Просто чтобы поднять всем настроение.&lt;br&gt;
Фермер возвращается с рынка, купив молодого петуха в свой курятник.&lt;br&gt;
Молодой петух осмотрелся, подходит к старому и говорит:&lt;br&gt;
- Ну что старый, пора бы тебе свалить отсюда.&lt;br&gt;
И старый петух отвечает:&lt;br&gt;
- Да ладно, всё равно ж со всеми не управишься. Взгляни на меня, каким я со всеми этими стал. Может оставишь мне тех двух немолодых уже курочек, что сидят в углу?&lt;br&gt;

Но молодой петух ни в какую:&lt;br&gt;
- Исчезни, старый. Твой век закончился. Теперь я единственный, кто командует тут всем!&lt;br&gt;

Отвечает старый:&lt;br&gt;
- Ладно, молодой и здоровый, давай наперегонки вокруг дома 5 раз. Кто первый, тот и главный в курятнике. Только дай мне всего 5 секунд фору за мой возраст.&lt;br&gt;

Молодой рассмеялся и говорит.&lt;br&gt;
- Слушай, ты, со свалки, знаешь же, что проиграешь. Хрен с тобой, хоть десять, на втором кругу все равно уже будешь позади...&lt;br&gt;
Старый петух стартует и через 10 секунд молодой бросается вдогонку. Сделали круг и молодой все ближе к старику, остались считанные метры...&lt;br&gt;

... вдруг жена фермера кричит:&lt;br&gt;
- Ты кого блин опять купил? Он за нашим петухом гоняется!!!&lt;br&gt;

Фермер в ярости берет ружье и ба-бах  в мододого петуха. Всё, пипец молодому...&lt;br&gt;

- Нее, ну, не может такого быть!!! Третий петух за неделю и все голубые, блин!!!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
МОРАЛЬ:&lt;br&gt;
Не связывайся со &quot;СТАРЫМИ&quot;. Возраст, мудрость и опыт обычно всегда выигрывают...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

ВОЗРАСТ И СЕДИНА ДОЛЖНЫ ВСЕГДА  ВЫЗЫВАТЬ УВАЖЕНИЕ!!!&lt;br&gt;

Моё почтение всем &quot;старым&quot;, прочитавшим этот анекдот!!!!&lt;br&gt;

