Mercedes-Benz has bought a prime-time slot during one of the most-watched television events on the planet — the Academy Awards ceremony — with the commercial above premiering during Sunday's Oscars telecast on ABC.
The minute-long spot touts the sixth generation SL with, appropriately, a vintage nod to the model's storied history, from the 1950's SL roadster through to the 1960's and so on to the latest iteration, the 2013 model, which passes them all on a soft-glowing sunny California day.Continue reading...

Brands are 'pinning' it on Pinterest with increasing savvy, and although the site doesn't carry advertising or sponsored content, publishers and brands are quickly getting hip to how to leverage the social thirst for sharing images to drive awareness and traffic to their own digital touchpoints.
With estimates of 18.7 million unique visitors in March, (according to comScore), "Pinterest has a message for the media: a picture is worth a thousand words," notes today's New York Times, or given Twitter's 140-character message limit, "about seven Twitter posts."
Whole Foods, West Elm, Better Homes and Gardens, Real Simple, Gilt Home, L.L.Bean, and even the National Pork Board are all early Pinterest adopters in what comScore VP Andrew Lipsman calls "the rise of the visual Web." As he comments to the Times, "Pinterest is creating sort of a meritocracy of what's visually appealing. Brands are scrambling and trying to figure it out. They know it's going to be big, but they don't necessarily know the best way to use it." Well, they're starting to figure it out.Continue reading...

BOSTON, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012, in favor of recommending that the FDA approve the prescription obesity drug Qnexa. If approved, this will be the first time in more than a decade that a prescription weight-loss medication receives FDA approval. This landmark recommendation prompted the 2012 Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) expert faculty to weigh in on the implications of the potential approval of this novel obesity medication.
"I am pleased that the FDA advisory panel has been able to see a way forward to support therapies that will help patients and clinicians confront the obesity epidemic. While pharmacotherapy is not appropriate for everyone, it is important to have options to help patients," said Richard Pratley, MD, professor of medicine and director of the Diabetes and Metabolism Translational Medicine Unit at the University of Vermont College of Medicine in Burlington, VT.
Robert H. Eckel, MD, co-chair of the 2012 CMHC and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, said, "I think the decision was a good one and is important for the academic and medical educational missions related to obesity and cardiovascular disease."
"It is a very interesting development and a bit surprising," said Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, Chief of Cardiology, VA Boston Healthcare System, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and senior investigator, TIMI Study Group. He added, "I still think that a large study evaluating cardiovascular safety is needed."
The Chief Scientific Officer for the Association of Black Cardiologists and professor of clinical medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine, Keith C. Ferdinand, MD, cautioned that, "The fight against obesity needs to be multifactorial, including new medications. As a cardiologist, however, I consider it paramount that all c

National League Preview from The Sports Network Saturday, May 10th (All times Eastern) San Francisco Giants (23-13) at Los Angeles Dodgers (19-18), 4:10 p.m. Probable Starting Pitchers: San Francisco - Matt Cain (0-3, 4.35) Los Angeles - Zack Greinke (5-1, 2.35) (SportsNetwork.com) - Needless to say, the San Francisco Giants may have somebody else prepare a pregame meal for Matt Cain on Saturday. The right-hander is set to return from a freak injury suffered over two weeks ago as the Giants resume a four-game series with the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers. Cain was forced to miss his last two scheduled starts after suffering a cut to his right index finger before an outing on April 29. He sustained the injury on a kitchen knife while making a sandwich and was a late scratch, eventually landing on the disabled list and missing another start. "I'd say he is (ready to return). Barring any setbacks, he's good to go on Saturday," noted Giants manager Bruce Bochy on his club's website. The 29-year-old Cain is still looking for his first victory of the season, having gone 0-3 with a 4.35 earned run average thus far, and hasn't pitched since giving up seven runs over six innings of a no-decision at Colorado on April 23. Cain is 5-11 lifetime versus the Dodgers with a 3.58 ERA in 29 meetings, including a loss on April 6 in which he allowed five runs over six innings. Cain struggled with the longball, giving up a pair of homers to Matt Kemp and another to Hanley Ramirez. Zack Greinke opposed Cain in that meeting in Los Angeles and got the win, scattering two runs over six innings while striking out eight. He moved to 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in three career encounters with the Giants and faces them again today looking to rebound from his first loss of 2014. Greinke brought a 5-0 mark into a meeting with Washington on Monday and allowed two runs over three innings before the game was delayed for 3 hours and 17 minutes due to rain. The righty did not return when the game resumed and ended up taking a 4-0 loss. "I started to make adjustments, started to feel better as the game went on and then it started raining," Greinke said. The 30-year-old saw his ERA lift to 2.35 on the season. Greinke will look to get the Dodgers into the win column in this series after last night's 3-1 setback pushed Los Angeles' losing streak to three straight. The Dodgers have lost six of their last eight overall and managed just a solo homer from Yasiel Puig in the loss. Puig extended his hitting streak to nine straight games (.405) with a homer that irked Giants starter Madison Bumgarner, perhaps because of a flip of the bat by Puig after the bomb. Bumgarner, though, got the last laugh with eight solid innings in which he fanned eight and walked just one to give the Giants a 12-3 mark of their last 15 games. "We haven't been able to do a lot with Bumgarner," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "We haven't done a whole lot with anybody lately." The Giants' Brandon Crawford backed his starter with a two-run homer, but the victory was left a little sour due to an injury sustained by first baseman Brandon Belt when he was hit by a pitch in the second inning. Belt suffered a broken left thumb, an ailment that could keep him out for about six weeks. He is hitting .264 on the season with a club-high nine homers along with 18 RBI. "It's a tough thing to go through," Bumgarner said of Belt. "Hopefully we can fight through it until he is back." The Dodgers were again without infielder Juan Uribe, who is day-to-day with a right hamstring strain that forced him out of a game late on Thursday. He could head to the disabled list if things don't improve. The Giants have played well this season against Los Angeles, going 6-2, and are 11-3 in the past 14 matchups between the division foes. 05/10 10:29:51 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Is it difficult to market a city as a convention destination? The case of Thessaloniki
Priporas, Constantinos-Vasilios (2005) Is it difficult to market a city as a convention destination? The case of Thessaloniki. Journal of Convention & Event Tourism, 7 (2). pp. 87-99. ISSN 1547-0148

