Some customers want to follow fashion; some customers would hate to be thought of as following fashion. Either way, the designer needs to know fashion.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be important at all.

The presence of one of the world’s pre-eminent environmentalists at Apple’s shareholder meeting Thursday was the subject of much of the morning’s pointed discussion.

As expected, Apple’s attitude on environmental and sustainability issues was one of the main concerns of the stockholders present Thursday, followed closely by the company’s immense pile of cash. But early harsh comments about former Vice President Al Gore’s record set the tone.

Gore was seated in the first row, along with his six fellow board members, in Apple’s Town Hall auditorium as several stockholders took turns either bashing or praising his high-profile views on climate change.

At the first opportunity for audience participation just several minutes into the proceeding, a longtime and well-known Apple shareholder–some would say gadfly–who introduced himself as Shelton Ehrlich, stood at the microphone and urged against Gore’s re-election to the board. Gore “has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted,” Sheldon said, referring to Gore’s views on global warming. “If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn’t need to be re-elected.”

Another shareholder immediately got up to defend Gore and endorse his presence as an Apple director. And that wasn’t the end of it. Two different proposals from shareholders were presented in regard to Apple’s environmental impact."

Gore is a scammer, deserving of all the ridicule he gets.

Please anything helps!!

The only thing I have is..
-tips on conversing water

Are you familiar with the declining water tables underneath the mid-west and san jauquin valley? (I really have no idea how to spell that, sorry) if not you might want to look up on those, there are some pretty scary facts. Also look at what amount of fresh water is frozen in the glaciers and how much of its melting into the ocean now. Hope I helped(=

With urban renewal, the government seized the tenement buildings and demolished them, then they replaced them with modern public housing projects, up to modern housing standards.

The low income families moved in, and the low income housing projects became high crime areas. And most of the crime was committed by the residents or their guests.

Is this the reality of what happens to the government promise of free public housing and free income on welfare for life?

Is this the real outcome of socialism in the USA?

That is exactly right. Not only is there major crimes but those newly constructed buildings now are in the same condition as the ones demolished. If you work for nothing own nothing you take care of nothing.

""The Feb. 15 front-page article "Missteps weigh on agenda for climate" was infuriating, a perfect example of why so many Americans still don’t believe in the coming crisis of global climate change. Read closely, your article was technically accurate, but the language and placement of information gave the impression that the overwhelming scientific consensus on global climate change might be in danger.""

~ So, he acknowledges that the article was perfectly accurate, but inveighs against it on the grounds that it questions the supposed orthodoxy! Is this a healthy attitude?

I was curious about who would write such a ehtically dubious letter, so I checked out David Hilfiker, esq., and found his ’spiritual’ website: www.davidhilfiker.com, where he writes "sermons" on the evils of capitalism, in one of which he says: [quote]

————————————————————
""As long as profit maximization, the sanctity of private property, and distribution solely by supply and demand remain the unexamined bases of our economic system, we will not be able to feed the hungry or prevent ecological destruction.

Among those who ardently hope and work for change, there is a different opinion. Many believe that without a fundamental re-orientation in power relationships no change will be possible. It is power, they say, that determines the course of society; until those who rule society are replaced, we cannot expect justice or sustainability

We do not have much time left before environmental catastrophe overtakes us. We won’t find environmental balance unless we deal with injustice. The current economic system cannot bring either justice or sustainability""
————————————————————

- in short, this is a call for revolution to bring about "sustainability". Yet again, you can see the real agenda start to emerge.

IS this letter to WP a good example of the sort of activists we are dealing with on global warming?

Global warming is a joke……but if you want to help Gore’s bank account you go right ahead……..

Am I over watering my plants? Or do they need more water?

You should water your eggplants weekly. Eggplants need an inch of water each week. Be mindful of the rainfall in your area and water accordingly.

Thanks for any help. It really needs to be G rated.

I just watched a movie in my 9th grade class about the water cycle about a week ago. Too bad im too darn lazy to ask my science teacher about it =]
