I bought a Brawl Stick ( updated electronics compared to madcatz SE ) that already has modded sanwa stick + sanwa buttons inside, right here on SRK for the same price as sanwa parts by themselves. Very happy with my purchase.
Now for the noob question. There's sort of a sticky substance on top of 2 buttons + on part of the usb cord. It's not a big deal, button is still ultra-responsive and works fine. Just wondering if it's safe to use a wet tissue to scrub off the sticky stuff on the buttons without removing them. Or do I really need to open the case, remove the buttons and clean them outside? I'm not going to bother cleaning the cord since I don't need to touch that part anyway.
Haha I'm sort of a germophobe but I don't think the sticky substance is biological.
Nice, thanks for the thorough tips. If it's not broken, don't fix it and I'm glad that it's a safe and easy wipe, no disassembly required.
Why aren' t arcade sticks dual compatible with both PS3 and Xbox? Am I going to have to buy a whole nother stick just to play at certain tournaments just because I don' t have both consoles?
Thanks.Ill check those out.
Thanks.Ill check those out.
And Im not living hand to mouth lol, I just meant I dont have loot to be dropping 100+ bucks on a controller, especially when Im fairly new to them you know? Like I said I used the Tekken 6 one from I think Hori for a while and it seemed pretty good... Dont take offense when I say this, I just cant think of a better way to word it at the moment, but are you speaking as like, a stick snob or is anything less than $150 really garbage? Id be stoked to get even a year or 2 out of it just to get myself re aquianted with arcade style playing. Again, sorry if that sounded dickish, I just know alot of guys say anything less than the best is a waste, which is fine and I respect that, but it cant really be true... Theres gotta be a practical jumping off point, right?
Uhhh...you're not really playing competitively if you're not gonna go as far as you can go at some point. Well, whatever. The two topics above basically cover what you want to know, and it's really down to your preferences. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into much detail about Korean products on the first page of those topics. The easiest option (probably the most affordable too) is the Omni, but since you're a Tekken player at heart, I don't know if I should recommend Japanese or Korean parts. Apparently, Korean sticks are generally not as loose as Japanese ones are and the buttons require a bit more pressure (as in if you feather buttons, the risk of accidental presses goes down.) Korean sticks generally don't use square gates either afaik. This can be nice for non-fighter use, especially shmups (personally, I can't stand the default TE parts with Mushihime-sama Futari on 360.)
More of an issue with that though is that the Omni is basically fucking awesome compared to buying two TEs and modding them yourself, and I don't see it in stock anywhere.
just bought a madcatz streetfighter IV stick for 75$ is that good for a beginner stick player???
Famous last words from anyone who's ever touched toxic substances. lol
Cleaning a stick is a pretty simple process. Now if your buttons feel sticky and unresponsive, THEN you might want to consider opening your case, taking apart your buttons, cleaning it, and possily adding dialectric grease. Also an easy proceed, but it's not necessary, then don't bother. Keep it simple.
I have a question, when you move your character from back, forward, dash , jump , crouch block, qcf, hcb, 360 etc
do you move the stick all the way to the left then all the way to the right etc etc, as if you are moving the stick in the air... or do you just follow the edges of the gate throughout your motions ??
I feel it is very hard to to move the stick without touching the edges...
What do top players do ?
I know this may be a stupid question and may be off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread just to ask one question. If at a tournament they say the game I want to play is on xbox 360 and I have an xbox pad already I wouldn't need a converter of any sorts will I?
I don't believe it will. Check the SE modding guide in the tech talk stickies.
Not really. Arcade sticks are all very similar in that the motions you learn on one will work very well on another type of arcade stick, as long as the joystick and button setup is the same (which they are). You might have to adapt to how sensitive the joystick and buttons react, especially if you're used to lower quality sticks that require a bit more force and effort, but it's easy to adjust to that within a few hours or a few days of practicing.Avaritia Aurous said:Ok so I already read at the start that the Tekken 6 stick is terrible, however I've been using it for over a year and I prefer it by far compared to a controller.
However what my actual question is, am I probably going to have to relearn stick if I end up getting a good one?
Emanuelb said:I have a question about button sensitivity - I understand american buttons are less sensitive, while japanese parts are more sensitive. What I don't understand, is what sticks have japanese parts and what american ones. For example, Madcatz Soul calibur TE stick what kind of parts has ? in the item description it says sanwa parts - that means japanese or american ? (sounds japanese, but...).
I'm interested in a stick with more sensitive buttons - right now I have a tekken 6 wireless stick (yeah, cheap one, but it's ok), and I wonder how are the buttons compared to a Soul calibur TE stick. Thanks.
Japanese & Korean parts are mainly what you will come across in the higher end sticks.
The PDP Mortal Kombat stick has custom Happ parts which are American, but other than those and IL, there aren't many high quality, if any, American parts companies still around.
Because you need to practice doing the shoryuken motion. Simply switching to an arcade stick won't instantaneously make your execution better. Much like being proficient at playing a musical instrument, you'll just have to sit down and practice doing the SRK motions from both 1p and 2p side until you can do it consistently in training with at least 90% accuracy. If you can pull that off, then it'll make it much easier trying to do it during a live match.DJPlace said:i got a question about this arcade sticks why is so hard to do the shoryuken command with them? and also should i buy this stick used for 75 bucks at a local game shop?http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessories/official-street-fighter-iv-fightstick-tournament-edition-for-sony-ps3/73046 i''m think about buy sadly i'm only an online player and i never go to local places for personal reasons.

Once again Vivian Paley takes us into the inquiring minds and the dramatic worlds of young children learning in the kindergarten classroom. As she enters her final year of teaching, Paley tells in this book a story of farewell and a story of self-discovery--through the thoughts and blossoming spirit of Reeny, a little girl with a fondness for the color brown and an astonishing sense of herself. "This brown girl dancing is me," Reeny announces, as her crayoned figures flit across the classroom walls. Soon enough we are drawn into Reeny's remarkable dance of self-revelation and celebration, and into the literary turn it takes when Reeny discovers a kindred spirit in Leo Lionni--a writer of books and a teller of tales. Led by Reeny, Paley takes us on a tour through the landscape of characters created by Lionni. These characters come to dominate a whole year of discussion and debate, as the children argue the virtues and weaknesses of Lionni's creations and his themes of self-definition and an individual's place in the community. The Girl with the Brown Crayon tells a simple personal story of a teacher and a child, interweaving the themes of race, identity, gender, and the essential human needs to create and to belong. With characteristic charm and wonder, Paley discovers how the unexplored territory unfolding before her and Reeny comes to mark the very essence of school, a common core of reference, something to ponder deeply and expand on extravagantly.

