Trump's Economics Are Not Yielding The Growth He Promised

Trump s Economics Are Not Yielding The Growth He Promised
Date Posted: Thursday, February 28th, 2019

President Donald Trump's central claim about his economic policies officially crashed into reality on Thursday.

Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. Specifically, they insisted tax cuts and deregulation would return growth to its post-World War II average of 3 percent — a level, candidate Trump said derisively, that President Barack Obama became "the first president in modern history" never to reach in a single year.

New government data on Thursday morning show that Trump, too, has failed to reach the 3 percent promised land, according to one major metric. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis measured 2018 growth at 2.9 percent, matching the peak Obama enjoyed in 2015.

Instead of annual 2018 growth, the White House emphasized a different growth measure comparing growth from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018.

By that measure, the economy grew 3.1 percent. But Obama, too, reached 3 percent growth on a four-quarter basis four different times.

Where Obama failed to enjoy 3 percent annual growth was on the BEA's official annual number. His 2015 peak was 2.9 percent, like Trump's for 2018. Thursday's preliminary 2.9 percent figure could later be revised, although economist Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics said the most likely direction would be down.

For the rest of the president's term, economic forecasters agree, that number will decline.

"2018 will be the high-water mark for growth in the Trump administration," Zandi predicted. He expects the decade-old economic expansion will shrink to 1.1 percent growth in 2020, with a better-than-even chance of recession.

For the 21st century economy, 2.9 percent represents strong performance in any event. Not since 2005, during George W. Bush's presidency, has America seen a full-year expansion of 3 percent or more. Moreover, 2018 marked the second consecutive year that growth accelerated by six-tenths of a percentage point from 1.6 percent in Obama's final year in office.

GOP's hollow campaign pledge

Economically, that falls short of the upgrade Team Trump pledged. Politically, it demonstrates the hollowness of a core GOP campaign theme.

The theme hardly originated with Trump. Announcing his presidential candidacy in 2015, then-frontrunner Jeb Bush blamed Democratic policies for "the slowest economic recovery ever" and identified the solution as tax cuts and deregulation.

"There is not a reason in the world why we cannot grow at a rate of 4 percent of year," Bush declared.

Obama's economic advisers cited two big reasons: sluggish worker productivity and shrinking labor supply as baby boomers retire. Those factors, they argued, limited potential growth to a long-term average of 2 percent.

Trump, with characteristic grandiosity, dismissed that argument and outbid Bush. "We think it could be 5 or even 6" percent, he said.

His economic advisers remained more cautious. But they cast sustained growth of 3 percent or more, driven by new, productivity-boosting business investment, as the floor beneath their strategy for making Americans better off and protecting the federal budget.

"The foundation for the plan is 3 percent growth," budget director Mick Mulvaney told Congress. "In fact, that IS Trumponomics."

'Abracadabra,' Obama

Growth ticked up in 2017 to 2.2 percent, though that rate fell below what the Congressional Budget Office had forecast before Trump's election. As the president took steps toward deregulation, Republican allies in Congress called tax cuts critical to achieving their 3 percent goal.

The tax cuts passed in December 2017. And when growth surged to 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2018, the White House declared victory.

"We're on track to reach the highest annualized growth in 13 years," the president assured reporters.

"Remember when Obama said you need a magic wand to make that happen?" Donald Trump Jr. told Breitbart. "Well 'abracadabra,' Obama. We're doing it."

In fact, growth in a single quarter had topped 4.2 percent four different times during the Obama administration. A broad range of analysts had forecast that a deficit-financed tax-cut would stimulate short-term boost beginning in 2018.

Yet even as 3rd quarter growth slowed to 3.4 percent, White House advisers reiterated their confidence. In July, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin called the U.S. "well on the path" for four to five years of sustained 3 percent growth.

In December, top White House economist Kevin Hassett sounded the same note while acknowledging a slowdown in business investment. "We're definitely going to be at 3 or above 3" for both 2018 and 2019, he told CNBC.

Thursday's BEA data show otherwise. Growth kept falling in the fourth quarter, to 2.6 percent. The increase in business investment has continued to taper.

Having predicted growth of "substantially over 3 percent," former National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, has blamed Trump's trade tariffs for offsetting the boost from the tax cut. But the White House and its allies lacked credible evidence for their growth claim to begin with.

"The 3 percent long-term projection was always a stretch in light of the demographic headwinds," Harvard's Greg Mankiw, who chaired the Council of Economic Advisers for President Bush, told CNBC.

That doesn't mean the White House agenda won't have long-term benefits. But Republican economist Doug Holtz-Eakin, a former Bush adviser and CBO director, says determining its impact will take years.

"The real question is how much the trend has improved: are we decelerating to 2.5 percent instead of 2.0 percent?" asked Holtz-Eakin. "The test of the Trump administration policies will be their impact on productivity growth, and the data are not yet in."

Meantime, economists at CBO and the Federal Reserve have cut their forecasts for 2019 growth to 2.3 percent. For the long-term, both project growth below 2 percent.

warns of impending housing crisis

Nia Williams

August 20, 2009

“Whatever spin can be put on these figures to make them look better than they are, it is obvious that the rate at which new houses are being built is well behind target. Alongside the growing number of households, the next generation are going to struggle to find homes – rented or owned.

The Private Rented Sector has a major role to play in pulling the housing market out of the current slump and in housing people in years to come. While policy makers continue to ignore the importance of the private rented sector, they are storing up a future housing crisis. It is vital that the Government puts pressure on lenders to increase buy-to-let mortgage lending and does not put unnecessary red tape in the way of residential landlords.

The good news for landlords is that that rents and yields are likely to rise considerably as the ratio of prospective tenants to the number of rental properties increases. With official unemployment still rising fast, however, landlords would do well to protect their rental income through comprehensive tenant referencing and rent guarantee insurance.”

