By DAVID ESPO
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders from both parties voiced fresh optimism Friday after meeting with newly re-elected President Barack Obama about avoiding year-end "fiscal cliff" tax increases and spending cuts that would hammer the middle class and risk plunging the economy into recession.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Republicans are willing to consider increased revenue "as long as it is accompanied by spending cuts" as leaders in a divided government get to work on a possible deal after a fierce election campaign.
Democrats indicated that was fine with them. "I feel confident that a solution may be in sight," said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
The goal of the high-pressure talks to come is to produce a multitrillion-dollar deficit-reduction plan that can take the place of the across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts that are slated to take effect on Jan. 1.
In remarks while reporters were present, Obama stressed that time was short as he welcomed the leaders to the White House for the first time since winning re-election this month. "We have urgent business to do," he said.
There was no indication that the meeting touched on Obama's campaign-long call to raise tax rates at upper incomes.
In their public comments, neither the president nor the lawmakers dwelt on long-standing differences that doomed previous deficit negotiations. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell came closest, telling reporters that while Republicans are willing to discuss increased revenue, most members of his party "believe we are in the dilemma we are in not because we tax too little but because we spend too much."
After the meeting, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "Both sides agreed that while there may be differences in our preferred approaches, we will continue a constructive process to find a solution and come to a conclusion as soon as possible."
For all the expressions of optimism, it was unclear whether the Nov. 6 elections and the prospect of the so-called fiscal cliff would serve as a strong enough catalyst for these talks to succeed where other recent attempts have failed.
Obama ran for a new term calling for a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction that includes raising taxes on income over $200,000 a year for individuals and $250,000 for couples. And while the president has stated a willingness to pull federal savings out of benefit programs including Medicare and Medicaid, Democratic leaders have been reluctant to go along.
Raising taxes has long been anathema to Republicans, who say government's spending must be cut to reduce deficits and taxes reduced to stimulate job creation in an economy where unemployment is 7.9 percent.
Boehner told reporters after Friday's meeting that he had outlined a framework for negotiations that "is consistent with the president's call for a fair and balanced approach." He did not provide details, except to say it "deals with reforming our tax code and reforming our spending," a reference to benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
An aide said Boehner's approach calls for agreement on long-term revenue and spending targets to be set into law, presumably this year, leaving details to 2013 on an overhaul of the tax code and remaking benefit programs.
"There is no more 'let's do it some other time,'" said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "We're going to do it now. ... We feel very comfortable with each other, and this isn't something we're going to wait until the last day of December to get it done."
Obama favors $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over the next decade, in part by allowing existing cuts to expire on Dec. 31 on higher incomes.
White House officials claim an overall deficit reduction package totaling more than $4 trillion, although that includes $1 trillion in spending cuts agreed to last year, and an additional $1 trillion in spending no longer needed for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Republicans and independent fact checkers dispute the claimed savings from the two wars, since the money was borrowed in the first place.
Whatever the obstacles to a deal, there is little dispute about the cost of failure.
Under current law, tax cuts that took effect more than a decade ago will expire at all income levels at the end of the year, as will Bush-era reductions for investors, married couples, families with children and others. The 2 percent payroll tax cut would end, and an additional 26 million taxpayers would come under the alternative minimum tax.
As well, the defense budget would be cut by $55 billion, and domestic programs would incur a reduction of the same size.
Unemployment benefits for some of the longest-term jobless also expire at the end of the year.
Boehner has said previously that any agreement should include an increase in the national debt limit, now $16.4 trillion. The Treasury is expected to hit that cap sometime in the next few months.

This technique works well if you are going to a party with a friend but you can also play on your own.
Create a list of sterotypical party behaviours prior to the party and then see how many you can spot. For example:
- Inappropriately/trashily dressed
- Couple hooking up for the first time
- Sucking up to the boss
- Having an argument
- Getting stuck talking to the biggest bore
- Married but flirting heavily with the opposite sex
- Too drunk to know they are being an idiot
- Career suicide conversation
- Old man leering at younger woman
- First woman to ditch her heels
- Someone drinking a "Shirley Temple"
- Table or chair dancing
- Best dancers
- Worst dancers
- First person to fall asleep
Have fun and make up your own categories. Having a silly Party Bingo list will assist you to stay interested in what is occurring and provides lots of internal amusement when you spot something on your list.
This technique works equally well for office parties and family gatherings. Let me know what categories you come up with!

