During the 2004 election, then-presidential challenger John Kerry said he would keep the troops in Iraq for the foreseeable future. Recently, Kerry stepped up and backed up some of his colleagues’ call for bringing American troops out of Iraq.
Kerry’s arguement is in a bad position right now. Zarqawi’s death has certainly make the Iraq streets less murderous, John Burn of the Times told Charlie Rose last night. This might be a small sign of positive progress. Having come this far, should the US not willing to see through the foreseeable end?
What Kerry and his colleagues should bring to the debate table are incremental goals to achieve the withdrawal. Constructive criticism win long-term political points. Scoring cheap, red-meat soundbites will only provide short-term gain.
Kerry and his colleagues should layout reasonable objectives and reasonable dates. For instance, Notebook would like to see the US meet certain level of security by certain date. How about securing a specific town within the next 3 months? Then another town 3 months after that?
Victory in Iraq would prompt the return of the troops, but at the same time repair some of the damages that US caused by going in. Kerry voted for the war. His vote partially got the country into war. The oil addiction is here to stay and will stay for another decade or two. No doubt the US will get off this addiction, but it cannot happen overnight. The oil Iraq provide for the near future will cushion thethe US economy and eventually the global economy.
Success in Iraq will also trigger some pressure on Iran. The US’s credibility right now rises and sinks with the events in Baghdad. A lot of money already invested, a lot of political chips already spent, staying just a bit longer might prove rewarding in multitude.
Notebook realizes that the Republican is not doing very well at the moment. But if the Democratic party want to fully capture the House and Senate, it must act like a reponsible party and not renegades with splinter cells. John Kerry wants to run in 2008, fine, but until his announcement for the rematch, his constituents deserve a senator looking out for them and not to his future plan.

It’s your property and up to you to choose wisely what happens to it, even after you’re gone.
“Cheap land, cheap survey,” we used to say… but a lot of rural land ain’t so cheap any more! This means that if you have owned a cherished piece of rural land for rural-land.jpgyears, you have a responsibility now to deal with it as carefully as you would deal with any other big asset… and as wisely as you would deal with your most difficult child.
First, let’s answer some important questions. Do you intend to retire on this land? Do you hope to spend all your remaining days there, or do you expect to sell at some point? Will you need to sell it to fund your retirement, or is it important to keep the land in the family? How will you protect it from nursing home costs? Which child do you hope will get the land, or will you break it up, or will you leave it to all of them? … And that’s just for starters! Ignoring these and other big questions is not going to make them go away, but instead it will likely lead you and your family to risk suffering some avoidable tragedies. Denver corporate rentals are another good option for certain types of people.
Everyone’s situation is so unique that we can’t cover every possible issue here, but we can give you a starter checklist. Once you and your family have made your decisions, then you can start to go down this list; you will need the help of lawyers and other professionals, but they can’t help you unless you have thought it through enough to be able to tell them what you want:
• If you will need to sell the land to fund your retirement lifestyle, or if it is simply becoming too much to care for, then here are the steps that you should take:
• If you hope to stay on the land for the rest of your life, you should first do everything laid out above! Then in addition you ought to do the following:
• If you want your heirs to inherit the land, you should first do everything laid out above! Then in addition you ought to do the following:
Owning rural land can be a source of family joy for years or decades more, but to ensure that there are no bumps in the road it just makes sense that you plan for the land’s future. We can’t offer you legal advice. What we can do, though, is to point out all the ways in which you can plan to do things right!

