A classic '60s bass that anyone can afford.Epiphone presents the EB-0, a stunning recreation of the vintage marvel that has the tone and feel of the original without the vintage price tag and vintage problems. Based on the world renowned SG guitar body style, the Epiphone EB-0 takes great playability and simplicity to a new level. It's got a mahogany body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a shortened 30.5" scale, making this also a good choice for younger players. A Sidewinder pickup in the neck position provides a thick, ground rattling sound. A 3-point adjustable bridge and vintage-style tuners round out this bass' vibe. Case not included.

Comments about Epiphone EB-0 Bass Guitar:
Just happened by my local Sam Ash store with no intention of buying anything when I noticed the EB0 was on clearance. I had been considering an inexpensive solid body to back up my hollow body bass. The hollow body is not the most ideal for the snappy-poppy stuff. I was most surprised with the quality and sound of this intrument. The short scale neck fits my hands well and the weight is not bad for a solid body. I will be gigging with this bass very often.
With the price, it would also be a great starter instrument for new players.

Comments about Epiphone EB-0 Bass Guitar:
I've been playing for a few years, not long enough to really be considered "experienced", but the EB0 is probably the best bass I own in this cost range. It's a solid bass, nice and comfortable, and the short scale is something I like, because my hands are smallish.
The tone of the bass is comparable to a P-bass, with a nice chunky humbucker right at the top of the neck in a nice sweet spot and has a nice and warm sound that is great when Nylon Tapewounds or flatwounds are added to the bass, however, it can get a good bit of punch if you play with Stainless Steel Roundwounds as well. I typically play with Fender Tapewounds or Elixer Roundwounds, depending on what I'm expected to do.
The deep sound is perfect for Rock and Metal. I play in a Shoegaze band, and it's got a good sound that compliments the rest of the band perfectly, but is still rather distinctive under the effects used by the guitars and of course, my own, when I play this, I know it's my EB0, instead of my J-Bass or my Ibanez 5-string soundgear even under Distortion and a Ring Modulator.
I highly recommend this bass to anybody who needs a short scale bass that is solid, deep sounding and a pleasure to play in a live setting, it's a distinctive bass in looks, sound and is easy on the wallet, what's not to like?

Strings hit frets often when strumming. Easily comes out of tune. Flat sound. Should use for practicing purposes only.

Comments about Epiphone EB-0 Bass Guitar:
I don't own it but, I played it once at my local music shop. It's huge humbucker gives a good solid tone sorta like a P pickup only deeper, I am really a pick player but, at the time I didn't have one on me so I used my fingers man it was deep. I thing this bass is great it has solid woods, great pickup and electronics and a really cool SG shape that metalhead punks like me lust after. Here's it's only flaw it's short scale (30" instead of 34").

The departure of a chief executive begins a transition period that presents both challenges and opportunities for organizations. If the departure is an unplanned change, such as death, illness, leaving for another job, or termination, the organization may feel that it is in a crisis that requires that an executive search be conducted immediately.
Unfortunately, the organization may not be ready because of urgent pressing business, operational challenges, merger discussions, or financial challenges.
Professional interim executives offer highly qualified executives who can assess and improve operations, stabilize staffing, and address critical issues preventing the organization from achieving its mission.

Five years ago, I was firmly in Andreessen's second group: the non-coders. We had written an 80-page spec for a prototype and, since we didn't know how to implement any of it, we handed it to an outsourcer. Six painful months later, we knew the outsourcers weren't working out.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by KSchirm13 Best Distance Running Shoe Ever! This is my first pair of Boost running shoes. It is a great distance running shoe: comfortable, light, provides tons of shock absorption and keeps your body feeling energized mile after mile. It fits true to size and has a generous toe box area. Future generations will wonder how we used to run on anything else. Based on my use so far, I don't think I would use these for higher intensity running drills like 200s or shorter, but for its intended use, you can't beat it. Construction of the shoe is very high quality, with premium blending of materials and nicely executed 3D effect with 3 stripes and logo on the tongue and heal cap. May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by johhhn I couldn't be more impressed... I never thought I'd love a pair of shoes so much but these shoes are something special. Initially I felt they were a bit odd and different, not in a bad way but something I wasn't used to. I really enjoyed the light weight and how incredibly comfortable they were. I love being able to wear them without socks and my feet are very comfortable. The first two days I was only walking in them around work but.. The magic happened when I finally went for a run. I wore minimalist running shoes before and the pure boost are on a completely different level. I could run longer, harder, and faster. I felt the shoe gave an incredible amount of support and comfort which most minimalist shoes don't seem to offer. My running shoes are now my every day shoes and I couldn't be more satisfied. May 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jrob8 Amazing Shoe, just need larger sizes This is probably the best shoe i have ever tried on. It is too bad this shoe runs small and the biggest size available is 12.5...I wear a 12 usually but since these run small i tried a 12.5 they were extremely comfortable but still small..probably the most comfortable shoe i have ever put on. Adidas you have created a god like shoe; however, its too small...please make a larger size. Would be a five star from me but you don't make a large enough shoe for me. It would be amazing if i could fully experience these shoes. Please make a size 13. With all respects, Jrob8 June 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tribe665 MARSHMALLOWS I work on concrete floors all day, walking close to 5 miles a day. These shoes are like walking on beds of squishy marshmallow wonderment. I am sure if i round housed someone in the face with these on, they would thank me for the soft, gentle embrace of encouragement the sole of this shoe provides. Four of my co- workers have made the same investment in their soles! 3 X45 degrees for life! June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MyAdidas1985 Legit Every bit as good as the reviews and hype and then some. Boost is the real deal. Comfortable and semi-lightweight(not as light as dedicated running shoes), these shoes are perfect for someone looking for an active lifestyle shoe with some class. Premium materials that seem very durable too. Can't say enough good things about them. My ONLY complaint; and I do mean only, as these shoes are by far the greatest shoes I've ever owned and worn; is the insole has holes to allow you to see the boost material. I would have preferred a smooth bottom. Highly recommend these to anyone who stands, walks, runs, breaths....truly THAT good! May 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Shadowhawkxor13 Quite Possibly the Best Casual Shoe Ever They are extremely comfortable I love them from the second I tried them on. Boost is definately a revolution in cushioning. They support my feet and the foam feels stable even when doing serious running and they are great for casual everyday wear. Thank you Adidas for making such a great shoe. I totally recommend them for causal use, the only problem is that the cutouts in the insole dig into your foot after running long distances. While its cool that you can see the Boost foam from the insole, if you do alot of running in them then the cutouts in the insole causes blisters :( so I took one star away. If they can fix that then the next shoe should be even better!!!! June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tbob THESE SHOES ARE LEGIT Adidas has out done them selves! The pure boosts are amazing, and BY FAR the most comfortable shoe I have EVER owned! Yes, these are a competitor to the Nike "Roshe Run", BUT the adidas pure boosts are by far better and more comfortable. The mesh-like upper is super stretchy, and breathable. The adidas stripes are applied with heat so no stitching except on the accents. The pure boost midsole is absolutely perfect! It is like walking on clouds. You feel as if you are not wearing a shoe at all... My only complaint is the sole having little traction. But other than that nicely done adidas! June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by M-Sal More comfortable then an airmax As someone who regularly wears nikes specifically flyknit s and airmaxs I was skeptical about the boost technology . After wearing these I'm a believer , immensely more comfortable and breathable . If your hesitating to try these don't . I found I'm more comfortable in a half size smaller then my normal nike size . May 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by JT0000 The almost perfect shoe I purchased these shoes and my first though was wow. The Boost technology is amazing. Never felt anything like it on my feet. Unfortunately, at the end of a day, to and from work (I don't walk much at work) the shoes became unbearable. Adidas made a huge design flaw with the tongue of the shoe. It was almost too stiff causing it to drive into my ankles, which started out to be irritating and eventually unbearable. Shoes went back. Everything else on the shoe was fantastic. Upon returning the shoes, the sales clerk indicated that there a number of returns for the same reason. I can't believe being a newer generation of the Boost shoes, that Adidas could make such a big mistake. I would stick with the Energy Boost. Not as much of the Boost technology, but no irritating tongue. May 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Afterdark321 Best pair of shoes I've ever owned!! These shoes are unbelievably comfortable, they also look amazing and "Go" with almost anything. These are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned, I highly recommend these shoes. Overall AMAZING shoe! June 21, 2014

