Donna Karan Shoots Ad Campaign In Haiti, Gets Called Racist [Rag Trade]
Critics are calling Donna Karan misguided and possibly racist for shooting her new spring ad campaign in Haiti, but using a white model as its star. In two ads, Victoria's Secret supermodel Adriana Lima appears alone, but in the third, pictured above, two Haitian teenagers pose in the background behind her. Unusually for a fashion campaign, the images all bear text identifying the location as Jacmel, Haiti, and directing viewers to the brand's web site, which has a whole section on Haiti. Karan has raised a lot of money for Haiti, both through her own charity and along with the Clinton Foundation, and she frequently uses interviews and public appearances to talk about the country's development needs and earthquake-recovery efforts, even now, after Haiti has sort of ceased to be the "fashionable" cause on all the rich people's lips. She also credits by name the Haitian artist, Philippe Dodard, whose work inspired her spring collection. Nonetheless, the juxtaposition of luxury clothing — Donna Karan sells $2,000 dresses — and the poorest country in the Western hemisphere is troubling, and perhaps undercuts the message Karan thinks she's sending. Karan would have done better to highlight whatever local involvement there was in the production of the shoot. And, sigh, why do the black people always have to be in the background? [Telegraph]
Lily Cole covers the January issue of Russian Vogue. [FGR] Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot Gisele Bündchen and Ryan Barrett for Versace's spring campaign. [WWD] As part of New York's ongoing series of "cinemagraphs" — gifs made not by clipping a TV show, but on purpose, with a camera — by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg features J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons sketching a dress. [The Cut] Here's one image from the new Balenciaga campaign. Steven Meisel shot four new faces — Juliane Grüner, Rosie Tapner and Kirstin Liljegren, and Laura Kampman, pictured — for the ads. [WWD] Michael Kors rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, to celebrate his company's IPO. The stock offering was ten times over-subscribed, so it debuted at $20, just above the $17-19 estimate. In the day's trading, it fluctuated between $23.51 and $25.23 before closing at $24.20. That puts Michael Kors' market capitalization at $3.8 billion. "I'm feeling great," said Kors, who just sold about a third of his own stock holdings, for $117 million. [WWD]Charlize Theron hates your Hello Kitty t-shirt. "I'm pretty amazed by Hello Kitty. I see so many women in their 30s walking around in Hello Kitty shit and nobody is concerned for them," says the actress. She was talking about her preparation for the role of Mavis in Young Adult. "It's the one iconic teenage symbol that seems okay for women in their 30s? The world seems to not have an issue with it." So she "said to the costume director, 'Get me some Hello Kitty T-shirts.' Those were my demands." While the mouthless kitty can be seen as a symbol of female infantilization, it is definitely not the only "iconic teenage symbol" that women in their 30s are encouraged to identify with. Seeing women as girls is sort of a society-wide problem, in fact. [Us]Speaking of women and age, Helen Mirren topped a list of "style icons" for U.K. women over 50. Twiggy came in second, followed by Joanna Lumley, Lulu, and Judi Dench. Victoria Beckham was sixth, and at 37, she was the youngest person to make the top 20. [Daily Mail]Leonardo DiCaprio may have found himself another model to date: Victoria's Secret favorite Erin Heatherington. [Fashionologie]According to the Daily News, over 2500 online retailers are participating in "free shipping day" today, with guaranteed delivery by December 24th. [NYDN]Here is an article about how Kate Middleton's eyebrows are wrong. (Kate Middleton's eyebrows are fine. It's her eyeliner we need to have a word with her about.) [Daily Mail]Despite being four whole months pregnant, Julia Restoin Roitfeld has not turned into some kind of housebound milquetoast on full-time supervised bed rest. She's still going to parties and promoting the lingerie line she just launched with Kiki de Montparnasse. This seems to shock the conservative souls at the Post. [P6]Restoin Roitfeld, for her part, says that she and her mother, Carine Roitfeld, are very different. "We both have a love of fashion," she says. "But besides wearing a lot of black, we dress completely differently." She says she and boyfriend of three years Robert Konjic have no plans to marry. "Having a baby was more on my wish list than getting married." [NYTimes]Today in concern-trolling, Aliana Lohan is now officially "scary skinny" to the tabloids. Also, "frail," "pale," "rail-thin," and guilty of wearing an "ill-fitting romper." [Us]According to this closet diary, even Dita Von Teese's pajamas are exquisite. [NYTimes]French model Julia Frauche, 23, has been working since she was 18. But this September was her first season doing shows in New York. "I have been doing this job for five years and I was like, 'Okay, this is going to be my last chance. I'm going to try the shows and it's going to be the last time for me,'" she says. Then she booked Calvin Klein and Chanel, so, you know, it kinda worked out. [The Cut]And now, a moment with Andrej Pejic, who Tweeted:Its [sic] kind of insane though, the world is at the brink of depression, military conflict and ecological collapse and me in a bra is global news.

What Was Mitt Romney Doing the Morning After Losing the Election? Winning
The morning after the election, as conservatives everywhere were still trying to come to terms with the reality of another four years of President Barack Obama, the now former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was busy being a dad, husband and grandfather. A winner.
In a heartwarming photo tweeted by Garret Jackson, one of Romney's close personal aides, the Republican can be seen unwinding on Wednesday morning, surrounded by his kids and grandchildren near his campaign headquarters in Boston, an exhausting and hard fought presidential campaign now officially behind him. The Romney clan can be seen drinking a gallon of chocolate milk.
"Gov hanging out with family this morning. What an incredible family. So blessed to be so close to them," the accompanying message read.
As it turns out, Tuesday night was a win-win for Romney — and he won big. He will have more time to spend with the people he loves; his wife Ann, his kids, his grandchildren. And while Romney will not become the next president of the United States, it reminds us that there is much more to life than politics. Yes, the battles in Washington, D.C. will undoubtedly rage on, but the picture above proves that the most important things in life can never be taken from us — not by an out-of-control government, not by any one president.
So, what does the future hold for Romney? The former Massachusetts governor plans to make the significant transition out of the public eye for the time being. He plans to "reflect and spend time with his family" before determining exactly what his next move will be, according to an advisor.
"I don't look at post-election to be a time of regrouping. Instead it's a time of forward focus," Romney told reporters aboard his plane Tuesday evening as he returned to Boston after the final campaign stop of his political career. "I have, of course, a family and life important to me, win or lose."
It wasn't immediately clear if Romney will seek an ongoing role in a Republican Party. With a successful career in the private sector, he could secure a position in private business. Those close to Romney also suggest he could purse philanthropic opportunities or even play a role in the Olympics after having led the 2002 Winter Games.
"He's not a guy who's going to stay still, right," said Russ Schriefer, one of Romney's top strategists. "He's not a guy that's just going to hit a beach, play a lot of golf. He'll do something."

