The Great Debate
Republicans talk about inequality. But how serious are they?
President Barack Obama is laying down his marker Tuesday with his State of the Union Address. He told a closed-door meeting of Senate Democrats last week, "I'm not going to spend the next two years on defense. I'm going to play offense."
Time to end special privileges for Cuban immigrants
President Barack Obama has taken initial steps toward overhauling the broken U.S. immigration system and failed Cuba policy. It is also time to bring Washington's Cuban immigration policy in line with other foreign-born people. Cubans enjoy unique immigration privileges that are no longer justifiable.
If the Internet becomes a public utility, you'll pay more. Here's why.
The Federal Communications Commission is in the middle of a high-stakes decision that could raise taxes for close to 90 percent of Americans. The commission is considering whether to reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service and, in doing so, Washington would trigger new taxes and fees at the state and local level.
Prediction: Obama will decide to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016
In 2015, I predict that President Barack Obama will rethink his plan to have all operational U.S. combat forces out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016.
U.S.-Cuba deal: What the two sides get out of it
President Barack Obama has inverted U.S. policy on Cuba. His Wednesday speech adopted the proposals of those who have spent a half-century arguing for a rethinking of Cuba policy. The president recognized Washington's failure to achieve its goal of bringing political and economic openness to Cuba.
Secret meetings with Cuba finally pay off
Presidents frequently conduct sensitive diplomatic dialogues in secret, because the furor of public attention makes it politically impossible to reach the compromises necessary for agreement. These secret talks are often crucial for diplomatic advances — as we learned Wednesday with the stunning revelations about the impending talks between Washington and Havana that have been underway secretly for the past few months. President Barack Obama's far-reading initiatives are reminiscent of the secret talks Henry Kissinger held with Beijing to lay the groundwork for President Richard M. Nixon's historic diplomatic opening to China.
Top 5 political predictions for 2015
1. The Obama boom will finally arrive. Only it will be more like a boomlet.
Americans have been waiting for the boom since they elected President Barack Obama in the teeth of the 2008 financial meltdown. After all, we elected Ronald Reagan during an economic downturn in 1980, and by his second term, the economy had turned around ("Morning in America"). We elected Bill Clinton in an economic downturn in 1992, and by his second term, the economy had come roaring back (the "dot-com boom," now known as the "dot-com bubble"). Now we're deep into Obama's second term. Where's da boom?
Hunting for scapegoats, Obama bagged the wrong guy in Hagel
The timing of Chuck Hagel's resignation as secretary of defense may have been a surprise, but the fact that he was on his way out has been rumored for weeks. The real issue is why he either stepped down or was forced to leave after such a comparatively short time in office.

This essence works for me, and the results are enhanced when I use it with the Facial Treatment Repair C serum. I pat it with my hands onto my face, just a small amount, and I do try and take a break from it for a short while, so I use it every two days. My concern is that my skin will become sensitized to it if I use it too often. I`ve only noticed the unpleasant odor some people here mentioned after 2 months into my first bottle. Probably it reacts to something in the air once it`s been opened a few times and it gets that nasty saliva smell. Yes, it was nasty enough to make me throw away the rest of the bottle. Still, I`m on my third bottle now and I love the results.

I read a lot of reviews before deciding to spend so much money for this item. I have a very oily T-zone and very large pores specially on my forehead so I am on the hunt d=for something to help my pores. I have been using this product for six months now and I do not feel that it did anything special for my face. I am 39 yrs old with no wrinkles yet, I used this twice a day but after six month my pores and oily T-zone is the same. I won't be purchasing again, too expensive for the results I got.

I have been using this essence on and off for 7 years and I like it.
I think it keeps my skin moist.
It doesn't help with acne brown marks though.
However, recently it causes big red bumps on my face. Maybe because my skin is thinner and more sensitive now as I get older. I have stopped using it as it takes a long time for the red bumps to disappear.
The toner does not cause red bumps even though I have been using the toner on and off for 8 years. It appears that my thinner and sensitive skin can't tolerate too much Pitera now.
Edit: I have just realised that Pitera may have contributed to make my skin more sensitive, thinner and make broken capillaries on my face. I'm using more gentle products nowadays.
I wish I never use Pitera.

