What is the purpose of makeup?
Some say to enhance beauty. Ahhggh, but What is beauty? I guess its all relative.
To me, beauty is natural. No additives.
Got an email today from a makeup artist who wanted to work with me. I realized that I have not used a makeup artist in my shoots for the last few months. I prefer not having a makeup artist. Here are some reasons why.
It takes too long.
Makeup application takes way to long. I am always anxious to shoot. I want to get started right away.
Great models.
I try my very best to find great models with good skin. I didnt say tall or skinny or slim. I look for great models with unique features and good skin.
Looks unnatural.
This is my personal opinion but makeup looks unnatural to me. There are a very few makeup artists that I have worked with that can pull off the flawless look. This means not using a lot of makeup because the model doesn't need it. Sometimes you get those weird laugh line creases and I can see the non-pores later in post production. You see everything when the face is blown up to 100%. Most people will say that you will never see a photo at 100% but indeed you do when you print a photo.
Most of the time I use natural sunlight to shoot. You can see the difference when a models real skin absorbs the sunlight vs heavy makeup.
Bump Heads
Most MUA's are looking for beauty work. I do not do beauty shots. And if I did it would be with a beautiful model with flawless skin. Beauty work is 97% Photoshop.
We also bump heads on the concept. My vision may be different from theirs and there is always some sort of compromise.
The truth is that I do not like compromise.
This is why I work by myself. I have an idea for the direction of my photography and business. Others have their own direction My path is working for me but that does not mean that it will work for the next person.
Hard to find good help.
All of the best MUA's are always booked because, well, they are the best! I have one go-to girl that I will use if a MUA is necessary but she is doing her thing. Always busy. I rather go without than to have a sub-par MUA on the job.
Post production.
Most of the time I will leave skin "imperfections" alone but if necessary it only takes seconds in Photoshop to remove any blemishes.
A Phase.
It may just be a phase I am going through my photography art always changes depending on how I feel. Take everything I said with a grain of salt because I am always changing my mind.

St. Joseph Comments
Everything we know about the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus comes from Scripture and that has seemed too little for those who made up legends about him. We know he was a carpenter, a working man, for the skeptical Nazarenes ask about Jesus, "Is this not the carpenter's son?" (Matthew 13:55). He wasn't rich for when he took Jesus to the Temple to be circumcised and Mary to be purified he offered the sacrifice of two ... Continue Reading

Dear St. Joseph, Happy Feast Day! Thank you for your help and assistance throughout my life so far. I believe it is because of my special attachment to you that despite many helpless situations and moments in my life, I have never, not even once, lost face or hope becuase of your constant assistance. Thank you for answering many of my small petitions to you ever since my school days. The one constant thing I had always asked you was for me to be granted a good husband like yourself. however, I do not know what I have today! I feel so unblessed in this aspect, as, what I have is quite contrary to what I want and wish and I am not able to understand whether I am just going through a trial or whether my marriage is simply hopeless! I have struggled for 7 years already and do not, according to my human intelligence, see any respite forthcoming. In this 35th year of my life and on your most venerated day in the year, my earnest prayer to you is to give me strength and support in whatever measure I may decide to undertake in order to improve my life. This is all the more important and urgent as I have my earthly responsibility to 7 year old Joseph, my boy and your namesake. You know Joseph has suffered much and have not had a father's real love and protection. It breaks my heart to see my boy suffer and exposed to so many unplesantness. We are at our most pathetic stage and I fear the worst. We need your divine intervention! Please intercede for us so that something significant may happen soon for the better. Please ask Jesus to touch my husband's frozen heart so that it may melt just a bit - just enough to fit in a little more love for his son, at least.
Also, if it is God's will, please interceed for me so that the new job I interviewed for - lingering on the final decision - may ultimately open up for me! St. Joseph, patron of life, wholesome saint....pray for me. Thank you and Amen.

Dear St. Joseph,
I brings us great joy to honor you on this day as the foster father of Our Lord Jesus, and spouse to Blessed Mary. Your faith and obedience to the Father, your love for the Holy Child and protector of the Holy Family is an example to us all.
You have long been my patron, I know you always hear my prayer, and grant what is best for me.
Strenghthen in Faith and love the Church which you are the Universal patron. Give those who have lost their faith a second chance, bring them back to the truth which is the Church headed by Christ, and supported by His sacraments. We pray to you for help with those who cannot or will not pray for themselves.
Lastly, please help me to find the means very soon to be able to retire, spend my time serving the Lord with the talents He gave me, and offering prayer and praise to Him until my death.
Saint Joseph, pray for us. -

Dear St Joseph, today is your FEAST DAY and our Holy Mother Church everywhere in the world celebrates your special day because you are special in the story of Salvation. My life is a living testimony of your powerful prayers and how you generously intercede for those who turn to you in trust. Today I am appealing to you to save my friend who wants to commit suicide. I will briefly fill in the background story about him. Timmy was born on Sunday, 4th April 1976 to a Finnish family who immigrated to Sydney, Australia from Finland in 1970. Timmy's father was a hopeless alcoholic drinking all his wages in filthy pubs and his mother a sober and hardworking woman struggling endlessly to feed her 6 children on a small income she received as a house cleaner to a wealthy but kind Jewish lady. Life was far from happy and every day a battle to make ends meet. Timmy 's brother, a hopeless heroin addict, talked Timmy into smoking heroin at age 16 telling him that smoking won't get him addicted. Well, before very long Timmy developed a $400 a day heroin habit and his life became his living hell. In 2004 his family saved enough money to fund Timmy's treatment and Timmy was living a healthy, clean and rewarding life with a well paid job, played sport and for hobby restored classic BMW cars 1962-1965 series with great success and financial rewards. Timmy met and fell madly in love 13 months ago with a beautiful young lady (22 years old) who swept him off his feet, to everyone's horror she is a heroin addict. Timmy is now homeless, penniless, unemployable and suicidal junkie who lost everything worth living for. Timmy sleeps on park benches frequently assaulted by drunk louts and he's soliciting gold coins from pedestrians and patrons in pubs. Where there is life there is hope and today is the day I trust you will plead with Jesus to rescue Timmy from his heroin HELL and restore him back to his tortured and terrified family. AMEN

Dear St. Joseph, it's early morning of your feastday, which brings me to the much awaited day. I celebrate your holy, humble, happy life. How else would you have been chose to be the earthly father of Jesus the son of God, and spouse of Mary. In the company of Jesus and Mary you lived. Protector of Jesus and Mary, it is often told that there is nothing we ask of you on your feast day that you will not grant. I also know that I must persevere in asking, for that is Jesus' lesson on prayer. I believe that with true and quiet faith. Please grant a permanent cure of all chilfdren suffering from developmental delays. Grant the gift of Baptism to those who know Jesus and are resisting His heavenly grace. Protect all families from any onslaught that threatens their unity. Bless children who are denied their faith. Pray for all who are dying at this very moment. St. Joseph, I love you. Amen,

