No Heather you were Robin Hood in a past life.  Rob (Steal) from the rich and donate (give) to the poor even those who can work but prefer not to.

Well said Jordan!  I think Heather- flying under the flag of Progressivism is actually a socialist/communist.  Maybe she should move to China.  You know they say you never appriecate what you have until it is taken away from you.

Cornel West Huh?  What a radical left wing trouble maker.  You fit well running in his circle Heather!

We I suspect that all industries need some immigrant labor.  If for no other reason than to hold American workers to a quaity standard.  I am sure if you are a practicing LA even if you do not build you have been on the Job when a Landscape Contractor is working.  I am sure you have seen for yourself the difference of how an American crew work…[Read more]

Thanks for the flattery…and thanks for the links. I will have to add those in my daily news-troll on the web when I have the time. Mostly, because I am lazy and hate to read too much, I keep the business channels on in the background for much of the statistics…every thursday AM, the jobs numbers come out, I keep an eye on the ABI as it is…[Read more]

They are, in fact, lazy. Educated though they may be they are educated on useless utopian platitude. Bottom line: They never learned to fish because they were taught how evil it was to bait a hook. Consequently the stand at the top of the bank waiting to rob those with the courage to stand at teh water’s edge. They attempt to justify this cov…[Read more]

I don’t want to lose capitalism! That is a definition of freedom.

Of course I’ve read the entire thread and my thoughts are neither unique nor complicated.  Free enterprise and capitalism, right here in the greatest nation ever to exist on Earth have produced over half of all the economic activity in all of human history.  Capitalism has fed, clothed, sheltered, secured, housed, and healed the planet for gener…[Read more]

Autocad LT 2008 in my own business, Autocad  3d companion 2009 in the engineer’s office.
 
I’ve been using Acad professionally for 12 years and everything else that I try makes me want to stay with it.

I’m not sure about the multiple choice materials, but the section E material is pretty squirrely.

1. Rhino 3D, Autocad
2. In Rhino I can do 3d modeling, cad plans, and sections within the program. It can import/export dwg files and maintain the layers, lineweights, styles, text, etc
3. Rhino functions very much like Autocad and you can even use the same shortcut commands, though it can’t handle large dwg files. After the concept phase, I…[Read more]
