Writing well and authentically isn't really as easy as people seem to think–it's more complicated; like capturing a dream just after we wake up and making it real.
Writers go through it for themselves and for their unseen audience, and posterity as well.
They know their cherished dream will be poked at or ignored by judgmental people who've changed their minds needs and interests in the time it took me to complete this sentence.
Writing requires us to be super perceptive about ourselves and our world; and perception is a tool that's sharp at both ends. We must constantly nick ourselves and our comfort zone.
- Writing for yourself requires a non-stop series of choices and decisions about big stuff, barely noticeable details, and everything in between. It's the most powerful self-validation exercise you'll ever do: even the final draft starts from scratch in a sense and–whatever your final result–will produce something that nobody else has ever given birth to.
Time to roll up your sleeves and return to work. As the great writer Paul Gallico reminded us back in the 1940s:
"It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader. If you do not believe in the characters or the story you are doing at that moment with all your mind, strength, and will, if you don't feel joy and excitement while writing it, then you're wasting good white paper, even if it sells, because there are other ways in which a writer can bring in the rent money besides writing bad or phony stories."
Having a chance to tinker with words and ideas until our story connects with readers is why we'll willingly accept all that bleeding.
"For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that he has come upon the right word."—Catherine Drinker Bowen
- We also write for an audience of strangers, hoping that somebody somewhere will help us validate ourselves. Our audience is more objective and we need them, so our first goal must be to cut through fogs of skepticism or distraction or doubt that stop people from reading a story for more than a few seconds.
A good writer is a kind of servant leader for his or her audience, trying to transform or educate or stimulate people they'll never meet by caring about them enough to win them over.
"All readers come to fiction as willing accomplices to your lies. Such is the basic goodwill contract made the moment we pick up a work of fiction." —Steve Almond
- Unless you happen to be named Emily Dickinson, everything you write is driven by a universal dream that someday what you've created will be picked up or stumbled upon by someone and will make a real difference to them. It is a legacy and an achievement you hope will be recognized for years or lifetimes to come.
"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works." —Virginia Woolf
If you accept this challenge you're ready to risk hearing the sound of crashing china or damp silence that greeted the last thing you published.
Writing is definitely not for sissies! Never attempt it without the help of a counseling expert.

4 Healthy Habit Reminders to Add To Your Family Calendar
Now that we've welcomed the much needed extra hour of sunlight after a long, dark and dreary winter, it's time to do some seasonal cleaning and maintenance.

Razors for the ambitious manWhen men first became serious about getting close shaves, the straight razor was their implement of choice. The sharp blade glides lightly and elegantly through even the toughest beard. These handcrafted shaving instruments represent a larger initial investment when compared with other razors. But if properly maintained, they'll last a lifetime. Tired of always forking out more cash for those overkill, multi-blade, disposable razors? Do yourself a favor and make the investment. Get a sharp straight razor. It'll be some of your best-spent money.
Straight razor terminologyBelow you'll see all the parts that make up a straight razor.
- 1. Handle
- 2. Shoulder
- 3. Back
- 4. Main
- 5. Peak
- 6. Cutting Edge
- 7. Blade
- 8. Heel
- 9. Shaft
- 10. Shaft Pivot
- 11. Toe
Straight razors with disposable bladesStraight razors with disposable blades are used mostly for hygienic purposes. They break a double-edged blade in two pieces, thus exposing only one shaving edge at a time. This lets you use the razor on unconventional parts of the body that require shaving in the safest and most careful manner.
Razor widthThe width of a straight razor is usually stated in eights of an inch or in sixteenths of an inch, measured from the cutting edge to the back. With a wide razor, the angle at which it's held in relation to the skin's surface makes it easier and faster to shave with. On the other hand, it may be a little tricky to get right around the nose and ears. It does get easier with practice, though. A 5/8" wide straight razor is very popular and makes a good size to start with. Ultimately, though, the width of the blade is a matter or personal preference.
Stainless steel or carbon steel?Straight razors are made primarily from these two types of steel.
Carbon SteelAs a rule, carbon steel can be honed to a sharper edge than stainless steel. But unlike stainless steel, a carbon steel blade requires a little more maintenance and needs to be oiled down to prevent rusting.
Stainless SteelAlthough it can't be honed as much as a carbon blade, rest assured it can be sharpened enough to provide many close shaves without having to strop it again. Also, stainless steel is extremely resistant to the humid environment in which razors are often used and stored.
In conclusion, there really isn't a great difference between carbon or stainless steel blades. The larger consideration should be the quality of the steel itself. This is why we work only with manufacturers from Solingen, Germany, Sheffield, England, and Tokyo, Japan.

