Metal Halide
BIG E Bulb 120 Watt 5000K Metal Halide Replacement bulb !!!!FREE SHIPPING ON this bulb. Our Big E Bulb is a direct replacement for 250 watt metal halide or Pulse Start lamps BASE UP (NOT HORIZONTAL WALL PACKS). This light bulb is for base up not horizontal applications. See picture for typical application . Average business nationally paying about $.10 per kilowatt hour. Average annual cost to operate Metal Halide bulb would be $380.05 per metal halide bulb per year*. Simply unscrew Metal Halide bulb and screw in the Big E bulb and that cost per fixture per year goes from $380.05 down to $168.30; an immediate 55% savings of energy costs. A building with 20 fixtures would save $4,235 annually. These bulbs do not cost money, they are an INVESTMENT. STAGGERING! No capital investment required. But there are even more $ to add to your company's bottom line; consult your locally based energy consultant or utility for rebate dollars to be paid to your company in return for this tremendous energy savings for even MORE dollar savings to your bottom line! A typical Metal Halide bulb contains about 100 mg of Mercury. Our Big E Bulb? just 5mg. Simply screw the "Big E Bulb" into a fixture, no need to bypass the ballast. PATENT PENDING. Other major advantages of the BIG E BULB include high lumen maintenance, instant start up and restrike, no color change, better color temperature, higher CRI (84) and cooler running temperature saving your company energy costs. The Big E Bulb will also work without a ballast (on AC 277V only). Less than 15% lumen depreciation over life of bulb. No color change throughout the life of this bulb. Metal Halide color does change. Cooler running temperature; okay to touch anytime. With Metal Halide bulbs, very hot temperatures with a blister to touch in less than 5 minutes. Instant Start and Instant Restrike on this bulb vs Metal Halide 3-5 minute warm up and 5-8 minutes to restrike. Big E Bulb will work off existing multi tap magnetic MH ballast or off 277 V (AC current only) and can bypass existing ballast as long as 277 volts only. Metal Halide will work off existing multi tap magnetic Metal Halide ballast but ONLY WORKS off output current of the ballast and will not work if you bypass the ballast and it voids UL listing on fixture. Warranty is usually one year for Metal Halides; 18 months for Big E including full replacement, not prorated. Lifespan of 15,000 hours or just under two years if left on 24 hours per day! 18,816 Lumens! E39 base. 90% less heat than Metal Halide lamps for cooler warehouses. UL and CUL Listed and Approved.

Just finished cruise to Cozumel 5/23/2015. I had looked at info about PalMar Estate before going but did not make decision to go until the day our ship ported in Cozumel. I was with a small group of 4 and it was hard to communicate with my group prior to the trip. We went downtown first and when that got old real quick, I reminded the group of this location. It was still hard to get approval by everyone. I finally said, "we are taking a chance and going". We got a taxi (the taxi drivers act like they have never heard of it, but we took the information from this site which includes directions). We are so glad we went, it was the highlight of our cruise. The bathroom was clean, the employees were so accommodating, it was away from tourist crowds and the snorkeling was terrific. Only $13 (which includes a couple of beers) each to use their facility and beach. Enrique was an employee there who made us the best Pico de Gallo and guacamole I have ever had and served us on the beach. He was so sweet, we would have put him in our pocket and taken him back to Texas with us if we could. We would go there again definitely!
G. Coldwell-May 2015 ~ Dallas, TX USA
We had a great time. The folks we brought were extremely pleased as well. I think you may have a couple more customers in the future.
R. & W. Jennings (March 2016) ~ Marlin, TX USA
I read about your beautiful beach club and would like some information. We have 7 in our party and would like to reserve as indicated on the INSIDER website.
M. Denobrega ~ N/A
Sherri, We had the most wonderful time with you in May! You and your staff made our weekend there in Cozumel with your great hospitality. The grounds are beautiful, food was great and the snorkeling ~ well my group just could not get enough and were amazed by the tropical sealife there off your beach. We look so much forward to coming back and seeing you again very soon. Tell the staff thanks again and say hello to the family for us as well. Take care:0) ....Happy Cruise Passenger
J. Wellborn ~ Cragford, AL USA
We had a great day. The weather was sketchy but the fish plentiful, food excellent, beer cold and location super. Can't say enough good things about the entire experience from booking to departing. Will certainly make this our go to spot when in Cozumel!

