Swing, Hanging chains
Hanging hooks
Watch your cares melt away as you watch the sun go down from your Cottage Classic Adirondack 4-ft. Porch Swing. The soothing, rocking motion of this classic Adirondack-style swing will make your evening tradition even more relaxing. The swing is made from durable Southern Cypress, which resists decay, splitting, and checking, and is assembled with stainless steel hardware. Choose from a variety of acrylic color stains to coordinate with your outdoor decor. The Cuprinol water-based outdoor stain protects against damaging UV rays to keep the color from fading, and the stainless steel hardware won't rust or discolor the swing.
Hanging hooks and stand not included.
This item comes in an antiqued, weathered finish.
Additional Information:
This product is shipped partially assembled; all necessary fasteners and easy-to-follow instructions are included.
Why does the Cottage Classic collection use an acrylic color stain instead of paint?
Plain and simple…because an acrylic color stain lasts longer. Paint does effectively seal the wood – temporarily. It's the unpainted areas you can't see that create the problems. Screw holes on the underside of every board, for instance, invite moisture to work its way under the painted surface. With no place for the water to go, the result is rotting wood under the surface. Painted Cypress products will begin to deteriorate within two years if left outside in the weather. A water-based or oil-based stain, on the other hand, allows the wood to breathe. Any moisture that gets in can still get out. After the color stain is applied to each Cottage Classic piece, it is lightly sanded to create a slightly weathered look.

ReadWriteLock rwl = getLock();The reason this works is as follows:
Lock lock = rwl.writeLock();
try {
... Perform write operation ...
// downgrade lock safely
final Lock readLock = rwl.readLock();
readLock.lock(); // Possible failure #1
try {
lock.unlock(); // Possible failure #2
} finally {
lock = readLock;
} finally {
1. Anything which fails before possible failure #1 will cause the original lock to unlock, due to the
block.2. If possible failure #1 occurs, the read lock is never locked, thus the write lock is still unlocked in the outer
block.3. If possible failure #2 occurs, the now-locked read lock is stashed into
thanks to the inner finally
block, thus the read lock is released in the outer finally
block. At this point, no matter what, the write lock is released.4. Any failure after possible failure #2 will cause the outer
block to release the read lock.The nice thing about this approach is that you can even downgrade the lock inside of a conditional and the structure is not broken.

A bit too gentle for its own good
By CLTW from Kent , 23 Jun 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This splendidly acted piece of period Irish whimsy is certainly watchable (and beautifully filmed) but rather uninvolving. Not a lot happens which is a shame given the fine cast who seem to have mastered the accents without becoming too Oirish and even Michael Gambon plays against type as a meek, doddering, rather ill former missionary.- Was this review helpful to you?

By lazylinguist (17 reviews) from Newton Abbot , 13 Jan 2012Watched this a long time ago: I remember it as atmospheric and quite visual: I rented it prior to a play reading and as far as I remember it was pretty true to the original so suited my purposes. Very poignant, quite an interesting insight into (female) family dynamics.- Was this review helpful to you?

Streep Dance - more chequebook than Chekhov
By Stephen from North Cornelly, South Wales , 08 Sep 2011Having last watched La Streep in John Patrick Shanleys Doubt it was interesting to see the application of those looks and that voice to Eireann, with the anticipation of her forthcoming outing as the Iron Lady. She looks just like an old friend of mine from Fermanagh and with that accent, it all became a bit unnerving - but that is totally off the point. Whilst Meryl gets away with it, just, Sophie Thompson (sister of Emma) excels and Catherine McCormack looks beautiful, especially on the back of the motorbike, Michael Gambon makes a complete hames of Father Jack, Rhys Ifans is far too paish and what on earth is a Cockney doing living in Donegal? I would certainly have emigrated.
Brian Friel is the natural heir to Synge but hes followed Yates to the land of riches in this early effort. Perhaps the more recent Old Vic production which seems to have owed more to Chekov would have been a better place to pick up on this play that I first ready shortly after its publication. Much that is good, but more that is disappointing here.- Was this review helpful to you?

Where were all the Irish actors?!
By a customer from Lincoln, UK , 24 Mar 2011This film had a fairly good story, although it was a tad depressing at the end. It was quite gentle and lovely to look at, but what really let it down was the array of terrible Oirish accents - where were all the Irish actors when the film was made? It has the American Meryl Streep, the Posh English lady Sophie Thompson, the Common Cockney lady Kathy Burke, and the Posh English man Michael Gambon, all doing an array of terrible and inconsistent Irish accents - thank goodness Rhys Ifans (gorgeous!) stuck to what he knows and played a Welsh character!- Was this review helpful to you?

Dodgy Accents!
By WomanOnTheVerge (16 reviews) from London , 20 Aug 2010Always love to see Kathy Burke and Meryl Streep, but it was hard to get past the terrible accents all round! Nice in a kind of made-for-TV- harmless- enough way.- Was this review helpful to you?

