Guidance on Buying a Compressor
I'm finally biting the bullet and getting a compressor. I'm fairly handy, and do projects pretty regularly. On the other hand, I might use the compressor for one project, and not touch it again for a year.
My main interest is in using it for trim. Anything beyond that would be a plus.
I'm trying to trade off size vs. capability vs. price (to include things like nail guns and hoses). A 20 gallon compressor will undoubtedly meet most of my needs, but it'd be a bear to get up from the basement (although perhaps I could keep it in the basement and simply run a long hose).
Any suggestions, either spec-wise or a particular brand/kit? I've heard I should shoot for something with 4.5 cfm, but that seems to require something pretty large.
If it helps, I'm looking in particular at the Porter Cable 3 nail gun kit at Home Depot, which I can get on a special buy for $230 (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...specifications). It's only 2.6 SCFM at 90 psi, however. Is this enough though for my purposes?
Thanks for your help,
Get the big one and run a hose. Those pancake compressors are good for nailing, filling beach balls, and that's about it.
I've used pancake compressors for many many years.
We use them for roofing, trim, framing, flooring nailers with no issues.
There light enough to take right up on the roof with you.
Unless your planing on spray painting, using a jack hammer or some other high CFM tool it will work.
2.5 cfm will be fine for trim---not good for larger guns like framing and roofing---that compressor is LOUD!
I have a 30 gallon upright from Sears, just your basic Craftsman model. It's held up great for me for many years and it's run a variety of tools from nail guns, air ratchets, impact guns, paint sprayers, and DA sanders. I would definitely suggest going for the bigger unit and getting a second hose. Unless you need a portable unit (something you're going to take away from your house), a big unit with long hose will suffice.
I've made do with a little pancake compressor. It's great for filling car and bike tires, inflating balls, cleaning small stuff like spark plug holes and cylinder head bolt holes, and from what I understand, small air tools like staplers and brad nailers. I haven't tried those, as I just got my first air tool not long ago: a palm nailer. However my poor little compressor couldn't keep up with me using it to repair siding and fascia. I could do a few nails, then had to wait for pressure to build back up. This is what happens if your tool requires more CFM than your compressor supplies. I.e., you can run a big CFM tool on a little CFM compressor, but only if you don't mind using your tool in bursts with breaks in between. Using a big air tank with a little compressor lets you work in longer bursts, but then of course requires more time to replenish the tank.
I added a separate 11g tank and if I let the compressor fill it before starting, things worked much better since the tank would let me finish a run and the compressor could mostly catch up before the next run as I was cutting and fitting and caulking etc. Of course then it has to run constantly which probably isn't good for it, but I guess when it dies I can get a slightly bigger one. Don't want a huge one though, too heavy to lug around.
The little guys are LOUD. Use a long air hose so you aren't deafened just by standing next to it. Or if it spends most of it's time in the garage, build an enclosure for it (allow baffles for cooling airflow though).
I bought that 6-gal porter cable a couple months ago and I've been using it for framing and trim. I'm not a contractor though so I don't work very fast but the compressor has had no problems keeping up with me. I also like that it's small enough that I can take it wherever it needs to go without any effort.
It is LOUD when it kicks in though and it scares the bejeezus out of my girlfriend and our 2 cats.
The biggest advantage of the little pancakes is they're portable.
A larger compressor is way more versatile.
What are your priorities?
I bought a 30 gal upright, built a shed around it. When my next-door neighbor needed air to build a shed, he bought me a long hose. Now I have enough hose to reach anywhere. It's great.
yet another opinion, I have same compressor.
I paid $159 at lowes, but did not come with the nail guns.
I am not 100% positive on this and would need to check ... I ask you to check.
There are many tools, I will pick on dewalt cordless drills. They make a home owners series and a contractor series, often only way to tell is the price and the handle is either black or yellow.
Last time I looked, is how dewalt did this.
I believe porter cable does same thing with their compressors.
The clue is the nail guns that come with it, you add the cost up individually and comes to more then what you are paying,
This all sounds good, but in contractor series, you not getting free nail guns.
The compressor sitting on shelf next to it, it is contractor series and cheaper, just saying. Is different quality tools available at the big box stores, check into the exact model number before making a purchase.
First determine what you plan on doing with it if its just trim work and fairly small occasional stuff the pancake should work well. And if you want a little more there is one step up it has a handle on 1 end wheels on the other, and a larger motor and a bigger tank. Still mobile but not quite as much so. Due to the larger tank and all, this is probably the most a homeowner will need, but only you can determine this.
Wow, all great feedback.
Let's see if I can summarize ...
In general, bigger is better (20-30 gallon). To get around the portability issue, use a long hose.
Notwithstanding the above, a pancake probably will do fine, given my interest in using it for trim nailing. If I have heavier needs than trim nailing (e.g., framing), I might end up waiting for the pressure to build back up, but it'll still suffice to get the job done (albeit on an occasional basis; if I was using it day in, day out as in contracting work, it'd probably wear it out pretty quickly). If I don't want to keep interrupting my work, TylerNT suggested looking into buying a separate, larger tank so I could at least do a long run before having to stop.
ToolSeeker suggested looking at the mid-range. I did and I so thought about getting one of these -- particularly since you often can fill a provided smaller tank and take that with you (good for when you want to inflate a tire). Unfortunately, they're out of my price range.:mad:
FunFool pointed out that a manufacturer's offerings may look the same but not be in order to meet a price point. Very good point. Thanks for the heads up -- I'll check into it.
Finally, thanks for alerting me about the noise. Nice to know that whatever I get, it'll be as noisy as everything else, and I won't kick myself over getting something that causes such a racket!
Is the above about right? Any other thoughts?
Not going to do well trying to blow out a sprinkler with it tho...
Great timing on this thread. I'm in the same place.
Except for one thing: I'd love to be able to do my own winterization on our sprinkler system. There's just three zones and not more than 50' of run to any of the heads. This would save me a few $$ / year.
So... while it seems that I'd be fine with a little pancake with a couple gallons for a) bikes / auto tires, b) some finish nailing and occasional frame nailing, but only for small shed projects, etc. c) cleaning small parts and such...
I'm not at all sure it would work for winterizing the sprinkler system. That being said, if I have to go to 20 gal just for this one application, it's not worth it. Maybe 5? Would a 5 gal compressor do it? What HP?
Thanks for any suggestions.
With my little 2g pancake and an add-on 5g tank, I could blow out my very very small sprinkler system no problem. Lonest run was maybe 35' long, though that run needed the whole tank.
So I tried doing a neighbors "real" sprinkler system... no go. Heads didn't even pop up. Utter failure.
Now I have an 11g add-on, which really helps extend working time on my palm nailer. Haven't had an opportunity to try sprinklers with it, though... perhaps others with more experience blowing sprinklers can advise you on the gallons required.
Hmmm... so it sounds like nothing less than 5g would work for 50' in any case. I'll have to consider how big I want to go. Really wanted to keep it to something easy to move around for my typical uses. Now I'm thinking 3g and separate tank for that one task. I'm pretty sure the irrigation company I use is $75 a pop for winterization. So in just four years, that's $300 which should cover cost of lower end gear. (Figure I don't need the best ever for my intermittent use. Then again... I prefer good stuff that lasts so call the payoff 6 years and we're up to $450.)

