Topic: Temporarily saving data
Hi guys
I'm making an app for Twilio where I will perform several Redirects. The first selection callers will be able to make is the language selection, so obviously this needs to be remembered. The Twilio staff told me the call has an ID which I should be able to store, in order to decide which language to use after that initial redirect. I could store this in the database, but then it would be come bloated after a while with entries that I use only once.
What is the best way to solve this? I would say this ID and its selected language would only need to be remembered during the call, but let's take a day to keep it easy. I don't want to run some kind of "dumb" job that clears the table, as that might force something to go wrong in the middle of a call.
Thanks guys

Topic: Rails Mailer - How can I send confirmation email to myself as well?
Hi guys,
I am currently using the "mailer gem" for sending emails to the users. It works perfectly but I'd love to send
a confirmation email to myself as well (to the administrator who has firstname.lastname@example.com account). I was trying to write something like mailto: "email@example.com" but it wasn't working. I must be missing something.
This is app/mailers/user_mailer.rb file that I've got:

Comments about Womens Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri Skorts Fitness Skirts:
I purchased this for running half marathons because I wanted a skirt to give coverage and side pockets to hold my phone etc. The pockets are great and so much easier than getting my phone in and out of a belt to check my running time. This product is ver comfortable as well. My only complaint is that there is not compression at all in the legs and I really need some compression on my knees.

Comments about Womens Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri Skorts Fitness Skirts:
I love the Capri skirt. Makes transition from work to running more comfortable, covers just enough so I don't feel self conscious leaving work or running errands before my run. True to size, I was a little worried because there is no drawstring, but it stays up and is super comfortable on my runs. So cute and comfortable I'm looking to buy more!

In short: Great atmosphere, nice level course, blingy medal, decent technical tee.In full: I'm not a lover of half marathons, but the level course and the supportive atmosphere led me to my second best time. I'd definitely recommend this, though the music was almost non existent, and I didn't really get why Austin Healy was the "celebrity" starter. Not a runner, not from Liverpool, and not rock or roll. Presumably available and relatively cheap.Date of review: May 27, 2014
In short: Muddy MarvellousIn full: Walk out to a rural start, then pell mell first 1km through a muddy field - it I'd billed as multi-terrain, it sure is. Nice loop on quiet Cheshire country back roads then back through the field - it has been a wet time, so mud was muddy. Nice goody bag presented by the juniors who ram earlier, with a terrific and useful memento. My best 10 k thus year, a joy and has kindled a desire for more trail based runs. Nicely organised, thanks Striders.Date of review: October 14, 2012

Topic: Simple formulas - alternative to eval?
We have a Rails 2.2 app that collects responses to a set of questions. Each set of responses receives a score in several different categories, and we have a formula to calculate the value for each one.
The formula typically looks like something like this:
(42 - ((questions[12345].response == 44444 ? 2 : 0)
+ (questions[12346].response == 55555 ? 2 : 0).to_f / 14)).to_f
) / 2
We build up the formulas into a massive string, and then evaluate it using instance_eval:
formulas.each do |formula|
eval_string += "results[#{formula.id.to_s}] = (#{formula.formula})\n"
This works, but is slow and memory intensive. Can anyone think of another way we could do this?

I have to apologize for my absence.New Year Resolutions are always made with the best of intentions, right? Unfortunately, I slacked and let a few other things take precedence. I had been meaning to post this photo given to me by my cousin, Milt. We had met early in December and I hadn't gotten around to scanning this until now. I was truly surprised and grateful that Milt shared this. This is a photo of my dad. I do not have a date when it was taken. My dad had shared this with Milt–they had spoken about my dad's war experiences together. Knowing that my father had curled up inside of that ball is a disquieting feeling.