Audi V8 Quattro Head Gasket Replacement Cost.
Learn More About Head Gasket Replacement Cost
To prevent an expensive, recurring problem, the integrity of the entire Audi V8 Quattro's cooling system should be inspected and tested when a head gasket is replaced.
During this repair, the cylinder head(s) may need to be inspected and machined. Additional repairs may be needed after the inspection. This can add several hundred dollars to the repair and are not included in the RepairPal estimate.
Cylinder head or head gasket replacement is a large, time-consuming repair that often occurs when the engine has high mileage and/or the engine has been overheated. Due to these conditions several additional parts will be needed during the repair. These may include cooling system components (hoses, water pump, radiator, thermostat, etc.) vacuum lines, timing belt, ignition wires, and more. These will be in addition to the RepairPal estimate above.
Audi V8 Quattro head gasket failures are often due to an overheated engine, but can also be caused by high mileage and/or age.
An early sign of a failing head gasket will be a rough running engine when you first start the vehicle, especially if it's been sitting overnight. The rough running will generally last for only a few seconds.
A leaking head gasket or cracked cylinder head will often leak engine coolant into the oil, causing a "chocolate milk" like appearance and the oil level my be higher than normal.
Failed head gaskets or damaged cylinder heads can cause engine coolant to leak into the combustion chamber, producing a white, sweet-smelling smoke from the tail pipe.

When is the best time to work out? Healthy living expert Chalene Johnson gives her take.
Have you ever wondered what the best time to work out is? Or if the time that you work out affects your results?� While a late workout is better than no workout, I�m a firm believer that not only does the early bird catch the worm, but the early bird is a fit worm, too.� There are so many benefits to getting your exercise in first thing.� And if you set a weight loss goal this year, committing to morning workouts will greatly increase your chances of reaching it.� Here are five reasons why:
RELATED: When You Can�t Workout
1. Workout consistency. You might not have the most energy when you first wake up, but you�re more likely to get your workouts in if you do them first thing in the morning. There are less distractions, interruptions and things that could keep you from exercising when everyone else is still in bed. If you wait until after work, or when you can fit it in,� let�s be honest, you probably won�t.� Don�t leave your workouts up to chance!� It might be difficult to wake up an hour earlier at first, but trust me, when you�re finished with your workout, you�ll be so glad you did!
2. Increased energy. An early morning workout jumpstarts your energy and metabolism. It sets the tone for the rest of the day by igniting your metabolism and helping you burn more calories at rest.� Plus, you will be more alert and productive.� So not only will your body benefit, but so will your mind.
3. Better sleep. Exercising bright and early gets your body into a routine.� Consistently expending energy early in the day helps you fall asleep faster at night.� On top of this, studies show that those who get efficient sleep (7-8 hours per night) lose weight faster and are more successful in keeping it off.
4. Better results. Think about it. If you�re working out consistently, igniting your metabolism, burning more calories at rest and you�re getting more/better sleep, you�re bound to see results!� Plus, if you exercise early, you�re likely to be more conscious of your food choices throughout the day. Why undo all the hard work you put in with a crappy diet later on?
5. Improved weight loss maintenance. Again, the key here is consistency and setting the tone for your day.� When you get into the routine of waking up and working out first thing, a healthier lifestyle becomes a habit.� And health habits equal long lasting results!� So set that alarm, wake up, and work out, because morning is the best time to workout!

With the "ArKol" project, researchers at Fraunhofer ISE together with partners are currently developing two façade collectors for solar thermal energy generation, which permit a high degree of design flexibility: a strip collector for opaque façade sections and a solar thermal blind for transparent sections. The current state of the two developments will be presented at the BAU 2017 trade fair.
As part of the "ArKol – development of architecturally highly integrated façade collectors with heat pipes" project, Fraunhofer ISE together with its partners...