👍Отошли всем друзьям пусть поржут!!!😄😄😄

And again about MTA.&lt;br /&gt;
As you all aware MTA more or less recently increased the fare, by 25 cents: &amp;nbsp;quietly, without any discussion or public announcement.&lt;br /&gt;
But in last few weeks we again see same picture: slow trains, unexplained delays, especially during rush hours.&lt;br /&gt;
What is going on?&lt;br /&gt;
Be ready, we are about learn that fare hike on top of us again! How it will be done? Most likely same way, quietly and without any announcements or discussions. Chairman of MTA already making noise in Albany about shortage of funding and not getting enough from the city and state. I would like to know how agency servicing about 10 million people a day(income about $60 million a day!) can have shortage of funding.Not counting money from tunnels and bridges.&lt;br /&gt;
Is there IRS audit around to look at finances of that company? Where all those money goes to?&lt;br /&gt;
And 10 million is the&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;lowest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;estimation of the number of people who uses MTA service in NYC every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All this make me thinking about financial responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;
Lets see.&lt;br /&gt;
I live and work in Brooklyn. Every week I am paying $5.5* 5=$27.5 just to get to work and back home.&lt;br /&gt;
However if I drive a car, Honda for example, with 45 mpg I would need about 3 gallons of gas per week!!!&lt;br /&gt;
In money amount, even with current price of the gas, it would be less than $11!!!&lt;br /&gt;
That is good incentive to switch from MTA subways to my own car. And if I get electric, I may even get some tax credits on top of the gas economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But from other hand I perfectly know that about 15% to 20% of oil production worldwide come from area controlled by IGIL(aka ISIS) which is well known terrorist organization. And money paid for that oil comes to support terrorism, right?&lt;br /&gt;
That would make anyone who pushes people to switch from public transportation to private cars - promoter, if not direct supporter, of terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;
But in this case we seen huge semi-private company, supported and controlled by NYS and Federal government doing all it can to push people away from public transportation.&lt;br /&gt;
And in terms it make me feel like MTA is the biggest supporter of terrorism in NY state!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
p.s. one more thing. President of MTA making bit over $400.000 per year in salary alone plus bonuses.&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to know for what he is getting paid? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And bonuses for doing pretty bad job, don&#39;t you think this is ridiculous?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Recently it comes to my attention that many so called &quot;web security&quot; experts issuing reports on web sites vulnerability using tools such as security scanner from &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Acunetix site. You can download and try it for free but how really usefull this tool is?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;As I said earlier I am a web developer and working on that fields since 1996. Looks like I do have some expirience and would like to tell you: do not waste your money on that kind of tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;I can create such a tools within 20 minutes and it will show unsuspected user scary picture of his website possible vulnerabilities. But how many of those scary things are real? Belive it or not but even developers of such tools have no clue. Best example is SQL injection vulnerability. Any web site which have database behind it is potentially vulnerable to it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;And all scanning tools have show that. Small things which none considered is human factor behind it. For example none of sites developed by me was ever broken using SQL injection!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;There were vulnerabilities on IIS side but that is nothing your developers can do about. Only your network and sysadmin can keep up your systems up to date with Microsoft updates to protect system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;As a result what would I recommend to all web site users and future owners?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Better spend it on your IT team education and allocate resources on books and code reviews.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Establish company standards and do not let anyone - no matter how high or valuable this person for your company - compromise those standards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;That is your only protection against hackers and other type of&amp;nbsp; BS waste.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;And keep in mind&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;the old&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;saying,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;but still&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;the avaricious pays twice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;short_text&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Do you understand what Bloomberg is doing recently?&lt;br /&gt;
First he is launching campaign to reduce speed limit to 20 mph in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, I know that it does not compile: how successful businessman can be that idiotically stupid.&lt;br /&gt;
Did he ever drive a car, I do not think so.&lt;br /&gt;
Most likely he always use limo and that is why he does not know that 99.99% of the cars in US (and that include NYC) adapted for running at speed 55+ mph.&lt;br /&gt;
What is happening at lower speed?&lt;br /&gt;
Exactly what Bloomberg said that he is working hard to avoid when he set anti-smoking rules in the city:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; more polluted smoke comes out of the working engines into air.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Car makers does acknowledge that most effective way to use cars is at high speed -over highways.&lt;br /&gt;
At lower speed in the city we have higher level of emissions and that is what Bloomberd doing.&lt;br /&gt;
Or maybe he does not care about poisoning people because he getting more money from gas stations and oil industry?&lt;br /&gt;
Can you answer this? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;For me answer is clear: raise voice and tell him to resign from mayor position now, before it is too late. And if not — impeachment I think is the good legal option to.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Recently, while on Hawaiian vacation, I decide to stop smoking.&lt;br /&gt;
Want to see how does it feel -- been smoke free.&lt;br /&gt;
Works just fine and I discovered that even coffee smell different. For example Brazilian and Arabic have completely different aroma to my surprise. And whiskey is not the same as vodka, even do it manufacturing procedure almost the same. So, I did not smoke for almost 30 days or my entire vacation. And be amid ocean breeze and gorgeous woman did help :-), a lot actually.&lt;br /&gt;
Felt great and I assumed that as soon as I get back to New York I will continue with this none smoking routine.&lt;br /&gt;
You know what? New York sucks in all terms and under any sense of this word. Even while I was stepping down from jet I sensed that air is not the same as in Hawaii for some reason. At first I assumed that it is because a time difference and jet legs.&lt;br /&gt;
But by the next day – my first work day – I knew what is wrong. Subway stinks so horribly that I was forced to walk all the way from Brooklyn to NYC downtown. There were all those stinks from street vendor’s cages.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result I could not stand it. Here is first few reasons why new yorkers should not quit smoking:&lt;br /&gt;
1. Subways stench comes not from just underground rats and decay but from all those homeless people sleeping in the subway cars.Think about it. When MTA anti-rat commandos sprayed all over tunnels and stations special pesticides and rat poison where do you think vapors and small dust particles goes?&lt;br /&gt;
Keep in mind that those poisoned particles tends to accumulate in your body. And later you will ask where the hell did I got poisoned or got cancer...&lt;br /&gt;
2. Smell of garbage emanating all over this freaken city and mayor currently only worries about how to get more money out of city coffins before he take final walk out of City Hall.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Wind from Atlantic not as fresh as we force to believe. It smell has nothing to do with fresh breeze from ocean and more with stench of the garbage dumped over years into East River and Hudson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or we have another option –- do not go to vacation into areas where air is remain clean and wind from the ocean smell like a fresh salt water wind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not stop or quit smoking unless you really want to know how New York smells.&lt;br /&gt;
But if you do quit smoking - move far-far away from New York…&lt;/div&gt;

