Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kamvie Durable I snapped a few photos after purchasing the brown (slight red hue), blue, and green. These are exactly as I expected. They are actually more durable than what I had imagined, which is great. As another review stated, they are faded in color. They are also 'vintage' looking. The paint is distressed so it does look like they have been scuffed here and there. You can really see it in the picture of the green hook. They are about the length of a regular sized ink pad (shown in pics). Work wonderfully for hanging my coffee mugs on the wall above my coffee bar! I recommend for keys, mugs, purses, hats, etc. They're versatile and hold up well under wear. October 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by austindenise Great addition to my vast collection of hooks :) I absolutely love decorative hooks and use them for so many things throughout my house (jewelry, purses, hats, scarves, keys, dog leashes...you get the picture). These are more simple than some of the other more colorful offerings from WM, but are just as cute, sturdy, and well-priced. Mix them in with some of the brightly colored Indonesian ones on your bedroom wall to hang necklaces, purses, etc, and you suddenly have a beautiful way to display your accessories for easy accessibility, AND you can fill up empty wall space without having to search for artwork! April 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shelley Good but... The picture shows you will get a variety of 4 different colors. This was not the case. Three were green and one had no paint at all. In the end I'll just paint them myself. January 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by MegWW Great Hooks Meh Color These hooks are a much duller color than what shows on the picture. I had wanted brighter colors for my daughter's room. They are sturdy, however, and hold quite a bit of weight. I just can't give them a full 4 stars because the picture doesn't show what they really look like. February 28, 2014

That 'string of bananas" is cute. I love out of the ordinary plants like that.
I also have a kids wagon that's not in use anymore. Think I'll use it like you did. LOL
Thanks for the idea!

Your Agapanthus is looking great, mine doesn't seem to want to bloom this year...maybe it will just be late due to all the crazy weather

Darla I love your Agapanthus. I wonder if they would do all right over wintering in my basement? Strings of Bananas. LOL! What a fun plant and it so looks like its name. It is a new one to me. Your planting combinations are always so pretty. I always love seeing that Silver Sage. I love its leaves. Have a great week.

Darla, what combos. Love them. I garden a LOT in containers. For some reason I can't get Creeping Jenny to survive here. I lost most of my grasses this past winter. They were doing so good last Fall. Agapanthas {2 colors} hasn't bloomed in a couple yrs. I have them in pots {what else}. It's hard to find the light sweet potato vine.
Will have to check out the red spiky thing. Never heard of it.

Hi Darla! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment this morning...it was nice to 'meet' you. What a beautiful garden you have and such a variety of plants! I'm still building ours here on the farm..we're starting from scratch so we're taking it slow. We have a mailbox that is similar to yours...I love it. I see you follow someone from Armstrong British Columbia...my daughter is only a few miles from there and I lived about an hour from there for over 30 years. It's a small world. Have a wonderful day!

For decades, FMH Cardiologists have been providing outstanding cardiac care to the citizens of central Maryland. Now, there is a treatment protocol for patients diagnosed with a certain kind of heart attack that is most frequently an emergency situation.
When patients are having a heart attack, immediate action may be necessary to relieve the crushing chest pain, and to reestablish blood flow through heart vessel(s) blocked with plaque. Emergency treatment may be with medicines to open blocked vessels over time, or surgical intervention to open the blocked vessels immediately. FMH has the capability and expertise to provide the immediate surgical intervention to open blocked heart vessels.
FMH Cardiology services include a 48-bed Cardiac Telemetry Unit, Echocardiography Lab, LifeNet Remote EKG Transport, Intensivist Care, Medical Cardiologists, Interventional Cardiologists, Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization, Primary Angioplasty for emergency heart attack patients, and Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation. Click on the links below to learn more about these topics.
Chest pain is one of the most common complaints that will bring a patient to the Emergency Department. Seeking immediate care may be lifesaving, and considerable public education has been undertaken to get patients to access medical care when chest pain strikes. While you may be worried about a heart attack, there are many other causes of pain in the chest that the healthcare provider will need to consider. Some diagnoses are life threatening, while others are less dangerous.
Deciding the cause of chest pain is sometimes very difficult and may require blood tests, x–rays, CT scans and other tests to sort out the diagnosis. Often though, a careful history taken by the healthcare provider may be all that is needed to find the answer.
Frederick Memorial Hospital consistently followed the treatment guidelines in ACTION Registry®-GWTGTM for four consecutive quarters and met a performance standard of 90% for specific performance measures to receive this 2012 award.

Who here watch's Digimon?
Who here watch's Digimon?
ME, well I watched. BUT I STILL LOVE IT.
I used to watch it when I was about 7. I always pretended I was Gatomon. =^.^=
Bishies Claimed: Ed~Rose~Armony~Dante
~Mikey ^.^
Pairs: DSX*Pichubro*Red
*still watches it*
The fifth season of Digimon is being dubbed (if I'm not mistaken) right now. I saw the first epiosde of it in Japanese with Japanese subtitles. (I don't know what it's about, only that the main character does NOT have goggles, but Agumon (sp?) comes back...)
Fifth season's Agumon's digivolution's names are shit. The original was awesome.
Well, I didn't know what was going on. I can't read Japanese and was sitting there going:
Rookie/Child: Agumon
Champion/Adult: GeoGreymon
Ultimate/Perfect: RiseGreymon
Mega/Ultimate: ShineGreymon
Mega/Ultimate: ShineGreymon Burst Mode/ShineGreymon False Burst Mode
Wow that's bad. I watched the first two seasons, maybe the third, and the movie. After that I forgot what channel it was on and lost all hope on it.
I also used to dress up as Ty's little sister.. Kairi or something?
Bishies Claimed: Ed~Rose~Armony~Dante
~Mikey ^.^
Pairs: DSX*Pichubro*Red
i love it well i did but it never shows no more
i still love it
Personally, I loved all seasons. 1 through 4. 1-3 being my total favvie, 4 being somewhat decent. 5, I haven't seen yet so yeah. But the new version of agumon's digivolutions are a huge turn off.
Kari, that's right, thanks Peeki. I forgot. =^.^"= The first season will always remain my favorite.
I still have decks of Digimon cards somewhere..

