- It was terrific!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014I was taking my sister to dinner to celebrate her birthday. Everything was great! From the restaurant itself, to the server, to the outstanding meal! I had filet mignon and my sister had salmon. Both were cooked perfectly! And dessert......I had bananas foster and she had banana cheesecake. Yummy!!! We will definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!SueZDined on 9/27/2014As "empty nesters" always looking for new places to dine, we decided to take our parents and granddaughter to this one. Food was very good, decor comfortable and inviting, service excellent. A bit pricey, but worth it! We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!GjhughesDined on 9/19/2014Our anniversary dinner at Bridget's was just as perfect as we hoped for. Beautiful atmosphere- like a big city steak house, but friendlier. The crab cake appetizer was fresh and beautifully presented, as was the lobster risotto. We chose the Butcher Block dinner for two for the entree. The halves of lobster stuffed with crab were tender and easy to remove from the shell. (We took the remaining shells and claws home to have the next day!) the 10 ounce filet was cooked perfectly wth a sauce that was amazing! There was a crock of gigantic shrimp and diver scallops scampi- again- exceptional. Cheddar chipotle mashed potatoes were to die for! The mango cheesecake dessert was unbelievable! The entire staff was warm and genuine, yet professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just a bit below expectationsLarrykDined on 9/15/2014One of our favorite restaurants fell just short of expectations. Beautiful restaurant with terrific ambience. Had to look for parking attendant and had to go inside to ask manager where he was. and then arrived. Excellent $30 fixed price menu with top items and good flavor. My NY strip was a bit tough and chewy but had good flavor. Two others had the NY strip and had no problem. The waiter was slow and had to ask for a couple of things more than once. My daughter ordered a glass of wine and had to send it back because it had turned, It was taken back and replaced. We will still return and still love the place. We will chalk it up to a Monday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/14/2014Good quality steaks. Demi glace tasted non-homemade and somewhat over powering. Nice service and decor.Special Features:
- Good pLace but pricy.DMSHDined on 9/13/2014Love the food, nice place, good service!! Great drinks, atmosphere is pretty good, and it is easy to park with free valet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ALWAYS THE BESTOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/13/2014HAVE EATEN HERE 4-5 TIMES PAST COUPLE YEARS AND FOOD ALWAYS GREAT. MY WIFE AND I FEEL BEST RESTAURANT IN THIS PART OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY. ALSO SOMEWHAT PRICIER BUT THIS TIME WE GOT EARLY BIRD SPECIAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE $ 35 DOLLARS PER PERSON AND WAS PLENTY OF FOOD AND AS USUAL, VERY TASTY. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND BRIDGETS WHEN YOU WANT HIGH PROBABILITY OF GETTING GREAT MEAL.Special Features:
- Dined for special occasionamg5079Dined on 9/12/2014After eating at Bridget's we've decided we need more special occasions! All the food was delicious (gnocchi, lobster risotto, rib-eye steak, apple pie) and our server was attentive but not overbearing. We can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LoudKeatgsr07Dined on 9/12/2014Food was great, service was good, noise level was too loud for a steakhouse dinner. I'm sure that's because we were seated in the front area, closest to the bar, but it was loud to the point of not being able to carry on normal conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experienceBethDined on 9/11/2014We attended Bridget's to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Everyone's dinner was outstanding! The filets, hamburger and Chilean Sea Bass and Tuna all cooked to perfection. Our waiter was very professional and personable. We had a wonderful evening and plan to return for next family celebration.Special Features:
- ginOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/10/2014The noise level in the outside room was unbearable. It was too loud to really converse with our dinner guests. Why not add some baffles to the ceiling to aid in lessening the roar.I would recommend this to a friend.
- XXXXXXXXXXXVIPDined on 8/30/2014HAVE DINED HERE MANY TIMES ALWAYS ENJOYABLE FRIENDLY SERVICESpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service. Very noisy.JudyDined on 8/23/2014I have read many reviews on this restaurant. The only bad thing is it was very noisy. If they would just enclose the bar from the restaurant - it would cut down on the noise level. Otherwise food and service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatJamieVIPDined on 8/22/2014This is our favorite place, hands down. The food is consistently great and the waitstaff is pleasant. Never a bad meal.Special Features:
- Great restaurantFoodiemomDined on 8/22/2014Cute place. Food was very good. My steak came out wrong but the restaurant was very accommodating and was cooked perfectly the second time. Would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DodieVIPDined on 8/20/2014Terrific night at Bridget's. All four of us loved our meals...Chilean sea bass, short ribs, salmon all delicious. Our french waiter, Bernard, was charming.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bridget's SteakhouseBaiaDined on 8/9/2014While the food was delicious they insisted on opening the windows thus allowing flies and CO2 in. I spent, what would have been an otherwise enjoyable dinner experience with family, being annoyed. I would only recommend this restaurant if you call ahead and ensure the windows were closed!
- Good but extremely noisyTbearDined on 8/1/2014We were looking forward to sitting down with friends to catch up with a good dinner. However it was way too loud to hear them. Food was good but not for the price. For an $11 salad it should have had lots of toppings, but it was mainly salad greens with a Tbls of toppings and minimal dressing. Calamari was chewy but did have good flavor. Would try the place again but not for an initimate dinner since it too loud.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food, relaxed atmosphereDolson13Dined on 7/31/2014Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Bridget's. Great chicken corn chowder, Caesar salad, steak special and crab cake. Definitely recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/29/2014Would have given it 5 stars but one of my longtime favorite appetizers,the lobster risostto, has changed over the past few years - it now has a tomoto based (orange color) flavor which "ruined" the original recipe. But when I told the server how disappointed I was in it she swapped it for another favorite, the crab cake, which was delicious. I love the atmosphere on the side of the restaurant - had the windows open to the street on a pleasant summer night. The staff is always pleasant and seem to enjoy their jobs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TimboJonesDined on 7/27/2014Not a single complaint. This place is the tops. Bonus of BYOB on Sundays also.Special Features:
- Good steak, noisy dining roomJK56Dined on 7/26/2014Everyone in our party ordered steak, either ribeye or strip. The ribeyes were excellent. The strip was a little overdone for medium rare. The only negative was that the dining room was very loud. Poorly designed acoustics. It's not that any one table was being loud, just too much background noise from a full room to converse comfortably with your party.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kgaffDined on 7/20/2014Bridget's food is consistently good. I especially enjoy their filet mignon. The wait staff is courteous and accommodating.Special Features:

- Consistent spotOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/19/2014We like Bridget's especially during Ambler restaurant week. Great steaks and potatoes , apps and wine. Can be noisy but service always excellent, particularly Nick and Peter. We like to sit by the open windows in the bar area as it is quieter. Nice stroll on Main Street afterwards or before or after movies at the theater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food but Very NoisyGeoffDined on 7/16/2014We enjoyed some good food and wine (on a Wednesday night from 7pm-9pm) however the noise level was so high that it made it almost impossible to hear each other across a table. We will not be going back.Special Features:
- fabulous date night spotMRyanDined on 7/16/2014The hubby and I just went here for Ambler Restaurant week and it was excellent! Also went here for NYE last year- will not a regular spot for us, more special occasion but worth the money :)Special Features:

- Fabulous!DiningProVIPDined on 7/12/2014Always excellent food and service. Our favorite place to stop after the Ambler movie theater on a Sunday. Great seafood, but also known for their steaks. Highly recommend the steak on a plank for two, Bridget's Best. Parking lot a short block away, but they also provide valet parking. Can be a tad noisy, depending on the bar crowd, but you can still have a conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great ExperienceIzatrytDined on 7/12/2014Bridget's is a regular spot for us. Food is consistently delicious and the service is always efficient and friendly.

- Fine but not great steak houselivetoeatVIPDined on 7/3/2014If it weren't in walking distance, we probably wouldn't have chosen it, but we would think twice before spending that much money at a local steak house. The waitress was pleasant and the setting is fine. There's a lot of noise from the bar, though, and that leaks into the restaurant area. The menu is limited and fairly conservative. There just wasn't anything distinctive or memorable that demanded the price level. I have enjoyed previous visits to the bar.
- Consistently Good Food and ServiceFoxEMBAVIPDined on 7/2/2014Ambler's Best Restaurant. Classy decorum, professional service, and excellent food. Bright windows and great energy in the bar area.Special Features:
- Best Restaurant in AmblerChristine1987Dined on 6/30/2014Bridget's is truly the best restaurant in the Ambler/Bluebell area. I've lived in Ambler for about a year an a half and only got the chance to dine at Bridget's about 6 months ago. Since then, I've been back frequently. Bridget's has a laid back atmosphere with 5-star food. Everything I've had off of their menu is literally perfect, from the presentation/portion sizes to the flavor. Although a bit pricey, you are paying for outstanding quality and excellent service. Aaron was my server during my most recent dinning experience. He was kind, professional, and very knowledgable and accomodating. Bernard also helped us with questions. It's nice to go to dinner and be served by staff who actually cares about the restaurant and their customers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (AP) - Millington police say they don't know whether a dead baby found in a ditch on Sunday is the missing 7-week-old Aniston Walker, but they have called in Memphis police just in case.
Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback told WMC-TV (http://bit.ly/1dXXUEr) the baby seems to be less than a year old. It was wearing a onesie, and the body seems to have been there for some time.
Stanback said a motorcyclist who pulled over to the side of the road saw the body in a ditch on Singleton Parkway around noon.
Andrea Walker told police Aniston disappeared on Jan. 9 after she left her home with a 3-year-old as she dropped her 5-year-old son off at school.
Walker was arrested on child neglect charges but has since been released from jail.

By Michael Scheuer, 22-year veteran of the CIA -- The Israel-Firsters try to convince Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are identical, and so spying on America for Israel and suborning American citizens to commit treason is really an okay and even admirable activity. The Israel-Firsters are clearly guilty of trying to create an environment in which the U.S. public accepts the idea that engaging in espionage against their own country on Israel's behalf is consonant with the duties of American citizenship.
Finally, I wish to directly refute the Israel-Firsters' claim that I "cast aspersions on American Jews". I do not cast aspersions, I forthrightly damn, and pray that God damns, any American Jew, Catholic, Evangelical, Irish, German, Hindu, hermaphrodite, thespian, or otherwise who flogs the insane idea that American and Israeli interests are one and the same. The nation-state of Israel is an intolerable burden to the treasury and security of the United States, and Washington's current relationship with Israel sanctioned by the AIPAC-funded political leaders of both parties is one of several factors that are leading to full-scale American participation in other peoples' religious wars, religious wars that David Horowitz's recent "Islamofascist Awareness Week" manifestly wants to bring to the streets of the United States.

