I came up with this fun little upcycled craft because my daughter loves shiny things and I thought it would make a cute addition to her desk. I don't know about you, but my family has so many old CDs and DVDs laying around – many of which are scratched or outdated. Rather than throwing them away, I decided to use their lovely incandescence for a decorative and functional desk item that my daughter loves. She really enjoys the way it changes colors as the light shifts, and the fact that we made it together makes it all the more special. The best part, besides it being a great way to reuse old things, is that you only need four simple items for this quick and easy DIY project that can store any small office supplies—from paper clips to rubber bands to erasers. This is perfect for a lazy summer day.
I used an empty cardboard medicine box for the base of my paper clip holder. I didn't want to be able to see the print, so first I unfolded the box, and then I refolded it with the white-side out and glued it back together. If you want to skip this step, you could also paint the medicine box with white acrylic paint if preferred. Then, I cut off the flaps on the top lip of the box to make the opening for the paperclips or rubber bands.
Now that the base for the paper clip holder is complete, you can begin to cut up your old DVDs or CDs. I cut a few of them into small pieces, cutting off the rounded parts (from the outer and inner edges of the circles) so that all of my pieces have straight edges. Note that the edges of these pieces can be sharp – so be sure to do this step yourself. As you carefully cut up the orbs, you'll find that each piece separates into two parts – a clear plastic piece and a purplish, shiny piece. I collected all of the clear plastic pieces, put them into a Ziploc® Brand Sandwich Bag and stashed it in my craft box for later use – for instance, maybe we'll use them to craft a princess crown one day!
I arranged the shiny pieces on a piece of paper so I can see what I'm working with. Then, I applied a thin layer of regular school glue onto the four sides of my box using a dense foam paint brush.
Next, I started to lay my pieces so that the straight edges of a few pieces matched up with the straight edges of the edge of the box. From there, I worked to fill in the empty spaces in the middle with the different pieces, sometimes trimming them down to fit a particular gap. I did not use any grout or filler because the DVD/CD pieces are pretty thin, and leaving space between the pieces gives it a great mosaic look.
That's it! You now have an easy mosaic DIY paper clip holder. It is actually great for holding small desk items or even little beauty items in the bathroom such as hairpins. It is a fun reuse project that will keep you organized and save you from purchasing something new for your desk.

published October 19, 2010
The upcoming new version of Microsoft Dynamics AX, known now as AX 6, will be announced next spring, and be generally available during the third quarter of 2011.
Pepijn Richter, a Microsoft product marketing manager, said at the AX User Group Summit 2010 that Dynamics AX 6 will add a new vertical specialty--AX for Public Sector--to the four existing verticals, which are services, manufacturing, retail, and wholesale.
The emphasis of Dynamics AX 6 will be "on simplifying the application life cycle," Richter stated. For example, it will upgrade both online and offline, to improve the efficiency of the upgrade process and reduce downtime necessary for testing.

LaCie Porsche P'9230
LaCie, www.lacie.com/au
Fast, high-capacity desktop drive with USB 3
Heavy; requires mains power supply
Apple hasn't put USB 3 on any of its desktop Macs yet, but it can still be useful to have a nice big desktop drive waiting back at home or in your office sometimes. Besides, we can probably assume that there's an iMac update in the pipeline that will include USB 3 in the not too distant future (although Apple has dropped hints that we might have to wait until 2013 for a new Mac Pro).
LaCie's Porsche drive is a fast USB 3 desktop drive that provides more storage space than you can get from a smaller portable drive. The smartly designed drive unit has a solid aluminium casing that looks good alongside your Mac or MacBook, but also provides good, solid protection for the drive as well.
The Porsche drive is available in 2TB and 3TB sizes.
The model that we tested performed very well, managing to backup our 5GB batch of test files in just 50 seconds, which makes it one of the fastest USB 3 drives we've seen recently.
The software side of things is a little untidy, though. The Porsche drive will work with Time Machine, but LaCie also includes a program called Intego Backup that provides a wider range of features than Time Machine. This is a complicated piece of software, though, and certainly lacks Time Machine's ease of use.
There's also a program called Private-Public, which allows you to partition the drive and create a private, password- protected partition for your most important files. However, there's no mention of this program in the printed manual and we had to root around on the CD in order to locate a PDF manual – which then told us that we needed to download and install yet another piece of software in order to get it working.
Macworld Australia's buying advice.
The software provided with the Porsche drive feels rather un-Mac-like, so it won't really be a strong selling point for Mac users. However, the Porsche drive still provides a fast, efficient backup drive with plenty of space for your music and video collection, or your important work files.

