The "American". The last endangered species.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1574...
“The American” is officially on the list of endangered species today, and unless we do something to save this vital species quickly, freedom will exist nowhere on earth. Doubt this statement for even a second, at your own peril!After 232 years of unparalleled freedom, liberty and prosperity, the United States of America is on the brink of collapse. Yes, in part due to evil political forces who long ago sold their souls for an ounce of wealth and power, pushing the nation into a corner to further their quest for even more power—but to a larger degree, due to the decline of the American spirit from sea to shining sea."

I wonder, is this due to the "Hopey-Changey-Opaquely-Transparency-Thingey" that The One had planned?

You promise if I vote yes on this I get one night with Harry Reid, right ?

I am just wondering why I dont see a whole slew of people Calling for Bertha lewis To resign. With all that has happened on her watch where are the Liberals who allways say they are looking out for the little guy… They are sure not looking out for 13 year old girls being forced into Protitution…. Maybe Bertha Lewis is completely Inocent of what other people in her oganization are doing, But reguardless as the CEO, she is accountable for anything that happens on her watch.

Acorn has admitted that it needs to clean house, Right??? I say they need to start at the top and work their way down…. I am a Chemical Operations Specialist in the US Army, And take it from me. When you want to decontaminate(clean) something you allways start at the top…… If you dont then the corruption just runs back down to the place you allready cleaned…….

Have you seen her whole speech about why she voted? 11 minutes of nonsense: http://bit.ly/1aqMDb

But, hey.. When History Calls.. History Calls.

Sell out. When is she going to put a "D" after her name? It is only a matter of time.

Interestingly, big media has now transformed this topic into a happy, go-lucky romp through bi-partisan land. Can anybody tell me where to find the reset button, this program is encountering fatal execution errors…

She can't feel this important if she votes against it.

She is the poster child for every slimy opportunist that cozies up to whomever appears to have the upper hand at the time. Rotten through and through; you can see it on her face.

I think Maine has recieved a Snowe job.

Hey Chemical Operations Specialist! You get free health care on my tax dollar? Room and board, clothing and food too? The US military is the most socialist microcosm of our society and it floors me when US Federal GOVERNMENT employees start talking trash about BIG GOVERNMENT.

Excellent Cowboy!

"And let me be clear about this" does not that count for we the people seeing what is happening? Every time there is a speech about any topic that is all the clarity we get. Well "let's be clear about it" we are in trouble.

And the VA hospitals are proof of how government run health care will work.

Public healthcare would be substandard and expensive just like every other publicly funded service.

Think public schools, USPS vs UPS and FedEx, DMV, etc.

Mr. James, Your ignorance is showing. As if the men and women of the United States Military are some sort of welfare recipients? Shame on you! You obviously never served in the Armed Forces. You have no idea of the courage and sacrifice involved in military service. You sir, should count your blessings given to you by the sacrifice of generations of people who have served in the military, both during war and in peacetime. In fact, your silly post proves my point. Freedom of speech is guaranteed in the 1st amendment, but it's the blood,sweat and tears of the American Soldier/Marine/Airman/Sailor that protects that god given right.

You are absolutely, positively right! You can't take 1/6th of the economy, remake it in the Government's image, and not get disastrous unintended consequences. GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!

my last post was censored

Snowe is a victorious whore that should be kicked out of the Senate Republican caucus. We don't need anyone like this in the caucus.

Except that Maine has been trending left for years. A lot of Mainers are on the public sector dole.

Mr. James, The Constitution mandates Congress to pay for the army and navy in Article 1 section 8. And it gives them the power to tax to finance those expenses. Are you saying that the military should solicit donations from the citizens instead of allowing congress to pay with our taxes? The US government is mandated to "Provide for the common defense" in the preamble of the Constitution. How are they to pay for it if not through taxes? You are comparing apples and oranges. The federal government has stepped beyond the scope of their power in providing mandatory healthcare. The reasoning is found in the 10th amendment, it is a power that is reserved for the states or the individual.

I always enjoyed Ruth Buzzi on Laugh-In. Oh wait, she’s in the Supreme Court now.

That's because they are going to the VA for free. It's one of the benefits of service. You should know that Mr. James.

Mr. James, I'm arguing that the Fed has no right to interfere in health care. The fact that the fed has stepped beyond their enumerated powers in the past does not justify further intrusion. In fact, it is my belief that programs like federal welfare, medicaid and medicare should not be handled by the federal government and should be declared unconstitutional. Like I said before, any power not enumerated in the constitution to the federal government, should be handled by the states or the individual citizen. (in case you're wondering, I was commenting as Brendan, but now I've registered with the website and I'm now brenpd)

Socialism is when the govt. owns and controls the means of production… It's not socialism when the government provides services, like the postal service, or the military, or law enforcement. The govt. is not producing cars… oh wait. Hmmm. perhaps Mr. Obama and liberal democrats are closet socialists?

