Respirator for Silica Sand Blasting and Painting
Hi Guys,
Getting ready to sand blast the rear suspension parts on my Buick and while getting the logistics sorted noticed my paint respirator is not for media blasting, especially silica sand. That put me on the quest for an all-in-one solution for a full face mask with external air supply. I think the air supply kits from most sites are way overpriced. Sooo, I'm now looking at the full face mask with the hose (reaches to belt length I believe). That is $229.00 alone. If I was going to make a living with this, no problem, I'd lay down a grand and be done but it will only be for occasional use on small jobs/parts (until spring anyway). Years ago I would've used a bandanna for quick spurts, but hopefully a little wiser now. I'm working on plans for a Blast/Spray booth, but that will have to wait for the next project whereas I need this car on the road.
Can anyone recommend a stand-alone ambient respirator for blasting and painting or options for a cheaper self contained fresh air respirator? DIY ideas welcomed. I have a blast hood, but need better respiratory protection. I know this is a touchy subject and I have no problem with scolding for safety's sake. Thanks.
Searching for the best and cheapest short term solution for a respirator, I'm now looking at this product. When this project is completed, I'll focus on better long term solutions for upcoming projects in regards to media blasting & painting.
For Organic Vapors, Acid Gases, With P100 Filter
Replacement filters (if I read this right): 6 pack - 9100T19* $72.90
If that's the case, they must be fabulous and a great incentive for a DIY apperatus.
Kinda short on tech specs, but some sites may or may not even show a pic with less info. Surely this is safe(-r) with silica dust. The ears can be protected with a head sock or haz-mat suit. That just leaves protecting the eyes. Maybe unvented painters googles (just seal up any vent holes in those or regular googles for this project). I AM treating silica dust as a deadly chemical - for sure.
Since I don't know anyone at OSHA nor do I have access to their secretive safety data, those P100 filters must be THEEE!! difinitive filters of this century.
simple, dont use sand .
I've considered that. Waiting for a reply from a company that sells Dupont's Starolite under a different name variation. More expensive all the way around considering shipping on at least 50 lbs. Better short term safety; i.e. less breakdown into dust, or so I've heard. Sand would be great for the heavy parts ($2.00 per 50 lbs.) and more danger to me. I'm going to have to decide soon and get my orders in. Cooler weather is closing in on this project.
I've been looking for a retailer for Starolite for a while now, it sounds like a great alternative to sand, but in the long term, & especially since no local access to the stuff (live close to Dupont plant, btw), I'm now the proud owner of 100 lbs. of sand. If I can get my long term system adapted to this and overcome the problem of finding an assortment of grits of sand for various material thicknesses and compressor psi adjustments, it would be a cheap solution. When I worked for Cummins years ago, we only used glass beads for engine parts, but I can get those locally at a greater cost of course, yet I'm thinking sand at the right grit and pressure will be a good alternative for machined surfaces.
As far as a reliable breating apperatus to safely use silica sand, I'm looking at the biggest cost for a full face mask. Next would be the cost of the hose. Interestingly, maybe the cheapest component to this system might possibly be the air pump. I'm "thinking out loud" here with the befit of someone corrceting my bad thinking. A commercial quiality air pump is over $1,000 USD. A hobby type system can be had for roughly $400. - $600. The commercial type pumps are rated at 3/4 HP (11 AMPS) to 1-1/2 HP (16 AMPS) and respectively 10 - 16 CFM with both @ 5 PSI. Maybe this is for more than one person, but if someone is breathing that hard to need a $!,000 1-1/2 HP @ 5 PSI air pump, maybe he can collect coins instead.
Why wouldn't an adapted 12v oiless air pump that is in the trunk of the car @ $40~ a pop, not supply one mask with sufficinet fresh air? Just need a foolproof regulator powered by a 110v AC to 12v DC converter thru, I don't know, say a 1/8" to 1/4" line (less weight / less cumbersome) and a retrofitted
mask to expell any excess air - maybe a switching mechanism for intermitent use.
This is the part I'm having the most trouble thinking through now, but I'm thinking with out a completely sealed mask, any excess pressure is continually vented out "weep holes" so no back draft of fumes/dust is possible unless the pump quits. This scenario is taking place out doors. I'll have to think on this some more but someone with the better solution will help.
I guess I'll order the respirator above for now and see what lies ahead on this idea, unless someone knows of a better respirator.
Sorry, I posted and then caught the words "intermittent use". That would be a very VERY bad idea with an unsealed mask.
I know other people would like better protection but are put off by the costs of fresh air systems. I read another thread where someone mentioned scuba
masks. Here are some links that will maybe give others ideas to a tried and true system. I first thought Scuba a long time ago in relation to this topic, but never have researched it & discounted the idea because of oxygen tanks, but it may hold the answer. Some of the lower end items are cheaper than safety type apperati and from other posts, it appears that oxygen tanks are less expensive maybe to either purchase or rent. Silicone rubber hoods and masks are completely sealed and regulators are relatively inexpensive or quite expensive. It seems like this is a viable option:
Maybe instead of purchasing costly blast media all the time (except for aluminum or thinner parts), that money would be better spent on lower cost protective gear and cheaper blast media.
buy a bullard blast hood and run off the compressor. scuba gear will last about 30 sec.
I know some of you quys have thought this over before. I have unintentionally breathed in oil and diesel mists and naturally avoided any connection to a oiled compressor. The e-tailers bold enough to give the price on the Bullard hood list @ $600+ for a hood and cape with 5 or so ft. of hose and a belt. "Request for a qoute" sounds like heavy middleman action on other sites. That is a little over in cost. Maybe they have a regulator or other components that might work in a DIY system though.
The scuba face shield could be protected further with a cheapo HF face shield, but yeah, eventually time would take it's toll. Maybe some drops of contact cement strategically placed and a sheet of plastic put over the lens or a combo of the two. Surely the other components would last as long as safety gear parts, but I've never used scuba gear myself to know of the build quality. Still seems to be feasible in my mind.
dont know who you called but the nova 2000 blast helmet is only 389. there is a soft hood that cost less.
That price was from a site found in a search engine for "Bullard Blast hood".
I followed that link, Shine but got this:
"nova 2000"
This was all I found @ Northern:
Still $389.00 for the "body wear" portion of the system is excessive. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. There's gotta be a happy medium somewhere.
I'm looking at this again and contemplating that there are a lot of crevices created at the shoulder area when moving about.
It seems there would be enough vacuum in that hood to draw in some silica dust and even rust. I'm thinking a better sealed system would be required even for any blast media. Well, at least to continue blasting for many more happy years. I know I'm not alone on this, but I breathed all of the rust I care to, even with a respirator. It looks like someone with the resources and ingenuity could do well even selling at decent affordable prices. Moreso probably.

