Motive Products 0112
Manufacturer's Part Number:
Rated 3 out of 5 by gregi from Mostly Great I have always wanted to try one of these bleeder systems and often wondered exactly how they work as far as how not to spill fluid when you're done and need to disconnect. I'll start by saying the system works and I am happy with using it. The cap which is purpose built for my Tilton master cylinder reservoirs leaked immediately. The fluid I use is about $100/quart. I fixed it myself with some sandpaper and some 15 minute epoxy. The system also didn't come with any directions. It's mostly self explanatory but not 100%. I am surprised they don't give some simple instructions so people don't have to waste fluid to learn.

as compare to Windows XP and Server 2003
There is some steps given to increase the Vista web browsing speed:
1:Open Advance tab in Internet Explorer and turn off the Transport Layer Security encryption option.
2:Here we fixed the problem which comes with some secure pages on the Secure Sockets Layer 2.0 and click Ok button to close it.
Windows Vista has the TCP autotunig feature this by default is Enable.
Some old version web server not able to fast respond to this feature.
That's why some sites open with slow speed.
For enabling this feature on our system
click on Start button -> Run -> Type CMD then press Enter.
In CMD type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel= disabled"
this command disable the TCP autotuning feature then you restart the computer

Owner of Vt. oil pipeline seeks ruling re-doMay 15,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — The owner of a crude oil pipeline that runs between Maine and Montreal is asking Vermont environmental regulators to reconsider a ruling that would require a new review under the state's land use law if the company seeks to move Canadian tar sands oil in the pipeline.
Last month, Vermont's District 7 Environmental Commission determined the Portland Pipeline Corp. would need a new Act 250 land-use permit if it proposes to move Canadian tar sands oil through an existing pipeline between Montreal and Portland.
The decision said changing the use of the pipeline would represent a significant change to the existing pipeline and so warrant a new review.
In its request, dated Tuesday, the pipeline company says it has no plans to convert the pipeline to carry tar sands oil.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO Lauren Kaija and Miranda Johnson had two goals each to help lift Woodstock the...

Beyond the Pivot
A New Road Map for U.S.-Chinese Relations
Debate about the future of U.S.-Chinese relations is currently being driven by a more assertive Chinese foreign and security policy over the last decade, the region's reaction to this, and Washington's response -- the "pivot," or "rebalance," to Asia. The Obama administration's renewed focus on the strategic significance of Asia has been entirely appropriate. Without such a move, there was a danger that China, with its hard-line, realist view of international relations, would conclude that an economically exhausted United States was losing its staying power in the Pacific. But now that it is clear that the United States will remain in Asia for the long haul, the time has come for both Washington and Beijing to take stock, look ahead, and reach some long-term conclusions as to what sort of world they want to see beyond the barricades.
Asia's central tasks in the decades ahead are avoiding a major confrontation between the United States and China and preserving the strategic stability that has underpinned regional prosperity. These tasks are difficult but doable. They will require both parties to understand each other thoroughly, to act calmly despite multiple provocations, and to manage the domestic and regional forces that threaten to pull them apart. This, in turn, will require a deeper and more institutionalized relationship -- one anchored in a strategic framework that accepts the reality of competition, the importance of cooperation, and the fact that these are not mutually exclusive propositions. Such a new approach, furthermore, should be given

In East and Central Africa we work to transform two conflicts: the inter-communal conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) conflict. The LRA formed in northern Uganda, but has since moved into the border areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and the CAR. We empower local people in both these contexts to play an active role in the resolution and prevention of violent conflict.

Just released!!!!!!!
Price $45/sh
WHOOPY DOO. Strong buy means we have this pos stock in inventory and are hoping to unload some.
fatrambeau- what an idiotic think to say, short fool.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We are raising our 12-month target price to $45 from $40, based on revised DCF analysis. We are also raising our EPS estimates for '13 to $1.43 from $1.37 and '14's to $1.68 from $1.57. We are setting a '15 forecast of $2.00. Following AKAM's Investor Summit held last week, we see notable growth opportunities, including video, cloud computing, security and mobile. We think communicated changes to cost classifications and non-GAAP terminology/methodology might have confused some. We see near-term investments to develop, sell and support new products as worthwhile.

