There & Back Again...!
... away. Capturing it throughout this blog has been a highlight in itself for us. We will never be the same, and never want to forget this blessed time we had, for the people we met, and the hearts that touched ours for good. Namaste Asia and India. We sure fell in love with you. Until we meet again...
The End
Off to Europe
Well, and bags packed, suitcases lugged down 3 flights of stairs and then a wait for our Shuttle to take us to New Jersey, Newark International Airport, and our flight to Amsterdam.
Arrived at the Airport but had to wait 5 hours before we could check in the luggage, the Airline failed to tell us that they did not open a checkin desk until ...
Lady Liberty
... of it from the fog), through Soho, Chinatown and across the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn.
Our tour guide wasn't very good. He was pretty boring. Nobody wanted to tip him! The tour went for 1.5 hours and it got pretty cold up on the top deck. Thankfully no rain, just a very light sprinkle! The Views of the Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn were cool with the Brooklyn bridge visible too. Sadly it wasn't overly dark at this time and was foggy ...
Sunday Day 3
... their arms. I wonder if they got to sleep on the battleship or the submarine? Very cool night out. A large ship was docked at the cruise terminal, so big it was hard to tell where the ship ended and the terminal started. It had some sort of a water park/playground on top, complete with slides. Got some photos and headed back up 47th St. Fortunately, the Sullivan St Bakery was open and I bought a vanilla creme bomboloni to keep me going until ...
Bye bye NYC
Off to an early start this morning to make sure we had enough time to get our laundry done!! We walked over to the laundromat and spent the morning sitting watching and waiting. By the time it was done it was time to check out of the hotel and head to my bus stop that would take me to my hotel for the night. After a bit of confusion ...

- Boston, Massachusetts - Hood Milk Bottle
The 40-ft Milk Bottle is only half of what it used to be -- at least for now. The wooden building has temporarily been disassembled as they repair the structure. A new foundation has been poured and the base of the bottle, which houses the concession stand has yet to be built. Unless they are now marketing it as "Half and Half" milk, this is all you will see until it is finished late in the fall of 2006.[Joe Tamony, 08/07/2006]
Boston Children's Museum
- Address:
- 300 Congress St., Boston, MA
- Directions:
- At the Boston Children's Museum. I-93 exit 20. Follow signs to I-90E -- in the tunnel take exit 25 -- then follow the signs to "South Boston." At end of the ramp get into the left lane and turn left onto Congress St. Bottle is between the museum and the water.
- RA Rates:
- Worth a Detour
At the Wharf in Boston on the Plaza by the Childrens Museum in a Giant Hood Milk Bottle. The Milk Bottle is 40 feet high and made entirely of wood. There is large text on the bottle: "It's Hoods be Good." Currently the Bottle serves as a concessionaire selling hot dogs, ice cream and soda.[Howard Schoenfeld, 10/10/2004]
Mother "Mary" Goose is buried at the Granary Burial Ground in Boston.[Kirsten, 11/15/2013]
Always a bit confusing: Mary Goose was the first wife of Isaac Goose; after she died, he married Elizabeth Foster (Goose), and they had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Thomas Fleet, who wrote "Mother Goose's Melodies for Children" published in 1719. But Mary Goose's cool old Angel of Death tombstone is the Mother Goose tourist magnet.
Granary Burial Ground
- Address:
- Tremont Street, Boston, MA
- Directions:
- Granary Burial Ground, just east of Boston Common and Park St. along Tremont St.
- Hours:
- Dusk till dawn
- Boston, Massachusetts - Mother Goose's Gravesite
Some believe this to be the grave of the original Mother Goose. It is unclear whether or not her body is buried under this stone or elsewhere in the cemetery.[Alisa Johnson, 11/29/2004]
- Boston, Massachusetts - Hub of the Solar System
You have noted the late-comer, now defunct and much lamented Filenes as the Hub of the Universe.
As a long-time Bostonian, I think this entry should be revised or at least amended to reflect the history of the phrase. Yes, Boston is the "Hub of the Universe," but the origin is Oliver Wendell Holmes in his 1858 "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" stating "[the] Boston State House is the hub of the Solar System. You couldn't pry that out of a Boston man if you had the tire of all creation straightened out for a crowbar." So the axis of the hub of the Universe sticks vertically out of the gilded dome of our Bulfinch State House. And Holmes is the senior one, the doctor poet, not junior, the lawyer justice.[D. Roger Howlett, 02/05/2011]

Looking for 2004 or newer STI for Photo Shoot, preferrably White
I'm a photographer in Sacramento and I'd like to do a photo shoot of a 2004 or newer WRX STI, preferably a white one. I'm a young photographer, still building my portfolio, but my work is very high quality and professional. If anyone is interested, please contact me with a picture of your vehicle.
The shot I have in mind is an outdoor night shot, with a large overseas shipping container in the background (very industrial looking). The location I'd like to use if I can get permission is at a studio I used to work for, which has an 8' fence around the parking lot, so it would be very secure (for both your vehicle and my equipment).
I'm a college student and can't really afford to pay (at least not very much), but I could give you copies of the final images, which should be very cool.
If interested please contact me. I hope this doesn't sound bootleg or anything, it's really not. I can show samples of my work and my website so you know I'm legit, but this will be my first time photographing a car.

