AVCHD 3D and Progressive update
The AVCHD Format Co-Promoters (the owners of the AVCHD Format) have just released an update to the AVCHD Spec that covers 3D, Progessive and 3D Progressive.
Panasonic started shipping 3D cameras using 'side by side' encoding in 2010 and Sony joined the 3D race in March 2011 with Full HD 3D which means two video channels are used (instead of side by side recording).
The Sony approach uses a 50i or 60i video stream capturing 25 or 30 interlaced frames per second, per side.
AVCHD now supports a true 3D mode, but until we see the new spec we don't know whether the official AVCHD 3D mode will be side-by-side, Full HD or both.
AVCHD Progressive
Panasonic again was first with this format to the camcorder market and now Sony camcorders support 50p and 60p shooting. We have supported Panasonic 1080/50p and 1080/60p since last year but now we'll have a spec to see exactly what is going in with this videos.
AVCHD 3D Progressive
This one is new to us. We will have to see the spec to know what this is all about, but we're guessing it's 3D 50p and 60p support, so that each video channel (one for each eye) is a progressive video stream.
Next Steps
It's good to see AVCHD finally formalise the 3D and Progressive video formats which have been shipping for over 6 months now. We have to go through the paperwork now to get licenced under the new AVCHD Spec, then we will check out how it all works.
Once we have access to the official AVCHD spec we will post another update.
Cosmos upgrade out now!
FREE Upgrade to Cosmos for Mac and iOS
We've just released a major update to Cosmos on both the Mac and iPhone/iPad.