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:29pmI blame Bushie2. He created such a stink that America would rather vote for a muslimcommieillegalaliencrackdealerliargaymurderingmulatto than Romney. All for a free phone!

Sorry, I just couldn't help it. : )
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:55amRomney would have been the greatest president since Lincoln. He is brilliant, principled and he knows how to fix things. He would have fixed the American economy.
You people who think that Romney was anything at all like McCain are quite foolish indeed. Romney has had a successful career as a businessman, and he pulled the Olympics out of a dreadful mess which had been caused by corruption among top Olympics management before Romney arrived.
America missed a golden opportunity to elect a man who was eminently qualified in every way to be president. We will never have an opportunity like the one we just blew.
A second Obama term will be even more disastrous than the first one was. What a terrible, terrible shame.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:49amWinning like Charlie sheen?
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:35am@JANUARY
True. Romney is an exceptional man. The media will go to the pit for what they have done. They relentlessly vilified a good and incredibly competent man, and exalted an evil, stupid and incompetent radical. The media are nothing but a bunch of putrid, disgusting human beings. If there is justice this side of eternity, someday, one by one, they will stand before a firing squad. -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:38amHOWERTON says, "[T]he most important things in life can never be taken from us — not by an out-of-control government, not by any one president.
You have no clue what a communist govt. is capable of. -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 3:04amThis is what happens when you let in millions of immigrants from 3rd world countries. People who like the idea of freebies paid for by someone else. You have blacks that voted strictly based on race, but the "chosen people" controlled Marxist Media won't call them out on it. This is the beginning of the end for this country. We reap what we sow. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. You want a radical Marxist as your president, well now you got him. Let's let in even more 3rd world immigrants!
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 3:35amAmerica blew it. A good man that could done so much for this country. Now we are going to see a very different kind of American, one I don't like much & wanted so much for kids & grandchildren. Very sad indeed.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 4:13amGo back to Bain we all know you never left. And never darken The White House's door again.
This election shows that Conservative style of government is not wanted in this country.
You guys made this moderate guy run as a conservative. Made him select a conservative running mate. And America said NO. Just except that America isn't the White only Americana of the 1950′s It is a Big huge melting pot as the founding fathers wanted. Freedom of Religion, freedom of choice, and freedom to choose how to live your life and vote your ideals and America's Ideals today aren't yours.
But whats great about this country and makes it the greatest in the world is you get to change it every 2 and 4 years. Better luck next time. Try not being so hard core and open your minds to all choices not just yours.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:14amClowns like Realindependent know they won't need to get a job for the next four years. Good thing, because things like jobs will be pretty scarce in the coming years. God Bless America, even the Useful Idiots and morons.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:18amI don't think you cn compare Romney to McCain. We had a great candidate who conducted himself well. It's that our country now has a majority who don't want to earnthings on their own and feel entitled. Barrack Obama is the guy they think will redistribute the wealth to them. Read fresh political commentary at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 7:54amThe utter stupidity of the trolls on here make me sick to my stomach. Romney was our last chance given to us by God to restore our Republic. Now, with the Obama reelection, the dark portal has opened completely and we are headed for a rapid downfall. I hope you ignorant trolls laugh all the way down. The core of our nation has changed to selfishness, lust, crudeness and lies. I am ashamed of America.
God bless Romney for his years of unselfish service to an ungrateful nations.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 7:54amHe's a better man than those mocking him and he would have been a fine POTUS. It wasn't God's plan for the country. Which doesn't bode well for God's future plans for the U.S., prepare yourselves.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:01amGonzo – yes, we had better prepare and pray harder for strength to endure what is coming.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:43amNH, the chaff and the wheat are about to be seperated.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:48amexrpub, George Washington himself could not get elected with the people of the US today. Why do you come this site anyway?
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:49am@JANUARY24
The greatest Prez since Lincoln? Was that a joke? You can argue over if he would have done a good job or better than BO, but it's absurd to say he would have been great.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:53amHEADLINE: Who Cares? did not read the story because i do not care. how did we get it so wrong? we lost seats in the congress, the senate and failed to get the potus. the country has reached the tipping poin more takers less makers and it's going to increase over the next four years.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:05amI am also VERY happy that Mitt Romney will have all of this time to spend with his family. He is probably relieved to not have to pander to the tea party any more!
Spirit 72
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:30amNope… he was Dole III
What we failed to communicate was that this was not a campaign about which divided ethnicity will get what they want or which "class of people" will get what they want, but instead
Who can best fix what we have gotten into?
Who can get all Americans working again?
Who can get us back on track to be the country with the fewest on welfare and highest standard of living for all Americans?We know where this country is headed and where it will end up… now we need to focus on how to get it back on track and who can best communicate that
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:32amDid anyone watch MSNBC coverage of Mitt's concession speech? The consensus was wow, where was this guy during the campaign,that was excellent! I almost jumped through my TV. Only after there guard was down, race was won, could they see who Mitt really is! The media is the biggest reason why Obama is anything. What a shame! we have lost
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:53amRush had it right,when he said.
"In a nation of children, no one beats Santa Claus".Clint said,
"If somebody's not doing his job, you've gotta' let him go"-
in a world full of takers & schemers,
in a country of gimee' whatcha' got
and then, gimee' some mo'-
the ones who DON'T want a job
perpetuate the ONE who isn't doing his job.When the right,
whether it be the citizen or Donald Trump
mentions "revolution",
the bleedia-schmedia goes ballistic-
they NEVER have a problem when the dirtbags on the left,
shout it from the sky,
while defecating on police cars,
while trespassing & destroying public property,
while stealing "Romney" campaign signs & shoving them into their Union trucks.Everything they do is smarmy, no matter how small or big.
I can guarantee you,
no one on the right sunk so low,
to drive around in their small business vehicle
or family van, confiscating "Obama" signs.Just as, the Revolutionary War started with a tax revolt-
it is not out of the question to suspect another
or to EVEN question the nature of one-
whether it comes from the lips of American citizens or Trump.Who realized the left owned the rights to the word, "revolution" ?
Brave Americans died to give that right to all countrymen,
not just the left.
I seriously doubt the left could pass a pop quiz on the Revolutionary War,
leave alone American history-
NONE of those Facts are includes in "Rules for Radicals". -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:58am@January24, I agree.. even though I didn't like him initially, it was probably because I didn't know him. Once I watched GB's special on Mitt and did more research myself I knew he and Ryan would do the job needed to get America working again and back on track.
I do blame Bush and the RINO's, when we had control, we didn't dismantle what was put in place, a big mistake. I was in the middle of "building my career" and wasn't as involved as I have been the past few years.. although I was aware.. and informed.. (always have been)..
Anyway I am moving to Galt's Gulch.. which right now is Texas.. I am in PA and i am making plans to leave come March 2013.. I have had enough of the people here.. PA is no longer a swing state.. It is a blue state.. Anyway.. We have to go somewhere which is still like the old America I knew and grew up with and then run for office to keep it that way. Those are my plans..
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 10:21amOK… here is what needs to be said about Romney. Sorry, the truth sucks. The fact is. Romney lost because he refused to call out Obama as the traitor and America-hater that he is. It is that simple. Mccain(the gutless spiness puke that he is) was harder on'THAT ONE" then Romney. Respect Mccain's military career, but as a politician, he is weak. Romney should have said he would have eliminated everyone of Obama's executive orders, called Obama a traitor, and stated that he would dissolve the Fed.
