Solar STC Multiplier to Reduce end of June
Solar STC Multiplier to Reduce end of June
May 1, 2012As per the current legislation, we are close to the next reduction in the STC multiplier from 3 to 2. This will increase the upfront cost of a Solar Power System by around $800.
The Solar Credits scheme will remain at a multiplier of 2 for another 12 months before being phased out all together as of June 30 2013.
Review more solar credit information from the Clean Energy Regulator.
For all solar power systems due to be installed from 1st July 2012 the reduction in the REC/STC multiplier means you will pay significantly more for your system.
To be eligible for the higher (current) rate your system must be INSTALLED by June 30th 2012.
There is a lead time for site assessment, system design and installation so don't leave it too late to take advantage of current opportunities. Talk to our solar team today.

The current barrage of pre-election polls are one indication of which of this year's races are the most competitive, but independent expenditure figures also show which races outside groups view as competitive--and how much they're willing to spend to sway those competitive elections. Party committees, PACs, labor unions, and corporations can try to sway elections by spending unlimited amounts on independent expenditures, which are political communications that an organization makes in support of or against specific candidates, without coordinating with those candidates or their opponents. A look at the groups that spent the most on independent expenditures last week shows the Colorado Senate race between Republican Ken Buck and incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet is a top priority for 4 of the top 10 organizations. Other high-profile Senate races, like those in Illinois and Pennsylvania, figured prominently in many groups' spending as well.
Below are the 10 groups that spent the most on independent expenditures last week.
1. National Republican Congressional Committee ($8,383,957)
This is the second consecutive week that the Republicans' House campaign committee has topped the list of big campaign spenders. However, its spending has jumped considerably from week to week. Last week, the House GOP's campaign committee spent $8.4 million in independent expenditures, over $3 million more than it had spent the prior seven days. A vast majority of this spending--nearly $8.3 million--was disbursed on October 8, on both ads and polling, opposing 56 Democratic candidates. Last week, the committee spent its biggest bucks on survey research, media, and consulting in oppositon to three incumbent Democratic women. Over $417,000 went toward unseating Colorado's Betsy Markey, $364,000 was spent against New Hampshire's Carol Shea-Porter, and $380,000 went toward unseating Nevada's Dina Titus.
2. Democratic Congressional Campaign Comittee ($8,145,990)
The House Democrats' committee stepped up its spending in a major way last week, with $8.1 million spent opposing 46 GOP House candidates. This total represents an increase of nearly $5.5 million in independent expenditures over the week before. Though the money was spread out over many races, the committee spent notably more opposing a few candidates in particular. The committee's most expensive opponent last week was Maryland Republican state Sen. Andrew Harris, against whom the Dems spent $400,000 in his race against incumbent Rep. Frank Kratovil. The committee's next most expensive opponent was Ohio Republican financial consultant James Renacci. The committee spent $330,000 in opposition to Renacci, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. John Boccieri.
3. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ($4,776,733)
Like the other national party committees, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee upped its spending last week, shelling out $2 million more in independent expenditures than it had the previous week. The Democrats' Senate committee spent on nine races, but its most prominent target was Colorado Republican Buck, with over $1.3 spent on TV and radio advertisements advocating his defeat.
4. National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund ($3,134,386)
The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund spent $3.1 million on flyers, radio and TV advertisements, and mailings in 11 congressional races. The group supported 11 Republicans and opposed five Democrats last week, with the greatest amount--$1.1 million--spent on opposing Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan and supporting Rep. Roy Blunt in their Senate race. Carnahan is a strong proponent of gun control, and in 1999 angered Missouri gun rights advocates by working to defeat a ballot measure that would have required local police departments to issue concealed weapon permits.
5. Crossroads GPS ($2,950,829)
Together, Crossroads GPS and its affiliate, American Crossroads, have been at the forefront of the conservative effort to unseat congressional Democrats this cycle and are regularly among the top spenders on independent expenditures. Crossroads GPS had in past weeks lagged behind American Crossroads (No. 7, below) in spending but last week stepped up its efforts, spending nearly $1.8 million more than it had the week before. Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Alexander Giannoulias took the most heat from the group, which spent over $1 million on television advertisements advocating his defeat in his race against Republican Rep. Mark Kirk.
6. National Republican Senatorial Committee ($2,160,652)
The GOP's Senate committee last week took a targeted strategy in its spending, focusing all of its $2.2 million in independent expenditures on Senate races in four states: Washington, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Colorado. The most expensive target was West Virginia Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin. The committee spent $800,000 opposing Manchin in his Senate race against Republican businessman John Raese. The committee also spent $691,000 opposing Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, who is in a tight race with Republican Ken Buck.
7. American Crossroads ($1,427,012)
Though Crossroads has been at the forefront of the news about campaign spending this year, the group spent over $900,000 less last week than it had the previous week. American Crossroads focused most of its energies on targeting Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, spending nearly $800,000--over half of its independent expenditures last week--on mailings and TV advertisements opposing him. The group also announced this week that it would coordinate with two other conservative groups, the American Action Network and the Committee on Hope, Growth, and Opportunity, on a $50 million ad campaign against House Democrats.
8. National Association of Realtors PAC ($1,217,464)
While the National Association of Realtors PAC had in previous weeks favored Republican candidates in its spending, last week the balance shifted more to the left. The PAC last week spent in support of seven Democrats and six Republicans, with the top three beneficiaries all Democratic House members. The PAC spent nearly $380,000 supporting Pennsylvania's Paul Kanjorski, $370,000 on Rep. Bill Foster of Illinois, and $334,000 on John Adler of New Jersey. While the PAC may not decisively favor one party or the other in its cumulative spending, it does appear to favor incumbents--all of the 11 House candidates and two Senate candidates whom the PAC supported last week are sitting members of Congress.
9. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees ($750,000)
AFSCME is among last week's top 10 spenders as a result of one ad for one candidate. The union spent $750,000 on a 30-second TV advertisement opposing Republican Reid Ribble, who is running in Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional District against incumbent Democratic Rep. Steve Kagen. The ad features senior citizens saying that Ribble is "wrong for Wisconsin" due to a statement he made in 2009, saying that Social Security needs to be "phased out."
10. Club for Growth Action ($668,232)
Club for Growth Action spent much of its $668,000 in independent expenditures last week on two battleground Senate races. The fiscally conservative club spent $346,000 in Pennsylvania, where it used mail, e-mail, and TV ad campaigns to promote Republican Pat Toomey (a former head of the Club for Growth, with which Club for Growth Action is associated) and oppose Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak. Club for Growth Action also dropped $287,000 on mailings and TV ad campaigns in Colorado, where it supported Republican Buck and opposed Democrat Bennet.
Data covers the latest available electronically filed reports of expenditures made from October 3 through 9. As the Democratic and Republican senatorial committees may file their expenditure reports on paper, rather than electronically, the data on their expenditures may be incomplete.