A Hollow Hope in California?
We've all heard the teacher-tenure horror stories. In New York, grossly incompetent, and sometimes borderline criminal, teachers while away months on the public dime in the "rubber rooms" while the city goes through the cumbersome process of firing them. In Chicago a couple decades ago, a judge, since elected to the Illinois Supreme Court, actually reinstated a teacher who habitually came to class in clothes befouled by her own waste and had finally been fired after assaulting six third-graders; the judge decided she shouldn't have been cashiered since the attacks were not "premeditated" and didn't send any of the children to the hospital.
So it's tempting to see Vergara v. California, the recent California state ruling striking down its teacher tenure and seniority laws, as an unalloyed good. But we shouldn't. While the ruling recognized some of the key problems with the status quo in public education, the cure it proposes—extensive judicial tinkering with complex public-policy decisions—may be almost as troublesome as the ailment.
In many ways Vergara is just the latest manifestation of an old, and confused, legal strategy. In the 1970's, inspired by the success of courts in enforcing certain negative rights in education—one thinks especially of the desegregation and school prayer cases—activists tried to reconfigure the same basic formula in enforce positive rights, such as the right to a specific quality of education. Little did they consider that they were asking the courts to take up an entirely different task from that of those earlier cases.
Their first line of attack was on the school funding formulas. While the federal courts and a number of states rejected this maneuver, a few, like California and New Jersey, fell for it.
In response to a series of rulings that found California's heavy reliance on unequal local tax-bases a violation of its constitution, the legislature adopted a scheme to control local school spending centrally and shift more costs to the state. This went a long way toward equalizing spending, but had a decidedly mixed record on its ultimate goal, improving the quality of education. Decreased local control of funding naturally brought on demands for increasingly centralized control of expenditures. The dynamic checks of local control were replaced with less flexible state-level bureaucracy. More and more funds came to be disbursed as specialized grants that could not easily be reallocated as needs changed. All of these trends have strengthened the hand of teacher unions and special interests, often at the expense of students, parents, and the general public. Overall, since mid-century California's K-12 system has gone from being one of the nation's best to something of a mess.
New Jersey's experience was no more encouraging. For nearly a quarter-century the state's school financing was under heavy court supervision to ensure that the poorest districts, so-called Abbott districts, had roughly as much funding as the wealthiest. By 2011, New Jersey had developed a system where nearly 60 percent of state K-12 aid went to Abbott districts, which had only about 20 percent of the school population. The districts with the highest per-pupil spending were overwhelmingly covered by the Abbott decision. Unfortunately, as in California, the centralization of funding came with unpleasant tradeoffs. Excessive and wasteful spending ever tempts local officials when so much of their budget comes from the state; as this was New Jersey, the temptation was not frequently resisted. Unsurprisingly, a 2010 study found that in the state, even controlling for other factors, increased reliance on non-local funds correlated with lower student performance. Despite some improvements, particularly in the lower grades, overall many concluded, in the words of one former senior state educational official, the Abbott line of decisions was a "huge failure" at improving student performance.
The common factor in both these mangled reform attempts is the myopia and naïveté of judges dabbling in policymaking. Lawmakers have the freedom to consult widely; judges are largely limited to whatever the litigants choose to put before them. The range of interests reflected in these decisions thus tended to be limited to those of the activists bringing suit and the state. The activists got hung up on state aid formulas and overly credulous judges converted those hang-ups into a central feature of their states' educational policy for decades. Moreover, their decisions failed to respond to evolving political conditions. California underwent massive upheavals in its fiscal policy after the first school finance cases were concluded; later decisions hardly reflected that reality. Rulings that were often rash to begin with became further disconnected from reality over the years.
The Vergara decision shifts the inquiry from money to personnel but it shows the same troubling tendencies. Because the state's tenure and seniority laws allow poor teachers to stay in the classroom, they must be subjected to strict scrutiny by the court, its author, Judge Rolf Treu, reasons. And since, in his breezy and brief analysis, they fail to meet that standard, he must strike them down. While Judge Treu rightly concludes the laws contribute to a dysfunctional state of affairs, he is utterly blind to the question of whether or how striking the laws down will improve the situation.
Consider the effects of abolishing teacher tenure in a vacuum: it would make it easier to fire underperforming teachers, but it doesn't necessarily create the incentives to do so. Unlike in a competitive market, managers in public education, which is something like a monopoly, have little incentive to put effective provision of services above their own peace of mind and ease. Principals tend to take a go-along-to-get-along attitude with their staff rather than stir things up for the sake of student achievement, especially—as is often the case in low-performing schools—when parent involvement is minimal. One finds an obvious example of this dodge in the recent reform of teacher evaluations in states like Florida and Tennessee. The legislatures there toughened up the requirements, in principle, but when it came to implementing them principals mostly gave out the same sky-high "satisfactory" rates they did before.
But beyond this, ending teacher tenure creates a huge tradeoff that Treu's analysis simply overlooks. As Terry Moe pointed out in his masterful study of teachers' unions, Special Interest, a major component of public schoolteachers' compensation comes not as salary or even pension, but as favorable work rules. Indeed Moe estimated that the average teacher values tenure protection at about 20 percent of his salary—just as an investor accepts a lower rate of return in exchange for less risk. While the worst teachers probably hold tenure most dear, a major cut in compensation will necessarily hinder the recruitment of good teachers. Properly aligning pay and work rules so they benefit both teachers and students is precisely the sort of complex and evolving task that needs to be steered by the political branches, not the courts.
A system where a teacher gets virtual lifetime job security after 18 months—as one can in California—is clearly broken. The plantiffs in Vergara have helped to bring more attention to this farce but their designs to use the courts to solve the problem are simply a wrong turn. To fix this problem, California—and every state—needs lawmakers constantly willing to take on union obstructionism and bureaucratic inertia; it needs an engaged public that will hold its leaders accountable and demands local control and real choice for families. You won't find either of those in a courtroom.tweet

