Ron Paul: "Obama's Syria Policy Looks A Lot Like Bush's Iraq Policy"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 22:09President Obama announced late last week that the US intelligence community had just determined that the Syrian government had used poison gas on a small scale, killing some 100 people in a civil conflict that has claimed an estimated 100,000 lives. Because of this use of gas, the president claimed, Syria had crossed his "red line" and the US must begin to arm the rebels fighting to overthrow the Syrian government. The process was identical to the massive deception campaign that led us into the Iraq war. That is exactly what the Obama Administration is doing with Syria: fixing the intelligence and facts around the already determined policy. And Congress just goes along, just as they did the last time. The president has opened a can of worms that will destroy his presidency and possibly destroy this country. Another multi-billion dollar war has begun.

Guest Post: Testing Krugman's Debt Reduction Strategy (And Finding It Fails)
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 21:38Nike recently published a series of ads declaring "winning takes care of everything," in reference to Tiger Woods' recapture of the world #1 golfer ranking. The slogan went over with certain critics like an illegal ball drop. Many economists insist that "economic growth takes care of everything," and the related debate is no less contentious than the Nike ad kerfuffle. Listening to some pundits, you would think there's one group that appreciates economic growth while everyone else wants to see the economy crumble. It seems to me, though, that growth is just like winning – there's no such thing as an anti-winning camp, nor is there an anti-growth camp. More fairly, much of the growth debate boils down to those who think mostly about long-run sustainable growth and those who advocate damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead growth. I'll break off one piece of this and consider: How much of everything does growth take care of?

The Whistleblower's Guide To Secretly Tipping Off The Press In A "Turnkey Totalitarian" State
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 21:07When over four years ago we put together our "How To [Read/Tip Off] Zero Hedge Without Attracting The Interest Of [Human Resources/The Treasury/Black Helicopters]" Guide", many thought we were being paranoid. We weren't, as last week's revelations by Edward Snowden demonstrated to the entire world. And yet, besides those from the intelligence community, few realized just how deep the reach of the Turnkey Totalitarian Tyranny ("TTT" or the Orwellian Banana Republic) truly goes. So as the Snowden enthusiasm spreads and more and more insiders with intimate knowledge of the broken system step up to expose the unconstitutional actions and illegal deeds that occur each and every day in the dark corner of US society well on its route to inevitable dissolution (ref USSR and WB Yeats), the question arises: how to do it - How to leak information to the press and other distribution agents without tipping off the very espionage agency at the nexus of it all? Luckily while information may be intercepted at every electronic turn, it still is largely free (at least until the advent of the Internet kill switch). So for all you wannabe Snowdens out there, here from Wired's Nicholas Weaver, is the perfectly timed "The Whistleblower's Guide to the Orwellian Galaxy: How to Leak to the Press", which should answer all the 30,000 foot-level questions...

David Stockman's Non-Recovery Part 1: Post-2009 Faux Prosperity
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 20:12Few others are better equipped to comprehend both the insider's and outsider's perspective on what the government, the Fed, and the banks are doing in this so-called 'recovery' we are experiencing than David Stockman. Nowhere does he detail this better than Chapter 31 of his new book 'The Great Deformation'. In this first part (of a four-part series), he explains just what happened after the US economy liquidated excess inventory and labor and hit its natural bottom in June 2009. Embarking upon a halting but wholly unnatural "recovery," doing nothing but igniting yet another round of rampant speculation in the risk asset classes. The precarious foundation of the Bernanke Bubble is starkly evident in the internal composition of the jobs numbers.

US Treasury Denies It Is Trying To Torpedo Bitcoin
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 19:37In remarks given late last week to the curiously named United States Institute for Peace, the head of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) vociferously denied any attempts at regulating digital currency... specifically Bitcoin. But that doesn't mean they can't spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Bitcoin, being completely decentralized, is nearly impossible to regulate. And the government at least seems to understand this point. Which is why the director so emphatically denies attempting to regulate the digital currency. But in this short 4-page speech, the Director twice made a connection between Bitcoin and (you guessed it) terrorism. Twice more connected Bitcoin to those who would exploit children. And four times linked digital currency to 'criminals' in general. It's certainly enough to scare most people away.

Goldman's End Of Day Recap, Or Crossing Into The Twilight Rabbit Hole Zone
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 19:02"The power of the press (and the nouveau press)! Following a very solid open, stocks maintain their early gains until FT Harding hits the tape with an article suggesting a signal from Bernanke this Wednesday that the taper was drawing near – in contrast to the more dovish Hilsenrath last week. Stocks drop nearly a percent. Then via Twitter Harding casts doubt on his own predictions and more than half of those losses are reversed. The price action just reinforces how important the FOMC Wednesday will be."