April 2009
The appalling toll of death and serious injury in the construction industry has been brought home to me by two meetings I have had recently.
I have had a meeting with Rita Donaghy, probably not a name you are familiar with, but she is a former President of the TUC who has been appointed by Rt Hon James Purnell MP, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, to undertake an inquiry into the underlying causes of construction fatalities. Ms Donaghy is due to report back to Mr Purnell by the end of April 2009 and she has invited the FMB to present its thoughts to her. I have also had a meeting with Lord (Bill) McKenzie, the Minister responsible for Health and Safety at the Department of Work and Pensions, for a more general discussion about the implementation of safe working practices.
Although some improvement has been made since the 1980s and early 1990s when construction deaths were averaging 130 every year, 72 people in the industry lost their lives last year whilst at work. Falls remain the predominant cause, with accidents involving moving vehicles, plant or materials close behind. While FMB members are not so likely to be the victims of accidents involving tower cranes or on motorway maintenance sites, the evidence points to a significant proportion of accidents occurring on small sites and with smaller employers. My concern remains that the quality of data collected does not allow any differentiation between smaller employers who take their responsibilities seriously and those operating in the grey economy that treat Health and Safety in just as cavalier a fashion as paying their taxes.
My clear message to both Rita Donaghy and Bill McKenzie was that the FMB, and its members, consider Health and Safety to be the highest priority. The FMB is actively engaged with many statutory and cross industry bodies working in this area, and we offer members a range of support services for advice on health and safety. Our Information Services Department (tel: 0870 162 0947) can answer most enquiries and a specialist helpline is available for more detailed questions.
Factsheets on many aspects of Health and Safety are available on the FMB website, or can be requested in hard copy from the information department. Regular articles appear in Master Builder magazine and specialist workshops are run around the country. Above all, the FMB works closely with the Health and Safety Executive to ensure that each is aware of the needs and concerns of the other.
But more needs to be done. Above all the statutory regime needs to be simplified. The FMB has identified 26 separate Acts of Parliament and Regulations that need to be complied with and where breaches could result in prosecution. We have long argued that whilst managing this volume of legislation may just be possible for a larger business with specialist staff available to scrutinise, explain and train, smaller companies need fewer regulations, with clearer explanations in the source documents and effective enforcement.
The FMB is also arguing for the Government to put funding into a nationwide Worker Safety Advisor scheme. The pilot run by the FMB, the Transport and General Workers Union (now Unite), and UCATT in 2005-07 was highly successful in taking specialist support to building sites to give practical advice. Rolling that scheme out now would be highly cost effective.
Another concern of the FMB is the availability of advice from the HSE. A number of publications still remain available only at a cost, and the FMB believes that high quality advice from the regulator must be freely available to all those from whom compliance is required. The FMB has offered the HSE a regular page in this magazine to put across its key messages. I hope that this offer will be taken up.
Finally, there is a need to tackle the informal economy. The difficulty of targeting those businesses that operate informally (who I am convinced are where a disproportionate amount of accidents occur), means that the limited resources available for enforcement remain focussed on those who work legitimately. At the same time with clients, particularly those in the domestic sector still driven almost entirely by price, responsible builders will be at a real disadvantage against those prepared to cut corners and put lives at risk. Perhaps the time has come to put domestic clients under the same liability as commercial clients for ensuring same working practices on their property.

