Indulge your inner control freak with this totally obedient Evercolor Shadow Stick. Once it's on your lids, it won't come off until you say so—the creamy formula goes on smoothly but won't rub off without a high-proof makeup remover. Not only that, but it's got some serious multitasking skills: The three-in-one formula acts as a primer, shadow base, and shimmery shadow. And if you like a bolder look, you can also use it as eyeliner (so, guess that makes it four-in-one then).
I can't get enough of these eyeshadow sticks. They are so easy to apply and blend. They literally stay on all day and will stay on all night if needed. They never fade. They are amazing. The Taupe shade goes with every skin tone. It can go grey or brown, depending on what eyeliner you want to use with it. They are on in seconds, and I'm out the door looking completely polished. LUV!5
I use the taupe almost every single day, it's so flattering and easy to use. I use it by itself when I'm feeling casual but it also works really well with my other shadows when I want to dress it up. If you're going to put other shadows on top of it, I recommend giving it about a minute to set before applying anything else.5
I usually don't like shadowsticks, but I decided to give this one a shot after reading the rave reviews. I am so glad I did! I bought it for a quick fix, but I have found myself wearing it more and more lately. I have it in Champagne and it is a shimmery pale golden color. I swipe it on my lids, blend the edges, slap on a quick winged eyeliner and thats it! Its a breath of fresh air!5
I got one of these in my monthly box and additional 5 as a Christmas gift. Love the colors - nice and shimmery, but not like 5-year old shimmery. It is an excellent product on a day when you are running late in morning - it's super fast to put it on and stays on for hours!5

Book : The Noir A-Z
- The Noir A-Z
- Published in September 2009, "The Noir A-Z" is an abecedary unlike any other - an A,B,C board book that pairs word and image with all twenty-six letters of the alphabet to describe and illustrate dominant terms of the noir universe. As the pages are turned, image and word come together in twenty-six graphic incidents the viewer must tell - a visual alphabet of stories the viewer discovers, invents, or suffers - as layers are peeled back and relationships discerned. As Nick Schonberger, from Wallpaper Magazine writes: "an element of risqué and danger consumes each letter, tying the images into a loose narrative. The images are sexy. They are also just complex enough to pull emotional strings through an easily read composition. In many of the images Hibbard manages to tie the reader to the scene as active participant and not simply observer. That, in part, is the art of "The Noir A-Z" and in full, the fun of the book." - "I" might be for Innocence - but not in The Noir A-Z.
- Page Count: 64 pages
Size: 6 1/2 x 5 inches
Format: Casebound board book
Publication Date: September 2009
Availibility: Sold Out

Simple. Smile. Just smile and look in the mirror. See how attractive you are.
There are many people who do not smile. There can be many reasons why some people never smile. Among them the major reason seems to be problems with their teeth. People who have discolored, broken, jagged, uneven teeth or have teeth with caries, or have unsightly gaps are ashamed to smile. They try to smile without showing their teeth. Or simply give up smiling altogether. In return these unsmiling glum faces sour their very nature, turning them into unpleasant people.

©2004-2016 J-Duh-Muh-C
I just want to take a polaroid of her face and tape it on everybody's forehead b/c it's really all I want to see...
hello, great tattoo design, would you be willing to let someone use this?
woh, I love this!
great tattoo
nice details
nice details
way rad!
wow this is amazing!
I like the combo of sharp edges and soft curves
oh wow....i LOVE this.but would it be difficult for the design to apply on our skin since the strokes are really swift and light?
If the tattooist has the right tools, which he should if he runs a decent tattoo parlor, he should have all different sizes of sterile needles to get the job done quick and easy. If not just hit me up
i would so get that as a tatoo
Excellent design, I enjoy it
Very lovely !
I was just wondeting if it's made on computer or hand drawn ? What kind of program/paper do you use..?

Well I mess around on paper a little bit at first until I get an idea. Then I do everything on the computer, which is the process where I usually create most of the stuff you see.
this looks great like for the lower back area...
Great design

This is just...wow...this would make THE most kick-ass tattoo evah. :+fave:s it because I can't stop staring at it..._O:

GREEN CITY In the spring and summer months, pacific leatherback sea turtles arrive just outside the Golden Gate to feast on jellyfish. The turtles, which can weigh up to 1,200 pounds and live as long as a century, are some of the oldest reptiles in existence.
In a single year, a leatherback may swim 6,200 miles as it encircles the Pacific Ocean, migrating from nesting grounds as far away as Indonesia to feed off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. The leatherback was listed as a federally endangered species in 1970, and scientists now worry that the turtles could go extinct in as little as 10 years.
The ancient reptile may be rare, but its vanishing act is becoming common for marine creatures. Jackie Dragon, a campaign organizer with Pacific Environment, told us large fish populations, including bluefin tuna, Atlantic cod, marlin, and certain sharks, have declined by 90 percent since the advent of industrialized fishing in the 1950s. Meanwhile, ocean acidification due to rising carbon dioxide levels has imperiled key species, threatening to alter the food web with potentially drastic implications.
Recently, San Francisco's ocean conservationists have displayed rare optimism, however, as historic new protections for ocean ecosystems and the leatherback seem within reach.
A coalition of local environmental organizations staged a Jan. 13 event at City Hall to rally for the creation of a new, comprehensive ocean-protection policy at the federal level. Dubbed Wear Blue for Oceans Day, the event drew a crowd of around 75 who donned blue in support of the federal policy, put forth by President Barack Obama last June.
Under the current regulatory system, there are 140 different laws relating to ocean management, and more than 20 disparate agencies, according to Dragon. "They have varying purposes and often conflicting mandates," she explained. "Right now, it's inconsistent with a healthy future for the ocean to have a piecemeal approach. And it's absolutely necessary to appreciate that ecosystems in the ocean depend on a kind of management that takes into consideration the fact that these habitats ... need to be looked at from a broader perspective."
According to an interim report drafted by a 23-member task force convened by Obama to make suggestions for crafting a federal policy, the new approach would place ecosystem protection at the heart of regulatory decisions. Environmentalists hope it will improve the overall health of oceans.
The task force is scheduled to submit its final recommendations to Obama in early February, and the president is expected to announce the creation of the new policy shortly afterward. "The importance of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems cannot be overstated," the report notes. "Simply put, we need them to survive." Climate change and ocean acidification are named as top priorities.
A second regulatory victory seems imminent for the Sea Turtle Restoration Project, a San Francisco-based environmental organization that joined Oceana, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Turtle Island Restoration Network in pressing for expanded critical habitat designation for the pacific leatherback turtles in 2007.
The groups sued the National Marine Fisheries Service, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for failing to take action for two years. Following a settlement, the agency finally submitted its proposal Jan. 5 for a new protection zone. The critical habitat area would span some 70,000 square miles of open waters along the West Coast.

Concentrational changes of the fluorescence quantum yield and emission anisotropy were measured for rhodamine 6G (donor) in the presence of malachite green (acceptor) in glycerin—alcohol solutions, excited in the anti-Stokes and Stokes regions. Reduction of the nonradiative energy transfer efficiency in the case of anti-Stokes excitation was observed. The results of measurements proved to be in good agreement with the theory [10] which allows for a multistep mechanism from donor to acceptor energy transfer for Stokes as well as anti-Stokes excitation. However, in the latter case this agreement could have been obtained for a clearly lower value of the absolute donor fluorescence yield.

CNN Poll: Majority of Americans Back the Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline as Barack Obama Vows to Veto It if Passed
Shocker, Barack Obama once against doing something against the will of the American people …
A recent CNN poll shows that a majority of Americans are in favor of the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. A resounding 57% are in favor of building the 1,179 mile Canada to Texas pipeline, while only 28% oppose. Of course you already know what side of the fence Barack Obama takes on this matter. Obama continues to pander to the environmental wackos and facing no more elections, once again goes against the will of the American people. No matter how many jobs, permanent ones, part time or otherwise are created by this oil pipeline project, the fact of the matter is that jobs will be created. This is a bad thing how? But Obama will tell you he wants to create jobs for the American people. Really? Even though Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of the building of the Keystone XL pipeline, the House has passed the construction of it, Obama has vowed to veto the bill. Yeah, he really cares about putting people to work.
Poll Question: Based on what you have read or heard, do you favor or oppose building the Keystone XL pipeline?
A majority of Americans favor the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline — a result that could give Republicans a boost as they move toward a showdown with President Barack Obama over the project — a CNN/ORC poll has found.
The 1,179-mile Canada-to-Texas pipeline is backed by 57% of the 1,011 Americans surveyed on Dec. 18-21. Just 28% oppose it, while 15% say they are unsure.
The controversial project has become the subject of a battle between liberal environmentalists who argue it would contribute to global warming and conservatives who say it would create jobs and help the United States break away from Middle Eastern oil.
President Barack Obama has threatened to veto a measure that the Senate is set to vote on as soon as next week, which would end the State Department's six-year-old review of the project and authorize its construction immediately. Obama has said he objects to the decision-making process being removed from the executive branch.
Not only do 57% back the construction of the pipeline, in the same CNN poll, as reported at The Daily Caller, "a majority of those polled, at 57 percent, say global warming will not pose a serious threat to their way of life," and that only 43 percent "expect global warming to threaten them."

Darren Wilson Resigns from Ferguson Police Department To Protect Fellow Police Officers
Less than one week after police officer Darren Wilson was not indicted by a grand jury in the shooting death of Michael Brown, Darren Wilson has officially resigned for the Ferguson, Missouri police department. It had been previously reported that Wilson was in talks with the police department to resign. But, thanks to the efforts of those with an agenda who refused to listen or care about the facts of the shooting, their efforts to persecute officer Wilson and get their pound of flesh forced him out of his job. Too bad the trouble makers and race-baiters and "vultures" could not be forced out of their jobs as well.
Citing threats of violence, Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, resigned from the Ferguson Police Department on Saturday.
Wilson, 28, whom a St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict in connection with the shooting, had worked for the city's police department for six years.
In a telephone interview Saturday evening, Wilson said he resigned after the police department told him it had received threats that violence would ensue if he remained an employee.
"I'm resigning of my own free will," he said. "I'm not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me."
He said resigning was "the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
Darren Wilson's resignation letter reads, in part:
"I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal."
Sadly, it is bias headlines and reporting like this from NBC that is partially the reason why Wilson had to resign. But what else should we expect from the lying, agenda driven MSM?
As reported at the NY Times, Adolphus Pruitt, of the NAACP's St. Louis chapter, said the resignation "not only fulfills one of the demands of the protesters, but also provides for one of the steps necessary for the wholesale reconstructions of law enforcement in Ferguson."

