MadeClose recently sat down with Catherine Angiel, the most badass punk rock jewelry designer in New York (and probably the country), to learn about what it takes to make it in this town. What we found was a determined woman who has been pushing boundaries for over 20 years and fighting the good fight so that other female designers could have a place at the table. We really enjoyed hearing what she had to say and know that you will too.
MadeClose: How did you become a jewelry designer?
Catherine Angiel: I was always an artist and a musician. At 15 years old, I was drumming in the underground rock scene at places like CBGB. With drumming came expenses, like equipment and rehearsal space, and my mother told me to get a job. I started working at a friend's family jeweler and I just fell in love with it while watching him make jewelry. That's when it started for me, almost by accident.
MC: Where did you learn to design jewelry?
CA: I would watch the jeweler every chance I could, but I was working in sales. I told my boss I really wanted to learn how to make jewelry and he told me that 'women aren't strong enough to be jewelry designers and you should just stick to sales.' That made me want to do it even more, so I kept watching him and wound up getting jobs at various factories where I could keep observing different parts of the process to get the experience I needed. It was hard back then because years ago women weren't jewelry designers. I really had to prove myself tenfold to even get the opportunity to have someone give me the chance.
MC: How did you get your business started?
My guitar player built me a bench so I could start creating my own line. I'd come home after work and make jewelry in my mom's living room until one o'clock in the morning. One day, I decided I should sell it. I went to Bloomingdale's and the woman looked and asked me if I could afford to do an order for them because it's net 90 days. I asked her what that meant and she said that they wouldn't be able to pay me for 90 days, so I went next door into a boutique and sold everything for cash. From there, I started selling to little boutiques and built enough capital to open a booth on 47th street. One day, I saw this little store for rent on Greenwich Ave. in Greenwich Village and I'll have been here twenty years this October.
MC: What sort of obstacles did you encounter in starting your business?
CA: Well being told I wasn't strong enough to make jewelry, I was basically like, 'watch me,' because it was something I really wanted to do. The bottom line is that I'm an artist; I love getting my hands dirty and working with my hands. He felt that the strenuous work of bending pieces into place would be too hard. But he didn't tell me about running a business, which is a different story. That's where the real strength comes in (laughs).
MC: How do you feel being a New York native informs your aesthetic?
CA: All of my experiences have inspired me in what I do today. I was hanging around people like Deborah Harry before she was known as Blondie, and playing shows at CBGB at fifteen. I've been around such incredibly talented people who were renegades, and that made me a renegade and made me want to do jewelry that had character. People weren't using black diamonds ten and fifteen years ago, but we were. People weren't taking skulls or spiders and using them in delicate, gorgeous pieces of jewelry. Even though we have this handcrafted bridal collection, we also have our couture brand that is really expressive and really shows my New York influences. You can kind of feel a little New York in each piece.
MC: How involved are you in the actual production?
CA: Most of the production is done here at my store and I oversee everything. We make our castings and waxes by hand, which is very important. It's what gives my work its signature feel. Everything is carved by hand, and finished by hand. It's a lost art.
MC: How many people work for you?
CA: In production it's just me and an assistant, and then I have my store manager and a sales manager.
MC: You must be incredibly busy.
CA: I am, and I also do trunk shows because now we're hosting a line at Neiman Marcus. They would probably be shocked to know that not only are we designing and producing the jewelry, but we're also the bookkeeper, shipping, and packaging department.
MC: Many artists and craftspeople have trouble finding success. What do you think helped you in your business?
CA: As an artist, I know it's difficult for young designers and artists to get started. I just had a lot of guts. I was probably nineteen and I just walked into Bloomingdale's and showed them my jewelry - I had no fear. I just thought I was going to walk in and sell it. 'Who cares if they say no?' I thought, and I knew that If I didn't try I would never know. It gave me the inspiration to continue, and being able to walk next door and sell everything helped me to continue to grow and to have the confidence that my work desired.

Before designing to stabilize circuit drift due to changing temperatures it is helpful and sometimes necessary to understand and explain the physics of the observed drifts. In the case of the Junction Gate FET this enables minimizing of temperature effects using the characteristics of the device itself. It is the purpose of this paper to outline FET temperature characteristics.

