Re: [MBZ] OT: Peter Schiff was right.
Allan Streib wrote: I really like his message that we really need to let this recession happen and get it over with, The Humpty Dumpty Economy By Peter Schiff Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. Friday, 14 November 2008 Before the current economic crisis became apparent to all, the most popular fable used to describe America’s uncanny economic resiliency was the story of Goldilocks. It was argued that our economy was skipping down a sunny path of moderate growth, low inflation and rising asset prices. However, a much better parable for our economy over the last decade would have been the story of Humpty Dumpty: a bloated, fragile shell perched on the top of a dangerously high stone wall. This week, all the government’s horses and all of its men scrambled to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Here is a look at some of this week’s highlights: The Mother of all Moral Hazards No doubt prodded by the administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a new attempt to stop the fall in home prices and foreclosures through a loan modification program that would cap mortgage payments so that a homeowner’s total housing expenses would not exceed 38% of household income for home owners who are 90 days delinquent. In a classic case of unintended consequences, the plan will encourage a massive new round of delinquencies and household income reduction as homeowners will jump through hoops to qualify for the program and maximize their benefit. Those who could conceivably economize to meet their existing obligations will now have a strong reason to forego such sacrifices. Those who are not 90 days past due will intentionally become so. In many cases, dual income families may decide to eliminate one job altogether as reduced mortgage payments combined with lower child care and other work related expenses will likely exceed the after-tax value of the lost paycheck. Unfortunately, the last thing our economy needs is falling household incomes and even more bad debt. But that is precisely what this plan will give us. To Bail or Not to Bail With the Big Three auto makers now in a plainly visible death spiral, the automotive bailout debate is kicking into overdrive. The disagreement hinges on whether a bailout is necessary to support an important industry or whether the unprofitable dinosaurs of the past should be allowed to fail as America focuses on an information-age, service sector, and alternative energy future. As usual, both sides have it wrong. The government should let the Big Three fail not because we no longer need an auto industry, but because we desperately do. What we do not need is the bloated, inefficient auto industry that we have today. By allowing the Big Three to fail, their capacity will be turned over to new owners who will be able to acquire the means of production at fire sale prices and hire workers at globally competitive wages. The result will be a more efficient auto industry making cars that people around the world actually want to buy at prices they can afford. Such auto makers could conceivably be profitable and could become the cornerstone of a manufacturing renaissance in the United States. In contrast, Ford, Chrysler and GM are never ending money pits that threaten to swallow a good deal of our economy. We Shopped and Dropped This week, the bankruptcy filing by Circuit City and a profit warning from Best Buy, served as proof positive that America’s national shopping spree is over. As I have long said, the business model of importing cheap goods for Americans to buy with credit cards was unsustainable. We were told to “Shop till we dropped,” and we did. Americans two primary sources of spending money, home equity extractions and unlimited credit card availability, have been shut down. With only dwindling paychecks to rely on, Americans are justifiably economizing. As a result, many more retailers will file for bankruptcy over the next few years, and those that remain solvent will only do so by drastically cutting their capacity. In a desperate move to arrest this necessary process, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced his intention to use part of the $700 billion TARP (Troubled Asset Recovery Program) funds to re-liquefy consumer lending. Paulson observed that “illiquidity is raising the cost and reducing the availability of car loans, student loans, and credit cards”, “creating a heavy burden on the American people” and reducing jobs. While all of this is true, this is precisely what needs to happen. Americans need to reduce their spending on all of these things, and market forces are in the process of bringing that change about. By encouraging even more borrowing, Paulson’s plan will aggravate the crisis. Along those lines, our nation’s various bank regulators issued a joint press release this week that “encouraged” banks to make more loans and to reduce their lending standards if need be.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Peter Schiff was right.
He sure got it right, however looking in retrospect you could probably find someone who "predicted" every major market move before it happened. I really like his message that we really need to let this recession happen and get it over with, that sometimes medicine "tastes bad" but you have to take it, in fact I used almost that same analogy in a conversation with a friend a couple of weeks ago. Meddling by the government in the form of bail-outs and other interference with what the market NEEDS to do (correct itself) is only going to make things ultimately much worse.