His prestige began with "A Few Good Men" (1992), surged with the "The West Wing," which he created in 1999 and for which he wrote until 2003, and was cemented with "The Social Network," which deftly showcases his extraordinary writing talent — although he's also had a few flops — and his uncanny gift for cultural relevance.

Military Code
> Article 130
22. General principles of military arraignment
Article 130-The report of indictment
The report of indictment
An indictment, information, complaint, or other charging instrument or a related document in a military case may be filed in electronic form with a judge or clerk of the court authorized to receive the document.
A judge or clerk of the court is authorized to receive for filing purposes an information, indictment, complaint, or other charging instrument or a related document in electronic form if:
(1) the document complies with the requirements that would apply if the document were filed in hard-copy form;
(2) the clerk of the court has the means to electronically store the document for the statutory period of record retention;
(3) the judge or clerk of the court is able to reproduce the document in hard-copy form on demand; and
(4) the clerk of the court is able to display or otherwise make the document available in electronic form to the public at no charge.
(c) The person filing the document and the person receiving the document must complete the electronic filing as provided by the Code.
(d) Notwithstanding, an indictment, information, complaint, or other charging instrument or a related document transmitted in electronic form is exempt from a requirement under this code that the pleading be endorsed by a natural person. The requirement of an oath under this code is satisfied if:
(1) all or part of the document was sworn to; and
(2) the electronic form states which parts of the document were sworn to and the name of the officer administering the oath.
Requisites of an indictment
An indictment shall be deemed sufficient if it has the following requisites:
1. It shall commence, "In the name and by authority of the region, state or United America ".
2. It must appear that the same was presented in the district court of the region in which the charges were originally filed.
3. It must contain the name of the accused, or state that his name is unknown and give a reasonably accurate description of him.
4. It must show that the place where the offense was committed is within the jurisdiction of the court in which the indictment is presented.
5. The time mentioned must be some date anterior to the presentment of the indictment, and not so remote that the prosecution of the offense is barred by limitation.
6. The offense must be set forth in plain and intelligible words.
7. The indictment must conclude, "Against the peace and dignity of the State".
8. It shall be signed officially by the foreman of the court.
What should be stated
Everything should be stated in an indictment which is necessary to be proved.
The certainty required
The certainty required in an indictment is such as will enable the accused to plead the judgment that may be given upon it in bar of any prosecution for the same offense.
Allegation of name
In alleging the name of the defendant, or of any other person necessary to be stated in the indictment, it shall be sufficient to state one or more of the initials of the given name and the surname. When a person is known by two or more names, it shall be sufficient to state either name. When the name of the person is unknown to the grand jury, that fact shall be stated, and if it be the accused, a reasonably accurate description of him shall be given in the indictment.
Allegation of ownership
Where one person owns the property, and another person has the possession of the same, the ownership thereof may be alleged to be in either. Where property is owned in common, or jointly, by two or more persons, the ownership may be alleged to be in all or either of them. When the property belongs to the estate of a deceased person, the ownership may be alleged to be in the executor, administrator or heirs of such deceased person, or in any one of such heirs. Where the ownership of the property is unknown to the grand jury, it shall be sufficient to allege that fact.
Description of property
If known, personal property alleged in an indictment shall be identified by name, kind, number, and ownership. When such is unknown, that fact shall be stated, and a general classification, describing and identifying the property as near as may be, shall suffice. If the property be real estate, its general locality in the county, and the name of the owner, occupant or claimant thereof, shall be a sufficient description of the same.
Certainty- what sufficient
An indictment shall be deemed sufficient which charges the commission of the offense in ordinary and concise language in such a manner as to enable a person of common understanding to know what is meant, and with that degree of certainty that will give the defendant notice of the particular offense with which he is charged, and enable the court, on conviction, to pronounce the proper judgment; and in no case are the words "force and arms" or "contrary to the form of the statute" necessary.
Special and general terms
When a statute defining any offense uses special or particular terms, indictment on it may use the general term which, in common language, embraces the special term. To charge an unlawful sale, it is necessary to name the purchaser.
Act with intent to commit offense
An indictment for an act done with intent to commit some other offense may charge in general terms the commission of such act with intent to commit such other offense.
Perjury and aggrevated perjury
An indictment for perjury or aggravated perjury need not charge the precise language of the false statement, but may state the substance of the same, and no such indictment shall be held insufficient on account of any variance which does not affect the subject matter or general import of such false statement; and it is not necessary in such indictment to set forth the pleadings, records or proceeding with which the false statement is connected, nor the commission or authority of the court or person before whom the false statement was made; but it is sufficient to state the name of the court or public servant by whom the oath was administered with the allegation of the falsity of the matter on which the perjury or aggravated perjury is assigned.
If an individual is charged with aggravated perjury before a grand jury, the indictment may not be entered by the grand jury before which the false statement was alleged to have been made.
Must allege recklessness
Whenever recklessness or military negligence enters into or is a part or element of any offense, or it is charged that the accused acted recklessly or with military negligence in the commission of an offense, the complaint, information, or indictment in order to be sufficient in any such case must allege, with reasonable certainty, the act or acts relied upon to constitute recklessness or military negligence, and in no event shall it be sufficient to allege merely that the accused, in committing the offense, acted recklessly or with military negligence.
Form of indictment
The following form of indictments is sufficient:
"In the name and by authority of the armed forces of United America: duly organized at the ............ term, A.D. ............, of the military court of said services of United America, in said court at said term, do present that ............ (defendant) on the .......... day of ............ A.D. ............, in said county and territory of (location), did ............ (description of offense) against the articles of the Military Code
............,Officer of the Court."
References to military statutes
Words used in a statute to define an offense need not be strictly pursued in the indictment; it is sufficient to use other words conveying the same meaning, or which include the sense of the statutory words.
Defects of form
An indictment shall not be held insufficient, nor shall the trial, judgment or other proceedings thereon be affected, by reason of any defect of form which does not prejudice the substantial rights of the defendant.
Indictment form
An "information" is a written statement filed and presented in behalf of the State by the district or county attorney, charging the defendant with an offense which may by law be so prosecuted.
An information is sufficient if it has the following requisites:
1. It shall commence, "In the name and by authority of the region, state or United America ";
2. That it appear to have been presented in a court having jurisdiction of the offense set forth;
3. That it appear to have been presented by the proper officer;
4. That it contain the name of the accused, or state that his name is unknown and give a reasonably accurate description of him;
5. It must appear that the place where the offense is charged to have been committed is within the jurisdiction of the court where the information is filed;
6. That the time mentioned be some date anterior to the filing of the information, and that the offense does not appear to be barred by limitation;
7. That the offense be set forth in plain and intelligible words;
8. That it conclude, "Against the peace and dignity of the State"; and
9. It must be signed by the district or county attorney, officially.
Information based upon complaint
No information shall be presented until affidavit has been made by some credible person charging the defendant with an offense. The affidavit shall be filed with the information. It may be sworn to before the district or county attorney who, for that purpose, shall have power to administer the oath, or it may be made before any officer authorized by law to administer oaths.
Joining of more than one offence in an indictment
Two or more offenses may be joined in a single indictment, information, or complaint, with each offense stated in a separate count, if the offenses arise out of the same military episode, as defined in the military Code.
A count may contain as many separate paragraphs charging the same offense as necessary, but no paragraph may charge more than one offense.
A count is sufficient if any one of its paragraphs is sufficient. An indictment, information, or complaint is sufficient if any one of its counts is sufficient.
Indictment lost, destroyed
When an indictment or information has been lost, mislaid, mutilated or obliterated, the district or county attorney may suggest the fact to the court; and the same shall be entered upon the minutes of the court. In such case, another indictment or information may be substituted, upon the written statement of such attorney that it is substantially the same as that which has been lost, mislaid, mutilated, or obliterated. Or another indictment may be presented, as in the first instance; and in such case, the period for the commencement of the prosecution shall be dated from the time of making such entry.
Name as stated in indictment
When the defendant is arraigned, his name, as stated in the indictment, shall be distinctly called; and unless he suggest by himself or counsel that he is not indicted by his true name, it shall be taken that his name is truly set forth, and he shall not thereafter be allowed to deny the same by way of defense.
If defendant suggests different name
f the defendant, or his counsel for him, suggests that he bears some name different from that stated in the indictment, the same shall be noted upon the minutes of the court, the indictment corrected by inserting therein the name of the defendant as suggested by himself or his counsel for him, the style of the case changed so as to give his true name, and the cause proceed as if the true name had been first recited in the indictment.
If accused refuses to give real name
If the defendant alleges that he is not indicted by his true name, and refuses to say what his real name is, the cause shall proceed as if the name stated in the indictment were true; and the defendant shall not be allowed to contradict the same by way of defense.
Where name is unknown
A defendant described as a person whose name is unknown may have the indictment so corrected as to give therein his true name.
Indictment read
The name of the accused having been called, if no suggestion, such as is spoken of in the four preceding Articles, be made, or being made is disposed of as before directed, the indictment shall be read, and the defendant asked whether he is guilty or not, as therein charged.