The Monterey cypress scale or incense cedar scale occurs on Monterey cypress and incense cedar.
Scales are very small and immobile. They occur on bark beneath wax. Cypress bark mealybug (pictured)
resembles the preadult females of Monterey cypress scale. Nymphs and adults are round, bright red or orange,
and surrounded by a ring of white wax. Both species occur on bark of incense cedar and Monterey cypress,
and they look similar during certain life stages.
Leaves infested by the Monterey cypress scale become yellow and young trees decline. White
waxy threads appear on bark. Foliage infested by the cypress bark mealybug becomes yellow and red and
eventually may die.
Only heavily infested or young trees may be harmed. If scales are abundant and damage cannot be tolerated,
apply horticultural
oil to the bark.

I have the "Next" La Jolla walmart cruiser. It has an aluminum frame and is decent for what it is, but it being a single speed, the gear is way way too tall for my liking.
I'd like to put the smallest tooth front sprocket on i it can find. I'm not very mechanically inclined - to say the least. I may decide to leave well enough alone.
I can't see how one would even remove the crank arm to get to the sprocket nor do i know what tool(S) would be used. Please advise.

Im certianly not getting bored of GTA. I just wish more of the forms reg would paly online. If we did regularly it would never get old. I know this game isnt going to last me as long as SA did but that only because Ill be playing MGS4 soon but its not like im putting it away. Ill get the DLC if and when it comes.
and TBH, Guitar Hero is a sorry excuse of a game.
Bolded for effect...
As for DLC, i'm in no rush to get it. I'm lucky to fall into the group who still likes gtaiv and doesn't have time to play other games as it is (i don't own any other games). So for now IV takes my time up nicly when i do get round to switching it on. Its a great stress relief but the connecting to multiplayer via phone is very time consuming and annoying. However considering they have never done it before i will let them off.

Not so long ago, we had an article where some officials confirmed DLC for the PS3, but still everybody talks about "it's not sure"
did I miss some correction of this article or what?

I think the article bends the truth a touch. The PS3 will probably get some sort of DLC but the xbox will get the same plus the exclusive stuff ontop of that.

On Monday, May 12, JPMorgan chief executive James Dimon stated that about three-fourths of hiring decisions have already been made.
JPMorgan will cut job positions to make room for talent coming in from Bear, making the net increase for JPMorgan approximately 3,000 hires.
Dimon also remarked that he has secured positions for an additional 1,500 Bear employees with other firms, according to reports.
Most of those not offered jobs were engaged in operations and technology positions.
The merger, expected to be completed by June 1, has been in the public spotlight since March 16, when JPMorgan purchased the Bear Stearns Cos. for $10 per share.

LIVORNO, ITALY, April 13. WHAT'S a world record worth?
If you're an American and you set an individual mark at this year's Goodwill Games in Brisbane come September it's 50 big ones (dollars, that is, not Big Macs!).
And if you're Italian Olympic gold medalist Massi Rosolino it's 50 million lira (about $25K) if you swim it at the World Championships in Fukuoka this July, according to an interview with the Italian star in today's La Gazetta Dello Sport, the Italian sports daily.
Rosolino "cruised" to a world-leading 2:01.31 200 IM win today in the fifth day of th Italian Nationals-World Championship Trials here, a bit off his Sydney-winning time and pr-National Record 1:58.98. Still he ranks ahead of America's Tom Wilkens (2:01.51 from the U.S. Trials) and Australia's Grant McGregor's 2:01.58 from the Aussie Trials last month in Hobart — the second- and third-fastest yearly times.
Rosolino said his goal in Fukuoka is "nothing less" than Finland's Jani Sievinen's 1:58.16 global standard that he swam en route to the gold at the 1994 World Championships in Rome.
"I believe I definitely have a chance for the record but then perhaps so does Wilkens and maybe others," Rolsolino told La Gazetta correspondent Stefano Arcobelli. "I have at least two other races to swim in Japan [200-400 frees, where he was bronze and silver medalist at Sydney] so I'll have a very full program of events. Still, my training has been going well and I am looking forward to this summer."
In analyzing Rosolino's splits from Sydney vs. Sievienen's world record-setting swim it is apparent the Italian will have to go faster in his first two legs (fly, back) if he's to beome the first man under 1:58.0, which he says is his objective.
Sievinen was out in 26.17 on his 50 split while Massi went 26.59. Sievinen's back split was 30.41 compared to 30.77 for Rosolino, so at the halfway point the World Champ had touched in 56.61 to the Olympic Champ's 57.36 — a .76 differential.
On the breast leg Massi split 33.52 to Sievinen's 33.42, thus losing another tenth of a second after 150 meters (1:30.03-1:30.88). Coming home Rosolino splashed his final 50 in 28.10 compared to 28.13 for Sievinen, and there's the .82 the Italian has to find between now and July.
However, Rosolino has made some major drops in the last year so slashing a quarter-second off all four legs — while certainly a tall order — is not necessarily an unrealistic goal.
Before Sydney Massi's IM pr was a 2:00.62 which won him the gold at the European Championships in Helsinki last July. Prior to that, his pr was a 2:01.46, good for runner-up at the '99 European Championships in Istanbul. The winner — in 2:01.43 — was former Michigan All-America Marcel Wouda from the Netherlands, who also had won the title two years earlier at the '97 Euros in Seville (NR 2:00.77).
Citing knee and shoulder problems, Wouda retired after last summer's Euro Championships.
Rosolino also won last year's Euro 200 free title, defeating (of all people!) Olympic champ Pieter van den Hoogenband of Holland, 1:47.31-1:47.62. Hoogie had won the '99 title with a then pr of 1:47.09.
At Sydney, Rosolino went a 2:00.92 in the prelims, 2:01.14 in the semis and in the finals was nearly a second behind American Tom Dolan, the eventual silver medalist, at the halfway point (56.40-57.36). But a strong breaststroke leg (33.52 to Dolan's 34.77) gave the Italian star the lead at the 150 mark (1:30.88-1:31.17) and his final 50 (28.10 to Dolan's 28.62) gave him the gold and made him only the second man ever under 1:59.0.
Bottom line: the Italian star just didn't fall off the turnip truck. He's the real deal, attested to of course by his Olympic gold medal, and he's no slouch ether in the 200-400 frees.
However, Rosolino was at the center of a storm of controversy following his Sydney win. He (and other countrymen who competed at Sydney in a variety of sports) were accused by a doctor for the Italian Olympic team of having an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He vehemently denied the accusations.
In any event, nothing has been formally proved, though the World Anti-Drug Agency (WADA) is investigating. The problem: there is no test that can distinguish endogenous (naturally produced) hGH from exogenous forms of the hormone.
Italy's double Olympic champion, Domenico Fioravanti won his second event of the meet, taking the 100 breast in 1:01.63 with a 1:01.02 in the semis — second-fastest globally behind America's Ed Moses' 1:00.29 world record from the US Trials.
Runner-up in the 200 IM was 400 IM national record-holder Alessio Boggiatto (pr 2:02.38), bettering his former career-best of 2:03.21 from last summer's Italian Championships.
In the 100 fly Cristian Galenda broke the oldest men's record on the books with his 53.99, a mark set 11 years ago.
Sprinter Lorenzo Vismara won the 100 in 49.24, a mere .01 off his NR set while leading off the sprint relay at Sydney. He also split a quick 48.64 anchoring his club's medley realy team.
On the women's side, sprinter Cecilia Vianini won her second gold of the meet, splashing to an easy 100 free win (56.26). She set the Italian record with her 55.96 relay leadoff at the Olympics.
Fabiana Susini won the 800 free (8:47.07); Roberta Crescenti the 100 breast (pr 1:10.09 and not far off the NR of 1:09.66 by long-retired Manuella Dalla Valle from the 1987 European Championships in Strasbourg); Cristina Maccagnola the 50 fly (NR 27.58); and Federica Biscia the 200 IM (2:18.63). She earlier had won the 400 IM.
The meet continues in the indoor Giudici Baldacci e Dolfini 50 meter pool through Sunday.

