"…even a fair number of Republicans—nearly three in 10 polled—thought a tax increase for higher-earners would help the economy."
Because it would.
Anyone claiming to be serious about debt reduction, while simultaneously worshiping at the altar of Grover Norquist, is absolutely NOT serious about debt reduction.
2 Anonymous (8:37pm): Right you are, sir/ma'am.
Who knows if the poll is accurate, but, if it is, that spells very bad news for the Romney campaign and Republicans generally.
Pray tell is this the 45% of Americans who pay ZERO income taxes willing to "tax the fella behind the tree" as the late Senator Long used to say (full saying was "don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the fella behind the tree" or something close to that…..
I think the statistics make it clear that the Obama tax would raise next to nothing and is of symbolic value. Unfortunately, this is only a dry run for the big tax increases Obama has in store for the economy if he is re-elected. It is the middle class that needs to step up and pay more since they by in large want their social security and medicare middle class welfare.
Why didn't they also ask those billionaires whether increasing tax on the 99% will hurt the economy? I think AT LEAST a quarter of them would support the tax hike on the 99%. I think most people, rich or poor, would like a tax hike as long as it's other people's money at stake. I think President Obama should look for support from academia.
The solution there is obvious: Seniors, and particularly the baby boomers, need to off themselves to save the Nation money. Patriotic seppuku, that's what we need. Plus, the highways would be much easier to drive because all the geezers would be out of the left lane.
2 Bruce F. (9:17pm): If true that "the Obama tax would raise next to nothing," might one also conclude that it doesn't represent the "massive tax increase" claimed by Romney?
"For instance, 44% of independents think such a tax increase would make the tax system more fair, while just 21% think it would make it less fair."
So 56% of independents think such a tax increase would NOT make the tax system more fair.
2Pablo, $40B over ten years is immaterial to the nation's present deficit problems. The $40B over ten years to a small businessman who is taxed like an S corporation does make a difference. A client of mine asked me to work out a plan to cut his workforce from 57 to 47. The reason, Obamacare and my client's desire to avoid the 50 employee mandate rule. My client figures he cannot raise his prices enough to offer the cadillac health insurance that will be required of employers under Obamacare. So I am going to get a bonus from a client to structure a layoff of ten people because Obama wants to mandate employers in industries like my client's who has no pricing power to either cut below 50 or go out of business.
I am telling you right now unemployment is going to rise as we get closer to the Obamacare mandate periods because many employers will cut their workforces once they see the full cost AND recognize they do not have the pricing power.
How much will Americans pay for a Big Mac at McDonalds once they are forced to offer healthcare to every employee for a transient workforce? We are at the beginnings of a real mess as Obamacare finally gets full recognition a a job killing mandate. I suppose we can look at France where structural unemployment has been roughly 9% for the last decade as a model for the new American structural unemployment. We will see a lot of independent restaurants with 50 employees go out of business. But like socialist Europe Obama does not care how many businesses are destroyed in the process. Obama would argue businesses do not have the right to be in business unless they offer what he defines as a living wage and benefits to befit his lifelong goal of Europeanizing the USA.
Lets just go to the tax rates under Kennedy. Things were good then. I can't believe how selfish this nation has become. Love how selfish these rich guys are until they need us to fight their wars but geez don't tax them to pay for it.
Kennedys top tax rate was 70%. I think that would bring in quite a bit of revenue to offset the cost of the wars.
"The Obama proposal has drawn fire from his Republican rival Mitt Romney, who has accused Mr. Obama of wanting to raise taxes on small businesses…"
Would this be the same Republican party that just killed a small-business tax cut because it's enactment might reflect well on President Obama?
Seriously, does the journal staff have any shame left…. propping for obama is just shameless.
this poll shows that 6 in 10 Americans are not particularly intelligent, well informed, or know anything about economics.
Why is there never talk of regionally indexing this number? 250K may make you "rich" in the middle of the country but on the coasts, after state and property taxes and adjusting for housing costs, it is middle class. Sotomayor was making 250K in NYC, living in a modest apartment and was/is net in debt.
Thank goodness, we ignorant people, know nothing about economics. We ignorant people think that if you trade with someone especially a foreign entity with a different currency it should be balanced — that trading using cheap paper is inherently dangerous. (Supply side economics) Most people or nations do not like feeling like they have been treated unfairly. We ignorant people think if you allocate a large percentage of your budget to fight wars that the financial burden should be borne by those that gain the most from that activity, "free market" commodities (oil) and multinational corporations (wealthy Americans). We ignorant people think that people that work for a living are just as valuable as those people that count and manipulate "money".
ObamaCare's new taxes already hits that lot with more in January, a move that will negatively impact this nation's economic health. And anyone thinking that raising federal tax rates on that lot won't harm the even more is delusional as it will, more so as the incomes it starts at is far from rich.
We ignorant people think that wealth is created by labor and employment not moving paper around (carried interest).
Seems to me when the tax code is so slanted toward capital, it encourages all to engage in building capital not labor. And I'm really confused as to how that works. I guess that is what all the bubbles are for, building capital, real or not? With the current tax code, why would any "smart" person labor?
"Obama Tax-Increase Plan Gains Supporters"
Yet, not one of them including Obama who's been whining about this since his arrival have yet to write a check for more. Why?
Fact is, they're in the habit of spending other people's money instead of their own and that's the problem today as too many increasingly prefer to have other's pay their way.
Obama leads those efforts having avoided any serious discussion of serious tax reform from day one, then again why would as he benefits from it. Which is exactly what he's doing today as he's playing with it all for his political gain at this nation's peril, something his base could care little about as long as they continue paying zero and get more swag.