Jeff Sacks
Associate Professor and Chair
Ph.D., Arabic and Comparative Literature, Columbia University, 2006
Professional Bio
I was educated in Cairo, Beirut, Ann Arbor, Austin, and New York, where I earned a Ph.D. at Columbia University at the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society and the Department of Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultures (now the Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies).
I write and teach around a series of questions, with which I'm engaged in various ways, separately and together, and which I'd list as follows: (1) poetics, (2) philology, (3) violence and the law, (4) Arabic poetry, (5) medieval Arabic philosophy, (6) Arab Jewish writing, (7) colonialism and the state, (8), deconstruction, (9) Ibn Khaldun, (10) Arabic and Islamic studies, (11) the question of Palestine, and (12) loss.
My first book, Iterations of Loss: Mutilation and Aesthetic Form, al-Shidyaq to Darwish (New York: Fordham UP, 2015), which was awarded the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association (2016), engages debates around poetics, literary comparison, and colonial violence in relation to loss. Reading nineteenth through twenty-first century texts published in Arabic, Hebrew, and French, I argue that, with loss, language is already languages, that it becomes something other than what it is, interrupting the domestication of politics, language, and sociality in the state form. I consider the formation of monolingual literary objects and the desire to shape language into coherent, legible, temporally recognizable forms, to suggest that language disrupts its coerced legibility. Reading language and loss in relation to poetic form, I suggest that literary comparison does not privilege a renewed giving of sense but gives place to a new sense of relation.
I am presently writing three books. The first, a critique of the theological-political idea of the simple, is entitled Simplicities: A Colonial Archive. It traces the proliferation, morphing, distribution, and restating of the simple—a concept that is said to have fallen away into the past in modernity and Enlightenment. Never having simply departed, anxiety about the simple drives diverse fields of scholarly research, fuels the colonial and neo-colonial imaginaries, sets in motion regimes of incarceration, targeted assassination, and torture, and calls for our compulsively Bildungs-centric practices of education, language, and reading. Simplicity, I argue, divides populations, mobilizes juridical categories, asymmetrically distributes violence in the interest of the state, and leverages it all against the gravitas of the divine. The colonized, after all, had to be colonized, because they were simple—uneducated, illiterate, and on the side of religion, backwardness, and incivility. And yet the simple, I also argue, was never solely itself: disrupting the desire for coherency in reading, the simple exceeds itself and its time and it becomes simplicities.
The second, entitled Arabic Poetics in the Philological Turn, considers the shared and divided histories of philology and poetics. It studies the formation and persistence of aesthetic-philological categories in colonial modernity—for example, the category of the literary or poetic work—as they move between languages and touch upon poetic writing. Linking the transformation and proliferation of an older, European inheritance to the practice of the poetic in Arabic, and in French- and English-language Arab poetic writing, this book returns us to the relations between poetics and philology—two language practices which, if they have been separated in the organization of the humanities disciplines in modern university, compel our sustained attention in their recurring return(s) to each other.
The third reads the question of Palestine in relation to the politics of death and asymmetrical forms of juridical and racialized violence, and it's entitled For Decolonization: The Lyric Poem and the Question of Palestine. I offer close readings of poetic texts in relation to the law, political philosophy, historiography, and psychoanalysis, and argue that the terms and logics of colonial violence exceed the time of modernity, displacing a privileging of the modern in the reading of the question of Palestine. And I argue, through a close attention to language, that the lyric poem deconstitutes the state and the juridical forms it privileges and the force it imparts. Poetic language, in the fragility of its form, becomes a lyric critique of violence, as it gives to us the gift of non-soveregn, interruptive poetic acts.

During my undergraduate studies, I have got huge interest in rehabilitation engineering and amazed how technology can improve human life's quality. As an undergraduate researcher, I worked in Human-Interface Lab for discriminating facial expressions to read user intention. At BRHML, my current research is to elucidate the neurological mechanism of a rehabilitation therapy for upper limb hemiparesis stroke patients. In order for that, a robotic rehabilitation system that can perform a therapy intervention had been developed. I'm currently working on to automate this usually time consuming therapeutic intervention process and understand the underlying mechanism.

On the first full day (May 20) of our vacation in Townsend, TN, Greg and I drove through Cades Cove in the wee hours of the morning (okay, like 8am) so that we could get an early start on a popular hiking trail. The Abram's Fall trail can be located just off of the Cades Cove loop soon before you get to the half-way point. You take a right turn onto a gravel road which will take you to the trail head. The trail itself follows Abram's Creek for 2.5 miles (making it a 5 mile round trip) and terminates at the falls themselves. It's a moderately difficult hike with the trail going up and down several hills, but there's nothing too steep. We've done this trail once before several years ago, and it seemed a lot tougher back then than it did this time (now we've conquered a lot more strenuous trails, making this one pale in comparison). Overall, it was a gorgeous hike and an absolutely wonderful day.

