this is the only cartoon that i actually like... or rather love! Its got awesome humor and has a great storyline TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS!!! this is probably the best cartoon on tv!!
My kids loved watching this series. Buying it from Overstock was a great price. This really gave them something to discuss and get into together.
I have loved the series since episode one which I why I bought the entire series at one time. I was a a little sad that I could only buy the second season from Overstock but it is still fantastic. I Haven't had any problems with the product since I received it and the show is just as entertaining as I remember it. Not only that but I love watching the bonus features.
Everyone may initially look at this series and think that it's a kid thing. Sure, but it's also for everyone else too! The story gets better and better as you progress and this 2nd book in the story adds more twists and turns to all the characters' journeys. Not only does Book 2 contain more riveting suspense, it also reveals depth and authenticity to who the people are in the story. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this series and I know everyone that watches it will feel the same way; it's a story that transcends age and all else - one of the greatest shows of all time, hands down.
i have watched avatar since the very first episode and ever since i have been a huge fan. i already own seasons 1 and 3 but not 2 and i finally got it from overstock! season 2 is my favorite! it is a really good show and i definetly recommend it!!! only thing.... it took foooooooooooooooooooreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to get to my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i ordered it and 2 weeks later i still didnt have it... crazy. anywayyyys buy this!! its amazing when it finally comes!!!!
I have seen all the series on tv I love it, and it the best cartoon on tv I ever seen it also have a great storyline.I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!.The package is a great price and came so very quickly from Overstock.com. OVERSTOCK IS THE BEST :).

Looking to add that relaxing, outdoorsy touch to your home décor with an area rug made of natural fibers? The number of choices available can be overwhelming. And if you don't know what jute is, or even how to pronounce the word sisal (it's SIGH-suhl, by the way), it can be enough to make you throw your hands up in despair.
Luckily, we're here to help. We've put together a handy little guide to choosing the right natural fiber rug to fit your style, complete with descriptions of each type of fiber and instructions for their care. Enjoy part one today, and be sure to visit our blog again soon for the next installment!
The Jutes were a Germanic tribe that invaded England in the…oh, wait…sorry, wrong jute! Our jute is actually a plant grown in India and Bangladesh. The fibers are stripped from the plant's stalk – not the leaves – and then spun. Once woven together, they create a coarse, strong material – the same material, in fact, that burlap is made from.
Because jute fiber comes from the stalk, it is softer than sisal fiber, so some people prefer its texture – but being softer does also mean it is the less durable of the two. It does best in low to medium traffic areas, such as bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, or maybe a home office.
Jute rugs can look a lot like wool, which explains the etymology of the name; jute comes from the ancient Sanskrit word juta, which means "twisted hair." (We wonder if the Germanic Jutes liked to braid each other's hair…) Its natural color is brown, but it can be dyed in different colors, as well.
Clean your jute rug by vacuuming it regularly on both sides, and spot cleaning spills immediately. Do not steam clean, as jute rugs are very absorbent.
Sisal is the stiff fiber stripped from the large, fleshy leaves of the Mexican agave plant – yep, the same agave your favorite tequila's made of! It's spun into a yarn-like material which can then be dyed or left its natural creamy white.
We're not sure if it's because of its close relationship with tequila or not, but sisal is one of the strongest plant fibers available, and as such, is ideal for high traffic areas like hallways and dens. Being so tough and durable, it's not as soft as jute, but it does offer the added benefit of being so absorbent that it will actually pull humidity from the air on hot summer days, cooling any room it graces. If that's not a cool party trick, we don't know what is!
Sisal rugs should also be vacuumed regularly, and any spills should be addressed right away to prevent stains. Steam cleaning is a big no-no for sisal, as well.
Area rugs made of natural fibers can add a uniquely fresh look to any room, and there's a perfect choice for every spot in your house. Be sure to check back soon for the next part of our guide to natural fibers, when we'll be discussing seagrass and coir.

