Jerry Bowyer, Contributor
I explore the problems leaders face.
Alexis De Tocqueville once said that the limits placed on the central power in the new world are different from the limits placed on national power in the old world. In the New World, the national government has jurisdiction in certain specific areas. It is prohibited by law and custom from transgressing the boundaries of its jurisdiction. In that sense its power is severely limited. But within those boundaries it is sovereign and almost completely beyond challenge. If something such as war or taxing power is deemed a 'federal matter,' challenges to that power, for example the Whiskey Rebellion, were historically rare and suppressed mercilessly when they did occur.
On the other hand, Tocqueville says, the Old World functioned quite differently. The monarchs tended to be in constant conflict with other political powers regarding proper jurisdiction. The crown and the aristocracy and the colonies and provinces were engaged in an eternal game of tug of war, with each citing their own interpretation of law and custom to attempt to limit the jurisdiction of the others. Tocqueville observed that the limits to the powers of the central government in that case were largely imposed by the practical limits of enforcement. If a province was too well armed, then they went unmolested. If the aristocracy had the armies to resist, then they resisted. If colonies were too far away, or protected by seasonal factors then they had greater liberty. The monarch could only rule what he had the power to take and to keep, whereas America at the time that Democracy In America was being written tended to respect federal authority even where federales were few and far between.
It seems to be that as the United States federal government and the Presidency in particular have gradually morphed into something more like a European monarchy, our attitude towards its sovereignty has shifted. Certainly no state or province or faction of the ruling class would dare to challenge the military might of the United States in a single act of open revolt. But as time goes on we challenge it in small acts of secret revolt. Violation, for example, of our draconian system of immigration laws has become quite common. How many appointees to the federal bench or to the office of Attorney General must be caught in nannygate scandals involving child care payments to illegal aliens made under the table before we get the fact that our governing class, even that part which is directly pledged to enforce the law, routinely ignore this law?
We have a Treasury secretary who cheated on his taxes. But he is not the only one. There are probably more people who buy goods and services via the internet and catalogues who don't pay sales taxes than people who do. We've been rehabbing our 132-year-old home for several years now, and I can tell you, some subcontractors expect to be paid in cash under the table. We follow speed limits when we think they are being enforced only. Dads let their teenaged kids drink beer. People cross the state line to buy fireworks, or any good when the sales tax is lower. People on unemployment compensation stretch it out so they can work on their eBay business.
Retirees buy discount drugs from Canada. Families share prescription antibiotics with other family members for whom they have not been prescribed. A man with cancer smokes marijuana even though he doesn't live in a medical marijuana state. When we are driving at night and we come to a T in the road with a stop sign and there is no one else around, we slow down and roll through the stop sign. We eschew seatbelt laws when we take short safe jaunts up the block. We let our kids do a little practice driving in the parking lot before they get their learners permit.
We don't recycle every time they tell us to. We top off the gas tank even though they tell us not to. If they announce they are going to illegalize normal light bulbs, we buy more, not less of them to stock up. If we think that gasoline will kill the poison ivy better than some biodegradable eco-approved watered down stuff, we use the gas. Even though certain states had anti-sodomy statutes on the books up until just a few years ago, gay people had sex in their homes all the time, and did not give a thought to the ordinances.
Businesses split in half so as to be qualified for small business exemptions from federal regulation. Farmers look the other way when they hire day laborers who clearly are not citizens. Federal regulators write their regulations, and financiers change their form of organization in unforeseen ways to avoid the regulations, even ones they pushed for.
George Soros delists his hedge fund to avoid rules his beneficiaries wrote. Businesses treat many regulations as cost of business and just pay the fine rather than incur extreme costs. Factories and labs create commonsense workarounds to arbitrary OSHA regulations.
And most people have absolutely no moral compunction about any of these violations of the either the spirit or the letter of the law, because deep down they no longer believe that the law, especially the tax code, represents any compelling moral principle, nor do its dictates seem any longer to be fair. They don't think their home state has earned taxes on the Amazon purchases or that it deserves any share of the mutually beneficial exchange between you and your dry wall guy.
I bet you can think of a few dozen more examples, and increasingly we're all in business and in personal life thinking of more and more ways to game a system which we have less and less faith in.
It's not civil disobedience that I'm talking about. It's the opposite: Civil disobedience is meant to be noticed. It is a price paid in the hope of creating social change. What I'm talking about is not based on hope; in fact, it has given up much hope on social change. It thinks the government is a colossal amoeba twitching mindlessly in response to tiny pinpricks of pain from an endless army of micro-brained interest groups. The point is not to teach the amoeba nor to guide it, but simply to stay away from the lethal stupidity of its pseudopods.
The amoeba does not get smarter but it does get hungrier and bigger. On the other hand, we get smarter. More and more of our life takes place outside of the amoeba's reach: in the privacy of our own homes, or in capital accounts in other nations, or in the fastest growing amoeba avoidance zone ever created, cyberspace. We revolt decision by decision, transaction by transaction, because we believe deep down that most of what government tells us to do is at bottom illegitimate.
It goes further.
When a cop stops me for speeding, I pay the fine without complaint. I knew that I was doing wrong and I got caught – cost of doing business.
My reaction is dependent of the laws being pretty sensible and applied reasonably fairly.
But more and more laws are both unfair, and worse, applied unfairly.
Witness Tim Geitner being one of the very few individuals whose "Turbo Tax" defense was accepted by the IRS (try that excuse and see how much leniency you get) and then confirmed as Sec. of the Treasury (and thus head of the IRS).