h = 1 while h < n, h = 3*h + 1 while h > 0, h = h / 3 for k = 1:h, insertion sort a[k:h:n] → invariant: each h-sub-array is sorted end
The worse-case time complexity of shell sort depends on the increment sequence. For the increments 1 4 13 40 121..., which is what is used here, the time complexity is O(n3/2). For other increments, time complexity is known to be O(n4/3) and even O(n·lg2(n)). Neither tight upper bounds on time complexity nor the best increment sequence are known.
Because shell sort is based on insertion sort, shell sort inherits insertion sort's adaptive properties. The adapation is not as dramatic because shell sort requires one pass through the data for each increment, but it is significant. For the increment sequence shown above, there are log3(n) increments, so the time complexity for nearly sorted data is O(n·log3(n)).
Because of its low overhead, relatively simple implementation, adaptive properties, and sub-quadratic time complexity, shell sort may be a viable alternative to the O(n·lg(n)) sorting algorithms for some applications when the data to be sorted is not very large.

Ducky is a blue-masked lovebird who loves a cuddle and a hand with the preening from Dad. Apparently, he is the first one up in the family every morning and makes sure that everyone else is awake. He's such a pretty and cuddly little chap.
Lovebirds are very social creatures and need lots of interaction either with humans or with a mate.

Slain German student's father criticizes US
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — The father of a 17-year-old exchange student shot dead in Montana departed the U.S. on Thursday after criticizing the nation's gun culture and arranging for his son's body to be flown back to Germany.
Celal Dede flew out of Missoula after securing the release of Diren Dede's body, which was transported from Montana on Wednesday afternoon, German consulate spokeswoman Julia Reinhardt said.
Before he departed, Celal Dede told the German news agency dpa that he had never imagined his son could be shot for simply entering somebody's property.
"America cannot continue to play cowboy," Celal Dede said.
Markus Kaarma, a homeowner in Missoula, Montana, on Sunday fired four blasts from a shotgun into his garage, killing Diren Dede who was inside. He faces a charge of deliberate homicide.
It's not clear what the teen was doing in the garage. Prosecutors allege Kaarma shot into his garage without warning after Dede tripped alarms.
Kaarma's attorney, Paul Ryan, told The Associated Press Wednesday that his client plans to plead not guilty and was afraid for his life. Kaarma didn't know whether the boy was armed or what his intentions were when he entered the garage, Ryan said.
"The young man made a choice and put the wheels in motion that ultimately created this whole situation," Ryan said.
Celal Dede said he hoped Kaarma would receive a fair punishment.
"I didn't think for one night that everyone here can kill somebody just because that person entered his backyard," Dede said.
The 46-year-old father said he wouldn't have allowed his son to participate in the exchange if he had known.
Dede's mother and two sisters, hundreds of friends and neighbors and members of his soccer club arranged a farewell game Wednesday night in his hometown of Hamburg.
Many were sporting T-shirts with Dede's picture and holding posters and photos of the killed teenager.
A big banner saying "Our brother is dying while America is looking on" was put up on the sidelines of the soccer field. Some bystanders laid roses for Dede.
Dpa reported that Dede would be buried in Bodrum, Turkey, after a memorial service at Yeni-Beyazit Mosque in Hamburg. Dede's relatives are German-Turkish immigrants.
The teen was studying for a year at a high school in Missoula and was to leave the U.S. after the school term ended in just a few weeks.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but whilst the caravan had been cleaned, it had an overwhelming doggy smell upon arrival so I cleaned it again, plus removing sticky stains from the carpet left by previous occupants and emptying the vacuum cleaner that contained lots of hair. In general it was comfortable and well set out but all upholstery, carpet and curtains would benefit from a thorough clean.
It might also be a good idea to get rid of the "big" rubbish bin from the lounge area and provide a smaller one on the corner shelf of the kitchen which would need emptying daily to save any build up of smells.
The position of the caravan was good, the swimming pool and hot tub excellent, the shop and cafe good and the entertainment fine for those that like that sort of thing. We thought the site throughout was well maintained and the bed linen provided was excellent, nice white sheets and pillow cases.

