The use of the Dnepr rockets lately got me wondering, just how much does it cost to launch stuff? We've talked about payload performance of rockets, but not cost and not reliability figures. I couldn't really find this information in one place, so I've spent an hour poking around on a variety of websites:
CODE Rocket LEO GTO Escape price kg/mega$ Launch:Fail ------ --- --- ------ ----- -------- ----------- Ariane 5 18,000 6,800 120 million 57 GTO 26:3 Atlas II 8,610 3,720 90 million 41 GTO 63:0 Atlas V 401 9,750 4,950 90 million 55 GTO 8:0 Atlas V HL 25,000 13,605 8,600 130 million 105 GTO Delta II 5,648 2,133 1,000 50 million 43 GTO 115:2 Delta IV M 9,106 4,231 70 million 60 GTO 5:0 Delta IV Heavy 21,892 12,757 140 million 91 GTO 1:0 Dnepr 1 4,500 12 million 375 LEO 39:6 Falcon 5 4,100 1,050 18 million 88 GTO 0:0 Falcon 9-S9 24,750 9,650 78 million 124 GTO 0:0 Kosmos 3M 1,500 12 million 125 LEO 434:20 Long March 3 4,800 1,400 37 million 38 GTO 13:2 Pegasus XL 440 14 million 31 LEO 11:1 Proton 21,000 5,645 6,220 100 million 56 GTO 238:18 Soyuz 7,400 2,000 1,200 35 million 57 GTO 1,691:101 Titan III 15,400 3,700 70 million 220 LEO 158:13 Titan IV 405 21,680 90 million 240 LEO 37:4 Tziklon 3 4,100 22 million 186 LEO 121:8 Zenit 2 13,740 60 million 229 LEO 37:6 Zenit 3SL 5,250 85 million 62 GTO 14:2 Some interesting things emerge from seeing all the numbers on one place. 1. The Dnepr is a cheap way to get something into orbit! 2. Launching geosynchronous satellites from the equator is a big win (Ariane, Falcon, Zenit SL). 3. The Falcons will be exciting if they do what they claim. 4. I see over 2000 Russian launches. Why am I missing so many US launches? 5. The R-7 ... wow. (I'm counting all R-7 launches, which is a little unfair, because most failures were very early) |

Interesting stuff. I had the impression the Delta IV Heavy marginally surpasses the capability of an Atlas V HL (I assume this is the yet-unflown 3 CCB variant?). This shows it's actually inferior in both LEO and GTO performance. Is that figure correct? If so, it really makes you think twice about the feasibility of cryogenic propellants for the first stage.
The Falcon 9 should be a good competitor, but it's notable it has a poorer GTO performance -- likely because it doesn't have a high energy cryogenic upper stage (it's RP-1 powered, IIRC). It still packs a better GTO payload than an Ariane V and for a substantially lower price, too. In theory, anyway... The Proton is also one heck of a capable rocket, but it too suffers from a weaker upper stage. The Dnepr 1 is really cheap - you get 4 of them for the price of a Delta II which has 'only' 600 kg more payload to LEO! Not so reliable, though... 1700 launches of an R-7 derivative... Mindblowing... -------------------- |

I'm not sure where you got some of the prices from , but I've seen Delta II as $60m in '99 dollars.

Most of the prices are from Space And Tech, but some are from Astronautix.
I see astronautix lists Delta IV Heavy with LEO payload = 25,800 and GTO payload = 10,843. Boeing's site, which I would take as definative says Delta IV LEO = 21,892, GTO = 12,757. These variances are typical, I suppose people are getting numbers from publications at different dates. I'll update the table using the corporate website data if I find it. The latitude of the launch site makes a big difference too. The Proton launching from Baikonur has to perform a more expensive orbital-plane change than the Altas and Delta rockets launching from Cape Canaveral. |

I added a kilogram/dollar column.
The dnepr is the winner in price for LEO, but they need to work on quality assurance. The SpaceX Falcon series sounds too good to be true. I hope they can walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. Their investors will have to be patient and weather a few early failures, and if not they could go under. The US government has a strategic policy of promoting multiple vendors, so they may protect SpaceX for a while. Reliability makes it a trickier issue. If you had a $150 million satellite to put into GSO, who would you hire? If you were free to chose, that is (ahem). The numbers are a little unfair for the Soyuz and Proton, because they include statistiics from all the way back to the 1950s and 1960s, while other rockets only count modern performance. I only counted 4-stage Protons, but for the Soyuz I counted every R-7 launch form the first ICBM test. |

I don't know if the US prices in Don's table are low in general, but the Titan IV (not just 405 but any version) is definitely NOT the same price as the entry level Atlas V 401. My recollection of Titan IV pricetags are at least 3X the $90 million stated in the table.
If a Titan IV launch had been as cheap as an Atlas V 401, we'd still be flying them. |

