Hilary and Joel Not With Love
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 34 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Hilary's perfume may have been With Love but it looks like she won't be wearing it anytime soon for Joel. The couple are supposedly no longer together. Apparently while performing as a guest DJ in Chicago Wednesday night, Joel talked about being single. He also told people at the club that the two broke up about 10 days ago and he blamed the break up on their age difference. We wonder if the staying a virgin topic was part of the issue. We never really understood these two together anyway. Hilary is young and adorable - let's just hope she stays clear of the latest single girls' club.

Alleged Theo Epstein stalker ordered to get mental health treatment
By MATT MCKINNEY Chicago Sun-Times firstname.lastname@example.com July 23, 2012 5:58PM
Kathleen Kearney
Updated: August 25, 2012 6:11AM
A Massachusetts woman charged with stalking Cubs President Theo Epstein can return to Boston until her next court date, a Cook County judge ruled Monday.
Kathleen Kearney, 44, has a history of mental illness and must seek treatment while she awaits her next hearing, Judge Marvin Luckman said.
Massachusetts court documents filed in the current case state that in August 2004, Kearney was declared "incapable of taking care of herself." The same documents refer to a court-ordered plan to give Kearney "anti-psychotic medication." A similar medication plan remains in effect until March 2013, according to separate Massachusetts court order.
Kearney was released from Cook County Jail on Friday after her brother-in-law posted a $7,500 bond.
If not getting treatment, she must stay with her sister and brother-in-law and check in periodically with Cook County officials.
Kearney, a Harvard graduate from Canton, Mass., was charged last week with two felony counts of stalking after she allegedly showed up at Epstein's house bearing gifts for his young son.
Kearney had previously been warned to stay away from the Cubs president, authorities said.
Kearney is due back in court in Chicago Aug. 13.

