Q: Application doesn't build after adding Admob I'm using Android Studio 3.5.0 and when I finished my application it worked fine with minSdkVersion 16. However, when I added admob code it doesn't build. I kept upgrading till minSdkVersion 26 and com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1 but when the build finishes successfully, the app doesn't open at all. I tried on many smartphones but it's still crashing.

I've gone a little stipple crazy here lately. I stippled coffee mugs last week and this week I'm making DIY Stipple Easter Eggs!
It only took me about 45 minutes to make these four eggs and the process was really simple! You could easily give these as gifts to your guests at Easter Brunch, hang them from a tree in your yard, use them as place settings. So may options! I hung these in my office on my tassel garland. I think they're adorable!
I got a 6 pack of plastic eggs for €1 at the Nuremberg Easter Market, but I'm certain you can get them at any craft store in the US. If you don't have paint markets, use Sharpies. If you don't have a template, freehand it! The great thing about these eggs is that they don't have to be perfect to be beautiful!
Different colors, different patters… the possibilities are endless!
Clean the egg off with a cotton ball wet with rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry.
FOR THE EGGS with PATTERNS: Print the pattern and cut it out.
Apply the glue to the back of the pattern and place it on the egg where you like it.
Stipple around the pattern. Apple more dots closer and denser near the pattern.
FOR THE EGGS with STRIPES: Place masking tape around the entire egg. Using your knife or blade, score the tape in strips and peel off the tape.
Stipple with the paint markers between the tape strips. Make sure to stipple in a uniform manner making sure to fill in any blank spaces.
FOR ALL PATTERNS: Allow the paint to dry before removing the pattern/tape. About 2 minutes.
Once the pattern has been removed, use the knife to get an excess glue or paper off the egg. Dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and clean off any excess glue or tape. You can also rub off any unwanted paint… gently making sure not to smear what you do want.
Attach a piece of string or elastic to the hook and tie a knot to secure a loop.
I hung these eggs on a DIY tassel garland that I made for my office. But you could hang yours anywhere! The possibilities are endless!


I'm getting very up with this weather in the UK - one minute it is blazing sunshine, the next it's pouring down. Regardless I am determined to dress for summer. Over our long weekend (thank you, Queen Elizabeth) I popped into H and M and spotted a pair of fab scalloped shorts for a bargain £9.99 (here).
Finally, if you enjoy reading South Molton St Style it would mean the world to me if you could vote for me in the Cosmopolitan Blogger Awards here. Thank you MILLIONS in advance.
i should get something like that white skirt!
I LOVE, love, love those skirts and the dresses!
Love the scallops! I love that white skirt at the top with the blue, especially. So gorgeous.
I love the chloe scallop bikinis!!


As if we aren't so fragile after all.
But my god, we are so fragile.
Every word, whisper, everything, has the power to break us.
But how can we not?
How? How can they do this? How can they use their existence to hate in a world that can be so beautiful?
Do they not know that there are souls hiding behind that flesh?
A beating heart? A thinking mind? A whole universe hidden beneath the skin that hides our tired bones?
That our heartbeats are so carefully tuned to a rhythm all our own.
That at any second our song can abruptly end, and our souls will go back to the sky, where they long so desperately to be.
Sprinkled sporadically with stardust that sinks into our skin to bring us vivid dreams of a place far away from where we stand, somewhere we can run wild with the storms in our eyes and the fires in our hearts.
Hearts that bloom like wildflowers, beautiful, bright, and free.
While watering a flower will fill its potential.
The potential of each of us is as fragile as the petals of a daisy.
Some people will never understand that we don't need to be picked and placed on a table in a humble home.
How strange is it that we live under the same sky as people who don't know how to water flowers?


Federal Loan Consolidation is a process that allows you to combine multiple federal education loans into one loan. Once the consolidation is complete, you will have a single monthly payment on the new Direct Consolidation Loan instead of multiple monthly payments on the loans you consolidated, and a smaller payment amount each month.
However, consolidation also means the loss of all interest-free periods as well as the loss of cancellation benefits. Also, a longer repayment period means you will pay more interest over the life of the loan.
Federal Consolidation Loan information is available on www.studentaid.gov. If you have questions about consolidating your federal education loans before you apply, you can also call the Loan Consolidation Information Call Center at 800-557-7392.

If you've ever cringed at your neighbor for parking their Carrera 911 out on the street during the winter, then we're fairly confident that you value taking proper care of your very own Porsche. Do you have a dedicated garage space for your favorite German sports car, or do you even wash and wax it just about every week? If so, then we think that you'll get along quite well with our independent Porsche specialists here at HOUSE Automotive.
Finally, A "Porsche Mechanic Near Me" Who Cares!
You see, our end goal is not simply just to fix your car. Our independent Porsche repair experts in Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area share your passion for a fun and inspired driving experience. We believe that driving should be an engaged and exciting experience, and we also believe that our fellow Porsche owners deserve an independent Porsche mechanic team that's as excited about your ride as you are. So, when it comes to blabbing on about that exhaust upgrade or bragging to us about the latest cruise up in the foothills, go ahead and run your mouth about it, because we're all ears when it comes to anything Porsche-related.
Because we care so much, our local Porsche mechanic in Pasadena is going to cover some care tips to help give your own Porsche the special treatment that it deserves. Learn more about our signature approach to Porsche repair and maintenance by visiting here.
Save the snacking for your kitchen or dining room, and for drinks other than water safely contained in a bottle, try to avoid consuming these things in your car. Disciplined car owners are able to keep the interior of their vehicle in mint condition by outlawing fast food and other smelly, greasy items from entering inside. We understand that this is easier said than done (as life is often unpredictable and sometimes you might find yourself doing things in your car that you probably shouldn't be), but so long as your Porsche isn't your daily driver, you should be fine. By keeping it to just water safely contained in a bottle, the resale value of your Porsche will thank you later. Plus, it's nice for the interior not to smell like cheap food, unless it's In-N-Out Burger, of course.
In general, this is good to know (hopefully drivers of any sort don't need to be reminded that they should be gassing their car when it gets low on fuel), but filling your tank when it gets around halfway to one-third full is a good idea. Why? Well, the quality of the gas in your tank tends to decline as you burn through it. By the time your gas light comes on, the fuel you're using is usually chalked-full of sediments and other bottom-of-the-barrel fuel qualities. To run on the most optimal gas, consider filling up when you've burned through about half a tank of gas.
If your 911 is rated for a certain octane of fuel (this information is usually found near the gas cap), please use the manufacturer-recommended octane. That is to say, do not use the watery, discount 85 octane fuel at the Walmart pumps just to save a burrito-worth's money at the pump. Using lower-quality fuel than what the car was built for over the course of even just a few weeks or a few months can negatively affect your engine life, oil quality, fuel economy, and even performance aspects of your vehicle. Just like our bodies, certain high-performance vehicles (i.e. most Porsches) are designed to run on high-quality fuel, so use it! Besides, if you already own a nice Porsche, chances are that you shouldn't be attempting to save a little money by using sub-par gas.
The best way to ensure optimal mechanical performance from your Porsche is to visit your friendly independent Porsche mechanic team here in Pasadena. HOUSE Automotive performs all routine maintenance as well as major fixes and everything in between for virtually all Porsche models. We respect our fellow Pasadena Porsche owners who truly care about their vehicle, and we're happy to provide excellent independent Porsche repair services to the greater Los Angeles community. For independent Porsche service that you can truly trust, get in touch with HOUSE Automotive now!