You Need a Comfortable Office Chair Now: 10 Things to Consider

By: | June 4, 2019 | Tags: ,
How to choose a comfortable office chair, 10 ways

Where do you blog?

Do you blog in a comfortable office chair or on your bed?

I blog in a chair that I wish was a comfortable office chair.

I have many office chairs in my home. The chair I consider the most comfortable varies by the day.

When guest author Eric Reyes first sent me his post “Buying Your Comfortable Office Chair: 10 Things to Consider,” I was wary.

After all, this is a blogging tips site.

After realizing we all need comfortable office chairs to blog in or suffer back problems, I gladly accepted Eric’s post.

Although Eric directs his tips to office workers, his suggestions involving aesthetics, productivity, financing the chair, ergonomics, weight capacity, wheels, armrest, seat’s material, and durability can relate to anyone, bloggers included.

Buying Your Comfortable Office Chair:

10 Things to Consider

Eric Reyes

Are you looking to purchase new office chairs? If yes, then you need to keep the comfort of your employees, their productivity, and office culture in mind, among other things. You need chairs that will ensure your staff is productive and that attract the best talent to come work for you. Hence as you shop from a vendor like Brisbane Fast Office Furniture, there are ten things to consider when buying your office chairs.

1. Aesthetics

Office aesthetics might be an essential consideration to make when buying office chairs. If your company relies on exceptional office design to attract top talent or reflect your core values, you need to assess how particular chair designs will impact employees’ and clients’ perceptions of your office as well as productivity. The chairs you choose can play a significant role in in the general culture and design of the office. Conventional office chairs can reflect a lot of corporate space, while more comfortable and creative chairs like colorful ottomans, couches, or beanbags can assist in encouraging employees to socialize while they are on breaks and feel at home while they work.

2. Flexibility

Workplaces that provide activity-based spaces or flexibility let the employees seek out their suitable work environments. Office chairs play a critical role in making these work environments accessible and productive. If you are looking to buy new chairs, you must consider the various tasks furniture can be used for. Solo work, formal meetings, and brainstorming sessions all need different arrangements of seating. Hence, if you choose chairs with adjustability and mobility, you will be able to implement a flexible work environment that meets the different needs of various departments.

3. Vendor Policies

If you are moving or redesigning an office, you may take the chance to revamp the furniture in the office across every department. When purchasing chairs in bulk, you must consider the policies of the furniture vendors. Purchasing new chairs is a big investment and extra costs such as shipping, returns, and maintenance can add up rapidly and make a massive dent in the organization’s budget. Also, some chairs may require being assembled in the office, which is another cost. Therefore, you require finding a vendor who has flexible policies and exceptional customer service to assist in reducing stress and hidden expenses.

4. Ergonomics

Chairs that are designed with the consideration of ergonomics assist in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and boosting the level of comfort of your team as they work. This is crucial to both the employees and the firm. MSDs incur billions of dollars in lost productivity annually and account for a massive portion of workplace injuries. In order to serve the unique comfort requirements of every individual in the workplace, you need to search for chairs that have numerous levels of adjustability. If you emphasize ergonomics when purchasing chairs, you will be able to form a healthy work environment while reducing the risk of injury.

5. Price

The price of an office chair is not always the measure of value. Hence, you require thinking twice prior to buying chairs that are a bit more expensive. They might end up being unsuitable choices. You require gathering all the information regarding the office chairs that you are looking for and then consider the price. If you discover that the chair is an excellent fit for your office, be sure to pay extra dollars. But if the chairs are normal, don’t spend too much money on them. Generally, the overall value for the price of a chair can be assessed by the special features and benefits that it possesses. Normally, the best office chairs have numerous different features that directly result in comfort, among other benefits.

6. Weight Capacity

Weight capacity is essential particularly if you are overweight and not every chair can support you. Buying a great office chair that can support the weight of your employees can assist them in being more productive. But the majority of office chairs have a high weight capacity, which makes them convenient for a big team. However, it is always ideal to double check the weight capacity to ensure every employee’s weight can be supported. Moreover, if you want your office chairs to be stronger and more durable, confirm the weight capacity.

7. Wheels

Wheels are also an essential consideration to look at when buying office chairs. Great and quality wheels can assist your staff in moving around the office without any issues. Wheels are designed from plastic most of the times and are strong enough to hold your weight. Getting office chairs that have wheels is more convenient and better than getting a chair that cannot move freely.

8. Seat’s Material

The material of the seat is crucial since it is directly linked to the comfort of the chair and other things. The majority of office chairs are designed out of cushions and the finest fibers to offer your staff maximum comfort. However, there are plenty of different fibers that are used to make an office chair. One of the most exceptional fibers is leather.

9. Armrest

When considering the armrest, two things are crucial, and these are the length and height. The armrests are important at lifting off pressure from your hands and free them from pain as you work. The armrest’s height is essential as it makes sure that the arms are well positioned for you to work. If the height of the armrest is unsuitable, you will be uncomfortable and less productive. The same applies to the length of the armrest. It needs to be long enough for your arms to have a perfect position. If not, you will end up hurting your arms and feeling uncomfortable.

10. Durability

Durable office chairs will need less maintenance and replacements. Highly durable chairs can be an excellent choice for saving costs in the long-term, even when the initial investment is high. Be sure to check the specifications and reviews regarding weight capacity to comprehend the amount of strain the chair can take.

Wrapping Up: Host blogger’s comments:

You need a comfortable office chair.

A comfortable office chair is helpful when you blog. After all, you won’t be distracted by back aches and shoulder aches and can better focus on your post.

I mean, your livelihood can depend on your physical comfort. Imagine trying to earn money online while distracted by the aches and pains caused by an uncomfortable chair.

Hopefully, Eric offered you some helpful tips on how to choose a comfortable office chair.

Readers, please share so people who need a comfortable office chair read Eric’s tips for selecting one.

I look forward to your views in the comments section. Are there any tips for buying a comfortable office chair you can think of that Eric left out?

