I copied this post from the comments from the California version of this same Generator. This guy is right on in his comments.8/31/2012 By McBrew from Annapolis, MDPros: Easy to start, Inexpensive, Relatively Quiet, Easy to start, Seems well built Cons: Hard To Find Wheel KitBest Uses: Camping, Household Backup PowerRunning power toolsHere are some tips:It seems like there are a lot of complaints here, so I wanted to address something:First, regardless of the breakers, the gen is only going to put out its maximum power... No more.Second, these types of generators, although outfitted with a 240v outlet, are really twin 120v generators. Each leg of the gen is capable of delivering 1600 watts. So, even though it is a "3200 watt" generator, you cannot get more than 1600 watts per leg. Make sure you split up your loads between the two outlets on the gen... Don't expect to get the full rating from one outlet... It cannot happen.Running your fridge and a window AC unit? Run One on each outlet... Then split up smaller loads (TV, lights, etc.) between the two as best you can.This is a fantastic gen for the price. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friendMy comments: McBrew is correct! This gen has two output 120 volt legs or circuits each properly fused @13 amps. There are two 120v circuits each producing 1600 watts. (1600/120volts= 13.3amps) Now, double the numbers: two 120 volt circuits each at 1600 watts x 2= the running watts of this generator of 3200 watts (26.6 amps) total.There is a reserve MOMENTARY Power of 400 watts per circuit to start motors of small A/C units, a fridge or freezer, drill, etc. So, 400 watts x 2 circuits = 800 + 3200= 4000 watts max mommentary power output. Period, there is no more.If you exceed the 1600 watts on either circuit the engine will surge to provide reserve power of up to 2000 watts. If this 2000 watt power draw remains constant, the gen will be in overload condition and the gen and internal wiring begins to heat up. Heat causes resistance where it takes more power for the watts to be pushed thru the internal wiring. So, a 1500 elec heater and a 500 watt work light would pull 2000 watts / 120 volts = 16.6 amps. (Max is 13.3A) As heat builds within the unit voltage drops to 114 volts and amprage increases. So, 2,000 watt draw on one circuit / 114 volts = 17.5 amps or 4.5 amps over the capacity of the 13 amp breakers. POP! The wiring inside the panel appears to be #16 wire. Under good conditions it will carry 13 amps matching the rated breakers. If a breaker fails to break the circuit flow, heat builds until a wire burns inside the gen or the panel. The same heat damage can occur running appliances at a lower than rated voltage. No Juice now. The manual is not clear on this issue. FYI.Hint: Take a felt marker and mark the left duplex recepticle as circuit A and the right one as B. Also, know the A recep shares power output with the 9 o'clock slot on the ROUND 240v recep so mark it A. The B recep shares power with the 3 o'clock slot. Mark it B. However, the watt capacity of the shared recepts is still 1600. Balance loads and tracking wattage of all equipment running is essential on thses units as overload damage is not covered by the warranty as explained on page 11 & 12 of the manual. The manual is confusing on page 12 where the 3200/4000 numbers are for total gen 2 circuit output. 1/2 those numbers for a single receptical capacity. As Mcbrew stated, you cannot obtain 3200 watts or 4000 watts from any single circuit of A or B for a rated 120 volt appliance. Only a 240 volt rated appliance can obtain this max wattage. Warning! Do not atttempt to combine wiring of circuits A&B to double their single output numbers. They are not comatible and not in phase and will cause a "very hot" sparking dead short.

Purchased the product in early May of 2013. Began using product in June of 2013 (spray painting a fence). With less than 20 hours of usage on the unit, it failed while powering a jigsaw(building a shed). By now it was late August 2013 and the 90 day warranty has expired. I did not purchase the extended warranty which was a mistake on my part. However, I feel that it is quasi-extortion to have to purchase the extended warranty due to sub-standard workmanship. The store manager offered no resolution other than to tell me that I should have purchased the extended warranty. He actually seemed to be more focused on the fact that I did not purchase the extended warranty instead of the fact that the product his company retails failed miserably. There is absolutely no way that I will purchase any other power tool from Harbor Freight; only hand tools, hammers, gloves, drill bits, sockets, etc.