Fire up the grill and get ready to learn how to make the perfect steak! Michael Lomonaco, chef and partner of Porterhouse New York, shares his delicious cookout recipes that are sure to make this holiday memorable.
- 3 pounds sirloin steak cut into 2 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 3 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
- 24 large shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 large red peppers, seeded and cut into 1 inch squares
- 8 large metal skewers
- Salt and pepper
Baking Directions:
1. Combine the sherry, soy, sesame oil, rice vinegar, wasabi paste and ginger in a bowl. Reserve 1\3 of the marinade for basting during cooking later. Add the sirloin cubes to the 2\3 remaining marinade and allow to marinate for 1-2 hours, refrigerated.2. Drain the beef of excess marinade. Thread the sirloin cubes unto the skewers, alternating with a mushroom and a red pepper square, 2-3 pieces of beef, mushrooms, pepper per skewer. 3. Pre-heat an outdoor grill to medium heat by building a charcoal fire to one side or setting the gas burners to medium, pre-heating for 15-20 minutes.4. Season the kebabs with salt and pepper. Place the kebabs on the hot grill, be aware of flame ups do to the dripping marinade. Carefully baste the kebabs with the reserved marinade. 5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning until all 4 sides of the beef cubes are thoroughly cooked. 6. Remove and serve.
- 4 - 14- 16 ounce rib steaks cut on the bone
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 fresh lemon
- Kosher salt
- ground black pepper
Baking Directions:
1. Combine the oil, garlic and herbs in a small bowl, set aside 2. Season the rib steaks with half the oil-herb seasoning mix and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.3. Pre-heat an outdoor grill to medium high heat for 15 minutes. Preheating is crucial to the type of fast cooking beef requires. 4. Season the steak with salt and pepper and place each of the steak on the hot grill. 5. Cook the steaks on both sides to the desired doneness, medium rare should be take approximately 4-5 minutes per side. After turning the steaks to the second side, brush some additional oil-herb marinade over them for added flavor. Generally, a steak of this size, cooked over a barbecue grill, will cook to medium-rare within about 8-10 minutes (4 minutes on each side) with a blackened exterior and a warm pink interior. Check for doneness by pressing gently with a cautious finger to feel for firmness-the firmer to the touch, the more well-done the beef is. 6. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the steaks, drizzle any remaining oil-herb mix and serve.

This program is sponsored by the Charter Township of Redford and the South Redford Schools. Adults may purchase a lunch for $3.50.
Library Holds
Starting June 1st, we will be holding items for 5 days instead of 7 days. This is to help decrease the amount of time a hold sits on the shelf and, in turn, have faster turnaround on items with a waitlist.

With recent upgrades to our computer systems, you can now do the following:
- Print on legal size paper (8 ½" x 14") and make two sided prints from patron computers.
- Reprint a document directly from our print release station.
- Pay for prints at the print release station instead of going to the circulation desk.
- Have a set reservation time when computer stations are full.

Little Big Girl
|This article does not cite any sources. (March 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"Little Big Girl" is the twelfth episode of The Simpsons' eighteenth season, which was originally broadcast on February 11, 2007. It was written by Don Payne, and directed by Raymond S. Persi. Natalie Portman guest starred as a new character, Darcy. The title is a play on the Dustin Hoffman movie Little Big Man. The last time the title was parodied was in season 11's "Little Big Mom."
When Lisa struggles to find excitement and intrigue in her family heritage for a school presentation, she decides to take creative license. Inspired by Bart's "Indian butter trick" and the well-known kitchen curtains, with their stalks-of-corn pattern, Lisa claims to be Native American, from the "Hitachi" tribe, a name Lisa selects based on the Hitachi brand of the family's microwave oven. The embellishment turns into a web of lies when Lisa is chosen to represent the school and her "people" at City Hall, then as a keynote speaker for the National Native American Tribal Council. She eventually admits she lied about her heritage, but is spared from prosecution when the other speakers admit they are not true Native Americans. Homer compares his daughter to CBS News in a reference to the 2004 Killian documents controversy. As they leave, Homer mentions that his great-great-grandmother actually was a Native American, and Lisa sarcastically agrees with him, although Homer replies that she did not ask him about it.