Best Wireless-N Router for HD Streaming?
Good Questions
Q - I'm in the market for a brand new wireless-N router for my new apartment this summer and I'm too lazy to do my own research! I want to do lots of HD streaming stuff so one that can handle to the load will be greatly appreciated! Any suggestions?
A - Hey Bobby,
We're always happy to do a little footwork for our readers. Here are our top picks routers out there right now with the criteria you provided (streams HD well, wireless-N, and we're assuming... stylish):
- D-Link DIR-855 Xtreme N Duo Wireless Media Router ($300 - lavish-technologist option)
- D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router ($100 - value option)
- TRENDnet TEW-652BRP Wireless N Home Router ($30 - cheapo-option)
Don't forget to pick up a good wireless adapter, too. We highly recommend the D-Link DWA-556 PCIe Wireless Adapter ($46).
We hope that helps. If any readers out there know of a better option out there for Bobby, please let him (and the rest of us) know in the comments!
7 Comments
What is the definition of "streams HD well" and how do your picks meets the requirements? These picks seem arbitrary.
@Kh�¼rt Great question. Sorry, we weren't clearer in the recommendations. The requirements were good range, MIMO support, IEEE802.11n Draft 2, and QoS capability. Hopefully that clears things up!
how do these compare against apple airport extreme/time capsule?
@pykc0 Seems like someone looked into in at AVSForums. Didn't seem like it could handle HD even though it was dual-broadcasting 2.4 and 5ghz. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1126812
I could totally be wrong though. They keep switching versions. Anyone have other thoughts on the performance of the latest gen AE?
Any chance he could go wired? I have a cable modem, so it was easy to move it near my TV and wire my HTPC up. If you can make it work, that's (obviously) your best bet.
I think wired tends to be the best option. Gigabit = even better. But for those of us without the luxury of knocking holes in walls or against the idea of having wires running throughout our homes, the dream of the perfect wireless HD streamer box is close, but I think we still got a long way to go.

International Data Corporation (IDC) today released the latest results from the Worldwide Semiannual Software Tracker. For the first half of 2012 (1H12), the worldwide software market grew 4.7% year over year reaching a total market size of $167 million, which was in line with IDC's forecast. IDC expects 2012 to be the beginning of a more conservative growth period with gains in the single digits, down slightly from the growth experienced in 2010 and 2011.
On a regional basis, the overall software market was heavily influenced by the downward trend in Western Europe, which represents more than 27% of the worldwide market and was the only region to experience negative growth in 1H12. The U.S. market, which represents more than 45% of the overall market, grew 6.8% year over year while the emerging markets in Latin America and Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) also experienced solid year-over-year growth. The countries with the greatest growth in 1H12 were Colombia, Russia, Philippines, China, Peru, and New Zealand.
Among the three primary segments of "commercial" software in IDC's software taxonomy, the Applications segment, which holds almost 49% of overall market share, was the fastest growing market group with a 5.1% year-over-year growth rate. The Applications market was largely driven by the Collaborative Applications and CRM Applications markets. Within the other two primary "commercial" software segments, Application Development and Deployment (AD&D) and System Infrastructure Software, the most positive growth rates came from the Virtualization-related markets.
A graphic showing the year-over-year growth for the three primary segments and five key software markets in 1H12 is available at IDC.com. The chart is intended for public use in online news articles and social media. Instructions on how to embed this graphic can be found by viewing this press release on IDC.com.
In the Collaborative Applications segment, Team Collaborative Applications and Enterprise Social Software stand out with strong growth rates over the last two years. Not surprisingly, the Enterprise Social Software has moved from 3% market share within the Collaborative Applications secondary market in 2008 to more than 11% in the first half of 2012. Meanwhile, the Team Collaborative Applications market grew almost 15% during the first half of 2012.
"Increasingly, companies are thinking of social solutions as decision support and ad hoc work facilitators and are looking for richer features that integrate data and content with people and systems," says Vanessa Thompson, research manager, Enterprise Social Networks and Collaborative Technologies. "In the new collaborative enterprise, companies are extending asynchronous data and content sharing capabilities to enable collaboration with a broader range of external constituents, including customers, partners, and suppliers."
Among the Enterprise Applications markets, the Customer Relationship Management Applications market stands out as three out of four CRM market segments performed at a double-digit rate in 1H12. The only CRM segment that experienced single-digit growth was the Contact Center market. The other three markets, Customer Service, Marketing, and Sales, had a combined growth rate over 12%.
"The CRM applications market experienced a rebound effect in 2011 that is being carried through well into 2012. The 'century of the customer' has centered on increasing customer experience and, powered by social media, is motivating organizations to invest in their customer handling infrastructure. The move to interact with customers when, where, and how they want is changing the go-to-market strategies of many organizations. Technology is now a requirement to be able to deliver consistency at scale," said Mary Wardley, program vice president, CRM Applications and Customer Experience.
Both virtualization markets, Virtual Machine and Cloud System Software and Virtual Client Computing, were among the fastest growing software markets. The Virtual Machine and Could System Software market experienced somewhat lower growth of 17.8% in 1H12 while the Virtual Client Computing market maintained the low double-digit growth rate it has experienced over the past three years. Other virtualization-related technologies, such as the Workload Scheduling and Automation market, are following the same high-growth patterns as the core technology segments.
"Virtual machine software unit shipments still remain healthy and growing, but have seen some slowdown in mature markets that have high virtualization rates. Business models are shifting as well, with the hypervisor drawing less direct revenue and increasingly becoming an embedded feature of operating systems and cloud system software. Competition in the market is fiercer than ever, with vendors like Microsoft and Red Hat challenging market leader VMware with increasingly capable and cheaper solutions. Cloud system software, which includes platforms such as vCloud, OpenStack, and CloudStack, remains a nascent market, but holds a lot of promise as customers evolve from virtualized infrastructure to cloud infrastructure. On the client side, virtual client computing remains on a steady growth path as the industry matures its solutions and customers begin to transform their desktops and workspaces," said Gary Chen, research manager, Cloud and Virtualization System Software.
IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Software Tracker provides total market size and vendor share for the eighty-two segments of the global software market. Measurement for this tracker is total software revenue, which includes license plus maintenance plus SaaS and other subscription revenue. The Tracker covers more than 800 software vendors across a total of 49 countries globally. Annual five-year market forecasts for this Tracker are updated semiannually and include five-year annual market projections. Forecasts are available at worldwide, regional, and country levels.