Premier League: Reading 1 Tottenham 3
Tottenham Hotspur secured their first win of the season to ease the pressure on new manager, Andre Villas-Boas.
A well-worked move on the right flank saw Aaron Lennon's pull-back clinically converted by Jermain LOlDefoe from 10 yards, before Gareth Bale extended the lead in the second half after being set up by Kyle Walker.
Defoe doubled his tally to make it 3-0 before Reading nabbed a 90th-minute consolation through Hal Robson-Kanu.
Tottenham were on the front foot from the outset at Madejski Stadium and Jan Vertonghen stung the palms of Alex McCarthy early on.
The visitors played with authority and although Bale missed the target with a deft flick from a Vertonghen long-ball, Defoe made no mistake when he caught his first clear sight of goal.
Gylfi Sigurdsson threaded a well-weighted pass in between Kaspars Gorkss and Ian Harte for Lennon to scamper on to, and the winger's cutback was met with a well-placed Defoe shot that gave Spurs the lead.
Defoe's sublime first touch from Kyle Naughton's long ball almost saw him create a second, but his shot was toe-poked wide.
The diminutive striker kept hassling the Reading defence and almost set up Sigurdsson for a second goal, but Alex Pearce made a heroic goal-line block from the Icelander.
Aside from a late Jobi McAnuff 20-yard effort, Reading had very little to show for a first half in the way of opportunities on goal.
They opted for a more direct approach after the interval but the impressive Vertonghen remained diligent at the back alongside William Gallas.
With Reading pushing forward the visitors were presented with opportunities on the counter, with a Mousa Dembele cross-shot deflecting off Defoe and over the crossbar.
Walker was the architect of the second goal, taking advantage of some loose defending to skip down the right and drag the ball back to Bale, whose mistimed shot sailed into goal.
Defoe started and finished the play that sealed the three points, gliding past Pearce and slamming the ball across McCarthy for his second goal of the game.
Gallas cleared Adam Le Fondre and Reading's first shot on target off the line with five minutes to play, but the substitute striker showed great invention in the final two minutes to clip a cross over Brad Friedel and provide the assist for the onrushing substitute Robson-Kanu.

Cardinals rookies went through their first practice as professionals Friday, and accordingly, miracles were neither expected nor produced.
"They get a gold star if they can line up right today," coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
There were two practices Friday, two more scheduled for Saturday and another Sunday. The idea is to teach the 47 players in attendance, mostly rookies, enough that they can compete for jobs when the entire team begins practicing in a few weeks.
"The thing that you tell them is you are not going to make the team this weekend," Whisenhunt said. "If you want to make a good impression, don't make mistakes and do it right from a technique standpoint. If you can work on those things and get better over the course of the days, then you'll stand out and you'll have a chance to get reps when the vets get in here. And that will give you a chance to make the team."
In attendance were all seven draft picks, 16 rookie free agents, 16 players trying out and eight others who spent time on the practice squad last season.
The practices were filled with the basics, such as play calls and alignments. Some players had easier times with it than others.
For receiver Michael Floyd, the first-round pick, the practice seemed familiar because there are similarities between the Cardinals' offense and the one used by coach Charlie Weis in Floyd's first two years at Notre Dame.
"I'm adjusting to it," he said. "It's different from college to here and I have to make sure I'm crisp with everything."
Whisenhunt called the workouts interesting.
"It was, in a lot of ways, fun," he said. "The enthusiasm was great. The effort was great. Didn't quite know what they were doing all the time.
"But it really makes you appreciate being on the field again. We didn't have this last year because of the lockout and boy, this is a lot of fun, being out there with the guys, working on football stuff."
It's the first rookie camp in Whisenhunt's five years with the team. Usually, rookies and veterans practice together, but the new collective-bargaining agreement changed some off-season practices.
This camp is for rookies and other young players. Everyone will participate in organized team activities, which start in two weeks, and the off-season concludes with a team minicamp in mid-June.
"You can devote more time to them, they're getting more reps and you're getting to see how they react to some situations," Whisenhunt said. "Some of the instinctive things and what they've been coached on. Like a receiver when he beats a defensive back, is he going to get over the top, is he going to the run to the sideline?"

Musician Joanna Newsom Joins Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice
By Nick Venable 2013-08-08 16:28:40 comments
Its been a full two months since we ran a story about casting for Paul Thomas Andersons upcoming Inherent Vice, and you cant blame us for thinking that meant that the casting process was complete - especially since the film has been shooting since May. But according to The Playlist, singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom has been added to the already stacked cast. This makes her the second musician to join the film, joining hip-hop artist Joaquin Phoenix. Wait, you mean Im Still Here wasnt real?
Unfortunately, theres no word on who Newsom will be playing within the film, but considering its a shaggy dog detective story, there are plenty of ways for a singer to enter the picture. Hopefully, shell actually be performing some of her music on screen, perhaps in a smoky dimly-lit bar. Shes both an accomplished pianist and a harpist, and while having her play the piano would make more sense in most films, I have a feeling Anderson would revel in having a giant harp in his movie. Maybe with oil gushing out of it.
With three highly acclaimed albums behind her, Newsom, who is married to SNL vet Andy Samberg, is well accomplished on the musical front, but has only shined as an actress on one occasion... and she was playing herself. It was for an episode of IFCs Portlandia, in which Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein try and fit her harp into a hatchback. Interestingly enough, Armisen plays a character named Joaquin. Fate? Perhaps. Check that clip out below.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled Inherent Vice article. The film, based on a novel from Thomas Pynchon, follows pot-smoking L.A. private detective Doc Sportello (Phoenix), who is investigating the kidnapping of one of his ex-girlfriends. As you might expect, the actual cops arent too keen on Sportello butting into their business, but that doesnt stop him from winding his way through a world of weirdoes in order to get the case solved.
Ready for that cast list? Besides those previously mentioned, the films stars include Benicio Del Toro, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Martin Short, Jena Malone, Maya Rudolph, Katherine Waterson, Kevin OConnor, Timothy Simons, Peter McRobbie, and Sasha Pieterse.
Unlike most other highly anticipated films coming out in the next year, Inherent Vice hasnt yet locked down an opening weekend.