The weekend is here, so many of you will be heading to the beer store trying to find some new beers to try.
So, as my continued service to you, I tried several new beers (and a new cider) that you�ll see on the shelves to help you decide if it�s something you�ll like.
First up this week is the new fall seasonal cider from Angry Orchard, the Cinnful Apple.
Liking this cider will really be dependant on whether you like cinnamon. The first thing you smell when you open the bottle is cinnamon, quickly followed by fresh apples. Those smells quickly turn into flavor � it almost tastes like liquid apple crisp.
If you�re not a cider fan, this may be too much for you. However, if you�re like me and love cinnamon and apples this is definitely worth seeking out. It�s available now in six packs.
Next up is the new wee heavy from Innis & Gunn, the Canadian Cherry Wood Finished ale.
This wee heavy is brewed with maple syrup and aged on cherry wood chips. It smells like sweet cherry and maple syrup. Once you take your first sip, you�ll pick up a lot of flavors � a little cherry, some plums, vanilla and a sweet maple candy-like taste.
The Innis & Gunn is all about the malt � the hops are barely detectable. Despite being sweet, it�s not cloying. It actually kind of reminds me of a low alcohol Samuel Adams Utopias. It�s a great sipping beer, a real pleasure to drink.
I�ve been a fan of most Slumbrew beers, but I really had no interest in the new Sittin� on Hop of the World. I haven�t liked many white IPAs and I�m not a huge fan of peaches, which are a key ingredient to this beer, so it didn�t appeal to me. However, several people raved about it, so I gave it a try.
I�m glad I did. This is Slumbrew�s best beer to date. The peach flavor works perfectly in the beer, blending nicely with the floral hops, with neither flavor overwhelming the other. It smells fantastic.
Smuttynose Brewing Company has re-released its former Short Batch series Rye IPA as the newest Big Beer, the Rhye IPA.
This is a 7 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) IPA smells slightly peppery from the rye, mixed with a piney hop aroma. The peppery rye flavor is there when you taste the Rhye, but there is a sweet, almost biscuity, malt flavor that stands out more than you�d expect from the aroma.
The hops don�t really shine as much as you expect in an IPA, but there is a pleasant bitterness. Overall, it�s a really solid beer.
And finally, the Stone Brewing Company�s 17th Anniversary G�tterd�mmerung IPA has hit stores.
This is a unique IPA � completely different from anything Stone has done. Using mainly German ingredients, including hops and malts, it�s not the typical West Coast IPA.
The results are mixed. The beer smells slightly like plums and pears, mixed with an earthiness. But the taste starts off overly herbal, almost medicinal. That quickly gives way to a clean drinking and balanced IPA. I think I just took a little while to get used to the flavors.
Ok, time to go to the packie.

What Can Open Data Do for Your Company?
Titans like Google and Facebook benefit from the data they mine every day from user activity, as do retail giants such as Target and Amazon by drawing conclusions from consumer shopping habits. But can your organization download that data and use it as business intelligence? Depends who you are - for most of us, it's pretty unlikely. The good news: There's still a tremendous amount of data out there about customers and the business landscape that doesn't originate with business. It originates with government.
That's a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because you generally don't need to license data that's considered an open record, and you don't have to worry about whether your competitors have data that you don't have. So that means you can monetize it, and examples abound. Google, with a combination of private, government and crowdsourced data, built incredible value around its Maps application. BuildFax has federated hundreds of sources of open government data to provide property history information and apps to the insurance and mortgage industry. Ancestry.com mines census and other government data, and prior to its acquisition, had a market cap greater than $1 billion. GuideStar, an organization that helps folks compare not-for-profit data, turns IRS Form 990 information into data tables and sells subscriptions for its financial analysis tool. The list goes on, including, of course, the creepier "find out anything about anybody" industry that makes use of government data to sell unlisted phone numbers to the highest bidder. (S6660313)

