Mike Malloy – Why Occupy Wall Street? We’ve Had Enough!

Cody Jacobson — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:12:07 +0000

Why Occupy Wall Street? Maybe it’s time. Time to tax the rich and the corporations. Time to bring the troops home. Time to cut military spending. Time to protect the social safety net. Time to strengthen Social Security. Time for Medicare for everybody. Time to end corporate welfare. Time to transition to a clean energy economy. Time to protect workers’ rights. Time to get money out of politics.

The Role of the Family in a Free Market

Cody Jacobson — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:54:11 +0000

Alex Merced discusses the importance of the Institution of Family in solving major social problems in a free market such as: – Childhood Development – Retirement Planning – Adoption of unwanted children Why: In a free market like in other culture would be your retirement plan, parents would typically be taken care of by the children so this incentivizes parent to invest more of their time and money into their children. But: While of course they may be few who don’t have children, the incentives of a free market would keep this to number much smaller than now which would be able to handle by the charitable sector of the economy.

Paul Craig Roberts: The Impotence of Elections – Alex Jones Tv 1/4

Cody Jacobson — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:01:05 +0000

Paul Craig Roberts www.infowars.com. http November 3, 2010 In his historical novel, The Leopard, Giuseppe di Lampedusa writes that things have to change in order to remain the same. That is what happened in the US congressional elections on November 2. Americans out of work, out of income, out of homes and prospects, and out of hope for their children’s careers are angry. Jobs offshoring, which began on a large scale with the collapse of the Soviet Union, has merged the Democrats and Republicans into one party with two names. The Soviet collapse changed attitudes in socialist India and communist China and opened those countries, with their large excess supplies of labor, to Western capital. Pushed by Wall Street and Wal-Mart, American manufacturers moved production for US markets offshore to boost profits and shareholder earnings by utilizing cheap labor. The decline of the US manufacturing work force reduced the political power of unions and the ability of unions to finance the Democratic Party. The end result was to make the Democrats dependent on the same sources of financing as Republicans. Prior to this development, the two parties, despite their similarities, represented different interests and served as a check on one another. The Democrats represented labor and focused on providing a social safety net. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment insurance, housing subsidies, education, and civil rights were Democratic issues. Democrats were …

Knightsong 2 – The Chilling Melodies of Batman (Mad Hatter)

Cody Jacobson — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:35:06 +0000

Batman: The Animated Series was a very popular American cartoon produced by Warner Brothers which originally aired from 1992 to 1995. It’s dark atmosphere, adult themes and dramatic voice acting helped make the show groundbreaking; Another very important factor that gave the series it’s edge was the stunning soundtrack composed by Shirley Walker (1945 – 2006). Batman: The Animated Series was unlike anything children had ever been presented. Instead of the cartoony and comedic Batman that had been featured in every Dark Knight television adaptation up to that point (like the famous Adam West and Burt Ward live action TV show, and the Filmation toons), this series took place in a world far more similar to Tim Burton’s re-imagining of the franchise. Not only were some ideas from the Tim Burton films directly taken into the show (like the Penguin’s plan to take over the Batmobile, and the Joker’s origin), the theme music composed by Danny Elfman was also present in the opening animation and heavily influenced the rest of Shirley Walker’s work on the series. The show had a very intense and dark atmosphere, not only because of the art work by producer Bruce Timm, but many of the backgrounds were painted on black paper. This created a film noir like ambient which contrasted heavily with other children animation at the time which were far more colorful and bright. The characters and their endeavors felt real, as they dealt with legitimate and adult issues like paranoia, death of …

RFID Security

Cody Jacobson — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:16:30 +0000

RFID Security – RFID is a method of remotely storing and receiving data using devices called RFID tags. RFID tags can be small adhesive stickers containing antennas that receive and respond to transmissions from RFID transmitters. RFID tags are used to identify and track everything from food, dogs, beer kegs to library books.

RFID tags use a standard that has already been hacked by several researchers. RFID Security discusses the motives for someone wanting to hack an RFID system and shows how to protect systems.

Coverage includes: security breaches for monetary gain (hacking a shops RFID system would allow a hacker to lower the pricing on any product products). How to protect the supply chain (malicous/mischievous hackers can delete/alter/modify all identifying information for an entire shipment of products). How to protect personal privacy (privacy advocates fear that RFID tags embedded in products, which continue to transmit information after leaving a store, will be used to track consumer habits).

The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, colour, date of purchase, etc. .

* Deloitte & Touche expects over 10 billion RFID tags to be in circulation by the end of 2005
* Parties debating the security issue of RFID need information on the pros and cons of the technology and this is that information
* Little competition in a market desperate for information , and you can also read customer reviews for RFID Security More Information about RFID Security

Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (Shrii Shrii Anandamurti) Modern writer, philosopher, scientist, social theorist, and spiritual leader, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar has attracted a following in more than 130 countries. His books have been translated into all the world’s major languages, and his unique blend of historical perspective and social commentary has been the inspiration for social activists seeking progressive alternatives to capitalism and communism. From his early childhood in Bihar, India, where he was born in 1921, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar has been attracting others by his deep love for humanity and guiding them along the path of self-realization. Adjusting the ancient science of Tantra Yoga to meet the needs of this age, he developed a scientific and rational philosophy (based on the immanence and transcendence of God) and taught a system of practical spiritual disciplines for physical, mental and spiritual development. Recognizing him as a spiritually realized master, his followers called him Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, which means “He who attracts others as the embodiment of bliss”, or simply “Baba” (father). Those who followed his teachings found their lives transformed as they overcame the weaknesses and negative tendencies of the mind to experience a deep peace and bliss within. Inspired by his selfless example, they focused their efforts on serving the society and elevating the oppressed. Ananda Marga In 1955, while still leading a normal life as a railway official, Prabhat …

Oh Bare-Tool Milwaukee 0725-20 28 Volt 4-1/2-Inch Grinder/Cut-Off Tool (Tool Only, No Battery) niceBy Ron PAPretty light, easy to handle, has a lock-on switch on the back instead of the side, powerful enough but doesn’t quite match a good corded grinder, soft-start is ok but I sort of miss that torque-twist on startup. It does use up batteries pretty fast though, but as usual – no messing with power cords makes me very happy; especially on a grinder, as the nicked up cord on my old one will testify.See all 1 customer reviews… »» More Information about Bare-Tool Milwaukee 0725-20 28 Volt 4-1/2-Inch Grinder/Cut-Off Tool (Tool Only, No Battery)