Amsterdam: A Review
Amsterdam is an earlier work from Atonement author, Ian McEwan. It is stuck somewhere between long novella and short novel length, but it's not a quick read. When you pick up a McEwan work, you're in for an investment, no matter how short the work.
Amsterdam is the story of two middle-aged men who are friends with each other. They don't have much in common–Clive Linley is a world-renowned composer and Vernon Halliday is the editor of a popular broadsheet. The one thing they do have in common is that both are former lovers of the now deceased Molly Lane. This novel follows their stories in the days that follow her funeral. In it we see their coming to terms with the death of their lover and their ensuing struggles both internal and external.
When I started reading Amsterdam, I could help but roll my eyes at the sheer pretentiousness of the story and the characters. I wanted to smack the two main characters upside the head with a humbler book–something like War and Peace. They way they tittered about, talking about Molly and how none of her other lovers, or even her husband were good enough for her was infuriating. Clive and Vernon spoke a lot, but they never really listened to each other–it was all just pseudo-philosophical noise. They are completely self absorbed through the entire novel.
However, I soldiered on, and I am glad I did. Sometimes there are characters who I loath that just float through their stories without ever growing or getting their comeuppance. I won't spoil the story, but I ended this book with a short chuckle and smile. It is a story of selfishness, snobbishness, willful blindness, euthanasia, and a subtle bit of revenge.
McEwan brilliant toys with his readers' emotions. He wants you to hate these characters. He wants you to be delighted by the twist. You as the reader, however, must suffer through the annoying pomposity first, and not everyone will be willing to put forth that investment.

Vacation Corgis
So when Greg and I went on our writing/hiking vacation, we brought our furry children along. Waffles, Twinkie, and Scotch had just as much fun as we did. There was lot of ball played and ropes tugged.
Smitten: A Review
Smitten was one of Janet Evanovich's early forays into romance writing. With any Evanovich novel, you expect a certain level of cheesy goofiness and outrageousness, but poor pacing and lack of story really hinder this particular book. Even though it contains a few chuckles, Smitten is just a cheesy romance that is easily forgotten.
But it does get a couple of extra points for obliterating single-mother stereotypes. Lizabeth Kane, a recent divorcee, hasn't worked a day of construction in her life, but that doesn't stop her from snagging a carpentry job that just so happens to be in her neighborhood. There she meets Matt Hallahan–the construction foreman. And here's where the book loses major feminist points. Hallahan hires Lizabeth because he has the hots for her. There's sexual tension from the get go, and by the second day, they're ready to jump each other's bones. The whirlwindedness of their relationship is unbelievable even by fairytale "love-at-first-sight" standards.
There's a couple of other added elements. Basically a prototype for Grandma Mazur in the Stephanie Plum novels, Aunt Elsie plays the comic relief along with a big dumb dog that is quintessential in all Evanovich books. There's also a subplot about a streaker that gets resolved in the most unnecessarily convoluted way–which makes the whole storyline seem completely ridiculous (because a friendly neighborhood streaker isn't ridiculous enough).
I read this story in a single day. It's quick, easy, and silly. The chuckles will keep you reading, though your eyes may be rolling at the same time.
3/5 Stars
Wildlife and Writing Adventure
Vacation finally came. Greg and I have been planning our writing retreat in the woods for some time now. We had decided early on that we would spend the mornings doing something outdoorsy, the afternoons writing, and the evenings were just to be enjoyed. We stayed in a small cabin in Townsend, TN. There was no Wifi, meaning there were few distractions when writing. We managed to get about a chapter and a half hashed out. There's still a bit of editing do to, but I believe we made a good impact. We did two area hikes–Abram's Creek Falls (Tuesday) and Look Rock Tower (Thursday). On Wednesday morning, we rented a couple of bikes and road the eleven-mile Cades Cove loop. All-in-all, it was a fun, relaxing, and productive vacation.
I will be posted several sets of pictures of this vacation's activities over the next couple of weeks. Up first are just some general pictures of the cabin and of Greg and me.
Re-Review: Hammered
Review originally posted June 15, 2013
Hammered is the third volume in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. It stars Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2000+-year-old druid. Along with Leif Helgarson (a Viking vampire), Gunnar Magnusson (A werewolf lawyer), and several other mythological beings, Atticus sets off to Asgard in order to slay Thor (who is apparently an epic douche-waffle).
The third book is the weakest out of the first three. Hearne relies too heavily on nerdy references and allusions and plays up LOLcat speak WAY too much. More than once is too much, but almost every time there's a cat involved in the story, it's referred to as a "Kitteh"—and it gets a bit annoying. We get it, this 2000 year-old druid is all hip to the youngins' jive language. This particular annoyance may have been exaggerated because I listened to the audiobook version, where if I were just reading it, I could easily just skim over the offending words and ignore them.
There's also too little Oberon. I know that it would have been difficult getting the wolfhound to Asgard, so the reasoning behind his not being in the story much is understandable, but he was missed.
Overall, Hammered is still a good, fun story. The annoyances are just that—minor annoyances. The book itself fills in a lot of background story for some of the peripheral characters and explains how Thor got his reputation for being such an asshat.
So onward to the next book!
4/5 Stars
Reviewer's Note: Last year, when I originally reviewed this book, I tried to post it on Amazon, like I do with many of my reviews. This one was rejected to do foul language. I wonder if it was "Douche-waffle" or "asshat" that was the offending word?
Have you read any of Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid books? What did you think of them? Hit the comments!
I will be gone on a hiking/writing retreat this week, with limited internet access. Greg and I will be staying in a cabin in the small town of Townsend, Tennessee. Townsend borders the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and it like a second home to me–it is where my paternal grandmother is buried. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I go there quite often.
Much writing, reading, hiking, and relaxing shall be had.
We'll be returning Friday evening. I'm not sure I'll have any posts between now and then. It depends on if I was able to crank any reviews out Sunday and schedule them to be posted (even this one is being scheduled. Hello from the past!).
Our cabin will be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Cades Cove–an eleven-mile scenic loop in the park filled with local wildlife. Below is a youtube video filled with gorgeous photography (better than my amateur endeavors) that only touches on the majesty of this place.