check out Mine safety Equipment as they have a good selection of respirators for various uses..On the media some of the medias cut better then others and use less media. I also do as much as possible with sanders and grinders and save the blast for the hard to get areas..
Try those guys as their products are usually available from several local outlets so you can get replacement consumables easily. cartridges are a consumable item..I use a half mask and a hood my self when blasting..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Thanks Sam. Excellent idea on mining supplies. I'll check that link shortly.
Yeah, I already took a scraper to what I could reach and will probably hit it again then follow with a wire brush on a die grinder. I did get a cheap hood at HF and I just order the P100? filtered respirator to use next week after my order comes in. You seem confident in that setup and sounds like a reasonable solution. Sounds good. Thanks.
the hoods have air supply. there is no vacuum in a pressure hood. read the specs .

text: Electronystagmography (ENG)What is electronystagmography?Your healthcare provider can use electronystagmography (ENG) to evaluate vertigo and certain other hearing and vision disorders. Vertigo is a false sense of spinning or motion that can cause dizziness.For this test, your healthcare provider places electrodes above and below the eye to record electrical activity. By measuring the changes in the electrical field within the eye, ENG can detect involuntary rapid eye movement (nystagmus) in response to certain stimuli. If it does not occur when stimulated, you may have a problem within the ear, nerves that supply the ear, or certain parts of the brain.The ENG is actually a series of tests that may include one or more of the following measurements:Calibration test. For this test, you follow a light with your eyes. This test checks for ocular dysmetria, a condition that causes the pupils of the eye to overshoot their target.Gaze nystagmus test. For this test, you stare at a fixed light placed to either the center or side as you are seated or lying down. This test measures how well you can fix your gaze at an object without your eyes moving involuntarily.Pendulum-tracking test. For this test, you follow a light with your eyes as it moves like a pendulum of a clock.Optokinetics test. This checks your ability to follow a light as it moves quickly across and out of your field of vision and back again while you keep your head still.Positional test. For this test, you move your head and perhaps your whole body, not just your eyes. For example, you may be instructed to turn your head quickly to one side, or you may be asked to sit up quickly after you have been lying down. The amount of eye motion that results from this activity is recorded.Water caloric test. This test involves introducing warm or cool water into the ear canal with a syringe so that it touches the tympanic membrane. If no problem exists, your eyes will move involuntarily to this stimulus. Your provider may use air instead of water as the stimulus for this test, especially if you have a damaged tympanic membrane.Why might I need an ENG test? Your healthcare provider uses ENG to find disorders of the peripheral vestibular system, the parts of the inner ear that interpret balance and spatial orientation, or the nerves that connect the vestibular system to the brain and the muscles of the eye.You may have this test if you have unexplained dizziness, vertigo, or hearing loss. These are symptoms, not a diagnosis. The ENG may help find the exact cause of your symptoms. Possible causes include:Acoustic neuroma (a tumor of the nerve responsible for sound and balance)Labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear, often caused by a virus)Usher syndrome (a congenital disorder that causes hearing loss)Meniere's disease (excess fluid in the inner ear that can affect hearing and balance)If a known lesion exists this test can identify the actual site. There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend an ENG.What are the risks of ENG tests? There are very few risks with ENG. Some people may have dizziness or nausea during the test.ENG should not be used if you have a pacemaker because the equipment may interfere with pacemaker function.Rapid changes in position required for the test may aggravate back or neck problems.The water caloric test may cause mild discomfort. If you have been previously diagnosed with a perforated tympanic membrane, you should not undergo the water caloric portion of the ENG test.There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.Certain factors or conditions may interfere with ENG. These include:EarwaxImpaired visionFrequent blinkingCertain medicines, such as sedatives, tranquilizers, and anti-vertigo medicinesHow do I get ready for an ENG test? Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you and you can ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.You may be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.You may be asked to avoid eating for at least four hours before the test.Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before the test.Tell your healthcare provider of all medicines (prescribed and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you take.Discontinue taking sedatives, tranquilizers, and any other medicines as instructed by your healthcare provider before the test.Carefully clean your ears of excessive earwax. Before the ENG, your ears will be examined for the presence of wax, inflammation, or other problems that may interfere with the test.If you wear eyeglasses or a hearing aid, bring them with you to the test.Based on your medical condition, your healthcare provider may request other specific preparation.What happens during an ENG test? You may have an ENG on an outpatient basis or as part of a hospital stay. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.Generally, the ENG follows this process:Your healthcare provider will remove any wax in your ear.Before positioning the electrodes, your healthcare provider will clean areas of the skin on your face with an alcohol-saturated cotton pad and let them air dry. Your provider will use a paste to attach the electrodes. He or she will position an electrode in the center of your forehead, and the other above the eyebrow and below the eye in a way that allows you to close your eyes. You may also have electrodes on the side of each eye.Depending on the type of test being done, you may be asked to look up, down, or to the side or move your head or entire body. You may also be asked to close your eyes, which does not hinder the recording of eye movement.For caloric testing, your provider will introduce either air or water to the ear while he or she records eye movements.A recorder detects the electrical activity from the electrodes. The recorder amplifies the signal and charts so that your healthcare provider can interpret the results.What happens after the ENG test? Once the test is done, your provider will remove the electrodes and wash off the electrode paste. Don't rub your eyes to avoid spreading the electrode paste.Your provider will watch you for any signs of weakness, dizziness, and nausea. You may need to lie down or sit for a few minutes to recover.Your healthcare provider will tell you when to resume any medicines you stopped taking before the test.Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation. Next stepsBefore you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:The name of the test or procedureThe reason you are having the test or procedureWhat results to expect and what they meanThe risks and benefits of the test or procedureWhat the possible side effects or complications areWhen and where you are to have the test or procedureWho will do the test or procedure and what that person's qualifications areWhat would happen if you did not have the test or procedureAny alternative tests or procedures to think aboutWhen and how will you get the resultsWho to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problemsHow much will you have to pay for the test or procedure Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Due Torri Hotel
Top Luxury Hotel
Piazza S Anastasia 4, Verona, Veneto
0.5 km from
฿ 5,273+
We stayed at the hotel for three nights with our two small children. The staff were very pleasant and provided anything required to make our stay comfortable. The food was good and the rooms exceptionally comfortable. we would recommend the hotel for a most enjoyable stay in beautiful Verona.
A 5 star hotel in the city center! Beautiful old palace!
Beautiful hotel, excellent location, BUT lacks atmosphere due to it being so empty whilst there. I don't know the reason for this, but I wanted to eat in the great setting for a restaurant, but didn't see 1 person use it in the time we were there. The empty restaurant!
Location and service. Rooms need a face lift..... but service made up for it.
The hotel staff were very polite. I have asked for a smoking room and I got a non-smoking room.
Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful and they all spoke English! The food was great in the hotel and it was situated close to all the sights and shopping. Our room was excellent with beautiful furnishings and they gave us complimentary champagne and fruit for our anniversary! Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Impressive entrance and main lobby, one of a kind. Not appropriate breakfast room/feels really average to have breakfast there.... brakfast, small room
n/a No Air conditioning,extremely uncomfortable because of this.No food available on arrival in the afternoon.Would you like some toast sir!!! 5 Star hotel,definately not,needs new A/C UNIT fitting which works whether the weather outside is warm or not!!!!
The hotel has a super location and the staff were very helpful.
High standards
I like the style of that hotel .It is an old charming hotel with stylish saloons and elegant rooms no
very nice and wonderful hotel
The attention to detail at the hotel, in the training of the staff, in the desing of the cooman areas and sleeping rooms, and in the elegant breakfast are first rate. The front desk sent us to a highly over-done and over-priced restaurant, representing it as "simple, but good." In 20+ trips to Italy, this was probably the least simple restaurant I have been in, and it was horribly over-priced.
This is a beautiful hotel. It is in the best location in Verona. The service was impeccable and the staff was superb.
The location is excellent and the decor and facilities are extremely tasteful. The rooms have originality and character. The shower was difficult to use without having water all over the floor. The bed-side reading lights were unsatisfactory.
I really liked the hotel and will be going back there again. Very nice room/suite in probably the best location in Verona. Very helpful staff who were there when you needed them without being unduly solicitous. Room maintained to a very high standard. Good breakfasts. Couldn't tell from the info in the room or on the phone itself how to get room service but still managed to get early morning tea thanks to the really helpful staff.
The hotel was really very charming and very comfortable. A little of the street noise from the location but well worth it to be in the heart of the city. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially thee waiters in the morning serving breakfast! We hope to be back to Hotel Gabbia D'Oro and will be recommending it to our friends. Can't think of anything we didn't like, wish we could have been there longer!
Great boutique hotel in city center of Verona. Service and staff very helpful and always have a big smile. Rooms are quiet, clean, and nicely furnished
Excellent location, genuine and historical venue, great people, good quality-price relation If window opened at night it can be noisy
The location was absolutely perfect! Right in the center of the old town, with shops, restaurants and night life right outside the door. The staff was very friendly and eager to help out. Great stay - will defintely try to book again. Reaching downtown via car is a little tricky because of all the one way streets and pedestrian routes but worth it once you arrive at the destination.