At his farm, Cletus is milking his cow when he accidentally kicks over a lantern, prompting a series of Rube Goldberg-esque events that leads to a chicken starting a fire. Cletus's cow succeeds in extinguishing the fire, but Cletus drops his smoking pipe, leading to a wildfire around Springfield. The townspeople try to extinguish it, to no avail. At Springfield Elementary, Principal Skinner asks Groundskeeper Willie to get the fire extinguisher, but all of them have been stolen by Bart to propel his wagon. As Bart rockets around town, the foam released from the extinguishers puts out the wildfire. Bart is cheered as a hero by everyone and rewarded with a driver's license by Mayor Quimby.
Bart starts using Homer's car for his own pleasure, but is eventually tabbed for family errands (mostly chauffeuring Homer). Bart flees to North Haverbrook, where he meets a 15-year-old girl named Darcy, who believes Bart is much older. They begin a romantic relationship and Darcy soon proposes marriage. At the court house, Bart reveals his age, whereupon Darcy reveals that she is pregnant, much to Bart's depression. Darcy admits that Bart is not the father - the real father is a Norwegian exchange student, and she wants to get married because her parents would be upset with her unwed pregnancy. Bart agrees to marry Darcy, and they drive to Utah, where marriage restrictions are looser. Eventually, Homer, Marge and Darcy's parents catch up with them to stop the wedding, where Darcy's father reasons with Bart as he believes that Bart took advantage of a girl much older than him and got her pregnant. Darcy confesses to her parents that Bart is not the father. Darcy's mother is pregnant too, and the family agrees to pass the two babies off as twins. Darcy and Bart end their relationship, while Bart assures her they will meet again, to which she agrees. Later, Bart admits to Homer that he looked forward to being a father.

FCert in English for Academic Studies (Standard)
About the course
If you are an international student with good academic qualifications, but with a low level of English, this one year programme can help you to develop both your English language and study skills and enable you to progress to a wide range of degree courses at the University. The programme is designed to give you the confidence and knowledge that you will need in order to begin to study effectively in a new country. After successful completion of this programme you will be guaranteed a place on the degree course of your choice at the University.
During the EAS programme you will develop general English language and study skills in the areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening. You will also learn about how to clearly understand the academic language that will be used by your tutors and about how to study effectively at a British university. At the same time you will be introduced to British society and culture through the use of materials found in British publications, recordings and broadcasts. The programme is designed to improve your English skills whilst helping you to settle into in a new country and find out about differences in culture and approaches to studying.
Why choose this course?
- EAS will help you to develop both your English language and study skills and enable you to progress to a wide range of degree courses at the University
- The programme is designed to give you the confidence and knowledge that you will need in order to begin to study effectively in the UK
- EAS is equivalent to Common European Framework level B1
Entry requirements...
Standard EAS route: for students wishing to progress to degree programmes with an entry point equivalent to IELTS 6.0
If you have IELTS 4.0 , with no less than 4.0 in each band or equivalent* you will need to study for two Semesters (September-May or January-July)
If you have IELTS 5.0, with no less than 4.5 in each band or equivalent* you will need to study for one Semester (January-May only)
+ students with IELTS 5.0 or above may also be interested in joining our Pre-sessional English programmes
In addition to the English language requirements, applicants for undergraduate programmes must normally have satisfactorily completed high school or secondary school; applicants for postgraduate programmes should hold an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK second class honours degree. Our offer for the International Baccalaureate (IB) is made outside of the UCAS Tariff and is calculated by dividing our tariff point offer by 10 i.e. 280 UCAS points equals 28 IB points.
*Please note, you must ensure that you undertake one of the new UKVI Secure English Language Test (SELT) Academic IELTS or Trinity College Tests of English (UK only) in order to be eligible for a Tier 4 student visa for a preparatory course. We will be unable to accept any other English test providers in light of recent changes made by the Home Office to English language provision. Please visit the Home Office website for details of approved test centres where you may undertake one of the new style SELT IELTS.
If you do not have the required level of English for entry, our academic English and foundation courses can help you to achieve this level.

