happening. >> i think you're exactly right. i think they're in the driver's seat here politically. this business about raising taxes, it's not catching on. i just don't hear it from down there. >> the house republicans aren't feeling the president to raise taxes. it's a complicated argument to help, that's why it's really not catching fire. a lot of defense industry lobbyists are giving republicans heat, they don't feel heat from the constituents because the constituents they think want to see real spending cuts. americans want spending cuts, they don't want political gains. >> i really do. i think when you look at the poll, americans still want smaller government and fewer services, aka spending cuts. i think this is the white house's big mistake, they're barking up the wrong tree. the only question i have, it is after all republicans, will they hang tough? in your opinion, you're closer to it, will they hang tough? >> i spent all day on capitol hill talking to house republicans privately saying
7:01 pm
what's going to happen between now and march 1st? they say the house leader has promised them privately they're not going to replace the sequester unless there are real cuts to replace the sequester, nothing else, tax reform, tinkering with the tax code, different kinds of cuts is not going to cut it because house republicans have been promised the sequester is going to happen unless it's a real solid replacement. >> i think that's the public move. robert costa, thanks ever so much. now let's talk some more about this. dan mitchell is a senior fellow at the kato institute. the wall street journal put it very well, this isn't so much budget cutting as rolling back huge double-digit increases from 2008. that's all this is. >> not just 2008. government spending exploded during the bush years, obama added on top of that. let's remember all the sequester does is shave off a little bit
7:02 pm
of the built-in growth of government spending. over the next ten years, the budget, even with the sequester, will go from $3.5 trillion to $5.9 trillion. we're still going to get $2.4 trillion more spending. we're just not going to get $2.5 trillion more spending. i view the sequester as a very tiny step in the right direction. >> jared, you look at some of these figure, if you include the emergency money more hurricane sandy, that just means we've had a 30% increase since 2008. now under the so-called sequester, we'll have a 5% increase. it's not like we're ripping the government to shreds. >> look, the way this works is you get negative fiscal impulse when you do less then th year than you did last year. let's go to the non-partisan congressional budget office. they told us on tuesday this year they expect the economy to grow 1.4%. i don't think there's anybody listening to my voice on our financial news network of cnbc who likes that number, 1.4%.
7:03 pm
i suspect you don't like it either, larry. they said this fiscal contraction, including the sequester is cutting 1.5% off gdp growth, the difference between 1.4% and 2.9%. would you rather look at a 3.3 gdp growth in year? i would. that's what's upsetting people. >> the bigger question is, dan mitchell, do you buy the congressional budget office numbers? >> that's a conventional forecast. >> it may be a conventional forecast but it could also be wrong. dan mitchell, i want your professional opinion. we spent our heads off for the still luck package in 2009. this is still the worst economic recovery in the postwar period. dan, why not try limited government? or let me put it a different way, slightly less spending, is that good or bad for the economy? >> the congressional budget office is still wedded to the 1950s, 1960s style keynesian
7:04 pm
model. more government spending simply diverts resources from the product of sector of the economy. it's not a recipe for growth. if it was france would be prosperous and hong kong and singapore would be in permanent recession. we need smaller government and lower taxes and obama wants to go the other direction. that's a big mistake. >> larry, for reasons that i think are probably pretty good with a lot of money riding on them, people listen a lot more to the cbo. >> that's a little unfair, jared. everybody conventional forecast -- you don't have to be a keynesian. look at goldman sachs, look at -- >> goldman sachs -- >> look at macroeconomic advisers. when you have this negative -- that's a great discussion.
7:05 pm
>> come on. goldman sachs and the congressional budget office both predicted substantial increases in real gdp after that 2009 stimulus package. dan mitchell, that's so odd about this. yeah, the conventional wisdom can be wrong. let me ask another silly question in the middle of this thing. why is it that higher tax revenues will help the economy but lower spending won't? if you look at president obama's argument today, he's saying let's replace the sequester with higher tax revenues. that's okay. but lower spending is not. i don't get that, dan. i think that's illogical, dan. >> in theory, if you're a keynesian, you should dislike higher taxes in the short run as much as you des like lislike lo spending. this is an issue of obama, he got a tax increase on january 1st. now he wants another tax increased. this guy is an alcoholic for higher taxes and he's looking
7:06 pm
for any excuse to try to get republicans into that breyer patch and the big difference between this fight over the sequester and the fiscal cliff, obama had the upper hand with the fiscal cliff but a big increase would happen automatically. now the republicans have the upper hand. if we do nothing, we finally slightly reduce the growth rate of federal spending. i know it gets jared and the keynesians all upset. it would be good for our economy. >> so far we have cut $1.5 trillion of spending over ten years and raised about $600 billion in taxes. if cutting spending helped the economy, we ought to be doing better than we're doing right now. now, i think you guys have a point about the tax increases. it matters less when you're talking about raising taxes on people who are no income or liquidity constrained, folks at the top the scale. but i take your point. i don't think it makes sense, for example, to say let's not do these cuts, let's do those cuts.
7:07 pm
i'm not the only one who thinks that. there a lot of republicans -- maybe bob costa, and you may be right. including john mccain who said this morning this is going to cost a million jobs if we do the sequester. i happen to think that's a highest mat but it's not just democrats. >> with all respect to john mccain, his record may be worse than the cato institute and mine. >> spending was cut from 22% of gdp to 18% of gdp. spending was cut a lot, those are big numbers and guess, what the economy boomed. sometimes if you leave capital in private hand, you get a better economy. >> larry, let me just say -- >> i got to get out of here. >> i am all for the government getting out of the way, it's a matter of a hippocratic oath, do no harm.
7:08 pm
>> did you say a hypocritical oath? let me get this right. >> hippocratical. >> economic news was mixed but i think the bullish fundamentals still look good and i have a fair and balanced question for everybody out there. can we call this the obama rally? that's right. i'm going to ask that question. later on in the show, she's the woman a lot of democrats and republicans say would have made the best next a second. she joins us later this how to talk about why defense cuts are both necessary and feasible. doesn't forget, folks, free market capitalism is always the best path to prosperity. free market capitalism clause smaller, more limited government. clients are always learning more