PANEVĖ?YS, Lithuania -- Bashaara Graves had 10 points, as the USA passed its hardest test yet with an 88-54 win over Canada on Tuesday in second round play at the 2013 FIBA World Championship for Women.
Already qualified for the quarterfinals, the USA's final second round game will determine whether it advances as the No. 1 or No. 2 seed from Group F, as the American women meet up against also-unbeaten France (5-0) on Wednesday at 1:15 p.m. Eastern time. Live stats will be available at www.fibalivestats.com
The top four finishing teams in each second round group will advance to the Quarterfinals, which will be played on Friday. The semifinals will be held on Saturday and the finals on Sunday, both of which will be streamed live online by ESPN3.
As was the case in Monday's rout of the Netherlands, Graves was one of five Americans scoring in double figures. This time around, the rising Lady Vol sophomore hit four of six shot attempts and added six rebounds, two steals, an assist and a blocked shot in 20 minutes of action to help the USA stave off a challenge from its neighbor to the north.
Graves continues to lead the USA in field goal percentage at 68 percent on 17 of 25 shooting for the tournament. She's also averaging 9.0 points and 6.0 rebounds for her squad while starting all five contests.
USA, which had dominated its first four opponents by an average score of 105.3 to 42.8, managed only a 25-16 lead after the first quarter on Tuesday and went into the locker room with a 47-31 advantage after out-pointing Canada, 22-15, in the second stanza.
Words of encouragement and wisdom at halftime seemed to breathe new life into the Americans, as they blew the game open in the third frame with a 31-11 spree over 10 minutes of action. They were unable to close in strong fashion, though, as Canada outscored the USA five in the final quarter, 12-10, for the final 34-point margin.
"At the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, we played great," said USA U19 and University of Miami head coach Katie Meier. "It took us a little bit of time to establish ourselves and our tempo. It was a nine-point game there close to the end of the second quarter and we pushed it to 16 at halftime. Then, our starters were taking care of business at the start of the third quarter. A 31-point third quarter, when points were hard to come by tonight, I thought that was the difference in the game."
Graves said the previous meeting between the teams, in the Lanzarote International Invitational leading up to this tournament, gave the Canadians a better idea of how to attack and defend the Americans.
"They were very physical; you could tell they scouted us very well," said Graves. "It was kind of hard to go through our plays and made it hard for people who usually get their shots off, to get good shots. They were definitely ready to run with us.
"We didn't get as many transition points as we usually do. This was our lowest scoring game. They knew exactly how we played, especially since we played against them before (in the Canary Islands). It was kind of hard."
Holding a narrow 44-39 rebounding margin, the USA shot 44.9 percent from the field and was on fire from 3-point land, hitting 42.9 percent (6-14 3pt FGs) from beyond the arc, while holding Canada to 32.8 percent from the field. Further, the USA dished out 22 assists on 35 baskets, scored 25 points off of 28 Canada turnovers, while allowing Canada to score just seven from its 15 miscues. The USA outscored Canada 44-24 in the paint, 17-8 on second chances and 8-0 on the fast break.

I am an automatic wanderer:
I lackadaisically brave
The riotous sea as I banter
With the Sun's flustering fever
That the apertures of the promontories
Cannot sweat out with blood
And acrimony.
The sea does not need me,
That I am sure of
But I need the sea
For the sea has taught me
From the sediments of my soul,
To the residues of pure flame,
A tormenting lament
And the chaos of trouble
Over these deceitful waters.
I set my nets in redundancy:
Anguished, exhausted
And spineless
My nets enervate as the sloshing
Of these infuriated waves
Tamper all that is left of my
Equanimity, my heart.
My pillars are frail
But my soul continues.
A mindless drudgery,
A game of thieves without an accolade:
I let the sea
Steal all of me.
Until nothing is left of me:
A seafarer without a sea.

In his Tulsa Tribune article, "Some Tulsa County Towns Are Only Faded Memories," Jim Downing pointed out that before Tulsa County was the City of Tulsa and everything else, the city was just a small part of everything else. Initally, the everything else consisted of small places that provided goods and that were spaced at convenient distances , allowing those travelling by team and wagon to make the roundtrip during daylight hours. Later, settlements sprang up along the railroad line as it expanded. Over time, many of these places ceased to exist, at least officially.

