Small Housing:  A Solution to the Woes of the Economy?

 

     Jay Shafer designed the tiny house to the left.  It's called the Lusby, and is only 118 square feet.  It is one of a line of designs that range from 65 to 837 square feet. 

     Small but elegant, you can buy one for a tad under $50,000, or build it yourself for less than $22,000.  The workmanship is suberb.  The designer has been living in tiny housing for about twenty years. 

     You can't build one on your lot in Clearwater or many other places due to size restrictions in the local code.  But it uses a trailer for a foundation, making it a legal travel trailer.  According to local builder Bill Lazarony, a former merchant mariner, "It would be great for a guy.  The loft berth reminds me of my days at sea.  The multi-purpose built-ins are really cool - a table that seats four.  Shower.  Galley. Wow!"  There are problems inherent with the design, the local contractor noted.  "Most women I know would not go for this.  It's a guy thing.  Especially good for a guy with a girl who lives in a nearby apartment."  Click here for TUMBLEWEED TINY HOUSES to see Mr. Shafer's catalog and videos.

Adrian Barrera Joins the Sun as Latin Consultant

     Adrian Barrera has jointed the Clearwater Sun as a staff consultant for Latin American Affairs. Adrian says that the recent economic downturn has resulted in an exodus of his countrymen who are returning to Mexico to look for work.

     "The Mexican population here is mainly from Hidalgo and they have become an important part of the economy.  Since many of them are returning to Pachuca and the other major cities a large number of apartments have become available here.

Jackass Says Glasses With Cadmium Paint Safe for Use

McDonald's Recalls 12 Million Anyway

 

     $24 million worth of glasses were recalled by McDonalds.

McDonald's spokes-jackass Bill Whitman, shown right, made the announcement.

        "We believe the Shrek glassware is safe for consumer use."

        In warning people not to use the glasses, the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission published that:

        "Long term exposure to cadmium can cause adverse health effects.  Cadmium is a known carcinogen that research shows also can cause bone softening and severe kidney problems."

        Mr. Whitman stated the voluntary withdraw is made "out of an abundance of caution," in a BBC report. 

       "The problem with saying the glasses are safe," according to Col. Clearwater,  is that, "some people may read it and believe it to be true.  Profits and brand protection are put ahead of public protection.  In times of gushing ethical contamination, we don't need more declining corporate responsibility.  It's a case of spin pinwheeling out of control. Ignore that jackass and get a refund for your glass."

Sushi
By L D Sledge

Sushi made of little fishes.
Eat ‘em raw on little dishes.
How they make that funny rice,
stuck together neat and nice.
Wrap around that eel so tasty.
Eat it all so none is wasty.
OO wowie, that stuff is hot,
what you call it, wasabi what?
When it hit you, it start biting,
make you feel like kung fu fighting.
Little leaves of pinky ginger
send me off on fishy bender.
Wash it down with vase of saki.
Hit me like a puck of hockey!
Full of fishes, fried they not.
Rice and ginger, wasabi hot.
Can’t believe how much I ate.
Started early ended late.
Oh my God look at that bill!
Was it worth it for the thrill?
Help me get up from this chair.
Carry me out to cool night air.
I’ll be back tomorrow night.
I don’t care if wrong or right.
Little fishes every day,
make me troubles go away.