FlyWad again, you get now the question. Hey how cool is this, this is a one of those build stocking caps, I just put a stocking cap over the top of my head.
What do you always mean when you say, "Don't pace yourself?"
When you pace yourself, you're lowering your intensity in order to accommodate more repetition. So pacing is necessarily at a lowering intensity and gonna be a higher amount of reps. You pace yourself when you gonna run a mile because you can't sprint a mile. And if you are training to be a faster sprinter then you don't wanna run a mile, you don't wanna run at a slow pace, set a pace at all. You don't want to pace yourself at all. You wanna increase how fast your top velocity is.
So when I say don't pace yourself, I mean don't lower your intensity to accommodate more repetition. Instead, cut the set off. Say you are doing eight reps; let's say at rep four your intensity drops off. Stop right there. Instead of doing to set eight, do two sets of four. Then you are doing eight reps at a highest intensity possible rather than eight reps at a lower intensity.
So it's gonna be better for your results if every single rep is at the highest possible intensity.
So hope that answers your question. Quit pacing.

We seemed to spend a large amount of our time queuing, either for food ! My husband is in a wheelchair so I had to queue for his food, 1 item at a time, then repeat the process for myself. The dining room service was excellent at night on our regular table with our waiters and wine steward very friendly and helpful. The same could not be said for lunch and dinner where we had delays of up to an hour to get served. The food in the Windjammer was poor, more like a cafeteria than what we expected and often barely warm. Not a patch on food we enjoyed on previous cruises. On the last day I tried 3 different dishes and was unable to eat any of them. They were absolutely tasteless! None of the food resembled dishes shown on the Royal Carribean video! Most days I had salad for lunch and dinner, the salads were very good. The coffee - well could it be called that? It ranged from average to so bad I couldn't tell if it was coffee or tea! Dining room food was better although the selection could be improved. Desserts were very disappointing on the whole. Room service was extremely slow, we waited 1hr and 20 mins for breakfast one day, then it was cold and inedible when we finally got it! They also ran out of things, no marmalade after the first few days although it appeared again for the last 2 days. Also, no crackers for the cheese platters and no substitute offered either. The platters would have been great apart from that, with 4 nice cheeses and grapes and nuts, but who wants to eat cheese on its own? Even some bread would have helped.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 7. It was handy to the lifts which was a help to us. Our cabin steward was excellent, always greeting us by name and very helpful. He kept our room spotless. It was comfortable with everything we needed including a kettle to make tea . The bar staff were also very good. They were happy to adapt cocktails for me as I am allergic to pineapple and coconut.
There were long waits for lifts as they were too full to take a wheelchair. Might I suggest a dedicated lift for the disabled as there were many aboard and no one was prepared to leave to allow disabled people to get on. Many people we spoke to were disappointed with the standard of entertainment, more suited to a pub than a cruise. However, the ports were great and we loved the visit to the sounds. These made the trip worthwhile.
Disembarking was a problem. We were directed to deck for where assistance was promised to aid the disabled. However there was no one to help us and the other people who were also waiting. We made our own way in the end as they kept calling our number. We then got assistance to locate our luggage and get out to the taxis.
In spite of the problems we encountered we did enjoy the trip overall and will cruise again. However, we will have to seriously consider travelling with Royal Carribean again although we are platinum members.