7:11 pm
let's start our look at the markets with the new just broke from the social media site linked-in. it really delivered a monster beat on earnings. julia joins us with the details. >> linkedin is really firing on
7:12 pm
all cylinders. the stock shot about 10% higher. it's now about 9% higher, this after revenue grew 81% over last year, up 12 cents per year in the year ago period. the company said mobile is having a huge impact with 27% members visiting the service through its mobile apps. some changes the company has made to the linked-in pro vile and it's new influencing program is really working with double number of members updating their profile from a year ago. the ceo says the company plans to raise prices on its tools for human resources professionals, but he said he won't see a big impact until next year. it's amazing how they've grown their advertising revenues, they have the hr tools and premium membership. >> if i want to go on as a
7:13 pm
premium membership, have i to pony up. >> you can go on for free but then you can pony up for a premi premium membership. linkedin has consistently delivered. it's beaten earnings expectations every single quarter since becoming an ipo. >> since mid-november right after the election, i want to ask the question that 11% increase in the s&p 500, i want to be fair and balanced. i've gotten tweets about this and e-mails. is this the obama stock market rally? the obama reelection stock market rally? i get tweets, e-mails. people say, kudlow, you're not being honest. i'm going to do it. go ahead. >> i think stocks are depressed, if you look at what's happened
7:14 pm
to the price/earnings ratio, it's gone down. stocks are depressed, larry. >> but they're up -- >> not adjusted for inflation. >> there is no inflation. >> those cpi numbers a gimmick. they don't count price increase because the technology improved in a product, they don't incorporate health care in the cpi. >> i'm looking under the drawer, i'm looking under the waste paper basket, i hear about this inflation. the price of goal has fallen $350. abigail doolittle, fair and balanced, since the election basically the broad index has gone up 11%. is it the obama rally? >> i do not think it's the obama rally. i think it's the extension of the federally. we've had the federal reserve continue to support the risk assets and kmocommodities. it reflects the decision to
7:15 pm
replace operation twist -- >> you want to give him any credit at all? >> earlier this week i spoke to the ceo of the dow company and ce disney. disney has a pretty good sense of what's going on wts consumer, the sense of consumer confidence and in terms of advertising. he said that the last quarter they had to deal with the fiscal cliff, there was concern and uncertainty about the fiscal cliff, there was the hurricane and the uncertainty around the election. he feels now that we have all these things behind ushs t, the consumers are feeling a little more confident. he's seeing a general shift toward optimism. >> so things played out and no one person is driving it. is that what you're saying? things just played out. >> there were a lot of factors creating a cloud of uncertainty in the past quarter and those have lifted.
7:16 pm
>> bob ieger doesn't know economics. consumers don't drive the economy. >> he was speaking about consumers and the role consumers play. >> if you don't have a job, it doesn't matter. entrepreneurial spirit in this country is dead. fixed capital investment is ete same level today -- >> so you don't give obama credit? >> it's all money printing. you have a spike in asset values ush don't have any revenue growth in the top corporations and small businesses are getting killed. >> i think private business deserves some credit, corporations, the back bone of the kmirks back bone of the stock market, profits are the mother's milk of stocks and they continue to outperform. >> they continue to outperform right now but something that a lot of investors or that's not given a lot of attention is that we're in a secular bear market relative to valuation. if you look that the on a charted basis, peak valuation
7:17 pm
was up near 32 types the s&p earnings estimate and right now it's dropped to 14. i would suggest that could drop lower to 10. there has been this cloud of uncertainty lifted but what may loom in another month or two is what's going to happen around this payroll tax hike? is that going to affect consumers? gasoline, food. so i think that that one -- >> so you're a bear? >> i'm near term a little bullish. we could see a little frothy action to the up side. >> you can't be a bear and bull. >> i'm a long-term bear. i hope -- >> can i say a long term bull? >> absolutely. it makes for a great discussion. >> a long-term bull. some the things you mentioned and this bob ieger thing reminds me we have a lot of great corporations in this country and a lot of good ceos. they may not make the front pages the way some of the bad apples do but they're pretty darn good. if we can get some kicker from
7:18 pm
small economy, i think they can run. i also think big business and middle business is doing better than we think. consumers, they're wealthier, the housing prices have at least stopped falling and they're in the stock market. 50% of the households own stock. >> it is my job to talk to entrepreneurs and people who have created startups all the time. i do think there is a sense of optimism that the barriers to entry for startups have come down. especially i'm thinking in the tech space, it's maybe a little bit harder to get funding than it was two years ago but it's easier to start a company, the tools are there, they're cheaper. anyone with a really good idea feels they can get their ideas out there. >> just for fun, in the 90s, particularly the second half of the 90s, would you have called that the clinton bull market? >> absolutely, for one big reason. government spending was below 19%. i want that g out of there and
7:19 pm
the i up. >> in the 1980s you would have called that the reagan bull market? >> absolutely. >> but i can't get you to say it's the obama rally. >> what but? >> i think it's the bernanke profit making businesses ceo lean and mean rally, maerk's resilient private secretator, t heart of the free market economy is holding up better than i would have guessed and good for them. thank you very much and michael, who likes some decades better than others. now, folks, have you seen a weather forecast lately? not good, massive snowstorm on the way for the northeast. they're talking about this being an historic event. we have the latest on that just ahead. come on, nowadays lots of people go by themselves.

7:23 pm
expecting 12 to 18 inches there. this is going to be a blockbuster storm. the big question is can we get everybody off the roads in time? that's what the desire is hout . the government says, look, i want all unnecessary vehicles off the road by noon tomorrow. so if we have a scene like you see behind me here, larry, where i-93 is backlogged at this time tomorrow night, we're going to have a disaster on our hands. that means some of these people are going to be spend being the night in their cars riding out the storm. 35 years ago the famous blizzard of '78 it was rush hour and people got trapped in their cars. if they are in their cars this time, the same thing will happen. history will repeat itself. we will also have hurricane force gusts along the coastline. some of these areas that were weakened by sandy will be very, very vulnerable certainly to the storm surge and the wave action that will happen with this huge nor'easter. we expect to measure this one with a yard stick, larry, two to

three feet expected here in boston. >> jim cantore, if it's starting up in the boston area, how fast does it come south and west through connecticut into new york city and the metropolitan area here? >> it's going the other way around. it's going to start -- new york city will be tomorrow morning, connecticut will be about midday, then boston mid afternoon and then again everybody just needs to be off the roads. if we can get everybody off the roads by noon tomorrow through noon on saturday, we're going to save a lot of people a lot of frustration because i'm telling you, when it's start snowing at two to three inches an hour, the plows can't keep up. all it takes is one bus to slide off the road and it's gridlock on the roadways. running out of gas and spending the night in a cold car, it's not fun. i never talked to anyone who said they wanted to do that again, spend the night in a cold car. >> take care of yourself.
7:25 pm
>> tonight we heard another dire warning from secretary of defense leon panetta about what would happen if the sequester cuts quick in. next and protesters interrupted confirmation hearings five times before cia director john brennan even finished his opening statement. what were they angry about? drones taking out american traitors overseas. we'll talk about that in the next little bit with ann coulter. step seven point two one two. verify and lock. command is locked. five seconds. three, two, one. standing by for capture. the most innovative software on the planet...