We can complain all we want now. The fact of the matter is…. Uness there is a military takeover of Washington or a revolution by solid Americans……. WE ARE FINISHED. That's it. Sorry. The wake up call was made a long time ago. Unless we decide to take back our country, we may as well hids in a corner somewhere and wait for the SOBs to come and drag us off to Bill Ayers Re-education centers. Think that's funny??? If you do do, you do not understand history. Good luck. God is passing judgement on us right now. 54,000,000 abortions here is in the same paying field as hitler and Stalin……. thjink we are still a God-fearing nation? Wait until the gays have to defend us. Tough to respectful of a military guy who like to make out with a congressman like Leonard Lance or Frank Pallone. Go ahead… please tell me where I am wrong? -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 10:50amI echo many on this thread to state that I believe Romney would have been a GREAT president – probably one of the best in a long time.
This country just missed its best chance at recovery.
Eternal Lucy
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 11:20amI agree with those who saw Romney as a fine candidate and who say he could possibly have been the finest president we would've had in a long, long time. Just read his _No Apology_ to realize he's the real deal, no RINO. He's a good, good man, a compassionate human being who loves his country and has solid (though not always popular) conservative principles. Yet he is not the social extremist he was painted to be. Furthermore, he is actually a real heavyweight intellect, though he did not seem able to put that across – perhaps that was one of his main failings. That and the media/obama machine who really maimed his character is what's responsible for his loss. Glad he's at peace enjoying his family, but hope and pray to God he's back in full swing some day!
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 11:26amI can't believe how easy it was for the GOP to trick all you so-called christians into voting for a high elder in the ultra secretive cult that is the LDS. Imagine how many souls would have been lost to this evil cult had Romney won. A real christian would NEVER vote for a member of one of these cults. NEVER.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 11:42amI hear statements like, "It's weird that turnout was so low….that Romney lost by such a wide margin….that McCain did better than Romney." The problem with those statements is that they're not true. Romney won this election….literally. One day, when the truth is made known, we'll see that this election was won by Romney. Obama was not elected, he was selected. Obama had no momentum, most people thought we were on the wrong track, Independents broke for Romney. Remember the lines to vote? Remember Chick-Fil-A? Do you think the election results were real? Do you think Romney "got a fair shot"? The voice of the people was not heard, and this nation's cup of iniquity runneth over.
Eternal Lucy
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 11:57amI absolutely agree LETUSREASON. There's a cognitive disconnect going on here. Romney had every reason to win. Throughout my state (Ohio) the signs were clear. And Obama was already in the dumpster on his side. It makes NO logical sense. Brings to mind another moment of cognitive disconnect: the outcome of the courtroom drama that dominated 1994. Where everyone knows darn well what the real truth is … yet it matters not.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:01pmI will die with a gun in one hand and a bible in the other.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:13pm@SANREMO1959
lol – sorry to scare you, but we were one of the fastest growing religions in the world even before Romney was around. :)
Don't worry, our "evil cult" plan to take over the world and force everyone to have lots of kids and eat Utah Jello never involved Romney…
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:25pmIt is time for all to understand, The United States of America is no longer a Republic. It is a Kingdom. We have a King. There will no longer be any voting of the little people to decide who and how the government will conduct business. As far as a budget, the government, KING, obama, owns ALL the money that is produced and generated in the country. The KING alone will decide how it is to be distributed to and among the little people.
The Sooner you little people realize this the better you will be. If you hang on to that silly Republic democracy idea, the killings in the streets will begin. -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:06pmDon't miss the point…we aren't (or should not) be defined by this election or politics. Mitt is surrounded by a loving family. He was as much of a gentleman in defeat as he would have been a president in victory. Please do not fall prey to deceit. Even on the Blaze–which I do enjoy–it is all marketing.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:21pmPatriot, Christians SHOULD be frightened of the LDS. And they certainly should never ever ever vote for a brainwashed cultist who gets his marching orders from who knows where. I'm just saying that real christians ought to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to giving validity to the sort of Johnny come lately usurper cults like LDS. Have you ever looked into where Smith got his idea for mormonism? He worked in a publishing house and stole a genlteman's science fiction story and turned it into a reigion. Just google "mormon, Spalding."
Big Tuna
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:49pmSANREMO1959, "REAL" Christians know better than to think as you do. You have no idea what you're talking about and promote lies. Shame on you.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:01pmkryptonite – I would not expect it on this side of eternity, but eternity's justice will never be robbed. True and eternal justice will prevail.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:06pmMitt Romney was busy being a dad, husband and grandfather. A winner….. This makes him no more of a winner than millions of other dads, husbands and grandfathers. He lost because he lied and lied repeated. He lost because he had no honor. He lost because he played fast and loose with the truth. This is why he lost independent votes like mine. I voted for Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. Romney lied about Welfare to Work, Medicare benefit cuts and Jeep jobs to China. And when confronted regarding the lies he continued them, his campaign stated they would not run a campaign based on fact checkers and his wife when asked about his lies stated he believes very strongly in certain things. Unfortunately believing something strongly doesn't make it right or the truth. But it does say something about you as the individual who LOST.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:17pmWHY DID 3 MILLION REPUBLICANS STAY HOME?
Patrick Buchanan wrote that 67 percent of voters are white and if the GOP ignores trying to get Hispanic and Black voters they can win elections. The GOP did not offer me a white male anything other than what they offered blacks and tans. I wanted …
1. Real estate tax exemption
2 Energy tax relief
3. Internet privacy
4. Abolishment of TSA
5. I wanted my Bill of Rights Restored
6. Election of Supreme Court JudgesNothing was offered. Romney was not a Conservative and the GOP Elites (McCain, Bohnier, Gramm, McConnel, Bush) sabotaged GOP candidates because they wanted Obama to win to make room for Jeb Bush (McCain III) in 2016.
There will not be an election in 2016 because in 2014 Democrats will get a super Senate and repeal term limits.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:22pmrealindependent – You have an arguement if you consider that we now live in a degenerate society.
Should a man accept that his politicians are bold face liars? NO!
Should a God fearing man distance himself from God to attract the godless? NO!
Should a man driven by nature pervert those thoughts so that he can condone homosexual practices? NO!
Should a fiscally responsible man give in to the enticings of the fiscally irresponsible? NO!America is following the path of all great civilizations before it. To conform will only speed up America's destruction. Corruption, irresponsibility and godlessness ruled this election. It will only get worse in the future.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:37pmYour words of wisdom never cease to amaze me master Yoda. :)
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:51pmBigTuna, have you looked into what LDS is based on. Smith was a charlatan. LDS is a crass money making scheme. Worse than that, it lures folks away to spiritual doom. Wake up and stop voting for the enemies of Christ simply because they have an R after their name. Unless of course you are an LDS or the sort of armchair christian who knows nothing of the faith or how to properly defend it from defilers.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 3:26pmAnyone notice how Obama walks ahead of his wife and girls, like he's superior like the Arab men do…
I didn't care if Romney wasn't conservative enough, he treated his wife with respect… -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 3:44pmI would remind the Romney detractors here that Ronald Reagan was not the Ronald Reagan we came to know when he was elected in 1980. He was painted as an ex-Democrat RINO flip flopper who was a former governor of a mostly liberal state and who compromised way too much. Sound familiar?
Presidents grow into the office and how they grow is determined by their personality. We watched Reagan become Reagan as events unfolded. We watched Bush, for all his faults, man up on 9-11. We have watched Obama shirk responsibility, show indifference to suffering, and lie with ease. Whatver is there gets magnified by the office.
Romney was not my first choice. But I believe the presidency would have brought out Romney's strengths. I also believe he is exactly what we needed for this country at this time. But we'll never get to see it. Our loss.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:08pmMost of the people commenting on this thread will be standing in a gov't food line in the near future. Others could quite possibly be indefinitely detained through the powers afforded by the NDAA and CISPA. Both of these unconstitutional laws were supported by Mitt Romney, voted in FAVOR of by Paul Ryan, and finally signed into law by Obama. Mitt Romney is a flip-flopping progressive who supports the indefinite detention of American citizens.
If you are a Romney supporter; and are in favor of detaining American citizens WITHOUT warrants or a court order, you're a bigger problem for America than the corrupt politicians who currently RULE over us. -