Final Cut Pro X AVCHD support
Final Cut Pro X is here!
Today we fired up Final Cut Pro X for the first time to see how it goes with AVCHD editing and support.
Getting Started
Final Cut Pro X looks a lot more like iMovie than the old Final Cut Pro.
On startup, you have the Event Library in the top left. This Event Library looks just the same as the iMovie Event Library that you see down the bottom of the iMovie window.
The Final Cut Pro X Event Library replaces the previous Asset Browser window, so that you can now browse assets from all of your imported Events, rather than assets from the open Project only.
In the bottom of the Final Cut Pro X window you have a Project browser, which is similar to the Project Browser you see up in the top left of iMovie. This allows you to open Projects from within Final Cut Pro X rather than loading each Project from the filesystem.
Overall, Final Cut Pro X is very similar to iMovie in the way it deals with Events and Projects. iMovie users will find it much easier moving up to Final Cut Pro X than moving up to the old Final Cut Pro 7.
AVCHD support
FCPX claims 'Native AVCHD Support'. What does this mean?
FCPX can import AVCHD video from an AVCHD camcorder. The difference this time is that FCPX does not have to convert to ProRes as part of the import workflow.
Note that the import process does 'rewrap' the AVCHD video file to a QuickTime container. This means that the video and audio streams from the file are unaltered, but they are re-wrapped to a QuickTime format.
A nice option on Import is the ability to 'Create Optimised Media' when importing. This allows you to convert to ProRes on the way in, if thats what you still want to do. Going to ProRes will still be important when working on older, lower powered Macs.
Final Cut Pro X will still not import a stand-alone AVCHD video file. Importing AVCHD still requires access to the original AVCHD camcorder, or a valid Camera Archive disk structure.
Once you get through the import process, editing is smooth and easy. No rendering is required - the AVCHD just works.
We haven't done extensive edit testing yet - that will come soon. We will look at mixing AVCHD formats (e.g. 1080p and 720p) on the timeline.
Exporting your finished Movie
FCPX gives you some basic exporting options from within the application, but to do anything fancy you still need to use Compressor. Compressor is a Apple's full-featured video converter available via the App Store.
FCPX now includes AVCHD DVD exporting from the Share menu. You can take a project and create an AVCHD DVD which will play back on most Blu-ray players. You can also create a Blu-ray disc, but you need to have an external Blu-ray burner for this.
FCPX is now $300 US. Compressor (multi-purpose video converter) and Motion (for titles and special effects) are $50 each. No sign yet of Color (used for colour correction and tuning in video), but Color is only for Pros.
That brings the new 'Final Cut Studio' equivalent to the grand total of $400, down from $1,200 for its previous version.
FCPX, Compressor and Motion are only available on the Mac App Store. This is great news as you only have to buy it once and you get it on all your machines. Its not such good news if you installed Final Cut Pro across many machines under different Apple IDs in the past (not that anyone would do that).
As a side note, Compressor is now available for the first time as a stand-alone app. This means that for $50 US, you can now have a top quality video converter from Apple without having to buy Final Cut Pro as well.
What happened to Final Cut Express?
Final Cut Express used to be $200 compared to $1200 for Final Cut Studio. With FCPX now down to $300, Apple doesn't need to provide a 'budget' version of Final Cut. At $300, FCPX is now a realistic 'step up' option for home video editing enthusiasts as well as any video editor that needs something more than iMovie.
Wrap up
Final Cut Pro X now supports native editing of AVCHD video, but still requires you to import from a Camera or Camera Archive. If you have stand-alone AVCHD (.MTS) video files, you are stuck.
You can now create AVCHD DVDs from a Final Cut Pro X project. These DVDs will play in Full HD on most Blu-ray players sold today.
Final Cut Pro X contains improved, but not complete AVCHD support. Final Cut Pro X still does not support the workflow of 'Editor to HDTV playback' without going through a Blu-ray player or AppleTV (not that AppleTVs are anywhere near Full HD capable). The Shedworx Full HD playback workflow is still the best way to go straight from an edited Project to playback on a HDTV.
Overall, Final Cut Pro X is far easier to get started with than its predecessor, Final Cut Pro 7. It will be interesting to see what the Pros think of it, but for the prosumer and part-time video editor, Final Cut Pro X is a winner.
3D Editing on a Mac - RevolverHD
Panasonic was first to the home 3D camera market with its HDC-SDT750 (also called the TM750) 3D camcorder. We put up a quick review back in November 2010 and now it's time to show you how to edit 3D!
The Panasonic camcorder came with some software to do importing from the camera and simple edits on a PC but, as usual, nothing for the Mac. We've updated both Cosmos and RevolverHD to take care of this. |
First, go and shoot some footage. Keep in mind the limitations of 3D - there is no zoom and the depth of field is quite shallow so you need to keep your subject between 6 and 10 feet away.
Once you have your footage, it's time to get it off the camera and into your Mac.
If you want to try this 3D game out, but you don't have a 3D camera, feel free to download our sample disk image containing 3D footage straight from our camera. You will need a Panansonic 3D TV to view the results though.
There are two ways to do this - using Cosmos or doing a manual copy from the camera's filesystem to your Mac.
Fire up Cosmos and plug in your camera. Cosmos will do the rest!
Manual Import
Plug in your camera and wait for the SD Card to mount as a drive. Drill into the drive and go into PRIVATE/AVCHD/STREAM to find the video clips. Copy the whole lot to your hard drive somewhere for safe keeping, then eject and switch off your camera.
Now load up your clips into RevolverHD. If you use Cosmos to import and manage your clips, just navigate to the album containing your clips and right click to 'Send to Revolver'.
If you imported manually, find your MTS video clips and drag them onto RevolverHD.
Once your clips are in RevolverHD you can run a preview and set in/out points to trim the clips as required. If you find some dud clips in there, just remove them from the list.
Your simple edit is now complete and it's time to export.
We have added a special TV Export option for Panasonic TVs to create the file structure that Panasonic requires for 3D playback.
The export that you create will playback directly on the TV, straight from your USB drive, so go and find a USB drive and stick it in your Mac.
Click on TV Export in RevolverHD. On the next screen select Panasonic as the TV type and select your USB Drive as the destination for your Export.
RevolverHD now does its magic, trimming your clips then putting them into a structure to play back on your TV.
Eject your drive and plug it into your 3D Panasonic TV. Enjoy!
The process described here works just as well for regular 2D high definition video too. For quick edits and perfect quality HD playback, its a great way to go.
Digital SLR vs Camcorder video - which is the best for you?
For the past 12 months we've been using our regular HD Camcorders and also some of the new Digital SLR video cameras.
The Digital SLRs are very impressive video cameras, but there's some gotchas.
This review pits the Panasonic GH-1 Digital SLR against the Panasonic HDC-SDT750 (also sold as the TM750) HD Camcorder.
The TM750 weighs in at 450g while the GH-1 is 850g. In fact, the GH-1 lens weighs more than the entire TM750. If you've ever had to shoot a long scene with your camcorder, this is a big deal. In our real world tests, it is easy to hold up the TM750 in one hand for long periods. The GH-1 takes two hands to hold it for for long periods and eventually gets too hard!
The TM750 camcorder has powered zoom while the DSLR is manual. This means that you really can't zoom while shooting with the DSLR, while its easy with the camcorder. Even on a tripod, zooming on the DSLR moves the camera far too much to keep shooting.
The DSLR has a narrow depth of field (DOF) which gives you the 'professional' look where your subject is in focus while the background isn't. The problem with this is that the camera has to work hard to auto focus, especially in a moving scene.
The camcorders on the other hand have a very wide depth of field (like a compact still camera) so don't need to do much at all to keep the subject in focus.
The result of all this is that DSLRs really struggle in high movement scenes while the camcorders do a very good job.
Shooting Conditions
In a crowd
Because of it's narrow DOF, the DSLR will find it impossible to auto-focus into a crowd scene. It will always focus on the nearest person, leaving everyone else out of focus. If you have to shoot someone in a crowd you will have to go to manual focus. Manual focus isn't easy with a video camera.
The camcorders do a good job in a crowd because the whole crowd will be in focus, so you can just zoom right in to your subject.
Action scenes
In fast moving scenes the DSLR falls down again because of it's need to continually auto focus. Te camcorders shine again due to their limited need to change focus as subjects move around.
Powered zoom on the camcorder lets you shoot one-handed and zoom, allowing you to keep tracking your subject. The DSLR requires two hands to hold and zoom, and you will probably lose your subject when you bump the camera around.
Video Quality
For this article I'm going to look at video quality under action or high-movement scenes. This is the technical bit of the article. The short answer is the GH-1 struggles while the TM750 does a good job. Read on to find out whats going on under the hood...
When shooting video yourself, panning is not good. You should avoid panning as a rule since it creates too much movement and the consumer cameras just can't handle it.
Having said that, if you want to take a sport or action video, panning has to happen.
DSLR video cameras (and cheaper camcorders) suffer from what is known as 'rolling shutter'. This is caused by the image sensor taking some time to record each frame, and the sensors scans from top to bottom. It means that the image recorded at the bottom of the frame is slightly different to the image recorded at the top.
Camcorders are less prone to this due to a number of reasons but the main one being that the high-end consumer camcorders use multiple sensors (rather than one for the DSLRs) and have built-in processing software to deal with this.
Rolling shutter, and a number of other problems that come up with fast panning, can be reduced on any DSLR by using a higher frame rate (the GH-1 can shoot at 50 frames per second) and higher shutter speeds. The manual controls on the DSLR video cameras are very good and you can control shutter speed, just like shooting still photos. If you do this remember that shutter speed on a video camera works the same as for your still photos - go too quick and you will not get enough light.
With its 3 sensors and better video capture, the TM750 camcorder easily out-performs the GH-1 in this area. Its more than out-performing too. Fast action shots at Full HD (1920x1080, 25fps) on the GH-1 just don't work. The quality is almost unwatchable.
The Panasonic GH-1 got rave reviews from Indy filmmakers all over the world because it gave them professional video results with a $1,500 camera. These rave reviews made it look like the new DSLRs would take over the home video world.
Under ideal conditions (like you get when shooting a movie) the GH-1 is outstanding. See our Parrot video for a sample. Put a DSLR video camera in the real world and the story isn't so good.
Throw in busy scenes, fast moving subjects, camera panning and low light and the traditional camcorders look a lot better.
If you need a video camera for all those usual things like family events, sports, holidays and so on, I recommend a top of the line HD camcorder. Panasonic is still our number one choice, but you won't go wrong with a Canon or Sony.
If you want to get creative and take control over your movies, the Digital SLR can be for you.
For me, it's back to the HD camcorder for regular video shooting. The GH-1 will be our special project camera.
Final Cut Pro X coming soon
Final Cut Pro X is due for release anytime now - even Apple is talking about June 2011.
What does this mean for you?
We will be doing a review as soon as it comes out to let you know exactly how FCPX fits in with your workflow and the Shedworx product line.
Final Cut Express no more
Firstly, it looks like Final Cut Express will disappear. This means home users looking for 'something better than iMovie' will have to shell out $300 instead of $200. We've been using Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro here at Shedworx for years now and for the home or semi-pro user, there is no practical difference between Final Cut Express and Pro.
So, it will be more $ required to move up from iMovie.
The Mac App Store
Final Cut Pro X will be sold through the Mac App Store. While it will cost more than its predecessor (Final Cut Express) the Mac App Store will let you install on more than one computer (legally).
Native AVCHD Support
Final Cut Pro X is rumoured to have native AVCHD support. This should mean no more transcoding to ProRes.
This has been a long time coming and is why we developed Cosmos from the ground up as a Native AVCHD movie manager. With Final Cut Pro X no longer requiring transcoding, all the native AVCHD video in your Cosmos library will be very easy to 'Send to Final Cut' when you are ready to edit.
Our guess is that native AVCHD will be coming to iMovie'12. Again, Cosmos will fit in just fine.
The demo at the NAB Supermeet in April hinted at some keyword tagging within video clips as a way to highlight subclips of interest.
We will look into how this works and see if there is a useful way to transfer keywords from Cosmos into Final Cut.
Wrap Up
Final Cut Pro X will be a huge step forward for the high-end editors. For those of us who just want something better than iMovie, the ability to edit native AVCHD will probably be the biggest improvement.
The user interface looks like it could be easier to use than the current Final Cut Pro, but we'll need to see it first.
We will put out a series of Final Cut Pro X guides aimed at people like you - people who need a better editor than iMovie, but don't spend much time editing Hollywood blockbusters!

