<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Arial;color:#a40000;"><strong>E</strong></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">l  gran comandante del plan de rescate es <strong>Henry Paulson</strong>, el septuagésimo  cuarto secretario del Tesoro de los EEUU,  el padre de un paquete de medidas de  US$ 850.000 millones –el mayor llevado acabo en el país- que tras ser  implementado el viernes fue recibido este lunes con un <strong>derrumbe bursátil y  pánico financiero generalizado que se extendió por todo el planeta.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">El primer tramo del macro-negocio  privado con la  crisis financiera se inició el viernes pasado  con la  aprobación por parte de la Cámara de Representantes de EEUU del plan de choque  de Bush para salvar a las entidades quebradas con dinero público. Una operación   inicial de US$ 700.000 millones que el Tesoro USA (por medio de emisiones de deuda pública) entregará a los bancos privados  del Sistema de la Reserva Federal. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">(Ver: </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#a40000;"> <a href="http://www.iarnoticias.com/2008/secciones/contrainformacion/0108_rescate_fraude_privado_29sept08.html"> Súper-rescate estatal: Un negocio "privado" de los bancos que controlan la Reserva Federal</a></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">). </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Según la <em>CNN</em>, Paulson ya nombró a  Neel Kashkari, otro ex ejecutivo de Goldman Sachs, para supervisar el  plan de rescate aprobado el viernes pasado por el Congreso. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Kashkari</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> fue confirmado como nuevo asistente del  Tesoro, según la prensa financiera estadounidense.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">De acuerdo con <em>The Wall Street  Journal</em>, Paulson llevó a cabo el nombramiento de Kashkari como titular  interino de la nueva Oficina de Estabilidad Financiera del Tesoro para contar a <em>Goldman Sach</em> (a través de Paulson y de Kashkari) en el más alto nivel de  decisión.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Kashkari ocupaba el cargo  de secretario asistente del Tesoro para asuntos internacionales, y como titular  interino de la nueva Oficina de Estabilidad Financiera del Tesoro, supervisará y  tendrá un rol clave</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> en el <strong>fabuloso negocio financiero avalado por el Estado USA</strong> que tendrá como  misión esencial rescatar y/o comprar (mediante créditos e inyecciones de dinero)   los títulos "tóxicos" y las entidades quebradas de la "burbuja" especulativa  para sanear el sistema financiero privado imperial. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> El Tesoro, la Reserva Federal (Fed) que preside Ben Bernanke, </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">la Corporación Federal de Seguro de Depósitos, (FDIC)</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> y la nueva Agencia Federal de Financiación a la Vivienda (FHFA, por sus siglas  en inglés) dirigida por James Lockhart, serán los </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">organismos que intervendrán en la  operación <strong>que convertirá en deuda pública las perdidas del sistema financiero  privado.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Antes de su llegada al Tesoro de EEUU,  Kashkari, un ladero histórico de Paulson al servicio de Goldman Sach,   lideraba la oficina de seguridad tecnológica en la banca de inversión de Goldman en  San Francisco.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> A pesar de comandar el Tesoro, un virtual ministerio de Finanzas estadounidense,  Paulson es considerado un operador de Goldman Sach<em> </em>y del resto de bancos  privados que controlan el Sistema de la Reserva Fedaral comandada por Bernanke,  otro operador clave del lobby sionista que <strong>controla el negocio con el "plan  de crisis".</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> Curiosamente, el hombre que comanda el "plan  anticrisis" proviene del  riñón de Goldamn Sach,  uno de los causantes de las turbulencias financieras  donde se formó y que  <strong>dirigió desde 1998 hasta mayo de  2006.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">“Es increíble que este Senado pueda autorizar a una única persona, con muy poca  previsión, un autoproclamado experto de Wall Street, el poder para llevar a cabo<strong> el mayor desembolso de la historia de la república</strong>”, vociferó el jueves pasado  el senador republicano Jeff Sessions durante el debate sobre el plan de rescate  de los mercados financieros. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Además de ser operador del lobby  sionista en la esfera estatal del Imperio, Paulson, es a su vez, un especulador  acaudalado. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">A los más de US$ 30 millones de  dólares anuales que ganaba en Goldman Sach, se le sumaron otros US$ 500  millones  resultantes de la venta de las acciones que tenía de la entidad,  eximido de pagar impuestos sobre el capital gracias a su nuevo cargo en el  Gobierno federal de EEUU.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Paulson comenzó sus pasos en la  política  como asistente del secretario de Defensa en el Pentágono. Durante  la administración Richard Nixon,  se desempeñó como ayudante John Daniel Ehrlichman, uno de los hombres de  confianza del presidente y figura clave en el caso Watergate, por el que fue  <strong>condenado por conspiración, obstrucción a la justicia y perjurio.<br />
</strong><br />
Después de esa "experiencia", Paulson se incorporó a Goldman  Sachs en 1974 en la oficina de Chicago para convertirse en socio de la firma  apenas ocho años después. </span>
</p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Comenzó a dirigir el frente de la unidad del  medio oeste y se hizo con el puesto de socio director de la oficina de Chicago.  Finalmente <strong>dio el salto de director financiero del banco a Consejero Delegado  cuando sustituyó a Jon Corzine</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">En mayo de 2006, Henry Paulson recibió la llamada George W. Bush para suceder a  John Snow como Secretario del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos y en el mes de junio  recibió el apoyo unánime del Senado, pese a que en un primer momento el propio  partido Republicano atacó con crudeza su nominación por su vínculos anteriores  con el partido Demócrata.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> En realidad, dicen en Washington, <strong>Paulson no es él sino Goldman Sach</strong>, uno de los gigantes históricos del lobby bancario que controla la Reserva Federal, el Tesoro, y las redes financieras privadas que actúan y hacen negocio a la sombra del Estado norteamericano. ¿Qué mejor que Paulson para comandar el plan de rescate?, señalan irónicos analistas estadounidense tras su designación.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:8px;margin-right:8px;"><img src="http://iarnoticias.com/images/varios/5_bolsas_caidas_operador_trasp.jpg" alt="" hspace="6" width="250" height="375" align="left" /><strong><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;color:#000080;">Corrupción  política y lobby bancario</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> Tanto Goldman Sach como Morgan Stanley son considerados los <strong>dos grandes  beneficiarios del manejo del dinero propuesto para "salvar la crisis" </strong>que se  llevó a otros gigantes históricos como Merrill Linch y Lehtman Brothers.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Y no por casualidad, Goldman Sach  (junto con los otros bancos del lobby sionista) ,es uno de los más activos e  importantes <strong>contribuyente a la campaña presidencial de EEUU,</strong> tanto para  el candidato republicano, John MacCain, como para el demócrata, Barack Obama.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Según  un informe elaborado por la prestigiosa consultora <em>Weiss Research</em>, el principal contribuyente a la campaña de Obama es<strong> Goldman Sachs, que ha donado  casi US$ 700.000 millones</strong>, seguido por la Universidad de California, Citigroup y JP  Morgan Chase. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">McCain,  a su vez,  recibió aproximadamente US$ 200.000  de Merril  Lynch, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley y Goldman Sach. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">De acuerdo con el informe de <em>Weiss Research</em>, tanto Obama como McCain han obtenido enormes  cantidades de dinero de los gigantes bancarios. Además, Obama ha recibido contribuciones de empresas  de finanzas, seguros e inmobiliarias, el llamado sector FIRE, por unos US$25  millones,  mientras que  McCain ha recibido US$ 22 millones. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Los gigantes bancarios no contribuyen  directamente, sino que<strong> canalizan dinero mediante la creación de los llamados  comités de acción política o a través de aportaciones.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">En este escenario, el plan de  "crisis"  de Bush para rescatar a las entidades quebradas y dar curso a un  formidable negocio financiero de los bancos privados del Sistema de la Reserva  Federal fue<strong> posibilitado por la corrupción y  el lobby bancario sobre los políticos, incluidos los candidatos presidenciales</strong>. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Cuando los sondeos y los testimonios  en las grandes cadena <strong>muestran una mayoría contundente en contra,</strong> ninguno de los dos candidatos a las elecciones  presidenciales ni las cúpulas de los dos grandes partidos se han sumado a la  oposición al plan de "rescate" a la banca privado. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">La explicación a tanto "fervor" por  la banca privada en desmedro de los intereses de la población estadounidense, la  dio el  domingo el <em>Center of Responsive Politics,</em> un instituto de  Washington que hace seguimiento de las contribuciones financieras a las campañas  políticas y que analiza el<strong> dinero destinado a las dos fuerzas políticas que  controlan el esquema bipartidista USA  y  a sus líderes. </strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> De acuerdo con <em>Center of Responsive Politics,</em> los  legisladores que votaron a favor del plan de rescate en la Cámara Baja el lunes  <strong>reciben como promedio un 50% más en donativos de los bancos de Wall Street y otras  entidades financieras que quienes votaron en contra. </strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">De acuerdo con el centro, con unos  US$ 2.000  millones desde 1989, los bancos,  aseguradoras y empresas inmobiliarias han sido la principal fuente de  financiación para partidos y políticos individuales en<strong> un sistema político que  gira en torno al intercambio de financiación y medidas favorables a los  aportantes. </strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Mientras se debatía sobre los  contenidos de la ley del rescate financiero -según <em>Center of Responsive Politics-</em>,  "ejércitos de lobbistas de los sectores  bursátil, bancario, inmobiliario y otras financieras<strong> trataron de dejar su  huella en la legislación". </strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><strong> <span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;color:#000080;">Porqué fracasó el plan</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;" align="center"><img src="http://iarnoticias.com/images/varios/5_bolsas_caidas_mujer_1.jpg" border="1" alt="" width="450" height="218" align="center" /></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">El fracaso del plan, con el derrumbe  bursátil y el agravamiento de la crisis financiera, el lunes, tampoco tomó de  sorpresa a los analistas y la prensa norteamericana que lo habían calificado de  "insuficiente" para contener al desborde de los mercados.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">De acuerdo con el informe de <em>Weiss Research, </em>el Congreso USA maneja desde el pasado 25 de septiembre un informe  en el que se advierte que el plan de rescate de los US$700.000 millones <strong>es insuficiente para resolver la crisis y llega tarde. </strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Según la prestigiosa consultora, un  total de 1.479 bancos y 158 agencias de crédito y ahorro, están en riesgo de  quiebra en Estados Unidos y calcula que entre todos ellos manejan unos activos  de <strong>US$ 3,2 billones</strong>, equivalente a<strong> 41 veces la  cantidad estimada por la F<em>ederal </em>Deposit Insurance Corporation</strong> (Corporación  Federal de Garantía de los Depósitos).</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> En su informe, <em>Weiss Research </em>concluye  que el plan "anticrisis"  aprobado el viernes resultará un fracaso y agravará aún mas la situación, al provocar  un aumento de las tasas de interés  y una contracción del crédito, además de una subida del déficit público en EEUU. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">La <em>Office of Managment and Budget </em>(la Oficina del Presupuesto) calcula que en 2009 el déficit federal se  incrementará hasta los US$ 482.000 millones, y que<strong> subiría a un costo de US$ un  billón con las medidas "adicionales" de salvamento.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">En general</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">,  la prensa norteamericana coincide en que el costo billonario del super-rescate  (que pagará la población a través de los impuestos) <strong>potencia el proceso de  crisis estructural </strong>por el que atraviesan las economías centrales de EEUU y  la Unión Europea.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">La mayoría de los analistas proyectan  un</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> <strong>agravamiento de la presión fiscal</strong> (suba de impuestos) y un <strong>recorte de  planes y beneficios sociales</strong> como el emergente más inmediato del  mega-salvataje estatal a la banca imperial en quiebra que incian EEUU y la UE.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Lo que incidirá en una mayor suba de  precios y recorte del consumo (ya desatados), que se sumarán a los estragos de  la crisis crediticia para <strong>potenciar el proceso inflacionario-recesivo</strong> en  que se encuentran las economías de Europa y de EEUU.