.... Pain!!!!
Been a long off season, Gmen had a great run after 2007 Superbowl and then fizzled at the end, don't see that happening this year, come out of the gate with a 27 - 10 victory, nothing exiciting, just good offense that will score in the upper 20's all year and solid defense. Wake up call for the Cowboys
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
I recently had a dream about this game and we were getting our butts kicked by the cowboys, I hope that doesn't mean anything.
Giants 27- Cowgirls 23 We will be sweating and biting our nails during this game but I think G-men come out top and Romo gets put on the ground 4 times.
34-21 Giants as they set to prove everyone wrong and that last year wasn't a fluke.

Morristown, NJ 07960, United States
(973) 644-4943

Favorite Restaurants:
Rocco's Tuscany Bar & Grill30 Cook Plaza

Favorite Restaurants:
Sushi Lounge12 Schuyler Place
Morristown, NJ, United States
(973) 539-1135
"Only in New Jersey...a sushi restaurant with a DJ. Amid its club-like atmosphere, Sushi Lounge surprised us with some incredible food. Even Jen, a sushi purist, can't get enough of Ron's favorite, the cooked sea bass roll. Get there on the early side to enjoy some great food while avoiding the thump-thump (and the lines)."

"Morristown's Community Theatre attracts both new and well-known acts. While the schedule for November won't be available until about mid-summer, keep your eye on the calendar for an act you don't want to miss while you're here."

GameDay: Could Giants Postseason Pitching Be Better Than 2010, 2014?
Slumping Giants Return Home To Face Talented Nationals SquadThe San Francisco Giants' slump is largely due to the struggles of their starting pitchers, and Ryan Vogelsong may need to turn things around quickly before he loses his spot in the rotation.
KCBS Sports Fans: The Winning A's - Who Are These Guys?The A's are the hottest team in baseball since the All-Star break and are currently holding an AL wild card slot. And yes, this is the same team I wrote about three months ago when they were threatening an all-time record for offensive futility.
Daily Madden: Arguing The All-StarsMajor League Baseball takes its annual mid-summer break for the All-Star game Tuesday night in Kansas City. And, well ahead of the first pitch, there was plenty of chatter about who would take the mound.
A's Agree On 1-Year Deal For Former Pitching Nemesis Bartolo ColonThe Oakland Athletics and free agent right-hander Bartolo Colon have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.
A's, Braden Agree On 1-Year Deal For $3.35 MillionThe Oakland Athletics have agreed to a $3.35 million, one-year contract with left-hander Dallas Braden.
A's Strong Pitching Offset By Weak OffenseIn what was supposed to be a season with improved offense, the gap between pitching and hitting has never seemed wider.
KCBS Sports Fans: A's, Giants In Arms RaceIt's only mid-May, but this Bay Area baseball season is shaping up to be something special for folks who enjoy good pitching.
Giants' Affeldt Looks To Return To Form After Tough Year
Jeff Suppan Looking For Fresh Start With SF GiantsJeff Suppan hopes to win a job on the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
KCBS Sports Fans: The Giants' Right-Handed Phoenix Phoenix is not just a city in Arizona. It's also the mythological bird that arises from its own ashes, , and there could be one in the Giants bullpen this year.
As Giants Celebrate, Pitching Leads To Talk Of Repeat The Giants are on top again, securing their first World Series crown since the franchise moved West in 1958. The first question that always comes up afterward: Can they do it again?

Look good,
feel good, work good. We've all heard some variation of this phrase at some
point in our life and in a sense, there is a lot of truth to it. Now I'm not
saying if you're wearing a brand new tie you will automatically become a
legendary salesperson and seal the deal with that client you've been battling
for the past year, but it may give you a boost towards the right direction.
The human
psyche is a funny thing and something as simple as looking good can do a lot
for your mindset. This is why you see professional athletes put so much effort
into their uniforms and accessories. This same concept works the same in an
office format as well. Those who look and feel their absolute best have their
act together and can tackle even the most vigorous tasks.
Here at IDville, we're in the business of keeping proffesionals looking fresh whether they're rocking a brand new lanyard or sporting a sleek and stylish ID badge holder. All cheesy adjectives aside, accessorizing is a fun
and easy way to change up your daily look and showoff your unique personality.
Being able to do this does a lot for your mindset which is important for
overall well-being. Anytime you can express your personality in the work-place
is not only a win for you, but a win for your boss. Now who doesn't love a
happy boss?
So go out
there and update your plain and boring badge holder, design your organization a
lanyard that represents who you are, and find a badge reel that will put your
old one to shame. Who knows, maybe all of this accessorizing will land you that
promotion. Of course we'll leave that one for your boss.