NO HAPPY HOUR AS ADVERTISED!ByCLR56 January 21, 2015 STAYED AT THE CROWNE PLAZA THIS PAST WEEKEND, WENT TO THE BAR FOR HAPPY HOUR (FRIDAY NIGHT, 1-16-15) WHICH WAS ADVERTISED ON THE MARQUEE IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, ON THE TELEVISIONS IN THE FOYER AND WAS ALSO ADVERTISED ON A BULLENTIN BOARD IN FRONT OF THE BAR - BEER $2.25 AND MARGARITA'S $5.25 TILL 7 P.M. (NOW THE BOARD IN FRONT OF THE BAR DID SAY "DOMESTIC BEER" $2.25, BUT ALL OTHERS (MARQUEE AND TELEVISIONS JUST STATED "BEER" $2.25 AS THEIR ADVERTISED HAPPY HOUR PRICE.) I ORDERED A MARGARITA FROM THE GENTLEMAN BARTENDER, WHO TOLD ME JUST THE "PLAIN" MARGARITA WAS THE ADVERTISED HAPPY HOUR PRICE, HE MADE IT, IT WAS DELICIOUS, MY HUSBAND HAD A COUPLE OF SAM ADAMS AND A BOURBON. WE RECEIVED OUR BILL AND THEY CHARGED US $10.00 FOR EACH DRINK!!!!!! AT THE TIME THE BILL CAME AROUND THERE WAS A YOUNG WOMAN BARTENDER, AS OUR ORIGINAL BARTENDER WAS NOW HOSTING IN THE DINING ROOM. I POINTED THE ERROR TO HER AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A HAPPY HOUR AT THIS BAR, NEVER WAS!!!!! THAT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE PRICE!!!!! I WAS NOT HAPPY AND MY HUSBAND DID NOT WANT ME TO "MAKE A SCENE" SO HE PAID THE BILL AND WE LEFT. NOTHING FOR NOTHING, BUT AS I STATED EARLIER, HAPPY HOUR WAS ON THE MARQUEE IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, TELEVISIONS, AND ON A BOARD IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE BAR. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? LET'S SEE IF I GET A RESPONSE FROM ANYONE!

