This fine is nothing to the rich, but the poor can't afford it. The fine only hurts the poor people. The fine should be set to go up higher, the more money you make. So if Bill Gates doesn't pay for his medical insurance, he should pay 50% of his income as a fine. He has no excuse for not paying it and a $95 fine, isn't even a punishment to Bill Gates, it's a tip he leaves the bartender.
A homeless man told me he was going to prison for sleeping on the sidewalk. I said, "they can't put you in prison for sleeping on the sidewalk". He got a five dollar loitering fine for sleeping on the sidewalk. When he didn't pay the five dollar fine, he had to pay penalties and interest. When he couldn't pay the penalties and interest, he had a court date. He didn't have the five dollars for the fine and he didn't have the bus fare to make it to court. So now he had court cost, fines and penalties and interest. After five years he owed over $1800 in fines and penalties for the five dollar sleeping on the sidewalk ticket. The judge didn't even bother looking at the five years of paperwork, the way he looked at it, this guy owed $1800 and he was going to pay it and so he will send him to prison.
One guy did not pay child support. They can't put you in prison for not paying child support, can they? When he didn't pay his child support, they took his driver's license. He had to drive to work, but got a ticket for driving with no license. Sooner or later not paying child support will send you to prison. Can they take away your drivers license, if you don't pay for your medical insurance and the fines you accumulate, for not paying for it? What if you get a court date and you can't make it to court, because they took your drivers license? There's nothing more evil than a affordable healthcare plan, that forces people to pay fines, if they don't purchase it.
This is what's going to happen to the people who cannot afford to pay for their medical insurance. The whole purpose of medical reform was to give insurance to people who could not afford it. But the institutions that wrote the medical reform act or Obamacare, which was supposed to be affordable healthcare, turned out to be a law that would send people to prison who refused to pay for medical insurance. And quite possibly have their children taken away from them for child neglect, if they didn't purchase for them health insurance. They want to make it look like you're neglecting or starving your children, if you don't purchase medical insurance for them.
The people who are going to be hurt the most by the so-called "affordable healthcare" are the people who could not afford insurance in the 1st place. But things are 10 times worse. Now employers are going to cut the poor peoples hours, so that they don't have to pay half of the people's medical insurance. This means poor people, will not only have their hours cut and paychecks cut, they will be forced to pay 100% of their medical coverage.
Oh but they say if you make less than $10,000 a year, your insurance will be free. But nobody who works, will be making less than $10,000 a year, just for the fact that minimum wage will prevent that. So people who make minimum wage will have their hours cut so that employers don't have to pay half of their medical insurance. Let's do the math.
Minimum wage in 2013 in Michigan is 7:40 an hour. Under the affordable healthcare act, employers will have to pay insurance on employees that work more than 30 hours a week. So most minimum wage workers hours will be cut to 29 - 35 hours a week at $7.40 an hour. That's $214.60 to $259.60 a week or $11,159.20 to $13,468.00 a year.
Oh my God, that's enough money for these poor people to be forced to pay 100% of their medical coverage or be fined 1% of their income for the first year. They're making less than $14,000 and they're going to be fined $300 the first year and about $1000 the second year? This is crazy. This is satanic.
The Supreme Court ruled that it was legal to force people to pay for medical coverage because they considered it a tax. Well it should be a tax on the rich not a tax on the poor. Health care should be free for anyone making less than what the politicians consider poor, $250,000 a year. I think healthcare should be free for anyone making less than $50,000 a year, especially if they have a family. You can't raise a family on less than $50,000 a year.
Now the good thing about the healthcare act, is they did put something in it about religion. If it's against your religion you should not be forced to pay for medical coverage, that you don't believe in. This should be a great way to get people to join the Timothean religion because we don't believe in the practice of medicine. The practice of medicine is not an exact science but simply uses people as guinea pigs, so that doctors can learn how to operate on the wealthy. People who purchase medical insurance are making a statement of faith, that they don't believe God will heal them. That's what medical insurance says. It says you have no faith in God.
