Eating to Live on the Outside: Java Green
Time for another episode of Eating to Live on the Outside! This week I'm off to Java Green. Not literally, just via the internet. Okay, Java Green is about fifty-fifty. Some of the stuff is good and some it not so good, but let's take a closer a look.
First up are the organic wraps. Here's the problem. Many of them are made with faux-meats and cheese on the menu. Fake food doesn't float my boat. So I'd go with these instead. I like the Tofu & Avocado wrap and the Rice Wrap. Combined they're made with spinach, tomato, cucumber, onion, carrot, sesame soy dressing, Chili Java, organic rice, lettuce, and Smooth Java. Clearly, rice isn't exactly nutrient-dense. I can deal with it. But hey, the veggies are cool! Although I'm not sure about the Chili Java and Smooth Java, I'd talk to the wait staff about those first.
I'm skipping the rice rolls and going straight for the salads. Now these I can work with! I'm digging the Very Berry Salad, the Spinach Avocado Salad, the Sesame Soy Salad, Bi-Bim Bob, and the Kale Salad. Lots of good stuff here: mixed greens, berries, strawberries, grapes, fresh mozzarella, almonds, dried cranberries, berry vinaigrette, avocado, baby spinach, red onion, grape tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette, Romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrot, pepper, sesame soy dressing, tofu, rice, cabbage, sprouts, kale, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, and sesame hot pepper sauce. Good stuff! Well, not totally. The mozzarella and rice are getting the axe and then I'd order the dressing on the side. Now it's all good.
Alright, I'm passing on the soups. We all know that prepared soups are notoriously salty. Moving on, I see a few entrees I like. They're not perfect and I wouldn't order any of them over the salads, but maybe you're feeling dangerous. Here they are. First, the Jobche Noodle; made with yam noodles, cabbage, carrot, onion, mushroom, spinach, and spicy tofu. The noodles worry me. Same goes for the Curry Noodle; includes buckwheat noodles, creamy curry sauce, carrot, potato, broccoli, edamame, and spicy tofu. Hopefully that cream sauce is dairy-free. And lastly, the Raw Garden Sandwich might work for you. They make it with tomato, cucumber, sprouts, radish, pickle, raw bread & garden patty, and a side salad. Actually, this one doesn't sound too bad. What do you think?
The organic sandwiches might tickle your fancy. Granted, you'll take a bread-hit, but maybe you think it's worth it. Bread doesn't scare me, mainly because I don't eat it all that often. I'm cool with the Java California, BaToMo, Garden Burger, Vegan Burger, and the Grilled Tofu. They're made with avocado, spinach, cheddar, Swiss, provolone, avo-spread, basil, tomato, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, pesto, balsamic vinaigrette, veggie patty, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, onion, soy cheese, garden dressing, grilled tofu, and mushrooms. Yup, I'm nixing the soy and regular cheese and keeping those dressing to a minimum.
Almost done, one more area left to explore—the sides. Now, if none of Java Green's food struck your fancy so far or you just don't feel like making any exceptions. Order a bunch of sides instead. If it were me, I'd get a plate of edamame beans, steamed vegetables, tofu, and a green salad. Love those soy beans!
Another one bites the dust. I think with a little effort Java Green works! Sure, you have to dodge the fake meats and cheeses and go easy on a few salad dressings, but overall Java Green is cool. But never mind what I say, I'm just a dopey blogger. It's your turn. Check out Java Greens' menu and let me know how you handle Eating to Live on the Outside. Make a comment or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Until then, may the force be with you. Peace.

Comments: Comfortable glove with its loose fitting form. I've had these gloves for a while and only play on ice and they've held up nicely. No real sign of wear. Don't get real smelly either so that's a big deal for me.
From: David, Los Angeles, CA
Comments: The fit is more on the loose fitting side, more similar to a four roll glove. However, the cuff roll and flare is contoured for maximum mobility. I really think CCM has captured the best of both worlds here. The palms are nice with an added extra layer for stick wear. The gloves have a very light feel to them. The protection is good with a solid design and no gimmicky things you may find on other gloves. The liner does dry quickly and provide comfort when wearing. The durability seems fine after a season but there does seem to be some threads in some of the seams showing more. It doesn't seem to have any effect on integrity so far. The palms show almost no signs of wear which is quite remarkable even if only after one season. The looks are really what brought me to this glove. CCM has a subtle flashiness that is neither too much nor to plain. The gloves actually look like gloves and not some bent arm contraption.
From: Charlie, Stamford, CT USA

"It's not just going to tear down unions," said Stith, who'd like to do away with right to work. "It's going to tear down wages for non-union workers."
A union member and large equipment operator, Stith has joined other state candidates who've aligned themselves with a new political action committee called Lunch Pail Republicans. They point to right to work as the highest evidence, they say, that their political party has lost its way, veering away from the concerns of the working class.
DeVon, who owns DeVon Custom Homes, supports right to work as a way to "eliminate barriers to growth."
He said he looks at it from the perspective of a small-business owner who's been successful and seen "the struggles of the common man."
"I'm not anti-union, but I'm more pro-growth," he said. "I use union people on some of my construction jobs. ... But it's a free market. I believe in having as many options as possible. ... Businesses are struggling to stay afloat."
Both men will face off for the GOP nod in this spring's primary election May 8.
Stith is a newcomer to politics. He said he's always been a Republican but has at times split his ticket in the general election, voting for the "very few" Democrats who have had good ideas.
"You can't always be one-sided," he said.
DeVon ran unsuccessfully four years ago for the state representative seat in District 8. Since then, district lines have been redrawn, placing him in District 5.
Stith points out the struggles of workers who've lost their jobs, whom his union helps with food each month.
DeVon said he'd rather seek ways to get more people working, which would bring in more income tax, especially since the revenue from property taxes has dropped off.
As a member of the St. Joseph County Council, he has proposed repealing the county's tax-abatement ordinance because, he said, it's costly and cumbersome -- several pages long and requiring a common construction wage.
"Some counties have an ordinance that's one page," he said.
DeVon said he wants to keep private-school vouchers going in Indiana. Yes, he said, he's heard from lobbyists who'd like to repeal it.
"The focus has to be switched from teachers and to the kids," said DeVon, who serves on the board of the alternative school The Crossing and helped to start a youth mentoring program at the Juvenile Justice Center. "If we can keep them educated and give them hope, then we can keep them out of the county jail."
But Stith asks: "Shouldn't we stand behind our public schools?"
Stith makes a point of saying that the roads in District 5 are in bad shape. He feels that income from the county wheel tax isn't doing its job. But the wheel tax is used and overseen at the county level, not by state legislators.
To that, he said, "Certainly we can voice our opinion on it."
"Every year, potholes get filled on the busiest roads around Osceola, but many of them have gotten to the point where they are not safe for our families to drive on," he states on his website.
One of many roads that needs care, he said, is Lincoln Way. He was pleasantly surprised when The Tribune told him that, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the state plans to resurface Lincoln Way (Indiana 933) from Capital Avenue to the Elkhart County line, with work likely beginning in 2014.
"That's good to hear," Stith said.