Ok boys and girls.&lt;br /&gt;
Do you know what season this is?&lt;br /&gt;
Yes you do, time to re-visit fare for subways. MTA already done with bridges and tunnels this year. Now it is our turn to shake pocketbooks.&lt;br /&gt;
How this raise will be performed.&lt;br /&gt;
Simple really.&lt;br /&gt;
Most of us already see overcrowded subway cars, unexplained delays at the rush hours, especially on the way back home.&lt;br /&gt;
In a few weeks MTA will announce that because of the shortage in their funds they will have to raise fares or face compete shut down of the system. &lt;br /&gt;
We all really know that it is not a shortage of funds the issue: it is their greed and financial irresponsibility.&lt;br /&gt;
How could the huge company runs year after year with budget deficit and all their management getting yearly/quarterly benefits?&lt;br /&gt;
Are we live in communist ruled country?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Does this means that you should try it as well?&lt;br /&gt;
I would not.&lt;br /&gt;

Pay attention: use to be. &lt;br /&gt;
There is apparently new rules there, if you ask a question and either nobody know answer or just nobody else searching how to resolve the same or similar problem you got banned to post your question or even create new profile. Does not matter how good your reputation was there before!!!&lt;br /&gt;
You can earn black mark for something which this site actually originally build and respected for.&lt;br /&gt;
For example my profile was banned just because I asked if anyone know how to resolve problem on Counterpoint. Not to many people does even knows what the hell Counterpoint is, so I did expect that those who does can help me in something what used to be a collection of best computer geeks in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
So be aware and do not ask questions there if you not sure that there is someone knows answer or at least have similar problem and searching for answers.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/feeds/8234158506739373903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2012/03/stackoverflowcom-dead-or-just-to-much.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/8234158506739373903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/8234158506739373903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2012/03/stackoverflowcom-dead-or-just-to-much.html' title='stackoverflow.com dead or just to much to handle?'/><author><name>All Blond</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08559649074474465475</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDBwm76hP3IEMuF6jQl-NSXunlZ4GJIOFsGS8KA65rPqRP9nfzF-4fpqFuCwSuE6vVsLKpJjsgZ-rjz6DNuCgF0iT0kNpLv_huvz9csIn_xA7m0MOWbowJKglxqovDr0/s220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842181884514592989.post-7749525079199630618</id><published>2012-03-01T16:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T16:16:13.554-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="brain"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="medicine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="scientists"/><title type='text'>Do we even need a brain?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn1Z3PQ73EVs3C1syclUs0u7dFZmejCs77iOlUxe28WRup5UqyGmLVTSCsXl7DgjM_mSmLsP_XvWhlURhLz1kH9j1KlCBuUlgcDaIK8B83Cqoc4b6VCqaUoEt7gsk5gWoVCAK0rxyY68/s1600/00014e19108d4ef826be9fdacbc91c2b%255B1%255D.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;170&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn1Z3PQ73EVs3C1syclUs0u7dFZmejCs77iOlUxe28WRup5UqyGmLVTSCsXl7DgjM_mSmLsP_XvWhlURhLz1kH9j1KlCBuUlgcDaIK8B83Cqoc4b6VCqaUoEt7gsk5gWoVCAK0rxyY68/s320/00014e19108d4ef826be9fdacbc91c2b%255B1%255D.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cheerful American named Carlos Rodriguez lives with virtually no brain. He does not have the frontal lobes, and in general there is little in the skull after a terrible car accident. But he is no different from other people ... when he in his hat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also described a case of the 16th century, when dissected boy, who died 3 years after severe injuries of the skull. The autopsy found he had no brain. How did he live three years? Some scientists believe that there is a so-called &quot;abdominal brain&quot;. Indeed, in the stomach and intestines of about 100 million nerve cells, much more than in the spinal cord, for example. As far as Rodriguez, the identity of its totally changed after he had removed more than 60% of the brain, has not changed the memory and cognitive abilities. What was he thinking? To answer this question remains to be learned.&lt;br /&gt;