Astronautix's prices are quite a bit different than Space & Tech's prices.
Ariane 5G - 180 million Atlas V 401 - 138 million Atlas HLV - 254 million (year-2000 dollars) Proton K - 70 million (1994 dollars) Delta IV Heavy - 254 million (exactly the same as Atlas HLV???) The launch contract for the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory by Atlas V has been fixed at 194.7 million. Just googling around, I can't really find good sources of real price information beyond Astronautics and S&T. Anyone ideas? Three must be real data someplace? |

I'm sure there are factors in every launch vehicle/spacecraft combination which affect the overall cost of each.
On the one hand, the launch vehicle builder has to adapt its vehicle to a given mission's needs. The Delta II flew in several different configurations, with differing numbers of SRBs and differing size/Isp of SRBs. The Atlas V that launched MRO used no SRBs, and oozed majestically off its pad, while the same basic vehicle, with five SRBs attached, took off with New Horizons like the proverbial bat out of Hell. These differences in configurations affect cost quite a bit. And it seems to me that American launch vehicles have gotten more alternate-configuration-happy than some other countries' launchers -- ESA and the Russians seem to fly vehicles with fewer available configurations, so their costs are a little easier to estimate. That might be why it's hard to pin down how much the use of a given American launch vehicle actually costs. The costs vary enough, from one config to the next and from one customer to the next, that the best you can probably hope for is a range, and maybe a set of weighted averages. -the other Doug -------------------- The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right. -Mark Twain

I added a kilogram/dollar column. ...from which we can work out the energy costs, since each kg in low Earth orbit requires about 33Mj. Taking that step, all these rockets are (not surprisingly) woefully inefficient. How bad? Well, the best bet is obviously the Dnepr, at 12280 joules/$. Compared to my electrical costs (averaging about 17Mj/$) that's a mark-up of some 1400 times. Hmmm. (Hey, it's a Friday...let me have some fun) we could add another column... I see that the Proton is about the same in terms of energy costs as Beluga caviar. An Atlas II is equivalent to a 1958 bottle of Highland Park**. Meanwhile the appallingly expensive Pegasus XL is on a par with the average truffle. Andy ** Anyone thinking that a bottle of whisky, nice as Highland Park undoubtably is, could be worth nearly $3000 is in need of help. |

Delta and Atlas kept evolving with new configurations because new customer payloads kept pushing the payload capacity of existing launcher configurations, and because of efforts to reduce production and operations cost while increasing reliability. Ariane 4 also had a fair number of configurations to increase payload capacity. Proton had payload capacity to spare, and consequently had fewer configurations (mostly in different upper stages for different orbits and for increased reliability).
The difference can be large between the cost to the launcher manufacturer / service provider to build and launch a rocket, and the price the manufacturer / service provider charges a customer to launch a payload. This thread is mostly discussing price. Price is negotiated and is affected by non-cost related things such as positioning vs competing launchers (if such exist), scheduled availability of the launcher, and quantity discounts. A story on launcher pricing -- When a NASA payload slated for a Delta with 3 solids grew past its mass reserve margins, the Delta manufacturer representative told the spacecraft engineer that an extra solid would only add a million dollars to the launch price tag. The spacecraft engineer then asked about adding 6 more solids (for the max 9 solid configuration) for an additional 6 million dollars, and was told the pricing didn't work that way. The 9 solid configuration Delta was in a different payload class, and was priced a lot higher than the 3 solid configuration plus 6 million dollars. |

The Proton is not inefficient. It takes enormous energy to change the plane of an orbit. Note that Proton's payload to Mars is more than its payload to GSO! The Russians need a launch site closer to the equator. For the same reason, it will be inefficient for the ATV to go from Kourou to the 52-degree ISS orbit.
With regard to rocket costs, very complex contracts are involved. The price of the Atlas V 401 went from $77 million to $138 million because fewer rockets were launched, but a fixed batch payment was made to Lockheed. So these figures are not telling us the real fly-away cost of the rocket. That must be closer to the cheaper figures, because the larger figures include R&D costs. I don't know how to find the fly-away cost of the rockets, so take all these figures with a grain of salt. |

Just an email in reply to the below feedback from Kate.. There are always two sides to every story. I need to make it clear that she did not just make an enquiry she actually made a booking with Bali Baby Hire in which we confirmed for her and an invoice was sent out.. After this we also had correspondence confirming the booking itself. We offer many of our clients to pay on delivery so there was no being sneaky about it. We actually went back to collect our high chair once she advised us she had booked with another company and that was fine we were more than happy to do so however the high chair she returned to us was that of the other company as she said she liked ours better... Seems like Kate was a little confused about what she had bo

Hi I had made an enquiry with Bali baby hire but had not paid any money, then made an enquiry with Bali Baby and paid for my high chair.
When I arrived at the hotel there was a high chair in out room so I thought it was from Bali Baby and thought nothing of it. Then I get a phone call saying there was someone here to collect my payment for the high hair ??? Very confusing as I had already paid....this was Bali baby hire
The other high chair was at concierge as when they came to my room there was already a high chair and I said I only needed one .....
So I contacted Bali Baby and they came straight to the hotel to sort out the problem unlike Bali Baby hire ....
Bali baby refunded my payment but Bali baby hire still required I paid ....

