Having several irons in the fire has never stopped me from opening the door when opportunity comes knocking. Ok, so this school bell didn't exactly "find" me so much as I was out at one of my usual haunts Treasure Mart looking for neat treasures when I came across IT.
It was labeled "School Bell - $8.00" and that was it. It rattled when I shook it, which turned out to be a mounting screw, surplus to requirement, left inside. Despite the mysterious rattle and the rusted condition of the bell it was too good of a find to pass up.
As you can see here it is labeled "The Autocall Co.". It also says [0].22 Amps, 24 Watts and 115-60. The last designation I take to mean 115 volts at 60 Hertz aka standard US AC voltage/frequency.
Immediately after getting home I opened it up to discover the bell's simple design. A spring dampened plunger in an AC solenoid. Each half of that 60Hz sine wave causing the plunger to move to and fro; ringing out that familiar and much awaited signal that class was over. This time, however, there would be no "Pete, please see me after class.". Shenanigans will abound.
The bell came with two 14 Ga. wires, one stranded the other solid, attached to the solenoid. Testing the bell by jamming these wires into an outlet controlled by a wall switch proved that the bell works. Not a surprising revelation after the visual inspection. However, needless to say, jamming bare wires into an outlet is not a long term solution to powering this bell and they were removed in favor of a two prong plug which you can see in the above pictures.
This thing really is quite loud. The microphone on my camera cannot pick up the audio too well until the amplitude falls within range.
Now, I have several ideas on what I will do with this bell in the future but I imagine nothing just yet. I think the application will present itself when the time is right. Perhaps an alarm to alert you the refrigerator door has been left open for too long. An alarm clock? Maybe use a PIR sensor to trigger the bell for a couple seconds anytime it "sees" a person enter a room. Or it could ring each time an email comes into my inbox. Certainly this serves as another reminder that an inductive vehicle detector loop is desirable in everyone's driveway. And of course with Halloween just around the corner it could be used to just plain scare the living daylights out of some poor unsuspecting soul. Let me know in the comment section what you would do with a school bell of your own.
A brief word on safety. Although this is called a school bell I believe they are also used in fire alarm systems. If nothing else I believe some people might interpret the sound to mean "DANGER". With this in mind I only activate the bell where those that can hear it are aware that the sound is not intended to signal any type of emergency condition. I encourage you to consider this possibility if you happen to come across such an item to play with too.

Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The death of Muammar Qaddafi is a cause for joy in Libya, and for concern. Some worry that the ruling National Transitional Council will force its way to permanent power; others that Islamist elements will seek to put the country under Shariah law; and there is also the danger of the nation splitting into three parts.
But there is another tremendous threat to Libya's progress waiting quietly next door. Algeria's military junta is terrified that a rebellious spirit may finally cross its borders. Ever since the Tunisian revolt dethroned President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Washington's foreign-policy establishment has paid little attention to Algeria, the lodestar of "the Arab West."
That's a mistake. With Qaddafi's fall and next week's elections in Tunisia, the odds are decent that the Great Arab Revolt will start to shake Algeria. The country is now surrounded by states in transition: Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, where the king just might be laying the groundwork for the Middle East's first real constitutional monarchy.
Algeria isn't a closed society. There are probably more Algerians living in the West than any other Arab nationality, and they usually remain in close contact with family and friends back home.
Prized Oil
Although oil and natural gas wealth hasn't enriched the common man, it has exposed the society -- especially the elite -- to globalization. Algerian oil, with its very low sulfur content, is highly prized in pollution-conscious Europe. The U.S. buys about 30 percent of Algeria's crude-oil exports, accounting for 3.6 percent of American petroleum imports last year. Algeria is the world's sixth-largest producer of natural gas, with most of its exports going to Europe.
A former colony of France and profoundly westernized, Algeria was the first major Arab state to flirt with democracy. The military dictatorship -- spiritually bankrupt, economically inept and violently challenged on the streets -- that had ruled the nation unchallenged since the mid-1960s, decided in 1989 to try elections. Yet after the triumph of the fundamentalist Islamic Salvation Front in local elections in 1990, the junta canceled the experiment. Civil war followed. In a savage duel between the regime and Islamist guerrillas, entire villages were wiped out.
So far, the lingering trauma of that bloodbath has helped save the regime from a new wave of Arab rebellion. But young men have bad memories -- and the Great Arab Revolt of 2011 has been the product of aspiring, deeply frustrated young men. Although the Algerian economy has improved since 1990, economic aspirations have far outstripped the government's ability to promote job growth.
On top of a corrupt socialist economy, the regime has built a masterpiece of crony capitalism. The dissident historian Mohammed Harbi, who once championed the rebellion against France and now lives in exile in Paris, put it succinctly: "The regime has nothing to offer for the long term. It is not interested in asking where Algeria and Algerians will be in twenty years."
Nothing really works in the country, except the oil and natural-gas industries, which fuel the police state. Hundreds of thousands have emigrated from the poverty, boredom and brutality of the security services.
In France and Belgium, expatriates have developed a pro-democracy virtual world on the Internet. Although deeply fearful of its powerful neighbor, Tunisia has developed a press that not only critiques its own embrace of democracy but also the resistance to popular government next door.
False Mandate
In the past 10 years, the Algerian regime has worked hard to create the illusion that it enjoys a popular mandate. Thousands of youthful demonstrators who briefly hit the streets after Tunisia and Egypt erupted revealed different sentiments.
If Algeria starts to rumble again, it will be because pro-democracy Algerian secularists detest the military dictatorship more than they fear Islamists. Indeed, in Tunisia and Egypt, Islamic parties have gained strength since the presidents-for-life fell. The wearing of veils has become much more common in Tunis, even in the wealthier neighborhoods.
The Algerian junta held firm in the 1990s partly because the non-Islamist middle and upper classes that detested the regime were repelled by the barbarism of the guerrillas. When jihadists started butchering women and children, the Islamic alternative became too frightful. (Also, the brutality of the government's forces -- the worst of them happily called themselves "les exterminateurs" -- inspired abject fear.) If the Tunisian and Egyptian elections bring Islamists to power and the sky doesn't fall, however, the odds of popular unrest in Algeria will shorten further.
The nature of Islamism has changed since 1990. Then, leading voices within the Islamic Salvation Front openly questioned the need for democracy since Shariah had all the answers. Today, while it may partly be duplicity at work, those Algerian voices have almost vanished. In Tunisia and Egypt, the big Islamist movements have embraced representative government -- younger members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood are loudly pro-democracy.
Religious hierarchy in the Middle East is in an advanced state of decay. Established religious institutions got compromised because of their close association with dictatorships.
Driving Force
In Egypt, this has produced ardently pro-democratic young Islamists who challenge their elders from the "left" and hard-core fundamentalist splinter groups who challenge from the "right." This individualization of the Muslim identity -- "my opinion is just as good as yours" -- is something entirely new to Islam, and its deep penetration into the Middle East is a driving force behind the revolts.
In Algeria, we don't know where the successors of the Islamic Salvation Front stand, since discussions of man, God and the ballot box have been silenced by the regime. But the secular Arab middle class and the university-educated young throughout the region are no longer offering their unconditional support to secular dictators for fear of what Islamists might bring. The era of "Khomeini anxiety" -- dominated by a fear that revolution and democracy will lead to theocracy -- may be fading.
All this has Algeria's generals understandably nervous. If elections in Tunisia and Egypt empower Islamists, we can expect Algeria's leaders to clandestinely aid unrest in Libya, creating a chaotic buffer zone against the spread of popular government.
One thing is certain, if revolt comes to Algeria, anger at the U.S. will probably swell. Twenty years ago, France was still the omnipresent devil. In the popular imagination today, Washington has replaced Paris as the backer of tyranny.
In 2002, William Burns, an assistant secretary of state, remarked in Algiers that the U.S. "has much to learn from Algeria on ways to fight terrorism." This solicitation has continued under President Barack Obama. Last month, the State Department coordinator for counterterrorism, Daniel Benjamin, was in Algiers. At a counterterrorist conference hosted by the government, he saw an opportunity "for our officials to learn from the experiences of other allied countries, in particular our North African partners.
"Our bilateral cooperation with the Algerian government in the battle against terrorism is now stronger than it has ever been," he said, covering "issues of public diplomacy, economics, and military aid."
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has relentlessly used counterterrorism -- the battle against al-Qaeda -- to justify political repression and the severe abuse of human rights. With such careless public comments, American officials reinforce the regime, but deeply anger the citizenry.
Since 1990, Algeria has been a volcano waiting to explode again. The revolts in Libya and Tunisia have probably brought that day closer. The coming shock to energy markets and America's role in the region may not be small.

