Democrats – The Party of Inclusion
Home Blog Post Democrats &#8...
The Party of Inclusion?
That was before the big convention. Now you need to add: Don't include God or Jerusalem in our Party's Platform. I'm not calling all Democratic Party members "Godless" – but I am saying that would seem to be a tenant of many party leaders. Watch below:
It's interesting to see that the Democratic steamroller is still working. After ramming Obamacare down our throats it was throttled for awhile, but somebody turned it loose at the DNC. Clearly, there was not the necessary 2/3 majority vote, but did that stop the DNC? Nah…just give them two more chances to change their minds and then ram it down their throats anyway and move on…
Would the Democrats allow ME to join their party (the Party of Inclusion)? It would seem that uber liberal John Stewart's findings (below) are that they would not. Unless I gave up my corporation, God, my Constitutional rights, my views on the sanctity of life and learned a little "science"… If I did all of those things, they'd allow me to get under "the big tent".
Fine Print: They don't accept white males readily, either, unless they are willing to undergo a gender change. I don't know if that means that I'd need surgery or if simply wearing women's clothing would be enough.
Wow, what love – for everyone except for the 146 million gun owners in America.

Remind me again why people worry about voter fraud and the Democrats? Don't like the way a vote turns out?–who cares, the issue is settled.
This was lose-lose for the Dems.
LL September 6, 2012 At 7:25 pm
If you recount enough and then dismiss the vote, you WIN AND WIN BIG. And there hasn't been a case of voter fraud brought against the Democratic Party in Chicago EVER. That's just a nasty rumor the Republicans like to spread. They're just jealous because the dead rise, walk to their local polling place and vote for the Democrat of their choice every election cycle.

The convention is not yet over. Nor the election. There may be more to come. Scum spreads.
LL September 6, 2012 At 11:23 pm
It spread over the country like a frigging oil slick last time.

Can't Obama go golfing and just call this one in? It's not like he never gives speeches or anything.
LL September 7, 2012 At 12:09 am
It will be the same speech we've heard before. youtu.be/fZgQhnNRSuw
He could send some sort of ObamaBot to the convention while he's on the links and it can give the same old tired lies to the adoring masses at the DNC.
Biden could introduce the ObamaBot in this way, "Barack couldn't be here because he's trying to lower his handicap, because we all know that he's going to be playing a lot of golf in Hawaii, but he sent the ObamaBot to send the same pre-recorded speech that you're going to hear in the presidential debates."
ObamaBot: It's all George Bush's fault. White people are racists. I just need another four trillion in stimulus. ObamaCare is about you the people even though I'm exempted from it. etc.

They are simply pathetic…
Race Bannon September 7, 2012 At 11:41 am
What happened to the Daily Show?!?!?!?! For a second, I thought Craig Kilborn was back?
Maybe they wanted to appear 'fair and balanced'. This piece was. However, I don't think that Jon Stewart is a born-again moderate. He's not about to change his liberal spots.
"Both the civilian labor force (154.6 million) and the labor force participation rate (63.5 percent) declined in August."
Democratic Party Faithful respond (this morning) with the suggestion that we should legislate corporate profits and reduce them. That will inspire them to hire more people and expand… So pathetic — and INSANE.
R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe (or his attorney) asked Fox News to stop playing "Losing My Religion" link.
A Fox News spokesman responds: "FOX News Channel's use of an R.E.M. song during Thursday's edition of Fox & Friends was in full accordance with its license agreements with all appropriate parties. Nevertheless, we're always flattered to have this much attention for a song selection and we hope R.E.M. was able to satisfy their publicity fix."
Libertarian Advocate September 8, 2012 At 1:42 pm
Nevertheless, we're always flattered to have this much attention for a song selection and we hope R.E.M. was able to satisfy their publicity fix."
And that was even funnier.
Or maybe Stewart just wants to retain a pale aura of credibility
Democratic Party Faithful respond (this morning) with the suggestion that we should legislate corporate profits and reduce them. That will inspire them to hire more people and expand…
I believe that what this really points to is the abysmal state of education in this country, not just in economics, but more important, in the teaching of critical thinking skills.
I think that the most telling (funniest to some of us) was the Villaraigosa reaction to the loud NO opposition to the matter that he brought to the floor. I admit that it would have been funnier still if the REM song, Losing My Religion had been playing in the background at the DNC. Who says that political conventions aren't entertaining?
LL: This is what I wrote about that over at LawHawk's Nest:
LawHawk: I agree with you on the God/Jerusalem screw-up. Except my gut tells me that it was only a screw-up in the sense that the Dems had not anticipated there would be a substantial number of Nay voters, never mind a clear majority. I firmly believe that the whole episode was theatrics likely cooked up in the greasy kitchen that is David Axelrod's mind. The leadership yanked the language on purpose so that Obama could be seen as riding in to the rescue to restore the planks and thereby "prove once and for all" that he is not a Marxist and that he's got Israel's back. Their problem was that they didn't realize that Obama's nearly four years of ginning up the radical fringe of the Democrat base had in fact so shifted the dynamics of the Democrat party that the majority of its delegates (read active base) is in fact now far to the left.
Quite frankly the whole thing was an embarrassing clusterf__k for the Dems. Villaraigosa looked like a complete chump and most Americans will now see him as the face of Democrat Party fraud.
Woodsterman (Odie) September 8, 2012 At 4:34 pm
It's OK, they're just fixing the ballots early.
It will be interesting to see how this plays in the mind of Party Planners who saw Villaraigosa as one of those rising stars. He did look like a chump and I think that it damaged his credibility – maybe only short term. Democrats are forgiving of their own sycophants.
The Chicago votes have already been counted for Obama… Romney didn't get a single vote in Chicago, as it turns out. Not even the dead voted for him.
You're just not progressive enough. IF you were, you'd understand that by eliminating all business profits (thus government of ownership of businesses) we'd achieve true communism and would be on part with Cuba or North Korea… The Democratic Party vision will include you if only you learn to TRULY love Big Brother.