Comments about Predator Generators 4000 Peak/3200 Running Watts, 6.5 HP (212cc) Generator EPA III:
I drive a Big truck for a living and myself and another guy share the truck, I come in, He gets in the truck and goes to work, 12 to 13 hours later I get in the truck.. Its 50.1 miles one way to my house, So instead of driving the Drive back and forth every day, I camp at the terminal and go home for the weekend.. I bought the 4000 watt generator, and I must say, I am impressed. It will start the first pull every.. I have had it for the last three months. and I will turn on the choke, and pull it up to the compression Stroke, then give her a good hard pull, and she fires right up.. I normally will run it for around 8 hours a night, and it uses on the average about 2 gallons of gas.. For the price you can't go wrong, Would I recommend this .. YOU BET...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bought this generator for hurricane Sandy, had a full tank of gas when it was put away. Today 1/22/16 still full with the same gas from hurricane Sandy and the gas was left on... Took 3 pulls and started right up and ran for 10mins with NO PROBLEMs at all!!!! I put about 6hrs on it when new, you cannot go wrong with this generator. Some will be bad and some will be diamonds in my opinion. Can't beat the price point and the build quality on this is amazing. I just bought the bigger one and started first pull.

To the rescue 101
By Mr A.J.
from Compton Ca.
DWP, has outages when they want to repair things, and sometimes it's at night, from 6-7 am. With this generator, we now have two tv,s, the fridge, and our computer/wifi all night off 3/4 tank of fuel. Ran the cords through three window, and chained up the generator for vibration or movement, did not move, and I also slaved in a carbon monoxide detector midway to the kids room, stayed at zero for the duration. Great generator, and when it go on sale again, I will buy another jus to have, and expand the uses. Go buy it. No complaints at all, more than what I expected for the price.

i use the generator for a bunk heater and a block heater, it runs all night on a half tank, the only trouble i have had is the choke lever kinda sticks, to the point of all most breaking the little handle,
Pleasantly surprised
By Cheer Dad

Used this generator to power a pair of DJ speakers and Christmas lights for a parade. Worked well on a constant load for about 3 hours with zero issues. Not too loud and easy start up. Don't forget to add oil before first start up.

Best generator on market
By mountain man
from Marble Falls ,Arkansas
runs entire house has for 9 months. used to build house. 3 bedroom house built using this generator. I can not get power in mountains of Arkansas without spending about 30 K. I built my house and now power it with this generator. Wired house just like a normal house did not cut corners full power thru out and wired into panel just as if utility company power. I can do anything anyone else can that has utility power. figured for the 289 if lasted 3 months big deal cheap enough. runs a week at a time never shut off except check oil on sundays, fill with gas while running. built a generator room with sound deading material and ran exhaust up side of house. cant hear even running. has been only source of power for nine months. have a spare just in case and a 4 K multiquip generator have not used once since bought this generator. I have propane clothes dryer, hot water tank and cooking stove. can turn every light on in house with appliances running "dishwasher, washing machine, t.v's never bogs down or trips breaker. For 289.00 how could this not be the best generator on market. this is a full time functioning house not weekend get away. spend about 250 300 a month in fuel but my house in city we used to own cost me 269 to 300 for utility power a month. when gone for extended time fridge and a couple lights run on solar. thought about running a solar array but that's 20 thousand and 289.00 for a new generator even every 6 months if needed is cheaper. hope i did not jinx myself for reviewing this product but it truly is a great little machine. Wish it had hour meter so could give actual hours but its a lot probably more than most will ever use one. I'm guessing at this point 6000 plus hours .also does not use any oil, never have to add between changes once a month. Maybe key to my success is that i put full synthetic oil in it since brand new Rottela T6 oil and Denso spark plug.
Quiet, Easy, Cheap
By Marty

You can carry on a full conversation next to this generator while it is running. Starts easily and runs smooth. I really appreciate the build quality and the solid frame this sits in. Would purchase this over competing brands even if at the same price. Oil drain is not convenient that is my only concern. I use the multi syphon tool from HF to put oil in this generator and it's pretty easy to do. A long funnel with a skinny neck can also do it but its hard to known when its full.