Happy feast day St. Joseph, I can't wait to greet you and smile joyously, for I trust you as the truest friend of man and the humblest servant of God. You are upright, just and completely self-effacing. Jesus the son of God revered and honoured you as his father. How much more should we? I love your care for Mother Mary, the Bethlehem scene, the Presentation, the flight to Egypt, the finding of our Lord Jesus, and his obedience to you. Dear Saint, who is remembered as the patron saint of the universal church, guard and guide her, and preserve, restore her always. St. Joseph, patron saint of the dying thank you for being with my dying mother, she has found eternal rest. St. Joseph powerful saint there's nothing you will deny us when we ask on your feastday. I implore you to give healing and complete cure for all children who are born with pervasive developmental delays. Give them a permanent cure. Heal my daughter who will be going in for tonsillectomy, grant us safe travel too. Amen.

Dear St Joseph, thank you for praying for my case to Jesus. Prayers answered and the friendship between C and I was not only strengthened, but also improved especially through the meet-up we had. Thank You Lord Jesus for answering my prayers through the intercessions of St Joseph also.
The Prayer to St Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for Me.

Dear St. Joseph, as I write to you, lighten my heavy heart and gladden me, I'm journeying for the past 2 years with my aged mother who is 94 years old. She has become so frail, so tired and so weak, it is difficult for her and for us to witness this condition, for she was always hale, hearty and healthy. Help me give thanks to God for the good, healthy and prayerful years that she lived. Now, as she lies on her deathbed, I implore you, dear, loving and protective saint to stay at her side, never to leave her. May she be accompanied by Mother Mary and you when she presents her soul to Jesus. My wish is to be by her bedside when this holy moment happens. St. Joseph, patron of a holy death answer my prayers. Amen.

As a father I feel a humble closeness/connection to St Joseph. I often pray to him for guidance, support and protection of my family. I wish there was more information available on his life and Joys and Sorrows. His faith and trust in God are so inspiring, his life dedicated to the care and protection of his family. I wish I had the faith to let go of my fears and allow God to guide my life as he did St Joseph. Thank you for posting this information.

Homestead Mayor Steven Bateman's Top Shadiest Moments
Boy, Steven Bateman doesn't know when to quit. Today, the Miami Herald published an article about another suspicious deal involving the Homestead mayor that appears riddled with conflicts-of-interest. It's becoming a pattern that has spawned separate investigations by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office and the Miami-Dade Ethics Commission into Bateman's cozy relationships with people and entities that rely on Homestead city government for approvals. Steven Bateman
The latest Bateman debacle involves nonprofit agency Community Health of South Florida Inc., which is paying the mayor $125 an hour -- more than $4,5000 for one week's work -- to be its construction consultant. Bateman allegedly failed to publicly disclose his lucrative gig to the City Council and Miami-Dade County officials while he's been lobbying on behalf of Community Health. As a council member, Bateman must also publicly excuse himself from voting on any matters involving Community Health.
Bateman has a history of acting squirrelly since first elected mayor in 2009. Here's a timeline of his shadiest moments in office:
January 2010: The city pays A&B Paint & Body Shop $1,303 to repair significant damage to the front and rear of Bateman's city-owned Ford Expedition. Then-city manager Sergio Purriños claimed that one of the SUV's rear tires blew out while Bateman was on his way to Gainesville. The disintegrated tire caused the damage to the vehicle's bodywork, Purriños insisted. But no accident report was recorded and text messages between Purriños and Bateman suggested they were trying to keep the damage to the Ford under the lid. In one of the messages, Purriños wrote to Bateman: "Been up since early, just left the office, but don't worry the fire has been put out."
October 2011: During his re-election campaign, Bateman collected $5,500 in political donations from the owners of Prime Home Builders, a company that went from owing $114,000 in fines to city to just paying $802 after the mayor allegedly intervened on their behalf. According to Purriños, Bateman also ordered him to rescind a $10,499 electric bill racked up by the mayor's friend Joseph Strano.
January 2012: Local videographer Jorge Delgado sued the city, alleging Homestead officials stiffed him on a $8,200 bill to produce a video about Bateman. In his complaint, Delgado alleged that he ended up cutting a video Bateman used for his reelection campaign. He also claimed Bateman's city-paid personal assistant, Lourdes Llanos, hired him and directed him. That means the mayor may have broken state election law which prohibits candidates from using taxpayer resources for political campaigns. However, a subsequent ethics commission probe could not find probable cause to charge Bateman.

"Great program, terrible company"
Easy to use, simple but full featured.
Unethical marketing practices
Although CNET shows it's a 14 day trial and $99 to buy, you won't find any of that on the vendors website. They claim it's free, and aside from the fact that there's the option to buy it, there's NOTHING that states what the free version limitations or time limit is (they don't say it's a trial, so you don't know it's one until it warns you it's going to expire in a couple days). After the trial shuts you out, if you uninstall some have said that there is an option to downgrade to a free, limited version. What the limits are is impossible to determine without actually doing it. I went ahead and paid for it, and it's still prompting me to install ask.com toolbars and download other trial software they make sometimes when I exit (in addition to already installing some trial inventory and CD burning software I didn't authorize).
As far as the program functionality, it worked perfectly for my needs. It's fairly light, but saves customer info, has basic reporting etc. I haven't had to upgrade or do a reinstall yet, but from the licensing terms it looks like it's pretty easy to end up having to pay for it again. If another software does what you need, I would use it instead. I tried several other free programs, and it became more costly to dig through them than to just buy this and move on, so I did. But I'm very unhappy with how they treat their customers, both before and after purchasing the paid version.

