6-3 in favor! Move on to the election!
I want to read it, but it appears to be a sad day for the US. You don't know what you've done and what it's going to do to us. We are now teathered to the government for our lives. Just look to the damage nationalized healthcare is having on England, it's all going to come here.
We are already $16 TRILLION in debt and now we are going to see government grown to control this program?!?! Where is that money going to come from, oh yeah us. The government already has said that they underestimated the costs of nationalized healthcare by 1/3 and it hasn't been fully implemented yet- where is that money going to come from, oh yeah us. Businesses will be forced to pay federal healtcare taxes as well as otherwise if they so choose- get ready to loose your insurance coverage as they won't want to pay for the extra costs for long. Where is the extra cost going to come from, oh yeah us.
Now they will develop a program to choose your value- are you worth that surgury? How old are you? Do you have enough value to the country to warrant the costs? Get ready, it's going to come to you personally. I hope you all know what you bought in to.
Obama's plan to fundamentally change the country is moving on as marked. Too bad his plan is the complete opposite of what this country was founded for.
Time to push even harder for Romney so he can dump this pos bill, because I will not have death panels dictating my parents health.
yeah, really go look at the damage that everyone having health care insurance has caused England. Mostly related to fewer people dying and whatnot.
Romneycare really is the best course for this nation. Thanks to Obama, we have it.
Rather than Obama wasting 3 1/2 years, looks like Mitt the FLIP has wasted the last 8 years! Treating everybody equally makes my day!!!
Nationalized universal healthcare systems, like many nations in Europe have, including England, are consistantly scored better than the US healthcare system in terms of both quality of care provided and overall cost of care.
As for that cost/value program you're worried about, the health insurance companies already have that system in place. That's why you get the treatment they choose to cover, instead of the treatment your doctor suggests. Happens all the time.
The insurance companies will remain in control of the job of, "death panel".
JoeNY.....so very true.... For those that voted in favor, and for Obama for just considering it ----you have changed our rights as a Freedom Nation.... and now you just opened a can of "destruction" ...........you and your children will now be in for a rude awaking.... when the goverment orders you to have Health Care- or else .... you can bet it is only the beginning of him ordering you to take pay a "protection" fee as well...... THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA--- and to read all this non-sense by these young punks..... makes me just sick.
This is an unmitigated disaster! As I watched Lawrence McDonald on MSNBC last night he lambasted, no, excoriated the bill to no end on numerous grounds. Lawrence is as far left as you get. We both agree the bill sucks, but for opposite reasons. This may well work against Obama's re-election hopes as people see the enormous NEGATIVE impact this bill has on the economy and the country.
I guess that this will become the biggest tax increase in history. Democrats get the credit.
All Hail Obama!
Ruler, Master, and Overlord of all you Republicans, Conservatives, and crazy-wacko Teabaggers for the next Four (yes! 4) very Long years.
Looks like Mitt Romney won't be the "Outsourcer and Chief" like he was hoping to be.
And no wonder, everybody and I mean everybody knew Romney was a poser and clown, who had Hidden Swiss bank accounts, phony off-shore Cyaman Island shell-companies, and only paid a 15% tax rate when the rest of us Working and Middle class are paying much Higher rates.
So everybody, Vote a straight Democratic ticket this November 2012 to make sure the Republican party ends up on the Dung Heap of History!
Faithwalker, if health care coverage "just makes you sick", rejoice in the fact that you can NO LONGER BE DENIED COVERAGE by the life-denying insurance industry. (Maybe someday they'll figure out a cure for people who don't recognize their own self-interest!)
OH I nearly forgot, Obamacare IS the primary reason for the anemic recovery in our economy, caused by the cloud of uncertainty as to what affect this bill would have on companies. Well that uncertainty will slowly give way to abject pessimism as the reality of how it impacts employers is felt. Its no longer a matter of if our economy slips back into recession, now its just how deep and how long it will last.
WELL!!! hold on over the cliff we go.
I suppose you are also against mandatory liability auto insurance. And I know the argument; "auto insurance isn't mandatory, because you don't have to have it if you don't drive." The problem with that line of thinking is that you can choose not to drive and thereby choose not to purchase auto insurance. You cannot choose to not get sick.
The individual mandate, once lauded by Republicans as the only true way to fix the health care system (before it became more politically viable to decry it), is one of only two ways to ensure a control on costs caused by the uninsured going to get treatment and then not paying; costs that medical providers shift to other patients in the form of increase procedural costs, which increases the overall cost of healthcare for those that do pay.
The other option is to allow for the refusal of treatment if you do not have or cannot provide proof of insurance. That would have to apply to emergency care as well. So, without an individual mandate, if you get rushed to the hospital with a dire emergency, forget your insurance card, and don't have a big wad of cash to pay for the treatment, they can leave you to die in the lobby.
So, pick your poison; everyone has to have insurance to cover illness and injury treatment, medical providers can leave you to die because you misplaced your insurance card, or the people who actually pay for coverage now covers the cost of treating people that don't. A, B, or C. Your choice.
I prefer mandatory coverage.
Hah! Hah! Let me guess!
Our wannabe "Outsourcer and Chief" Mitt romney is Now, as of Today, for Universal health Care, before he was Against "it" for this whole Election cyle, before he was for "it" in Massachusetts.
What a phony, what a poser, what a clown!
Hidden Swiss Bank accounts, off-shore Cayman Island Tax Havens, and what little money he did report to the IRS, he paid only a 15% tax rate, while us hard-working and middle-class folks were paying a Much Higher rate. That's Not just wrong, that's sick.
Let's make sure the Party of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, haliburton, Blackwater, etc. etc. Ends up on the "Dung Heap of History" by Voting a straight Democratic ticket this November 2012.
I couldn't agree more with RevLucifer. Well said. It's amazing what Republicans think. Also, the things they're concerned with have nothing to do with the mandate and everything to do with the operations of the insurance companies. It's either mental gymnastics, confusion, or just pure ignorance.
Thank you,
I try very hard to make sure that I present a well reasoned argument to support my positions on here. I don't like to simply spout talking points. The fact is, with the exception of the individual mandate, the public overwhelmingly supports what the Affordable Care Act does. And the problem with the individual mandate can be simply attributed to the natural aversion to be told that you *have* to do something. As humans, we prefer to *choose* to do things.
Everything that the Republicans say is wrong with the ACA are already inherent in the system; "death panels" already exist within the insurance companies, who decide what treatments they will cover and what treatments they won't. Healthcare costs are increasing faster than inflation, and faster than any nation that has universal coverage.
We currently spend more per capita on healthcare than any other nation in the world, and rank rather low in quality of care. Why does everyone have to be afraid of trying something that has been shown to lower costs and improve quality of care? And why do we have to toss around "socialism" like some kind of verbal grenade? I don't believe in having a fully socialist society, but once you stop having a seizure everytime someone mentions the word, and start to actually look at it objectively, you will realize that there are some concepts in socialism that are very good for society as a whole, and that can be easily incorporated into our capitalist society without bringing about the apocalypse.
Get a grip on reality and don't freak out about things just because a politician says you should.
Everyone grow up!! it's not the end of the world.
This is the SAME program Republicans wanted in place and talked about for years, but all of a sudden since Obama has been in office, they don't support it anymore. It's ridiculous, and if they think Americans don't see and understand that FACT they are delusional.
I really hope that it is affordable cause i work pt n dont make 10,000 a year if not i am screwed
I suppose you are also against mandatory liability auto insurance. And I know the argument; "auto insurance isn't mandatory, because you don't have to have it if you don't drive." The problem with that line of thinking is that you can choose not to drive and thereby choose not to purchase auto insurance. You cannot choose to not get sick."
Hey Rev, big difference here. Now think about this. One is a State law, the other a Federal law. Get the picture now?
"I couldn't agree more with RevLucifer. Well said. It's amazing what Republicans think. Also, the things they're concerned with have nothing to do with the mandate and everything to do with the operations of the insurance companies. It's either mental gymnastics, confusion, or just pure ignorance"
StateAtty, when you agree with someone who doesn't know what they are talking about, where does that place your ignorance level? The problem in any field today, is that most are money oriented. Years ago, doctors never placed money before treatment, and any doctor who did, was not in the field for very long after. It should still be that way today. Any doctor, or even hospital that refuses treatment to anyone, should not be allowed to keep a license. It stops being about humanity when you place a dollar value on a life, and the medical treatment of said life.
With car insurance, you will find that in some states, as long as you can show that you can pay for damages, you don't need to buy insurance. Not with this Federal Health Care law. You get taxed for it if you don't buy what they feel that you need to have. Do the states that allow you to pay out of pocket for damages if you have no insurance, tax those people for not having insurance? No they don't, and they don't force you to buy it, as the Feds will do with Health Care.
Party line stances and political rhetoric, you gotta love it. NOT!
Oh My!
You want an "instant reaction" look at the stock market - down 150+ and falling... a "victory" for one man's ego (Obama) a serious blow to the U.S. economy, and freedom in general, when we are already on our knees.
Wow, us Socialists, I mean us Dems, are now raelly moving quick towards our Socialist Utopia, in the land you Conservatives and Republicans, once call America. Viva la France!
I can't wait for Obama to now take away all your guns, stack the Supreme Court with as many Socialists and Commies as he can, and issue those cute little Islamic prayer rugs to all you Republicans, Conservatives, and crazy-wacko Teabaggers, and make you Mitt Romney supporters kneel and pray to Mecca, every morning.
ps. you Cons were right about one thing, Obama was really born in Kenya! Hah! Hah! too Late now. He's In for another four Years.
Have you ever heard of a "self-fulfilling prophecy"? The fact is, simply by repeating over and over that the Affordable Care Act is bad for the economy, a large swath of American citizens will accept that assertion as fact without bothering to look at the underlying facts. It's a common tactic on both sides of the aisle to repeat something over and over until it's believed as fact, and neither side ends up being particularly worried about what's true. So, we've had a few years of Republicans running around in fits, shouting from the moutaintops that Obamacare is going to ruin the country's economy, and it's no wonder that quite a few people overreact, either because they are uninformed about the truth, or because they are beholden to the Republican party.
Sad day for affordable health care!
We have not had "affordable health care" in this country for many, many years - just ask anyone who's trying to pay for an independent insurance policy. I'm thrilled that insurance companies can no longer deny coverage for pre-existing conditons, young adults can remain insured under their parents policies, etc.
Happy day! I read the Wrong Headline that CNN had posted before MSNBC had anything in "print."
Having been in the health insurance business for over 40 years, I can tell you that this is the only chance affordable health care has!
The larger the group of uninsureds becomes, the greater the problem becomes.
The costs are shifted to those of us who do pay and the very ill people who utilize the most services not only pay for their care but the larger share of the uninsured.
That is unaffordable and unfair to those suffering major illnesses!
You can be sad all you want, but those kids that now have coverage, and in 2014 when the rest of us will be able to get coverage far outweighs your heavily politicized concern. Romney put together a great health care system. Glad we get to keep it.
Sad day for the big insurance carriers and their powerful lobbies with a stranglehold on politicians....mostly Repubs. Happy day for Americans especially the poor, the children of the poor and single parent households. Change is imminent and President Obama promised "Yes we can"...and we did!
@Dennis: Your last sentence made my day. Thank you! LOVE IT!
WeAreInTrouble27, your right.. they can't deny.. but they now have an excuse to raise ALL the rates. Think it wasn't affordable before?
And Newsflash... you are now legally required to have Health Insurance that only the Government deems appropriate!! In other words, if the carrier isn't on their list, they don't count.
Name one, just ONE government run, endorced program that has maintained at least 10 years of success?... JUST ONE??!!?? Now we are letting them control our Healthcare!!
Yes, I agree with you! I am trilled that insurance companies can no longer get rich off of poor & middle class Americans. It is long overdue for affordable insurance in America. Now they can't use pre-existing conditions excuse with those who are sick and really need the coverage. HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!!
Good for Obama, his Socialistic / Marxist motives are coming into full bloom. Next he will have his
brown shirted thugs marching down city streets. Sad day for America , we are now another step to total bankruptcy as are Spain, Greece, Portugal and most of the rest of Europe. Enjoy it Liberals.
well Im so glad that I will be working to give more to the people that dont, I know of people that have taken and used the system for everything and to no prevail, all I see is that I as a working middle class person will have to give up more. did any one even think about who in the hell is going to pay forr this!!!! taxed to the max already and they still want more. are the senate and congress willing to pay for there issurance with out the price cut that the tax payers pay, or all your state and federal employees??????
And boom goes the dynamite…
Decision Day was in March 2010... everything else is just whining.
Sounds like 4 of the Justices whined about Obamacare and were sat in the corner.
One of those Judges helped write it... nice "conflict of interest". Wonder how much Citicorp and AIG paid for enough support.
Louis - "4 of the Justices whined about Obamacare and were sat in the corner."
Actually they were standing up for the MAJORITY of American citizens, who have also been "sat in the corner" by Obama. Wonder how they'll vote this fall?
The problem with your "majority" claim is that if you leave out the fact that it's part of Obamacare, the majority of Americans like every part of the Affordable Care Act, with the notable exception of the individual mandate. But as I said above, the only other options besides the individual mandate are to allow patients to die if they can't provide proof of coverage (not because they don't have coverage, but because they can't prove they have coverage), or to continue to allow those that pay for healthcare to cover the costs of those that don't.
And the bulk of the problem with the individual mandate comes from the fact that people hate being told they have to do something, even if it's in their best interest.
I guess O isn't as dumb as we think, ok now that this is out of the way lets move on to fixing the economy.
The economy is headed in the right direction. What we need is more liquidity. Too bad so many of the wealthy are just sitting on the money, not letting it get back into the system.
To fix the economy you need to get the GOP to start thinking of the people out of work, instead of only trying to put Obama out of work. They have to drop the "it's better to have one person out of work than to have millions get work"..
Look at the stock markets reaction... the economy just took a serious hit, and it is not because of Europe or whatever other excuse the liberal media tries to assign to it.
Yes Dennis, we are waiting for you to put all of your skin in the game first. Be a good leader and set a good example for the rest. When you are bankrupt I am sure that the Obama government will bail you out.
I wonder, if all the folks that keep slamming the Affordable Health Care Act, have actually read over the bill? I have and their is not one item in the bill that is bad for the American people. Their is so much reteric and lies that the GOP spout continuously, that people are so used to hearing the lies they believe them. Just read what is in the bill before you decide if you like it or not. Thank God the bios Supreme Court upheld the bill.
Put that in your Tea-Party pipe and smoke it!
Obama 2012!