The Great Escape
(674 Posts)I thought I would start a new thread, for anyone who might be interested in listening to my waffling on about my struggles with a difficult, overbearing mother. Thank you to whoever it was who suggested the thread title! I've changed my name for something a bit more positive.
previous thread here:
Sorry that was Wed last but don't get hopes up Probably is useless in your circs but just mentioned that in some cities during the long summer vac, university accommodation is often available to rent so wondered if Dublin colleges had any such arrangements. Might be a tall order as far as young DCs are concerned.
Maybe the Dublin tourist board could offer suggestions re: B&Bs that are family friendly? Not quite the pampering hotel type option but more affordable.
on the Dublin thread I mean.
Can't see your post Donkeys....what did you say?
Oh I posted on that Dublin Q thread Good probably not very helpful but just a thought...
Forgot to ask how DH got on with his forklift training, fingers crossed he does hear from his old employers.
Hope you all have a good time on DD's birthday
I'm full of hayfever, but yes...life is good. I look back aghast at how we were living before really. Things aren't perfect, I could really do with a payrise, but no chance of that and dh really needs work, but not much on the horizon there either. Although, he did his fork lift course and he's heard on the grapevive that the company he used to work for may have won their contract back after losing it (but it's all a bit vague) so he got in touch with the guy who recruits for them to remind them he's around IYSWIM. If he had work, even only 1000euro take home, we'd be OK. Just a bit worrying skating by on my shit income alone. But we're doing what we can...my work know I'm interested in promotion and he's doing what he can to find work.
I'm a bit obsessed with what I can only describe as holiday daydreaming. . we can't really afford to go anywhere but, when we lived with DM she made it clear we "couldn't" go anywhere as she "couldn't cope on her own". It made me feel so trapped and depressed, to the extent that I rebelled and when an old friend got married in Amsterdam last May, I said we were going, come hell or high water. She even tried to get DB to come over for the week to "look after her". As it turned out she was fine and even drove while we were away. So, now we can go away I spend hours day dreaming and researching all these places we can't afford would like to go. . My latest one is visiting DB in Dublin.
Well, outing passed off without incident, excellent! Life must feel good, (knocks on wood surreptitiously).
Good luck! Hope it has all gone OK.
It was all fine. DCs and I took her to a lovely nature park (with a duckpond and area with sheep, chickens, donkeys etc.) about 20 mins away. I'd made a dozen cupcakes (a packet job...only cost me 1.70 eur...bargain) and got DS to decorate with a million sprinkles the day before so we took those and a thermos of coffee. We had the cupcakes with the coffee on a picnic bench under the pines and put a little candle in one and DS helped blow it out. The place is lovely and really shady and we walked around and looked at the animals and had a good chat about the 5:2 diet as she's read about it and I've just restarted it. I'd got her a lovely rose and honeysuckle handcream and a pretty glasses case at a craft fair the week before and she really liked them. She said a couple of times she'd had a really lovely morning and that it had felt really special and a day to remember, which was great. Then we had the excuse of leaving at about half twelve as it's DD's 2nd bday on Tuesday so we went to see the PILs as they won't see her on the day, whereas DM can.
So, all in all it was very pleasant.
Good luck! Think how far you've come
Good luck. You are doing so well you will be fine.
DM's 70th birthday tomorrow. Wish me luck!
I love spring and autumn here but the real summer is horrible. July and August it's 40º and above every single day, so hot you can't sleep, can't go out anywhere with kids as it's so hot. If you go to the park you have to leave by about 1030am as it's too hot already. No air con in this house (and couldn't afford to run it anyway).
Thanks for the tip I'll take a meaningful lurk.
Me too Jux and Donkey I would love to live somewhere sunny although dh would hate it as he burns in daylight .
Enjoy your day Good, but don't forget to just sit and enjoy the peace and quite in your home.
Donkey come over the misery may thread. It's all about cutting costs and saving money. As food shopping just getting to expensive even just the basic foods.
Me too Jux.
Hi Good nice to hear from you and not at all waffly or boring. You seem to be handling your mum's fluctuating moods far more smoothly. What an improvement! Btw like Lavenderhoney's idea re: sheerness of kaftan captured on film.
I could do with an economy drive myself - it is too easy to renew policies without checking competitors' rates. The shopping bill at the supermarket was awful this week I don't think we have especially lavish tastes.
My DSis sent an un-birthday gift yesterday so my immediate response was to look online for a little something to send her next month. How easily restraint flies out of the window! Perhaps I'd do better to get some 'treasures' sold on EBay.
Glad the dog is better .
No, it was good to hear. Very jealous of your good weather as ours was here for a few days but has gone away again! How I would love to live somewhere where it was warm for more of the year than it was cold!
So, I am back. DH is doing the fork lift course all day so I have no car, but I don't mind as it means I am forced to stay at home all morning. I'm looking forward to doing some boring housey things like sorting out the laundry and ironing and clearing out the pile of plastic crap kids' toy box and dyeing my hair and other stuff. It's a gorgeous day and the weather's heating up so I'm going to sort out my summer clothes and pack the winter ones away. DCs are at school and nursery, so it's peaceful . I haven't really had any time to just have a quiet morning at home since we moved in here. Took the dog for a walk this morning and felt so relaxed. Brilliant!
Things are going OK with the mad mother. On Saturday I was baking a cake and needed a couple of eggs so popped over to hers and she came back here and had a cup of tea and sampled the cake when finished. All very civilised. Then Sunday we popped out for a coffee in the park with her. All fine. Yesterday DD's nursery went on an "excursion" to the park behind DM's house, so I invited her along and she seemed to enjoy herself.
She was wittering on about the referendum in the UK about leaving Europe and is fretting that the UK will leave Europe and as a pensioner here using the reciprocal agreement between Spain and the UK (as part of the EU) that she'll not be entitled to health care here any more. (doesn't affect me as my health care here is based on me working and as I have been here so long and am married to a Spaniard I am entitled to Spanish citizenship if I wanted). I've said before that there's no point worrying about it as it's all based on a lot of ifs, but at least now I can just say that and the walk away, whereas before I'd have then been fretting about it myself or having to listen to her going on about it.
DH is on an economy drive (he does the shopping and cooking) as with DS' birthday and Easter and DB visiting etc we've gone over our budget recently. He's keeping a tally of expenditure and doing cheaper (but healthy meals).
Had an e mail from a translator friend about some courses she's running and I'm really pleased she's doing so well, but made me feel a bit sad that I couldn't make a go of it. But, gave myself a good metaphorical slap and a talking to and feel a lot better now. I have a job I mostly enjoy and, money in the bank and sometimes I get other income through translation. Also, she has 2 masters and a professional qualification, so not really fair to compare myself. If DH could get some reasonably stable work even at 1000 euros a month we'd be OK. Did my tax rebate and we're so poor we get 1800 euros back! Whoop whoop!
Anyway, better stop...I'm sure that was a very boring waffle. xx
Hi, re the transparent short dresses- do you have an iPad? Film her with the dc in the bright sunlight in the garden, play it back and she will say " omg, my dress is completely see through and really short!!!"
And you can say " so it is! I didn't realise..."
Just a thought. Happened to my mil
Pretty well, thanks for asking. I'm just glad to hear that things are calm your end
Hi Wingdefence Things are going OK. The dog is much better and things have been relatively calm with DM. Have to go to ed now as I'm knackered but will post again soon. How's things going with DC2?
Hi GtB - hope it's all going well for you
Thank goodness.
The reason they said cancer was they did an ultrasoud and say suspicious shadows on the liver, but the blood test came back normal, so looks like inflammation (hepatitis).
Blood test came back and it sounds like hepatitis, which can be treated, so that's a relief. DM came with me (she's very fond of the dog) and was very kind. She wasn't wearing her crazy kaftan gear so I didn't say anything. Going to have a cup of tea and try to mentally get off the rollercoaster iyswim.
Oh GoodtoBetter. UnMN hugs to you. Hope your dog is ok. Thinking of you

