"My son instantly liked this label out the others I gathered for him to select from. The color is very pleasing to the eye and the cap icon along with the selected fonts of print have a marked maturity for a 17 year old young man to help announce his high school graduation."
"I ordered these address labels to go with the "Bubbling Up" card. It was perfect!! They looked great!! It added a special touch to my Valentine's cards."
"These address return labels are so cute and well made. This was my first time ordering with Timy Prints, and so I was offered free shipping. I forgot to enter the code in at checkout for the free shipping and so I emailed Tiny Prints and told them what happened. Someone quickly responded to me and they credited the shipping fee back to my card! I will definitely be ordering more products!"
"I ordered these to use on my Christmas cards What a great idea. Using these "We've Moved" labels let my cards stay Christmasy. While I like this design, I wish they would have had a few more choices--especially one more holiday themed."
"This address label is great because I wanted to call attention to our new address without sending out another postcard or print 'business cards'. I plan to include the label on my son's birthday party invites. I like the simple design with bold highlight on "we've moved!""

Beck shamelessly quotes MLK to attack "entitlement" programs
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
In the lead-up to Glenn Beck's 8-28 rally in Washington D.C., Beck repeatedly tried to co-opt the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. Beck's motivation was clear: by cloaking himself and his band of small government rabble-rousers with King's legacy, he hoped to inflate the historical significance of their gathering while hiding behind the shield of the civil rights movement's moral authority.
As I documented at the time, Beck's co-opting of King was a complete farce:
King forcefully advocated for drastic action by the federal government to combat poverty; supported "social justice"; called for an "economic bill of rights" that would "guarantee a job to all people who want to work"; and stated that we must address whether we need to "restructure the whole of American society" -- all ideas that Beck has vilified.
After his rally, Beck was pressed by Fox News' Chris Wallace about how the "civil rights movement was always about an economic agenda." Beck responded by saying that "that's a part of it that I don't agree with." This represented a major backtrack for Beck, who had accused progressives of "perverting" King's legacy by tying it to economic issues. Apparently Beck hasn't learned his lesson.
In his new book, Broke, in a section about how "entitlements like Social Security and Medicare are murdering our finances," Beck has the audacity to quote Martin Luther King Jr. to make his point. He writes:
As Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, "No lie can live forever" -- well, these programs are based on the biggest lie of all: that money can be shuffled from person to person, from states to Washington and from trust fund to trust fund without consequence. It's time for that way of thinking (or, in this case, not thinking) to finally end. Progressive thought has brought us straight to the brink -- only an equal but opposite force can move us away from it. [Broke, pg 203-204]
Beck's invocation of King in this context is gratuitous and shameless.
What did King think about the "biggest lie of all," according to Beck? A brief recap:
- King: "[W]e are dealing with issues that cannot be solved without the nation spending billions of dollars -- and undergoing a radical redistribution of economic power." In his book Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Laws That Changed America, author Nick Kotz writes that during a 1968 trip to Mississippi, King stated: "It didn't cost the nation one penny to integrate lunch counters," and, "It didn't cost the nation one penny to guarantee the right to vote." King concluded that "now, we are dealing with issues that cannot be solved without the nation spending billions of dollars -- and undergoing a radical redistribution of economic power."
- King's "American Dream": "[P]roperty widely distributed" and "a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few." In his 1961 address to the AFL-CIO, King discussed how the "American dream" hasn't yet been fulfilled because it requires "equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed." King specifically decried the idea of taking "necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few."
- King: "We will place the problems of the poor at the seat of government of the wealthiest nation in the history of mankind." King was quoted in an article published shortly after his assassination in 1968 as saying that it was the government's responsibility to "acknowledge its debt to the poor," or else it will have "failed to live up to its promise to insure 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to its citizens.'" He called for an "economic bill of rights" that would "guarantee a job to all people who want to work and are able to work.
- King: "Some will be called reds and Communists merely because they believe in economic justice and the brotherhood of man. But we shall overcome." King predicted that critics like Glenn Beck would vilify those who believe in "economic justice" by invoking communism. In a 1961 speech to the AFL-CIO, King dismissed the idea that his adherence to "economic justice" somehow made him a Communist, saying: "Yes, before the victory is won, some will be misunderstood. Some will be dismissed as dangerous rabble-rousers and agitators. Some will be called reds and Communists merely because they believe in economic justice and the brotherhood of man. But we shall overcome." [A Testament of Hope, Page 207]
"No lie can live forever" -- and the lie that Glenn Beck and Martin Luther King have anything in common in terms of economic philosophy died a long time ago.

