Accreditation Management System for Engineering Associates (Curriculum Based)
This documented accreditation management system developed by Engineers Australia sets out policy, criteria and guidelines for the accreditation of curriculum based engineering education programs at the level of Engineering Associate.
The Accreditation Management System is presented in a modular, controlled document format to provide for ease of navigation and access to pertinent information. Formal procedures for review approval and version control are in accordance with established quality management practices.
This Accreditation Management System defining document is intended as a resource for engineering education providers in the processes of planning, educational design, program review and continuous quality improvement.
It also is intended to provide explicit guidance for the development of submission documentation in preparation for an accreditation visit.
The Accreditation Management System provides the definitive criteria, assessment and reporting framework for evaluation panels engaged in the accreditation process and for the Engineers Australia Accreditation Board in the process of decision making.
System and Context
One of the objects and purposes of The Institution of Engineers, Australia (Engineers Australia), defined by Royal Charter, is "To increase the confidence of the community in the employment of engineers by admitting to The Institution only those persons as shall have satisfied the Council of The Institution that they have an adequate knowledge of both the theory and the practice of engineering".
In accordance with this purpose, Engineers Australia evaluates complete courses or programs (hereafter referred to as programs) leading to the award of engineering degrees and diplomas by Australian educational institutions.
The key objective of this evaluation task is to accredit those programs which are adjudged as preparing their graduates adequately for entry to the profession and admission to membership of Engineers Australia in the grade of Graduate – career category – Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist or Engineering Associate as appropriate.
This documented accreditation system is concerned with the criteria and processes for evaluating engineering education programs leading to the award of engineering degrees appropriate for entry to the profession in the career category of Engineering Associates.

Matchboxes offer multiple opportunities for use in artwork, playtime, organization, and gift giving. There are so many ways to recycle and recreate matchboxes that I could write an entire book on it. However, I will limit this post to just a few ideas on how to make decorative matchboxes.
Let's start with a basic makeover to create decorative matchboxes using a few simple supplies, and then I'll provide some ideas and techniques to take these treasures a step further.
Materials to Make Decorative Matchboxes
You can use any style of boxed matches for this project. If you don't have any on hand and need an instant collection, a quick trip to the local dollar store or hardware store will yield plenty to experiment with for little cost. You can set aside the matches in a safe container like a coffee can for later use (we save ours for camping trips).
- Matchboxes
- Mod Podge
- Decorative Papers
- Scissors
- Acrylic Paints
- Other materials noted in each section
Directions to Make Decorative Matchboxes
It's easy to wrap the outside of matchboxes in decorative papers. Simply measure and cut your papers to fit the box, then use Mod Podge to glue papers on. I don't have a special technique for paper measuring/cutting — I simply cut a long strip of decorative paper the same width as the box, and then I wrap and trim. It does help to flatten the creases of your paper prior to gluing, however.
The inside trays for matchboxes can be painted with acrylic paints. Make sure to paint all sides and bottom of tray. If you don't have paint, you can always cut a piece of paper to glue to the bottom and/or sides of your tray. Once dry, your matchboxes are ready to take to the next level! Read below and see if you can find a project to create with your matchbox.
Create Artwork from Decorative Matchboxes
Decorative matchboxes can be transferred into miniature masterpieces or combined with other matchboxes to create pieces of art. Buttons, beads, ribbon, ephemera, and decorative papers can be added to add detail and texture to your work.
Gifts For Yourself and Loved Ones Using Decorative Matchboxes
- Pocket and Purse Mementos: Some people enjoy carrying a miniature memento to honor a loved one who has passed on; or as inspiration and encouragement. These mementos are typically decorative and detailed. Beaded ribbon, lettered beads, small gemstones or charms can be added to create a miniature shrine small enough to fit in your pocket or purse.
- Get Well Gift: Find tiny keepsakes to add to your matchbox and send to a sick and/or hospitalized loved one. There are many types of "pocket guardian angels", good luck tokens and coins, and religious charms that are small and easily added to a Get Well matchbox . If you have small children, you may even have tiny knick knacks discarded from playsets — miniature orange juice containers, teddy bears, and cups of tea have all been useful for adding to these Get Well packages.
- Mini-kits: Eyeglass repair kits, sewing kits, manicure quick fixes, pill boxes, first aid kits, tooth fairyboxes — these can all be created using small matchboxes. These make wonderful gifts for friends and loved ones.
As you can see, the possibilities for making decorative matchboxes are just about endless! Happy decorating!