VAN BUREN COUNTY, Mich. (Feb. 13, 2014) — FOX 17 obtained a copy of the letter written by Van Buren County commissioners to Sheriff Dale Gribler. He's accused of misusing taxpayer dollars.

There is always a online webkinz sale here. You will be able to find any webkinz you are looking for here too. These pets are great collector's items and and are still very popular. Just about everybody I know has one. I am quite sure this is the same for you. How about adopting your little pooch today.


Having a healthy body is the foundation for living a happy and fulfilled life and yet in this day and age it is something that is increasingly challenging to achieve due to our changing lifestyles, pressure of work, environment etc.
However, many of us take our health for granted and assume that you can put anything in your body and it will somehow cope. It certainly does an amazing job of constantly adapting to our changing habits but if those habits are continually challenging for the body, it will start to send out warning signs so it's important for us to listen to those and not just take a pill to silence them and then keep on pushing the body past its natural limits.
I often given the example of someone walking into a car showroom and paying loads of money in cash for that gorgeous sportscar they've had their eye on and as the salesperson goes to give them the key so they can drive this luscious dream-mobile away, he says, "just so you know, it uses unleaded and you'll need this special oil for the engine and distilled water in the radiator and a service once a year" etc, so of course it makes sense that you wouldn't then go and try and shove pizza down the fuel cap or 4 pints of lager into the radiator and yet we do this to our bodies and still expect peak performance!! Our body is the vehicle that gets us around, so it's important to give the body what it needs and then it can give us what we need – a clear head, all body parts functioning perfectly, loads of energy and no sickness either!
People often say "you are what you eat" and this is of course true, however, I would expand on that and say "you are what you put in your body, on your body and around your body and of course what you put your body through too" (e.g. in terms of daily exercise/movement etc) . What this then means is, in addition to what you eat and drink, it is also important to really pay attention to what you put on your body in terms of shampoo, moisturiser, deodorant, nail varnish, make-up etc and what you have around you in terms of computers, mobile (cell)phones, microwave ovens, air quality, noise etc and of course to choose the right exercise regime for you. All this can impact us in varying ways and if we make the right choices, we can create a dis-ease free existence and so enjoy a happy, healthy and long life!!! Someone once said, we don't degenerate because we age, we age because we degenerate! i.e. take care of what you got and your body will take care of you!
Too many prescription drugs are randomly sold based on a quick and often expensive consultation with your doctor who doesn't have time to determine the root cause of your problems and is merely dealing with the symptoms. Drugs have side effects and in the long term they are not a solution as don't deal with the causative reasons for problems.
We use some very helpful biofeedback methods like Energy Field imaging (EFI Photon Pro) that safely shows the energetic status of the body or an easy Hair Profiling Test that has been developed with German scientists to look at levels of bacteria, parasites, toxins, radiation, foods that suit or stress you, and also gives a vitamin and mineral status, as well as amounts of amino and essential fatty acids in the body.
We provide assessments first. We aim for results and to motivate you to make better informed health choices. We can tell when the client hasn't made an effort. Change has to be made by clients first, they are the ones in control, and we act as guides to help them adopt an improved lifestyle, encourage them to quit their bad habits and support them to take responsibility for their wellbeing.
We create a healthcare plan for each person and most feel improvements within a couple of weeks, providing they aren't chronically ill, that will take longer. Most people require cleansing to rid their body of pollutants, toxins and parasites that clog and hold back treatment method: it's not rocket science as some would have you believe; it's about balancing the whole body/mind system and understanding the causes and addressing them.
Perhaps the largest problem we face today is the lack of quality nutrition, the modern western diet is filled with sugars, chemicals, low quality salt and stabilisers which all cause health problems. We tailor a diet to specific blood and body type of our client, so they begin to eat foods which agree with their own specific system, also we recommend supplements with essential minerals and vitamins as most modern foods lack these nowadays; this allows homoeostasis, that is the body's ability to heal itself. This is the vital part of creating a balanced environment to aide the body to rebalance and therefore return to a place of complete health, so you feel great not just some days but every day!
If you'd like to know more and explore the deeper aspects of how to keep your body in prime condition and get the real deal on many food products or non-food products!! out there then click here to find out more about having a Health Coaching session (either online or in person). An initial consultation generally lasts 90 mins-2 hours with a follow-up session lasting an hour. If you're ready to make the changes in your lifestyle to get full enjoyment out of your life then it will be my pleasure to support your journey back to full, fabulous health to create a new rejuvenated, energised and happy YOU!

