The money was printed by fed - helped buy toxic mortgages - and prevent deflation. So far looks that those two goals have been met by the fed. So far we're on par with Philips curve (high unemp%, low inflation) - should that change -Fed will tighten money supply.
The problem is how to create more necessary jobs for the economy while living in a competitive global economy.
Throwing money in the air by going for the second stimulus will only delay the actual problem that USA faces.
What is the Solution? Invest in R & D, Innovate, Educate. Create policies that spur these innovations. Invest in IT, Bio-tech, Nano-technology, Robotics, Communications...
Ms. Pelosi it going to need to eat her Wheaties to get a value added tax through.
It's a shame that The Economist has forgotten its Classical roots, and can no longer publish the truth in regards to government spending. Although I am no Communist, I agree that what is occurring at this point is the creation of a new bubble in an attempt to forestall the inevitable. But, that is not Capitalism. That is mercantilism.
Why economic stimuli don't work: http://www.economicthought.net/2009/10/why-economic-stimuli-don%E2%80%99...
First, the rant below about how the US government needs to curb the H1 visa program is a bunch of hot air. The typcial H1 visa holder is either management level at a large international firm or is an entrepenuer. These entrepenuers and managers hire people. I can say first hand that the CEO of my company holds an H1 visa and employs around 100 Americans.
Second, the stimulus should have been distributed via a tax cut this way the entire stimulus would already be flowing through the economy. Second, since the taxpayers are going to have to pay back the money borrowed to finance the stimulus it only makes sense that the proceeds of said borrowing go straight to the taxpayer.
Either way the US government is going to have to either raise taxes or cut spending and the smart money says the American taxpayers have no more appetite for increased tax rate.
I´d like that there were 1.4 billion, instead of trillion!.
Farewell to all who write in. This will be my last post, as i can't afford the subscription fee now required from the 13th?
For most of my concious life i have remained a revolutionary, a dialectical materialist, and subsequently an irreconcileable athiest. My faith in the communistic future of mankind is no less ardent, indeed, it is firmer now than in the days of my youth-lev. d. Trotsky.
The fundamental problem of international capitalism,is that of an enormous OVERPRODUCTION of commodities, goods and services. The crisis is being compounded by heavy industry leaving the west to go to the east, allbeit "outsourcing" for many companies who are taking advantage of cheap labour.
This problem will not somehow disappear. By either destroying the productive forces in a new war, or blowing up an even bigger speculative bubble to delay the slump is ALL THAT CAPITALISM HAS LEFT. As no world war is possible (without destroying the planet) then a new, even bigger bubble will be blown up unless the workers rise up and overthrow capitalism.
The relationship between wages, labour and capital is something that has never been understood by the executive committee of the bourgeoisie, as the british chancellor Gordon Brown made abundantly clear to the commons: "we shall not go back to boom and slump", no fewer than 102 times to parliament! and even on the very eve of the crash!!!
The working peoples of all lands are the only force to liberate humanity from the stranglehold and nightmare of the crises of capitalism, its bloody wars for oil and strategic military possitioning. (preparing for the very real possibility of first a trade war, then a military conflict with China).
Workers! prepare yourself politically for the gigantic historical task that is before you. Read Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. Workers of America! form a LABOUR PARTY through your trades unions.
Only a worldwide democratic socialist federation of labour can liberate mankind from the horrors of capitalism.
Working men and women of all lands, unite!
@LEB3 - what goes around, comes around. Wasn't US of A the strongest advocate of free market economy and shoving them down every other nation's throat; so that more American goods and services could be bought. Outsourcing is an imperative of the same free market economy.
What has really changed in terms of fundamentals?
Tons of dollars have been printed, bureaucracies have gotten a few new toys (say GM) and the stock markets are (again) running like beheaded chickens, with way too much money in the wheels for their own good.
If a general melt-down has been averted and not merely postponed, it is urgent to stop the stimuli before the economies become addicted and we get ourselves into a new and even more perverse bubble... that could prove itself even more difficult to handle.
The ever present reference to Japan reminds me of the French generals in the period between WW I and WWII, with thir Maginot line, as always planning to win the last war instead of the war to come.
"There's only two ways to fix the present system; either regulate the shadow banking system and every financial institution that trades in securitized assets, or ban securitization altogether and return to the traditional model of banking. Regrettably, the Fed is pursuing a third option, which is to pour more money down a rathole trying to rebuild a system that just blew up. It's madness" [Whitney].
Empire: through a glass, darkly
Government unemployment figures are every bit as accurate as their inflation figures. With the media supporting them, the strategy seems to be to go with the big lie theory that the recession is over and all is well. Would someone look up what comes after trillion.
This new method of managing (governing) the economy is similar to owning a Ford and reinstalling a Chevy engine; the combination can work but only a few people will have that expertise and skill level to understand the differences. The issue I am making isn't better to have the Ford engine repaired by Ford instead of complicating the issue?
