Thanks so much for all the positive feedback on Ravelry! A few have emailed to find out where they can obtain the first issue: it's being distributed in the United States by Classic Elite, so any yarn store who carries their yarn can order the magazine as well as the yarn. I'm distributing myself in Canada – email me at infoATstdenisyarnsDOTcom for the list of Canadian retailers or watch the website for more details.

Will the magazine be distributed in Australia? The patterns are so pretty…..
I can't decide which is my favorite – what a lovely collection!
They are all so pretty – Classic Elite isn't available in the UK, can you tell us who will distribute here?
Adding my voice to the chorus to ask if the magazine will be distributed in France/Europe. The patterns are lovely, well done!
My LYS (where I also work part-time) just got this in and I snatched up a copy immediately. Beautifully done and the yarn is wonderful as well. I'm having a hard time choosing my first project!
Ummm…CAN. NOT. WAIT.
(resuming vigil at LYS).
Someday, when I have my no- longer-imaginary yarn shop, I will stock your wares, bebe V! Loved seeing you tonight and getting my first scan of the magazine of wonderfulness.
My LYS doesn't carry Classic Elite. Where else can I a copy? Is it available through Barnes and Noble or Amazon???? Love the patterns
It will only be available through yarn stores – but many online yarn retailers will carry it. Chack Classic Elite's web site for the full list:

Whether or not you played with LEGOS growing up, (and what designer didn't) large scale LEGO constructions always capture the imagination of both children and adults. Early last week, LEGO opened its first NYC flagship retail store in the heart of Rockefeller Center, greeting customers and tourist passersby with the opportunity to help construct a 15-foot-tall model of a Big Apple near its entrance. The large scale model is just one of many NYC-themed constructions and vignettes designed and assembled by LEGO Master Builders exhibited throughout the store. This weekend we got a chance to take a closer look.
Upon entering, the first thing you notice is not the swooping LEGO constructed dragon that winds itself throughout the store, or even the larger than life LEGO brick lighting fixtures above, but a multi-colored wall of brightly lit containers each holding a specific style of LEGO piece for your consumption. The buffet style "Pick a Brick" station offers customers the chance to fill either a large or small plastic cup ($14.99 and $7.99, respectively) with as many LEGOS as they can fit and still close the lid. The bricks--many stock elements in just about every color and size--also include a variety of harder to find esoteric pieces (think tree branches, handles, ladders, and the like) making "Pick a Brick" an inspirational planning ground for any builder.
Complementing "Pick a Brick" is the nearby "Build a Mini" station, which consists of figural components that allow you to custom configure mini LEGO people to inhabit your world. With multiple combinations of facial expressions, clothing, hair styles, and headgear, the possibilities seem endless. Want to create a grumpy fireman wielding a shovel and pirate sword? They've got that.
Rounding out the hands-on shopping experience is of course every LEGO construction set imaginable. There are kits for everyone including jumbo Duplo blocks for toddlers, Technic and Mindstorms systems for young engineers, and for fanboys in every imaginable category kits of the popular thematic worlds of Star Wars, Bionicle, and the new Architecture series by LEGO artist Adam Reed Tucker.
We also couldn't help but notice some of the high tech approaches the store was taking to pique customer interest. LEGO video games were begging for attention at a series of computer kiosks while a few clunky mobile check-out devices seemed to be abandoned by store employees. There was one engaging station, however, that had us grabbing LEGO sets off the shelves to try. Digital Box, is an "augmented reality" kiosk that allows customers to hold up select LEGO City boxes to view on-screen animated versions of their contents. When it worked (employees said they're still working out the kinks) it was both surprising and delightful.
Check out the LEGO Store--and a quick demo of the aforementioned Digital Box kiosk--in our video of the new flagship.

The discoveries come on top of numerous psyllids from the Rio Grande Valley that have been tested and found positive for citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing.
Although the positive psyllids don't result in regulatory action, they are a good indication that the disease is present in the area, according to the TexasCitrusGreening.org website.
Trent Bishop, a TexaSweet board member and sales manager with Mission-based Lone Star Citrus Growers, said he strongly supported the marketing group's change in priorities.
"That's not to say that in years to come we may not go back to the original intention of what TexaSweet was built for," he said.
Efforts also focus on isolating any psyllids that are found, Hawkins said.
"On the research side, there hasn't been a breakthrough, but we do have pretty good work going in terms of finding methodologies that may have promise in the future, with nursery stocks that have some resistance to the disease. I think it's going pretty well in that regard," he said.
Ongoing surveys have detected no other outbreaks, Hawkins said.
"We continue to look throughout the state in terms of surveying to find any other outbreaks, and it hasn't found any new detections," he said.
Worries about greening are widespread across the region, although Texas' problems with the disease pale in comparison to Florida, Hawkins said.
"It's been found in every citrus-producing county there," he said.
Hopes are high that the problem eventually will be eradicated, Hawkins said.
"I think they're doing all the right things and everything they can," he said.
Jeffrey Arnold, salesman with the Edinburg, Texas-based Edinburg Citrus Association, said his organization is doing all it can to fight citrus greening, with regular spraying and monitoring.
"We remain cautiously optimistic, and are fortunate to have the (Texas Citrus Mutual) in direct communication with Florida in order to take advantage of catching this early enough to minimize the spread of greening," Arnold said.

What's in a name?
If you don't know Svend, perhaps you know Hans. Hans Rosenberg has managed the door at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel for more than 30 years. Hans is no hottie; he looks as if he has opened doors for kings and queens, which he has. When you return to the hotel after two months or two years and he recognizes you, or at least acts as if he does, you feel good. And even if you are booked into the new wing of the hotel, it is Hans who welcomes you, which is to say, some of the luster of the old wing rubs off on you.
Hans has seen many changes at the hotel. The most critical moment came in the mid eighties, when its legendary owner, Hernando Courtright—a man of charm and social position, and the face of the Beverly Wilshire—decided to retire. How do you replace one man's word that you will enjoy your stay?You bring in an even bigger reputation, that of a brand. What used to be known as Hernando Courtright's Beverly Wilshire is now known as the Regent Beverly Wilshire/A Four Seasons Hotel. Regent is code for finely tuned Asian-style service. Four Seasons is a guarantee of that famous bed and all possible creature comforts. Everybody got the message, and the Beverly Wilshire today is thriving.
The Ritz-Carlton Boston is the archetype of the American grand hotel. Built in 1927 by César Ritz, it inspired a brand. Did you know that those cobalt-blue glasses on the dining tables in every Ritz-Carlton are meant as little reminders of the chandeliers at the original hotel in Boston?
Yet even the original has to keep changing, to bring itself up to the standards of the brand it launched. Currently it is closed, scheduled to reopen in October with a brighter palette, its old furniture refinished, its bathrooms modernized, and its marble lobby gently restored.
Last fall Ritz-Carlton opened a second hotel in Boston just two blocks away, a contemporary building that has sleek rooms and a restaurant with an open kitchen. "They're so different, people don't even try to compare them," says John Rolfs, general manager of both Boston hotels. The newcomer nevertheless put pressure on the old hotel to evolve. "You try to keep the classic elements and expand the offerings, make them a little more modern," Rolfs says. "You would never take away teatime, but you can add Chinese black tea and improve the sandwiches."