Pregnant Man Expecting Again
He says the baby is due June 12.
Thomas Beatie, a transgender lving as a man, and his wife welcomed baby girl Susan on June 29 in Oregon. Now, just five-and-a-half months later, he's expecting again, reports 20/20 exclusively.
Thomas Beatie, who is in his first trimester, tells Barbara Walters he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone after Susan's birth so he could have another baby.
"I feel good," he said. "I had my checkups with my hormone level, as far as the HCG. And everything is right on track."
As for baby Susan, she is doing fine. In fact, Thomas' wife Nancy is nursing the infant. She told Barbara Walters "My breasts started lactating." She has been breastfeeding Susan for four months.
"I just wish that people could be more tolerant to different types of families," Nancy Beatie said. "And I want them to know that we love each other, and we're going to love this baby."
Thomas Beatie has written a book about his life called "Labor of Love" which goes on sale this week. "What Is a Man, What Is a Woman? Journey of a Pregnant Man" airs Friday at 10 PM on ABC.
Do you think the Pregnant Man should have another baby?
Leave them alone. Is it weird? Heck yea.
However, they have a desire to have children as a couple just like you and I.
You can tell how in love they are isn't that a good thing when it comes to being amazing parents?
Come on people lighten up. It is a little weird? Oh yea, but so what. Why can't two people who are so in love have children just as you and I?
to each his own.
too bad men dont have babies…
I'm astounded at the malice, mean-spiritness and total paucity of Christ-like ethic in the majority of the postings, particularly those that start citing Scripture as if that then makes their self-righteous judgement valid. Cease and desist with the nasty behaviour folks - act like grown-ups - treat others as you would like someday to be respected and treated. Is this story perpetuating Hoopla - sure is it! Is it going to bring down civilization - not going to happen. Plz take one iota of your respective negative anger, walk out your door, go to a neighbor's house who is: a) shut-in, b) struggling to make ends meet, c) hasn't had a minute of downtime in weeks, d) just needs to talk, etc and say four magic words "Can I help you?" and rechannel your kinetics into something postive. With all of the big -and I mean really, really big issues out there, the fact that folks can sit and spin and spew such nasty, condemning and poseur comments is disheartening. Me- Its my day off and I'm heading out to a neighbors in 5 minutes or so - her baby is sick and I'm going to play and read with her other two kids for a couple of hours and walk her dog so she and the babe can get some sleep - see how easy it is to be a little more upbeat. Not a real big deal I know, but, I'll feel better and so will she and the world will go on regardless. :)
This is weird. The first I heard about this was on the T.V. show Dr. 90210.
My feeling on this is that this person is a woman dressing as a man. Whatever. She had a baby and is now pregnant with another. Whatever, again. However, I feel they should have just quietly chosen their alternate lifestyle and not contacted the media and gone public with it. What was the point other than to be infamous and make money off of it? So now they're famous, ridiculed, rich, their kids will suffer socially, what's the trade-off? Was it worth it? If they truly just wanted to be in love and raise a family then they would've just done it. She is no more a man than I am, just not as pleasant looking.
I don't have any issues with Thomas becoming pregnant, I have an issue with the media calling Thomas a pregnant 'man'. There is NOTHING male about Thomas. I know some women who have that amount of hair on their bodies and they don't walk around calling themselves male. You still have a vagina! There is nothing female about having breasts or smooth hairless skin. Men have breasts and can have smooth skin. YOU HAVE A VAGINA! One of the beautiful things about being a woman is that you have different parts than a man and, although not always the case (infertility, etc.) our bodies are carriers of life. Men CAN NOT biologically carry a life! (At least until technology catches up). I have no problem if they want to have a child but call it what it is, a transgendered-not transexual- lesbian couple who is having children!!
I have no problem with how these two choose to live or parent their children. What I don't care for is all the media saying "Pregnant Man has a Baby". How is he a pregnant man? That seems to imply something other than the reality.
Why are they going on all these tv shows? It's just two people having a baby. It seems like he's a "woman" who is trying to live as a man which is fine but why all the hooplah and freakish advertising?
That is really wrong! ! ! ! !
Man its oveus that he/she cheated on he/she's wife.
she is man but was born a woman. we shouldn't be quick to judge . i am happy for them . i congratulate them . i'm happy that there is people like them that love their children.
I think that there is no problem and its fine as long as the children are loved and taken care of. I'm a young mom and had too many people look down on me and I take PERFECT care of my child. So, I don't think you should judge what you see on the outside unless you seen whats on the inside too.
Correct she is not a man and needs to repent and get to know jesus.
This is NOT a man…it is a wanna be. If you are going to write, talk or speak about this woman why not give true facts…tell the truth. Men do not have babies. Having babies is not in a mans make-up and God did not intend for men to have babies. God knew who she was in her mother's womb. After all He formed this woman and did not intend her to be anything other than a woman.
This is gisgusting and wrong. Society is being brought down every single day by garbage like this, we dont have to accept it just because the media tells us to.
I think it is great. The world should be made of different family types. As long the children are loved they will do well. Good luck to them. I am sure if his wife could she would have.