The present "recovery" is fake - it is a vast credit money bubble generated by the Federal Reserve system (created in response to the collapse of the last credit money bubble they created). But this credit money bubble is more blatent than any other in history - vast corporations (such as General Electric)are having their debt bought up by the Fed (the head of G.E. has actually been appointed to the New York Fed). The government itself is also having its bills bought up by the Fed (after a day waiting period - in order to decieve people) with money the Fed creates from NOTHING. It is corruption on an unprecedented scale.
"The Economist is not interested in your moralism Mr Marks - only with economics".
But you will find that imorality is also bad economics - and the events will be so terrible that even you will have to accept that they are strong "empirical" support for the logical point that lastly prosperity can not be built on nothing (i.e. on credit money bubbles - on the smoke and mirrors of the "financial system").
Sense Seeker, VAT will actually help. It is the only reasonable way to tax imports. The savings can be passed to the US manufacturers, and they can pass them on to consumers in price cuts. US needs a more competitive manufacturing.
I have hard times imagining how lowering taxes would help here. The thing that should be done is tax redistribution: income taxes, especially in the higher brackets, would have to rise, while a tax regime for small businesses and capital intensive industries must become better. Healthcare reform would help too.
In particular, I think that US should try to do with biotechnology what it did with semiconductors: plow cash into the industry and try to create a breakthrough and jobs (by "jobs" we mean "train skilled people"). Eventually, the industry will pick up. Many seem to forget that the boom of the 80es owed more to the "big government" semiconductor/computer investments of the 50es than with lowering the taxes.
I think getting rid of illegal immigration actually can help with unemployment situation for the unskilled people, and it is due to be done long ago.
The W cycle is exactly what Professor Roubini has described since months - will happen. One of the reasons to bust the regulation of Financial Market which is one of the main cause of this crisis.
The Democrats are talking of VAT, regressive as it is? Amazing. We recently saw that the richest are getting an ever bigger slice of the pie without the addition of VAT. Is this the way working Americans are served the bill for saving Wall Street?
I strongly believe that if the US are to get going again, the income of the working class must improve. They are likely to spend additional income on education and health care, which improve their productivity. The rich, in contrast, are likely to spend any extra money they get on unproductive items like yachts, palaces and jewellery.
Regrettably, American politics seems to too corrupt to turn the tide of concentrating wealth. Wealth buys elections, and if not that, lobbyists and promises of strategic investments in politicians' home States or election donations will swing opinions in Washington. Or else lies and deceit, as in the health care debate. Not even Obama, for all his electoral success, seems able to cut through the vested interests.
You'd hope that the Democrats would work in the interests of the 90% of Americans who barely profited from the economic growth prior to 2007. But they are toying with the idea of adding a regressive tax. Great.
One has to remember that the great over-leveraging of the last 60 years encouraged and mandated by politicians and their lackey regulators can not be cured by the same evil politicians incurring more debt (private or government). Obama and the Democratic Congress have severely damaged the economy with their bailouts of unions (autos); bankers (AIG, Solomon, Goldman Sacks, etc.). The worst is yet to come. The artifical stimulous of government "programs" encouraging consumption merely transfer sales forward. The economy of over-consumption is over. The new economy is saving for retirement, paying off debt, trying to survive the economic holocaust to come. The "Great Recession" will be prolonged and deepened by Obama's wasting more trillions on the "anthropogenic CO2 causes global warming" fraudulent theory. This will result in it becoming the "Greatest Depression" which will outlast the 24 year monster from 1872 t0 1896.
What we are living is the wilful destruction of the greatest economy and democracy in the world. It will have horrendous results for all mankind. And they say there is intelligent life on Earth! How sad.
Most probably we are heading for a double-dip Great Recession. As recent figures published a few days ago for September indicated and your article confirms, this is already the worst slump since the Great Depression in terms of unemployment.
More worrying indeed, is the fact that auto sales are again collapsing after the end of rebates took place last August, simply indicating that consumers are not making themselves available to help the economy recuperate. On top of that, Christmas sales forecasts are indicating negative growth again this year after the worst season on record in 2008.
To complicate matters even more, Nancy Pelosi -the US House Speaker- in talking about having on the table the possibility of raising taxes...in the middle of this weakening Great Recession?; this is economics 101!
Not surprisingly, other countries -like Spain, who also think politics are more important than economics under current circumstances- apparently desparate of their growing fiscal deficits are thinking of raising taxes as well. This tax increases are certain to initiate the sencond dip that we all wanted to avoid in the first place.
Please read the following blog if you are interested in the Spanish case:
$1.4 trillion, not billion.
Even The Economist is staggered by the deficit.
Raising taxes is a disincentive to innovation and production. Increased deficit spending is a disincentive to investment in U.S. dollars. If this administration won't encourage small businesses to make a profit and hire workers, there are other countries to which this capital will flow.