I read the list of ingredients in Gorilla glue and, my respiratory sensitivities in mind, immediately put the bottle back on the store's shelf. So, a single-edged razor blade it was!

Re: [MBZ] The simple things in life. :-)
Until your kid gets ahold of it, puts a small scratch on it and renders it entirely useless. That's happened to me with at least 3 of their DVD movies but they've NEVER been able to ruin a VHS cassette. Tapes are easy to ruin, but the hard shell protects them from a whole lot of casual abuse. My first CD player (and still working) doesn't mind the odd scratch, as it doesn't have a computer in it. You push play and it starts spinning, you push FF and it moves the head. You can scan the head off the end of the recorded area if you want. DVD's are hopeless, though. CD's, predating computing if you will, aren't necessarily. Just try finding a media reader nowadays that doesn't insist on a good table of contents track though! -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] More 240D drivin
Hammie the '83 240D went for another run today. I wanted to get him inspected but the only inspection station I know of that does diesels (I guess the state makes them pay extra) wants you in line by 4pm and even though there was nobody in line at 4:05 when I got there they wouldn't take me. Then I happened to mention this to Chuck, he tells me to stop by tomorrow and we'll go get a sticker on it. So tomorrow I put on my grubbies and head down to the snowmobile shop where Chuck works. Give him my key and some money and take over whatever hes doing. When he gets back I'll have a sticker. He says its no problem as long as the check engine light isn't on.

Re: [MBZ] Magazines accept film images, was Cameras
Dan - You can probably help me with your experience shooting for magazines - I wrote an artcle for Excellence magazine (changeover to EFI) and submitted images done with my Nikon digital at its highest setting - of 1632x1224 pixels. After the editor asked for higher resolution I told him I shot at the that resolution - he didn;t respond and used the images I provided - what more could I do? Isn't that pretty high?

Or has it all gone to digital? I assume you mean "medium format:" 6x4.5, 6x6, and 6x7. The magazines I shoot for (mostly Better Homes and Gardens titles, but others as well) prefer digital now, as the workflow is simpler and cheaper--no high-def film scanning required. I've not submitted a 6x6 chrome in years, but I'm sure they'd take 'em with no complaint if offered. They still use a lot of older "pickup" images that are film, so the capability to deal with it is still there. Most food photography is still shot large format film--5x7--in order to get selective focus and perspective correction--so they still deal with a lot of new film, too. Not as much medium format film as large format, though, as almost all pros now shoot medium format with digital backs.

I've made it crystal clear to my kids that if they cause a problem at school, what the teacher or principal decides to do will only be a warm up compared to what they'll get from home.

Good to hear the click as it reverses sides, haven't heard that in years. Amazing how well the audio quality has remained on the tapes too!!

Mitch Almost a current model - it's a Nissan Figaro - you see them in the UK from time to time - 5 to 10 years old, they are an example of the Japanese K-Car, or city car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Figaro Due to high population density in cities like Tokyo, with restrictions on parking spaces, small cars are very popular, and tax-advantageous, leading to a entire, and large, class of quirky, stylish, small engine displacement, short length cars - some were / are whizzy turbo-charged fun packages - often they find their way to the UK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car http://www.kei-cars.com/index_files/database.htm Hope this helps Howard Fulford Bath England ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: your government at its absolute finest
When I was in 5th grade, my NYC school teacher knocked us around (physically) a lot. I distinctly remember him pushing me to the (hard) floor and glowering over me for something I had done (it wasn't anything flagrant that I had committed). After that, the parents banded together and complained to the principal. The errant teacher was sent packing soon thereafter. I even remember the brutish teacher's name - Mr. Osman.

Re: [MBZ] Beautiful 140 Coupe
There is one around here which looks to be very nice too. A S600 coupe, but the asking price is $22,000. Ofcourse, no way he'll ever get that kind of money for it, the car has simply fallen out of fashion with most, much like old Porsche 928s. Still, I think they're fantastic cars, but I'm sure cost a fortune to run and keep them in the shape they deserve to be kept.