JPMorgan: "Fed Stimulus Inflated Prices Of Financial Assets.... Removal Could Create Tail Event"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 18:23"Recent bouts of positive correlation between equities, bonds and commodities suggest that the Fed's stimulus inflated prices of financial assets, and removal of the stimulus could create a tail event in which prices of most of assets could go down. To reduce this risk, investors could diversify 'safe haven' assets away from treasuries and into other assets that are at lower risk in case of tapering. For instance, investors could increase allocations to equity index put options.... we think that the quick increase of net margin debt, and high ratio of margin debt to S&P 500 do point to an increased probability of a market correction and volatility increase in the second half of the year." - JPMorgan

For First Time Majority Finds President Untrustworthy: Obama Approval Plunges Among Young Americans
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 17:49Whatever the deteriorating economy could not achieve (courtesy of Ben Bernanke's relentless bubble blowing and pumping of the S&P 500-driven "wealth effect" distraction) for the past four years, one NSA whistleblower succeeded in a few short days, when earlier today, CNN - hardly a media known for its criticism of the administration - released a new poll according to which not only did Obama's approval rating drop by 8% in the past month, "one of the sharpest, fastest plunges in his presidency" to 45% from 53% (the first time the majority had a negative opinion of the president), not only did the majority find Obama to not be honest and trustworthy for the first time ever in his presidency, but Obama's support with one of his core constituencies - young Americans under 30 - imploded, plunging by 17 points. CNN adds: "That's particularly discouraging heading into 2014 because Democrats have felt they have a lock on the youth vote after the 2012 elections. "The drop in Obama's support is fueled by a dramatic 17-point decline over the past month among people under 30, who, along with black Americans, had been the most loyal part of the Obama coalition," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said."

The Taliban Open Political Office In Qatar
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 17:25In an apparent effort to "facilitate peace talks," Al Jazeera reports that the Taliban - the armed Islamic fundamentalist group - will open a political office Doha, Qatar tomorrow.
Until earlier this year, Afghan President Karzai was strongly opposed to the Taliban having a meeting venue outside Afghanistan, but the US has pushed for the Taliban to be present at the negotiating table as Washington prepares to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in the next two years. This opening comes on the heels of accusations (here and as we discussed here) that Qatar (and Saudi Arabia) is reviving al-Qaeda in Iraq and now Syria.

When The "Worked So Far" Meme No Longer Works
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 16:53We have discussed the idea of a VaR shock (driven by Abe/Kuroda's loss of control) a number of times recently but as Saxo's Steen Jakobsen fears, reality is about to hit as the marginal cost of capital normalizes. The world, so far, has been kept in artificial equilibrium by the way quantitative easing (QE) and fiscal policies bring support and endless liquidity to the 20 percent of the economy that mostly comprises large and already profitable companies and banks with good credit and good political access. The premise for supporting these companies is based on the non-existent wealth effect which unfairly culminates in supporting the haves to the detriment of the have-nots. However, as Jakobsen notes below, things are rapidly changing; the recent increase in yields has happened despite no real improvement in the underlying data. The the next few days are potential major game changers – the bloated VaRs will make people hedge and over hedge, and the normalization process of rising risk premiums and higher real rates (higher yield plus lower inflation) will lead to more selling off of those trades that have "worked so far"... and increase volatility in their own right.

Volatility Gets A Harding On Taper Chatter
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 16:19Equity markets were very much in a land of their own relative to broad risk asset classes all day until the FT's Harding "mo' Taper" memo hit and slammed reality back into the herding masses. Still convinced that the Fed will 'only' taper if the data confirms it, we suspect the broad market is missing the signals from broken markets and frothy levels that mean the Fed will use the modest improvements as a crutch upon which to jawbone tapering into our minds. Today's price action was - in the words of the great Bob Pisani, "just silly." A ramp out of the gate following Japan's lead which followed a Hilsenrath-inspired ramp-job from Friday combined with a beat for NAHB (and Empire Fed) sent all the high-beta into overdrive (builders +2.2%) - but nothing else was really moving (FX was relatively flat, bonds went sideways, commodities wriggled in a small range). The Harding hit and we gave back all the post-Hilsenrath gains, 330-ramped to VWAP and held it magically into the close (though the USD ended at its lows of the day, bond yields at their highs, and credit markets at their lows).

Bonds Versus Stocks - Just Ask Japan
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 16:03The impact of substantially higher interest rates are not good for the economy or the financial markets going forward. In the short term consumers, and the financial markets, can withstand small incremental shifts higher in interest rates. There is clear evidence historically to suggest the same. However, sustained higher, and rising, interest rates are another matter entirely. Before we get too excited, it is important to keep in perspective the recent "surge" in interest rates that has gotten the market's attention as of late. In reality, this is nothing more than a bounce in a very sustained downtrend. While there is not a tremendous amount of downside left for interest rates to go currently - it also doesn't mean that they are going to substantially rise anytime soon. Weak economic growth, an aging demographic, rising governmental debt burdens and continued deflationary pressures can keep interest rates suppressed for a very long time. Just ask Japan.

