THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

APP OF THE DAY: Scultpeo review (iOS)
Pocket-lint has a rather special App of the Day coming to you straight from CES 2012 in Las Vegas and we guarantee you've never seen anything quite like it before. The app itself is brand new from a company that's just getting this particular service going, so it's a touch raw at the moment.
All the same, it'll make an amusing free download to try out even if you don't go all the way to the paid part of the service. You'll see what we mean in a minute.

The Sculpteo website has a service that's been around for a while. If you can send them a 3D graphical design from a largely professional software package, the company will have it 3D printed for you and send it to your door. Very nice indeed if you happen to be able to do that kind of thing without a problem.
Most of us, of course, cannot and that's where the Sculpteo iOS app comes in. The company has got a handful of designers on board to provide, currently, five or six objects that you can have printed out. These are espresso cups, slightly larger cups, vases, bowls and other ornaments.
Now, that doesn't sound like a lot of fun on its own but where the app comes in is that you can customise it. Take a picture of yourself in profile with your device's camera and then the app uses the line of your image to shape either the vase or cup. The cup is probably more subtle and useful, but the vases made from side faces are really quite stunning. Glance at them and you might not get it but once you know how they're made, it's hard to shift what you see. What's also quite nice is that you can chose exactly how much of your profile you wish to use - the whole length or just a section.
The objects range from $40-$300 to get them produced and posted and the process will take 30 days, although Sculpteo is planning to cut that in half. This time next year, company CEO Clement Moreau is planning on having 1,000 designers on board to offer a lot more in the way of choice too, as well as more ways to make them your own.

What travelers to Orlando are saying
Orlando, Florida overflows with famous theme parks
The beating heart of Florida, Orlando attracts visitors from all corners of the world and is only a few hours' drive from the state's other major cities including Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Naples. Home to more than a dozen spectacular amusement parks and hundreds of smaller attractions, it also boasts upscale shopping and delicious dining. A combination of world-class resorts and affordable accommodations has helped establish Orlando as a magnet for families in search of a good-time vacation.
Things to see
Ask anyone what their favorite things about Orlando are and they'll likely point out its two major draws: Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Beyond these theme park giants, Orlando actually has a whole host of individual amusement parks for guests of all ages, especially adults with the hearts of big kids.
Walt Disney World
What started out as a single amusement park in 1971 proved so popular, it grew into four: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Your favorite movie characters, both old and new, wander around the parks, so be sure to get a picture with the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Riding some of the world's most famous roller coasters can be tiring, so after a long day of seeking thrills, head to Downtown Disney to eat at Fulton's Crab House and catch a movie at the 24-screen AMC theater. Don't forget to stop in The Lego Store, the single largest shop dedicated to anything and everything Lego.
Universal Studios
Both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are appropriate for families and kids of all ages, but if Walt Disney World is better suited for younger children, Universal Studios might appeal more to young adults. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter stirred much excitement in 2010, and now you can even take a walk down Diagon Alley.
Just outside Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures sits CityWalk, which offers visitors movie-themed shopping and dining opportunities such as Bubba Gump Shrimp.
If it's been your lifelong dream to swim with dolphins, make it come true at SeaWorld's Discovery Cove. You'll also be able to interact with a huge variety of other animals including whales, exotic birds and fish. Think of SeaWorld as the world's best petting zoo.
Of course, your stay wouldn't be complete without going on SeaWorld's water slides and roller coasters. With a unique blend of entertainment and education, families can spend a whole day here and never get bored.
Legoland is a must for Lego collectors of all ages. The park is decorated with custom sculptures, and guests can experiment with millions of different Lego bricks at the Lego Factory. A large botanical garden takes advantage of Orlando's tropical climate.
Hotel price ranges
Each amusement park offers themed accommodations in Florida, but there are plenty more Orlando hotels to suit every budget and taste. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites offers low rates for spacious and comfortable lodgings, with a free shuttle bus taking you to nearby attractions. For a luxurious stay, the JW Marriot Orlando Grand Lakes treats you to an on-site golf course and eleven restaurants.
Best time to stay
Thanks to its tropical climate, Orlando is home to exotic plants and wildlife not found anywhere else. Bromeliads, palm trees and bougainvillea vines keep the city colorful throughout the year, and mild winters allow the amusement parks to remain open during all seasons.
Millions of families flock to Orlando during the summer, and a significant number head to the city around Christmas. If you want to beat the lines at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, plan your vacation from September to November, or from February to April, when the weather is mild.

