The US federal government has high current debt levels.
Though not astronomical by current world standards.
Current US government bond rates are low.
On current projections, deficits worsen and the debt spirals.
Another depiction, focusing on the next decade:
Many of our current problems stem from decisions we've made in the past decade.
Medicare and Medicaid costs, which as seen above make up a large part of the projected expansion of future deficits, are expected to increase more because of health care costs than an aging population.
US health care costs are out of whack compared to the rest of the world.
That trend started in the 1980s.
The problem with health care costs is, therefore, an overall US policy matter, not a US government program matter– in fact, Medicare has done a better job reining in costs than private insurers.
Meanwhile, our tax burden is quite light– federal tax revenues are at historically low levels.
A decline in income tax revenue is part of the US's revenue problem…
… in part because we've lowered rates lately.
Corporate tax revenues are also at historically low levels.
Corporate profits, fortunately, have rebounded from recession levels.
Small businesses cite low demand as their main obstruction to growth.
Employment, unlike profits, has not recovered…
… despite low interest rates…
… and low inflation.
Which is a pretty big downer, obviously for the unemployed, but also because high levels of unemployment drag down compensation for everyone.
This in the larger context of decades of most benefits of economic growth going to the top 20% of wage earners, and rather unevenly even among that quintile.
ADDED: The growth of inequality in the recent past is a new phenomenon.
ADDED: Unemployment persists despite rising profits (Justin Fox at HBR adds some important caveats to this measure):
And a large amount of cash on hand for businesses:

Colt McCoy won't travel to Arizona
BEREA, Ohio -- Colt McCoy is expected to recover from his concussion and play for the Browns again this season. Benjamin Watson isn't as fortunate.
Watson was placed on injured reserve Friday, ending the tight end's season after he sustained his third concussion since July in last week's loss at Pittsburgh. Watson was injured when he banged his head on the ground following a tackle in the first half, couldn't get his balance and had to be helped to the sideline.
Watson who was Cleveland's leading receiver last season and had 37 catches for 410 yards and two touchdowns this year, visited a specialist on head injuries earlier this week.
Browns tight end Evan Moore was disappointed Watson's season ended prematurely, but understood the choice.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
"That's a big loss," Moore said. "All of us are really close with Ben. He's doing well. I don't know the ins and outs of how the decision was made, but I know when it comes to the head, it's not something you mess around with. So I think he not only has to think about himself but his family. And Ben's a smart guy, so I'm sure he wanted to go with the right decision."
Shurmur said Watson, a father of three who will turn 31 on Sunday, has not discussed with him the possibility of retiring.
Watson was not available for interviews as players packed following practice for their flight to Arizona. A team spokesman said per league policy, "players are not available until cleared from a medical standpoint."
McCoy, who was flattened last week on an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit by Steelers linebacker James Harrison, has not yet been cleared to play by Cleveland's medical staff, which came under heavy criticism for its handling of the QB's head injury.
McCoy is still experiencing headaches and was sent home Friday for the fourth time this week to rest. He was seen driving away from the team's facility in his pickup truck and will not accompany the team to Arizona.
Shurmur said there has been no discussion about placing McCoy on IR.
"He's still having some symptoms and that's why we sent him home," Shurmur said.
With McCoy sidelined, backup Seneca Wallace will make his first start this season against the Cardinals. Wallace went 1-3 in four starts last season, and Shurmur expects the nine-year veteran who will be making his 19th start in the NFL to play well.
"I'm anticipating that Seneca's going to go out and execute efficiently and I think we saw Colt do that at times this year," he said. "As a quarterback, you're trying to go out and do everything right all the time. Every once in a while you'll make a bad throw or a poor decision and then you get right back on the horse and try to correct it.
"I would anticipate, based on what I saw in practice, Seneca will do a good job."
Shurmur added that rookie fullback Owen Marecic is also out this week. Like McCoy and Watson, Marecic sustained a concussion against the Steelers, his second concussion in a month.
To replace Marecic, the Browns activated fullback Eddie Williams.
The Browns' handling of McCoy's injury -- he was not given the standard sideline concussion test until the next day -- prompted the league to send medical personnel to Cleveland to meet with the Browns. Representatives of the Players Association also attended the meeting to discuss the team's treatment of McCoy and possible changes to the league's policies on head injuries.
Team president Mike Holmgren said the team did not check McCoy for a concussion on the sideline because he was not displaying symptoms and because the medical staff did not see Harrison's vicious hit while attending to other injured players on the sideline.
Shurmur said the team is not planning any major changes to their procedures on concussions this week, but that McCoy's injury "made an impression on us."
On Friday, the league denied Harrison's appeal of his suspension, which the league handed down for his fifth illegal hit on a quarterback in three years. Harrison is the first player suspended under stricter guidelines for player safety.
Moore, who sustained a concussion earlier this year, is pleased there is increased awareness on concussions and more emphasis on player safety. He's also in favor of the league using independent neurologists at games to help assess head injuries.
"That's something that we could've addressed in the CBA before we finished things up," Moore said. "I think we as players tried to push for health issues but I think we sacrificed a couple things in the interest of getting the business side of it done.
"I thought we could have done a better job as a union -- that's how I personally feel -- of making sure we look after players first. It's something we could have done better and the unfortunate thing is we have a 10-year CBA with no opt out, so we've gotta try to find a way to get it done before then."
K Phil Dawson was pleased to learn general manager Tom Heckert wants him back next season. "It's nice to hear that. It beats the alternative," Dawson said with a smile. "It's good to know they're not looking for a young guy in the draft." The Browns placed their franchise tag on Dawson this season and could do so again. The 36-year-old is having another solid season, his 14th with the franchise. ... Williams, who wears No. 44, has been popping pads at practice for weeks. "He can drop his weight and block a guy so he'll get a chance to do it live on Sunday," Shurmur said.

