EMG -ZW Zakk Wylde 81/85 Humbucker SetWith scorching riffs and remarkable stage presence, Zakk Wylde has earned his reputation as heavy metal's premier lead guitarist. From Ozzy Osbourne, Pride and Glory, and now Black Label Society, Zakk has always used EMG active pickups. The Zakk Wylde model features the EMG-85 and EMG-81, as used on his signature bull's-eye Les Paul guitar. Installation is literally a snap—it's solderless, just use the included Quck-connect cables. EMG-85 Although the EMG-85 pickup has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet-loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy low end and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. It's a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge. The midrange has great definition and doesn't get foggy or muddy in the rhythm position. The EMG-85 works best if you like the natural distortion that comes from overdriving the front end of your amp. Under any condition, the humbucker responds accurately to your technique. EMG-81 The EMG-81 pickup is a high-output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock 'n' roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one. Distortion during lead passages is consistent, sustain is long and the breakup fades smoothly. The ceramic magnet in combination with wide aperture steel poles lend a quick attack but the tone stays nice and fat at the same time. Perfect if you're the only guitarist in the band, and need to switch from rhythm to lead and still keep the band moving. Another great thing about the EMG-81 humbucker is it's quiet. If you're playing at really high gain the last thing you need is noise.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

dressing from the shoes up: part II
party up top, business down low.
theres a certain appeal to the jeans & t shirt look. its easy, its comfortable and its - well it's easy and comfortable. the simplicity and casual vibe of this look leave a surprising amount of room for anything and everything else.
when you cross a guy whose taking this route (assuming it all fits), theres not much hesitation. your eyes don't spend time inspecting the seams of the t shirt or edge of the denim. but this look caters to the accessories - in my case some nice new shoes & a denim wrist tie.
this is my second pair of Florsheim Veblens and i know they can really take a beating, so i'm wasting no time this summer doing just that. i opted for a slightly different color this time around because i've been wanting to try out the versatility of gray shoes.
stay on the look out for a great opportunity from florsheim x me

We chose to name our group "The White Rose" to honor the free speech, pro-democratic group named "The White Rose" founded in Munich Germany in 1938. Adolf Hitler despised their ideals and ordered that they be arrested. Because of the Rose members loyalty to one another, it was one of the hardest cases the Gestapo ever had to break. They finally identified a Rose member, and tortured him until he gave up the names of the other Roses. To make an example of how despicable their ideals were to Hitler, he had them beheaded. Today they are considers martyrs of free speech, and Phila: the type of love and loyalty that develops between friends. PS. Once the defeat of Hitler was insured, the Americans dropped Hitler a little gift. Their bombers blanketed his dying Reich with phamphlets from the original "White Roses" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose
ROSE MEMBERS: Like the rose flower, come in all different sizes shapes and colors. They represent every different ideology and religious belief. Every age and every level of education, and they were born with a dozen different native tongues. We Roses, admit that each person is different, but we have decided not to see our differences, but to focus on what have in common. As "The Twilight Saga" teaches, we believe that love is universal. And so our motto is: "We Respect, and Support one another"
Dear Doc, WHY SO MANY PICTURES ? ? ?

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
- See our Expungement Information Page.
- If you are currently represented by an attorney inform him or her immediately. The attorney can place you on the court's calendar to clear it up. If you do not have an attorney, call the number to Room 111 (above) and find out which court issued the bench warrant. You will then need to hire an attorney or contact the Public Defender's Office to take care of calendaring it, or you can calendar it yourself by calling the Court Clerk's office with the bench warrant number or case number. Bear in mind there are no guarantees that you will not be arrested on the bench warrant until you appear in court.
- To find out if you have a have a bench warrant for your arrest you should contact your attorney. You may also contact the Court Clerk's office located at the Yolo Superior Court, Criminal Division, 725 Court Street, Room 111, Woodland, California 95695, (530) 406-6705. Time permitting, the clerk on duty will do a search for you. It is recommended that you make inquiries with room 111 by telephone.
- In many respects, a defense lawyer's belief in a client's guilt or innocence is irrelevant. That determination is the job of the judge or jury under our adversarial system of justice. Under the federal and state constitutions, every person charged with a crime by the government is entitled to competent legal representation. The job of a criminal defense lawyer is not only to insure that the innocent are not convicted, it also consists of making sure that charges and punishment are meted out in a fair and evenhanded manner.
First, if you can afford to hire a private attorney, you do not qualify for the services of the public defender and should hire your own lawyer. The Public Defender's Office only represents people who cannot afford to hire an attorney. There are a number of fine criminal defense lawyers in private practice in Yolo County; however, because we are a government agency we cannot recommend any particular lawyer.
The Yolo County Public Defender's Office is made up of people who practice nothing but criminal law. The salary range of an attorney in the Public Defender's Office is commensurate with attorneys in the District Attorney's Office. Public Defender lawyers are in court doing criminal cases nearly every day. They know all the "ins and outs" of the courts in which they practice.
The Yolo County Public Defender's Office has the benefit of outstanding in-house support services including a professional investigative staff, clerical staff, interns and law clerks, as well as the shared knowledge and experience of the many lawyers in the office.
- Generally speaking, no. However, persons involved in the following kinds of "civil" cases are often represented by a public defender: Minors in juvenile delinquency cases, parents in juvenile dependency cases, proposed conservatees in L.P.S. and probate convervatorship cases, and persons accused of contempt in civil cases if they are otherwise unable to afford private counsel. If you are being sued, have immigration problems, are being evicted, have a worker's compensation claim, etc., you may qualify for assistance from other agencies, however, as a general rule you will not qualify for the services of a public defender.
- Our office can speak to you about your case prior to court appointment if you desire. Practically speaking, however, our office won't be able to have a complete discussion with you about your case until we receive the relevant police reports and other discovery from the District Attorney's Office.
- No. Once you are represented in a case by any attorney other than a public defender, either appointed or retained, the public defender will not speak with you about that case absent your attorney's permission.
At your first court appearance there is usually a deputy public defender who is there to assist you. If you are out of custody, you may be asked to fill out a financial declaration, under penalty of perjury, to determine if you qualify for the services of the Office of the Public Defender or if you are financially able to hire a private attorney. You may also be directed to speak to an agent of Yolo County Collection Services (YCCS) located at 625 Court St, Rm 103, Woodland, CA 95695. The phone number is (530) 666-8668. A $50 registration fee is required if you can afford it.
If you are in custody a public defender is usually automatically appointed unless private counsel has already been retained. If you have retained counsel but are unable to afford his or her continued representation, inform the court as soon as possible that you would like a public defender.