Skip to comments.Mediation between Hostess and bakery union fails
Posted on 11/20/2012 7:01:36 PM PST by Jean S
Hostess Brands Inc. lived to die another day.
The maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs said late Tuesday that it failed to reach an agreement with its second biggest union. As a result, Hostess plans to continue with a hearing on Wednesday in which a bankruptcy court judge will decide if the company can shutter its operations.
The renewed talks between Hostess and The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union came after the company declared last week that it would move to wind down its business and start selling off its assets in bankruptcy court. The company cited a crippling strike that was started on Nov. 9 by the union, which represents 30 percent of Hostess workers.
After making its case to liquidate on Monday, the bankruptcy judge hearing the case noted that the two sides hadn't yet tried resolving their differences through private mediation. The judge noted that 18,000 jobs were on the line and urged the company and union to try to resolve their differences. Both sides agreed to hold mediation proceedings on Tuesday.
In a statement late Tuesday, Hostess said it would not comment on the breakdown in talks other than to say that mediation "was unsuccessful."
Hostess shut down its three dozen plants late last week after it said the strike by the bakers union hurt its ability to maintain normal production. The bakers union says the company's demise was the result of years of mismanagement, however, and that workers have already given steep concessions over the years.

Hostess Plans to Liquidate After Mediation Fails
11/20/2012 4:46:44 PM PST · by jimbo123 · 70 replies
Wall Street Journal ^ | 11/20/12 | JULIE JARGON And RACHEL FEINTZEIG
Hostess Brands Inc. said Tuesday night that mediation talks with its bakers union failed and the company will proceed with plans to close down and sell its assets.
Who do the bakers think they are, a bunch of public school teachers - the Mexicans can bake these cupcakes and ship them over the border.
Yes, search does work now. I posted this because you need a subscription to the WSJ to read the other article.
18,500 American jobs headed to Mexico. Another big "win,win" for the union Neanderthals.
Union busters at work - 'tis a beautiful thing.
I have to confess I'm a ding dong for Ding Dongs. . . was a little depressed after eating what I thought was my last one. . .when lo and behold I found a box in the freezer. To ween off my habit I plan to eat one once a month beginning January. . .maybe by next December the Mexicans will be up and running Ding Dongs across the border!
is the union retarded or what?
In all but four states, strikers are ineligible for unemployment compensation. Does the liquidation of the business "end" the strike or lock it in for perpetuity? If the former, was that the quid pro quo offered to the locals, that they'd have a few years of bennies from Obama while the national played out its strategy?
Union busters? The company lost over a $1 billion over the last decade. Just who busted whom?
Meditation? I just don't think sitting there cross-legged and humming is going to bring those people to an agreement.
Sugar is also one-fourth the cost in Mexico and Canada as it is in the US.
The workers probably aren't even aware that their union bosses are operatives of 0bama, seeking to destroy iconic American companies and any other private sector business. Cloward & Piven requires it. 0bama's mantra is 'every job is a government job'. When the president meet with moveon.org within days after his re-election, bad things are planned. We've got walk-outs at LAX planned, Walmart, and numerous 'black Friday' walk-outs. You can bet 0bamugabe is behind this SH!T. He talked about taxes with Richard Trumka?? HAHAAHAAAAAA HAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA yeah right.
This is the failing of both the media and their liberal aspirations. They think "over" only means over for the people that run the business and that now they can take over and make rainbows, chewy bears and unicorns fall from the sky.
Did they really expect the unions to give an inch?
Let them eat food stamps and unemployment checks... hell, they'll be doing better than most of us...
Ding Dong smuggling will become huge!
The drug cartels will have to include them in the marijuana shipments.
(munchies doncha know)
Prayers for all of the folks caught up in this disaster who wanted to keep their jobs.
The drug cartels will be scared, because they are confronted with wild-eyed fiends - addicts suffused with twinkie-rage, coming to grab their share.
Two job openings here:
Indianapolis, IN for lookers...
I have to confess Im a ding dong for Ding Dongs
I just posted on the other thread that I own a Bimbo bread route, and use to see the Hostess rep daily. He used to give me a couple boxes a week to take home to my kids. My kids are in deep morning over the loss of their favorite snake.
oops, snake = snack
Thank you.
Can't help you with the Ding Dongs, but go to CooksCountry.com and do a search for "Chocolate Cream Cupcakes." They're better than the Hostess cupcakes. I made a batch tonight for tomorrow's bake sale. I expect them to bid high!
Twinies forever. :)
I mean Twinkies. Oops.
I love drakes yodels ad the ho hos.... The little Debbie Swiss rolls arent quite the same...... Sigh ..... FUBO!
Gansito, the mexican Hostess will take over and fill the void
That is a good point. Another success for sugar tariffs.
Many in San Francisco would agree with your words, but not your sentiment.
Tariffs, like the Bakers union, killed our sugar cane industry. Now, everything is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Great, we develop diabetes and become fatter than Monsanto's corn margins.
I can't eat the stuff due to an allergy. I lost 40 lbs when I cut it out of my diet (no small feat since it's in everything).
"Who do the bakers think they are, a bunch of public school teachers"
Apparently they do; they feel they should be paid even if it means Hostess stops paying their utility bills, non-union payrolls, etc.
We had out Pathmark supermarket close a couple of years ago; Obamanomics at work (in conjunction with the "Wal-Martization" of America.
:: Hostess plans to continue with a hearing on Wednesday in which a bankruptcy court judge will decide if the company can shutter its operations. ::
The judge will soon be hearing from the Obamugabe administration, and, the bankruptcy judge will say, "no" and the Unions (Bakers and Teamsters) will be awarded 75% of the company's premium and preferred shares.
It will be GM deja vu.
Let them eat cake...
A bankruptcy judge can't force a company to stay in business.
And we thought the government couldn't force us to participate in the market economy either.
In the Obamugabe era, the bankruptcy court will do as told. I'll be very surprised if Hostess closes.
So the union would rather that it's members be out of jobs completely than have jobs with a paycut? Especially in this economy?
I,d like to take this time to wish all of you union thugs and your famalies a very Mary Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
The dons of the union crime families make the decisions, and they still have their jobs. They couldn't care less about the actual workers.
It is inevitable they close...
Most people don't eat that crap.
It is overpriced and devoid of nutrition.
A lot of the baked goods market is falling into the abyss because of dietary changes.
Some judge ordering them to stay in business won't change a thing.
We are at political and cultural war with these people and we have to use every tactic in the book to expose them. Please, no more Mr. Nice Guy, kick them in the teeth instead! Figuratively speaking of course...
What's needed is to give the workers the option of de-certifying the union by secret ballot, and just going back to work.
Don't worry... as long as we have politicians in this country we will never run out of Ding Dongs!
A WSJ editorial today claimed that human resources costs for the bakers are not out-of-wack at Hostess, and not the big operartions cost factor sapping Hostess revenue as much as the work rules of the Teamsters Union (requires anyone BUT NOT the driver be part of loading a truck and some products cannot be assigned to the same trucks - increasing how many employees and how many truck routes it takes to get Hostess products distributed). And the Teamsters accepted their agreement with Hostess, but that agreement did not much change those work rules (Hostess couldn't get 'em changed), leaving only the bakers compensation on the table.
It was also said that most of Hostess Teamsters Union drivers were not altogether worried about a Hostess total failure - that union seniority would get them bumped (over existing or new drivers) into Teamsters driver jobs in other companies with Teamsters contracts, while such prospects were not as likely for the bakers.
I am not saying the WSJ oped has the whole story, but that it does present the whole story with information not given much play when "blaming the bakers union" was the only story. I think the real issues are more complex than that.