Mischievous, long-time Euro-skeptic and ascendant political force Nigel Farage smiles as he pulls out the cover of his passport. It's a homemade depiction of the way British passports used to look before the country joined the European Union, deep blue with a giant coat of arms and "British Passport" written in gold across the top. Tucked inside is his actual passport, in red, with "European Union" on the top.
"I had a bunch of these made up," Mr. Farage says, holding the cover like a prized possession. He's standing in London's St. Pancras train station about to board a first-class cabin of the Eurostar bound for Brussels. He looks dapper in a hat and long coat and laughs easily, in a raspy manner that's a product of far too much smoking. "Kind of like condoms, aren't they?"
Mr. Farage wastes no opportunity to mock, chastise or criticize the EU. He has made it a crusade as a co-founder and leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, or UKip, dedicated to pulling Britain out of the EU.
For years, the party languished on the fringe of British politics, barely getting 3 per cent of the vote in most national elections and once derided by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron as a collection of "fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists."
Mr. Cameron won't be so dismissive any more. As Europe struggles with a never-ending financial crisis and the recession drags on in Britain, UKip's anti-EU message and stance on immigration reform is winning converts. The party finished second in two recent by-elections, came third in another and is polling as high as 13 per cent nationally (above 20 per cent in some regions), putting the party neck and neck with Mr. Cameron's coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats. UKip is now Mr. Cameron's biggest threat as Mr. Farage begins to win over the Tory base and there is talk of Conservative MPs defecting. One sure sign of UKip's impact are recent comments Mr. Cameron made that Britain's withdrawal from the EU is "imaginable" and suggestions he might hold a referendum on EU membership.
All of which delights Mr. Farage, a chain-smoking, bibulous, former commodity trader who has been struggling to make UKip relevant for nearly 20 years. The party's message "is resonating because people are saying, 'Bloody hell, Nigel, you were right. We thought you were crackers,'" Mr. Farage says.
Mr. Farage, 48, relishes his role as thorn in the side of Mr. Cameron, who he believes is only interested in holding power. "There are two types of people in politics," he says. "There are those in politics to achieve rank and distinction, and there are those in politics who want to change the world. I'm a member of the latter category."
Mr. Cameron is feeling the heat. UKip's message of a strong, independent Britain – with tighter controls on work permits and social benefits for newcomers – resonates particularly well among some Tories and the unemployed who feel they are losing out to Poles in particular. Recently released census figures show there has been a ninefold increase in the number of Polish migrants in the past decade, with most of it coming after Poland joined the EU in 2004. All fodder for UKip and trouble for Mr. Cameron.
The two political rivals couldn't be more different. While the Prime Minister comes from privilege and was educated at Eton College and Oxford, Mr. Farage grew up in modest surroundings in Farnborough, southwest of London, with an alcoholic father who left when Mr. Farage was five years old. He skipped university, thought about joining the army but decided to pursue a career as a commodity broker, learning the cutthroat tactics of dealing copper, aluminum and other metals on the London Metals Exchange.
When Britain joined the EU in 1993 after a long, bitter debate, Mr. Farage was convinced the country had given up too much and he immediately helped form UKip. He has wanted to get Britain out ever since.
"I'm the Billy Graham of the Euro-skeptic movement," he says with a sweep of his arm to add to the effect. "You will never meet anybody as long as you live who has given up as much of his life to do politics as I have. You just won't. Bonkers, pig-headedness, bull-headedness, call it what you will. I was determined once I set this course to make this work."
He is also somewhat indestructible, literally. He has survived cancer, a car crash and a plane crash. The latter came on Election Day in 2010 when Mr. Farage hired a small plane to fly a banner for his campaign. The plane became tangled in the banner's cables and plunged to the ground, seriously injuring Mr. Farage and the pilot. "I remember thinking if I ever get out of this alive I'm going to be such a lovely boy," he says with a chuckle, adding that he decided not to text anyone heartfelt goodbyes as the plane went down. Then he adds: "I was a bit upset that they've got a no-smoking policy in the intensive-care unit. And I couldn't get a glass of anything either." As for how he did in the election: "Disastrous. No one votes for a sick man."
UKip has been largely a one-man show under Mr. Farage lately. Although a co-founder of the party, he didn't become leader until 2006, believing he wasn't old enough. He stepped down in 2009, after feeling burned out, and took over again in 2010.
He has also spent years modernizing the party and getting rid of what he called "the idiot wing," hard-liners who made the party resemble the fascist National Front. Some question just how successful that has been. A recent newspaper story portrayed the party's youth wing as a collection of all-white people who believe climate change is a "Marxist myth" and who refer to the EU as a "dictatorship." Many also expressed concern about other census figures showing that, for the first time, white Britons no longer make up the majority of the population in London.
Although UKip has been around since 1993, its big breakthrough came in 2009, when the party won 12 of the 72 seats allocated to Britain in the European parliament. However, the success came mainly because members of the European Parliament are elected across the EU on a proportional system, which benefits small parties. UKip has been unable to translate that support to national elections, which are run on a first-past-the-post system. Mr. Farage is among UKip's MEPs and some question why he would sit in a chamber he wants Britain to exit. All the better to push for change from the inside, he retorts.
As the party's support continues to rise, Mr. Farage is looking to Canada as a model. He sees Ukip as a latter-day Reform Party, a strong challenge to the old-line Progressive Conservatives. "I think the parallels with UKip today and the Reform Party in 1992 are quite eerie," he said, adding that the Tories ignored the challenge and were wiped out. "Reform revolutionized politics in Canada in an incredibly positive way." He has great admiration for Reform co-founder Preston Manning and hopes to meet him one day.
But that all seems a long way off. UKip still battles an image of intolerance and extremism and the party is clearly a bare-bones operation, struggling to keep up with its growing notoriety. During the trip to Brussels, Mr. Farage constantly fielded calls on his cell phone to deal with party issues. He can't cope with all the demands on his time (he recently returned from giving a speech to bankers in Toronto) and his wife now answers most of his e-mails. He'd like to do more research into voter attitudes and recruit strong candidates for the next election, expected in 2015. He'd also like to spend time with his four children, from two marriages, who range in age from 7 to 23.
When asked what might happen if Mr. Cameron simply adopts most of UKip's policies, Mr. Farage doesn't miss a beat: "We win. Come to the victory party. We would have changed the tide of history in this country."
And what would he do then? "Get a proper job."Report Typo/Error

General Care:
To ensure that your casters have a long service life, inspect them regularly and follow these general maintenance tips:
Wipe metal parts with a clean, soft cloth at least once a week. All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or similar products. If exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleanser that will scratch the finish.
Check casters and lubricate as needed. Lubricate by removing fork and greasing caster stem bearings with high-quality multi-purpose grease. Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel from fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by tightening lock nuts until no play remains, but wheels roll freely. If lock nut is too loose, caster will shimmy. If it is too tight, chair will be difficult to steer.
To ensure the best service from your product, contact Cardinal Health at 1-877-227-3462 for more information. DO NOT use non-Cardinal HealthTM parts.
Do Not Attempt To Install Or Use Your Casters Without Reading All Instructions Carefully. Failure To Follow Instructions May Result In Injury.
Consult with your healthcare provider if:
Prior to use, and following any repairs or adjustments, ensure that all attaching hardware is securely tightened. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage.
Do not attempt to replace front casters while chair is in use.