Last November I led the session on the Friday, which was tremendous fun. Usually we do it from the stage and one or two laughter members go down into the audience to encourage people to get right into it, the laughter exercises.
This time we had Laughing Laura visiting with her husband William and a lovely young lady, Doreen, from the Malaysian Laughter Club, as well as Martie, who attends both the Ferntree Gully and Mitcham clubs.
It is always heaps of fun to go up on stage and get involved laughing. This time was a little different, as Laura being an honoured visitor, started it off really well with a great introduction regarding Laughter Yoga and then very soon hopped down into the audience.
The laughter session flowed really well with many laughs being led by the four of us ladies and in a short space of time we were all down amongst the Friday audience who became very involved. On young couple in the front lay their baby down on a blanket on the floor to free themselves up to become totally involved in the exercises.
I decided to join the other three too and the only one left on stage was a little girl of about three years old who obviously loved it all!
What a wonderful blessing laughter is in our lives, to be able to become one with the audience, our hearts and minds were truly connected together in that half hour in a memorable way. I appreciate the gift of laughter and the service that Dr & Mrs Kataria have given to us all worldwide and the opportunity to share it publicly in the City of Melbourne at the Mind Body Spirit Festival twice a year. Thank you.
Love and Laughter

In the global warming/climate change debate, two apparent sides are hotly wrangling about whether the phenomenon is real, whether it is caused by human activities, and – perhaps the most incomprehensible and dangerous argument of all – if carbon dioxide, or CO2, is actually a threat to the planet's future climate stability.
The debate over whether climate is warming and man is the cause (anthropogenic warming) is most visible in the media. Opponents of the theory include Michelle Bachmann, the Heritage Foundation, Freeman Dyson, Sammy Wilson, the American
Enterprise Institute, Sarah Palin, the Cato Institute, Richard Lindzen, Rick Perry, Vaclav Klaus, the International Climate Science Coalition, Exxon Mobil (no surprise there), Bjorn Lomborg, Garth Paltridge, the Heartland Institute, Hendrik Tennekes, Antonino Zichichi, the Fraser Institute, Christopher Monckton, and the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy, to name the majority.
It does not include almost everyone on Senator James Inhofe's infamous "list of 400", who are largely represented by television weathermen, anti-global warming group members or leaders, economists (who don't want the whole consumer capitalist meme to come to a screeching halt), and a number of individuals who have no expertise in (and, dare I add, no interest in?) the source of the earth's current warming trend.
On the affirmative side – that is, those who believe that mankind's activities over the past century have contributed in large part to the current warming – is a list of organizations (provided as an e-mail response to a Climate Progress article on the subject). They include:
The Academy of sciences of Malaysia, Academy of science South Africa, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Astronomical Society, American chemical society, American Geophysical Union, American Institute of Physics, American Meteorology Society, American Physical Society, American Quaternary Association, Australian Academy of Science, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, Brazilian Academy of Science, Canadian federation of Earth Sciences, Canadian Foundation for climate and Atmospheric Sciences, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic society. The Caribbean Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Science, The European Academy of Sciences and Arts, European Geosciences Union, European Science Foundation, French Academy of Science, German Academy of natural Science, Scientist leapoldina, Geological Society of America, Geological Society of London stratigrophy commission, Indian National Science Academy. Indonesian Academy of Sciences, Inter-academy Council, International academies of engineering and technological Sciences, International Union of Geodessy and physics, International Union for Quaternary research, Mexican Academy of Sciences. Network of African Science Academies, Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts, Royale Irish Academy, Royal Society of Canada, Royal Society of New Zealand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Science Council of Japan.
Who is winning the debate? At the moment, a bleak economic picture worldwide is the loudest voice in the room. This voice is canceling global warming prevention initiatives from the U.S. to Australia. Perhaps that is the way certain factions – call them Bilderbergers, or wealthy ruling elite – want it. It's hard to sort the noise from the conversation when those who control everything turn up the volume and the pressure.
Meantime, a consortium of 11 of the world's largest engineering organizations says that the technology already exists to slash global greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent by 2050.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) implicated in global warming include CO2, the main culprit; methane; nitrogen oxides; ozone; and fluorinated gases used in refrigeration like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride, or SF6, used in various commercial and industrial products, largely as refrigerants, to replace older and now banned chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, or HCFCs (which were phased out under the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer).
If the scientists are right, why aren't we investing in that technology? Or is the media circus a way to distract us from the things our governments are not doing for our benefit?

The family picnic we have to attend next week is sneaking up fast, but our skin doesn't seem to be catching up, so we picked up the SEPHORA COLLECTION Sunkissed Glow Essentials ($22) the other day to fake our way into early summer. The mist covers our body in a mid-July glow that doesn't require one of those ghastly tanning beds, and the bronzer gives our cheeks the healthy fake bake that we so desperately need before stepping out. We're not ashamed of our pearly white skin, but we know our mother will ask us if we're getting enough fresh air otherwise.

Two Tulane University professors are launching a website — New Orleans Satellite Government — that contains information on the makeup, mission and money spent by more than 200 commissions, boards, security and improvement districts, public benefit corporations and other public bodies operating in New Orleans.
These entities can be considered "satellites" of New Orleans city government because they spend city tax dollars, generate revenue and set policies.
"These satellite government entities perform important public functions in New Orleans, and there is a need for transparency and information about who they are, what they do, how they do it, and with what mechanisms of oversight," say the site's founders, David Marcello, executive director of the Public Law Center at Tulane Law School, and Aaron Schneider, the Jill H. and Avram A. Glazer Professor of Political Science at Tulane.
The site contains the names and contact information of satellite government board members, the satellites' legal origins, their funding, expenditures, operational requirements, reporting policies and more.
Potential users of the site include the media, good government organizations, watchdog groups, community activists, students, concerned citizens and the public entities themselves. Marcello and Schneider hope the site advances best practices and general awareness, fostering transparency and accountability in an area of government that can be difficult to understand.
"Some entities may be operating and reporting really well and other groups can learn from them," Schneider says. "Others may display practices that are outdated or not designed appropriately for the goals of the entities." Both professors hope the website will spur reform efforts, where needed.
"My enthusiasm is governmental reform," Marcello says. "This database supports reforms that we've achieved in New Orleans over several decades, such as the Inspector General and Ethics Review Board. By making information available about satellite government, this database stands in that line of progress."

