It's Jaeger For Kate In Solomons, William Suggests Piglets Be Named "Will and Kate"
The Jubilee Tour continued today, with Prince William and Kate taking part in multiple events in Honiara, the capitol of the Solomon Islands.
This morning William and Kate paid a call on the Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet. While there they were presented with traditional necklaces, CNN's Max Foster shared a picture of the duo wearing their official gifts from the Prime Minister.
Max also tweeted a picture of the necklace given to Kate, the intricate beading work spells out "Princess Kate SIG 2012," Max noted that "official titles aren't everything".
William and Kate then spent time at a cultural village in Honiara, Edwina Bartholomew of 7News Sydney posted this photo, showing Kate and William meeting residents and learning more about the community.
Kate and William were familiarized with the nine provinces that make up the Solomon Islands, it is a country where 85+ languages are spoken and poverty rates are very high.
Rebecca English shared this photo as the Duke and Duchess continued touring and meeting people, they also spoke with community leaders and asked about economic development possibilities.
Both CNN's Max Foster and Rebecca reported that William and Kate very much enjoyed themselves, below, a tweet from Max.
It is good to see Kate smiling in light of the stress the couple has been dealing with.
Rebecca English's impression of how the pair felt about their time this morning:
They also were shown traditional island culture.
Kate managed to look cool and composed despite the heat and humidity.
They also watched warriors performing dances accompanied by pan pipes.
Even a rain shower didn't seem to bother the couple.
Kate and William then moved on to Burns Creek, a community on the outskirts of Honiara. Residents are impacted by the country's high poverty rates,humanitarian group World Vision has more on the challenges facing the area.
The South Asia and Pacific region is home to a billion people who live on less than $2 a day. Levels of chronic child hunger and malnutrition are among the highest in the world.
The pair heard directly from residents about some of the tough issues they are confronting, including Louise Whitney and her little boy.
Louise has been helped by the Solomon Islands Small Business Enterprise Company program, an endeavor operated in partnership with World Vision.
More on Louise's success story from World Vision NZ:
As a result she now runs a successful canteen (grocery) shop from her home and is doing so well that she is looking for alternative premises. Her story is particularly impressive as the mother of three is a domestic violence survivor.
Below we see William and Kate hearing from Louise's husband, Cain, who has also been involved with programs operated by World Vision NZ.
Cain has started a pig farming business, World Vision explains that "pigs are used as a project to help local people earn a good living in an area where people often survive on less than $2 a day". Cain introduced William and Kate to a few of the piglets.
World Vision Asia shared on Twitter that after meeting the little animals William suggested some interesting names for them:
"Will" and "Kate" would certainly be memorable names for piglets.
Kate also learned about the extraordinarily high rates of domestic violence against women in the Solomon Islands, she met with Koisau Sade, World Vision's Gender Coordinator.
The Royals spoke with Ellison Mataifiri, a youth leader who represented the community.
Ellison was more than impressed with Kate and William.
"They greeted me like we'd met before. We spoke about what Burns creek used to be like "it was dangerous and messed up,"
The youth leader also explained some realities to the couple:
"They wanted to know why we didn't go to the bank, and I explained that people can't read or write. The big banks are a long way away, and they won't lend to us."
Ellison told the couple about some of World Vision's work in economic development and savings, and then presented the pair with an honorary savings passbook. It was an impactful day for the entire community, as Ellison explains:
"Our community has never seen a couple like that before, and they got to shake their hands. It's a big story for Burns Creek today. For the past few years we haven't felt part of Honiara. Today we feel powerful, and we feel recognized."
Next, time to move on to a meeting with the Commonwealth Youth Pacific Centre (CYP), William and Kate's visit coincides with the group's Leadership and Integrity Conference. There was more rain as they arrived at the Conference. The weather appeared to have no impact whatsoever on either the Duke or Duchess, the smiles stayed on their faces as they continued with their activities.
Kate and William were to address the group, consisting of young people from 12 Pacific countries. More on the program's goals from Mai Life Magazine, quoting the regional director, Afu Billy:
"Pacific young people want to be trained in areas of good governance, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. They need to acquire skills to advocate and promote the interests of young people and be able to influence decisions that affect them."
For the day's very busy agenda Kate opted for a bright yellow dress, we were able to identify the frock with the help of WKW Facebook friend Tammie, and the always-wonderful Kate Middleton Style Blog, the piece was actually suggested as a good "Copy Kate" during last year's North American Tour. Below, the post showing the Jaeger as an alternative to the yellow Jenny Packham Kate was wearing.
The dress was originally priced at $270 (£180) and then discounted to $113. Below, we show it at Lyst.
And as Jaeger showed it on their site.
The knee length dress has cap sleeves, a button front, shirt collar, fitted top, full skirt with pleating and a self belt. It is 100% cotton in a light weight, ideal for the 80° temps and humidity that was higher than that.
I believe Kate may have also worn her Kiki McDonough Citrine Drop earrings, she also wore her trusty Sledge pumps.
Kate was also given a surprise, royal photographer Mark Stewart's tweet explains:
- Visit the Commonwealth Youth Programme's Facebook group, it is an active and interesting page
- Learn more about World Vision New Zealand and/or donate by visiting the WVNZ website, or visit the organization's Facebook page here
- Visit World Vision New Zealand's "Smiles" Store and gift catalogue, items range from a $4 'Smiles Money Box' to teach young ones about thinking beyond themselves and the value of giving to water purification tablets to mosquito netting and pencils.
Our thanks to World Vision's Lauren for her gracious assistance with information and photos.
Next on today's agenda:
- The couple will travel to a Coast Watchers memorial in Honiara, they'll lay a ceremonial wreath and meet veterans of the Coast Watch.
- Kate and William then attend a lunch reception hosted by the Prime Minister in aid of Solomon Islands charities, including representatives of the Diamond Jubilee Trust.
- Kate and William fly to Marau, "The welcome ceremony has been developed entirely by the local people and promises to be a very special and memorable moment for Their Royal Highnesses in such a remote and beautiful location."
- The Royal couple will proceed by boat to the island of Marapa, where they will first visit a village before traveling on a traditional war canoe the short distance between Marapa and Tavanipupu.
- Upon arriving on Tavanipupu William and Kate will be met with a musical and dance welcome, they will spend the night at the private resort.