ONE of the most important collections of watercolour paintings in the world is heading our way.
More than 40 works from the exquisite holdings of Sir Hickman Beckett Bacon (1855-1945), an avid collector of English watercolours between 1895 and the First World War, will be on show at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, from January 12 until April 14.
Now owned by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the precious paintings will be loaned to the Kendal gallery for its next exhibition - Turner and his Contemporaries: The Hickman Bacon Watercolour Collection.
Abbot Hall chief executive Gordon Watson was thrilled at the prospect of the eminent display, which should have the eyes of the nation's arts world focused on the important regional gallery.
In fact, a fitting time to stage such a grand show as Abbot Hall celebrates a half century since its opened its celebrated doors.
Gordon added: "Fifty years ago on September 28, 1962, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret officially opened the gallery and since then Abbot Hall has established itself as one of the most significant and ambitious galleries in the north of England."
Rarely aired in public, the collection will be shown alongside highlights from Abbot Hall's own permanent collection of watercolours.
Sir Nicholas said that he was delighted to be able to lend the paintings to Abbot Hall.
He continued: "My great uncle Sir Hickman Bacon (Hicky) had unusual tastes for his time and thus the collection is very strong in the type of late, ethereal Turner watercolours that only became widely popular with the advent of abstract painting in the 1940s and 50s. Equally, John Sell Cotman, an artist who had only just emerged from total obscurity, was of particular interest.
"Hicky's collection represents English watercolour painting at its greatest; like so many collectors he was not interested by the fashion of the day, but he was committed to collecting those objects which fulfilled his heartfelt love of beauty."
Born in 1855 into a family of landed gentry, Sir Hickman was educated at Eton. He joined the army, later returning to his old-fashioned family mansion. He suffered from ill health early in his life, and remained a bachelor until he died in 1945. He also collected fabrics, wall hangings, ceramics and Japanese prints – a collection he gave to the Japanese Government.
Abbot Hall collections manager Nick Rogers said that an exhibition of watercolours from the 'remarkable' Hickman Bacon collection was a cause for celebration wherever it was held. He added: "That it is taking place in Kendal, Cumbria, is particularly appropriate, as this is an area that played a significant role in the development of watercolour as the medium of choice for the itinerant artist in the late 18th and early 19th Century."
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.

The Meaning of "That"
Mitt Romney is, without doubt, a representative of contemporary capitalism, a spectacularly rich financier who got his money not by making things but by buying and selling companies, exploiting leverage, and a whole bunch of other things folks like you and me will never have the privilege of understanding. So it isn't surprising that this campaign has featured a debate about the nature of our economic system. That debate could be a salutary and educational discussion that leaves us all more informed and aware. Or it could be an occasion for some of the most vile demagoguery you could imagine. Do you need to ask which course it will take?
By now, we can all agree that a large portion of the Republican party has created in their minds an imaginary Barack Obama, one who is either a literal or philosophical foreigner (Romney has begun dropping the word "foreign" in as often as he can when discussing Obama), who hates America (here's Rush Limbaugh on Monday: "I think it can now be said, without equivocation—without equivocation—that this man hates this country"), and one who hates success, hates rich people, and hates capitalism itself. And if you can't find any actual evidence for these propositions—if "Barack Obama hates job creators so much he actually wants to increase the top income tax rate by 4.6 percentage points!" doesn't have quite the ring you'd like—then it isn't hard to find words you can twist around to make your point.
Which brings us to the word "that." If you've been to a Mitt Romney speech in the last day or so, or if you've watched Fox News or listened to conservative talk radio, or even if you've watched some mainstream news*, you would have heard that Barack Obama said that people who own businesses didn't actually build their businesses. Only a secret socialist could say such a thing, and Romney and his allies assure us that Obama did indeed say that and he is indeed that kind of person. But here's what Obama actually said:
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn't -- look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That's how we funded the GI Bill. That's how we created the middle class. That's how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That's how we invented the Internet. That's how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that's the reason I'm running for President -- because I still believe in that idea. You're not on your own, we're in this together.
When this quote worked its way up from the conservative media to the Romney campaign, they knew they had something. Sure, it's obvious that when Obama said "you didn't build that" he was talking about roads and bridges. But who cares? You can take that one sentence out of context, lie about what "that" in the quote refers to, and you've got evidence of Obama's America-hating heart.
And yes, it is a lie, a word I use carefully. Romney and the people who work for him know full well what Obama was and wasn't saying. But they decided to go ahead and engage in an act of intentional deception anyway, and I'm sure he'll be repeating it many times.
There's actually a discussion to be had about the radical individualism that has taken over the conservative movement, which Obama was responding to in his speech. I'd be interested to hear Mitt Romney's thoughts on it, not in a "gotcha" kind of way, but because I genuinely want to know what his response to Obama's arguments would be. Does he think that every rich person got rich completely on their own and owes nothing to the society that created the context that allowed their wealth to be created? I really have no idea. But the deeper into this campaign we go, the more it becomes clear that we'll never know what Romney really believes about anything. And he may not be the most dishonest presidential candidate we've ever seen, but give him time—he's working on it.
*Last night I saw Peter Alexander on NBC Nightly News do a story in which he showed Obama's quote clipped exactly as Romney did, making it seem that Romney was being absolutely truthful. It was one of the most maddening acts of journalistic jackassery I've seen in some time.