Your future options will depend on the subject you choose for your degree study, and the University offers a very wide range of subjects including law, business and management, computer science and engineering, as well as humanities and the arts.

MILAN, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Mario Balotelli scored from a late penalty for the second straight game for AC Milan on Sunday, giving them a 1-1 draw at Cagliari in Serie A.
The Italy forward won the penalty after being pulled down by Davide Astori and sent Michael Agazzi the wrong way to make it three goals in two games since his move from Manchester City and wipe out Victor Ibarbo's opener for the Sardinians.
Astori, already booked for a previous foul on Balotelli, was sent off.
Palermo and AS Roma, who fired their coaches after losing their previous games, both failed to win.
Palermo stayed level on points at the bottom with Siena after drawing 1-1 to Pescara, who are also in the relegation zone, and Roma lost 3-1 at Sampdoria, where Argentine teenager Mauro Icardi was among the scorers. (Writing by Brian Homewood in Berne; editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Private Empire: ExxonMobil And American Power
by Jason Tanz, via OnEarth Magazine
Perhaps you recall Milo Minderbinder, the ambitious World War II mess hall officer from Catch-22. An avatar of capitalist ambition, Minderbinder expands his modest operation into a full-fledged multinational corporation.
It starts innocently enough — Minderbinder starts buying eggs from Sicily, then arranges a series of increasingly ludicrous deals to turn a profit. The absurd logic of untrammeled capitalism soon drives him to outrageous action, including accepting money from the Germans to bomb his own platoon. He justifies his behavior by pointing out that, as everyone in the troop is an investor — "everybody has a share," as his catchphrase has it — they are in fact profiting from their own demise.
In Steve Coll's new book Private Empire, a history of ExxonMobil in the years since the March 24, 1989, Valdez spill in Alaska, CEO Lee Raymond doesn't quite reach Minderbinderian levels of amorality, but he gets mighty close. His company pays the torture-happy Singaporean military to protect its oil fields from rebel forces. He hires a team of scientists to browbeat researchers attempting to assess the damage from Valdez. He publicly dismisses the very notion of climate change, even as his company explores how global warming might offer new opportunities for oil exploration and profit. "Don't believe for a minute that ExxonMobil doesn't think climate change is real," Coll quotes a manager as saying.
Coll conducted hundreds of interviews to compile this exhaustive — sometimes exhausting — history of one of the world's most secretive companies. In piercing Exxon's crude-black veil, Coll is doing more than describing the inner operations of a successful multinational. He is investigating an organization that, in size and influence, may as well be its own nation with its own sovereign interests — a "corporate state within the American state," as Coll puts it. In capturing the mind-boggling scope of Exxon's activity, Coll also offers crash courses in the finer points of oil exploration, the bizarre and brutal history of Equatorial Guinea, the rise of piracy in Nigeria, the eco-guerilla movement, resource management in post-Soviet Russia, the finer points of campaign-finance law, the apportionment of oil field contracts in post-war Iraq, and the battle for Acehnese independence. (NB: This is a much-abridged list.)
It is to Coll's credit that Raymond never comes across as a moustache-twirling supervillain. He is merely the master of a proudly cloistered society, one that values loyalty and rule-following over free thinking and flexibility. That kind of rigorous mindset is probably necessary to oversee a business as complicated and sprawling as Exxon. Routinely one of the most profitable companies in the U.S. — its quarterly earnings topped $10 billion last year — Exxon's tradition of consistent financial performance belies the chaos inherent in practically every level of its operations. Like all oil concerns, Exxon is on a constant hunt for "reserve replacement" — finding enough new oil to make up for the huge amount that the company extracts every year — a requirement that has led Exxon into ever more far-flung (and unstable) parts of the world.
At the same time, the size of its balance sheet means that even modest legislative adjustments — a small tax increase, for instance — could result in billions in losses. Factor in the occasional class-action suit, oil leak, or executive kidnapping, and even the least sympathetic reader can have some appreciation for Raymond's rigid, top-down culture. "[U]nless Raymond used his bully pulpit … to pound hard and even intimidate his employees," Coll writes, "the natural drift and compromising tendencies of such a large workforce would produce mediocre results."