In this paper, the information flow topology is regulated under the precondition that each agent can only utilize the information restricted by the physical communication channels. The objective topology is investigated under the framework of double-layer structures and is finally described by an optimal problem involving the eigenvalues on each layer. By introducing the element distance of eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalues, the first layer in hierarchy is constructed, which furthermore induces the algorithm of double-layer topology design. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the validity of the developed algorithms. © 2014 IEEE.

The convergence speed of multi-agent system is a focused issue in the consensus problem. The traditional consensus algorithm is generally discussed on the single-layer topology. The spectral partitioning algorithm of the complex network and NF algorithm was applied to the optimal decomposition problem of the multi-agent topology and a hierarchical consensus algorithm based on the community decomposition was proposed in this paper. By converting the single-layer consensus problem of the multi-agent system to multi-layer consensus problem, the convergence speed is effectively improved on the premise of maintaining the original topology constraints .The effectiveness of two types of algorithms is demonstrated by simulations compared with the classic model. Then the comparison between the spectral partitioning method and NF algorithm applied to the optimal decomposition problem is proposed. © IFAC.

In order to investigate how coatings of glycerol affects atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were first pretreated with 0.2 and 0.6 mol/l glycerol solutions, respectively, and then were modified by an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) using helium as the carrier gas with a flow rate of 20 l/min, discharge power of 30 W and a radio frequency of 13.56 MHz. After the plasma treatment, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis revealed that the glycerol coated-APPJ treated samples possessed smoother surface than the APPJ directly treated samples. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that the changed content of oxygen containing groups on the surface of the glycerol coated groups compared with the non-glycerol coated group was mainly due to the remaining glycerol on the fiber surfaces. The water contact angle test revealed that the wettability of the glycerol coated-APPJ treated fibers decreased slightly in comparison with the APPJ directly treated fibers. Furthermore, the microbond pull-out test indicated that the interfacial bonding of the fiber to epoxy resin decreased when the fiber was pretreated with glycerol before plasma treatment. Therefore, it was concluded that the presence of glycerol on fiber surface weakened the effectiveness of APPJ treatment of UHMWPE fibers in improving the interfacial bonding to epoxy. This was mainly attributed to the consumption of plasma energy in etching the glycerol layer on the fiber surface and a weak interfacial layer due to the presence of residual glycerol. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

In this work the effect of atmospheric plasma treatment on carbon fiber has been studied. The carbon fibers were treated for 1, 3 and 5 min with a He/O 2 dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric pressure plasma. The fiber surface morphology, surface chemical composition and interfacial shear strength between the carbon fiber and epoxy resin were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the single fiber composite fragmentation test. Compared to untreated carbon fibers, the plasma treated fiber surfaces exhibited surface morphological and surface composition changes. The fiber surfaces were found to be roughened, the oxygen content on the fiber surfaces increased, and the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) improved after the atmospheric pressure plasma treatment. The fiber strength showed no significant changes after the plasma treatment. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2011.

Plasma treatment is frequently used to modify carbon fiber surfaces to improve adhesion of the fiber to matrices although it may also influence carbon fiber tensile strength. In order to determine the effect of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on carbon fiber tensile strength and interfacial bonding strength to polyimide, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fibers are treated with atmospheric pressure oxygen/helium plasmas for different durations. Tensile strength change of the fiber is studied at different gage lengths before and after the plasma treatment. Interfacial bonding between the carbon fiber and a thermoplastic polyimide matrix is evaluated using a single fiber composite test system. Weibull analysis of the single fiber tensile test data shows no obvious changes in the tensile strength at short gage lengths after plasma treatment while the fiber strength tends to decrease at larger gage lengths. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) show that the plasma treatments roughen the fiber surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of fiber surface shows a significant increase of oxygen concentration after plasma treatment and the oxygen containing functional groups reach their maximum levels after 32 s treatment time and further increasing treatment time does not achieve a higher level of oxidation. Plasma treatments decrease dynamic water contact angles and increase the surface energy of the carbon fibers as measured by the modified Wilhelmy method. The interfacial shear strength is improved 21% after the atmospheric pressure plasma treatment for 32 s. It is concluded that the increase of oxygen containing functional groups and changing of the surface topology may contribute collectively to the improvement of fiber/resin interfacial adhesion. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

