i havent looked for any numbers but on tv last night they said obama go 90% of the hispanic vote in nevada and colorado and also that people of puerto rican descent in florida came out strong and for obama. heres hoping the dems start cultivating some national leaders from those communities along with focusing on issues important to them before the republican find their way out of the box theyve put themselves in regarding latino voters. one issue they might start with is statehood for puerto rico as a strong majority in puerto rico now support that effort . as a side benefit, its sure to drive the wingnuts crazy which would only further alienate the latino voters from the republican party.
The Post-Apocalypse Survival Machine Nerd Farm:
In 2007, Jakubowski began working on a minimum set of machines necessary to sustain a modern civilization. It comprises bread ovens, aluminum smelters, tractors, brick presses, and 46 others.

Work will com-mence soon on a cement mixer, a sawmill, and an industrial robot....
Jakubowski expects to have all 50 tools finished by 2015 and publishes progress reports on the Open Source Ecology website. He shares the designs for all the machines and produces how-to-make-it videos. He wants as many people as possible to take a crack at improving the designs.
