If the Euro is doomed, what do you think that will do to/for the US dollar? It was only a few years back that everyone was pinning their hopes on the euro as becoming the global standard for currency, unseating the US dollar in the process...

Treaty to Save Euro Takes Shape, but Britain Sits Out
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/10/business/global/european-leaders-agree-on-fiscal-treaty.htmlBRUSSELS — European leaders, meeting until the early hours of Friday, agreed to sign an intergovernmental treaty that would require them to enforce stricter fiscal and financial discipline in their future budgets. But efforts to get unanimity among the 27 members of the European Union, as desired by Germany, failed as Britain refused to go along.
Importantly, all 17 members of the European Union that use the euro agreed to the new treaty, along with six other countries who wish to join the currency union one day. Two countries, the Czech Republic and Sweden, said they would want to talk to their parties and parliaments at home before deciding, said President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, but it seemed unlikely that Sweden would join. Hungary said it wanted to examine the details, leaving Britain isolated.

Wow! Thanks for all the advice! I think I'll have some guilt if I pick a cut tree over a man made one... The only consolation is that they are grown on tree farms. I also have to worry about it drying out I live in Phoenix (the capital of dry). Maybe this year I'll go small and pick a 3ft potted tree and plant it in my back yard when I'm done (which it'll probably die as nothing really grows well here unless you dump water on it - not a good thing to do in a desert)
On the techy side of things, I was thinking about putting together a small light controller and controlling the tree lights with music or ??
cheers!

When I was little (before JWism) we celebrated Christmas. My parents got the "Truth" then we no longer celebrated it. We used to get together with family and friends and it was great! I loved the glow of the lights on the tree in a dimly lit room. Needless to say, I am attempting to recapture some of that "feeling".
So.. what's with all the prewired trees? There used to be a lot of LED lights available in the past couple years, I dint see many around - especially on prewired trees. (Part of the fun of setting up the tree was hanging the lights).
What's your thought about natural cut trees vs man made ones?
cheers

Speaking to Russian journalists Saturday, Medevedev said the failures have dealt a "serious blow to our competitiveness," according to a transcript of the question-and-answer session posted on the Kremlin's website.
Earlier this month, Russia's $165 million Phobos-Grunt Mars probe was stranded in Earth orbit. Russia's workhorse rockets have also suffered four mishaps in the last 12 months, resulting in the loss of satellites and a resupply ship for the International Space Station.
"This is not a fatal blow, but it does mean that we are going to have to make a thorough examination of the situation and punish those responsible," Medvedev said.

Two Words... Oh My!
(CBS/AP) MIAMI - A transgendered woman was arrested Friday for allegedly posing as a doctor and injecting cement, mineral oil and flat-tire sealant into the buttocks of a woman who had wanted a fuller figure. Police say she also performed similar work on herself.
Oneal Ron Morris, 30, who police say was born a man but identifies as a woman, was charged with practicing medicine without a license and serious bodily injury. She was released on bond.
The victim, who is not being identified, was reportedly referred to Morris by a friend for a series of injections costing $700 in May 2010. Police said Morris injected tubes in several places around her bottom and pumped them full of toxic substances.
Miami Gardens Police Sgt. Bill Bamford said that when the pain became severe Morris told the patient, "'Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. We just keep injecting you with the stuff and it all works itself out.'"