What The Fed Is Looking At
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 15:10A sense among investors that the global economy is unraveling has injected tremendous volatility into the markets. As Bloomberg's Rich Yamarone notes, if the global equity market decline is not a "Sell in May" event, but the beginning of a great unwinding, then the economy, skating on thin ice, may be even more susceptible to recession. However, most of the US equity disconnect from the reality of weak data (and other markets) can be laid at the feet of the Fed's ever-generous monetary policy. However, given all of this 'weakness' - or missing of Fed benchmarks that we discuss below - that the Fed is well aware of, we ask again, why would so many members have been out discussing 'Taper' if it were not due to their concerns of broken markets and bubble conditions.

Guest Post: Gold Is Being Supplied By Western Governments
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/17/2013 - 14:49There has been considerable throughput of gold in western capital markets, with substantial buying from all round the world following the April price crash. The supply can only have come from two sources: the general public, or one or more governments. It really is that simple. Two months later the gold price has only partially recovered, so physical supplies have continued to be made available. Physical demand cannot have been entirely satisfied by ETF liquidations, confirming governments are involved. This article looks at the dynamics of the gold market around this event and the implications.

I'd like to participate for the first time this year. My name is Will La Russo. I'm 17 years old, and my home ballpark is Citi Field. Last year was my first year as a ballhawk. I snagged 24 balls in 11 games. I've snagged 26 total balls.
Hi everybody! As you may remember from last season, my name is Zachary Weiss and I am a 19-year-old from Pittsburgh. Last season was my first as a ballhawk and it took me a little while to figure everything and my September from last season saved my total as I snagged 64 baseballs last season. I hope to double my output this season and thus snag 128 baseballs. I look forward to the competition and good luck to everyone!

My 2nd year in the ballhawk league. I snagged 23 balls in 6 games last year, and have snagged 33 career balls. My highlight was catching an Alex Cora foul ball at AT&T Park, and my career high is 8 balls at Dodger Stadium. Hoping this can be a breakout season, as i will attend around 7 games, and hope to get off on a good note as along as weather cooperates because I'm going to Baltimore during the opening week.
Hi, Erik. I'm back in this year!

It's my third year in the BHL and this season I will look to snag at least 100 baseballs–my numbers may be down a bit due to "grown-up" life but I'll look to increase my average per game and try to finally snag a game home run! Right now I'm at 282 baseballs and I should get to 300 in May…

Want To See Digital Los Done In Ms Word
Posted 09 March 2008 - 12:00 AM
I am starting a new job in May, and I think the office computer does not have PS and the company also has strict policies on installing software. So, I am trying to learn how to use MSWord (I am familiar with it as wordprocessing tool) to see if I can digiscrap with it.
I bought Ro's MS Word Secrets software awhile ago but only just started viewing it. At first, I was disappointed with it, as it mostly seemed to show how to work with text effects. I was hoping it would show how to do a layout from start to finish. However, after viewing one of the topics in this forum, I found out that other techniques were subtly shown as well. I then went to view the tutorial again, which confirmed it. But I am still not convinced that LO's can be done successfully with MS Word, ie..it seems to complement traditional sb.
What I would like to know is if there is anywhere that I can go to to view digital LO's done, as the tutorial did not show a single completed LO? A lady in this forum said that she has been very successful at using MS Word but could not view her work as her blog had been moved.
Hope you can help!

I would just want to let you know that going from scrapping with PS to Word will probably be very difficult and frustrating, as it would seem to be a very big step down in the software capabilities. That being said, I understand that you don't have a lot of options with your work computer, as they are strict about software installation. But I'm just trying to think of any other option you may have, because it does seem like Word will be tough to use.
Sorry, I wish I could be of more help! Hopefully someone will be along that has used Word and will refute my words, LOL!

Yeah, what a bummer . My home PC went kaput. If I can't make MSWord work, I'll have to save really hard to buy new one plus PSE or PSP. Will decide once I've totally explored MS Word's capabilities.
Thanks for responding!

As it was developed originally by students, they didn't get the website that matches the product name. The web site is GETPaint.net. By the way, their online help is very good.