The Kung Fu Panda Phenomenon
While there's an air of inevitability around cloud computing, the ROI calculation has stayed in flux. A lot depends on whether we're talking SaaS, PaaS or IaaS; some are easier to wrap your arms around than others. Because of SaaS's very granular cost methodology, it's actually pretty straightforward to calculate investment and who benefits, and thus peg return on investment. For example, especially for commoditized enterprise applications like email, it's fairly trivial to figure out how much personnel, storage, servers, software and licenses cost to come up with a per-seat price for in-house email. Then you can compare apples to apples.
Not so with platform and infrastructure as a service. They certainly have a leg up on conventional networks in terms of cost granularity and transparency. After all, you know exactly what something costs when you run it for an hour. Easy, right? Except now you've got to compare it to in-house infrastructure, and that's where things get complicated, because we tend not to have a good handle on those costs. If you throw private clouds in the mix--and you should, because they're the future--comparisons get even more difficult, because now you have to compare the cost of doing things the conventional way (for argument's sake, straight virtualization with SANs for most infrastructure needs) versus the cost of reinventing your staff and building a private cloud versus the ongoing costs of public cloud. It's easy if you're a startup building a greenfield IT infrastructure from scratch, but much more complicated for an established enterprise.
The 374 respondents to our latest InformationWeek Cloud ROI Survey are using more public cloud services across the board compared with the last time we ran this poll, in April 2010. But that's not to say we have more cost clarity. (R3890312)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2012 Cloud ROI Survey
Survey Date November 2011
Region North America
Number of Respondents 374
Purpose To determine the extent of cloud computing ROI analysis in the enterprise.