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> Finalmente, la recesión (números en rojo de la economía real de EEUU y Europa) , psico-registrada en los "mercados" financieros más allá de los análisis y de los números reales, el fracaso (el sábado) de la Unión Europea para elaborar un plan de rescate como el de EEUU, y los <strong>temores de un  derrumbe bancario en masa en la zona del euro</strong>, ya produjo lo que preveían los  analistas.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> Todos los "lunes negros" se juntaron este lunes en uno solo para <strong>detonar la  peor jornada histórica de Wall Street y de las bolsas de Europa, Asia y América  Latina,</strong> muchas de las cuales, como las de Argentina, San Pablo y Rusia, se vieron  obligadas a detener sus operaciones.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:11px;margin-right:8px;margin-top:15px;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Arial;color:#000080;"> ******</span></p>

<p>I really start worrying... my company stock dropped to a record low of 15 bucks. Where is this going to end? ...ah and yes, I can forget my RSUs (Restricted Stock Units). I planned to buy a new PC from that stocks (that I can cash in December). I will be able to buy a computer, but it will look more like a pocket calculator if stocks drop like this ;)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Idag har det varit en bra dag :D . Jag vaknade pig och allert och gick upp, glad som ja är och log åt den efterlängtade måndagen. Måndagar är bästa dagen på veckan... då samlas åter igen klassen och stämmningan är på högsta topp, och idag var det den perfekta måndagen. Idag hade lärarna kursmöte så vi slutade efter lunch så att vi bara fick dom roligaste lektionerna på dagen. Film och Bild, dock synd att vi inte hade prog. block... Efter lunch fråga ja <a href="http://deepezt.wordpress.com/">Jessie</a> om hon vill göra ngt idag, och hon svara ja, så vi drog hem till mig där vi såg på Wall-E. en skitbra film, som jag rekomenderar till alla! alla åldrar! :D , Sen tjötade vi jättemkt och sen så försökte hon hitta massa pinsamheter i mitt rum, de va ganska kul, men hon hittade inte så mycket pinsammt i alla fall som tur var. Sen tog vi en promenad för att få lite frisk luft, det var nämligen nästan som en gas inne i mitt rum som gjorde att man blev hög, och tillslut blev det för jobbigt så vi gick ut. sedan va vi ute och gick enda tills Jessies buss kom och då åkte hon hem, de va lite tråkigt dock, för då gick ja tillbaka till min vanliga hobby, nämligen att sitta vid datan ;D , inte lika kul dock som att vara med kompisar :P . Och nu sitter jag hr och funderar öve mitt underliga liv och vem de e jag tycks känna ingen sen långt tillbaks i tiden i våran skola... hmm, kan int komma på det, men de kan vara ngn som spelade fiol sammtidigt som ja när jag var liten... hmmm, får tänka mer på det. Ses senare, och kommentera gärna för skojs skull ;D</p>

<description><![CDATA[Monday morning, and we are off to work.  Back to the rat race, running just to stay perfectly still.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Monday morning, and we are off to work.  Back to the rat race, running just to stay perfectly still. And in the end, no matter how much we try, someone still makes their money while we are scraping together a wage in order to turn on the heating.  Especially as the credit crisis begins to bite, it looks like the City will become a place where dreams are broken.</p>
<p>Three years ago, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4420507.stm">4,000 workers</a> and their families in the Midlands faced an equally uncertain future.  Did their plight gain the same number of column inches?  Did government subsidies prop them up?  Did anyone worry that a significant part of Britain's manufacturing base was to be decimated forever?  And three years later, what has happened to those workers at Rover?  How many of them lost their homes, where they able to get new clothes for their children, are they still out of work?</p>
<p>It is hard to feel sorry for bankers, consultants, insurers, in fact anyone who works in the City of London.  When times are good, they 'avoid' taxes, buy up property to sub-divide and let out as rabbit hutches and treat ordinary people with a contempt.  Hey, how big is your 'bonus'?  When times are bad, they cry out about the detrimental effects to the economy and demand government subsidies to prop up their lifestyles.  They justify nannies as to look after their children as they do not have the time to spend at home.  They justify the third car as 'one needs a spare for France'.  They justify spitting on train workers as they were drunk on a Friday night.</p>
<p>Giving subsidies is wrong on so many levels.  Firstly, these were the people behind the rationalisations, the consultations, the economy drives in which other people lost their jobs, found their pay froze and generally made more profits for themselves to cream off from other people's misery.</p>
