Captivate your audience with the alluring hue of deep blue quartzite in this cuff bracelet. The faceted doublet gemstone features a rock crystal quartz top and blue quartzite base-- accented by four deep blue iolite gemstones. A mixed metal openwork design of sterling silver and brass lends this already-stunning cuff intricacy, so it can be your wardrobe centerpiece for the most elegant of occasions. The bracelet measures 1-1/2" wide with a choice of small, average and large traditional fits. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Deep in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, between the Canadian border and Burton's Burlington headquarters there's a mountain with no name.
Distinguishable only to the most skilled trackers, no roads lead there, and disputed land litigation keep prying satellites from zeroing in on its pristine slopes. While the pitch is steep and the snow is blower, only those with true vision will see past the dense undergrowth to its true potential. Should you come across this fabled peak, at its base you will find a solitary van. How the weathered van got there, most will never know, but behind it's heavily tinted windows and wall-to-wall shag carpeting you will find the first ever Burton [ak] 15L Pack, or so the story goes. Tall tales aside, the 15L is our lowest-profile, lightest weight backcountry pack, built with a super slim design that leaves plenty of room for getting weird in the woods with all the essentials.

Collection of Breakfast Promising Practices
Collection of Breakfast Promising Practices
Creative strategies to maintain successful breakfast programs are employed in many of Pennsylvania's schools. Foodservice staff at these schools, often in collaboration with personnel from other disciplines and from the community at large, devise innovative plans for increasing breakfast participation rates and improving the nutritional quality of breakfast items, all while gaining support from various stakeholders. Transforming a section of the school library into a cafe, using peer education to promote breakfast, serving breakfast in the hallways, and inviting parents to participate in the breakfast program are just a few of the many success stories described here. The schools and districts represented in this collection have shared their successful tactics by way of Project PA's "Promising Practices" reporting system. These School Breakfast Promising Practices offer insight and advice about beginning and sustaining successful breakfast programs for all grade levels, elementary through high school.View the Collection of Breakfast Promising Practices.
Promoting Farm to School Programs in Pennsylvania
Promoting Farm to School Programs in Pennsylvania
Farm to School programs connect schools with local farms to provide healthy foods in schools, improve students' dietary habits, provide hands-on nutrition education opportunities, foster stronger connections within communities, and support local farmers. Farm to School programs take on a variety of forms and may include classroom lessons about agriculture and farming, school gardens, trips to local farms, taste-testing of local products, school markets, and integration of locally-produced foods into school meals programs, among others. Project PA, with funding and support from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is initiating a project to promote Farm to School programs in Pennsylvania. This program will provide examples of successful Farm to School programs and resources and assistance to help schools start these programs.Find out more about Farm to School Programs.
Farm to School: Keeping it Safe
Farm to School: Keeping it Safe
Schools are working to provide healthier meals to students and teach them the skills they need to make good decisions about nutrition and health. As part of these efforts, there is growing interest among schools in Farm to School programs. While a primary objective of Farm to School activities is to connect schools with local farms to promote purchasing of local foods for school meals, a variety of types of activities fall under the Farm to School umbrella including school gardens, nutrition and agriculture classroom lessons, field trips to local farms, and taste-testing of local products. In addition to providing healthy foods in school meals programs and providing students with health and nutrition education, Farm to School programs support local farmers and therefore strengthen local food systems.Login or Register for this Course.

I usually use the high mountain jerky mix from bass pro's to make my jerky in the dehydrator but I would like to use a home made recipe and try to save some money. I figured I would throw this up here and see what sticks.

A thyroid ultrasound is an imaging method used to see the thyroid -- a gland in the neck that regulates metabolism
Ultrasound - thyroid; Thyroid sonogram; Thyroid echogram
is a painless method that uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. The test is usually done in the ultrasound or radiology department.
You will lie with your neck extended beyond its usual limit (hyperextended). The ultrasound technician will place a gel onto your neck. Next, the technician will move a wand, called a transducer, over the area.
The transducer gives off sound waves. The sound waves go through the body and bounce off the area being studied (in this case, the thyroid gland). A computer looks at the pattern that the sound waves create when bouncing back, and creates an image. This is similar to SONAR.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
You should feel very little discomfort with this test. The gel may be cold.
A thyroid ultrasound is usually done when you have a growth on your thyroid gland. The exam can help tell the difference between a sac containing fluid (cyst
) and abnormal tissue that may or may not be cancerous (a tumor
The thyroid is of normal size, shape, and position.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Your doctor can use these results and the results of other tests to direct your care.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed include the following:
There are no documented risks of ultrasound.

Lawrence McQuillan on The Jason Lewis Radio Show
Recorded: Thursday, January 16, 2014
Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan was a guest on the Jason Lewis radio show. He discussed the economics and history of totalitarianism vs capitalism in terms of policies such as higher taxes for corporations, farm subsidies, price and rent controls and endless money supply and how history can show us which of these stifle prosperity. Private property and individualism are the foundations of freedom, argues McQuillan.

Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Eminent Domain: Abuse of Government Power?
Recorded: Tuesday, January 31, 2006
In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

I have been wanting a way to get K-Love on my phone and this will do it! Now just if I hadn't downgraded to that new $15/month AT&T data plan. lol
Jean-luc_Picard Oct 20, 2010 at 3:59 pm
I'm jealous, the cheapest data plan I've found in Canada on Telus is $50... You get 500MB... I bet in the US you'd have unlimited data for that price!
kameleon Oct 20, 2010 at 5:04 pm
$15 gets you 200MB and $25 gets you 2GB unless you were grandfathered in to the $30/month "unlimited" plan which was actually 5GB cap. I never use more than 150MB on my torch so I dropped to save that $15/month. Now I will have to stay near wifi to keep streaming this!
Other carriers (cellular south, a verizon sister company) have unlimited data, calling, etc for about $70 for the entire plan, but only have neutered blackberries.
Esteve1 Oct 21, 2010 at 1:28 am
I would love to know what about my 9550 is"neutered"thanks so much for your wrong opinion.
Tangocore Oct 21, 2010 at 10:21 am
most canadians carriers have it at 500mb/25$, you can get it cheater inside a voice/data plan combo
like someone under also said, 30$/6gig is available on rogers/bell/virgin on a limited time offer (although 3yeras contract) everyyear
iMiiTH Oct 20, 2010 at 10:28 pm
WIND/Mobilicity = unlimited $35