(Two weeks later Tom Daschle admitted understating his income by $128,000 and he too got a slap on the wrist. Have to wonder how many Washington insiders pay their full taxes?)
Compare their punishments to what you or I would experience at the hands of the IRS for similar transgressions.
What is the reaction to an ordinary individual when the IRS seizes his bank accounts, garnishes his wages (with the attendant humiliation and job jeopardy) and condemns him to years of penury through punitive fines and exorbitant interest rates?
Probably a deep sense of unfairness, anger and a desire to right that wrong.
Remember that small plane flying into the IRS building?
How many people read the news reports with a sense of approval?
Anecdotally, I have heard enough favorable comments to suggest that if pushed hard enough, there are other individuals who would contemplate similar acts of defiance.
The "Consent of the Governed" has to be earned every day by fair laws, applied evenly, and with a light hand.
We are moving away from those concepts and day by day, that consent is being withdrawn.
This is really pathetic. Bowyer is creating a fantasy in a doleful attempt to justify his earlier argument that an armed revolt is a viable option in the U.S.
People who take advantage of illegal aliens are not noble objectors taking a stand against government policy. They're dishonest cheats. The payroll taxes that they sleaze out of paying are used to pay Social Security and Medicare benefits to senior citizens. They pay under the table and avoid the payroll taxes and then collect their benes when they retire. This is not some noble revolt against an unjust system. This is a scum bag trying to get away with something.
Some people do have a complaint with our immigration laws. Farmers, landscaping companies and the hospitality industry would like to have more cheap labor. They wish for a change in the immigration laws. These people lobby Congress to permit more visas for low-skilled workers. This is how we do things here.
People who cheat on their income taxes are the same. They could lobby their governments to reduce spending, cut out road maintenance, police protection and national defense, but they don't. They're just weasels trying to get something for nothing, not gallant citizens standing up for the rights of the oppressed.
I don't know why you are so angry Snooki.
Bowyer asked some legitimate question; more he stirred up a debate – you certainly responded.
Re immigration. That is a complex question with no clear/easy solutions. Everybody will have to compromise, because we are not going to solve the problem by diktat – from the right or the left.
Re taxes. Something like 46% of the population pays no federal income taxes. A person who pays no taxes has little stake in the tax structure of this country (other than to vote for more benefits paid by others).
The tax system is broken; the complexity, manipulation and unfairness (see my comments above on Geitner and Daschle), discourage a sense fairness. Only the 46% who pay no taxes and the very rich can afford this system.
Re the Buffett Rule. Why focus on raising the everyone's taxes to the level of Buffett's secretary? Why not reduce everyone's taxes to Buffett's level?
Hey ChiGuy
Great off-topic comment, and I applaud your ability to repeat what you've heard from other people. One of the things that keep people reading Jerry's columns is his tendency to express original thoughts and ideas.
Before you go, please permit me to ask you a question meanwhile steering this conversation back to the topic of the column. You seem to feel dissatisfied with the tax code. Do you think that an armed revolt against the government is a good way to deal with your dissatisfaction?
I wonder if Snooki wears the Guy Fawkes mask while stalking you. lol
Snooki – you seem to have misread this article completely… Bowyer has stated that no group would seriously consider armed revolt against the military might of the US….
The true gist of this article is that the current administration has gone so "off track" that now people (like myself) are fed up… and will now begin to decide on a law by law basis which ones we can ignore, and which we must contest or accept. I have no intention whatsoever to abide by ObamaCare. I will pay the "penalty/TAX" when I get caught. I will not be bullied into subsidized socialized America and become DEPENDENT on a beauacracy to run my life.
I feel I can decide when my son is old enough to share a beer with me while watching a ballgame on TV, and I don't need a federal law to determine that for me. I may do it when he is 15 or I may never do it. It is my own personal choice to ignore this law regardless… if I do break that law and someone reports me for it, then we will address it in court… but so many of the REAL LIFE examples that Bowyer provides are factually there…. You single out IRS cheats, and hiring illegal aliens in your response… but they are no worse than others that you don't illuminate on… are you telling me you never speed? Do you know women who have multiple "baby daddys" and use the income subsidy they receive as their primary source of income? (I do!).
The point is, we are being over-regulated, over-watched, and over-protected by a federal administration that has gone to far… so yes, people like me will "gallantly defie" the rights of this stupid administration to try to shape my life. I will abide by the vast majority of laws because I believe they are just… but those that are against my personal beliefs I will ignore until caught.
ChristianConservative, this is a three part column. He started off with the premise "If you are a patriotic American, you believe that there are circumstances under which it is right to take up arms against your own government." Jerry then spent three columns trying to prove this claim.
I suggest that if you don't like laws being passed by the government, you work to change the administration. This is provided in the Constitution. Unless you've been in a coma for the past year, you would know that a lot of us are working hard trying to accomplish just that. Patriots realize that we don't have to take up arms to change the government. In fact, the government is us.
If you do not see what he is talking about then you are part of the problem. This is among the best series of articles I have ever read, and I read for a living, the equivalent of about 2 books a day. Law has become so all consuming and so opaque that it is long past the point of efficacy. It is like the idea that if everyone is special, then no one is. Read The Mystery of Capital. You will see that in smothering the country with laws we are actually becoming more lawless.
Yes, of course. What do you think the Declaration was all about?
Thanks for recognizing social insecurity for what it is: a giant Ponzi scheme.
The people who founded this formerly-free country certainly thought that an armed revolution was a good way to deal with their dissatisfaction. Makes sense given that that "tax code" (code name for theft) is enforced at the point of a gun.
