Lace: An Ancient Fabric
Lace-making is an ancient craft, dating back to the 15th century. Lace is an openwork fabric with complex patterns or figures, handmade or machine-made on special lace machines. Lace was important in fashion between the 16th and 19th centuries, and remains important today as a trim in apparel and furnishings. Lace names often reflect the town in which the lace was originally made, such as Venetian lace or Valenciennes lace.

ESPN senior NFL writer John Clayton's "First and 10" column takes you around the league, with a look at the best game of the week, followed by primers for 10 other games. Here's his look at Week 5 of the 2006 season.
First ... Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles
Terrell Owens' return to Philadelphia is the most anticipated scene of the 2006 season.
He helped to take the Eagles to a Super Bowl in 2004. His selfishness helped to rip the team apart in 2005. A former hero to the Eagles fans, Owens is now public enemy No. 1. Owens even jokes that fans will twist his recent hospitalization for a bad reaction of pain medication to "O.D., O.D." cheers.
Yet, the game itself might even exceed the hype. Both teams have emerged as the early front-runners to win pro football's most competitive division. For the Cowboys, it was expected. In the last two years, Bill Parcells has put together one of the most physical, aggressive 3-4 defenses in the league. Despite the loss of Owens, Donovan McNabb has spread the ball to receivers in no-huddle sets and is averaging 312 passing yards a game and leads the league with nine touchdown passes.
Though the focus will be on Owens, who is coming off recent ring finger surgery in his right hand, the pressure is on the Eagles. They haven't won an NFC East game since 2004, losing all six last season and their home opener this season against the Giants after blowing a 17-point second-half lead.
The Eagles' schedule was favorable early with games against the Packers and 49ers, but that just means the Eagles need to start strong in the division because they have one of the toughest closing schedules in the league. Plus, a loss to the Cowboys would mean they would have lost two of their three home NFC East games.
Injuries are a concern for the Eagles. Cornerback Lito Sheppard is trying to come back from an ankle injury that sidelined him the past couple of weeks. Third cornerback Roderick Hood is doubtful with a heel injury. For this game, the Eagles could get by without a top third cornerback because the Cowboys use more two tight end-two receiver sets, but having Sheppard back is vital.
The Eagles receivers are banged up. Donte' Stallworth is doubtful with a hamstring injury and Reggie Brown is questionable with a shoulder injury. If neither can go, McNabb will be without his starting receivers going against a defense that could frustrate a tight-end dominated offense.
Another key injury to follow is to Brian Westbrook, who is considered the X factor in the Philly offense. Eagles coach Andy Reid revealed Tuesday Westbrook has a bone bruise on the knee and that some cartilage might be damaged. The Eagles don't have a bye week until Nov. 5 so it's not as though they could scope the knee and get him back without a missed game.
Reid made Westbrook a last-minute scratch for Monday night's game against the Packers, hoping he could make it to the Cowboys game. So far the swelling is down, which is a good sign. But if he can't play, the Eagles could head into this key matchup understaffed on offense. Which is just what Owens wants to see.