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Says Dems Screwed Up Passing Obamacare … "Democrats Blew the Opportunity the American People Gave Them" in 2008 and "Put All of Our Focus on the Wrong Problem"
Speaking Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, New York Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer had an epiphany and stated that "Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them" after the 2008 election. Schumer went on to say that, "We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem, health care reform." Gee, ya think? Sen. Schumer was one of the 60 Democrat senators who passed Obamacare, with not one GOP vote, and forced the unpopular law down the throats of Americans. Now suddenly because as we predicted back then, it would be their undoing, Schumer has misgivings that Democrats focused on it first and did not focus on what Americans were dealing with on a day to day basis, a poor economy and unemployment. Schumer told those in attendance "that considering 85% of all Americans got their health care from either the government, Medicare, Medicaid, or their employer … we would still only be talking about only 5% of the electorate." Wasn't that the same argument that those opposed to Obamacare were making in 2009? Why blow up the healthcare system in the United States for only 5% of the people? This is a kin to demolishing a house because the back porch needs repair. Not only did Democrats not listen to the people, the law they forced upon them was nothing more than a lie.
Democrats made a strategic mistake by passing the Affordable Care Act, Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the third-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, said Tuesday.
Schumer says Democrats "blew the opportunity the American people gave them" in the 2008 elections, a Democratic landslide, by focusing on healthcare reform instead of legislation to boost the middle class.
But why is Sen. Schumer talking about the Democrats disastrous decision to pass Obamacare now, is it because they have buyer's remorse and care about the American people? Not at all, it is because they have taken a political shellacking in 2010 and 2014 and now find themselves in the minority in the House and the Senate. It all has to do with power, not the people. Honestly, who in their right mind thought that an unpopular bill that adversely affected so many people to only benefit a few would not have ramifications? If Democrats could not see that, then they deserve what they got.

Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): After passing the stimulus, Democrats should have continued to propose middle-class oriented programs and built on the partial success of the stimulus. But unfortunately, Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them. We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem — health care reform. Now the plight of uninsured Americans and the hardships caused by unfair insurance company practices certainly needed to be addressed, but it was not the change we were hired to make. Americans were crying out for the end to the recession, for better wages and more jobs, not changes in health care.
This makes sense, considering 85% of all Americans got their health care from either the government, Medicare, Medicaid, or their employer. And if health care costs were going up, it really did not affect them. The Affordable Care Act was aimed at the 36 million Americans who were not covered. It has been reported that only a third of the uninsured are even registered to vote. In 2010 only about 40% of those registered voting. So even if the uninsured kept with the rate, which they likely did not, we would still only be talking about only 5% of the electorate.
To aim a huge change in mandate at such a small percentage of the electorate made no political sense. So when Democrats focused on health care, the average middle-class person thought the Democrats are not paying enough attention to me. Again, our health care system was riddled with unfairness and inefficiency. It was a problem desperately in need of fixing. The changes that were made are and will continue to be positive changes, but we would have been better able to address it if Democrats had first proposed and passed bold programs aimed at a broader swath of the middle class.
Had we started more broadly, the middle class would have been more receptive to the idea that President Obama wanted to help them. The initial faith they placed in him would have been rewarded. They would have held a more pro-government view and would have given him the permission structure to build a more pro-government coalition. Then Democrats would have been in a better position to tackle our nation's healthcare crisis.
Healthcare, it wasn't at the top of the agenda for middle class people …
"We should have done it, we just should not have done it first". People were hurting and said, what about me, I am losing my job. It's not health care that is bothering me."
EXIT QUESTION: So why is Sen. Charles Schumer making these comments about Obamacare? Maybe because Schumer does not want to be the next on the list of 29 Democrat Senators who are no longer in the US Senate who voted for Obamacare.
Remember When Emperor Barack Obama Said He Did Not Have the Power to Take Executive Action on Immigration?
Not only does the Emperor have no clothes, he has no credibility and no Constitutional authority …
Remember when Emperor Barack Obama said the following:
- "I take the Constitution very seriously, the biggest problems that we facing right now is George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that is what I intend to reverse when I am President of the United States of America."
- "There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system."
- "For me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president."
- "With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case."
- "There are laws on the books that I have to enforce".
- "If in fact I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so."
- "This notion that I can change laws unilaterally is just not true".
Really Mr. President? Because last night when you announced your executive order on immigration, you pretty much did a 180 on every single previous remark you have ever made on the issue. So much for the rule of law and the US Constitution. If Barack Obama cared so much about these families and even went so far to cite scripture, why didn't he do it sooner? Just curious, does Obama care about the American legal citizens whose families are about t be affected by this influx? How about all the people who came to the United States legally?
VIDEO Hat Tip: Washington Free Beacon
The president will also announce plans to shift enforcement efforts, ordering federal law enforcement officers to narrow their focus to those illegal immigrants with criminal records, gang affiliations or ties to terrorism.
And Obama will expand the total number of high-tech visas that are available, as well as loosen restrictions so that more would-be entrepreneurs can travel legally to the United States to launch companies.
The president and other Cabinet and senior administration officials plan to "fan out" across the country over the coming weeks in order to promote the executive actions, according to one aide.
The moves are all aimed at "bringing some accountability to our broken immigration system," a senior administration official said Thursday.
The biggest change to the immigration system will be a new program that allows the parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply for work permits and deferred deportation.
An estimated 4 million parents will be eligible for the initiative. They are people who have been in the United States for at least five years and have no felony convictions but are currently in the country illegally.
Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC on Barack Obama's Immigration Plan (VIDEO) … "I Haven't Found a Single Elected Democrat in Washington" that Can Legally Justify It
This does not happen very often, a host at MSNBC has a lucid moment. Although he bypassed many parts of Barack Obama's intended immigration changes, even though they are Unconstitutional, Lawrence O'Donnell questioned his panel to give him the legal justification. O'Donnell states, I have not found a single elected Democrat in Washington that could give me the legal justification that allows Obama to do this. You know it is mad when even MSNBC questions a Democrat president.
Barack Obama Wrote in his 2006 Autobiography, 'The Audacity of Hope' … An Influx of Illegal Immigrants Will harm "the Wages of Blue-Collar Americans" & "Put Strains on an Already Overburdened Safety Net."
The below statements are not from Conservative or GOP critics of Barack Obama's amnesty plan. They are not of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham or anyone at Fox News. They are in fact the words of Sen. Barack Obama in 2006 when he was running for president and penned his autobiography, 'The Audacity of Hope'. Obama admits that such a large influx of low-skilled workers would threaten to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net. That was then and this is now, what changed? Obama wants to sign an executive order that would allow this to happen. So does Obama not care about black people? Blacks already have an more than double the rate of white unemployment rate. Does he not care about blue collar workers?
I wrote what, its so hard to keep the lies straight?
"There's no denying that many blacks share the same anxieties as many whites about the wave of illegal immigration flooding our Southern border—a sense that what's happening now is fundamentally different from what has gone on before," then-Senator Obama wrote in his 2006 autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream."
"Not all these fears are irrational."
"The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century," Obama noted. "If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole—especially by keeping our workforce young, in contrast to an increasingly geriatric Europe and Japan—it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net."