Six Watches Worth Watching
Everyone from aviators to divers can find a top-of-the-line timepiece designed specially for their needs.
Certain specialized wristwatches have grown over time to represent hallmarks of a style. Think scuba, and the Rolex Submariner or the Panerai come to mind; for pilots, there are the Breitling and the Glycine. Manufacturers have maintained and refined many of these pieces, knowing that there will always be a ready market for classics. Many watchmakers offer a range of models based on the original definitive style, in a seductive assortment of materials and movements. Here's a top-end selection of watches that have become the de facto brand emissaries for those seeking the authentic look in a special-purpose watch.
Flying: Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute
Breitling developed its pilot market with the 1952 launch of a slide-rule watch that arguably became the most famous flight instrument ever made: the 24-hour-dial Breitling Navitimer. This watch was the basis for the equally renowned Navitimer Cosmonaute, released 10 years later, which received design input from astronaut Scott Carpenter. Carpenter wore it into space on May 24, 1962, using its built-in flight computer to calculate mission data.
For purists, the Cosmonaute has remained relatively unchanged for more than half a century: as always, it offers a 43-millimeter-cased flyback chronograph with a 47-jewel automatic mechanical movement, three subdials, bidirectional crown, push-down sapphire crystal and, of course, a slide rule. Currently, Breitling produces four iterations of the Navitimer, with a variety of bands, in stainless steel or 18K red gold. Prices start around $7,900.
Diving: PAM 515 Radiomir 1940 3 Days Oro Rosso
We can thank Sylvester Stallone for bringing one of the world's most iconic diving brands to the attention of U.S. consumers when he returned from Italy in 1995 sporting a Luminor Panerai on his wrist. The Florence, Italy-based Officine Panerai was founded in 1860 and began producing watches for the Italian navy in 1938. Panerais are known for their large and robust appearance. The company limits production of most models to fewer than 1,000 watches.
The Radiomir 1940 pays homage to the case designed to meet the demands of the commandos of the Italian navy and it evolved from the company's 1936 Radiomir model, which defined the Panerai style. The current version, which sells for $26,500, is made of red gold—an alloy composed of gold, copper and other metals—and runs on a hand-wound Panerai P.3000 movement. The massive 47-millimeter Radiomir is part of Officine Panerai's Historic Collection.
Driving: Tag Heuer Automobile Club de Monaco Limited Edition
Tag Heuer introduced the Monaco—the world's first waterproof race timer automatic chronograph—in 1969; Steve McQueen powered it into global popularity when he wore it a year later in the movie LeMans. The original square-cased, blue-dial watch has evolved into a complete line of models for men and women, with this limited edition representing the most desirable attributes of both new and classic models.
The Automobile Club de Monaco edition, which sells for $8,200, features a caliber 12 chronograph movement, 39-millimeter, black-titanium, carbide-coated case and sapphire-crystal glass. It is Tag's first black-case watch since 1974, and it pays homage to one of the most collectible classic Monaco Editions: the PVD Monaco. Only 22 original black PVDs are known to exist, with one recently selling for 48,000 pounds at auction.
Moon Watching: Jaeger-Le Coultre Master Calendar—ref. 1552520
Jaeger-Le Coultre has produced moon-phase watches for more than 60 years and has a long history of developing technically exacting timepieces. The company's Atmos series of table clocks will supposedly maintain correct time for thousands of years (although it's obviously too soon to verify that claim).
The JLC Master Calendar is first and foremost a dress watch with a distinctive moon-tracking feature. JLC's in-house movements are a point of pride for the company, and this model features an automatic movement with 28,800 vibrations per hour, 43-hour power reserve and 32 jewels. It sports a fabulous and trendy pink gold case and a silvered sunray-brushed dial with 4N gold appliqués on an alligator-leather strap. Limited to 305 pieces, the model sells for $23,500.
Sporting: Casio G-Shock G-Aviation
For 39 years, Casio's G-Shock series has set a benchmark for tough, multi-featured sports watches. Worn by many sportspeople and military personnel, the watches are designed to withstand extreme abuse and provide intuitive access to a huge variety of features. And they look cool, to boot. Strap on a G-Shock and you're halfway to adventure.
The newest concept model, while called G-Aviation, is really a general sports watch. It incorporates the maker's proprietary Triple G Resist technology, to withstand the shock of three forces: gravitational dropping force, centrifugal force and vibration. The $600 watch is solar powered by a five-motor-driven movement that operates the hour, minute and second hands independently. It receives time signals from multiple global atomic transmitters, assuring accurate data wherever you go. The electronic crown makes it easy to view and operate its features, which include a thermometer, alarms, chronograph, countdown timer and calendar. Aviation's slick dark blue/black resin case is also shock- and water-resistant (to 200 meters).
Yachting: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II
Although it dates back only to 1992, the Rolex Yacht-Master series is already established as a classic timepiece for elegant regatta timing. Like all Rolex sport models, it features the company's patented and instantly recognizable oyster case, which is reminiscent of its famous GMT-Master and Submariner series. The Yacht-Master II is a 44-millimeter chronograph with a countdown function. The timer can be programmed for up to 10 minutes on its mechanical memory; once engaged, it can be synchronized on the fly to match the official regatta countdown.
This handsome watch will fit right in on your yacht with its classic blue-and-white accents and is available in steel and gold. It features a Rolex-designed and -produced self-winding, 42-jewel mechanical caliber 4161 regatta chronograph movement and a Ring Command rotatable bezel with blue ceramic disk. An 18-karat yellow gold model retails for $43,550.