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:42pmShame on supposed "independents" (I am one) who are so damn wishy washy that they don't have, nor can they recognize core values in another and claim to vote for the "best candidate", therefore they will vote for a socialist one election then a conservative the next. Shame on the libertarians (I am one) who voted for some non viable "purist" and helped Obama win. Shame on the evangelicals (I am one) who refused to vote based on Romneys religeon and therefore helped Obama win.
Refusing to vote is to vote. Voting for non viable candidates does not send a message you intend. It sends the message that you want the socialist to win. Pretending that the socialist is EVER the best candidate is foolish and dangerous.
Posted on November 9, 2012 at 3:23amNo republican will ever DO again. The demographic shift which they have foolishly supported has destroyed them as a national party. They will still be able to hold sway in a few predominately white states–for a while at least. But even those states are highly dependent of federal funds for roads and partly funded federal mandates, so even Republican leaders in those states will have to dance to Washington's tune until mass third world immigration pushes them out of power too.

"HOWERTON says, "[T]he most important things in life can never be taken from us — not by an out-of-control government, not by any one president.
You have no clue what a communist govt. is capable of. "It seems YOU have no clue what a communist government is. There has never been a true communist government. The examples people like to point to as communist like the former USSR and China are not communist governments. They are socialist dictatorships. The people have no real say in what is done. The people don't own anything. The government owns everything and hands down orders to the people and those who do not obey are dealt with severely. The only problem with communism is the fact that it is incompatible with human nature. We are individuals each with our own strengths and weaknesses. Each with different drives. Communism requires everyone to be the same. everyone to put the good of the group above themselves. This is why every attempt at forming a government based on communism has always collapsed into dictatorships.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:58pmSo, with all the electronic voting machines that were clearly registering incorrectly, how do we know that a fix is not in? The electronic revolution has done two things. It has made access to information incredibly easy to our benefit and made access to information incredibly easy to our detriment. When it's all digital, with a keystroke you can change it – ALL – to just what you want. And where were the electronic voting machines? Key counties in all states? I don't know, but if you can think of it, it has probably already happened.
I hate what I am seeing. If there wasn't a fix, then this country is filled with people who can't think beyond what they are going to "get" out of a candidate.
Hope that trophy for showing up feeds your family.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:05pmalways blaming something other than your own party leaders. I was at my poll the entire day and i was surprised Romney did as well as he did in my precinct
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:02amQuite possible the fix was in … Do some research on SKYTL. Previously Florida based company that counted the electronic votes, recently bought out by a devout Spaniard socialist that was a former CEO of a Soros owned company. The guy also donated the max amount to Barry's re-election campaign. Anyone care to tell me why a foreign based company has access to election results before the American public??