A three-dimensionally integrated microstrip antenna (3DIMA) is a microstrip antenna woven into the three-dimensional woven composite for load bearing while functioning as an antenna. In this study, the effect of conductive yarn crimp on electromagnetic performance of 3DIMAs are investigated by designing, simulating and experimental testing of two microstrip antennas with different patch woven structures: one woven in plain weave pattern with most yarn crimp and the other woven orthogonally without yarn crimp. The measured voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the crimp free 3DIMA was 1.05 at the resonant frequency of 1.31 GHz; while that of the crimped 3DIMA was 1.78 at the resonant frequency of 1.41 GHz. In addition, the measured radiation pattern of the crimp free 3DIMA in its radiating patch has smaller back lobe and side lobes than those of the crimped 3DIMA. This result indicates that yarn crimp may have a negative impact on electromagnetic performance of textile structural antennas. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Asymmetric Oligopoly and Foreign Direct Investment: Implications for Host-Country Tax-Setting
We present a duopoly model with heterogeneous firms that vary in cost-efficiency, each of which can choose to serve a foreign market by either exporting or local production. We do so to analyse the effects of a host-country corporate profit tax on both the scale and composition of FDI, and find that: strategic interaction between oligopolistic firms provides for a pattern of FDI that favours cost-inefficiency to the detriment of host-country welfare; and the host-country tax rate can be optimally used to avoid such patterns of FDI and instead promote direct investment by a relatively cost-efficient firm.

To keep room at warm condition during cold weather, people use some home appliances. You might be familiar with air conditioner, though it is hardly to increase the extensive level of temperature. This device still works well on limited area or small room. Heat pump is one of choice for creating heat. It takes heat from surrounding then spread it into the room through particular pipe. It is installed on outside of room, but cold weather makes it provide the less heat. Therefore, heat pump is less effective in extreme cold condition. Moreover, regular heater uses electric to burn metal plate then produces the heat for room.
The next one will be more favorable than previous appliances. It is called furnaces that means literally burning. This device has advantages compared to regular heater and heat pump. Air conditioner is excluded from the list because it is less capable for creating heat. The design is compact and simple like cabinet, but it is made of strong steel. Special vent is on top as place to exhaust heat. You do not have to install or put on outside like heat pump. This stuff is good to be placed indoor on the room or in residential area. Many manufacturer offers more than seven years guarantee to prove the device capability. Moreover, it needs less energy than regular heater.
One of top products is Infinity 59MN7 from Carrier. It gets 98% of efficiency level which exhibits high capability of this device. Carrier has been on market for heating system since long time ago. Every product is designed to fulfil customer needs and preference. Infinity Series use advanced technology to assist customer control room temperature. Modulating motor inside cabinet can be adjusted to suit the output that you want. It has blower in variable speed to reduce the heat immediately and bring back gain when necessary. Infinity from Carrier receives many awards as eco-friendly and the most efficient heater. This device represent majority of product in market, though some of them might have efficiency level below 90%.

Noelle Clough's Husband Was So Upset About a Cosmo Magazine Quiz That He Asked Her to Stab Him. She Did
Have you ever been so upset about a quiz in Cosmo magazine that you just wanted someone to stab you?
We're not sure what the answer to that is, but police say that's what Noelle Clough's husband did on Sunday.
Sure enough, Clough, 22, complied with her husband's request and stabbed him, according to court documents obtained by New Times.
Mesa police got the call around 4 a.m. Sunday, when Clough said her husband was cut in the back, and needed stitches.