Convention tourism is a very lucrative form of tourism and is becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in the tourism industry. Greece, a traditional tourist destination worldwide, has not developed its convention sector satisfactorily. This paper presents the outcome of a small scale qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews with six experts of organizing meetings and conventions, which were undertaken in order to explore the potential of Thessaloniki as a convention destination by assessing its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results revealed that Thessaloniki has a potential to develop this special form of tourism and ameliorate the low tourist inflow. However, it is a difficult task, mainly due to the lack of cooperation among the city's stakeholders.

Los Angeles Times
An important new book...Paul Amato and Alan Booth painstakingly analyze data from a large national sample of families, seeking especially to isolate the independent effects of divorce on children from the effects of preexisting marital conflict. The results call into question the rationalizations of our high divorce rate...Amato and Booth estimate that at most a third of divorces involving children are so distressed that the children are likely to benefit. The remainder, about 70%, involve low-conflict marriages that apparently harm children much less than do the realities of divorce...This remarkably countercultural conclusion will provoke many predictable reminders about toxic marriages and many repetitions of the familiar bromide that marital unhappiness, not 'divorce per se' is the real problem. But because of this book, we also will have a more informed discussion of the moral dimensions of the decision to divorce. Amato and Booth have helped us to recognize more clearly the potential conflicts between parental responsibility and adult desires for freedom, romance, sexual gratification and self-actualization.— Norval D.

I've moved from KY to NM, and I can't seem to find info on when to plant gourds here--I want them in the ground as soon as possible. Can anyone give me input on this?
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In zone 7 your last frost date will be around May 15th but your going to want the soil temperature to be above 60 degrees Fahrenheit ideally between 70 - 95 degrees if you lay down black plastic this would speed the process of warming the soil. What I like to do is go backwards using the days to maturity on the seed packets which are normally 90 - 120 days. Your first day of frost seems to be end of September to middle of October depending where you are. To sum it up, end of May beginning of June is when you should plant. |
Thanks for the input...seems awfully late to me though (by the end of May it's like 90 degrees even in the north!) I got other advice putting the planting date between April 15 and May 15, and since we've had such an amazingly warm winter, we have no clue when it will (or IF it will) even get really cold...I think we are going to go with a staggered schedule...plant some April 15 and each couple of weeks thereafter, just to find out which time frame works best--there are plenty of seeds from the last crop in KY! :) What do you guys think--anyone tried this? |
- Posted by gourd_friends z5/6 IL (My Page) on Fri, Feb 10, 06 at 18:17
We have staggered plantings as a means of finding the best time to plant, and have lost some of the early seeds in doing that. However, the later plantings have usually done better for us. Keep in mind, we are in the zone 5b/6a grey area. AND, my husband has dreams that every seed will come up and produce at least a dozen wonderful gourds............ So, I would advise you to check with your area Master Gardeners, or the local county Extension Service for best planting times. And then again, do your own testing. You have your own seed and you won't be out much, right? You won't know if you don't try! Jan |

