Mackie CR3LTD 3″ Multimedia Monitors, Silver Trim – Pair
Compact, Affordable True Reference Monitors
Mackie has over 20 years of experience in designing true reference monitors, and it shows. Their Creative Reference series multimedia Monitors deliver extraordinary functionality with high-quality components in a small-footprint, affordable form factor. The Mackie CR3LTD 3″ Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors pump out 50W of clean stereo sound from two 3″ woofers and two ferrofluid-cooled 0.75″ silk tweeters, and they have a broad frequency response range of 80Hz–20KHz. You can plug your smartphone or other audio source directly into the font-panel 1/8″ TRS input and listen via headphones through the front-facing headphone jack, which automatically defeats the speaker output when employed. Audiophiles and engineers at Sweetwater love the sound quality that comes from birch cabinet construction and custom-tuned rear bass ports — not to mention the included acoustic isolation pads!
Studio-quality monitoring at an entry-level price
The Mackie CR3LTD 3″ Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors are well-priced to suit just about any budget — but they aren't cheap. From their birch plywood cabinets to their ferrofluid-cooled tweeters to their smooth waveguide design, the CR3s are built with high-quality components and thoughtful design. The woofers' small size belies their low-end punch, and the silk tweeters, kept cool by ferrofluid, articulate superbly for pleasing treble frequency production. The custom-tuned rear bass ports and included acoustic isolation pads further enhance the CR3's sound quality, minimizing bass buildup and facilitating purer waveform production throughout their entire 80Hz–20kHz range.
High-value functionality
Mackie CR series reference monitors pack heavyweight punch in a small form factor. Each pair features 1/8″ TRS input on the front and dual RCA and 1/4″ phone jack inputs on the rear panel. There's a selector switch for determining which stereo channel (left or right) is sent to the powered speaker, so you can have it on your left or right, and the front panel's 3.5mm headphone jack conveniently mutes the speaker output when in use. And with 50W of power pushed through the built-in waveguide design, you can expect plenty of volume and smooth, clear sound dispersion at every listening level.
Mackie CR3LTD 3″ Creative Reference Multimedia Monitor Features:
Pair of true reference monitors with 3″ polypropylene-coated woofers and 0.75″ silk tweeters

Crossroads counters President Obama's campaign for a second stimulus plan
WASHINGTON – American Crossroads today announced the release of a TV ad in Colorado as part of its continuing campaign to aggressively counter President Obama's efforts to sell his second stimulus plan at state and local events.
With the president set to visit Colorado to promote his newest stimulus proposal, the American Crossroads TV ad, "Don't", started Tuesday and will run through Wednesday in the Denver market for a total buy of $50,000.
The ad, which features former President Bill Clinton decrying new tax increases in his own words, follows recent efforts in Missouri, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina to counter Obama's campaign for his second round of stimulus. The ad can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjymRN–Ytk
"President Obama's latest stimulus package faces bipartisan opposition because it is nearly identical to his first failed stimulus which wasted $830 billion as unemployment continued to rise," said American Crossroads director of state and regional media relations Nate Hodson. "Obama continues to campaign for failed policies, and his latest Band-Aid is an unserious answer to serious problems."
When Obama sold his first stimulus bill in 2009, he projected its passage would bring the unemployment rate down to 6.5 percent by the fall of 2011 – yet the current rate in Colorado is 8.3 percent.
American Crossroads is a non-profit 527 political organization dedicated to renewing America's commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free enterprise and a strong national defense through informed and effective political action. American Crossroads seeks to educate voters and empower citizens to hold lawmakers and office-seekers accountable for where they stand. Paid for by American Crossroads. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. dev-ac-www-americancrossroads.pantheon.io

Find out about how the Youth Justice Service works for SEND for our young people.
When a young person is released from custody they would normally be released on licence conditions and would continue to receive support from the Youth Justice Service. This includes information, advice and guidance support from the Youth Justice Service Education Liaison Adviser with regards to education, training and employment.
If a young person is of statutory school age, is on a school roll and receives a sentence of less than 6 months, they would return to their named school. If they were not on a school roll, they would be supported to find an appropriate placement through our Admissions, SEND Hub and fair access panel.
If they are post statutory school age, they would be supported into post 16 education, training or employment provision by the Youth Justice Service Education Liaison Adviser, their Youth Justice or Probation Officer, Leaving Care worker or Foundation Housing Worker (if appropriate).
If a young person potentially has a special educational need or disability, but nothing has been diagnosed, they would be offered a referral to the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Support Service to look towards statutory assessment. If the young person had an Education, Health and Care Plan before entering custody, they would receive a review of their Education, Health and Care Plan upon release and provision sourced as appropriate, with the help of the Youth Justice Service Education Liaison Adviser and our SEN Team.

Can IP Router IPR/S 2.1 and IPR/S 3.1.1 be operated in an IGMPv3 network environment?
It isn´t possible to use the IPR/S 2.1 in an IGMPv3 network because the router doesn´t support the protocol version 3.
Additionally KNXnet/IP doesn´t guarantee permanent data traffic which results in exceeding timeouts. This affects IGMPv1 and IGMPv2.
The IPR/S 3.1.1 only supports IGMPv3. Timeouts aren´t relevant in IGMPv3 because the switch polls.