Sponsored by 2013 Social Media 300
An online jeweler talks about hiring a young employee to manage social media.
By her own admission, 22-year-old Nicole Pepe is bold, outspoken, maintains a sense of entitlement and would rather work with a boss instead of under him, on teams instead of as part of a hierarchy. She may sound like one of those typically brash youngsters whom fogies with decades of work experience love to complain about—after all, it's doubtful Pepe ever deigned to walk to school uphill both ways, and through blizzards, as did her elders—but those traits might just make her a perfect employee for many online retailers.
So went the message during a session entitled "Meet the Facebookers: Finding the right person for the social marketing job" held during the last hours of the Internet Conference & Exhibition 2011 last week in San Diego. Pepe, a college student who also works as the social media manager for online jewelry retailer GEMAffair.com, spoke with her boss, CEO Mike Jansma. "Social media is an online cocktail party, with constant change," Jansma said. "It is critical to have someone involved in this."
Attendees who resisted the urge to sneak out to the beach or the hotel bar were rewarded with an often blunt discussion about how generational differences are playing out in the ever-changing e-commerce industry, where traditional retailing methods constantly conflict with, and also complement, the newest web technologies and marketing methods. Even if attendees did not always welcome what Pepe was telling them, her presentation gave a glimpse into the work habits and expectations of the youngest job candidates posting their resumes to Craigslist. Like it or not, they soon will be holding down cubicles and manning laptops for web merchants and marketers—or, perhaps more accurately, running e-commerce tasks via smartphones, even as they Twitter and Facebook with friends.
Pepe is what Jansma called a digital native, someone who all but came out of the womb with her tiny fingers typing away at a keyboard. Pepe says she learned to type at age six, sent her first e-mail at age seven, was downloading music (illegally, as is turns out, though she didn't know it) at age 10, and launched her first blog at age 14. Today, she's always on Twitter, communicating with her BFFs—that's native speak for best friend forever—and she can navigate social media as well as some digital immigrants—if you remember the ubiquity of mustard-yellow land-line telephones, that would be you—still can find their ways through print newspapers. "Natives are multitaskers from the word 'go,'" Jansma said. "We hired a native because we figured she would have the instinct for all this." In fact, he said, there was no chance he would have hired an immigrant for the social media job.
Pepe's nearly all-digital life provided some quick benefits for GEMAffair.com. Right after she started her job, for instance, her instincts led her to introduce herself to consumers via the social networks the online jewelry retailer uses. But not everything came so easily. Though she has blogged since the first days of high school, she typically wrote about her daily life and all the minutiae that can be involved in that. Learning to blog for an online retailer proved challenging. "Michael wanted informational articles, but for me blogging is very personal," she said.
For his part, Jansma, while seemingly pleased with Pepe's efforts, admitted his apprehension at hiring such a young employee—and one with no prior e-commerce experience—for such an important job. "Trusting a 20-something to take this brand out into the world is pretty scary. I had to work through some issues on that," he said. "They are going to play at work, they are going to chat. But they get paid to chat. I spent a good number of years trying to get my employees not to chat."
Still, much like a kind-hearted father trying to understand why his son has come home with purple hair and strange music blasting from his headphones, Jansma urged patience and understanding when it comes to employees like Pepe—who, it should not be forgotten, might just find new ways to win over customers and boost sales. "Don't hire a native and crush their creativity," he said.
Jansma didn't speak much to the revenue-enhancing effects of Pepe's hiring, but he did offer advice for other retailers faced with a need for a more robust social media marketing presence, and a growing pile of resumes from young job seekers of Pepe's generation. No, those candidates are not likely to have years of social media management experience, or even much experience at all, but it would help if they have paid their dues through at least basic customer service jobs in order to grasp the important of pleasing consumers. Yes, they should be able to type and have mastered a range of computer software and applications. And candidates should have specific ideas about how to improve the company, including through social media marketing. Finally, marketing majors are not the only prime candidates; Pepe is studying education at a southern Florida college, preparing for a career with special-needs children.
Audience members in some cases couldn't get seem to get over what is emerging as a central trait of Pepe's generation: The need, and apparent ability, to merge their personal lives with work, to digitally talk with friends while also doing their assigned tasks. That, and the largely unproven return-on-investment power of social marketing, led to one of the central lines of skeptical questioning, as expressed by Mildred Munjanganja, general manager at CableOrganizer.com Inc.: How does a retailer measure the impact of an employee such as Pepe, especially if she is tweeting and Facebooking with friends during work?
Jansma said he is trying to measure those returns, but that's hard because social marketing remains a fledgling part of online retailing. But, he continued, such a question might reflect a generational bias, an inability to understand the ways of the youngest e-commerce employees—not only Pepe, but those who will follow her. "That's an immigrant question in a native world," he said.

This aint' exactly news, but we've been reading this and spreading the link amongst friends over the weekend and thought it was worth a re-post. If you need to brush up on the history of denim, check out this documentary posted at Rawr Denim, Levi's As America: A Riveting Icon Part 1. You'll also find links to other watch-ables throughout the post. Here's to getting to know your jeans!

It's time for a history lesson! We've been hearing a lot about the origins of denim fabric lately, with the recent discovery of 17th century paintings of Italian peasants wearing denim. The denim jeans that we know and love today however, began with the invention of rivets by a German immigrant named Levi Strauss, and were first seen as mining garb in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s cowboys began wearing denim jeans, and the rest, friends, is history.
Below, we'll take a look at the evolution of denim jeans through ads over the last century. Be sure to check out the amazing 3-piece denim tuxedo on the Ken-like model from the 70s!
The above ad is from the 1940s. Mainly seen as workers uniforms in previous years, suburban America began transitioning into jeans with the wild popularity of Western movies.
The best propaganda is always the type coming from the taller, more handsome guy in the letterman's jacket! In the 1950s, those cowboy loving little boys grew into young adults, and jeans become an icon of cool. The jeans were stiff (raw denim's equivalent today) and needed to be worn in (think cuffed jeans from The Little Rascals and Sandlot, and Marlon Brando's Rebel Without a Cause).
In the 1960's, stretch is introduced with the addition of 2% lycra, and the super tight jean is born. Women begin to have to lay on their beds and use pliers to zip up their jeans.
An already crazy time for fashion; new distressing processes, embellishments, fits, and styles were experimented with in the 70s. Check out this guy's 3 piece denim flared suit!
In the 1980's, denim goes high fashion. Big name designers begin coming out with their own styles, like in this Versace ad featuring Nadia Auermann and Claudia Schiffer. And acid wash was popularized. We mustn't forget about acid wash.
We had fun looking up old ads this week. Stay tuned for some bizarre denim commercials in the future!

