Students learn about healthy lifestyle
January 30, 2013 · 9:01 AM
MARYSVILLE — Aidan Corey-Wollaston, a first-grade student at Kellogg Marsh Elementary, appraised the date in his hand cautiously before taking a bite of the unfamiliar fruit.
"Wow, this is really good," he said after sampling his first taste, his eyes popping wide.
His classmate Alexi Looper was even more skeptical of the pickled plums in front of her, and while she worked up the nerve to try them out, she found they weren't as much to her liking.
"They're really salty," she said as her face twisted into a grimace.
Not every new food that the kids sampled, as part of Molina Healthcare's visit to read "My Whole Food ABCs" to Mindy Gray's first-grade classroom at Kellogg Marsh on Jan. 23, was to their tastes, but most of the healthy snacks suited them just fine.
Anastasia Garcia, community outreach coordinator for Molina Healthcare, arrived with Molina Healthcare's giant cat mascot, Dr. Cleo, who hosted "Dr. Cleo's Reading Club," during which Garcia read "My Whole Food ABCs" by David Richard, an alphabet of health food choices whose names Garcia translated into Russian and Spanish for the kids.
"I think the lesson kids learned about the benefits of whole foods was to try new things, because you never know, you might like them," Gray said, after Garcia had finished reading and handed out sample plates of dates, pears, honey, wheat snacks, umeboshi pickled plums and oranges to the kids. "Hopefully, they had conversations at home with their parents about this idea."
Gray praised Molina Healthcare for its community outreach, which she believes has helped broaden her students' horizons.
"Most of them were very open to trying the foods that were brought in," Gray said. "I saw many of them sampling bites of things they had never eaten before. Even if they were unsure, they still tried some bites."
Gray likewise commended Garcia for tying group reading into the promotion of healthy lifestyles, as well as for seeking to include other cultures in the discussion.
"She asked students about their home languages and gave them all a chance to share their background knowledge and experiences," Gray said.
The Molina Foundation's Book Buddies program allowed all the students to take home their own copies of "My Whole Food ABCs," in addition to furnishing the school with a grant for other age-appropriate books.
Greg Smith, director of community outreach for Molina Healthcare, explained that Kellogg Marsh Elementary was the first school in Snohomish County that "Dr. Cleo's Reading Club" visited.
"We focus many of our efforts on underserved and lower-income families," Smith said. "Our members are on Medicaid and many of them have children. At the same time, we're aiming to reach a broader audience with this. We can get a meaningful message out in an engaging way. I'm always impressed by how willing kids are to sample something they haven't tried before, and watching their reactions is so cool."
"It offers nourishment to the minds and bodies of these young learners," Gray said.

Pay Per Click Tips
All you want to know about AdSense
If you have anything to do with websites, you would certainly have heard about Google AdSense program, but you wouldn't have much information about that. You won't have cared much about that until you heard people bragging about their fat pay cheques generated from it. At this moment you might feel that you too need to know about it. Well, if that is the case, you have come to the write place; here you would find everything that you needed to know about AdSense program.
AdSense program has been launched by Google in order to share its advertisements based revenues with individual website owners. In this way, Google is able to extend its own revenues of advertisements and individual users can too, have a piece of the pie. Doesn't that sound interesting? Well, there is much more to follow. AdSense users can post three types of advertisements on their websites including text, images and video's.
There are many ways by which someone who made his own website can get paid through Google AdSense. The two most popular ways are explained below:
- Pay per click: In this program, the website owner is paid a certain amount for every click which is made by a visitor to its website. The amount paid to the website owner is decided by Google and depends on certain factors which are known to no one except Google.
- Pay per sale: Some advertisers tend to pay a cut from each sale. Thus, the website owner gets paid when any one of its visitors navigates to the website of the advertiser from its website and makes a purchase.
Procedure: There are certain steps which need to be completed before any individual website owner can earn through AdSense program. These steps are listed below:
- Getting registered: The website owner needs to apply for becoming an affiliate of AdSense. The application will need contact details like name, address and URL address of the website.
- Scrutiny: Afterwards, Google with scrutinize each application separately and will decide whether to allow any website to use AdSense or not. Websites hosting following types of content are not allowed to do so: pornographic content, religious extremism, terror, drugs, alcohol.
- Displaying the ads: After a website owner has got the green signal to host advertisements provided by Google, it will be provided a number of options of advertisements to choose from. These advertisements are then chosen by the advertiser and displayed on its website.
Importance of content: It is a good idea to have such content on the website which is useful for the Internet community at large. Thus, more and more visitors would visit this website. In this way there is rise in possibility of increase in clicks on advertisements by the visitors. Certain legitimate techniques as described below can be used for achieving this purpose:
- Optimum usage of such keywords which helps the search engines to index a particular web page much earlier than others.
- Providing useful information on the web page which can attract visitors over a long time.