Partick Thistle enjoying life back in the big time
If anything sums up the phrase "Firhill for thrills", it must be the profile picture of Conrad Balatoni on the Partick Thistle club website.
There is a guy who is extremely happy, bordering on worryingly happy, to be a Jag.
But you can understand why.
For during all the usual close season football clamour of player transfers and confusing friendly results, Thistle have increasingly emitted a refreshing joy and energy that smacks of a club at which it must be pretty good fun to be involved.
It's the first time in 10 years they have been preparing for a season in the top flight and their excitement at getting this Scottish Premiership opportunity has been plain to see.
Under manager Alan Archibald, all the hubbub created during Partick's successful 'We got this' First Division title success last season seems to have snowballed during the July heat wave.
Much of this boils down to signings, sanctions and seats.
"Northampton Town boss Aidy Boothroyd said that Henoc Mukendi had "a lot of potential" when he joined in August 2012, but he didn't realise it in his short spell at the Cobblers. He headed in the winner against Colchester in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and that was his only goal in 13 appearances. There's no doubt in my mind he has the skills and the build to be a real menace for someone but League Two football didn't seem to suit him last year." (Jon Wilkinson - BBC Radio Northampton)
New arrivals have not only been numerous, but intriguing.
Simon Colina Dominguez was captain of the under-19 team at Barcelona, and word on the street is that team can play a bit.
The west end of Glasgow may not have been Colina's initial idea of career progression, but everyone in red, yellow and black is thrilled the Spanish midfielder is on board.
Then there's the Mexican Gabriel Rojo de la Vega Piccolo, a 23-year-old defender who's already waxing lyrical about Glasgow as a city - the lad's not daft.
So, that's a touch of European flair combined with some Latin American bite; how about a dash of African athleticism?
That's where 6ft 3in Henoc Mukendi comes in.
He's a Congolese forward and arrived at Thistle on loan from Liverpool, although he spent last season banging in one goal in 13 appearances for Northampton Town.
However, don't get the impression Archibald has gone too far in the direction of wacky, untried and untested talent, because adding the experience of goalkeeper Paul Gallacher, as well as midfielders Isaac Osbourne and Mark Kerr, brings things back towards equilibrium.
Sanctions, but not ones imposed on them, have also given Partick Thistle reason for cheer ahead of the new campaign.
The 15-point deduction that Hearts begin the season with, as a result of being placed in administration, gives Archibald's men a head-start they couldn't have dreamed of.
At the beginning of any other campaign, pundit after pundit would be naming Thistle as candidates for relegation - indeed, some still are, highlighting what an arduous task top-flight consolidation is for a promoted club.
We got what?
The phrase 'we got this' was synonymous with Partick Thistle's march to the First Division title last season. It arose after many wrote off Thistle's chances of glory after the departure of former manager Jackie McNamara in January. The young squad regrouped, however, confidently stating "we got this" as they finished off the job of earning promotion to the SPFL.
But Partick will not want to squander the enhanced opportunity these rare circumstances have given them.
Finally, then, to seats.
Firhill has 13,079 of the things, and a large part of the buzz surrounding the club is owed to the fact that all of them are going to be available for use.
Over recent seasons, Jags fans have become accustomed to being housed only in their precious Jackie Husband stand, with visiting fans perched in the north end and the traditional main stand left largely redundant.
Not this year.
Although segregation will naturally still occur, anywhere in Firhill is fair game for supporters and a few sell-outs are surely on the cards.
But's that not all on the reclining front.
They've taken the 'professional' part of SPFL quite seriously, upgrading their dug-out to contain top of the range 'bucket' seats.
Perhaps that's why all these flair players are so keen for a piece of the Firhill action, or inaction - being out of the starting XI may become no bad thing.
Seriously, though, whatever the combination of reasons for Partick Thistle's chirpiness; it's good.
And they've got the honour of kicking the whole shooting match off against Dundee United at Firhill.
It's all been teed up nicely - Friday night football under the floodlights and in front of the TV cameras, United's Paul Paton and Chris Erskine coming back to play against the club they helped promote and Tangerines manager Jackie McNamara returning to the place he left less than amicably.
Will he get a comfy bucket seat?

Exact Tuning: details explained
I just realized I may not have been previously explicit enough re: explaining my proven peak-performance set-up:
1. 4mm upper/ 3mm lower rotor "tip-play" [up/down movement by hand] 2. Flt.-RPM spinning upper rotor w/ slightly more positive coning angle relative to lower > actual amount of each varies w/user's taste for stability (lower angle) vs maneuverability (greater angle) and servo throw (varies w/each unit) 3. Upper rotor blades somewhat torsionally stiffer than lower To get this, normally the upper rotor (bendable soft) alu (hub) plates must have a markedly negative coning angle [maybe neg. 2° - 3°], and the lower rotor plates only a tiny neg. coning angle (since the upper blades are looser, they must be pushed down more!). At low RPM the looser upper blades (fwd-swept!) self-twist in more pitch .... but as RPM increaes, the softer lower blades flex into more pitch, so that there is less pitch differential btwn. the rotors. [NOTE: the lower rotor must always have more pitch than the upper (it's in a downward accelerated airflow), but at higher RPM the lower rotor jumps into MUCH better Rn's, so it doesn't need so much of a pitch increase/differential]. The above is actually complex, and it took me a long time to understand the mechanics, but it is really what is going on with my "super"-tuned helis that fly like SRs half their weight (and with much greater stability and solidity than those lighter ones exactly because of the weight).

simple perfect-tuning check >
Assuming that the blades are balanced and the lower rotor has about 10% more pitch than the upper, if the spinning flybar shows a tiny vibration at its tips .... the rotors are NOT tuned!
The tips and entire length of a flt.-RPM spinning flybar will appear (viewed perpendicularly to its disc) rock-steady in a perfectly tuned rotor system .... L |