Keurig 2.0 brews up DRM to freeze out copycat cups
In an effort to reclaim control over the single-serve coffee market, Keurig parent company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' new generation of "Keurig 2.0" brewers will include interactive readers programmed to work only with Keurig-licensed K-Cups. The company confirmed the news in a recent earnings call, as reported by Techdirt. The new brewers are due out in stores later this year.

SYRACUSE, NY (2/17/2012) – King Ferry Winery owner Peter Saltonstall was at Food Bank of Central New York on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 to present a check for $4,405. The winery generated the donation directly from tasting fees, with $1 from each $3 fee going to the charity. Mr. Saltonstall, impressed by his customers' support for the idea, said "The response by the public was phenomenal. While the economy recovers it is important to remember that there are many people in great need of the basics that many of us take for granted. We hope to continue this program and have some interesting plans for our future participation that we will share with our customers soon. We have found our partnership with the Food Bank to be incredibly rewarding, and we would like to challenge the other Finger Lakes wineries to support this organization."
Kathleen Stress, Chief Operations Officer for the Food Bank, was on hand to receive the check, as was Director of Special Nutrition Projects Peter Ricardo. "This generous donation from Mr. Saltonstall and all of King Ferry Winery will help us to continue to provide food to families and individuals in need throughout the community. We are grateful to have such a community partner," stated Ms. Stress.

and State Attorneys General National Association of Attorneys General WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Attorney General Tom Miller said Monday that Iowa stands to receive over $1.7 billion in payments by the year 2025, with additional payments into the future beyond that, as a result of a proposed settlement between States and the tobacco industry. "The money is huge, but the public health measures are crucial," Miller said of the agreement, which would result in nationwide total payments over $200 billion by 2025. "The tobacco companies would agree to very important curbs on their advertising and marketing, and they would fund a $1.5 billion anti-smoking campaign. Most important, they would be prohibited from marketing to kids." Miller was one of six State Attorneys General who announced the proposed settlement at a news conference today at the National Press Club in Washington. The group then visited the White House to brief President Clinton on the agreement. "This agreement is good for taxpayers, and it is very important to help us reach our top goal -- keeping our young people from becoming addicted to tobacco products," Miller said. Miller filed a lawsuit against the tobacco industry in December 1996. There have been extensive pre-trial proceedings since then, and the trial in Iowa was likely to be scheduled sometime next year. The proposed settlement would end the lawsuit. "The settlement is a very good first step," Miller said, "but there's much more to be done. I fought hard for including crucial public health measures, but we have to keep moving forward. For example, I believe Congress needs to act to ensure full FDA regulatory authority and meaningful warnings on cigarette packages. This is the end of a chapter, not the end of the story." "I think the single most important public health aspect in this agreement is the counter-marketing measure -- creating advertising and education that actually dissuades young people from taking up tobacco products." "I also strongly back the agreement banning cartoon characters in tobacco advertising, prohibiting billboards and transit advertising, and banning the sale and distribution of apparel and other merchandise with brand-name logos," Miller said. "Tobacco leads to 420,000 deaths a year, and most of those who die or manage to quit are replaced by young people. This agreement will help us tackle that problem," Miller said. The proposed settlement will be reviewed this week by states and territories -- even those that have not filed lawsuits to date. (Four states -- Mississippi, Florida, Texas, and Minnesota -- already have settled their lawsuits.) The negotiating attorneys general and the tobacco industry have said that the agreement will take effect if a "critical mass" of states approve it. States will have this week to determine whether to approve the settlement or proceed with their individual lawsuits. Whether the settlement will take effect nationwide is expected to be known and announced on Monday, Nov. 23. (The full proposed
agreement is available at the web site of the NAAG: www.naag.org) - 30 - |

We have had Bible school every morning this week. Can you believe that children ages preschool through 5th grade can remember that verse? Anna, age 4, knew it two days ago! It took me until today to be able to say the whole thing. So, we are tired but happy. It was a good week.
Just look what was waiting for us last night! I never get tired of seeing rainbows.
Here was my assignment for the Names of Jesus quilt. It is called Balm of Gilead. Instead, I did something artsy. I took a piece of Tina Givens' Treetop Fancy Huckleberry and cut out a piece showing the butterfly really well. Then I fussycut -- a fancy way of saying cut out the piece you want -- a flower stem from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain and a flower from Riley Blakes stuff and appliqued all together. I like the result. Do you?
Here is my latest result in the Fruit of the Spirit quilt. I changed it up too. I like how changing it made a cross pop out from the middle and a pinwheel. This block is called Harmony.

The next gathering of the Ballet Cook Book Dinner Series, to be held the evening of Saturday, April 13, 2013, will showcase the recipes of Melissa Hayden, the celebrated Canadian-born ballerina who danced for both New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. While at NYCB, Hayden — "one of American ballet's greatest ballerinas, whose exultant, dramatic style defied the supposed impersonal mold of the Balanchine dancer," according to The New York Times — created roles in in a number of classics such as Stars and Stripes (1958), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1964), and Cortège Hongrois (1973).
Hayden's recipes in The Ballet Cook Book reflect her Eastern European Jewish heritage (spinach borsch, gefilte fish, sweet-and-sour meat balls, kreplach, and potato latkas). We are honored (and frankly a bit nervous) to have someone quite familiar with these recipes among our guests: Hayden's son, Stuart Coleman, who is also on NYCB's Advisory Board and the School of American Ballet's Board of Directors.
Interest in the dinner is already high, but if you would like to attend, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will add you to the waiting list.