Rope Fish fell in Hot Water :(
Hi all, Unfortunately today while cleaning my tank one of my rope fish stayed hiding in one of my rock decor. I went to put the rock enclosure in hot water (its was hot but still warm enough for me to leave my hands in) to clean off some brown algae. The whole piece did not fit so I flipped it over and 5 seconds later i could hear one of my rope fishes swim or jump up and out of the rock decor and on to the floor. Picked him up right way with my hands because i didn't want him to squirm away while i got a net and put him in the tank. I am not 100% sure which one it was that fell in the the hot water but one of the rope fishes lips seem to be a little red compared to the other rope fish (first degree burn maybe or just irritated?) Gills seem to be working fine and he is swimming around like nothing happened while the other one which shows no signs of damage is hiding around which is also normal. I know hurt fish will tend to act normal so they do not become pray.
What should I look out for?
Is he really just acting like he is fine by swimming around calmly but could actually be hurt?
Or if he was really hurt would be hiding in a dark place like they normally do anyways?
Any Advice would be great!
And yes I learned my lesson to make a count before I start to clean my aquarium!
I would think if he was hurt badly, he would either hide a lot, stop eating, or both.
It might just be best to keep a close eye on him for the next week or two and complete a lot of extra water changes. As it sounds like he had some of his skin damaged, lots of fresh clean water will help that heal up fasterIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
The major danger is something that was brought up yesterday - bubble 'disease' . That is, when a fish is expose to hot water oxygen in their blood stream can come out of solution and form bubbles causing minor to massive damage (so, it isn't a disease at all but the name of the problem.) If it is massive damage it will show very quickly and the fish will very likely die. Minor damage will distress the fish to th extent the damage has occured but they should recover - consider extra air. Gill damage may also be part of it and I'd suggest some aquarium salt for regular fish but 'rope fish' might not tolerate such a treatment. Others might know more on that issue.

If he doesn't look stressed or act stressed I think he is probably alright. Like Cliff said, keep a close watch on him, or all of them since you aren't 100% which one it is now, and keep the water clean with extra water changes.If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.
The truth is not something you hide behind but what you stand on!
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Little Update.. He is still swimming around no problem and is not skittish at all so he seems to have no stress , His eye's show no signs of wear and tear which i would assume is a very good sign seeing as that is probably their most sensitive area. He opened his mouth and it all looked good in there too! (just a lil red around its mouth). Like said I will defiantly keep a close eye on them and do a few changes a week!
Sounds liike he is fine - in order for the hot water to create the bubbles in their blood stream, the oxygen levels in the the fish's blood need's to be near saturation, which is not common for most aquarium situations. I believe the fish is in the clear.

Judging from the vigorous bubbling I see in the background, it's clear your tank has plenty of oxygen from surface agitation. Sounds like your fish is fine. The water couldn't have been that hot, or he would have been scalded. The abrupt change in temperature would have been the greater concern here, I would think. Looks like he's none the worse from the experience, but as others here have advised, keep an eye on him for awhile.

Extend what has been started with AppGen and Middlegen to prompt for an app.module.
If supplied, the app.module will be used to create a new sub-package within the generated code:
base package: org.appfuse
app.module: commerce
object.name: widget
org.appfuse.commerce.model.widget would be created in conjunction with all of the supporting classes if requested.