These comments are starting to look like a smoke screen. The point Obama was most likely trying to make is that businesses are not built by individuals, in most cases, but by cooperative effort. The inspired guy takes a huge risk and hires other people to help him along. This works fairly with construction, private security, and a host of other business types that rely on the boss getting his hands dirty. It's a radically different matter with a guy like Romney who simply picked businesses apart and gambled money in speculation. You can bicker back and forth about whether Obama meant roads and bridges or businesses, but the fact of the matter is that every large scale project requires cooperative ventures and those ventures are often government funded. The internet took off because private industries successfully co-opted existing national defense infrastructure and technology. I think Obama is making a fair argument about who benefits most from existing infrastructure and, by consequence, who should pay for the majority of it. Since I've never met a security guard who owns a house, I think it only fair that the company owner pay a bit more for the house he's got and maybe a bit more to help his impoverished employees.
Thu, 2012-07-19 20:53
Cooperative effort? MANY businesses are just one person, the owner. You think business start out hiring 40-50 people? No, it's the owner who is chief cook, bottlewasher, accountant, janitor etc. and the reason he can't hire as many people as he needs is because that Mafia organization. also known as the Feral Gov't, hits him up for it's cut and makes him a deal he "can't refuse". How is that cooperative.?You commies really got this obsession going on with cooperative effort.
Thu, 2012-07-19 19:03
Does Paul Waldman really have such a low opinion of American adults that he thinks they can't watch the actually video of Obama speaking and understand what he said?
Good grief. The arrogance of the limousine elite is endless.
I'm sorry Paul, but President Obama stepped new deep into it. You should at least pay the most powerful man in the world the courtesy of taking him at his word. He is now completely out of the closet as an card carrying enemy of free enterprise. I thought you would rejoice?
Thu, 2012-07-19 18:52
Obama's acolytes and sycophants seem to always be trying to explain "what he really said." Happens all the time. Now he said what he said, but of course anyone but a stupid, knuckle-dragging moron of a Republican knows that's not really what he said. Well, to put a slightly finer point on it, that's not really what he meant. The problem with Obama is that when he wanders off from his teleprompter he is like a loaded gun -- and his flunkies run for cover. This latest attempt at trying to turn the tables is just really, really funny. Poor guy. Even his flacks have run out of excuses.

Oh Please..Obama is the worst president this country has ever had the misfortune to elect..He got off TelePrompTer and told his "truth." and now had galvanized Romney and the GOP..This is a turning point and has focused the election..do we want an entrepreneurial country based on principal of free enterprise or a continuing bankrupt european socialist country...It no surprise that people are turning against Obama..when July's job Report show less than 50000 jobs created or even less his slide tuRn into a collapse..His snide lying attacks on Romney, his lack of interest in meeting his own Jobs council because of a "full plate"..of golf, Oprah interviews, fundraisers, and pick-up basketball games at the WH..is now being fully reveled despite the cover-up of the so-called mainstream media to the growing disgust of the American people..Come November he will be swept from office .just what Like happened with the great Jimmy Carter!!

Yes, Obama was referring to roads and bridges when he said, "you didn't build that." In fact, it's blatantly obvious that this is what he was referring to. At least, it's blatantly obvious to anyone who's willfully blind, and willfully stupid. To everyone else, he was saying exactly what it looks like he's saying. That business owners have no claim on anything they've done. Because they didn't build the business that they built. Just like Obama was awarded a Nobel Prize that he didn't earn. That's what "that" means.
Sat, 2012-07-21 08:48
Hmm -- "willfully blind and stupid" sounds like a very good description of people who flatly refuse to read the sentence immediately preceding that one or the one immediately following it. Republicans were furious, and with some justification, when Romney was quoted as saying "I like to fire people," when he was clearly referring in context not to the businesses Bain "managed" (often leaving them with huge debt while walking away with big profits) but to companies with which he does business as a customer. He meant that he likes the existence of competition, because it lets him switch contractors if necessary. We all do. But out of context it does sound as though he meant he liked to put people out of work, and a lot of partisans used the same argument you guys are using. "Even if it's not what he meant in context, it's a Freudian slip that shows what he really thinks." That, of course, is malarkey, and so is this.
Thu, 2012-07-19 20:22
"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen". If there is any lying here is Mr Waldman that telling the wopper! There is no way you can read that quote and interpret "that" means anything other than the business in "If you've got a business"! And then Obama continues making it worse by saying "you didn't make it happen" which clear refers to the "business" again, not to roads and bridges. Maybe if English isn't your native language you can twist the grammar around in another language to make it means something differt like Mr Waldman is trying to do, but Obama's native language, last I heard, was English. So he meant exactly what he said. And if a Harvard Law Professor and President of the United States can't say what he means when he knows tens of millions of people are watching? Well what is he doing in the White House? Gov Romney is right! Obama didn't make a gaffe, he said exactly what he meant, and what he believes. What's odd is you can bet that Mr Waldman and the left who are now trying to backtrack for Obama actually believe exactly what Obama said and meant. That no matter how hard you work you aren't reponsible for your own success. You owe it all to the Government! They just know that Obama's message won't sell!!!!