Antique jewellery is not just incredibly beautiful; it's stylish and often unique. With the clean-cut jewellery that we have on offer today, it makes the hand made and distinguished items of yester-year even more precious. Vintage Norwich popped along to Aleks Jewellers on London Street in Norwich to speak to Paul Harris the manager to get a bit more info on what makes vintage jewellery special and how to care for it.
Aleks have a large range of antique jewellery that Paul was kind enough to let me have a look at, and even try on a few bits, such as a Victorian diamond ring whilst he told me more about Antique jewellery.
One of the main ways to tell an Antique is by its hallmark. Hallmarking started in Great Britain around 700 years ago and was the result of a statute which required the Goldsmiths Guild to use the specific hallmark, which was the Leopards Head hallmark, as an indication that the piece met the Monarch of the period's required quality. The Maker also made his mark, often his initials or a symbol. A lot of jewellery will have a hallmark hidden in unusual places, or it will have faded over time so is always worth a good search to confirm if it's the genuine article.
The best way to care for your antique jewellery is to take it to a professional jewellers that have the knowledge and equipment to hand to care for it and preserve its history, however if you are unable to do this, then we were given a few helpful tips.
- Avoid moisture as this can cause damage to your jewellery, take it off when you clean or have a shower. At the least it can make jewellery lose it's lustre.
- Pearls need to be worn, as they often take oils from your skin to keep them bright and "alive".
- Avoid the jewellery getting dusty, use a jewellery polishing cloth instead to keep jewellery dust-free.
- Keep the Jewellery separate, as they can be damaged when left loose in a jewellery bag or box.
Jewellery needs to be about 100 years old to be classed as an antique. Most of the antique jewellery that can be found in jewellers today is Victorian and Art Deco. Gold was more commonly used in jewellery prior to this time period, and the pieces themselves tended to be much bigger. They showed status and were often custom-made for individuals, such as a special gift from a husband to a wife.
Aleks Jewellers has been a part of the Norwich scenery for many years and the owners have over 30 years experience in the business. Walking in through the quaint shop front, you know you are in good hands. They have a wedding ring showroom and a jewellery workshop on-site and can offer personal consultations as well as being diamond ring specialists
For any one that is considering purchasing some Antique jewellery as a pretty adornment, a keepsake or even an investment, then Aleks' is certainly the place to go.
Title quote: Shakespeare – Two Gentleman of Verona
Act II, Scene 4.
She is mine own,
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies are like sex—even when they're not amazing, they're still pretty great. So even though this wasn't my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, I found myself polishing off three or four at a time. This cookie featured bittersweet chocolate, dried fruit and espresso powder. You can check out the recipe at Peggy's blog: Galettista.
We take cookies pretty seriously at our house. We have our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. My husband says it's perfect. (It's the Cooks Illustrated Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe with a dusting of kosher salt.) He didn't mind the coffee or the fruit (I used dried cranberries. I didn't have any apricots in the house.), but he objected to the ratio of cookie dough to chocolate. He likes more cookie and less chocolate. I really like chocolate, but I think he's right. These might've been better with less chocolate.
This time around I had a helper in the kitchen. My son isn't a big fan of cooking (yet), but he loves to crack eggs. He's a little messy, but he doesn't mind getting his hand dirty. (kind of like his Mom.) What did you guys think of these cookies? Did they make your favorites list?

Mesothelioma Statutes of Limitations
A statute of limitations refers to the maximum period of time within which a claim must be filed. Statutes of limitations vary from state to state and depend on a variety of factors, including the type of injury or offence and the particulars of the case. Because valuable evidence can be misplaced or corrupted and testimony from witnesses may become more unreliable over the years, statutes of limitations were designed protect defendants from fraudulent claims. After the deadline to file a claim passes, the opportunity to sue the parties responsible for one's injury may be lost forever.
When Does the Statute of Limitations Start?
The statutes of limitations for mesothelioma claims often differ from those for other types of personal injury claims. A personal injury claim generally must be filed within a fixed time period that begins at the date when the accident or injury occurred, although there are some notable exceptions. On the other hand, the statutes of limitations for mesothelioma claims typically start when a person is diagnosed.
The difference in the statutes of limitations for mesothelioma claims, and other toxic and chemical exposure lawsuits, is due to the nature of the illness. Mesothelioma, as well as other diseases caused by exposure to asbestos, may not appear until two or more decades after the exposure occurred. Once diagnosed, a victim of asbestos exposure may have one to three years to file a claim, depending on their state.
Assert Your Rights, Contact a Mesothelioma Attorney
Because your legal right to sue is affected by your state's statute of limitations, it is imperative that you consult with a local mesothelioma attorney that is experienced in handling asbestos lawsuits. LawyerShop.com can help you locate qualified mesothelioma attorneys in your area who have successfully handled many mesothelioma cases and can guide you through every step of the legal process. Even if you think that your statute of limitations might have expired, it may not be too late. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to discuss your situation with an experienced attorney.

Be a Santa to a Senior®, the popular campaign that has delivered 1.2 million gifts to needy seniors throughout North America in the past six years, is gearing up again this holiday season during a time when seniors may need more of the bare necessities to survive.
The Home Instead Senior Care® office serving Leon, Gadsden and Wakulla Counties has joined area senior care facilities, community organizations, Walmart and Sam's Club to provide presents to seniors who otherwise might not receive a gift this holiday season.
Program sponsors expect gift requests to be up this year as the economic downturn continues and Social Security benefits fail to keep pace with daily living expenses.
"Most people aren't aware that there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of seniors in every community who have no family and are alone," said Scott Harrell, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Tallahassee and the Panhandle. "What's more, this holiday season finds many older adults struggling to make ends meet."
Prior to the holiday season, the participating local non-profit organizations will identify needy and isolated seniors in the community and provide those names to Home Instead Senior Care. Christmas trees, which will go up in Tallahassee at the Walmart Super Center, 5500 Thomasville Rd.; and Sam's Club, 3122 Dick Wilson Blvd. the week of November 8, feature ornaments with the first names only of the seniors and their respective gift requests. Holiday shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy items on the list and return them unwrapped to the store, along with the ornament attached. Volunteers will then collect, wrap and deliver the gifts to area seniors.
"Be a Santa to a Senior is a way to show our gratitude to those older adults who have contributed so much to our community," Harrell said. "We hope to reach out to many with this gesture of holiday cheer and goodwill."