I did not know you can take your dog. Whoever stayed before us had a dog because we couldn't smell it.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to create software, I already made my code written in Java and run it successfully (I use Netbeans as software) .I want to know is how to create a setup file.. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to create software, I already made my code written in Java and run it successfully (I use Netbeans as software) .I want to know is how to create a setup file.. Thank you in advance for your help.
I did not understand, what exactly you want. Want to know how to create your software, then you already have the sources and the executable. So you already have operational software (executable). If you want to edit, since you are using Netbeans, you can do it. There is documentation on the sun java official site, about how to execute a file.
I understand, I think you want to run your program without using Netbeans as an executable (the. exe windows for example). When you compile your Java code in Netbeans, there are class files that have been created which contains the pseudo code used by the Java virtual machine for your operating system. The program is executable on windows by the java command (see help for use) if the JVM is installed. A batch file will then launch the program of a clique. If not, there are windows utilities to create an EXE from a java program but then you lose in portability.
I think you should easily find tutorials over there on the Net. Anyway to create your batch file, create a new text file named example.bat you can edit with notepad. There is enter the right java commands in it, I think this is the easiest way to to a java file executable, though it will not on any other operating system other that windows, I think for linux you have to create a shell program for the similar results.
When you make a program in JAVA, you make. JAR files. In any case you made. Bat file, as you feel comfortable, both will give the same out put. FYI the batch (. Bat) is with a simple Notepad. And they used to automate some tasks. But if you want that your java application should run on multiple platforms then you should go for jar file.
Just for info, the bat file is just to automate the launching of the java file. Instead of typing java myprog, putting this command in a batch file that simplifies the launch (especially if there are options to save as or-jar-classpath ...) You can even try to create a jar file, yes, one benefit is that you can run it on multiple operating systems.

How competitive is it to get into the DMS program?
The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program is competitive in the sense it receives more applications than spots available. The competitiveness of the program is determined by the number of applications received during the application cycle and therefore changes.
Is the UAA DMS program accredited?
There are two types of accreditation for educational programs: regional and programmatic. This program is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, but doesn't have programmatic accreditation at this time. We are working towards obtaining programmatic accreditation from The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), which accredits medical sonography programs.
Can I become certified if you don't have programmatic accreditation?
Yes. It is possible to become certified by both registering organizations.
Do I need to go through a Radiology Technology program to be a sonographer?
What type of healthcare degree or certification* meets the prerequisite?
There isn't a definitive list. However, the degree/certification must be in a profession that is direct patient care-related. Students should inquire with the program advisor if they are unsure about their qualifications.
*In some professions, a license is issued instead of certification.
What type of recent work experience meets the application requirement?
Work experience, like the degree/certification requirement, must be in a profession that is direct patient care-related. There is no minimum amount of work experience needed to apply; however, it must be within the last five years.
How are students selected for an interview?
Student applications are reviewed, and those applicants meeting the requirements are offered an interview.
How many students do you accept?
The number of students selected each year is between six and eight.
Do you have a wait-list?
No. Students not selected need to reapply. Those who reapply are given equal consideration among the current applicant pool.

Boys basketball roundup: Douglass' Stephen Clark scores 65 points — but Trojans lose
Douglass point guard Stephen Clark did everything he could to carry the Trojans to a win Friday night.
Clark scored 65 points, including a perfect 27-of-27 at the free throw line, but it wasn't enough for Douglass in a 106-92 loss to Airline High School of Bossier City, La., in the Bossier Invitational.
"He did it all," Douglass coach Terry Long said of Clark. "He defended, he scored, hit 3s, penetration, dishing the ball. He left everything on the floor.
"He played a key role in just about every possession we scored on. It was a phenomenal show. I took him out at the end, and the entire crowd gave him a standing ovation."
Clark made eight 3-pointers on the night, scoring 52 of the 65 points in the second half.
"I wasn't really thinking about it," Clark said. "I was just worried about trying to win the game. We had a couple guys get in foul trouble, so I had to be the scorer.
"I just wanted to win, though. That's all I care about at the end of the day. This was probably good for us, because we can figure out what we need to do to become a better basketball team."
The loss eliminated the Trojans from the tournament, dropping their record to 4-3 with all three losses coming to out-of-state competition. They will be back in action at Star Spencer on Tuesday.
Tulsa Union has established itself as perhaps the top contender in the Class 6A race, and Putnam City will get a shot to take the down Redskins on Saturday.
With a 71-65 win over Midwest City on Friday, PC avenged last year's loss to the Bombers in the Putnam City Invitational title game and earned its spot in this year's final.
David Bush scored 22 points to lead the Pirates, and Ronnie Boyce added 17.
Union advanced with a 63-47 win over Putnam City West. The title game will tip off at 8 p.m. Saturday at Putnam City.
Behind a strong defensive effort, Norman knocked off Deer Creek 55-40 in the semifinals of the 52nd annual McGuinness Classic, setting up a title game between Norman and the host Irish.
Norman got 12 points each from Connor Madole and George Kittle as the Tigers try to win their second tournament title in two weeks.
McGuinness had to rally from a first-half deficit to defeat Guthrie 54-50. Matt Ross led the Irish with 19 points, while Matt Christiansen and Joe Edmonds added 11 apiece.
McGuinness and Norman will meet in the finals at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Led by a pair of sophomores, Piedmont advanced to the finals of the Bethany/SNU Classic with a 51-40 win over Millwood at Southern Nazarene.
The sophomore duo of Cameron Peters and Adrion Williams scored 19 and 14 points, respectively, and played key roles in the Wildcats' tough defensive effort.
After overcoming some early injuries, Piedmont is getting back in its groove, especially on defense.
"The thing about our kids is that they get in the trenches with us, they play great defense and give us a chance to win," coach Ryan Wagner said. "If you can score enough, make it ugly, and good things will happen."
Bethany senior Garrett McGrady scored 18 points to lead the Bronchos to a 62-47 semifinal win over Elgin, setting up a championship game between two of Class 4A's better teams.
Jake Hopkins and Josh Lout scored 12 points apiece for Bethany on Friday
Bethany will face Piedmont at 8:30 p.m. Saturday at Bethany High School in the finals of the Bethany/SNU Classic.

