Occupy Wall Street to Obama: Don't Be Wall Street's PuppetPresident Obama is on the brink of cutting a backroom deal that would give bankers broad immunity for illegally throwing tens of thousands of Americans out of their homes. The administration is pressuring state Attorney Generals to undermine an ongoing investigation into the massive "robosigning" fraud, in exchange for a payoff by the banks.This is a clear, moral issue that cuts to the core of why we occupy. Instead of throwing corrupt bankers in jail, the administration is pushing to give them a get out of jail free card.President Obama and the Attorneys General have a choice: do they stand with Wall Street, or do they stand with the 99%?The occupy movement spread throughout the country because the American people will no longer abide the corrupt bargain between corporate and government elites.We will not stand for a country where bankers that issued deadly mortgage backed securities are bailed out, but homeowners with mortgages are illegally thrown out on the street.We will not stand for a system that gives campaign contributors a right to immunity, but doesn't give people the right to a home.We will not stand for a country where the 1% rule and the 99% have no voice.On Saturday, November 5th, Occupy Wall Street is marching from Liberty Plaza to the Federal Building at Foley Square to protest this bankrupt deal. We demand accountability for the criminals that destroyed people's lives and relief for those struggling for a home.We will not stand for President Obama acting as Wall Street's puppet.

SPRING GLEN/SALT LAKE CITY-Our wonderful mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, loving caregiver and friend, Zelpha Skriner Vuksinick died on Oct. 25, 2008 after a gallant battle with cancer. Her 99 year old heart needed to rest, as it was a big generous and loving heart.
She was born Sept. 6, 1909 in Rockvale, Colo. to Anton and Magdolena Blatnik Skriner.
Married the love of her life, Louis L. Vuksinick, Jan. 26, 1929 in Price; he preceded her in death on Sept. 30, 1989.
Zelpha was a member of the Social Order of Beauceant where she served as a High Priestess, member of the The Lydia Temple #32 (Daughters of the Nile), and she dearly loved these associations. She was also a member of the Catholic Church, Western Slavonic Lodge #52 and the Slovenian Home of Spring Glen.
Zelpha loved to clean her home, cook and entertain family and friends. She loved to speak and sing in the Austrian language when she met someone with the same interest. She belonged to the Ladies Bridge Club and these days were very special to her.
Since Sept. 21, 2001, Zelpha has been a resident of St. Joseph Villa in Salt Lake City, Utah. While residing there she made myriads of friends who she dearly loved; doctors, nurses, CNA's and especially the aides who took such loving care of her. There's too many wonderful people to name as they all meant so much to her.
Survived by her son, Dr. Louis (Janet) Vuksinick, Palo Alto, Calif.; daughter, Maxine (Wayne) Russell, Salt Lake City; grandson, Harold Russell, great-grandchildren, Gabrielle and Mason Russell; step-grandchildren, Gregory, Timothy, Anne, Jeffrey Peterson and their spouses; five step-great-grandchildren; sister, Antonia Corak; brother, Henry (Nadine) Skriner; sister-in-law, Violet Skriner; special friends, Leigh Nichols and Monica Stapley. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, Anton; sisters, Mary and Olga Skriner, Anne LePere, and Frances "Dollie" Perri.
Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, Nov. 1, 2008, 10 a.m., St. Anthony Catholic Church in Helper, Utah with a Vigil service beginning at 9:30 a.m. Friends are welcome to join the family at St. Anthony's Church Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Committal service, Mt. View Cemetery, Helper. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

Who's Better at Defending Criminals? Does Type of Defense Attorney Matter in Terms of Producing Favorable Case Outcomes
Thomas H. Cohen
Government of the United States of America - Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts
The role of defense counsel in criminal cases constitutes a topic of substantial importance for judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, scholars, and policymakers. What types of defense counsel (e.g., public defenders, privately retained attorneys, or assigned counsel) represent defendants in criminal cases and how do these defense counsel types perform in terms of securing favorable outcomes for their clients? These and other issues are addressed in this article analyzing felony case processing data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Specifically, this paper examines whether there are differences between defense counsel type and the adjudication and sentencing phases of criminal case processing. Results show that private attorneys and public defenders secure similar adjudication and sentencing outcomes for their clients. Defendants with assigned counsel, however, receive less favorable outcomes compared to their counterparts with public defenders. This article concludes by discussing the policy implications of these findings and possible avenues for future research.