The Second Committee Delegate of the
Permanent Mission of the Republic of
Trinidad and Tobago to the United Nations
on behalf of the Caribbean Community
and Common Market (CARICOM) member states
On Agenda item 100- Globalization and Interdependence
Second Committee
United Nations General Assembly
Fifty-Fifth Session
New York, October 24,2000.
Mr. Chairman
I have the honour to make this statement on behalf of the fourteen(14) member states of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM): Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, that are members of the United Nations. In doing so, we associate ourselves with the statement made by the representative of Nigeria on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
CARICOM member states appreciate the report of the Secretary General(A/55/381) which addresses issues related to the transfer of Information and Communications Technology(ICT) in this period of globalization. The recommendations contained therein aimed at promoting the role of the UN in the transfer of ICT and enhancing ICT components in regional and national capacity programmes of the UN system should be carefully examined by this committee with a view to adopting some of these recommendations.
Mr. Chairman,
CARICOM countries played an active role in the fifty -third session of the General Assembly during which agreement was reached to place this important issue of Globalization and Interdependence on the agenda, as we have been the early recipients of its negative consequences. Since that time we have been working assiduously with the rest of the international community to define the role of the United Nations in promoting development in the context of globalization and interdependence. Our concerns and needs were recognized and a series of actions agreed upon by the SIDS Special Session held last year, followed by the South Summit and the Millennium Summit to facilitate our integration into the global economy. We look forward to the early implementation of these decisions.
Mr. Chairman,
The pivotal role of ICT is one which equally concerns us. The report of the Secretary General accurately notes the critical need for access to ICT by developing countries. ICT has become a source of competitive advantage embedded within the productive process in this knowledge-based global economy which "affects everybody, but does not include everybody." Due to this fact the panel of experts convened by the Secretary General in April this year concluded that a global response is required to ensure that the benefits of ICT would be shared by all. The current trend which shows that 19% of the global population which reside in the developed countries comprise 91% of all internet users is quite disturbing. The challenge posed by the panel to bring connectivity to all communities by the end of the year 2004 should be urgently pursued.
Mr. Chairman
While ICT is an important component in enhancing competitiveness and growth in key sectors of our national economies, it must be combined with other factors such as market access for our goods and services; financial and technical assistance; and Foreign Direct Investment to support our development efforts to achieve sustained economic growth and the eradication of poverty. ICT in itself will not meet our development challenges. CARICOM countries are faced with inherent vulnerabilities reflected in the constraints imposed by small size, small population, limited resource endowments, dependence on primary products and the implications of these factors for overall competitiveness.
This has been recognized in the special and differential treatment we have received in international agreements such as the Lome Convention. For example, some of our Caribbean states uniquely depend on bananas for their economic survival. For the small Windward islands of Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, bananas provide over half of their export earnings. They also contribute to about 16 percent of GDP in Saint Lucia and 17 percent in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica. Such a degree of dependence cannot be ignored in our trading relationships with our developed partners. Efforts to diversify into new areas of economic activity such as the provision of financial services are being challenged by our more developed partners.
In this increasing liberalized and globalized economy special and differential treatment must be granted to meet new policy demands and obligations which we must fulfill. We are however confronted by a changing WTO environment in which this principle is being phased out. Our experience has shown a decline in the delivery of foreign investment flows, trade access and the transfer of technology which are fundamental to our development needs. We have witnessed instability in the financial sector in the absence of adequate institutional arrangements to manage the process, a reduction in Official Development Assistance and increasing marginalization of small states in the multilateral trading system. CARICOM countries also continue to bear the brunt of the environmental challenges in sustaining our future. Ecological vulnerabilities, in particular, susceptibility to natural disasters, seriously negate our efforts to achieve sustained economic growth. Our economic and ecological vulnerabilities are further compounded with the challenges posed by globalization and trade liberalization. A flexible application of a broader set of criteria is needed to ensure that small States like CARICOM States qualify for special treatment in trade and development assistance in order to promote economic sustainability and long-term growth.
Mr. Chairman
While we have focused in this Committee on aspects of globalization linked to market liberalization and integration into the global economy, such as ICT, it is equally relevant to address the social and political impacts of globalization. There is a need to reshape financial and trade institutions which guide the process of globalization and develop capacities to deal with this phenomenon at both national and international levels. We must strive for greater coherence in international policymaking due to the interrelatedness of trade, monetary and financial policy with social and environmental issues. Developing countries must formulate a positive agenda and assume the role of a proactive partner in the globalization process. We in the Caribbean are committed to the concept of trade liberalization because it is essential to growth and development. We believe in an open, free and fair international trading system in which benefits are equitably distributed and which enables developing countries to achieve sustained levels of economic development. We must therefore ensure that the political infrastructure to manage this process is based on principles of justice and equity and also ensures that mutual interests are preserved. CARICOM countries stand ready to play our part.
I thank you.

UPDATE: Drivers identified in major Van Zandt County wreck
POSTED: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - 6:31pm
UPDATED: Thursday, March 13, 2014 - 10:55am
Van Zandt County, Texas (KETK) — Two people were hurt, one serious, in a major wreck in Van Zandt County Wednesday morning.
The crash left both vehicles involved mangled on Highway 19 at County Road 4205, according to the South Van Zandt Volunteer Fire Department.
The accident happened when a truck heading northbound on Highway 19 lost control, overcorrected and slammed into a car traveling southbound.
Crews were called to the scene around 7:00 a.m. When SFZVFD firefighters arrived, they had to use the "jaws of life" to remove Billy Tims, 57, from his car. He was flown to the ETMC Tyler hospital with what were described as serious injuries. He was listed in fair condition as of late Wednesday afternoon.
The driver of the truck, Garrett Wade, 24, suffered only minor injuries. The identities of both drivers are not known at this time. No other passengers were in either vehicle.
Highway 19 was down to one lane for a few hours, and both lanes were closed for a short time for air assistance. The scene was cleared at 9:00 a.m.
Canton Fire Rescue assisted with the wreck.

