Penny Pincher Tip
Freezing Individual Portions of Soup
I like to make a big batch of soup, then freeze individual servings. I line bowls with plastic wrap, pour in soup and freeze. Once frozen, the soup can be popped out of the bowls and stored in large freezer bags. This also makes a nice gift for an ill friend or someone living alone.

The hillbillies

Here, have a good Laugh to start the New Year EmojiEmojiEmoji
   


      There were some backwoods hillbillies living across the river from each other, who feuded constantly. John hated Clarence with a passion and never passed up a chance to throw rocks across the river at Clarence. This went on for years until one day the Corps of Engineers came to build a bridge across that river. John was elated; he told his wife that finally he was going to get the chance to cross over and whip Clarence. He left the house and returned in a matter of minutes. His wife asked what was wrong, didn't he intend to go over the bridge and whip Clarence? He replied that he never had really seen Clarence up close and didn't realize his size until he started over the bridge and saw the sign:   "CLEARANCE 8 FT 3 IN" 
  

YEMEN ACCEPTED INTO WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

WTO: 2013 NEWS ITEMS
4 December 2013

Ministerial Conference approves Yemen’s WTO membership
On 4 December 2013, Yemen cleared the final hurdle to become a WTO member. WTO Ministers adopted Yemen’s WTO terms and conditions of entry at the 9th Ministerial Conference in Bali, Indonesia. Yemen will have until 2 June 2014 to ratify the deal and would become a fully-fledged WTO member 30 days after it notifies the acceptance of its Protocol of Accession to the WTO Director-General.

NOTE:
THIS NEWS STORY is designed to help the public understand developments in the WTO. While every effort has been made to ensure the contents are accurate, it does not prejudice member governments’ positions.
Trade Ministers of WTO member countries welcomed Yemen as a new member to the Organization and called this accession a historic achievement. Yemen’s accession to the WTO will strengthen the multilateral trading system, making the WTO a more universal organization, Ministers stressed.
In his address to Ministers, WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo paid special tribute to the government of Yemen for “having guided Yemen through the accession process” and for having undertaken “far-reaching domestic reforms, in challenging circumstances”. Yemen is the 35th least-developed country (LDC) WTO member. DG Azevêdo called on Yemen to “use the WTO platform to make its voice heard.” (see full statement)
Deputy Director-General David Shark paid tribute, on behalf of Mr Hartmut Röben (Germany), Working Party Chairperson for the Accession of Yemen to all members for having contributed to Yemen’s accession by building the necessary consensus to conclude the accession process. The documents before the Ministerial Conference, constituting Yemen’s terms and conditions of entry into the WTO, resulted from a tough and successful engagement between Yemen and WTO members.
Yemen’s Minister of Industry and Trade, H.E. Dr Saadaldeen Talib, said: “Sometimes, countries experience changing fortunes. But the very essence of a country and the history and civilization of trade remain. Our country has been trading for at least five or six hundred years — in fact, since the Spice Route. As a member of the WTO, we aim to strengthen that role and to connect with everybody in the world. We want to share our history, our products and our culture, as we have done with Indonesia — the host of this Ministerial Conference — for so many centuries.”  
Ministers congratulated Yemen for this considerable achievement. They acknowledged that the accession process was long and challenging for an LDC like Yemen.
The Protocol of Accession was officially signed by DG Azevêdo and H.E. Dr Saadaldeen Talib at the end of the ceremony.
Yemen originally applied for WTO membership in 2000 and the Working Party concluded the negotiations on 26 September 2013.
The list of Yemen’s commitments is available here.

feed masses now instead

John...instead of feeding into the
negative drama that is still trying
lol - FEED THE MASSES WITH
POSITIVE STATEMENTS TO CREATE
the "morphic field" of now -
"Together we intend to count the divine wealth that is here now." 
MILLIONS FOCUSED on this statement
is far more effective than posting the
negative blah blah blah!
WE ARE POWERFUL WHEN WE ALL JOIN
TOGETHER -- forget what they have done
and focus on what is!
:
Use your masterful powers of thought,
visualization and verbal intent to
Co-create a peaceful world now...

ALASKA AIR LINE PILOT HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!

This needs forwarding GLOBALLY!!!!
DRJ.
 


Subject: Fwd: ALASKA AIR LINE PILOT HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2014 13:37:23 -0500
Forwarded as received. I think he is  disgusted
 
Do you
remember  the scene?  The Senate.  Barbara Boxer hearing from a Brigadier  General?  Silly General!  He addresses Barbara as "Ma'm", and she  CORRECTS him, telling him she's "worked SO hard to earn the title, "Senator", so  please use that when speaking to her.  
 
Get a load of  this letter!
 
Read the letter sent to Sen. Barbara  Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot below.  Many of us witnessed the  arrogance of Barbara Boxer on   June 18,
2009   as she  admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as "ma'am"  and not "Senator" before a Senate  hearing.
 
This letter is from a National Guard  aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill.  I wonder what he  would have said if he were really angry. Long fly   Alaska    !!!!!

 
Babs:

 
You were so right on when you scolded  the General on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator".  After  all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of  superior rank or position.  The General was totally wrong.  You are  not a person of superior rank or position.  You are a member of one of the  world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S.  House of Representatives.

 
Congress is a cesspool of liars,  thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is  still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not  all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all  at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order  to be continually re-elected.  Many Democrats even want American troops  killed by releasing photographs.  How many of you could honestly say, "We  pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"?  None?   One?  Two?

 
 
Your reaction to the General shows  several things.  First is your abysmal ignorance of all things  military.  Your treatment of the General shows you to be an elitist of the  worst kind.  When the General  entered the military (as most of us who  served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your  corpulent derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20
thousand  dollar leather chair, paid for by the General 's taxes. You repaid him for this  by
humiliating him in front of millions.

 
Second is your puerile character, lack  of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic..  This  display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag,  scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the  unwashed, uneducated masses who have made  
California    into the laughing stock of the nation.

 
What I am writing, are the same  thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the  energy, ability or time to convey them.  Regardless of their thoughts, most  realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who  will bring home the most
bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that  person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt  and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

 
Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues,  "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for  it.

 
Finally, Senator, I, too, have a  title.  It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat."  It  is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland  Security, Janet Napolitano, and you were offended by  "ma'am"?

 
Have a fine day.   Cheers!