All About Politics: Virginia Governor's Race
By November 13, 2017 0 97•
Ralph Northam will never be called Mr. Charisma. But that was not what the Virginia voters were looking for. They came out in big numbers on Nov. 7 not to vote for the Northam, a Democrat and the lieutenant governor, but to vote against Donald Trump.
The Republican nominee, Ed Gillespie, ran a disastrous campaign.
First of all, Gillespie, as I said before, was "dull as dishwater" and tried to be Trump without being Trump. He didn't want Trump to campaign with him or for him in the state. The picture of the two together, he correctly surmised, would be a political death sentence.
So, what did he do instead?
He desperately tried to appeal to the Trump supporters by running horrible TV ads that would appeal to the most base instincts and low-down preferences.
Race, crime and immigration were the topics. But the style was definitely "Willie Horton." He emulated George H.W. Bush's presidential campaign of 1988. Gillespie must have thought, "It worked for Bush, maybe it will work for me, too."
What the hideous TV ads did was ignite and inspire the anti-Trump vote.
Women, young people, African Americans, Latinos and college-educated voters decided they'd had enough. Even on a rainy day, they wanted to send a message that they were, as Republican Tom Davis aptly said, "juiced up."
With that soft, small-town Southern drawl, Northam was a non-threatening pol. He had other assets: he was a pediatric neurologist and an army veteran. He had a warm, reassuring manner. It didn't hurt that he came from the Hampton Roads area.
Thanks to these factors — coupled with enormous support from northern Virginia — he surprised everybody by winning by nine points.
Justin Fairfax is the new lieutenant governor. Four years ago, he came out of nowhere and almost was nominated by the Dems for attorney general.
Fairfax is seeking to model his political career after Doug Wilder. Following Wilder's term as lieutenant governor, he became the first African American governor of the Old Dominion. Fairfax grew up in D.C., then went to Duke and Columbia Law School.
Attorney General Mark Herring was reelected. You will probably see quite a rivalry between Fairfax and Herring over the next four years as each seeks to advance to the governor's office. They very well may face each other in a primary.
Corey Stewart, the right-wing firebrand who nearly beat Gillespie in the Republican primary, has already announced that he is running for the U.S. Senate in 2018. There is absolutely no way he can beat Tim Kaine. I believe Kaine will trounce him.
Going back to last Tuesday, the other big story was the Dems gaining so many seats in the 100-member House of Delegates.
Before Tuesday night, the lineup was 66 Republicans and 34 Democrats. The Dems are now very close to being the majority party. Two seats are yet to be determined.
There is also a possibility that the House will be tied 50-50. This development no one saw coming. At best, Dems were going to pick up eight seats.
Seventeen House seats were held by Republicans in districts that Hillary Clinton won. That stat gave some hope, but what occurred will fundamentally change the lower house. Medicaid may now be expanded in the state. The "purple" state of Virginia is without a doubt becoming a shade of blue.
Final point: Ralph Northam was eager to tell me that his mother was from D.C. He said she grew up on Woodley Road.
Hope this is a good sign for D.C.

The economic outlook of late has caused many companies to rethink their spending. For some reason, marketing and advertising budgets have gotten the short end of the stick, while more resources are dumped into "fail-proof," data-driven plans.
The problem is that creativity might be the only way for some companies to dig themselves free. Conservative is the new risky. "Playing it safe" means imminent failure. But creativity doesn't have to be expensive.
Check out these ads from Eskom (sustainable development) and Durex.
The ads aren't colorful or flashy - they're just clever. There aren't a lot of printing costs associated with these, and, in fact, the Eskom billboard is saving on electricity.
The same can be true for your own marketing efforts. Make them simple, but clever. Don't worry about getting commercials on every television and radio station in the world - you can blast them out to the right audience through free media like YouTube or Facebook. Build your brand on Twitter rather than the New York Times; that way, you know only the people who are really interested will find you.
The line between advertising and PR is getting blurry, but the bottom line is clearer than ever - spend your time and resources on creativity, and word of mouth will become the greatest marketing tool of them all.

Active security
With the growing problem on our borders, no one has yet come up with a viable solution. Border states claim, correctly, that it is a federal problem while the federal government continues to play partisan politics while failing to address the issue. If the federal government can't or won't act, the states have that power under the direction of our constitution. So why won't the states act or mobilize their National Guard Units ? The answer is money....who is going to pay for something that is the federal government's responsibilty. However, lets look a bit deeper and figure out where the federal money is ultimately going to come from. As always, that answer is from the taxpayer. What all have to realize is that the solution is like the old Fram Oil filter commercials, "pay me now or pay me later".....either way, we the tax payers, can pay less now, or pay much more later, that payment on a state or federal level, but a payment none the less ! Here is an idea....let all border states activate their National Guard Units immediately, requesting a percentage of cost to be paid by surrounding non-border states. Any surrounding states that refuse to help with the border state costs would then become subject to the border states bussing the kids to their states for their final disposition. Sounds like "tough love", but these are hard problems that all need to help solve on a state level since federal help is mired down...as always. It can't hurt to try. I often say "do something, right or wrong, but do something !" Here's another idea. Ocean front beach communities frequently have shark problems and put up "shark nets" to keep them out. A "shark net" extending down the middle of the Rio Grande, going from subsurface to 3-4 feet high would stop the rafts and small boats as well as swimmers trying to cross. Cheaper in the long run than more boats and personnel and something that would not affect water flow or anything else. There are solutions, we just have to look for them !

Bumper scratch repair can be a costly process if you need to make a claim on your insurance. You will likely have to pay your deductible and that might end up being more than what it costs to repair. You might just decide that it's cheaper for you to repair it yourself, in which case you will just need a few items and some time on your hands.
Scratches vary in size, shape and length, as do bumpers. If your car bumper is color coded to your vehicle you can still mend it yourself. You will need masking tape, matching paint, clear top coat, sandpaper and a sponge and soapy water. Start by rubbing down the area and sanding it smooth. You will lose some paint from the undamaged area, but this is to be expected. Wash the bumper down with the soapy water and sponge and then either wipe it dry or let it air dry.
Mask off the damaged area to avoid over painting. Use the matching paint and spray a light covering coat over the area. Leave that coat to dry and then apply a second coat. Leave that to dry and then apply a clear coat if required. Once you remove the masking tape you might find a very gentle lip of paint where the edges were. You can use a wax polish to blend that because it will still be marginally soft enough to blend away without scarring.
These are a nuisance to fix, but to reduce your bumper scratch repair cost you can do it yourself. When you get a scratch on a vinyl bumper the best thing you can really do is use a tiny amount of resin compound colored to as close to the bumper color as possible, and then try to match the pattern finish on the vinyl to disguise it. You can try heating the area gently with a heat gun and using a heavy sandpaper to disguise the scratch. Don't rub the sandpaper onto the bumper, just apply it to the area and press it in gently and pull it away again to emulate the mold.
These are probably the easiest bumpers to remove scratches from. It does depend largely on the depth of the scratch, but let's work on the idea that it was a gentle 'kiss' and not a deep gouge. You can initially try to wipe the scratch away if it is just a surface mark. Use cola and a rolled up ball of aluminum foil. Dip the foil in the cola and rub the area. It will bring the metal or chrome up to a brilliant shine and remove any oxidation at the same time. If the scratch comes off as you use this method, you have a quick and easy fix to your problem. If you need to buy a bumper scratch repair kit to assist you with a more difficult scratch, then find a recommended brand.