Here is your main take-away from this post:
Serious writers should strive NOT to be junk peddlers. Self-published/Indie authors have the worst reputations for being junk peddlers.
If you're going to make a business of your writing, it's very important that you do your part to change that perception. Do your best to make your writing worth someone's time and money.
Here are a few things to increase the chances of your writing being well-received.
1. Read more books.
One of my college professors told me that reading expands the vocabulary, improves the attention span, cures laziness, and staves off over all ignorance. So, I guess that makes it a cure all. But if nothing else, the more you read, the better you write. No one wants to read any work that looks like it was written by someone who never read a book...ever. Spend some time in a library and/or a bookstore and just read.
2. Read articles and blogs.
Find useful information and apply it to developing your craft and preparing yourself for publishing, including learning what to look for and what to avoid.
Here is one most excellent blog by the Passive Income Author, Skellie with tons of great insight.
Here is another one from Maria Murnane about the importance of editing.
One more, from Mallary Jean Tenore, speaking with bestselling author, Jennifer Weiner about social networking tools.
And Writer Beware and Preditors and Editors are excellent reference sites for authors looking for publishing options, editors, and agents. Yes, I know "predators" is misspelled, but I'm sure they thought it was a really clever play on words at the time. It's still worth a look.
Look around. Read, read, read!
3. Observe other writers and learn from them.
For this, you should be willing to read through some other up-and-coming authors' work, and not just authors whom you already admire. Visit their websites and blogs. Attend author events, workshops, and conferences, if possible. If you can't attend a conference or workshop...you guessed it. Read! Learn what other authors do well, and decide what you want to emulate. Learn what they don't do as well, and decide what you'd like to improve for your own writing platform and future works.
4. Write openly, honestly, and without inhibition.
Yes, this takes work. Writing is personal, and it's hard enough to allow someone else to see your work without the added pressure of someone not "getting" it, and therefore not enjoying it. Take your time to get to this point. You'll be ready to share when you're ready to share. But at some point, you'll need to put fear and inhibition in your back pocket and move. And a lot of it will be painful and scary, but that's what good writing is, in my opinion.
5. Write for readers, not for other writers.
If you're developing a story, a character, or something else in draft form, or if you're writing just to vent or blow off steam about the challenges and lessons of the journey, then it's always a good idea to bounce your thoughts off of other writers. For that, find a good writer's forum, like She Writes. But once you're ready to push forward with a finished work, understand that your audience is different. Most of your reading audience doesn't care about the journey. They just want you to bring the story home. In order for your readers to care about you and your work, and to want to support it, they need to feel connected to you and what you're offering. Write about things that they care about, and they will care about you.
6. Treat your writing like a business.
If you want exposure, and possibly to publish and distribute your work, create and build a presence, online and in real life, and that's more than just spamming people with BCC emails and regularly blasting ads for your book on their Facebook walls. It's lazy, ill-mannered, annoying, and usually ineffective.
Remember: Engage and connect. While your Facebook page is a great place to socialize and network, you'll find that it's not the best place to sell books. Think about it. How many books have you bought from your Facebook friends? How much actual support have you given to a business listed on Facebook, other than "Like" the page? Exactly. All the more reason to get out and about on the Web and broaden your cyber horizons.
7. Create a website, or at least a blog, that's geared toward attracting readers. Take an interest in what interests your readers. Search for and find readers who are actually interested in what you write, i.e., your genre or subject matter.
Don't assume that one person's audience will be drawn to your writing just because you write in the same genre. Put in the work. Research. Pay attention.
8. Compartmentalize.
If you have a personal website, Facebook page, or Twitter profile, consider creating and maintaining a second website or profile that is exclusively for your writing business. And for the love of beans and gravy, please treat your website with care. Check it and update it regularly, especially to catch and correct typos, and to make sure your links work. No one will take you seriously as a writer, editor, publisher, etc., if you don't take the care to maintain your web presence. There are tons of places that you can build free or inexpensive websites, such as Weebly. And believe me when I say that they make it super user-friendly, and still help you put together an attractive, professional site. If you want to invest in a professional to build your site, then okay; but just know that there are some free-of-charge options out there.
9. Keep it professional.
Whatever you do, don't treat your business website like an old MySpace page, with music and graphics bouncing all over the place. It's distracting, especially if it's a song that I know, and too many moving parts and too much noise will make it look (and sound) amateurish. It's all right to be an amateur, as long as you put a professional foot forward. For an occasional sanity check, ask family and friends to look over it and give you feedback. A fresh set of eyes will often catch things that we miss in our own work. I prefer a silent website, but depending on your target audience, music and a few subtle graphics may work for you. Just keep it professional.
Well, that's it for now. As always, this is just what I'm learning as I go. Use what works for you, and brain dump the rest.
Take care, all. Happy Writing!
Thank you, Joy. I appreciate that. :)
I hope that organizing them now will help me be able to locate them more easily later, just in case I want to refer back to something one day.
Lately, I feel like I have to prepare myself for the next thing, and organizing my blogs is a part of that. I hope I can manage to control myself and not find yet another reason to open another blog. Otherwise, they'll start to feel like those free checking accounts I open at the banks, just because they're free, but are basically empty. I'm embarrassed to admit how many open bank accounts I have that I pretty much never use. But maybe that'll inspire a blog post. :)
Your blog organization sounds truly smart. If I had the time I would love to do that because seriously my thoughts are all over the place, and I can not always put one type of idea in one place as I don't feel it would be appreciate so I am excited to follow you a bit and check out your posts, esp. the one about writing. Just so you know; people are reading you and I for one am glad you put so much into every blog. Keep em coming, woman!
Hi, Joy,
I'm not really sure how I ended up with so many blogs, but I tell myself that they're good for sorting out and compartmentalizing my thoughts.
I want to engage as many people as I can, make as many connections as possible, so I maintain blogs on a few different pages. I put the thoughts down on whichever blog seems to fit at the time.
The first blog, Write on Time, I use to post random thoughts about my life, including work-related stuff, family stuff, relationships, movie reviews, stuff about being single, etc., and a few tidbits on what makes me tick as a writer. I think of it as my "figuring out life stuff" blog, and it's a hodge-podge of everything. I tweet that one, just to try and drive up some traffic and encourage comments.
The second blog, Writers Should Know This, is directed toward up-and-coming writers (and seasoned writers, too, I guess), where I share thoughts, experiences, and good information about the businesses writing and publishing, and especially to offer support and encouragement. I try to keep this one as professional-sounding as possible. It's on my publishing site, and I want to project a good image there. I tweet that one, too, trying to expose folks to the publishing house, and also to encourage some feedback from folks on how helpful or unhelpful the info is.
The third one is called Otherwise Perfect, on Blogspot, which is mostly a venting journal. I've only had it for about a month. Not much traffic goes there, so I pretty much just say anything there.
The fourth one is here on She Writes. This one is just a copy and paste place for any of my other posts that I feel like sharing in this forum. It's good for occasional feedback, but doesn't get much traffic either. I blog here because there is a place to blog.
If that weren't bad enough, I just created a Wordpress blog, a week or so ago, no name yet, but I'm trying to figure out how I might actually consolidate a couple of blogs on that page.
All that said, I just write because I want to be read. Comments are like my validation that I'm reaching someone somewhere; but I know that a lot of people would just rather browse and read, rather than leave comments or start a dialogue. I just hope folks are reading, and that I'm making some sense. :)
Regina, I was wondering about blogs and thought you could add some insight. You mentioned you have three blogs open? I am not quite sure what that means but what are the differences between them and the connections? I was thinking of doing one, but I am not sure...let me see how to explain: people blog to express themselves and connect with others right, but I see endless possibilities and I am not sure how people pick a direction. Do you blog just to hear other's opinions of your thoughts or do you blog more as a journal of your life?
Hi, Dawn!
Thank you for reading and commenting. I'm glad it was helpful. I'm really glad to share all of the blogs and articles that I find useful and encouraging to me. Usually, it's something that someone sent to me, and I just pass it along. I think Patrick Conroy is definitely on to something, because I believe that's the way most of us feel; and all the more reason why reading is such a great help to us as writers. It's like the fuel that gives us the energy to do what we do.
Hi, Joy!
Thank you! If I haven't said so already, I'm very impressed by your designs. It makes sense to me that reading does help us to find and develop our own voices. I'm glad the blogs are helpful. I'm posting and sharing more as I find them. Reading is the only way I can think of that will help me develop more, so I figure the same is mostly true for other writers.
Blogs are heaven-sent, in my opinion. Bloggers not only share insight, but they encourage, sometimes, without even knowing it. I'm nearly addicted to them, too. I have three blogs open now, as I write this. Bloggers and the people who read them are a big part of what helps me to be a better writer. And so, I read, read, read! Lord knows, I don't want to find myself reading books that immediately tell me that the writer doesn't read. For one thing, the "voice" is all over the place, and it's hard to keep up.
This was an encouraging read to me. Think I will print it and consider some of it in my off - screen time! Thanks for all of the links and useful information. Oh, I wanted to add that I agree with the reading- I loved the way Patrick Conroy shares the power of what he has read in relation to His writing and personal live. Like drops into a vast ocean, each significant, effectual and useful in some mysterious way which is hard to actually pinpoint!
I am impressed by this blog. I thought I was crazy to read so much once I decided I wanted to become a writer or something close to it. I began frantically reading all I could of everything and did not understand why until recently. First, I was looking just to see what was well-liked or not liked. Then I began a strange search of "my" voice? Does that make any sense? Well, I still have not found it, but I have found like-minded writers who I really "get" and I feel inspired. Thank you for this and all the sites. I am addicted to reading blogs...they are a wonderful way to connect with people and understand just about ...anything!
Hi, Kathryne!
Thanks for reading and commenting. And you're welcome. :) I feel the same way. I've got to get back to making to for more reading.
Enjoyed reading your blog. I agree that you have to take your own writing seriously for others to and it is definitely a business as well, which seems to be the hardest part for everyone. I love reading and I know I need to take the time to do more of that, so thanks for reminding me!