Raymond takes a similarly uncompromising attitude toward his many critics. Alternative-energy proponents are dismissed as soft-headed idealists. SEC regulations that conflict with Exxon's own accounting practices are glibly disregarded in its public statements. Human-rights compacts are refused, not because Exxon doesn't agree with the ideals behind them but because, in the words of one executive, "We don't sign on to other people's principles." Raymond, in other words, was well suited for the early 21st century Age of American Imperiousness, an attitude best personified by his close friend, Dick Cheney.
And woe to scientists who reach conclusions that Exxon finds distasteful. Government researchers studying how much oil still lurked beneath the beaches of Prince William Sound 12 years after the Valdez spill dug 7,000 holes on 91 beach segments — all while being trailed by Exxon-funded scientists on cruise ships and helicopters, who mapped their movements and double-checked their work. When the government's team leader, Jeffrey Short, published his findings, Exxon rushed out a response, all but accusing the researchers of fraud. "We saw no evidence that Short dug 7,000 pits," the paper stated. "Had thousands been dug, we would have located many more." Exxon filed dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, burying the scientists in paperwork, and representatives showed up at every public presentation to attack their work. Eventually, Short retired from his government post, in part because he was fed up with the harassment.
About halfway through Coll's treatise, he loses his main character. In 2006, Raymond steps down. His replacement, Rex Tillerson, is chosen in part as a softer corrective to Raymond's alienating ways. Coll unearths some great details from Tillerson's reign, none more heartbreaking than the story of Tillerson's ill-fated flirtation with support for a carbon tax. Tillerson ordered a review of the company's climate strategy when he took the helm, which concluded that some form of carbon price hike was likely inevitable, and that a predictable tax was preferable to the gyrations and bureaucracy of a cap-and-trade system. Despite Exxon's aggressive lobbying campaign, politicians pursued a cap-and-trade policy, which died in the Senate.
Still, without Raymond's single-minded drive as an anchor for the story, Coll's narrative falls prey to some of the same aimlessness and drift that Raymond feared would befall Exxon without his authoritarian touch. Regardless, the book concludes with a satisfying — if depressing — geometry. Coll begins his tale with an account of the Valdez spill, an event that the author credits for inspiring Exxon's fierce discipline, giving the company "a sense that Exxon's leaders might need to find new ways to exert greater control over the world in which they operated." In the intervening years, Exxon succeeds remarkably at this goal, influencing US foreign policy, environmental regulations, and tax policy, all while negotiating successfully with an assortment of tin-pot dictators and executing the multibillion dollar purchases of Mobil and XTO.
And yet, at the book's final chapter — an account of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, for which Exxon shared cleanup responsibilities — the company is no better prepared than it was for the Valdez spill. "When these things happen," Tillerson admits before a congressional committee, "we are not well equipped to deal with them." It's hard to imagine the ever-arrogant Exxon making a similar confession about any other aspect of its business. Then again, it doesn't seem to have mattered much. In the two years since Tillerson made that statement, Exxon's stock has jumped 39 percent. And one way or another, everybody has a share.

Exxon's actions will doom their own grandchildren, too. That's why they dwell on the dark side, and why their activity cannot be so easily dismissed as the habits of another money obsessed corporation.
Many of us knew that their executives are perfectly aware of the dangers of global warming. Their culture is too thorough and disciplined to believe otherwise. Climate change denial is something for the rubes, and to provide cover for their machinations in Washington.
And when climate change goes past the tipping point, do these guys think there will be somewhere to run and hide?
Too bad Exxon, BP and the rest don't see themselves in the energy business instead of the fossil fuel business. They could easily finance the rapid transition to renewable energy.
The GOP do not fund abortion. On the other hand, if I added all the taxes I have ever payed in my life, state, federal, property and miscellaneous, it would not cover one minute's worth of tax subsidies payed to these extremely profitable ecocidal fossil behemoths… Go Figure!
"…the size of its balance sheet means that even modest legislative adjustments — a small tax increase, for instance — could result in billions in losses."
So are you saying that eliminating the federal subsidies to oil companies would hurt Exxon's bottom line? This is not what representatives from the big 5 told congress, in 2005 I think.
