Save the Earth as well, and do it all in one afternoon.
This post comes from G.E. Miller at partner blog Wise Bread.
Ambitious title for a post for sure, but not that far off when you look at the facts surrounding freshwater.
According to Water.org, 884 million people (one in eight in the world) lack access to a safe water supply. Less than 1% of the world's freshwater (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct human use. Furthermore, an American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a Third World slum uses in a whole day (learn how to take a shower in 60 seconds).
All environmental guilt issues aside, saving water is not only good for the planet, it can be a highly efficient way to cut your water and energy bills (energy to heat the water). Here are the top five ways that you can cut your water use today.
Food fraud can mean that you're being overcharged and misled. How can you tell if you're being hoodwinked?
We first read about large-scale food fraud when The New Yorker wrote about the Italian olive oil industry several years ago. Whoa. Was the pricey EVOO in our cupboard really something else -- hazelnut oil, perhaps?
Actually, food fraud is growing so quickly, The Washington Post reports, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is under increasing pressure to get involved. Without verification that labeling is accurate, you could be paying Cadillac prices for the food equivalent of a Hyundai Accent.
Here are some examples we came across in the Post and elsewhere:
NASA's overblown spending on a 3-day conference to train procurement officials contained some pricey personal-finance lessons.
Question: How much did NASA spend on coffee, soda and snacks for a three-day conference in Baltimore to teach procurement officials how to determine a reasonable price for stuff they buy?
Answer: $62,611 total, or $66 per person per day -- some mighty pricey bagels, cookies and fruit.
It varies from less than a year to indefinitely, depending on the type.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
We recently purchased a sheet-fed scanner, a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300, to help organize our financial records. This purchase is easily one of the top 10 I've made in my adult life. We went from having a few banker's boxes of documents down to just a few documents in about a week.
Using a sheet-fed scanner, versus a flat-bed scanner like a copier, saves you a ridiculous amount of time, and the ScanSnap will save your document into a .pdf file. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it if you're looking to save things electronically.
One of the benefits of storing documents electronically is that it makes the "how long should I keep financial documents?" question a bit obsolete. Data storage is cheap so you can save documents forever, but I think it's still important to know how long to keep documents because it gives you a better understanding of finances. For instance, knowing why you should keep tax records for seven years gives you a better understanding of the tax process.
So, how long should you keep financial documents? It depends.
But is anybody else tired of wimpy mortgage modifications and this endless national soap opera?
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Anybody besides me sick to death of mortgage modification plans, programs, problems, hopes, dreams, failures?
I guess we'll have to just suck it up and stay tuned because this big soap opera appears to have legs. The latest installment -- let's call it the modified modification plan -- might have a chance at some modest success.
What's wrong with the first one?
With D.C. packed for tourist season, bloom watchers might turn elsewhere.
This Deal of the Day comes from Sarah Morgan at partner site SmartMoney.
Regardless of what you may have heard about May flowers, the blooms that draw the most visitors to Washington, D.C., arrive in late March.
This year's National Cherry Blossom Festival began on Saturday and runs through April 11. The more than 3,700 cherry trees that line the Tidal Basin and other sites in the capital are forecast to hit their peak bloom date on Thursday or Friday. Peak bloom for these famous trees, a gift from Japan in 1912, translates to peak tourism season for the city where they grow. Bloom chasers would be wise to time their spring trips this year with that in mind -- and maybe even consider some other destinations.
Two sisters face the challenge of caring for parents who are unable or unwilling to care for themselves.
"Shtinkykat" and her sister face probably the biggest challenge of their young adult lives: Their parents subsist on Social Security and a tiny pension in a rental after years of financial irresponsibility. Not even a modest home to call their own.
Now, their father is suffering from dementia. And adhering to a pattern she's consistently followed, their mother has left him in charge of the finances and is trying to lay a heavy guilt trip on the girls (which they resist). Sample One: "Oh, now I see you and your sister just want your dad and me dead!" Sample Two: "I've sacrificed EVERYTHING for you girls and this is how you treat me!"
The answer to this simple question can motivate and guide you as you reduce clutter.
This guest post comes from Erin Doland at Unclutterer.
As part of my second set of 2010 resolutions, I started going through my entire home and office playing the "I'm moving overseas!" uncluttering game.
However, I ran into a problem because I know I'm not actually moving overseas. It's like setting your alarm clock 10 minutes ahead -- you always know it's 10 minutes ahead. I can't seem to trick myself into behaving in a way that makes the game beneficial. And, since I already own much less stuff than the average American, I'm using that as some strange justification for my decision-making process.
I've come to realize that this game isn't for me and that I need a new approach. Taking the place of "I'm moving overseas!" is my new "how much is enough?" evaluation procedure.
The premise of "how much is enough?" is simple:

Christoph Waltz should be celebrating the New York Film Festival premiere of Carnage, but instead, he is dealing with injuries from Django Unchained.
The Academy Award-winning actor, 54, who costarred in Inglourious Basterds and Water for Elephants, was hurt on the set of Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, Waltz's rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"Christoph Waltz was injured while training with his horse in preparation for his role," the rep says in a statement. "Waltz is currently being treated for a dislocated pelvic bone and is looking forward to getting back in the saddle."
The film's production schedule has not changed, and Waltz is expected to fully recover.