TKS, I totally agree! On the face of it, healthcare regardless of which option you pick, will always run in the red because of the enormous costs of advancing technology and research and development. Consequently, the Teapartys, smoke in mirror rhetoric about purchasing healthcare across state lines has been proven to be what it really is "poppycock". It would have been a zero sum game. You do not now have government health insurance. What we have is private insurance with government oversight and government cost controls. Consequently insurance companies can no longer wild on you. The only other option would have been single payer, which, would have been totally government controlled. We took the insurance lobbyists down. They are the largest cash institutions in the world. This is a good thing!
A sad day for the people of this country to be put under the yoke of the government
Surely you jest! Think about how government works....you pledge allegiance; government keeps you safe...think draft; seatbelt laws, etc. You want no government, you have chaos.
John, it's your government, or did you forget that? Americans created it, and Americans benefit from what it does.
John, it's your government, or did you forget that? Americans created it, and Americans benefit from what it does.
This is going to hurt the little people all that much more. How are we to live in this economy? Saying that we have to pay additonal taxes if we do not have health insurance when mostof us can not afford to pay for healthcare insurance. It come down to a choice for a lot of us either we eat and try to make ends meet, buy insurance or be penalized
If yo do not have health insurance, what do you do when you get sick?
With no insurance you amke arrangements with the hospital and doctors. I have been paying on a bill for 1 1/2 years now.
Yes it's going to hurt the little people extremely...if you had Medicare which seems to work effectively for many people ..look out...that is going away and your going to wish you never had supported Obama healthcare....what was once good will no longer be good. In order to get good healthcare you'll have to be rich...you don't know what your in for....plus Dr.s will be bailing....good luck everyone....try and keep yourself healthy
The majority of people in this country can not afford health insurance - either their job does not provide the option at an affordable rate - or health care is just not offered. Imagine making $30-$35K a year - supporting your family - in this economy there is no $$ left to pay for healthcare. When you don't have health care - you do not go to the Dr. Even if you should.
Amen Cindy! Last year I lost my job,and at 55 years of age, it took 6 mths to find another (I was lucky) but the job only barely pays my bills. This does not include groceries or gas. There is NO extra income for things like luxuries (movies, dinners out, new clothes). I had the opportunity to get health insurance with the new job, but it would cost me nearly 1/3 of my paycheck a month in premiums....so that would mean no electricity. So now I have to find a way to pay anyway???? How about fixing the economy so I can get a decent job!
Okay, Cindy, but what do you do when you're diagnosed with a long term, expensive illness, like cancer, or diabietes (I know I spelled that wrong, but I don't want to look it up now), or if you have some sort of horrific accident that requires an extended hospital stay? How do you make arrangements to pay half a million dollars in medical costs? If you can't pay all that bill, those costs get shifted over to the people who do have insurance by increasing the cost of services for everyone. That increases the cost of insurance, which is why we're in the mess we're in right now.
My only problem with the ruling is that they struck down the Medicare clause, which would make it available to more people in low income situations, like yourself. I'm constantly amazed at how the Republicans can so consistently make people hate things that are in their best interest overall.
Cindy, if you meet certain income guidelines, the Government will give you subsidies to help you offset the costs of your health care coverage, and if your income goes below a certain level, you will then be able to tap into the expanded Medicaid funds that are also part of The Affordable Health Care Act. Our President is trying to look out for all Americans, not just those at the top of the income scale.
well i have been a demacrat but i will change to republican asap OBAMA JUST KILLED HIS reelection hopefull
Yeah....upholding a law that would insure every man, woman and child was the last straw! I can't take it anymore.....I'm out! (sarcasm)
Obama 2012
Covering millions of children with health insurance who those companies had been denying previously will allow weaker children to survive childhood that would otherwise. This will destroy America because we need those weakened children to die! Right Edward? That's exactly what you think, isn't it?
I am not saying we do not need universal health care in this country, I just still fail to see how forcing the public to buy a product from a private company, which is what this essentially does, can be considered constitutional. I would understand if we paid extra taxes and the government doled out the money to the doctors, which is what other countries with this type of thing do, but that is not what ours does. It forces you to buy a product.
Consider it a first step. Health care for profit is morally wrong. In addition, what we have now is sick care not health care. Maybe we can now begin to move toward preventative care for all.
Healthcare for profit is morally wrong?? What incentive do doctors have for going to school for 12 years? If they wanted to do it for free they could volunteer, but let's face it, many do it because they want to help people AND it is financially rewarding.
Why do you believe that doctors need financially rewarding "incentive" to choose medicine as a career path? It wasn't always so lucrative - that's a fairly recent post-WWII thing. They used to do it because they were interested in the field and/or so their parents got bragging rights.
Until recently, being a medical doctor wasn't about profit; it was about scientific interest, prestige, and social status. You could make a decent living, and live well at that, but you wouldn't end up being wealthy. You could, however, be assured of getting invitations to all the big social gatherings, and would have the respect of the community.
But, I don't think that Carol was specifically referring to doctor's making a profit. Instead, the moral issue is when you have a health insurance company who has the inherent conflict of paying for as little medical care as possible to increase profits, and to provide you with quality healthcare. As we've seen time and again from corporations throughout the world, profit trumps quality.
That's why I was so amused by people so worried that the government will be setting up groups of people to decide whether or not you're valuable enough to pay for your medical care; the insurance companies already do that. That's why you have to accept the treatment your insurance will pay for instead of the treatment your doctor recommends. I know plenty of people who have insurance that refuses to cover their prescription costs because the generics (which have slightly different formulations, and so are not exact copies of name brand medications) are not sufficient to treat their illness. So they have to choose between paying completely out of pocket for an expensive treatment that will help, getting the insurance to pay for a treatment that won't help, or getting no treatment at all.
All that said, any doctor who gets into medicine to just to make money is not a doctor I'd like to visit. They would be more concerned with padding their bill with unnecessary tests rather than finding an effective treatment for whatever ails me.
It now becoems imperative that Romney win by a landslide. The people of this country will not be shackled and chained to a socialist society.
Better a socialist society than a corporate one, where the Republicans have been taking us. And what Teabaggers and Republicans falsely call socialism is actually rule by the people, what our country was founded on, and which still exists, barely, in our Constitution. So a victory for the people, and a loss for the corporations. No wonder you and the right-wingers are furious.
Oh honey: Romney passed universal health-care in MA and was pro-choice for a long time before he decided he needed to look conservative in the last couple of years to get his campaign going.
Looks like us Socialists, Marxists and Commies, excuse me I mean us Dems, are quickly realizing our Socialist Utopia dream in the land you Republicans, Conservatives, and crazy-wacko Teabaggers, once called America.
Looks like Mitt Romney won't fullfill his dream of being the "Outsourcer and Chief". Too bad. How sad. I'm glad.
What we need to do now, is to make sure everybody, and I mean everbody Votes a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012,
so that the Republican Party, the party of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Haliburton, Karl Rove, and Blackwater, did I mention Karl Rove, end up on the "Dung Heap of History" where they all belong.
Yeah! Viva la France!
Am I the only person tired of hearing people toss around "socialist" like they're saying "pedophile"? "Oh, he's a 'socialist'". Years upon years of hate-mongering has trained people to equate "socialist" with "Nazi", and with "communist", which is the code word for "Cold-War era Russia". Socialism is a political system that can be corrupted and abused just like capitalism, our current system. What people don't realize, however, is that socialism is not an inherently evil idea.
In fact, in a way, we've already had a "socialist" healthcare system this whole time. If you go to the ER because you need treatment, they cannot turn you away if they accept Medicare or Medicaid, even if you have no insurance or cannot pay. The Affordable Care Act is actually a step *away* from socialism, in that it requires everyone to take responsibility for their own healthcare costs by purcahsing insurance, or paying a penalty/tax to help cover those expenses. Now, if you wanted to get *more* socialist, then we could have government run, single-payer healthcare, where everyone is guaranteed coverage, and the costs of the coverage are included in our federal tax bill in some way. The only way our system could get less socialist would be if we allowed all hospitals to turn people away if they couldn't provide proof of coverage or a big wad of cash to cover the cost of their care. Forget your insurance card, and they can let you die in the lobby. Now, I don't want that system.
this country has turned into a dictatorship wow isn't that what we have been at war for 10 plus years to stop!!!!! so know we are a dictatorship now what's next ???
If you are looking for a solid future investment, look at building a Burka factory. Our American Citizens that are female will have only one option. Either submit and wear Burkas or die.
America is now a Socialist/Muslim country on the verge of exploding.
It's now not know. Your mind has been dictated to, but, this country is NOT a dictatorship! Edward-1037189
I suppose that you prefer "Christian Biblical Law" to "Sharia Law"? I see no difference. The Evangelical Christians on the right would prefer that they get a permanent stranglehold on the government (much like a dictatorship) so that they can enact laws that adhere to their prefered moral compass.
Beyond that, "socialism" is not the obscene word that you keep trying to use it as. As the put it in The Princess Bride, "That word you keep saying; I do not think it means what you think it means." Studies show that people in socialist countries tend to be happier in their lives. In fact, Denmark and Sweden, two of the most socialist countries in the world, with two of the highest income tax rates in the world, have citizens that consistently self-report as two of the happiest populations in the world.
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Wow I can now afford to live a few more years my diabetic meds will be affordable sorry rich people your stuck with me
All you "yoke of the government nuts".... either the government or the insurance companies. Me... I'll take the government and you know what? So do all the VA benefit people and the Medicare people. Now GOP and Romney you'll have to figure out how to work with it and maybe win an election of goals rather than "sink Obama"... I'm still willing to vote GOP but give me a reason "other than you hate Obama"...
Kevin, read some of the unbiased literature out there about who's doing what. Obama has consistently tried to do good things for this country, but the republicans only "fix" is to defeat him. I watched the entire repub debates and the only guy that made any sense whatsoever was Ron Paul. If you want the corporations to have even more freedom and even less taxes, go ahead and vote for Romney. I say 99% of us are all in the same boat, I don't want one of the multi-millionaires that got there by out-sourcing our jobs to be running my country.
Indeed, I'm amazed at how the Republicans can do everything they can to break everything Obama is trying to do, and then blame him when nothing works the way it should, and they get the the public to believe that. It's been like this for years; the Republicans bend over backwards to make sure that everything the government does is so watered down or without teeth that it basically means nothing, and then run on the platform that government can't do anything right.
I liken it to working for a car company, and working hard to design the worst car possible, and then going to the public and saying, "See, I told you that we make crappy cars".
Government is broken because Republican's work very hard to make it that way, and then get elected in to make government smaller because it can't do anything right. They have the only job where you get celebrated for fouling everything up, and you keep getting sent back to foul it up more.
This is going to affect majority of Latinos, typically they do not buy health insurance, the reason being they keep good health. Now they have to caugh-up extra money to either to buy insurance or penalty.
Not true according to reports I hear. Court upheld constitutionality of 'mandate' portion under the taxability provisions BUT it's reported there are no penalties for not paying a tax if levied - thus, no enforcability. So, likely emergency rooms will still support those who feel they'll never get sick or be injured - even if someone pushes them onto the subway tracks!
Latinos keep good health? Not in Northern VA where they are constantly in the ER with no papers 'no speaka english' when it comes time to discuss who will pay and how, and never paying their bills when they come due. I can tell you this from the experience of 5 years of work in ER admitting in two different hospitals.
Ah yes, socialism. Who needs self reliance anymore, just let big brother take care of you from cradle to grave. Why work? Just let those who are self reliant do the work for you and live off the taxes they have to pay. Stay home in your subsidized housing and collect welfare...The American Dream!
The "socialist" argument again. I'll direct you to my post above for a rebuttal, but let me summate in case you don't want to go back. We already have a socialist medical system. If you go to the ER, you get treated, and if you can't or don't pay, that cost is shifted to the paying public. This act forces personal responsibility, making that system *less* socialist. To get more socialist, we need single-payer.
I had the option to either pay for the company offered insurance or go with out, I chose to go with out. Had a serious diving accident in which I blew out my eye socket. I looked like Frankenstien afterwards. I was offered to be transfered to a public hospital or stay and pay for it myself. I declined because I wanted quality care of the hospital I was in. So $14,000 later I am working two jobs and sacrificing the bar scene and other fun stuff my peers were enjoying to meet my financial obligations. Yeah, their are a lot of vampires that suck off of the gov't welfare. But I am not one of them. And as aNavy Vet, I have a problem with the US Constitution being disregarded to meet political agenda. Being forced to buy something I do not want takes away my freedom of self determination...I do not care what waiste of words they use to justify it otherwise. "When in the course of human events..."
Jon, unfortunately, you are the exception rather than the rule. If people without health insurance covered their medical expenses like that, then we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Unfortunately, we cannot rely on people to take care of their responsibilities on their own as a general rule. How many people would pay their taxes if there was no penalty for not paying them? How many people would buy auto insurance if they weren't forced to under threat of fines and other penalties? Instead, we must compel them to be responsible with legislation.
Is that your idea of government? Use of threats to achieve your goals. Sounds more like the KGB to me. Maybe you're too young to understand that. Why do we even bother to have a constitution then if the so called rights it guarantees can be superseded by those who disagree with it? Even though you totally avoided any constitutionality of the subject. But then to a socialist, the US constitution is an obstruction to their goals.
Amazing the different reactions to saving lives in this country after watching someone dear to me wither away from cancer due to no insurance.
This is a truly Great Landmark decision for us all!!!
What a deal! You're fined if you don't have insurance, taxed on it if you do. Sounds like a LOSE/LOSE proposition to me.
Glad for this result. Not sure what CNN is saying . It was not adequately publicized which, in my view is the ONLY reason people seem to say the majority are against it. Good grief!! In my view this is a great step ahead for us here in the USA. R. Galli, Edison, NJ
I believe that all Legal US citizens should have the same Health care coverage and Retirement that congress and Senate has. Enough of the us vs them.
Oh, I forgot, Congressional Members and White House Members don't have ObamaCare. They have their own special brand of health insurance which is super better than the rest of us American Citizens and illegals.