Why hire talented people and not fully utilize them?
Can we fully utilize the people we hire if we're not listening to them?
Listening is an important leadership responsibility that rarely appears in the job description. Yet the higher up the corporate ladder, the more critical listening becomes.
In fact, executives are reported to spend as much as 80% of their day listening. Those who listen well to their employees are in a much better position to lead an increasingly diverse workforce, in an increasingly changing marketplace.
Listening skills underlie most leadership functions: developing teams, making informed decisions, problem-solving, and meeting customers' needs.
As a leader, you want to know what your team is thinking, what's got them stumped, and how they're adapting (or not) to challenges.
That requires asking open-ended questions such as, "What is your biggest challenge currently?" Or, "Can you think of two ways we could improve X?" Or, "How can I best support you as we complete this project?"
The best leaders are both proactive and strategic in their listening. Listening well makes leaders effective because they can:
· Anticipate potential problems and proactively address them.
· Overcome performance slumps by giving timely, informed advice via feedback and coaching.
· Stimulate creativity and gather ideas.
· Allow employees to feel heard and supported, building trust and loyalty. A staff that feels appreciated willingly does more than is expected.
If you are leading a team, be sure you are also listening to your team. Ensure they feel understood, valued and heard.
Nothing replaces face-to-face communication with your employees, and the Forté suite of products can be a strategic tool in your listening effectiveness. Forté's on-going adapting updates can indicate when it may be time to sit down for a one-to-one conversation.
Forté will also teach you, as their leader, how to best communicate with each individual team member—based on their key strengths and motivators—allowing you to draw out the potential in your team.
Call or email The Forté Institute today to explore how we can help you develop a proactive listening strategy, and keep your finger on the pulse of your team.
Forté Institute's Rachel Olsen is on faculty in the Communication Studies department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She is also a trained and certified coach.
Forte | Teams | Leadership
I nodded my head "yes" as I read an article by Monique Valcouat at The Harvard Business Review titled "You Can't Be a Great Manager If You're Not a Good Coach."
(Note: We're proud to say The Harvard Business School is a Forté client.)
Here's an excerpt from Valcouat's article:
"If you have room in your head for only one nugget of leadership wisdom, make it this one: the most powerfully motivating condition people experience at work is making progress at something that is personally meaningful. If your job involves leading others, the implications are clear: the most important thing you can do each day is to help your team members experience progress at meaningful work.
To do so, you must understand what drives each person, help build connections between each person's work and the organization's mission and strategic objectives, provide timely feedback, and help each person learn and grow on an ongoing basis.
Regular communication around development — having coaching conversations — is essential. In fact, according to recent research, the single most important managerial competency that separates highly effective managers from average ones is coaching."
If you're a leader, it's great to see these clear, prioritized, research-based objectives for your role. But if you're like most leaders, at the same time, you feel uneasy because you're not sure how to coach your people.
You make decisions about products, purchases and budgets, you keep your team working on task, you deliver quality on schedule, but you're not confident you are actually developing your team.
How do you help them grow? How do you help them relate to each other and adapt in the most authentic ways?
Forté can help.
Imagining a few questions you might have after reading Valcouat's excerpt, let me explain how Forté can help.
Q: How can I understand what drives each person on my team?
A: Give them each the Forté Communication Style Profile Benchmark survey. It helps both them and you understand their communication style, leadership style, self-motivators, de-motivators, and much more.
You'll both receive a copy of their profile results and it will certainly reveal what drives them—as well as how they are currently adapting on the job, and how they are most likely being perceived by the team at this time.
Q: How do I provide timely feedback to my team members?
A: Coaching is not a once-then-done process, neither is Forté. Your team can take the Forte Adapting Update survey simply and quickly as often as every 30-days, providing automated feedback in regular intervals.
This Adapting survey will instantly reveal how they've been adapting to their work demands and environment – both recently and over time. You'll both be able to see how well they feel they are currently meeting their goals, feeling resilient in the face of challenges and change, and more.
You can use this report as a jumping off point for a regular conversation with your direct reports. You don't have to remember to administer this survey, it can be delivered to their email inbox automatically at the prescribed intervals.
Q: How do I know the best way to communicate with those I am coaching?
A: Once the Forté Communication Style reports are done, you can run Forté Interaction Reports between you and each of your team members. This tool shows both of you how to best to communicate with and adapt to one another. Forté is all about recognizing each other's strengths, and building productive relationships that last.
Q: How do I help my team members reach goals and improve on an on-going basis?
A: Utilize the Forté Performance Coaching report. One of our exciting new tools, this simplifies and codifies the coaching process for you and your team.
Each coachee receives pre-session questions to prepare them for the session. You receive a coaching strategy, checklist, and plan that is in line with each team member's main strengths and motivators as revealed by their Forté profile.
You'll be guided and empowered like never before to specifically coach each team member to top performance.
Often, coaching is the difference between a leader who gains commitment from their employees and one who only gains compliance. Regular communication around your team members' development is essential.
Make a plan to have consistent coaching conversations with your team members.
Call or email The Forté Institute today to explore how we can help you coach your team or organization to excellence.