Here's a picture of my newest project. It's labels for Hershey's® Kisses®. They're 3/4" round labels and the template was a 'bear' to set up!

Steve, they are GREAT! whatever made you think of this?! it's an inspiration! are they labels, or how are you attaching them? do they stick really well? |
What a great idea! I love 'em! (and it's not just because I love chocolate!) |
I'm interested too!! These are so very cute......what lables did you use?? Would you mind sharing the details?? I'd love to make these for my grandson's baby shower next month and put the proud pregnant mommy and daddy on them as a thanks for coming treat......thanks! vikki~~ |
Hi all! Thank you all for the nice words. But I've got to fess up. I got the idea from one of the many wrapper sites that I've been to. They had no plans or templates and only one small picture. So I decided to try and make them myself. It took a good while but I finally won out. Diane: The labels are from Avery and the stock # is 05408. Lia: Ya got to come clean Lady! It's the chocolate, isn't it? :o) |
OK Steve, I hate to break it to ya, but it's just because they're chocolate. Your print job looks terrible. I think you should just start over and send the mess-ups to me. Bwa-ha-hahaha! ;-) Hey, BTW, do you know they're talking about your work over on the voy. com Crafts Sayings forum? You're famous! |

Thanks for a wonderful project and for sharing with us! We've got a wedding coming up this Oct and my daughter is making me crazy with what she wants for the wedding favors. This by far is the cutest, smallest and most likely not to be tossed (or eaten) away favor I have seen yet. This could even be put in a miniature curio shelf. I think she will love it! Thanks again, Carmen |
- Posted by Sneekersmom (My Page) on Tue, Mar 4, 03 at 19:21
Okay, Steve! You've got me thinking now...... What program did you use to make the template? I can only think of about 1000 things that I could use these for!!! Sneekersmom |
Hi Sneekersmom. I used the label 'section' in Print Shop to set up the template for the stickers. I'm guessing that any program you have that deals with labels, especially Avery labels, would work as well. If you're interested, email me directly (members page) and I'll send you all the instructions. Take care, Steve C |
- Posted by Country_Bumpkin_AL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 10, 03 at 8:36
I didn't have the "dot" labels in my version of PrintShop (version 6), so I'm gonna try to do the next best thing. I did manage to get a template made in my PrintShop (3/4" circle) and I'm gonna do the next best thing. Print them out of Full label sheets and then use a 3/4" paper punch to punch them out. Can't remember where I saw it...but they were also using these on the Starlight Mints!! |
Afternoon C.B. I emailed you directly. Forgot that your comment came from this forum. :o( A couple of places to look for the punches would be: http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home http://www.thecraftypc.com/index.html and www.marvy.com Take care and hope ya get into production soon, Steve |

What a great memory game this would make - you just eat the pairs you find! Great idea, thanks for sharing. |
Steve, did you "hole-punch" yours? I want to make them but on 3/4" labels that I can just peel off.... |
Marcia, I e-mailed you directly. But to answer your question, no, I bought the stickers already made. Steve C |
Steve, I missed the wedding kisses..could you send a picture..or post it one more time? Thanks (I saw the other ones) |
Sorry that I took so long but here's my attempt at posting those KISSES again. Steve C |

Steve, I wanted to thank you for this great idea. We went to a friend's 50th b'day party this weekend and I adapted your idea for our gift. They were a real hit, although he wouldn't let anyone have any cause he's running for political office and he wants to use them for his campaign - I told him I could make up some new ones that said "Vote For" instead of happy birtday but he didn't care. BTW I used the punch method and it worked great. The hardest part of the whole project was making a box that showed them all face up when it was opened! (My DH thought it would be tacky to ask for the box back to reuse it again) I'd post a pic but I forgot to take one! Just wanted to say thanks again. |
Lorraine, you're quite welcome! I'm glad they turned out to be such a hit. Great people come from Jersey (that's you)! Me,Burl.Co., thank you. Have a good night, Steve |