The Legal Fight Over That Song From 'The Fighter'
If you've seen "The Fighter," you're likely familiar with the inspiring story of boxer Mickey Ward and great acting performances, particularly from Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. Here's something you don't know. The super-catchy, definitely-funky guitar-and-horns riff that serves as the basis for the song, "How You Like Me Now?" played throughout the movie, might be on its way towards being the most litigated few notes of music...ever.
Introducing the sordid legal history of a couple bars of music...
Before The Fighter featured the song "How You Like Me Now?" by the UK indie rock band The Heavy, the song served as the soundtrack to a commercial for Kia Motors that was run during last year's Super Bowl. Here was the spot:
Drive-in Music Company, a small music publisher based in LA, heard the music and thought it sounded familiar.
In 1969, the funk band, Dyke & the Blazers, had its biggest hit, "Let a Woman Be a Woman And A Man Be A Man." The song was written by the band's front-man Arlester Christian. He assigned rights to the song to Drive-in Music Company. Two years later, Christian passed away.
For forty years, Drive-in Music has enjoyed copyright title to the song, but hasn't taken much action. Until very recently.
Soon after the commercial ran, Drive-in Music sued Kia, CBS, the NFL, ad agency David & Goliath, Ninja Tune Records and various other parties for copyright theft.
You be the judge whether the above song sounds familiar to Christian's composition:
Three months after the lawsuit was filed, the parties came to a settlement. Terms weren't disclosed, but we're guessing that the publishers of "How You Like Me Now?" agreed to fork over some royalties and give proper credit. The soundtrack for The Fighter lists the song and one of its co-authors as Arlester Christian.
But the story doesn't end there.
Since the settlement was made, Drive-in Music seems to be emboldened to go after anybody in music history that has somehow sampled or recreated the old Dyke and the Blazer tune. The company has sued dozens of parties including:
-- In July, Drive-in Music sued Sony BMG, Ruthless Records, and others for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the seminal gangster rap hit, "Menace to Society" by the group, Above the Law
-- In August, Drive-in Music sued Capitol Records for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the 1990 rap song, "Diss You" from rapper, King Tee
-- In September, Drive-in Music sued Busta Rhymes, Warner Music, Elektra Entertainment, Atlantic Recording Company and others for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in 1991 old-school hip hop song, "Case of the P.T.A."
-- In September, Drive-in Music sued Universal Music Group, Interscope-Geffen-A&M Group, and Beck Hansen for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the 1997 Beck song "Jack-Ass" from the Odelay album
In fact, just this week, Drive-in Music has filed a second lawsuit over that very same Beck song. The company is going after the publisher, Cyandide Breathmint Music, the Dust Brothers, and various subsidiaries of UMG.
Part of what's amazing about all of these lawsuits is not only a plaintiff going after sampling, a music technique that's technically illegal from a copyright standpoint (depending on the nature of the use) and also something that is rarely pursed. But also, the plaintiff is reaching back 10 and 20 years to pursue alleged copyright infringement we bet most people have forgotten about. If other plaintiffs start suing over sampling, without any time limit, imagine the number of potential lawsuits.
We're not talking about straight lifts either. Here's Beck's "Jack-Ass." See if it sounds any similar to the tunes in the clips above, including the one you may have heard in a recent Oscar contender.

Far more than a documentation of the horrors and banality of the Civil War, John Preston Sheffey's literate and witty writings demonstrate his ardor for battle, his love of Virginia, and his passion in waging a most arduous and suspenseful campaign: to win Josephine Spiller as his wife. Superbly edited by James I. Robertson, Jr., Sheffey's letters are the first published correspondence by a member of the 8th Virginia Cavalry. A native of Marion, Virginia, Sheffey provides an invaluable picture of socio-military affairs in the overlooked western and southwestern regions of the state. His combination of intimate minute-to-minute, day-to-day recording and larger insight into the dynamics of men, terrain, supplies, and protocol make this collection unique. Sheffey's more than ninety letters are a singular source of interest for revealing the paradoxes and tragedies of isolated but vital Civil War skirmishes in southwest Virginia.

Gocong, who played at Cal Poly, led the nation in sacks for the second consecutiv season and racked up 41 sacks over his final two seasons of college ball. The Eagles took him in the third round of the draft after dealing with the Jets to move up and insure themselves of getting Gocong with the 71st overall pick in the draft. The deal meant that the birds had to ship their third rounder and a seventh rounder to the Jets, but they considered the move well worth it to upgrade their beleaguered pass rush.
Bloom has gained somewhat of a rock star status after competing in both the 2002 and 2006 Olympics for the U.S. Ski Team. The Eagles drafted Bloom in the fifth round and view him as a return specialist and as depth on their young receiving corps.
While playing football for Colorado in 2002 and 2003, Bloom earned 2nd-team All-Big Twelve honors as a sophomore and hauled in 22 passes for 356 yards and a touchdown, while averaging 12.0 yards on 24 punt returns (289 yards). He also led the conference that year with 24 kickoff returns for 589 yards (24.5 avg.) and a touchdown.
The Eagles have now signed five of their eight 2006 draft picks.
The Eagles also announced on Wednesday that they have released CB Eddie Canonico.