Certification I Outcomes
Attendees will be certified to interpret and apply the following Forte elements:
Just a quick note to thank all of you who've completed Forté Validation Requests, the follow-up email sent the day after you complete your Forté Primary (Benchmark) Report or your Forté Adapting Update.
Many of you add comments to the validity rating, and those comments have proven extremely useful over the past 30 years as we continue to update and upgrade The Forté Suite.
Just this past week, for example, we have updated some of the text at the top of page 3 of the Forté Communication Style Report and there are also updates on page 5 of the report. These updates are based on your Forté Primary Pattern and the intensity of your pattern. Do keep in mind that our technology allows updating a single word, maybe a sentence or an entire paragraph. These updates occur when we have a statistically significant consistency in feedback/questions/suggestions on a per pattern/intensity basis.
Again, thank you for your continued input as we continue to build the highest levels of accuracy and validity across the entire Forté Suite of Communication IntelligenceTM tools to meet your individual and organizational growth.
Onward and Upward!

The Forte Communications Survey helps teams to understand that communications differences do not have to create performance barriers. I had a terrific experience with the Forte tool while working with a distribution center management team for a large organization (400,000+ employees). The vice president in charge of the center told me that the team was having difficulty, that communications had deteriorated and people were not getting along well. He asked if I could help him restore the teamwork and camaraderie to the way it was.
Using the Forte Communications Survey, I created an interaction report for every member of the group. After they selected their motivators and de-motivators from their survey, we broke the group into pairs and assigned each to discuss the best way to work with and motivate one another based on the Forte recommendations. I'll never forget one extraordinary discussion between a person who had high dominance and another who had high extroversion. The high extrovert of course wanted to talk in every encounter with the high dominant. The high dominant wanted simply to move on with business and felt that the extrovert was wasting his time. In turn the extrovert felt as though the high dominant did not like him. Once they understood their communication style differences, they experienced an "ah-ha" moment realizing that their discomfort was simply due to different styles and that they could adapt their communication to accommodate each other's needs. The remainder of the group had similar experiences. Because our time was limited, we could only pair off twice so the group decided that the team members would, on their own, meet in pairs to discuss their Forte results.
After 30 days, the vice president called me and said that the group had turned around completely. They once again were experiencing the fun and teamwork that they had previously. As a consultant, we rarely have a "one call cure" but in this case it actually happened!

