With the economy continuing to falter and less than a year until the next presidential election, the effect of income taxes on economic growth and the need for income tax reform have become major campaign issues. Let's take a look at three of the top Republican contenders' stated plans for the U.S. tax system. (For more on the U.S. Tax system, read Understanding The U.S. Tax Withholding System.)
TUTORIAL: Economics Basics
Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Plan
Herman Cain proposes major changes to the current tax system. His 9-9-9 plan would replace the current tax system with three flat taxes: a 9% national sales tax, a 9% business tax and a 9% individual tax. The goal of his plan is to expand GDP, create jobs, increase wages and increase business investment. He also states that his plan would end the special-interest favors in the tax code.
This plan is not as simple as it might initially seem, because it still allows for a few adjustments in taxable income. For example, businesses would pay taxes on gross income less capital investments, net exports and purchases from other U.S. businesses, and individuals could still deduct charitable contributions from their income. His plan would also provide tax incentives to businesses and employees that locate and work in inner-city areas in need of renewal, which Cain calls Empowerment Zones.
The nonprofit Tax Policy Center states that because of the way the three 9% taxes interact with each other, Cain's plan is equivalent to a 25.38% national sales tax. The Tax Policy Center also estimates that the plan would raise about the same amount of revenue that the current tax code raises.
The tax burden under Cain's system would fall differently on households with different levels of income, because it is a flat tax, not a progressive tax like we currently have. Of course, our progressive tax system has not been successful in its goal of equitable taxation. A Tax Policy Center analysis shows that the plan would mean lower taxes for taxpayers with incomes of more than $200,000 (16% of taxpayers) and higher taxes for everyone else (84% of taxpayers). For example, taxpayers with incomes of $50,000 to $75,000 would see an average tax increase of $4,326 under Cain's plan. (For more on How your taxes are calculated, read How Your Tax Rate Is Determined.)
The plan would eliminate payroll taxes, creating a simpler and less bureaucratic system for both employers and employees. It would also eliminate the estate tax and capital gains taxes, and it would not tax business profits repatriated from overseas. Ultimately, Cain's plan would repeal the 16th Amendment, which gives Congress the "power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived."
Rick Perry's Optional 20% Flat Tax
Perry's "Cut, Balance and Grow" plan aims to lower and simplify taxes and reduce government spending to improve economic performance. His 20% flat tax option would phase in over eight years. During the phase-in period, Americans could choose to file their taxes under either the current system or the new system. After choosing the flat tax system once, taxpayers would have to continue using the flat tax system in subsequent years. Taxpayers could choose which system to use, meaning that no one would initially see a tax increase. However, if Perry allowed the Bush-era tax cuts to expire, taxpayers who benefited from those cuts might pay more.
Under Perry's 20% flat tax system, taxpayers earning less than $500,000 would retain the mortgage interest, charitable contribution and state and local income tax deductions, and see an increased standard deduction of $12,500 for each individual and dependent. All other deductions and credits would be eliminated. Perry says this system would make it possible for Americans to file their taxes on a postcard and would save taxpayers hundreds of billions in tax compliance costs.
Perry would also lower the corporate tax rate to 20%, with a temporary 5.25% rate to encourage the repatriation of overseas income. He would also reform the corporate tax system from a worldwide-based system that taxes income earned anywhere in the world to a territorial tax system that only taxes income in the country where it is earned. Business tax deductions would be similar to those under the current system.
Perry says the plan "phases out corporate loopholes and special-interest tax breaks." However, the mortgage interest tax deduction could be considered a special-interest tax break for the residential mortgage and construction industries. It encourages Americans to do more business with these groups than they otherwise might by lowering the cost of having a mortgage.
Perry says he will eliminate the estate tax and the taxes on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains. He also wants to privatize Social Security for younger workers. Balancing the budget by 2020 and capping federal spending at 18% of GDP are also components of Perry's plan.
The Tax Policy Center states that the Perry plan would dramatically reduce federal tax revenues. However, because Perry also intends to dramatically cut government spending, the reduced revenues wouldn't be a problem. (For more on Flat Tax, read Should The U.S. Switch To A Flat Tax?)
Mitt Romney's 10% Corporate Tax Reduction Plus Lower Taxes On Savings and Investments
Romney's tax proposals are minor, compared to Cain's and Perry's. In fact, his campaign website contains almost no mention of taxes, other than a video clip from an Iowa State Fair campaign rally where he claims that he won't raise taxes. His "Believe in America Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth," a 160-page document available at MittRomney.com, also does not provide many specifics about taxes. Though we know where he stands on most major tax issues, he hasn't provided the level of detail about his tax policy agenda that Perry and Cain have.
Romney would make the Bush tax cuts permanent and eliminate taxes on interest, capital gains and dividends for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes below $200,000. He would also cut the corporate tax rate to 25% and give a tax holiday to repatriated corporate profits. Like Perry, he supports moving to a territorial tax system for corporations.
Like the other Republican candidates, Romney would repeal the estate tax and the Affordable Care Act taxes. Also like Perry, Romney supports a balanced budget amendment. Romney proposes capping government spending at 20% of GDP as opposed to Perry's 18%.
As stated in his Believe in America plan, Romney would keep the current marginal tax rates, but pursue a "flatter, fairer, simpler" structure for the tax system in the long term. However, he does not provide specifics about what this long-term plan would entail. He refers to it as a "conservative overhaul" with "lower and flatter rates on a broader tax base."
The Bottom Line
There are many tax-reform proposals on the table, and a national discussion about the pros and cons of various tax policies and their effect on economic growth is certainly a worthwhile pursuit. Taxes consume a large percentage of many of our incomes and current rates of government spending are unsustainable without tax increases and/or spending cuts. It will be interesting to see whether any Republican candidate's tax plan proves a deciding factor in his or her nomination, and whether those campaign promises will become reality if a Republican wins the 2012 election.

Known for its nourishing qualities, argan oil is the hair care ingredient of the moment.
It's the go-to stuff for damaged hair and the key ingredient in the super popular hair oil.
But what's the story behind the wonder product?
The oil is traditionally collected from the rare argan tree seeds by Berber women, extracting it in a time-consuming process.
However, an increase in demand in the early 1990s made entrepreneurs from France, Switzerland and Morocco use mechanical expeller presses, sourcing the argan seeds from open market, with little quality control or knowledge about the argan seeds.
The Berbers were denigrated to mere suppliers of argan seeds and only a small portion of the proceeds of argan oil sales benefited them.
The companies using the argan oil still often try to give the impression that their argan oil is produced by Berber women.
Eventually, Berber women – encouraged by Moroccan authorities - started to set up cooperatives and invest in mechanical equipment to be able to compete with the private oil presses.
But some groups went a different route and opted to keep the tradition of producing argan oil by hand alive.
The hand crafted oil is believed to be more potent than the mechanical crafted oil, as only the best seeds are used and since the seeds are processed immediately after removing the shell thus minimising oxidation of the exposed seeds.
If you're interested in using this premium argan oil, look for the Argand'Or mark.
However not always necessary for hair care, gourmet chefs and health food aficionados should go for the original, hand crafted argan oil because of nutritional benefits.