Taking the temperature of big game

Graduate students monitor thermoregulation habits, climate impact on moose and bison
Big game are usually adaptive mammals, but temperature increases in Alaska and the Great Plains pose a threat to moose and bison.
This comes as no surprise to Jeff Martin, Ph.D., and Dan Thompson, Ph.D., both recent graduates from the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, who dedicated their doctoral research to examining the effects of warming temperatures on big game.
One component of Martin's research measured heat flux in bison, while Thompson aimed to understand body temperature regulation in moose.
Understanding how large game respond to rising temperatures provides key insights into the future sustainability of moose and bison populations on landscapes where increased warming has become a concern.
Perry Barboza, Ph.D., a Texas A&M AgriLife Research professor in the Departments of Ecology and Conservation Biology and Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management, served as Martin and Thompson's primary mentor for the duration of their program.
"Critical areas of bison habitat and moose habitat are getting hotter and that is affecting the productivity of moose and bison," Barboza said. "These animals are keystones to their ecology, culturally important and vital to the livelihood of many."

British Prime Minister Theresa May sought Thursday to woo MPs with a promise of more power over the next stage of Brexit as she fought to save her EU withdrawal deal ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote next week.
The so-called backstop is the key reason many of her own Conservative MPs and her Northern Irish allies opposed the divorce deal, putting her on course for defeat in Tuesday's vote.
"People are concerned about the role of the UK in making these decisions. And the obvious, in terms of the UK, is for it to be parliament that makes these decisions," May told BBC radio.
Civil servants on Thursday briefed senior MPs and ministers on plans for a "no deal scenario", which some commentators suggested would focus minds on the implications of rejecting the agreement.
Former prime minister Tony Blair told reporters at an event in parliament: "Personally I don't see what the point is of going down with a huge defeat."
In Brussels, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said the deal was "the only and best agreement possible".
"Now is the moment for everyone to take their responsibilities," he told a committee of regional representatives.
But the European Court of Justice may yet throw a spanner in the works with a ruling due Monday on whether London has the right to simply call off the entire Brexit process.
May has rejected the idea. But with her deal facing defeat and Brussels not budging, the premier's range of options appears to be shrinking.
May commands a slim majority in the House of Commons thanks to a deal with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), but the DUP is fiercely opposed to her plan.
Her chance to convince Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to give her more time in a one-on-one TV debate, which had been expected on Sunday, vanished when the second of two channels in discussions about carrying it live pulled out Thursday.
Corbyn and May had spent more than a week arguing about the potential debate's format.
But the premier received some good news when the DUP's parliamentary deputy leader Nigel Dodds said his party would back May in a confidence vote if one comes after her deal is defeated.
"Having achieved our aim trying to get to a better deal, it would be illogical then to turn around the next day and say 'let's vote the government out'," he told ITV.
"I think then we start on a process to try to get a better deal."
Under May's deal, if the new trade deal is not ready in June 2020, Britain will have an option to extend the transition for up to two years to avoid going into the backstop.
"This is simply not possible," he tweeted.
"Under her deal, the EU has the legal right to stop us extending the transition and make us enter the backstop -- whatever the PM or parliament says."

Women's Equality Day: Naomi Barber's Outlook on Women in the Optometric Industry
by erikatun | Life at Specsavers | Posted on 26 August 2022
Q: Why is it important to you to see women represented in the optometry field?
I think it's important to see women represented in every field. For optometry, we're in a position where our scope of practice is increasing and we're able to harness clinical technology to impact on patient outcomes like never before. Whether in research, teaching, professional services or provision of patient care, there are so many opportunities for female optometrists to advance the profession in new and innovative ways.
Q: What was it like as a woman, getting into the optometry profession?
Women make up more than 50% of the optometry workforce in many countries. This is a growing trend and we've seen a complete turnaround from a male dominated industry only 20-30 years ago. As this continues, this adds a real richness to the way we think about optometrists as professionals, how we contribute to our communities, and how we integrate with other health professionals and is driving a positive cycle of equality in the profession.
Q: Did you have any female role models or mentors you could look to that got you interested in optometry?
It was my optometrist, Dr. Ed Howell who inspired and encouraged me to enter the field. I've been incredibly fortunate to have the support of incredibly visionary male mentors in the industry throughout my career. The thing they have in common is that they champion commitment, dedication, and hard work – irrespective of gender. It's my wholehearted belief that we always achieve the most when we embrace what men and women offer.
Q: 10 years from now, what changes do you hope to see with women in the optometry field?
I'm excited to see the progress being made when it comes to life and work balance for optometrists. There is so much to be done to better protect and care for optometrists so they can give their best to patients and we're becoming really innovative in the way we empower women as business owners and clinicians. I think there is real opportunity for optometry to lead the way amongst health professions to advocate for, and implement, sustainable practices that allow women to accomplish great things without sacrificing their mental health and wellbeing.
Q: How do you strive to create opportunities for women in your work?
There is always work to be done. It's important to be mindful of working preferences, even subtle things can lend themselves to inequality in the workplace and small changes can make a big difference. But probably the thing that I've observed the most is that women often intrinsically lack confidence. They have everything it takes to achieve great things but are less likely to put themselves forward. It matters that we take extra care to nurture confidence

Gwendolen () is a feminine given name, in general use only since the 19th century.

It has come to be the standard English form of Latin Guendoloena, which was first used by Geoffrey of Monmouth as the name of a legendary British queen in his History of the Kings of Britain (). He reused the name in his Life of Merlin (c. 1150) for a different character, the wife of the titular magician "Merlinus", a counsellor to King Arthur; the metre shows that Geoffrey pronounced it as a pentasyllable, Guĕndŏlŏēnă, with the "gu" pronounced . Dr. Arthur Hutson suggests that "Guendoloena" arose from a misreading of the old Welsh masculine name Guendoleu; Geoffrey may have mistaken the final U for an N, then Latinized *Guendolen as a feminine name to arrive at Guendoloena. In the Vita Merlini, however, Geoffrey Latinizes the masculine name of Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio as Guennolous.
Spelled Gwendoloena, the name reoccurs in the anonymous Latin romance De Ortu Waluuanii belonging to Arthur's queen Guinevere.

It did not become a common English given name until the 19th century. Gwendoline was in use in England by the 1860s (an early example being Lady Gwendoline Anson, born c. 1837, a daughter of the 1st Earl of Lichfield), and Gwendolen appeared in Daniel Deronda, written by George Eliot and published in serialized form 1874–6.