7:28 pm
in this half hour, the controversial and incomparable ann coulter will join us to talk about a revealing day in washington, d.c., foreign policy, the sad truth about benghazi. the cia director john brennan and his support for drone bombings to kill american traitors and we might get into waterboarding as well. first up the automatic sequester spending cuts set to kick in in three weeks. outgoing secretary of defense leon pan et offered these dire warning today before congress. take a listen. >> frankly one of the greatest security risks we are now facing
7:29 pm
as a nation that, this budget uncertainty could prompt the most significant readiness -- military readiness crisis in more than a decade. >> all right. but there are ways to responsibly trim the pentagon's budget and still protect national security. former defense undersecretary michelle flournoy, if identify got that right -- michelle flournoy, i beg your pardon, she penned an op-ed in the wall street journal this week. joining us is aforementioned michele flournoy. michelle, or undersecretary, which ever you prefer -- >> michelle, please. >> i thought your piece was terrific. sequester or not, defense department is going to lose 10% of its budget and you think there are good ways to do it. walk us through some of the key
7:30 pm
points. >> i do think the defense budget will come under pressure, even if we do get a deal. there are ways to reduce costs go after the defense enterprise rather than balance the budget on the back of the force. first cutting unnecessary overhead. the pentagon and d.o.d. has grown by more than 100,000 civilians in the last decade. we can pare those back now that we're coming out of a period of war. >> i thought your civilian argument was great. we've been through these wars and you're saying you can take it right back down without losing any national security. >> i think if you're careful in how do you it, you can reshape the force and come out in a leaner and more agile organization. >> what about another civilian, maybe it's not civilian, you talk about reducing the cost of military health care. and i guess that includes things
7:31 pm
like co-pay. we have this problem throughout the government, michelle. should it be done, can it be done in d.o.d.? >> i think it can be. d.o.d. health care growing faster than civilian health care and other government health care programs. i think with more effective management you could end up taking cost out without reducing the quality of care. we obviously want to be fair about this but we are on an unsustainable trajectory and this is a really important benefit to make sure that we sustain and preserve for our military members and their families. >> did this stuff come up when you were undersecretary? did reformers like yourself ever have a chance to these issues? >> i was on more of the foreign policy side of the house in my tenure. but there are people in the house going after this. ash carter has launched something called better buying power, which is an effort to do some acquisition reform. there have been some efforts.
7:32 pm
the problem is the department doesn't currently have the authority it needs from congress to really manage these issues, to shape the civilian work force, to cut unnecessary infrastructure, close bases and so forth to reshape the health care program. we need the support of congress to do this. otherwise you're going to have to cut readiness, cut force structure and modernization in ways that could really undermine our security. >> that's the stuff, the readiness stuff that we don't want to do. >> absolutely. >> that's the stuff where we have to be on alert for the benghazis of the world or who knows what. it's still a dangerous place out there. you're not denying that? >> no, not at all. we're going to have a draw down coming out of afghanistan and iraq but the world is extremely volatile. we are still a global leader, we have interests around the world. we need a military that can project power rapidly, respond to crises, protect americans and our interests around the world and our allies. so readiness is the last thing
7:33 pm
you want to cut, not the first. >> so we've got civilian overhead. we've got military health care co-pays or whatever. what about base closings? we had base closings in the 90s, thought it worked pretty well. base closings would save a lot of money, wouldn't they? >> they do over time. initially it costs some money to actually do the closures but over time they can save substantial sums. the military services have gotten smaller over the last period of years but they have not been allowed to close that excess infrastructure. so that excess bases, facilities, those are hanging like an albatross around their necks. it's drawing billions away from readiness on an ongoing basis. we need a congressional authority to go through another round of base realignment and closure. >> if i'm hearing you right, you're saying there are a number
7:34 pm
of budget moves we can make without damaging or certainly destroying our real national security position. >> absolutely. >> i haven't heard this kind of discussion before. everybody who read your op-ed said the same thing. why can't calmer heads walk through what you're walking through? >> these are very politically contentious third rail kind of issues. these affect jobs in local constituencies, they affect changing culture within a big bureaucratic organization, they may effect some jobs in terms of the civilian workforce and so for forth. these are not unvecontroversial. when you compare to observe all the cuts on the back of the force and not really go after the defense enterprise itself, you really get into some very nasty answered think dangerous trade-offs for national security and we just can't go there. >> does chuck hagel get this?
7:35 pm
can he do the job in your opinion? is he aware of these argue ents? >> i certainly believe so. i think he has talked about a bloated defense enterprise. i certainly hope he will take some of these issues on if he is confirmed. >> once again just to conclude and we appreciate your time very, very much. we can protect our national security as we must but at the same time we can slim down the defense department, we can make some cuts. that's what you're saying? >> i believe that's what we can do if we take the cuts in the right place. >> michelle flournoy, former undersecretary of defense under president obama, we appreciate it very much. thank you. >> now, folks, prepare yourself, america the mighty, ann coulter is about to join us. there's a lot that happened today that we'll have to ask her about that include new revelations about benz and the controversial drone program. you don't want to miss this discussion. ♪ if loving you is wrong

7:39 pm
overseas. where was barack obama the night of the benghazi ambush? what's wrong with water boarding? have you seen "zero dark 30"? i've seen it twice and loved it. joining us is ann coulter. this guy brennan goes up and defends the drone program. if you're an american citizen and become traitor and become an enemy combatant, why shouldn't his head be blown off by a drone? do you have a problem with that? >> no, i don't. but i don't have a problem with waterboarding. i think people who don't want nonamerican citizens who have been captured on the battlefield who don't want their heads dunked in water would be a little testier about this drone program. it's just amazing how the media covers these things. i mean, they would be screaming
7:40 pm
bloody murder if this were bush. though, i guess i'm perfectly happy if obama is doing it. i'm for it. >> it's a good thing. i want to give obama credit for this and give his cia credit for this. brennan is right. so what if you're an american. if you do bad things and you're part of an imminent violent threat to america in sudan or wherever you're going to be, go ahead, take 'em out. the intel is probably right. this is a weird one. conservatives are screaming about this, liberals are screaming about this. only a few smart die hards like why is and i guess me are defending this. why is that? >> well, i haven't been reviewing the conservative press on this but my guess is what they're screaming about is what i was just mentioning. you know, the crickets that we're hearing from the left when, you know, not giving the little darlings their favorite meals at guantanamo used to send
7:41 pm
the acl screaming torture. i think it's more the double standard, not that the military and cia have come up with a way to kill terrorists without putting american lives at risk. i mean, it's perfect. >> mark, this is the odd part about the brennan story. i praise brennan for this drone thing and praise president obama for this drone thing. but the odd thing is how can you be in favor of drones bombing american traitors overseas and take this ma'amby pamby position that water boarding is a bad thing. brennan supported water boarding a few years ago and he's backed off. why is that? >> he's certainly evolved. these aren't very simple questions and the answers to them are very complex. look, i know that ann is upset that there are crickets and i'll interrupt those crickets with expressing what a lot of my friends on the left are concerned about.
7:42 pm
so, yes, while drones are in fact an effective and efficient way to prosecute the war on terror and are mighty success until in the short term, we're spending $2.5 billion in pakistan alone in public diplomacy efforts, trying to win hearts and minds of the pakistani citizens. this is one of the most anti-american countries on the face of the earth. when we prosecutor a war using drone warfare, don't tell them about it for two years. this was very confident and is now becoming more public -- >> why do we have to tell pakistan? they don't deserve anything. they tried to hide osama bin laden, they put the doctor away in prison, the guy who helped us out. who cares about pakistan in this sense? >> they see the collateral damage when it occurs and we're losing a little bit of credibility here. it's important because there's a pakistani company now that was reported in december that's developing drones themselves. so absolutely america is on the
7:43 pm