text: The Revolution is a short story written by James ''Tank50us'' News. It tells the story of a man who lost his wife and son at the outset of his countries civil war. The writer intentionally avoided naming anyone in the story, or even the town or country of which it is set. All that is known, is that it takes place in a typical 21st Century suburb. This was meant to place the reader in the shoes of the protagonist, to make them think about what it would be like if ''they'' were in this situation.The whole story can be read [[http://tank50us.deviantart.com/art/The-Revolution-363784879 here]]For other works by this name, see {{Revolution}}.----!!Tropes:* AnyoneCanDie: The protagonist loses his wife and oldest son. Some of his neighbors lose even more then that.* AxeCrazy: Again, the Protagonist. He loses two, and he makes the government pay for with 134 of theirs KIA... by his hands.** The government could also count, as they are willing to turn heavy weapons onto unarmed protesters just to stamp it out.** And don't forget the agent in charge of the unit who broke into the protagonists home...* BewareTheNiceOnes: The Protagonist is willing to let his neighbors chants slide since he's a nice guy (both ways in this case), their kids get along well, and they have steaks at their place every now and then. But that was before the government broke into his home...* DefiantToTheEnd: How the lead agent sees the Protagonist when questioning him about his neighbor.* DoomedHometown: The protagonists entire town is now in full blown lock-down, and the government is rounding up anyone they don't like... [[spoiler: just to kill them]]* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The Protagonist isn't alone here. Many of the people from his home town are probably just as AxeCrazy as he is over what the government did. Although, to our knowledge, The Protagonist is the only one keeping count...* LaResistance: Sure, he wasn't a rebel before... but after the deaths of his wife, oldest son, AND a good chunk of his home town... he became one.* OneSidedBattle: The resistance coming to the aid of the town, and take the agents by complete surprise.* OvernightConquest: Averted. The destruction of The Protagonists country started ''years'' before the main story takes place.* PapaWolf: The Protagonist was powerless to stop the deaths of his wife and oldest son... But he is now NOT powerless, and is not going to let anything happens to what's left of his kids.* RealitySubtext: The author points out that while the inspiration came from a movie trailer, the premiss is meant to hit home with anyone reading it. As what happens in this short story, can, will, and ''is'' happening in various parts of the world.* TearJerker: Seriously, how can you ''not'' feel for The Protagonist. He was forced to watch his wife executed (which is described in detail), his oldest son get shot because he wanted to hold his mother, all while his daughter and youngest son are ''screaming'' in emotional agony. ----

Earlier we did not take the recipes of my aunt Agnes serious. She and her recipes from Silesia! The German word is "Schlesien". But the food was yummy and especially the soups for fall and winter. They are hearty and warming; I call them soups for the soul! That's the time when the fall wind is blowing, the days are getting shorter, and the mornings frosty. Then the wind is carrying the smell of pumpkin soup into our warm homes.
This recipe is old and traditional and comes from Silesia, a part of Europe that belonged to Germany but since 1945 it has been a part of Poland. On the map you can see that it is surrounded by Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland. This was a little historical overview but here is the unique recipe for the pumpkin soup, which you will love!
500-750 g pumpkin meat
1/2 l water
1 small Cinnamon stick
lemon juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves
1/4 l milk
40 g flour
20 g butter, salt, 1 pinch sugar
Cooking Instructions Silesian Pumpkin Soup
- Cut the pumpkin meat into small cubes.
- Put the pumpkin pieces into a cooking pot, and with the water and the spices, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and boil it for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft.
- Drain the pumpkin meat through a sieve, remove the spices, keep the water!
- Puree the pumpkin with a mixer or mash it with a wooden masher.
- Mix the flour into the milk and add it to the mashed pumpkin.
- Bring it to a boil; you will see that it became thicker because of the flour.
- Let it boil on low heat for another 10 minutes and add the remaining pumpkin cooking water, the soup should not get too thick nor should it stick to the bottom of the cooking pot.
- Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and sugar. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more sugar.

Previous thread:
pluto is stuck at the time gates i think
Eh, until she actually tries something, Pluto's a non-issue in my mind. Hell, figuring out what tracks to use for the ending songs for this and the second season rank higher right now.
Honestly, I just want an ending where he's beating down responsible parties at the end and we just watch the poetic justice unfold.
Can someone remind me what the plot of this story is?
Every time I check in on it, more characters from more anime series get thrown into the mix and most of them I've never even heard of.
Uhm... No. Not since the conclusion of the First Loop... well, except for the fact that the 'Mystery World' was revealed to be Neon Genesis Evangelion.
But really, if you're honestly that far behind, then get ye thereforth to fanfiction.net and start rereading from Chapter 1, Vol. 1.
As for the plot... pretty simple. R.O.B. takes a totally mundane dude and, every time he falls asleep, sticks him in the bed of a girl he happens to fancy in anime. At around 4am local time. Every time. He loops through different worlds in a round-robin manner. Thorough deconstruction, so don't expect sunshine and rainbows.
Will Walker point out that Pluto is no longer considered as a planet to Sailor Pluto if she ever makes her presence known at a most inopportune time?
HA! Hilarious.
Let's not forget the very solid staff she carries shall we?
And the fact that she's a very grown woman who wears a magical girl outfit based on a sailor-fuku. If Luna, Vivio, and/or Cinque are still with Walker by then, I would expect some rather directly innocent yet awkward questions sent her way. Cue Walker facepalming once again.
She's probably amused that it was ever classified as a planet anyways-dwarf planets have senshi too you know. And there seems to be no link between planet's size and the power of their senshi.
All I have to say is... holy crap.
I wish I had a fourth of the dedication you have, Admiral.
Hmm... When will Walker explain to Marler that he wakes up next to her because he happens to like her...
For that matter, what will Hild do when she finds out...
Troll-Ship by Hild between Walker and Marler?
It seems like the only way forward, I fear.
Just felt the need to add my two cents. To paraphrase our great lord ATC, the SM timeline is like a VHS. Pluto has fast-forward and rewind capabilities from her seat in the future. Walker is like someone switching tapes instantaneously without her knowledge.
Also, definite troll-ship by Hild, as well as an actual possible Hagall-ship.
And Hild will obviously use Troll Logic to try to pull that off.
"Belldandy has a human lover here on Earth. Clearly, in order to level the playing field, Marler should have a human lover as well. Thankfully, we have one right here~!"
I thought it was more like Walker, coming in at a dminesional level even higher than hers (she being a 3rd dimensional being in like a 5th dimensional space), looks like he has always been there. It isn't so much that he is switching films its more that he's edited himself in to point that from Pluto's perspective he was, is, and always has been there.
I can't wait to see walker play off why he disappeared in front of urd. Also WASHU talks to HILD.
Yeah, I could see Hild trying to play matchmaker between Walker and Mara, especially after she
him. Of course, given that the setting is a romantic comedy, things won't work out exactly.
I think that this got lost after the switch between threads:
Really though, I'm putting my faith in the Admiral to figure out his own strategy. He continues to throw off my expectations with startling twists, and I won't presume to know how Walker's journey ends up.
This too (I thought that that was what I was saying, that he looks like he's always been there).
Also, it was brought up that Hild will give Walker Hagall to get her out of the way, and further ties. Giving him Mara as a girlfriend isn't as effective, although that certainly won't stop her from joking about it.
It's Hild. She'll probably be able to do both without anyone realizing it.
Give him Mara AND Hagall?
Won't Hagall get jealous?
I'd be more concerned about what Walker's reaction would be...not to mention Luna's.
Luna, used to these things by this point, will just facepalm.
Walker will be too... occupied... by Hagall, and other girls (possibly including Tre, Uno, and Quattro), to react all that much.;7