Very nice. Having access to radio station from abroad is a great feature. I am affraid to say "Bye Bye Nobex Radio Companion, you have been a good friend ..."
Also, at 226940 bytes, it is smaller than Nobex (325904 )
On my 9530, it helps a little

It works great in the UK. Must be over a hundred stations - all the BBC national and local, all of the mainstream commercial ones, loads of local stations and quite a few internet/digital only ones as well.
mohawk apple Oct 20, 2010 at 3:27 pm
sweeet just down loaded this and my local radio station is on there
CrackedAngel Oct 20, 2010 at 3:28 pm
This is the best radio app I've seen in a while next to Slacker and Pandora. I've missed WPLJ - FM radio (95.5) in New York, and WPLJ's app is not for OS 6. Now I have it through Tune In Radio, as well as my other New York stations. This app couldn't be easier to install, and it installs in literally seconds. Simple to use, clean interface, and just about everything you need to find your stations, with multiple states in the United States listed, as well as other countries. This app is surely a winner, and it's free! High five to Tune In Radio.
pkcable Oct 20, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I was one of the original beta testers of this app, and i was so excited about this. I almost could not contain myself. I wanted this to be available to you all so badly so you could enjoy it as much as I do. It truly is THE greatest music streaming app available. Yea yea I still love Pandora, but this is different. This is actual radio stations. I love how it know where I am and shows me stations in my local area. It also has a GREAT search engine and can search it's extensive database of stations and podcasts. Besides all the great FM & AM, (including HD radio), there are also many internet only broadcast stations TuneIN has it ALL! And the best part is the simple clean interface, it just works, and it looks good!
StormJH1 Oct 20, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Glowing review. My one question would be is it better at STREAMING than Nobex. I'm 100% fine with the channel availability and interface of Nobex, but find that it struggles to stream over 3G at times. Of all the music players that stream, Pandora probably does the best job...is this better than Nobex?
CrackedAngel Oct 20, 2010 at 3:29 pm
One drawback only. The sound isn't very loud, even at peak volume.
dawsonm Oct 20, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Won't play though earphones, only through cell speakers.

Works in UK, answered my own question. Without GPS, and on Wifi and Network right now, the local stuff doesn't seem to work for me. I just get all of the UK's stations.
hbalagh Oct 20, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I have been looking for something like this forever, most of the apps i find have alot of unknown stations to me and alot from the Uk...this has all my favorite local stations on it a great app, but still love my pandora

StormJH1 Oct 20, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Hopefully this is just an isolated problem, but anybody else having trouble getting this thing to stream over 3G? I fired it up and found stations, but never got past like 15% buffering, even though I have a "5-star 3G" connection in an area I don't normally have problems.

Was able to download it here in Canada but the first screen that opens up says "Timeout" in the top right corner. Clicking on "reload the screen" does nothing.
Anybody experiencing the same........

I navigated to www.radiotime.com/bb from my Bold 9700 running OS 5. I saw the same page that the link you provided goes to.
The app didn't download automatically and there is no link from there to download the Blackberry App.
CORRECTION: I forgot I had disabled JAVA for something else I was working on. Once enabled I got a completely different page. Thanks.

This radio app worked quickly and immediately. I tried IHeartRadio a couple of times and my BB (first 8330 then 9650) always froze up and had to do a battery pull. No such problems with this app. And it has the stations I was hoping for!

eclipsegsohsix Oct 20, 2010 at 5:11 pm
I am so happy that this can stream channels from DI.FM!!!! I have been looking for something that would stream the Trance channel without having to use YourMuze until DI.FM releases their own app. Great find!
Brookelynne Oct 20, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Nice app. Fast and easy download with a clean interface. Good supplement to iheartradio. Tunein + iheartradio + pandora is a winning combination and they all are free. Works very well. Thanks CB!
SoccerRef12 Oct 20, 2010 at 5:25 pm
This is a GREAT app and it is only 221k. It doesn't get any better than that for my poor memory starved 8330. Thanks.
Works great on my Bold in greater Boston/eastern MA. Only one station I listen to is CC and unavailable, KISS 108.
Only change necessary is allowing you to sort your presets.
quattrojames Oct 20, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Fantastic app! The only thing I miss over Nobex is the sleep timer.
diego.roscetti Oct 20, 2010 at 5:50 pm
This is the first music app that I have tried. Very easy to install, not a large file, worked instantly on my Torch.
Got all of my tab channels here in Toronto. Also got some channels in Italy that I used to listen to when I was visiting.
Simply amazing. Have used this only on wi-fi so far so I have to see if the streaming problems occur on 3G like others have been reporting.
AgentScribe Oct 20, 2010 at 6:15 pm
I am extremely grateful to have this app on BlackBerry. Now, I can listen www.talkwithattitude.com on my phone, and keep up with my favorite local talk shows.