I have been using SKII Treatement Essense for the past year and have repurchased it twice already. I can't believe I didn't review this earlier. This is a wonderful miracle in a bottle product and worth the hype and the money. It helps restore hydration while helping it heal, soothe, and prevent any signs of aging on my skin. I just feel that this product makes all other products applied thereafter perform 200% times better. I use this as the first thing prior to my toner (some days I skip the toner if i'm too tired) and then moisturizer. I don't use this in the morning beacuse let's face it girls I'm not a hollywood star and do have limited resources but to be honest, this is so potent that you don't need to use it in the morning as at night time your skin is working at its best thus most beneficial to use it at night time. I love this product and will repurchase again.

I have been using SKII Facial Treatment Essence for approximately 3 months. I spent some time overseas and found this was the "holy grail" of asian cosmetics. The SKII line, itself, is quite pricey but I am willing to spend the money to invest in the health and beauty of my skin and body.
The Essence is a liquid placed on the face after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers. The purpose is to loosen the top layer of the skin so serums and moisturizers can penetrate deeper, maximizing their effects. Consider it a "turbo booster" for your regime. I recommend placing a few drops in the palm of your hand and then lightly rubbing your hands together to get them wet. Once wet, pat the liquid on your face. This allows the most product to get on your face while wasting very little (avoid cotton balls!).
Be warned, Essence has a slight sent of sake and for good reason. It is 90% pitera, which is a nutrient packed yeast found in sake. Most of SKII's products use pitera. After about 2 minutes, I apply my serums and moisturizers.
After about 3 months, I am halfway through the large bottle I purchased. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and my scarring has significantly diminished. For the first time in almost 10 years, I am comfortable walking out of my home without makeup. My skin has a nice dewy glow (which I attribute to my overall regiment-but Essence definitely played a part).
Packaging wise, the Essence comes in a pretty glass bottle. This makes it a little cumbersome to pack in my suitcase but it looks great on my bathroom counter. The lettering is simple. My friends that do not know the brand are immediately intrigued.
Price wise, the SKII brand, as a whole is expensive. I use several of their products together and I get many compliments for my fresh face. If you have the funds and want to invest in good skin care, of all of the SKII products, this is the one I would definitely add to my routine.

I've been using this product for almost 9 months and I really love how my skin looks and feels now. It took me a really long and hard road before my skin-face finally makes me happy.
I was using a doctor-recipe skin care series for a year before I used Facial Treatment Essence. I was so satisfy with my skin tone and texture at that time. It took only 3 weeks until my skin is what I think "perfect". I continued using it for a year after. My skin was ceramic-white, no visible pores, no blackheads, and no acne at all. I started to wonder how this doctor-recipe was so magical. I searched on Google and surprised with my searching. My magical skin is a result of a skin care products that contain mercury and hydroquinone. I discontinued of using the products immediately. My skin face started to look dull and feel oily. My acnes are all broke out. I started to find another doctor-recipe skin care which I believe was safer than the one I used before. My skin was getting worse instead. I suffer from this for about 4 months before I decided to give FTE a try.
I buy the trial beginner set which contain Facial Treatment Clear Lotion and this magical water FTE. I didn't feel any improvement in my skin during the first 4 months. My acnes won't calm down. It went crazier every day. I was so desperate. Lots of article said that adjustment period take 2 weeks at most. During the first 2 weeks of using FTE, skin will purge as a form of detoxification. If skin is not getting better after 2 weeks, user should stop using the products and seek assistance. That was what I read. But somehow I kept using the products. My skin is getting better during the 5th months. It started to show a little improvement. The texture, the tone, the radiances of my skin is slowly getting better and better every day until today. Along with any other SKII series, I can say that I am satisfy with my skin. I still had the acne popping out once or twice in a month which is totally normal.
Now I really like the fact that my skin is so soft, supple, and healthy. I still can see the spots from the broke out acne though. I just need to give my skin time to heal itself with the help of SKII products.
For me, healthy skin is a must! Don't get fooled by the instant result of a skin care treatment. And for anyone who think that FTE is not the right products for you only after 2 weeks of trying, I think you need to give your skin some times purify itself from whatever skincare products you used before.
I had and will repurchase the products. It cost around US$130 for the 215 ml/7.2 oz and last for about 5 months for me (I'm a clumsy user. I spilled it out too much, ouch!). It worth the money! The packaging is average. I think Lancome products have better packaging. But it doesn't matter. I like how they design the cap with the silver color. The whole 7.2 oz bottle is too heavy for traveling package though. Overall, this products suit my skin type very well.

