  • Christmas 1776 (2012/1/21)
    As we are enjoying our Christmas festivities this year, let us remember another Christmas day over two hundred years ago that may well have altered the course of American history. 1776 had been a very discouraging year militarily for the Americans. The Continental Army had suffered several defeats in New York and had retreated to Pennsylvania. Morale was low; soldiers were deserting. Soldiers lacked adequate clothes and sometimes even shoes. Public spirits were very low. General Washington knew that he needed some sort of a success soon in order to keep the whole revolutionary effort from collapsing. He devised a plan to attack the enemy garrison at Trenton, New Jersey, which consisted of about 2000 Hessian soldiers. There is speculation that this particular target and time were selected b...
  • What The Tea Party Needs To Learn (2012/1/21)
    The tea party movement has been one of the most encouraging developments in the political arena for a long time. When I went to my first tea party rally back in 2009, I was struck by a couple of things. One was the number of people present who made comments such as, “I’ve never done anything like this before, but I just felt I had to speak out.” Another notable point was that no elected officials or candidates were invited; it was strictly an event for non-politicians. I was impressed by how peaceful, calm, and sincere it all was. After the speeches from the organizers, we threw bags of tea into the nearby creek (with a string attached so we could pull them back out and not be litterers). Yes, the tea party types can have a “million man” march on the Mall in Washington with no vi...
  • Another Un-won War (2012/1/4)
    The last American troops have left Iraq. In his comments regarding this event, President Obama did not use any of these words: victory, mission accomplished, win, won, triumph, success, complete, or any other such words. Quite the contrary: A few months ago, Obama said he was uncomfortable with the notion of “victory” in Iraq. So our soldiers just left one day, and we now have another un-won war. This is a real problem. There are consequences to un-won wars, just as there are consequences when we win. Let’s look at real examples from United States history that show the consequences of wars that were won and those that were not. The last war that America won decisively was World War II (WWII). Both Germany and Japan surrendered unconditionally. For Japan, this happened only after the ...
  • A Commission Designed To Fail (2011/12/18)
    The budget deficit and debt debate has been so debilitating to Congress that they gave up on trying to reach an agreement and instead appointed the so-called “super committee” to do it. This committee, consisting of six Democrats and six Republicans, was chartered to formulate a plan for reducing the deficit by $1.2 trillion over the next ten years. The committee would report back to Congress with its plan, and Congress would vote on it. If no plan was presented or if Congress voted it down, automatic spending cuts equal to the $1.2 trillion would kick in. In government, when you want to make sure nothing happens, you appoint a committee. There are 535 members of Congress (100 U.S. Senators and 435 Representatives).