Here's your answer in electoral votes.
Ron Paul/Johnson-48
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:11am@THINKforYOURSELFER, Blaze fact checked that rumor and claimed it was false. I don't really know if that's true or not. I know I don't have a lot of faith in the voting machines at all, but don't care at this point. There was plenty of video evidence and testimonials about the primaries, that if it did happen it was just karma. The establishment is just going to keep putting up two candidates that really don't reflect Americans' interest though. I know I haven't seen anything about how well GJ has done. I imagine if anyone got the shaft it was him reaching that 5%.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:46amRight on Silversmith you suspecting a fix …
Just look at the extent they went to conceal/seal obama's records … had to be the same extent they have undertaken to assure his fabricated reelection.
As to the second comment, sadly more and more people do not know how to think on their own, they do not teach that skill anymore in schools, they tell them what to think; so they turn into lacking common sense, useless parasites.
Sad indeed!

I was thinking the same thing about voter fraud. Obama and his Chi-town commies are the ends justify the means crowd and should not be trusted at any level. Voters have no way of knowing how their vote was ultimately counted.
Voting laws should require and provide a method enabling voters to verify their vote after it has been counted. -
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 7:50amHonestly- I dunno. In 2008, there was 129.5 million votes cast, in this one, 120-ish…. Yet everywhere you went, you heard stories of "Unusually High Turnout"….
Its moot now: Romney conceded, so Obama won. I pray he does better in this term than last one, but I fear otherwise.

As for your question regarding how Gary Johnson did, I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I heard yesterday on the radio that he got just under 1% of the vote. But again, just heard it on the radio so he might have done better than that.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:58pmI slept very restlessly last night, waking up several times with the thought – My heart is broken.
I thought today would be my first peaceful and hopeful day regarding our country in 4 years. Instead, we now face the end of the America I loved and grew up in. My grandchild will never know that America, and I ache for him because of that. This has been the best country on earth. And now 50% of our neighbors no longer want responsible freedom and the joy of feeling the accomplishment in "building that." I never thought this country would go that way – ever. This country could only fall from within. And we're heading down that path now at break-neck speed – on purpose. By choice. By vote.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:08pmSo well put, Just. Today all day I have cried and mourned every bit as much as I did when I lost my beloved parents and so many loved pets. Last night, I lost my country. America died. This election was our last hope. Now we begin the burial process. I only have one daughter, grown, but I mourn for her and what she will have to cope with. She's 31 – had a taste of America pre-death.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:18pmThis country? The country that took God out of our schools?
The country that took God out of everything?
And you think God is coming back to save you now?
The moral majority has become a moral minority.
We no longer speak for this nation. It is lost. Pray for your own soul as that is all that you can save now. -
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:30pmI share this as a very similar loss but know also God has bigger and better plans for us. We will see better days.
I believe Romney and his family are wonderful people and I believe he would've made a great president but God must have better plans for him too.
May God bless his family and all families across this great country. There will be a day people look back on this election and wonder what they were thinking, but hopefully the prayers many of us are sending to our Lord will be answered for them too. -
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:44pmSorry Pwatkins but God has left the building. Daddy is right. We as a country have sinned on him in far greater numbers than those who have not. We are now under satan's rule. I'm quite certain that collectively there have never been more Americans praying for something than Romney's win and it didn't happen. We have been deserted as a country but of course we can still pray as individuals and we need to do just that now more than ever. America died last night. God didn't save our country.

If Romney would have won, we would still be the same country we were last week. This country and government is rotten and to think it can be fixed with one voting day is foolish

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:10amFor a group of believers some of you seem to be lacking faith in your God… I too had a restless nights sleep last nigh, however I do know that God is bigger than the situation. Barry may be POTUS but my God is still King, the very breathe the POTUS breathes comes from my God and I'm sure these results come as no surprise to him.
2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD search throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him".
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:13am@UnwantedFoe, You may have had hope, but people that like the Bill of Rights, sound money and peace were going to be screwed regardless.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:30amDADDY – One cannot save oneself no matter how hard you try. Our Lord Jesus Christ died in our place to save mankind from eternal death. Your soul has been saved if you've accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour.
Everyone, don't be sad. All things work together for good according to His purpose. He knows our needs and hears our prayers. We didn't get the man we wanted for president. His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. He has something better for us. Each day as the world turns, we move closer to that glorious and wonderful day when our Lord returns. In order for that to occur, this nation must be diminished in power on the world platform. Put your trust in Him who is in total control and has told us of what to look for before His coming.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:41amJust – if you really believe in God, then you have to believe He is sovereign and the the person in power is who God wants at this time. Remember, sometimes God puts men in power in order to chastise His people.
America needs some chastising, and besides, as a Christian, I could simply never bring myself to vote for a man in a cult like Mormonism.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:56amJETSTREAM, you couldn't vote for a man who would have been a great president because you believe his religion is a cult, but you, a Christian, can vote for a man who has voted in favor of killing innocent unborn infants even partial birth abortions, a man who lies about being a Christian, but is recorded on video numerous times stating that he is a muslim.."I am one of you"…, a man who is totally responsible for the murder of 4 Americans in Benghazi, and I could list a ton of problems this man has that make him unfit to serve as president. You better rethink your position…pray on it.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:20amGod bless all of you that give me hope with your strength. Thank you for your posts.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:58amVery well put! It reflects my sentiments exactly. I feel so down and out but hopefully God will intercede and make things right.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 11:05amJUSTASURVIVOR-I feel the same way. My feelings as I lay in bed on election night, were how you feel when someone close to you dies. I was running over and over in my head, all that would happen now that obama had won. But, I will continue to trust in God, even knowing that Romney was probably our last chance to save our country, given to us, by Him. We will now all share in the consequences. God help us!