A driver died from his injuries early Sunday morning, after his pickup truck overturned in a field off County Road 5-2 in Fulton County.
The Toledo Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that 23-year-old Nathan Parsons, of Delta, Ohio, was behind the wheel when the Ford F-150 crashed around 2 a.m.
Patrolmen say Parsons lost control and drove off the left side of the roadway before crashing. Parsons was ejected from his vehicle.
Two of Parsons' three passengers were also ejected from the vehicle and suffered serious injuries.
According to authorities, 23-year-old Aaron Betz, of Delta, and 21-year-old Paige Simon, of Metamora, were transported to Toledo-area hospitals.
A third passenger, 22-year-old Ashley Herr, of Metamora, suffered minor injuries. Patrolmen say she was in the backseat and wearing her seatbelt.
The crash remains under investigation. It is unknown if alcohol played a factor.

I just read an incredible interview with Paul Stamets, a mycologist (a.k.a. fungus scientist) who has written a number of books, including one called Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save The World.
Although fungus may not sound particularly exciting or interesting, I think you may change your mind after hearing what Stamets has to say.
A few tidbits from the interview:
- The largest organism in the world is a mycelial mat in eastern Oregon that covers 2,200 acres and is more than two thousand years old.
- These mycelial mats are sentient and in constant communication with themselves -- they use many of the same neurotransmitters that humans use to communicate!
- Fungi are the vast recyclers of the natural world. They're capable of breaking down toxic substances, pollutants, etc., into their fundamental elements -namely things like carbon dioxide and water.
The interview was published in the February issue of The Sun magazine and you can click here to read the first few pages of it on their site (but you have to order the print issue to read the full piece.)
OR you can read this Salon.com interview with him.
OR you can watch Paul Stamets' talk on the TED web site - click here to watch him.
He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the fungi he studies and about saving our environment, and refreshingly sane and down to earth. Plus he just seems like a fun guy (sorry, I couldn't resist...)
There is also lots more info on his web site at http://www.fungi.com