Zed Leppelin Oct 20, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Whenever I open the app I get either a Timeout or a Critical tunneling error.
Edit: Seems to work on wifi but not over 3G. Any ideas anyone?
Edit2: Fixing my APN settings gets rid of the two errors above, now I'm able to search for stations but get an "Empty or invalid playlist" error
DJ Reyes Oct 20, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I've never used a Radio app before but this one seemed to appeal to me so I've just downloaded it and I think it's gonna be a keeper. Found the radio station I normally listen to so definitely not leaving my BB anytime soon.
Thanks for this
mundo472 Oct 20, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Local radio RULES! This is just what I've been waiting for.
Diskoman Oct 20, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Nobex and all other streaming "local-radio" apps are now officially in trouble. This is the first app I have found that has ANY of the radio stations in my city. All of the other apps (including IheartRadio) just have the stations from the 3 largest cities in my state. TuneIn has EVERY station in my area except the 2 ClearChannel stations (which IheartRadio doesn't have either so no biggie), as well as stations in other nearby (even smaller) cities. Sound quality on most stations meets or exceeds the quality over FM/AM with an antenna on my receiver (depends on the stream the station has), so I am now playing the radio over its AUX input from my BlackBerry. Better sound quality, more stations, podcasts, simple interface: TuneIn is an absolute winner!
teddyp6 Oct 20, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I downloaded and I like it. I will definitely put this to good use.
One more comment I wanted to make.....this app, in conjunction with Yourmuze, and I get everything I listen to, except for the one CC station on neither.....
Keeper for me.
Christine85 Oct 20, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I downloaded it to compare to Nobex radio companion and it's WAY better. I used the search box and typed in my favorite band and I got radio stations streaming them at REAL TIME plus a bunch of old radio interviews. Even when I was searching for local stations for preset, I found a police scanner channel for a local city. I found all of this within 20 min. of playing with this app. *Thumbs up*
SharpieFiend Oct 20, 2010 at 9:23 pm
This is a GREAT app! It's small and doesn't bog down my 9700 like Nobex did, and does higher quality streams! I believe Nobex was doing 24K MP3 (or less), but this one does 34K AAC on every station I tried. The streams don't pause/stop like Nobex either, which is very nice!
I have noticed one problem though - sometimes the streams don't play and you have to restart the app to fix it.
SmoochyTX Oct 20, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Love it! Love it! Love it!
ETA - Using 9700 on Tmobile. Works fabulously!
aidiebravo Oct 20, 2010 at 10:34 pm
So glad didn't downgrade my data plan with AT&T. This is by far my favorite radio app! Sorry Pandora.
This is an awesome app. I cant believe its free. This is all u could want and more in a radio app, including podcasts (which is my new found love) The only thing that's keeping me from deleting Nobex is that I won it in a CB contest. LOL. I'm sentimental.
curvedthumb Oct 20, 2010 at 10:42 pm
This app is fantastic...it tunes in FM as well a AM stations in different qualities.....i was able to tune in FM stations in Miami, LA, Philadelphia, etc as well as Spain, Italy, Venezuela wow.....tried Cuba but nothing happened there, I guess the embargo is to blame.....using WIFi works perfectly.

This app works really well and besides bluetooth A2DP support is the best of all the media apps I have tried for the Blackberry, which is most if not all. 5 stars for this one.

Great app. Nice interface. All stations play. Lot and lots of stations to choose from. Will play with it more tomorrow

I am having major problems on my Storm 1.
- Local Radio lists stations in Atlanta, GA....I'm in Birmingham, AL.
- Almost all stations buffer and then say Stream error.
- The few stations which work play for less than 10 seconds then buffer for another 10, rinse and repeat.

Wow app works great using it right now and loving it about time something like this comes out especially if its free!!! its a must download

Holy crap this is great. Just installed it and I can listen to KNBR. Screw you, MLB app. Station search and streaming are quick, audio quality is great. I now have a reason to carry headphones around with my phone.
crack_uzbo Oct 21, 2010 at 5:11 am
Can't get this to work. It only works on wifi, I keep getting a error message saying timeout, when not using wifi.
I dnt no how to configure I apn settings hope someone can help. I'm on a 9700 in the uk and network is orange.
If someone can explain what APN that would be great, and does it affect my data or will my carrier have any charge against me?
Ty in advance!
prlarkin Oct 21, 2010 at 8:12 am
Options>adv options>tcp/ip tick apn enabled. The apn name is orangeinternet. No need for username/password. This makes it work but not sure if orange are charging for it!

baayers Oct 21, 2010 at 6:57 am
I am using this on my BB Tour on VZW and I have to say I'm absolutely loving this. My biggest problem with Nobex was that headphone audio was too low. No more with TuneIn. My transit commuting just got majorly improved.
PDXSox Oct 21, 2010 at 7:55 am
TuneIn Radio is great! However, I am not able to listen to stations that broadcast in Windows Media stream format (ex. BBC Radio 4). Am I missing a setting that will enable these to work on my BB Storm 2? Or, does BB have another media player that can play ALL types of broadcast streams? Help!!
alex.gavrilov Oct 21, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Storm2 support for Windows Media steams is quite unreliable. I've got BBC working most of the time on 9550 when I enable Storm2 compatibility mode and set buffering to Automatic. It takes long time to start the stream but then typically works. A few times after playing with Windows Media I received "Media processor error" which only clear after battery pull. I don't get any of these issues on Bold 9000.
Chapi-Gringo Oct 21, 2010 at 9:52 am
I've been waiting for this for a long time. I live in Buffalo, and the stations here are not that great. I enjoy different styles of music (and in other languages, too). Thank you so, so much. I am no longer limited to the top-40 radio playlists..... on repeat.
uzuma Oct 21, 2010 at 10:54 am
This app actually works! Lol. All the station in my local area work. Tried listening to stations from other states and they work then tried from other countries and it worked!!! Great app. And the best thing about it is that its free! 5 stars lol

This is incredible as I said yesterday, but, there is one drawback. It doesn't work with bluetooth yet.
themaestro Oct 21, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I think TuneIn Radio is amazing!!! Finally, local radio stations that I can recognize. Was listening to WBLS last night and was happy to see how well it matched the actual radio when I turned it on.
atxlolifer Oct 21, 2010 at 9:28 pm
I installed this today on my Torch, and I'm able to listen to the stations through my connected Jawbone Icon. :)
This is a fantastic and AMAZING app!

