Obama Hits Mitt Where It Hurts
The latest advertisement from the Obama campaign—which will air in Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia—is, so far, the most important one of the president's re-election effort. Take a look:
This is a brutal attack on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, and far more effective than anything launched by the former Massachusetts governor's Republican opponents in the GOP primary. The workers are given space to speak for themselves, and the result is a focus on the human toll of Romney's career. The ad insinuates that this is what a Romney presidency has in store for America. When coupled with continued emphasis on Romney's opposition to the auto bailouts, it presents Romney as a cold, cruel plutocrat.
Here's why this is crucial. If President Obama has built his" brand" around honesty and likeability, then Mitt Romney is trying to center his on competence; you may not like the former Massachusetts governor—you may not even trust him—but you know that he can fix the United States, and turn around the ship. It's why he focuses so heavily on his career in venture capitalism, and why—as Politico describes—this morning, the Romney campaign is devoted to "steadily building up Romney as a safe and competent alternative to President Barack Obama."
Indeed, the idea that Romney is competent is key to building a perception of moderation for the GOP nominee. In American politics—or at least, the coverage thereof—"moderation" is tied to affect. In truth, Howard Dean was a left-leaning centrist, but his loud opposition to George W. Bush made him an "extremist." On the other end, Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan wants to drastically reshape government with low taxes on the wealthy, and deep cuts to programs for the poor, sick, and infirm. But because of his affable, wonkish persona, he's perceived as a mainstream figure, despite how radical his agenda is. Romney is on the Paul Ryan side of the ledger, with a budget plan that would shred the social safety net. He needs voters to see him as a reasonable and competent steward of their affairs, and not as a stalking horse for the right-wing.
The Obama ad (and its corresponding website, Romneyeconomics.com) is a direct attack on Romney's competence. In much the same way as Karl Rove, the campaign is trying to turn Romney's strength—his private-sector experience—into a weakness. "Yes, Governor Romney was a skilled generator of wealth, but he did so at the cost of families like yours. Just imagine what he'll do in the White House." The Romney campaign has been trying to do the same to the president—and may well succeed—but for now, it's a half-step when compared to this effort.
The good news for Romney is that voters are willing to accept his claim to competence. In the most recent survey from Pew, Romney wins 48 percent of those who say that jobs are the most important issue in this election. Likewise, according to Gallup, 61 percent say that Romney would do a "good or very good job" of handling the economy if elected president.
The bad news, however, is that Obama has space for his message; according to NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, 71 percent say that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who says "America is better off when everyone gets a fair shot, does their fair share, and plays by the same rules," and 76 percent say that they are more likely to vote for someone who promises to "fight for balance and fairness and encourage the investments needed to grow our economy and strengthen the middle class." This is the core of Obama's message, and one of the themes highlighted in his attack on Bain Capital.
The last time Romney was in a close election with a formidable opponent, Bain Capital proved to be the decisive factor in his defeat. I doubt will see a repeat of that, but even still, the Romney campaign can't be happy about Obama's compelling attack on the governor's most vital asset.

That is an incredibly impactful political ad and it sums up what this presidential race is all about economically. The question is whether or not working and middle class Americans will hear this message or continue to vote against their own interests. President Obama needs to hit Mitt Romney and hit him hard with his so-called "business experience." This ad is a good start.

Sorry to have to wake you up from your nap, Mitt Romney's "so-called business experience", Ha - as opposed to what that O has to offer? The problem with your fearless leader is that he is so full of himself, that he even ignores sound advise from his apostles - do you realize that 800 000 democrats, including me, have defected? The O led progressive socialists are not out to benefit anyone but themselves. There will be no middle class - just masters and servants. Internal polling has already shown team O they are going to loose, they are just raking in cash while the going is good, and will leave well-meaning, ordinary people (like you) holding the bag. Ask yourself why any person running for office would run off at the mouth about an issue near and dear to the hearts of a bunch of rich fatcats who are about to be fleeced, when it is absolutely obvious that it will allianate a large group of voters. 67% of Americans understand that O's "transformation" was a cash deal, at the expense of political support in NC.

Obama is not "dumping" mandates on businesses. Other than healthcare, what mandates are you talking about? I know the answer - you don't know but you are repeating a talking point handed to you by the GOP.
It appears that you and a lot of republicans have forgotten what it was like under George W Bush - you have amnesia. But I will remind you that in the year prior to George leaving office in January 2009, over 750,000 per month were losing their jobs. And if the republicans had been willing to work with the democrats in congress to bring jobs in fixing and building roads and bridges, we would have more jobs. But, their #1 priority was getting rid of Obama because he's not a republican and doesn't promise to keep cutting taxes and cutting everything that helps poor people. I wouldn't want to be a republican because they are all so hateful and greedy..
Wed, 2012-05-16 19:51
Do you have any idea what Obamacare has done to healthcare costs for business? I'll explain. Our company healthcare costs have gone up by nearly 50%. We also can no longer provide the plan that we had and our employees liked. But the cost of doing business has gone way up. I could also mention other stupid regulations that Obama has put in place (like the fact that we have to pay for posters that tell our employees they have the right to form a union).
Wed, 2012-05-16 23:44
Yeah fixing roads and bridges creates jobs. Are you crazy? Do you know where the money comes from to fix the roads and bridges? From taxpayers.
Last time I looked we are out of money to feed Obamas political trough. How about letting business expand, creating jobs by the private sector, expanding the economy and providing the government with more revenue to fix the bridges/.

You need a new brain. Try and get one that actually thinks next time.
Debt by 43 Presidents combined from 1789 – 2009 = $6.3 Trillion. All by himself Obama first 3.5 years he ran up debts of $6.477 Trillion. Don't forget the DEBT down grade under Obama and rumor of another one coming.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
"Under Obama, we have created NET almost 4.5 MILLION new private-sector jobs..."
Um, right.
Check the BLS stats, stupid. So far, under Obama, we have LOST a net of over 7 MILLION private, non-farm jobs since 2008.
Avg. Goods Producing Employment for 2008: 136,790,000.
Avg. Goods Producing Employment for 2011: 131,359,000.
Difference (Goods Producing Employment): -5,431,000
Avg. Service Providing Employment (not including Govt employment) for 2008: 92,947,000.
Avg. Service Providing Employment (not including Govt employment) for 2011: 91,234,000.
Difference (Service Providing Employment): - 1,713,000
Total Private Employment Difference from since the end of 2008: -7,144,000.
(per the BLS: ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.ceseeb1.txt)
Read it and weep. Gee, looks like a NET negative number to me! Your Obamanomics in action!
But then "stats" to liberals have always been whatever random number they can pull out of their @ss to justify their point!
Next time, do some research & post your sources, junior.
Wed, 2012-05-16 18:50
I would caution people to recall those presidents who had the so-called "business experience" who have made their own place in history. The most memorable one of course is "Herbert Hoover" - father of the Great Depression. Then, there was "George W Bush", the father of the Great Recession.
Need I say more? The government is NOT a business. And Corporations are NOT people.