They discovered body of ancient Egyptian over 2200 years old. He were sick and diagnosis was cancer. But how that could of be? 2200 years ago there were no tobacco or cars or any other known pollutants? More over turns out that this is not the first body found like that, with cancer as a primary cos of death in time way before Christianity was even a project.&lt;br /&gt;
Well after keep it quiet for over 2 years, and for that this study was performed in Portugal, scientist finally recognized, but not as they should, that cancer is not result of tobacco or anything environmental so far.&lt;br /&gt;

Use of tobacco slows down by 7% a year in average. At least 5 millions quits.&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the tobacco manufacturing facilities are out or almost out of business.&lt;br /&gt;
Government is proud of this achievement.&lt;br /&gt;
Why the hell this does not make me happy? Because I am smokers with over 40 years behind or &lt;b&gt;because I know about other statistics&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Use of marijuana grow in the same 3 years by incredible amounts. Over 15 millions people now users. Compare it to 2,5 just 3 years ago. And our government doing more to push people to this road.&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder why on earth it (US government) making sure that people quit using tobacco and legalizing use of more dangerous and addictive drugs?&lt;br /&gt;
Are we all under control of marijuana mafia or some kind of drug cartel from Mexico?&lt;br /&gt;
Look at the statistics and start asking questions. &lt;br /&gt;
Why occupy Wall street appeared right after that statistical research was put on the table of current administration and why nobody bothered to ask what the hell is going on? What is the point of that movement if they do not have clear objective? Could it be simple solution to let steam out under controlled conditions before someone actually flash the light on our government?&lt;br /&gt;
Marijuana  is well know to put people in state of euphoria and lose connection to the real world. Could that be a point for government? &lt;br /&gt;
Tobacco on the other hand in old days known as a part of the war time ration for soldiers along with 3-4 ounces(100 metric grams) of alcohol. Anybody care to ask why tobacco and not a heroin, morphine, cocaine or marijuana?&lt;br /&gt;
Here is another question for you to think about. States like Virginia, Caroline and Georgia have big stakes in tobacco manufacturing and huge part of the incomes there comes from it. What will happen with all those people? All their life they grow tobacco or worked on tobacco manufacturing facilities. Where will they go?&lt;br /&gt;
If you have answers for those question feel free to post here as your comments.&lt;/div&gt;