The Swiss Army Knife might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of military multi-tools, but don't underestimate the lesser-know alternatives. Alternatives, for instance, like this stainless steel IXL British Army Knife, whose no-nonsense exterior belies a rich and fascinating history.
The knife's marlin spike, for instance, was a mainstay of 1800s mariners and their signature knots.—but seafaring wasn't all fun and knot-tying. Though the blade's rounded tip may seem impractical, a stab wound at sea almost always meant certain death, so you generally wanted to avoid stabbing-conducive situations at all costs. Some of the components have kept their original purpose, though, and as the workman's knife evolved into a military tool, one of these—the can opener—was added so soldiers in the field could dig into their canned food rations.
So along with this sharp-looking piece of British history, you'll be getting a 2.25 inch sheepsfoot blade, can opener, forged marlin spike, and flathead screwdriver. Not quite as functional as its Swiss cousin, perhaps, but it's just as pocket friendly and even lovelier to look it. You can pick up your very own at Core77's Hand-Eye Supply store for $44.

When was the last time I submitted a tutorial on a popular children's toy that has been around for decades? If I really think about it, I believe the last time I had an idea to draw a toy, was with Ken, you know, Barbie's boyfriend. Anyway, today I thought I would take a different approach when it comes to making toy figures. I was thinking that a tutorial on "how to draw a LEGO", would be something that some members can appreciate, and have fun with. Nowadays Lego people can be bought looking like some of your favorite movie stars, and what I mean by that is, when it comes to creating a new line of LEGO people, this company will go all out and create licensed themes from the cartoon and film industry. Today you can buy play sets that come in themes like Star Wars, Batman, Spongebob, Harry Potter, Thomas the Tank, Ben 10, Spider Man, Indiana Jones, and with the new Pixar movie that came out last month, you can now find a line for Toy Story as well. But even though there are some really cool themes, you can also find play sets that come in boxes that hold over four hundred pieces. The LEGO line was started in 1934, and ever since they have been producing plastic pieces of blocks that can be put together to create something fun and exciting. Anyway, this lesson will show you "how to draw a LEGO", step by step, and when you use this tutorial you will give yourself a skill to create and "draw LEGO people" as a group. I hope you enjoy this submission. I will return in a while with more drawing fun so be sure to stay logged in to find out what I will upload next.

New position as president at Oracle in jeopardy
Former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Mark Hurd's new job at rival Oracle Corp. has hit a legal snag just one day after his new position was announced, according to news agency reports today.
Oracle on Sept. 6 announced it had hired Hurd as co-president, replacing Charles Phillips, who has resigned.
HP filed its complaint today in a California state court.
In the lawsuit HP claims that Hurd wouldn't be able to perform the job at Oracle without revealing HP's trade secrets and violating a confidentiality agreement that Hurd had signed as part of a severance package from HP that could top $40 million, according to MSNBC.com. The lawsuit mentions that Hurd was responsible for preparing HP's strategic plans and was privy to a "highly confidential" analysis of Oracle's competitiveness against HP.
Hewlett Packard Co., of Palo Alto, Calif., ranks No. 12 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors. Oracle Corp., of Redwood Shores, Calif., ranks No. 88 on the list.
About the Author
David Hubler is the former print managing editor for GCN and senior editor for Washington Technology. He is freelance writer living in Annandale, Va.
Anyone in their right mind who got a $40 million severance would sit back and relax.

CleanMyDrive is an app that targets those files automatically and wipes them out to help you avoid wasting any space. It also makes it easy to eject any external drive, or all of them at once, with a single click. AdvertisementCleanMyDrive lives up in the menubar and can work automatically or manually—it's your choice. It's almost unfortunate that the interface is so nice because you will rarely need to interact with it. For the most part you can just let it run in the background and keep your drives from accumulating junk files. If you need to eject a bunch of drives, however, it's conveniently available. It can even eject them all at once with a single click, or just eject all disk images you've mounted. This is a nice little upgrade to OS X's eject menu.