Fire insurance, health insurance, automobile insurance, life insurance, all say you have no faith in God and that's why you're purchasing insurance. You don't believe in God if you're buying insurance.
I don't care if my medical insurance is free. The fact that they're only going to use me as a guinea pig to operate on, so they can learn how to operate on the rich, tells me I'd rather be dead, than go to a doctor. The doctors assure me they operated on many prison inmates and poor people much poorer than me so I can be confident the operation will be a success. Well no thank you, I don't want to spend eternity being burned and tortured in hell by benefitting off the suffering of others. So now it's official dogma that the Timothean religion does not believe in the practice of medicine and you cannot be a Timothean if you have medical insurance.
The way to end this government shutdown is to make it very clear that certain religious people will not have to purchase medical insurance.
The limit on how much a person can make before they are forced to purchase medical insurance has to be raised to at least $50,000 a year. Remember the Supreme Court approved forcing people to pay for medical insurance, because they considered it as a tax on the rich not oppression of the poor. The Supreme Court passed it, to benefit the poor, not punish them. Obama said the Supreme Court has already ruled that people can be forced to pay for medical coverage. But the Supreme Court did not rule that poor people making under $50,000 a year, could be forced to pay for medical coverage. Obamacare is a tax on the rich.
If you don't want to be forced to pay for medical coverage, join the Timothean religion. If the Pope wanted to serve Jesus, he would excommunicate all those who purchase medical insurance.
Affordable healthcare, Obamacare, Timothean religion, Supreme Court, tax the rich, minimum wage, health insurance, life insurance, fire insurance, car insurance, insurance

New Delhi: With election season closing-in, government took a populist measure on Wednesday. It slashed prices of petrol by Rs5 a litre, diesel by Rs2 a litre and cooking gas by Rs25 per cylinder. No doubt this mini-booster will stimulate growth, help auto industry and inflation.
But there can be a flip side too. The margins that oil companies get from selling a litre of petrol comes down to Rs2 and for diesel less than one rupee. Under recovery or ---the difference between the selling price and the cost--- for a cylinder of LPG goes up from Rs32 to Rs57. So maybe its good politics on the back of bad economics.
Engineering giant Larsen and Toubro, first to throw its hat into the ring, has tripled its stake in Satyam to 12% and is seeking management control.
It's over a month Raju made his famous disclosure and the Securities and Exchange Board of India, most competent to go into probe the scam, has still not been allowed to meet the arrested accused. Meanwhile the new board is yet to appoint a CEO.
The world's largest drug maker- Pfizer announced it would be buying New Jersey based Wyeth for $68 billion.
Pfizer would borrow $22.5 billion from banks to finance the deal. The company plans to use stock and its cash reserves to fund the rest of the transaction. The deal was announced even as Pfizer's fourth quarter net income plunged 90% to $266 million from $2.72 billion.
Back home, Reserve Bank of India has hit the pause button. In its third quarterly review of the credit policy it has kept key policy rates and reserve ratios unchanged but lowered the GDP forecast to 7% from 7.5 to 8% earlier. RBI also lowered inflation estimates to 3% by March end.
The effects of the economic slowdown have begun to hurt corporate India, and it's most visible in the domestic auto industry. The country's largest passenger car-maker, Maruti Suzuki, reported a 54.3% fall in profits in its third quarter (Q3).
On Friday, Central Statistical Organisation, released GDP figures for 07-08 at 9%. For three consecutive years Indian economy has scored 9%. Have a hard look because after the downturn it could be long before India turns to this record!
And on Monday India celebrated its 60th Republic day amid tight security.
That's all we have for the week. Have a great weekend!