Last month, an Israeli...


Nelly Buschke from Germany, Maria Rocadembosch from Catalonia and Rachel Shimko from California, USA, feeding lambs on John Fagan's farm in Gartlandstown, Co Westmeath. They are working and living on the farm as as part of the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) scheme.
It's so far so good with lambing. The later lambing date is really suiting my farm. I am lambing the majority of the ewes outside and the triplets and singles are inside. I could not ask for better conditions which are in stark contrast to last year's apocalypse which was like an Antarctic trek with Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean.
Getting the feeding right in the weeks prior to lambing is as far as I can see the key to a successful lambing. Not over feeding the ewes carrying one lamb and feeding extra feed to ewes carrying triplets is crucial. It is why pregnancy scanning is essential when it comes to sensible flock management.
One thing is for sure, lambing certainly improves your fitness levels.
My Fitbit, the new watch thing that measures the amount stuff you do each day. clocked up almost 20 kilometres that I walked over a 15-hour period. It would have been more only that I had to take it off to help out a ewe in a slight predicament and I didn't want to lose it altogether. It's worth monitoring your health and I am glad to be fit enough to carry out this work as you feel great after a busy day.
You would also want to be as elastic as a yoga instructor and as twinkle-toed as a ballerina to manage sheep lambing outside so it's put me thinking maybe there's an alternative income to be earned hosting 'sheep farming health and fitness boot camp'. Who knows.
Grass on the farm is going great, I expect to do a bit of reseeding in May on 30 acres that was sown in Spring barley last year. Reseeding is important to do and more importantly it's important to get right. Taking a soil sample is the first step in this and as soon as lambing drops off I'll get the samples in so I'll know exactly what the soil needs when I go to reseed in May.
I am getting my fair share of ewes prolapsing this year and I treat it by putting on a nylon harness on the ewe. I find the harness is a very good way to deal with a prolapse as the ewe can often lamb with it on and it doesn't cause them any discomfort.
One thing I might add, is that the prolapses I have noticed generally are coming from ewes that have had their tails docked too short.
These are from the ewes I bought in so farmers should remember that there is no need to dock the tail of the lamb so severely and leave enough to cover to the essentials.
My home-bred ewes, which are Texel and Suffolk cross ewes whose mothers are mules, are a joy to work with. They are lambing down on their own with lots of milk and this is a reminder to me on just how important it is to breed your own replacements. The most profitable sheep farmers are the ones who breed their own stock and it is really worthwhile taking note or perhaps notching the ear of a ewe lamb from a ewe with good attributes so that you can retain her in the flock.
I had a visit from the TY students from Castlepollard Community College and it was great to meet such good mannered smart young people.
It's always nice to show people what we are doing on the farm so that it is not such a mystery to them. Luckily, they were there to see a lamb being born and my pet lambs received a lot of attention.
One of their questions was did I always want to be a sheep farmer and the truth is I really do and in a year like this it's the best job in the world. Of course, we have our ups and downs, it's never a walk in the park but there is never a dull moment on a farm.
A farmer has to be many things, we have to be a biologist, an ecologist, a chemist and an accountant, a meteorologist, a scientist, an environmentalist and political activist, a veterinary assistant and even a psychologist but most importantly we have to just be kind to our animals and then everything falls into place.