While some might think her shoes were inappropraiate, they were appropriate for the weather and area. It was raining and if you look at the ground in the pictures you will see that it is very sandy. In damp sandy gound and rain, you want to wear leather shoes that are easy to clean and will hold up to the weather and surroundings where her Imperia wedges would not of been able to handle the conditions.
The dress is lovely and take it from someone who lives in a hot and humid climate year round, the light weight materials are better and stand up better to the weather and sweat. She looks lovely as always and I like the brighter color.
I know that much has been said about the height of the wedges that she wears – however, I think that she realizes that people do come out to see her – by wearing heels that make her taller – she is more visible to the many who hope for a glimpse.
I think her dress choices and for that matter shoe choices have been quite good. While I would have foresworn heels and stockings for sandals, my guess is that she could not. Besides, those who are coming out to see her want to see a princess – someone who dresses as a princess would dress. For most of the people, it is the only time that they may ever see royalty……
While not a great fan of eyelet, it is crisp and suggests one is not wilting in the heat even if one is. The yellow dress would make her stand out – I loved the color on her and she looked cool as well.
All in all, I would think that the Queen is very proud of how her grandson and his wife have represented her under what have been trying times for them personally. I think that one can say that the duchess is the epitome of grace under pressure.
The dress is very nice but wrong shoes again for this moment – a wedge pump would do nicely. One cannot compare what she wore in Canada/US to what she is wearing in the Asia Pacific. Both areas are totally different weather-wise and culture-wise so I think the clothes she has chosen are appropriate.
She really does look poised despite the rain. In the pictures where she and William and examining the piglets and conversing with Ellison, you can tell that the bottom of her dress is drenched.
Love the dress and color. Her shoe choices are making me insane. Patent leather pumps when the hosts
Are In flats or no shoes. Doesn't she own any cute sandals that don't have dated 4″ cork heels.
I know what you mean!! As the others mentioned, those wedges from yesterday would have been such a smarter choice, but she also has her Imperia wedges too, and those would have looked fantastic. I can't imagine how many times her shoes got stuck in mud today or how much dirt she had to wipe off them later on!
Did Kate go without pantyhose?
She always dresses appropriately for the job; this is, after all, work rather than a vacation. I live in a hot, humid climate and am amazed at how fresh she looks in these pictures! My hair would be a ball of frizz, my makeup would have run, and my dress would be sticking to my back. I don't know how she does it, but she looks great.
Thanks for the info on Burns Creek and WorldVision (and indeed, for all the info you've been posting on the various projects and places they've visited). Very interesting.
I would want that job and she can have all my vacations. LOL
It wouldn't be the job for me – I can't maintain a smile the way she does!
I actually really, really love this dress! I also really love that its pretty inexpensive, at least relative to what the Duchess sometimes wears. I think visiting an area so heavily impacted with poverty that wearing a very expensive dress would be rather awkward. I wonder if Catherine every feels a bit self conscious wearing her beautiful (but very large and expensive LOL) engagement ring to these areas? I am not in any way criticizing, but I could see if there was a part of her that sort of felt strange wearing a piece of jewelry like that among so much poverty? The couple seem to be really enjoying themselves and it seems they are truly engaged and fascinated by this culture. I am so happy they are there to bring more awareness to the issues of the area while also celebrating many beautiful aspects of the local culture. Again, thank you so much for the great detailed post!!!
I like the styling and the slight sheen on the cotton of this dress. The yellow was a serendipitous choice for a rainy day. I think the espadrilles she wore with the pink dress yesterday would have worked better with this dress and the terrain although not perhaps in the rain. Perhaps since William was in a suit she didn't wish to appear to casual by weariing a more casual shoe.
I think her espadrilles would have looked better as well! Or just a nice, casual pair of flats
Living in a hot, humid climate myself, I love Kate's fashion choices on this trip, including the more casual choices in the Solomon Islands. Bright colors suit Kate more than the dark, heavy looks she often wears in the UK because of the weather.
Thanks for the important information about World Vision NZ and their programs.
I'm just not a fan of shirtdresses with full skirts, and yellow isn't a color I like, so this dress doesn't excite me. However, she looks fine in it, and it works for the venues. Unlike me, she can wear yellow.
I do think the dress is too casual for the ever-present patent-leather pumps. She owns at least a couple of pairs of beige sandals/wedges, which would have been very suitable.
I have to agree with WayWeWere that I haven't been thrilled by most of what she's worn on this tour, but I'll give her credit for holding up and continuing to look fresh — though of course that's one of the reasons for the many clothing changes. By now, I'd be one wilted flower.
I'd like this dress better if she'd worn it with an interesting belt. The black belt worn by the model in the Lyst photo gives the dress greater interest and snap. She could then have worn one of her pairs of black wedges.
Really Kate, you are doing a very great job : always fresh, always smiling. You don't depart from the say : travel broadens the mind and keeps the youth.
I like very much this dress, it looks great on Kate.
By the way, Kate has a real fancy for belt-bows (or bow-belts?)
The color and fabric are a great choice for this tour. Not a fan of the way the waist is constructed, but I beleive that it was both comfortable and cool in such a hot and humid surrounding. Not a "hit" with me, but not a "miss" either. I must say that I admire her composure under such stressful events.
I think what the mafazine an that are dispicable and disrespectful to Princess Catherine and Prince William and should be given a hefty fine and jail time an the magazine place cloed down for good.
In general I agree. I loved the gold and white gown, and the powder blue dress with the lace overlay, however. Two of her most gorgeous looks ever. Perhaps she has tried to cope with the heat by wearing these lighter dresses.
Her dress fits the occasion perfectly, and another strong colour which so suits her. I much prefer this dress to the Jenny Packham she wore in Canada – its deeper colour, dropped waist,pleats and shorter sleeves.
Can't help thinking that for the terrain a pair of flats or low wedges might have fitted in better but I suppose flats would be just too casual.
I feel sorry about the invasion of their privacy. Is there some way we can show them our support? Perhaps this incident brought back the memory of Princess Diana's tragic death. I'm not English, but really hope to show my support for this lovely young couple! =(
Yes! Why are these publications so hell-bent on humiliating her? She's done nothing to deserve it.
I think flats would have been very nice indeed
I think the only thing we can do to show support is to draw a firm line in the sand. When pictures of this nature are published, we don't look at them, we don't buy the magazines, and we do everything in our power–depending on where we live–to not support any media outlet that shows or condones that type of paparazzi. Then we use forums like WKW's FB page and other groups to encourage fellow Kate-fans to do likewise. We may not make a big change, since there are so many other people out there who think this kind of picture taking is ok, but hopefully we can begin to make a dent. Paps will continue to seek these types of pictures as long as there's an audience/buyer for them.
What a beautiful, gracious, heartwarming Princess! How disgraceful of these photographers. Each and everyone who feels this, should support banishing such evil.
Thanks Kristin!
I love this dress — this is a garment that knows how to use cotton rather more so than the more clumsy style of the Saunders yesterday. This one is a lovely classic shap eand style on Kate, accenting her waistline and giving fullness where needed via the sewn-down pleats — these in turn give a much cleaner line than bulky gathering.
Those poor worn-out shoes are a reasonable style and colour to go with it, and her hair looks wonderful being naturally brushed out with only the minimum frizz which can hardly be helped under the circs.
Definitely an outfit for a busy day on a hot island! She looks great. Thanks for another wonderful well-informed post!
The LK Bennet Sledges are certainly well-worn by now, but they don't appear "worn-out" at all from the up-close picture by James Whatling that WKW posted the other day (http://whatkatewore.com/2012/09/14/kate-in-bespoke-beulah-london-for-mosque-visit-walkabout-and-luncheon/). Just the tiniest bit of abrasion around the heel is visible, from where I'm sitting. I've read that she does in fact only have one pair in a reliable magazine publication (People, I believe), but it does make you wonder… There must be someone on staff whose sole job is taking care of these shoes! (Kidding.)
I do expect that they will be a little worse for wear after this event. I'm not sure how she managed to walk in pumps on what I imagine is very soft turf, especially after the rain.
it looked like she was wearing nude ballet flats… from the Twitter pic posted by Rebecca English.
I enjoy reading all these posts and updates. Although I am not particularly fond of any of her looks during this tour, it's still very refreshing to see how she has pulled off a totally different feel with completely different wardrobe comparing to her Canada/US tour more than a year ago. I'd like to give her a big thumb up for the incredible fashion sense and knowing what works for her and occasions.
It's NOT easy to maintain one's poise in our tropical weather! We become grumpy and run indoors!
I actually love her choices here. I also must say that, her clothing are more appropriate for her figure, and she may not be looking to make a fashion statement as such, but just to to present herself as being beautiful but approachable.