Amadeus_ Oct 22, 2010 at 6:52 am
I downloaded this application yesterday. Went to the theatre at night, set my BB9700 Bold to silent mode but at a very inconvenient moment the radio started playing spontaneously (I was in the front row). Surely you can imagine my embarrasment. What default setting do I need to change to stop this from happening?
alex.gavrilov Oct 22, 2010 at 9:36 am
Sorry about that. This could happen in one of theses cases:
- You pushed "mute" button accidentally. It works as Play/Stop even if the app is in the background
- It was stopped due to connection loss rather than manually and accidentally it detected connection again in the theater making, which triggered playback resume. I'll a add timeout in the next version so that if it was stopped for more than half an hour it won't resume automatically.
xolanir Oct 22, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Man oh man, for a free app, it is very sweet! Streaming my fave house channels and loving it!!!
RexTee Oct 23, 2010 at 7:50 am
Really looking forward to using this app, but will not go beyond "Reload the screen -Timeout" message. I had no problem downloading/installing. Tested every connection option (automatic/wifi only/cellular only. Nothing works.
Don't know what APN settings are, can't find anything about Verizon APN or why I need this.
Very frustrating.
I love it! Great app!
sysut1 Oct 24, 2010 at 8:37 am
I am trying to make this work for me on my 8330 ( Verizon ). It plays about 3 seconds and then stops, buffers for 60 seconds, and then plays 3 seconds, buffers again, etc. I have lots of free memory space and am up at the latest OS 4.5 level available. But still does not work smoothly.
Strikkie Oct 28, 2010 at 9:53 am
You can open the log.txt at the bottom of the screen (settings).
At mine it is saying "apn not specified".
That is in my case unfortunately correct cause tmobile won't accept an apn with the bb dataplan.
Does anyone has a workaround besides wifi?
tha_crock85 Oct 29, 2010 at 4:56 am
Using a VZW Tour 9630 here...
As far as the app's interface & features, this is great for a free app. I was able to find all of my local stations with about 2 seconds worth of searching - and the only station I couldn't find listed in with my local stations, I found with another 2 second search using their callsign. Usability is awesome
However, I can unfortunately only get 2 of my local radio stations to play. I've got the buffer time set to "Automatic," don't know anything about if I'm supposed to have the APN settings a certain way or not. On the stations that won't play, I keep getting "Stream Error" and/or "Connection too slow or streaming server overloaded." Not sure why I'm able to get some stations to play and not others...any advice?
Allvettesarered Feb 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm

AMHERST, N.Y. — President Barack Obama wants the government to rate colleges on their affordability and cost effectiveness, with scores tied to how much federal aid students can receive. He said the scores -- ideally in place within two years -- will consider factors such as graduation rates, tuition, student loan debt and graduates' earning potential.
The ratings are part of a sweeping overhaul of the nation's higher education system that Obama says will give a "better bargain" to the middle class. He described the plan aimed at making college more affordable before a crowd of about 7,000 people at the University of Buffalo on Thursday morning.
"We can't price the middle class and everybody trying to get into the middle class out of a higher education," Obama said. He described keeping soaring tuition costs in check as an "economic imperative." Otherwise, he said, college costs will "stifle economic mobility for generations."
Obama said tuition to the nation's public four-year colleges and universities has increased 250 percent in the past three decades, while income has risen just 16 percent. The projected cost of higher education. he said, has become "a crisis in terms of college affordability and student debt."
An average college student graduates from a four-year school with $26,000 in debt.
"The system's current trajectory is not sustainable," he said.
Obama visited the university on move-in day, as about 5,000 students descended on campus with mini-fridges and futons in tow. He described a three-part reform, beginning with the ratings.
"There are schools out there that have higher default rates than graduation rates," he said. "It's time to stop rewarding schools that are not producing results."
In addition, Obama described plans to spur competition among colleges through innovation, including programs for students to earn degrees more quickly, receive college credit for work done in high school and receive online credits.

What I love about Ashley is she always has attack and fire in her programs, and before 2012, it was like you could feel she wanted a National Championship more than any of the other girls. After seeing how most of the U.S. ladies since 2006 wilted under the spotlight once they were thought to be the leading U.S lady (Flatt, Czisny, Nagasu, Zhang, etc.), it's great to see a U.S. Champion that always skates like she wants to win. I'm sick and tired of U.S. ladies that skate like they're an injured deer caught in a car's headlights.

Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Sonny: Our men's group at church tried to raise some produce as a fund raiser last year. We had 3 acres growing well. The cubs were keeping all the weeds at bay and then 7 inches of rain in 8 hrs. sorta wiped it out. But we are going to try again this year. I made a few new tools for the cubs to make all that work allot easier. They include hiller disc, a potato plow. We are up to 5 acres this year. Seat time, gotta love it. Planning on raising cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, sweet corn, green beans, potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes and sweet peas. Of course I imagine we'll have to sample the fruits of our labor to make sure it's gooood! I got a new camera so I'll try to get pics of cubs in action. Greg
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
WOW! GREG!!-- That sounds really great!---and since this is a season long project,-- keep the pics. coming as the garden progresses!
There are a lot of attachments that you can fabricate up for the cubs,---(at minimal cost), as I too have done,--- that will help a lot in the larger gardens!--(even make a few hand tools, like the special onion & close spaced plant hoe, etc. !
Put pics of your equipment in this thread too!---tell the fine folks how you do things in your area! thanks; sonny
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
I actually have a few attachments for a cub cadet 106. I put a 3 pt hitch on it and rigged up 2 earthway planters for making 15 inch rows for carrots, radishes ect. ect...lol works really good. Of course I have cultivators for the narrow rows too. Would they qualify for this post? We had our 1st meeting of the year to see how many men wanted to help. We have 8 so far..I'm feelin goooood about the upcoming season. If anyone is interested, I'll post pics of how I hooked up the planters and disc hillers. Of course I always enjoy pics of others inventions..Greg
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
GREG!!! Bring on EVERYTHING you guys are going to use in this venture!!!---the more the better!!!---Pics can sometimes help inspire others too!!
I use mostly homemade stuff to garden with here too!-- I made the tater planter that is pulled with the cadet 149 and cultivator for the 3-point (also homemade)on 1 of the cubs----also have a small David Bradley 6" plow bottom converted to the 3-pt, A 5' springtooth cultivator, a "try-it-and-see" hiller,( it works but has limited clearance ), 3-point single shank ripper, all for the cubs! did get a regular cub plow but needs some brackets fabed., also in the collection I found a near complete cultivator for a cub(thinking bout putting it on the 49 and just leave it on)
Also in the fleet is a homemade trailer that I pull mostly with the "butt buggy" (Toro-wheelhorse 266-H tractor with mower deck removed), I get to use a couple tillers every year in exchange for servicing and keeping them running for a non-mechanical friend! (works for both of us!)
IH 404-u tractor, IH 706 and a 3 year old King-Cutter tiller, 2-bottom (converted from pull to 3-pt) plow, BIG1-bottom homemade plow, 8' vibrashank field cultivator (cut down from 16' model)
This is part of the arsenal, may be overkill , but we have 5.5 acres here and I have been clearing it off as time/weather permits, so we probably are up to around 4 acres at this point!---Thats a lot of weeding!
We never had any luck with selling produce here, hard to get anyone to just come get it!!--BUT I want to plant plenty so we can get our quota for the winter, we can/freeze/ and
dry some, plus growing a few rows of chicken corn for the laying hens!
I didnt mean to ramble on, but this should give an idea of what can be done!---If you use it to garden with POST that dude here!LOL!!---(We dont care what color the equipment is either!)
Start putting up equipment pics. now! thanks ; sonny
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Sonny- First I'd like to honor God with all the help He gave us in acquiring all the equipment we have. It seems I always run into "real deals" on almost everything! An example is a 1 row transplanter that was totally free. God is goooood.
A few more items I have are..home made 6' field cultivator(made from wings off an 18' fc), a jd850(under 1000 hrs on),fertilizer spreader, 2 row jd 71 units(friend letting us use it for free)3 acres bottom ground(sandy soil=plant it early)free use from church member. 5' row cultivator for pumpkins or other viney crops..cost $10.00, an IH #10 manure spreader..uh that one wasn't cheap.. still works real good. I have a neighbor who raises cattle willing to provide "fill" material for it. And the list goes on.
I'm interested in potato harvesting equipment. I built the furrowing plow for cub, works nice, but could be better. Is there anything that will harvest carrots, sweet potato's, onions, radishes..all root crops??
Sonny, you memtioned having a little trouble selling your produce. We got hooked up with a CSA (county supplied ag). They seem to have an inside track for finding custermers. I'm very hopeful anyway..you might also talk to supermarkets..there are a couple in my area that are willing to buy local veggies. Good Luck, and warm up your camera..Greg
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Sonny, You mentioned a King Cutter. I have been looking at a new 48" for $1195. Do you think this is a good price? My main hesitation is would it be that much better than the disc harrow.
47 Cub (Glenda)
52 Super A
62 Cub (Genie)
In all things know which way the wind is blowing.
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Dan! the $1195 price for new 48" would be a fair deal in todays market!----Ours is a 72" and was $1195, BUT, that was the only one they had and it was a close-out from TSC 3 years ago and they had the 48" ones sitting right next to it full price and they were $1195 too!, the smaller ones seem more popular, but I wanted a big-un,--preferred an 84", but they never got anything that big in stock! I used mine on the IH 404-u for 2 years at half depth, but last year it went on the IH 706 and pulled the skids all the way up so it goes the max. 6" depth!(with 76 hp in front it throws some serious dirt) So far we had good luck with this 72 and it just does take out the rear tire tracks, so the bigger tractor has new duty!--- There are videos of my garden equipment on my u-tube site if anyone cares to have a look at them!
Greg! ---sounds like you have most everything planed out!--by all means get all of that "fill" that you can get!!!---thats goood stuff!
Onions are best pulled by hand, since they basicly sit on top of the ground!--unless you are doing green onions!( You can see the pics of how we do onions here.--check out the onion thread we did recently here in the garden section!)---Radishes are kinda the same way since they dont all mature at the same time!
The spud digger that I made would get deep enough to go under all root crops!,---might take a couple cubs hooked to pull deep enough to get carrots but digger will easy go deep enough to get them. (videos of this in action on u-tube and I think there are links on last year or the year before garden thread too)---I still need to modify it a bit and add a drag chain to move the dug material up and off the rod grates in the bottom of the digger.
My first shovel worked good too except the spuds were spread out too wide in the mounds, allowing LOTS of them to get cut, so I made the 30" wide unit in a hurry and it works in the white sweet potatoes that we have been growing here too.!
The shovel is mounted on a bar and rod wings added to the back side and out on an angle to help lift crops and knock off some of the dirt!, (this would work well for carrots and radishes, just go as deep as needed!)
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Here is the u-tube link to my channel!
You can see all of my vids. there!
Dan!!! I did forget to tell you that I like the tiller much better than a disk, I have a couple of them too,--the ground gets chopped up nicer making for better seedbed and allowing the rain to soak down quicker!---We have went back into the garden after a 1" downpour and worked in the dirt with no problems!---this may vary from one area/soil type to the next!
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
I grew up in the city so dont have all that much farming experiance with a tractor. So I have many questions regarding the set up of the machine and the layout of the rows. I have got the typical tools to get me going-Cub,2 way plow,single plow, small disc harlow, 144 front and rear cultivators. I need to pick up a set of hilling disc but I do have the buzzard wings. So with my cub set up with 52" from outside to outside of the rears I guess thats where I start with the lay out. So that would leave me with about 30 to 32" for planting. Question for carots, Beets, and other small root plants do you plant a single row or double row within the 30"? Would it be easyier to manage and cultivate with a single row? Many more questions to follow.
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Wally!!--ask away with any questions that come to mind!!---It sounds like your wheels are set all the way in, as mine are.--next, the row width that seems to work good is 38"to 42" depending on type of crop and the bushiness of the plants. Slender plants can go lots closer than say tomatoes, potatoes, or vine crops.---I have tried onions in multi-rows (beds), but they are a lot more time consuming to weed/hoe, as they about have to be worked by hand!--single rows will still need hand weeding or chemical use( I use organic based chems.) to help keep the rows clean. The cub cultivator (144, I think thats what I just got ),--has a varied amount of factory options, as well as a whole boatload of ideas that you can conjer up and install on the unit, making for a lot of uses.--Mine came with a whole set of the narrow spring sweeps, and you may be able to space multi. rows so that you can carefully do several at the time on a single pass over each bed.--dont go too deep or you will damage the shallow roots if you are running really close rows.
The time I did the onion bed, I stagger planted each row to give plants more room to expand ( we mostly grow big sweet onions softball size ,or larger and they need a lot of room).
carrots radishes, lettuce, etc. should do well in wide (bed) config.
I only do single rows now and have for over 30 years,--always have good luck with them.
This is my main weeder!
looks crude but with a bad spine I have to lay/sit a lot and I devised this thing to help!---It is a lifesaver and I could not garden without it!!--I can straddle one row and weed/cultivate with small hand tools.--smaller tiller gets the middles for me. thanks; sonny
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season
Here is a pic from last year when we planted onion plants!
The ground was deep ripped, fall plowed, and 1 pass with the 706 and the big tiller last spring.
This is the big onions in later posts/pics from last year!---also you can see how the creeper fits the onion rows,---later as they grew I didnt have room to get down the rows without breaking off leaves, and its best not break onion leaves off! thanks; sonny

Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season(pics. & vids.)
Sonny- I just looked at many of your vids! You have done a mighty fine job on those pieces of equipment. I especially like your tator planter. I use the transplanter with the chain mechanism off of it. Worked real good for me. I never could quite see how you raised your planter tho. Is it hydraulic or trip? Greg
Re: Member Garden's for 2010 Season(pics. & vids.)
At the present time I have to raise it by hand at the end of the row to turn around!--never got to finish it up with a lift of any kind,---I made it in 18 hours, so it is extreemly crude! Virginia rides on it and has a pan of seed pieces on the front tray while I pull it real slow with the ole cadet 147 hydro drive tractor and she drops a piece every 8" behind the front v-shovel, which is adjustable for depth! ( she got good at the even spacing too), the IH disk hillers that stick out the rear cover the rows and it only takes a few mins. to plant a quarter acre of spuds with it!
I found that I didnt need the row marker,--just put the wheel in the same track that it came down on the last row!--works great and has about the right amount of dirt to have some to hill with as they grow!(I think the rows may be about 48" apart, BUT its just right).
Don!!! We dont have a foot, but maybe 5" or so BUT we got zero and below temps, plus the windchill so its mighty nasty out there! thanks; sonny

Senior duo carrying Lady Cardinals to new heights
Tue. February 05, 2013 at 11:44 a.m. | By Brent St. Germain/Sports Editor
E.D. White Catholic's Jordan Gros (23) and Genna Larose (24) have each surpassed 1,000 career points this season. (Photo by File photos)
Most high school basketball teams have one go-to player.
The E.D. White Catholic Lady Cardinals are doing it a step better this season. They have two go-to players on their roster.
This season, the Lady Cardinals have been counting on two seniors — Genna Larose and Jordan Gros — to carry them to one of the best seasons in school history. Larose and Gros have teamed up to lead the Lady Cardinals (21-5 overall) to a 16-game winning streak, a share of the District 7-3A title with a 6-0 mark and tied for fifth in the latest Louisiana Sports Writers Association's Class 3A poll.
E.D. White coach Darin Fontz said the Lady Cardinals' success is a direct correlation to senior duo's overall play this season.
"They have gone from being role players early in their career to becoming our prominent scorers their junior and senior years," Fontz said. "They both feed off each other. When they are both on, we are pretty tough to beat."
For the majority of the past two seasons, Larose and Gros have been on their game, and it has helped them reach new heights this season. In a span of 11 days, both players eclipsed the 1,000 career-point barrier.
Larose was first to accomplish the goal on Jan. 4 in a win over Houma Christian. Jordan followed by scoring her 1,000th career point on Jan. 15 against St. James.
"Coach didn't tell us how close we were until we had about 20 points left," Gros said. "We knew (Geena) was a lot closer than me, so we knew that she was going to get it first."
Larose said scoring 1,000 career points has been her goal since she was in the sixth grade after watching former E.D. White standout Ben Martin accomplish that goal during the 2006-07 season. Her brother, Trey Larose, was a member of that team.
Scoring her 1,000th career point was not on Larose's mind in that Jan. 4 game. Larose said her main focus was on getting the team ready for the start of district play in less than a week.
"Going into the game, I wasn't thinking too much about it," she said. "I was really just focused on getting that win. I was more focused on getting my teammates pumped up to make a big district run. When I did hit it, I was elated because I have been working so hard since eighth grade to achieve it. It was phenomenal."
Gros, on the other hand, had a different mindset heading into her historic game.
"Going into the game, I knew that I had three points left, so I was a little nervous," Gros said. "Whenever I made it, it was amazing to hear the crowd and see my friends in the stands with signs of support. It was an amazing feeling, nothing like I ever felt before."
Larose and Gros' success on the court can be attributed to being longtime teammates, as they started playing together when they were 6 years old. That type of camaraderie has been priceless for both players.
"We can look at each other and without saying a word just nod or heads we know what the other is going to do," Larose said. "It really works to our benefit, and it is hard to stop. It's definitely been beneficial for us."
Fontz said Larose and Gros have been more than scorers for the Lady Cardinals this season. They have emerged as the leaders on the team and are teaching the younger players what it takes to be winners.
With two games left in the regular season and a spot in the Class 3A playoffs already wrapped up, the Lady Cardinals need a win over either Port Allen (tonight at home) or St. Charles Catholic (Friday on the road) to win the outright 7-3A title. E.D. White will then turn its attention to the state playoffs, as the brackets will be released on Feb. 14.
Fontz said the Lady Cardinals appear to be playing their best basketball at the right time and have a chance to do something only the 1979-80 squad accomplished — reaching the state quarterfinals.
"We are playing some of our best basketball right now," he said. "Since the start of the second round of district play, we are cutting down on turnovers and have gotten a lot better. We haven't been to the quarterfinals since 1980, and the kids made it a goal at the beginning to get there."
Larose said she likes the Lady Cardinals chances of achieving that goal and establishing a winning foundation for the future.
"It's definitely been an amazing year," she said. "The last time we had a record this good was two years ago. Since then, we've known that we had the talent and the ability to do it, but we haven't been able to convert that into what we are looking for. Doing this with a young team, it's been really great because I will be able to come back and see how much the girls have grown."

As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Some of the world's finest wines are born in the vineyards of Spain. During this excursion you will visit a local winery and experience how a family wine is produced and bottled.
Boarding your coach at the pier, you'll start your day with a panoramic tour of Barcelona, and before proceeding to Torres Winery, you will enjoy spectacular views of the harbour and the Olympic Stadium from the Park of Montjuïc. A scenic drive of just over 1-hour brings you to the village of Vilafranca del Penedès, which has a reputation for producing wonderful wines, and the Bodegas Torres Wine Estate.
This well-respected winery was founded in 1870 by Jaime Torres and at this time, is the family winery that has the most extensive vineyards in the area. The winery has remained in the family for generations and is currently managed by the fourth generation of the Torres family. Along with the winery you will visit today, the Torres family also owns several other wineries in Spain, one in Chile and one in California.
Upon arrival, you will be treated to a tour of the cellars and observe how this family wine is produced and bottled - from planting vineyards to winemaking, from the ageing of the wine in the cellars, to the design and marketing of the Torres products. A video presentation helps bring the history of the winery to life and afterwards, you will board a small train which will take you on a relaxing tour through the winery.
Before returning to Barcelona, you will be treates to a tasting of 4 different Torres wines, accompanied by light snacks.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan.
NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you."
The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from President Obama attacking Romney's business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama's handling of the economy.
The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges from both candidates. After a weak performance after the Republican Convention, Romney surged following Obama's listless performance after the first presidential debate. Nevertheless, the president cemented a lead in battleground states heading into Tuesday's election.
Obama handily won California, which also went blue in 2008.