Skip to comments.Obama Willing To Go Over Fiscal Cliff, According To White House Leaks
Posted on 12/03/2012 4:26:04 PM PST by drewh
White House sources are telling Democratic reporters that the president is willing to go over the so-called fiscal cliff if GOP leaders dont agree to his demand for higher tax rates on the wealthy without substantive spending cuts.
A political deadlock would mean an automatic tax increase for middle-class and wealthy Americans on January 1, and the opportunity for Obama and the Democrats to push a tax-cutting bill for middle-class voters in 2013, say the White House officials, who leaked the claim to two liberal columnists.
The first of two December 3 leaks came via the left-wing Mother Jones Magazine publication, where columnist David Corn reported that according to senior administration officials, Obama is not eager to go over the cliff, but he is willing. If no deal is reached by the end of the month, all the Bush tax cuts for the rich and not-rich will evaporate.
Obama would then demand in early January that the new Congress immediately pass legislation to reinstate the lower tax rates for the bottom 98 percent, wrote Corn.
Corns claim was later seconded by a left-wing columnist at The Washington Post, Greg Sargent, who sometimes is used by the White House to leak official views.
I have just confirmed that [Corn's report] is accurate Obama is willing, albeit very reluctant, to go over the cliff, Sargent wrote.
This stance puts Republicans at a disadvantage because the fiscal cliff will automatically raise upper-income taxes, ensuring Dems can come back and move to pass just the middle class tax cuts, challenging Republicans to vote against renewing them after they have expired, Sargent wrote.
But a deadlock and a trip over the fiscal cliff would also allow the GOP to stand firm on their opposition to any increases in tax rates, and effectively require the Democrats to cooperate with a GOP proposal to revamp the nations tax laws in 2013.
That national tax debate could help the Republicans win the 2014 mid-term elections, when Obama and Democrats will try to regain the House majority lost in 2010.
Democrats and White House officials are already trying to blame the GOP for any deadlock and the scheduled tax increases, and are now arguing that the nations stalled economy was caused by the GOPs determination to protect the income of wealthy Americans.
Good, let him go over the cliff and when he gets to Hawaii, close off his spending and let him rot there.
I misread I thought it said "Obama willing go over the cliff" PLEASE DO =)
The only leaks out of that place are the ones they want you to know about. Anybody seen his transcripts lately. This is another 8 year old stunt by the Democrats.
Fine, Obama gets his tax increase. Then in March don't raise the debt ceiling and we'll get our spending cuts.
Hell yeah! The House needs to ground this spendthrift President. He and his family can walk their asses back from Hawaii, as far as I'm concerned.
When Obama played golf with Clinton last week, I'm sure they talked about Clinton successfully shutting down the government and blaming the Republicans.
All I want to hear right now from the GOP is that there are not enough "rich" to pay for all the free stuff. Where is the money supposed to come from? What is the Obama Plan?
The GOP is fumbling this away allowing the dims to make it all about the tax rates. They have to go on offense this week or they are done. Barry and Harry will steamroll them.
It's Gingrich time again. That's why da bam went golfin' with his brother by another mother, bill.
A Ø willing to go over the "fiscal cliff", while asking for removal of any debt ceiling, while asking for $Trillions more in taxes, while NOT asking for ANY budget cuts, is a Ø that deeply desires to destroy the private sector, destroy - his word for it not mine - the "middle class", in favor of a marxist/socialist economy.
[it's also a Ø willing to wage war, albeit indirect... for now with proxies..., against Israel]
He created the cliff so that he could drive us over it. At this point, its pretty moot. He destroyed the country, it was his goal from the beginning.
You trickle up from NOTHING.
Of course the lowlife bass turd wants the country to go "over the cliff". More tax money for him and the rest of his commie bastards in the District of Corruption. You really Fluked up this time America! Let's see you get your greedy, freeloading asses out of this one. Good job! The IRS is going to send EVERYONE a trophy! The GOP better not choke on this. Everyone needs to suffer this time. Not just "the rich". Elections do have consequences. A lesson the morons living here better learn and they better learn it quickly. JMO.
Fine, Obama gets his tax increase. Then in March dont raise the debt ceiling and well get our spending cuts.
It won't be the Obama tax increase. He will blame the GOP. Then, Barry will happily EO his way around the debt ceiling if he has to. The GOP won't stop that.
The GOPers should get extremely aggressive on making this known. Unfortunately, unlike the dems, they seem content with mumbling out some 1-minute comment, then ducking for cover. The dems are seeking out every microphone they can find.
I`ve given up hope the Repubs will ever get any kind of advantage on this or any other manufactured crisis. They`re going to get the blame for any repercussions regardless of the cause by a public that doesn`t like them. So, they should just say "screw politics." They`re not going to win the White House and only stand a faint chance of ever taking the Senate again anyway, so maybe doing the right thing ought to come first.
Do it, 0coward!
The ONLY cure for that is new leaders that are more articulate and believe in conservatism thru and thru.
Romney probably had his heart in the right place, but was an inarticulate "severe" conservative. Conservative ARTICULATION is now the name of the game as the only way to pierce the agenda of the marxist enemedia.
Obamugabe hates the middle class.
And what a crash it's going to be.
That tells you right there how left-wing the Democrats have gotten. The White House is leaking to Mother Jones before any other news organization. Not the New York Times, not the Washington Post, not the LA Times, not AP, not Reuters - but Mother Jones.
Obamugabe not only hates the middle class, he hates capitalism, the Constitution, Christianity, and all things decent.
Same as his party.
Wow, I actually agree with Obamao.
Floating trial balloons via Mother Jones. What a pathetic tool. Go ahead, moron, crash and burn at the bottom of the cliff. Tweet all you want. Make as many Toutube videos between now and Christmas to send out to your minions. Pull out all the stops.
I am ready. GOP, stand firm. He's been pulling this 'holiday' crisis crap for four years.
"A political deadlock would mean an automatic tax increase for middle-class and wealthy Americans on January 1, and the opportunity for Obama and the Democrats to push a tax-cutting bill for middle-class voters in 2013, say the White House officials, who leaked the claim to two liberal columnists."
Republicans should propose to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. Let the Democrats vote on that.
The plan was to go over the cliff, the day the plan was made.
It was always a part of the plan.
People are gonna get exactly what they voted for with this guy. Lets tank it NOW. Why put it off. Let those libs become unemployed right now at the beginning of this fools term.
Crash the US. Al Qaeda and Soros on speed dial, living at 1600 PA AVE, DC.
Shove all-in over this P.O.S.'s bluff: he's holding a seven high.
"It wont be the Obama tax increase. He will blame the GOP. Then, Barry will happily EO his way around the debt ceiling if he has to. The GOP wont stop that."
Lots of snarky remarks before your reply, but you see things more clearly.
Actually, Obama's "strategy" is pretty sound. One may detest one's enemy, but it would be a grave mistake to underestimate him.
Let the tax cuts expire, and blame Republicans now for their refusal to "negotiate" (even though it's the 'rats who won't do so). Round one...
Next year, after taxes have increased, push for "tax-cutting" legislation, which the Pubbies will have to accept. If they don't, blame them AGAIN for "high taxes on the middle class". Round two...
Repeat in 2014, and the Republicans may have a hard time even hanging onto their majority in the House. Round three!
As G.W. would say, that's "strategery"!
So at what point do people who normally cut checks in April say no to this game?
Next year, after taxes have increased, push for tax-cutting legislation, which the Pubbies will have to accept. If they dont, blame them AGAIN for high taxes on the middle class. Round two...
You got it, FRiend. Next year the kenyan will ride in on his camel to save the day. He will propose the "Obama Tax Cuts" to rescue the middle class from the evil GOP.
You know it must kill the dims to constantly be forced to deal with the "Bush Tax Cuts". Well, here is the end of the Bush tax cuts all gift wrapped by Boehner and McConnell. Merry Kwanzaa to all!
I've said it a million times. If you want to shut down this corrupt government, millions would have to refuse to file, refuse to send them any payments, increase deductions to the max, and watch them squirm.
It's called a tax revolt. It's the ONLY way to keep what we have. But, it's not going to happen because the populace is scared of their own government.
Pathetic really.
Is anyone else tired of the blame game?
I, for one, don't care who blames who. Go over the cliff. Destroy the economy. I want this petty bickering to stop and somehow restore sanity.
I hate the GOP, I don't happen to care if they get blamed - same for the democrats.
It' s time to clean house.
Really????!!! That's your idea of a fair trade? Destroy the economy...in return for an end to petty bickering?
One would think that the U.S. economy was of somewhat more value than that.
I don't care how much you hate Republicans...and Democrats...why would you want to ravage the lifes of so many Americans just to get rid of petty bickering?
Given a healthy economy, I could put up with a whole lot of petty bickering...
How has this bickering and finger pointing helped so far?
The crash is coming, and they are all to blame. And by the way, it is not me who will be ravaging lives. It is the government R and D. They have been doing it, are doing it and will continue to do it.
They are implementing their plan. Do not listen to this BS. The more you do the more you will become their slave.
Obamanation style Communism File.
You really want to crash the economy...just to "stop the bickering"?
I understand your frustration...but you chose a very immature way to express it -- the "I'll break it, so nobody can play with it" approach.
And I don't think you really mean that...
The plan is the Detroit-ification of America. Economic destruction is perfectly compatible with permanent Democrat/communist rule.
The poll question wasn't "Who do you blame for shutting down the government?" It was "Who is responsible for shutting down the government?" Everyone I knew at the time was all in favor of shutting it down and gave the republicans credit. But, of course, the media said the majority "blamed" republicans. And that's how Clinton got a way with it.
No, its because of the Emergency WWII Measure called "Withholding" that was made permanent.
You can't stop "withholding" which provides DC with a constant stream of fresh revenue.
Even if millions of people were to suddenly refile their W4 forms and claim 100 dependents each, it wouldn't stop the flow of payroll taxes.
DC has managed to tap into everything. Its over, folks, you can't starve the beast that way. The only way for it to happen is for millions of small businesses to suddenly shut down all at the same time and discharge tens of millions of people all at the same time.
Not. Gonna. Happen.
First of all, I am not breaking anything. Secondly, the sooner this regime fails, the better for the country.
If you think it is immature to want the inevitable over with sooner rather than later, to face what needs to be faced in order to build a better future, than you were obviously born well before I was, and of course, much smarter than I will ever be.

