The lesson from Reagan is that the public judges you more on what you say than what you do. The prime example is that Reagan railed against national debt, yet his policies directly led to the largest peace time increase in the national debt of any president in US history, and virtually all conservatives still talk about being "fiscally responsible like Reagan." (who was in fact one of the most fiscally irresponsible presidents in US history)
The same goes for Obama, but in reverse. Obama talked a progressive game, and thus got a lot of people believing him to be a progressive, on both sides of the isle, bur his actions proved him to be a supply-sider who has largely stayed the course of George Bush, not in fact brought about any changes, yet despite the reality of his actions, he is still portrayed in the media and believed by conservatives to be some kind of radical leftist, while he's largely implementing a right-wing agenda.
PS – Paul,
Correlation is not the same as cause and effect.
While Lexington captured well some salient points about the Reagan presidency, interwoven with comparisons to the present day, there is one part I found a bit biased and largely unfounded. It states near the end that "Mr. Obama does not share this belief (that nothing is impossible in America if government gets out of the way), and is perhaps right not to. The idea that nothing is impossible in and for America is an illusion."
What an absurd idea!
Of all people, Mr. Obama should believe that all is possible in America. He is a formerly little-known, black man with few credentials and very little public sector (and zero private sector) experience who, at a relatively young age, has become the president of a great nation.
Unfortunately for America, you are right in stating that he does not believe, but you are far from the truth when you say that his skepticism is justified.
As for your comments of getting government out of the way to let people cooperate freely, this is great idealism.
In practice, we have greed; we have Wall St. making sure that derivatives couldn't be regulated and the NRA making sure that the ATF can't have a computerized database of weapons.
How do you account for this?
Great holier than thou attitude.
But making claims is not the same as backing them up.
Mr Duffy I did give you examples of when the top rate of income tax was cut and revenue went up. I will do so again. In each case if you want further information LOOK IT UP YOURSELF.
When Harding cut the top rate revenue from it went UP.
When Coolidge cut the top rate revenue from it went UP.
When Herbert "The Forgotten Progressive" INCREASED the top rate (as part of his general statism - something the eduction system and the MSM seem to have forgotten) revenue went DOWN.
When Jack Kennedy cut the top rate revenue from it went UP.
When Ronald Reagan cut the top rate revenue from it went UP.
When even George Walker Bush (wild spending nonenity though he was) cut the top rate revenue from it went UP.
I will now add some more examples (in case the above is not enough for you).
In Britain when the top rate was cut revenue went UP.
And in EVERY EASTERN EUROPEAN NATION THAT HAS TRIED A FLAT RATE INCOME TAX - revenue at the top end has gone UP.
"Not backing it up".
I just have - AGAIN.
If you want more money to spend on your big government schemes very high top rates of income tax will NOT get if for you.
Nor is it just income tax.
As Charles Gibson of ABC (a lifelong Democrat)said to Barack Obama - if you increase the Capital Gains Tax (to the level Obama said he wanted to increase it to) revenue goes DOWN not up.
"So would you still increase it" (inspite of this meaning LESS revenue not MORE reveune) said Charles Gibson.
"Yes, because it is a matter of fairness" said Barack Obama.
On this I think it is clear who is the ideological fanatic who does not care about the evidence - and it is not me.
I also repeat that I want to cut taxes at the lower end - NOT because I claim it will mean more revenue (I MAKE NO SUCH CLAIM) but because I want people to keep more of their own money.
My favourate reading is not such works as "My Struggle" (by A. Hitler) or "The Communist Manifesto" (by K. Marx). I am not a collectivist and I do not go around shotting Congresswomen for the "crime" of being Jewish (Karl Marx "The businessman is an inwardly circumcised Jew" and lots of other nasty stuff from a man who was always trying to "kill the Jew in himself").
I believe in voluntary cooperation (civil society - not big government), I hope that (on reflection) you agree with me - and reject collectivism (whether of the "Red" or "Brown" type).
There need be no contradiction between your desire to help the poor and freedom - because government is NOT the best way to help the poor.
If government got out of the way and people were allowed to cooperate freely (without endless taxes, regulations and the endless corporate welfare to the banks and other such) then indeed "all things would be possible" (IF people really worked at them).