Not properly cleaning a glucometer isn't the biggest infection control procedural lapse in a hospital setting, Perz explains. Far worse is reuse of fingerstick devices used to draw the blood and put it on a test strip on more than one patient.
Also bad practice is when insulin pens are used on more than one patient. "The greatest risk involves devices that go from patient to patient, and make direct contact with the patient," Perz explains.
But the glucometer can also be a source of infection among patients through healthcare workers, or even gloves or articles of clothing that imperceptibly touch the device.
Here's how that can happen. The healthcare worker draws the blood from the patient's finger, puts it on a test strip and then inserts it into a nearby glucometer, where a few minutes later the monitor calculates a glucose level.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

IN his fourteenth year young Martin left the narrow scenes of childhood and went forth into a wider world of experience. Probably at Easter, 1496 1 he set out from the valley of Mansfeld to carry on his schooling at Magdeburg, thirty miles to the north. The largest city of the region, Magdeburg lay strategically in the valley of the Elbe and dominated the country round about as the center of a lively trade and the seat of a bishop, as well as through the prestige of its churches and schools. The departure from home must have been a great adventure for the lad, but it was quite in accord with the spirit of the times. The wandering schoolboy, an heir of the vagrant scholars of the Middle Ages, was not an unusual sight on the highways of Saxony in a day when a great wave of school reform was spreading over Central Europe. Thomas Platter's autobiography pictures the troops of youths swarming along the German roads, many of them hundreds of miles from home, seeking food from charity and lodging wherever they could. Wandering was in the blood of the later Middle Ages. Schoolboys adapted themselves to it and fitted together into a social organization like that which had grown up among another class of wanderers, the artisans of the cities. The schools too had their apprentices, their journeymen, and their master-workmen. An older boy, the bacchante, was attended by a group of satellite fags, or Schützen, who begged and stole to keep their elders in food, receiving in return protection from other boys and perhaps a crust of bread or a bit of fish from such store as they collected. As the "New Learning" brought especial fame to certain schools, large numbers of scholars were often attracted from distant parts of Middle Europe and made serious trouble for school authorities and city fathers.
A system like this involved a cruel waste of life. Martin, however, escaped____________________

Apple has settled into a pattern. While most smartphone makers try to blow our minds once a year with eye-catching new designs, shapes, and sizes, Apple has stuck to its guns: a redesigned iPhone one year, an almost identical-looking iPhone with upgraded internals the next. Is the latest iterative update, the iPhone 5s, worth jumping on? Or is this the year to hold off, or maybe test the Android waters? Let Gizmag try to answer, as we put the new iPhone 5s through the paces.