Home Cars 1960s Muscle Cars That Aged Quite Well (Plus Five That Are Hideous)
1960s Muscle Cars That Aged Quite Well (Plus Five That Are Hideous)
Cameron EittreimMay 24, 2021
16: 1967 Ford Galaxie 7-Litre
Just because the Mustang was hogging the press at the time, doesn't mean Ford didn't innovate with the Galaxie as well. While you might not consider the Galaxie a muscle car, it was. The 1967 Ford Galaxie 7-Litre was blazingly fast and a bruiser on the streets. True, gas mileage was awful but who cares when you're having this much fun.
Reliability is not the best but these cars have managed to hang onto their attractive looks. The 1967 Ford Galaxie 7-Litre is not the most common muscle car on the road but it will leave you with a smile. Released at the pinnacle of the muscle car era, the Galaxie 7-Litre was a stellar car with a timeless style.

15: 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Z16
The Chevelle is a car with a storied history in the Chevy lineup. Starting as a barebones muscle car, it worked its way up through the lineup. Nowadays, the Chevelle is one of the rarest and most expensive cars that drivers can get. The 396 V8 is one of the better engines to come out of Detroit around the muscle car era.
Finishing the design was the light curb weight of the car, which allowed it to handle quite well. GM sold a boatload of these Chevelle models because of the lightweight design and fast performance. It also created quite a stir in the muscle car market because the resale value of these cars is such a highly-valued commodity.
14: Buick Riviera GS
GM had a lot of different brands on the table in the 1960s and Buick was one of them. Buicks weren't marketed as performance cars, but the Riviera GS still latched onto consumers. The aggressive styling and quick performance made the car a welcomed addition to the muscle car space. The Buick Riviera GS is strongly considered one of the best muscle cars that money can buy.
The resale value of it is among the highest of the GM cars that were built on this platform. If you're considering a Buick Riviera GS, you are going to not only spend a lot of money but also a lot of time searching for one.
13: 1965 Chevrolet Nova SS
While often overshadowed by the other muscle cars of this era, the 1965 Chevrolet Nova SS is a marvel of design. The no-frills style of the car fits in the muscle car era. Bold proportions in the back gave the Nova an aggressive stance. Likewise, the Nova came equipped with a powerful standard motor. The Nova has managed to cement itself as the standard-bearer of muscle car performance.
Valuation for these cars is still on the rise and the market just keeps getting hotter. Few cars have managed to top the Nova in terms of styling or value for the price. This is a no-frills muscle car with a good amount of power to it.
12: 1965 Ford Mustang 289 HiPo
The 1965 Ford Mustang 289 HiPo stood out from the crowd with a high-performance design. The 289 CI V8 made the Mustang 289 handle twists and turns with authority. But it was on the straightaway that this car shined. Mustangs in general around this time were still new. The 289 HiPo did quite well for a performance vehicle.
Styling was kept pretty modest and the interior had a no-frills design. But that's what people loved about the Mustang from this period. It was just plain fun to drive at a time when cars weren't too fun overall.
11: 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2
Although the GTO took over as the performance car of the Pontiac lineup, the Catalina was kept alive as well. This time it was marketed as the Catalina 2+2 and if you wanted performance and style, this was the way to get it. Pontiac pulled out all the stops to make the Catalina something that drivers wanted to drive.
And the brand succeeded by delivering a compelling car that offered performance and style for a fraction of the price. The 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 was overshadowed by the GTO at the time so these are harder to come by. But if you want to experience authentic luxury and styling, the Catalina 2+2 is worth trying to get your hands on.
10: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
The SS 396 package was brand new for the 1966 model year. Powered by a serious 396 V8 rated at 375 HP, the Chevelle SS 396 could handle business. The SS 396 was a bold new move for the Chevelle line. At this point, GM was well ahead of the curve in the muscle car market and the car was unique. Styling was bold but not so much that it would turn you off. As far as the overall presence of the car, the Chevelle is among the most memorable cars of the muscle car era.
With the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, GM did everything right, at a time when consumers were vying for something else. The car didn't cost too much to buy and it handled racing and driving as you'd expect out of a rough and tough sports car.
9: 1966 Dodge Coronet 426 Hemi
The Dodge Coronet is not the first nameplate that comes to mind when you think of performance. But there is a good reason for that because MOPAR was saving its best for last. While the Coronet doesn't have the look and feel of the Charger, it did have the performance for a fraction of the price. Producing an over 500 HP, the Coronet 426 Hemi was not only a bruiser on the track but also showcased the Hemi engine.
Today, finding a Coronet 426 Hemi in good condition can definitely be a challenge. But the car was perhaps one of the best muscle cars to ever bear a Dodge badge. From a design standpoint, the car still drives great to this day, competing with the best of the best.