Of course, if one happened to be a parasite that was benefiting from this system, that person would obviously have a vested interest in keeping the charade going and continuing to have the state extract wealth from those who actually produce.
"The government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul." – George Bernard Shaw
"snooki" (probably no chick) isn't angry, Snooki reeks of fear. Humanity has reached the edge of taking advantage of multiple others to profit one (if you can call big bank/capitalistic methodology "human"). It no longer works in a world overburdened by a population that is fed up, intelligent and ready to fight. BS rhetoric doesn't work, and, yes, in droves we are challenging the system quietly. Laws only work when the populace is compliant and the populace is not when it isn't a balanced and fair system. It is all but over. They have no response that can counter the truth.
I think that the author is saying that many people are dissatisfied and that will lead to an armed conflict. I personally think this can be avoided without bloodshed but some serious changes need to be made, not the baby steps governments are now making.
I think you did not read the article and therefore a troll or you are as smart as the real snooki. Your first comment stated that those that hire illegals are terrible thieves and this isn't a noble revolt. The author made that very point too. This isn't civil disobedience, which would be the noble motive. It is the opposite, and that we all do it. In fact, I think bullying is now a crime, not sure what level misdemeanor or felony but I would think stalking and/or trolling fit into that category. Therefore, are you a criminal or a moron? Orange jumper or Orange face?
I think that there were two items missing from our Constitution originally.
One should be transparency. All communication to or from a government sponsoring organization should be made public. National security matters can coded by levels set by Congress and kept from the public for the number of years set for that level by Congress not to exceed 20 years. The statute of limitations starts when the term for confidentiality expires. Anyone caught willfully destroying any communication will be held for treason and negligence will be punishable by a lesser crime.
Second, when we established term limits on the President, we needed the same for members of Congress. They don't need to be there for their entire career. They just become the new aristocracy.
I think that Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Paul Revere, etc. would disagree with you.
I obey the laws I choose to obey, when I choose to obey them. My choice is based on whether the law or regulation is in violation of common sense, and whether or not the lawmakers actually understood and read the bill they voted for. I'm not sure how long I and many others will be able to continue discreetly living this way.
Here's the text of a sign hanging on the back of my car:
Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional "laws" or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.
A slight variation on the "I withdraw my consent" theme is President Barack Obama. Having sworn to uphold the Constitution, he refuses to enforce DOMA because he doesn't like it. Apparently executive privilege is all he believes in anymore. . . .
Hello Mr. Bowyer; you are so very right. It's good to hear someone tell the truth rather than be vassal to pretense. I immigrated from France to Exceptional America over 30 years ago, in order to run away from the very cancer infecting America now. The French have always cheated on their taxes because they've been taxed since the Romans 2000+ yrs ago… The more the gov clamps on us, the more we'll resourcefully figure out how to escape tyranny; and consequently, the more gov will trump on our liberties. Hayek described the process in "The Road to Serfdom", socialism always leads to tyranny because of the very reasons you describe.
How true.
I know people in San Francisco that teach people how to avoid paying parking tickets, the parking behemoth long ago stopped being a useful municipal tool for clearing a street for street cleaning and now exist simply for collecting fines to exist.
I know people in CA that routinely carry a concealed handgun, they have a license in Nevada, in AZ, in Oregon- but the Jim Crow era gun license law in CA is still there, only the well connected in SF or Marin can get a license to carry, and they are not vets or working people, they're the people that can afford massive "contributions" to reelect the Sheriff.
Speed limits on many many highways are only there for revenue, not for safety.
I personally have to stock up on sudi-fed, I live very rural so I cant buy it when I need it but neither can I buy extra. The law says I have to wait a certain amount of time in between buying due to criminals manufacturing drugs. The criminals keep on manufacturing drugs but that doesn't mean the law is repealed, even though it is a useless annoying law.
Speaking of drugs, now the cops can kick in your door and rough you up/kill you if you resist – even when it turns out to be the wrong address – due to stupid drug laws. Drug testing, a garbage collector has to be drug tested but not the President? Not Congress? Why?
It's getting harder and harder to fly below the radar, especially considering that drones will soon be with us. After I lost my last job and found no place will even consider hiring someone my age (75), I decided to go Gault and just disappear into my own little world, grow my veggies and grass-fed beef, collect my social security check which is not welfare since I paid into the fund for 50 years and so did my late husband who didn't live long enough to collect anything, and have no reportable income. If the government could collect nothing from anyone, it would starve the beast, and eventually the beast would die, along with those who suckle off it.
Excellent article, Jerry. Thanks!
I think we are at a crossroads in this country. If people go around breaking small laws like speeding and whatnot, that's not a big deal in terms of the greater picture. But as more people disobey more significant (bad) laws, the risk is that law won't be respected whatsoever. I mean, at this point I !@$%ing hate the government—anything from the TSA to the DMV to foreign aid to the fact that they can't even repave a road properly. I think people like me are in the minority, but maybe not for long.
I obey natural law. The law of gravity. The speed of light. As to the rest? I'm a Jeffersonian:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." — Thomas Jefferson
Bowyer just put into print what millions of Americans have been doing. Some for years. One thing he didn't touch on is the ol' fashioned practice of "Barter".
Yea it is alive and well in many places all over this republic. I think mainly in the southern states including my home state of Texas.
Of course this is all underground so to speak, off the radar, on the sly, but still out in the public. If you want something, can't afford it or just want to barter, that is the way deals are negotiated or struck most of the time.