Fall fishing for bass is all about finesse. Water temperatures are on the fall, and fishs metabolism is slowing down.
Even with finesse fishing it is important to be weedless when fishing shallow water. To this end, I use 1- to 2-inch finishing nails. Yep, you read it right, finishing nails.
Finishing nails are nice because you can place the weight INSIDE the worm, preventing weeds that would normally cling to outside sinkers used. Nails along with a #4 Gamakatsu weedless hook, a 5-inch Senko worm, an O-ring, and 10 lbs. Power Pro line makes the perfect shallow water wacky rig.

Even with finesse fishing it is important to be weedless when fishing shallow water. To obtain this, I use 1-2 inch finishing nails. Yep- you read it right, finishing nails.
Finishing nails are nice because you can place the weight INSIDE the worm, preventing weeds that would normally cling to outside sinkers used. Nails along with a #4 Gamakatsu weedless hook, a 5-inch Senko worm, an O-ring, and 10 lbs Power Pro line makes the perfect shallow water wacky rig.
What is a Wacky?
The Wacky Rig Worm (wacky) is my second favorite bass fishing technique second only to frogging. The wacky worm is a very slow presentation; the only way to fish wacky is fast. I typically use wacky when bass arent aggressive, in-between weather fronts, or in the fall when water surface temperatures are unstable.
Hooking the wacky is very simple; you take your 5-inch Senko (a worm designed for wacky fishing) and just hook it in the middle. Because it is a finesse fishing style, smaller hooks are used.
Line matters
Line matters
For wacky or finesse fishing, I often use 10 lbs. power pro line. Unlike surface lures like frogs or buzz baits where the target is thick weeds and cover; coupled with the fishs aggressive strike and running into the same weeds- Wacky fish is more open water based.
The fish often times barley taps the lure, or in some cases causes very little resistance. I find that Power Pro line gives me the best sensitivity to feel those light bites and allows me to see the line move.
It all comes together
It all comes together
When I set up my wackys, I always try to have a few set up pre-made. I take my finishing nail, insert it into the wacky up to the nail head, then with pliers- I cut the nail head off (I find that its easier to control the nail as it goes into the worm with the head still on); then I slide one my O rig (a castrating band, but you can get small 0 rings from your local car shop).
When I fish the wacky, I focus on open water locations such as the outside of weed beds or drop offs. When fishing the marshes and shallow lakes, I dont use a sinker and focus on the worms with nails inside them. (2-10 feet)
Another way to set up wackys and a deep water presentation (10 feet-infinity) is drop shotting ; where I tie the hook with a Palomar knot, leaving about 1-2 feet of line below the hook and use a heavy sinker for a faster fall.
The nail gives the worm enough weight to fall slowly and gives it a unique action as it tends to fall headfirst. As I bring it back I SLOWLY twitch my rod-tip: pop-pop pause, then reel up any slack. I do this for about 10-15 yards to the boat (on shore I fish right up to the end). Again, the only way to work the wacky is TOO FAST.
With deeper water, I rely on the heavy sinker to keep my line tight- still using the pop-pop-pause technique, but keeping my worm off the bottom.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when using the wacky presentation is that the worm is not a worm. Because you have it hooked in the middle; the worm is being kept horizontal, while twitching. The worm can be seen as a leach or a minnow.
The whole purpose and design of the wacky is vibration. As it goes through the water, it is shaking and twitching. So the pop-pop-pause mimics that erratic movement.
When the bass strikes, it is a casual grab. Remember, you are fishing a slower technique looking for non-aggressive fish. I watch my line on the pause/fall part of my presentation for any irregular movement or tension. Once I sense the fish hit, I drop my rod-tip allowing my line to get tight- then I set the hook.
You will find the biggest challenge to wacky fishing is patience. Its a rough transition to go from the fast and furious surface bait fishing where each cast lasts 30 seconds to a minute, to the slower presentation where each cast may last 1-3 minutes.
*There are many different colors of worms- I only recommend what works in your water and encourage you to try different colors that suit you and your taste.
**There are many great websites and YouTube videos on how to tie knots.

OAKLAND -- The A's Seth Smith, Jerry Blevins and Brandon Moss were among 133 Major Leaguers who officially filed for salary arbitration on Tuesday.
Each player will exchange figures with the A's on Friday, and arbitration hearings are scheduled from Feb. 4-20, if necessary. Teams and players can negotiate on a contract all the way up to their hearing date, however, and most often a court session is avoided.
Smith will take home the largest paycheck of the trio, with MLB Trade Rumors projecting his 2013 salary to fall around the $3.3 million mark, after he earned $2.415 million last year.
This marks the second year in which Smith is arbitration-eligible. Embarking on his fifth full season in the Majors, Smith hit .240 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 125 games -- mainly split between left field and designated hitter -- last year for the A's, who plan to use him mostly at DH this season.
Blevins, embarking on his first arbitration experience, made $490,000 in 2012 while enjoying a standout season, going 5-1 with a career-best 2.48 ERA and a .201 opponents' batting average in 63 relief appearances. These numbers suggest the lefty, entering his seventh season with the A's, will likely make at least $1 million in 2013.
Moss, meanwhile, is projected to earn around $1.4 million, according to MLB Trade Rumors. The left-handed hitter spent parts of five seasons in the Majors with three different teams before enjoying a breakthrough season in 2012 with Oakland, for whom he hit .291 with 21 home runs and 52 RBIs in just 84 games.

