In 1901, Bishop Nicholas A. Gallagher, the third Bishop of the Diocese of Galveston, established a school for boys located in La Porte, Texas. The school consisted of some thirty boys from grade six to high school, six seminarians, a four-priest faculty from the Basilian Fathers, and Dominican Sisters to manage the domestic duties. As vocations began to increase the bishop directed the construction of a concrete building to house the chapel, dining hall, offices, and dormitories. Due to needs in other areas of their ministry, the Basilian Fathers withdrew and diocesan priests then assumed the duties of the faculty. The seminary continued to prosper with the ordination of men to the priesthood highlighting the end of the school year.
Bishop Wendelin J. Nold marked the celebration of the golden anniversary in 1951 with two major announcements: The Vincentian Fathers would replace the faculty of diocesan priests, and a new seminary would be built in Houston. A fifty-acre tract of wooded land located at the present site on Memorial Drive was donated by the Laurent, Smith and Strake families. A fund-raising campaign yielded over three million dollars for the project. Maurice and Charles Sullivan were contracted for the architectural design and the Linbeck Construction Corporation was selected to do the construction.
On November 4, 1954, Samuel Cardinal Stritch of Chicago dedicated the seminary with a host of bishops, clergy, and local dignitaries in attendance. At that time the plant included all the present buildings with the exception of the library, gymnasium, and Nold Education Center. As with the seminary in La Porte, the number of vocations increased greatly. With gifts and donations from both clergy and laity, the furnishings were completed in 1958.
During the academic year of 1964-1965, the college seminarians began taking some of their courses at the University of St. Thomas which is under the direction of the Basilian Fathers. This process soon enabled the seminarians to take all their undergraduate courses at the main campus of the University of St. Thomas. To provide for the academic and physical development of these men, a new library and indoor gymnasium-auditorium were built. In 1966, Cardinal Joseph Beran of Prague, Czechoslovakia, presided at the formal dedication. The new library was named in his honor. During the academic year of 1968-1969, the theology department of St. Mary's Seminary became the Graduate School of Theology of the University of St. Thomas so that graduate degrees could be awarded to the theology seminarians. This arrangement continues today.
In 1982 the Vincentian Fathers withdrew from St. Mary's due to their personnel needs. Bishop John L. Morkovsky then appointed Monsignor Chester Borski as rector on May 20, 1982, and the administration and formation faculty became staffed by diocesan clergy. On March 26, 1986, the Dioceses of Galveston-Houston and Dallas reached an important agreement: St. Mary's and Holy Trinity Seminary in Dallas would unite so that St. Mary's would be the theologate and Holy Trinity would be the college seminary. Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza of Galveston-Houston and Bishop Thomas Tschoepe of Dallas signed this historic decision. The new arrangement was implemented beginning with the fall semester of 1986.
St. Mary's dedicated the Bishop Nold Education Building on November 7, 2001. The seminary serves as a location for diocesan meetings, workshops, and seminars which provide continuing theological education. St. Mary's Seminary continues its tradition of priestly formation. Rev. Brendan J. Cahill was appointed rector to succeed Msgr. Borski, effective June 1, 2001. Rev. Cahill served as rector with great enthusiasm and dedication for nine years. Due to an increase in seminarian enrollment, he began a master plan for the future growth of the Seminary. Cardinal DiNardo appointed him as Secretariat Director for Clergy Formation and Chaplaincy Services. Rev. Trung Nguyen was appointed rector to succeed Rev. Cahill, effective June 15, 2010. St. Mary's Seminary is grateful to all its benefactors who have been so generous, especially to the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women for their spiritual and financial support of the seminary through the Catholic Clerical Student Fund.