Clough told a dispatcher that her husband was choking her, so she pulled a knife on him before telling the dispatcher to "take me away."
Sure enough, police arrived and found Clough's husband had a cut on his back, but Clough told a slightly different story to the cops after they arrived.
Aside from telling police she was a "monster" -- and her requesting a few times that the cops to shoot her -- Clough told police a story that didn't include choking, but did include Cosmo magazine.
According to the documents, Clough said she and her husband were drinking for a "long period" before the fight broke out, and the cause of that fight was a quiz in the magazine.
That quiz then sparked a more specific argument on ex-lovers, Clough said, before her husband threw a pair of knives on the floor and said, "There is the knife; stab me."
The two argued a little more. Clough said that as she tried to cut him with the knife while he was walking a way, she accidentally stabbed him, according to the documents.
The Mesa police officer writes in his report that he asked Clough if she'd been assaulted before she stabbed her husband, and she said her husband did not.
While Clough was in the back of the patrol car en route to jail, Clough reverted to her initial story, that her husband had choked her during the Cosmo argument.
The officer notes Clough didn't have any visible injuries.
Clough was jailed on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Email Access
Want to access your email?
Why are we moving faculty and staff email to the cloud?
Exchange Online provides a number of benefits to faculty, staff, and the university, including:
- Decreased hardware and maintenance costs
- Greater reliability
- Stronger email virus and spam protection
- Larger mailboxes (50Gb instead of 1Gb)
I'm a student. Will this affect me?
No. Student email is offered through GMail and is unaffected by the Exchange migration.
Can I opt out of the email migration?
All faculty and staff mailboxes will be migrated to Exchange Online, and the campus email servers will be decommissioned. CSU, Chico will no longer host expensive email services onsite. As a result, there is no way to opt out of the migration. To get help with the migration contact IT Support Services at 898-4357 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Email Configuration
Most email configuration questions can answered by visiting the Exchange Online knowledgebase article.
Can I continue to use Outlook 2010 or do I have to upgrade to Outlook 2013?
Yes, it is possible to continue using Office 2010 but your mileage will vary as time goes on. We recommend that PC users upgrade to Outlook 2013 for the best performance. Mac users should upgrade to Outlook 2011. For some of the early adopters, Outlook 2010 handled the migration just fine. For others, some unpredictable things happened. Emails were not lost but some had to rebuild their user profiles or go through repeated logins, etc.
The early adopters that are on Outlook 2013 have moved without issues. Keep in mind the new features in Exchange Online are in place for Outlook 2013. When Exchange server version 2016/17 is released, we will get moved to the new version automatically, and at that point Outlook 2010 may have issues. This is why we are recommending users migrate to Office 2013 now.
What are the POP and IMAP email settings for Exchange Online?
POP Settings
Server name: outlook.office365.com
Port: 995
Encryption method: SSL
IMAP Settings
Server name: outlook.office365.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: SSL
SMTP Settings
Server name: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: TLS
What format should my user name be?
For Exchange Online, you need to give it your full email address, e.g., firstname.lastname@example.com.
chico\yourname and yourname will no longer work to log into your email.
How do I get help with configuring my email?
Please refer to the Tutorials and Support page for information on configuring your email.
You can also contact IT Support Services at 898-4357 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dinobot is a Predacon ruled by honor. He lives to die gloriously in battle. When he aided Megatron in the theft of the Golden Disk under the order of Cryotek, Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory. But when he and his Predacon peers of the Darksyde crashed on what seemed to be the wrong planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, the Axalon, he rebelled against Megatron and joined the Maximal team, giving them a tactical advantage against his former side. As such, he is the only Maximal with a dinosaur for an animal form. It would be an uneasy alliance (especially from Rattrap), fraught with turns of loyalty and turns of Shakespearean phrase. But it also led to strong friendships and even the salvation of all humanity.
- Dinobot will also be Hurricane Cloud's Guardian.
- Dinobot will meet Connor Lacey and Pals in Connor Lacey's Adventures of Beast Wars Transformers.

Miku Hatsune PVC Figure and Nendos
First released in September of last year by Good Smile Company, the 1/8 Miku Hatsune PVC figure has already been re-released in October due to its high demand.
Unfortunately, I did not start collecting figures yet at the time, so I missed out on this great offering. Miku Hatsune is the first installment in the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series (Wikipedia).
The quality is what I've come to expect from Good Smile Company. I like the vivid shade of blue/green used along with her long characteristic ponytails. In the first picture, a nendo Miku Hatsune is shown, also by GSC. In comparison to that, GSC has the Nendoroid MikkuMiku Kagami shown below.
This is Kagami from Lucky Star cosplaying as Miku Hatsune. If I had to choose between the two nendos, I would probably go with Kagami because of her cute expressions (^_^) although both versions are awesome. Once I get some extra money, it's hunting time on the net for these figures.
Picture Sources: Good Smile Company (Miku Hatsune, Nendoroid MikkuMiku Kagami)
One Comments to "Miku Hatsune PVC Figure and Nendos"
Kagamiku and Miku is a tough choice to choose from.
Both are equally as good ^^ But Miku twin tails lets her stand better! I guess get both if budget allows =D

MUCH better than other HI's. I was hesitant and looked at the Crowne Plaze but boy am I glad I stayed here. Easy access to the mall (and food), the Gautrain is out front and the people are super friendly. The internet is a bit dodgy and make sure you log out if you purchase a voucher, but all in all a great hotel.

