In my post entitled "Ted Nugent is a Coward and An Idiot", my opening paragraph made no bones about my stooping to the level of name calling but when the shoe fits, I stated "I am no different from the masses when it comes to doing so."
When an American citizen of privilege such as Ted Nugent, stops just short of telling an organized body steeped in hatred towards our President," that justice and assassination are the same", then that person in any book should be called an idiot and a coward regardless of the Party affiliation of our President and who the acting President is in The United States of America. I do not believe that to be a long shot in opinion amongst any of us who are truly dedicated to American Decency and Democracy.
I normally do not answer my critics but anytime I get a chance to educate the American public I will take time to do so. Douglas Wagaman on face book said in regard to my post of the above title and I quote it here: "I had to laugh when I read this piece. The author complains about hate, racism, and rhetoric while using the term "redneck" over and over to describe the people with different beliefs and values. Nicely done. Lol "
When I read that quote by Douglas Wagaman on Face book, I smiled to myself and thought," clearly Douglas and friends do not know any true Rednecks." If I hadn't of spent so many years, myself, living around and in the vicinity of and amongst true Rednecks and listening to their conversations while watching their behavior, I would have thought exactly as you did, Douglas. Every time I tried to get an individual who promoted the negative views I reported in my post to understand a different perspective all I ever heard back was, " I am a Redneck and proud of it." I would estimate over the years, I made that attempt close to a hundred times on at least as many different people or maybe even more.
I am not a shy violet who is afraid to take on controversy. Since I had the experience and heard their beliefs repeated endlessly I am able to clearly define them as Rednecks, since that is how they wish to define themselves. Terminology just like our diet and food favorites vary greatly in the different cultures across America. I should have known better and explained clearer the definition of a true redneck in my neck of the woods.
These many differences in how we view ourselves and the World becomes very prominent to all of us who do make a point of exposing ourselves to different cultures and beliefs while educating ourselves in the Diversity across America. None of us will ever get it 100% correct, myself included, as the differences of our experiences that teach us remain personal with too many amongst us, but at the very least, 100% of us can commit to the efforts of understanding the diversity that is America and the foundation of Democracy.
I, myself,am willing to bet the great majority of Americans would agree; America was never intended to be a Country with a ruling class of elitist served by the lower working class of workers minus an entire middle class. That idea was promoted and pushed during the 1800′s during the Industrial Revolution of the North.
The bosses hired Pennington Guards to shoot and kill any Union organizers who tried to come in and help the workers circumstances and wages improve. It would not be until after World War 2 that America would have a viable middle class thanks to the GI program and Democrats Roosevelt's and Truman's administrations. Just as the John Birch Society who ran Barry Goldwater's campaign in the 1960s believed Democracy was not the intent of our Founding Fathers so do Patriot groups along with many in the Tea Party, believe the same today.
Grover Norquist was an aide under Barry Goldwater and a big supporter of the John Birch Society. Today he has a think tank that he funnels money through to Conservative and Tea Party candidates. No Republican can get elected without first going through Grover Norquist. Every Republican must sign a pledge not to raise taxes on the elitists or lose their bid for office but he gave his o.k. to raise taxes on the middle class. How many of us think that anyone but the Conservative and Tea Party members and their paid for media were really upset when IRS decided to check out his tax free exemption?
We fought the biggest and most deadliest war called the Civil War in our history, for Democracy. We have throughout History lost many of our brave young men and women in defense of oppression against our allies around the World. No Family other than perhaps some of the elitists have been spared from deaths of War. The Civil War established that America would not tolerate oppression of the Constitution and of it's people. As A Nation founded on the principle of equality for all under our Constitution we would be a Nation of Free people and that is what was the intent of our Founding Fathers all along.
It would not be until the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1971 that minorities and women would be given the full rights under the law and both are still having to fight the Tea Party and Conservatives for those equal rights yet in 2013. Do we really have to ask if it is truly wrong to suggest that other beliefs and value systems may still be unjust in a Country that prides itself on having the best Democracy in the World?
Although I do not agree with the politics of the Deep South either, it does not prevent me from looking forward to their gracious hospitality each time I travel there. I find the people who live in the region, in many incidences, to be the mirror of what the rest of us should look into once we remove the politics from the fray. I find much more prejudice exists in the North, East Coast, Mid West, Bread Basket and intermingled to too large of a degree in the South West and West Coast than what is apparent in the South each time I visit. I have always enjoyed the Diversity of Americans and view it as one of the greatest selling tools that makes up American Democracy.
I, personally, encourage everyone who have pre-conceived notions without the facts to educate themselves on the differences that make our Nation great. I certainly do not applaud nor will I ever support those who would subject their hatred and rhetoric on to other American citizens while using fear tactics in the process.
What I have found to be true once I let go of my own pre-conceived notions is that there are a great deal of commonalities that do exist amongst all of us when we make the effort to accept our differences and to rid ourselves of our own ignorance that is behind most hate. I have no doubt that all of us who look for unity will find that the goodness in the American people does out-weigh the hate that we hear. As is true, too many times, the good often gets buried under the manufactured or bad news that gets reported.