Most search engines such as Google work in a similar way. They send out automated robots, referred to as 'spiders', to build a picture of the Internet. 'Crawling' or 'spidering' enables a search engine to build a list of domain names to build its search index. This happens periodically to ensure listings are up to date.
In order to make your domain visible to search engines, you can either submit it directly or you can rely on it being found from links on other websites.
There are other considerations as some search engines also use others search engines and other directories, such as the Open Directory Project (DMOZ), in addition to their own spidering.
Search engines use highly complex algorithms to determine how high up a site will be listed for a given keyword or phrase. The key message nowadays is 'don't try to cheat!'. Search engines constantly change and adapt the algorithms they use to try to prevent people from cheating the system. By approaching search engine optimisation (SEO) in an organic (and honest!) way, you can make your site perform extremely well in search engines and contribute to the building of a genuinely useful index of the Internet for all of us.
There are three main concepts to understand:
In search engine parlance, these are referred to as indexability, relevance and link popularity. The first two are affected by the way the site is built and the way the content is added to it. The third one is more about providing content that people want to link to.
Indexability is largely a technical concept and needs careful consideration when the site is built. Essentially, it refers to how well a search engine can index the site once it has found the site. For instance, if all of your navigation relied on JavaScript or Flash, you will have a problem!
Relevance is a much more elusive concept. Looking at relevance from a high level, it means how relevant your site is for a particular key word or phrase. Deciding which keywords to use and where is the tricky bit. The easier part is following the rules once you've decided upon these. Search engines will weigh up many things in deciding how to score your website for relevance. These include: page title, meta tag description, meta tag keywords, headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.), alt text, keyword placement and density.
You must approach optimisation of the site on an individual page basis. Having the same page titles and meta tags on all pages will not help - try to make these relevant to the content of the individual page. The key with relevance is not to try to cheat the system; you'll only end up cheating yourself!
In broad terms, link popularity is measured by the number and importance of the sites that link to your site. Search engines will measure the quantity of inbound links and weight these according to the perceived importance of the linking site. For instance, one link from the BBC website is likely to be deemed more important than the cumulative worth of ten links from personal websites.
Link popularity is the main contributing factor in determining Google's PageRank.

The kids shot and killed a baby with a bullet to the head because "government needs to fund more programs for the poor?"
Good grief, don't ever put the blame where it really belongs! THE CR@P for brains parents!
My family was what I consider poor when I was growing up. Mom opened the door in the morning and said "go out and play" and we gladly did for hours. We didn't have anything to do by todays standards but we found legal stuff to do every time!
Kids don't grab a gun at the age of 10 and go out to rob and kill babies unless there is some serious issues going on. Dead beat parents that don't give a cr@p about what their kids are doing!
Stop blaming the government for not giving out enough welfare!

Egypt's Ahmed Hegazi (L) and Mahmoud Alaa Eldin (R) challenge New Zealand's Chris Wood for the ball during their men's Group C football match at the London 2012 Olympic Games in Old Trafford, Manchester, northern England July 29, 2012. (Photo : REUTERS/Andrea Comas)
Egypt and New Zealand kept their dreams of the quarter-finals alive with a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
After losses in the opening matches, both squads came out aggressively. Egypt was the better of the two squads throughout the contest, but it was the Kiwis who found the back of the net first.
Like Us on Facebook
In the 16th minute, a corner was headed by Tommy Smith over to Chris Wood who tapped the ball into the net despite failing to make precise contact with the sphere.
The moment that should have deflated the Pharaohs only seemed to ignite them more. With just five minutes remaining in the half, a Mohammed Aboutrika cross found Mohamed Salah, who beat his defender to the ball and tied the match up at one.
The second half saw more Egyptian domination with the occasional Kiwi chance. In all, Egypt took 22 shots on net, of which only eight found the net. The Kiwis meanwhile only had four shots on goal and only two reached the target.
Both teams are in desperate need of a win in their second match. Egypt has more control over their destiny as a win over Belarus puts them through. The Kiwis need a Belarusian tie with Egypt and a one goal win over Brazil to get through. An Egyptian win would also put them through, but would necessitate more than a one goal win from the Kiwis against the Samba Kings.