In Abu Dhabi today, it isn't always clear precisely where the red lines are. To pursue its mandate, The National had to refuse to blindly accept what government officials said as the final (indeed, the only) word on local issues. But as the launch approached, questions still lingered about how far the paper could push its reporting. Two months before the launch, Newland issued a memo to his staff that warned them not to expect to undertake the hard-hitting investigative journalism they might have hoped to, especially when it came to the country's most sensitive issues, like business corruption, labor conditions, or relations with other Arab countries. "Understand now that we are not here to fight for press freedom," Newland wrote. "We are here to produce a professional, commercially viable newspaper. Press freedom is a byproduct of this. The more we zero in on templated 'red-line' stories at the expense of human interest and the ordinary narrative of life in the UAE, the more we look like a foreign newspaper, peering into the goldfish bowl.
"Often, the human-interest narrative is the way into a red-line story anyway," the memo continued. "We cannot adopt the stance of the exasperated Westerner. We go at the country's cultural pace. Do not pick small fights if there is a bigger one to be won down the road. If in doubt, ask."
Newland has run newspapers for his share of eccentric proprietors. But none has wielded as much power or wealth as Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi, who is next in line to be the UAE's president. The city-state that Sheikh Mohammed inherited is a fairly boring, ridiculously wealthy place. He is focused on transforming it into an international hub—a Singapore or New York on the Persian Gulf—so that long after the oil is gone, Abu Dhabi can still be one of the world's great cities.
Sheikh Mohammed's strategy is to use Abu Dhabi's wealth to entice some of the world's most prestigious brands to set up operations here. Ferrari is building a theme park. The Louvre is building a museum. Both the Sorbonne and New York University are building campuses. Others are coming to build ships, develop aerospace parts factories, devise renewable energy technology, and so on.
But despite all this, a persistent lack of sophistication—or the perception of it—shrouds Abu Dhabi. The mysterious governing techniques of a ruling family that still issues decrees from behind the palace gates, for instance, seem medieval. And Sheikh Mohammed knows that without international credibility, Abu Dhabi will never be taken seriously by its international partners. For Sheikh Mohammed, establishing a Western-run, top-quality newspaper is one way to show that his city-state is ready to face the same sort of media scrutiny expected in the most credible capitals of the world. It's a sign of maturity. "It's what the crown prince desperately needs," says Christopher Davidson, a fellow at the Institute for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at Durham University and author of the forthcoming Abu Dhabi: Oil and Beyond.
Ten days after the launch, The National got its first chance to gauge its ability to challenge the version of the truth presented by authorities in Abu Dhabi. A three-year-old boy was discovered dead after being locked in a school bus that sat in the 110-degree heat for around four hours. The school denied any responsibility and the official explanation police settled upon, that the boy died from an "illness" unrelated to the heat, seemed to back up the school's position.
Reporters on The National's police desk suspected a cover-up. "This was just incredibly stupid. How could you even logically surmise that?" says Suleman Din, a former reporter at The Star-Ledger in Newark, who was working on The National's police desk at the time (he has since left the paper). "Even if the boy was going to die of an illness, he shouldn't have been locked in a bus for four hours."
Over the next several weeks, reporters advanced the story as they would have at the North American dailies some of them used to work on. They interviewed the boy's bereaved father; found the bus driver and interviewed him about discovering the boy's body; questioned school administrators, who continued to say they weren't to blame; they even wrote a story about the rise in suffocation deaths among young children left in vehicles in the UAE.

New Ultra-Low Noise RF LDO For Wideband Communications (Graphic: Business Wire)
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, announced today the release of ultra-low-noise LDO (low-dropout) regulators for RF (radio frequency) signal devices. The ADM7150/1 operate from 4.5 V to 16 V, provide up to 800-mA of output current and support output voltages from 1.5 to 5.0 V. The LDOs achieve an output-NSD (noise spectral density) of 1.4 nV/rtHz from 10 kHz to 1 MHz, which significantly reduces VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) phase noise in point-to-point microwave radios, satellite communications, defense electronics and other wideband applications. Additionally, a user adjustable C BYP can significantly reduce low frequency 1/f noise (8 nV/rtHz at 100 Hz) for precision analog front-end measurement systems.
- Order samples and download data sheets, reference designs and technical documents:
- Get questions answered by ADI engineers on EngineerZone™, ADI's online technical support community: http://ez.analog.com/community/power
In addition to ultra-low noise, the ADM7150/1 achieve line and load transient responses of 0.01%/V and 0.4%/A respectively with a 10-µF ceramic output capacitor. The new LDOs also feature high PSRR (power-supply rejection ratio) performance of greater than 90 dB from 1 kHz to 100 kHz, and greater than 60 dB at 1 MHz. This effectively filters DC-DC switching regulator ripple, saving space by minimizing the size of discrete filtering components normally needed.

Extra vitamin E — is it safe? | related questions Originally Published: September 20, 1996 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: July 8, 2011 |
Share this |
I've been taking a daily supplement of 400 IUs of Vitamin E. I recently bought a bottle of 1000 IUs, and a friend told me that that's too much to take, and could even be bad for me. Is that true?
Dear Reader,
As with other vitamins, nutrients and minerals, it is often best to get your vitamin E by eating a varied and healthy diet rather than using supplements — unless your doctor or other medical care provider specifically recommends otherwise. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin E in individuals 14 years or older is 22.5 IU (15mg). If a woman is breastfeeding, that requirement increases to 28.5 IU (19mg). There is no need to exceed the RDA level of intake unless you have been diagnosed with a vitamin E deficiency or a condition that would put you at risk for a deficiency. With those numbers in mind, you may find that taking 1000 IU, or even 400 IU, of vitamin E daily over the long term can do some damage to your wallet (and possibly your body) without much benefit.
If you have been taking vitamin E supplements, you don't need to worry just yet; it does not appear to be harmful in large doses of up to 1500 IU per day over a short period of time. However, recent studies have shown that taking supplements of over 400 IU over the long term is associated with an increased risk of mortality (from all causes). The reason for this association is not clear and some of these studies have been criticized due to flaws in their designs. However, you might want to consider your reasons for taking vitamin E supplements before adding them to your routine over an extended period of time. Remember, vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin. This means that any excess of the vitamin is stored in the body rather than excreted like water-soluble vitamins. Getting too much of fat soluble vitamins (others include vitamins A, D, and K) can lead to build-up in your body.
Don't forget that the pills are not the only source of vitamin E going into your body; you will also be getting vitamin E through foods such as:
- almonds, peanuts, filberts
- wheat germ, cereal grains
- turnip greens, broccoli, spinach, leafy greens
- peaches, strawberries
- egg yolks
- milk fat
- liver
- sunflower and safflower oils
Finally, as with any dietary supplement, the amount of vitamin E in each pill can vary greatly because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate nutritional supplements. That is, your 400 IU supplement may contain much more or much less vitamin E than what is listed on the label. So, if you feel a vitamin E supplement is a good choice for you, it would be wise to speak with your health care provider about how much to take and how to find a reliable supplement brand. In the meantime, feel free to grab a leafy green salad with almonds and a little sunflower oil — that should hold you over!