Speed Notes isn't the first cloud-syncing note-taking app for the iPhone by any means, so let's look at the options. Our perennial favorite is Simplenote, which syncs notes to a web-based backend that is the backbone of the Simplenote service. I've been a big Simplenote supporter for a while now, but it does require signing up for a separate service, and chances are you already have Dropbox running on your machine. So how about your Dropbox options. You've got: Previously mentioned Nebulous Notes ($4): This is a kitchen-sink style app. It's full of bells and whistles, letting you choose themes, define macros, and even code from your iPhone. It's solid, but not really my favorite.PlainText (Free): Yes, it's free, but it also places ads over your notes. If you use your note-taking app a lot (which we do), this is a dealbreaker. For a quick $2 in-app purchase, though, you can remove those ads. Looks-wise, I'd call this my favorite of the Dropbox syncers. Functionally, though, it's not.Last, there's Speed Notes. The most likable thing about Speed Notes is that it copies its basic functionality from Notational Velocity (our favorite desktop note-taking app for Mac; copied by previously mentioned ResophNotes for Windows). It has one main input box, and you type into it to search notes or create a new note. You can use it to create and edit notes in any folder in your main Dropbox directory, and everything else works pretty simply and as expected. The main downside to Speed Notes is that it could use a little polish in its look. It's not hideous, but it's clearly not made by a designer. Also, pal-of-Lifehacker and MetaFilter creator Matt Haughey loves Speed Notes.Whichever you pick will likely be a matter of personal taste, but whether you go for Simplenote or one of your Dropbox-syncing options, I'd highly recommend downloading one of these apps and integrating it into your note-taking and list-making workflows. For a larger explanation of why apps like these are so great, my previous love letter to Simplenote is a good place to start.

- Forum: Classic Menswear
- Thread: Fake Ralph Lauren Polo shirt???
Actually, it looks like you sort of got taken. The shirt itself seems legit but the car looks screened instead of embroidered. Is that the case? It looks like somebody took a plain navy polo and screened all this extra stuff on it. I take back what I said about counterfeit incentives, if they have cheap but legit RL polos it makes sense to dress them up a bit to mimic more expensive RL offerings.

Did Anime Producers Go From Embracing Fansubbers To Blaming Them?
from the not-so-good dept
"Anime that has been fansubbed is effectively worthless. It's being given away for free. In terms of supply and demand, there is an infinite supply, and therefore the product is worthless regardless of how many people want it -- it's like trying to sell buckets of sea water to people on a beach. The only people who would pay for it are either older fans who are attached to the old ways of consuming media, or worse, are doing so out of charity. That is the state of this industry. And the companies who depend on anime for their livelihood let this happen."The editorial goes on to note that the industry has simply sat back and watched this happen for over a decade. Rather than recognizing that the reason fansubbers did what they want was because they felt they weren't being served by the industry, they just let it happen or complained about it. What's most interesting here, however, is that just three years ago, we had a story about fansubbers where the key to the story was the exact opposite: claiming that fansubbers had made anime a viable business proposition in the US, whereas before it had been almost entirely non-existent. On top of that, almost exactly two years ago, we had a post talking about how the industry had embraced fansubbers and learned to use them to the industry's advantage.
So what happened? Has the industry shifted so much in just two years? It would be great if those who followed the industry more closely could chime in, because it's odd to see such a divergent set of stories. However, from the various articles, it looks like fansubbers helped create a market in the US... but the industry misunderstood what that market represented, and by missing the actual market has now turned around and blamed fansubbers. That is, the growth of fansubbing created demand for anime in the US, but it wasn't demand for buying expensive DVDs for collecting well after the content had been released. It was demand for more content and other, ancillary products. Unfortunately, the anime industry assumed that the US market would simply mimic the Japanese market -- and even that it could hold off selling DVDs into that market until well after they were released in the US. This was a huge strategic error. It was holding back the one product that the market could get by itself, rather than focusing on providing new and different things that the market couldn't get and that the market actually wanted. However, without those fansubbers, much of the demand wouldn't even exist at all -- and to now blame them for not buying the late-to-market, seriously overpriced DVDs misses the point by a wide margin.

"The Americans have gone to the moon. And the Russians. The Chinese and Indians will go there soon. Africans are the only ones who are stuck here," Museveni said, addressing a meeting of the Uganda Law Society in Entebbe.
"We must also go there and say: 'What are you people doing up here?'"

NewCAJE in the Present
A generation of seasoned educators is interacting with a new generation of Jewish educators to formulate a vision for an organization that will move into the future with this and every new generation of educators. Some of the principles of the NewCAJE seem timeless:
- NewCAJE is a pluralistic organization which embraces every denominational division of Judaism.
- NewCAJE brings together all settings of Jewish education: day schools, complementary schools, camps, JCC's, independent schools and afterschool programs, online programs–just to name a few.
- NewCAJE welcomes anyone involved in the transmission of Jewish culture, custom and belief. We believe it is the responsibility of each generation to transmit the literature, ideas and ideals of Judaism to every new generation.
- NewCAJE include people in all job descriptions in the field including both professional and lay leaders: classroom teachers, youth group leaders, administrators, clergy, lay leaders, parents, artists, musicians, storytellers, entrepreneurs, authors, professors, etc. All these are teachers in our eyes and we believe that everyone has room to learn and something valuable to teach.
- NewCAJE advocates for Jewish education and for Jewish teachers as we have widely defined them.
- NewCAJE is a forum where new ideas are explored, new talent welcomed, and a multitude of ideas and resources shared.
- NewCAJE holds conferences annually. These conferences emphasize the sharing of information, techniques and problem solutions. They include the goal of deepening the educators grasp of both Jewish and educational learning. They create a network of support for Jewish educators and a conduit to innovation.
As NewCAJE moves into the future, it will continue to articulate timely new principles that will guide its vision, but one thing is clear: Jewish educators have a common love–our people, our heritage and our tradition of learning. And we all have a common dream–that we can somehow affect those most important to us–our students, their parents and the communities that we serve.
NewCAJE in the Past
The original CAJE was founded in 1976 and over the next 32 years change the landscape of Jewish education in the US and beyond.
It brought together more than 30,000 people to share ideas, learn from each other, and grow as educators. Every one of them went home and taught what they'd learned. In 32 years, conservatively speaking, over 600,000 children and adults were enriched because their teacher had been to CAJE.
CAJE strengthened us and made us proud to be doing the holy work of linking one generation to the next. It brought together amazing individuals who dedicated their lives to the Jewish people. It provided a path for innovation and best practices to spread from coast to coast. It inspired us, broadened our perspective and lifted our spirits. We in turn did the same for our students.
NewCAJE in the Future
NewCAJE will not be the same as CAJE. It is a NEW century and there are NEW demands on Jewish educators. There are NEW technologies and NEW approaches and NEW students and a NEW generation of educators. We will explore all of these alternatives with an open heart. The seasoned educators will both mentor and partner with talented emerging educators. NewCAJE is a NEW beginning for Jewish education. NewCAJE will ask NEW questions and find NEW solutions. That is what the New in NewCAJE stands for.