Well, dream on all as this target of Obama's games WILL cut back purchases, donations, etc. as needed and we're far from alone. Get ready.
So on incomes above $250,000, how much of that income is "labor"? I would guess that most of it is "capital".
Low tax on capital – perverse incentives – maybe?
Perverse incentives – tulipmania?
Guess again 8:36 as two income famiiles can more easily reach that amount than you think, hell just a firefighter and nurse in certain parts of this country with overtime can do it.
So on incomes above $250,000, how much of that income is "short term capital gains". What exactly in "real" terms is "short term capital gains"? Long term capital gains is what real business creates. What good does a short term capital gain do?
My extra check is in the mail, well that is for my personal federal portion and I'll even put in a few extra bucks for Obama as can't have him cutting back on his lavish family vacations and golf outings to pay his fairshare now….I'll keep fighting that billion dollar tax bill the IRS wants me to pay.
Really, and that couple would have no deductions, like mortgage interest, deferred income (401K), child care, state taxes, etc? Besides the fact that that couple's taxes would only increase on the amount over $250,000, which is a very small amount. Just a smoke screen.
Throughout our history we have encouraged long term capital gains as that is what "real" business counts on. "Real" business needs certainty – longer term investors. Short term investing creates uncertainty for business which is why prior to these tax cuts, there was a difference between short and long term capital gains, encouraging investors to invest in the long term.
What drives a CEOs behaviour? Quarterly earnings because that is what the market rewards. If a CEO engages in long term wealth building he is punished by short term capital — perverse incentives, maybe?
There will be no new taxes unless there is a reduction in taxes in other areas. If there are no new taxes, my daddy will shave that hideous beard he has!!
@9:20 – You do realize that deductions begin phasing out well before $250,000 right and that doesn't include how ObamaCare goes back to the first dollar earned or did you forget just Medicare's tax rate going up 0.9%? You also obviously exclude how higher earners also pay more "forward" in other ways like retail for universities, typically higher local and state taxes including on their primary homes they own, purchases, etc.
Then again you don't as if you did you would type such drivel that it's a smoke screen, especially if you were in that group as it clearly is not.
By the way, you should also consider what that the income level Obama targets is one from twelve years ago all of which ignores that even by his own admission he struggled as a family at, yet now, despite inflationary effects and higher tax rates below the federal level those incomes make families millionaires. Hardly.
@ 10:41
I agree (not about the beard). Why should taxes be increased when 50% of Americans pay no taxes. We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. If we are serious about reducing the deficit, we need to cut spending across the board except for the military. We cannot make America weak from our enemies, real or imagined, and terrorists. We need to cut Medicaid and other social programs which are unsustainable.
Vote GOP – the path to restoring American Exceptionalism
Obamacare is a Tax anyway – so those thinking that only the $250k club will be paying more – THINK AGAIN. This is how we do it in Chicago. We take and take and take….
If Obama was even remotely vetted by the mainstream media like Romney is now I would have won four years ago and the economy would be in far better shape, negating any need to raise taxes like Barrack incessantly wants. Perhaps Bill was right, this country does need me.
Obama's had nearly one-full term in office to squarely address our tax system (two of which he could have controlled the outcome), yet look where we are today: more whining about his desire to extend (raise) taxes on higher income earners leaving less disposable income in their pockets than those making the same more than a decade ago.
That's all he's got.
Of course, what too many seem to forget (or run from) is how ObamaCare's costs will tax that group even more beginning January 1. Costs that have tripled since 2010, yet not the revenues Dems and Obama built that runious bill on which will only deepen the nation's deficits and debts,, something Obama has more than once proven he cares little about. Including his surrogates who post here.
In the real world Obama would have been fired already, Americas' chance to get that job finally done in Nov can't arrive soon enough.
What Mitt eating monster lurks inside the turbid pond of his tax returns?
I don't care about letting high income earners retain more, I just don't want to enable the government to waste more. At least I know the high income earners will spend or invest the money more efficiently.
The BUSH Tax Cuts are part of the Problem. But Bush didn't just cut taxes on the top 2%, he also cut taxes alot more on the bottom 1/3, taking most of them (Dem. party's main voter-base) off the Tax Rolls entirely. And with added loss of incomes in the private economy since 2008 Finan. Crash, now only half of Americans pay any income tax at all. From 1950 – 1985, roughly 80% of Working Americans CONTRIBUTED TO USA by paying Income Taxes. Now half Americans with jobs and Large Majority of the Democratic Party's Voter Base with jobs (Obama's base) pays NO INCOME TAXES. This is the real problem — worse than that the Rich pay less nowadays — is a huge part of the electorate (most Obama supporters) pay no income taxes at all. In fact most of them get money from the Government, whether it be the nearly 20% of Americans on Food Stamps or tens millions who get checks the IRS sends them (so-called Earned Income Tax Credits $5000 – $10,000 bonus checks, a misnomer to call them "tax credits" when paid to mainly minority lower income women who don't pay income taxes, and chose to have children without marrying (to be eligible for government help). THiS IS THE BIGGER PROBLEM IN USA: BULK OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY VOTER-BASE ONLY TAKES (parasites) FROM USA.
The BUSH Tax Cuts should be rolled back, but also by making all Americans pay at least some Income Tax. Lets start by doing withholding tax on all welfare benefits, and eliminating the Earned Income Tax Credit giveaways.
Any tax increase on anyone will "hurt" the taxpayer and will hurt the economy. The tax payer is hurt by having less income to "spread around" or invest as he sees fit. The economy is hurt because the tax payer has less money to spend. Four things need to be done by Congress. 1) Reduce all tax rates by 10 to 12 percent. 2) Make 15 % rate the maximum for dividends, capital gains, and for the small guy bank and bond interest. 3) Cancel and suspend all regulations that prevent businesses from maximizing growth and profitability.4) Provide for an automatic "10%" surtax on ALL incomes from all sources if and when a national emergency or war is declared.