Does it count as being stood up if you were gonna meet up on Skype? :<
Ah well, at least I got chocolate.
So how did YOUR valentines go?
Any other day?
Nothing wrong with long distance. I was in one in 2013, we Skyped everyday I even had flowers delivered to her house on v day. I broke up with her though a Lil bit afterwards due to being behind in my class work. I just couldn't find the time to Skype all day and try to study.I was moving back to Minnesota anyways and we eventually got back together.
Never burn your bridges
Depends on the reason why you two only met up in Skype and not in real life. It's all about the situation.
My girlfriend and I spent the day together at my house. We went to Target to get additional supplies to make cupcakes. Ended the day eating Chipotle, me cooking steak for us, playing with my niece, cuddled, and talk. Didn't get to make cupcakes because we talked for most of the time. It was a great day.
I've been at work but I don't really get into v day. It is just another day to me.
Be careful of what you say, tomorrow or today, for the words you now speak, may become the poison your enemies later seek; truth.
"Rules do not exist to bind you, they exist so you may know your freedoms"
The wife and I sacrificed a lamb to ensure another bountiful, love filled year.
same as every year. did nothing no one to spend it with. valentines day is just another day any ways. even though i do wish i could of got some candy are something all i got was a headache and another coughing spell
I kind of do not like Valentine's Days, because it's the day when all hell breaks loose and starts demanding chocolate from you. And that goes every year, ending with a great lack of satisfaction and addition to my swearing dictionary.
On a side note I didn't do ANYTHING for Valentine's day. I slept most of it away and had not the furniture delivery dudes not awoken me, I would have slept all of it away. Besides I do the stuff couples do on v day on a daily basis.
I spend V day by sleeping it away. I went to bed at around 9AM, woke up at 6PM, and then went back to bed at 11PM.
The plus side to that is, I woke up at a normal time today so maybe I'll have a regular sleeping schedule for a few days.

idunno, it was like any other day, i guess? people say you should be sad on valentines day if yr not in a relationship so maybe i'm weird. i want other things a lot more.
idunno. isn't that a thing that people say? people tend to get very sad and vocal about how sad they are on valentines day when they aren't in a relationship, don't they?
I personally don't get sad at all. I think it's a happy day for everyone, single or in a relationship. Plus, there's a lot of cute Hello Kitty merch to be had.
I spent a large chunk of my day commuting home. Then I had dinner with my brother and his girlfriend, and we went to pick up our parents from the airport. Then I had to listen to my mom go on about how my grandpa's cremation went down.
Stayed up late and now I'm mad because I missed the Russia-USA game. Ugh.

messy bugger.
Mine was the best one I've had in a long time. Still extremely uneventful, but not negative.
Got forced to go to the movies. Ended up liking the movie, cause I have a thing with disney films
It was just like any other day for me. I spent a few hours playing video games then read most of the day. At night I took myself for a nice run on the ocean and then came back home and went to sleep.
Hopefully next year will be different. :P

When Blogging Gets Nasty | Blossom vs. People I want to Punch in the ThroatPin It
SO. IN the red corner stands a blogger that likes Elf on a Shelf. She likes it so much that she wrote 101 ways to be creative with your Elf on a Shelf. End of Story.
THEN. IN the blue corner comes a blogger that reads red blogger's post about 101 ways to be creative with your Elf on a Shelf and in her words "got really pissed off". So she proceeds to blogger punch red blogger in the nose. She gives her name, links to her blog and then goes on for paragraph after paragraph quoting various ideas from red bloggers blog and then slamming them into the wall. She is mean and sarcastic and whiny and petty. ...and funny. Yes, blue blogger is funny. She's hilarious. ...and if she hadn't named red blogger and linked to her blog and then stolen her content, perhaps it would be ok. ...but it isn't ok. It is mean and sarcastic and whiny and petty.
SO. IN the red corner, red blogger takes down her blog. She states on twitter that she is "unplugging". For a moment on facebook, she is happy and excited to have 500 new "likes"! Where did those come from? Then she sees why. ...and she is hurt. Who wouldn't be? I would be.
THEN. IN the blue corner, she keeps punching red blogger while she is down. Calling her "whiny" on facebook and flaming the fires of hundreds of commenters to mock and belittle red blogger.
SO. Beating up bloggers isn't new. Mean bloggers have been doing it since blogging began, but usually they take on the big bloggers. They take on the bloggers making tons of money. In this case, blue blogger took on a blogger that isn't making millions. She took on a blogger that was trying to do something fun for her kids and share her ideas. She took on a blogger and won. She won because red blogger took her blog down.
To make your own decisions meet Red Blogger aka Blossom Bunkhouse and Blue Blogger aka Jen from People I Want to Punch in the Throat.
EDIT: YAY! Blossom Bunkhouse is BACK and better than ever...go Red Blogger~!

USPS Launches Winter Clothing Line
US Postal Service is diversifying by rolling out new wardrobe items for rain and snow in 2014, which may help increase profits.
The troubled United States Postal Service has figured out an innovative way to shake up its services while, hopefully, adding more, much-needed, revenue to its coffers. The organization, which has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons, announced plans on Tuesday February 20 to unveil a range of apparel in 2014. The 'Rain Heat & Snow' collection, inspired by the motto, 'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds,' aims to provide wearers with technologically advanced protection against extreme weather.
According to a statement from Postal Service Corporate Licensing Manager Steven Mills,
This agreement will put the Postal Service on the cutting edge of functional fashion. The main focus will be to produce 'Rain Heat & Snow' apparel and accessories using technology to create 'smart apparel' — also known as wearable electronics.
The items, to be developed in conjunction with Cleveland-based Wahconah Group, Inc., include jackets, hats, and other pieces equipped with device-friendly gadgets.
USPS has been struggling financially, as more and more consumers turn towards electronic methods of communication, such as e-mail. It announced that it was cutting Saturday delivery on February 6 and reported revealed a $1.3 billion loss in the first quarter of this year. However, this figure includes a 'congressional mandate' that had a $1.4 billion impact on the service–in 2006, it was given 10 years to dole out 75 years ' retiree benefits, and allegedly would have boasted $100 million in the black without the extra cost.
This is not the first time that the federal agency has gone down the fashion-route. In the 1980s, it sold themed ties, mugs and other accessories, but was ordered to stop after complaints that it was not 'licensed to sell merchandise' and was affecting private companies.