If Rihanna is the person you turn to for some psychoanalysis, I think it's time for a wake-up call. Love me some RiRi but I can't think of any topic I'd seriously take advice about. Perhaps boxing lessons ;) I kid (obviously).
Even without a music video, Eminem's latest collaboration with the Bajan beauty sits atop Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Personally, it's not my favorite, but clearly I'm in the minority. "The Monster" recently gave Rihanna her 13th chart-topper (my least favorite by far), tying her with Michael Jackson. The single also earned Slim Shady a Billboard record of his own. When it entered the charts, the Detroit rapper became the first artist since The Beatles to have four simultaneous songs in the Top 20.
In the Rich Lee-directed clip, Mr. Eight Mile plays a mental patient being observed by Rihanna. As he sits back wearing a straight jacket, flashbacks of career highlights and lowlights play out on a television. One of those snippets is his Grammy performance with Elton John. Is this his subtle way of apologizing for some hateful speech in "Rap God?" Watch the dark and moody clip below and decide for yourself.
The penultimate episode of The Voice Season 5 is here. The Final 3 get three chances to show America why they deserve this season's title. Each reprise their audition song, perform a new solo and duet with their mentor. Speaking of mentors, for the first time since Season 1, someone other than Blake Shelton will earn bragging rights. #itsabouttime
Will it be former backup singer Tessanne Chin? She's certainly been the most consistent. How about Will 'the little engine that could' Champlin? It's the first time a contestant who's benefited from the judges save has made it to the finals. Not only once in his case but twice. Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine saved him during the battle and knockout rounds respectively. Let's not forget the teenage ingenue, Jacquie Lee. Whomever wins, they deserve it. Each have had a defining star-making performance throughout their run.
Be sure to tune in Tuesday night for the season finale when the winner will be crowned. It promises to be an exciting show with performances by this season's singers along with Lady Gaga, R. Kelly, Celine Dion, Ne-Yo, OneRepublic, and Paramore all scheduled to perform. Without further ado. Let's get to the performances.
After checking out this video from HBO, I realize I watch a lot of the network's programming. From Girls, True Blood, The Newsroom, Behind the Candelabra and Game of Thrones, clearly I'm a fan. I should really consider purchasing some stock.
The network released a video highlighting some of their best programming from the past year. It also gives a preview of what's to come in 2014. Included in that bunch is the highly-anticipated new series Looking.
In addition, we also have footage from Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Larry Kramer's Tony award-winning 1985 play The Normal Heart. It follows a group of gay men in New York in the 80s during the HIV/AIDS epidemic spread. It boasts a star-studded cast including Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Mark Ruffalo and Taylor Kitsch. Not sure how I feel about Taylor's haircut and color, but I digress. The latter two are pictured in the photo above. The Normal Heart is scheduled to air in Spring 2014. Check out the video below.
"It's a movie about AIDS, but it's also really a civil rights movie," says Ryan Murphy, who worked with Kramer on the script for three years. "I think it's more timely than ever before. It's really about the quest to be seen, not as a gay person or a straight person but just a person…. It's an activist movie that also has a really great love story in it." Adds the director, "Of everything I've done in my career, I think it is the biggest labor of love."
Even though Dylan Sprouse is 21-years-old and legal in every way, there's something just a little wrong with this. Perhaps it's due to the fact I used to work for an online kids/teen magazine and to me, the Sprouse twins will always be those adorable kids from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. While Dylan maintains his "leaked" nude photo isn't a publicity stunt, it just feels like he's the latest former Disney child star trying to shed his former wholesome image.
"Whoops, guess I'm not 14 and fat anymore … I messed up… but I'd be a fool not to own up to it. Got to move past it I suppose," he tweeted. Love the fact he added "n00d pic dealer" on his Twitter bio. LOL. His twin brother also has a sense of humor. Cole wrote, "Cold in that bathroom, huh?," to which Dylan responded, "Love you too."
"The real problem here was not me sending my pictures to someone, but rather, sending them to the WRONG someone. The real travesty is a misplaced trust, and while I am certainly to blame for it, it is a shame that my private life was somehow forcibly dragged into the public's perception of me," writes Sprouse on his Tumblr.
He goes on to talk about his new-found notoriety and even includes a Beyonce reference in his lengthy explanation about his leaked photo. Currently, Dylan isn't in the business, but rather a student at NYU and works waiting tables on the side. Check out the full post below, along with the PG shirtless selfie pic.
With the holidays in full swing, there's plenty of opportunities to make fools of ourselves. Whether it's drinking too much at your holiday party or spending time with your in-laws, that inevitable awkward moment is just around the corner. Zac Efron, along with his best bros Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, share their insightful tips to avoid such pitfalls during this festive season. Check them all out below. That Awkward Moment hits theaters on January 31, 2014.
"Blurred Lines" was such a huge hit, Robin Thicke will most likely never match its success. At least on this album he won't. The follow-up, "Give It 2 U" featuring Kendrick Lamar, was actually pretty good but didn't even crack the Top 20 of Billboard's Hot 100. Hit latest will probably suffer a similar fate, if not worse. Thicke is the victim of his own success.
"Feel Good" finds Robin joined by a bevy of women once again. However this time they're fully-clothed, albeit dressed in Las Vegas-looking attire, but at least not bouncing around with their titties out. Progress I guess ;) While a decent album filler, I'm surprised he chose the will.i.am-penned track to release next. With a North American tour in February, he'll need another radio hit to support it. Sadly, "Feel Good" just isn't it IMHO. There are far more superior tracks on the LP. Check out the video below.
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as high school students was a huge stretch. Managing to suspend disbelief was definitely required to watch 21 Jump Street. At least for the sequel, passing off as undercover college kids is a tad more believable. With that being said, they're still as "old as sh*t," as astutely pointed out by another student.
After successfully navigating the tricky world of high school politics, Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) now face the pressures of collegiate life including rushing for fraternities and co-ed bathrooms, as they attempt to bring down another drug ring.
With its predecessor being a surprise hit, generating over $200 million worldwide, naturally Sony Pictures fast-tracked the sequel. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller return to direct 22 Jump Street, which is set for a June 13 release. Ice Cube also returns as Captain Dickson, the head of the Jump Street program. Nick Offerman, Rob Riggle and Dave Franco are just a few rumored to make a cameo in the film. Check out the red band trailer below.
Bow down bitches!!! Beyonce is the undisputed queen of music right now. With no advanced album promotion, no physical copies to purchase and a full week of sales to tabulate, Beyonce still sold an insane amount of her surprise visual album, breaking iTunes sales records along the way. In just the first three hours of release, the 32-year-old sold 80,000 copies. That's almost what Britney sold in an entire week for Britney Jean and that came with a huge marketing push.
With Billboard's weekly reporting period over, the numbers are in. B broke the US first-week sales record by selling 617,213 downloads. It's worldwide haul was an insane 828,773. The total was no doubt buoyed by the fact singles weren't available to download. It was all or nothing to enjoy the Beyonce experience. Apple reports that her self-titled album hit No. 1 in 104 countries, including the US. Can you imagine what she could've achieved if she had an entire week? Who rule the world? Not just girls, but Beyonce.