The Sims 2: Apartment Life |
The Sims 2: Apartment Life reviewReviewed November 05, 2008Jason Venter says: "Once you're happilyor unhappily, if art imitates lifedwelling within your humble abode, the differences don't necessarily stop. If you've moved into someone's apartment, they're not going to look kindly on you knocking down walls or making major renovations, so put such thoughts out of your head. Instead, you can focus on the usual things that have for so long been a staple of the series: interior decorating." |

Ok Guys and Gals... I need some advice
By cmiller5400
I have been a loyal AVG user for years (using the paid version for the AV / Firewall combo). In my experience with them I have never had a virus or malware infection on my computer. I just received a email from them as it is time to renew my protection. Like everyone else, they want even more money this year With money being so tight at this time, in doing some research, I ran across Comodo's products. Anyone have any experience with this software (either good or bad)? I can get 3 years for 3 pc's for $48 bucks. At AVG it is only 1 pc for 2 years for $72.
Or is there any other software you would recommend based on your personal experiences?
Thanks in advance!

Child Abuse |
I am a psychotherapist, LCSW, and have seen an adult woman who says her sister came to her bed for safety/comfort at ages less then five. I have seen a man whose four year older sister came to his bed for the same reasons. Both were upper middle class with distant, somewhat frightening parents. Both started sexual play-oral and manual. Both thought of it as loving and fun. Both have suffered as adults. I am not near any good libraries and can find nothing from the Web or colleagues. Is there any serious research on this? Any contact points?
I am not a therapist and cannot direct you to any pertinent literature. However, you may need to consider your reporting responsibilities if your clients are disclosing sexual abuse to you.

Getting my weak ass back to the gym! Rile me on!!
i'm looking forward to seeing how this treats you.
despite what everyones been saying i've not been able to get myself to buy into d.c. and rest pause sets... - 03-30-2009, 11:16 PM
a lot of determination! Possible other supps if money allows:
Sustain alpha
mods feel free to try and sell me your products, non hormonals only please! If I decide to go with any products a log will of course go up in this post! -
Thanks mate I was aware of such the natty supplements will defo be before the epi though, I really wanna try my pre workout with p-slin first XD. Also ive had a slight change of plan, rather than calculating all weights in one day I am simply going to find out my weights as I go with these first 2 weeks, then go for another 4 weeks of blasting while improving on them, I am gonna get that done before I go on any supps, then the next blast might get a little assistance . @ natty T I can see what why you would be sceptical about the rest pause sets mate, I personally was as first but now love them! the burn cannot be rivalled of using them for bench and rows.
I just don't see how lol.
i'm gonna have to give it a shot. maybe i'll try mixing it in some in my next routine here in a few weeks...
I just can't see how you get a pump...on max out days I never get a pump...infact i feel like i'm leaving the gym empty handed... - 03-31-2009, 03:08 PM
ye I do know how you feel with that sometimes, I seem to be incapable of getting a pump when I only do a 1 set, rest pausing though was kinda strange when I was doing DB rows I first was getting a normal mild pump for the first 8 reps the second I started the second go after the pause the pump got intense as hell and the burn was horrific (I loved it!) after the second pause the pump was getting to the point of painful as was the burn, that was the point when I fell in love with rest pausing and wanted to try DC XD
Hey guys, Ive only just got back to the forums and I really do apologie for the lack of updates, things have gone horrably wrong the last few days and Ive barely been able to keep up my diet, for this reason I made wednesday a normal training sessions and did back and bis and practiced the extreme back stretch (it hurt like hell so im guessing i did it right lol) So DC traning will be started on friday with the exception of the DB rows since I already did these, heres the template for the next workout
hey bro I would drop the epi. I read you are only 16. And although you may be responsible about it... your body could careless. Also try to get your strength and stuff up a bit more before introducing a designer. Just my opinions though.