We stumbled upon a wonderful date night activity that served as a catalyst for oneness and fun together. What follows is our discovery…
During our Rainy Game Night-In Date Night, one of my depth-building questions was about the three best love songs each of us had ever heard. This one question led to several hours worth of reminiscing, story telling, laughing, and sweet time together. It's also a very simply date night to pull off. In fact, we have listed the necessities for this date night catalyst below:
- Coffee, Tea, or [insert] romantic date night beverage
- Laptop, iPad, or anything that will give you access to YouTube
- Each of you bring your personal top ten favorite love songs (so 20 total)
- Create a romantic environment where you live (Christmas lights always help) and stay away from a public place (especially if one of you is a crier)
Then, let the fun begin! Come ready to share and hear stories behind the song selection, laugh a lot, experience a little transparency, and possibly shed a few tears together. For the record, here was our personal Top Ten List of the most romantic songs ever! Feel free to disagree but we're standing by them.
10. When You Say Nothing at All by Alison Krauss
9. You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne
8. I'll Be by Edwin McCain
7. Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash
6. Iris by the Goo-Goo Dolls
5. Better Together by Jack Johnson
4. You & Me by Dave Matthews Band
3. The Way You Look Tonight by Eric Clapton
2. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

One hundred percent of the membership fees are used by the Program in rescuing, distributing and transporting the produce.
The employees who work directly in the food rescue program are paid by the Program's budget.
The networking groups are open to all who would like to participate.
The additional money should enable us to rescue more produce.
All the produce are USDA-inspected.
We have been rescuing an average of 30 million pounds per year over the last five years.
The distribution is made possible with the use of our three semi trucks. The rest of the produce is picked up by the receiving charities and the public that take the greater percentage of the total.
Given the short shelf life of the produce, we do our best to distribute these produce within the 24- to 48-hour time frame.
Last year we had over 23 million pounds of produce. The agencies in Arizona received 11%, direct clients have received 66%, Mexican agencies received 3%, out-of-state agencies received 7% and spoilage amounted to 13%.
We have five employees who do these expeditiously since the produce has a faster rate of spoilage.
It depends on the percentage of bad produce donated. If the load that is being re-packed is 70% good it would take approximately 4 hours 80% good 3 hours 90% good 2 hours. The type of produce also dictates the time. For example, tomatoes take longer than cucumbers, about twice as long.
We receive different varieties of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, melons, cantaloupes, beans, zucchini, eggplants corns and watermelons.
Only produce permitted by the FDA to be distributed through US grocery stores are made available.
With additional resources, we can rescue an additional ten million pounds of produce every year.
I receive a yearly salary from the Feed My People Children's Charity (FMPCC), the parent charity of The 3000 Club as its Chief Executive Officer.
I try to work as efficiently as possible in managing the different programs of the FMPCC.
We are currently putting all our energies into increasing the membership of The 3000 Club. However, since we launched this project in early May of 2008, we have been the recipient of the proceeds from several fund raising events held by The 3000 Club members.
The fact that we are preventing over 30 million pounds of good produce from ending up rotting in a landfill and get them to the hungry, hurting families who desperately need them, is what sustainable solutions in the Green Program is all about.
The produce comes from Mexico and transported to the different produce sheds in Nogales, Arizona. These facilities handle the distribution of the same to the different supermarkets and food warehouses throughout the United States and Canada.
Borderland Food Bank has eight employees.
Feel free to contact us at email@example.com
What you get out of giving to this cause...
Feeding America's Hungry Children helps rescue more than 2,402,700 pounds of Fresh Produce from being thrown away in Landfills every year.
Interested In Getting Involved?
Not only does Feeding America's Hungry Children help distribute much needed food, but through our efforts these food banks have a greater ability to provide a nutritionally balanced variety of food types to their clients on a consistent basis all year. Will you join us in helping feed the hungry and prevent food waste? Please donate today!
and see how Feeding America's Hungry Children is making a difference.
Our mission is to provide a transportation link between national food products donors (who have the food surplus) and the independently operated food banks across the country who distribute this life-saving food to children who need it most with the support of a national network of donors just like you.

This week started off with big plans and high hopes for tackling my patterns.
For those of you who may not sew….and therefore don't understand why my patterns are a bunch of papers: I prefer digital PDF patterns to the old school "brown tissue paper in a package" you purchase from the store.
- They are more sturdy– Not easily ripping/tearing.
- They can be re-printed as many times as you'd like
- Some pattern designers even have them made in layers–so only one size can be chosen to print at a time.
The downside to them: they are little more bulky than traditional patterns, so they don't "fold up" as small.
So, I end up with lots and LOTS of situations like this.
I've scoured the internet for all the ways other sewists organize their patterns, and honestly, up until this point I haven't found anything that make sense for me. Sure, there are multiple neat and tidy ideas, but they all seem too "put away" for my liking.
So….for now…..I've decided my organizational plan is going to be Manilla Folders labeled with the name of the pattern on the outside. And put into categories by Pattern Type
- Women's
- Men/Boys
- Girls Dresses
- Girls Tops
- Girls Bottoms
I don't have them all sorted yet but, it's a start.
Looks like I'll have a house full of helpers for the next few weeks….so perhaps the sewing studio will get more love from the kids too!

Canon Law Webinar: The Penal Process (Judicial and Extra-judicial)
March 18, 2020
2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EST
Rev. Valère Nkouaya Mbandji, SJ
A recording of this webinar is now available here.
Following the decree of closure of the preliminary investigation, the Ordinary must decide if a trial can be committed to inflict or declare a sentence in accordance with Canon 1718, §1, 1 °. If he decides to open the penal trial, he will have to choose between a judicial process and an extrajudicial decree (Canon 1718, §1, 3 °). Starting from a tangible example invented for the needs of the cause, this webinar will highlight the different steps to be followed in a criminal trial, both extrajudicial (Canon 1720) and judicial (Canon 1721).
Valère Nkouaya Mbandji is a Jesuit priest. He is assistant professor of Canon Law at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. His field of research focuses on the protection of minors and vulnerable persons in canon law. He is particularly interested in the interaction between canon penal law and the various "secular" criminal laws. He is the author of La prescription canonique des délits sexuels sur des personnes mineures (Paris: Éditions Artège Lethielleux, 2018).

"Effortless. Sexy. On the go." — Diane von Furstenberg's spot-on description of her resort collection. She called the collection "Kaleidoscope" because of its wide range of pieces that can be worn together or stand on their own, or, as she put it somewhat esoterically, "Every day is a turning point, a new perspective." On that note, she offered a chic new take on the wrap dress, rendered in two fabrics— a jersey top with a mikado silk bottom. The combination gave the classic a more voluminous skirt than the original design, and was available in several prints, including a soft snakeskin and a bold, graphic pattern loosely reminiscent of a magnified view through a kaleidoscope. It felt fresh, as did the numerous flirty dresses, many formfitting with flounced hems. A knit dress that mixed floral with stripe motifs and python-print pajamas added to the collection's charm.