"Most of my day-to-day work involves refurbishing and repairing old properties. The stripping out of old kitchens and bathrooms etc – not to mention the demolition of walls, results in clouds of dust. We keep windows and doors open where we can – but we still breathe in a lot of muck – are we damaging our health and if so, what measures can we take to reduce the risk?"
One of the most common illnesses resulting from prolonged exposure to building dust is silicosis, caused by crystalline silica. This is present in sand, sandstone and granite, clay, shale, slate, concrete and mortar and the use of power tools to cut or dress stone opens up workers to high exposure. People with silicosis suffer from scarring of lung tissue which leads to breathing difficulties.
The most common is progressive silicosis, caused by exposure over a longer period. Victims suffer severe shortness of breath and the effect continues to develop after exposure has stopped. It is also irreversible.
You should certainly reduce your exposure to silica. In most cases it is possible to control this using dust suppression techniques or local exhaust ventilation. Exhaust ventilated tools are widely available, and capturing or controlling the dust at source is nearly always better than attempting to control exposure by ventilating the whole area.
Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) may need to be provided as well. Guidance on the selection and use of RPE is contained in the HSE booklet: Respiratory protective equipment: A practical guide.
Where workers are regularly exposed to respirable crystalline silica then health surveillance which includes a respiratory questionnaire and lung function testing should be provided, plus, if on an individual basis the doctor thinks it's necessary, a chest X-ray.
For more detailed information refer to the HSE Guidance Note: Respirable crystalline silica.
August 2008
You may have heard about a pilot scheme recently launched, which involves the building control industry working with the HSE to improve health and safety compliance on small and medium sized building sites.
IMPROVED HEALTH & SAFETY COMPLIANCE The scheme involves the Luton office of the HSE and building control bodies, both local authorities and approved inspectors, operating across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
The scheme doesn't really operate any differently to what we in building control do already, except where things have gone wrong. Where a building control surveyor spots a health and safety infringement, it is always brought to the attention of the builder or owner of the site. This is not just to protect ourselves but also others on the site. We do not make it our job to go looking, but to tell you the truth, there are some things you just can't miss! If the infringement isn't corrected - or our advice is just not heeded and the site remains a risk, the surveyor would normally inform the HSE.
Under this pilot scheme, the surveyor could report the matter to the HSE complete with photo's enabling the HSE to carry out its own assessment and decide whether a site visit is required, or if there is enough evidence to carry out a desk-top prosecution. There will then be feedback mechanisms to the building control body confirming the HSE's actions.
The statistics speak for themselves, whilst the HSE has just five inspectors at its Luton office, building control bodies have in excess of 300 staff visiting nearly 12,000 sites across the region every week. This significantly increases the odds in favour of catching persistent offenders.
To accompany this, building control bodies will be working with the HSE to provide joint training and distribute information to our customers on health and safety issues. If successful the scheme could be rolled out to other areas.
Some people feel that this could be seen as building control becoming 'Big Brother', but with the level of deaths and accidents on site still remaining uncomfortably high, I see it as the building control profession doing its bit to improve the industry we all work in.
I will let you know how we get on!
PART G, HYGIENE My second piece of news is the recently issued consultation on a new Part G, Hygiene, which it is proposed to rename: 'Sanitation, Hot Water Safety and Water Efficiency' to reflect the revised scope of the Approved Document (AD).
The present AD G was last updated in 1992 although a number of non-technical amendments were made in 2000. Since 1992, plumbing and building practice has moved on, standards and legislation have changed and technology has developed. Both industry and the Government agree that the language and references need to be brought up to date, and that a number of other changes are required to reflect current Government policy.
It is proposed that in future, Part G will be split into seven different areas:
For the first time, specific demands are made on water efficiency, bringing the regulations more into line with the Code for Sustainable Homes. The full consultation can be viewed on the CLG website but you will have to be quick to respond as the closing date is 5 August 2008. HSE's actions.
May 2009
For builders across the UK, the need to be compliant with all things relating to health and safety has never been more important.
Having a sound health and safety policy can bring new opportunities and is something that in the current economic downturn, should be seriously considered.
According to Anthony Botibol, Marketing Manager at HBXL, being health and safety compliant is something builders can do very easily, especially if they make use of IT and software that produces all the relevant paperwork for any job at the click of a button.
New Law
The new Health & Safety Offences Act 2008 came into force on 16 January 2009.
Brought in to increase penalties, it provides courts with greater sentencing powers for those who break health and safety law and has three main points:
1. The Act has raised the maximum fi ne which may be imposed in the lower courts to £20,000 for most health and safety offences
2. It makes imprisonment an option for more health and safety offences in both the lower and higher courts
3. It makes certain offences, which are currently triable only in the lower courts, triable in either the lower or higher courts.
So builders must now be even more vigilant in the way they run their sites and businesses.
Commenting on the new Act Anthony said: "The introduction of this new Act sends out an important message to those who push the boundaries. Those who cut corners, fail to comply with health and safety law or who put workers and the public at risk should be very worried.
"Good builders though have nothing to fear and being compliant with health and safety doesn't mean they have to spend precious resources using specialists or investing their own time to make sure they're on the right side of the law. Instead, investing in software such as Health & Safety Xpert makes the whole process easy.
"Its built-in knowledge base determines the likely tasks and risks involved in the project for you. It cuts down the time it would normally take and is much cheaper than employing a health and safety consultant."
Lack of awareness
A survey carried out by HBXL showed that 47 percent of builders didn't know whether the CDM (Construction Design Management) Regulations 2007 applied to them and highlights a huge lack of understanding.
Anthony said: "The introduction of the new CDM regulations meant that all building companies have to adhere to the new updated CDM laws.
"The revised scheme was brought in to help reduce the regulatory burden on the construction industry and improve the level of health and safety but it seems there is still confusion about its application.
"The key objective of CDM 2007 was to simplify and clarify the regulations. It is often very diffi cult for building businesses to know where to start on health and safety, but it's important if they haven't already put plans in place to do so immediately.
"Health & Safety Xpert has been designed specifi cally to help builders comply with all health and safety paperwork and interprets the ACOP (Approved Code of Practice) for CDM 2007, producing all the necessary paperwork."
Opportunity to expand
Although the primary reason for having sound health and safety procedures is ensuring safety on site, Anthony believes it may also provide opportunities for builders to expand, and follows pressure by groups such as the FMB to fast track the planning process to release and designate land for social housing.
Should this happen, then, according to Anthony, the winners will be those who can submit the right health and safety paperwork during the tender process, and using Health & Safety Xpert will place them at the front of the queue when contracts are awarded.
He said: "The current financial climate could see the return of a lot more social housing as the Government plans to enable local authorities to build more affordable homes. This in turn should help both the construction industry and the economy.
"The FMB warned the Government not to forget the small builders, the 'backbone of the economy', when it comes to dealing out these new jobs.
"If you are one of those small builders it is also down to you to make sure that you are in a position to win the work by being able to submit health and safety paper work with your quote."