Beggars at the mailbox drive me nuts. I got my toons to 70 without once borrowing money...no reason they can't do the same. I have lent money to guildies many a time, but that's different. I always know that when I get a tell from someone with "hi" and nothing else, they will be asking me for money.
I will make food and water for people if they ask nicely, but if they just come up to me in org and open trade then send a tell with "water" then I tell them to eff off. Same goes for ports although I won't make a port for less than 50s and typical on our server is 2g. I've had people get pissed at me for not doing it for free....ugh if you don't like it then go the slow way.

William Shakespeare described love as "an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken."

WATERTOWN -- A Watertown woman is accused of embezzling more than $100,000 from the local school district. Authorities allege that 42-year-old Denise Trively took the money between June 2012 and October 2013 while she was benefits coordinator for the district. She's been suspended since last November. Trively could face up to 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine if convicted of felony grand theft embezzlement. A telephone listing for her could not be found.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry spoke in Atlanta today, and my AJC colleague Aaron Gould-Sheinin has the details. I noted some of Perry's lines on my Twitter feed. I'd call them his applause lines, except that he got little more than polite applause. (There were standing ovations as he took and left the stage, but they seemed to be pro forma.)
In general, I got the impression Perry wasn't very well briefed about his audience — the event was sponsored by the free-market-oriented, but nonpartisan, Georgia Public Policy Foundation, and the crowd not only was fairly wonky but included more than a few fans of Mitt Romney. Hence, Perry's thinly veiled attacks on Romney didn't go over terribly well. Perry's talk was also billed as a policy discussion about what he had done in Texas, but it sounded a lot more like a stump speech. He took no questions from the audience or the press.
In all, I'm not sure it was a very successful outing for the Texan.
On the other hand, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus gave a spirited address about the Obama administration and the burdens Washington is putting on business. Here's a flavor:
You'll be hearing more from Marcus on these topics. He's begun an initiative called the Job Creators Alliance to speak out against government meddling with business. He said 1,000 businesses have already joined, and that he expects the total to reach 5,000 to 7,000 before next year's election. It could be higher, he said, but "we have so many [business]people intimidated, it's frightening."

Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus may have given "a spirited address," but according to Kyle's excerpts, a rational response should have been a big yawn. Regulations – the cause of all the problems in the economy. Strange that the economy was humming with virtually the same regulations a little more than a decade ago.
September 30th, 2011
4:24 pm
The economic mess that we're in today was caused directly and entirely by LACK of regulation, not too much of it.
Lack of regulations encouraged rating agencies to rate junk bonds as AAA for fear of losing their investment banker customers. Lack of regulations on lenders encouraged them to make bad loans without consequence since they had every intention of re-selling 100 percent of the loans on the secondary market. Lack of regulations on derivative trading. Lack of regulations that would require transparency in such products. And lack of enforcement of what regulations we did have…enforcement that should have been conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank (Alan Greenspan) and the SEC (President Bush).

The burdens of regulation also extend to state and local governments. I live in a small town in the mountains. It is very well managed and is in the process of planning a future resevoir to meet the water needs of the future. The proposed budjet for the project was recently revealed in the local weekly newspaper. Total cost $50 million dollars. Of this number $34 million was for EPA and Army Corps of Engineer testing and regulations and $16 million for purchasing the land and building the dam.