We have to note that SIA's flight crew is compiled with Singaporean and Malaysian girls. SIA has complex rules and regulations for applicants. About 10% of applicants can pass training successfully. After this steps they are becoming "Singapore Girl". Singapore Airline also manages special language trainings for crew members, to minimize language barriers between cabin crew and travellers.

A Vermillion, South Dakota man was sentenced to ten years behind bars for bank robberies in Iowa and Nebraska.
Karlis Baisden admitted to robbing the First Trust and Savings Bank in Lawton, Iowa and the Cedar Security Bank in Fordyce, Nebraska.
During their investigation authorities released surveillance camera pictures of Baisden inside the Cedar Security Bank in Fordyce.
Baisden pulled out a gun and demanded money from the teller. He stole $19,000 and then forced bank workers into a vault.
On April 6, 2011, Baisden was arrested in Sioux City after trying to rob the First Trust and Savings Bank in Lawton. He was 23 years old at the time.
Authorities say he followed a bank employee who was opening up the building that morning, demanding money after a showing a gun.
A witness came through the drive-thru and noticed the commotion.
Baisden fled to Sioux City without any money in a stolen car parked behind the bank.
He was arrested on Gordon Drive after colliding with an Iowa State Trooper's car.

A fascinating situation is rarely enough to sustain an audience's interest in a film. There must be characters onscreen to care about. Don Roos' Happy Endings offers three different storylines, but fails to create enough engaging characters. Only in the remarkably dysfunctional relationship between the manipulative and wickedly intelligent Jude (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and the nebbish middle-aged Frank (a never better Tom Arnold) does Roos create people interesting enough to hook an audience. Whenever the film spends time on the other two stories, both more original situations to be sure, viewers will tire of them fairly quickly and simply wait out the time until they see more of the characters they have invested in emotionally. Roos is too talented a writer for the film to be a total disaster, but he can't make the drama and the comedy in these other two sections take flight. Individual lines and moments "work," but they do not add up to much. Most disconcertingly, Roos has not been able to come up with a way for these stories to merge together. The resolutions of the various characters do not feel motivated by anything that happened in the film, they feel like arbitrary decisions made by a screenwriter who was unable to find a satisfactory way to catch all of the balls he was attempting to juggle.

SparkFun sells them if you do not already have one,
You will need some sort of breakout board in order to connect the display. Sparkfun sells several (a standard breakout, an Arduino shield, an Olimex module, etc) as well as the bare surface-mount connector. Since all of SparkFun's boards include the LCD, I just bought the connector and made my own breakout board since I already had the LCD.
The connector:
Step 1: LCD Connector and Breakout Board
For cleaner and more practical uses, I eventually made a small breakout board for the connector that can be printed and etched using the laser printer toner transfer method. Make sure not to put too much pressure on the transfer or the traces can be pressed together. If this happens, you can try cutting the toner away with a sharp knife, but you'll probably end up breaking the toner trace and have to start over.
I hand-soldered the connector to the finished PCB and then added some breakaway pin headers so that the board may be breadboarded or socketed into projects while being easily removable.
bro can u get me the pcb for connector that showed in finger pic
Hi guy, I have one LCD for Nokia 1208b, I want use with the Arduino. This is the datasheet: http://labdegaragem.com/forum/attachment/download...
But, i dont know the numbering pins on the connector. Do you can help me? Thanks
Sorry for my bad English.
1.how do i turn the display on?
2.could you please give detail description as to which pin is connected to which component.
3. the detailed driver circuit.
my e-mail id is: email@example.com
awaiting immediate response. thank you.
i wonder if my old 2760 nokia (http://www.nokia.com.br/produtos/celulares/nokia-2760 or http://www.formymobile.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=2760lcd) works in this tutorial too
you know if works?
sorry my poor english!
If you absolutely can't find any info, the last resort would be to plug a scope or logic analyzer while it is connected to the phone and see how the phone's board communicates with it, chances are you'll be able to at least determine the type of protocol this way but it won't be easy to sniff all the commands.
it must have a parallel interface then, because there is a LOT of pins.
is it more useful to just strip the lcd down for the backlight and notification light leds?
very good project and very helpful.
add my comment in Spanish in case
saludos, una disculpa por mi mal ingles (google me ayudo), pregunta, ¿como le haces para grabar el AVR y que se necesita para pasarlo a un pic? gracias
muy buen proyecto y muy útil.
agrégo mi comentario en español por si acaso
Sin embargo, www.freetranslation.com es mejor que Google- menos errores.
I have never used PIC personally so I'm not sure how you would do this, just that it should be possible without too much effort if you know how to use the PIC's input/output pins. It is also possible that the PIC's SPI unit supports 9-bit mode directly, in which case, use that.
thanks, I'll try it in the pic with the CCS program, any questions, comments or discovery I will tell you
As for identifying the "genuine" LCD's, I have two (both taken from Nokia 2600 phones). Both have similar markings on the back.
The first:
UG13D004DA A22 S10.3 S5 08 12 # (the 08 is obscured a bit)
Both have a green dot to the right of the markings, the first is hand-drawn with a green marker and the second appears to have been stamped by a machine. I have attached scans (1200 dpi) of the two LCD's, front and back. You can check the markings on them against others you may find. The Philips controller may be in other "clone" LCD's as well though.
I've been playing with microcontrollers since Fall 2009, and have been into electronics and programming long before then. If you want to get started with LCD's but don't want to mess with a full-color display, the 2x16 character LCD's are very easy to use and can be very useful for projects.
I have been a PHP programmer for quite a while so the code side isn't too hard for me, it is the creating something from nothing which is still a bit of a challenge. I guess I need to just keep plugging away at it, experimenting and seeing what happens. After all, that is the fun compared to just going out and buying something made in china...which, ironically, is where I think my arduino board was made.