David T. Little
20>>21 with David T. Little
The music of American composer David T. Little has been described as "dramatically wild…rustling, raunchy and eclectic," showing "real imagination" by New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini, and his work "completely gripped" New Yorker critic Alex Ross: "every bad-ass new-music ensemble in the city will want to play him." Little's highly theatrical, often political work draws upon his experience as a rock drummer, and fuses classical and popular idioms to dramatic effect.
His music has been performed throughout the world—including in Dresden, London, Edinburgh, LA, Montreal, and at the Tanglewood, Aspen, MATA and Cabrillo Festivals—by such performers as the London Sinfonietta, Alarm Will Sound, eighth blackbird, So Percussion, ensemble courage, Dither, NOW Ensemble, PRISM Quartet, the New World Symphony, American Opera Projects, the New York City Opera, the Grand Rapids Symphony and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under Marin Alsop. He has received awards and recognition from The American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Meet The Composer, the American Music Center, the Harvey Gaul Competition, BMI, and ASCAP, and has received commissions from Carnegie Hall, the Baltimore Symphony, the Albany Symphony, the New World Symphony, Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, the University of Michigan, and Dawn Upshaw's Vocal Arts program at the Bard Conservatory.
Recent works include the opera "Dog Days" (Robert Woodruff, director; Royce Vavrek, librettist, based on the short story by Judy Budnitz), "Haunt of Last Nightfall" for Third Coast Percussion, "RADIANT CHiLD" for the New World Symphony, "Conspiracy Theory" for Darcy James Argue'e Secret Society–a new music big band–"CHARM" for the Baltimore Symphony under Marin Alsop, "haunted topography," for Alarm Will Sound, and "Am I Born" for the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Brooklyn Youth Chorus and soprano Mellissa Hughes, under Alan Pierson. Upcoming projects include new works for the London Sinfonietta, Newspeak, cellist Maya Beiser, violist Nadia Sirota, and the Kronos Quartet.
Little is the foundering artistic director and drummer for the amplified chamber ensemble Newspeak. Hailed as "potent" (TheRestIsNoise.com), "innovative" (New York Magazine), and "fierce" (Time Out New York), Newspeak explores the relationship of music and politics, while confronting head-on the boundaries between the classical and the rock traditions. A New Amsterdam Records artist, Newspeak released its first CD of commissioned works in November 2010, to critical acclaim. "You could call this punk classical," one critic proclaimed, noting that the disc is "fearlessly aware, insightfully political (and) resolutely defiant." They have been featured at the Park Avenue Armory, on the Ecstatic Music Festival, and this summer will perform on the Bang On A Can Marathon.
He holds degrees from Susquehanna University (2001) and The University of Michigan (2002) and Princeton University (PhD, 2011), and his primary teachers have included Osvaldo Golijov, Paul Lansky, Steven Mackey, William Bolcom, and Michael Daugherty. He has taught music in New York City through Carnegie Hall's Musical Connections program, served as the inaugural Digital Composer-in-Residence for the UK-based DilettanteMusic.com, and is currently the Executive Director of New York's MATA Festival. He is a member of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP), 2012-2013, NYC, where he is developing a new multi-media theater work, "Artaud in the Black Lodge" with legendary poet Anne Waldman. He was recently appointed to the faculty of Shenandoah Conservatory, where he will serve as the Director of Composition and Coordinator of New Music, beginning in the fall of 2012.
His music is published by Project Schott New York.

Ellison calls out Bachmann for violent rhetoric
by: The Big E
Mon Jan 10, 2011 at 17:00:00 PM CST
In the wake of Jared Loughner killing six and wounding 14 people at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords constituent meeting in Tucson, AZ, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is calling out Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) for her violent rhetoric. Bachmann is well known for her fear-mongering and conspiracy theories.
Here is a sampling of her violent rhetoric:
She called for conservatives to rise up against the our elected government.
She called for conservatives to become armed and dangerous in opposing cap-and-trade legislation.
She claimed that in Washington, DC she feels like a foreign correspondent behind enemy lines.
She urged conservatives at a Colorado speech to slit their wrists in a bizarre blood bond to stop healthcare reform.
She even conflated healthcare reform with the government playing Russian Roulette.
Specifically, Ellison called out her language about being "armed and dangerous" in opposition to a cap and trade bill:
Ellison notes that back in early 2009, his colleague, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., called for Minnesotans to be "armed and dangerous" in response to President Barack Obama's energy plans.
Ellison said that kind of gun imagery doesn't belong in the political discourse.
"The political rhetoric has grown increasingly toxic, and making allusions (to) guns and reloading, and armed and dangerous, certainly contributes to a toxic political environment, and does have consequences," Ellison said.
As the first and most prominent of the two Muslims elected to Congress, Ellison has been the target of a heck of a lot of hate.
Yet hate mail has become almost mundane, said Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. He said he receives it every day.
"We've gotten so immune to it, and it doesn't really rank in terms of priority because it's just so ordinary, so regular," Ellison said. "But we should never let it become ordinary. We should take these things seriously."
#2 Jan 12, 2011
During a radio show on Saturday, Rep. Michele Bachmann described herself as a foreign correspondent on enemy lines in Washington, D.C. The Republican congresswoman went on to tell WWTC-AM:
"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people we the people are going to have to fight back hard if were not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

OH Look now. Big E one of the professional bloggers from Progressive Minnesota AKA Committee for a better minnesota action fund George soros ceo started in the fall of 2010 to have useful idiots like Big E Unseat Michelle Bachmann.
The conservative 6th wouldn't buy into the Hit rhetoric of the Soros flunkees and Comrade Clark got sent to a Goulag for re- indoctrination.
Big E. an acronym for Big Exploiter and simple theif of posters names that oppose the politics of Useful idiots.
Definatly of the criminal element, Twististicks and diverson of others statements is very clever , but stupid. Representative bachmann wants her constutuents armed with knoledge of the enemies plans and Armed with facts. sorry instigator But people with an I.Q higher than the diseased intellect of a progressive socialist knows exactly what and why the representative made the statement,
Your post only underscores her statement.
Ewe and your george soros Van jones Communists have spewed more vitrol in the last few days than Reverand wright has done in his short Career.

Bachmann supporting Iranian group State Dept labels as terrorist
by: The Big E
Thu Jan 13, 2011 at 19:00:00 PM CST
Ken Avidor over at Dump Bachmann found a gem concerning Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). It appears she is providing material support for a terrorist organization. Or at least that the US State Department labels this group a terrorist organization. Specifically, Bachmann wants the People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI) removed from the list of terrorist organizations. However, this advocacy on PMOI's behalf is itself illegal.
The relevent bit starts at 8:30 into the vid.
Is this support for PMOI in the same vein as the Minneapolis residents who have been subpoenaed to appear in Chicago for providing material support to a terrorist organization? Or does the law apply differently to elected officials?
And doesn't she often spew conspiracy theories about Democrats colluding with terrorists? Seems a wee bit hypocritical for her to now get busted providing material support for a terrorist organization.

The takeaway from President Obama's brilliant, poignant speech at Wednesday night's memorial at the University of Arizona in Tucson was, "We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us." The tone of his message, his raw emotion, the compassion for the victims and their families, and the genuine concern he showed for the nation exemplified great leadership, and was in stark contrast to the bizarre, self-serving video that his potential 2012 opponent, Sarah Palin, released earlier in the day.
"At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized - at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do - it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds," the president said.
To be sure, the 2012 presidential election will indeed be about healing. There'll be much focus on how Obama united the nation in the aftermath of Jared Loughner's murderous rampage, and how Palin's true character prevented her from doing the same. It it is precisely this sanctimonious, defiant and soulless video sermon that history will one day point to as the end of her legitimate political career.
Palin was right about one thing: it's unfair and inaccurate to blame her toxic political rhetoric for the Tucson shooting. But this week she quite foolishly and voluntarily gave us something we can 100% blame her for. Her behavior, tone and overall message in the video was beyond comprehension. Not only does it demonstrate a pathological narcissism, but a supreme ignorance of history (the unfortunate "Blood Libel" reference); a shocking lack of empathy, sensitivity and compassion; a reprehensible use of the words "blood," "pistols" and "shooting" to accent her points; and outrageously offensive timing in terms of releasing it on the same day as the memorial. One has to ask, just what on Earth was she thinking? Did she really expect this 8-minute diatribe to show humility and repair her image? To help heal a shocked and grieving nation?
Over the past three years, many have suggested that Palin's odd behavior and statements constitutes a train wreck. But in a train wreck there first needs to be the actual crash. To date, despite moments of near-derailment, Palin's stayed on track. But with this video she has finally crashed, and crashed for good. She cannot and will not recover from this politically. Oh sure, she will continue to be a national hero to the ravenous, ignorant right-wing fringe crazies who account for a minuscule percentage of the Republican Party, but on a serious national level, as a presidential candidate, she just imploded.