Jamelle --
You are dumber than a fence post. This steel company was near bankruptcy when Bain acquired it, when no one else would provide ANY kind of financing. Bain invested in this company for 10 years, giving these employees work for 10 years longer than they would have had, if Bain hadn't stepped in. Over the years, Bain has rescued over 75% of the near bankrupty companies they have invested in, and lost on the other 25%. It is only in a socialist state that no company fails, but then the whole economy fails. My good friend Aleks, from Moscow Russia, told me that in the USSR one of their favorite jokes was that the USSR pretended that it had no unemployment (as it propped up one failing enterprise after another, a Solyndra loser on every corner), and that the workers pretended to work. In capitalism, it is Darwinism and you have to bust your butt to stay alive. Over 50% of all steel companies failed during that 10 years, but Bain kept this company going for 10 years long, and kept those jobs going 10 years longer, than without Bain's investment. Why not examine all sides of a question, before producing tripe like your article. Nobody in the Obama administration has a clue about how the private sector works. Their ads reflect either stupidity or dishonesty, and the polls show that Obama's amateur throw-good-money-after-his-pet-projects-that-fail are not fooling everyone -- but I can see that it has fooled you.

The only people that are buying into this cherrypicked negative story are those already in the tank for Obama. Obama wishes he had the 78% success rate that Mitt had at Bain - Romney is the turn around king - of businesses,of a state $3B in the hole and of the Olympics. He was the cream of the crop at Bain, the cream of the crop of private equity - an industry that Obama claims he has no problem with and certainly has no problem taking money from. And to be accurate - Romney left the day to day of Bain TWO YEARS before this steel company went under - and the person running things at Bain at the time... an OBama supporter. And for a moment lets consider that the entire steel industry was collapsing b/c they couldnt compete with Chinese product b/c of expense (read union) labor costs. Lame stories like this do the heart of this Romney supporter good as it shows how desperate the Obama campaign is, and how sad the straws are that they have to grasp onto to try to deflect the story from the horrid Obama economy.

It totally sucks that this ad is about a deal that happened when Romney was up to his eyeballs in the Olympics, and anyone who pays attention to anything will soon know that, and yet we have THIS ad. Why didn't they pick a deal that was done when he was there, this was a swing and a miss, unfortunately easily discredited, and now any ad that follows, though will be tainted by this crap. To whoever ultimately decided to go with this ad.....C'mon Man!!!!!! (or woman)
Wed, 2012-05-16 16:02
Nice try Jamelle, but no cigar. The ad is misleading - voters rejected Newt Gingrich in the primaries when he started playing this card, and there is no reason to believe it will have a different effect, except maybe in the black community, which is also not guaranteed, based on the speed at which Obama is making himself unpopular, even with his staunchest supporters. Writing this kind of biased - party political drivel - do you fully comprehend the extent of damage this administration has inflicted upon the average American, as a result of its reckless spending and a dispassionate approach to the problems facing everyday Americans? No, Barrack Obama is not the Messiah just now returned to earth, he is just another Chicago politician, shaking down the donors before he goes down in the election. Rather than worrying about Romney, who obviously has this election clinched, i'd keep my eye on the money team O is raking in.

Romney and Bain Capital steel jobs (net jobs) => GST lost 750 jobs. Steel Dynamics created > 6000. That is a net job creation of over 5000 jobs in the steel industry.
Not only did Bain keep GST steel alive for 10 more years (as indicated by rxmcb), but Bain Capital also invested in Steel Dynamics, which was vital to getting Steel Dynamics operating. Now they are operating successfully and profitably . . . with over 6000 employees who have jobs.
Wed, 2012-05-16 16:29
This ad will only impact those too stupid to know it is
complete garbage (in other words, Obama's base.)
Bain invested in this company in 1993. It went
bankrupt in 2001 (2 years after Romney left Bain),
a year in which Bethlehem Steel and 19 other steel
companies went under. Obama is dependent on
stupidity, a 50 year old boyish prank, and absolute
lies and distortions of Romney's exceptional success.
Just put down the KoolAid for a minute and consider
the enormous contribution to the economy that resulted from Romney's 15 years at Bain. Why don't
you check the number of jobs and lost pensions from
Obama's auto "salvation"? The lies will not work no
matter how often Obama and his bots spew them.
Wed, 2012-05-16 19:05
Ooh, a boyish prank. Is that what you call it when an 18-year old bully assaults a defenseless kid? Because he hated his hair and he thought the kid was a homosexual?
There WAS no enormous anything under Romney, except enormous greed and selfish vulture capitalism. THAT has been Romney's pattern for years.
Wed, 2012-05-16 19:40
Apparently you don't do much investigation do you? You prefer to feed off of the main stream media and take everything they say as truth (without doing your own homework). Unfortunately for you, lots of people are actually doing their own fact checking and debunking your parroted media hit pieces.

Here is where we stand. We have a new product that we are developing. When finished, where will we produce it? We are willing to tolerate the US labor costs all by themselves but:
1) The mandates are killers - pretty much doubles the wage.
2) The repeated alphabet of government agencies that we will have to contend with who do not care if we exist or not are not friendly.
So should we produce in the US or outsource to somewhere where they are eager for us to exist?
Of Obama or Romney, which will (hopefully) create a friendly environment where we can produce (and create jobs?
"I'm from the government, I'm here to help (destroy) you.

When all of the companies are gone (driven out by ridiculous regulations), you can have fun implementing all of your silly, industry destructive regulations. But my guess is the US consumers will always want to buy the best quality products at the lowest prices.
The "jerk" that you are arguing with just wants to run a successful business. What's wrong with that? The problem with you and Obama is that you don't understand the competitive international market that we live in.