Unfortunately no one knows or understands better than the well financed and powerful political machines at work in America who often hide behind Social Ideology or Religious Freedom, when they are anything but political, that the actions of, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall", have proven itself to be true since the beginning of mankind. We find these political entities, backed by their own media, while they deliberately drive the wedge not just between the American people but also in the GOP that blames our President for the lack of their own Leadership or ability to compromise in their own Party, in Congress specifically, but also at work amongst us in our own environment.
Believe me ,Douglas, the term "redneck", is not one of my own. The true redneck believes as I stated they do in my post entitled "Ted Nugent is an Idiot and a Coward," in my neck of the woods.
Just as the White Supremacists, Skin Heads, and members of any other hate groups who number in the 1000 plus range in America and who think of themselves as victims or superior to other races or sexual orientations are proud to be a member of their group so is a true Redneck proud to be a Redneck.
They are equally as proud of their belief system, racial slurs and gay bashing. I did not pigeon-hole the Redneck belief system nor their long held beliefs against change and diversity in my area of the Nation. I did not make up this belief system but instead the people involved did it long before I wrote my post and I only reported the same.
Like any other group that takes pride in defining themselves the true redneck does as well. They do make up part of the culture of America. They like all other groups pigeon-hole themselves into the narrow views that exist amongst them just as the radical members of both the NRA and or any other group who believe they are superior to others or victims of another instead of working towards the goal that is satisfactory to all of us.
Democracy embraces all of us who do try to correct the injustices amongst us through positive efforts of all of us working together for the common goal. To pretend this is the goal of those who practice hate or those who try to divide our commonality or respect for each other, is to lie to ourselves and to live in a world of fantasy or denial.
A true redneck sincerely does believe that the Democrat Party is made up of entirely Liberals who are intent on taking away their guns. Their belief system is exactly what makes them easy prey to the NRA and subversive groups whose only job is to divide the American people. Anyone insulted to be called a Redneck is truly not a Redneck.
Some, amongst us may think the people who act like cave men or have not advanced to the twenty first century and feel that women rights are not suppose to be equal to the rights of the white male, are "rednecks" but in many of these examples we will find people who have religious convictions that drive their thinking and they are not in truth officially "Rednecks."
Many included in this group may have similar beliefs when it comes to husband and wife roles but their beliefs stem instead from the verses of the Bible that says, "Wives should be obedient to and beholding to their husbands." Not all but in a lot of instances, we will find that they are absent of hate or bigotries.
Those who are not or would divide the Faithful, are many times worse than those who make no pretentions of the fact that their hatred and bigotry are volatile. Those who hide themselves behind conservative or Tea Party values in the name of family values, yet with political endeavors in mind, are often more subtle but equally disruptive to the Democracy of America.
I have friends who, I agree to disagree with, who have joked about themselves as being "Rednecks" who have some of the same beliefs but they are totally against the NRA rhetoric and propaganda and would never support the NRA's rant because even as members they are 100% of the belief, " That the only people who have to be concerned about having to register a gun or go through checks are probably the people who should never own one."
I do hope this educates everyone who had the misconception that I was placing blame where done existed, generalizing about a group of people who believe or behave differently from what I reported , or name calling anyone other than Ted Nugent and the NRA leadership in my post.
I repeat the statements I made in the post are typical beliefs and behavior of the true "Rednecks", who are only one of many groups who make up the cultural climate of America. Anyone who is insulted by being called a redneck is not in truth probably one but perhaps one who can relate to the same on some level.
A true redneck is proud of being called a redneck as they see their views as the only acceptable views.
I have said many a time that hatred is bred in and out of ignorance so if this helps educate in regards to just one of the many groups' beliefs and behaviors then I feel that I have done some good by exposing them. Sadly the same Republican majority who accept this mentality into Their CPAC conventions learned nothing when the American people sent them the clear message that we will not tolerate division or dismissal of the other 47% of Americans amongst us. I hope you join me in making the message loud and clear that Democracy and decency belongs to all of our people in America.
I appreciate that you took out your time, Douglas, to read my post and I do hope you learned something from it. Sadly, the beliefs of the true Rednecks are growing in numbers and shared beliefs and those of us who know the difference need to be the buffer of resistance against such stereo typing and hatred that continues to grow amongst too many of the groups with like beliefs and hatred against any group or individual Americans who do not wish us harm.
The truly honorable and brave amongst us have not dedicated their lives to the cause of elitism, hate, or class warfare but rather to the cause of Democracy. It does us all well to remember that when we celebrate Memorial Day with our loved ones and decorate the graves of those who died and risked their lives so that all of us could have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without regard to Race, Gender, Creed, Color, or Sexual Orientation.
During this time of great sorrow and travail in our Country, may we all gain a moment of strength and courage as well as be inspired by those Americans who come from all walks of life and diversity, who serve and have served all of us both well and unselfishly. The real heroes' amongst them risk their most precious gift of life for the rights of All Americans to enjoy the true Blessings of complete and total Freedom from oppression. Thank you! God Bless us all. God Bless America.