Hey Hispanic voters, La Raza and the rest, did you read this … Obama also reveals that he personally feels "patriotic resentment" when he sees Mexican flags at immigration rallies. Hmm, is Barack Obama a racist?
"And if I'm honest with myself, I must admit that I'm not entirely immune to such nativist sentiments," Obama wrote. "When I see Mexican flags waved at pro-immigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I'm forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration."
Obama Just Doesn't Care What Americans Think, He is That Out of Touch … President Barack Obama Says That He & Team Obama Did Not Succeed in Effectively Selling His Policies
Barack Obama, the American people just don't know the good things I have done for them …
In an interview this weekend with Bob Schieffer on CBS's 'Face the Nation,' Barack Hussein Obama said that he took responsibility for the disastrous midterm election loses by Democrats last Tuesday and the "Buck stops with him". Well kinda, there will be no confusing Obama with Harry S. Truman as a leader taking responsibility for his actions, policies and agenda. As reported at the NY Times Obama said, "that he and his White House team had not succeeded in effectively selling the benefits of his policies to the American people." HUH? Then the out of touch Obama said, "It's not enough just to build a better mousetrap, We've got to sell it." WHAT? Barack Obama has yet to lead as president during his previous 6 years, all he has done is campaign and try to sell his snake oil. This fool actually believes his policies are good and the American people are just too stupid to realize their benefits, because he and Team Obama have not properly bull-shitted them. UNREAL. This president actually thinks his policies are good for Americans, even though all the signs show otherwise. As former Florida House Rep. Allen West said back in 2012, "Barack Obama is serving America a crap sandwich with a smile on his face … But it's still a crap sandwich."
Just days after his party was routed in the midterm elections, President Obama said that he and his White House team had not succeeded in effectively selling the benefits of his policies to the American people, calling it a "failure of politics" that he must change in the final two years of his presidency.
"It's not enough just to build a better mousetrap," Mr. Obama said in an interview that was taped Friday at the White House and broadcast Sunday on the 60th anniversary of CBS's "Face the Nation" program. "People don't automatically come beating to your door. We've got to sell it. We've got to reach out to the other side and, where possible, persuade."
Mr. Obama acknowledged bluntly that "we got beat" in the elections on Tuesday and said that the Democratic losses prompted him to have a "gut check" about what he needed to do differently. But as he has in the past, the president defended the merits of his administration's policies, blaming the election results on a poor communications effort in the White House.
"There are times, there's no doubt about it, where, you know I think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we're trying to do and why this is the right direction," Mr. Obama said.
Discussion of the 2014 midterm "ass-whuppin" begins at 3:52.
CBS – Face the Nation Transcript: [SM editors notes in blue]
BOB SCHIEFFER: I want to get back to foreign policy but I also want to ask you about what happened on Tuesday.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We got beaten.
BOB SCHIEFFER: Yeah. Harry Truman once famously said if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. [Where is Bo these days?] And I thought of that when I heard the chief of staff of the Democratic leader of the Senate, Harry Reid say and this is his quote, "The President's approval rating is basically forty percent. What else more is there to say?" He's basically saying it was your fault. Do you feel it was your fault?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well, look, another saying of Harry Truman's was, the buck stops with me. With me, the buck stops right here at my desk. And so whenever, as the head of the party, it doesn't do well, I've got to take responsibility for it. The message that I took from this election and we've seen this in a number of elections, successive elections, is people want to see this city work. [So the message Obama took is that people want to see DC to work, that is why they soundly rejected Democrats, the GOP gained more House seats, won what will be a net 9 US Senate seats in gaining control and governorships in states like Mass, Illinois and Delaware? So in order for Washington to work the people said we want GOP control and policies.] And they feel as if it's not working. The economy has improved significantly. [Really the economy has improved? A record number of Americans are on food stamps, the job participation rate is at an all-time low and Americans who had lost their well-paying full time jobs have replaced them with part time and ones paying much, much less. Sorry Barack, Americans know the economy is not better.] There's no doubt about it. We had a jobs report for October that showed that once again over two hundred thousand jobs created. [Tell some one now making $15 an hour when they previously made $30 that their new job is fantastic]. We've now created more than ten million. The unemployment rate has come down faster than we could have anticipated. Just to give you some perspective, Bob, we've created more jobs in the United States than every other advanced economy combined since I came into office. And so we're making progress but people still feel like their wages haven't gone up, their incomes haven't gone up, still hard to save for retirement, still hard to send a kid to college. And then they see Washington gridlocked and they're frustrated. And, you know, they know one person in Washington and that's the President of the United States. So I've got to make this city work better for them. [No, you and your socialist policies need to get out of the way for the US economy to flourish.]
BOB SCHIEFFER: But is it what you thought it would be?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: You know, here– here is one thing that I will say that campaigning and governance are two different things. I've ran two successful campaigns. [No, you rode to victory in 2008 on the myth that you were a different kind of politician and were aided by an all too willing MSM that refused to vet you. Then in 2012, you stole the election visa-vie the IRS attacking conservative non-profit groups. Then there are the numeous scandals like Benghazi-gate where the Obama administration purposely lied to the American people as to what happened prior to the 2012 presidential election]. And anybody who has seen me on the campaign trail can tell how much I love just being with the American people. And hearing what they care about and what– you know how passionate I am about trying to help them. When you start governing, there is a tendency sometimes for me to start thinking. As long as I get the policy right then that's what should matter. And, you know, people have asked, you know, what you need to do differently going forward and I think you do that, you got to check after every election.
BOB SCHIEFFER: What do you need to do differently?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: And I think that one thing that I do need to constantly remind myself and my team are is it's not enough just to build the better mousetrap. [What a fitting term, mousetraps kill things.] People don't automatically come beating to your door. We've got to sell it, we've got to reach out to the other side and where possible persuade. And I think there are times, there's no doubt about it where, you know, I think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we are trying to do and why this is the right direction. So there– there is a failure of politics there that we have got– we got to improve on. [How long have they had to sell Obamacare, the Obama economy and his agenda? What do they need, another 20 years? They people do not need to be sold anything, they experience it every day.]
BOB SCHIEFFER: What criticisms of your administration do you think are valid?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well, I just mentioned one. I think that what is also true is that, you know, no matter how frustrating it can sometimes be for any President to deal with an opposition that has, yeah, pretty stubborn, and where there are really strong differences, you just got to keep on trying. [Code for, I just following the teachings of Saul Alinsky and double down on my failed, hated policies].
The folks at 'This is Spinal Tap' weigh in on the Obama presidency … The review on Shark sandwich is pretty much the same as the one for the Obama agenda, and yes, they can say that.

