It Is A Matter Of National Survival: 55 Reasons Why You Should Buy Products That Are Made In America This Holiday Season
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward

Most often you can't find goods that are made in America.
You can't trust the label or can't determine that the Made in America is owned by a foreign country? My old Chrysler was made in Canada with parts that were made in Mexico. Even Enterman's baked goods (and possibly Hostess in the near future) is owned by Bimbo - a Mexican company. How many "American" Beer and Spirits companies are now owned by Mexican companies???

It's over, as far as the, "U.S.A.," goes.
In the, "big plan," the U.S. is at the top of the hit list to bring down, gut, so The New Thing can, "be."
There are others further (some much) down that list.
Eventually they too will be gotten to.
For those who have the means, it is possible to relocate and hedge a bet that they will have x amount of years before where they have re-positioned themselves, "goes."
It really is this way for thinking individuals.

To our American Friends
northspruce(z3a MB CDA)July 4, 2007
Happy 4th of July to our friends down south! (I didn't post this in conversations because I'm not sure how many people read it)
glen3a(Winnipeg MB 3A)
Happy fourth!
From my part of town I have a distant view of the city center so saw fireworks on Canada day. I didn't really get the full impact, as they were on the horizon but not overhead. Then, the kids in my neighborhood keep setting off firecrackers. I think the store down the street sells them. It's a bit startling, but Thankfully my dog isn't scared of the sudden banging noises.

One of, if not THE best biography I have read and top among most of the books I have read, fiction or non-fiction.
Chernow has a way of allowing the reader to glimpse the perspective of Washington as he struggled through the various chapters of his life,
All of Scott Brick's performances are masterful. When selecting books, I start with Brick's works and then search for a title.
As the original Founding Father of our country, Washington's life has always been surrounded by myth and legend. Chernow deftly pulls apart the fact from the fiction in a way that makes you feel that you had just spent time with Washington himself, getting his personal views on an amazing time in US history.
"Masterfully narrated and very educational"
Better than expected.
Probably that Washington fellow.
I have to admit I felt tingly when describing some of the heroic exploits of the Revolution, such as the Battle of Trenton.
Historical biographies are often a crapshoot, some being dull but informative, some being interesting but thin on the ground. This may be one of the best I've ever read, or listened, to. I came away frankly amazed by how little I previously knew about the Father of America, and by how the common, apocryphal legends of the man persist in the national consciousness while he essentially spent close to half a century pulling off one amazing, incredible and innovative exploit after another, even in the midst of his failures, and quite a few of them I had barely heard of, if at all. While there was easily detectable bias in that the narrative takes an unabashedly favorable view of the man and his achievements, it still leaves the reader in no doubt that, while Washington is appreciated as being a Founding Father and the leader of the Continental Army, this book makes it quite clear that few, if any, individuals were more personally responsible for the success of the American experiment, and by extension, helping to shape the world as we today know it. It was a success both in writing and in narration and I highly recommend it.
"A Great Read and History Lesson in One!"
This is one of the best books that I've ever read on George Washington and I thought that it was just fantastic! I felt as if I was right there marching through Valley Forge or sitting around Mount Vernon observing history first hand.
A great read and nice history lesson in one!
"An Excellent Biography."
