groups and organizations
A loose group of those obsessed by, in thrall to or otherwise in love with fiddle music of ALL kinds - north-south-east and west!
Our Motto " if you do not play your ax with other people it will end up in the closet"
Who we are : The Pickoids
Not a band just a group of individual artists that do not have time to be in a band or perform very much live. We provide an outlet for your talents with:
Weekly Jam sessions (average 10 musicians)
Recording sessions
Production of cds with our music on it.
Occasional live performances mostly for no money.
Web site to show our pictures, music and video
An emailing list ( Strings) to communicate with other musicians weekly
The Folk Song Society of Greater Boston is a non-profit organization of people interested in folk music: its traditional origins and sources and its current expressions. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for everyone to make, enjoy, and support this music. Membership in the Folk Song Society offers you reduced admission to FSSGB concerts, attendance at singing parties and special events, a free subscription to the Folk Letter, and regular announcements of FSSGB events.
Community Guitar is a ten year old program in Northamption, MA (US) that teaches students how to play guitar in group settings rather than teaching them to play alone. If you want to play with others but don't yet have the nerve or the repertoire this is a way to start.
The OFGC sponsors area jams and lists them on their site, along with a host of other area information.
The Original Michigan Fiddlers Association was formed in 1976 with the goal of encouraging and bringing about a greater interest in fiddle music activities throughout the state of Michigan. The OMFA also encourages the collection and preservation of fiddle music along with an appreciation of our musical history. (from their site)
The PBHS runs several weekly jams in Vancouver, Canada. Visit their jams page for more information.
The SouthEastern Bluegrass Association (SEBA) has a very well done site that provides information on jam sessions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. They also have a very good database of festivals from around the country, forums, news on bluegrass music in their region and a links repository.
The California Traditional Music Society (CTMS) is dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of traditional Folk Music, dance and related folk arts of America's diverse cultural heritage by broadening public involvement with Folk Music. (from their about page)
Looking for a little bluegrass picking in Scotland? Visit the web site of the Scottish Bluegrass Association, which exists to promote bluegrass musicians across Scotland. They list picking sessions in a few cities too, so do check out their listings.

Hypercoagulation, or thrombophilia, may be defined as reduced capillary blood flow or a greater tendency than normal for blood to coagulate, or clot. Of approximately 900 borreliosis patients that I tested, 90 percent had hypercoagulation. Comparatively, only five percent of the general healthy population has hypercoagulation, due to infections.
Two major aspects of hypercoagulation are infections and hereditary or genetic abnormalities. Chronic infections such as borreliosis, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, human herpes virus 6 and mycoplasma have all been associated with hypercoagulation. These infections appear to be the driving force behind the greater tendency to form blood clots. Infections may elevate levels of fibrinogen, fibrin, thrombin/antithrombin complexes, fragment 1+2, and Factor II (prothrombin) activity which may decrease capillary blood flow.
When you get a cut, the fibrinogen in your blood converts into fibrin, which in turn forms a mesh to create a blood clot to help stop the bleeding. Antithrombin binds to thrombin to form a complex to prevent thrombin from causing blood to clot. Antithrombin protects against too much clotting, when it binds thrombin.
When thrombin is forming a clot it produces fragment 1+2. Prothrombin (Factor II) converts into thrombin, which causes blood to clot. When these coagulation components are high, it indicates that the blood has a greater tendency to clot and may inhibit blood circulation in capillaries.
Inherited or genetic disorders may also predispose to blood clotting. Some of these hereditary defects include antithrombin activity deficiency, protein C activity deficiency, protein S activity deficiency, Factor II gene mutation, APC resistance (Activated Protein C resistance is also called Factor V Leiden deficiency), elevated lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a), elevated PAI-1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibiter-1), and elevated homocysteine. Hereditary hypercoagulation test panels are abnormal in 66 percent of borreliosis patients, as opposed to about 30 percent of the general healthy population.
Treatment for hypercoagulation caused by infections is heparin, which is a blood thinner. Typically, heparin is given subcutaneously (under the skin) by injection twice a day in low doses for not more than nine months. It can also be compounded into a troche that dissolves in the mouth, but that is usually more expensive and is often less effective than injections.
Symptoms that improve with heparin are pain, fatigue, cognitive problems and neurological problems. About 80 percent of borreliosis patients feel better with heparin, and it has been a safe treatment so far. One patient did develop bleeding from the rectum, but then a colonoscopy revealed a colon cancer that had not yet spread to the local lymph nodes. In other words, the heparin unmasked a hidden malignancy, so in this case the side effect was a blessing.
Heparin is not only a blood thinner, it is also anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and may even be anti-cancer (unproven). Therapy with heparin usually lowers the level of the coagulation components fibrinogen, fibrin, thrombin/antithrombin complexes, fragment 1+2 and Factor II activity. This is desirable, because elevated levels of these coagulation components can cause decreased capillary blood flow, if they are high enough. Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that are about eight microns wide. A normal red blood cell, which travels through the capillaries, is about seven microns wide. When elevation of coagulation components occur, they could conceivably attach to the inside surface (endothelial surface) of capillaries, thereby narrowing them. For example, fibrinogen attached to the inside surface could make it harder for a seven-micron-wide red blood cell to squeeze through the narrowed capillary. Reduced blood flow in capillaries would in turn reduce oxygen and nutrients, and reduce removal of toxins from tissues. It stands to reason that if heparin could improve blood flow, antibiotics and hormones would be more effective because they could pass through capillaries easier.
Life is in the blood. Less blood flow means less "life," and possibly more symptoms and diseases -- perhaps even death.
Hypercoagulation is associated with other chronic diseases, not just borreliosis. It is my opinion that how hypercoagulation is treated will become a paradigm shift in medicine, once further research has been accomplished.

Email Your Representative About Fair Elections
The Fair Elections Now Act would allow candidates for Congress to choose voluntary public financing instead of getting bankrolled by big corporate interests. More than 125 representatives have signed on to sponsor this important bipartisan legislation, but that means more than 300 need a nudge from their constituents to put voters first.
Enter your ZIP Code below to find out where your representative stands on this critical reform. If he or she has not yet signed on, ask your representative to support the Fair Elections Now Act. If your representative is already a co-sponsor, send a quick thank you.
Please take a moment to add some of your own words to the email below. This greatly increases the likelihood that your message will make a difference!