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - President Barack Obama made history in the fight against pancreatic cancer by signing the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act into law recently. The legislation, formerly known as the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act, passed the U.S. Congress on December 21 after it was attached to the National Defense Authorization Act.The landmark legislation requires the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to examine its current research efforts on cancers with very low survival rates and work to develop early detection methods and better treatment options to help improve outcomes for those diagnosed with the most deadly forms of cancer, including pancreatic and lung cancer."The adoption of the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act is a historic victory in the fight against deadly cancers - particularly pancreatic cancer - as it is the first legislation designed specifically with the disease in mind," said Julie Fleshman, president and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. "On behalf of thousands of pancreatic cancer advocates and patients around the country, we are deeply grateful for the incredible bipartisan support in Congress and to President Obama for signing the bill into law. Above all, this legislation provides hope for pancreatic cancer patients and their loved ones. Today we celebrate this important step, but we do so while honoring the memory of so many people whose lives were cut short by pancreatic cancer."Locally in the advocacy effort, the tireless work of several Incline Village residents and other passionate Nevadans whose lives have been touched by this disease helped keep this legislation in our Congressmen and Senators' view over the past four years. Sens. Harry Reid and Dean Heller were co-sponsors of the Senate version of the bill, and Congressman Mark Amodei co-sponsored in the House."Volunteers tirelessly reached out to their elected officials with phone calls, emails, personal visits to their offices locally and in Washington, D.C., and obtained proclamations to let it be known that Pancreatic cancer does not have an early detection method or effective treatment options, and that the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act needed to be passed into law", said Ginnie Jed, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's Northern Nevada/Lake Tahoe Community Representative.The Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act requires the NCI to establish scientific frameworks for pancreatic cancer and other deadly cancers. These frameworks will help to identify scientific advancements, evaluate the sufficiency of researchers, and outline a plan for ongoing research. The bill is a balanced approach that complements current research at the NCI and includes recommendations to advance research and measure progress through appropriate benchmarks.The NCI will be encouraged to rigorously evaluate existing research efforts and examine how well they are supporting progress in the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of these deadly cancers.Currently, pancreatic cancer does not have an early detection method or effective treatment options, which is why President Obama's signing this into law means so much to the pancreatic cancer community. This legislation ultimately provides an opportunity to change the future for pancreatic cancer patients.About 44,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year and more than 37,000 will die from the deadly disease. Pancreatic cancer currently has the lowest five-year relative survival rate of all major cancer killers, at just six percent. Because of the lack of early detection methods and effective treatment options, pancreatic cancer is the only one of the current top-five cancer killers for which both the incidence and death rates are increasing in recent years. And a recent report indicates that pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cancer killer in the U.S. by 2020 and possibly as early as 2015.

Ryan: Healthier Tebow could bring Jets Wildcat back
- Posted: 11:34 AM, December 14, 2012
Ryan said that quarterback Tim Tebow looked so good in practice on Thursday that he might use him in some wildcat plays Monday night against Tennessee. Tebow is recovering from broken ribs.
"He moved around great," Ryan said. "This is the best he's looked in several weeks. There could be a chance that he does Wildcat. He moved around that good that we may get him back in similar roles."
Ryan said Thursday that Tebow would not run any of the "Tebow package" plays Monday night but he would be Mark Sanchez's backup. Ryan said he was not sure if Tebow's ribs could take the pounding if he was running the ball. Now, he thinks there's a chance.
"Just looking at the way he's throwing the football, [and the way] he's moving," Ryan said. "Before you could almost tell that he wasn't real sure. Now, I can't see a visible difference [from] the start of the year to right now. I just want to say that if he continues to look like this and even improve maybe we can have him in a similar role."
Tebow may also play personal protector on the punt team. He took a few snaps in practice Thursday at the position he has not played in four weeks.