This is the core secret of Lexington - he knows statism does not work, but rather than let people try freedom he just tries to teach them that things are hopeless, that they can not achieve anything in work and cooperation. So we must allow a "leading role" to the so called intellectual vanguard (even though the statist schemes of these great minds always go wrong).
Paul Marks,
Yes, I did see you are specifically talking about the upper income tax rate.
You make a lot of claims without ever backing them up.
You also assume that I want big government – not sure why you assume this.
Either this author is deeply conflicted, or you can see that the editors are carefully walking a tightrope. I submit that the following paragraph contradicts itself: "History will remember for ever that the Soviet Union began to unravel on Reagan's watch, helped on its way both by the affable cold warrior's determination to overawe the "evil empire" with a vast hike in military spending and by the unexpected rapport he established with Mikhail Gorbachev.... It was Reagan's good luck to become president when the Soviet system was rotting from within." Well, was it just Reagan's "good luck", or was it the "cold warrior's (steely)determination?" It would be fair to write that it was a combination of both, but if it was, then it was NOT mere good luck was it!? Would it upset you cynical Brits to simply acknowledge Reagan's greatness and significant achievements? Additionally, to admit the painfully obvious, which is that Obama simply does not love his country.
Regan got things done by having a vision and accepting nothing less. Whereas, contrary to the demagogue image Fox tries to paint, Obama tries to listen to the arguments and compromise. Perhaps this reading exercise will teach him to be more demanding.
Peter Gray17 wrote: "But interpreting the developments of 1980's Eastern Europe as results of Gorbachev's good will and the Soviet system "rotting from within"?
Makes you wonder how well Lexington understands recent British history, let alone American. While the USSR was 'rotting from within' Gorbachev was using its treasury to fund union resistance to the Conservative government in Britain. Then again, maybe that's the kind good will Lexington means when he talks about Gorbachev.
Nothing is impossible for America when Americans are driven to achieve it. This isn't because Americans are some superior race but rather because the American Way is to work hard and achieve greatness from one's own efforts rather than expect it from others, something most of the rest of the world has thoroughly dismissed. Many Americans have forgotten the principle as well, but enough remember for the ember to still burn, waiting for the breath of a great leader to stoke the fire. Barak Obama's principles will not allow him to trust individual Americans but he will not serve long. An inspirational president will serve again soon.
Paul Volker as Federal Reserve Chairman in the early 1980s.
Yes the Democrat was better than the Republican, Alan Greenspan, who Reagan appointed. In fact Alan Greenspan was an utterly dreadful Fed Chairman (a man who took corporate welfare to a whole new level). Ayn Rand was right to shove that dinner plate in the man's face all those years ago.
"So you are admitting we are correct - Volker was better (or less bad) than Greenspan, and Reagan made a terrible blunder in appointing Greenspan".
Yes - the facts give me no option but to admit you are correct.
So if I am in the defender of Reagan and attacking of all Democrats role, I have to admit defeat on this point.
Leon Duffy - I was careful to say the top rate, not all taxes.
I said it several times
I did NOT say that if you got rid of all taxes (i.e. reduced the top rate to zero) that would mean that tax revenue would go up.
Before attacking someone it is well to actually read what they wrote.
By the way - I repeat, I am NOT in favour of maximising revenue (i.e. I would support cuts in the lower rates of tax - not just the top rate), this is because I wish to dramatically reduced the size of government.
In short (in case you did not read that bit either) I would like to cut govenment SPENDING.
However, even if someone (like yourself) is a big government person - you should still not support a high rate of income tax (even from your own point of view) as this means less money for you to spend on your big government projects.
Why do you think so many countries have gone over to a flat rate income tax?
Are the following Paul Marks - am I super powerful?
Of course not - they are simply following their experience. A flat rate income tax gets them more money than the "Progressive" (graduated) income tax with high rates at the top end.
This is not rocket science Mr Duffy.
I have just looked at the comments of the murderer in Arizonia (the person who shot a member of Congress and murdered several other people).