Tahoe's Top Food, Wine, and Nature Events This Fall
While most people visit Lake Tahoe in the summer months, there's a little secret that locals know: Fall is the best time to head to the lake. Under the bright blue sky and among the golden leaves this fall head to these top eight food, wine, and hiking events:
Lake Tahoe's Top Party Barges and Classy Cruises
Lake Tahoe is a destination spot for groups looking to party and for couples who want a romantic trip and a glass of Champagne— luckily, both kinds of excursions can be enjoyed on the water.
Top Five Tahoe Campgrounds Near the Water
Lake Tahoe is a popular place to go camping in the summer, so now's the time to reserve that perfect campsite, before it's packed to the brim. There are dozens of campgrounds around the lake, but only a few of them have great lakeside access. These top five campgrounds either have their own beaches or it's just a quick walk to the shoreline and that deep blue water—perfect for a refreshing summer dip.
Outdoor Adventures Worth the Drive to the Sierra Nevadas
During a road trip to Lake Tahoe, the lake itself is usually the ultimate destination. However, no matter what direction you come from, there are a multitude of other adventures to be had in the Sierra Nevada throughout the year.
Five Waterfront Tahoe Wedding Reception Locations
Are you planning a spring or summer wedding in Lake Tahoe? Wedding receptions at the lake can be held in many places including ski resorts, mountain tops, and private beaches, but you might want a comfortable and protected location right on the water to wine and dine with your guests without worrying about what the weather might bring. These five restaurants around the lake are either located right on the water or just a toss of the bouquet from the water's edge.
Five Delicious Tahoe Spa Treatments
Coconut milk and honey. Buttered rum. Green tea and peppermint. These delicious ingredients sound like the makings of a dessert, but at some of Tahoe's resorts and spas you actually spread them on your body or enjoy them with your pedicure. Indulge all five senses with these five heavenly spa treatments at the lake. You will want to lick yourself clean.
Tahoe Cocktails for the Winter Olympic Games
In celebration of the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, and the new batch of powder that has just fallen in Lake Tahoe, several bars in the area are pouring some splendid winter cocktails with distinct Olympics themes and flavors.
Alpenglow Mountain Festival in Tahoe
Finally, the next forecast is predicting about a foot more snow in the Tahoe area. Hallelujah! It looks like those snow dances and prayers worked. This might be your best time to get up into the mountains for some Sochi-inspired extreme winter sports.
Five Romantic Things to Do in Tahoe
Tahoe is suffering from a sorrowful lack of snowfall this season, but on the brighter side, the weather up here has been beautiful for other outdoor sports that we don't normally get to enjoy in January. It's even better if you can enjoy them with a date or significant other.
National Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in Tahoe
January is National Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month, and in celebration several Tahoe ski resorts are offering specials for beginner skiers and boarders throughout the month of January.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Herbivore - Divisadero
by Janelle
Review: Ok, so, honestly, while working a conference in SF last month, my colleague and I couldn't wait to go to this other restaurant that will remain nameless, (but it starts with a M, and ends with a m), so when we went, the atmospere was almost scary, but what was really awful was how rude the gal at the front desk was.....like we weren't even there. So, we left. And remembered Herbivore. Fate is funny, isn't it? We found our way there and proceeded to eat ourselves silly. The food was spectacular! The chocolate cake, oh my goodness!! I wish they'd deliver to LA! As good as the food was, it was the gal who helped us that just sealed the deal. She was so nice, funny, and she 'talked' to us!! Imagine that. We had a great time with her! That (obviously) makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it? I wish I could remember her name, 'coz she deserves recognition, but I hope she'll know. Wonderful food, wonderful VEGAN food, wonderful vibe. Could you please open an Herbivore in LA? Please??!! A MUST for anyone visiting SF.

Sad, but true ....
On the basis it's within this galaxy and was found using the Chandra x-ray observatory, my guess is it's something to do with black holes. Can't think what though.
However, if it's Sitchin's Nibiru then I promise to sell every possession I have and donate all the money raised to the Burma Cyclone relief fund
Chandra is designed to observe X-rays from high-energy regions of the universe, such as the remnants of exploded stars. The two images of the Crab Nebula supernova remnant and its pulsar shown below illustrate how higher resolution can reveal important new features.
"We have wondered why the Milky Way's black hole appears to be a slumbering giant," says team leader Tatsuya Inui of Kyoto University in Japan. "But now we realize that the black hole was far more active in the past. Perhaps it's just resting after a major outburst."

Perhaps you and i could have a debate on the matter?

