Yeah. Lost my job before Christmas. Many building sites haven been delayed. And the cold weather of the last few weeks doesn't really help either to find another job for a different company. At least we have a unemployment law here in Holland so i get 70% of my last income for 5 months or so.
No it doesnt effect me atm as i have a permanant position at work am single (not happy Jan) and have a fair amount of savings.
I'm a G-Man. Relatively immune to layoffs. Thankfully I don't have any debts. The effect it does have is that I'm saving up a lot in fear of rising inflation, which is somewhat affecting my lifestyle.
Yes...In my area the layoff rate is taking it's toll. Circuit City, Qimondo, Smurfit Stone,Wyeth ,and other plants/businesses laying off and putting a large number of people on the street. The crime rate seems to be rising, as in, more theft, robbery, violent crime, so you have to watch yourself and property a lot more. Property crimes and home break-ins are really on the increase. Money wise, not much, right now, but may get worse, if costs increase.
yes it has affected me and other's in the community, the whole world is going to feel the affect's of this dilemma.... it was planned though, here is a good film that shed's some light, IMO anyway's.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-594683847743189197
Quite a few people were let go from my place. Salary/travel freezes & incredibly tight expenses... the usual Been through some downturns before, but this one seems their hardest yet.
Lost my job at the end of December when the company I worked for collapsed (Woolworths). I'm about £2500 in debt, and getting less than £100 a month in benefits, and despite 2 years worth of retail experience, and a couple months management experience no one wants to hire me. Yes, it's affected me horribly. However I have an opportunity to work at the Foreign Commonwealth Office down south, but going to take 3 or 4 months before 1) I find out if I'm accepted, and 2) I get security clearance to get on the site and start work.
Being from Michigan, most of the people that would be getting layoffs, have already been for months. It's kinda nice, because we're ahead of the curve a little bit. Our worker base is changing to be much more dynamic than simply auto manufacturing and related tech. There are more biochemical jobs coming here related to agriculture. Google has set up shop locally. Our entire state economic policy is fully devoted to diversity in our job economy. We've been suffering for years, and the rest of the country still hasn't caught up. lol. 10.8% unemployment in Michigan. A lot of that number is from people waiting to go back to work for the auto industry. I'd imagine another 3% would be tacked on, except they decided to step away from their careers and do something else. I'm a pretty common example. I worked as a quality engineer for a while, got laid off over the summer and finally got into the IT job I wanted. My company is still small (1400-ish), but have had huge gains year after year, over 50%. Our scope for expansion, even in the current economic downturn, will not be fulfilled for at least 5 years. This is the kind of company that Michigan really doesn't have. With everything being so centric around auto, these types of companies are generally outsourced from other states, and overseas. We're 100% Michigan here, and now WE are the ones outsourcing to other states (and sometimes Canadia). I can think of at least a dozen other industries that simply do not exist here, and are fully brought in from elsewhere. These are the things that I feel states need to look at, and fulfill, to be prosperous. There's always a premium when you deal with national companies over local ones. When the balance falls to the side of nation-wide companies, the local economy becomes dependant, and will ultimately fail. Manufacturing will still be a large part of the economy here, but eventually those 10% will have to realize, it's not going to be automotive that they'll be working.
I honestly think if the media and every one would stop prmoting this "economy crisis" everything would go back to normal, people would spend their money without worry. i think its a bunch of bull crap
it affect me even if i am only 18 and even if i live with my parents. we have to keep an eye on the price tag for everything. My mother's car is 14 years old but we cant buy a new one. Both my parents have a pretty good job and the house where we live belongs to us, so we havent got to pay any rent. many friends here have been fired. People just cant spend money without worry like freaksaviour said because they dont have any money anymore. the supermarkets are empty at the end of the month here in Italy. why? because here we all get paied on the 27th of each month, and lots of people fhave no money already on the 20th. economy is bugged. there is something wrong with it. When will the virtual value of things reflect their real value?
NO WE ARE NOT!! its in peoples head!! seriously why did this "crisis" hit us? hmm thank you media and freakin news for filling everyone head full of crap!
Yes I am feeling the affects ...find out if I still have a job tomorrow.... ....been with the company for over 10 years .....I am from upstate Ny ...NO jobs around here
There's a couple of key indicators actually. Most of them stem from the housing market... Couple years back feds decided to mandate the minimum amount of low-income loans banks had to make to be fair. Banks started meeting these standards that they were forced to uphold. Turns out, they started to see a whole ton of money from lowering their standards, and were writing loans by the fist-full every day. Smelling huge return investments they started creeping in bad words like 5-year ARM, and balloon payments.Those low-income families defaulted on their loans, banks couldn't eat the horrible horrible losses, construction companies had to immediately halt and fold, and pretty much any bank that dealt these loans fell apart and started scrambling for money. What they got hold of, they never let go. Banks that don't loan, don't make money. Companies that can't get a loan, don't grow, and occasionally can't pay their employees. The entire new construction boom was a huge loss, since there was an overabundance of new homes still unsold. It's not some made up lie. It's dramatic, and media loves to run with bad news, but it seriously isn't some huge conspiracy made up to scare people. You are right in that we should stop talking about how bad things are, and talk about instead what is going on about fixing that. Hence we've turned to our government to figure it out, hence all the TARP funds towards economic stimulation. It took years for the market to bubble and pop. It's going to take a while to collect the pieces and get things back in order. Certainly not the end of the world, but still serious and real.
your a federal agent? Thats a acronym for federal agent here Yes it does being a retired police officer my pension might be effected and since I retired early from injuries, I drive a school bus, because frankly it's not physically demanding and I like kids (plus where I live it's 24.99, a hour payed summers off and you only work a 160 days a years), but a levy may fail soon and I could lose that job as well. This could get very ugly.
Oh, I eagerly await the opinions of the amazing financial experts that are sure to show themselves in this thread, telling us exactly why the collapse has happened and why, if everyone just listened to them, they could fix it. As for me, nothing's affected me... yet.
Yes we are. The official definition of a recession is a fall in output for 2 successive quarters. As of this month, the UK is officially in a recession. While I do believe that we shouldn't be being told to save, save, save, but to spend instead (in moderation), it still can't be denied we are in for rough times. As long as banks are not borrowing/lending between each other then it's much harder to get credit, most business rely on credit to keep themselves a float, a lack of credit means businesses either have to cut back (personnel, company cars etc.) or fold. The media is making it worse, they did not cause it.
Even though i'm a student with no current job anyway it has hit me, i'm spending a lot less so i can last as long as possible after my graduation this year without getting in any more debt (i think £12k is enough debt for a student...) The most annoying part of all this is the only 2 places to buy dvds and blu rays in aberystwyth were from woolworths (gone) or w h smith, who got their dvds from woolworths :shadedshu (note i do feel bad for all the poor people who lost their jobs at woolies)..
I used to go to Woolworth in Cleveland as a kid they all just went out of business in the USA last month I believe.
I'm not going to be too hard on you, I mean, we aren't all economists...but you clearly know NOTHING about economics. The basics aren't hard to understand, however. Other than the credit crisis that has already decimated the global banking system, the US economy no longer really exists and has been in decline for a while. The tech boom was a temporary boom of actual value production but it has been largely outsourced by now. There are no technical innovations (on the scale of the automobile or microchip or internet) that are going to resuscitate the US economy and we're at the beginning of a very long, very hard awakening to some of the most fundamental contradictions of capitalism. Financialization, which honest economists have been decrying for years, means that the US doesn't really produce much for a country that consumes more than anyone in the world.