Mr. James, again, your analogy is comparing apples to oranges.

When healthcare becomes free, freedom will be dead.

My thinking on this is someone should drag this in front of the Supremes and quickly get it tossed out on its ear, just past the 2010 elections when the Congress is firmly in the control of conservatives…

Good.

(_*_)

"any power not enumerated in the constitution to the federal government" The socialism of our National Parks system and federal highways must be quite a bother . So you'll be tearing up your Soc. Security checks and medicare reimbursements once you've been paid back all that you have put into the system (that will likely take place 3 years after you retire)?

I wonder how many people would actually VOLUNTEER for military service if it wasn't for the socialism (centralized free health care, room and board, free meals, you know things not enumerated by the Constitution.) Probably not many.

One of the earlier James O'Keefe films, (before he hit it big off of ACORN), was taking the little racist speech Flat Sodaminor made about "wise latinas", and switched the words around so that "wise white male" took the primacy position. You should see the Hispanics scream "racist"!

See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrumI6adTvw

But that doesn't matter, you see…she's "properly politically aware and palatable"…

Here it is… If you don't have health insurance because you say you can't afford it then no matter what obama care does you probably will still not be able to afford it. If you are that broke, a tax credit doesn't do you any good because you don't pay any taxes. If your employer does not provide it, will you be willing to spend your hard earned $ to purchase it? You have not so far so why would you do it with obama care? Unless it would really knock down the cost. So now you are going to fine me if I don't have it…. good luck collecting . You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink….. Now, lets say I am an insurance company. I operate to earn a profit for the shareholders. Now all of a sudden I have to ensure everyone. Well, that's ok, but I still have to make a profit, and since I now will be paying more claims for all the sick people I have insured, I have to do something. So I will have to raise premiums and fees to help cover the cost, but no I can't raise the premiums and fees because Obamacare has set a limit on what we can charge. So…… MMMMmm…… you know we will just get out of the Health insurance Business. What's the use of working if you can't make a profit… So now all those companies that we provided insurance for are now without…. where do those people go… soon no insurer will want to cover anyone….and hence…. single payer is here… don't be fooled with the big plan obama wants.

Larry James wrote: "I wonder how many people would actually VOLUNTEER for military service if it wasn't for the socialism (centralized free health care, room and board, free meals, you know things not enumerated by the Constitution.) Probably not many."

some factual corrections to these statements:
~ Their healthcare is not "free." as you state. It is compensation from their employer, just as many of us receive health care insurance from our employers.
~Also, their meals are not "free." Once again, this is compensation for doing their job.

You didn't state this, but another benefit of serving in the military is the opportunity of a college education. These things are not socialism, but "fringe benefits," which many employers use to attract employees. It is inaccurate to compare employees of the United States government with welfare recipients. Doing a job and getting paid for it is not socialism nor is it welfare. I know people who have joined the military to receive health insurance or a college education, but that's what people do in a capitalist system. Many of these benefits were added because people realized that our soldiers were not being compensated fairly for their work and the risk involved in that work.

My iphone is jailbroken I downloaded applications using installous, but whenever I sync with iTunes I lose my new appications. I have other applications that were downloaded through installous and they do not get removed. Is there a setting to fix this?

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn’t have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

Thanks

Wiekszosc ludzi slyszac slowo „odchudzanie” wyobraza sobie mordercze diety, ktore doprowadzaja ludzi do obledu
lub ciezkie cwiczenia na silowni. Tymczasem okazuje sie, iz wcale nie gorsze efekty daje wkladanie odpowiedniej
bielizny. Na rynku furore robi tak zwana bielizna wyszczuplajaca, ktora stala sie jednym z najbardziej chcianych produktow
przez polskie kobiety pracujace, nie majace czasu na wielogodzinne treningi czy przygotowywanie specjalnych jadlospisow. Producenci widzac tak ogromne
zainteresowanie przyszykowali dla swoich klientek okazala liste rzeczy, ktore po nalozeniu sprawiaja, iz kobieta zyskuje bardziej
smukla i zgrabna sylwetke. I tak panie chcace ukryc zbedne kilogramy siegaja po wyszczuplajace gorsety, rajstopy,
pasy, bielizna korygujaca czy bielizne antycellulitowa. Wszystko to ku uciesze sprzedawcow, ktorzy zacieraja rece na mysl o dochodach
jakie plyna do ich kieszeni dzieki modzie na bycie szczuplym. Takie sa jednak ponadczasowe prawa biznesu – chcesz cos miec, musisz odpowiednio zaplacic!