The sport and recreation industry in Western Australia comprises more than 200,000 volunteers and employees who enable more than 5,000 clubs to deliver programs at a community level. This local system is supported by a network of regional and state associations and peak bodies. There are demonstrated social, physical, mental and educational benefits and opportunities for those Western Australians participating in sport and recreation clubs. Despite the incredible community value, not for profit organisations such as sport and recreation organisations are increasingly required to deliver maximum outputs with a minimal and often declining resource base.
Equipping local clubs with the skills, tools and knowledge to create more effective and smarter businesses is a recurring theme across a number of challenges identified in the Sport and Recreation Industry Strategic Directions: 2011-2015.
This initiative will deliver a quantum productivity leap for up to 5,000 local clubs, more than 90 associations and more than 200,000 volunteer administrators in this state. This investment targets the development and roll-out of innovative or cost effective-information communication technology (ICT).
Project Overview
This multi-strategy statewide package will ensure every not for profit recreation and state sporting association and their clubs will have a basic level of ICT capacity and access to expertise. Combining the most powerful tools within one of the most expansive networks, this strategy will ensure more efficient operation of community organisations in the sport and recreation marketplace.
Specifically it will deliver:
- improved technology capacity to support business development and function;
- better use of technology to bridge the communication gap between state associations and their broad network of clubs;
- system-wide platforms, applications and software solutions and
- ICT training and upskilling by creating opportunities and networks to ensure state associations and clubs have access to relevant and ongoing ICT training opportunities and experts in the field.
Sporting and recreation organisations taking part in Year Three of the four year project have already been identified.
For more information, contact your state sporting association or recreation peak body to find out how they're involved.
State sporting associations and recreation peak bodies can find out more by contacting the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Egyptian Magic Cream: Putting Lord Pharaoh ImHotep AmonRa's pride and joy to the test
I love multi-use products. Even if I just use them for one thing, just knowing that there are more possibilities makes me happy. Like using kitty litter under your car tires if you get stuck in the snow. But Egyptian Magic is special, this is the sort of thing you'll want to use yourself, give it to your entire family, and put it on your puppy's winter-chapped paws.
First of all, I must tell you that this is not a "cream" at all, it is actually a salve, made from olive oil, beeswax, honey, royal jelly and bee propolis. I will mention here that they also list "divine love" on the ingredient list. Ugh. Anyway, moving on. When you use Egyptian Magic, you can swipe your fingers along the top of the (generously sized 4 oz) jar, warming the solid salve with your body temperature. I actually prefer to scrape a bit out of the tub with a cosmetic spatula to be more sanitary, rub it between my palms to melt it, then I apply wherever it is I feel like applying it. I've used it on extremely irritated, reactive facial skin and found it to be soothing and indeed healing. I've used it on rough heels and elbows, and it softened them nicely. It makes one of the best cuticle treatments I've ever found. I've used it to shine my hair (don't use on fine, thin hair) and as a lip balm. I have mixed loose mineral pigments into a bit of it to make creamy, bright shades to use on lips and face. It is wonderfully hydrating, fantastic for dry skin and suitable for people with eczema. It is also supposed to help heal post-surgical skin, bug bites, blemishes, diaper rash and scars, but I can't speak from experience on those things. I don't need a baby, but I could use a mini-brow lift and a kind benefactor. Right.
I find that Egyptian Magic is a great alternative for those times you want to reach for the Aquaphor but are kind of dreading the greasy aftermath of it (like before bed as you fear for your pillowcases). Another benefit for some will be that the ingredients here are all natural, contains natural antioxidants, and the jar does have an expiration date on it (in my case, it's October of 2014). Here is a night time moisturizing skin ritual I've grown to love involving Egyptian Magic:
-Cleanse with a gentle cleanser (I love Atopalm Moisturizing Facial Cleansing Foam)
-Use a hydrosol or thermal spring water spray (La Roche Posay has selenium which soothes skin)
-When skin is almost dry, use a gentle moisturizer like Atopalm MLE Cream, or retinol/retinaldyhyde product
-Apply a light layer of Egyptian Magic, gently pressing into the skin all over face and neck, which will effectively seal in moisture
I have a lot of skin sensitivities, rashes, breakouts and such, and a product like this is extremely useful to me. This takes dry or damaged skin, brings it into the supple arena and keeps it there. It's also gentle enough to use around the eye area. I should note that this would probably not be a good product for people who are very allergic to bees. It would be nice if they made little travel sized jars to throw in your purse, because it's a huge jar and not travel friendly. You can transfer some of the contents into an empty small jar, though.
Overall, I think this product is well worth a try if you have stubborn dryness, are prone to irritations, or just to have around for any number of the uses I have mentioned here. A 4 oz jar of Egyptian Magic is available for $36 at b-glowing.
[product was sent to me for review by b-glowing. I have no affiliation with Egyptian Magic or b-glowing, and am not being financially compensated. My opinions are solely my own.]
11 comments:
You have no idea how much I love a multi-tasking product. That's what is making me want this. I imagine myself hydrating cuticles/hands, setting eyebrows and flyaways, and using this on my feet. And of course, I can use it on my face when I need it. I didn't realize it was 4 oz. so that is a good deal. How would you compare this to Smith's Rosebud Salve?
I also have a sick Egyptian, dare I say, fetish. I was so obsessed with Egyptian mythology as a child. That's what got me into fragrance. I'd love to visit Egypt as an adult. I feel this unexplainable urge to migrate there. I also suffer from a terrible Cleopatra complex. I had the bangs for 5 years to prove it.What I'm getting at is that I'm about to buy this for the name.Jen, that was something I forgot to talk about here, it smells like a faint olive oil and beeswax smell. Nothing too strong, and it smells natural. I like it.
Victoria, I think you would really like this. I've not tried Rosebud Salve, so I can't compare, but I can say this: it's not shiny greasy, it's silky smooth and soft. No petrolatum or castor oil here. You can buy it for the name, or the guy's name who owns the company (cool or uncool? I can't decide), but just buy it. You'll find a thousand things you'll use it for.
Ines, You're in Croatia, right? I couldn't find anyplace online in your country that has it, but you could probably do a better search than me. However, b-glowing will ship anywhere in the world, if all else fails!Coming up soon, I'll be putting yet another multi-functional product to the test- Adara Coconut Oil. From what I understand, it's unfracionated, organic virgin coconut oil, and it comes in a variety of fragrances (green tea, jasmine, peach, lavender). It can be used anywhere on the face, body and hair. Lisa from b-glowing is *crazy* about this stuff, so I have to give it a try. It supposedly comes to you in an almost solid form and you have to run it under a hot tap to melt it.

Hi there; to Ines in Croatia and other non US-readers: I live in Norway, and I usually order the Egyptian Magic from iHerb.com. Worldwide shipping is $4.00 (for orders weighing up to 1360g/3 lbs or less)! Direct link:

Impacts of International and Internal Remittances on Household Welfare: Evidence from Viet Nam
This paper measures the impact of international and internal remittances on household welfare of remittances-receiving households using data from Viet Nam Household Living Standard Surveys 2002 and 2004. It is found that the receiving of international and internal remittances increased both income and consumption expenditures of the recipients. The impact of remittances on non-food expenditures tended to be higher than the impact on food expenditures. For international remittances, the impact on income was much higher than the impact on consumption expenditures. It means that a large proportion of international remittances were used for saving and investment. For the receipt of internal remittances, the impact on income was just slightly larger than the impact on consumption expenditures. In other words, most of the internal remittances were used for consumption expenditures.

Right now the Blackhawks are healthy and everyone in the NHL knows it or at least should be able to tell from their point total that they are firing on all cylinders. Last year Blackhawks lost for some part of the season on offense, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa to concussion issues and Steve Montador on defense. Losing Hossa probably cost the Hawks their season, getting knocked out in the first round of the playoffs against the Coyotes, more on that later, but some thanks should probably be given to the lockout for giving enough time for Marian Hossa and Jonathan Toews enough time to fully recover from concussions they suffered last year.
Now, the Hawks are still missing Montador, who is still recovering from concussion like symptoms and hasn't played a game since last March and failed concussion tests before the season in January.
Honestly, his career might be over. I hope it isn't but the Hawks have filled his spot with Brookbank and Rozsival so even if he does come back he may not have a spot on the team.
What's really scary with all three cases is how long it takes to truly recover from concussions. Hossa's concussion was from a single hit, from cough cough scum bag cough cough, Raffi Torres. If you haven't seen the hit you either aren't a hockey fan or you've been living under a rock for the past year. But here it is. It took Hossa over 7 months to recover from this one hit. Luckily, it seems like all effects are gone and he has been on a tear this year so far.
Jonathan Toews claims he is unsure which hit caused him a concussion last year and it could have been any number of hits he took, some might claim that he also was showing some symptoms from when he crashed his Mercedes into a Chicago train support beam.
And Steve Montador like stated before, still hasn't recovered.
Toews, like Marian Hossa did not play anywhere during the lockout because of concussion issues, but rather stayed in Chicago working out, Toews was also involved in the labor negotiations. But those two benefited probably more than anyone else (besides the owners) from the lockout, being able to take the necessary time off from the game and let their bodies reset.
Hossa's concussion is the obvious choice for further discussion because of how it happened and the large suspension handed down from Brendan Shanahan because of it.