Hi beauties:
I know it has been a minute since I last did a style post but life has been taking over....surely you can understand right? My apologies....
Last Friday, I attended the annual Island Air Luxury Party and I thought I would do a quick post showing you what I wore. This is my 3rd year attending and it is the largest, exclusive private party on the island. This year's event attracted a whopping 1,500 attendees and the night was epic.
Get the Look:
Jumpsuit- Here (it's on sale too!!)
Necklace- One of a kind piece from Mali Jewelry, Chicago

In our research we study the overtone spectra of small and medium sized molecules in the gas phase to explore the dynamics of highly vibrationally excited species. We are particulary interrested in possible photochemical processes initiated via overtone excitation and in possible atmospherical implications of such processes.
We use near infrared tuneable diode lasers and supersonic jet expansions to measure spectra with simplified rotational structure at very high spectral resolution.
We target small to medium size polyatomic molecules, such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) or methanol (CH3OH) to track, how the complexity of overtone vibrational spectra changes with size of the absorbing species.

Hulu has no doubt become a source of entertainment for people who do not find time to watch television shows, since it allows them to watch the shows at any time they want to without having to record it on a DVR.
Few of the most famous shows on Hulu have been from Comedy Central, including The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. However, sadly Hulu has not been able to renew their deal with Comedy Central, and these shows along with other Comedy Central shows will be taken off from Hulu on March 9th, 11:59PM.
This is definitely bad news as many people including me were hooked on to these shows and will definitely miss them. However, as a user you can still watch The Colbert Report and The Daily Show online by visiting ColbertNation.com and TheDailyShow.com respectively.
Are you been a Comedy Central fan? Did you watch these shows on Hulu? Do let me know through your comments.

What about tipping in Guatemala?
According to TripAdvisor.com you should tip a similar amount as you would in the U.S. Hotel staffs appear particularly appreciative of good tippers, and you are likely to get especially good service in return. If bills in restaurants include the word "propina" that is the tip, i.e., it has been included. If you want to pay more, go ahead.
The tipping to get a good service is a wrong attitude that twists the perception of the locals about where is the value of the service they should be delivering. So, it is not advised.

This is the sixth year of an on-going initiative to migrate to e-only format journals that we currently purchase in print and online. Scroll down for lists (spreadsheets) of affected titles. This migration effort developed out of several concerns the Emory libraries face:
- the crisis faced in providing space/housing print collections;
- the high cost of maintaining print subscriptions (from processing to the amortization of a library building);
- the preference of users (especially in the sciences and many of the social sciences) for eJournals over print.
In 2012, we are considering a wide array of titles for which we are still retaining a print subscription.
Faculty and librarians have both reviewed lists to determine which titles we should maintain in print. A libguide has been created to reivew the process and procedures.
In 2011, we are focusing upon the following publishers:
American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
American Society of Microbiology
ElsevierS Karger AG
SCROLL to the bottom of the page for a list of our recommendations for e-only journal access.
See the spreadsheet below for the specific titles. Note that the tabs on each spreadsheet correspond to different subject areas.
Comments on the Moving Beyond Paper initiative and our decisions are welcome at all times. Please make specific comments or recommendations for the 2011 installment of Moving Beyond Paper by April 1.
In 2010, we are focusing upon the following publishers:
Allerton Press
Guilford Publications
Royal Society of Chemistry
American Physical Society
Wiley-Blackwell (review)
Various other medical science publishers
A Systematic Review
Emory librarians completed a systematic review of approximately 480 journals offered by these publishers to determine the appropriate format for these titles. A spreadsheet with these titles and decisions for e-only is attached below. Print copies of these journals will no longer be received beginning January 2011.
Before we consider a title for e-only format, several conditions must be met, ranging from assurances that the content online meets or exceeds that in print, to archival rights which grant perpetual access to the volumes/years subscribed. In making recommendations library staff also have taken into consideration the usage of the journal or book (both in print and electronic formats) and the usability of the content.
In 2009, titles from the following publishers were considered for e-only:
- American Geophysical Union
Cambridge University Press
Oxford University Press
Taylor & Francis
University of Chicago Press.
In 2008, titles from the following publishers were considered for e-only:
- Nature
Project Muse
Springer eBook Series
In 2007, titles from the following publishers were considered for e-only:
- BioOne
In 2006, titles from the following publishers were considered for e-only:
- Elsevier
Springer (incorporating Kluwer)

School Daze
So, I have started back at school.
I haven't been in school (besides navy classes) since… wait for it…
ugh. almost 15 years.
So here was my schedule:
Elementary Calculus
Intro to Lit (b/c for some strange reason my world lit class didn't transfer over?)
Accounting I (b/c yet again – my class didn't transfer)
Environmental Science – ONLINE!!
that's a rough schedule. . . even for someone who has been in school more recently than 15 years…
and calculus?? I was very nervous… and it was warranted – I looked over the homework and there was just no way – the highest math I took in college was College Algebra.
and that — was in 1997. my very first semester of college.
so, I picked up Precalculus – I debated taking College Algebra again – but then I would still have to take some kind of calculus intro course – so precalc combines calculus AND algebra (according to the description online) so … I took it – and most teachers in college don't do a whole lot on the first day – go over the syllabus and whatnot … well this teacher dove straight in and so when I showed up on the second day of class I almost cried, and walked out, and just dropped the class entirely… but I thought about how I only have a limited time frame to do my courses and to start the next phase of schooling (getting into the business college to actually focus on my degree)
So I stayed and struggled and tried to understand what she was saying…
that was Friday… I had a quiz do on Sunday night – with no ability to get tutoring in between… I did ok on the quiz, but I went through every question and did the example question with it so that I had an inkling of how to even perform what the question was asking…
I thought that not having to work would make things easier, and while that's infinitely true (I'd be seriously, quite literally dying if I was working full time right now) it's still pretty difficult to get into the swing of things. . . make sure that everything at home is taken care of, get my homework done, do the required readings, and ya know – live my life still, spend time with my husband… all that normal day to day stuff… add to the fact that our house is still a cluttered mess – it's kind of stressful… I don't have a designated spot to do my homework, yesterday I was doing it in our closed off room, but while it worked environmentally; it didn't work physically; b/c I was on the floor and it just was not conducive to comfort. I finished yesterday's homework at the kitchen table while husband watched tv in the living room… which wasn't bad, but he kept wanting to share things with me, so it was a bit distracting…
we'll see how it goes…
a story about today's class.
we got put into groups. and I must mention – I am the oldest person in any of my classes, there *might* be someone close to my age – {or at least older than the rest – or he could have just looked rough} in my accounting class. so bearing that in mind – groups. they were teacher picked – through a system she created. I was grouped with 3 18-year-old girls.
I'm. Not. Lying.
So the instructor says to exchange phone numbers – and this should be a super chance to go against her rules of having your phone out in class. none of them reached for their phones, they all just sat there staring off into space… I said well, shall we exchange numbers then?? and they all in some way or another responded yes… so I said well; I'm not dragging my phone out, but I'll write them down for myself… so they each gave me their number, but no one else bothered to write anything down, or get their phones out or anything… this bothers me… these people are going to be in my group for the rest of the semester and already they're showing pure laziness… I will NOT be the one to carry the group. I will do MY work – and if they don't like it – then they need to show the fuck up… and if I get screwed on a grade b/c of them – best believe they will hear about it. . .
we'll see how it goes!!
wish me luck.