Conservatives try to defend Bachmann's rhetoric
by: The Big E
Fri Jan 14, 2011 at 18:00:00 PM CST
-- Defending the indefensible is tough --
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is under the spotlight nationally for her violent rhetoric. Many on the left are criticizing the tone that she and many others use. Paul Krugman is the latest in his column for the NY Times.
Where's that toxic rhetoric coming from? Let's not make a false pretense of balance: it's coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It's hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be "armed and dangerous" without being ostracized; but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.
Bachmann's conservative defenders weren't going to let this slight pass. They called Krugman of all kinds of unmentionable things, but the only substantial accusation is he took her out of context.
Her defenders aren't the sharpest spoons in the knife drawer. Here's the entire context:
But you can get all the latest information on this event, this ... a must-go-to event with this Chris Horner. People will learn ... it will be fascinating. We met with Chris Horner last week, 20 members of Congress. It takes a lot to wow members of Congress after a while. This wowed them. And I am going to have materials for people when they leave. I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people--we the people--are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States and that's why I want everyone to come out and hear. So go to bachmann.house.gov and you can get all the information.
So wait -- your defense of Bachmann is that, in the context of urging her followers to be "armed and dangerous," she immediately proceeded to extol the benefits of armed revolution? This is supposed to be exculpatory? I think it's a perfect example of the right's hysteria directly legitimizing violence.

On Guns: Tucson Shows Two Visions of America
Dennis A. Henigan.Brady Center Vice President and Author of "Lethal Logic"
Posted: January 14, 2011 11:41 AM
The gun issue confronts us with two competing visions of America. The Tucson tragedy puts those visions in stark, clarifying relief.
The gun lobby's vision is guns in every corner of American society. The National Rifle Association wants guns in more American homes. It wants more guns on the streets, in grocery stores, in restaurants, in coffee houses, in bars, in churches, at workplaces, at political events, and on college campuses. Guns everywhere, to deter criminals from attacking and to shoot back when they do.
Arizona is fast becoming the quintessential realization of this vision. Arizona has virtually no restrictions on guns (the Brady Center gives it 2 points out of a possible 100 in its state law ratings) and the state recently became the third state to allow people to carry concealed weapons in public places without a permit. The state also recently allowed concealed carriers to take their guns into bars.
Have weak gun laws made Arizonans safer? The state ranks 6th in the nation in gun deaths. FBI data indicates it ranks 13th in homicides per 100,000 population. Arizona criminals don't appear to be cowering in fear of armed, law-abiding citizens. Arizona also has become a favorite source of lethal weaponry for the Mexican drug cartels. Three Arizona gun dealers are among the top 12 American dealers in supplying Mexican crime guns.
Indeed, Arizona's gun laws are so non-existent that it was entirely legal for Jared Loughner to be carrying his Glock outside that Tucson Safeway up until the moment he pulled the trigger. He actually was one of the "law-abiding citizens" the NRA thinks is making us safer by carrying concealed weapons where we live, work and shop. If Loughner's community college, which expelled him because he was thought too dangerous to be in class, had reported his behavior to the Tucson police, Arizona law allowed them to do nothing to prevent him from carrying a concealed weapon.
All those Arizonans packing heat did not prevent the carnage in Tucson. There was, in fact, a law-abiding citizen with a gun on the scene at that Safeway. He told Ed Schultz he got to the shooter after someone else had grabbed the gun from the shooter's hands and he initially thought the hero was the shooter. In the NRA's America, where everyone has a gun, it is tough to tell the good guys from the bad.
Most Americans support a very different vision of America. It is a nation that allows responsible citizens to have guns in the home for self-defense, but imposes reasonable restrictions on guns to make it harder for dangerous people to be armed. In this America, a Jared Loughner would not be permitted to legally carry a gun to a Tucson Safeway. And he would not have available to him ammunition magazines that allowed him to fire over 30 shots from a semi-automatic without the need to reload, firepower that one law enforcement official has said "increased the lethality and body count of this attack."

Bachmann campaign manager Parrish proposed a "womb tax" to curb abortion; wrote that "life for the left begins at taxation"You can tell a lot about a person by the people they associate themselves with.
In the case of Michele Bachmann, we can tell a lot about her by the person she hired to run her campaign, Andy Parrish. Through the immense help of a source at UW-River Falls, Parrish's alma mater, I have obtained a stack of materials pertaining to Parrish's days on campus, which were filled with controversy, to say the least.
I will be writing about Parrish more in the upcoming weeks. Suffice it to say that there's enough here to keep me entertained for a looooong time.
Parrish wrote columns for the UWRF student newspaper, The Student Voice, for at least the 2003-2004 school year. Unfortunately, the newspaper's online archive only dates to October, 2004, but I have photocopies of some of his columns from the newspaper archives at River Falls. Once I get access to a scanner, I will post images of the columns so that you can all enjoy them as much as I have. The following are excerpts from a column Parrish wrote on November 21st, 2003, entitled "Left might think right with womb tax."
I have come to the conclusion that, for [liberals] life does not begin at conception, life for the left begins at taxation... Since liberals believe that life does not begin until they can tax you, I thought it my duty to educate [them.]
Parrish then proceeds to give readers advice on how to "be your own abortionist" (direct quote) and gives an extremely graphic description of a home abortion.(Isn't this an argument for legal and safe abortions?) He then continues,
Some people argue that this new partial birth abortion ban takes away their right to play God and choose who lives and dies based on convenience. I have this to say to the anti-life crowd. I am not taking away anyone's choice over their own reproductive life. They already chose when they engaged in sexual intercourse. Here is my solution to this life debacle.
If we tax the baby--we'll say property tax--for occupying the mother's womb, the left will fight to keep the baby alive instead of fighting to abort it. Then they can receive more money for-we'll say education beacuse there isn't enough spent there already--then maybe, just maybe, the left would acknowledge the fact that this fetus is more than just a fetus: It is a human life.
If you still want to try partial birth abortions on your own, happy abortioning. Support our troops, support our president and have a great conservative day.
His trademark is ending every column with the "have a great conservative day" line.
I also have a page of letters to the editor criticizing Parrish's insensitive, inaccurate, and inflammatory column. I will quote one of the letters:
This article is more of a shallow attack and a cheap attempt to demonize liberals at the expense of a valid issue. Your points about taxing the baby to get liberal support are about as dumb as saying [R]epublicans would support it if they got a tax break... When given a chance to provide a piece on why we need to deal with these issues, Andy chose instead rhetoric and baseless attacks. Talking about what type of limits for the life and health of the mother would have been a far better issue.
Hmm... rhetoric and baseless attacks rather than an attempt to deal with the issues? That description also fits Andy's boss, Michele Bachmann, to a T.
So, where does Michele Bachmann stand on the "womb tax" that her campaign manager proposed less than three years ago?
Keep checking back for more Andy Parrish Antics.