The latest version of the NDK seems to be here: https://developer.blackberry.com/native/downloads/
You can also verify it with the MD5 checksum, since it is a large download.
Finally, you can check the Release Notes, there are some known issues/known limitations when installing on a Mac, including permission problems and environment settings. One solution is to try unsetting the environment variable 'PS1' before running the installer.
Update: Please check that you have enabled the ability to install applications not downloaded from the Mac App Store. From the BlackBerry Native SDK downloads page:
Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) has a new security option, under Settings > Security & Privacy > General that determines what kind of application can be installed on your system.
In order to install the NDK, change the option from the default "Mac App Store and identified developers" to "Anywhere".
Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) is listed as a supported platform in the System Requirements for the BB10 Native/Cascades SDK.
I would actually recommend downloading and installing the new Momentics 10.2 Beta IDE, and then using that to download the SDK packages you need for BB 10.0 and 10.1 Development. Note that the same "Install Apps from Anywhere" setting for OS X 10.8 mentioned above is also required to install. While still beta, it does a much nicer job of allowing you to develop for multiple SDK versions, and has a new cleaner interface. Since you can install whichever SDK versions you choose from the new IDE, you are not required or limited to installing the 10.2 beta SDK and I've been using it for 10.0 and 10.1 development for about a month now.

Salomon Snowboards Idol Snowboard Women'sWhether you're slaying Alaskan steeps or popping pillows in BC's interior, the Salomon Women's Idol Snowboard is a hard charging board capable of taking tricks into deep powder. The Idol blurs the line between a focused freeride deck and hard charging freestyle weapon. In fact, you'll find its mid stiff flex conquers the entire mountain, but really excels on steep faces and high speed runs. This directional twin board is slightly set back for straight line stability and added float, yet it still rides switch phenomenally well when you're floating backside 180s into deep powder. Its Cross Profile is predominately camber, with camber running between the binding inserts for aggressive edge hold and powerful energy transfer. Rocker outside the bindings, extending to the tip and tail, adds effortless float when you're blasting down powder filled bowls and darting through deep tree runs. Using Salomon's sustainable construction techniques, the Idol features ABC Green Roll, which stands for Advanced Bamboo Construction. This construction technique uses basalt stringers for burly strength with ultra snappy bamboo strips and impact dampening Cork sidewalls. The Ghost Green core is ultra light and snappy, thanks to its premium wood strips carefully blended with lightweight sustainable wood. Its quadratic sidecut facilitates fluid edge to edge transitions when you're blasting turns down the mountain. And because the Idol was made to ride at blistering speeds, it's equipped with a Sintered EG base that absorbs a ton of wax for a super fast glide.

(PRWEB) August 18, 2013
According to the market research report "Near Field Communication (NFC) Market – Global Forecast & Analysis (2011 – 2016) forecast by Products (NFC Chip, Micro SD Card, Integrated SIM, Reader & Middleware), Applications (Mobile Payment, Ticketing, Booking, Data Sharing, Access Control, Non-Payment, Infotainment, Advertisement)" the total Near Field Communication applications market is expected to reach $10015.96 million by 2016 at a CAGR of 38% from 2011 to 2016.
Early buyers will receive 10% customization on this report.
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smart phones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually not more than a few centimeters. Present and anticipated applications include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip, called as "tag".
NFC and Bluetooth are both short-range communication technologies which are integrated into mobile phones. As described in technical detail below, NFC operates at slower speeds than Bluetooth, but consumes far less power and doesn't require pairing.
NFC traces its roots back to Radio-frequency identification, or RFID. RFID allows a reader to send radio waves to a passive electronic tag for identification and tracking. NFC technology equips user with an ability to make a cashless payment using his/her mobile phone. In 2011, mobile payment is the major factor driving the NFC market and it will continue to do so for next five years.
The NFC mobile payment market is expected to cannibalize the smart card payment market. Currently, security and lack of standardization are the two major issues related to this market. NFC technology is not completely secure and hence customers have many reservations to make payment via NFC device.
NFC market includes products such as NFC chips, tags, readers, NFC based micro SD cards, and NFC enabled SIM/UICC cards. NFC products market is highly fragmented market and each segment reflects different trends. For example, NFC chip market currently is almost monopolistic market with NXP Semiconductors holding more than 80% of the market share, whereas NFC tags market is highly scattered market with number of players and flat competition.
Both, NFC based SIM/UICC cards and micro SD cards are not expected to reach their full potential as they will slide in to obsolescence due integrated NFC mobile devices.
Mobile payment application is undoubtedly the most attractive application of NFC technology. It includes both, in-store payment and on-line payment. Near Field Communication Market is expected to cannibalize the smart cards market for cashless payments.
Other major applications of NFC technology are access control, ticketing, data sharing, and advertising.

The biggest hit? That would've been Jarrod Saltalamacchia's three-run home run, which helped turn a one-run game in the fifth inning into a giggler.
The most cathartic hits? Without question, they belonged to Adrian Gonzalez.
It wasn't so much that the Red Sox first baseman had begun stressing over the 0-for-14 drought he lugged into Kauffman Stadium last night. On the contrary, Gonzalez spoke calmly and even analytically before batting practice about his swing, typically as gorgeous as a supermodel but out of whack for nearly a month.
But when the early MVP frontrunner goes four games without a hit — and 82 plate appearances without a home run — everyone around him starts to wonder if something is wrong.
So, for Gonzalez to record three hits, including a pair of doubles, and a sacrifice fly in the Red Sox' 7-1 rout of the Royals, it allowed for some perspective.