Kenneth Burke's Constabulary Rhetoric: Sociorhetorical Critique in Attitudes Toward HistoryJordynn JackUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill January 1, 2008 Rhetoric Society Quarterly, Vol. 38, No. 1, pp. 66-81, January 2008 Abstract: Scholars have shown that Kenneth Burke's research on drug addiction at the Bureau of Social Hygiene shaped his rhetorical theory in Permanence and Change, but less attention has been paid to another facet of this research, criminology, and its influence on Attitudes Toward History. In Attitudes, Burke uses a criminological framework, called the''constabulary function,'' to characterize the rhetorical strategies political and economic elites use to bolster a deteriorating social order while deflecting attention away from broader, systemic problems. The constabulary function and its attendant terms - alienation, cultural lag, transcendence, symbols of authority, and secular prayer - provide a vocabulary for sociorhetorical critique. I examine how Burke's theory of the constabulary function grew out of his criminological research, consider how that theory informs Number of Pages in PDF File: 17 Keywords: Kenneth Burke, rhetoric, critique, theory, society working papers seriesDate posted: December 20, 2009Suggested CitationContact Information

Kavoo Launches New Charter Service
I think it takes a lot of courage to start a small air charter business at a time when taking a private charter has become a shorthand symbol of corporate greed and worse. But the allure of a private charter, of being able to skip the slog of commercial flying, continues to attract many. Kavoo, a new company out of Danbury, Connecticut, hopes to attract flyers in need of a little relief.
Kavoo's fleet includes an 8-passenger King Air 200 and Cirrus SR-22 single-engine planes. The company is owned by Curtis Brunjes and Richard Humphrey, who are also owners of Curtiss Aero, a two-year-old aviation maintenance shop and flight school located next to Kavoo at the Danbury Airport. When air travelers require larger aircraft including jets to get them to farther destinations faster, Kavoo plans to be its customers' single point of contact for all of their air charter needs through its extensive preferred provider network.
I recently chatted with Garrison Leykam, the Director, New Business Development for Kavoo.Leykam, whose career includes a long history in both travel and the music industries wants to take the independent spirit of smaller record labels and apply it to flying offering passengers the benefits of personalized service. I had a few questions for Leykam on the future of the charter industry, flying in general and why flying private can, in some cases, make financial sense.
First of all, why the name Kavoo?
Kavoo is a takeoff on the aviation term "cavu" meaning "ceiling and visibility unlimited;" the ideal flying conditions in which there are neither large clouds nor haze. Using the new spelling of Kavoo not only gives us a unique branding identity but it also extends the meaning to reinforce our vision of Kavoo as the new generation of air charter.
It's pretty daring to start an airline charter business at time when many others have flamed out, what do you think will help Kavoo succeed where others have failed?
Thousands of air taxi services are operating with a single airplane in a confined geographic area whereas Kavoo is pursuing national branding of its services. Our founders, Curtis Brunjes and Richard Humphrey, have enabled Kavoo to operate debt free without a capital investment in a huge fleet of aircraft. Our ability to create a national footprint is built upon utilizing planes owned by others on a revenue share platform. It's a win-win all around. More buyers can purchase planes with Kavoo helping them to offset their operating costs and Kavoo grows its fleet. The ultimate winner is the Kavoo customer whose choices of when and where to fly with us grow exponentially.
What do you see as the future of private jet travel, do you think it will return to the rate it was at prior to the recession?
I believe that the future of private jets will continue to be a very important mode of transportation for a specific market segment. There has been a recent decline in jet travel due to a combination of economic pressure and public scrutiny. But, I truly believe that this segment will bounce back. Most importantly, private jet travel needs to be deployed in an economic way, namely, toward smaller size aircraft. Right now, a properly-sized VLJ doesn't exist in the marketplace but it's coming. As this occurs, we'll see an increase in the number of operations as opposed to the number of seats and truly small jets will do well.
The Fly Kavoo website says "it's about time" what does that slogan mean to the company and to passengers?
For customers, our service is about placing a premium on customers' time and giving them the freedom and control to choose when they want to fly. On the business side, the time has come for Kavoo to demonstrate to the industry that, given the right business model and delivering extraordinary customer service on top of an unblemished safety record, the vision of a new generation of successful air taxi service is already evolving.
When will Fly Kavoo be open for online reservations?
We have targeted October 5th to be "live" with our new proprietary reservations software but travelers can reach me directly 24 x 7 at 888-435-9528.
Kavoo currently has six Cirrus SR-22s and a King Air 200 with Kavoo headquarters in Danbury, Connecticut, any plans to expand?
We are always looking to talk with Cirrus owners about adding their SR22's to our fleet on a leaseback basis. We expect to add two Cirrus Vision 7-seat personal jets and will continue to expand our number of aircraft to meet customer and geographic needs.
At a time when frugality has become almost fashionable how do you pitch air chartering as a smart choice? Do you find people want to be more discreet about their charter flying for fears of appearing too flashy or not sensitive to environmental concerns?