Yup, Bachmann's "base" just loves it when the "The Sarah Palin of the lower 48" talks about "guns and babies":

I take exception to you saying Bachmann influences anything. According to Lefties all over, she is a nut job from a tiny rural District in a State that is part of fly over land.
Now when the Leader of the Free World, President Barack Obama, says: "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun, Obama said in Philadelphia.Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl." THAT is when people listen.
Who has more impact? The nut job on the Right? Or the Leader of the Free World who happens to be a Leftie?
#19 Jan 15, 2011
So at least we can all agree that Ellison is an over-the-top liberal idiot has has no business being in public office save his rabid support by lefty extremists and public dole rummaging hogs.
#20 Jan 15, 2011
Quit being defensive and learn from others' mistakes. Simply don't say anything about an opponent that will kill your career if some kook assassinates your opponent.
Part of being a politician is being careful of what one says. Pawlenty has learned this, Bachmann has not, and Ellison is somewhere in between. Even Obama slips up now and then.

Glenn Beck's Campaign Against Frances Fox Piven
As discussion about whether violent rhetoric influenced the shooting in Arizona this past weekend continues, Frances Fox Pivenprofessor, Nation writer and author, most recently, of Challenging Authority: How Ordinary People Change Americajoined Democracy Now! to talk about Glenn Becks suggestion that she has plotted violent overthrow of the US government, bears responsibility for the financial crisis and is comparable to the right-wing Hutaree militia.
Piven says that right wing operatives recently visited her home to interview her for a video that would be part of their term paper." The "operatives" turned out to both be individuals working for Andrew Breitbarts blog. According to Piven, Beck picked her (and her late husband, Richard Cloward) because she wrote a little article for The Nation last year talking about the problems in organizing the unemployed, so the unemployed can have an impact in American politics.
Unnerved by these Beckheads but not afraid, Piven concludes that Glenn Beck does not deserve to be singled out. For Piven, Rupert Murdoch has done much more to create an atmosphere in which Beck's rhetoric is accepted, and has taken advantage of the tragedy "to create a demonology in which it is the left, the Democratic left, that is the source of many of our troubles.

East Hawaii News — Huhu Regarding Papaikou Mill Beach Access
(Editor's Note: Â Accompanying this story by Tiffany Edwards Hunt that appears in today's edition of the Big Island Weekly are two others, including information about public access and additional photos taken at the Friday, May 14, 2010 protest. Previous references to the Papaikou Mill beach access controversy are here and here.)
Charlene Prickett says her friends are going to make her a T-shirt that on the front reads "FHB — F-g haole bitch, the lady at the end of the street,†and on the back, "My friends call me Charlene.â€
Prickett is trying to use humor to cope with the fact that she is at the center of growing controversy over access to the beach fronting the now-defunct Onomea mill — commonly referred to as the old Papaikou Mill.  "I've been called f-g haole so many times, it's hard to remember the one time.â€
Prickett and her architect husband Jim Waugh for 17 years have owned the land that includes the old Onomea Mill in Papaikou.
Throughout their ownership, the couple has allowed beachgoers to traverse their property and, in 2002, created the switchback trail that is used today. Â Prickett explained that when the couple bought their property nearly two decades ago, there was no trail. Â Beachgoers went through a hole in the fence bordering their property and made their way through the decrepit mill, climbing down to the beach on a rickety ladder. Waugh, having taken his family down to the beach through this makeshift and sketchy route, vowed to improve the access.
But in the eight years since the trail's completion, Prickett and Waugh have felt more resentment and hostility than they have gratitude and appreciation.  "There's this belief that it's not our land, it's not our trail, it's not our right,†said Prickett.
She and her husband have been called names and been threatened, had their gate bashed, trees cut, and vegetation along the trail hacked.  The couple has also been burglarized, and the small parking area at the entrance of the couple's property was so notorious for vehicle break-ins that a community policing officer and deputy prosecutor recommended the couple do away with parking there altogether. Â
Today boulders prevent any parking for the beach whatsoever.  The beat-up gate fronting the property belonging to Prickett and Waugh is plastered with signage indicating, "No dogs,†"no bicycles,†and other expectations for traversing their property.  Read more →

Remember those times when there weren't enough parts in the school play, so you or your classmates were forced to be a tree in the background? No lines. No real plots. Just the proverbial swaying tree. We've been there, and it kinda blew. So that's why we wanna create an entire Hottie of the Week edition dedicated to those background dudes. The ones who usually take a backseat to the other male characters on their TV show. Don't they deserve some face time, too?
So forget all the Damons and Stefans, Finns and Pucks. This is for the hotties you didn't even know you were missing out on…
Mike Chang on Glee (Harry Shum Jr.)
C'mon, wouldn't you like to see more of his
abs muscles body dancing on the show?
Mike Montgomery on Pretty Little Liars (Cody Christian)
With guys like Ezra and Caleb walking around, it's hard for Aria's little bro to stand out.
He's still pretty darn cute though, don'tchya think?
Matt Donovan on The Vampire Diaries (Zach Roerig)
How could Elena possibly break up with this guy??
Is it just 'cause he's a medium and not a vamp? Lame.
Jack Pappas on The Secret Life of the American Teenager (Greg Finley)
Every ep's all about Ricky and Ben. Ben and Ricky.
But honestly, Jack's def hotter than at least one of those dudes.
Stan Stilinsky on Teen Wolf (Dylan O'Brien)
Stiles is so supportive of his werewolf bestie, Scott, and looks mighty fine when he's dripping wet.
Is it too much to ask that he get more time on the air?
Justin Miller on The Lying Game (Randy Wayne)
Justin got burned by GF Laurel, so we don't even know how much longer he'll be around.
All we gotta say is that he better win her back somehow. We're obsessed with his baby blues!
Lee LaBeque on The Secret Circle (Grey Damon)
Lee hasn't been a part of TSC for very long, so he can't outshine Adam and Jake… yet.
Dez on Austin & Ally (Calum Worthy)
Admit it, your eyes immediately go to Austin (Ross Lynch!) when you watch A&A.
But Dez isn't too shabby himself — just give him a chance!
Jerome Clarke on House of Anubis (Eugene Simon)
Not to completely diss Mick & Fabian,
but Jerome's so much more fun to
gawk at watch on HoA.
Liam Court on 90210 (Matt Lanter)
Hello! Liam takes a modeling job (before that motorcycle accident).
That means he's the ultimate eye candy!
Which of these "trees" is the sexiest? Are there any other background TV guys you want others to notice? Vote in the poll, then raise your voice in the comments!