The important part is the fact that this is a crude oil company, not a wind turbine or solar or even a biofuel company. The illuminating behavior is that Exxon would much rather take all the risks involved with developing oil fields in African nations with all the inherent governmental corruption, lack of infrastructure necessary to develop the operation, lack of security, risk of kidnap, and expense getting the product to a refinery than seriously investing in alternative, renewable energy sources. They would rather invest in the latest and fastest supercomputers to help them find new oil deposits and new devices to recover sunken drilling platforms and continue with ultra deep water drilling for crude. They are a crude oil company and they will not change until all the oil has been sucked from the crust, hence the relentless pressure to drill in ANWR. They will not even invest in a fleet of oil spill recovery vessels large enough to station near all their offshore operations. It is obvious that they are only interested in investing in oil exploration for the next several decades.
I have already read "Vulture's Picnic" by Palast, so none of this comes as any surprise.
It is not just Exxon, the entire oil industry is unimaginably powerful and corrupt.
I drive an electric car for many reasons, but that is one of the major ones.

My sexual performance is and always was good but I always thought no morning erections was caused by low T. I guess not because I still do not get morning erections.
So what does give you the morning erections? More or less E?
I just started on T Cyp (100mg per week - 1/2 ml injection of 200 mg) last Monday and I'm waiting on the morning wood, i really haven't noticed much at this point but i did go to the gym yesterday which i have not done in a long time..
Good question but no really good answer. Yes E (high or low) can have a significant impact on erections and morning wood. Erections result from a complex interaction of hormones and neuropeptides within the limbic system of the brain. It involves turnover of dopamine and a bunch of other neurochemicals. It's not fully understood.
But, yes, E is the first thing I'd look at if T is in range and erections are an issue.
Hey 55,
Not really having issues with erections I was more talking about morning wood... Wording if that comes back.. It's only been a week so maybe it will just take some time.

Hi Ladies! This is my first try at generating a topic for discussion. The background on me is: Started trying TTC#1 in Jan 2008 finally got pregnant in April 2009 5 days before my first RE consult. Had an uneventful 9 months and c-section of a now almost 3 year old healthy happy little girl. I wanted to try for #2 so I stoppped BC pills in April 2011. I omitted telling my husband until July 2011 because I knew he didn't want any other children. He still feels the same about it but he's decided to give in to me. I finally had my RE consult June 2012. He told me I wasn't infertile just "sub fertile". Had some lab work, he gave me Clomid and sent me on my way. After two rounds of being unmonitored on the clomid I made a follow up appt. On my second visit he told me that my lab work from June showed a low AMH of 0.87 and that pregnancy wasn't impossible just harder to acheive. Like I needed it to be any harder already!
We are currently at a cross roads. This cycle we are still doing Clomid cycle days 5-9, monitoring with u/s, an HCG trigger, and either timed intercourse or IUI. The dilemma for me is that IUI is an expensive gamble since we have to pay out of pocket for all fertility care. The issue for the hubs is the geography of giving the sample and that he thinks that there is this huge increase in chances of multiples. He doesn't want to give a sample in the office. He wants to provide it at home like he did for his SA in 2009. I can be to the dr office in 30 minutes but I'm sure the dr would want a "fresh sample"if we do the IUI. I'll admit to being baby obsessed for the last 18 months and I have promised him that if we do IUI and its unsuccessful that I'll take a medication/sanity break over the holidays and start again around my birthday in February as I will be 35.
So IUI or not???Hmmm...still undecided.

CHICAGO - Dozens of people rallied here at Federal Plaza March 3 demanding that Congress act immediately to address the worst job crisis since the Great Depression. It's an outrage, organizers said, that Congress was forced to delay a one-month extension of unemployment benefits by a single Republican, yet they wasted no time in bailing out Wall Street.
Speakers at the rally said the extension doesn't address the national state of emergency plaguing the country as 15.3 million and rising remain unemployed.
"We need a federal jobs program to put people back to work now," said Susan Hurley, executive director of Chicago Jobs with Justice. "We need immediate action to create, save and protect jobs and human services."