Luzerne County will make $15 million in community development funds available for infrastructure projects in the county's boroughs and townships, county Manager David Pedri announced Tuesday.
The money will come from the county's revolving loan fund, Pedri said. All of the funding is federal dollars and no county funds will be used, he said.
The funds will be used for projects in designated low-to-moderate income areas, according to Andrew Reilly, executive director of the county office of community development.
All projects must meet federal guidelines set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to be approved, Reilly said. The funds will be allotted to projects that target blight or are in areas of "urgent need," he said.
Those projects are likely to include improvements to roads and sewers, as well as public recreation projects, Reilly said Tuesday.
Amendment proposed
County officials are proposing an amendment to the county's community development action plan in order to use the revolving loan fund for infrastructure projects, Pedri said.
Per federal guidelines, the county will host a public meeting Thursday to take input, after which questions and comments will be accepted until March 19.
The proposed amendment will then be sent to HUD, and applications will be sent to townships and boroughs, Reilly said.
The county's four cities are not eligible to receive funds, as they have their own community development offices, he said.
A total of 25 townships and boroughs in the county include regions designated as low-to-moderate income areas based on U.S. Census Bureau data.
The county's other 47 boroughs and townships may conduct "service area surveys" to determine if areas of those municipalities might qualify for infrastructure funding, Reilly said.
Committee to decide
A committee that includes community development officials and county engineers will decide which projects receive funding, he said.
That decision will be based on a federal scoring process established by HUD, Reilly said.
The county's revolving loan fund has been underused in recent years because of low interest rates available elsewhere, Pedri said.
That caused the fund to build up, Reilly said.
Officials at HUD recently approved the use of the fund for municipal infrastructure projects, he said.
"They said, 'We no longer want this amount of money just sitting around; we want it out on the street,'" Reilly said.
Thursday's public meeting starts at 4 p.m. in the council meeting room of the Luzerne County Courthouse on North River Street in Wilkes-Barre.
Contact the writer:
Luzerne County municipalities that include designated low-to-moderate income areas: Ashley; Black Creek Twp.; Butler Twp.; Dupont; Duryea; Edwardsville; Exeter; Foster Twp.; Freeland; Hanover Twp.; Hazle Twp.; Jenkins Twp.; Kingston; Larksville; Luzerne; Nescopeck; Newport Twp.; Plains Twp.; Plymouth; Salem Twp.; Shickshinny; Sugarloaf Twp.; West Hazleton; Wilkes-Barre Twp.; Wyoming.