    On October 18, speaking of the Occupiers, President Obama said on ABC news, “We are on their side.” And the President told Occupy demonstrators in New Hampshire, “You are the reason I ran for office.” Here are some recent news headlines and quotes concerning the Occupiers: “Wall Street Protesters Evicted From Camp” “Police roust protesters from New York square” “It took 150 Sanitation Department workers hours to clear the mess, finding everything from hypodermic needles to buckets of human waste” “L.A. Police Disperse Protesters’ Camp” “Death brings more pressure to close camps” “Occupy Atlanta organizers said Sunday that they plan to again try to camp at a city park, setting up yet another overnight showdown with police a night after 19 people were arrested...
  • Liberals Feel; Conservatives Think (2011/11/22)
    During my decades of observing and commenting on political and social issues, I have slowly come to the conclusion that liberals apparently live in a parallel universe where reality is not defined by past history, logic, reason, hard data, common sense, and factual observations but rather by how one feels. Reality to a liberal is determined by their feelings and their dogma. This is why you can’t have a legitimate debate of the issues with liberals; what they feel must be true even though past history and hard data show the contrary. Let’s go on a journey through the parallel universe in which liberals live. Liberals’ parallel universe: The “rich” don’t pay their fair share of taxes. Real universe of facts: The top 1% of income earners paid 38% of all federal incomes taxes, the...
  • Democrats Are Killing Jobs (2011/11/16)
    When President Obama proposed “son of stimulus”, any remaining doubt about his intentions was removed. He doesn’t care about jobs; his overriding concern is to massively increase government spending and raise taxes to pay for it. One member of Obama’s staff famously said a crisis should never go to waste. That’s what this is all about - Obama using the economic situation as an opportunity to further his agenda. He doesn’t want to solve the problem; he wants to exploit it. He and his enablers are statists who want most of all to increase government control of every aspect of our lives. To them, only the elite ruling class is competent enough to know what’s good for the masses. If Obama wants jobs, why does he prevent more off-shore drilling and the thousands of high paying job...
  • Yes we Cain! (2011/10/29)
    Herman Cain is running for the Republican nomination to be their candidate for President in the 2012 election. To say that he’s not your usual Presidential candidate is an understatement. As far as I’m concerned, he’s a breath of fresh air in what can be the stultifying world of political candidates. Let’s take a quick look at his life. He has truly lived the American dream. Herman Cain grew up in Atlanta in the 1950’s and 60’s with, as his bio says, “loving parents and little else”. His father worked three jobs and his mother was a domestic worker. Their dream was for their two children to go to college. Herman graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a degree in mathematics, and his brother graduated from Morris Brown College. Mission accomplished. Herman went on to ...
  • Government Greed (2011/10/15)
    Greed – Intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. (Oxford American Dictionary). President Obama and others in Washington have been vilifying “the rich” for months, saying among other things that they don’t pay their “fair share” in taxes. The greedy “rich” apparently want to keep all of that money for themselves, the selfish SOB’s. And now we are hearing about “corporate greed” and all of the selfish people on “Wall Street”. Why do they hoard all of that money; why don’t they hire some people or do some such generous and appropriate activity with that money; spread it around, you know? But no, they keep it all for themselves. How greedy; they need to be punished. I have a different view. There is a much bigger, much more powerf...
  • Is Social Security A Ponzi Scheme? (2011/9/29)
    Few people attract so much notoriety that their name is coined into a new word. One interesting example is the word “hooker”, meaning a prostitute, which came to us from General Joseph Hooker during the Civil War who reportedly had so many women of ill-repute hanging around his headquarters that they became known as “hookers”. Another example is “Ponzi scheme”. Recently, a Presidential candidate said that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. What was he talking about? According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, a “Ponzi scheme” is an investment fraud that involves the payment of “returns” to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest their money in opportunities that are c...
  • Obama Wants More Taxes On The "Rich" (2011/9/21)
    President Obama is worried about the "fairness" of the federal tax code. He says he wants changes to make sure millionaires are taxed at a higher rate than their secretaries. I guess he doesn't know that they already are. On average, the wealthiest people in America pay a lot more taxes than the middle class or the poor, according to private and government data. They pay at a higher rate, and as a group, they contribute a much larger share of the overall taxes collected by the federal government. This year, households making more than $1 million will pay an average of 29.1 % of their income in federal taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes, and other taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank. Households making between $50,000 and $75,000 will pay an average o...
  • The King's Speech (2011/9/18)
    It’s déjà vu all over again. President Obama recently gave his umpteenth speech about the bleak situation we have with jobs and the economy and what needs to be done to make things better. That’ll solve our economic problems – another speech. The next day, the stock market dropped three hundred points. Obama proposed his latest and greatest plan to fix the economy, and it was for more of the same: massive government spending, throwing money at his favored groups, demonizing “the rich”, repairing the infrastructure, touting “green jobs” as the savior of the economy, demanding that Congress pass his proposal immediately, blah, blah, blah. You may have detected that I am more than a little skeptical, which I am, because we have been down this road before with Obama. I’m sure...
  • Big Education (2011/9/12)
    Radford University (RU) raised tuition by 8% this year, after an 11.3% increase last year. That’s a 19.3% increase in just two years. Other Virginia colleges and universities have had similar tuition increases in recent years, as have colleges around the country. One year of a college education now typically costs between $20,000 and $50,000, which comes out to $80,000 to $200,000 for the four years it normally takes to graduate. My entire undergraduate education at the University of Virginia cost me a total of about 12 or $13,000 (that’s for tuition, fees, room, food, books, everything). Now at UVA, it’s going to cost you $25,000 a year, at least. That’s a 669% increase (since 1969). Here is a test: Why do we not hear politicians, newspapers, TV talking heads, pundits, and all the...
  • Exegesis on "ed" (2011/8/30)
    This is the one that pushed me over the edge. Yesterday, I went to McDonald’s. This is something I do now and then as a reward for having done some especially hard work. I had been in the vineyard all day pruning the vines and picking off bad grapes one-by-one, getting ready for the harvest. So, on the way home, I stopped at McDonald’s to get a small burger, small fries, and a soda, a line-up that would be heavenly after a hot day in the field. And then the trouble started. I am particular about what is put on my hamburger. I want lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, but nothing else. Nothing else; especially not mayonnaise, mustard, or ketchup. So, on that day, I innocently ordered a burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion only, as I have done many times before. But this time, things prog...
  • Saved From The Edison Light Bulb (2011/8/22)
    While the politicians in Washington haven’t been able to do anything serious about unemployment, the economy, or the out-of-control government spending, it is reassuring to keep in mind that they can, in fact, solve big, important, pressing problems from time to time. Congress can rise to the occasion. For example, come January 1, Congress’s solution to one of the most serous problems to confront America in recent times will kick in. As of that date, a bill passed by Congress will save us from a deathly hazard that threatens “the nation’s future and collective health”, as the luminaries at the L. A. Times put it. That threat is the light bulb invented by Thomas Edison. Take heart, my beleaguered friends. Your 401k may have tanked, you may not have a job or any prospects for one, ...