G30 vs G50 in terms of AD/DA
Like (0)
Hi there,
Do these two units have different analog to digital converters? Is that the reason why one of them has a slightly more noise floor? Has anyone compared the two products in terms of sound quality? Apart from noise (which is not an issue given that even quitest tube amp will have much more higher noise floor), do two units have different "feel" in terms of sound, response to the instrument, dynamics etc?
No. The G50 gives you a bit more transmit distance, a higher quality housing for the transmitter pack, more virtual guitar cable options, and more channels. I have found the sound quality itself to be the same.
So, my guess is, if you are playing in small clubs and stages, and you\re the only one wireless in the band and not fussy about plastic casing, G50 or G90 has no significant improvement over G30 in terms of sound quality. Right? I am excluding the extra features like cable emulations etc from the equation..
Correct. I have the G50 though, and I DO like how sturdy the housing for the TBP12 is. Built like a tank!
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Spidvid's Integration
So as far as we know UnleashVideo.com was the first video sharing website to allow more than 1 person to be part of video project. We have allowed this since we launched last year in May 2008 where any video creator could work with any editor, and then automatically give credit to the editor for the work they did on the video.
Our parent company Socially Collaborative Media Inc. has just recently released Spidvid, a site focused on connecting individuals together within the video production industry. Through these connections, collaborative teams can be formed to collectively produce quality video content. See these 2 visual models which will help you to better understand how this model works.
Since Spidvid is very new and in private beta, the first compatible video sharing site is our very own UnleashVideo.com. There are plans to broaden the distribution ecosystem but for now UnleashVideo is the destination to view, share, and engage with the content derived from Spidvid's creation and production community.
We don't expect any videos to be available until later this month or possbily not until next month, but certainly look forward to the creative new content soon. To keep yourself nicely updated on all new content, easily subscribe to our RSS feed.

I looked at many chandeliers on this website, and I purchased this one because it did not say it took candelabra bulbs and I was looking for a light that would really light up the room. I thought that I would be able to put regular bulbs into this fixture and that is why I purchased it. It looks nice in the room, but now that I am only realizing I need candelabra bulbs after someone already hung it for me, I guess I am stuck with it - would have liked more light! That being said, my only hesitation when buying it was the wire in the middle, and that proved to be no problem because there is a plastic tie which you can use to make it look straightened out down the center by tying it to the metal bar under the center bulb.
This light is over my very modern dining set and brings a little sparkle to the whole room without being grandmas chandelier. You could change the hanging glass droplets to crystals, too. excellent update, very reasonable
It is beautiful! I get many comments on it. Traditional and modern! Love love!
Great fixture for the price. The other reviews made me slightly worried about installation, but my husband and I found it fairly easy. This hangs over our dining room table and looks fabulous--great blend of modern and traditional!
Such a fantastic fixture! It looks like a million bucks over my table and really dresses up my dining room without going too far over the top. The crystals look terrific dangling beneath the gleaming white shade. I had it installed by a professional electrician and he claimed it was a bit tricky and it took him an hour to install. Highly recommend that you get a dimmer so you can adjust the amount of light to fit the mood. I've gotten lots of compliments on it and people are shocked when I reveal the low price. really happy with this purchase.
This product is beautiful online and just out of the package, but WOW once it is lit up..... Wonderful purchase, very happy!!!
Very attractive light. Looks like it cost a lot of $$$.
I love the look of this chandelier and I always get a ton of compliments on it. Not too hard to hang and really brings the room together.
great light! worth 10 times what we paid for it. NO ONE ever would guess it's from overstock and we paid so little for it!
the lamp is gorgeous and I can't believe the cost, so much less than I would have paid elsewhere