Yes, just like you people said in 2008, and yet the Dow has more than doubled under Obama, and according to a recently released report the U.S. created 1.1 million new millionaires under Obama.
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:06pmFortunately for him, he no longer needs the private sector. If I were Romney, I would buy a nice island in the South Pacific, build a hurricane proof house into a hillside, build a private medical facility to house a salaried physician whose only job was to care for me and my family and spend the rest of his/her time on the beach sipping Mint Julip's and providing intelligence conversation as I relaxed away the remainder of my life in luxury while the fools that voted for Obama stand in the bread lines they have chosen.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 1:11pmI think God had other plans for him, too. I do think God was giving America one last chance, but the country rejected it. As for Mitt, I would have loved to have him as President, but stop and think:how far would he have gotten with this Senate, as it fell out? Mitt's plan was to get Americans back to work, but a huge percentage don't want to work. I see it in my own neighborhood. He wouldn't have been able to achieve what he wanted to achieve. This would have been very frustrating for him. He was spared some intense suffering in my opinion.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:48pmMitt, I got one question for you. Why was it so important for you to knock the other presidential candidates out of the primaries to allow Obama to steal the election from you?
Log in to ReplyReply-
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:58pmWhat? Who did Romney "intentionally knock" out? He just campaigned. He fought an honest fight. All of his competitors would have agreed. EXCEPT for Ron Paul. If you are a Paulbot this is not the place to post your hate on this thread along with every other. The other candidates were all shut down by the left.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:22pmHappy: Judging from the harassing, endless behavior of the so-called Paul-bots, I think they are also from the Left. The ACORN in bankers' front yards / Glitter bombers/ OWS/ MIC checks / media tsunami Left. . Am beginning to have a better historical understanding of how/ why conservatives have re-acted to the mob/ goon / gangster tactics of the Left in past history. The Left is so vile.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:56pmThanks Mitt..pass on any meetings that Obama wants ..let him figure it out on his own.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:56pmRomney is a moral and decent man and the Republican Platform supported life and traditional marriage (God's values), but the Democrats in their convention actually booed God and the idea of God even being mentioned in their platform. They booed against saying Jerusalem was the capitol of Israel, but God says Jerusalem is his city. They support abortion and homosexual marriage. But the majority of this country went with their own selfish interests and bought what was fed to them about economic issues. And the irony is that Romney probably could have turned the economy around if people would have voted for God's agenda, his Principles (seek yea first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto it), and the economy would have improved because God's purpose was first to restore this country to the founders values – this was a country founded on Judeo/Biblical principles and it thrived and prospered. But we as a country have abandoned those and therefore judgement is upon us. You will see the dark will get darker and the light lighter. The next 4 years will be much worse then the last 4 and Obama won't have George Bush to blame for the economy now the previous president is him.
Thank you Mitt Romney for trying to come to the aid of your country. I pray the blessings of the Almighty on your family. Anne would have made a very classy first lady and you would have brought dignity back to the presidency.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:02pmMitt, Governor, Brother Romney, please help us to organize for 2014 and '16. We need your help for America to succeed. Maybe you can do more to help change Washington from the outside than you ever could have from the Oval Office. We will all help, just lead us, Inspire us, to save this once great nation. May God bless you and your family.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:02pmI agree with both responses. God no longer has a hand in this. America is now in the hands of evil. This may be the great battle I don't know. But with free reign, barry will destroy us. And we, collectively, deserve it for choosing him.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:38pmI have to share this from a friend who grew up in the Philippines and is now a US citizen I let her words speak for themselves:
Us Christians we do need to unite, there's got to be some Christians that are for God. We need to unite. I wonder if there's more carnal Christians in churches and they dominate few real Christians? Is this for real? If this is real what's going to happen to America? I have watched this election was somehow is a similar pattern with the election in the Philippines, the lies, they buy votes in the Philippines, the candidates gives money to people, if you're a candidate and if you want to win, then you need to give more money to each voters then you'll get their votes. It's a beautiful country, but there's so much corruption ever since I could remember. So fear grips on kids that are growing, because of poverty, the children's dreams are stalked by stagnancy of the economy for months and years and decade. And most dreams dies with them… It is so evil, no wonder why God says, if His people comes to Him and repent a real repent then He will heal our land…
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:59amI agree with the sentiments of all these posts, and want to congratulate you for the effort that you gave. Unlike others who post here, I was a supporter during the primary season because I knew that Mitt had the qualities to turn the economy around, as well as principled enough to provide healing that this nation so desperately needs. You can tell that Mitt brought a level a fear to the Obama campaign, as Mitt was able to secure tens of thousands at Mitt's rallies in the last couple of weeks. I certainly wish Mitt the best.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:23pmI thank Mr. Romney for the tremendous time and effort he put forth trying to re-claim America away from the international Far Left who have been Occupying the White House for the past four years. We have a much harder and longer battle ahead of us. The Media is the first beach we need to take . That will NOT be easy with the Soros funds and determination to battle. Again, I thank Mr. Romney and his family for having to endure the insults of the Far Left Media . They are a nasty , well-funded, and powerful adversary.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:17pmof course – having run for president for the last 6 years for no reason other than his own personal ambition only to realize that it was not to be…..Now we are saddled with 4 more years and a party with no soul because it was purged by the Romney campaign of all good ideas…..Now this guy is going to sit around and enjoy his $200+ Million retirement……Romney style