7:49 pm
obama awl on night of benghazi attack. they had a 5:00 p.m. meeting, nobody heard from the president after the 5:00 p.m. meeting. the whole benghazi business lasted at least seven hours. now it turns out in other news reports today that there was no hillary clinton from the state department, which is her jurisdiction. panetta didn't talk to the president, panetta didn't talk to hillary clinton. i don't know who he talked to. all i know is nobody saved the four people, we didn't see any american force. what's up with that? >> and it's long after the presidential election has run. i mean, you really wonder if democrats would win any elections if we had an honest media in this country. this is really getting to be a problem. the media is becoming a threat to democracy. the things that they went crazy over when bush was president, remember that video at the white house correspondents dinner, we

found weapons of mass destruction in iraq but they were not the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, they had video of the dog looking for weapons of mass destruction under the white house furniture. it was a silly little furniture and you would think someone died. well, here in this case under obama, four people did die and this is coming out five months after it happened, four months after the election? what is with our media? >> the media may be culpable but i want to go back to panetta's's sorry. they had a 5:00 p.m. meeting in the white house but benghazi went on all night long, at least seven hours. point noumber one. point number two, nothing from the president and his defense secretary, this is a crisis with lives at stake? nothing with the secretary of state? at least the ambassador was part of her operation. i don't know where the cia was. in other words, it was sort of like panetta alone, which

was predominantly an attack on america, not necessarily a coverup by america. yes, there was a crisis happening overseas in benghazi and, yes, the state department was scrambling and the administration was scrambling but blaming this on hillary clinton, as i've seen a lot of conservatives -- >> no, i'm not blaming hillary. your first point was right, this is an attack on america. when there is an attack on america, the president should be involved. what panetta said was president obama, who i just praised on the drone attacks, he got that right, but he was awol on benghazi. that's not good. secretary of state hillary clinton. awol. that can't be good, mark. that's all i'm saying. >> when something like that happens happens, when an ambassador is killed and they find out about it, i'm sure they mobilize

Question by Janda: Hosting business critical applications and Web site?
We are planning to start a small business in which we will be providing various solutions like Cloud Computing and SaaS. We are a bunch of java professionals (i.e around 11 java professionals) and would like to start a small business. Our main problem is that we want to host all our business critical applications for our clients online and in-house but we really do not know where to start from. Since some of our applications are business critical, we do not want to rely on the ISP. What we want is the complete control on our applications and database. Could anyone please help us.
Best answer:
Answer by doug a
for complete control you could use rackspace and buy/rent a server from them.
Or you could if you have a decent ISp a Static IP address and the kboweledge set up your own hardware and server everything from the office or whereever.
If you host your own server then you have to be sure you know do regulat backups.
It really does depend on how in house you mean I am a small business using both external and internal solutions to host solutions.
I mean do you use SQL Servers in house and MySQL outside etc. It's a headache but worth the effort in hosting everything yourself.

March 19 was one of the hardest days of my life. Duke, my companion since I left home at 18 passed away. We burried him here at our home. I have not gone one day since with out crying. I have Delilah and she is teaching me new things. However, I still mourn for Duke. He was a dog who had a following of people, who mourned him. Often people who wrote and called and asked how he was before they asked and some that only wanted to know how he was :-). No one could say no to this wonderful smart guy. I used to say Moses, when talking about him, because he knew "dog", and "Duke". He caught on to "Moses" within a week. He is sorely missed.
I even got a memorial tattoo for this ole man. I placed it in a place so I will see it every day, facing me, because as time goes on and I am distanced from this, I still do not want to go a day without remembering him. He taught me a lot. He was a challenge. He was in the "bad" side of the shelter. Two hours from being euthanized. We taught each other alot. I always had to come home, I had a dog to feed. He taught me responsibility, and love, and I taught him boundaries and how to behave, verbal commands. He by far taught me more than I ever taught him. He may have understood my conversations and I was suprised by his knowledge, but if you only knew, what this amazing dog taught me, I cannot even put it in words, I know you dogster owners understand and know!! RIP Duke, you are always in my heart. I will post a picture of the tattoo. ******The tattoo is NOT as big as it appears, I zoomed in on it. It is on the left inside wrist facing me.....can be covered with a watch if it needs to be. ********
Mom has gone and done it again. First they raced off and dropped me at a kennel and mom left and she was crying. This kind of freaked me out. I thought they were leaving me forever. By the time they got back it felt that way. They had to nerve to bring me back a girl puppy. I would have much rather have had a tee shirt that said "My parents went to Palm Springs, CA and all I got was this stinking shirt" but no, these fools had to go and get a puppy.
She is not too bad though, she just has some learning to do. I remember what it was like when I was that age. She has been passed around some so she is learning everyone's different ways of doing things. I feels orry for her. I kind of am beginning to love her. Shhh don't tell the parents.
Well I guess I better go I hear mom in the treats and I want to get all of them before that little stinker comes in there.
Dukem' Nukem!!!!!
My mommy and daddy bought me and my kittie siblings a big new house!! Can you believe it? After living in that rv, I did not think we would have all this room. I am going to take down some pictures of me and show off my new diggs!! I am having to keep the girls in line sometimes. They love to look out the sliding glass windows, I like to look out front and watch people go down the road since not many go down this road it is a big deal if they do!! I have had a lot of fun sitting with mom on her big chair and on the sofa while dad sits with his kitties and sometimes we switch up but no matter what I am jealous cause I want all of the attention!! That is just the way it goes!!
Well off I go to play!!!!!!!!! I have lived in houses and apartments before, but never one all my own!! Thanks mom and dad!

Historical records matching Rufus Wheeler Peckham, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
Immediate Family
About Rufus Wheeler Peckham, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
Rufus Wheeler Peckham (November 8, 1838 – October 24, 1909) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1895 until 1909. He was known for his strong use of substantive due process to invalidate regulations of business and property. Peckham's namesake father was also a lawyer and judge, and a congressman. His older brother, Wheeler Hazard Peckham (1833 – 1905), was one of the lawyers who prosecuted Boss Tweed, and a failed nominee to the Supreme Court. His other brother, John Henry, died at the age of 17.
Peckham was born in Albany, New York, to Rufus Wheeler Peckham and Isabella Adeline; his mother died when he was only nine. Following his graduation from The Albany Academy, he followed in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, being admitted to the bar in Albany in 1859 after teaching himself law by studying in his father's office. After a decade of private practice, Peckham served as the Albany district attorney from 1869 from 1872. Peckham then returned to private legal practice and served as counsel to the City of Albany, until being elected as a trial judge on the New York Supreme Court in 1883. In 1886, Peckham was elected to the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state. This was the third position that Peckham had held after his father, who had also served as the Albany D.A., on the New York Supreme Court, and finally on the Court of Appeals until his death in the 1873 Ville du Havre sinking.
Peckham was active in local Democratic politics, and served as a New York delegate to the 1876 Democratic National Convention. He was also a confidant to such tycoons as J. Pierpont Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller. Many believed these relationships predisposed Peckham to favor business interests while on the Supreme Court.
Rufus Peckham's brother Wheeler was a nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Grover Cleveland, in 1894. However, this nomination was caught in the middle of a political tug-of-war between Cleveland and New York Senator David Hill, and Wheeler was the second nominee of Cleveland's that Hill managed to block; Senator Edward Douglass White was instead confirmed to the Court. By the time another seat on the Court was vacant after the death of Howell E. Jackson in 1895, Hill was weakened politically and Cleveland turned to Rufus Peckham, who was confirmed within six days on December of that year (by a Republican-controlled Senate) and took his oath of office in January 1896. As of 2010, Peckham remains the last Supreme Court Justice nominated by a Democratic President when the Senate had a Republican majority.
Peckham's stint on the Court has been called by many scholars the height of "laissez-faire" constitutionalism, during which the Court regularly struck down efforts to regulate labor standards and relations. Peckham's most notorious opinion was in Lochner v. New York (1905), in which the Court invalidated a limitation on bakers' working hours to sixty per week as being contrary to the individual right to freely contract, and as being unnecessary to protect health or safety. This contrasts with his seminal administrative law opinion, North American Cold Storage Co. v. Chicago (1908), where he upheld a Chicago ordinance that permitted inspectors to summarily destroy unsafe food without first granting a hearing to the property owner.
Beyond Lochner, Peckham is perhaps best known for his expansive interpretation of the Sherman antitrust law, which he saw as protecting sturdy small businessmen against unfair corporate competition. His opinions on civil rights for African Americans are remarkable only for the abandonment of his usual antistatism in voting to uphold Jim Crow laws - the most notable being Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), in which he silently joined the majority. On the other hand, he and Justice David Brewer were far more likely than any of their colleagues to vote in favor of Chinese litigants in the many immigration cases that came before the Court.
Peckham served on the Court until his death on October 24, 1909, at age 70, writing 303 opinions and dissenting only nine times. He was buried in Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, New York, later to be joined by his wife, Harriette Maria Arnold (December 13, 1839 - July 25, 1917). They both outlived both of their sons: Henry Arnold (August 6, 1868 – February 16, 1907) and Rufus Wheeler Jr. (January 28, 1870 – September 16, 1899).