What if I told you, you were getting three gifts at the end of today. Because you are..actually more than three but let's start with three. I know it's probably not your birthday. Chances are it's your unbirthday..remember they told you about them in "Alice and Wonderland?" You get 364 unbirthdays. And there are unbirthday gifts every day. At the end of the day, when you get home you'll find them. Chances are they've been sitting at your house for a while and you haven't seen them because you had no idea where to look.
Has that ever happened? The UPS guy dropped off packages at your house but went to the wrong door. The door you never use. Maybe it's the door that leads to the back deck but you always come through the garage so you would never think to look there. Maybe that's where your gifts are.
And because you haven't been looking for these gifts, there's a huge pile of them by now. Because they don't stop coming.
Tonight, when the dishes are washed and the kids are doing their homework or in bed and your spouse is watching tv..or maybe it's just you and you are done winding down from the day... go look for your gifts.
I found three last night. I just had to search a few minutes. The first one. My husband. He took an incredibly fussy 2 year old and calmed him down with the magic of blueberry waffles and a soft, sweet demeanor that only my husband could muster at that point. He showed me how to be patient.
The second one. My close friend Dianne. As I thought back on the day she stood out. My friend who walks into a room and the words "How's it going? How can I help?" roll off her tongue every time. My friend who always has time to listen. My friend the producer who was in the booth and in my ear during Great Day yesterday and her comments just made me smile. Again, she's asking the hosts "how are you doing?" when she has the most stressful job during the show. She shows me how to put others first.
And the last gift, the smell of fresh snow as I walked out of the station last night. It just hit me in the face as I opened the door as if it were greeting me saying, "your work day is over and now it's time to just chill with your family."
So these gifts. They are there. And it's really funny how when you take the time to look for them..the whole day shifts in your mind. All of a sudden you think of those gifts instead of the frustrations, stresses and annoyances of the day. What's really great is that the gift delivery person never stops bringing the gifts. NEVER.
Go open that backdoor and see what's there. And keep track of them. Write them down. I am. That way when all I see is what I don't have or what's not going right I can look up the gifts and remember. And shift. And be thankful. Every day.

Hurrah! No More Elephants to Be Enslaved by Indian Circuses
Congratulations are in order for our friends over at PETA India today! After a nine-month-long investigation of circuses across the country revealed widespread cruelty, the Animal Welfare Board of India has just decided to end the registration of elephants for performances – effectively putting a stop to the suffering of circus elephants.
PETA India's investigation of 15 circuses documented rampant apparent violations of animal-welfare laws, including animals dying from inadequate care, mysteriously "going missing", denied veterinary care for injuries and being handled by drunken staff members. Elephants – who roam over … Read more.

New England's Largest Solar System Opens on a Brownfield Site in Brockton, Mass.
The City of Brockton, Massachusetts, inaugurated the largest solar power plant in New England on October 27 in front of a group of state and local officials. The power plant is rated at 425 kilowatts (kW) and is built on the remediated site of a 19th century gasworks.
Located 25 miles south of Boston, Brockton is known for its high concentration of recycling and trash processing facilities because they can operate on brownfield sites that are too contaminated for housing or modern commercial use. Project organizers say the solar project will help change the image of Brockton and attract new industry. Schott representatives have talked with the city about eventually expanding the capacity at the site to 1 megawatt.
The plant was built within its budget of $3.1 million, which will be paid through $1.6 million in city bond, a grant of $1 million from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust, and a grant of $789,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy Million Solar Roofs Program. The Brockton City Council voted on March 13 to authorize Brockton Mayor James Harrington to sign the contract with Global Solar, Inc., to build the plant. The city will sell electricity and renewable energy credits to Constellation NewEnergy, which is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and supplies electricity to customers in deregulated markets on the East Coast. The city expects to earn about $130,000 per year from the sales and thus recoup its initial investment in about 20 years.
At the inauguration, Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust Director Warren Leon said, "The city's execution of this contract represents another important milestone for a project that will generate clean electricity, help educate people about the need for alternative energy sources and stand as a symbol of what is possible when leaders from the public and private sectors work together toward a cleaner energy future for Massachusetts."
For details about the inauguration, see the SCHOTT North America October 26 press release.
The electricity generated at the Brockton solar power plant will avoid the emission of about 595,300 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. That is the equivalent carbon reduction to taking 45 cars off the road or planting 89 acres of trees. In addition, the project also avoids emissions of 1,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 370 pounds of nitrogen oxide per year.
The project was part of Brockton Solar Champions, which has also helped support other solar installations in the city. For example, Brockton is the site of Johnson Square Village, the first 100 percent solar condo project in New England. And since September 2004, the roof of Brockton High School supports a solar power system rated at 2.4 kW.

What Exactly is the Perfect Pod Holster?
The Pod Holster is a durable plastic cup that is the same size as a k cup. It contains a lid and a self-tamping spring. To use it, you simply squeeze a pod (55mm and larger) and stuff it into the holster. Close the lid making sure the pod is pressed flat against the lid. Insert the Pod Holster into the k cup brewer and close the lid. The pod will be punctured and hot water will flow into the pod and brewing begins.
Read Reviews / View or Buy Pod Holster
See it for Yourself
Any Helpful Tips on Using One?
Make sure that you have the pod pushed up against the lid so that it will puncture properly when the brewer lid is closed. You want water flowing straight into the pod. If it is sagging, then the puncture isn't effective and grounds will come out. If you don't do this properly, you risk a lot of grounds getting into your cup of coffee.
Use the recommended size pods of 55mm and larger! If you use smaller pods, don't be surprised that your coffee is weaker than you thought it would be.
Works great with tea bags as well. Just remember to pack the bag in so that it is snug against the closed lid. You can push up on the spring and taming pad if you need to.
Most Helpful Perfect Pod Holster Review Pros:
Most customers loved the fact that this product opens up the beverage availability even more. The Keurig k cups already have a great variety of coffee, tea and other beverages, and there are products out there that allow you to use your own coffee, and now this product allows you to even use pods!
Pod clean up is much cleaner and easier than a reusable filter or My Kap.
Many Pod Holster users noted they enjoyed the cost savings due to pods being much cheaper than k cups.
There is also a product available called the Perfect Pod Maker that allows you to use your own grounds and make a sealed pod. This pod can be used in the Pod Holster, allowing you even more beverage choices and less expense.
Most Helpful Perfect Pod Holster Review Gripes:
Few complained of weak coffee, but this should not be an issue if you follow the recommendation of using 55mm pods and larger.
Some folks felt that even though pods are cheaper than k cups, they are not as much of a savings as they would like. These customers opted for a reusable filter over the Holster.
Is the Perfect Pod Holster Right for Me?
It really all boils down to what you want, how much you want to spend, and what you are willing to do to achieve that. If you are in it for the cost savings, and you really like the idea of the easy clean-up of using pods, then the Pod Holster along with a Pod Maker may be right up your alley. The pod maker allows you to use your own coffee grounds and make your own pods. You get clean, inexpensive single-cup brewing.
However, if that all sounds like too much work for you, and you don't mind the expense of pods, then the pod holster is still a great option. It will expand your beverage choices, your single-cup coffee will be less expensive than using new k cups each time, and you don't have a big mess to clean up or a lot of prep work to do.
If you are looking at expense as your biggest motivator, then you might just go with a reusable filter or k cup caps.
How Much Money Am I Saving By Using the Perfect Pod Holster?
Your amount of savings will depend on a few things. One, do you plan on using pods off the shelf or do you plan to make your own? In the first case, you simply take your coffee of choice for both pods and k cups and compare price per serving. For the latter, you would have to calculate how many pods you can make with a bag of your favorite coffee and how much that bag costs you to get your per serving cost. I can tell you, if you make your own it will be cheaper, but it is up to you if you want to get that involved in prep to save money.
In conclusion, you now have an idea about what the Perfect Pod Holster is and what it can do. You just have to assess whether or not it suites your brewing needs. It can make your single-cups of coffee less expensive, but by how much depends on you and what you are willing to do. Pod Holster expands your options for beverages, and that is always a good thing.