Chelsea Kane Covers Rebecca Black on YouTube (Video)
Chelsea Kane, the talented young cutie on DWTS 2011 has covered Rebecca Black's "Friday."
Chelsea Kane might be a contestant on Dancing With The Stars but in her free time; she is a YouTube sensation. Kane recently posted a cover of "Friday" by Rebecca Black. In the video, Chelsea Kane is joined by her DWTS partner Mark Ballas as well as Romeo and his partner Chelsie Hightower (ex-American Idol contestant Pia Toscano shows her face at the end). It's good to see that amidst the stress of the competition, Kane and the gang can still find time to have fun.
Personally, I think the Chelsea Kane ft. Mark Ballas, Pia Toscano, Romeo and Chelsie Hightower cover of "Friday" is better than Rebecca Black's original. As we gear up for tonight's Dancing With The Stars Week 6 performances, enjoy this "Friday" remix:
Remember to tune in tonight at 8|7c on ABC to watch Dancing With The Stars and vote for Chelsea Kane!

No Man is an Island
Two points previously made:
1) Yes, we all benefit from infrastructure, but only Steve Jobs made the iPhone
2) Cuba and North Korea have infrastructure too: School teachers, roads and bridges, so there must be something else that drives an economy.
An Un-serious President
The President was engaging in campaign rhetoric, tossing some "red" meat to the proles and stoking their resentments. Look at his face and listen to the crowd reaction and you'll see what I mean. It's clear he is in the throes of theatrical populist hyperbole.
But how can we take someone like him seriously? How many anti-infrastructure rallies has the tea parties hosted? He's attacking strawmen. Everybody this side of the most fervent Randoid knows that No Man is an Island. Government worked fine when it was consuming 18% of GDP--it now consumes closer to 24%. How much is enough?
If government would limit itself to just funding that infrastructure liberals are constantly whining about, we would not be having these arguments, and we would not be mired in this economic morass.
And if he wants to yap on about who pays what in this country, let's have that conversation.
Business owners and working people benefit not at all from the cawing aviary of special interest rent-seekers now roosting in thousands of government agencies and gobbling billions of dollars in taxpayer contributions. Also, those rich factory owners, along with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and even famous tax dodger Warren Buffet, paid far more for those roads than did the other 99% of America.
Push Back on the Give Back
And let's expose the "Give something back" argument for the leftist guilt trip that it is. "Give back" presupposes that someone took something. That is why it is an absurd statement. So until demagogues like Obama can give us details on just what exactly "the rich" took from us, (and which ones? Name names!), I'll continue to ignore them.
Speaking of the Absurd notion of "Taking..." and "Giving Back..."
What have all those recipients of government-subsidized student loans and government grants given back?
How are welfare recipients, government housing residents and food stamp users giving back?
At the next DC-NY taxpayer-funded orgy, Obama should ask GE CEO Jeffrey HeMelts when GE will "give back" all the damned tax money they have scammed us out of. When will Obama-owned GM give back the $50 billion he took from us and gave them in a fit of crony crapitalism that would make FDR blush? When will Solyndra and all of Obama's other failed venture socialist projects "give something back?"
And didn't effete millionaire jet setters Michelle and Barack Obama use government-subsidized student loans and grants to attend Ivy League schools? And don't those schools receive millions each year in government funds? Have the Obama's given it back?
If liberals really want to go down this road of "give something back," we conservatives and libertarians should take them all the way.

The entrepreneur is necessary for Kapital to avoid a state of inertia. Fine, we've read, Schumpeter and if anyone is arguing that the iPhone should be quashed, I haven't heard it.
However, you're going to have to move in freaking mysterious ways to delineate Gates' innovations.
However, they need a society to function in and making the big jump to railing on progressive taxation you're going to have to tell me what the Walton sisters produce. They own a significant percentage of America's wealth and have never produced anything. They probably pay a lower tax rate than you do.
So enjoy the wealth transfer or wise up, your choice. - 7/25/12, 6:02 AM

@ Ducky: you're going to have to tell me what the Walton sisters produce
They maintain warehouses all over the country so I don't have to stockpile aspirin and shotgun shells.
It's called providing a service. They have to cater to the customer to gain their wealth. Give us what we want at a reasonable price, or we'll go somewhere else.
I know that concept is hard for a Marxist to understand, so I'm being gentle. - 7/25/12, 6:14 AM

No. Only the people that Steve Jobs hired [he knew squat about semi-conductors and engineering] made the iPhone. He didn't "make it" himself.

The government may "own" the country's infrastructure, but they sure as sh*t didn't BUILD it. They're are ducky's equivalent to the Walton sisters... and he wants them to run EVERYTHING. Go figure.

US Army Corps of Engineers
"...38,000 civilian and military personnel, making it the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agency. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works throughout the world. The Corps of Engineers provides outdoor recreation opportunities to the public, and provides 24% of U.S. hydropower capacity." - 7/25/12, 6:40 AM

I love it how when progressives are pressed to mention something productive the government has done, they have to point to the military.
- Silverfiddle said...
And the point of the Steve Jobs comment, Shaw, is that we all benefit from infrastructure, but only a brilliant few have breakout ideas, and only the hardworking risk-takers start businesses and become successful, so infrastructure is just that, a good foundation.
- Joe Conservative said...
"...38,000 civilian and military personnel, making it the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agency.

Shaw embraces the Marxist principle of vertical collectivism. Who saw that coming? Like most Marxists, she's delusional, or ignorant. Men who owned the capital to start the most successful company in US history hired people who knew squat about semi-conductors. They paid their employees a good wage and very likely, additional forms of compensation, such as medical and dental programs, stock options, and paid holidays —demonstrating that the owners appreciated and valued their employees. We must additionally credit Apple for hiring the right people and for communicating to them Apple's vision in an emerging industry. The founders of Apple took all the risks. Had Apple failed, we would properly attribute this failure to Steve Jobs, Steve Wosniak, and Ron Wayne —not the engineers in their employ. - 7/25/12, 7:03 AM

What a shock!
Well, he promised he will change this country. Thats and he did and what he is doing it. The real fools here. are the idiots who voted for him. But unfortunately we got him as well.
This has a miserable record of failures now, and all the public can remember him for is his vacations, his hip hop parties, his and his wife the Moocher's overspending, race baiting, lying, and taxing. We knew he lied through his teeth to get elected in 2008. I hated this fraud, this creep, this corrupt clown and the people he pals around with, and surrounds himself with. from day one..
But the brain-dead libs and the Progressive dingbats will vote for him no matter what. There is nothing he can do to discourage their vote. Nothing except maybe take away their free-bees. .
And by the way, Boehner is a real disappointment. He needs to go also.
And we need to support Michele Bachmann and all the others who are willing to put themselves on the line to save this nation. - 7/25/12, 7:25 AM

So, let's spend like Clinton, 18% of GDP, and tax like Bush, revenues were 18% of GDP. Would that make the Duck happy?

