Product Care
Washing your Allett SoftTech Nylon wallet with a clean wet towel will help to keep your wallet looking like new. Gently rub or dab the towel on the outer and inner surface of the wallet. We recommend using a small dab of mild detergent mixed with warm water to relieve any stains from the material. Allett Leather wallets should not be treated with water.
Replenishing Water-Repellency
A Durable Water-Repellant finish is applied to most water resistant products during construction. This keeps the fabric from becoming saturated when in contact with liquid. This coating needs to be replenished occasionally when water is no longer beading up on your SoftTech wallet. Grangers brand is our favorite however there are many good options on the market. Be sure to use only a light coating of a spray on waterproofing product.

In the new second edition of his bestselling book, The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success, author and career coach Nicholas Lore explains how to examine every aspect of your life relating to your career. Here, he offers advice for people over 50 who are looking for fulfillment in their work.
Older job seekers worry about age discrimination with good reason. Everyone is finding it more difficult to land the right job in today's harsh market. With corporations favoring younger applicants over seasoned workers, how can people over 50 maximize their chances and compete successfully with the younger generation?
Our brains were designed in ancient times to react to threats. These days, most news about the job market instantly dumps us into that survival-based mode. While this may have helped our ancestors deal with saber-tooth tigers, fear-based job hunting saps our energy, creativity and clear thinking.
If you're over 50 and looking to find work you love, here are six ways to do it:
- Make it a project. If you don't need a new job right away, forget about job hunting until your target is clear and specific. Design your career first. Then search for the job when you know exactly what you are seeking.
- Become a career detective. Look for clues about how you and the workplace best fit together so you don't wind up squeezed into the wrong job. Since employers pay you to perform specific functions, start your job hunt by thinking about what you do happily, naturally, perhaps even brilliantly: your innate talents and a lifetime of experiences.

Real Lives. Real Change.
People just like you have found real weight loss success on Jenny Craig. If they can do it, you can too! Read their inspiring stories.
One afternoon my husband and I were having lunch together, as we so often did. During lunch we began discussing plans for a possible trip to an amusement park for the upcoming summer. As we talked, I found myself unexcited about going. I immediately began thinking of all of the negatives—it would be too hot and there would be way too much walking involved. I knew I would be way too tired on a trip like that to be able to fully enjoy it with my family. At the time I was about 125 lbs overweight and completely out of shape. Just the thought of doing something physical—even walking—did not appeal to me. I remember thinking, what has happened to me, who is this person who has invaded my body? I even wondered if there was any hope for me.
When I was in my early twenties and single, I worked out, paid attention to my health and was in decent shape. But then, I got married, had two kids, worked a full-time job outside the home and struggled financially. My life was stressful (whose isn't, by the way), and I had allowed the stresses of life and my busy schedule to get the best of me. I was no longer in control of me; my circumstances were. I was too stressed to care about it. Until one day a friend of ours announced that he had reached 26 years of sobriety. That announcement slapped me across the face! I thought to myself, if he can find the strength to be successful in his sobriety, I sure as heck can find the strength to begin my journey to health … to a better me. That day a fire was lit under me and I decided that my health had to become priority number one.
I walked into a Jenny Craig center to reclaim my physical health. On that first day I weighed in at 251 lbs, the heaviest I had ever been. Seeing that number reinforced to me that I had made the right decision, but I knew I had a long way to go. Focusing on just how much weight I needed to lose had the potential to discourage me, so I decided to focus on one day at a time. I would wake up every day and tell myself that I would make good decisions for that day, knowing that approach would get me to my goal.
I was paired with the most wonderful Jenny Craig Consultant! Christina helped me look at things realistically and strategically. She equipped me with a good, solid "attack" plan and encouraged me all along the way. The accountability and encouragement that I received from our weekly meetings definitely set me up for the success that I have experienced.
Suddenly my life changed drastically. My husband and I had run in our first 5K race together in Atlanta. I finished it in 27:28, which I'm told is really good for a girl who's never been a runner! The very next morning, I received news that my husband had been tragically killed in a motorcycle accident coming home from work. It took the wind out of me as I received that news and then when I had to tell the news to our two children. At the time of my husband's death, I was so close to my goal weight and was sad that he didn't get to be with me when I reached it. He had been so proud of me all along the way and was my biggest cheerleader and supporter through it all. On the day of his memorial service, I reached my goal weight!* Even through my grief, I could feel him cheering for me and giving me a huge fist pump for reaching the goal that I worked so hard to get to. He may not have been with me physically, but he was definitely with me in spirit.
I have discovered that being healthy physically has directly affected my mental health, my confidence level and the way I view myself. Little did I know that being this healthy would help me cope with such a tremendous loss. I am determined now more than ever to maintain my new and improved self and to continue doing so through the encouragement I receive from Jenny Craig, my friends and family, and the wonderful legacy my husband left behind. So as I continue to enjoy my new way of healthy living, I decided to challenge myself with some new goals. I am now training for a half-marathon. I want to be lean and mean on that day, and I've found that at my height, losing just a few more pounds would get me there. It would also put me at the remarkable milestone of shedding half of my body weight. If I can do this, anyone can do it!