Kunden Bewertung - Vereinigte Staaten
This app is fantastic. It blows all those freebies away as well as the priced ones. Well worth the money. It is very accurate. Within one yard on all of my distances on all of my local courses. If you buy this app you won't be disappointed.
Love this app! Seems to be a little inaccurate on the yardages on my home course, best think about is your able to keep every important stat possible and combine that with the golfplan app it really is a great tool to improve your game!! Love it!!!
Imagine: ...distances for every shot, wherever you are.
This is the app every golfer needs. I don't use it every hole or keep my score with it but to get your yardage when you need it, is pretty awesome. I might use it 10 times per round and haven't noticed it draining my battery at all. On my home course I'll jump around a lot, hate getting stuck behind the slow foursomes. With the ease of navigating to other holes and how fast the gps catches up with you is amazing. Bottom line this app is great.
I was VERY hesitant to purchase any golf app for a number of reasons (accuracy, additional costs, yearly fees, etc.). I did allot of research and rolled the dice on this. What a great move! Well worth the cost and includes GPS (which I compared to the one in the cart and it was dead on), keeps score and best, keeps valuable stats like GIR, Fairway in reg, putt count per hole and overall putt average. Very pleased and huge selection of courses, including private courses I have played. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a GPS app as this is so much more than a range finder. You can also score for your buddies and send the final scorecard via email. This app is awesome, you will not regret the purchase.
Does exactly what it says it will do. Excellent course info, accurate data and measurements. Watch out iPhone3S and 3GS users. GPS drains battery fast - charge before you go. IPad has map also, very nice!

I have used this app 4 or 5 times now and it works great. The yardages are very close to the markers on the course.

Fantastic app! I've been on the fence about getting a SkyCaddie but the $300 price tag really decided for me. Golfshot does everything that I've seen my buddies SkyCaddie do. After a fairly quick (2.5hrs) 18 it only used 25% battery. The only suggestion I have is a way to use the distance tracker somehow in the stats area to track and see trends on distances with each club. Other than that, it's a fantastic bargain considering the alternatives. Can't wait to use it again!
This app is dead on. I compared it to the GPS in the cart and it was a perfect match. I just wish my iPhone battery would last longer
Great application. iPad user. 4.5 hour round of 18 and I still have 50% battery. Loved the stats at the end of the round.
The best one ive used. worth the money..saves paper .. likes the score card
The best one ive used. worth the money..saves paper .. likes the score card
Works great as gps!
I LOVE to golf and I was excited to find this program.
I've played three times with it and won't play without it ever. Pinpoint distances to all major features. Totally reliable.
Awesome app! Does everything it says it will. Will improve anyone's game..
As a senior average golfer, two rounds a week, this is a great App. Use with my ipod with a Dual GPS with no problem with not having enough battery for the complete round. Just with the ipod on stand-by when not using. The yardage is accurate and scoring is easy. Statistics function is great to see where you need improvements. Highly recommend this App far over the other golf GPS Apps that are out there and have tried, Golfshot is the BEST!!!!
I've had GS for over two years now and have over 100 scorecards that I can still pull up and view when I want. It's been instrumental in helping with my game. For the price, no other golf app has compared. Golf logix claims they are the number one golf app but their gps is so shoty that the trial version didn't even function properly. Neither did the full version I was told by a friend who had it. If Golf Shot is left as is I would never complain for a second! The only thing I wouldn't mind seeing added would be second and third shot club selection and result and putt distance similar to G Logix options. I love the distance tracker on G Shot it would be cool if it recorded my occasional 300+ yrd drive somewhere though. As is like I said it's still my favorite app. With those additions it would send it into the stratosphere and would have to be crowned #1 Golf App! Thank you for your years of service GS and I only paid one time! You rule!
This is a great app for golfers. Keep track of your score, stats, and shot distances (not automatically). The app allows you to keep score, greens in regulation, puts, penalty stokes, sand saves, driving accuracy, and clubs used off the tee. I played a course that need updated... I sent a photo of the scorecard (within the app) and they updated the database within 2 days. Awesome! The yardages are very accurate and the aerial view allows you to pick a point on the green you want to hit. You will NOT be disappointed.
I used sky caddy for 3 years, I like this just as well and I don't have to pay any annual fees.
Used this first time at a course near Toledo. Never played before. Distances loaded up in 1-2 seconds every time, super accurate, distances to front, middle, back, hazards, it's all there. The aerial view is also great as you can gauge the distance to key layup spots on the course. This app saved 3-5 strokes easily. I was nervous about the $30 price tag, but if you are a semi-serious golfer, it's worth every penny
I used sky caddy for 3 years, I like this just as well and I don't have to pay any annual fees.
This is a $400 full color GPS for $30. Works Perfectly! this alone is reason to buy an iphone

I like to have a little background for the Universe and then learn the rest on the fly. Too much detail and a book just gets bogged down, but too little and it is hard to figure out what is going on.
bigferret at email dot com
There's a delicate balance. Sci-fi with too little detail might as well take place in Earth. Too much detail and I end up making lists to keep the characters, equipment and location straight.
Ideally, the author knows a ton of info (language, family trees, how the characters manage to get out of their crazy outfits when they need to pee) that doesn't all make it onto the page. The pieces that do become part of the story should give me the sense that the world is very much complete while not drowning me in miscellaneous info.
The book sounds great, and I look forward to reading it. Also, though I'm sure you know this, you have a lovely and talented wife.
I like a certain degree of detail. I say that too much detail is achieved when the author will talk about the scene and the green of the leaves and the number of plants and trees for more than a paragraph. Once I read a book where that went on for five full pages. Sometimes it's no wonder that fantasy or sci-fi books are 1000+ pages. It is all that over detail involved.
I like to learn on the fly, not just in Sci Fi, but in any other genre.
Thanks for the giveaway. Your book looks good, hope I win hehe.