I went to spend a couple of days with my sister while her husband took the two older boys to the beach, and while I was checking out their pantry (I can be nosy that way) I made a horrible, no good, very bad discovery. There, on the center shelf, were TWO JARS of a chocolate spread ... the FAKE brand ... the knock-off ... the Nutella-wannabe.
But wait. It gets even worse. It seems that my nephew was responsible; he saw them on sale and convinced his mom (my SISTER!) to buy them.
Well. I'm his auntie. I just had to set him straight.

It was with incredulity that I learned from the front page of last week's Advertiser that our Conservative County Council, not content with totally ignoring a survey which showed 93 per cent of respondents to be against Sunday parking charges, now proposed to increase on street charges by upwards of 25 per cent.
Coun Mackenzie, the elected member responsible for highways, is quoted as saying: "There has to be an incentive to use Harrogate Borough Council's car parks because at the moment it is the same price to park on-street as it is off-street."
Well, shock horror, what an appalling situation.
Did it not occur to Coun Mackenzie that there was an alternative solution to correct this affront to the natural order and that would be to reduce the prices in Harrogate's off-street car parks?
Of course, Coun Mackenzie is not only a member of North Yorkshire County Council but also a member of the ruling Conservative group on Harrogate Borough Council, a group that has been singularly silent in protecting the interests of their residents in this respect.
It seems to me that Coun Mackenzie may have a conflict of interest on this issue .
There is one redeeming feature to this announcement – it seems that the county council are not going to consult the public on this issue. At least they won't be spending our money on a public consultation exercise just to ignore the result.
If all this makes readers despair, then just remember that Coun Mackenzie and his "tax the motorist" enthusiastic friends are up for election next May.
I would suggest that however readers vote, that they think very hard about just how the current bunch have represented their interests.

Tips On How To Make International Dating/ Marriages Work
International dating can be very daunting at first. A lot of people are afraid to try this because they are aware that a long distance relationship is very difficult. However there are a lot of strong marriages today because of international dating. Yes, you read that one right, there are a lot of people who made this work. Allow me to share with you some helpful tips to maintain a strong relationship despite being separated by thousands of miles.
1. Planning is crucial- communication is the key to maintain a strong relationship with
latin mail order brides
. It is a very good idea to plan a web cam date with your partner every now and then. Doesn't matter what you do, you can eat together, tell stories, play games, watch movies and many others, what's important here is that you spend time with each other. The best way to show our love to our partner is by sharing our time with them.
2.The little things matter- even though writing letters is a thing of the past, it is still a good idea to make love letters for your partner. Surprise them by doing the little things, send them a letter, send them a meaningful card, or any simple gifts. If you think letters are old, you can still make a slideshow of pictures and even a video that proves how much you love them. Remember that the little things we do becomes a huge difference.
3. Always be passionate when you see each other- being excited to receive and send messages to your partner makes up for the physical distance you have. It is always a good idea to talk to your partner whenever you feel down. Never allow your partner to be sad, do your best to lift up each other's spirits.
4. Never end a day fighting- never prolong arguments and conflicts. Always do your very best to fix the relationship such as with
thai mail order brides
before you go to bed. The effort you put in a relationship will benefit you in the long run.
We are very fortunate to live in a world where technology has been very beneficial for us. Let us take advantage of the technology we have today and conquer long distance relationships. There are a lot of ways we can communicate with our significant other. With the right attitude and technology, we can make international dating and marriages work.