I agree with Raggies comment and will update it as it is over 65+ percent of Americans who are overweight. San Angelo is over 65 percent as one can just look at people in stores and even looking at the City Council members. In the US, one in three children are obese. In San Angelo, it is over 40 percent. Of those overweight children, 80 percent will remain overweight into adulthood. This is the first generation that will die before their parents due to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, cancer.....Children are now having heart attacks and diagnosed with diabetes type 2.
Doctors need to stress and educate on Body Mass Index for Adults and Percentile for children. How many doctors are taking the time to explain Body Mass Index or Percentile to patients? How many Doctors are diagnosing Obesity in adults and children?The City Council should be setting the example of losing weight. Where are they during charity runs? That is why San Angelo needs bike lanes and parks. The money spent on bike lanes will offset medical cost in the future. Stay healthy and avoid complaining about the cost of medical services. There is no miracle pill nor can one be saved during the last days of life. Maintain a healthy body by exercising and proper nutrition.
I couldn't have said it any better.

Attachment 1081
And the class action plaintiffs are asking the judge [PDF] to help them get discovery that SCEA is, they claim, reluctant to provide. Role reversal. In the SCEA v. Hotz litigation, SCEA is all about discovery, all they can get. Here, its the opposite.
There is a transcript from a February 9th hearing in the Sony class action attached as an exhibit to the plaintiffs letter to the judge in the case, and I think youll be amazed. Would you like to know what SCEAs lawyers think of customers who use Linux? We get to find out, because the hearing begins with SCEA asking the judge for access to the plaintiffs hard drives. Why would you want that, the judge asks? These are not defendants accused of anything, remember. Sony is the one in the hot seat, but here is the incredible answer: because, says their attorney, these plaintiffs say they used Linux, so SCEA suspects they were part of a hacking conspiracy, and theyd like to check. Theres more, and Ill tell you all about it.
And SCEA claims in the transcript that it wasnt the entity that decided to drop OtherOS. It says in this courtroom that Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. is responsible for that decision. In Hotz, SCEA says it is responsible for pretty much everything to do with PS3s in the US, or at least I got that impression. SCEA also tells the judge at the hearing that theres been a change in the corporate setup. SCEI isnt the parent of SCEA any more. So I did a little research on that. Who are they then? And how how were they related? I have found some press releases that clarify very nicely.

I was contacted by the same MTV rep yesterday as well, Jerrid. While she apparently went into more detail with you about what MTV's ultimate plan for the program was, she went through the same list of questions and talked about a potential spot on some sort of steering committee.
In any event, I'm really excited about the potential boost this partnership would mean, but I'm hesitant to have to "conform" to a certain set of rigid "standards" regarding how I run my shows, you know? It's one thing to say that sponsorship requires certain mininum standards be met, but it's another thing entirely to have to make radical changes to conform to specific requirements...
To explain my point, I currently use a 23" CRT TV for performer viewing. I go with the CRT because no one can ever complain that the calibration may not be correct. If sponsorship meant that I would have to use, say, a 30" screen size or higher, that's fine. But if I were forced, for instance, to upgrade to a 30" or larger LCD HD display to maintain sponsorship, that would be an excessive standard in my opinion. In fact, there may be certain proposed requirements that I simply cannot meet due to the nature of my business. There is a world of difference between setting up a very specific staging for a single venue for a single purpose, and what I do, which is setting up the best available stagings for multiple venues for multiple purposes while keeping setup time at a minimum and equipment dimensions reasonable for frequent transport.
Boy, I kind of went off on a rant there. Hope you guys stayed with me on that. Ultimate point is, I'd rather not be told the fine points of what my setup needs to be.