Trading stuff or labor is common among the poorer or older people around where I live, and I believe it is increasing year by year. It is the world's oldest method of getting stuff or getting something done.
Try it, it is a skill that has to be developed but well worth it if you have skills or talent to trade. And it is not illegal.
As to the other, here is a little quote. Most don't like me to leave it around the net, calling me names (hey!!! snooki) but I think it is becoming more real every year in this Republic that Americans live in. It is something that no one wants or even wants to think about but it may be someday the last resort.
"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."
2009 Judge Alex Kozinski
This is a brilliant call to arms, on a level with "Common Sense" written by Paine in 1776.
You absolutely nailed it Jerry!! And I find chiguy31′s comments to be spot on as well. I thought I was the only one, regarding the IRS building plane crash, to have such feelings. I've been in business for over 30 years. The past 7 years I have had enraging experiences that put me in the same camp as you folks. Thank God we're getting wind of what's happening and we have the same perspective on it all. I don't know if we can change the tide, but, we can at least try.
This is a depressing article. Along with the '700 Club' item today about the Gibson Guitar Co. 3 AM raid and confiscation of tools, computers and inventory (with as yet NO CHARGES FILED), our sense of justice and liberty and faith in our system is sorely grieved.
Famous, heroic psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich, MD, escaped the clutches of the Nazis, then escaped the clutches of the Communists, then rescued came to the liberty and safety of a New England farm only to be imprisoned by the F.D.A. and die in a federal prison.
I believe it was Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who said, "Just as I am obliged to obey just laws, one is bound to disobey unjust laws." Something like that. Isn't THAT what we need to do, and serve God wherever He puts us?
Dear Lord, Creator of all that is, was, and ever will be, please hedge around Your city on the hill, and restore our nation, dedicated to You in Jesus' name. Amen.
There have always been dead-letter laws that citizens do not obey and police do not enforce. This discretion is what has made the burden of sodomy laws, laws equating pi to 3, and laws requiring a man with a lantern to go in front of an automobile, tolerable in society. They are ignored by everyone except for the compilers of 'books of silly laws' which come out on a yearly basis.
Discretion is the oil that keeps any lawful society running.
I once read a book in which a (fictional) police officer on a ship was commended for "turning a blind eye to the ancient usages and customs while enforcing those regulations truly critical to ship discipline". That book was written in 1953.
So dead letter laws are nothing new. The problem is, there are so MANY of them these days they foster a contempt for law in general.
Mr. Bowyer makes the same MISTAKE that many make regarding this subject — that is, they confuse the concepts of "civil disobedience" and "armed overthrow of the government". They are two TOTALLY different things. He started off this series by asking whether we could/should have a second revolution, meaning a second "armed overthrow of the government". Then, in this last segment, he changes the use of the word "revolt(revolution)" to mean mere "civil disobedience". I don't know anyone who would say that "civil disobedience" is not called for under certain circumstances, including 99.99% of all pastors! However, there are few people, and even fewer Christians, who would advocate an "armed overthrow of the government" under ANY circumstances. Yet, an "armed overthrow of the government" is EXACTLY what our Founders did and EXACTLY what we celebrate on July 4th.
I question the constitutionality of complicated laws that only a lawyer might understand. In the computer world we call this KISS. That stands for Keep It Simple Stupid!
We have evolved a system of law in which Paladins represent people in the courts. These Paladins are competent persuaders. So the people that can afford these Paladins get their way in a court room. We call these Paladins lawyers or attorneys. Rich people can afford Paladins. Poor people not so much. This is a form of anarchy in favor of people of wealth.
The IRS and EPA both subscribe to complicated and often confusing bureaucratic laws and procedures that even their own people have difficulty keeping straight.
An author of Christian Financial Books wanted to research the EPA laws. So he asked the EPA to send him a copy of the laws. Fully expecting a small parcel in the mail. It took 3 semitrucks loaded full to send him the material he asked for.
The IRS foolishly volunteered to answer questions over the phone for people filling out their forms a few years ago. 6 out of 10 answers were wrong! If the IRS people cannot keep it straight, how in the world can the general public keep it straight?
KISS. From that stand point I can see why laws are frequently disobeyed.
In my youth, it was illegal for me to have a beer before the age of 18. But it was not illegal for me to be drafted, sent into harm's way, and treated as an adult at 17. Most states have laws on the books making 21 the legal drinking age now. It is not illegal for a woman to have a baby at 18. It is illegal for them to have a drink. If you are an adult, you are an adult with adult responsibilities. To me these laws make little sense.
We once had a law called the Interstate Commerce Act. Supposedly if you did not have a occupied building in the state you are sending it to, the state had no right to double taxation. The internet has made this law trash. KISS.
The concept of governing sexual choices in human relations is valid. But only because those relationships effect other people's healths. Disease runs wild in communities where sexual mores are not in force. Yet even there, KISS should apply. Making laws that are too complicated for people to really understand will make for rebellion. Not violent rebellion. That is stupid. I speak of individual choices to ignore laws that are frequently not enforceable.
That is why complicated laws that no one really understands are not enforceable. These laws discriminate. Therefore because they discriminate, they are really unconstitutional anyway.
Jerry is on to something. But let's refine the search. There must be a hierarchy of values one either follows or disregards, either out of solidly grounded common sense, or one's informed and educated conscience, i.e., moral development. Personal safety and protection, e.g., rolling through stop signs at night, could be fatal if one misjudges or fails to notice danger, such as a car without its headlights, etc. That's a common sense issue. Teaching your kid to drive in an empty parking lot without a permit makes sense to me. I prefer a somewhat experienced new driver than the newly minted licensee who has the minimum BTW training.