This is a great book that every American should read. It exemplifies why we should be grateful to the Founders of our Republic. Chernow turns George Washington from the one dimensional character of myth into the complex man whose vision and sacrifice helped create a nation. After listening to this book you will understand why George Washington is the father of our country. Scott Bricks narration was perfect, I highly recommend this book.
"What a gift..."
The narration is flawless...Mr. Brick's voice is how I would imagine Washington's would be.
I passed every history test I ever took, and retained nothing. Now at this stage of life I desire knowing how this great country came to be, and this book gives that information from the perspective of its father.
Washington! Also the dynamic between Alexander Hamilton and George Washington was portrayed magnificently. Mr. Brick gave by far the best audiobook performance I have experienced to date.
I often cried at the impeccable work ethic and moral fortitude that gave birth to the free life I know today. I am infintely grateful to this book's author and the narrator for devoting themselves to producing it.
I no longer feel utterly ignorant about my country's history, and now am enjoying a newborn curiosity about what happened next, after the era of President Washington. I also wish I could learn to speak as eloquently as they all did then...our language has gorgeous roots.
"Great biography!"
Honest, fair appraisal
Ron Chernow's biography of Hamilton - the two books dovetail nicely, in covering much fo the same territory through different perspectives.
"Relevant and Comprehensive"
This was a long book but I listened to it intently and through to the end. So much of Washington's history is relevant to our politics today, especially when the supposed wishes and desires of the Founding Fathers are hurled about so casually. With the focus (obviously) on Washington, the book fills in many of the gaps I had in my knowledge of the early days of our country. Chernow does a good job of portraying a very admirable Washington without glossing over his shortcomings and human foibles. He also does a good job of trying to describe the mind-boggling and inexplicable oxymoron of the harsh slave owner who is at the same time against slavery as an institution. All in all a good and worthwhile book.
"A Great Book about A Great Man"
Cheers to Ron Chernow who fascinated me for a two month listening period and made me understand how great a figure in American history was George Washington. His description of Washington's rise to head the Continental Army and his bravery and loyalty to his rag tag army is spectacular. The description of the Continental Congress as it lurched toward democracy is so well told. The infighting of the colonial politicians is as bad as the current status. When a well known cabinet member refused to go to Washington's funeral you understand what when on. Five Stars all around.
"Deeply researched, the man, not the myth!"
I have found this book a riveting listen during my daily commute over the past few weeks. A lengthy tome, it kept my interest by revealing the President and First Lady as the real people they were, challenged by the finances, the slavery question, and the pivotal roles they played in the creation of country and a new form of government. A must read for anyone seeking to understand the formation of our country and the dynamics of the Revolutionary Era.
Faced with mindless duty, when an audio book player slips into a rear pocket and mini buds pop into ears, old is made new again.
Ron Chernow is a respected biographer. He has written biographies of J.P. Morgan, The Warburgs, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Hamilton, and now ???Washington: A Life???, a 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner for biography.
Chernow provides fascinating glimpses of George Washington, the surveyor, the slave holder, the Virginia Scion, the first President of the United States. Information about America???s great revolution is worth a near 42 hour listen. Like Schiff???s biography of ???Cleopatra???, a reader/listener does learn a great deal about documented facts of a great historical figure. But Washington, like Cleopatra to this reviewer, remains a mystery.