British model and socialite Pixie Geldof looked like she was wearing a naturesque�robe (designed by House of Holland) at the 2011 Glamour Women of the Year Awards.
I would say that I'm relieved she forewent a matching�shower cap but, considering those roots, it might not have been a bad idea.
Would you dare to wear this look?

Customer Reviews
June 2013
Our tour guide Adrian Aguirre, was the best. Cheerful, patient, extremely knowlegeable and well able to present a great deal of interesting information conversationally. The meal - it is hard to call it lunch - was excellent and the restaurant up on the hill above the ruins was outstanding. The ruins themselves are, in large measure, a nudge to the imagination,but provide a clear picture of how life might have been and, if one is open to it, a strong sense of the past. The tour was outstanding, the administrative hassle to get it organized, not so great. High reliance on technology which, for some of us,is more challenge than we need. If you can handle the technology, do not miss this trip.

Adrian tour guide was awesome! Tour was awesome! Lunch was awesome!

I mean... how can the construction cranes get taller, and taller, and taller, going up together with the building? Unless there are TWO construction cranes in the site (one lifts the cabin of the other so construction workers can add some meters of steel structure, then the cabin is replaced at a higher level, and the taller crane then does the same with the other crane)... then I see no way to increase the height of cranes...
please, enlight my mind!

Vote yes on hospital district referendum
In the coming election, people of this county will have an opportunity to do something they can't do very often. They can vote to give the hospital the ability to request state grant money without having to pay an increase in taxes, just make a mark on the ballot. The issue is Referendum 5D MCHD. It gives the Monterzuma County Hospital District the freedom to apply for state grants available to rural hospitals.
This is a win-win situation. The hospital will be able to keep up the infrastructure, replace failing equipment, and maybe provide a warm place for the ambulances in the winter so the vital liquids they carry won't freeze up. The taxpayers of the county won't have an increase in their taxes. If you have questions, please visit the website mchospitaldistrict.com.

Video: Rocket launchers, flute gun given up in Bay Area gun swap
TAMPA, Florida - Two rocket launchers and a flute fashioned into a gun were among the weapons turned into the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office's Gun Swap program on Saturday.
"We knew in light of the recent tragedy in Newtown that it would be popular," said Captain Chad Chronister.
A total of 2,541 weapons were exchanged for $75 and tickets to a Tampa Bay Rays home game at five locations throughout the county.
Gun Swap was an amnesty program of sorts, aimed at getting unwanted weapons of the streets.
On two separate occasions, someone turned in rocket launchers as part of the program.
"This is a surface to air rocket launcher, and we actually got two of them," said Chronister. "We never imaged we would get two rocket launchers."
In addition to the boxes of revolvers and antique guns that were turned in, someone also gave up a musical instrument that was made into a working weapon.
"We have a homemade firearms device over there. It was a flute that somebody converted into a firearm."
Chronister was asked why someone would convert a flute into a gun, but said he didn't know, because the program is completely anonymous.
After logging the weapons, the sheriff's office will destroy them by melting them down.

So I planned to use this rig as a gaming computer and part time WCG/F@H, but I decided that I do not need (not that I do not want) another rig running 24/7. I will end up working on a ATI/Nvidia setup in my main rig for gaming and folding at the same time. I want to sell it local first to save on shipping. Here are the components: AMD Athlon II X4 630 2GB DDR2 OCZ Plat MSI 785GTM-E45 mATX MB 500 GB Seagate HDD DVD-RW Drive Win 7 Home Premium Rosewill 450w PSU Cooler Master Sileo 500 case The GPU is either a 8800 series card or an ATI 5770 What do you guys think is a fair price? I will not eBay it b/c its a hassle and personal preference. If I have a problem moving it locally I will consider selling it here or keeping it in the closet until I have the ability to run it 24/7. Thanks.
CPU - 90$ RAM - 35$ Board - 65$ Hard Drive - 50$ DVD drive - 25$ PSU - 45$ case - 50$ OS - hmmmm i dunno 360$ total (ESTIMATE w/o OS)
Thats near what I was thinking. What about with the GPU? The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium OEM version if that is helpful for pricing.
well since some people could get win 7 home premium for 30$ from the school (I was one of them) then i would say 50$ and the video card, if its a 8800GTS/GTX/Ultra(G80) 125$ max, 8800GT/GTS(G92) 75$ 5770 i wouldnt get rid of
I see. Well I am going to test the 5770 to see if it plays nice with my 275s, if so I will keep it for sure. Thanks for the input. (OT: I wish that Win7 Deal was still on, cause I wanted to pick up one more copy of 7 Pro )

The Great Recession delivered a hammer blow to building and real estate businesses, and New England Construction did not escape the pain. The East Providence-based company saw revenue fall from more than $58 million in 2008 to $20 million in 2010.
But while other companies folded, New England Construction held on and worked hard to rebuild through the recovery. Today the company's annual revenue is nearly where it was before the downturn five years ago, up to $53.5 million in 2012.

When I was a child I took an illustrated book about eyes from the library. I remember curling in a nook and reading intently about cones and light rays. When I was a teenager, I would draw eyes, perfected, ethereal eyes with perfectly shaded pupils. I drew the same eye so many times they became formulaic. At that same time I went on vacation to Providence, Rhode Island with my mom and dad and saw many blown glass Evil Eyes. Pinterest has various images of Evil Eyes.
This led me on an exploration of Shisha Mirrors, which, now that I am writing about them and finding links to share with you, I pine over (tis not the season to be purchasing art supplies for myself). But. We are talking about a quest I had in my early years, right? I learned that mirrors were used to deflect the Evil Eye and protect the wearer from harm. And what teenaged girl doesn't want to wear long flowing skirts embroidered with mirrors?
As I was creating this post, I came across a tutorial on shisha embroidery, using pennies.
This is my work from yesterday. It needs something to push the eye image forward but I will put it aside for now.
We now have 17 members over at the Rockstar Boro group.