If you guys have Toon Disney, they show it on their Jetix block, but I think they are showing the fourth season for now.
I saw a random episode there one day and had absolutely no clue what was going on.

It's a pretty nice adventure I guess. Most of it I thought sucked. I remember in grade school when Beckett had a Pokemon v Digimon picture in there. All the older kids were all like 'Digimon would kill Pokemon' and stuff like that. Now Pokemon is still thriving and Digimon is hardly remembered.
Digimon would kill Pokemon.
Actually, Digimon Frontier (4th season), is what me and my girlfriend really get into. We both like Takuya, and think that he's cute, especially as Flamon, so, yeah I watch it, and I know that she does too.
I used to, but FoxKids went cable. >.<*
This is hardly a laughing matter sasuke!
I like series 1,2 and 3 as well

From South Africa to Texas and now Arizona, Kylie Louw has successfully followed her collegiate soccer career to become an assistant coach for the Arizona soccer program under Tony Amato.
Amato served as Louw's coach at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) from 2009 to 2012.
"It was an easy transition," Louw said. "I am familiar with his coaching style, because I played under him. It was easy for me to slide into what his plans are. We have the same views on a lot of things and similar philosophies."
Adjusting from being one of the most successful soccer players in SFA program history and being a member of the 2012 South African Olympic team to becoming an assistant coach has been the difficult part of the transition for Louw.
"For me, personally, going from playing to coaching is a little bit difficult," Louw adds. "It has nothing to do with Tony, it's a personal thing. Otherwise, it has been pretty easy and I've enjoyed it."
However, she finds many positives from having the student-athlete experience herself to share with her players.
"It helps me see a different side," Louw said. "I always say, 'When I was a player.' I hate saying that, but a lot of the time it translates. I can understand and relate to the girls a lot more. There are a lot of things that players do that coaches don't understand, but it is easier for me to see why they're doing that."
Louw can use her playing experience to identify with the current players and help them relate to her.
"I went through the same things," Louw adds. "I think it's huge, especially because the girls can relate to me. It's not just a one-sided thing. I think a lot of the time for them it's like 'She's been there. She's done that. She knows what she's talking about.'"
Louw can also use her experience playing on other teams.
"Playing on the national team is huge because I've seen the different sides of the game. The college game is very different from international competition. Obviously, South African soccer is very different from American style. It's been interesting but all put together it makes it easier and fun. I've been enjoying it."
One of the easiest adjustments for Louw, which is unusual for some, is the climate change.
"The climate is great," Louw said. "It is hot, but it's very similar to South Africa. In east Texas, I struggled way more because it's hot and humid. I think I can handle it. It's been good so far. I like Arizona. Tucson reminds me a lot of home."
Before the summer comes to an end, Louw wants to go back to her home of South Africa to refresh for the upcoming season. Until then, she and the coaching staff have been making plans for their first season together.
"Over the summer, we have been doing a lot to prepare," Louw said. "We are coming in new so everything we do is brand new. We are starting fresh. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that we are getting ready for the girls."
Last year, Arizona soccer had a record of 6-11-3. Despite a losing record, the new staff has new, higher expectations for the 2013 Wildcats.
"It's very difficult to come in and say 'this is what we are going to do. This is the plan. This is how we are going to do it,'" Louw said. "It's a work in progress. There are things we aspire to do. We obviously want to make the NCAA tournament. That would be huge. We want to take it one game at a time. We have a lot of incoming freshman and 33 players on our roster. It's a lot of work in the beginning and getting the team settled is going to be a challenge in itself."
Although Louw was the last member of the coaching staff to arrive to Tucson, her relationship with the team has grown.
"I think in the beginning they were a little apprehensive because I came in a little late," Louw said. "I think they have taken to me very well. I think we are pretty close as a team. A lot of them are staying over the summer, which isn't very common, so I think they are all excited for the season."
With a relationship growing with the team she can now call her own, there's one thing that Louw wants her players to take away from her as coach.
"Especially in college you only get four years of soccer," Louw said. "You can't waste it. There are a lot of decisions that you have to make. You have to be passionate about the game and make the right decisions and do everything that you can to be at your best performance because time is limited. I hate saying you can't waste time, but every game counts."
Louw also knows it is crucial to live in the moment and appreciate the little things.
"Be passionate because it will fly by and next thing you know it will be the last game. I think it's important as a player to not wake up dreading practice but rather wanting to go to practice. A lot of people take that for granted."

basically i want to buy a mini lop bunny, but it seems such mixed opinions on them! they seem either lovely and cuddly and friendly, or an absolute nightmare! I really want something little and quiet and cuddly (as much as a rabbit can be) but when i was younger i had the rabbit from hell, she literally was the devil reincarnated. So now i am just so worried that when it gets hormonal it will change from a bundle of fluff into pure evil again! Good old Buttercup the bunny scarring me for life ey!
anyway, i was just wondering if anyone had any experience with these at all? Wether i get a boy or a girl it will be sterilised as soon as poss and for now live in the shed and play in the garden and house when supervised, then when i go to uni in a few months im planning on smuggling it in my room and taking it for walks (optimistic yes i know haha!)
Any tips/opinions/personal experiance would be fab!

I used to have a lop eared dwarf, he was neutered but could still have a temper! I was the only person who could give him a cuddle, but on his terms ha ha! He hated you cleaning his hutch, sorry 3 storey apartment although he spent most of his time in the house. He was house trained and had a dirt tray and only went to his hutch to sleep or eat, until he was poorly then he moved himself into the spare room and slept under the bed! Sadly he had to be pts on valentines day - I hate that day. He was a real sweetie but I would not have another but more I can't cope with all the goodbyes.