The vast majority of people who find digital scrapbooking to be important in their lives move from programs like MS Word, and anything by Broderbund like The Print Shop or Scrapbook Designer and shift to some version of Adobe Photoshop.
Now there will always be folks who prefer Paint Shop Pro and others who do master MS Word or even Powerpoint, but the truth is that the Photo editing skills offered by Adobe Products far exceeds lower end software. That and the shadowing and brushes and so many other tools: and so the tools we design here at Scrap Girls like ScrapSimple styles, custom shapes, dynamic brushes, actions: all work best or only in Photoshop. Why? Because the majority of digital scrapbookers use Photoshop, so that's why Scrap Girls concentrates on these products.
I used to freelance for Broderbund software and for 7 years I used their products to showcase different ways to design everything from greeting cards, to crafts, to corporate collateral. The last product I worked on was a scrapbooking software they put out with Creating Keepsakes. And that's how I started. But the quality and the shadowing and the ultimate ease of use offered by Adobe Photoshop made me switch.
I understand where you are coming from and I know that if you desire to make an existing software product work for you, it's doable. Keep us posted as you figure out the best way to make this exciting world of digital scrapbooking work out best for you.
Posted 04 August 2009 - 11:12 AM
Secrets for Word was developed in 2004. During that time, people were mainly interested in text effects and that is why the program is centered on them. Digital scrapbooking was so new back then that most people were very suspicious of the whole idea. To survive, we had to focus a lot of our time teaching paper scrapbookers how to use our products as printables. The Word program went along with that. Over time, we were able to discontinue that focus and turn completely to digital scrapbooking and things that go with it (digital crafting, etc.).
Adding images in Word and layering them into digital scrapbooks is very difficult. I spent a some time in the training teaching how to insert images and adding layers on top but I didn't do a much. While you can digital scrapbook in Word, it is very hard to do!
This is why most of my Secrets programs use other software programs.
I obsoleted the Secrets for Word product quite a while ago because...
1. It was developed with an older version of Word, which Microsoft obsoletee.
2. It's not a great way to create layouts.
3. People are not as interested in using Word to create text effects as they are in 2004. They are losing their fear of graphics programs such as Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro. Because they have them, they create text effects in those software packages, if they still want them for paper layouts.
2. It is far more effective to use software such as Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro to create digital scrapbooking layout. Most digital scrapbookers use Photoshop Elements because it is a less expensive than Photoshop. You can get more products that go with Photoshop Elements and (sorry PSP users), this is why I recommend it over PSP.
I would highly recommend that you purchase and learn Photoshop Elements for your digital scrapbooking. Once you get going on it, you'll be glad that you did! You'll have a blast!
Hope that helps!

When it comes to securing a mortgage, the difference between good and bad credit could mean tens of thousands of dollars. Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.
Quick: Think of your Social Security number. Got it? What about your weight? Okay, now how about your credit score? Drawing a blank? You're not alone.
"I don't think most women know what their credit score is and it's really important that you know what your credit score is because as much as we might like to live on cash when it comes to buying a car or buying a house it's not possible for us to spend purely cash on those things. We need to take out loans," says Dailyworth.com Founder and CEO Amanda Steinberg.
Steinberg describes her site as an online community of women talking about money. She says when it comes to getting a mortgage, a difference of a hundred points in your credit score, could mean tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. So let's assume two different women need a mortgage of $200,000. Up first, Susie.
"So Susie has a 740 credit score, that's really the threshold for the top interest rates that you can get today," explains Steinberg.
With such a high score, Susie would probably qualify for a 30-year mortgage at 3.9 percent, putting her monthly payment at around $953. Compare that to her friend, Jane, who is offered a 30-year fixed at 4.75 percent.
"She has a 640 point credit score which is still respectable but she's going to end up paying about $1,043 per month," says Steinberg.
That difference of roughly a hundred dollars a month may not sound like much, but over three decades, it certainly adds up.
"You're looking at a difference between $340,000 and $375,000 paid. That's a pretty substantial difference," says Steinberg.
If you're looking to get a loan in the near future, there are steps you can take to make sure you put your best foot forward. One, know your credit score. Second, if it's excellent, keep it that way. If it's not, work to improve it.
Steinberg says two of the simplest strategies are pay your bills on time and watch what you spend, even if you pay your credit card in full every month.
"Because they are looking at the amount you spent last month regardless of how much you are paying off to determine your credit score, so make sure you're not spending 90 percent of your available credit every month. Spend about 20 percent," says Steinberg.