    Comfortable chair with a feature of increased ergonomics results in a healthy workplace environment which thus creates conducive conditions for the employees to work with greater efficiency and increased productivity. Not only it is necessary in the working organizations, but for the personal blogging also.

    For a long time I have been thinking about buying a new gaming chair, because the current isn’t in good condition. Thanks for the valuable advice, I will definitely use parts when choosing a new chair 🙂

    As someone who has spent entirely too much time in a Chiropractor’s office, I can attest to the fact that a comfortable and well-suited to your body type office chair works wonders! There isn’t much worse than spending a day being productive writing, only to discover later that evening or the next day that your pain levels have skyrocketed. Ouch!

    I’ve had one office chair that I loved. It was a soft leather type material and had multiple adjustments for lumbar spine support, mid-back support and a proper resting place for the neck. The writer is correct – expensive doesn’t always equal quality. Everyone’s needs will vary.

    Thanks for sharing, Janice and Eric. Hope your day is wonderful! 🙂

      Hi Holly,
      I need two criteria met to be comfortable when I blog–the chair has to be comfortable and the table or desk the laptop is on must be the right height. Too low, I’m hunched over. Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you feel my guest author has valid tips.

  4. Kristine Raya | at 5:26 pm

    I couldn’t agree more! Right now I am working on our couch in front our TV while working. I prefer this than my office space because I do not have the comfortable office chair I always wanted. I only have monobloc chair in my office space and prolonged sitting is really a pain in the a$$… literally. Being on the couch hurts my bottom less but it hurts my back and makes me sleepy most of the time. I wish I have the budget to buy myself that office chair.

    • Janice Wald | at 1:34 pm

      Hi Joel,
      I appreciate your comments. Initially, I didn’t think people coming to my site would be interested in this post, but many, like you, are telling me about their physical discomforts. A chair certainly helps or hinders that.

  5. Joy Healey | at 3:08 pm

    Hi Janice,

    This article is completely relevant to blogging. I published one about preventing back ache from sitting uncomfortably. It was actually my elder son who pointed out that my appalling posture could be the cause of my dreadful back pain – and when I got a more comfortable office chair, the pain went.

    However I’m feeling a little guilty as I sit here typing because I also bought a “standing desk” which is a contraption that lets me stand up to work. I don’t use it as often as i should – especially as it took my younger son half a day to put it together!!

      Hi Joy,
      I’m my relieved the post about a comfortable office chair relates to bloggers. Thanks for letting me know.
      My posture is also poor. Did your posture improve when you switched chairs? It makes sense our shoulders would curve from hunching over a desk too low. The standing desk is a good idea.
      Thanks for commenting.

  6. Quy | at 5:05 am

    Could not agree more on your points. I’ve seen a lot of people think “It’s just a chair” (I work for an ergonomic office furniture retailer), but they don’t consider the long term benefit of choosing the right one.

    I think maybe something to also consider is the warranty that the manufacturer offer. Since you are paying a lot for the perfect chair, you’ll want to know what is covered and how long if something does go wrong.

    Well written article!

    • Janice Wald | at 6:05 am

      Hi Quy,
      Thanks for your comments and your compliments. I appreciate you adding to the discussion with your suggestion. It’s a good one. Warranties are important.

Our Carbon Footprint

One of Motherlove’s founding principles, or pillars, as we call them, is “Sustaining and Giving”. We’ve talked on this blog before about how we are committed to being a good steward of the environment and how we like to give back to our community. We have solar panels above our facility, we divert 98% of our waste from the landfill, and we give a portion of all of our sales to non-profit organizations.

Every year, we try to do to even more for our environment and community than the year before. A key contributor to our continued success in this realm is our Sustainability Coordinator, Javi. For the past few years, our entire staff has kept track of the number of miles we’ve flown, whether that is to attend a show on behalf of Motherlove, or vacation. At the end of the year, our Sustainability Coordinator totals the miles and makes a contribution to a local non-profit, Trees, Water, & People, to offset our carbon footprint as a result of flying.

This past year, we did even more to offset our carbon footprint. From May of 2016 to July of 2017, we measured exactly how much carbon dioxide (CO2) our body care line (such as Nipple Cream and Diaper Balm) produced. In total, over the course of about 15 months, our body care line polluted 75 Metric Tons of CO2. To put this in perspective, that is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 183,824 miles driven by an average passenger vehicle or CO2 emissions from 8,439 gallons of gasoline consumed.

Motorhome Battery Upgrade

Photo of motorhome batteries to illustrate battery upgrade article

Lifeline offers AGM models for house- and starting-power needs

Although it is unpopular, battery maintenance is a necessary part of motorhome ownership and something that is required to keep a motorhome and its systems functioning correctly. After all, monitoring motorhome batteries and ensuring they are adequately charged and filled with distilled water is not a task that most owners enjoy.
In the past, most motorhomes came from the factory with 12-volt starting batteries (usually one or two) that are typically gel or sealed flooded lead-acid (FLA) batteries. For the house batteries, banks were usually comprised of two, four, six or even eight 6-volt FLA batteries.

Following are examples of common wiring methods to get the most out of your motorhome’s battery systems.

Illustration of batteries wired in parallelTo increase capacity but not voltage, connect the positive terminal from one battery to the positive terminal of another battery, and the negative terminal to the negative terminal.

Batteries Two 12-volt/80 amp-hours
Total Voltage 12 volts
Total Capacity 160 amp-hours

Illustration of batteries wired in seriesTo increase voltage but not capacity, connect the positive terminal from one battery to the negative terminal of another battery.

Batteries Two 6-volt/200 amp-hours
Total Voltage 12 volts
Total Capacity 200 amp-hours

Illustration of batteries wired in series-parallelTo increase voltage and capacity, connect two batteries in series and two batteries in parallel.