At a conference, mixer or other event with a large group of people, a name badge is much more professional then a sticky, and is much easier for others to read. And remember, wearing your logo is a form of branding!
Another benefit is helping other people remember who they met. Hearing and seeing your name and company multiplies the chances others will remember you. So maximize your networking with a simple name badge!
Our ID Maker Software is user-friendly and easy to use. It gives you the tools you need to design and print ID cards. Follow these guidelines for what information to include on your name badge. Remember to keep it simple for the customer. Only give them the information they need.
What about industry credentials or marketing tag lines? I wouldn't recommend adding anything else. Keep it simple.
Your name tag should serve as your introduction and usually nothing more. For people to remember your name and company, you need to make them stand out. With other information on your badge, your name and company runs the risk of getting lost in the jumble. People glance at a name badge, not read it like a book.
Once you've created your ideal name badge, the next step is choosing a form of backing. The backing refers to how the badge will attach to your clothing.
We offer many different options for name badge attachments:
When one of your main goals is networking, I would recommend either a badge holder or a badge clip. More specifically, I would recommend our framed badge holders or our Adhesive Magnetic ID Attachment.
Framed badge holders are useful for networking because they can make your ID badge stand out. Try matching the color of your frame to a color in your logo or the text of your name. You can even use different color frames to identify different groups of people.
Adhesive Magnetic ID Attachments are great tools for networking, because they are hidden, keeping the customer from distraction. A lot of people choose magnets, because they're quick and easy to put on and don't leave little holes. However, if you have a pace maker or other type of electronic device within your chest cavity, you should not use a magnet without your doctors permission as a magnet may interfere or stop your medical device from working.
Another tactic to use while networking at large events is creating custom lanyards that will unify your brand. Our full meeting and event line is a great tool for everything meeting and event! An example is IDville's sponsorship of Tulip Time in Holland, MI. IDville joined Tulip Time as an Event Identification sponsor. Jennifer Reeves, IDville's sales manager said, "We had an opportunity to help Tulip Time unify their volunteer identification, while branding the organization at the same time. By sponsoring this event, we were able to provide them with an ID Maker printer system, lanyards, and other accessories to help them easily identify the over 3,000 volunteers that help make this annual event a success." Having unified identification for all volunteers and staff of this event made networking simple and memorable!
Identification is key to networking but is often overlooked. Follow these simple tips and watch your network grow exponentially! It's not about what you know, it's about who knows you!

It's about that time again in West Michigan...Tulip Time! This year marks Holland, Michigan's 86th year of hosting the Tulip Time Festival taking place from May 2-9.
"The Holland Tulip Time Festival
invites the world to join the dance as we celebrate our Dutch heritage with a
festival showcasing our dynamic community and its spectacular tulips." The
Holland, Michigan area boasts nearly 4.5 million tulips, planted in City parks,
at public attractions, and along City streets. The tulips are currently in the process of
shooting up just in time for the festival!
The tulips that bloom are only part of the attraction, as there are also national entertainment acts,
events & activities
for all ages, Dutch Dance
performances, and some of the largest parades in Michigan!
Come see for yourself why Readers Digest has named The Holland Tulip Time
Festival the "Best Small Town Festival in America"!
This year, IDville has the pleasure
of being on of Tulip Time's sponsors, and we're really excited about the
opportunity! Our IDville Sales Manager and Holland native, Jennifer Reeves, has
a few words to share about IDville's Tulip Time sponsorship.
Jen is a tulip enthusiast and loves
beaching it on the weekends at Holland State Park. Her favorite tulip time
activity is watching the Klompen dancers perform on 8th Street – "Hundreds of
dancers in the middle of the street performing in unison, while wearing (and
high kicking) in wooden shoes? It's a sight to be seen!"
Can you tell our readers a little
bit about IDville's role in Tulip Time 2015?
Jen: IDville joined Tulip Time as an
Event Identification sponsor. We have an opportunity to help Tulip Time unify
their volunteer identification, while branding the organization at the same
By sponsoring this event, we were able to provide them with an ID Maker printer
system, lanyards,
and other accessories to
help them easily identify the over 3,000 volunteers that help make this annual event
a success.
Jen: As a volunteer for Tulip Time,
I've witnessed first-hand local businesses and organization come together to
promote our community while fostering and growing business relationships. Our brand is a national brand, as is Tulip Time, which is one reason why this makes it a perfect fit.
In the past, Tulip Time used a
variety of different formats to identify their volunteers, staff and board members.
This year, the volunteers will be identified easily with their unified lanyards
and badges. With over 400,000 visitors, it's critical to have volunteers easily
identifiable with the appropriate credentials to ensure the safety and security
of all who visit. Our meeting and event
products were a perfect fit!
Gwen Auwerda, the executive director
of Tulip Time said, "Wow! Love all of it, easy to use. The custom lanyards
(shown to the right) are very classy! Thanks a million, this raised the bar for
us for sure!"
What is your favorite Tulip Time
Jen: My first Tulip Time living in
Holland, I volunteered to walk along the float my employer has entered into the
parade. It wasn't revealed to me until much later, that I would be expected to
wear wooden shoes. Seven pairs of socks, and two miles later, I was smiling
from the experience and ready for the next parade!
What is your favorite part about
living in Holland?
Jen: Hands down, being so close to
the beach. In the summer, I call Holland State Park my second home. In addition
to the beach, we have one of the best downtown districts where it's easy to
grab a bite, shop or just stroll – even in the winter, thanks to our heat melt
system. Finally, I love the people. Great friends, neighbors, business
associates. To me, Holland is a place where that small town community feel is
alive and well.
Come find us at the event and say hello, we're excited to meet you and would
love to help you meet any identification needs you may have! Visit our web at http://www.idville.com/home.do or give us a call

The other day I was grabbing lunch and this small whiteboard caught my eye. I had to snap a picture to show you all and hopefully spark some creativity!
Simple ideas like this example are a great way to get your brand out there! Not only did this promotion benefit both the Insurance Company and the restaurant, but it also gave the Insurance company publicity to every customer that came into the restaurant that day. What a great way to create relationships in your community…and it all started with an employee badge.