Energy and Weather Dominate Data on the First Day of Open-Ended QE
- August Retail Sales increased by 0.9 percent, boosted by higher gasoline prices.
- Ex-auto Retail Sales gained 0.8 percent. Motor vehicles and parts sales increased by 1.3 percent.
- The Consumer Price Index for August surged by 0.6 percent, the largest monthly gain since June 2009.
- Industrial Production fell by 1.2 percent in August, dampened by Hurricane Isaac.
- The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for September jumped to 79.2.
- Business inventories for July increased nominally by 0.8 percent.
Financial markets are still digesting the Federal Reserve's announcement of a new open-ended program of mortgage-backed securities purchases dubbed QE3. The spate of U.S. economic data from today certainly does not reflect the new era of "QE until we stop"; however it does show the still strong influence of oil prices on the U.S. economy. Going forward it is reasonable to expect that oil and other commodity prices will get a nudge from QE3. The price for NYMEX crude oil jumped about $2 yesterday to approach $100/barrel after the Fed released its policy announcement. Retail sales for August increased by 0.9 percent, boosted by higher gasoline prices and by the pop in car sales, back up to a 14.5 million unit rate. The national average gasoline price cruised up through August, and now sits at $3.87/gallon according to AAA. Retail sales at gasoline stations ignited in August, gaining 5.5 percent. Retail sales of motor vehicles and parts revved up by 1.3 percent in August. Sales were flat in most other categories, with the exception of building materials, which gained 1.0 percent, possibly spurred by Hurricane Isaac.
The consumer price index for August showed the largest monthly gain in more than three years, up 0.6 percent. The energy index was up 5.6 percent, reversing four months of decline. Consumer food prices were sedate, up 0.2 percent. However, yesterday we did see a stronger 0.9 percent gain in the producer price index for finished foods. The core CPI (excluding food and energy) was calm, up just 0.1 percent in August. U.S. industrial production fell by 1.2 percent in August as Hurricane Isaac disrupted the Gulf Coast region. The Federal Reserve estimates that Isaac knocked 0.3 percent off of industrial production for the month. Overall capacity utilization fell to 78.2 percent. The preliminary University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for September jumped to 79.2 percent, still a subdued number, but well above the August reading of 74.3 percent. Business inventories for July were up 0.8 percent for the month. The headline inventory-to-sales ratio ticked down in July after increasing through the second quarter.
Market Reaction: Equity markets opened with gains. Treasury yields are up at the long end of the yield curve. NYMEX crude oil is up to $99.89/barrel. The dollar is up against the yen and down versus the euro.

Mistakes Were Made
I've been fortunate enough to have been able to attend quite a few performances of my music in the last year or so. It's always a treat to sit in the audience and listen to the familiar notes unfold, only now with the added personality and spin the individual performers bring to it. It's not as much of a treat to listen to the occasional wrong notes, wrong rhythms, wrong entrances or wrong tempos.
Despite the talent and dedication of the performers, errata do creep in. Sometimes they're unnoticeable to anyone other than the composer (and presumably—hopefully—the performer in question); sometimes they're fairly flagrant and difficult to ignore. (It's not a good sign when the first thing a performer says to you after a concert is "Sorry!")
Sometimes mistakes just happen, no matter how well-prepared a performer is. But new music, particularly down at the grass roots where no one's getting paid very much, if at all, is often under-rehearsed. And, by definition, new music is, well, new. It's not going to have the same challenges the performers spent years on as they were growing up learning their instruments. It's not going to be "in the ear."
Last week saw the world premiere of my saxophone quartet Ruck by the Dave Noland Saxophone Quartet. I went to a rehearsal with them the day before the premiere; they're terrific players, and were giving the piece a fantastic ride. But there was one difficult section, full of mixed meters and unpredictable entrances (from about 45″ in to about 1'45") in the video, below) where they kept not all getting to the end at the same time. Derailment. They worked on it a fair amount while I was there, and assured me they'd work on it again in the morning before the 1 pm concert, and sure enough, in performance they nailed it. A couple of other moments were slightly off—but nothing that detracted from the flow of the music, and what turned out to be a very exciting performance.
Most errata don't affect the overall way the piece works. (Thank goodness for that—lord knows I've played enough wrong notes while performing my own music.) You never know whether even a serious error is going to affect the audience's perception of the performance. I've had performances I was sure had been ruined by incorrect tempos receive rapturous responses; I've had a simple counting mistake in the final bar make an otherwise successful performance land with a wet thud.
But it's a real issue for composers. One colleague of mine told me that he made it a point never to write anything that couldn't be sight-read. I can't seem to bring myself to do that, but there's always the question, "Is my music too hard?" You wouldn't think so—we've all been to immaculate performances of extremely difficult music. I've been to immaculate performances of Elliott Carter string quartets, for cryin' out out loud—if musicians can play that, how hard can my stuff be?
Come to think of it, though, if there were mistakes in a performance of an Elliott Carter string quartet, how would I know? They're complicated enough that they sound completely new to me every time I hear them anyway. What makes a performance seem immaculate is the performers' conviction, not their accuracy. That's where the magic happens, if it happens. And if I had to choose between a committed but inaccurate performance and an accurate but lackluster one, I know which I'd pick.