I totally would! @kannie, what do you say? =)
I totally would! @kannie, what do you say? =)
1. I've always been a weird kid, but now my mom thinks I've gone off the deep end because I sing Korean songs out loud.
2. I've just come back from a 4-month training in Boracay where foreigners and my own countrymen (so pretty much everyone) think I'm Korean and they bow and say "Annyeong Haseyo" to me ALL. THE. TIME. (I love it, though.)
3. 2011 was the year I discovered tumblr and Twitter. And AFF.
4. Half the space in my 500 GB external hard drive is all Big Bang stuff.
5. I learned Korean because of Big Bang.
6. Every time I hear the words "I'm so sorry," in my head, I continue it with, "but I love you."
7. I can be a bit of an annoying know it all when it comes to films and books. I'm trying very hard not to butt in strangers' conversations to correct them about the movie/book title.
8. I'm going to travel to at least 3 different countries next year. That's a resolution. Kayla, come join me!
9. I'm not a big fan of trust falls. If someone suggests it, I walk away.
10. Kayla, you're probably the only person on tumblr that I talk to somewhere else. So I'm going to break the rule of tagging ten more people.
Happy New Year!

Straight from the minds of the masters of cutting-edge quirkiness comes another concept that's headed for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. With so many concepts already scheduled to be unveiled at the event, MINI 's not the type to miss out on all the action. So they decided to join in on the fun with the Rocketman Concept.
The vehicle, which is being positioned as a "3+1"-seater, is in its concept and design stages, so we're going to hold our breaths to see if the reception in Geneva is good enough to warrant a production version.
As far as aesthetics are concerned, MINI gave the Rocketman quite a doozy of unique features, including doors that open by having the entire sill come out together with the door. There's also the obligatory full LED headlights and tail lights, doses of carbon fiber on the front and rear, a waistline line strip, a wraparound greenhouse, a cool glass roof configuration that features the Union Jack, and a set of 18" alloy wheels that have aerodynamically active surfaces. And that's not to mention the fact that the whole concept is built with a carbon spaceframe, giving it a light and stiff underpinning.
UPDATE 12/27/11: Is the MINI Rocketman headed to the production line? MINI's Head of Design, Anders Warming, has made it known that the car is on his "Christmas wish list" and the reception towards the concept from customers has been nothing short of positive. With that said, we're not going to jump excitedly until a confirmation is made. But it is pretty exciting to know that discussions are already in place to have the Rocketman Concept green-lighted for production.
More details on the MINI Rocketman Concept after the jump.
Inside the car, the seating configuration is what's most striking about the Rocketman Concept. Designed as a two-seater, with the typical passenger seat next to the driver seat, the Rocketman gets its "3+1"-seater designation because of two hidden seats. One is located just behind the front passenger seat and can be used when the main passenger seat is slid forward slightly and the other is located beside the driver's seat to accommodate a passenger. Adding a more ambient and luxurious touch to the interior of the Rocketman includes a prevalent use of what looks to be suede leather on the dash and center console, as well as the integration of optical fibers that provide an ambient mood lighting inside the car.
For a brand that doesn't lack in city cars, MINI's new Rocketman Concept may end up being the one that captures our imagination - that is if this concept finds its way into production.