Of course: Photo ID required to attend NAACP protest of N.C. voter ID law
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Here's the latest from the "do as we say not as we do" bureau by way of the Daily Caller and Sister Toldjah:
North Carolinians marching to protest voter-ID laws must present a valid photo ID to participate in an NAACP-hosted protest against voter-ID laws in Raleigh on Saturday.
The central claim among the protesters is that the voter-ID laws disenfranchise certain segments of the voting population, particularly minority voters and poor voters.
According to official NAACP flyers passed out at the rally, protesters must carry the precise kind of ID that they would be expected to present at the voting booth.
Here's the flyer for the anti voter-ID rally:
Irony is not among the disenfranchised.
At a 2012 event, the NAACP required two pieces of ID from media in order to attend a speech by Eric Holder to hear him talk in part about how voter-ID laws are unfair.

Tommy Kendall retires from driving, but will still be active in other roles
Jan 5, 2014, 11:11 AM EST
Somewhat quietly – in fact, based on a fan's inquiry on Twitter – was the other half of the SRT Viper endurance race driver announcement broached. The announcement Ryan Hunter-Reay and Rob Bell would serve as SRT Motorsports' endurance drivers in 2014 meant that Tommy Kendall, a sports car legend and veteran of the sport, will be retiring from driving. Ryan Dalziel, SRT's other 2013 endurance driver, will race full time with the Extreme Speed Motorsports outfit in the 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.
Kendall, 47, attended the production car's launch in April 2012, and then won in a shootout over some other qualified drivers to be named one of SRT's race drivers for its return to racing with the new Viper. The car premiered at the Mid-Ohio American Le Mans Series race in August 2012.
"Talk about out of nowhere. When asked before, 'Would you ever drive again,' it was always a 'qualified yes,'" Kendall explained to me in a 2012 interview. "I'd say, 'Well no, I miss it, and I enjoy it, but I'm not missing it so much I'll drop everything I'm doing to put it all together.
"Since that call (from Bill Riley), I've been working on my fitness, now here we are," he added. "There's the chance and it's funny how things like that work. I pinch myself because here I am driving, arguably, the most beautiful sports car out there right now with a team like Riley, and the backing of SRT."
Kendall drove the balance of the 2012 season and served as endurance race third driver at Sebring, Petit Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2013. All the while, Kendall continued to attend most events in an ambassadorial role for the SRT brand; that's a role that is likely to expand going forward.
Kendall explained the decision in a phone call Sunday morning.
"I don't look at it as bittersweet. You'd love to stay 25 forever and ever," he said. "Last year I almost stopped. It was difficult to only drive every 3 months. So really it was best for all involved, to get someone super sharp in there, it was a win-win really."
He also called his last start at Le Mans "kind of a victory lap" but expressed how fortunate he was to have that opportunity.
In his most successful and memorable race season, Kendall swept the first 11 races of the 13-race 1997 Trans-Am season en route to his third straight championship. His No. 11 All Sport Ford Mustang remains one of that series' most iconic cars, and that 11-win total remains a series record.
Kendall was also a pioneer as one of the "NASCAR road race ringers," making 14 career Sprint Cup starts from 1987 to 1998. His 1996 Sonoma start came in place of an injured Bill Elliott. An eighth place at Watkins Glen in 1990 marked his career best finish.
He's also served as a color commentator to various broadcasts, primarily American open-wheel and some sports car races. His wit, insights and sense of humor have made him a fan favorite.
We wish "TK" well in all his new endeavors going forward, and we know we'll still see him at a track.
@RM_Andrews @PMPRacing7 @lainey_vb131 @TheHestercution Thank you. You are all very kind. Yes, it was on my terms. #itsallgood

Shia LaBeouf Stays in Shape With a Shirtless Exercise Session
Shia LaBeouf bared his abs yesterday during a shirtless jog in LA. The lucky actor took advantage of the 70-degree January weather, though he was covered up slightly with high socks and now-standard facial scruff. He's sported the hairy look since wrapping Transformers: Dark of the Moon late last year. Shia's now able to enjoy some downtime, which allows him to line up new roles and have late nights with his lady friends — and it sounds like one member of young Hollywood, Miranda Cosgrove, would love to be a part of his social circle.

OMG!! I loooooove beards! LOVE THEM!!! My husband's not allowed to shave his. The one time he did, my gut reaction was floods of tears when he walked through the door. I didn't recognize him and it terrified me...lol. Here, I thought a beard could make ANYONE look hawt..lol. Yeah. Boy was I wrong. Good Lord Shia-you look oooooold. Like in his 50's/60's? Old for him. The beard ages him badly. For a movie, I hope???? *crossingfingers*

Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd said it filed for prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after struggling with weak rates due to an oversupply of vessels. The drybulk shipper said it expected its operations to continue normally and did not require debtor-in-possession finance. Lenders backing a $1.06 billion credit facility would convert their debt into about 81.1 percent of company's stock, the company said earlier this month. Genco said on Monday Baltic Trading Ltd, a company formed by Genco, and its units are not included in the restructuring program. Genco listed total assets of about $2.46 billion and liabilities of $1.46 billion, as of Feb. 28, according to its bankruptcy petition. The company joins a growing list of shipping companies that have been struggling as charter rates have been depressed by a glut of large new vessels.

Great location near shops and restaurants. Great bar Happy Hour. Great concierge with lots of helpful suggestions.
Hotel was overbooked and didn't have any more rooms with double beds or extra cots. We were in the older looking tower near the elevator which was slightly noisy. Also, the $33 valet parking charge is significantly higher than other hotels in the area.

The staff were friendly and the room itself was ok
The rooms were really small and way too much furniture in them. Two chest of drawers and 2 TV's one in each room - seriously get rid of one chest of drawers and one TV jssut to get some more room in the tiny room. It would have been much nicer.
The water fountains for the pool were broken for the whole 2 weeks we stayed there. We informed them the first day - stillnot working 14 days later - not good. On hte bright side their Gym was great, everything in good working order, all equipment really new and well maintained.