05 Dec 2012, BioSpectrum Bureau , BioSpectrum
Singapore: Biostar Pharmaceuticals signed another one-year agreement worth $8 million to manufacture and supply Xijing Military Hospital with 16 new drugs used to treat a variety of diseases such as pharyngitis, nasopharynx, gastroenteropathy, nephropathy, asthma, hyperplasia of mammary glands, dermatosis, gynecological diseases, among others. Biostar had earlier signed a $3 million one-year agreement with the hospital to manufacture and supply five additional drugs.
The material terms of this agreement are similar to those of the first two agreements signed with the same hospital in September (for $3.6 million) and October 2012. With this new agreement, Biostar will be manufacturing a total of 24 drugs for Xijing Military Hospital (10 granules, 13 capsules, and one powder drug) with a combined value of $14.6 million.
Mr Ronghua Wang, CEO and chairman, Biostar, commented that, "We are pleased to have signed another drug manufacturing contract with Xijing Military Hospital as we continue to expand our drug portfolio with high quality products that are manufactured specifically for the needs of this hospital. The signing of these agreements is a result of our hard work to quickly complete experimental tests, trial production, and pass manufacturing technology and quality inspections. These types of contracts have the potential to generate substantial revenues, have very low sales expenses and a much shorter sales cycle."
M. Wang continued, "These agreements mark the initial step of our strategic partnership with the Fourth Military Medical University (FMMU), one of China's most prestigious military medical universities and research centers. As previously announced, we are working to become a strategic partner of FMMU in the fields of research and product development and also to become a production base for manufacturing drugs specifically for the needs of China's military."

Serves 4
This fruity and spicy dried red chile sauce, made with dried New Mexico and ancho chiles, turns ordinary corn tortillas and a few drizzles of sour cream into a feast. It's very unlike the gloppy "cheese enchiladas" of the typical Tex-Mex place on this side of the border. This method of frying a sauce-coated tortilla probably seems unusual but you're not frying the tortillas to get them crisp and golden. The idea is to make them supple, tasty and hot.
Break open the dried chiles, discard the stems, and shake out the seeds. Depending on how brittle the chiles are, you can use your hands or use kitchen scissors. The chiles contain a natural chemical that can irritate your skin or eyes, so be careful. If your skin is particularly sensitive, wear rubber gloves. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water when you have finished.
Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the chiles, and toast them by pressing them flat onto the hot surface with a metal spatula. Once they change color and you can start to smell them, they are ready. Don't toast them too long or they'll scorch. Transfer the chiles to a medium bowl, add hot water to cover, and let soak until quite soft, at least 30 minutes.
While the chiles are soaking, in a medium frying pan, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, season with 1/4 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to sizzle. Then reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the onion is very soft and sweet and is starting to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and sugar and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Remove from the heat and set aside until the chiles are ready.
Drain the chiles, reserving the soaking water. In a blender, combine the chile and the onion mixture and process until pureed, adding enough of the broth to create a smooth puree and stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender. Now add the remaining broth and process, adding a little of the soaking water if needed to get a nice pouring consistency reminiscent of very thick canned tomato juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or sugar if needed.
Heat the oven to 250°F to keep the enchiladas warm.
To keep things from getting messy, set up your workstation like this: Pour the chile sauce into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate. If you're right-handed, set this to the left of the stove and put the stack of tortillas within easy reach. Put a large baking dish—a 9-by-13-inch dish is a good size—to the right of the stove.
In a frying pan, heat 1 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat. Dip a tortilla into the chile sauce, coating on both sides and letting a little bit drip off, and then lay the tortilla in the hot oil. Watch out, as it will spit and sizzle. If there is room in the pan, coat a second tortilla and add it. Cook for 30 seconds, turn, and cook on the second side for a few more seconds until the tortilla is floppy and hot. Slip tongs or a long, thin metal spatula carefully under the middle of the tortilla, lift it carefully, and let any oil drip back into the pan. Transfer the tortilla to the baking dish, fold it in half, and then in half again to make a loose triangle.
Repeat with the rest of the tortillas, adding more oil to the pan as needed, and snugging the tortillas together in a neat single layer in the baking dish. Crumble the cheese evenly over the folded tortillas and pop them into the oven to warm back up, 5 to 7 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and lime juice and drizzle over the surface of the enchiladas. Serve right away.
The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Stunning shoes...but
"The shoes are absolutely stunning, however they are very narrow in the toe box. A shame!.. otherwise I would have loved to have worn them to a wedding, which I had planned to wear them. Regrettably, had to send them back."

"I loved these shoes from the minute I saw them, but when I tried them on, they broke my heart. The left shoe didn't fit! I've never had problems with only one shoe of a pair fitting, but had to smash my toes in the left shoe to get it on, and you could see the seams between my toes, which I don't care for."