Lemon-Thyme Bread Recipe
Lemon and thyme go together like milk and cookies. Fresh thyme is best, but if you must use dried, reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon and crush it between your fingers before adding it to the batter.—Cathy Tang, Redmond, Washington
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine buttermilk and sour cream. Combine the flour, thyme, lemon peel, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Transfer to a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Cool completely; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).
LEMON-THYME MINI LOAVES: Use three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. LEMON-THYME MUFFINS: Make batter as directed; fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Yield:1 dozen muffins. LEMON-THYME MINIATURE MUFFINS: Make batter as directed; fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Yield: 4 dozen miniature muffins. LEMON-THYME ICING: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme and 3 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice, as needed, to achieve a drizzling consistency. Yield: 2 tablespoons. LEMONY CREAM CHEESE: In a small bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, 4 teaspoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel; beat until smooth. Yield: 1 cup.

The Democrat-led state Legislature put the constitutional amendment on the ballot after failing to strike a deal with Republican Gov. Chris Christie on the changes.
The wage is to go up by $1, to $8.25 hourly on Jan. 1. It also calls for automatic increases every Sept. 1 based on cost-of-living changes.
Business owners say they'll be forced to lay off workers, cut employee hours or raise prices to compensate for having to pay a higher minimum wage. They also say they'll be hamstrung by the constitutional amendment if there is another economic recession.
The state's AFL-CIO union and Working Families United for New Jersey had backed the measure.

Anthropology & Sociology
West Chester University
Associate Professor of Sociology
Dr. Jacqueline Zalewski's Biography
I have ongoing scholarly interests in the growing contingencies workers face in their jobs and employment relations. This is because of my background. I grew up in Kenosha, WI. Similar to industrial-based cities in PA like Reading, Allentown, and Pittsburgh, a significant proportion of Kenosha's population worked in durable goods and automobile production industries. This was until the ball dropped in the 1970s and early 1980s, when many auto and industrial workers in Kenosha experienced job loss. What happened to Kenosha's auto and industrial workers was part of a larger social and economic process scholars call deindustrialization. Kathryn Dudley, a cultural anthropologist from Kenosha, does an excellent job with interviews of unemployed auto workers there, and she discusses the shift from a "culture of the hands" to a "culture of the mind" in her award winning book The End of the Line: Lost Jobs, New Lives in Post-Industrial America (1994).
Through the 1970s, I grew up as part of the "working class" in Kenosha and this culture has had a significant effect on shaping my research interests in changes in work and organizations and technology in the workplace (a prime culprit in the reengineering of work, producing greater employment contingencies, and the job losses described above). For my master's thesis, I conducted ethnographic research of blue-collar temporary work. For my PhD, I interviewed information technologists and human resource professions about the outsourcing of their work.
The shift to a post-industrial economy, in part, provided an opportunity for me to break from my blue-collar background and earn a BA, MA, and PhD in Sociology. I was also lucky to have a great set of scholarly mentors along the way. They are Dr. Gerhard Schutte, Dr. Lauren Langman, Dr. Marilyn Krogh, Dr. Peter Whalley (deceased), and Dr. Leigh Shaffer. I am very grateful to them. Their inspiring mentorship has fostered my recent scholarly interests in academic and career advising.
My Current Scholarly Projects (updated December 2013)
Currently, I am working with several students on my outsourcing research. We are working on:
· updating, presenting, and publishing two papers. One paper, "Working, the Job, and Postindustrial Careers With Outsourcing: Theorizing About Job Quality and Loss," has been accepted for presentation at the Labor and Employment Relations Conference, in Philadelphia (January 3-5, 2014). We are presenting a second paper that is titled, "The Social Consequences and Costs of Reorganizing Work with IN-HOUSE Outsourcing" at the Eastern Sociological Society meeting in Baltimore in February 2014.
· writing a book proposal. My book will describe the effects of outsourcing on professionals and their work and will include chapters on changes to: the scope of their work, employment conditions, the culture, and social relations in the workplace.
Also I, along with colleague Dr. Miguel Ceballos, are beginning a new long-term project on the career tracks and transitions of our West Chester University Sociology majors. This project will support the Department of Anthropology and Sociology (e.g., with future academic and career advising, curricula planning, and development in the department, and faculty pedagogy in the classroom). It will also be a scholarly vehicle for us and several student research assistants. We expect to present and publish the findings from this research at academic and career advising forums. This project has been approved by West Chester University's Institutional Review Board.