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN....Via Andrew Sullivan, I see that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not been caught up in Obama fever:
The vituperative Iranian president, delivering his first public address since President Barack Obama's inauguration last week and Obama's own overture to the Muslim world this week, suggested today that the "change'' which Obama promised in his campaign means that the new American leader must apologize for U.S. "crimes" against Iran, including American support for the 1953 coup in Tehran and the backing of Iraq during the war between Iraq and Iran.
So, um, I guess this means Obama won't be making that big speech of his from Tehran, like I wanted. Cairo, anybody?
Stephanie MencimerJan. 28, 2009 12:35 PM
A few months ago, we offered up a meager plea to the Obama family that they consider sending their kids to a DC public school. They ignored us and enrolled Sasha and Malia at the tony Sidwell Friends in upper Northwest DC, which supporters contended offered superior safety and a Quaker education. Today, the Obamas discovered one of the drawbacks of their choice.
Washington awoke this morning encrusted in ice after the city's first big winter storm. Sidwell shut down for the day, leaving Sasha and Malia stuck at home. The DC public schools, meanwhile, merely opened a little late. (They were also open as usual yesterday when virtually every suburban school district shut down because of a few snow flurries.) The school closing prompted Obama to offer an unsolicited comment to the press this morning about Washington famous weather wimpiness. He though his kids' school closing was a bit extreme:
"Because of what? Because of some ice?" Obama said to laughter around the table. He said Sasha, his 7-year-old, pointed out that in Chicago, not only is school never canceled for snow, "you'd go outside for recess. You wouldn't even stay indoors." He concluded by saying: "We're going to have to apply some flinty Chicago toughness to this town. I'm saying that when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things."
Hopefully someone will point out to the president that the city's public schools were showing plenty of flint this morning. It was only Washington's elite who were afraid of a little ice.

SCHWARZMAN AT DAVOS....Via Felix Salmon, Andrew Ross Sorkin is pretty clearly aghast at Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman's antics at Davos:
In fact, Mr. Schwarzman is already making a splash. At a discussion panel on Wednesday, hopped off his stool during a debate moderated by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, grabbed the microphone, and boldly called for what private equity loves: More leverage!
Mr. Schwarzman argued that banks should be allowed lower capital ratios, freeing money normally laid away against losses for new lending. He also called for the end of accounting rules that forced lower and lower asset valuations. And, oh yes, the government should guarantee securitizations to help the market get moving.

He also called for the end of accounting rules that forced lower and lower asset valuations. And, oh yes, the government should guarantee securitizations to help the market get moving.
But hold on a second. I've heard plenty of sensible people suggest pretty much the exact same things: capital ratios that ease up during recessions and tighten when times are good; an end to (or modification of) mark-to-market accounting rules, which force huge fire-sale asset writedowns in illiquid markets; and government backstopping of bank obligations, which was a big part of the Swedish response to their banking crisis in the 90s.
I'm not saying I agree with any or all of these proposals, but it's not as if this stuff comes from the gamma quadrant. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Schwarzman (Daniel Gross has a quick rundown here), but this particular proposition doesn't strike me as being as cringeworthy as it's being made out to be.

GAS TAXES AND CLIMATE CHANGE....The Washington Post editorializes today about Barack Obama's recent actions to increase fuel economy standards. They appreciate the sentiment, but:
Unfortunately, the regulatory action that Mr. Obama set in motion is not the best, or even the second-best, approach to curbing climate change. It risks creating conflicting standards across the country and further stressing the domestic auto industry while accomplishing less than could be achieved with a simple tax increase on gasoline.
This is just flatly ignorant. The environmental policy community almost unanimously supports carbon pricing, including measures like increasing the gasoline tax, but I don't think you'd find a serious analyst in the country who thinks that a price increase at the pump is more effective at reducing gasoline use and GHG emissions than an increase in mileage standards. It would probably take a tax of three or four dollars a gallon to have the same effect on emissions as an increase in CAFE standards to 35 mpg, and we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon.
The Post editorial page needs to think before they write. Carbon pricing is an important backbone for any climate change policy, but there are lots and lots of places where ordinary regulation is cheaper, faster, and far more effective than a tax, and increasing auto mileage standards is one of them. We need them both, and Obama did the right thing here.