1. It is satisfactory to note change in attitude to the proposal we originally made for early British Commonwealth talks on the Japanese Settlement. Nevertheless, essence of matter is speed. It is essential that talks should be held as soon as possible. Late August is too late and United States will meanwhile take some steps which will result in initiative being taken away from us.
For one thing, I shall be required to attend Assembly in September and for this reason also the aim should be to have talks in Australia in July at latest. If Addison or McNeil could come then it would be satisfactory as I am sure Fraser could come over from New Zealand.
2. But even that delay has its dangers and, if conference on Ministerial level earlier than August is not possible, it may be better to decide now on immediate conference in Australia at official level over which I could preside. There would be no final decisions but we could bring back Ball from Tokyo and United Kingdom officials could attend.
3. F.E.C. is wholly unacceptable to us as a peace-making body.
(Please see my telegram repeated to you No 186 giving general instruction to our representative on F.E.C. and quoting United States Note affirming this point of view.) Moreover, we must at this stage object to any idea of even a preliminary conference (your paragraph 7 of 183) connected with F.E.C. membership. A preliminary conference is in any case not necessary and we would suggest peace conference in several sessions, first of which would be by nature preliminary.
4. We must guard against attempt by the United Kingdom Government to monopolise the initiative in relation to this matter at Washington because in truth it is Australia particularly which has always had to bear the burden of these moves.
5. The occasion is one for plain speaking with a view to a fresh recognition in London of Australian responsibilities in this area in accordance with precedent established in relation to the Advisory Council at Tokyo. The United Kingdom, which cannot have a primary interest everywhere, should actively support Australian leadership in relation to Commonwealth interests in the Pacific.
6. In this connection you will have noticed instance after instance of United Kingdom Government decisions or commitments in relation to this area taken without consulting with, and sometimes without even informing, us. For example, the withdrawal from India, Burma and threatened withdrawal from Ceylon and perhaps even Malaya, without any adequate defence arrangements and without any arrangements to which we are a party, seems to follow the pattern which, as you know yourself, left Australia and New Zealand during the war with our overseas forces temporarily cut off, while United States had committed itself to the Beat Hitler First strategy. (See telegram 129 from Chifley to Attlee in reply to advice that Dominion status for India is being considered.) [1]
7. So, too, in relation to reparations against Japan, we now find United Kingdom seeking to receive third largest share, placing us fourth along with Philippines and India. This was an opportunity to demonstrate a recognition by United Kingdom Government of Australia's position not only in war effort in Pacific but also in representing British Commonwealth interests in this area.
8. There are other matters on which our advice should have been sought and adopted, for example, question of Japanese representation at international conferences (see D.464 and our reply 127). [2] 9. While United Kingdom Government has informed us that steps are being taken to ratify South Pacific Commission, there has been no attempt to hasten final acceptance. While I desire you to take this matter up separately, it is relevant to above matters as it is a further demonstration of hesitation in supporting Australia in this area.
10. The above should be a sufficient guide to you in presenting our case in relation to Japanese settlement in particular, but in relation also to the general question of Australia's part in representing British Commonwealth interests in this area.
11. I have spoke to Prime Minister regarding Addison's proposed visit. Addison would be welcomed but we feel he could only be invited now in connection with the matter in relation to which he was originally invited-that is, talks on Japanese Settlement-on which no doubt, he would have Foreign Office colleagues.
12. I am arranging to send you Heydon [3] as soon as possible and am confident that we can make greater progress under newer arrangement. You can help too by keeping United Kingdom and Australian press informed because English press is often unacquainted with Pacific and Asian problems and Australia's vital connection therewith.

With the breakthrough release of 2011's *Fela Soul*, Amerigo Gazaway's sophomore effort was declared "a virtual web hit" (MTV) seemingly overnight. As the creator of one of the year's most buzz-worthy independent releases, the 26 year-old Nashville native successfully showcased his unique ability to blend multiple genres into a singular dance floor groove. The son of renowned Jazz trumpeter, Gary "El Buho" Gazaway, the producer's culturally diverse upbringing is reflected in his nuanced, multilayered instrumental arrangements. With a process the LA Times describes as "drawing a different design within a similar framework", Gazaway's cleverly executed remix/mashup projects gives audiences a familiar, yet fresh and distinct way to experience their favorite songs.
The producer's first full-length instrumental album, Selective Hearing Vol. 1, was released in 2010 on the Cold Busted label founded by veteran dance DJ, Vitamin D. Charting on Beatport's top selling Chill-Out sales chart, the album introduced listeners to Gazaway's tasteful use of samples and unique knack for combining diverse sounds into something completely new and original.
While studying Digital Media at MTSU, Gazaway and fellow producer Wally Clark co-hosted the popular "Gummy Soul Show" on the now defunct Nashville radio station WRVU. The program, which featured rare 60's and 70's soul eventually morphed into a boutique record label operated by Gazaway and co-owned by the two former radio hosts prior to Gazaway's departure.
In 2011, Gazaway gave Roots' drummer, Questlove, a copy of his recently completed Fela Kuti/De La Soul mashup fusion, Fela Soul after a DJ set in Gazaway's hometown of Nashville. Thompson would later call the album "brilliant" and publish it to his website, Okayplayer. Quickly spreading to other outlets, the album made MTV (Hive), The Source and BoingBoing before taking top 5 rankings on both NPR and Soul Train's year-end "Best of 2011" list.
On the one year anniversary of his Fela Soul release, Amerigo found success a second time with the now unavailable Bizarre Tribe; A Quest To The Pharcyde. In merging Pharcyde vocals over re-orchestrated A Tribe called Quest samples into an album Vulture.com calls "a trip worth taking", the album was downloaded over 30,000 times in its first two weeks of release.

Power Conditioning Products: Panamax's In-Wall Powerkit-Pro, Power-Pro, and Dual Signal Bay
Panamax recently added three products to its MAX In-Wall series ? the In-Wall Powerkit-Pro, Power-Pro, and Dual Signal Bay.
Panamax recently added three products to its MAX In-Wall series — the In-Wall Powerkit-Pro, Power-Pro, and Dual Signal Bay. The Powerkit-Pro provides a noise-free, code-compliant extension of the company's filtration and protection to remotely located devices, such as plasma displays, LCDs, and projectors. The unit also accommodates optional signal line modules with additional EMI/RFI noise filtration built into the outlet receptacles. Where it is not practical to run an AC line from the rack to the remote display location, the company says the Power-Pro uses any branch circuit to deliver safe power to the remote display. The 15-amp Power-Pro offers two AC outlets with Level 1 EMI/RFI noise filtration, and thermal fusing, overvoltage protection, and catastrophic surge circuitry protect sensitive home theater components from damaging power surges and voltage transients. The Dual Signal Bay connects signal lines from the source device to the display device when running cables within walls. It accommodates two blank module inserts with pass-through plugs or two In-Wall signal protection modules and fits into many two-gang outlet brackets. The unit features a full metal housing and enlarged faceplate to accommodate oversize wall cutouts and a 14-AWG solid-wire connection for bonding/grounding to In-Wall AC units. Price: Powerkit-Pro, $299.95; Power-Pro, $99.95; Dual Signal Bay, $29.95. For more information, contact Panamax at 800-472-5555 or at www.panamax.com.

American Psycho Gets the Andrew Lloyd Webber Treatment
Because today hasn't included enough news about confusing musicals, here's another one for ya: Brett Easton Ellis' most famously depraved novel, American Psycho, is heading to the stage. The book and subsequent film prominently feature monologues about 80s Reagan-era bands, which will play a large part in the musical production's development.
Though taking a gamble on theater right now (which are not doing as badly as other economic ventures right now but still) producers Craig Roessler and Johnson-Roessler have high hopes that a satirical look at murder on Wall Street will strike a gallows-humor chord with the ex-Lehman brother crowd.
Below, one scene from the film version of AP that will definitely be a highlight of the dance numbers:
This might not be the worst idea in the world; after all, the world between theater and film is often malleable, as the mediums tend to absorb and reflect off each other. Thus, the success of David Mamet in both fields, and the Disney-fying (for better or for worse) of Broadway. Then again, the production will be hard-pressed to find an actor that can match Christian Bale's maniac energy and awesome singing voice.
There are no comments yet. Post yours!

