Close.

Looks like I may have to start giving you some credit after all.

Of course, some of that stuff, like defense and some social
protections, are necessary, so we just lump the inefficiency. The main
function of defense is to be so good that you never have to use it, so
it's paradoxically a bargain when it's 0% efficient.

But taxing people for, say, public works or education money, and
pouring it Washington, and then doling it back out to the states, is a
formula for waste. The closer the coupling of expenditures to the
people paying for things, the more they will care about value.

A couple of years ago, I told you that Europe was igniting a
demographic and economic time bomb, and you said I was ignorant to
make such a claim.

http://www.france24.com/en/20120928-french-government-unveils-tax-sla...

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_EUROPE_ECONOMY?SITE=AP&SECT....

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/28/spain-cultural-fabric-tea...

I don't see any reference to any demographic time-bomb in any of those
reports. The Muslims may still be breeding faster than the Christians
(there are still some around), but that doesn't seem to credited with
creating any of the problem reports you've managed to cobbled
together.

You were ignorant when you made your original false prediction, and
only an ignorant idiot could think that the symptoms adduced could
have anything to do with the original demented prophecies.

Of course, you'll find a way to blame the US. You always do.

The dumber and more irresponsible elements of your banking system did
managed to engineer a US house price bubble a few years ago. When that
bubble burst, the international economy did take a knock from which it
has yet to fully recover.

James Arthur likes to claim that the Democrats did it, which doesn't
exactly absolve the US as a nation.

Is there a commercial shoe isolator that will provide the center
terminal only for connection? Or do I have to build one?

A well-stocked photo store should have one. The shoe and central terminal
connect to a short lead with a PC connector. (I bought one a few years ago.)

I'd recommend covering the bottom of the shoe with two or three layers of
Magic Mending Tape, then cutting out the area over the central terminal. The
tape keeps the extra pins from contacting anything.

Afraid of the glue goo.
Maybe some thin polycarbonate.

I'll look for that shoe, I think I actuall hd one at one time so it is
probably in the camera cabinet.
But my flash does not have the standard PC connector I think.
It is a unique Nikon connector.
I have a cable for it but I hate to cut it up to use it.

Thanks for the input.

Be sure that the voltage at the trigger contacts is 5 volts or less
(as measured from the center pin to common). Canon cameras can only
handle a trigger voltage of 5V, or less. Use a Hi-Z meter as the high
voltage triggers have a many megohm resistor in series with the
trigger terminal. Or, see
http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html for trigger volages.

You can buy trigger cables for $15 and cut out the evil control wires.
Better yet, sick some Ethernet keystone connectors on the trigger
cable and you can extend the cable with a simple Ethernet cable.

If you go with radio triggers, either get good ones like Pocket
Wizards (many hundreds of dollars) or on the cheap side the Calumet
triggers get good reviews.
http://www.calumetphoto.com/eng/product/calumet_pro_series_2_4ghz_4_channel_wireless_trigger_kit_optimized_for_canon_flash_systems/cf0090
They are 2x the price of Cactus, and similar really bad Chinese
triggers. These Calumet Chinese triggers are more reliable.

Once again you're dumber than dumb ignorant. Didya know quite a lot of fracking came to a grinding halt during this year's drought?

made gas so cheap. See today's New York Times. A lot of the fracking
rigs are being moved over to oil.

waste of natural resource needed for more essential agricultural
production.

http://www.pacinst.org/reports/fracking/

Silly left coast loonies. The pollution is tiny compared to mining and
burning coal. And, once a well is in, the land area used is tiny too.

What's *really* wasting farmland and water is turning corn - food! -
into ethanol. It's hurting - killing - a lot of people, too, by
driving up the worldwide cost of food. That criminal abomination is by
government decree and government subsidy.

Looks like a better track record than most venture capitalists. I

Rick



You understand wrong. Where I live, I know of 2 venture captalist groups

that aren't happy unless they have a 5 out of 10 positive ROI. 1 in 10

wouldn't fly for long with my groups. They really do their homework before

parting with the money. Obam-bam has a lot of friends needing capital;

unfortunately they are

poor businessmen or outright thieves. He really needs to pick his buds with

a little more care. After all, it is OUR money. Does anyone really know

where the money went at Solyndra? I for one would like to know how MY money

was pissed away.