(Natural News) With Amazon.com now purchasing Whole Foods, giving it a near-monopoly over multiple sectors of the U.S. economy, we are entering the age of corporate giants dominating and enslaving humankind. Apple has more debt-free cash than nearly all world governments, including the United States of America (which is drowning in debt). Google has a near-monopoly over all search results, a position of power it exploits to silence dissenting views and disconnect humanity from important knowledge. And Facebook suppresses all truthful information that challenges the false narratives of the globalists. Corporations like these abuse their power to enslave humanity rather than setting us free.
At the dawn of the invention of television, the technology was hailed as a way to bring uplifting education to every corner of the globe. It didn't take long, however, before broadcast television was turned into a means to control the masses through the dissemination of fake news — which has been going on forever — and the programming of consumers to purchase branded products often made with toxic ingredients. The dream of turning TV technology into a mechanism to set humanity free was quickly crushed, and today it is widely known that the more hours people spend watching TV, the more unintelligent and unaware they are. (Do you know any intelligent, self-aware, healthy person who watches TV at all?)
Similarly, the internet was once hailed as a means to set humanity free. But that dream, too, has been crushed under the extreme censorship and obfuscation of internet-intensive businesses like Google, Amazon and Facebook. Here are just a few examples:
What do all these evil corporations and globalist leaders have in common? They are all enemies of humanity:
In effect, these corporations are pure evil. They are run by evil globalists and they ally themselves with other evil corporations that poison our planet, enslave humanity and seek to deprive us all of basic human liberty and dignity.
All these evil corporations depend on one thing to remain in business: Compliant consumers.
If people stop financially supporting these evil corporations, they will cease to exist. The only reason they continue to grow right now is because people continue to feed them economic resources.
Until now, many people had not been fully aware of just how evil these corporations truly are. They had no idea they were about to be enslaved and overrun by Google, Amazon, Facebook and other similar corporate entities. Suddenly, however, it's becoming obvious to even those who previously decried such warnings as "conspiracy theories." Suddenly even Whole Foods workers are waking up, flipping out and realizing they are all about to be made obsolete by the Jeff Bezos robot apocalypse. From Reuters:
"I've heard that Amazon's culture is really cutthroat. That worries me," one bagger at a Providence, Rhode Island, store said.
At least one customer was concerned that an Amazon purchase would further distance Whole Foods from its roots as a purveyor of premium, organic and specialty foods.
…"I think that they are a very profit-driven company, so there might be some streamlining as far as labor," said Sasha Hardin, 28, of the Mount Pleasant store, who has been with Whole Foods for 6-1/2 years.
Here are some action items you can take right now to stop feeding these corporate monsters that are destroying our collective future:
The power is in your hands.
P.S. On a personal note, I'm ready to pre-announce a massive expansion to the Health Ranger Store warehouse and fulfillment center in Texas which will be completed at the end of this year. I'm going to post a survey where you can tell us what sort of products you want us to carry and ship. Because we'll have so much warehouse space available, we're going to substantially expand our product offerings so that you have an ethical choice of where to buy those products. Watch for a story + survey to be posted soon on Natural News. Although we'll never be able to compete with the sheer scale of Amazon — nor its free Prime shipping — we aim to bring you a real alternative to Amazon.com and Whole Foods for the non-perishable products you want the most.
I was ready to offer uhhh, common sense, a hodgepodge of ideas to counter them but I see you did. I don't use FackBook, I don't Google eye anyone, and I don't allow myself to be Amazoned like some people. Yeah, still working on them.
But got your point, return to shopping malls, loco stores and what not. It's odd that all these guys running them are Joos. Most Joos are, sadly, very liberal. And that makes them DANGEROUS.
If you do this they indeed will collapse but not many people will change. Like you said, they watch TOO much TV. I threw mine out decades ago. Have not watched TV since I don't know when.
I really threw it out after getting sick of 3 minute commercials. I once timed it.
Your ideas, although thoughtful, are nothing more than ideas and are the equivalent of those stray cattle that need a cowboy to go and rustle them into the herd. NO matter how far they stray, if they are ON THE GRID, they will succumb to PTB in one way or another. What I am saying is that the world is so overtaken right now by the greedy corporation owners and big pharma who represent the global bankers that to make an effort to fight from inside of it, is an exercise in futility. They're gonna git ya.
You mean the pieces of shit in the white house. Trump is an ass wipe to these same bitches. Trump bends over for AI quantum computers that dictate society. What a punk fucking bitch!
i hate google and bezos and zuckerburg
lets take their money and re distribute it to the people

We know there's a London burrito boom, and everyone also knows that you could easily spend your entire lunch break queuing up to get your fix. But now you can skip that and buy them in bulk by fax instead.
If it sounds a bit retro, bear with me. Chipotle might be a mega chain in the US but there are only three stores in London currently, and they're already buzzing. The burritos they make are delicious, bulging, foil-packed food bombs made with Freedom Foods chicken, pork from free-range pigs and locally sourced veg.
Now they've started the burritos by fax service — you download the form from the Order Now tab online, choose the amount, fax it back and then pick up the order from the shop. Boom.

Hospitality Technology sits down with Scott Gibson, CIO and SVP of Distribution for Best Western International, for a candid perspective on when, where and how hotels can invest for greatest returns on guest satisfaction and on their bottom-line. Plus, Gibson shares his company's near-term tech priorities; for Best Western, an optimized web site ranks high on the list.
A review of the National Restaurant Association's 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast shows that the vast majority of restaurant operations, whether they are mom-and-pop or franchisees carrying a name brand, may be small in size, but they are a very big part of the U.S. economy.
Findings from Hospitality Technology's 12th annual Restaurant Technology Study reveal that the economy continues to tightly grip the restaurant industry. Business metrics continue to be down, leading restaurant companies to act conservatively when investing their IT dollars into new projects.
One of the best resources to learn about the benefits of a specific property management systems is to ask current users. In this informal PMS peer review, hotel operators reveal which property management system they are using and why.
From the POS to kitchen video displays and more, restaurants in fine dining, QSR and family segments are getting an assist to improve order delivery, de-stress backline workers, and improve guest satisfaction. A cross-section of operators dishes on their top kitchen technologies.
An Excel-based Oracle reporting tool is helping Destination Hotels & Resorts' finance department to refocus their time and energy on analyzing data and metrics rather than querying and formatting it for presentation.
The debate surrounding the benefits and drawbacks of self-service continues. Yet for some operators, using self-service could have an enormous impact on the bottom line, and could make the difference between long-term success and failure.
The convergence of social networking initiatives and loyalty programs at the point of sale can both generate sales and reinforce brand allegiance. Tasi D-Lite's director of information and social technologies weighs in on its value.