Ever wonder if you really lose most of your heat through your head? Or if a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup will warm your innards on a cold day?
We've talked to an expert on staying warm through the winter, and here's what he said.
An electric blanket: 4 � flames
It will be a little warmer than our body temperature and transfer heat into the body via conduction.
Sitting in front of a fireplace: 4 flames
It reduces the temperature gradient and may even tip it in your favor through radiation and heat transfer.
A down comforter: 3 flames
Increases insulation and retains as much heat as the body is producing normally, preventing radiation and conduction heat loss.
A cat sitting on your lap: 1 flame
The surface area between the cat and your lap is small, so very little conduction heat transfer exists. Besides, our skin temperature is close to that of a cat's. Barney might be getting the better end of the deal.
Running your hands under hot water: 1/2 flame
You gain heat through conduction and convection heat transfer. But your hands have very little surface area, so you're better off taking a hot bath.
Drinking a hot beverage: 1/2 flame
This has almost no effect. That's because the volume of the body is so much larger than the volume of a cup of coffee, so it makes just a small contribution. But it probably feels good going down, especially with a smidge of Bailey's Irish Cream.
Cuddle with a loved one: 5 flames
Ahh, this is a no-brainier. Not only will you share heat through conduction, but the fluffy comforter will block radiation and conduction heat loss. And maybe even get someone to make you dinner, too.
Source: Professor Prof. David Avreril of Commonwealth Medical College
Keeping warm in the cold is simply a matter of preventing heat loss, according to Professor David Avreril of the Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton. He teaches physiology to first-year medical students.
Your body is a heat producer — the heat is a byproduct from various metabolic processes in our bodies. We eat stuff and burn it up. That generates heat, Avreril said.
But to prevent heat loss, we first must understand how we lose heat.
Our bodies constantly transfer heat to the environment around us through a temperature gradient — the difference between our body's temperature and our immediate surroundings. If the air around us is colder, we lose heat to the air until the air and our bodies are the same temperature.
We lose heat in four ways.
First, we radiate heat. It's the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic energy. Think of the sun's rays traveling invisibly from space to your lounge chair by the pool. Your body loses heat the same way, by radiating it. Block the waves and you'll stop the heat loss.
Radiation heat transfer is the most common way our body loses heat. The best way to prevent it is to cover up, insulate yourself and keep those waves from escaping your body.
The second way we lose heat is through conduction — by having physical contact with another body. An example is sitting on a rock that feels cold. Again, temperature gradient heat moves from the warm body to the colder rock.
The amount of heat transfer is a function of the surface area between the body and the rock. The bigger the rock surface that contacts your body, the greater your heat loss.
Convection heat transfer is the third way we lose heat, and this is important.
Remember, our bodies lose heat to the surrounding cool air by warming it and narrowing the gradient between us and the air.
Now, imagine the wind is blowing, and the air your body just warmed is constantly being blown away and replaced with new, unheated air. The gradient increases again and you feel colder. This is what's known as the wind chill factor. Your body loses even more heat.
The final process is evaporative heat transfer. It's when we lose heat from within our body as it converts water to water vapor. That takes a lot of energy, Avreril said. But it's a particularly good way to cool the body down.
One example is sweating. But in the winter, we lose heat by producing water vapor in another way — by talking.
"When we breathe, we actually lose some heat because some of the water in our airways can be converted to a gas," Avreril said. "So every time we breathe, we lose heat."
Cover your mouth in the cold and exhale and you'll know what we mean. Losing heat through breathing isn't a good way for people to cool down, but it's very effective for dogs since they can't lose heat through their fur.
So, how do we stay warm while we are walking from our car to the mall?
Increasing the insulation around you reduces the amount of heat we lose through radiation, conduction and convection, Avreril said. That's why having a good coat is really important.
Do we really lose most of our heat through our heads?
Yes and no.
The head is no different than any other body part, and remember: The heat loss is a function of the exposed surface area.
But what do we do when we go out in the cold? We put on a jacket. Yet we often leave our heads bare, therefore causing our greatest heat loss.
It's no different than if you forgot your gloves, although the hands involve a lot less surface area, and therefore less heat loss.
So what's the good professor's best advice for staying warm during these frigid winter months?
"Don't go out when it's really cold and windy," he said.
Why didn't we think of that?

Workshop with The Spessart Highlanders
October 17th, 2009 Comments off
After having such a great time with Wallace Bagpipes during their Scotland tour in May, The Spessart Highlanders immediately started to organise a workshop in their hometown Aschaffenburg, Germany with Craig Munro & our European agent David Johnston from the Pipers Corner Shop.
A fantastic time was had by all and a 2010 workshop is already being organised.

At Sallie Curtis elementary in Beaumont, the dads are creating something completely original called "Watch D.O.G.S.".
D.O.G.S. stands for dads of great students.
The organization is a way for the fathers to be role models for all students during school hours.
On some mornings, you will see dads greeting students as they walk in the front door at school.
During lunch, you will see the dads eating with the students. They also spend time with them during class and help them with their school work.
"We come to the school and we interact with the children. We get to read to them in the library. We give them high fives at lunch time. We get to hand out stickers at lunch," said David Janecek.Russell Miller is also in the group. He's originally from out of state and thinks the success of this organization is spreading."I told my people back in Georgia about what this program is and what it does for kids and how fun it is for the parents. I love it," he said.It's at school where dads get the chance to portray a positive fatherly image to not only their own children but to others who aren't so fortunate."You can provide that guidance and interact with them and they really love that," said Janecek.
These dads encourage other dads at other schools to form a similar group to become role models not only at home but also at school.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my site . Thanks =)
Somebody essentially help to make seriously posts I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to make this particular publish extraordinary. Fantastic job!
That was a spectacular article, need more great work like this out there.
Folks today generate their particular values inside goods, just like several little finger shoes or boots, elegant Nike shoes or boots and in addition cheap mbt shoes or boots. They will not merely help make these kinds of shoes or boots way of trend, but in addition make an effort to cause them to become problem a lot more concerning individual well being.
Sports activities game enthusiasts are usually concerned in regards to the video game footwear. an excellent footwear is actually rather necessary for a good sportsman.
Iâd have to see eye to eye with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
This page seems to get a great deal of visitors. How do you promote it? It offers a nice individual spin on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to talk about is the most important factor.

Hello Folks! I did a small tasting this morning of 3 wines from Or Haganuz, a winery founded in 2005 in the Galilee at the Chassidic Breslav village of Or Haganuz, close to Har Meron. This winery is showing constent improvement as I've noticed at IsraWinExpo last February. This winery is especially popular among the Chareidi (generally speaking, those jews wearing the black hats and suits) crowd, as it carries the Badatz HaEda HaChareidit kashrut certification, recognized by most as the strictest of all. Their Kahor style dessert red wine, Har Sinai, is very popular.
I tasted 3 wines: Kerem Marom Hilel VeDan (Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz/Cabernet Franc) 2009, Har Glili 2011 (Chardonnay/Sauvignon Blanc) and Kerem Amuka Nevoria 2011. Honestly, to say that the labels of Or Haganuz are confusing would be an understatement!
Or Haganuz, Har Glili 2011: This an unoaked, off-dry blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (the exact proportions are unknown to me though). Very pale gold in color, medium-bodied with on the nose fresh ripe grapefruit and butterscotch, followed on the palate by lemon zest, green apples and again a hint of butterscotch on the moderately long finish. Not very complex but pleasant and refreshing, should be served chilled.
Or Haganuz, Kerem Marom Hilel VeDan 2009: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc. Very dark garnet with on the nose ripe plums and blackberries, on the palate plums, blackberries and freshly cut grass, a hint of dates and sweet cedar along with some earthy notes and a light peppery spiciness with almost chewy tannins on a very long mouth-filling finish. An interesting wine indeed with quite some complexity although lacking a tiny bit of acidity for me.
Or Haganuz, Kerem Amuka Nevoria 2011: This is an off-dry Rosé, salmon pink in color, on the nose ripe peaches and apricots along with strawberries, sweet peaches on the palate along with candied cherries as well as notes of honeysuckle leading to a long finish. This is not really the kind of stuff that I like but as Rogov z.l. used to quote Lincoln in such cases, people who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like... Don't ask me what are the varieties used for this wine as I've no idea. My guess would be Merlot and Syrah.