Nice work Doug. One question - will it be possible for users to use POJOs like they are in AppFuse right now? I realize that using this submodule feature will require additional XDoclet code on the users part, but I'd also like to maintain backwards compatiblity. Hopefully we won't need to change any existing documention, just add some to explain this feature.
I'd like to release AppFuse 1.9.2 this week or this weekend (at the lastest). If you think you'll get it done before the release, let me know. I'd be great to include this feature.
Thanks, Matt. AppGen will work with POJOs and tables with my additions. In terms of the POJO, no additional XDoclet code is needed to use the 'app.module' addition. XDoclet code is still necessary, of course, but the 'app.module' is caputred as an ANT input.
I have had time this morning to work on the Spring implementation of this feature and should be able to tackle JSF tonight. Do you need me to write anything for the documentation? Also, I hope someone on the AppFuse team can give it a test drive and bless some of my decisions on project layout, etc.
Seeing all of the different implementations (Struts, WebWork, Spring...) has been very educational. (I am glad I chose WebWork for my particular project!)
BTW, I have been pushing AppFuse to everyone that cares to listen as a way to learn these technologies. Great job!
As far as documentation - I would add something to extras/appgen/README.txt and also to the AppGen wiki page (http://raibledesigns.com/wiki/AppGen.html). If you need a wiki account, let me know and I'll create one for you. I'd also add any documentation as a comment to this issue since a link to this will be included in the release notes. As far as testing, you might want to add an additional test to extras/appgen/build.xml. At the bottom, there are some tests targets - including some that copy/use custom POJOs from the "test" directory.
OK, I'm ready to push my changes to you... what's the best way for me to do that?
I added a test-appmodule target to appgen/build.xml.
Also, I have updated the Readme file with the following additional line:
3. Finally, you will be asked to enter an application module or sub-package
name. This is an optional feature that will allow you to organize your
classes into sub-packages. For example, for a POJO "model" package of
"org.appfuse.foo.model", just enter foo when prompted.
Not sure how much detail I should go into, but that seemed right.
I will need a wiki account. And let me know what sort of detail you want on the wiki.
The best way is to create a patch for CVS. TortoiseCVS and Eclipse make this pretty easy to do.
Simple is good - on the wiki you probably only need a sentence or two. I'll create you an account and send the information to your e-mail account.
I tried applying this patch. There were some issues b/c I've changed this in CVS recently, but I think I got everything. However, there's a crucial thing that's missing: the package names. In my patched version of AppFuse, there's nothing in the .xdt templates that changes the package names to reflect the module. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?
To make things easier, I've uploaded the patched version of AppFuse to http://static.appfuse.org/downloads/appfuse.zip. If you can take a look at it, that'd be great. Just so you know, I did modify "test-appmodule" in appgen/build.xml to use the Person object instead of PersonPlus.
The patch is uploading now, should be done by 11:45 PM PDT.
The package names in the .xdt templates didn't change because I changed the package names going into middlegen. Thus, the parentPackageName includes the app.module.
This is why I added the basePackageName XDoclet configParameterValue for use on imports like Constants and other Base classes.
I will download the patched appfuse zip and give that a try...
OK... there were some things in appgen/build.xml that I was being an idiot about. I think we need to introduce a new pojo for test-appmodule. In /extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse, I created a new organization/model directory path with a new pojo called Department.java
The test-appmodule target has to be changed to reference this new pojo. The changed and added files are attached
Not sure how test-appmodule passed under the JSF implemenation with the way I had written the ant target...
But, I ran test-appmodule under a Struts implemenation and it passed with the above changes.
Other implementations are not working and I have found the problem. When the appgen/build.xml file is changed for the various other implementations, the replacement of the Generic Action xdoclet template is not happening. I have confirmed this under webwork and tapestry. When comparing the <replacetoken> with the original code, I could find no differences so that's where I reached a dead end.