In addition to educating pilots, the Aviation Program at Delaware State lays a strong foundation for a wide range of careers in the aviation industry. With an Aviation Management degree, students gain first-hand experience and knowledge in subjects such as
- airport management
- air and ground safety
- economics and finance
- personnel management
- aviation law and regulations
Employers seek out Delaware State's aviation graduates because the program has such a good track record. Our students have access to excellent facilities and a first-rate faculty, and they have gone on to great success as airport administrators, air traffic controllers, industry analysts, transportation regulators, and executives for aviation corporations. In the 20-year history of our flight school, 100 percent of our graduates have gained employment within the aviation industry.
Professional Preparation
A new generation of leaders is needed in air traffic control and airport administration, as the current generation is rapidly approaching retirement age. With an Aviation Management degree, graduates will be qualified to fill those vacancies. We have an excellent working relationship with the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA). Many of our undergraduates have work-study jobs with DRBA during school, and/or gain full-time jobs there after graduation.
The Aviation program is approved by the State of Delaware Education Department for Veterans Flight Training.
All members of the Delaware State flight school faculty have spent many years working in the aviation industry. Their backgrounds cover all sectors within the industry, including military, commercial, and private planes; airport management; air traffic control; safety and regulation; and aerodynamic engineering and product design. As a result, students are exposed to a broad range of perspectives and insights.
All our faculty are committed to the program values of dedication, safety, unity, an attitude of success, and professionalism.
Research and Experience
The Aviation Management program offers many opportunities for professional development and networking. Our internship relationships with Continental Airlines, DuPont Aviation, and the DRBA enable students to develop real-world experience and skills within the aviation industry. We also maintain close ties with the local chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Organization of Black Airline Pilots (OBAP), offering an Aviation Career Education (ACE) Camp and the OBAP Solo Flight Academy.

Topic: Paginate
Hi everyone.
Would anyone know how to use paginate with a collection that I have already loaded.
I am versioning a table using the plugin acts_as_versioned and this provides me with the ability to retreive all versions of a single entry
so something like
@versions_of_entry = Entry.find_versions params[:id]
# using same options as find will return an
# array all version of entry with id params[:id]
Now Im trying to slot this in nicely with the other code I have. This is using paginate to obtain all the current (latest version) Entries.
# Im trying to achieve something like this
@versions_of_entry, paginator = paginate( Entry.find_versions params[:id] )
# but paginate takes the options of find (and not an existing collection)
So the question. How/Can I use paginate to paginate a pre-loaded Collection?

Supernova Mascara lengthens beautifully and doesn't clump or flake. The jet black color is very glossy, leaving you with dark, full, soft lashes. The formulation applies a bit wet, so you do need to let it dry for a moment, otherwise it can smudge. Once dry, Supernova Mascara wears well throughout the day. For the money and performance, consider Maybelline's The Colossal mascara, an extraordinary mascara for only 1/3 the price of this version from Fresh.
fresh At-A-Glance
Strengths: fresh provides complete product ingredient lists on their Web site; some good facial cleansers and a handful of praiseworthy makeup items.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; very fragrant; several products contain potent plant irritants; limited sunscreens; boring below-standard toners and masks; no viable exfoliant options (at least if you're aiming to avoid extraneous irritation); no products to manage acne or reliably lighten skin discolorations; the lip balm with sunscreen does not provide sufficient UVA protection.
The story of how Boston-bred "fresh" came into existence is full of compelling adjectives and phrases like "dynamic," "passions," "inspiration," and "destined to create." It seems that back in 1991, two happy newlyweds, both with artistic backgrounds, felt there was a void in the world of luxury bath soaps. They searched far and wide, but could not find a soap that met their criteria. Of course, they began experimenting, gained a following for what they developed, and yet another clone of The Body Shop was born.
Their success has led them from a single boutique in Boston to a series of shops in New York City and a presence in upscale department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. In 2000, fresh was purchased by luxury good purveyor (and owner of Sephora) LVMH, which is not surprising given fresh's price point and positioning.
Naturally, given all of this attention, fresh quickly expanded beyond soaps. They now also offer "future of beauty" products that capitalize on such innocuous-sounding, good-for-you ingredients as black tea, rice, and soy, coupled with the latest scientific advances. In other words, according to fresh, they're giving you the best of nature and science, with a heavy accent on natural (even though in most cases it's the synthetic ingredients that are responsible for their product's texture and functionality).
In the marketing copy each fresh product includes a history of how it came to be. It's pleasant to read about products inspired by stories passed down from one generation to the next, and about cultural secrets that have been discovered, incorporated into cosmetic potions, and adorably packaged for your "fresh lifestyle" experience. However, we wouldn't encourage anyone to rely on fables and anecdotal information when it comes to making serious decisions about how to care for your skin, any more than you would do so to make dietary or health-care decisions. What your grandmother ate or what your great-grandmother put on her skin is no more relevant than basing your computer needs on what they were using back then. (Oh, that's right, there weren't computers back then—my point exactly.) We now know a lot more about skin care than ever before in history. Going back to the old ways may sound idealistic, but that doesn't take the best care of you.
Almost the entire fresh premise revolves around their products' fragrance content. For all their talk of cutting-edge technology and the wisdom of traditional remedies, what you will notice most about all of these products is the almost overpowering fragrance. Compared with countless other skin-care and hair-care lines, including Aveda, Bath & Body Works, and Origins, fresh is far more perfumed—and that spells trouble for all skin types. Perfume and eau de cologne, natural or otherwise, are serious problems for skin. The irony is that fresh's signature scents are what put them on the map, and what continue to enthrall consumers. (Women find it hard to give up fragrance in their skin-care products, just like lots of women can't eschew sun tanning, smoking, or using overly expensive skin-care products.) In contrast, many of the natural ingredients in fresh products are present only for show, not effect, and the effects from the beneficial plants are impeded by irritating plant extracts.
From facial skin care to body and hair care, fresh products are a collection of relatively standard to below-average formulations counting on the romanticized stories behind them to help them make the leap from store shelf to your home, and that seems to be happening quite a lot. However, very few of fresh's facial-care products have anything that approaches the current state of the art, especially in regard to interesting skin-identical ingredients, anti-irritants, or antioxidants. And for all the fancy posturing, their soaps are just that, soap, and the fragrance is the only unique aspect of each. None of this makes for superior skin care.
For more information about fresh, call (800) 373-7420 or visit www.fresh.com.
Fresh Makeup
Fresh's makeup offers very little to get excited about. Those who adore a lot of shimmer in their cosmetics will fare best with this line. The company's lineup includes very few matte options, and given the overwhelming prevalence of shimmer products, those over 40 should approach cautiously. This much shine works best on younger, unlined skin because shine makes wrinkles more apparent, not less. The packaging has a youth-oriented appeal, so clearly the marketing department knew who their customers were most likely to be.
Doubtless many shoppers of all ages have been lured to try Fresh cosmetics due to the beautiful packaging, but beautiful exteriors don't have anything to do with the quality of the product inside. If you shop carefully, there are a handful of products you'll probably be satisfied with, but be prepared to pay dearly; just as Fresh didn't skimp on the shimmer, it certainly didn't skimp on its retail pricing.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand.