I've mentioned on Twitter a few times that Bee sleeps through the night, and a few of you have asked for tips on how this miraculous event has occurred. I will say that this is the one area Bee has always excelled in, as she started sleeping through the night at six weeks. (My theory is that she burned up all of her energy screaming at us during the daytime, so she really had no choice but to crash at night.) I will also say what everyone says: every baby is different, so do what you will with these tips. They've helped tremendously for us, so I can only hope they'll do the same for you!:
1. Swaddle.
Oh man, Bee loves to be swaddled. The Miracle Blanket is the most, well, miraculous invention in the world. Trust me on this one – it looks like a straightjacket but acts like a straight-up lifesaver when it comes to soothing your baby to sleep. The tighter, the better, and I hear that men are better at swaddling than women. So gals – give the baby to your husband and make yourself a bowl of ice cream, OK?
UPDATE: Bee transitioned from The Miracle Blanket to a sleep sack once she started using her hands to self-soothe and learned to roll over (around 3 months). We were anxious to see if the lack of swaddling would make a difference, and luckily, she still slept her usual 8-10 hours straight. (This sleep sack is amazing – super breathable but with a bit of weight to it.) So, if your baby doesn't love to be swaddled, a sleep sack is a fantastic alternative. Also – I realize that swaddles can get pricey, but in my opinion, this is worth a serious investment. Sleeping babies = sleeping mamas, right?
2. Sound machine.
Our sound machine malfunctioned when Bee was 2 days old, so we used a white noise app on our phone until we made it to the store for a replacement. The original wasn't in stock, so we picked up this one instead, which offered a projector and is also the most amazing thing in the world. We used the projector when we transitioned Bee to her crib (around 6 weeks) and she's loved watching it as she falls asleep ever since. (We also turn on the 'lullaby' option because I can't carry a tune!)
3. Temperature.
Our home is pretty warm (78 degrees) most of the time, and her nursery is well-insulated. We also be sure to dress her in long-sleeved pajamas with footies every night just in case she breaks free from her swaddle. (Polarn O. Pyret has some super great pjs that are cozy and adorable!)
4. Routine.
We start getting Bee ready for bed anywhere between 7-9pm, depending on her signals (she's a pretty obvious eye-rubber!). As soon as she gives us her "sleepy sign," we head back to the nursery for a diaper change, turn on the projector/lullaby sound machine and swaddle her. I then nurse her (I only nurse her in her room at night, so she's beginning to associate that this means bedtime!) until she falls asleep. She always, always wakes up when I transition her from the rocking chair to the crib, so this is why the projector is particularly handy to soothe her back to sleep. (Note: Sometimes this takes 2-3 tries before she falls asleep for good, and until she's a bit older, we're fine with bedtime taking 30 minutes or so.)
A few more tips:
-I'd read somewhere that a common mistake many parents make is to try to keep their baby awake, alert and active during the day (sometimes skipping naps) in an effort to tucker them out enough to sleep through the night. We noticed the opposite: if Bee has had an exceptionally busy day and hasn't napped well, she generally doesn't sleep well because she's overly tired. So, we tend to keep her on a pretty basic schedule with plenty of naps during the day. (Secrets of the Baby Whisperer has a great adaptable schedule that we swear by!)
-I have a fast milk flow that makes nursing frustrating for Bee, so when she was a bit younger, I'd pump and give her a bottle at night so she could eat slowly and calmly. This helped tremendously, because she could eat more before becoming frustrated, thus "tanking up" for the night.
-I've heard great things about bathtime before bed, but Bee hates baths, so we cut that out of our bedtime routine. Try to find an activity that your baby finds calming (i.e. reading, lullabies or a baby massage after a diaper change) and incorporate those into your routine instead.
-Bee also doesn't enjoy pacifiers, so she uses her hands to self-soothe. This is perfect for the nights she sometimes wakes up around midnight – she stirs, but we wait for her to find her hands and then she falls back asleep, sucking away! If you can, work on self-soothing sans pacifier during the day so baby can practice!
Any tips you seasoned mothers can add to the mix? I'd love to hear, and good luck to all of your sleep-deprived mothers out there! Until you have a sleep routine mastered, might I recommend some caffeine-free secrets in the mean time?

Your tastes change during pregnancy. Outside of pregnancy I don't like mangos or chocolate. Now I crave chocolate and enjoy mangos and other fruits I normally don't. Also foods I normally love like mexican food and banana peppers for example make me sick. Welcome to the beggining of motherhood :Dposted 07/06/2012 by emimendoza
I was the same way at that time. I had hardly any appetite and assumed I would get morning sickness and didn't want to vomit, so I didn't eat anything but toast, applesauce and easy to digest foods. My husband was really concerned and when we discussed it with the doctor, she insisted I eat small, more frequent meals (or snacks).

Best cheaper alternative to Gitzo Traveller tripod
I am looking for cheaper alternative of Gitzo Traveller tripod.
If money were no subject I would buy GK2580TQR. The most important parameter for me is compactness, particularly folded length around 17", 7kg load capacity and low weight.
However, I am not prepared to spent $640+ for a tripod. My budget is max $350 (excl. ball-head).
Also do you know if the GK2580TQR can be purchased without the ball-head? I've spent hours on Gitzo pages and found no other tripod that can be folded down to 16.9".

Aww, thank you haha. I've added a beak since posting that drawing, to avoid more confusion involving the wing.
I also recently realized that none of these have shiny versions. Would you guys be cool with me trying my hand at recoloring some finished sprites to make them shiny? I have a decent amount of practice, but I can post an example. I of course am not trying to claim right to recolor them all / design all of the shinies! I just thought it would be a fun way to contribute. [:
I can't think of a good signature.

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Thanks for the quick response Patrick. As a follow up question, what about the years previous to 2005 of which I do not have records but know that I had given up at least a week for the previous 5 years? How do I prove that or is the burden of proof on the employer?
Ted,Thank you very much for your reply. Labor Code 1174 requires employers to maintain payroll records going back three years. If your employer failed to keep such records and your claim pertained only to accrued vacation earned during that period of time, the burden would fall on them to prove that your vacation wasn't earned.However, if an employer complies with their record keeping obligations and/or the claim for unpaid vacation extends beyond three years, the employee bears the burden of proof as they would in any other civil action."Proof" can take a number of different forms and is not strictly limited to physical documents. If you can show that it was your employer's common practice to provide a certain number of vacation days, or if you can point to more recent records, emails, or letters which reference pre-2005 vacation, that would be admissible. Of course your personal testimony is admissible as well, as is the testimony of current and former employees. All these things are relevant and the question as to precisely how much vacation you have accrued is a question of fact for a judge or jury to decide in conisderation of all the evidence.Please let me know if I can provide any further clarification. It will be my sincere pleasure to do so if necessary.

