Barack Obama's Giving A Great Speech On Patriotism Now
2008-06-30 16:33:00 Senator Barack Obama's on CNN now this morning, giving a great and stemwinding speech on the meaning of Patriotism from Independence, Missouri, which includes this line: "Mark Twain said that Patriotism was being proud of your country all the time and your government, when it deserves it." My feelings, exactly. I think Republicans and fans of the current war and American aggression at home and abroad forget that. I don't have to support my government's decisions because it's part of America. I can question what my government does and still be a patriot. In fact, that's the real ideal of America. "True Patriotism," Obama said, "can not be forced or legislated."
What Passes for ?Journalism,? Giving Obama a Free Pass
2008-06-21 07:28:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Recently the Rockford (Ill.) Register Star subjected its readers to another fine example of sloppy journalism aimed at exalting the Obama candidacy. It is so bad, so pointless, so filled with empty platitudes and meaninglessness that one might suspect it was written by Barack Obama himself instead of a reputed journalist. But ...

Obama Giving the GOP a Golden Opportunity?
2008-06-19 01:15:00 Having given this election a lot of thought it occurs to me that Obama presents the GOP with golden opportunity. A chance to "rebrand" themselves. Additionally having read Obama's policies I can say that they are light on the specifics. Obama is essentially selling Americans a dream. If the GOP could pressure enough of its high profile members to tackle Obama respectfully on the issues rather than using the tactics that have worked in the past like fear mongering, exploiting racial polarization, attack ads, and whisper campaigns they might be able to beat him and in the process shed many of the negatives associated with the GOP, win back many independents, and become a party that is defined by what they are for rather than a part that is defined by what they are against.However given the that maxim "If it ain't broken don't fix it." is part of the core of conservative thought I don't see the GOP doing anything differently anytime soon. The fact1 that the Clinton campaign used ma...

What are the Differences between Chinese and Western Form-giving?
2008-06-11 05:32:00 "An introduction to formgiving in Chinese product design" is a research article, written by Vigleik Norheim from the Department of Product Design from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It gives some interesting insights on the cultural influences that impact the form-giving methodology in Chinese Industrial Design. ABSTRACT The article is a holistic and cultural introduction to formgiving in Chinese product design, both theoretical and practical. Observations were made during a 4-week stay in China in a university and two design offices. Introducing and comparing various Western approaches to form in product design with the Chinese approach proved to a certain degree unfair, as their tradition in the field is yet very young. The aim of this text is thus to explain why form in Chinese product design is where it is today in a cultural and social context. The article concludes that Chinese designers need more freedom and authority, much like the early Western desi...

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Giving birth to a new blog!
2008-06-06 17:20:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - It is ironic that I stopped blogging at Viewpoint because I could not maintain it. However, I just launched a new blog called LARAWANG PINOY for my Flickr group Larawang Pinoy. Let us just say, LP, as we fondly call it is fast growing and the chances that it would be viewed at least 670 per week would not be bad. However, it is not only the readership that was considered. First and foremost, the main objective of Larawang Pinoy Blog is to feature amateur photographers who are experts in their own right. Gracing the launch of the LP blog is a feature on Von Punzalan, who bagged the Aliwan Fiesta 2008 Photo Contest. He bested 1490 entries. He only had 7 lucky entries.

Rookie Arredondo giving Angels a helping hand in relief
2008-06-06 14:23:00 Nothing about Jose Arredondo, the 6-foot, 175-pound Angels reliever, seems physically imposing until you see his hands, which look like they belong to an NBA power forward. "He's like E.T.," Manager Mike Scioscia said, "only he has five fingers."And they do more than phone home."I've got big hands, monkey hands," Arredondo said with a chuckle. "That helps me throw the split-fingered fastball, which is a good pitch to have."The 24-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic has used that hard-sinking pitch, along with a slider and 94-mph fastball, to zoom into a prominent late-inning relief role since his May 13 recall from triple-A Salt Lake. After giving up a home run to his first batter, Nick Swisher of the White Sox on May 14, Arredondo has thrown 9 2/3 scoreless innings, giving up five hits, striking out eight and walking none in eight appearances. He has an earned-run average of 0.93.