"This is a brutal attack on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital"
No it's not. Romney left Bain 2 years before GST filed for bankruptcy, so this really has nothing to do with Romney.
GST was already slated to file bankruptcy. Bain bought it with the hope it could be saved. For 5 years Bain poured millions of dollars into GST trying to make it viable. When Romeny left Bain they were still trying to make GST viable. Two years after Romeny left Bain it was determined that GST could not be saved and it filed for bankruptcy. Having practiced bankruptcy law for the last 30 years, I can tell you that it was the Court, not Bain Capital, that decided how the workers were treated after GST went under.
The idea that this video has anything to do with Romney's record at Bain Capital is obviously a lie. Only uninformed people will believe that lie.
If you want to know how Romney did at Bain Capital, why don't you do a story on SDI, another steel company that today employs over 6,000 people? You can start here http://www.wane.com/dpp/news/local/chair-sdi-owes-a-lot-to-romney-company
If you and other Obama supporters keep lying to the American people like this, Obama is really going to lose in November. Keep it up!!!

I do know for a fact exactly what Romney said about the auto industry. And now he has been trying to walk backwards. He would have sent it into bankruptcy and all those auto industry jobs as well as all the suppliers would have been lost. The guy should run businesses and not the government. He apparently took a lot from those companies he ran in and that is clearly indicated by the amount he gets annually from his "Swiss and Cayman Islands" funds.
Wed, 2012-05-16 23:48
The problem here is that the average American knows nothing of what a company like Bain Capital does. They know nothing about investing or how a company operates. They know nothing about tax structure and why or how a company may not pay taxes in a certain year. They have no idea what Capital Gains is. They do not know the truth of why a company does business overseas. They know nothing more than who has won on "Dancing with the Stars" or what "Judge Judy" had to say today.
This gives Obama a great advantage as he knows he can continue to lie to 50% of the people who are not on the dole. He does not have to convince the other half to vote for him. they are already bought.
When the hardworking people of this country are fed up with the insults directed at them by this President those who can will leave and those who can't will just give up and take the free ride. Then you have socialism, Obama's dream.
Wed, 2012-05-16 17:51
This ad is precisely why Obama is in trouble. This steel mill was shut two years AFTER Romney left Bain. Imagine someone trying to hold you responsible for something that a company did two years after you left that company. Not only is it absurd but you would probably regard those trying to cast blame as quite dim, as well as those that would follow that lead.

..."hit Mitt where it hurts" - What?
Now lets talk how under Obama's leadership we have had 38 consecutive months of 8% unemployment, more people in poverty than in the last 53 years, more people on food stamps ever, the greatest budget deficit in history, and gas prices still around $4.
Ouch, that gotta hurt Obama.
Wed, 2012-05-16 19:23
Yes, let's talk about how Obama inherited 10% unemployment, and his policies brought it down by 20% to 8%. Let's talk about over 4 MILLION new, private-sector net jobs created, 26 straight months of positive job growth, renewed employment in US manufacturing for the first time in 20 years, small businesses hiring, big businesses making record profits and posting record gains to bring the DOW from 6800 to 12900 in less than 3 years. Let's DO talk about that, shall we? Liar.
Wed, 2012-05-16 19:35
Exactly what did he say that was a lie? All of his statements were factual.
Here are some more facts for you. In April the number of people not in the labor force rose by a whopping 522,000 from 87,897,000 to
88,419,000. This is the highest on record. The flip side, and the reason why the unemployment dropped to 8.1% is that the labor force participation rate just dipped to a new 30 year low of 64.3%. Thanks to Obama, people have just given up looking for work. So factor those into your misleading statistics.

Wellstone, you're dwelling in an alternate universe. Unemployment was 7.2% when Obama took office. There are now over 4 million less people working than when Obama took office. Obama owns the weakest recovery in the history of this country. This stuff is easy to look up, Wellstone! Try that new thing called Google. Look up labor participation rate. Heck, the debt clock http://www.usdebtclock.org/ will let you look at the numbers from four years ago, and eight years ago. Even an Obamanite should be able to figure this out. Simple stuff! Worst recovery in the history of this nation . . . Obamatar, the created one, should study Reagan.
Under Reagan inflation dropped from over 12% in 1980 to 3.2% in 1984. Real disposable income increased by 18% from 1982 to 1989. During these 7 years of recovery our economy grew by nearly a third. Unemployment fell from a peak of 10.2% to 5.2% in '89. The prime interest rate dropped from 21.5% in '80 to 7.5% in '86. Out of the gate, Reagan deregulated and cut taxes.
Taking a slightly different approach, Obama and crew determined that an 850 billion dollar stimulus package would pave the road to recovery. Hindsight . . . oh, if we had only gone with $2 trillion! :-) The result is that Obama and company now own the worst recovery since the Great Depression. Hey! Did you hear that Mitt Romney held some kid down and cut his hair! Obama 2012! Yeah, right! LOL

And Obama sued Arizona and Alabama . . . killed the Keystone pipeline and the million barrels of Canadian oil it would have brought to the Gulf almost daily. Obama mandated "no drilling" in the Gulf and lost in court twice. Obama is a detriment to this nation, and more and more Americans are figuring it out. In 2008, we chose an American Idol champion, Barack Obama. In November, America will choose Competence over the flashy smile in the empty suit.

