Mother's Day is the grandaddy of all tricky, ticklish holidays.
Mack's feeling the pressure, anyway. Failure is inherent in the very nature of the holiday.
Your Mother gave birth to you, in pain and suffering, screaming most likely. She made more sacrifices and compromises for you than you've had hot dinners. Lost sleep. Loves you more than her own self and if you were trapped under a bus the chemicals in her system would give her super-powers to lift the bus.
So you're going to repay all that with-what? A box of chocolates? Some flowers?
Meanwhile, those of us who are married, with children, have another mother all up in our faces; and she too has sacrificed, given birth in pain, etc.
She must be honored, too. Lately, luckily, the kids- they're now 11,8, and 6-are able to take a bit of pressure off the Mack, making cards, presents, etc for their mother, my wife Pam, at school.
But when the kids are little, it's pretty much all on the husband. You have to honor her mother-role, but also be romantic, too. It's a tightrope. Diamonds are, of course, ideal. But so pricy!
If you have to err, err on the side of the romantic with the mother of your children. Flowers, yes, perhaps a nice dinner, with good wine-perhaps even prepared by you.
And do the dishes after. Being extra-assiduous on the domestic-duty front is always a smooth move. But never more so than on that day.
And God forbid you should be a bit cranky, churlish, selfish or obnoxious on Mother's Day. Last year, Mack admits it, Mack was a bit of a pill on Mother's Day and found himself in the mother of all marital tiffs.
Be xtra-nice, extra-patient to the mother of your children. Indulge and pamper her (spa-type gift certificates = always a good idea).
Meanwhile I think I'm going to take my mother out for dim sum on the day. She seems to like it.
Of course, I like it too, so I'm being a little bit selfish, I have an ulterior motive even on a day supposedly all about her.
But hey: she's a mom. She's used to all that.
Super Slim Xtreme Fast Weight Loss
Slim Xtreme worked really well and it's a shame we are "banned†from something that can help you lose fat fast. Whatever weight loss critics say you need to lose fat slowly, who does not want to get in great shape quickly?
Isn't that funny – with so many weight reduction supplements on the market, with hundreds before and after pictures, there is very limited number of supplements that can make you lose weight fast. And that would be supplements you can overhear from other people. So, let me tell you what I heard lately and what I did.
Thanks to my friends from Dallas, I just found new thing called Slim Fortune. It's kind of small capsule you take only once a day in the morning. It's totally herbal, safe as the company say, even there are some precautions exactly like with Slim Xtreme. And this little capsule does amazing thing – you don't want to eat, you feel a lot more energy and as your metabolism speeds up, you literally feel fat burning off. Slim Fortune starts working right away – from the first day you take it.
30 pounds in one month? Yeah. Why not?
Anabolic vs. Slimming Capsule
While I was looking for anabolic SlimXtreme I found there is one more SlimXtreme online. Different package, different pills. As a fact, different ingredients.
Both products offer very similar set of effects – increase of energy and stamina, appetite suppressing, increase in calorie expenditure and weight reduction effects.
While Anabolic one has a novel amino acid as an highly effective ingredient, the Slimming Capsule contains herbal extracts from Bitter Orange, Cassia seed, Mulberry Leaf, Jobstears Seed. It's also clearly announces that you can actually lose 15 to 20 pounds in one month. It's also has Fox News, CNN, Comcast, ABC and Today on the very bottom on their website, but there is no commericals on Youtube.com either. Don't you think it sounds a little bit off?
Anyway, see for yourself.
Anti-inflammatory Herb-Scute
Scute (Scutellaria Baicalensis) is one of the core ingredients of FlameEz?. It is also one of the most respected and utilized herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Scute was used safely for centuries in traditional medicine to treat allergies, infections, inflammation, cancer, and headaches. Its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties have been utilized in contemporary medicine. Recent research also reveals that Scute has anti-cancer and anti-allergy effects and benefits for treating diabetes and high blood pressure.Â
The root of Scute is a rich source of over 35 flavonoids. The main active ingredients modulating inflammation include baicalein, baicalin, and wogonin. They are potent free radical scavengers and xanthine oxidase inhibitors.
Scute has been the subject of intensive study. Based on published scientific and clinical research, Scute:
Inhibits proinflammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase-2, leukotriene B4, IL-1 beta, 12-lipoxygenase and prostaglandin E2*
Reduces production of nitric oxide and free radicals*
Reduces cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis of cancer cells*
Protects DNA from undergoing cancerous mutations*
Stimulates recombination and repair of damaged DNA*
Has antiviral/anti-HIV effects*
Inhibits type I and II hyper-sensitivity reactions in asthma and allergies*
Prevents the buildup of amyloid beta peptides in the brain and protects nerve cells from damage*
Relieves stomach damage and nausea caused by anti-cancer drugs and antiviral drugs used to treat AIDS*