Hillary Clinton Tries to Spin Her Way Out of her Far Left, Anti-Business Comments
Sorry Team Hillary … One does not misspeak when they opening say and believe, "Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses create jobs."
Team Hillary Clinton and her spin doctors were in full backtracking mode on Monday following Hillary's comment last Friday while stumping for Democrat Massachusetts gubnitorial candidate Martha Coakley in Boston, MA … "Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses create jobs." Her aids try to say that she'd misspoken and hadn't intended to deliver a fresh economic policy message. HUH? Hillary Clinton said what she said against businesses and it was pretty clear what she said and what she intended. There was no talk of tax breaks or this Monday morning quarterbacking that Team Hillary is trying to do. As opined at The Daily Caller, "I Didn't Mean What I Very Clearly Said, Again." Do we really need another president who cant be trusted in what they say?
Who are you going to believe, Hillary or your lying eyes and ears?
Hillary Clinton on Monday mopped up her botched statement from a rally in Massachusetts last week, making it clear she'd misspoken and hadn't intended to deliver a fresh economic policy message.
Clinton's cleanup came as she campaigned with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in Somers, about 90 minutes north of New York City, after two days in which Republicans bandied the likely White House candidate's Friday comment, made in the context of talking about trickle-down economics, on social media and the single sentence began gaining traction.
A Clinton aide later said the former secretary of state had meant to talk about tax breaks for corporations and businesses in that sentence, which led into a line about how trickle-down economics had "failed spectacularly" — a sentiment she has long held. The overall context was clear that she had left words out of a sentence; the comment made little sense without it.
But some Democrats who back Clinton said privately she appeared to be trying too hard to capture the Warren rhetoric and adjust to the modern economic progressive language — much in the way President Barack Obama did during a campaign rally in 2012, when, discussing businesses' relationships to the infrastructure of cities, he said, "You didn't build that."
But in the end, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, the MSM will protect and carry the water for Hillary, if she decided to run for president, no different than they did for Barack Obama.