I never tried this product as I'd heard mixed reviews of it, and I only use 1 serum at night which keeps my skin very nice, so I never saw the need to try this.
But I received 2 small sample bottles recently and I apply it before my serum at night. Surprisingly, after 2 days, I did notice my skin looking nicer, and a bit brighter and softer! I wouldn't consider it a fantastic product, but it's decent. I will probably buy it again, since I have so little skincare products.
Sometimes I pat it on with my hands, sometimes I smooth it on with a cotton bud. I feel like u'd probably get more benefits by patting it on, but somehow smoothing it on feels nicer. :)
I saw some people wrote it gave them breakouts, but I haven't had any such problems. I've used it for about 10 days already and haven't had a single zit. In fact, it's supposed to have an exfoliating effect and is very light so I don't understand why people would get breakouts from it.

I wasn't sure about this toner initially. A friend recommended this to me. I was put off by the price tag and got my first bottle when I was waiting for my plane at a foreign airport and had some spare cash left in local currency. I just thought why not have a go.
- Hydrates my skin very well
- I quite like the smell, though it smells a bit like alcohol but the product is actually alcohol free
- improves my skin tone
- didn't irritate my skin at all
- skin is calm and refreshed after using
- people commented on improvement in my skin condition
- Very expensive, better get it when there's some discount
- Harrods sometimes do 30% or 10% off
- smell could put some people off

Well so far so good, I cannot believe the amount of dirt has been removed with both the clear lotion and treatment. I'll update soon. (Combo skin - Oily t zone & Dry Cheeks)
Update: No way will I purchase this ever again. Within two days later i broke out and my skin started to get red. Will be discontinuing this product.