Getting In, Immigration Museum Exhibition, 2003-2015
Image: Internal shots of the exhibition space
Source: Museum Victoria
Getting In focuses on the policies and processes of Australian immigration across time. It is an exhibition about selection and rejection, with content presented through text, statistics, graphics, objects and compelling interactives. Personal experiences and perspectives provide examples of particular policies. Debate and dissent about Australia's immigration policy have always been a part of the political landscape, and the exhibition brings out contrary opinions at various historical moments. It also explores the process of Australia's nation-building over time and how migrant selection has acted as a key component of the construction of a desired national identity. Objects include original immigration documents, promotional material, personal artefacts, customs items, iconographic medals, protest ephemera, all presented chronologically in four distinct time periods from the 1840s to the present day. The broad exhibition premise is that the bottom line of Australian immigration policy over the last 200 years has been how to 'get in'. People's experiences have varied dramatically, from being welcomed, invited, assisted, accepted, discouraged and refused. Basic questions are addressed - why have some people been allowed in and others not? What rules and regulations have been created over the years to determine a person's eligibility? How have these rules changed over time? How have these changing policies both reflected and shaped public opinion?
Central to the exhibition is an interactive theatre experience whereby visitors find themselves in the role of a government official charged with the responsibility of interviewing people applying to migrate to Australia, and discovering whether or not they 'get in'. They can select from nine applicants over three significant periods in the development of Australia's immigration policies. Visitors who have migrated themselves are able to relate to the anxiety, anticipation, excitement and tragedy of the applicants; others will gain a new understanding of what it must be like to have their lives hang in the balance and decisions taken out of their hands. In either case, the shape and development over time of Australia's immigration policies will become evident as visitors witness the questions, responses and outcomes of the interviews and read the secondary layer of policy 'fact files'.
Further Exhibition Content
Snapshot of Australian Immigration Policy
1840-1900: The end of convict transportation and the influx of free settlers sees British policy continue to govern Australia, allowing immigration from throughout the Empire and allied countries.
1901-1945: Australia's Immigration Restriction Act, commonly known as the 'White Australia policy', restricts immigration from non-British countries.
1946-1972: Immigration policy no longer mentions race. Although British immigrants are still preferred, continental Europeans are also admitted in a push for population growth.
1973-today: Multiculturalism results in a broadening of immigration policy. People from all countries may apply to immigrate. However, overall immigration levels are reduced.
Key Themes & Immigration Policy Categories explored in Getting In
Nation Building: The question of national identity has had a profound impact on Australia's immigration policies. The idea of Australia as a white, British nation saw policies such as the Immigration Restriction Act introduced and quotas on non-British migrants, right up until the 1970s. Populating this vast continent and building industry has also impacted Australia's immigration policies and selection.
Assistance: Active selection of Australian immigrants has been helped by the provision of assisted passage immigration schemes where the Government contributed to the cost of passage and sometimes settlement. The changing focus of this assistance reflects the changing international pressures and Australian values and identity.
Rejection: As well as actively seeking particular types of immigrants Australian immigration policies have also discouraged, banned and limited the numbers of some migrants. These include the well known Immigration Restriction Act and Dictation Test which restricted Asian immigration to Australia for 70 years, to today's NUMAS system which gives applicants points in a number of categories including education, employment and wealth to assess their suitability for migration to Australia.
Family Reunion: Throughout Australian immigration history family reunions have been a means of migrating to Australia. From the Nomination and Remittance Schemes of the 19th Century to the acceptance of war brides following World War II and the use of family reunion as a key post 1970s immigration criteria.
Work: The filling of jobs has been a principal motivation of the Australian government for encouraging, accepting and rejecting immigrants. Governments have selected migrants to fill particular workforce gaps, such as today's focus on skilled migrants, and rejected migrants based on their skills and employment.
Refuge: Australia has provided a refuge for people fleeing political, cultural, religious or racial discrimination since the 19th century. The attitude of the Australian public to refugees is often contested with the management of 'off-shore' and 'on-shore' applicants currently one of the most hotly debated issues in Australian political history.

He's shot hundreds and hundreds of thousands of frames filled with the most dazzling and devastating female figures in all adult entertainment yet he's still hungry for more. He's produced more movies than Jerry Bruckheimer, fucked more pornstars than Charlie Sheen, and won more AVN Awards than Mike Nichols has won Tonys. Grammys, and Oscars combined! He's Jules Jordan and his self-titled official website holds over a thousand choice scenes pulled from his extensive archives, wrapped in glorious High Definition packaging and delivered digitally to you. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, now...
Easily one of the top five hardcore studios in the USA, Elegant Angel has produced more incredible porn movies than you can shake a dick at! With a changing roster of directors leading the studio into a new era and bringing a marvelously appetizing roster of sexy talents along for the ride, Elegant Angel invites you to sign-up, log-in, and take a good long look at one of our most valued porn studios' latest offerings.
Team Skeet's 20 original websites range from simple teen harlotry to European erotic hardcore and interracial fucking, and makes pitstops along the way to explore female masturbation, diminutive women, "homemade" sex tapes, POV blowjobs, and curvaceous young ladies with a penchant for climbing on top and riding their way to powerful orgasms. Though not without some faults, Team Skeet manages to keep things interesting and exciting for its devoted fans, of which you may soon become one.
Although Mofos has curiously failed to cast among its models an army of big-titted MILFs hell bent on devouring every dick on Earth, the other women filling the ranks do an admirable job all the same. Actually, since these young lasses are more sprightly than most MILFs and prone to rash degeneracy, Mofos better take good care of 'em! On sites like Let's Try Anal, Stranded Teens, Public Pickups, and Real Slut Part, the Mofos crew and performers thrown down in reality-based hardcore romps well worth devoting some time and sexual energy to, MILFs or no MILFs.
Wicked Pictures is one of porn's most celebrated studios and, taking a look at the official video site of this adult industry stalwart, it's easy to see why. High production values - think blockbuster movies but with more throbbing dicks - and a roster of female performers that rivals that of any other top studio take Wicked far beyond what most studios even bother to attempt. From Jessica Drake's Guide to Fellatio to Axel Braun's Trashy MILFs, Wicked Pictures has plenty to be proud of.
Women are undoubtedly one of the most consistent sources of joy in the lives of those that admire them, so it's only natural there should be an adult erotica site entitled FemJoy. Home to a large and daiiy-updated collection of naturalistic outdoor shoots and more intimate indoor encounters, FemJoy is a fantastic celebration of all that makes women (in this case, specifically young Central and Eastern European women) bring such joy to our lives and libidos.
The most notorious crew in online porn, the Bang Bros, haven't exactly grown up and settled down after almost ten years in the business. Sites like Ass Parade, Big Tit Cream Pie, Blowjob Fridays, and, of course, the infamous Bang Bus entertain subscribers with a marvelous variety of hardcore HD romps and there's almost 7,000 scenes already available with a pair of fresh ones arriving every day. Now, as Bang Bros prepares to move into the next phase of its smut-peddling lifespan with a brand-new members area allegedly ready and loaded with 1080p videos, we catch up with the little gonzo network that could (and did) and see how things fare on planet Bang Bros today.
Sometimes the best way to learn something or improve a skill or technique is to look at it from a drastically different angle. Take sex: viewing sex from a strictly male perspective won't teach you how to please a woman; for that, you must study Girlsway. A new four-site network bringing together American and European pornstars both brand new to porn and well established for an all-female hardcore sex show that delivers powerful HD videos of vaginal explorations, deep toy insertions, and steamy bubble baths you'll never want to end. Male or female, gay or straight, Girlsway has much to teach us about the art of pleasing a woman.