Various Pieces
"Pebble Beach"
15" x 15" Dyed and textured Box Elder Platter. It looks like a river with a rocky shore. This can be used to display or serve dry goods, but could be purely decorative and even hung on the wall.
Dyed Curly Maple Plate.
This 12" plate can either go on the wall or on a table. It can be used to serve dry food such as crackers, but should not be used for wet items, to protect the finish. It is created as an Object d'Art primarily to be viewed for its beauty more than its functionality.
This is a 16X14" Piece of Curly Bird's Eye Maple which was turned and dyed. The wood has unusually prominent figure and is not found very often. It is meant to be an artistic piece to be viewed but could serve dry food or hold dry objects. It can go on the wall, the mantle or the table. The wavy figure and coloring make me think of a rain storm in the summer.

Try it wet, too - any shadow becomes a liquid liner with a few drops of water. The Liner Brush is also our recommended tool for brows. All Urban Decay brushes are cruelty-free AND vegan. Our brush "hair" is actually a super soft material made from recycled PET plastic bottles - WAY better than sacrificing cute little animals for their hair! We used recycled aluminum to craft the sleek gunmetal handles. Even the outer boxes are made from recycled egg crate material All this means nothing if the brushes don t perform.

It's so hard to find a good liner brush, but Urban Decay slays it with their Good Karma Liner Brush! It's extremely inexpensive and extremely easy to use with gel liner. This was the first Urban Decay brush I ever purchased and I will definitely be buying more in the future!
I love the Good Karma Liner brush. As someone who only uses a eyeshadow or gel based eyeliner this is so useful and a product I will continue to use. It is a little on the pricey side for a makeup brush but i am so satisfied with this brush and its smooth application.
I love everything urban decay so obviously I had to try this out! It feel amazing on my eyes. It is 100% worth the buy! It's better than any other brush I've used!! I would buy again but hopefully I won't need to!!
This is similar to the perversion angled liner brush. It's a but shorter and wider. I like both but probably didn't need to purchase both.
Great brush for liner. I wasn't so sure about it but it's super easy to apply! I instantly fell in love! I bought it at my local Sephora
I've tried a lot of liner brushes and this one works week and FEELS well. The bristles are soft enough so it's not uncomfortable to use.
This is a great brush. The price is in line with equivalents in the market.
This is perfect I use it everyday for my brows I think it's just great I don't use a lot of brown brushes but when I bought this brown brush won't for my friend got it for me I just like literally fell in love with it I think it's amazing it's great and I just love using it and make some doing my brows easy and I would just totally get this product because it makes your brows look like the bom
This is one of my favorite eye brushes of all time! It's so easy to apply on small tight areas! I bought it at Sephora with some lovely assistance I was able to find the perfect brush for applying dark or warm colors underneath my eyes! I'd repurchase and totally recommend!
I decided to give it a try and At first I thought it was a bit expensive but I decided to use it as a lip liner before applying my lipstick (liner with lipstick) and it worked nicely. I wouldn't spend that much money on a liner if you don't use make up everyday though.

I have loved Lands End for their slacks and their shirts forever. Some of my favorite summer shirts, almost always white, some times with dressing stripes I had for years, they always fit and feel good, easy to wear and as you said, they last.
My favorite designer is Lilith and once in a while I treat myself to a whimsical piece from her collection. Her clothes are beautifully made and they last and they always made me smile when I wear them. Thank you for stopping by today and I do hope to feel better soon. This is a very nasty cold with fever and the works. I am staying in bed without a gram of guilt so you must know how bad it must be ;-)

We will be learning 4 sounds a week. One every day and then reviewing them on Friday. This month we shall be revisiting all 26 sounds that we have already explored in term one , before we venture into reading in February.