This 'left for dead' stock has soared 400%
Once a casualty of the mortgage meltdown, Fannie Mae is now solidly profitable. But its future is in the hands of Congress.
I sheepishly raised my hand to ask the real estate guru a simple question during a "no money down"-type investment seminar in Florida back in the 1990s.
"What happens when real estate prices stop appreciating and banks refuse to lend to support your investments?"
The guru literally jumped backward, visibly disturbed someone would even think in such a way. "Impossible!" he exclaimed. "That will never happen!"
Well, the guru couldn't have been more wrong. The overheated real estate market collapsed in 2008, bringing down the house-of-cards mortgage market along with it. The largest casualty was the quasi-governmental mortgage giant Fannie Mae (FNMA).
The U.S. government had to take the once-thriving entity into conservatorship for its very survival. This allowed Fannie Mae to use Treasury funds to support its operations. This maneuver resulted in a once highly-regarded stock plunging into penny-stock status.
But things are changing and changing fast, which may mean opportunity for investors with this left-for-dead stock.
The rebound in the real estate market has allowed Fannie Mae to post an astounding $58 billion in profits during its first quarter of 2013. This rebound resulted in shares soaring more than 400% in the past three months.
Investors should beware, however, as things are not as they seem on the surface. Fannie Mae is required to pay all its profits to the Treasury Department in the form of dividends; shareholders get nothing but the trading value of the stock. The good news is that Fannie Mae has paid back $95 billion of the $116 billion it borrowed.
Fannie Mae looked like a great speculative investment, attracting hedge funds such as Fairholme Capital Management, which plunged in with a bullish $500 million wager. However, as seen May 29, Fannie Mae still faces stiff political headwinds against its survival.
That day, shares plunged nearly 25% on word of a bipartisan committee seeking to dismantle and replace Fannie Mae and its sibling, Freddie Mac, with a single entity to guarantee mortgages. If enacted, the Corker-Warner bill would wipe out Fannie Mae's shareholders. Talk about risk!
It's critical to remember that it could take years for Congress to decide how to replace Fannie Mae. In the meantime, the agency could be a cash cow for the government, as well as shareholders.
Can Fannie Mae Survive?
While I have a hard time imagining the government giving up a cash cow like Fannie Mae for another unproven entity, stranger things have happened. Just the fear of a possible government-sponsored destruction of the mortgage guarantor resulted in shares plunging.
Remember, perception rather than reality drives short-term stock prices. It's critical to keep in mind that the Obama administration has said repeatedly that it wants Fannie Mae to be wound down. While short-term profits are possible, just what needs to happen to ensure the long-term viability of Fannie Mae?
1. Obama Leaves Office
Fannie Mae bulls need to hope that the agency survives until early 2017 when Obama leaves office, replaced by a pro-Fannie Mae administration.
2. Congress Takes Action
We could see a congressional bill to preserve Fannie Mae, once Congress starts to overhaul the nation's $10 trillion mortgage market. As I see it, preserving Fannie Mae is the path of least resistance. Therefore, this actually could occur in the next few years.
3. Shareholders File A Lawsuit
Shareholders could sue to challenge the conservatorship agreements that allow the Treasury Department to seize any profits and have the dividends redistributed to the shareholders. Once the Treasury is made whole by Fannie Mae, Treasury officials may have a difficult time supporting the need to continue to be paid.
Risks to Consider: The risks are clearly political for Fannie Mae investors. While things may look dire in that area, anything can happen in Washington. Keeping Fannie Mae as a viable entity appears to be the path of least resistance for the government. Remember, only invest in this much risk with money you can afford to lose. While the upside is huge, there is a strong potential you could lose your entire investment.
Action to Take: I am watching Fannie Mae closely. I like it as a possible buy should the price break out above $3 or break down to below 75 cents. Once again, this is a very risky trade and only suitable for nimble investors who are willing to take a risk. With that said, I think there is huge upside potential here, at least for the short term.
More from StreetAuthority
If the feds are gong to continue to guaranty loans we should have strict guidelines for them,
No adjustable rate mortgages, it's nothing but a suckers ploy to buy what you can't afford.
No interest only loans, keep the speculators out of the market.
No stated income loans, if you don't have a pay stub or proof of income, no $
No sub prime mortgages, if your credit sucks, to bad so sad.
Banks must hold all loans and not sell them on the derivative market, if it's a good loan, why would you sell it anyways.
Any fraudulent lending must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
This is the least the government owes us for bailing out the crooks who stole from us.