Thankyou for the concern guys but right now I can truthfully say there is nothing to worry about! Right now I barely have the time to stand still and eat my meals (yes I mean stand not sit) Im most likely not even going to be using supplements apart from the staples inleast until the end of this blast, hopefully the next one will be assisted with some p-slin, so thats around 4 months before I even think of any more supps, lol i havent even though about it any more tbh honestly im taking things as they happen, ill thing about some more stuff in that time. Texas I respect your opinion and I thankyou for it. Natty thanks for the concern, everything is fine just busy I basically get no brakes throughout the day now so I really am eatin as I walk around, which is kinda hard to do when Im trying to shovel down brown rice! lol
erm dude as i put up in the post before hand I barely have the time to eat right now, my main concern for the forseable future is how to shovel enough brown rice and chicken breasts to grow lol
Hey guys, just did my workout and though id put up an update! was a good workout even though the gym was bloody boilin.
hahaha i have no idea how much weigh kg's are...
i'll have to look it up on google.
i'd add in some sweet potato's too man. mass for me=lots of brown rice, chicken, and sweet potatos' - 04-03-2009, 05:11 PM
hmm...bulk foods on a cheap.
you got the right idea with rice, if you get bored with that throw in red beans. (for protein)
whole wheat pastas
whole wheat bread (make sure it says whole wheat)
sams sells 10 pound things of peanut butter where i live for like 20 bucks...
tuna (which you have)
canned chicken (for on the go)
they sell ilttle white potato's in a can that are perfect powo.
lots of chicken.
get a roast (usually cheaper per pound to buy a big roast) and cut it like a steak, or thinner, and pan fry it with olive oil...
milk of course...
i'l try to think of more later - 04-04-2009, 02:13 PM
Canned chicken? ive honestly never heard of that but will have a look round for it certainly sounds hellishly convenient, Thanks for that list though natty it helps a lot, The idea of a roast is defenitly something I am going to do, sliced roast meat with some whole wheat bread (I do always use whole wheat) would be a good pre workout meal Milk is also something which im using a lot. I often use a glass of full fat milk before bed it and find it great for recovery and hormone support. Thanks for the advice mate!
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to natty texan again" - 04-04-2009, 05:13 PM
haha it's all good.
i've been doing some thinking.
oats. you can get those huge things of oats on the cheap.
flax, they have a huge thing of milled flax at my wal mart for 3.99
eggs, and egg beaters (i usually can't stomach eggs so i stay away from both)
cottage cheese
Build Muscle on a Budget: The 10 Cheapest Sources of Protein
Jun 25th, 2008 by Mehdi Posted in Nutrition
Cheap Protein to Build Muscle
Image credit: Danh TX
You need at least 1g protein per pound of body-weight per day to maintain and build muscle. If you weigh 70kg/155lbs, thats 155g protein per day. The easiest way to get this amount is to eat whole protein with each meal.
Some of you are on a tight budget, still student, living in expensive cities or just frugal. These can make it hard to get the protein you need to build muscle. This post will help you the 10 cheapest sources of protein to build muscle.
1. Canned Tuna. 40g protein/can. Buy tuna in spring water or brine. Dont worry about the mercury: 1 can chunk light tuna per day is safe, read this. Worry more about the mercury in your teeth fillings and the mercury in vaccines.
2. Whole Eggs. 7g protein/egg. Lower your body fat rather than throwing the yolk away if you have bad cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol isnt bound to blood cholesterol, and the yolk contains half the protein and vitamins A/D/E.
3. Whey. 1 scoop ON whey is 24g protein/30g serving. At 2 scoops/day, a 10lbs bag will last 10 weeks for 84,99$. You dont get cheaper than this. But dont rely on whey only because its cheaper. Vary your protein intake.
4. Ground Beef. 25g protein/100g. Buy 80% ground beef and rinse the fat if lean beef is too expensive. You can reduce the fat content by as much as 50%. Read this free pdf on how to rinse ground beef.
5. Milk. 30g protein/liter milk. If youre a skinny guy, want to gain weight fast and dont bother gaining some fat, drink 1 gallon raw milk per day. Dont worry about the saturated fat. Stay away from milk if you want to lose fat.
6. Frozen Chicken Breast. 25g protein/100g. Cook the frozen chicken breast using a George Foreman Grill. Consume the chicken breast within 2 months of freezing for optimal tenderness & taste.
7. Cottage Cheese. 12g protein/100g. Cottage cheese is more expensive in Europe than in the US. We buy Quark cheese: 10g protein per 100g, cheaper than cottage cheese and a better taste.
8. Ground Turkey. 25g protein/100g. Expensive cuts are made from turkey breast. Cheaper cuts can contain skin, which increases the fat content. Rinse the fat like for ground beef using this method.
9. Canned Mackerel. 23g protein/100g. Canned mackerel is high in omega-3, contains less mercury than canned tuna, and tastes a lot better too.
10. Calves Liver. 20g protein/100g. Low fat and nutrient dense. Contrary to what you might believe, liver is safe. Try one of these recipes. - 04-04-2009, 05:23 PM
Ive got me a real cheap cereal which I often use in place of oats, for some strange reason I never get full on the cereal (guessing its something do with the fruit or something) and I love it 2 bowls with full fat full milk is great for breakfast along with a chicken breast . I also love eggs, infact I just had 4 along with 2 sausages, bacon, beans and toast , Another good thing to do for cheap and convenient food is make some protein bars with peanut butter whey/casein and oats, I find them great and discreet especially since I often have to eat my pre workout discreetly during lessons
Ouch unlucky on that one mate. Im not genereally this bad tbh but I spent the entire day doing physical work and figured it couldnt hurt, the worst thing is now a few hours after eating that im starving hungry again gonna get some cereal and milk
Man, when I was 16 all I ate was xanax and junk after smoking blunts. You have some crazy determination bro. Props for that..
Mozilla/5.0 (Danger hiptop 4.7; U; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 - 04-06-2009, 12:47 AM
Yeah I fell off the wagon pretty hard around 16 due to not having a social life (too much sports). You're doing great, all that matters now is getting used to the rhythm and consistency of training/eating without falling apart after 6-8 months. It's like going to work every day, except your payment is good health
Just wish I had a forum like this to go to back then...coulda used some advice. - 04-06-2009, 06:01 AM
Thanks guys, I am determined to make this work, if I have to give up a few things now to make the future better then so be it.
Hey guys just got back from the gym! (got absolutly pissed on walking there and back)
My workout went really well apart from my quads which just couldnt bring myself to do, Id walked for an hour to the gym and got absolutly drenched in the rain and they just werent having it lol. Heres how everything else went:

Rihanna, 25, is channeling Marilyn Monroe on Instagram. In these two new photos, the singer can be seen posing as the late actress. On one picture, she wrote, "#isthisratchetenough?? #PouritupVideoshoot @badgalriri"
The picture was taken last weekend, but it is not the first time the singer has referenced the iconic 1950s sex symbol.
'Red lipstick, rose petals, heartbreak / I was his Marilyn Monroe,' she sings in her tune Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary on her latest album Unapologetic.

SANFORD, Fla. — Deputies say George Zimmerman's girlfriend accused him of pointing a shotgun at her during an argument at the home they shared in Florida.
Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said Monday during a press conference in Sanford that Zimmerman was charged with aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after the dispute.
Lemma says no one was hurt, and no one else was at the home when deputies arrived.
Deputies say Zimmerman had barricaded himself inside by wedging furniture against the door before officers arrived. His girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, was outside the home and gave deputies a key to get inside.
Lemma says once deputies got inside, Zimmerman did not resist and was not armed. He says investigators hope to search the home for any weapons.