Good Sam RV Travel Guide & Campground Directory
Good Sam Camping App
Crossing into Canada - 2011
So… you're planning a visit to our neighbors up north. From the rugged sea-swept coastlines to the beautiful Canadian Rockies, you'll find unlimited avenues of adventure. Cosmopolitan cities greet visitors with an evening of fine dining and dancing - a relaxing finish to a day of unsurpassed fly fishing. Herds of caribou cross miles of wilderness and charming homespun villages sell intricate arts and crafts particular to their cultural heritage.
It is indeed a different country. One certainly worth exploration. But before you and your rig hit the road and end up going to Canada, we'd like to clarify a few of the requirements and customs rules associated with traveling to another country.
Is identification required?
Is auto insurance required? Will I need a vehicle permit?
Will my health insurance be honored at Canadian hospitals?
Are there any restrictions as to what I can bring across the border?
Alcohol and Tobacco Products
Is money the same in Canada as in the U.S.?
Credit Card & Debit Cards
What is "duty" and "GST"?
Are there limitations as to what I can bring home?
We live in Canada and are returning home from the States. What are we allowed to bring back?
What about sending gifts to our friends in the States?
Are traffic rules the same?
Could you explain the metric system?
What about firearms?
Am I allowed to bring my pet?
Where can I write for more information?
Is identification required?
Visitors from all countries including the US need a valid passport to enter Canada by air or sea travel. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will require all Western Hemisphere travelers including land border travelers to have a passport or other accepted form of documentation to enter or re-enter the United States. Start your application early as there is a long wait. Other documentation may be requred, such as a visa or alien card. Check with a Canadian embassy for more information. Currently, US land border travelers are required to provide proof of citizenship upon entry into Canada. Please ensure you have either a valid passport or picture ID along with either a birth certificate or a voter registration cared.
Photocopies are not accepted. If under 18 you must be with a legal adult who has a signed letter of consent from your parents or legal guardian stating who you are traveling with, how long you will be there, where you are going, etc. Customs on both sides of the border will ask for this letter. Customs may want to contact the parent back home as well. Both the U.S. and Canadian governments urge frequent travelers to join the NEXUS trusted traveler program. NEXUS members receive a special travel card that allows expedited border crossings for both private and commercial travelers through both U.S. and Canadian border controls very quickly.
For more information contact:
Canada Immigration Division
Canada Employment and Immigration Centre
Ottawa, ON, K1A 0J9
or the US National Passport Information Center at (877) 4USA-PPT.

Is auto insurance required? Will I need a vehicle permit?
A valid driver's license from any country is good in Canada for three months. Car insurance is mandatory. Many visitors choose to carry a Canadian Non-Resident Insurance Card. Valid anywhere in Canada, the card is proof of financial responsibility and is available only in the U.S. through insurance companies.
Motor vehicle and RV registration cards should be carried with you. If the vehicle is registered to someone else, you should have a letter from that person stating authorization of use.
If you plan to leave your vacation trailer in Canada when returning home, ask Canada Customs for an E99 permit. Make a note of the expiration date and post the permit in the window of the trailer so it can be easily seen. Keep in mind, you cannot store a vacation trailer in Canada during the off-season.
If you need to leave your boat or boat trailer during the off-season, be prepared to prove that maintenance work is being undertaken by a bona fide marina or service depot. Customs rules will require a copy of a work order from the establishment handling the repairs. This work order must contain a description of the article, owner's name and address, type of work to be done and the time and location at which the work will be effected.
Back to top
Will my health insurance be honored at Canadian hospitals?
You will not be refused treatment at Canadian hospitals; however, you may be liable for the cost. Most health coverage does not extend outside the country of residence. Visitors to Canada should obtain insurance before leaving home.
Back to top
Are there any restrictions as to what I can bring across the border?
Personal baggage (in reasonable quantities) is duty-free, provided all items are declared upon entry and are for your own personal use (not intended for resale). Personal items include camping, fishing and other recreational equipment, boats & motors, cameras, typewriters, musical instruments and consumable goods. Any gasoline or oil imported, beyond the normal capacity of your vehicle, is subject to duty. Americans may bring up to $60 in gifts per recipient (excluding alcohol and tobacco.) All drugs and medicinals must be declared when crossing the border. A good rule of thumb is to only take with you what you will need while you are on your trip. These items must be carried in their original containers, and carrying a prescription or written statement from your physician that the substances are being used under a doctor's supervision, and are necessary for your physical well being is strongly recommended. Travelers must take note, in
virtually all instances; individual citizens are prohibited from importing prescription drugs into the U.S. For further information regarding this, travelers are urged to call 202-307-2414 prior to crossing the border.
Back to top
Alcohol and Tobacco Products
Visitors may import with a minimum of 48 hrs. length of absence, duty free, the following: a maximum of 1.5 liters (40 ounces) of liquor, 1.5 liters of wine, or 8.5 liters of beer or ale. If you're 18 or over, you can transport duty-free 100 cigars (not of Cuban origin), 200 cigarettes, 200 grams of tobacco and 200 tobacco sticks. Federal taxes and duties will apply on additional goods brought into Canada. Visitors who include tobacco products in personal exemptions will still have to pay a minimum duty on these products unless they are marked "Canada Duty Paid – Droit Acquitte." All provincial taxes and duties will also be levied on all foreign tobacco products.