Hi Nico 🙂
Thank you for sharing here today.
Your book is intriguing.
For SF (or Fantasy even) I prefer to just be dropped into the world.
C.J. Cherryh & C.S. Friedman do this the best that I've read (for both SF & Fantasy).
All the best,
I like to have some background and learn the rest as I go along. Please enter me in contest. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Nico ,
I preffer the Sci fi detalis to be simple but explicit 🙂
raluk.93 at gmail (dot) com
Hate info dumps and having last technical detail eplained to me. If you have a transporter I don't need to know how it works just that it does lol. This book sounda fanastic and I'd love to win it. I'm always looking for a good scifi romance. I am assuming this is a romance from the blurb.
scrtsbpal at yahoo dot com
I don't really like having tons of information obviously given to me. I do like having a map at the start of the book though, it's not useful until you get to know the places, but I like to refer back to it. A glossary isn't needed unless the words are especially obscure or are mentioned many times without being explained by anyone. Mostly I like to discover the world and it's details as the character travels through them.
Kate1485 at hotmail.com
I like my sci-fi the same as any other genre, with the details of setting and world-building interwoven with the action. This is a perfect time to show rather than tell. Don't tell me how big the spaceship is, let me intuit that for myself as the character bemoans how hard it will be for them to find the bad guy among all the levels and wings of the vessels.
On the other hand, the unique language of the world needs to be introduced slowly so that there aren't 6 unrecognizable words in each sentence. 🙂
Ugh, forgot my email:

Some detail is good, but not family trees and glossaries.
I like a little background but not family biographes

Great Read On Bart Scott Seriously read this
Posted 10 September 2010 - 10:11 AM
By GREG BISHOP
Published: September 9, 2010
In Baltimore, Scott went from anonymous undrafted free agent to special-teams standout to starting inside linebacker. He played alongside All-Pros like linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, so many stars that Scott said he often felt like the youngest member of the Jackson Five.
Over lunch Wednesday in Manhattans West Village, Scott kept coming back to Baltimore, to the city that embraced him, to the fans who identified with him, to the organization that developed him and will face him Monday night in the Jets season opener at New Meadowlands Stadium.
Theres nothing like your first best friend, your first puppy love, the first time you bought all in, Scott said. Youll never have that same dynamic. You only have one first.
The game will provide relief for Scott, who is still grappling with a family tragedy that occurred in June. On Fathers Day, as Scott was flying back to New Jersey from Detroit, his hometown, the fiancé of his oldest sister, Cutrice, was murdered there.
Cutrice Scott and Phillip Wade planned to marry. She had found a dress. That day, according to Scott, Wade returned home and found burglars inside. One stabbed him in the neck, and he bled to death in the arms of his 12-year-old son. When his sister reached Scott by cellphone, she could not speak.
Scott knows all about the dangers in Detroit. He once arrived at football practice at Southeastern High School to find a burned-out car in the middle of the field. His cousin was paralyzed in a random shooting at a bar.
Cutrice is my biggest fan, Scott said. This crushed her. I wanted to protect her. I wanted her to have happiness, too. Its just tough, man. Detroits a rough place.
Scott has since assumed the role in which he feels most comfortable: as his familys source of strength. When his sister lost her job recently, he paid for her to go back to school to study interior design.
That mentality, Scott said, came from his upbringing and his family, and from the Baltimore Ravens. As Scott prepared to face his former team, he dealt with his sadness using the lessons he learned in Baltimore.
When Scott signed with the Ravens in 2002, he received a $500 signing bonus. That covered his phone bill and little else, but it allowed him entry into what Scott described as the N.F.L.s version of Stanford for defensive players.
The City of Baltimore, he said, appreciated his story, his path from Southern Illinois to Lewiss side on the leagues most intimidating defense. His mother, Dorita Adams, remembered the first time Scott ran out of the tunnel as a Ravens starter, how it was so loud that she could not hear his name. Scott blew her a kiss and mouthed, We did it. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
On a conference call Thursday, Baltimore Coach John Harbaugh said nobody threw his body into traffic quite the way Scott did.
Scott remains close with several Ravens players, including Edgar Jones, LeRon McClain and Terrell Suggs. Scott said he mostly identified with players who are like him: non-Hollywood, unglamorous guys who got their work done and got rewarded.
Scott formed organizationwide relationships that endure for all weeks except this one. He befriended Ed Carroll, the Ravens longtime equipment manager, who declined an interview request but helped Scott donate weight-lifting equipment to his high school.
Scott also found kinship with O. J. Brigance, a former N.F.L. linebacker who works in player development for the Ravens despite having amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The men played the same position and wore the same number (57). It was Brigance who helped persuade Scott to return to college, where he earned a degree in economics a few years back.
Scott followed Coach Rex Ryan to the Jets before last season. He remains surprised that the Ravens passed over Ryan to hire Harbaugh, but Scott knew instantly that he would follow Ryan anywhere. He wanted their careers connected.
Ill ride with Rex, no matter what, Scott said. Tell me, who were the Jets before he got here? They were missing an identity. They were middle of the road. He turned this team into the most talked-about team in the N.F.L. All we have to do is back up his statements and, bam, instant success.
Even after Scott left Baltimore, he remained involved with the city. With the help of Valarie Wideman, a receptionist for the Ravens, Scott continued to feed 400 homeless people on Thanksgiving and hand out Christmas toys and throw parties for children at local roller rinks. He continued to adopt a local elementary school.
Jones took over one of Scotts events. Running back Ray Rice took over another.
I miss him so much, Wideman said of Scott. Everybody does. You still see people wearing his jersey in the street.
That works both ways.
Part of Barts heart will always be in Baltimore, said Adams, his mother.
Part of Scott wanted to stay there, too, and the Ravens offered a comparable financial package. But Lewis was already the cornerstone at linebacker, and Ryan made it clear to Scott that he, not Lewis, was his first choice. I was always Plan A, Scott said. That was the first time in my life I was Plan A.
Immediately after arriving in New York, Ryan and Scott set about imparting the Ravens culture on the Jets.
Now, Scott said, when the teams meet Monday, they wont admit it, but Im sure they miss Rexs genius on defense.
He ran so much of that team, Scott said. That defense is still good, but its not the same as when Rex was there.
As much as Scott credits the Ravens, he said he planned to go after them Monday night. The first time he played against Chester Taylor, a former Baltimore teammate, Scott lifted him and slammed him on his neck.
They know me, Scott said. They know the storm is coming.
As was widely expected, Rex Ryan named Matt Slauson the starter at left guard. Slauson, who is in his second year, had competed with the rookie Vladimir Ducasse for the position during training camp.