I would also love to see them... Thanks Steve. |
Hi All, I'd just like to let you all know that I don't make this type of label anymore because the set up was a lot of trouble. Sorry, SteveC |
That's too bad, Steve. I remember seeing them and they were really nice. I wish Avery, or one of the other companies, made stickers the correct size for the kisses. |

CBS 2 - Search Results
What Iowa Health And Wellness Plan Means
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- Thousands of Iowa's poor and poverty stricken adults under IowaCare watched it come down to the wire.
I knew something was gonna take place, I didn't know what at the time, resident Mary Sexton.
The federal government has finally accepted the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan, which means changes for people like Sexton, who is currently on IowaCare and being transferred to the new plan
Glad there's something out there to help people that are in need of help, Sexton said.
Before the law, those low income patients under IowaCare in eastern Iowa could only go to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for care.
That ended up causing hardships on a number of individuals that didn't have the money to afford the travel, said Jeffrey Tourdot, an Affordable Care Act Education and Outreach Specialist.
Under the new rules, patients can visit any doctor that participates in the program.
That will be very convenient for me, we also have good doctors here as well, Sexton said.
Experts say it provides a win-win for doctors.
Hospitals that have individuals coming through that were previously uninsured will have the insurance in place so that they also get reimbursed, Tourdot said.
Not all parts of the plan were approved however.
The state wanted to require a premium for those at or under the 100 percent poverty level if they didn't participate in wellness activities.
The federal government rejected that idea, saying the state can only charge those above the 100 percent level if they don't meet those health goals.
Sexton says she's OK with that provision.
As long as it's within reason, I wouldn't have too much problem paying, Sexton said. I like helping myself along the way.
With less than a few weeks before IowaCare was set to run out, she's happy that her healthcare will likely continue, seemingly better than before.
Now it will be up to Governor Branstads office to sign it into law. His office sent out the following statement on Tuesday:
The Branstad Administration has had ongoing communications with U.S. Health and Human Services officials today. The conversations have been productive and Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds are optimistic about a clear path forward including premium contributions promoting healthy behaviors, without loss of coverage, in accordance with Iowa law. Conversations will continue on details needed for approval of the bi-partisan Iowa Health and Wellness Plan.