Q: I've been working at a repair shop for about six months. Recently, my boss let me start doing some diagnostics, using a diagnostic flow chart as a guide. Unfortunately, my results have been mixed. Are there any books dedicated to diagnosing fault codes? Do you have any suggestions for improving my diagnostic skills? One vehicle that has been in the shop for quite a while is a C4 with a "Throttle Position" code that no one can seem to fix. I would like to repair this car to gain some confidence, but I don't know where to start.
Via email
A: I'm afraid there are very few praiseworthy publications for diagnosing fault codes. Most suggested diagnostic procedures fall into one of three categories, or a combination of the three. The first method involves a step-by-step diagnostic flow chart. Once you have acquired the fault code, this procedure takes you through a series of questions. Each answer directs you to another question, until you reach the most likely cause of the problem. Unfortunately, if you answer even one question incorrectly, you'll end up with the wrong diagnosis, or multiple recommendations.
The second method involves simply replacing the part indicated by the fault code. For example, if the fault in question indicates a throttle-position-sensor problem, just replace the throttle-position sensor.
The third method involves checking the Internet to see what other people have done to repair a similar problem. This is actually a good idea if you use the information you find as a tool, and not your sole troubleshooting source. (Yes, it's true: Not all of the information on the Internet is accurate.)
The problem with the first two methods is that they don't help you learn how a system works. This is evident in other areas of the auto-repair field. For example, when it comes to failures in components such as alternators and starters, many of today's automotive technicians do not know what, precisely, has failed. All they know is that something is wrong, so they replace the part. Older automotive technicians generally know how subcomponents such as alternators and starters work, because when they were younger, they actually rebuilt them. This experience often makes them better at diagnosing problems with such items. Knowledge, after all, is power.
There is a simple solution. Instead of learning how to follow a flow chart, try to learn the theory behind how a system works. Even if you still need to refer to a flow chart for help, knowing how the system you're diagnosing functions will help you understand why you're performing the specific tasks specified in the chart. This will ultimately make you a better technician.
The obvious benefit of this type of learning is that you only need to learn a few basic concepts in order to become proficient.
Research common failures: The first step in this technique is to check for any manufacturer Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). This is also a good time to refer to the Internet to see what other people have done to repair a similar problem. There are also several pay sites that are excellent reference points, such as Alldata and Identifix.
Research how a system works: You'll need to know how the system you are working with is supplied power, and how much. Also, what result is that system is trying to achieve?
Find your jumping off point: This is the point where you begin your diagnostics. The best jumping-off point is the most common failure item, as indicated by your research. By testing this device, you can determine whether it has failed, and which path you'll need to take next.
Perform your diagnostics: Let's begin by taking a look at a few of the sensors the engine controller uses to determine how it should perform in a given situation. A sensor is simply an input device that monitors driver inputs as well as engine temperatures, fuel mixture, and other parameters.

So my main goal with this topic is to share some ideas regarding improving battery efficiency and ROM stability. Also, I pretend to share some of my CM9 self-builds which are supposed to be pretty stable and thoroughly tested. So, here you won't find state-of-the-art builds (like Coldfusion or KonstaT's builds), but builds which are more stock CM9 and patched with (or without) everything possible to make it more battery-wise.
My main motivation is that I am maintaining 3 ZTE Blades in the family: mine, my sister's and my girlfriend's phones. As "my" girls do not understand much about Androids and the like, I need them to have something stable, but also (almost) state-of-the-art.

Q:Will this conditioner help tame frizz?Asked on 6/3/2015 by Ash
1 answer
A:I would probably recommend one of our deeper conditioners, such as Retread! It will add lots of nutrients back to the hair, which will help combat the frizz!Answered on 6/7/2015 by Anonymous
Q:How would i store this if i was traveling. like right after i used it would i need to pat it dry? would i let it sit in the plastic container? and if it sat in the container would it stick to the bottom of it??? i would like to buy this one instead of the jungle since i could get more uses out of itAsked on 5/12/2015 by big vs jungle
3 answers
A:You should pat it dry in-between uses and also let it air dry a bit. If you just stick it right in the container it may stick.Answered on 5/15/2015 by Lana from Lush Direct
A:Honestly, if you're planning to travel with it, I would get Jungle. Jungle fits in their tins, whereas Big Solid doesn't. That is my biggest complaint and that it's not super conditioning.
Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S® 6, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone-------- Original message --------Answered on 5/13/2015 by Anonymous
A:It would defiinitely get stuck to the bottom of a plastic container if it
came into contact with any moisture at all. However, I think if you stored
it in a plastic bag, it would disintegrate a little bit, but be okay for
travel .Answered on 5/12/2015 by Anonymous
Q:How much of this product are you supposed to use? I have shoulder-length hair.Asked on 6/13/2013 by Sara from Minneapolis, MN
2 answers
A:This can vary from person to person, and it's all about what's best for your hair! You can glide the entire bar along the length of your hair, or you can mix a small amount with water to apply to your hair on its own. It's best to start with a small amount, and then layer on more as needed!Answered on 10/3/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I have long fine hair, which is half way down my back. This product seems a bit difficult to use at first. I think of it as a hair lotion. I run it over my scalp and then underneath my 'loose' hair. Then I run my fingers through all of my hair to make sure it gets through all of it. Let it sit for a minute or two. I don't need to blow dry. i just let it air dry and flip it once or twice. To would say I use about six to seven strokes of the product. Love the results.Answered on 7/6/2013 by auroraa9 from chicago
Q:I absolutely LOVE the fragrance of this product! Are there any other LUSH items you can recommend that have the same fragrance or that smell very similar? I mostly detect the vanilla-y notes, but the scent is much more complicated than that... I can't even describe it. So just other stuff that contains vanilla/vanilla absolute may not be quite the right thing... LOL, I'm mesmerized by this scent!Asked on 6/10/2013 by QuiltyKate
1 answer
A:The combination of vanilla, jasmine, and tonka is what gives BIG such a distinct, beautiful scent! It also contains both lemon and lime juice, as well as seaweed, which contributes to its ocean-like smell. Unfortunately, it is a one-of-a-kind scent, however, we do use a lot of these ingredients in a number of our products separately!Answered on 9/25/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:If I leave my hair to dry naturally will this product make my hair greasy or effect my natural waves?Asked on 6/8/2013 by Moonshoes from UK
1 answer
A:Big Solid Conditioner is our most lightweight conditioner, so it should not make your hair any greasier, even if you let it air dry. Just make sure to apply it to the ends of your hair and avoid the roots.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:I see with all the questions and answers it is saying that BIG shampoo and conditioners is not compatible with color treated hair YET, when I go to the store and ask this question, they all say its fine. I have highlights and some pink streaks.Asked on 3/12/2013 by Franny from New Jersey
1 answer
A:I'm so sorry for the conflicting messages! Big Shampoo and conditioner is not good for colour-treated hair as the salt and citrus are both natural stripping agents. They are able to take out colour.Answered on 3/15/2013 by Anonymous
SHOULD I KEEP IT WRAPPED?Asked on 2/16/2013 by LIZ MAHER from SALT LAKE CITY UTAH
2 answers
A:Keep it out of direct watershed, but you don't need to keep it wrapped. I have mine on my wire rack shower caddy and it depresses onto the wires.Answered on 3/11/2013 by cjcampbe from Pittsburgh, PA
A:We recommend keeping it in a cool, dry, place, with this in mind it would be best to keep "Big" outside of your shower when it is not in use. Once it is wet, it is also important to not let it sit in moisture. Investing in a soap wish that is able to drain would be a great advantage.Answered on 3/19/2013 by Anonymous
Q:I have curly, color-treated, will the Big Conditioner be compatible for my hair type?Asked on 1/30/2013 by Lise from Baton Rouge, LA
1 answer
A:Big Conditioner isn't the best for those with dry, curly, or color treated hair, as it is meant for those with limp, thinner hair looking to add some body. Because of the high sea salt content, we don't usually recommend this conditioner for color treated hair. Look for hair products that don't contain high contents of salt or citrus juices.Answered on 3/8/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How long would you say this product lasts based on how often you use it?Asked on 1/23/2013 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Big solid conditioner has a shelf life of 14 months from the date that it was made!Answered on 1/24/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:I have fairly thick hair, but due to mistreatment it is VERY dry and brittle- while I don't want more volume I do want a moisturizing and very soft conditioner- how does Big work with hair that is already thick and full?Asked on 1/23/2013 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Big Solid Conditioner is definitely moisturizing, but if you already have very thick and full hair and are in need of something more intense I would probably lean more towards Jungle conditioner, which tends to be more for those with your hair type.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Is this safe for color-treated hair (traditional or henna)?Asked on 1/15/2013 by Anonymous
2 answers
A:Big Solid Conditioner does contain sea salt, which can sometimes cause a stripping effect on colour-treated hair. To be on the safe side, we recommend using products without salt and citrus in them while you have hair treated with colour.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:This is not recommended for color treated hair because of the sea salt.Answered on 5/4/2013 by Glitterella from The Great Northwest
Q:What is the best way to store the conditioner bar in the shower?Asked on 12/17/2012 by Gin from Anchorage, AK
3 answers
A:I keep mine in a travel soap case that I picked up in a drug store. It keeps it dry & makes it easy to take it in & out of the shower, toss into an overnight bag, or take to the gym with you. :)Answered on 2/5/2013 by MrsVintageSoutherner from Birmingham, AL
A:I keep it on a shower rack outside of the shower to make sure it won't melt !Answered on 2/7/2013 by kylie from boise, id
A:To best store your conditioner we suggest keeping it outside of the shower to prevent contact with water that would result in melting.You may place your conditioner in the soap dish or any small plastic container to keep it dry.Answered on 3/7/2013 by Anonymous