"Wow!

While the ensemble cast includes Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger, Austrian actor Christoph Waltz earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance as a diabolical, and multilingual, Nazi officer.

"After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're ripe,' " recalls Roth, 37. "I said, 'I didn't have time to shower.' He said, 'Baby wipes, man, baby wipes.' "

The star's WWII action film, the intentionally misspelled Inglourious Basterds, has been invited to this year's May 13-24 Cannes Film Festival, and the film's director, Quentin Tarantino, has not only accepted the call, Variety reports, he's agreed to allow the picture into competition.
The trade paper further reports that Tarantino has promised the Weinstein Company and Universal that his Dirty Dozen-style adventure about Jewish-American commandos battling Nazis will be ready in May. The movie is scheduled to open to the public Aug. 21.

In Brad Pitt's upcoming World War II movie, he plays a vengeance-seeking Nazi hunter – and he looks the part.
The first portrait of Pitt's character, Lt. Aldo Raine, in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (yes, the misspelling is intentional), was released Monday. Clad in tough-looking fighter gear, Pitt portrays the leader of the "Basterds," a group of Jewish-American soldiers who scalp and brutally kill Nazis.
Pitt's character is described on Tarantino.info as not "your Warner Brothers 1950's WW2 hero … this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee."
Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their six children recently moved to a Berlin villa while he works on the controversial film.

Will a Weak Quarter Deter Investors?
tarun is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) reported its earnings last week with profits in line with the analysts' estimates, while revenue fell 3%. According to the company, sales declined due to poor weather conditions and floods in North America and in Europe, coupled with weak overall demand for sparkling beverages. Let's try to look beyond bad weather to see if demand for the company's products is waning.
In the most recent quarter, volume declined 4% for sparkling beverages in North America, which was offset by 5% volume growth in the company's still beverage portfolio. It was the first time in 13 quarters that Coca-Cola saw a decline in its sparkling beverage business, which I believe is due to the negative publicity that soda companies are the cause for rising obesity and other health issues.
Coca-Cola has come up with counter advertisements, which state that rising health problems are due to consumption of excess calories from all the food we consume and not just soda. PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) CEO, Indra Nooyi, has also condemned these statements as "maniacal," which will badly affect the entire beverage industry. Whatever both the giants do to combat the effect of sparkling soda, the damage has been done.
PepsiCo, in its first quarter, reported an overall growth in organic revenues by 4.4% despite the recent pullback in domestic soda sales. However, almost two-third of the company's revenue from its beverage business accounts from non-carbonated offerings, a segment that represents tremendous growth potential as the North American population becomes more health conscious. More importantly, its non-carbonated segment also offers tremendous scope in emerging markets such as India, which offers almost 28 times more growth potential based on average consumption compared to a U.S. citizen.

Ryan Stone: Stop Breaking Down
Ryan Stone is the last of the forwards I'll look at using this format. Ryan Jones and the rest played too few games as Oilers to have a long look at, but we'll talk about them later in the spring.
- Boxcars: 27gp, 0-6-6
- Shots: 25
- Plus Minus: +2
- Corsi (Rel): 14.7 (2nd among F, DNQ)
- 5×5/60: 1.54 (5th among F's, DNQ)
- 5×4/60: nil
- Quality of Competition: 12th toughest among F's
- Quality of Teammates: 11th best among F's
- FO %: 33.3% in 21 FO's
- Offensive Zone Start FO %: 52.7% (easiest among F's, DNQ)
- Cap Hit: $600,000 (UFA)
- What do these numbers tell us? Not a lot. He played with good linemates (despite the qual/qual #'s) for many of the 27 games but there's not enough here to draw grand conclusions. Excellent Corsi, passable 5×5/60 and the cap hit was on the way to making this a value contract before injury.
- How could these numbers be better? He needed to get more at-bats in order to establish himself as an Oiler, and he needed to score a goal or two. Other than that, Stone exceeded expectations.
- Where is he with the injury? Stone's season was lost to a knee injury but from the sounds of things the Oilers should be able to count on him in the fall.
- What about foot speed? Well it wasn't a strength before the injury so I don't know that it'll have a big impact on his game.
- Was he better than Jacques? Oh God yes. Stone actually looked like a player who could fill a vital role before the injury (top 6 forward with size and grit) and one hopes the Oilers continue the experiment. Well priced top 6 forwards are gold.
- Seriously, you think that much of him? With the understanding that he didn't get enough time to show if he can do the job, yes. The Oilers had a horrible year but that doesn't mean they have to flush everything. They look to be onto something with Ryan Stone, I'd like to see more of him.
- How important is Stone to the organization? It is up in the air. He could be among the top 6 forwards while making 1M or less. THAT has exceptional value. Of course, the Oilers have to sign him and the club has allowed some players right in this area to fall through the cracks over the last few seasons (Glencross being the obvious example).