My First MOD! MGP Caliper Covers
3 Attachment(s)
I highly recommend the MGP Caliper Covers, good quality and they fit very well on the Front Calipers for my '09 650i. The back calipers take a little work to get them straight. I don't think it is the cover it is just the way the caliper is made. But them make a bold difference. The Red with the BMW letters in black cost me $270. A good deal compared to changing or painting the calipers.

Looks great.
Talk about a rare color on the car too. I don't think I've seen a red 6er coupe. Is that Imola Red? |

Scholarships for Future Psychiatrists
Free Money to Offset the Years of Necessary Study
The field of Psychiatry is always expanding. As we learn new attributes of the human mind and different methods to treat mental illnesses, more and more professionals are needed. To attract more students to this field there are many institutions that provide generous scholarships and grants. Most commonly, organizations offer various research grants to allow students to gain hands-on learning.
Psychiatry students can find scholarships for almost any specialization such as addiction psychiatry. Simply looking at colleges' websites is a great way to find different scholarship opportunities. Here are a few scholarships and grants to get you started.
General Scholarship Programs
Rock Sleyster Memorial Scholarship
Offered through the American Medical Association, the Rock Sleyster Memorial Scholarship is given to students entering their senior year in medical school. This competitive award is given to students who have a focus on psychiatry. This award is presented to students based on both academic excellence and financial need. Up to $2,500 can be awarded.
School Specific Scholarships
University of Florida
The University of Florida offers its students a variety of scholarships. Those in the field of medicine are no different. The Haufler Psychiatry Fund is an endowment given to fourth-year medical students who have demonstrated remarkable achievement in the classroom. The student who is planning on a career in psychiatry with the highest GPA will be the recipient of this fund.
The University of Florida also offers the Professional Fellowship. This award goes to women of color who are entering their third or fourth-year of medical school. The awarded amount ranges from $5,000 to $12,000. The deadline to apply for this scholarship is early in January each year.
University of Kansas-Wichita
The University o f Kansas' School of Medicine takes a unique approach to scholarships. The Dr. Ronald L. Martin Scholarship advances the field of psychiatry by providing financial support to a third-year medical student. But instead of awarding one, standard scholarship, they offer three different ways for students to receive funding.
The first annual award goes to the student who can write the best paper on any topic in the field of psychiatry. The paper should be written as if it were being entered into an esteemed medical journal. Next, the Ron Martin Scholarship offers an award for students who have demonstrated outstanding academic prowess in psychiatry. Students must prepare a written summary of their studies and how these studies have put them in a position to excel in their medical career. The final way in which students can get scholarship funding is by outperforming other students in the field of psychiatric medicine during their clerkship.
The amount of funding that each of these scholarships provide varies each year.
Joseph Collins Foundation
The Joseph Collins Foundation Scholarship is only given to well-rounded medical students. This $10,000 award requires students to be in the upper half of their class, specialize in psychiatry or neurology, and participate on a regular basis in some form of the arts- literature, music, painting, sculpture, or drama. There are many medical schools that offer the Joseph Collins Foundation Scholarship, including the University of Chicago and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Psychiatric Nursing Scholarships
American Psychiatric Nurses Association
The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) is dedicated to advancing the field of psychiatry. This advancement includes providing scholarships and grants to students so they can dedicate more of themselves to this study. APNA sponsors multiple research grants each year to those who are starting their research careers in psychiatric-mental health nursing. Five of these grants are awarded each year for up to $5,000.

NIK THAKKAR by JOSEPH SINCLAIR
Just in time for tonight's postings, Nik Thakkar shared with me this absolutely beautiful & striking series of photos from his recent session with photographer Joseph Sinclair. Thanks Nik and continued success to you!
DARRELL HOLLOMAN by THOMAS SYNNAMON
"Hot out of the darkroom" are these two new incredible shots of the breathtaking Darrell Holloman from yesterday's photo session with that amazing artist Mr. Thomas Synnamon. Hopefully I'll have more shots to share with you very, very soon but these were just too good to hold off posting. Enjoy!
Unquestionably one of the hottest "birthday boys" is my Philadelphia-based "neighbor" Luis Perrusquia who is celebrating a birthday today. Our treat is these four additional shots of the incredible Luis captured by photographer Sean Gomes.
Luis, here's hoping you're having an awesome birthday and that your year ahead brings all great things -- good health, great success and much, much happiness. Cheers!
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Another "regular" on ManWatch is the absolutely beautiful Marcelino who shared with me earlier this incredible new photo of him which was shot by Kurt R. Brown. Marcelino said the body painting took hours (done by David Gilmore) and all I can say is, I want to order one (ONLY if he's like the original). Congratulations guys on an amazing shot and concept!
Marcelino's talent also has branched out to writing and he is in the process of bringing out his first book. As soon as I have more details on that, I'll pass it on to you all. Let's just hope we can keep this oh-so-sexy guy in front of the cameras as well!
I've featured Eddy Barrena several times out here on the blog and he definitely always turns up the heat. In addition to being an accomplished model and dancer, he is also a talented singer and has just released his first single STATE OF GRACE. The song is co-written by Eddy along with Brandon Pope who also produced. Eddy tells me that the official video (to be directed by Francis Legge) is in the making so I'll definitely keep you posted about that.
Eddy says that because of his love for music and extensive dancing background, STATE OF GRACE came about with the music taking over of your body and soul in an almost religious like experience (hence the title STATE OF GRACE).
If you'd like to download STATE OF GRACE from iTunes (and I can't imagine why you wouldn't -- I've heard the song and Eddy is AWESOME), please click here. STATE OF GRACE is also available via Amazon by clicking here.
And if that all wasn't enough, Eddy enlisted the amazing Thomas Synnamon for the cover and back cover photography.
Congratulations Eddy -- wishing you all the best!
PABLO HERNANDEZ by THOMAS SYNNAMON
Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Pablo Hernandez as captured here by the incredible and incomparable Mr. Thomas Synnamon.
PETE KORPICS by SEAN GOMES
Photographer Sean Gomes showcases his gifted talent with yet another incredible man -- enjoy Sean's work & the beauty of Pete Korpics.