The Philosophy of Sport - 9th July, 2012
09 July 2012 , 9:18 PM by Rebecca Levingston
This week, our 'Philosophy of Sport' panellists pondered a few Olympic questions, including the issue of Oscar Pistorius, a South African runner who has two prosthetic legs, being selected for the main Olympics in the 4 x 400m relay, despite the Int Assoc of Athletics Federations trying to prevent him running...is that fair? Listen to what the panel thought on this topic, and more...

Johnny Ringo S1 Ep05 The Hunters
Ex-gunfighter Johnny Ringo is now the sheriff of a small Western town, and attempts to keep the peace with the aid of his deputy, Cully, and his girl, Laura Thomas.
This western series was short-lived ,but was well-produced by the great Aaron Spelling.
Johnny Ringo
Season 1 Ep. 5: The Hunters
Ringo discovers that guards from a state prison hunt down escaped convicts with the intention of killing them rather than capture them.
Johnny Ringo,the famous gunslinger becomes the Sheriff of Velardi,Arizona.All those aspiring to become the"Fastest Gun In The West" descend upon Velardi to test themselves against the great Johnny Ringo,who,it turns out is not interested in that life anymore.
The show came out in the Fall of 1959 in the absolute heyday of the TV Western.I think it ranks amongst the Top 5 of the whole bunch.Like most Westerns in those days,it was dominated by the star:Don Durant.He may not have been the greatest actor of all-time,but he was perfect for this role.I think the latter episodes where Laura and Cason Thomas are gone,are a little weaker than the earlier ones.
The show might have gained by involving Laura a little more in the storylines.
One other thing we can't forget about "Johnny Ringo" is the fabulous theme song,sung by Don Durant himself,which ends every show.
Cast and Crew:
Don Durant, Mark Goddard and Karen Sharpe
Creator: Aaron Spelling
Production Company: Four Star Productions
Original Air Date: 1959
Audio & Video: Mono – Black & White