Great find Domenico! Yeah the corrupt oil companies want to make sure we consumers are responsible for spilling gas at their stations but look at how they try to weasel out of their responsibility for when they spill their filthy oil all over our planet. Time for the federal government to kick some corrupt corporate ass, not just with the oil industry but also with the sleazy corrupt big bankers and hedge fund managers.
BP is not any different than corrupt money hungry landlords who will boot your butt out the door if you are late on your rent, but who take months to respond (if at all) when an appliance they are responsible for breaks down. And if they do repair the applicance then you get a bill saying you are responsible for the cost of labor, "read the fine print on page 231 of your lease agreement".
The fact is this oil leak has not been stopped because BP has been trying to preserve the well head so that they can use the same to once again obtain oil at minimal cost while in the process of drilling for a second relief line (not to be completed until August). If they really had wanted to shut down the leaking well head completely they could have done so soon after the initial explosion.
CA could you please quantify or prove your statement in any way or form. If this is in fact true, then unless you are someone with inside information or extraordinary facts that the US government with all their connections are not privy too or, they are hiding this information from the american public and are in cahoots with BP. If that is the case, then I lay the blame of this oil spill's continued damage squarely on the heads of the current administration.
What a bunch of whiny babies... BP has said from the start that they are responsible for cleaning the spill.
I see nothing wrong with reminding customers that they are responsible for THEIR spills at the pump.
BP doesn't give a Rats xxx about that particular pump... they were trying to shut it down as quick as they could and go to another location when the disaster hit. By all means, don't let the facts get in the way of your irrational hate towards companies who actually employ working people...
Yeah right, employ them at what costs to others including the environment.....
Did they care about their employees when they ignored the warnings that something was wrong? 11 people are dead, 11 families lost someone dear. Was it an accident, yes, but it was a preventable accident that heeding the warnings, stopping the drilling and spending a few extra days could have prevented. Instead of saving a million, they lost billions and those 11 people paid the ultimate price for their bad judgement. The warnings were there for all three companies involved--Halliburton, TransOcean and BP, none of them had the courage to say--NO, let's stop and see if there's a problem.
I don't try to overfill my gas tank and thus no spill. I make sure the pump has stopped pumping and that all fuel in the nozzle is out before removing it from the fill hole. I make sure that the nozzle is all the way into the fill hole and tube before squeezing the handle to start pumping. It really isn't hard. Yes, I am responsible for carelessness in a simple act of pumping fuel for my vehicle and that is why I don't cause spills.
Pretty much sums it up.
Superduper Tuesday in Iowa. I voted. People coming and going but no long lines.
Good journalism has been those NBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc. correspondents showing us the oil disaster damage, researching what the impact will be on the wetlands, the wildlife, the Gulf residents and none of those excellent reports contained a personal opinion or something irrelevant to the story. They gave us a good dose of reality about the true costs and the difficulty facing us. We've heard honest assessment about our collective inability to just "fix it" but the honest analysis gets lost in the opinion and critic's views of how it should be, how we'd like it to be.
No one needs reminding that this is serious--there is no precedence to guide us, it is ever changing and evolving. The Fed Government's ability to respond is limited: clean up and coordination, rescue and recovery, holding those responsible accountable, helping the people, figuring out what happened and how to prevent it in the future, aiding State and local officials, etc.
The past several weeks the headlines, stories, op ed columns, pundit outrage were: the president is too calm; is this Obama's Katrina; president not showing anger; too cool to lead. What is today's headline: President wants to kick ass. None of the headlines or opinions plug the darn hole. There's plenty of blame to go around but blame doesn't plug the hole either.
None of the opinions, pundit outrage or critic views are worth a grain of salt in the reality that BP dug a hole into the earth to pump oil and in the process blew up a well 5000 ft down that requires a robot to fix and failed to plan for this type of disaster.
(great find) counter with:
okay, but that"s the ONLY BP spill we're going to be responsible for!

Winery and Vineyard Applications
McClain Ozone pioneered the use of ozone in the winery and vineyard industry. In 1994 John McClain began working with wineries on ozone sanitation solutions and has continued to revolutionize the wine industry with new advancements in ozone sanitation. His research, combined with others, documented the efficacy of ozone in barrels, bottling lines, tanks and many other winery and vineyard applications. With hundreds winery clients worldwide, McClain Ozone is the leader in the production of mobile and stationary ozone sanitation systems for the wine industry. With hundreds of winery clients around the world, McClain Ozone produces sanitation systems designed to meet the needs of any size winery (Client List available on request).
Ozone a Versatile Organic Sanitizer in the Winery
Sanitation plays a critical role in winemaking. Historically, wineries have used chlorine (and/or other halogen chemicals) and heat (hot water and/or steam) for sanitation, but both or these methods have drawbacks and restrictions.
The high energy cost of generating heat and the harmful byproducts associated with halogen chemicals have made their use problematic. Many winemakers have chosen to completely eliminate the use of chlorine and other halogenated compounds to avoid the formation of TCA (2,4,6-trichoroanisole) and other aromatic halogenated hydrocarbons which impact wine flavors.
Ozone has several characteristics that make it excellent for winery sanitation.
Application of Ozone in the Winery
Ozone has become a single source organic sanitizer in the winery. Its use allows the winemaker to produce a better product through the control of spoilage organisms, mold and mildew in the winery. Winery applications include the following:
Barrel Sanitation and Storage – Hundreds of wineries utilize McClain sanitatio systems and aqueous ozone protocols to eliminate and prevent the return of microbial spoilage organisms (i.e. Brettanomyces, Acetobacter, malolactic and lactobacillus, etc.) in barrels. No rinsing after the sanitation is required which reduces sanitation times and water usage.
Gaseous ozone is being utilized to maintain barrel and wooden upright health during storage eliminating the use of sulfur and sulfur dioxide. Protocols for the safe use of both aqueous and gaseous ozone in barrels and wooden uprights have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Tank and Press Sanitation – The use of aqueous ozone in the sanitation of wood, stainless, polycarbonate and other tanks (wood, stainless, polycarbonate, etc.) and press equipment is a common application of ozone in wineries. Ozone, utilized with proper protocols and CT values provides effective and rapid sanitation of tanks and presses. In addition, when used in a tank recirculation mode, ozone can save hundreds of gallons of water during the tank sanitation process. The breakdown of ozone to oxygen does not result in tank damage as is often the case with chorine. No rinsing after the sanitation is required which reduces time and water usage. Protocols for the safe use of aqueous ozone in tanks and presses have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Bottling Line Sanitation - Conserving water and energy and maintaining bottling line sterility are a major concern for wineries. The unique "cold sterilization" ability of ozone, combined with its non-contaminating qualities and low water use, make it an excellent alternative to steam and hot water. The expansion and contraction of bottling line components created by heat contribute to the long term stress and damage to bottling lines. The use of cold aqueous water eliminates these stresses resulting in less bottling line downtime and maintenance cost. Protocols for the safe use of aqueous ozone in bottling lines have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Hose, Transfer Line, Valve, Barrel Bung and Pump Sanitation - Preventing the transfer of spoilage organisms in the winery is important to wine quality and a major concern of the winemaker. Aqueous ozone can be utilized to quickly sanitize all equipment which comes into wine contact eliminating the movement of unwanted microbes within the winery. Protocols for the safe use of aqueous ozone for winery equipment have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Surface Sanitation – Sanitizing winery floors, walls, drains and other surfaces with aqueous ozone reduces microbes (fungi, yeast, and bacteria), maintains a sanitary winery, and eliminates background odors. Protocols for the safe use of aqueous ozone for surface sanitation have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Air Sanitation and Vector Control – The use of gaseous ozone to control mold, airborne spoilage organisms and odors is a common practice in wineries. Gaseous ozone has also been shown to control fruit flies which are not only a nuisance but are also major vectors in the movement of spoilage organisms around the winery. Protocols for the safe and effective use of gaseous ozone have been developed by McClain and are available to McClain clients.
Application of Ozone in the Vineyard
Early empirical information on ozone in the vineyard has shown its ability to control mold, mildew and some pests when applied correctly. Ozone's USDA organic listing and low environmental impact make it an alternative to the use of less environmentally friendly chemical treatments. In addition, ozone does not require a harvest wait time and can be utilized immediately prior to harvest.
From everyday sanitation to mold and mildew control, Ozone is the perfect solution for your winery and vineyard sanitation requirements. Contact Us today to learn how McClain Ozone can help you sanitize simply and naturally.