Congress should spend money on infrastructure like building roads, mass transit, schools and affordable housing, said Hurley. "We need them to get to work. Look how fast they rescued the banks. But what are they doing for the American people?"
There are 1.6 million people living on food stamps in Illinois. "This is a life and death emergency," said Diane Doherty with the Illinois Hunger Coalition. Everyday people have to choose whether to pay their mortgage, put food on the table or pay for health care costs, Doherty said.
"Washington is out of touch. And shame on those in Congress obstructing passage of meaningful legislation to expand access to unemployment benefits and help workers and their families who are in a desperate situation. The Republicans have proven they are obstacles to any recovery for working people," she said.
Highlighting the crisis, rally organizers held a symbolic "Senate Soup Kitchen" passing out cups of soup evoking images of the Great Depression.
"The soup line is no longer limited for the homeless these days," said Ed Shurna, executive director of Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. It's unacceptable and the recovery process is a disaster, he said.
"If we can move with breakneck speed to bail out Wall Street banks, we must act in the same way to provide jobs for the American people," he said.
Charles Jenkins was at the rally and said he has been unemployed for more than a year. "There are no jobs, especially at a living wage," he said. "I should be as important to Congress as a big Wall Street bank."
According to Michael Lemke with Progressive Democrats of America the "corporate" Democrats and all Republicans have built an economy for the few, not the many.
Republicans like Sen. Jim Bunning from Kansas, who stalled the unemployment benefits measure for days, continue to shortchange the American people, said Lemke.
"We have a predatory financial sector, a foreign policy run by mercenaries and war profiteers, and a parasitic private health insurance industry," he said.
"We need single payer health insurance, fair trade policies that protects and creates an American manufacturing sector including a serviceable financial sector for everyday consumers and we need peace," said Lemke. "We need a real economy for a real future for ordinary Americans."
Speakers at the rally said it's time to hold Wall Street and lawmakers accountable. Federal action to extend and expand eligibility for jobless benefits (including COBRA and food assistance) and a federal jobs program paid for by a tax on Wall Street speculators needs to be on the agenda.
The rally was part of a national campaign for jobs calling for federal dollars to go toward the most economically distressed communities including emergency aid to fiscally strapped states and credit to small and medium sized businesses to begin hiring.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Decongestants & Antihistamines for the Common Cold
In this article
Are you all stuffed up and sneezing away because of a cold? Decongestants and antihistamines can help. They come in different forms, and they're often mixed into combination drugs that you can buy without a prescription.
It pays to do a little homework to make sure you're picking the right medicine for your symptoms.
How Do Decongestants Work?
They help reduce swelling in the passageways of your nose, which relieves the feeling of pressure and improves the flow of air. You'll be able to breathe a whole lot better.
Decongestants come in pill form or nasal sprays. Don't use the sprays for more than 3 days, or you may get more stuffed up.
How Do Antihistamines Work?
Some types of them can help relieve your runny nose and sneezing when you have a cold.
They block a chemical your body makes called histamine that makes the tissues in your nose itch and swell.
Most experts say that histamine isn't the major cause of a runny nose when you have a cold. Even so, some of the older antihistamines, such as brompheniramine and chlorpheniramine, can bring relief.
Newer antihistamines like fexofenadine (Allegra) and loratidine (Claritin) have not been shown to work for cold symptoms.
Are Decongestants and Antihistamines Safe?
A decongestant called phenylpropanolamine (PPA) was used for years as an ingredient in many cold drugs to clear up a stuffy nose. In 2000, researchers found it was linked to an increased risk of stroke, especially in women ages 18 to 49. The FDA then banned it from use in all prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Today's medicines don't have PPA, but make sure you don't have any old cold meds in your house that might contain the ingredient.
What Are the Side Effects?
The main one for antihistamines is drowsiness, so it can be tough to take during the day. That's why they're often included in nighttime cold medicines.
Other common side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and headache.
Decongestants may keep you awake and are usually taken during the day. Nasal sprays are less likely to have that side effect and may be helpful at night for congestion.
Decongestants can also raise blood pressure. So if your BP is high already, or you've got heart disease, check with your doctor before you use them. He may be able to suggest cold medicines that don't have decongestants in them.