the bride show abu dhabi a record hit - Success promises The Bride Show Dubai to be bigger than ever
The Bride Show Abu Dhabi has reported record visitor numbers for its sixth year; more than 14,000 visitors attended the four day event.
The show, which took place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre at the beginning of February, attracted fiancés and fashionistas alike who came to see the largest number of fashion shows in one event in the UAE capital.
Each day four designers launched their latest collections, which included bridal wear, Abayas and haute couture creations, modelled on the catwalk to rapturous applause and flashing cameras. The last day featured designs by the finalists of the inaugural Swarovski Abaya Design Awards, a competition to launch undiscovered design talent. Eiman Al Marzouqi, a UAE national from Abu Dhabi, was named the winner of the Award for her unique use of Swarovski crystals to embellish the traditional national dress.
The Bride Show Abu Dhabi, organised by IIR Middle East, hosted more than 200 exhibitors, including European bridal gown manufacturers and popular regional designers, such as Ghanati Haute Couture and Rahmanian Haute Couture. Every service and item that a bride could possibly need was available to help plan a perfect wedding, from photography, flowers and honeymoon providers to spas, custom-made jewellery and wedding invitations.
Following the success of the exhibition, IIR Middle East is expecting The Bride Show Dubai, taking place from 23-26 April at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre, to bring in more than 30,000 visitors. Now in its 11th year, the show will include additional features for visitors and exhibitors, including the Swarovski Young Designers Award as well as The Arabian Home Show and Women's Healthcare which run alongside the event.
Daphne Cota, Exhibition Manager for The Bride Show, said: "The turnout and interest we have received in Abu Dhabi has been excellent. Our exhibitors have reported strong sales from the four days and are more than satisfied that their names, products and services have reached the individuals who want them the most.
"Now we are looking forward to The Bride Show Dubai, which will be even larger, with more than 400 exhibitors from 13 countries. We are hosting the biggest fashion event in the UAE with 20 fashion shows over four days. International and local exhibitors will showcase everything from wedding gowns, haute couture fashion, and hair and beauty services to wedding organisers, venues and honeymoon destinations."
Exclusive discounts and daily competitions will be taking place at The Bride Show Dubai and one lucky visitor will win the grand prize of a luxury honeymoon package courtesy of Wild Discovery.
Women's Healthcare and The Arabian Home Show, running alongside The Bride Show Dubai, broaden the appeal for visitors as brides and young women take an active interest in their health and wellbeing, particularly in preparation for their wedding, and newlywed couples start to decorate their marital homes.
The Bride Show Dubai is open daily from 2.30pm to 10.30pm. To request an invitation or to join the mailing list for regular show updates visit www.thebrideshow.com.