New bridges — for cyclists and pedestrians — across the Thames in central London are set to change the character of the riverside districts they will serve. Transport for London says the crossings will amount to vital new infrastructure for the capital — though many residents' groups fear new bridges will disrupt and distort their neighbourhoods.
Following initial planning approval for the much-anticipated Garden Bridge between Temple and Waterloo, the next new crossing, between Nine Elms and Pimlico, appears to have moved a step closer. Dozens of rival designs have been published ahead of a shortlist to be unveiled in July. Construction could start at Nine Elms in 2018, subject to agreement over the precise location of the bridge.
IMAGE GALLERY: new homes near garden bridges
IMAGE GALLERY: new homes near garden bridges
1/8 Garden Bridge
From £1.22 million: with views of the new Garden Bridge at Temple, 190 Strand will be one of the largest residential projects in the area for more than a century (scroll right...)
2/8 190 Strand
From £1.22 million: 206 apartments at 190 Strand, a short stroll from the River Thames, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square (scroll right...)
3/8 190 Strand
From £1.22 million: homes at 190 Strand weave around landscaped squares towards the River Thames (scroll right...)
4/8 190 Strand
From £1.22 million: residents can benefit from a 24-hour concierge service, spa and gym facilities, as well as a private cinema. Call 020 3051 1022.
5/8 Embassy Gardens
From £349,000: Embassy Gardens has buildings of varying height and character, influenced by the architecture of Manhattan's Meatpacking District and London's Edwardian mansion blocks. Call 0800 404 9009
6/8 Crossing the divide
Dozens of designs have been submitted for a new Nine Elms to Pimlico bridge. All of them struggle with the differing elevations of the two sides. This one deploys snaking ramps in an attempt to overcome the problem.
7/8 Riverlight
From £680,000: homes at Riverlight are located right next to the Thames, in the heart of the Nine Elms regeneration area and include landscaped gardens, a riverside walkway and park.
8/8 St George's Square
£4.25 million: for a six-bedroom house in St George's Square, Pimlico's poshest address, where prices have recently spiralled. Through Jackson-Stops & Staff. IMAGE: ALAMY
High hopes for crossing
The Garden Bridge, a mile or so to the east, takes its inspiration from the High Line, an aerial park planted on a former railway track in New York. The £170 million crossing will span the Thames between Temple and the Southbank Centre. Planners like the idea because it will enliven the relatively quiet zone by Temple and dovetail with new residential developments, such as 190 Strand, with 206 apartments, the largest in the area for more than a century. Prices from £1.22 million. Call St Edward Homes on 020 3051 1022. But the Nine Elms to Pimlico bridge is not having such a smooth ride.
TfL's preferred route, backed by Wandsworth Council, is for a south-of-the river landing point close to the new United States Embassy at Nine Elms, and a north bank landing point by St George's Square on the Pimlico waterfront.
Up to 30,000 new homes are earmarked for the Nine Elms district, dominated by Battersea Power Station, and the bridge would provide a quick and convenient link through Pimlico to Sloane Square and Belgravia as well as to Victoria train station. A projected 18,000 cyclists and pedestrians a day would use the bridge, according to TfL, turning a relatively quiet patch of Pimlico into a bustling zone, though possibly creating a rat-run.
Bridge 'to nowhere'
Edward Reeve, chairman of FREDA, an umbrella group representing 25 Pimlico residents' associations, says it is a flawed proposal — a bridge from "somewhere to nowhere" — and a waste of public money.
"We don't believe the case for the bridge is proven. Most of the projected users would be diverted from existing bridges. And where would people be heading to anyway? St George's Square is not a destination in the same sense as St Paul's Cathedral or Tate Modern, which are linked by the Millennium Bridge. It's been suggested that people will walk across the bridge from Nine Elms to get to Pimlico Tube station, yet two new stations are being built on the south side."
He adds that because the landing site on the north side is a constrained space and would require high steps or long ramps, the bridge would cause horrendous car congestion along the Embankment and also ruin Pimlico Gardens, the only green space along this riverside strip.
Such objections may smack of nimbyism, but for the time being at least, Westminster City Council is also opposing the bridge "on the grounds of its visual and environmental impact". But ultimately the decision over whether to build the bridge is likely to rest with the London Mayor, and with TfL, which will pay for it.
St George's Square is Pimlico's poshest address, a long and narrow rectangle of imposing cream-coloured stucco townhouses facing the Thames alongside sprawling Churchill Gardens council estate, itself a conservation area with 1,600 homes, many now privately owned, and Dolphin Square, the 1,250-apartment complex built in the Thirties.
This part of Pimlico used to belong to Grosvenor Estate (the land was sold off in the Fifties), and though it bears a superficial resemblance to neighbouring Belgravia, it has never been quite as smart.
Grosvenor's architect Thomas Cubitt laid out the handsome terraces, wide, straight streets and squares. For much of the 20th century, it lost its attraction, with houses clumsily split into small flats and bedsits or converted to B&Bs.
The turnaround started in the Seventies, with the opening of Pimlico's Victoria line Tube station, and gathered pace during the next decades, with many refurbished houses reverting to family occupancy or transformed into luxury apartments, especially those within the so-called Pimlico Grid, an enclave of blocked-off streets and cul-de-sacs that is remarkably peaceful because of the absence of through traffic.
Property price boost
In recent years, Pimlico property values have spiralled. A six-bedroom house on St George's Square is on the market for £4.25 million, through Jackson-Stops & Staff, while Douglas & Gordon is selling a townhouse in Charlwood Place for £3.15 million.
Swish purpose-built developments are also appearing. Riverwalk, at Millbank, replaces a Sixties office building and brings 116 apartments in two undulating blocks, one 17 storeys high, connected by a central podium. The site includes Locking Piece, a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore. Two-bedroom flats cost from £1.75 million, while the largest penthouse is priced at £25 million. Call Knight Frank on 020 7861 5499.
Chelsea Barracks in the pipeline
On the horizon is high-profile Chelsea Barracks, a prized 13-acre chunk of land between Pimlico Road and the river, where the first phase of 600 upmarket homes is under way.
Surprisingly, perhaps, Pimlico has a wide social mix, with well-kept private, council and charitable housing plus there is a growing number of young private renters living around the lively hub at Warwick Way, just south of Victoria station. As well as a place to live, Nine Elms is set to become a giant recreational and retail hub, and is certain to attract many visitors from north of the river, perhaps reinforcing the case for another bridge. Since 2011, the average value of a home has jumped from about £800 a sq ft to £1,400 a sq ft, while river-facing penthouses are fetching more than £2,000 a sq ft.
Flats at Battersea Power Station cost from £495,000 for a studio, rising to £3.2 million for a four-bedroom townhouse. Call 020 7501 0678.
Nine Elms Point, a Barratt development of 737 homes, has two-bedroom flats starting at £883,000 (call CBRE on 020 7182 2477), while One Nine Elms has 436 flats priced from £795,000. Call Strutt & Parker on 020 7629 282. Completion is in 2018. With many more flats becoming available it is possible that prices may plateau in the short term at least — one reason to compare resales with off-plan prices. Estate agent Garton Jones has a number of resales priced from £699,000 to £2.9 million. Call on 020 7735 1888.
'New bridge will be a seamless link to Pimlico and Hyde Park'
The first new residents at Nine Elms cannot wait for a new bridge to be built. Linda and David Phillips bought an apartment at Riverlight, a scheme that comprises six striking waterfront pavilions with external lifts encased in glass. David, 44, an oil industry executive, and his wife want the flat so they can spend weekends and holidays in central London.
The couple's main home is in Shenfield, Essex.
"We like to make the most of the arts and entertainment options — museums, the theatre, good restaurants and shopping," David says. "Nine Elms is so well placed for this and the new bridge will provide a seamless link to Pimlico and on to Chelsea and Hyde Park. "We'll be able to stroll to Sloane Square and Kings Road in less than 20 minutes. "The bridge just adds to the convenience of living here."
Riverlight itself has a new arts venue, StudioRCA, a collaboration with the Royal College of Art, plus a spa, gym, library, club lounge and café, and is the first of the new developments to complete. Only a few apartments remain for sale, priced from £800,000. Call 020 7870 9620.