Despite Market Negativity, Agribusiness Companies Keep Performing Strongly
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The chart from Yahoo Finance compares returns over the last three months for PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (NYSEMKT: DBA) and Market Vectors Agribusiness (NYSEMKT: MOO), the ETFs that track agricultural commodities prices and shares of agribusiness stocks, respectively.
Both instruments have been falling in tandem recently -- they usually move in similar ways, but many companies in the agro sector have been reporting very strong financial figures. Lower stock prices in a context of solid financial reports ... it looks like there may be a buying opportunity in the agribusiness sector.
The fall in commodity prices as reflected in DBA is probably more related to currency movements and investor sentiment than fundamental considerations. The European financial crisis has generated an appreciation of the US dollar versus other currencies as investors seek refuge from the increasing global uncertainty, and a stronger dollar is usually bearish for commodities.
Also, when financial markets run away from risky assets, all kind of commodities usually suffer, agro commodities included. A selloff is a selloff, and investors sometimes pay little attention to the underlying fundamentals of the assets in question when they are selling in a hurry.
There is a clear relationship between the prices of agricultural commodities and the earnings of the companies that make the portfolio of MOO. Seed producers like Monsanto and Syngenta, fertilizer companies like Agrium and Mosaic, or machinery manufacturers like Deere and CNH face increasing demand and profit margins when commodity prices are strong and farmers have more incentives to invest in crop improving technologies.
But investors should not overestimate the impact of fluctuations in short-term commodity prices on demand for companies in this business. After all, there can be a big difference between cyclical oscillations and a long-term trend for agro prices.
Furthermore, movements in commodity prices don't necessary reflect levels of demand in related businesses; production has been rising continually through the years in order to feed a growing world population, and demand from countries like China and India has been increasing as people in these countries change their eating habits and increase their calorie consumption.
Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) reported numbers that were quite strong on Wednesday, but shares of this machinery manufacturer were falling by a 2% in a negative day for commodities and related companies in general. From Samuel Allen, the company's chairman and CEO:
John Deere is well on its way to a year of outstanding performance after reporting an eighth consecutive quarter of record earnings. Our results are a reflection of positive conditions in the global farm economy, which is continuing to show impressive strength and endurance. Deere is gaining new customers throughout the world, who are responding with great enthusiasm to our innovative lines of equipment.
The company has been sliding into bargain territory lately, trading at a forward P/E below 9 and yielding a 2.3% in dividends. Such a valuation for a company that is reporting record results and surpassing analysts' estimates sounds like a nice entry point from a long-term perspective.
Fertilizer company Agrium (NYSE: AGU) is another interesting alternative with strong financial performance and a discounted valuation. The company reported a 23% increase in revenues for the last quarter and, although earnings per share increased at a slower rate of 11%, the number was also better that expected by analysts. At a forward P/E of 8.5, shares of Agrium are trading at tempting valuation levels.
One more fertilizer play with a strong performance and a cheap valuation is CF Industries (NYSE: CF), which reported a 30% increase in sales and 42% more in earnings per share during the last quarter in comparison to the previous year. The company is not only benefiting from strong demand for its products, but lower natural gas prices are also helping margins since natural gas is a production input for CF. At a forward P/E of 7.8 there is plenty of upside potential in shares of this fertilizer producer.
As long as agro commodities keep declining due to uncertainty regarding the global economic scenario, these stocks and financial markets in general probably will remain under pressure. On the other hand, this is the kind of situation in which long-term opportunities are usually born, and it looks like one is appearing in agribusiness companies.

Arthur Pranno Named Florida's College Music Educator of the Year
LAKELAND (Jan. 12, 2009) – Florida Southern College Professor Arthur J. Pranno has been named the College Music Educator of the Year by the Florida Music Educators Association. Mr. Pranno is director of string studies in the FSC Music Department, conducts the college orchestra and the new music ensemble, and teaches violin and a contemporary music history class. At the FMEA annual meeting, he also received a distinguished service award from the Florida Chapter of the American String Teacher's Association. Mr. Pranno said, "I'm very flattered and honored to receive the recognition. I never really expected to win; I thought it was wonderful to be nominated." The award is presented annually to a music educator to recognize exemplary service to students, the community, and the profession, and outstanding merit in music teaching or administration. Mr. Pranno was nominated for the award by Tom Silliman, a music teacher from Brevard County, Fla. He also received letters of support from Dr. Brian Brink, chairman of the FSC Music Department, and Dr. Jo Jossim, a colleague in the department. "He is a fantastic colleague," said Dr. Brink. "It was nice to see the state of Florida recognize the same great qualities we see every day." Mr. Pranno received a bachelor of music from the University of Iowa and a master of music from Arizona State University. A native of Chicago, he grew up surrounded by music, as his father and mother both taught music in the public schools there. Dr. Paula Parsché, former chairman of the Music Department, called Mr. Pranno "a Chicago version of the Renaissance man," noting that he knows a lot about everything -- from astronomy and art to politics and pizza (from his native Chicago, of course). "He is a dynamic, compassionate musician and a fascinating person," Dr. Parsché said. "With him around, there is never a dull moment or a dull conversation." |


text: i got back from the fla swap meet a few days ago and want to air a few opinions. the new show grounds are sort of o.k., at least until friday. that thunderstorm friday afternoon left my space under 4 to 6 inches of water. i was in a tent. we had set wednesday up on the right spaces according to the map the managers had. a guy pulled in on thursday saying we were on his space and made us move over on to the space next to ours. luckly it was a friends who was ok with sharing. someone made a mistake on setting up spaces. by friday night the cabbage patch was rocking out (30 years ago i would have been over there with them) now i had to put in ear plugs to get to sleep. we drove up to eustis to see what was at the old show grounds, only a hand full of venders. i hope that by next year the powers that be will get their act together and have one swap meet at one good location instead of two. i really liked eustis, nice small town away from the daytona insanity, plenty of good eating places nearby, just a better atmosphere. i don't mean to be a whiner as i enjoy swapmeets, i just miss the old eustis grounds.