Avenida dos Direitos Humanos Dili, firstname.lastname@example.com
1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433
Timor-Leste Overview
In May 2002, Timor-Leste (formerly known as East Timor) gained independence. Violence had left the country and families torn apart, nearly 70 per cent of all buildings, homes and schools destroyed, and an estimated 75 per cent of the population was displaced.
During April-May of 2006, there was a rapid deterioration of security. Serious violence caused the displacement of around 150,000 people in the capital, Dili and the surrounding areas, and the government subsequently requested military assistance from neighboring countries and humanitarian and police assistance from the United Nations. In 2006, the economy contracted by an estimated 5.4 per cent, and there were significant increases in poverty levels across the country.
Despite the challenges, Timor-Leste has progressed, particularly due to their endowment of natural resources. With the petroleum revenue boom, fiscal policy since 2005 has been expansionary. In 2007-08 the government increased spending on public transfers and infrastructure to address the pressing need to ensure social and institutional stability following the 2006 crisis.
The economy continues to grow rapidly on the back of government spending. These developments are starting to contribute to poverty reduction and improved social outcomes.
The World Development Report 2011 found that on average post-conflict countries take between 15 and 30 years – a full generation – to transition out of fragility and to build resilience. It is against this backdrop that social and economic development in Timor-Leste can be seen as remarkable.
The 2011 budget provides a strong indication of priorities for the government's upcoming Strategic Development Plan. The investment strategy is expected to focus strongly on major infrastructure, skills, and other structural gaps, seeking to generate increased and sustainable private sector investment as a means to enhance job opportunities and reduce poverty for the people of Timor-Leste.
In February 2013, the World Bank Group approved its first Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for Timor-Leste. This strategy, developed in consultation with various stakeholders, governs the World Bank Group's program for the fiscal year of 2013-2017.
The CPS is structured around three strategic areas and one crosscutting theme which are:
Improving the Management and Delivery of Services in Education, Health and Nutrition, and Social Protection. The World Bank Group will help build the capacity of the government to deliver services to create an educated, healthy, employable and less vulnerable population. In particular, the Bank will focus on supporting decentralized service delivery in health and education, and improving the targeting and impact of social protection programs.
Building Core Infrastructure to Connect Communities to Markets. This strategic area will develop core infrastructure to enhance access to services, employment, and markets, and to facilitate efficient and reduced-cost movement of people and goods. Support in this area will include lending, technical assistance, and IFC investment and advisory services, and will set the stage for public-private partnerships for major infrastructure.
Supporting Economic Development for a Non-Oil Economy. The World Bank Group will assist Timor-Leste to build the foundations for a non-oil economy that can eradicate poverty, create jobs, and improve livelihoods. It will emphasize development of a productive agriculture sector, and support to private investment and reduced transaction costs for business, including for tourism. Interventions on the ground will focus on districts crossed by the road corridor to maximize the economic impact of the road and to demonstrate a more integrated path for rural development.
Strengthening Institutions for Quality of Spending. This cross-cutting theme will focus on strengthening institutions to improve the quality of spending, both across government and in the specific sectors addressed by this CPS. All activities in the CPS will contribute, directly or indirectly, to improving the quality of spending of government ministries. Through improvements in institutional capacity, the Bank will support the government to efficiently execute its substantial capital investment, improve the quality of planning through better use of data, and strengthen systems to prepare for budget support in subsequent CPS periods.
Since 2009, the World Bank has been assisting the Government of Timor-Leste to help rebuild national infrastructure, stabilize the economy and build up strong government institutions. Some of the achievements from the Bank's continued support are:
Education: The World Bank has worked with the Ministry of Education to rebuild or rehabilitate 2,172 classrooms.
All schoolchildren in grades 1-3 now have access to vital learning materials, with early grade schools each provided with 148 learning aides. The completion rates for primary school has increased from 73 percent in 2009 to over 83 percent in 2012, which exceeded the original target of 80 percent.
Health: The World Bank and its donor partners supported the Government in rehabilitating and reconstructing essential health infrastructure. This included the central hospital in Dili, four of the five regional referral hospitals based in the districts and the construction of a large number of health centers. In addition, Bank administered programs have supported the operation of mobile clinics to service remote areas of the country. The supply of medical equipment and drugs was also enhanced. Improvements to the health system contributed to a near doubling of the number of people visiting health centers and hospitals, increased outpatient visits and midwife assisted births, and increased child immunization rates. Infant and child mortality have both declined by over 40 percent.
Agriculture: The World Bank works with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forests and Fisheries to support farmers in improving upland farming and conservation techniques; rehabilitate small and large irrigation schemes; improve access to agribusiness and market information, and deliver livestock health services. Almost 4000 hectares of agricultural land was rehabilitated in 46 community based irrigation schemes. This comprises 2.4 percent of the country's arable land. More than 380 village livestock workers were trained and about 80 percent of livestock vaccinated against disease. In addition, substantive support has been provided to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry.
Budget Execution and Resources Management: The Planning and Financial Management system in Timor-Leste has undergone significant reforms. Financial Management Information, procurement, and treasury systems and processes have been simplified and strengthened, with an increased delegation of responsibilities to line ministries. This has improved efficiency and enabled a dramatic rise in budget execution. At the same time, government has tried to promote transparency through computerization of records and provision of regular reports on budget implementation.
Management of Petroleum Resources: The World Bank supported the government in establishing a petroleum regime that is internationally competitive. Timor-Leste was declared compatible with the international Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, which aims to increase the accountability of governments and companies in resource management throughout the world. As only the third World Bank member country to achieve this status, Timor-Leste has set benchmarks for other developing countries in transparency and accountability in this regard.
Veteran integration: The World Bank supported the Government in developing policies to help alleviate the concerns of veterans. This enabled the registration of 75,000 veterans, allowing thousands to receive pension payments.
Youth Opportunities: The World Bank's Youth Development Project is working with government to promote youth empowerment and inclusion. To date, the project has achieved significant results, providing youth grants for a total of 274 projects, including 23 grants to rebuild or rehabilitate youth centres; 50 grants to provide training, and others for a variety of youth-led community activities. Over 182 projects have been completed, including: the rehabilitation of youth centres, development of sporting fields and community infrastructure.