Paying fines rather than follow ridiculous state legislation is practical business sense. How about hiring illegals? Definite gray area. Persuasive arguments exist on both sides. So this is a personal moral decision. One just has to prepare to accept the consequences in a still evolving, selfish, and often very unjust society.
When a grass roots movement spreads and gathers momentum and following, that is a sure sign that what it is rebelling against or seeking to change is in need of change.

This paper presents an overview of the Medicare reform debate. I begin by reviewing some of the features of Medicare and then turn to a discussion of reforms, both on the benefits side and on the financing side of the program. The reform proposals raise difficult policy and political issues, and could have important implications for the federal budget, the efficiency of the health sector, and the well-being of the elderly and disabled.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The man accused of shooting a woman and her three daughters at a Madison apartment complex could be returned to Nashville as early as Monday.
39-year old Earnest Woodley, aka Costosteno Earnest Moore, surrendered to police in Memphis around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. He was booked into the Shelby County Jail.
The shootings happened Friday at the Brinkhaven Apartments, just off Gallatin Pike. Police said Woodley shot his girlfriend, and then shot her three teenage daughters, following an argument.
The victims were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in stable condition.
Witnesses reported Moore ran barefoot into a wooded area after the shootings. Officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department spent several hours searching for Woodley, but he somehow made his way to Memphis.
"You never know why someone turns themselves in," said Chip Washington with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. "Maybe someone exercised some common sense and said, 'You know what, you need to turn yourself in, and deal with what comes next.'"
Domestic Violence Detectives in Nashville issued arrest warrants charging Woodley with four counts of attempted homicide and four counts of aggravated assault.
Memphis television station WREG-TV tracked down Woodley's family. They didn't want to speak on camera, but told WREG's reporter that Woodley is Schizophrenic and Bipolar.
Police said Woodley has a lengthy criminal history, including a conviction for second-degree murder nearly 23 years ago. His parole expired in 2010.

Whit's Knits: Bulky Baby Blankets
I love thick and squishy baby blankets. They keep babies cozy in cold weather, of course, and they're fast to knit, which is always a welcome bonus; but, best of all, they are perfect floor mats for young babies who haven't yet discovered their locomotive skills. I'm always reaching for the plushest blankets I have so I can set Bear down wherever I need to be. I get to keep an eye on him, and he gets to experience new vantage points from his luxurious travelling rugs.
Spud & Chloe's Outer is the ultimate yarn for this purpose. A blend of superwash wool and organic cotton, it is honestly soft enough for sensitive baby skin. It makes a bulky blanket with wonderful loft and padding, as well as rustic beauty.
The borders are made out of Spud & Chloe's Sweater yarn doubled. Also a superwash wool/cotton blend, I used it because it comes in lots of great, kicky colors and gives a nice neat finish to the edges.

For the 2008 model year of the Suzuki DR-Z off-road bike – designed specifically for unpaved roads – Japanese manufacturer Suzuki Motor Corp. provided three models: DR-Z 70, DR-Z 125 and DR-Z 125L. The manufacturer's suggested retail prices for the 2008 DR-Z are $1,499 for the DR-Z 70, $2,399 for the DR-Z 125, and $2,599 for the DR-Z 125L.
The 2008 Suzuki DR-Z is powered by a four-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, with a 67-cubic centimeter (cc) displacement on the DR-Z 70 and 124 cc on the DR-Z 125 models. Two intake valves go on the engine's cylinder, and the entire unit is fueled by a carburetor. On the DR-Z 70, the engine is paired with a three-speed gearbox with a manual/automatic clutch. The DR-Z 125 models get a five-speed manual transmission instead. Peak fuel capacity is 0.8 gallons (3 liters) on the DR-Z 70, and 1.7 gallons (6.6 l) on the DR-Z 125 variants with a 0.4-gallon (1.7-l) reserve.
For braking, the DR-Z 70 and DR-Z 125 models of the 2008 Suzuki DR-Z use all-wheel drum brakes. However, the DR-Z 125L uses a disc brake at the front, thus enhancing its stopping power. The type and size of wheels vary from model to model. The DR-Z 70 uses 10-inch steel wheels. The DR-Z 125 rides on 17-inch front and 14-inch rear aluminum wheels. The DR-Z 125L also uses aluminum wheels, but they are 19 inches at the front and 16 inches at the back.
Built with a sturdy steel frame, the 2008 Suzuki DR-Z is available in Black or Champion Yellow color scheme, complete with a decal kit. In addition to being the smallest of the three variants, the DR-Z 70 is the lightest, with a dry weight of 116 lbs. (52.5 kilograms). The dry weight stats of the other models are 174 lbs. (79 kg) for the DR-Z 125 and 176 lbs. (80 kg) for the DR-Z 125L.
Like its immediate predecessors, the 2008 Suzuki DR-Z maintained the nameplate's reputation as an affordable and high-performing off-road bike. It is also a versatile brand, with the DR-Z 70 recommended for more casual riders and the DR-125 series more suitable for performance enthusiasts.

Lexington seeks long-term solution for football coach
Mon. April 29, 2013 at 11:29 p.m. | By Mike Duprez
The last thing Travis Taylor expected to be involved in now is the search for a new football coach.
After all, the Lexington Senior High School principal just went through that last year. But he's having to do it all over again due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of Kwayu Graham after just one season in the head coaching position.
"It's always tough when you lose personnel, particularly when it's a head coach, absolutely," Taylor said.