We chose this company from good reviews and we were not disappointed, they were extremely efficient and met all the demands that we chose. We had a 9 month old, and my only suggestion would be to future hirers is do not consider hiring a stroller as I think the one we hired hardly left the villa because of the lack of good paths and roads around the area. I suggestion I would have is to consider some kind of portable seat you can take with you when eating out as they do not have high chair facilities. Bali baby hire equipment is clean and safe and would recommend using them.
Thank you so much for making our first trip to Bali so easy and memorable!
We hired a pusher and toy for our 10 month old for two weeks. It was delivered to our door, it worked perfectly, he was comfortable and we enjoyed getting around with him.
We also had family photographs taken organised through Bali Baby Hire. We were apprehensive as we weren't sure the quality would be fantastic or what to expect...OMG brilliant photos, wonderful experience, exquisite album. We now have friends who are going to come to Bali just to get family photos!! Well worth the money and effort!
Only issue - the driver didn't know how to put in a baby seat, ended up having to hold him on the two hours up to Ubud (mind you no different from using taxis in

Loved loved loved this service have told all my friends will be using you again and again. Took the stress of travelling overseas with a newborn and made it enjoyable. Hired the lay back stroller and was wonderful my daughter was able to sleep while we were out and about and the sterilser was easy and no bali belly for her
just returned from trip to bali with the family. we had megan at bali baby hire deliver a cot for our 18 month old daughter at our villa in canggu. we were very impressed with the service they provided and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends. Luke.
On our recent trip to Bali we used a number of services offered by Bali Baby Hire. Megan, the owner was very easy to deal with before we left and her employees in Bali were fantastic. Our two year old still asks where Gede (our driver who took us to Ubud for the day) is. I would highly recommend Bali Baby Hire.
Just recently spent a week in Bali and hired a pram, sterilizer and driver with car seats from Bali Baby Hire. They were so organised, reliable and the equipment was clean and well maintained. It was great not having to take the additional luggage and was also a relief to be able to have car seats to tour with a 9 month and 2 year old. I would certainly recommend them and will use them again when we go back next year.
Travelling with 2 small children, (one an infant) can be a reasonably stressful time if you're not properly organised and boy did we find Bali Baby Hire to relieve that stress big time!
We hired one of their Steraliser units and it was just the best! We picked it up in the lobby of our hotel from one of their friendly staff who delivered it on the day of our arrival and had it picked back up at the end of our stay. It really was a life saver and we found the equipment to be well looked after and complete with instructions and handy carry bag.
I found that organising it from home before we left was so easy and they had excellent customer service (and spoke great English!) which made the whole process completely stree free.
We also did a f

When coming to a villa in Bali that didn't have a baby cot, the owner recommended this group. Once I went online & saw all they had to rent we were thrilled! Traveling with a 3 year old & 7 month old usually means heaps of luggage. This trip we rented the baby cot, the stroller, the pool float & the activity center which ended up being a life saver. He loved it! I cannot recommend this company enough. I wish they had one everywhere we travel! Thanks so much!!

The exhibit, which is being shown at the El Museo del Barrio in East Harlem, the Queens Museum of Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem, features 500 works of Caribbean art.
Organizers say the ambitious collaboration was necessary to showcase the full influence of the Caribbean on many races.
"This is a first. This is a study of the Caribbean from so many different aspects, but most importantly, the history of that region told through the artistic production that region realized," said Margarita Aguilar, the executive director of El Museo del Barrio.
"Many of these communities actually have links to the Caribbean and New York is one-third Caribbean and is actually the largest Caribbean city in the world," said project director Elvis Fuentes.
The exhibit runs through October 12 at the Studio Museum in Harlem and through January 6, 2013 at the other two museums.

Great South Bay Music Festival
Posted 23 March 2012 - 05:52 PM
Long Islands Great South Bay Music Festival July 13-15, 2012 Patchogue,NY...No Official line up.But magic 8 Ball says,,,,,,,Crosby & Nash,,,,Levon Helm....Jackson Browne.....Dead Bands usually are on Saturday.

Even better...I was thinking tix@ 50 bucks...can't wait til they knock down all those flood zone houses so we can have a music and camping fest.i've got some insight on the lineup which i'm not allowed to announce yet, but trust me, even if they knock the day pass up $5, it's still a ridiculously good deal to see national, regional, and the the best local acts in our own backyard. GSB is a hell of an event, and it's only gotten better each and every year. last year's Umphrey's set alone was worth the price of a Saturday pass! same could be said the year before for the New Deal and KDTU. or the year before for Galactic. see where i'm going with this?

Even better...I was thinking tix@ 50 bucks...can't wait til they knock down all those flood zone houses so we can have a music and camping fest.
i'd estimate day passes at $30-40 tops, and weekend passes at even better discount. that's TBA, of course.
i highly doubt they'll ever make it a camping festival, because that would simply knock the prices way out of wack for what this has become, and the Village of Patchogue already sort of has their hands full with how huge this has gotten.

That wasn't a joke, right?
it was, but too soon.
this isn't English, is it?
your post makes no sense. to stay on topic...GSB lost a wonderful opportunity to add the the history of this "new classic" of the Long Island music scene. fucking sucks.