How bad (or good) is it to say something like, "We plan to exit via an IPO" on exit strategy to an angel investor?
I think it certainly is. If only 1 in 10 startups succeed and further, only 1 in 10 of those that are successful, are the wildly successful startups you know, your answer is that your exit strategy, the point at which they'll make return on their investment, has a likelihood of about 1%. Not only is such a strategy rather unlikely, but it doesn't reflect as well as it should on your understanding of your market. MUCH more likely is an acquisition (I'm not suggesting that should be your exit strategy answer either, I'm just painting a picture for you as to how to think about it). Your industry has existing corporate and enterprise players who you may consider competitors or potential partners. Those companies usually have the 2 things that make an acquisition of your company work: Deep pockets & an inability to innovate (as tends to happen as companies mature). So it is more likely that you will be wildly successful on your own and develop the industry credibility and reputation that enables you to IPO? The answer MAY be yes but it will still take 10+ years. OR is there LESS risk for the investors in your recognizing that in a much shorter time frame, your product will be developed and the market recognized such that a big name in the space will pick it up for a 10x return? | |||
Good and bad. Good that you are willing to create a company that is amicable to an exit, bad that you are defining IPO as the approach. Following Pauls answer, many investor backed companies today don't get as far as an IPO - more likely they are M&A candidates. I'm assuming that you are an early stage startup (apologies if I am wrong). Using Steven Blanks definition, "a startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model." Once you find that model, then you scale & work on M&A / IPO efforts. Find the model first, then figure out how to cash out. ;) | |||||||||