8: 1966 Dodge Charger
One of the most iconic muscle cars of all time, the Dodge Charger was not only brutish but it also performed well. The thing about the car that made it stand out besides the powerful engine was the look of the car. To this day the Charger brand remains one of the most iconic in the world. Original 1966 models are becoming increasingly hard to come by, even with more collectors.
From a performance standpoint, these cars could accelerate at a breakneck pace. Upgrades weren't hard to do and the car offered a lot of features for the price. Likewise, doing upgrades to the original Charger is also not difficult.
7: Shelby GT350
Carroll Shelby has always had his hand in something at Ford, and the GT350 was evidence of this. From a styling standpoint, the car was and still is gorgeous to this day. The overall look and appearance of the car were in line with the muscle cars of that era.
But the performance was another story, with a 289 V8 that delivered 306 HP. This was a Mustang model that meant business on the track. Production was limited and the special edition paint job was in line with the rest of the Shelby cars. Ford has done quite a few special editions Shelby GT350 models but this was the first and original model.
6: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
Finally, we have the original Camaro Z/28, which was slightly different from the SS models. The Z/28 had an appearance package that included ground effects and special edition wheels. On top of that, the car had a unique appearance that made it stand out from the ordinary Camaro.
Performance was better than you'd expect and the lightweight of the car helped things out quite a bit. In addition to that, the Z/28 had an upmarket interior that made things a lot more comfortable for the driver. To this day the Z/28 remains a hallmark of the Camaro line, incorporating speed and style in the same package.
5: 1967 Mercury Cougar (Hideous)
We're not sure what Ford was thinking with the design of the Cougar. A lot of the lines on the car are shared with the Mustang from the same era. While that's all good, the overall frontal design of the car leaves a lot to be desired. We're not sure if Ford was going for a luxury car or a performance car, because there is a mixture of both here.
The 390 V8 engine did make up for things in the looks department, but not enough to justify the confused styling of the car. It could be the main reason why the Cougar never attained the same type of popularity the Mustang did.
4: 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 (Hideous)
The Firebird has gone through multiple renditions of the design over the three generations of the car. It was never as mainstream as the Camaro but it did manage to find success. Take the Firebird 400 out for a ride on the other hand and you'll see something different. The Pontiac brand was at the pinnacle of design at this time, but the 400 just seemed to fall flat.
Perhaps the designers were stumped or focusing on performance alone. Few cars have managed to captivate enthusiasts as the Firebird did. There was just something about the car that resonated with consumers. It wasn't as popular as the Camaro or the Mustang managed to become in such a short period.
3: 1968 AMC Javelin (Hideous)
AMC was, at one point, one of the major automotive manufacturers in the country. Emphasizing design and performance the brand brought us some of the most iconic vehicles on the road, which includes the Jeep Cherokee. Sadly the Javelin didn't get the memo when it came to the looks department.
This particular muscle car was just downright ugly from the exterior and the interior wasn't much better. Collectors have been yearning for the Javelin in recent years as the classic car bubble heats up. With the basic bones of a muscle car, there is a lot of potential for this car if you're willing to put the time and money into it.
2: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T (Hideous)
The late 1960s were an iconic time for the muscle car industry and Dodge presented some changes to the Charger line. Unfortunately, the styling of the car just didn't stand the test of time. For starters, the body panels of the car were just too large, which still stands true with the current Charger models.
They are just big, and that's both good and bad. Still from a collector's standpoint, the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T stands out from the crowd. Performance was at the top of its game and this was right on the heels of the new EPA regulations.
1: 1968 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet
Ford kept the Torino line going for quite some time alongside the Mustang. There was a lot to like about the Torino but its styling wasn't one of the reasons. From a performance standpoint, the 1968 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet handled business as well as you could expect. There were subtle upgrades that many owners would do to these cars but for the most part, it was a great ride.
We just wish that Ford could have done something different with the styling. It didn't do the car any favors and shortly after this the Ford Torino was discontinued. The 1968 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet is by far one of the rarest and most controversial sports cars.

Q: Volley: No authentication challenges found I'm using Volley in an Android App to fetch data from the Misfit API (http://build.misfit.com). I tried to construct an intermittent activity, after someone logged in, to get all the data from the API. In that activity, I perform a JsonObject GET request, that should give me some information about the user of the app. Here's the code so far:
package com.iss_fitness.myapplication;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.View;

import com.android.volley.Request;
import com.android.volley.RequestQueue;
import com.android.volley.Response;
import com.android.volley.VolleyError;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.Volley;

import org.json.JSONObject;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import learn2crack.weboauth2.R;

public class LoadingScreenActivity extends Activity {

    //Introduce an delay
    private final int WAIT_TIME = 500;
    private static final String QUERY_URL = "https://api.misfitwearables.com/move/resource/v1/user/me/profile";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        System.out.println("LoadingScreenActivity  screen started");
        setContentView(R.layout.loading_screen);
        findViewById(R.id.mainSpinner1).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        // Instantiate the RequestQueue.
        final RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                executeJson();
                System.out.println("Going to Profile Data");
                /* Create an Intent that will start the ProfileData-Activity. */
                Intent mainIntent = new Intent(LoadingScreenActivity.this, DataView.class);
                LoadingScreenActivity.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
                LoadingScreenActivity.this.finish();
            }
        }, WAIT_TIME);
    }

    private Response.ErrorListener createRequestErrorListener() {

        return new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                System.out.println(error);
            }
        };
    }

    private void executeJson() {
        SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("AppPref", MODE_PRIVATE);
        final String token = prefs.getString("token", null);
        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
        System.out.println(token);
        params.put("access_token", token);
        CustomRequest jsonRequest = new CustomRequest(Request.Method.GET, QUERY_URL, params,
                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        System.out.println(response);
                    }
                }, this.createRequestErrorListener());
        System.out.println(jsonRequest);
        queue.add(jsonRequest);
    }
}

I'm quite new to Android development, so please bear with me, I'll try to describe the code. I've implemented a help class as suggested for JsonObjectRequest, as, as I understood, you can't override the getparams method when defining a request locally. the executeJson() method is the interesting one: I get the user access token from my SharedPreferences (Where it's correctly stored), put that in a String Map and give that to the CustomRequest, where, inside the help class, it gets thrown into a getparams method that simply returns the params. The responselistener sadly never gets called, as the errorlistener reports the following:
com.android.volley.NoConnectionError: java.io.IOException: No authentication challenges found

According to the API reference of Misfit, that should work.
Now, I know that a GET request requires "headers" and not "params" but does that make any difference?

A: Okay, I found a solution. The helper class contained an overriding getparams method, but no getheaders method. GET request requires getheaders, post requires getparams.

Kamenice () je zaniklá vesnice v okrese Ústí nad Labem. Nacházela se jeden kilometr severozápadně od Habrovic na severním okraji Ústí nad Labem. Kamenice zanikla v roce 1965 v důsledku těžby hnědého uhlí.

Název
Původní název vesnice Kamýk se časem změnil přechodem z lokálu "v Kamýce" na Kamenici a dalším jazykovým vývojem prošel i německý tvar Kamitz. V historických pramenech se název objevuje ve tvarech: Camic (1196), na Kameniczi (1429), "w kameniczy" (1546), Kameniczy (1615, 1618), "ve vsi Khemniczy" (1628), Kemnicze (1654), Kamnitz (1720) a Kamitz (1787 a 1833).

Historie
První písemná zmínka o Kamenici pochází z roku 1196, kdy osada s půdorysem okrouhlice patřila řádu johanitů. Vesnice zanikla roku 1965 v důsledku těžby hnědého uhlí. Zůstalo v ní stát několik domů, které se časem změnily ve zříceniny.