Obstacles for Psychiatric Service Dogs
More veterans are turning to canines to cope with PTSD

The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
You may want to revise this article to reflect the changes in the ADA as of March 2011.

Strong Laws Are Needed For Service Animals
Submitted by cissy stamm | August 4 2012 | Permalink
Emotional support dogs are specifically excluded from coverage under the ADA:
Airlines under the ACAA make provision for emotional support dogs to fly in the cabin if certain conditions are met - 48 hours notice & letter from health care provider.
While "fake" service dogs can certainly be an issue of concern, how does one make the determination? Some disabilities are invisible. Not all people with obvious disabilities with dogs have a service dog; it could just as easily be an emotional support animal or pet. The "fake" service dog issue is constantly raised although there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support widespread fraud.
The public's protection is that the handler of *any* dog represented as a service dog can (and should) be asked to remove the animal if it is disruptive.
Poorly researched articles that represent emotional support dogs as having the same access rights with their partners can only serve to further confuse people into mistakenly believing they have federally protected public access rights with their emotional support dogs. This kind of mistake is particularly true for a publication targeted at the dog owning public.

Hi JoAnna, Thank you for bringing light to this topic of discussion. There factual errors and typos you may want to touch up. For instance, "Last week, the Senate passed a bill (HR 1627) that would require the Veterans Affairs Department is open their housing facilities to veterans with service dogs. The current version restricts assess to canines trained by certain accredited organizations. "
I'd also like to clarify a few things left out of your article. Regarding the point that, "The Americans with Disabilities Act does not protect the last category and these animals can't be taken into restaurants or stores that don't normally allow pets." The ADA does not protect ESA's OR Therapy dogs. Not just the last category, but both.
In addition you mentioned "While airlines and other transportation services have to accommodate service animals,…". This is not true; airlines and transportation services are not covered under the ADA. An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is protected under Housing/U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) laws, and when flying under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) law, but in both situations a doctor's letter will be required. You may read my recent article about the topic here http://www.funpawcare.com/2012/06/23/abuse-of-the-service-dog-title/
You do bring up an excellent point about the wellbeing of PTSD dogs, working dogs and service animals and their health. There is a plethora of research that suggests that these dogs' needs may not be met due to their helping roles. Certainly more stringent, compassionate and commonsensical laws and training should be made apparent for this cause.

For Your Consideration:
I am a 50 year old woman, who within the last 5 years has found myself going from a very normal-appearing life to suddenly dealing daily with Major Depression, Anxiety and PTSD, seldom leaving my bedroom. 2 years ago my Psych did recommend I get a dog and I got a rescue dog. Not only has my life improved but I can confidently state that my dog's life has improved as well. I realize that I was lucky to be at the right time in my life to do that AND get a dog with a personality that fit perfectly with me. I have trained her myself and done extensive research and am jumping through hoops to try to get her licensed as a service dog. I want to try to venture outside my apartment complex - I want to try to be a productive human being - but first I have to get past the thought that there will be people looking at us, unable to see my illness, thinking that I'm a fake. That's really hard to deal with when you're mentally ill. If you see a service dog and owner and you're unsure if they're legit just give them the benefit of doubt and smile... it might be me!

I too have PTSD and I do take my 9 lb schnauzer in a pet sling to allow me to go shopping. He keeps me calm enough to do the task. Like most with PTSD, social anxiety is a common symptom. He helps me with that. He has made my life's lot better these past few years.

Drive-thru Flu Shots Prove A Winner For COC [1]
People hoping to get their seasonal flu shots started lining up at 6 a.m. today at College of the Canyons for its annual drive-thru flu shot clinic. Aside from a few traffic snags with the number of people eager to roll up their sleeves, things went pretty smoothly.
"From an overall view, it was a wild success," said John McElwaine, COC spokesman. "As of 12:30, we had 1,562 people who were in 891 cars that came through and we dispensed 1,355 adult shots, 31 pediatric shots and 19 nasal spray shots."
He said the numbers would go up as final statistics were compiled, but estimated that the overall amount of vaccines administered would end up around 1,400.
Clinic organizers, which included nursing students at the college, instructors and college administrators, started setting up at 6 a.m. and found one car with people already waiting for their shot, even though the clinic was not scheduled to open until 10 a.m.
"By the time 8 o'clock rolled around, we had 100 cars; by 9 o'clock, we had several hundred cars waiting," McElwaine said. "Once the serum was delivered by county health and we were able to verify those counts, we opened, due to the pressure of the public who wanted the shots. We had an extra hour and we needed every one of those minutes."
He said that the volume was much higher than the last three years, causing them to be creative with traffic control. Sheriff's deputies stepped in and re-routed some of the cars, taking the bottleneck off of Valencia Boulevard and accommodating all those waiting for their vaccines.
"At one point, when we opened, the average wait was one hour," McElwaine explained. "By the end, we had it down to less than 22 minutes."
Asked if a similar clinic would be set up once the H1N1 vaccine becomes available from the county, McElwaine said they did not have any information.
"County health is still looking at where and when and under what format they will be holding the H1N1 clinics and have not discussed it with us yet," he said. "Right now, we have no H1N1 clinic planned at the college, but I know there will be some in the valley before the end of November."
Overall, he said the crews who worked the clinic were satisfied with their day's work.
"It's a good thing all the way around," he said. "The public was happy, we were pleased with what we learned and how many people we got trained, it was a win-win all around."