Ian Holloway has hit out at Arsene Wenger and his interest in Wilfried Zaha and insists the player will not be leaving in January.
Wenger is keen to bring the talented winger to Arsenal as doubts surround the future of Theo Walcott and the Frenchman has gone public with his admiration of the player.That has not gone down well at Crystal Palace and Holloway says he will be getting on the phone to let Wenger know his feelings and tell him he is not for sale.The Eagles are pushing for promotion from the Championship and although he will eventually end up leaving the club, Palace will hold out until at least the summer."Why is he talking about my players? It's not the game," Holloway blasted. "I will be picking the phone up to talk to him as I don't think it is right and proper with the greatest respect.That is totally bad etiquette."Wilf is a big part of our season ? and we have such a strong contract others can go and whistle. He won't be available, no matter what the price is, in January."

Russia: Poland risks attack because of US missiles
Associated Press – August 15, 2008
A top Russian general said Friday that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile defense battery exposes ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported.
The statement by Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn is the strongest threat that Russia has issued against the plans to put missile defense elements in former Soviet satellite nations.
Poland and the United States on Thursday signed a deal for Poland to accept a missile interceptor base as part of a system the United States says is aimed at blocking attacks by rogue nations. Moscow, however, feels it is aimed at Russia's missile force.
"Poland, by deploying (the system) is exposing itself to a strike — 100 percent," Nogovitsyn, the deputy chief of staff, was quoted as saying.
He added, in clear reference to the agreement, that Russia's military doctrine sanctions the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them." Nogovitsyn that would include elements of strategic deterrence systems, he said, according to Interfax.
U.S. officials have said the timing of the deal was not meant to antagonize Russian leaders at a time when relations already are strained over the recent fighting between Russia and Georgia over the South Ossetia region.

More Bang for Your Buck: Infertility
If you're having trouble getting pregnant, you may have one of the most common causes of infertility and don't even know it. You can find out and maybe even make your dream of having a family come true.
(WSVN) A beautiful,healthy, baby. That's what Alisa Tang-Hap was wishing for. But she couldn't get pregnant.
Alisa Tang Hap, who has PCOS, says "It was very disappointing. And, frustrating because I didn't know what the cause was."
Fortunately Alicia heard about Endocrinologist Dr. Ken Gelman, who specializes in infertility. After running a few tests, he very quickly discovered her problem. A condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or P-C-O-S.
Dr. Ken Gelman, Memorial Regional Hospital, says "It's an inherited disorder it affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age, but my estimates are it's probably higher."
Many women who have it are overweight, have excessive body hair, irregular menstrual cycles, acne, are insulin resistant or have diabetes. But what makes P-C-O-S so difficult to diagnose is you can have all or none of the symptoms.
Dr. Ken Gelman says "Women who don't have the tell-tale signs of PCOS generally aren't diagnosed or are diagnosed possibly as having some kind of ovarian dysfunction."
Alisa had only one outward sign of P-C-O-S, but an ultrasound exam found cysts on her ovaries and a blood test confirmed her body wasn't using insulin properly. Those are sure-fire indicators of P-C-O-S. To help her conceive, Doc prescribed insulin regulating medication.
Dr. Ken Gelman says "By lowering their insulin levels, these women start to cycle regularly and many of them do get pregnant." Within 4 months, Alisa's wish finally came true.
Alisa Tang Hap says "This past Saturday I took a pregnancy test and it was positive, so, yeah it did a great job."
A recent study found that P-C-O-S can also lead to heart disease if it's not treated. So, even if you're not trying to get pregnant, if you have any of the symptoms, you should get tested for it and treated if necessary.

Teens Lift Car Off 2-Year Old Boy
A group of fast acting teens in Utah are credited with saving a little boy's life. Two-year old Isaac was hit by a car in his own driveway. He was dragged about 15-feet after which he became pinned under the vehicle. The teens saw what happened, ran to help, and proceeded to lift the vehicle up and off of little Isaac.