Lexington took applications through Friday. A committee led by Taylor and athletic director Ronnie Beverly, a star running back on Lexington's state championship teams in 1985 and 1986, will sift through the applications, conduct interviews and make a recommendation to Lexington City Schools Superintendent Rick Kriesky, who will then make a final decision and present that to the school board for approval.
Whoever is hired will be Lexington's fourth coach in the last five years, a trend Taylor wants to change. He would prefer a long-term solution.
"By all means," Taylor said. "Someone who can build a program with quality athletes and quality students."
Until several weeks ago, searching for a new coach wouldn't have seemed necessary.
But then Graham resigned. Though his team struggled through a 3-8 season and did not qualify for the 2-A state playoffs, Graham wasn't forced out.
"No, this was my decision," Graham said. "When you look at it, where I was at in my career and how long it was going to take … just a lot of things came into it. As I said in the previous interview (when he resigned), I love it here. This is a great place. They have supported me since I've been here, the fans and the community.
"It's just at this time of my career … You've established a career that you're on the upswing, and you have that battle where you have to decide what is more feasible. I think Lexington and Lexington City Schools are heading in the right direction. It's going to take a lot of time. I just didn't know whether I could wait that time at this point in my career."
Graham, 43, said he is looking into other opportunities.
"I think Lexington lost a very, very good football coach," said former Lexington coach and Tennessee native Joe Gaddis, who brought Graham to Lexington as his defensive coordinator in 2010, "a coach who I think would do anything for any player. I have never been around a coach who worked as hard to help players academically and to get to the next level as Kwayu Graham."
But not everything was sunny as Graham spoke at length about what he saw as a "split" when it came to Lexington's fan base.
"Unknowingly to me, I came into a situation that was very cloudy," Graham said. "It's a Tennessee/North Carolina deal. Friends, coaches. Coaches were split. It was not hostile or disrespectful or anything like that. But you never could get on the same page."
Not everyone sees it that way.
"I think the students of Lexington and the community of Lexington would expect that we would search and try to find the best possible candidate for any of our open positions, whether it be in the classroom or whether it be on the coaching field," Kriesky said. "I don't think of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina or any other geographical considerations in people's jobs before they got to Lexington. That doesn't come into play when we interview. Coach Graham's comments reflect his feelings, and everyone is entitled to their own perception of the environment they work in."
Gaddis, who worked for Kriesky in Tennessee, said, "I heard that a split was there, but I never really felt it."
Lexington City Councilman Frank Callicutt, a Lexington Senior graduate and prominent Lexington Booster Club member, alluded to the presence of a split but for different reasons.
"When you win three games with the talent we have, sure you're going to have a split," Callicutt said. "I thought it was really immature for him to say that. I've got friends who think Carolina should fire Roy Williams.
"You're never going to get a hundred percent support. You're going to get that as a head coach, and you work through it. He didn't have a hundred percent where he came from."
The whole chain of events took shape in the aftermath of former coach Chris Deal's third season in 2009. Deal went 3-8 in 2007 then led the Jackets to an 8-5 mark and the second round of the state playoffs in 2008. Lexington also won its first home playoff game since 2002.
In 2009, Lexington had a so-so 5-6 regular season but caught fire in the playoffs. The Jackets rallied from 21-0 down in the third quarter to beat Starmount 22-21 in the second round and then beat Thomasville 28-26 in the third round to end a 16-game losing streak against their archrivals. Deal received several offers from other schools and departed for new school Patton, which was near his wife's family.
Kriesky brought in Gaddis, who had impeccable credentials. Gaddis had 237 career wins and a state championship on his record. He also brought along Graham, who made the unusual move of resigning after five years as a successful head coach to be a coordinator.
"Joe Gaddis was my high school coach, and I always wanted to coach with him," Graham said.
Graham was 42-21 as a head coach at Austin East High School in Knoxville, so together the coaches brought a combined 279 wins to Lexington. But the success didn't translate as well here.
Lexington went 7-6 in Gaddis' first year and lost in the second round of the playoffs. In 2011, Lexington was 4-7 and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Gaddis then returned to Tennessee for another head coaching job, citing a desire to be around his daughter and grandchildren.
That left the position open for Graham, who was hesitant to apply at first but then eventually did.
"It is what it is," Graham said. "Joe tried it for a couple of years, and Joe said, 'I can't get it to turn.' I wasn't going to apply. I had to decide if I was willing to spend the time, and I was wrong, and I made the wrong decision. Maybe if I'm gone, that will be the last of that (Tennessee) group. A lot of people were upset when coach Gaddis left. I'm connected to Joe Gaddis. There's a connection and maybe if the connection is gone, the flowers will bloom and maybe they'll grow."
Gaddis denied saying he couldn't get the program to turn.
"I don't recall saying that," Gaddis said. "The reasons I left were pretty well documented. I had an opportunity to get back where I can be around my daughter and my grandchildren. That's why I left. I wasn't going to leave after a year or two, which I ultimately did. There are certain frustrations with any job. There isn't anywhere you coach where it's perfect."
Movement among coaches is hardly unique to Deal, Gaddis and Graham. Ironically, Deal and Gaddis both stayed at Lexington longer than their next jobs. Deal left Patton after one season to become the offensive coordinator at Emerald High School in Greenwood, S.C. Gaddis spent one season at Peabody High School in Trenton, Tenn., where he went 9-4 and won a district championship. But Gaddis left there in March to return to Oak Ridge, where he won 119 games from 1988-98 and a state championship.
None of that was lost upon Kriesky, himself a former football coach.