Rich & I have argued a number of times over the taxes that drive public education. He believes that it is equitable that we all pay a share because it's for the good of society at large. I contend that we should all pay some, but those who are actively using the system should pay a proportionately higher rate.
That is, the retired couple next door should not have to pay as much (the county school district claims about 54% of the property taxes here) as I do, since I have a school age child. Accordingly, the family down the block who has 4 school age children should pay a much higher amount since they are actively using thay much more of the resources.
My primary motivation here is to get apathetic parents engaged. If it's gonna seriously cut into your Coors Light money, then perhaps you'll put a bit more thought into whether you should pop out another kiddo. And if you opt to do so, then maybe ponying up more bucks will encourage you to be a more active participant in your child's education - schools aren't babysitters and no teacher bears the -primary- responsibility for your child's education.
But the "give back" factors in heavily here too. Where's the incentive for me to pay so much in taxes towards a civic infrastructure that, for more than 25 years of my working life, I neither used nor had any influence over? More than half of my taxes support public schools, yet I'm all but powerless to effect changes like more nutritive food being offered in the cafeteria and less needless, baseless tech being crammed into the classroom.
And when these non-contributing zeros graduate from high school, where's the social good? Where's the "give back?" Where's the return on my investment? The system glosses over key skills that would make these people truly valuable members of our society in favor of learning how to prep for & take tests. For example, in my day, we had a "speech" class that helped you build interpersonal skills so you could talk to people and land a job. Now schools emphasize tech that hobbles kids' ability to communicate face-to-face.
Yet other than writing letters to my school district representative - which I have done - I have little choice but to sit back and watch my tax dollars being perpetually squandered on initiatives that do not encourage "give back." - 7/25/12, 7:56 AM
- Shaw Kenawe said...
If Apple had failed, Xerox, who developed the GUI and all kinds of other technology that was used by Apple, and many, many other companies that were doing the same thing, would have easily replaced Apple.
And Apple did fail while Jobs was in charge, and he was fired as a result.
Jobs didn't know details about processors or the technology--he needed people around him who were real technical people to create the software, he bought the hardware.
There's no doubt that what he did was wildly successful. But that success depended on lots of people around him who could deliver what he demanded of them.
I know a bit about this, since my husband actually interfaced with Jobs when he was a start-up in Cupertino, CA, and begging for allocation of memory.
Also, Huntington, your ignorant name-calling destroys any value you think you bring to the conversation.
You know nothing about me, and your stupid labeling shows it. - 7/25/12, 8:03 AM
- Silverfiddle said...
Shaw: No one is arguing that Steve Jobs single-handedly built the iPhone!
My point, again (I don't know how many times I have to explain things to you), is that he is a singular individual. We all enjoy public infrastructure, but only a hardy few use it as a springboard to success.
Of course it takes a collection of diverse talents to make this all happen, but your rush to credit collectivism is over the top.
Consider this:
@ Sam: Had Apple failed, we would properly attribute this failure to Steve Jobs, Steve Wosniak, and Ron Wayne —not the engineers in their employ.
Take it further. Had Apple failed, it would have all been on the owners, not on the larger collective society. - 7/25/12, 8:23 AM
- Z said...
Sam is brilliant, Shaw, you'd do well to ignore whatever "stupid labeling" he uses and listen.
I don't believe the point here in SF's post is that people don't need other people for help in private businesses. JOBS HIRED HIS PEOPLE, HIS MONEY paid for them....NOT THE GOV'T.
And, by the way, who the heck pays for the government and all those bridges and roads and other infrastructure? OUR TAXES.

SF I love it when progressives are right there to defend anything and everything that Obama says and does. And Shaw here is a prime example.
We cannot have a more progressive president than Barack Obama and that is wht his policies have been such a failure. It should be embarrassing to these libbies but no, instead people like Shaw here are always tright there to make excuses or pass the blame..
But didn't someone predict that from day one? Oh yes, it was Rush Limbaugh, the one the Progressives call all those names
This amateur Obama know nothing about the American Dream, All he cares about is getting reelected. What if anything has this man done beside increasing the National Debt. What does he know about Foreign Policy, besides helping the Muslim Brotherhood? He is certainly not trustworthy, or honest, he is not a person who values our country. He and his gang are running our country like a gang of Chicago political thugs and destroying America.
Me, I'll be voting for President Romney because he's our only hope in taking America back from the lazy, self absorbed, libbies who don't love America and only what to take and give nothing. This is what happens if you give freedom to idiots - 7/25/12, 9:07 AM
- Steve said...
Sam is a condescending ass, who like you is to stupid to know mass murders happened before 40 years ago, but was willing to listen to some idiot talk show host for your "facts". Not a secret with dumb shit Republicans who only listen to FOX noise.
Sure glad I could enlighten you on the truth you ignorant, insulting traitor to America. - 7/25/12, 9:12 AM

That's why the most important thing is to dump their Leader in November, that is if you hate their ideology and everything it stands for as I do. - 7/25/12, 9:32 AM

Seems like the great one spends a lot of time trying to pull back his true feelings when he "is miss quoted".
The one thing the government, local or federal, do for my business is increase non productive costs.
When Shaw mentioned the corps of engineers as a good example of government productivity, she probably has not dealt with them. They are just another bloated government agency employing a massive amount of incompetent people who enforce antiquated standards. - 7/25/12, 10:44 AM

Not exactly, soldier boy.
The volunteer military that fought WW II is a bit different than the indoctrinated force in Afghanistan.
What does amuse me is that the folks most vocal about the government's inability to accomplish anything are often military and brook little criticism of that boondoggle. - 7/25/12, 11:30 AM
- Joe Conservative said...
The volunteer military of WWII? They invented the draft just for Vietnam??? Who knew?
- Joe Conservative said...
After the United States entered World War II, a new selective service act made men between 18 and 45 liable for military service and required all men between 18 and 65 to register. The terminal point of service was extended to two years after the war. From 1940 until 1947—when the wartime selective service act expired after extensions by Congress—over 10,000,000 men were inducted.
Liberals sure love forced labour. America hasn't had THAT many "volunteers for America" since Lincoln freed the slaves. - 7/25/12, 11:53 AM

Also, little Stevie, you need to learn the difference between a mistake and a lie. And screaming vulgarities at someone is not correcting them. Doing what Finntann did, providing statistics is.