I have confirmed this under webwork and tapestry. When comparing the <replacetoken> with the original code, I could find no differences so that's where I reached a dead end.
The reason for this is usually because of Unix vs. DOS line endings. Since I uploaded from OS X, it's likely that appgen/build.xml has UNIX line endings and you need to change those to Windows line endings. I usually fix this by opening build.xml in Wordpad and saving it.
Who knew WordPad could be useful... that fixed that problem!
I am running my final tests now in every implementation and will attach a zip with the changes.
I had to change AppFuse's build.xml file because in the struts/webdoclet area there were two tabs that didn't exist in each implementation's build.xml file so that replacetoken wasn't matching.
In WebWork, my change to xwork.xdt didn't make it into the patched AppFuse zip last night, so I'll include the updated file.
I would hope to be able to deliver another patch sometime tomorrow...
Excellent - thanks Doug. I hope to release 1.9.2 on Sunday, so you have some time.
Struts, WebWork, JSF and Spring all test out using test-appmodule.
Tapestry fails test-appmodule in test-web because MockRequestCycle.getPage assumes the page's package to be the same as MockRequestCycle. Not sure what to do here, but I double checked and everything runs fine in tomcat, its just a testing issue.
OK. The attached file has the following changes:
/build.xml - Removed erroneous tab characters
/extras/appgen/build.xml - Fixed test-appmodule to use the following new Department pojos in /extras:
/extras/spring/extras/appgen/src/ControllerTest.xdt - Added app.module for test against getViewName()
/extras/spring/extras/appgen/src/FormControllerTest.xdt - Added app.module for test against getViewName()
/extras/webwork/extras/appgen/src/xwork.xdt - this file didn't make it into the patch .zip file
I realize that a CVS patch file would be optimal, but I don't really have a CVS base to build that on, do I?
Finally, I'm assuming that I'll add my change to the Wiki after you release 1.9.2? Or is there a different process?
I should be able to work with this - let me get back to you after I've tried. As far as modifying the wiki - feel free to do that at any time.
I tried this applying this patch by using Beyond Compare and modifying "extras" to match the one you attached to this bug. I couldn't get it to work. In fact, it fails to compile when I simply run "ant test-appmodule". I'm trying to release 1.9.2 before tomorrow, so I'm on a tight deadline now. If you can create a patch against CVS HEAD, I can apply it. Otherwise, we can include it in a 1.9.3 release, or make an "appgen-with-module" download.
BTW, does this apply the module feature to ibatis as well?
I have attached a patch from CVS HEAD for my changes.
This should support iBATIS, but I haven't tested the iBATIS changes since merging my changes with CVS HEAD.
This patch file references some additional files:
? extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse/organization/model
? extras/jsf/extras/appgen/src/menu-config.xdt
? extras/jsf/extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse/organization
? extras/spring/extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse/organization
? extras/tapestry/extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse/organization
? extras/webwork/extras/appgen/test/dao/org/appfuse/organization
All of the /test/dao/org... files reference the new Department.java POJO I added for test-appmodule.
I couldn't figure out how to have the patch file include the content of these files since I don't have CVS Add rights
But, all of these should be available in previous attachments.
Here's next problem... in testing CVS HEAD + my changes with test-appmodule, only the Struts implementation worked straight up.
JSF was throwing errors concerning missing JavaScript files in web/scripts... I found an old copy of the JS files and re-ran the test with them, and test-appmodule passed.
Tapestry's test-appmodule worked as well as it did last Friday up unitl the ClassCastException mentioned in an earlier comment. Do you want me to look into fixing MockRequestCycle?
WebWork both throws errors during the Cantoo tests, so I ran AppGen's ant test target on a clean copy of CVS HEAD and it failed as well so I don't think it has to do with the appmodule additions.
Spring fails during the JUnit test for UserControllerTest... BaseControllerTestCase NoClassDefFoundError
So, I wanted to get this patch to you so that the CVS source doesn't slide too much more before the patch is applied but do with it what you want in terms of the release of 1.9.2 or later.
Thanks Doug - I was successfully able to integrate this patch. As far as the other web frameworks breaking - that's expected as I'm integrating the CSS Framework now, and I only have it done for Struts. You can see the CruiseControl status of the project at http://home.raibledesigns.com:8080. If you can fix any of the non-installation issues (i.e. with Tapestry or Spring MVC), that'd be great.
Glad that last patch worked. Sorry that it wasn't a complete patch with the new Department.java and menu-config.xdt files. Hope that wasn't too much of a pain.
In terms of the Tapestry fix, I looked into it more tonight and want some guidance before I dive in. The issue is with the MockRequestCycle.getPage() method. When it goes to instantiate the page class, it uses MockRequestCycle's package + the page class name to build out a fully qualified class name.
With AppModule, there is a sub-package missing from that equation, it throws a ClassNotFound exception, and then instantiates the BasePage class as a fallback. (I know that you know all of this but I want to make sure that what I'm saying is the truth)
My first thought was to pass the sub-package name into getPage but that's no good because of the IRequestCycle implementation.
I know that we could start dropping classes that extend MockRequestCycle into each sub-package's test.*.webapp.action package and that should work. But that seems a little kluge.
I looked through the Tapestry source and couldn't really find a clean way to load a page by name even though the pageName -> class name is available in the *.page files.
Any thoughts?
Doug - everything is checked into CVS now, in an incomplete state. I'll be trying to fix the CSS Framework integration issues with week, and moving onto the modules issues you listed above when I'm done with that. Unfortunately, I'm at a client all week, so I'll likely only be working on this 1-2 hours per day. I'm guessing I'll get to this on Wed or Thurs.
Doug - I'd like to put a beta or release candidate out today, and this bug is the last major one I'd like to fix before I do this. Unfortunately, I'm having a difficult time testing it. I'm sure it's something so small I just can't see it.
When I cd into appfuse/extas/ibatis and run "ant test-appgen", the first two tests work, but the module one fails. If I cd into the generated appfuse-appmodule/extras/appgen and run "ant" with all the same parameters from there, it works fine. It's likely an Ant issue I just can't figure out. Here's the output from this particular test failure:

Nevermind, I got it figured out. For each of the frameworks in extras, I had to change their test-appgen logic to exclude the model.name. For example, I changed this:
<ant dir="../../../$
{app.name}/extras/appgen" target="test-all" inheritAll="false"><property name="web.framework" value="tapestry"/>
<property name="appgen.type" value="pojo"/>
<property name="model.name" value="Person"/>
To this:
<ant dir="../../../${app.name}
/extras/appgen" target="test-all" inheritAll="false">
<property name="web.framework" value="tapestry"/>
And now the tests are working.

Paul Ryan has his interns and staff read Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Paul Ryan has said the author of these books is what inspired him to enter politics. Paul Ryan has said many times that he is guided by this author's principles and philosophy.
Paul Ryan is talking about Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand was born in Communist Russia. She spoke English with a Russian accent. Ayn Rand was a loud prognostic Atheist. Ayn Rand was a leader in making abortion legal in this country.
Can you imagine what the conservatives would do to Biden and the President if they touted a female Russian atheist abortionist? We liberals don't care and would never accuse Paul Ryan of supporting communism, atheists or abortion.
Paul now disavows Ayn Rand. Paul says when he found out, "some time ago", he stopped being a follower. Paul was a key note speaker at the Ayn Rand convention in 2009. Last year Paul was still telling reporters he recommends reading Ayn Rand.
So for 22 years Paul had not a clue as to who Ayn Rand was? Paul Ryan is either incredibly stupid or a great liar. If I were Paul I would fane stupid, that you can be excused.
The problem, we the educated have, with Ayn Rand is not Ayn Rand per say but people who take her fictional writings as gospel. Ayn Rand believed the leaders have to be the Elite who rule through Economics. There would be no government as we know it. It's fun reading about a species that does not exist. But, has no substance for Homo sapiens.
Curtis Weems

This rant is incredibly ridiculous. Rand's philosophy is about freedom of expression, exercise of self determination and laissez faire economics. One does not have to agree with her personal beliefs about God or abortion to accept the logic of her economic philosophies.
Keith Dewey obviously hasn't read either book, knows knowing about her personal and family journey from Russia or else he would be unable to make such inane connections.
Paul Ryan has never disavowed Ayn Rand's economic philosophies. Like Ryan, I don't have to subscribe to her atheist and abortionist beliefs to accept the pure logic of her economic beliefs which have nothing to do with elitism. Which can be summarized as maximizing one's personal potential in system that promotes it not a system that controls it.