Is money the same in Canada as in the U.S.?
The unit of currency is the Canadian dollar, which amounts to 100 cents. Monetary units are 1 and 2 dollar coins, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar bill denominations. Banking hours vary, but are generally Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; however, some banks are open on Saturday. Banks are not open on official Canadian holidays. At any bank or ATM machine, you can withdraw Canadian funds from a foreign currency account.
To get the best rate of exchange, change your traveler's checks into Canadian currency at a Canadian bank just after you cross the border. For the latest exact exchange rates, go to
Back to top
Credit Card & Debit Cards
Many stores, restaurants and accommodations in Canada accept major credit cards (e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express). Debit cards are becoming increasingly popular and can be used almost as readily.
Credit and debit card charges will appear on your statement converted to your home currency. Be prepared for a pleasant surprise— the currency exchange rate is usually one of the best.
Back to top
What is "duty" and "GST"?
"Duty" is the same as tax. Duty-free means you won't be taxed on the items.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a Canada-wide 7% tax charged on nonessential items. Visitors to Canada can apply for a GST rebate if they are not residents of Canada and they made the eligible purchases while in Canada. Goods qualify for a rebate if: 1) You have original receipts with proof of export; 2) Your purchase amounts (before taxes) total at least $200 Canadian, or 3) Each individual receipt shows a minimum purchase amount (before taxes) on which you paid GST of $50. There is no rebate on items such as meals, entertainment, liquor, tobacco and gasoline. There are time limits for applying and as the visitor rebate program is being revised, check for further information before applying for a refund at 800/668-4748 (in Canada) or 902/432-5608 (outside Canada) or
Back to top
Are there limitations as to what I can bring home?
When re-entering the U.S., be sure to list your purchases, have your sales receipts handy and pack your purchases separately for convenience of inspection.
If you've been in Canada more than 48 hours, you may bring back, duty-free, $800 (based on fair retail value in Canada) worth of articles for personal or household use. If less than 48 hours, the maximum is $200. If purchases exceed the $200 exemption, you lose the exemption and all purchases become subject to duty. Also considered duty-free are 100 non-Cuban cigars, one liter of alcohol and one carton of cigarettes.
Any purchases in excess of the allowances may be subject to duties and taxes.
There are restrictions on exporting objects over 50 years old that are of historical, cultural or scientific significance. Items subject to export permit requirements include fossils, archaeological artifacts, fine and decorative art, technological objects, books and archival material.
It's best not to bring fresh fruits, vegetables or meat into the United States. But if you plan to, contact APHIS (Animal and Plant Inspection Service) and get a copy of Traveler's Tips, which lists what you can and can't bring and also items for which you'll need a permit. The plants, cuttings, seeds, unprocessed plant products and certain endangered species that are allowed into the United States require import permits; some are prohibited entirely. Every single plant or plant product must be declared to the Customs officer and must be presented for USDA inspection.

We live in Canada and are returning home from the States. What are we allowed to bring back?
That depends on how long you've been gone. If you've been out of Canada for 24 hours you may bring back goods worth up to CAN$50, duty-free. If you've been away for 48 hours or more you can bring back up to CAN$400 and after 7 days away you can bring in duty-free goods worth up to CAN$750. A minimum duty will apply to cigarettes, tobacco sticks and loose tobacco.
Back to top
What about sending gifts to our friends in the States?
Mark the package "Unsolicited Gift" and list the contents and fair retail value. If the retail value isn't over CAN$60, you can send it tax-free. If it's over CAN $60, you will have to pay duties and taxes on the excess amount. You cannot claim alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or advertising matter as gifts.
Back to top
Are traffic rules the same?
Yes and no. In some provinces, the use of radar warning devices is illegal. In some provinces, even the possession of radar warning devices is illegal. Police officers can confiscate such devices and fine violators.
Seat belt use is mandatory for all drivers and passengers in Canada. Don't forget car seats for youngsters. In Yukon, children under 48 lbs. or 6 years of age must use an approved child restraint device. While traveling on Yukon highways, the law requires the use of headlights at all times.
Back to top
Could you explain the metric system?
Distance & Speed Limits (Kilometers):
Kilometers refer to both distance and speed. A kilometer is approximately 5/8 mile. To convert miles to kilometers: number of miles x 1.6 = kilometers; and number of kilometers x 0.62 = miles.
Temperature (Celsius):
9/5 x 0C + 32 = Fahrenheit
F - 32 x 5/9 = Celsius
Gas and oil are sold in Canada by the liter. One U.S. gallon is approximately 3.8 liters. (One Imperial gallon is approximately 4.5 liters.)
Back to top
What about firearms?
All firearms and weapons must be declared to Customs at the first point of entry. A non-restricted firearm is a regular sporting rifle or a shotgun with a barrel over 470 mm (18.5 in.) and an overall of 660 mm (26 in.) which does not fall into the category of a prohibited or restricted firearm. It is illegal to import any revolvers, pistols, replica firearms or fully automatic firearms into Canada. A non-restricted firearm may only be imported for sporting or hunting use while in Canada, for use in competitions, or for an in-transit move through Canada. Any restricted firearms may be shipped in bond via a commercial carrier to the person's destination. Visitors bringing non-restricted firearms into Canada must complete a Firearms Declaration Form.
For more information regarding restricted and unrestricted firearms, please contact:

Am I allowed to bring my pet?
All pets must be accompanied by their owners and must have a certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian clearly identifying the pet and certifying that it has been vaccinated against rabies within the preceding 36 months. Collar tags alone don't count. Exceptions are made for Seeing-eye dogs and puppies or kittens younger than 3 months old. If your family pet is somewhat unusual (a ferret, for example), check if a permit is required.

Posted on 11/30/2012 12:21:33 PM PST by SeekAndFind
New York energy regulators told power companies in New York City to develop plans to keep the lights on in the Big Apple in case the giant Indian Point nuclear power plant, which supplies about a quarter of the city's electricity, is forced to shut down.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wants the two reactors at Indian Point shut when their operating licenses expire in 2013 and 2015 in part because the nuclear plant is located in the New York metropolitan area, home to some 19 million people.
The governor has said even the most unlikely possibility of an accident is too much in the heavily populated area.
U.S. power company Entergy Corp, which owns Indian Point, says, however, the plant is safe, and the company is seeking to extend the reactors' licenses for another 20 years.
The 2,063-megawatt (MW) Indian Point plant is about 40 miles north of Manhattan along the Hudson River.
"Entergy and its employees continuously demonstrate the plants are safely operated, and is committed to safely operating this important facility for many more years to come," Entergy spokesman Jerry Nappi told Reuters Wednesday in an email.
On Tuesday, the state's energy regulator, New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC), directed New York City power company Consolidated Edison Inc to work with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to develop a contingency plan to address the needs that would arise in the event Indian Point shuts down.
NYPA is a state-owned power generator that supplies electricity to government customers in New York City, including schools, hospitals, government buildings, subways and commuter trains.
"We will comply with the Commission's directive to work with the New York Power Authority to develop a contingency plan addressing the needs that would arise in the event of an Indian Point shutdown,"
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.chicagotribune.com ...
During the peak of summer, the reliance on Indian Point sometimes reaches 30%.
A shutdown of Indian Point, without sufficient alternatives, would threaten electric system reliability and potentially raise electric market prices.
Fukushima's accident made people nervous about nuclear energy, so they want to shut Indian Point down to avoid something similar happening in the future.
The big question is this -- WHAT DO THEY REPLACE INDIAN POINT WITH ?
IOW, Cuomo is a kook.
"Indian Point supplies over 25% of New York City, Long Island and Westchester's electrical energy. Over 2000 Megawatts of energy ( millions and millions of people rely on it ).
During the peak of summer, the reliance on Indian Point sometimes reaches 30%.