Are US Fiscal Issues Really Over?
Despite the recent sharp narrowing in the U.S. federal budget deficit, the U.S. fiscal policy outlook carries financial stability risks, driven by three factors (aacording to the OFR - aka, The Treasury). First, a rapid pace of deficit reduction carries economic costs. Second, a clear resolution of the nation's long-term fiscal challenges is still lacking. Finally, the political process for implementing sustainable fiscal adjustments has become more uncertain.
(click for large legible version)
Chart: Goldman Sachs
But this substantial fiscal adjustment carries two risks. First, it has created a fiscal drag on an economy that remains weak. Second, it creates an extra burden on other policy levers to support the economy. A policy mix that keeps short-term interest rates and unconventional monetary policy tools in place for an extended period potentially increases future risks to financial stability, whether through excessive risk-taking in credit markets or through volatility and interest rate shocks.
Delays in addressing long-term challenges could have longer-term, and potentially permanent, adverse financial stability consequences.
While everyone is still bleating over the success' of the budget deal (despite its betrayal), the next few months have plenty of potential mines for fiscal fragility.

Likely no. Though the inflation game is now on and Fed, depsite the "tapir"; is clearly worried about deflation. How much more QE is left? likely more than most academics are willing to admit because in the end their compensation is tied to pushing their employer's views.
Like killing FASB, eliminating ceilings and government limits removes all 'issues'.....brilliant why didn't we do this before? Oh wait
"Delays in addressing long-term challenges could have longer-term, and potentially permanent, adverse financial stability consequences."
I've been hearing this for 20 years. It's like the weather. Everyone complains about it, nobody does anything about it.
This is the path we are committed to. All levers have been pushed into the "run until failure" position. No going back now. Any attempt to fix it by rational means will only hasten it's failure. And everyone knows it.
They didn't actually "cut" anything, just raised taxes to close the deficit. So, no not over, just beginining.
not true at all. we have had a massive austerity in the USA that is only coming to light right now. No Syria, no ACA. Now the Fed pulls the trigger on "taper which is not tightening." hmmmm. so if QE is stimulus how is "taper not tightening"? because "I sez so"? REALLY? I think we'll see an outright deflation scare hit us in the coming days or weeks. Prepare accordingly.
"we have had a massive austerity in the USA that is only coming to light right now. No Syria,"
You might want to look up something called baseline budgeting before you write something as idiotic as this. Austerity? You've got to be kidding. NOT A SINGLE DOLLAR has been cut from the budget in total. This is a fact or arithmetic. The only thing that has happened is the increase in tax revenue and the short term follover of debt in a zero interest environment thus lowering the debt payments through interest rate and closing a bit of the DEFICIT through higher tax income. Same as it was during the later Bush years WITH THE RECORD TAX INCOME and during the Clinton years when they began this nonsense and actualy had the gall to announce a surplus.
Has the 17+ trillion gone down. No. Because we do not make payments on the principle. Never have in my lifetime. Never will.
Perhaps the most idotic part of the whole post is this deflation fear and the idea that government profligacy and proerty confiscation (taxes to all you statist assholes) somehow is the source of economic prosperity. Sure it is to some. I think folks use the term "the 1%". Probably a lot less than that since in reality only the zombie financial field really gets the behefit. without QE, TARP, and the Fed and its hand in deficit spending the Goldmans JPs Bof As of the world would be dead and gone several years ago.
And as we all know we can't have that.
We don't really need a whole post on this, do we? We're still running a deficit, and projected to do so, increasingly, in the future. Of course we still have fiscal issues.
The government has agreed that they will never cut anything. When politicians act like it's the Apocalypse when discussing trivial fractions of one percent cuts to the budget and no agreement can be made on those cuts, it is safe to assume that government spending and FED money printing to finance the deficits will continue on to perpetuity.
Anyway, just continue to stack and when you are with your family and friends this week just take a moment to appreciate the time you have with them because things might start to unravel this coming year.
Merry Christmas Zerohedgers!
"Despite the recent sharp narrowing in the U.S. federal budget deficit,..."
Of course, I missed the 'sarc' tag here (call me STUPID).
The Federal debt (see 'deficit' for legal terms as MONEY OWED to another or others; the difference between monies on-hand and monies spent; or, for the simpler concept, the balance on the national Credit Card) is now 'officially' just over $17.4 trillion. That's TRILLION, with a 'T'.
I presume that this article statement describes the DROP in the RISE of this debt/deficit (otherwise known in FedSpeak as 'Look in my right hand, over here! Pay NO attention to my LEFT hand! There's another one born every minute!).
Gee, silly ME. it DOESN'T.
IT holds the bullshit line that the 'deficit' has 'sharply narrowed' or some hyperbolic non-sequitor BULLSHIT that 'economist' fucks like to use as 'official terminology' do describe an ever-RISING debt/defecit/'whatthehellareweborrowingmoretogivetotheFSAfor' (because we HAVE to keep SPENDING more than we have, BUT, see, we raised taxes...).
I remember the time when Social security receipts were NOT counted in the 'general fund' as 'income' to these pricks in D.C....right before CLINTON' left office with a so-called 'BALANCED BUDGET' using them...
There is no narrowing of the deficit at all, one of the Tylers is just plain wrong here. It's rare to have to point this out here, but better research was needed.
Total debt at the end of the last fiscal year on September 30- $16,738,184,000,000
Total debt as of today-$17,250,434,606,937
That's $512 billion deficit in not even three full months of the current fiscal year, is is not narrowing by any stretch of the imagination. Additional taxation isn't slowing anything down, the deficit is actually accelerating again so far this year.
Anyone who looks at Clinton's numbers can also see that there never was a balanced budget unless it is somehow possible to increase debt under a balanced budget, pure lies.
No dude these guys actually BELIEVE this shit. Throw around a bunch of government supplied numbers shake, strain into a coktail glass and enjoy!
Good point about the SS thing. I forgot that one. Kinda like how the folks that have "left the workforce" aren't counted as unemployed and therefore actually help the official rate decline. I nelive there is a ZH post out there which runs numbers on the current rate of workforce decline that if held contant will give us 0% umemployment by the 2016 inaugeration of POTUS.
Can't wait for that headline.
Yes, we have clearly turned a corner thanks to George Bush, Barack Obama and Ben Bernanke. Their tireless efforts to save us from the most spectacular recession in modern history have paid, and will continue to pay, great dividends........
-The 1%-
deficit reduction will never happen in any country where people like free shit.
Red herring. The deficit is going up because our debt based Ponzi scheme of a monetary system needs to be fueled by ever increasing issuance of debt.
Someone forwarded me this intel today...
Iran Plans to Launch an Electro-Magnetic Pulse Nuclear War Against the US
The U.S. Gov is planning a grid down test scenario toward the beginning of the new year. That could open the door to all sorts of interesting happenings. Who knows.......
In the real world, announcments like this are called 'BEX ALERTS'.
I suppose they are now only MONTHS or WEEKS away from perfecting their weapon!
Hale-Bopp SHALL return! (sarc!, snark!)
Jonestown, Guayana IS the source of the expression 'drink the Kool-Aid' (true story).
Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran!