Moment Quotes (26 quotes)
A theory is scientific only if it can be disproved. But the moment you try to cover absolutely everything the chances are that you cover nothing.
Among people I have met, the few whom I would term great all share a kind of unquestioned, fierce dedication; an utter lack of doubt about the value of their activities (or at least an internal impulse that drives through any such angst); and above all, a capacity to work (or at least to be mentally alert for unexpected insights) at every available moment of every day of their lives.
How can one really know a great moment unless one has first felt a great disappointment?
Human personality resembles a coral reef: a large hard/dead structure built and inhabited by tiny soft/live animals. The hard/dead part of our personality consists of habits, memories, and compulsions and will probably be explained someday by some sort of extended computer metaphor. The soft/live part of personality consists of moment-to-moment direct experience of being. This aspect of personality is familiar but somewhat ineffable and has eluded all attempts at physical explanation.
Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. ... Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.
[Recalling his time spent at his father's property, Mill Grove, during his first visit to America.]
[Recalling his time spent at his father's property, Mill Grove, during his first visit to America.]
Is evolution a theory, a system or a hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforth if they are to be thinkable and true. Evolution is a light illuminating all facts, a curve that all lines must follow. ... The consciousness of each of us is evolution looking at itself and reflecting upon itself....Man is not the center of the universe as once we thought in our simplicity, but something much more wonderfulthe arrow pointing the way to the final unification of the world in terms of life. Man alone constitutes the last-born, the freshest, the most complicated, the most subtle of all the successive layers of life. ... The universe has always been in motion and at this moment continues to be in motion. But will it still be in motion tomorrow? ... What makes the world in which we live specifically modern is our discovery in it and around it of evolution. ... Thus in all probability, between our modern earth and the ultimate earth, there stretches an immense period, characterized not by a slowing-down but a speeding up and by the definitive florescence of the forces of evolution along the line of the human shoot.
It has cost them but a moment to cut off that head; but a hundred years will not be sufficient to produce another like it.
It is a misfortune for a science to be born too late when the means of observation have become too perfect. That is what is happening at this moment with respect to physical chemistry; the founders are hampered in their general grasp by third and fourth decimal places.
It is impossible not to feel stirred at the thought of the emotions of man at certain historic moments of adventure and discoveryColumbus when he first saw the Western shore, Pizarro when he stared at the Pacific Ocean, Franklin when the electric spark came from the string of his kite, Galileo when he first turned his telescope to the heavens. Such moments are also granted to students in the abstract regions of thought, and high among them must be placed the morning when Descartes lay in bed and invented the method of co-ordinate geometry.
It is obvious that man dwells in a splendid universe, a magnificent expanse of earth and sky and heaven, which manifestly is built on a majestic plan, maintains some mighty design, though man himself cannot grasp it. Yet for him it is not a pleasant or satisfying world. In his few moments of respite from labor or from his enemies, he dreams that this very universe might indeed be perfect, its laws operating just as now they seem to do, and yet he and it somehow be in full accord. The very ease with which he can frame this image to himself makes the reality all the more mocking. ... It is only too clear that man is not at home in this universe, and yet he is not good enough to deserve a better.
It is our great collective misfortune that the scientific community made its decisive diagnosis of the climate threat at the precise moment when an elite minority was enjoying more unfettered political, cultural, and intellectual power than at any point since the 1920s.
Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.
Nature is full of by-ends. A moth feeds on a petal, in a moment the pollen caught on its breast will be wedding this blossom to another in the next county.
New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment.
One can truly say that the irresistible progress of natural science since the time of Galileo has made its first halt before the study of the higher parts of the brain, the organ of the most complicated relations of the animal to the external world. And it seems, and not without reason, that now is the really critical moment for natural science; for the brain, in its highest complexity—the human brain—which created and creates natural science, itself becomes the object of this science.
One of the memorable moments of my life was when Willard Libby came to Princeton with a little jar full of crystals of barium xenate. A stable compound, looking like common salt, but much heavier. This was the magic of chemistry, to see xenon trapped into a crystal.
Quantum theory—at least in the Heisenberg interpretation—describes the way the world works as a literal moment-to-moment emergence of actual facts out of a background of less factual 'potentia.'
Real science exists, then, only from the moment when a phenomenon is accurately defined as to its nature and rigorously determined in relation to its material conditions, that is, when its law is known. Before that, we have only groping and empiricism.
The ancestors of the higher animals must be regarded as one-celled beings, similar to the Ambæ which at the present day occur in our rivers, pools, and lakes. The incontrovertible fact that each human individual develops from an egg, which, in common with those of all animals, is a simple cell, most clearly proves that the most remote ancestors of man were primordial animals of this sort, of a form equivalent to a simple cell. When, therefore, the theory of the animal descent of man is condemned as a horrible, shocking, and immoral doctrine, tho unalterable fact, which can be proved at any moment under the microscope, that the human egg is a simple cell, which is in no way different to those of other mammals, must equally be pronounced horrible, shocking, and immoral.
The search [for extra-terrestrial life] is a failure until that moment when it suddenly becomes a success.
The third [argument of motion is] to the effect that the flying arrow is at rest, which result follows from the assumption that time is composed of moments: if this assumption is not granted, the conclusion will not follow.Arrow paradox
— Zeno
The truly scientific mind is altogether unafraid of the new, and while having no mercy for ideas which have served their turn or shown their uselessness, it will not grudge to any unfamiliar conception its moment of full and friendly attention, hoping to expand rather than to minimize what small core of usefulness it may happen to contain.
The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register.
There are moments when very little truth would be enough to shape opinion. One might be hated at extremely low cost.
This is a moment to seize. The kaleidoscope has been shaken. The pieces are in flux. Soon they will settle again. Before they do, let us re-order this world around us. Today, humankind has the science and technology to destroy itself or to provide prosperity to all. Yet science cant make that choice for us. Only the moral power of a world acting as a community can.
What binds us to space-time is our rest mass, which prevents us from flying at the speed of light, when time stops and space loses meaning. In a world of light there are neither points nor moments of time; beings woven from light would live nowhere and nowhen; only poetry and mathematics are capable of speaking meaningfully about such things.