Some people over at theblaze.com are making a big thing of him being a monetary expansionist - what used to be called a "monetary crank", a believer in more money, lower (if any) interest rates and so on.
However, this is unfair - violent lunatics can be found who hold all sorts of points of view.
I am sure if this murderer has been been very anti the wealth-without-work "cheap money" point of view, Lexington would have denounced anyone who tried to smeer "the right" by associating them with him.
Just I will now say that I utterly reject (and denouce) any idea that this man supporting monetary expansion (so called cheap money) in any way reflects on the Economist magazine - or the rest of the MSM.
I think it would be fair(er) to attribute the end of inflation to Paul Volker, who raised interest in 1981 from 11% to 20%. Reagan was so happy he fired him in 1987. (Well, at least he didn't reappoint him.)
Paul Marks,
Let's assume your premise is true then if we get rid of taxes on the rich altogether, their taxes paid should go up even more.
Can you tell me how that works?
While ever president has his failures, I think your post failed to discuss the vast economic success Regan was. Although he left the country with a 2.7 trillion deficit (what we wouldn't give for that now) he increased national wealth by 7 trillion.
During Reagan's administration the economy grew at a rate of 3.4% beating the previous 20 year average and the next 8 years following Reagan.
Inflation rate plummeted from 12.5% to 4.4%
Unemployment fell from 7.7% to 5.5% with 15 million new jobs created.
The S&P grew at a rate of 124%, and the productivity rate leaped 15%, while charitable giving increased by 57%.
Reagan had far more success than failures, anyone who denounces Reagan as an economic failure isn't looking at the data.
@ Katie 10
I have a few issues on some of the main points that your raised
1) Standard of living down.
Who got the States into this mess?? The gap between the the top and bottom in the US is the most pronounced in the developed westernised world and never more evident since the Reagan days. In fact under the last administration, to put in bluntly 'the rich just got richer'.
2) Regulations are up
Why? Because failed/bankrupt businesses were bailed out by the Fed. Do you want them to fail again? One needs to regulate these industries so they don't force the fed to socialise private business debts that costs the taxpayer again. Personally, don't like pure socialism, however big business loved socialism in this instance....massive paradox huh???
3) New taxes.
Show me examples? There are none...Obama did a deal with the GOP to keep the Bush era tax system for the wealthy in place
4) Energy costs raising
Perhaps it would have been cheaper for Bush to buy oil from middle east dictators than to invade their countries??
Just an honest reflection. The hardworking, well educated middle class really needs to take a good look at itself. Are we voting for those who do not really have our interests at heart??
I don't live in the US (but nearby) and I don't think most Americans would agree with what I'm going to say:
I always thought that Reagan was honest and optimistic but not too intelligent. He was a good actor though and he spoke in simple folksy words. Obama on the other hand, is slick and opportunistic but also not very intelligent either. He does have a beautiful smile (that's what my wife keeps telling me) and is the first black American President. Actually I think that both Carter and Clinton were twice as smart as Reagan or Obama, but the American public, in general, is often more impressed by the packaging than the content.
Anyway, the global economic situation nowadays is very different from the days of Reagan. It's true that the US "defeated" communism, but by focussing too much on Russia as the main enemy, they let China rise (in fact, US actually supported China economically and politically as a counterweight to Russia). Of course, the threat of Islamic terrorism wasn't serious yet in the Reagan era. The American public has to realize that modern foreign policy is not just about defeating communism or "winning" wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The economy (job creation, financial markets etc.) of the US is not a purely internal affair anymore. Outsourcing of jobs, capital and especially technology is a relatively new phenomenon in the global economy. China is the country that profited the most in the "new economy" since Reagan was President and this has major consequences for US politics, both internally and externally. The question is whether the Obama's and the Palin's of America can deal with these global realities, if they keep on doing American style politics as usual (form over substance). We will see in the next 25 years or so, when we compare Obama with the President in 2032.
Paul Marks,
You make the claim; can we see your data that backs that up?
What we have seen in this country is that the income of the top 1% has gone from 9% to over 20%.
That is like living in Brazil.
No thanks.