In spinning, flt.-RPM operation, from 2. above > upper rotor w/ slightly more positive coning angle relative to lower > actual amount of each varies w/user's taste for stability (lower angle) vs maneuverability (greater angle) and servo throw (varies w/each unit) I.e.: BOTH rotors have positive coning angles, varying more/less with user taste .... but upper rotor has slightly more positive coning angle than lower. Clear ? AFTER first removing the thin inner bolts I use the blades themselves to bend the alu plates, OR instead I remove the thick outer bolts and use my fingers. In either case I carefully observe the bend before, during and after! [bolts MUST be removed to prevent stripping!!] Lee |

addendum to tuning details
I forgot to mention: if the heli is steady in a hover but yaws left when power is surged and if that annoys you .... make sure in that case that the lower rotor blades are softer than the upper so that the lower blades twist in compensating pitch to neutralize the yaw.

don't make this mistake!
While replacing a left servo [that is, one on the left side: both servos are the same!], I inadvertently put a servo screw in the hole under the proper servo-hole closest to the bottom PCB center, by the red LIPO-wire connection.
When I removed the screw and put it in the correct hole just above that one .... ther was no LIPO connection via the on/off switch! After unsuccessfully trying to solder over the damage I'd caused to the PCB, I finally had to cut down an extra servo screw and leave it permanently in the lower wrong hole in order for the switch to work! [of course I put CA gel over that "repair-screw" and colored it black as a reminder during the next servo change] So make sure to put that screw in the right hole ....! Lee |

important performance note!
The other day while flying one of my 5888s outside in a light wind, I found that this time it had a lot of trouble penetrating upwind. After a while I checked the spinning rotor discs, stopped it, and discovered that the lower rotor blades' "tip-play" had migrated to 2mm, instead of the proven-optimal 3mm.
When I corrected that, the airspeed almost DOUBLED!! Lee |

I can't believe I found this thread! I have one of these I got to get used to the controls before trying my HDX450 again! I went through the linkages and tweaked them so it hovered still while the electronic trims were centered, much easier to control. Is there a post in this 60 page diatribe that explains all the tweaks to get this thing flying better than I have it (it actually flies very nice now!)?

Early snowfall and blizzards, oh my! As Michiganders brave an early winter, the need to keep our elderly loved ones safe becomes even more apparent. In our special three-part blog series, we have been examining ways to do just that (you can read Part One here and Part Two here). In our third and final installment of this series, we offer tips on how to keep your elderly loved one healthy as the snow falls.
Make sure your elderly loved one has an ample supply of their medications. In the event of a weather emergency, driving to a doctor's office or pharmacy could become dangerous or even impossible. This could leave your loved one without their important medicines for a day or even more. Similarly, if your loved one picks up their prescriptions from a pharmacy that is far away, see if they can switch to a closer location. A shorter drive is always better, especially during inclement weather. Washtenaw County has many pharmacy options, so make sure your loved one is not driving any more than they have to for their prescriptions.
Our elderly loved ones are especially susceptible to hypothermia, as their bodies produce less heat than younger bodies. This could lead to a dangerous drop in body temperature. To prevent this, consider the following precautions-
- Wear several layers of loose-fitting (but warm) clothing. Tight clothing can constrict blood flow, which is especially dangerous for seniors.
- Limit the consumption of alcohol; alcohol can actually decrease bodily temperatures.
- Stay indoors.
- Make sure your loved one is eating enough to maintain their normal body weight- body fat is essential for keeping the body warm.
The signs of hypothermia include sleepiness, confusion, stiffness in the limbs, and loss of control of bodily movements. For more information on hypothermia, click here to read Hypothermia: A Cold Weather Hazard by the National Institute on Aging.
If you need any assistance keeping your elderly loved one safe this holiday season, Contact Care Response today, and put Ann Arbor's choice for home health care to work for you! Thank you for reading!