As far as being born in Russia it made Ayn Rand a fanatical anti-communist and her capitalistic philosophy shows that. No story there.

Keith A. Dewey is an avid follower of Saul Alinsky. For decades he has been preaching to his fellow travelers to read "Rules for Radicals." Saul Alinsky was an American Community Organizer and Writer. Keith A Dewey is clearly following these rules in his recent Post "Paul Ryan the Incredible."
The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Keith A. Dewey proposes a difficult choice for his readers to make. Paul Ryan is either A. Stupid, or B. a Liar. Either way Keith A. Dewey has used ridicule, picked his target, personalized it and polarized it. Saul would be proud!
DISCLAIMER: This post is completely fictional, MZ does not know Keith A. Dewey the Incredible. MZ has never met Keith A. Dewey. MZ only knows of Keith A. Dewey what he has read about Keith A. Dewey. The same might be said about Keith A. Dewey's knowledge of Paul Ryan.

was that avid follower or rabid follower? I'm trying to assess points.
1:05 pm on Friday, August 17, 2012
I was going to award points for the blog, but after reading the "we the educated" line I decided against it. I didn't want to have to choose between being "either incredibly stupid or a great liar." That is a tough choice to make that seams to have no good answer. It does seam that Mr. Dewey suggests stupid is the better answer.
At the risk of being branded a liar or stupid, I think I was going to award 2 points, one each for the Saul Alinsky tactics and an extra point for the "we the educated" line. Go ahead and award points as you see fit. Rabid may have been the more appropriate word choice.
Phyllis Stager
12:10 pm on Saturday, August 18, 2012
MZ, you are a thinker. Of course, Keith Dewey, who presents himself as a member of 'we the educated' must have missed the courses, not only in Latin, but also Logic 101.

The Patch blogs are becoming pathetic.
Change that: They ARE pathetic.
They now let anyone who has an opinion, keyboard, and access to the internet spew their stupidity and rehash for everyone what they heard from their favorite bloviator of hot air (talk show host) and present it as their own thoughts about politics.
Pretty sad way to drive traffic to Patch websites.

If they bother you so much, why do you read them all? Blogging is a form of entertainment. If you're not entertained, don't concern yourself with them.
Of course, you could also respond by blogging on your own. My guess is you don't really find the blogs pathetic-- you just disagree with the viewpoints you're reading. So why not share with us what we've all been missing?

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
Is this any better a quote to ponder?
Patrick Giusto
1:57 pm on Friday, August 17, 2012
"Winston's right. I totally hate our socialized medicine system. You should have seen me wringing my hands when I had to sit through a ten minute musical piece celebrating it during the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics."
2:54 pm on Thursday, August 23, 2012
Joe- I don't agree with Churchill here. "Philosophy of failure" and the "creed of ignorance". Capitalism fails, which is why it has been fine-tuned to include social policies. Let's see where the deregulation of a self-governing market has got us: The Great Depression, several stock crises including the most recent 2008...
Socialism is a dirty word in America... Little do people recognize that the Progressive Era (you know, the one that followed the Gilded Age), heavily relied on socialistic policies to rebuild the economy and provide Americans with a sense of economic security after the Great Depression. Granted, this wasn't full on democratic socialism... But very similar ideologies and the acknowledgment that the working class (and by this I mean the 80%+ of the population that works for someone else) needed some security.
Socialism isn't "the equal sharing of misery"-- It's about equality, yes. It's not that everyone should make the same wages, or capitalists shouldn't profit. It's acknowledging workers deserve a fair share of the pie considering their labor contributed to the overall profits of the organization. Thus, the idea of public (or cooperative, or state-- depending on the socialist theory) ownership is born. Markets are no longer a luxury of the incredibly wealthy.
In sum, there are several schools of thought on socialism and it's not limited to one ideology. Sort of like the varying theories of capitalism (laissez-faire, state capitalism..).
4:34 pm on Thursday, August 23, 2012
Elyse - What is the fair share of the pie? How would this be determined? Isn't the best way to determine this to allow free people to agree to provide their services to an employer for an agreed upon amount?
Markets aren't the luxury of the incredibly wealthy. I started several businesses without being incredibly wealthy.
Who better than me to set what wages I am willing to pay?
Who better than those seeking work are better to determine if they accept those wages?
I force nobody to do anything. They either agree, or they don't. If they generate additional value I would be foolish to not pay them more. If they don't generate additional value, I would be foolish not to find someone else.