Title: Ordered 6 balloons...3 blew up
Date: Jul 16, 2012
Would have been great for my 2-year olds birthday if he would have had the bouquet of balloons I was planning on, but when I brought these to the florist to have them filled, 3 quickly deflated, and they informed me they had holes in them. The florist opened the packaging, so I know the holes were not done by me or the florist.

About Vaultskin
Alexia, founder of Vaultskin:
"I'm one of those people who like carrying as few things as possible and try to keep my important day to day stuff in one place. I can't count how many times I've left my phone and wallet in a wrong jacket.
Since I got my first iPhone, I always dreamt of combining it with my wallet, but all the available options were either impractical, thick, clumsy or not pretty to look at... until one day I decided to try to make it myself.
Being an architect I've always enjoyed product design and I was happy to spend nights building prototypes of my ideal case. 12 months, 8 prototypes and 1 patent application later, I finally got what I wanted.
My friends and family who first became proud owners of my early designs of the Lexx case persuaded me to commercialise it. I hope you will love the Lexx case just as much as I do. I'm very keen to hear your feedback to help me improve my designs further".

Through the years
Through the years
When Robert and Hugo Berker founded their small company in Schalksmühle in the Sauerland in 1919, no-one could have foreseen that their "Special factory for electrotechnical installation units" would quickly grow into a widely-recognised producer of switches. Its success was based not only on reliable technology, but also on that same sense of fine shapes to which the company has remained true throughout the decades, the passing trends, and crises.
A selection from more than 85 years of design history.

Near the end of World War II, in an act of fanatical desperation the Japanese employed a tactic of deliberate suicide against Allied ships; they came to be called Kamikaze.
These young Japanese pilots acted as sacrificial dive bombers and died in vain like sheep to the slaughterhouse, all for the good of the ruling class and the emperor. To this day experts try to unravel the political psychology employed to convince the Japanese that sacrificing their lives and future was somehow a noble cause and the cry, "Long live the Emperor" was worth dying for.
World War II is in the past, but is there an equivalent to the Kamikaze in the Republican psyche today? Why would someone vote for a party that consistently attacks their own financial security.
It is sheer suicide for any public employee or retiree on Social Security and Medicare or woman that cares about her equality to vote for a Republican. Could these misguided voters that cast their ballot for a Republican just be another form of Kamikaze and like lambs to the slaughter give the Republicans the power they need to destroy the financial security of young and old alike?
All public employees, especially teachers, police, and firemen have been targeted by the Republicans. Attacks on their collective bargaining rights, attacks on their pensions, and attacks on their health benefits is a core GOP strategy. Republicans have used an army of bankruptcy attorneys to find ways to allow municipalities and states to cut financial obligations to retirees and void existing contracts. Republicans have openly advocated bankruptcy as a means to strip retirees of their pensions and benefits. Why then would any public employee become a political kamikaze and vote for a Republican that seeks to destroy all they have worked for in their lives, including the future financial security of their families?
And those retirees on Social Security and Medicare, the Republicans have over and over again attacked these vital programs. How many times will the Republicans propose privatization of Social Security and vouchers for Medicare before you realize that there is a GOP burglar at your door that wants to take everything you value and drive you to the poorhouse? If there is a burglar at your door you don't unlock the door with your vote and let him in, instead you protect yourself and your family. These Republicans are not Ronald Reagan, Reagan wanted to preserve Social Security, the Republicans today want to destroy Social Security and you with it, don't help them by voting them in.
Women, please, listen to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright when she says to you; "I can't understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney." Romney is a relic of a bygone era in which women were subservient to men. Romney expects women to put their career ambitions aside and has never once spoken out in support of equal pay for equal work. Don't allow the Republicans to drive women back into the Dark Ages, vote for your rights and the future of your daughters. Don't commit political suicide by voting for a Republican.
Don't be like the World War II Kamikaze's that sacrificed their future for the good of the ruling class and emperor, don't sacrifice your vote for a Republican with the cry, "Long live the Billionaires". Vote for yourself and vote for the future financial security of your family. Vote for the Democratic Party.

From my perspective and that of my wife, a retired public employee and a retired teacher who rely on state pensions and Social Security; it is sheer suicide to vote for Obama. Under Obama's radical plans, there will be no money to pay left over for us. It is all destined to go to folks whose votes Obama can buy. Obama doesn't want a safety net for needy people; he wants cradle to grave dependency. Coupled with the limits Obamacare places on medical treatments for seniors, if you want to survive, avoid Obama. For younger folks, a vote for Obama is also sheer insanity. Without reform there will be no pensions, Social Security or Medicare for them. In order to save them, retirement ages must be raised, something Obama and the NJ Democrat controlled legislature refuse to even consider. That would resolve the solvency problems and would give the younger generations more than enough time to revise their finances. For that reason, our mid-30s son, also in the state pension system, will be voting for Romney. Please don't be like the World War II Kamikazes and sacrifice your future and your children's futures for the good of Chicago style political bosses, don't sacrifice your vote for a Democrat with the cry, "Long live Dependency. Down with Freedom." Vote for yourself and vote for the future financial security of your family. Vote for the Republican Party.