Q:I was just wondering if this was good for more than one use or is it just one of those things that I'll have to stock up on?Asked on 11/11/2012 by Jonnie from Michigan
1 answer
A:This conditioner will last for many uses, depending on how much you use every time. At 3.5oz (100g), this bar will stick by you for some time!Answered on 11/12/2012 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:Will this conditioner strip my color, like other solid conditioners have done in the past. I use a plant based demi-permanent hair color over a permanent hair color.
Thank you,
SkiwitchAsked on 11/10/2012 by Skiwitch from Fort Wayne, IN by way of High Desert, CA
1 answer
A:Big solid conditioner may not be the best choice for those who have colored hair, as it contains a high sea salt content. Salt is a clarifying ingredient along with others such as citrus juices, which can fade color quicker than products that do not contain these ingredients.Answered on 11/10/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

State Senate President Don Gaetz has appointed Fort Walton Beach attorney Michelle Anchors to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Anchors said the senator's first words to her when he called to notify her of the appointment were, "Michelle your country is calling."
"How can you say no?" Anchors asked.
Gaetz called Anchors "one of the smartest people I've ever met" and said her intelligence, integrity and accountability are traits needed on the commission, which will have a significantly expanded role during the next two years.
"We're going to give the Ethics Commission a bigger stick, and we need people with the courage to swing that stick when they have to," Gaetz said. "Fair minded, courageous people."
The commission weighs complaints of ethical violations by public officials.
Anchors is a partner in the Fort Walton Beach law firm of Keefe, Anchors and Gordon. Gaetz's son, state Rep. Matt Gaetz, also works there.
Gaetz said his decision to appoint Anchors had nothing to do with her work connection to Matt Gaetz. He pointed out that he, his son and Anchors have vastly different political perspectives.
"Michelle is a Democrat and I'm a Republican," he said. "And I can't think of two people further apart politically than Michelle and Matt."
Anchors graduated from Vanderbilt in 1987 and got her law degree from Florida. She served as deputy general counsel to Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles and was appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush to chair the Committee for a Sustainable Emerald Coast, according to a news release from Gaetz's office.
Gaetz said he saw Anchors work when he was Okaloosa County's superintendent of schools as she successfully argued a school district case before the First District Court of Appeals.
"She's an extraordinary attorney and has a very finely honed sense of justice," he said. "She understands how state government works and she's also a grass-roots member of our community in Northwest Florida."
Anchors was on hand when Gaetz was sworn in as Senate president and attended a dinner he hosted for friends. She said he spoke at both events of his intention to emphasize ethics reform in government.
"For me this seemed a perfect way to try to improve the ethical environment in Florida," she said.
Anchors said her first commission meeting will be March 8.

OK, long-time Vette lovers: Just how long (and how strong) has been your attraction to America's Only True Sports Car? Does it go back to the days before you could spell the word Corvette? For Dave Barkus it does.
His Vette history started long before this '00 convertible arrived at his Arvada, Colorado, home. When he was a kid, instead of saving up for a scale-model Corvette from AMT or MPC, he saved his silver for a 1:1-scale version from St. Louis Assembly. In 1970, when he was 17, he made the dream come true.
"I bought my first one in Salem, Oregon, for $1,400 cash, and I drove it all the way to Anchorage, Alaska, and back over the Alcan Highway," he recalls like it was yesterday. "It was a '64 Sting Ray convertible. It had a 365-horse 327 and 3.08 rearend gears. I was clipping 13.60's through the quarter-mile with it, in Third gear." Other than the Hooker headers and side pipes (which, he says, would burn your leg if you didn't step wide when getting out), it was stock. Dave adds that the seller had one request before he left on his 4,000-mile adventure. "He said, 'Take some pictures of it-if there's anything left of the frame when you get there!'"
Over the next four-plus decades, he's had nearly three dozen Corvettes in his garage, but not all at once. In 2002, he had a '90 C4 powered by a Lingenfelter-built stroker 383 with a Paxton supercharger, but he was looking to update to a later-generation Vette. He found a modified '00 convertible for sale in Houston, bought it, and drove it home. That's when the "fun" started.
"The people who played with it in Houston weren't thinking about things like emissions," says Dave. Among other things, the car's engine control module (ECM) was in default. The exhaust system had been modified, too. "It had hollowed-out GM cats on it, which wouldn't pass emissions inspection in Colorado at all."
Dave replaced what was left of the OE catalytic converters with high-performance aftermarket versions. "The first thing that I had to do was get it legal in Colorado, because there's no air here." (Well, there is, but thanks to Denver's mile-high altitude it's quite a bit thinner than what the Vette was used to breathing in Houston.) Getting properly-functioning cats on the C5 was just one issue. Once out of default, the ECM held more horrors. "We were having problems trying to decipher all the codes that were in it," says Dave. "There were 34 different trouble codes! It was a nightmare." One of those codes was triggered by the headers on the car. "You have to take the steering column out to put these headers on, and there's a sensor there that tells the computer that you're turning," he says. "They didn't have it set right, so the computer was confused, thinking the car was turning all the time."
But that wasn't all. Not only was the ECM reporting engine trouble, it also threw codes for the automatic transaxle. "It was complaining that the transmission was slipping," Dave recalls. "The computer was reading the wrong speed that the tires were turning, so it flagged transmission slippage, which it wasn't." As Dave puts it, "To say that it was a nightmare was an understatement. We had a lot of work to do to straighten this thing out."
His first stop for outside help was a GM high-performance dealer. "They told me there was nothing they could do with it, and that I needed to put it on a trailer and send it back to Houston!" Dave then turned to some friends at another GM dealer who, armed with computer savvy and the needed books and hardware, helped him get his Vette not only sorted out, but running right.
The corrective work took about a year, and then the actual fun began. "My original idea was, if there was such a thing as a Z06 convertible, that's what it would look like," Dave says. "Some people do it the other way, and take a Z06 coupe and cut the roof off it."