Anti-aging Herb-Lycium
 Lycium is one of the main ingredients in FlameEz-Kidney and FlameEz-Glucose. Lycium has been considered to be a major anti-aging herb for over 2,500 years. This delicious fruit is very widely used as an excellent Yin Jing and blood tonic. According to Chinese pharmacopoeia, Lycium nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves vision, strengthens nonspecific immunity, prevents fatty liver, and reduces blood sugar. It has long been a favorite herb of Chinese athletes.
The Lycium fruit contains immunologically active polysaccharides (5-8%). The same polysaccharides also stimulate the secretion in the pituitary gland of human growth hormone, a powerful innate anti-aging hormone. Lycium is also very rich in vitamins and carotenoids. Being rich in trace minerals, Lycium contains significant amounts of zinc, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus, plus small quantities of many other minerals. The fruit also contains beta-sitosterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone and solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin and physalin), and betaine. Lycium contains 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 8 (including isoleucine and tryptophan) are indispensable amino acids for the human body.
Based on scientific and clinical research, Lycium:
Reduces beta-amyloid neurotoxicity;*
Promotes neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects;*
Reduces stress on endoplasmic reticulum and prevents cell aging;*
Improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood glucose;*
Reduces lipid peroxidation and DNA damage;*
Inhibits proliferation of cancer cells and promotes malignant cell apoptosis;*
Improves maturation and activity of immune cells.*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Lenses / Re: Canon Confirms Replacement of 100-400 Coming, More DO & EF-M Lenses
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:54:09 PM »I know I'm in the minority, but I sure hope the 100-400 replacement is a push-pull zoom.https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=advantages+of+push-pull+zoom+lens
At least two of us in that minority...
I have wondered about the pros/cons of push/pull zoom and found this link, which mentions the 100-400
Interesting discussions with personal preference perhaps a factor. I think the push/pull design has made way for the rotating ring mostly because of recent advances in autofocus. And just maybe the rotating ring may cost less to make??

PGAMA Sustainability Spotlight: EU Services
Sustainability for the printing sector is often defined in terms of product, process, and envelope. Taken together, these terms provide a useful "road map" of sustainability for a company's activities, products and services. All of these elements are important when defining sustainable printing operations.
- Product includes the design aspects and input material management to create the product.
- Process includes all manufacturing steps (e.g. prepress, press and postpress) involved with converting raw materials into a finished product including process by-products (e.g. solid wastes, air pollution and wastewater) that have an environmental, health and safety impact.
- Envelope includes all the manufacturing support activities and includes the building, grounds, utilities, employees, and other functions at an individual site.
In the third installment of PGAMA's Sustainability Spotlight we sat down with Art Simpson, Executive Vice President, Tom Loudon Vice President of Print Operations and Ian Pitcairn, Vice President of Operations at EU Services to talk about the evolution of their commitment to reduce the environmental impact in terms of product, process, and envelope at their Rockville, MD plant.

Options Available for PGAMA Members
On January 31, 2014 Clean Currents Green Energy Solutions, headquartered in Silver Spring, MD, announced that they have exited the retail electricity market place.

Boss hails star duo
Roy Hodgson has praised Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres. The pair are reaching their top form and Hodgson believes this is vital if Liverpool are to have a very good season. "It was an excellent goal [against Wigan], but that is what you expect from players of their ability. Everyone knows they are international stars of the Premier League," said the boss. "If we are going to do well this season we need those two firing on all cylinders, we need Torres's goals and Gerrard's manipulation and control of the midfield. "We only saw it in glimpses against Wigan whereas against Chelsea and in our previous victories against Napoli, Blackburn and Bolton it was present in much larger doses."

Ted Cruz, the GOP's Obama
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Ted Cruz is no Joe McCarthy, as so many liberals bizarrely claim. But he might be the conservative Barack Obama.
National Review editor Rich Lowry identified one plausible source of elite liberal hatred for Cruz: betrayal. "Cruz is from the intellectual elite, but not of it, a tea party conservative whose politics are considered gauche at best at the storied universities where he studied. He is, to borrow the words of the 2009 H.W. Brands biography of FDR, a traitor to his class." (I hate to correct my boss, but Brands didn't coin that phrase).
In 2012, Obama said the "most important lesson" of his first term was that "you can't change Washington from the inside." You need populist pressure from the outside. This was an odd claim on two counts. First, it's not true. His signature achievement, the Affordable Care Act, was an entirely inside affair, an ugly partisan one involving mercenary horse-trading and countless backroom deals with industry and unions. Second, Obama, the community organizer, always believed salvation lay in organizing a movement. It was the premise at the heart of his 2008 campaign in which he told adoring throngs, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." It says something about Obama's arrogance that his biggest lesson from his first term was that he was right all along.
Cruz's fight to defund ObamaCare rests on a similar outsider approach using the Tea Party and allied groups. As he recently told radio host Hugh Hewitt, "The strategy on this all along has been directed not toward Washington but toward the American people. It has been directed toward building a grassroots tsunami."