Posted: 11:48 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013
By Dylan DeSimone
The NFL Combine wrapped up on Tuesday, finishing with an exciting performance from the defensive backs. All of the safeties, corners and in-betweens ran the forty, benched and participated in various on-field drills. Dee Milliner and Tyrann Mathieu had particularly productive days.
As for the 49ers -- who are well out of Milliner's range by now -- they might want to consider looking at Mathieu, who picked up some steam on Tuesday. During his time in the NCAA, he became one of the most decorated players at a premier football program.
In 26 games, Mathieu accrued 133 tackles, 4 interceptions and 19 pass deflections. He also forced 11 fumbles and recovered six of them; two for touchdowns. His ability to make plays has earned him a lot of attention, but so has his off-the-field activity.
On NFL Network, Mike Mayock said players like Tyrann Mathieu are the reason the NFL Draft is an art, not a science. Mathieu is a high-ceiling playmaker, but has been labeled with character issues. An organization will take a chance on him, but which team and when is anyone's guess.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 186
40-time: 4.50 sec (4.43 unofficial)
Vertical Jump: 34.0 inch
Broad Jump: 117.0 inch
Shuttle: 4.14 sec
3-cone drill: 6.87 sec
Check out Mathieu's 2011 performances versus West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee.
As a defender, Mathieu was a Heisman finalist in the most competitive division in college football. In 26 games, he was a consistent presence for the LSU Tigers, proving to be a highly potent, multifaceted weapon.
Les Miles deployed Mathieu as a nickel corner, safety and return specialist.
Mathieu roamed the field with the sole purpose of making a play on the football, and then doing something with it once he had possession. He is a high-energy player that always seems to be in the middle of the action, which is great for San Francisco's swarming style of defense.
He can plug into the nickel and fill a need, providing talented depth at the cornerback position. He can be a blitzer, cover man and play up in the box in the 49ers 3-4 scheme. But more than anything, he would play a role in creative blitz packages.
Not to mention, with the inevitable departure of Ted Ginn Jr., Mathieu could bring some competition to the return game.
Mathieu on what teams are expecting from him:
They basically said they want me to play on the field, whether it is nickel, outside cornerback, or the return game. I feel like I am an elite prospect. Most people don't feel like that because of my stature but I make those same plays those bigger guys make and I think I am more physical than those guys also. I try to put everything together when I come on the field for game day, try to lead my team.
The word around the campfire is that Mathieu's stock has risen since the NFL Combine. There is a chance that an organization - and it only takes one - selects him earlier than expected. If Mathieu necessitates a second- or third-rounder, then forget about it, it's not worth it.
San Francisco has other needs in the draft, which would cause them to forgo a defective player in between rounds 2-4. If Mathieu slips outside the fourth, he should very much be in play for the Niners.
The other reason Mathieu might not fit is because he is a bit of a risk taker. The 49ers are looking to add more technically sound players on the back end, while the LSU corner has a chancy style of play. His aggressiveness going after the football will occasionally cause him to over-pursue, removing him from the play.
This will not be acceptable in Vic Fangio's defense.
-Deion Sanders thinks Mathieu should go in the 2nd or 3rd round
Deion Sanders went down to Florida to work with and interview Tyrann Mathieu. Sanders: I came out convinced he is a leader #NFLCombine
— NFL Media PR (@InsideNFLMedia) February 26, 2013
-Tyrann Mathieu addressed the concerns about his height, saying, "They can watch a whole lot of film on me. I make plays. Height has very little to do with it when you're playing the game of football."
Tyrann Mathieu: "If I was to check somebody like Calvin Johnson, he'll make his plays but I'm going to get mine too."
— Will Brinson (@willbrinson) February 26, 2013
-49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell had some one-on-one time with Tyrann Mathieu at the NFL Combine
49ers DB coach Ed Donatell was chatting with ex-LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu between drills. Mathieu smiled and gave Donatell pat on his back.
— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoCSN) February 26, 2013
-Click here for Tyrann Mathieu's full post-combine interview with Matt Smith and Bucky Brooks
-Click here for Tyrann Mathieu's ESPN exclusive with Joe Schad
-Click here for Tyrann Mathieu's profile via NFL Draft Scout
The fact is the 49ers can actually get a lot of value out of Tyrann Mathieu.
He has the potential to be a difference-maker in the NFL, and brings a great deal of versatility. Because of his off-the-field issues, he should fall to the mid-to-late rounds. This would be a great opportunity for the 49ers to get a value pick, while also filling a need.
And in San Francisco's locker room, Mathieu has a legitimate chance to flourish. Since the Niners will have roughly 14 draft picks -- maybe more pending the Alex Smith trade -- they should use one of their selections on Mathieu. Even if they bring him in and it does not work out, missing on a 5th rounder won't be crippling.

Posted 14 July 2007 - 09:59 AM
I sure don't want my auto mechanic services page to be known as page 3!
But maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works.
Posted 14 July 2007 - 06:23 PM
Now if they could take that same structure, but use words instead of page numbers, they might have something there! I don't want my page being linked to with the anchor text of "2"!!!
Posted 15 July 2007 - 06:33 AM
When the front page of your blog contains for example 10 posts then you as a visitor may want to see what the previous entries where and then you either click on next or previous in most cases.
I have yet to see a blog that uses anchor links to a previous front page which may be an option if the post entries are all about the same exact topic, but if you have a diversity of topics related to the same subject then it's getting a little more complicated and unfeasible, not to mention the clutter it would cause at the bottom of your page.
It also really doesn't matter if your page is being linked with "2" as a anchor link as it is not the post page itself containing the full article.
On the front page the article (Post Page) is being linked through the blog title and in my case with a Read more [Fill in desired keyword(s) here] type of link.
As of now i think the pagination concept is more crawler friendly then the "Previous" - "Next" type of link structure.