Fukushima's accident made people nervous about nuclear energy, so they want to shut Indian Point down to avoid something similar happening in the future.
The big question is this — WHAT DO THEY REPLACE INDIAN POINT WITH ? "
Pataki said years ago if the plant closes a minimum of 5 conventional plants would be needed to take up the slack. The enviros went wild so he said it stays open.
I don't see what the big problems is. They can go back to using slide rules and abacuses in the financial districts. Climbing stairs is good for your health we are told, and think of the stimulus to the candle-making industry.
Is there even a possibility of a 9.2 earthquake and tsunami at Indian Point? Really? Oh, and by the way, forget about natural gas too: no fracking anywhere in NY.
Get ready to freeze in the dark, New York voters, when the idiot environazi/Rat cabal that you sent to Albany and DC arbitrarily shuts down almost 30% of your electrical capacity. Elections have consequences, dopes.
Oh please oh please oh please oh please.
The Precautionary Principle... the totalitarian dictator's best friend.
Howz his gal friend gonna bake her fresh hot buns for him every morning? solar power.. hhhaaa..
Windmills, thousands of 'em, and millions and billions of solar panels too. Whoopee!
If those farging idiots thought being witout power for a few days every 10 years or so is the end of the world wait until weekly rolling blackouts are the new normal.
Maybe they should plan on replacing Indian Point with nothing at all. If New Yorkers are unwilling to bear the risks they don't deserve the benefits.
Shut down both reactors right now. I bet it would take all of week of a few thousand massive trailer mounted diesel generators parked outside every major NYC office building for them to start begging for Indian Point to be started again.
Meanwhile Shoreham lies gathering moss and rust..
I'd rather have a nuke power plant next door than a major airport.
growing up as a kid , we had plants in a couple spots within 50 to 75 miles of us in minniesoda.. no big deal.. and there was plenty of population closeby..
cuomo is a chump.. a wannabe big time player.. his mask if removed, let his future freeze like his constituents.
This is just nuts. In light of what New Yorkers are already facing, just how in the Sam Hill are they going to fund the shutdown..and the 'alternative?'. Trying for a Federal bailout? California, Chicago, New York...these people have gone completely around the bend.
Bookmarking for further comments..
The beauty of gubment by liberal fairy-tale fiat is that it's not their problem.
Private industry needs to figure out the fix and it had better be fast, cheap and free or it just proves that they want to irradiate people for profit, or something.
The reality hurts their cause.
Nuclear accounts for about nine percent of America's energy, according to the Energy Information Administration, and has yet to cause a single fatality here. Wind, on the other hand, provides the United States with only 0.7 percent of its energy, and has been responsible for 35 deaths in the United States alone. So if we're trying to weigh the costs and benefits of each, it seems wind fares far worse than nuclear. Yet no one seems to be discussing plans to halt production of all new wind farms until Americans' safety can be guaranteed.
Considering the extreme success we had preparing for a major storm up here, I'd say they'll replace it with widespread panic.
Oh the irony...
Hurricane Sandy took the lights out, and we haven't heard the end of it yet.
And now Cuomo wants to cut his city's energy supply by one third.
Reason 42,722,893,065,441,529 why Leftist group-think is a mental illness.
The simple fact is that even if NYC wanted to replace the nuke plant generation, It's probably not possible to permit/site/build the generating facilities in two years.
Just following in the footsteps of daddy. Mario Cuomo was governor when Shoreham was built. It was fine for all the union jobs and the taxes they made LICO pay for the plant. Once the work was done the environmental wacos said it cant run unless they have an evacuation plan. Cuomo told all state agencies not to approve any evacuation plan so it was DOA. Then he bought the plant from LICO for one dollar.
LOL Where are all the green a$$holes going to get their power?
Hey Andrew, maybe you should ease up on the Anti-Fracking mumbo jumbo on the western side of the state.
Drinking birds!
Thousands of hyper scale drinking birds generating 'free' power each time they bob up/down!
With only a few minor technical problems to solve 'free' power day and night!
Vermont tried to shut down Vermont Yankee, but failed.
"Get ready to freeze in the dark, New York voters, when the idiot environazi/Rat cabal that you sent to Albany and DC arbitrarily shuts down almost 30% of your electrical capacity. Elections have consequences, dopes."
They'll blame the rate increases on greedy corporations and Republicans. This plant is about 15 miles NE of me, never had a problem with it. There are however some hysterical types over in NY who live near it and think it's going to blow up or something, and that it's causing cancer.
New Yuckers.......you can live in the dark.
Your analysis is excellent. But facts make no difference to True Believers. Using its successful tool of incrementalism, the hard Left (which counts Cuomo as a member) will create a power shortage, increase prices astronomically and get away with blaming it on "Republican greed and obstructionism." Just wait and watch.
The nukes in general are the safest power plants because of all the redundant safeguards. They are built for overkill. Fukishima OTOH disregarded recommended & required GE bulletins. Fukishima and Chernobyl are the exceptions because they didn't follow protocol.
Cuomo actually has a moment of sanity. I never thought that I would see the day.
This is a dangerous situation and they need to shut that nuclear power plant down immediately, not wait for two years. another storm, earthquake, freak accident, global warming and NY will be toast, literally. and cuomo will be responsible. he knew it was dangerous and he let it continue anyway.
Obama is blocking coal genrated power plants and shutting them down.
I believe that this is a winnning plan for the Democrats. Supoort them on this. Build windmills (watch the fun)
The big question is this — WHAT DO THEY REPLACE INDIAN POINT WITH ?
Well, silly, the smart liberals have some double secret alternative energy supply they've been waiting to spring on their globe. Algore only needs global energy taxes and a carbon trading scheme to fund his alternative energy invention.
I'm sure the socialists will fix any shortages they cause. : (
Same here in CT. I have friend who live within a few miles of Millstone and doesn't care. However some people think it will turn into a mushroom cloud any second now.
I once swam off a beach withing sight of Millstone. Strangely, no effects or three eyed fish spotted.
Is there even a possibility of a 9.2 earthquake at Indian Point?
Yes. http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~sykes/pages/EqCatNYC-Phil.html
It will happen. Someday. It has happened in the past. The Ramapo fault is active, just had minor trembler in mid-November.
This is the situation, with a single change in Federal law, the Indian Point Plant will not gain reapproval, all that is needed is a change in one regulation regarding fault lines:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission only considers the threat of earthquakes or terrorism during initial licensing hearings and does not revisit the issue during relicensing.
ConEd cut corners building the plant, specifically cut corners in earthquake resistance superstructures. To save a buck. Back in the design phase in 1960's.
>> Meanwhile Shoreham lies gathering moss and rust..
A craphole project wrought with break-n-patch construction activity.
Oh, but Maine is so much smarter.
They didn't fail, and now we have among the most expensive power rates in the US.