It's been a long time since I have read so many right-wing lies in one short paragraph, your conclusions, for want of a better word, are laughable. First, your statement, "Under Obama's radical plans, there will be no money to pay left over for us", what specific plan are you talking about, what allocated funds for what program, did you pull this out of an invisible hat or was it sitting on an invisible chair; the Republicans are seeing things that do not exist and they expect a rational American to believe these lies??? When Republicans talk about REFORM to Social Security they mean privatize, in effect destroying the system by underfunding it, when they say REFORM Medicare they mean a voucher system that will not pay the entire bill for private health insurance and leave Seniors to pay the bill for their own health insurance from a private company, a company that will drop coverage when it is profitable for them to do so, just as they did in the past before "Obamacare" protected people from the abuses of health insurance companies. The Republicans are deliberately vague with their plans because they know the damage their policies would heap on the middle class and the elderly. You are a perfect example of Kamikaze Republican voters.

Bob, start with Obamacare, crony capitalism for Solyndra, etc, bailout of the auto workers (not the company - the salaried employees lost their pension)s and on and on and on. Why do you lie to people? Do you deny that the Ryan plan allows everyone under 55 to keep Medicare exactly as it is if they choose to do so? If you do, you are not only laughable but deliberately misleadng anyone who reads this Patch.

Quote from Bob Griffiths; "It is sheer suicide for any public employee or retiree on Social Security and Medicare or woman that cares about her equality to vote for a Republican."
It should be obvious to anyone who tracts current events that The Republicans want our economy to be reset to 3rd world status. Only then will they bring back jobs to America. So keep voting Republican Americans and take us down the drain.
Just last week I was talking to a Doctor friend of mine. He admits to me he does quite well financially. After some tit for tat conversation, I said I can't understand how any women could vote Republican? He said, "I know, crazy, isn't it?"
5:05 pm on Wednesday, September 5, 2012
Of course you don't get it, Bob. You are a liberal. Take, take, take. Before you do anything or vote you have to ask yourself , ..."What's in it for me?"
I am or were a public employee and am or will be collecting a pension. Having been in a social worker for the state/county for over 32 years I know the system well. I know all the social programs well and how effective they serve the population they are supposed to help. But that's another story. Perhaps a whole blog some day.
I don't like the wide brush some use to paint public employees. But I also know much of the criticism is well deserved. Civil service rules and public employee unions have states by the ... Protections and what was supposed to be fair contracts have gone so far they boarder on organized crime. Politicians giving everything away for votes and campaign cash.
I understand that if EVERY Republican or conservative got everything they wanted I might get hurt. But that won't happen. Most are reasonable. I'm willing to do my fair share regarding public employee pay and pension and benefits. I consider myself a good American first. it isn't all about me first. It's about what kind of country I leave for my children and your children.
Of course you don't get it.

Same old tired talking points and scare tactics. The dems plan has worked so well. 23 million unemployed, record food stamps and 1 in 7 in poverty. Obama has helped the middle class by making it smaller, pushing more and more into poverty. Can't run on results so slam the other guys. What are you going to do to fix this mess Griffins. Go to Washington and vote for what gets you re-elected or what's right for America. Both sides should ask that question not what will it do for me.....greed runs rampant on both sides and it is not just rich people that can be greedy. Wake up America and take the country back from ALL the politicians.

The Republican agenda is not a talking point, nor is it a scare tactic, it is a reality that public workers, retirees, and women need be aware of for their own benefit, get with the program and learn the agenda of your own Republican Party before you make an inaccurate statement such as this. The Republicans are walking backward on so many of their ridiculous policies that I am surprised they remember how to walk forward. Republicans in New York, Utah, Kentucky, Missouri, and Maine, to name a few have attacked Child Labor Laws as "unconstitutional". Newt Gingrich wants to replace school janitors with child labor, this Idiot actually said that. Republicans have no idea what they are talking about, Child Labor Laws were already tested when the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 and the Republicans opposed Child Labor Laws then too. Republicans are not only trying to walk away from their own stupidity when it comes to Child Labor Laws, but also their past support for TARP, health care mandates, the Dream Act, the bail out of the Auto industry, deficit spending, attacks on Medicare, attacks on Social Security and the minimum wage. It's time for Republicans to admit their real agenda.

4:03 pm on Thursday, September 6, 2012
Bob, just want to thank you for a thoughtful article. Of course, we in the private sector understand why there may be some animosity against those public sector employees whose salaries, benefits, retirement and job security have grown so much more quickly than ours. But by the same token, public sector employees must realize they serve at the pleasure of the officials elected by the private sector workers who pay for their generous salaries, benefits, retirement and job security. Given that public sector pension benefits are projected to consume a majority of our state budget, a budget built on unsustainable tax rates, the reality is that the generosity of our elected officials will itself come to an end, and balance must be restored to the situation.
I again wish you the best in your quest to become our elected representative. You are a thoughtful person and there is no doubt we need more thinking members of congress.