Friday Pre-Game Notes: Tackling The St. Louis Rams
By Dave Choate Updated Aug 21, 2009, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Friday Pre-Game Notes: Tackling The St. Louis Rams
After a very average kind of game against the Detroit Lions last week, Falcons fighting for a roster spot will be looking to make a very big splash against the St. Louis Rams.
Some rosters are pretty well locked already, but the Falcons have a lot of guys who are poised to make a difference and are just waiting for the opportunity. Guys like Thomas Brown, the speedy potential special teams ace at running back, who is looking to unseat Jason Snelling. Guys like Chris Owens, who is drawing some rave reviews for his play at cornerback. And then there's guys like Dave the Falconer, who enjoys believing he makes a difference as he shouts and cheers from his futon. Bless them all.
With that in mind, let's jump in to some pre-game observations:
Chris Owens seems to be shattering the learning curve. If he wins a prominent job in the secondary he's likely going to struggle somewhat, but he's very smart to maximize his value on special teams. There are a lot of corners who are likely in front of him, but an impressive outing tonight could change that very quickly.
This is going to be a critical game for a lot of other rooks, like Vance Walker and Lawrence Sidbury, because Mike Smith wants to get them time against the Rams' starters. This will separate the men from the boys in a hurry, and it's a great way to accelerate the aforementioned learning curve.
Over at Turf Show Times, my brothers in blue-and-gold seem to think the injuries to Chris Houston and William Moore will make things easier for their passing game. That'd be true if they weren't down Marc Bulger and Donnie Avery, but since that's the case, I'm going to engage in a little good-natured trash talk and say NO WAY JERKS HAHAHA! Ahem.
Curtis Lofton, natural born leader? The expectations for one of The Falcoholic's favorites already are sky high, and it looks like he's ready to assume that kind of role. He and Mike Peterson will be critical to the growth of some of the younger guys in the front seven.
Apropos of nothing, here's a fun little feature on Peria Jerry. My favorite response by far is when D. Orlando Ledbetter at the AJC asks him who his favorite team is, and Jerry says the Falcons....and then says he "can't believe (DOL) asked me that." We're going to get along just fine, Peria!

Stand Up Streams
Stream it
Self Platform vs Established Ones: What makes sense for film makers?
06 . Sep . 2017
The streaming scene has definitely seen an uptick in India. More and more Indian film makers are jumping on the web series and short films bandwagon. The reasons are many and varied. Some say that's because they use this platform to tell stories that don't fit into the mainstream – whether because of time duration or due to concept. Others say that they are bored of the stars system, where you need a big star around which the whole project rotates and revolves. Whatever be the reason, the mainstream is plunging into streaming.While that's the scene on the creative front, there's still some discussion to be done on the commercial front. For example, when it comes to web media, you can go to the big three – YouTube, Netflix and Amazon.
With Netflix and Amazon, it's a simple transaction – they commission or buy your film. With YouTube, until recently, short film makers could make money only with the ads. That is about to change soon, but currently, ads are the way to make money from your film if it's on YouTube.
One other monetary option that's coming up is setting up a platform from scratch – something that companies like ALTBalaji is doing. With that, the film maker is the judge, jury and executioner of the project. If they want it to stream, stream it shall. With a platform, the film maker also stands to become the fourth in the scenario of the Big Three.
While that freedom exists, all freedoms come with a price – and this particular one comes with a huge price. To begin with, a film maker will need to make massive investments in terms of technology, hardware as well as soft skills. The film maker will basically need to pay attention to the business side.
Even if the film-maker doesn't put their own money, they will need to venture out, looking for investors. And we all know how true the phrase 'too many cooks spoil the broth' has become in Bollywood.
The other aspect of setting up a platform for streaming is that the returns are staggered, and quite frankly, one doesn't even know if there are any returns. Setting up a platform would mean that a film-maker would make money only via tie-ups and advertisements. That would mean that a film maker has to make such extremely interesting content that entities would want their names affiliated with the project.
The simpler way, of course, is to peddle your product to the Big Two, or even go via the advertising mode with YouTube and be done with it. The problem with selling the product for Netflix or Amazon is that you then bid goodbye to most of the rights of the product. Bollywood is scattered with stories of producers and directors who don't have the rights to their own films because they have sold it to a platform for a few crores. Nobody would want that to happen with the upcoming film-makers of short films.