Higherground Brewing Co.: Great Beer Right from the Start
With their Flash Flood Milk Stout, Highground offers up an uncommon version of stout, a milk- or sweet - stout. The addition of lactose, which is not fermentable, adds sweetness and body. What's nice about their version is it has a good mixture of roasted malt flavor in the initial taste, for those like me who prefer a robust stout, with a finish that adds creamy milk chocolate flavor. It avoid being too sweet and stays well balanced.
I did not have time to try the Waist Deep Wheat, but am curious to see what flavors the coriander seed and orange peel do to their belgian style version. What's more impressive is all six beers currently offered (including the IPA which was temporarily out) are 6% abv or less. It's refreshing to see a brewery create beers with good flavor without having to resort to higher and higher gravity beers.
I asked bartender Sara where the name Higherground came from. My initial thought was some religious theme, but aside from monks brewing Abbey style ales, it didn't seem likely. My second thought had to do with flooding, which the nearby Bitterroot River is prone to do. A third option came to mind, but I'll leave that to your imagination. Sara suggested the name is intentionally vague.
Cheers to another great addition to Montana's craft beer scene.

Store History
- Founded: 1928
- Headquarters: Seattle, Washington
The Pacific Northwest is a well-known hub for Asian food, and Uwajimaya — with locations in Washington and Oregon — is one of the area's largest Asian grocers.
The store has been in existence since 1928, when it first opened in Seattle. It's now a large, modern chain of supermarkets with departments devoted to produce, fish, meat, groceries, wine & sake. There's also an amazing sushi deli, and the store can be hired to cater an event with a variety of sushi platters.
One of the best things about the store is their weekly special. Each week, they highlight a different country's cuisine with special deals — for example, right now they're in Korean foods week. Look for current deals on prawns, jar oysters, clams, and beef short ribs.

I went here for the first time last week, and it is incredible. It's the only place in the city that I know of that sells natto, and if that's not you're thing they also have a wide selection of locally made tofu! The produce department is really great as long as you don't care about eating organic. Green peppers for .39c/lb! Cabbage for .79c/lb!
Uwajimaya is ok, they're a bit on the pricier side if you don't know other Asian stores to go to. I'm talking about the Portland area (Oregon) one, btw.
I think they have somewhat a competition (in size and selection) with Fubonn, but Fubonn is in the SE side of town while Uwajimaya is located in the SW. I like Fubonn better because I find them cheaper while they're comparable in size, cleanliness. But I must admit Uwajimaya has lots of 'cute' :) items on display (imho that is) unlike Fubonn but I digress...
Yes, I agree with tmchd. Fubonn is much closer to where I happen to live, and much cheaper. Definitely isn't as cute (or nicely laid out) and Uwajimaya, tho. I always end up with a few REALLY interesting grocery items whenever I leave either store!
Also from PDX here - Uwajimaya carries mostly Japanese food, so there are more options available for Japanese staples like miso, tofu, furikake, shoyu, mirin, etc., whereas Fubonn is more typically Chinese and Vietnamese food. If I need a massive bottle of Kewpie or a few different kinds of miso paste, I hit up Uwajimaya, and if I just need some standard sesame oil, azuki beans, sriracha, and the like, I'll go to Fubonn. Both are great stores. There's rumor of Uwajimaya building a store in the Old Town/Chinatown section of downtown Portland, too, which would be really really cool, as both (current) Uwajimaya and Fubonn are out at the opposite edges of town, and I live right in the middle.
Uwajimaya is fantabulous! Situated in downtown Seattle in the International District (Chinatown, really) it has its own little food court with even more awesome finds like $3 Banh Mi sandwiches and Beard Papa Creme Puffs! Also connected is a cute little bookstore.
As far as the market, food prices are excellent to fair -- for example, don't buy a rice cooker there as you will hardly get a bargain. For other super Asian treats and trinkets, go to Daiso across the street (or at Westlake Center or Alderwood Mall).
Long live Uwajimaya!
*sigh* I miss Uwajimaya so much. I even loved their crazy, old store crammed w/stuff before they opened the "supermarket" around the corner. I wish we had a place like that near my new home vs. having to drive to Chicago...
I get things like soba sauce, gyoza wrappers, high quality buckwheat soba noodles, unagi and assorted sushi cuts when I'm in the mood for it and SAKE! It's fun to drink ramune and pick out other drinks where you can't read the label and try them. When I shop the "pocari sweat" package always makes me giggle. Also can't forget the hombow. They have some neat housewares but for the most part the housewares are over priced.
I LOVE Uwajimaya! I go to the one in Bellevue because its closer and parking is easier. The Seattle one is a lot bigger and nicer though. I love buying pastries, lap-xuong & dried squid. I also to go to the deli and order bbq pork and roast duck on days when I am too lazy to cook. I do prefer going to chinatown just because everything tastes so much better but its so hard getting over to Seattle now. The Bellevue store also has a little gift shop right behind the deli. I do agree that they seem a little pricey but they have some really cute stuff that I haven't seen in other stores. Sometimes you can get a great deal on their clearance table.
There are some other asian stores around like Ranch 99 but its almost too much of a hassle to be worth it. (Those parking lots are scary!)
I took a restaurant seafood cooking class in Seattle. The chef said she gets her seafood from Uwajimaya or Mutual Fish. Uwajimaya is pricey but their fish is as good quality as Mutual Fish. Maruta is a Japanese grocery store in Georgetown, south of downtown. Their prices are much cheaper than Uwajimaya. Maruta also has sushi, bento, and Chinese takeout. I love their negitoro rolls. Very fresh and great quality fish. Plus they aren't crazy crowded like Uwajimaya gets on the weekends.
love uwajimaya! not always the best prices, but awesome selection of items. the bookstores have an amazing selection of japanese movies & craft books. they also have a great selection of bento items and one of the few places that sell hurricane popcorn!