Bob---did some fact checking and yes some republicans did question the constitutionality of child labor laws. But this highlights how things are being distirted. They questioned who had the right to issue the laws not the laws themselves. State vs. federal...sounds like something else doesn't it.....ohhh it's a penalty, no tax, no penalty...opps can't get by as a penalty it's a tax.

Bob, you are disingenuous. Newt was talking about about how classic liberal Democrat solutions have failed people. Like the poor urban child in public school. Your answer is more money for publicly employed teachers [which also means more teacher union dues for liberal Dems.] And then more entitlements for the third or forth generation of this child's family. Newt was talking about trying to expose these children to something that is alien to many of them. Work and the what's involved in doing a job. Getting to a place on time, being part of a team that helps something run properly, being responsible, the value and self worth of having others depend on you for something, etc. Our urban youth and our youth everywhere might be able to learn some of these values at our schools if we think out of the box. Newt did not say fire janitors or cafeteria workers and make the kids do the work. The kid on welfare in our cities hasn't seen someone go to work and earn a paycheck in generations. What's Obama's and your response to that miserable failure? Did Obama inherit this mess from Nixon and Obama needs four more generations of more welfare to make it right?
1:48 pm on Sunday, September 9, 2012
BTW, Bob. I don't recite talking points from political manuals like some here. I speak from experience as a social worker, 32 years in the streets. Mostly on the streets of Abbott districts where we have poured lots of extra money in welfare and extra school funding. In my caseload I've had 3 generations of welfare. Some of the teens when I started are now grandmothers. Too bad none learned to push a broom or fill a lunch tray.

Change for the good of the people is never easy, as being the catalyst of change is not for the faint hearted, but President Obama is up for the challenge. Romney offers nothing but the same old Republican policies that failed in 1929...failed in 2008...and will fail with Romney. I also feel that the economic solutions proposed by the President have been consistently blocked and obstructed by the Republicans in Congress, Republicans that put their political ideology before the recovery of the American people and their families.

If Hoover had been reelected in 1932, the Depression would have ended by 1934 instead of lingering on until 1941 when Roosevelt got us into WWII. The Democrats failed in 2008 by blocking Bush's attempts to stop the absurd notion that everyone should have a house regardless of whether they could pay for it or not. Remember the Democrats controlled Congress from 2006 to 2008. You are right that for the past two years, since 2010, the Republicans in Congress have been blocking Obama's economic "solutions." Thank God they did. It is unimaginable how much worse shape we would be in if Obama controlled Congress like he did from 2008 to 2010, when he did nothing to get us out of the recession. The only thing he did then was pass Obamacare which when it starts to be fully implemented in 2013 will make things even worse. We can only pray that Romney is elected, Obamacare is repealed, and real health care reform is implemented. Among the first laws we need is one to limit medical malpractice cases, something the lawyers hate but which would dramatically help to bring down health care costs.

I would like to know how many eligible voters in the area vote the party and not the candidate. My wife and I over the years have crossed party lines many times in hopes of getting, who we thought, was the best candidate elected. Some party line voters would vote for a chimpanzee if it was running on their ticket. We have also voted, many times, for the lesser of two evils because many times we are hard pressed for decent candidates on the ballot. We will vote for Romney this time around, because he is DEFINITELY the lesser of two evils,after the last four years and may hopefully get some order back into the American taxpayers lives. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Bring back the GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!!

Well, I know I am coming into this topic very late. Mr. Griffiths, I must complement you on your writings. Very articulate, and your history is grounded in some facts. Isn't it amazing that the very historical pattern you criticize (1929) has been taking place for several years? Specifically, Hoover (Republican was president during the beginning years of the Great Depression - Which spread all over the globe. Then FDR (Democrat was president during most of the remainder) took over, and continued the same policies Hoover enacted. Work programs (infrastructure), government backed loans, and other government driven programs. Bush (Republican during the beginning of the "Great Recession") brought introduced the government driven stimulus, TARP. Obama (Democrat) continued Bush's policies. Despite the criticisms one can levy against all the above, they accomplished the same thing on the domestic front (I want to stress - On the Domestic front) I do not want to make any comparisons concerning wars/foreign matters that these men had to contend with.
It was not until Eisenhower (Republican) - Possibly one the the greatest military men to have lived, took office and enacted domestic policies (and continued several work programs from the previous administrations) that brought us out of the Depression. He reduced the size of the military, and gave us a surplus budget. and warned us of unjustified government spending and the miltary industry. Now its time for a Republican, in my opinion,
Bob Griffiths
10:04 am on Monday, September 24, 2012
Well, oldsoldier, it is nice to meet a rational Republican with some understanding of history, not that I agree totally with your interpretation, but none the less, you do make me think about your position; in my book that is what it's all about, "thinking" that is. What many of these "newcomers" to politics don't understand is that I have had many political discussions in my life, some heated, but in the end we pour another drink and one of us changes the topic to sports. In the final analysis we can be on different sides of the political clothsline but we can still have a civil debate in the backyard.
Now, about that Hoover/FDR perspective...Hoover was fond of asking the business sector of our economy for "voluntary" cooperation in dealing with the Crash of 1929. Hoover was too focused on the corporate sector and not the household level, which is exactly where FDR focused and was elected to 4 terms as our President by those same "households". Republicans like to talk about the "grassroots" of our nation but I don't think they have a bit of understanding of the importance of "households" to the overall economic stability of our nation. In that way, the Republicans of today are making the same mistake Hoover made, ignoring households, some prople might use the term middle class instead of households. Hoover's top to bottom responce to the Great Depression is exactly why he lost to FDR in 1932.