Not All Value Energy Investments Are Created Equal
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Some big names in the oil and gas business have seen stock valuations fall over the past five years. Do these companies represent long term value plays or just bad investments? Three firms are reviewed here with my personal thoughts on which are worth buying or avoiding.
Rhinestone or diamond in the rough?
Back in 2012, Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) divested its Gulf of Mexico and foreign assets to concentrate on its onshore North American oil and natural gas exploration and production business. Smart move given how those commodities have grown. While Devon's oil and natural gas production have grown, its stock price hasn't. After peaking in 2011, Devon now trades near its five year lows. Given its oil sands and shale gas assets, Devon currently sells for about half its net asset value. Throw in $7.5 billion in cash and Devon looks well positioned to grow. On the other hand, Devon plugged its third oil exploration well in Utica shale due to disappointing results. Its Houston headquarters announced layoffs as part of its consolidation plans. On top of it all, oil production has experienced take-away problems endemic to the oil sands industry and natural gas prices remain under pressure.
There are those who see Devon as a long term value investment. I'm sorry, but when a company trades near its 5 year lows, sells at a PE ratio around 32, pays a modest 1.5% dividend, experiences major transportation problems with its most high margin business (e.g. oil) and price pressure for its highest volume product (e.g. natural gas), that company just does not scream "BUY" in my little world. Yes, having $7.5 billion in cash helps, but for me it's not enough. While some believe Devon is a "buy and forget" investment that will grow for the next two years, I think you should forget Devon for two years before buying it.
Marathon for the long run
Like Devon, Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) engages in both oil and natural gas production. Unlike Devon, Marathon's oil comes from shale. In fact, Marathon recently sold oil sands assets. This affords Marathon the advantage of oil assets closer to refineries and avoiding some of the transportation problems of Canadian oil. And it gets better. Marathon owns $2.6 trillion in natural gas reserves. Its investment in Eagle Ford shale oil is paying off big with more to come. Despite lost production in Libya, earnings grew last quarter. And its international assets round out the proven reserves picture.
Given the streamlining of assets towards high quality oil plays, the future looks good for Marathon. Recent declines in revenue seem to be reversing and the stock is slowly coming off its recent lows. Currently, Marathon stock trades for roughly $21/barrel of proven reserves. The fact that Marathon is producing, rather than exploring, further enhances its appeal. Throw in a PE ratio of about 17 and a dividend of around 2%, and I think Marathon is a better investment than Devon.
But best of all...
Frankly, by most metrics, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) make the most compelling value play of the three companies here. The stock trades at $19/barrel of proven reserves and a PE ratio of under 7. Roughly 75-80% of Conoco's cash flow goes into replacing depleted assets and the remainder to stock buy-backs and dividends. Its natural gas operations overseas command higher prices than US gas. The company pays a 4.4% dividend with a dividend growth rate of 10% or so over the past five years (the past year, dividends grew at about 2.6%).
The past year has seen significant declines in revenues and earnings. Much of this fiscal turbulence can no doubt be attributed to the spin off of Phillips 66. However, the company has been beating estimates and has been re-aligning assets to capitalize on promising oil shale plays. Going forward, production from Eagle Ford, Bakken and even Chinese oil fields suggest Conoco may have turned a corner. Conoco CEO Ryan Lance believes a slow and steady approach wins in the oil business. That approach should serve value investors well. The combination of decent dividends now and slowly improving business operations portend a favorable combination of income and capital gains.
Final Foolish Thoughts
All three companies have dropped significantly from their previous highs. Marathon and Conoco have begun recovering, Devon is just starting to move off its bottom. Overall, given its PE ratio, positive earnings surprises, current dividend, and price per barrel of proven reserves, Conoco looks like the best of the lot. Marathon makes a good second choice, but Devon needs to produce better earnings before I see it as an investment worth the risk.

Recipe Time
Cook Time:
Prep Time:
Stand: 15 Minutes
- 1 cup plum preserves
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 (7-lb.) smoked fully cooked, bone-in ham
- Garnishes: pineapple, kiwifruit, green onions, black sesame seeds
- 1. Stir together first 7 ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until preserves are melted and mixture is blended. Pour half of plum preserve mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
- 2. Trim excess fat on ham to 1/8-inch thickness. If desired, make long, shallow cuts (about 1/16-inch deep) over entire ham, forming diamond patterns. Place ham on a wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan. Brush ham with a portion of plum preserve mixture in saucepan.
- 3. Bake ham, uncovered, at 350° on lower oven rack 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with remaining plum preserve mixture in saucepan every 30 minutes. Loosely cover with aluminum foil, and bake 1 hour and 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 140°, basting every 30 minutes. Let ham stand 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish, if desired.
- 4. Microwave plum preserve mixture in bowl at HIGH 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Serve ham with warm mixture.

PURtec to Aerospace
Greiner PURtec to Greiner Aerospace
Reflecting the division's new focus on the airline industry, Greiner PURtec aircraft cushions and upholstery has been renamed Greiner Aerospace. The company also has a new logo which will be formally unveiled at the upcoming Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg in April. The new logo maintains the division's ties to the other Greiner companies, with the Greiner name set in the traditional style, but the addition of the sleek, italic "aerospace" and planet-like orbiting spheres capture the division's forward-looking cutting edge and its focus on the potential of the skies.
We are very excited about our new name and logo, which perfectly capture our focus on the airlines as well as our focus on quality and innovation. The sky is the limit.
For legal purposes, the registered company will formally remain Greiner PURtec for the time being, but Greiner Aerospace will be the public face of the company.