The RoveCyberGate Campaign: Stunning Revelations About Election Fraud & How You Can Help Preserve the Integrity of Your Ballot
The RoveCyberGate Campaign
Brought to you by VelvetRevolution.us in cooperation with AfterDowningStreet.org
We are working with Ohio election attorneys, Cliff Arnebeck, Bob Fitrakis and Henry Eckert to find out the truth about recent information indicating that Karl Rove architected and directed a strategy to manipulate elections through the use of computers. Rove's Cyber Guru, Michael Connell, has worked for the Bush family for over 20 years and helped Bush Sr., Jeb and Bush Jr. "win" their elections using his computer skills. Whistleblowers, including a Republican cyber security expert, say that several of these and other national elections have been rigged through various invisible and illegal means, including vote tabulation manipulation, improper partisan use of the Justice Department to target Democrats and uncooperative US Attorneys, and the laundering of hundreds of millions of corporate dollars funneled into fake advocacy groups directed against Democrat candidates running for public office. Ex-Alabama Governor Don Siegelman has stated publicly that Rove was the person who directed Siegelman's rigged election and criminal prosecution. GOP cyber sleuth Stephen Spoonamore has stated publicly that the leadership of the GOP has been "lying and stealing elections" and doing so through computers. Watch the stunning and revealing video here (play time 30 mins - and worth every minute!).
According to the attorneys, Rove's goal with this strategy is to establish a unitary Executive Branch with a supportive judiciary, a weak legislature and a fearful press.
Corporate sponsors of this strategy, such as tobacco, energy, telecom, and pharmaceutical companies are rewarded with hands off government: deregulated oversight, stringent limits on class-action damages, the stacking of high courts with pro-business/anti-consumer Justices etc.
VR's campaign is in support of the Ohio attorneys' use of a federal civil lawsuit in a new legal strategy of taking targeted discovery and depositions of those who have been identified as being involved with or having knowledge of Rove's CyberGate, including Rove, Michael Connell, Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, Bob Ney, Brett Rapp, Ken Blackwell and others. The attorneys intend to file a racketeering RICO lawsuit against those identified in this case and will refer any proof of criminal activity to both state and federal authorities for criminal prosecution.
Read Attorney Clifford Arneson's request to Attorney General Mukasey (copied to House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers) that the Secret Service secure and protect evidence from destruction by perpetrators.
This legal strategy will require significant resources for lawyers, expert witnesses, videotaped depositions, public relations, and investigators. The attorneys will need to go toe to toe with the top lobbyist law firms which will be hired to represent these targets. One of our targets is the US Chamber of Commerce which has spent close to a half billion dollars on lobbying since George Bush was inaugurated. The attorneys assert that Rove has used the Chamber to bankroll many of the illegal attacks using fake front groups posing as advocacy organizations.
RE: Document Hold Notice for US Chamber
This is to follow-up on our earlier discussions regarding our interest in obtaining the names of contributors and dates and amounts of corporate treasury contributions to the US Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform that have been used in Ohio and elsewhere to influence state candidate elections for supreme court and attorney general. I have previously sent a document hold notice to Brad Smith, as counsel to the Ohio Chamber, in regard to documents related to the activities of their Citizens for a Strong Ohio, to which the US Chamber's Institute was a contributor in the 2002 and 2004 Ohio Supreme Court elections.
We now request that you advise your client the US Chamber and its Institute for Legal Reform that we intend to assert an Ohio Corrupt Practices Act/RICO claim in connection with their continuing activities, in coordination with Mr. Rove's strategy of gaining single faction dominance in the United States on the basis of freeing business of meaningful government regulation and the rule of law, to influence these elections in Ohio and around the country.
Because of the Ohio statehouse press corps' interest in this matter from its inception during the 2000 election year, we are providing them a copy of this request.
The attorneys will need to respond immediately to what we expect to be a smear campaign by those implicated in this attack on democracy. Press and FEC reports show that Rove and Connell are now working for the McCain presidential campaign.
Our job does not stop with simply exposing the truth. We need to make sure that these same people are not able to manipulate the upcoming presidential election. Why are these people now working for John McCain?
Is it because they have promised him a win no matter what? We want to make sure that McCain knows exactly what these people have done and hold him to his promise of a clean election.
Growing evidence suggests that, together, they've delivered many times in the last decade.
We need your help.
Let's get to the bottom of this scandal before it's too late.