I have an older Panasonic phone. there is a burnt wire on the line cord. It shut off all the phones in the house. I found that the handset was warm, then I found the burnt wire. I bought a new battery, and a new cord. the people at the store told me it wasn't safe to use the phone anymore as it could blow up and cause a fire. Is this true, or do they just want to sell me a new phone?I e-mailed Panasonic, but they don't answer. I love this phone plus it has my answering machine on it. Anybody know about this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Replies are only as useful as facts first provided. For example, you mention a line cord. Is that an AC power cord? Phone line? Headset? If the phone is shorting telephone lines, than the phone is defective. Unreported is what that phone is doing. Reported is that other phones do not work. Do not work when an incoming call should cause a ring? Terminates a dialtone after 20 seconds even when on hook? Eliminates the dialtone immediately? Anyone can say the phone is probably defective. Nobody (and be honest) can say anything more. But then what are you trying to do? Fix a $10 phone? Or determine if the phone is good enough to create arson? |

Thanks a lot for nothing |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Fri, Jan 17, 14 at 15:43
That was not nothing, with all due respect it was a series of questions soliciting more information about your problem. Many are the same ones I would have asked to get sufficient info to diagnose the problem. It does sound like the phone may have a problem not related to the battery, but it's hard to be sure. |
The OP's post of thanks for nothing is extremely rude. You don't give enough info, someone willing to help asks for details … and you respond rudely? Wow. |

I thought it is battery issue. |
"Thanks a lot for nothing" Real Class - maybe just a Senior Moment of self entitlement. lol |

Morning all. Apologies for the shortage of updates so far - I've been shamelessly caught up in the Metro's jolly spiffing interview with Dontnod Entertainment's creative director Jean-Maxime Moris, one of the minds behind new Capcom IP Remember Me.
Remember Me, in case you'd forgotten (arf arf), is a cyberpunk action-adventure set in a world where memories can be uploaded to servers and messed around with. The star is Nilin, a woman armed with devices that allow her to change your very identity, who finds herself on the run from former employer Memoreyes.
Nilin's a well-built lass, capable of kicking many an interfering enforcer upside the head-plate, but she's not your classic videogame do-gooder, all shiny white teeth and sky-high bodycount. In fact, the unfortunate chap in the demo below is the only character who'll ever die at her hands. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Nathan Drake.
"It won't be just that very nice world-saving person," Moris told the site. "And she won't be that mass murdering.... the only person she kills in the game is that guy in the demo. There is no killing, I wanted to stay away from the generic violence that is flowing into most of today's video games. There will be shades of grey and we really want to ask moral questions about her, about how she acts."
Dontnod has gone so far as to remove firearms from the equation. "Guns have been forbidden in Neo-Paris. The only people that are allowed to carry them are senior officials, for official ceremonies, which is why there is one in the [demo] memory remix."
In hand-to-hand combat, Nilin has a nifty KO move which brain-wipes whoever she's fighting. "She basically overloads their memories and pieces of themselves come flying out of the memory. They're just there lying on the ground, they'll get up eventually - they may have forgotten they are married but they'll get up eventually. She's a memory hunter and she goes into people's minds using what we call a hunting glove."
Naturally, the whole digital memories gig is a calculated snipe at real-life data collection and sharing. "We're also asking questions about social networks, how they will evolve in the future, what do we do with them today. And in the game it's not just 'they are the bad corporation' and you go kick their ass.
"No, we're going to ask questions about, 'Is technology just good for you or is it what you make it? Should we all blindly just upload ourselves onto the Internet?' This is just material for the gamer to think about. I'm not actually there to tell them, 'This is the way it is.' Not at all. But I find it fascinating to build immersive worlds where you can bring that to characters and let them interact with it."
Nilin's "spammer" seems to work in a manner comparable to Dr Who's Sonic Screwdriver - that is, point it stuff dramatically and there should be a positive outcome. "The spammer basically aggregates the ambient data that is flying around the world, because people are all connected, it gathers that and she is able to shoot that at people. So they get stunned and she can then take advantage of that. She can use it to open doors, to tap into systems and to force real elements as well. And there will be other uses for it as well, that we haven't talked about yet."
Moris wants to avoid certain cyberpunk clichés, though he's less bothered about gender stereotypes. "There is no gameplay of going into a computer system and hacking into it. She basically hacks into people's memories but basically I didn't want to use the word hack. Because the whole point of this game is making a cyberpunk game about memories and human identity.
"Whereas most cyberpunk games are about physical applications and weapon applications, and those games are with male protagonists and we wanted to have something more intimate and we also wanted to have a female protagonist. But there are elements of technology, but they just serve a different purpose."
An encouraging note to walk us out on: Nilin is inspired by Jade from Michael Ancel's Beyond Good and Evil. Are you looking forward to this?

Been a while since I've been, but the penjing garden was nice. This looks like the whole enchilada, though... |
I loved the Penjing gardern (more than the penjing!) But when I went back to look at it a month ago, it was closed for renovations until next Spring. That new garden sounds wonderful. |