I have a dwarf lop (who is not particularly dwarf) as a house rabbit. He is lovely and friendly but not great at being picked up. Thats probably because I don't tend to pick him up very often though. He comes and jumps on my knee or nudges my leg when he wants a cuddle so its very much on his terms. He has been neutered and never bits or scratches although he will occassionally grunt if he is a mood lol x

When my daughter was small we had two rabbits from the RSPCA, both dwarf lops, both male - one was the rabbit from hell like your Buttercup and my daughter was totally scared to do anything with him, the other was a lovely chap who was very laid back and friendly and who would go on walks round the garden on his rabbit harness and lead.
And about sneaking one into uni - in her second year at uni when they were out of halls, some friends of daughters got a house rabbit to share between the 4 people in the house, who is still there and goes home with the main carer in the holidays.

That sounnds pretty much like my Dwarf Lop, although he lives outside and doesn't really come up and nudge, I know that I didn't handle him enough when he was little though!

I have two rabbits among my menagerie of pets.
A male lion head and a female french lop both neutered They are like little and large lol. They are both house trained and very friendly. The male more so than the female. From experience males are far more friendly than females. They are really easy to litter train and do make great house pets.

The Great Depression and the Effects of World War II on America's Economic Recovery
The Great Depression of the 1930's is arguably the worst economic situation the United States of America has ever experienced in the country's history. Millions of Americans were jobless, and millions more were struggling to make ends meet. The industrial, financial and agricultural industries went amuck and were unstable during this period in the United States. Thousands of banks closed down and thousands of businesses went bankrupt due to the hard times in the 1930's. Many economists, historians and politicians to this day still debate as to how this economic down turn occurred, and many more speculate as to how America recovered from The Great Depression. Some surmise that economic recovery began shortly after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sworn into the office of the Presidency on March 4, 1933. In 1933, Roosevelt enacted the New Deal; the Second New Deal was adopted in 1935-36. However, although some economic burdens were lifted as a result of these two legislative accomplishments, Americans continued to experience hard economic times. It was not until the United States started to build up its armaments for World War II and the subsequent entering of the War that the United States commenced on a path of economic recovery.
The origins of The Great Depression have been debated for over eighty years; still, there has not been a complete consensus on what key factor contributed to the economic downturn in the 1930's. That is not to say that there is no agreement by scholars on what caused The Great Depression. Rather, many (though not all), of the explanations economists and historians say were the causes, overlap. Some scholars agree that certain aspects in decision-making and economic factors that happened played a part in the Depression; how significantly each factor contributed though, fluctuates.
One argument to explain the devastating economic collapse of the 1930's tries to assign blame, or highly emphasis the importance, of one factor over another. Another argument asserts that no one main factor caused the Depression; rather many factors played a part in causing The Great Depression. Dividing these modes of thought are those who believe that the Depression was mainly caused by specific actions or inactions of the United States. Still others believe that the economic turmoil was the result of European factors. Another division on the interpretation of the Depression can be seen in terms of certain economic philosophies such as the supply-siders and demand-siders. A fourth possible explanation claims that The Depression was inevitable; it was just part of a business cycle that is inherent in capitalism.[1]
To understand the effects of World War II and the resulting recovery of America's economy, one must understand the history of The Great Depression as well as how and when The Great Depression started. To do so, one must look back to World War I. During the war, 1914-18 European agricultural production decreased because the warring states were fighting on Europe's soil. Thus, to have foodstuffs ready and available for their people and troops, Europe needed to import much of the resources that they themselves were unable to produce. The United States was at the helm, ready to be the breadbasket of Europe during their time of need, which led to an influx of exports and the subsequent profit of doing so for the farmers for the duration of the war. Robert McElvaine deduced, "When wartime Food Administrator Herbert Hoover allowed the price of wheat to be set at $2.20 a bushel, farmers increased wheat acreage by nearly 40 percent and output by almost 50 percent."[2] But after the war was over, and the demand for exported agricultural goods from America decreased, the farmers in America not only had a surplus of goods but also a heavy amount of debt because farmers purchased more land during the war so they could produce more products that were needed to aid Europe. McElvaine concludes: "This in turn meant chronic 'overproduction' in the 1920's, a massive agricultural depression during America's 'prosperity decade,' and a further dislocation in the world economic structure." Even after the 1920's, this problem of overproduction of food was still prevalent. America had 106,000,000 acres of wheat, 50,000,000 acres of corn and 40,000,000 acres of cotton being produced by 1932.[3] This high number of crops flooded the market and lowered the prices of a farmer's goods. This is but one analysis, showing that the economy during the 1920's was not all that great for farmers and that this was but the first step to the collapse of the economy in 1929.[4]
World War I played another role in furthering the advent of The Great Depression; America became the new world power and regulator of the global economy, a position that many Americans did not embrace. Before, the British were the lead financial superpower of the world, managing the many intricacies that this entailed, but after World War I, America was on top. This shifted America from a debtor nation to a creditor nation. Rather than acting responsibly with this newly ordained role, they were, McElvaine emphasizes, "Trying nothing less in the 1920's than to be the world's banker, food producer, and manufacturer, but to buy as little as possible from the world in return." This unfair balance of trade led many countries to put high tariffs on American goods and thus decreased the financial profit from exported sales for American businesses. Although export sales amounted to 10 percent of America's GDP, America only lost $1.5 billion from 1929-33.[5] This is not to say that the imbalance of foreign trading did not contribute to The Great Depression, but rather it shows that domestic economic problems in America were far greater in effecting the financial collapse of the 1930's.
Even though many see post-World War I as the era of great wealth and prosperity in America, there were many economic problems, albeit manageable at the time, which some see as the beginning of The Great Depression. These problems included a faulty credit system in the stock market and consumer realm, a lack of personal savings and a misdistribution of wealth. Indeed, money was being made during the 1920's, but only a small percentage of the populations were making large profits. These select few families were those who owned the 200 or so companies in the United States that controlled nearly half of all American industry. These select few represented 22 percent of all wealth in the United States.[6] McElvaine confirms that according to the infamous Brookings Institution study, America's Capacity to Consume, "The top 0.1 percent of American families in 1929 had an aggregate income equal to that of the bottom 42 percent…24,000 families had a combined income as large as that shared by more than 11.5 million poor and lower-middle-class families."[7] This misdistribution of wealth inevitably wreaked havoc on an ever-growing economy based on consumption. If the upper class had all the buying power, only a small number of products, such as radios and automobiles, would be purchased. The lower classes could not afford to buy what was being supplied to the market and thus the wealth would not move, causing the economy to go down in flames. The elite came up with a brilliant idea to offset this problem that would inevitably destroy the economy, and that was the credit system.
The credit system was the last nail in the coffin for the American economy and was precipitated by the misdistribution of wealth. The only reason for its implementation was to give buying power to a large group of individuals that had little to no savings and lived pay check to pay check. Once the credit system was in place and people could pay in installments, the number of products being supplied escalated; credit allowed a demand-driven group to make purchases beyond their financial means. Thus, during the 1920's, the economy was artificially inflated by a credit system; people were incurring more debt than ever. Credit purchases helped the supply end of production make money, i.e. the upper class, while making the larger consumer end of the economy, i.e. the lower class, become more dependent on the upper class and the industries job market.
Credit went further than just being able to buy finished products; credit allowed the consumer to obtain stock market shares. People could buy large numbers of stocks for a small down-payment. Then, once they sold the stocks for more money than the purchase price, they had to pay interest to stock brokers, repay the original cost of the stocks, and keep the rest as profit. This system could also lead to great financial losses, which it did when the bubble burst during the Stock Market Crash in the fall of 1929, and most severely on October 29, 1929. The Stock Market Crash was an underlying cause of the Great Depression. While only 4 million people in the United States out of 120 million actually owned stock; only 1.5 million stockholders had large investments in the stock market. It can be said that during that autumn day in 1929 when the Stock Market Crashed, it led to the toppling of all the other weak industries on top of the other horrendous problems going on in America aforementioned.[8] McElvaine asks, "Did the Crash cause the Depression? There are two correct answers. If it is meant as a 'why' question, the answer is: 'Of course not!' If it is a 'how' question, the response must be: 'Yes, in part.'"[9]