It's always a bitch when it comes to visit, but with the tendonitis I can't sit up and knit anything right now. Fortunately, we did a bit of cleaning this weekend, so I've been able to get to my spinning wheel for the first time in over a month. I've had the wheel for a year now, but I'm still essentially a beginner. I haven't had huge amounts of instruction, though David's been very helpful, and more importantly, I haven't gotten a lot of practice.
What I do have, though, is a whole lotta roving from Madelyn's 2005 fleece. So I'm slowly chipping away at it, even though I have no idea what I'll make with it. I expect I may try dyeing some of it, but even that's not a certainty at the moment. The funny thing is that most spinners will look at you like you're crazy if you tell them you're learning on alpaca, but I've found it a good bit easier to "get" than the sheep's wool I've played with. I think it's mostly because I tend to overtwist the sheep's wool, while the alpaca needs a good bit more twist to hold it together.
Does anyone have a pattern for Magic Loop mittens and/or gloves? I make all my socks with a ML pattern and love it. I've heard that there are ML glove and mitten patterns but I've not found any. Can anyone assist me in this search, thanks?
Here's a link (to a forum entry on knittinghelp.com) that talks about making gauge swatches for projects knit in-the-round.
The method described involves knitting a row, sliding the work to the other end of a circular needle, then knitting the next row from the same side (leaving a long loop of yarn across the back). Advantage: you end up with a measurable rectangle instead of a loop.
Has anyone tried this method? Are there other methods to recommend?
The big news for me this week was that I finally got Madelyn moved closer to me. I hadn't seen her for 8 months, since I moved back to Maine. I went to see her yesterday (she's boarding on a farm in NH), and she's completely unperturbed about the move or being in a new place. She's a fairly calm 'paca, anyway, so I didn't expect any problems.
I bought Maddy one week before my ex, Scott, dumped me. If I'd known what was coming, I might not have made such a big investment commitment, but in the end things have worked out very well. I have my first 'paca, I found myself someone who shares my love of the animals, and I have lots of soft fiber and yarn to play with. Plus, I did at least get a spinning wheel out of Scott before he dumped me - best thing to come of that relationship.
I got a kitty and want to spin kitty hair yarn. Her coat is super soft and about an inch in length, which I've read seems to be the minimum for spinning it without needing to blend it with wool.
I found a company that will spin the yarn for you, but that's no fun. Anyone ever spun pet hair?
Twisted, humorous commentary is also encouraged! :)
Who do knit for the most; yourself or others?
My only complaint since the site changes is that when I come to the site (HOME) it always says PAGE NOT FOUND instead of having all the latest posts. It's been like that for a week or so. It has all the sidebar stuff such as polls and log on window.
I just had to show this off because I've been wanting to learn how to do this stitch for awhile now. Well tonight I finally made myself sit down and figure it out. This is the briotch stitch. I call it the bitch stitch because that's just what it was to learn... a bitch! lol..... I think the hardest thing for me to figure out was how to do the yarn over but once I figured that out I was knitting this stitch almost as fast as I can knit a 2x2 rib.
Here is a cool article to read.
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I live near Boston, MA and have been knitting for almost a year. I'm very excited to have stumbled across this site. It's great (and humbling!) to see what everyone's working on.
I wanted to share two little projects I've just finished. First, a snake. It's from "Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy" by Jess Hutchinson. This is my first project on DPNs!