Chapter VII
property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two thousand a year, which unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed, in default of heirs-male, on a distant relation; and their mothers fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and had left her four thousand pounds.
She had a sister married to a Mr. Philips, who had been a clerk to their father, and succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in London, in a respectable line of trade.
The village of Longbourn was only one mile from f Meryton; a most convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt, and to a milliners shop just over the way. The two youngest of the family, Catherine and Lydia, were particularly frequent in these attentions: their minds were more vacant than their sister; and when nothing better offered, a walk to Meryton was necessary to amuse their morning hours and furnish conversation for the evening; and, however bare of news the country in general might be, they always contrived to learn some from their aunt. At present, indeed, they were well supplied both with news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the neighbourhood; it was to remain the whole winter, and Meryton was the headquarters.
Their visits to Mrs. Philips were now productive of the most interesting intelligence. Every day added something to their knowledge of the officers names and connections. Their lodgings were not long a secret, and at length they began to know the officers themselves. Mr. Philips visited them all, and this opened to his nieces a source of felicity unknown before. They could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr. Bingleys large fortune, the mention of which gave animation to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the regimentals of an ensign.
After listening one morning to their effusions on this subject, Mr. Bennet coolly observed,
From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced.
Catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect indifference, continued to express her admiration of Captain Carter, and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the next morning to London.
I am astonished, my dear, said Mrs. Bennet, that you should be so ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly of anybodys children, it should not be of my own, however.
If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it.
Yes; but as it happens, they are all of them very clever.
This is the only point, I flatter myself, on which we do not agree. I had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but I must so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly foolish.
My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of their father and mother. When they get to our age, I daresay they will not think about officers any more than we do. I remember the time when I liked a red coat myself very welland, indeed, so I do still at my heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year, should want one of my girls, I shall not say nay to him; and I thought Colonel Forster looked very becoming the other night at Sir Williams in his regimentals.
Mamma, cried Lydia, my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain Carter do not go so often to Miss Watsons as they did when they first came; she sees them now very often standing in Clarkes library.
Mrs. Bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with a note for Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and the servant waited for an answer. Mrs. Bennets eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was eagerly calling out, while her daughter read,
Well, Jane, who is it from? What is it about? What does he say? Well, Jane, make haste and tell us; make haste, my love.
It is from Miss Bingley, said Jane, and then read it aloud.
If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me, we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives; for a whole days tâte-à-tâte between two women can never end without a quarrel. Come as soon as you can on the receipt of this. My brother and the gentlemen are to dine with the officers.
Yours ever,
With the officers! cried Lydia: I wonder my aunt did not tell us of
Dining out, said Mrs. Bennet; that is very unlucky.
Can I have the carriage? said Jane.
No, my dear, you had better go on horseback, because it seems likely to rain; and then you must stay all night.
That would be a good scheme, said Elizabeth, if you were sure that they would not offer to send her home.
Oh, but the gentlemen will have Mr. Bingleys chaise to go to Meryton; and the Hursts have no horses to theirs.
I had much rather go in the coach.
But, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, I am sure. They are wanted in the farm, Mr. Bennet, are not they?
They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them.
But if you have got them to-day, said Elizabeth, my mothers purpose will be answered.
She did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses were engaged; Jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback, and her mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a bad day. Her hopes were answered; Jane had not been gone long before it rained hard. Her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was delighted. The rain continued the whole evening without intermission; Jane certainly could not come back.
This was a lucky idea of mine, indeed! said Mrs. Bennet, more than once, as if the credit of making it rain were all her own. Till the next morning, however, she was not aware of all the felicity of her contrivance. Breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from Netherfield brought the following note for Elizabeth:
I find myself very unwell this morning, which, I suppose, is to be imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. My kind friends will not hear of my returning home till I am better. They insist also on my seeing Mr. Jonestherefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been to meand, excepting a sore throat and a headache, there is not much the matter with me.
Yours, etc.
Well, my dear, said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note aloud, if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illnessif she should dieit would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders.
Oh, I am not at all afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling colds. She will be taken good care of. As long as she stays there, it is all very well. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage.
Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, determined to go to her though the carriage was not to be had: and as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative. She declared her resolution.
How can you be so silly, cried her mother, as to think of such a thing, in all this dirt! You will not be fit to be seen when you get there.
I shall be very fit to see Janewhich is all I want.
Is this a hint to me, Lizzy, said her father, to send for the horses?
No, indeed. I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing, when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner.
I admire the activity of your benevolence, observed Mary, but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.
We will go as far as Meryton with you, said Catherine and Lydia. Elizabeth accepted their company, and the three young ladies set off together.
If we make haste, said Lydia, as they walked along, # perhaps we may see something of Captain Carter, before he goes.
In Meryton they parted: the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one of the officers wives, and Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles, with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise.
She was shown into the breakfast parlour, where all but Jane were assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise. That she should have walked three miles so early in the day in such dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brothers manners there was something better than politenessthere was good-humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr. Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion and doubt as to the occasions justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was thinking only of his breakfast.
Her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. Miss Bennet had slept ill, and, though up, was very feverish, and not well enough to leave her room. Elizabeth was glad to be taken to her immediately; and Jane, who had only been withheld by the fear of giving alarm or inconvenience, from expressing in her note how much she longed for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance. She was not equal, however, to much conversation; and when Miss Bingley left them together, could attempt little beside expressions of gratitude for the extraordinary kindness she was treated with. Elizabeth silently attended her.
When breakfast was over, they were joined by the sisters; and Elizabeth began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and solicitude they showed for Jane. The apothecary came; and having examined his patient, said, as might be supposed, that she had caught a violent cold, and that they must endeavour to get the better of it; advised her to return to bed, and promised her some draughts. The advice was followed readily, for the feverish symptoms increased, and her head ached acutely. Elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment, nor were the other ladies often absent; the gentlemen being out, they had in fact nothing to do elsewhere.
When the clock struck three, Elizabeth felt that she must go, and very unwillingly said so. Miss Bingley offered her the carriage, and she only wanted a little pressing to accept it, when Jane testified such concern at parting with her that Miss Bingley was obliged to convert the offer of the chaise into an invitation to remain at Netherfield for the present. Elizabeth most thankfully consented, and a servant was despatched to Longbourn, to acquaint the family with her stay, and bring back a supply of clothes.