I got an email today from a reader who lives in Williamsburg about their special way of decorating for and celebrating the holiday season. She had no idea that pictures I saw 10 years ago of the wreaths, swags, garlands, and lighting at Williamsburg transformed my ideas about how to decorate for the holidays. I do so love the Williamsburg holiday style; I find it a great source of inspiration. To follow is her letter.
I happened upon your blog this morning while researching a bit for my holiday decorating. I found your submission about Magnolias, and I agree they are beautiful and are a part of our holiday decorating every year. I wanted you to know about the town where I live, because maybe one day I think you would truly appreciate a visit at the holidays, specifically at our Grand Illumination. I live in Williamsburg, Virginia and the first weekend in December is always a big event as the Colonial part of town (restored area and living history site) decorates in colonial fashion for the holidays. The fife and drum corps play and folks in costume walk around story telling, interacting, selling cider and ginger cakes etc. Here is a link. I hope you don't find this too off the wall, but it is rare I find others who love to decorate naturally at the holidays, and therefore it is rare that I find folks who truly appreciate Williamsburg at Christmas. Either way, I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and good luck with the holidays! Julie E. Williamsburg, Va
She sent me several pictures of her home in Williamsburg, decorated for the holidays. Has she not done a beautiful job? I especially like the grass spikes that criss cross behind her wreath. The geometric arrangement of fruit I associate with the Williamsburg holiday-this is a beautiful interpretation of that idea.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Julie. Many thanks for taking the time and effort to write. Many more thanks to all of you who have taken the time to write-I truly appreciate it.
Yesterday was my first indoor holiday installation. A client with an event coming up the first week of December wanted the bones of her holiday decor in place before Thanksgiving. This pair of topiaries began with moss mat glued over foam cones. The spiral garlands of reindeer moss, accompanied by a delicate silver wire garland took some time and patience to glue up, but the result is festive and elegant. The formal dining room sideboard fresh decor can be added just before the event. Fresh materials at the holiday look and smell great, but I like adding them at the last minute. Holiday ornament like this-tall, thin, and taking up little space-can be used in lots of different places. Perhaps next year's decor will call for them on a mantel.
The breakfast room has an entirely different feeling than the formal dining room. A garland studded with faux fruit is draped over the Welsh cupboard. We filled her wood trough with lots of the same fruit. This room is ready for the last minute addition of fresh greens, and candles.
This pair of mossed cubes were topped with coulter pine cones, and variegated English boxwood. Pinus coulteri is native to southern California and northern Mexico. It produces the largest cones of any pine. They can grow to a length of 16 inches, and weigh 10 pounds a piece. I thought this pair of sculptures would look appropriate in the library.
The moss mat was applied over dry floral foam, making it easy to glue the heavy cones in an upright position, and insert the springs of boxwood. They have a comfortably masculine look that is appropriate for the room.
We paid lots of holiday oriented attention to the foyer. The moment a guest arrives, what they see first creates a lasting impression. This is why I devote so much attention to the landscape of the driveway. The end of my drive is the foyer of my garden. I come home every day, and I want what I see first when I get there to be beautiful and inviting. Decorating the foyer mirror and sconces means there is plenty of room on the table for family pictures, a holiday hostess gift, or a tray of champagne. The oval magnolia wreath we made by gluing individual leaves over a foam form; the size and shape is friendly to the mirror. A small suction cup provides a hook; the wreath weighs very little. The sconces have glass ornament, silvery picks, silver fabric leaves, and magnolia wired to them.
We dressed the staircase in a long needled faux pine garland. We added glass holiday ornaments, glittered wire flower ornaments, and silvery pine picks for a soft and dressy look. The result is beautiful and elegant. The garland is affixed to the outside of the railing with black zip ties-this is friendly to the wood finish on the railing. In between each length of garland-a pine pick of the same style. This helps make a graceful transition from one garland swag to the next. Most faux garlands are 6 feet long-which may or may not work with the length of your staircase. The added picks helps to make the garland fit the space.
The living room fireplace mantel is short, with little depth. We attached overlapping bunches of preserved and whitewashed eucalyptus to a bamboo pole, cut to a length just shy of the width of this mantle. We dressed that eucalyptus with silver fir greens, sparkly picks, and just a pair of bleached cones. Those cones address in a subtle way the color of the brass fireplace fender.
The result is mindful of the elaborate carving on the mantel, and formal presentation of the fireplace. Not every mantel asks for holiday garland that goes to the floor. We will add a fresh and decorated wreath to the space above the fireplace, just before the event. That wreath will be concolor and noble fir; both of these greens keep indoors over the course of the holiday.
The fresh fir garland over the front door will stay fresh, given that the air temperature is cold. The glass ornaments have had their caps glued on, to keep moisture out. Not seen in this picture, a massive second story overhang supported by columns that will protect the glass from too much exposure to the weather. The pots at the front door-this we will do next week. This holiday project is well underway.
I had a comment some days ago from a reader named Carol. She wondered if I could talk about some ideas for adding some glamorous bits to winter containers. Ilex verticillata, or Michigan holly, is my first choice for a glamorous addition to a winter container or garland. That said, I find the berries on the holly will wither and fall like crazy, unless they are treated with Vaporguard. Vaporguard is an antidessicant, much stronger and more effective than Wiltpruf. I have some first hand experience with this. Holly we sprayed with vaporguard was effective on those berries through February of last year.
Without an antidessicant spray, holly berries will drop, and drop early. These orange holly berries are new to me; we sprayed them upon delivery. Paired with red bud pussy willow, there is a lot going on here visually. The color is beautiful. If you live in Michigan, you know that our winter color palette is about grey, more grey, and a dry brown. This color is juicy, and saturated. Glamorous. Crabapples can fruit heavily, but even the "fruit persistent" varieites will drop, or be raided by birds early in the winter. I would recommend seeking a little glam from other sources.
Rob collects materials, and takes them outside to look at them. He may revise his choices 5 times, before he commits to anything. The big idea here-hold all of your materials in your arms, and decide if you are crazy about what you see. If a combination seems to fall flat, keep looking.
Rob finally decided on the following-the orange berries and bleached leaves contrast dramatically. Breathtaking, this. The tall bleached sticks strongly contrast in form with the grey branched hackberry stems. The combination of colors and forms here is truly beautiful.
This combination of materials lit from within by a string of garland lights-garden evening wear. Garland lights? We stock strands of lights that have 300 bulbs set in a 17 foot length. This makes for lots of fire power, and not so much cord. This is my light string of choice for winter containers. For the holiday or winter season, turn up the heat. Make a plan to light up the night. It may be your most glamorous gesture comes at night. I encourage all of my clients to light their winter pots, and keep the lights on all winter. Why not? That light is cheery, hopeful- dramatic.
I am having a milkweed seed pod year-that grey and honey brown coloration is beautiful; the shapes of the pods on the stems-even more beautiful. Were I to glam up these dry stems, I might choose platinum branches. These are birch branches, sprayed a subtle silvery grey. These branches can add a little sparkle to a milkweed winter arrangement.
Faux red berries-every gardener hates them. Until they take them outdoors. Nested into a centerpiece of branches, they are jewel-like. No bird will make off with them. No winter storm will destroy them. Make no mistake-faux berry stems look their age at the end of the winter season. They age, as the winter goes on. This aging is a good look. They look so much more natural, in that dulled-down state. But over the holidays to come, they sparkle. Bright red at the holiday-everyone notices.
These faux white berries are spaced sparsely on the branches-they have a natural look. From a distance, they are entirely believable. Each stem is individually wired. Move them around. To insert a branched faux stem into an arrangement without putting your hand to arranging each arm is what makes them look fake, and out of place. Arrange those faux stems.
These white berry stems make no effort to copy any real berry stems-but I still like them. They look great in contemporary arrangements. They add scale to a more sparse berry stem. Working several stems together that are the same color can be very effective. Effective? Any expression that brings a smile to your face, or warms your heart-effective. Winter sustenance-decide how you plan to represent this.
Faux berry stems with sparkling crystal bits can add considerable glamour to you winter arrangements. The degree to which you want to dress up-this is up to you. If what the garden leaves behind is enough, there are materials. If materials suitable for a cocktail party is enough-there are other materials. If a floor length sequinned gown is your idea of celebrating the holiday and winter, there are materials out there. The materials are out there, for you to choose. Choose.