[Video] A Time Lapse Video Of Earth Taken From Space
Timelapse videos have become extremely popular over the last couple years and it seems like everyone is doing them. This particular angle is a bit difficult for the average photographer to capture. "Producing time-lapse video onboard the International Space Station while orbiting 250 miles above the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour helps people follow along on our missions, not as spectators, but as fellow crewmembers." -- Ron Garan, NASA Astronaut, Expedition 27 & 28

Her work is characterized by a strong inclination to learn about language from usage as well as by a careful and thorough approach to experimental evaluation. Collected here are all of Sparck Jones's major works, spanning four decades. Advances in computer performance and the increasing availability of electronic text have helped realize her early research ideas, and her ideas continue to stimulate groundbreaking work.

Cooler weather and autumn rains will help new plants get established before winter, and come spring give them a head start against the weeds.
HAVE WEEDS had their way with you this year? The long, wet spring encouraged invaders from bindweed to horsetail to multiply and colonize. I can't remember such a year for garden thugs.
Gardening is all about covering the ground, with hardscape, gravel or plants you actually want to be growing. Bare soil is as clear an invitation to weeds as a hosta leaf is to a slug.
With our patience and bodies still worn from all that weeding, why not fill in any bare, weedy spots with ground covers before next spring's onslaught? Cooler weather and autumn rains will help new plants get established before winter, and come spring give them a head start against the weeds.

Low-lying, carpeting plants come to mind when we talk ground covers. I love dark, crinkle-leafed ajuga, creeping thyme and Corsican mint to edge beds and fill in between pavers. But there are many more possibilities. Taller plants, like ornamental grasses, small shrubs, and dense perennials all work as ground covers. Really, any plant that spreads obligingly but not aggressively, and grows thickly enough to keep down the weeds, will do the job.
For a stunning example of taller ground covers, check out the entry bed near the parking lot at the Bellevue Botanical Garden. Ribbons of catmint and ruby red barberry punctuate masses of ornamental grasses in varying textures. If any weeds are trying to get a toehold on this hillside, you sure can't see them.
Three things to remember about ground covers: Choose wisely so the ground covers themselves don't become the weeds you were trying to prevent in the first place. Plant ground covers close together so they smother weeds sooner rather than a few years from now. And third, do all you can to get them off to a good start.
This means preparing the soil, weeding it thoroughly, adding compost and mulch. A soaker hose will keep the young plants well-watered next summer.
For ground covers that take foot traffic, check out "Stepables" (www.stepables.com/). Broaden your definition, and consider everything from strawberries to ferns and dwarf conifers as possible ground-cover candidates. A few of my favorites are sedges (especially the auburn Carex testacea), hellebores and drifts of golden Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola').
It's hard to predict which plants will prove to be invasive. Who understands the alchemy that turns a plant into a raging demon in one location but not another? I've known gardeners who have struggled to grow the same English ivy the rest of us rip out in horror.
Every gardener has plants they regret; play it safe and stay away from those listed. While these all-too-successful ground covers (often marketed as "robust" or "vigorous") are widely available in nurseries, each should carry the botanical equivalent of a Mr. Yuk sticker.