My question is ,since i have read this also benificial for creating a more SEO friendly URL structure, if this is true?
Persoanly if a blog post is long enough to have multiple pages I would split it into a series and post each part on sucsessive days.
Eg Blue Widget maintanance Part 1 , Blue Widget maintanance Part 2
and so on.
for example I am doing an intermitant series on my new pc build on my personal blog ime up to part 5 at the moment
Posted 16 July 2007 - 12:12 PM
Large blogs may be helped somewhat by sitemaps (either on-site HTML Sitemaps or XML Sitemaps that are exported to the search engines) but the RSS feeds that blogs publish combined with the "recent posts" archives that most blog software include automatically should be sufficient to get a decent blog crawled.
Where you run into trouble is if you have canonical issues (a big problem with many blogs where the same post may end up on five different pages without tagging and on potentially many more pages set up by tagging). Rather than use as many tags as possible for a blog post it is better to use as few tags as possible (I believe heavy tagging has been adapted by bloggers who frequent social media sites, where heavy tagging is encouraged and actually useful).
The best way to ensure that your older posts (and deeper content) are recrawled frequently is to link back to them from within your more recent posts.
BLOGGER redesigned its service around the beginning of this year and broke the archived posts feature. I have no idea of whether they have fixed it but they imprinted only the last 10-15 posts across ALL archived posts (thus wiping out most of their internal linkage). I stopped using BLOGGER when they implemented that "improvement".
Be sure that archived posts from six months ago only link to the posts that immediately preceded them rather than your most recent posts.

Advanced Squid Caching for Rails Applications: Preface
Since the day one when I joined Scribd, I was thinking about the fact that 90+% of our traffic is going to the document view pages, which is a single action in our documents controller. I was wondering how could we improve this action responsiveness and make our users happier.
Few times I was creating a git branches and hacking this action trying to implement some sort of page-level caching to make things faster. But all the time results weren't as good as I'd like them to be. So, branches were sitting there and waiting for a better idea.
Few months ago my good friend has joined Scribd and we've started thinking on this problem together. As the result of our brainstorming we've managed to figure out what were the problems preventing us from doing efficient caching:
- First of all, a lots of code in the action is changing the page view if our visitor is a bot (no, not a cloaking, just some minor adjustments of the view).
- Second problem was a set of differences in the view for anonymous and logged in users.
- And finally, third problem was the fact that the page has a few blocks that change pretty dynamically: document stats pane and comments lists.
All these problems when combined were creating a lots of pain when I was trying to cache a whole page. When we've figured them out, we've started thinking on how could we generalize possible combinations of those factors and possible approaches to caching.
There is a well known idea in web applications development: the fastest web app action is an action that does not require any code to be executed on your application server. So, first idea we've tried to think about was some approach that would definitely reduce the number of hits on our app servers. This idea was based on HTTP protocol features related to Last-Modified and E-Tag headers. But there was a problem – not so many users go to the same page twice so even if we'd make the page cacheable, it wouldn't help too much. But the idea of full page caching outside of the application was really good and we've started playing with it to figure out how to use it in production.
Long time ago, when Internet was slow and expensive many ISPs and large companies were trying to reduce their traffic w/o hurting users' experience. Then caching proxy servers were born. The idea of those servers was to handle all web requests going from a network (ISP or a company office) and try to cache as much content as possible so when the same or some other user would request a cached page, proxy server would return it really fast. If we'd implement support for those Last-Modified headers, all proxy servers would be happy to cache our pages. But there was a problem – no one uses caching proxies in 2008 So, we've got an idea – why can't we place such a server in front of our application and make it cache content for all users in the world? (Yes, we knew about a caching reverse proxies before – I'm just trying to explain the flow of our thoughts and words when we were brainstorming the problem).
The only problem with this approach would be to differentiate logged in users, anonymous users and bots. Considering the fact that our proxy server could be placed between the app and our web servers (nginx), we've decided to create a nginx module that would translate the same document page URLs to a set of URLs, which would be different for all those 3 kinds of users.
When all those problems with different kinds of users were solved, we've decided to solve the last one – non-cacheable dynamic stats pane. The solution was pretty simple – we've added a small ajax call to the page which would update stats on the cached version of our page for all real users while bots will see the same page, but with a bit stale stats pane.
Long story short, the results is really great. Application servers load reduced by 50-70%, database servers load is reduced by 30-60%, response times dropped down to 150-200 msec from 500-750 msec. As an additional positive effect of the caching we've managed to remove all fragments caches from the application and free more of memcached resources for data caches. Here are a few cacti graphs of our servers load/traffic (the caching was introduced on Oct 9th at night):
Main MySQL command counters:
One of our Application Servers CPU Usage:
One of our Application Servers Load Average:
Unfortunately there are a lot of things to share related to this caching experience, so I've decided to make a series of posts that would explain all the problems we had and solutions we've found for each of the following parts of the caching system:
- Logged in Users and Complex URLs Handling
- Rails code to support Last-Modified headers and how we purge caches
- Squid Server setup (configs and hardware)
- Nginx module development
So, if you're interested in details, subscribe to this blog's RSS feed and in a few days you'll see the first article from this series.