Batteries Four 6-volt/200 amp-hours
Total Voltage 12 volts
Total Capacity 400 amp-hours

Keep in Mind

Parallel combines amps, not voltage.

Series combines voltage, not amps.
Series/parallel combines voltage and amps.

There are many reasons for the widespread use of 6-volt FLA batteries in motorhomes. They have a low initial cost (because of their use in golf carts), they allow for a long life in deep-cycle applications, they tolerate high-discharge applications well, and they can be maintained inexpensively by the addition of distilled water.

But, the drawbacks of FLA batteries are numerous as well. The first issue is the constant need for “watering,” which is checking and refilling of the cells with distilled water. These 6-volt FLA batteries are also prone to corrosion in the battery bay; they require an upright mounting position in a vented cabinet and they self-discharge at a high rate, which means they must be conditioned properly. For example, an FLA battery can discharge 5-10% a month as opposed to absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries’ low rate of 1-3% a month. Other problems with lead-acid batteries include safety because of the potential exposure to battery acid when refilling. FLAs are also subject to acid leaking when overcharged and must be isolated from electrical equipment due to flammability concerns from off-gassing.

A recent trend has been to replace both the house and starting batteries with AGM batteries, which eliminates the arduous task of maintaining the old-style FLA 6-volt batteries. AGM cells utilize a fiberglass mat or pad that absorbs the electrolyte, which means there is no chance of spilling, which allows for placement in odd positions (basically anything but upside down). Another big advantage of AGM batteries is the lack of corrosion — and they are much less prone to sulfation. Plus, they can be charged more quickly due to their lower internal resistance. While 6-volt FLA batteries are easily frozen if left uncharged, AGM batteries are not prone to this common problem, and they are much more vibration-resistant. AGM batteries perform best when only allowed to discharge down to about 50% of their capacity, which is about 12 volts, so those who boondock need to make sure they keep that in mind when setting up the inverter or autostart generator, and an adequate charging system.

After careful consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of various battery types, we decided that life without battery watering would be very appealing, so we started shopping for new 12-volt AGM starting batteries and 6-volt deep-cycle AGM batteries for the house. There are several brands of AGMs on the market, but after some research and discussions with the experts, we turned to Lifeline.

Lifeline batteries are well-reviewed and a market leader among RV owners, and they are also used extensively by the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, as well as the FBI, CIA and the U.S. Border Patrol. Another important part of our decision is that Tiffin (the manufacturer of the Phaeton motorhome we used for this install) even offers Lifeline AGM batteries as an upgrade direct from the factory. If they meet the stringent requirements of an OEM, that means they must work well.

Lifeline AGM batteries have several interesting features. First, they all have lifting handles. If you have ever installed batteries in a motorhome, you know that moving them in and out can be a difficult task. With built-in rope handles, this task is much easier. The next thing we noted is their universal battery terminals. Not only are the terminals lead-free, they are made of a highly conductive copper alloy, and they include all the bolts and washers (also copper alloy) needed for connecting cables. These copper-alloy terminals and fasteners are corrosion-resistant and offer low electrical resistance for maximum conductivity. Lifeline also uses much thicker grids than most AGM manufacturers (1.0 inch versus .050 inch) for longer life, and they use a thick and strong battery case to ensure it stays straight and supports the panels inside the battery.

AGM batteries require a slightly different charging profile compared to most 6-volt FLA batteries, but nearly all modern inverters (and many converters in motorhomes without an inverter) installed on motorhomes have a setting to properly charge them so that shouldn’t be a problem for most owners. The 12-volt AGM starting batteries are usually charged by a 120-volt AC trickle charger when in storage, so even if yours is not currently compatible, they are inexpensive and easily changed, if needed. The Tiffin Phaeton 36QSH used for this upfit was already converted to an AMP-L-START charger several years ago, and it is fully compatible with AGM batteries.

The Phaeton had two Group 31 starting batteries, so we selected the Lifeline GPL-3100T (average online price: $361.20 each) for replacement. It offers 950 cold cranking amps (when tested to IAW battery council standards) at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and like all Lifeline batteries, is built to aircraft standards. Not only is this battery made in the USA, it also offers an impressive five-year warranty, and since it has the same footprint as the previous batteries in the Phaeton, it was a perfect fit.

For the house batteries, four Lifeline GPL-4CT batteries (average online price: $358.75 each) were installed. The GPL-4CT is a deep-cycle AGM battery offering 220 amp-hours (AH) at 20HR rate, so with four of them wired in series/parallel a 440AH capacity is achieved with all the advantages of an AGM battery.

While the installation is not difficult, keep in mind that these batteries are heavy and lifting them out and installing new ones is a challenge if working solo. Also, there are several safety precautions to be aware of before starting the installation. Since you will be potentially working with battery acid, safety goggles and nitrile-coated work gloves should be worn.

Another caution revolves around the proper choice of tools. Using short wrenches prevents them from touching two different terminals and creating a short. Another option is to use electrical tape around the unused end of the wrench. Since a battery can’t be turned off, not much can be done to render the terminals safe, but there are precautions to help prevent shorting any terminals. When performing this work, it is best not to wear any jewelry, including metal rings or necklaces that could come in contact with the battery terminals. Also, make sure your sleeves do not have any metal zippers or snaps that are conductive.

Before working in the battery bay, make sure to disconnect the coach from any source of external power. This means unplugging from shorepower, turning off the generator and making sure it is not in auto-start mode, turning off the disconnect switches between the batteries and the coach and turning off the inverter. Solar panels must be disconnected from the batteries, using the provided switch in the system. Even if your solar panels do not have a disconnect switch, they will have an in-line fuse that can be removed.
The tools required for this project include basic wrenches/sockets to remove the batteries and the brackets that hold them in place as well as a cordless drill. You will also need sandpaper and paint to remove any existing corrosion from the metal brackets attached to the batteries. A wire brush can be used clean the terminals before installing them on the new batteries. Another handy item is a voltmeter. It’s also best to have a notebook and pen handy to sketch the current wiring of the motorhome’s batteries, or shoot a cellphone photo; doing this will make installation with the correct wiring a breeze. Following is a step-by-step look at installing new AGM batteries:

  1. Don,
    I enjoyed your article on the Lifeline batteries. One of your comparisons with grid thickness states the grid is 1″ thick for the Lifeline battery. I believe it should be 0.1″.