Joe Bonamassa: Tour de Force, Live in London
Tuesday, June 3 at 8 p.m.
Tour de Force – Live in London chronicles Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Each individual evening was marked by a unique theme with different setlists, arrangements and ensembles providing the viewer with four unique performances. His journey begins in the intimate setting of the 200-capacity London Borderline with a three-piece band. The result is a jammy tribute to Bonamassa's earlier career, with songs he hasn't played live in years. Next is a blues-themed night at Shepherd's Bush Empire, featuring a horns section to create a soulful, big-blues-band feel. He then moves to the Hammersmith Apollo which opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a rock-inspired evening. Finally, at the Royal Albert Hall, Bonamassa treats the crowd to a half acoustic/half electric show of his most popular and well-known songs, featuring the acoustic band from his most recent release, An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House. Each night's performance features a different selection of songs – over 60 in total and some having never been performed live before – from his extensive career beginning with 2000's "A New Day Yesterday."
Unlike previous Bonamassa live concerts, which featured Eric Clapton, John Hiatt, and Paul Rodgers, Bonamassa's special guests for these four shows were not musicians, but instead, a small collection of the world's most renowned guitars: Rory Gallagher's 1961 Fender Stratocaster, Bernie Marsden's 1959 Gibson Les Paul and the Peter Greene/Gary Moore 1959 Gibson Les Paul.

Concierge.com's insider take:
In the early 19th century, hundreds of freed slaves from the United States came to settle in the Samaná peninsula of the Dominican Republic, where their descendents still live today. Until the last two generations, English was the predominant language in parts of the peninsula. Twice monthly, the same woman that runs the best whaling trips, Kim Beddall offers tours to visit Leticia Willmore, a wonderfully sweet 79-year-old woman who lives in a modest house up a small hill in the Willmore neighborhood of Santa Barbará de Samaná. Willmore is a consummate storyteller, sharing anecdotes about her English-speaking community's unusual history. Tours stop at neighborhood landmarks, such as the original 1823 First African Wesleyan Methodist Church, a focal point for the community. And refreshments are served: the community's traditional ginger beer, homemade by Ms. Willmore herself.

Episode Information
It's getting to be an old story -- the way the highly verbal, thoughtful nerds from high school find lasting meaning in life, while the hugely popular handsome babe magnet jocks waste away in unrewarding auto sales jobs.
Yes, it's an old story. An old, old, old story. Why do we former nerds enjoy telling it so much? It never gets tired for us.
Mark Oppenheimer joins us today with one of the stories, but a tale center in the world of high school debate, which has also been getting some intention recently in movies like Rocket Science.
The way Oppenheimer tell it, he was pretty much born talking and -- until he found the right outlet -- that made him kind of a misfit. And worse.
But why let Mark hog all the debating glory. We've also invited two current high school and one current college debater. Who will take home the coveted Dankosky Trophy?

PATHWAYS TO PROGRESS: Seeing a pattern here
ASU effort shows tract in distress
In the popular 2000 book, "Bowling Alone," Robert Putnam claimed, "Over the course of the last generation or two, a variety of technological, economic and social changes have rendered obsolete the stuff of American social capital."
Mindful that communities need more than money to solve their most challenging problems, Putnam lamented a growing disconnect of Americans from family, friends, neighbors and civic structures. He urged that social capital, the very fabric of our connectedness to each other, needs new weaving for communities to progress and for citizens to lead satisfying lives together.
Results from the fourth straight year of tracking key indicators in ASU's Neighborhood Development Index give cause to heed Putnam's message. For the fourth straight time, the quality of life in census tract 18 encompassing the Blackshear and Downtown neighborhoods lags the rest of the city, with few signs of closing the gaps.
ASU's Community Development Initiatives updates the Neighborhood Development Index annually. Based on 2012 data, the most recent information from the Census Bureau, the latest update includes 19 indicators of neighborhood characteristics across San Angelo's 20 census tracts. Statistics detailing factors such as income levels, family composition and criminal activity reveal stark differences between the Blackshear-Downtown neighborhoods and the rest of the city.
For instance, it is a fact that households experience increasing degrees of financial risk and instability as housing costs rise above 30 percent of the total household income. In census tract 18, about 40 percent of households experienced housing costs of 30 percent or more in 2012. Across the city, by comparison, only 29 percent carried that level of cost burden.
The per capita income of $11,606 in the Blackshear-Downtown neighborhoods was approximately half (51 percent) of the citywide per capita income ($22,684) in 2012. In line with that difference was a 40 percent rate of poverty in census tract 18. The city's overall poverty rate was 17 percent.
The labor force participation rate (based on residents age 16 and older) was 42 percent in Blackshear-Downtown. This compares to a citywide rate of 61 percent for 2012.
Married couples headed only 41 percent of families in census tract 18 during 2012 compared to 69 percent citywide. Rates for both criminal violence and property crime are at least five times higher in the Blackshear-Downtown neighborhoods than the city overall.
These gaps are shocking illustrations of what Putnam was saying when he wrote, "Americans are right that the bonds of our communities have withered, and we are right to fear that this transformation has very real costs." Those "real costs" can come in the form of whole sections of the community hopelessly mired in household instability, lack of employment, poverty and crime.
Putnam, however, believes that projects to rekindle neighborhood and civic engagement can change the inner workings of local communities, as well as their outward appearance. Leaders from Atlanta to Indianapolis to Omaha and San Antonio need no convincing because they have seen neighborhoods transformed. Some of San Angelo's leaders are moving to build citizen engagement and social capital too.
During April, the City's Development Services division launched a new Development Task Force as an ongoing opportunity for greater dialogue about improvements to city processes such as zoning, infrastructure development, building regulation and code enforcement. This start, however, was just an initial step toward opening new pathways for expanded citizen engagement in the development of the community and its neighborhoods.
Also under consideration are ideas about a Lunch and Learn Series to provide citizens a forum to learn about city services and city assets such as GIS Mapping capabilities, and to receive briefings from key city staff.
Another idea is to field a series of Citizen 101 evening workshops for hands-on learning experience on such topics of emergency management, methods of fighting neighborhood blight and decay, or the basics of neighborhood and community organizing.
City of San Angelo University is a concept that could turn into a premier opportunity for citizens to train for civic leadership in the community and its neighborhoods. Such a leadership development framework could operate evenings, at least once a month, over a nine-month period.
CoSA U would select students from the full spectrum of city neighborhoods. With tutelage from city management and members of the City Council, CoSA U students could become well-versed in the community's vision and develop a deep understanding of the vital roles for engaged citizens. They could learn the full story on key issues like water, waste management, roads and highways, or safety measures.
Students could develop a rich understanding of how to use the range of community assets for progressive projects. CoSA U graduates could readily serve on key city advisory boards or commissions, or take part in big actions and projects that will make a better San Angelo.
Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" is certainly among the most widely read books in the world about the ways Americans govern themselves. Writing in the 1830s, Tocqueville originated the concept of "American exceptionalism" as a way of expressing his opinion that America was "qualitatively different from all other countries."
While he never used the term social capital, he did claim it was "the Americans' propensity for civic association that most impressed him as the key to their unprecedented ability to make democracy work."
An exceptional community must not accept the notion that residents in neighborhoods such as Blackshear and Downtown will persistently endure households that are more unstable and have higher unemployment, greater poverty and higher crime levels than the rest of us. Help the leaders working to energize new civic associations to form the foundation of a community moving forward together.