Alexey, you mentioned you used Squid for this, but have you tried Varnish? After hearing good things about it I experimented with it a bit with good results. I've not had a chance to test it with a high volume production system though and I'm curious to hear from others who have.
Before choosing Squid 3.0 I've discussed this with percona guys and they shared with my some really weird stories from their experience with Varnish (constant memory leaks, crashes, etc). So, I decided to go with Squid and pretty happy about the result so far.
The only thing that bothers me is that on that box I have two cores and squid uses only one of them… but so far even on one core it was just awesome (squid 3.0! 2.X versions were just awful first two days when I was setting the stuff up).
Since we are talking about server side caching, i have a question for you:
My rails app supports 304 Not Modified for a lot of key url, some of those return binary images. I want to use a server side caching proxy to keep the content – but it's important that requests still make it to the rails app for statistic collection reasons.
The rails app will reply 304 which should let the caching proxy release it's content to the client. That's at least how I think this should work. Varnish is currently disagreeing with me no matter how I setup the Cache-Control
Yes, I forgot to mention that we do hit the backend app for the same statistic reasons. We set Cache-Control header to 'public, max-age=0, must-revalidate' and this makes squid check with the backend on each request. I'll give more details in one of the following posts where I'll explain what and how we do in the application side. I think this will be the next post actually since this is what could be the most useful for others.
From what I've been able to determine, Varnish does not support validation (If-Modified-Since, If-Not-Modified). It supports the freshness model (Expires, Cache-Control/max-age) only. I was pretty sure Varnish 2.0 was going to add support for validation but it doesn't look like it's made it in yet.
s/If-Not-Modified/If-None-Match/, sorry.
Have you ever thought about splitting the page into a static,cachable part and a dynamic part, which are then merged on the frontend-Webservers using Server Side Includes?
Yes, this was the first thing I've tried (one of those many dead branches here). The problem was the following: we need lots of data to generate all the stuff on the page. Document info, comments, user info, owner info, stats, document security settings, bots information and much more. If we'd just take the main template and replace it with an SSI/ESI code, it wouldn't reduce load on our db machines at all and it would be painful to make all those SSI/ESI actions dependent on current user_id, bot/non-bot status, etc. And finally, we'd be forced to load those pieces of data for each small piece of html we generate for the ESI/SSI template. So, after implementing a huge part of this idea I've just stuck with a messy and weird configuration/code.
"We've decided to create a nginx module that would translate the same document page URLs to a set of URLs, which would be different for all those 3 kinds of users."
Just to share, instead of URL rewriting, the way we approached this problem was to use Squid's X-Accelerator-Vary feature. We make the load balancer inject headers (e.g. X-User-Type) and make the page return the appropriate X-Accelerator-Vary headers. Squid then selects an appropriate version of the page, matching the headers and cached copy's X-A-V fields.
Wow, thanks for the idea! I think I'll definitely try it here.

Newt Gingrich is simply unelectable as president -- But do the Republican right care?

Newt Gingrich |
Newt Gingrich is now leading the national poll of Republican presidential contenders according to Quinnipiac.
And the Republican right seems intent on political suicide.
That's the only way to read that poll, given that all the resistance to Romney is coming from the right who don't like him.
Yet the same poll showed that Gingrich trails Romney by 38 per cent to 22 per cent among Republicans when asked who has the better chance of defeating President Obama.
It is clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that Gingrich is a deeply flawed candidate.
The three wives, deserting one as she was in hospital with cancer, his ties to Freddie Mac and his downright obnoxious personality will all count heavily against him.

Then there is his latest wife Callista, a control freak, who will soon wear thin on the voters.
These are all red warning tags for Republicans.
Somehow many of them don't seem to care.
They ran candidates like this in the last election and threw away senate seats in Delaware and Nevada.
Could they now be ready to do it again?
The Obama folk must be praying its Gingrich and chanting 'Newt Newt Newt' in their sleep.
They know he is simply unelectable.
And so do most Republicans.
Or do they?

@JudyStinger - In our system, you can not change things until you get elected. To get elected, you have to sell your soul the the rich people and corporations (remember they are people too) that pay for your campaign. If you want to get re-elected so that you can make a change, you have to only agree to the things your masters want you to agree to. And THEY do not want you to compromise their wishes. Even when you are ready to give up seeking re-election, you do your master's bidding because they promise you a cushy job in their industries. So far, OWS is just shouting about how mad the 99% are with this corrupt system that we live under. Two good changes would remove all private money from campaigns and would outlaw lobbyists. The catch 22 is that to get those changes, our elected officials have to be willing to sacrifice themselves and their careers for the nation's welfare. Not too many HEROS have applied so far. Becareful who you pick instead of Obama. In Ohio, as in Wisconsin, many democrates voted for republicans in 2010 and are now really kicking themselves. Remember, no matter how bad it is, it can always get worse!

I am a Democrat and would vote for anyone at this point that would stop a second term of President Obama. Obama has been campaigning for the past several months while this country is going through an economic collapse. I'm tired of all the rhetoric about class warfare and partisian politics. It's apparent that re-election is the priority of those in Washington at the epxense of this country and it's citizens. The day of the career politician must end. We need to be represented by people who are willing to negotiate with each other and solve issues. The constant attacking isn't resolving any of the problems--wonder why they don't get that.