Not by a long shot. Pretty much anything involving science is harder than anything involving business. Physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, biology and any type of engineering is MUCH harder than economics. Within business, even finance is more difficult.

I'll give you applied science and engineering but finance? No. We're talking undergrad, not an MBA in financial engineering. Econ is rooted in advanced calculus. Finance touches on calc but is not as indepth. It's basically a combo of econ and accounting (and accounting shouldn't even be a college major).

Portrait of King George VI—Dedicatee of the Szyk Haggadah
Arthur Szyk, King George VI, London: 1938. Original watercolor and gouache painting. 7 ½" x 5 ¼". In original frame with fine French matting. Signed and dated. "Arthur Szyk Pinxit. [Latin: he painted it] London. 1938."
The Academy Award-nominated film The King's Speech sheds new light on the life of King George VI. Currently on view in Gallery 1 at the Legion of Honor is a portrait of the king that provides yet another glimpse of the royal.
King George VI was painted by Arthur Szyk in the illuminated style with an intricate, richly designed border pattern and a profusion of traditional iconography representing Great Britain. In this painting, the 43-year-old king is presented in full military uniform before an open window. Behind the window curtain of royal tartan cloth, the River Thames and the Palace of Westminster appear in exquisite miniature. In the upper right corner is a shield representing a composite of the United Kingdom's symbols. Topped by St. Edward's crown are: the motto of the Royal Order of the Garter "honi soit qui mal y pense" (evil be to him who evil thinks); the royal motto "Dieu et Mon Droit" (my God and my right); the lion of England and the royal unicorn of Scotland, the royal orb (crown), Scottish lions, and the Irish harp. Within the quarter-inch illuminated border are additional micro-shields with further symbols of the realm, including Scottish thistles, Irish harps and shamrocks.

Serves 4
This recipe is my homage to Sunday-morning brunch, which is one of those occasions when anything goes; in other words, be as indulgent and naughty as you like because it is certainly not the time to count calories or grams of fat. Feel free to add blueberries, nuts, and sultanas if the fancy takes you. The syrup can be made days or even weeks in advance and stored in the fridge.
Place all the pancake ingredients (except the butter) in a blender or food processor and process until a smooth, thick batter is formed. Leave the batter to rest while you make the syrup.
To make the syrup, dissolve the salt in 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan over a gentle heat, then add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and whisk well until smooth.
Heat a crêpe pan or nonstick large frying pan until quite hot and grease with butter. Spoon 1/4-cup portions of the batter into the griddle, spacing them well apart. Cook over medium heat until you see bubbles on the surface of the pancake, then carefully turn over and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Place the pancakes on a plate and cover with foil until you have cooked the entire batch.
Serve the pancakes laced with the warm syrup—be generous as the pancakes soak up a lot.

Bukit Gambang Resort City
Built within 727 acres of sprawling secondary jungle, Bukit Gambang Resort City is an integrated city resort featuring a myriad of natural and cultural attractions.
The water theme park offers slippery amusements as waves of liquid fun drench folks seeking to get away from the tropic's swelter. Plop yourself in a tube and ride the 24,000 sq ft wave pool that washes upon Coco Beach, where aspiring architects build underwhelming sandcastles, or bob along the Journey of Ice and Penguin Island in a lazy sprawl. Child-sized replicas of raucous adult rides allow children a glimpse into the excitement that comes with being an adult like adrenaline, living in the fast lane, and filing for taxes.
The Safari Park that opened its fronds to the public in March 2013 proffers an educational experience for kids and animal lovers alike, inspiring empathy and a love for nature with interactive and well-themed sections. White Lions prowl the grassy faux savannah of Simba Hill Plaza, while things that go bump in the night prowl nocturnally in the Night Jungle. Adopt a hands-on approach when visiting Foreign Village, where you get to touch the likes of white kangaroos, alpacas, llamas, wallabies, and human cubs. An African savannah-esque section is accessible via tram as a park ranger drives you through rainforest settings for reverse-zoo experiences filled with antelopes, giraffes, zebras, and Malayan tigers.

"LOVE these rainboots. The print is absolutely adorable and for rainboots they are pretty comfortable (although the top stitching is a little itchy, but wearing rainboot liners will fix that). They run a tad small (I wear a 5.5 and the 5 fit perfectly-even with boot liners). You can also easily remove the laces at the top if you aren't crazy about them."

You Heard it from this Birdy
"I read many reviews that suggested to get a size half bigger because these boots ran narrow. However, the closest size they had to mine was a 7, which is my normal size. So I ordered them and crossed my fingers they would fit because it was love at first sight with these rainboots. When they arrived, I immediately put them on...and they fit perfectly!! So thrilled!! My advice is to order some your size and try them out. The return/exchange policy for DSW is so easy, you can always return/ exchange them."

Super cute
"I bought these after getting caught on a rainy day in fall with flats on and decided I needed a rain boot. These are very comfortable and super cute and would buy them again in a heartbeat. The only thing was what looked like fish on the picture on the pattern on the site are actually birds...not a problem, actually made them cuter."

David Giuntoli - BELLO Mag 44 Spring Issue
David Giuntoli, star of NBC's supernatural crime drama 'Grimm,' covers the Spring Fashion Issue of BELLO mag. Under the covers, Giuntoli chats with Bello's Hiko Mitsuzuka about brussel sprout recipes, his obsession with the rock band Fugazi, and the beard he's grown since being on hiatus for several weeks.
"This is a hiatus beard," he tells Mitsuzuka. "I joked that you're not an actor until you grow a beard on your hiatus. Also, it's my one act of rebellion. I don't have to shave for two months? I'm not gonna shave for two months."
When asked if it's a part of his preferred personal style, Giuntoli responds, "I like to go faux intellectual." "Grow a beard, people think you're smart. Done."