text: At each Grand Prix meeting all race drivers may participate in two one and a half-hour practice sessions on Friday (Thursday at Monaco), another one-hour session on Saturday morning and a qualifying session on Saturday afternoon.In practice, teams are limited to two cars per session. A nominated third driver or either race driver can use these cars in the session. While individual practice sessions are not compulsory, a driver must take part in at least one Saturday session to be eligible for the race. Saturdays one-hour qualifying session is split into three distinct parts, each with multiple drivers on track simultaneously, and each with the drivers running as many laps as they want:Q1: All 22 cars may run laps at any time during the first 15 minutes of the hour. At the end of the first 15 minutes, the six slowest cars drop out and fill the final six grid places.Q2: After a seven-minute break, the times will be reset and the 16 remaining cars then will then run in a second 15-minute session - again they may complete as many laps as they want at any time during that period. At the end of the 15 minutes, the six slowest cars drop out and fill places 11 to 16 on the grid.Q3: After a further eight-minute break, the times are reset and the final 15-minute session will feature a shootout between the remaining 10 cars to decide pole position and the starting order for the top 10 grid places. Again, these cars may run as many laps as they wish.In the first two 15-minute sessions, cars may run any fuel load and drivers knocked out after those sessions may refuel ahead of the race. However, the top-ten drivers in the final 15-minute session may only replace the fuel they used during that session before the start of the race.If a driver is deemed by the stewards to have stopped unnecessarily on the circuit or impeded another driver during any practice session, then they may drop the driver such number of grid positions that they consider appropriate.

Comparison - Sony Xperia S vs Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S
by Jonathan Cheah
29 January 2012 - The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S was announced in September 2011 and the Sony Xperia S was announced during CES 2012. The latter device is the successor to the Arc S, and also the third in the series, the first being the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. You may have noticed that Ericsson is no longer a partner in the venture, and we writers just love the shorter brand just fine.
Visually, the older device looks a little more enticing with its curvy edges. The new device has dropped the word 'Arc' from its name and consequently has none of the curved edges on the older Arc devices.
The Sony Xperia S is a little heavier (144 vs 117g) and larger (4.3 vs 4.2-inch screen) and has much better screen resolution (720 x 1280 pixels against 480 x 854 pixels). The camera is now a 12-megapixel one against the 8-megapixel camera of the preceding device, and it records 1080p video, a step up from the 720p video of the older device.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S runs a 1.4MHz single-core processor against the faster 1.5MHz dual-core processor on the newer device. The newer Xperia S also has double the system memory (1024 vs 512 MB RAM).
On paper alone, the Sony Xperia S outdoes the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S at almost everything, which is about as much as we expect for a newer version of any phone. However, the Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread) on both devices may prove to be a handicap in a time when its rivals are gearing up with Android OS 4.0 (Ice-Cream Sandwich).
We do expect the Sony Xperia S to be introduced in Malaysia at around RM2000, which is what new Sony flagships cost these days. When it will show up is something we can't quite tell you yet, but last year the Sony Ericsson Arc was in Malaysia within a month of CES. It makes sense that this will go on sale fairly quickly, before the older Android OS is no longer wanted by consumers.

Sony Xperia S (£389.99 approx. RM 1900)
3.5G HSDPA + WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Touchscreen candybar, 12.0 MP camera, 32GB Memory, Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread)
Sony Xperia S was announced at CES 2012 with a 4.3-inch 720p display and some pretty impressive specs - a gap-free laminated Reality Display. The Xperia S features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 12-megapixel Exmor R camera sensor, NFC support, and PlayStation certification.
According to Sony, it'll come with Android 2.3 and not Ice Cream Sandwich, at least not until second quarter of the year. And the Xperia S comes in black and white – for now.

The Xperia Arc S is revised version of the original Xperia Arc. Sony Ericsson has bumped up the processor to 1.4GHz and added 3D and 2D sweep panorama photography. Among other features would be similar with the original Xperia arc including 4.2-inch Reality display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine (480 x 854 resolution pixels), 8.1-megapixel camera with Exmor R image sensor, 320MB internal storage and supports microSD card up to 32GB.
Plus, Sony Ericsson has also introduced Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services to Xperia smartphones soon. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S comes in five colors, Pure White, Midnight Blue, Misty Silver, Gloss Black and Sakura Pink. It is expected to release in October 2011.

Top Ten Political Events of 2009
Economic Crisis and Fiscal Incompetence
While it is obvious that the decline in the economy and the rise of unemployment above 10% make one of the most important stories of the year, the government response to this crisis is really an even bigger story. The decision to address the crisis with uncontrolled and poorly directed spending, causing further economic decline and an exploding debt which may be impossible to resolve without defaulting on debt obligations, will have consequences which last for decades. Gross fiscal irresponsibility including bailouts for favored industries, handouts to political allies and the largest budget increase in history while continuing to escalate the war in Afghanistan showed such economic ignorance, greed and irresponsibility that it actually woke the sleeping voters and may lead to one of the greatest political upheavals of our times in 2010. More Coverage.
The Rise of the Liberty Movement
The economic crisis spurred the emergence of a powerful non-partisan movement for smaller government, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty. The people rose up in the millions and shouted "stop" at a government they view as out of control. This was manifested in the Tea Party protests and a rise in activism from independent voters as well as a pronounced political shift to the right on economic issues in the Republican Party. As the people expressed their displeasure in the streets and in the polls and in raising spokesmen like Glenn Beck to national prominence, Republican legislators actually heard the message and stood firm in opposition to every major spending measure in the Congress in a remarkable show of political resolve. More Coverage.
When Russian hackers released a decade worth of emails between top climate scientists it stopped the efforts of global socialists to implement draconian environmental regulation dead in its tracks. The evidence of a conspiracy to manipulate, misrepresent and conceal scientific data was impossible to write off and it eviscerated the Copenhagen Climate Conference and left Al Gore hanging in the wind. More Coverage.
The Health Care Debacle
The health care debate exposed the dark and rotten underbelly of partisan politics to the public in a way which hadn't been seen since the days of Richard Nixon. An awakened electorate got to watch Democrat leaders engaging in every kind of bullying and bribery to pass legislation to which their constituents were overwhelmingly opposed both on the right and left. The issue served as a vehicle for exposing partisan corruption of the media and the disdain of legislators for any interests but those of the political class. As voters watched in horror their eyes were opened to the blatant corporate takeover of the establishment left and the gross corruption of the political process. More Coverage.
Liberty Defiant in Honduras
With international interests including the United States arrayed against them, the people of Honduras defied the world by demanding that the rule of law and the legitimacy of their constitution be recognized in opposition to the attempt of Marxists to subvert their political system. Despite all the forces arrayed against them, the people of Honduras prevailed and remained free. More Coverage.
John Mackey Speaks Out
Everyone is picking Sully Sullenberger as their hero of the year, but his remarkable competence was not expressly political in nature. The real political hero of the year was John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods who defied his own left-leaning customers and risked one of the most successful emerging businesses of the decade by defending his vision of 21st century capitalism and publicly suggesting some rational alternatives to Obamacare based on his successful experiments in his own business.