Part II - @jnewnam - For example, Solyndra was a Bush Administration hand-me-down and Obama just took a photo-op at their plant. The guy who ran Fast and Furious is the "Temp" head of the ATF because the idiot republicans in the senate will not approve Obama's choice for its director. (Many agencies are being run with out directors because of GOP politics) As for Obama's being an "economic idiot," the CBO just published its paper on how the his stimulus saved the America economy from ruin and all the other debt increase "under him" can be laid at GW's two wars which GW did not have the guts to include in his budgets. When Obama rightly included the cost of those wars in his accounting, the debt bloomed. Every economist says that "trickle down" is a lie. Demand drives supply never the other way around. It is always a good idea to get your information from as many sources as possible. When most say one thing and Fox tells it differently, Fox is probably wrong or lying. I can not speak to your description of Newt's interaction with his family. I hope you are right on that point at least. If the man has found God, I hope he seeks His guidance in all of his future actions. Sadly his new found "Humanity" in tonight's debate may end for him the way Perry's did.

Part I - @jnewnam - you must watch Fox "news" regularly as you have all of their anti-Obama propaganda litany down pretty well. I just saw a survey by a Private University in New Jersey that compared peoples' understanding of current events with their choice of news media. Surprisingly people who did not pay attention to the news on any media understood current events better than those who followed Fox regularly. This is because of the massive amount of misinformation being generated by Murdock and Ailes. Examples Will Follow:

Oh Lefties, you have gotten it so wrong once again. The FACTS ARE THAT his first wife asked him for a divorce before her discovery of cancer and in FACT Newt was towing their two children to and from the hospital to visit their mother. But the facts never, never get in the way of a leftie telling a lie. Why so afraid of Newt? Could it be that his intelligence and his knowledge of how the US government works and his knowledge of the facts and his ability to back up a question and set the FACTS straight so frightens the left and communist Obama? Could it be that Newt would so beat Obama in any debate? And while I'm at it lets just add that Newt is a recent convert to Catholicism, at the influence of his VERY PRACTICING CATHOLIC WIFE . YOU KNOW, CONFESSION, FORGIVENESS AND COMMUNION! Do you remember..FORGIVENESS FOR SINS BY confessing my sins, doing penance AND AMENDING MY LIFE, AMEN. NEWT WORKED WITH CLINTON AND BECAUSE OF HIM WE HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS. NEWT ALSO HAS A GREAT HISTORY WITH THE MILITARY, HIS FATHER WAS A ARMY LIFER. UNLIKE OBAMA HE HAS A GREAT RESPECT FOR THE MILITARY. Obama is a disgrace, is now planning to steal our 401k's and IRA's. Obama is an economic idiot. He has killed more jobs on a whim from the new healthcare tax on medical devices (Medtronic Mini Med, Stryker, Boston Scientific) to the AT&T T-Mobile deal to the Keystone Pipeline the man DOES NOT HAVE THE AMERICAN WORKER AND THE MIDDLE CLASS at heart. Then there is the 8000 fire employees from NASA, the interference with free states re: Boeing and the theft of money and breaking of contract law re: senior secured bond holders at GM. Now add Solyndra (and others) and Fast and Furious (you know the gun running and supplying of guns to the Mexican mass murdering drug cartels. Gee, I think that Iran/Contra pales in comparison to Fast and Furious. Political paybacks are rampant in the O administration.Obama has never met a LAW he was unwilling to break.

Ephraim Kibbey - right on! Stop doing the work for them is right. However, recording facts should be the work of the Fourth Estate. It should be noted that Newt was on the payroll of Big Pharma when the Plan D vote was being wrangled in Congress and we see how that has turned out to be such an overwhelming gift to Big Pharma and the Health Insurance Industry. As was written here in Irish Central, Newt Gingrich's Contract for America turned into the Contract ON America. However, it just seems that no one cares to really think things through anymore because if they did, they would realize that it began in the Reagan/Bush administration, the firing of PATCO and IranContra and the delightful world of De-Regulation - the permission to steal. This country is not in a Depression; this country is in Despair.

STOP IT!!! Stop vetting the GOP candidates for them. If they don't have a brain between them to see these clowns for what they really are, let them ask the wizard to chose a candidate. If the thinking press keeps quiet, maybe, just maybe, they will actually run one of these bozos. If you keep giving them the advantage of your research they might actually choose a real live intellegent conservative like William F. Buckley (from back when I was a Republican) - his son is out there somewhere although he got canned from his GOP press job for speaking the truth. The GOP has trouble with that "Truth" thing, you know.

A vote for Gingrich is a vote for evil, period. He is the epitome of selfishness, and his actions have proven this over and over and over, again. He will not be elected if he happens to get the nomination. Mittens will be the nominee and we will have 4 more years of Bush/Obama. God help us all, because our politicians sure as hell won't.

Newt is a very intelligent man and the left wing liberals will do anything to smear his name because they are scared to death of him.
For years I have heard that he served his wife with divorce papers while she was on her death bed. For years I thought she had died because that is what the left wanted us to believe to make him look bad. The truth is that the woman is still alive and well. Newt may have served her with divorce papers while she was in the hospital but it was not her death bed.
Don't believe everything the left wing news media tells you because a lot of it is lies.
Vote for anybody but Obama.