Usually mangrove ecosystem develops in shallow sea water. But there exists relict mangrove forest rised by tectonic forces 24 - 37 m above the sea level and fed by springs - Hosnies Spring mangroves in Christmas Island.
Hosnies Spring was known earlier but the unique nature of vegetation around it was noted in the late 1980s. This forest is a part of another surprising ecosystem - Christmas Island subtropical rainforest - the only forest in the world where dominating fauna species are land crabs.
Hosnies Spring is seeping out from the base of ancient terrace which formed some 124 thousand years ago, when Christmas Island was sumberged deeper in the ocean than now. In these times in the seaside shallows formed mangrove ecosystem - similar to mangroves we see today in tropical seas. Later the island rised up again or rather - the level of ocean decreased and former mangroves rised above the sea level.
In such cases mangrove stands are replaced with other ecosystems. But not around Hosnies Spring: here the spring freshwater continued to sustain mangroves. Island rised higher and higher - and now the ancient stand of mangroves is 24 - 37 m above the sea level. It grows on 250 m wide ledge between the ancient sea coast and modern coast - high cliff.
The best grove is 3,300 m² large and contains some 300 - 600 trees - the largest known Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Bruguiera sexangula trees in the world, 30 - 40 m tall, with trunk diameter up to 80cm.
Small shoots of young trees below the old giants are dormant - they are patiently waiting for the fall of old trees which will open a patch of clear sky. When such opportunity comes, young plants grow like crazy - who will be the first, will survive.
In 1989 this site was included in Christmas Island National Park but in 1990 it was included in the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance as one of the smallest sites in this list. In 2010 there is proposed to increase the area of the site from 0.33 ha to 202 ha in order to provide better protection for this unique ecosystem.
This is not the only case of such relict mangrove stands in Christmas Island - there are other species of mangroves growing on spring fed rised terraces around the island.

Discover 125M has the longest wheelbase in its category (1305mm) which complements its ergonomically designed seat profile.
Both of which make it very comfortable indeed, for the rider and the pillion as well!
Discover has the longest wheelbase in its category, which complements its exceptionally well-designed seat profile.
We now take long rides for hours on end, and I don't feel any discomfort at all while sitting on the backseat.
Discover 125M's Nitrox Suspension uses path-breaking shock absorber technology, which has a travel of 110 m.
Unlike conventional oil-filled suspensions that run the risk of frothing or bubble-formation, Discover 125M comes with Nitrogen filled suspension which is much more stable and hence provides a smoother and more consistent ride.
Thanks to Discover's nitrox suspension, my rides have been a lot smoother than usual. The ride feels really sporty, with consistent handling and breaking!
I always used to cringe whenever a speed bump was approaching! But nowadays, we simply breeze over them on our Discover 125M!
The revolutionary 124.66 cc 4-Valve DTS-i engine makes fuel combustion so efficient that it generates more power at higher RPMs with maximum fuel economy.
It delivers about 11.5 Ps power and a CMVR certified mileage of 76 kmpl!
My Discover 125M gives me much more power than a standard 125 cc bike, with a top speed of 100 kmph, and amazing mileage of 76 kmpl!
With the DTS-i Engine, I know that I have the excitement of a quick pick-up at times when I need to show who's the boss on the road.
Since I know the new Discover 125M is really fuel efficient, I do not feel guilty asking Sameer to take me on long drives.
It's so much fun!
Discover 125M's 200mm Petal disc brakes come with a higher surface area for cooling. This results in a much more efficient braking system that ensures safety on the roads.
Discover 125M's Petal Discs are so responsive and efficient with maximum braking force. And the fact that they are extremely stylish as well, just adds to the appeal!
Right on our first ride after Sameer brought home the Discover 125M, he was so confident of the brakes that he tried the "sudden brake" trick he used to try in college to make me come closer to him!
Discover 125M's new age 10-spoke alloy wheels are structurally rigid, and results in efficient handling, acceleration and braking on all roads.
Apart from looking really amazing, my Discover 125M's alloy wheels enhance handling, acceleration and braking.
I think the beautiful alloy wheels make the Discover look extremely stylish, and Sameer tells me they add to the riding experience as well!
Discover 125M's 12V 35/35W DC headlamp not only ensures a steady beam of light even when the engine is idle or at slow speeds. It does not flicker or dim!
It's natural that I slow down the bike while maneuvering dark roads. Hence, it is annoying that conventional bike headlights become dim whenever the engine is at a lower speed.
Discover 125M's DC headlamps give me a steady beam of light regardless of the engine speed!
It does not flicker at all!
With the kind of streetlights in the city, I used to initially feel slightly nervous when Sameer used to take the bike out at night.
Nowadays, we regularly go out for long night rides on our Discover 125M!
Discover 125M comes with a range of stylish features that rank it among the best looking bikes on the roads.
The combination of the muscular fuel tank, premium aluminium side sets and 10-spoke alloys add to the signature Discover look!
Sporty, muscular and sleek - my Discover 125M is absolutely stunning!
No other commuter bike looks as awesome on the road.
The design looks so sporty and youthful! And it comes in a range of lovely colours! All of this makes the New Discover just as stylish as I am!
Discover 125M comes with CDI based mapping for Ignition that makes it unnecessary to kickstart your bike every now and then!
What's more, the ignition is powered by a low-maintenance battery.
Discover 125M's electric start feature makes it really suited for traffic-filled city commute. I no longer have to undergo the discomfort of kick-starting whenever the bike stops at a signal.
On our previous bike, I used to get really annoyed when Sameer used to make me get down to kickstart the engine. With the Discover 125M, he can start the bike at the push of a button!
* As per data published by Zigwheels/Times of India
125 cc bike, 14.3 BHP power and peak torque of 12.75 NM both of which are better or at par with Honda CB unicorn.
PS Balakrishnan
It is an able handler and promises to offer the thrill of riding 125 cc bikes, discover to those who want that extra performance without sacrificing the comfort.
Abhay Verma
It is definitely good news for motorcycle buyers in the country, especially 125 cc bikes in india for those who seen a comfortable, easy to ride and maintain commuter bike that's also easy on the pocket.
Priyadarshan Bawikar
Discover insanely tempting. With quality, reliability and refinement levels reaching the competition levels, there is no reason why you should not upgrade 125 cc bike Discover and get either of these variants because you do need some Josh in your life, don't you?
Mohit Soni
8/10 a more powerful discover 125 cc bike to help you cut down on daily commute time.