Shortly before passing a far-reaching but unpopular bill on a party line vote, the Speaker of the House assured critics that people would like it once they felt its benefits.
That was 2010, and it didn't work out for Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat in charge of the House at the time, or for the Obamacare health-care bill. It remained unpopular, even after health coverage was extended to millions of people. Democrats lost the House that November and the Senate four years later.
Now, Pelosi and her party will try to turn the tables, targeting the GOP's main achievement of 2017: tax legislation that, so far, rates poorly with the public. Republicans are pitching its middle-class benefits and potential economic growth to win over wary voters, but Democrats have united in labeling it a "tax scam" that benefits the wealthy and corporations.
"The American people will see through what this is, which is a scam," said Representative Ben Ray Luján, who chairs the House Democrats' campaign arm. "This bill is terribly unpopular across America," he said, adding that the party's internal polling shows it to be unpopular "especially in swing states."
House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, says he's utterly untroubled by Democrats' threats.
"No concerns, whatsoever," Ryan said Tuesday during a news conference. He added: "Results are going to make this popular."
Once American wage earners see their paychecks in February 2018—after employers have adjusted withholding—they'll start to appreciate what a boon they've received, he said. He and other GOP leaders also cite what they say will be a major boost to the economy, pushing annual growth to 3 percent.
Average Tax Cut
Polls suggest Democrats are winning in the early rounds. Half the public thinks they'll pay higher taxes under the Republican overhaul, according to a Monmouth University poll conducted from Dec. 10 to Dec. 12 that had similar findings to other studies. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday found that voters prefer Democrats over the GOP to run Congress by 50 percent to 39 percent, a margin that election analysts say could flip both chambers.
"People say the proof's in the pudding. The proof's in the paycheck," GOP Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said Tuesday during the debate that preceded the Senate vote on the tax bill.
Plenty of paychecks may not rise that much, based on an analysis this week. In 2018, the bill's average tax cut for the bottom 80 percent of earners would be $675, according to an analysis by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. That's about $13 a week.
It's also smaller than a one-year, $800 tax cut for married couples in 95 percent of working households that was part of the 2009 economic-stimulus package. That earlier tax break bombed politically—just 12 percent believed they got a tax cut, a 2010 poll showed.
Higher earners will get a larger break next year, an average of $50,000 apiece for the top 1 percent and $190,000 for the top 0.1 percent, the policy center's analysis found.
McConnell's Plans
Regardless, if Republicans can persuade the public of their bill's broad benefits, few voters will examine the fine print—and the legislation, which represents the party's first major success this year, appears to have energized its leaders.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said early Wednesday that he looks forward to making the case for the tax legislation's broad benefits.
"If we can't sell this to the American people, we ought to go into another line of work," he said during a news conference after the vote. He also said he doesn't think Republicans will have the same issue Democrats had with Obamacare.
"I think it's a little bit easier to sell that you have more money in your pocket than it is to say the government is running your health-care system," he said after Senate approved the legislation on a 51-48 party line vote.
The promised economic growth also remains to be seen. Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told reporters that she doesn't think the tax plan would lead to a major growth boost. Fed policy makers have boosted their economic forecast in 2018 to 2.5 percent from 2.1 percent, but they've left their estimate of the economy's long-run growth rate unchanged, at 1.8 percent, according to the median projection of policy makers released last week.
"It's not a gigantic increase in growth," Yellen said during a news conference.
Schumer's Taunt
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, taunted Republicans over the poll numbers Tuesday night. "My Republican colleagues have done what's nearly impossible," he said. "They've managed to make a tax cut bill even less popular than previous tax hikes."
Still, Republicans say they're already seeing the effects of their policies and are confident the upswing will continue.
"We will go sell it based upon the success that it brings. I could already sell to you that what we're doing right now—the stock market and peoples' 401(k)s are very favorable," said Representative Pete Sessions, a Republican who represents a suburban swing district in the Dallas area.
He said it won't cost Republicans any House seats in 2018 "if it works the way we say it's going to."
In the Senate, Democrats will need to gain just two seats to win control of the chamber. Their best opportunities are believed to be in open seats in Arizona and Tennessee, as well as a challenge to Nevada Senator Dean Heller.
McConnell, in an interview, attributed the bill's lack of popularity to "overwhelmingly negative" press coverage, and argued that Americans will come to view it favorably once Republicans sell the bill and its positive effects.
"The public hasn't heard the arguments yet," he said. "Most of the press, left of center, has been trashing the bill quite consistently. The ultimate sales jobs will be done in the Senate races around the country in the fall."
And he offered a preview of the GOP's message:
"The Democratic Party today is the party of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders," he said. "If the Democrats take over the Senate next year, we'd look for most of these tax reductions to go away entirely."

Posted on 07/04/2009 10:13:12 AM PDT by SandRat
HILLAH — Soldiers of the 172nd Infantry Brigade are enabling documentarians, historians and preservationists as they work to ensure ancient Iraqi history is preserved and documented in Babil province.
The Soldiers provide these experts transportation and security as they conduct site surveys of Babylon, an ancient city near the modern city of Hillah
The Babil Provincial Reconstruction Team hosted the World Monuments Fund as the surveys were conducted to determine the possibility of making the Babylon ruins a sustainable historic and tourism site and to develop responsible tourism associated with the ruins.
The World Monuments Fund is a New York-based private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic architecture and cultural heritage sites worldwide through fieldwork, education and training. The WMF is launching a project with Iraq to preserve the ancient city of Babylon, where King Nebuchadnezzar II, whose life spanned 630-562 B.C., built his hanging gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
"We are involving the local populace in the solutions to create a sustainable situation," said Jeff Allen, the project team leader. "What you don't want to do is develop something that outsiders are just going to profit from. You want something where the local populace benefits from it."
"Future tourism will be one of the tools for economic development in Iraq, and we fear that Babylon could be eaten up by unmanaged development like the paving of roads," World Monuments President Bonnie Burnham stated at the beginning of the project. "The city has never been mapped, and there have been very dramatic changes to it."
Gwendolen Cates, an independent filmmaker, is making a documentary titled "Mourning in the Garden of Eden," illustrating the historical significance of the history of Babylon.
"I am making a documentary of the cultural heritage of Iraq and connecting the past to the present and how that relates to us," said Cates, a native of New York City. Cates started this project in 2003, when she served as an embedded photojournalist with U.S. Army Military Intelligence in Iraq.
"Iraq has a lot of diversity and many Americans do not know about Babylon and where it is," added Cates. "Bringing tourism back to Iraq is one of the main purposes of this project."
"Iraqi heritage belongs to all humanity," Samir Sumaida'ie, Iraq's ambassador to the U.S., said in a statement. "In the immense task of caring for its world heritage, Iraq welcomes help from and collaborations with the international preservation community."