Hi, STAR.
Well, i can't suggest you any because i got no idea but go for a google search.
I am sure it will help you.
If you play the video on you machine, you just need to put subtitle files and video files into the same folder. Then, it can be shown on screen.
But I dont know how to embed it into video.
And you can burn your video to DVD by this smart DVD burner for playing on dvd player.
Here are some free video to dvd converters. I think dvd FLICK is the best.

Tenebrae: service of darkness
The service of Tenebrae has a rich tradition in the church, dating back to the 8th century.
Tenebrae is a word derived from Latin meaning "darkness."
Through word, music and drama, this service dramatizes the suffering, death and burial of Jesus Christ.
This service will be at 7 p.m. Friday, March 29 at the Advent Lutheran Church, 7550 N. Wickham Road, Suntree.
As the service moves from light into darkness, the diminishing light symbolizes the fading devotion of the apostles as well as the gradual dying of the Lord.
At the end of the service, the sanctuary will be in darkness. Everyone will leave in silence, contemplating Christ's suffering and death, in preparation for the joy we will celebrate with Christ's resurrection on Easter Day.
This service is written by Hal H. Hopson, produced by Lois Koepke, musical director and organist Betty Jo Couch, A.C.T. (Advent Christian-Centered Thespians) and the Advent Lutheran Church Choir.
Breakfast with the Easter Bunny
Youth from infants through first grade will enjoy doughnuts and juice, hunt for eggs and watch the Easter Bunny arrive on the fire truck at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 30 at Pelican Beach Park, 1525 Highway A1A, Satellite Beach.
'Survivor on Egg Island'
On Saturday, March 30 at 10 a.m., the public is invited to participate in the "best darn egg hunt in the Eau Gallie community;" and it is free. It is open for toddlers to sixth-grade children.
"Survivor on Egg Island" is more than an egg hunt. It is an obstacle course, with an egg hunt and then a raffle with tickets hidden in special eggs.
It's not just a mad dash for candy, but a race of skill and determination for all of the kids in the neighborhood.
Teams will be formed by grades K through fifth grade.
There is an egg hunt held in a separate area of the park for toddlers and preschool children.
Hot dogs, chips and drinks are served for the whole family.
If you have any questions, call Elizabeth Murray at (321) 777-0168 or (321) 254-3365.

'Celebration of Salvation'
The community is invited to "A Celebration of Salvation" Easter Sunday narrative service at 1 p.m. March 31 at Wickham Park, 2500 Parkway Drive, in Melbourne.

Q&A: Does chloasma ever go away?
I have this dark area on my face that has been there since my last baby was born, three months ago. It just won't go away. My mother says that it is "mask of pregnancy" and may never go away. Is that true?
The dark patches you are describing probably represent melasma, which is sometimes referred to as cloasma, chloasma, or the "mask of pregnancy." Melasma refers to brownish or grayish spots or patches usually seen on the cheeks, nose, or forehead that develop from a combination of sun exposure and pregnancy hormones. Some women get melasma while on birth control pills as well. Unlike most other skin conditions which are more of a problem for people with pale complexions, melasma is more common in women with olive tone or darker skin.
What can you do? Melasma does tend to fade over time, but may reappear with sun exposure, especially if you use estrogen-containing contraceptives. If you have another baby, melasma is likely to recur. Sunscreen may not be totally effective, so we tell pregnant women that in addition to using a good sunscreen they keep their faces out of the sun with a big hat or umbrella.
Talk to a dermatologist about your options. Melasma often fades over time. Skin bleaches and/or chemical peels may help treat melasma, and of course you can use makeup for coverage in the meantime.

Carries alot more than you expect!
I bought this in the saddle brown, which is a lovely dark caramel. This bag is organized so as to be able to carry an amazing amount of stuff, including sunglasses, iphone, etc. It's a perfect size and design to carry solo, but small enough to put into a tote for those times when you will be carrying other items. I am practically phobic about not always carrying a huge bag "just in case", but this purse may just convince me to "overcome my fears"! Lovely quality leather, and the length of the strap is easy to adjust.
September 9, 2014
Good Value for the price
This purse is functional and works for business and casual affairs. I like that yo can easily adjust the length of the strap and the compartments are easily accessible. I had carried another Levenger purse for years and it had a ring that was fastened on the inside of the purse but hung on the outside to attach your cell phone case or keys, that it the only thing missing from this purse.
September 18, 2014
Best purse/organizer I have seen
This is small enough but still holds everything. Its perfect!
September 11, 2014
A gem of a purse
This purse looked too small but I decided to give it a try. It was actually slightly larger and much better organized than the purse I had. It easily holds my Kindle, Samsung GIII iPod, and daily essentials without bulging. The pen loop is a bit tight for my Levenger, but it does stay put. Cards are where I need them, keys handy, and no wasted fluff. It's exactly what I didn't know I needed. Very happy with it.
August 20, 2014
Intelligent Design
I wanted a small bag that could hold my sunglasses that come in a hard case. This amazing bag easily contains the case plus everything else I need. The bag is not heavy, the long strap is perfect for cross body security, and the leather is lovely to touch and to look at. I got the purple color and am very happy with it.
July 7, 2014
Just a little something
I brought this bag for my wife as a B-Day gift. I made a great choice. She loves how compact it is. I have brought other bags for her she seems to like the smaller organizer bags the best. She has not consider any other stores for her hand bags
July 3, 2014
Not very plum
Great little bag, but I was disappointed with the color. It looks plummy and attractive on my computer, but in real life it is a slightly purplish brown. It looked like an "off" brown to me and I returned it. I wish it were available in some brighter colors (red, purple, blue) as well as navy.
July 3, 2014
Love this bag, but...
I love this bag! I love the small size and organization - I can carry everything I need including phone and eyeglasses. I have two - the strap broke on the first one after a couple of years. I'm currently using my second one (about one year of use) and I can see that the stitching that holds the strap in place is giving away so it's just a matter of time before the strap breaks on this one too. I won't buy another but will look into getting it repaired.
June 16, 2014
The most wonderful!
This is the second review I have written about this little bag. I loved it at first and I even love it more now. It is absolutely the most useful little bag I have ever had. It is small enough to fit nicely into a larger computer bag, it acts as a wallet because of the wallet like pockets under the flap. My phone even fits in there and it is one of the larger ones. Then the zipper at the top opens to fit the sunglasses, the address book/notepad, the keys - all the extras one needs to carry around all the time and the most wonderful thing about it is that it does expand as needed but it is not looking like it is overburdened and bulging as many bags, especially small bags, do when essentials are included. I am a bag person and have tried and used many, many bags in my day but this one is the very best ever. I have the purple one which is most beautiful and not at all obtrusive, as well, I am waiting for more colors, perhaps some spring colors. You will love this bag!!
May 25, 2014
Great little BIG purse !!
This little purple purse is perfect, it's just what I was looking for, small, but seems so BIG because it holds everything I need! There's a place for my phone (which is over large), and coins, dollar bills, checkbook, lots of credit cards, keys, pillbox, lipstick, pens/pencils, receipts, coupons, and much more. I love the adjustable handle and the soft smooth feel of the leather. The fine quality shows in the stitching and sturdy lining used. One other fact I realized...it would be perfect for my blind friend who needs to keep her dollar bills separated; this is the purse for her!!!