Awhile ago small article has been posted on EPA website.&lt;br /&gt;
It went unnoticed by public and there is a good reason for it.&lt;br /&gt;
Who in their right mind knows what EPA stands for and what it does.&lt;br /&gt;
Actually we all should. &lt;br /&gt;
Why?&lt;br /&gt;
EPA is abbreviation for Environmental Protection Agency, government agency which exists to protect us from poisoning ourselves by polluting environment.&lt;br /&gt;
And in most cases it serve to cover government a@#es in case if some whistle blowers start making too much noise about issue such as pollution in water we drink. Because there is always article published on the site of this agency related to any if not all environmental problem we have. Article I am talking about covering huge variety of poisonous materials found in Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.&lt;br /&gt;
Why this is important and why NYC mayor and assembly doing all what they can to cover it up or at least distract public attention? &lt;br /&gt;
Let see. &lt;br /&gt;
Water from that canal getting into East river and from there into area where fish lives.&lt;br /&gt;
Where do you think fresh fish to Manhattan fish market comes from?&lt;br /&gt;
Concentration of lead, mercury, sulfates in water from Gowanus is over 100 times more then &quot;acceptable&quot; limits are.&lt;br /&gt;
What does EPA and NYC assembly do to protect us?&lt;br /&gt;
They ban smoking on public places such as beaches and parks.&lt;br /&gt;
I am so happy that they care about our health and well being that I am not going to vote until Bloomberg in power.&lt;br /&gt;
They not just wasting our hard earned money which they got as a taxes from our packets, they intentionally endanger our lives by pretending that they care and posting fake health barrier while real health hazard getting into water and on our tables.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BLOMBERG and all his foxes has to GO AWAY.&lt;br /&gt;
Honest man would resigned his post after all he did in last 2 years!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;QUIT SMOKING!!!!!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This you can see all over places, TV, hear on radio and even some idiots start making song on that.&lt;br /&gt;
What is the truth about smoke and why government pushing this line?&lt;br /&gt;
Lets start with one biggest and most obvious: car pollution.&lt;br /&gt;
Since there is no actual working solution for poisons getting into people lungs from cars and other internal combustion engines, at least until we run out of oil, government and big fat jerks from oil companies invented escape goat -- tobacco!&lt;br /&gt;
Easy and almost ingenious solution. &lt;br /&gt;
People wenting air about second hand smoke, creating law for prohibiting smoke in public places etc &amp;nbsp;remain oblivious to biggest and most dangerous reason of failing nation health..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just wondering: whom or what they going to blame after cars engines stop throwing thousand gallons of poisoned gases into air and into our lungs? Well we will not have to wait for very long, estimated oil reserves will be gone by 2030 and hopefully I will be around to see it..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this is the only one of many reason for attacks on smokers and I will shed light on all of it -- one step at the time&lt;/div&gt;

Social Security has built up a $2.5 trillion surplus since the retirement program was last overhauled in the 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
Now that  Social Security is running deficits, the federal government will have to  find money elsewhere to help pay for retirement, disability and  survivor benefits.&lt;br /&gt;
The $2.5 trillion surplus, however, has been borrowed over the years  by the federal government and spent on other programs. In return, the  Treasury Department has issued bonds to Social Security, guaranteeing  repayment with interest. &lt;br /&gt;
Social Security supporters are adamant that the program will be repaid, as one of the tendencies here is what officials and former officials say now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It means that Social Security is increasingly adding to our long-term fiscal problem, and it&#39;s happening now,&quot; said &lt;a class=&quot;kLink&quot; href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110127/ap_on_bi_ge/us_social_security#&quot; id=&quot;KonaLink3&quot; target=&quot;undefined&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #366388; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kLink&quot; style=&quot;color: #366388; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;&quot;&gt;Eugene &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kLink&quot; style=&quot;color: #366388; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;&quot;&gt;Steuerle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a former Treasury official who is now a fellow at the Urban Institute think tank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;So long as Social Security was running surpluses, policymakers could  put off the need to fix the program,&quot; said Andrew Biggs, a former deputy  commissioner at the Social Security Administration who is now a  resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically all researchers up to date agreed that we should not make any plans to receive retirement paycheck after 2037 because there will be no money by that time in fund which was suppose to be our safety net for the time we no longer able to work.&lt;br /&gt;
Money suppose to be our and not government to spent on supporting some third world countries.&lt;br /&gt;
What will happens if any of you borrow money from the bank and can not re-pay?&lt;br /&gt;
Correct, default followed by calls and visits by collection agencies. Who will collect our money from the government for us?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mister President, stop wasting money on third world countries who hate us anyway and especially because we help them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stop making widows and start creating JOBS!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;b&gt; 4 minutes later:  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;6 minutes:  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;10 minutes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;45 minutes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    The musician played continuously.  Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;1 hour:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    No one knew this, but the violinist was &lt;b&gt;Joshua Bell&lt;/b&gt;, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before &lt;b&gt;Joshua Bell&lt;/b&gt; sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;$100&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
    This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station  was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people&#39;s priorities . The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:  If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.... How many other things are we missing?........... ....  &lt;br /&gt;
     &lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
.. ..take the time to smell the flowers..&lt;br /&gt;
.dance in the rain....&lt;br /&gt;