Midnight gunfire ends in New Year's Eve arrest
Oak Bluffs police arrested Brian Weston, 60, of Hampden on New Year's Eve, and charged him with numerous gun-related offenses in what Mr. Weston claimed was a celebration of the New Year.
Shortly after midnight on New Year's Day, Oak Bluffs police received several phone calls about possible gunshots fired in the vicinity of Second Avenue. Officer Seth Harlow was already investigating when the calls came in. "The new year had just started and I heard what I believed to be fireworks. There was a succession of loud 'bangs,' but I never saw any flashes of light in the sky," he wrote in his police report. As Officer Harlow tracked the source of the disturbance, several more calls came in from residents in the area, including one saying they saw a deer that they believed had been shot.
Officer Harlow, joined in his search by officers J.J. Mendez and Dustin Shaw, was flagged down by a man who said he saw muzzle flashes coming from 29 Second Avenue, not far from the Oak Bluffs library. When the officers investigated, they found numerous spent shell casings in the front yard. Mr. Weston greeted them with a series of expletives and told them, in so many words, to leave his property.
According to the police report, Mr. Weston scuffled with officers as they tried to arrest him. It took double locked handcuffs to eventually subdue him. Mr. Weston, who police noted had a very strong odor of alcohol on his breath, remained combative as he was taken into custody. He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace while armed, discharging a weapon within 500 feet of a building, improper storage of a firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Mr. Weston maintained that he was celebrating the New Year and that he never had any intention of hurting anyone. He also said he shot at a deer because it was damaging his garden.
A subsequent security sweep of Mr. Weston's premises turned up 12 guns of varying caliber, 27 spent shell casings and over 1,500 rounds of ammunition. Numerous knives, including a switchblade, and handcuffs were also found.
At the request of Oak Bluffs police, Chief Jeff Farnsworth of the Hampden Police department, the issuing authority, revoked Mr. Weston's "License to Carry" (LIC). A firearms license check of Mr. Weston revealed seven registered firearms that were not recovered by Oak Bluffs police.
Thursday morning, police went to the jail where, "Weston was cooperative and continually told us that he wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible," Detective Nicholas Curelli wrote in his report. Mr. Weston told police that he is a firearms collector and that the missing weapons were disassembled Russian rifles that he kept at his residence in Hampden.
Hampden police are investigating.
Mr. Weston was released from the Dukes County Jail on $1,000 bail.
thanks for letting us see this face
Wow. This could have ended badly!
watched too many episodes of duck dynasty
He looks like he BELONGS on Duck Dynasty!
he seems to look like baba ram dass back in the day
he should have said he was taking VP Joe Biden's advice on how to scare off intruders
Or Dick Cheney's advice on hunting.
Well, I guess that answers why I thought some of the fireworks that night didn't sound quite like fireworks.
I thought Mucko McDermott was in jail?
What about his 2nd amendment rights? Anyone heard of freedom of expression? Welcome to Obamas America
He doesn't have any second amendment rights to shoot within 500 feet of a house, no? Nothing to do with Obama.
Good sarcasm is wasted in text.
What does this have to do with Obama ?
"welcome to Obama's America" ?
what does that mean ?
It's truly amazing that a totally meaningless comment like that gets so many likes..-
Look up the word, satire, it could be useful to you.
how would one know ? On the story about the Scow, someone brought illegal aliens into the conversation !????
I don't think he is being satirical or sarcastic.-
It screams sarcasm, plus, due to every comment thread on any subject has somebody bashing Obama, it's become an internet meme.
Example:Xbox game chat
A player disappears mid-game and returns,,
Where did you go?
My Xbox froze, thanks Obama.
While you guys went off on an Obama tangent, most of us were munching popcorn and laughing .
Stop feeling the need to defend everything Obama. A lot of us are disgusted in the direction that OUR country is going in and Obama happens to be at the helm right now. Lighten up and don't get your panties in a bunch just because some of us are venting our frustration. Seeing how we working class folk are pulling the major load in this country, I do believe that we are ENTITLED to do so.
Welcome to the mv times site, Mary.
I am honored that your first comment is to me.
If you read my comments, you will find that I do not actually "defend everything Obama" There are plenty of things that he has done that I am disappointed in. And you are correct that it is OUR country. We share it. I get annoyed sometimes with the conservatives who think jesus is our national god, compassion and compromise are bad words, and all our problems are caused by liberal freeloaders and illegal aliens.
Feel free to vent your frustrations. Everyone here will read them.
The "working class folk", or middle class, (of which I am one) have always pulled this country.
Here is a link to a published opinion about the middle class.
I don't like to present opinions here often, but starting at about paragraph 13, the author sites facts. I like facts.
If you read those numbers, you may understand why the working class is feeling more stress lately. It's not the poor that are enjoying the most of the fruits of middle class labor, its the rich. Just the facts..
And again, welcome, and thank you for your comments.-
I apologize for coming off disrespectful. I am just so disgusted in ALL of our politicians and where we are going as a nation. It is as if we the people don't matter anymore. It is about the gain politically and financially. The idea of how this was all suppose to work has been so distorted. Voting themselves pay raises, opting out of the very programs that they implement on the country, not listening to the voter after they have been voted into office. (etc.) The list goes on. I am also very disgusted in the blatant abuse of entitlement programs. I even dislike the word entitlement. I have family that enjoy those programs and they are quite able to work but don't. Disgusting but I digress. Enjoyed the chat. Thank You and have a great week.
well said. It's nice to see a clear, reasonable and articulate comment.
no need to apologize, I was not offended.
But thanks -
Its worse than you think.
Thank you.. That is really good. I will pass that one along !
I think even republicans could understand it. If any of them ever bothered to watch it, they might even quit blaming the impoverished aliens for taking all the money out of the economy. -
The you tube graphs are not surprising. What does one do about it. Do we take from the rich or do we create an economic environment of incentives that lifts all boats. Class envy isn't going to cut it. An economic system that incentivizes capital spending and investment with not stranglehold regulations, lower corporate taxes, lower capital gains taxes, and less long term debt. A President that doesn't constantly bash the rich or wall street. Does anyone think that a health care system of one sixth of the economy run by the government is going to incentivize small business to hire full time employees. Could that have been avoided? Is 7 percent unemployment still Bush's fault. Has so many workers dropped out of looking for a job still Bush's fault? Can the President have one way of doing things that is different from another way of doing things and therefore help the economy. Do you really believe that if Bill Clinton were in charge we would have this kind of economy?
Greed is the problem. I blame Washington. They will continue to have their heads buried in the sand as long as special interests keep lining their pockets. I would love to start a new political party called "the Disgusted Party".
If you vote or voted for obama, or vote or voted for any democrats, then you support and defend obama. period.
actually, that is not the way I work.
I do not defend his handling of spying on the world, the way the aca has rolled out, or the fact it took him years to say he favored same sex marriage.
Perhaps you think that if you vote for someone, you are permanently committed to defend them, right or wrong.
I can think for myself, and will defend him when he is right and criticize him when he is wrong (in my opinion) .
I do not blindly march in goose step to the party I favor. -
If you voted for him, you are responsible for all that happens as a consequence of his policies or non-policies. You gave him to us. All of you who voted for him.
so, are you personally responsible for the failures to stop 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, and the torture at abu grabh , as well as the torture and continued imprisonment of uncharged people at Guantanamo and various secret prisons around the world. ?
thank you for acknowledging that I am responsible for the end of U.S military involvement in Iraq, the worldwide economic recovery after the disastrous consequences of unfettered capitalism as pushed by many countries in the early 2000's
Also, a reduction of almost a full percentage point in unemployment, http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000
let's not forget the stock market– an astounding 150% gain in 5 years, 53 all time record highs in 2013 for the dow.
We can also talk about basic human rights– I haven't heard any stories about the unites states torturing people lately, and tens of thousands of people have been able to marry people they love, as well as being able to get health insurance even if they happen to be born with some medical problems, or had some medical problem years ago.
Again, Jonathan, thank you for acknowledgement , but I really don't think I can claim all the credit.. -
In my last post to you , I forgot to mention the "fast and furious" "gun walking" operation that conservatives rail about.
let's look at the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry.
he was killed on dec 14 2010 ,
the gun that killed him was purchased In jan of 2010 about a year after Obama took office.A clear cut case that it's all Obama's fault ( and according to your logic,)
but lets take a closer look at this —
This program was launched by the Bush administration in 2006 and was know to have serious problems in 2007
so let me ask you this…
Are you responsible for the death of Brian Terry because you voted for the guy that started this program 4 years before this incident and ignored warnings about it's failings for 2 ears before he left office, or am I responsible because I voted for the guy that did not cancel this program as soon as he got into office ?
Don't express conservative ownership of the working class. The working class put Obama into office.
I don't know who you are, vivavineyard, but I think you're my internet soulmate.
sad but true. those whom obama hurts most put him over the top.
It lampoons an element of the commentariat that infests these (and most other) media sites.
Guns plus alcohol are a good combination if you're in the running for a Darwin award.
But, it's the 'Murrican way!!!-
as long as it's only a Darwin award. Unfortunately, guns often point away from the shooter.
As well as being intelligent, he is a handsome devil!
Great job obpd and supporting nimrods! this man is most certainly a threat to you, and i. more so then you goons driving <85mph in those fancy new toys you bought! but its ok. your here to protect and serve. we understand.
Where to begin,,,,,,,,,,
Well, I live near enough to where the shooter lives to be greatly concerned about a drunken shooter firing into the air or where ever he was pointing his weapon. Stray rounds travel a great distance and are still lethal.
I have yet to see an OB officer drive as recklessly as you claim. I can usually tell what's going on by how they're driving. Roughly the speed limit, routine. Going fairly quick, a call. Lights, that can't be good. Lights and siren, something bad just happened.
Firearms and alcohol dont mix. Take away his weapons until he can demonstrate that hes off the booze. Nothing worse than a stinkin drunk with a gun.