Trento is a surprise package. A city of approx 120 000 based on education and finance this city is located on the river Adige, a major trading route with Europe in earlier time, and completely surrounded by snow covered mountains. Spectacular.

We had a coffee and ice-cream (kids have had more ice cream in Italy than they have had all year!) and then a look through the shops on the ...

Liberties have been taken with [Louis Bromfield's] original novel, resulting in switching some of the original characterizations or intent, but under production code restrictions, and to conform with the mass market of film entertainment, it merges as a competent job.True, Myrna Loy's Lady Esketh isn't the trollop of the original. True, the romantic Major (Dr.) Rama Safti (Tyrone Power) was more of a symbol of the new India in the book, than triangular link as in this film. True, also, that the romantic antics by the stellar trio and Brenda Joyce (opposite George Brent), and the tropical earthquake that well nigh wrecks the mythical domain of Ranchipur, are more Zanuck than Bromfield. But it is good cinematurgy. Newcomer Joyce, 18-year-old Los Angeles high school 'find' cast as the daughter of social-climbing missionaries, rings the bell throughout with a consistent performance as a forthright romantic adolescent, stuck on Brent. Latter is the wastrel, of good British family, who has been dawdling in Ranchipur for years on an art assignment. His best friend is the enlightened young Safti, who is blind to any romantic deviations, in his intensive medical duties, until Loy comes on the scene. The simple heroics following the quake are more effective than the earth-rending sequences themselves. On montage, Fred Sersen rates a bow for his special effects. 1939: Best Special Effects.

It was a pleasure hosting Suzanne's parents. We couldn't have asked for better guests and would be happy to have them stay with us again, anytime!
Suzanne was great.

How many coils does it have? It may have a failed coil from all the overworking with bad plugs and wires.
Can you pull the code for us?

Hi there, thanks for your quick respond, sorry but my knolidge about cars is not that great, what is a coil and how do I find out how many, and what code you after, cheers

The coil pack is wher the ignition leads connect to other end to the spark plugs, I would go to a mechanic and ask for a scan, they will be able to do this as you wait, and they can advise you of any codes set in the system.

'Colonial nostalgia'
Rights groups were angered by the presence of countries such as Niger, where a military government took power in a coup five months ago and where French nuclear firm Areva has lucrative uranium mining contracts.
But Sarkozy insisted the parade was not about colonial "nostalgia" during an address to the African leaders on Tuesday.
"I know very well the notion of privileged and special relations, this flood of suspicions and fantasies, but the time has come to face up to it together, without inhibitions and without looking back," he said.
Herve Morin, the defence minister, also dismissed the criticism, saying there was "no indication" that there were war criminals among Sarkozy's guests.
About 12 African heads of state attended the parade along with Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni.
The parade saw fighter jets fly over the city, followed by African troops marching down the Champs Elysees avenue, headed by an all-female unit from Benin.
They were followed by French troops, firemen, police, armoured vehicles and marching bands.
The heads of state from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo sat watching from the official stand.
Ivory Coast was represented by a government minister but did not take part in the march. Forces from Madagascar also joined the parade.
Bastille day is an annual French holiday that marks the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789, signalling the start of the French Revolution.

What You Can Expect
Built in traditional Thai architecture mixed with European designs, The Grand Palace complex, once the official home for the Kings of Siam, is unquestionably one of the Thailand's major tourist highlights. The King still uses the Grand Palace for certain ceremonial occasions and the regal flavor within its enormous royal grounds is still evident. During the tour you will visit the Royal Funeral Hall and the Royal Coronation Hall.
The main centerpiece of the complex however is the 45 centimeter Emerald Buddha. Carved from just one piece of Jade it is the holiest and most revered religious object in Thailand. The Emerald Buddha is housed within Wat Phra Kaew, which is a very ornately decorated building whose roof tiles reach up into the sky.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
our guide was knowledgable, funny, and his English was fluent. This tour gave us enough time to see everything without dragging on. I would definitely recommend taking a tour to see The Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha, because wihout one you wouldn't learn as much.