Can you tell me how on earth president and all his advisers could possibly expect economy to grow while people do not have money to spend?&lt;br /&gt;
Why is that you may wonder.&lt;br /&gt;
Lets start from beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
In most of the cities of USA rent is so high that people cannot afford any luxuries at all.&lt;br /&gt;
Example?&lt;br /&gt;
New York city.&lt;br /&gt;
Average household income for family of 4 is $44,600.00.&lt;br /&gt;
Average rent for one(!!!) bedroom for that same family is $1800, plus utility such as electricity, phone, gas for cooking. All together it sum up to $2000 per month.&lt;br /&gt;
For a year it will be $24000. &lt;br /&gt;
Taxes for family of 4 plus Medicaid and Social security taxes, federal, local takes out around 20% of income($8,920.00). So how much money left to spend? $44600-$8920-$24000=$11680.&lt;br /&gt;
That would be less than $1000 per month for entire family or less than $10 per day per person. Travel to work(school, college etc) is $4.5 now, just a bagel with cup of coffee $2. How much left for dinner and launch - $3.5. What about clothes, books or anything else we must have?&lt;br /&gt;
What can we afford to buy?  &lt;br /&gt;
Barely enough food to just feed our children that is what. &lt;br /&gt;
No luxuries or extra spending at all. Even visit to a movie became a grand adventure now.&lt;br /&gt;
How do you expect your economy to grow if you do not care about by people who is back bone of that economy?&lt;br /&gt;
Why don’t you make rent tax deductible for families earning less than for example $100.000.00 but at the same time raise taxes specifically for landlords with luxury apartments (leases $1200+). In most cases those apartments are the same as regular one, priced as luxury just because landlords pushed rent to go outside of rent regulations law limits.&lt;br /&gt;
This way it will prompt landlords to stop raising rents just because they can and politicians to do better jobs to control what is going on in their cities.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/feeds/7021362762984075551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/08/to-president-obama-open-letter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/7021362762984075551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/7021362762984075551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/08/to-president-obama-open-letter.html' title='To a president Obama, an open letter'/><author><name>All Blond</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08559649074474465475</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDBwm76hP3IEMuF6jQl-NSXunlZ4GJIOFsGS8KA65rPqRP9nfzF-4fpqFuCwSuE6vVsLKpJjsgZ-rjz6DNuCgF0iT0kNpLv_huvz9csIn_xA7m0MOWbowJKglxqovDr0/s220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842181884514592989.post-2860506103802042859</id><published>2011-07-28T16:02:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-13T12:03:12.366-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="deductions"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="landlords"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New York"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="rent hike"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="taxes"/><title type='text'>Every spring we have fuel cost rises</title><content type='html'>Every spring we have fuel cost rises and as a result, allegedly, rent goes up.&lt;br /&gt;
Why we do not have rent decrease when fuels going down on fall or winter then?&lt;br /&gt;
As you may notice in recent years NYC lost lot of population because NYC resident can no longer afford renting apartment in NYC and people moving out to NJ and Long Island.&lt;br /&gt;
For example I make about $30 per hour before taxes and my salary did not changed since 2005 because of bad financial situation in NYC, not because I did not deserved a raise. That was clearly stated by company management.&lt;br /&gt;
City taxes, state taxes and sales taxes went up.&lt;br /&gt;
Cost of health insurance, products prices all went up by almost 100%.&lt;br /&gt;
Explain to me how on earth I will support my family when rent increased in the same time by over 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
And do I have answer for you on this one.&lt;br /&gt;
If politicians did care about us as they claim we would have rent as tax deductible part of our 1040 (or what ever you fill out) form for IRS.&lt;br /&gt;
That will force landlords to think is it worth to pay more taxes from their end and assemble people who actually approved rents hike will think how much they will lose from budget after each increase.&lt;br /&gt;
Win-win for everybody.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/feeds/2860506103802042859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/07/every-spring-we-have-fuel-cost-rises.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/2860506103802042859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/2860506103802042859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/07/every-spring-we-have-fuel-cost-rises.html' title='Every spring we have fuel cost rises'/><author><name>All Blond</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08559649074474465475</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDBwm76hP3IEMuF6jQl-NSXunlZ4GJIOFsGS8KA65rPqRP9nfzF-4fpqFuCwSuE6vVsLKpJjsgZ-rjz6DNuCgF0iT0kNpLv_huvz9csIn_xA7m0MOWbowJKglxqovDr0/s220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842181884514592989.post-7075922014194851503</id><published>2011-05-04T18:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T18:35:39.130-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Rent increase for New Yorkers another gift from Bloomberg administration.</title><content type='html'>Every sprint we have fuel cost rises and as a result, allegedly, rent goes up.&lt;br /&gt;