The issue I've always had with the concept of "frugality" is that it doesn't include the value of time in the cost equation. Let me give you an example: I was recently asked by a company to provide an air charter quote for flying four executives from Worcester, MA to Leesburg, VA for a 6-hour meeting. When I provided them the price of $5,568.87 round trip the initial response was, "I can get a flight for $479.20 on US Air." Unfortunately, many decisions to fly commercial airlines versus charter are made that way, without looking at the true costs of flying commercial compared to the bottom-line advantages of air charter. So, in order to see how this scenario actually played out I called US Air assuming the role of the corporate traveler. I told the agent that I and three colleagues needed to attend a 10am meeting on September 29th in Leesburg, VA and wanted to fly out of Worcester, MA. The agent told me that she could not fly out of Worcester but could get me a flight on United Express-Chautauqua out of Boston at 12 noon that would arrive at Dulles at 1:52pm. Given that the business meeting started at 10am, this meant that we would have to fly down the day before and stay overnight. Since this would be a round trip, I inquired as to my return flight options. I had two, both on United: Scenario 1: leaving Dulles at 5:05pm the day of the meeting for $717.00 R/T but I'd have to leave the meeting early to drive to the airport, get through security and make it to the gate, or Scenario 2: leave at 10:05pm the evening of the meeting for $479.20 R/T. Every executive knows that the revenue implications of his or her decisions on the company's bottom-line are far in excess of his compensation. Executives are not expected to cover the cost of their own compensation but rather to raise the ROI of the business. Therefore, I am being extremely conservative when I say that four executives whose base salary averages $150,000 per year have a base break-even hourly productivity value of $72.12. For four executives that's $288.18 per hour. So, here's how the scenarios played out:
Scenario #1: 4 business travelers flying commercial
$2,868.00 R/T fares
$1,200.00 overnight accommodations
$6,339.96 22 lost productivity hours pre-meeting
$288.48 1 hour lost leaving meeting early
$576.96 lost productivity time for R/T drive from airport to meeting (36.40 miles 1-way)
$11,273.40 Total cost of flying commercial
Scenario #2: 4 business travelers flying commercial
$1,916.80 R/T fares
$1,200.00 overnight accommodations
$6,339.96 22 lost productivity hours pre-meeting
$1,730.88 6 lost productivity hours post-meeting
$576.96 lost productivity time for R/T drive time from airport to meeting (36.40 miles 1-way)
$11,764.60 Total cost of flying commercial
Now, if you revisit the air charter quote of $5,568.87:
1. Flying privately extends the number of airports you can fly into and out of from hundreds to thousands. The four executives can now fly out of Worcester Regional Airport which is close to their office rather than driving to Boston Logan International Airport. The lengthy and unnecessary delays in security and at the gates so characteristic of the major airports are avoided. The four executives can park close to their aircraft, walk up to it with the pilot, stow their gear and take off.
2. The four executives can decide when they want to leave. With private air, they can decide to depart Worcester at 7:00am and arrive at Leesburg Executive Airport at 8:52am. Since the airport is only 4-miles from their meeting, they have more than enough time to get to their meeting, greet the other participants and get started without the stress of having flown commercially. Since the meeting is over at 4pm, they can depart Leesburg at 5pm and be back in Worcester by 6:26 in time for dinner with the family. If the meeting runs longer, they can simply call the pilot on his cell phone and adjust the departure time accordingly. No more rushing and being subject to commercial airline schedules. These executives can even decide to add a leg to their trip or change their flight plan midflight. Freedom and choice are now in control of the travelers and not controlled by the major airlines.
3. Given the total costs outlined above of flying with a major airline, the benefits of flying private are significant:
Commercial #1 $11,273.40
Commercial #2 $11,764.60
Commercial #1 $2,818.35
Commercial #2 $2,941.15
Private= $696.11
Commercial #1 $2,818.35
Commercial #2 $2,941.15
When you add "value" and "time" into the "cost" equation, it's clearly evident that flying privately is the best decision. Again, it's about choice and freedom. YOU decide the "when" and "where" for your trip, not the major airlines. As for your question about whether people want to be more discreet about their charter flying for fears of appearing too flashy, flying charter no longer comes with a luxury price tag. Pricing air charter is not a simple cost comparison as demonstrated above but rather is part of a larger ROI equation that factors the value of executives' productivity time into the matrix. When you take all of the preceding factors into consideration, flying charter becomes a better value decision than flying commercially, a decision that any shareholder would embrace.
To your question about being sensitive to environmental concerns, emissions from road vehicles are the largest contributors to smog. When you see how difficult it seems to be to get people to car pool, Kavoo air charter is finding passengers more than willing to travel together in our Cirrus SR22 3-passenger aircraft for business and personal destinations that that they would otherwise drive to in cars. The SR22 is comparable to an SUV but at triple the speed...not too un-green, I'd say.
What's your opinion on the continued escalation of fees for travelers on commercial flights? Do you think that continued dissatisfaction with commercial airlines is a major factor in people opting for charter flights?
The continuing escalation of commercial airline fees will have a breaking point as more and more value for the dollar is taken away. Unlike flying commercially with its force-fit schedules, limited destinations, evaporating amenities, lengthy ticket counter delays and lost baggage, Kavoo is all about creating value by giving passengers affordable air travel choice and flexibility. The Kavoo business model is thoroughly "indie" and consumer value-driven. The business and personal air traveler has complete "independence" from commercial carriers to set their own schedule, change destination en route, eliminate ticket counters, select an airport from a wider number of choices, have their baggage handled personally, bypass security line delays and relax in privacy, comfort and a pristine record of safety.
One thing I found interesting on your website was the promise that travelers will receive "a firm handshake introduction" from the pilot, do you think that personal connection may be more important on smaller planes?
I am reminded of the Mike Lukovich cartoon showing two cowboys herding cattle and one of the steers says, "I'm tired of them treating us like airline passengers." Kavoo is all about treating our travelers with "superstonishing" customer service. And, for us, it's not a paper mission statement hanging on a wall. We go out of our way each and every day to make all of our travelers' experiences the best they can be. We are very public about "personalizing" our service, from the pilot's handshake to helping with the baggage to calling from the air to confirm ground transportation. Customers entrust us with their most valuable commodity: time. And we take every opportunity to make sure that their time with us is the best it can be.