UPDATE 2-Bird flu breaks out in Romania, near Ukraine
* EU executive reports Romanian H5N1 flu outbreak
* Romania confirms, awaits UK laboratory tests
* Exclusion zone enforced across 20 km
* Wild bird migration routes could spread virus
(Adds Romanian comment, background)
By Pete Harrison and Radu Marinas
BRUSSELS/BUCHAREST, March 16 (Reuters) - Romania has identified an outbreak of bird flu at a poultry farm close to Ukraine and enforced a 20 km-wide surveillance zone around it, the European Union's executive said on Tuesday.
The outbreak of the H5N1 virus in the commune of Letea near the Ukrainian border is on a key migratory pathway for wild birds, which could aid its spread.
"Romania's national laboratory confirmed yesterday that the outbreak concerns the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of avian influenza," the European Commission said in a statement. Continued...

Taking Care of My Anxiety & Depression
by, 01-22-2011 at 06:40 AM (9661 Views)
The Steps I am doing to Take Care of Myself & Deal with Anxiety & My Depression
I don't want to depend on chemical prescriptions because I did those before and it made me dependent on drugs. Besides, the side effects were not pretty.
After I educate myself about the anxiety and its connection to my digestion, I begin to list down my anxiety attacks and realize that all of them were related to my stomach. They happened after meals. I realize that something needs to be done regarding this.
These are the things I did this week and they helped me a lot coping with my anxiety and depression it causes me:
1. Take care of myself, eat & sleep on time every day. Get plenty of rest & good sleep every night.
2. Manage my meals. I avoid eating until I am stuffed because that can trigger anxiety attack.
3. Plan my daily menu & snacks. Avoid eating until late because it can build up gas & acid and cause acid reflux for me (trig erring anxiety).
4. Take supplements : B complex, magnesium, iron & multivitamin. Also take enzyme tablets with my meals especially when eating out to avoid anxiety attacks.
5. Drink apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp in 200 ml water) 3 times a day with meals to prevent heartburn.
6. Declutter my room. A friend told me that living in a messy cluttered place can make anxiety become worse. (I did major cleaning and decluterring yesterday!)
I have been taking the supplements and getting plenty of rest also managing my lifestyle since 4 days ago after reading a lot about anxiety and educating myself. I find a relief and i think it's working for me.
Anyone here also coping with anxiety? Please share your stories & methods/tips. Also we can discuss here and support each other here. Anxiety sucks and if left untreated, it can damage our lives but I believe that with proper management and education, treatment & nutrition, also sharing & support, anxiety can be managed and we can become productive individuals again.

Nice for gift giving
By Annie
from Quebec
I bought this for a gift but I will have to get another one to give since I kinda smelled it and put a little bit of each perfume on. They all smell great and the packaging is fabulous. This line is very classy and is easy to give as gifts. So I recomend you buy 2 and multipack.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
poor packaging
By Barbara
from Northern Ontario
As others have said, my packaging came broken.Went back today. The glass botles hit against each other and break. Not impressed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Broken upon arrival
By Miss Cheevious
from Saskatoon
Upon great anticipation, the Royal Coffret selection arrived broken. I wish the packaging reflected the fragile nature of these 4 little glass bottles.After I opened it, I realized that the overpowering scent and pieces of chipped glass would not reflect a true scent of the individual pieces. The customer care team instructed me how to return the package and that it would be replaced.I hope that the replacement package arrives in one piece as the packaging is such that all four bottles bang into each other across Canada. Let's hope it survives the trip this time so I can give it a better review next time!

Weather Service seeking volunteers to report precip amounts in Big Horn, Wind, & Upper Green river basins, Johnson & Lincoln counties
(Riverton, Wyo.) – The National Weather Service Forecast office in Riverton has issued an appeal for volunteers. "We need You! Join the CoCoRaHS precipitation observing team," was the key message posted by the NWS-RIW team.
What is CoCoRaHS?
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, & Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) is a nationwide volunteer reporting network that provides precipitation measurements for natural resource, education and research applications. The National Weather Service uses CoCoRaHS precipitation data daily in river forecast models, flood and drought forecasts, and precipitation and snowfall maps and tables.
CoCoRaHS (pronounced co-co-raws) allows observers to share their precipitation measurements via the Internet, which can be used by agencies who need accurate, real-time precipitation data for various purposes. The only equipment needed to join CoCoRaHS is a standard 4″ diameter plastic rain gage (provided upon sign up) and access to the Internet to enter reports. Observers can report precipitation daily or only on days when they are able to take measurements. CoCoRaHS observers can also send real-time severe weather reports to the National Weather Service (NWS); including hail size, flooding, storm damage, and excessive rainfall, which greatly assist meteorologists in determining the impact of storms on local communities.
Due to Wyoming's expansiveness, the CoCoRaHS network is an invaluable tool for the NWS and other state and federal agencies to help fill-in the gaps due to a lack of available observation sites. This shortfall is mitigated by volunteers from across the state. Precipitation, in both winter and summer, can have wide ranging values. The more people reporting these data can greatly assist the NWS in providing better forecasts and warnings. Volunteers are welcome from across the state, but currently we could use more people from Big Horn, Washakie and Johnson counties, portions of Fremont county, specifically the Riverton and Dubois areas, portions of Lincoln county in the Alpine and Kemmerer areas, and around Pinedale in Sublette County.
–National Weather Service, Riverton

What do you remember most about your high school graduation? What challenges do you think today's graduates face that weren't there when you graduated? What advantages do they have that you didn't? What's the best piece of advice you got when you graduated from high school? What advice would you have for this year's graduates?
Talk Amongst Yourselves is shawneemissionpost.com's daily conversation starter for northeast Johnson County. Have a topic you'd like to suggest?