U.S. Lost 701,000 Jobs In March; Much Worse To Come
By NPR
Published Apr 3, 2020 6:32 AM
By Scott Horsley | NPR
For the first time in nearly a decade, the U.S. suffered a net loss of jobs as the coronavirus began to take hold in the country. But a monthly snapshot from the Labor Department shows only the first pinpricks of what will soon be a gaping wound.
U.S. employers shed 701,000 jobs in March, according to the monthly survey. But that was conducted three weeks ago -- before the pandemic forced the widespread closing of restaurants, retail shops and other businesses.
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (Courtesy of NPR)
That unprecedented shutdown has already pushed some 10 million people out of work, according to initial claims for unemployment filed in the last two weeks. Most of those job losses won't show up until the April employment report is published a month from now.
Still, Friday's report is a milestone. It snaps a record-long streak of employment gains that stretches back to the fall of 2010.
The unemployment rate rose from 3.5% in February -- matching a 50-year low -- to 4.4%, the sharpest increase in 45 years.
"That will only be the tip of the iceberg," said Lydia Boussour, senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. "We think April will be really the month where you will see the full magnitude of that labor market collapse."
Boussour likens the abrupt halt in economic activity to what the Gulf Coast experienced during Hurricane Katrina. But in this case, the shutdown stretches across the country.
She projects that the U.S. will lose as many as 20 million jobs before the pandemic is under control and that unemployment will soar higher than at any time since World War II.
"We wouldn't have thought a few weeks ago that something like this would be possible," Boussour said. "You're basically asking people to stay home and not go to work."
More than 6.6 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week alone, 10 times the number who did so during the worst week of the Great Recession.
Losses are concentrated in restaurants, retail, recreation and manufacturing -- all jobs that cannot easily be done at home or while practicing social distancing.
Retail and manufacturing were struggling even before the coronavirus pandemic, but restaurants and hotels had been adding jobs at a rapid pace.
About two-thirds of the job losses in Friday's report were in leisure and hospitality, especially bars and restaurants. But few industries were unscathed. Retailers shed 46,000 jobs. Construction companies lost 29,000. Even health care employment declined by 43,000 as doctors and dentists closed their offices for all non-emergency services.