The United States is like the Titanic, and Im here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States.
Peter Schiff August 2006
In 2006, when he faced off with many well known Titans of investing and warned of an impending financial disaster and economic collapse, Peter Schiff was laughed at by his colleagues. He urged Americans to exit financial markets and take steps to protect themselves before the wealth held in their savings accounts, retirement investments and real estate was wiped out.
Few listened.
We know what happened next.
Now, those same financial experts who publicly vilified Schiff for his predictions six years ago are at it again. Many, including our politicians, central bankers and leading economists, have unequivocally stated that the worst is behind us, and that a global recovery is on the horizon.
Once again, Peter Schiff disagrees:
I think we are heading for a worse economic crisis than we had in 2007, Schiff said. Youre going to have a collapse in the dollar a huge spike in interest rates and our whole economy, which is built on the foundation of cheap money, is going to topple when you pull the rug out from under it.
Schiff says that, despite phony signs of an economic recovery, the cancer destroying America stems from a lethal concoction of our $16 trillion federal debt and the Feds never ending money printing.
According to Schiff, these numbers are unsustainable. And the Fed has no credible exit strategy.
Eventually interest rates will rise and when they do, Schiff says, stocks will tank and bonds dip to nothing. Massive new tax hikes will be imposed and programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone.
The crisis is imminent, Schiff said. I dont think Obama is going to finish his second term without the bottom dropping out. And stock market investors are oblivious to the problems.
Were broke, Schiff added. We owe trillions. Look at our budget deficit; look at the debt to GDP ratio, the unfunded liabilities. If we were in the Eurozone, they would kick us out.
The Fed knows that the U.S. economy is not recovering, he noted. It simply is being kept from collapse by artificially low interest rates and quantitative easing. As that support goes, the economy will implode.
A noted economist, Schiff has been a fierce critic of the Fed and its policies for years. And his warnings have proven to be prophetic.
His recent warnings, however, have been even more alarming. Will they also prove to be true?
In his most recent book, The Real Crash How to Save Yourself and Your Country, Schiff writes that when the real crash comes, it will be worse than the Great Depression.
Unemployment will skyrocket, credit will dry up, and worse, the dollar will collapse completely, wiping out all savings and sending consumer prices into the stratosphere.
All we can do now is prepare for the crash, Schiff said. If we brace ourselves properly and control the impact, we will survive it.
We must understand that none of the fundamental problems leading up to the 2007/2008 financial crisis have been resolved.
If anything, its gotten worse.
Our politicians will not change, and therefore, will change nothing in Washington. Wall Street is as corrupt as ever. Our central bank continues to devalue our currency. There is no end in sight for these people. They will continue on this unsustainable path until we as a country finally hit the proverbial brick wall.
As Peter Schiff notes, the destruction to life as we know it in America and the world is imminent. Its going to be severe.
So much so that the government has been simulating the collapse of our financial system, the collapse of our society and the potential for widespread violence.
A collapse happened in 2008, but THE collapse is still ahead.
Preppers' PING!!
I agree with Schiff that we are heading for disaster, I only wish I knew how to save my savings.
When governments stand to lose the most with interest rate hikes, you can bet interest rate hikes will be very late occurrences.
Banking and Government are fingers on the same hand pulling together.
The struggle begins.
We already hit our heads on several balconies (some more stealthy than others).
And that is why when the "crash" comes, regular folks will have been squeezed quite enough already.
I have this feeling its very imminent, and that I need to liquidate some possessions very soon and just leave the country for about two years.
Nobody is fighting, nobody gives a damm and or trying to even organize any movement. I don't see any mass resistance, no Revolutionary forces mustering or marching, everybody is too dammed scared to go up against Obama, and those that say they will though numerous have no collective goal and thus will never amount to anything more than a bug smear on a windshield.
I don't know how to protect myself either ,,, I'm thinking buying good land on a long term dollar denominated loan and setting aside the payment money ahead of time to get larger lots cheaply when the dollar crashes.
People talk of barter goods ...
I can't stop thinking of the smarties that bought IBM and Coca Cola during the 1930's/40's after the bottom...
I don't see any salvation except an asset backed currency ,, wishing a few states issues oil backed notes or silver/gold backed notes. Canadian $$$ is good because of their oil and lumber resources.
The only true way to preserve wealth is to preserve your ability to create it. Ever wonder how a millionaire can lose everything and be back on top a few years later, yet a lottery winner will manage to be broke in that same time?
It will either usher in a new birth of Freedom, or a great Tyranny. Either way, I hope it happens in my lifetime and not my children's.
If we go down, the whole planet goes down with us. There will be no other place to "ride it out".
We are more "together" than you might think. As far as armed resistance? More than you might think.
One April morning....
I was born here; I'll die here.
IOW, there is no Leonidas, and this particular Spartan is grabbing a bus to Athens - to h*ll with holding the pass!
I can see it in the lower 48 but I am cursed with living in Alaska that has gone libertarian, they would rather stand in the middle of the road getting their head smacked by mirrors of opposing political vehicles. Alaskans used to be conservative.
Too timid to fight, too much hooked on handouts.
And by being in Alaska its too far to be where the action will be.
At 70 my ability is a bit limited.
Worst case scenario - A Zimbabwe-style seizure of your land. Done in the interest of "fairness" of course.
Likely scenario - Property taxes soar through the roof so that you pay your "fair" share.
When SHTF, land ownership will mean squat.
Oh, no doubt - another of several reasons not to "run away"!
1) The whole earth's economy will be in collapse.
2) We are Americans - we will right this ship together (well, the Patriots anyway).
3) We are Americans - this is OUR country.
4) We are Americans - we don't run and we don't lay down.
Think "Margin Call" on a massive scale.
Not to mention the fact that 2nd ammendment supplies and accessories basically can go no where other than here. I'm going nowhere. SHTF or no SHTF.
I feel like a fighter who will have to come back later after the first brave 300 have already died fighting to hold the ground.
But like in Spartan history the elders won't condone any organized act of war, no they will just let 300 Spartans die first, seems like the same issue nowadays.
Tea Party will just allow 300 martyrs first before sending and army is my guess.
Meh. From October of 2008:
a snip:
Ive been saying five things for the last year or two:
1. This thing could get as bad as, or worse than, the great depression (GD).
2. The GD ended with WWII.
3. The US is a form of worldwide empire with colonies like South Korea, Taiwan, India, Etc.
4. As the world economy collapses, countries like NK will be both desperate and emboldened to take military action against one of our colonies in near proximity. The result could actually ultimately end up with a hot war fought on US soil. Im talking about the 50 states.
5. Somewhat related to the four but more domestic in scope, expect a serius (sic) uptick in domestic violence, divorce, murder and various other crimes.
He was wrong about the rioting, but he explains why later in post 20.
Correct. And, if you're not from there, they will rob and then kill you.
Switzerland comes to mind. They have been riding it out for a long time. Of course, you need major assets to make a move to Switzerland to work.