Parsing the speech will never change the fact that like lizzie warren he is
promoting collectivism over individualism. No matter how many times
his beliefs are revealed the MSM loons don't get it. He wants government
to control production and distribution according to HIS definition of "social
justice". Hasn't anyone on the left read the history of "collectivism" in
Russia, Cuba, China, etc. ? Over 100 million were exterminated under the
imaginary pursuit of "equality". Wake Up America!!!
Thu, 2012-07-19 21:07
This is fun.... Keep twisting your panties in a wad... Obama said what he said. Isnt videotape a beautiful thing. "that" was clearly about the business, not what government creates. Now I know why Obama's staff had those teleprompters mitten clipped to his suit jackets (oh look I made a funny ...."mitten" clip) . This was such insight into how government centric Obama's worldview is and how little respect he has for the private sector. Its also why businesses that have capital are holding onto it for dear life until Romney gets into the White House. I cant wait!!

This article shows both the lack of intelligence and the raw deceit that the left requires to justify their views.
Quote "Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
The phrase "roads and bridges" is plural and the word "business" is singular. He used the singular word "that" and not the plural word "those." If you want to claim that is not what the President meant then you'll also have to suspend simple grammatical rules. An easy feat for the delusional. I am going to guess that most responses will either be name calling or a crtique of my spelling or grammer anything but add
ressing my central point.
Thu, 2012-07-19 21:47
Obama didn't exactly mince his words. Clearly we don't need spin doctors like yourself to go back and put words other than the ones he spoke in his mouth.
Obama thinks private business owes its success to the government. He(and you) should wear that with pride, like a boat anchor around your necks this election cycle.
Thu, 2012-07-19 21:34
Talk about lying and deceiving! WOW! I have listened to Obama's speech multiple times. The overall context of his speech is that he is talking about raising taxes on the rich, which includes the entrepreneurs and small business people. He was talking about their businesses and how they "did not build that." This Guy Waldman, in order to find out a way out for Obama comes out and says "that" is referring to bridges and roads. The problem with that is that not only Obama, but Elizabeth Warren and Patty Murray gave just about the same speech that Obama made. All three of them were talking about those entrepreneurs having not building their businesses but owing to teachers, etc ... that is, owing to the government. That is the gist of it. All the distorting on the explanation do not change the fact. Waldman, you ought to be ashamed for lying like this!
Thu, 2012-07-19 21:46
What planet are you on? No matter how you try to spin Obama's comments, he has totally dissed business. Did he mean that businesses didn't build roads.. who cares? They they did build roads, as the people pay taxes which build the roads.
But I don't think that is what he meant, and especially if you look at the prior paragraph, which shows he has no regard for the part that brains and hard work play in making it.
I am a poker player.. you need skills and luck, with emphasis on the luck.. we can't prescribe people's lives, as much as you think government should. BTW, FOX news played the clip in its entirety,, each and every time I heard it.. but you think everyone but yourself is ignorant... a typical liberal who thinks he is the only one who ever has it right.
Thu, 2012-07-19 22:35
Obama was being rather professorial imho. The notion of a business is an abstract construct, a legal entity that you can only 'build' by virtue of there being a legal infrastructure. Yes you can claim you built the business, but did you build the entire legal system that allowed you to do it? Did you guarantee the rights of commerce and exchange etc? What of the workers and customers - would they have been there to support you without contracts? So perhaps a professorial moment. It does not make a pretty soundbite though, obtuse as it is. It is funny that he was actually trying to dumb things down, and ended up providing fodder to the opposition instead. Some things just can't be broken down into simple terms.
Thu, 2012-07-19 22:37
What Obama actually said is - he slipped up and said what he believes, for a change. Government is everything, people are nothing. It makes sense when you consider that Obama is nothing. Never done anything, never built anything, never ran a business or met a payroll. He is a fictional creation of the media, a void. That's why he's the perfect totalitarian dictator.
Thu, 2012-07-19 22:40
Clinton brought us what the meaning of "is" is, and now Obama is bringing us what the meaning of "that" is.
When you have to redefine the meaning of everyday words, you've probably already lost on the issue at hand. Accept the loss, walk back the comment, and move on to the next issue.

Yeah, this is just spin. While I agree that it is possible to speculate that Obama meant "bridges and roads" by "that," it is anything but "obvious," for all the grammatical reasons cited, but also because of the entirety of the speech, in which Obama does reveal a sense that a larger, richer federal government is a necessary condition for Americans to enjoy success in their business endeavors large and small. Not just "a" government, but government of the size and powers Obama has been seeking since 2009.
This is a very debatable point, and is really the hinge of the election. Romney thinks business has been sluggish to bounce back in part because excessive government is in its way. Obama thinks business has been slow to bounce back because government is too small and not sufficiently funded by the rich. He sees business as an outgrowth of a strong government.
Romney is not saying "no government" as Obama in a kind of adolescent way implies. But he does want to pare it back, and Obama wants to grow it. That's the debate, and Obama has probably made the clearest and most deliberate presentation of his side of the debate with this speech.
I think, rather than trying to recast his words as something else, it's time to work up a defense of them. They are the essence of the man.