Your Take: Comments on New York city schools banning 'loaded words' from testsBy Dan Merica, CNN Washington (CNN) – Anger boiled over in many of the comments on our recent post about the New York City Department of Education aiming to ban "loaded words," including "dinosaur" and "birthdays" from standardized school tests, many of them apparently over religious sensitivities: Others raised questions about whether eliminating these words on tests would just mean these words would offend people more in their day-to-day lives: Many extrapolated from the story to decry what they said was a larger problem with political correctness and censorship: Though few and far between, some people did support the measure, with caveats: And then there was this commenter: soundoff (276 Responses)

Registered forum members do not see this ad.
I just upgraded from ADT 2006 to Architecture 2010.
I Cant Array in "Edit in Elevation" in 2010. In 06 when arraying windows in wall (in "Edit in elevation") you select the window then select the position line (horz or vert) then pick the 2 points outside the array. Well, in 2010 it will not let me array horizontal but only vertical.
Is this a glitch, am I missing something, doing something wrong?
I wound up just dragging multiple windows out then using the "space evenly" command.
Has anyone else had this problem in Architecture 2010?

Well the UCS should set automatically when coming out of 2d/wireframe-top into "edit in elev"....that is the whole purpose of being able to "edit in elev" without having to go into side then have to rotate UCS in order to edit.....but to be honest I didnt even notice.
Matter of fact if the UCS werent set correctly, then I wouldnt have been able to drag them along "X" would I?...I dont know...I will have to check this out.
One more thing....I did rotate the house in different views after this in order to find out if the array acted similar and it did.

I have a few quick keys that will change the ucs back to world that i commonly unconciously hit when in an edit view. It will let you move things in the X direction which is actually the Y direction with the ucs set to world.
I tried it in 09 and it allowed me to array just fine. I do not have our copy of 2010 installed at home, So I might need to check the machines in the office and see if anyone has it installed there.

Long extends Spotland stay
Burnley, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Burnley centre-half Kevin Long is to remain on loan at Rochdale until the end of April.
The Irishman has been one of the Spotland club's best performers in a run of two wins and a draw in four games under new boss John Coleman that has seen Dale move off the bottom of npower League One.
The 21-year-old defender joined on an initial month-long loan in January but will now stay for the maximum 93-day period.
Rochdale will now have Long available for all but one of their games in their bid to avoid the drop.
Long spent the first half of the season on loan at Accrington under the guidance of then Stanley boss Coleman.

Today's Date: March 31, 2016
Dear Little Soya client, chef, consumer, lover of LS and all fans of our beloved soy sauce,
We have closed our business.
We do not have any Little Soya inventory here in the US - and we have no plans for continuing our soy sauce brand. It is with a very heavy heart we must announce the following: As of March 31, 2016, we have officially closed our company.
I know this is not the news you were expecting nor hoping to hear, and we didn't either. We tried, we did our best, we grew into 20 markets across the US, including Canada, Panama and Norway. However, even with our massive growth we were not able to continue our operations.
I want to take this moment to extend a personal and very sincere thanks to you for taking the time, effort and support to stand behind us for all these years. This was the single most difficult and agonizing decision that I've ever had to make over my 26 year business career. We tried every possible and conceivable option to avoid having to close our business, but in the end, it was the final and last resort.
I cannot express how deeply sorry I am to have to report this news to you. My team of Bill, Mike, Claudia, Crystal, Jason, HP and many others that have worked for us simply want to say how appreciative we are of your long time support.
I started Little Soya in 2008 with our very first client being Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. A couple years later my dear mother, Dolores, suggested to me, "Hey, if Las Vegas likes your soy sauce so much, maybe other restaurants will like it too?" At first I didn't think it would work but after about 300 hours of R&D, I determined this could work and that we could compete against the largest and oldest multi-billion dollar soy sauce brands in the world. And, we did it! We grew into a massive operation being sold to over 1000 restaurants, hotels, resorts, hospitals, universities, corporate kitchens and many others in all 4 corners of the USA, even being used by our U.S. astronauts on the International Space Station! Wow, that was a fun and awesome new client to land. In the end we were were distributed by all of the largest food distributors in the US, including Sysco, US Foods, Chefs Warehouse, Ben E Keith, BiRite, Shetakis, Nicholas and Company, Italco Food Products, C&M Distributors, Louisiana Foods and many, many others.
Hate to say it, but All Good Things Must Come To An End. That's where we are. At...
The End.
Sincere thanks to all of our investors, advisory board members, clients, chefs, distributors, consumer clients and everyone else who continually and constantly supported us.
And with Massive Love, Sincere Appreciation and Extreme Gratitude,
Gary T. Murphy (Founder, President & CEO) and our Entire Little Soya Team of
Bill, Mike, Claudia, Crystal, Jason, HP, Niki, Dolores Duran,
our CEO's Mom, Dolores M., Lil M and MANY, MANY others!

AWESOME pics guys!!
Was it hard to pack up your 200X stuff Scott?
Clawful has arrived at the Robzy residence...
As Pixel Dan would say: "It's comparison time..."
Comparison with "Buzz off" legs version...
And with "Skeletor" legs version... (This is the one I had when I was a kid)
With shield...

AWESOME pics guys!!
Was it hard to pack up your 200X stuff Scott?
Great set up Scott. What did you use for the Grayskull Door backdrop?
Very nice pictures Robzy. If you were going to quote Pixel Dan you could have also given us a "Hey Guys"
Good to see you back posting again
Not as hard as I thought it would be. As much as I LOVE the 200X line (and I do!), as the Classics line grows, it's more and more obvious that that it's the superior line. The 200X line, while the sculpts and detail are amazing, the paint apps and inconsistent figure sizes let them down.
That's my (lame) attempt at sculpting a castle face..

@ Scott and Robzy - wicked pics fellas! It's always nice to see other collectors displays. The orb stand is a nice touch. Can't wait for the Grayskull door to arrive! As for Clawful, i'm glad they went with Buzz-Off/Whiplash legs. I think it looks heaps better when in comparison with the vintage.
My Zodak & TJ turned up today. I bought Zodak for my MOC collection when he first came out but never had one for my loose collection. As for TJ, i have him MOC & loose but now i have Kronis too! Can't wait for MEF & Megator to show up next month.
Got my Captain Glenn today changed her straight to Marlena and the royal family is done!
MOTUC is my thing!
Pic, please DBF!! (I Love seeing your display!)
Thanks Frank! My orb holder was made by DaBigfella, and he also gave me the gold base that it's standing on! He's an amazingly generous guy!
Bit of both... The card insert was made and sent to me by our very own -TRaP-JaW-. I cut the bubble open at the bottom, pulled the card out, swapped the TJ/Kronis parts around, added the new name insert, and glued the new name and picture on the back.
I took a quick pic this morning before work:

Did you guys see the news article about Melendy Britt and Alan Oppenheimer appearing at Power-Con? They would be so cool to meet. Alans voice for Skeletor is the Skeletor Ill always deem No.1, and I dont think well ever get a better She-Ra. IMO Melendys She-Ra was perfect.
Hey guys.
I bought a Queen Marlena along with a couple of other SDCC items from ebay, and as I am an opener, I don't actually need the bio card or the insert saying "Marlena".
I don't know if that's of any use to anyone, but let me know and I can post them to you.
Otherwise, I'll bin them.
My new camera has arrived. Finally a decent camera to hopefully take decent photos. Now I will find out if my bad photos were a result of my last camera or if I am a bad photographer
I am going to be going crazy with MOTUC pictures as soon as the Grayskull Door arrives
That's awesome, glad to hear it!
They would be cool to meet, I wish they'd come here for one of our conventions, it'd arguably be better them than some of those others that they bring out. Agree with you about AO being the best Skele voice and MB as She-Ra. Her voice was a part of reason i liked She-Ra. Sad but true...
Getting in on the photo's, here are some:
Kronis with Capt. Glenn's rifle...
'Battleground Capt. Glenn Teela'...
Sister's in arms...

Awhile ago I started a diorama project of a Stone Wall. I have now finally finished it.
Here are some pics;
Here it is in action;
Amazing pics Fallen!! That camera is paying for itself already!!
Nice pics Frank, that last pic really shows how cheap Marlena's eye's look. Argh! Damn Mattel!

Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering if there were any other people who ordered from the Matty Post-SDCC-Sale, but not received a Shipping Confirmation email from Digital River, yet? My order still says order in Process almost two weeks after it was placed, with a new sale day just over 24 hours a way, I am beginning to wonder. Thank you in advance for any replies.
Take Care,
Mattel please, buy the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons from Entertainment Rights. If you owned Both Filmation related "MotU" cartoons, plus "NA" and "MYP" cartoons, you would be able to distribute any or all 4 cartoons to Television in the lead up to another relaunch or a live action movie. Plus, you could include Filmation and "NA" animated characters in "MotU:C"!
Long Live 'MOTU'!
Hi Darren, im in the same boat, no confirmation as of yet, very disappointing.
Evil Army of the Horde!!
I got mine the other day, but it was the slowest ever.
I have been trying out taking photos with my new camera, working on lighting and what not. I'm a bit frustrated because I just can't get my photos looking good like other people's.
Here is a few I have taken today;
And here is my LBC, lazy ******* custom;
Fabulor - Eternian Stylist (I don't know which head to go with, any suggestions?)

Cheers Scott. Yep, the comparison speaks for itself
Really nice diorama TF, i like the added effect with moss in-between the stones look. How long did it take you to sculpt the stones/wall? Also, your pics look really good too, how did you get the effect with Scareglow in terms of the blurred background and clear foreground? I can't seem to do that yet
Thanks for the nice words.
The stones took about 4 hours or so. I wanted them to be uniform but they ended up like this. I think it still looks okay.
The Scareglow pics were inspired by Alexx and someone else from the boards. I made my focus point on the reliquary which gave me the blurred background look.
Lorde Trooper, I am sorry to hear that. I hope we both receive our shipping confirmation and more importantly, our figures very soon. retcon, did you receive your shipping confirmation the other day, or your actually Matty order? Is anyone else waiting for a shipping confirmation from the August 1st, Post SDCC Sale?