"I feel that Bolger acted unethically when he and former Rep. Roy Schmidt colluded to swindle voters in the November election. Bolger is still under a grand jury investigation for his actions. If we cannot trust him to always act honestly, how can we possibly trust him to lead the stateforward?" ~ Dian Slavens (D-Canton) explaining her vote against Jase Bolger as Speaker
Although Rep Slavens could not vote for Jase Bolger, Winnie Brinks could:
"I put a lot of thought into that," Brinks said. "It's really a signal … that I want to move forward and work in a bipartisan way."
In a statement on her vote for Bolger, Brinks took a shot at Schmidt, calling him a "career politician who cared more about his self-interest that about what's best for families in West Michigan."
Speaking to MLive, Brinks conceded some constituents might view her vote as odd, given the scandal.
"I'm about looking forward," Brinks said. "I didn't want to be looking back, fighting battles that I think were addressed back at the election."
Overall, it looks like the Democrats offered up an 'olive branch'
"It was a very difficult last term – particularly the lame duck portion of that term,"Greimel told media after the House ceremony. "And we have been very concerned about the extreme agenda that the Republicans have pushed. It's clearly the most extreme agenda in the state's history.
"But we also recognize that we have an opportunity here with a new term to show our respect for the institution and for the history of this institution by abiding by longstanding practice," Greimel said. "And hopefully by extending this olive branch of symbolic bipartisanship, we can find opportunities and occasions when the two parties can find common ground. And that's what the people of this state deserve – for the parties to do everything we can to find common ground to move this state forward and find solutions to the very real challenges we're all facing."
This is not inconsistent with what Tim Greimel said just last week, in an interview with Gongwer:
But Mr. Greimel (D-Auburn Hills) said how much Democrats participate in the development of legislation is up to House Speaker Jase Bolger (R-Marshall) and the House GOP.
"The door is always open to bipartisan cooperation," Mr. Greimel said in an interview with Gongwer News Service. "But the ball is in the speaker's court. They have not, to date, been interested in bipartisanship."
"I have always been willing to go toe-to-toe with Republicans when standing up for what is right. But I've also always been willing to reach across the aisle when doing so makes sense for the residents of our state. "
Let's talk about what this means over the fold.
In that interview with Gongwer, Greimel makes it clear that the previous legislature is the most extreme in the history of Michigan. I suggest to you, dear reader, that it may also be the legislature that has been most willing to operate outside the law. They do this by ignoring the House rules (immediate effect, calling Michigan State Police on to the floor, etc.) to violating election law (#bolgerschmidtfraud) to passing ALEC laws that are contradicted by our own Constitution and existing law.
Greimel also stated, "We are not just here to play defense. We have a vision for the state of Michigan."
What a difference between the Democratic minority in Lansing and the Republican minority in Washington. The first thing that the Republicans in Washington did was to promise to make President Obama an ineffective one term President. They've been able to stall job creation and mess with our credit rating, but they weren't able to defeat the person who Americans feel "cares about people like me." The first thing our Democrats did was say, we're willing to work together for the good of the people you keep screwing over.
While that doesn't feel good, we have important work to do in making sure people understand that we're willing to play the game, put forward a positive vision, and work together where we can. That's the best strategy to get Michiganders to hear our message. But on the other hand, here's hoping that someone teaches Jase Bolger and the Republicans that you can't keep violating people and then asking for bipartisanship and nicey-nice.
By the way, if this is how the GOP acted in lame duck when they lost nationally, what do you think the Lansing lame ducklings will do when they lose statewide?
GM vs HP. So the IT talent fight is on and HP got stung:
HP is seeking to depose a pair of former executives after 18 employees "resigned en masse and without notice" and went to work "immediately" at GM, according to a petition filed in state court in Travis County, Texas. "The company feels compelled to investigate the potential claims it may have," Hewlett-Packard said in the filing.
GM had already agreed to absorb 3,000 HP employees who were assigned to GM work.
This should be interesting to follow, in part because of the types of non-competes and non-disclosures that may have been signed and how well those hold up in court. I was quite restrained by my company when I wanted to leave due to the NCA that I signed, even though I was leaving due to, let's say, bad behavior by other people. I'd like to know what exactly does get enforced. There are no details on any agreements like that in this article.
It's ok to laugh out loud on that one.
State House trading laptops for iPads It makes good economic and technological sense. I only add it here because 1. I'm pleased with it and 2. It was approved by Jase Bolger, and you know that if some school wanted to do this, he'd blow a nut.
And finally, don't forget to pick up your very own Rick Dictator shirt. Made in the USA. Design protected by God and parody law. Buy one. Bye two. Buy a third for Ari Adler!
Census Daily Friday, January 11th. This date in 1973 was a day that lives in infamy, at least among some self-described baseball purists. The American League approved a three-year experiment with replacing pitchers in the batting order with a designated hitter. The rule change stuck and is the most visible distinction between the two major leagues. The first DH to come to the plate was the New York Yankees', Ron Blomberg on April 6, 1973. The result of this epochal at-bat? He walked. With the Houston Astros moving to the American League this year, there will be up to 15 designated hitter jobs in the U.S., a tiny, one-in-10-million specialty, among the more than 155 million people 16 and older in the labor force.
I've got one, and IT'S AWESOME! |

Breakfast Topic: Would you list WoW leadership on your real-life resume?
I've been to a few resumé workshops in my time, and as a professional writing tutor, I've sometimes been the one helping people with their resumés or CVs. Beyond the listings of education and job history, the section that seems most relevant to employers is that of job skills. Most of us have a number of special skills and talents gleaned from experiences outside of our day jobs, whether in church, volunteer work, coaching a local sports team -- or in my case, in Azeroth.
I run a guild in World of Warcraft, and like every leader in every type of community, be it virtual or actual, I've realized that it takes a lot of skill, attention, and balance to do it right. I have to coordinate events, scout and recruit new members, evaluate the performance of current members both individually and as a team, keep the lines of communication open, and treat everyone diplomatically and with respect. These skills, honed in the virtual world, are extremely relevant to many real-world jobs. The question is, how do I list them on my resume? Should I? Would potential employers be scared away by the knowledge that a job candidate plays World of Warcraft?

Help us plan our Paris trip food-wise Au Pied du Cochon in montreal is unrelated and serves very different food to the APC in paris. APC in paris is just a brasserie. I read there is a Schwartz deli in paris but it too is unrelated to the schwartz in montreal. The paris version does sell pastrami sandwiches but not smoked meat sandiwches. |
we will be going to paris with a 3 yr old. I am wondering if some/any bistros will have high chairs/booster seats? is it very uncommon? Also wondering about strollers? ours is umbrella one that folds up.. do people bring them in? leave outside? |
i went to a wedding at the granite club about 6 yrs ago. it was pretty nice. I can't compare to a ritz or four seasons wedding though, since ive never been. Ours was at the park hyatt and it was fantastic. Id say it was better than the granite but I may be biased. My friend who had her wedding there was not a member nor did she ever become one so I don't think its a requirement. Don't you have to be referred/sponsored to become a member? |
im usually in ott 4 days/wk for work and so i've been to most of the restos listed but i dont see my current favourite. Fraser Cafe (especially Table 40 on mondays). As for the other choices, lately im a frequently at Union 613. if you got wheels theres some great restos on the QC side, fougere, wakefield inn. |
Tacos at Sidedoor during happy hour. The chef is on this season's top chef canda. Its 9$ during reg hours, 6$ during hh. I dont think they're worth 9$. Think gourmet tacos like what you see on Eat St. Smoqueshack in the market for southern bbq. Better than fatboys which also just opened in the mkt. Whalesbone for oysters on bank. But if you got wheels, id go to the quebec side. I really like the resto at the wakefield inn and the lac leamy hilton, or fougere but not cheap. I also like the burgers at chez lucien in the mkt. 10$ for a burger and side. |
Good quality cast iron frying pan Last week canadian tire had kitchen aid ones for 19$ (10") and 29$ (12"). I picked one up awhile ago at that pirce and its great. Cast iron puts a nice crust on meats that non stick just cant. it can also go easily from stove top to oven broil (my non stick has a max of 400 degrees). Make sure you season after use (and it'll become non stick over time like a wok) and dont leave it soaking in water, as it'll start to corrode (says my wife) |

Steak frites was great and on the prix fixe. The duck confit was disappointing. |
Fun, upscale restaurant in Ottawa for a celebratory dinner Sorry i thought you meant milagros in toronto not ott |
Fun, upscale restaurant in Ottawa for a celebratory dinner Empire, blue catus, stella are all very similar. nice senery, ok food. Heres my suggestions ----- |

