Why green politics is not received well
Comments (8)Relax everyone, this thread begins with a political screed having little relationship to the "environment". Change "environment" to immigration or public education and the rant is equally applicable. Mother Nature has pro-enviro lobbyists, but they all compete from the same limited pool of financial support and figure-heads. What Mother Nature doesn't have is widespread and deeply committed citizens working toward pro-enviro ends. When environmental conditions become so bad (if they ever do) that the powers-that-be cannot divert public attention away from the mess, they political action might bring about marginal improvements. Environmentalism/love-of-nature/outdoor-ism/etc. is in the heart of each of us who claim to have voices to be heard about environmental issues. Environmental ethics win the hearts; hard politics win the programs. OTOH heavy-handed govt action has proven ineffective, often counter-productive in promoting the elements of environmentalism at the bedrock of our visions for the country....See MoreCraigslist - but not furniture this time
Comments (37)If the original poster's ad didn't work for you, perhaps you'd rather apply for this job that I've copied from yousuckatcraigslist.com. In Need Of Personal Manager/Agent In Entertainment A personal manager. After being in touch mentoring and a other manager ect this year I have a complete vale of access. I just had a unforeseen tragedy that has set my self as a client in urgency. I�ve categorized my priority�s and have ideas even material ready to take on with others. And now plans that have been abruptly interrupted by tragic circumstances. In the past I�ve had a hard time communicating the importance and the impact that is involved with my career. But after consults and ideals of being a aisle celebrity; I still in need, am looking for a person to manage. I�m in need of possible law advice too but in mean time some quicker accounting. Right now what you see is what you get and in my eyes it�s everywhere (POTENTIAL) I�m proof reading my material which over the years has been not credited or even close to being paid for. Until now recently stepping forward in progression, (that) it has been in reverse or done backwards like. For example my involvement with Mandy Moore movies like Tangled and the Disney Channel. Or Neptune Spear The 8th Spear. Tributes charity ect. Or relative common industrial products that lay untouched or being founded on stay as is. I need personal involvement so if your in a lot of clientele perhaps you can locate someone more willing to be involved with or joint my persona. KINDA SOUNDS LIKE JERRY MAGUIRE LOL! And as said before that�s kind of one particular interest. But this past year and before that I�ve needed at least a contract of a manager, the old hand shake and call me is going to have to be forgotten trusting as well as planning for long term as immediate now. I look to have interviews and personal relationship accesses addressed. I just finished a album to overhear and establish. As a vocalist. As a overall musician undoing and focusing on simple basics like performance have to be yet accomplished. I�ve written a new book and need someone to address the personal issues with it. (SHES POPULAR) and still I�m waiting to step inside the story ideas I�ve came up with as a actor. Plus look to be accompanied by these things. I�m a out of the box idea thinker from my point of view I can be the best. In ideal placement I�ve regionally put myself at least to what is contracted. My past childhood and recent experiences have been pretty so say POPULAR. I�m still proof reading my 4 books that have been say STOLEN OF. Mentors previously this passing year know that. It�s a focus of hard placing of whats real or true. Deciding those and then venturing how they connect to the finale. That needs to be stated and established. I�m hoping to avoid legal issues and get a money contract deal type thing doing what I have and do best. I�m praying to make some real money at last maybe collect some debts and tributes owed to me and clear the air so to say about it all and get the celebrity exposure destined for me. Like before in the current array of distress I�m in for 7,8 figures and to now I have to build either over it or on going. I need a lot of management I have the talents and ethics and experiences over the last decade ready to make main stream. I just need to be focusing on that (The simple 1 to do & so on things I do) and avoid wasting my talents on legalities or connections especially living. I just need a manager agents ect to take on the things that take a way from my work. If your interested or want to get this going, please call me email me and we can hopefully God willing make some money do some great things and change things around for the better. In the short time get easy living expenses and plans for these long term things finished. I�m in it to win it. I work harder then anyone out there and have some things you�d die to know� Compensation: Adding Persona Of Client...See MoreQuotes 11 - 6 - 16
Comments (4)Love the quotes, thanks. Seems you had already an entertaining morning, Lilo. Did you notice the quake? I wished my cat would pay notice to the news, she absolutely disregarded the time change. Husband is back in town, but at a rehab 2 miles from the house. Got a 4 mile hike already in this morning. Well, there got to be a good side to the whole mess. ....See MoreNYTimes: The Technology Behind Good Coffee
Comments (7)If you re-read the article you'll see that the OXO won over the Bonavita because of ease of use. The Bonavita was called "counter-intuitive" which is no small ding since (1) most of us stumble around in the morning before that first cup, LOL, and (2) these are writers experienced with coffeemachines, and they STILL didn't find it easy to use. The Bonavita is available at sizable discount, as low as $110. Less discounting on OXO (which is a 9 cup, not a 10 cup) but still runs in the $210-$230 range. The Technivorm is called their "Gold Standard" but it's in a different price range. Fewer discounts, and the lowest price is $270 but most sell it at list. In Feb 2016 the NYT and Oliver Strand said: "....The entry-level models are the Bonavita BV1900TS ($189), which does everything right, and the Oxo Barista Brain ($199). Both are following the trail blazed by the Technivorm Moccamaster ($299.95), a Dutch machine introduced in 1968 that has been the gold standard. Last year, Chemex unveiled the Ottomatic ($350), a bold move for a company built on manual brewing. Basically, it is a machine designed around a traditional Chemex dripper. At the high end, you have Ratio’s Eight ($570) designed by a Portland, Ore., company that is to coffee what vintage Marantz was to stereos. It’s by nerds, for nerds. Under all that brushed nickel and polished wood is a serious machine. "...See Morecolleenoz