[1] Features of Noonan syndrome may include a distinctive facial appearance, short stature, a broad or webbed neck, congenital heart defects, bleeding problems, skeletal malformations, and developmental delay.[2][3] Noonan syndrome may be caused by mutations in any one of several genes including the PTPN11, KRAS, RAF1, SOS1, NRAS and BRAF genes.[4] It is sometimes referred to as a specific subtype based on the responsible gene in an affected person. Noonan syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner but many cases are due to a new mutation and are not inherited from an affected parent.[2][3]Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes abnormal development of multiple parts of the body.

BOULDER - Cross country runners Shalaya Kipp and Jake Hurysz were awarded Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday for their athletic performances during the week of Nov. 5-11. CU's Athlete of the Week is sponsored by Silk®, Horizon® and International Delight®.
Kipp, a junior, turned in her best performance of the season on Friday afternoon as she raced to a second place finish in the women's 6k race at the NCAA Mountain Region Championships at the Collindale Golf Course in Fort Collins, Colo. Excelling in the last 500 meters of the race, the Salt Lake City, Utah (Skyline) native improved from sixth to second to finish with a time of 20 minutes and 18.1 seconds. The No. 24 women's team, which was ranked third in the region heading into the meet, placed third overall with a team score of 107. Weber State won the meet with 63 points and New Mexico was second with 95 points. The top two teams in the region automatically advance to nationals, and the Colorado women received word on Friday night that they would receive an at-large bid to compete at their 20th NCAA Championships in the last 21 years.
Hurysz led the No. 2 nationally ranked Colorado men's cross country team to a third-place finish at the NCAA Mountain Region Championship on Friday. The junior from Mebane, N.C., (Eastern Alamance/North Carolina) crossed the finish line in the 10 kilometer men's race in 30 minutes and 13.2 seconds for sixth overall; just ahead of teammate Martin Medina, who turned in his best performance of the season with a seventh place finish (30:14.0). The Buffs recorded a team score of 69 points, just one less than second-place BYU (68). Northern Arizona won the meet with 56 points. The men's team was named one of the 13 at-large teams to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
This is Hurysz's third athlete of the week award and Kipp's first of the season.
Also nominated this week's awards were Arielle Roberson (women's basketball), Neira Ortiz Ruiz (volleyball), Christian Powell (football) and Josh Scott (men's basketball).
Freshman forward Arielle Roberson scored 16 points in her collegiate debut for the women's basketball team, hitting 7-of-13 from the field while also grabbing six rebounds and collecting five steals against Idaho on Sunday afternoon. Her five steals were the most by a freshman in a debut since all-time leading scorer Brittany Spears had five in her initial game against San Francisco in 2007. Roberson's final steal came with under one minute left, with the Buffs hanging on to a crucial five-point lead. Four of her rebounds came on the offensive end.
Sophomore Neira Ortiz Ruiz recorded 21 kills in the volleyball team's two matches over the weekend. She notched 10 kills on Friday night against No. 6 UCLA and had 11 kills versus the No. 8 USC Trojans on Saturday. Ortiz Ruiz helped the Buffs get close to stealing the first set away from USC with five kills in the frame. Ortiz Ruiz averaged 3.50 kills, 0.33 blocks, 0.17 digs and 3.83 points per set while hitting .127 in the two games.
Freshman Christian Powell had 32 carries for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the football team's 56-31 loss at Arizona on Saturday. It was his third 100-yard rushing game of the season, tying CU's freshman record, previously set by Lamont Warren (1991) and Rodney Stewart (2008). His 625 total rushing yards are now the fourth-most by a CU freshman (third by a true frosh). He has seven touchdowns on the season, tied for the second most and just one behind Herchell Troutman's record of eight, set back in 1994.
Freshman forward Josh Scott made his college debut by leading the men's basketball team in scoring with 14 points in CU's 74-59 home win against Wofford on Friday. Since 1972-73 when freshmen were allowed to play, Scott's 14 points are the eighth most in school history among the best scoring debuts by a first year player. Scott also grabbed six rebounds and had a blocked shot and an assist. Four of the six rebounds were on the offensive glass and 10 of his points came from the free throw line. CU has successfully opened all three seasons under head coach Tad Boyle with wins and CU improved its home record to 33-4 under Boyle.