Dressed in a black leather punk jacket, Al Walser leans conspiratorially across a glass table in a Mid-Wilshire office suite. It's stacked with paperwork, golf clubs and a placard deeming the space an Honorary Consulate of the Principality of Liechtenstein. This is the home of Cut the Bull Entertainment, the production, management and marketing firm of this year's most improbable Grammy nominee.
"Have you read that book 'The Mouse That Roared'?" asks the aspiring music mogul from Liechtenstein. "It's about a tiny European nation who declares war on the U.S. to rebuild their country. And they win."
With no major record label backing him — but plenty of photos of himself posing with famous faces, including Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and even Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — Walser waged a campaign through social media and old-fashioned handshaking to earn enough votes for a Grammy nomination in the best dance recording category for his single, "I Can't Live Without You."
VOTE: Grammy awards play-at-home ballot
"I'm not doing anything that movie studios don't do at Oscar time," Walser says. "I'm not going to throw money around, but I have [Grammy voters] laser-targeted."
Walser was able to lobby Grammy voters directly as a member of Grammy365, a networking group for the Recording Academy that hosts year-round events. He was also an active participant on the 365 website, where his frequent posts reached more than 4,100 members who friended him.
"[I] would be more than so honored to have your vote," he wrote in one dispatch. "I put my heart and soul in to the production."
Walser was confident that the big hooks of "I Can't Live Without You" could compete with EDM (electronic dance music) superstars Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia — his fellow dance recording nominees — if voters only gave it a chance.
He was at home in the bedroom of his Encino condo on the night the Grammy nominations were announced. When he spotted his name on the list of nominees, he had to refresh the Grammy site three times before he believed the news.
TIMELINE: Grammy winners through the years
Surrounded by DJ equipment, his son's artwork and the white keytar he plays in the self-produced video for "I Can't Live Without You," Walser cried. "I called to my wife, and my 4-year-old was jumping around with me."
Surprise, disbelief
But among EDM insiders, Walser's nomination was seen as a cosmic joke. "This song got nominated for Best Dance Single @TheGrammys? Pls tell me this is Borat," tweeted dance producer Morgan Page.
"The song's clunky rock / trance fusion and low-budget video make Rebecca Black's 'Friday' sound and look cutting-edge in comparison," wrote Spin magazine's Philip Sherburne, "and a video of Walser performing looks like something 'Saturday Night Live' might come up with if it revived 'Sprockets' for the EDM era."
"From our vantage showcasing emerging talent in dance music, and booking DJ shows week in and week out, I can safely say that until the nomination came out I had never heard of Al Walser," said Damian Murphy of the influential electronic music club Avalon Hollywood.
A booker at downtown Los Angeles' the Vault confirmed that Walser had performed at that nightclub. But Erika Raney of the L.A. dance-music promoter Insomniac, with a 20-year history of producing EDM shows and events, including Electric Daisy Carnival, said, "We have never heard of nor have we booked this person to perform."
GRAMMYS 2013: Top nominees | Snubs & surprises
Bloggers initially suspected a hoax when it came out that Walser had lobbied for votes on the Grammy365 website.
But the Grammys' Bill Freimuth, vice president of awards at the Recording Academy, said Walser broke no rules and there are no suspicions of fraud.
"I think that people voted for him, that's how he won," said Freimuth, who affirms that Walser has been a voting member of the academy in good standing since 2008. "What he did was market himself aggressively."

Twin Cities Politicians Say Romney Won First Presidential Debate
Looking energetic and sounding "presidential," Mitt Romney turned back President Barack Obama in the first of three debates between the two men vying for the top office in the country. Our panel of local politicos weighed in late last night.
Former Gov. Mitt Romney looked less like a "frontrunner" and more like a man on the attack Wednesday night, emerging as the winner of the first presidential debate, according to participants in the area's "Red Twin Cities" and "Blue Twin Cities" surveys, conducted by Patches around the Minneapolis and St. Paul suburbs and exurbs.
The "flash" style polls were conducted just hours after the debate from Denver came to close.
Obama "missed his opporunity," according to one Democractic member of our panels. Another called him "rusty" in his first debate since winning two of the three presidential debates back in 2008.
Demcocrats were defensive of the president, not surprisingly. However, more than half of our pollsters said Mitt Romney won the night by a slim margin, with only two of our members saying Barack Obama won the night.
Half were neutral, with one saying Obama "had more substance" but Romney "had more fight."
"President Obama did not go after Mitt Romney on his lack of clarity on the Key Issues like the spending cuts, bank regulations and health care," said a DFLer.
Republicans were quick to say Romney was the clear-cut winner, with Minnesota GOPers lining up to say the candidate "looked like a true conservative" and "refuted" many of Obama's claims.
Of our respondents to the poll, done immediately after the debate, 75 percent said they felt Romney won by a slim to wide margin. The remaining 25 percent were neutral, or thought it was a draw. None of the Republicans felt their candidate lost the night.
A high point was "Romney going after Obama's subsidies for green energy, which could have instead hired teachers," an influencer said.
The Road Ahead
Republicans think Romney needs to keep it up in order to "have a chance" on the first Tuesday of November.
"America got to see Romney's grasp of the obvious [issues]," one Republican sated.
Another said Romney needs as good of a performance in the next two debates, set for Oct. 16 and Oct. 22.
"He needs to come out ahead," the political influencer added.
Democrats thought the debate probably tightened a race that had been tilting Obama's way in most polls last month. Half said the debate did not increase his chances of winning.
Still, the message needs to spread, Democrats said, that Romney's debate points differed from his campaign points.
"Look at what he's saying on the campaign vs. what he said last night. Totally different," one said.

It's obvious who won the presidential debate, Mitt Romney. I was a strong Obama supporter but not anymore. Obama does not understand simple economics and because of this lack of understanding, he simply is not able to improve our sluggish economy. Also, I'm more than tired of seeing Barack apologize to Middle eastern terrorist about that Islamic film that was released and is "claimed" by the Obama administration the film caused the killings of several ambassadors at our Libya Embassy. This is hogwash. It's clear Obama's definition of "transforming" America includes doing away with our Constitution and civil liberties that we all enjoy.
11:53 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
How could you possibly say these things and have EVER been a "strong Obama supporter?"
Joseph Robert

Kathy, face it! You were never a "strong Obama supporter."
You are a paid, Romney campaign worker!
Dennis Anderson

Please don't miss-represent yourself as a former Obama supporter. If you think total deregulation of the banking industry will solve our economic problems, study the Great Depression. If you think deregulation of the energy industry will create thousands of new jobs, look to China with its lack regulation and the thick cloud of pollution that can be seen is satellite photos. Want to have US troops fighting in yet another war in the Middle East, then vote for Mitt Romney.