Governor McDonnell Announces 240 New Jobs in Pulaski County

~Phoenix Packaging Operations, LLC will invest more than $20 million to establish its North American headquarters and first U.S. manufacturing operation~

RICHMOND- Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Phoenix Packaging Operations, LLC, a subsidiary of Phoenix Packaging Group, will invest more than $20 million to establish its first U.S. operation in Pulaski County. The company will manufacture thermoformed rigid plastic packaging for customers in the U.S., and also establish its North American headquarters in Pulaski. The project will create 240 new jobs. Virginia successfully competed against Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.

Speaking about today’s announcement, Governor McDonnell commented, “This manufacturing and U.S. headquarters operation is tremendous news for the New River Valley and Virginia. Phoenix Packaging is an international company that produces the packaging for many major companies and household names. With this Pulaski County operation, the company will be in closer proximity to serve its U.S. customers. I applaud everyone involved in winning a highly competitive project that involves a significant investment and 240 new jobs for the Commonwealth.”

Phoenix Packaging Group, a family owned Latin American company dedicated to the creation, design, and manufacturing of plastic packaging and foodservice disposable products, is one of the most important packaging manufacturing conglomerates in Latin America with sales in more than 30 countries. The company was established in 1999 with the integration of several industry leading companies in Colombia and Venezuela, and in 2003 a Mexican company joined the group. The company has eight locations in Latin America, employing 4,000 people in four countries. Customers include Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Keurig, Van Houtte, Agro-Farma, General Mills, Sturm Foods and Colgate, for products such as ice cream and other dairy products, margarine, desserts, and soaps, as well as single-serve products such as yogurt and coffee.

“Phoenix Packaging chose the Commonwealth of Virginia to be the home of its U.S. operations after analyzing more than 40 possible locations in six states from the standpoint of geographical location, availability of qualified workforce, energy costs and state and local incentives, among others,” said Alberto Peisach, President and CEO, Phoenix Packaging Operations. “We found that state and local authorities in Virginia were seriously committed to helping new companies set up their manufacturing facilities and bring in high-paying jobs. The state government’s proactive attitude in finding ways to meet our needs, and their flexibility in creating a program to help us find and train the right workforce, was far more forward-thinking than any competing states. With three major higher education institutions in the area, and the government officials’ unwavering interest in creating jobs, Pulaski County was hard to beat.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Pulaski County and the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance to secure the project for Virginia. Governor McDonnell approved an $850,000 grant from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to assist Pulaski County with the project. The Virginia Department of Business Assistance will provide training assistance through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. The company is eligible to receive rail access funding from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. The company also is eligible to participate in the Virginia Enterprise Zone Program, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.

Pulaski County Board of Supervisors Chairman, Joe Sheffey voiced his appreciation: “Phoenix Packaging’s decision to set up its U.S. operations in Pulaski County and to employ 240 persons provides a much welcomed boost to our local economy. The location of a major food packing company builds on the County’s agricultural roots, Virginia Tech’s food science expertise and local plastics-related companies Xaloy and Mar Bal. We sincerely appreciate Phoenix Packaging’s commitment; the investment by Governor McDonnell; the assistance of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership; the initiative of the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance; and the dedication of the County economic development staff.”

  • [2010/5/7] Virginia Fringed Mountain Snail [Polygyriscus virginianus]
    EPA mandated Limitations on Pesticide Use

    Do not apply within 100 yards of species habitat for aerial applications or within 20 yards of species habitat for ground applications.

    The Virginia fringed mountain snail has a tiny shell that measures only 4.5 millimeters (.18 in) in diameter. It has four to five whorls that increase in thickness toward the rim and have eight to ten spiral, comb-like fringes that occur inside the lower spiral grooves. The living animal inside the shell is white, without pigmented eyestalks, and is probably blind.

    The Virginia fringed mountain snail is the only species in its genus and is considered to be amongst the rarest snails in North America. Very little is known about this snail other than it is a burrower and does not come...

If you visit our site to read or download information, we utilize software programs provided by our web server hosting services provider to collect and store the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account, or gmu.edu if you are connecting from George Mason University's domain); the date and time you access our site; pages within our site which you access, and, if applicable, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. In addition, for repeat users of certain features on our site, the program offers you the option of having a "cookie" placed upon your own computer so that our computers will recognize you on repeat visits without need for re-entry of a password. If you share your computer with others, you may wish to consider whether or not you desire to use this feature as it could permit those other users to make posting under your name.  We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, to gauge the level of interest among visitors in various topics, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors.