Ten Things a Hindu Can Do When Using English Language
Hindus meaning the people of the Indian Subcontinent have been severely challenged over the past 1400 years. The region has been invaded and a great deal of their culture distorted or destroyed. The land we call India today is a remnant of the ancient Hindustan that stretched from Burma (Myanmar) to Persia.
It is from this broad region that language, ideology, numbers and our sciences originated. All these things have been taken around the world and used for divergent purposes yet the Hindu origins have been sidelined, derided and even despised.
1400 years of destruction have left India battered and bruised, its people disconnected from their roots but there is a movement's, a ground swell seeking to reconnect and recreate what was the world's first greatest culture. This is not a militaristic empire, it's a culture of respect for life and bringing out the best of what is to be human by leading a dharmic lifestyle and learning from the wisdom of the ancestors.
Many modern Hindus and particularly those well educated are infected by a psychological disease of disowning their heritage and mispronouncing the ancient names of their ancestors. Hindus need to learn all over again that the land we call India today and it's reaches constituted the worlds first great civilisation which is something to be immensely proud and respectful of.
To my Hindu friends and readers:
1. Please stop using the word "God fearing" - Hindus never ever fear God. For us, God is everywhere and we are also integral part of God. God is not a separate entity to fear.
2. Please do not use the meaningless term "RIP" when someone dies. Use "Om Shanti", "Sadgati" or "I wish this atma attains moksha". Hinduism neither has the concept of "soul" nor its "resting". The terms "Atma" and "Jeeva" are, in a way, antonyms for the word "soul".
3. Please don't use the word "Mythology" for our historic epics (Itihas) Ramayana and Mahabharata. Rama and Krishna are historical heroes, not just mythical characters.
3. Please don't be apologetic about idol worship and say "Oh, that's just symbolic". All religions have idolatry in kinds or forms - cross, words, letters (calligraphy) or direction. Also let's stop using the words the words 'idols', 'statues' or 'images' when we refer to the sculptures of our Gods. Use the terms 'Moorthi' or 'Vigraha'. If words like Karma, Yoga, Guru and Mantra can be in the mainstream, why not Moorthi or Vigraha?
4. Please don't refer to Ganesh and Hanuman as "Elephant god" and "Monkey god" respectively. You can simply write Shree Ganesh and Shree Hanuman.
5. Please don't refer to our temples as prayer halls. Temples are "devalaya" (abode of god) and not "prathanalaya" (Prayer halls).
6. Please don't wish your children "black birthday" by letting them to blow off the candles that kept at the top of the birth day cake. Don't throw spit on the divine fire (Agni Deva). Instead, ask them to pray: "Oh divine fire, lead me from darkness to light" (Thamasoma Jyotirgamaya) by lighting a lamp. These are all strong images that go to deep psyche.
7. Please avoid using the words "spirituality" and "materialistic". For a Hindu, everything is divine. The words spirituality and materialism came to India through evangelists and Europeans who had a concept of Church vs State. Or Science vs Religion. On the contrary, in India, Sages were scientists and the foundation stone of Sanatan Dharma was Science.
9. Please don't use the word "Sin" instead of "Papa". We only have Dharma (duty, righteousness, responsibility and privilege) and Adharma (when dharma is not followed). Dharma has nothing to do with social or religious morality. 'Papa' derives from Adharma.
10. Please don't use loose translation like meditation for "dhyana" and 'breathing exercise' for "Pranayama". It conveys wrong meanings. Use the original words.
11. Hindus should also stop adding an "a" at the end of every Hindi/Sunskrit word to sound educated or Westernized. The examples are Ram, Shiv, Ganesh, Arjun, Mahabharat, Ramayan, Keral, Yog, Ved, Puran, ..........
Has anyone ever seen a Muslims calling Ida, Id-ul-Fitara, Masjida, Muhammada, Huja, Paigambara, Qurana, Lahora, ....... or a Christian calling Jesusa, Christmasa, Thomasa, Toma, Londana, Oxforda, .....
Courtesy Utsaav Koul.
Remember, the world respects only those who respect themselves!
Please circulate so that people can understand about their Hindu Dharma....

Product 22/30
Goldwing Express is made up of Three Native American brothers and their father. A segment of their performance is dedicated for their Indian Heritage. Each Brother wears his very own Native American Headdress which represents the Creek Indian Tribe from which their Mother is from. This family music show comes from Okmulgee, Oklahoma. Now the family resides in Branson, Missouri producing their own music show along with many appearances throughout the United States and into Canada.
Bob Baldridge, the father plays mandolin and sings lead for the group. He also does a lot of the comedian work for Goldwing Express. His music career began early when he and his Brothers and Sister sang in the early 70's and 80's. The family would gather at Grandmothers house and have all day singing's. Bob wanted to form his own family band shortly after.
Along came Paul, Steven, and Shawn.
Paul is the eldest son. He sings high tenor and plays the guitar for Goldwing Express. Paul does more of the traditional bluegrass singing for the group. Paul has won several awards throughout his career.
Steven is the middle age son, who sings mostly baritone and plays the banjo. Steven loves to put Gospel music in the show and wows the crowd with his traditional sounds on the banjo. He is also responsible for the management of Goldwing Express.
Shawn is the youngest Brother, he plays the upright bass fiddle and sings all the low end notes. Crowds gather to here Shawn sing songs like "Hello Darlin", "Lay you down", and "Long Black Train". He likes to spice things up a little bit by sounding off a long train whistle from his voice!
Their Mother was a full blood Native American Creek Indian from Oklahoma. Along with Bob, they both decided to buy instruments for the boy's. Twenty five years later, they are headlining most Bluegrass Festivals and various styles of concerts around the United States.
The name Goldwing Express came from their Mother. We used to ride Honda Gold Wing's in the late 80's. That's when Mom decided to name us the "Goldwing Express".
The family also performs in Branson, Missouri throughout the year. This year we'll average over 250 show dates across the country. We travel Nation Wide in a 2004 Entertainer Prevost Coach. Goldwing Express is all about entertaining folks. We love and strive to make folks happy when they come to see Goldwing Express in concert.
This product was added to our catalog on Saturday 19 July, 2014.

Two Main Types of Dog Fencing
You can't keep your eyes on your dog for the whole day, especially with all other daily tasks you need to do. You wanted to secure your little pets in a safe place inside your house, thus you probably consider putting up dog fencing for him. But before you pay for the first one you see, you must definitely click here now and know about the different types of dog fencing you can have.
Types of Dog Fencing to Choose From
If you're planning to buy dog fencing for your furry pets, you would want to have the best for them. To help you decide, here are the two types of dog fencing you can choose from:
- Physical Fences
These are fences made up of tangible solid materials like chain links, wood, iron or some other stuff. This can obviously help by providing a physical fence for your dog, thus limiting his area and prevent him from going further. However, most dogs can eventually learn to dig under such fences, or learn how to cross and jump up to the other side. Additionally, these type of fences are often not allowed in apartment units, and can become a hassle for you to freely move around.
- Electrical Dog Fence
These are specialized type of dog fence composing only of a wire that's buried under the desired area boundary, and a dog tag attached on your pet's neck. When your dog goes near the boundaries, the dog tag will give off an alarming sound, thus signaling your dog to go away. And if the dog went further the boundaries, a harmless static electric shock will be released by the tag. However, this type of dog fence requires enough training for the dog, and regular checking of the components to ensure everything is working fine.
If you want to have more ideas about dog fencing, feel free to click here now, and see which type would be best for you and your pet. Purchase the right one, and have a good fence for your dog.

|And the Winner Is...