Wedding venue input - Canoe/Park Hyatt/RCM Good luck. Looks like the website has changed a bit but i did find this.. http://performance.rcmusic.ca/venues-... For more information and to book your event, contact Kristin Campbell at email@example.com or at 416.408.2824 x591. Performers, dates, and other details are subject to change. |
Wedding venue input - Canoe/Park Hyatt/RCM Hi Here's what i know about the other choices: RCM - i really liked the space and i had seen photos of another wedding there so i knew they did wedding but unfornately i could not get anyone there to return my calls or answer my questions. I got married nov 2010. All I could get is a pdf that i downloaded from their website. My question to you is: how much work/customization do you want? If you pick canoe or ph or any other resto/hotel, then you pick your menu. You can upgrade the linens, etc if you want but tables/chairs are what you'd normally get during regular dinner service. If you pick rcm then you have to pick your tables, chairs, forks, plates, knives, linens and everything else. |
I believe a restaurant is cheaper than renting a venue. When i looked into having it at a venue (TBG and Gardiner Museum) and doing catering. I thought it was affordable based on the food prices+room rental. But i didn't realize that it didn't include chairs, tables, cutlery, nor did it include server fees, after hours security, etc.. By the time we added it all up, it cost more than having it at restaurant. We ended up at the Park Hyatt, which may fit your billing for 1920s since it is very Art Deco. They had packages but we ended up picking our menu which was cheaper. We only paid the food prices + tax + tip. They do have a open bar package if your friends are big drinkers. We didnt have to worry about heritage/landmark fees, room rentals, server charges, the no# of forks on a table, linens, security, etc since it was built into the food prices. ----- |
Wedding cake recommendations? TORONTO We did a macaron tree for our wedding cake from dolci di Annie. She works out of her house but she makes some great cakes.. |
Just found out that joey's at the shops on don mills has a gluten free menu. |
Good Eats at Blue Mountain? (Collingwood) Try the alphorn.. large portions for schnitzel, bratwurst, etc.. |

Aftershocks continue following a 6.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Northern Italy Sunday shortly after 4 a.m., killing at least seven people.
Thousands of residents are now homeless, and those that aren't are afraid to return to their homes because of the aftershocks.
Emilia Romagna, regional president of Vasco Errani, said that civil protection crews were checking schools, businesses, homes, churches, and other cultural heritage sites to evaluate the exact scale of damage and rebuilding costs.
"Unfortunately, the aftershocks are continuing and this is creating concern for the citizens," Romana told the Italian news channel Sky TG24.
"This is something we have to deal with because there is a psychological aspect to this," she said. "As a result, we're speeding up the checks on the buildings."
Officials say this is the strongest quake to hit the region in hundreds of years. At least seven people are dead and priceless pieces of history were destroyed, including centuries old churches and clock towers.
The epicenter of the quake was 22 miles north of Bologna. The region is known for its Parmesan cheese. Agricultural losses are estimated at more than $200 million.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti returned early from the NATO summit in Chicago because of the quake.

naughtydogcafe; Because of the oil mixed with the chocolate, the coating stays soft enough to eat easily.
Simple, delicious, and fun to make. People will think you spent more time on it than you actually did! Didn't have cherry ice cream so used Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia and the extra chocolate was helpful! *Make sure you don't use an organic white chocolate (such as Green and Black's organic) because it won't melt right in the microwave!*
This isn't a review, so please excuse me--I just can't help but say that that is the sexiest picture of ice cream that I have ever seen. Hats off to you, Mr. Toma.
Since you've got the melted chocolate thing going on already, you might want to drip some into the bottom of the cone before putting in the ice cream - keeps it from leaking, and it's a nice surprise!
Not a review, but a question - wouldn't these be awfully hard to eat once the chocolate hardened up in the freezer? They look fabulous and delicious!

Master of Gerona Italian, Bologna, late 1275 - 1299 Tempera colors and gold leaf on parchment 22 15/16 x 15 13/16 in. MS. LUDWIG VI 6, FOL. 2
A historiated initial A with Christ in Majesty, the first and largest illumination in this antiphonal from Bologna, accompanies a chant for the pre-dawn prayer service for the first Sunday in Advent, the season of preparation for Christmas. In the chant the singer describes how he "sees the coming power of the Lord," referring to Christ's return at the end of time, when he will sit in judgment of all humanity. From the roundel at the lower left, the prophet Isaiah, whose words provided the inspiration for the text of the chant, "sees" Christ. The illuminator has depicted Jesus as a massive, authoritative figure in voluminous draperies, sitting frontally on an ivory throne and attended by a group of winged angels. The book he holds, the Book of Life mentioned in the Apocalypse in the New Testament, contains a list of the saved and the damned.

Re:Look at ninety percent of the effort towards go (459 comments)
This sounds suspiciously like an attempt to get rid of net neutrality laws. "Remove government regulation" indeed!
Exactly. Remove network neutrality, prevent any government snooping (yay!), and regulate what "the cloud" does with your data.
But, considering that this is from the party that revoked due process during Bush II, and is saying nothing about Obama's continuation of it, despite their hatred of everything he does, I am still dubious of any anti-authoritarian stance they may take. Let them end warrant-less wiretapping, demand that everyone imprisoned by the US government be given a fair trial, and end torture. Then you can tell me you care about our civil liberties.
Re:ummm....Punk Oatmeal? (218 comments)
I beg to differ.
Permission granted. You may now differ.
You saw a request and made it happen. If you worked for Google, we might be using G+ by now.
Re:Remember This In November (696 comments)
Really? That would explain why all of the "benefit" from the stimulus stopped as soon as the federal money stopped.
Many economists disagree with you on that.
Re:Remember This In November (696 comments)
The poster I responded to was blaming the bad economy on the Republicans blocking Obama's attempts to fix the economy and I asked why he did not take steps to fix it when the Dems had control of both Houses of Congress. Your defense of him is that he did and they failed, but we should hold the Republicans responsible because they did not go along with doing more of what didn't work in the first place?
Actually the stimulus package helped, but it was not enough to fix everything in two years.
Re:Remember This In November (696 comments)
Obama didn't wait two years. In 2008, Bush passed tarp. In 2009, Obama passed his own stimulus package consisting of tax cuts and infrastructure programs. By then, the GOP was crapping their pants in fear of the newly discovered national debt. So, should he have passed another stimulus in 2010? If he had, it would have been nothing more than a massive tax cut, which would have exacerbated the debt ceiling debate.

Re:Parody (402 comments)
Perhaps this could be called parody. Lots of times people take a famous logo and tweak it for a joke or comment. eg the Coke logo that says "Cocaine".