'Solyndra versus Staples.'
Over a half billion Taxpayer dollars down the drain vs. $Billions in Wealth Creating Self-Sustaining Jobs that'll last a lifetime.
Failure vs. Success. Give Obama a trophy so he feels good about himself and let someone who actually knows how to create jobs and wealth for all lead.
When you start rewarding losers and failures, you end up with Obama and total unemployment.
Fri, 2012-07-20 00:41
Though I believe Obama's ideology is revealed in his Roanoke speech, for the sake of discussion I will concede to view of his reference to "that".
People the world over for 200 plus years have viewed and continue to view America as an anomaly in the world; they want to visit America; they want to live in America; they want the liberty and opportunity America offers; they violate our borders to get here.
Question: Do they not have roads and bridges, infrastructure, in their homelands?

Say whatever you want, I know what I heard come out of the President's mouth. It really can't be explained away as a gaffe. Up till now I had been keeping an open mind about the election. His performance in VA has changed all of that. I am a self made man. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps with nobody's help. I put in the sweat to get my degree, not the State. Even then, I would do a semester's worth of work in a matter of days. I wound up tutoring others cause of all the spare time I had. I taught myself how to drive, swim and do it on my own. U may wonder why i even mention these mundane things. Cause it was my own motivation to do it. I did not have a great teacher or mentor to help me get where I wanted to go, I did that myself. Most of my Professors did not like me cause I challenged thrm on their beliefs and teaching methods. Enuff. Believe I'll go see what the Tea Party is all about. Seems like my values and their's are more aligned than the President's ideaology. I believe in the individual, the self reliant and independent person that can and do make it on their own. I have no doubt I'm gonna get ripped apart for my beliefs and take on the President's speech. So be it. No one can stop me from exercising my God given right to express myself at the ballot box. If the President was more like Bill Clinton, I would probaly vote for him, but not the current resident of the White House. Btw, I am an Independent voter, not some acolyte of either party. I do my own thinking.

Sure you did. Sure. Come on, even Ayn Rand accepted both Social Security and Medicare when she was old and sick with cancer. Unless you lived your entire life on a desert island you got help from others, both individuals and institutions. You're just to arrogant and full of yourself to admit it.
Rick Black Sr
Fri, 2012-07-20 22:16
Not arrogant, just the opposite. My hard upbringing made me humble realizing what kind of effort was involved to get to were I wanted to be in life. I never had help from the Government till I became Disabled. At which point I collected on all the work quarters I put in and my Medicare. Those things I paid into. No one just gave them to me. I earned them by the sweat of my brow. Charity is fine for those who need it, I don't. I pay my way in the world with the accrued benefits that I have accumulated in my working life. No, no man is an island, true enuff. But that being said, it is still the individual that moves this country, not the Government or ideaology. It has always been the business world that leads us out of business cycles that were in a downturn, not the policies of Federal governemnt. Yes, they can provide assisstance, but not the spark. That is provided by individuals making their own decisions on how to proceed forward. The drive to succeed and excell has always been in the domain of the person who wishes to improve his condition. Unber Government control, most societies do not have people who invent products. Just look at the history of Statist regimes such as the old Soviet system and China very little in the way of innovation got accomplished there. Compare that to the spirit of a free people such as us Americans. We always beat them at that. Hands down. No amount of Progressive revisionist of history can change that. I lived thru that era, I know. I stand by what I wwrote earlier, I am a self made man and damn proud of it. Once upon a time, most men were. Unfortunately, that time seems to have past. Now, according to our President, if you succeed, you owe to everyone but yourself. A sad commentary on how far our values and Principles have fallen in modern times. I realize I am among the last of a dying breed. A man who is self made without the help of others. My Grandfather is the only one I credit with being who I am today. For he was the same way. He also taught me to be a Libertarian, a free thinker not beholden to any ideaology but freedom. Reason why I am an Independent voter. I owe my loyalty to no one but my conscience.

Oh please. Who built the schools you attended? Whose taxes paid for them? Did you really learn nothing from your teachers, but taught everything to yourself? In that case, why couldn't you have stayed home? And you admit that you accepted disability payments -- do you really think every penny of those payments came from your taxes and no one else's? Of course creativity has to come from the private sector, but it can't thrive without the infrastructure and the social stability that only government can provide. And the "once upon a time" that you reminisce about never existed. Detroit didn't become the center of the auto industry because Henry Ford, all by himself, thought of the assembly line. Creative things happen when a group of people get together in one place to work toward a common goal, maybe as competitors, maybe as colleagues. My husband spent his career as an engineer in the auto industry and I've often heard him say that a company without a large, thriving R&D department is doomed. You need a lot of people brainstorming, experimenting, refining one another's ideas, and building on each other's work. Have you ever seen a patent with just one person's name on it? Not for any really important new product, you didn't!
Creativity comes from group effort, even if that group has to include a lot of talented, imaginative individuals. That was true in 5th century Athens, 20th century Detroit and Silicon Valley, and contemporary China, which in case you hadn't noticed is kicking our butts. If you want to know what unfettered, totally individualistic free enterprise looks like, don't look at any period in American history, except maybe for the Gilded Age when the robber barons were dynamiting each other's railroads in the name of free competition. Go to Colombia and look at the narcolords. The government can't control them, and so they have for all practical purposes become the government. Ask the Colombian people how "free" that makes them.