Peter Schiff August 2006
I was just mentioning to someoen this weekend that one talking head said, a couple of hears ago, that these things always take longer to happen than those that see it coming think it will, but once it does happen it unfolds with a rapidity even they did not expect. Have you ever laid on the ground during a rainstorm and watched a raindrop come toward your head? It seems to cover the last foot a hundred times faster than the distance before it.
I'm already seeing it speed up. Even NPR's in depth report yesterday about the fallout from obamacare was extremely gloomy. And yes, I think Obamacare could be the straw that broke the camels back, mainly because it's really a bundle of rebar. Extra thick.
"It's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end."
"programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone."..
Might be a great place to start RIGHT NOW instead of waiting. Such action would certainly divert a significant part of the problem. Oh, never mind, that makes too much common sense.
Anyone who plans on leaving, don't come back. Guys like Duncan and I aren't going to look too kindly on those who have no stomach for the heavy lifting when the time comes.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If we go down, the whole planet goes down with us. There will be no other place to "ride it out".
My personal opinion is that this will get VERY ugly. Worse than most people can imagine. However, I've also been amazed at how they can STILL kick the can down the road, though with each kick, the distance is shorter.
They are now printing almost an additional one trillion a year. That means that as you and I may reducing our debt, our government is borrowing, on our behalf, $3,300 per year for every member of your family.
And Interest rates are going nowhere. They can't. They would put a knife to our economy in one day. It would be easier to eliminate welfare.
Soros Rogers and Buffet are trying to talk down gold but
then, those guys can buy entire small nations and own their own farmlands river and mines
Meanwhile China is trying to own all the gold in the world
and every world government is trying to "repatriate"
its gold reserves
what do they know?
Does your queen know this?
Now THAT is a tagline I might borrow!
No one in America "owns" land, if you think you do, stop paying property taxes
Correct. And, if you're not from there, they will rob and then kill you.
the Swiss just decided to limit immigration
and they are all armed
programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone...
Might be a great place to start RIGHT NOW instead of waiting. Such action would certainly divert a significant part of the problem.
We're in this fall to the "slap" of our body hitting the asphalt.
This whole thing is like the joke about a man jumping off a 100 story building. As he passes the 10th floor, a guy yells out a window, "How's it going?". The jumper yells back, "So far, so good."
We are the jumper and we just passed the 5th floor, and Obamacare is like the anvil Bugs Bunny hands his falling pursuer, causing rapid acceleration.
Yes. It's gonna hurt.
I was paraphrasing Spartan302's expressed desire to get out of Dodge.
He later clarified his stance.
As regards our Queen, she knows a lot, although I doubt she lurks at FR.
Help yourself:
Strange statement. The Tea Party is not Top Down. Never will be. Sounds like you don't like the Tea Party. That is a bit strange here.
Well here is hoping 2013 is a good year for The Tea Party, and that Washington hears the approaching voices of millions of tea party marchers.
You can lower your weapons now having said that.
Invest in items that will have greater wealth once things go south... or in the ability to acquire those items at that time.
That will depend on location. States and counties determine property taxes. Age and income usually also qualify someone for Homestead Tax relief of some sort.
We are seeing a lot of people buying property where we live and many are buying with cash from IRAs. Taxes, of course, have gone up. I see ads for rental apartments in villages that are asking $700/month. But, evidently, people are paying that.
We know someone who turned a large IRA into a fortune in real estate with an impressive cash flow. I realize all the costs involved, but, from what I can see, there is still profit to be had.
The kicker comes when they try to liquidate for cash. Ask a family farmer with 500 acres just how much he would realize in a sale. And that doesn't even factor in the estate taxes his heirs will pay.
Can you still teach? Worth more than one man and a rifle. Train 100 to shoot and be a big asset.
Where would you go and be able to be a free man?
That is exactly my take on libertarians. They stand for nothing so they fall for anything. They are like the tepid water church that the Lord speaks of in Revelations.
Not enough rural land to hide in.
Interest rates will eventually go up to reflect the risk of holding US dollars; other countries will eventually stop loaning us money.
It's possible that the US Government could sell off some of the Land/Resources that they claim in various states to help settle the debt.
A well - balanced portfolio should contain about 10% precious metals, and real estate under normal circumstances. Any necessity that you can get at today's prices rather than tomorrow's inflated values makes sense no matter what happens.
I tend to think that people living in the bible belt outside the Metro Areas will be better off on their farms outside the many small towns.
There is no doubt that being debt free and living in a home with no mortgage gives one a better chance to survive. Just buy some hard assets such as gold or silver to allow yourself to pay your real estate taxes and some additional needs.
Unfortunately, many people can not get debt free in time to beat the collapse. So there is going to be a world of hurt, and life will have some big adjustments.
Will the cities burn worse than they did during the 60's and 70's. I don't know. Do everything you can to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. That's the way I have always lived, and it's no different now.