The Cumberland Glass Works was organized in 1883, and in 1884, began production. The factory was located at the north end of Mechanic St. and Centre St. in the Narrows. The company made excellent quality blown ware for hotel, tavern, restaurant, and home use. They made tumblers and stemware of lead glass, and they decorated by acid etching, copper wheel engraving and fine stone cutting. They featured safe fire polished edges on their wares. Their ads indicated �the only factory in the United States making a specialty of this class of goods�. There is an indication of the type of goods made at �The Cumberland� in the one page catalog shown. It indicates that the items can be ordered in plain glass or in optic design. The optic is vertical mold lines in the bowl section. This is obtained by pushing the hot glass in a ribbed dip mold before blowing the bowl. The ribbing imprint then stays with the glass as it is being blown into a bowl. All of the products were hand blown at �The Cumberland�. The Cumberland Glass Works was known in both the industry and locally as �The Cumberland�.
The main decoration method was done by cutting with a stone wheel. One of the main designs was the laurel type design, which is a continuous line of alternating leaves which are cut somewhat deep. The later decorating companies did the surface cutting to get their designs, but �The Cumberland� would cut a little deeper. One of the most talented design cutters at �The Cumberland� was Gottlieb Burkhard(t). Through family attribution, many deeper cut items have been identified as coming from his hands and thus attributed to �The Cumberland�.
�The Cumberland� made some of the famous gold rim stemware attributed to Cumberland Maryland. But much of their gold rim designs were cut by stone instead of being done by acid etch, as the later companies (Potomac and Maryland) in Cumberland would use. The designs might be the laurel, or a series of punties (cut dots) connected with cut lines. Of course, this labor intense method of cutting the design by hand was adequate before 1900 because labor was much cheaper in those days. As labor costs rose, a less expensive method of applying the design to the rim was developed using acid etching. This rim design was then coated with gold.
Some of the product line at �The Cumberland� was decorated with only the gold on the rim. This is probably how the gold rim type decoration got started in Cumberland, MD. When the plain gold rim seemed somewhat popular, it was then enhanced with a design under the gold. This gold rim type of stemware and tumblers was a product of Cumberland Maryland for about 55 years. This is why so much can be found in the homes of the area.
Another labor intense type of decoration provided by �The Cumberland� was engraving. Engraving takes much longer than cutting, but the end result is much nicer, more exquisite, and much more defined than stone cutting. All you have to do is look at engraving and you can understand its value. There are two items shown that are engraved; the finger bowl and the tumbler with 1900 on the side. The finger bowl has a flower design cut four times around the bowl. The bowl is made of lead glass. This can be determined by setting the bowl on the open palm of your left hand, and flicking your right index finger against the rim of the bowl. If it rings, it is lead glass. If it does not ring, it is lime glass. Lime glass is less expensive to make. When cost becomes an issue, a glass company will change from lead glass to lime glass. But, lime glass does not have quite the value of lead glass. So it really depends on the target market. Common barware should not be made with lead glass. The tavern has a high rate of breakage, and there is no advantage serving whiskey in a lead glass shot glass or serving a beer in a lead glass tumbler. On the other hand, a sophisticated hotel may very well want lead glass. This indicates they want only the best for their customers.
The Cumberland Glass Works developed financial problems by the late 1890�s, and the company was sold to the National Glass Co. in 1899. The National Glass Co. was a conglomerate of about 18 glass factories, formed to be competitive with the U.S. Glass Co. which had over 20 glass factory sites. The U.S. Glass Co. was taking over a very large share of the glass business, which left the individual companies unable to be competitive in the market place. When the National Glass Co. bought the Cumberland Glass Works, the name remained unchanged and the products were mostly the same. The National Glass Co. never attained the strength that the U.S. Glass Co. enjoyed, and by 1905, production decreased at �The Cumberland� until it finally ceased. The factory was idle for a while until it was restarted as the Wellington Glass Co. in 1909.
Examples of the type of wares made at The Cumberland Glass Works.

70-300VR focuses past infinity - is that bad?
Leonard Shepherd wrote:
One reason why most lenses focus beyond infinity is some distant landscape detail is sometimes low contrast and a poor AF target - capable of inducing mis focus.
With these targets manual focus can be more reliable. Being able to focus manually beyond infinity makes it easier to judge precise manual focus on distant detail.
Never have a problem focusing on infinity on any of my old Nikkors just bang the focusing against the infinity end stop, the lenses were collimated to be spot on at infinity focus at that posotion. The latest AF-S lenses all seem to allow focusing beyond infinity whereas my "screwdriver" 85mm has an infinity stop.
The question I have is on AF-S lenses that can focus beyond infinity, does the infinity mark on the scale actually indicate true infinity focus and where there are derth of field markings are these really usable?

Virgin's Luxury First Class Features Whispering Flight Attendants
The trans-Atlantic airline is launching a new and improved Upper Class Suite, complete with a crew that's easy on the ears.
Virgin Atlantic's newest addition to First Class is taking customers (down) to a whole new level.
The Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Suite flight crew is being trained in the art of whispering. In a day-long training session, the staff will be learn how to whisper at the proper decibel level, (between 20 and 30 decibels is ideal), how to speak with the right tone and feeling, and how to intuitively assess a passengers' needs. The new program is designed to allow passengers the most restful travel possible, free from noisy interruptions or intrusions from the crew. Virgin Atlantic owner, Sir Richard Branson, hopes this new conscientious approach to in-flight service will soothe and relax customers, allowing for the most restful flight experience possible.
The new and improved Upper Class Suite — complete with a fully trained whispering staff — launches this April and features some pretty luxurious amenities besides a quiet crew. Along with a chauffeur service to and from the airport, private security checks, and access to 'The Clubhouse' within the airport, the flight itself features leather armchairs, full length beds, double sleeper options, an array of freshly prepared meals, a full on-board bar, and a Revivals Lounge on the other end of your flight with hot showers.
Want to hear these pro-whisperers for yourself? The whole shebang will run you about $10,o00 for a flight from London to New York.