What I'm thinking: I have kept a journal since my husband and I were married. It is not a bare your heart type of journal; my kids love reading it and remembering what we did. And we do refer to it when we are trying to remember what we did during our Christmas vacation in 2003. But I am starting to get further and further behind with it. And maybe this blog is the reason why. I write stuff on here, then think of it as recorded in our family history. And it is a handwritten journal, which is more time consuming than I would like. So I am thinking of starting a journal as a word document...I sure type faster than I write. (Not that I am a fast typer; my Sweetie takes that award.) What do you all think? How do you record your family history?
What I'm reading: I am about a quarter of the way through Age of Opportunity by Paul David Tripp. Some good quotes so far: "[Children] are given not to bring us glory, but Him." and, "These years are hard for us because they expose the wrong thoughts and desires of our own hearts." This is a great book to read if you have or are going to have adolescents in your home.
What I'm listening to: Well, I am listening to what sounds are in our home every weekday morning between 7:30 and 8am. And that would be Bookworm practicing the piano downstairs and Mr. Lego strumming the guitar upstairs. Maybe I should tweak this question and answer what it is I am thinking I will hear sometime today, like the rain drops on the drain outside (it's raining right now), or that I'm planning to stick in a Fernando Ortega CD to listen to this afternoon.
What we're learning: This week Dasher is doing narrations and copywork from The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks by Nancy McArthur and the older children are learning about noun modifiers and adverb clauses in their Writing Skills book. In history we are learning about Dante, the Aztecs, and the Hundred Years' War.
What I'm watching: The price of gas going up and up. This is when I am really thankful that I don't have to drive the kids to and from school every day and we live where I can do all my shopping in one town.
What's cooking: Last Thanksgiving I bought two turkeys and so there is one defrosting in my fridge right now. I think we'll have it Wednesday, with dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and a salad. Then Turkey Soup of course on Thursday!
What I'm buying: I can't think of anything I need to go out and buy this week, except for our weekly grocery trip on Friday.
What I'm thankful for: A husband who likes to fix things. We have saved so much money over the years because, instead of doing the easy thing and calling a repair man, he does research and sees if he can fix it himself. And most of the time he can. With the help of Mr. Lego!
What I'm creating: I can't think of anything I am creating this week. Some weeks I need to focus on the ordinary: the homeschooling, cleaning and cooking.
What I'm praying: For our missionaries serving in foreign countries. It is easy to forget those who are sacrificing so much so that the gospel can be spread.
What I'm planning: Fair is starting to be on my mind more. We are going to start fattening up our baby rabbit for the market competition, the older ones need to start practicing showmanship, and also brushing up on their rabbit knowledge for rabbit bowl.
What we did this last weekend: We went to a few garage sales on Saturday morning; I found kids clothes for 50 cents each, a covered picnic basket for $2 and a chalkboard easel for $4. Yesterday we heard an encouraging sermon at church, then went to our friends house for an afternoon of fellowship, munchies, wine, gourmet pizza and a lovely walk to the creek.
What I'm looking forward to: This is a more quiet week; our co-op is taking a break and we only have our 4-H rabbit meeting to go to.
A picture to share:
~I bought a bunch of daffodils last week and when they opened, one had an orange center!

Trading in Africa without currency
- Details
- Category: Shelley Galliver
- Published on 30 May 2016
- Hits: 427
By Shelley Galliver
Our newest contributor, Shelley Galliver, looks at the difficulties of doing business in Africa.
There is currently a problem throughout Africa where we find that countries do not have access to foreign currency. This poses a real challenge for trade businesses that are buying products from South Africa or importing from overseas.
"Africa is not a place for sissies!"
We have seen this happen in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of Congo in recent times. This can severely impact on local business. Not being able to pay suppliers can hold back further shipments of stock, as well as not being able to secure physical cash in country from trading, as people's 'disposable income' is depleted.
Some people seem to think this is caused by the governments having to pay the World Bank for loans provided and therefore use all the available currency to pay debt, leaving nothing but 'fictitious' numbers in the bank accounts, of money you have but cannot access. You are limited by what you are allowed to draw out of the bank on a daily basis. We find large international banks will often not deposit cash into the country's Central Bank, as it doesn't 'come out the other end', that is, it is often not paid to the relevant countries or companies.