Elyse: very interesting point of view. Could you please give an existing nation or independent state that exemplifies your theory of socialism? Or, how about one that 'used to exist'? How long did it endure in the 'idyllic' state you describe? The closest thing that comes to mind for me is maybe King Arthur and his round table of knights. Maybe the serfs didn't own their land but they were able to grow crops and livestock for the king and knights, and certainly in that way provide sustenance for themselves. The medieval social and economic structure provided a fairly interesting form of 'socialism'.
To my way of thinking, equality is a loaded word. What are we talking about when we throw that word into the mix? The founding fathers in establishing this nation granted its citizens liberty and guaranteed freedoms no other ruling entity, historically, ever bestowed on its people. Equality of opportunity was the outcome of this. For several centuries now peoples from all over the world have fled to our country to participate in this never before conceived way of life. They fled for the liberty that no other nation provided. They fled toward the chance, not the guarantee of success and with willingness to risk failure.
Our nation isn't perfect and we do have our share of greedy villains. We have provided more people with equality of opportunity than any other. Government guaranteed outcome/security by necessity, diminishes equality of opportunity.
3:38 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
MZ: loaded questions and and limited characters. My main point was there are varying theories on socialism and to simplify it as one theory is "ignorant". I'm not advocating one way or another, just trying to paint a more clear picture of the ideology itself.
First off, you are right, depending on the business it doesn't have to be that expensive to start it up. What I was referring to is stock ownership shares. A very small percentage of the American population owns a vast majority of controlling stock shares.
I'm not sure what would be a "fair piece of the pie"- Democratic processes could help to establish that. For EOCs it varies. http://www.nceo.org/articles/employee-ownership-100 <--Here you can learn more about how different companies do it. Some companies don't allow any single person to own more than 10% of the shares.
Kudos to you: you don't use force with your employees and you're right about if they're earning you more you should pay them more (ideally). That's probably the biggest difference between a hands-on, hardworking self-starter and the high executives of some of the wealthiest companies. Some are so far removed from their workers and despite the handwork of the employees they're not seeing it "trickle down".
It's a complex to say the least and there's so many factors to look at. Company size, social obligations, varying functions, etc. etc. etc.
Thanks for expanding the discussion MZ, you made excellent points!
8:08 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Elyse, Perhaps I could have explained my point a little better. You need to bring value to be valuable. I will agree that most businesses cannot function without people, but you should acknowledge that not all jobs require special skills. Take McDonalds for instance, a huge corporation. Without the cashiers, cooks, etc... McDonalds would not be profitable, and they are hugely profitable. Why do the workers only make minimum wage? It is due to supply and demand. There are literally millions of people who could perform the same work scope. Why would McDonalds pay them more than they are worth?
The executives at McDonalds pay many people big time money, but they bring special skills that are hard to find and harder to replace. There are thousands of people who work for the corporate structure that make well into 6 figures due to their special skills.
Certainly the CEO doesn't know every fry cook, but even if he did what do you expect to trickle down? I'll ask the same "loaded" question, what is the fry cooks fair share of the pie?
10:51 pm on Sunday, August 26, 2012
MZ: I see what you are saying. I think it would require thinking outside the lines a little bit. People don't have to make the same, but livable wages for companies that can afford to do so is not asking too much. If you followed that link, it's not about the wages it's about ownership. So in the case of McDonalds, say the fry cooks had a percentage of the company.. They keep their wages but based on the performance of the company they could have extra.
There isn't one concrete idea nor can I do it any justice in this casual conversation. There are several different approaches: many of which (as Phyllis has pointed out) have failed. Then there is social democracy (like we see in Europe). Granted, the socialist party has lost voters over the past few years.. Still there tho.
When you talk about "supply and demand"- This is the effectiveness and the pitfall to capitalism because it doesn't account for things that humans value outside of money. In this society money governs the entire rationality.
Look at how many people have gone through college to get new skills and they're walking out into an economy where despite their specialized skills there aren't the jobs available. Now too many people have skills and there aren't enough jobs to sustain them. Lots of supply, pay is low, and people are living in states of perpetual debt with limited resources. Low wages = less spending. Economics 101: Can't have a consumer based economy when consumers can't afford to consume.
7:20 am on Monday, August 27, 2012
Elyse, I knew many people that got "specialized" skills in college that never found a job in their field and were saddled with debt. If your skills don't add value, the specialization becomes irrelevant. You could be the best 8-track repairman on the planet, but not many people have 8-tracks anymore. Further, a degree in women's studies isn't that valuable to most people. You need to bring something to the table.
Why would the fry cooks have a percentage of the company? Again, there are literally millions of people that perform that work.
You cite Europe as an example of a socialist democracy while Europe is quite literally a powder keg. There is higher unemployment, worse conditions for graduating students, less potential to move upward, and the gap between rich and poor is larger in Europe. The European growth rate is miniscule with few exceptions and those exceptions are the least socialist.
It sounds like you are for spreading the wealth around or "trickle up poverty". The more we model ourselves after Europe, the more we will become Europe. It is not the paradise you might think it is.
8:40 am on Monday, August 27, 2012
We're loosing base here MZ. I'm not advocating one way or another or claiming it's some sort of paradise. Just expressing flaws with our systems and theirs. I don't think education should be building careers, but helping people develop critical minds (a necessity for democracy). As with anything, I think we can learn from those around us (from the smallest level to the largest) to improve our situation on a societal level.
I too, know several people who graduated with certain degrees and are now working a job that has really nothing to do with their degree. I know people who opted to go back for their masters to give themselves more of an edge. I know programmers that have been in business for 20+ years whose departments are being outsourced to India (and many companies are learning that the work isn't necessarily better because its cheaper... so we may see more of a shift back here for our tech skills).
In sum, we live in a global society now. A choice of one country may directly or indirectly affect another.
When we talk about unemployment, let's see how that has changed in the US after 2008. Unemployment rates skyrocketed and then people could not find jobs. These weren't lazy people, these were people who worked their entire lives. So now people are allowed to be on unemployment for 99 weeks, enough time to develop new skills or invest in a new line of business- or is it? In 2009 we shared the same employment rate as the EU. Now, EU as a whole has a higher rate...
9:12 am on Monday, August 27, 2012
The EU includes 27 countries.. Germany has an unemployment rate of 5.6%.. They have a lower unemployment rate than the US. Spain and Greece have shockingly high numbers- Especially for their youth. Youth have the highest unemployment rates, this is a global trend. But this also explains why Europe as a whole has such a high rate, it's an average based on 27 countries.
One way to combat this is to have young people develop skills that are in-demand (as you said). I also see this as semi-problematic because then as a country we're breeding people for production. In essence we're not teaching people to think critically, we're teaching them to perform better for means of capital pursuit.
Tell me how the USA is in "economic crisis" and CEO's pay have risen upwards of 27% over the past year. Not the case with small-medium size business. Local companies have struggled (as a general whole).
Between 1978 and 2011 CEO pay has grown 725% while worker pay fell 2% (http://www.epi.org/publication/ib331-ceo-pay-top-1-percent/). Who am I to say what's fair... But those numbers don't add up and it seems to have a trickling effect on the economy. Money still isn't going to job creation and these companies have no obligation to America. There was a time where they did. An employer took pride putting people to work and ensuring they could live. Not the case anymore: globalization. Do we accept the situation and start selling labor for the same cost as China, Philippines, etc?