I'm going for a more manual feel where you can really get the wood fired experience. -Willard
Jeff, I think a 4-1/2X2-1/2X9" fire brick weighs 3 lbs.
There is a big misconception that is being peddled in the pizza world............that Neapolitan pizza sits on top of the mountain peak, and all other pizzas are some type of inferior wannabees if you will. I think there are probably people on this forum making dynamite pizza in their home ovens. The best pizza I have had was not Neapolitan or wood fired. I talked to a guy yesterday who has a wood fired oven and a 2stone who said some of the best pizza he has had came out of an electric oven. (guess who's it is)
Also, I remember having a great conversation with Chau once where he commented that when you really nail a crust at 600 degrees it really isn't THAT much different than the crust on a great neapolitan 1 minute bake.
For me as a home pizza maker, it really comes down to texture. What texture suits you most. I like a slightly to crispy shell on the rim with a very soft and sometimes melt in your mouth cloudy crumb with very little chew. I've always described this as like a really great baguette. So yes, for me good pizza and bread can be one in the same. For those who haven't had a great baguette, you wouldn't understand or agree. I am not talking about chewy or bready sourdough type breads. This type of crust is exceedingly difficult to get right with either styles and anything inbetween. If you can make a really great pizza dough, it will bake up really well whether at 600F or 900F. It just bakes faster at 900F and the toppings remain more fresh or raw. But having an oven that can produce an even bake at 900F does not guarantee good NP pizza either. And yes, NP while a more challenging pie to make, fast bakes do hide a myriad of mistakes in the dough. This is why folks are always saying that caputo can't be used at lower temps b/c it makes for a tough crust. This is b/c their dough is wrong. The gluten is overdeveloped. A great dough will get slightly tougher as it cools (how can it not) but it will by and large remain soft 30 minutes post bake. Flour is flour. If you make a great caputo dough, it will bake up just fine at lower temps as well as higher temps. And btw, one of the very best crust I have ever made (possibly the best) and have yet to fully and consistently duplicate was bake in the home oven at around 600F. Not my WFO, and not my LBE/MBE. Yes I have pulled out plenty of great pies from various ovens at various temps. The BEST breads and pizzas are not about temperature solely but rather about gluten balance, fermentation balance, and balanced with the right baking temperature for that dough. That's it! simple as that! Anyways, sorry to get off topic. Williard PM sent. Chau
Back when we started the 2stone (on this forum) we did a bunch of drawings and gave away some ovens. I had fun and some of you got free pizza grills.I would like to continue the tradition with a little twist. Instead of having a drawing, draw or sketch a black and white design of a dressed up "2stone fire brick kit" It can include a built inn wood box and prep table. Any material you choose....brick, stone etc. etc. Take a picture of it with your phone or whatever (it could be computer generated, or it can be just plain crude!) and post it on this thread. Help me figure out a fair way to judge it, (like nominating some judges from the forum) and the winner will get a free $600+ WF 2stone kit. (US continent and Canada shipping allowance $40.00) -wg