Birds of a Feather
The Party Among the myriad of collections at Eileen and Bo DuBose's Buckhead estate (think copper pots, snuff boxes, antique shotguns and porcelain dishes), was a collection of some of Atlanta's finest philanthropists who turned out for the Swan House Ball patron party. The Scene Attendees sipped Champagne, tasted Soiree Catering's delights and dined on raw oysters being shucked at the DuBose's oyster bar, all while discussing what to expect at this year's Swan House Ball.

Dundalk Patapsco Neck Historical Society and Museum, Inc.
Defenders Day Features Walking Tours
Take a walking tour at Fort Howard Park during Defenders Day celebrations September 7 & 8, and learn about how the area has more history than the Battle of North Point!
Dundalk Historical Society volunteer Ray Scott will explain how Fort Howard is also historically significant for reasons other than the British landing in 1814. From 1898 until 1927, this property was an Endicott Period Coast Artillery installation that housed as many as 18 huge artillery guns purposed to protect Baltimore from attack by enemy naval vessels attempting to enter the Patapsco River.
The weapons at Fort Howard included two 12-inch disappearing rifles and eight 12-inch mortars. All of those guns could rain massive, 1000-pound explosive shells on any spot in the Chesapeake or the Patapsco within a 10-mile radius of North Point.
Walking tours of Fort Howard's old coast artillery gun emplacements are scheduled for 11 AM and 2 PM each day. The tours will begin at the Fort Howard History tent next to Battery Stricker.
Dundalk Historical Website Features Complete Defenders Day Info
The Dundalk Historical Society and Museum, Inc., has launched its new website – www.dundalkhistory.org – to publicize Defenders Day 2013 events, reach a wider audience and make everyone aware of just how much the Society can offer the community. Defenders Day 2013 is featured prominently on the new site. Find the complete schedule and more information at www.dundalkhistory.org/defenders-day.html.
One of the biggest priorities of the site is to gather email addresses for a mailing list. You can register by accessing the Contact form on the Support page of the website or through the Society's official Facebook page (don't forget to "like" the page).
Defenders Day Isn't Over When It's Over
Once Defender's Day 2013 observances end, other events will lead up to the bicentennial celebration. There will be a special event in Dundalk at 7 PM on Thursday, Oct. 17, when the U.S. Naval Academy Concert Band performs at the Dundalk Middle community auditorium on Dunmanway. Admission and parking are free.
The event is presented in partnership with the Baltimore County Office of Promotion and Tourism and the Star Spangled 200 Committee. For more information about the Defenders Day celebration, call the Historical Society at (410)284-2331, or visit www.dundalkhistory.org/defenders-day.html.
Canadians Represent the British at Defenders Day 2013
Almost 200 years after the British invaded the North Point peninsula, new arrivals will take their place in an attempt to do the same. Dozens of re-enactors from Ontario, Canada, will stand in for British forces during the 199th anniversary celebration of Defenders Day, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 7 and 8, at Fort Howard Park.
This year, Defenders Day events will expand to two days in anticipation of next year's bicentennial celebration. There will be lots of activity over the weekend at Fort Howard Park, highlighted by about 90 re-enactors who will do battle twice on Saturday and once on Sunday.
"We've enhanced the whole event from top to bottom," said Harry Young, who has chaired the event for the last nine years. "We'll have three battle re-enactments, more volunteers and more sponsors than ever before."