I am wondering why is that you attacking all tobacco smokers and keep ignoring biggest smoke producers in the world -- cars?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How much does oil industry paying to you to keep you silent on that issue.&lt;br /&gt;
Or it simple that you can not do calculation on how much more smoke (and much more dangerous poisons, if you would like to know) comes out of single tale-pipe of the gas burning car in a minute then from couple hundred smokers per hour?&lt;br /&gt;
Why are you silent about health effects of pollutions from cars and any other internal combustion engines?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you know how many people has die because of the health effects of the breathing those poisons compare by tobacco smoking?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Single car poisoning hundreds if not thousands around him while driving and you say nothing about that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why do you scream about single smokers who, you not even sure, have any effect on couple people close to him?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stop wasting taxpayers money on false issues which is used by FAT CATS from oil companies to mask real problems.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/feeds/5946105706768065403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/02/open-letter-to-who-of-un.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/5946105706768065403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842181884514592989/posts/default/5946105706768065403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allblond.blogspot.com/2011/02/open-letter-to-who-of-un.html' title='Open letter to WHO of UN'/><author><name>All Blond</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08559649074474465475</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDBwm76hP3IEMuF6jQl-NSXunlZ4GJIOFsGS8KA65rPqRP9nfzF-4fpqFuCwSuE6vVsLKpJjsgZ-rjz6DNuCgF0iT0kNpLv_huvz9csIn_xA7m0MOWbowJKglxqovDr0/s220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842181884514592989.post-2860496229860761196</id><published>2011-02-07T12:48:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-02-07T12:53:58.093-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What does WHO has to say about second-hand smoking and why report got buried?</title><content type='html'>According to a &lt;b&gt;WHO&lt;/b&gt; report of 1999 there was no evidence that second-hand smoking killed. It﻿ showed , interestingly, that children, who grew up﻿ with smoking parent(s) had a less risk of getting lung cancer, and as a second result they ususally do not smoked!!! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happened to this report? Who buried it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the anti-smokers realized enstrom &amp; Kabat&#39;s upcoming results they stopped funding it and buried it! &lt;br /&gt;
Small historical data: Hitler was an extreme anti-smoker; &lt;br /&gt;
apparently he got beaten by chain-smoking FDR, Stalin &amp; cigar-hero Churchill. &lt;br /&gt;

Last week city counsel wasted hundreds of work hours(who knows how much did it cost for each and every one of us) to create law and break US Constitution once again.&lt;br /&gt;
I am talking about prohibition on smoking in parks and beaches of the New York city. It purpose in reality not just prohibit us from smoking but to &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;divert attention&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; of the public from real and dangerous situation with city environment.&lt;br /&gt;
Best example is in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d0cf6618525a9efb85257359003fb69d/e99317da92c631ce8525782b0057e138!OpenDocument&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; style=&quot;color: white;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Gowanus canal.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Level of poisons there well over lethal dose for any human being: Mercury over 100 time over acceptable limits, sulfate, oil, lead and many more.&lt;br /&gt;
What does counsel do about it? Exactly nothing, they vote to prohibit smoking in public places which create a diversion and outrage public screams about it everywhere. Meanwhile small post in EPA website goes unnoticed and soon to be forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;