Tom

Are you so ignorant you think DoE was the main investor:

"Major investors included George Kaiser Family Foundation, U.S. Venture Partners, CMEA Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Virgin Green Fund, Madrone Capital Partners, RockPort Capital Partners, Argonaut Private Equity, Masdar and Artis Capital Management.

In 2009, the company posted $100 million in revenue. It was estimated that its production and sales growth could lead to a market cap between $1.76 - 2 billion. In 2010, revenues were approximately $140 million."

It looks like quite few very successful concerns with pronounced investment savvy, the best that money can buy actually, were also hit by the unpredictable decline in cost of conventional solar cell technology. But just forget about all that, believe whatever makes your pathetic ignorant racist mindset feel good.

That is a bunch of bull and you know. Underground aquifers and their feeds by surface and subsurface cracks are un-mappable!

Fracking happens deep. I don't think any aquifers have been polluted.

The pollution issue is known to be there and is impossible to predict beforehand. They use more than water for fracking. Fracking has also been implicated in earhtquakes.


Like, mag 3 quakes. You can barely feel a mag 3.

But hey, all energy is dangerous. Fracking natural gas seems safer
than a lot of others.

You have to keep mining coal. Once a gas well is in, the gas comes up
safely, quietly, continuously.

What's *really* wasting farmland and water is turning corn - food! -

into ethanol. It's hurting - killing - a lot of people, too, by

driving up the worldwide cost of food. That criminal abomination is by

government decree and government subsidy.

I already brought that issue up before when someone quoted that jackass engineer authored article by an Argonne lackey!




You seem to be getting crazier and crazier. Go for a walk or

something.

I only seem that way to a superficial mentality like yours. I know far more about the subject than you do. There are viable agricultural sources that can be used sustainably for energy production. ADF has a big government grant to hybridize hazelnut for oil production, the yield per acre is much higher and than oil is of much higher density, and these plantations can be established in regions that do not grow food staples.

Government grant? That proves viability? Hilarious.

American - so far





The real energy breakthrough has been fracking, privately developed,

privately funded. There is now a glut of natural gas in the USA, and

we will likely be a net oil exporter soon.

Once again you're dumber than dumb ignorant. Didya know quite a lot of fracking came to a grinding halt during this year's drought? Fracking is a major environmental pollutant as well as a massive waste of natural resource needed for more essential agricultural production.

If underground nukes didn't trigger earthquakes a few well placed drill

New drilling for fracking gas has almost stopped because fracking has

made gas so cheap. See today's New York Times. A lot of the fracking

rigs are being moved over to oil.

Silly left coast loonies. The pollution is tiny compared to mining and

burning coal. And, once a well is in, the land area used is tiny too.

That is a bunch of bull and you know. Underground aquifers and their feeds by surface and subsurface cracks are un-mappable! The pollution issue is known to be there and is impossible to predict beforehand. They use more than water for fracking. Fracking has also been implicated in earhtquakes.

Fracking happens deep. I don't think any aquifers have been polluted.

Maybe, but it's enough to damage foundations, roads, and nuclear power plants.

That's tells us absolutely nothing new about how Federal grant money is acquired. Both Republican and Democrat politicians were pushing for that company. So your post is just another lie.

You're missing the bigger point--once the federal government has the
power to confiscate people's money and speculate use it to speculate,
that's what happens. There's no avoiding it--that's what people
always do with a pot of other people's money: fight.

That's why the Founding dudes set up a federal gov't that's only
supposed to do certain listed things, not take our liberty, jobs, and
labor to blindly speculate in bogus tech companies.

Bad, bad logic.

When government collects taxes, and then spends close to 40% of GDP,

everyone has an incentive to go to Washington and try to get as much

of "their" money back as they can. It's just one big pot of money, so

any concept of efficiency is lost. Lobbying and corruption happen

because they work.

As Willie Sutton said about why he robbed banks, "because that's where

the money is."

Apparently your reading comprehension is gone too. Ripping off government is the American way.

President Obama calls it "getting your fair share."

Inherently, the bigger it gets, the more people are tempted.
Eventually, they'll have no choice. When the government takes so much
that you can barely get by, they own you. Own you. Obama's put
record numbers of people in that position. Ironic, isn't it?

These were government investments made to create jobs and stimulate the economy, they were not made to enrich cronies, unlike some of the Bush administration purchases. Care to explain just how A123 was bogus, what was the sham there?

This is happening because everyone is screaming for the government TO DO SOMETHING about the economy. Like or leave it, this is what the majority of people in this country want, and the majority rules.