Obama to propose 1 percent pay increase in 2014 budget
President Barack Obama will recommend a 1 percent pay increase for federal employees in his fiscal 2014 budget request, according to federal-employee unions. The pay increase will apply to both civilian federal workers and military members. The White House is expected to release its full budget request next month.
00Federal Pay RaiseFisher1949No point proposing a pay raise when many will be on furlough or gone entirely. No chance this will get through Congress so it is an empty, if not foolish, gesture.35889{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0A 1% pay hike?kenifer47Is this a reward for the survivors? Before you Obama lovers start singing his praises, sing this. If sequestration happens: Federal workers will lose 20% of their pay for 11 of 26 Pay Periods. That means, for those of you who are math challenged, 11/26 X .2 = .42 X .2 = .085 or in simple terms, an 8.5% pay CUT for the year. Following 3 yrs of no increase. That 1% will really help!!! Oh, by the way, do you think that after sequestration that private industry salaries will have caught up to federal salaries by then? Thank you Mr. Obama, your "mandate" is our guide. To quote Wayne and Garth, "We're not worthy!"35915{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0A 1 percent shut-up anteHefeweizenIf they manage to get the 1% pay raise through, it will make it easier for the administration to impose another pay freeze for at least another year thereafter. They will try to mollify the workforce by claiming that they gave us a raise the previous year, so we should be satisfied with that will times continue to be tough. Gee, I wonder why times are tough???35916{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Seems to be the new way of thingswisenektDo a minor pay raise (that may or may not pass) and then do a freeze for a few years.