I am active on several diffrent forums with sell/buy subforums.
Some forums doesn't allow answers and some allows threads several pages long. But all needs moderators. Not easy to administer.
Maybe the best way is to copy a working swapmeet? Yes, I am looking at Ebay.
Or a multi webshop, where every seller donates a small sum to Arduino when they register their shop? Keeps autospammers away too.

Help-Engagement Shoot felt very fake...
Hey All,
This is my first post - have been a long time viewer of project wedding and have gotten great ideas so far from you all - thanks for the inspiration ladies!!
The reason I'm finally writing a post is that I had a bit of a mini breakdown and didn't sleep at all last night worrying.
Got our engagement shoot done yesterday and it felt so staged and fake. Don't get me wrong - I feel very comfortable with photographer and obviously FI :-) Photographer was great telling us how to pose so it would look great, but its just that I felt like I was acting and had an out of body experience.
Call it innocence or nievety or both...but didn't realise that getting our pics done would feel so staged - I probably had this romantic view that myself and FI would be in the moment and this would be captured...but didn't feel like this at all...is this the only way to get amazing photos? If so - my romanticism is shattered. Am so worried about this, as afraid that I'll feel like this on the day and I will miss any "real" moments with my FI, cause I'll be worried about pictures? (As I said - having bit of irrational panic attack)
Our photographer did say that he'd be taking a lot from a distance on the day and only some staged between the ceremony and reception, so won't all be like that on the day. Don't want to change photographers as he really is lovely and is so competent and has great portfolio (also great reviews from other people)
Not sure if this makes sense to anyone? Has anyone ever felt this way? Or am I just having a bridezilla panic attack? (If it is - I don't feel too guilty - it is genuinely my first little panic attack about the wedding thankfully! & hopefully the last)
Appreciate any views?
Thanks for reading Ladies!

Pete goes to find Patrick.
Journal 465
Hello again, inanimate object of which I greet and spill the intermost darkest thoughts that linger inside my head. hehe I decieded to sound all smart. I'M GONNA KILL JOSEPH!!! So, I met the new guy (LIke actually talked to) Guess what his last name is? HAHA YOU CAN'T SINCE YOUR A JOURNAL Buuuuut anyways. It's Wentz. Pete WENTZ, my buddy. Or...well maybe. After Joe's shit he may not be. Joe told him that I'm gay, which is inaccurate, I'm bi. As I've said maaaaany times. Fucker. ANYWWAYs Pete knows and-
A familiar voice stops my writting.
"You have a journal?"
I look up and see Pete's crooked smile.
"Ooh, can I read."
I close it quickly, "Hell no."
"Chiiiillax Pat."
"Don't call me Pat, It's Patrick."
I give him an infuriated look.
"So what do you want, and Andy told you where I am, didn't the bastard?"
"I don't know...I'm not allowed to say, but anyways...I wanted to make sure you're ok..."
"Heh. Define ok."
He frowns.
"Sorry I just. Joe is such an ass and I left because...well I wanted to be alone."
He smirks and sits beside me, "Oh? Well I may never let you be alone ever again."
I raise an eyebrow, "Um...You plan to stalk me?"
He grins, "Absolutely."
"Well have fun watching my pathetic life."
"Why are you so mean to yourself PaTRICK?"
"Because, its easy. PLus its honesty, not meanness."
I put up my journal.
"Can I please read oooooone page?"
I roll my eyes and find an appropriate one.
"Let's sit outside, its beautiful outside."
"But its quite in here...."
"LIve a little?"
"Fiiiiine.", I whine.
We sit outside the library.
"Journal 574:
I swear to god I'm Going to murder Joseph. You threaten that boy's life alot."
"Yeah, yeah. You will too... Why read it out loud?"
"Why not?", he continues, "Ya know How I'm Bi? WELL NOW SO DOES MY MOTHER BECAUSE OF THAT BASTARD ASS MOTHER FUCKER ooh you swore..."
He licks his lips, which look so soft, and continues"And I'm grounded, because I happen to like boys. What the fuck? She found out because Joe decided to bother me whist he and Andy spent the night. They have to sleep in a different room tonight. Andy asked if something looked bad on him and I said no, because it didn't, the Joe says, "Be careful Andy, Patrick IS bisexual." RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY MOM I HATE HIM. So yeah. My life. Is over. As soon as my dad finds out. Goodbye world... Anybody that cares, come to my funeral? OOOH MAYBE I'll become a vampire. HOW COOL!! hehehe LOL ok. so my soon-to-be-dead-ass should get some sleep, before my murder... I may die well rested. haha.
-PatStump", he raises an eyebrow, "You're an odd boy... AND there's no way in hell this is the 574th journal.... this is like the third page."
I chuckle, "I just give them random numbers..."
"Do you? That's kinda cool. So, you are here so... Do I have to worry about you biting me, after surrendering to your bloodlust?"
I chuckle, "MY dad never found out."
"What about your boyfriends?"
"Ha. As if. I've never had a boyfriend, or girlfriend for that matter."
"Really? Ever been kissed?"
I blush, "No..."
"Awwwwe that's so cute."
"It isn't cute, It's quite pathetic actually."
"Blah blah. I've been kissed but each one was a mistake."
"Well...", he blushes a little, "There was this girl... We kissed and it went way to far. She was erm... 'experienced' and I was...not. So it was really scary and akward. And then she got pregnant and.....well got an abortion. I don't think it was mine but... still the thought, ya know? Then erm... there was this...", his blush deepens, "G-guy. well he...he pretended he liked me and whatnot... and he kissed me once... and then I got mono."
I hold in a laugh, "He gave you mono?"
"Yeah. Bastard."
"Sorry...at least you've been kissed, and more I'm gonna die a kissless virgin-WAIT DID YOU SAY A BOY?!?"
He laughs, "YOu're so slow. I was wondering when you'd notice."
"A boy?"
He nods.
"And a girl?"
Another nod.
"So.. so that makes you-"
"Bi... just like you. And I erm. Also prefer guys... Girls are a little scary."
"I know right?"
He chuckles, "So anyways... You aren't the only bi guy in the world... I just wanted to let you know... You aren't alone. And you wont die a kissless virgin."
"HOw do you know?"
"I just know."
Was that a wink? No. No it wasn't. No one wants me
"You wont if I have to arrange it on your deathbed."
He blushes and I feel my own face heat up.
"E-excuse me?"
He laughs, "NOthing."
"No, tell me Peter."
"No Pat."
"You are such a child."
"Not really..."
I smile at him.
"Hey, I never got my damn gum earlier, you changed the subject with Andy."
He chuckles and hands me a piece.
The bell rings and I groan.
"Give me your phone really quick.", Pete holds out his hand.
"Is that a request or a demand?"
"Demand, now gimmie!"
"And I'm the child."
I hand him my cell phone.
He adds his number, "Alright, text me?"
"I don't know how to text."
"Well try?"
Hi. I hate textin already
hahaha sorry I had to talk to you...
didn't we just converse???
Yup but I hate this class. I'm lonely.
OKie dokie. I'd get away with murder in here, its english.
Dont i have oral com with you next.
mhm We have speeches today... I'm going to pass out. Lucky, you get to be new and not do the speech
Speeches don't bother me Patrick...
Of course not. You're Mr. Cool-and-Confident.
Not exactly.
Whatever. so Patrick stump, how are you?
I'm fine. So, Peter Wentz, how are you?
Alright. Don't call me Peter.
Sorry. I just love it. Its like Peter Pan.