As I was studying my motorcycle I spotted the "Made In Germany " label which confirmed my first theory.
My second theory is that there may have been a sidecar attached…guess I will have to Google….
So, I'm about half way through this project. It's a challenge matching the colours, but I like challenges.

To quote my friend Courtney Rose: "Is there a better phrase in the English language than 'Breakfast served all day?'"
There is a drive, an aspiration uniquely American—not in character, but in ubiquity. Conservatives love well-done steak, liberals love cage-free eggs, Texans like their chili without beans. The hype for fried eggs and pancakes at eight in the evening transcends our everyday divides.
The building blocks of a typical American breakfast—eggs, sausage, bacon, coffee, batter and/or bread—are cheap and easy to acquire in bulk. They don't require any particularly specialized equipment to prepare (cleaning up can be a different story). And while the perfect poached or over medium egg can be a long and epic endeavor of trial and discovery, people aren't getting French toast after an AA meeting because they want to dance and cavort at the court of subtlety.
The American breakfast is a ritual of rebirth; you've been out partying and need to sober up before you get home; you've been out not partying and want to affirm that life can have decadence and wonder without that which triggers addiction; you've hit it off with a new person and a brave face needs a full stomach.
Breakfast all day is a promise: whoever you are, wherever you've been, you can find shelter here, you can be built anew. It's not an infallible promise; breakfast is still at heart, composed of commodities, and thus cost-prohibitive by nature under capitalism (or likewise prohibitive for people who have food restrictions living in a food desert, etc).
But America doesn't need "blessing". It needs a rebirth.
You bless a baby. You bless a marriage. You bless something tender and vulnerable that needs a leg up to survive a dimension of secular chaos. America is neither of those things.
I presume if you're reading this in the first place, you're already somewhere on the spectrum of "skeptical about patriotism in general".
If you're new, just to bring you up to speed: land stolen from indigenous, genocide against indigenous, people stolen and imported as slaves, advantage taken of immigrants fleeing wars and socio-economic decline, interfering in smaller, poorer country's governments, American Gladiators canceled twice, programs of deportation and genocide.
The same time where IHOP was running commercials of rural folks explaining how sometimes they can't eat breakfast in the morning and need to eat it whenever, and it was still the most important meal of the day regardless when you had it, we were introduced as a country to the method of shutting down dissent of American imperialism by demanding to know "why don't you love America?"
However shallow, this succeeds because critiquing the State's actions and being forced to insist the State must be exalted suggests that there is nothing the State can do that would necessitate its dissolution. And once you've made that compromise, what moral standing do you have to push for change?
This is why the neoliberalism of the Democrats will, if unaltered, be crushed in the 2020 elections.
Insisting on a "progressive" fealty to the State is like saying "I love my Dad and he must never be punished, but I also vow to find all the bodies of the people he's murdered and give their families recompense."
The American Dream is a lie. You cannot be whoever or whatever you want through initiative and guile. And it will take generations of struggle to undo the systems that enforce that lie.
We are damaged, wicked, wounded and on the prowl. We are not fit to be blessed.
But, and I believe this from the bottom of my Communist heart: we can, in the meantime, work towards rebirth. Of militarist institutions demolished. Of private property redistributed. Of borders unfurled. We can work towards a world where everyone in America can be reborn through breakfast.
I mean that last part literally.
The cost for security at Trump Tower is estimated at $183 Million.
Let's assume your average breakfast costs around $9.59, which is the cost of a Denny's All-American Slam.
That's 19, 082, 377 breakfasts. Obviously it's not a 1:1 deal. You would need to establish designated breakfast kitchens throughout the country to ensure you were feeding the people who needed it most. There's also a question of how you would ensure that you were able to allocate enough of the 7.9 billion eggs and 14.4 billion pounds of bacon the US produces each year without creating spoilage or shortage elsewhere.
But regarding the suggestion that leftists don't have concrete ideas about how to improve things—
I say free breakfast. On demand. Without apologies.
America is not, despite it's pledge, in the business of "justice for all". And we may not get there in our lifetimes.
But breakfast for all.
It's not what the Founding Fathers envisioned for America.
And that's what makes it great.