Copper Hand Trowel
- Summary
This general-purpose hand castor trowel is handcrafted by Austrian coppersmiths, who forge each heirloom-quality tool from tin bronze - a hardwearing, rust resistant copper alloy that contains 94% copper. The curved, pointed blade is honed to a sharp edge that slides into soil with ease. As it contacts soil, the blade deposits minute amounts of copper that promote water absorption and help to repel slugs and snails.
- Crafted for enduring quality, with honed edges that retain their sharpness.
- Blade is hand forged to premium hardness, then polished to a high shine and left unsealed.
- Long-lasting sharp edges.
- Rust-resistant metal ages naturally to an attractive bronze patina.
- Turned solid beech handle is finished with linseed oil.
- Handle can be personalized.
- Copper and brass fittings.
- As with any handcrafted item, subtle imperfections, textures and irregularities are to be expected, and are part of the unique beauty of each piece.
- 3 1/4" wide, 12" long; 8 oz.
- Made in Austria and Hungary.
- Use & Care
- Bronze retains its color best when used frequently. Less-frequent use will encourage a verdigris patina to develop.
- To clean, simply rinse with clear water; dry thoroughly.
- The edge can be sharpened periodically with a whetstone or file or by peening (hammering against a steel anvil).
- Condition handle with linseed oil or beeswax, if desired.
- Store in a cool, dry place.

Top Credit Card Stories of 2012
NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- Last year was a relatively quiet one for the credit card industry, but there were a number of developments that may have a far-reaching impact. Here are the top 10 credit card stories of 2012:
1. Swipe fee settlement
In July, MasterCard (MA) , Visa (V) and other major banks agreed to pay more than $6 billion to resolve accusations that they engaged in anti-competitive practices and price fixing in payment processing. In addition, credit card companies agreed to reduce swipe fees for eight months, an adjustment valued at $1.2 billion. The settlement would also allow retailers to charge higher prices to their customers for paying with credit cards. Before this settlement, the card companies prohibited retailers from adding this type of surcharge.
Just days after the proposed settlement, Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) came out against it and were joined by major trade groups including the National Association of Convenience Stores, the National Retail Federation and the National Restaurant Association. Eventually, a majority of the original 19 plaintiffs would come out against the settlement.
They are challenging a part of the order that would free Visa and MasterCard from new legal claims over related interchange issues. The settlement got initial approval in the U.S. District Court in November but is being appealed in the appeals court.
2. Growth of prepaid cards
Thanks to regulations and legislation on credit cards, banks are turning renewed attention to prepaid cards. Prepaid cards have fewer regulations than credit cards and banks are embracing prepaid cards for needed revenue. Today, competition for the prepaid market is growing and driving down rates and fees. Consumers loaded approximately $57 billion onto prepaid cards in 2011, and loads were projected to reach approximately $82 billion last year, $117 billion this year and $167 billion next year, according to the Mercator Advisory Group .
There are no government regulations and consumer protections on prepaid cards -- debit and credit card rules and regulations do not apply. But that may soon change. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is investigating the fees and practices of prepaid cards and seeking input on ways to enforce safety for consumers.
3. The Libor scandal
The Libor rate-fixing scandal is far reaching for consumers and financial institutions. Regulators are still investigating whether banks rigged interest rates to gain more profits or perhaps reported lower interest rates on loans to appear more financially stable. A rigged Libor rate means millions of people around the world might have unknowingly paid more or less interest than they should have on their mortgages, student loans and credit cards.
Regulators have begun handing down fines. In June, British bank Barclays (BCS) was fined $450 million by U.S. and British regulators. Just recently, Swiss bank UBS (UBS) agreed to pay $1.5 billion in fines for its role in manipulating Libor and other benchmark interest rates. This is one of the biggest fines that regulators have given a financial institution.