Churchill tipped for Great Briton crown
Sir Winston Churchill has been tipped as the bookmakers' favourite to win the title of the greatest Briton of all time.
The prime minister who led Britain through World War II is one of 10 people on the shortlist for the BBC Two series Great Britons. Bookmakers Ladbrokes has put Sir Winston as 2-1 favourite to win the public vote, ahead of William Shakespeare at 3-1 and Isaac Newton at 5-1.
A list of 100 people from past and present were originally shortlisted, including surprises such as music stars John Lydon and Boy George. These were eventually whittled down to 10, cutting names such as Sir Paul McCartney and Captain James Cook.
Ladbrokes have given odds for the final 10 with Charles Darwin currently in fourth place on 6-1 and John Lennon on 9-1. Outsiders include Horatio Nelson on 14-1, Diana, Princess of Wales at 20-1 and Oliver Cromwell at 25-1. A weekly series presented by Anne Robinson will profile each of the 10 finalists with celebrities and commentators arguing the case for their own particular favourites. Weakest Link presenter Robinson has already made her opinion of the Princess of Wales's inclusion in the final 10 clear, saying her nomination had "dumbfounded" her. BBC Two controller Jane Root said: "I think the top 10 is a really interesting mix of contenders and we've got some fantastic presenters all desperate for their Great Briton to win so we're in for a really exciting competition. "I hope people all around the country will be moved by the passion in their argument and will join in the debate and get voting." |

Is it a bird, is it a plane?
Certain sections of technology lend themselves to the concept of convergence, where the mad scientists in the world's biggest tech manufacturer mix together the coolest gadgets to make even cooler gadgets — think smartphones. But what would happen if you mixed together three seemingly boring gadgets, say an alarm clock, an iPod dock and a digital photo frame? Cue the Sony Dream Machine (and Corey Haim is nowhere in sight).
The result is surprisingly sexy, or at least as sexy as an alarm clock ought to be. The centrepiece of the Dream Machine is a 7-inch colour LCD display with a pretty standard WVGA. When viewing videos or photo slideshows the results are colourful and reasonably sharp, and seeing as it's to live on your bedside table it has four brightness settings to dim the screen when its time to sleep.
Rock around the clock, dock
The Dream Machine can play media from four main sources: from its 1GB of internal memory, a USB connection to a PC or portable storage, an SD or M2 memory card, or from the media stored on your Apple iPhone or iPod, though unfortunately there is no 3.5mm socket for connecting any other brand of MP3 player (even a Sony). Apple products connect via a slide-out dock located on the right-hand side of the Dream Machine, and there are two plastic cradles to secure your iPhone in the dock correctly.
While having an iPod dock is a huge bonus for a product of this kind it does come with the most inconsistencies. Firstly, you can't start video or image files using the Dream Machine's control panel, instead you have to set the player into iPod video mode then start playback from the handset itself. You can control the iPod player's music controls using the buttons on the dock and can set music on your iPod as your alarm clock music. You also can't transfer files from the iPhone/iPod to the internal memory, though considering how tightly Apple control these aspects of its products we really shouldn't be too surprised.