It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a "socialist." He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard definition of socialism. What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector. Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama's point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time. Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague. Thus the Obama administration can arbitrarily force insurance companies to cover the children of their customers until the children are 26 years old. Obviously, this creates favorable publicity for President Obama. But if this and other government edicts cause insurance premiums to rise, then that is something that can be blamed on the "greed" of the insurance companies. The same principle, or lack of principle, applies to many other privately owned businesses. It is a very successful political ploy that can be adapted to all sorts of situations. One of the reasons why both pro-Obama and anti-Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing notion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left. Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely and correctly regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s. Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left. It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs. What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people like themselves need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat. The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People..." That is why the left has for more than a century been trying to get the Constitution's limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges' new interpretations, based on notions of "a living Constitution" that will take decisions out of the hands of "We the People," and transfer those decisions to our betters. The self-flattery of the vision of the left also gives its true believers a huge ego stake in that vision, which means that mere facts are unlikely to make them reconsider, regardless of what evidence piles up against the vision of the left, and regardless of its disastrous consequences. Only our own awareness of the huge stakes involved can save us from the rampaging presumptions of our betters, whether they are called socialists or fascists. So long as we buy their heady rhetoric, we are selling our birthright of freedom. |
As usual Thomas Sowell nails it - fascism is exactly right to describe Obama's current political philosophy. However, I think that he doesn't prove up that this is an interim step - Obama's political philosophy to get elected is fascist, but in his heart he's a Marxist.
His analysis of Obama's tactics is spot-on!
Please add me to your ping list.
I never saw fascism as a construct of the right despite attempts by historians to foist it on us. It's just another finger on the left hand of totalitarianism (along with Socialism, Naziism and all the various incarnations of Communism). Right is freedom FROM totalitarianism and statist government.
I have been reading Mr. Sowell for years and this article is one of his best. Not only does he have a God-given gift to understand issues, he also has a talent to verbalize his thoughts w/clarity.
One of Sowell's best efforts!
He has Obama nailed shut.
Welcome to the Sowell ping list, you're on.
I'm glad to see Tom finally caught up with me on this topic!
Brilliant (as usual). Why isn't he running for president?
I'd salute this tribute to our Facist in Chief
Excellent, not a word to add!
Obama is a fascist, just for the reasons noted. That said, I describe him as a socialist, not as a fascist, because so few people understand what a fascist actually is.
Of course, the government owned GM and Chrysler certainly are examples of national socialism.
There is a great article on Ludwig Von Mises concerning National Socialism, I've posting it here for a long time, way before the book Sowell mentions.
Absolutely on-target. Sowell is just amazing in his ability to nail these things. I've totally given up on so many so-called "conservative" columnists and commentators these past three years, having lost all faith and trust in them, but thankfully, Sowell has remained as rock-solid as ever!
"so few people understand what a fascist actually is."
It always bothers me when todays leftists (who are facist) call conservatives like Reagan and Goldwater fascists. If a person is not a socialist and believes in free market capitalism that person cannot be fascist. What I hate most about the elitists of the left is how arrogant and ignorant they are.
Agreed, they crossed my mind also.
To be fair, this is also the assumption of the Right. By which I mean the European Right, which has almost nothing in common with the American Right.
The European Right was authoritarian, but with the authority in question being the State, King and/or Church. It looked back to pre-French Revolution days as their ideal.
The American Right is dedicated to conserving the values of the American Revolution, the only truly revolutionary such event in history.
The European Right and Left, as well as the American Left, all believe some small group must dominate society and force everybody else to comply with their demands. The only difference is who that small group is.
Only the American Right believes the People should be left alone to live their lives as they see fit, to the extent possible.
If you use the One Ring in the Lord of the Rings as a symbol of domination of society, the only difference between the European Right and Left, and the American Left, is who should wear the Ring. Only the American Right wants to destroy the Ring.
Thanks for the link. bookmarked
It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs.
Maybe some of the historians among us can educate us on what exactly it was that turned the tide on Fascism.
I certainly was not the persecution of the Jews. Nearly every European nation had a history of Jew hatred.
The only thing I can think of is Germanys retaking of territories and colonies that it had ceded after WW I.
The mistake I think the Fascist made was that they did not close their borders as the Soviets did. The control of information in the Fascist states was not as complete. Also it seems that the western journalist were more sympathetic to the international socialist. The western intellectuals also seem more attuned to the idea of a complete command economy.
Yesssssss. Right on the mark again. Thanks for the ping jaz.
Enjoy reading Dr. Sowell articles. He brings up items of interest, and knowledgeable discussion, as well reminds us of items that sometimes slip from our thoughts.
Dr. Sowell keeping us focused. GREAT!
Sowell makes a clear and strong case, as usual.
I have one small quibble - it was specifically Hitler's betrayal of Uncle Joe that made him a "right winger"; up to that point he was fawned over by the left. But Uncle Joe was the major diety in the pantheon of the utopians. Hitler and Il Duce were, at the time, only revered demi-gods, who, much like the Biblical story, rebelled against their great god, Uncle Joe, and were then cast into the pits of hell - as far from the leftist utopian heaven as possible and are now cast as the Leftists' great satans in their grand, immoral, morality play.
These specifics are not at odds with Sowell's explanation, I just wish he would clearly point out that it was their love for that pompadoured murderer that finally made the left decry Hitler and his murderous ways - it wasn't the murdering to which they objected.
" The western intellectuals also seem more attuned to the idea of a complete command economy. "
That's because they all believe that it will be *they*, personally, who will be doing the 'commanding'....
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people like themselves need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.Excellent.
I would put it differently. Obama is clearly a socialist, in terms of his goals and world outlook. Fascism is a form of socialism. Ultimately, Obama would prefer the Soviet Stalinist model of state ownership of everything to the Italian/Nazi model. However, he cannot overturn private property rights in the US in one fell swoop. So, he takes control of private industries as best he can in his first term. That begins to resemble fascism. But he is a commie through and through, with Islamic tendencies.
I think the tide might have turned in WWII when Hitler broke the treaty with Stalin and attacked Russia. Not that Stalin would not have done the same thing if the roles were reversed, but Stalin survived, Hitler did not, and history is written by the winners.
Thanks. I will.
We always knew.
T.Sowell Bump.
Clear as a bell.
He has no heart. Not part of his narcissistic personality disorder. He was molded and used by Marxist, who knew how to take advantage of the personality disorder. If and when his Marxist mentors lose control of him, the world will pay a very big price. That is probably why they have him sedated most of the time now and he rarely makes any sense what so ever.
Works better than a voting booth and more permanent as well.
I like my definition better anyway: "Fascist, Neo-Commie."
Obamas political philosophy to get elected is fascist, but in his heart hes a Marxist.
"Communism and fascism are the ultimate Marxist competitors." - America's 30 Years War: Who Is Winning? - Balint Vazsonyi
You're right. "Fascist" packs no punch in our time. If you tell someone that Hitler was a Fascist, they're likely to retort that Obama doesn't want to kill Jews.
Socialism has many forms and names. They all result in enslavement of the citizens.
Both. In the vernacular socialist means " sharing the wealth". Under that definition there can be no doubt that Obama is socialist as well as fascist.
Write your mayor, Congressa$$hole, or Senator. Only elected persons can do it.
2.) Fascist, socialist, Marxist, Stalinist.
All of the above. To paraphrase the Bard, "A turd by any other name would smell as sweet."
When I read a biography of Mussolini, I was astounded at the colossal ego that the man had. Mussolini once held 8 portfolios in his government. He was totally incompetent at all of them. Fast forward to this Administration--and you get authors claiming that Obama thinks he knows more than his advisers.
The Road to Serfdom
(Link to the Readers' Digest Condensed Version in PDF!)
I once saw a movie set in an Ottoman palace, wherein two counselors to the Sultan see two young princes going at each other. I always think about it in reference to the difference between fascism and socialism, because one counselor says to the other, They fight as only half-brothers can."
On April 28 1945, at the Piazzale Loreto in Milan, Benito Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci were shot and hanged in a spectacle
The only true solution for infestations of leftists.
I was banned from the Reader supported news forum for suggesting that shooting a far left radical should be classified self defence. That post had over 300 thumbs down before they removed it. I was bounced by a Marc Ash, is that the famous Ash from early Free Republic history?
But Zer0 is an international fascist.
I so heartily agree with you. The case I make with leftist idiots is as follows: What did the Tea Party represent: Smaller, limited government. What does conservatism represent? Smaller, limited government. Now, what kind of government has the power to impose a specific philosophical ideology upon an entire populace with no resistance? NOT a smaller, limited government...
I lose most of them at "Tea".
What is the evidence that Obama is actually a communist rather than a fascist?
First, I have no doubt that Obama is behaving as a fascist now. He uses crony corporatism to the hilt.
However, his associations of the past peg him as a communist. Bill Ayers, the organizing committees of his Chicago street years, and the ideas he incorporated from his father would cause me to peg him as a communist rather than a fascist.
I imagine he despises his corporate hosts, that he really does hate the rich (who aren't him) and that he would rather be the lone cock on the rock rather than a partner with a yard full of bantams.
Romney, on the other hand, is a full social corporatist and proud of his ties to other elites like himself.