The Economic Crisis and Your Kids
How do you explain to your kids that you just can't afford what they want?
Tread carefully. Although we want to educate our children about what's happening right now, we certainly don't want to scare them. To find out how to talk to our kids about what's happening in our world, momlogic assembled a panel of financial industry moms. They came up with some pretty interesting and insightful ways to talk to your kids about why we all need to tighten the belt right now -- and why that trip to Toys R' Us will just have to wait. Remember, just like that sex talk you've been putting off -- this is something you want your kids to learn about from you, not the television.
1. Watch "Kit Kittridge: An American Girl" with your kids. The film takes place in the Depression -- and can help kids better understand the difficult time we are in right now.
2. Stress the importance of savings. If your kids are begging you for a new toy, start saving for it together. They'll get a kick out of seeing those coins add up to dollars.
3. Donate to charity. Go through old toys and closets together. Explain to your kids why it's so important to give to those who are in need.
4. Monitor television watching. The evening news is filled with some pretty scary gloom and doom stories. We want our kids to be informed, not scared to death.
5. Be honest. If you need to put in more hours, as many of us do, explain that it's important for you to get that extra work done but you will still make it home as soon as you can.
I have five childern, ages 18 - 10, one in college the rest in Catholic schools.
We add stuff for them, like groceries, tuition, etc.
Then I sometimes give them the choice, we can either eat home or spend $25 on Mc, but that $20 can go to pay for cable TV or something like that.
I think it makes them consider what is important, at least for a while.
Nice post and tweet
I have a very simple way of handling this question. I say, "No. We can't afford."
Why is poverty or scarcity something we should protect our children from? Billions of people grow up with so little so no one is doing their kid harm if they tell them they can't have another toy or an extra outting to Chuck E. Cheese.
The privilege of being middle class is the ability to sometimes (not always) say "yes".
I teach a youth group of about 20 children every friday night, I was really looking for a way to talk with them about the crisis, how it affects them, the current presidential election, the economic crisis, fuel crisis in our region I feel that it is important to give children a chance to know learn and to speak about the problems and to discuss way to correct them but i would like to know how to do this from a childs point of view can anybody give some suggestions?
And on the way home from watching the American Girl movie, you can stop by a store and buy some of the astronomically priced merchandise for your salivating youngster!
This is why we are in this perdicament….no one wants to be honest. Suger coat it, suger coat it, bulls**t! Stop buying crap, tell your kids they don't need it. Just the other day I was taking my dog and my two youngest to hike in our county park. To get there you have to drive through the ghetto. My son pointed out some young girls, about 9 yrs old in age, who had taken an old plastic shopping bag and it looked like thy filled it with other bags, AND THEY MADE THEIR ON TEATHER-BALL!!!!! I turned to my son and said," you see what happens when you don't have, you get creative." (I have just chucked the xbox, the ipod - so I, up until then had heard a lot of, there's nothing to do, I'm bored!!)
Be honest. There is little we really need, and you moms should know that. Aside from our kids and having them, no matter how irritating they are, safely resting their heads, under our roof…..what else is there? Maybe some moms need to get their priorities straight before they can set their kids straight. It can be done, but it may just be painful. Oh, and don't ever be afraid to tell your kids NO. (and you don't even need a reason, just No - and if they get all crazy, just channel Whitney Housten and tell them "Kiss my *ss!") We have lost what our quest is. It's not to have our kids be the best dressed,or the most popular in high school, but rather decent, functioning, proper and kind, adult, human beings…..and we forgot that somewhere along the line.
If you have been parenting correctly from the start, there is no need to suagrcoat things from your children. I tell my children that I will always purchase what they NEED, wants are just that….wants. If you really want it, then we have to come up with a way to earn it.
From a teen's point of view, parents should be open with their children and teen about the recession and how it is affecting them and their lifestyle. A lot of teens aren't aware of how it is affecting them and would be much more understanding about cutting back if they were kept in the loop. I write for a parenting blog called Radical Parenting where teens write about issues from our perspective. Another intern wrote about how the recession is affecting teens, here's the link: http://www.radicalparenting.com/2009/08/08/how-the-recession-is-affecting-teens-teen-article/.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies placed first baseman Ryan Howard on the 15-day disabled list Saturday due to left knee inflammation.
Howard originally was in Saturday's starting lineup but was a late scratch. The three-time All-Star has struggled while playing through the knee injury, batting .266 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs this season.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Howard would have an MRI on Sunday or Monday.
"It got to the point where it's time for him to get off of it, the discomfort is too great," Amaro said. "This is a big blow to us."
The Phillies called up Darin Ruf from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Howard's place. Ruf batted .266 with seven homers and 46 RBIs at Lehigh Valley. He had two homers and nine RBIs in 57 at-bats for the Phillies last season.

Questions? Contact Us
Brain tumors and brain tumor treatment can cause some patients to experience cognitive side effects — changes in thinking, emotions and behavior. The unique Neuro-Oncology Cognitive Clinic at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin helps patients guard cognitive function and manage any changes that occur.
This innovative clinic is directed by David Sabsevitz, PhD, Medical College of Wisconsin neuropsychologist. Dr. Sabsevitz works with patients throughout their treatment to detect any cognitive changes that occur and help them optimize their cognitive function. He also provides valuable input to care team physicians on patient progress and neurological performance. The goal of the Neuro-Oncology Cognitive Clinic is to help patients maintain their quality of life throughout their illness and treatment.
Cognitive side effects vary widely among brain tumor patients. Specific symptoms depend on the size and location of the patient's tumor. In addition, various radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatments can have different effects on the brain. Many patients have already experienced cognitive changes by the time of diagnosis.
Patients in the Neuro-Oncology Cognitive Clinic are evaluated initially to establish a baseline for comparison. Ideally, the initial evaluation takes place before any medical or surgical treatment. Patients undergo additional evaluations periodically throughout the course of their care.
Tests developed by Dr. Sabsevitz are sensitive to subtle changes in cognitive function, and they are often able to detect disease progression before it is picked up on radiological scans.
Some patients experience no cognitive changes at all during their treatment. Others actually experience improvements in cognition through the course of care, as treatments decrease the brain's tumor burden.
When changes in cognitive function do occur, the Neuro-Oncology Cognitive Clinic can provide several interventions to help patients manage symptoms and side effects. Patients and their family members receive education and supportive counseling on dealing with changes. Various therapies can help patients optimize their abilities, mitigate memory problems and manage emotional changes. As needed, patients are referred to counseling psychologists and therapists.