At home and abroad, leaders in agriculture advocate for innovation and investment in biotech
Engaging with the public on the benefits of plant science is a must, Dyer says
According to the European Crop Protection Association, the UK Crop Protection Association's chief executive Dominic Dyer said at a gathering of industry leaders that continued innovation in plant science is crucial in addressing food security and climate change challenges. . He warned that restrictive EU legislation on modern crop technologies discouraged investment and would ultimately put Europe's farmers at a competitive disadvantage.
Mr. Dyer emphasized, "In a world of rapid population increase and ever-growing demands on our land, water and energy resources, we must do more to communicate the values of our industry to policy-makers and the wider public." Read more.

Bark Busters founders Sylvia and Danny Wilson have refined a method of dog obedience training that makes dog training easy and accessible to all. With Bark Busters, you work directly with a dog trainer in your own home using a method that takes into account the unique challenges you're facing and then fosters a positive relationship between you and your dog. This method enables you to build a lasting, emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming past challenges with your pet. Bark Busters dog trainers focus heavily on training people, as much or more as training dogs, so that once you learn to communicate effectively with your dog, you will have the necessary tools to be an effective dog trainer and "leader of his/her pack."
How to Establish Yourself as Pack Leader
While some methods of obedience training for dogs rely on gimmicks or inducing pain or discomfort, the Bark Busters method empowers you with the insight you need to become your dog's pack leader. Once the role of pack leader is fulfilled by you, most other issues and concerns will fall naturally and easily into place. All the dog training tips in the world won't matter if your dog doesn't view you as his pack leader. Dogs have an innate need for the social structure and security of a pack, so in order to maintain a peaceful existence, dog owners must learn to confidently lead that pack. The bottom line is this: Dog behavior issues almost always stem from lack of consistent leadership. Pack leadership isn't difficult to achieve, it simply requires a basic understanding of the pack leader mindset and consistent use of a few, straightforward techniques.
How to Train a Puppy
Puppies need guidance in the form of puppy obedience training in order to learn good manners and develop a pleasant, obedient nature. While it's true that puppies receive much of their socialization from their mothers and littermates in the first 12 weeks of life, as your puppy's pack leader, you will pick up where mother dog left off as primary puppy trainer. Bark Busters trainers offer puppy training in your home, as well as puppy training classes. Crate training puppies, house training puppies, and leash training puppies are primary areas in which your puppy will begin his education to become a good canine citizen.
Dog Aggression Training
Aggressive dog behavior should always be taken seriously, whether your dog is a 150-pound giant or a 5-pound mini-titan. Dog aggression can often be alleviated with dog behavior training. If your dog is exhibiting signs of aggression, call Bark Busters without delay. Because the consequences of ignoring dog aggression may be severe and far-reaching, professional help is a must to ensure that any issues of dog aggression are decidedly resolved.
To learn more about Bark Busters, call toll-free 1.877.500.BARK (2275) or click here to locate a local Bark Busters dog behaviorist and trainer near you.

America's Media Makers (AMM) grants support the following formats:
- interactive digital media;
- film and television projects; and
- radio projects.
Interactive digital media may be websites, games, mobile applications, virtual environments, streaming video, podcasts, or other digital formats.
Film and television projects may be single programs or a series addressing significant figures or events and drawing their content from humanities scholarship. They must be intended for national distribution.
Radio projects may involve single programs, limited series, or segments within an ongoing program. They may also develop new humanities content to augment existing radio programming or add greater historical background or humanities analysis to the subjects of existing programs. They may be intended for regional or national distribution.
NEH encourages projects that feature multiple formats to engage the public in the exploration of humanities ideas. Proposed projects might include complementary components that expand or deepen the audience's understanding of a subject: for example, museum exhibitions, book/film discussion programs, or other formats that engage audiences in new ways. America's Media Makers grants may not, however, be used to support programs' general operating costs.
Production grants support the production and distribution of digital projects, films, television programs, radio programs, and related programs that promise to engage the public.
Program Statistics
In the last five competitions The America's Media Makers: Production Grants program received an average of 42 applications. The program made an average of seven awards per competition, for a funding ratio of 17 percent.
The number of applications to an NEH grant program can vary widely from competition to competition, as can the funding ratio.

Its recombinant versions behave like memory in that it re-constitutes past events continually anew. Hackney Girl demonstrates that readers or viewers can construct a coherent narrative from small chunks that they encounter in varying orders.
See video here.
2. Jane (2006-) is a film dialogue that has adaptable variations of conversation between two characters. Jake and John talk about their wives/lives and a woman they share called Jane. Apart from line substitution, each of the six conversations are divided into 3 sections with each bearing one of the keywords last night, fantasy, and tonight at the start. All 18 sections can be chained together in a Flash-based interface from which a random scenario is created. Each option is inspectable and changeable thus enabling the user/reader to craft their own scenarios. These can be saved as text files on the user's local machine.
The script was shot and will be released over the course of 2009. The Scenario Generator will also be able to play the scenario as filmed sequences and allow conversations to be played in a gallery setting.