-From our Cape Kennedy New Bureau

      Space shuttle Atlantis and six astronauts ended a journey of more than 4.8 million miles with an 8:48 a.m. EDT landing Wednesday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flawless landing wrapped up a highly successful mission to deliver the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1, known as "Rassvet" ("dawn" in Russian), to the International Space Station.
      "It was smooth as silk," STS-132 Commander Ken Ham said of Atlantis' entry and landing. "We were clearly riding in the middle of a fireball, and it was spectacular. The windows, all of them, were bright, brilliant orange. One of the neatest things was when we flew right into orbital sunrise."
      This was the final scheduled flight for Atlantis, which has logged more than 120 million miles during its 25 years of service. The orbiter will go through standard prelaunch preparations as the "launch-on-need" vehicle for Endeavour's STS-134 mission. That flight currently is targeted for November.
      "Atlantis treated us very well. She was just an incredible ship," Mission Specialist Michael Good said, citing the precision of the deorbit burn as an example of Atlantis' performance. "The engines had it trimmed out to within .01 of what the burn was supposed to be."
      The all-veteran astronaut crew will head home to Houston on Thursday. The public is invited to attend the welcome ceremony for the crew Thursday at 4 p.m. CDT at Ellington Field's NASA Hangar 276.
      "We're thrilled, because we accomplished the mission that was put in front of us," Ham said. He explained that in addition to the technical objectives of the 12-day mission, the astronauts also wanted to enjoy themselves and share their enthusiasm of spaceflight with the world.
      "We've been hearing stories about how folks have been having fun and enjoyed watching us have fun, and that's really important to us."

President Obama Cancels Moon Program

             The NASA Constellation Program has been canceled.  The program's goal was to put men on the Moon by the year 2020.  The program was eliminated in the president's budget because it is "over budget, behind schedule, and lacking in innovation."

the gesture believed to be "It's not true." The offensive reaction occurred at a point in the speech when the president criticized the Supreme Court for allowing corporations, including foreign corporations, to sway American politics and elections.

DAREDEVIL TO VIE FOR NEW FREE-FALL RECORD

      Skydiver Felix Baumgartner aims to break the free-fall record set by Colonel Joe Kittinger in 1960 (before an American traveled into space.)  Mr. Baumgartner is known as a dare-devil for base jumping, parachute jumps from man-made heights, including the the Petronas Towers.  He is expected to break the sound barrier about a half a minute after leaving a high altitude balloon.  It is hoped that the research gleaned from the jump will have value in protecting astronauts in trouble, allowing them safe re-entry in the event of catastrophic space vehicle failure. The 120.000’+ jump will last more than five minutes.  
     The experienced jumper crossed the English channel in free-fall.   A carbon wing was attached to his back for the feat.  He will wear a pressurized suit and helmet while attempting to set the new free-fall record.    
     Problems are expected to include thin air and low temperatures.  Blacking out is possible when he breaks the sound barrier, but there is an automatic deployment system.
      Navigation to Earth should not be a problem, however, the jumper once did lose his balloon when it accidentally escaped prior to takeoff.  The project, which includes the words “Red Bull” in its name charges media for materials, an unusual practice if publicity for some sort of Red Bull product is sought.

Colonel Joe Kittinger is shown in his 1960's jump.  This jump record still stands as the highest parachute jump.  Colonel Kittinger is assisting Mr. Baumgartner, a former Austrian paratrooper, in preparation for the record attempt.

     Criminal trials await psychiatric staff responsible for the death of 26 patients who died of hypothermia related problems at the Psychiatric Hospital in Havana.  The deaths were "...linked to ...prolonged low temperatures ...and to risk factors peculiar to mentally ill patients... compounded by natural biological deterioration," according to a statement issued by the the Cuban government.  A report from the Cuban Commission on Human Rights cited the hospital for conditions including broken windows and other problems that failed to protect the hospital population from recent adverse weather conditions.  Cuba is renowned for an innovative healthcare system that provides free universal medical services to its citizens.
     Cuba is ranked number number 39 by The World Health Organization's Ranking of the World View Profile.  The United States is rated number 37.   Photography at the hospital was permitted three years ago when the image to the right was made by Historicus.  The photographer, whose work can be seen on Flicker observed at that time that "Havana's psychiatric hospital was really not...a typical madhouse with howlings, straitjackets, etc. but all patients worked...[to help] their "conditions".

     One of the 32 new exo-planets found by the European Southern Observatory telescope in Chile is ten times the mass of Jupiter. The smallest is five times the mass of Earth.  Scientists are excited because the find is proof that low mass planets could exist in greater numbers than previously believed.  Stephane Udry of the Geneva University was quoted by the BBC as saying the discovery shows that low mass planets are "everywhere."  The predictions show that there will be more lower mass planets similar to the density of Earth.

     The Indian space agency has been active in space exploration with a view to emigrating portions of the subcontinent's population off our planet to relieve overcrowding at home.  Planets with mass similar to that of Earth are needed for that purpose.