So banks resort to flying out the physical cash in airplanes, back to South Africa. This surely also largely impacts on currency shortage. The people in country, who have physical cash to spend or are paid in cash, also become hesitant to invest it into the banking system, preferring to store it 'under the mattress' at home. Again, this leads to a drain of currency in the market.
But then we consider that so many countries are affected almost simultaneously. And, with the disinvestment of overseas companies and organisations, and the drop in copper and oil prices, which are key to the survival of single economy countries, perhaps we are seeing the effect of non-investment from outside African borders. So although we have an abundance of natural resources, without foreign investment to mine and develop these resources, not to mention the foreign markets purchasing power of these resources, Africa is stuck with a lot of potential and no means to do anything with it or even able to prosper on a local level because, let's be brutally honest, cash is king and money makes the world go round, after all.
It's not all doom and gloom, though. Companies that are already established in various African countries have learned to ride the wave of good times and bad, and perhaps have become experts in managing the crises. Supplier understanding of the challenges these businesses face is paramount, but these same suppliers will benefit when the economy turns, as this loyalty will always be rewarded. As they say, "Africa is not a place for sissies!"

Today was the first day that made me feel that spring was coming. Temperatures in the mid-40s, mixed sun and clouds, a steady breeze all day. The ground turning into mud, the rivers bank full. The snow banks that were so big this year turning into smaller and smaller dirty little mounds. I keep saying to myself, "it can't last. no matter what we get now, it can't last" Warm days, cold nights. Sap starting to run. Vermont mud everywhere you go. The air somehow freshening. A little sinus pressure with the change of the weather systems. Some small spring bulbs pushing up through the ground here and there. Yes, spring.
Took a walk at lunchtime today. I need to start walking more. I start physical therapy on Monday for some strengthening on that left side. I have some leg weights that have adjustable weights. I just might get to use them soon.

DuPont (Wilmington, Del., USA) reports that an oil sump molded from DuPont Zytel nylon resin is helping the Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania meet new challenges with regard to noise, emissions and weight. The lightweight yet equally robust oil sump — the lower shell of the oil pan module — is among the host of innovative technical solutions incorporated by Scania in its new Euro 6 engines. It has enabled a reduction in the weight of the component by more than 50 percent, or 6 kg/13.2 lb, versus its aluminum predecessor to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
The application was produced in Sweden by the Plastal Group AB, a supplier of engineered plastics to the automotive industry, with the material, design and processing support of DuPont representatives in the country and across Europe and the input of prototype specialists Idé-Pro of Skive, Denmark.
The material used is a heat-stabilized, 35 percent glass-fiber reinforced grade of Zytel 66 nylon. The adoption of the DuPont material for this application — a first for the truck market and only the second development for commercial production vehicles worldwide following the launch of the award-winning Daimler oil pan module in 2008 — is expected to dampen engine noise to help meet Euro 6 noise emission standards.
According to the development team at Scania, their main reasons for choosing Zytel nylon were that it meets technical requirements when used in oxidized oil and still provides the necessary level of impact performance. Having settled on the initial design and material, Scania contacted Idé-Pro to undertake the first steps in the part's development.
Beyond material selection, DuPont also assisted Scania in refining the sump's design and the production process, particularly with regard to achieving a consistently tight seal between the sump and the engine. This required precise tolerance control of a large component, measuring 847 mm by 467 mm by 203 mm, achieved by comprehensive mold flow analyses, prototype testing and ongoing optimization of processing parameters.
The pan was tested at the DuPont European Technical Centre in Geneva, where an air cannon was used to fire steel balls at an angle of 45° and at a speed of 80 kph/50 mph at the sump. These tests confirmed that the ribs effectively dissipate the impact energy, becoming damaged in the process, while the structural integrity of the sump remained preserved.