Bringing an airport runway and taxiway up to modern standards
Rainy weather and a short paving window challenge ICON Materials during a pavement resurfacing project at Bellingham International Airport, and an electronic screed control computer helps it finish the job
Related Content
Related Terms
ICON Materials had its work cut out for it. The decades old runway surface at Bellingham International Airport (BLI), which is located three miles northwest of Bellingham, in Whatcom County, WA, was deteriorating due to poor subgrade soils, undrained and saturated subgrade, inconsistent original construction standards and a surface at least 20 years old.
Deterioration was accelerating due to increased MD 80 and Boeing 737 traffic introduced by regional carriers over the last five years. The existing runway also did not meet current FAA pavement profile standards. In addition, the main parallel taxiway, Alpha, was also being stressed by the new, heavier traffic and was only 60 feet wide.
The objective of the project was to bring the Runway 16-34 and Taxiway Alpha up to modern geometric and structural standards while widening the taxiway to 75 feet for its entire length of 6,700 feet.
Time crunch
ICON Materials worked at night while keeping the runway open, then it had a three-week window when the entire runway was closed for paving. In total, 107,000 tons of FAA P-403 bituminous base course using 30% reclaimed asphalt paving (RAP)and PG 64-22 asphalt binder and 66,000 tons of FAA P-401 bituminous surface course with PG 70-22 polymer modified asphalt binder were laid using Caterpillar 1055 pavers.
Other equipment used on the project included Hamm, Sakai and Ingersoll Rand double-drum vibratory rollers for the intermediate course and Hyster Hypac C560B pneumatic rollers for final compaction. A Roadtec 2500 Shuttle Buggy was also used.
The mill-and-fill and leveling lift paving for the runway was restricted to a five-hour work window (midnight to 5 a.m.) in July and a seven-hour window (10 p.m. to 5 am.) in August.
"ICON Materials aggressively used these allowed closure periods to pave as much as possible on the runway to 'push' paving tonnage out of the critical September timeframe," says Gary Babick, project superintendent. "Within these short time frames, the pavement needed to be milled, swept, tacked, paved, compacted and re-striped by 5 a.m., fully functional and available for a 5:20 a.m. scheduled flight every morning."
ICON Materials challenged its crews and critical subcontractors to become super efficient with time and coordination, says Babick.
"Paving started within minutes of the milling machine removing the existing pavement and milling/ paving were performed simultaneously to precise limits to allow for compaction and clean-up," says Babick. "George Reynolds, general paving foreman, and I developed a precise plan for each night and executed the plan under every circumstance, including late arriving planes, rain, equipment malfunctions etc. The morning commercial flight was never delayed during this two-month time frame."
Rainy weather
The final 70,000 tons was placed in a 255-hour window between September 1-22.
"Peak paving rates were 435 tons per hour mainly due to the fact that the P-401 surface course paving was difficult to compact and could only be placed during daylight due to temperature concerns related to compaction," says Babick.
The thicknesses of the asphalt varied from 5.5 inches thick on some pavement reconstruction sections to 4 inches on the major "mill and fill" surface replacement of the existing runway pavement to 2.5 inches in the top four lifts on the taxiways and runway. Most of the tonnage was placed at 2.5 inches compacted.
The major paving was performed using two pavers with material transfer devices working in echelon at 18.75 feet wide for each paver, resulting in 36-foot-wide paving passes after the joints were cut back, according to FAA specification, says Babick.
The main challenge was weather during the 255-hour closure, says Babick.
"The runway opening date for September 22 could not be delayed as the airlines relied on this date for operational and ticket sales purposes," he explains. "The first three weeks in September set records for rainfall for that period. ICON Materials was literally paving between rainstorms. Had it not been for the early decision to perform mill-and-fill paving during nights in July and August, the project could not have been completed on time."