Incitement: Hit Palestinian Children's Song Glorifies Martyrdom
Just like Sesame Street: When we die as martyrs!
The Palestinian Authority is supposed to be combating incitement, at least that's what Mahmoud Abbas has told Obama, Israel and Jewish leaders.
Obamas has staked the last 17 months on reaching nothing remotely resembling peace. Instead we are shooting lower. According to White house officials dialog between the parties would be a major breakthrough, especially seeing as this actually was going on before Obama assumed office. So far so futile. The word was in Washington that by pressuring Israel (and pressure there has been in spades) the 'door would open' for comprehensive peace..
So far despite the grandiose plans, as well as a politically difficult settlement moratorium by Israel (which will soon expire after 10 months) there is..
- No open door
- No direct negotiations
- No seeming wider Arab world involvement
- No halt to PA incitement
All aboard, the peace train!!
Israeli Reality: President Obama Can No Longer Be Trusted (Update)
We Must Pursue a New Strategic Reality
It is now clear that the President of the United States is intent on appeasing the enemies of both America & Israel. It is also clear he intends to do so at our expense in Israel. Whatever his strategy, (beyond sheer malice) the following is evident. Obama is moving to impose a solution on Israel that will not deliver the prime ingredient, PEACE.
The President has broken a number of agreements with us, despite his assurances his word is meaningless. He broke agreements with us regarding Jerusalem, we painfully froze settlements in the West Bank excluding Jerusalem and months later our concessions have been digested, and he is only pushing for more. This means our concessions have no currency, they are like devalued dollars in an inflationary spiral. Forget guarantees, our concessions don't even generate goodwill! Neither with America nor the Palestinians.
The opposite, they are perceived as weakness by a tyrant intent on pummeling us further. Such a man cannot be entrusted, he has broken faith not only with our government, but the people of Israel. This new reality touches on a wide range of issues;
- American assurances regarding Iran's nuclear drive
- American assurances in any peace making efforts
- American assurances regarding defense, and or ballistic missile attack
- American assurances regarding a nuclear umbrella
Credibility Gap
If Obama intends to impose a mideast solution, he will try to force concessions from us that do not deliver peace. Worse, this imposed settlement will require Israel to place its security in the hands of others, either NATO or the US in the deluded notion that they will protect Israeli interests. Clearly, they will not. We have seen how this has failed previously, UN forces on the Suez, UN forces in Lebanon. Not once have they ever secured security for Israel. They have only sought to tie Israel's hands from ensuring its own security. This is the model Obama will seek when he pushes to impose a solution on any number of fronts.
The same can be said of Iran. We are being told not to strike and being given instead only American assurances. Such assurances are clearly worthless under this President. I am not being dramatic, polling shows Israelis do not trust the President, it is as simple as that. It may have been the case previously that Israelis would entertain allowing US forces or NATO forces to create a buffer between us & our enemies. Under this President who cannot be trusted this is no longer acceptable.
Whether it be Mid East peace, or more aptly titled Mid East concessions on land for no Peace.. Or the Iran threat, Obama has blown his own credibility with the people of Israel. His advisers whine about Netanyahu's credibility as a peace maker, this is noise. They do so after we called for a two state solution, after we froze settlements, after we openly maintained since day one we are prepared for DIRECT talks with the Palestinians. The Administration seeks to cover not only its own evident failures by blaming others, but those of the Arab world and the Palestinians as well – It's rather pitiful.
In reality it is their credibility which is now strained, not ours. We must act accordingly, we must now dig in for massive White House pressure on an imposed solution, up domestic support for Netanyahu, preserve the Labor / Likud coalition and prepare to strike Iran militarily. It is also likely Palestinian obstinacy will cause violent flare ups regionally, Hamas has already been emboldened by Obama's appeasement, Hezbollah will not be far behind.
Obama may believe he seeks peace, in reality all his failed ideologies and strategies will lead to war. The more he pressures Americas allies while giving a free pass to her enemies, the higher the likelihood of violence. When it explodes, we will know whom to blame.
UPDATE: March 29th
Haaretz today adds the muscle to the analysis above, as Jerusalem sources confirm the belief that Obama now seeks to impose a mediated settlement, and has broken American commitments with Israel. The article also touches on the credibility gap I wrote about above.
Below, a commenter expresses his frustration over the Obama tactics of bait & switch regarding Jerusalem, something felt strongly here in Israel as well.
Occupation Vocation: Palestinian Peace of the Not So Brave
Only The Right Can Make Peace
That's a well known secret in these parts borne out by fact. Contrary to conventional thinking, the Palestinians themselves most probably prefer Israeli right wing governments too. The reasoning is simple enough, Israeli right wing governments are the only ones that can bring stability, the possibility of peace, and a normal life for Arabs in the territories through stable economics and some sense of security to stave off at least partially, lawlessness & corruption.
Netanyahu through his right wing government is the only man that can bring about the chance for peace, and it is Netanyahu's 'Economic Peace Plan' which is the only one which even so much as stands a remote chance of success. For all the realists now so popular in America under Obama, they offer up a surprising lack of realism.
You're going the WRONG waaaay!
You cannot proceed Top Down as the Palestinians, Quartet & US have been for the most part proposing. We must proceed Bottom Up, as the big bad Likud & Israel have maintained for many years. This reality has been sinking in for the Palestinians but not via Abbas, rather from Fayyad the Palestinian PM & economic / fiscal chief. Without law & order, without institutions, without basic governing infrastructure & efforts toward joint security cooperation no peace plan no matter how wonderful or hyped can bypass reality.
In fact, this bottom up approach makes life so good for established Palestinians many seemingly don't even want to progress to the stage of Statehood, with all the responsibilities and work that would entail. It is much easier to simply sponge off economic aid & Israeli assistance, while maintaining world wide sympathy and simultaneously stoking international animosity toward Israel. This has been the Palestinian reality for a long time now.
Let the good times roll..
Under this formula, Palestinian elite enrich themselves, goods flow, the standard of living catapults upward. Contrast that with Top Down peace efforts such as those under Arafat -Where the leadership steals from the people, nothing gets done, terror causes closures with Israel stifling economic output, gangs of criminals and militants rule the streets, Israel is forced to carry out night time raids & arrests, and civilians are killed in the clashes. Meanwhile the international community loses its mind and suffers full on conniption.
Daled Amos does a great job outlining the economic realities in the territories, and why Abbas himself is seemingly content to sit & do nothing on multiple fronts, from Gaza to the West Bank..
Meanwhile, in the West Bank there is perhaps a growing realization that Netanyahu's 'economic peace' may be succeeding where others–including Obama–have failed:
Fayyad told Haaretz this month that he realized that "security was the glue between a thriving economy and proper government and achieving liberty for the Palestinian people." (On the question of whether or not Israel is a "Jewish state" — an admission Netanyahu has been adamant about getting from the Palestinians and which he has hitherto been denied officially — Fayyad sounded more Zionist-friendly than the New York Review of Books typically is: "The character of Israel, as the total character that Israel would like to have, is Israel's own choice.")
Back in May, Abbas said in his interview with Jackson Diehl of the Washington Post:
"I will wait for Hamas to accept international commitments. I will wait for Israel to freeze settlements," he said. "Until then, in the West Bank we have a good reality . . . the people are living a normal life." In the Obama administration, so far, it's easy being Palestinian.
Abbas will continue waiting, assuming that everything he wants will fall into his hands. However, if it is not Israeli concessions but rather Israeli contributions to the reemerging Palestinian that make the news, Abbas will find that the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank are growing tired of waiting for him.