I was unable to attend the AGM this year but thanks to the wonder of technology and the excellent work of Cilip staff I was able to follow the proceedings via a live video link.
As usual the Libraries Change Lives Award was inspirational and full of ideas for other services to emulate. Well done to all the shortlisted candidates and particularly well done to the winner, North Ayrshire Libraries, with their 'Appiness' digital programme for pre-schoolers and parents.
There were six worthy recipients of the Honorary Fellowship award this year including Ian Anstice of Public Library News fame. Never has an award been so richly deserved and Twitter was alight with people (including myself) offering congratulations. There are not enough superlatives for Ian's excellent work so I will stick with saying incredibly well done, without his hard work and dedication the library world would be a poorer and less informed place.
Unfortunately, the subscriptions were raised once again on a vote of 105 for, 33 Against & 5 Abstentions. My opposition to the rise is well known and at the meeting there was a lot of criticism of the £17-£42k band. Mike Hoskings, Cilip Treasurer has indicated that this will be looked at, and despite promises to the same for the past five years, perhaps this will be the year something actually changes. I remain ever hopeful.
Nick Poole highlighted the increased advocacy by Cilip this past year and announced the launch of the Strategic Plan 2016-2020, called Shape the Future:
'Shape the Future is an open, collaborative project to develop CILIP's Strategic Plan 2016-2020. We want to ensure that as many people as possible have a chance to contribute to this plan including members and non-members, external parties, staff and partners in all 4 nations of the UK and internationally.'
One of the most urgent areas to be addressed will be the continuing decline in membership. Apparently, there are now only 3000 members from public libraries left in Cilip. It's difficult to decide if there is one over-riding factor for the decline but I would hazard a guess that weak advocacy from Cilip over the past 5 years has played a major part. Equally, the loss of 37% professionally qualified staff in public libraries since 2009/10 won't have helped either.
That said, I do see some change in Cilip's approach and certainly since becoming CEO Nick Poole has been more overt in advocating for the profession as evidenced by the string of TV and radio interviews recently. Equally, the Board backed resolution 4 last night opposing the amateurisation of public libraries. Again, well done to Andy Richardson & Anna Brynolf for submitting the motion and presenting it so eloquently.
Most people were in favour of the motion. Some minor amendments were made with the replacement of the word 'manned' by 'staffed', and the resolution was easily passed.
Sue Williamson, Head of Library Services at St Helens, felt is was unfair to apportion blame to senior library managers as they often had little choice in making such changes. No one, certainly not Heads of Service want the amateurisation of the profession. I quite agree with Sue's comments and have often written how difficult it is for managers to resist such changes since decisions are made by councillors.
This is where the Society of Chief Librarians have a vital role to play. While individual HoS, as paid council officers, have no choice but to implement changes – and many do argue quite strongly behind the scenes – SCL, as the body representing senior library managers, could make an unequivocal statement opposing volunteer run libraries and the loss of paid staff.
However, this might not be realistic given that only a year ago the President of SCL as part of her inaugural speech stated that a priority was to "…explore how we might develop resources and a framework to support community-led libraries." It might be that Cilip and SCL's positions on this issue are starting to diverge significantly.
Another interesting factor will be reconciling the principle of the resolution with the fact that Jan Parry, President of Cilip, has been appointed to lead a task-force charged with working out how Liverpool's libraries will be funded from 2017 onwards. On the face of it the resolution would appear to preclude Jan recommending that Liverpool hand over further libraries to community groups or volunteers. We shall just have to wait and see what models are eventually suggested.
So, another AGM over with lots of changes afoot. I'm certainly looking forward to the Shape the Future consultation, greater advocacy and opposition to volunteer run libraries, but most of all, to finally sorting out the subscription bands.

Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Sew Baby. In the words of Sew Baby shop owner Ann:
"SewBaby specializes in patterns for quick and easy to sew accessories, toys, and clothing for babies and toddlers. Many SewBaby patterns can be made in just one afternoon. We also carry a wide variety of children's fabrics and hard to find notions such as colored snaps..
You can also keep up with Ann's personal blog Ann's Sewing Adventures.
Ann: 16 years. I started when my youngest daughter was just 9 months old. She just turned 17, so that is how I keep track of how long I've been in business.
SouleMama: What inspired you to start your business?
Ann: I had always been passionate about sewing, and I had three young children, but I wasn't finding patterns for items that I wanted to make for them. So, I came up with my own designs for a couple of easy to sew baby accessories. I had been working in the publishing business, and after researching printing options, I decided to print them professionally. SewNews magazine featured one of them, which generated enough sales to continue adding patterns. Now we have over 45 patterns in the SewBaby line, plus we represent other independent pattern companies on our website. Eventually, I realized that many of our customers couldn't find cute children's fabric or certain notions, such as snaps, in their areas. I researched the market and found sources for quality fabrics and hard to find notions that I could offer along with our patterns. I initially offered all of our products in a mail order catalog, but switched to a website about 10 years ago. We had a store for a brief time, but found that the effort and hours required to run a store were too stressful, and now do everything from our home. In addition to our website, we also wholesale our patterns to fabric stores around the world.
SouleMama: How do you balance work and family?
Ann: First of all, I couldn't do this without the support of my husband, Noel.. He has been my biggest supporter since the beginning when everyone else thought I was crazy to start a sewing related business. Ours is definitely a family business. We have 3 daughters and they are now ages 17, 19, and 21, so they are pretty independent. They have contributed over the years by modeling for new patterns, naming patterns, packing orders when we were swamped, photography and helping with the website. I think that it has been a good experience for them to see that you can do what you love and be your own boss. I also rely heavily on my assistant, Shirley, who takes care of keeping our shelves stocked with patterns, and getting orders carefully packed and shipped quickly. I am ever mindful of how important it is to keep a balance of work and play. When you love your work, and you work from home, it's very easy to let it completely take over your life. The first few years of my business, I was either always working or taking care of the family, but not making anytime for myself. Now, to make sure that doesn't happen, I make sure that I get out of the house and do other activities every day for at least a couple of hours. I try to keep fit, stay involved in various groups, and am always learning something new. Oh, and I LOVE to sew for myself! Thanks, Mom for teaching me:)
For today's giveaway, SewBaby is offering the following gift:
a package of 6 of the most popular SewBaby patterns!
(The Reversible Sundress, Petal Dress, Terrific Teepees, Sleeve Saver Bib, Comfy-Alls, and the Easy Pieces Jumper patterns)
In addition, SewBaby is offering SouleMama readers 15% off all orders until June 30th. Use the coupon code SOULE15 at checkout.
Thank you to SewBaby!
To enter, please leave a comment in today's post (one entry per person, please). Comments will close and winners will be announced on Sunday by 9am EST. Comments closed! The winner is...
Oh, how cute! I would love the patterns.