I have tried reasoning with you and to no avail. You seem to have the same atitude as our President that somehow I owe the Governmet for my success, I don't in any way shape or form. I owe it to myslef and no. Cause I'm the one that took it upon myself to get self educated and make my way in the world. I was permanenty booted from public school in the 9th grade due to nonconformity. I found out the hard way that teachers and those in authority don't like to be challenged on their beliefs and teaching methods. So I bought books and educated myslef. Did well enuff to get my GED and go on to college. I graduated from there with a 3.9GPA. I've already stipulated what happened there in a prior post. I worked my way thru college so I would not have any student loans to repay. Grants I accepted, but not loans. The problem is that I am the product of Depression era Grandparents. I reflect the values and beliefs that they had. Most of which was formed during the Depression when they were very young adults. I'll reiterate that I am the among the last of a dying breed. I have 3 sons that I am teaching them the same thing. Cause of the dumbing down of our schools, I home school my kids. I want them to be knowledgable about the world and not beholden to any ideaology, especially Statist ideaology. I've given up on any further education in institutuions of higher learning due to prevalence of Liberal orthodoxy. If you don't conform to their ideaology, u get flunked nowadays. But I am severly digressing. lol Back to your point about things being done collectively. I will forever maintain that the individual and family are the backbone of this country and that individuals in paticular are responsible for most of the inventions in our country. I fear we may never agree on this difference between us. It is to fundamental. I have no doubt that you are much younger than me. Your style of writing and the way you say it indicates that, to me. My own experiences and upbringing are appearently vastly different than yours. By the way, the government is the servant of we the people, not the other way around. Roads and such were paid for with my taxes along with everyone's else. Since all that is paid for by individuals that argument does not wash with me. Even corps and businesses are individualistic in nature. I do not believe in the collective and never will. Life has taught me different. Now if I could just type I would be doing fine. lol Since we cannot agree on even the most basic tenets, this 'll be my last post. It's far easier to ignore and not associate with those who are adamant about having a society where they believe they owe their existence to a monolithic government entity. This difference is on display everyday in the media and all around our society. I sometimes wondder if it would be better if the countyr was not divided into two parts to accomodate those that want a Statist, Collectivist, Progressive, Liberal way of life and those that still believe in the Constitution and the individual. In the end it will not matter, it'll be the nonwhite minorities that'll be running this country. That in itself will be the undoing of this great nation. Is that a racist comment? Let me illuminate. THe browning of the world is inevitable, I know this. I follow the demographics. That is not bothers me, it's the value systems and beliefs I have trouble with. We will not remain a nation united much longer. Anti freedom forces are hard at work to Balkinize the USA. Our homogenity is gone. With it goes our national identity. Enuff. I'm done. No matter what I say, it'll be ridulculed by those that want to make serfs out of the rest of us. Good luck on your vision of what society should be and how you credit that success. Just remember this, there are more of us out there that think like I do at the moment. If you wait another 25-30 years, you'll get that thinking of yours into the mainstream of the American psyche. Once my kind pass on, you'll have a free hand. I'll check your reply but no more posts from me on this matter. Beating my head against the wall of ignorance can take a lot out of a guy. lol

Obama's comments DENY individual achievement! So, no human has ever actually climbed Mt Everest. His logic/ideology wouldn't allow that Edmund Hillary could have done it; "someone" else, God maybe, put that mountain there, put the snow and ice on it, wreaks the raw weather on it........yeah, Hillary didn't do that, and if he didn't another human probably couldn't so only God has ever climbed Everest.
The president is very spiritual.

".........I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." Barack Hussein Obama (His Holiness) , April 2010.
Why has it never been demanded of him what that "certain point" is? Has his buddy Warren Buffet who feels guilty about his secretary's taxes versus his own reached that "certain point". Bill Gates? What are Obama's qualifications, besides "I won", to make such a proclamation that limits my freedom. When you reach that "certain point" in income, say $500,000, does the government just confiscate any amount over that? How would that work?
When are we going to stop making excuses for this man who sees government, not the individual free to aspire to his dreams with his own efforts, as the core of America. He thinks government "first" and our purpose in society is to sustain government "first"!
Fri, 2012-07-20 11:51
Frank M.
If you read his speech in its entirety you will see that he starts talking about a great "system" of which roads and bridges are a part. Therefore "that" is appropriate. Hate does not allow one to be reasonable in their arguements when it means losing a chance to paint your enemy as different. No man is an island, no matter how you try to make it so. Without roads and bridges how would you sell your pizza--carryout or delivery both take roads.
The midddle class was built with people working as firemen, policemen, teachers, and construction workers. Romney and crew has been shedding these jobs (on purpose to keep unemployment high no matter how many private sector jobs are created) since day one of this administration. Despite the fact that President Obama has created 40% more rivate sector jobs in his 3.5 years than President Bush did in 7.5 years, shedding public service jobs will keep the unemployment number high. If republicans would take their thumb off the scale and stop caring only abot their party and put country first by providing a little help with public service jobs ( like all four previous presidents received, check the facts) unemployment would be much lower, the economy would rebound and Romney would have to run on his record (Bain and taxes included) and tell us specifically what he has to offer.