By the way, Eisenhower, well, we owe so much to him, although he was a reluctant politician, but maybe that is what made him a good elected official, he didn't really want the job, but he did it for the good of the nation. By today's standards Eisenhower would be way too liberal for the "new" GOP.

BG as I see you are an inspiring politician, that's why your writings are so misleading and downright wrong (or I could say lies) you parse FDR for getting the country out of the Great Depression when FDR's own economist have put it writing that FDR's plan was a failure (as is BHO's) the only thing that got the country on its feet was WW2! And we can forget the national Ponzi scam SSI another of FDR's great achievements (or we could have called it The DC Slush Fund) Filled with IOU's from both the D's and the R's. You man in the Peoples Office is a looser economically as well and internationally the world knows a good joke when the see one! 40+ months of over 8% unemployment. The nation's credit ration falls twice the mutt's in the Middle East are urinating on us! I have to go or I would fill the page with facts and d truths about BHO but I have to go back to work OH by the way I am self-employed I did it on my own! BG why don't you try to become a COMMUNITY ORGANIZRE!

What are you talking about...height of Depression, unemployment was near 26%. In 1938, unemployment dropped to under 12%. . . and your calling FDR's economic programs a failure?. . .I won't even mention the infrastructure that was built back then. . .that we're still using today.

bob its always interesting to watch you rile up those with tea bags hanging from their daniel boone and thomas jefferson hats. why not ask them if romney will get rid of his swiss bank accounts and the money he made sending american jobs to china like he and ryan said they would on 60 minutes.and even today bain is still doing it. they just laid off 170 factory jobs for sensata technologies and to rub salt in the wound these american workers in illinois will have to train their chinese replacements. when these dopes on this thread find out the tax loopholes romney says he will talk about closing after the election are actually their mortgage interest deductions and deductions for each child dependent. let romney win these people deserve what they get even if the rest of us in america have to suffer just so they finally get it. by the way romney thinks you should be able to open windows on airplanes hasnt he ever seen james bond in goldfinger?

heres the mantra of those like jerseyswamp and every other republican. if they have success they built it (as well as the schools and roads they used to have their success). if they failed the govt ruined it for them. if they get a break they deserved it. if you get a break its a handout and entitlement just like romney's own dad who got welfare for years before hitting it big.

jersey art gm is the top car seller in the world and even sold more cars to china than toyota did. plenty for you to complain about there right? instead of buying cars from china we are actually selling cars to them. saudia arabia and china have invested billions in solar while these " colonial re enactment players" whine about solyndra which was a program started by bush to get businesses loans.

the gop just blocked a billion dollars in funding for vets programs and things like suicide and post traumatic stress counseling as well as job traing programs. thats the thing with republicans they stick a " i support the troops" sticker on the back of their toyota suv and that covers their obligations. republicans love sending people to war. but once those shattered troops come home they get bupkiss from republicans. they didnt even mention them once at the rnc convention. romney mentioned them though as part of the freeloading 47$ who dont pay income taxes as active service members dont pay income tax. those bums.

Since the end of ww2 the Democrats have bin mostly in control of our government, they are the group that have legislated away veterans benefits, don't blame today's legislators for not reinstating benefits that should not have been diminished by past Liberals.
1:12 pm on Tuesday, September 25, 2012
As for the Republicans sending people to war FDR, DEM WW2. HS Truman, Dem. Korean, JFK,DEM. Nam, and both the D's and the R's agreed with GW to go to the middle east, so your point is not veiled. But I am in support of giving these young vets all they need, god knows my generation of vet got screwed!

I too enjoy a good political and historical discussion, where both sides listen to each other. All too often one side only wants to hear themselves and nothing else. That said, I think the one thing the presidents of old did not have to contend with (unlike the presidents of today), is welfare. What they worked with back then were types of "workfare". I don't believe that any president up to Kennedy would have supported entitlements as they are today.
Today's Democrats and Republicans are more alike than different. Carter, while a nice guy (and smart) was an ineffective president. Reagan (in my opinion our greatest modern day president) encouraged domestic growth and defense spending. Clinton (when you separate scandal from man) was a good president. He reduced miltary and welfare spending. That is why I say: Vote for the person, not the party.
Obama has shown himself to be ineffective. He too has been focused on the corporate sector like Hoover (except he poured billions into it ala Solyndra). He has also been indecisive as commander-in-chief like Carter (Afganistan, Iraq) - I say that because he has not done what he claimed he would do.
To Mrgrumpass - I agree that FDR's policies did not bring us out of the Depression, however I disagree with you about WW2 doing it. It would take another thread to discuss that. However, may I suggest that you read about the Baby Boom.
Again - Vote for the person, not the party.