Depraved Nations Winter Fashion Fair – F R O S T opens tomorrow 12.12.12 and it looks like it's going to be one hell of a fantastic event! There will be over 100 brands there offering discounted and exclusive items, live DJ's, Fireworks and free gifts!! I have seen many a teaser on Flickr, and I have one of my own to mention today!
Now, someone I really admire on Flickr, is AliceinChains Arun so if you want to see how someone else wears these items you should totally check out her Flickr or Blog, she is an inspiration!! /fangirl moment.
Epic is a store I adore, I haven't really blogged a lot from there but I own a huge chunk of the store, and I am always going back for more, it's one of those stores that just… is pure love! Jade has a lot of items out for Frost, and exclusives too! Everything except the horns and hair I am wearing in these pictures are for F R O S T from Epic, and I couldn't be happier!
This is the Arcangel Set, it's a ghostly white latex style suit, and it comes with Tango Applier HUD too, I am wearing my Tangos here too, unf it's so pretty!!! It comes with the mesh face/neck collar you see in three sizes, and I just fell in love with it. I'm also wearing one of the exclusive Evangeline LUNAR skins that Epic will have for sale at the Fair too, including the gorgeous piercing eyes.
The other item, is the Slasher Suit, again this comes with Tango Applier but I opted to wear this sans boobs, to show you that it can still look as good without them. It's a similar affair to the Arcangel, but the opposite, with a slashed front, hence the name! Both of these items are just delicious and I think you will be happy to have them on your tush!
Other items worn in the pictures are some of the Monchrome Hunt Gift from Half Deer (they have them in gacha to! hi, I'm a gacha addict), and both hairs are from Wasabi Pills! Poses from aDORKable!

Posted on 10/20/2011 6:17:38 PM PDT by kcvl
Wirh approval from the Obama adminstration
$529 million
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
So, does this count for US jobs saved or created?
Of course...
We have more than enough evidence that the government loan program is mismanaged, counterproductive and outright corrupt.
WHY is there not already a moratorium on new loans until the issues surrounding Solyndra and similar are investigated and addressed?
Every loan seems to be a half-a-billion here and a half-a-billion there. WHY hasn't the GOP worked to stop this now?
Now I know why the Google CEO was spinning so hard for Obama last week on TV.
The people in this administration are showing all the characteristics of the French nobility before the Revolution, exhibiting lavish lifestyles and providing images of wild extravagance as the people were starving. While Americans see their standard of living decline sharply the Obamas throw lavish parties, take luxurious vacations and underwrite luxury toys for the rich while running up deficits that were unimaginable just three years ago. Its as if taxpayers were French peasants, our money was Monopoly money and they represent a natural aristocracy. Its pitchfork time!
"We're not in the business of failing; we're in the business of winning. So we make the right decision for the business," Fisker said. "That's why we went to Finland."
Umm...Did he just call the U.S. a failure and a loser? It sure sounded like he did. (after accepting the loan, of course)
Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan
This guy Henrik Fiskar already sounds Finnish or German. (Come to think of it Fiskar is the name of a huge company in Europe that sells a lot of sheers and scissors, for example.)
Just wondering if maybe he had a inkling BEFORE he took the U.S. loan that, oops, there would be no U.S. manufacturer for his product and he'd have to take the production home — I mean, to Finland.
How do you take a half-billion dollar loan to produce a car and then realize a short time (designwise) that you haven't figured out who can manufacture your product.
So, if Algore is involved, it automatically becomes a "risk-y scheeeeme".
Oh, and I see that former VP Al Gore is a major investor in Fiskar Automotive.
How convenient.
Okay, I finished reading the article (was commenting as I went along).
We MUST start pushing for a MORATORIUM on these loans NOW.
Ricardo Reyes, Teslas vice president of communications, called us this morning to clarify that the company is considering another loan, and been working through the pre-application process. But Tesla hasnt made a decision on it or submitted a formal application to the US Department of Energy, which administers the loan program.
Tesla has no completed loan applications pending before the DOE, he said.
The program that has awarded loans to Tesla, Fisker Automotive and a handful of other car companies is separate from the one that gave $528 million to Fremonts Solyndra, which declared bankruptcy earlier this month.
Good catch!
But sad.
LOL!!! Just like the 'Hoopties for Hybrids' (Cash for Clunkers) fiasco! (That was a Van Jones brain fart, BTW.)
A pox on all of them and a moratorium on all these types of loans, regardless of which "program" they are under.
Donors, Bundlers, and Obama Allies Secure $1 Billion in Loans, Export Jobs to Finland
Stimulus Working as Intended
Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Departments $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.
Yet an audit this year by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, criticized the Energy Department for not keeping close enough tabs on its fleet of auto loans including those to Fisker and Tesla to ensure they meet benchmarks. The funding was issued under the $25 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program, one piece of a giant umbrella of DOE loans and loan guarantees going out the door.
DOE cannot be assured that the projects are on track to deliver the vehicles as agreed, said the GAO report examining the departments ATVM program. It also means that U.S. taxpayers do not know whether they are getting what they paid for through the loans. [emphasis mine]
The Fisker website says its vehicle will be an "electric luxury vehicle."
So this thing is for rich people, anyway! Way to go, President Obama! Tell OWS your taxpayer-funding an electric vehicle for it's a luxury car for fat cats! WOOT!
Update: Fisker Karma Electric Car Gets Worse Mileage Than an SUV
...these are GREEN JOBS.
How Fisker got $500 million in government loans for a fuel economy flop
When Fisker Automotive won heaps of praise from Vice President Joe Biden and a $529 million loan from the U.S. government, officials touted the Karma luxury sedan as getting up to 100 miles a gallon, going 50 miles on a full battery charge and offering "supercar" performance. None of those targets were met but Fisker's moving ahead, your tax dollars in hand.
The news of Fisker's shortfalls in its mileage targets announced yesterday was the latest in a series of misses since designer Henrik Fisker unveiled his concept in 2008. Fisker is still sticking to the goal of selling 10,000 Karmas this year, even though it can't legally deliver cars in California yet. And company officials pushed another deadline back Tuesday, telling the Wilmington (Del.) News-Journal that the smaller Nina sedan has been delayed from 2012 to mid-2013 at the earliest.
While the actual electric range and fuel economy numbers of the Karma 32 miles of electric-only range, a 52 mpg-e overall rating and only 20 mpg when its 2-liter GM turbo engine is on surprised many, they weren't shocking to auto industry observers who've noted the Karma was not just an expensive electric sedan, but also the largest and heaviest one to date. Early prototypes were hidden with bodies of Chevy Silverado crew cab pickups, and the Karma tips the scale at roughly 5,300 lbs. unloaded, thanks to 22 kWh of batteries stored under the floor.
The figures along with performance results that now peg the Karma's 0-60 time at an un-supercar 6.3 seconds were enough to convince one long-awaiting Fisker customer to consider asking for his deposit back on the $97,000 sedan:
This all needs to be shut down now.
I can't believe we haven't heard "moratorium" on Capitol Hill yet.
These people get caught with their fingers in the guacamole over and over again and the "loans," which uniformly put taxpayers at great risk, just keep flowing. Right in the open, too!
How's that cleaning of the swamp coming along.......? =.=
...The secret to access to the DOE money is The Westly Group, run by California Democratic Party stalwart and big Obama campaign bundler Steve Westly. The former eBay executive wasnt merely a prodigious fundraiser for Obama, raising $500,000 for his presidential campaign. He also served as the presidents California campaign co-chairman.
...Westly sits on a board that advises Energy Secretary Steven Chu