BBC's The Choir branded misleading
12:08am Tuesday 11th September 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Gareth Malone's new TV series has been branded "misleading" and "mendacious" by a singer featured in one of his choirs.
BBC Two series The Choir: Sing While You Work features groups singing in the workplace.
Edmund Chaloner, a 48-year-old general surgery consultant at Lewisham hospital in south-east London, told the Radio Times magazine that the show is "dishonest".
He said: "If you could have deleted the television bit, I'd have enjoyed it twice as much. I thought the television was a pain in the a**e. The programme-makers knew exactly how they were going to play this.
"They'd put different people in different stereotypes in order to display how we all come together in an example of wonderful musicianship. They would play on me being a surgeon, pretending that I'm some sort of Lancelot Spratt-type character. And I find that ... I think it's dishonest, actually.
"I think it's mendacious. I think it's misleading. It will purport to show reality but it's not reality at all I'm afraid.
"I found the whole TV thing a nuisance and if I was asked to do it again, in retrospect I would refuse because of that; not because of the music ... that was sensational. I didn't realise we could make a sound like that, that I could make a sound like that."
Meanwhile, Military Wives star Gareth told the magazine that he would have to show a different side to his personality when he goes to the US to film a show there.
"You have to speak their language. The slightly cynical, embarrassed English approach doesn't wash in America," he said.
"They don't understand why you're not blowing your own trumpet. I can be bold there, whereas I have to slightly tip-toe around the British."

Location: Contaminant Fate and Transport
Technical Abstract: The salinity of the soil plays a prominent role in the microbial selection process as environmental stress can reduce bacterial diversity. In the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California, the problem of increasing salinity and consequently, decreasing crop productivity, are major concerns. An experiment was conducted in a closed, recirculating volumetric lysimeter system (VLS) consisting of 24 experimental plant growth units at determine the interactive effects of salinity, boron and pH on the rhizosphere microbial composition of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Seminis Turbo hybrid). Plants in the VLS were irrigated from individual reservoirs containing a modified half-strength Hoagland's nutrient solution combined with various salinity, boron, and pH treatments. . Community DNA was extracted from plant samples and a 236-bp DNA fragment in the V3 region of the small subunit ribosomal RNA genes of eubacteria was amplified and the 16S rRNA gene was separated in a DGGE gel. The results indicated that salinity and pH were the most influential factors determining the diversity of bacteria in the rhizophere of plants. The study showed that the impact of low pH on microbial community was more severe during the first week than week seven of the study. Therefore, soil pH must be properly managed during the early stages of plant development as this may have severe impact on nutrient availability to plants.

The release of the iPad has obviously been hyped and swarms of consumers blindly following the newest most talked about trend will flock to the apple stores. Perhaps the question we should ask ourselves before jumping on the consumerism bandwagon is, will the iPad be able to perform all of the functions you need it to consistently and reliably? If the iPad follows the trends of the iPhone, then maybe we should think twice. Lastly, with iPhone prices being dropped down to an inexpensive $99 now, could it be difficult to justify spending $499-$829 on a product that is similar.

So this weekend is Labor Day and we've reached the autumn of another year. The leaves are starting to turn, the temperature is getting cooler by the day. Trees are asking for you to sit beneath them on a wooden bench with the latest novel, or perhaps it's a tad too cold out and a roaring fire and a warm hot chocolate beckons you instead. At any rate, the Fall is the second biggest book release time after Spring and so I've compiled a smallish list for you all.
From my initial Anticipation list earlier this year a number of titles have dropped (and subsequently been devoured) and their receptions have spread across the board ratings-wise VIA Chris and myself.
So let's look forward the Fall/Winter releases and see which titles we are still waiting for and which have been added freshly to the list that we didn't previously know about.
THE NIGHT CIRCUS – Erin Morgenstern (September 13th, 2011)
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.
This one has oodles of ridiculously positive buzz so I am super excited to read it.
ALLOY OF LAW – Brandon Sanderson (November 8th, 2011)
Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice. One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn, who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.
Sanderson. Mistborn. Nuff said.
As the ninth century wanes, England appears about to be plunged into chaos once more. For the Viking-raised but Saxon-born warrior, Uhtred, whose life seems to shadow the making of England, this presents him with difficult choices. King Alfred is dying and his passing threatens the island of Britain to renewed warfare. Alfred wants his son, Edward, to succeed him but there are other Saxon claimants to the throne as well as ambitious pagan Vikings to the north. Uhtred's loyalty – and his vows – were to Alfred, not to his son, and despite his long years of service to Alfred, he is still not committed to the Saxon cause. His own desire is to reclaim his long lost lands and castle to the north. But the challenge to him, as the king's warrior, is that he knows that he will either be the means of making Alfred's dream of a united and Christian England come to pass or be responsible for condemning it to oblivion.
The continuing story of Uhtred is a no-brainer purchase. I LOVE Cornwell's work.
SNUFF (Discworld #39) – Terry Pratchett (TBA-Fall 2011)
According to the writer of the best-selling crime novel ever to have been published in the city of Ankh-Morpork, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.
And Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies and an ancient crime more terrible than murder.
He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches, and occasionally snookered and out of his mind, but never out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a finding, there must be a chase and there must be a punishment.
They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. But not quite all...

A New Watch novel starring Sam Vimes? Yep. So there.
THE COLD COMMANDS – Richard Morgan (October 2011)
Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have. Outlawed and exiled from his ancestral home in the north, Ringil has only one place left to turn Yhelteth, city heart of the southern Empire, where perhaps he can seek asylum with the kiriath half-breed Archeth Indamaninarmal, former war comrade and now high-up advisor to the Emperor Jhiral Khimran II. But Archeth Indamaninarmal has problems of her own to contend with, as does her house guest, bodyguard and one time steppe nomad Egar the Dragonbane. And far from gaining the respite he is seeks, Ringil will instead find himself implicated in fresh schemes and doubtful allegiances no safer than those he has left behind. Old enemies are stirring, the old order is rotted through and crumbling, and though no-one yet knows it, the city of Yhelteth is about to explode.
Currently, I am on the last 100 pages of the first book THE STEEL REMAINS and absolutely being blown away by it, so consider me stoked for the sequel.
So that's a few of the ones I am really looking forward to coming up. What are some of yours?