Domino Theory
Can ISA88 and ISA95 Knock Down the Barriers Between Batch and Continuous Processing?
Dave Emerson, director of the U.S. Development Center for Yokogawa Corp. of America in Carrolton, Texas, says loss of operator knowledge applies to all processes in general. Many companies are losing employees or watching their workforce get older, and process knowledge is leaving the company, he says. In some cases, processes have been running without problems for years, mainly because of the skilled people involved. When they leave, this information may not be passed on. Unless the company defines the process in ISA88, that is.
Marc Leroux, marketing manager for ABBs Collaborative Production Management, agrees. The issue of skill loss is huge and much more complex than can be addressed by one standard. The continued implementation of standards like ISA88 and ISA95 greatly reduce the impact of the skill loss, but there is no one standard that does it by itself. That said, implementing ISA88-based solutions go a long way to reducing some of these issues.
Dave Chappell, president of Complete Manufacturing Automation Associates in West Chester, Ohio, has married several continuous processes at Procter & Gamble to ISA88. At Procter & Gamble, we have successfully created hybrid process control applications, says Chappell. The results of these adventures exceeded expectations. Using the recipe management and sequencing capabilities of ISA88 improved the operational management and execution of continuous manufacturing, though gaining acceptance was quite difficult.
ABBs Leroux says one of the major issues in gaining acceptance is that engineering contractors and end users are focused on capital costs rather than operational excellence. In many cases, the requirements are quite straightforward and easily implemented at the controller level, he says. Moving it up to the unit level improves OpEx, but it comes at a higher cost.
Chappell says that getting ISA88 accepted by continuous advocates is a challenge. There are groups that believe strongly in the superiority of continuous manufacturing, and they will go to great lengths to prove it, including rejecting any automation techniques that are shared with batch systems, he says.
Emerson says one way around this problem is to not call it a batch solution, which can kill the idea from the get-go. If you can address their process problems from a business standpointsuch as how do you handle product changes, or how do you document the process?then you can introduce ISA88 concepts of modular automation, procedural control and tracking production without calling it batch.
He also sees more acceptance of ISA88 in continuous processes because engineers with ISA88 experience are changing jobs. As the pool of engineers familiar with ISA88 has grown and individuals have moved between companies and projects, he says, it has been natural for them to use their successful practices in batch in other areas. We are just starting to hear more of this in application papers and case studies.
Honeywells Gaafar agrees and adds wryly, We never mention the B word to continuous control people. Instead, we tell them we have a standard framework for defining process operations, transition management and report generation. If they ask, we tell them its based on ISA88, but we never mention the word batch.
Leroux also agrees. Removing batch from the descriptions is a start, he says. Another way, which ABB supports, is to use the standards internally for our own solutions. For example, ABB uses ISA88 as the mechanism for dynamically configuring analyzers in our Industrial IT for PAT solution.
Figure 3: ABBs factory in Dalmine, Italy, produces medium-voltage switchgear products. The automated factory relies on ISA95 for communication to the business system layer, and uses the models for scheduling, processing, tracking and reporting of materials.
Others are turning to ISA88 because they cant find similar solutions on the continuous side. Zarichniak of Honeywell explains, Tracking production runs in a continuous process is a nightmare with standard historian or data acquisition software, he says, because it isnt set up to handle all the various procedures. Programmers can write spaghetti code to tie it all together, but it is much easier to generate production reports using ISA88.
ISA88 Engaged to ISA95
Many people view ISA95 as sitting atop ISA88 in the missionary position. Essentially, an ERP or other enterprise function tells ISA95 what to make; ISA95 relays this information to ISA88; and ISA88 tells the control system how to make it. Like many marriages, the problem has been that ISA88 and ISA95 dont talk to each other very well because they dont use the same definitions. Tools such as B2MML (Business to Manufacturing Markup Language) and BatchML (Batch Markup Language), developed by WBF, can be used to make the connection.

HeadWay - How to Mend a Broken Voice
HeadWay Spring 2010
How to Mend a Broken Voice
Date: May 3, 2010
Lee Akst believes most patients with voice complaints, including those with phonotraumatic lesions, can be helped.
Most people imagine voice patients as opera singers or actors. But the reality is that most patients with voice complaints work more routine jobs—as lawyers, salesmen, marketing professionals and, says Lee Akst, especially elementary school teachers.
"A classic voice patient is someone who uses their vocal cords so much that they've developed a lesion on them that gets in the way of good vocalization," Akst, a laryngologist, explains.
And elementary school teachers, Akst continues, are especially subject to such injuries. It's a population—along with the marketers and lawyers and other highly vocal professionals—that he plans to treat as he takes the helm of the Johns Hopkins' Division of Laryngology.
Akst, who specializes in voice and swallowing problems, joined Hopkins from Chicago's Loyola University Hospital, where, as director of laryngology, he helped establish a center for voice and esophageal disorders. Now he's doing the same here, joining together with current otolaryngology faculty and staff and bringing them all under the umbrella of the newly established Johns Hopkins Voice Center, in the outpatient center of the hospital's East Baltimore campus.
"We really want to expand the variety of specialty services we're offering patients with these issues," Akst says.
Those patients can range from television newscasters to the countless number of teachers who have sought Akst's assistance through the years. People in these professions, he explains, have one major thing in common: They must frequently use—and sometimes strain—their vocal cords.
"Teachers are particularly high risk because they're constantly talking and projecting their voices to the classroom, and they're unable to rest their voices when they're feeling tired or hoarse," Akst says. "They have to keep pushing through in order to communicate with their students."
Over time, he continues, their voices—and those of others in vocally demanding jobs—just give out.
Fortunately, he says, most patients with voice complaints can be helped, especially if diagnosis is early and accurate. Patients with phonotraumatic lesions such as nodules, polyps and cysts can benefit from voice therapy and also surgery. Patients with growths on their vocal cords, like cancer or papilloma, can benefit from surgery as well, often through procedures that use advanced pulsed laser technologies to help preserve voice. For patients with vocal cord paralysis, there are medialization procedures and also injections that can help restore voice.
"There's always something we can do," Akst says. "We can always make someone at least a little bit better."