After the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the economy took a turn for the worse. The GDP was significantly slashed, falling by $12 billion in 1930, when the United States government enacted higher tariffs during Hoover's administration.[10] The Stock Market crash caused the farming industry to suffer even greater losses than it did during the 1920's. The lower-middle classes were no longer able to buy new things with credit let alone pay off debt already on their credit, which forced them to withdraw whatever savings they had in the banks. In turn, the banks did not have enough paper money to give to their customers; thus, banks closed down and went out of business. This resulted in millions of people moneyless, unable to pay off loans or buy new things. This crisis was the worst-case scenario in the American factory owners' mindset. If there was no demand for products because people had no money, then they had no reason to make as many products. Factory workers would be laid off. This cylindrical conundrum led to The Great Depression and began the hard times America endured during the 1930's. The two main leaders during this catastrophe were President Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. These men had two very different ways of looking at how to best address and solve the nation's problem.
President Hoover thought that The Great Depression was just part of an economic cycle that would eventually fix itself. He based his contention on the many other recessions that had occurred in American history: 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873 and 1893 to be exact.[11] Hoover espoused the notion that if the American people just had a little more self-reliance, they could pull through and everything would turn out fine. In his famous "Rugged Individualism" speech, Hoover declared that, "When the Republican Party came into full power it went at once resolutely back to our fundamental conception of the state and the rights and responsibility of the individual…Our government to succeed in business would need to become in effect a despotism."[12] Hoover firmly believed that if the government initiated programs to alleviate the burden of hard times on the people by tampering with Wall Street and the business world, it would undermine the American self-governing system and thus set the stage for America to become a dictatorship. Many American's suffered because of Hoover's inaction. In 1932, Mayor Joseph L. Heffernan of Youngstown, Ohio wrote, "I have seen thousands of these defeated, discouraged, hopeless men and women, cringing and fawning as they come ask for public aid. That is the fundamental tragedy of America."[13]
Hoover did not understand that the economic downturn in America was far more serious than a recession and something drastic needed to be done to stop the bleeding, so to speak. However, Hoover essentially did nothing to stop the economy from going further down; indeed, the economic condition deteriorated during Hoover's last term as President. The American people needed help; they were sick of Hoover telling them things would just get better. So, in the election of 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President. He promised change and hope; he promised that the government would finally send help to the American people. Thus began the first 100 Days, also known as Roosevelt's New Deal.
Almost inarguably, Roosevelt effected more changes in his first 100 Days in office than many other Presidents effected during their entire time in office. Roosevelt made a promise to the American people that if he were elected, he would pass bills and start government programs that would jumpstart the economy. In his inaugural address, Roosevelt declares war on The Depression, "Our greatest primary task is to put people to work…by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects…"[14] Roosevelt was true to his word and quickly started allocating billions of dollars for government programs that he believed would solve America's money woes. Roosevelt implemented a multitude of government programs, and many bills were passed during his first 100 Days in office. The most important programs, aimed at solving the economic crisis, included the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, Public Works Administration, Civil Works Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps, and the National Recovery Act.[15]
The programs and commissions were strikingly similar in that none of them were ever able to free America from the strong grip of the dire economy. The reason for this is quite simple: The programs did not create enough jobs to affect the majority of people in America. Even for those individuals and families who were fortunate enough to benefit from some of the programs, the money they received was not enough to give them buying power and thus rejuvenate a demand economy. Money received from these work programs was spent on basic needs. Some of the programs, like the AAA and NRA, mostly benefited big businesses and did little to help the majority of individuals in the manufacturing, small business and agricultural fields. Simply put, most of President Roosevelt's programs, designed to get America out of the Great Depression, did little to bring jobs to Americans. For example, FERA did nothing to recover the economy; unemployed recipients relied on government checks.
Roosevelt did implement safety nets such as government-backed deposits for bank accounts, Social Security, and refinancing for home loans.[16] In Roosevelt's famous 1935 speech to Congress concerning Social Security and his Second New Deal, he stated, "This law, too, represents a cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means complete. It is a structure intended to lessen the force of possible future depressions."[17] Although he further implemented bills that supported older programs he made earlier in his first term, all of them did little to actually get America out of financial despair.[18] By 1939, America's GDP was at $92.2 billion dollars, nearly $30 billion dollars more than 1933. Unfortunately, the unemployment rate was 17.2% in 1939. Granted the percentage of unemployed American's had decreased since 1933's 24.9%, but millions of Americans were still out of work.[19] America needed a full-scale effort to start generating more industrial jobs. Industrial jobs would put money in American pockets and enable them to not only pay bills, but to buy. An all-out effort in the form of making more industrial jobs was the only way to end The Great Depression; it came in the form of World War II.
When looking at the true impact of World War II and how it saved America from The Great Depression, one must look at the hard data. By 1942, the unemployment rate was at 4.2% and by the end of 1945 it was down to 1.9%. The GDP at 1942 $139.06 billion dollars and by the end of 1945 it was at $173.52 billion dollars. There is no question that once America started militarizing itself and focusing all its efforts on the war, the economy rebounded more rapidly than it did throughout two terms of Roosevelt's administration. The government was spending over $136 billion dollars by 1945; the defense budget accounted for $64 billion.[20] Funds were no longer going towards handout programs like FERA that had done relatively little to help the American people while leaving them feeling like "nothings" for not having a job. World War II necessitated the production of defense items. Factories were built or reopened, and millions of jobs were created. In a sense, World War II did what such programs like the PWA, CWA and CCC tried to do; now, instead of toiling with trees and sidewalks, American workers were making necessary, tangible items, workers were not just doing busy work. The data supports this point.
After 1945, the economy had fully recovered. Factories switched to domestic products again and were making lots of them. Most importantly, there was a demand for such products. The average "disposable" income was over 25%.[21] During the war, no one could buy a new car or other commodities of the same sort. Almost everything had been rationed and in limited supply and rations led to an influx of savings. Investments in war bonds also contributed to the amount of surplus income in the typical American household and allowed consumers more buying power when the war ended. Distribution of wealth also occurred after World War II. In 1929, the top 5% of the wealthiest Americans owned 30% of America's wealth. By 1946, that number dropped to 21.3 percent.[22] This change in wealth distribution meant economic prosperity in America; buying power was back in the hands of the middle-class. And, money moved in the economy. The very problems that started The Great Depression were entirely revised because of World War II. The war launched America into one of its most prosperous periods in American history, the 1950's.
The Great Depression was one of the most trying tests America has ever had to endure in its history. The causes of The Great Depression are many, and scholars to this day still debate on what was the main cause of such a profound economic collapse. What can be agreed upon is that millions of American's were affected and that the government, with all its programs, could not alleviate the all-encompassing financial pain the devastating economy caused to the American people. With Franklin Roosevelt's New Deals, only so-much financial relief was achieved. Not until World War II did America's economic recovery begin. Once the war was over, the fighting men and women and their families and the majority of the American people reaped the monetary fruits the war had ripened. The Great Depression, that started only fifteen years early, was over. After World War II, the economy changed for the better. One of the most prosperous times in American history emerged.