Tracking The Spread Of COVID-19


Designing for AR/VR is about building connections between the physical and digital world, requiring an interdisciplinary effort of service, interaction, and industrial design.
In 1995, the cringe-worthy Johnny Mnemonic was released where he used a VR headset and gesture monitoring gloves to control the "future internet." Even though this movie was over 20 years ago, it is only in the past few years we are seeing commercially ready virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies hit the market.
If you watch this clip, you will hopefully notice two aspects. The first is that the technology is clunky. The second is that the predicted user experience (UX) he has is rich (for the decade of movie production): information is available at speed, the gloves are accurate, and the path and usability are seamless. When he moves his hands, the VR3 responds instantaneously. It assists him at every turn. Yet twenty years later, we have not reached this quite yet. Why? Because the focus needs to shift from technology to other aspects to enable this industry to flourish.
A large amount of technology companies efforts in this space in the past two years has been mostly focused on determining whether can they squeeze enough compute power onto a pair of glasses. Other questions to be answered were around whether the battery would last a decent amount of time and whether the heat emissions would be low enough not to inconvenience the user. Whilst there are still optimizations to be performed, the core of the technology has at least been proven, along with some clever innovations around leveraging smart phones to save on hardware investments.
In the coming years, we will see a larger amount of these companies focusing on user experience we have with these technologies — ensuring the interfaces, gesture, and motion recognition are close to perfect are high on companies to-do lists. The hardware road-map will ensure they are lighter, more robust, and frankly, sexier to wear. Before we discuss other aspects of how improved UX will be the focus of the coming years, it's not to say that technology won't help with this. For example, the evolution of flexible compute paradigms specifically in the nano technology area will assist in building compute into glasses, instead of adding compute retrospectively.
Apart from the technology of VR and AR being quite different under the hood, the psychology of how they are used is also. With AR, we are injecting a digital layer between us and the physical world. With VR, we are immersing ourselves into a digital world. These are very different experiences and the user experience design must have this difference at its core. We must ensure that the layer we design for AR takes characteristics from both our physical environment and our own personas. With VR, it's much more emphatic to ensure the person feels comfortable and safe in that world.
The UX design of AR and VR technologies and applications will require careful management of multiple input styles. Using wearables, voice recognition, AR and AI, we will start to see seamless blending and integration with how technology interacts with us across various senses. Touch devices are still being used, but they will move aside for voice recognition, movement tracking, and even brain waves to be used to control these smart devices. The communication will be much faster and intimate and will force designers to completely rethink how we interact with these devices.
The UX of these devices will also require more human-like interactions, to built trust between the devices and the users in an organic manner. We are seeing this with voice control technology like Siri and Google Home, but they are understanding our voice, with some sample responses. Soon they will learn to evolve their speech.
Artificial intelligence will take hold of the user experience to analyze the reaction to different experiences and then make changes in real time to those assessments. UX will become a much more intuitive and personalized experience in the coming years.
Already, we are seeing a myriad of startups evolving in the space, some focusing on content development in software, some focusing on the actual hardware itself. Some are brave enough to have both on offer. We also have the larger companies creating divisions to provide offerings in this space. Having a choice is great, but when it becomes painful trying on your fourteenth pair of glasses at your average conference, it is not. When one takes the time to observe how companies are beginning to partner up to offer solutions (a trend extremely common in the IoT industry), it is a small step towards some form of standardization. Excessive choice can be bad from a UX perspective, as with such segregation in initial design makes it harder for app designers to get it right on the hardware.
At some point, we have to get away from the "toys" feel for these devices. We put them on for ten minutes in an airport or at an event to get a wow from it. Whilst the applications in the gaming industries are there to be seen, companies are beginning to focus on where else the market will be. Certain devices have flopped in the past two years, and you would wonder why with such strong brands. The first reason was awful UX. The second was the market just was not ready, with a distinct lack of content to make them anyway useful. Just because a few of these devices fail, doesn't mean the movement stops.
Consumer and Industrial applications have very different requirements from a market perspective, with content choice and look and feel very important for consumer markets, system performance and governance sitting higher in industrial use cases. With the costs associated with adding these technologies to industrial environments under the microscope, companies must focus strongly on measuring and building the return on investment (ROI) models.
With these technologies predicted to get even closer than headsets (smart contact lenses, for example), its quite important the UX designers can intrinsically build in comfort and safety into any application. Too many times we have seen people fall through something whilst wearing a headset (more so with VR technologies). And that's just the physical safety. When the threshold between physical and augmented worlds gets closer and closer (mixed reality), we want to avoid a scenario of interface overkill.
Whilst the past few years may indicate that these technologies are fads, the reality is far from it. They will become part of our social fabric as a new form of mobile technology. Ensuring the users' experiences with these technologies will be the critical enabler in their success and adoption rate.
Designing for AR and VR entails there be a better understanding of a user's need when it comes to the context of use. It's about building connections between the physical and digital world, requiring an interdisciplinary effort of service design, interaction design, and industrial design.

Pentagon Denies Taliban Anti-Terrorist Permission
Pentagon officials said they would not give the Taliban a green light to conduct anti-terrorism strikes inside Afghanistan, telling Fox News that the militants must agree to a cease-fire and international withdrawal before allowing
Pentagon officials said they would not give the Taliban a green light to conduct anti-terrorism strikes inside Afghanistan, telling Fox News that the militants must agree to a cease-fire and international withdrawal before allowing members of their group to return to the battlefield.
The Taliban has called for a cease-fire as part of a comprehensive peace process that includes the United States, but the militant group has been unable to seal a deal with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
In addition to seeking a cease-fire, the militants have demanded international troops leave Afghanistan. Officials from President Donald Trump's administration have discussed the possibility of an agreement similar to the one reached with the Taliban in July, where the militant group agreed to end hostilities and transfer Afghan prisoners held in the United States.
A Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Rob Manning, said the Defense Department has made it clear to the Taliban that it is not clear "how they would be able to accomplish their objectives in such a cease-fire without attacking American forces or doing harm to innocent Afghan citizens."
He added, "To the Taliban, those messages have been consistently reinforced in the face of consistent calls to surrender and support peace in Afghanistan."