January 25th, 2013 ~ Okay, this is just a bit of fun after a terrifying election where GOP operatives did everything possible to disenfranchise American voters. Enjoy!
January 21st, 2013 ~ Today, the ceremonial inauguration of Barack Obama for his second term as President of the United States was held at our U.S. Capitol. Sen. Chuck Schumer masterfully kept things moving at a bracing clip up to our President's surprisingly comprehensive inaugural speech. Surprising because, as many of the attendant pundits noted, climate change and energy policy occupied an unexpectedly central position and our President left no doubt that both would hold equally central roles in his second term administration.
We've known from the beginning of his first term, that President Obama intended for green energy technologies to play a key role in America's energy future and rekindling of our technological preeminence. However, after last year's Western wildfires, two years of drought, and Hurricane Sandy's devastation of our Northeast coast, his goals have taken on a new urgency and vigor. Where no mention was made of climate change and passing mention of energy policy in his 2009 inaugural speech, they are now major themes expressed with passion and resolve.
Perhaps now is the time to rekindle my own advocacy for Fusion Energy. Current renewable energy systems are all dependent, to one degree or another, on the availability of external resources to provide industrial levels of electrical energy. Hydroelectric plants need water, yet ongoing droughts imperil water levels (not to mention greatly reducing carbon sequestration due to blighted corn and grain crops). Solar arrays need sunlight, yet massive storms can blot out the sun for days and hurricane-force winds are inarguably an even worse environment for wind turbines than no wind at all. So, that leaves only fossil fuels and nuclear fission. All provide industrial levels of power; all are dead ends for America and the world. Fusion energy can change all that.
Fusion powerplants will be fueled by an abundant element of sea water, Deuterium, and will have one and only one by-product: Helium. Think party balloons; funny voices. No carbon-dioxide, no methane, no radioactive waste to bury somewhere for 10,000 years. Fusion powerplants will provide day and night, 24x7, 365 days a year industrial levels of electricity to power steel mills, factories, and cities. Fusion will have no risks of massive spills, explosions, or radioactive nightmares. Fusion will have no WMD potential like fission powerplants and their transuranic byproducts. Fusion will be an entirely American energy solution with no foreign dependencies or entanglements. Fusion will create hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying, AMERICAN jobs; both directly and by way of spin-off technologies.
I don't know if our President was thinking of fusion power when he made his striking inaugural points about climate change and energy policy. I do know America needs our brightest and best engineers and scientists, focused like lasers, to design and build the first, commercially viable, pilot Fusion powerplant by 2025. If that seems an impossible task, I would note that we do not come new to this endeavor, nor are we alone among nations in pursuing the promise of limitless, clean, fusion energy.
I would also remind you of another President who, in 1962, challenged us at Rice University with these words...
"But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold."
"...We Must Be Bold."
Are we any less "Bold" today? Is America less capable of meeting such daunting technological challenges? Is America no longer the land of the brightest and the best? You and I KNOW, without reservation, the answer to those questions.
I believe our President is serious about reversing global climate change and leaving future generations with a world of breathable air, drinkable water, and edible food; a world where our natural heritage has not been stripped to bare rock by corporate greed. If, however, we are to embrace that bright future in an audacious and hopeful manner, Fusion Energy must finally receive the attention and funding it deserves. Our children and their children deserve no less.
January 11th, 2013 ~ I've been watching the MSM trying to report on America's heightened focus on guns in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shootings and as usual, our MSM has gone for cheap sensationalism at the expense of substance. I don't know whether they do this on purpose, or accidently, but the end result is a mess; focused, as usual, on the wrong things.
Certainly, background checks of ALL gun purchases is a good idea. Would our current background check procedures have prevented the Newtown travesty? No. The guns used in that butchery belonged to the killer's mother; not to him.
Would an assault weapons ban have prevented the 2006 West Nickel Mines Amish School massacre, the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, or the Binghampton New York killings? Would it have ameliorated the 2011 shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others at a Tucson supermarket or the Sikh Temple murders of 2012? Again, No. None of those shootings involved a so-called "assault weapon".
Many DID involve standard pistols, the kinds many lawful citizens own, fitted with large-capacity ammunition magazines. So what does that tell us about where we need to focus our attention? Might it be the magazines?
Still, while we may never be certain that enhanced enforcement of background checks or an assault weapons ban will be effective, we can be 100% certain that doing nothing will not be. If even one life is saved from a maniac's rampage as a result, that's certainly something.