My fiancé and I made last minute reservations while on a spur of the moment vacation. Evelyn was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to check in late and offered us breakfast at 9:30 (we were able to sleep in!) We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast (fresh whipped cream, and she was willing to work with a vegetarian) and an incredibly comfortable, private room. We loved it here and hope to be back!
2,2 sur août 18, 2012
After receiving our visa payment and providing my drivers license for ID Evelyn, the proprietor gave us a choice of 7:30 or 8:00 AM breakfast, as that was when the other guests wanted it. When we protested Evelyn told us that we were expected at 2 PM (the current time was 5 PM) and inquired as to whether we had stayed at a B&B before. I ensured Evelyn that we have been staying at B&Bs for years and had never been offered breakfast so early. After I reminded her that we are on vacation she relented. We were showed a room with dark shag w/w carpets floor, walls and ceiling. We were told that the shower worked but that there was a part on order. We later discovered that the shower only worked when we held the center knob out. We ran out of hot water during our second shower. We were told the toilet (with 30 year old plumbing and undersized seat) worked but that there was a part on order. The toilet worked once. We called Evelyn and she turned on the toilet taps. 30 mins later we called her again and she fixed the toilet lever. In the morning the toilet failed again, and I had only luke warm water to shave. Evelyn told us a second part was on order for the toilet. I confronted Evelyn and she gave us another room for our second night with updated plumbing which was most suitable. The following day we travelled to Portland and I discovered that my drivers license was missing. I called Evelyn had she confirmed that she had it. The courier fee cost me $40. Garth, Vancouver BC
Réponse du propriétaire
From the beginning Country Retreat Bed & Breakfast attempted to accommodate these guests in every way. The list of inaccuracies in this review is long. We haven't had much experience with those who are unhappy with our establishment (as you can see by the other comments). Many different times for breakfast are offered and no one is forced to any specific time other than breakfast is only served until 10am because checkout time is 11am. Check-in is from 3pm-7pm. Anyone can arrive at any time, just like to know when someone will be later than 7pm so that we can be available for them. The part on order was for another bathroom. The Aztec Room shower worked and continues to work just fine, hot water and all. We have a family member who is a retired plumber and checked everything out. Everything was working upon their arrival. We always want to accommodate our guests and that is why we moved them to another room. When he called asking about this license, I did not know where it was at that time, I told him, that both rooms had been cleaned and no license was found but that I would look for it. We looked everywhere for his license, he is very fortunate because we found it in a plant next to the check-in desk. He must have dropped it there when I handed his drivers license and credit card back to him at check-in. I called him back, I asked him how he would like me to send it, he wanted me to mail it to him express to Canada. If you ask me, he's lucky that I found his license.
4,6 sur novembre 16, 2011
My husband and I stayed here on our trip up the coast. As recommended we stayed in the Aztec room, which was cozy and retro (not sure what went wrong for the folks in the review below, but we didn't experience the same issues; toilet flushed on first try, bathtub drained, and the room was temperate). The breakfast was substantial; our only complaint was that we couldn't finish. The hostess was knowledgable about the local region and prepared a sack lunch for our hike on the pacific coastal trail. Recommended for a peaceful and secluded coastal getaway.
1,4 sur septembre 08, 2011
Lets start with our arrival...She did not answer the door and we almost left, and should have. However, we did walk around back and finally found the hostess. She told us to meet her back at the front door, where she told us we had to remove our shoes before entering. This is a firm rule, even if you are going back and forth bringing your luggage in. She showed us to our room which was an uncomfortable 81 degrees. She had the heater on with the outside temp at 85 degrees. We asked if she could turn off the heater and turn on the air conditioning which was on in the rest of the house. We also asked if we could open the slider to get a little air and were told it could only be open during daylight hours. She did turn on the air for us, but turned it off during the night and we woke up in an 80+ degree room in the middle of the night. The jacuzzi can only be used during daylight hours too. As far as the Aztec room goes, there is golden long shag carpet on the floor, walls and ceiling. If you have allergies, you don't belong here. The bathroom has a avocado green sink, tub and toilet. The shower does not drain well, so be prepared to stand in 4 inches of water. The "round" black toilet seat on the "elongated" avocado toilet does not acommodate the average human behind and you must flush between 4 to 6 times to even get toilet paper to go down. This room and bathroom have not been updated since the 70s. This is not a suite and this is not a B&B. The owner is a nice elderly woman that should not be in this business. She cooked a marginal breakfast and we left while she was still on an extended phone call. That which is represented on the website is not what you get.

It was hot that day, however, I had the air conditoner thermostat set at 68 degrees before they arrived and it remained on that setting until after they checked out the next morning. Guests are allowed to open their doors and use the Jacuzzi any time during their stay. The Aztec room shower drains properly and the commode flushes just fine. Their breakfast menu was: coffee, tea, orange juice, a large platter of fresh fruit, 3 thick slices of bacon each, home fries, eggs as they liked them and home made biscuits with butter and jam. The gentlemen ate all of his breakfast and some of hers. Our guests come first. We tell each guest after checking in to let us know if there are any problems with their room or anything else. We are always available to help whenever needed. These guests did not complain to us about anything other than it was hot outside.

A.J. Pollock beat out a run-scoring infield single in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Washington manager Davey Johnson into retirement on a losing note with a 3-2 win over the Nationals on Sunday.
After losing the series' first two games, the Diamondbacks scratched out a pair of runs off Ryan Mattheus (0-2) in the eighth inning to finish the season at .500 (81-81). Martin Prado had a run-scoring single in the inning and Pollock dove into first safely after hitting a comebacker that bounced off Mattheus.
David Hernandez (5-6) pitched a perfect eighth and Brad Ziegler closed out the ninth for his 13th save. Arizona played 1,538 innings this season, breaking the major league record set by the 1964 Yankees.
Washington failed in the final game of a career by Johnson that spanned six decades, but still finished 11 games above .500 at 86-76.

You only achieve a certain level of respect from the rest of the automotive world when you somehow end up in a precarious situation and, instead of letting a crash get the worst of you, you rise above it and soldier on.
That's exactly what happened to the people behind the wheel of this Local Motors Rally Fighter . During the recent Parker 425 off-road race in Arizona last week, as the driver of the Rally Fighter somehow performs a memorable front somersault after hitting a bump on the desert trail. The Rally Fighter initially landed on its rear after the 360-degree flip and somehow, thanks to gravity, the racer got back up on all fours and sped away detached hood and all, as if the whole scene was planned all along.
Now, that's how you turn a potentially horrific crash into an episode people will be talking about for years to come!