This publication presents the Swedish view on human trafficking for sexual purposes and prostitution. Its point of departure is that the demand for sexual services sustains these deplorable activities. Seen from this perspective, Sweden has taken a number of important steps, including stricter laws; measures designed to increase cooperation among authorities and organizations; and efforts to ensure better protection for victims and safe repatriation to their countries of origin.

Scary Obituary
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh ,
had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can
vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the
most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has
been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota ,
points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income
tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached
the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at
stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom..
This is truly scary!
Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic .
Someone should point this out to Obama.
Of course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The Constitution.
There couldn't be more at stake than on Nov 6, 2012.
If you are as concerned as I am, please pass this along.

I think this is one of the best email ever, But you decide on November 6, 2012.
Best explanation of what is happening in America that I have heard! Please pass this on may actually make folks think!
The folks who are getting free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff,
because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free
stuff and their own stuff.
The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now... The people who are forcing the people to pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicidesomewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
Thomas Jefferson said it best: "The democracy (Republic) will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that On Nov 6th, 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!
Let's take a stand!!!
Borders: Closed!
Language: English only
Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!
We the people are coming
Only 86% will send this on. Should be 100%. What will you do?

Tale Of Two Doctors
Boy, this hits the nail on the head
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require hip surgery.
The FIRST patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The SECOND sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then pending the review boards decision on his age and remaining value to society.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet. The SECOND is a Senior Citizen on Obama care...
In November if He and his Czars get another term we'll all have to find a good vet.

What SEO features should you look for when choosing an ecommerce solution for your online store? The majority of the most popular ecommerce platforms claim to be SEO-friendly. However, there is no objective definition for the terms "SEO friendly;" some platforms that claim to be SEO-friendly actually lack important SEO features. Whether you are choosing a shopping cart, hosted ecommerce, or more customized ecommerce solution, you need to compare the SEO features that the platform offers against this list of 20 SEO features.
A common question about big websites is "what do I index?" This question is further complicated with eCommerce websites that have a larger demand for better categorization and user features to help consumers find what they are looking to buy.
Five years ago, I purchased a domain name from a competitor who was taking their site down. We simply created a 301 redirect from their site to our home page. Unbeknownst to me, the previous webmaster had built some very questionable links. I never added their domain to Google's Webmaster Tools because there was no reason to. The consequence was that I never received any warning messages.
I came in one Monday morning to find the most awful thing an SEO can experience... rankings suddenly switching from .co.uk to international domains across every major generic and brand term in Google UK. This particular client had dominated their own brand and major generic terms in the UK for as long as I can remember and now, somehow their Irish, US (.com) and New Zealand sites were ranking in Google UK, and the .co.uk was nowhere in sight... WTF?!
The speed of your site is critical in furthering your business' profitability or your website's popularity.
Pagination has long been a topic of discussion within the SEO community. Be it an e-commerce product category, an aggregation of blog posts that meet a given criteria, or a lengthy news article, there are countless examples of pagination across the web. Why paginate? Well, from a usability standpoint, it makes perfect sense. No endless scrolling for users. Faster page load time. Fewer links...
Properly using microformats is the best thing since sliced bread for an enhanced search display. There are SEO murmurs that sites without microformats will soon be left in the dust in the SERP display. Both Google and Bing have both introduced new tools in the Webmaster repertoire that help monitor and troubleshoot issues the microformats. I am not going to delve into the all the individual...
Diluting page authority can be a major problem for ecommerce sites. SEOs all over can benefit from this quick review of how to use the SEOmoz toolbar and Google Analytics to identify 301 redirect opportunities. This approach really focuses on low hanging fruit because it takes less than 10 minutes to uncover good finds. Here is a quick guide to show how we identify 301 redirect opportunities and the results of a successful implementation.
But the question keeps coming up: can Google execute JavaScript and AJAX? Can they really?
This article explains what expires headers are and how they benefit SEO, explains the dangers of improper implementation, and offers some insight on preventing issues.
Whether your website exists to reach out to customers, engage with them, build a community, sell products or act as a voice for your offline business, all of your efforts at maintaining your digital presence may be in vain if your website itself doesn't display correctly!
A solution for those looking to play switcheroo to get better pages on your site ranking for your keywords.
How to use XAMPP to collect crawl error data (and more) from Google Webmaster Tools via their API.
Hi Mozzers, I've recently had to deal with several indexing problems that a few clients were experiencing. After digging deeper into the problems, I figured I'd write a post for SEOmoz to share my experience so others don't have to spend as much time digging for answers to indexation problems. All it means is that your site or parts of it are not getting added to the Google (or one of the other guys) index, which means that no body will ever find your content in the search results.
A website's code is like a play that tells a story to the search engine. If you have ink blotches and pages ripped or missing from the script it is hard for the search engine to understand the plot, if the search engine misses the plot it cannot tell others about it.