Hillary Clinton: "Don't Let Anybody Tell You It's Corporations and Businesses That Create Jobs" as She Stumps for Martha Coakley for Mass Governor
(Bumped for importance)
At an event Friday in Boston, Mass stumping for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley, Hillary Clinton told the crowd gathered at the Park Plaza Hotel rally … "Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses create jobs." Okay Hillary, then who does create jobs, the government? Seriously Hillary, since you brought the subject up, who does create jobs if it is not corporations and businesses? Wake up America, Hillary Clinton is a socialist just like Barack Obama. Can the United States survive another liberal, socialist, Democrat president who despises business?
"Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses create jobs," Clinton said.
"You know that old theory, 'trickle-down economics,'" she continued. "That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly."
The real story might be is that Hillary Clinton needed to come to the blue, blue state of Massachusetts in the first place. Currently according to RCP, Democrat and uber-lib Martha Coakley trails in the polls to Republican candidate Charlie Baker by 4.5%. However, a very recent Boston Globe poll has Baker up by 9 points over Coakley.
UPDATE I: Hey Hillary … You might want to listen to Ronald Reagan talk about business and jobs, maybe you will learn something.
Well, wouldn't it be nice to hear a little more about the forgotten heroes of America — those who create most of our new jobs, like the owners of stores down the street; the faithfuls who support our churches, synagogues, schools, and communities; the brave men and women everywhere who produce our goods, feed a hungry world, and keep our families warm while they invest in the future to build a better America?

One in Four Americans Between the Ages of 25 – 54 Not Working
From The Weekly Standard comes the following … 1 in 4 Americans betwwen the ages of 25 and 54 are not working. Add this to the record number of Americans on food stamps and claiming disabilities. And then there is black unemployment that is soaring. Of course this is how you create a dependent government class of people, make the welfare state their only source of income. It is disgusting how this government gets in the way of business. If it is not a business they approve of, they will squash it.
A new chart from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee shows a startling fact: Almost 1 in 4 Americans between the ages of 25-54 (or prime working years) are not working.
Here's a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million) and those who aren't (28.9 million):
"There are 124.5 million Americans in their prime working years (ages 25–54). Nearly one-quarter of this group—28.9 million people, or 23.2 percent of the total—is not currently employed. They either became so discouraged that they left the labor force entirely, or they are in the labor force but unemployed. This group of non-employed individuals is more than 3.5 million larger than before the recession began in 2007," writes the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee.

Grand day out:
This year's theme is 'Cornerstones of our Communities."
St. Pat's Parade organizers gathered at Kitty Hoynes in Armory Square this morning to announce this year's Grand Marshals.
Janet Higgins, President of the Parade, said, "The three cornerstones who have been chosen, exemplify all that is good about our community."
This big three are Monsignor Joseph Champlin, Sister Kathleen Osbelt and Reverend John Schopfer, all grand in spirit and vision.
Higgins said, Monsignor Champlin was not present due to illness, but hopes to gather his strength for March. He is a writer and also founded the Guardian Angel Society. Sister Kathleen Osbelt is the founder of Francis House, and Reverend John Schopfer who ministers to those on the southwest side of the city and is credited as the founder of the Brady Faith Center.
Schopfer said on a day like today his father would have been out delivering the mail as usual, it is in that spirit he accepted the honor of the role as one of the Grand Marshals in this trinity.

This is really excellent!
Very well done.
Your style is beautiful!
Nice work! It took me a while to notice the thing has arms/legs. It looks like just a tree with a face, but now I see it's a whole monster camouflaged as trees. I also like your style of inking, and the way the leaves and plants sort of become a frame. It reminds me of children's books from the olden days.
evil forrest, i like it!
Your works are so intricate! Love the colors as well.
I imagine the little girl is either the creator or the best friend of the tree behind her

