What kind of bird has a neck like a snake and legs like stilts? A heron does. Herons are leggy, mostly long-necked wading birds.
Long legs allow herons to wade into lakes and ponds in search of food. Long, thin toes help them walk on the soft, mucky lake bottom without sinking or getting stuck.
Six species of herons live in Minnesota during spring and summer: great blue heron, black-crowned night heron, green heron, great egret, American bittern, and least bittern.
Heron nests are easy to spot in early spring before the trees leaf out. Three great rookeries are Kabekona rookery southwest of LaPorte on Minnesota 64, Madden's rookery north of Brainerd on County 77, and Pigeon Lake rookery south of Dassel on Minnesota 15.
During breeding season, most herons gather in large colonies to nest. This nesting place is called a rookery.
Herons use dry twigs to build their sloppy nests. Often, they put the twigs so far apart that you can look up through the bottom of the nest and see the eggs!
A rookery might have a few nests or as many as 200 nests. Different species build their nests at different heights, from ground level to 160 feet in the air.
Herons nest in big groups for a good reason - a lot more eyes watching out for predators. By building their nesting colonies near marshes, lakes, and streams, often on islands, the birds can stay away from predators such as snakes, raccoons, and foxes. Crows still can raid the nests.
Because the parent birds might leave their nests if people bother them, some rookeries on state land are not open to people from May 15 through July 15.
The largest of North America's 12 heron species, the great blue heron stands almost 4 feet tall.
This adaptable bird lives throughout Minnesota. The southern and central parts of the state have the largest rookeries. Great blue herons often choose the highest treetops for their nests.
Male and female great blue herons show off to each other during courtship. They flap their wings and dance in circles. They nibble at each other's feathers. The males strut and peck at each other, swinging their bills like swords.
Though great blue herons sometimes eat walleyes, northerns, and other game fish, they feed mostly on small nongame fish, aquatic insects, crayfish, frogs, and small mammals such as mice.
During nesting season, both parent birds incubate the eggs and feed the chicks. The parents fly off in search of food, then return and regurgitate food for the chicks. After they have raised their families, great blue herons fly south to spend the winter in wetlands and coastal waters of the southern United States and Central America. Except during the breeding season, they live alone.
Often herons swallow their food alive. Sometimes a heron catches a fish and flips it into the air so it goes down head first. Sometimes a heron spears and shakes the fish to kill it and make it easier to eat.
This medium-sized heron stands about 2 feet tall. Its legs are shorter than those of other herons.
In the spring black-crowned night herons live in rookeries with egrets and great blue herons. This is the bird that nests 160 feet high in fir trees in Oregon.
Black-crowned night herons make a loud quock sound when disturbed. They are most often heard at dusk and dawn.
Unlike most water birds, green herons use bait to catch their food. They present worms and twigs to lure small fish closer to the shoreline.
When startled, green herons fly away quickly. They make an alarm call that sounds like skeow, and leave a small white trail of bird droppings, which has earned the green heron the nickname "chalk line."
Green herons nest in small trees and bushes near water. The male selects the nesting place and starts building. Later he brings sticks to the female, which finishes the nest. Sometimes green herons remodel an old egret or black-crowned night heron nest. Both parents incubate the eggs.
Egrets are herons too. The name egret comes from the long back feathers called aigrettes, which appear during breeding season.
Egrets nest in rookeries. Parents feed their nestlings about four meals a day. Older, stronger baby egrets will kill their smaller siblings if they do not have enough food to go around. Adults will not interfere in the youngsters' battles.
In the early 1900s, the feather trade almost wiped out egrets in many places around the world. Most aigrettes ended up on hats. Hunters sold the feathers for $32 an ounce - two times the price of gold at that time. Fortunately, fashion trends changed, and people passed laws to protect the birds. The Audubon Society formed to save egrets and other wading birds. It took more than 30 years for egrets to make a comeback.
In tall reeds a 2-foot-tall bittern waits for its prey. At dawn and dusk it dines on insects, frogs, crayfish, and small fish.
If you walked nearby, you probably would not see the bittern. Its body blends with the reeds. It even sways with the breeze. Pointed up at the sky, its beak looks like a reed.
The bittern belches out a weird song. Imagine a quartet of singers loudly singing the low notes - oong-ka' choonk. That's what a bittern sounds like. The booming call has earned it the names "thunder-pumper" and "bog bull."
The bittern calls to warn rival males and to attract a female mate. To threaten a rival and court a mate, the male also shows a ruffle of white feathers on its back.
The female handles all of the chores of raising the family, including building the nest.