Once you and your family have made your decisions, then you can start to go down this list; you will need the help of lawyers and other professionals, but they can’t help you unless you have thought it through enough to be able to tell them what you want:
• If you will need to sell the land to fund your retirement lifestyle, or if it is simply becoming too much to care for, then here are the steps that you should take:
- - Consult at least three real estate professionals. You want a good idea of what the land is worth, what the market is like, and whether you should first subdivide the road frontage or get a zoning variance or do something else to make your land more attractive. Don’t get just one opinion… get many!
- - Make sure that your title is clean. If you have owned the land for a very long time, and especially if you inherited it, then you ought to know right off the bat whether there are any clouds on your title. A title search is a few hundred dollars well spent.
- - Check with your municipal or county planning department. Try to find out what is coming up for your area in terms of zoning changes, future roads, and future subdivisions or municipal facilities. What you learn might make you decide to hold out for a few years more as things develop, or it might convince you to get out as soon as possible.
- - Consider buying an up-to-date survey. Remember our “cheap land, cheap survey” quote above! Most rural land is so poorly surveyed that it is impossible to know for certain what you own or even just where it is, and all of that is important if you are planning for the future of your land. But surveying is expensive. Get competitive firm quotes, and if you can’t afford it then hold off and let your eventual buyer pay for it.
- - Consider subdividing. In some areas, population pressures are forcing highly punitive changes in zoning and in building regulations – big lot sizes, excessive slope restrictions, ridiculous frontage requirements, and so on. Even if you don’t want to sell right away, for you to do whatever is necessary to grandfather your land under former law might be just common sense.
• If you hope to stay on the land for the rest of your life, you should first do everything laid out above! Then in addition you ought to do the following:
- - Plan to pay your living expenses for the rest of your life so you won’t have to give up and sell the land when you are 87 and into a depressed market for Denver corporate rentals.
- - Plan to pay for nursing home costs. This means that you will need long-term-care insurance, and it may also mean that you will want to hold title to the land in an irrevocable trust.
- - Plan your estate. Estate tax laws vary by state, and even on the federal level any individual estate worth more than two million dollars is going to be taxed this year. How much is your whole likely estate worth? Have you and your spouse planned around estate taxes so they won’t hit you until the second death, and have you planned to pay taxes at that second death so your heirs won’t be faced with a forced land sale?
• If you want your heirs to inherit the land, you should first do everything laid out above! Then in addition you ought to do the following:
- - Make sure that all your heirs really want the land. Don’t assume it! Instead have some good, frank talks. If one or more of your children would rather have their inheritance in cash, then forcing everyone to share the land is only going to guarantee some legal wars for Denver corporate rentals.
- - Make sure that they can afford to keep the land. Some parents leave funds in trust for taxes and maintenance, while others provide for a way for some of their children to pay costs that will be repaid to them in additional use privileges or in eventual repayment when the land is sold.
- - Provide for a stable form of ownership. Depending upon the jurisdiction, this might mean a limited partnership, a limited liability company, or a trust. Take the time to make certain that whatever you do is drafted carefully to meet your family’s specific needs.
- - Provide for a clean way to end the partnership. Nothing goes on forever. Your trust or other arrangement should provide for a neat and obvious way that it can end amicably.
Owning rural land can be a source of family joy for years or decades more, but to ensure that there are no bumps in the road it just makes sense that you plan for the land’s future. We can’t offer you legal advice. What we can do, though, is to point out all the ways in which you can plan to do things right!

The Many Benefits of Using Solar Panels
Solar panels can be used in so many different applications that it would take volumes to talk about all of them. In the same token, the benefits of using them are also just as numerous. Solar power as a form of electricity has been around for a few hundred years, but using solar to heat homes, cook food and make water hot has been around for centuries. This article focuses more on the electrical applications, however.
In the last few decades, with the demand for solar power increasing, solar panels and the technology behind them has grown by leaps and bounds. They are smaller, lighter, and can be used for just about anything these days, from charging and powering laptops, small appliances, even to power homes and businesses. Output efficiency has also grown, and now even on a cloudy day your solar panel can absorb at least half of its normal capacity. There are flexible solar panels, which can be used for marine applications. They can also be used for back packers. There are small panels that are integrated into things like backpacks, identification tags, and many others.
Here are some of the many different benefits of using solar panels in your every day life. One of the major ones is the solar power is free, and even on a cloudy day, you have to be happy that you are using free power. Solar power is abundant, and totally renewable energy. Because of this, it is also clean energy, not emitting any toxins into our atmosphere like a lot of forms of electrical power do, say power plants and gas generators.
Solar panels are versatile. There are more different kinds of solar panels than you can shake stick at, and can be used for many applications. You can take a solar panel with you wherever you go, and have electrical power to run your laptop, play video games, or keep your cell phone charged at all times, especially when needed in an emergency.
You will save a lot of money, on energy costs, batteries for your flashlights and other electronics. Using solar power for outdoor lights can save you hundreds on you power bill every year. Having solar panels can help you save money on batteries, because many of your electronics, even those without rechargeable batteries, can be recharged or powered by solar energy.
Solar panels, lighting, charging systems, generators and the like are easy to install and usually don't require any extra wiring. This means that you can set up a solar panel for pumps that are way out on your property, or take a panel with you to a remote campsite, use them on the beach, just to name a few.
Now there are some disadvantages of solar panels, but not many. One of them is that they are affected by the sun. The sun goes down at night, but the batteries store this energy during the day and release it's power at night, like solar lighting for patios and walkway. These systems can be a little more expensive initially, but they can pay for themselves in just a short period of time.

Blogs are a great way to add a personal touch to your website. Blogs also help you keep a written journal of how your business is doing while attracting and helping customers at the same time.
Newsletter / Mass-email Services
Email newsletters can be an excellent way to promote your business if used properly. Many people will open emails that are sent from a local company or organization simply because they recognize the name.

At Eyefly Design, we have outlined the design process of your project's overall creation into four important phases.
1. Initial Consultation - We begin the design process of your project by understanding your business, your customers, and your message that we need to communicate successfully to help your business grow. Before we can brainstorm successful designs for your business, we need to understand your unique company inside and out to ensure designs that communicate the right messages.
2. Rough Drafts - After we have gotten familiar with your business and unique company, we can begin the actual process of designing your project. As a team, we will explore multiple concepts and solutions for your individual design project, then share our multiple approaches with you to choose one and move forward to the revision phase.
3. Revisions - Now that we fully understand your business and unique company, and have settled with a design approach of your choice, we can begin the actual process of production. During the production of your project, we will include you every step of the way, ensuring your satisfaction with the final product and an opportunity to give us feedback to refine details throughout the entire production process.