Syrian opposition: Benelux countries very pleased with the outcome of the Doha Conference
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Benelux countries are very pleased with the outcome of the Doha Conference of the Syrian opposition. The ministers declare that the creation of the Syrian National Coalition is a milestone in forming an inclusive and representative opposition. "We have confidence in the leadership of Moaz al-Khatib to unite the Syrian opposition on a path to a peaceful and democratic Syria for all Syrians".
The ministers stressed the importance of women participation in the Syrian opposition and applaud the appointment Ms. Atassi as vice-president in that regard.
The Benelux have been calling for the creation of a broad platform of Syrian opposition groups, as a credible alternative to the regime of president Assad and to lay the foundations of a new Syria.
The Benelux ministers express their hope that this major development will contribute to UN-Arab League representative L. Brahimi's efforts to find a political solution to the crisis.
As the humanitarian crisis in Syria deepens, the Benelux ministers urge all parties to respect international humanitarian law, in particular the unimpeded access of the population to medical facilities.

Is this earlier than last year? I thought it was 7pm start time...Diana posted something on one of her pages about it being 7pm as well...I'll barely make it for 6:30 from New West in traffic :(


text: I've been following this post and I looked through all 6 uppers I have, and my buddies rifles. We checked rifles made by: bushmaster; colt; Olympic arms; SGW; Palmetto arms; Armalite;and Eagle arms. I have yet to find an upper receiver without the auto sear cut out on the bottem of the upper receiver just forward of the rear hinge pin block. I think all the forged upper receivers are machined to M16 specs. You can see the cut out illustrated clearly in the P.O.F. add for their CROS fininish on the inside of their receivers (the back of the July 20 shotgun news has a full page color add). I understand the bolt carriers are different between an M15 and AR15, but aren't we talking about the actual aluminum upper receiver here? If someone has a picture of an AR15 without the auto sear cutout on the UPPER RECEIVER please post a picture of it.

Jets' Tebow reveals he has 2 broken ribs
Published: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:53 a.m.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tim Tebow says he broke two ribs in the New York Jets' loss at Seattle two weeks ago.
Tebow did not play in the Jets' 49-19 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, despite the offense struggling and fans chanting for him to replace Mark Sanchez at quarterback throughout the game. He was listed as questionable for the game with a rib ailment, but fully practiced Wednesday.
Tebow says he talked coach Rex Ryan into making him active, leaving third-stringer Greg McElroy inactive. Ryan says he would have played Tebow only if it was "absolutely necessary."
Tebow adds he was hurt on an offensive play against the Seahawks, and is unsure how long he will be hindered.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
The overall objective of this research is to minimize economic losses from fescue toxicosis. Specific objectives include:.1)development of plant germplasm that is both non-toxic and persistent, which could involve germplasm infected with novel endophytes or germplasm that is endophyte-free;.2)development of management practices that improve animal performance and reduce effects of heat stress associated with fescue toxicosis in animals;.3)further evaluation of fescue toxicosis effects on animal physiology and recovery from this condition; and.4)identification of markers of animal sensitivity to heat stress and fescue toxicosis.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Tall fescue, infected with endophytes that do not produce animal toxic alkaloids, will be tested for animal toxicosis in feeding and grazing trials. Persistence of new germplasms will be measured in grazed pastures. Forage management practices will be developed to control and reduce toxicity of tall fescue. Endophyte-free germplasm with increased concentrations of plant proteins associated with nematode resistance will be tested for persistence. New approaches to monitor body temperature will be established and used to evaluate techniques for reducing heat stress. Treatments that promote healthy immune systems, like antioxidant activity and body temperature regulation, will be assessed for effects on severity of fescue toxicosis under field and in climate-controlled environmental chambers. Genetic and physiological markers of animal sensitivity to heat stress and fescue toxicosis will be identified to improve selection of animals that are more resistant to these problems.

Happy Birthday Boulder B-cycle!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From Bcycle newsletter
Do you remember this day? Boulder B-cycle launched on May 20th, 2011...and what an exciting year it's been! Since our program launch:
More than 1,300 annual members and 5,000 day users have ridden the red bikes.
Together, these Boulder B-cyclists have taken more than 23,000 trips and logged more than 70,000 B-cycle miles!
By riding instead of driving, we estimate Boulder's B-cyclists have:
- burned more than 5.2 million calories
- saved close to 3,500 gallons of gasoline
- spared the air roughly 125,000 pounds of carbon emissions