8 ounces
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup
butter or margarine
3/4 cup
KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
4/25/06---I have been eating this for lunch a couple of times a week all my life! I use egg noodles, fresh parmesan, garlic, ground black pepper, butter, crushed red pepper flakes, parsley flakes & a bit of seasoning salt. Sometimes I throw in some bacon bits. I could literally live off of this stuff. Next time I will take Taylor's suggestion & use the enhanced pasta recipe to cook my egg noodles. UPDATE--5/30/06 I was feeling adventurous today & tried the enhanced pasta recipe using chicken cubes instead of beef, & using spaghetti instead of my usual egg noodles. Then I topped it w/ some browned butter, fresh chopped basil, fresh parmesan cheese (I also tried some w/ feta but my heart will always belong to parmesan LOL) & then I it hit w/ a couple of sprinklings of a quality balsamic vinegar...DELISH!
I make this for my son (who WAS the pickiest 4 year old..but he's getting better) and he thought it was just OK. I usually use egg noodles because they are relatively healthier, but it doesn't help the taste. He's working his way up to spaghetti and he just graduated from this dish.

This was outstanding. I used half parmesan cheese and half asiago and tossed in chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. It was delicious. My husband and I ate every bite of it and I NEVER have seconds. Very easy and yummy.
I am VERY proud of my boyfriend!! Not wanting to spend any time in the kitchen during lunch (just too darn nice outside) I printed off this recipe and instructed my roommate and boyfriend to take care of lunch while I took my daughter on a walk. However, I left tips for them, including to grill a couple chix breasts and steam some broccoli and carrots. I'm not sure if they added anything else but the result was pretty good...esspecially since my boyfriend is cooking inept! Granted, I have been making this recipe since grade school but I was proud of my boys! The grilled chicken, broccoli and carrots made this better and with a side of ham sandwiches and lemonade, we enjoyed eating this lunch outside on our patio! This recipe proves that men can master the basics!! Thanks Kraft!
For using just a couple very basic ingredients, this was SUCH a good side dish! I'm sure it would go with just about everything too. I used rigatoni, cuz it's all I had, and it worked just fine. I will deffinetly be making this one again and again! My boyfriend LOVED it.
This is an easy recipe that anyone can do. I also prefer the egg noodles and sometimes use butter instead of olive oil. Turns out delicious every time...you can't go wrong. Thanks Kraft.
First, I gotta tell ya that my 12 year old daughter eats this EVERY day after school, not only with spaghetti noodles, but any that are on hand. Most of the time she subs olive oil for the butter as well. It's a no brainer. Anyway, I made this tonight (with the hopes of having a nice sauce to go with it, but when that fell through, there was the ol' stand by). I used rotini, added steamed broccoli & julienned carrots and subbed olive oil for the butter. It worked great with chicken. Thanks K-R-A-F-T
This has always been my favorite way to eat spaghetti. I feed it to my daughter now when I don't feel like or have time to make a red sauce. It is my we are running late, I forgot to take meat out of the freezer, I don't feel like cooking, and it is already 6 o'clock meal. Add some veggies, fruit, and bread and I have a complete meal. I prefer it with fresh grated parmesan, but the stuff out of the can will work too if in a pinch. I know it probably shouldn't qualify as a meal by itself, but I am a firm believe my daughter won't suffer any great losses from eating one incomplete meal. It serves its purpose.

Compare prices
Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. For the cake, finely grate the zest from the orange and squeeze 3 tbsp of juice. Pour the juice over the raisins in a bowl, stir in zest, then leave to soak while you make the cake. Lightly oil and line the base of a deep 20cm square cake tin. Mix the flours with 1 tsp baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon.
- Separate one of the eggs. Put the white in a small bowl and the yolk in a large one. Break the remaining whole egg in with the yolk, then tip in the sugar. Whisk together for 1-2 mins until thick and foamy. Slowly pour in the oil and continue to whisk on a low speed until well mixed. Tip in the flour mix, half at a time, and gently stir it into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula or big spoon. The mix will be quite stiff. Put the extra pinch of baking powder in with the egg white and whisk to soft peaks.
- Fold the carrot, raisins (and any liquid) into the flour mixture. Gently fold in the whisked egg white, then pour into the tin. Jiggle the tin to level the mixture. Bake for 1 hr until risen and firm or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin 5 mins, turn out onto a wire rack, peel off the paper, then leave until cold.
- To make the frosting, stir the soft cheese, Quark, icing sugar and orange zest together - don't overbeat. Stir in the lemon juice. Swirl the frosting over the cake and cut into 16 square. This cake is even better if left well wrapped for a day or two before icing and eating. Will keep up to 5 days uniced in an airtight tin, or in the fridge if iced.

Comments, questions and tips
Never made carrot cake before and must admit it was a bit of a faff.
Used ordinary plain flour and vegetable oil as it was all I had. Mixture was very solid until I added the eggs, raisins etc but it came out beautifully, very moist.
Did not add topping and ate it as it was, may try adding some mixed spice next time.
Will definietly make again.
Not tried this yet but to answer the Quark question, it is a very low fat alternative to soft cheese, I replace with it all time and honestly no one can tell, it is slightly less creamy than soft cheese like Primula but loads less fat and calories.
It may help to google unfamiliar terms.
Rapeseed oil is dead common in UK supermarkets it is the veg oil I prefer as again lighter in fat and calories, I think. Baking is all about experimenting so go with your usual veg oil and see what you think.
Happy Baking!!
This is the best cake recipe ever. For once, I was organised and soaked the raisins (actually, they were sultanas - so I wasn't 100% organised) overnight. All the liquid had gone, so I added the quantity all over again when I began to make the cake. It was fantastic!!!! And the frosting is the best I've ever tasted. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
Absolutely delicious cake - one of my regulars and everyone always loves it, light and tasty (good to know it's light and healthy too!) A few changes though - I don't separate the eggs (too fiddly!) but instead beat whole egg with the sugar in one go, it still works as well. Use sultanas instead of raisins (sweeter) and sunflower oil instead of rapeseed. I also don't make the frosting, no-one misses it and the cake disappears in no time! :-)
Although this was a bit fiddly, I was really glad I'd made it. It's delicious, light and moist, and the icing is just lovely. Make sure you have all the ingredients prepared in advance and lined up, waiting to be added to the mixture. I didn't change a thing in the recipe, and it worked so well. Perhaps I'll add a few chopped walnuts next time. But it's great as it is.

The British destroyer HMS Defender (left) alongside the Australian destroyer HMAS Waterhen, after the latter had been attacked and crippled by German dive bombers off the port of Salum in Egypt. The Waterhen had been carrying reinforcements to the besieged garrison at Tobruk. It was one of several Australian ships that operated a shuttle service between Tobruk and various ports in Egypt, a service that became known as the Tobruk ferry or Tobruk taxi. HMS Defender is taking on board the crew of the Waterhen and the troops it has been carrying. HMAS Waterhen sank the following day, 1941-06-30.

Yeah, me too. My computer struggles with CS5.
Besides, I think that CS3 or 4 is all I'd need for a desert island.
>> Cookie cut the chaos >>
The thing is compatibility. Lots of artworks done up using a new version of CS couldn't be opened with an older version.