Memo to Obama: Get out of the way
Passing the president's jobs plan would be worse than doing nothing at all.
Does it matter what President Barack Obama does? Other than perhaps to declare a moratorium on changing anything?
We've had some classic examples in this one-two punch of "the jobs plan" and "how to pay for the jobs plan" that show me, increasingly, it doesn't matter.
Here's why. If you look at Obama's plan through a corroded prism, but one that has served you well, it's about giving money to state and local governments to keep paying highly unionized people on their payroll. It is also about keeping people from looking for work who would rather not take lower-paying jobs than they used to have -- remember, corrupted prism.
It is about payroll tax breaks for startup companies that don't even bother to care about this minuscule nonstarter, something that truly doesn't influence behavior of people who create small businesses. Heck, they expect to lose money when they start them, not worry about payroll tax exemptions. It is about giving people who work a couple of percentage points more on their wages, perhaps so they can shop at Target (TGT) and not Dollar General (DG).
In return, the president wants to make it so municipalities and states can't raise as much money as they like to pay for needed infrastructure that hires people, because the muni bond deduction is smaller than it was, so there is less demand for them.
Related Articles
It is about taking away the job creation of the one industry that is truly producing jobs, the oil and gas business. If you take away the favorable drilling depreciation, you take away a principal reason we are willing to drill so many wells that have a tremendous wealth ripple effect, as I learned from Halliburton (HAL) in my recent trip to the Bakken.
All in all, that makes the jobs plan a net negative. Plus, it is a tremendous waste of time, because the House will not help pass it.
So if the president had done nothing, it would be better. But to do nothing is to risk losing the election because you didn't fight the coming recession hard enough. To do nothing is to cede the ball to the GOP, which will say he did nothing.
If someone actually knew business in this administration, the plan would put all the money behind the winning team, not the losing team, helping people move to where the jobs are -- which is in the oil and gas industry. But then you would be perceived as helping a cohort that "polls badly," and you would be helping a non-green fuel when ideologically you are committed to green.
So we have this worse-than-nothing game plan: tax breaks that have to be paid for the wrong way and that do not influence hiring behavior.
What a mess.
Memo to the president: Stay away from us, and we will solve it. Without your help.
I think that's what the polls that show he doesn't fare well with the economy are really saying.
They are right.
At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in the stocks mentioned.
Jim Cramer is a co-founder of TheStreet and contributes daily market commentary to the financial news network's sites.
Follow Cramer's trades for his Charitable Trust.
EVERYONE!! To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature: It is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons:
a.. The US. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 236 years to get it right and it is broke.
b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 76 years to get it right and it is broke.
c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 73 years to get it right and it is broke.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 47 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 46 years to get it right and they are broke.
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 41 years to get it right and it is broke.
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 34 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars. AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ?? Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything) and their staff will clue them in on
how Americans feel. AND I know what's wrong. We have lost our minds to "Political Correctness" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone please tell me what's wrong with All the people that run this country!!!!!! We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,??????????? In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey .. And now Pakistan .....previous home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans. AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc. YET......................They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries. Sad isn't it? 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did!
The truth of matter is that Americans including myself thrive on cheap fuel.
Give us cheap gasoline and the economy will boom for us and the world.
let's take that 500 billion dollars and convert our cars to natural gas. Change
our gasoline stations to natural gas pumping stations. We will put millions of
us to work doing all the conversions. Then with the billions of dollars per day
that will be staying here insted of going to the middle east, we can start to pay
down our national debt for once. It really is that simple. Come on America Wake up!!!
Katherine - Jim is not a republican - he is a democrat - this was no surprise to me.
Do a search on "jim cramer political views" he came out of the closet back in 2007.
When Oduma took over gas was $1.89 a gallon - now it is $3.61.
The extra $ people pay to fill up their gas tank is like a tax + it really hurts the poor.
You want to see the US economy boom - get the price of fuel down.
Using nat gas instead of gasoline is a win win win win win -
The USA needs to be self sufficient in energy - nat gas is a way to bridge the gap between where we are now - and some point in the future when we will use Obama bred Unicorns to fill our transportation needs.
Plus oil & gas creates millions of HIGH paying JOBS without spending more GOVERNMENT money. In fact the government MAKES money off the oil & gas leases.
What Obama must do for the good of America is not run for the presidency again; and just take
the money he will get and settle down to do nothing for the rest of his days. He and his backers brought change alright, but not good change America needs. Hopefully, Americans have had enough of Obama and will not re-elect him.
This isn't politics; it's business. Giving people money to spend at Walmart only creates jobs in China. It is a quick way to put money in voters' pockets but will do nothing to stimulate growth. How can companies plan their future with so much uncertainty? Would you build not knowing what all your future liabilities are going to be? A lot of companies had their strategies jolted by the recession and now their eyes are wide open. They cannot afford any mistakes. They have done a great job controlling costs but now need clear vision so revenues can follow.
Well said Cramer. Although I will say it goes beyond oil & gas. A travesty really; enduring a struggling economy when many conditions exist that are characteristic of a strong, robust economy. The Fortune 250 have more cash on their balance sheets than anytime in history. Political ineptitude, lack of leadership, and a desire to place idealology above the better good of the people keep the cash in the coffers instead of in the spending stream, stoking the economy and creating jobs. You want jobs America? Repeal all that has been done in the last two years and place a moratorium on all new regulations & tax laws. Unemployment would be lass than 5% in two years and America would be viewed as the world economic leader again.
The biggest problem with the American economy is that the government takes in 2.2 trillion and has a budget 3.8 trillion that the dems refuse to understand must be cut.
There is absolutely NO criteria under which the nation can continue to do business as usual handing out money to those who never paid taxes with a budget that is almost 58% over what we have to spend.
Charity is giving what you can to those that NEED it,..............it is NOT going into debt to give money to those who need it...........that is called suicide by virtue of stupidity........which is the method many of the poor acheived that status!
I live in Houston, TX the oil capital of the US. I have worked in the oil industry (EXXONMOBIL-accounting) and I can tell you that all the hype about oil industry jobs is pure bunk! Most of the jobs created here in TX have been low paying minimum wage jobs. Even in the oil patch the only ones making any money are engineers, scientists, and executives. Most of those in the industry, at least on the downstream side, have been temp jobs that offer low pay and no benefits of any kind. Rarely is a temp offered an actual job with the company. Back in 2003 the industry started providing generous exit packages to those close to retirement that were making the good money everyone thinks is out there now. Since then those positions have been filled with temp workers to help those poor oil billionaires make billions more.
So, don't be fooled by all the hype about TX leading the nation in job creation unless you want to be a landscaper, grocery cashier, burger flipper, or baby sitter.
If Obama, the far left environmental conspirtors and the American haters would let us, we could become a prosperous, energy independent nation with work for all americans. We could marry this with a sensible, yet effective approach to clean coal technology, responsible marcellous shale drilling and dedicated wildlife habitiats. Instead we the people let the far left idiouts; Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Lisa Jackson et.al. steal our country and run it into the ground with us in it. We need to elect a God fearing, conservative government run by statesmen, not bankers, that police the finacial industry, not get in bed with them. We need this gonvernment to give businesses the freedom to operate and expand with only responsible regulation to prevent abuse, This can happen. No more Bushes, (Bush is the reason we have Obama) and no more Obamas.
People, people...
The current mess is a direct result of over 20 years of American corporations exporting good paying jobs overseas. Why? Because Joe Sixpack wants CHEAP goods, with the inevitable result that Joe Sixpack lost his job to China and now can't afford to buy anything.
It's about the jobs, people!