Keep piling up the lies you Westboro Baptist Church member. - 7/25/12, 12:19 PM
- Silverfiddle said...
See Steve, you are proving your irrationality.
I did not say there were no mass murders 40 years ago; I wondered aloud, like the talk show host you ignorantly pegged as a rightwinger, why we are seeing more now.
I had a perception bias, and Finntann's facts made me face it and admit that I was wrong.
You stamped your little feet and called me a lying liar.
Finntann provided links to facts, along with written words that made sense.
See the difference? - 7/25/12, 12:29 PM

You are an unhinged, swivel-eyed raving loonie.
I checked both my blog and Shaw's for Sunday, and nowhere did you provide a link. Here's one of your typical fleck-spittle comments:
Google it!
SF was just over at Shaw's blog calling me a liar for what I said here.
I wish you people would educate yourselves and stop calling people who disagree with you liars, especially if you HAVEN"T GOT A CLUE WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
SF lied about there being no coverage of these incidents in the past, so did SAM, and it is EASY to check it out
GOOGLE IT, you can see the videos, the newspapers, and the History of what happened.
Yes, HISTORY, try reading it
Here is a sample of what Finntann said:
@"Murder rates are worse now that 40 years ago, and we are now seeing more random killings."
Per 100,000
In 2010 the US Murder Rate 4.8
Forty years ago in 1972 it was 9.0
There were 14,748 murders in 2010 in a population of 308 million.
In 1972 there were 18,670 murders in a population of 208 million.
So much for that theory.
Notice how he quoted the incorrct statement he was refuting, then he provided statistics, and finally links so everyone could go examine the data themselves.
Maybe you need to wipe the saliva from your computer screen? - 7/25/12, 1:17 PM
- Steve said...
When are you going to give back the money you get from the government? Oh that's different, anyone else getting government money is a lazy so and so, but not you.

You do have anger issues but they can't be solved on a blog. I can't speak for anyone else but the government money seems to flow one way and that is from me to the government. I would like to see some some return on my investment but I doubt that will happen. The current leader only wants to give free stuff and raise taxes on the "rich" and the middle class.
I am just waiting for those who take from me to do what your supreme leader asked them to do, give something back. - 7/25/12, 1:48 PM

Silver, you are not engaging an argument with the Left. Most all would agree with most of what you posted. The disconnect here is that you are arguing in a sort of "all one or the other" sort of way. And life, as the American Left in general sees it, is more complicated than that. We REALLY don't think the way you think we do.
No one's saying we should rape the rich of their every last penny. We're just saying, "Hey, you might have to raises taxes a little on some transactions once in while." It's just a matter of a few degrees of difference. Or do YOU think there should simply be no taxes at all? Of course not. You'd have to be an idiot.
But deeper than all that, when you talk about "infrastructure," I get the feeling that you're just talking about roads and projects and such. Well, that iPhone you mentioned? Do you have any idea how much technological infrastructure and security is involved with that?
Really man. It's great to see you accepting the plain and stark and obvious fucking reality that no one is an island, but again, no serious person is arguing the complete opposite - that we, and our endeavors, are purely and only products of infrastructural assistance. Not even Obama, though you seem to content to believe and repeat that stupid, sleazy lie.

Steve Jobs would not have build the iPhone if the government hadn't spent billions in the space program to develop and miniaturize computers.
- Jersey McJones said...
Exactly, Liberalmann. I mentioned that earlier, in what I thought and hoped was an understandable way. Apparently it went over the conservatives' heads.
The iPhone? That's an example? Silver, do you have a clue how much taxpayer money went into the technical and secure sectors that allows for such a thing?
You cons, with this argument that each man is his own master and nothing else, have only got it half right.
- Silverfiddle said...
@ Liberalmann: Steve Jobs would not have build the iPhone if the government hadn't spent billions in the space program to develop and miniaturize computers.
I'll agree with that too. We all stand on the shoulders of giants and work off of what those before us have developed.
Jersey and Liberalmann are being reasonable, unlike the demagogue in chief.
Neither of you are stupid enough to shout "He didn't build that!" - 7/25/12, 5:24 PM

@However, you're going to have to move in freaking mysterious ways to delineate Gates' innovations.
It's really not that mysterious.
Gates developed the algorithm for pancake sorting that was the fastest for over 30 years.
Bill Gates and Paul Allen developed the BASIC interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800 platform, the foundation of what was later to become Microsoft Basic.
Approached by IBM to develop the BASIC interpreter for their upcoming IBM PC, when talks for a license agreement between IBM and Digital Research for the operating system for the IBM PC broke down IBM turned to Gates.
Microsoft purchased QDOS from Seatle Computer Products and adapted it to run on the IBM platform. This adapted product became MS-DOS.
Everything after that was simply more effective corporate management.
No mystery there.