<p>Secondly, the, in simple capitalistic terms, bad businesses should fail.  If we support bad business practice, then it gives free rein for all of these institutions to make cash out of nothing, safe in the knowledge that the taxpayer would save them from bankruptcy.  </p>
<p>Thirdly, the sums that we are dropping into the system means that we are mortgaging not just our taxes, but also our children's.  Ultimately we are building up a ticking time bomb of problems.</p>
<p>On a personal level, these people deserve nothing but a kick in the teeth.  Financially, I am not bothered if the system collapses.  My job is about as safe as it gets in this day and age (means nothing), I have no debts and no savings/investments/pension/property/career.  Essentially I am out of the system and so do not care about it.  As a principle however, these institutions should not be subsidised.  Bad business should fail, debts need to be paid back and this country has over borrowed.  We need prices to come down and the only way this will happen will be through mass bankruptcies and an end to the ludicrous buy-to-let mania so that the public at large can actually afford to live in this country.  Also, how much are we prepared to subsidise these bad loans.  Are we ultimately willing to take on GBP1.4 Trillion of debt that this country owes?  Because that is the ultimate price that we would have to pay.</p>
<p>Oh well, the great con trick continues...</p>

<p align="left"><strong>Shop Name: johnwgolden</strong></p>
<p>Blog/Website: <a href="http://johnwgolden.etsy.com/" target="_blank">http://johnwgolden.etsy.com</a></p>
<p>Location: North Carolina</p>
<p><strong>A little bit about John:<br />
</strong>Been selling my art since I was 11-years old (30 years). Work mostly digitally.</p>
<p><strong>What do you sell that would appeal to the guys?<br />
</strong>I sell illustrations of robots, rayguns, radios, and record players as well as other things that don't start with "R". I find myself often describing my stuff to guys as art your wife, girlfriend, or partner will let you hang at home.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="left"><img class="grey_border aligncenter" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.34544768.jpg" alt="Lunastrella Record Player 8x12" width="430" height="286" /></p>
<p align="left">
<strong>Where do you sell your stuff?<br />
</strong>I sell my prints, rings and pendants on Etsy, as well as my <a href="http://www.johnwgolden.com/" target="_blank">own site</a>, in my brick and mortar gallery, and I have some work in Art.com's mail order catalog and their site, and in John Lewis stores in the UK. This fall I should have work in two major home decor catalogs.</p>
<p><strong>How long have you been in business?<br />
</strong>30 years</p>
<p><strong>How did you get started?<br />
</strong>My mother was an artist, and helped me make some linoleum block prints when I was 11-years old.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="left"><img class="grey_border aligncenter" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.38622997.jpg" alt="A Song of Wires" width="430" height="645" /></p>
<p align="left">
<strong>How do you get the word out about your shop?<br />
</strong>I list frequently on Etsy, and I advertise on a few sites.</p>
<p><strong>What's your creative process?<br />
</strong>I spent so many years having to be creative on demand, that I really just enjoy letting the ideas come to me without having to force anything. I will often let an idea stew for months before I actually act on it. I get influenced by lots of things I see, and eventually a combination of influences will gel into an idea.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want people to know about your work?<br />
</strong>I want my work to connect with people and have special meaning for them. It is valuable to me because it has meaning for others, and valuable to them because of that meaning. I want as many people as possible to be able to afford my work without having to scrimp and save and go without.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img class="grey_border aligncenter" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.39438556.jpg" alt="Redstar Raygun Tin Toy Box Art Print 8x10" width="430" height="344" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Anything else you'd like us to know?</strong><br />
I really appreciate the work you and others do to help artists like myself get their work into the hands of those who appreciate it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of our attempts to make this site more user-friendly, the images and graphics from SundayCruiseFever.com have all been sized at 450 pixels wide so it can load as fast as possible.  That means you get to see the pictures and read the articles as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Of course, the downside is that the pics can't be used for anything like, say, wallpaper for your computer screen.  So, instead of denying you readers the opportunity to decorate your desktops, here's a chance to get images designed especially for wallpaper, available exclusively at SundayCruiseFever.com!</p>