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:27pmHe had no reason to run other than his own personal ambition? The GOP lost it's soul because of Romney? Now he's going to just sit around and retire? You have some pretty bold claims – too bad they are without factual references. Observe: Obama was born as a son to a Kenyan warlord. (notice the lack of references/facts) I don't expect anyone will believe me, but maybe I'll sound smart if I post it anyway.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:41pmNo problem with wealth – but Romney is ultimately responsible for delaying the rebirth of this country by at least 4 years. That extra 4 years or more will cost untold trillions in debt. The party might not ever recover what was lost in the Great Purge culminating at the convention
Romney should have done the honorable thing and retired after starting Romneycare in MA and not being able to win re-election as governor. Instead, his desire for power compelled him to run for president and spend $20 million of his own money (2007). If that werent enough, he spent the next couple years winning over the republican establishment so that he could not be denied the nomination in 2012. He won the nomination but had no ideas for the general election other than wrapping himself in the flag – because he was doing it out of pure ambition.
Most people would seek to live out their retirement and hard-earned wealth in peace. This guy wanted power so bad he was willing to risk it all for a job that no sane person in his position would want. And we are all worse of because of it
Question with BOLDness
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:42pmSOYBOM is just an idiot… Don't give him/her the time of day.
We lost the chance at re-gaining our country when Mr. Romney – got this election stolen from him.
Before I knew Mr. Romney, I thought he was just a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. But I'll tell you what, after I learned who he REALLY is, I've realized how much 'we the people' are missing out on a GREAT president. The Odumbo administration know how good of a man he is too, that's why they stole this election from him. They know he would have gotten this country on the right track and off this socialist, communist, muslim track its on…. and like Mr. Romney said…. "I wouldn't tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after the election" – Thank you Mr. Romney for your HARD work. You are a great man! -
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:50pmyou're an ass. Romney is a class act and I'm glad someonw with his character has the money and not you; loser!
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 10:57pmSOYBOMB315_II one you are jealous of Mitts $200 … Two he won the primaries because he did a better job, Ron Paul and Anderson did not. Romney had money and backing and the others did not. Three most likely you did not support or vote for Romney because of the "lesser of two evils" or "he is not conservative enough.
you remind of people who don't support their sports team if they are not wining. You believe If I don't agree with you I am troll.
what do think the others … Paul, Anderson … wanted out of being president, Oh yes pure altruism was their motive.
Posted on November 7, 2012 at 11:00pmRomney should enjoy his wealth, his retirement comes from all his own efforts, even during his time spent as governor he never took the state pension, so not a dime of his retirement is coming out of taxpayers pockets. Hussein on the other hand, his ONLY retirement is coming from the government coffers, right out of our pockets.
Alpha Protocol
Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:17amOf course people never run for any office because of ambition.
Do you really believe he was only thinking of himself?
As you say, the Republican party is out of ideas. Is this really Mitt Romney's fault?
Thankfully, nothing you say will change anything either.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Standard & Poor's lowered its credit rating on New Jersey's debt to AA- from AA, citing concerns about its massive retirement obligations.
"The lower rating reflects our concern regarding the stresses from the state's poorly funded pension system, substantial post-employment benefit obligations, and above-average debt levels," said Standard & Poor's Credit Analyst Jeffrey Panger.
The state has nearly $33 billion in debt, among the highest in the nation, according to S&P, which rates the state's outlook as stable because it believes it will "continue to manage its structural budget imbalances proactively."
New Jersey has long skimped on funding its pension, leaving it with a current unfunded liability of $54 billion.
Gov. Chris Christie, who took office in 2010, has taken an aggressive approach to handling the Garden State's financial problems. He closed a fiscal 2011 deficit of $11 billion, which was equal to 37% of the budget, by deeply cutting spending and suspending a property tax rebate. He also deferred $3.1 billion in pension funding.
The state faces a budget gap of $10.5 billion for fiscal 2012, which starts July 1, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The governor is expected to release his budget in coming weeks.
Responding to the S&P downgrade, Christie called on lawmakers to overhaul the state's retirement system. He wants to raise the retirement age, require workers to contribute to their pensions and curb the annual cost-of-living increases that retirees receive.
"Governor Christie's pension and benefit reforms are necessary to manage the state's pension liability and ensure long-term stability," said Press Secretary Michael Drewniak in a statement responding to the downgrade.

PA Sustainable Small Business Award
The inaugural winner of the PA Sustainable Small Business Award, given by the University's Center for Green Industries and Sustainable Business Growth, is ReAxis Inc., an environmentally-friendly chemical manufacturer in Washington County with a strong social commitment to the community.
ReAxis produces an extensive range of products, including plastics, coatings, elastomers, adhesives, sealants, personal care, hydrogen peroxide, oil/gas drilling additives, electronics and lubricants. The company is committed to diversity in the workplace and to the education of their clients and suppliers on the importance of being green.
The company achieved the voluntary Quality System Registrar rating, which supports the manufacture and supply of specialty chemi cals, and is ISO 9000 certified, which ensures that their data is properly managed. It also is certified in REACH, the European Union international chemical regulation.
"REACH is the most difficult chemical regulation in the world for compliance, and Company President Leon Perez has pointed out that their company wanted to set the highest example for all firms in their own and other industries," said Dr. Mary McKinney, director of the Center for Green Industries and Sustainable Business Growth. "We also think that because they are small and have achieved all of this, they are truly committed and can be a great example that you can be small, sustainable and profitable at the same time."
In addition to the small business award, a special Sustainability Champion Award recognizes the nonprofit Green Building Alliance . The award applauds GBA's commitment to operating a healthy and sustainable workplace, while also educating and motivating others to do the same. GBA was chosen for this award due to their significant contributions to preserving the local environment while promoting business-friendly sustainable practices.

Blimp1 Defines a Progenitor Population that Governs Cellular Input to the Sebaceous Gland
Cell, Volume 126, Issue 3, 11 August 2006, Pages 597-609
Valerie Horsley, Dónal O'Carroll, Reuben Tooze, Yasuhide Ohinata, Mitinori Saitou, Tetyana Obukhanych, Michel Nussenzweig, Alexander Tarakhovsky and Elaine Fuchs
SummaryEpidermal lineage commitment occurs when multipotent stem cells are specified to three lineages: the epidermis, the hair follicle, and the sebaceous gland (SG). How and when a lineage becomes specified remains unknown. Here, we report the existence of a population of unipotent progenitor cells that reside in the SG and express the transcriptional repressor Blimp1. Using cell-culture studies and genetic lineage tracing, we demonstrate that Blimp1-expressing cells are upstream from other cells of the SG lineage. Blimp1 appears to govern cellular input into the gland since its loss leads to elevated c-myc expression, augmented cell proliferation, and SG hyperplasia. Finally, BrdU labeling experiments demonstrate that the SG defects associated with loss of Blimp1 lead to enhanced bulge stem cell activity, suggesting that when normal SG homeostasis is perturbed, multipotent stem cells in the bulge can be mobilized to correct this imbalance.

c-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
Cell Reports, Volume 3, Issue 2, 21 February 2013, Pages 427-441
Denny L. Cottle, Kai Kretzschmar, Pawel J. Schweiger, Sven R. Quist, Harald P. Gollnick, Ken Natsuga, Satoru Aoyagi and Fiona M. Watt
SummaryAlthough the sebaceous gland (SG) plays an important role in skin function, the mechanisms regulating SG differentiation and carcinoma formation are poorly understood. We previously reported that c-MYC overexpression stimulates SG differentiation. We now demonstrate roles for the androgen receptor (AR) and p53. MYC-induced SG differentiation was reduced in mice lacking a functional AR. High levels of MYC triggered a p53-dependent DNA damage response, leading to accumulation of proliferative SG progenitors and inhibition of AR signaling. Conversely, testosterone treatment or p53 deletion activated AR signaling and restored MYC-induced differentiation. Poorly differentiated human sebaceous carcinomas exhibited high p53 and low AR expression. Thus, the consequences of overactivating MYC in the SG depend on whether AR or p53 is activated, as they form a regulatory axis controlling proliferation and differentiation.