Yoga Online Course work can be primarily practical as well as centers firmly with case studies thus ahead of beginning the particular study course we may ask you to get ready together with eight volunteers, split up into a few sets of a few.
I used to love CS4 because its file extension can be supported by its predecessors, even CS5. But last night I installed CS6 to my PC, all i can say is WOW! Lots of features. It also helped to make my brother's faces bloom. lol.
Anyways, edited pictures from Photoshop can now swarm in likes on Instagram if you buy instagram likes! Watch all of your followers like your photo, even the ones who aren't ff. Tried it ;)
I too like CS4 and still am interested in CS6. However, all I really use it for is to photoshop pics I take with my selfie stick. But I will maybe take a trial and see what it's like :) Thanks for the great article

Dell Streak Gets Android 2.1 Early Preview [Video]
When the Dell Streak was announced, there was plenty of speculation about what Android version it would come with, once it finally made its way to the market. All of that got figured out, and there was talk about upgrades right off the bat. Engadget managed to get their hands on some exclusive time with the latest update to the Dell Streak, Android 2.1, which is set to be released for O2 branded Streaks next month, and thankfully it's bringing more to the table than just some Live Wallpapers and a new unlock screen.

OK, dear readers, we're into June and you know what that means. We're almost at the halfway point of the year and it's time to check in on goals set at the beginning of 2010.
How's it going? What have you been doing this year? Have you deviated from your desired path? Have you even gotten near your desired path?
Let's review a bit. You've either made some progress, in which case this could serve as further impetus, or you've remained stagnant, in which case this could serve as a swift kick in the butt.
As we brought in this year, I wrote a Game Plan column called Looking for Your Life in 2010 and, among other things, challenged you to this exercise: Try taking three quotes you find inspiring and use them to learn more about yourself. Why do they engage you? Can they provide some direction in looking for your life?
These days, with so many of us on Twitter and Facebook, we see quotes almost ad nauseum, yet there are those days when one hits just right and we find it so illuminating. Why? What's it to you? Spend some time in stillness and explore this. One light bulb moment that helps you drill down on what makes you tick could change your life.
Another of my favorite tools to set forth a vision and creatively tap into ideas that are looking for a place to emerge is a vision board. I attended a gathering of friends early in the year and we had a great time assembling our boards. In the June 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, life coach Martha Beck provides some terrific insight on the finer points of this.
"Many people hear the basic instructions … and create virtually identical collages: a wad of cash, a handsome husband, a gorgeous body, a luxury car, a tropical beach," Beck writes. "Snore … This has no juice at all."
What she has so wisely observed over the years – both in her own vision boards and those of clients – is that by paying attention to our deeper selves rather than focus on those material wants, we will "unleash one of the most powerful forces on our planet: human imagination."
That means, as author Julia Cameron advocates in her collage exercise in The Artist's Way, thinking shouldn't be front and center. The imagination is often subtle, indirect, far from concrete, a whole rainbow instead of black and white. When collecting images or phrases for a vision board, don't question why something appeals to you; rip it out and see what emerges in tandem with other things you find.
Beck explains that the reason so many anecdotes about vision board success include forgetting all about what you put on there is because the exercise is supposed to focus your attention just briefly. Then you must go out and live your life, letting your actions run parallel to what you've expressed but in an organic way.
I recently revamped my vision board and marveled when I saw these words – "Taos, life at a higher level." When I cut that out of a magazine in January, I knew I'd be heading to New Mexico for a coaching conference in May. I completely forgot that I had put those words on my board, though. But now, just weeks after returning from that trip, I had to laugh. When I was leaving my hotel to take the two-plus hours drive to Taos, I asked the concierge for any recommendations. She suggested I take the "high road" – which I'd never heard of. Its winding path through hills under a beautiful blue sky proved to be an aesthetic and spiritual highlight of the trip. Boy, did I experience life at a higher level.
My updated board, thanks to Beck's apt reminders, contains more about the messages I want to convey in my life through writing, coaching and social interaction. It's not about manifesting a Tiffany necklace. Still, as I stated in a January Game Plan column called Time to Go Bold, the theme of the board is to remind me to run my decisions through a "bold" meter.
Of course, more conventionally, you can pull out your goals or resolutions and evaluate your progress. Have you done something each week to bring you closer to this one? Have you checked a few off the list? In that case, it might be time to create new ones. Remember that in most cases goals should be inspiring to you, time-bound and measurable. Look at them once each week and create actions around them. The baby steps will turn into enormous strides.
While we're checking in, I can't forget to request that you take a peek at what author Kathy LeMay calls your Generosity Plan. Do you structure your giving? Might you want to consider that, regardless of how much you have allotted for it?
Some thoughts from an earlier Game Plan on Crafting Your Generosity Plan: "The idea is to get confident in your plan and execute it with goodwill and grace. Whether it's buying Girl Scout cookies, reading to the elderly or embarking on a mission in Africa, do it because it speaks to your heart and sense of spirit."
Go on. Get to it. You've got an awful lot of time to make 2010 a meaningful and purposeful year.

YIKES!!!!! 30+ foot boats are expensive!!
This tread started with replacing the engine, now it''s ok?
To understand how you can get screwed, you need to appreciate your lack of knowledge about the matters of which you speak. Having answerted your question, let''s focus on going forward in a positive manner.
If you want to manage the risk of getting screwed, you should get professional advice to ballpark the costs of putting this boat together. Have the boat surveyed, and then have an experienced yard manager quote in detail the cost for a yard to do the work involved. Using his parts costs and a realistic evaluation of what you can do properly yourself, and put in a fudge factor of two for any work you won''t do yourself, then you make some form of informed decision before starting to write checks, so you at least know how many you will be writing.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
PS - if you''re going to sail this boat in the Gulf, why limit it''s sailing performance with a winged keel? I''m not familar with the Gulf, but didn''t think it a Bahams-like area. Did you get the advice of a marine architect on the configuration of this keel so it best maintains the handling and stability of the boat, or are you so-to-speak winging it?

