Repurposing a clam-shell chair as an outdoor swing. We used some reclaimed climbing rope in a very minimal way and created a perfect lounging area that’s easily taken down.

Edutainment sure is getting splattered all over the game industry these days. I am a fan and supporter of the idea, but I am about sick of hearing the term.

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," - Warren Buffett

rjdollen — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:59:47 -0600

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the   best quotes about the debt ceiling:


   ”I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just
   pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of
   more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are
   ineligible for re-election.

   The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18
   year-olds took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!
   Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 -
   before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

   Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took
   one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all
   because of public pressure.


   Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this
   email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list;
   in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days,
   most people in The United States of America will have the
   message. This is one idea that really should be passed
   around.

   _*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*_

   1. No Tenure / No Pension.

   A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and
   receives no pay when they’re out of office.

   2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in
   Social Security.

   All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
   Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow
   into the Social Security system, and Congress participates
   with the American people. It may not be used for any other
   purpose.

   3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just
   as all Americans do.

   4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
   Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

   5. Congress loses their current health care system and
   participates in the same health care system as the
   American people.

   6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on
   the American people.

   7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women
   are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not
   make this contract with Congressmen/women.
   Congressmen/women made all these contracts for
   themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a
   career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen
   legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then
   go home and back to work.

   If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it
   will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to
   receive the message. Don’t you think it’s time?

   THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

   If you agree with the above, pass it on.