Re: Are the bengals the best team in the afc north?
When I see a guy pimping what appears to be a blog entry without identifying the author, I just assume he's the author & gets paid for clicks. And that the blog entry will be the type of thing you could only get people to read that way. So I don't have to reward him with a click.
Maybe that's cynical of me, but I remain suspicious. If some newbie came along and said "Hey, I think [insert unsupported random opinion], here's a link to my blog," maybe nobody would click it, but at least you have your dignity. Make it good and own it, with a tip of the cap to emdiggy, who does it right. He owns it, and his links have a track record of being worth clicking.

Israel From 10,000 Feet
Posted on Jun 3, 2010
By Joe Conason
The government of Israel is supposedly run by the Jewish state's toughest and most ardent defenders, but so far they have inflicted worse damage on its security and its future than its enemies ever could. By treating a Gaza-bound aid flotilla as a military threat, killing nine civilians and imprisoning hundreds more, that government achieved the only foreseeable outcome: another episode of international isolation and internal demoralization.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Consider the events over the past two years that have led up to this moment. The war on Gaza, initially justified by Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, was grossly disproportional and resulted in war crimes against Palestinians that completely overshadowed the casus belli. Since then, the blockade of Gaza has stopped humanitarian assistance and prevented reconstruction—which has only provoked worldwide support for Hamas' human rights complaints against Israel.
Meanwhile, that war proceeded covertly, as well, leading to the clumsiest intelligence operation in Israel's history—the murder of a Hamas official in Dubai by agents who left behind copious evidence of connections with Mossad. That evidence included passports issued by friendly nations, which of course strained diplomatic relationships with them. Worse, the choice of Dubai as an assassination location put severe pressure on Israel's unofficial but strong relationship with the United Arab Emirates—a powerful force for moderation and tolerance in the region and beyond.
Whatever Hamas lost when Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was throttled in a Dubai hotel room, the damage to Israel was considerably greater.

Yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government seem blithely unaware or uncaring in the wake of its ruinous actions. The question that Israel's friends must ask is the same question that sane Israelis are now openly asking themselves: What is their government's strategy?
Indeed, what strategy could these tactics possibly serve to advance? How is their survival, let alone their future peace and prosperity, enhanced by behavior that alienates every friend and potential friend, while encouraging every foe and creating more of them?
If Israel and the United States believe that the most important security problem is Iran and that regime's possible acquisition of nuclear weapons, then the sane response is to build regional and global alliances in response. Iran's neighbors in the Gulf are almost as unhappy about that looming threat as Israel is. A wise policy would draw those states into regional security arrangements and enhance connections with them.
Of course, that kind of policy would mean refraining from such destructive acts as the Gaza blockade, the Dubai assassination and the flotilla attack. It would require the serious pursuit of renewed peace negotiations with the Palestinians and the Syrians, so that Iran, not Israel, would face isolation. And that, in turn, would demand the end of settlement construction and the acknowledgment that Jerusalem is an international holy place that cannot be controlled by a single state.
As Bill Clinton bluntly reminded Israelis in Jerusalem last winter, none of the fundamental factors that imperil the Jewish state's democratic and peaceful future have changed since his own peacemaking efforts ended in frustration. How unfortunate—and dangerous—that the Netanyahu government is so determined to ignore his warning as its strategic position deteriorates.

>Besides the billionaire Jews in the Mega Group and the Russian Jewish Mafiya families, the other organized crime families running both Likud and Hamas are the Abergils, the Abutbuls, the Fainbergs, the Mogilevichs, the Rosensteins and, of course, the Alperon crime family. Interestingly, all of these Jewish crime families and their supporters in the Mega Group of Jewish billionaires also are heavy backers of John McCain and Joe Lieberman in this country and are behind most of the ecstasy sold in this country. And of course, they are all major players behind the scenes in the Jewish lobby AIPAC. It is a fact that organized crime now permeates the Jewish community, much more so than Sicilian crime families operate among Italians. If Israel wants to survive and if world Jewry wants to do the right thing then it must cleanse itself of the Likud and the Mega billionaires involved with organized crime. And yes the Palestinians must cleanse themselves of the Hamas organized crime syndicate also before there is any chance of peace in the Middle East. Organized crime (Italian, Russian, Israeli, Arab, whatever) has no interest in peace or justice.<

PHNOM PENH – Cambodia's election committee Sunday handed victory in hotly disputed polls to the ruling party of Prime Minister Hun Sen, prompting the opposition to say it will boycott parliament and stage further protests over allegations of widespread fraud.
The kingdom has been stuck in a political impasse since the July election, with Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) insisting it secured a legitimate victory despite vociferous calls from CNRP leader Sam Rainsy for a probe into alleged vote rigging.
The CPP took 68 seats to 55 for the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), according to the country's National Election Committee. The election authority said the CPP won 3.2 million votes to the CNRP's 2.9 million.
It is the ruling party's worst election result since 1998, losing 22 seats since the last polls five years ago.
Analysts say it delivers a significant blow to the CPP and Hun Sen, who has led the country for nearly three decades.
A rare mass rally in the capital Saturday called for an independent probe into results but the NEC's announcement ends the legal avenues open to the opposition to contest the poll.
Rainsy on Sunday moved quickly to reject the NEC's tally, insisting the loss will not blunt his party's efforts to overturn the poll.

PHOENIX – Honda Motor Co. celebrated the first U.S. deliveries of its new HondaJet at a ceremony in Phoenix as it finally marked its long-awaited entry into the aviation market.
The momentous occasion, fulfilling the dream of late founder Soichiro Honda, came 30 years after the company began research on building the small business jet.
Some 130 people, including business moguls, clients and dealers, attended the Friday ceremony, where Honda President Takahiro Hachigo said he was glad to see the founder's dream come true.
The HondaJet costs about $4.5 million, which is relatively expensive for a small business jet, but features a roomier cabin and better fuel efficiency.
In the small-jet market, U.S. manufacturer Cessna Aircraft Co. and Brazil's Embraer SA have a leg up on Honda Aircraft Co., but orders have already surpassed 100 units.
Honda Aircraft President Michimasa Fujino said the HondaJet will pose a challenge because it has a competitive edge.