Ysaÿe speaks and sings like no one else: there is so much imagination and love in the way he plays
Lekeu Violin Sonata in G major
Christian Ferras (violin) Pierre Barbizet (piano)
Christian Ferras is my biggest inspiration in terms of intensity. His vibrato is pure fire and his sound has no boundaries. Lekeu could have been one of the major composers of his time if he hadn't died aged 24. There is urgency but maturity in Ferras's playing: generosity in every note. The slow movement is perfection, raising music to a pinnacle of beauty rarely achieved by mankind.
Wagner Tristan and Isolde
Soloists, Dresden Staatskapelle/Carlos Kleiber
This is the recording I would take to a desert island. There are outbursts of raw power and it is filled with grace as well – either it brings me to tears or I feel ecstatic. On a more personal level, it brings back dear memories: I fell in love with my future boyfriend as I watched him working on this score, rehearsing it, and then conducting it.
Ysaÿe Mazurkas
Eugène Ysaÿe (violin)
I met Eugène Ysaÿe's family in 2009 and received a never-edited CD with gems played by Ysaÿe himself in 1910. His grandson told me it was not for the public, because most people listening to it wouldn't understand what was so great about Ysaÿe: there are intonation issues and poor recording conditions. But Ysaÿe speaks and sings like no one else: there is so much imagination and love in the way he plays.
Brahms Violin Concerto in D major
Ginette Neveu, Philharmonia Orchestra/Issay Dobrowen
This is an exceptional performance. It is not without its flaws, but for me Neveu comes closest to balancing the powerful nature of such a masterpiece and the lyrical and poetic sense needed at several moments. The tension she creates is impressive and the risks she takes have always been a model for me.
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor
Frank Peter Zimmermann, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra/Gerd Albrecht
I fell in love with this recording when I was seven years old. I remember listening to it over and over that year, when I was stuck in bed for four days with a high fever, and thought it was delicious to be able to listen to this heavenly music all day. I decided to become a professional violinist at that time, and Zimmermann has always remained an inspiration.

Sandy continues to hold economy back
The ADP Employment report says the storm produced 86,000 job cuts. The storm affected a host of industries, although clean-up efforts will boost the economy later.
The short answer is well into 2013. But after the first of the year, it may start to be an economic stimulus. "Many industries responsible for clean-up, reparations, salvage, and emergency services benefit in the aftermath of severe weather," economist Ellen Zentner of Nomura Securities wrote clients Wednesday.
Sandy's short-term effects are continuing to be seen. The ADP National Employment Report said Wednesday that the storm probably cut employment gains in the private sector by 86,000 jobs. ADP estimated that the private sector did add 118,000 jobs in November.
The Labor Department issues its November employment report on Friday, with the consensus estimate showing a gain of 100,000 jobs. Without Sandy, the estimate might be closer to 171,000 jobs. The national unemployment rate is expected to hold at 7.9%.
In addition, there were indications that Sandy affected the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index report for November, released Wednesday. The non-manufacturing index rose to 54.7%, better than October's 54.2% and above the consensus estimate of 53.5%.
While a reading above 50% suggests the non-manufacturing economy continues to expand, Sandy "wreaked havoc" on the job market, as Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi put it. Moody's crunches the data for ADP.
The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality and temporary-help industries were especially hard hit by Sandy.
But Sandy had some positive impacts before the storm hit. Many companies that provided emergency supplies to people and businesses affected by the storm started to marshal supplies ahead of the storm so they could be brought in quickly.
Business activity overall jumped to 61.2% from 55.4% in October. New orders jumped from 54.8% to 58.1% and backlogs also expanded. Employment fell back, mostly because of Sandy.
Sandy and the worries over the effects of a fiscal cliff may well produce a weak fourth quarter of economic growth. IHS Global Insight sees fourth-quarter GDP growing just 1%, compared with 2.7% in the third quarter.
For Wednesday, however, the fiscal cliff looks like it will be attacked successfully. That's the main reason the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were up 82 points to 13,034, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) up 2 points to 1,409.
The gains for the Dow and the S&P 500 were their first after two losses in a row.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) and Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX) slumped 23 points to 2,974 and 30 points to 2,638, respectively -- their third straight losses. The declines were largely due to a sharp decline in shares of Apple (AAPL). Apple was off $37.05 to $538.79 and is down 23.4% from its Sept. 19 closing high.
More from Money Now
The problem with ideologues on both sides of the issue is that neither understands the one basic overriding rule of a lasting economy. The rule is this: Human nature means it is impossible for either pure capitalism or socialism to have a long term thriving economy. Only a hybrid of both works and this is because for capitalism to work you have to have a middle class and for socialism you must have those who drive the economy.
The history channel series on the Men Who Made America Great lays it out without actually mentioning it. The great drivers of this countries early infrastructure such as Vanderbilt and Rockefeller and Carnegie and Morgan all made a lot of money for themselves but they left the rest of the population in poverty. It wasn't till the government instituted antitrust laws that people like Ford and the unions were able to create the middle class.
We can let neither ideology take control of our country. I urge all those who are so strident in their support for one ideology or the other to study history a little more closely than the quick once over they got in high school. History and people are a great deal more complex than you learned in school and the relationship between the two is very complex.
Sandy is just one region of the country.The sale of Mercedes is thru the roof.They can`t make
them fast enough.The NY media likes to concentrate on the northeast.Most of the
economy is doing fine.The Dow is over 13,000 and there`s been 33 straight months of
job growth.Don`t believe the mostly right wing media.