По устойчивости окраски вырабатываемые ткани подразделяются на несколько видов. Так, шелковые, хлопчатобумажные и шерстяные ткани выпускаются обыкновенной (ОК), прочной (ПК) и особо прочной (ОПК) устойчивости окраски; льняные ткани – прочной (ПК) и особо прочной (ОПК) устойчивости окраски.
Устойчивость тканей к различным физико-химическим воздействиям проверяют при лабораторных испытаниях, проводимых согласно ГОСТ 10761-75, ГОСТ 9733.0-83 – ГОСТ 9733.27-83, и оценивают в баллах путем сравнения испытываемых проб с эталонами. В качестве эталонов служат шкалы синих и серых эталонных окрасок. Один образец каждой шкалы имеет первоначальную окраску, а другие образцы – окраски, отличающиеся в определенной степени от первоначальной, с оценкой в баллах. При этом чем устойчивее окраска, тем выше балл.
Шкала синих эталонных окрасок предназначена для определения степени изменения первоначальной окраски ткани от воздействия света, погоды и позволяет оценить устойчивость окраски 1-8 баллами (балл 8 – высшая степень устойчивости окраски). Первая шкала серых эталонных окрасок служит для определения степени изменения первоначальной окраски ткани от других физико-химических воздействий и дает возможность оценивать устойчивость окраски 1-5 баллами (балл 5 – высшая степень устойчивости окраски). По второй шкале серых эталонных окрасок оценивают степень окрашивания белого материала при тех же воздействиях 1-5 баллами.
Для тканей, имеющих особо прочную окраску, установлены более высокие нормативы (т. е. более высокие баллы), чем для тканей, имеющих прочную или обычную окраску. Так, шерстяные ткани, окрашенные в темные тона, должны иметь показатель устойчивости обычной окраски к свету 5 баллов, прочной- 6 баллов и особо прочной – 7 баллов.
Стандартные показатели устойчивости окраски гладкокрашеных, пестротканых или печатных (кроме шерстяных) тканей к различным видам физико-химических воздействий указываются в баллах и являются гарантийными. Устойчивость окраски хлопчатобумажных, льняных и шелковых тканей ниже нормы, указанной в стандарте, не допускается. Для шерстяных тканей II сорта допускается отклонение в группе обычной устойчивости окраски от нормы на 1 балл по одному или двум различным видам воздействий при условии, что показатели устойчивости окраски по этим видам воздействий составляют не менее 3 баллов.
Приемка и разбраковка тканей на швейных предприятиях. Ткани на швейные предприятия поступают партиями. Размер Партии и ассортимент тканей в партии устанавливаются на основании договоров, заключенных швейным предприятием с поставщиками (текстильными фабриками или объединениями, оптовыми базами или конторами).
Каждая поступившая на швейное предприятие партия тканей в первую очередь принимается по числу мест (кусков, кип, ящиков) согласно сопроводительным документам. При этом, если ткани упакованы в кипы или ящики, проверяется сохранность упаковки. При приемке партии в кусках проверяется также наличие маркировочных ярлыков на всех кусках. Как правило, на ярлыках указываются: наименование, товарный знак предприятия-изготовителя, название ткани, артикул, номер стандарта или технических условий, длина и ширина, сорт, цена и др. Кроме того, на ярлыках приводится процентное содержание волокон в ткани.
Затем ткань каждой партии принимается по качеству и количеству. Приемка тканей по количеству должна быть произведена в 10-дневный срок. Приемка тканей по качеству должна быть выполнена в сроки: 10 дней – при поступлении на швейное предприятие партии ткани для местных поставщиков и 20 дней – для иногородних. Для получателей, находящихся в районах Крайнего Севера, отдаленных и других районах досрочного завоза продукции, срок приемки продукции по количеству и качеству установлен 60 дней.
Приемка тканей на предприятии выполняется в соответствии с ГОСТ 20566-75. В стандартах общих технических условий правилами приемки предусмотрены определенные сроки испытаний тканей изготовителем. Например, согласно ГОСТ 9619- 77 (для тканей из вискозной пряжи) изготовитель должен проводить испытания: по устойчивости окраски к мылу и сухому трению тканей, окрашенных в полотне и печатных, – каждой партии; по усадке тканей после стирки – первой партии из каждых десяти партий; по остальным физико-механическим и химическим показателям тканей – не менее чем одной партии в квартал.