Lander has completed online and offline ID verification.
Tous les ingrédients pour un super séjour à Bruges : -un hôte super accueillant, avec pleins d'infos et de conseils sur les choses à faire/à manger/à boire, -une belle et agréable maison, parfaite pour notre groupe de 5 personnes, -le petit-déj copieux à disposition, -le centre-ville et la gare à quelques minutes à pieds. Bref, on a aimé et on recommande vivement !
Notre séjour a été parfait. Un guide de la maison nous a été envoyé avant l'arrivée pour faciliter notre séjour. La maison est très agréable et parfaite pour 5 personnes. Tout est proche, que ce soit le centre historique, la gare centrale ou le parking pour la voiture. Le bar quelques numéros plus bas est très sympa.
we had a fantastic time, Lander gave us a map with lots of personal recommendations on places of interest, bars and restaurants. The place is really lovely, bigger than it looks in the pictures and closer to the station and town centre than we thought. He even gave us a bottle of prosecco as it was my friend's birthday! It is a perfect place for a short stay... hopefully we 'll be back at some point!
L'accueil de notre hôte était très chaleureuse. Il nous a très bien conseillé sur Bruges et quoi faire. Le frigo et la cuisine sont pleins et en "open bar" !
Lander was a great host: Very relaxed, welcoming and knowledgable. Ive enjoyed my stay!
We had a great weekend in Bruges at Landers house. Landers was at the house to greet us and gave us a lot of information about the best places to see, eat and drink in Bruges. The house was so big and spacious for our group of five and was only a short walk into town and from the train station.
Lander was an excellent host. We loved the apartment and it was perfect for our group trip to Bruges. He was very accommodating and even sat and had a beer with us on arrival whilst explaining the key sites of Bruges. Very central location and easy walk to the main squares.
This was a great apartment for 2 couples and a single person. Lander was very knowledgable and welcoming. He provided breakfast & juice/milk which was very generous. About 15 min walk to Bruge Square. Free parking outside apartment. Comfortable and modern apartment. Not for children though due to the stairs. Would definitely recommed for a small-medium size group.
Our experience in Bruge was brilliant and the majority of it was down to Lander's hospitality and guidance. Lander was incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. The house looks even better in real life - its massive and the design is very unique. Lander gave us loads of useful information about where to go in Bruge and he was a brilliant help to making our trip to Bruge an amazing one :). Thanks Lander!
Ciao Ragazzi, Lander è un ragazzo fantastico, molto disponibile ed ospitale. La sua casa è meravigliosa e rende molto più dal vivo che in foto. Grazie di tutto Lander, soprattutto per il frigo pieno di birre!! ;)
Lander and his girlfriend were great guests. They are pleasant, kind, nice and communicative young people. We had a great time with them. They were very warm and brought great energy to our house. They are very friendly and easy-going. They took good care of the apartment and I would welcome them back any time. I can recommend them highly to other Airbnb hosts!
Nice guy to have as guest. Good communicating too. Altijd welkom.
Lander hosted me in Bruges and it was fantastic. He's a very tidy and respectful person and has a great sense of humour. He provided the guests with a lot of information about Bruges and also a delicious breakfast. We were so lucky that he served us a typical local dinner as well.
Lander is the best host you can ever imagine, he will spoil you with a nice breakfast, show you around, offer you maps and give you tips of the places you can't miss in Bruges! I'm in love with the house, it's superclean, big, cosy garden... I could definitely live there :)

SAA to take delivery of six new Airbus A330-200s in 2011BackEngineering|System|Service
© Reuse this
All six aircraft would be delivered in 2011 and it was anticipated that SAA would take delivery of the first aircraft in January or February next year. Speaking to Engineering News Online SAA acting head of group corporate affairs Vimla Maistry said that the deal would boost the company's recent gains it had achieved through a successful restructuring programme. The twin engine A330 was one of the most extensively used longhaul aircraft in service today and would replace SAA's six A340-200s. "The new aircraft will be built and configured to SAA's specification, featuring a refreshed cabin interior and an enhanced in-flight entertainment system ensuring that we continue to have a young, world-class fleet," said Maistry. The new modern fleet would consume significantly less fuel, whichmeant that SAA would emit reduced levels of carbon and nitrous oxide, the most significant contribution to airline emissions. Speaking at a press briefing in Cape Town on Thursday, French Trade Minister Anne-Marie Idrac said that this deal represented a main partnership between South African and French companies.