The History Of Nichols, Locke, Tribble, Todd, Hunt, Erwin,Updated January 5, 2004 |

This Nichols family is large and over the years stayed close together. Beginning in North Carolina, Tennessee, Johnson County, Illinois, Wright and Webster County, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory (Oklahoma)and Fannin and Grayson County, Texas large families were always closeby. These names are only a small part of my maternal and paternal relatives. Many of the stories about some individuals were written by my dad, Earl Washington Nichols when he was over seventy years of age. He always believed that the family and the value placed on it was high. Raising three sons and always stressing education, we all went off to graduate from different colleges at a time when the family resources would indicate that it was an impossibility. He liked to use the term "My Three Sons". He was proud to be a Scottish Rite Mason and so we all three joined him at the Mcalester Consistory. He and Mother were always supportive of us in all endeavors. We grew up knowing our grand parents and being close to many relatives. I would say that ours is an average American family that lived through some difficult and some wonderful times together. Never having much, we have each other and I guess thats all you can ask for. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The St Brice's Day massacre was the killing of Danes in the Kingdom of England on 13 November 1002, ordered by King Æthelred the Unready. The name refers to St Brice, fifth century Bishop of Tours, whose feast day is 13 November.[1][2]
Contents |
England had been ravaged by Danish raids every year from 997 to 1001, and in 1002 the king was told that the Danish men in England "would faithlessly take his life, and then all his councillors, and possess his kingdom afterwards." In response, he "ordered slain all the Danish men who were in England."[3]
Historians believe there was significant loss of life. Amongst those thought to have been killed were Gunhilde, who may have been the sister of King Sweyn I of Denmark. Her husband Pallig Tokesen, the Danish Ealdorman of Devonshire may also have died in the massacre[4] or according to a different version, his defection to join raiders ravaging the south coast may have played a part in provoking it.[5]
The massacre in Oxford was justified by Æthelred in a royal charter of 1004 explaining the need to rebuild St Frideswide's Church (now Christ Church Cathedral):
" | For it is fully agreed that to all dwelling in this country it will be well known that, since a decree was sent out by me with the counsel of my leading men and magnates, to the effect that all the Danes who had sprung up in this island, sprouting like cockle amongst the wheat, were to be destroyed by a most just extermination, and thus this decree was to be put into effect even as far as death, those Danes who dwelt in the afore-mentioned town, striving to escape death, entered this sanctuary of Christ, having broken by force the doors and bolts, and resolved to make refuge and defence for themselves therein against the people of the town and the suburbs; but when all the people in pursuit strove, forced by necessity, to drive them out, and could not, they set fire to the planks and burnt, as it seems, this church with its ornaments and its books. Afterwards, with God's aid, it was renewed by me.[6] | " |
The remains of between 34 and 38 young men, all aged 16 to 25, found during an excavation at St John's College, Oxford in 2008, are believed to be Danes killed during the massacre.[7][8] However, this theory is not undebated. Recent research suggests that the skeletons may have been Vikings warriors who were not resident in England.[9]
Historians have generally viewed the massacre as a political crime which helped to provoke Sweyn's invasion of 1003.[10] Simon Keynes in his Oxford Online DNB article on Æthelred described it as a "so-called" massacre, a reaction of people who had been slaughtered and pillaged for a decade, directed not at the inhabitants of the Danelaw but at the mercenaries who had turned on their employers.[11] Æthelred's biographer, Ryan Lavelle, also questions its extent, arguing that it could not have been carried out in the Danelaw, where the Danes would have been too strong, and that it was probably confined to frontier towns such as Oxford, and larger towns with small Danish communities, such as Bristol, Gloucester and London. He comments on the remarkable lack of remorse shown by Æthelred in the Oxford charter, but views the massacre not so much as a royally executed order as an exploitation of popular ethnic hatred and millenarianism.[12] Audrey MacDonald sees it as leading on to the onslaught which eventually led to Danish conquest.[5]

Stanford coach David Shaw happy with QB Josh Nunes' starting debut
Posted By John Henderson On September 4, 2012 @ 12:22 pm In Football,Pac-12 | No Comments
Stanford coach David Shaw said he was happy with the way new quarterback Josh Nunes played in Stanford's 20-17 win over visiting San Jose State.
Nunes, trying to replace No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck, finished 16-of-26 for 125 yards and a touchdown.
"He graded out very well," Shaw said on Tuesday's Pac-12 Conference call. "He got us in the right plays. We were relatively conservative early in the game, but he executed the game plan."