Hey Vermonter's I am looking to start a paintball team in the Rutland area. My name is Scott, I am 25 years old and love the sport! I play woodsball and looking to get into speedball. I have plenty of gear (enough for 6 other people to play) if they dont already own gear. This would be a great opportunity to play some paintball and meet some new people. I just moved to the area not too long ago and haven't found anybody locally that wants in... Let me know if you are at all interested! Hope to hear from you all soon,
-Scott (Vermont Woods)
I am looking to form a team :)

Skip to comments.Marion Barry criticizes hospitals for hiring Filipina nurses
Posted on 04/24/2012 11:38:01 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Ward 8 Councilman Marion Barry made comments Monday about Filipina nurses who work in District hospitals, just weeks after Barry told his supporters that Asian businesses "ought to go."
At a hearing, Barry told the president and board members of the University of the District of Columbia that the school should be supplying D.C. residents to serve in the "lucrative" posts of nurses and teachers.
But that was not the case, Barry said.
"In fact, it's so bad, that if you go to the hospital now, you find a number of immigrants who are nurses, particularly from the Philippines," Barry said. "And no offense, but let's grow our own teachers, let's grow our own nurses -- and so that we don't have to be scrounging around in our community clinics and other kinds of places -- having to hire people from somewhere else."
Barry did not respond to phone calls on Monday evening, and his voicemail inbox was full and not accepting messages.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
But in order to do that they have to go to school and learn math and science- and that would be "actin' white"
can't be havin' that
So, Marion, do you know of another demographic that is qualified and willing to do the work?
Yes, TWO qualifications above - qualified AND willing. Not affirmative actioned in and surly.
They want Obamah Stash!
Message to the former Mayor:Hey,Crackhead,there's a serious shortage of nurses in this country so,basically,it's either Filipino nurses or no nurses at all.
Hey, Marion moron: fire-up that crack pipe and chill with the racism, you ho'-lovin' a-hole creep.
The Filipina Bitch set him up.
If anyone has a photo of Michelle Malkin dressed in a "Nurse's outfit". Please, for the love of God....POST IT!!
These people are so intellectually deficient as to give morons an advantage.
One thing is for certain: Marion Barry truly reflects the values, attitudes and criminal history of his constituents. There is no doubt about that. I hope he accomplishes everything he hopes for for his Ward: black-only-run and staffed hospitals, black-only-owned and operated stores, scaled back MPD presence, and a rock in every pot.
We have our own "Marion Barry" here in Norfolk, VA. His name is Paul Riddick. He's recently been under investigation for failure to pay taxes (I think employees' withholding) for a number of years. He's one big crook, but his Ward keeps reelecting him.
Looks like the Asian businessmen are not in the habit of"contributing" to Barrys "campaign" funds.
drug-addled no-account.
D.C. deserves this clown.
Marion Barry better watch his health ,nurses can think up some evil things LOL
That MF Barry will be throwing a conniption fit when he hears about LuLu Campbell of Macon Georgia.
FTA "...said Campbell, her Filipino accent thick even after living the past 40 years in the United States. I was looking for my phone.
Long article but every line is a gem.
Read more here: http://www.macon.com/2012/04/23/2000577/i-carry-a-gun-all-the-time-says.html#storylink=cpy
That was the good news...the bad news is it looks like the local Amish are loading up.
nurses can think up some evil things LOL
He better not ever be hospitalized - he'll be sitting on a bed pan 24/7:-)
Diversitah! is a one-way street.
hmm, I have heard that the philippino nurses are paid less and only get 6 months of training in their homeland.
they make less money the hosptials don't want to pay American nurses what they are worth, because they want to build that new non profit wing.
Excellent article. Pity she missed the other perp.
Years ago, I worked for a background screening company. Students, who were enrolled in a community college program to get a degree in a nursing program, were required at some point to pay for a background screening. I overheard some phone calls where the students were informed that having a felony conviction disqualified them from ever getting a job in the medical field. I could hear their screaming and crying and it was heartbreaking that they finally were getting their life in order and crimes from their past caught up with them. I remember one girl was pleading and sobbing, "I paid my dues" and was firmly told, "I am sorry". With these calls and others for similar jobs, there was a lot of cursing from the students or prospective employees, with many speaking ebonics.
Maybe that accounts for the influx of Filipino nurses who QUALIFY for the positions.
I wish people like this would sign a legally binding form saying "if I am seriously ill, I only want to be treated by medical personnel who were chosen for their field because of affirmative action."
By the way, a Filipina nurse saved my life once.
"And what's the deal with the white chocolate in Zero Candy Bars?
Why isn't there enough dark chocolate for Zero Candy Bars in Ward Eight?
This racist mentality against the voters of Ward Eight forcing them to eat white chocolate must stop.
I blame the Jews, Mormons and all the sisters named Noxema. And I hate Miracle whip too!" -Marion Barry.
Tell 'your people' to stay their lazy butts in school, throw down the crack pipes and malt liquor bottles, get jobs, go to college and become nurses and teachers.......and stop voting for slave master dems..............
Just the fact that he noticed and brought it up means he's looking at skin, not content of character......can you imagine the explosion of negative media coverage had a white Republican made such a statement?...........
Sip Sip Boohtoh
Sip Sip Boohtoh
In some ways, you have to be refreshed by this. Here you have a politician who makes no bones about the fact that he wants a racial spoils system. Blacks are in charge so hire blacks and keep the whites, Latinos and Asians out. Its stupid and biggoted. Marion Barry is a low-rent, underhanded, corrupt fool. But its better than having to listen to the moralizing that would justify this as anything other than a racial spoils system.
the district should never have autonomy, free from Congressional oversight if they keep electing anyone with the last name Barry or having any relation to Marion Barry.
Until they can prove that they can be responsible adults, the district residents will be treated like the dependent children they are.
I had the same thought. Do you think Marion Berry will follow up with the idea that education can be a 'black thing', and kids really ought to stay in school? To do that, though, he'll have to tell the guys to get out of gangs, and stay off drugs. Then he'd have to tell the girls that they ought to tell the guys NO, so they won't get pregnant at 14 and 15, and consign themselves and their children to a life of poverty.
Actually nurses have been being replaced by 'guest workers' for the same reason as high techies - cheap labor. Nursing is another field that has been labeled 'jobs americans can't / won't do'.
Hospitals have been crying labor shortage while firing experienced, proven US nurses, and refusing to hire new grads because they are not experienced. This is a great scam - cry shortage, get people to go into debt for a college education and hire cheap labor from overseas.
You are dead on. Only ilk like Marion Barry fails to see the problem with reelecting him.
Where is the clip of the little boy that screams "That's racist"? Perfect in this situation.
Absolutely! That would have been unfair also. We've been putting up with that crap for 50 years.
In his desperation, Newt pulled the phony "I'm so offended!" card multiple times recently and revealed that he's a total hack. Serious conservatives are better than that.