Individuals are who built this country, not the Government. Thanks to our unique Constitution, the creativity of man was unleashed by that freedom granting document. Unemcumbered by Statist ideaology. That came later with the writings of Karl Marx and Engels. Ever since, the Collectivists have tried to reign in the spirit of man by having absolute control over every aspect of their lives. The Progressives seem to be no different, I'm afraid. I'm not talking about Communism but all ideaology that impairs man's ability to freely express and exercise his judgement in his daily affairs. This President seems hell bent on bending the will of the people to his way of thinking. Even going after them if they make contributions to those he opposes. I saw this same play under Nixon back in the early 70's. One other thing, all those you quoted as being middle class are not the only people to be so. The one's you stated are mostly all affiliated with Unions. Unions make up only a very small percentage of what constitutes a middle class. The only reason that they are middle class is cause they fleece the public coffers at the exspense of the taxpayer, with the help of either incompetent or gullible politicians. Romney is never gonna be my first choice for President. But at least he will encourage economic growth over economic fairness. That in itself will get the country moving in the right direction again. Both parties are guilty of putting their ideaology ahead of what is best for the people and country, so that argument don't wash with me. We get worked over by both parties, atm. So voting for someone to be President is a choice of picking between the lesser of two evils, unfortunately. I would prefer a third party candidate so we at least have more options. A viable third party, not what we have had in the past 40 years that passes itself off as a third party from time to time.

Tom Genin--
How about Hong Kong-based Global-Tech Appliances vs. the Auto Industry
Global-Tech came into existence solely to profit on outsourcing American jobs from companies like, "Sunbeam, Hamilton Beach, Mr. Coffee, Proctor-Silex, Revlon, and Vidal Sassoon, and its chief exec was hoping for more outsourcing from these and other American firms" (Corn, 2012). Romney has consistently built his campaign on lies—intentionally misleading the American people. He wants to take credit for Staples even after his retroactive retirement from Bain, but not for the outsourcing he claims happened after 1998. Well outsourcing under Romney started way before 1998, as evidenced by Corn, 2012). I have read of cases he was called out on publically as far back as 1994. In one specific case he even sent a fax to a victim who spoke out publically against him, blaming unions, stating he was sorry the union could not reach an agreement to prevent job loss. He also stated he was on a leave of absence during this entire period of time—sound familiar? Romney seems to conveniently be on leave of absence whenever he wants to avoid controversial events.
Conversely, the President saved countless American jobs in various industries by saving the auto industry. Romney said let Detroit go bankrupt! There is a fundamental difference in these two candidates. I admire people that make it on their own, and I strive to be like them, however not at the expense of community. It is simply greed to want to outsource to make as much as you can while turning your back on those trying to make it. I don't want to live in a country where only the strong survive, especially when the strong are only the one percent.

I knew I would find something to explain better than I have--
How many small businesses have counted on small business loans? So it takes a collaborative effort--the owners innovative ideas and sometimes some type of community support to lead to success.

Pretty sad that Prospect has become a temp stenographer for the WH.
Romney & Bain invested in companies like Staples among others that expanded those businesses. They created more and more jobs all with PRIVATE money.
Obama gave TAX PAYER money to cronies like Kaiser from Solyndra that went belly up... But made sure to restructure the loan @ the last minute to make sure Kaiser got paid back first.
Does Prospect REALLY want to compare Mitt's investments with Obama's cronie capitalism?

This notion that it's possible to be a "self-made" businessman who does it all himself without any help from anyone (not even a corporate lawyer? Not even a professional accountant? Not even the system of American contract law that makes the existence of your business possible?) would be commendable in a four year old who has just learned to tie his shoes. In an adult, it's pathetic.

Lamp on Separate Pricket Stand
This lamp combines a number of seemingly discrete elements. A stand with a tripod base supports a cross that in turn holds up a lamp. The lamp has a seashell-shaped cover and a ring handle on top of which is another cross.
This Christian lamp includes the common shell decoration found on the fountain depicted in the Jewish mosaic from the Naro synagogue. The same motif is also found on many Jewish tombs in Rome and ultimately derives from the seashell that bore the Greek goddess Aphrodite.