Join the Email discussion list dedicated completely to Bible Memorization.
Note: A Windows version of this program is now available for download.
The Scripture memory system is a *free* computer program designed to assist Christians in the memorization of large portions of the Bible. It is my goal to encourage as many Christians as I can to build into their lives the discipline of memorizing scripture.
This program must be used in conjunction with other exercises to memorize scripture such as verse cards, reciting, listening to tapes, reading, thinking it out in your head, writing out longhand, etc. In addition it must be used in conjunction with bible study, prayer, meditation, application, sharing with others and such. Memorizing scripture can only be helpful if it is a part of a balanced approach to the Christian life.
The reason why I developed a computer program was because I had a problem with review. After a while it was hard to review all the verses that I had learned and still have time to learn new verses. I would end up forgetting the verses I already learned because I did not get back to them enough.
A review deck of paragraphs you have learned is maintained by the system. The computer records your progress in detail so that it can decide which paragraphs of scripture you most need to review and then present them to you in that sequence. This is of great importance when you have learned a lot of verses, because the amount of time it takes to review these verses would limit the number of new passages learned. Therefore the system selects which passages must be reviewed based on past performance and which ones can be skipped until later.
The scripture memory system will run on any 100% IBM compatible 386 or better which has at least 1 Meg RAM (540 free base Ram) and at least 5 meg free disk space. You must have a SVGA monitor. The system does not use a mouse. It is a DOS program but will work fine in windows 3.1x, 95 or NT.
Fill in the form below and press the download software button. Your browser will start to download a file called SMS213.EXE.
To install the scripture memory system, copy the file you retrieved from the Internet (SMS213.EXE) into an empty directory and run it. When it is finished extracting files type in SMS and press the enter key. The installation will proceed automatically. The program file is called SMS.EXE, so this is the program you would run whenever you want to use the Scripture Memory System.
EG... CD\ MD SMS (Make a new directory) CD \SMS (Go to that new directory) (now copy sms213.exe into this directory) SMS213 (run the program you got from the internet) SMS (this is how you start up the program from now on)Installation questions/problems can be reported to me by sending me an E-Mail

this one. I love these tapestries because 1. They are already hemmed 2. They are in one piece. 3. If you get them on sale it comes to about $3 a yard - even if they are not on sale it's about $6 a yard. 4. You can use them for all kinds of things - quilt backs, tablecloths, tents, and on and on. I always buy them when they go on sale so I will have some on hand. Anyway, I nailed the tapestry to the wall in three places.
I covered up the nails with these little butterflies - decorations from her party and you can learn how to make them here. I think it kind of looks like the butterflies are carrying the tent. Then I simply draped the fabric down over a tension rod that I had placed between the wall and her crib.
I would like to tell you that I sewed a rod pocket for the tension rod...but I actually just used some safety pins to make a little pocket so it wouldn't slide. I think I will probably sew one eventually...or maybe not.
Once I had it in place and to the length I wanted it to be I cut the center with pinking shears from the hem up to the tension rod
- then tied these back with rick-rack.
That's it. It's literally no-sew. (and I mean, hello, it's not like it's an heirloom enchanted tent that I will give my grandchildren - it's just a magical little space for my two-year-old that we will probably change in a year.)
Hope you are inspired to create an enchanting spot for your little one!

Mobile shopping value per capita swells 365% over previous year
By Kathryn Chiu , The China Post Saturday, April 5, 2014, 12:09 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A recent research report from Taiwan-based Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) showed that the value Taiwan's mobile shopping averaged NT$4,629 per person from NT$994 the previous year, a 365-percent growth from the year before.
The MIC report also said that Taiwan's market scale of online purchases made with personal computers averaged NT$17,427 per person in 2013, a marginal growth of 1.3 percent from 2012.
The reported titled "Internet User Behavior and Online Shopping in Taiwan" also outlined product categories consumers like to shop for using mobile phones, comprising sales promotion coupons, travel coupons, 3C products and foodstuffs as well as apparel and accessories with 41 percent, 39.3 percent, 28.1 percent, 23.3 percent and 22 percent.
MIC's industry analyst Chen Ying-chu (陳映竹) indicated that consumers tend to spend money on mobile games, activity coupons books and products catering to group buying. In recent years, they have ventured to buy 3C products, clothes and accessories, a shopping behavior expected to send the mobile shopping market scale higher down the road.
MIC's poll showed that the number of respondents who bought products using handheld devices or mobile apps last year increased by between 3 and 4 percent annually to account for 8.6 percent and 7.6 percent of total online shoppers respectively.
Respondents who said they surf the Internet each day spent about 2.6 hours daily searching for information on various Web sites last year, 0.4 hours of which was devoted to "window-shopping" at e-commerce sites, the survey said.
The average value of purchases on PCs last year was much higher at NT$17,427 per person, but experienced a significantly milder increase of 1.3 percent from the NT$17,203 the previous year, the report showed.
It makes sense that more people buy online because most e-commerce sites make the shopping process simpler and quicker, Chen said, citing the average of 20 minutes it takes online shoppers to complete a purchase.
As telecom operators prepare to launch 4G services as early as the second half of the year, the popularity of online shopping is likely to continue increasing this year from last year, the MIC said.
MIC's report was compiled based on a survey of 4,073 online shoppers aged 20 or above that was conducted in January and February.

LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas is home to one of the nation's top McDonald's restaurant managers. Elizabeth Rodriguez recently received the Ray Kroc Award, an annual performance-based award that recognizes the top performing McDonald's restaurant managers in the country. Named after McDonald's Corporation founder Ray Kroc, the award was established thirteen years ago in 1999 to honor hardworking managers in both corporate owned and independently owned and operated restaurants – those who make Ray Kroc's vision of excellence comes to life in restaurants and for customers each day.
A select 142 managers were chosen this year to receive the Ray Kroc Award, an honor that comes with a cash prize, a Ray Kroc award trophy, ring and pin and a trip to Chicago for an awards gala in March hosted by McDonald's USA President, Jeff Stratton.
"Team building is the key to success; if you build it, it will come" Rodriguez said.
Ray Kroc built the McDonald's business on the belief that greatness can only be achieved through the dedication and support of a Company's people. The award was named after him based on his commitment to people and recognizing their contributions to the organization he helped establish. Each year, this prestigious award is given to the top 1 percent of U.S. General Managers to recognize their superior performance and achievement.
"Elizabeth Rodriguez being honored with the coveted Ray Kroc Award is a true testament to her unwavering commitment to excellence, building our business and taking care of our customers' needs each and every day," said Owner/Operator James Vance. "We are truly proud to have Elizabeth Rodriguez as part of our McDonald's family and commend her on this truly amazing accolade."
Elizabeth Rodriguez has worked at the Vance Organization whose independently owned and operated McDonald's for 6.5 years as a valued manager.
Winners of the Ray Kroc Award run high performing, profitable restaurants that meet McDonald's critical customer standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness. They have strong business knowledge and achieve superior results in restaurant operations, people management and building the business. As a recognized leader in the restaurant, they develop a restaurant team focused on ensuring customers get a fast, accurate and friendly experience every visit.
McDonald's Owner/Operators and/or regional staff nominate restaurant managers for the Ray Kroc Award to recognize their hard work, dedication and commitment to McDonald's. From there, a selection committee of representatives from McDonald's Operations, Training and Human Resources select the top one percent of General Managers for the Ray Kroc Award.