With anticipation continually building for the upcoming Smash games, I can't seem to get the series off my mind. One of the things that stood out to me the most in Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was how great the stages were looking. I always love the variety of all the different stage designs, and I think we can all agree that the stage is an important element of the game. It's where the magic happens, so to speak. So I'm going to count down my favorites, but first, an important note: I did not consider Battlefield or Final Destination for my list. The emphasis of these stages is clearly on the fighting rather than the atmosphere, and for the purposes of the list, I thought focusing on the latter was the way to go.
What's not to like about a Majora's Mask stage? The game may not get a lot of love from Nintendo anymore, but it really did make for a great Smash Bros. stage. Great Bay is just a really cool area in the game, and it was awesome to see so many elements from the game incorporated into the stage. And of course, it was still ever so satisfying to pop Tingle's balloon.
Corneria's pretty straightforward, and I would say most people consider it a classic at this point. It provides a great backdrop for the commotion taking place, and it of course had some great music to help set the mood.
As you'll see, I'm a fan of stages that feature the tops of buildings. For some reason, it always makes things feel just a little more interesting than when you're fighting on solid ground. Saffron City has the right mix of platforms and pitfalls, and the Pokemon popping out of the building every so often helped to keep things fresh.
I'm also never opposed to stages that have a water element. Pirate Ship had plenty of that, and the Wind Waker visual style was really cool to see in the context of a Smash Bros. game. I was also a fan of how dynamic this stage was. The fighting on its own is certainly always enough action, but I like when the stage moves and changes along with you. This stage is a perfect example of that.
The original Super Smash Bros. had a pretty limited stage selection, but to me, this is the one that always stood out. Maybe it's my love for Zelda, but when I play this game, I'm always itching to spend some time here at Hyrule Castle. Just like Corneria, this is a good example of a stage that doesn't interfere with the actual fighting, but provides an interesting enough setting to make you want to come back for more.
My one complaint with the other DK stages (minus that abomination Rumble Falls) is that they're dark, so it can be hard to make out what's going on sometimes, not to mention it's harder to appreciate the backdrop in the case of Jungle Japes. This stage solves those issues, and throws in a waterfall for good measure. With a decent number of platforms, there are a few different ways to approach fights here, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
What I love about Smashville is the scenery. All the different characters watching the action, the village below you, the changing time of day depending on when you play.. nothing interferes with the actual gameplay, but it helps to enhance the setting nonetheless. It just looks good, too, with all the colors and whatnot. Being so straightforward, it's not always the most interesting stage to fight on, but as a huge Animal Crossing fan, seeing the various elements of the series they incorporated into the stage is what makes this one great for me.
Here we are back on some rooftops. I just love the backdrop of the big city, and I always liked to imagine a bustling world down below, oblivious to the action taking place high above. This is another stage that is simply pleasing to the eye, and with a number of different platforms, the fighting stays fresh. Great music always helps, too.
I may have never played Earthbound, but the series is responsible for two awesome Smash Bros. stages. Contrary to Fourside, I love the quaint feel of a quiet town as the setting for this particular stage. The subtle dynamic elements are all ones I've really enjoyed, as they truly add to the experience. And again, the music is top notch; one of my favorite themes found anywhere in the Smash Bros. franchise.
Some may criticize this stage for being too big, but I think the size adds to the charm in this particular case. There are just so many options here, so many ways to approach the fight. Not to mention, it looks great, too; it really is a spectacle to take in when it's fully zoomed out. Perhaps most importantly, I have a lot of memories playing on this stage, as it was a popular choice when playing against friends and family. Maybe that's not the most critical way of evaluating stages, but it has certainly been a contributing factor to my enjoyment of not only this stage, but every stage on this list. Multiplayer is what Smash is all about, and for me, these stages have resulted in the most fun, most intense matches.
Honorable Mentions: Yoshi's Island, Jungle Japes, Fountain of Dreams, Halberd, Delfino Plaza, Mute City, Pokemon Stadium (either one)
And there you have it! With so many stages to choose from, I know I left out some great ones, but I hope you enjoyed what I did include! Feel free to share some of your own favorite stages. I'd love to hear 'em!

Archie Manning on Raising Two Super Bowl Champs
I didn't want to be one of these pushy daddies. I'm as proud as the next guy, but I've always been a little skeptical of the daddies who walk around talking about what great athletes their kids are. This is probably because I played athletics. I had played here in New Orleans for the Saints, and I retired here. At the time we were the only game in town. I was worried about that, too; I didn't want [my sons] to be singled out. We went to school board meetings, we went to Little League games, and we did everything to be normal.
Cooper was the first one. He wasn't, you know, a blue-chip, four-star recruit at wide receiver. He was more marginal. He probably wound up with about seven or eight offers. He wanted to play college football but unfortunately had some spinal cord trouble and had to give it up. Cooper and Peyton—they played a lot of ball. If they ever asked me to play catch with them, I went. But they kind of had to ask. I wasn't trying to raise professional quarterbacks. Eli came along five years later. Having those first two, two years apart, you can imagine all of the Little League games and basketball games.
As for Eli, we kind of dragged him around. I always told Olivia [my wife]: "This child is not going to want to play sports." But he just followed the same path as Peyton. The same sports, the same position. Then a lot of folks started coming around, recruiting Eli, too. I didn't really know how good they were until it was confirmed by the colleges.
The first time Peyton and Eli played against each other was the [NFL] opening game of 2006. It turned into a pretty big deal. They called it "the Manning Bowl." And I thought the boys did a wonderful job of playing that down and making it the Giants vs. the Colts. They didn't compete when they were little like Cooper and Peyton did, because there was a five-year gap. They handled it really well, but it was tough on me and Olivia. Naturally, the cameras were on us. And we kept saying that we were just "pulling for the offense."
We're really excited for the Giants and Eli this year. They had some problems this season, but they hung in and got hot at the end. We kind of pinch ourselves. A lot of the last six years, we've had a child play in the Super Bowl. — As told to Keenan Mayo

If You Have Dry Skin...
Blame the flakiness―along with the redness and itchiness―on your skin's barrier layer, which doesn't retain natural oils or water as well as it should.
The Best Regimen
- To keep your complexion quenched and healthy, use cleansers and creams with emollient ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
- Skip foaming face washes, since they strip away lipids, and avoid anything containing harsh retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids, says Fran Cook-Bolden, a dermatologist in New York City.
- If your skin is very flaky or peeling, try a face oil under your moisturizer―it will smooth out your skin.