Přírodní poměry
Kamenice stávala v katastrálním území Dělouš na východním úpatí Jedlové hory v nadmořské výšce 319 metrů. Oblast se nachází ve výběžku Českého středohoří, konkrétně jeho okrsku Ústecké středohoří. V Quittově klasifikaci podnebí Kamenice stávala na rozhraní mírně teplých oblastí MT4 (východně od vsi) a MT9 (západně od vsi). Pro oblast MT9 jsou typické průměrné teploty −3 až −4 °C v lednu a 17–18 °C v červenci. Roční úhrn srážek dosahuje 650–750 milimetrů, počet letních dnů je 40–50, počet mrazových dnů se pohybuje mezi 110 až 130 a sněhová pokrývka zde leží 60–80 dnů v roce. V oblastí MT4 bývají průměrné teploty −2 až −3 °C v lednu a 16–17 °C v červenci. Roční úhrn srážek dosahuje 500–750 milimetrů, sníh zde leží 60–80 dní v roce. Mrazových dnů bývá 110–130, zatímco letních dnů jen 20–30.

Obyvatelstvo
Při sčítání lidu v roce 1921 zde žilo 65 obyvatel (z toho 31 mužů), z nichž bylo 64 Němců a jeden cizince. Kromě jednoho evangelíka se hlásili k římskokatolické církvi. Podle sčítání lidu z roku 1930 měla vesnice 45 obyvatel: 43 Němců a dva cizince. Všichni byli římskými katolíky.

Obecní správa a politika
Při sčítání lidu v letech 1869–1950 Kamenice byla osadou obce Dělouš. V letech 1961–1971 patřila jako část obce k Úžínu a dne 26. listopadu 1971 byla úředně zrušena. Pozůstatky vesnice byly připojeny k městské části Ústí nad Labem-město.

In this Lecture, David Verdesi talks about the profound impact of Self-knowledge towards healing. Healing of the Mind, the psyche, the emotional body and the physical body.
Self-knowledge is very much tied at the root ignorance that causes the primary defilements, which are in themselves the causes of obscured view (diseased thought), which start from a disease at the mental level and subsequently propagate to a disease in the psyche, the emotional level, and the physical level.
David Verdesi reveals how a process of self-knowledge can severe the problem at its root and in some cases cause a domino effect that triggers healing at multiple levels of our existence, often reaching all the way to the physical level which is the most gross aspect of our being and the one we can most easily perceive.
When angels rule the Earth, they heal with songs"

When I broke my leg in mid May I was fortunate enough through the fabulous connections of Eventing Worldwide to be offered a human Arc4Health to use. I have heard about ArcEquine for horses, and I was aware that my long term mentor Lucinda Fredericks was a big fan of the product, as are many other people whose opinions I would respect. So I was very grateful to be able to use one on myself.
I am pleased to say that I am delighted with the Arc4Health. It is easy and comfortable to use, and causes absolutely no pain or discomfort, I am healing well and ahead of schedule so I am very grateful not to mention happy!
The Arc4Health uses non invasive micro current technology to boost the body's production of ATP and therefore stimulate the natural cell repair process, by increasing ATP production by up to 500%. That's the science bit; now for the reality, as to be honest I am interested in anything that was going to enable me to heal better, and faster! What is it, and what does using it involve?
I have injured my left leg and so I when I use my Arc4Health I wear it around my right ankle. It has two sticky squares that go on either side of the ankle and then the strap clips in to these, very easily and stays there. I ensure that the two squares sit directly opposite each other either side of my leg. It has a battery power pack that has a slot to slide into on the strap. It is easy to charge and I have been really impressed with how easily the battery pack holds its charge. I thought would have to charge it up after use each time, but actually it normally goes about three / four uses before you have to charge it up.
The battery pack determines the settings and programmes that you would like to use and again this is very straight forward. I am not the most technologically minded but with two buttons it is difficult to go wrong. You need to wear it for up to three hours at a time. It's a set programme though so you can just put it on and forget about it. However you do need to be relatively still during those three hours whilst it's on, so for the sake of practicality I normally put it on when I go to bed and just take it off in the morning. It is comfortable enough to sleep in.
I have by no means finished healing at this point, but I have been given extremely positive feedback on how well things are progressing. This feedback has come from both the highly respected surgeons at Southmead Hospital who have done regular checks and X-rays, and also the outstanding physiotherapists at Oaksey House. In both cases they have been delighted with the progress of my healing and already how speedily I have been able to start proper physiotherapy and moving it around. I have been able to dispense with my crutches weeks ahead of schedule. The Arc team, especially Tash Thirkell have been extremely helpful and supportive and have been on hand for any questions, and I recommend them extremely highly. So I am most grateful for this little small, quiet, non invasive pain free gem that has appeared.
Since being so happy with it I am delighted to say that I have recommended it to a foreign client, I don't do this lightly as I am extremely careful about my reputation especially overseas. In this case I recommended it to a Japanese client who is a Grand Prix show jumping rider and when he was over here in the UK last month he bought a human and an equine version and took them back to Japan. He reports that he has been thrilled with both these products, finding them comfortable and easy to use. So it is not just me who is pleased!

Q: Apache using TLS1.0 even if configure with TLS1.2 I have issues when to make my apache server uses TLS1.2. I respect all recommended configuration (ssl.conf, virtuals, ciphers ...) but apache is all the time using TLS1.0. I suspect the version of openssl to be the root cause.
Environment : RHEL 7
openssl version : OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips
Apache version : Apache/2.4.6
I have this message on browser dev tools even though configuration seems to be ok :
The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using TLS 1.0, ECDHE_RSA, and AES_256_CBC with HMAC-SHA1.
TLS 1.0 is obsolete. Enable TLS 1.2 or later.
AES_256_CBC is obsolete. Enable an AES-GCM-based cipher suite.

can you help on this please ?

A: Make sure you have restarted apache.
And, make sure this line is added, and make sure all other SSLProtocol are commented using # at the start of the line, or removed:
SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2 +TLSv1.3

Or, if your version of OpenSSL doesn't support TLSv1.3:
SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2

I absolutely recommend you to update to the latest version of Apache (2.4.46 at the time of this post), and OpenSSL 1.1.1.
You can use SSL Labs to test your website's SSL conf.
Next:

AES_256_CBC is obsolete. Enable an AES-GCM-based cipher suite.