As usual, Mr. Dewey's rant is absurd. In the whole resume of Mr. Ryan, who even "those educated from the Left...gag...like Simpson Bowles respect as "amazing", we have Keith who focuses on the minutiae while ignoring the profound. Is that the best you can do? I suggest a better target for your vast intellectual disdain might be the buffoon Joe Biden. Perhaps too much of a challenge?
Steve Sweetnich

For the record, here is what Erskine Bowles has to say recently..."Erskine Bowles, co-chair of President Barack Obama's budget-deficit commission, had unusual praise for Paul Ryan at a 2011 event, shown in a video posted to YouTube on August 12.
"I'm telling you this guy is amazing," Bowles said in the video, reportedly taken at a 2011 University of North Carolina event.
Let's see...Mr.Dewey or Mr Bowles....

Thanks all for your comments. Not surprised by the results. Some shoot the messenger but, that is the Republican way. Can't combat the argument on merit so attack the author. Others made fun of my writing style. I guess different is wrong just not different. One said my fact on Ryan disavowing Rand was wrong. Go to several youtube videos of Ryan doing just that. My favorite was The Young Turks 15 of August. Ryan says "I reject her philosophy…" Other comments were from those conservatives that either can't comprehend what they read or short circuit on 2 syllables or more.
Thanks to those that can read and think.

Reading these comments, I wonder if anyone here is over the age of fourteen. Bunch of reactionary rants and pathetic personal attacks that completely miss the point of the blog post. That said, "per say" is absolutely inexcusable. However, focusing on that instead of the content of what was being said is equally asinine, shortsighted, and sophomoric.
Phyllis Stager

1:50 pm on Thursday, August 23, 2012
Yes, he did, Phyllis. I agree he should be embarrassed by such a dumb typo. However, by poking fun the way you do, you're no better than anyone else. Feel better now? Yes? Good. Now can we all be adults here?
Phyllis Stager
12:27 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Please note Keith's most recent comment. I told you it wasn't a typo! LOL! And notice the kindness which follows his use of Webster's to fog his misapplication of 'meaning' and 'definition'. This scolding comment of his is a MILD compared to his foot prints on other blogs. I am thus in the role uneducated school marm hiding Ryan's lies and in the process I insult ANY intelligence.
I think Keith is a good kid, trying to find his way. I like his bravery in risking his thoughts and opinions to the 'public'. I can only condone his efforts if not his conclusions.
Phyllis Stager
4:45 pm on Thursday, August 23, 2012
Well, Mr. Fox, I hereby apologize that you have been offended. Which is more than I ever got from those who assailed me with all sorts of epithets and ridicule in response to my statements, opinions or philosophy. The author demeans anyone who disagrees with him, and has virulently done so in his responses on other blogs, so its not just his typos its his 'style'. (per say isn't a typo).