Unrest in Iran
After a suspect election led to protests, government crackdowns led to further protests and further crackdowns to the point where Iran has developed a serious anti-government movement with the potential for a revolutionary uprising. The heavy handed violence of government forces in attacking protesters and assassinating outspoken opponents has shredded the mask of democracy which had cloaked the harsh rule of the Mullah oligarchy. The combination of middle class discontent, angry and persecuted ethnic minorities and a young population fed up with cultural isolation may be too volatile for the theocratic regime to keep under control.

The UndieBomber
A madman with flaming underpants reminded us at the end of the year that the problems with international terrorism and defending the homeland were far from resolved. The convoluted process by which ample warnings of his intentions were ignored and mishandled showed both problems in our current security apparatus, but also the failures of the administration as they responded with pathetic denials and ridiculous suggestions for impractical responses. It also gave us new heroes in the passengers of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 who took action where the government had failed and saved their own lives on Christmas in the air over Detroit.

The Scozzafava Disaster
The tumult surrounding the candidacy of Dede Scozzafava in the 23rd Congressional District in New York exposed the weaknesses of both the Republican establishment and the rising far-right opposition. The selection of Scozzafava by the political leadership of the state showed a disregard for the preferences of Republican voters which led to a backlash in support of what turned out to be a very unappealing alternative in the form of inarticulate boob Douglass Hoffman. The far right tried to flex its muscles and managed to force Scozzafava out of the race, but Hoffman was just too weak a candidate and they ended up giving the seat to the Democrats. There is an important lesson about compromise and listening to the people to be learned here, but it remains to be seen whether any of the factions in the GOP will heed it. Read More.
The Return of Sarah Palin
For good or ill, 2009 showed us that Sarah Palin was not just a flash in the pan and was not going to go away. Despite continued derisionm from the media and the left and despite the refusal of blue state bookstores to even stock her campaign memoir, she made the top of the bestseller list and was very well received in her nationwide tour. She continued to demonstrate that whatever her shortcomings, she is unflappable and continues to have a strong national appeal. Read More.
Also Noteworthy
If I were greedy I'd want to pick an 11th and 12th story deserving of recognition for 2009. #11 would be the purge of grassroots activists in the Republican Party of Florida and the backlash which looks likely to unseat State Chair Jim Greer. This struggle is a microcosm of the fight between the GOP grassroots and establishment which is going on nationwide. #12 would be the very conservative Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous ruling granting gay marriage rights in that very red state on firm constitutional grounds, a strong reminder that the defense of individual rights is a conservative position.
We should all have such "Fiscal Incompetence"
How is it possible that it has escaped your attention that the Obama Administration inherited a financial shit storm and yet, not even 11 months later every economic indicator is improved?
- Consumer Confidence Index - Dec 09 =52.9; Dec 08 = 38
- Leading Economic Indicators - Dec 09 =105; Dec 08 = 99
- Weekly initial jobless claims, 4 week moving average - Dec 2009 = 460,250; Dec 2008=544,000
- New car sales 09 = 839,600; Dec 08 697,633
- Dow (peak) - Dec 2009 = 10,500; Dec 08=9,250
- GDP, most recently reported quarter - Dec 09 =+2.2%; Dec 2008=-2.7%
- US rail traffic - Dec 09 vs Dec 08 =+4.8%; Dec 08 vs Dec 07=-39.1%
What a shame that the Bush Administration wasn't this "fiscally incompetent".
Thank God John McCain lost.
You do notice that 3Q GDP got marked-down from 3.5%
Still spiking the ball prior to entering the end zone I see. And hmm, no debt projections. I thought Paul Krugman in '07 was apoleptic about an annual $200B fiscal deficit; we've had months that bad under the new crew.
BTW, didn't a tax break on car sales expire last night?. Let's see what Jan 10 looks like. In any event an annual sales rate of under 10M units is still unmitigated disaster for the domestic auto business.
You do notice that +2.2% is higher than -2.7%????
You do notice that +2.2% is higher than -2.7%????
BTW, JD Power is predicting growth in 2010 - their forecast is for 11.5 million vehicles.
The Obama Administration will continue to clean up the messes that it inherited.
+2.2% ="jobless recovery"
Let's see what happens when the millions of "discouraged workers" try and re-enter the labor force.
11.5M auto sales is still pretty depressed from a "normal" level of over 15M. At some point the US auto market "has" to come back simply because cars wear out. Problem is I suspect that it will be driven more to low-priced Korean brand models out of the consumer's economic necessity. Which means we've basically poured tens of billions into GM and Chrsyler to protect the UAW ala "American Leyland"; we'll never see the money again..
And perhaps the clean-up would go faster if the janitor didn't throw his own crap on the floor?
Allow me to repeat
Weekly initial jobless claims, 4 week moving average - Dec 2009 = 460,250; Dec 2008=544,000
We will probably see job growth in January - although inemployment will still be too high throughout 2010 and probably 2011, thanks to the massive whole that George Bush blew in our economy.
How much further are you going to move the goal post - first you said 10 million was a disaster, now you are saying that 11.5 million is a disaster?
Look at this chart:
Sure you want to keep on blaming the situation on Obama? (Actually, you probably do, since factual evidence seems to be utterly meaningless to you.)
As this cart proves, if you are not happy with the level of auto sales, you can blame George Bush.
Looks like the "improvement" stalled. Fine, you want to define 450K weekly claims is good. Go ahead.
As for the diff between 10M and 11.5M car sales, if you want to say waterboarding is better than drowning go right ahead.
What I define as good is job growth, which we will see
in January. Possibly as soon as the next report.
In the meantime, as I said in my top comment, economic indicator have improved. And yes, Ironman - a smaller bad number is better than a bigger bad number. I have heard it said that most lawyers went into the trade because they were too bad at math to make it as accountants. You seem determined to prove this point.
Look at that chart above - who was President when car sales started their precipitous decline, and why are you blaming Obama for it?
Incidentally, you are the one who argues that waterboarding is perfectly OK and is in no way like drowning - not me.
Re: Sarah Palin
"She continued to demonstrate that whatever her shortcomings, she is unflappable and continues to have a strong national appeal."
At the Gaurdian, Hadley Freeman wrote a brilliant column, The noughties are defined by fakery. It ties together Avatar, fake science, and Palin in an end-of-the-decade tribute.... It's such a good read it's quite hard to excerpt:
The noughties are defined by fakery
And the most embarrassing example has been the rise of 'fake science', which values naivety over facts – a bit like Sarah Palin