Take a quick stroll down memory lane with PFW for a recap of the Bears' Week 11 contests each of the last five seasons:
2009: The Bears came out on the wrong side of a back-and-forth game in a 24-20 loss to the Eagles. PK Robbie Gould, who hit 4-of-5 field goals on the day, was Chicago's lone source of points until QB Jay Cutler finally gave the Bears their first touchdown on a 15-yard strike to TE Kellen Davis late in third quarter. It put Chicago ahead, but Eagles RB LeSean McCoy scored later on a 10-yard run to seal the deal for Philadelphia.
2008: The Bears were held to a field goal in a 37-3 loss to the Packers. Gould connected on a 35-yarder in the second quarter before Green Bay scored 30 unanswered points to end the game. RB Matt Forté gained 64 yards on 16 carries, and QBs Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman were a combined 17-of-33 for just 159 yards.
2007: Grossman threw for 266 yards but was held without a touchdown pass in the Bears' 30-23 loss to the Seahawks. WR Bernard Berrian was Grossman's top target, reeling in nine catches for 102 yards. RBs Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson scored Chicago's touchdowns on the ground, as Benson led the way with 89 yards on 11 carries.
2006: Bears CB Nathan Vasher and LB Brian Urlacher each had interceptions in the Bears' 10-0 win over the Jets. Gould hit a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter to open the scoring. Grossman connected with WR Mark Bradley on a 57-yard strike in the fourth quarter to put Chicago up 10, and the Bears cruised to victory.
2005: The Bears' defense held the Panthers scoreless through three quarters and ultimately allowed just a field goal in a 13-3 win. Chicago got on the board early with a first-quarter touchdown pass from Orton to WR Muhsin Muhammad, and Gould added a pair of field goals to extend the lead. The "D" was the story, as Vasher had a pair of interceptions and DE Adewale Ogunleye recorded three sacks.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Otsego County Acting Treasurer Henry "Russ" Bachman said Wednesday he is optimistic that he county's fiscal position is strong enough to avoid layoffs of county workers and to give department managers raises for the first time in more than six years.
Bachman in recent weeks has been developing a proposed 2014 county budget in conjunction with the Board of Representatives.
Ultimately, it will be up to the 14-member board to determine whether any jobs at county agencies should be cut and whether managerial employees should be awarded modest salary increases in the final spending blueprint, which would take effect Jan. 1.
The county's treasury has been strained by steadily escalating subsidies to the Otsego Manor nursing home, which is being marketed to prospective buyers from the private sector by a local development corporation formed earlier this year.
The projected total county contribution to the Manor for 2014 stands at $5.7 million, Bachman said in an interview.
Selling the Manor next year — a goal that should be attainable, given that eight companies, including Bassett Healthcare Network, have submitted bids for the 174-bed facility — should greatly alleviate the stress on the county's financial position, Bachman said.
"The Manor is the key," Bachman said. "This is the problem in the budget. It's not other departments or anything else."
He noted he might have to amend his forecast, depending on revenue reports for sales tax and bed tax receipts due to arrive over the next several weeks.
"We're still in the preliminary stage," said Bachman, whose services were retained by the county board after county Treasurer Dan Crowell, a member of the U.S. Army Reserves, went on active duty earlier this year.
Crowell, a Democrat, is expected to return to his county post later this month, in time to prepare for the November election when he faces a challenge from Cooperstown Treasurer Edward Keator Jr., who is backed by the Republican Party.
The overwhelming majority of county department heads, Bachman said, have presented what he called austere spending plans that avoid any spending increases for the next fiscal year.
County Rep. Rich Murphy, D-town of Oneonta, the board's vice chairman, said Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. was able to produce $184,000 in savings in his department's budget. Other agency heads are also trying to tighten the belt on spending, he said.
"The more reductions we can get in a meaningful way from other departments reduces the likelihood that we will even have to have a discussion about layoffs," he said.
Murphy said while there is considerable justification for giving department managers a salary increase, the board will need more data before making such a decision.
"We certainly can't promise that at this point," he said.
Over the past year, Murphy noted, the county has been hit with two major repair projects: the washout of a section of county Route 31 and the closing of a bridge on county Route 11-C caused by a truck mishap. The tab for those two projects totals about $1.9 million, an expense the county could not have anticipated when the 2013 budget was packaged, he said.