Added an additional output that I have found useful, a DenyHosts.ip file. It's prepped and ready to cut and paste into a .htaccess file. Useful for blocking unwanted folks at the Webserver level. You can modify it to say what you need for your own uses.
This script along with blockingscript.sh also listed in Blacklist Scripts, do a pretty decent job keeping UNWANTED trolls from the site. Both rely in IPTables and .htaccess file to do so.

Last night, DH dropped one of the last of my glass pasta bowls. It landed on the floor and literally went "BOOM!" It smashed into thousands of glassy crumbs, the largest being less than 1/2", spreading from a 3" tall pile (I guess where it first hit)left and right 9 feet and twelve feet forward. I was standing at the stove (8 feet away) and it felt like beach sand blown on a windy day. DH was slack-jawed from shock.
First clean-up was with a broom, filling the oversized dustpan. (DH apologizing.) Second clean-up was with the vacuum. (DH apologizing.) Third clean-up (DH apologizing) was with a damp mop... which glittered with invisible shards. Therefor, fourth clean-up was with wads of damp newspaper, followed by another mopping (DH still apologizing). Finally, no shards showing up, but I'm afraid to go barefoot. Oh, and DH is still apologizing. Each time, I tell him that accidents happen, and this could have been worse. Maybe I should set him the task of finding replacement bowls, but I suspect he would be afraid to buy glass. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Poor guy. Good luck on finding replacements! I'm moving my home, and this past Saturday sis and I were both in the POD, me handing her bags of stuff and she, the taller of us, was putting them where they belonged. One overreaching grab knocked over the 60+ year old mirror that goes on my dressing table. She just kept saying, boy am I glad I didn't do that! I just calmly picked up the pieces, swept and kept going. I was really sad. Wonder how much that will cost to replace? Oy! I would never have been angry with her, but she sure would've been angry with herself. She wrecked my brand new car (my first) when she was 16 and I was 20. We're now 43 and almost 39, she's still upset and I still don't care. It's a hunk of metal for goodness sakes! I care way more about her. |