This tour was amazing!

PeoplePal is apparently a legitimate add-on. But these folks are not my pals:
Mozilla/ 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; PeoplePal 6.2)
I just got hit by a blizzard of auto-referers,* all from different IPs. (I'll look them up in case some turn out to be from regions I don't mind blocking on general principle, but overall the IP route is not going to cut it.) Took up a huge slab of log space, but on closer inspection it all happened within a single span of less than ten minutes. Another batch with different UA came by later in the day.
Made me so riled, I'm now off to fiddle with htaccess. Auto-referer, meet auto-redirect. No more Mr. "I don't like your face" Nice Guy; they're all going to 127.0.0.1 from here on.
Final quirk: They all home in on my second-fattest page. The #1 fattest is in the e-books directory, which for some reason tends to frighten robots. Neither of the two serves any purpose except to screw up my Keyword count. Same goes for old familiar robots like my Ukrainians. There's got to be something in the robotic algorithm that tells them to go for weight.
* I don't know if there's an official term. The ones that give the requested site as its own referer.

1.) Sounds like a botnet. You can chase 'em forever but it's pretty futile because they're programmed shape-changers.
What to do? Most of the time the UA's fake -- [
...] -- so block by UA with caution.
Instead, run the worst of the IPs through Project Honey Pot and see if they're compromised; chances are they will be. Then note the threat levels: >30-40 means you'll likely see them again. Block by IP/CIDR/country accordingly.
2.) When you describe things, it would really help if you include log excerpts because descriptions can be tough to decipher.
3.) FWIW, this self-referrer is fake --
-- and thus blockworthy as-is. Is that what you saw?

I looked up the IPs. They came from all over the place, but the batch included about half a dozen previously unsuspected China ranges, so I blocked those on general principle.

The size of the file they're aiming for is in six digits. What you're seeing here is the "I don't like your face" page that they got rewritten to. I don't understand why it doesn't come out exactly the same size every time. HTTP 1.1 is always a little bigger, but HTTP 1.0 alone generates five or six different sizes. The file itself is 716 bytes.
3.) FWIW, this self-referrer is fake --
-- and thus blockworthy as-is. Is that what you saw?
Yup. I don't have a global block because they're not that common overall. I check this specific file, and also the ebooks directory. The current batch of robots would have been rewritten to the same page anyway because I've got a separate routine for MSIE [56]. But the auto-referer rewrite-- which has now been replaced by a redirect-- comes earlier. The rare human might show up using MSIE 5, so I can't send them off to contemplate their navels. But no human is ever going to give the requested page as its own referer.
FunWebProducts is the key here.
It's been a compromised tb for some years.
Well, that's nice to know, because I always thought it was a stupid name. But a quick riffle through logs tells me there are still humans using it, so I can't take the easy way out.
Anyone have any bright ideas about filesize? I honestly can't think of any other factor that would send robots flocking to this one little-visited page. It has
been unduly popular with the Wrong Kind of robot.

Thanks for the additional info. Thoughts...
1.) A malicious botnet is not merely a batch of robots. Infected machines, a.k.a. zombies, are remotely activated and orchestrated, like so many sleeper secret agents in spy stories.
2.) As suspected, a sampling of your visitors are long-compromised:
Hungary Szervernet - Threat 33 [
Slicehost cloud-ips.com - Threat 16 [
Giga-Hosting giga-dns.com - Threat 19 [
(Aside: I don't always include full IPs in posts because I routinely see individuals' machines controlled right along with the big dogs, like those in server farms.)
3.) Botnets also do not function like 'regular' robots. Your page may have a word, phrase, title, e-mail address, something, anything that makes it hit-worthy to some master program. Or your page may have landed on some master hit list, reported by zombies as a likely target to vandalize. Or -- whatever.
4.) "not that common overall" ... Why wouldn't you put the kibosh on a proven botnet tell?