  2. Very nice article on batteries. I live in my coach full time and am currently having issues with my breakers tripping. I do however have a mechanic that is assisting me. Thanks again

  3. I will wait for GOOD lithium type batteries that are affordable. My FLAs last about 13 years! Not a full timer. Trickle charged by a large solar panel.

  4. We replaced the FLAs with AGMs from FullRiver. Same ISO application standards as Lifeline at a significant price savings. Our battery compartment was big enough to up size to L-16 which effectively doubled our storage capacity with the samr footprint.

  5. Another way to avoid shorting issues when working on batteries is to use sockets and a driver with a composite handle. I was able to find them in multiple sizes at Harbor Freight.

  6. My 2016 Thor Windsport came with two 12 V house batteries connected in parallel. Is this correct or should my motor home have had four 6 V house batteries connected in series/parallel to give it more amp hours to run on??? Also would I accomplish enough amp hours to run the motor home on by adding an additional 12 V battery to the two that I already have installed? (if another 12 V will fit)

Celebrity Drive: Romi Klinger, Reality TV Star

Showtime Starlet Loves Her Kia

K.S. Wangwriter

Quick Stats: Romi Klinger star of "The Real L Word"
Daily Driver: 2010 Kia Rio (Romi's rating: 8 on a scale of 1 to 10)
Favorite road trip: Los Angeles to Las Vegas
Car she learned to drive in: 2000 VW Jetta
First car bought: Honda

Romi Klinger, one of the stars of the hit Showtime show "The Real World," seem to be always on the go and usually, the jewelry designer and makeup artist is going in her 2010 Kia Rio.

"The car is all over the show because I keep driving all over the damn town. I think half the show, I'm just in the car, with one leg up, yelling at somebody on the phone," Klinger says with a laugh. "The little Kia has more air time than some parts of my body."

She gives it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 because it's great on gas. "It's just an easy little car. It's got a lot of space, it drives well, it's just simple and really easy. I love it. Only thing she doesn't like about it? "It's not like an Audi or BMW. I'm not going to lie to myself," she says. "I chose it because it was simple and it would get me from a to b. I travel a ton. When I'm home, it just gets me around."

Klinger loves to road trip to Las Vegas in the Kia with her best friends Rose Garcia and Dru Rooks.

"We take little Kia road trips to Vegas and it's the best time ever," she says. "Minivans pass us up on the road, but that little engine that could got us to Vegas. We call it the 'brave little toaster.' It's like a little white toaster, we wind it up for the road trips."

Both friends are on the show with Klinger. "They're in the car because I drive them all around when they're all drunk at night in the little Kia. Rose and Drew, they're my only friends," she says.

The three try drive to Vegas once a month. "We've got a friend that throws some parties out there at the Marquee, so we hop in the Kia and we take off," she says. "We take a plane everywhere, like I'm in Atlanta right now. We fly all over the world for parties and appearances for work, me and Rose, so when we get a chance to be home and just drive to Vegas, it's our little girl road trip time to bond."

Car she learned to drive in
Klinger was born and raised in Los Angeles, where she learned to drive in a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. "It's got the same type of body as the Kia," she says. "I loved the Jetta, I liked the way it looked. It was a fun car, everyone had them in high school. I loved the way it drove. It was just simple, it was perfect. I think that's probably why I chose the Kia. It reminded me of my first car, it had that cute little body and I loved my Jetta growing up."

Klinger's parents bought it for her as a high school graduation gift. "I didn't drive at 16 because I was drinking too much and my parents said when I started getting good grades then I could get a nice car," she says. "My parents made me calm down before they bought me a car."

First car bought
The first car Klinger bought was a green Honda, which she thinks was a Civic.
"It was years ago and then I didn't have a car for a while because I sold it when I went to San Francisco," she says. "It was perfect, it was in perfect condition. It was a great little car, really good with gas and drove great."

"The Real L Word" on Showtime
Showtime promises a hot summer with Season 3 of "The Real L Word," which, predictably, is the reality version of "The L Word." The new season began on July 12 and ,unlike the first two Los Angeles-based seasons, is set in New York and features new cast members. The show continues to explore the lives of lesbian ladies, this time with an East Coast perspective.

As for Klinger, she is busier than ever. She has her jewelry line Casa Por Vida and her blog Tenderromi.com. "I'm just a creative person, so however I can get it out there, I try and do. Life is short, you know?" she says. She also has a pet line called Casa Paw Vida coming soon and is recording an album with Dusty Ray, which will be seen on the show.

"This season's is going to be full of drama, it's going to be an interesting season. I think people are really going to enjoy the stories and it's got a new cast, it's bi-coastal, it's bi-everything," she laughs.

When she is not on the show, Klinger flies all over the world. "Rose, my friend on the show, we just go to all these parties and we host them," she says. "We were at Gay Days in Orlando. The ladies like us. There's parties all over the world and we come and host them."

In Los Angeles, she and Garcia throw parties called "Fantasy Fridays" at the Robertson Nightclub in West Hollywood, which fans will see this season on the show as well.

Jennifer Lawrence Looks Scared In The “House At The End Of The Street” Poster

A while back we brought you the trailer for Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming thriller House At The End Of The Street, and now we can show you the final poster for the promising horror flick.

Not bad, right? Simple, yet effective.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar-nominee Elisabeth Shue; Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) and her daughter Elissa (Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence; The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared – leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot, My Soul to Take), as the sole survivor.  Against Sarah’s wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan – and the closer they get, the deeper they’re all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.