SEDNA's Bucket feature allows users to track multiple searches at once and alert users when a new message has arrived. In doing so, Buckets give users the ability to find important messages in a hurry, and declutter a crowded Inbox.
Note: Active Buckets will only appear in your Message List when they contain an unread message or comment.
- Take Inventory: At a glance, users can assess their inbox to get an immediate sense of where to focus their attention first.
- Take Action: With context, users can take action quickly and efficiently.
- Manage Scale: Users are able to take inventory and action without having to first navigate through large volumes of unrelated or irrelevant messages.
Each Bucket contains messages that share some similar value or characteristic relevant to you. Users can create their own Buckets to fit specific individual or team needs and tasks. In the future, some Buckets will be built into SEDNA, thus giving users a broad overview of the activity in their entire inbox at a glance.
Buckets appear in your List only when they're relevant. Buckets are prioritized around new activity, meaning something new that has happened that you have not seen yet. When all content in a Bucket has been read by a user, the Bucket disappears from the list view. In the near future, you will be able to choose to be notified when any content is added to a Bucket.
Buckets are smart, customizable, and scalable.
Commonly Used Buckets
Below are some examples of common Bookmarks that are useful across different SEDNA searches:
- For anyone: "All Teams" + "in:Following" to track every new message that you have been tagged.
- For anyone: "Comment:<myname>" to stay on top of when someone has asked you for something via a comment
- For Charterers: "<First Name> or <Last Name> or <Initials> or <My Email>" to know if someone has sent a message specifically for you
- For Operator: "Not Has:Job" to know all the messages that are missing a Job Reference tag.
- For Team Leader: "Not Has:Job and Not Has:Category and Not Has:Person" to find all the messages without any type of a tag, suggesting maybe nobody is handling them.