One More Week To Tell Congress To Say No to Fast Track TPP
By Staff, www.popularresistance.org
December 6th, 2013
TPP negotiators are meeting in Singapore from December 7 to 9 to attempt to complete the text of the TPP agreement. As the year ends, pressure is growing to both finish the TPP and to pass Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority in Congress. If the President is given Fast Track, then he can sign the TPP and Congress will have a limited time to read the agreement before they are required to vote up or down on it. Fast Track has been used historically to pass trade agreements that would not survive under Congressional scrutiny.
Congress only has one more week in session this year, the week of December 9. So far our pressure to stop the TPP has been working. Close to 200 members of Congress have expressed opposition to Fast Track. We must keep the pressure on (because you know that the corporate lobbyists are) to send Congress home with a clear message that they must not give up their responsibility under the Constitution to oversee commerce and they must go through the process of understanding the full implications of the TPP before they vote on it. That means that they must oppose Fast Track.
Our focus for the final week is on the House of Representatives, especially the members of the Ways and Means Committee which is responsible for creating the Fast Track legislation.
Please take time this week to contact your member of Congress. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Find your member's website: You can search for your member at House.gov even if you don't know who your member is.
2. Find your member's phone number and email: You will find his or her contact information on their website. You can choose to call the DC office or use the email contact form on the website.
3. Make the call or send the email. Keep it short and focused. Here is a sample script:
"Hello, my name is _________________ and I live in __________________. I am calling (writing) to ask you to oppose giving the President Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority for the Trans-Pacific Partnership."
You can stop there or you can give a reason why you oppose the TPP. Perhaps you are concerned about food safety, the price of medications, the environment, internet freedom, worker rights or the loss of sovereignty.
If your member is on the Ways and Means Committee, please ask them to prevent Fast Track legislation from leaving the committee.
Here is a list of the committee members:

Sam Johnson, TX

Paul Ryan, WI

Keyword(s):Aural Analysis , Visual Representation
The author analyses experiments in pop music from the listener's point of view. Voorvelt first attempts to define experimentalism in pop music and position it against (or seek overlaps with) experimental art music of the time. His choice of British Post-punk music was made partially due to his view that, unlike experimental pop music of the late 1960s, this phenomenon and most of its musicians have been under-documented, at least as far as analytical and historical treatments were concerned. After describing a parametric methodology for analysis, the author then applies it to each of his chosen six works, concluding this section of the dissertation with comparative analyses.
Table of contents:
Defining Experimental Pop
Explaining Experimentalism in Pop
British Post-punk Experimentalism
Analysing Experimental Pop Music
Analyses (Art Bears: 'First Things First'; This Heat: 'Horizontal Hold'; B. C. Gilbert and G. Lewis: 'Ampnoise'; John Greaves and Peter Blegvad: 'Like a Baby'; Brian Eno: 'Lantern Marsh'; The Raincoats: 'Family Treet')

Statement By Mr Hussein Al-Uzri, Chairman Of TBI, Following Explosions
"This attack on our headquarters in Baghdad, which has tragically cost the lives of five guards and wounded six others, was an act of cowardice by malevolent forces who wish to undermine the progress that Iraq is steadily making towards stability, peace and economic prosperity for all its people.
"The Bank offers its deepest sympathy, and its support, to the victims of this atrocity, and to their families.
"However, this cowardly attack was a failure. The Trade Bank of Iraq, and Iraq itself, are undeterred.
"The work of building Iraq's economic strength – which the Trade Bank of Iraq is doing so much, and very successfully, to support, and in which we are making significant progress year by year – goes on uninterrupted, as does the work of the Bank, which will be open for business as usual tomorrow."