U.S. Navy Names Research Vessel to Honor Sally Ride
U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced the nation's newest research vessel will be named R/V Sally Ride, in honor of the former UC San Diego faculty member who was the first American female astronaut and the youngest American to fly in space. The ship is owned by the U.S. Navy, will be operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, and will have its home port at the Scripps Nimitz Marine Facility in Point Loma on San Diego Bay. "Sally Ride's career was one of firsts and will inspire generations to come," said Mabus. "I named R/V Sally Ride to honor a great researcher, but also to encourage generations of students to continue exploring, discovering, and reaching for the stars." Dr. Ride was selected for NASA's astronaut corps in 1978 and became the first American woman in space aboard Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983. In 1989, she joined the faculty of UC San Diego as professor of physics and was director of the university's California Space Institute. She died in July 2012 at the age of 61. "Scripps has a century-long history of seagoing excellence that is vital to the well-being of our planet and its pressing environmental challenges, and we appreciate the confidence the U.S. Navy has in UC San Diego with stewardship of its newest, state-of-the-art vessel for global ocean exploration," said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K.

Amici miei (My Friends) Videos & Photos
Movie Info
The famed Italian film director Pietro Germi (his sharply observant and satirical films include The Immoralist, and Divorce Italian Style) began work on this comedy, but died before he could do more than write the screenplay. However, he lived long enough to choose Mario Monicelli as his successor. In the story, four friends keep their friendship alive and their Tuscan town lively by means of an endless series of practical jokes and pranks of various sorts. Perozzi (Philippe Noiret) works on the night desk of a newspaper, reporting on crime. Mascetti (Ugo Tognazzi), an aristocrat, has seen better days. They are joined in mischief by Melandri (Gastone Moschin) and Necci (Duilio DelPrete), an architect and a cafe-owner by profession respectively. When the town doctor (Adolfo Celi) manages to outwit the collective efforts of the four, he is soon invited to join their little club. The rhythms of life in a cheerful provincial town are effectively unveiled in this zany and affectionate film. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi … More

Blue Mountain Lake Has New York's Best Tasting Water for 2015
Each year at the Great New York State Fair, there is a competition held to name the best tasting water in the state. The winner for 2015 is the Adirondack hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake.

Just Jen's favorite man has just reached a court settlement in California for stealing. What exactly did he swindle?
It appears the bottle water recall that effected Wegman's shoppers now effects shoppers at Tops locations across Central New York, and even 7/11 locations.
Places all over the country have these unofficial 'Float Downs.' If something like that started in Utica would you participate?
Yesterday I decided to load up my car with gallon jugs to embark on a journey to Frankfort Memorial Park, home to free flowing naturally great tasting spring water!
I did a story last year on a town that often experienced drought conditions and figured out a way of grabbing water out of thin air. This town in Dripping Springs, Texas also finds the need to stockpile water as droughts are a big problem. The towns mayor, Richard Heinichen says the solution is fairly simple.
As I was emptying the try full of water from my dehumidifier downstairs I thought, "Pulling water out of thin air...is it possible to make clean drinking water out of this?" The answer is yes. The billboard you see above produces about 26 gallons of water a day from nothing more than humidity, a basic filtration system and a little gravitational ingenuity. Wow!
The Great New York State Fair held its annual Best Tasting Water in New York State competition yesterday and ten municipalities competed for the title of best water in the Empire State.
Last year's champion, Albany, was dethroned by a downstate city.
It looks like this giant thing was made with yards and yards of black tarp and simple rain water and it definitely puts me in a- warmer- state of mind.