I received one of your samplers as a gift and the Orange Pomegrante was my absolute favorite. I truly hope to be able to purchase this individually very soon!
1/30/15 | Jo-Anne, Milton, MA
Bring Back OP!!
Truly one of the most refreshing herbal teas with a lovely complexity that will hook you from the start, which is what happened to me! I continue to check the sight from time to time waiting patiently for the day I can once again purchase this item as a loose pouch. Believe me if it should ever become available again I will stock up!
1/27/15 | Lydia, San Jose, CA
Please bring back as a stand alone loose tea!
I love this tea. I bought one of the pouch packages because it sounded tasty. I'm so glad I did. Unfortunately it's not currently offered outside of a sampler pack. Please, PLEASe bring it back as either a loose canister or as a pouch. I've been rationing myself to make the little bit I have left last. I'll be so sad if I can get anymore. I think this is the best of Tea Forte's hebals.
1/4/15 | Tamela, Chicago, IL
Orange Pomegranate is the most aromatic and tangy sweet tasteful tea! I like to mix it with other teas (like the Black tea "Blood Orange Noir"... truly wonderful! Tea Forte, please bring this back into a form that can be bought in bulk. I can't believe this is only available as a part of a huge set of other teas. This has, in the past, been available in the canister and also the loose leaf refill bags. (and on the subject of the refill bags: I can't believe Tea Forte is discontinuing the loose leaf refill bags!!! This does not seem very planet friendly to me. I get so sick of packaging taking up so much room in my cupboards and the landfills. Please offer this in a way that a person can have larger quantities.)
12/16/14 | Lisa, Tacoma, WA
Fresh and juicy
Hope its okay to mention a competing brand here but it you like Celestial Seasonings Tangerine Zinger you have got to try this! Its a fresher, zippier, better, loose leaf version. Perfect blend of juicy tart fall flavors! Please Tea Forte, can you make this one available in a canister?
10/14/13 | Sarah, Sacramento, CA
A flavor party in your mouth!
This is THE tastiest tea I have ever had! As the tea cools, the flavors become even brighter! My sister said, "it makes my mouth happy!".
4/14/13 | Krstina, Turner, ME
Bold Citrus Flavor
This tea is a wonderfully contrasting blend of a heady orange flavor on top of earthy undertones. It has just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the tart citrus notes.
1/24/13 | Matt, Boulder, CO
Fruity surprise
Fruity and sweet. Pleasantly surprised.
12/16/12 | Sherri, Manhattan, KS
A very refreshing combo of clearly top notch ingredients. I drink a lot of tea, A LOT of tea, this one still managed to not only impress but also stand way out as unique among citrus blends!
4/4/12 | Jason, honolulu, HI
Absolutely delicious blend!
This tea was wonderful. I wasn't expecting the depth of flavor that it had, so I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Both tart and sweet, but with just the right amount of both. Decidedly my favorite tea, just wish they would offer it as a stand-alone product.
2/17/10 | Liz, Chesapeake, VA
The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine

South Milwaukee — Mike Cieczka's refuge is a 27-foot power boat named C-World.
It's the place where he can unwind, spend the weekend with his wife and reflect on the twists and turns of his life and the American economy.
Cieczka may have lost his job last fall, but he sure won't lose this boat.
"What draws people to water," he says, "it's like what draws people around a fire at night - freedom, solitude, getting away from everyday life."
But these days, even along Lake Michigan, there's no getting away from the punishing economy.
The boating industry and those who adore the pastime are trying to navigate through a major squall. From boat-makers to sail-makers, engine manufacturers to marine hardware suppliers, the industry is struggling.
One major sign of distress is the plight facing Fond du Lac and its battle to keep Mercury Marine.
The firm, fighting a global economic downturn, is considering consolidating operations in either Wisconsin or Oklahoma.
But there are other, smaller signs of the economy's grip over the industry.
For the first time since the early 1970s, there are around a dozen membership openings at the South Shore Yacht Club. The club has a cap of 550 members.
"For us, it's sort of shocking," says Bob Aring, the club's commodore.
"I think everyone is fighting it," Aring says of the economy's impact on boating. "I don't know any yacht club that doesn't have an impact. Nobody talks about how bad it is."
Mark Rode, commodore of the Racine Yacht Club, says membership is down and so are the racing fleets. He says this year's HOOK Race, from Racine to Door County, drew 44 entrants. In good times, 60 to 70 boats race.
"The economy is definitely affecting boating," Rode says. "It's entirely disposable income. You have to want to do it. I happen to want to do it. It's my pastime."
Those who don't venture near the water may consider boating to be strictly a pursuit of the rich. No doubt, there are plenty of wealthy people on big boats guzzling gas at near $3 a gallon. And events like the America's Cup remain playthings for billionaires and their crews.
But Wisconsin offers nearly as many boating experiences as lakes. This is truly the state where boating is for the masses.
The South Milwaukee Yacht Club symbolizes Wisconsin's blue-collar boating roots. To be a member here, you don't just have to pay fees - you have to pitch in and work.
The Cieczkas adore the club and their boat. That's why they're sticking here, even as they face difficult economic times.
Mike Cieczka, a senior tool designer, was laid off last fall after 28 years on the job. He's doing all the right things to look for a job - sending out résumés, networking, joining support groups. He's also remaining upbeat. Time on the lake helps. Dona Cieczka works as a buyer for a machine parts firm.
They built a savings and continue to meet their $250 monthly payments on the boat. But they are cutting corners, no longer eating out as much, and no longer making longer cruises.
'Our floating cottage'
"This is our floating cottage," Mike Cieczka says.
Sharon and Randy Kempowski know exactly what the Cieczkas are going through. After a layoff in 2007, Randy Kempowski went more than a year without a job. But he wouldn't go through life without a boat.
In a move that most financial planners would blanch at, Randy Kempowski used proceeds from his 401(k) to pay off the debt on his 33-foot power boat. He didn't want a financial statement - he wanted peace of mind.
"Before the downturn, I was getting offers for $60,000 for the boat," Kempowski says. "Now, I had a guy who offered me $38,000 . . . if it met his needs."
But Kempowski and his wife aren't selling.
"We've always said, boating is an addiction," he says.
This year, they moved the boat from a marina to the club and saved around $1,000. They've cut back on fishing trips. They won't be heading north on vacation this year, either. Instead, they'll spend their downtime by the dock.
They don't have to go out on Lake Michigan to get away. All they have to do is head to their floating cottage.

Looking for a Christmas/Holiday gift? Why not give them a book: "Oakland PD and Police Skills For Civilians: A Tutorial" written by Hayward author, Jason Moreno. This book aims to be both entertaining and educational. It is available at Amazon.com for under $10.00.
Another election, midterm has come and gone. Does this mean there will be major changes benifitting most Americans? Of course not! There are very few changes after any election that benifit most Americans. If we want to share more of our country's wealth and a more equitible use of our tax dollars, we will have to fight for greater Democracy in our country. That fight begins in every city. Join the fight. Help us elect "independents" to office.
East bay residents organize to save Hayward's open space and recreation area: Friends of the Hidden Hills Racquet Clubs
Kudos Chase Bank- is now offerring "free checking accounts" to US military veterans with no strings attached. Yes! No minumum balance is required to qualify for this free checking account. Chase Bank located at Southland, Hayward, is the place to go. Do not go to the Chase Bank on Foothill Blvd., though. Their employees do not know about this offer from their bank, as we found out, recently.
One business that doesn't seem to be feeling the effect of any economic "downturn" is that of the veternarian. Local vets are charging an arm and a leg for services and at many offices, staff is not very welcoming. If you find a vet that charges reasonable prices and where the help is courteous, let pet owners know. You will be doing society a great favor. We recommend using the SPCA for spay and neutering.