@No. Only the people that Steve Jobs hired [he knew squat about semi-conductors and engineering] made the iPhone.
Then why didn't they make it? - 7/25/12, 6:36 PM
- Z said...
And herein lies the whole crux of this: "Then why didn't they make it?"
Man, Finntann, you certainly now how to bring a subject down to the basic point. THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY?
Because the streets and bridges and the rest of the infrastructure OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS PAID FOR didn't have the BRAINS or the COURAGE or the TALENT or the DESIRE. - 7/25/12, 6:44 PM
- Rob said...
Whoa. Looking back on that comment I left early this morning, I really went off on an unrelated tangent, didn't I? In my early morning stupor, I guess I just keyed in on the "Giving back" part and jumped off from there. Wow.
Woz was the hardware genius, sure, but Steve Jobs was actually a fair bit more technical than you folks give him credit for. He would've never made it to India had Atari not sent him to Germany to troubleshoot the power supplies on their game consoles.
Jobs -DID- build the iPhone every bit as much as, for example, George Lucas created Star Wars. Both are mashups of a dozen or more products and ideas that already existed, but those guys had the vision and ego-maniacal drive to re-use those disparate building blocks in unprecedented ways. - 7/25/12, 6:50 PM

And if you had listened to the unedited speech you have seen that was the point Obama was making. It's the same point that Romney recently gave in Virgina.

This whole comment was excellent, but you stopped before we got to the interesting bit: why did the IBM platform achieve dominance?
The answer is that the hardware was vastly cheaper and better than any competitors', and this happened because there was a competitive market in IBM-compatible components, unlike other platforms.
So the key to MS dominance and success is the reverse engineering of IBM's original BIOS. This effort had nothing to do with Gates, but without it he would have been nothing more than the president of an moderately successful software house in the 80s, like so many others (which is a pretty admirable level of achievement in itself, of course). The idea that the scale of his success is not contingent on any luck or outside influence is ludicrous. Actually I don't think anybody of you is saying that, except by accident.
He build on his luck of course, but at least some of that consolidation work was rather questionable. We all have our flaws. I'm inclined to like him since he is obviously doing his best not to be a tit with the fabulous wealth he has acquired. That's strength of character! - 7/26/12, 3:16 AM

"Miniaturization would have taken place with or without government investment, it simply would have taken longer without.
Moore's Law after all."
Slower hardware development would have meant better software optimisation for earlier generations of hardware, which would have resulted in a vastly different computing landscape. Most likely we'd all use terminals and rent time on a mainframe. We laugh at Thomas Watson for predicting back in the '40s that there would be a world market for only 5 computers, but he was reckoning without the truly madcap pace of semiconductor development. It was a perfectly reasonable prediction, really. - 7/26/12, 3:22 AM

Bill gates is living proof that in the real world Might Makes Right. gates has never been much of a creator, but he's a positive genius at games of MANIPULATION and DOMINATION.
In short Bill Gates is a World Champion Bully.
That's what virtually ALL people deemed "successful" really are at root.
True creative geniuses have always been EXPLOITED by the bully boys.
Rarely has genius ever received rewards commensurate with the value of its output -- UNLESS you consider virtue and producing work of great intrinsic value to be their own reward.

What does this say about _YOU_?
Mr Obama said, "Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that." Mr Obama was clearly talking about the 'roads and bridges'.
The saddest part of all this is Murdoch Media/Fox Networks know Mr Obama was talking about 'roads and bridges'. Murdoch Media/Fox Networks do not care that they are lying to _you_! Murdoch Media/Fox Networks know you (and thousands of other suckers) will soil yourself over the lie without thinking. An amazing thing is that you willingly and ignorantly believe the bull sh!t from Murdoch Media/Fox Networks that's handed to gullible, low-information folks like you, and then parade your ignorance as though it's something to be proud of. It is a lie you want to be true so you knowingly choose to side with the liar.
Integrity; you either have it or you don't!
You have in front of you, a direct quote of what the man said. A second entity tells you the man said something HE DID NOT SAY, a lie. You knowingly choose to side with the liar for the sake of political expediency.
What does this say about _YOU_, that you are willing to allow such illegitimate deceitfulness? Why would any honest people ever want to join 'your side, if you are willing to align yourself with flat-out blatant liars?'

Jez, I wasn't trying to explain Microsoft's dominance in the market, simpy to respond to Ducky's "to delineate Gates' innovations."
"If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own."
"I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there."
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. "
"Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive"
"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Yeah, rolls eyes... sure, he's talking about roads, when every previous sentence he uttered denigrates individual achievement. Try putting context in your context.
If you give 100 people 100 dollars, and 99 of them spend it, and one turns it into 1000 dollars.
So, why haven't you turned your gift of roads and bridges into a multi-million dollar business?
Cheers! - 7/26/12, 4:41 PM

The apartment is really really nice, just exactly how it's shown on the pictures. We were really happy to stay there...very clean, very spacious and totally not far from the center (old town). I'd definitely recommend staying there. :)
Everything was clean, organized, and functional. I enjoyed my stay at the apartment and it was for a great price too. Also, the bathroom floor was heated! Thumbs up!
Very nice accommodation! Rooms are very clean and are nicely decorated. It is different than on the pictures though. Personnel is very helpful and friendly! definitely recommend staying here!City center is on walking distance (10-15 minutes) and supermarket, restaurants and public transport directly in neighborhood
(Late review, sorry!) Very lovely apartment, close by to all public transport needed. We would definitely recommend :) The area wasn't too busy, and is very near a little Tesco should you need to pick up any supplies. Thank you, Joe and Jess :)
There was some problem with the apartment and we were taken to a hotel 10 minutes further from the center instead... There, the bed was very unconfortable and small, the room old, tv not working, a heater not working, and way far on quality and standars compared with what we were supposed to have in the appartment, according to the price paid and the pictures.
overall, this accommodation experience would have deserved a 2/10, as I spent my time looking for something very specific that didn't finally get, but I have rated 7 because Natalia, in charge of the apartments, was super nice and sweet and did all she could to compensate us.
It was a very nice appartment. Everything you could need was present.
Friendly people at the reception.
Just a little out of the center but not too far
The apartment is comfortable, not far from the historic center (two stops by metro), clean well taken care of. Legerova street is a bit chaotic, but with the double windows the room is well insulated. Also recommended for families. Fabio
What an amazing deal for the apartment we had. Nicely furnished, cute decor, and spacious. We forgot what apartment we were getting when we rented at first, but the pictures didn't do it justice. My boyfriend and I stayed there for a very, very reasonable price and it was the perfect place to spend our two days.
The apartment was about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center and about a 10-15 minute walk to the train station. Good location, great price, and good customer service!