BILL BARROW Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — The leading candidates in Georgia's crowded Republican Senate primary are all claiming the pro-business mantle as they battle each other and chase conservative voters.
One of the front-runners, Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah, pitches his U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsement as proof of his commitment to the private sector, despite two decades on Capitol Hill. But another contender, wealthy businessman David Perdue, hangs his entire campaign on the argument that voters should elect a former corporate CEO instead of politicians like Kingston, former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel or two other congressmen: Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey.
Handel tells her own private sector story, anchored by a brief stint running a local chamber of commerce in Georgia's largest county. Gingrey, a six-term congressman, and Broun, who was elected in 2007, tout their work running private physician practices at various points in their careers.
It's a key dynamic in one of the country's most closely watched and fiercely fought election-year contests, which will help decide which party controls the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama's tenure in the White House.
Next Tuesday's seven-candidate GOP primary is certain send the top two vote finishers to a July 22 runoff, and the eventual nominee will almost certainly face Democratic favorite Michelle Nunn in November. A victory for Nunn, the daughter of former longtime Sen. Sam Nunn, would hand Democrats a once-unlikely pickup of retiring Republican Saxby Chambliss' seat and dent GOP hopes of reaching the national six-seat gain needed for a majority.
But angling for the business mantle comes with risks in a race where runoff spots could come down to a few thousand votes.
Many verbal attacks are leveled at Perdue, who has spent at least $2.1 million of his own fortune on the primary. He drew criticism this week for telling a Georgia newspaper that solving the nation's budget woes would take spending cuts and revenue increases. That sounded to some like "raising taxes."
"I was never able to turn around a company just by cutting spending," he explained to The Macon Telegraph, adding that "there's five people in the Senate" — those who came out of business — "who understand what I just said."
Handel quickly called Perdue a liberal — and she had already repeatedly mocked him as a "millionaire elitist" after he suggested she wasn't qualified without having a college degree. Broun said Perdue was "so moderate he makes Saxby Chambliss look like the head of the tea party."
The flap prompted FreedomWorks, a national conservative group that had previously not endorsed in the Georgia race, to urge voters to nominate anyone but Perdue.
Kingston also accuses Perdue of overselling his business experience. "If someone's business record is so good and so complete, perhaps they're concerned about some of the shady business dealings and some of the layoffs and some of the golden parachutes," Kingston said at a recent debate.
He was referring to Pillowtex, a North Carolina textile firm that Perdue took over in 2002 after the company had recently emerged from bankruptcy. Perdue stayed eight months, and the firm closed three months after he left, with some 7,650 people losing their jobs across the country.
When questioned, Perdue cites unmanageable pension liabilities as the reason he couldn't rescue the firm, and he says he's been willing to take risks in business. But on the campaign trial, he usually leaves out any Pillowtex reference, instead focusing most heavily on his more successful tenures at Reebok and Dollar General.
Kingston, meanwhile, has had to defend his Chamber endorsement, even from rivals who had sought the political titan's seal of approval. Broun says the Chamber backing proves Kingston would be a rubber stamp for "the establishment."
Kingston called that "sour grapes" from a rival who could use the $920,000-plus in advertising and campaign support the Chamber has steered to help him.
The Chamber's involvement is part of the organization's push to influence Republican primaries and stifle the influence of tea party groups and similarly aligned organizations that helped elect conservative senators like Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah. Those senators led the charge against raising the nation's debt ceiling last fall, a position at odds with the Chamber.
The group endorsed Kingston despite the fact that he and his House Republican colleagues — including Broun and Gingrey — followed Cruz's and Lee's lead on the debt limit. Kingston and his Georgia colleagues also oppose an immigration overhaul that the Chamber supports.

Apr 27, 2011 - 10:24 pm
Kim - There's nothing easy about a cancer diagnosis. I'm sure not knowing where the primary is doesn't help at all. Not that I haven't had my moments of fear and misgiving, but I took my diagnosis and decided that if I didn't know whether I had a year or 20 years remaining, I was going to try to make the most of what I DO have. I left a very stressful life behind and pursued my dream...an opportunity to spend more time doing what I wanted with my family. Don't get me wrong - I still wonder when I'll have the next round of bad news and undergo yet another surgery, but I had 4 years of some pretty good times between my initial diagnosis and the news of my liver mets. Hang in there and have faith in God.