Baby It's Cold Outside Blaire's questing fingers hovered an inch below the bag of marshmallows she was trying to reach. She was on her tip-toes, one hand holding onto the shelf below the marshmallows and the other stretched out above her. She blew her bangs out of her face irritably and considered how she was going to reach the sweets without involving Prosper, who, she was sure, would tease her endlessly if she asked for his help. Cursing him and his infernal height, she braced one foot on the trash can underneath the shelves and began to pull herself up. Grabbing the marshmallows triumphantly in one hand, she gave a yelp of surprise when two arms twined around her waist, steadying her. Turning around and seeing a grin on Prosper's face, she shot a glare at him, hoping it would keep the teasing at bay."What, no thank you?" Prosper said, mock surprise in his voice. "My hero," She said absentmindedly, throwing him a grin to take away some of the bite from the
PaybackBlaire woke with a start, very alert and, for some reason, very cold. Blaire rubbed her eyes wearily and looked around the dark room, realizing after a moment that she must have forgotten to leave Prosper's apartment after he had made her come over to '"admire" his new futon. Honestly, in her opinion, it was more a ragged piece of junk than a futon, but she had to admit that it had been surprisingly comfy. Hence, the reason she had fallen asleep at Prosper's apartment.Although, she reasoned, it would be difficult not to fall asleep while enduring a every-movie-in-my-apartment marathon that Prosper had suggested- so that they could fully appreciate the futon, apparently. Glancing around her once more, she noticed why she was so cold, and, eyes narrowing dangerously, focused on the sleepily sprawled out man by her side.Normally she didn't mind falling asleep with Prosper- despite being leaner than most, he was surprisingly easy to use as a pillow- but there was one thing about him that
TwoProsper grumpily banged his feet against the solid wood of the examination table he was sitting atop. He knew his mother was ignoring him, and, even worse, not even bothering to hide it, sitting across the room reading one of the many magazines that where piled on the small tables. He hated going to the doctor. Dr. Knowles always ruffled his hair too hard and talked too loud. If he told Prosper that he had to get a shot he was going to run for it. Stubbornly continuing to glare at his oblivious mother, he clenched his fingers around the edges of the table and waited for the stupid doctor to come in.However, when the door finally did open, instead of seeing the large, obnoxious, slightly balding old man that he had come to expect, he was faced with- unexpectedly- the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, with long brown hair and a pretty face."Hey there, Prosper," she said with a smile that lit up her face, "I'm Jane. Dr. Knowles is on vacation right now, so I'm going to be helping y
OneFour-year-old Prosper looked wide-eyed around the waiting room, nervous in spite of himself. His father had urged him to go play with the various toys scattered around the floor in the children's section, but he had refused to let go of his father's hand long enough to do so. Despite his father's assurances, Prosper's eyes were tearing up, and when his father tried baiting him into a game with the large lego blocks, he scooted down onto the floor and began halfheartedly putting together an shapeless lump of legos. After a few minutes of this, though, he toddled back to his father and tugged on his shirt. Without pausing, his father reached down and scooped Prosper up, knowing from previous experiences what Prosper had wanted."Don't be so scared, Pros," his father said, chuckling softly at Prosper's tight clutch on his shirt, "we're just here to pick up Mummy and your new baby sister, there's nothing to cry about."He reached up and wiped away a couple of tears that had slid down Prosp
Sleds, Snow, and Hot ChocolateProsper would have burst into laughter at the picture before him had he not been absolutely positive that said action would earn him a snowball to the face. Blaire was sitting on bright yellow sled , bundled up in at least fifty layers, wearing the expression of a five year old recently given an ice cream cone. The sled, in turn, was poised at the top of a large, rather daunting looking hill, and Blaire was attempting to convince him to go sledding with her."Pleeeeease!" She continued, adopting a pout onto her formerly excited face."I'm wearing sweatpants," He pointed out, "Cloth sweatpants.""Oh, suck it up, you baby," Blaire countered, which impressed Prosper quite a bit, since it usually took a lot more for her to start insulting him."What, and walk two miles home in soaking wet britches?" He questioned, "I'll pass on that.""Fine." She said, sulking, "then at least help me up." She held out a hand to him, which Prosper was a little reluctant to take, since Blaire relenting in so
Love Me DoProsper was feeling mildly awkward. He knew that it was expected, routine even, to meet his girlfriend's parents and family, but it didn't make the situation any less nerve-wracking. He had endured the interrogation from Blaire's father about his life/plans/job/future, her brothers attempting to intimidate him, and her little sister giggling over his accent, and was now convinced that he never wanted to go through anything of the sort again. Blaire and Prosper were now sitting cross-legged on her old bed with the door wide open, because, as Blaire had put it, both of them behind closed doors would make her father, Tim, "uncomfortable". Prosper was quite sure that he didn't want to make her dad, a large, well-muscled fire-fighter, any form of nervous at all. Especially since her father and brothers seemed to think he needed to be glared at routinely- despite the inevitable warning he had received from them about being with Blaire."I know what we can do tonight," Blaire said
FourThe noise in the airport should have been unbearable, but to Prosper it was muted, shoved to the background while he tried in vain to think of something to say. Other passengers were yelling and running past them, but Prosper felt as if the silence stretching between him and Fae was unbearable. She managed a smile for him, but it was strained, and Prosper knew that there was no real happiness behind it."This is for the best," she murmured, gently grasping his hands in hers, "but, I'm glad, at least... that we'll get this. Closure. I would never want to end what we've had over the phone, or... well, you know what I mean.""I..." Prosper couldn't finish the sentence, and perhaps for the first time in his life, he could think of absolutely nothing to say. He didn't usually struggle for a way to put his thoughts into words, so for that usual talent to depart him at a time like this was terrifying. Fear rushed over him, and he wondered, not for the first time, if he was making the b

Prices at gas pump ticking up ahead of Memorial Day travel
On average, drivers are paying $2.88 a gallon at the gas pump. Gas prices are expected to continue rising because of high oil prices.
Arko Datta/Reuters
New York
It seems like a rite of spring: The price of oil and gasoline rises in the weeks leading up to the Memorial Day weekend.
This spring appears no different. On Thursday, on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the price of oil rose by $1.95 per barrel, ending the day at $85.17. This is close to the highest level in at least a year.
According to AAA, gas prices, which have been inching up in recent weeks, hit $2.877 a gallon on Thursday. That price is up 82 cents a gallon from a year ago and is 8 cents higher than a month ago.
A variety of factors appeared to be driving the higher prices, energy analysts said. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve, in its analysis of the economy, said it saw some modest signs of growth. The Fed opted to keep interest rates at the same low level – close to zero percent.
"If you have the economy getting better and low interest rates, that's a bullish scenario for oil," says Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at PFGBest Research in Chicago. "If the economy is better, demand for oil is better."
On Friday, the government will issue a key report on the economy – a preliminary estimate for gross domestic product in the first quarter.
According to Mr. Flynn, oil markets were somewhat unsettled on Thursday after reports surfaced that last week an Iranian jet had buzzed a US aircraft carrier. However, the Pentagon played down the incident.