Recent Comments:
Have emblems ruined heroics? (Hint: no) {WoW}
Feb 4th 2010 7:16AM As of now, running heroics is nearly the only way for people to even step in a raid, such as ICC. Alot of folks are casual players, who, until the LFD system came into play, never got a chance to run much of anything. Now those limitations are gone and everyone can gear up equally and without much needed issues.
As an MT for my guild, I run about 8-9 hours a days on chain heroics. I pick up about 3 guild mates who are working on main spec/off and at least 1 person from my server (just cause it seems like the right thing to do).
I actually DO look for undergeared players who are looking to run heroics for a really long time. Doing chain heroics and using the LFD tool to find those who are needing better gear or just to even experience what it is like to do a heroic (some, I have found out, have been kicked so many times because of gear it isn't even funny...that or dps).
So the LFD system is a great tool and a great way to have fun even to kill off an hour or too. The badge system I can say, could use some "tweaking" like with what one poster stated regarding the PUG raid lockout not being a viable option. A number of pug raids fail. Sad but true.
In defense of care packages and mandatory authenticators {WoW}
Jan 11th 2010 11:54AM Technology has made people lose common sense.
You don't have to be in IT or know a ton of computer jargon to be a savy pc user. Scams are everywhere. Blizzard Authenticators are great. When they first started selling them last year, I was myself hesistant about it. Now I have NEVER looked back.
But, just because you have an Authenticator, does NOT give you an excuse to have some common sense in following a link to a particular website. Say for instance: wow-blizzard.com/free pet. Now, seriously, if you think about it, if you received a pm of this from someone, you need to be suspicious. But of course, many folks will follow the link because like most people, everyone wants something for nothing and want things fast and right away.
This will cost you, more than you think.
If you don't have any clue about how to recognize certain things that are harmful, you need to educate yourself. You need to be familiar and READ the splash screens on wow's loading screens. You need to educate yourself on how to spot fake links. This isn't about WoW only. This will serve you in any situation that you are on when online. Because....YOU have to be responsible.
I kind of feel bad for people who get hacked, but not for long. I mean Authenticator's do NOT cost alot. And if you can't get one, then just use common sense. I mean, if someone follows a random link and gets hacked, by all means you deserve it. It is like leaving the keys in your sports car with a bunch of crooks circling around.
When online, you are your best security. Programs and devices have made people rely on technology way too much and we are losing common sense because we feel the need to rely on others to make our decisions for us. Which is why I will never have a GPS unit. But that is another story.
Helpful hints:
1. Do not follow a link advertised in a private message to you unless you actually know the person and trust them, same goes for emails
2. Buy an Authenticator, seriously, I am sure most of spend more than $6 a day for lunch. So just invest in one. It will save you alot in the long run.
3. Don't visit any site that asks you to put in your account information unless it is worldofwarcraft.com. If you are not sure if you are on the right page, just google: World of Warcraft, first links are usually the best ones and have the most information
4. Invest in some good antivirus software.
5. For heavens sakes, please use common sense. There should not be ANYONE having a hacked account if you use even just a few of the methods people mention. It is really not that hard.
6. Don't give out your account info to ANYONE. Treat it as you would treat your social security number!
This is a long read, but I have to be honest, I can't really sympathize much for people who get hacked. You are your best line of defense.
WoW Rookie: The fresh 80's guide to getting started in five-mans {WoW}
Jan 7th 2010 12:30PM Much of this hits the nail on the head for me...
I lvl'ed my shadow priest so fast that I didn't even run any dungeons or anything until I hit 80. What did I do next? Found some peoples who could help me craft gear JUST so I can at least enter ANY instance. That's bad...but it worked. So there I was in blues, and worked my ass off to get triumph emblems. I got my full T9 dps set in about 1 day and then enchanted, gemmed, and that was it. My dps still sucks, I think it is like 2.5 or something like that, but the thing about it is...even if you are not doing 3.5 or anything close to that, you can still TRY to do as much as you can to help the group.
Where am I getting at with this? To any newly fresh 80s out there...don't be strayed or influenced by those leet folks who keep berating you about how much dps you do or what gear you have on. Gear comes in time. Not one person here can say they were in full epics pulling 5k dps in a single night.
The learning of your rotation/getting gear/knowing your toon inside and out...all comes in time. Trust me. You do whatever you can to make sure you stay alive and keep the killing spree happening. As long as you do that, everyone else will do their job.
Remember...there is no "I" in teamwork
Breakfast Topic: Not This Again {WoW}
Dec 30th 2009 9:58AM Old Kingdom....I've been farming badges for 14 hours over the course of 8 days on all my toons while on vacation, and I can't STAND Old Kingdom, I must have been through that instance in one day 9 times at last count. Anything else, I can deal with.
Retaliation battlegroup down again {WoW}
Jun 19th 2009 7:10PM Pfft....man, they probably forgot to put that extra 32mb of memory back into the server...geez...come on Blizzard....not that difficult :P

A touching and important reminder to take the time to tell your children what you value in life. Make sure they know what is important to you and how you would like them to live their life. I just assumed they knew what I expected of them. What my wishes were for them in the future. Have that talk now and continue the talk always because you never know when they will have to let you go.

LEGO Adventure Book vol. 2 press release: featured builders
Posted by Huw,Megan Rothrock's LEGO Adventure Books are unlike other LEGO books and much better for it. We gave volume one a rave review when it was released last November.
Now, we can exclusively reveal the builders whose models feature in volume two, which will be published this November, along with more information about the book:
LEGO® Adventure Book Volume 2: Spaceships, Pirates, Dragons & more!
Author, long time AFOL, LEGO Community member and former LEGO Designer Megan H. Rothrock is about to bring us a new LEGO adventure!
Following the highly successful LEGO Adventure Book Volume 1, the LEGO Adventure Book Volume 2: Spaceships, Pirates, Dragons & more will hit the shelves in November.
Like LAB vol. 1 Megan has gathered more highly talented AFOLs from the LEGO Community to bring us all new LEGO models.
Megs and Brickbot are also back for more building and adventure as well as some new characters that have been added to this colourful cast of creativity.
Megan says "I am thrilled to have created a sequel to my first LEGO Adventure Book and to have been able to work with such wonderful and talented AFOLs from around the world. With both books the experience of working with the Featured Builders has been great! The sequel is stacked with gorgeous never before seen LEGO models to build and I am excited to share them with my fellow LEGO fans."
Check out some sample spreads from the book after the break:
I'm very pleased to see that Barney Main's work is being featured because he's one of my favourite builders. His MOCs are full of fascinating details and imaginative use of parts.
Megan, along with some of the builders and their models, will be at the Great Western LEGO Show in Swindon in October.
The book can be preordered from Amazon, where you'll be able to see more of the book's content:
Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.com ! Amazon.ca.
Wow, that book looks EXCELLENT! Defenitly going to try and get it.
Looks pretty good,i like building lego dragons and spaceships so this book might give me some ideas.
Pre-ordered a longtime ago, release has been pushed back twice already. Cannot wait, vol. 1 was excellent! I am thinking of getting a second copy of each so the kids can have one to use without daddy telling them " be careful with it!! " all the time :-)
What an amazing lineup. Yay Yvonne!
It's a sequel? I don't even remember the first one.
To quote my brother, "Wow. Just, wow." This looks like a great book! Man, I want it!
This book complements the Dorling Kindersley ideas book nicely.
Less of an emphasis on the legal and official. But the same builder/thematic approach. Models are a bit more on the AFOL side when it comes to technique and looks.
This is going to be awesome.
I completely forgot to order the first volume, so will have to pick up both books soon. They look outstanding!
Can you get this from Waterstones?