It'd be nice to see him with Charlie next season though. Even though she's a potential cray cray and then I'll be just pissed that Nate gets all those crazy bitches as partners.
Yeah that could workout really well if she ends up not trying to harm anyone and it turns out she tries to harm herself and everyone comes to her aid or something. They can have her dealing with her issues next season and have Nate be their to support her. We would have a guest star who wasn't evil for once.
Charlie's scenes reminded me a little bit of season one Gossip Girl. Her first step of exploration into the UES reminded me of the Dan/Jenny contrast earlier on, and that scene in which she looks around the bathroom, Serena's bedroom made me fall right back in love with this world.
I think if the writers can do this right, Charlie could be a good asset to the show.

question for my followers:
When jeanine says to sherlock 'If only you weren't..' did ye think she meant in love with john or just how sherlock is as a person because im leaning towards the latter but i keep seeing everyone think its the first thing.
yes we can talk about what the writers did wrong this series but maybe we could focus a bit more on how much they seem to have listened to us, listened to what we wanted and gave us as much as they could. How many writers would do that.

|The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company
Waldbaum's is a supermarket chain with stores on Long Island, and in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. It began in 1904 as a shop run by Sam and Wolf Waldbaum in Brooklyn. Their nephew, Izzy, immigrated to America and joined the business. Izzy worked for his uncles until they retired, taking over one grocery. Izzy Waldbaum married Julia Leffel; they had three children. When Izzy died at age 55, his son Ira took over the existing six stores. Ira ran Waldbaum's until the 1986 sale to A&P. His mother Julia became the corporate spokesperson, touring stores, attending grand openings, and appearing on most Waldbaum's-branded products. Julia also published Waldbaum's recipe books and appeared in print ads into her senior years.
In the late 1970s, Waldbaum's purchased Foodmart, Inc., a New England supermarket chain, enabling it to expand into southern New England. These stores were named Waldbaum's Foodmart; the company peaked at over 160 stores. It was acquired by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) in 1986. A&P mismanaged Waldbaum's, investing little in these stores, resulting in the closing or sale of many Foodmart stores in the New England division. A&P then converted the remaining Waldbaum's Foodmart store into the Super Foodmart banner, and, later, A&P Super Foodmart (A&P's other New England division). The diminished, sixty-three Waldbaum's stores exist only in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and on Long Island. Many Waldbaum's are former A&P stores.
Waldbaum's operates full-service traditional supermarkets with varying footprints and store models. All Waldbaum's feature fresh meats and produce. Sixty-two stores have bakeries and thirty-six offer pharmacy service. As with other A&P-branded stores, Waldbaum's offers in-house products under the America's Choice, Master Choice, Savings Plus, Simply Kids, MORE, Hartford Reserve, and Health Pride names.
On December 13, 2005, Waldbaum's began offering online shopping.[1]
On August 13, 2010, A&P (NYSE: GAPTQ) announced that it would close twenty-five stores as the parent of Waldbaum's began the implementation and execution phase of its comprehensive turnaround; these stores closed in October (year?), including stores in Centereach and Levittown, Long Island. In February 2011, A&P announced thirty-two additional store closings, including three Long Island Waldbaum's: Farmingdale, Smithtown, and Valley Stream on April 15, 2011. In January 2012, A&P announced half a dozen additional closings on Long Island. The grocery chain says six stores will close in Commack, West Babylon, East Islip, Lake Ronkonkoma, Huntington Station and Rockville Centre. The closures happened in March 2012, as Waldbaum's parent company emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Waldbaum's was referenced in the CBS television shows The King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Happily Divorced.

Bridgette and Mark's Brooklyn Deck
Small, Cool Outdoors Entry #36
Name: Bridgette S.
Location: Brooklyn, New York
Size: 200 square feet
Your Favorite Thing About Your Outdoor Space: It's our little escape from the hustle of city life. It's a relaxing place to spend time after work, pick fresh vegetables and watch the sunset.
Biggest Design Challenge With This Space: Our deck gets a lot of sunlight so it takes a lot of work to keep everything properly watered and we don't have access to a hose.
Tips for Creating a Great Small Outdoor Space: Take advantage of the space you have and fill it with things that make you happy!
Thanks, Bridgette, and good luck!

Don't forget to vote! Finalists will be announced Monday, August 29th.
The entry voted the favorite by our readers gets a brand new PUBLIC bike!