Baltimore County News

Baltimore County Executive
What will the schools of tomorrow look like? I would guess that each student would use smartphones and tablets in class, with textbooks relegated to a study of ancient history. The entire school building would be wi-fi enabled, allowing students to access the Internet for problem solving and research at a moment's whim. Why, I think that students and teachers could interact via Twitter feeds, both inside the classroom and even at home!
Well, guess what? The world of tomorrow land is here today - at the very special Patapsco High School Center for the Arts in Dundalk. Earlier this month I joined School Superintendent Dr. Dallas Dance for a tour of Patapsco where we met with the students and faculty for a jaw-dropping view of how technology can be used as an integral part of the learning process.
Principal Ryan Imbriale has created an amazing community of learners in eastern Baltimore County. It is no wonder that Dr. Dance is eager to spread this magic system wide. What happens at Patapsco? Well, here is just a small sample of what took place the day I visited.
It is a school where the principal's daily update isn't done over a traditional public address system, but on the internet via a You Tube video that is also available to parents. It is a school where students are using a variety of social media to enhance learning. It is a school where students are encouraged to bring smart phones and tablets to school so that they may be used as part of the learning process. Classroom Twitter feeds are displayed on white boards encouraging students to react to classroom discussions immediately. In Spanish class, the Spanish tweets were being posted fast and furiously. In science labs, students were using their phones to connect to links to QR codes posted around the room leading to problems that must be solved. Students worked in groups, actively engaging and supporting one another to solve these complex problems. Teachers worked hand-in-hand with students as guides in the learning process.
As my staff would tell you, I haven't been able to stop talking about the teachers and students at Patapsco. I am so excited about what is taking place there and even more excited that Dr. Dance firmly believes that this type of instruction can become the model for Baltimore County. I look forward to making that journey together.

In addition to playing an important role in the development of a growing fetus, proper thyroid hormone levels also help to minimize the chance of any thyroid complications after delivery. One particular postpartum complication is postpartum (after delivery) thyroiditis, a condition characterized by an inflamed thyroid gland. Postpartum thyroiditis is not a typical infection, however, the gland does become inflamed due to a response to an injury of the gland, of which the cause is unknown. Postpartum thyroiditis is a postpartum condition that results in temporary hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Postpartum thyroiditis is fairly common. In fact, 5 to 7 percent of women worldwide develop the disease after giving birth, according to the American Thyroid Association.
Certain risk factors may help predict who is at an increased risk for developing postpartum thyroiditis, according to the American Thyroid Association. These include the following:
When the thyroid becomes inflamed, it will first emit large quantities of thyroid hormone into the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism). During this phase, most women are unaware of any symptoms, which are often mild and short-lived. However, once this initial phase passes, a woman either recovers completely or has sustained damage to her thyroid. If the thyroid gland was damaged, this damage, together with a depleted reservoir of thyroid hormones, can lead to hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). This condition, too, may also clear up or result in further damage and complications.
The following are the most common symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism that accompany postpartum thyroiditis. However, each women may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Postpartum thyroiditis symptoms usually do not appear until three to eight months after childbirth. The symptoms are also often mistaken for normal signs of recovery from childbirth or other medical conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnostic procedures utilized to detect postpartum thyroiditis depend on the phase of the disease. If symptoms of hyperthyroidism are present, a radioactive iodine uptake test can often determine whether it is postpartum thyroiditis or Graves disease, the most common form of hyperthyroidism. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for postpartum thyroiditis may include a blood test to measure levels of thyroid hormones (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH) can usually determine whether the mother has hypothyroidism.
Specific treatment for postpartum thyroiditis will be determined by your physician based on:
If the postpartum thyroiditis is in the hyperthyroidism (or initial) phase, treatment is usually not necessary. However, if the condition progresses and symptoms of hypothyroidism become evident, thyroid hormone replacement therapy may be considered.

According to Ricoh's internal LCA (Life-Cycle-Analysis) study, paper consumption
at customer's site is one of the biggest environmental impacts, along with energy
consumption from imaging equipment during use. According to Berkeley National Laboratory,
17Wh* of energy is consumed in manufacturing of a sheet of paper from virgin material
(12Wh from 100% recycled paper as a source).
Ricoh offers imaging equipment with features which enables practical paper consumption
reduction such as high-speed duplex and "easy to use" combined print/copy which
could reduce paper consumption up to 75% (duplexing and 2-up (2 images on one page)