The survey showed that:
24% of employers at small- to medium-sized enterprises are more likely to support private medical insurance provision as a result of changes to the NHS
70% will maintain their current levels of provision
11% will be more likely to provide group income protection for employees as a result of changes to the Welfare State
79% will continue with current levels.
In addition to the reforms having a positive impact on employer-paid or contributed benefits, the changes may also be the catalyst for a greater provision of employee-paid medical and income protection: 48% of companies expect to add more voluntary (employee paid) benefits as a result of these reforms.
Steve Herbert at Jelf Employee Benefits says, "Employers are by no means immune from the impact of the government cutbacks on the individuals wellbeing – increased absenteeism is one obvious consequence that employers will have to face, as well as duties to those on long-term sick leave. While an employer can win some fairly obvious brownie points from employees by having a wider choice of benefit options in place, it also shows that employers are willing and able to ensure that their business is protected. Ensuring that key staff return to work at the optimum time – not before they are ready but without huge delays – will be vital in keeping small businesses, and the economy heading in the right direction."

It appears that you have a financial interest in marijuana promotion...sad...but here is a analysis from a U.S. government publication...not from me.
Most of the marijuana users I have known personally over the years had a tendency to be moderate to heavy drinkers also. To a person, they also claimed that marijuana is just a natural herb and it made them see things much more clearly. Did I mention that most of them are/were losers? I speak only from my personal observations including my thirty-five years in law enforcement where I saw the results of drug abuse too horrible to describe. I am sure that many Fortune 500 CEOs frequently imbibe in adult beverages and that natural herb to help them maintain that competitive edge.

Home Appraisals for Sellers
Aug 17th 2010 7:38PM
When Chris M. decided to list his home in upstate New York and move closer to Manhattan to ease his wife's commute to her new job, he ran into a major hurdle: "There was no consensus among the agents we spoke with about what our house was worth," he said. The solution? Hire a local appraiser to handle the job of evaluating... Continue Reading »

Facebook has become central receiving for quirky obits. That's how I got to know Harry Weathersby Stamps, Toni Larroux, the bra lady and the rocket scientist.
Stamps, who lived in Mississippi, is perhaps best known as the man who hated daylight saving time.
His obit was written by his daughter, a lawyer from Dallas, and opens with this line: "Harry Weathersby Stamps, ladies' man, foodie, natty dresser, and accomplished traveler, died on Saturday, March 9, 2013."
It noted his gustatory passions: "He had a life-long love affair with deviled eggs, Lane cakes, boiled peanuts, Vienna [Vi-e-na] sausages on saltines, his homemade canned fig preserves, pork chops, turnip greens, and buttermilk served in martini glasses garnished with cornbread." And, it noted that "the women in his life were numerous. He particularly fancied smart women."
Stamps considered daylight saving time to be "the devil's time," and died the day before he would have had to "spring forward" and set the clocks ahead an hour. "This can only be viewed as his final protest," the family's obituary noted.
The obit went viral, and it can safely be said that more people knew Harry Stamps in death than in life. Hayes Ferguson at Legacy.com, which aggregates newspaper obituaries, said Stamps so far has received more than 750,000 page views.
Toni Larroux's family-written obit may have blurred the lines between fact and fiction, but it, too, was a hoot. It was written by her children in a hospital cafeteria as she lay dying. They insisted that it was the way she'd want to be remembered:
"Waffle House lost a loyal customer on April 30, 2013. Antonia W. "Toni" Larroux died after a battle with multiple illnesses: lupus, rickets, scurvy, kidney disease and feline leukemia. She had previously conquered polio as a child contributing to her unusually petite ankles and the nickname "polio legs" given to her by her ex-husband, Jean F. Larroux, Jr."
Obits for the bra lady and the rocket scientist were written by the same New York Times scribe, Douglas Martin. The bra lady's obit, clever and uncontroversial, went like this: "Selma Koch, a Manhattan store owner who earned a national reputation by helping women find the right bra size, mostly through a discerning glance and never with a tape measure, died Thursday at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She was 95 and a 34B."
But the rocket scientist's obit caused an outcry that led the editors to take the rare step of changing the lead sentence in a published obit.
The original seemed to rhapsodize about Yvonne Brill's domestic skills at the expense of her career as, well, a rocket scientist: "She made a mean beef stroganoff, followed her husband from job to job and took eight years off from work to raise three children. 'The world's best mom,' her son Matthew said."
Howls of protest took the beef stronganoff off the menu as the obit was changed to read: "She was a brilliant rocket scientist who followed her husband from job to job and took eight years off from work to raise three children. "The world's best mom," her son Matthew said."
The controversy was a big topic of discussion at the conference. Was it sexist to mention her beef stroganoff before the professional barriers she broke? And was that sexism deliberate?
The obit writers believe it was a misguided attempt at a literary twist. Tom Hawthorn and Bryan Marquard, who both were honored with "Grimmies," the group's equivalent of an Oscar, wondered if the outcry would have been as pitched if a woman's byline, say Margalit Fox's, topped the obit.
The women, who vastly outnumbered the men at the conference, insisted that it would.
Obituary as essay
And then there was Shelagh Gordon, a 55-year-old woman who was the subject of a lengthy, 5,000-word obituary in the Toronto Star last year. It was meant as an experiment in narrative journalism, as a way to examine an ordinary life in search of the extraordinary.
"I met Shelagh Gordon at her funeral," began columnist Catherine Porter, the lead writer in an ambitious team effort involving 20 staffers. "She was soap-and-water beautiful, vital, unassuming and funny without trying to be. I could feel her spirit tripping over a purse in the funeral hall and then laughing from the floor."
Shelagh had never married. She grew up in a large, loud family; nobody noticed until she was 8 that she was deaf in one ear. As an adult, she indulged herself each afternoon in an hourlong bath, reading novels and eating orange slices. She was probably depressed, Porter learned. But she was unfailing kind, as Porter described it, "freshly-in-love thoughtful." And that kindness touched a lot of people.
"She was both alone and crowded by love. In another era, she'd have been considered a spinster -- no husband, no kids. But her home teemed with dogs, sisters, nieces, nephews and her "life partner" -- a gay man -- who would pass summer nights reading books in bed beside her wearing matching reading glasses."
Porter, who spoke at the conference, said telling Shelagh's story changed her. She recalled going through Shelagh's closet, trying on her shoes to better understand her. It was difficult it to understand how someone so outwardly loving and generous with family and friends also could keep herself closed off, failing to find a spouse or make a mark in the working world.
Whither the obituary writer?
The trade of writing obits is in transition. More than half of the obit writers at the conference have taken buyouts, retired or been pushed out of newsrooms across the United States and Canada. In the wake of such carnage, last year's conference was canceled altogether.
People who write obits see their work as noble rather than morbid. After all, the business part of an obit -- the death -- is usually dealt with quickly, with a single line. So-and-so died unexpectedly at home at the age of 108, for example. And then it's on to the good stuff, the details of ordinary life.
Over the years, the great American novel has, at various times, been declared dead. So have newspapers -- and reading altogether. And yet, here you are, right now, at this place near the end of a written story about writing and dead people. So what does that say? Are obits, the nonfiction poetry of the dead, the key to keeping the written word alive?