The Obama administration is poised to add electric vehicles to its huge fleet of automobiles.
For the first time, the General Services Administration is asking auto companies to place bids on selling about 100 electric cars to the government.
The move is part of the White House's plan to increase the number of green vehicles used by federal workers on the job.
"The new technology lends itself to the multiple functions that the government does in its day-to-day business," said Bill Toth, director of the GSA's Office of Motor Vehicle Management.
For now, the 100-vehicle request is largely symbolic since the federal fleet consists of 650,000 vehicles.
The GSA, which will spend about $4 million on the vehicles, is expected to award contracts by the end of the year.
Gary Bauer, president ofAmerican Values, talked more about the value of electric cars on the Oct. 26 edition of the CBN News Channel Morning News. Click play to watch the interview.

But the Islamist renewal in the West Bank has also been accompanied by an uptick in clashes with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), spurring questions in Israel about whether the sides have reached the threshold of a new Palestinian uprising. Some analysts believe years of calm and stability in the West Bank are coming to an end.
Around the same time as the Nablus demonstration, hundreds of Palestinian youth in Hebron clashed with Israeli soldiers after the funeral of a local teenager who was killed by the IDF two days ago. According to the army, the minor attacked a solder with a fake gun, which a second soldier who opened fire believed to be real. Israel Radio reported today that security forces were bracing themselves for a new round of clashes following weekly prayer services.
Nathan Thrall, a Middle East analyst with the International Crisis Group, says tensions began rising after Palestinian protests against economic austerity measures several months ago. Those protests first were directed at the PA, and then at Israel.
"Tensions really have increased since the Gaza war. It's clear that there's less restraint than there had been a month ago," he says. "Protests had already started in September, when people had been challenging the PA and Israel in a way they hadn't in some time. The Gaza war continued that."

We will finally be having our interior painted after 22 years of builders white. This area has not been painted in over 22 years!
Our painter uses Valspar. We will be going to a medium-beige-nothing real drastic but definitely darker/more contemporary. We have painted other rooms darker (yellow, light sage, dark beige) using one coat of primer and two coats of paint. Is this necessary? We used a primer and one coat and it did not look "finished" until we added the additional coat. Do we need a primer and then two coats? Will two coats work without a primer? What is the "standard" that painters use? Our painter did not make a recommendation and said it was "up to us." Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This depends on if the paint is washable or flat. If it is flat, then full color coverage is the only thing that matters...if it covers in one coat, then you are done. For a washable paint, the best system is always one coat primer and two coats finish, but the 'standard' is probably just two coats finish with no primer. If your painter did not make a recommendation, then I would be asking why not? A true pro should have recommendations. It is their job to educate the customer. |

A true pro should have recommendations. He or she would also most likely NOT be using Valspare to begin with.I have never seen ANY professional painter buying paint from a big box store. |