Readers of my blog have known for quite some time
now that I grew increasingly agitated with the charlatans pumping the gold
and silver price suppression memes over two years ago and have been quite
vocal about it on many occasions. I want to be clear about this point
before I continue. My beef isn't with people who buy gold and silver or
who feel that a portion of their portfolio should be devoted to gold or
silver ownership. My beef isn't with people that make well thought out
arguments for holding gold and silver either.
My beef is with the many that I have repeatedly
called for providing misleading and incorrect information to unsuspecting
investors looking for information on the relative merits of owning these
metals. Their influence on spreading incorrect, fear-ridden, greed-driven and
flat out WRONG information has spread so far that you would be hard pressed
to run a Google search on the topic of gold and silver ownership without
being met with page after page of conspiracy theories, most of which are just
cut and pasted from one site that usually starts the story while the others
fall in line and are more than happy to propagate whatever the story of the
day might be.
I have often called the usual suspects out on my
blog to, not surprisingly, be met with dozens of hate e-mails and
venomous comments. Funny thing though, not once when I question these
guys about their data or information does anyone bother to correct me.
Instead they simply regurgitate the meme and continue to propagate the myth.
The logic in this circle has always been if you repeat something enough,
people will accept it as truth but the fact it is copied, pasted and shared
among the gold and silver bug community doesn't make it true.
One of my targets has been alleged "whistleblower"
Andrew Maguire. Anyone who has been following the precious metals over
the last 3 years knows who he is by now. For that haven't heard about
him, he's the guy who was the alleged "whistleblower" that the folks over at
GATA (Gold Anti Trust Action Committee) trumpeted out as their ace in the
hole. He was supposed to blow the entire lid off the alleged scam
behind the precious metals price suppression.
An active contributor to the comments section of my
own blog, and a blogger himself, Bullion Baron from the blog space www.bullionbaron.com
wrote a piece about Andrew Maguire recently questioning the facts behind
Maguire's most recent allegations that Maguire made on King World News.
I won't get into it here but that piece worth reading discusses the
inconsistencies in Maguire's information that he often spews at King World
News in response to Eric King's leading questions. (Bullion
Baron's piece can be read here).
I've questioned
Maguire's "off" statements in the past before as well. In fact, I've
often called him a charlatan who is living off his ego after he was appointed
"whistleblower" despite
the fact that the US Department of Justice called his evidence unreliable when
they dismissed any price fixing claims against JP Morgan and HSBC.
The courts did not
name the whistleblower by name but made the following findings. It can be inferred that given that
Maguire has been the only alleged whistleblower to have actually come
forward, and given the court's summation of the material that this individual
was indeed Maguire. Why? Because the evidence summarized in
the ruling is what Maguire indicated had taken place. In other words, what
was presented at the hearing was pretty much what Maguire claimed had been
going on when he decided to come out as "the whistleblower". I mean let's be
real and use common sense. He's the only alleged whistleblower to have come
out with the allegations summarized in the
court's decision reads in part; (Emphasis is mine)
Allegations of Additional Uneconomic Trades
In addition to the
manipulative trades made on June 26, 2007 and on August 14-15, 2008,the
Complaint alleges that JPMorgan used its dominant COMEX short position to
bring about trades that were "inconsistent with trying to obtain the best
sales price execution, but consistent with trying to move prices down by
aggressively selling in a compressed period to receive less on the sales
transactions." (Id. ¶ 121; see also id. ¶¶ 5-6, 96-109.) In support of this
allegation, the Complaint discusses instances of unexpected "heavy selling"
which occurred between April 2009 and August 2010. (Id. ¶¶ 121-23.) These instances were allegedly brought
to the attention of the CFTC Commissioner by an unidentified "market
professional . . . registered with the National Futures Association," who was
"a long time participant in the COMEX silver futures markets." (Id. ¶ 122.)
An unnamed "whistleblower"5 also allegedly contacted the CFTC on February 3,
2010 to report that JPMorgan would be making an unidentified "signal . . .
indicating its intent to depress COMEX silver futures and options contracts
two days later." (Id. ¶ 125.) On February 5, 2010, this whistleblower
contacted the CFTC "to confirm that the silver manipulation was a great
success and [had] played out EXACTLY as predicted." (Id. ¶ 126.)
Footnote: 5 It is unclear from
the Complaint if the unnamed "market professional" registered with the
National Futures Association is the unnamed "whistleblower."
Moreover, the statements made
by the unidentified "market professional," (Compl. ¶¶ 121-23), by the unnamed
"whistleblower," (id. ¶¶ 125-26), and by the "bragging" JPMorgan traders,
(id. ¶ 176), are not sufficiently factual to show that JPMorgan was the
proximate cause of the price fluctuations during the Class Period. The
unidentified market professional, for example, is alleged to have brought a
series of trades to the attention of the CFTC, but the market professional
is not alleged to have named JPMorgan as a party to these trades.
(See id.¶ 122.) Indeed
every one of the market professional's statements are made in the passive
voice alleging that, "there was heavy selling of silver and gold;""[t]here
were large sellers who came into both the gold and silver markets to drive
the prices down;" and so on. (Id.)
comparison, the unnamed
whistleblower who contacted the CFTC in November 2009 does specifically name
JPMorgan, but only to assert conclusory and speculative allegations that
JPMorgan and its co-conspirators "manipulate[d] and suppress[ed] the price of
COMEX silver futures and options contracts." (Id. ¶ 123; see also id.
¶¶ 124-127.) The Complaint alleges no other information about this whistleblower
or about the details of the manipulation that the whistleblower is purported
to have observed. Indeed,
the whistleblower's statement is itself speculative as to JPMorgan's role in
the causation: "[h]ow would th[e price fluctuations] be possible if the
silver market was not in the control of [JPMorgan and its co-conspirators] .
. . . ?"(Id. ¶ 127 (alterations made in Complaint).)
For the reasons discussed supra, the statements by
the "bragging" JPMorgan traders are also insufficient to support the
allegation that JPMorgan caused artificial prices in the COMEX silver futures
market. (See Op. & Order Section V.A.3(b).) The Complaint alleges no
information about the date or the language of the remarks deemed to be
"bragging;" the identity of the traders who made these remarks; which of the
many trades that took place over the two and-a-half year Class Period were
the subject of the traders' bragging; and no information about whether the
traders were acting at the instigation of JPMorgan to move silver prices on
the market. Cf. Harris, 572 F.3d at 72 (stating that "legal conclusions,
and threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by
mere conclusory statements" are not entitled to presumption of truth).
You can see that
even the courts found the "whistleblower" and his evidence to be
unreliable. I am inferring that the whistleblower referred to is indeed
Maguire. In a nutshell, thie so-called whistleblower couldn't name the
traders, couldn't attach them to JPMorgan and couldn't verify their claims.
Read the paragraph's above .. I think the message about the validity of the
inside scoops can be ascertained.
Long before this
decision however, I
wrote a piece questioning exactly who this guy (Maguire) was and why it
was so difficult for him to come clean about his past. That blog piece
was picked up by other blogs and websites via link sharing but in combing
through the many comments to my own piece and on the websites that decided to
pick it up, NOT ONE individual was able to provide any answers to my
questions. I also wrote another piece titled Silver
Whistleblower Goes Tout. That piece also got a ton of comments but again,
nobody was able to steer me to a legitimate curriculum vitae that actually
proves who this guy is or whether his claims of being who he is are actually
Given the amount
of faith that the gold and silver perma-bulls have placed in Maguire's
commentary, we need to
keep pressing for his real background. If he is given a
platform to speak on behalf of the few who are privy to the the price-fixing
community then I think it's fair that he comes clean, especially since silver
is down over 50% from the highs and from when he emerged on the scene
claiming that forthcoming events would force the price of gold and silver to
explode. Many people bought based on these outrageous claims. Many
unfortunate people are left holding the bag.
A satirical post
about Andrew
Maguire being a Federal Reserve Plant sought to turn the table on
Maguire, showing through satire how easy it is to label someone a 'bankster
shill'. Quite easily one can make the argument, as that piece
did, that we can come to the same conclusion about Maguire that he
comes to about the bullion banks. However my concern runs deeper than
As I discussed in
my post about Maguire turning trading tout, I wrote that Andrew Maguire
turned shill when he decided to run a trading service touting his trades for
sale. You will also start to notice that this service is also being touted
now in many of Maguire's interviews at King World News, enticing signups of
course. (One of the arguments I've had about the perma-bulls is that the ALL
seem to have something to sell you). Don't believe me? Read the big promo add
about how much money he's made for his clients in his latest interview with
Eric King at King World News HERE.
Those are some returns and given the climate of the metals market of late, he
has had to be telling his client's to go short while at the same time
promoting the coming rise in metals prices to the readers of that site (just
like every other guest of Eric King by the way).
The fact that
Andrew Maguire's "trading service" is openly promoted now in all
his interviews and the fact that he has apparently ramped up his attack on
the bullion banks with incorrect information as highlighted by Bullion
Barron, deserves to be written about if for no other reason than to protect
the unsuspecting public who has already been duped buy this guy's false and
misleading information.
The reality is ..
How can someone be labeled a whistleblower if we don't actually know who he
worked for, when he worked there and what actual inside information he was
privy to? Let me put it to you this way. If I'm a day trader
working from my home and I happen to go out for a coffee at a bar where big
bank traders hang out and overhear them talking about how they took a penny
stock to $20.00 from $1.00 based on nothing and then shorted the stock at the
top into retail momentum I might get a chuckle. If I was caught into that
momentum trade and heard that these SOB's just conned me, I would be pissed.
But, would that make me a whistleblower if I started to speak about it?
No. It makes me a party to hearsay. There is a big difference.
Now, if Maguire
got caught up in buying all the rubbish out there from GATA and the other
dozen or so that propagate their memes then happen to take a beating on a
long silver trade after a market correction I might be tempted to blow the
whistle on what I heard in a bar when two bullion traders were celebrating a
big win on a short trade. Could this actually be what Maguire's story
really is? Is he just a pissed-off trader who took a huge loss only to
come to GATA with information that consisted of second hand information that
he overheard in a bar? A true whistle-blower is someone who took
part in the conspiracy and then decided to come clean. That's the difference
and that is something that Andrew Maguire did not do.
Here's a guy who
is heralded as being an independent bullion trader of over 30 years having
worked for the infamous Goldman Sachs! Here's his limited bio from his
trading service website.
Meet the expert
Andrew Maguire –
Precious Metals
Andrew is an accomplished
veteran of the markets. He has 30 years trading experience, both as an
institutional and independent trader, the last 19 years of which have been as
a metals specialist. Andrew is the driving force behind the MetalsTrades
services for Coghlan Capital.
YET...... Nobody
can verify this guy's actual background AND, more importantly based on my own
investigations, probably
doesn't even hold a licence to provide financial advice. He
is certainly no licenced broker as evidenced by the myriad of disclaimers
attached to his trading service. I mean, anyone who actually reads the disclaimer can draw this
inference on their own.
apologize for printing the entire disclaimer but I do so to emphasize my
Risk Disclaimer: (all emphasis is mine)

also large potential risk. Be aware and accept this risk before trading.
Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. All forecasting is based on

and no one can guarantee profits or freedom from loss.
Before you make
any investment or trading decisions, you should carefully inform yourself
about the opportunities and risk. Apart from the financial aspects, this
might also include the fiscal and legal ones. Please particularly note that
the past performance of a trading system or trading strategy is not
indicative of future results. See also CFTC RULE 4.41