Just in time..... When your done bending over for your boyfreind there I have a couple of questions for you.
Do you feel sick at all ... you know having to suck dick like that just to survive?
And two .... What's so great about your hero George Bush... I would really like to know please enlighten us???
More liberal conspiracy gobbledygook. You people are HALARIOUS!
I do know we have some men that conspired..to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful acts....
We will have paper ballots in 2008....
So the boys of the CIA and Pentagon for decades have been working on some pretty vile technology...
I know who has it,,,
Even though they have just about killed me with it,,,I give them my total support on using it to take down the corruption..
Just so you know,,,there beyond where you were stopped...
I wonder if they let you get so far for the purpose to have LAWS written to prevent men from enslaving a Nation,,the World....
As they used me,,,it appears to me they had this technology before you started.....I see this technology going back into the 40's,,,and fined tuned,,,,
You rogue boys think the fear of a bullet in the head is the ultimate in anguish and fear..
With this technology they can take you to ultimate in mental anguish then pull you back and start again the next day..
They can do physical too..
All of this without leaving a trail of evidence...
I think I was sacraficed on your behalf and others..
They put me threw a gaunlet of asking for death of everyday..
I don't think you should mess around with men that are able to endure this...
They steered my entire life and for over 7 years controlled it 24/7,,,they have taken everything away from me..
I think sometimes my opinion mattered..
Threw this 7 years I clung to JFK'S words and still do..
"Ask not what your country can do for you,ask what you can do for your country".........
If my opinion sometimes mattered you were up against JFK'S words.....
For the 53 odd years I have been part of this wonderful world, I have never seen such a Corrupt Administration running this Government. Us, as a group of people you say, are so 'HILARIOUS', Well, let's just see how 'Funny' we really are. We are almost as funny as; the Deaths at over 4100 of our children in a 'War of Lies', Almost as Funny as the over 1 million deaths of innocent Iraqis people, Almost as Funny as being hated throughout the world for our Crimes against Humanity, Almost as Funny Torturing of Fathers, Mothers, Brothers and Sister that only want to live their life in a empty promised peace, Almost as Funny Destroying the Homes of more than 3 Million innocent people, Almost as Funny as Killing of a child's Father, Mother, Sister or Bother, Almost as Funny of Spying on our own People and using this information against them for a "Self Serving" want, Almost as Funny as a President making a Joke out of going to war and not finding the items our children are dying for, You're right, we are just HILARIOUS! Just Full of Laughs.
Maybe one day you may have children that are put in 'Harms Way' not of their choosing, you then will see just how HILARIOUS this really is.

Just a bunch of liberal kooks.
I dare you to answer me!!!
Dear Bush-worshipping Texas dumbass:
You post was only EIGHT words long, and you STILL couldn't spell all eight words correctly! The word is "hilarious", not "HALARIOUS." You Texas twit.
Do you ever think for a minute and realize YOU ARE EVEN DUMBER THAN CONDOLEEZZA RICE? You are probably dumber than George W. Bush. TOO BAD YOUR DADDY WASN'T HEAD OF THE CIA. Or you might not be working the shake machine at the DQ.
By the way, your favorie piles of crap, George Bush and Dickie Cheney and Karl "family secrets" Rove, are responsible for eviscerating the Republican party and taking it from controlling both houses and the White House to being wiped out in the Senate and House, losing the governorships lead, and possibly losing the presidency in 74 days. Yet you still think of these criminal bastards as HEROES. They just killed 5,200 Americans in Iraq based on a fake threat, they just killed 2,975 Americans and foreigners in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon by purposeful inaction, that's called criminal negligence, yet you WORSHIP THEM.
You hate this country so much, you should move to Communist China and suck the lint out of the male Chinese gymnasts's navels. Then you can shine the wheels for the ChiCom Party officials, so that when Bush visits to get his final marching orders in October he can see his aging simian image in the clean chrome wheels, and throw you a 5-yuan tip for your trouble. You Texas twat.
We have to demand a complete paper trail for this next election. If what happen in 2004 with the "Big Surprise" of Bush winning the White House Seat, do not be surprised if 'McBush' wins this year. Rove is not to be trusted (actually should be in jail) and knowing that he has his fingers in the computer programming, I assure you that it will be a fraudulent election again. We can not let this happen or this world will be on its final days.