So Damn Much Money: The Triumph of Lobbying and the Corrosion of American… (original 2009; edition 2009)
by Robert G. Kaiser
Work details
So damn much money: the triumph of lobbying and the corrosion of American government by Robert G. Kaiser (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
If you're anything of an idealist about the American system of government, this book might just break your heart. Not to say that our government is irretrievably flawed, but it's been significantly corrupted over the decades by the powerful influence of money. It's a well researched book, but it does read much like a research paper. While it detailed the growth, development, and tactics of lobbying in DC since the 1970s, what made the book interesting was the use of the Cassidy & Associates as its vehicle. We see how one individual was able to find a competitive niche, create an industry, and exploit it for over four decades. Insights into Cassidy's personal and professional relationships and the off-camera antics of prominent politicians of years past were also illuminating. Not a great book, but it should be required reading for anyone studying politics in the U.S.
Over the last thirty years lobbying has become a $4 billion industry in Washington, DC. Focusing on the story of Gerald Cassidy, one of the most successful early players in the business, Kaiser looks at the rise of earmarks and the influence of new campaign strategies to explain the interconnection between logrolling, campaign finance, corporate interests and policymaking. He makes it clear that we are collectively responsible for the corrosion of democracy that results from this new system.
The book was 60% the lobbying firm Cassidy and Associates and 40% about the political climate that allowed them to prosper. My main interest in reading the book was in the political and cultural movements since '75 or so which have caused governance to crash against that huge wall of money, and though I got some information, I got a lot more about the lifestyles of wealthy lobbyinsts.
I found it hard to read because of that, having to slog through personal histories for a political nugget. I don't normally keep on a book for two months, pure hunger for the sparse subject matter kept me slogging away at it.
I have to think there are better books on the abandomnent of governance by our elected officials, but I continue to struggle to find one. My recommendation is that you avoid this one and join the struggle..
After seeing Kaiser on a segment on Bill Moyers Journal, I was intrigued enough to buy his book. He follows the career of Gerry Cassidy, one of Washington's most important lobbyists, to show us the deterioration of politics and the increasing influence of money: lobbying, earmarks, and campaign funding. The book shows how endemic the corruption is: it is bipartisan and thoroughly entrenched. Kaiser shows how the corruption blossoms, tactic by tactic, sinking its roots ever deeper into the fabric of Washington politics. He offers a few ideas in the final chapter for reforms that might be able to fix the problem, but offers scant hope that they will be implemented without considerably more pressure coming from the citizenry.
Fascinating...[Kaiser] provides a thoroughly researched expose on the modern lobbying industry in America...This is important reading for understanding the relationship between lobbying, legislation, and elections over the last thirty years.
Excellent...illuminating...Kaiser's narrative skills are formidable.
Fascinating and well told...Kaiser amply demonstrates what [money] has done in Washington...Could not be timelier.
Kaiser's account dwells less on blatant corruption than on what is perfectly, depressingly legal. Lobbyists, for all their policy-shaping aspirations, come across as simple bagmen, conveying cash between buyers in the private sector and all-too-willing sellers in Congress.
A triumph...We're introduced to all the tricks of the lobbying trade; we watch public servants reap private rewards as lobbyists. Is it true elections are bought and sold? It's all here...Not a pretty tale, but essential reading for today.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307266540, Hardcover)Book Description
The startling story of the monumental growth of lobbying in Washington, D.C., and how it undermines effective government and pollutes our politics.
A true insider, Robert G. Kaiser has monitored American politics for The Washington Post for nearly half a century. In this sometimes shocking and always riveting book, he explains how and why, over the last four decades, Washington became a dysfunctional capital. At the heart of his story is money--money made by special interests using campaign contributions and lobbyists to influence government decisions, and money demanded by congressional candidates to pay for their increasingly expensive campaigns, which can cost a staggering sum. In 1974, the average winning campaign for the Senate cost $437,000; by 2006, that number had grown to $7.92 million. The cost of winning House campaigns grew comparably: $56,500 in 1974, $1.3 million in 2006.
Politicians' need for money and the willingness, even eagerness, of special interests and lobbyists to provide it explain much of what has gone wrong in Washington. They have created a mutually beneficial, mutually reinforcing relationship between special interests and elected representatives, and they have created a new class in Washington, wealthy lobbyists whose careers often begin in public service. Kaiser shows us how behavior by public officials that was once considered corrupt or improper became commonplace, how special interests became the principal funders of elections, and how our biggest national problems--health care, global warming, and the looming crises of Medicare and Social Security, among others--have been ignored as a result.
Kaiser illuminates this progression through the saga of Gerald S. J. Cassidy, a Jay Gatsby for modern Washington. Cassidy came to Washington in 1969 as an idealistic young lawyer determined to help feed the hungry. Over the course of thirty years, he built one of the city's largest and most profitable lobbying firms and accumulated a personal fortune of more than $100 million. Cassidy's story provides an unprecedented view of lobbying from within the belly of the beast.
A timely and tremendously important book that finally explains how Washington really works today, and why it works so badly.
Amazon Exclusive: An Essay by Robert G. Kaiser
Last fall the House of Representatives set off a sudden collapse of the stock market by voting against the first version of the "bailout" legislation that had been hurriedly written to try to stabilize American banks and other financial institutions. Supporters of the bailout scrambled to change the legislation in ways that would win support for it from a majority of Congressmen. In a matter of days new provisions were added: extension of an excise-tax rebate for makers of Puerto Rican rum (cost to the Treasury, $192 million); extension of a special tax break for the owners of stock car racing tracks (cost, $100 million); a tax break for makers of movies within the borders of the United States (cost over ten years, $478 million) and more. These "sweeteners"--a revealing bit of Washington jargon--did the trick. Days after rejecting the $750 billion bailout, the House approved it.
This dreary sequence was evidence of a fact that careful students of Washington's ways had realized for some time: In the first decade of the new millennium, the government of the United States was broken. It had taken three decades to create the mess. Democrats and Republicans had collaborated in its creation, and as that story of the sweetening of the bailout bill makes clear, money was at the heart of the problem.
Those sweeteners were payoffs of a kind--spending proposals that would allow the politicians promoting them to boast of their own influence in Washington, hoping to win votes in the process. Spending on the favored projects of Senators and Congressmen had grown exponentially since Republicans took over congress in 1994 and decided that they could defend their majorities if their members could bring home a lot of bacon. Hence the explosion of the legislative provisions called "earmarks" that John McCain assailed in his presidential campaign.
But money became a dominant factor in more insidious ways. Over the 30 years, opinion polls, focus groups and television commercials became the most effective tools to win elections, and all of them were expensive. So were the consultants whom candidates hired to make their commercials, shape their campaigns, even choose the issues they would run on. To win a politician needed a lot of money. Money could elect someone to office who never addressed important matters that affect ordinary Americans' lives. Money elects candidates who have no real philosophy of governance nor a coherent view of the world. The result has been unreal politics--candidates winning or losing office on the basis of their positions on social issues essentially unrelated to governance, for example.
Not addressing problems has become easy in a political environment distorted by money. In these three decades when money became so important in Washington, Congress lost much of its effectiveness as a governing institution. Running for reelection became more important than running the country, or keeping an eye on the exercise of executive power--the roles the Founders envisioned for the House and Senate. The quality of governance in the United States had declined palpably in these years.