Those lenders had every intention of re-selling their loans, but to whom? That's right, Fannie and Freddie
That's wrong. Most of the subprime mess went to private money, not the semi-government orgs. Some of that private money was off-book funds set up by Bear Stearns and Lehman, both deceased, because they were forced to bring them back on-book. Then there were the counter-party risk derivatives written by AIG that AIG couldn't pay on, so all those companies thinking they were covered weren't until the US Government decided to backstop THEM in exchange for most of that company.
Oh, and who was running the SEC when they granted that waiver to the big banks, Kyle? You forgot to mention that. And who lobbied hard for that waiver? I think you forgot that as well.

"On both major political parties, both of which he blamed for such damaging regulation as Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank and Obamacare: "Damn both their houses. … They pass bills without understanding" the consequences."
What can one expect from a body comprised largely of lawyers? And I don't mean to impugn their integrity or intelligence by that statement; it's just patently obvious that, because they operate within a closed system outside of normal life, they really don't understand how to truly solve problems. Their solutions are legal ones more than practical, engineering ones.

How HUD Mortgage Policy Fed The Crisis
By Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writer
In 2004, as regulators warned that subprime lenders were saddling borrowers with mortgages they could not afford, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development helped fuel more of that risky lending.
Eager to put more low-income and minority families into their own homes, the agency required that two government-chartered mortgage finance firms purchase far more "affordable" loans made to these borrowers. HUD stuck with an outdated policy that allowed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to count billions of dollars they invested in subprime loans as a public good that would foster affordable housing.
In 1995, President Bill Clinton's HUD agreed to let Fannie and Freddie get affordable-housing credit for buying subprime securities that included loans to low-income borrowers. The idea was that subprime lending benefited many borrowers who did not qualify for conventional loans. HUD expected that Freddie and Fannie would impose their high lending standards on subprime lenders.
Another big success courtesy of the federal government.

"The economic mess that we're in today was caused directly and entirely by LACK of regulation, not too much of it."
Funny…I was under the impression the mess was caused primarily by greed and folly. I really wish it were possible to legislate against bad behavior, but that always seems to fall well short of the ingenuity of those bent of wrongdoing in inventing ways to circumvent the laws or some news ways of doing wrong. What I imagine will work much more effectively is greater enforcement and harsher penalties. I hear there are fewer thefts in Turkey than in our beloved country. Fear of consequences can be a very powerful deterrent to crime, but only when justice is swift and severe (you know, like mandatory 25 year to life sentences for those convicted of defrauding the public at large).

The mess was primarily caused by folks not paying their bills.

The problem Rick Perry has is that he needs exposure, but the more exposure he gets, the more America figures out that he's an empty suit. All hat, no cattle is what we say in Texas, except Perry can't even where a hat, since his primary selling point is his hair. Thank goodness that nobody cares outside of Aggieland.

Bernie is a great philanthropist and salesman. He used to hold "juice" sessions (nothing bad, he was chief cheerleader) at Home Depot. Others made the real busn. decisions. In 1978, Jimmy Carter was President and the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Isn't that when Bernie said things were great? And, of course, Home Depot was his 2nd attempt at super hardware store concept. His 1st ended in bankruptcy and he walked away from its debts. But that's just busn. for corporations. For the rest of us, we better pay our bills.

Perry needed to be "briefed on his audience." This is why Washington is a joke. There is no one genuine. Does anyone think Ron Paul would have been "briefed on his audience"? Even someone like Newt I don't think would have needed to have been "briefed" on the audience. LZ Granderson had it right on a recent CNN article. We keep complaining about having stupid politicians. Maybe the problem is our stupid voters in this country.

I don't suppose .75 cent an hour labor has anything to do with moving American companies to China and elsewhere, it's all the burdensome regulations. Horse hockey!
And, the lack of regulations in China resulted in air so polluted they had to curtail automobile traffic during the Olympics so the athletes could breathe. Of course, the oligarchs who have their businesses there breathe perfectly pristine air from their Colorado mansions or homes in the islands.
Businesses love to whine, but taxes as a percentage of the GDP are at a 60 year low.

In this whole argument, no one has mentioned the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that allowed for the creation of these banking superstores — banks too big to fail — a bill that was signed by Bill Clinto primarily because the Republicans had a veto proof majority in both houses of congress.
Many think Phil Gramm (R-TX) is the father of the financial meltdown, and I tend to agree although there's enough blame to go around.

Strange that Net Job Creations went from 31% in the decade of the sixties to 0% in the decade of the 2000's.
Road Scholar is correct. The world has changed, the world economy has changed and the US economy will never again generate a 31% net job creation number.
There are 6.8 billion consumers on the planet. 95% of them live outside the United States.
So the builder of widgets will build his new factory closer to his consumers.
And to many are saying that government with its inability to do anything correct is also the answer.
If Marcus expects government to come up with a solution to create 17 million jobs, well he just needs to go back to looking at the fish tank.
The only way government creates jobs is to start a war or create a new department.
That's it! A new cabinet level department! The Department of Job Creation!

Road Scholar: Change is a bitch, isn't it!
If you're talking about Obozo-style "change", you are correct!
Used to be, when we had a recession, we recovered from it quickly, within a few months. And when we had a particularly steep recession, the recovery was correspondingly strong.
With all the "change" that's taken place in our regulatory, legal, and taxation regimes, and recently with the unfunded government mandates and business-bashing, we aren't recovering at all.
So yeah, "hope and change" isn't working out too well, and it's a real bitch for the 9% officially unemployed and the 20% unemployed but not counted. It's a bitch for the folks who are one day going to have to pay off our recent string of $1.5 trillion deficits and the unfunded government worker pension liabilities.
Thanks for the "hope and changes", Democrats!