Christian Discernment
So with that in mind I present to you perhaps the worst example of discernment possible by the FBC Senior Choir in Columbia, South Carolina. For some unknown reason Music Director, Keith Watson has managed to convince those in the choir to sing and perform several secular songs of ill repute. This might have been a self-contained incident that was dealt with internally were it not for several of these clips going viral on YouTube.
Such songs include: Eminem's "Lose Yourself," Chamillionaire's "Ridin Dirty," OutKast's "Hey Ya!," Pussycat Dolls, "Don't Cha," MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," and Nelly's "Hot in Herre."
Some songs are worse than others but I would argue none of these songs should be sung by a church choir. I Google searched for the lyrics to "Hot in Herre" (performed below) and was even more appalled than before. But one need not look for lyrics to DISCERN that this is NOT appropriate. I am all about having a good sense of humor. I am all about showing younger generations that the older ones (myself included) are still hip and with it. So the motivations behind these productions might be somewhat understandable. But it amazes me that no one in the staff or membership questioned the value of this idea before it got off the ground. It amazes me even further that this Music Director still has a job.

AMERICAN actor and director Bill Paxton, who rose to stardom with roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as Aliens and Titanic, has died at 61 due to complications from surgery.
"It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery," Paxton's family said in a statement.
"A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker. Bill's passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family's wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father."
He was most famous for his roles in Aliens, Twister and Apollo 13. The latter earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, in 1996.
Hollywood is mourning the loss of Paxton, who passed away just hours before the Academy Awards is due to kick off, with everyone from Tom Hanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger paying tribute to him on Twitter.

10 Terrible TV Shows
Some TV shows become instant classics and others become instant jokes. Here are 10 Terrible TV Shows…
1. My Mother the Car
My Mother the Car aired 30 episodes between September 14, 1965 and April 5, 1966. Critics and viewers both hated it and in 2002 TV Guide claimed it was the second worse show of all time.
WWE owner Vince McMahon attempted to expand into football and take advantage of the NFL off season by creating the XFL (Extreme Football League). Unfortunately, people weren't interested and it was a huge failure. The XFL lasted 1 season in 2001.
3. After Mash
This M*A*S*H Spinoff followed the lives of Colonel Potter, Klinger, and Father Mulcahy after the Korean War ended. It lasted from September 26, 1983 to May 31, 1985 and was cancelled just 9 episodes into the second season.
4. Cop Rock
A musical cop drama that premiered in the 90's, sadly this show wasn't a hit.
5. Who Wants To Marry a Multi-Millionaire?
Gather 50 women from 50 different states and have them compete to marry a multi-millionaire, shockingly this show caused controversy with its swim suit competitions and Q&A sessions. They managed to anger both the liberal National Organization for Women and the conservative Media Research Center, at least the two were able to come together in order to hate this one show.
6. Unhappily Ever After
Unhappily Ever After lasted 100 episodes and featured a schizophrenic, alcoholic whose best friend was a toy rabbit. It aired from January 11, 1995 to May 23, 1999 for 5 seasons.
7. Skins US Version
This one makes me sad, I personally loved the UK version of Skins and also enjoyed the US version however most people weren't fans of the US version. The US just wasn't ready for this show and it caused a lot of controversy for its sexual content. MTV was also accused of airing child pornography and advertisers pulled out left and right.
8. The One: Making a Music Star
This was a Big Brother type of music competition show that was supposed to rival American Idol. It had the lowest ratings for a premier show in ABC's history. The show only lasted for 4 episodes and ended with a winner being "undecided."
9. The Briefcase
Another controversial show, The Briefcase was accused by critics of being exploitative and pitting needy families against each other. Two families were given a briefcase with $101,000 and had to spend 72 hours with the other family, after the time frame they were asked whether they wanted to give away any money or keep it all.
10. The Tom Green Show
The Tom Green Show aired in the US on MTV in 1999 and lasted until March 2000, it was cancelled due to Tom Green's diagnosis of testicular cancer. The show was #41 on TV Guides 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time.