2012 FSA county committee elections deadline to return the ballots to local FSA offices is Dec. 3, 2012.
Farm Service Agency (FSA) Botetourt/Craig/Roanoke County Executive Director Jean Hazlegrove reminds producers that the 2012 FSA county committee elections deadline to return the ballots to local FSA offices is Dec. 3, 2012.
"The role and input of our county committee members is more vital than ever," said Hazlegrove. "New county committee members provide input and make important decisions on the local administration of disaster and conservation programs. With better participation in recent years, we also have seen promising increases in the number of women and minority candidates."
Eligible voters who did not receive a ballot can obtain ballots from their local USDA Service Center. Dec. 3, 2012, is the last day for voters to submit ballots in person to local USDA Service Centers. Ballots returned by mail must also be postmarked no later than Dec. 3. Newly elected committee members and their alternates will take office Jan. 1, 2013.
To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program. A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm also may be eligible to vote. Agricultural producers in each county submitted candidate nominations during the nomination period, which ended Aug. 1.
While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm operating loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are about 7,700 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to 11 members that are elected by eligible producers.
More information on county committees, such as the new 2012 fact sheet and brochures, can be found on the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections or at a local USDA Service Center.

January 10, 2012 - Saskatoon, Canada: Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. ("GWMG" or the "Company", TSX:V — GWG) is pleased to announce that the joint venture agreement ("Agreement") with Ganzhou Qiandong Rare Earth Group Ltd. ("GQD") of China for the construction of a rare earth separation plant in South Africa has been completed and signed.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the newly created joint venture company, Great Western GQD Rare Earth Materials Proprietary Limited ("GWGQD") will immediately finalize the preliminary work already underway on the process design and environmental components of the separation plant and move toward construction of the facility.
A wholly owned subsidiary of GWMG will own mixed rare earth chlorides, which GWGQD will process under a tolling agreement. The Agreement provides that GWGQD will separate mixed rare earths into products usable by GWMG's wholly owned subsidiary, Less Common Metals Limited ("LCM"), and third party customers.
Under the terms of the Agreement, GQD receives 25% of the shares of GWGQD for its contribution to design and construction of the facility, and $7.5 Million of GWMG shares to be paid over three years contingent on the facility being fully commissioned and operating effectively, and fees and/or dividends for providing long term management support for the operation of the separation facility.
The separation plant will be constructed in close proximity to GWMG's Steenkampskraal operation where the previously operating mine is being refurbished and readied in anticipation of rare earth mining.
GQD is a highly respected processor of Rare Earth oxides and metals with over twenty years of operational experience in China during which time it has been a significant supplier of metals and oxides to LCM.
GWMG President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Engdahl said, "This agreement represents one of the single most significant milestones in the history of GWMG. We are exceptionally pleased to have concluded such an important agreement between our Company and GQD for the construction and operation of a rare earth separation plant. Our agreement with GQD, with its two decades of rare earth processing experience, means that we have successfully engaged a rare earth industry leader as a joint venture partner to execute the separation component of our Company's plan to be the most fully integrated rare earth processing company outside of China."
Mr. Bin Gong, Chief Executive Officer of GQD said, "The signing of this joint venture agreement between GQD and GWMG represents a landmark development in the rare earth industry. This agreement sets the foundation for our two companies to proceed to full development of a separation facility within our joint venture. While it may have taken us longer than expected to get to this point, the complexities of such a groundbreaking agreement should not be underestimated. However, we are now in a position to allow the joint venture to proceed with all haste. Everybody at GQD looks forward to a long and rewarding relationship with GWMG."
Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. is an integrated Rare Earths processor. Its specialty alloys are used in the battery, magnet and aerospace industries. Produced at the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries Less Common Metals Limited in Birkenhead, U.K. and Great Western Technologies Inc. in Troy, Michigan, these alloys contain aluminium, nickel, cobalt and Rare Earth Elements. As part of the Company's vertical integration strategy, GWMG also holds 100% equity ownership in Rare Earth Extraction Co. Limited, which owns a 74% equity interest in the Steenkampskraal Mine. In addition to an exploration program at Steenkampskraal, GWMG also holds interests in four active Rare Earth exploration and development properties in North America.
For further information, please contact Dwight Percy, Manager of Investor Relations at (306) 659-4516. Email inquiries should be made to email@example.com and the company website is located at www.gwmg.ca.