70 years after D-Day, some companies still struggle with their dark WWII history
As the world marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day this week with films, TV and radio broadcasts and dozens of new books specially published for the occasion, you might think that by now we know everything there is to know about World War Two. Check out any library or bookstore, and the amount of shelf-space dedicated to the 12 years of Hitler's Third Reich often exceeds that of any other period in history, by far.
Yet even today, one facet of this period continues to be shrouded in obscurity, and still yields new secrets. It is the role, and complicity, of companies in the atrocities committed by the Nazis.
Just last month, two German historians published a detailed account of how the forerunner of automaker Audi AG, Auto Union AG, used concentration camp inmates and dragooned labor at its factories in eastern Germany to produce tank and aircraft engines. About 3,700 inmates of makeshift concentration camps, set up specially for the company by the SS, worked as slave laborers in Zwickau and Chemnitz, alongside 16,500 others who were forcibly conscripted. Moreover, 18,000 inmates of the Flossenbürg concentration camp were put to work to build a massive underground factory for producing tank engines. An estimated 4,500 of those workers died in the process.
While there had been reports in the past about Auto Union's use of slave labor, the new details went far beyond previous estimates. The historians' study was financed by Audi itself. "We think we need to be completely open about our past," says spokesman Jürgen de Graeve. The automaker is altering a permanent exhibition about its history, housed next to its headquarters in Ingolstadt, and de Graeve says Audi intends to make instructional use of the material to teach young employees about the dangers of nationalism and extremism.
Audi is just the latest big German firm to bring in outside historians to investigate its war record. Rival automaker Daimler AG was one of the first, opening its archives in the 1980s and 1990s, and other big companies have followed suit. Some commissioned non-German historians, including Deutsche Bank AG and insurer Allianz AG. Volkswagen, meanwhile, has converted a former air-raid shelter on its factory premises in Wolfsburg into a permanent exhibition of its use of wartime slave labor.
Rudolf Boch, one of the historians who wrote the Auto Union study, says there are still many aspects of business activity during the Third Reich that haven't come out. While most big German companies with internationally known brands have now published histories, Boch says there are plenty of smaller firms that operated during the war and haven't followed suit. Moreover, details remain patchy about the activities of firms in other countries, including in Italy, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, that were doing business with the Nazi war machine. Not to mention Japan, where corporate involvement in World War Two remains largely unpublicized.
History can ambush firms in unexpected ways. Earlier this year, a subsidiary of the French state-owned railway SNCF was invited to bid on a $6 billion light-rail line in Maryland, only to run into fierce opposition from Holocaust survivors and others who demanded that it shouldn't be allowed to do business in the United States unless it first paid reparations to the families of thousands of Jews and others it transported from France to Nazi death camps. The U.S. and French governments are currently seeking to negotiate a settlement.
In Germany, the efforts to come to terms with the Nazi past crystallized in 2000, when some 6,000 German companies joined together with the government to create the foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future, which paid reparations to victims. In part it was a defensive move to head off U.S. class-action lawsuits, similar to those filed against Swiss banks by the heirs of Holocaust victims. The payments officially ended in 2007, but the foundation continues to sponsor projects aimed at fostering "a culture of remembrance."
None of this has stopped the flow of revelations. One of Germany's richest families, the Quandts, major shareholders in automaker BMW and chemical firm Altana, commissioned a study after German TV aired an exposé in 2007 alleging that Günther Quandt built a fortune during the Third Reich by exploiting slave labor. When the study was published in 2011, Gabriele and Stefan Quandt, Günther's grandchildren, gave an interview to the weekly Die Zeit describing their shock and shame. "Günther Quandt is our grandfather. But we would have rather have had a different one," Gabriele Quandt said. "Or rather, we would have liked him to have been different."
Why has it taken so long? Some business executives who were active during the Third Reich continued in positions of power after 1945, and were at times revered for their role in creating post-war prosperity. In Ingolstadt, where Audi is based, there's a street named after Richard Bruhn, who ran Auto Union's wartime operations and then, after the war, played a key role in rebuilding the automaker. Ingolstadt city council is now considering renaming the street.
The Cold War provides another explanation for why some details are only now coming out. In Audi's case the archives were in Chemnitz, in the former East Germany, and only accessible after German reunification in 1990.
Another reason is the sheer size of the universe of Nazi destruction. "You'll never see the end of new revelations about this corporate evil," predicts Edwin Black, an American author who has written a slew of books focusing on the wartime activities of American companies, including IBM, General Motors and Ford. Among other details, Black describes how the Nazis used 3-ton "Blitz" trucks made by GM in the invasion of Poland and other countries.
As the D-Day celebrations show, the number of people who actually lived through the war years has dwindled. So why keep digging? Black, for one, says the point of continuing historical inquiry is not to get reparations or take revenge, but rather to ask the question: What can we learn?
As the Googles and Apples of the world consider whether to operate in countries with unsavory political regimes, the lessons of corporate complicity in the Third Reich are powerful cautionary tales.