Demand Question Time
As a signatory to the Demand Question Time petition, I urge you all to sign up and spread the message. It is being heard by the White House and Congress. Our politics would be healthier if politicians got to ask, and answer, questions with less mediation, less theatrics, less stagecraft and less sloganeering. Sign the petition and ask them to do it.
Mindy Finn and David Corn discussing Demand Question Time on Hardball last night.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
UPDATE: Note which party is willing to have a more candid, public, unmediated debate. And which is not.
Democrats were thrilled with President Barack Obama's performance at last week's question-and-answer session with the House GOP, but it's the Republicans — not the White House — who are embracing a call to make question time a regular part of American political life.
Based upon history, performance, Why ?
"less theatrics, less stagecraft and less sloganeering"............."demand questioning"
The constant Promise of C-Span Transparency was false. Why would you want to start a conversation with a known Liar ? Obama does not have an Input buffer.
Give and take stopped with Obama's answer in Baltimore at the GOP retreat....Obama has reviewed and "Rejected" all the Republican proposals on healthcare.
Hoax and Chains ? After 13 months, we're sorta beyond a casual conversation, we the People are still counting the lies and deceit. Fact check would also have to participate in any exchange. Not for the GOP, but for Obama and his baseline lies and all the insurmountable problems poor ole Obama inherited from Gearge Bush.
Obama has blamed Bush, hasn't he ? Yeah, I thought I heard that once. Who wants to sit down with Obama ?
Hell, we should start an Exchange with George Bush and tell George to STOP !
Now why do you suppose R's want to do this again?
Note which party is willing to have a more candid, public, unmediated debate. And which is not.
Hey Jon, you forgot the first line from the article in your blockquote.
"House Republicans want a rematch."
I noted which party got its asses handed to them. Btw, i signed it. I'd love to see that every other month.
Mass. and Brown made Baltimore happen with RNC and "O"
Scott Brown is the ONLY reason any Obama reaching out/discussion to republicans would be happening, or even being considered. Its probably a cover up for the C-Span lies.........to be referenced by Bagdad Bob Gibbs when he is questioned about "Transparency and openess" again in a press conference.
By the way, How long has it been since a Presidential Press Conference ?
I think Congress should make it law, that Obama has to Campaign in person for every Democrat running for office this year.
Which party is willing to have a more candid, public...
The proper answer to that question is: the party not in power. It always has been.
The problem with these things is that the "questions" become political stump speeches full of straw-man arguments that ask some type of "gotcha" question through framing that makes only black or white answers acceptable, when the answer is a shade of gray. Even in the very example used in this post, there was an abuse of the question asking privilege by someone who would rather make a stump speech followed by a loaded question at the end. To put it not-so-subtly, how long would it take for this to become a political feces flinging competition? I'd give it until the second question. Any congress that doesn't have enough restraint to keep from yelling "you lie" during a speech clearly doesn't have enough respect to carry on an informative question and answer session. Until we have a congress that acts like adults who want to come to a consensus and are genuinely curious about their oppositions' viewpoints and how to address all sides' concerns, it's nice in theory, but will never work in practice.
Note which party is willing
Note which party is willing to have a more candid, public, unmediated debate. And which is not.
Which party, indeed. Obama just invited the Republicans to a long, publicly broadcast health-care forum Q&A; the Republican response, so far, has been to pooh-pooh it as pointless, on the one hand, and make, as a condition for participating, a lot of demands Obama can't meet--a pretext for simply refusing the participate, and nothing more. To be honest, I thought they'd jump at the chance after all their very loud mouthing, but I suppose their reluctance is well-advised (from their point of view) after the brutal drubbing he handed out to them at the retreat.
Drubbing eh ? here is an excerpt
here is an example of "Dodgeball" and Stuttering ......
CONGRESSMAN PRICE: And so, rest assured the summary document you received is backed up by precisely the kind of detailed legislation that Speaker Pelosi and your administration have been busy ignoring for 12 months.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Mike -- well, hold on, hold on a second. No, no, no, no. Hold on a second, guys. (Applause.)
You know, Mike, I've read your legislation. I mean, I take a look at this stuff -- and the good ideas we take. But here's -- here's the thing -- here's the thing that I guess all of us have to be mindful of, it can't be all or nothing, one way or the other. And what I mean by that is this: If we put together a stimulus package in which a third of it are tax cuts that normally you guys would support, and support for states and the unemployed, and helping people stay on COBRA that your governors certainly would support -- Democrat or a Republican; and then you've got some infrastructure, and maybe there's some things in there that you don't like in terms of infrastructure..........BLAH..BLAH...BLAH....
geez, what a Dufus....acknowledge the Truth of Ignoring Republicans or shutup BHOle.

Bipolar Depression Treatment
Bipolar Depression
Millions of Americans struggle with depression, and will need to undergo some sort of depression treatment or multiple depression treatments. Depression and bi polar depression is a serious condition that can happen at any age, bipolar depression can happen to either gender, and to people of all socioeconomic, racial, and religious backgrounds. Many people feel ashamed of their depression symptoms , or feel that they should simply snap out of symptoms of bipolar or deal with it themselves. But unfortunately, it isn't that simple. Depression is a medical condition, and it requires medical depression treatment a great deal of the time. There have been huge advancements in modern antidepressant medication, therapy, counseling, and other alternative treatments, offering patients partial or complete relief of their depression symptoms. A depression symptoms test can help a doctor determine quickly and accurately if depression or bi polar signs are present. Major depression symptoms effect about 37% of the american populace currently. The signs and symptoms of depression are plain to see as long as you are well educated as to what to look for. Bipolar signs are covered in the next section.
(5) Signs of Bi Polar:
Many often ask: what are the signs of depression and how can i identify the signs and symptoms of depression. These (5) symptoms of bi polar will shock you as they are so common in america. See the causes now!
The 5 signs of Bi Polar deression or bipolar depression symptoms are as follows:
1) Rapid mood swings
2) Refusal to even acknowledge a possibility of bipolar tendencies or denial.
3) Deep depressive behavior of withdrawl from the world around them.
4) Feeling sad even when things around you are good.
5) Suicidal tendencies or at the very least thoughts of suicide.
while these are the 5 newest items that we polled among 127 families and individuals struggling with bipolar signs, there are many other less dramatic and outright signs and symptoms of depression. Seeking a bipolar treatment will help the bipolar depression symptoms greatly however.
What is Depression Treatment?
Asking your doctor what are symptoms of depression is a good way to get the conversation started for treatment of depression. If you suspect that you may be battling more than just a temporary case of the blues, visit your doctor to discuss your symptoms and treatment options. More than likely, your physician may prescribe antidepressant medications. Most doctors choose to start with a low dosage and will then gradually increase the dosage or try different types of medications. Antidepressant medications generally take some time to build up in your system, so it takes some patience when beginning a new medication regime. Be sure to take your medication at the same time every day. It's also dangerous to go off of your antidepressant medication cold-turkey. Before stopping your medications, speak to your doctor so that you can come up with a plan to wean yourself off a little bit at a time. Bipolar disorder treatment isnt an expensive process and usuall involves simple daily doses of meds to be ab

Symptoms of depression in women can be different then bipolar symptoms and depression symptoms in men. Suicide and depression have ran in my family and i am scared for myself and my children. Suicidal depression is a real threat to me because of brain chemistry.

If you are suffering from depression, and have not sought out out Depression Treatment, what are you waiting for? Depression treatment is there for the people who need it, for people who need help battling their depression and getting through to the other side.
Posted by: Kellie Barron
Depression Treatment really helped pull me out of a depression that lasted nearly three years. I had sunk so far into it that I could see the other side anymore, I couldn't even notice the passage of time. Major depression disorder is a serious condition. It was all just grey to me. With Depression Treatment, I found my way out again.