Jokes aside, I'm interested in the intersection of advertising and politics, if only because I've had the following scrap of conversation too many times in the last few months:
So anyway I was surprised to have two different pieces of media back up my half-cocked theory about all good advertising being fear-based in the same week. Unfortunately I don't have clips, but Exhibit A is Roger Dodger, about a womanizing ad exec in New York. (It's not particularly recommended.) Exhibit B is the premier episode of TNT's Trust Me, about a contemporary advertising firm in Chicago. (It's, eh, okay so far. For a much more entertaining and poignant take on Chicago advertising, read And Then We Came to the End by Roger Ferris.)
Liberal Friend: Blah blah George Bush blah "Politics of Fear" blah blah so terrible.
Me: All political agendas are based on fear to a certain extent.
Friend: Nope. George Bush is unique in preying on the fear of the weak-minded electorate.
Me: False. Social security is popular because people are or are made to fear not having enough retirement savings. Protectionism is popular because people are or are made to fear losing their jobs to foreigners. Ditto immigration restrictions. Gun control and gun rights are both sold on the basis of people being made to fear their personal safety, depending on whether you fear too many guns or too few. Energy independence rests on the fear that foreigners will turn off the taps one day. Don't even get me started on the Drug War. We're made to fear our kids being uneducated, our lungs being filled with second hand smoke, our ice caps melting, our planes being blown up by shampoo and shoes, our factories being closed, our toys being made of toxic paint, our food containing trans-fats.
Friend: Yeah sure but Bush is the worst offender of making people fearful.
Me: False. He relies on a standard trick that not only underlies most of politics, but forms the basis of most non-infomercial advertising. Fear your kids won't love you, fear you aren't attractive enough, fear you aren't getting laid enough, fear you'll get sick, fear you'll get laughed at, fear your family isn't safe, fear you're missing out on a better deal.
Oh, yeah, politics. Here are some takes on fear and politics in the stimulus game:
Will Wilkinson:
The intermediate-level textbook theory says that at times like these we need a certain kind of policy to steady the economy's nerves and lubricate consumption and investment. The economics says we need confidence. But political reality says we need panic. So we try to induce panic so that we can later induce confidence. This seems an extremely awkward and implausible approach, but that doesn't keep anyone from trying it.Michael Moynihan:
President Obama excoriated those politicians employing the "politics of fear" during the 2008 campaign and, from the inaugural platform, asked Americans to choose "hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord" when confronting the current financial crisis. But now that Republican lawmakers have objected to the stimulus package and recommended deeper tax cuts, Obama is telling that such intransigence will lead to economic "catastrophe." The AP, via Huffington Post:"Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the essential," Obama said as Senate Republicans stepped up their criticism of the bill's spending and pressed for additional tax cuts and relief for homeowners. He warned that failure to act quickly "will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession."
Warren Meyer:
At what point do politicians bear some public accountability for their public statements and the effect those statements have on the economy? I almost want to ask Obama and Pelosi — what is the minimum size of pork-spending bill you will accept so we can just go ahead and pay the money and get you and your cohorts to shut the f*ck up on trying to convince everyone we are in the Great Depression. Because, to some extent, such statements can be a self-fulfilling prophesy. Seriously, the biggest stimulative effect of passing this stimulus bill will be, almost without doubt, that it will end the felt need for Washington weenies to create an atmosphere of panic.Jacob Sullum:
[...] I strongly believe that public pronouncements of doom, starting last October with Henry Paulson and continuing now to almost daily excess by Obama (today's statement: the economy is in a "virtual free fall") have measurably contributed to job losses in this country. Many people who are on the street without a job today can probably trace their unemployment to "just in case" cuts made more in response to government assurances of doom as on actual declines in output. [...]
As you can see, we have had far more job losses relative to output losses than any major post-war recession. This does not mean that more output losses are not coming, but it means that, perhaps unique to this recession, job losses are preceding rather than following output losses — in other words, job losses are occurring more than in any other recession based on the expectation of output losses, rather than in reaction to them. I wonder who it is that is setting these expectations?
Wow, using panic to achieve political aims and in the process accelerating job losses. And they say we libertarians are heartless!
President Obama's pro-stimulus op-ed piece, which Matt Welch skewered earlier today, displays the panicky, scare-mongering rhetoric we have come to expect from a politician who entered office less than a month ago with a reputation as a calm, cool, and rational weigher of facts:NB The above Wilkinson post also had this splendid line about Paul Krugman: "Krugman's often unbearable stridency seems to reflect an attempt to overcome the problems of democratic disagreement and incentive compatibility through sheer force of will–as if the deep reality of politics is no match for the rhetorical gifts and gold-plated reputation of Paul Freaking Krugman."What Americans expect from Washington is action that matches the urgency they feel in their daily lives—action that's swift, bold and wise enough for us to climb out of this crisis.
Because each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes. And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse....
Every day, our economy gets sicker—and the time for a remedy that puts Americans back to work, jump-starts our economy and invests in lasting growth is now....
These are the actions Americans expect us to take without delay.
Unless he has unpublicized psychic abilities, Obama doesn't really know what "Americans expect." He is telling us what we should expect, based on his own highly uncertain economic predictions. "This recession might linger for years," or it might not. "Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs," or possibly a different number. Obama hedges his bets by saying "unemployment will approach"—but not necessarily reach—"double digits." That much will be true if unemployment rises at all. As for sinking deeper into a possibly irreversible crisis, I'm not even sure what that means. The economy will never recover? We'll experience our first 100-year recession?