       The number of exo-planets - planets outside the solar system of Earth - are now numbering over four hundred.  The newly discovered planets are thought not to contain life, being too low in orbit toward their sun.  As show in the illustration, the planetary temperature is too hot to support life forms.                                                                                                            Illustration by Tiki Parrot

     Pedro came to Clearwater from the State of Hidalgo.  He likes a music form called cumbia.  The cumbia takes its name from a dance that originated on the eastern coast of Colombia.  It then evolved over years and migrated north into Mexico.  

     In its present form, "The cumbias have become love songs," Pedro said.  It's a major change from the days when the dance songs were symbols of resistance against the yoke of Spain.  Still, the piano player is quick to point out that the Spanish word for wife has two meanings.  "Esposas are 'wives', but the word also means 'handcuffs.'"

 Rhubarb Red, a teenage hillbilly guitar player-singer was playing at a barbeque when someone handed him a note.  "Your guitar's too quiet.  Turn up!"  The problem was that if you turned up an amplified acoustic guitar too much it squealed and sounded ratty.  The boy took a piece of solid wood from a Pullman car and a telephone ear-piece to make "The Log" - the world's first solid electric guitar.  

Lester William Polsfuss later changed his stage name from Rhubarb Red to Les Paul.  

He was an early developer of multi-track recording techniques.  His 1951 duet "How High the Moon," with singer Mary Ford was a huge hit.

The Gibson Guitar company brought him in as a consultant in the development of the manufacturer's first solid body guitar.  The guitar was famous for it's high quality sound and humbucking pickups (so called because it did not have the buzzing sound of a Fender Telecaster).  The Gibson Les Paul became an industry standard.  Those who played the instrument included Keith Richards, John Lee Hooker  the Sex Pistols, Slash, Pete Townshed, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. The Guardian described the Les Paul's sound as "burnished warmth" as compared to "the more caustic Fender."   -  Tiki Parrot

    At this point the Caribebay design team is creating beautiful virtual stores for free.  As the mall grows this free service may stop, so it’s a good idea to get in now.

     There are no fees for design or listing.  A percentage of each sale is paid to the house, but each store owner chooses his percentage.  The idea is that those that chip in higher house percentages get better positions in search returns.  This leaves it to the merchants to duke out - a real market leveler.

LD Sledge, editor here at the Clearwater Sun speaks out. Courage and guts!!!

  G. Gordon Liddy Implies that Republican Women
Stay At  Home, Don't Rise to High Positions
or Don't Menstruate 

Colonel Clearwater Speaks Out

"Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when she's menstruating 

or something, or just before she's going to menstruate. 

That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then."

 

     The conservative radio host, well known for degrading photos of women in his Stacked & Packed calendar series, right, uttered the words in opposition to the appointment of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court. By implication, the statement is a slur on Republican women.  The false allusion is that Republican females don't menstruate, or just stay at home, or don't rise to higher ranks.

     It is widely believed that the host is part of a Republician "I hope he fails" initiative announced by Rush Limbaugh.  The initiative puts the Republician re-election agenda ahead of the welfare of the nation, evidenced by political grandstanding such as repudiating stimulus funds to improve the nations declining public education, as was announced by Governor Sarah Palin.

     Judge Sotomayor comes from a Bronx Puerto  Rican family.  She graduated summa cum laude from Princeton, and earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Yale.  Like Justice Alito, she was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.  President Bush (The First) appointed her to the US District Court.  She was known for a ruling which ended the baseball strike.  In another famous case, she allowed the conservative Wall Street Journal to publish Vince Foster's suicide note.  President Bill Clinton promoted her to the Court of Appeals, her current job.  She has worked as an Adjunct Professor of Law at New York School of Law and is a Lecturer-In-Law at Columbia.

     Mr. Liddy was an artillery officer during the Korean war who never saw action and never went to Korea.  He is a convicted felon, known for the Watergate break-in.  His 20 year sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter to 8 years in a spirit of fairness, compared to the sentences of the other defendants. He served less than 5. - Col. CW