I have Cerebral Palsy and was diagnosed with Asperger's at 17 years of age so I fit in both catagories. As far as autism goes: autistic people with abnormally high intellegence or exemplary skills are called savants.I am not a savant, but I am a high functioning adult. Can I carry on a conversation? Do I like to? no. Does that qualify as auspergers? I haven't the faintest clue.
Now for cerebral palsy. Would I like to be cured? Absolutely not. I would've liked for it not to happen in the first place, but at 21 years old I feel that my CP has made me who I am. It would be quite awkward being whole all of the sudden for me.
Now for my opinion on stem cell reserch. There is a difference between disabilities and diseases. Diseases should be cured by stem cell research, but there should be a window of time to cure disabilites. The time window should be between conception and the time the parent/child becomes aware of the disability. Those are my thoughts
I'm bringing sexy forward
there was an autistic kid that went to the summer program i go to, and he seemed to actually not really care that he was autistic, and it was hard to tell if he was. but i don't understand the cure autism stuff. autism is a disability, and is not a curable thing, like a disease. so, with that said, stem-cell reasearch is a waste of time. it's not like sticking a "cure autism" sticker on a gumball machine is going to change the world.
Yes but at least it shows people care enough to help even helping one person in your lifetime is worth years of hard work. Once again it should be noted the patient and not their parents or carers should themselves decide how the want to be helped and any options for a possible cure should be looked into for those who want it.
I just want to raise a slightly different point about IVF you know you can choose to not be given back eggs which have a genetic disorder like CF surely you have just killed a child when you make that choice? I mean by choosing not to have that child you havent "cured" them, which many of my classmates seem to believe, you've simply chosen the healthier one. Thats why I dont believe in IVF or stem cell research though the research is necessary and i wouldnt directly oppose it i myself would never have IVF because I believe its as good as killing the child.
I've thought about it, and now I agree with monkeyvirus. You're basically saying, " Sure. Let's kill my kid, so they can be 'better'. I don't care, they're only my flesh and blood." I think it's cruel, now that I think about it.

Posts Tagged 'mid term'
As we edge into Obama's third year of his administration it's important to draw some parallels to another trans formative President and compare some policies and outcomes. Both Reagan and Obama inherited an economy in trouble. Reagan inherited a Democratic administration mess signified with high unemployment, high interest rates and high inflation. Obama inherited a complete melt down of the financial and housing markets which sparked a massive shedding of jobs by the private sector.
How both men approached the solution shows their ideologies and their willingness to risk it all to prove their points. Both administrations came in with a roar and lost major political ground in the mid term elections just two years into their presidencies. That's were the similarities stop.
Reagan moved quickly to reduce federal spending on run away programs, federal spending on non-defense sectors. Obama primed the government spending pump by spending on government. The ballooning of the bureaucracy is growing to epic proportions. An alarming stat from the WSJ:
Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.
It gets worse. More Americans work for the government than work in construction, farming, fishing, forestry, manufacturing, mining and utilities combined. We have moved decisively from a nation of makers to a nation of takers.
Reagan took on the Federal Air Traffic Controller and Obama takes over GM to save the union heavy auto maker, fights Boeings ability to flee to right to work states.
Reagan runs up the deficit spending credit card to build up the military which eventually ended the Cold War. Obama talks about restoring our decaying infrastructure and resurrecting the Conservation Corp of the Great Depression era and ended up squandering $787 billion on bridges to no where, high speed rail systems that are getting shot down by governors in states that aren't buying into the pork. Under Obama we saw 'Cash For Clunkers', 'Cash for Cualkers'. The Coburn-McCain report slammed the wasteful stimulus package for juicy nuggets like:
The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was awarded $71,623 to study what the report calls, "Monkeys Getting High for Science."
Bonnie Davis, a spokeswoman for The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said the "small grant has helped protect very important research that will have significant impact on public health in regards to cocaine addiction and the issue of relapse."
Go a little further down the list and you'll find even bigger spending. The California Academy of Sciences is receiving nearly $1 million in stimulus funds to send researchers to the Southwest Indian Ocean Islands and East Africa to capture, photograph and analyze thousands of exotic ants.Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
There's also funding for yoga and hot flashes. Researchers at Wake Forest University have received nearly $300,000 to study whether integral yoga "can be an effective method to reduce the frequency and/or severity of hot flashes" in breast cancer survivors.