Amazon Cloud Drive Photos has hit Google Play, and it's giving Android users yet another simple way to access and store photos in the cloud. The Photos app joins Amazon's existing MP3 app in an apparent effort to get users even more integrated with the company's storage service. In case you're not familiar, Amazon Cloud Drive is similar to Dropbox and Google Drive, and it even gives users a free 5GB of storage space just for signing up.
If there's one thing I can say about the Amazon Cloud Drive Photos app, it's that it's easy to use. Its dead simple interface makes it a snap to view photos, share to other installed apps, and, of course, transfer between your cloud-based account and your mobile device. It performs reliably, and even shows newly uploaded items without refreshing first. If you are already an avid user of Amazon Cloud Drive, then this app is absolutely a must-have. If you're not, then it's certainly worth a look for the free 5GB of storage alone.

Our family includes my husband and me and our 3 teenagers (16, 15 and 13). We chose Freedom of the Seas because it had a lot of activities to offer our children.
Port Canaveral is such an easy port to deal with. We parked at Park N Cruise for $5 a day, and they dropped us off at the terminal 10 minutes away. Royal Caribbean took our bags right there. We then got in a long line. The line actually went pretty fast and soon we were on board.
Cabins- We had 2 interior cabins. On the down side, they were tiny. The shower was small. On the plus side, they were super quiet and completely dark. The beds were comfortable and I slept great. My husband worked out every day and just showered at the gym. Those showers were bigger. Also, since we had so much to do, we weren't in the rooms that much.
Dining- We ate all breakfasts in the MDR. The first morning I learned that they do not seat partial parties. Also, they will seat you with other passengers to fill up tables and use as few tables as possible. My 2 daughters were coming right behind us and they tried to seat us at a table for 4 with 2 other passengers. We got it worked out, but on future mornings, we waited in the lobby until we were all there. The breakfasts in the MDR were relaxing. My husband ordered off of the menu and went to get more at the buffet. They bring fresh pastries and orange juice and coffee to the table. I requested iced tea and they brought that to me. On the buffet, I always got the fresh fruit, granola, nuts and whipped cream. Very tasty. My daughter did not care for the pancakes or french toast but enjoyed the eggs and bacon. People told us that they ate breakfast in the Windjammer and the MDR and the MDR was a much better experience.
Lunch- We never tried the MDR for lunch because they closed too early. We ate every day in the Windjammer. Here, the problems are finding a table and meeting up with your family. There is an area where you can wait and the waiters will get you a table. I recommend going there the first day and letting them help you. It is too frustrating on your own. It was nice that they kept the Windjammer open longer on port days. Also, they go from lunch to an afternoon tea every day. So, you usually can get food and drink in there. I drank iced tea from there all day!
Dinners- Every night we ate dinner in the MDR. It was a pleasant experience. On many nights, at the end of the meal, the head waiter introduced the bar staff or the waiters or the cooks. They played music and marched around. Everyone waved their white napkins over their heads or clapped. It is very festive and we all enjoyed it.
On Monday, we went to the Meet and Mingle which was held in Olive or Twist lounge. It has an amazing view. The assistant cruise director Jaime was the emcee. He is so funny. They gave away several prizes including 30 minutes of free internet. You should definitely go; you may get lucky!
There are so many activities ranging from origami to Michael Jackson Name that Tune to the 70's dance party. We went to many of them and had a great time. The Quest show is super popular; we had a tough time finding a seat. Get there early. The Love and Marriage show was hilarious. The ice show was great as well the Once Upon a Time musical. On the whole, my husband and I were impressed with the entertainment. The welcome aboard show and the farewell show were just so-so.
Teen Activities
My kids had so much fun and met other teens from all over, including girls celebrating their quinceanera. They held dances every night for the teens. They had teen ice-skating time, a teen rock climbing competition, a teen scavenger hunt and teen flow-rider time. My daughter said that the ice skates were bad and the ice was rough, but she still had fun. The teen soccer game never happened for some unexplained reason which disappointed my other daughter. She said that all of the kids showed up, but no teen rep came to set up. Also, there are several activities on the schedule. My 16 year old would show up to participate and the teen rep would ask the kids if they wanted to start the activity (such as Battle of the Sexes). If they said no, it didn't happen. She was frustrated and stopped going to the scheduled activities because she felt like they weren't going to happen. Luckily, she also likes doing the adult crafts such as napkin folding and origami.
The teen boys played basketball. I also saw teens having fun playing volleyball.
This ship kept my kids so busy that it allowed my husband and me to sit and read and nap on the adult side. It was so relaxing. We never heard, "What can I do?" or "I'm bored."
We had sailed on Disney Fantasy last summer and had a ball. We were wondering if this ship could provide just as fun an experience. Yes, it was as fun. We all had a great vacation and created many memories!