"Not everyone we hire whether it's a coach, whether it's a chemistry teacher, whether it's a first-grade teacher or a teaching assistant, if they leave after a brief period of time, it's very disappointing," Kriesky said. "But we know we're in a transient business, and we try very hard to recruit and hire people who will invest in Lexington as a place to work."
Taylor has seen plenty of that himself.
"It does happen," he said. "People get a chance for advancement, and they take it."
Taylor and Beverly will now go over the applications as Lexington moves forward.
"We have received a lot of applications," Taylor said.
A thread on the message board coachT.com made reference to a rumor of Graham rejoining Gaddis in Oak Ridge. But neither Graham nor Gaddis would confirm that.
"We wish him all the best," Kriesky said. "We thank him for his service to Lexington City Schools. Our athletic director and principal are conducting a search now, and I'm sure they will find an excellent replacement for coach Graham. We wish him the best. He had a lot of success before he got to Lexington, and I'm sure he will enjoy success the rest of his coaching career."
Taylor said the school hoped to have a new coach in place by June 1.

Linus Omark remains AWOL, with no word from the Sabres today on their plan for the winger who has not accepted his demotion to Rochester.
Omark previously stated a desire to play in his homeland of Sweden rather than the minor leagues, and NSD newspaper in Sweden said today the 27-year-old is trying to sign with Lulea. Omark played for the club in the Swedish elite league from 2005 to 2009.
Omark's agent told The News on Thursday night that he hopes to find a resolution in the next few days. Due to transfer agreements, Omark cannot play overseas without the Sabres' consent.

A blog for and about people who live in the city. A place for news and commentary about Milwaukee neighborhoods, government and urban life
City's pension plan has no investments with major gun firms
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has asked the city's pension fund managers to determine whether the city has investments in assault weapons manufacturers and sellers.
Evidently they do. Chicago City Comptroller Amer Ahmad told the Chicago Tribune that city pension funds do have investments in various investment pools that hold stock in companies that manufacture or sell assault weapons.
Emanuel has since said that the city ought to divest those holdings.
Which raises the question: What about Milwaukee's $4.1 billion Employees Retirement System?
Tom Rick, chief investment officer for the city plan, said the city did not hold any stocks in such well-known firms as Smith & Wesson, Sturm, Ruger & Company, Alliant and Olin Corp.
"We do not hold any of these stocks within our individually managed stock and bond portfolios," he said in an email.
Moreover, some of the other major gun manufacturers, such as Remington, Bushmaster, and Marlin are owned by Cerberus. Cerberus is a private equity investment management firm and those holdings are not traded publicly. And the city has no investments in Cerberus.

Emanuel has since said that the city ought to divest those holdings."
Reminds me of the Chicago alderclown who tried to block a Chick-fil-A restaurant from his district because of the owner's stance on gay marriage.
Emanuel supported that, too -- Chick-fil-A "does not represent Chicago values" (or something like that) -- until he realized how monumentally stupid he sounded.
Let's look at this politically opportunistic, agenda-driven nonsense from a different perspective:
Should public unions have pension programs that include holdings in pharmaceutical companies that manfacture birth control or morning-after pills? Alcoholic beverages? Companies that produce violence-laden movies or video games?

The first thing you must do for your NCAA Basketball Tournament box pool is to create the boxes. This is done by drawing lines until you have 10 rows going across and 10 rows going down, for a total of 100 boxes. When you are finished, your pool should resemble the one above.
Be sure to label one team at the top of the boxes and the other team going diagonal down the left-hand side of the grid. This is so potential players know which team will correspond to each number that will be drawn. If the teams are still unknown when you create the pool, you can always identify them by bracket region, such as East/West and South/Midwest. That way everybody will know which team will go be placed where on the pool.
Make sure to leave enough room for signatures.

Debate continues over emergency medical dispatchers
Listen to the story
Local lawmakers and law enforcement continue to iron out the details of the franchise agreement with the Reno Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA). Making changes to emergency medical dispatching was one of the topics of Tuesday's meeting of Washoe County Commissioners.
Many of the biggest obstacles to better coordinating the region's emergency response system are technical. REMSA and Washoe County, as well as the City of Reno, are in the process of integrating their systems, so that they can collect data and respond more efficiently. Officials say much of that should be up and running within a year.
One of the last sticking points, however, is the question: who should answer emergency medical calls?
Currently, 911 calls go to the dispatch center first and then the medical ones are transferred over to REMSA.
REMSA would like to keep that system in place.
But Charlie Moore, who is fire chief for the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, says handing over the call to REMSA can create an extra step, especially if fire and police have to be involved, as well.
"And there's this back and forth that is really what troubles the fire chiefs. It seems like it's inefficient, and I believe it's inefficient."
Moore and others say it shouldn't matter who responds to the call because dispatchers follow a very specific script.
Commissioner Marsha Berkbigler says she would like to see the system stay the same.
"Statistically there may be no evidence that having a paramedic or a nurse answer a call is not a better way to do it. Since we already have that in place, that seems to be a better way to do it for this community."
No decisions will be made yet. The commission made a motion for the Washoe County Sheriff's Office to continue working on the plan over the coming months.

NOS4A2 is the kind of novel I think people have been waiting for Joe Hill to write. I think they were expecting it to come along sooner; directly after the one-two punch of 20th Century Ghosts and Heart-Shaped Box, perhaps, and certainly after we all found out that Hill's dad is that Stephen King fella from Maine. Instead, Heart-Shaped Box begat Horns, a book that was something of a curve in the road, an existential left turn that was well received but still caught us by surprise.