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez kept his plans for his starting quarterback for the opener against Connecticut close to the vest until Saturday's kickoff.
But if Denard Robinson looked as good in practice as he did in the game against the Huskies, Rodriguez's poker face is among the best.
"Denard Robinson is going to make people look bad," Connecticut coach Randy Edsall. "That guy is an extra running back back there.
He's an outstanding athlete."
Robinson's performance was reminiscent of Rodriguez's best player at West Virginia, quarterback Pat White, whom the Miami Dolphins cut on Saturday.
While Robinson, a sophomore from Deerfield Beach, Fla., appears to have any doubt about the quarterback job -- Tate Forcier, last season's starter, didn't leave the bench, even while Robinson briefly was sidelined by an injury -- it remains to be seen if 20-plus carries will be the norm.
"It really depends on how they play us," Rodriguez said. "He probably ran more than we'd like. I think that's a little bit much, but at the same time, he can handle it. He's bigger and stronger, but there were probably a few times that he ran when he could have given it up -- and vice versa. I think he'll keep learning from that, but he can handle it."
NATIONAL FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: QB Taylor Martinez, Nebraska
As with Rodriguez, Nebraska coach Bo Pelini waited until game day to name his starting quarterback. As with Rodriguez, his selection was effective, albeit against lesser competition.
Redshirt freshman Martinez took the Huskers' first snap in a 49-10 win over Western Kentucky and doesn't look likely to give up the job.
Martinez was 9-of-15 for 136 yards, and he was even more dangerous on the ground with 127 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries.
NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF THE WEEK: Dick Bumpas, TCU
Jerry Hughes is gone, but TCU's defense is far from a one-man show. Unless, that is, the man is coordinator Dick Bumpas, whose unit has led the nation in total defense in each of the past two seasons.
Bumpas earns Coordinator of the Week honors for his defense's first game in 2010; the Horned Frogs held Oregon State to 73 rushing yards and 2.9 yards per carry in a 30-21 win.
Oregon State's Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for 1,440 yards and 21 touchdowns last season, but he was held to 75 yards and one score against TCU.

WASHINGTON — Finally, a flicker of economic hope for President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats, even if it's a faint one.
November's sharp drop in the unemployment rate shows that jobs are finally moving in the right direction and suggests the economy is on firmer footing as the country heads into a presidential election year.
The Labor Department reported the jobless rate fell to 8.6 percent in November from 9 percent the month before, a 2½ year low.
That's still high unemployment by historical standards. And lots of problems still lurk — from Europe's debt crisis to congressional gridlock to the tens of millions of Americans still out of work or otherwise feeling economic distress. Furthermore, part of the improvement came because 300,000 people stopped their job searches and were no longer counted as unemployed.
But Friday's report, combined with other recent economic data showing advances in manufacturing and consumer spending, could give Obama momentum for the re-election campaign.
The White House and congressional Democrats were quiet in showing any enthusiasm they might have felt, instead using the new figures to step up criticism of anti-tax Republicans for blocking measures they said could help create even more jobs. Those include an extension of an expiring Social Security payroll tax cut that largely benefits the middle class.
"The unemployment rate went down," Obama said. "And despite some strong headwinds this year, the American economy has now created in the private sector jobs for the past 21 months in a row. That's nearly 3 million new jobs in all, and more than half a million over the last four months."
Said House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson of Connecticut: "Today's unemployment numbers, while encouraging, simply underscore the urgency for Congress to address the top issue facing American families— jobs."
Republicans were publicly unimpressed with the jobs report, insisting Obama hadn't done enough and emphasizing that the jobless rate was still higher than when he took office in January 2009, when it stood at 7.7 percent.
"Any job creation is welcome news, but the jobless rate in this country is still unacceptable. Today marks the 34th consecutive month of unemployment above 8 percent," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
That view was echoed on the campaign trail.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, in a Fox News interview, acknowledged that the report was good news but said it wouldn't help Obama politically. "This is the slowest recovery we've seen since (President Herbert) Hoover," Romney said. "He's going to have a hard time putting perfume on this pig." Hoover held office from 1929 to early 1933, at the outset of the Great Depression.
Despite stimulus measures by the Obama administration, Congress and the Federal Reserve, unemployment has remained high, peaking at 10.1 percent in October 2009 and staying around 9 percent for most of 2011.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another Republican seeking Obama's job, noted that a major part of the sharp drop in the unemployment rate was "not because entrepreneurs were creating new jobs" but because some 300,000 Americans "have simply given up looking for work."
"The Obama model of class warfare, government takeovers in the economy and creating fear and uncertainty for job-creators have failed," Gingrich asserted.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., made a similar point about discouraged jobless workers and said, "My heart breaks as we approach the holidays for American families who have been abandoned by this president so that he can implement his radical agenda."
The president didn't try to take credit for the lower figures.