There were different people walking around and some of them might be also workers...(who are working on renovation?) Shared bathroom and toilete are not clean enough, also room for breakfast. There was no evidence of any cleaning person at all. Facilities, mostly shared bathrooms are quite poor. Rooms need to be fresh painted.

Excellent kitchen facilities. Good bathroom facilities. Bed linen was rather worn and old. The stairs and the lift areas are rather cold and have the feel of a car park rather than a hostel. The security doors only add to this effect, making it fe3el a bit like a prison, but on the flip side, it does make for a secure environment. In conclusion, the hostel is fine to spend a night or two as it is clean, conveniently-located and decent value, but it's unlikely that one will make friends here.

SOURCE IneedMD Inc.
ORADELL, N.J., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week U.S. Congressman Scott Garrett, Representative of New Jersey's 5th District met with IneedMD Inc., manufacturers of the lifesaving technology called the EKG Glove. IneedMD's Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Govindan Gopinathan MD, a resident of Garrett's constituency has long since been impressed with Garrett's representation of the region. Dr. Gopinathan wanted to take time, while attending meetings in the Washington DC area, to sit down with the Congressman to offer a nonpartisan, physician's perspective on the lifesaving technology and evolution of the ECG (electrocardiogram) technology, in particular for the ambulatory use.
With the predicted increase in America's aging population and the urgent need to lower the costs associated with healthcare, the FDA cleared EKG Glove answers the call for saving lives by enhancing access to healthcare and reducing costs. IneedMD is leading the way for mHealth and Tele-health technology poised to change the way healthcare is administered in the future. This disposable, easy to use, 12 lead ECG offers a plethora of applications for military, hospital, public and retirement community use. "Our meeting went really well," explains Dr. Gopinathan MD. "The goal was to introduce this affordable, lifesaving technology to Rep Garrett and to show the endless real life scenarios for its use. As a physician I was quite impressed with the Congressman's vast knowledge on the topic of healthcare and medical technology."
The EKG Glove is disposable and virtually eliminates patient cross-contamination and staff infections caused by unsanitary "spaghetti" wires, used in recording conventional EKGs. Using the EKG Glove drastically reduces medico-legal exposure associated with performing unsanitary EKG's. The EKG Glove also radically reduces the time required to prepare and administer a full, diagnostic 12 lead ECG. With minimal training, any capable adult can apply the EKG Glove and administer an EKG using existing (legacy) equipment or any number of new portable, wireless solutions. The consolidated functionality and form factor of the EKG Glove means cables aren't required to be reattached over and over again. It's portable, cost effective, and easier to use. The EKG glove can be worn for up to 24 hours therefore performing multiple exams on a single patient throughout the day is easier than ever before. The material used to make the glove does not cause skin allergy and the glove does not show up in chest X-rays.
About IneedMD, Inc.
IneedMD Inc. has developed a proprietary, disposable device used in the diagnosis, prevention, and monitoring of cardiovascular disease called The EKG Glove™. The EKG Glove™ is designed to obtain an ECG/EKG using pre-positioned electrodes affixed to the underside of a glove-like sheath. The EKG Glove is portable, disposable, and leverages printed circuit technology to deliver a full 12 lead diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) with a single use "peel and stick" action. The single use aspect of The EKG Glove™ targets the growing problem of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), while also reducing the 30%, nearly 1 in 3, error rate associated with the painstaking manual placement of leads.