Quarter Life Personal Finance: 5 Tips To Manage Your Money In The Midst Of Chaos
If you recently graduated from college then you've been hit with the task of managing your own finances. You may now have a job with a decent paycheck and along with that comes bills, unplanned expenses and learning to balance your checking account. During this time you may also be experiencing some confusion, doubt and you can't shake the feeling that nothing is wrong, but something just doesn't feel quite right. Welcome to your Quarter Life Crisis.

So how does a Quarter Lifer get through this extremely confusing period of life without letting … [Read more...]
How a Car Loan Can Save You Money
Borrowing money for a car is something pretty much everyone does. Mostly this is because the actual cash cost of a car is more than most people have saved up. However, there's a lot more to it than just borrowing. There's also the investment factor, and if you're smart, you can save more money with a car loan than you'd save by paying cash. In this piece, we'll be looking at what happens when you get a car loan such as those offered by the providers here, versus what would happen if you had paid cash, or if you had instead invested that cash, and still gotten a loan. Here's what happens to your money, and why it's usually best to get a car loan. Car loans are usually a very straightforward business. You find a car you like, apply for the loan, and are approved – either with or … [Read more...]
4 Creative Ways to Help Pay for Moving
The cost of moving is expensive given the deposits and transfers of utilities alone. The additional cost to hire a moving service, buy packing materials and paying additional help adds up quickly. There are cheaper ways to move that will still allow you money for items that the new place will need. Offer Pizza and Drinks for Help from Friends Rather than hiring a professional packing and loading group, ask friends to help. Offer pizza and drinks for their help. Friends are great helpers because they respect your things and are less likely to be careless with delicate boxes. This saves hundreds of dollars on moving expenses. Some friends will not expect anything for their help and will just show up as needed. Get Boxes from Supermarkets Rather than buying boxes and packing … [Read more...]
Confession: I Buy Clothes Off Season At Target
How many times have you agonized about updating your wardrobe but hesitant to do so because it might get too expensive? I know I have and on many occasions Ive just opted not to do so. Well you'll be happy to know that something that I've started doing is shopping off season at Target. My day job requires that I be dressed professionally - no jeans, tshirts etc, especially if I am in court or have meetings with other department heads. We don't require suits but being polished and comfortable is a must. Target gives me what I need without having to break the bank. Good prices and decent quality. Can you tell that I just really like Target, even though I always end up leaving with more than I intended to buy? Why? Because Target is the devil, plain and simple. I updated my … [Read more...]
5 Ways To Make Money By This Evening
If you have rent due tomorrow or you need to pay somebody by tomorrow, it is too easy to think that the only way to get out of the financial pickle you're in is to take out a loan. I don't blame you. Most people think this way because it definitely takes care of the problem. Sadly, it is too easy to take out a payday loan or some other high interest loan.

Falling In Love With Your Money One Transaction At A Time
Usually, when it comes to personal finance issues, the words 'saving' and 'fun' or 'love' aren't mentioned in the same sentence. In many cases, they are spaced very far apart. There's a good reason for this: most people consider saving a chore. We tend to think saving money involves denying ourselves all the good stuff life has to offer - whether we can afford it or not. So we may feel cheated or 'denied' when we can't spend whatever we want or spend whenever we want. Well, as you probably already can see, this kind of spending habit will quickly put you in the poorhouse. Discipline is required. The only question left is not whether you need to save on expenses and save as much your income as possible but how to do so. The good news is that it doesn't have to be a chore or … [Read more...]
The Girl's Guide to Used Cars
It's very likely that, at some point in your life, you'll be the owner of a used car. Perhaps you're just not interested in the high monthly loan and insurance payments that come with buying new or perhaps you're interested in a specific older make and model. Regardless, used cars are often very wise choices when it comes to vehicle purchases and more and more women are realizing when it comes to saving money, used cars are an excellent way to facilitate that. Of course, shopping for a used car is not without its drawbacks. Topping the list of concerns is the condition of the car and any potential mechanical problems or breakdowns that might occur. These are very valid issues that deserve to be addressed, but they shouldn't deter you outright. Additionally, if you're concerned about your … [Read more...]
Whole Foods On The Cheap: 25 Items Cheaper At Whole Foods
The Whole Foods gods must have been listening this week because I've been struggling with eating organic and low fat while maintaining a reasonable food budget. So what's a girl on a budget to do?

