With the European Union established as being in recession many number crunchers are now of the opinion that the situation is only going to degenerate in Europe. From small acorns mighty oaks grow. Unfortunately this great oak tree has consumer debt, government liability and property repossessions hanging abundantly from its boughs. It all coalesces resulting in an atmosphere of prudence. The banks are not happy to lend to each other let alone to the consumer and the man on the street has no inclination to go out and spend.

I worked from home today and went out for lunch with Julia and Paul/Dutchie. He was on the last leg of his big American summer vacation, and they came out to see me on the way to the airport. It was very nice, we went to Rock Bottom and everyone got mac and cheese and I think we all had a good time. On my way back home my boss called me, and I thought, “Oh no, she’s going to ask where I am or why I didn’t answer some important e-mail.” But no, she just had a really simple question to ask, and when I told her I was on my way home from somewhere she was like, “Oh, just call me back when you get home.” She hadn’t even noticed I was gone.

29 Jul, 2009Posted by: ReelDots.com In: Camcorders DCR-SR37ES Record up to 45 hours of quality Standard Definition video on the 60gb HDD – SilverHelpful consumer’s review I bought this for use with a Swimming club I help out at, along with the bundled case and a Sony tripod. It’s an excellent camcorder and I was amazed how small and light it was. It’s easy to use, even for the technically challenged coaches in our club, has an impressive display and a superb zoom.

If you are thinking of generating your own electricity, you should consider a photovoltaic (PV) system—a way to generate electricity by using energy from the sun. These systems have several advantages: they are cost-effective alternatives in areas where extending a utility power line is very expensive; they have no moving parts and require little maintenance; [...]

By MAUREEN DOWD NY Times Published: July 14, 2009 Washington You can’t judge a judge by her cover. Despite the best efforts of Republicans to root out any sign that Sonia Sotomayor has emotions that color her views on the law, the Bronx Bomber kept a robotic mask in place. A wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not know that a gaggle of white Republican men afraid of extinction are out to trip her up.

Google has announced the development of a BASIC variant called Simple , aimed at being an LFM , and intended for use in Android development. My initial reaction was “Why BASIC?” This feels surprisingly like a case of those who are ignorant of history, or at least in denial about it, being doomed to repeat it. Why use a crappy LFM reputed for its encouragement of bad habits, instead of one that is also clearly an LFSP ? (For more about the difference between LFMs and LFSPs, you could take a break from this to read Michael Vanier: LFM and LFSP .

Filed under: Other Reality Shows , Programming , OpEd This Sunday at 7 PM, you can tune in to Ty’s Great British Adventure on ABC .

Except that this episode, which is being aired as a one hour special, was a six episode series in Britain. In fact, the series has had three seasons already; this one is from a year ago.

Selling your home as a FSBO (for sale by owner) puts you at a huge disadvantage from the starting gate.  I’ve seen that many times over the past 30 years.  I don’t do any cold calling of FSBO’s.  I’m pretty darn busy just working with buyers, and I don’t have the time.  Keith Sorem, an [...]

In an effort to showcase the role broadband is playing in the national health care debate, NextGenWeb is in Boston today to participate in a pre-conference meant to tease the Center for Connected Health’s annual symposium held each October. While there are many examples throughout the country of facilities utilizing technology to improve care and lower costs, like the Via Christi eICU in Wichita or the Resurrection eICU in Chicago, the Center for Connected Health truly is blazing a trail when it comes to connecting patients to high-quality care utilizing high-speed Internet.

by Tim Povtak Filed under: Grizzlies , Knicks Point guard Jason Williams , who is trying to return to the NBA after a self-imposed, one-year retirement, will be in Memphis this weekend for a meeting and a workout with the Grizzlies. Williams, 33, is expected to formally clear waivers Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent and available to any team in the league. The Clippers, who had signed him to a contract a year ago before he retired, waived their exclusive right to him last week.

We often get calls from kind local entrepreneurs marketing new food products, and they’ll offer to send us samples. Our response is always this: 1) We can’t ask you to send us anything; 2) If you do, we can’t promise we’ll review it, and 3) If we do review it, it very well might be a negative review. This is what happened the other day when the folks from Batter Blaster called me, seeing if I’d like to sample their creation, which is to pancakes what Reddi Whip is to whipped cream.

California voters may soon get a chance to weigh in on whether marijuana should be legalized and taxed by the state. If enacted, this may help the state’s budget by providing revenue from a brand new source, while also freeing up money that previously went to enforcement efforts against marijuana growing. Of course, marijuana would still be illegal under federal law, but this may be a turning point in the legalization movement — the point where politicians desperate for tax revenues see dollar signs instead of prison bars when looking at the cannabis plant.

I believe in second chances. I believe that redemption is the soul of hope. I believe debts paid warrant fresh starts. Except when it comes to Michael Vick. He has served his time, endured his punishment, expressed his remorse and has a right to make a living. But the owners of every National Football League franchise have an equal right to say: he won’t earn that living here. An NFL team is as much a part of a city as its skyline. It is bound up in history, identity, and self-confidence.