"Big Brother 15" Spoilers: Nick is the ReNom
The "Big Brother" live feeds just returned after the Veto ceremony and it was revealed that MVP Elissa nominated Nick in Jeremy's place. Obviously, Jeremy removed himself from the block using the veto he won in the PoV competition. Since Jeremy was the MVP's nomination, the MVP got to pick the replacement nom. Elissa ended up picking Nick as the third nominee. It probably won't matter, though as both the Moving Company and Jeremy's girls all want Elissa gone. Those are enough votes to give Rachel's sister the boot. Barring any surprise developments it will most likely be Elissa who goes home on Thursday. If there's any breaking news between now and then, you'll find it here!

I haven't experienced any stomach distress, as mentioned in the other comment, but I do take them with my breakfast. I especially notice less discomfort in my knees when I'm taking these. If it's a placebo effect, as some studies seem to indicate, I don't care . . . my knees feel BETTER!

Now MIT researchers led by Sangeeta Bhatia, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) and Brigham and Women's Hospital, have solved the problem with a novel device. The work promises to allow researchers to perform cellular experiments that were previously impossible.
Bhatia and HST postdoctoral associate Elliot Hui describe the device in the March 27 online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Hui is first author of the paper.
The new device, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS), allows biologists to physically arrange cells to be either touching, close but not touching, or completely separated from one another. Further, they can change that configuration at will. And the device works without the use of tools such as the microscopes or robotic control arms typically required by MEMS devices.
Because cells communicate via signals transmitted both through the touching of cell membranes and through soluble molecules that flow between separated cells, biologists need to vary the spacing of cells to study their interactions. Also, since some signals induce a cell to change its internal programming, it is important for biologists to be able to rearrange cells over time to learn which signals spur change and which don't.
In the past, researchers erected chemical "moats" around cells in an attempt to keep them close but separate. Over time, however, cells invariably breech the divide. "They are very good at crossing the moat," said Bhatia, who performed several such experiments in graduate school.
Bhatia and Hui's first thoughts about how to so

February 20, 2012
By: Brenna Lemieux
After filing for bankruptcy protection in January 2012, Eastman Kodak Co. has announced several plans for streamlining its business operations and eliminating the money hemorrhage that led it to file for bankruptcy protection in the first place.
Chief among the changes Kodak plans is the shedding of its digital camera, pocket video camera, and digital picture frame production, according to BusinessWeek.com. The company apparently hopes to license its brand for these products to other companies, and plans to continue honoring warranties and maintenance agreements for existing models.
In lieu of selling cameras and film, it seems Kodak will shift its focus to film and inkjet printers. Popular accessories of the digital camera age, these products are among the reasons why Kodak's 131-year-old film-based business began to flounder in the first place; however, bankruptcy offers nothing if not a chance to adjust to the times, and thus Kodak plans to plug valiantly forward.
The shift away from selling cameras is projected to save the company $100 million annually. Another move Kodak has reportedly planned is the sale of a number of patents it now holds. Currently in possession of more than 1,000 digital-imaging patents, the company will, it seems, not only attempt to sell them, but also pursue legal action against companies that have allegedly infringed on these patents.
Sources note that Kodak has claimed that companies including Apple Inc. and Research in Motion Ltd. owe it royalties regarding use of patented materials and ideas in digital devices.
One of the trickier obligations Kodak is allegedly trying to wiggle its way out of is its 20-year naming rights deal with the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, where the Academy Awards are traditionally hosted.
It seems that the original agreement called for Kodak to pay $72 million over a period of 20 years in exchange for naming rights of the theater. Now, however, Kodak has petitioned the bankruptcy court to let it escape that agreement early in hopes of saving several million dollars.
At present, though, it seems that the company with which Kodak entered the contract has insisted that an early termination would be both "legally impermissible" and "practically impossible." Ultimately, it seems the decision about the Kodak Theatre agreement will be in the hands of the Manhattan Bankruptcy Court, where Kodak filed its case.
Eastman Kodak Inc. is based in Rochester, New York.

A study from the Internal Revenue Service has found that one out of 189 high earners in the US paid no income tax in 2009. That is, 10,080 households who reported adjusted gross income of at least $200,000 annually — 0.26 percent of high earners — paid no income taxes in the US or to other countries. It is further reason to support President Obama's "Buffett rule," which would tax high-earners at a rate of 30 percent or higher.
The IRS also reports that the number of high earners who paid no taxes rose from 0.51 percent to 0.53 percent. Under US tax law, citizens must pay US taxes for income earned around the world; they do receive tax credits for payments they make to other governments.
The number of households whose income exceeded $200,000 feel from 2008 (4.4 million households or 3.1 percent of the population) to 2009 (3.9 million households or 2.8) percent.
High earners are able to avoid paying taxes — even the alternative minimum tax, established in 1969 after 155 people earning $200,000 were found to have paid no taxes — through a variety of legal means including deductible charitable contributions, the exclusion for state and local government interest ("tax-exempt interest"), medical and dental expenses and other items. Via the Buffett rule and other proposals, Obama has supported limits in precisely these areas, deductions and the tax exemption for municipal bond interest. As the IRS report notes,
"High-income returns are more often nontaxable as a result of a combination of reasons, none of which, by itself, would result in nontaxability." (p. 15)
A chart on p. 16 of the IRS report shows the primary reasons for no tax liability in 2009.
Overall the IRS found that there were 35,061 households, or 0.88 percent, that paid nothing.