Much criticism – positive and negative – has already been ladled on Ego "James" Cameron's latest film, Dancing with Smurfs, aka Avatar. But one point that has not been discussed is how much Sarah Palin would enjoy it.
On the one hand, considering that this movie features the most simplistic racial stereotypes since Star Wars' Jar Jar Binks did his best Butterfly McQueen impression for George Lucas, Avatar is an obvious winner for Palin. After all, she is the woman who, according to her father, left Hawaii University because there were too many Asians there for her liking: "They were a minority-type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home," said Chuck Heath.
On the other hand, as Avatar comes weighed down with anti-war sentiments, topped with some environmental awareness waffle (if discussions about trees having "energy" count as environmental awareness, as opposed to cod-spiritual ethno-tourism you might expect from Sting and Trudie Styler), this may not be the obvious festive outing for la famille Palin. Sarah, of course, doesn't really believe in silly-billy man-made "climate change", describing it instead as "doomsday scare tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood". Doomsday? Priesthood? Has someone been reading Dan Brown?
All of this dovetails with the most important issue of the week: how to define the past decade. After all, the 80s had bling (according to Jay McInerney), the 90s had grunge (according to Winona Ryder). The noughties, or whatever we end up calling them, were surely defined by fakery: fake celebrities (anyone who came from reality TV); fake "reality" (see previous); faked news stories (Balloon Boy, which has since been compared to Orson Welles's War of the Worlds stunt – although, as far as I know, Orson wasn't trying to regain the power he had when he appeared on Wife Swap, as Balloon Boy's father, Richard Heene, was); fake fashion designers (any celebrity who sewed their name into the back of a badly made dress); fake friends (Facebook); and fake communication ("social" networking sites which tend to involve people sitting at home, alone, and not speaking). Sure, some of these things were around before Millennium New Year. But it was only afterwards that they became so ubiquitous and were given so much leeway.
That this decade should be summed up with the epithet of Fake is not so surprising, though, considering that we entered it with a fake – or "New" – Labour government, and then followed this with the fake election of a fake American president in 2000.
Yet perhaps the most embarrassing, not to mention damaging, fakery has been the rise of "fake science", which stems entirely from a fear of science and leads inexorably to no science at all. We saw this on a terrifying scale when George W Bush banned federal funding for stem cell research, and we see it on a pathetically comical scale with Prince Charles selling Duchy Herbals Detox Tincture. Sales of these kinds of supplements rise exponentially every year, just as stories about acai berries/pomegranates/whatever-the-trendy-fruit-is-this-week curing diseases continue to make headlines in respectable and unrespectable papers every week.
Michael Specter writes about the rise of fake science in his gripping new book, Denialism. Although Specter generally keeps his palpable anger at bay, it breaks through in his chapter about the MMR jab furore, with particular ire reserved for certain well-known names connected to it; namely, the actors Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, and Tony Blair. Yes, Blair is grouped with Ace Ventura and his girlfriend, the latter of whom has insisted that she knows the MMR jab causes autism because "there is an angry mob on my side". Specter writes (to Britain's shame): "What does it say about the relative roles that denialism and reason play in a society when a man like Blair, one of the democratic world's best-known and most enlightened leaders, refused at first to speak in favour of the MMR vaccine?"
That the MMR jab does not cause autism has been definitively proven by now, despite what McCarthy's angry mob maintains (she is said to be getting her own talk show, produced by that unfortunately frequent promoter of fake science, Oprah Winfrey). But fear of the jab has led to the rise of another illness: there were more cases of measles in 2006 and 2007 in England and Wales than in the previous 10 years combined.
Fake science values naivety over knowledge, as it harks back to a non-existent age of innocence before the so-called corrupting influence of modern medicine. Palin, too, has used this modus operandi: she is qualified to speak precisely because she is unqualified. She is untainted by biased things such as facts and experience. And that is why she would like Avatar: its depiction of "the noble savages" is, no doubt, a well-intended argument against the destruction of rainforests, but add in a couple of orange brush strokes and you have a Gauguin painting. It is patronising, simplistic and offensive, like Palin and fake science.
Last year, incidentally, Palin sneered at the allocation of federal funds to projects such as "fruit fly research". Unfortunately for her these silly fruit fly studies have led to a greater understanding of diseases such as, um, autism. Isn't science annoying?
Republicans looking to Democrats to fix everything, Why
Why are the republicans expecting the democrats to fix the mess that started underneath their watch, within months of taking office? When they didn't do anything? Well, the only thing I can think of is that they can't think of anything. Tax cuts didn't work. If they did, then why did we quickly implode in 2007? Ultimately the tax cuts led to the explosion of the deficit, that plus financing a trillion dollar war off the books and adding a HUGE unfunded expansion of benefits (prescription drug). By 2006-7, you'ld have expected that these tax cuts have kicked in as thousands of businesses reaped the benefits of lower taxes and took those savings and invested them into hiring and expanding their operations? Let's see maybe all that tax cut leads to growth is just nonsense and they only lead to higher deficits? Is there any other recent time period where tax cuts were immediately followed by high deficits that were immediately followed by a bad recession? Oh yeah the Reagan years that led to a recession in 1990 (Stock Market Collapse in 1987). When did we get out of that mess? Oh yeah when a Democrat took the Presidency. Surprise! No wonder conservatives think that Democrats will save the country and do it quick quick. That's what we do!
It took 8 years to get into this mess, but for some reason Republicans expect Democrats to have a magic wand that can be waved and within days return to Sunrise in America. I think that just demonstrates the trust that republicans have deep down in their black little hearts that Democrats will save the day. You don't hear them wondering why Cantor and his ilk aren't producing more 18 page budget plans. That would work!
So if you're really serious about solving this.
1. Go ahead produce a plan to reduce taxes to the level that you think will jumpstart the economy. I dare you!
2. Go ahead and produce a plan that would reduce government spending to where the budget is balanced. I double dog dare you! (Note: you're going to need to start by cutting over 1 trillion + the cost of the tax cuts from the $3.5 trillion. That's at least over 25% for those of you who can't figure it out. Here's a great link of how we're spending stuff to get you started. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_States_federal_budget