September 19-20, 2013 -- Exclusive to WMR: SEC destroyed pre-9/11 stock "put" data Baltimore-based investigative reporter David Callahan has shared with WMR a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) letter, dated December 23, 2009, that states that the commission destroyed all records pertaining to the pre-9/11 "put" options on the shares of United and American Airlines, the two airlines whose planes were hijacked on 9/11, as well as three insurance companies and a securities firm that was a World Trade Center occupant. The letter states: ". . . we have been advised that the potentially responsive records have been destroyed." Prior to the 9/11 attacks, insider trading "put options" were placed on United and American Airlines stocks. The speculative options on United were placed between September 6 and 7, 2001 and on American on September 10 at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. Put options are bets that a stock will fall in value and the owner has the option of selling the stock at a lower rate and sell them at the highest rate, thus earning a quick windfall profit. The put options on the two airlines' stock was reportedly six times higher than normal. Other unusual "put option" activity was registered with three European re-insurance firms, Germany Re, Swiss Re, AXA of France, in addition to World Trade Center occupant Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Specifically sought in Callahan's Freedom of Information Act request to the SEC were files in reference to … [Read more...]
Email before Noon TODAY in Hawaii!! NO GMO's!!!
Aloha Hawaii I am Roseanne Barr and I am here to help wake you up about GMOs and genetic modification in time to help protect Hawaii island on July 2nd! The Hawaii County Council will hear BILL 79 to prohibit GMOs on July 2nd. Please, pay attention, submit written testimony and come testify in person! Tell the Council to say yes to Bill 79 and ban GMOs! Come to the Kona Council Chambers by 9:00 AM in the West Hawaii Civic Center and wear green to show your support for the bill! Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are in our food supply even though they are banned in more than thirty countries due to health and environmental biohazards. The consumption of GMO food has been linked to cancer, reproductive failure, kidney and liver damage in animal studies. With more than 85% of processed food containing engineered GMOs, we are the human lab rats! I like my food to be real, organic, without other species' DNA and toxins engineered into it, thank you very much. Genetic modification involves a group of technologies being used to change the genetic makeup of cells and force different species across natural boundaries in laboratories. Open air GMO crops contaminate the DNA of natural agriculture and already other countries have begun rejecting US imports because of GMO contamination. If we want to preserve the real seeds, pure agriculture and endangered species of Hawaii, we need to stop GMOs. I came here to grow organic macadamia nuts because I love Hawaii and … [Read more...]

Why Barack Obama is the More Effective Evil by Glen Ford
Why Barack Obama is the More Effective Evil Glen Ford at the Left Forum BAR executive editor Glen Ford made the following presentation at the Left Forum, Pace University, New York City, March 17. On the panel were Gloria Mattera, Margaret Kimberley (BAR), Suren Moodliar, John Nichols, and Victor Wallis. The discussion was titled, The 2012 Elections: Lesser Evil or Left Alternative? "He has put both Wall Street and U.S. imperial power on new and more aggressive tracks – just as he hired himself out to do." Power to the people! Let me say from the very beginning that we at Black Agenda Report do not think that Barack Obama is the Lesser Evil. He is the more Effective Evil. He has been more effective in Evil-Doing than Bush in terms of protecting the citadels of corporate power, and advancing the imperial agenda. He has put both Wall Street and U.S. imperial power on new and more aggressive tracks – just as he hired himself out to do. That was always Wall Street's expectation of Obama, and his promise to them. That's why they gave him far more money in 2008 than they gave John McCain. They were buying Obama futures on the electoral political market – and they made out like bandits. They invested in Obama to protect them from harm, as a hedge against the risk of systemic disaster caused by their own predations. And, it was a good bet, a good deal. It paid out in the tens of trillions of dollars. If you believe that what Wall Street does is … [Read more...]
Elderly Facing Poverty Crisis
Martin Feldstein, Top Reagan Adviser: Elderly Facing Poverty Crisis Posted: 10/24/2012 7:37 pm EDT Updated: 10/24/2012 11:38 pm EDT Link to Article in Huffington Post NEW YORK -- Martin Feldstein, a former top economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan, said too many elderly Americans are trapped in poverty. "I think it's really shocking that we spend about $500 billion a year on Social Security, and yet we have many, many old people in poverty," said Feldstein, a Harvard economist, at The Economist's Buttonwood Gathering on Wednesday. "Something's wrong with that system." Feldstein said that the Social Security system especially fails women who aren't in the workforce. He said that young and middle-aged women who lose husbands to death or divorce and don't have enough work experience get left out in the cold. "If they don't have an income history of their own, the Social Security system fails them," he said. Feldstein served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Reagan from 1982 to 1984, when the poverty rate fell. But the poverty rate when Reagan left office was higher than it was when he took office. Feldstein also said the government is failing to encourage Americans to save. "We don't encourage wealth accumulation," Feldstein said. "We don't encourage people to have personal retirement accounts, personal savings accounts that they can use when there are medical emergencies or unemployment emergencies, and I think we ought to … [Read more...]
Nasty and Disgusting
October 24-25, 2012 -- Update 1x. Another institution engulfed in pedophilia scandal First it was the Catholic Church, then Penn State, followed by the Boy Scouts that were swamped in major pedophilia scandals. Now, it is the venerable British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) -- the Beeb -- that finds itself at the center of a major pedophile scandal involving the late children's and teen show star Jimmy Savile. Savile, who entertained children and teens as the host of the BBC teen music program "Top of the Pops" and the children's "make a wish come true" program, "Jim'll Fix It," is believed by police to have sexually abused some 200 male and female underage children and teens. After the BBC's rival, ITV, recently ran an expose on Savile's sexual abuse activities at the BBC, it emerged that last year the BBC spiked a similar documentary that was to run on its Newsnight program due to pressure from senior BBC officials. The interference of senior network officials in spiking stories on pedophilia involving the network or its parent company is nothing new. In 1998, ABC killed a 20/20 story about pedophiles employed by Disney World because of pressure exerted by Michael Eisner, the CEO of Disney Corporation, which owned and continues to own ABC. The U.S. news media has been strangely quiet on the unfolding BBC pedophilia story. However, the connections between the BBC scandal and the U.S. media are only beginning to emerge.