Love it!
Totally beautiful.
I love the balance that is evident as the plants are situated just perfectly around the space. Also, the use of flowering and non-flowering plants adds to the already peaceful atmosphere! Just beautiful!
Love all the plants, but would like to see more color. Well done.
Incredibly lush! I love the wood floor!
This is what I envision for my backyard! It is lovely. <3
this is very nice but not really "small"
yup. this gets my vote
I vote for this one.
They are all great, but MUST vote for this one as I've done this - lots of plants on the deck & no hose. It's hard work & time consuming.
Kudos on the orange tree. I presume you take it in during cold weather?
It's beautiful...great job!
i voted for this one
This is BEAUTIFUL, this is somewhere you can just relax and enjoy the view.
The point of this contest seems to be about an eye for design and genuinely voting for the quality of the 'Small, cool outdoor space'. I understand its the number of votes that count in the end, but feel it takes away from the spirit of the contest to use a website designated to just get votes. Thanks.
Vanessa I couldn't agree with you more. I think it is pretty lame when you have to go to a website that is only for exchanging votes. What does that say about the design and the people themselves. I don't feel they are in it for the art/creativity but only to WIN...How sad...It is ok when you go to your friends and family and ask for votes because we all support each other but it says a lot about someone when you go to complete strangers, so you can win at any cost...
I do hope in the future that re nest has rules against using websites that are designated only to get someone votes.
I am in hopes that more people will have a negative comment about this...

Poll: Obama Pulls Away in Ohio, Puts Florida Back in Play
Three days to go!
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Just a little "unbalanced."
At least Giuliani doesn't think he's racist.
And fellow moviegoers didn't dare laugh.
Blame the "ego."
Obama couldn't sink to Bush's low of politicizing 9/11 if he tried.
There were many curse words.
Kind of undermines the whole "bringing pizzas to the firemen" thing, no?
No euphemisms!
Who's got the moves?
"Is your refrigerator running?"
He's in a new commercial for the nuclear power plant Indian Point, for one.
Maybe "all" isn't the right word to use here.
Almost forgot about her!
Really? He's had three whole years to think about it!
He says that's how he got elected mayor.
That is all.
So they called Rudy Giuliani.

Ronald Reagan once quipped — not altogether in jest — that the nine most frightening words in the English language were, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." To these nine might be added 11 words spoken by President Barack Obama in his March 30 news conference announcing the terms under which the federal government would now be effectively running General Motors and Chrysler: "Starting today, the United States government will stand behind your warranty."
Boy, if there were ever a reassuring statement, Obama's from last week would be right on the money — a statement signifying that an organization which has run up debt faster and to greater levels than any government in peacetime, and which is utterly unable and unwilling to balance its books, would be standing behind the warranty on my Dodge Magnum.
Such a statement by a president of the United States might be considered comical, were it not for the gravely serious ramifications of what Obama is doing. The plan to insert the federal government into the board rooms and repair shops of two of America's Big Three automakers, while not necessarily the final nail in the coffin holding what used to be the world's greatest reservoir of entrepreneurship and individual freedom, is darn close to it.
While Obama can hardly be blamed for initiating the process that has dramatically undermined America's position as the world's most inventive and entrepreneurial nation, he appears committed to finishing the process that began in earnest in the 1970s. Simply consider for a moment where his most recent edicts leave these latest victim-beneficiaries of government largess. GM's CEO was forced out not by shareholders or by the corporation's board of directors, but by the president's so-called "auto task force," a multi-member group of current and former government officials, not one of whom is elected by the American people or by GM shareholders.
And poor Chrysler. This venerable company formerly headed by Lee Iacocca, and whose muscle cars once ruled America's freeways and racetracks, has been placed in the unenviable position of negotiating with Italian carmaker Fiat under an Obama-imposed deadline of 30 days or face bankruptcy. In those negotiations, who would you rather be — Chrysler or Fiat?
The president and his crack team of automobile bureaucrats mean to tell America's automakers how, when and in what quantities to produce the cars they want — the government, that is; not the consumer. Unfortunately, many Americans today are too young to recall the last time Washington decided to dabble directly in the automobile manufacturing business, beginning in the mid-1970s and continuing into the '80s.
For those of us who lived through Detroit's "lost years" (and Japan's golden ones), who can forget the models rolling off America's automobile assembly lines, dictated by government crash-test standards and mileage requirements, and laden with environmental paraphernalia so complicated only a computer or a rocket scientist could repair a malfunction. This era produced some of the ugliest, most underpowered and dangerous cars ever to roll off those assembly lines.
The current headlong rush by Washington to stifle entrepreneurship is not only forward-looking, it is historic as well. Consider the venerable incandescent light bulb — the universal caricature of a "good idea." This remarkably simple and dependable device, patented in 1879 by America's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison, has lit countless homes, businesses and, yes, even government buildings during its 130-year life.
Yet, despite the fact that it continues to this day to perform precisely the task it was designed to carry out — providing instant illumination dependably, cheaply and without damage to the surrounding environment — the incandescent light bulb is being deliberately rendered extinct. Its replacement? The compact fluorescent bulb — a more expensive product, one that contains a toxic substance (mercury), and which performs demonstrably less well than the bulb it is replacing. Such "progress" we can do without.
In this new age of government-run businesses, in which bureaucrats tell us what cars we can have, what light bulbs we can use and which toilets we can flush, it is likely that Encyclopedia Britannica's future editions of the world's "great inventions" will not only be considerably shortened, but contain far fewer American entries.