So, as a kid I used to hate it when any of the "Nutcracker" music came on. I wanted "Frosty", and "Rudolph", and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town". I could never figure out what was so Christmasy about The Nutcracker.
But over the years I have really come to appreciate the music. It's to the point now that it wouldn't be Christmas until I heard The Nutcracker Suite.
It really is an excellent piece of musicianship and creativity, in my opinion.
Anyone else experience a late appreciation for The Nutcracker?

I hope this is the right place to post this, if not please move it to the correct subforum or close/delete.
Anyway, to jump into my request I came across a picture last week and I find it <the> most awesome image I have ever seen in a manga/manga style drawing.
Without further suspense:
Now the reason for asking this is, I got a wall in my appartment that is boring and plain white. The idea is to get a few of my art buddies to come over and paint those three panels on the wall. Pretty cool no? Anyway, they are pretty lame about low quality stuff and they want a better version of that pic.
I was thinking, if I knew the name, I can buy the manga/get the manga online.
Your efforts will be dearly appreciated.
ps. pardon my bad English for it is not my first language.

Andiamo Melissa Wedge Sandal review
"So So disappointing my shoe heart was splintered into a million pieces. On unpacking I instantly hated this shoe. The red is VERY LOUD. It is ill fitting. I keep returning to the description page expecting to see faux before the description of leather. Most disappointing purchase on DSW"

Cute, But Not Very Comfy
"I purchased these in red to wear on a dinner cruise. They are super cute, and much more shiny/glittery than they appear in the photos. The only problem that I have with these shoes is that the straps are placed so that my little toenails (especially on the right foot) get caught on the strap over and over again."

I'm not sure yet if I should use the wire for full guidance or only as a lawn edge detector and let the mower move randomly within the lawn. I would lay the wire on top secured with big staples and let the grass grow over it.
Thanks cr0sh. What a great idea! I'll check into it. I looked into it. Seems that the tracer sensor needs to be within a few mm of the wire. I need a sensor distance up to about a meter. =(Thanks anyway!
Well done I have a friendly robotics lawn mower that I would like to hack with your approach. My lawn mower starts to spin the wheels when it tries to go up a hill steeper than 15 degrees...It would be nice to detect slippage of wheels and change direction when this is detected. Does your yard have many hills? Maybe the weight/wheel chair wheels don't have this issue

This hasn't been my experience. Tea in this age range is demanding of the brewer to extract the fullness, IMO.
Well, it might be caused by Oxford water which is not the best indeed - but it was quite like that even back in Prague, both with Brita filtered water and tea stove water. I think that good tea of this age is actually quite non-demanding (compared to young puerh) to get it right, given good water - I drink mostly 90s-2005 teas for some time and with most, I have no problem getting them right.
There are some quite tricky teas at that age (and at almost any other age), no doubt, but even when they are not prepared at their best, you can usually see some potential in them - with this 03 Nannuo, I don't see much good - it's just another too dry stored woody tea imho.