the only thing I can say bad is the co2 container is empty and I did not know that. Other than that I was a great gift for my son and brother.
The gun broke apart the second time it was used. Thankfully had extra screws for us to use to repair it. When we get the canister refilled it only last through a few balls. Not sure if that is the canister or the place we are getting it filled at.

America is growing more polarized -- or so weÆve read in what seems like a zillion headlines in the weeks since the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press released ōPolitical Polarization in the American Public.ö
This is the report that spurred an untold number of late-night comedy show one-liners with the statistic that three out of 10 consistent conservatives and about a quarter of across-the-board liberals say they would be unhappy if an immediate family member married someone who identified with the opposite political party.
The reportÆs prospect of a Hatfields-and-McCoys-tinged future has inspired much soul-searching. But not everyone believes the hysteria is warranted.
Matthew Dickinson, writing in Politico Magazine, chastised headline readers for not diving below the bold type to find PewÆs own summary that ōthese sentiments are not shared by all -- or even most -- Americans. The majority do not have uniformly conservative or liberal views.ö
On both The Washington PostÆs Monkey Cage blog and NPRÆs ōOn the Media,ö Morris Fiorina, a Stanford political scientist and author of the book ōCulture War? The Myth of a Polarized America,ö balked.
ōPolarization in common parlance means people moving toward the extremes. ThatÆs really not whatÆs happening and not what the Pew report showed,ö Fiorina said on NPR. ōWhat it reflects, really, is the sorting out of the two political parties in the United States -- the people are becoming more consistent in their views.ö
Further, in his blog post, Fiorina notes: ōIf one thinks about polarization in ideological terms, one would expect to see a decline in moderates and an increase in liberals and conservatives. But the General Social Survey reports that the distribution of ideology in the United State has been stable since the early 1970s. With occasional small exceptions, æmoderateÆ remains the modal category today just as it was in the days of Jimmy Carter.ö
According to Fiorina, the reason we all feel like weÆre more polarized is because we are bathed in partisan media, blogs and elite ōshout showö echo chambers that do a terrible job of reflecting the moderation with which most Americans generally approach politics and life.
ōThe problem is, the public face of politics in America is driven by a tiny unrepresentative extreme slice of the population,ö Fiorina told ōOn the Media.ö ōIt does give a perception [of widespread political polarization] that is damaging.ö
His theory is also fleshed out in ōThe Outrage Industry: Political Opinion Media and the New Incivilityö by Jeffrey M. Berry and Sarah Sobieraj. The authors write:
ōOutrage-based media may limit our willingness to engage in political conversations with people who do not share our worldview, bruise our openness to othersÆ perspectives when we do talk with them, and, perhaps most ironically, leave us valorizing a new ideal that privileges passionate argumentation and devalues contributions that are more ideologically neutral. When evaluating political opinion media with democratic metrics it is important to acknowledge the uncomfortable reality: most U.S. opinion media are not designed to yield the best possible political deliberation. Instead, most political opinion media are governed by economic imperatives.ö
Thankfully, reality finds us enjoying the findings of a January 2014 Gallup poll, which put the number of political independents at 42 percent of Americans -- ōthe highest Gallup has measured since it began conducting interviews by telephone 25 years ago.ö
Even PewÆs own report notes that most of us are even-keeled.
ōWhen Americans look at the political battles between President Obama and Republicans in Congress, they tend to say both sides should meet in the middle. ... This view holds across party lines,ö the report says. ōWhile some Democrats would prefer to see Obama get more of what he wants in negotiations with Republicans, 46 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaners say the ideal outcome is 50/50. Exactly half of Republicans and Republican-leaners agree that splitting the difference is the right end result.ö
Think about this when your gun-hating, open-borders, pro-union cousin comes over for the annual Fourth of July barbecue and starts meandering toward the topic of politics with your gun-loving, small-government, slightly homophobic uncle.
The very fact that your family has lived and prospered despite such a diverse set of opinions proves PewÆs assessment that ōmost Americans are comfortable with political diversity in their households.ö
But if you hear the word ōObamacare,ö just be ready to intervene with more potato salad.