Go back to sleep.
They won't come till morning.
Early morning.
They (THEM, the 'NO-KNOCK RAIDERS') usually come at about 25 (or 6) to four (in the morning), right about the time when the 'smart meters' begin to transmit their data (or, the time when most humans have entered their deepest dream state and are the most difficult to arouse, according to studies published by the CIA, Stanford, the California University system, and the affiliates in Russia and olde 'nazi Germany').
You KNOW I'm right about this 'conspiracy theory' postulate, don't you?
They call it 'predictive programming', 'knuckles' (AKA 'Zippy The Pinhead').
Yeah, RIGHT!
YOU thought it was about methamphetimines, didn't you?
It was actually a very large 'underground' hit, by the band 'Chicago'. In fact, it was THE song that put them on the 'top whatever Hollywood chartopia' thingie, back in the day.
It was a WARNING (Of course, don't do drugs, silly people...) of the times and places that those who think themselves 'immune' will be summarily treated to such as has NEVER been wrought in all the history of mankind...about 3:30 in the morning...
When is that fucking Blackrock ad going away so I can read a ZH article?
'What to I do with What do I do wi What do I doWhat doIWha...with 'my' MONEY?'
Oh, the violin strings, and the hope of a 'new promise'...
(of course, thre's always that upper-right-hand box with the 'X' on it, so that the ad will finally go away...and the 'volume' control thingie on your (name the internet device in the following empty space: ).
You shall NOT ESCAPE!
Is yellen so fat that it takes her two trips to haul ass?

The ones on her face, or the ones that hang from her hips?
Frigging DEUCE AND A HALF, FOUR TIMES! Rev 'em up, and move 'em out, boys...
Hold on, I'm trying to find the Merrill Lynch "Special Needs Calculator".......
Every time I try to power up my 'Merrill Lynch' special promotional series limited edition' ('special needs' is so raycist in this day and age!) calculator/Foxxcom Ipod, it keeps playing an old television commercial:
'Merrill Lynch. Bullshit on America.'
Then, the worst part: It starts automatically replaying old sitcom reruns of 'Happy Days', interspersed with advertisments from Mutual Of Omaha...
The worst part is that they have jumped the shark, even in the Wild Kingdom.
WHAT was the name of Marlin Perkins' sidekick?
WHICH day of the week was 'The Wild Kingdom' broadcasted on?
WHAT television show immediately followed it?
WHAT television network aired this in the CONUS?
(The FIRST question is a 'trick question', because ol' Marlin had SEVERAL 'sidekicks')
(The THIRD question's answer has to do with some dude named 'Walt', and a defunct Orange grove east of Los Angeles, that he turned in to a 'wonderful world')
The WORST part is that I actually might know the answers to these questions, even though my parents were too cheap to buy a 'new color television'. What has been done already is original, and everything that followed from this point is merely a repeat, a carbon-copy. That twit in Australia was merely IMITATING 'The Wild Kingdom' (as far as 'jumping the shark' or whatever).
Jamie Dimon is as Morgan WAS, and Madoff is as Ponzi WAS. Warburg WAS, but Bernanke tried to be (and failed miserably). Look at the Choomer-in-chief...HE wanted to be the frigging BLACK JACK [KENNEDY] (Allah bless this poor gay mulatto Soetoro self, peas be upon him).
Now, CHENEY...HE does a good imitation of Il Duce (despite his battery-powered and web-vulnerable electronic machine heart), and KISSINGER...well, HE is a pretty good imitation of fucking SATAN...but THEY can NEVER hope to be as good as their mentors were...
But, I digress...
The deficit this year is over 525 billion dollars and its day 83 of this fiscal year. How is this under control?
I can't BELEIVE you could actually ASK this question, without looking at all the 'emergency expenditures', Gutenberg!
The 'government shutdown' was AVERTED, the SNAP charges at Walmart-USA were COVERED, the Obamacare website is a COMPLETE SUCCESS (now costing over one BILLION of your figure), and, of course, we ALL have ONE MORE DAY to sign up for fascist taxation insurance fraud (can you even IMAGINE how much it costs to keep the site open for 24 hours? One hour? One MINUTE? One SECOND? I mean, it's like looking at the 'debt clock' and trying to keep up with the small numbers (the ones to the RIGHT of the two commas)!
EASY 500 billion!
Say, can you answer this question:
What's in YOUR wallet? (how about, 'where the fuck is your wallet, plebe? Give it to me!')
Oh, those like you 'questioning domestic economic terrorists' are, of course, needing a little 're-education'...
(SARC comment!)
"the last time interest rates were this low was 1945." hmmmm. 1945. Let's see...yep! definitely a small Government year!
As long as we can print money at will and everybody agrees that it is money - then there are no fiscal issues.
The minute that people decide that our "money" isn't worth shit, the entire charade falls apart in the blink of an eye.
The problem is, all the Fed has to do is make sure we are the best smelling shitty diaper in the tub. Until the Euro, the Ruble or the Yuan starts smelling better than the dollar - nothing will change.
All I can do is keep buying silver, one ounce at a time and stack it for my son.
Government Double Speak: The government accounting assumes an increased budget spending each year. So, if the budget spending minus expected revenues is below their prior assumed increase, they call that savings. The budget deal only has projected savings over ten years with the projected reductions and projected tax revenues to occur in later years. It's like a drunk promising to give up drinking in two years and be sober in ten. They have to hit bottom before there is an hope for a change.
All hail. One hundred years of the Third Central Bank of the United States. It's birth 100 years ago tonight. Thank you Rothchild, Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg and especially good old Woody (Peck's bad boy) for signing it into life December 23, 1913. Thank you for great wars and total wars, depressions, distortions, lies and the extermination of so many Europeans. Couldn't help myself.....
Fiscal is over.
We are all bitcoin now.
You have to go to foreign newspapers to get any sense of reality. I can't wait to see how the MSM bullshits their way out of these figures. Americans stay home as Christmas store traffic drops 21pc
"we're gonna need a bigger boat."
well thats only moderately bullish, ES will probably only be up another 20 points this week.
if 95% get brain washed about the economy, gov debt, fiat, the wisdom of our leaders, then those 5% doubters are sick and need to be medicated for their own good. the Recovery is here now, unemployment is dropping GDP is expanding, debt and QE are being cut. now feel good, and start buying cause we are in good hands.
Virtual is in. Fiscal is out.
Fraud is god. But what's it all about.
defaults would be the order of the day had TPTB not intervened. now the debt time bombs are in slumber, lulled by printing soon all kinds of hell will break loose your eArnings will collapse in value the system is FUBAR
so what be the answer