Fog my brugs???
In almost 20 yrs of growing this is the first year I've had spider mites outdoors during the summer....lots (unfortunately) in the winter indoors but never before outside. these brugs are in 10-15 gal containers in my driveway in a 5-1-1 mix and getting @ 2 gallons ea twice a day by a drip system so shouldn't be suffering from being too dry. I'll be mixing up a dose of systemic and can spray then down good with the hose but many have buds so I don't want to knock those off. I have one of those lawn foggers which I seldom use and am thinking of using it on the brugs as the fog should be able to fully penetrate all the foliage. Mites are insects (arachnids?) so I'm hoping the fog and spray will work short term til the systemic 'percolates' through the plant.
Thanks, Will
P.S. I have a couple of 'put together' greenhouses I use to wake up my brugs after dormancy and am thinking how easy fogging to protect the new foliage would be.
I used a can of insecticide years ago that worked like a fog and had wonderful success with killing pests. It also helped clean the greenhouse of them. After I did add some garden spiders to the room to set up housekeeping for when the aphids came to visit.
It isn't so much the internal plant moisture that deters the Spidermite, rather the external humidity. Years when it is very dry I used to set the sprinkler on them for 30 minutes or so each evening and that moisture lasted all night and didn't cause 'moisture' problems but did seem to deter Spidermites.
What systemic are you using for spider mites? This is the worst year I've ever had for spider mites and the first where I've had spider mite problems outside more than the remanents of ones from inside when the plants go out in the spring. I've hit the brugs with Forbid spray twice and an "organic" spray once. And now the mites are back again. I've got buds too so a really strong hose spraying is out.
Of course, this has been a most unusual year in the Washington DC area: the warm, cold, warm winter, scads of triple digit days, drought, then unusually cool summer days, days of rain, the derecho, the earthquake a year ago. It hasn't been global warming here this summer; its been global climate craziness. Of course one summer doesn't a climate make; but what's going to happen here next?

As I watch literally every single person I...
As I watch literally every single person I know get married and have kids, I have finally caved in and am giving this a shot. Hopefully I will find someone who will appreciate my oh so many great qualities. Let's hope that person exists somewhere, so I can appreciate theirs. I like dorky things, relaxing, hanging out, going to concerts, coffee, sitting outside, being sarcastic, getting out of the house and taking a ride for the hell of it, eating, looking for the perfect version of a certain song that will really complete my collection of (X) band, more relaxing, exercising (well, I try), and baseball. It can take me a little while to warm up to people, but I am very loyal once I do. I am smart, funny, knowledgeable, reliable and like to learn about new things. I have a decent career in an exciting office setting. I have experienced quite a few things over the past couple of years, and I am now in a place to be able to do some of things I have always wanted to do. I tend to be cynical, but I am excited for what the future (hopefully) brings. I like women who can make me laugh (and who laugh at my silly references), who don't take themselves or most things too seriously. Someone who has their own career and interests in life and enjoys those things. Someone who understands what its like to love and to lose. I love me some music, such as all things Pink Floyd, seeing Pearl Jam for the 12th time, and wishing I could play drums for the Who (FYI-I do not know how to play the drums). I always seem to have time (maybe too much time) for reruns of Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development and, sadly, Cops. Well, that's about it. Drop me a line if you find this interesting.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
I am a dog person but a fan of all creatures big and small.
Middle of the Road
NYC is always a epic experience. LA and Vegas are a good time as well. I am not huge fan of places where you are stuffed together like cattle, so locally I prefer smaller restaurants and bars.
really great cups of coffee, music, eating anything cooked on the grill, concerts, rum, Monty Python references, being outside when it's nice out. Not necessarily in that order.
hanging out with friends, movies, finding things that are funny or pointing them out, laughing like hell.
I enjoy Wikipedia-ing, which is reading about a subject on Wikipedia and then jumping to links within that article that take you to an entirely different subject. and so and so forth. Also, news, sports and weather.....yada, yada, yada.

Foy's upset sends him to the finals
MADISON -- Jordan Foy summed up well what kind of match he'd just won.
"Heart to heart and head to head."
The hearts and heads of Ellsworth's Foy and Dodgeville's T.J. Wunnicke clashed in the Division 2 125-pound semifinals of the WIAA State Individual Wrestling Tournament Friday evening. And when the final buzzer sounded it was Foy coming up with the better of the two in 5-3 upset of the defending state champion. Foy also handed Wunnicke his first loss of the season.

iRig Mic
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
It will, so long as your Mac is of a model produced in the last few years. Older macs do not support the 'headphones + mic' type of plug used on more recent Apple gear. The best way to find out if your particular Mic will work well with this is to check if the tech specs from your model include support for 'Apple headset with remote and mic'. All current generation Macs except for the Mac Pro, do include this feature.

Province Lake Golf is a beautiful blend of the best of classic golf with outstanding modern design. The traditional and the new have been combined to create a wonderful playing experience for today's golfers. Along the way you'll also be treated to spectacular views of the lake, and occasionally you'll spot the wildlife that make their home in the area.
The front nine, built in 1918, was designed by Lawrence Van Etten, who laid out a number of courses on the East Coast, including the Deal Country Club in New Jersey and the original Wykagyl Course in New Rochelle, N.Y. In 1988, a second nine was built, which was designed by renowned East Coast architect Brian Silva. Silva's work includes the Captains Course at Cape Cod National in Brewster, MA, Black Creek Club, in Chattanooga, TN, Shaker Hills in Harvard, MA, and Cyprian Keyes Golf Club in Boylston, MA.
Since 1988, the front nine has been renovated bringing the greens up to USGA standards. On-going improvements include a state of the art irrigation system, additional drainage and reworking many tee boxes. In 2011 we lengthened the 13th hole. In 2012, we added a fifth set of tees so that golfers with any handicap or skill level can have an enjoyable and challenging round. There is also a sixth set of tees further forward for juniors and children. The course can truly meet any skill level successfully.