Webster's Third Unabridged: per: ..."with respect to" ... say: ..."expression of opinion" ... Fane: "as a banner or poster". To the wannabe editors please ask the educated author before rushing to judgment. But more important, playing uneducated school marms obfuscates that Ryan radically lies and insults any intelligence. The comments have also shown me that I am too esoteric for conservatives. For communication to the conservatives in the future I will try simple.
12:49 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Keith A Dewey: Please keep it simple for me. You should also use smaller words so us simpletons can better understand your provocative and thought provoking points. I fear that your message is going way over the heads of the conservatives and that you are only preaching to the "educated" choir.
I went back and re-read your post with Webster's Third Unabridged in hand and am happy to say that now I understand your point. I fully agree that Paul Ryan is a liar per say and that he should fane stupidity in lieu of admitting that he is a liar.
Please disregard my earlier posts. At the time they were written I didn't fully understand that I was dealing with an intellectual superior. I bow before your brilliance and look forward to being further enlightened by more of your posts in the future.
Chris (Kit) Myers

@ Keith: keep trying, you will find your style. Used appropriately, your bravado can serve you well. I am sure you have learned much from this experience. I am sure the next 'opinion' you put on offer will be better. First...define your goals. Then think about how best to achieve what you wish. Do you want to offer substance to inform or do you just want to rile up those with whom you disagree? Make sure your point of view is grounded in full knowledge of the subject. Keep trying and some day you will hit it! Onward and upward, young fella!

This week is Super Bowl week in New Orleans. As we get ready for Super Bowl 47 between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, I believe its right to help home chefs step their game up with a look at ideas for Super Bowl food.
Today's edition deals with nachos.
Nachos nowadays can come in all shapes and sizes. With many of us having bigger appetites, and the longer than ever pre-game shows which none of us really pay attention to, the size of the nachos is important.
But I want to focus on the quality of nachos. Nachos should use quality tortilla chips, cheese and a meat of some sort.
This story from the New York Times talks about a star of the show...short ribs.
This recipe features braised short ribs done in a wonderful way. It includes lots of spice and beer.
It sounds so amazing, I want to make it part of my Sunday buffet.

Serves 6 to 8
"This is probably my second favorite soup in the world," says Lydia, never revealing her first choice. But no matter, this soup stands on its own.
At first, it resembles the classic Greek soup of the same name, but then it doesn't, because Lydia has taken this simple peasant preparation and turned it into something else entirely—something familiar and comforting, yet outlandishly rich, even exotic.
She retains the lemon, of course, as well as the chicken stock and egg yolk essential to the original and both umami loaded. To that she adds lobster, potato, and tomato, which not only build on the umami, but also introduce new dimensions of flavor, texture, acidity, and pure luxury.
The key to success with this soup is never to let it get too hot once the eggs are in. Follow this rule and you will get a thick, creamy, almost custard-like broth. Also, Lydia says, if you do not have homemade broth, use canned. The flavor just won't be quite as rich or deep.

Interesting to read that the reason for the termination of DANGER MAN was the absence of network backing, as opposed to Patrick McGoohan's absence of interest in doing more. ". . . another film adventure show with McGoohan . . . " hmmm, "That would be telling".

Subject of my last blog, which was largely prompted by Cap'n Pickard's material..... Thanks again Captain.
I notice that the Doctor Zhivago publicity parade (fur coats featured in Post #25) was accompanied by driving snow and lashing rain in London on the day. Mind you, the parade was probably in November or December of the previous year, whilst our version of the weather-forecast-from-hell in 2012 occurs a week later than when the edition of Kinematograph Weekly was produced those 46 years ago!
My I ask Mr. Pickard if, as in other features on this thread, we are welcome to post here our own archive stuff on the films and publicity days or should we ask the Moderators to conjure up a related link?
Interesting, that "seventies look" to the cinema at Boreham Wood!
What a "remarkable transformation"... oh dear!
The Odeon at Marble Arch was quick to follow the trend

Rick C, I have no objection, but I think it would be up to the moderators. It would be a good idea to have a 'related link' for publicity etc of British and foreign films in British cinemas.
I have taken liberties on this thread, and that a lot of the material here is borderline off-topic, but I took a chance as, in the case of "Dr. Zhivago", the director is english and this is a British premiere. The film was shot in Spain and Finland. All the post production was done at MGM, Culver City in California. (Lean's assistant was a British editor that had worked on "Kwai" and "Lawrence", Norman Savage).
I suspect the casting announcement for The Viking Queen mistakenly states "Patrick Carlton" instead of Patrick Troughton.