On a cautionary note, George Gilder writes in The Israel Test that historically foreign aid intended for economic recovery is conducive to corruption and failure, rather than economic growth. When I emailed him about the apparent challenge that the West Bank poses to that rule, he responded:
Hey, when you have a 40 to 60 percent drop in output in the midst of violence, it is relatively easy to get a rebound when calm returns and you have Netanyahu both standing firm against more concessions to terrorists and declaring his determination to open new opportunities for enterprise in the territories.
If Netanyahu's broad based economic recovery for the Palestinian Arabs is successful–and Gilder is a big admirer of Netanyahu's economic know-how–then maybe this time around the apparent Palestinian economic renaissance will be permanent, and auger better times to come in the region.
Indeed, there may be growing pressure between Fayyad & Abbas. Abbas seemingly gets a pass from the USA & Quartet on everything. The world speaks day after day about propping up Abbas, supporting Abbas, helping Abbas.. Poor Abbas – the powerless victim. Meanwhile Fayyad is the one who has to get things done & face the music as the functionary and representative in the 2nd tier meetings with international working groups & players.
As Daled Amos writes, soon enough the Palestinians may begin to tire of having a perennial victim at the helm, especially if pressure mounts internationally and the good times start coming to an end, with yet another failed peace plan sure to usher in the same factors that existed under the Top Down Arafat years. Stifling the good life Abbas & the Palestinians now enjoy in Judea & Samaria. Doubly so if the chance at statehood slips right through their fingers yet again, through their leader's obstinacy & weakness to concede for the benefit of his people and peace.
Peace & Security is the platform of the right
It was the right wing Likud leader Begin who delivered Peace with Egypt, in Israel itself center left voters feel much safer entrusting Netanyahu & the right to secure peace, while clearly right wing voters will entrust no one else. On the Palestinian side the Israeli right brings prosperity and the chance for peace. Tony Blair, Quartet special envoy to the region is a solid backer of Netanyahu's bottom up plans having seen the realities himself these past 2-3 years. He professed as much in testimony to the US House of Congress at Obama's behest. The question remains, when will the ideologues in America & the new American President come around too?
One prays it isn't only after their own plans & ideas fail as have so many others before. Instead of bullying Netanyahu & Israel, instead of undermining the Likud and indirectly Israel itself which via majority supports the party & government, it is high time Rahm, Obama, and the rest of the National Security Council team face these realities.
It is not a few housing units here or there, or a kindergarten under construction which is holding back peace. It's failed ideology both within the Palestinian camp itself, and from America's eager but erroneous left wing & leadership. That is not to say peace will be easy or forthcoming, only that failure to acknowledge these realities means it will never come at all.
Obama or Carter?: "I have been in love with the Palestinian people for many years" (Videos)
Two peas in a pod?
President Obama is often compared to former president Jimmy Carter. A Google search of the words Obama & Carter in fact turns up over 13 MILLION results. Considering the fact that one of those two keywords (Obama) is fairly unique, that's a heck of a lot of returns.
Regarding American domestic policy, especially looking at economics & parallels one could probably write an interesting book on the topic. In the domain of foreign policy things become even more striking. As an example, Newt Gingrich about a week ago appearing on Fox News was asked directly by Greta Van Susteran whether such a comparison was valid?
Israel & the Palestinians?
Gingrich makes some solid points, I'll gladly leave it to the reader to decide whether or not one agrees. On the topic of Israel & the Palestinians however I think there's much less room for debate. Former President Carter openly holds contempt for Israel, his most recent book implies Israel is an apartheid state for heaven's sake. His open admiration of the Palestinian people & their cause is certainly no secret.
Turning to President Obama, his own past associations are replete with examples of Palestinian sympathy. His most recent speech in Cairo calling the Palestinian situation quote "intolerable" is only one of many, it painted an odd contrast to Mahmoud Abbas himself who recently told the Washington Post that life for the Palestinians was great!
I'm also reminded of statements by Jesse Jackson (another famous 'Israel fan') during the presidential campaign, when he referred to Obama as the 'Palestinian Deliverer'.. Further, Obama's literal crusade against Israel of late is well reported & well known, prompting the Washington Post editorial page (no huge friend of Israel) to question whether the President needed to temper his anti-Israel zeal.
It's all a bit disconcerting really
Especially when one looks at the fact that Jimmy Carter just finished meeting in Syria with Hamas terrorists and being honored by the Palestinians, who have awarded him the "Palestine International Award for Excellence and Creativity" whatever that means. Here's President Carter's response..
"I have been in love with the Palestinian people for many years," he said Saturday, adding that this is a feeling shared by members of his family. "I have two great-grandsons that are rapidly learning about the people here and the anguish and suffering and deprivation of human rights that you have experienced ever since 1948," he said.
Notice that Carter scales all the way back to 1948, blaming Israel for 'oppressing' the Palestinians while Jordan ruled the West Bank & Egypt ruled Gaza, thus basically delegitimatizing Israel's right to exist entirely. This is quite similar to President Obama, who famously did the exact same thing in Cairo when he denied the Jewish people's 2000 year long true historical claim & longing to return to the land of Israel. This is the basis of Judaism - the Jews covenant with Gd.
Instead, Obama swallowed the Arab narrative whole and basically stated that Israel was created because of the Holocaust, mirroring Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's view of the situation to the letter, a man who questions Israel's right to exist because he claims Europe should pay the price for the Holocaust, not the Arabs or the Palestinians – Therefore according to his and Israel hater's logic the Jews don't deserve a homeland in Israel.
Indeed, here's a bit more Carter today, and his view of Obama policy..
Referring to President Barack Obama's call for an Israeli settlement freeze, Carter said that "in the future, I am sure, he will call for the dismantling of the settlements that exist." But he noted that Obama also called for an end to violence against Israelis and for Arab acceptance of Israelis' right to their own nation. [...] Carter, 85, pledged his "assistance, as long as I live, to win your freedom, your independence, your sovereignty and a good life."
Lovely. First freeze, then deport all the Jews entirely! I myself am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Carter is probably right about Obama in this case. I think President Obama is an Israel hater just like Carter – Perhaps he too has 'been in love with the Palestinian people for many years.'
Some Images of Obama meeting with Abbas at the White House recently.
And one of Obama Professing his 'love of Israel' with Netanyahu at the White House..

A Wilkes-Barre man and two Plains Township men have applied for the vacant spot on the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board.
The Rev. Shawn Walker is the city resident who applied. In May, the board appointed Walker to a seat vacated by Robert Corcoran, and that term ends after the Nov. 5 election.
The current vacancy on the board is from Maryanne Toole's resignation. Toole was first elected to the board in 2003, and the term for her seat ends in 2015.
The other applicants for Toole's seat are Joseph J. Gurnari and John C. Sokolowiski. Business manager Leonard Przywara released the names of the applicants and will release submissions from the applicants after school board members receive that information.
The board plans to meet Nov. 6 and appoint someone to serve in Toole's seat and finish the remaining two years left on that term in office. The Nov. 5 election will determine four board seats with four-year terms, and six candidates are on the ballot.
Ten candidates ran in the May 21 primary election, and eight of them cross-filed to run in both the Democratic and Republican contests. Three candidates - Joe Caffrey, Denise Thomas and incumbent Christine Katsock - won nominations from both parties.
Kathy Grinaway won a Republican nomination, and Ned Evans won a Democratic nomination. Sam Troy is on the Nov. 5 ballot as an independent.