Your right that the US has no business propping up the car companies. Please, for your own sake, lay off the CFB's…your starting to sound like a GOP techno-phobe. It's past time we started thinking about saving energy in this country. If you wont do it for the envirement then do it for your own wallet.

I haven't seen any (anecdotal) evidence that CFLs are worse than incandescent bulbs. Ours have lasted many times longer than the bulbs they replace and use significantly less energy. I'm waiting for LED bulbs though, that will certainly be the future.

Bob, if the cars were worth a damn, we wouldn't need warranty quarentees! As for the technology, why don't you go back to washing your clothes by beating them on a rock?
"This era produced some of the ugliest, most underpowered and dangerous cars ever to roll off those assembly lines." And whose fault is that? The American consumer? Oh wait, they are buying something else, if they are buying at all. Chrysler has already been bailed out, remember? How many times is enough? What should we do with their out of touch managemnt? Or is what's left of your selective memory failing? Look at Consumer Reports latest list of the worst ten performing vehicles…most are American (Jeep has 3).
Maybe instead of putting design and performance standards on the cars,their boards should put performance and related salaries on their executives.

The manipulation of the auto industry has only begun. SUVs and pickups are once again the largest selling segment of the industry, while hybrids are sitting on the car lots. The acclaimed Prius which six months ago had a waiting list now is 80 days overstocked. Do you suppose that our auto companies will be able to build on the one segmeng of the industry where they have the edge?
Certainly not. Obama has alresdy answered that question. And what happens when people don't buy these new government cars? The government has a whole bevy of taxing solutions which can modify the bad behavior of the auto market. they'll start with raising gas tax to punishing levels. If that's not enough, Roll out a carbon tax based on MPG. There is no end to tax solutions for any behavior this adim. doesn't like.

Oh? Government regulations didn't affect car designs in the eighties?
The 1980 Corvette California begs to differ. But it should be noted that during the 80's (well, 1979) is when Chrysler took their loan from the government, got their legs back under them (for a few years) and paid the loan back (by 1983).
So there is some truth to both claims, that government regulation (specifically by California, but we didn't know how properly apply environmental technologies at the time) ruined some American designs, but also that there were some positive results from loaning US automakers money.

If the manufacturers would focus on making about 6 noteworthy cars with minimal engineered obsolescence instead of 45 different halfway engineered and assembled 'market research' derived straw grasps they would probably be in far better shape. Bells and whistles do not disguise poor body panel alignment. The bailout money went to secure the interests of the UAW. Lobbying prowess should never be underestimated, they just exemplified this by openly robbing the American taxpayer. How the lobbying practice is allowed to continue blows my mind. ¼ of the US population would have been standing on the Whitehouse lawn with torches in 1910, but no one seems to care anymore as long as their stomach is full and their TV still works.