I generally don't like rules that force the server to stop and investigate
every single
page request. And my informational niches are soooo narrow that I really don't want to risk locking out even one human by mistake.
otoh, I don't know why I don't block slicehost wherever I find them. Not much to choose between them and softlayer or limestone, which I think do get blocked on sight. I've got huge slabs of Hetzner locked out, even though not
their residents are malicious. I feel guilty locking out theplanet, because everything emanating from my corner of the country has to pass through Planet to reach the rest of the internet. (This is literally true. We are connected to the rest of the world via
physical cable that runs under a landslide-prone stretch of highway.)
It may simply depend on what mood I'm in when I find the IP range ;) And I'm more likely to slap global blocks on non-English-speaking, especially non-Roman-script-using, sources.

Over time, you'll realize, that potential solitary user does not offer enough benefit to offset the open-door vulnerabilities, nor will you ever be repaid (cash or otherwise) for your compassion.

the "PeoplePal" UA and then specific IP's.
These were configured to thwart some pest active on an internet forum. (I had removed them in my dissecting, however just added the custom setup back in.
Ten or more years ago Ford Motor Co, offer employees and other affiliated computers are a very low price. In addition and with the purchase the buyer was given a basic dial-up connection for $5.00 a month.
All these computer were by PeoplePC and had the PeoplePal software. In fact, I have one of these computers given by a friend with a whopping 768CPU.
It's surprising that either the machines are still being used, and/or that the affiliation has survived the past few years.
I looked at the PeoplePC websites and saw some notes about 2010, however nothing recent.
Guess if they weren't still in business, they wouldn't have a website ;)

"I was really please with these cards and with customer service! The card design is perfect for the rustic yet cute theme of the shower, the paper is high quality, and the colors turned out beautifully. During the review stage, I needed to make a few changes and the designer I worked with was very fast at making those changes. I expected the changes to take an extra day or two, but she fixed everything within a matter of an hour. I would order from here again in a heartbeat!"
"The invitation is pretty, easy to read, great colors and quality. I received them by fedex as expected. I have used this site a few times and it's been perfect every time!"
"Paper quality was beyond what I expected. The color of the card was so rich - opening the plastic that covered them, I actually scratched one of the cards down to white. The only suggestion I would have is that there be someplace to mention the groom's name. I didn't notice that until I was addressing the cards to people who might not know this young lady's future husband."
"Easy to make them look good. I am not savey on line. they made it easy for me to look GOOD. They were perfect amd I will use you always!!!!"
"They did an excellent job of making information fit on the invitation. We had several hostesses as well as places that bride was registered at and they did a great job of making it all fit on invitation and look wonderful!"

Kim Kardashian - Kim Kardashian inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker?
Kim Kardashian is reportedly keen to reinvent herself and be seen as more than a reality TV star - and it is said she is looking to Sarah Jessica Parker for inspiration.
Kim Kardashian wants to reinvent herself in Sarah Jessica Parker's image.
The reality TV star is reportedly keen to become known for something other than simply ''being famous'' and she wants to emulate the 'Sex and the City' star.
A publicist told NaughtyButNiceRob.com: ''Kim wants to be seen as sophisticated, as high-end fashion, not the girl who made a sex tape and is famous for being famous.
''She is trying to buy her reinvention by employing SJP's team.''
It is said Sarah finds the development ''a little creepy'' and would advise the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star to start acting lessons and work for the admiration.
The source added: ''Sarah thinks the whole thing is flattering but a little creepy.
''If Kim wants to be Sarah, her advice would be to go to acting classes. Learn a craft and become admired for the work you do, not just the way you look.''
This follows recent reports Kim hired the actress' representative Ina Treciokas - along with her stylist, hairdresser and make-up artist.
It would mark a change for the star, as it has also been claimed she is willing to give partner Kanye West more control over her career.
An insider previously said: ''Kim wants to set herself apart from the Kardashian PR machine and Kanye West advised her to build her own team.''