Welcome to Metamorphosis Monday, hosted by
Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
Please make sure you stop by this weekly blog event to see all the wonderful "Before and After" pics.
I will start by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed the Holidays in more ways than one. Aside from the fact that my beautiful family was all together this year, and - besides the fact that I went on a wild Christmas decorating binge *smile* - I have had some spare time to blog and welcome you into my home, and share some of my projects with you.
That said - today was the "official" last day of my extended vacation period. Tomorrow ...it is back to work in full force. Back to reality. So...my blogging may be sporadic...again! sigh!
I just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely visits and comments I have received over the past few weeks. It means a lot to me.
This week, I am sharing my Guest Bathroom Makeover.
This past year, we had travertine marble installed. Love it!
A coordinating tile surrounds the edge of the bathroom.
Previously, it was painted "Wet Concrete" by Ben Moore. I really am not a "purple" person per say, but to me this is one of the prettiest Ben Moore colors available. (but what a horrid name! )
I found the large silver mirror at Ross 5 yrs ago when we first moved into this house. I could not face another contractor-grade "slab-o-mirror" again. Because there were a few small nicks in the frame of this mirror, I was able to purchase this beauty for about $50. I knew no matter what the color scheme was, I wanted to keep silver, and this mirror, in the design profile.
Technically, there wasn't anything really wrong with the bathroom. It wasn't exactly a major eyesore.
Mr. Grits said it was a project that could wait, because there were other more pressing issues. (like his deck maybe? ) "rolling eyes here*
No matter, I started planning and working on some of the ideas that were running through my head...
I created a few mini mock-ups with fabrics and colors....
But alas, Mr Grits said "nit!" He jokingly said...
"If you can re-do this bathroom for $100 or less, you can do it."
Silly, silly man.....
"Ninny, ninny, poo poo -
I will show you what I can do!"
Now before I show you the "After"...I will say this project was a testament to the power of bartering.
Me and my handyman struck up a little deal. I would manage his property free for 3 months, if he supplied the labor and I supplied the materials. Done!
The "After"....
Chocolate Brown with Crisp White Wainscoting
The magic of moulding....
Love the "beefy" chair rail....
Chocolate Paint $27
White Paint (already had)
Mouldings $48
This was one of my fave projects....with 3 yards of clearance rack fabric ($12) and a roll of ribbon ($3)...I created this "No-Sew" window treatment in about 5 minutes.
You can't really see the true color, but its a gorgeous grey-sage embroidered silk. Yum!
With the basics of the room in place, it was time to accessorize....
"Home Shopping: 101"
I had a white over-the-toilet shelf which I really never liked. So, we cut off the bottom part and my hubby added hardware on the back to allow it to hang. So much better!
Small touches "borrowed" from here and there throughout my home. The little silver bird was a recent $4 purchase at Ross.
(wish I had bought more, I can see a sweet little tablescape themed around this little guy.)
I removed two prints from these frames above, then painted them white. I rubbed the edges to give them a slight aged effect. The bird prints with burlap mats were taken out of other frames. I bought two $4 sage green mats. I love the burlap mats and was glad I was able to use them.
You know how I love to add "bling" with scrapbooking stick-on gems and jewels. I dug through my box and decided on these...
A single sage-colored jewel fancies up a candle...
More stick-on gems decorate a plain white shade....
A vintage silver tray holds a white porcelain sugar and creamer with silver trim for cotton balls and q-tips, and a glass soap dish.
...even the mini gems look great when used on the border of the shade.
Silk hydrangea blooms fill a crystal, Waterford pitcher.
Brown and white transferware plates ...
A silver, petit four stand holds seashells collected on a family vacation to Sanibel Island.
A view looking into the mirror....
A small $1 Michael's silver frame and a hand-written message...
Total expenditure.... $102
(shhhh....Mr Grits does not need to know I was $2 over budget) *wink*
I hope you enjoyed seeing my "$100" guest bathroom makeover. I am sure some accessories will change along the way, as I see the perfect little "this" and the ideal little "that" which better suits this space...but for now...I am very pleased with the outcome.
Please make sure you visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for more "Before and After" projects on Met Monday.
I am also joining Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday,
as well as, Thrifty Decor Chic and
and Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal for her Silver Sunday Blog Party.
Have a Great Week, Dear Friends....
Blessings, Barb

Chick-fil-A: The Gay Debate
Today is one of those days I'm sickened by how Jurassic many Americans views are of homosexuality. How can people be so pathetically closed-minded that they feel the need to go chomp on a mass produced deep-fried chicken wing to express their distaste towards same sex marriage?
The Olympic village's condom consumption may be the ultimate collision of sex and health, but Chick-fil-A is running a close second. Ever since the fast food chain shook its conservative tail feather, and denounced gay marriage, a nation's chicken dipper allegiances have been put to the test.Things started getting hairy at Chick-fil-A when CEO Dan Cathy publically announced his support for the "biblical definition of marriage," ABCnews reports. Wednesday saw record breaking sales figures at the chain, after Mark Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, created a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on Facebook. Liberals are countering today with National Same Sex Kiss Day, encouraging same-sex couples to go to restaurants, make out, and take photos.
Wendy's posted Chick-fil-A support signs at restaurants in North and South Carolina, which is just another reason why I would never eat at that shit hole. Wendy's ended up taking down the signs and releasing a, "Oh, actually we like to serve a diverse customer," statement. Maybe their P.R. team realized that gay people like Baconators too.
What's your take on fast food weighing in on the "biblical definition" of marriage? Should Chick-fil-A stick to frying pretty average chicken and keep their beaks shut, or does free speech reign?