is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this web
site. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not
necessarily indicative of future results.
YET, this guy is touted as a professional trader of over 30 years
and promotes a "trading service" where he provides what appear to
be, by virtue of the disclaimer "hypothetical trades" with "hypothetical"
results. You
can see how I come to the reasonable conclusion that he doesn't even have a
licence that allows him to legally provide that financial advice ... yet HE CHARGES A FEE for pretend trades and treats
it like a video game to skirt the law. It really makes my blood boil.
Again, I apologize
for continuing to beat a dead horse here but this stuff is just so blatant
and wreaks of lies and deception that I must speak out to protect the little
guy who has taken a huge beating in the gold and silver market because they
bought into the deceptive practices touted by Maguire and those like
him. It disturbs me to no end that this guy gets away with this stuff
yet nobody other than Jeff Christianson (who actually worked for Goldman
Sachs and whose video appears in my post linked above) has had the balls to
call him out on it.
This isn't about
where the price of silver or gold for that matter is headed. It has nothing
to do with fundamentals or technical analysis. This is about trying to get answers for
the people that have held their physical metal during a vicious correction
because of the information that Maguire and guys like him tout.
It's for the guy who bought silver at $45.00 – $50.00 an ounce or gold at
over $1900 an ounce and is sitting on massive losses because they believed
what was told to them by the likes of Andrew Maguire and perpetuated by those
that propagate his conspiracy theories.
I issue this challenge to Andrew Maguire.. .POST PROOF OF YOUR BACKGROUND,
a Curriculum Vitae
with contactable references. Verify your background is as claimed
and prove you are who GATA have made you out to be and I will promise
to never write another word about you again. In fact, I will even
provide you with a free banner advertisement spot on my blog for your
"trading service" for a
full year.
If Andrew Maguire
wants to keep his title of whistleblower despite the fact that his evidence has already been deemed
unreliable by the courts, then he should have no problem
accepting this challenge. All he has to do is PROVE that he really had
INSIDER direct knowledge of price fixing schemes and isn't just a jealous or
disgruntled day trader who overheard a couple of real bullion bank traders
boast about a massive winning trade in the local pub, one that he was
probably on the other side of.
My challenge can't
be clearer. Tell the
world exactly how you are an insider that blew the whistle off the
so-called price-suppression schemes and keep in mind that the courts already
dismissed your evidence because you didn't name traders, couldn't tie them to
the bullion bank you alleged they were from and you couldn't even recall WHEN
you heard them bragging.
Tell the people
what your real connection is to the bullion banks you claim to know so much
about. Otherwise, please stop please stop misleading investors and
individuals by continuing to allow yourself to be labelled a whistleblower
because based on what we know and what the courts have already ruled, nothing
can be further from the truth when it comes to that 'title'.

All News Releases By Date
Federal Superfund Begins Cleanup Of Heavy Metals and PCBs At The Pittsburgh Metals Site in Jersey City, New Jersey
Release Date: 11/12/1998
Contact Information:
(#98158) NEW YORK, N.Y. -- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cleanup crews this week are preparing to remove dirt contaminated with heavy metals and chemicals from the Pittsburgh Metal site on Aetna Street in a mostly industrial section of Jersey City. A former lead smelter operation is located at the site.
EPA's initial work began in April of this year when it restricted unauthorized access to the site to protect public health and to temporarily cover highly trafficked areas of contamination to limit movement of the material. During the past summer, EPA testing also found heavy metal contamination on adjoining properties, and the agency took additional measures to further restrict public access to these areas. The upcoming cleanup will include adjacent off-site areas believed to have been contaminated by activities in and around the site, and the movement of contamination that resulted. All the contaminated material will be shipped to licensed off-site facilities for disposal over the next several months.
"Using Superfund, we have the resources to eliminate the potential health threat posed by the site. We have planned the work to get it done safely, as quickly as possible, and to keep any disruptions in the neighborhood to a minimum," EPA Regional Administrator Jeanne M. Fox said. "We are closely coordinating all our cleanup activities with city and state agencies."
Lead is the primary contaminant in the soils at the site, but EPA found other heavy metals, as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at significant levels.
Since 1990, EPA's Superfund removal action program has been successfully used at eleven sites in Jersey City, not including the Pittsburgh Metals site, with more than $5 million spent on hazardous waste cleanups.
In March 1990, EPA completed the cleanup of a site on Duffield Avenue. EPA cleaned up two more sites in the same area, the Harvey site at 150 Duffield Avenue in January 1992, and the St. Paul Avenue Trailer site at Duffield Avenue and St. Paul Avenue in May 1995. EPA completed two similar actions along Rt.440 in December 1992 and February 1995.
Other Superfund removal cleanups in Jersey City included the City Chemical Corporation site at 100 Hoboken Avenue in July 1996, the Ideal Cooperage Inc. site at 3-5 New York Avenue in January 1992 and the Pacific Avenue Dump in September 1992. In June 1992, EPA completed the cleanup of the Turnpike Dump #5 site between Gilchrist and Aetna Street. The Union Cold Storage Terminal site at 13 and Provost Street was completed in September 1994. The Woodward Metal Processing site at 125 Woodward Street was the last big EPA Superfund removal action in Jersey City and cost $1.795 million. It was completed in June 1995.

Echoes of the Past
Echoes through mists of time and space,
Sometimes tough to see its face,
Complex intricate forms display
In the presence of today.
Life and death are intertwined,
Silk and thorns are all designed
To influence, guide, hold sway
For hence we have evolved this way.