And this is news because?????? The rich do not pay taxes, the poor do not pay taxes, it is the shrinking middle class who pay, whether we have a Democrat or Republican in the White House.
LOL!!! Steve R. said: Here's the thing Kristina Chew - the IRS works for the government. The government is controlled by the Democrats at the moment.
Oh, REALLY? Well gee, let's see...the President only PROPOSES legislation; the President does NOT pass laws. And the Senate has a SLIGHT Democratic majority. The House is a lunatic hell hole infested by bible thumpin', animal hatin' TEA BAGGER Republicans! I am NOT saying the Democrats are wonderful or blameless, THEY ARE NOT. But Steve R. takes the CAKE in the ignorance competition today.
Why do some people have to jump on the "it's Obama's fault" train for every thing the politicians do?
If the 1% don't pay taxes, it's because they are crooks--lowlifes who feel "entitled" to allow others to foot the bill while they hoard their bucks.
I NEVER heard this much bitching about GWB when he was ruining our country, starting war after war! Karl Rove is the master of evil, but no one seems to have a problem with him!
When Clinton left office, the country was in good condition. Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and GWB razed and ruined this country, building up a monumental national debt the eight years they inflicted themselves on us. Obama takes over, has four years of trying to piece America back together, but too many people give him the blame for a fallen America!
If I was given the choice, I would CHOOSE to pay taxes. I am part of America, I owe my share, just like everyone else. Anyone who wants a free ride needs to leave America, as far as I'm concerned--and they can pay the taxes they owe us before they leave--no "off-shore accounts", no convenient "tax loophole".
"Over 10,000 High Earners Paid No US Taxes"....
Good for them. I must learn their secret!
And if Kristina Chew knew their secret, she would also pay no taxes.
Here's the thing Kristina Chew - the IRS works for the government. The government is controlled by the Democrats at the moment.
So who is allowing these high earners to legally pay no taxes?
For once the liberals and the conservatives have something in common. No one thinks the 70,000 page tax code is working, toss it, and phase in a Fair Tax code.
The Republicans have a favorite saying that goes something to the effect of We dont have a Taxing Problem, we have a Spending Problem. I dont think anyone of sound mind could deny the fact that the nation wastes entirely too much money and many cuts could and should be made. That, however, isnt the whole story. The biggest problem we have is the only people paying taxes are the rapidly declining people of what used to be the middle class. Our legislators, in their infinite stupidity, have created tax cuts for every friend or supporter they have. Yes we have a spending problem but we have an even bigger taxing problem. For the Republican members of our legislature to give more weight to the pledge they swore to Grover Norquist than the Oath of Office they swore before God is Traitorous.
Taxes are the price that we all pay for our civilization. These people may pay no taxes, but they take advantage of our police, fire, courts, city, county and national infrastructure. When they pay no taxes, then we subsidize them.
People should pay according to their incomes. The wealthy should be taxed more because they have more wealth than they need. Instead of buying 10 porches for example, they could be taxed and still afford 5.
As an outsider looking into politics in the U.S. I think President Obama has done a very good job given what he was left with after 2 terms of President Bush. The problems created during Bush's terms were so extensive, debt, deregulation in finances, etc. that no one could have turned things around completely in one term. Also, look at what's happening globally. The whole world is in a deep recession. At this time I don't think there is anyone more capable in the U.S. of presiding over affairs than President Obama.
Obama For President - 2012! Support the Buffet rule - everyone should pay taxes - everyone!
Let's do the math, 47% of americans pay no federal income tax, that's over 100 million people and only ten thousand were high earners.
Scott Walker is leading by 7%, he is running on his record, class warfare is not working for democrats, people understand that obama is a failure and this kind of care2 BS is designed to take your eye off the obama record.

I wonder how many diapers Evan can buy with the six-year, $100 million extension he signed with Tampa Bay last month. The two soon to be parents began dating in February. Longoria's teammate David Price was one of the first to congratulate tweeting the following. "jaimeedmondson you were so pretty the other day! You and that lil baby bump!!! @Evan3Longoria hey geeterman"

R.C. Owens, a longtime 49ers front office man and eight-year NFL wide receiver whose impressive leaping ability earned him the nickname ''Alley Oop'' and helped popularize the phrase, has died. He was 78. The Niners, his team for the first of his five NFL seasons, announced Owens' death Monday. The team said he died Sunday and had been living in Manteca, about 75 miles east of San Francisco. The 6-foot-3 Owens, a college basketball star at the College of Idaho, also played two seasons for the Baltimore Colts and his final year with the New York Giants in 1964. He had 206 career receptions for 3,285 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also ran for a score on his lone carry. Owens was born on Nov. 12, 1933, in Shreveport, La.