Customer Reviews for Energy Efficient Large Windows Gray / Black New Additions Top Down/Bottom Up
"Very pleased with these blinds!!"
By K
I found this website after coming to the realization that blinds, shades, and even curtains are startlingly expensive, but that I desperately needed something for my west-facing window in my art studio. The sun shining in in the evening was so intense, I could barely even use the room at those times. I did look at some plain, boring blinds on other sites that were a tad cheaper, but it's such a huge window that I wanted a shade that would be aesthetically pleasing as well as doing its job. This is it!! The blinds fit perfectly in the window and filter the light ideally -- the sun is no longer screaming at me, but still illuminates the room. (I couldn't really be sitting here writing this review without them!) These are easy to raise up and down despite the low-tech control option I picked. The design on them is really fun -- so glad I chose these instead of plain boring white ones! Overall I am very pleased with my purchase from this site and I will definitely look to them for future window treatments.

The rep. helped me each step along the way, from making the selection to measuring, to handling the order for me. Third, this is the BEST company to deal with. Period. They could not have made the experience more care-free and simple. Thank you so very much!

Were you both equally gung-ho when you started and went through the process?
My DH was convinced about 3 yrs before I was that adoption was the path we should take. I kept stubbornly thinking that we would be able to conceive our own if only we would do one more test or one more medication. I know some DH's are not as into adoption and I believe that is a normal feeling across the board, but it took me longer than him to get there. I hope that if adoption is what you have decided, that your DH is on board or gets on board ASAP. Good luck!
Britney (me), DH (Mat), DD (Lily), DD (Gwyn)
No. He wants a kid at least some of the time (idea of a kid scares him). Enough that we started trying over 5 years ago and he was more than willing to do testing. He wants the kid to be either both ours biologically or neither ours biologically. he is more than fine with the idea of adoption....not as into the idea of open adoption. But really he's gone along with things to make me happy....this is not something that he would be doing on his own or wanting to do if I didn't.
On the other hand, he was willing enough to use 5 PTO days for the classes and go through the whole home study process....and pay for it (and he's tight with money). I did tell him that I would give the idea of he didn't want to and we went back and forth for a while. But we are doing it.
I am pretty sure that he wouldn't handle foster. Both my cousins were adopted from foster care and it was HARD watching my aunts worry for two years that this baby they loved would be taken away from them. Turned out well but not something Dh is willing to do....he would draw the line there.
Yes, 200%! He's not into open adoption if we were to have an infant which I'm mostly ok with now.
Adoption was always the plan but so far just isn't meant to be.
After our last rodeo he's not into actively pursuing adoption but we'll do short term foster care in the future, when these kids are in school.
Nate told me when we were talking about getting married that we were going to adopt at one point in time (after we were done having bio kids). When we learned that having children biologically without doing IVF, no conversation was needed on what the next step would be. I was into getting things done more than he was, but when it came down to it and the education part of the process, he was way into it!

SOURCE Made in America Road Shows
Help strengthen our economy ... Buy American!
HIGHLAND, Mich., March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rick and Lisa Detkowski are not only fulfilling their own American Dream but are helping others to showcase their own American Dreams.
The Detkowski's of Highland, MI are lifelong self-made entrepreneurs who wanted to help make America strong, so they created the Made in America Road Shows.
While supporting their other two businesses, Rick's Huron Valley Rustics which uses Michigan cedar and rustic wood to create indoor and outdoor furniture and Lisa's, Plum Door Tea Co. (that specializes in premium USA blended loose leaf teas) - the two frequent trade shows around the country. "As we traveled exhibiting our businesses, we noticed a large amount of the products displayed are imported," said Lisa. "We found it very hard to find true American Made companies in any trade. So we decided to start road shows to change that," she added.
The shows will create a sense of patriotism where the consumer can have the opportunity to buy American and help bolster our current economic climate. More jobs will be created as a result since 65% of new jobs are created by small business.
Michigan based companies and our friends in neighboring states whose companies are "Made in America" can still secure a booth in advance of the spring Made in America Road Show coming Friday evening, April 12 thru Sunday, April 14 to Novi's Suburban Collection Showplace.
You'll have the opportunity to shop in a charming atmosphere as we exhibit some of the best products our country has to offer including: ROUTE 66- Vintage Memorabilia, Automotive; AMERICAN GOURMET- Food, Wine, Specialty; THE WIDE OPEN RANGE- Outdoor, Western; AMERICANA- Folk Art, Furniture and Wares and RODEO DRIVE- Fine Arts, Clothing and Crafts.
Special guest will be Cari Cucksey from the popular HGTV's television show, Cash & Cari. Her booth will feature American inspired vintage products and repurposed items.
Veterans and Active Military will be admitted to the Made in America Road Shows for free with I.D. Tickets: Adults-$10, senior citizens 65+ will be admitted for $8, children 12 and under are free. The Made in America Road Shows can be reached by calling 248.714.6281 or visit www.miaroadshows.com.