Just thought you ought to know about THIS:
The Republican National Committee this week unveiled a lengthy report, providing an "autopsy" of what went wrong in 2012, and offering a blueprint for how the party can get back on track. The RNC's vision covers quite a bit of ground, detailing possible plans on procedure, tactics, strategy, outreach, and just a pinch of policy.
But to an almost surprising degree, the Republican National Committee's plan is entirely secular. The "Growth and Opportunity" report uses the word "Reagan" six times, but there are literally zero references to God, Christianity, and/or the ...

Rebooting the Tablet Market in 2012
Until recently, the tablet market has in essence been the iPad market. But Google's rapid software development cycles, open licensing and recruitment of a plethora of smartphone-turned-tablet OEMs has allowed Android products to chip away at Apple's lead. As the year's first big trade event, the Consumer Electronics Show, fades into the rear-view mirror, it's clear 2012 will bring yet more upheaval in the tablet landscape, including one or more iPad updates, a bevy of high-end Android plays, a new generation of small-form-factor budget devices (think Kindles) and even the entrance of the Wintel duopoly into the market.
We'll examine the state of enterprise-worthy tablets by analyzing the specs and features of six representative products with a focus on enterprise readiness and provide a comprehensive table of features.
Although the iPad sets the standard--meaning that the data sheets end up having a lot in common--we'll highlight the differences, particularly in features enterprise buyers and IT pros care most about. We'll also place these products in the context of the overall tablet ecosystem and outline technology changes, both recently announced at CES 2012 and reasonably presumed based on existing industry trends, that tablet buyers should expect in the coming year.

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
All the flavors you love from buffalo wings without all the added fat.
Making shredded buffalo chicken in the slow cooker is super easy, anyone can do this and you can use the chicken for everything from wraps and salads, to pizza toppings, sandwiches and more! A great low-carb, gf way I like to eat this is in a lettuce wrap topped with shredded carrots, celery and blue cheese dressing. I used my skinny blue cheese dressing (not included in n.i.) or if you're not a fan of blue cheese, you can use my skinny ranch.
If you're a buffalo chicken fan, you may also like Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip or Skinny Baked Buffalo Wings.

SaaS Adoption Soars, Yet Deployment Concerns Linger
Forget the Tea Party—software as a service is the real revolution. In our InformationWeek Analytics 2010 SaaS report, we called for CIOs to filter through the cloud computing hype and develop a realistic plan to incorporate SaaS. There's just no reason enterprise IT teams should be bogged down delivering commodity services, and the outsourced option should be on the table whenever a new IT-driven capability is requested by the business.
In our 2010 poll, 47% of respondents were using SaaS. What a difference a year makes. We surveyed 275 business technology professionals, all of whom are involved in their companies' enterprise applications strategies, for our InformationWeek Analytics 2011 SaaS Survey and found that today, 60% are using applications in the cloud, up 13 points in 11 months—one of the biggest adoption jumps we've seen for any technology category in such a short period.
Deployments are still not trouble free. More respondents express concerns over features and functionality. Those citing opex savings as a key decision driver went up three points, making us wonder about these companies' budget processes. And, in our 2011 survey, 26% rate the applications currently delivered as services as mission-critical to the organization, down from 34%.
What's not down is the number of SaaS providers taking on giants like Microsoft, Google and Salesforce.com. In our survey, when we asked about SaaS vendors in use, in addition to our list, we got more than 60 write-ins across just about every functional IT area. For smaller companies, such a rich applications landscape was the stuff of dreams just a few years ago.
"Our staff now spends time producing content rather than building and maintaining sites, software and equipment," says one IT manager for a group of radio stations. "Cost is reduced, content is dramatically increased since they have more time to create it, and quality is universal at multiple locations and facilities. I will be looking for other ways to use SaaS for accounting, billing and business functions."
While in our practice we've seen significant reliability and security strides made over the past year, this organization is still maintaining in-house backups of critical content, a smart move. Problems also remain around integrating outsourced applications into internal IT architectures, and it's an open question whether SaaS vendors operating on thin margins can keep customers happy.