For the above, you can test your site on SSL Labs, and see the ciphers that are green and orange, and you can implement them by using https://testssl.sh/openssl-iana.mapping.html for help


I was first alerted to the existence of said drinking vessel manufacturers on the Twittering Device. Following an appeal for a moustache cup, the lovely Tom from My Moustache Cup dispatched a message in 140 characters or less by way of introduction.
If you're not familiar with the term 'moustache cup', it is not to be confused with a mug simply bearing a moustache on the side. A moustache cup is actually a specially made drinking receptacle with a little 'ledge' on the inside to keep your top lip topiary from getting wet or steamed from the hot liquid inside.
Popular in the Victorian age, when large upper lip appendages were standard issue for any self-respecting gentleman, demand for this ingenious tea drinking implement sadly dwindled somewhat.
Thankfully, My Moustache Cup have now emerged to save hirsute men from a condition known as 'lipsweaselsoakia'.
As well as offering a number of ready-made moustache cups, this Lancastrian company also deals with bespoke orders. Naturally, I couldn't resist placing an order for a left-handed cup made to my exact requirements. Marvellous.
Giving Tom my brief, but allowing him creative licence, he produced a rather charming sketch. Note, the Norton of Morton bowler and handlebar, using a little technique called 'sgraffito'.
Being a splendid chap and all round good egg, Tom proceeded to send me pictorials of my self-coined 'Cup of Champions' during its journey from clay ball to finished cup.
As if that wasn't enough, my moustache cup also arrived gloriously packaged.
It has been an absolute joy to deal with My Moustache Cup. Old-fashioned customer service at it's very best. With 25% of profit going to Prostate Cancer UK, it would be rather rude to turn your moustache up at supporting a British enterprise.
What a beautifully packaged item!
I must agree, old stick. An utter joy to receive!

News Update August 17, 2015
A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE JOINS NEWTOWN FILM FEST!
As our exciting inaugural program continues to unroll, we are delighted to bring you another inspiring piece- A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE.
Derived from the feature length film titled Kuma Hina, A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE demonstrates the true meaning of aloha. An engaging learning piece, its learning goals (as stated on their official website aplaceinthemiddle.org) are vast and important, such as: understanding the power that comes from one's own culture and respecting the culture of others, the benefits of diversity to individuals, schools, and the broader community, the true meaning of aloha and its core concept of love, honor, and respect, not to mention many other points.
"The Newtown Programming team is honored to have A Place In the Middle as our opening short film!" says Cristin Carlin, Founder and Executive Director, Newtown Film Festival.
A PLACE IN THE MIDLE is the true-life story of a young Hawaiian girl who aspires to lead her school's all-male hula troupe and an inspiring teacher who uses traditional culture to empower her. She's fortunate that her teacher understands first-hand what it's like to be "in the middle" - the Hawaiian tradition of embracing both male and female spirit. Together they set out to prove that what matters most is what's in your heart.
Don't miss this one-of-a-kind, inspirational piece at the Newtown Film Fest. A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE will be screening at Edmond Town Hall Theatre on September 18, 6PM as the premiere film of the Opening Night Shorts program.
Make sure to spread the word, bring a group, and enjoy this fun and educational piece.
Please follow us on Twitter.com/NewtownFilmFest and Facebook.com/NewtownFilmFest for more information.
We are also currently on the lookout for local sponsors. If you are interested in being a part of this year's amazing community festival, please send an email to newtownfilmfest@gmail.com.
Food, media, and material sponsors are all welcome and appreciated!

New York City operates the largest municipal fleet in the United States, with over 28,000 units. Last December, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services issued a Request for Information to solicit ideas and proposals for advancing the NYC Clean Fleet initiative, aimed to reduce fleet emissions 50% by 2025. There were 77 formal responses from industry, including Nuvera's proposal to use electric forklifts and other industrial vehicles repowered by fuel cells. Implementing hydrogen infrastructure to service both on- and off-road vehicles using fuel cells could have a major impact in attaining New York Mayor DeBlasio's sustainability objectives. Nuvera presented its proposal in greater detail to New York City fleet managers in April, 2016.
At the Equipment and Vehicle Show, Bill Van Fossen (pictured left) and Bob Kehley (pictured right) of Eastern Lift Truck Company accompanied Gus Block of Nuvera Fuel Cells to display a Yale® counterbalance truck and a Nuvera® fuel cell system. Highlighting the ability for fast 3-minute fills, a Nuvera® hydrogen fueling dispenser rounded out the display.
ABOUT HYSTER AND YALE DEALER, EASTERN LIFT TRUCK CO.
Eastern Lift Truck Company is headquartered in Maple Shade, NJ and has 15 locations serving the Mid-Atlantic region. They offer a wide range of lift trucks and aerial lifts manufactured by Hyster®, Yale®, UTILEV®.


Make the marinade: Whisk 2 tablespoons cornstarch, the rice wine, oyster sauce and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Cut the tofu in half horizontally to make 2 large rectangles, then cut each rectangle into 4 squares. Add to the marinade and turn to coat.
Cook the peanuts in the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the nuts to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
Drain the tofu, reserving the marinade; sprinkle both sides with the remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch. Return the skillet to medium-high heat; add the tofu and cook until golden, 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the ginger, garlic, chiles and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and snap peas; stir-fry until crisp-tender. Whisk the marinade with 1 1/2 cups water, add to the skillet and stir until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu and nuts and heat through. If using dried chiles, remove before serving.