Phi Theta Kappa Sponsors Voter Registration Tables on Campus
Washington State Community College's Alpha Rho Gamma chapter of Phi Theta Kappa – a two-year college academic honor society – is sponsoring voter registration tables on campus and encouraging fellow students to register to vote for the upcoming election.
Student volunteers from Phi Theta Kappa are staffing the tables, located on the second floor of the Arts & Sciences Building and the Commons in the Main Building. "Peggy Byers from the Washington County Board of Elections was with us on Monday and showed us how to do the registrations and answer any questions," says Judy Bonnette, a Washington State Community College (WSCC) student and chapter president of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK).
The registration tables will run from September 18 – 20 and September 24 – 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those who register before October 9th are able to vote in the upcoming November election.
"This is a Presidential election year and we want to try and register students, encourage them to vote, and become good citizens of the United States," explains Brad Merritt, WSCC business professor and PTK faculty advisor. "This provides a service to the community and the concept of service is very important to Phi Theta Kappa and especially our Alpha Rho Gamma chapter, as community service is one of our hallmarks."

How can I improve my detailing?
Little update from my detailing weekend after reading for weeks. Overall, I would rate it a 6/10 experience. I used the Porter Cable 7424XP buffer for the first time and caused no damage, which was my biggest fear being new to detailing. However, I was not able to remove all of the cobweb swirls and a few of the scratches from the paint. I have read through detailedimage, this forum and many other sites, but I am hoping for some specific suggestions how to improve my technique on the Jeep.
Here is what I did: Since I was outside, I started early to avoid any direct sunlight on the Jeep. Did a full hand wash, with the two bucket method and the chemical guys citrus wash. Followed it up by using a 200grit clay bar with a diluted Optimum No Rinse as the lubricant. Went heavy with the lubricant, and wiped off all residue with a clean microfiber towel. Followed it up with a full quick detail using the ONR to remove any settled dust before polishing.
Started with the polish, Menzerna 4500, using a orange pad from detailedimage (not Lake Country). Worked in about 20"x20" areas with light pressure about enough to compress the pad about 25%, making sure to cover with overlapping patterns vertically, and then horizontally. After the polish hazed/became dusty, I wiped off excess polish and moved to the next section.
The whole jeep took about 2 hours for one coat of polish. I only used a yellow pad over the area where I had the scratches. The area feels smoother, but the scratches are still visible from multiple angles, and does not seem to be deeper than the clear coat.
I then went on to sealant using the Black Fire Wet Diamond and blue pads. I applied no pressure and moved a bit quicker taking 1.5 hrs to apply the sealant. It got dark at this point, so I called it a night and let it cure overnight. The next day, I did another quick detail with the diluted ONR, and put on a second coat of sealant.
I ran out of time to apply the wax.
Here are my questions:
1. How much pressure should I apply if I am trying to remove a scratch?
2. Should I have used Meguiars Ultimate Compound or the scratch x 2.0? I have both at home.
3. I am looking to buy some more pads if that might help, what colors should I buy? I was planning to buy the LC hydro tech ones but not sure which colors to buy.
4. Any mistakes or errors or points for correction?
Essentially, I am just hoping you might see what I did wrong that I didn't remove the cobwebbing and some of the minor scratches that I thought this buffer would remove. Thanks so much!
I prefer the meguiers m105 and m205. Maybe try the wool pad next time with the 105 to get the imperfections out
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
Me three!! The black fire is a good choice for sealant..
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
Ok thanks guys! I was worried about using the 105 because it has more cutting power and I'm new to using the PC. Any recommendations as far as pads to buy with the 105/205 so I can make another bulk purchase?
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
1 Attachment(s)
Here is what I use with the meguiars 105/205 combo:
Yellow pad - Heavy cut (deeper scratches) with 105
Orange pad - Light cut with 105
White pad - 205
I have the cars in pretty good shape, so that now I only break out the
105 for any newly found scratches/imperfections on our cars, using either
the orange or yellow pad - starting with the orange first to see if handles
the problem.
My routine is to touch up scratches (after the citrus wash and claybar)
and then polish the entire car with 205. The pix is our 2008 car that I just
detailed last weekend (sorry not the jeep - that was detailed earlier in the
My suggestion is to read DI and other people's experiences (ex, ratings
on products on DI/Amazon etc) and then find what what works for you.
There are plenty of great products out there, but you have to be in
the ballpark. Happy detailing - it's an addiction!
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
Your 2008 looks great! I am so disappointed that I discover orange peel on my paint only after trying to make it better. I never noticed until I read DI and then detailed it.
Thanks for all the suggestions. If I have already applied sealant, can I do touch up scratch repair with m105? What prep do I need to do to prep the area with the scratch other than clean it/clay bar it?
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
My advice would be to not swing for the fences when a base hit will do. In other words, try 205 first before you jump right to 105.
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
You are on the right track for sure. With a random, you ALMOST can cause any damage, it doesn't get hot enough. That being said, you wouldn't want to take a new car and use compound, so it comes down to using the right product. I always start lighter(but I've been doing it a while, so I have a good idea what to start with) and go heavier. I mainly use orange pads for everything unless it's severe, then go back to orange, then blue or black for finishing, then crimson for final. Look at where you are buying them from, some of the colors don't correlate to "cut" for all pads, meaning LC orange or yellow may not be the same as someone elses. I've seen atleast 2 different types of orange, yellow, pink, green and they were all different "cuts". There isn't an exact science because every paint/clearcoat is different(some soft, some hard). Taking time and going vertical/horizontal like you did will help the correction you want the first time. Maybe a little long on the blackfire application, you can go pretty quick with it as it won't stain trim so you don't have to be as careful, it takes me about 20 minutes to cover the bulk of the car, then I go back and hand to all the little spots, by then it's ready to remove pending temperature/humidity.
If you've already applied sealant and need to fix a spot, I just go right to polishing, then IPA wipe the area and re-apply your sealant. I've found with BFWD, I much prefer no topping it(even with the BF Midnight Sun), and just used the BF Poly Spray to top it up if beading drops off(our previous BMW loved this combo, made it super easy to maintain). Practice and trial and error, i.e. Buckeye is right, don't swing too big to start, pick a spot, and work it until you get your desired results, then do the whole car. Like anything, it takes time. You are waaay ahead of most people, you are taking the time to put some effort into the way it looks, most run it through a car wash, or go to the dealer for the "free car washes for life" and call it good. I can't see dropping 40-60k on a vehicle and not keeping it up. FYI, when you dry the car, try and sheet(take nozzle off and run the water over the jeep top down) as much water off as possible(after you admire your nice little beads), and spritz your drying towel with some detailer/spray sealer/etc before touching the paint, that will help over time with the light little spider webs, and let your towel sort of glide across the paint vs "rubbing". You'll be fine man, good luck.
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
Thanks! And great advice from BuckeyeSRT and Joenjulie to start light
and move heavier. How bad are the scratches? Over how much of the
jeep are we talking about?
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
WOW! Thanks for the great assessment BuckeyeSRT and Joenjulie! I have been very impressed with all the things that I have learned from this forum and from detailedimage. Just a two months ago, I thought I was doing everything right by avoiding car washes and the dealer washes like they were the plague. Instead I was doing everything by hand with microfiber, and even this had major room for improvement, ie waffleweave towels, grit guards, PC7424 buffers, etc; and all stuff I own now!
Mdest723, I tried taking photos, but my camera just was not doing a good job capturing the scratches. Overall, you really can't see a single scratch unless you are in the right light at the right angle. I have the spiderwebs on the hood, no where else are they noticeable to the point of being bothersome. I have about 5 or 6 scratches about 3 inches long and a couple millimeters deep on the front bumper and near the gas tank lid, from a tree branch scrape. The other minor ones I am trying to remove are near the door handles and tailgate from my watch band or keys making incidental contact with the paint. These ones are about the same depth of the spiderwebs on the hood, but clearly a different mechanism based on the scratch's orientation.
Has anyone tried the Meguiar's Correction Compound? The reviews seem to say it works almost as well as the m105/m205, but in just one step. I saw the thread on here from a couple years ago, so wondering why this hasn't replaced the m105/m205 combo.
Thanks again for all the great info!!
Re: How can I improve my detailing?
If the scratches have not reached the paint, and are only in the clear coat,
then some combination of product and pad should be able to handle it.
It is just a matter of finding that combo!
As for scratches around the door handle where the PC buffer cannot get at,
I used the orange pad side of German Polish 'N Wax Applicator (from a mega applicator kit that I had bought on ebay) for a similar problem and it did a pretty
good job with 105 applied by hand. Happy detailing!