It's our disappointment. Little by little, we are conceding a few chances to the opposition, the same like in Newcastle, Emery said.
When I started playing Aubameyang, I thought he needed confidence and to continue finding his best performance, said Emery.
When you start the pre-season, you have 25 players and you need passion with every player, and above all with the young players or the new players, Emery told reporters on Friday.
It's one thing we are speaking about before each match, Emery told Standard Sport.
Emery told journalists: Lucas is playing with his progress on the team and on our ideas, our performance with a passion and with a performance.
It's our disappointment today, Emery said of the two goals. Little by little we are conceding a few chances to the opposition, the same like in Newcastle.

Newly-lengthened whitefish boat returns to Shetland
The Alison Kay crew. From left: James Anderson (skipper), John Mair, Walter Johnson, John William Simpson, Stuart Pearson, Terry Laurenson and Kevin Ritch.
Skipper James Anderson and his crew sailed into Scalloway today with the newly-lengthened Alison Kay LK 57.
They steamed overnight from Kartensens Shipyard in Skagen, Denmark, where a new 3.5m hull section was inserted.
The wheelhouse has also been raised by a metre and moved aft and new gear stores have been constructed on the main and trawl decks. There is also a new cabin below the wheelhouse.
Mr Anderson said he and the crew were delighted with how the boat handled on the trip across the North Sea.
"She's a bit faster and much more stable with the reduced draught and extra length," he said.
"We're really pleased with the quality of the work that has been done and are looking forward to getting her out to sea fishing."
Mr Anderson said the crew would spend Thursday getting the gear back on board and intended to head off, possibly on Friday.
The investment in the Alison Kay is the latest to be made in the Shetland whitefish sector, following the arrival of the new Guardian Angell last year.
Two new whitefish boats are also under construction. Parkol Marine Engineering of Whitby is building a 27m seiner/trawler for the Resilient Fishing Company Ltd.
She is scheduled to be delivered to skipper Arthur Polson and partners Edward Jamieson, John Montgomery and John Irvine in the summer of this year.
The Whalsay company has just sold its current vessel, Resilient LK 195, to Tomas Whelahan of Clogherhead in County Louth.
Meanwhile the Tranquility Fishing Company Ltd, also of Whalsay, has ordered a new 27.5m vessel from the Danish shipyard Vestvæflet ApS, due for delivery in March 2018 to replace the current 26.6m seine-netter Tranquility LK 63.
Simon Collins, executive officer of Shetland Fishermen's Association, said: "This investment marks a return of confidence to the whitefish fleet following three years of record landings here in Shetland.
"Despite the scale of the task we have to make the landings obligation work, crews are determined to build a future for themselves."

How many ideas is too many?
There's nothing wrong with the ideas, but the more you create, the more you need to prioritize. If the list gets too long, it can spiral out of control as you keep adding without working on each one. Unless its all part of a massive medley that all interconnects, it can get really frustrating thinking you're "not where you should be at this point". And who needs the added pressure or stress when you're running that many ideas at once?
People who have liked this comment in the forum thread, How many ideas is too many?
I wouldn't go more than five ideas at once. You want your profile to be a bit focused instead of spread out. Let's say one of your ideas suddenly gets a big number of followers and you have twenty ideas, the other nineteen are going to suffer from the success of the one. Keep it focused on a few, keep the rest of the ideas on the back burner.
I keep a journal, which has become part of my everyday life, and in the journal I write various things I like to keep in one place. Most of it relates to my writing. I've posted 4 drafts of stories I've begun writing and 2 ideas that I haven't started yet. That gives my profile 6 WIP's alone and none of them are close to going into pre-order phase.
I like having them there so people can see how my mind ranges and see that I'm not stuck to one genre. Not to mention there's still tons in my journal I'd love to share. But would it look too overcrowded?