FOAM 101 - Everyone needs to be a foam expert
FOAM - The topic on everyone's mind… Let us share with you some of our wisdom.
There are different grades of regular foam available to the upholsterer or furniture manufacturer.
Foam is rated in three ways: density (quality), indentation load deflection (firmness), and resiliency (lifespan).
The density rating is the best indicator of the quality of the foam. Higher densities indicate higher quality foams that will maintain their shape and support for longer periods of time. However, for the sake of foam furniture like a SLACKER sack bean bag, maximum density isn't a good thing because it would result in a very flat, hard lounging experience. Density is expressed as a two-digit number that may range from 18 to 32 (with a decimal between the two numbers, so a density rating of 18 is actually1.8 foam).
Indentation load deflection measures firmness. An ILD of around 6 is the firmness of a bed pillow (not firm), while an ILD of 45 is the firmness of a firm mattress (quite firm).
Resiliency refers to lifespan of the product. High Resiliency foam material is produced to offer a long and useful life. It is also often rated as fire resistant (FR).
As a third generation furniture maker, we have been making these foam filled bean bag sacks long before any other brand that you have encountered. Because we actually make them from start to finish (Made in the U.S.A), we are able to sell them to you at a very fair wholesale price.
When you sit down in a SLACKER sack bean bag, you will realize how superior our product really is. Gone is the clumpy feeling that you get from sitting on other sacks. We have the softest sacks on the market that will provide you with years of lounging comfort.
The Dawn of a new day!
It is truly the dawning of a new day! It's 1:30am as I watch the Slacker Sack Beanbag Blog go up.
I sit marveling over the developments made over the past few weeks as Slacker Sack pushes into the main stream. Ben Noble, the CEO of the Slacker Sack business has had a stellar product in his hand and the timing is right to let everyone in on the secret.
Slacker Sack Beanbags may not change your life or serve as the cure to the common cold, but it is truly ones calling to find the slacker within and Slacker Sack is the answere.
Seriously, being a part of the process that is now allowing more and more people become at least somewhat educated about alternative furniture is exciting work. Watching how quickly Slacker Sack Beanbags is spreading in popularity is not only exelerating, but a testiment to high quality/low cost product that has been missing from the beanbag industry.
So stick around and enjoy the ride with us. It's time to start slack'n off!

During a time when an abundance of information wasn't available, it's incredible to think where authors of science fiction got their ideas from. At the same time, however, this lack of mass information is also the key to creating a great premise. Writers, back then, were forced to dig deep for ideas; looking at the state of society around them, studying the works of other revered thinkers and writers in libraries, or conducting thorough research in some other kind of fashion. Whatever their approach, the following authors have been responsible for some of the finest works of science fiction literature that still stand the test of time today.
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, James Hogg (1824)
This book tells the tale of two estranged brothers, and has been described as 'the most convincing representation of the power of evil in our literature'. The narrative comes both an unknown editor, who tells the story in parallel to the diary of one of the brothers, who is also the 'sinner' of the book. It is a fascinating mix of psychological crime fiction and gothic fantasy, which is a challenging but rewarding read.
Melmoth the Wanderer, Charles Maturin (1820)
This supernatural horror acts as an attack on Roman Catholicism through the author's social commentary on the 19th Century. It is a story of temptation and sin, full of stories within stories and lots of twists and turns. This was the last complete work by Charles Maturin and is considered to be a true Gothic novel.
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Robert Louise Stevenson (1886)
A more familiar title, but no less interesting and enticing. This novel of course, explores the disorder of split personality, through the opposing characters within one man: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The novel discusses themes of morality, and analyses the good and evil that exists in us all. This novel was an instant success and has gone on to be made into over 120 film adaptations since it was published in 1886.
News From Nowhere, William Morris (1890)
This book explores the concept of a socialism utopia, as the central character falls asleep to find himself in a world of democratic ownership and control. In this new world, the author is free to describe what he believes would be a 'better world' – one with no big cities or monetary system, and one instead where people work simply because they enjoy to. Morris not only examines work and money, but life, love and gender. He also tackles some of the most common criticisms of socialism with his own thoughts and beliefs.
The Man in the Moon, Francis Godwin (1638)
This novel tells the tale of Domingo Gonsales, who flies to the moon using geese power, and explores the advanced utopian community that he finds there. 'The Man of the Moon' has gone on to inspire numerous writers and still lives on today as an impressive piece of work. The novel was originally published under the pseudonym Domingo Gonsales.
The Turn of the Screw, Henry James (1898)
This novel is told in retrospect, from the point of view of the Governess, who tells the story from first person. This story is her struggle to protect her pupils from what she considers to be supernatural forces. Exploring themes of corruption of the innocent, destruction of heroism and the idea that our own vision has the ability to mislead us, 'The Turn of the Screw' is a complex, layered novel that is much more than a simple ghost story.
The Last Man, Mary Shelley (1826)
'The Last Man' explores a post-plague world in which Shelly explores gender and power relations, as well as race in one striking scene of the novel. Many of the characters are auto-biographic, based on Shelly's close family and some acquaintances, and she makes numerous references to other literacy scholars through the central character Lionel. This novel was relatively unknown and certainly unpraised until more recent years, as it was not until the 1960s that it began to gain critical attention.