getting to VelvetRevolution? Hyperlink didn't work for me so I googled it and it and the Rove article won't come up. Could just be be, but was wondering if anyone else had the same trouble.
Hi to Chip,
Will you email me your address? Would like to submit an article.
The hyperlink works for me and the Rove article dated 08/10/08 is there.
Give it another try.
I ended up getting the first minute of Spoonemore (sp I'm sure) interview and then some start and stop video without audio and then it stopped completely. This from a friend's state of the art computer. Did download the interview (which for some reason took over an hour) on my computer, even though most videos I encounter on ads and other places can be played when I click on them. When I attempted to play it stayed on the first frame.
Not trying to get others to diagnose my computer troubles, and sorry for the post that may not impact you, but has anyone else had trouble downloading? I went to www.velvetrevolution.us to watch directly from there, but same results. Also strange how many posts trashing what probably is real vote stealing. Thanks, Rain
I was listening to Thom Hartmann and they mentioned this subject so I searched on it and came to this page. It keeps aborting in Internet Explorer. I tried reloading it a number of times and it did the same thing. I had to switch over to Firefox to load the page. I also have a state-of-the-art system and it almost never has problems like this.
Conspiracy NUTS!!
IMPEACH BUSHCO & RICO PNAC/AIPAC...PNAC is Bush/Cheney's "Helter Skelter" !
I double dog dare you you tell us all why George Bush is such a great guy????
Here's a good reason to vote for a 3rd party candidate rather then the lesser of two evils (Obama). Chances are the computer hackers will have touch-screen machines rigged to dump votes for Obama into the McCain column, but what will it do with votes for Nader or McKinney? That may be one the programmers won't account for! Let's blow their minds!
Al K.
Please write more grammatically. Karl Rove rigged, designed, or created the program, but he didn't "architect" it.
I was with you until I watched Spoonamore's interviews today. Guy seems to know his stuff and he used the word. Designed, built, created are more comfortable to me. Words evolve for better and worse. I think architect came from the Rove camp to be frank. His idea, but didn't do it himself, gets some credit somewhere but we end up having hard time tracking down the trail. Blathering now. Can't wait to see him testify.
When I first heard "architected" in the video, I thought it stood out, but I just went on. Turns out if you google "architected" you'll find over a million hits, showing that its common professional industry parlance for integrated system conceptionalization, design, programming and implementation.
And your thought about Rove has merit, too, since he's called "the architect" in polite company (affectionately, "turd blossom" by the frat brat). The dictionary defines "architect" as one "who plans and achieves a difficult objective."
Based on our current predicaments, that also seems like a fair characterization of turd blossom.
More grist for the anti-impeachment media to chew on. The Edwards story is losing steam fast. Now, we can feast on the gritty facts surrounding "the shooting." This guy's history should be fascinating. Probably piloted drugs and guns during Iran-Contra when Clinton was governor. Oh, this will be juicy!
Ark. Democratic Party chairman dies from gunshot: report
5:23p ET August 13, 2008 (MarketWatch)
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Bill Gwatney has died from a gunshot wound received in his Little Rock office hours earlier, CNN reported late Wednesday, citing a statement from former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. The shooting suspect, who was later shot by police following a 30-mile chase, was not identified.
Greetings all,
As a network engineer, with network security being one of my focuses, I can state with certainty that election fraud(s) have been happening since the introduction of voting machines.
One of my functions is to log into remote network nodes, be it a switch, router, servers or individual machines for software updates, patches, collecting data (memory dumps), network traffic, and, most importantly, can manipulate, monitor remotely, install or remove applications, upload and download whatever information I need or want for analysis or applications's usage,... etc.
Election fraud has happened in the US elections at all levels, state to federal, from local councils to presidents. It is the same fraud that brought Bush & Dicky, Bliar and Sarkousi, Barlescony and all the right-wing extremist leaders in Europe and elsewhere.
The US, and for that matter all countries that adopt such system, WILL NEVER HAVE AN HONEST ELECTIONS, unless hand couting is deployed.
For certainty of what I have stated above, a thorough EXAMINATIONS OF THE SUPPLIERS OF THE MACHINES AND WHO SUUPORTS THE MACHINES. You shall find, to your surpsise, that those companies are subsidiaries of some of the largest corporations. Also, investigate the software developers, and you will find israeli companies are deeply involved.
For those interested in fair and honest elections, a hand- count, even if it takes longer, is the ONLY OPTION.
Kindest regards,
Che Snotora,
Incidentally, it is a requirement by the FBI that any network communication systems, voice, video or data, software or hardware, THAT THEY HAVE A BACKDOOR ENTRY INTO THE SYSTEMS. Check it out with suppliers of network/communication manufacturing companies, in the US and elswhere.
I've not only concluded that we should go back to paper ballots, we should also have at least half-day holidays on election days. That way, people can volunteer as ballot counters, election watchers and judges, and be more actively involved in our political process.
I agree..
It will also puts importance on our FREEDOM..
We have many countries in the white anglo saxon world that are connected in corruption..
From governments and banking,,
I hope these men are taken down together if not in a short span..
Because then we the MASSES of many countries can mark a day.
A day for the masses of many countries to celebrate FREEDOM...
It will be the start to unite all people threw out the world..
There should also be a doctrine for this day....
Like a Constituion for the many countries...
If any government tries to take this day away,,,
There will be an army from many countries fighting to stop the oppresors...
We will have conventions and share ideas...
A website of discussions by the people of many countries..
An effort to have other countries join as members.
It will be operated by WE THE PEOPLE of the WORLD...
So many countries have an individual day they celebrate..
This day will be a day created by the people of the World for the World's people...and if any government goes astray they will fill the wrath of many people's of many countries...
The powerful and the rich from government and wealth, for decades have met and shared there ideas and evils...
Why should the masses not meet and share ideas.
Personally I think there should be 2 days off from work..
One day marked in rememberance for the suffering of many.
The other day marked in celebration of FREEDOM from corruptions and evil...
Currently, only self-employed and owners can leave work early to vote, and we all know what they vote for.
IMPEACH BUSHCO & RICO PNAC/AIPAC...PNAC is Bush/Cheney's "Helter Skelter" !
That they are using the worst possible Isp they can find to run all their networks. I found out a year ago that Tim Johnsons re election team decided to use a guy that was an obvious and outspoken die hard republican bush supporter to run every aspect of their computer network with access to basically all of their files. I made damn sure that Johnson's top advisors knew that this was a bad idea from the very first day I found out. I was completely ignored under the guies of Bi-partisnship and now they are acting like it's a complete surprise that their computer systems are rampent with service and internet security problems. Yet they still have the same ISP and the same guy and his team running it.
I haven't given one ounce of support to Tim since I was shrugged off that day which is regretable because he's a good man to know. I also warned Tim eye to eye and man to man about Bush irritating Russia and China enouph for them to work together against us back in 2002 and got a chuckle out of him "That's rediculous, They hate eachother too much!" he said. Whose regretibly laughing now Tim? I'm about ready to run myself next time around!! I won't do any worse if there is anything left.
In fact that's my platform
"Senator Johnathan Douglas !!.... He promisses he won't do any worse!!!"
Rain, I double-checked the Spoonamore interview, and it plays at VR. Yours is the only report of trouble I've read.
Even if this were all just "Liberal Conspiracy" there is a huge problem with our voting system:
Of the 100% of people in our country who are legally eligible to REGISTER to vote, only 50% Do. Then only 50%-60% of the people who register actually show up to vote. That means only 25%-40% of our voting population is voting, and 60%-75% are not. Do the math. Our votes are SUPPOSED to be majority rules.
I know most people (both Republican AND Democrats) write this off to people not caring enough, blah, blah, blah. While I'm sure there are some people who do not care about the Elections, this is indicative of a huge problem that effects EVERY American; Just don't give them an option in the multiple choice exam we call our elections: you have to Pick A or B. WE ALL NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT VOTE, NOT VOTING IS OPTION C: NON OF THE ABOVE. 75% OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO VOTE FOR EITHER THE REPUBLICANS OR THE DEMOCRATS.
I feel that it's a pretty convenient way to write off 75% of the voting population that doesn't agree with what our county's VOCAL minorities argue over. If politicians actually gave a sh*t, this Majority of the population would be voting because the politicians would pander to them. But these people wouldn't vote for these politicians, and the politicians know it. So this problem grows and every election more and more people are ALLOWED to sit out of the election because they aren't Red or Blue or even Purple. They do care, they want to do something, they just aren't united enough to know what to do. That's the sad thing: that this Majority doesn't even know it is the Majority, because neither side will address this issue, AND NEITHER WILL THE MEDIA. So next time someone you know says they don't vote, talk to them. Don't lecture them about how they need to pick between the lesser of two evils. Politics shouldn't turn into an argument, it should be a free exchange of Ideas and then the most widely accepted Ideas get implemented. If you don't get your way that shouldn't mean your vote didn't count, it should mean somebody else's Idea was the best of all possible options, according to THE MAJORITY.
If We The People work together maybe we can get an America that really does allow for differences of opinion. If all sides work together we could get a system that works for everyone. BUT NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN OVER NIGHT. IT IS SOMETHING WE ALL NEED WORK AT. The people you don't necessarily agree politically with might have an Idea that is the perfect solution to a problem we need to fix, and you will never hear it because we are all to busy trying to be RIGHT, rather than really trying to solve the problem. Look across the party lines, the socio-economic lines, the lines of religious affiliation, and look at those people and realize that just because they disagree with YOU, it Doesn't make them WRONG. It's called an OPINION because there no right answer and usually there is going to be more than one way to solve any problem, one solution might be a little more cost effective or be a little easier to implement...etc. but you are hurting yourself and everyone else by refusing to admit you could be wrong about an issue, and it's solution. PARTICULARLY IF THE PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
maybe I'm wrong about all of this....
The League of Women Voters did a fine job of holding our elections when I was a kid.
When did we sell the right to privatize our elections, & who got the proceeds?
Who agreed to the use of closed source codes, & why?
I was too busy trying to raise a family after I got back from VietNam, to notice that our elections were being rigged.