I love free stuff. I do. It's just how I was raised. So when I started Stan's Tech Garage, I reserved the stansgarage.com domain, bought an inexpensive web hosting service, and used the mostly reliable, unlimited free email that came with it.
Now obviously free Internet email has it's limitations. It's tough to keep in sync across multiple computers, and you can pretty much forget about keeping all your contacts and calendars up-to-date.
This is basically Google's answer to Microsoft's Exchange server for enterprise E-Mail and collaboration. Now the good news for you smaller organizations is that it's free for up to 10 users, but lacks a couple of the most advanced features. Fortunately those features are probably ones you won't be using. The bad news is that if you need more than 10 users, it clocks in at $50 per user, per year. 10 users free, 11 $550 year. Just keep that in mind. The other drawback, it's Google, so they'll be targeting you with their keyword based advertising. Is it a violation of privacy? Probably. Are they fairly secure with your private data? I hope so. Should you feel confident hosting your company's confidential email on another entity's servers? That's really for you to decide, but over 4 million companies, big and small, seem to think it's alright, and if their legal and regulatory groups think it's OK, then who am I to argue?
Now my motivation for moving the Stan's Tech Garage email to Google Apps was not really motivated by the cost (we're still small enough to use the free account), or the Calendar and Contacts sync, or even the seamless integration with my Android phone and tablet (I gotta say that it is awesome though). No, honestly, it was the reliability that sold me. My cheap host's email was going down far more often than I could accept for my business. I registered for an Apps account long before I actually migrated over to it. The last time my hosting company went down, I couldn't take it any more and migrated my account over to them. Google Apps boasts 99.9% uptime. Couldn't really ask for anything more. The only thing I really regretted was not doing it sooner.
Google Apps is an invaluable free (for the time being) tool to the small business. Especially if you're an Android phone user (but it works great with iPhone too), and it runs great on Macs or PCs with whatever standard email program you prefer or right through the familiar Gmail interface. If you don't like ads, I suggest loading up your Firefox or Chrome with the latest version of AdBlock Plus and you'll never even see them. If you use IE, well, you've got bigger problems. Honestly, you can have an enterprise-class email system with Google Apps for just the cost of registering a domain name. Can't really beat that.

Mohamed el-Erian, the head of the world's biggest bond fund, is tipped to be the next Prime Minister of Egypt, according to report published today in the Arab-language Al-Watan newspaper.
PIMCO CEO el-Erian's name is said to be among the leading candidates for the post now being contemplated by newly-elected president Mohamed Mursi, according to a Freedom & Justice party source quoted in the report. The Cambridge and Oxford-educated el-Erian was born in the United States but holds dual US/Egyptian citizenship and has been actively involved in the Egyptian election process as regular commentator in local and international media.
However, the appointment comes amid a simmering political turmoil between the Freedom & Justice party, which has close ties to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, and Egypt's military rulers, who, with the permission of the nation's courts, shut down Parliament and refused Mursi's persistent attempts to reconvene it.
Calls to PIMCO's public relations team in London were not immediately returned.
El-Erian has been with Newport Beach, California-based firm since 1999, although he did spend two years as CEO of the Harvard Management company overseeing the university's endowment and related accounts. Pacific Investment Management co, or PIMCO as it's more commonly known, is the world's largest fixed income investment firm with around $1.77tn in assets under its management.
He also spent 15 years with the International Monetary Fund in Washington; a role that would be of tremendous assistance to Egypt as it begins negotiations for $3.2b in loans the Fund has said must be tied to broader reforms in its political and economic programmes.
"Egypt must take immediate steps to stabilize its economic and financial situation," el-Erian wrote recently in the Cairo Review of Global Affairs. "Key impediments to regaining pre-revolutionary production and employment levels must and can be removed. Legal and operational uncertainties, many of which have been associated with the abuse of existing procedures, should and can be minimized. Also, and notwithstanding the admirable and correct aspiration for self-reliance, the country needs to consider whether and how to quickly mobilize sufficient external financing on appropriate terms. "
Egypt has around $15.5bn in foreign currency reserves, around half of what it held prior to the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak in February of last year. Economists polled by Reuters expect Egypt to grow by around 3 percent in the fiscal year that ends next June as tourism beings to recover after the violence of last year's uprising. However, as inflation surges to a reported 8.5 percent and that nation's youth finds employment increasingly difficult, the improved pace of growth is still unlikely to deliver the kind of stability the IMF will need before it can sign off on the loan.
Egypt's Central Bank sold 6bn pounds ($989m) in Treasury bills Sunday with yields of just under 15 percent.