A stunning movie with sublime music. Those who are not familiar with western classical music may not enjoy it as thoroughly as those who are. But the clever script, subtle direction and brilliant acting make it a treat for anyone with a good taste.

Though I've loved watching this film, I now know far more of Mozart's music and things have changed. It could be the residual affect of this geniuses music, and the reference with which it brings to the listener. But I find the film to be a bit silly at times, and even the parts that are performing some of Mozart's most glorious music seem to be juxtaposed with some silliness from one of the characters. A perfect case in point in the part where The Marriage of Figaro is having its debut, and the camera keeps going to the Italian musical faction of the court and their grimacing expressions. It could be that I as a devoted fan find that rather difficult to believe? Still there could have been a bit more reference for this music, even if the composer himself might have recited a rude joke or two.

I disagree about Elizabeth Berridge, who I thought was perfect for the role. Her guilelessness in the scene in which she has surruptitiously brought Mozart's scores to Salieri in lieu of an audition for a teaching post is the perfect contrast to Salieri's anguish as he examines evidence of Mozart's profligate, proliferating genius. The sound editing, as the music "shuffles" from score to score - culminating in the overwhelming soprano high note from a Kyrie - is brilliant. This is my favorite scene in all of cinema. The film is a masterpiece and it improves with repeated viewings.

I guess your really have to like Mozart's music to like this movie. I don't like the former and didn't like the latter. Well what if Mozart was a spoiled brat? Ah, but he made great music! And that's basically where the movie sits. Mozart and his music is what the Beatles is to this century. Highly overrated.

The Unforgivable Sin - Sermon Videos
1,701 views
Here is the nonprofit that inspired (read below) this video: http://ow.ly/bMEHE I give them $1.00 monthly to help orphans. Can you? http://ow.ly/bMEH8 I recently went on a trip to Uganda and while over there God really started to work in my heart. I realized
how frivolous we American Christians can be sometimes about certain sins and behaviors. There is nothing wrong with concerning ourselves with discernment or wanting to have a good conscience about certain things, but I realized I usually concentrate on certain
sins, in order to cover up the fact I neglect the weightier ones like Jesus talks about. The nonprofit I was with helped by asking for only a dollar a month (in hopes of getting many people to join and unify to the cause) to help give water, education, and
micro finance to underprivileged people overseas. It was a beautiful thing to see how me just giving one dollar actually was paying for housing, food, clean water, and education in places like Uganda. To be honest I don't even realize when the $1.00 comes
out of my account because it's so small. So my question to you is can we take an honest look at our life and ask whether or not we are living in simple obedience of Jesus' commands? We can be the hands of feet of Jesus and I now know from personal experience
that preaching the gospel while also providing and serving the basic needs of others is one of the most joy filled lives we could have. A life lived for serving others, is a life not wasted. Dollar For The Poor's Website: http://ow.ly/bMEJH MY INFO Facebook:

Officially, the South East of England consists of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight, although there are many different popular definitions of South East England. What ever your definition, the region is a magnificent place to go on holiday, take a holiday cottage and relax. It is both rich in historical cities, open seas and wonderful countryside, open for numerous activities.
Kent, the 'garden of England', is England's oldest county, shaped by many centuries of violent history. This turbulent past which has shaped the county is celebrated today, from the preservation of prominent historical monuments and castles to the home of Winston Churchill. Wakeboarding is Kent's new love, and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this exciting new sport from a South East England cottage in Kent.
East Sussex is a rural haven for walking, trout fishing and cycling. The spectacular coastline which contains the famous Seven Sisters, Beachy Head and Rye Harbour Nature Reserve has long been a magnet for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders. The pebble beaches baked by the iconic British beach huts are ideal places to sit, swim and picnic.
Being a mainly rural destination, mountain biking, horse riding and trout fishing are all extremely popular activities in the South East of England, perfectly catered for by taking a holiday rental property. Sailing on the Medway between Chichester and Dover is an unforgettable possibility, especially if you can sail past the iconic white cliffs of Dover from your South East England holiday cottage.
South East England has a huge number of unique attractions for all ages and interests. The Planet Earth Museum, Sussex Past and Royal Pavilion in East Sussex, Butterfly Centre, Chislehurst Caves, Dover Castle and Chatham Historic Dockyards in Kent, Birdworld, Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey and the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum in West Sussex create magnificent options for family holiday entertainment wherever you decide to take a holiday cottage in South East England.
If you don't know what to do have a look to our Holiday Idea page
Kent International Airport (MSE) and Shoreham Airport (ESH) are the two airports in the middle of the region, andLondonHeathrow (LHR) is on the boundary of South East England, so there should be no trouble reaching a holiday cottage in South East England. However, often rail or car is the easiest way to discover the region.