Now, when none of us were sure what to expect next, Hill comes at us with another straight-up horror novel, a sometimes hopeful, sometimes nasty piece of work that shows he's not only willing to embrace the genre, but fully equipped to expand it beyond its own bounds.
NOS4A2 is the story of Victoria "Vic" McQueen, a young woman who discovers early in life that she can travel anywhere she wants by crossing a rickety wooden bridge that she summons at will. It's the story of Charles Manx, an ageless predator who feeds on the souls of children, taking them to a place of misery and darkness that he calls Christmasland. It's the story of The Wraith, a classic Rolls-Royce that does Manx's bidding. It's the story of a desperate man named Bing, a good man named Lou, and a lost boy named Wayne. It's the sum of Hill's influences, the culmination of his growth as a writer thus far, and, most importantly, one helluva good read.
Hill's growth, honed via those early novels as well as the ongoing comic book he writes, Locke & Key, is quickly evident. Heart-Shaped Box was a solid effort, the work of a natural talent feeling his way through the process. With Horns, it was like you could see Hill at work, sweating out sentences, rearranging words, trying to be a WRITER. With NOS4A2, Hill has at last made the transition to effortless storyteller. Instead of feeling like a work that Hill had to labor over, this novel unspools smoothly and effortlessly.
In a book this size (over 680 pages), it's good to have a varied and interesting cast, and in this Hill does not disappoint. The heroes are flawed and relatable, ultimately likeable even as they remain miles from perfect. The villains would fit right into one of Hill's beloved comics (Manx's weapon of choice is a silver autopsy hammer, and Bing, Manx's own Igor, often wears a gas mask to do his dirty work), yet Hill manages to ground them in heartbreaking reality. This kind of character work is vital to a piece of horror fiction – without it, you're left reading the equivalent of a Friday the 13th novelization.
As people read NOS4A2, there will inevitably be parallels drawn to the work that Hill's father has done. Whereas Hill spent the early part of his career dodging such comparisons, here he encourages them. The Wraith could be the kind of car driven by low men in yellow coats, or a distant cousin of Christine. There are mentions of Pennywise, that awful clown, and a nod or two to elements of King's upcoming Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep. There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to Hill's own Locke & Key. Is he telling us that his universe is part of King's, one giant playground for the two of them to stomp around in? It certainly seems that way, and I'm glad to see that he's gained the confidence to fully embrace his roots.
NOS4A2 is a signal that Hill has settled into his own abilities, got his tools in order, and is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work. It's an amazing burst of pure imagination, a novel that simultaneously feels hopelessly bleak and endlessly hopeful. It's also a sign of great things yet to come from Hill. I, for one, am more than happy to join him for what I hope is a long, demented ride.

Introduction to a WordPress application's frontend
This article written by Rakhitha Nimesh Ratnayake, the author of the book WordPress Web Application Development, focuses on the extendable capabilities of themes while exploring the roles of the theme files for web applications.
WordPress powers its frontend with a concept called themes, which consist of a set of predefined template files to match the structure of the default website layouts. In contrast to web applications, a WordPress theme works in a unique way. Preparing a theme for web applications can be one of the more complicated tasks that is not discussed widely in the WordPress development community. Usually, web applications are associated with unique templates, which are entirely different from the default page-based nature of websites.Read Introduction to a WordPress application's frontend in full

That is so sad.......to fight such a hard battle and still lose. RIP
Wow. They weren't kidding when they made that announcement.
RIP to a strong, courageous woman who never gave up, even in the face of shame and humiliation.
Wow. So sad. But considering how her life has been in the past few years, being humiliated in the worst way possible and then having to deal with terminal cancer, I hope she is in a better place now. I feel awful for her young kids.

Wow, this is such sad news. I also really feel so terrible for her children. Here hoping (probably in vain) that the tabloids will leave the kids alone.
Although I was expecting to hear news of her death soon, I am very surprised it happened only a day after the statement that was given out yesterday and the posting on her Facebook account. Perhaps it was something she wrote in advance to have published when they knew the end was near?
I meant to take the high road.... but I missed the exit.
So very sad.
Haunting the Princess of Pink since 20/07/11...
She kept her dignity all throughout the cancer battle, even when it was revealed that her husband finally admitted that he is the father of Brielle Hunter's kid. Elizabeth Edwards was an amazing woman. RIP.
I dont knwo why this one is affecting me as it is- maybe becasue my mum is 63 and also 'elizabeth'- i read up on her and waht she had been through- the loss of her son, she had her youngest children at 48 and 50 years old , the the presidential election, cancer, affairs.... yikes if anyone deserved a break it was her-
i look forward to the day without this awful disease.... my thoughts are with ehr family ans especially her kids- no child should have to loose their mum that early-
She had such dignity. RIP, Elizabeth.
Her strength through all of the things that came her way over the last 5+ years, is really inspiring. I admire the way she handled everything, and kept her head held high.
I'm also not surprised that Edwards passed away so quickly after declaring she wanted no more treatment. Exact same thing just happened to my aunt. She hadn't spoken in days, and then one day she finally spoke up. She said she wanted no more treatment, and was ready to go. And then she was gone.
RIP Elizabeth. Her two youngest children are so young to lose their mother. My heart goes out to them and to her eldest daughter. They're going to need their father more than ever now. Here's hoping he's up to the challenge.
Read a report today that she will be buried next to her son. This is very sad.
Her son is dead? OK, I see that he was killed in a car crash. So she had endured that, her marital troubles and cancer. Wow.