When you are just one person sitting on a warming planet – when you see economies collapsing, wars raging, and reasons for fear on every corner – how should you react? What can you do? The current cluster of crises has stirred mood-responses that you can hear in every bar and coffee shop. It’s worth looking at them, because beyond their siren messages, there is a road to real change that is being neglected. The first mood is to feel powerless, and to turn this into a defiant pessimism.

DiTommaso-Lubin’s Illinois breach of contract litigation attorneys were pleased to see a split Illinois Third District Court of Appeal decision clarifying the circumstances under which a post-employment restrictive covenant is valid.

By Jill Jackson HOLLYWOOD … Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway team again in “Love and Other Drugs.” Of course, you remember they played a doomed husband and wife in “Brokeback Mountain.” … Neil Patrick Harris is starring in not one but TWO films, “The Best and the Brightest” and “Beastly” … And “Twilight” hunk Cam Gigandet stars in “Priest” … Thank goodness more movies are on the production slate and we can turn our attention to them after the tragic losses we have had to deal with in the past few months.

by Michael Skatoli Cleaner and more affordable motoring is the way to go. There are quite a few choices on the alternative fuels market now, but one of the most popular is to fuel your vehicle with natural gas and a CNG conversion kit. CNG means compressed natural gas. CNG cars are an increasingly popular alternative to conventional modes of transport. There are well over 7,000,000 cars globally at present that are run by natural gas using CNG conversion kits.

Who says soaps don’t give you an insight into local culture. Of course, there were soaps aimed at different demographics, but your afternoon or early evening ones aimed at the housewife/mother-in-law market always had the same plot: Bossy mother-in-law who is constantly worried about how much money her son is earning, and disappointed by the lack of commitment of her daughter-in-law to her son and her. Put upon daughter-in-law who is sincerely trying to sacrifice for her husband and child and frustrated by the fact that nothing is ever good enough for her mother-in-law and husband.

If trashing your push messaging wasn’t enough to steer you clear of using your iPhone in unauthorized ways, this next bit of news might have you back on the straight and narrow. According to Wired , Apple’s latest salvo in the fight over jailbreaking is a claim that pernicious, iPhone wielding techno-hackers at home or abroad could modify the baseband and use it to attack cellphone towers, “rendering the tower entirely inoperable to process calls or transmit data.” Of course, the idea that

Filed under: Apple Corporate , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch Earlier this week, Apple took a step towards making iPhone and iPod touch apps easier to find. Specifically, developers can now add comma-separated keywords to their apps, up to 255 characters. Hopefully this will make it easier to find apps, because it’s certainly not easy now. The categories are so vast and each one so densely packed (there are 65,000+ apps in the store as of this writing), that finding the one app that will do what I want is a chore.

Really interesting read today from FoxSports.com’s Jeff Goodman on former North guard Ray McCallum and another top Michigan prospect, Trey Zeigler. McCallum’s father, also named Ray, is a former Indiana assistant that is now the head coach at Detroit Mercy. Zeigler’s father, Ernie, is in charge at Central Michigan. Ray McCallum is now a senior and has become one of the best point guards in the country. When I saw him at the LeBron James Skills Academy earlier this month, he really stood out.

by Colin Jones It has been said that not enough people are doing all they can do to struggle against the energy crisis. Hybrid cars can help, but probably not enough people are driving them. Here are a few issues related to the energy crisis and how hybrid cars can help. The U.S. isn’t doing enough really. The United States uses more fossil fuels than any other country in the world. However, most people believe that all of our energy problems can be solved if we would only look further into the oil deposits in Alaska or if we exploited the latest oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico more.

College rankings , such as those published this week by Princeton Review, always generate media buzz and factor heavily into students’ decisions (”Do I really want to go to one of the top 20 party schools?”).  However, rankings are not everything, nor is cost (even in a recession), and in your college search , you may find that many colleges offer things that can’t be easily quantified.

Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers u8.5 (-110 betting odds) Wed Jul 29 ‘09 8:05p Visit Touthouse.com for more mlb baseball picks from Bob Harvey The Detroit Tigers are on the verge of getting swept by the Rangers. Tonight they’ll look to Justin Verlander to prevent that from happening. The Tigers have struggled offensively scoring just six runs in their last three games, all losses. That’s why the motowners will need another stellar effort from their ace Verlander is 11-5 on the year with a 3.12 ERA and a victory tonight would tie him with Boston’s Josh Beckett for the league lead in wins.

I wrote that title and had to laugh. Once you get old enough NOT to be a kid, you wish you could take off abut 5 or ten years. Gone are the days when someone took of you. I remember playing outside and our parents would call us home to get ready to bed. My father’s rule was…as soon as those street lights come on….it’s time to come home”. If we were playing a game such as kick the can, he would come outside and I would see him but he waited and watched the game. If my team was losing he just sat there and watched us.