Tongue Lashing
The mounds of mud lying on the roads like landslides in the Himalayas have amazingly disappeared. Each and every bus stop now has a rain shelter and has been decorated with splendid photographs of beautiful women dancing, shopping or posing in skimpy outfits to slogans of "Shopaholic Delhi", "Amazing Delhi" and other similar corny captions. It's a good time to buy scripts of companies that manufacture paint and road signs as the roads have received a new coat of paint, zebra crossings have appeared and the cement tiles at the edge of the road are painted in red, yellow and white. Road signs like "Stop", "Pedestrian Crossing" that I had only read about in Automobile Association of India manual in my youth to acquire my first driving license are now visible on the road. Each and every government office has large blue and white signs in English and Hindi. Leafy plants have been planted in the dividers between the road lanes. Every monument has a red signage and the multitude of informative road signs makes one feel like one is in the pedestrian tourist district of Rome.
Hundreds of traffic police seem to have appeared out of thin air as every signal now has both a man and woman cop. They have obviously been given new uniforms which all of them have inaugurated today. The sleeves are rolled down to the cuff and buttoned up. Belts hold up the perfectly pleated trousers. The slums on the way have either disappeared or been pushed back from the periphery of the road.
This transformation has taken twenty four hours. The city is once again buzzing as every hotel lobby is streaming with visitors for the games. The area around Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium looks rather spectacular with the stadiums rising into the well lit sky like space ships. Apparently the army has been called in to repair the fallen pedestrian bridge in record time.
I know, one is shaking ones head and wondering that if we have the potential to transform in such a short time why did we have to face such international disgrace. However, it's not a good idea for "Delhiwallahs" to pack their bags and depart for holidays at this juncture. Even visitors who are planning to cancel their trips to India due to bad press coverage and mismanagement of the preparedness should rethink their move. I told the kid in the morning that she did not need to put the regular mosquito repellent for her practice at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium for as a veteran in the Rajdhani one knows when the last straw is about to be placed on the camel's back and when the government will get its act together.
I propose that all cabinet ministers are put through teacher's training to augment their disciplinary skills, what say thou?
13 comments:
Absolutely spot on Sharmila. Why only disciplinary skills....they need to be trained to be honest, committed , non corrupt ...and the list goes on. I doubt if there's any school whcih could impart these skills to our corrupt bureaucrats and politicins.Most are beyond redemption.ReplyDelete
It's too little too late. But let's hope no more disgrace comes our way. Really it's such a shame, when the whole world is watching.ReplyDelete
We dilliwalas can only wish things don't go worse than this.
Aal izz well and we hope and pray it ends well ;))))ReplyDelete
Wonderfully written post.ReplyDelete
Your post paints a spectacularly different picture of Delhi as compared to all the stories on the TV and the news website.
It is always nice to see such a transition. And as a proud Delhite, you must be hoping that things are this good - now and always.
But one thing is for sure. This kind of transition was expected to be done some time back. But as always, better never than late.
Of all the CWG jokes making the rounds, the most appropriate is probably the one that surmises that the word "Calamity" owes it's roots to the Sanskrit word "Kalmadi"---Eg--"The games are going to be a complete Kalmadi", or "It's a Kalmadi waiting to happen." While he is not the only "Gillty" party to the loot and pillage (surely Delhi babus have a glorious and uninterrupted history of this), the Prime Minister's gentle slap on the wrist at the eleventh hour is too little too late.ReplyDelete
Today's news tells us of an Indian athlete who's bed, (no doubt crafted of the finest sawdust that the remains of the siphoned funds could buy)collapsed whan he sat on it.
While the games will go on, and India will win a record number of medals, thanks to star international athletes having already pulled out, you can be sure this is not the last of the collapsed bridges and beds.
It is no coincidence that the games now have a new PR Chief, who presumably will get more dirt swept under the carpet than dirty linen exposed in public. More 'Kalmadis' will happen--we just may not get to hear of them.
It's great to know that my Delhi has changed. Thanks for informing Sharmila.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed reading your post as I always do...great to know about the last minute cleaning up...do look under the carpets too, Sharmila, it may all come back to the streets the day after the games...:DReplyDelete
We are Crisis people...nothing else propels us ever!
it is rare to find a person who gets into politics to serve people and the country... now the only aim is to serve themselves and their family for ages to come! but there are still few gems around... I agree!ReplyDelete
Did this really happen?..wow...honestly I amazed to hear this....ReplyDelete
A right time for citizens to ask for accountability for every invested penny and reckless action by people concerned.ReplyDelete
Nice read. I just wish that Mr. Singh had cracked the whip earlier this year and we might not have got such a bad press.ReplyDelete
Even after several years of experience in the field of politics and having able bureaucrats under their control...if these ministers are still not able to run a country then I think nothing else will help.ReplyDelete
But yes I think having a better role model other than our soft-spoken and shy PM might have helped.
P.S: This is unrelated but if you like my entry for the 'Share Life' contest pls do cast a vote. Vote only if you like the post though...thanks :-)

The National Zoo is preparing panda cub Bao Bao for her public debut by doing a trial run in front of the media. The four and a half month old cub has appeared to be very calm and relaxed. VPC
At four months old and nearly 17 pounds, baby Bao Bao is learning how to climb.
WASHINGTON -- Cameras were snapping like the paparazzi Monday morning, but the panda cub paid no mind.
At four months old and nearly 17 pounds, baby Bao Bao is as precious as the meaning of her name. Climbing and stumbling in her den, she's almost toddler-like.
"You're right," said National Zoo Senior Curator Brandie Smith. "She went through infancy when she could crawl and now she's learning to climb and stumble around. It's really fun to watch her now."
Zoo staffers are taking baby steps to get Bao Bao ready for the spotlight by slowly introducing her to people.
"We're working on the yard and trying to cub proof it," said animal keeper Laurie Thompson.
But even when you come to visit her at the National Zoo, Bao Bao may not always be outside -- after all, she's just a baby.
"Sometimes she'll be out and people will get a great experience, other times she'll be tired and we won't compromise her safety so if she's tired, she'll be sleeping."
Still, Bao Bao is gaining her independence. When mom Mei Xiang walked into the den, she checked on her cub and then left for some breakfast.
Both giant pandas are doing their own things.
"She's definitely independent. She is not at all worried that Mom is not there all the time," explained Thompson.
Smith says Bao Bao will probably stay at the zoo until she's about four years old and then she'll head to China for the breeding program there.
"And that's what's really great is this is an endangered species that we were able to create here and we get to share that moment with everyone so everyone can be a part of our success," said Smith.
Friends of the National Zoo, or FONZ members, will be able to celebrate that success in person from Jan. 11 to Jan. 17. Everyone else can visit Bao Bao beginning Jan. 18. The panda den is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