Background: Existing drum sensors consisting of piezo elements applied to the head of an acoustic drum have not been perceived as giving a "natural response". After analyzing the wave form patterns from acoustic drums, Clavia has created a patented transducer solution using vectored amplitude measurements (VAM) .
Other problems include double triggering (you strike the drum once and you hear additional unwanted strikes) and crosstalk (you strike Tom 1 and Tom 2 plays too).
Two other common problems with conventional triggers are: durability (when you hit them accidentally they can break) and unreliable mounting methods. Triggers mounted using adhesives can accidentally separate from the drumhead.
Clavias patented trigger solves these problems and offers several other advantages:
Playing dynamics are recognized in a "natural way", allowing for a realistic dynamic response across the entire drumhead (from the center of the head to the rim).
Double triggering problem is reduced.
The special design trigger reduces the crosstalk problem.
Together with ddrum sound modules - crosstalk and double triggering are totally eliminated. No muffling is needed.
Shock-mounted construction.
XLR-Output for professional connection.
Fits most types of moulded hoops.
No adhesive is needed.
Safely secured at the hoop with a standard tension rod.
sturdy construction.
all parts interchangeable.
ddrumTriggers adds a new dimension to drumming
In the studio, for example, hook up your drum Triggers to existing acoustic drums and connect them to your soundmodule. You can combine great drum sounds with MIDI information almost instantly. On the road, custom-tailor your acoustic sound with the digital studio sounds in your ddrum sound module. Whether in studio sessions or on the road, the ddrum Triggers are the perfect choice for the demanding drummer.
ddrumTriggers - a new standard for triggers
With their superb tracking ability, ddrum Triggers set a new standard for trigger microphones. With absolutely no adhesives required, the ddrum triggers clamp onto the sides of standard drumhoops. The specially designed transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead. The advantages are obvious: You can change drum heads over and over without damaging the transducer. The metal casing protects the trigger from accidental drumhits. The ultra-light pressure of the transducer against the head prevents any "damping" effect. The XLR output ensures a reliable connection.
Three types of triggers
The ddrumTriggers come in three different models and fit standard drum rim/hoops: Tom Tom, Kickdrum and a special ddrum Trigger for the Snare, with a separate sensor for the Rim. Note: The snare trigger can also be used on tom toms.
Try out the ddrumTriggers - They are perfect for the demanding musician. They are rugged, roadworthy and very easily removable. When using ddrumTriggers with a ddrum sound module it sounds

How is dizziness treated?
Comment on this Read 2 Comments
Dizziness treatment
Dizziness is a symptom, not a disease, and treatment will be directed to the underlying cause. For example, dizziness or lightheadedness due to dehydration from gastroenteritis may require intravenous fluids and medications to stop the vomiting and diarrhea, while dizziness or lightheadedness from a heart rhythm condition may require admission to the hospital and specialized testing and treatment.

Is capitalism sustainable?
Bono stated in his TED2013 talk that the numbers show that we can eradicate all poverty worldwide by 2030. While I really hope that is true, it begs the question: Is capitalism sustainable? Is it possible to have a rich and middle class without a poor class? The sad reality of capitalism is that if there is an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, there has to be an exponentially long tail of much poorer people who are each contributing to that wealth. Not that we necessarily need an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, but would the world keep running without capitalistic incentives that increase the separation between rich and poor? Can we eradicate all poverty without the rich sharing their riches? What happens to civilization when nobody is willing to work in the factories and orchards, or build roads?
(Please don't take this question the wrong way! Personally I wish that nobody had to work menial jobs. I just don't understand how we can eradicate poverty when so many jobs will always translate into low-paid labor.)

Mar 11 2013: Pure capitalism is very sustainable. The problem is when regulations make pure capitalism impossible. (Just to be clear, regulations that ensure the safety are not my issue). The constant intrusion of silly regulations, coupled with radical intrusion such as labor unions makes capitalism hard to sustain. In a country like the U.S., unions and crazy over-regulation such as excessive environmental regs make it cheaper to move jobs overseas. There will ALWAYS be classes. Even in communist Russia, the "worker" lived in poverty while party members enjoyed luxury. Many peoplw need the idea of improving their station in society to motivate them to work hard and innovate. Telling people that there is no reward for innovation will make many of them not even try. For an example, look at the innovations over the past 100 years. How many came from capitalist countries, compared to socialist countries? Even things in the US attributed to the government (take NASA for example) were actually made by private, for-profit companies like Northrup-Grumman, or Lockheed-Martin. Our (U.S.) Biggest threat is "class warfare" where the "poor" (the standard of living for a "working class" American is far above the "poor" of most other nations), created by politicians trying to pander for votes.