Fan Bing Bing for L'oreal: Dramatic Charcoal Smoke
Fan Bing Bing, to my recollection, was one of those Chinese actresses who played a supporting role in a famous TV series from about 10 years ago and never really took the spotlight anywhere.
Then, all of a sudden, she's everywhere in L'oreal's ads and displays as one of the latest spokespersons here in Asia. And how gorgeous does she look here?
To be honest, she doesn't exactly have the typical Asian features, but this is still a look that you can pull off even if you have mono-lids. (Aside from various Youtube gurus, Itsliz89.com is a recently-discovered blog I recommend if you want to see lots of tutorials for mono-lids!)
To recreate this, you simply need a quad or eye shadow trio that gives you:
1. Black or charcoal shade
2. Deep grey (take care this is not too silvery and bright)
4. A pearl or white
Then just make sure you cover your water line with black pencil and apply lots of black mascara.
For the lips and cheeks, just keep everything muted in a soft pink-nude and let the eyes take over!

How Is Fud's Training Going?
2 July 2004
With each week that passes now, we will be increasing the size of our free-flying family. Currently the show is based around raptors and parrots, but these are not the only bird species on this planet. In Australia alone we have over 500 different individual species. With this in mind, our family is now branching out with the introduction of Fud. Fud is a White-faced Heron who will be featured in this week's animal profile. He has proven to be a very fast learner, beginning his free flight career after less than three weeks training. We have also been busy hand-raising a Red-collared Lorikeet chick, and a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo chick who will also be flying free very quickly. You may remember Queto and Reo, the two young Macaws. They too are continuing their training, this week starting on their jesse work. It should not be long now until they do their first show.
Fud – White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)
Fud, or Fudley as he is also known, has been with us here at the Zoo for just under two years now and started his time down in the Wetland exhibit. These days due to this species being fiercely territorial and local to the area, Fud could no longer live in the open air Wetland exhibit. The resident wild herons did not take to sharing their space and set out to make life difficult for him, so he was moved into an off-display aviary where he became quite friendly towards staff. With this being a promising sign, Fud was allowed to grow his flight feathers back and join the free flight team. He now does a daily demonstration and enjoys nothing more than wading through the shallows of the Crocoseum's lovely heated pond and showing the public what White-faced Herons are all about.