As a large congregation, we recognize the importance of small group connection and we create many opportunities for learning, socializing, and enjoying local culture together.
Interfaith families may include those who identify their family as Jewish, as more than one religion, or who are unsure of how they identify. Our goal is to meet these families where they are and facilitate deeper connection to Jewish life.
Men of Congregation Emanu-El have a monthly opportunity to socialize and study with a member of the clergy at a private home. This cross-generational group provides a small group experience so important to building community. There is also an annual day-long Men's Group retreat in the late spring.
An active and committed group of dads of Congregation Emanu-El ages 30-50 working on building community over time. The Tribe's areas of focus are deep discussions, community service and play.
Women of Congregation Emanu-El meet monthly for diverse programs created by participants, and held either in a private home or at the Temple. Women of all ages are invited.

Oslo and the Entity Framework
Doug Purdy announced that the Oslo and the Data Programmability team were merged.
Since I first heard of the Entity Framework, it was pretty clear to me that it was designed to be the 'Model' of the .NET Framework. Even if there were some disagreements over the EF programming model or their designers, the 'modeling' part of the story looked pretty well (even if I can still not map some fairly common scenarios (1)).
If Oslo wanted to drive ´Model-Driven Development' in the .NET platform, and if they took a very 'data-driven' approach, it made sense that they used the EF as their model.
It looks that in addition of fluent interfaces for the EF, we´ll have a way to define an EF model in M, which would be much better than the current XMLs. We´ll need to wait until PDC to find out.
As a side note, Oslo looks to be very far from it's shipping date.
Client side change-tracking data structures in .NET
A couple of years ago I was involved in a couple of threads about doing change-tracking in client-side data structures to support multi-tier development, just like DataSets do, but with the Entity Framework.

Oklahoma City Community College has received approval to offer an associate degree in leisure services.
The degree program was approved by OCCC's board of regents.

Potential employers of students earning the degree include tourism and travel agencies, natural resource management agencies, resorts, the armed forces, YMCAs and other nonprofit agencies and commercial businesses. Jobs could include cruise directors, trip leaders, raft guides, rock climbing guides and park rangers. …

The decision by hard rock band Aerosmith to cancel its May 11 concert in Jakarta over safety concerns is causing jitters in the Indonesian music world over whether other big-name talent might shy away.
The cancellation followed an incident last Friday in which Indonesia's antiterrorism police arrested two men allegedly plotting to bomb the Myanmar embassy in Jakarta. Since then, Indonesia's antiterrorism squad has engaged in shootouts Wednesday and Thursday that left eight suspected terrorists dead.
Bens Leo, a music analyst and former journalist who covered the music industry in Jakarta, is concerned that Aerosmith's pullout could be more than a blip. Read More »

Jakarta, Indonesia — The music business is taking off here, with performances by such rock legends as Sting, Rod Stewart and Stevie Wonder signaling that this Southeast Asian country may be breaking free of the stigma of terrorism that held it back in the music world for more than a decade.
Singapore, just over an hour from Jakarta by plane, has overshadowed its rival, attracting more big-name performers and, as a result, upwardly mobile Indonesian youths looking for music-filled getaways. Read More »

Indonesia needs to build up its power and transportation capacity to create jobs and grow the economy in the coming years – and it's relying on a lot of foreign investment to do so.