Although she does have some admirable qualities i find Bella kind of annoying. She is quite whiny and some times thinks of only herself disregarding the feelings of others. i also dont like the fact she ignores her human friends at the expanse of Edward. Isn't friendship more important than love?
i dunno..... just my opinion.Do you guys agree? or not? Please tell me what you guys think. <3
Views: 1119
I agree Nessie Black! The movies do go a bit off subject. And in the book, Bella really did annoy me in my opinion, and you can tell me I'm wrong all you like.
On one side, all the characters are so rude to each other. I know, vampire, werewolf, GRRR! But, they ALL don't have to be so snippy. I don't wanna start something.. so...
In the book she is nicer and much more polite.
Mmm, I agree. Bella is a bit more, well, I can relate to her more in the books.
I think it's pretty unfortunate that Bella ended up being so heavily criticised. Nobody's perfect. If Stephenie Meyer had given us a walking replica of perfection, I don't think the series would have worked. Bella is so thoroughly human. There are so many things I love about her.
She's incredibly mature for her age. I don't think many teenage girls would have volunteered to look after their parents rather than the other way around. She's a genuine person, who is devoid of all pretenses. She is refreshingly simple and innocent.
I mean, how cool is it that she happily drives around an ancient, worn-out truck without a hint of grumbling? ( I think the truck's a great symbolic representation of her personality.)
She's kind and protective of the people she loves. She has a great sense of humor, or so I think. Her sarcastic little remarks never fail to make me laugh.
To top it all off, she's intelligent for her age, has no interest in luxury, (that's an understatement, really. I mean, the girl didn't even own a cell phone) and she's just so easy to like.
As a human, Bella couldn't really be considered as anything extraordinary. But, beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, which is what draws so many people to her.
Beautifully plain - that's what I choose to describe Bella as.
So, I think she's perfectly suited to be the protagonist of this wonderful series. Of course, she does have faults, but most people look away from all her positive traits and choose to focus on the bad ones instead. I choose to look at her good side, and I like what I see. I totally love Bella.
So true! Bella is human throughout (most of) the saga! I love Bella's characteristics and personality! This question's replies really caught me by surprise... but some people only focus on the negative.I love Bella!!!