Baby Bee SPF 30 Sunscreen Stick
This is absolutely recommended for use on babies and children and it's good for adults, too.
Super Glossy Lip Shine
This lip gloss in a tube has a simple, irritant-free formula that glides over lips, producing a soft gloss finish.
Add to Faves?
Burt's Bees At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-priced (it's always a letdown when you pay too much for lackluster to ineffective products); good lip gloss; complete ingredient lists for every product are available on the company's Web site; one of the few lines that actually adheres to its all-natural marketing (though the results aren't always best for skin).
Weaknesses: Pervasive use of irritating ingredients, all of which have documentation proving their problematic nature for skin (and lips); average to poor sunscreens; poorly formulated toners and masks; antioxidants sullied by jar packaging in many instances.
Almost all the skin-care lines in the world prefer to identify themselves as originating from companies established to create elegant, scientific formulations conceived with an in-depth understanding of the skin's functions and needs. We say almost, because Burt's Bees makes no such claim. Quite the contrary; this line is about as unglamorous and as unscientific as it gets (the picture of Burt on the label made me think we were buying fishing gear, and press materials for the brand mention he used to live in a turkey coop). Talk about being an iconoclast!
This is how the company's founder Roxanne Quimby describes its history on its Web site: "I guess you could say it all started because there weren't many jobs up there north of Bangor. Though we found, grew, or traded for most of what we needed, I figure a person's got to have at least 3000 dollars a year in actual greenbacks to survive in this old world, especially if you've got kids. I'd been let go from my last three part-time waitressing jobs and had been buying low and selling high at yard sales and flea markets, which brought in about $150 a week during good weather. How we got started making lip balm and ended up in North Carolina is another story, and a long one at that, so I'll save it for some other time." This is a skin-care line?
Aside from its humble, amorphous beginning, Burt's Bees is about natural, earth-friendly skin-care products, as well as overly fragranced products. Its philosophy in this respect is sincere: "To us, the word 'natural' means only one thing. It means, 'harvested from nature.' And we adhere to that definition like the strictest of school teachers."
For those seeking a line of skin-care products with truly natural ingredients, this is one of the few that steadfastly adheres to its commitment: there is no hypocrisy here. If the ingredient lists are accurate, and there is no reason to assume otherwise, then you will not find preservatives or synthetically derived ingredients of any kind. Just from the all-natural point of view, there will definitely be people who will be excited about these products, but I'm not one of them. Many of the plant extracts and oils used in these products, including orange oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, pine tar, alcohol, lime oil, and balsam peru, are problematic for skin and present a significant risk of irritation or a sensitizing reaction. Both the intriguing philosophy and inexpensive products are attractive, but it takes more than that to establish reliable products that are good for skin.
We know that most people are attracted by fragrance, and in this regard these products excel. They are also notable for the lack of preservatives, which can be beneficial for those who can't tolerate preservatives. (That lack may be an issue for product stability, although we did not have these products tested for contamination.) But for any other skin-care need, we suggest you use your wisdom and recognize that while Mother Nature is assuredly wise about the Earth, She does not have everything the skin needs. In fact, Mother Nature offers up many problematic things for skin, including the sun and poison ivy.

Glamour — never has it looked so fabulous. Barbie® doll makes an entrance in a dramatic, yet brilliantly simple evening ensemble. Satin that gleams with a soft luster in mint and pink, embellished with just a touch of golden lace and icy rhinestone accents. Her coat, with spectacular ruffled collar, is worn in a casual toss around the shoulders. Her two-piece gown has a deep slit — stunning with stilettos. With her short, sleek bob, striking blue eyes, and contemporary face, Barbie® doll is the essence of cool sophistication.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

Based on an extraordinary true story, "Defiance" is an epic tale of family, honor, vengeance and salvation in World War II. The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. The brothers turn a primitive struggle to survive into something far more consequential--a way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands of others. At first, it is all they can do to stay alive. But, gradually, as whispers of their daring spreads, they begin to attract others--men and women, young and old--willing to risk everything for the sake of even a moment's freedom. Tuvia is a reluctant leader and his decisions are challenged by his brother, Zus who worries that Tuvia's idealistic plans will doom them all. Asael is the youngest--caught between his brothers' fierce rivalry. As a brutal winter descends, they work to create a community, and to keep faith alive when all humanity appears to be lost.