No Meat
No Seafood
No Gluten
No Dairy
I've found myself being invited to a lot of potlucks this summer. In these days of food sensitivities, cooking for a crowd has become a bit more challenging than it used to be; no longer can I make a quick pasta salad with pieces of meat and cheese. I put a lot of thought into what I make so I'm sure everyone can have a helping; now, whether people eat it is another story, but at least I've attempted to offer a dish that can be eaten by all. The Eater of the House has noted through the years that while I make a healthy dish to share, that sometimes they aren't that appealing. Hence the bean salads I've brought home because no one wanted them. (Insert sad face.)
The above was the list for the latest dinner party I attended. I fretted for days over what to make; every time I thought of something, it had one of the ingredients not to include. Cucumbers and tomatoes are in season right now, so I thought of an easy caprese salad, but I couldn't use mozzarella. Then I thought of my cucumber salad, but I couldn't use the sour cream. But what if I combined the cucumbers and tomatoes with other ingredients? With some leftover beans I defrosted in the freezer, I was well on my way!
This a terrific base-line salad, in that you can take the original recipe and add what you'd like to it: leftover chicken, salmon, or shrimp; feta cheese; even pasta all would be good additions to this, making it an entrée. Also herbs! I wanted to add some fresh basil, but didn't have any, but I know that would add great flavor, or chives, mint, or dill. Try different veggies–crunchy red peppers, celery, kohlrabi would be delicious. The reason for the corn was I had one ear left in the vegetable bin, but I wish I had more. (And that ingredient is totally optional!) For the dressing, I used red wine vinegar, but another flavored vinegar or even lemon would be great. I measured it by the capful until I got the right acidity that I liked.
But best of all, the salad fit the bill and is relatively low in calories! And this time, I brought home an empty bowl! (Insert happy face!)
Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Chickpeas
Both tomatoes and cucumbers are water-filled vegetables, so I seed them as much as possible to avoid a soppy salad. To seed the tomatoes, I cut them into fourths and just remove a bit of the seeds before dicing.
1 can of chickpeas, or about 2 cups
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 cups cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped into large chunks
The kernels from one ear of corn (optional)
4 radishes, sliced thinly
A couple of tablespoons of scallions
Olive oil and red wine vinegar, to taste (a few teaspoons each)
Salt and pepper
Add all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and vinegar and toss gently.
MVK's Endorsement of the Week: Nutritional Weight and Wellness, Minnesota
A few years ago I discovered the podcast, "Weight and Wellness," produced by the nutritionists at Nutritional Weight and Wellness, http://www.weightandwellness.com/ which has locations surrounding the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Each week, they tackle a subject where nutrition can help you solve your physical ailments, from aching joints, menopause symptoms, anxiety and depression, and the list goes on. I always walk away with a list of tips and recipes.
Their website is a fountain of nutritional information and resources and they have four online classes you can take! http://www.weightandwellness.com/services/online-classes/. I have yet to take one, but I plan to in the near future!

Before you say RIP to Twinkies, Hostess says there's still hope.
Even though the bakery brand will still be sold in bankruptcy indefinitely, the cream-filled spongecakes may live on after several companies have expressed interest in buying the parts of the company. Twinkies reeled in $68 million for Hostess this past year, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
"We think there's a lot of value in the brands, and we'll certainly be trying to maximize value, both of the brands and the physical assets," said spokesman Lance Ignon Sunday. Though he said it's likely that some of Hostess' bakeries will never return to operation because of the industry's huge capacity, the high brand recognition and attractive $2.5 billion revenue per year may be enough to hold some of your favorite treats over.
WebProNews reports that some of the groups interested include Mexican bread giant El Grupo Bimbo and Con Agra, the company responsible for snacks such as Jiffy Pop popcorn and Crunch 'N Munch. Hostess is in bankruptcy courtroom today to start the liquidation process.

Scottish Daily Record Sunday, June 17, 2012
Craig Smith, 26, from Arbroath, left the Royal Navy on Friday with nothing to rebuild his shattered life because the Service Personnel & Veterans Agency have not dealt with his case.
The electrical engineer had planned to leave the Navy to begin a career as a professional musician.
But on his final tour of duty last summer, patrolling the waters off Somalia, Craig had his right hand crushed aboard his ship and now cannot fulfil his dream to be a musician.
He said: "I planned to go to university to study music management instead.
"But the SPVA have dragged their heels over deciding what compensation and disability allowance I should receive for so long now, I can't enrol at university this year.
"I've been told it could take at least nine months before they even look at my case."
Craig, who appeared on the hit Channel 5 series War Ship, was painting the metal cover on top of a weapons lift last June when it slipped and trapped his hand for an hour.
Nerve damage and torn tendons mean he can't play musical instruments any more.
Craig's MP Mike Weir said: "The delays by the SPVA in dealing with his case are simply unacceptable."

The proposed route of the Keystone XL pipeline would carry oil extracted from Alberta, Canada's tar sands through six states: Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Although many proponents of the pipeline make a big deal about the jobs it would create, the six states would only gain about 20 permanent pipeline operation jobs, according to a report by Cornell University's Global Labor Institute. Meanwhile, the agricultural and tourism sectors that are already major employers in those states would be affected greatly by a major spill.
The Keystone XL pipeline would go right through "America's breadbasket." Agricultural and rangeland make up 79 percent of the land that would be affected by the pipeline. The agricultural sector is a major source of employment in the six states. About 571,000 workers are directly employed in the agricultural sector in the six states. The total agricultural output for the six states is $76.3 billion.
The report mentions an oil spill which occurred last year when an ExxonMobil oil pipeline ruptured and spilled into the Yellowstone River in Montana. The oil spill contaminated 3,200 acres, most of it farmland and ranchland. Property owners in the affected area filed a lawsuit against the oil company.
The pipeline would cross recreational areas, including federal public lands, state parks and forests, and national historic trails. There are about 780,000 workers employed in the tourism sector in the six states, and tourism spending in those states totaled over $67 billion in 2009.
The pipeline would cross hundreds of bodies of water, including the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers and the Ogallala and Carrizo-Wilcox aquifers. The Ogallala Aquifer supplies 30 percent of the groundwater used for irrigation in the U.S. and supplies two million people with drinking water. Water contamination would have "significant and economic costs," according to the report, which cites a study by Dr. John Stansbury at the University of Nebraska which estimated that 91 significant Keystone XL spills can be expected over 50 years.
"This report turns the political discussions around job creation on its head," said Danielle Droitsch, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council. "The pipeline will be an economic liability."The alternative route of renewable energy
The report points out an alternative to the Keystone XL pipeline: renewable energy. For every $1 million invested in renewable energy, 16.7 jobs are created. Conversely, for very $1 million invested in fossil fuels, only 5.3 jobs are invested (Source: American Center for Progress). Investing $150 billion in fossil fuels would create about 788,000 jobs, but investing the same amount in renewables would create over 2.5 million jobs. The report gives a specific example: Coal provides 49 percent of the nation's electricity, and employs about 80,000 people in mining, but wind only generates one percent of the nation's electricity and employs about 85,000 people.
Last year, the U.S. passed China to become the world's top investor in renewable energy. The U.S. leads the world in wind power generation, and during the last four years, over a third of the country's new power capacity has come from wind. Solar power also grew by almost 50 percent a year since 2005, including a 70 percent growth rate in the first half of 2011. Continuing along that trajectory would create a significant amount of jobs.

I don't speak English very well, but I believe they do. I believe they live in Blue. Together with dolfins and whales and weves. They are weves, so we can surf. We can surf on the net or on the sea. Sea is better for skin, it has nature, sun, girls from flash and blood, fish, shadows, palms, turtles, boats, sand, watter, rain, moon, rainbow, clouds, deep, submarine, caffe, losion, island, and they are big. Net has all taht but in digital form of bits. Boats have captains, and net boats have net captains. Captain have pipe. Sea has pinguins, and polar bear. We have beer. Sea has surfers and native people. They are kind. We are kind too. Nature is kind too. Let me tell you once again.