Exactly. Jack Daniels is being nice to this guy because they don't have a leg to stand on. They can either threaten to sue and hope that the legal costs intimidate the publisher into submission, or try to work with the other guy.
Re:And as ever... (1706 comments)
While we can go to great lengths to guard against some types of security threat, we are reminded once again that the greatest risk is often from somebody who decides to take something lethal to a crowded place and do his worst with it.
But that isn't the greatest risk. You're still more likely to be killed by a lifetime of movie theater popcorn, or by a car wreck on the way home. (I am staying out of the gun-control argument. This is notable because it is flashy. Had it been common, we would have either stopped going to movies, found a way to make it uncommon, or learned to accept it by now)
Re:Different types of voting systems (302 comments)
You make a convincing argument. I can agree with you in the case of non-swing states.
Re:Different types of voting systems (302 comments)
So why don't you vote for yourself every election? By your logic, the only question you should be asking yourself is "is there anybody I'd rather see in office". There is a difference between voting systems. Our current system was not designed to work well with third party candidates. Others are.
can we trust the current batch? (302 comments)
I have to say that with all the emphasis on "voter suppression" or "voter fraud prevention" this election, and the partisan BS that comes with the past few years, I don't know if I trust the current batch to change the system. We would need every provision and every aspect of the system to be monitored by at least one non-partisan non-profit third party with no political agenda.
I think we would have an easier time finding a flock of benevolent mind-readers to remotely sense the majority of public opinion while riding through town on a pack of domesticated unicorns.
Re:Different types of voting systems (302 comments)
I wish I had the mod points for you. I just wish that we had a system that didn't center around false dichotomies. One where the voter has the freedom to vote for the guy he really wants without wasting his vote.
Consistency (1134 comments)
(As an example), I am still cursing mozilla and other new web browsers for the way they are keeping their UIs in a constant state of flux. Things like moving the home icon, making the status bar something that only appears if you hover over a link for 2 seconds, and just making everything look different from what it was 2 years ago. That sucks when you have to provide tech support for idiots who don't know if they're using netscape navigator or Internet Explorer 9.
And in Linux, I have found that there are plenty of GUI tools that I never bothered to learn, specifically because the Redhat version is different from the Debian version, and possibly the newer Redhat version is different from the older Redhat version.
So, yes, keep the G-d damned command-line in every version of every operating system, because I want to spend my study time learning new things, not just learning how to do the same old things in different versions of Windows/Linux.
And, no, I'm not going to make the argument for CLI reliability (that it never mangles your settings in such a way that you have to try again), or flexibility (that it's the only decent way to do scripting). Others have done a much better job than I could, in that area.
Re:C'mon (288 comments)
would it be cheaper to simply compensate the affected people
It doesn't matter. Nobody has any intention of doing that. When a company pollutes an area, often its' biggest supporters are the people living in that area. They're just happy to have jobs. And if this ever get to disastrous levels, what are the odds that reparations will be paid to those who lost everything? What are the odds that this will be paid for by taxes/fines on the people who benefited most from causing the problem?
and secondly would it crimp the economy so badly that no future development (e.g. electric cars, new power generation sources like solar etc.) could occur because all resources would be spent in prevention* and maintenance.
Or would it make such development worthwhile? Alternate energies and new technologies have an uphill climb because they are having to fight against a well-established system with infrastructure and political clout on their side. If we had a reasonable system in place to require people to reduce emissions, then people would adopt newer technologies, the businesses that supply those technologies would grow, and they would have more money to research cheaper, more efficient production.
Also not discussed by "advocates" is the fact that the CO2 we generate is at this point probably insignificant due to the developing world, and their increased output.
That is a problem. It's hard for us to tell some third world country "now that we got ours, the rules are changing"
Re:C'mon (288 comments)
Funny, but a better analogy would be:
Scientists: A global disaster may be looming. We can stop it, but we'll need to reduce our CO2 emissions. If we start now, it may mean driving smaller cars, planting more trees, and finding small ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
Exxon: bullshit! There's no global warming.
GMC: Introducing the new GMC ShitKicker! It's 2 megatons of bad ass! Just imagine yourself driving this thing down the freeway, confederate flags flapping in the wind...That'll show those hippies.
The people: I like shiny big trucks. Can you add three DVD players and a built-in vibrator?
40 years later
Scientists: We need to reduce our CO2 emissions.
Exxon: It'll need sacrifices. Higher fuel prices. Higher cost of manufactured goods, and fewer cheap imports. You'll need to travel less, buy a smaller car. A lot of you'll be laid off because industry thrives on cheap energy. You'll have to stop eating so much meat. But it's the only way to prevent disaster...Er... Lets just do nothing and chance it.
The People: We're going to go with the second guy.
Re:Public option (2416 comments)
What ever happened to the public option? You know, cutting the profit motive out of funding health care, so that people do not have to fight with their insurance companies or with hospitals just to get the treatment they paid for?
Re:So from here on out ... (2416 comments)
I pay for my health insurance. I choose a high deductible plan.My costs are low.
Now, they will probably triple because I'll have to pay for coverage for things I don't use such as OBGYN.
So, thanks for raising my costs with no benefit to me.
How do you know? Did it ever cross your mind that more people in the pool will lower your premiums? Why don't you wait for them to actually triple before griping about it?
Why wait? even if they don't triple, I'm pretty sure the GOP will spend the next ten years blaming every rate increase, no matter the size or cause, on ObamaCare.

Re:So from here on out ... (2416 comments)
And most importantly, you also need a way to clean up the system so that any one of us can prove at any time that we can pay our bills. If I get carried into a hospital, right now, it could be a heart attack that will cost someone $50,000, or it could be something incredibly small that will cost a few hundred. Even if my bank statement says I have the money, right now, I can't prove any checks will clear. Maybe I just bought a total stranger a new Tesla roadster and the check hasn't cleared yet. If I don't have $50,000 in on-hand, then what are the odds of a banking institution approving a quickie loan initiated by a stranger, knowing that many of these loans are from people at risk of dying or losing their jobs? How much interest would such an institution have to charge to make that model profitable?
And, if I have insurance, I still don't know if I can pay my bill. I may be unconscious and unable to tell what my policy is. Or maybe I know exactly what my policy is, but they'll weasel their way out of paying, leaving me back at square one.
The medical industry hasn't been "free market" for a long time, and for good reason.

With this bookshelf and built-in seat, you'll never be at a loss for what to read. It would be a great divider in a large playroom.
The blob shape is particularly appealing in ceramics, because of clay's flexible and organic nature. Hang this planter and storage pod next to your blob chair for the ultimate lounge space.
Hunting for unique ceiling lighting is a real chore, but these fixtures make the job easy. Use them in structured spaces to add soft curves to a hard-edged area.
Beanbags are the epitome of blob culture. This furry example brings us rushing back to the 1960s and '70s, when this organic design trend started.
Keep your blob-styled spaces looking natural: Use these organic swings and other soft forms to commune with your backyard.
This is one of those things you didn't know you needed until you saw them — a pile of soft felt pebble pillows to rest your head on. Place them in front of the fireplace for instant charm.
Whether you see a rock or an egg, the ovoid form of this table is definitely blobular. Luckily, the flat surface has enough space for drinks.
Beanbags can be horribly uncomfortable, but this paneled lounger has the structure to support you without ruining the soft lines.
Here's a more futuristic take on the blob. This oversize pebble is made of neoprene. Indoors or outdoors, napping here would be much more comfortable than on those landscaped boulders in your yard.