Publishers continue to tinker with their social media tactics to improve discovery of their digital content. One important "discovery": People don't want to share everything they read with their entire social graph.
It's a lesson publishers have learned since Facebook's introduction last fall of new features that automated much of the social sharing process. The new "social reader" apps created by publishers such as the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Yahoo and The Daily included default settings to post every activity – reading an article, watching a video – to the user's timeline.
The torrent of shared links that followed was overwhelming. "If everything our friends is reading and viewing is pushed into our social stream, we're quickly going to be inundated with information," Amit Kapur, CEO of Gravity, said at an industry conference last week. Gravity has developed what it calls an "interest graph" – a personalization engine that includes not just a user's social graph, but also his implicit and explicit activities across the Web.
Some publishers have responded by tweaking their social reader apps to make it easier for readers to limit (or remove after the fact) what they share on their timelines. Here are two examples, from the Washington Post and Yahoo, respectively:
Automated sharing highlights an important difference between reading an article and recommending it. In effect, in an effort to drive discovery and referral traffic, publishers have been trying to jump-start virality of articles that may not deserve the promotion.
It's safe to say that everyone reads articles or watches videos that we have no desire to share – let alone recommend – to others. Reading surreptitiously about real-life zombies is one thing; recommending the gruesome article to my friends is quite another.
(The converse to this "social baggage" – the stuff you don't want people to know you're reading – is what Kapur calls "peacocking": the desire to share links that create a positive perception of you across your social graph. This phenomenon contributes at least in part to the renewed interest in "highbrow" long-form journalism. "People like sharing things that reflect well on them, and there's a prestige attached to the long-form hashtag," BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith told Adweek. "It's a little bit like boasting to your friends, 'Hey look, I read this!'")
The automated push to "share anything" may explain why social media still lags traditional methods for recommending content – according to one survey, at least. GigaOm Pro found that recommendations from friends are the dominant discovery tool for entertainment-related content, followed by traditional advertising and search engines. The majority of those recommendations, the survey found, are on a one-to-one basis: talking to someone in person, on the phone, or through email.
VP of Research David Card said GigaOm Pro also, however, is seeing the emergence of the "social explorer" – someone who uses social networks to find and share content. Social explorers make up 17% of the consumers surveyed and skew younger (40% are 18-34) and slightly female. Media companies need to identify and cultivate these explorers who show an interest in their content, Card said at a paidContent conference last week.
There's no trick to turning these explorers into advocates for your content. "The key is to understand the human mind and people's relationships and make things that people think are worthy of sharing with their friends," Jonah Peretti, founder and CEO of BuzzFeed, said at the conference.
Here's Card's presentation:

Once upon a time, achieving the perfect tan involved basking outdoors with a paperback and a sheet of aluminum foil. But towing the line between a healthy glow and a blistering sunburn proved more challenging than expected. The further paleness fell out of vogue, the more interested we became in products and devices that could brown our skin without burning it to a crisp.
Nowadays, those of us without adequate sun exposure can visit tanning salons to attain a glowing complexion, but those living in decades past had to practice a little more creativity. Now that we're in the last month of summer, we thought we'd pay homage to the sunny days of yore by collecting some of the most enterprising suntanning technologies from our archives.
During the summer of 1938 sunbathers at Willow Lake, CA, spritzed actual milk on themselves to expedite the process of tanning. At the beach, women would stand in front of a motor-driven atomizer to receive a spray of the concoction. Supposedly, it could prevent sunburn, but like sunblock, it probably just made them smell a little funky.
That same month, we wrote about a rotating tent that would permit sunbathers to follow the sun's movements. 1938 was a magical year for tanning: in the fall, we learned of a ski lift-inspired tramway that would transport individuals up a sunny hilltop.
Technology became a little more sophisticated, and closer to what we know, during the 1940s. Recognizing the benefits of moderate sunlight, inventors developed sun lamps for use in restaurants, waiting rooms, and hairdressing salons. While the idea never really took off, we can see the appeal of getting bronzed on the go.
Click through our gallery to learn about the tanning drugs, the coin-operated tanning lamp, and more gadgets designed for a sake of a glowing complexion.
Grand total for the hospital tanning room: 111375 watts. Not including the water pumps and fans.
I love these archive articles.

By Curvy Girl Chrystal Bougon. Posted on .
This past Saturday, I did a super fun co-ed pleasure party for 6 couples in Castro Valley. They were such a fun group and we laughed alot. This group of friends have known each other a long time and so they were very comfortable with each other and have been friends since elementary school in some cases. Just very fun, very normal people and we had a blast.
It brought up some fun ideas that I preach alot at the parties and on my blog. Plus, it reminded me of some MESSAGING I should spend more time putting out there. I forget that sometimes men think that Bliss Pleasure Parties are all about girls finding toys that replace them. SO NOT TRUE! Bliss Pleasure Parties are all about helping men and women improve their sex life and their romantic life. I always joke that toys are the appetizers, men are the entrees. (That can be true for all types of relationships - MW, WW, MM, MWM, WMW, etc. )
A sex toy can never replace a real, warm, living, breathing person. Not even the real doll can do all of that stuff.
So, guys, we are not MAN HATERS.....we are SEX and ROMANCE lovers at Bliss. We do not want to help your wife replace you with a rabbit. We want you to use the rabbit together! Yes, it lights up, twists, vibrates and pulses. No, you cannot do that. But, imagine using the toy that lights up, twists, vibrates, and pulses while you are in an embrace with your lover - looking into her eyes, your lips on hers, your arm around her while you use the toy "on her" with your free hand. Sure, sometimes you can be in the "catchers" position, too, but most women would much prefer to use the toy WITH you - not alone and not as a replacement for you.
So, that leads me back to the other topic I have blogged about before which is the "It's so easy, guys, here's how you get your wife or g/f to have more creative sex with you" rant! The co-ed party reminded me of that rant and I am going to go over it again here. This is especially great for your MARRIEDS and for those of you who have been in a relationship for a long time. If you want to have more creative and more passionate sex with your partner follow my advice:
1. If your wife or girlfriend knows you think she is SUPER HOT and that you LOVE every inch of her body and find her super attractive even after 2 babies, cellulite, crows feet or whatever she is worried about - she will be more CONFIDENT. If she thinks you think she is HOT HOT HOT she will be more open to wearing the lingerie in the day light...know what I mean? If she hears you expressing to her often that you sincerely think her mature breasts are hot and that you lover her new hair style - she will feel so much more comfortable in her own skin and I am positive you will find her much more confident in the bedroom.