second MDX, 7th Honda vehicle, last one had tranny issues, this one had the tranny noise slightly.
2012 I get a letter saying transmission software upgrade, so I took it in.
Especially in case I had tranny issues in future they would say that I had not done this upgrade they suggested.
The upgrade made the 5th gear come on at 45 MPH instead of the original 40 MPH.
This removed the noise, but, the gas consumption is terrible now as 90% of my city driving is below 45 MPH!
The should fix bad designs, not make us pay for it.
Also, I cannot prove this yet, but another "recall software upgrade" has disabled my Vehicle Stability Assist".
This is NOT how a luxury make should do things!

2005 Acura MDX SUV AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Think b4 you buy your next Acura. My 05 MDX slammed and
locked its brakes while doing 40mph and
almost killed my family. It happened three times in less than a month.
Dealership won't fix the modulator that is most likely the cause because it would
cost them $1600. The seat belt locked on my 9 month old pregnant wife's belly
and cause my other kids head to whip lash. They have had my car for over a week now and waiting on Corporate to take responsibility. It's sad that saving $1600 is more important than the lives of 6 people. Come on Acura/Honda.
Update: After having my $50,000 luxury car for a week, the decided they will only replace a $100 part called a brake switch. But they refused to replace the other problem, $1600 abs modulator. Their diagnostic computer told them both were failing parts. The service manager told me they are not wear and tear parts and should not have gone bad.
So they sent me off with my family hoping they guessed right. So now the car sits on my drive way. I refuse to put my family in danger. Had I been on the freeway or crossing our states snowy mountains, my family might not be here right now. I wouldn't be here to share this with others.
I told the claim manage than my family has bought 3 accords, two civics, Acura RL and the MDX the past 20 years, while spending over $100,000.
Yet, he said that wasn't enough of loyalty.

I bought this from a used Honda dealership-in Marietta, GA, Aug. 2011. Was really excited to own my Acura SUV w/ 3rd row! Honda had a good reputation w/ reliability except for their transmission issue! I didn't realized it until it was too late! I had it checked out by Ed Voyles Acura-Chamblee. They said it was fine & they even did the transmission chip software recall. They found nothing wrong w/ it! They even took it upon themselves to do the FULL 105k service w/ timing belt w/ out getting my approval or trying to figure out what was wrong w/ the transmission. I was really upset! I even rode w/ them to see why it would vibrate at 50-60mph. Of course it wouldn't make that noise.

Its bright and shiny on the outside and completely unreliable on the inside. The transmission failed at 71000 miles - dealer wants $4,000 to repair. Paid $45,592 new for the vehicle and $6465 on repairs since 2005. If we pay for the transmission it will be over $10,000 - more than 22% of the original cost. Bluetooth stopped working at 50,000 miles Engine required $3,278 worth of repairs at 60,000 miles. We use this car as our primary family vehicle - nothing strenuous or abusive. I would never buy a Honda product ever again.

Replacing Cadillac Eldorado and more than happy with the change. The MDX had 82,000 miles when I got it, 97,000 six months later without any trouble, except with an a/c vent cover. Early on I had the opportunity to drive for several hours in a blizzard with complete confidence. I have also had it on unimproved old logging roads with equal confidence. I would not take it where I would take a 4Runner, but I prefer cabin comforts. The cabin is awesome and the toys are awesome. Front seats are 5 star. This is my favorite car ever. I installed after market transmission and power steering filters as a precaution. The tranny's are suspect. I drive in D4 around town and D5 only over 60 mph.