HAIFA (Jul. 13)
The Druze population of 18 villages throughout Israel converged on a Druze village in Western Galilee to welcome Prime Minister David Ben Gurion on his visit to the community.
The Premier arrived by helicopter and landed to the cheers of bearded sheiks, soldiers, border policemen, disabled veterans, farmers, teachers and young people. Women and girls of the community, wearing traditional costumes, provided a colorful background for the reception.
In a specially constructed dais, the Prime Minister received greetings of the Druze spiritual leader, Sheik amin Tarif, Druze Knesset members and other elders. In flowery speeches they praised the efforts of the Government of Israel for the Druze community. The Prime Minister shook hands with parents who had lost sons in the Israel War of Liberation. Addressing the gathering, he said words failed him in efforts to express his appreciation of the loyalty and patriotism shown by the Druze in Israel's cause.

Starwars goes to he who is namethed Lucas, and his assorted henchmen/organizations, Stargate is owned by Double-Secret, and the particular name of this certain SD is owned by a company named Paramount.
(Spoilers: Stargate S6 and below, and S7 up to 'Grace', at which point this interesting fic starts off at.)
USS Prometheus, BC-303/1, Approaching Outer Sol System
Most definately another case of SG-1 luck. That had to be what the recent incident had been caused by. A living cloud, alien attackers out in the middle of no-where... at least they were almost home.
Major Samantha Carter turned in response to the question, looking over to the forward consoles. "Yes?" She moved around the captain's chair, looking down at the console, wondering what could need clarification from her. The small screen was focused in on near-Neptune orbit, a small powersource of some kind.
She gestured for the crewman to get out of the seat, and sat down, looking closely at the readings, running a few more scans. What was that? She looked up from the console, looking out the forward screen into deep space, looking at the small dot of light that was Neptune, wondering if she would see anything unusual.
"Sir? There's something we might need to check out..." Carter did not like the idea of something having snuck into the Sol system. They had enough things to worry about as it was, the System Lords, Anubis, Anubis's new warriors. She didn't need more work, she had enough going over the Prometheus.
"What is it, Major?"
"An unidentified object in orbit of Neptune, Ha'tak sized, though the readings are off slightly... we'll need to get closer to get a good reading on it." Carter kept her eyes glued to the readout on the object now, as they started passing into the gas giant's orbital plane. She didn't like the situation, not one bit.
"Alright, then. Helm, alter course for Neptune, max military thrust. Let's see who is sneaking around our back yard." Col. Ronson leaned forward slightly as the low background rumble of the twin ion-thrust engines of the Prometheus kicked up a notch with the ship pulling around to an orbital approach of the blue planet. Crewmembers began moving a little quicker across the ship, hearing the sounds of the enginers fully kicking in. The sounds of a possible battle about to happen.
Carter watched the display, as the readings slowly began to resolve a little more. Fusion power teltales, ion thrust similar to the Prometheus, though on a far larger scale, wait, that silouette was familiar... She blinked, wondering if she was still feeling the effects of the concussion she had recently sustained during the battle with those alien attackers. That couldn't be right... triangular ship, three main engines, large hanger, one mile long... "Sir... I have a tenative identification on the target."
"Let's hear it, then."
"This is going to sound a little strange, but appears to be a Star Destroyer." Carter winced slightly at the sound of it. A little strange? Well, okay, for the SGC, that was a little strange. Near outside the realm of possiblility, but still there. She looked up to several crewmembers on the edges of the bridge looking at her, before she turned around to Col. Ronson.
He looked at her, half-flabbergasted at hearing something so completely off the wall coming from the Major. "Major Carter, are you sure, absolutely SURE that you're alright? Because if I just heard correctly, we have a Star Destroyer in our system."
"Yes sir. Almost no doubt about it. I can't get highly detailed readings, but the hull silouette is unmistakeable, sir." Carter turned back to her display, calling up some of the other sensors, trying to get a better reading. 10,000 kilometers, and closing in. Still not close enough for a good reading on some of the sensors, but the radar would work fine. The results were encouraging, thankfully. "It's adrift, sir! Radar imaging from the targeting radars indicates deformations in the hull. It appears safe to close with, sir."
"Let's not be too hasty about this. It could be some kind of trap." Col Ronson didn't quite know what to make of this. He stood up, heading over to one of the side stations, looking at the radar returns. His heart chilled for a moment, and not because of the cool air aboard the ship. Seeing something so iconic as a bad ship on the radar imaging of his ship shocked him, even more so with the damage that had buckled the hull in multiple spots.
"Communications, get on the line to the SGC, inform them that we have made a discovery. We'll run back to Earth to pick up the rest of SG-1, and if it's approved, we'll have a look at this so-called Star Destroyer..."

I have just purchased a bottle which I have been told is in-between the World Wars in date, but would value any more in identification. It is pale blue/ green in colour and approx 9.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches diameter across the circular base, which has a 2 inch high punt almost the diameter of the inside of the bottle. The overall shape is slightly elongated onion with 3 inch neck and flattened lip, wider than the neck, with a pouring spout. The bottle has one verticle mould line and the only other marks are a 'seal' in glass applied to the bottle in a flattened bottom circle, within which there is a 5 point crown and the capital E within larger C just below the crown. This has been told to me as possibly being the mark of the contents producer, but not very sure. Whatever the original contents, the punt would collect a lot of sediment, so I am baffled as to the possible contents this glass was made for. Any hints as to the age/ origin of this bottle would be gratefully received. I have noticed a similar crown on the screw top of a modern fortified wine bottle, contents from Spain, if that's any help. Thanks in advance