It's good to expose the roles of corporations in WW2 atrocities. It's odd however that such an article can ignore IG Farben altogether along with its associations with DuPont and Standard Oil in the USA.
Even the expression "Arbeit macht frei" is attributed to Fritz Ter Meer, board member of IG Farben & chairman of Bayer. He is responsible for many of the atrocities of Auchwitz, yet apparently Bayer are unrepentant for his crimes.
It would be useful to look at the role played by British and US companies as well. Far too little is known about the relationship between the Nazi party and (say) the Ford Motor Company. It was believed in the early Thirties that Henry Ford (among others) helped finance Hitler. If he did not then he was a rarity: many other major concerns contributed to the Nazi party, mostly after it had won power.
The board members and CEOs were and still are very much admirerers of the fascist leaders. To own and dictate without democratic influence, to own and not be responsible to anyone but yourself is their utopia. They want the right to own everyone and everything and to force their will on everyone. It's the dream they are still trying to achieve, and have largely through mass brainwashing. Wars are for profits and that is why we have wars. Drugs are for profits and that is why we have drugs. Ask the CIA who their bosses are. It's not congress, that's for sure. Most of you think congress and the president want plausible deniability so that they don't face the political consequences of their foreknowledge of illegal events. Actually they don't want you to know that they are not the leaders, they are the minions of our true leaders and owners.
Paragraph 3, the URL points to Apple.com, not to the detailed report about Audi AG, Auto Union AG.
The is quite clear that murder requires more than fines. Any afirmative action set up an aristocracy. Equality means that each generation must stand on it's own and there high estate taxes and public education for that.
The guilty should have been killed when they where alive. A very few where. There is no way to right murder.
No mention of US firms?
This is almost as good as yesterday's Reuters "news" story about the Russians role in winning WWII – that made no mention of Stalingrad!
This amateur rah-rah America propaganda belongs in first-grade storybooks for boys, not in a major international news outlet.
I mean, it is laughable!
Actually I am surprised that BASF wasn't mentioned. They are the ones who produces Zyklon-B that was used in the gas chambers.
A simple reason companies finance their own history is its been long enough ago not to damage their brand or deal with survivor repercussions. I work for a US company which had some serious racial and segregation issues in the 1960′s. I worked in a company where the company historian floated some idea's about exposing and researching some factory practices from 1940′s to 1960′s. The entire management agreed that it was a good idea to do the research but felt that there were too many people still in the company and workers alive – to where our effort to be good corporate citizens would backfire with negative repercussions. We agreed that its probably a project for 20 years down the road. I think we have reached that point with WWII.
Another omission was the Bush family's involvement with the Hitler and company.
The article also left out Nestlé. Nestlé, is a Swiss company, which was supposed to be neutral. However I believe that it has been documented that Nestlé provided support, supplies and equipment to the Third Reich.
And how about IBM who designed the punch card system to keep track of populations of the concentration camps. Or the rest of the american and western european companies that took part in misery profit making. Or Caterpiller who up until today design special bulldozers for the Isreali army to demolish Palestinean homes. War profiteering vis a vie fascism still goes on to this day. I'm glad we have closure over past events, how about concetrating on today's autrocities instead.
We should not bring up things from WWII that were moral issues then or now. Just things that were illegal then.
Otherwise you are unfairly judging people with hindsight.
Look up Bayer's history. They've made more than aspirin.
"But while President Bush publicly embraced the community of holocaust survivors in Washington last spring, he and his family have been keeping a secret from them for over 50 years about Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather. According to classified documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an heir to these profits from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in 1980 by his father, former president George Herbert Walker Bush.
Throughout the Bush family's decades of public life, the American press has gone out of its way to overlook one historical fact – that through Union Banking Corporation (UBC), Prescott Bush, and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, along with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, financed Adolf Hitler before and during World War II. It was first reported in 1994 by John Loftus and Mark Aarons in The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People."

@tiu – thank you for sharing this link! I (and 99% of America) had no idea …….
And so I guess I should send money to northern Ireland in reparation for what my Viking ancestors did to that portion of the world? Give me a break. I'm responsible for my actions and no one else's, not my father's, not my grandfather's. This politically correct "let's all apologize and feel better" drivel is disgusting.