What amazes me is the amount of mess things which are dropped make. It always seems to be 5 times more than what it was in original condition, be it solid or liquid. |
Last winter I was trying to replace flourescent bulbs (48") in our kitchen. I got the old ones --two of them--removed and was being very careful--I thought--in replacing the new ones. I got one in and thought I had the other in place, but evidently didn't. It slipped out of the groove; DH managed to get out of the way and I was on the step ladder. It hit the kitchen counter, then, the floor with a smash. We, too, had glass shards, everywhere. What a mess! We had the young man who does "stuff" for us put in the next one! From what I've been seeing on "House Hunters", those kind of kitchen fixtures are "very outdated"; maybe it's time for something else? |
mwheel, don't go into your kitchen without wearing combat boots. |

Lol, anneliese, I totally agree with your statement. Been there many times. For example, a tree that looks perfectly propotional in it's verticle shape, takes on a whole new dimention when it has to be cut down and it covers an entire lawn. |
From my experience, you will be finding more bits of glass in unexpected places for some time to come. Please be careful. |
Last Christmas one of my daughters was washing a crystal bowl when she dropped it in the sink. Smash, total destruction! She cut a gash between two fingers clear to the tendons. Off to the ER. This Fourth of July, same daughter, same scenario, off to ER returning with 8 stitches in her little finger. I said, "No way, there isn't space for 8 stitches in your little finger!" Since at Christmas time she got an infection in her cut, this time they gave her an antibiotic. Finished with the prescription she broke out with a horrendous case of hives, on her face to her feet. Massive discomfort. To add to her suffering she was chairperson for a large convention coming to town the day she blossomed! Here she was, greeting folks from all over the states, with her body covered in welts. She said she eventually tired of explaining her situtation and just simply said "I have Hives!" The family has voted to never let her wash a crystal bowl again!!! |
Combat boots and maybe a helmet and heavy gloves, too! I have always walked into furniture and been accident prone. A few years ago, I stepped off a two inch blacktop roadway the wrong way and broke my ankle! Bummer! |

Sierra flood warnings, mudslide close highway
RENO, Nev. (AP) � Record-breaking heat gave way to thunderstorms in the Sierra on Tuesday, dumping heavy rain along the California-Nevada line and triggering flash-flood warnings and a mudslide that closed part of a highway south of Hawthorne.
The National Weather Service issued a flash-flood warning until 6:30 p.m. Tuesday for Mineral County in western Nevada after more than an inch of rain fell in less than an hour.
There were no reports of injuries, but the service said a weather spotter reported one vehicle was stuck in the mud on Nevada Highway 359 about 6.5 miles south of Hawthorne near Lucky Boy Pass Road about 120 miles southeast of Reno.
Nevada Department of Transportation spokeswoman Meg Ragonese told the Reno Gazette Journal that crews were on the scene, but there was no estimate on when they would reopen the highway connecting Hawthorne to California Highway 167 just north of Mono Lake.
The weather service said in a statement just before 5 p.m. that the flash-flood warning covered a stretch of U.S. Highway 95 between Hawthorne and Luning where motorists "should be alert for ponding water on the roadway."
"This storm is producing torrential rainfall of 1 inch or more in 30 minutes," the service said.
A flash-flood warning was issued earlier Tuesday just across the state line in central Mono County east of Yosemite National Park. That warning expired about 3 p.m., and there were no immediate reports of damage.
A flash-flood watch goes into effect Wednesday morning for areas in and around Lake Tahoe, Reno, Carson City, Sparks, Gardnerville, Virginia City as well as the California towns of Bridgeport and Mammoth Lakes.
"Abundant moisture and light winds aloft will lead to slow-moving thunderstorms with heavy rain," the weather service said.
"The areas at greatest risk for flash flooding are near small creeks and streams, urban areas and recent burn scars, such as the Bison Fire in Douglas County," the service said. "Heavy rain may also lead to rock and mud slides near steep terrain (which) may impact travel over mountain passes."
The Bison fire burned roughly 43 square miles and forced the evacuation of more than 75 homes in Douglas and Lyon counties in the Pine Nut Mountains last July. The burned areas are especially susceptible to erosion.
High temperatures were forecast in the upper 90s Tuesday through Thursday around Reno, where 42-year-old records fell with highs of 103 on Sunday and 105 on Monday.
Several other cities also set records on consecutive days, capped by highs on Monday of 108 in Lovelock, 107 in Yerington, 106 in Fallon and 103 in Carson City
Even California mountain towns above 6,000-feet elevation around Lake Tahoe saw unusually hot weather, with records set Monday at Truckee (98) and South Lake Tahoe (92).