There is a difference between govt. regulations and takeover. GM and Chrysler are now effectively run by a govt. panel reporting one level from Obama. When you can fire the CEO or insist you allow a takeover by a foreign co. You've gone way past a few regulations.
April 8th, 2009
12:58 pm
Touche' booger.
I didn't say that what our government was doing is the right thing, I said loaning a company government money doesn't have to be a bad idea.
It wouldn't have mattered in 1910 if they had shown up on the white house lawn with torches, look up the "bonus army."

My sister has a Chrysler and the check engine light stays on. It came on 6 mos after she bought this Jeep piece of (**&^!!. Its been on for months. I told her not to buy that crap and buy a Honda, now she regrets it. Now the front bearing are bad, the car has 50K miles on it.
Thanks UAW…………

I specifically chose a date prior to 1913 for a reason. Horrible story about the Bonus Army though, I wonder why they never deemed that important enough to teach it to us in school. Just more negative impact from wars. The poor always die, the rich always seem to better themselves.

What is Mr. Barr's counter-proposal? He, and many other commentators, keep skipping over the fact that GM's "firing" was a condition for the company to receive public bailout money. GM didn't HAVE to fire its CEO… but if they come whining to us for taxpayer-funded bailouts, why SHOULDN'T we impose conditions?
The days of writing blank checks to corporations, simply because their lobbyists are "good buddies," should be over and done with.

April 8th, 2009

If you don't want to call it "firing" then we could call it "bribery" which is exactly what you have described.
Real problem is that now Obama has mastered running an auto company, He has given Geitner the authority to fire the Mgt. of any bank he feels may not be performing well. Nationalization under the guise of being helpful.

Jake: My Honda's check engine light came on a few months ago, I bought it used 18 months ago with 33,000 miles. I was fed up with the American cars, we had given each of the big three our hard earned money to give each a chance. They trained us well, so we have had Toyota and Honda ever since a few years ago, but alas, even they may not turn out to be all we hoped.
With that said, what the government is doing is wrong. We are headed down the wrong road and no one seems able or willing to get us back on the right one.
April 9th, 2009
8:09 am
If the executives at GM were so good at running the company without help, why did they beg for a bailout?
Seems to me they're asking for a favor, on our dime. And we have the right to set conditions on whether or not we bail them out. If they don't like it, they can fail on their own.
April 9th, 2009

The problem is, we're all sitting here behind our computers talking when we should be marching on Washington and refusing to leave and demanding positive reform. What we're doing isn't working…..we can't spend our way out of this mess. This is all according to the plans spelled out in "The True Story Of The Bilderburg Group". Bob, I know you've probably read it. This is our government's way of getting us in line…..

They should have never received a penny of government help in the first place. Just like any government intervention, it only prolongs the agony. If you concentrate on having your hand out, you cannot concentrate on doing your job or improving. Everyday examples are our banks and welfare recipients. Welfare recipients won't get jobs because welfare pays better than most menial labor…But you have to start somewhere to get ahead. Banks quit lending money to anybody under a 900 credit score because they don't need to give credit to get money from obama.
Government hand outs don't fix anything, they only make things worse…You'd think after nearly 100 years of tried and failed socialist experiments, people would look at history and quit trying things that do not work…But oh no! Socialism will work this time! It never has and never will.
The bad news is this type of crap will continue for a while, the good news is it won't last long, because the people will eventually run out of money to pay for failed government experiments.

This is absolutely amazing. When I see your maps I realize how much I have to learn. Great job!
Splendid work!
Just awesome!!!
Thanks :) I have to say it's one of my favourites - and a real watershed in the type of maps I've been doing. I've got a few in the works in this sort of style (but probably won't be able to post any of them for a while).
I can see it in the banner for the gallery show, hope you don't lose your flair for region and battle scale :)
That is just so absolutely gorgeous. I can't think of enough superlatives.
Absolutely stunning! That map is a work of art.
Thanks :) It's certainly the piece that I send round when pitching for work from companies. Seems to be doing well for me so far!
Amazing job.
I really like the general color impression that this map leaves me, all those different shades of green and blue.