+1 Kathy. CNN, MSNBC, and even Letterman admitted Mitt clearly won the debate.
Obama struggled to defend his "government can solve any problem" stance. Whether it was on the subject of the economy, jobs, healthcare, education, over and over Romney effectively explained Obama and the government has failed.
As usual the debate moderator was quick to cut Mitt off and change the subject when he was making good points. As usually Obama had more time to not only explain himself but go into his long winded utopian stories of some random person who made it through tough times on his government programs. But I'm sure Obama wouldn't show up to a fair debate, let alone one that'd give Mitt the extra five minutes to talk.
11:55 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Were you watching the same debate? Romney kept ignoring his own time limits!
Nick Caron, Paul Tuschy for MN House Campaign Manager
8:45 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Obama looked uncomfortable, which seems odd considering he's on TV practically 24/7.
11:58 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
PRESIDENT Obama is on tv practically 24/7 because he's the PRESIDENT. And his job is to be presidential.
Carol Turnbull
11:30 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Kathy Rendall says "I was a strong Obama supporter but not anymore. Obama does not understand simple economics..." From that I'm quite sure you are an expert in economic complexities; however, you don't understand simple current events. "Several ambassadors" were not killed at our "Libya Embassy." There is only one ambassador per country. And the tragedy happened at a Consulate, not the Embassy. You say, "It's clear Obama's definition of 'transforming' America includes doing away with our Constitution and civil liberties that we all enjoy." Sorry, that's not clear to me, Kathy. Can you provide some examples? I myself am "more than tired" of hearing people rage away at Obama on the basis of chain e-mails, or FOX news, or whatever, with no facts to back them up. (And when were you an Obama supporter, exactly? When you thought he might have a magic wand to wave and thus spare us a slow recovery from the economic mess we presented him with?)
Joseph Robert

Top fact checkers and leading media outlets like the Associated Press and FactCheck.org have shown that Romney lied at least 27 times in the 38 minutes that he spoke. I thought the Republican Party was the party of integrity.
With all of Romney's lying, how can American voters expect him to honestly run the country?
They can't !
12:25 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
I can't believe you think Obamna is telling the truth when he says everything is going great. Check with your freinds and neighbors to find out how things are going. Be careful who you believe as "fact checkers". The liberal media will publish anything if it will help Obama get re-elected. Acording to Obama, if he disagrees with Romney, Romney must be lying. Have your so called "fact checkers" verify the promises made by Obama to the actual results. The issue in Libya should be that the U.S. knew the risks in Libya long before the incident. Had the U.S. withdrawn these people when they should have, they would still be alive. In a sense our own government must accept some of the responsibility for the deaths.

"We are going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent. " – Mitt Romney, Republican politician and presidential candidate
"I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut, of the scale you are talking about."

"He's certainly being dishonest about his own record! When he says that he had the endorsement of the NRA, he did not. When he says he didn't raise taxes, and in fact, there were $500 million in fees raised during this time. When he talks about my record or John McCain's. "He's making up stuff, it's just incredible. In Arkansas, we call it DISHONESTY."
- Mike Huckabee, Fox News commentator and former Governor
P.S - Sound familiar with Romney's very dishonest tactics -- 27 lies in 38 minutes -- speaking in the first debate with Obama! Yep, Romney lies a lot!
6:55 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Armine, where in the debate did the President say that "everything was going great," and I don't believe he said that "if he disagrees with Romney, Romney must be lying." Did you WATCH the debate? There was no "liberal media" there, only two men and a moderator, and to be fair, they each ran over their time limits. As for Libya, in spite of what many people believe, government workers often face dangerous conditions, but they do so because it is their job and their duty. (And something to think about when complaining about paying out pensions.)
Joseph Robert
4:46 pm on Tuesday, October 9, 2012

"If you can't beat your opponent's ideas, you distort those ideas and maybe make some up. If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run away from."
- Barack Obama, October 27th, 2008.