Miniature Roses
Miniature roses are perfection on a small scale. They grow well indoors or out and are useful colorful plantings in areas where space is limited. Miniature Roses are represented by twiggy, repeat-flowering shrubs ranging from 6" to 36" in height, with most falling in the 12"–24" height range. Climbing varieties can reach up to 5' tall while still bearing tiny flowers. Blooms come in all the hybrid tea colors; many varieties also emulate the classic high-centered hybrid tea flower shape and can be found as single, semi-double, double or in clustered form. Miniature roses are great in containers, make lovely borders, and are perfect for those with a small yard or balcony.

Local Government Financial Impact of Oil/Gas Development
Technological advances applied to shale formations have led to a surge in oil and gas production in the United States over the past decade, with important implications for local governments. Energy Initiative Director Richard Newell and Associate in Research Daniel Raimi have been studying the financial impact to local governments from this surge in development, with the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Shale Public Finance project will produce a series of publications that describes local experiences from a variety of U.S. local governments and identifies key findings.
Local government revenues and costs associated with oil and gas production
May 2014
Our first report reviews the major revenues, costs and net fiscal impact for county and municipal governments in eight states where large increases in oil and/or gas production have recently occurred.
Oil and gas revenue allocation for local governments in eight states
October 2014
Our second report provides detailed analysis of how revenue from the oil and gas sector flows to local governments in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming.
Travel blog:
As part of our research, project team members traveled to a number of key shale gas and oil production regions around the United States, including the Bakken in North Dakota and Montana, the Marcellus in Pennsylvania, the Eagle Ford and Barnett in Texas, and the Haynesville in Louisiana. You can read about each trip on our travel blog. We are now in the second phase of this research, in which we will expand our geographic coverage to include all major U.S. oil- and gas-producing regions.

Quality Improvement Using a Sinusoidal Model in HE-AAC
In Spectral Band Replication (SBR), a tone is often restored as a noise, which results in audible distortion. In this paper, we propose an efficient way of restoring the original tones using SBR. In the proposed algorithm, the tones are identified through a sinusoidal modeling and their frequencies are adjusted within the QMF band in order to reduce the noise floor. The proposed algorithm is perfectly compatible to the standard High-Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) because it doesn¢¢ç¯t require additional information or operations in the decoding process. Output spectrograms were compared and listening tests were conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

great thread Joel...love your work
anyway... i figured i'd have a bit of a poke around with a multimeter and see what i had....
you ready
ok... i rode 400km so the bike was hot... ambient temp 28.5 according to BMW...
i got home, stopped bike went and got my meter (cheaper 'dick smith electronics' (think radio shack i suppose) that ive had for a few year...measures just about everything.. started the bike and stuck it in the accessory port next to the ignition...
idle (approx 1100-1200rpm) : 14.27v
started to rev up to 3k rpm, fan kicked in, so with fan running at 3000 rpm : 14.12v
dropped back to idle with fan still running : 13.5v
let her idle for a min or so and fan shut off...reved back to 3000rpm without fan : 14.31v
dropped here back to idle and something weird happened... all i could get was 9.8v (reving or idle...
switched here of, waited a minute, started... still could only get 9.8v
left her 5 mins, started, no fan connected meter and immediate reading was 13.8v, but this kept climbing over about 15 seconds of just iddling to 14.25v
reved to 3k, still no fan, 14.25v
so i figured i should go direct to the battery
went and fueled up so my fuel light wasnt on..
ripped the panel off, cleared away the dead bugs and fired her up again
28.0 degrees,
meter started at 13.1, but climbed constantly over about 20 seconds and stabilised at 14.31v
reved up to 3000 rpm : 14.33v
drop back to idle 14.33v (no change
then just to prove the meter would display a different number
heated grips on : 14.26v
plus high beam 13.24v
plus fan kicked in 12.64v
high beam and heated grips off, fan still on : 13.55v
fan cut out : 14.33v
there you go..