The Crappy, Old Stuff (Groom With A View)
One night Evin coerced me into sitting down with her to register for wedding gifts. Her parents had been pestering us to get this done because friends of theirs — strangers to Evin and I — wanted to get us engagement gifts. We had at the time only four dinner plates. Two from my previous marriage, and two scratched, cobalt blue ones from Evin's post-college days. I guess they weren't good enough anymore. So to the Bed Bath & Beyond web site we went and sailed though the kitchen section. We chose plates, mugs, glasses, and a few necessary items for Evin's baking needs, something we all benefit from. This was fun.
"I need new socks and underwear," I joked.
"Gift cards will put you in new socks and underwear," she replied and I think she was serious.
But I was a little uncomfortable, too.
We already have stuff. We have lots of nice stuff. We even have lots of crappy, old stuff, too. And I was attached to the crappy, old stuff. The mug I stole from the sublet when I first moved to New York, the drinking glasses my brother bought me when I moved into my first rental, the silver salt and pepper shakers my parents got me when I bought my first apartment, my sister's old pots and pans, even a few spoons and bowls (shh, don't tell Evin) from my first marriage. What would happen to it all?
One Saturday we went to the store to see flatware. Which fork felt better? Did it have good weight? What gauge stainless steel was it? Was it balanced? Do we need to have the guests who were buying this for us over for dinner so they can use it? New things in, crappy, old stuff out.
Often now our UPS guy brings us boxes bigger than they need to be, then smiles and slaps my back—he knows what's was going on. Even the owner of our building and her daughter and son-in-law who know we got engaged have started to notice the boxes and are now dropping hints about being invited to the wedding. One day, eight new Loft by Rosenthal, 11 inch, white dinner plates arrived. As Evin unpacked them, I went and removed the four old ones from the cabinet. They sat on a bench in our dining room for a few days until we could decide what to do with them. I swear I heard one of them scream at me one day, How could you do this to us?!
Shiny new things were coming into our lives. But the crappy, old stuff held memories for me. And now they're in the garbage. One night we ordered Chinese takeout and Evin suggested we eat off of the new plates. I have to admit, they are nice. I guess we'll just go ahead and make new memories with them.

Galactape wrote:The little MU's are knock offs aren't they?
Not from what I could tell. They're the same size as the regular MU figures, only with less articulation and they have the same company name on them, and the same package design. I guess the company decided to make the less articulated ones as a means of making them more affordable in comparison to the ones that have a lot of articulation. Even on the sticker on the shelf at the Family Dollar, the basic figures are described as "Marvel Universe Basic Figure" while the ones with the more articulation is listed as "Marvel Universe Advanced Figure." I guess its the difference between making something for playing with (which the basic figures can be used for) and making something for collecting (which I assume the ones with more articulation would be).

A few weeds are perfectly normal in an organic lawn. But a particular weed overtaking your grass is a sign your lawn isn't competitive enough, and you need to discover why in order to modify your lawn-care practices.
What Causes It
Clover, which pulls nitrogen from the air, appears where grass is sparse and the soil is low in nitrogen.
Fast fix: Till soil to remove clover; then add compost to the soil to increase its fertility. Reseed bare spots with grass.
Prevention: Apply a slow-release organic lawn fertilizer in fall and leave clippings on the grass all season.
Dandelions can appear anywhere in your lawn, especially where turfgrass is weaker.
Fast fix: Remove flower heads before they go to seed; dig out roots with a dandelion weeder.
Prevention: Apply corn-gluten meal (a natural "weed and feed") in early spring.
Crabgrass can sprout if you mow the lawn too short, allowing sunlight to germinate the weed's seeds.
Fast fix: Dig plants out completely before they set seed, and sow grass seed in their place.
Prevention: Raise your mower's blade to the highest setting and keep removing weeds from reseeded spots until new grass is established.
Broadleaf Plantain
Broadleaf plantain appears in compacted soil and anywhere grass has a hard time growing.
Fast fix: Pull plants out with a dandelion weeder and reseed with grass.
Prevention: Add compost to loosen the soil, discouraging the weed from returning.
Yellow Grass
This may simply indicate wear and tear, an iron or nitrogen deficiency, or that the grass is going dormant. Before attempting to treat one of these pest infestations, get your soil tested to determine whether organic soil amendments will green up the grass.
What Causes It
Billbugs lay eggs in grass, and their larvae feed on stems, causing yellow circular patches that appear drought-stressed.
Fast fix: Add organic matter and water deeply in spring to discourage billbugs.
Prevention: Reseed or overseed the lawn with resistant endophyte-enhanced grasses. (Check seed package labels for these special varieties.)
Chinch bugs
Chinch bugs suck the sap from grass, which causes yellow circular patches to develop.
Fast fix: Water the lawn well for three to four weeks to a depth of 6 inches.
Prevention: Reseed or overseed the lawn with resistant endophyte-enhanced grasses.
Bare or Ragged Patches
Heavy foot traffic or dog waste may be the culprit. If armyworms are truly the cause, you'll be able to see the pests eating your grass.
What Causes It
Armyworm larvae
Armyworm larvaechew grass blades down to the crown, especially during cool, wet weather.
Fast fix: Apply a solution of parasitic nematodes to the infested area; then water well. Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) is effective when the larvae are small.
Prevention: Rake out dead grass and reseed with endophyte-enhanced varieties.
Red Grass
This is a fairly reliable indication of disease; fortunately, both red thread and rust are easily diagnosed and treatable.
What Causes It
Red Thread
Red thread, a fungus that occurs during cool, wet weather, causes circular patches of dried grass.
Fast fix: Mow regularly to remove infected blade tips, and apply compost.
Prevention: Water deeply and provide regular, adequate nitrogen by leaving the grass clippings on the lawn.
Rust, a fungus afflicting drought-stressed, nutrient-starved lawns, causes reddish spores.
Fast fix: Mow regularly to remove infected blade tips, and leave grass clippings on the lawn.
Prevention: Avoid night watering, which causes a prime damp environment for spores to grow.
Whitish Grass
Unless you're striping the lawn for a football game, white grass signals trouble.
What Causes It
Powdery Mildew
Powdery mildew, which causes small patches of white or gray fungus on grass, is most common in shady, wet areas and on overfertilized lawns.
Fast fix: Spray a solution of one part milk to nine parts water over affected areas.
Prevention: Avoid overfertilizing and overwatering the lawn, and plant shade-tolerant grass in areas that get only partial sun.
Brown Grass
Before you call 911 on a lawn-threatening pest situation, keep in mind that brown grass is often a result of poor maintenance, site conditions, or summer dormancy rather than an infestation. Be sure your lawn isn't being mowed too short and that it is not suffering from soil compaction, drought, or nutrient deficiencies.
What Causes It
White grubs
White grubs chew on grass roots, causing irregular, brown, dead patches in the lawn.
Fast fix: Apply parasitic nematodes (genus Heterorhabditis) to the affected area; then water well.
Prevention: Apply milky disease spores, which parasitize Japanese beetle grubs and survive for several years.
Sod Webworms
Sod webworms cause dead spots by severing grass blades and pulling them into the ground to eat. They prefer new lawns.
Fast fix: Apply BTK about two weeks after moths appear, when pests are in their larval stage.
Prevention: If the problem persists, overseed with endophyte-enhanced grass varieties.
Shabby, Worn-Out Looking Lawn
If your lawn looks weak but you can't identify the cause, get out a ruler and check the depth of thatch. Less than a half inch of thatch acts like mulch. A deeper layer keeps water and nutrients from reaching the grass roots.
What Causes It
Thatch, a springy mat of grass roots and stems on the soil surface, is the result of excess fertilizer use. It is not caused by letting clippings fall onto the lawn.
Fast fix: Scrape out the thatch with a hard-tined rake (special thatch rakes are helpful but not essential).
Prevention: Spread a layer of compost on top of the soil to encourage earthworms to thrive in the soil and break down the thatch layer at the same rate at which it is being formed. Use slow-release organic fertilizers only.
These fungi are among the most difficult of lawn problems to get rid of, since they are signs of a fungal mat under the soil that grows outward.
What Causes It
Fairy Ring
Fairy ring appears in the grass first as dark green circles, eventually sprouting mushrooms that can deplete the soil's nutrients and form a water-repellent mat, causing the grass to die.
Fast fix: Dig out the mushrooms and turn the soil to a depth of 2 feet, mixing in compost as you go, to break up the fungal mat and improve the soil's fertility.
Prevention: Use good maintenance practices, such as discouraging thatch buildup by using only slow-release fertilizers, and watering deeply no more than once a week instead of giving your lawn frequent shallow sprinklings.
Low-growing, soft patches of green spongy growth are particularly common in shady areas.
What Causes It
Moss takes hold in poorly drained sites, often where the soil is acidic.
Fast fix: Rake off the moss and add compost to improve drainage. Reseed bare areas.
Prevention: If moss is persistent, plant a groundcover that thrives in damp, shady spots, such as violets or ajuga.
Though the ridges in the soil aren't harmful to your lawn themselves, they are usually an indicator of a problem underground. The raised areas are difficult to mow and they make your lawn uncomfortable to walk and play on.
What Causes It
Moles tunnel through your lawn to feed on grubs and earthworms, creating ridges and mounds.
Fast fix: Press mole ridges flat with the head of a rake to restore the roots' contact with the soil and even the area for mowing.
Prevention: Remove the food source, and the moles will seek it out elsewhere. In the case of grubs (see "Brown grass"), the best long-term control comes from milky disease spores, which come in a liquid form you apply as a drench to the soil.