10 Celeb Moms & Their Advice on Pregnancy and Baby Weight (Photos)TheMommyologist
Whenever one of my friends gets pregnant for the very first time, usually one of the first things she asks me is either how to survive the pregnancy without losing her mind, or how to shed those pesky post-baby pounds!
My answers to these questions are something along the lines of: a.) relax and enjoy yourself and don't feel bad about being selfish while you are pregnant, and b.) don't put too much pressure on yourself about losing the weight…just enjoy the baby and the pounds will come off when they're supposed to.
Many celebrity moms seem to handle pregnancy and losing baby weight with ease, so it's always interesting to hear their advice and tips on the subjects.
Gwyneth Paltrow had some great advice for how to handle pregnancy back when she was expecting daughter Apple. She used a holistic doctor and said, "Understanding what was happening was a big help. Then, when I felt a little hand or elbow or something, it was amazing – even if a bit of a shock, as if there's an alien in your stomach."
With regards to losing baby weight, Gwyneth's advice was, "You have to exercise to get it all back. It was tough, very tough. So it was that and blusher and a girdle!"
To hear advice from 9 other celeb moms about pregnancy and post-baby weight loss, take a look at the photos below.
Photos: PRPhotos
Victoria Beckham 1 of 9"Pregnancy tip!!!! I have used this through every pregnancy, it's amazing!!" (Referring to Elemis oil for preventing stretch marks).
Jennifer Garner 2 of 9"While I'm very good about caffeine, I am also not afraid once or twice a pregnancy to have a half-caf latte. Today is one of those days."
Cate Blanchett 3 of 9"I refuse to worry about all that fitness stuff. Being a mother is exercise enough for me."
Julia Roberts 4 of 9"My stomach was enormous and the bigger it got the smaller my a** looked so I kind of enjoyed it. I felt great." (Don't sweat the small stuff)!
Catherine Zeta-Jones 5 of 9"During pregnancy I tried to eat well to keep up my energy levels. Three meals a day, a nice mixed diet."
Courteney Cox 6 of 9"'I practise Budokon. It's a fitness regime that includes yoga and martial arts, a mind-body workout. It's a combination of meditation, stretching and cardio exercises that develop strength and flexibility. I also found that breast-feeding helped."
Sarah Jessica Parker 7 of 9"I stopped looking at myself in the mirror because it was so odd for me. I thought it was so odd to see myself with a bump."
Elizabeth Hurley 8 of 9"'I ate steamed fish and brown rice and hit the treadmill to lose the 53 pounds I'd gained with Damian. I absolutely killed myself to shed that weight."
Debra Messing 9 of 9"'I did yoga all the way through, then just going to the gym is the best thing. Get a good babysitter - that's my advice."

Max Hardcore Videos Favorite
Picture courtesy of
The latest movie featuring Max Hardcore is Analtown U.S.A. #8.Max Hardcore is the nom de porn of Paul Little, an actor director of some of adult's roughest and most controversial porn. Often delving into areas considered off-limits by more mainstream porn producers, Hardcore has built a nearly schizophrenic reputation as both a no-holds-barred performer but also as one of the industry's nicest people. A Wisconsin native, Hardcore was born on August 10, 1956 and wears a trademark white cowboy hat in almost all of his films and personal appearances; his movies often feature very young performers and taboo activities, and have attracted the attention of obscenity prosecutors on more than one occasion.

The problem is that a monopoly always protects itself. The teachers' unions and many Democratic politicians, who receive their campaign contributions, oppose school choice, which would improve not only public schools, but also the chances of poor and minority children to have a better life. The current approach appears to be to keep disadvantaged children in underperforming schools so that underperforming teachers keep their jobs and the politicians they support keep theirs. As long as the monopoly survives, we can expect more cheating and corner-cutting and less real achievement for children who ought to be everyone's first concern.
Instead, as Atlanta would suggest, public school children are subject to all manner of manipulation and disservice by people charged with educating them. Perhaps if parents had the freedom to send their children to a school they believed would offer them a better shot at true success they would fare better. Could school choice be the answer?
Indiana thinks so. Last week, the state's Supreme Court upheld a voucher program that gives poor and middle-class families access to tax dollars to help them pay private school tuition. Parents should decide where their children go to school.
It's not the children who cannot achieve. It's the system that fails them. "Our schools desperately need to be fixed," writes Robinson. "But creating a situation in which teachers are more likely than students to cheat cannot be the right path. ... Students are not widgets. I totally reject the idea that students from underprivileged neighborhoods cannot learn. Of course they can."
Authorities should pursue investigations of alleged cheating by teachers and school administrators. Meanwhile, for this and many other reasons, the school choice movement is gaining strength. It is seen by increasing numbers of Americans as the best way to prevent cheating children out of the decent education they deserve.

