America's middle class is under siege and ready for a change. People are working harder and longer for less and less.

Corporate profits are up. CEO pay is up. Wages are lagging. Household debt is soaring. At the same time, health care, energy, and education costs are rising. Last year, more people went bankrupt in our country than graduated from college.

For six long years, it's like America's middle class and working families have been invisible to our president. He's looked right through them.

If you're a worker who can't organize for fair wages and safe working conditions, you're invisible. If you're a grandmother who has watched this administration try to privatize Social Security and dump piles of debt on your grandchildren, you're invisible. If you're a mother who can't afford child care, a kid who can't afford college, a family that can't afford to get by on the minimum wage, you're invisible.

When Hillary is in the White House, no American will be invisible to the president

It is a short film with unknown actors. Probably only 30mins long or something.

It is set in olden times in eastern europe and is the story of a couple in love who have no money to buy one another a christmas present. She sells some of her hair to buy her other half a present and he sells his violin to buy her a present.

its a bit sad because she loves it when he plays violin, and he loves her hair.

any ideas????

For all Employees Who Work with Rude Customers
An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some
months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when
confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been
withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of
inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way
to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE
to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS".
The attendant replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but
I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work
something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the
passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I
AM?"
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address
microphone:
"May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please," she
began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a
passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If
anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at
the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F... You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to
get in line for that too”

I have a compost bucket in my backyard that I throw kitchen refuse into and then give to the local Co-op. Is it alright to put wheat pasta in the compost? I made some Anne's macaroni and cheese, but just ended up cooking it for too long and never added the cheese. The pasta was whole wheat shells.

If as a society we convict people of crime, if we have a preponderance of evidence, why do atheists reject Christ when there is more then a preponderance of evidence showing he is the Lord sent to give us redemption and salvation? Not only rejection but ridicule those who do believe and know the truth?

She doesn't snoop through his stuff, but he still insists on cleaning out the history on his computer whenever she asks to borrow it, except this last time. She was attempting to attach a photo to an email and stumbled upon the 20 videos of "hot asians looking for action"!

She is concerned because he has been hiding it from her. He has not shown much sexual interest in quite a while (he has a cut off time of when it is acceptable to have sex). She is a white girl and is concerned he has been spending too much alone time with the "asian girls" and is no longer attracted to her. What advice do I give?

Check this out. I have this friend who goes to Mexico and comes home with a trunk full. Yes, a TRUNK FULL of AK-47's. He's got maybe $1100.00 in the lot of them. They're practically new. He plans to sell them for $500 each. Now, the point is. It's ALREADY illegal to do this. Do you really think that banning guns in this country will keep them out of the hands of criminals? Kind of like how banning cocaine cleaned it right up huh?

Situation: A person is hired as a manager, then when the workload required two people, the manager voluntarily requested a senior staff role to focus on mentoring junior team members and addressing immediate needs of the organization. The now former manager suggested to the company that they bring in a director above him to manage the leadership team as well as champion the team's efforts.

During this time, another senior staff member was added to the team so now the former manager and the newer staff member are peers. A company-wide announcement was issued by the VP of the team detailing the former manager's new role.

The company has decided they need to layoff people across the company and for the purposes of the layoff changed the former manager's title from senior staff member back to manager. Now the manager has no peers. The former manager is an African-American male-40 years old. The only people on this team who were impacted were also the only two African-Americans on the team.

I can provide additional details if needed.