A Christmas Miracle

He walked slowly out of the Imperial Theatre on Broad Street. The Christmas Eve jazz show with renown trombonist, Wycliffe Gordon, killed his pain for two short hours. With head down and shoulders slumped, he wondered what to do next as the chilly, misty fog wrapped around him. It was after all just another dreary day. His sister and her family had left town to spend Christmas with her in-laws. His daughter had invited him to spend Christmas with her and her family in Ohio. He didn't want to be a bother and was alone.
Things hadn't been the same since he buried his wife two years ago on that crisp fall afternoon. His empty house echoed the laughter and joy they once shared.
And now this. Christmas Eve. Alone and feeling abandoned. He pulled his jacket up close to his neck. The slight breeze chilled him to the bone. He couldn't face going home to nothing.
The Christmas lights along Broad Street were shrouded in the dampness sending out eerie shadows along the sidewalk. He watched as couples and families hurried to their cars going home from the concert to continue their Christmas Eve celebration.
He walked alone in the crowd feeling a desire to run - to run away from all the sorrow filling his heart. To run and never look back. To run and never return.
He glanced at his watch. Ten-fifteen. Would this night never end? The seconds seemed like hours. The minutes were days.
He turned left. Up ahead was the Gordon Highway overpass and to the right on Fifth Street was Bill's Place. It was all lit up. Two cars were parked in front of the liquor store. A pedestrian walked in and shortly came out holding his sack by the bottle's neck.
Eddie crossed over Broad and headed to Bill's Place. He fumbled in his wallet looking for a twenty. He knew he had been drinking too much lately. It seemed like the only thing that vanquished his pain. With one hand in his pocket and the other clutching the twenty, he trudged into the parking lot. He bought his fifth and crossed Broad Street again and walked down Fifth Street toward Reynolds and Augusta's River Walk.
He sat down on a park bench in the cold darkness and opened the bottle. The railroad bridge across the Savannah River loomed before him as surreal as the night. It called for him. "Come and end the pain. It'll all be over in a moment."
"The river would make a fine grave," Eddie said to himself. He put down his bottle after only a sip or two and took a couple of steps toward the trestle. Perhaps from childhood training, he stopped before crossing Reynolds Street and looked both ways into nothingness.
That's when it caught him. To the left soaring into the bleak sky like the Bethlehem star was the steeple of old St. Paul's Church. Worshippers streamed in for the 11 o'clock Christmas Eve service. The deserted downtown had life again on Reynolds Street.
He hesitated. Something seemed to be drawing him, pulling him toward the church. He had passed by it many times without giving the old church a second thought. His mind drifted back to a Saturday picnic when his daughter was a child. They played and laughed on the playground by the river, threw rocks into the water, and walked over the bricks from one end to the other stopping to read the historical markers along the way. He saw his wife standing and laughing and watching them play. Always a child at heart, he skipped along with his daughter.
Eddie shook his head like a dog shaking water off his back. The memories pained him. He looked at the bridge. He looked at the church. He stood there frozen like a statue.
He saw shapes in the fog. A couple with little children hurried alongside the old iron fence and entered the church yard through the open gate. His eyes followed them until they disappeared into the sanctuary.
He felt himself moving toward the high, strong steeple powered by a force not his own. He walked alongside the iron fence and came to the open gate and stopped again. The pastor and the choir recessed in from the court yard. The doors closed, the bells in the tower chimed the hour, and the great pipe organ rang out "O Come All Ye Faithful." Soon the entire congregation could be heard through the silent calm.
Eddie pulled back and crossed over to the opposite side of the church. His gaze focused on the cemetery dotted with headstones in the church yard. "Death in the middle of life?" he queried. "I can't get away from it."
He wanted to run again and nervously looked at the trestle. Then his eye caught something on the west side of the church yard. A manger scene. Mary, Joseph, the wise men, shepherds, sheep, cows - all adoring the Baby lying in the manger.
He sat down on the curb of the damp, cold sidewalk and looked. In deep reverie, there sat his mother, father, and sister around the Christmas tree a generation ago. The little homemade manger scene that he and his dad carved sat on the coffee table. It seemed only yesterday. He couldn't wait for dad to finish reading the Christmas story from Luke. His new Lionel electric train circled the tree. His nine year old sister lovingly held her Tiny Tears doll thatSanta delivered. The smell of the baking Christmas turkey wafted through the house. Such happy times and pleasant memories. Now this.
He looked up and saw the congregation filing out of the church. The pastor all decked out in his clerical robes took his customary place at the door greeting the congregants as they left the service. "Merry Christmas! And Merry Christmas to you little fellow." Some walked toward their cars parked close to Eddie. He quickly got up hoping not to be noticed and slipped into the shadows of the alley way hiding like some criminal.
The church was quiet again. The tombstones stood as sentinels over loved ones long past. Their gray shroud contrasted to the flood light showering the manger scene with an appearance of the supernatural.
Eddie rubbed his eyes hoping to see clearly what lied across the street from him. Again, images from deep inside his mind played on the screen in front of him.
His precious wife, Anna, and ten year old daughter, Beth (daddy's girl), sat on the pew beside him. They raised their voices in joyous praise singing "Joy to the World, the Lord Is Come!" A great smile crossed his face. All was well. It didn't get any better than this. As he sang, he thanked God for the many blessings showered upon him. He thanked God for his family.
His eyes opened again to the scene before him. He could never forget Anna hooked up to all of those machines fighting for life - her color as ashen as the monuments across the street, her struggles for air as cold and forlorn as the murky gusts that enveloped him.
The loneliness and pain followed him everywhere like a stray dog looking for food and love. He had tried to continue on. That's what Anna would have wanted. He prayed, read his Bible, and went to church like before. But nothing was there. Not any more. Nothing.
His sorrow had turned to anger - anger against God. "Why oh why had He done this to me? How could He let her slip through my fingers? The doctors could have done more. I could have done more. God could have healed her. Didn't he heal the sick and raise the dead? Is there even a God? If there is, he certainly doesn't care a hoot about me!"
Heaven turned a deaf ear. His desperate cries came back to him again and again. "Now look at me, God! Look what you've done to me! I'm ready to end it all on Christmas Eve." He had a good mind to go back to where he had left his bottle near the trestle.
But, Eddie found himself unconsciously walking out of the dark alley toward the light of the manger. Why? He didn't know. He had months ago renounced his faith and had nothing else to do with this God-thing. His Bible was sitting at the bottom of a closet where Anna's clothes still hung. Yet, he mysteriously was drawn to the manger.
Falling over a grave, he righted himself and stood peering down at the plastic figures. "They're fake, just like God," he mumbled shocked at the sound of his voice. He turned around to walk back into the soggy black loneliness encircling him. He looked for a second time - one last look - into the manger. An unexpected desire took him by surprise. He longed to touch the thing.
He bent down and placed his finger on the baby's lifeless face. The face felt warm to his touch. He got on his knees and caressed the face like he once did his baby girl. The eyes opened and a smile broke out on the face of the baby in the cradle. "Have I gone mad? Have I lost my mind?" What's wrong with me?" The baby reached for him, and he gently picked him up and kissed him. It had been forever since he felt anything. His heart had turned to stone. But now, love welled up in his heart. His eyes moistened. He yearned to hold this baby forever. Gently, Eddie lowered Baby Jesus back into his cradle and wept. He had held the tears and grief for too long. Now, it all flooded out of him. All of the anger, the loneliness, despair, and sorrow poured out of his soul.
Amazed, he turned and slowly walked away. Over the graves, out the gate, along the iron fence, past the bench and the trestle. The cold gray mist gave way to a drenching downpour blown by the winter wind.
But, Eddie didn't care. It was heaven's cleansing rain. It was the wind of the Spirit blowing new life into him.
He picked up his gait, straightened his shoulders, and headed into the rain of the early Christmas morn with faith, hope, and love to live again.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2013 (1446 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Re: Huge loss for Canada Post amid cost-cutting moves (Aug. 28). Two major corporations, ubiquitous in the daily lives of Manitobans, seem to need all the help they can get for their future survival. They are, of course, Canada Post and, yes, dare I say it, Manitoba Hydro. In my opinion, both of them might look to gain some guidance and help from New Zealand, Canada's kid cousin across the Pacific.
New Zealand Post, for example, recently bailed itself out from the inevitable business demise of snail mail by starting a "KiwiBank" to market new retail banking services through its hundreds of high-street outlets nationwide.
As a result, New Zealand Post is no longer the commercial basket case it was rapidly becoming. It is instead a refreshing and successful new competitor for the main New Zealand clearing banks.
As for Manitoba Hydro, surely it could benefit from a serious structural review, and then restructuring, to enable some competition and real transparency: to keep costs down and corporate decisions up to contestable scratch.
About two decades ago, New Zealand successfully restructured its power industry and has simply not looked back. Now, retail power companies successfully compete, as do businesses in generation (mainly government-owned) -- and regulated monopoly "lines companies" deliver all transmission services.
Just as the New Zealand model for GST has been successfully adopted by Canada, why couldn't these other major Kiwi achievements to cure its ailing Crown corporations, in power and post, be helpful to us, as well?