Neptune's SailorMoon SuperS and SailorStars Homepage
It was a tough decision kids, but an almost unanimous vote last night put this page way over the edge.
The creator who goes by NeptuneSS blatantly stole information from another page, what we mean is..he took the source, copied it, then posted it giving the real author minimal credit.
He then denied the accusations in IRC, but when he saw he was cornered, he tried to blame another webmaker for stealing his picures which he say are found no other place on the web.
He then made this comment:
"Images are more important than information.."
When I was sent this information, it made me laugh. After viewing his web page, I can actually say it is pretty bad.
Positives About His Page:
As I mentioned, he attacked another webpage maker for stealing his pictures..but he had no proof. As for stealing information from another page, we saw he gave minimal credit to the original site..but he got no permission..and isn't that against Tripod law?
This guy makes you think his page is special or something...seen it all before..
|The NeptuneSS page has a lot of pretty pictures, sure..But Pics aren't all what Web pages are about. If the info is screwed, it's like a waste of time; just some dork with a scanner..
|Hank Chen is an immature idiot. He tries to cover up his deceit with the dumbest rationalizing ever. When that doesn't work, he tries to hoist the blame on innocent others. He says that he's mature, and then he starts to scream and act like a two-year-old. He seems to have this idea that his page is the best on the Web, and that every pic on the Web that he has on his page was stolen from there.
|I hate this page..You have no idea how much.. I saw his page when he stolen the information from the other pages. Its rather appalling really. He claims all his pictures are special and no other web pages have anything like it, I beg to differ. I see lots of pages that do. Either they steal them from him, or he steals them from them. Anyone who has a scanner can scan the trading cards he has and what not. I don't know...whatever. His page also is a total waste of time to try to access..he should make most of his pictures into links. Oh..and his stupid thing about how he is innocent and should be supported...that's such a freakin pile of b.s. Its disgusting..URGH!

Google noticed that SPS was embracing everything that it had to offer – Chromebooks and G-Suite (Drive/Classroom) – and asked us to consider becoming a Google for Education Reference District. This potential recognition required us to complete an in-depth application process, which the Tech Team did, and we found out on June 13, 2017 that we were approved! Here's a quote from our acceptance letter:
"Your organization is doing exemplary things with Google for Education tools. We are excited for you to join the select group of innovative districts and independent schools in our Reference District Program." -Google
What does this mean for SPS? We can use the official Google badge on our websites and we are publically listed as Google for Education Reference District We agree to be a resource for other districts and offer PD and/or tours. Believe it or not, other schools have already reached out to us – local and afar – to hear about our experiences!
Here's the link to our Google Story of Impact that we had to submit as part of our application: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ye-mRp8bcxmlXw7QWBV6J_REcerset2hnRvFEWLeqWw/edit?usp=sharing
This recognition was certainly a collective effort by the entire Scituate Public Schools staff.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Franklin as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 4-29-1985 by Ord. No. 85-3]
[Amended 10-28-1985 by Ord. No. 85-4]
The Mayor and Township Committee deem it in the best interest of the residents of the Township, due to the detection of substantial water pollution and contamination in the groundwater aquifer in certain areas of the Township, and have therefor granted a limited franchise to New Jersey Water Company[1] to extend water mains into the Township in and through the municipal streets therein. In order to facilitate said water main extension, to promote the health and welfare of its residents and to make the same cost effective, this article is hereby adopted, providing for certain regulations for the mandatory connection to said water mains as hereinafter provided.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
- Any building or structure heretofore or hereafter constructed, designed or used for residential dwelling purposes or occupancy by persons, whether temporary or permanent, for public use or commercial or industrial uses in which water facilities are required by any statute, regulation or ordinance of the State of New Jersey, County of Warren or the Township of Franklin.
- For all existing buildings required to be connected, the 90th day next ensuing after said water mains are available to serve said building or structure. For any building or structure constructed after the date of completion of said water mains and after they are available to serve, said building or structure shall be connected to said water mains at the time of such construction and prior to occupancy, unless hereinafter exempted.
- Any system providing for the carrying of water for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes from a central source by and through pipelines and mains installed in the public streets of the municipality, whether the same be by a public water authority or private water company, authorized by statute and/or regulated as a public utility.
[Amended 10-28-1985 by Ord. No. 85-4]
All buildings or structures located within a reasonable distance of water mains installed or to be installed by the New Jersey Water Company in the area presently outlined by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and designated as the "red-lined area," as on file with the Franklin Township Clerk and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, shall connect such buildings or structures to said water mains on or before but not later than the connection date. Said connection shall be mandatory. All new buildings or structures along any future extensions of said water main by the New Jersey Water Company or other water utility shall be connected to said water mains at or during the time of construction, provided that the same are within a reasonable distance of said mains. The owners of said buildings or structures shall bear the cost and responsibility from the curbline connection, with the exception of those covered under the emergency installation extension by the Spill Compensation Fund in the red-lined area.
Every connection required by this article shall comply in all respects with the Plumbing Code of the State of New Jersey, the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code or any other regulations.
[Amended 10-28-1985 by Ord. No. 85-4]
It is further provided that those buildings or structures required to hook up to an existing water main shall simultaneously at the time of said connection shut off, disconnect and totally divorce the previous private water system to said buildings or structures. The disconnection shall be subject to and in accordance with the procedures as required by state statute, regulations or other ordinances.
[Amended 10-28-1985 by Ord. No. 85-4; 9-28-1987 by Ord. No. 87-9]
Upon failure of any owner, person or corporation to comply with this article within 30 days of a notice from the Franklin Township or Warren County Board of Health, which notice shall be served by certified mail (return receipt requested) and regular mail to the address of said owner as listed on the tax assessment list of the Township of Franklin, said owner, person or corporation shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection B below.
In the event that any owner, person or corporation shall not connect a building or structure to the water main as herein provided and/or disconnect the private water source and/or fill and seal his private well, such owner, person or corporation shall, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of $25. Each day beyond said thirty-day notice period shall be a separate violation of the within provisions. Penalties under this article shall be enforced by the Township or County Board of Health or any authorized state agency in the Municipal Court or any other court having proper jurisdiction thereof.
[Adopted 10-7-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-11[1]]
Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. II, Theft of Service, adopted 12-5-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-17.
All public water systems constructed within the Township shall be designed to support the installation of fire hydrants conforming with NFPA standards to facilitate the provision of fire protection to all areas of the Township served by public water systems.
All fire hydrants shall conform to NFPA standards.