Lou Amundson signed a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Cavaliers, a league source confirmed. Although the Cavs' rebuilt roster is filling up fast, the veteran journeyman stands a decent chance at making the final cut.
Amundson, 31, has already played for eight teams in eight years, averaging 3.6 points and 3.5 rebounds. But he is a gritty defender and could bring a certain toughness to the post. He's listed at 6-foot-9 and 225 pounds, but the Cavs believe he can block shots and use his athleticism to defend at the center position despite being undersized.
Amundson's offensive limitations have forced him to bounce around the league, yet the Cavs certainly don't need any more scorers. They're looking for options in the post behind Anderson Varejao at center and they're impressed by Amundson's per 36 numbers.
Although he has played sparingly at many stops in his career, he averages 10.1 rebounds and 2 blocks per every 36 minutes he's on the floor.To read more or comment...
Nike unveiled LeBron James' newest shoe, the LeBron 12, at its headquarters Tuesday in Beaverton, Ore. The shoe, which retails for $200, will initially launch Oct. 1 in China and Oct. 11 globally.
James and the Cavaliers, incidentally, will be in Brazil on Oct. 11 playing his former team, the Miami Heat, in a preseason game. The shoe will have six more color schemes, which will launch sporadically between Oct. 30 and Dec. 20 – just in time for Christmas.
James is Nike's most powerful footwear mogul outside of the Jordan brand.
The full press release can be found here.To read more or comment...
Cavs tickets have been in demand since LeBron James announced his return — season-ticket packages sold out that same day. Additonally, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Friday that Xavier's allotment of 3,000 tickets to the Oct. 15 preseason game between the Cavs and Indiana Pacers sold out in 10 minutes.
Those tickets were set aside for Xavier season ticket holders and donors, according to the Enquirer, while students lined up around Cintas Center on Friday for their chance at 900 student tickets. The game will be played at Cintas Center on Xavier's campus.To read more or comment...
The Cavaliers announced the signing of Shawn Marion on Tuesday after he agreed to join the team last month. Terms of the deal were not released, but it's believed to be a one-year deal for the league minimum.
Marion, 36, joins the Cavs after spending the last five years with the Dallas Mavericks. He has been a starter throughout his 15 seasons, but will come off the bench for a Cavs team now loaded with talent.
"I'm excited to be a Cavalier," Marion said in a release. "I can see the hunger and mentality of everyone in the organization and l look forward to being a part of it. The goal is to win a championship and that's what I want."
Marion, a four-time All-Star, already won one title as a member of the Mavericks. He has averaged 15.8 points and 9 rebounds throughout his career, averaging 10.4 points and 6.5 rebounds last season with the Mavericks.To read more or comment...
Kyrie Irving appears to have escaped an injury scare relatively unscathed during Team USA's 95-71 victory against Ukraine in Thursday's World Cup preliminary round.
Irving landed hard on his tailbone and remained on the ground for several moments before he was helped off the court and limped to the locker room late in the game. Irving told ESPN after the game the fall looked worse than it was and wrote on his Twitter account he's fine.
"I'm all good everybody, just a tough fall," Irving wrote. "Appreciate the concern."
Irving told ESPN he will not miss any time. The Americans play again on Saturday in the round of 16 in Barcelona.To read more or comment...

Pairing Wine With Design at Darioush Winery in Napa, California
The brash, contemporary design at Darioush packs a punch: the Iran-quarried travertine walls, real Persian rugs, and Le Corbusier furniture make it look more like the Shah's California palace than a winery tasting room. Fortunately the wines live up to the architecture. Best known for its big, thrillingly complex cabernet blends, Darioush also makes good chardonnay, merlot, and shiraz, all with 100% of the respective varietal. Some of the cabs run hot, leading some to believe that they're released too early, but this is buy-and-hold wine; it'll be fine by the time you get around to drinking it. Call ahead about wine-and-cheese pairings. Wear nice shoes; this ain't Mondavi. Bottles cost $35 to $70, tastings $20.

PHOENIX, AZ (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers scored six runs in the final two innings Monday night to win at Arizona, 9-3. The score was tied at three in the eighth when Diamondbacks' reliever Will Harris came in with two out, and the Brewers did their damage. Ryan Braun and Jonathan Lucroy both walked. Aramis Ramirez then belted the game-winning hit with a two-run double. Khris Davis added an R-B-I single. The Crew scored three more in the ninth, highlighted by a two-run triple from Braun. Davis also had an R-B-I triple in the game, and Scooter Gennett homered to help Milwaukee win its fourth contest in its last six. Wily Peralta won his third straight start, giving up three runs in seven innings with six strikeouts. He's now 7-5. Harris took the loss in relief. He's 0-2. Diamondbacks' starter Brandon McCarthy gave up three runs in seven innings, and had a two-run single. Roger Kieschnick went 2 for 3 with an R-B-I and a run scored, as Arizona now lost 5 of 6. Brewers' center-fielder Carlos Gomez was held out with a tight hamstring. He has the Majors' longest streak for reaching base in 30 straight games. D-Backs' manager Kirk Gibson was ejected in the ninth for complaining about a call at third base after it was upheld by replay. The two teams will play again tonight. Brewers' right-hander Kyle Lohse faces Arizona southpaw Wade Miley. Pregame coverage on WHBL gets underway at 8:05.