Stuck between either Android or the iPad? This should help you
If you are in the market for a brand new tablet, you have a lot to take in to account. You really have two main choices at this stage. They are Google's Android based platform, and Apple's iPad Being an Android tablet and iPad user myself, I can say with some degree of certainty that no matter who you are, or what you specifically require out of your new tablet, you'll most likely be relatively content with either device offering. With that said, now that you're here you may as well invest a minute reading over some of these considerations.
The experience you receive through an iPad or Android tablet may be close to one another, but as you may suspect, there are some distinct differences between the two devices.. Depending on your intended use of your new tablet, these differences in choice of tablet may or may not be a deal breaker for you.
If we consider the iPad, we know that we're getting a fantastic tablet no matter which way we look at it. If you're the type of person who values attention to detail and a silky smooth user experience and user interface – then you'll soon fall in love with Apple's iOS. While it may not have some features that Android devices have – which we will discuss shortly – you cannot knock Apple's awesomely crisp design and fluid operating system functions. To give credit where credit is due, Apple's iPad is definitely a remarkable device.
With all that said, Android truly does offer a lot of options for the end consumer – no matter which way you view it. If you choose to buy an iPad, you may be disappointed to uncover that your only real option is to choose the colour, storage size and whether your new iPad is able to connect over cellular data.
With Android based tablets, there are dozens of manufacturers – and perhaps many, many more if you include not well known manufacturers – and so your options in device and device specifications is a lot wider.
In most cases, you are able to choose what amount of in built memory you'd like, as well as if the device offers built in functionality for a wireless network 3G internet connection. These – once again – are the main choices you look forward to with Apple's iPad. You can thank the open Android platform for all the devices available. Google definitely went the responsible way when it purchased the Android OS, in allowing it to be an open platform. You can still further refine your decision by deciding upon your tablet display size, whether it supports connectability features like Bluetooth, USB or even HDMI, whether it includes a built-in GPS or whether it supports expandable storage space by using a microSD card slot.
That's the reason why I favor Android and their operating system very much. They provide so much variability and choice, and so, at least to me, it becomes a no brainer in which tablet to choose!
Deciding to go for an Android tablet also means you're likely to receive a device which is newer, when it comes to technological innovation and specifications. That is simply because Apple launches a brand new iPad about once each year. While in contrast with Android, you've got lots of manufacturers introducing brand new devices year round. Once more, this ties in with consumer choice – but really, it should definitely be noted that you're buying a higher end product, technologically speaking, any time you purchase a new Android tablet.
The only element I dislike about the iPad specifically, is the fact that not all that much generally seems to change with each update. Sure, the CPU or perhaps graphics probably have received an upgrade, but nevertheless otherwise it generally appears to look and feel the same. With the most modern iPad and its predecessor, I can't even tell the positive change in speed between the two. The good news is with Android, like usual, we're spoiled for choice and so we are able to more often than not purchase an innovative new tablet with specifications either equivalent to, or a lot better than the iPad. Oh, and you'll almost certainly buy the Android for a great deal cheaper, too.
I've used an iPad, and I've used quite a few Android devices and they're both good in their very own ways. At the end of the day, both devices and companies play a significant part in the mobile computing and tablet marketplace. In spite of this, for me personally, choosing Android is without a doubt the best choice I could make – and I am sure for numerous other people out there, you'll inevitably be in a similar situation. Now that you understand a bit more about the differences between Apple and Android devices, you may go out and make a much better educated choice. Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

The cuts were unmentioned in press releases from Congress hailing passage of a transportation funding bill - a bill balance in part by Medicaid cuts.
The state's fiscal year began Sunday, July 1.
On the chopping block:
Programs that care for women with breast and cervical cancer, provide hospice care and offer adult dentures to the poor and uninsured.
Funding to the LSU public hospitals and rural hospitals;
Rates paid to the doctors, clinics and other health providers who care for Medicaid patients. would be slashed up to 10 percent.
The reduction in funding came when the House reversed an earlier error and dropped the federal matching Medicaid rate for the state.
The state, with budget problems of its own, did not have the extra money needed to produce all the federal dollars in the current year budget, creating the drop of about 10 percent.

Ben snapped this photo with his iPhone. Our table must have been causing a stir or they caught us gawking at them, because I noticed that they started to duck down in their seats before they slipped out entirely.
Social commentary, art, hip-hop, Yay Area, photography, pop culture, and lots of really bad writing that people tell me is good.

What a great way to make famous people feel uncomfortable. No wonder they are like mythical creatures. They want to keep hidden from riff-raff like you.
Really I'm just jealous you can see celebrities. Only cool ones I've seen in Alaska are the Palins, DMX, Bill Engvall and Snoop Dogg. - September 12, 2010 3:15 AM

You're much classier than me. I saw Jerry Springer last week and stalked him for 15 minutes before pushing an old lady out of my way to get a picture with him. :)