That was.... different....
I definatly like the art direction, how trippy man!
A little on the disturbing side (in a good way)
Fuck the kids
Put that shit on paper. You did one better. You put that shit on digital paper. A digital flipbook. And I pressed play on that digital flipbook and reaffirmed my own negative thoughts about Halloween and how our entire culture reveres children all year long while i'm getting fucked in MY ass with bills and rent.
I'm only being sort of serious. Serious in the sense that someone could in fact take this as a political message. When in reality it is a just about a man, presumably yourself, beating up a child-like depiction of Jim Carey. Which brings me to my ultimate point, and the obvious point of your flash.
The Mask was a shitty fucking movie. Lets be honest here people, Jim Carey was rarely if ever funny. The best character in the entire movie was the dog, and they even had to go and ruin that by adding the obnoxious and heinously dressed MASK character TO the dog. Creating some sort of hybrid of uncomic foolishness and a disaster of 1990's graphics technology. I want to fuck New Line Cinema in the ass after viewing it. And DID YOU KNOW, that it was nominated for an OSCAR for BEST VISUAL EFFECTS? What in the name of all that is fuck.
I'm being mostly serious now. The Mask really was not a good movie, but obviously this flash movie has a point. And that point is..
There is no fucking point. There isn't supposed to be a fucking point. I hate having to get up 70 times a night and give some snot nosed mother fucker some of MY candy just because he dressed up like a little miniature version of something I hate. And sometimes in my head I think about going out there and smashing their skulls in, perhaps raping a few. It's a fleeting thought, i'm not a god damned maniac, but at least i'm smart enough to remember and recognize my fleeting thoughts. This is an entire MOVIE of a fleeting thought most people would simply brush away in milliseconds.
I've drawn the conclusion that I have a lot of anger on the basis of this review considering I quite enjoyed this movie. I simply dislike Jim Carey's body of work and dislike anyone who would be discouraged by your flashes on the basis that there is no particular thought other than shock value. Creativity to some people is in the form of stained glass on a church window or a bunch of fucking rainbow butterflies or some stupid shit.
Review in a nutshell:
It is great to vent your anger through internet flash animation reviews rather than just punching pillows. The best way, tho would be raping little children. Trust me, it really makes you feel like a man! A man's MAN!
This is one of your better works.
This one had more soul/meaning/humor/fucked-upness to it, hard to explain, but all the detail in this is pretty well as usual, it'd be good to see more like this one.
th way this is drawn
is ur best
this is besT
I think too many people miss the point...
There are many dumb-ass children ignorantly assuming they're safe without adults to accompany them on Halloween. I ask everyone else, really, would you consider a child dressing up as Adolf Hitler a normal, reasonable child? Me neither.
The guys in the house were obviously wanting those kids to fuck off and the sign was a fair enough cue to leave. Taking the visuals at face value reflects from the reviewers as much ignorance as those petulant children. Perhaps they deserve to get raped too?
Although I personally don't delight at the sight of child-rape I find most of the visuals absolutely brilliant. The bright colors in combination with the fluid animation is truly astounding. I know effort when I see it and love the mind-fuck atmosphere you produce. While others try to be unique by FOLLOWING standards set by "normal" people, you manage to do something that all the others dare not do... create a shockingly perverse animation that will knock small children (and big babies) 6-feet underground with reckless abandon.

Eat Street Social's Torpedo Room has an opening date
Cocktails from last fall at Eat Street Social
Mo Perry
In the early spring of this year, we wrote about Eat Street Social's plans to open a sort of pop-up bar-within-a-bar on its patio. The intention was to launch this summer, make the inaugural theme tiki, and introduce a new theme to the bar and the very special specialty drinks each subsequent year. Well, summer has practically come and gone, but Eat Street Social co-head bartender Nick Kosevich tells Dara Moskowitz-Grumdahl on her radio show Off the Menu he's still planning to go tiki and revealed the name of the new bar: The Torpedo Room.
The Torpedo Room will be open to the public on September 3. Check out Eat Street Social'sFacebook page
for updates and invites to exclusive pre-opening events.

Adolph Hitler was the worst thing that ever happened to the world. And in the 2014 German seriocomic film, Look Who's Back, he returns to the modern world and sets about happening to it again.
Halfway through the film, Hitler reminds the young man who is making a documentary about him of two important facts. One, he announced everything he was going to do in his book, Mein Kampf, published eight years before he came to power. And two, he came to power in a free election.
Here in 2016 U.S.A., we are presented with a candidate who has told us everything he is about and much of what he intends to do in easy-to-understand language, universally available for review by googling "things Trump has said. "
In a few months we will have an opportunity to elect him in what will be a slightly less-than-free election, considering the stumbling blocks that have been erected to restrain many voters who normally vote Democratic from exercising their franchise. Nonetheless, it will have about it the patina of a free election.
The German people had no reason not to understand what they were getting. They knew who he was, they wanted who he was, and they got him.
I am not comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler. Hitler was an evil genius. Trump is a cents-off demagogue who has happened upon an audacious sales pitch precisely attuned to the ear of a xeno- and homophobic, misogynistic, poorly educated, and plain fed-up constituency that just may elect him in November.
If they do—if we do—no one can tell us that, like the Germans, we didn't know what we were getting.
And make no mistake, we produced that constituency ourselves over the past 35 years. So we have no grounds to excuse ourselves for the train wreck that may be coming.