All businesses has their own specific goals, faces their own unique challenges and requires their own type of business support.
It is not an easy task to develop and manage our brand, take a firm hand on our finances, manage our IT infrastructure and hundreds of other responsibilities that contributes to the smooth operation of our business. In order to succeed, we have to find brilliant people to support and enhance our business.
You can hire people and begin expounding your own team of trained professionals; or you could hire somebody who has already developed his own team of skilled professionals working on definite responsibilities based on their unique skills; or if you require people working for you at your beck and call 24/7, your best option is to hire a bigger entity that has a pool of excellent virtual assistants to provide a reliable, efficient and flexible virtual business support service for your company, such as:
While tasks handled by virtual administrators such as data entry, travel arrangements, scheduling and other administrative works are not the core of business activities, they are however, vital for a business to properly function, and .
Customer Service
Especially for product-based companies, it is more efficient to outsource talented virtual salespersons than it is to maintain a qualified support staff. Their skills can be utilized to handle clients and close sales.
There are a number of financial functions that can be outsourced:
- Accounting – Talented virtual accountants can do the planning, accountability, projections, and budgeting for you.
- Payroll – Preparing payroll is tedious and is one of the common areas to commit an error. To help eradicate potential mistakes, bring in a virtual expert to help your business set up or maintain your payroll system.
- Quickbooks – If you opt to use this software, you can seek the help of a virtual accountant with the initial setup, training on how to use the software and a walk-through in the preparation of year-end processes.
- Tax Preparation – Hire a virtual accountant to do your taxes for you so and gain a reliable source for guidance throughout to keep you on track.
- Bookkeeping – Who better to create, take care and keep track of your business' financial transactions, organize your records like receipts, invoices, tax payments, and many more contingent to the complexity of your business – than the experts?
- Small Business Startup – To set your business up for success, you have to start right. Having an expert to guide you through the process is the best move.
An expert can often provide an outside perspective that you or your marketing staff cannot. To improve marketing, you can hire professional writers who can develop higher-quality, polished content. Other marketing strategies that are good to outsource are website design, brand development, press releases and online marketing duties such as social media, blogging and search engine optimization.
Regardless of your industry, you may be a dentist in Boise, Idaho, or maybe you and your partners are medical malpractice lawyers in Washington DC, no matter, why would you attempt to do something in-house that you are not trained to do? It makes no sense! As in the law firm example, taking on your own digital marketing strategy in-house would be a bit like accepting cases for divorce law, when your specialty is medical malpractice. The point? Stick to what you do best – practice law and hire the marketing experts to handle your digital marketing approach.
Information Technology (IT)
An in-house IT operations can be exceptionally expensive. Aside from that, unless you are an IT company, average business has inadequate ability and knowledge to be able to manage all of its IT needs. The prospective benefits of outsourcing IT tasks is huge.
Human Resources
Hiring an HR or employment service to manage employee benefits is a wise move, since they are always up-to-date on employment laws and standards. Apart from that, when it comes to hiring staff, they are more skilled at advertising, screening suitable applicants and checking references.
If you are looking to hire an excellent outsourcing company through recommendations, get a referral from someone you know and trust. It is a dependable measure of quality.

New Delhi, Jan 2: Has the Supreme Court taken literal meaning of Gujarat Lokayukta Act and set a dangerous precedent? It seems like Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has been done in by a drafting error.
Governor Kamla Beniwal had on August 25, 2011 appointed Justice Mehta to the post as Lokayukta, which had been lying vacant for the last eight years. However, the Gujarat state government had opposed the appointment on the grounds that the governor did not act as per the advice of the council of ministers.
The contentious Section 3 in the Lokayukta act of Gujarat says that "Provided that the Lokayukta shall be appointed after consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court and except where such appointment is to be made at a time when the Legislative Assembly of the State of Gujarat has been dissolved or a Proclamation under Article 356 of the Constitution is in operation in the State of Gujarat, after consultation also with the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, or if there be no such Leader, a person elected in this behalf by the members of the Opposition in that House in such manner as the Speaker may direct."
The section does not provide that any consultation has to be made with the Chief Minister, and that seems to be the error committed by the person who drafted the law. The Chief Minister is the Head of the Council of Ministers. Article 163 of the Constitution of India provides that the Council of Ministers is to aid and advice the Governor in the exercise of all his functions, with some exceptions. Therefore, the Chief Minister as the Head of the Council of Ministers should figure in the matter of appointment of Lokayukta under section 3 of the Act.
However, there is no ambiguity in the law enacted by the Karnataka government.
Appointment of Lokayukta under Karnataka Lokayukta Act
(1) For the purpose of conducting investigations and enquiries in accordance with the provisions of this Act, the Governor shall appoint a person to be known as the Lokayukta and one or more persons to be known as the Upalokayukta or Upalokayuktas.
(2) (a) A person to be appointed as the Lokayukta shall be a person who has held the office of a Judge of the Supreme Court or that of the Chief Justice of a High Court and shall be appointed on the advice tendered by the Chief Minister in consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court of Karnataka, the Chairman, Karnataka Legislative Council, the Speaker, Karnataka Legislative Assembly, the Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council and the Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly.
Since there is no clear role for the chief minister in the Gujarat the Supreme Court said that the governor was bound to act under advice of Council of Ministers but in this case the appointment wasn't wrong since it was done in consultation with the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court.
Why Gujarat opposed appointment of Lokayuta
The appointment had acquired a political hue with Narendra Modi writing a letter to the Gujarat High Court opposing the appointment of Mehta, saying that he was prejudiced against the government and that he was too old to take office. Modi has openly opposed decisions by the Gujarat governor in the past.
SC was fair in removing remarks against Modi
The Supreme Court today has agreed to expunge the critical remarks made against the Gujarat Chief Minister. Justice VM Sahai of Gujarat High Court had slammed Modi for creating a constitutional crisis and held that the Governor had the discretionary power to make the appointment.
He had said the "pranks" played by the Chief Minister on the Lokayukta issue "demonstrates deconstruction of our democracy".
In its appeal to the Supreme Court, the Gujarat state government had contended that the personal discretion exercised by the Governor in unilaterally issuing the warrant of appointment of Lokayukta was "unwarranted."
It had also objected to the use of "very harsh expressions and language" against Modi by the High Court and had sought removal of those remarks.
Gujarat did try to appoint lokayukta
The last Lokayukta was relinquished the office 24.11.2003 and no steps were taken to fill the vacancy till 6.8.2006. However, the process of appointment of Lokayukta was initiated by Modi on 7.8.2006. The governor issued the impugned warrant of appointment appointing Justice (Retd.) R. A. Mehta as Lokayukta on 26.11.2011.

Parent company: Lornamead
Woods of Windsor brand of fragrances comes from a small apothecary opened in 1770, located in the shadow of Windsor Castle, a medieval castle in the English county of Berkshire. The apothecary became very respected due to its services to the Royal Family.
The story begins when a fascinating collection of archived perfume recipes, old texts, prescription books and medical artifacts were found in the attic of the Windsor store, during a renovation in 1970s. Due to these fragrance recipes, Woods of Windsor name was revived and the new range of signature English floral fragrances was created using the old formulations. In just a few years, Woods of Windsor got its place at Harrods and Liberty department stores.
Woods of Windsor launched their first collection of men's fragrances in 1981, inspired by a formulation that was originally used to scent Spanish leather. In 1983, the brand won the Queen's Award for Export. By 1985 these fragrances were exporting to 40 countries worldwide. The brand today still respects its rich heritage, remaining innovative yet classical, still using the original apothecary in Windsor as the company's flagship store and headquarters.
Designer Woods of Windsor has 11 perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 1974 and the newest is from 2014.