January 8th, 2013 ~ On January Third, the 113th Congress was sworn in and began their business; ostensibly on behalf of the American People. As I write this, there are zero Independents in the House and only two in the Senate, so what I'm about to predict may sound pretty crazy. I predict that in the next four years, we are going to see an explosion of Senators and Representatives running and winning seats as Independents.
Let me explain...
I believe the Republican party is close to imploding. It may not shrink to a neutron star or singularity in the next four years, but it has already become an embarrassment and a political liability to the rational, TRULY Conservative Statesmen and Stateswomen one finds in the Northeast, Midwest, and even some Western states. The xenophobic, old, Southern, white male Kudzu is slowly and inexorably strangling the "Party of Lincoln" to death and nobody with any political aspirations wants to be tapped as a pallbearer.
In 2014, I predict we will see a number of former Republicans running for the U.S. House and perhaps the Senate as Independents. The smart ones will be incumbents who already have a ground game. The not-so-smart will be hard-right incumbents, suddenly confronted in primary challenges by former Republicans who see the Kudzu and know what it means. Great news for Democrats, right?
While rational, pragmatic, conservatives may be the Avant-Garde of an Independent movement, the frothing, gibbering, GOP lunatics of the Congress have had the side-effect of driving some Democratic legislators even further to the left. Certainly not to the pathological extremes we've seen with the GOP, but enough to make some just as intransigent in their "ideological purity" as any fringe Republican.
I predict by 2016, we will see moderates and centrists of BOTH the Republican and Democratic parties running as Independents. Ultimately, by 2020, the "Independent Block" will be a political force both parties will need to court if they hope to pass ANY legislation.
Some will say this can NEVER happen. Some will say the political machinery of bipartite government is so deeply entrenched that there is no financial or political support for such a movement. Some will cynically note the history of such third-party initiatives as the babies drowned in the bathwater of political expediency and replaced with less threatening changelings. Some are absolutely clueless about our national zeitgeist.
Americans are TRULY fed up with the Left/Right, Pseudo-liberal/Pseudo-conservative, ping-pong game where WE'RE the ping-pong ball. We're sick of the MSM reducing our complex political issues to banal sports metaphores and creating false equivalencies where none actually exist. We desperately need Statesmen and Stateswomen who respect our intelligence and are courageous enough to defend their positions with clear and logical arguments in the public square. Above all, we earnestly yearn for legislators whose fealty is first and foremost to The American People; not tools of their respective parties or their big-money donors.
Thinking Americans WILL support rational, reasonable, Independent candidates for office with our pennies, our dollars, our grassroots support, AND OUR VOTES. Crazy? Maybe. But if the full-blown insanity under our capitol dome these days is our ONLY option, how crazy can I be?
January 4th, 2013 ~ Happy New Year! It truly IS happy for hundreds of millions of lower and middle income Americans who won't see a tax hike or and end to their unemployment insurance benefits this year, thanks to the brilliant negotiating skills of our Vice President, Joe Biden. Of course, we're now hearing GOP rumblings about the normally unremarkable extension of our national debt ceiling.
A number of Congressional "Young Guns" feel that debt ceiling extension should be inextricably linked to ongoing budget negotiations. Certainly, both have something to do with government spending, but while the budget debate deals with what our government WILL SPEND (future tense), the debt ceiling relates solely to what our government HAS ALREADY SPENT (past tense).
The debt ceiling is, quite simply, the "bar tab" for spending our Congress has already incurred. If GOP legislators ran up that tab like a bunch of drunken sailors for their unfunded Iraq War, their unfunded Medicare Part D, their billions in subsidies and tax breaks to the fossil fuels industry, you and I are ALREADY on the hook for their profligacy.
In the next two to three months, some members of Congress will claim they're "morally opposed" to paying their bar tab. They will attempt to throw our 401K's, our national reputation, our entire economy onto the bonfire of their hypocrisy. They did it in 2011 and caused the first downgrade in America's AAA bond rating in history. That downgrade cost us BILLIONS in equity; as individuals and as a nation. They'll try it again in 2013.
We must call them on it. Call them, email them, write them over and over again; just like their "Too Big to Fail" banking collection agencies harass average Americans every day. Let them know they can and SHOULD negotiate the leanest federal budget possible without hurting America's elderly, studends, or those among us barely scraping by.
But let them also know extension of our debt ceiling is NON-NEGOTIABLE. It is NOT to be held hostage to some bullshit idealogy, which is insensate to a growing deficit under a Republican administration, yet vociferously takes umbrage when the bill comes due under a Democratic administration. I urge you to contact your Senators and your Congressional Representative to decouple their debt ceiling vote from all budget/sequestration negotiations. America ALWAYS pays its debts.