The ink has been dry on the Michael Pineda/Jesus Montero deal for only a week, but rumors have been heard that this deal could have turned out differently for the Mariners.
Supposedly, the Blue Jays had been approached about acquiring Pineda, and though no names were publicly mentioned, a player from Toronto's major league roster would likely have been involved. Brett Lawrie's name immediately came to mind.
At Lookout Landing, Jeff Sullivan posted his thoughts on this deal that never was:
It's really easy to see this turning into a debate about how the merits of Jesus Montero stack up against the merits of Brett Lawrie, just like how people used to debate about how the merits of Jesus Montero stacked up against the merits of Justin Smoak. That wouldn't be fair. We don't know what it would've cost to get Lawrie. The Mariners didn't turn down Lawrie and go for Montero; the Mariners had Lawrie turned down for them, and then they went for Montero. Lawrie might have been their first choice. If it's any consolation, based on the previous example I guess this means Brett Lawrie will be a Mariner within the next two years.
For what it's worth, I think getting Lawrie instead of Montero would've made the Pineda trade easier to digest initially. People in Washington love Brett Lawrie. There's the Canadian thing, and the Danielle Lawrie thing, and the not-Chone-Figgins thing, and so on. Montero's not an unknown, but I think in the area he's more of an unknown than Lawrie. Lawrie would've been welcomed.
In the end, Sullivan says Mariners fans will probably be happy with Montero, and at this point anything else is just make-believe, and appears to wish all of this would just go away.

Breaking now-- CIA Director David Petraeus submits resignation—
Bret Baier (@BretBaier) November 09, 2012
General David Petraeus has resigned his post as CIA Director, citing an extramarital affair.
RT @joshrogin: Petraeus' statement to CIA staff on his resignation goo.gl/1q5zd—
Philip Klein (@philipaklein) November 09, 2012
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation.
As I depart Langley, I want you to know that it has been the greatest of privileges to have served with you, the officers of our Nation's Silent Service, a work force that is truly exceptional in every regard. Indeed, you did extraordinary work on a host of critical missions during my time as director, and I am deeply grateful to you for that.
Teddy Roosevelt once observed that life's greatest gift is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing. I will always treasure my opportunity to have done that with you and I will always regret the circumstances that brought that work with you to an end.
Thank you for your extraordinary service to our country, and best wishes for continued success in the important endeavors that lie ahead for our country and our Agency.
With admiration and appreciation,
David H. Petraeus
The White House has issued a statement in response:

The New Reality for Managing Supplier Risk
It's harder than you think
Recent events in the financial markets have indicated the increasing significance and importance for organizations to establish rigorous Supplier Risk Management (SRM) controls. These events have further enforced the demand for organizations to adopt a broad SRM program, with effective governance controls, supplier metrics, mitigation strategies, risk management processes and reporting.
Deloitte's experience indicates that implementing an effective SRM model with appropriate processes, systems and tools, and supplemented by individuals with the requisite skill sets, organizations can achieve the aforementioned and effectively identify, track, manage, and help mitigate supplier risks at the enterprise level.
Download the attached document to read more, including insights relating to the following questions:
- Why should organizations pay attention to SRM?
- Why have some organizations been more effective than others?
- What are the common challenges that organizations should address when implementing SRM?
- What are the critical success factors for SRM in an organization?