We track four people on their journey.
The murky world of Cambodian news
31 May 2011 13:30 GMT
Stephen S. Roach is Non Executive Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia and author of The Next Asia.
The China doubters are back in force. They seem to come in waves - every few years, or so. Yet, year in and year out, China has defied the naysayers and stayed the course, perpetuating the most spectacular development miracle of modern times. That seems likely to continue.
Today's feverish hand-wringing reflects a confluence of worries - especially concerns about inflation, excess investment, soaring wages, and bad bank loans. Prominent academics warn that China could fall victim to the dreaded "middle-income trap", which has derailed many a developing nation.
There is a kernel of truth to many of the concerns cited above, especially with respect to the current inflation problem. But they stem largely from misplaced generalisations. Here are ten reasons why it doesn't pay to diagnose
There is a kernel of truth to many of the concerns cited above, especially with respect to the current inflation problem. But they stem largely from misplaced generalisations. Here are ten reasons why it doesn't pay to diagnose the Chinese economy by drawing inferences from the experiences of others:
Strategy Since 1953, China has framed its macro objectives in the context of five-year plans, with clearly defined targets and policy initiatives designed to hit those targets. The recently enacted 12th Five-Year Plan could well be a strategic turning point - ushering in a shift from the highly successful producer model of the past 30 years to a flourishing consumer society.
Commitment Seared by memories of turmoil, reinforced by the Cultural Revolution of the 1970s, China's leadership places the highest priority on stability. Such a commitment served China extremely well in avoiding collateral damage from the crisis of 2008-2009. It stands to play an equally important role in driving the fight against inflation, asset bubbles, and deteriorating loan quality.
Wherewithal to deliverChina's commitment to stability has teeth. More than 30 years of reform have unlocked its economic dynamism. Enterprise and financial market reforms have been key, and many more reforms are coming. Moreover, China has shown itself to be a good learner from past crises, and shifts course when necessary.
SavingA domestic saving rate in excess of 50 per cent has served China well. It funded the investment imperatives of economic development and boosted the cushion of foreign exchange reserves that has shielded China from external shocks. China now stands ready to absorb some of that surplus saving to promote a shift toward internal demand.
Rural-urban migrationOver the past 30 years, the urban share of the Chinese population has risen from 20 per cent to 46 per cent. According to OECD estimates, another 316 million people should move from the countryside to China's cities over the next 20 years. Such an unprecedented wave of urbanisation provides solid support for infrastructure investment and commercial and residential construction activity. Fears of excess investment and "ghost cities" fixate on the supply side, without giving due weight to burgeoning demand.
Low-hanging fruit: ConsumptionPrivate consumption accounts for only about 37 per cent of China's GDP - the smallest share of any major economy. By focusing on job creation, wage increases, and the social safety net, the 12th Five-Year Plan could spark a major increase in discretionary consumer purchasing power. That could lead to as much as a five per cent point increase in China's consumption share by 2015.
Low-hanging fruit: ServicesServices account for just 43 per cent of Chinese GDP - well below global norms. Services are an important piece of China's pro-consumption strategy - especially large-scale transactions-based industries such as distribution (wholesale and retail), domestic transportation, supply-chain logistics, and hospitality and leisure. Over the next five years, the services share of Chinese GDP could rise above the currently targeted four per cent point increase. This is a labour-intensive, resource-efficient, environmentally friendly growth recipe - precisely what China needs in the next phase of its development.
Foreign direct investmentModern China has long been a magnet for global multinational corporations seeking both efficiency and a toehold in the world's most populous market. Such investments provide China with access to modern technologies and management systems - a catalyst to economic development. China's upcoming pro-consumption rebalancing implies a potential shift in foreign direct investment - away from manufacturing toward services - that could propel growth further.
EducationChina has taken enormous strides in building human capital. The adult literacy rate is now almost 95 per cent, and secondary school enrolment rates are up to 80 per cent. Shanghai's 15-year-old students were recently ranked first globally in mathematics and reading as per the standardised PISA metric. Chinese universities now graduate more than 1.5 million engineers and scientists annually. The country is well on its way to a knowledge-based economy.
InnovationIn 2009, about 280,000 domestic patent applications were filed in China, placing it third globally, behind Japan and the United States. China is fourth and rising in terms of international patent applications. At the same time, China is targeting a research-and-development share of GDP of 2.2 per cent by 2015 - double the ratio in 2002. This fits with the 12th Five-Year Plan's new focus on innovation-based "strategic emerging industries" - energy conservation, new-generation information technology, biotechnology, high-end equipment manufacturing, renewable energy, alternative materials, and autos running on alternative fuels. Currently, these seven industries account for three per cent of Chinese GDP; the government is targeting a 15 per cent share by 2020, a significant move up the value chain.
Yale historian Jonathan Spence has long cautioned that the West tends to view China through the same lens as it sees itself. Today's cottage industry of China doubters is a case in point. Yes, by our standards, China's imbalances are unstable and unsustainable. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has, in fact, gone public with a similar critique.
But that's why China is so different. It actually takes these concerns seriously. Unlike the West, where the very concept of strategy has become an oxymoron, China has embraced a transitional framework aimed at resolving its sustainability constraints. Moreover, unlike the West, which is trapped in a dysfunctional political quagmire, China has both the commitment and the wherewithal to deliver on that strategy. This is not a time to bet against China.

Keokuk Mayor Wants State Help w/ Pensions By Jason Parrott • Feb 28, 2013 One southeast Iowa mayor knows how Iowa can spend some of its "extra" money. Keokuk to Help Port Authority By Jason Parrott • Aug 7, 2012 The Keokuk City Council will help fund the Southeast Iowa Regional Economic and Port Authority (SIREPA). Keokuk, Fort Madison and Lee County are the original members of the authority, which is Iowa's first and only port authority. The Lee County Economic Development Group has been providing operational and administrative services for SIREPA, but the organization now wants to hire the Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission. The authority does not have a regular income stream at this point, so it needs help to pay for such services.