Be the Peacemaker
Last Christmas I got into a horrible argument with my older brother about politics which led to random other topics like parenting decisions. Judgments were tossed around so easily and the moment was awkward and we didn't speak for months after that. Christmas was ruined.
I eventually thought, "What am I doing? What's the purpose? Why am I so angry over stupid things?" Life is too short to spend it so angry at someone. I thought I was being so big and strong by holding my ground but in the end, it drove me crazy thinking about it, so what good is that? I decided to call him and apologize for what was said on my end. It was uncomfortable at first but we decided to agree to disagree on some things and make amends.
This year I'm really looking forward to family gatherings. There isn't any tension there, the kids love to play together and I'm hoping for some good old belly laughs like there used to be among our family. My brother and I email, text and call each other on a regular basis now, especially looking forward to Christmas. I'm so thankful I swallowed my pride and made that call. Life is so much better without bitterness. God bless! Denise
What wonderful thoughts shared by Denise. If there is someone you're warring with or begrudging or judging, I hope you'll consider her words because wasting time holding a grudge with someone you love isn't worth it. You'll only put more lines on your face that way! So make the call and be the peacemaker – at least try. There has never been a better time than right now.

How much would you pay for 1999 VW Golf with 75,000 kilometres on the clock and a five-speed manual transmission?
The Drive valuation is around $6000, but that didn't stop an eager buyer paying more than $US250,000 for the same model in 2005.
This is for a stock standard Golf remember. What made it so special was that it was once owned by a certain Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now better known as Pope Benedict XVI. So it's a sort of a pre-Popemobile.
It seems the whiff of celebrity means big dollars, especially when it comes to cars. How else can you explain somebody paying $2.5 million for a 1977 Peugeot 504 with vinyl upholstery, just last year?
If the Pug hadn't been owned by the popular Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the old clanger would be worth about $2000. Actually, you'd expect change from that much money. And a free set of mats thrown in. Thankfully the cash went towards a charity for low-income housing.
With prices like this being achieved, one can hardly blame some celebrity car vendors for overestimating their worth. Such as the bloke who is still trying to flog a well-worn 1967 Corvette reputedly belonging to the late NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong - the first man to stand on the moon. The Chevy was passed in at auction this year for the astronomical sum of $US250,000.
Ditto, a 2005 Chrysler 300C that once belonged to US President Barack Obama was offered on eBay for $1 million. Not surprisingly, it failed to sell. No doubt the eco-sensitive Obama supporters were put off by the rather thirsty 5.6 litre Hemi V8 beneath the bonnet. Or maybe they just realised they could pick up a non-presidential version for around $18,000 and use the change to buy fuel.
Professor Adrian North, head of Psychology at Curtin University, is an expert when it comes to celebrity worship. He says people who would spend vast sums on an object such as a car because of its association with somebody famous have a case of "intense personal celebrity worship".
"This is where you feel you have a very, very strong connection to a given individual," North says. "It's a more extreme version of going to a rock concert and buying the band T-shirt. The car becomes the physical manifestation of your relationship with that celebrity."
Which might go a way to explaining why a 33-year-old pearlescent blue Porsche 911 turbo once owned by uber-geek Bill Gates sold for $80,000 at auction, about $30,000 above market value.
Or why one of the three Porsche 928's Tom Cruise drove in the 1983 film Risky Business pulled more than $40,000 when it hit the floor at a Los Angeles auction house last month. This is the car that didn't roll into Lake Michigan, but was used in the famous chase scene. It's rumoured that Cruise learnt to drive a manual in the actual car being auctioned. The Porsche was originally a shade of green when it left the factory, but was painted gold for the film. It has 102,000 miles (165,000 kilometres ) on the clock. The same unloved model, without the L Ron Hubbard tapes in the cassette deck, can be had for as little as $10,000.
Similarly, Elton John's star power helped a 1965 Jaguar E-Type he once owned go for $130,000 in March. The red, 4.2 litre phalic symbol had been sold by the rocket man in 200l, along with a collection of 20 exotic sports cars. And while a model in pristine condition might fetch a similar amount, Elton's hadn't been restored since way back in 1979, so the price paid can only be explained by the vehicle's celebrity provenance. "The provenance and value that is added to a car simply because of who might have owned it is quite extraordinary," says Paul Mathers, event director of RACV Motorclassica, a three day event held in Melbourne for classic, vintage and veteran enthusiasts.
"At the Monterey auctions [in California] last August a Porsche 911S with a market value of around $140,000 sold for $1.4 million, because it was driven by Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans."
One of Motorclassica's main events is the classic car auction. This year's will feature a drop-dead gorgeous 1969 Lamborghini Miura S up for grabs. The Lambo, possibly the most beautiful car ever made, is finished in a custom paint job of lime green with orange and white stripes. But this car's real drawcard is that British supermodel, Lesley "Twiggy" Lawson, used to sit behind the wheel.
"We expect Twiggy's car to get a fair bit of international interest," Mathers says. "We're estimating a price of around $1 million, to $1.3 million.
Also up for auction on October 28 will be the 1935 Bentley 3.5 litre that once belonged to Australian former governor-general Lord Casey. A 1907 Fiat Brevetti landaulet driven by American Grand Prix champion Phil Hill will also go under the hammer.