NEW ORLEANS -- Acclaimed New Orleans musician Glen David Andrews pleaded guilty today in Orleans Parish court to domestic violence and aggravated assault charges.
In a plea deal with state prosecutors, the 32-year-old trombone player confessed to threatening and strangling his on-again, off-again girlfriend earlier this year. The case centered on two separate incidents with the victim.
Criminal District Court Judge Benedict Willard issued a three-year suspended sentence, which means Andrews will avoid jail time, records show. Willard also ordered Andrews to serve three years of active probation, and to stay away from the victim.
The musician was initially charged with attempted murder, but eventually pleaded to domestic violence by strangulation and aggravated assault, both felonies. Christopher Bowman, spokesman for the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office, noted that it was a difficult case and the plea deal was agreed upon by prosecutors, the victim and Andrews.
"The issues we were faced with – unfortunately we have to deal with in a lot of domestic violent cases – and that's a less than fully cooperative victim," Bowman said.
Thursday evening, Andrews released a message on Twitter: "Let he without sin cast the first stone? Thank God for all I'm going thru its helped humble. Myself an put my past behind me!"
His attorney said this summer that Andrews entered a drug rehabilitation program at a Massachusetts treatment center. The raspy-voiced, self-proclaimed Crown Prince of Treme has talked candidly about his issues with drugs and his struggles with sobriety in the past.
Andrews was arrested in 2008 for possession of cocaine, and he pleaded guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia. He completed his probation in July 2011.

(CNN) – Lots of baby photos, fitness selfies, medical records and resumes are among thousands of private communications scooped up and stored by NSA spy programs, according to Edward Snowden.
Snowden provided The Washington Post with what it said were 160,000 intercepted conversations, including emails, instant messages, photographs, social network posts and other documents.
The trove included messages exchanged from 2009 through 2012, and some were hundreds of pages long.
Nearly 90 percent of the individuals, or accounts, whose information was obtained were not federal targets, but rather ordinary internet users, a Post analysis found.
Some were identified by either the government or newspaper as Americans.

Austin, Texas television station KVEU, an ABC affiliate, and FOX 2 Now in St. Louis were among several national television news organizations to air a CNN News report on five rare orange lobsters caught recently in Maine waters. The reports cited research by the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine, which has said chances of catching a rare blue or an orange lobster — before being cooked — are 1 in a million, and that the chances of catching a yellow lobster is 1 in 30 million. An albino lobster? A 1 in 100 million chance, the report said.

Both Chelsea and Aston Villa enjoyed perfect starts to the season, with the former picking up a comfortable 2-0 win against newly-promoted Hull City, and the latter an unexpected 3-1 victory over Arsenal. They go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, with Villa hoping to win away at Chelsea for the first time since December 2011.
Chelsea have no fresh doubts from the weekend. Brazilian defender David Luiz is still recovering from a hamstring strain and could miss out, alongside midfielder John Obi Mikel -- who was ruled out of playing on international duty with a stomach bug -- and young midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, who sustained a knock while with the England U21 team.
Villa's only new injury concern is Nathan Baker, who was withdrawn from the victory over Arsenal with an ankle injury. He could be sidelined with Yacouba Sylla, Chris Herd and Charles N'Zogbia, who all missed the weekend's match.
Chelsea injuries and suspensions
Out: None. In doubt: David Luiz (hamstring), John Obi Mikel (illness), Nathaniel Chalobah (knock).
Aston Villa injuries and suspensions
Out: None. In doubt: Yacouba Sylla (ankle), Chris Herd (calf), Charles N'Zogbia (achilles) Nathan Baker (ankle).
Projected lineups
Chelsea: Petr Čech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanović; Frank Lampard, Ramires; Eden Hazard, Oscar, Kevin De Bruyne; Fernando Torres
Aston Villa: Brad Guzan; Antonio Luna, Ciaran Clark, Ron Vlaar, Matthew Lowton; Fabian Delph, Ashley Westwood, Karim El Ahmadi; Gabriel Agbonlahor, Christian Benteke, Andreas Weimann