If you're looking for healthy food, delicious snacks, or just great baked goods, this is a good place. It's a bit out of town, which keeps the crowds down and maintains a local atmosphere; it's definitely worth the couple mile trip!
If you're looking for healthy food, delicious snacks, or just great baked goods, this is a good place. It's a bit out of town, which keeps the crowds down and maintains a local atmosphere; it's definitely worth the couple mile trip!
Yes. This place is yummy. We had breakfast on the go(burrito and bread pudding) and it was still delicious as we ate the 2nd half of our portions 5 hours later! The birch syrup was awesome!
The Flying Squirrel is my favorite place to eat in Alaska. Period. I have yet to have a mediocre baked good or cup of coffee there. Everything is exceptional! Getting a cappuccino take a bit more time than in other coffee shops, but they grind the beans for each cup and froth the milk to a micro-foamed perfection, so it's... More
We stopped here on our way out of Talkeetna. We had wonderful baked french toast. The americano and chai were AWESOME. Family friendly. Health conscious. Will make a point to stop in the future!
This small, rustic bakery at mile 11 on the Talkeetna Highway is very good. All items are designed for those who try and maintain a healthy diet with whole grains and natural foods, many locally or home grown.
We bought some bread to accompany some stew for dinner. We had a chabiatta loaf as well as light rye. Both were excellent! Even a Talkeetna resident was impressed with the chabiatta. We did not have a chance to have a meal, but would eagerly try a meal based on the taste of the bread.
The bakery is located outside of town. Inside there is a warmth from the hearth and from the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. It was zucchini month, and it was in everything, including the chocolate zucchini cake they kindly turned into a birthday cake for our grandson.
We spent a couple days around Talkeetna were glad to get out of town. The one bright spot was breakfast at the Flying Squirrel. We had a couple of very tasty sandwiches, fine coffee, and took some excellent cookies for the road. This little place is definitely worth a stop.
We went in to get some coffee and lunch, the smell was devine! We ordered panini's to eat in with coffee, the coffee's came and we waited over half an hour for our meal. It wasn't busy with only a few other people coming in to get takeaways. It really shouldn't have taken that long to put some goodies in... More
Fresh, well prepared food, with an emphasis on local and organic sources, served in a friendly, local atmosphere. It's located away from the tourist rush and appears to be favorite of the local people.

Update 3/5/2013: I was checking in on one of the tech blogs I follow and found out that Abe of YugaTech has just recently fallen victim to this fraud. Read more about it here. I'm sure it's a large sum of money knowing the amount of traffic his blog gets. Surely, the people who are behind this are well aware of that fact.
AND I read this blog post from Pinoy Den. He's a recent victim too. This is very alarming and I hope Western Union finally takes action.
For now, I would suggest to use Unionbank to claim your Western Union earnings. As soon as you have the MTCN, you can call Unionbank right away.
As a full-time online money maker, I know for a fact how easy it is for money I earn over the internet to get stolen or disappear into thin air. So, imagine my shock and paranoia when I learned about a fellow blogger's experience with an alleged inside job in Western Union where she lost $6,267.97.
I'm saying alleged, but if you read the story, you'd think that's exactly what happened. I believe Western Union's money transfer is secure. However, it's the people who work for them that can be tempted to steal money from us. They abuse their power and access to get what they want without thinking about how they're going to affect the lives of others.
Western Union has been my go-to solution when I need to withdraw funds from my Google Adsense account or when my clients send me payments. I've trusted them for years, so I got a bit comfortable with using their services. I guess I'm not that concerned since I don't make that much monthly, but I still always claim my money the same day I received a notification that payment has been issued.
Jennifer Aspacio, the victim of the most recent Western Union issue, having used their service for years, was assured with the notion that her money will still be there once she returns from her Cambodia trip and pick it up. She was wrong. I am sharing with you her experience to hopefully warn you or let you know that these things happen, and we should keep an eye out everytime.
Dito ka na kung saan kampante kang makakarating ang perang pinadala mo. Para kampante ka, i-"Western Union" mo (Inside Job in Western Union)
That's one of the television ads in the Philippines of Western Union, the giant international money transfer facility that many people have learned to trust in sending money to their loved ones and one that is also being used by many individuals all over the world for their money transfer transactions.
The Western Union Mission Statement says: "We do business each day with absolute integrity, honesty and passion, partnering as a team to meet our consumers' needs."
So, is your money safe with Western Union? Are you sure it is a reliable money transfer facility? Please read on.
My daughters have received wedding cash gifts from friends and relatives in other countries using the Western Union money transfer facility, and because of that, I have so much trust in the facility. What's more, I also heard about people receiving remittances through this facility and they have expressed their satisfaction.
But more than three months ago, something very devastating happened that resulted in the erosion of my trust in Western Union. My eldest daughter was cheated out of her payout which she used to receive regularly through this facility. My daughter is a work from home mom and she earns by working using the internet. Every month, she would receive a notice from Google Adsense informing her that her payout was already sent to Western Union, and she then would go straight to the facility to claim the exact amount without any problem.
But three months ago, when Google sent her payout through Western Union, my daughter was out of the country (March 26-April 3, 2012). The amount ofUS$6,267.97 was sent to her through Western Union on March 27, 2012, and it would be available for pick up on March 28, 2012. So hours after she returned to the Philippines on April 3, 2012, she went straight to Western Union to pick up her money, but to her dismay, she was told by the teller that someone picked it up on March 30, 2012. She was in Cambodia on that day and there was no way that she could have claimed the payment.
Google uses a security feature that when my daughter would access her account, a security code is sent to her mobile device and that security code should be entered for access to be allowed. She would need to enter her security code whenever she logged in to her account. Having received no security code all the time that she was overseas because her phone was on roaming mode, it was not possible that her account was hacked. So it is a big possibility that there was some kind of an inside job within the Western Union branch here in the Philippines that apparently released her payout.
Even the Western Union representatives were convinced that my daughter was the rightful recipient because of all her proofs. But they insisted that that they could not give her the money because they are only answerable to Google because of the privity of contract issue.
Western Union representatives did not act immediately after my daughter told them about her case, but after she told them that she would make it her advocacy to reveal to the public her issue with them, it was only then that they promised to make an investigation.
Later, after a thorough investigation, Western Union admitted that they made a mistake in releasing the money to someone who was not the real Jennifer Aspacio, and that they had already returned the money to Google, and that my daughter should communicate with Google to resend the payout to her.
My daughter asked Western Union to provide her with a proof that they really returned the money to Google, but Western Union refused to give a proof, claiming that it was against their policy. My daughter has suffered much inconvenience, damage and prejudice, apart from mental anguish and serious anxiety. The amount that she was supposed to receive was not all for her indulgence. Much of that amount would go to pay for advertising campaign expenses as an internet marketer.
My daughter is the one who is supposed to write this blog, but she told me that she does not want to go through the mental anguish that she had gone through three months ago that resulted in many sleepless nights for her, and so I am compelled to do this for her.
The refusal of Western Union to give the money to my daughter in spite of the fact that it was already established that my daughter is the true legitimate recipient is an IMMORAL ACT. Why did they have to return the money to Google, when they could just simply give it to my daughter, and that would solve the problem? And what's more, Western Union refuses to give a proof that they indeed had returned the money to Google.
My daughter is a hard-working wife and mother, wanting only the best for her family. She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment from a giant company like Western Union.
You can read the original post here.
I've known Jennifer for over a year now. We see each other at events and having spoken with her many times, I know she's a very hardworking mom, a loving wife to her husband Jeff (who I've also met) and a very sweet lady. She's one of the beautiful women I've known, inside and out. She doesn't deserve this.
The truth is, NO ONE DESERVES THIS because we have put in our time and effort to earn a living over the internet. No one has the right to steal our hard-earned money. NO ONE. I hope that Western Union returns the money to Jen. I hope this gets resolved.
Even though this has occurred, I still trust Western Union. But, it's been tainted because of this. So, I hope they take this more seriously because there is a growing number of people like us who make money online and rely on their services. If this continues, it'll surely cause a dent on everyone's trust in them.
Do you use Western Union for receiving money you've earned online? How will this issue affect you? Or has it affected you already? Sound off at the comments section!
Watch out for my upcoming post on tips on keeping your money online secure. We never know how many thieves are out there to rob us of our earnings.