By Russ Stanton
There is a part of Alabama affected by the tornadoes that hasn't hit the mainstream news that much. Tallapoosa and Elmore Counties were physically isolated from the majorly reported damage in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham by about 100 miles. But, 6 tornadoes, a combination of F-3 and F-4 strength, touched down there wreaking their destruction onto these sleepy communities. They killed 7 out the 236 currently reported casualties in Alabama. They also destroyed property that in some cases can never be restored.
The storms were so strong that they tore up gravestones, snapped trees like twigs and flattened some houses and a church beyond recognition.
These communities are right on Lake Martin, a 44,000-acre lake with over 750 miles of wooded shoreline and once the largest man-made lake in the world.
The tornadoes hopped highway 63 causing some damage to Children's Harbor, a retreat for terminally ill children, and then sped across the lake to hit many waterfront neighborhoods and luxury homes located on the lake.
Fortunately, Children's Harbor was between visitations.
The fact that these people were so far from the main press attention really doesn't mean that much to folks in these parts. However, even after almost 2 weeks, the destruction is still the topic of conversations in the beauty parlors, convenience stores and bait shops, transcending even Bin Laden's death.
But despite the damage to this somewhat isolated area, the people here see Alabama as one state, and even the notorious Alabama – Auburn rivalry can't keep people from helping out. Tuscaloosa, by the way, is the home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, and while the campus wasn't hit, the entire town of Tuscaloosa is devastated.
As an ESPN article called it, "its not a rivalry, that's Ohio State – Michigan. Alabama-Auburn is a holy war." It's true, that from birth, children learn to say "War Eagle" or "Roll Tide", before they can say Mommy or Daddy.
Elmore and Tallapoosa Counties are only 30 minutes from Auburn, and Auburn flags are much more in abundance than Crimson Tide Flags in these parts. Despite the damage here, Auburn Coach Gene Chizik and about 70 followers, some from the damaged areas of Lake Martin, boarded buses and traveled to Tuscaloosa to help in the relief effort no matter what was needed. About 37 Alabama National Guardsmen from Tallapoosa County also dispatched to help squash looting that was occurring in those areas.
In addition, a Toomer's for Tuscaloosa (Tide) fund was created to help the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham areas with relief donations.
For those who don't know, Toomer's Corner is the legendary site of oak trees, on the Auburn campus, that are toilet papered after every Auburn win, and its been a tradition for almost a century.
An Alabama fan, although fans won't accept him, poisoned the trees a few months ago, was arrested, and Alabama fans were so outraged that they started a "Tide for Toomer's" fund to help replant or save the trees, an outreach that brought a tear even to hardened Auburn fans.
Coach Chizik and Alabama coach Nick Saban stood together at Radio City Music Hall last Thursday as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stood with them in a moment of silence for the tornado victims. Auburn's Cam Newton and Nick Fairley and Alabama's Marcell Dareus, Mark Ingram, and Julio Jones joined them.
On the "Toomer's for Tuscaloosa" website, Pam Crawley wrote, "We will move mountains to help each other. We are family, father, mother, sister and brother. Thank God we live in such a great state. Where people give their all no matter what it takes."
Alabama will rebound with a cohesive spirit that moves beyond troubles, devastation and loss, and as we mark the 2-week anniversary of the tornadoes that ravaged the state, its good to know that the spirit does transcend all that.

Sitting Down With Marnie Dacko
Nov. 18, 2002
On April 11, 2002, Marnie Dacko was introduced to the media at a Mullins Center press conference as the ninth head coach in the 34-year history of the Massachusetts women's basketball program. Instead of coming in and rebuilding the team like is often the scenario when a new coaching staff takes over, Dacko inherits a squad with seven seniors and no true freshmen. Judit Zsedenyi, a transfer from Cottey (Mo.) Junior College, will join the team this year, as will Ashley Sharpton, a sophomore from the University of North Carolina Asheville. While Zsedeni will play this season, Sharpton, a member of the Big South All-Rookie team a year ago, will be forced to sit out per NCAA transfer rules. With all five starters from last season back, including second team All-Conference and All-Defensive team selection Jennifer Butler, the future is now and the Minutewomen are looking make a major push for the 2002-03 Atlantic 10 title. Earlier this month, the Maroon and White sat down with the new leader to see just how Dacko's Minutewomen are preparing for the fast-approaching season.
M&W: When you sat down with your team at the beginning of practice, what goals did you lay out for them?
M&W: What is the Marnie Dacko style?
M&W: In the first 22 games last year, UMass went 6-12 and averaged just 55.2 points per game. Then, the Minutewomen opened it up near the end of the season, winning six of their final eight games, averaging 63.9 points per contest. Do you believe this kind of an up-tempo game can work with this team?
M&W: How do you approach inheriting a team with seven seniors, no true freshman and having to put off the rebuilding process?
M&W: Why did you decide to apply for the head coaching position at UMass?
M&W: When you go out recruiting, how do you sell the University and your program?
M&W: Last year, they ended on a very positive note; winning six of its last eight games and losing a heart-breaker in overtime of the A-10 semifinal. With the A-10 Tournament shifting to the Ryan Center on Rhode Island's campus and the prospects of hosting the title game, do you believe this year's team has the capability to reach the next level?

Isles of Shoals, NH, kind of a strange place.
08/05/2011, Cape Ann, MA
On the way to Isles of Shoals, we pass Cape Ann at Gloucester, MA, home of the the best fish sticks known to all children raised in the 50's. Well, I loved them anyway.
08/05/2011, Bethel, ME
We are settling in to my mom's house in Bethel. Once we moored in Portland
Harbor, we ferried Landon to shore so he could take a cab to the train station
where he left our car when he met us in Mystic. The drive up to Bethel was brief and uneventful (90 minutes). Luna was delighted to see her old friend Toyota Highlander and is enjoying getting to know her cousin Bella (my brother's dog) and having grass to roll in at mom's. The weather here is perfect; no humidity, temperatures in high 70's and low 80's, everything in full
bloom and looking healthy.
Our week sailing with Landon was really great and we will really miss having him when we get back on Skylark, but for now, we are glad to be here with family. Ed has some work to do on the boat, maybe tomorrow, and I'll go down next week to give her a thorough cleaning. Mom and sister Nancy Jo will hopefully sail with us for a couple of days next week and brother Jon might do a day sail with Ed before that.
Before the blog goes on vacation, we'll download photos from Isles of Shoals.
08/02/2011, Chesapeake Bay, MD
View from the home we stayed at in Maryland--just beautiful
08/02/2011, Scituate, MA
Enjoy the photos, which aren't in the exact order they should be, but it's all I can manage at the moment. We have had a great time with Landon who is a fine sailor and therefore a huge help to us. We're having a good visit with my 86 year old Aunt Nancy (doesn't she look like a spring chicken?) and cousins. Ed is on the boat today fixing our bilge pump (needs a new backflow preventer), Landon and I are underneath a ceiling fan on my Aunt's porch working on computers and staying cool. We leave early tomorrow morning for Isles of Shoals, NH. Portland, ME by Thursday and Bethel by Friday.