<p>This week's wallpapers are from last weekend's MSRA Toy Run.  It's generally the last big show of the year, and it brought out all kinds of amazing cars, such as these two C2 Corvettes.  The first is Harry Butz' Stingray Convertible.  Although most of the car was sacrificed so as to create a practical background image, it's easy to admire the gleaming paint and bodywork on Harry's sweet 60's beast.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">  <a href="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/red-stingray-800x600.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-766" title="red-stingray-800x600" src="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/red-stingray-800x600.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">800x600 screen resolution</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/red-stingray-1024x768.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-767" title="red-stingray-1024x768" src="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/red-stingray-1024x768.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1024x768 screen resolution</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The second image is Mike &#38; Darlene Skolny's 1967 all-original 'Vette.  The sportscar has the same 327 small block, same 4-speed, same everything as the day it rolled off the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/blue_stingray-800x600.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-765" title="blue_stingray-800x600" src="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/blue_stingray-800x600.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">800x600 screen resolution</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/blue_stingray-1024x768.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-764" title="blue_stingray-1024x768" src="http://jordanmorningstarblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/blue_stingray-1024x768.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1024x768 screen resolution</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">To set any of these pictures as your background image, click on the one matching your screen resolution.  This will take you to a new page with the image, which may take a second to load.  Once you can see everything, right-click on the picture and go down to "Set as Desktop."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why I ask?  There's a piece of metal in my wall and I don't remember ever having put it there.  I guess it was there when we moved in.  It's just kind of weird.  I see it every single day and I've never really even questioned why it is there or how it go there until tonight.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Yesterday there was an article in the Wall Street Journal about a true American hero who, if he is ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday there was an <a title="Debates Don't Always Reveal Character" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122273224998788261.html" target="_blank">article</a> in the Wall Street Journal about a true American hero who, if he is remembered at all, is thought of as an  doddering old man out of place during a vice-presidential debate back in 1992.</p>
<p>Here are some excerpts:</p>
<blockquote><p>As everyone saw that evening, he was not a politician. He was a fighter-pilot ace, a Medal of Honor recipient, and a wonderful dad and human being. During his eight years as a POW, he slit his scalp and beat his face with a stool to prevent his captors from parading him in the streets for propaganda purposes. He gave starving men his food rations when he himself was starving. And at home, after his release in 1973, he was a respected leader, scholar and writer. He considered himself a philosopher.</p>
<p>...he never took pity on himself -- ever. Not as a POW when he was tortured, forced to wear leg irons and to live in solitary confinement. And not after the debate. He knew he had put himself into that arena.</p>
<p>And yet on this particular evening in 1992, the country saw someone who looked confused and weak. Without knowing who he was or what he did for his country, most Americans turned off their TV sets and formed an opinion of him based on a 90-minute debate.</p>
<p>So while Mrs. Palin's background and political acumen are completely different from my father's, she and her family are going through an experience I recognize. They are trying to define themselves in a short time-span, within a loaded political context.</p>
<p>From personal experience, I doubt if someone can really be known in this type of atmosphere, and I empathize with her family members who suddenly have to explain things that shouldn't need explanation.</p></blockquote>
<p>His listing in Wikipedia evokes even greater gratitude for his service.</p>