The meeting will provide the opposition its first opportunity to meet new Secretary of State John Kerry, according to the official. It also will cover streamlining efforts to get aid directly to the group.
The Syrian National Coalition also is not accepting invitations to visit Washington, D.C., and Moscow.
The rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad's government began in earnest in May 2011 as a wave of uprisings spread across the Arab world, including Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Egypt.
The United Nations recently estimated 70,000 people have died in the fighting in Syria.
The opposition Local Coordination Committees in Syria said 213 people were killed Friday, including 92 in Aleppo. It said 307 demonstrations occurred across the country. CNN could not independently verify those numbers.

Domestic consumption rivals that of Italy and France and so it's no surprise that vineyards cover Portugal from the very far north of the country to the tourist mecca of the Algrave in the south. Probably more than any other country Portugal has stuck to its viticultural guns and refused to cede ground to the march of the international grape variety. The many dozens of rather lovely but weird sounding varieties- for example Loureiro, Periquita, Encruzado and Arinto - provide a treasure trove of delight for the dedicated wine lover. One wine produced in Portugal that everyone in the world knows of is, of course, Port from the high Douro valleys. The historic connection between the UK and the Port houses stretches back to the 17th century. In the case of SG's most famous Port producer, Sandeman, trade began in 1790 when young George Sandeman established the business in Oporto. To this day there remains a genuine descendent of the founder, called George of course, in charge of things today.

Man shot, killed by Alexandria police
Tuesday - 2/19/2013, 12:40am  ET
WASHINGTON - A police response to a domestic violence call in Alexandria ended in police shooting an killing a man Monday afternoon.
The incident occurred when Alexandria Police arrived on the domestic violence call at Duke Street near Quaker Lane.
"Our officers responded to a domestic incident. This incident resulted in a fatal police-involved shooting," said Alexandria Police spokesperson Ashley Hildebrandt.
The man who was killed did have a weapon, Hildebrandt says.
Police won't talk about the victim, or the specific circumstances that led to the 911 call. Hildebrandt would not say if the man pulled the weapon on the officers.
But, ABC 7 says the family of the man killed identified him as 30-year-old Taft Sellers, a former Marine sergeant who grew up in Alexandria.
A witness, who was working nearby, told ABC 7 she looked out the window when she heard a commotion.
"The guy was on the step and he had something in his hand, and I was like, 'Is he really going to go up against all those cops,'" the witness said. "And then I heard one shot and the next thing I know they all opened their guns."
No further information is yet available on the case.

At the event, LaPierre praised Reid's work on gun rights.
"I also want to thank you for your support every day at the federal level for the Second Amendment and for the rights of gun owners," LaPierre told the crowd.
During the fierce debate over the health care law, a few health care advocates who spotted the gun provision, entitled "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights," immediately suspected the NRA's involvement.
"It's obviously a testament to the power of the NRA lobby," Ethan Rome, the executive director of Health Care for America Now, said.
Democratic sources say the NRA was not viewed as the only threat to the health care law. Lawmakers were also concerned about conspiracy theories circulating on conservative blogs that falsely accused the Obama administration of seeking to use the health care law to strip gun owners of their firearms.
One firearms advocacy group, Gun Owners of America, insists the law remains a concern.
"It says that all of our medical records are available to be pawed through by bureaucrats somewhere in Washington, looking for a reason to disenfranchise gun owners," the group's president, Larry Pratt, said on a Web radio show last November.

Dear Reader,
Trading stocks is no longer just about taking advantage of rallies and declines in your own country's stock market. Logistically, putting your money to work overseas has never been easier. But to win, you still need that edge we all are looking for.
I'm Tom Denham, Elliott Wave International's intraday European equity analyst. My fascination with financial markets started during my years as a psychotherapist. As I watched the erratic behavior of my clients when stocks crashed in October 1987, I was amazed at the power of the markets to make people abandon common sense.
When I later learned of the Elliott Wave Principle and began to understand that most investors are carried along by broad waves of optimism and fear, my clients' "irrational" behavior during the crash suddenly made sense.
Since 2004, I have been forecasting European stock markets for EWI using wave analysis and a variety of supporting technical studies. I present my forecasts to you clearly, so that whether you buy stocks or ETFs, sell puts or arbitrage divergences, you can devise a trading strategy to exploit the trend.
I also enjoy corresponding with my subscribers. I measure the quality of my service not only by what you learn from me, but by what I learn from you.
Please look below for more details about my service.