MIRROR, MIRROR....Carbon tax or cap-and-trade? Over at Gristmill, David Roberts writes that he's had a few off-the-record conversations in DC lately and has some blunt news for progressive advocates of a carbon tax:
The 111th U.S. Congress is not going to pass a carbon tax. Calls for a carbon tax, to the extent they have any effect, will complicate and possibly derail passage of carbon legislation.
It's possible that a carbon tax (and/or cap-and-dividend) bill will be introduced. One or both might even make it to a full vote, though I doubt it. But they won't pass. If you want carbon pricing out of this Congress, cap-and-trade is what you're getting. It follows that your energies are best spent ensuring that cap-and-trade legislation is as strong as possible.
Them's the facts.

Them's the facts.
I'm inclined to agree. Aside from technical issues, an awful lot of the pro-tax argument revolves around the political difficulty of getting a "clean" cap-and-trade bill. But while this is absolutely a reasonable concern (see Gar Lipow's comment to David's post for more), it's every bit as much a concern for a carbon tax bill. In fact, my guess is that it's more of a concern for a tax bill. After all, if there's anything Congress knows how to do after being in business for two centuries, it's how to muck up tax legislation for the benefit of favored industry groups.
Beyond that, though, the political picture is a little muddier. I think David is basically right: no matter what they say, conservatives are dead set against a carbon tax. But there's a wild card here. As Jonathan Adler points out, last year's decision in Massachusetts v. EPA requires the EPA to start regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. So if nothing passes this year, that's the default machinery that will be brought to bear:
This creates an interesting conundrum for those (like me) who think regulating greenhouse gases under the existing Clean Air Act would be a colossal mistake....I'd gladly take a revenue-neutral carbon tax in exchange for exempting greenhouse gases from the Clean Air Act. I suspect others may disagree. Yet what those who oppose a carbon tax (or cap-and-trade or whatever) need to recognize is that support for the status quo is support for regulating greenhouse gases under the existing Clean Air Act and I doubt that's an alternative many carbon tax or cap-and-trade opponents would find more agreeable.
Politically, I'm not sure how this will play out. One possibility is that once tax-phobic conservatives finally figure this out they'll (reluctantly) jump on the cap-and-trade bandwagon, figuring that its market-based mechanism is a lesser evil than letting the EPA run wild. Alternatively, they might decide that taxes aren't as bad as either the Clean Air Act or a bureaucratic cap-and-trade program, and make common cause with progressive carbon tax advocates. Or they might stick their heads in the sand and pretend that the whole thing will go away if they just refuse to support anything.
I'm not sure, though I'd guess the majority will stick to their anti-tax ways and eventually accept Door #1 if there's a strong enough push for cap-and-trade. And there's one other thing to add to the mix: If (like me) you think that Obama takes his campaign pledges seriously, then sometime this year he's going to invest a huge chunk of political capital in getting a clean cap-and-trade bill passed. After all, that's what he said he'd do. If that happens, and progressives get into a circular firing squad with themselves over it, then it means that Ann Coulter is right and liberals are idiots. Just a little something to keep in mind.
POSTSCRIPT: Just for the record, here's the nickel argument for cap-and-trade vs. a carbon tax: (1) It sets firm limits on GHG emissions, (2) Europe is already committed to it, (3) the machinery was tested during the 90s and worked well to reduce acid rain, (4) the public will view a cap more favorably than a punitive "make 'em pay!" tax, (5) it's politically more palatable than a tax, (6) Barack Obama supports it.
POSTSCRIPT 2: By request, here's the nickel argument in favor of a carbon tax: (1) a tax is economically more efficient than cap-and-trade (details here), (2) it requires much less bureaucracy, (3) it can be implemented more quickly, (4) it sets a predictable price for carbon, which encourages investment in green technology, (5) it's easier to harmonize across borders under current trade agreements.
There are also two other arguments that are widespread: (1) taxes are more transparent and less open to manipulation by special interests, and (2) taxes can be made non-regressive via rebates and dividend payment schemes. Neither of these arguments really holds water, though. Taxes are obviously open to enormous amounts of manipulation, and cap-and-trade can rebate revenues back to taxpayers the same way a tax can. On both of these scores, the two approaches are a wash.

Okay, SNL, see, you've had so much trouble trying to get your Obama impersonation off the ground, and various editorial cartoonists, you seem to revert to jaw-dropping racial caricatures in place of humor, but Mad Magazine, I congratulate you, since this here is pretty funny. Mad's latest cover features our fresh president losing it in his "First 100 Minutes," smoking five cigarettes at once, his desk covered in scary newspaper headlines and top-secret files, a bottle of Pepto dripping onto a graph of the rising national debt. See, this is my theory for Obama comedy ("Obamedy"?), you have to go for the opposite, unlike with Bush where you just had to basically repeat what he said. Exaggerating the "cool," like that little SNL sketch from December, can only take you so far, but make Obama secretly neurotic and you've got comedy gold.
Check out a larger version of the Mad cover and the aforementioned SNL sketch after the jump.