Obama Helped Supporters Get Millions in Illinois State Business
Ping to post #23.
It looks more and more like this president has taken 'free reign' of our tax dollars - with no outrage from our elected officials.
Every single day for the past three years, I have been shocked at the disgraceful moves by this president - and even more shocked that our Congress (and yes, Senate) are not screaming their heads off!
that kills the green jobs theory...
They finally realized they can publicly blatantly get away with it and they are.Who is going to stop them?
Senate Axes House Bid to Trim $25 Billion Green Car Loans
We are a very stupid nation. Sadly, I fear that America's greatest days are in the rearview mirror as we have a dwindling supply of people who get it and are willing to do something about it. Our "leaders" subsidized their rich friends, who outsourced the jobs to Finland with American taxpayer dollars. And all so that Leo DiCaprio and other elites can buy a fancy car. Wow. Leaders like this would be strung up by their toes in days gone by.

Congressional investigators try to deposition Solyndra loan memo author; DOE refuses
It greases the hand of an Obama operative...
Congressional investigators want to obtain transcribed interviews with Department of Energy officials involved with the Solyndra scandal, including the author of the legal memo justifying the restructuring of the solar companys loan, but the DOE has refused to submit, saying House Republicans dont have that authority.
On Oct. 18, the DOE informed the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is leading the investigation into the Solyndra scandal, that it would not allow the committee to perform depositions of DOE officials, including Susan Richardson, chief counsel of the DOE Loan Programs Office.

Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan
The initial 2012 Fisker Karma will in a future be delivered by a finish of this month and, fittingly, movie star Leonardo di Caprio will get a keys to Karma numero uno. Al Gore as good as Colin Powell will be receiving smoothness of their plug-in Fiskers shortly thereafter, according to Autocar.
Al Gore could become worlds first carbon billionaire
Last year Mr Gores venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.
The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.
The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.
The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.
Former Secretary Colin Powell Named Strategic Limited Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
MENLO PARK, Calif. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers KPCB an innovator in providing venture and relationship capitalSM services to entrepreneurs announced former Secretary of State Colin Powell has become a KPCB strategic limited partner.
The Karma, which has been beleaguered by a series of production delays, will cost about $100,000. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio already got his Karma, while former Vice President Al Gore and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, both of whom are affiliated with Kleiner, are expected to take ownership of their Karmas in the coming days.
Fisker Automotive, based in Anaheim, was founded in 2007. Designed by Henrik Fisker, the four-passenger Karma is assembled in Finland, with production scheduled to move to a former GM factory in Wilmington, Del. The cars will be sold through a national network of high-end car dealers. Fisker says it plans initial production volume of 15,000 a year.
"The Karma is a high-end vehicle that could replace a regular car," said Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of Edmunds.com. "But the segment of the market that buys cars that cost $100,000 and above is very small."
Lane said he expects Europe, where gas costs about $9 a gallon, to "smoke the United States" in terms of sales.
Kleiner has a vast cleantech portfolio, with transportation one of six cleantech sectors the firm invests in. Kleiner first invested in Fisker in January 2008, after looking at several business plans from electric-vehicle startups. Lane credited colleague Trae Vasallo with bringing Fisker to the firm's attention.
"There's no downside to a Fisker Karma except high price," said Lane. "But there is a consumer segment that buys high-end cars, that spends $120,000 on a Porsche. We underpriced this car. We brought an electric vehicle to market at a price below its competition in the internal combustion engine."
That car went to actor Leonardo di Caprio, who also is a Fisker investor
It looks more and more like this president has taken free reign of our tax dollars - with no outrage from our elected officials."
Why would they? they're making millions too and laughing at us because we can't do a thing about it.
Congress should raise hell about this anti-americanism!
Where the hell is the Republican opposition??
Why don't they raise hell?
Speaking with my gnomes as of late, the trend is to build new product in new "flexible" plants.
Unless they gut this old GM albatross and the structure is more open than I know, this smells of a boondoggle.
The sad parts?
* I have seen this car in person, looks like a 4 door Ferrari, it is stunning.
* To get the weigh down she needs to be aluminum / composite construction.
If so, the chassis should be made by Lotus and made somewhere other than this plant.
I know I am a bit off topic, you folks are right, we shouldn't be given out money to determine winners and losers. For the record this is different than the loans to Ford and GM to retool via EPA monies to meet the new fuel regs. different pool of money, but they shouldn't have regs that tight, it is stupid.
Yet more government waste subsidizing failed corporations.
didn't TESLA get about a million dollars per car they ever made from the Stimulus?? THAT wasn't enough??
20th Century Motors becoming reality??
John Galt has definately left the building
Obama is saving the economy! Of course it's Finlands economy, but still....
There's some bad karma coming our way...........

The Story Behind the Card: Mommy's Little Angel Mother's Day Card
How did our Mommy's Little Angel Mother's Day card become the comic gem that it is? Read the story behind the card:
Originally, this Mother's Day card featured a picture of a decidedly angelic little girl. But, our team wondered, how much funnier would it be–and memorable–if it featured a picture of your child instead? From there, it became clear that this Mother's Day card had some real comic potential. By selecting a picture that focused on a less-than-angelic child, we added a bit of ironic fun to this Mother's Day photo card to ensure that mom gets a laugh and some love this Mother's Day.
Our Mommy's Little Angel Mother's Day card isn't the only Mother's Day design to which that you could add a funny photo. Check out these two designs–one that features a child talking on the phone to the president, and another that sends a message from the good child–and consider adding your own inspired photo to send a funny Mother's Day card she won't forget!
Featured Cards: Mommy's Little Angel Mother's Day Card, Call From President Mother's Day Card, & From the Good One Mother's Day Card.

By SPENCER WRIGHTSalt Lake City
I made a mistake...In the opinion I recently sent in to the Progress, I bashed Exxon Mobil for stifling valid scientific research (while doctoring their own) on par with the cigarette companies. While that was true of Exxon in the past, that seems to not be the case now.
Apparently even Exxon (the company with arguably the most to lose, and who has spent millions of dollars to cover up global warming research), has jumped on the global warming "hype".
In speaking about global warming, Kenneth Cohen, VP for public affairs of Exxon, said "we know enough now � or, society knows enough now � that the risk is serious and action should be taken."
Consequently, I agree with Exxon's stance. We have an economy to run. We need to find solutions to problems and weigh those solutions with their effect on other problems. But we should not pretend that one of the problems doesn't exist (global warming) or that the valid scientific research is just a passing fad because we have another problem that we need to take care of (the economy).