Best Hair Removal Products – Popular Methods and Products Revealed!
Many people have unnecessary hair growths and it's quite common for unwanted hair to grow particularly on the underarm, upper lip, legs, cheek, chin, toes, feet and even on the back. The solution is finding the best hair removal products! But do you know the best method to use? Various methods work differently depending on skin tone and area of the body.
You have to remember that there are different hair removal methods available out there which may include waxing, electric shavers, tweezers, disposable shavers, coils, electrolysis, sugaring, laser/pulsed lighted, epilators, creams and lotions.
The Different Hair Removal Methods – Detailed Comparisons
First up, let's talk about what makes the different hair removal methods unique from each other to provide you a better idea on what process may work to your benefit.
Laser vs. Electrolysis
These methods are usually done by experts but with technology, they have become available for home use. These aren't for everyone and may require several sessions before you can actually see desirable results. What makes each one different?
Laser hair removal is more expensive than electrolysis but less painful. The method uses pulse light to kill the hair follicles on problems areas. Each session takes about 10 minutes or less depending on the area and this works best on light skin dark hair on areas such as bikini, legs, chin and upper lip. But expect some of the hair growing back.
Electrolysis is a more guaranteed method as it kills every follicle being treated. This is best on small areas such as upper lip, brows and chin. When it comes to the pain factor, it is more painful as the procedure involves one hair at a time. You may have to deal with a sterile needle inserted into every hair follicle and the process may last for 30 minutes depending on the area.
Electric Shaver vs. Epilator
An electric shaver is perhaps the most common type and one of the easiest and painless hair removal methods. The result is temporary though as hair grows back the next day since the procedure merely cuts the hair off on the skin surface using a bladed device powered by electricity. This usually requires application of moisturizer before the procedure for smooth glide of the shaver. Check out our reviews for women electric shavers here.
The epilator is also an electrical device used in hair removal but this one doesn't have any blade. It's quite similar to waxing as it pulls hair from the roots, so it's a bit painful. The result is smooth skin that may last for a few weeks. Hair takes longer to grow back and when it does it grows finer and softer. You can find our epilator reviews here.
Waxing vs. Sugaring
Waxing can be super painful and quite messy. It is done by applying a sticky substance on the area to be treated. The substance then binds hair to a piece of cloth which is peeled off eventually typically against the hair growth direction. Hair is guaranteed removed from the roots but will grow back over time.
Sugaring, on the other hand, is a substitute for waxing but painful as well. Instead of sticky substance, the procedure uses sugar, lemon juice and water (caramel consistency) applied on the problem area. A strip of cloth is peeled off quickly against the direction of hair growth pulling hair from the roots. This is a less messy procedure as the mixture rinses off easily with water.
Hair Removal Methods and the Best Product Options
You must know by now what makes each hair removal method different from each other. If you want a more in depth information and looking for the best hair removal products, hang on and just keep reading.
Laser / Pulsed Light
If you are considering laser hair removal, expect the following:
- Works on all areas of the body
- Smooth and hair-free skin
- Guaranteed hair growth reduction

- Works on light skin dark hair only
The best laser products I have found on the market are the Remington Products IPl6000R Refurbished Remington I-Light Professional IPL Hair Removal System, the BellaLite by Silk'n: Professional Hair Removal At Home and the Silk'n Personal Light-Based Hair Removal Device for Home Use. These are designed for home use which are pretty cost efficient and designed to be user-friendly. These guarantee long-term positive results so just make sure to follow instructions.

- Irreversible hair removal option
- Kills hair follicle preventing hair growth
- Cheaper than laser
- Tedious process
- Only works great for small areas like chin, upper lip and brows
- Not painful at all
- Most repeat the process several times to best result
You have three choices with different price ranges – the Vector Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal System, the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X and the Verseo ePen Permanent Hair Removal System. Each device has unique features; so discover what works for you.
This hair removal method is common but can hurt. Check it out and determine if this is for you.

- Inexpensive
- Lesser pain after several procedure
- May last up to 6 weeks
- For both men and women

Electric Shaver
For people who are always on the go, electric shaver may be an achievable option but find out its good and bad points.
- Immediate result

- Lightweight and easy to use
- Simple and fast
- Inexpensive
- Pain-free
- Works on sensitive skin
- Hair grows back easily
- Hair is cut off just on the skin surface
- Best used on legs and underarms

You may want to try these products for ladies – the Panasonic ES2216PC Close Curves Wet/Dry Shaver for Ladies and Remington WDF-3600 Smooth & Silky Women's Shaver. They are equipped with features for bikini area and shower-safe.
These are like shavers but works like waxing. They work by pulling hair from the roots and usually designed with contoured and pivoting heads to perfectly work with the shape of the problem area. Here's what you may have to expect.
- Easy to use and not messy
- Takes sometime before hair grows back
- Hair grows finer without stubble
- Cheaper than going to the clinic
- Works on all skin color
- Washable parts
- With speed options for different areas
- Not advisable for ingrown hair
- Can be pretty painful
- The noise can be disturbing
- Discharges quickly
The Remington Epilator Smooth and Silky Wet/Dry Face and Body, the Panasonic ES-ED90-P Ladies Wet and Dry Epilator/Shaver and the Philips HP6576 Satin Perfect Deluxe Epilator are great options when considering buying your own epilator.
These hair removal methods may not be for everyone. Although the kit may be affordable, it only works for some skin and hair type. Check out the pros and cons.
- Affordable
- Easy to apply
- No bumps and burns
- For all areas
- Pain-free
- Works as exfoliant as well
- May cause skin irritation on sensitive skin
- Can be messy
- Uneven application may result to patchy look
- May not be effective on dark hair
The Dermology Hair Removal Cream Remover Lotion Gel, the Revitol Hair Removal Cream and the Nisim Kalo Hair Inhibitor Spray & Lotion Permanent Hair Remover are some available options you may consider. See what works on you.