"the new deal created the modern first world. without the new deal we have a faster recovery back into a third world shit hole like all the pre-welfare state industrial nations. with the new deal we have a delayed recovery into the modern first world."
its also worth noting that people saying disdainfully new deal GOVERNMENT SPENDING didnt work and it took the war to get america out of the depression are committing a logical atrocity. the new deal was built on keynesian economics and using a war to lift an economy out of a depression is as keynesian as it gets, so basically you're saying the new deal didnt work because it wasnt new-dealy enough.
TECHNICALLY I'm saying hiring people to do services and spending money on those programs won't work, but rather, making jobs that involve making material items, i.e. a war machine, actually is were the spending should be concentrated in.

Fourth-Ranked Men's Lightweights Vie For Platt Cup At No. 3 Cornell
If recent history repeats itself, you can expect the Platt Cup to remain up for grabs for about 1950 of the 2000 meters on the Cayuga Inlet this weekend.
It was only one year ago when Princeton and Cornell both shared the No. 4 spot in the national rankings. The Tigers, winners of four straight Platt Cups, hosted Cornell in a showdown that was decided by less than half a second.
Princeton doesn't care about the final margin this weekend, but it would love to make sure it brings the Platt Cup back home in this historic 50th showdown in this series. Cornell, ranked third nationally, reclaimed the Cup last year by defeating Princeton by .3 of a second on Lake Carnegie. The Big Red took three of the four races during the morning, with the Princeton freshman eight being the lone Tiger victor.
Princeton is one spot behind Cornell in the national rankings, but the Tigers are unbeaten on the season. They were off last weekend, but they are building off an impressive performance against Georgetown, when they reclaimed the Fosburgh Cup by more than seven seconds.
"The guys are excited to have those wins under their belts," head coach Marty Crotty said during this week's edition of TigerCast. "Navy and Georgetown have certainly given us fits over the years, so we don't take them for granted."
Those wins are especially sweet for a young roster that is still in the earliest stages of varsity experience. There are six underclassmen in the varsity eight and a host of sophomores in the second varsity, and both boats have opened their seasons with a pair of comfortable wins.
"Any win gives them another week to build confidence and get comfortable in their boats, and in their own skin," Crotty said. "They are going to get ready for the stiffer competition coming down the road."
That competition includes Saturday's trip to Cornell, which is 1-1 on the season. That loss came by less than three seconds to Harvard, the reigning national champion.
Racing will begin at 8:30 am with the freshman eight, and the varsity eight will compete at 9. The lightweights will be joined by the open women, who will compete with Harvard and Cornell for the Class of 1975 Cup. Both teams will alternate races in the morning.