Medea ultra-premium vodka is taking "Message In A Bottle" to a whole new level. Using Apple's iBeacon Bluetooth Technology, Medea Vodka will let scroll a custom message on the bottle; bottle service at the club will now be a bit more entertaining.
Happy St. Patricks Day! No go get those beer goggles on an turn that 1 you've been staring at into a 10!
Being big on the outdoors we love to take our favorite brews on the road with us and sometimes it's hard when the beer we want to take with us is something that we made in the shop. The good people over at the DrinkTanks have another great tool in their lineup we will be adding to our tool boxes when it comes out. The Juggernaut Growler and Personal Keg.
Beer Enthusiast Adam Rehberg has two passions in life, Beer and Gaming. He recently invented a board game that would help share his two passions with the masses. The game takes you through a journey of creating a fictitious craft brew from its infancy to having it distributed to the masses. Check out the video below for more info and if your feeling generous you can visit his kickstarter campaign and make a donation towards making Adam Rehbergs dream come true.
Rudy's oh Rudy's, you've saved us from waiting for the bus in the apocalyptic light show that is Times Square. Although your Times Square anxiety will be soothed once you walk into Rudy's and order a blonde or amber house draft and sink your teeth into a free all beef hotdog. Yes FREE! For every beer ordered comes a dog on a bun, but don't get greedy you'll be called out for it. All the usual suspects in bottles and tap with an occasional craft brew as well as Rudy's own Blonde Ale or Amber. We suggest trying it as its cheap, about $2 and treats you the same as those other big names. The place is sprinkled with aspiring actors, locals theater folk and well basically everyone under the sun and moon stop in here being that it is in the heart of tourist town. We stop in fairly often as you should too and enjoy a piece of Old New York. (Disclaimer: it's changed a bit since Old New York but it's still got its charm.)
We spend a lot of time in our wood shop throwing back beers and coming up with ideas for projects. In doing so recently, we stumbled upon the Kinkajou bottle cutter. This device makes turning empty bottles into candle holders a breeze when you're in a rush to get the man cave feeling a bit more romantic for your lady friend.

WANTED: Pond Plants
I was given a large tractor tire and I'm working it in to the side of my hillside rock garden where it comes down to the lowest level next to the lawn and making it into a pond at the edge of the lawn. It should look very nice when I get it completed.
I am looking for pond plants and floating plants. I don't have pond plants to trade back, but have named iris' and asters I can offer in trade. Some of my iris I have listed on my trade page are new and too small to remove fans, but most are available and need to be divided this year. The fans are just beginning to grow for Spring. The asters grow to be 3' hot pink, 1 1/2' medium purple, and 1 1/2' lavender and are just beginning to grow for the year. They are about 2" tall right now.
I'm not looking for anything that grows taller than a sweet flag as those plants would block the view of my other plants on the hillside behind the pond.
The rock garden is a small hillside tiered down in four layers that is supported by river rock & lava rocks. Each level has iris', day lilies, asters, lavender, spring bulbs and creeping phlox, I'm going to plant tree roses along the upper level to frame the yard area. Above the rock garden is a 150' wide x 20' long band of river rock laid on weed barrier with wooden posts to give a wagon wheel effect in the rocks that supports the weight of the rocks from rolling into the rock garden. The rock garden is about the same size below the rocks on the hillside. It has turned out real nice and sure has saved me a lot of hard work from when I had to mow the hillside with a weed eater to keep the grass and weeds in control. It got to be too dangerous on such a steep bank for these old legs. Plus I have something blooming from Spring till the hard freezes of late Fall to enjoy.
Ideas for plants that might work ? :
Pickerel Weed
Flowering Rush
Sweet Flag
Water Cress
Water Lily
Duck Weed
Lesser Water Parsnip
Water Plantain
Have any suggestions? I'm new to tire ponds and not sure what the best plants would be. Would love a pretty smaller water lily and sweet flag for sure.