In addition to my upcoming open water fishing rituals, turkey season and other outdoor activities when the snow finally leaves us, I teach the sport of bowhunting and archery.
For the last 15-plus years each spring, myself and several members of the Whitetail bowhunters club in Johnsonville, host an annual six week archery program for kids.
The program is simple. Teach and recruit kids to take up shooting bows and arrows in a safe and responsible manner, while having a lot of fun in the process. We start them as young as five years old on up to age 18 and we do it at no cost. We provide all the gear needed which includes bows, arrrows, finger tabs, arm guards and even a couple of string releases. Kids are welcomed to bring their own gear, but archery equipment is expensive and we accomodate as many kids as we can. A lot of the equipment we provide was donated by the Sheboygan County Conservation Association, by parents and by the club.
More on hunting: Hunting headlines | 2012-2013 trophy shots | More hunting photos | Watch a rebroadcast of Deer Camp Live | Registration station map | Hunting blogs
The beauty of this program and others like it is that we teach the discipline needed to learn basic shooting skills. Being an athlete isn't neccesary. We also offer every kid a chance to 'get in the game,' all while helping them find out just how cool shooting sports are.
Many of the kids return year after year and often these kids will go on to other archery programs like the ones the 4-H club has to offer and the Junior Oympic Archery Development (JOAD) both of which the Whitetail Bowhunters club has a large role in Sheboygan Cunty.
But our annual kids program is often where these kids get started. We run two classes each Saturday for kids ages five to 11 with the second class running for 12 to 18 year olds. The younger kids get the basics down on thier form and safety. They have a lot of fun shooting at both animal targets, bullseye targets and time balloons.
The older kids are generally more experienced, with a few rookies coming in, and quickly learn what to do. Archery isn't like a lot of sports where looking at a playbook is required, or physical conditioning is needed. By the end of the six weeks, kids grow more confident in their shooting abilities. Many of them go on to become bowhunters.
Last weekend I enjoyed teaching some boys from my church, Christian Life Assembly of God. The Royal Rangers (much like the Boy Scouts) came out to earn their archery merits. Two of the kids had never shot a bow before, and the others had very limited experience. Within the two hour session, they all shot relatively well and even the two that never had held a bow had their form down. One was even shooting with a release!
It looks like most of them are going to be having a future in archery whether in target shooting or bowhunting. In both scenarios parents often grab a bow and throw a few arrows themselves, since most of them have never shot a bow. You don't often find family participation at a ball park.
We as parents and shooters of bows and guns owe it to our kids to try and pass a love for these activities on to the next generation. Buy a kid a bow and arrow set and take them shooting.
If you live in or around Sheboygan County, and would like to have a kid take part in one of the programs offered like the archery program for kids, 4-H, or the JOAD, call the club at 920-467-3144 for more information.

By now, you have probably heard the disturbing news out of California, Colorado, Florida and New York that a somewhat random cohort of sheriffs is refusing to enforce some federal gun laws, arguing that they are constitutionally vague.
But, in case you hadn't, the New York Times noticed, by golly, and spread the word earlier this month in an overwrought, nearly 2,000-word account of this ominous lurch toward sedition. The Times quoted various sheriffs who contend that those laws are confusing, in some cases unenforceable, and may not be constitutional.
Who do these sheriffs think they are anyway, deciding on their own whether they should enforce the law?
New York's Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared that the refusal of a couple of sheriffs to enforce his state's Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE), which mandates universal background checks, could set "a dangerous and frightening precedent."
Well, yeah, it could, if the precedent of refusing to enforce existing laws or unilaterally modifying them had not already been set, multiple times, by the leader of Cuomo's party, President Obama.
From the fever swamps of the left, the Daily Kos website scolded the sheriffs for "breaking a public trust."
"They should remember that they are meant to be the servants of the law, not its masters," one of their writers huffed.
Ah, yes, servants of the law. Such high-minded, self-righteous devotion to the law would be touching if it weren't so, uh, selective.
If you've been paying attention, you know that the Daily Kos, other leftist organizations, members of Congress and President Obama openly support exactly what they are condemning here, when it comes to other issues.
In their view, the law, as written, doesn't really matter anymore if they perceive it as inconvenient, immoral, too nationalistic or anything else they find personally objectionable. The law is no longer what it says but what they want it to say, or what they decide to enforce.
I think the whole problem for the sheriffs is a failure of marketing. They need to take a page from the advocates of illegal immigration. They should simply describe the areas where they will not be enforcing certain gun laws as "Sanctuary Cities."
How American is the concept of sanctuary? I mean, it says it right there on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." And, of course, what it meant to include was, "and don't worry about abiding by our immigration laws."
The sheriffs need to make sure that they conflate legal and illegal gun ownership. They should contend, ceaselessly, that anybody who opposes illegal gun ownership is opposed to gun ownership in general. Because that is the mantra on immigration: Anybody who opposes illegal immigration is "anti-immigrant."
That means the sheriffs need to scrub troublesome words like "law" and "illegal" out of any discussions of the issue so they don't muddy the narrative.
Anybody packing heat illegally will simply be described as "lacking proper documentation" for the right to carry his or her weapon. Why should the absence of a few slips of paper matter?
If the sheriffs get any grief from the public or other government officials, they should follow the example of our elected leaders. They should say there is a need for "comprehensive firearm reform" that will provide a "pathway to gun ownership." Everybody who is breaking the law every day in the meantime gets a pass because Congress can't get its act together, which is to say that Congress hasn't passed the kind of legislation the sheriffs want.
They should follow Obama's lead and hold press conferences to say, "We can't wait" for Congress to act (the way they wish), so they will act in Congress' stead.
And, yes, all of this would be both dangerous and absurd.
Those who are complaining about the sheriffs are correct. The Daily Kos is correct to assert that government officials should be "servants of the law," not its masters.
But why are they surprised? When this kind of conduct comes from the top, it trickles down. That is the really dangerous, frightening thing.
It is not just that the president decided, on his own, that he would not enforce laws on immigration, marriage and other issues that he had sworn an oath to uphold. He won't even enforce the law he fought to pass – his signature health care law.
By most estimates, Obama has now modified that law at least 14 times without the consent of Congress. While he and his acolytes regularly remind opponents of Obamacare that it is "settled law," they ignore, delay or modify its provisions to grant waivers to favored groups or delay any that are politically inconvenient.
One of the most recent – and mind boggling – was the announcement that those with canceled insurance plans would now be allowed to buy cheaper, so-called "catastrophic" plans - the exact kinds of plans that that have been banned by the law and ridiculed as "substandard."
In this country, the rule has always been: If you don't like the law, work to change it. The president and his party have changed that to: If you don't like the law, ignore it.
They can't really blame the sheriffs for following their example.