An opposition party has to oppose someone, right?
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama held separate meetings with GOP leaders in the House and Senate to discuss the stimulus bill moving through Congress. Afterward, the Republicans talked very nicely about the new president, saying that they appreciated that Obama was reaching out and listening to them. During the meetings, several of the Republicans noted that they welcomed "the tone that [Obama] had brought to Washington" and his "willingness to seek their views," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. In fact, Gibbs added, Representative Mike Pence, a leading conservative from Indiana, ended the House-side meeting by declaring that the door to the Republican House conference would always be open to Obama.
As a matter or realpolitik, the Republicans had little choice but to be darn gracious toward Obama. The president's early approval ratings are stratospheric. And with the economic crash continuing (if not accelerating, given this week's job loss numbers), a majority of Americans are rooting for the president, hoping whatever he tries to do about the economy will succeed. On Monday afternoon, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent out an email touting a poll noting that 66 percent of Americans support the economic stimulus package put together by the Democrats in the House and supported by Obama. It would be foolish--except for Republicans from the most Limbaugh-loving areas of the nation--to stand in Obama's way. And, no small matter, the GOPers don't have the votes--particularly in the House--to stop him and the Democrats.
But can the Republicans simply cave? They have raised a fuss about certain portions of the stimulus package, labeling some provisions pork and calling for more tax cuts. Their complaints about a provision that would extend birth control coverage under Medicaid did lead Obama to ask the House Dems to jettison this piece of package. (And jettisoned it was.) But the Republicans have not gone after Obama.
Consider this statement released by House Republican Whip Eric Cantor after the meeting with Obama:

Not according to the Pentagon and The Nation is fired up about it:
"Every badge hunter and his brother will have this distinguished award in their sights," Army Captain Matthew Nichols wrote in a letter to the editor of Stars and Stripes last spring, when the specter of thousands of emotionally wounded teenaged and twentysomething veterans became an issue too pressing to ignore. Joe Palagyi, national adjutant of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, equated psychological trauma to "almost getting wounded." In other words, if a soldier's postwar life is emotionally shattered directly because of his service to his or her country, then it's their own damn unsoldierly fault; any heroism or quick thinking that led to one's almost—as opposed to actually—getting wounded is not triumphant but rather a gateway to mockery.
Is it just me, or is this one a toughie?
We've all seen enough movies to know that lots of Purple Heart winners took a bullet in the bum under less than glorious, non-dangerous circumstances. Still, there was always the notion that one had to have shed some blood somewhere in theatre to win such an honor, without looking closely at how that blood got spilled. I'm not as disgusted as The Nation. Maybe I will be, but I'm not there yet.
This is one of those issues you never see coming and kinda wish had never come up. I wonder how the question arose; I can't see lots of GIs demanding the PH for their PTSD.
I'm stumped. And I can't stop thinking about it. According to the National Purple Heart Hall of Fame one earns this commendation:

Forbes has done a round-up of 25 writers, bloggers, and TV personalities it considers to be the elite of the liberal media elite, and our own Kevin Drum made the cut. He clocks in at #23, just ahead of Michael Pollan and Kurt Andersen, just behind Ezra Klein. Like all lists, it is fun to argue with who made the cut, and who fell where. But even more entertaining is how the assemblersForbes deputy editor Elisabeth Eaves, reporter Hana R. Alberts, and Tunku Varadarajan, Forbes columnist/Opinions editor and a professor at the Stern Business School at New York University and research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, who "canvassed the views of more than 100 academics, politicians and journalists"defined "liberal":
Broadly, a "liberal' subscribes to some or all of the following: progressive income taxation; universal health care of some kind; opposition to the war in Iraq, and a certain queasiness about the war on terror; an instinctive preference for international diplomacy; the right to gay marriage; a woman's right to an abortion; environmentalism in some Kyoto Protocol-friendly form; and a rejection of the McCain-Palin ticket.
I guess that's as workable a definition as any.

I realize this open for debate, but I'd like to see some numbers from successful queen breeders on how many queens they can catch per day using mini-mating nucs.
48 at 10 minutes per queen? 96 at 5 minutes per? Does it take more or less time on average to find the queen?
How much time does marking/clipping slow you down?
Obviously, this will vary from person to person, but I'm assuming that you will have a rough time per queen to know when you need to hire more help.
i.e. one man can catch 96 queens in a 8 hour day, but to raise any more. I'd need to hire another catcher, so I "should" increment my yards by 96 mating nucs....
Thanks in advance for any information.

Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Removal Program
For information on Inflow/Infiltration click on the link below:
Sav-R-Bay Website
During the fall of 2007, our staff undertook a project to locate and mark all of our system manholes in preparation for the aerial photography of our system. During this process, we found numerous system deficiencies or damage which needed attention. The most serious was within the downstream trunk sewer line running to Walcomet. The system manholes were the primary source of the leaks, however there were also leaking joints in the 36"sewer, which would need repair. This is a wetland area, so we were in contact with the County and DNR during the planning for these repairs and hired a contractor who was able to do most of the work during the winter when the ground was frozen. This project initiated our I/I removal program.
In July of 2008, Walcomet informed its customers that it would be embarking on a cooperative I/I removal program as required by their Wastewater Facilities Plan prepared in conjunction with the Treatment Plant expansion project. This plan commits Walcomet and those entities served by Walcomet to reduce the amount of clear water inflow into their systems so as to extend the life expectancy of the new plant upgrade. Flow information was presented which clearly showed that the Treatment Plant was receiving great quantities of unpolluted clear water. This costs the public money related to unnecessary volume charges and puts pressure and stress on the flow management elements of all of our systems. From the State and Federal perspective, the failure to correct these problems will greatly reduce the life expectancy of the new plant upgrade. Therefore the removal of this I/I is not an option. We have been asked to voluntarily take measures to reduce our system inflow and produce a plan for doing so. If satisfactory progress towards established I/I reduction goals are not met, then Walcomet will be forced to put us under order to comply. Associated with this could be large fines and the inability to plan and perform this work in coordination with our other responsibilities.
We have submitted the required plan to meet the Walcomet goals; however, we are also fixing problems as we find them. We have found major leaks in our collection system and they have either been repaired or repairs are planned.
With the summer 2008 heavy rains and very high ground water conditions, we have found many areas where sump pumps are directly connected to our sanitary system. All residents of the District have frequently received the following notice:
"No persons shall make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, area drains, including sump pumps, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which is connected directly to a sanitary sewer. Delavan Lake Sanitary District employees are permitted, in accordance with their Sewer User Ordinance and Section 200.11(3) Wisconsin Statutes, to enter all properties for inspection of the premises for any violations. If any of the above are found to be connected to the sanitary sewer system, the District will require the property owner to disconnect these facilities immediately at the owner's expense."
Although this notice has been sent out on a regular basis, the enforcement of the requirements has been intermittent. In many cases, the residents with these illegal connections had no other place for the water to go. It was their attempt to protect their property. In other cases, residents were pumping standing surface water into our system at the worst possible time and for this, there is no excuse.
With the heavy rainfall and high groundwater levels experienced during the summer and fall of 2008 (and actually going back to 2007), the effects of illegal sump pump connections has risen dramatically. The Town of Delavan has been doing various storm drainage projects and it is hopeful that once these projects are complete the improved drainage will help remedy the situtation. Unfortunately, many of these areas are low and the original drainage has been blocked as property values increased.
The District must enforce our ordinance (as well as Walcomet's ordinance, DNR and EPA regulations and the Department of Commerce Plumbing Code) while also recognizing that in many cases traditional solutions will not work. We have a responsibility to our ratepayers to remove this cost of draining private property from their bills. We have been and will have many discussions to find a reasonable, workable answer to this dilemma.
Repair of forcemain connection failure
May, 2009 Pipe Joint Repair Project
During our overall system televising a number of leaking pipe joints were identified. These leaks were prioritized based on impact to the system and repair work was scheduled. The following photos provide overview information about one process that was recently used to seal joint failures from the INSIDE of the pipe.
Photo 1 shows the actual leak prior to any work being done. This image is similar to what appeared on our original televising of this portion of the system and indicates a serious joint failure. The possible causes of this type of leak are many: tree roots, material failure, ground shifting or high ground water pressure, but whatever the cause this extraneous ground water must be removed from the system. We have found that the magnitude of the leaks vary with surface and groundwater fluctuations, however, this leak seems to have remained constant since it was originally identified.
Photo 2 shows the set up for one of the joint sealing processes. Each one of these set ups will vary depending upon how far the bad joint lies from the nearest manhole or access point. In most cases our staff work with the contractors as our familiarity with the system saves time and money. Much of this work is more art than technology and success often depends upon innovation and flexibility.
Photo 1 Photo 2
Photo 3 is a lateral view of the grout injection packer which will actually be sealing the joint. This packer includes inflatable end elements, the black rubber areas, which are inflated once the packer is centered on the failed joint. These pressurized rubber elements isolate the joint from the rest of the pipe and a grout mixture is extruded from the center section to seal the joint.
Photo 4 shows the packer being centered over the joint. By the way, the photos of the inside of the pipe are taken by directly photographing the monitor in the TV truck.

Photo 5 shows the packer right after the grout injection and deflation of the rubber elements.
Photo 6 is a shot of the monitor showing the finished grout injection and sealed joint.

Austin There has to be a really good reason to be out of bed before, say, noon during South by Southwest.
With showcases often stretching into the wee hours, sleep is key to keep from collapsing in a heap of wristbands and laminates as the fest grinds on. Nevertheless, after a late Wednesday night that turned into early Thursday morning, I found myself walking toward the W Hotel on just three hours' sleep, making my way upstairs to a brightly lit ballroom to watch KGSR's live broadcast. Having never sat in on one of these SXSW events (local public radio station KUTX also does one, from the Four Seasons), I figured it was worth the loss of precious shut-eye to see what the experience would be like.
And would you believe I didn't even need coffee to kickstart my day? The wide variety of sounds (and the shocking enthusiasm of the performers, given the hour) did a fine job of getting my third day off and running. Although some acts tended to be more subdued (although no less engaging), it was bands like Fitz and the Tantrums, Divine Fits and hometown hero Nakia who went full tilt, the earliness be damned. If you ever get the opportunity to attend one of these broadcasts, jump at the chance. It's a unique opportunity to see these acts in a slightly different setting.
Divine Fits
Michael Kiwanuka
Fitz and the Tantrums