In an indication of changing political equations in Maharashtra, Republican Party of India (RPI) has joined hands with several Maratha organisations to demand inclusion of the community in the OBC category.
Leaders of Maratha organisations, including Chhava and Maratha Seva Sangh, and RPI met state industries minister Narayan Rane Saturday.
They threatened a state-wide agitation if the demand was not met by January 26.
Thousands of Marathas are not getting their due in education and employment. We want the state to recommend to the Centre their inclusion among OBCs, RPI leader Ramdas Athawale said.
The politically powerful Maratha community, to which 50 per cent of elected representatives in the state belong, has been demanding OBC status for long.
Mandal Commission listed it as a forward community. Marathas, however, claim economic growth of the community has slowed and many young members are not getting jobs. They are demanding 25 per cent reservation in jobs.
Because of the economic and educational status, many Maratha youth are turning militant. If our demand for reservation is not met, we will not allow politicians to move around the state, founder president of Chhava Anna Jawle Patil said.
Alarmed at the flexing of political muscle by a slew of Maratha politicians, the state appointed a one-man committee under Rane earlier this month to see how the Centre could be persuaded to include the community in the OBC category.
Patil and Athawale said Rane promised to look into their demands in a positive way.
Meanwhile, the alliance of RPI and Maratha groups has set tongues wagging as their leaders have fought pitched battles in the past in parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha.

ICT should be the way forward for SMEs
'Need to simplify technology and do away with jargons to help SMEs understand ICT better' – this was echoed by industry experts at the 4th Conference on ICT for SMEs - Taking to the Cloud, Pay for what you need organised by IndiaMART.com and IAMAI.
The conference helped SMEs gauge the potential of cloud and connected them to this new emerging technology. The panellists, representing different fields of ICT, brought forward their perspectives to demystify the move to cloud for SMEs.
With encouraging words from the Chief Guest Mr. N Ravi Shanker, Additional Secretary, Department of Information Technology, Government of India, the conference was off to a flying start. Relating ICT for SMEs to the cable TV era, he shared how the latter was seen as a harbinger of change. It required subscription on monthly basis to view different channels. Similarly, Indian SMEs should be paying only for those services that they require or use.
Mr. N K Goyal, President, CMAI Association of India and Member Governing Council, Telecom Equipment & Services Export Promotion Council, Govt. of India moderated the inaugural session. Mr. Dinesh Agarwal, Founder & CEO, IndiaMART.com recalled how for last 20 years, IT has transformed the country. He added, "It is important to make technology invisible for SMEs. Only if we simplify it for SMEs, they would pro-actively use for their own businesses." Mr. Desi Valli, Executive Director & COO, Net 4 India Ltd. also laid stress on use of ICT by SMEs.
During the event there were important issues discussed which focused on how SMEs can grow further with minimum overhead costs.

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Will Be Available on UK's Google Play
It just got a little easier for those in the UK to watch episodes of Game of Thrones.
Google has reached a deal with HBO to make GoT available for download in the Google Play store in the UK, along with other HBO shows including Veep, Boardwalk Empire, and True Blood, along with older shows in HBO's stable such as The Sopranos and The Wire.
The deal is viewed as a major coup for Google over rival Apple, whose iTunes store does not have the rights to stream the popular Game of Thrones in Britain despite streaming other HBO shows.
HBO's director of international digital distribution, Colin Smith, says, "We are delighted to bring our wide range of programming to Google Play in the UK, and expand on our existing relationship in the US. This is an exciting time for HBO in the digital space and we can't wait to work with Google over the coming weeks and months to deliver all of our series and films to their platform, including a host of new and returning HBO shows throughout 2014."
All three seasons of GoT will be available on the Google Play store in the UK starting next week, while the US version of Google Play only offers the first two seasons. Lucky blokes.

"There are so few American films that use sex in a complicated way," says Shortbus director John Cameron Mitchell on a recent weekday afternoon at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown. "Either it's porn, which has its own value, or it's a kind of clichéd European art film where the sex is always associated with negativity." What Shortbus strives to do, says Mitchell, "is reattach [sex] to emotion, reattach it to ideas, politics, humor, all of the things that are attached to it in real life. Don't limit yourself to thinking of explicit sex in film as porn, because explicit sex in your own life is not just porn."

A bohemian-perfumed celebration of love, sex and connecting in a post-9/11 Manhattan, Shortbus is this season's indie knockout. And it was Mitchell's promise of hardcore sex to supply momentum to his story that got Shortbus rolling.
"The film would never have been financed…without the explicit sex," he admits, conceding that "even though it was hard for us to get the money because of the explicit sex."
No traditional U.S. financing sources would touch the project. "They all wanted to see it. They were like, 'I can't wait to see a film like this. But we can't do that — we have a parent company to think about.' They were worried about what could happen. 'What if there's a boycott?"'
Mitchell raised the $2 million needed, half of it from foreign sources. While the notoriety has helped fuel the box office take, Mitchell has his eye on future tech as the real moneymaker: "This is the perfect film for the [online downloading] venue."
Mitchell, who is gay, admits to joining in on the fun during one of the film's orgy scenes. "The actors said 'If we're gonna do it, you gotta try something.' So I eat pussy in one shot — which I had never done before." He grins. "So you can watch for the back of my head."