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - Paul Ryan sat down for an interview on Monday with ABC 12 in Flint, Michigan, and things didn't go quite as planned.
In the clip, which was removed from ABC 12's website but captured and posted by BuzzFeed, the station's reporter asks Ryan, "Does this country have a gun problem?'
The GOP vice presidential candidate responds that "this country has a
crime problem." When the reporter asks for clarification, Ryan explains
that "good, strong gun laws" are currently on the books, "but we have

MSNBC's Todd Seems to Scoff at Passage of Conservative Ballot Question Regarding Sharia Law
"This is the type of direct democracy people say they want. Sometimes you wonder," MSNBC's Chuck Todd editorialized after a segment about conservative ballot initiatives that passed into law on Tuesday.
Towards the bottom of the 9 a.m. EDT hour of "The Daily Rundown," reporter Mara Schiavocampo looked at a handful of state ballot initiatives that voters had considered at the polls on Tuesday. [Video after page break]
Aside from Proposition 19 -- the marijuana legalization measure which was rejected by California voters -- Schiavocampo noted two conservative ballot questions that passed in Oklahoma: a measure declaring English the official language of the Sooner State and a measure forbidding consideration of Islamic sharia law or international law in rulings made by Oklahoma state judges.
Schiavocampo insisted that "critics" -- whom she failed to name -- dismissed the ballot questions as "cultural wedge issues that were designed to bring conservatives to the polls."
Regarding the sharia law question, Schiavocampo said "it should be noted that nobody was attempting to use sharia law in Oklahoma in making legal decisions, but supporters of the law said that this was a preemptive strike against anything like that."
While perhaps no one is on record having attempted to use sharia law principles in an Oklahoma court proceeding, there has been at least one judge in another state who have made a horrendous decision based on undue deference to a Muslim defendant's reactionary reading of Islamic law.
The Heritage Foundation's The Foundry blog noted that case from New Jersey in a September 2 post:
Does Sharia law allow a husband to rape his wife, even in America? A New Jersey trial judge thought so. In a recently overturned case, a "trial judge found as a fact that defendant committed conduct that constituted a sexual assault" but did not hold the defendant liable because the defendant believed he was exercising his rights over the victim. Fortunately, a New Jersey appellate court reversed the trial judge. But make no mistake about it: this is no isolated incident. We will see more cases here in the United States where others attempt to impose Sharia law, under the guise of First Amendment protections, as a defense against crimes and other civil violations.
In S.D. v. M.J.R., the plaintiff, a Moroccan Muslim woman, lived with her Moroccan Muslim husband in New Jersey. She was repeatedly beaten and raped by her husband over the course of several weeks. While the plaintiff was being treated for her injuries at a hospital, a police detective interviewed her and took photographs of her injuries. Those photographs depicted injuries to plaintiff's breasts, thighs and arm, bruised lips, eyes and right check. Further investigation established there were blood stains on the pillow and sheets of plaintiff's bed.
The wife sought a permanent restraining order, and a New Jersey trial judge held a hearing in order to decide whether to issue the order. Evidence at trial established, among other things, that the husband told his wife, "You must do whatever I tell you to do. I want to hurt your flesh" and "this is according to our religion. You are my wife, I c[an] do anything to you." The police detective testified about her findings, and some of the photographs were entered into evidence.
The defendant's Imam testified that a wife must comply with her husband's sexual demands and he refused to answer whether, under Islamic law, a husband must stop his sexual advances on his wife if she says "no."
The trial judge found that most of the criminal acts were indeed proved, but nonetheless denied the permanent retraining order. This judge held that the defendant could not be held responsible for the violent sexual assaults of his wife because he did not have the specific intent to sexually assault his wife, and because his actions were "consistent with his [religious] practices." In other words, the judge refused to issue the permanent restraining order because under Sharia law, this Muslim husband had a "right" to rape his wife.
Besides the fact that the ruling is wrong as a legal matter, and offensive beyond words, it goes to the heart of the controversy about the insidious spread of Sharia law—the goal of radical Islamic extremists.
A "preemptive strike" against that nightmare seems a worthy matter to put before a state's voters.