Personal Income, Spending Come In Weaker Ahead Of Gasoline Price Shock
And some more bad news for the economy, as the driver of 70% of US GDP, the US consumer, continues to retrench. Today's personal spending and income data showed several things: that in January Personal Incomes did not keep pace with the rate of growth, rising 0.3% compared to 0.5% in December, and less than the 0.5% expected. Spending also missed expectations of a 0.4% rise, instead picking up just 0.2%, from 0.0% in December. More importantly, we once again see that living in a socialist state has its drawbacks when the spigot is shut off: among the biggest drivers for the weak data was a change in government handouts: "Personal current transfer receipts decreased $3.6 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $13.8 billion in December. Within personal current transfer receipts, "other" government social benefits to persons decreased $14.9 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $1.5 billion in December. The January change in "other" government social benefits to persons reflected a decrease of $13.6 billion due to the expiration of the Making Work Pay refundable tax credits." Luckily what the government takes with one hand it offsets with the other: "Government social benefits for Medicaid decreased $7.8 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $0.2 billion in December. Government social benefits for social security increased $20.3 billion in January, compared to an increase of $9.6 billion in December. The January change reflected 3.6-percent cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to social security benefits and to several other federal transfer payment programs. Together, these COLAs added $30.2 billion to the January increase in government social benefits to persons." Well at least somebody still does COLA in this day and age of ubiquitous 'deflation.'
Somre more commentary from Bloomberg, which is getting increasingly dour on the US consumer:
- Personal spending up 0.2% vs est. 0.4% (range 0.2%-0.6%)
- Core inflation probably rose 0.2% M/m, matching est.; rose 1.9% Y/y vs est. 1.8%
- "Troubling'' that spending data calculated prior to gasoline price spike, "doesn't bode well" for current qtr growth, says Bloomberg economist Joseph Brusuelas
- Real disposable personal incomes down 0.1%, up "lowly" 0.6% Y/y, implying "extremely weak spending in the near term," says Bloomberg economist Rich Yamarone
As for our favorite savings rate chart, alas since all the data has been revised, we will need to adjusted our methodology to match all the behind the scenes fudging that continues to go on at all the BLS linked departments.
- advertisements -
And consumer confidence came in how far above expectation?
The 'consumer' is now mainlining Zoloft and Ambien....its GOOD TIMES! Hell who cares what the avg sheeple out there thinks, theyre whacked out of their minds on 'anti depressants' all over the place. Load em up with Ambien, then lets poll em, see how theyre feelin....LOL.
And those not taking anti depressants - are getting dumbed and numbed down by other substances in our water, food, tv, etc...
So we are all getting a 'hit' of something.
When not duped up on meds, we need to watch American Idle, Jersey Whore, etc. etc. to marvel at other people's misery, else we need to cry at our own.
This is what the decline of empire feels like--a bankrupt nation, financially and socially. The Turks are sailing up the Bosporus, the barbarian hordes on the horizon....
Theyre going to TELL you youre happy....and if you dont like it, youre probably a TERRORIST!
Consumer confidence is a lagging indicator in that it reflects how people felt about the economy (prices and employment to them) and are happy and confident when employment is going up (or at least not getting worse) and prices are falling (or at least not going up). If they pay $3 a gallon for gas in November and December they will report feeling good when asked in December and January and reported in January and February.
They are also considered a leading indicator in that a happy consumer tends to go out and spend more in the future, and bet on the future by indulging in credit purchases (larger items) and forming households, that is planning families, buying houses, and such long-term commitments.
What we see now is the feel good hangover of low gasoline prices which we have seen now jump by 80 cents in just a few weeks time, and the rise has been so large an so fast that it is shocking and not yet factored into the old data just now getting reported. April and May (and probably June, July, August, etc) numbers will tank sharply as the realization sets in that we are back to full stagflation collapse as usual.
My question is, if you take the actual numbers and not the BLS bullshit ones, with unemployment, housing, food, energy and gasoline prices where they are, who are they polling? Is there anywhere that we can view the sample population?
I have no idea who theyre polling, sure isnt me!
Bureau of Lies and Subterfuge strikes again...
Who are they polling... with any poll? Someone wrote something yesterday about the Republican primaries... something to the effect of "sure... Ron Paul is pulling 10% of the vote, even though he has 4,000 people show up to his campaign stops, vs. about 400 for MR or RS. I "virtually" nodded in agreement. "Of course the election if fixed, and diebold runs the election". But then I started to think about polling data. The polliing data heading into MI and Arizona supported the outcome pretty closely. So if the vote is a fraud, so are all of the polling companies, which to me, seemed quite a bit less likely. I mean they are fraudulent to a point... clearly they drive opinion at least as much as they measure it... that I get... but for the vote count to be an outright lie, the polling data would need to be as well. Anyway... my random stream of consciousness.
Hicks: I'm sick of the polls, they are NOT funny, hate em'. Where do they get these people, the S&M parlor?"
Can anyone tell me if this is damage control or was the Lord really, really dumb?
If it is damage control someone is getting worried.
http://boingboing.net/2012/03/01/tory-lord-tells-peers-about-a.htmlTory Lord tells peers about a weird Internet scam at great length
On February 16th, Lord David James of Blackheath (a Conservative life peer) spoke for 11 minutes in the UK House of Lords about a supposed $15 trillion federal reserve conspiracy that involved more gold than has ever been mined. It turned out he had fallen for a widespread scam.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/25/british-lord-fell-for-15-trillion-fede...March 1, 2012 British Lord fell for $15 trillion federal reserve scam
But Lord James, keeping calm and carrying on, justified the story by pointing to a first-of-its-kind audit of the Federal Reserve system, published in July 2011 by the Government Accountability Office and publicized by the self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont.
Sanders claimed at the time that the audit showed "that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world."
The GAO report itself, on page 144, does describe $16.1 trillion in loans issued by the Fed from December 1, 2007 through July 21,2010. And adding the Fed's "broad-based emergency program" loans, the report documents about $26 trillion of borrowing over a 31-month period.
For a nation worried over its $15.4 trillion national debt, the idea of a cash reserve that big would be reassuring — if the money were all in one place at the same time. But the Fed's money ebbs and flows in and out with surprising speed, making the $26 trillion figure a deceptive one. Confusing that total with the Fed's net worth would be like confusing a taxpayer's annual salary with the value of his checking account.
Yet conspiracy theorists from Bernie Sanders to former Democratic Florida Rep. Alan Grayson — and even the Occupy Wall Street movement — have pointed to last year's GAO report as evidence of a global conspiracy of Ron Paulian proportions.