Nearly all of the large banking institutions have a wholesale lending division. Wholesale lenders work directly with mortgage brokers. The broker originates and underwrites the loans. Then the loans are packaged into blocks and sold to the wholesale lender.
Quite often, many of these brokers specialize in subprime or alt A lending. Subprime lending, which is being touted as the cause of the mortgage crisis, is when loans are given to those with poor credit. Alt A lending is when loans are made to those with less than good credit, but better than poor credit.
The wholesale lenders that buy these loans are completely dependant on the brokers to verify and qualify borrowers for the loans. With some brokers this verification and qualification process is thorough and with other brokers… well, the process is not as thorough.
However, when lending to the subprime and alt A markets, it is vital to make sure that borrowers have the ability to repay. When brokers aren't absolutely sure, situations like those with Indy Mac are bound to occur.
Wholesale mortgage lending in the subprime and alt A markets has attributed to most of the financial troubles that banks are currently experiencing. For this reason, banks have begun straying away from the wholesale lending business. They have begun to refocus their mortgage loan strategy towards direct retail lending. This way, there is no need to depend on brokers to verify and qualify borrowers.
WaMu is no exception. They too are dumping their wholesale lending business.
In 1999, Washington Mutual purchased one of the largest subprime mortgage lenders, Long Beach Mortgage Company which operated out of Anaheim, CA. After the acquisition, Long Beach continued in its objective of originating loans with those with unfavorable financial circumstances. And they remained a leader at it. In 2005, its nearly 1,000 employees managed to originate over $30 billion in mortgage loans. At that time, WaMu was steadfast about expanding Long Beach Mortgage Company.
However, today, as a part of its refocusing efforts, WaMu put the brakes on Long Beach Mortgage Company as well as all of its other wholesale lending subsidiaries. As of April 10th, the wholesale sales centers stopped accepting applications. As of May 31st, the doors of the wholesale sales centers were locked forever. And on June 30th, the wholesale loan fulfillments centers were closed as well.
And this, folks, sums up WaMu's exodus from the wholesale lending business.
For over 100 years, WaMu had been a première lender in the direct retail home loan business. But I am sure the decision to move into the wholesale subprime market is one the big wigs have come to regret. Over the past year, WaMu's market value has plummeted. Its shares are trading at 30% less than the company's book value. Obviously WaMu execs did not forecast it at the time, but WaMu's eventual ill-fated downturn would be wholly attributed to their little snafu… the decision to enter wholesale subprime lending.
However things are looking promising for WaMu. They are positioning themselves for a bounce back. First… they decided to cut their losses with this wholesale lending thing. Second… they secured a $7 billion dollar bailout from TPG. Third… Kerry Killinger resigned from his post as chairman of the board, though he still remains as CEO. However, some say he is the reason WaMu is in this mess and that he should be relieved of his CEO responsibilities. Maybe so, but since he is no longer chairman of the board, he is also no longer the be all, end all. Now, the opportunity exists to bring in a new chairman that can help Killinger move WaMu in a positive direction. I'm optimistic that WaMu will survive.

The Michigan Conference of the United Missionary Church (known in 2006 as the Missionary Church) was organized in 1896 as a mission conference under the Ontario Conference, later becoming an independent conference. The earliest congregations in the district had been formed as the result of the work of a young Canadian convert, Peter Cober, and Daniel Brenneman. Other early workers were Samuel Shirk, D. U. Lambert, and J. Schlichter. The first presiding elder was E. O. Anthony. In 1954 the conference had 43 congregations and mission stations, with a total membership of 2,049, of which 16 congregations with 964 members were in the South District, 24 congregations with 1,038 members were in the North District, and 3 unorganized churches had 47 members; most of the churches are small, the following 5 having more than 100 members each: Detroit (Dakota Ave.) 243, Port Huron 177, Brown City 126, Yale Trinity 123, Pontiac 106.

Came across two Gary Snyder books this weekend at Random Row which I didn't have before. Can't have enough of his writing.
Regarding wave is a collection of poems some for his wife Masa and their son Kai.
Earth House Hold, a play on the root meanings of "ecology," is a collection of essays and journal writings.

I have a buddy who studies Gary Snyder's work and he has some sort of a plan to drive to CA and visit him. That would be rad. Gary Snyder's amazing.

If you have time tonight on the way home from a Xmas party or dinner - go see the lights. I meant to send you streets that are especially decked out for the holidays here in Dallas. Start at Preston and Armstrong and you cannot go wrong. Beverly and Lakeside are always pretty. If not this year - see them next year. Have fun in TN! Keeley

What does this mean when the car has been Certified and E-Tested?
Any warranty that comes from it if I buy privately?
What does this mean when the car has been Certified and E-Tested?
Any warranty that comes from it if I buy privately?
Certified means its the minimum for safety requirements ( brakes, tires, windshild, lights ) it does NOT mean the car is mechanically solid
E-tested = Emissions ( im assuming in this case passed the standards )
Read -> Comprehend -> Post
DIY Prelude Guides | Jeremy Clarkson - Top Gear: Atom | Dont Click me | Internet Forums
Certified is the "safety certification" meaning the car is deemed safe to drive on the road.
E-tested is when the car has been e-tested and passed emissions testing.
If you buy as-is, they don't cert+etest which means you just have to do those things yourself.
also safety certificates are only valid approx 30 days from the day they are issued, etest is one full year. If you want to see if the etest is valid for a used vehicle go here:
be careful and have it checked by your mechanic.....Both can be done without the car even being there for them to Safety or E-test for some extra cash.
Some people don't like this cuz it's a potential waste of their time. nothing may be wrong with the car at all, but for them to make the time to entertain your mech coming to their house is a hassle. Also in the eyes of the seller, they don't know if your mech is simply saying overly critical things in order to devalue the car in your favour.
of course, complete opposite is possible too. IE they've got something to hide.
97 "SH" - Gone
perhaps - but as a seller i dont think i'd have a problem with an inspection after a deposit is done. a sale with condition of no major issue is fine.
i've sold a couple of cars this way.
there's also the people who want you to go to their mechanic without even setting a price or coming to see the car -- those guys dont even get a reply to an email sometimes.