Generally the following rules for public posts (report, meeting point, comments, forum, party etc.) should be considered. In addition there are individual rules in the posting forums which can supplement or override those here.
The rules are divided into two sections, on the one hand there is the section "absolute No-No's", i.e. breaching the rules can have direct consequences: (deletion of entries, a caution, blocking account contributions).
On the other hand there is the section: "Rules and tips for getting along with each other", which, when the rules are broken, can lead to certain consequences.
Moderators are not obligated to justify or explain why a contribution has been deleted or a member banned. If a member is of the opinion that their contribution has been unjustifiably deleted they can reason and justify with the web master via a personal message. The sense, meaning and purpose of individual rules can be discussed in the forum.These are the "No-No's":

- +4Flowers, we also seem to fixated on winning arguments/debates. Many don't seem to care if they are right or wrong, as long as they best the person debating whatever the issue. The more emotional, the more important "winning" is. I like debating dispassionate people, or people who are able to debate while keeping emotions in check. ("Logic" is often the loser in emotional debates....sometimes called arguments.)

- Evan Somethi... 2012/04/30 15:23:24+1Something Sea, I'd be interested in the definition of the very word, "politics". I may have the wrong definition. In today's world, it seems that nothing is defined the way it used to be, beginning with the word "is", debated in a previous Presidency. "Political Process" is a term more easily defined, at least for me. The "political process" would include the art of expediency,, while the word "political" would allude to government, or governmental organization. I would connect "politician" to an unscrupulous, manipulative, control-freak with real power, and access to OPM..(Other People's Money). Would you mind sharing your definition of "politics"? Thanks.
- Somethi... Evan 2012/06/19 14:55:40+1Sure: Politics is the discussing of money taken via coercion as to where it will go, assuming bureaucratic inefficiency (as is standard), as well as voter pull (YOU BELIEVE IN THE WRONG THING! SUPPORT THIS, NOT THAT!). I consider it unproductive for two reasons:
1. All of the discussion and effort is about how government, a coercive way of being with others, will solve problems. Government doesn't solve problems.
2. Taxation is something like 15%, where 75% is your own, unstolen (although fiat-based) money. Why not focus on your REAL power, being that we're connected to other people and can make new voluntary connections easily?
- JustTheFacts 2012/04/30 11:38:02Interested+2Very interested, and it's amazing the degree to which it affects our lives and people do not even pay attention.
One woman in my office said she voted for obama, feels it's Congress's fault the country hasn't improved and hasn't heard of Solyndra. It just goes to show you that dumb people going to the voting booth is destroying it for all of us.

Our future and the future of our children and grandchildren depend on our making wise choices as a nation. Throwing up our hands in despair and letting political forces run wild is not in the best interest of our people, in my opinion! Democracy only works if we work at it!
- George 2012/04/30 09:43:30Interested+1To be a person that runs around everyday and NOT know whats going on in this country and the world makes you an idiot in the tenth degree.
THAT, is the very reason we have a pinheaded American hater in the office today.
A majority of Jersey shore types voting for an tan American idol instead of a leader.

McGary steps up at NBPA
MORE NBPA: Session 2 | Top performers | Session 3
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - It was another day at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, and there were another set of standouts. One of the top performers of the day was elite post player Mitch McGary.
Mitch McGary (2012 post)- Disappointed with his play in an early session loss, McGary came out strong out of the gate in an evening matchup with Robert Carter. He had a series of nifty, yet physical drives, where he finished tough shots and set the tone for his team. The big men in the camp have struggled to set themselves apart offensively, but McGary did just that on Friday night.
Chicken Knowles (2012 forward)- Knowles brings an unassuming attitude onto the court but doesn't back down to his more physical opponents. He relies on his length and his feel for the game to free him up for scoring and rebounding opportunities. A future four-star prospect, Knowles was one of the most pleasant surprises of the camp.
Adam Woodbury (2012 center)- It is pretty simple with Woodbury. If you don't double team him, he is usually going to score with his reliable jump hook to either shoulder. If you double team him, Woodbury will find the open man.
Cameron Biedscheid (2012 wing)- A long wing with slinky athleticism, Beidsheid should be an impact player when he reaches Notre Dame. He is a natural scorer who produces buckets at all three levels.
Rasheed Sulaimon (2012 shooting guard)- Sulaimon has rejuvenated his stock at this event. He is a shot maker who appears destined to produce at Duke.
Kevin Ferrell (2012 point guard)- Ferrell is as shifty and quick a point guard as there is in the 2012 class. On top of that he knocks down jumpers. His turnovers might cause concern, but when he tones down his game in college, they will be less of a concern.
Ronnie Johnson (2012 point guard)- Cut out of a similar mold as Ferrell, Johnson finds the crevices in the defense. Although not as naturally gifted as Ferrell, Johnson is a lower risk point guard who will knock down jumpers like Ferrell.
Shaquille Cleare (2012 post)- Cleare's game is all about strength. He controls space and produces in traffic. A sure-handed rebounder, Cleare is also a great finisher through contact.
Tony Parker (2012 post)- Parker made a statement against Andre Drummond that he can score against anyone in the country. He has been active and has a knack for creating space with his spin moves and pivots.
Anton Gill (2013 shooting guard)- The camp is short on 2013 talent, but Gill has stood out with his ability to make contested jumpers and also attack the basket for buckets.