New NXT Creation - check it out!
Jonathan sent me an email about his entry for the official NXT contest. Makes me think of Boba Fett or others with wrist-mounted devices.
Jonathan's comments: Meet my new assistant – the A27 Bionic Glove. Designed to give special capabilities, the Bionic Glove straps comfortably on the lower arm, armed with a sphere gun, extending hand with voice command, radar, and light.
The display has a menu on it with icons, which can be selected using the arrow and enter keys. When the right arrow key is pressed, the next icon is underlined. When the desired icon is underlined, the enter key can be pressed to bring up a submenu.
When the X2 Robotic Hand icon is selected, the display tells the user to input sound. When a sound command is given, the hand extends and grabs at a speed directly related to the volume of the sound command given. When a sound command is given again, the hand opens and retracts. The hand can also be moved left or right using the respective arrow keys. The enter key can be pressed to return to the main menu.
Using the light bulb icon, the I7 InfraLight can be turned on or off. Another feature is the T1 Theater. When this icon (the PC) is selected, a short animation about a snail getting past a mountain is shown.
At night, when visibility is low, the U5 Sonic Eye comes in handy. Selected by the "eye" icon, the Sonic Eye tells you to "watch out!" when you get to close too an object.
Finally, the last icon brings up instructions for the GX "Get Zamors" special game, which you can play using the Sphere Gun.
Whenever the special button (touch sensor) on the control panel is pressed, the Sphere Gun activates, rapidly shooting 12 spheres contained in a magazine. The magazine can easily be opened for quick reloading.
Very cool, Jonathan! Thanks for sending!
View it here.
If YOU have a creation you'd like to share, please email me all the details and I'll get it posted.

Virgil Wiebe grew up in western Kansas and attended Kansas State University, where he received an Honors B.A. in geography and political science. As a Rhodes Scholar, he received an M.Phil. in Latin American studies from Oxford University with concentrations in geography and economics. Following time working with refugees in south Texas, he attended law school at New York University, where he was a Root-Tilden-Snow Public Interest Scholar, an International Law Fellow, and an editor of the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics.
After law school, Wiebe clerked for the Honorable James C. Francis, IV, federal magistrate judge in the Southern District of New York. He then served for four years as Director of Immigration Services and Supervising Attorney for Interfaith Community Services in New York City, a non-profit organization assisting refugees and immigrants. While at ICS, Wiebe represented hundreds of immigrants before the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and in immigration court. There he also led efforts to create community-based immigration clinics in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
In 1999, Wiebe joined the Center for Applied Legal Studies at Georgetown University Law Center as an Advocacy Fellow. There he taught in the immigration clinic. In 2001, Wiebe was appointed visiting assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Law, where he established an in-house immigration clinic and taught criminal law.
Wiebe has been an active participant in the efforts to curb the use of landmines and cluster bombs in armed conflicts. As a consultant to the Mennonite Central Committee, he has attended United Nations conferences on landmines and conventional weapons, and has addressed diplomats on international humanitarian law matters. He has also advised non-profit organizations on establishing immigration programs for low income communities. He is active in his local congregation and various professional organizations, serves pro bono clients, and frequently presents at continuing legal education (CLE) seminars.
As director of clinical education at UST School of Law, Professor Wiebe is one of the principal architects of the University's unique Interprofessional Center for Counseling and Legal Services.

Criminal Law
The use of cluster munitions violates international humanitarian law in nearly all cases. Cluster munitions are artillery shells, rockets or air-delivered bombs that break into small bomblets or submunitions. Because of their wide area of coverage (making them difficult to accurately target) and their high "dud" rates (converting them into dangerous unexploded ordnance), their use creates serious hazards for civilians. This idea was vindicated in 2008 with the creation of the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), an international treaty banning cluster munitions. The CCM has been signed by 108 countries; 57 have ratified it.
Upcoming: I am researching the extent to which graduate students in mental health professions serve as expert witnesses in immigration proceedings.