About European Stocks Specialty Service
European Stocks Specialty Service was previously one of EWI's most expensive packages reserved primarily for professional traders. But a few years ago, we unpackaged it and made it affordable for individual traders while preserving its professional edge.
How It Works
Europe Stocks Specialty Service gives you instant online access to these resources:
Intraday Forecasts:You get short, "plain-English" forecasts for the markets' direction as often as every hour, with short-term Elliott wave-labeled charts. And you get precise support and resistance points, so you always stay in control of your position risk.
Markets Covered
European Stocks Specialty Service aims to keep you ahead of the action in these markets:
"These services draw from the highest-caliber, most concentrated pool of analytical talent in the world. Anyone who is serious about these markets needs these services."
The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International's market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.

EDMONTON - Community opposition has killed a proposal that would have forced high school students living around Victoria School of the Arts to meet new admission requirements, such as submitting a portfolio to get into the specialized arts program, Edmonton Public Schools announced Friday.
"That's awesome. I'm kind of shocked," said Meredith Porter, secretary with the McCauley community league, who attended a public meeting Wednesday night at Victoria School where parents and community league officials argued against the change.
"From a community league perspective, that's great news. That's what our families, I'm sure, are going to want to hear. It shows a respect for the needs of local families and it's a much better planning decision."
Community league representatives told the Journal this week the proposed requirements for all students to meet admission standards at the K-12 school, at 10210 108th Ave., was unfair to families in some of Edmonton's most distressed communities.
The new rules would have meant students in Victoria School's current attendance area, some of whom live within walking distance of the school, would no longer be automatically accepted there. Most would have to get rides from parents or take the city bus to Eastglen School about five kilometres away in the Bellevue neighbourhood. Others would be designated to Ross Sheppard School or Queen Elizabeth School.
The president of the community league in the Central McDougall neighbourhood, which encompasses Victoria School, called Friday's decision the right choice for communities and students.
"I can see where Vic (school) is coming from, but that doesn't make it necessarily the best thing for the students who are living in the area," said Quinn Wade, who also attended Wednesday's meeting.
Edmonton Public Schools superintendent Edgar Schmidt decided Friday not to approve the proposal after school officials heard largely negative feedback from parents and community members Wednesday night, said Lorne Parker, managing director of planning, property management and student transportation with Edmonton Public Schools.
"There will be no changes," Parker said at a news conference Friday morning. "We heard lots of concern from the parents. One was transportation, for sure, but also they wanted to have a high school in their attendance area and if we had gone forward with this recommendation, that wouldn't have been the case. It wasn't a done deal, so the superintendent listened to the feedback and made the decision this morning and announced that the recommendation would not be approved."
School administrators had requested the change that would have would have removed Victoria School of the Arts as the designated school for 14 neighbourhoods — Alex Taylor, Delton, H.A. Gray, McCauley, McDougall, Norwood, Parkdale, Prince Rupert, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Spruce Grove, Oliver, McKay Avenue and the Municipal Airport Area. Currently, high school students inside those neighbourhoods are automatically accepted as Victoria students. The proposed change would have aligned high school entrance requirements with admissions standards already in place for K-9 students at the school, Parker said.
No students currently enrolled in the school would have been kicked out.
Teachers and administrators at Victoria School had hoped the change would strengthen the arts focus at the school, Parker said.
"It certainly wasn't meant to be exclusive," he said.
"Because Victoria School is such a draw for students interested in the arts from all over the city, there's that challenge, because we have more students wanting to attend the arts program than we can accommodate. That's a challenge for us because we are limited in our capacity, so that issue remains."
About 1,000 students attend Victoria School. There are about 215 Grade 9 students currently enrolled at junior high programs in the school's designated attendance area who could register there next year. About 22 per cent of those students would normally enrol in a typical year, Parker said. That's 47 students. Most choose to attend other high schools, Parker said.
"If this recommendation went forward, they would have to meet the entrance criteria for Victoria School. That would be a portfolio approach where they would look for students who have an interest in the arts, demonstrate an interest in the arts and want to specialize in that area," Parker said.
The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues opposed the change, which appeared to go against recent city and school board efforts to support mature neighbourhoods and schools, said EFCL community planning adviser Bev Zubot. Having a local school in a community gives resident the opportunity to build community connections by doing things closer to home and meeting their neighbours, Zubot said.
"It's definitely good news for mature neighbourhoods in Edmonton as a whole, not just the neighbours around Victoria School, because it reflects a policy to support local students," she said.
"Victoria School is a magnet school. It will and it does attract people to live in that area who want their children to go to that school and it will do a lot to help revitalize that area, so this is very good news."