You'll note that 15% goes to defense department which I'll assume you won't touch since we're at war with people who won't sign a peace treaty with us even if we win. Expect these expedintures to increase as we continue to play wackamole around the world. Next stop: Yemen! Next stop: Nigeria! (HEY THERE"S OIL THERE GUYS! We can pay for the whole invasion off the royalties (Remember that lie?) ) And 15% goes to Social Security which I'll assume you won't touch. So you have to figure out how to cut from the remaining 70%. I'm including social security because I'm assuming that you'll cut payroll taxes. Please also remember that if you cut taxes, by say, 50% this is another say .5 trillion -1 trillion you'll need to come up with. For a few years at least until the tax cut unicorn arrives carrying the virgin of economic la-la land to deliver the nirvana of economic paradise.
So in summary: Deficit balancing: 1.5 trillion + tax cuts say (1 trillion or 50% of tax revenue) = 2.5 trillion (out of a 3.5 trillion budget) (Can't touch millitary and social security (Combined 1.25 trillion)
So we need to come up with a total of 2.5 trillion in cost savings. How do we do that?
So it looks like we shut the entire government down under your plan. No education funding, no road maintenance, no science funding, no homeland security (underware bombers will be very happy), no federal courts, no veterans affairs no NASA, no medicare, no earmarks, shut down all the federal prisons and let them out. Brilliant.
Good luck and keep up the great work! You're doing a hecka job!
Or just wave your arms and gnash your teeth bemoaning the democrats until suckers like you vote your "leadership" into office. You're obviously good at that.
Barack Obama was sold as the messiah who would fix everything. It's the country & those who voted for him who are looking for him to at least try to fix the problems that are out there, instead of making them worse.
I went to the RLC site and
I went to the RLC site and being from the Midwest with so many jobs lost, I see you are for free trade, but I wonder what you would do for lost jobs? Without doing anything, then you are asking for more welfare. And that is the situation today.
The economy was supposedly
The economy was supposedly dynamic under Bush, but even then we lost the jobs as the president said "free trade is good." China is manipulating its currency, so we don't have free trade.
Since we saw 8 years of our jobs going overseas, our money going to Iraq, and the neglect of our country, we are where we are. Along with deficits and debt, we will suffer many years of higher unemployment. History repeats itself and as LBj did "guns and butter" economics and we suffered many years of inflation/stagflation, Bush did the same "guns and butter." So we will see many years of higher unemployment.
The first sign of structural changes in the Midwest comes from the guru's on Wall Street and Washington who said we were going to be an information society and our manufacturing was targeted to go to other countries. We cannot compete with 2 to 3 billion cheap laborers in the world. States are grasping for cash for clunkers, extension of unemployment benefits, and casinos for every state.
In my town of 16,000 people we lost 3 factories and we are not talking of the whole area of dozens of lost factories and thousands of jobs. We can see the states cannot compete as Washington continues with failed policies. There are no new jobs to go to. The democrats wrongly protect and republicans ignore, or as they say "laissez-faire."
The problem is that they may not be the same jobs or in the same places, and that means that people who have lost their jobs need to be prepared to adapt, retrain and even relocate.
And here is my answer on that.
1. Invest in your country: That is energy independence. You do everything from drilling to nuclear plants, to alternative energy for security and for jobs. A new air traffic control system would give airlines to fly more direct routes, which means fuel savings. The money saved would go for new aircraft and that would create jobs.
2. Invest in your people: Mandatory vocational training. Everyone should have a skill by the time he graduates. Or at least have a consoler direct the student to the right direction. You will need an educated society to deal with globalization.
Hudson Institute > Promoting U.S. Worker Competitiveness in a Globalized Economy
3. Invest in the future. That is in all sciences and stop using religion to stop embryonic stem cell research. You do all the innovation you can. You also can maximize federal research grants and invest money into universities and businesses to create new researches and jobs. Right now there is no "new" jobs to go to.
Is America Losing Its Mojo? | Print Article | Newsweek.com
Most of what I see from the republican party is failed ideology. And it only takes management. And certainly I have been told that this would resemble socialism or some planned economy and nothing could be further from the truth. We used to do great things. Eisenhower built the interstate and we put men on the moon. Today, it is failed ideology and stay the course. The state sponsored monopolies are after the fact. The policies or no policies failed long before that.
These are old articles during the Bush administration. So, you can guess, I am bitter. You cannot run a country with neoconism, militarism, laissez-faire, the neglect of the country, or with religionism. And we saw it all in 8 years. So we know that democrats don't have the right policies and republicans have shown failed ideologies. Mostly it is the same o same o banter on these boards and I see nothing from both parties.
Why is this front-paged?
"Climategate"? Palin? Pantswetting terror about pants?
Keep this stuff in the peanut gallery with Skip's blogspam.
They're big stories
Perhaps not for those who worship "El Uno," but they are big stories for most everyone out in the real world.
The "real" world?
Would that be "real" America, or would that be the America that voted for---
You know what? Never you mind. Keep banging on "Climategate" and... huh, Nalle didn't mention ACORN, but you know what? That was probably the liberal conspiracy keeping him from doing so. You keep up the attack, pal -- keep the real world aware of what's going on.
(I'm not going to get to go back to voting Libertarian, am I...)
The Bush Excuse
No longer effective - it all belongs to Obama & the congressional Democrat leadership. We don't see a real attempt to fix the problems out there, what's being proposed & enacted is making it worse instead of better. It's time for Obama & the Dems to "man up" & take responsibility for the country - because they asked for that responsibility & now have it.
Well, the Good News on the "Blame Bush excuse"
Well, the good news on the Blame Bush excuse is that the Democrats kept using it beyond its expiration date, which was about 3 months ago.
Using it NOW, means it is beginning to smell when used.
At one time after a year after 911, the Democrats were complaining that Bush's 2 million new jobs that were generated was anemic, and we should be creating MORE jobs than a measly 2 Mill. Oh, would that those wonderful years were here again....but all we have is a Harvard Graduate who can't read "History of Recessions and how they were solved".
Our President isn't smarter than a 5th Grader.
What is the correct number of months to allocate for recovery
from the worst economic crisis in 75 years?