Eh? He said it was clearly some sort of scam in his speach. Not only that, but he had documents with the signatures of Greenspan and Geithner on them. Why would those guys sign off on something related to an internet scam?
Further, this guy isn't some novice. He is an experience financial professional. Worked for Lloyd's as I recall.
70 vs 63.
The collapse is coming!
Go read the piece from the AP on this posted on yahoo finance. There is a sentence in that piece in which I have never witnessed so much spin in my life.
Just absurd.
Maybe Obamao needs to kill Osama Bin Laden again.
Plus he could claim that he has invented a way to save people from dying.
Just like old Anakin Skywalker
'Consumer entrenching"? Why, just because they have no money? AW spoiled brats COME ON be optimistic! Anal rapings usually ALWAYS end....theres hope!
Lets see....we wont include food and gas in 'inflation data', but we well wring our hands over it when we're looking at what the consumer monkeys are spending....'doesnt bode well'....awe come on little campers! Just CHARGE it!
Since I went Galt my spending is down 90% and I'm looking to cut further
Hell with these clowns, I dont spend anything now except bare needs, and those I always wait until theyre marked way down on clearance...cut driving way down too...amazing what you dont need really, and Im not going to 'behave' as they want and run around spending on their garbage and taking my directed 2 week driving vacation they can kiss my ass Im staying home oiling a rifle.
But, but, but......the premium Friskies 'filet mignon and champagne' cat food is calling!!!!
+1 sheepie. 1st laugh of the day. May be the only.
More importantly, we once again see that living in a socialist state has its drawbacks when the spigot is shut off
I just had to go to the ER recently here in MA. The bill I got? $1400. And *I* have insurance through my employer.
If I actually lived in a *socialist* state, I could of kept that money in my pocket and spent it on the shit that keeps *your* stock market alfoat.
Thats the problem with society today; the ideology mindfuck the banker-led education system has put into our brains, as well as our parents, confuses the population to go at each other's throats for reason that they don't even understand. The crony capitalist system we have lived in the last 20 years is actually fascism, while the "fascist" states that existed in the 1930s were actually Nationalist states, including Russia and for today, China. That's why China is going to fall, because Nationalist states often fall victims to hubris.
But let's defend the corporate fascist state by misidentifying it. Let's go back to the Neo Feudalist days where 60, 70% of my income is taxed through the state or inflation, while my benefits from labor are stripped from me because "I'm getting too many handouts".
I mean, this all isn't news. The corporate state is bleeding us dry, and throwing us crumbs that people call "socialist handouts", where the crumbs are neither socialist, or a handout. The misidenitifcation of the enemy, the lust for fiat currency, in exchange for wealth distribution, is the reason why we are in the conundrum we are in today. It's not the money's fault; it's the people behind it. even though the people behind it are the same people as the people behind it.
All economies are planned. There are no examples of a pure laissez-fair economy as far as I know. Austrian, Keyesian, whatever. Its all planned by those at the top to finger fuck (with lube for those who are lucky) our wealth, especially the lower and middle classes. Then the politicans and their corporate masters blame those same classes, especially the younger people, for societys ills instead of, you know, maybe looking in the fuckin mirror.
But consumer confidence is up, so go out and buy that TV or more McShit. Watch that new TV and listen to some overeducated moron who works for a think tank forms your ideology, instead of, you know, maybe spending the time to read and develop your own thinking of the world.
There are two things missing in todays human society: accountability and critical thinking.
The only way out, is extermination.
It will rue us all.
Yep, in a 'socialist state' my stitches wouldnt have cost me $650, with insurance, it would have been free. What we're in is something way worse than 'socialism' for sure.
For-profit medicine is the worse. Send you home with a $250,000 hang nail and then some asshole sends you a $10k bottle of O2. Anything related to medical is big$ and the bullshit needs to stop. Instead of reinventing the system hospitals are just closing down. You can't have half the country in a depressioin and have the other half attempt to operate like there's nothing wrong..................much like public union. I have so many different tax bills from these pos parasites I don't even know what's what anymore. Austerity motherfuckers!
Oh and btw something like 70% of medical bankruptcies in the US are people the HAVE insurance. If you have a 80/20 plan, like most do, that 20% can rack up fast. This is all a result of the grand global gobble scheme, it ruined many of us and left a few standing that refuse to join us and will destroy us to keep what they have. Thanks. Appreciate that.
Even on a 90% plan, my wife's surgeries and medical bills over only three years nearly ruined us financially. We got foreclosed on in the end, but it was either the house or going broke entirely. I'm still digging out from underneath those bills. I'm not complaining though. If it were not for the insurance, my situation would have been far far worse!
Here's the finance pages version of the story:
Notice the positive twist and green futures?
Am I un-American if I spend, or if I save?
Cue Vinny Barbarino: I'm so confused.
Taxpayers are in for a surprise due to the expiration of the MWP tax credit in 2011. That will add $400/ single or $800 /couple to the tax due. The gas price hike and this overlooked item pretty much wipes out Obama's payroll tax cut extension.
Govt tranfer payments must rise to meet our basic needs. Born into the USA, I am entitiled to a basic living. Gasoline is required to get to work and back. Therefore the Govt must either cap/control its price and/or just take over the supply chain. Same with basic housing. As an American, I am entitled to basic housing - nothing fancy - just a basic roof over my head. And food, again just the basics, and the Michelle Obama diet is fine with me. Health care too, nothing fancy - just what our public servants in D.C. get. And since car insurance is required, the Govt must provide it just like they provide us the IRS to assist us with our required tax payments. And lastly, a job - a Govt job with Govt bennies and Govt pension - preferrably a union Govt job. And Warren Buffet can subsidize it all, and JPM, and GSax, all those rich Hollywood types, and the rich super athletes, and all those nice liberals who care about us all so much who I'm sure would be willing to make sure I'm well taken care of. And if all those contributions still aren't enough I'm sure Bennie & Da Boyz at Da Fed can just insert a few zeros on the right side of our checking account balances with a couple of keystrokes and mouse clicks, or finger swipes and taps on their iPads. Problem solved.

Personal Income Remains Anemic, Spending Flat, ISM Declines - Wait for Higher Gas Price Rises to Kick In!
The average American consumer doesn't know squat about economics, but they all understand the cost of gasoline at the pump. When gas prices spike, the consumer pulls back, end-of story. The same exact thing happened in April 2011. Until we have a Congress and President that will put an end to excessive commodity speculation this is going to keep happening over and over. To allow speculative traders to control the price of one our most strategic commodities is utter madness, if not criminal. If real unmanipulated markets existed, Demand/Supply and production costs indicate that oil should be trading somewhere between $60 and $80.
the high oil price effect is showing.