MEGIDDO, Israel -- The Book of Revelation says the biblical fortress of Armageddon will be the site of an apocalyptic battle between good and evil at the end of time. Scientists believe it could also be the place where time begins -- at least for archaeology.
Mery Christmas, and may your new year be blessed with armageddon.
What? No? On second thought maybe that's a bad thing to wish for?
Depends which side you are on and by your sarcasm you just might be on the wrong side.
I suppose I'm on the side of not wishing for global conflagration in which my suposed enemies are tormented for eternity.
And You? Looking forward to it, smug in your certainty that you are on the side that gets to watch?
You have an odd conflation of jingoism and metaphysics which seems to inform your "thought", as well as a bloodlust that knows not even the boundaries of the Old Testament.
and the joy of the season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!
Here's that chart regarding the tax cuts:
Oh, and Merry Christmas to you, too!
The chart was put in a format so to be readily understandable, but if it conflicts with your ideology or the popular rhetoric to such an extent that you can't read it, I'll try to find another graphic.
Just let me know,
Looks like those earning over the $200,000- $250,000 would have received a tax cut under any plan, which is precisely the opposite of what you were led to believe by whatever spinning sources you look to for factual information.
Please be aware that the dispensational premillennialist viewpoint is a minority theory within the Christian Church though it is taken as Gospel by most American "evangelicals."
And I suppose it's a win/win for all since those who pretend to care about the debt don't really care about the debt so much as they care about extravagant extra tax cuts for their wealthiest peers.
They led you to believe that the threshold of 200-250 k would punish the rich, you believed it, and they accomplished their goal by dumbing you down.
And I'm sure you are mad at me for pointing that out, LOL.
Excellent article here on the background of the original Tea Party:
I see you are one of those suppose clarivoyants that thinks they know what other people are thinking.
Just out of curosity what did you base your statement on about, "that the dispensational premillennialist viewpoint is a minority theory within the Christian Church."
When I posted that it was for the story about archaeology findings at the site. You will notice the headline says, "Armageddon Fortress May Hold Keys to History". I suspect you and others failed to read the story and jumped to conclusions that I was bringing up a story about the battle of Armageddon and Bible prophecy.
No, I read the story in its entirety. What I base my statement on is a Catholic and Orthodox rejection of dispensational premillennialim. These two communions together constitute about fifty-eight percent of the world's Christians, which would make dispensationalism a minority viewpoint even if all Protestants embraced it, which they certainly do not. It is largely rejected by the Anglican and Presbyterian communions, and by many Methodists as well. Of the remaining Protestants who profess dispensational premillennialism, only the Southern Baptists go back beyond about 1900. The majority of the groups in this country of the dispensatinalist viewpoint are those holiness churches that came into being in the twentieth century and the non-denominationalist churches that have been founded in the last half century. The dispensationlist theory itself dates only back to about 1840 and one John Nelson Darby. It is a relatively recent arrival on the eschatological scent, and it is very much a minority viewpoint.
Your information is very well presented and factual. I am not trying to be sarcastic, but just for the record, I do not care if it is in the majority or minority. I was interested in the story about archaeology of Megiddo and the new dating technology they have now and that was what I wanted to share with others.
Thank you. I am always fascinated by what they find in the Holy Land. As far as the tribulation beliefs and the rapture, I am not pre-tribulation or mid-tribulation or post-tribulation rapture. I am pan-trib. God is in control and it will all pan out in the end like He intends for it too.

I suspect this is a fairly common complaint and has doubtless been covered here prevoiously, but as I have next to no experience of the crank/BB area I thought I'd better seek advice.
Basically over the last week or so a slightly unnerving clicking/creaking sound has been 'developing' around the crank/BB area. It seems to happen at the same point of the rotation and is like two definite clicks one right after the other. The more pressure I apply, the louder/more severe it gets, and when climbing, I can actually feel it through my foot. However it seems fine when soft pedalling on the flat.
What's the likely problem and how should I go about remedying it?
Many thanks.
Edit - also seeing as I'm on the subject, how does one tell if a BB shell has English or Italian thread?

Cultural itineraries
"If the world had to be catalogued by type, Venice would surely have a separate category". This is how a Nobel prize winner Joseph Brodsky synthetically defines the city in the famous book Watermark.
Nietzsche said that if he'd had to think of a synonym for music, he would have said Venice. Anyhow, it is impossible to be indifferent towards a city that in such violent way assails the senses and which concentrates the religious, artistic and cultural history of Europe in few square miles of water and stone.
So, how to tackle these imposing incitements?If you follow tourist guides, you risk to become dizzy from a detailed engraving, such is the beauty of its points of interest. But what counts is the unitary vision and overall effect of this extraordinary number of details. In fact, the most spectacular way to arrive to Venice is by plane: before landing it is actually impossible not to admire the image of a city in the shape of a fish that floats on the variegated and moving expanse of the lagoon and gets squeezed in by a fishing line of the Bridge of Liberty which links Venice to the mainland.
So, here are the suggested itineraries which form an outline of the city's arts, an overall vision and a selection of original and particular aspects, a synthetic way to go back over artistic styles using angel's wings, the evolution of architecture and sculpture through centuries, the itineraries for one Venice as seen by writers or to be seen as it had been portrayed in cinema and literature. In short, one Venice which you won't find in conventional guides, for example, following a route of Tintoretto's Last suppers in some city churches or going on a trip around cloisters, in immaculate and cool silence of sacred places, little hit by masses of tourists who crowd the city all year around.

When i had my first child (a boy) eight+ years ago i breastfed him for about a month. After that time he started spitting it up all the time all over me and i couldn't deal anymore so i switched to formula. I also had the worst time pumping. It just didnt' work - i would get probably less than an ounce. It was very frusterating and stressfull. I never tried another pump (maybe I should have) but they aren't cheap and it's not like you can return them if they dont work. So now I am pregnant and due August 14, 2012. I am worried that i have will have the same issues with breastfeeding the second time around. Im sure pumps are more advanced now than they were eight years ago and I know that every baby is different, but my past with breastfeeding leaves me feeling a little insecure about trying it again. So my question is, what experiences did you have from breastfeeing one child to another? Did anyone have problems with the first that they didn't with the second or vice versus? Just to note, i never had issues wtih producing milk (which is a good thing). Did anyone have a problem producing with a second child when they didnt have a problem with the first? Thanks in advance for your input.
Breastfeeding first child v. breastfeeding second child
Comments (2)
I can't say that there were problems with my first, but I seemed to try a whole lot harder with the 2nd. With DS, although I still bf'ed for a year, I was supplementing with formula with him early on. But with DD (since this is my last one), I've been trying some different things to assist with production, such as supplements, and have seemed to only had to supplement a handful of times so far and she's 8 months (4 more months to go). So, I may have been able to not have to supplement with DS if I really tried all that I could to help me with my milk production and his needs.

what experiences did you have from breastfeeing one child to another?
ODS was a nightmare from day 1 and I think it's because hospital staff gave me some bad advice. He never latched, had nipple shield with very first feeding, pumping on day 2 when he refused the nipple shield, on day 6 he was admitted to hospital with jaundice and ped told me to not give him any BM, only formula, got mastitis on day 8 and quit. When I found out I was due with YDS, I did a lot more reading and found out a lot of what I thought was a problem with me or my breasts was actually bad advice. What I thought was a no win situation could have actually been resloved. YDS was born (all natural) latched without nipple shield, lots and lots of skin-to-skin contact those first few days and while I did have a little bit of soreness with an imperfect latch the first day, things were very, very smooth. It was night and day! I don't know how much it is the new information I had, and how much it was just different babies but YDS is an easy to BF baby. Also getting in touch with the local LLLI has made a huge difference. I go every month and I have ladies that BTDT to talk to about baby issues.
Did anyone have problems with the first that they didn't with the second or vice versus?
I think a lot what happend with ODS was this: I was on IV fuilds making my nipple very hard to grasp but I wasn't told how to help with that (no IV with YDS). They just gave me a nipple shield which he latched on to there but I think the size was wrong and ODS was actually pinching my nipple closed. On day 2 he must have been so hungry he wasn't going to tolerate the shield. I called LC warmline and I was just told to keep trying and if he hasn't eaten for a few more hours just pump. I was also pumping wrong and hurting myself - probably part of why I got mastitis. Milk came in but I couldn't keep up with ODS's demand - probably because bottles flow so fast, there was definitely plently of spit-up from a likely overly full belly. I was getting 2oz and ped told me I should be getting more an I was pumping every 2 hours around the clock (and getting zero sleep). I didn't know about any of the milk supply suppliments and wasn't told about them by any of the medical personel I was talking to. When ODS went into the hospital my stress was through the roof! Ped telling me not to give him any of the BM I was working so hard to get crushed me (and was also bad advice).
This is what reading helped me avoid with YDS. I highly recommend the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding as well as the Complete Book of Breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin and a good support system is also so fantastic.