since there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate place to post this, and i couldn't find an email to mail the band/Cat directly -- I'll post it here.. please don't flame me too heavily.
first, when are GPN coming to the Detroit area? would love to see them!
second -- if GPN ever does come to the Detroit area, I'd like to extend an invitation.
I know Cat loves her '66 Fender Precision -- well..... I am the proud owner of a '66 Fender Jazz and I'd love to let her play it that night for the show and let her see just how much more articulate the '66 Jazz is .
(I also own a '66 Fender Mustang (and a lot of other non-'66s)).

I loved our room- two bedrooms with a living room and full kitchen. They even provide the plates and silverware! I was disappointed that I was unable to gain access to the wifi. They did send a maintenance worker and to try to fix it (not sure why) without success. The breakfast was amazing and our kids were all able to find something they loved! Overall […] a great stay.

"Worn & Tired"
While the location was where we needed to be, the room itself could use some serious updating. The furniture was very worn and the carpet heavily stained. I'm not sure if this was because we had our little lap dog with us and perhaps their pet friendly rooms are all like this one. Even though we were staying for 3 nights we were put in a room with a […] terrible location. One day the cleaning lady didn't show up until after 4pm and the next day she knocked on the door at 10am. The breakfast hours were good with lots of choices to suit every taste. The only reason we chose this hotel was because we wanted a kitchen. We had a stove with two small burners, a dishwasher, large fridge and microwave but not an oven. Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com

"getting a room"
I arrived with a reservation and was given a room key to 103. I opened the door and found a young man cleaning the carpet. All the furniture was up and not ready. I went back to the desk where the male manager? intervened and gave me another room "close to that one" 340.... this was on the far opposite end of the hotel. When I asked, I found out he […] thought I was someone else. Finally I did get a fairly nice, but somewhat run down room. The bed was very lumpy and the room itself, was at an entrance on the first floor and very noisy from all ends. I did not sleep at all. Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Expedia

"Fun Clean Will stay again"
We loved staying here! Enjoyed the pool and I loved how there was a living area and a bedroom separated by a door. The only complaint was that no one could give us a straight answer on when breakfast ended. :( The lady at the desk said 10am, the papers on the fridge says 9am, the papers the lady gave us at the desk says 10am, and the paper in the greeting […] book says 9am. Then at breakfast the lady started to put everything away at 9 and rudely told another customer that breakfast was over and he had missed it. The guy tried to explain that he had been told 10am but the lady wasn't listening and didn't care. By the way the breakfast was AWESOME. The toppings for the waffles were different and that was nice!

I stayed in a suite, which was very clean. There was a chair in the room that had obvious wear with cracks in the vinyl, but everything else was nice. The bed wasn't as comfortable as beds at other Marriots (with the memory foam) but was nicely decorated and had ample pillows. There was one flat screen in the bedroom and one in the living area with […] nice picture quality and a variety of channels to choose from. The appliances in the kitchen were modern and up-to-date and all working well. Both the pool and whirlpool were nice and the continental breakfast was to die for! They served a free, light dinner on Monday nights, which I didn't partake of, but was nice to offer! Right behind the hotel is a river and a path to walk on that takes you under the streets. It was very nice. Overall a great stay! Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Expedia

Hotel was typical of a Residence Inn. It had a decent, buffet style, hot breakfast. Our room was close to the river & that was nice.

From sexperts, TOC staffers, burlesque performers, adult toy store owners and average readers, too.
Swing your troubles away. Get a Love Swing ($179 at loveswing.com)! They are affordable and fun, and any problem you might have—back, knees, too tired—is poof! Gone! It's the closest experience to zero-gravity space sex you will get. —Elisa Purls, burlesque performer and instructor (elisapurls.com)
Repurpose boring furniture. It was just your average, gray desk chair on wheels—until I sat straddling my boyfriend's lap, one leg on each arm and dangling down off the back. The leverage I got from gripping the chair's back, combined with the ability to kick my legs to increase my body's rocking momentum on top of him, was spectacular. Plus, the position gave me the freedom to grind my clit against his pelvic bone while he enjoyed face-level access to my breasts. It was a sad day when "Happy Fun Chair" finally broke down and had to be wheeled out to the trash. Rest in peace, old friend. —female reader, Bucktown
Give chase. Chase after your lover, down the block, to the park, jump over bushes, climb trees…run all over the place and get that blood pumping. If you catch him/her, make out, wrestle or switch roles. You can even come up with rules and make a real game out of it. —EP
Get "Liberated." If you've ever stacked pillows under your partner or tried other ways of raising her pelvis during oral sex, try a Liberator Wedge cushion (liberator.com; $185–$245, depending on size). This line of sex furniture covers just about every shape, size and proclivity you might dream up, but for fans of oral, the Wedge is a must-try. Placed underneath the receiver's butt and lower back, it elevates the pelvis to a more face-friendly level. My partner swears she comes faster and harder this way. (Bonus: This same angle also provides awesome penetration potential and G-spot access during intercourse.) The Wedge won't make you better at performing oral, but it will keep you from getting a crick in your neck while you hone your technique. —male reader, Berwyn
Go the quick and easy route. Quickies are a nice, low-tech, low-budget way to spice things up. And, if done right, you can take pride in your newly acquired multitasking skill. Dinner simmering on the stove top for another ten minutes? Prop her up on the counter and kneel down for a little appetizer. And fellas: If your lady has a walk-in closet and she's standing in her cute little undies, looking for something to wear…well, do you really need me to spell this one out for you? —Red Hot Annie, Vaudezilla burlesque (vaudezilla.com)