This is my passion," says Murthy V. S. Andavolu, MD, a Board Certified Medical Oncologist in solo practice in Rancho Mirage, referring to cancer care. "Cancer is something that cannot always be completely cured, but the patient can be cared for. And there are so many issues involved in cancer care. It's not just science and technology; there also are psychological, emotional and philosophical issues. It's a unique combination of art and science, and that's what attracts me to this field." Dr. Andavolu attended medical school at Osmania University in his native India. He completed his residency at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, and a fellowship in oncology/hematology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he still teaches.
He notes that oncology is the fastest growing medical field, thanks to innovations in research, particularly genetic research, which is not only one of his main interests, but also his wife's profession (please see sidebar). "Our professions are a good complement, " and take up a major portion of our time." In addition to his busy clinical practice, Dr. Andavolu's office serves as a study site for clinical trials. He is particularly interested in lung and breast cancers.
When Dr. Andavolu isn't working, his eight-year-old daughter is the "most favorite, important and exciting thing in my life," he says proudly. "We want to make sure she matures into a thoughtful and astute person, that she understands how to think and analyze. I've always enjoyed teaching; I want her to have creative ways of thinking and learning."
Science Is All in the Family: Radhika Gade-Andavolu, PhD You don't see patients in this Dr. Andavolu's office. But the potential impact of her work on patient care is remarkable. Dr. Radhika Andavolu, a molecular biologist at the Genetic Research Institute of the Desert (GRID) in the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center, undertakes research that could not only reveal an individual's risk of developing cancer and other diseases, but also aid in development of preventive and therapeutic strategies tailored to that person's unique genetic makeup. "We recently found five genes associated with non-familial breast cancer, which accounts for more than 95 percent of breast cancer cases," she says. She is also the lead author in a study recently published in "Genetics in Medicine" in which a gene associated with early death in multiple sclerosis was identified. Dr. Andavolu's interest in genetic research was piqued in her native India where, until about a generation ago, marriage between cousins was permitted. She earned her PhD in India, and did her post-doctoral work at the City of Hope in Duarte, California, where she became a resident scientist before coming to the desert. Her penchant for developing her skills has only increased after coming to the desert, resulting in her obtaining a Master's degree in Business Administration, which also helped her in directing the management of GRID. Her early focus was on neuropsychiatric genetics, but after marrying her husband eight years ago, her work has evolved to oncology. "Our work goes hand-in-hand," she says.

|Rabbi Shoshana Ohriner
Master of Parve Desserts!
KosherEye "Foodie" Friend
Most kosher cooks, at least the ones we know, are always looking for the "next" great parve (non-dairy) dessert recipe; either to serve after a meat meal – or just to serve. We were excited when we met someone who loves to create, and prepare, parve dessert items.
Rabbi Shoshana Ohriner is a very unique person; she feeds both the soul and the body and as she told KosherEye, "it is really the same." A conservative rabbi, Rabbi Ohriner is a hospital Chaplain, and lives in New York with her husband and son. She describes herself as having a love of baking and a passion for confectionary arts.
Growing up in California, her family loved to cook and Rabbi Ohriner's interest in baking started when she was in college. Her incentive to start baking – the terrible parve desserts that were served at many social functions she attended. "I began to experiment with new ingredients and methods to stretch the limits of parve baking, while still using natural ingredients."
With no formal training, (she did take several recreational baking classes at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City), the results of stretching the limits of parve baking are very impressive. Rabbi Ohriner has a repertoire of many traditional and non-traditional recipes that will impress family and friends. Whatever the reason a person has for avoiding dairy, she believes that no one should have to sacrifice good taste to achieve those goals, especially when it comes to dessert. She is currently moving towards using as many natural ingredients as possible in her recipes, and is reworking some of her older recipes to use oil or natural margarine, such as Earth Balance.
KosherEye asked Rabbi Shoshana Ohriner several questions:
What is your very favorite parve dessert recipe?
What Passover parve dessert recipes do you make every year?
Rabbi Ohriner has created three wonderful Passover recipes for KosherEye: Frozen Strawberry Parfait with Basil Meringues, Coconut Panna Cotta with Lime Curd and Flourless Chocolate-Hazelnut Cookies. You are in for a treat!
To share her excitement for parve desserts, Rabbi Ohriner has created an online website, Couldn't Be Parve. Please visit her and enjoy her wonderful recipes.

This week wasn't the the Stig's first outing with the ST1. He once mysteriously arrived in the desert with a herd of camels to have a go in the no-nonsense Nordic supercar. But getting the the 6.8-litre, 1,104bhp, 233mph four-wheeled Stig look-alike back to the track in Blighty has taken a while.
Gallery: Stig and the Zenvo ST1
More pics of our tame racing driver's time with the great Dane
But after a few mechanical issues, and quite a large fire, this week was the self-immolating supercar's time to shine.
Unfortunately, no one told Mother Nature about our plans, as she tried her hardest to make sure it wasn't easy for the Stig.
What Mother Nature didn't know, is that our man in the white suit doesn't know what weather is. Even so, as you can see from the pics, keeping a twin-charged, rear-wheel-drive, 1000+ horsepower on the straight and narrow is a little tricky. And if you've watched the show, you'll know that this was reflected in its time...