From Camopedia
Sultanate of Brunei
The Royal Brunei Armed Forces (Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei) wear a locally-produced copy of the British tropical DPM pattern. Several variations of uniform style and slightly different colorations have been observed, probably indicating a variety of manufacturers. As the Armed Forces are known to conduct training exercises with many of their Asian neighbors, it stands to reason some of the uniforms may be produced in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore or Thailand.
- Seen here is an example of the DPM pattern taken from an issued uniform.
- Recently the RBAF have adopted a pixelated camouflage pattern, which can be seen below.

Oreo Cheesecake Truffles
4 comments:
[1] You can bake without an oven?! This has made my day. Also, from the pictures, I find it hard to believe these were not baked like a cake. In a good way.ReplyDelete
[2] Okay, never in all my years of oreo adoration did I think that you could crush them with a ROLLING PIN AND PLASTIC BAG. This has legit just changed my world. The Hermana and I will now be indulging in oreo-covered basically every thing. (Your alternative is far superior to the clickety clacket-ing of a spoon trying to smush an oreo against a bowl). Call me a convert.
[3] They're...so...pretty!

Gephardt: The fight for working families is in his bones
19, 2004
By BrewCrew
Note: To mark the beginning of the primary season, the
editors of Democratic Underground solicited articles from
our members in support of the eight Democratic presidential
primary candidates. Publication of these articles does not
imply endorsement of any candidate by the editors of Democratic
up in a mid-sized industrial town, where almost 60% of our
city's workforce worked in either 1 of 2 industrial plants,
I remember well the debate over NAFTA. During that period,
I remember the constant voice of Dick Gephardt warning the
American people what would happen if this agreement passed.
I remember him warning us about the flood of jobs that would
be outsourced and moved to Mexico. The people in my town and
especially the local UAW feared for their jobs. Now 10 years
later, we see that Dick Gephardt was correct. Not only have
the jobs in my town by decimated, but the latest study done
by the EPI shows that nearly 870,000 American jobs have been
lost due to NAFTA. It's a sad commentary. You see the thing
about Dick Gephardt is that when he makes a decision in that
oval office, he will in this mind those people who have lost
their jobs or are scared of the potential of losing their
jobs. the fight for working families is in his bones. It's
where he is from and who he is. He will not desert the American
worker. FTAA nor CAFTA will be a reality under a Gephardt
I know the guy has been around awhile and is not the flashiest
candidate out there. But at first folks also thought New Coke
or Crystal Clear Pepsi were good ideas also. The current President
has almost lost more international allies than he has manufacturing
jobs. He's a miserable failure and most be replaced. However,
the country is in the midst of a war on terrorism and a jobless
recovery. We need someone with experience. I think people
are looking for that. Gephardt is steady. Plus, he has now
combined his 27 years of legislative experience with some
pretty bold ideas that I like: A universal health care plan
that will cover you for your entire life, so you never have
to worry about not having health coverage. He would implement
an international minimum wage, so our workers don't have to
compete with the 6 cents a hour workers in Sri Lanka make.
That is also a moral international issue. Corporations have
been exploiting these people for too long and Gephardt will
stand up to them. He also has an energy independence plan
that will get us off Mid-Eastern oil in 10 years and create
2 million new jobs in the US.
Some say that the guy is a proven loser. But I remind everyone
that after the Republican Revolution the Democrats faced huge
deficits in the US House. After that, while Gephardt was leader
the party gained seats in every single election in the House
except 2002. He also was a constant voice during the impeachment
and stood up to Newt Gingrich and the whackos running that
chamber during the late 90's. The guy is a fighter. Hey workers!
It was Gephardt who was able to get a minimum wage increase
passed while Newt was Speaker. I'm sure you remember that.
Gephardt is a great candidate. I firmly believe his midwestern
roots and working family background would pay huge dividends
in November. He is that type of candidate that would reasonate
well in the industrial heartland, which is the key battleground
in this election. He can beat George Bush in those places!
And that is where we need to beat him. Also, I don't forsee
Reagan Democrats having much trouble pulling the lever for
Dick Gephardt! He fights for the working man, has the experience
we need in these traumatic times and has put that all together
to offer some bold policy intiatives.