"Dinner Christmas Eve was very special at the Teahouse. Our watiress was most charming and made our evening extra special. Intermittent Carollers entertained us and the ambience in the restaurant was very enjoyable. We have eaten here on numerous occassions and have never been dissappointed. Our food was nicely presented, timely and delicious. We will return and look forward to many more special evenings with family and friends. - Reviewed on Trip Advisor"
"We've been to the Teahouse numerous times, and have never been disappointed. The setting is gorgeous, of course: in the heart of Stanley Park, west-facing views of the water and North Shore mountains, set in a historical officer's garrison. However, the Teahouse experience is about so much more than the setting. The food is always delicious, perfectly prepared, letting the main ingredients shine rather than smothering them in sauces and excess. This time we had the miso-glazed sablefish and the sockeye salmon special - excellent. And the staff here are not only professional and efficient, but warm and welcoming (unlike many other top shelf restaurants). If you happen to be served by the delightful Jacqueline or Fil, you are very lucky. Staff have worked here for decades, which speaks volumes about a place. The Teahouse offers a consistently lovely experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to return or to bring guests here. - Reviewed on Yelp "
"Great restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent, and we were more than happy with the meals. I can recommend the crab & shrimp salad or the mussels. The tables are surrounded by large bay windows which look out over the park and the harbour beyond. It's a very nice location, and a great place to stop for lunch while you're exploring Stanley Park."
""On my bucket list...and finally went!" I grew up in Vancouver and always wanted to go to this restaurant. Its location is magical...deep in the prettiest park in the world! We went at exactly the right time...as the sun was setting over the ocean. Superb! We had the special that night....an amazing halibut dinner, done to perfection! This is now one of the most memorable dinners we have had. Great service, wonderful pre dinner cocktails, a great entree and a lovely cheesecake for dessert. Perfect! - Reviewed on Trip Advisor."

Conyers, U.S. House Dems push bill to protect workers in municipal bankruptcy
Democrats in the U.S. House are seeking to protect local-government workers in bankruptcy proceedings, responding to the record collapse in Detroit that's poised to reduce city workers' retirement benefits.
A bill by Michigan Rep. John Conyers, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, and three other Democrats would strengthen the threshold for negotiations with workers before a filing could be approved. It would also require employees to consent to changes to contracts, including pension and health care benefits.
"When a city files for bankruptcy, its dedicated public employees — the policemen, firefighters and workers who selflessly served their city for years — are at risk of having their hard-earned wages, pensions and health benefits reduced or even eliminated entirely," Conyers, whose district includes Detroit, said in a statement Thursday.
Detroit filed for court protection a year ago today after decades of population decline left it unable to pay its debts. The filing led to a court fight between workers and retirees over the city's diminished resources.
While such cases are rare, several local governments, including Stockton, Calif., and Jefferson County, Ala., turned to courts too after the recession that ended in 2009 strained their finances.
The record filing by Detroit, with $18 billion in debt, drew opposition from public employees facing cuts to benefits as a result of the federal court proceedings, even though state law protects them.
Conyers said the legislation is intended to make it tougher for localities to use bankruptcy proceedings to get out of union agreements. Two Senate Democrats — West Virginia's Jay Rockefeller and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — have also introduced legislation making it more difficult to cut retiree benefits in bankruptcy.

Album: Rihanna, Loud (Mercury)
Perhaps trying to distance it from the darker world of sexual violence that dominated Rated R, Rihanna has described Loud as "really sassy and flirty", though listening to tracks like the masochist drama "Love the Way You Lie" and the bluntly-titled "S&M", this seems somewhat disingenuous.
As it is, the more interesting tracks are those with less salacious demands on her vulnerability, such as the big break-up power-ballad "California King Bed", which features her best vocal performance. But "sassy" just about sums up the weekend-starts-here anthem "Cheers (Drink to That)". However, there's a huge gulf between the rote emotions of the album's Stargate-produced electro-stomp hits and the electrifying appearance of Eminem on the concluding "Love the Way You Lie": it's like someone's put a rocket underneath the track, scorching all that went before.