Designer skin: lineage commitment in postnatal epidermis
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 12, Issue 4, 1 April 2002, Pages 185-192
Catherin Niemann and Fiona M Watt
AbstractThe epidermis is populated by stem cells that produce daughters that differentiate to form the interfollicular epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Diffusible factors, cell–cell contact and extracellular matrix proteins are all important components of the microenvironment of individual stem cells and profoundly affect the differentiation pathways selected by their progeny. Here, we summarize what is known about stem-cell populations and lineage relationships within the epidermis. We also present evidence that postnatal epidermis can be reprogrammed, altering the number and location of cells that differentiate along specific epidermal lineages.

Add/View Comments (0)Tcf3 Governs Stem Cell Features and Represses Cell Fate Determination in Skin
Hoang Nguyen1, Michael Rendl1 and Elaine Fuchs1, ,
Corresponding authorSummary
- Many stem cells (SCs) respond to Wnt signaling, but whether β-catenin's DNA binding partners, the Tcfs, play a role in SCs in the absence of Wnts, is unknown. In adult skin, quiescent multipotent progenitors express Tcf3 and commit to a hair cell fate in response to Wnt signaling. We find that embryonic skin progenitors also express Tcf3. Using an inducible system in mice, we show that upon Tcf3 reactivation, committed epidermal cells induce genes associated with an undifferentiated, Wnt-inhibited state and Tcf3 promotes a transcriptional program shared by embryonic and postnatal SCs. Further, Tcf3-repressed genes include transcriptional regulators of the epidermal, sebaceous gland and hair follicle differentiation programs, and correspondingly, all three terminal differentiation pathways are suppressed when Tcf3 is induced postnatally. These data suggest that in the absence of Wnt signals, Tcf3 may function in skin SCs to maintain an undifferentiated state and, through Wnt signaling, directs these cells along the hair lineage.

[QUOTE=AllanVS;14822563]Just got LTE, sppeds down between 40 and 50 megs.[/QUOTE
From sitting on my couch in Calgary.
I'm wondering if it's really worth the hardware upgrade. I'm currently getting between 7 and 10 megs down and 1.2 to 2 megs up on HTC Sensation 4G rom'd and running at 1.7ghz x2 and the battery lasts 2 days with lots of use. I really like my setup so is it worth the speed? Are u guys REALLY noticing a difference?
Any insight greatly appreciated.
It is worth the upgrade but NOT purely for raw transfer rate. While this is the issue that everyone seems to harp on (because it has a decidedly greater WOW factor) it isn't really the BIG DEAL with LTE.
Where LTE puts HSPA+ to shame is in latency (ping times). Not only can LTE provide overall better ping times when signals are strong, but latency is generally unaffected as the signal gets weak. HSPA starts out with poor latency and it just gets worse and worse as the signal drops.
Why is latency MORE IMPORTANT than raw speed? When transferring a large file, latency is largely unimportant, but it is rare that this is what we are doing. More often we are transferring many small files (usually without knowing it).
Take a typical web page with tons of little graphics elements on it for example. Each of those elements must be transferred individually and each time the browser begins one of these small transfers you get a hit from the latency. Poor latency can easily add 5 seconds or more to a typical page load time (and even more in complex pages). Many apps also rely on transferring countless small chunks of data, each of which are delayed by poor latency.
So even if you managed to get a raw transfer rate of 10,000 megabits per second (10 gigabits per second), but a latency of 200 milliseconds, page loads would still be mind-bogglingly sluggish, even compared to a connection with a speed of just 1 megabit per second, but a latency of 50 milliseconds.
If you use Skype, latency >>>>> transfer rate

hold on those tests were run with a download in the background...
Here it is with no significant legal or illegal downloads going on in the background.
So that's a Rogers LTE Rocket Hub on 2600Mhz ONLY connected to my laptop via RJ45 (a grey one) at McD's in Oakville with Treatz sitting next to me.
At 95Mbps you can go through a 10GB Rogers LTE data plan in under 15 minutes.

The dems trying to lock down the country in order to finish us off.
GOP + fight in the same sentence? With Boehner in charge? HA!! Thats a hoot.Nothing to see here folks... move along.
Boehner is a sniveling coward.
The GOP fight? When will that happen? The GOP has no Schumer´s, union, or minority thugs to intimidate anyone.
This is a howler:...the dispute could produce sour partisan feelings that might hinder cooperation on legislation when the new Congress begins work in January."..sour feelings"? Ya think? Of course there will be "sour feelings" -- that´s now new: When one Party wants to cut the other Party out of negotiations and when it pretends to listen and be bi-partisan, sour feelings is the least that will ensue.I hope the sour feelings blossom into outright contempt, to be candid. And I hope, probably beyond hope, that Republicans will publicly stand up and call Ms. Jarret, Mr. Obama, Ms. Waters, Mr. Sanders and all the other communists in our governments about what their true agenda is. Get it on the record, televise it, get spies into meetings. Get the word out.Too many American voters on both sides don´t understand the dire situation we are in. Changing filibuster rules, which is typical of Democrats, would cripple our ability to stymie creeping communism.It cannot be allowed. We´re Greece-bound and somewhere along the line, courage will be needed. The GOP has not been reliably courageous except for the newer crop ofTea Party Republicans.
Ignore typos and grammatical errors above. I do know better.
"GOP + fight in the same sentence?"RE: #2 - Exactly! This is going to end up like the healthcare fight...the Dem´s will just lock the GOP out...and they´ll stand before cameras and feign indignity while they´re dropping their collective pants and bending over -- thank you sir may I have another.Bonner should be renamed: Speaker Ben Dover
The Democrats need a little reminder. There will be 20 Democrat Senators up for reelection in 2014, including those in Arkanasa, Lousiana, South Dakota and North Carolina. Of the 13 Republicans only one is from a blue state-Maine. Other Democrats include a couple of dinosuars in Frank Lautenberg and Jay Rockefeller. The sixth year of an administration is usually not kind for the party holding the White House.
It´s simply amazing how one little leftist gangster, from a state with only six electoral votes, can tie up the entire United States Congress!.......Those in favor of closing up the shop, sending everybody home without pay until after January, 2013, thereby saving Uncle Sugar a few billion, signify by raising your right hand!
Some of you need to read the entire article or get a book on the basics of the American government.Boehner is the speaker of the House of Representatives.The article is about the US Senate where filibustering is allowed.
The parallels to 2004-2005 grow apace.

Anthony Hopkins stars as the Master of Suspense. The film isn't so much a biography about Alfred Hitchcock as it is a captivating behind the scenes look at the romance, drama and obsession that went into the making Hitchcock's iconic film "Psycho."
YNN's Victor Diaz reviews the film in the video above.