Reagan reduced regulations which told the business community that the American market was going to welcome their entreprenurial spirit and encourage them to get back to work. Obama on the other hand flirted with Cap and Trade and used the long arm of the EPA to mandate coal fired energy production and attempt to move the country towards solar and other inefficient alternative energy sources.
As if our brief history lessons and comparisons aren't example enough of how incredibly off the Obama administration's policies are, let's take a look at the United States health care industry. Health care makes up 20% of the US economy and it's just received a major governmental partner in virtually every aspect of it's delivery, billing, R&D and administration. Health care reform is the holy grail of Progressive politics. Clinton tried and ultimately failed to get a health care overhaul bid through the legislative process. Obama learned two valuable lessons from Bill, don't let Hilary anywhere near the process and move quick while your political capital is at it's peak.
Even with super majorities in Congress what came out of the Potomac meat grinder was a health care bill that was loaded with new bureaucracies, new government oversights and new hurdles to jump through. The 'bending of the cost curve' discussion was thrown out the window and replaced with 'we are from the government and here to help'. Why would we be skeptic of a Federal take over of 20% of our economy? Look no further than the US Postal Service for your answer.
Liberal media wrong about economy.
By Edwin Feulner – The Southeat Missourian
…..For better or for worse, more than two an one half years into the Reagan administration, the nations economic policies – while still a hodgepodge, confusing, and in some cases counterproductive are generally modeled along the lines Ronald Reagan proposed as a presidential candidate. Taxes have been reduced; government spending increases have been slowed; the regulatory burden has been eased somewhat. The mix would be far different in an ideal world; but Washington is far from that.
In other words, whether Sam Donaldson of ABC-TV or Horbart Rowen of the Washington Post like it or not, the economic program is more similar than dissimilar to what we called Reaganomics three years ago.
If its working, it's Reaganomics we can credit; if it's failing, Reaganomics gets the blame.
Is the program working:……
– Sales of domestic autos were at a 7.2 million rat in July, up by more than 40% over the 5.1 million rate of June 1982.
– More than 74% of manufacturing, mining and utilities capacity was in use in June, up seven percent from November, when the recession was at its worse.
– The University of Michigan index of consumer confidence soared to 93% in May-June, it's highest level in 10 years. People are optimistic about their current and future economic situation and about the prospects for the economy as a whole.
– Consumer spending, adjusted for inflation, surged 10% annual rate during the second quarter – the largest quarterly increase in two decades.
– The civilian unemployment rate fell to 9.5% in July and August from a high of 10.8% last December – falling a full one-half percent in July alone. New claims for unemployment insurance, moreover, were down to 388,000 during the first four weeks of July. Lowest since July 1979.
– New housing starts were at a 1.7 million unit annual rate in June, up 92% from a year earlier.
Much to the dismay of the gloom and doomers, inflation remains firmly in control. Interest rates are well below earlier peaks, as well.
The bottom line is that economic recovery is gaining momentum. Real GNP grew at an annual rate of 8.7% in the second quarter – far higher than forecast, and three times greater than 2.6% rate in the first quarter.
The limousine liberals in the news media have willed failure on the Reagan economic program from the beginning. The only thing that has failed, however, is their creditability.

"Third Goalie" Comes In Handy For Women's Soccer
With 30 minutes left in its home opener Friday, the Pasadena City College women's soccer team and head coach Reggie Rivas might have been out of options when reserve freshman goalie Angie Ulmer left the game with an injury. The Lancers were already without sophomore regular starter Tatiana Sanchez due to an illness, but there was no worries when Ulmer went down.
Kaylin Richards, a sophomore starting midfielder, is a transfer from City College of San Francisco who just happened to be a No. 1 goalie while at Hacienda Heights' Wilson High before serving as a reserve netminder last year at CCSF.
Richards made one save in relief of Ulmer (South Pasadena High), who had a sensational first collegiate start with seven saves. The best scoring chance by either team occurred in the 34th minute when Moorpark's Shannon Buckley drilled a 20-yard attempt off the crossbar. Rachel DeLuca cradled the ball off the post but her point-blank rebound shot was stopped by Ulmer to keep the game scoreless.
The closest PCC came to scoring came in the 59th minute when Cassandra Saavedra raced to reach a lead pass into the Moorpark goalie box, but Raiders' second goalie Rebecca Aronson dove on the ball a moment before Saavedra could put her foot on an attempt.
"Angie saved us with a great game and Kaylin kept her poise in relief of her," Rivas said. "We just never found any timing out there. We couldn't put passes together or players were missing their marks. Although she has nothing to show for it, Karina Costilla did everything she was supposed to do and was hustling up and down the field."
The Lancers are 1-1-1 but only have one goal (by sophomore Amanda Papac) in their three games. On the flip side, PCC's defense has been a brick wall as the team has not allowed a goal against in the last 220 minutes of action dating back to early in the second half of its season opener v. Orange Coast. Papac (Arcadia High) and freshman defender Bailey Shaw (Monrovia) have been the Lancers' most consistent players in the early part of the season.
PCC will host Los Angeles Pierce College next Friday, Sept. 13 in a 5 p.m. kickoff at Robinson Stadium.