Well there's one. =) but that wont happen.
Why not?
I'm a loser. DUUUUH
I don't think so.
He would.
And here I was hoping it was me lol
hehe. Bells gonna ring. Peace.
Pete and I meet up and walk to oral com. When we enter the class. She tells Jack he's up first. I'm third. I bite my lip nervously and grab my flashcards. My speech is on Tim Burton.
he first two go and Petetaps my shoulder.
I bite my walk up to the podium.
My hands shake and I can feel my heart pounding in my ears.
"Alright, go."
"D-did you know that the man responcible for Sweeney Todd, also contributed to The Fox and the Hound?", my notecard gets Blurry, "That. That man's name is Tim Burton. He.. He.", I beginto get very dizzy. I loose balance and fall backwards. I hit my head.
Its no mystery, I just screwed up any chance of a good grade on that speech.
Pete helps me up and I spend the remainder of the class period with my head on the desk, shielding my red face.
"I'm going to tell my parents we're friends.", Pete smiles as we walk to Joe's car.
"I think I will too. After work."
"You have a job?"
"MovieWorld... ITs pretty lame but..."
"Having a job isn't lame. It's cool."
"Yeah... Well Joe drops me off... and then I walk home when I get off."
I nod, "It's 'too late' for my dad to come get me..."
"That's fucking lame."
"Yeah. But Its ok."
"Not really..."
We get into Joe's car.
I smack the back of his head.
"OW fucker, you want a fuckin' ride to work?"
"Yes but you're such an ass!"
"Waah Waaah.", Joe imitates crying.
I flip him off.
"I told ya dude, no vagina, not happening."
I jump to punch him, Pete grabs me back.
Andy gets to the car, "What the hell."
"Nothing...", JOe mumbles.
"Joe's making fun of my sexuality again."
Andy sighs, "Joseph, stop it please..."
"Hey, can you just drop me off with Patrick?"
"I don't really want to go home yet..."
"Alright... Fine leandy and I."
Pete laughs.
Joe drops us off and we walk inside.
Bill, the manager smiles, "Hello Patrick."
"Hey Bill, This is Pete..."
"Hi Pete... Is he your-"
"Just friends...."
"OOOK. Well your early for work, as usual... So wanna clock in early?"
I frown, I'm gonna eat somethin first."
"Alright Pat."
"It's not Pat."
"YOu talk to your boss like that???"
"We're friends, its ok. Plus I'm his best worker..."
"Unfortuantely, he's the only underage one, and he is my best."
Pete stays for a few hours then his dad comes to pick him up.
"Dad, I want you to meet my new friend, Patrick.
"A working boy. That shows responicbility.", he shakes my hand, "Go t a last name kiddo?"
I glance over at Pete who nods.
"Y-yeah.", I clear my throat, "Stump."
"Stump, with a h?"
"Y-yes sir."
"Pete let's go. Goodbye Stumph."
"Dad, seriously he's really cool-"
"We'll talk later!"
Bill frowns, "Patrick you've got to go home. You'll have me arrested with how much you work."
"Sory Bill, just let me straighten up the-"
"No. Clockout now. ANd go get yourself a decent dinner."
"I'm not hungry.. I had skittles earlier."
"Patrick. I'm serious. You better eat."
"OK... Bye Bill."
"BYe Patrick, be careful on your way home."
I nod and walk out the door.
I walk through the windy night, on the sidewalk. I hear leaves crunch behind me.
I look and see nothing. I shrug, I get freaked out too easily. I begin walking again, and continue to hear it. I look back every so often.
When I get home I take a shower.
Of course, the hot water is gone.
Of course.
So I take my self a cold shower and dry myself off. I get dressed and brush my teeth. I go to my room to do my homework. I look at the clock. It's around 12:30.
I shrug and get out my algebra book.
I feel the wind blowing into my room. I look over to my window, which is now open. THat isn't normal. I never open that window.
Maybe it was Kevin..
I close my window and go back to my book.
I feel wind blowing on the back of my neck.
"Didn't I just close the window?", I ask myself.
Another voice answers, "Yes you did."
I jump, falling off the bed.
I hear a familiar laugh.
I look up and see Pete Wentz, on my bed.
"What the hell?"
"I did tell you I'll be stalking you.", he grins.