Alright, since it was a good topic on another thread, lets duke it out. There are various thoughts on who out weighs who as far as consistency and quality. Florida is getting my vote.
Post pics, videos or thoughts backing up your argument.
This is only one video, but focus on the 2:00 - 3:00 minute mark in it. I would say, hands down, those waves in this Florida video are bigger, cleaner more makeable barrels than I have ever seen footage of in Jersey.
P.S. Still shots of pre-closeout standup barrels don't count. I'm trying to see guys in solid 15 foot surf getting shacked and coming OUT of the green room like the footage below.
And lets face it, Sandy was nice to Florida surfers, but every single year the same thing happens, some freak swell makes random florida spots go nuts... My argument is that Florida's atlantic coast not only has more ridable days, the sand and reefs down there can hold enormous swells that the midatlantic cant...

My Golf Tips
Shots to Practice in the Off Season
During the Winter months it can be really difficult to get yourself motivated to do any kind of practice but to keep your game in check and make sure it's sharp for the beginning of the next season the short game is the area to work on.
Shots from 100 yards and in can make a huge difference to your scores - so get down to the practice ground or range and practice your chipping, lob shots and wedges. Always make sure you use a target as this will help with your alignment and also you will know how far the shots are going. A range finder is a good device to measure your shots when practicing and when you get the feel for certain distances this will really help you when out on the course.

I have an echo blower that was given to me and it will not start, I have rebuilt the carb. new plug, and fresh gas...it's drawing gas from the tank into the carb, but I don't think it's getting gas into the cyclinder. Does anyone have any suguestions?
Hope to hear back. It's a Zama C1U carb... Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you verified no gas going to the cylinder? Take off the plug, close the choke and pull a few time, if you have gas, you should smell it from the spark plug hole. If not, you don't have gas. If you have gas, check the spark. |
If your not sure as to gas within the Combustion Chamber add a few drops of fuel or starting fluid into the spark plug hole then replace plug and try restarting , it should fire or run for a few seconds. If not you not getting any spark ! Ty . |

I saw this film years ago and I still can't get it out of my head. I really should like it. Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are both lovely people. In fact, the cast is really pretty fantastic. It's just the stupidity of the comedy that kills it for me. A couple who are all about doing the "cool Christmas thing," which includes no stupid sweaters and trips to tropical islands end up visiting their divorced parents in one day. Okay, not a bad premise, but the slapstick has the quality of a couple of young boys making fart jokes. I guess I was supposed to have my heart warmed by the ending, but really, I kept thinking that they all needed a good smack upside the head. There were rumors of Witherspoon and Vaughn feuding on the set. Not sure if it's true, but the two dust bunnies under my bed have more chemistry than they did. Bah humbug.