Top Ten Tips - Giving Yourself A Pedicure
2008-06-02 06:00:00 It’s flip-flop and sandal season, so now is the time to show off your little piggies. But you don’t have to pay $20 for an expensive salon pedicure - you can do one at home quickly and cheaply: Remove Excess Nail Polish - Take nail polish remover and a cotton ball, and remove all traces of old nail polish. Soak Your Feet - Fill a basin or foot bath with hot, yet comfortable water, and liquid soap. Soak your feet for 10 minutes. Remove Dead Skin With A Pumice Stone - Remove your feet from the basin and rub off dead skin with a pumice stone. Do it over the basin, so you don’t get your dead skin everywhere. You may even want to rub your feet with a foot scrub to remove additional skin. Rub Your Feet With Lotion - Rub some foot lotion on your feet to make them nice and soft. Cut Your Toenails - Using a toenail cutter, cut your toenail straight across. If you curve the nail, you risk an ingrown nail and infection. If you need to file the edge, only file in one directio...

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Giving Back through Corporate Social Responsibility
2008-05-29 05:00:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - For two years and running in the company I currently work for, we are required to allot four hours of company time (half of a workday) and four hours of our personal time (either we sacrifice part of a weekend or file a half-day vacation leave during a workweek) to extend help to the underprivileged. Last year, 99% of our total company headcount (of about 800) went in groups to various Gawad Kalinga communities around the country to teach children in their makeshift schools. This year, for want to explore other areas where our help may be equally needed, it’s going to be either CRIBS Philippines or Kythe Foundation. It is one thing to be willing to help and another to have the heart to want to deliver the “service” well. I have long realized that I’m not cut as a teacher because I have very little patience around kids in that I easily get annoyed when they randomly move about, cry for no apparent reason, and, most especiall...

Giving oak the respect it deserves
2008-05-26 03:33:00 Did you know that there are about 400 species of oak, of which only about 20 are used in making oak barrels? Of the trees that are used, only 5% is suitable for making high grade wine barrels. And the average age of a French oak tree harvested for use in wine barrels is 170 years! Oak barrels, which may be charred before use (as shown in the picture), contribute to the color, taste and aroma, of the contents.
How To Select Your Gift Giving Credit Cards Posted By : Ian Tempest
2008-05-26 03:30:00 Gift giving credit cards can truly take away the hassle of looking for a gift. A gift card would especially be appropriate if you are not very familiar with your recipient. It is also a good option if your recipient has nearly everything imaginable and you can't think of anything else to give. Many graduates think that the six months they have before the required scheduled repayment of their various college debts seems like forever. The six months is nothing compared to the years and years of payments ahead of you. A consolidation of student loans can make the monthly much less painful. Read more about finance and student loans.
China Earthquake Relief, Charitable Giving, Big Governments, And The Formin
2008-05-25 17:16:00 A few months ago, while in Seoul, Korea, I had an excellent discussion with a Korean-American friend of mine. This friend was born and grew up in the United States, but has been living in Korea for the last ten years or so. The day we met, he had seen a guy slapping around his girlfriend in broad daylight and nobody was doing anything other than watching and dialing (probably the police) on their cell phones. My friend walked over, told the boyfriend to stop it, and was soon joined by others doing the same. Kitty Genovese. My friend then launched into a discourse regarding Big Government and the difference between Koreans and Americans. Koreans, he said, count on government for so much more than Americans. So much so, he said, that certain things "we Americans" take for granted, Koreans do not. My friend was convinced that the reason nobody stepped in to help the poor woman getting slapped around was because it never really occurred to the bystanders to do anything other t...

Giving Realtors a Bad Name... We're Not Created Equal
2008-05-17 23:09:00 Tampa, FL - There are many good Realtors all over the country - people who take their real estate jobs seriously and who dedicate themselves to their clients and their business. It's their livelihood and they treat it accordingly. These folks return phone calls promptly, offer accurate directions to their listed properties, have adequate (at least) pictures of their listings, and do the real work required to be successful, whether they are working with a seller or a buyer. There also are many bad Realtors out there. These folks seem to make money in spite of themselves. They make a living off the good natured, yet naive friends/clients who don't realize that their trusted agent is not very good at their job (I was being kind). There are those who have many listings, but do the absolute minimum - only posting it in the MLS and an occaisional open house - to sell a property. Others fail to return phone calls promptly (some of these might also be...

The Business of Giving Stuff Away For Free
2008-05-15 22:04:00 Dunkin’ Donuts is giving away a free 16 oz. cup of iced coffee today (March 15, 2008). Anyone who walks into a DD store is entitled to one with any preferred fixins or flavors. Pair that with the free chicken sandwich you can get at McDonald’s today, and you’ve got yourself a meal right there. But wait, one more to add to the list of freebies on this otherwise completely arbitrary day - Redbox is giving away a free DVD rental if you sign up on their website. But how can these businesses do this?