House At The End Of The Street hits theaters on September 21st, 2012.

Off to Hell We Go : The Devil’s Carnival

Last Sunday, April 29th, The Devil’s Carnival rode into Foxborough, MA. If you had arrived at the theater half an hour before the show, you would’ve seen hordes of Sinners, Carnies, and Ringmasters lined up to get inside. Some were casual while others dressed in full carnival attire, gearing up for the costume contest later that evening. What else awaits at the gates of the carnival? Well it’s off to Hell we go as I tell you the tales of the night!

“Grace for Sale” Firstly, the date and location of the performance seemed to be somewhat perfect. It was on a Sunday, in a theater next to a church. When I bought my ticket, the fact that it was going to be on a Sunday wasn’t lost on me. But since I’ve never been to Foxborough, I had no idea it would be near a church. I can’t express how that made me feel, but it definitely added to ambience of the night.

“Let Me Tell You a Tale for a Penny” Having never been to an event such as this (not even for Repo! The Genetic Opera), I wasn’t sure what to expect. Keep track of The Devil’s Carnival all you want on their Facebook, Twitter, App, and fan pages (which you should). But nothing will prepare you for the events of the night. After witnessing tonight’s showing, I can say that each ‘Carnival’ night is definitely different.

From one ‘Carnival’ to another, this much, I can tell you, is the same: A performance of intrigue and danger, a costume contest, results of the Sing for the Devil’ contest, the film, and a Q & A afterwards. Fans of Repo! The Genetic Opera are not forgotten! Prior to the film, there is a short, a behind the scenes footage of Repo! that you won’t want to miss!

“Come One, Come Two, Come All, Devil’s Carnival!” Audiences fall headfirst into the movie as the main characters are thrust into the hell known as ‘The Devil’s Carnival.’ The film revolves around three people (Briana Evigan, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Jessica Lowndes). Each person is taken on a path through ‘The Devil’s Carnival’ that leads to a tale from Aesop’s Fables, as interpreted by Lucifer (Terrance Zdunich).

Darren and Terrance have done it again! They’ve taken a film and shown audiences its reflection. Each fable told reveals more than any back-story ever could. We see the sinners for who they truly are as they face their own downfalls, their sins, and in the most entertaining way. Performances were seamless from scene to musical scene and done so well. I’m glad all most movie experiences aren’t like this! Shadows, carnies, and props were everywhere and all around. You never can tell what will come out and face you at ‘The Devil’s Carnival’! It’s a once in a lifetime event you won’t want to miss!

“Heaven’s All Around” Ringmasters, Carnies, and Sinners were graced with a divine scene tonight during the Q & A. From the audience emerged a fellow fan that found himself invited on stage. Upon regaling us of his tale of love and passion (a Repo! tattoo and a baby named Shilo), he invited his girlfriend on stage and proposed! The theater filled with ‘aww’s, screams, and applause as she gladly accepted!

“Kiss the Girls” Though that was a tough question to follow, a few more were up to the challenge. A woman sitting in my very row up on the mezzanine asked Terrance for a hug, and he said yes! She ran down the stairs to the stage, hugged him, and quickly retreated back to her seat. His hug had the potential to spread like an infectious disease as another audience member asked to hug the woman as she returned to her seat.

As if things couldn’t get wilder, another brave soul asked a question that none dared to speak aloud. Down near the front row, a woman asked our dear Lucifer for a kiss! He bashfully agreed. It was a full house of screams and ‘woo’s as she ran on stage for a kiss with the dark prince.

It just goes to show, you never can tell what will happen at a performance of The Devil’s Carnival!

Plenty more questions were asked and answered, but what kind of Carnie would I be if I divulged all their secrets? Find a show near you to ask questions or hear some answers yourself!

“Get Your Tickets. Form a Line” The Q&A is done, but the night is far from over. After all is said and done, Darren, Terrance, and other celebrity guests that may attend sit up on stage to sign autographs. Afraid they won’t get to you? Don’t be! They will stay and sign autographs until everyone in line has one!

“Get ready for war.”

This was just the beginning. Episode 2 could be on its way, BUT FIRST…

“I’ll Continue My Rhyme for a Dime” Merchandise! At every show there is merchandise sold! They have tour t-shirts, signed CD’s, tour posters, character posters, and more! Can’t make the show, but want something from the carnival? No worries! Visit the Online Store. Money made from the show and/or merchandise could help fund episode 2 of The Devil’s Carnival!
Ringmasters, Carnies, and Sinners keep coming! Tickets are still on sale at Eventbrite. Look out for a location near you!

SINNERS – $20.00 (gets you a ticket to the show)

CARNIES – $30.00 (ticket to the show, and a pre-signed poster)

RINGMASTERS – $40.00 (VIP Experience: ticket to the show, pre-signed poster, and meet and greet)

Structured Cabling – When it goes wrong

Structured cabling in any construction or renovation project is paramount in this day and age.  There is much to consider in the design and implementation of a structured cable network.

A recent report in BBC News shows just how costly and time consuming it can be when the planning goes wrong.  Berlin Brandenburg airport was due to be opened with much fan fare in 2012. However, reported to have approximately half a million faults, the airport is still not open.  It is in fact now expected to be opened in October 2020 which is a full 8 years beyond its expected date.  Faults in the construction project range from issues such as incorrect light bulbs, fire doors and systems not working, to the most notable fault within the project – the structured cabling.  This has been described as “the worlds worst tangle of badly installed cabling”.

Since the failed opening of the airport a huge amount of work has needed to be carried out – including replacing hundred of kilometres of new cables. This is extremely costly and time consuming, the estimated cost of the project is up to at least €6bn from its initial projection of €2bn.  Many have argued it would have been cheaper and quicker to abandon the project and start from the beginning.