While scrolling through TV channels last night I came upon the last part of an interview with Gov Christie by Piers Morgan on CNN.
Apparently I missed the political questions and only heard the personal views on issues.
Christie has firm, set views on same sex marriage, civil unions, homosexuality that at times differ from the teachings of his Catholic faith. But he does not back off those views an inch.
Marriage is between a male and female only, civil unions are OK, homosexuals are born with that inclination and homosexual sex is not a sin.
There were short interviews in his house with his wife and two teenage kids with the Governor present. All four repeated that there would not be a presidential bid.
I found the interview refreshing. The concept of political correctness has not yet found the Governor.
And I suspect it will not.

I find it outrageous when Bernie Marcus, of all people, talks about saving small businesses and creating jobs. For, other than Walmart, what business had more to do with driving small businesses out of the market place than Home Depot? Every small town in America lost businesses because of HD. And I'm willing to wager that it did so why violating one of those "regulations"- actually the Robinson Patman Act- designed to protect small businesses from big guys forcing unequal concessions on price from suppliers. I suspect Bernie was not too concerned about exclusive dealing and other anticompetitive practices as he drove the small guys out of the market. As for jobs, when it was growing so big as to make Bernie a billionaire, was he concerned about jobs in America, or were the majority of the products sold by HD made elsewhere? I suspect that the majority of products sold were made elsewhere as the managers of his suppliers those complaining about regulations as the cause of all their trouble- had no problem whatsoever shifting jobs overseas and increasing tenfold their share of the profits.
Undoubtedly, there are some regulations we could do without. But you notice that BM is not specific- it's just regulations. Is he for clean water or not? Is he for clean air or not? Sometimes, the common good- and not individual profit- must come first. How about child labor laws" is he against them, too?

In 1975, U.S. legislators — fearing a proliferation of unscrupulous ratings agencies — designated Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch as the only ratings organizations banks and brokers could use to evaluate the credit worthiness of their products.

"Another fine job by the federal government." (Said in scorn.)
Yet most of the US is looking to government to get us out of this "mess." Why?
If government has the record of mismanagement that most claim, why does everyone look to the government for solutions?
You would think that is the last place we would look.

Why does everyone look to the government for solutions? Damn fine question, since they rarely have any and funk up most everything they get involved with. The federal government does have one thing going for it, which is irresistible to politicians, liberals, and the slothful–an essentially unlimited supply of money.

Remember: Clinton had high taxes and regulations, and the economy was cookin' hot for years and years. The Dubious and the GOP Congress lowered taxes and regulations, and sent us into a decade of high unemployment and poor growth.
The facts simply don't support you, but I'm sure that won't slow ya down one bit.

Bernie is right. Transocean, the largest owner of deep sea oil platforms throughout the world, moved their headquarters from the US to Switzerland, taking with thousands of jobs. They could see the handwriting on the wall. The US has become about the last place anyone wants to do business any more. All we are able to do any more is sit on our hands and complain while our government borrows trillions to pay for food stamps for 78 million people. We have squandered an opportunity and our children and grandchildren will pay the price. Mr. Marcus knows this well.

Too bad Tyler can only "blame Bush". Otherwise, he might have time to tell us all about Obozo's solutions to our many problems. Trouble is, Obozo's so busy creating new disasters, he doesn't have time to actually "fix" anything.
Tyler, I'd be happy to go back to the Clinton levels of spending, and in trade I'd agree to his higher tax rates. It'd be a big improvement over your Idiot Messiah's disastrous, credit-rating-lowering, un-American spending orgy.

god bless Bernie, Home Depot was good to me as a shareholder and business client back in the 90's, but for all his complaints, I think he needs to acknowledge that SOME regulations are necessary and judicious. and while we are on the subject; regulations are a two-way street. various corporate (and individual) tax codes are "regulations" (they regulate how much a person or business pays or does not pay in taxes, and these regulations are often put into place via the efforts of lobbyists, who basically draft legislation per the directives of their clients. not saying if it is good or bad, but money buys access to regulation – for example the de-regulation of Stegall-Glass, the Commodities Futures Trading Act, etc.). nope, Bernie needs to run his Aquarium, Foundation, and whatnot, thank America for "enabling" him to become a billionaire, and leave the politics to less noble types (Deal, Romney, Perry, et al).

In addition to the Morgenson book I would suggest that you read:
Simon Johnson, "13 Bankers"
Michael Lewis, "The Big Short"
Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, "All the Devils Are Here"
Paul Krugman, "The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008."
FNMA and FHLMC each behaved badly in the matter of the housing bubble, but they were far from the only bad actors. A bi-partisan group legislated that derivative contracts could not be regulated by anyone. Major Wall Street firms and others funneled money into the sub-prime market by increasingly complex derivatives which they had little understanding of but which Moody's and S&P gave AAA ratings to. The result was that the system was on the verge of collapse when the Federal Government had to step to prevent it. This confirms the late, great Michael Harrington's aphorism, "In the USA the profits are privatized and the losses are socialized."
And remember that Fannie and Freddie had been privatized so that their executives had the same incentives to increase their own incomes that Wall Street executives had.