Ivan & Alyosha
My bloodstream sufficiently flooded with caffeine, I struck out for another, off-the-beaten-path SXSW experience. (Speaking of recharging, Samsung has a unique promotion going this year: tweet #poweron to @samsungmobileUS, and a bike messenger will deliver a fully charged battery to festival attendees.) This one took me about 45 minutes south and west of the hive of activity that is downtown Austin, to the small town of Spicewood. There, I entered into a state of tranquility, as I entered the grounds of Willie Nelson's "Luck, Texas," and the second annual Heartbreaker's Banquet.
An exclusive, invite-only event with fashion elements, food trucks (a pair of Fort Worthians were on hand: Fred's Texas Cafe and Tim Love's Big Purple Truck) and a general sense of relaxation, the Banquet unfolded on two stages, one of which was set up in a chapel that holds roughly 50 people. It was, frankly, a lovely respite from all the chaos, and yet another unique setting in which to hear live music.
The Happen-Ins
Riley Downing and the Tumbleweeds
Samantha Crain
But, the idyll could not last, and it was back into the madness of sanctioned showcases. Fortunately, I began my third night with a one-two North Texas punch that left me dazed and thrilled. Fort Worth's the Longshots are one of the most impressive local acts I've seen in a while, ripping through one punk-stained rave-up after another. Likewise, Cleburne's Fungi Girls bashed out frenetic rock songs that pulled the room towards them like a magnet.
Elsewhere, British songbird Lianne La Havas was downright charming, and Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell displayed the easy chemistry found all over the pair's new LP, Old Yellow Moon. City & Colour's melodic rock was a fine appetizer for Tegan and Sara's sparkling synth-pop, taken from Heartthrob, one of the best albums I've heard this year. A long day -- and late night -- that was full of fresh ways to hear a variety of sounds.

Treasury officials cited for soliciting prostitutes, accepting gifts from bankers
posted at 3:21 pm on July 17, 2012 by Mary Katharine Ham
Meet the crew charged by Dodd-Frank with keeping us safe from the misconduct of bankers.
Recently released reports on the Treasury Department, first reported by The Hill, show the Inspector General found several employees had solicited prostitutes and accepted gifts from the banks they regulate. (Acronym breakdown: OIG = Office of the Inspector General, OTS = Office of Thrift Supervision, which has since been combined with OCC = Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.)
In 2010, an OTS employee "misused" government resources to solicit prostitutes on three separate occasions via Craigslist. While working at the OTS, investigators said, the government staffer "viewed websites offering erotic services on a weekly basis as well as communicating with and arranging meetings with women offering erotic services."
To be fair, Jake Tapper notes that the employee sent $100 via PayPal to one of his prospects, so it seems the Office of Thrift Supervision did get quite a deal.
That case was referred to D.C. authorities but they declined to prosecute absent "aggravating" considerations, such as involvement of underaged girls. That employee has retired from government service. I wonder if we're paying for a pension.
Then, there's the golf, paid for by the bankers they were charged with regulating:
In another finding, the OIG cited an OCC staffer for accepting golf fees and meals from bank executives…The golf outings took place on multiple occasions during workweeks when OCC was conducting bank examinations. Many of the greens fees and meals at the golf course were paid for by corporate executives.
The OIG stated the OCC official "violated several regulations covering ethics and the conduct of employees in the performance of their official duties."
The employee investigated had been to Treasury ethics training and thought this qualified as a "condoned activity."
And, one more:
Another ethics violation in the OIG documents focused on a Treasury Department employee in the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).
The intoxicated OFAC official attempted to bring prohibited alcoholic beverages into a college football game, and was stopped by law enforcement.
The OFAC official was perceived to be "disorderly and disruptive" and was nearly arrested even after University of North Carolina police noticed the official's badge and credentials. The report said the officers used "restraint because they believed him to be a law enforcement officer." OIG found him to be in "violation of Treasury policy."
The true violation, here, is in being drunk and disorderly at a UNC football game, but I digress. The IG reports, acquired via FOIA request, redact the employees' names, and it's unclear whether anyone but the Craigslist Romeo was let go.
The misconduct appears to be much less widespread like the GSA's infamous profligacy. Inspector General Eric Thorson attributed it to a few people in a large organization doing "dumb things." But the scandal list for the Obama administration looks like the plot of "The Hangover III"— public intoxication, ubiquitous prostitutes, Craigslist encounters, Vegas, and hot tubs. Though it's unclear where the government giving guns to Mexican drug lords, which were later used to kill 300 people including an American border agent, fits into this bawdy, fun-filled boys' comedy.

What's wrong with hookers? They are self-sufficient entrepreneurs. AngusMc on July 17, 2012 at 3:28 PM
"There are a lot of wealthy, successful prostitutes who agree with me — because they want to give something back besides STD's. They know they didn't — look, if you've been a successful hooker, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. You prolly took a cab. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just such a good prostitute, or so smart. There are a lot of smart prostitutes out there. It must be because I "work" harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hard "working" people out there. (Applause.)
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some condoms. There was a great pimp somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable system of alleys and dark parking lots that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in truck stops and $20 an hour motels. If you've got an escort business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." –President Obooba