great quality
Brenda from MORGAN HILL, CA– Verified Buyer
Very nice table and great packaging
Fledgling Snow Bird from Sun City, AZ– Verified Buyer
This looks really good for a wood product item. It's made with some wood but mostly "wood product"; however it's solid, stable and really, quite nice. Directions were a little dicey - vague and missing info, but doable. It took a little time to figure it out but there are only a few pieces to this. I started the assembly with parts backwards, but just unscrewed and started over. I was very impressed with the packaging! Holy Cow! It came double boxed with binding straps and corners were reinforced with heavy cardboard sections. Lots of packing material inside to protect the pieces. This was some stout packaging. The finish on the table isn't bad and what's expected on a wood product item- glued on skin, but overall done OK. This one had a couple of places on edges where the lamination was not totally flat, but they were small and luckily, in inconspicuous places. Overall, I'm happy with this and recommend it. Since it's narrow yet still stable, it makes a beautiful entry table.
Beautiful table!
Karleeko from Lindenhurst, IL– Verified Buyer
This table fits perfectly against a 1/2 wall in my living room, and look absolutely beautiful! The drawer is almost hidden because it's flush with the table top. You can even anchor the table to the wall if you want, parts are included. I should note that one screw hole in the base did not line up, so we had to leave that screw out. But the design of the table is structured in a way that makes the table stable with all other screws in place. I definitely recommend having two people available to assemble this table, so one can hold the pieces in place while the other is inserting the screws. The angles of the table can make it difficult for one person to assemble by themselves.
David from Arizona– Verified Buyer
This table came more assembled than I thought it would. I basically just had to attach the base. It's a nice table. Love the functionality of it. The hardware when you pull the drawer out does seem really cheap and flimsy. It would have been nice if the manufacturer would have spent a couple more bucks on better hardware to allow for a smoother pull. The stain is very very dark. I would have preferred a more solid black finish and this is definitely more of a dark brown or espresso finish.
Nice console table and matches description
Brenda from NY– Verified Buyer
Looks great in my entryway. I wish the manufacturer did a slightly better job with the instructions because my husband and I had to really spend a lot of time putting it together. Most of the furniture in our house has requires self assembly but this one required a little more time and effort. But once it was put together it looks just as described on the website. I really like the table in my entryway with some decor items on it. Also use the drawer(there is only one center drawer) for keys and other small items. Would definitely recommend it to other users.
Perfect size
Kate from Webster, MA– Verified Buyer
I was looking for a small, tall table to place under a wall mounted 60 inch TV. I wanted to place the cable box and DVD box on it. Cables we're run inside the wall. It's a perfect size. Tall enough to display the boxes above the height of my king size bed
Nice looking table
Luis from Oshawa, ON– Verified Buyer
Exactly as it looks on the picture, it does not look cheap at all specially because of the thickness of the platform.
Very pleased
Marijana from Tampa, FL– Verified Buyer
Thanks to this console table, along with a mirror and dining table I have purchased from them, I am a true fan of Hokku Designs. This console table is a beautiful addition to our new place. It's sturdy- I have placed 20-30 pound objects on it before with no problem. It's also easy to clean and doesn't scratch easily. Even though it's not real wood, it has a rich dark finish that makes it look more expensive than it is. I would buy this console table, and anything else from Hokku Designs, again and without hesitation. Also, the product looks exactly as pictured.
Nice add to my entryway!
Stacee from MD– Verified Buyer
This table was just the right size and color for what I was looking for. Plus, I wanted something a bit more contemporary than you usually see. This fit everything I needed. I put the table together by myself and found it fairly easy to do. It only took about 20 minutes.
Great value
Elizabeth from Suwanee, GA– Verified Buyer
Table looks elegant and more expensive than I expected. Good value.

This survey was presented at the film industry's annual convention in Las Vegas - once called ShoWest and now under NATO management and with a new name - CinemaCon. It's priceless. It seems to have been geared to a more mainstream audience trying to learn about who this mysterious "arthouse/indie" customer might be and how to reach out to them and it might be skewed by the sample size and definition - it certainly seems to be different from the impressions of the audiences defined in January by The Arthouse Convergence Conference. More on that later, perhaps...we'll see how the trades cover this story, if they do.Read More »

One day in the 1970's the Loud family decided to let cameras follow them around, and before you knew it we had Snooki and table-tossing Real Housewives.

Considering that it was both a reasonable box office success -- it took in close to $200 million worldwide -- and fairly warmly received (even picking up an Oscar nomination for Robert Downey Jr), it's surprising the extent to which the 2008 all-star comedy "Tropic Thunder" has slipped from memory -- we enjoyed it, but it's certainly not a film we find ourselves ever rewatching. But there's one aspect of the film that backers at Paramount are certainly keen to keep alive: Les Grossman, the vulgar, hirsute studio executive played by Tom Cruise in an against-type, near-career-reviving cameo in Ben Stiller's film.Read More »

Some films are inextricably tied to their soundtracks. It's hard to think of, say, "The Graduate," without Simon & Garfunkel coming to mind, or "Harold & Maude" without Cat Stevens. Fan-favorite directors from Quentin Tarantino to Wes Anderson are known as much for their skills at compiling mixtapes as they are for their filmmaking. But few soundtracks have had such gigantic impact as the one to the 1972 Jamaican crime movie "The Harder They Come," written and directed by Perry Henzell.Read More »

Hoping to lure the Facebook and Twitter crowds, Microsoft introduced its Kin mobile phones Monday.
Microsoft on Friday started offering a new model of the Zune HD portable media player with built-in storage of 64GB, double that of previous models.
Microsoft today said it would deliver 11 security updates next week to patch 25 vulnerabilities in Windows, Office and Exchange.