Inland Empire Baseball
There is nothing fishy about having fun! Going out on the town or going out to a ball game you can look your best in SeneGence LipSense long-lasting lipstick. At the ballpark the wind and sand will take their toll. Day games are hot and sunburn is always a threat. Don't forget the sun block. Here the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes - Yes Jack Benny fans there really is a Rancho Cucamonga minor league baseball team. - have a rest between inning of a game with the San Bernardino Inland Empire 66ers. The Quakes are a triple A team for the Los Angeles Anaheim Angeles. The Inland Empire 66ers are a farm club for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Note the big mouth of the fish. Not only the wind and sun are dangerous to your skin. Number 40 there was almost eaten alive seconds after this picture was taken. Fortunately, like Jonah he was able to escape from the fish after being swallowed.
66er's July Schedule. Home games are in brown. We took in a game at the end of April. Great price for great seats. |

"How excited are you for 2013?" ABC 4 Reporter Brian Carlson asked.
"I'm so excited!" said Jamie Miyorga, celebrating the new year.
"I'm really excited!" said Jared Buhler, celebrating the new year.
"It's a new year, new beginning," said Heather Thiele, celebrating the new year.
With so much to see and do at Salt Lake's "3VE" party downtown it's easy to see why people are fired up. This year's theme is light, art and sound. Organizers said there's something for everyone.
"We have almost 10 venues that accept an "3VE" pass... the Leonardo, the Clark Planetarium, there's also the Discovery Gateway, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Broadway Center Cinemas, etc," said Nick Como, Downtown Alliance Communications Director.
Monday afternoon hundreds of parents took their children to Family Festival at the Gateway Mall.
"Are you having fun?" Carlson asked one child.
"Oh ya!" said Jaydin Davis.
"Are you going to stay up late tonight?" Carlson asked another child.
"Yes," she nodded.
"What are you going to do when the new year comes?" Carlson asked a third child.
"I dunno," said Sebastian Feldman.
Some already have the moment planned, and are making some big New Year's resolutions.
"Do you have any big goals for 2013?" Carlson asked.
"Ummm," said Miyorga.
"Go to culinary school," said Austin Buhler, celebrating the new year.
"I'm going to start running some more," said Thiele.
"50 lbs," said Jared Buhler.
"You want to gain 50 lbs?" Carlson asked.
"No lose 50 lbs," Buhler said.
"Oh I'm glad you specified," Carlson said.
Meanwhile others aren't waiting to get the party started.
"Happy New Year!" shouted a crowd of people.

Time Out says
1952. Theologian and essayist, CS 'Jack' Lewis (Hopkins) conducts a life of faintly mildewed bachelorhood at Magdalen College, Oxford. If there's any hint of desperation in his quietude, it's not to be found in his philosophical discourse, but in his children's books about Narnia, the magical land that lies behind the wardrobe. These strange and wonderful tales bring American poet Joy Gresham (Winger) and her son Douglas (Mazzello) into Lewis's small circle, an unlikely meeting which is to affect them all. Biting down on his pipe, his shirt collar permanently askew, Hopkins assays another concerted study in English repression - a condition unexpectedly relieved by Winger's brash intelligence and brittle wit. Attenborough does a good job with the musty hallowed halls and condescending donnish banter without letting the mise-en-scène clog up the works. Taken from the play by William Nicholson, this is the director's least sanctimonious, least verbose picture. It's just a shame that, given the emphasis on the primacy of emotional experience, it feels like such a self-contained, studious exercise.Author: TCh

Probably his best work, watch it time and time again and learn more from this true story of life and absorb the meaning of this work. It's on a level with Heston's Ben Hur, just as powerful. Hopkins is perfectly type cast and gives a magnificent performance

Before the Art of Living course, I often got angry and aggressive with people; I was rough with the patients and after that I felt bad and wrong. The Sudarshan Kriya gave me peace and relaxation. Now I like very much my job and I can enjoy every moment I spent with my patients. It's so beautiful when they smile and when they feel protected, and when they tell me they look forward to seeing me. I am so grateful to this course for giving us these precious techniques which can balance mind, body and soul.