I have a large-ish (30GB) SQL 2005 database that is being merge-replicated around our wan in a "hub and spoke" topology like this:
All of the subscriber servers replicate twice a night, so each day they all have each other's data. It works really well.
I have just set up a new server ("cor2") with SQL 2008 R2, and I want to introduce it into the replication schema with a view to phasing out the old subscribers and swapping in newer ones pointing to this new server.
So I'm wondering if I can back up the database on "cor" and restore it onto "cor2", then make "cor2" a publisher/distributor and have "cor" subscribe to it. Like this:
So I guess my questions are:

Matt, I have never done what you are describing and I cannot see your reasons for keeping 'cor' active, maybe they lie outside the replication processes? Personally I would stop replication on each of the subscribers and then the publisher - cor. Once that was all closed down I would backup the database and restore it to cor2 and then rebuild replication by setting cor2 as a publisher and then subscribing to it from each of the other servers. You can generate script to drop and create replication but in all honesty I have never seen them run without problems - going through the wizards always seems more reliable. YMMV.HTH

Thanks Fatherjack. Our main reason for wanting to keep "cor" in play is that the various subscribers are in remote sites (up to four hours away) and I didn't want to risk losing a remote desktop connection to them part way through the process. It's probably a small risk but one I wanted to mitigate.
Nov 08, 2010 at 01:32 AM Matt Hamilton
Once you 'commit' to the change then simply stopping SQL Agent will stop all jobs on the subscribers (I assume you are based where the publishers are?) and you can then take your time to stop and remove replication on each on in turn. If you lose the connection then nothing will happen until you get connected again. I, personally, would be more concerned about getting data out of sync between to publishers of the same data....

Men's Armored Motorcycle Jacket with Reflective Skulls MJ1501 Reviews:
Comment: the jacket fit s great. using their chart. feels nice very comfortable. I like everything about this jacket. give it 5 out of 5.
615 n. platte street, mexico.Mo 65265
Comment: Bought this jacket for my husband for his 45th birthday. He has about a 46 chest. He's 5' 5" tall and about 198 lbs give or take. This jacket was perfect. I searched and searched. It has the vents and the pocket room he wants and needs. The skulls look great. Not too over the top. The back of the jacket comes down over the waist long enough that he isn't constantly pulling it down. The material inside the sleeve at the wrist is stretchy and thick for those cold rides. Nice! He wore it on his first ride recently and he was comfortable. Started out 43 and got up to 56 in Southeast Texas and Louisiana. Hope this helps for those trying to choose. This one is a great choice! Perfect price and great shipping time.
Comment: Guess I should have told you I bought him an XL.
Vidor, Tx
Jafrum has all kinds of great items for adding to your spooky style like
helmets, jackets, masks, bracelets, wallet chains, and even some great items for
the kids like vests and jackets for creating little biker costumes or recreating
your favorite TV characters. All these items are on sale making them an
incredible value.
Of course the most common themes shared between the motorcycling community and
Halloween are skulls and skeletons. These first two jackets I'm going to show
you are very good examples. First, we have the vented and reflective textile
skeleton jacket. This jacket is perfect for warm fall days and cool fall nights.
The shell is made from a windproof water resistant material and features
zippered vents to promote airflow. This charcoal colored skeleton is made of a
highly reflective material so it is fairly subtle during the day but shines
brightly at night when hit with a headlight or a flashlight. The skeleton covers
the front and the back of the jacket and there are bones on the sleeves.
The next jacket I want to show you is the 1501 Skull jacket. This water
resistant jacket has a removable thermal liner and vents on the shoulders,
sleeves, and back for use in all kinds of riding conditions. The skulls and
razor wire are featured on the front, back, and sleeves of the jacket and are
highly reflective when light hits them at night.
For the childrens, we have quite a few jackets and vests for creating the
perfect mini Jax Teller from SOA or Lela from Disney's Teen Beach Movie. The
KJ-742 is made of 100% premium top grain Buffalo leather, so this isn't just a
cheaply made costume jacket, this is the real thing. The same jacket with the
same features is available in adult sizes so it doesn't get too much more
authentic than this. It features all metal zippers, a button down collar and
lapels, zippered gussets on the sleeves, and an adjustable waist belt. This
jacket is also available in pink, making it a very good choice for Lela or
Barbie costumes.
This next item is the HCI 100 Screaming Skulls half helmet. This DOT approved
lid has some pretty gnarly looking skulls on either side. And, a unique tribal
looking pattern that runs through the middle to the back.
We also carry a wide variety of biker themed bracelets and wallet chains. These
are not the cheaply made stamped versions. These are pretty heavy duty. Each
little feature is polished front and back and there are subtle features like
painted eye sockets and the spaces in between the teeth. There are numerous
variations. Some have big skulls, some have small, and some incorporate hands
and other bones. To check out the full selection, click the link below to go to
our website.
At Jafrum.com, you can also find a wide
variety of masks including numerous skull themed versions. Some are designed to
cover just the mouth. Some are designed to cover the whole face including the
forehead, and some are full balaclava style masks and cover the whole head for
maximum warmth. There are skulls with happy faces and skulls with something to
say, and even a couple of options that glow in the dark.

long island personal injury lawyer A enterprise attorney is a legal expert who normally requires care of an array of regulation associated issues in businesses. Legal professionals are properly skilled men and women who show up at four years of undergraduate university research prior to making use of to regulation faculty. There is stiff competitors to be admitted into these prestigious graduate applications.
An applicant should be vivid, reliable and motivated. He or she should pass entrance examinations as well as interviews. Once admitted, he or she need to examine extended hours and pass a difficult series of checks called the State Bar Examination.
These checks are divided into segments and are incredibly demanding, to say the least. Some authorized reps turn into general counsels for a broad range of demands whilst other folks specialize in certain concentrations such as family, divorce, criminal, immigration regulation, or individual injury. Organization law procedures handle an array of legalities for small or significant organizations. Some examples include:

C-h i (

h after entering Info to run a tutorial on using Info.
With a numeric argument n, C-h i selects the Info buffer '*info*<n>'. This is useful if you want to browse multiple Info manuals simultaneously. If you specify just C-u as the prefix argument, C-h i prompts for the name of a documentation file, so you can browse a file which doesn't have an entry in the top-level Info menu.
The help commands C-h F function <RET> and C-h K key, described above, enter Info and go straight to the documentation of function or key.
When editing a program, if you have an Info version of the manual

info-lookup-symbol) to find an entry for a symbol (keyword,
function or variable) in the proper manual. The details of how this
command works depend on the major mode.
If something surprising happens, and you are not sure what you typed,
use C-h l (

300 input keystrokes. If you see commands that you don't know, you can
use C-h c to find out what they do.
To review recent echo area messages, use C-h e
view-echo-area-messages). This displays the buffer
*Messages*, where those messages are kept.
Each Emacs major mode typically redefines a few keys and makes other

C-h b (

bindings now in effect: first the local bindings of the current minor
modes, then the local bindings defined by the current major mode, and
finally the global bindings (see Key Bindings). C-h s
displays the contents of the syntax table, with explanations of each
character's syntax (see Syntax Tables).
You can get a list of subcommands for a particular prefix key by
typing C-h (
describe-prefix-bindings) after the prefix
key. (There are a few prefix keys for which this does not
work—those that provide their own bindings for C-h. One of
these is <ESC>, because <ESC> C-h is actually
C-M-h, which marks a defun.)

Smile and Wave is a lifestyle blog dedicated to sharing my love of vintage, home decor, DIY's, and family moments. My husband, Brett, is a 2LT in the Army and we are currently making our home in Colorado Springs with our two kids, Sebastian and Ruby, and our dog, Sunday. I've been blogging since April 2007 as a means to connect with like-minded, creative, inspiring women and have felt the support of the handmade community so strongly as our family has made the transition from one baby to two, moving three times in five years, job changes, life decisions, creative challenges, and currently settling into our life with the Army.
I've been a student, a waitress, a nanny, an ESL teacher, and now someone who writes e-courses and blogs. I do it for so many reasons but mostly because it meets a lot of needs in my life. It offers connections during a time of transition and often times isolation but also challenges me to be a better wife, mom, friend, and creative soul. It drives me. It scratches an itch. It nourishes something important. It assists my family financially. It lets me document our family life in ways I might not otherwise. I do it for so many of the same reasons you may do it. I like being a blogger.
These days I split my time between wiping faces, thrift store adventures, building stuff, sloppy kisses, and Netflix dates. I'm most comfortable in a dress and flats. I love old movies. I have a piano that won't fit through our doorway. I will always say yes to building a fort.
This man stole my heart at the tender age of 18 after English class on the first day of college. We married two years later and are celebrating our 10th anniversary this summer.

IBM announced it is get viagra without prescription expanding global efforts of greening up, not necessarily just for the wholesomeness of it, but because it'll counter the get viagra prescription now rising energy costs of operation and http://eatingdisorderrecovery.com/best-online-levitra meet corporate sustainability requirements for clients (meaning more clients for them!) – which is a good enough reason for me.
We wrote over a year ago about Project Big Green, IBM's commitment to getting new technologies to increase energy efficiency in data centers. See, on the one hand, CIOs want greener tech infrastructures that will meet business requirements, and on the other hand, CFOs want near-instant financial benefits from these investments. So, IBM launched Project Big Green to satisfy these goals, and now they're committing an additional $1 billion to it.
Already in the last year, IBM has helped cut over 2,000 clients' energy costs by as much as 40% through better data center hardware, software, and services technologies. Such a huge company can hold some major clout in the green movement, and while we greenies tend to http://wffisher.com/buy-levitra-where demand More Now, any steps towards greener tech by major corporations are steps that other companies will follow, and thus increase the speed of the green movement's growth. In conjunction with other companies and through solo efforts, IBM is making doing more than just talk the talk, from improving efficiency of RAM to better, cheaper solar power, from sharing environmental tech patents to showing green is business savvy. Their ongoing commitment is additional proof of Big Blue's plan to see Project Big Green through.
PS: Photo is of buying propecia a new IBM modular data center, the most environmentally friendly data center ever designed. They can be dropped off at client sites and instantly reduce energy costs by as much as 50%. Yet another seriously awesome advancement by IBM towards their Project Big Green goals. A long list of their new data server products, services, and even financing services can be found here.

Gather up any group of kids and there's a good chance Minecraft is their game of choice.
It is a digital sandbox of sorts where users take out the occasional zombie and primarily use geometry and math to build levels and worlds inside a virtual-looking Legoland.
Nearly 30 million people play on PCs, gaming systems, tablets, and smart phones. Some kids log two or three hours a day exchanging ideas and strategies online. Some parents don't see many negatives.
Joel Levin created MinecraftEdu, a company that runs a version of the game as a teaching tool. He recently linked up for a class with the American Museum of Natural History.
"If you're a history teacher you can create an ancient civilization and have your students explore it," he said. "If you're a science teacher you can set up experiments."