Political revolution? As we bask in the short interval between Bernies New Hampshire rout of the Democratic establishment this week and the unknowable future in Nevada, South Carolina, and beyond, perhaps we can pause a moment to contemplate the possibility.
I have written in this space of my reservations regarding Bernies agenda, particularly his flagship issue of income inequality. His plan for a $15-per-hour minimum wage in a few years is hopelessly inadequate.
However, it is inarguable that he has hit the nail on the head regarding the ills America faces. And, incredibly, the electorate is responding to his message. Incredible, because most candidates never shut up about how exceptional and wonderful and perfect America is compared to the rest of the dreary, ill-informed, and dysfunctional world. Newsweek, too, had a piece following the NH primary which noted how very unusual this campaign round is in that regard.
I have also written in this space, "We will take our country back by ballot or by bullet. I cannot see any third alternative, and bullets are notoriously unpredictable. People are making noises about third parties, but nothing significant has been launched that I know of. Now is the time."
This was way back in October 2011, when there was no hint of a Sanders candidacy. I wrote quite a lot about third parties back then because I could not imagine the coming of a candidate from either major party (could you?) who would espouse systemic reform to the extent that Bernie has.
So perhaps we do have a political revolution in the making. We certainly have as much of one as I am likely to see in my few remaining years. The establishment, as we have seen, will stop at very little to put the kibosh on that revolution, as they must. Establishments don't make revolutions, people do.
So thank you, Bernie, for the frisson of hope you gave us this week. If the ball keeps rolling, well and good. If it falters, if the misrepresentations, belittlement, threats, and prognostications of doom from the establishment pundits, pols, and plutocrats combine to sufficiently intimidate and frighten the sovereign voters of this great nation, well, no one will be surprised.
But we'll always have New Hampshire.

We all are angry. We all are vindictive. We all are envious.
None of us of sound mind and body is free of the inclination, all too often, to feel and express the most deplorable, dispiriting, and destructive of human emotions. And the fact that we all are also capable of compassion and the many varieties of love does not compensate for that fact, unless we consciously reject the destructive in favor of the life-affirming attitudes and emotions.
It is especially important that we do this in the political arena. The Republican field in the 2016 presidential race is filled with individuals who are adept at arousing our least admirable and most destructive emotions. The more adept they are, the higher they rank in the polls, with Donald Trump—part demagogue, part buffoon—today leading the pack.
These people, whichever of them becomes the partys nominee, would have us renege on the social contract we have with ourselves.
They would increase the income inequality that already today is marked by the largest gap in history and a disappearing middle class.
They would consign to the capitalist system large swaths of public life—education, retirement, infrastructure—that depend upon cooperation and not competition or the profit motive to succeed.
They would marginalize and criminalize large sectors of our population while protecting the privileges and power of a tiny band of the super-rich.
They would enter upon dangerous military adventures that have already siphoned trillions from our coffers in pursuit of losing battles and in support of corrupt dictatorships that tyrannize and murder their own people.
Unfortunately, on the Democratic side, though the picture is not so dire, neither can it be considered very hopeful. Hillary Clinton is the epitome of a "business as usual" candidate, and only at our great peril can we carry on as we have for the past 35 years. And even Bernie Sanders, with his "political revolution" fails to adequately address questions of militarism, domestic unrest, environmental catastrophe, and—surprisingly since this is his defining issue—income inequality (see my Open Letter to Bernie Sanders in September 2015).
We must set aside our anger, our vindictiveness, our envy, and our fears. We are better than this. We are stronger than this. We are a caring, liberty-loving, rambunctious, ingenious, and generous people. And our happiness depends on promoting the happiness of others. The fact that we have not attended to this business for a generation or two is responsible for the sorry state we find ourselves in at this start of a new year.

It's gratifying when you find a genius who agrees with you. Here's what Einstein once said:
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men—above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
Einstein doesn't just mean you need to keep your boss happy. If, for instance, your fellow citizens are ill-housed, un- or underemployed, impoverished, unhealthy, and uneducated, you can bet your life your happiness will be diminished if not ultimately destroyed.
Your happiness is diminished when your paycheck is plundered to provide a niggardly subsistence to those unable to provide for themselves. This includes the three million people who earn at or below the minimum wage (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), not to mention the millions more who earn less than a living wage.
The current federal minimum wage ($7.25/hour since July 2009) is considerably less than half a living wage by most accounts (see, e.g., the living wage calculators at MIT and the Economic Policy Institute).
Your happiness is diminished by the increase in all sorts of crime and corruption that thrive in times when the absence of "smiles and well-being" is so apparent among so many. We are living in an angry world, where in the U.S. a mass shooting happens on average more than once a day; where millions risk death to flee places that should be considered their home and sanctuary; where existence is threatened for other millions by rising ocean levels and capricious weather patterns; where a vicious fundamentalism has replaced strong-man tyrannies and spread its venom throughout the world.
Your happiness is diminished by the cost of dealing with all this unhappiness, in domestic surveillance, enforcement, and imprisonment; and in international conflicts that siphon trillions from our treasury.
In Darwinian terms, ensuring the other guy's "smiles and well-being" is a survival mechanism, not some feel-good, altruistic effort, and this is Einstein's point: Our survival depends on the other person's survival; our happiness on their happiness.
No candidate for president has proposed policies or programs that are not, finally and essentially, business as usual, or worse, or much worse. No candidate has proclaimed that we must rewrite our social contract with ourselves, to acknowledge the truth of Einsteins observation and to pursue its goals with dispatch. Not even Bernie.
And for that reason, I despair of the short-term future for our nation, and of the long-term future for our planet.