"The Apartment" is not only the title track off Dynas' latest album, but it is also the foundation of the entire project on Badgramma/BBE Records. The late J Dilla applies his impassioned trademark production as Dynas expels the emotions one must face in order to repair an already broken relationship. If Dynas' forthright lyrics weren't enough, now Mupalia Pictures illustrates those canny mental images for this official music video. The Apartment LP is out in stores now, but expect more to come from Dynas as he collaborates on a group project, The Planet, with longtime friend DJ Klassik.

It seems fitting that Fashion Week should come with a Cinderella story.
Today reports Fior Mendez, who was living in a Dominican Republic orphanage just weeks ago, found herself modeling in a New York Fashion Week show September 7.
The 22-year-old was forced to leave her orphanage because of her age, according to the news show. A friend of the organization that runs the orphanage then offered to bring Mendez to New York so she could study English and follow her modeling dreams, Today says.
Only two months later, she was walking the runway for Nzinga Knight as part of the Harlem's Fashion Row runway show held at Lincoln Center, the news show reports.
"I'm overwhelmed emotionally. It's a dream," Mendez tells Today through an interpreter. "I couldn't imagine that a person like me would be doing this in New York City."
Sometimes the fairy tale really does come true.

DC rapper and producer yU's upcoming album, The Earn, is just around the corner with its December 13th release date. "If U Down" is the first single off the album. The drama-ridden track is produced by the super talented Slimkat78 and carries nothing less than the signature urgency of a yU flow. If yU's flow was a persuasive argument, it'd probably win – he could pretty much be saying anything, really. Just saying.
Look forward to several amazing appearances on the upcoming album, including Nicholas Ryan Gant, Imani Bilal, Bilal Salaam, and Diamond District, to name some.
Stream and download "If U Down" for free below!

Denon ah-c300 holy freaking heck
The review in full is posted on my site (link in the description but here is the conclusion) after writing the review i put my Zo into the mix and this is the craziest thing you will ever hear out of any iem set up ever, thunderous.
Conclusion (taken from https://stozz-audio.jux.com/1130009
The Denons are perhaps the most surprising phone I have heard to date, upon receiving them I expected nothing more that a take on Dre Beats. A company just trying to cash in if you will. Along with that they were trying to catch the dual dynamic market which is hot right now. What I got was something completely different.
It is capable of standing alone as your only iem as they compete the very high end, in fact I would go as far as to say that they are the most perfect IEM I have heard for Electronic, EBM, Hip-Hop and modern pop. If these are the genres you listen to exclusively or if you listen to a lot of live music then these are the phones for you...... If you can live with the fit (small ears had better look elsewhere). Additionally jazz and similar listeners should move along to balanced armatures but therein lies my original point.
If you listen to a wide variety and have the funds these should be in your lineup there are times where i am listening to an artist or genre and feel I am not getting the enjoyment I should be with a balanced phone and this is why I, as previously stated, am a 2 phone listener and implore everyone to start doing so.
Myself, I am keeping the Denon and that really is saying something as I had no intention to at the start. The AH-C300 will go nicely to compliment my customs or Ety ER4S whilst offering bigger sound and bass while still retaining a very high quality polished experience. Overall the Denons get a massive thumbs up and a go buy now recommendation.
For what this phone has done I am actually going to put it up there.... right up there, I am going as far as to say this is in my top 3 all time IEM's at any price point, the others being the ER4S and UM miracles. It is just so unique, different and fun sounding, unlike anything else.

I have finished the review yes it was Excellent.What was your rating on the Denon c300 before the Zo amp and after on a scale of 1-10 ?
Also wanted to ask youi what type of layout is your web page cant get it to come up on my cellphone (which is anddroid) but on the PC it looks great
Last edited by MEGAKILL; 04-21-2013 at 09:09 PM.
How do they compare to the Hippo VB?
I made an account here just to post this, people have been saying that isolation and fit are a problem. I don't have big ears, possibly even small ears, and these fit great and sound isolation is great. you get such a variety of tips it must be impossible for them not to fit. Anyway, just like to say that the badboys are pretty awesome, bass response is insane it hurts.
have a good day