Booking agents are such an important part of the puzzle; as significant as a band member or one's selection of music. It's not simply a job. They are a key component for the artist and should match the performer's level of commitment and ability.
Dorothy Leigh
DeSayles Grey Orchestra is available for events in the New York area from Northern New York to New York City. Please feel free to check out the band not only through watching this video but through his social network http://desaylesgreymusicnetwork.ning.com.I have two new albums out and am promoting with as many gigs as I can. Please stop by my page and listen. Would love to know who is a booking agent on this site.
Maria Jacobs
Hi there, glad to be part of this please check my website out at:
www.youtube.com/jazzyentertainer Blessings!
So Jayjay,
we all need a booking agent!
What now my love?
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Because George W. Bush did so many great things for America.
Substitute the word "penis" with "brain capacity" and it works as well. FIRST!
much agreed That CondaSLEEZY Rice bitch is fuckin stupid as hell!
Substitute "penis" with "debt and spending" and it has a whole new meaning.
you speak so much truth.
I love it how obama is being blamed for the economy. Also, I love how people expect him to fix 8 years worth of fuckups in 8 weeks.
he said he could so why doesnt he
it wasnt even bush's fault. bush has nothing to do with what happens to the ecomony, there is a separate organization for that purpose
uhh yeah it is!!! Bush is (was) rather in Control of the US and A Private Bank Known as the FEDERAL RESERVE is still allowed to exist and rob ppl of this country and they make it impossible for us to be relieved of debt!! Not to mention Bush's Grand Daddy Laundered Money for the Nazi's. The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his "enemy national" partners.
The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according to reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, tried to conceal their financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a steel and coal baron who, beginning in the mid-1920s, personally funded Adolf Hitler's rise to power by the subversion of democratic principle and German law.
Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of American icon W. Averell Harriman, and George Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, continued their dealings with the German industrial tycoon for nearly a year after the U.S. entered the war. Id Pretty Much say It all started w/ Grandpa Bush and the Corruption Continued throughout history!!
Show me where or when he said that.
I didn't think so.
I love how he's spent more in 8 weeks than Bush has in 8 years. pretty awesome huh?
I love how people think that Bush was just "8 years of fuckups" Hahaha foolish Liberals. I can't wait to see them after their Messiah fails.
I love conservatives who are so brainwashed with hatred that they can't see how George completely fucked the country, the environment, and the economy.
i love how everyone thinks that anyone is gona be able to do anything but nothing is going to change at all ….. we should just go communist =]
Or nudist.
Brainwashed with hatred? I thing Georgie-Boy very admirably endured 8 solid years of the most vile, nonsensical, insane, divisive and destructive, contempt and hatred I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. It continues to this day, as a convenient political distraction from the relevant.
Completely fucked the country, the environment, and the economy? Unfortunately, it's exactly that sort of baseless generalization (a classic symptom of real "brainwashing," BTW), which has allowed so many people to get suckered into the illusion that is Mr. Obama.
Completely fucked? You ain't seen nothin' yet!
Absolutely. 9/11, two wars, thousands of Americans killed, tens of thousands of Americans maimed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed, a collapsed stock market, a collapsed banking system, ruined pensions, bankrupt businesses, double-digit unemployment, trillions of dollars added to the national debt. Even though it appears that President Bush made the wrong decision at just about every turn, I say "shame on the liberals" for blaming Bush when he was just following God's advice instead of evidence or so-called "science". He must have a good reason for all of this–maybe He hates Democrats so much that he did all of this to set a trap for them. Yeah, that's the ticket.
9/11: Definitely Bush's fault (because he's so good at fucking things up, it only took him 8 months to piss off the overzealous ideologues of an otherwise historically peaceful, religious faction).
Two (congressionally approved) wars - one of which is apparently STILL approved by the current admin./Congress: Bush's fault (because he "lied").
"…tens of thousands of Americans maimed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed" - Wildly fluctuating, arguable figures (based on where they come from of course), many of which were induced directly by the same people who brought you 9/11: Bush's fault.
"…a collapsed stock market, a collapsed banking system" - Although in bad shape (more so AFTER the election), "collapsed" is a severe misnomer used for maximum emotional effect. Collapsed would mean at or very near zero, which has not happened yet.: Bush's fault.
"…ruined pensions, bankrupt businesses" - Pensions have been ruined before; Businesses go "bankrupt" all the time, as they always have, yet somehow it's still all: Bush's fault.
"…double-digit unemployment" - According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate for January was 7.6%, and 8.1% for February. Although there are two digits in those numbers, the one after the decimal doesn't quite qualify as a whole number. Yet still it must be: Bush's fault.
"…trillions of dollars added to the national debt" - Never mind the fact that presidents have very little control over national debt (like Congress and a "regulated" Central Banking System do), but still it's so much fun to say: Bush's fault!
"…Even though it appears that President Bush made the wrong decision at just about every turn" - It doesn't appear that way to me. Your grossly exaggerated "opinion" might have something to do with the misguided "facts" we see above. Brainwashing is the effect of allowing others to feed you a certain version of "reality," without verifying that reality on your own. Sprinkle in a few worn out cliches to round out your "argument," and you have the makings of an ill informed electorate who really likes the way it sounds when they say: Bush's fault!
"The buck stops here" –Harry Truman
"It's not Bush's fault" –Vagina
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."
"Huh?" - dirtprof
"otherwise historically peaceful, religious faction"
Not only are you drinking that foul liberal kool-aid you're snorting the god damn mix.
"Only cunts quote others."
i love how you guys are idiots.
who gives a shit.
I love how we all share this trademark web presence you call idiocy… It is just the collective mind unifying. The more device connected you are the more your chances of diluting yourself with the interconnectivity we all seem to possess… idiocy. Yes many there are, many who possess a greater capacity of idiocy than the norm… These people; use Macbooks/ipods/hipster/faggot, who voted blindly for the black guy… who's maturity couldn't orchestrate logic to not render him guilty had he not voted that way, and enroll in business degrees, if they survive the coming of age, otherwise they descend into the caverns in societies hives. These people you know, they are familiar to you. They Flip your burgers and clean your car at that hand wash carwash in 95 degree summer heat.
Subscribe to me, and we will traverse this dividing time of logic and mental retardation impairment You so profoundly and passionately triumph as the "Modern Man".
With all this knowledge and power you'd think our civilization would have exceeded beyond all our wildest and divine imaginations. We are failures in Jacob's ladder… We have squandered societies chance to spend all it had on things that truly mattered.