Meat Subscription Box Brings Farm Fresh Cuts To Your Table
New service promotes independent, family-run farms and conscious consumerism.
AgLocal started out as a marketplace for farmers and Michelin star chefs from around the world to link up and 'meet the meat' digitally. The company's latest venture is moving into the wider consumer market with subscription delivery boxes of pasture raised meats from family farms.
Members can browse through a selection of specially-sourced meatsin two different price tiers measured by pound. While their prices may seem expensive at first, the service includes more than a simple box of meat. The meats come in nicely designed boxes that are themed, for example a "Family Style" box (cuts for the home kitchen), "Grill Master" (for BBQ'ing), "Fit and Lean," (lean and grass fed cuts), and the "Farmer's Pick" (offals and unusual cuts).
The boxes also include recipes and further details about where the meat is sourced from such as how ethically the animals have been bred and raised and also fun facts about the farms themselves.
The San Francisco-based company was founded by Naithan Jones in 2011 with the purpose of promoting ethical meat sourcing. He has worked to create a positive and thoughtful process highlighting the need to support local enterprises and encourage the consumer to be more aware when it comes to food purchases.
As Jones aptly puts it, "What we want to build is community around this, so when I subscribe to the service, I'm not just getting meat. This isn't Omaha Steaks…I'm connected to the farm, I feel like I'm a part of the community."
Jones is now planning to expand into California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona. Subscriptions will be available to the general public as of May 19th.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
It has long been known that birds collide with man-made structures (buildings, communication towers and power lines), particularly during migration seasons and severe weather. Some estimates suggest that between 700 million and 1 billion birds are killed annually by these collisions. Research has been carried out in a number of cities throughout the nation to assess the extent of bird collisions with buildings in urban areas, and to discover possible ways to decrease the impact of these structures.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division is currently researching this issue in Atlanta with Lee Sexton, a graduate student from the University of Glamorgan (United Kingdom). This is the first study of its scale conducted in Atlanta. Lee is working with eight volunteers and is monitoring more than 40 buildings in Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead and along the Chattahoochee River. The study will continue through early October 2005.
If you would like to participate in this study, or notice areas that tend to be a problem for bird collisions in your area, please contact Tim Keyes at (478) 994-1438 or firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

text: Happened across one yesterday and bought it. It had been carried alot, but doesn't look to have been shot much. I'm enjoying it so far. Anything special I need to know about it? Can they stand regular shooting? May sound like a stupid question but I had an older gun guy tell me it wasn't made to be shot alot. From 21 feet, I can put 9 out of 12 shots in a 12x12 spot with one miss and two flyers that hit close to the same area. Maybe a tight cylinder throat?

A new Police Standards Authority was promised by Labour today in the wake of the scandals over Hillsborough, the death of news vendor Ian Tomlinson and phone hacking.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which was set up by Labour eight years ago, had failed to get to the truth quickly enough in each case.
Ms Cooper also pledged new laws on financial crimes such as interest-rate rigging and said that private security firms would be prevented from taking over front–line police duties following the G4S fiasco at the Olympics.
Criticising the IPCC's record, she told delegates: "It took too long to get a new hacking investigation under way. It took too long for the truth to come out about what happened to Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protest.
"And it took far, far, far too long for the truth to come out about the tragedy and senior police cover-up at Hillsborough. We need to make sure no one ever, ever again has to fight for the truth for 23 years after losing a loved one or child. The Independent Police Complaints Commission wasn't able to sort out any of those cases."
Ms Cooper said police wanted a more rigorous system of checks and the IPCC chairwoman Anne Owers had warned about "its lack of powers".
She told the Manchester conference: "We need reform. After discussion with [former Met chief] Lord Stevens, I believe we need a new, stronger Police Standards Authority — replacing the IPCC — to raise standards, pursue powerful investigations and ensure there are proper safeguards in place." Turning to scandals in the City, she said a Labour government would bring in an Economic Crime Act to prevent fraudsters avoiding prosecution.
"Look at the Libor scandal that emerged this summer," she said. "It is a multi-billion-pound fraud. People were fiddling figures to get rich, while small businesses paid the price.
"Yet no one has been arrested. The experts say it can't even be treated as a crime offence. The police and the SFO [Serious Fraud Office] don't even seem to know where to start." Ms Cooper took up Ed Miliband's One Nation theme by declaring Labour the real heirs of the father of modern policing, Robert Peel: "Tory ministers want huge swathes of policing handed over to private companies. Have they learned nothing from the Olympics?"
The Conservatives hit back on Libor, saying: "Labour had 13 years to stop this manipulation that occurred on their watch — but failed to do so."
'Take on more Whitehall apprentices'
Lord Adonis today attacked the Government for not creating enough apprenticeships in Whitehall.
The former transport secretary, who is co-ordinating Labour's industrial strategy, revealed that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has only one apprentice under the age of 21, and warned that the private sector will not be encouraged to create much-needed apprenticeships if government does not set an example.
"We want to see that... the budget, which at the moment goes to quangos, is instead given to employers in order to create more apprenticeships, and that the Government takes the lead," he said. The state is "very poor" at creating apprenticeships, he added. "If the Government doesn't give a lead, how can it expect the private sector to follow?"
BIS said 16 apprentices started work in the department in the last year and that 46 others have worked for related agencies including the Met Office.

How often will you cook rice? With the wide price range and selection of rice cookers, you need to determine just how serious a rice cook you are. If you only eat white rice occasionally, a simple cooker probably will meet your needs. However, if you consider yourself an aficionado who eats rice daily, you likely will want to consider rice cookers with induction heating or a microprocessor, as well as a variety of rice settings.
Do you want a model that does more than cook rice? Rice cookers don't take up a lot of room. If you have an especially small kitchen, though, you might want to consider a multi-purpose cooker that also serves as a steamer and slow cooker. Pressurized rice cookers don't release steam, so they can be used in almost any room of the house.
How many people will be eating rice? Figure about a cup of uncooked rice per person. You won't need a rice cooker with a 10-cup capacity if you're only feeding two people; a 3-cup model (the smallest available) would probably be just fine. Consider stepping up to a 5- to 6-cup rice cooker for a family of 4 to 6, and an 8- to 10-cup cooker for a bigger crowd. Remember: Rice measuring cups are not the same size as standard U.S. cups -- they are about three-fourths the size.

|North Route
Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2016
|Nice hike from the Doughnut Falls TH. Hiked with RDB. Beautiful fall day with unsettled weather, sunlight breaking through dark clouds, and golden aspen leaves. There are two mine shafts along the route that are open, although I wouldn't recommend going in, especially into the higher one that is basically a hole that goes straight down into the rock. Took a little longer than we expected for such a short route, maybe because it is very steep in places.

|Nice short, steep hike. I've been here 22 times. I've taken the north route all but twice. In the summer there is always a ton of people headed to donut falls but I almost never run into anyone on the trail to Kessler. Great views of the Cottonwood Ridge.
9/1/15 Via Montreal Hill and south ridge.
12/01/08 Lots of snow. Personal worst time of 3:25 to the summit.
09/30/08 Finally found geocache near summit. (After owner moved it to an easier location and told me exactly where it was.)
08/19/08 Personal best time of 1:08 to the summit.
08/12/08, 07/24/08
10/01/07 Another unsuccessful search for summit geocache.
09/25/07 Unsuccessful search for summit geocache.
08/04/07 Hiked up Argenta trail with Joyce and down north route. Found 2 of MOCKBA's geocaches.
04/27/07, 11/10/05, 07/01/04, 06/26/04, 06/20/04, 06/15/04, 05/20/04, 06/30/03, 09/19/02, 08/10/02, 07/11/00, 10/02/99, around 1990.

