Hard Choices And Soft-Headed Punditry
2008-08-12 18:56:00 While many lefty bloggers out there have quite rightly focused on the idiocy of Cokie Roberts lambasting Barack Obama for taking a vacation in ?that foreign, exotic location? of our 50th state, Hawaii by name, I would like to return to some of her lightweight analysis (along with husband Steve) that appeared in the Bucks County Courier Times on the matter of ?hard versus soft power? under Bushco?As (Defense Secretary Robert) Gates told the Global Leadership Campaign, it was not just ?America's military forces and intelligence capabilities? that ?held the Soviets at bay for more than four decades.? There was also the Agency for International Development working to pull people out of poverty, diplomats defusing dicey situations, and the presence of the U.S. Information Agency providing a place to learn about ?our history and culture and values.?But, Gates told NPR, that all changed after the Soviet Union fell apart. ?When the Cold War was at its height, the U.S. Agency for Internatio...

Monday Morning Music Choices
2008-07-21 16:33:00 By Cameron ClarkI like waking up early in the morning. It's the most peaceful time of the day. I have really fallen in love with my sunrise ritual at our new house. The sun comes up over the woods in our backyard, spreading an orange-ish sun-kissed light over our deck. Around 5:45 I go out to meet the sun rise with Abby, my Bible, the morning newspaper, and a cup of coffee. The coolness of the early morning is something to be savored, especially in the hotness of late summer. I am at my leisure to read through some scriptures, reflect, pray, and just be. How blessed we are to have a place like this. To be in a town with friends and family. To have the opportunities coaching, doctoring, and finally growing our roots as a family. The latter is truly sweet as we have been wondering in the northern wilderness these last two years. The kind of peace and excitement I feel upon waking up is a truly spiritual experience. On this Monday morning, I thought I'd check out the music already on...

Strong euro influences holiday choices
2008-05-29 02:00:00 The value of the pound against the euro is directly affecting people's travel habits, it has been revealed. According to Directholidaybookings.co.uk, the strength of the single currency has put people off travelling to traditional European destinations. This has led to many people seeking alternative options beyond the continent, such as Egypt and Morocco. The two African nations were said to offer far more favourable exchange rates with the UK, which means holidaymakers could find they offer better value for money. Andrew Gibson, director of DirectHolidaybookings.co.uk, commented: "British tourists are finding that their money will go much further if they consider alternative locations." He added that the cost of visiting established hotspots such as Spain and France has risen "significantly" in the last few months. This comes after the Association of British Travel Agents revealed that emerging economies and mid to long-haul destinations are becoming mor...

McCain's last three veep choices-Jindal, Romney, and Crist
2008-05-22 15:22:00 I guess it's smart to send up this trial balloon. Let's see how the Corner and other conservatives react. Let's look at polls and see how this shakes out. I'm surprised by Pawlenty's absence. Of the three, I like Jindal because he's the freshest, both in age and ideas, although Jindal may highlight the age issue instead of diffuse it. Oddly, his Asian-ness may help McCain win back some of the college crowd for McCain. Romney just doesn't have electoral pull. The only reason conservatives liked him was that he was the conservative alternative to McCain. McCain's already up big in Florida and shouldn't need Crist. Story. John McCain is hosting several officials considered to be potential running mates at his Arizona retreat over the Memorial Day weekend — but his campaign insists the gathering is just a social affair. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee plans to host two-dozen guests, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and form...

Would you like to have your opinion acknowledged but you are skeptical about how much your voice actually counts to TPTB? Well, you may find this interesting: Sonya Eddy (Epiphany on GH) was recently interviewed and stressed how important writing fan mail is. She explained that writing an one fan letter can have the weight of a couple thousand fans in the eyes of the people in charge. That is EXTREMELY powerful...the idea that your voice is counted so much even if you are the only one. Sonya also said that she has seen storylines change because of such mail. Wow. Imagine for a second if each Spinelli fan took out a good old piece of paper and pen, sat down, and expressed what the character meant to them. In a letter, you could say what you love, what you wish to see more of, who you hope Spinelli was with romantically, what left an impression on you....anything ...

3G iPhone to come in three color choices?
2008-05-14 16:59:00 In a report published earlier suggests that the 3G iPhone could come in more than one color. These colors include white, black, and silver. The report also claims that Apple partner Swisscom has already set their usage prices for 3G and and SMS usage for the new device. The report clearly states it is speculation, so it should be taken as such. According to the report one of the first carriers to get the new iPhone will be Swisscom, which would explain the early preparation. The rumor continues to speculate that there will be a 32GB version of the iPhone, whats more they even have some rumored price points. The 16GB 3G iPhone will sell for $627, and the 32GB 3G iPhone for $760. Again, this is not confirmed. According to the report, the 16GB model will only be available in silver. The 32GB color will come in white, black, and silver. This is perhaps an incentive for subscriber to purchase the more expensive model. The new iPhone will be on sale in 118 Swisscom shops, and in Apple s...

They designed it so that you can actually use your cell phone (as well as your wireless web, blackberry, or iphone) to receive suggested ‘Wellternatives’ along with calorie and nutrition information for free while you are standing in line. You’ve probably heard about how the restaurant chains all over the country are battling with government officials to keep from having to post their nutri...
Medicaid option allows more flexible care choices for seniors
2008-05-08 22:08:00 As the need for senior home care services increases further than the supply, a number of states are looking to creative ways to arrange for elder care. One of these, Cash and Counseling, is expanding 18 states in 2008 according to this article. The program pays a stipend equal to the amount that would be paid for traditional home care services and allows the client, with the help of licensed counselors, the ability to select and arrange the mix services that are needed. The move is an effort to provide a more personally friendly and cost effective care option than a nursing home.

Eat Less For A Girl, More For A Boy? NHS Choices Response
2008-04-27 09:36:00 "Eat breakfast if you want your baby to be a boy", the headline in the Daily Mail read. Women are "more likely to have boys if they eat plenty and, crucially, have breakfast every day. And if it is cereal, the odds are even more in a boy's favour", the newspaper explains. This new scientific study investigating whether calorie intake around the time of conception can influence the sex of your baby has received widespread press coverage. The Mail reports that "this is the first scientifically proven way of influencing the gender of a baby without the need for expensive medical treatment" while The Independent says that "the trend to skip breakfast could be altering the male/female balance in the population". The findings will undoubtedly spark keen interest among the population at large. However, although this study has been carefully designed and conducted to see whether it is possible to form a theory on how natural conditions may influence the sex of a baby, it has many limitatio...

I'm hoping that nobody else is that far behind, though, because this World could surely use a little attention, and not just on Earth Day.Here are a few things I've come across this year that I think are right on when it comes to being Earth-Friendly.360 Vodka - Alcohol!?

I like the flavor that alcohol imparts to certain foods and I'm not above a very weak mixed drink if the atmosphere is right.360 Eco Luxury Vodka is totally earth-friendly.