You reap what you sow.
Western Europe and the United States have, for several hundred years, enslaved, colonized, and ravaged peoples around the world. We have overthrown legitimate governments and established and supported brutal tyrannies in the name of stability and to support unbridled capitalistic pursuits. While our enviable democracies have enabled a level of peace and plenty which made of us the beacon of hope for the rest of the world, we have taken every opportunity to withhold a share of our good fortune. And in being willing to go to any lengths to protect and enhance our own interests, we have created monsters of much of the rest of the world.
What happened in Paris last night; in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, in 2001; in Madrid in 2004; in London in 2005; is going to happen continually and forever. Unless we change.
We know what we have to do, to undo what we have done. It will be a long and bumpy road. If we dont decide to take it, however, we know the cost, as we already have begun to see our enviable democracies under attack, both from within and without.
Our only avenue to continued peace, liberty, and plenty is to bring peace, liberty, and plenty to the world.

Thanks to a cool new tool called Genius, you can now talk back to me with comments, arguments, guffaws, whatever. Simply block any word, phrase, sentence, or group of sentences. An odd-looking icon (what is that, anyway?) will appear above the blocked copy. Click it and an annotation section will open up on the right side of your screen. Once you annotate something, it thereafter displays with a yellow background. Click anything with a yellow background, and its associated annotations open up.
You may be sure I will keep an eye open for annotations and will respond to any that are not abusive, profane, or stupid. It would be even better if Genius could send me an email alert whenever a new annotation is created.

I am writing this letter to you on my page because, even though the email I received from you today says, "we need to hear your ideas as to what issues are most important to you ...." there is nowhere on your official campaign website for me to say these things to you.
It is good to see you are fleshing out your platform beyond the one-note income inequality issue with which you launched your campaign. I agree with everything in this email that sets forth your position on many issues, with the following exception:
You say, "We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. . .Over a period of a few years the national minimum wage should be $15 per hour."
You need to go much further than this. For one thing, $15 per hour is not a living wage right now, let alone will it be in a few years. MIT has an excellent Living Wage Calculator which I believe originated at Penn State. It indicates that a living wage for an adult with one child in our state of Vermont is already $22.04 per hour. Now of course what constitutes a living wage must of necessity be a matter for careful study and computation. The Economic Policy Institute, for example, estimates a living wage for the same adult with one child living in Vermont at $25.71 per hour.
I hate to say this to you, Bernie, because I believe you are sincere in your campaign. However, anyone arguing for less than a living wage TODAY is playing into the hands of the corporatocracy, not to say colluding with them, to maintain a high level of poverty in this country.
I have taken the pledge not to vote for any candidate who does not support my personal platform: A guaranteed job at a living wage for any adult 18-65 who wants one. Then dismantle the huge, expensive, humiliating, and ineffective social "safety net" of alphabet programs that simply sustain dependency among a population perfectly capable of independence.
The second essential plank of my platform is real education reform. The waste of brain power in this country (and throughout our world) is a disgrace. Real reform is going to be expensive and disruptive. However, it needs to be pursued with a single-minded purpose: That ALL our children will be provided with a quality education, whatever it takes, whatever it takes, whatever it takes.
So good luck, Bernie. I don't expect to be voting for you or anyone else in 2016, unless a candidate comes along who is truly willing to speak truth to a populace exhausted by the wretched governance that has been foisted on us since the Reagan administration. We are in a downward spiral in this country, and a $15 minimum wage in a few years is not going to slow that descent one little bit.