This was our shot to start new, truly see change. Greed and sloth have jumped our natural course to the next track and we shall cycle again full circle. But it will be sooner than later.
This "messiah", will get us there by blunder. Not by his honest purpose. Don't believe his lies. It will only enslave you further into this dark organization. With out the good following them, they will cave in and rot away.
And those strewn about like wild seeds will spring forth a new and sane existence. Science will not only be unified with spirit, there will be love and progress. Respect and responsibility for your own house and your neighbor's well being.
Be smart and be prepared.
Whispering eye.
u have been deceived.
repent or burn.
awesome post btw
Actually it means how much taxes you will pay with each administration…
Since Obama has promised not to raise taxes on people making less than $250K, I congratulate you on your good fortune. You're doing a lot better than Joe the Plumber, who will get a tax cut.
Unless of course "Joe the Plumber" drives a car, buys food/clothing, smokes cigarettes, drinks beer/liquor, heats/cools/illuminates his home, starts a business, invests some of his money, buys a home, travels by air, rail, or sea, or dies - hoping to leave his assets to his family.
If JTP can sacrifice all of those things, then good ol' JTP can probably claim to have received a "tax cut."
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you actually buy Obama's fairy-tale? That's a rhetorical question, because I know that you (and millions of others) do, but I am still amazed at the level of ignorance involved here. If Obama took all (100%) of the money, from all of the so-called "rich" in this country, he still couldn't pay for all of his "stimulus" bill - less than 40% of it to be more to the point - not to mention the cascading effects that would result from such a scenario.
It all sounds very nice and neat and convenient, but the math just doesn't add up, and Obama has proven that he hasn't a clue how we got here - which would be the mandatory first step toward correcting the situation. Since the "rich" could never pay for it all (even with 100% input), where do you think the balance is going to come from?
Almost 100% BS. Focusing on Obama's stimulus bill while ignoring the trillions added to the deficit under Bush simply shows that you're intellectually dishonest, stupid, or both (i.e., Republican). I worry about the size of the debt, too, but when offered the choice between the professional opinions of our best economists and those of talk show blowhards, I'll go with the economists, thanks.
Um, no. This thread, and your comment, to which I replied, was about taxes - and more specifically, Obama's promise to lower them. The deficit is an entirely different subject.
I refrain from making the typical liberal/conservative, Republican/Democrat accusations (unlike you), because that's what the talk show "blowhards" do and it is utterly childish, pointless, and in this case, inaccurate.
I wonder which "best economists" you're referring to? Just because CNN or NPR (or whomever) says that "top/best/leading economists" agree on something, it doesn't necessarily mean that every "qualified" economist in the world shares that view, or that there is this huge, undeniable consensus amongst them. It usually just means that whoever wants you to believe their side of the story has quoted those who happen to agree with them, and word it to sound like "everyone" does - kind of like with the whole Anthropogenic Global Warming fiasco. They're selling you shit, then quoting the few "experts" who agree with them, to make you eat it.
The first step toward educating yourself is to understand that few experts in any subject are ever 100% correct. The second is to realize that you can know nearly as much as any expert/specialist, if you seek the information from different sources, and reason it out on your own.
That "promise" that you mentioned is a fallacy. It's not supported by the facts, and even some economists who once supported Obama now realize that his stated plans are unattainable in the ways which were "promised." Now of course those economists aren't quoted as the "best" anymore, because they don't support the story.
Some of the most reasonable economists from around the world are featured in thousands of pages of analysis over at Mises.org. If you want to see the other side of the proverbial coin, I urge you to head over there (with frequent noob.us breaks), and learn about things from a different, more realistic perspective.
You're welcome.
fuck both of them… they need to be thrown into the deep, dark, cold, and unforgiving abyss of the atlantic. how dare any one person act like they have the power the change millions of lives. the idiots giving their own free power to them deserve whats coming. the government works for us, its up to us to fix this… not 'the president'. or did you americans forget youre sovereign people, and not corporate citizens to be bought, sold and traded to the highest bidder. idiots. you're all just a bunch of slaves to this grotesque life sucking machine. america isn't free or brave… americans get their 'liberties' like slaves on a leash get liberties, and they are bunch of cowards that need protection from the scary islamic guy hiding under their bed. its the people of america's fault because they didn't do anything about it… can't blame the overlords for taking your power from you when you handed it to them on a golden platter by your own ignorance, apathy and fearfulness to the lies they toss in your face.
"liberal! neo-conservative! stupid republican! stupid democrat!"… watching this happen is like watching a monkey trying to put square peg in a round hole. its all about the money… any moron can see this is business, an acting corporation that own both sides, and they're just corralling all of their 'employees' or 'citizens', or slaves. you might of as well brand your social security numbers on your foreheads… idiots.
Actually, people who don't get involved in politics should be thrown in first. Voters get what they deserve.
uahuahuahauhau, wtf, you ppl come here and start a close-minded political flame war, LAME
anyway the comment above the pic is *completely* unnecessary…"i like the part"?!? are there any other parts I'm not aware of?
Epic laugh there Rick! Did you actually sound that out as you typed it, or is that just the familiar noise you make when you're busy smoking pole?
WTF? You come here and comment on what you claim is a close-minded political flame war, yet the only thing your open mind can think of is "LAME?"
I have something you can sound out right now: STFUMF!
You seem to be a D-bag who only wants to pick fights.
You seem to jump to trite conclusions easily.
I like the way you speak Furious. You're well spoken. Definatly informed. there are too any bush bashers. Im not real impressed with Obama. i kinda wanted him to win so the liberals can have their hero, so when he fails we can tell them to shut the fuck up. im in the military, all of our re-enlistment bonuses went away. alot of good guys/gals are gonna get out because of this. I watched obamas speeches hes good and gettin people all fired up….but so did hitler.
Thanks for the kind words MT2, and I thank you with all my heart for your service!
bush sucked.
your mothers cock
Haha this made my day :]
haha this made my day
All this talk about bush and obama completely destroyed the joke in this picture. thanks guys.
yeah it did ruin it and its the FUCKING INTERNET WE'RE HERE TO LAUGH AND FUCK AROUND if you all wanna bitch about bush or obama go somewhere else but not this site this site is for shit and giggles and lulz nothing more
In a nutshell, we were cooked with Bush and we are gonna be burnt by Obama. Even if McCain won (which there was no way he could cause everyone had to vote for the black guy or else Americans would've been labeled racist, so at least half of Obama's votes were pity votes or "reparation votes," if you will), we STILL would've been up the creek without a paddle. No use in squabbling over the past and who's fault it was. We just have to focus now on how to get out of this hole so we don't get shat on further by countries we are in debt to.