At approximately 30,000 miles, upon acceleration, the transmission would vibrate/grind until 45 mph. I have found this to be a common problem on many Acura forums and there are 11 reports of this exact same problem on the National Highway Transportation and Safety (NHTSA) website. The problem seems to be the transmission torque converter.

Great car. Plenty of room, hard to fit seven passengers and luggage. excellent fuel economy. 15-18 in town, we consistently get 25-26 on the highway. Average tank is always around 21. Super comfortable on the inside. Great in the winter.

Love this vehicle. Have 77,000 miles on it and no problems whatsoever. Love the touchscreen navigation that can be operated on the go. Bluetooth and Address Book are great too. Leather still looks like new and gas mileage has been great. Averaging over 20 mpg in city and highway driving. Have taken on several long road trips and the seats are great! Best I've ever sat in.

2005 Acura MDX SUV Touring AWD 4dr SUV w/Nav and Entertainment System (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Bought MDX because it could be towed behind my RV and provide an upscale trim/features than other towable vehicles. Loved this vehicle. Never had a single problem in over 5 years of driving and towing, just scheduled maintenance. Interior has everything and well designed. I'd definitely buy a new one, but the new ones can't be towed - too bad. I highly recommend this vehicle - great family SUV.

Chihuahuas Lose In Extra Innings
POSTED: Monday, June 9, 2014 - 10:28pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - 2:30pm
El Paso — New Orleans reliever Sam Dyson led off the top of the 11th inning with a line drive hit to left field and later scored the go-ahead run in the Zephyrs 5-3 win over the El Paso Chihuahuas Monday night at Southwest University Park. The Chihuahuas are now 0-3 in extra-inning games this season.
Rocky Gale broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth with a bases loaded, two-out, two-run single. Jake Goebbert's solo home run in the sixth inning gave the Chihuahuas a three-run lead and knocked out a panel on the videoboard in deep right-center field. New Orleans scored once in the seventh to get within two and in the eighth the Zephyrs tied the game on a two-out, two-run home run by Jake Marisnick. The Zephyrs pushed across two runs in the top of the 11th and held the Chihuahuas without a baserunner in the bottom of the 11th to win the game.
Donn Roach pitched 5.2 scoreless innings in his Chihuahuas debut, getting a no-decision. Jeff Francoeur, Gale and Goebbert each had two hits in the loss for the Chihuahuas.

Review: NEIGHBORS
By Witney Seibold on May 9, 2014
Neighbors is a delightfully crass comedy that is – get this – actually about something.
Looking around at our popular culture, one can easily come to the conclusion that my generation (which I think might be Gen-Y, although I'm often lumped in with Generation X) has taken over the world; You can be sure that the Baby Boomers weren't interested in four complete live-action Transformers feature films. As such, we are mired in our own adolescence, trotting out every superhero, cartoon show, and ninja turtle that our little hearts once desired and perhaps still do. Oddly enough, it is only in our crass, R-rated comedies that Gen-Y openly admits to its staunch refusal to grow up.
Look at the works of Judd Apatow, for example. Most of his films are typically about overgrown boys who are staring down the barrel of actual adulthood, finding that they have to start behaving like a grown-up, or be doomed to a life of pathetic pity. Perhaps there is a point in my life, the heroes typically say to themselves, that I need to put down the bong and the beers and actually, y'know, settle down.
Nicholas Stoller's Neighbors is about two groups of people who are facing the extinction of their youthful cool, and trying to come to peace with it through increasingly destructive (and perhaps increasingly cathartic) revenge antics. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a married couple of recent parents in their early 30s who are determined not to let domesticity get in the way of their self-perceived cool. They comment openly that they're not going to be the boring grown-ups, perhaps in a fit of fear; They are the only ones of their peer group to have a kid and a home. They dared to settle down into adulthood, and that seems to secretly terrify them.
And who should move in next door but Zac Efron, frat boy par excellence, whose newly-opened frat house is determined to throw the Bash to End All Bashes. The film is entirely about the couple and the frat boy at odds with each other's living arrangements (please, kids, just keep it down), but eventually the tactics to "get at" the other become increasingly caustic. At first, Efron's character seems like the typically gorgeous, cocksure young buck who never experiences a hangover, but as Neighbors progresses, we begin to see that he may not have much of a future after college. Both he and his married neighbors are now facing the very real possibility of leaving their party life behind.
And all of this is told in a mercifully funny, quick-witted comedy of deft humor, golden timing, and interesting characters. Rogen improvises with the best of them, and Efron – often pegged a pretty boy, but truly a talented young actor – finally seems comfortable with this sort of material (he was decidedly not at his best in the pretty awful That Awkward Moment from earlier this year), constantly proving himself to be adept at comedy. Rose Byrne nearly steals the show as the quietly panicking mom who is allowed to be a complete character and not just a nagging shrew.
So by the time cop cars are exploding, and Efron and Rogen are fencing with dildos, everything has built to a meaningful and hilarious head of steam, and it's hard not to breathe a big sigh of relief and settle back into the warm fact that you're enjoying yourself. I have seen many comedies recently, few of which are actually funny. Neighbors is funny, dammit. And it has something to say as well. Bully on it.