Jingle All the Way
Hold the Christmas tree! While Arnold Schwarzenegger may be one of my favorite actors, even I have to admit that not all of his films are winners- just look at Jingle All the Way. This one oozes a stink that will clear the room, which can be handy when you've got relatives visiting for the holidays and they just won't leave. While JAtW (as the hardcore fans call it) was meant to be a satire on the commercialization of Christmas, it's more of a satire on good movies, and ends up being incredibly materialistic and really, really not funny. There may be a laugh here or there for some, but ultimately you'd be better off spending your family time all sitting in the same room actually talking to each other and listening to each other's boring stories than watching this stinker. Even with great comedy actors like Sinbad and Phil Hartman doing their damndest to keep this film funny, it just isn't, which is why Jingle All the Way rode the painfully dull sleigh into my
pick as worst holiday movie.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
When you think of aliens, naturally your mind also drifts to Santa Claus. No? Well, the creators of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians thought it was a pairing as natural as peanut butter and more peanut butter. This schlocky gem is gaudy, maudlin, and somehow earnest in its portrayal of St. Nick's interactions with the Martian people. The entire thing, from the special effects to the acting to the story, may be stilted and bizarre, but this flick is sure to entertain those searching for something riffable, but with an old-timey holiday flair.
– Alex Langley
Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2
Slasher movies of the '80s had a reputation for being crass cash-ins, but few if any fit the bill as well as 1987′s Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. There are others that kill running time by using footage from their predecessors in flashbacks, but this 88-minute film spends the first 40 minutes on Ricky (Eric Freeman), the younger brother of the original killer Santa, narrating highlights from part 1. He's recounting the story to a psychiatrist, even though for most of the events he was either a baby or not present. Then he strangles the doc with reel-to-reel tape and goes on a rampage killing date rapists, noisy movie patrons, etc.
Freeman makes the proceedings hilarious with one of the most unbridled non-Nicolas Cage performances put on film as he goes around bugging his eyes out, yelling at people and making a guy's eyes explode by hooking his tongue to a car battery. I have to admit, I think part 1 is a pretty decent Christmas horror movie, but I've watched this one more. Once I even tested my fortitude by watching them back-to-back, which is how I noticed that the Santa mistakenly shot by the police is identified as Father O'Brien in part 1 but "old man Kelsey, the janitor" in part 2. What, they didn't have time to go back and check?
So this is a great movie but with its maniacal cruelty it's not really in the spirit of the season, so I don't recommend it for your family get togethers and that's why it's the worst Christmas movie. (I haven't seen the live action Grinch.)
– Vern
The Polar Express
I knew something was wrong when I first saw The Polar Express. It had everything going for it. The director of Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? creating a new magical world of fantasy, an animation technology that would let Tom Hanks play every character. The trailers looked good, but watching the movie for all of five minutes, it just looked wrong. And the story was nonsense. It's not just because they had to stretch out a children's book. Plenty of movies have made full length stories out of short sources. There was just no momentum. They ride the train, maybe throw in an action sequence or musical number, then they get to the North Pole and come back. And the music sucked. That Hot Chocolate song? "Hot hot hot, we got it. Hot hot hot, we got it." Where's Randy Newman when you need him? In three more films, Zemeckis would still not perfect his performance capture animation and James Cameron would render it completely obsolete with Avatar.
– Fred Topel
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Maybe I'm a cranky old elf but I find How The Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey to be one of the films dragging along the bottom of my list of watchable Christmas films. Sure, it's an incredibly ambitious film visually and Carrey's performance is as big. crazy, and unrestrained as you would expect when you think of a Jim Carrey Grinch, but ultimately the film drags on and on and somehow seems to miss the point of the original Suess story altogether. Carrey's Grinch is too menacing when he simply needs to be mean, too over the top enraged when he just needs to be slyly cruel, and generally unbelievable when he transforms into the redemptive soul that is so effectively charming in the original animated feature. No amount of polish, style, and noise can replace the heart and core message of never giving up on warming the hearts of the curmudgeonly and alone during the holidays. While Ron Howard and team deserve kudos for trying, it's still a swing and a miss.
– Steven Horn
Santa Claus: The Movie
If you want the worst Christmas film of all time, look no further than Santa Claus: The Movie! Brought to you by producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind (aka the people who thought Superman III was a good idea), Santa Claus: The Movie tries to demystify the Christmas icon and explain away some of the mythology that surrounds him.
But Santa's origin only lasts a few minutes before a very mortal Claus (David Huddleston) and his wife, Anya (Judy Cornwell) along with their non-flying reindeer magically escape a deadly snowstorm and find themselves in the North Pole surrounded by elves (or the "Vendequm" as they're called here) because… CHRISTMAS MAGIC! And an elf prophecy or whatever…
Let's just say that the Rankin/Bass animated special, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town had a better way of explaining Santa's quirks, and even that wasn't very well written!
But Santa is not really the star of this movie. Instead, an inordinate amount of the focus falls on Patch (Dudley Moore), an elf who exiles himself to the modern world of the '80s after unknowingly sending out toys that break easily. Patch ends up working for John Lithgow's B.Z., a toymaker who is so over-the-top evil that he not only has his stuffed bears filled with broken glass and nails, he wants to take over Christmas itself. Lithgow is the only one in this movie who doesn't completely embarrass himself with his performance, even though the cast has more talent than is apparent here.
Granted, Santa Claus: The Movie would have made a great episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, but it has no reason to exist beyond that.

Global Table
New York, NY, 10012, United States
Citizens of the style world decorate their dining rooms with finds from this tiny shop full of artfully stacked minimalist china, jewel-like tea sets, and cheery place settings. Everything is casually elegant and classic but of-the-moment and, in most cases, surprisingly affordable. The goods are selected by owner Nathalie Smith, a former stylist, so it's not surprising that the well-edited selection of merchandise is arrayed as if ready for its Elle Décor close-up. Pick from among the Moroccan tagines, starfish-shaped bone china candles made in the Philippines, and Thomas Paul melamine plates from Vietnam.
Tip: Small, good things—candles for porcelain candlesticks, cards to top presents—are hidden in the tiny back room of the shop, behind the owner's desk; step around for a peek.