Whether it is flying flags in downtown Stuttgart, which is and has been a project of the Stuttgart Kiwanis Club for a number of years, or reading to the students in the Stuttgart schools, the day of Sept. 11, 2001 is still in the minds of many Stuttgart citizens.
"We, the Stuttgart Kiwanis Club, take pride in flying the flag," Brian Smith, the club's flag chairman, said.
Smith said the Stuttgart Kiwanis Club has been flying American flags on designated holidays for nearly 30 years and in recent years added Patriot Day and the upcoming Constitution Day, which is next Monday, on the list of holidays.
"The Kiwanis members alternate in helping raise and put the flags back on each of the holidays," Smith said.
The flag committee has several members, who are responsible for purchasing flags, selling flag contracts, placing brackets in front of businesses for the flags and calling volunteers on that specific holiday, Smith said.
"Our volunteers enjoy reading to the students on the day of 9/11," Norma Strabala, RSVP coordinator in Stuttgart, said. "The students also always enjoy the reading."
Strabala said RSVP volunteers, local firefighters and police officers and other government officials have been reading to students about the heroes of Sept. 11 for many years.
"The books are all age appropriate for the students," Strabala said. "The students and the teachers really enjoy the readings."
The students enjoy the members of the community reading to them and it is an excellent idea to combine the community and the school into a project that remembers such an important part of our history, Tia Summers, media specialist at Park Avenue Elementary School, said.
"It is a wonderful idea and we are pleased with it," Summers said. "The students like it when a fireman or policeman come to the school."
Today, the Fields of Heroes project, established by the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 48 and RSVP of Stuttgart, will kick off at 2:45 p.m. today at 13th Street and Park Avenue for people to buy a commemorative flag and certificate.
For more information on this project, contact Strabala at (870) 673-8584.

Slatkis_88 Very nice place to stay at and very spaceaous. It was a little far from the city but that was not a problem because the tram line number two was just outside the partement and it leaves ever 7 minutes. The service was very good. The owners were very nice and helpfull with whatever you needed. We would definitely come back. We recomend this apartment! A&Z
scolastika I can't sing the praises of this place enough. It was a fantastic beginning and end to my holiday in Italy. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming and is happy to help with any queries you may have regarding what to do and how to get there. Without his help we would have got the wrong train to Lake Como because we didn't know which station to go to. The B&B is in a useful location close to one of the main metro stations and only a few stops away from the main sights, meaning you can pop back to get things/drop things off in just a few minutes. The rooms are large and nicely decorated with comfortable beds and plenty of place to put your things. The bathrooms are clean and accessible. The breakfast let it down slightly; but then, Italian breakfasts are not known for being fantastic. When you arrive, be sure to note that there is a lift to take you up to the B&B! We didn't realise this and lugged two heavy suitcases up two flights of stairs before the owner caught up with us. Overall, El Paso Milano is exactly where you want to be for your stay in Milan.
Create your own travel plan including Milan as one of your stops. You can use it to store all your research (even hotels found on other websites!)

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsJanuary 22, 2014
During the 2012-13 recruiting year, employers extended offers to an average of 74 percent of students interviewed, according to results of NACE's 2013 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey. Meanwhile, students who received offers accepted them at a rate of 38.3 percent.
The return of these figures in recent years to ranges consistent with the pre-recession period indicates that the economy is gradually recovering. (See Figure 1.)
However, in the 2013 survey responses, the average offer rate and average acceptance rate were somewhat positively correlated, suggesting that there remains a perception among new graduates that the hiring market has not yet recovered from the recent recession and, that any offer of employment should not be turned down in favor of the possibility of receiving a better offer afterward.
The 2013 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey was conducted May 22, 2013, through July 31, 2013, among NACE employer-member organizations, 275 of which—28 percent—participated. The 2013 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey report is available through the MyNACE area of NACEWeb. Highlights from the report are available at www.naceweb.org/surveys/college-recruiting.aspx.

Post subject: Hi everyone!
Hi, all. I am 42-year-old Mark Laverdiere, married to a wonderful lady. My family lives in Orillia, Canada. My wife and I have twin boys. My wife has a passion for romance-comedy books and stuff like that. I would like to know how many of you can recommend a great one for her to read. But I would also like to find a book that documents an author's personal adventures in love. I am pretty sure my wife would love that, too, considering how many mishaps and miscues we have had as a married couple. Can anyone out there help me in my quest? I would be very much obliged...I am a (retired) fighter pilot currently handling an assignment in the Middle East, and I don't have much time to do research online and stuff. So any sort of help towards this end would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Alesia Holliday had one called 'Emails to the front'.
From Amazon:
This memoir is the painfully funny and poignant true story of one military family's experience during two war-time deployments, told through the actual email they sent back and forth, with accompanying essays.
"6/9: Evidently I wasn't supposed to put so much oil in the mower. The smoke went away fairly quickly, though. Connor even got to go for a ride in the fire truck."
Alesia Holliday has survived scenes like this and more while her husband, a naval flight officer, has been away on military duty. They have forged a different kind of marriage-one that the 1.5 million current active-duty service members and their families will identify with through the camaraderie strengthened by shared difficulties and discoveries.
E-mail to the Front consists of short commentaries by Alesia and an e-mail dialogue between she and her husband while he was on deployment. In text filled with empathy, gut-level honesty, humor, and unflinching support, chapters cover everything from "Departure: Only 183 Days to Go" to "Rebellion of the Appliances" to "It's Like Being a Single Mother, but I Can't Date."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Messier83 Amazing taste and an excellent product! I had never tried red currant before these, but the minute I did was quite the eye-opening experience. Katjes Sour Red Currant Licorice is now a staple in my basket. They pack a slight sour taste, but nothing that will make you think twice before consuming a few more. I truly enjoy this product and fully recommend everyone who is into sweets to give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Genti Great Candy The one thing I have to buy every time I go into World Market, they're just that delicious. My favorite candy by a mile, sweet but slightly sour, but not as much as you'd expect, with a brilliant currant flavor. March 23, 2013