John Adler on Budget & Economy
Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending.
$7 billion Increase in Fund balance appropriation (without fiscal year limitation).
With respect to the Unemployment Trust Fund and to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund: Removes the FY2010 limitation as well as the specific dollar amount for such advances, replacing them with such appropriations as may be necessary.
Increases from $315 billion to $400 billion the maximum loan principal for FY2009 commitments to guarantee single family loans insured under the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF).
Increases from $300 billion to $400 billion the limit on new Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae) commitments to issue guarantees under the Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. LEWIS (D, GA-5): This bipartisan bill will provide the necessary funds to keep important transportation projects operating in States around the country. The Highway Trust Fund will run out of funding by September. We must act, and we must act now.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. CAMP (R, MI-4): [This interim spending is] needed because the Democrats' economic policy has resulted in record job loss, record deficits, and none of the job creation they promised. Democrats predicted unemployment would top out at 8% if the stimulus passed; instead, it's 9.5% and rising. In Michigan, it's above 15%. The Nation's public debt and unemployment, combined, has risen by a shocking 40% [because of] literally trillions of dollars in additional spending under the Democrats' stimulus, energy, and health plans.
We had a choice when it came to the stimulus last February. We could have chosen a better policy of stimulating private-sector growth creating twice the jobs at half the price. That was the Republican plan. Instead, Democrats insisted on their government focus plan, which has produced no jobs and a mountain of debt. Reference: Omnibus Appropriations Act Amendment; Bill H.R. 3357 ; vote number 2009-H659 on Jul 29, 2009
Voted YES on modifying bankruptcy rules to avoid mortgage foreclosures.
Congressional Summary:Amends federal bankruptcy law to exclude debts secured by the debtor's principal residence that was either sold in foreclosure or surrendered to the creditor.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. PETER WELCH (D, VT-0): Citigroup supports this bill. Why? They're a huge lender. They understand that we have to stabilize home values in order to begin the recovery, and they need a tool to accomplish it. Mortgages that have been sliced and diced into 50 different sections make it impossible even for a mortgage company and a borrower to come together to resolve the problem that they share together.
Sen. DICK DURBIN (D, IL): 8.1 million homes face foreclosure in America today. Last year, I offered this amendment to change the bankruptcy law, and the banking community said: Totally unnecessary. In fact, the estimates were of only 2 million homes in foreclosure last year. America is facing a crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:
Sen. JON KYL (R, AZ): This amendment would allow bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgages by lowering the principal and interest rate on the loan or extending the term of the loan. The concept in the trade is known as cram-down. It would apply to all borrowers who are 60 days or more delinquent. Many experts believe the cram-down provision would result in higher interest rates for all home mortgages. We could end up exacerbating this situation for all the people who would want to refinance or to take out loans in the future.
Rep. MICHELE BACHMANN (R, MN-6): Of the foundational policies of American exceptionalism, the concepts that have inspired our great Nation are the sanctity of private contracts and upholding the rule of law. This cramdown bill crassly undercuts both of these pillars of American exceptionalism. Why would a lender make a 30-year loan if they fear the powers of the Federal Government will violate the very terms of that loan? Reference: Helping Families Save Their Homes Act; Bill HR1106&S896 ; vote number 2009-H104 on Mar 5, 2009
Voted YES on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package.
Congressional Summary:Supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization, for fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2009.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. DAVID OBEY (D, WI-7): This country is facing what most economists consider to be the most serious and the most dangerous economic situation in our lifetimes. This package today is an $825 billion package that does a variety of things to try to reinflate the economy:
creating or saving at least 4 million jobs
rebuilding our basic infrastructure
providing for job retraining for those workers who need to learn new skills
moving toward energy independence
improving our healthcare system so all Americans can have access to quality treatment
providing tax cuts to lessen the impact of this crisis on America's working families.
Rep. JERRY LEWIS (R, CA-51): Most of us would agree that the recent $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is an illustration of how good intentions don't always deliver desired results. When Congress spends too much too quickly, it doesn't think through the details and oversight becomes more difficult. The lesson learned from TARP was this: we cannot manage what we do not measure. We cannot afford to make the same mistake again.
Sen. THAD COCHRAN (R, MS): We are giving the executive branch immense latitude in the disbursement of the spending this bill contains. We are doing so without any documentation of how this spending will stimulate the economy. Normally, this kind of information would be contained in an administration budget. For items that have a short-term stimulative effect, most of us will feel comfortable debating their merits as an emergency measure. But there is a great deal of spending that is not immediately stimulative. Reference: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; Bill H.R.1 ; vote number 2009-H046 on Jan 28, 2009
Voted YES on monitoring TARP funds to ensure more mortgage relief.
Congressional Summary:Requires specified depository institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to report periodically on their use of TARP assistance. Requires federal banking regulatory agencies to examine annually the use of TARP funds made by the deposit institutions.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. BARNEY FRANK (D, MA-4): Last year, after we responded to the urgent pleas of the Bush administration to authorize the $700 billion deployment of Federal funds to unstick the credit markets, many of us became very unhappy, [because Bush] repudiated commitments to use a significant part of the fund to diminish foreclosures. If we do not pass this bill today, we will make no progress in what is the single biggest economic problem we've been facing, namely, the foreclosure crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. RON PAUL (R, TX-14): There has been a lot of money spent to try to bail out the financial industry, and nothing seems to be working. I think it's mainly because we haven't admitted that excessive spending can cause financial problems, & excessive debt and inflation can cause problems.
Actually, the recession is therapy for all of the mistakes, but the mistakes come, basically, from a Federal Reserve system that's causing too many people to make mistakes. Interest rates are lower than they should be, so they don't save. That contributes to what we call "moral hazard" as well as the system of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac system. With the assumption that we're all going to be bailed out, people say, "Well, no sweat because, if there is a mistake, the government will come to our rescue." A private FDIC would never permit this massive malinvestment. There would be regulations done in the marketplace, and there would not be this distortion that we've ended up with. Reference: TARP Reform and Accountability Act; Bill H.R.384 ; vote number 2009-H026 on Jan 21, 2009
Truth in Spending: show actual costs vs. planned costs.
Adler signed H.R.5954
To increase the long-term fiscal accountability of direct spending legislation: Report Regarding Difference Between Actual and Estimated Costs of Direct Spending Legislation.
Initial Five-Year Report- Not later than January 15 of calendar year 2011 and each subsequent calendar year, the Director of the OMB shall submit to the President for inclusion in his annual budget, a report setting forth the following:
For all Acts affecting direct spending, the total cost as estimated for the budget year and four outyears, and the actual total cost for those years.
If the actual total cost of all such Acts exceeds the estimated total cost, then propose legislative language to eliminate such excess cost.
If the actual total cost of all such Acts exceeds the estimated total cost, then a detailed statement of the most likely reasons why that occurred.