Elodie - I can't see Edith ever transcending the clunky grandma-ness.

Aurora - Love both, but Aurora feels younger and more exuberant.

Six hours after I published the below piece on Michael Sam, the Dallas Cowboys announced that they would in fact sign the co-SEC defensive player of the year to their practice squad. This was a relief to everyone who believed that Michael Sam—on merit—had earned a place in the National Football League with his stellar pre-season performance for the St. Louis Rams.
It was also a relief given what I wrote in the below article: that the hobgoblins of homophobia seemed to be preventing Sam from getting an opportunity. Under the code word of "distraction"—the distraction being his sexuality—Sam was being denied a place on an NFL roster. Given the endless actual "distractions" belched into the culture from the pro football—from brain damage to racist mascots to domestic violence—one didn't know whether the "distraction" fears of general managers was an outrage or a farce.
While it is a relief that Sam will get his chance, it is also a thrill that he is landing with the Dallas Cowboys for a series of reasons. Unlike the St. Louis Rams, the Cowboys are decimated on defense so Sam will actually get something that would have been difficult to find in St. Louis: the opportunity to play. In addition, Dallas' defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is respected as someone who knows how to get the most out of players with Sam's ability to get downfield and pressure the quarterback. Then there is the city of Dallas itself. Contrary to stereotypes people may have about Texas, Dallas is home to a significant community of LGBT individuals and allies. The city's elected Sheriff is a gay Latina, Lupe Valdez. Sam could play anywhere, but it is good to know that his new city would be place where he could find support. That gets to the last reason why Dallas is such a quality landing spot for Sam: he is from Texas. Michael Sam has come home. In a sport practically defined by bad news this offseason, Michael Sam actually gives many people a sense of hope. If the people in Roger Goodell's office did not realize this before, they certainly do now.

The tweet sent by one of my favorite football writers, Mike Freeman speaks volumes: "GM tells me: 'Teams want to sign Michael Sam but fear the media attention.' To me, that's cowardice. But that's just me." It is not just you, Mike. This is cowardice writ large: risk-averse corporate executives unwilling to improve their team because they fear that the "distraction" of openly gay linebacker Michael Sam is not worth the effort.
For those unaware of the latest news, Michael Sam was among the last cuts of the St. Louis Rams. Despite a stellar preseason where he was among the team leaders in sacks, tackles and snaps. Sam found himself on the outside when the final roster was announced. This in and of itself was not surprising. In a league where pass-rushers are a premium, St. Louis has perhaps the deepest crew of quarterback sackers and run stoppers in the NFL. This made their original drafting of Sam somewhat curious, and it was always unclear how he would in fact make the team. Given Sam's terrific preseason, though, football scribes took to Twitter and assured the public that Sam would be signed by another team, or at the very least, assigned to the Rams ten-person practice squad. Implicit in these tweets, whether the writers intended this or not, is the NFL's most treasured public relations point: this is a league that cares about winning above all else, and Michael Sam, who more than proved himself this preseason, would find himself a home.