Kept Hands Warm and Dry, Best Gloves Eve

Comments about Outdoor Research Omni Gloves:
All my gloves state size Large so that is what I ordered and they where much too big so I went with a Medium. I used them as a glove, not a liner, and even with 25F temps and 50mph winds my hands were warm, dry and very comfortable while backpacking with trekking poles. I used them in hard rain and hard snow. My hands didn't sweat either. I thought the glow in the dark thing was a bit overboard until I was in a dark tent or mummy bag and it sure came in handy, though it doesn't last long, which was ok because they are so bright. After several days use they still look like new. I'll have to buy a 2nd pair just in case I loose one. I highly recommend these gloves. They are the first pair I have owned that stated waterproof and held up to their standards.

Fantastic Gloves!
By Shane
from DC
These gloves are great, everything I was looking for plus more. Dexterity is great, I don't have to take them off when I reach into my pocket, etc.. Nice snug fit, warm yet breathable, good protection against wind. Love the glow in the dark grip too. Very happy with these!

Local voters send DFL candidates to Minnesota House, Senate
DFL 11A House candidate Mike Sundin pulled in a total of 12,610 votes (nearly 64 percent) to Republican candidate Jim Putnam's 5,931 and Independence Party candidate Cory Pylkka's 1,164 votes. State Senator Tony Lourey (DFL) had 24,342 votes to Republican candidate Bill Saumer's 13,505 votes.By: Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
Minnesota House District 11A candidate Mike Sundin started his day Tuesday at 5 a.m., standing outside Sappi in Cloquet as the shifts changed at the paper mill. The DFL candidate finished his campaigning the same way, some 12 hours later.
"Wednesday was dedicated to visibility and last-minute, get-out-the-vote efforts," said a tired Sundin Tuesday night, grabbing a bite to eat at the Third Base Bar in Carlton where he held his election night gathering. "I've done these visibility efforts in the past and I've never seen so much civility. People were very kind, even when they weren't supporting me. It can get nasty at times in Duluth, so I'm very proud of Carlton County and Duluth."
Sundin's campaigning paid off in a big way Tuesday, as he pulled in a total of 12,610 votes (nearly 64 percent) to Republican candidate Jim Putnam's 5,931 and Independence Party candidate Cory Pylkka's 1,164 votes.
Because House District 11A is a new legislative district created after redistricting (by a panel of judges) this spring, there was no incumbent in the race. The district includes all of Carlton County, along with two townships in northern Pine County and five townships in southern St. Louis County.
Sundin said he thought voters responded to his "key message" about restoring the Market Value Homestead Credit, which the state legislature abolished two years ago. As a result, many homeowners saw their property taxes go up nearly 7 percent last year even though the levy for the city of Cloquet was set at zero percent.
"I think people connected with that message," the Esko resident said Tuesday night. "It's a serious issue that I will pursue."
Putnam, contacted by telephone Wednesday morning while he was out picking up yard signs, said he was disappointed with the loss and disappointed with the lack of support he got from the Republican Party as a whole.
Better party support could have made a difference, said Putnam, who is now free to finish his second term as mayor of Scanlon.
"I had very little support except for the last two months," he said. "I was 90 percent of my campaign. Yes, I had some good helpers, but I feel that the Republican Party took me for granted and didn't support me like they should have."
When asked if he would run again, Putnam said that decision would have to wait.
"That depends how my opponent votes in St. Paul," he said.
State Senate District 11
Area voters sent State Senator Tony Lourey back to St. Paul for a third term by a similar margin to the House race: the DFL candidate had 24,342 votes (64 percent) to Republican candidate Bill Saumer's 13,505 votes (36 percent).
By Wednesday afternoon, Lourey was already in St. Paul, taking care of business.
The Kerrick resident – who lives on a farm around the corner from where he grew up – said he was "humbled by the opportunity to return to St. Paul and work for the betterment of the region and state."
"It's a lot of work, but it's work that I do happily," said Lourey, who returns to the Senate for another four years, following his previous four-year and two-year (because of redistricting) terms. "I hope everyone knows they can contact me with their issues and concerns and I will do my best."