gen y is bieber and drake and such, the people who made this and tranformers, tmnt etc. are gen x
Gen Y is people born between 1982 and 2004 — so both of those examples are Millennial technically.
Although Bieber is really on the late end of that generation… he came on the scene in 2007, so some of the younger GenYs would have grown up with him, but some of the older ones are completely transformers and tmnt. It's a broad spectrum–really boiling down to 80's and 90's babies.
I think that's part of the poignancy of this movie too–technically both sides of that fence are GenY–just different ends of the timeline.
This was the role Zac Efron was born to play. I am getting pretty bored of Seth Rogan's one character that he plays in every movie, but it still worked here, but really the best part was Efron – he was just the right mix of ridiculous, but they still portrayed him as a human in a bro-kinda way (and no, I'm not a lovestruck High School Musical fan).
I love the way Efron's character throws himself into everything that frat does as a 'true believer' in contrast to the younger Franco's character who kind of gets that it's all BS. That scene where they're talking about past frat legends who invented beer pong was so realistic, I can think of dozens of characters from college that probably did that same speech (also props for going old school with David Bowie's "Queen Bitch" for that scene.)The party scenes were all great, my personal favorite was the pool party they throw after their dildo fundraiser, with "All Night" by Icona Pop blasting and Zac Efron's smug party face as he looks at Rogan and Byrne's characters…you can practically hear her saying "keep it down!" in your own head haha.

Program Helps Cancer Patients Look Good...Feel Better
POSTED: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - 6:30am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 2:25pm
Cancer treatment can be tough for anyone, but for many women, one of the hardest things to deal with is losing their hair. That is why the American Cancer Society created the Look Good...Feel Better program. The program allows women to go through individual or group sessions, where they are given a bag full of donated make up and are shown ways to restore their appearance.
The Look Good...Feel Better program is free.
For more information, call the local American Cancer Society at (915) 544-4427.

Ellis Island, New York City
New York City , New York
Tel: 212 363 3200
Concierge.com's insider take:
Roughly 12 million immigrants passed through this island as they entered America from the late 1800s through the mid-1950s, sometimes at the rate of thousands a day. Their reception was not always welcoming, and their stories of hope and struggle are re-created today in the restored hall and museum. Walking through the Baggage Room and up to the Registry Room, visitors experience the path just as the immigrants did, tracing their fates through photographs, artifacts, and oral histories. Outside, the American Immigrant Wall of Honor is a testament to about 600,000 of those new Americans. Anyone who wants to research his or her ancestors can start a search at the American Family Immigration History Center, or on the island's website. This is history in a very palatable medium—trust us, you'll like it. To get there, board the Circle Line-Statue of Liberty ferry from Battery Park (at the southern tip of Manhattan). Tickets can be purchased at Statue Cruises. It's recommended that you arrive at the ferry two hours before your tour time, as boarding is on a first-come, first-serve basis—there are airport-style security measures—and the lines can get very long, especially during the summer.

Single and multiplayer modes. The first million people who bought VCRs bought them before there were any movies available to watch on them.
They just wanted to "time shift" TV shows – what we use DVRs for today. Once there were millions of VCR owners it became worthwhile for Hollywood to start selling and renting movies to watch on them. Eventually watching rented movies became the dominant use of VCRs, and time shifting a relatively niche use. Thus, a product that eventually had very strong network effects* got its initial traction from a "standalone use" – where no other VCR owners or complementary products needed to exist.
Need Game Mechanics? I'm a fairly competitive person.
I like to win. And thanks to many hours spent in front of the screen, I find myself pretty motivated when I see an opportunity to "level up. " But that being said, I still question the rush lately to add "game mechanics" to every new product and experience. As we've written before, the arguments for doing so are compelling. CityVille Explained. [In the first of a two-part series, design veteran Tadhg Kelly draws from his What Games Are blog to explain the rise to power of Zynga's massively successful social game CityVille.
(UPDATE: Part 2 now posted.)] Check out the latest Appdata graph for Zynga's Cityville - that's right, it now has nearly 70 million monthly active users, and the Facebook game only launched in early December. Smart Gamification. The perfect viral social app. The Presentation That Inspired Google+ Quarterly Earnings for Gaming Companies. We've created a little cheat sheet for industry observers summarizing smartphone earnings and growth for the second quarter (or first quarter, depending on the company's fiscal calendar).
We also put in privately-held freemium gaming companies for which you can guesstimate earnings based on top-grossing titles. Given how publicly-traded companies are performing with both freemium and paid app monetization on a quarterly basis, we're looking at a few privately-held companies that will probably comfortably cross $50 million in annual revenue this year. Also keep in mind that everyone's market capitalization is down significantly because of the global stock market rout.