Here at MPR Technical Services we understand that at the start of any project a detailed consultation meeting is vital to discuss the requirements and how the space is expected to be used.  This is followed by regular meetings to discuss any changes that might be needed, whether this is the clients decision or a decision that our highly experienced and qualified engineers believe is needed.

By involving MPR Technical Services from day one of your project you can be assured that the design and installation of the network will serve the purpose it is intended for.  Working with clients such as Fortnum & Mason as their preferred cable installation supplier and more recently with UFC Gyms UK on the first gym of its type to be opened in the UK, MPR Technical Services will ensure that your project is built from the network up to be fit for its purpose.

GTE Wants FCC to Speed ADSL Service Nationally

GTE Corp., moving sooner than expected toward announcing
its wide-scale rollout of ADSL technology, is pursuing a new, federal regulatory strategy
aimed at speeding up access for its high-speed-data service faster than the locally based
telco initiatives seen so far.

The company said last week that it would introduce
asymmetrical-digital-subscriber-line services from approximately 300 central offices
across some 34 market clusters in 16 states by year's end, with several markets
getting under way as early as June.

"This is the largest application of ADSL technology in
the nation," said John Appel, president of GTE Network Services, the company's
local-exchange-carrier operating unit.

Rather than applying for individual tariffs at the various
state regulatory agencies, GTE said it will submit a blanket-tariff proposal at the
Federal Communications Commission later this month that would give it authorization to
provide services in all of the targeted markets without further action at the state level.

"The rationale for filing under federal jurisdiction
is that our implementation of ADSL supports interstate service," said Jeff Bolton,
senior product manager for advanced switched services.

GTE said its June launches will include, but not be limited
to, markets where it has been testing the service.

The markets include: in and around Kirkland and Redmond,
Wash.; Durham, N.C.; Beaverton, Ore.; Irving, Texas; Lexington, Ky.; Fort Wayne, Ind.;
Bloomington, Ill.; Tampa and Sarasota, Fla.; Hilo, Hawaii; and much of GTE's Southern
California base. Markets in Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin
will launch from July through October, the company said.

GTE, like other telcos announcing rollouts this year, will
offer several speeds, starting with a 256-kilobit-per-second downstream/64-kbps return
rate and ranging up to 1.5 megabits per second/768 kbps. "Target monthly prices"
will range from $30 to $120, plus a $250 cost for multiple users on a local-area network
connected to a high-speed DSL line.

Those rates don't include installation, modem costs,
Internet access and other services, officials said.

GTE Network Services will market ADSL directly to
customers, but it will also encourage participation by Internet-service providers,
including its own Internetworking Services unit. The company will offer volume discounts
both for local end-to-end connections and for local-access links that are interconnected
via long-haul data routes to other local ADSL-access links that might not be in GTE
territories, officials said.

For example, company spokesman Bill Kula said, the 256-kbps
access cost -- $40 per month for an individual user -- would be discounted to $30 for a
three-year volume purchase involving 1,500 lines or more, and the $80-per-month rate for a
symmetrical 768-kbps service would be discounted to $60 for a similar volume purchase.

"We're very confident that our tariff plan will
be approved on submission at the FCC," Kula said, noting that the company has had
"very good" discussions with the commission about the proposal. He added that
GTE has informed state agencies of the plan, as well, and it expects approval at the
federal level to take only 15 to 20 days, versus 90 days or more at the state level.

The GTE tariff filing contrasts markedly with other
telcos' approaches, which have been tied to state processes, often going through
extensive market-trial phases before tariffs are officially submitted. For example, SBC
Communications Inc. subsidiary Pacific Bell has been offering ADSL services commercially
on a market-trial basis in the San Francisco Bay area since November, but it doesn't
plan to file a tariff until sometime this summer.

U S West Inc., which has promised to have 256 central
offices in 40 markets equipped to deliver ADSL services by June, has taken a
state-by-state approach, as well, although without the intervening trial phase for each of
those markets. But the carrier encountered a snag in Washington state two weeks ago, when
the Utilities and Transportation Commission expressed concern that its strategy might
favor its own ISP unit, U S West Interprises, over other ISPs. The agency deferred a
decision on the ADSL tariff until this week, pending clarifications from the carrier.

"We're proactively seeking relationships with
other ISPs," Kula said, noting that discussions with several firms are under way,
although no deals have been struck yet.

"We don't know what the pricing strategies of
these entities will be, but you could see radically different pricing among them,
depending on the types of markets that they serve and the value-added components," he

GTE will initially focus on delivery of service connections
to businesses, schools and other institutions, moving to marketing to residential
customers later in the year, Appel said. He estimated that ADSL could be made available
over 65 percent to 70 percent of all GTE lines nationwide.

Kula said the percentages would be much higher in many
areas, including those targeted for initial deployment, although he declined to estimate
what the coverage would average out to in the initial rollouts.

"This average [given by Appel] includes all of our
service territories in 28 states, including some markets that are quite rural," Kula
said. Less-populated areas include disproportionately long loop lengths that go beyond the
service limits of ADSL, which typically runs to about two miles, he noted.

GTE is also looking at what is known as "IDSL,"
which is a 128-kbps technology that uses the modulation technique employed in ISDN
(integrated services digital network) to support delivery of higher-speed access over much
longer distances.

"This isn't part of the '98 plan, but
we're considering it," Kula said.

IDSL is seen by many telcos as a fallback service that can
be offered to customers whose lines don't qualify for full ADSL.

GTE's suppliers for the 1998 ADSL rollouts are Fujitsu
Network Communications and its DSL-technology partner, Orckit Communications Ltd. The
system, based on the DMT (discrete-multitone) modulation standard, will require on-site
installations, with one-time installation fees pegged at $60 to $140, depending on whether
the end-user already has a separate inside-wire connection to the personal computer in

Appel said GTE anticipates eventually moving to the
"splitterless" version of ADSL being developed through the Universal ADSL
Working Group, which will support plug-and- play uses of the technology without requiring
installation of a second on-premises wire.