Published September 1, 2007.
We wanted a lighter, quicker scalloped potato recipe for weeknight dinners. Although we used traditional russet potatoes to form tight, cohesive layers, we used a 50:50 ratio of canned chicken broth and heavy cream to offset the heaviness of the dish. We parboiled the sliced potatoes in the chicken broth–heavy cream mixture on top of the stove, then poured the whole mixture into a casserole dish and finished it in the oven.
The quickest way to slice the vegetables is in a food processor fitted with an 1/8-inch slicing blade. If the potatoes are too long to fit into the feed tube, halve them crosswise and put them in the feed tube cut-side down so that they sit on a flat surface. If the potato slices discolor as they sit, put them in a bowl and toss with a couple tablespoons of the cream and chicken broth. If you like, use Parmesan instead of cheddar.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).
Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I'm pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.
Thanks for your consideration,

Mavericks 103, Cavaliers 95: Mavs pull away in fourth
The Cavaliers put in three grueling days drilling and working on their defense this week.
What happened Saturday in a 103-95 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in front of 18,633 at Quicken Loans Arena?
They allowed the Mavericks to shoot almost 60 percent from the field in the fourth quarter, which contributed to the Cavs' fifth consecutive defeat.
"The biggest thing is what we're doing on the defensive end," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "It's not carrying over."
Scott pushed and prodded the Cavs in the three practice days this week. They did extensive film studies. In the end, however, the Mavericks (6-5) became the sixth team in the last seven games to shoot 50 percent or better against the Cavs' porous defense.
Dallas shot 51.4 percent from the field, including 43.5 percent from behind the arc.
The Cavs (2-7) got a big scare with 6 minutes, 54 seconds left in the third quarter when leading scorer Kyrie Irving went to the locker room to have his left hand checked. He returned to start the fourth quarter with a bruise on his left index finger. Irving, the Cavs' leading scorer, had surgery on his right hand last summer.
Irving led all scorers with 26 points — 10 after he returned in the fourth. Strangely enough, though, he failed to get a rebound or an assist.
"I'm getting through it," he said. "It's really bruised right now. It hurts a lot, but I'm going to get through it."
He said he thought he hit it on Mavs guard Darren Collison's foot. Continued...
"I'm not feeling comfortable with my left hand right now," Irving said. "I only had one hand, so I was trying to force shots over (7-footer) Chris Kaman."
The Cavs feel he's having an All-Star start to the season.
The Cavs trailed by two points, 75-73, after three quarters. They were outscored, 28-22, in the fourth quarter.
"We have to keep doing it," Scott said. "They've got to get it sooner or later. We have to keep teaching."
Scott said the biggest problem is the Cavs' communication. That's been plaguing them for three years, he said.
Kaman hurt the Cavs inside with 15 points and eight rebounds.
O.J. Mayo paved the way for Dallas with 19 points.
Cavs center Anderson Varejao, coming off a career-high 35 points against New Jersey, couldn't find the basket. He was 2 of 11 from the field for four points and seven rebounds. He had trouble shooting over Kaman, who blocked six shots.
The Cavs' bench has struggled all season. Guard Daniel Gibson had 16 points and five rebounds off the bench Saturday. Forward Omri Casspi added five points and five rebounds.
Still, the Cavs' reserves were outscored, 45-24, by Dallas. Veteran Vince Carter fired in 14 points off the bench for the Mavs (6-5). Continued...
Cavs swingman Alonzo Gee finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. Power forward Tristan Thompson was active around the basket with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
Rookie guard Dion Waiters added 16 points for the Cavs, but shot 4 of 16 from the field.
Cavs backup center Tyler Zeller returned after a four-game absence with a concussion and broken cheekbone. He wore a protective mask. He finished with three points and two rebounds in 26 minutes. … Mayo found a home in Dallas after four seasons in Memphis. "We needed a starting shooting guard," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. "He wanted to be in Dallas. He's done a great job so far. He's a student of the game. I don't know what happened every day in Memphis. We had a strong need for someone to start at that position. The timing was right." The free-agent acquisition came into Saturday's game leading the Mavs in scoring at 21.5 per game.

Marquette's bylaws stipulate that the Board of Trustees be comprised of not fewer than 25 and not more than 40 members, of whom no fewer than five and no more than eight must be members of the Society of Jesus. The university's president serves ex-officio as a member of the board. The board is self-perpetuating, meaning that trustees are responsible for electing new members. Trustees serve for three-year terms and may be re-elected to serve for a maximum of 12 years. Trustees are volunteers and are not compensated for their service.
The board holds in trust Marquette's human, physical, and financial and assets for future generations. The trustees are stewards of Marquette's Catholic and Jesuit identity. They establish policies on university strategy, financial management, fundraising, investments, property and assets. The board is responsible for hiring and evaluating the university's president. The day-to-day administration of Marquette is the responsibility of the university president and his leadership team.