|We went up the north route. There is now a cairn there since my friend made one. Anyway, the trail was steep and it got snowy in the shade. Higher up the soft snow made the going slippery, but it was warmer than average up there. On top it felt to be 55 degrees F.
There were great views to the south, and I was happy to see plenty of snow up on Hidden Peak and at Snowbird.

|Round trip
Date Climbed: Oct 25, 2014
|Weather was looking good Saturday and not having work meant it was the perfect day to hike. Began this hike at 12:30 pm. hiked up the road to cardiff fork and about a mile past Donut Falls. Luckily we ran into the people that own the land up there and they guided us but we still managed to get lost and went off-trail. I could see the ridge, so we decided to create our own path to the ridge. Saw a moose in the forest. The bushes and the loose rock near the ridge are really annoying, so we decided to head straight up the West Face of Kesslers (very steep scramble). Then, it was transversing over the first bump, another bump and what a surprise, one more bump!! The scramble wasn't difficult but we had to do a lot of route finding. Then I could finally see the true summit and this is where it got tricky. We hit a wall and I've only down two scrambles my whole life (Mt. Olympus and Frary Peak). This nearly 50 foot wall with exposure was really scary and my friend managed to get enough confidence in me to climb it (it's way easier than it looks) but it's steep! There's a lot of nice places to find your footing and once over that, the rest of the scramble is easy (but be careful, you have to go under a bunch of trees, don't try going over the trees). We made it to the summit by 4:00, stayed up until 4:30 (other than the two owners of the land, there was no one else in sight). It got way gusty, so we decided to run down the north side and to my surprise, there was a trail there! Took a quick detour to Donut Falls on the way down and made it to the car by 6:00. Great hike!!! Would definitely do it again in the summer. Outstanding views!! The scramble is way fun!

|Climbed up from the Doughnut Falls area and up to Carbonate Pass. No trail up to the pass. Very annoying. Views from the top were great! Scrambling was tricky if you stay directly on the ridge. Probably class 4.

9/15/2012 I have been meaning to climb this peak for some time. I climbed it from the North Route, and it certainly lived up to the hype. There were endless amounts of people at the trailhead and on the road that was heading to Doughnut Falls but once I got to the trail heading up Kessler I didn't see another person.

Neufeld and de Jong to contest federal Conservative nomination for SOWK riding
Two Conservatives will vie for the right to represent their party in the next federal election when their riding association holds nomination votes later this month.
Marshall Neufeld from Penticton and Rick de Jong from West Kelowna both filed nomination papers before the June 26 deadline and have been accepted as contestants for the nomination in the new federal riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay (SOWK).
Voting takes place at meetings throughout the riding from July 24 to July 29.
Locations have not yet been confirmed, but the final meeting will be in Penticton, said Al Wait, Conservative nomination committee chair.
Two other potential candidates had intended to run, but decided to withdraw.
Stephen Hill, from Rossland, was the Conservative candidate in the 2011 federal election and he campaigned and ran advertisements this spring. He withdrew because the nomination dates conflicted with plans to move his family and open a new office for his business.
Jason Cox, from Penticton, said in June that he would seek the nomination, but the following week he had second thoughts just before the nomination deadline.
Cox, who is a director in the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and runs several businesses, said he realized he had too many other commitments. He may run in a future election.
The new electoral district of SOWK extends from Penticton to Trail and includes Osoyoos and Oliver.
It roughly overlaps with the current riding of B.C. Southern Interior, which is represented by MP Alex Atamanenko of the NDP.
Atamanenko has announced he is retiring after the current term in office expires.
The new riding loses strong NDP communities in the Kootenays such as Nelson while adding the Conservative stronghold of Penticton.
Neufeld said he is grateful that when Hill and Cox stepped down, they gave him their support.
"I very much appreciate the confidence they've shown me through that," he said.
His rival, de Jong, however, expressed disappointment that there are not more contestants seeking the nomination.
"I'm actually somewhat disappointed that Stephen Hill pulled out of the race," said de Jong. "I understand his personal pressures and that was the right decision for him, so I'm respectful of his decision, but disappointed. I think the more people in the race, the more vibrant the race is going to be and that helps the party."
Both contestants said they've been busy reaching out to current party members as well as selling new memberships.
The cutoff for new members who can vote for the candidate was last week.
Asked how he would differentiate himself as a candidate, Neufeld noted that he has been involved with the Conservatives for more than a decade and has been active at the federal level.
"I've served our community and South Okanagan in many different capacities," said Neufeld. "I'm proud to live in the riding and I look forward to continuing to live here in the future."
Neufeld, 32, was born and raised in Penticton. He currently works as a real estate agent.
From 2006 to 2008 he worked in Ottawa as a parliamentary assistant to former MP Stockwell Day.
He has also served on the National Council of the Conservative Party of Canada. He is single.
De Jong said that at age 45, he has more life experience to bring to the job.
"I've been married for over 20 years with two young adult children," he said. "I've been working in the riding for the last 22 plus years, so I'm familiar with the whole riding.
"In my volunteer experience, I'm a Rotarian and I've been involved chairing Central Okanagan youth soccer, serving as a member of the board of variance and area planning committee, agricultural advisory committee and now as an elected official for the District of West Kelowna, serving as a councillor."
Although de Jong currently lives outside of SOWK, he said he would be prepared to move into the riding.
"Depending on the outcome of the entire process, I would certainly be prepared to find residence within the riding at the appropriate time," said de Jong. "I think it's important that as an elected official, as a local MP, that the MP lives within the riding."
He added that he would begin looking for a home in the riding if successful in the nomination and would find a home at least by the time he becomes MP, if elected.
De Jong said he would also step down from his position as a West Kelowna councillor before going into a federal election.
"It's going to be a tough federal election and whoever the candidate is needs to be 100 per cent focused with his or her time and energy," said de Jong.
He has also been an active board member in Day's riding association, he said.
Under federal legislation, the next election is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015. However, under certain circumstances an earlier election can be called.
Both candidates said they have no basis to believe current media speculation that Prime Minister Stephen Harper might call an earlier election.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE CWe polled 70% ,consistently, for decades to Reform Expensive Health Care as is done by all other industrialized nations. Had Hillary a Democratic Congress in 1995 We would be talking Hilcare not Obamacare.We are not giving the AHC a fair chance to work. It is not Health Care it is Powerfare.The Tea Party was and is financed by Koch to cut taxes, cut spending, do less policing of the environment.Give it a chance. Stop charging $500 for a $32 hand held Breathalyzer, $600 for $10 worth of cloth gauze, $6000 for a night in a bed hooked to a blood pressure monitor, $4400 for 5 hours on a sleep monitor.Those are personal examples that show why we spend 20% of our Individual Income on Health CareAnd rank 37th in World Health Forum for effectiveness.Where do we get out health insurance? 78% via employer, Medicare, and Medicaid. 48% via employer—15% by Medicare and 15% by Medicaid.
Give AHC a Fair Chance. It will not be fully operational for another year.