Hidden Costs that Can Break Your Wedding Budget
If your dream wedding is turning into a budgeting nightmare – you are not alone! Nearly one-third of all brides break their budgets,* and with the average wedding costing $27,000,* every dollar counts. Springleaf Financial, a leading consumer finance company, uncovers hidden wedding costs that can quickly add up to hundreds – and even thousands – of dollars in unexpected expenses: Wedding License: Since it's not part of the actual day, you might forget to include the cost of a wedding license in the budget.

Tips On Protecting Your Wallet and Energy Bill
If you're out of power at home, it could be for any number of reasons. From circuit issues to power cuts and problems with your meter, there are many stages involved in delivering energy to your home which could go wrong. Faulty or inefficient meters can lead to energy waste, which can be expensive and devastating for both the environment and your pocket.

The ABC of Chess Endgames CD
Brand: ChessBase
Product Description
The ABC of Chess Endgames
Realizing the necessity of making yourself familiar with chess endings, you will soon be confronted with a problem: where to start and where to finish? There is an abundance of material in reference books like those by Cheron or Averbakh, but real basic endings are hard to find among the many exceptional positions. But who tells you what is must-know information and what is special knowledge mostly for professionals? The answer is: the "ABC of Chess Endgames".
With a total number of 176 treated endgames, the material on the CD is definitely user friendly. In addition, 29 examples considered indispensable are pointed out for special study. Whether "Lucena-positions", or practical hints for the surprisingly frequent endgame "Rook + Bishop vs. Rook", all these standard examples are including in the small survey.
And for those wishing to deepen their knowledge even more, there are database texts introducing the respective type of chess endgames with links to immediately call up the relevant examples.
Installs in English and German, and does NOT require any additional software. This product comes with the ChessBase Reader program.

Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing focuses upon how to construct, secure, manage, monitor and use public IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS clouds. Major areas of focus include barriers to cloud adoption, progress on the part of cloud vendors in removing those barriers, where the line of responsibility is drawn between the cloud vendor and the customer for each of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS clouds, (Read More)
Scope: It Is All about Scope
When to implement security and data protection practices, or even change existing ones, is all about timing, knowledge, and scope. Deciding what to implement at any particular time requires knowledge of what needs to be fixed, and also of what the future could hold. To do this properly, you need to pay close attention to the threats within your industry, understand their impact, and evaluate them based on risk. Where to obtain such knowledge is always changing, but the scope we apply the knowledge to seems to be static and not changing with the times.
Agility and the Cloud
When people hear the word agile, they usually think of words like scrum, kanban, and velocity. Agile methodologies are geared toward churning out faster iterations of software, but the speed of software development does not always correlate to an organization being agile. What makes an organization agile is when the software that is being delivered is producing enough value to meet the business demand. In order to increase the value of our releases, we need to stop spending so much precious time racking and stacking infrastructure and managing application servers and databases, and spend more time adding valuable features for our business partners and customers. In other words, we need to embrace the cloud.

Get Off the Hypervisor and Get Into the Cloud
In my last couple of posts, I wanted to express my thoughts about the future of cloud computing. In the first post, I shared what appears to be a bright outlook for the future for people working in the cloud space, given the soaring demand for skilled engineers and not enough quality people to fill those roles. In my second post, I presented a couple of key skill areas that currently seem to have the most demand. I want to share my thoughts, or more to the point, concern, that this "gap" of skilled engineers is only going to increase unless we can help guide people off the hypervisor and into the cloud.

Lowest-Hanging Fruit of Cloud Security
At nearly every conference, we talk about the lowest-hanging fruit of virtualization security, but we often miss the discussion about the lowest-hanging fruit of cloud security. They are not the same. Are we talking about good SSL hygiene? That is a part of it, but there is something even more basic than that. John Dickson, principal of the Denim Group, joined us on The Virtualization Security Podcast to talk about how people are moving to the cloud and the things they miss.

Cloud Deployment Approach: Avoiding the Dark Side
By now, we have all heard the success stories in which companies have increased their agility, lowered costs, reduced their data center footprint, built impressive high-scale systems, or gained competitive advantages by leveraging cloud computing services. But for every success story, there are one too many companies that struggle to capitalize on the promise of cloud computing.