Jug Band Music. The Kweskin Jug band version starts and ends with seven "F" chords. You can easily put a kazoo on a harmonica rack and become a one man/woman band!
Blues In The Bottle. The original recorded version from the 1920's by Prince Albert Hunt. This is more Old Time Southern Style and not the same lyrics as the later jug band version. (see below). I like hearing the original, when it's available.
Blues In The Bottle. The later jug band version, and the one with the matching lyrics to the songbook.
Who Broke The Lock ? On the hen house door! This song was published in 1895 and has been covered by countless artists and groups….but not a jug band I could find. I've been playing it as a jug band song for years and it works well for kids of all ages. My lyrics are based on the Old Time version by the Highwoods String Band from Ithaca, N.Y. Copy and paste this link to hear it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXjLw2GIO_Q Here is a great version by the Tennessee Ramblers circa 1930: slide guitar and and a group chorus sing along.
Shake That Thing. Papa Charlie Jackson recorded this in the 1920's, one of the earliest blues on record.There he is with his Gibson Guitar Banjo, which you'll hear on this sound file.This ragtime blues song makes for some fun jug banding. Believe it or not, Jerry Garcia and the Dead were Mother Mcree's Uptown Jug Band first and this was one of their tunes!
Sadie Green. Mid 1920's Cowboy-Vaudeville-Jugband! You can hear the ukulele playing great back up during the singing. There is another verse, and although not recorded, it's included on the lyrics sheet. This tune has about as many harmonic twists and turns as you'll see in this type of music.
Kansas City Blues.Recorded by many bluesmen in the 20's, and rewritten as a rock n roll song in the early fifties, and once again covered by many bands. Here's an original recording on ukulele with the earlier lyrics.Key of C.
Wild About My Lovin'. Early blues recording, played with a flat pick. This tempo was later recorded by the Kweskin Jug Band,and there are faster, driving tempos as recorded by the St. Regis String Band.
Beedle Um Bum. Revived by the Kweskin Jug Band in the 1960's from this recording by McKinney's Cotton Pickers about 40 years earlier. A great nonsense song with a lot of bounce.
Button Up Your Overcoat.See the original music and hear the original recording at Free Fret Files on this site.
Folding' Bed.Considered one of the first, if not the first jug band tune recorded by Whistler's Jug Band. Quite the line up with guitar, mandolin banjo, and THREE jugs.Oh, and if you search it on youtube, you'll see an astounding movie from the mid 20's of this very song.
The Separation Blues. Sung here by Pat Sky. This is an easy, fun song following an iconic jug band format using the circle of fifths. I've included less lyrics than the sound file: I learned this decades ago from a friend, way before the internet, CD's, and cassette tapes!
Crazy Words,Crazy Tune, and the sheet music title is VoDoDeeOh. Amazingly popular in the 1920's having been covered by vocalists, dance bands (listen to the Golden Gate Band); than later revived by the Kweskin Jug Band.Here's the great vocal version by Johnny Marvin.
Mobile Line. A great example of jug band arrangement, especially at the beginning of the song. This is a standard blues structure: I-IV7-I-V7-IV7-I.
Stealin',Stealin', by the Memphis Jug Band. Some nice vocal harmonies, and quick chord changes on the bridge( a kazoo playing the alternate melody here, on a rack, is a classic). Later revived and covered by Jerry Garcia, and Arlo Guthrie.
The Cat's Got The Measles.This is a novelty song, perhaps from the days of minstrel shows, first recorded by Papa Charlie Jackson in 1924. The author is unknown, so maybe it was he who wrote it!
San Francisco Bay Blues. Written by Jesse Fuller, an amazing one man band: bass and percussion with feet, guitar, and rack harp! This has been covered by Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul, and Mary: the list goes on. This recording is from 1954 by Jesse Fuller. Makes a fine jug band song, and lots of folks can sing along.
Ukulele Lady. Here's the version recorded by the Kweskin Jug Band. The original sheet music (with uke chords by May Sing Breen) and recording by Vaughn De Leath can be found here under Free Fret Files. Now you CAN have it all!
Take Your Fingers Off It. Attributed to, and first recorded by the Memphis Jug Band in 1928; this blues incorporates a lot of lyrics found in old time country music, also. You can hear the Memphis Jug Band here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpF-wZSX250. Below is the revival version by an early revival jug band, The Even Dozen.
The Morning Blues. Written by Uncle Dave Macon, the irrepressible early star of the Grand Old Opry. Terrific and influential finger picking by Sam McGee. This was later revived by jug bands, singer songwriters, and rockers in the 60's. Here's the original. The lyrics are somewhat racist. Maybe Uncle Dave heard a version in a minstrel show and rewrote it…his parents owned a hotel in Tennessee,where musicians stayed: he was born in 1870.
Uncle Dave Macon on the right, with Sam McGee
Baby Keep Stealin'. The Mississippi Sheiks, an all black string band, wrote and recorded this.They were unique in having a blues fiddle in the mix, and this style of playing can be heard in revival string and jug bands.

Apocalypse Now !!
Here is the cover of the latest edition of Newsweek magazine. I think it is a good reflection of the over-the-top reaction to the disaster in Japan. Irrational fears of radiation overdoses make people crazy. (Geiger counters for radiation detection have sold out of the stores in Paris!)
At the top of this post is a weekly chart of the Tokyo Nikkei stock market average. You can see the panic drop on the earthquake- tsunami - nuclear meltdown fears. The Japanese market has since recovered part of that drop. I think it is a buy at current levels.
The Newsweek cover is not something I would expect to see near a bull market top. I think that the current bull market has further to go - at least to the S&P 1400 level and probably to 1500 or so. This would put the Dow at new historical highs near 15,000.

America in Decline ... (NOT!!)
Here is the cover of the latest issue of Time Magazine. It does not directly comment on any market. But despite the ham-handed attempt at editorial balance, the cover makes it pretty clear what the Times editors and, by inference, their readers believe.
This is not the kind of cover story one sees anywhere near a bull market top. It just reinforces my belief that stock prices in the USA have much further to rise before a drop of as much as 25% can materialize.

crude oil redux
Two weeks ago I highlighted the New York times headline on crude oil prices. Crude prices have moved up about five dollars a barrel since then. Above this post you will find two more pieces of evidence for what I see as a bullish investment crowd in crude oil.
The first image is of the latest cover of The Economist. It tells us that crude oil prices have lit the fuse of a bomb which will destroy the worldwide economic recovery.
The second image is of the front page of today's Chicago Tribune. It speaks for itself.
At the top of this post is a monthly chart of West Texas crude oil prices. The market is still trading well shy of its 2008 high of $147. But it is also up 300% from the $35 low of late 2008 and has been moving steadily higher for more than two years.
I think that while prices will probably move higher from here, maybe to $112 or so, the next big swing in crude oil prices will be downward.

Fc Kingdom becomes one of the best retailers in UK for sound and patient customer service, providing cheap football kits for all customers. The brand new Germany away soccer jersey 2017 is one of the best-selling products. Many obvious features of the brand new jersey are as follows:
1 Ribbed Pattern
The soccer jersey takes classic ribbed collar and ribbed trim. Compared with previous soccer jersey, the symbolic three stripes of Adidas are stitched on both sides of soccer jersey rather than on shoulders. The predominately grey away soccer jersey features several horizontal stripes in two different colors. But the sleeves are dyed with dark green rather than with same grey colors on the main body. In addition, the badge of Germany national football team is stitched at a noticeable place of the front, with four silver stars symbolizing four times outstanding performances at the FIFA World Cups.
2 Reversible Design
One single highlight of the brand new away soccer jersey is the reversible design. Not only can one in grew jerseys, but also one can turn the inside out, taking it as a common shirt in training sessions.