Telcos hope to be able to move to this
"ADSL.Lite" system when it becomes available sometime next year by simply adding
line cards to the ADSL systems that they're deploying this year, but whether that can
be done depends on how the standard evolves, said George Chase, executive vice president
of sales and marketing for Fujitsu.

GTE expects to fulfill ADSL-installation orders within
seven days of receiving them, Appel said. It will charge $12 per month for modems, or
offer them for purchase at "about $300," he added.

State and activities of the church orders and congregations in Moravia 1790-1918

history, 19th Century, church orders, congregations, monasteries

The issue of clerical orders, monasteries and monastic life in terms of general and church history ranks among the issues that are often elaborated nowadays. However, most scholars focus their attention on the most prosperous period of the monastic institutions during th Middle Ages or Baroque period. Many of these works also give privilege to Czech area. The goal of submitted project is to draw up a picture of monastic life in Moravia during th "long" 19th century. The pivotal parts of the thesis will be devoted to the status of monastic institutions after the Joseph´s reforms, subsequent revival of monastic life and its blossom in the second half of the 19th century, including the genesis of new institutions, the role of regulars in the field of science, education and culture within the period of the National Revival and formation of modern Czech society. With regards to the situation in existing literature the study of primary sources will have a dominant significance. Apart from the collections in convents´ archives of individual monitored orders and congregations, the following sources will be used in particular: the Moravian Land Archive - the Brno Bishop Ordination Fund, the Brno Bishop Consistory Fund, the Moravian Vice-regency Fund - clerical department, the Moravian Vice-regency Fund - general, the Moravian Vice-regency Fund - presidium, the Land Archive in Opava - the Olomouc Archbishop´s Consistory Fund, the Olomouc Archbishopric Fund. The anticipated output will be, apart from partial studies in professional journals and proceedings, a monograph outlining digestedly and within a more general historical framework and consequences the situation, activity, specifications and personalities of monastic institutions (orders and congregations) acting, or newly established or restored in Moravia in the 19th century.

The goal of the project was to deliver a critical picture of the situation of monastic institutions and their activities in Moravia during the "long" 19th century. The starting point was a description of the impact of the Joseph’s reforms on the monastic life in the Moravian region (including the issue of a crisis in the orders that were not abolished). The particular and main results of the project are concentrated on the development changes of monastic life, there is also an illustration of activity, outstanding personalities and spirituality of the most famous church orders and congregations. A special area was paid to the architecture and inside decoration of the monasteries. The fulfilment of the project is also included in appreciation of the monks activities in the field of science, education and culture as well as medical and social area of the montioned period.

A Day Of Music Festival – Glasgow – October 2019

Glasgow is about to get a heavy dose of music crammed into two of its favourite city centre venues this October with The Day of Music Festival announcement hitting social media last week. This was closely followed by the first line-up which includes local bands Megalomanic and Banshee alongside headlining alt-rockers Mallory Knox.

The festival is to be held across Nice N Sleazy and next door neighbours Broadcast, which means there won’t be much in the way of travel to go between venues if there is a clash in set times for revellers looking to get in on the action. Both Sleazy’s and Broadcast are considered the breeding grounds for up and coming bands as well being an intimate selection for secret and low-key gigs put on by brand-name bands over the years.

Here’s what the organisers have to say about the surprise festival;

“A Day Of Music Festival brings you something slightly different to Glasgow’s favourite street. Local live music promoters HD Music and Ola Tortuga have teamed up to deliver a new festival to Sauchiehall Street venues Nice N Sleazy & Broadcast.”

“Born from a shared desire to bring bigger acts back to their roots in 2 of Glasgow’s most well known underground venues, the festival aims to bring a host of touring acts across multiple genres on the 2 stages.”

“We’re pleased to share our first line up announcement: Mallory Knox (Headliner), Colossal Squid, Megalomatic, Banshee & Canal Capitale. More to come soon!”

So, keep an eye out for further lineup announcements on the usual socials; @adayoffestival

Babies Music Classes

At what age should I start a class with my baby? Right now! Babies learn music the same way they learn language; by being immersed in it and being surrounded by models. Just as it is never too early to start speaking with your baby, it's never too early to start singing to and dancing with your bab

Maybe you’ve noticed that your baby responds when you play a song in the car or sing to soothe him. Babies are naturally musical—and you don’t have to be a great singer or dancer yourself to nurture their love of music. In your music class, your Music Together® teacher will show you how you can support your baby’s music development through simple and fun activities. You’ll learn lots of musical ways to connect with your little one through music, and you’ll bond with the other new parents in your class, too.

“My daughter was a colicky baby who was difficult to soothe. Although she was held, rocked, crooned, and sung to constantly, nothing seemed to help . . . until the 'Hello Song' entered our lives. The 'Hello Song' could immediately stop crying spells, even if just for a short time, and other songs from the Tambourine collection had a similar effect! We were immediately hooked!” —Nicole Y.

Join us for class with your baby and set him/her on a path to a lifetime of music enjoyment---and start building friendships with other parents in your neighborhood.

All Babies Under 4 months FREE!

At Music Together Beyond the Hub, we realize that new moms need to get out and get connected so that's why we offer this special option for babies under 4 months in any of our classes that have availability. You are welcome to join us as often as you like, for free (up until 16 weeks). Just use the "Free trial" option and put "Infant under four months" in the comments. And if something comes up, it's OK. We understand how unpredictable babies can be! Please select the class that works best for your babies schedule. If, however, you already know that you want to attend for the full session, and receive the home materials from the beginning (CD, Illustrated Songbook and Download Codes) please contact Vicki so we can pro-rate your tution. You can also register (at a pro-rated amount) after your baby hits four months, and receive your materials at that time. There is no commitment or pressure on you to enroll at any time. We're happy to share our fabulous program for as long as you're able to make it! You are also welcome to just try out a free class at any time.