FTC: 1 in 5 Have Time Bombs in Their Credit Reports
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- You may now know it, but you could have an error on your credit report that would result in your paying more for a home, credit card or car.
Says who? Says Uncle Sam, in a report out this week.
According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission , 5% of Americans have mistakes on at least one of the three major credit reports -- Experian, TransUnion and Equifax (EFX) -- that could cost them more for major purchases.
Furthermore, 20% of U.S. consumers have a mistake on their credit report that may not trigger an immediate decline in their credit scores but could hurt their scores down the road.
Credit scores are the ultimate kitchen table economist issue. Let unattended, those errors could really hit Americans where it hurts -- in the wallet.
"These are eye-opening numbers for American consumers," says Howard Shelanski, director of the FTC's Bureau of Economics. "The results of this first-of-its-kind study make it clear that consumers should check their credit reports regularly. If they don't, they are potentially putting their pocketbooks at risk."
Here's a snapshot of relevant points from the FTC report:
- 25% of U.S. consumers found errors on their credit reports that could crimp their credit health.
- 20% of consumers had an error on their credit report that was corrected by the credit agency after the mistake was disputed.
- 80% of consumers who filed disputes had the mistake "modified" by the credit report agency.
- 5% of consumers had a maximum score change of more than 25 points, and only one in 250 consumers had a maximum score change of more than 100 points.
"Credit reports play a crucial role in determining consumers' financial discipline and responsibility," says Howard Dvorkin, CPA and founder of Consolidated Credit . "Detecting credit report errors allows consumers to correct inaccurate information that could potentially lead to denied loans and high interest rates."
Dvorkin advises consumers to check their credit report every 90 days -- credit reports are free through annualcreditreport.com, FTC officials note -- and contact the credit bureau right away to fix a mistake. That's especially important before buying a home, car or applying for a credit card or insurance policy.
To tackle low credit scores, he says, consumers should call creditors and negotiate a lower interest rate. Somewhat surprisingly, creditors are receptive to a lower rate if they think it will help them collect their debt more quickly.
Consolidating credit card debt is another good way to bump up your credit score, Dvorkin adds. That makes it easier to pay down debt and increase the average age of revolving credit lines, which can help the credit utilization ratio.
Managing your credit health doesn't have to be a full-time job.

Translation: everything I've been preaching about has completely went down the tubes. Now I'll try to insult you like you don't know what you're talking about.
You never answered my question about what a forced TO is.
Stiff Alex Smith 1
Golden Boy Brees 0
Translation: everything I've been preaching about has just been validated, but I will have to waste time explaining that to people that don't know the difference and will pretend that this game some how, some way, made their point when it did anything but.
Your argument was that a good defense and a good running game can beat these high-powered attacks. Just because SF got to where they are with a good defense and a good running game doesn't mean that those aspects had anything to do with them winning this game. They revealed that they can fire back offensively through the air if they have to (at least this week). THAT'S what it takes to win in the NFL. If SF is going to keep going, they'll need more 300+ yard games from Alex Smith (and probably get lucky enough to get 5 turnovers per game, "forced" or not).
A forced TO is when a player willfully makes the effort to strip the ball from a ballcarrier.
A hard hit that causes a player to fumble isn't necessarily a forced TO. It's very likely he was just trying to tackle the guy. He hit the guy, the guy should've held onto the ball.
An interception is always the most difficult to judge. JJ Watt last week had a forced TO, since he jumped up and stole the ball right at the point of release. Picks by CB's... who knows? Bad throw? Bad route? Great play? How many of Colt's INT's this year were "forced" and how many were that he made bad decisions/throws? You have to give the D that gets turnovers credit for getting them, but it's as much the opponent's MISTAKE as it is the Defense's GOOD PLAY.
And now, good sir, I bid you and your argument good night. I don't need to watch any more of this game, so it's movie time.