This is a virtually new unit removed from a new 2010 Toyota Tacoma one week after purchase. Toyota part # 86120-04180. Manufactured April 2010. Tested & guaranteed working. The face and controls are flawless (no cosmetic imperfections of any kind) and the display lens is pristine. This unit directly supports Satellite Radio - just add a Satellite-Radio tuner & antenna. It has a built-in 6-Disc CD changer that plays CDs, MP3 & WMA discs. It also directly supports an AUX-IN port (rear connector) for your iPod or MP3 player.

Friday, March 01
Verizon Center
Attendance: 20,308
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Carmelo Anthony poured in a game-high 30 points on Friday to help the New York Knicks notch a 96-88 victory over the Washington Wizards at Verizon Center.
Raymond Felton followed with 23 points and six assists, while J.R. Smith added 13 points and 12 rebounds off the bench for the Knicks, who have won three straight on the heels of a four-game skid.
"We just got a lot more aggressive with them," said Tyson Chandler, on how New York held Washington to just 11 fourth quarter points. "We were smarter down the stretch, executed our defensive plan and forced some tough shots."
Bradley Beal posted a double-double with a career-high 29 points and 11 boards, while John Wall netted 16 points and handed out six assists in Washington's second straight setback.
"I was just trying to make plays," said Beal. "I was in the zone and I was just trying to do whatever it took to get the team rolling."
The Wizards carried a 77-73 edge after three quarters before the Knicks opened the final frame on a 14-2 spurt that Anthony capped with a putback layup to make it 87-79 with 6:46 to play.
Washington answered with a 7-0 sprint to pull within one on Beal's 3-pointer with 4:03 remaining, but the Wizards failed to register a field goal the rest of the way, allowing the Knicks to escape with the victory.
Early on, a Beal jumper with just over three minutes remaining in the first provided the home team with a 21-17 edge, but Steve Novak and Smith combined on a 9-0 surge to help the Knicks take a 26-23 edge after 12 minutes.
It remained nip-and-tuck throughout the second, with neither team building a lead higher than four until the Knicks closed the half on a 9-0 run behind back-to-back 3-pointers from Smith to take a 54-48 cushion into the break.
New York maintained its advantage for much of the third and led by nine, 69-60, with 4:41 to play before a Trevor Ariza 3-pointer sparked a 15-2 Washington run that Beal capped with a triple of his own to give the Wizards a 75-71 lead with 44 seconds left in the third quarter.

Photo of the Week: Ugandan Cotton Business Thrives
September 06, 2013
A cotton processor is tapping into new markets, creating hundreds of jobs and sourcing from thousands of smallholder farmers in eastern Uganda.
Moses Kwijuka is the finance manager for Mutuma Commercial Agencies Ltd., a cotton processing business in eastern Uganda that employs more than 230 people and buys cotton from 6,000 smallholder farmers. TechnoServe worked with Mutuma to identify a new market opportunity: absorbent cotton wool for the medical industry. Our business advisors helped develop a business plan that would allow Mutuma to make and sell the cotton wool at profit margins three times higher than those for cotton lint.
TechnoServe also helped farmers in the area increase their cotton yields and form farmer business groups. With a productive and organized group of suppliers, and a profitable new product line, Mutuma has become a driver of economic growth for the Kiyunga area.
Learn more about TechnoServe's work with Mutuma.

The collaboration between TRI and the Oregon Department of Education on Post School Outcomes began in 2004 when Teaching Research Institute received a Federal Grant to design and build the system to track educational and employment outcomes for special education students leaving Oregon's high schools. The Post-Secondary experiences of former students provides educators with a measure of the quality of the preparation the district gave their students for work and continued learning after secondary school. Outcomes include attending 2 or 4 year college programs, being competitively employed, attending other educational or training programs, working in other jobs, and not being engaged in either education or employment one year after leaving. Phone interviews with the former students or family members are used to gather the information.

Preventing impossible clicks
Good one: link rot on a news site or blog is an interesting use case for managing potential 404 conditions - basically the case is one where the site owner does not control the content the URI refers to. In general though, wouldn't it be such that "most users" would not prefer a link-to-404 result even on such a site? |