It appears that Erik Karlsson is getting closer to making a return to the Ottawa Senators' lineup.
The team said on Friday that the Norris Trophy-winning defenceman has been cleared for contact and will focus on getting into game shape.
Senators general manager Bryan Murray told reporters that Karlsson saw doctors on Thursday where he received the good news.
Karlsson fully participated in Ottawa's practice on Friday.
"It's nice to be back with the team and being able to participate in practice is something that's been a while since I did so obviously it feels really good just to be out there," said Karlsson. "Even if it wasn't the hardest practice in the world, it's still a nice boost mentally."
The 22-year-old blueliner had his left achilles tendon cut by the skate of Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke on Feb. 13 and had surgery to repair it.
At the time the team feared that Karlsson would miss three to four months, but Karlsson is nearing a return after just over nine weeks.
"It's tough to say exactly how good I feel, obviously I don't feel like I used to," said Karlsson. "As long as I don't get any pain or have any setbacks and I wake up tomorrow and it feels like it did today or even better, it's a good sign and shows that I can keep doing what I'm doing and push forward."
Head coach Paul MacLean said that there is no timetable for Karlsson's return to game action, but when the defenceman says he's ready, the team will consider playing him.
"He looks like Erik Karlsson so I think it's a real positive for the team and a good shot of energy for the team," said MacLean. "We'll just have to see where it goes and what it leads to."
Karlsson had six goals and four assists in 14 games when he suffered the injury. Despite playing the majority of their season without their top blueliner, the Senators stand sixth in the Eastern Conference and are closing in on a post-season berth.

The spirit of giving this holiday season was working overtime this Christmas Eve at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
The Greater Chicago Food Depository's massive warehouse on Chicago's Southwest Side holds millions of cans and boxes of food donated by companies and individuals. It requires a lot of help getting the supplies out the door and onto the plates of those who need it.
"What's happening right now behind me is they're sorting food donations from our 1 City, 1 Food Drive effort. FOX is a partner in that. The food is sorted in our warehouse. It's sorted by volunteers. Then it's shipped right back out into the community to our network of 650 programs, pantries, soup kitchens and shelters," said Paul Morello of the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
The numbers are astounding. It's a year-round operation that provides 66 million pounds of food, including 21 million pounds of fresh produce, to 860,000 men, women and children in Cook County.
This Christmas Eve, more than 70 volunteers helped out, including members of the Illinois State Youth Auxiliary.
"It's something to make everyone happy…I would like to help others," said volunteer Kadeesha Towers.
When asking another volunteer if they see hunger, their response was, "I see it all the time. I see it with homeless people and neighborhoods," said Ruth English.
Sandy Scheide and her family have been volunteering on Christmas Eve for years.
"My family, my husband and our three children are extremely blessed, and there are so many that are unfortunate out there, more so now than ever. And I just think it's something small we can do to make a difference," Sandy said.
Particular lines are packing supplies for Chicago Public School children. They have canned ravioli, some condensed soup, goldfish crackers, cereal, etc. The supplies are put into bags as they move down the line. Then bags are tied, put into boxes and sent to Chicago Public Schools where they're given to students who take them home after school.
"We absolutely do see demand growing, and that's contrary to what a lot of people think. A lot of people see the stock market going up, the economy getting better. But the fact of the matter is since 2008 we've seen a 68 percent increase in the number of visits to food pantries," said Morello.
And hunger doesn't just happen around the holidays. Volunteers and donations are needed year round.

Tip: The BBB is not running a lottery
Scammers claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau are ripping people off.
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
If you can't trust the Better Business Bureau, whom can you trust?
The organization is warning about a new scam that is using its good name in order to steal tens of thousands of dollars from victims who are led to believe they have won a lottery.
So far, scammers posing as BBB employees have fleeced one victim of $80,000, and several other people have reported that they were contacted over the phone or via e-mail by someone claiming they were with the organization.
According to the BBB, consumers were told they had won a lottery and that, in order to receive the prize, they must first wire money back to the scammers. In some cases the scammers used the names of real BBB employees -- directing victims to legitimate bios and profiles on the BBB's Web site -- in order to reinforce the ruse.
"Many people are struggling in the current economy and when someone tells you that you've won millions in a lottery, it can seem like an answer to prayer," said Steve Cox, president and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. "Every year, tens of thousands of people contact BBB about a suspicious lottery and instead of cashing in, many lose thousands of dollars they don't have."
- Bing: Lottery scams
The BBB emphasizes that it does not run a lottery or award prizes to consumers. Anyone who receives a call, letter or e-mail about winning the lottery should consult the following checklist in order to avoid falling victim to a lottery scam:
- Make sure the story checks out. Always confirm the facts directly with the organization the representative claims to be from. Use contact information that you found on your own from the organization's Web site; don't rely on phone numbers or Web links provided by the representative. Scammers often pretend to be from legitimate businesses or nonprofits, and a quick call directly to the organization can help set the record straight.
- Never pay money to get money. Lottery scammers make their money by convincing victims that they have to pay money upfront -- to cover such costs as taxes or fees -- in order to receive their winnings. Because it is extremely difficult for the victim to track or retrieve money sent via wire transfer, scammers will often use this as their payment method of choice.
- Don't fall for the phony check. Scammers will often send a check in the mail to the victim with instructions that in order to receive the full prize, he or she must deposit the check and wire back a portion of the funds to cover fees or taxes. This gives the victim a false sense of security because the check will clear initially. But it will eventually be discovered as a fake, and the victim is out the funds sent to the scammer.
Despite all the warnings, consumers continue to fall for these scams.
Gregory of Columbia, S.C., told ConsumerAffairs.com that he was contacted by a man who said Gregory had won a $3.5 million lottery. He was instructed to wire $1,250 so that he could collect the prize. "I sent the transaction and they said that they were at an airport near my location but nobody ever showed to bring me any money."
Gregory said the scammers are now telling him he needs to send them another $2,500 to complete the transaction. "They won't stop calling and they have the $1,250 I sent them already," he said. "I tried to tell them to just send it back but they told me to get a lawyer if I want my money back."