Ruger Is Missing Have You Seen Her? (Update...Happy Ending...Ruger was returned)
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/14/2017 07:53 PM
Angels Camp, CA...From a viewer..."We are currently on vacation and we're boarding our dog at The pet Bath House in Angels camp. She jumped the fence and has been missing since 10:30am this morning. I was hoping you could post something if found to please take her back to the kennel. She is a boxer and her name is Ruger. My number is 209 768 3931." Update...(Ruger has been located safe and sound. A good hearted person collected her and kept her safe . Calaveras County Animal Services played an important part in helping out. In all fairness to the kennel owners, they did everything they could in recovering the escaped dog. As it turns out, Ruger can scale most fences and make good her escape better than most ordinary dogs when given the slightest opportunity. Boxers are known "escape artists".
A number of people participated in various ways in this effort for a happy ending.
Ruger is now accounted for. Thanks to all concerned.....")

Washington, DC...This week, I traveled to Chicago to deliver my final farewell address to the nation, following in the tradition of Presidents before me. It was an opportunity to say thank you. Whether we've seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people – in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant military outposts – are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.

Patient Comfort Is Goal For Diagnostic Imaging Team At Mark Twain Medical Center
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/13/2017 07:52 PM
San Andreas, CA...The Diagnostic Imaging team at Mark Twain Medical Center knows their services can be scary. That's why they concentrate as much on patient service skills as they do on state-of-the art equipment. Imaging Services Director Rick Reed explains, "We understand that our tests can create some anxious situations for patients. The equipment can be intimidating, so it's important we help patients understand the process and make the experience as pleasant as possible. We emphasize these tests are a critical first step in their treatment." The department provides a wide range of services and averages some 2,500 tests a month. On-site that includes general X-ray, CT scan, nuclear medicine, ultra sound, mammography, and MRI; plus a mobile PET CT that visits MTMC every other week.