New A Bryan Photo website is live!!
We are proud to announce the new A Bryan Photo website and blog! This has been a labor of love for over a year and a half and I'm ecstatic that the site is finally a reality. There are many things to share about the site and we have decided to divide the content into 2 blog posts. First we want to address why we felt a new website was a necessity for A Bryan Photo.
1. The Rebrand. As we shared previously, we underwent a rebrand of our company last year with Matchstic. Following that inspiring process, we realized we needed a website that celebrated the charm of analog capture, craftsmanship and the American South. A new website would give us this opportunity to display these passions in an interactive way. Having just a new logo and mark wasn't enough.
2. Our Process. We are very proud of our photographic process. From the cameras we use to the way we print, our site now allows us to share each step of our daily routine.
3. "Wedding, Lifestyle, Super 8" The focus of our company has changed over the past few years, primarily with the growing interest in our wedding Super 8 films. It is no longer just a side offering for a wedding day, but instead a pillar of the ABP brand. We have also seen the increased popularity our lifestyle Super 8 and Homemade Films packages. We are so excited about have a greater platform for telling more stories through motion picture.
Tomorrow we will share all the exciting features that make this site unique from our last one.
For now, enjoy looking through the site.
Many many thanks to:
Alvin of Matchstic, for the overall design of the site.
Bottlecap Development, for the overall programming of the site.
Branden, for much of the subpage design and programming.

PBIO Is Poised to Grow in 2012
By Grant Zeng, CFA
Patented, Proprietary Platform Technology with Competitive Advantages
Pressure BioSciences (PBIO) is a research products and services provider for the life science industry. The Company is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of a novel, enabling platform technology called pressure cycling technology (:PCT).
PCT uses cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (≥35,000 psi) to control bio-molecular interactions. The current product portfolio includes Barocyclers, PCT based instruments, and consumables, which include PULSE (Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction) Tubes as well as application specific kits (which include consumable products and reagents). The instruments and the consumables together make up the PCT Sample Preparation System (PCT SPS). The system follows the highly successful and profitable "razor and blade" business model.
We are impressed with and optimistic about PBI's patented, novel, enabling PCT platform technology. The Company's PCT Sample Preparation System (PCT SPS) has competitive advantages over existing technologies in the sample preparation market. The Company continues to make progress in pushing the technology from the conventional use in life science labs into new application areas.
Based upon the PCT platform, PBIO has established a broad product portfolio for the sample preparation market. The instruments and consumables, a "razor and blade" model, that form its PCT Sample Preparation System (PCT SPS) are now increasingly being recognized by many research labs as a novel and paradigm shifting sample preparation method due to PBIO's focused marketing efforts. We believe uptake of the PCT SPS will accelerate in the coming years.
The Niche Market, Rather Large but Underserved
PBI is currently targeting the research products and services market. The research products and services market is a multi-billion dollar market. Sales from Life Technologies Corp (formerly known as Invitrogen) alone were $3.2 billion in 2009 and revenue from Qiagen NV also crossed the $1 billion mark in 2009 and will record double digit growth in the next few years. The market is still growing rapidly, although there have been some negative events developing in the life science industry in recent years such as the restructuring and consolidation in pharmaceutical/biotech industry and reduction of government research grant for medical research in the US. On the other hand, the downsize of research spending in the US has been offset by increased research spending in other parts of the world especially in emerging markets such as in China and India. As a result, the market has attracted many players like Qiagen, Life Technologies and Affymetrix.
Pressure BioSciences elected to initially focus its resources on the market of genomic, proteomic, and small molecule sample preparation because sample preparation:
- is a rapidly growing market;
- has a large and immediate need for better technology;
- is comprised mostly of research laboratories, which are subject to minimal governmental regulation;
- is compatible with its technical core competency; and
- is the area in which the Company has strong patent protection.
We think the Company's Barocycler instrumentations and PCT-dependent consumable products fill an important and growing need in the sample preparation market for the safe, rapid, versatile, reproducible, and quality extraction of nucleic acids, proteins, and small molecules from a wide variety of plant and animal cells and tissues.
The research products and services market is rapidly growing with a large and immediate need for better technology, which we expect will create a huge opportunity for PBIO to grow its business in the coming years.
Great Progress Has been Made in 2011
In fiscal year 2011, PBIO has made great progress in terms of business development and financing.
• PBIO announced that NASDAQ has given the Company until Feb 29th to get back into compliance. Therefore, the Company's shares will remain listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market until then.
• Over a dozen presentations have been made at scientific meetings, discussing the advantages of PCT over current sample prep methods.
• PBIO has received a grant from the NIH for $161K to help develop a new method for the processing of cancer and other samples.
• PBIO has received a grant from the Dept of Defense for $750K to help develop a new PCT-based instrument for high throughput processing, using the 96-well template that is universal in labs worldwide.
• PBIO has filed and been granted a three year, S-3 shelf registration for up to $15 million, so that the Company will have access to funds, if needed.
• PBIO has already successfully used the shelf registration in an $843 offering in November 2011.
• The Company's revenue in Q3 2011 was 50% greater than revenue in either Q1 or Q2 2011. Its PCT products revenue in Q3 was the highest it has been in a year.
• PBIO expects to announce expanded distribution capabilities for its PCT product line before the end of the 2011 year.
What are the implications for PBIO?
The Company has turned the corner. We think PBIO is poised to grow dramatically in fiscal 2012.
PBIO is an emerging leader in the sample preparation market with its unique and powerful PCT platform technology. The Company's PCT technology has competitive advantages over existing technologies in the sample preparation market. As we pointed out in our previous research reports, PBIO is still in its early stage of commercialization and PCT is increasingly gaining recognition by research labs worldwide.
Things are better at PBIO now than they have been in over a year, yet the stock is still down to a third of its price a year ago. Therefore, we maintain our Outperform rating for PBIO with a price target of $5 per share.