uniQue, inQuisitive, and uneQualed – @mQtodd is the Quintessential friend
Aside from the fro'd out green hairdo, the Q was the first thing that jumped out at me when I met Michael Q Todd on Twitter. I mean, how many people have a middle name that starts with Q, right? After getting to know him a bit better, I finally popped the question (No, not THAT question… I'm already married). Admittedly, I was expecting the answer to be Quentin or another somewhat obscure name but his response took me by surprise.
The Q wasn't a name given to him by his parents, remember, Michael is uniQue. He bestowed the Q, short for Qi, upon himself after an expedition to China that likely saved his life, or at least how he lived it. Qi 氣,by its ancient Chinese roots, is translated as life force or energy flow. You see, he was diagnosed with Reiters Syndrome (a debilitating, acute arthritic disorder) and was told by a top NYC rheumatologist that he would never walk again in 1996. But if you know MQT, you know he didn't take that diagnosis lying down.
While most would have succumbed to their Doctor prescribed fate, Michael traveled to China sought out masters of Chi Gung (Qigong 氣功) in an effort to heal himself. This practice has been existence for over 4000 years and is a method of aligning one's body with their mind through extensive coordinated breathing and rhythmic movements. If you've seen any of Michael Q's video's, you know that he is fully healed. Talk about inspiring!
Usually, these awards are heavily based on accomplishments in Social Media. In the case, though, the Living Legend award is a reminder that there are things WAY bigger than social media. If you've had two near death experiences like Michael has, you deserve some recognition!! One of the most endearing aspects about MQT is how unwaveringly positive he is. Now that you have better knowledge of his back-story, you can probably understand why he is so upbeat. He doesn't sweat the small stuff. He is now devoted to giving back, and is particularly chivalrous when it comes to the environment and sea life. Bottom line, you'll be hard pressed to find someone more deserving of karma than him.
Since his network is so large, there's a strong chance you already know Michael. That's great! Make sure you share how much he means to you in the comments below. If you're not familiar with him, or don't know him that well, here are a couple links to get closer to him. He did all the work for you – check out his XeeMe profile to connect with him on ALL of the different platforms. Then, click here and subscribe to his blog… or at least bookmark it. After all, he is probably one of smartest social media minds on the planet. We here at The So Genius Blog would also like to extend our deepest gratitude for all the support you've given us as well. Thank you for all that you do, Michael.

We wish we'd made more, but this product is SOLD OUT.
From poolside to putting green, you'll love the style and sun protection of this finely woven toyo straw Panama hat. Trimmed with a striped grosgrain ribbon band and sporting a side signature accent, it's a dapper addition that's fit for any fairway or sandy beach in the world.
- Hat: Grade 3 Panama
- Band: Grosgrain ribbon
- Snap brim shape
- Brim: 1.75"
- Elastic inner headband
- One size fits most
- Imported
Snap Brim Straw Panama Hat
Great hat and fit, durable as well.
Over the years I have purchased several Panama Hats. I've bought them in Los Angeles, Mexico and yes, even in Panama. None of them ever seemed to hold their shape or retain their original style. They quickly broke down or began to show wear. I love this Panama that I've purchased from Tommy Bahama. It is well made and retains it's shape and style. It's durability allows me to wear this daily if I care to. A hat that looks good as well as being comfortable is very important to me. The inner band is extremely comfortable and lends itself to a perfect fit. I've gotten many a compliment wearing this hat. I can wear this to the beach or just walking around town. It is by far, the best Panama Hat I've ever owned.
September 29, 2012
Best fedora I ever had
Fit is terrific, snug but not tight!
Holds up great. I left it out in the rain...kept its shape and good looks.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Company Profile
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. is a private-equity pioneer that traces its origins to the founders' time at Bear Stearns in the 1960s where they orchestrated some of the first large leveraged buyouts. In 1976, Jerome Kohlberg, Jr., Henry Kravis and George R. Roberts broke away from Bear and formed KKR. Kohlberg left in 1987, but Kravis and Roberts still lead the firm today. The company has branched out from its roots as a leveraged-buyout house to become an investment bank, helping to underwrite deals, invest in infrastructure and manage clients' investment assets.
The company went public with a "back door" filing for its Amsterdam-listed affiliate fund and plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010. The listing is expected to provide a large capital base to fuel its growth, provide a currency to make acquisitions, and diversify away from leveraged buyouts since the environment for raising funds is now challenging. The company plans to extend its brand by expanding into the traditional money management business investing in public equities, as well as expand its capital markets business that helps sell the debt and equity of companies. In a first for KKR, the company was recently one of the lead underwriters on the initial public offering for Dollar General, thanks to a new alliance with mutual-fund giant Fidelity Investments to sell off shares to the general public.
KKR first entered the general public's awareness with its contentious takeover of RJR Nabisco, which inspired the 1990 book "Barbarians at the Gate" and a made-for-TV movie.
KKR made several hires in 2009, expanding in the Mideast, opening a Dubai office and hiring Richmond Park Partners founder Stephen Berger, who had led Dresdner Kleinwort's investment bank.
For the folks who inspired "Barbarians at the Gate," they do a lot of talking about their values. KKR's core values are outlined in detail on its Web site. By the way, Barbarians is required reading for any serious candidate.
When you interview with KKR, make sure to check the Web site's robust employee profile section to learn about the KKR team member you'll be interviewing with.

Baze took it easily. atlok wasn't bad, but his Z killed it.
Baze is starting to look like fezat
Whaaat, Fezat has way more than one style
Anyway, I did a sketch for this battle too.. but I did my full name 'Zofone' so it didn't get entered.. oh wells