A lion of an April snowstorm has just departed Montana. With this three day dump record snowfall has blanketed Central Montana. Many locations received two feet of new snow with some spots getting hammered with three and four feet of heavy snowfall. St. Mary, MT, on the east side of Glacier National Park, got pasted with 60"!!!
With new records being set all over the state, I ventured north and got a taste of spring kiting on a massive ranch. In typical Montana fashion all it took was a simple knock on the door, a brief introduction and within a minute I had permission to kite on thousands of snow covered acres.
I picked a launch that allowed me to go directly up the fall line - downwind - perfect for smooth gliding. Atop Baldy Mountain I found elk tracks everywhere and spectacular views as well. I kited until sunset and then rolled up my 12m Manta2 and made turns for the 1500 vertical back to the truck.
It was another special session and a great way to finish off the last day of April.
See ya out there,

"I solemnly promise and declare that every customer that comes within 10 feet of me, I will smile, look them in the eye, and greet them, so help me Sam." -- Wal-Mart employee pledge
Dell & IBM Sign Mega Deal
PC makers Dell Computer (Nasdaq: DELL) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) will announce a multi-billion dollar strategic agreement, "believed to be the largest agreement of its kind in the information-technology industry," at a news conference today at 10 a.m. Eastern time. A press release will be posted on Dell's website at 9:30 a.m., and the press conference will be webcast live by broadcast.com.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the deal could generate significant revenue for IBM in the short term and boost Dell's customer support services. Dell has been moving to provide larger computers, such as servers and workstations, but has been hindered by its lack of a comprehensive service business to support these machines. IBM's $30 billion service business is one of Big Blue's fastest-growing sectors and provides everything from computer consulting to installation and maintenance. In addition, Dell's other rivals Compaq Computer (NYSE: CPQ) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HWP) also already have well-established service businesses that operate in the U.S. and abroad.
Today's new conference follows yesterday's launch of Dell's new online superstore, gigabuys.com, which offers more than 30,000 computer-related products and services including printers, digital cameras, personal digital assistants, scanners, games, and imaging and educational software. Shares of Dell and IBM were trading up in European markets. U.S. trading will probably be delayed until after the press announcement.
News to Go
Casual clothing retailer American Eagle Outfitters (Nasdaq: AEOS) said its February same-store sales jumped 33% from the same year-ago period.
Paris-based telecommunications equipment company Alcatel (NYSE: ALA) announced it will acquire privately held Assured Access Technology Inc. in a cash deal valued at $350 million, which includes the equity purchase price as well as a technology development incentive plan. Assured Access, which develops remote-access products for the Internet, will keep its name and CEO and continue to operate out of Milpitas, California.
Germany's Siemens AG is in preliminary talks with networking company 3Com (Nasdaq: COMS) regarding a $1.2 billion offer to buy the 3Com unit that sells networking equipment to phone companies, The New York Times reported. Siemens is reportedly set to form a new U.S. data-networking subsidiary after it acquires two privately held companies, invests in a third, and hires a senior executive from IBM to head the new venture.
Discount airline Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) will announce plans to begin flying to North Carolina's Raleigh-Durham airport (RDU), The Wall Street Journal reported. Such plans would give Southwest its first city between Baltimore and Florida and allow the company to move in on the turf of Midway Airlines (Nasdaq: MDWY), currently the biggest carrier at RDU.
Women's apparel retailer Liz Claiborne (NYSE: LIZ) announced plans to buy back up to an additional $100 million of common stock.
The nation's largest online bank Net.B@nk Inc. (Nasdaq: NTBK) said it's adding new accounts faster than it had expected thanks to a new advertising campaign. The company signed up 2,800 customers in February and anticipates it will top that number this month.
Applied Micro Circuits (Nasdaq: AMCC), which makes semiconductors used in communications networks, said it has agreed to buy privately held Cimaron Communications Corp. for around $115 million in stock to expand its high-speed digital communications business.
Goldman Sachs announced that its management committee has approved a plan to go public that will be submitted to the investment bank's partners for a vote next Monday. Barring a repeat of the stock market drop that undid its plans last fall, the bank said it will make an initial public offering (IPO) by early summer. The IPO is expected to raise $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion.