BJP betrayed me by picking Modi for PM post: Nitish
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday ruled out any future alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it had "betrayed" his party by projecting Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate.india Updated: Feb 18, 2014 22:25 IST
Hindustan Times
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday ruled out any future alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it had "betrayed" his party by projecting Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate.
Kumar said it was "impossible" for the Janata Dal (United) to return to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
"Chahe hum mitti mein mil jayen ya kuch bhi bura ho jaye, yeh namumkin hai ki hum BJP ke sath dobara ho jayen (Whether our party bites the dust or some terrible contingency occurs, it is impossible for us to go back to BJP)," Kumar said in reply to a debate on the governor's address in the Bihar assembly.
Calling his party's split from the NDA in June last year a "well-thought-out decision", Kumar said Nitin Gadkari, who was then BJP president, had assured JD (U) that no "controversial" person would be projected as PM candidate.
"Nitin Gadkari had promised us that no controversial person will be made the prime ministerial candidate of the NDA. But BJP decided to project Modi and we were forced to end the alliance," Kumar said.
He said his party had made it clear to Gadkari and other BJP leaders, including LK Advani, that the JD (U) would walk out of the NDA if Modi was chosen as PM candidate.
"The era of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani has ended. A new era has begun. Now, under no circumstances can the JD (U) return to the NDA."
The chief minister also dared the opposition to bring a no-confidence motion against him in the assembly and pull down his government.
"It is because of our avowed principles that I accepted being reduced from a majority government to a minority government by breaking away from the BJP," Kumar said.
"I propose that the rules of legislative business cease and the opposition be allowed to bring a non-confidence motion in the current session itself."
Kumar also accused the BJP of trying to sully the image of Bihar minority welfare and IT minister Shahid Ali Khan by linking his name to two suspected Indian Mujahideen operatives, Jameel Akhtar and Mansoor Sai. The BJP has demanded Khan's resignation.
Kumar said the Bihar police had received a letter from Sashastra Seema Bal (armed border guards) last month seeking verification of the charges against Khan. The Special Task Force (STF) had asked police in Motihari and Sitamarhi districts to probe the matter and found the allegation false, he said.
"In case of such matters, either I or the speaker of the state assembly should have been informed. What is the source of the information with the Sashastra Seema Bal, which took suo motu note of the matter and forwarded it to the STF in Bihar for verification?" Kumar said.

In the Dominion Post today 19.6.09
there was a purported quote from the Wellington Regional Public Health Medical Officer "explaining" why they had "been forced to move from a containment approach towards managing the pandemic ... We have been humungously busy, under enormous pressure and over-inundated with calls. We have four or five telephone lines open and Telecom cannot provide us with any more. "
Four or five? Good grief what a "humungous" number! One 'phone line per 90,000 people in the region. If this reflects the level of planning expertise (let alone English skills – "over-inundated"?) or lateral thinking managing the response to this situation, no wonder the Ministry of Health has given up any attempt at containment and has already resorted to managing.
In the unlikely event that Telecom truly cannot provide some additional service by technical means to the current location, has the WRPHMO considered another supplier? Off-shoring the call centre to Egypt? Using VOIP? Setting-up sub-offices? ... I wonder what Telecom think about the statement of their capability?
The WRPHMO could even ask Geekzone's Supreme Bean to give some advice.

It tells the tale of a small, coastal fishing village interrupted by the arrival of a dead body washed up by the waves. This drowned man, which they named Esteban, has a huge impact on the village, which is forever changed by his arrival. This was a college project, resulting in producing a printed children's book, along with a soft-toy. The illustrations were created using only gouache.

MMO Gamer recently got the chance to sit down with City of Heroes Senior Designer Joe Morrissey to talk about the Mission Architect system. In the interview, Morrissey explains how he was the one that suggested letting players develop their own content evolved into the current system we have today. What began as a simple request for an upgrade of the design tools became the Mission Architect system. The story of how this system came to be is a bit of a funny one as Morrissey explains resources were thin and the engineer team only helped fuel his idea by not being able to aid him in getting new development tools.
The interview also touches on a few other things like some of the great missions being developed by players, and what the system has added to the game. All in all it's a pretty good read if you're interested in the Mission Architect system or the idea of player created content.
We had one guy that actually consistently put out a new arc each week, and it had this whole through line of the story, with different characters that came in and came out, even what felt like you were making a choice at the end of it.

There's plenty of blame to go around, but there was one country that possessed unique power to change the game. It didn't use it. If Barack Obama had come to Copenhagen with a transformative and inspiring commitment to getting the U.S. economy off fossil fuels, all the other major emitters would have stepped up. The EU, Japan, China and India had all indicated that they were willing to increase their levels of commitment, but only if the U.S. took the lead.
(The "deal" that was ultimately rammed through was nothing more than a grubby pact between the world's biggest emitters: I'll pretend that you are doing something about climate change if you pretend that I am too. Deal? Deal.)
I understand all the arguments about not promising what he can't deliver, about the dysfunction of the U.S. Senate, about the art of the possible. But spare me the lecture about how little power poor Obama has. No President since FDR has been handed as many opportunities to transform the U.S. into something that doesn't threaten the stability of life on this planet. He has refused to use each and every one of them. Let's look at the big three.
Blown Opportunity Number 1:
Blown Opportunity Number 2:
Blown Opportunity Number 3:
Imagine if these three huge economic engines -- the banks, the auto companies, the stimulus bill -- had been harnessed to a common green vision. If that had happened, demand for a complementary energy bill would have been part of a coherent transformative agenda.
Whether the bill had passed or not, by the time Copenhagen had rolled around, the U.S. would already have been well on its way to dramatically cutting emissions, poised to inspire, rather than disappoint, the rest of the world.
There are very few U.S. Presidents who have squandered as many once-in-a-generation opportunities as Barack Obama. More than anyone else, the Copenhagen failure belongs to him.
Research support for Naomi Klein's reporting from Copenhagen was provided by the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute.