Sony Corporation of Japan on the use of lithium Laptop Batteries made false warning
Nikon Corporation of Japan following the December 5, 2003 on the use of counterfeit lithium-ion battery warning after a few days ago Sony also to use Sony digital cameras and digital camera users do not use fake battery warning.
In fact, as early as this year's July 25, Sony Corporation on the adoption of "Chinese consumers are reportedly" released "to Sony digital video camera, digital camera user's notice," but as a result of the counterfeit market, Sony batteries, but also significant increasing trend in the price of regular malls sold fake goods with a genuine Sony battery prices the same, and in the digital distribution market, the price of mobile phone batteries than really low price. The reason is the price of counterfeit lithium-ion battery is very low, only genuine equivalent of a fraction of the original battery, the pockets of the drum is not the consumer, to buy a digital camera has spent much of the of silver, and then pieces of original equipment batteries to buy…… silver is not well-off you! So many people have to buy the counterfeit batteries and, of course, some consumers are being cheated JS, spend the money to have bought the fake and shoddy products.
Recently, Sony found that the appearance of the Chinese market is very close to the original rechargeable battery counterfeit products, from the appearance of authenticity, it is difficult to determine. These counterfeit goods, some do not have the power to ensure a long period of time when nec batteriesessary to meet the quality standards of the protection device, the use of such a battery, it may lead to an accident or breakdown. Sony in February 2003 ~ April in a short period of 3 months, it has been confirmed in China and Malaysia, 3 from the fire incident of counterfeit batteries. Up to now, to East Asia as the center of the investigation has found more than 5,000 counterfeit Sony lithium battery products.
Tiger went to find a few original battery Sony photo to everyone, "appreciation", I hope you can be trained before buying a pair of "eyes" to see through the fake one; Of course, if you did not so deep "skill ", it is recommended that before you purchase, if want to buy the Sony batteries have questions, you can call Sony toll-free number 800 810 2228 for consultation, if the need to further confirm the authenticity of the batteries, you can contact the nearest Sony Home Appliances special service station products, some experts do not help the.

*snickers* Well,
Well, unfortunately, or fortunately, I have been taking my pain meds as prescribed plus the sleeping pill so I have no pre-conference no sleep nights. I leave that to my web designer.
I gave up on the idea of having Paladin done. I'm fairly certain I will come away with so many ideas I will start over with it anyway.
It would be nice if I had more confidence in the pitch, query and first chapters, though.

Gee, I hope I spelled her name right... I just checked k.c.'s blog entry on Ms. Boissery's offer to help with pitches, and I noticed that you mentioned an interest. Go for it. The first year I attended, there were a couple of workshops (one a master class) on pitching. It was great. And practice does make perfect.
One of the workshops I attended that year was a 'coffee klatsh' with editor Jim Minz, where he had people give him their pitches and he critiqued them. The number one advice he gave -- and probably as helpful as any other advice I learned -- was BREATHE.
Let's hope I can remember that one when I have my agent interview this year...

Oh, I intend to sign up for the pitch thing if I can get in soon enough. My appointment is at 11:30 so not sure if I will have time.
I've been walking around the warehouse on my breaks practicing my pitch. The security guys seem to be watching me a lot closer now, but I'm sure lots of people walk around talking to themselves.

This probably isn't appropriate, but I have to say it. Isn't Mr. McGraw just the cutest thing? I love that smile.

T10 2GB UMS Conversion?
I'm not as cutting edge as some of you users out there, so bare with me please.
I currently use an 895 with 512 memory (had it for a couple years now). This has for the most part worked fine for me as 99 percent of my listening is audiobooks. Maybe it's my memory in the last year or two, but I used to be much more on the ball about deleting old chapters and adding new ones, but much of the time anymore I find myself hitting the end of my files, and not having anything else to listen to until I'm able to get to my computer to (re)fill. So I'd like to go to a larger capacity unit to hold more books. I can't see going with a 1 gig model with the small price gap to a 2 gig player so that's my reason for looking at the 2 gig version.
From doing some reading around, it appears that the newer iriver players tie into Windows Media Player 11 and force you to use that interface to transfer files. However, I have no want to use/install it on any of my computers and put up with the potential headaches associated with more bloatware. My computers run stripped down versions of XP that don't install any software like WMP and I don't plan on bogging them down now.
Iriver has a conversion utility that will allow T10s to be converted to UMS, but the instructions note that the program will not work on the 2 gig model, "however" the European models are supposed to support UMS (whether this is out of the box or by firmware mod I don't know).
So, after all my typing....does anyone know if the US T10 2G can be converted to UMS? If not, anyone know of a on-line source for the purchase of the European model? I like the simple set-up of Iriver players and really would like to keep a style similar to what I have now, but with more room. I guess I can ask here in the Forums for advice on a different makers player if I have to.
Thanks for any help. I just joined up here and hope to do some reading up as I have time. I'm looking forward to doing so, but there just seems to be soooo much information to dig into for someone with "simpler" expectations than you all have. I will say though, that the Clix that I saw while on the Iriver website does look very nice. If I actually had a use for something like that it'd be a fun toy to have.
|[Remove Advertisement]
I know people have been able to switch to UMS on a 2gig for a while now using the iriver updater program, just like the other T10s did. It should give you the option to switch to UMS after it tells you to plug in your T10, or fairly soon after that step.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots...
My Deviant Art page - they make great wallpapers
I had seen on the Iriver website, as well as on a couple websites that people had used that program to switch over to UMS, but Iriver states that it will only work on the EU version, and (although I'm not completely sure about this) I think the websites I read had mentioned of people using the program to go back and forth on the EU versions. I'm wondering if anyone has used the program on a US version? I'd hate to run it and either get a message that it can't because it's a US version, or end up flashing the unit and making it inop.
Yes, you can switch the T10 2GB to UMS.
No, it's not just for the EU version.
Simply download the firmware updater from the iriver America site. Make sure you put in a full, fresh battery before updating the firmware. Run the updater, connect the player when it tells you, then turn the player on. The updater will recognize the player, then look for the MTP<->UMS icon on the bottom left corner of the updater's screen.
Click the icon, it will ask if you are sure you want to convert to UMS, click yes. Then follow the directions on the updater screen, wait when it tells you to disconnect the player. Then set the player down and don't touch any buttons, the player's screen will tell you not to touch buttons until the firmware update is complete.
Once it's complete the player shuts down. Turn it back on and you now have a fully UMS device that will work on any computer that recognizes an external hard drive.
For what it's worth, I have the 1gb t10 and have used it with RealPlayer also. So I am sure there are other programs besides Windows Media Player (WMP) that you can use.
Just to be clear, if left as MTP drag and drop from Windows Explorer still works. The only difference is you don't have the full and complete control of UMS, meaning you can't rename files or folders directly on the player. You have to rename files/folders on the Windows Explorer desktop, then either drag and drop or copy/paste over to T10. If converted to UMS then you have complete control and T10 will work just like any other external drive.
Here's the link to the MTP <> UMS conversion. HTH

Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
My favorite song is American Terrorist off of Food & Liquor because of the deep subject matter that you don't hear from most artists. That was the first Lupe Fiasco song my hardcore Lupe fan friend showed me. He knew I would like it cause I am really into that "get real" kind of music like Immortal Technique & RATM. Ever since then I was hooked. We both just went to Lupe's concert at Roseland Ballroom on Easter! FNF UP!
Hip hop saved my life was true to me. i looooved how it was a story about a guy tryint to make it. i love songs that have a story to them. Hip hop saved my life b/c without it, there would be no life lol #lupefiasco
Every song by Lupe is my Favorite song, he is a lyrical genius, with so much to say.. And i'm always listening... {Can't really make up my mind on the favorite}
i'd have to say that one of my favorites is i don't wanna care right now. you came to my school, rwu, for spring concert and i was front and center and you played that song twice and i was so into and it was absolutely amazing. it's all i think of when i hear it, along with many others. huge fan :)
My favorite song is American Terrorist b/c this allows us to see that our enemies are home grown and within ourselves. So need for us to think others are against us for no reason, it's our way of life that breed others to resent us b/c we sometimes refuse to see who we are and a need for change.
"American Terrorist" from Food & Liquor is definitely my favorite song. Just from the beat to the content to the delivery. It embodies everything that I feel and think consciously, but don't have the will to say outwardly. I commend you for that & everything that you do. Salaam,
Words I Never Said- This song is my favorite for a few reasons. Aside from the amazing beat and great sound from the combination of music styles, it is real and honest. The lyrics are flat out amazing, they are insightful and all true. They make us realize how corrupt society is and every subject that is touched upon in this song is controversial to so many people, but you shed light on the bad and demand change for the betterment of all people. People need to be less ignorant and this song makes you want to speak out against everything that is wrong with business, government, and society. Thank you for making such a great song!! I love it!
Damn way too hard to pick one, "Daydreamin", "Hurt Me Soul", "Streets on Fire", "Hip HopSaved My Life", "Words I Never Said", and many others are some of my all-time favorite songs for all different reasons. But I'm going to pick one that I doubt anyone else will choose and that is "Put You on Game". I like that song a lot because it's dark and sinister and Lupe's lyrics as the character "The Game" are haunting. It also speaks of the darker sides of society, of politics, and power. It is like a dark poem where you feel the intensity in the words themselves and Lupe doesn't hold back at all.
Favorite Lupe song is definitely The Coolest. The Cool is my top hip-hop album of all time I love the concept and all the characters and how deep the whole thing is. The Coolest is in my opinion the best representation of musical poetry, Also i love all the double entendres ("micheal young history") and I just enjoyed listening to the song over and over. Other favorites I have are Dumb it Down, Turnt Up, Kick Push 2, Hip Hop saved my life. I really just love and respect how much of a lyricist you are which is what makes you my favorite artist lupe. And I think my first comment disappeared since it says 0 comments in my profile.
my fav is words i never said :) because it displays the main reason i love lupe so much - his honesty
My favorite song is "Daydreamin'" by Lupe Fiasco Feat. Jill Scott. It was one of the first songs by him that I've listened and made me love him as an artist, the steady flow and the mellow tone and always upbeat. Just melodic to me. The fact that Jill Scott was included in the song just added to the priceless-ness of it all, she is also another one of my favorite artists and people. Much love to you both.
Kick Push. That's the song that made me fall in love with his eccentric style and the song that led me to kick flip off of my university's front gates in front of hundreds of spectators.
Fighters because it helped me through the bad times of a breakup and its a song that really touched me and stuck with me. It has been my favourite song ever since i first heard it, and it added a darker side to a great album!
The Emperors Sountrack. The beat goes so hard and i cant help but get fired up listening to it. All of FOOD &LIQUOR was amazing though
My favorite Lupe song has to be Break The Chain because the beat is incredible, the lyrics are deep, and the flow is amazing. Lupe= Great.
Favorite song is a 3-way tie between "Go To Sleep", "The Coolest" and "Failure" They're, in my opinion, by far the most lyrically-deep and complex songs among any artist to date and among Lupe's all-time best tracks.
Word i never said because every words on that lyrics its so true, its like finally someone its raping about the truth and not about there fame! love you lupe keep up the good work!
My favorite Lupe song is "Words I Never Said". I definitely think that remaining silent isn't the best option. Expressing your opinions and your thoughts can make a difference, but keeping it in and all build up can cause more problems.
Day Dreamin'! The lyrics and message of that song are crazy sweet, and you ended your concert in Ann Arbor Mich. with making it the greatest concert of all time!
little weapon. because its got a great message tryin to spread word of problems in the world, along with havin a great flow and awesome lyrics which is what lupe is all about
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is Daydreamin' because of the 2nd verse where he criticizes hip hop and hip hop videos.

I read a lot of Posts about better power supplies for this DAC (and DAC in general).
Somebody tried batteries, others switching PS, other linear...
It seems that more than 12 Volt but less than 14 is beneficial, and as more current capability as possible.
Now I tried a linear regulated PS, 5 A, 1-15 Volt. A huge thing.
At 13.5 Volt, the sound was clearly worse! Reduced soundstage, less detail, congestion. Very bad. Checked with Stax electrostatic headphones directly connected to the DAC outputs. I am quite sure of these findings.
On the other hand, it seem to me that this PS is no so different from MAPLIN ones recommended here.
Surely I am missing something.
All opinions are wellcome. Thanks to all