text: By Katelyn Gendron Assistant Managing Editor SPRINGFIELD Being someone's "best bud" has been given a whole new meaning thanks to the non-profit Best Buddies. The organization's Western Massachusetts division serves more than 800 students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) attending middle and high schools and colleges by pairing them with volunteers who develop friendships and enhance social interaction. According to Kate Crowther, area director for Best Buddies Massachusetts, more can be done to better the lives of those with IDD, which is why her organization has founded the inaugural Best Buddies Open golf tournament on June 20. "Best Buddies Massachusetts, for which we are a regional office, does not receive any state or federal aid to run our programs. Additionally, for every dollar we raise, 89 on the dollar goes directly to our programs," Crowther explained. "The foundation we are building is for a legacy of inclusion and acceptance for people with IDD," she continued. "We are a community supported and grant funded organization. Without special events like this, we are not able to maintain funding for the programs we have or take steps to expand. "Once we are able to attain stability, we will be able to incorporate the Best Buddies Integrated Employment program to our region. The unemployment rate for people with IDD is approximately 90 percent unemployed. "Without employment, not only does a person face an uncertain future, but requires a greater dependence on already taxed social services and state programs. "Best Buddies is an intermediary for addressing these hardships while, at the same time, creating a better future for the beneficiary and enriching the work environment of our employer partner," she continued. Crowther said the monies raised will go toward the promotion of several goals, including effective one-to-one mentoring opportunities; reversing stigmas associated with those who have IDD; and developing social skills for people with IDD that aid in their independence. Crowther said by pairing with businesses and celebrities such as the New England Patriots, she hopes the golf tournament will yield at least $25,000. Ben Craft, chair of the advisory board for Best Buddies Western Massachusetts, noted that in light of the June 1 tornado, the organization has decided to forego gifts for golfers and instead donate $5 per participant to relief efforts. "One of the priorities of Best Buddies is to be part of the community," he said of the donation. Craft emphasized the value of Best Buddy friendships adding, "We're hoping that people will come out for the day and come away feeling energized, while understanding the value of these relationships with a desire to participate in the long term." The tournament will take place June 20 at Hampden Country Club with a registration and barbecue lunch at 10:30 a.m. Registration fees are $100 per golfer or $400 per foursome. Those who'd rather participate in just the post-golf reception at 5:30 p.m. may do so for a cost of $30 per ticket. For more information, to register or to become a sponsor, visit the organization's Web site, www.bestbuddiesmassachusetts.org/golf or call Crowther at 259-1714. |

Hello This is my first post after searching and searching. A little info: Building a craftsman style home. Will be having a dark wood floor in our kitchen. It is a very open kitchen but kind of small. Looking to have white cabinets and would like a white counter top to keep it open. Walls will be a light blue. I am having a hard time finding a counter top. Builder is including granite, but I have found some quartz I like. I really like the marble look, not the spotty granite. I LOVE "princess white or white princess" but can't find it here in Michigan, not sure if it is a different name here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The whites are beautiful, but understand too that the lighter granites have a tendency to stain and etch more than the darker toned granted. I am not sure about quartz. |
"The whites are beautiful, but understand too that the lighter granites have a tendency to stain and etch more than the darker toned granted. " the preceding statement is not accurate. Light colored "granites" in general are no more prone to etching than any other colors. They are also no more prone to staining except for the fact that a stain could easily be more noticeable in a lighter colored stone. If you are a reasonably good housekeeper you shouldn't worry about staining as it is a relatively rare occurence (less than 12 incidents in several thousand jobs) and if it does occur most of the time a stain can be removed. pick something that has the look you want. ALL quartz brands are made on the same machines so if you've found one you like go for it. |
Hi Kalyn, I live in the Detroit Metro area and PMP Marble and Granite in Troy usually has White Princess quartzite in stock. If you live close I would suggest them. They have a large inventory of granite and marble. I just put a deposit on beautiful White Princess for my new build. |
A simple google search for marble look alike or marble alternative will turn up tons of links explaining the different options. |