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- The victorious president said all the right things. He pushed all the right buttons as he launched into the next four years hoping for more bipartisan cooperation then he got in the last."I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together," the president said early Wednesday morning.Mr. Romney also took the high road, and the president has even talked about including his former opponent in trying to rid the nation's capitol of its stagnation.But here's the harsh reality. The president is working with the exact same set of GOP leaders that he dealt with before the election, and the House Republican speaker, Mr. Boehner, has already said no new revenue to eliminate the deficit. The president still wants it.Meanwhile, on the state front, the Michigan Republican governor has forged a good working relationship with the Obama White House, and Governor Snyder is all about cooperating. After all, he needs the president in order to get a new transit system in the city of Detroit. The governor also wants Republican lawmakers to enact part of the president's healthcare program and so far they have balked.After an election, there is always a renewed sense of hope and optimism that they can get their act together in Washington and Lansing and work on a bipartisan basis, but it is not the norm. After all, we are still a badly divided country -- red and blue -- and the popular vote yesterday underscored that point.So the question remains, will the election change any of that?

5 Stocks George Soros Loves Right Now
Wal-Mart Stores
SFM's biggest buy last quarter was retail behemoth Wal-Mart (WMT), the biggest retailer in the world with almost $450 billion in revenues across more than 10,000 stores. Soros wasn't alone in loving Wal-Mart -- before his firm filed their 13F, Wal-Mart was already hedge funds' favorite consumer stock for last quarter.
But Soros' toe-dipping into this position makes it a standout. SFM picked up 4.83 million shares of WMT in the second quarter, picking up a stake worth $337 billion at last count.>>5 Huge Stocks Set to Slingshot Higher Wal-Mart has established itself as the world's price leader, carving out a challenging but lucrative niche in retail. Wal-Mart's model is built on scale -- without the scale to pull off pricing power with suppliers, WMT couldn't pull it off. But the firm does, and it manages to move mountains of products at small, predictable margins each quarter. With the economy continuing to be a headline-grabbing rollercoaster, Wal-Mart's positioning at the bottom of the retail chain should continue to look attractive. Meanwhile, international growth is clearly the place where WMT has the most room for improvement. The firm's overseas stores, located in 26 countries, have historically been a drag on earnings, and they continue to underperform their domestic counterparts. The U.S. business is pretty predictable, but if WMT can find a fix for its international problems, it would be a coup for patient shareholders. Wal-Mart also shows up in Renaissance Technologies' portfolio as of the most recently reported period and is one of Warren Buffett's holdings.

In Europe, Volvo now offers its I-See system, which reduces fuel consumption for long-distance transport by up to 5%. The four individuals responsible for developing the solution are set to receive the Volvo Technology Award for 2013.
I-See could be compared with an autopilot that handles gear-changes, throttle and brakes on gradients in the most fuel-efficient manner possible.The first time a truck equipped with I-See drives on a hilly road, the topography information is stored in the truck for the next trip, and a wireless dispatch is also conveyed to a central server. When another truck equipped with I-See is about to drive the same stretch, the system will automatically obtain the information from the server and ensure that the hills are negotiated in the best possible manner the first time."I-See utilizes the vehicle's kinetic energy to accelerate at the right time prior to the ascent to reduce the number of downshifts, while disengaging the vehicle just before reaching the brow of the hill and utilizes the energy perfectly for braking down the next hill," explains Anders Eriksson, who headed the development group.Other winners are Johan Bjernetun, Henrik Andersson and Johan Axelsson. The prize will be presented on April 4 by Olof Persson, president and CEO, in conjunction with AB Volvo's Annual General Meeting.
When asked if this technology might make its way across the Atlantic to North America, Brandon Borgna, a Volvo spokesperson said: "We continue to look at leveraging some of the innovative technologies introduced with the new FH in Europe for our conventional products in North America.'

text: A radar unit consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits pulses of microwaves, a type of radio waves, outward in a circular pattern. Precipitation scatters these microwaves, sending some energy back to the transmitter, where it is detected by the radar's receiver. The intensity of this received signal, called the radar echo, indicates the intensity of the precipitation. Measuring the time it takes for the radio wave to leave the radar and return tells us how distant the storm is. The direction the radar is pointing locates the storm. More