Phentermine - Is it safe to take phentramine with blood thinner warfarin?
- Asked
- 3 Feb 2015 by Cola12231985
- Updated
- 17 June 2018 (9 weeks ago)
- Topics
- weight loss, phentermine, warfarin, blood thinners, blood
Responses (2)
I was taking phentermine given to me by my doctor for 8 months and ended up with blood cloths in both of my lungs and now I am on warfarin for a long time. I wasn't given the warning of "may cause blood clots" therefore I am suing the company. The pills have ruined my life, yes I am still alive but weekly INRs and in and out of the hospital and them keeping me several days on and off is depressing and time consuming to myself and my family... I will continue to stay on my diet (new way of life) but without the diet pill... so, the answer to you're question, No do not mix them together... and hopefully you don't drink on blood thinners as well because that's life-threatening. I hope this has helped.

Barack Obama's bid for the White House has stirred up excitement in Detroit, where residents have waited for the chance to elect a black president. Yet Detroiters also have been waiting nearly a year to see Mr. Obama, who has not appeared in the city since last July, when he received thunderous applause during an N.A.A.C.P. candidate forum despite being considered a long shot to become the Democratic nominee. He did not campaign in the state before the primary and his name did not even appear on Michigan's ballot, after party leaders moved up the date in violation of Democratic National Committee rules.
Mr. Obama's absence from Detroit will end Monday, when he is scheduled to attend a campaign event and fund-raiser. But while he is certain to find widespread support in the Motor City, any campaigning in Detroit also presents an awkward situation for him, given the legal troubles of the city's mayor, Kwame M. Kilpatrick.
Mr. Kilpatrick, 38, who is a Michigan superdelegate and was until recently seen as a rising black star in the Democratic party, last week pledged to support Mr. Obama. He appeared with Mr. Obama several times last year, though their first meeting generated controversy after they spoke by phone and Mr. Kilpatrick asked if Mr. Obama was comfortable standing by a 6-foot 4-inch black man. Mr. Obama replied that he was, if the mayor removed his diamond earring. (Spokespeople for both men later said they were joking and supportive of one another.)
But since Mr. Obama last visited Detroit, Mr. Kilpatrick has been charged with eight felonies, including perjury and obstruction of justice, in connection with a scandal that has clouded the city for more than four months. The City Council has begun an effort to remove Mr. Kilpatrick, who has refused to resign. At a rally last week in honor of the Detroit Red Wings' Stanley Cup victory, Mr. Kilpatrick took the stage only to be booed so boisterously that he sat down after 30 seconds.
The safe strategy then for Mr. Obama might be to avoid Mr. Kilpatrick, but doing so also runs the risk of alienating the many Detroiters who continue to support their mayor and believe his contention that racism is behind the attacks on him.
Shunning Mr. Kilpatrick also could mean missing out on the charismatic mayor's ability to motivate voters, a talent that helped him snatch a re-election victory in 2005 from a near-certain defeat. Polls have shown the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, even with Mr. Obama or slightly ahead in Michigan, which traditionally votes Democratic.
Mr. Kilpatrick apparently does not expect Mr. Obama to reach out to him as the general election campaign heats up. "He's running a very smart campaign, and his campaign is not to be walking, holding hands, singing Kumbaya with Kwame Kilpatrick," the mayor told reporters recently, referring to himself in the third person.
At a gathering of state political leaders, a panel spent several minutes discussing how Mr. Obama should handle campaigning in Detroit with Mr. Kilpatrick as mayor before agreeing that "he doesn't need to be in a picture with Kwame Kilpatrick," as one panelist, local radio talk show host Mildred Gaddis, said.
It may not be a problem. On Friday, Mayor Kilpatrick said that he would not be going to the Obama campaign rally, though he didn't say anything about the fund-raiser.

The budget lacks imagination generally. Health has once agin been given a low priority. HIV/AIDS does not require this kind of allottment; the oversaes organisation like the Gates Foundation is already doing enough. Wish more funds were earmarked for projects like telemedicne; medical tourism, promoting health insurance. Preventive strategies and public health institutes need strenghtening. Mr.Chidambaram you have lost an opportunity and given us not much to celebrate or talk about with any of your budgetary plans. By far Lalu stole the show this year too.

If you are one of the many who are constantly dealing with dry mouth due to an insufficient saliva flow, you may have experienced multiple dental issues in the past. In fact, you may have found that no matter how often you brush, floss or go to the dentist that your teeth have continued to decay over time. This is not your fault. Saliva is the natural way you mouth cleanses itself. If you suffer from dry mouth, the mouth tends to retain harmful bacteria and food particles when it should be removing it. If you have been watching your teeth go from good to worse to nearly unbearable, you may want to consider getting dental implants.
Unlike your teeth, dental implants are not affected by the lack of saliva and therefore cannot suffer from decay. The dental implant is simply an artificial tooth root that is affixed with an artificial tooth. Although the tooth looks and feels like a real tooth, there is no actual tooth structure remaining that can be susceptible to the bacteria that is left in your mouth. This is ideal for patients who suffer from dry mouth as once the procedure is complete, your smile will remain in perfect condition regardless of how long you have had your implants.
If you have experienced dental issues due to dry mouth call your Sterling dentist today! We would be happy to talk to you about your options concerning dental implants or answer any other questions you may have regarding your oral health!