Yes, Anuhea, a singer-songwriter from Maui, can play the ukulele.
But before you get the wrong idea, consider this: The first concert she attended was the Foo Fighters.
Her own songs contradict the stereotype of Hawaiian musicians. While Don Ho might have paved the way, "Tiny Bubbles" is far from what Hawaii singer-songwriters like Anuhea find for inspiration.
"I'm sure there are tons of misconceptions," she said in an interview from her home in Maui. "I've talked to some people who are surprised to find out that there is a scene here other than just the traditional Hawaiian style of music. There's a style of our own and a genre of music that combines Hawaiian vibes with the island rhythms of reggae, and in some cases with pop, rock and even hip hop. Hawaii's got a real unique thing going on out here, and the people here grow up with it, are making it themselves, and now it's spreading to the rest of the world."
Anuhea will perform at Bar Deluxe on May 14 to promote her new release, "For Love," as part of The Love & Roots Tour, co-headlined by Bermuda-raised reggae star Mishka.
While the Hawaiian singer is considered a big success on the islands, she isn't as well-known on the mainland, despite pleasant, breezy pop songs that sound crafted in the islands, yet share influences with hip hop and rock. (There's no apparent influences from "Tiny Bubbles," in other words.)
To read the rest of the story, and to check out music from Anuhea, go to:
Anuhea with Mishka
When » Monday, May 14, at 9 p.m.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."
"I used navy to personalize my save the dates and match my wedding colors. I added another line of text underneath, and it turned out perfectly. I used rounded edges which look great. I like how this card emphasized the picture of my fiance and I and the words "save the date". This card made it simple and straightforward which is what I wanted."
"We love the design and the size of our save the date magnet! Ordering and customizing was an easy process and we received our magnets before our estimated delivery time. I would highly recommend this style and magnet."
"I was surprised by the quality of the magnets. I was pretty sure the photo would turn out more grainy, but the photo turned out clear. I love the simplicity and ease of using these templates. The only drawback is that the size is smaller than expected...but they do post up the dimensions, and somehow I still thought they would be larger."
"I had taken my time when it came to choosing our save the dates. Of course as a bride you want nothing but the best for your big day. Wedding paper divas made it extremely easy for me to choose from several selections. It was easy to upload my photos and put my own touch to them. When it came to ordering I received same day service. My design was double checked for me and a proof was sent that afternoon. I put my order in on a Tuesday and received my order that Saturday. I was very impressed with the timeliness. I can't wait to order our invitations here in a couple weeks. Thank you!"

Yesterday at the office, we were coming up with strange and magical CSS tricks. Take this one for instance, it makes empty links very visible:
a[href = ""] {
background: red;
color: white;
font-size: x-large;
You can also style absolute links differently from relative links:
a[href ^= http] {
display: inline-block;
color: red;
transform: rotate(180deg);
If you want to have a different style for links pointing out of your domain, you can use the :not() selector. This is actually how we do the little arrows next to external links at HTML5Rocks.
a[href ^= 'http']:not([href *= 'html5rocks.']) {
background: transparent url(arrow.png) no-repeat center right;
padding-right: 16px;
Just to remind you that you're not limited to styling links, here's how to make all PNG images inverted:
img[src $= .png] {
filter: invert(100%);
Moving on from attribute selectors, did you know that you can make the document head visible, along with the other elements there?
head {
display: block;
border-bottom: 5px solid red;
script, style, link {
display: block;
white-space: pre;
font-family: monospace;
Or that you can use the awesome power of CSS attr-function to fill in the :after and :before content?
script:before {
content: "";
style:before {
content: "