NKOTB / BSB tour announces first dates for 2011 collaborative concerts
Details about the collaboration between New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are beginning to materialize. This week the grown-up kings of boy-band pop confirmed the first five dates of their joint NKOTBSB Tour, slated for summer 2011.
The trek's North American calendar presently opens with a June 9 show at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON. The two troupes will then perform on June 11 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, and June 12 at Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ. The first confirmed Midwest stop falls days later on June 17 at United Center in Chicago, IL, with West Coast touchdown set for July 1 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Both boy bands will offer fan club presales starting on November 12 in select markets. Details about the respective presales can be found on NKOTB's official Web site and BSB's official Web site.
Public ticket sales begin November 19 in Toronto, Uniondale and East Rutherford. Chicago onsales are close behind on November 20, trailed by Los Angeles onsales on November 22. Ticket prices have not been announced at this point, but updates will be made on the official NKOTBSB Web site.
The all-grown-up Kids and Boys first teased their plans to tour together on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on November 3. But fans won't have to wait until summer 2011 to watch the group collaboration in action. NKTOB and BSB are one of the acts scheduled to perform live at this year's American Music Awards on November 21. According to their site, the award show appearance will count as "their first joint televised appearance."
Backed by the release of new album "The Block," the New Kids staged a successful comeback that carried them through several wildly successful North American tour legs in fall 2008, spring 2009 and summer 2009, suffering just a few production delays and cancellations during the summer leg.
Backstreet Boys have had more modest success in recent years with the likes of their 2008 Unbreakable Tour and a summer 2010 jaunt across North America for the October 2009 album "This Is Us." BSB did both tours down one member of the original lineup. Kevin Richardson announced his split with the group in 2006 and will not participate in the 2011 venture.

Cleaning burnt Le Creuset DO
Hi All,
I'm a regular over on the kitchen forum but this is my first time posting here.
We made meatballs in a tomato based sauce for dinner on Friday night. They are a fairly long simmer, over an hour, and when we were ready to eat and poured the meatballs into a serving dish we saw the entire bottom of the pan was BURNT on tomato sauce.
I have been working on the dutch oven since Friday. I've tried Baking soda, (paste overnight then adding vinegar and cooking for 10 minutes, allowing to cool and scraping - nada), fabric softner (overnight and TONS of elbow grease but not much to show for it.)
So a question... as a LAST resort can I put my Le creuset in the oven on the self clean cycle or will that ruin the pot forever? Any other suggestions to get it clean? I am going to try soaking in ammonia next.
Whenever I have anything that has burnt on to any of my pots or pans, I cover the burnt area with water and about a teaspoon to tablespoon of DISHWASHER detergent. Let it soak overnight and it will wash right out. It has worked every time. If you use powder, it might be beneficial to dissolve the powder first. I specifically have gel or liquid dishwasher detergent on hand just for this purpose since I use gel-pacs or tablets normally.
Do NOT put your Le Cruset pan into the oven during the cleaning cycle.
Cover the bottom with water, add a couple of tablespoons of Dishwasher detergent, as Ia sheff said.......bging it to a boil, cover and let sit for 24 hours.
Use a plastic scraper to remove the crud....and finish cleaning up with a Magic Sponge.
Linda C
I would agree with Jannie, try Dawn Dissolver. I was able to clean the burnt on residue off my porcelain coated grill grates with it. It does have a strong smell (flowery), but I manage to use it without too much bother with my severe allergies. Spray it on and let it sit. Check it every so often to see it it is drying out. If it does not come completely clean, try again.
What is Dawn dissolver? We dont have the product in South Africa.
I burnt grape jam in my le Creuset pot and am still struggling to get it off.
OMG, the thought of risking my most precious and expensive pan to the oven self-clean cycle?! Perish the thought!
One of my favorite remedies is to sprinkle baking soda thickly over the burnt on food, add a fairly small amount of water, bring the pan to a boil, and if desired use a scrub brush to help loosen the gunk as it boils. It can be really miraculous how quickly even the most cement-hardened crust can lift and big black chunks bubble right up within seconds with this treatment. Good luck!