Masked, knife-wielding pill robber overwhelmed by pharmacy customers
A masked and gloved woman armed with a knife demanded pain pills from the owner of an Olyphant pharmacy before she was overwhelmed by two customers Friday morning, according to a police report.
Police arrested Stacey Marie Stoffey, 41, 87 Jackson St., Dickson City, and charged her with attempted robbery and attempted theft.
Mrs. Stoffey entered the Medicap Pharmacy, 514 Burke Bypass, and demanded OxyContin and Percocet pills while brandishing the knife and saying she didn't want anyone to get hurt. Pharmacy owner Eric Pusey activated an alarm at the pill safe and returned with several bottles.
When one of the bottles fell to the floor during the exchange with Mr. Pusey, a customer grabbed Mrs. Stoffey from behind and then another piled on, helping to disarm her. The two men held Mrs. Stoffey down until police arrived.
Outside the pharmacy, police found a black Mazda registered to Mrs. Stoffey's husband, John Stoffey, and impounded it for further investigation. Officers noticed what appeared to be a leather knife sheath on the front seat.
Mrs. Stoffey remains in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail. Her preliminary hearing is slated for Feb. 18.

Pregnant Celebrities: Celeb Moms Remember Pregnant DaysMichelle Lamar
Alyssa Milano posted a new pic of her baby bump yesterday on Twitter, and no surprise she's adorable!
Seeing this celeb mom-to-be made me wonder what other celebrity moms had to say about their barefoot and pregnant days.
I love my daughters but being pregnant was not an easy thing for me. I gained tons of weight and I was sick for the whole 9 months. It's nice to know that some of the celebrity moms had some of the same issues I did during pregnancy.
Julia Roberts claims she was huge during her pregnancies. The actress and mom of three told PEOPLE magazine:
"My stomach was enormous! The bigger it got the smaller my ass looked so I kind of enjoyed it."
I totally know the feeling but Julia Roberts carried TWINS for one of her pregnancies so she should have been bigger.
Sarah Jessica Parker had pregnant cravings before…and after the baby came.
"I must be the only woman to get cravings AFTER giving birth as well as during it."
SJP gave birth to son James Wilkie in 1998 but her twin daughters Marion and Tabitha, who are almost 2, were born via surrogate mother in 2009.
Scream and Cougar Town star Courteney Cox says being pregnant wasn't as hard as she thought it would be:
"Pregnancy wasn't as tough as I thought it would have been, but it wasn't as relaxing as maybe it would have been if I were 22."
Finally, British actress Liz Hurley did a little OVER-sharing about her pregnancy and her son Damian:
"Damian was unplanned but not unwanted. I think the best things that happen to you are preordained."
I think Alyssa Milano looks fabulous, at her stage in my pregnancies I literally could not DRIVE because my stomach was so far in front of me. Follow mom-to-be Alyssa Milano on Twitter via @Alyssa_Milano.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge connected to the theft of almost $90,000 worth of equipment from a veterans medical center.
U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart says Curtis Clark III of Pataskala (puh-TAS'-kuh-luh) entered his guilty plea Friday to one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
Messages seeking comment were left with Clark's attorney.
Generators and welding equipment were taken from the Veterans Affairs medical center in Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAHTH'-ee) in October 2011. The items were later found in a West Virginia storage garage.
Stewart says the investigation led to the 48-year-old Clark, a patient at the VA hospital. He says Clark admitted to knowing who stole the equipment and helping to transport the items to sell in West Virginia.
Sentencing has not been scheduled.

text: Not surprisingly, perhaps, my advice to the nation to have children in order to boost the economy has been ignored apart from a comment that having more children is the last thing Britain needs – that they will be a drain on the economy. Well, that commentator can rest assured – this government, like every government of the past forty years, takes his approach – that children are a drain on the economy. Before anyone points to family allowances in refutation of this claim, governments have taken large amounts of income in exchange for those family allowances in a sleight of hand that makes them appear virtuous and family-friendly, while picking the pockets of parents with the other hand. Partly as a result, fewer children are now being born – the current 'boom', heralded with dismay in some quarters, is mainly the result of immigration and women who have delayed motherhood owing to financial reasons. People are living much longer, thus the population is becoming increasingly top-heavy with older people. That many people are living longer is in itself a success story – a privilege once enjoyed mainly by the wealthy is now extended to the majority – but, like the birth of babies it is greeted with dismay because we are still in the grip of a Malthusian fear of people; good news, like births and people not dying, is viewed with gloom rather than joy. At this rate we will be sending 'sympathy' cards to mothers who have just given birth, and messages of congratulation to those who have just been bereaved. But if Malthus advocated making life more horrible for the poor rather than improving their conditions, in order to deter them from having children, the modern Malthusian would insist that the idea is to avoid suffering and death by avoiding births – people would not be born, so they would not suffer and die. I suppose we can't argue with that logic – to prevent suffering, prevent people. But in a Malthusian world, dominated by the belief that there are too many people, what of the suffering endured by people who have had the misfortune to be born? There is only one answer, apparently, and this is the verdict that has been reached by a secretive court regarding a woman who cannot speak for herself: the death sentence. In connection with another post, regarding which a commentator has taken me to task about my comments on the colour pink for little girls, I have to admit that I have just finished a pink cardigan for a baby girl, thereby I suppose compounding my offence. Perhaps instead I should have made her a mini pin-striped business suit, bestowed with an improving lecture on overpopulation.

A man accused of trying to elude police in Missoula was charged with three felony counts of criminal endangerment and four misdemeanors at a court appearance Monday.
Missoula police tell us 19-year-old Tristan McVey was pulled over Saturday evening for driving on a suspended license.
After McVey came to a stop, police tell NBC Montana he accelerated past officers and into a residential neighborhood on Missoula's westside.
According to officials that's where he ran over two small trees and nearly plowed into a Missoula mom and her son.
Officials tell us they were able to arrest the suspect after he collided with a parked car.
McVey's bail was set at $5,000 and he is due back in court later this month.