A third of Brits think using pirated software either at home or work is acceptable, says Microsoft.
Microsoft's quest to make a name for itself in the high-performance computing world took a step forward this week with a new beta version of Windows HPC Server that Microsoft says will improve scalability and simplify supercomputing.
Software developer and political lobbyist Florian Mueller weighed in on the European Commission's investigation of monopoly abuse claims against IBM, accusing the computing giant of deserting the interests of the open-source software community.
Henry Edward Roberts, designer of the Altair 8800 personal computer that inspired Bill Gates and Paul Allen to enter the software business, has died aged 68.
Microsoft is ending its support for Intel's Itanium processor with the current version of its Windows Server OS, according to a Microsoft blog posting Friday.
An appeals court has refused to rehear the case that ultimately forced Microsoft to remove a feature from Office 2007, leaving the U.S. Supreme Court as the software maker's most likely next step.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

If the government of Quebec wants to upgrade their AutoCad 2000 license to AutoCad 2010 licenses, do they have to accept bids from people who want to sell them the free software program "Bricscad" running under Wine?
Close, but no cookie. It means the government has to describe the need they need to fill, instead of dictating a specific product, in their RFP. Any bidder that can meet these needs can submit a proposal. It's common sense, really.
No, wrong. This judgement is about the procument process.
Libre == Free (as in speech). That couldn't be more fitting!
Correction to the article text: Savoir-Faire Linux is a commercial Linux service provider (an integrator), not an "activist". Look them up on the web. They sued the government because buying Windows specifically without considering Free software options was witholding them business.
FACIL, which also sued the government for the same reason in a different case, *is* an advocacy non-profit organization, somewhat akin to APRIL or the FSF.
The RFP specified "Windows Vista license", which by definition excluded anybody who wanted to submit a proposal desktop OS replacement plan based on Linux. What Savoir-Faire Linux won is, basically (paraphrased, read the judgement) the right to submit a proposal to upgrade Windows desktop to Linux.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

Beijing: A moderate 5.8-magnitude earthquake
struck northwest China on Monday, just three days after a strong
tremor rattled the same area and caused the collapse of a coal
mine, seismologists said.
The epicentre of the latest quake, which struck at 0615
pm (1015 GMT), was located 170 kilometres northeast of the
city of Golmud in Qinghai province, the US Geological Survey
(USGS) reported.
The quake hit at a relatively shallow depth of 10
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
On Friday, a 6.2-magnitude quake hit the same region,
followed by nearly 350 aftershocks.
A coal mine near the epicentre and about 30 nearby houses
collapsed during Friday`s quake but no one was injured,
China`s state Xinhua news agency said.
The earthquake zone, which is home to ethnic Mongolians
and Tibetan farmers and herdsmen, is dotted with coal, tin,
lead and copper mines.
In November, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the same
area with no fatalities reported.
China`s Qinghai province and neighbouring Tibet are prone
to earthquakes.

QVC Cook's Essentials -- Opinions?
I will be getting married this summer and would like to purchase a new cookware set for my future husband and me. So far we have a couple of basic pieces that have gotten us through college and a little beyond but I would like to purchase a set that will last us much longer and be much more durable. My parents have also given me a few Oneida stainless steel pieces that I love, so I am looking for something similar. I am interested in QVC's Cook's Essentials Stainless Steel line. Here is what I like:
- The saucepans have the curved sides near the base that spoons fit easily in.
- The saucepans come with collander (SP?) lids which I have rarely seen anywhere else.
- I like being able to see what I am cooking with the tempered glass lids.
- I really like stainless steel! I know the anodized (SP?) is supposed to be better but I think they are too ugly for me!
- I have bought from QVC often in the past and have always been satisfied with their service.
What do you think? Good? The only other concern I have is that this line is only oven-safe to 350. They have a stainless steel 500 line that is oven-safe to 500, but I don't like the stainless lids. I also have never needed to put my cookware in the oven like that -- usually just use on stovetop.
I LOVE cooking but can't afford tons of $$. Is this a good value? What are your opinions on what would be best long term? Any opinions on Cook's Essentials in general? Thanks for any advice!!
I too, have been looking hard at the Cook's Essentials Line. I have read many good reports on the internet about their warranty. I have a full set of Calph "Pro" Nonstick and I was very happy when I first got it. But now, it has pretty much lost it's nonstick ability. Can't get the fry pan clean. I have the bakeware set also, and the "Jelly Roll" pans are flaking badly. I have read many complaints about the Calphalon warranty too. Seems they deny most claims always stating that the owner did "something wrong" that voided the warranty. So I won't even bother sending them back to Calphalon, I'll throw them out. I plan to purchase the "Technique" Anodozed non-stick set in the near future.
My friends have Cook's Essentials and really like it. I went the HSN route with Ultrex and 14,000 scrubs with a Scotch Brite - wrong choice. Its nonstick started wearing off right away. My cookware is mostly stainless tri-ply now, and a couple of month ago I did get a non-stick from ScanPan after hearing good reports. I use this for eggs and other frying where I want to keep the oil to a minimum. I think I am going to get Cook's Essentials non-stick electric pot so that I have more cooking area for the holidays. I missed the smaller size, but I think they have the 8 qt. available. You might want to take a look, and try one of their 'try me' offers.
Ye sI believe the cookware is only oven safe to 350 but hte 500 series to 500 I believe. I have 1 pc of 500 & a set of the regular & while both work well & look great I hate the 500 b/c of the stainless handle - burns - yikes!
I bought a set of Cook's Essentials Hard Anodized about a year ago, and I love it. The non stick interior has held up beautiflly and the one thing I especially like is that you can use metal utensils with it and it comes with a lifetime warrenty. I have been purchesing things from QVC for many years and know if you have a problem they are more than eager to help resolve it. If you buy it use it for 30 days, If you don't like it send it back they will give you a full refund. Try it I think you will be very pleased.
We have a set and have been using them for about 2-1/2 years now. Most of the pots are almost like new still. The fry pans are in good shape even though we have been using metal utensils with them. They still retain all their non-stick ability, though one of them is discolored from where someone let the thing "boil dry" so to speak. The pans have a lifetime warranty if you ever have a problem. They cook very evenly and perform very well. I think they are an excellent buy for the money. We had to augment our starter set with a few other open stock purchases, but that is true of all "sets" and I think it was worth it to buy the set. Good luck. :-)
Many years ago we bought the frying pans from QVC on a lifetime warranty. They have been fine, BUT when the teflon wears out, QVC needs you to return the item. And you do not know what pan they will replace it with. This costs more in postage than the pan is worth. So beware - the warranty isn't a very good deal.