I forgot to mention that one of the heros of Morgenson's book is Roy Barnes who got the legislature to pass a strong predatory lending law which was gutted in 2003 after he lost the 2002 election. This made Georgia a practically unregulated mortgage market where abuses, even in good times, were legendary.

Examples of burdensome, unnecessary regulations? I'm sure that Bernie Marcus sincerely believes that government regulation of business is excessive and often counterproductive. But it strikes me as odd how seldom the anti-regulation folks offer specific examples. I suspect the reason is that in any given case, a large majority of people would think that the regulation sounds perfectly reasonable.
Here's one way to look at it. What if you're on the other end of some harmful action or inaction by a business? Get sick from eating contaminated food and you're not going to be overly sympathetic to Marcus's view. If your supervisor systematically harasses you and other employees, you're probably not going to want to hear much more from Marcus. Or if the textile plant upriver, over many years, brazenly dumps pollutants into your river — where you fish, where you let your kids swim — you may even want want more regulation, not less, along with aggressive enforcement of the regulations already on the books. In the last example, search for news stories on "Ogeechee River" and keep in mind that the outraged general public in that part of the state is, almost to a person, deeply conservative and largely Republican.

Some of the key owners he represents don't feel the same way. Jerry Richardson, who owns the Carolina Panthers and is a co-chairman of the NFL's labor committee, made his pessimism known during a press conference to discuss his coaching search.
Lawyers representing the NFLPA keep asking for "more money and less work," Richardson said.
Apparently Goodell was aware of Richardson's stance and remarks, and was comfortable with Richardson voicing his opinion.
The playoffs haven't even started and the posturing has already begun.

we tear down others
never ourselves
we point the fingers and do the blaming
never look at our reflection
or open our hands
we just partake in the downfall
never bother to heal the wound
instead we walk by
with crudest instrument
blunt words
hammering insults
we continue to tear down others
but we never check ourselves

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Lady Blazers have a four and six record, and have lost two straight.
They also haven't played a game in over two weeks after a tournament in Washington was canceled because of snow.
VSU showed no rust early at home against Nova Southeastern. Alli Jones knocked down a three, followed by Leschelle Matthews driving for the layup.
Nova stayed close as Priscilla Perez hit a three for the visitors.
Kiley Hill's Lady Blazers kept going to the basket, as Sczeny Hartry made a great move for the layup, leading to the lady blazers' defense coming alive.
Lesschell Matthews got a steal, and Amanda Haven scored on a layup.
The VSU women were up eight at half, but Nova came back to win in the second half 67-59. The Lady Blazers are 4-7.

Trachycarpus martianus
Trachycarpus martianus Natural Habitat: Naturally found in two locations, and in two forms. The first forms, from the Khasia Hills in South West Asia, know as the Khasia form. The second from the Himalayas in Nepal know as the Nepal form. Description: Both forms are very similar with small differences and natural environment. We are unsure which form these seedlings are. The martianus is a tall slender solitary fan palm that can reach heights over 30 feet tall. This palm has a long smooth and skinny brown/gray trunk. The crownshaft appears a large bulge at the top of the palm covered with a thick fibrous coating, similar to burlap. The crown shaft is self-cleaning, but only after the old leaves age on the tree for a while and eventually fall off. The leaves emerge from the crownshaft in distinct layers giving the palm an open organized appearance. The leaves are fan shaped with many smaller finger like segments. The leaves are attached to the end of very long branches that are covered in thin white fuzz, which is very visible when the palm is younger. Since the leaves are so far from the crown, due to the long braches, you can clearly see all aspects of the crown. Environment: The martianus enjoys a sunny moist and well-drained area where it can get plenty of sun. It is very cold tolerant and can handle frost, freezes, and temperatures into the low 20's. Very well suited for sub-tropical and temperate environments. Zones 7-10 As a seedling it should be kept in a shady area where it can get regular moisture, preventing the palm from drying out. It should also be protected from harsh weather as a young palm, to insure good health and fast growing.

It has been our practice round the year to look after the supreme interest of student's community. Examination system with all the rampant ill has become a nightmare for the Board authorities and vested interests had made all efforts for betterment a dream. It is a very complicated, security oriented, and warrants vigilance at all times and at all levels. Nevertheless, I am very glad that the performance of BISE Bannu has achieved the desired goals and is heading towards further improving the system of examinations, appointing the invigilation staff /inspectors for examination centres/ effective annual inspections of the private institutions and ensuring the quality of the standards of education in the area.
The Complete computerization of the entire system and online facility process is in progress & will be completed by the end of 2004, and is thus stepping into the new millennium along with the advanced world.

"To Paul Wilson--Re:Hanukkah gifts and customs"
Gifts are given each day of the 8 days of Hanukkah, which is why some kids --learning about the holiday ---ask to celebrate Hanukkah! :)
Hannukah gelt (chocolate, foil-wrapped "coins") is won by spinning the dreidle, a top. And the Menora is lighted each night, with special prayers for each----
Here're 2 good links to info about the holiday:
God bless! Jan