NEW YORK — New York's smallest museum has reached its capacity of three, and Nicholas Kokkinis, volunteer docent, feels obliged to amuse the waiting crowd.
He points to the museum cafe (a cappuccino machine mounted on the wall) and gift shop (postcards and pencils above the cafe), both tucked inside a 60-square-foot refurbished elevator shaft in a trash-strewn alley in Chinatown.
"In case you want to read a little bit more about our exhibit on fake vomit or our exhibition on potato chips bags from around the world, you can call the numbers on your exhibit on the phone," he says to the Japanese tourists, Brooklyn hipsters and young couples.
One visitor uses his iPhone to dial in and hear about the exhibit that lines the left wall of the museum, which includes the gold laminated sneakers of onetime porn magnate Al Goldstein. Chelsea Kasen, 24, steps back and takes a picture, making sure to include the graffiti-covered wall outside the museum.
"It's finding beauty in the unexpected," she said about the tiny space. "It looks like an abandoned alley, but in it is something you can learn from, which adds value to something that seems meaningless." (She was headed next to a club where stand-up comedians tell jokes to porcelain dolls.)
Part of New York's appeal is the eccentric things that pedestrians encounter: unicycling dog walkers, vegan drum circles, startling vistas of skyscrapers. Now there's this place, called simply Museum, which could fit in a closet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is accessible 24 hours a day.
Pedestrians often walk right past this museum, averting their eyes from the foam cups, candy wrappers and mysterious yellowish puddles that make this a typical New York alley.
During the week, its thick metal doors are closed, although visitors can see exhibits by peeking through three small windows. On the weekend, when it opens its doors, it's hard to miss. Bright light spills out, luring people to stop and peek at the walls lined with pristine shelves neatly displaying the museum's eclectic collection. Admission is free, though donations are encouraged.
The founders of Museum say their project is not meant to be quirky; their goal is to celebrate the beauty of everyday objects and the stories behind them. Part of the collection is permanent, including, they say, the shoe thrown at George W. Bush in 2008 during his visit to Iraq. Other pieces in the museum rotate because they belong to other people, including a collection of tip jars, photos of food that had been rejected from a menu in Cambodia, and the potato chip bags from around the world.
The lingering crowd on this Saturday catches the notice of James Francis Ginty, who had been aimlessly wandering the city. Ginty, who appeared in the submarine thriller "K-19: The Widowmaker" alongside Harrison Ford, thought he might be able to sneak in on a tour — of what, he did not know. When he learns the crowd is waiting to get into New York's smallest museum, an oddity in a city of oddities, he is impressed.
"This is what makes New York New York," Ginty says, peeking at the displays. "I've walked down this alley a bunch of times, but I've never seen this, never known it was here."
Just a year old, Museum has become so popular that its founders are hoping to expand next year — into another elevator shaft. The tiny salon has been blogged about by the musician David Byrne, featured in Time Out New York and even praised by Paola Antonelli, a senior curator in the architecture and design department at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
Antonelli said she saw Museum as a cousin to MoMA.
"Museum embodies the dream of the way I would like people to think about design," she said. High praise for a museum that's so easy to miss that a man was urinating near its doorstep on a recent weekday, not knowing he was a few feet from a cultural establishment.
Museum's popularity may capture something distinct about the American psyche at this moment: Because of the Internet, the bizarre and unique are more popular than ever, and quirky experiences that can be highlighted on Facebook are at a premium. Travel sites offer offbeat experiences like circus training, websites like Atlas Obscura direct the curious to unusual destinations and, at least in New York, people take classes about doomsday cults and weird spices.
"We are living in a new age of wonder," said Joshua Foer, one of the creators of Atlas Obscura. "The last great age of wonder was precipitated by the discovery that there was a whole lot more to the world than Europe. There's a way in which the Internet is now doing that again."
Explorers of generations past may have stumbled across America; today's explorers must settle for "Inner Gastronomic Offerings," a display of vomit — fake, thankfully. Call the phone line to find out about one piece, "Wendy's Went Wrong," and a highbrow British voice will explain: "Solid Midwest foundations contribute to the effectiveness of this piece. Swirling muted forms, subtly combined with strong sienna tones, call out to our carnivorous tendencies."
Everyday objects are often overlooked but tell a lot about us, said Alex Kalman, one of Museum's founders. (His father, artist Tibor Kalman, used to collect onion rings.) A display of shiny bulletproof Disney-themed backpacks featuring Winnie the Pooh and various princesses intrigues Kalman because two American companies have found a market for them.
"We believe that you can learn a lot about the world by reading newspapers, but you can also approach society from the other extreme: the smallest elements of society, the most basic things, and how they reveal what we're going through," he said. "Even if you don't understand what it means that America defaults on its loans, you can still approach America through something like Disney-themed children's bulletproof backpacks."
Kalman founded the museum with brothers Josh and Benny Safdie; the three run Red Bucket Films from a studio above Museum. Their films have focused on the world around them — the Safdie brothers are working on a movie about New York's diamond district — and the men started collecting objects during their filmmaking.