And why shouldn't it be????
What's not to like about Sharia law???
By all means, let's wait until a guy beats his wife nearly to death and then talk about Sharia law as an extenuating circumstance!
Are these people really so gob-smackingly stupid?

Submitted by ThisnThat on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 12:51pm.
Will they support sharia law and throw the wife under the bus to defend the rights of the poor, downtrodden midevial neanderthals, or will they support the beaten and raped wife by congragulating Oklahoma on their new law? After all, don't liberals always like to say: "Whatever the price, preventing one rape is worth it"?
Or is the question to hot to handle, so their best choice (as usual) is to issue a "No Comment"? To answer that question, let's go directly to the tape -- NOW's Violence against Women web site:
Oh my, look at all the outrage: against the U.S. military; against the clergy; against the entire United States of America; against Dick Cheney and his buddies. NOW is even mad at Mexico.
But what about the most open, violent, religion-inspired women-abusing group of people in the world -- muslims? NOW says <<cricket>> <<cricket>> <<cricket>>. Not a single complaint. I love it when the lack of moral compass twists these so-called "rights" organizations into such obvious acts of hypocricy.

MSNBC is staffed with idiots and liberals
Submitted by JakeMo on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 12:57pm.
The law is against deciding cases based on foreign law AND Sharia law. The latter being a subset of the former. Much like when I say "MSNBC is staffed with idiots and liberals," I could just leave out the "liberals" part to avoid being redundant, but I toss it in just for good measure in case the idiots don't understand set theory.
And we have plenty of examples of judges deciding cases by looking at foreign law. Hasn't she been paying attention to the decisions of the Supreme Court? Aren't the bright bulbs at MSNBC the ones that keep telling us that looking to foreign law when deciding cases is a sign of "enlightenment?"
Ms. Schiavocampo might also be unaware that the Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws. If we wait until someone uses Sharia law to decide a case, it's too late. We can't make the law after the fact. That would be unconstitutional.

...when the pro-sharia crowd starts lobbying for polygamous marriages because having multiple wives is part of their culure and they are holding up the successful pro-gay marriage lobby as an example of equal rights.
The slippery slope argument against gay marriage actually holds water...it starts with two guys who want to marry, then the polygamist will want to legally marry his multiple wives, and then somewhere down the road you'll have someone who wants to marry their dog or their horse. Who knew that the polygamist in this story was going to be from the most bass-ackward culture on the face of the planet which continually denies the most basic human rights to its denizens?

Submitted by JakeMo on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 1:59pm.
California has decided to buck the conservative trend in an heroic attempt to prove the great socialist experiment can work despite historical evidence to the contrary.
Since they're in the mood to "experiment," I think California should try to prove Sharia law can work as well.

THE CLEVELAND SHOW is an animated series that follows everyone's favorite soft-spoken neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), to his hometown in Virginia as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, her unruly kids and his own 14-year-old son, CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson).
Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA (Sanaa Lathan). Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he'd be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong.
Donna's husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenage daughter and a young son. Now she's open to Cleveland and has offered him another chance at love. True to his word, Cleveland joyously reunites with Donna, and he and Cleveland Jr. settle in Virginia to join their new family.
In Virginia, there are a few surprises in store for Cleveland, including ROBERTA (Reagan Gomez-Preston), a rebellious new stepdaughter; RALLO (Henry), his new 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, HOLT (guest voice Jason Sudeikis); and a religious pair of talking bears, TIM (Seth MacFarlane) and his wife ARIANNA (guest voice Arianna Huffington).
In the upcoming season, guest voices include Jamie Kennedy, Taraji P. Henson, Kanye West and Fergie.

Not Size Listed
By Sar79
from Tucson, AZ
I love these tablecloths for my round table. . . they fit perfectly and lasted several months. Unfortunately I ordered this item for an oval table for the first time and received an oval size for a 52"x76" table. It is frumpy looking. DON'T advertise for a size of 42"x68" (this smaller size is not even listed as an option on the actual product: it has 48"round, 60"round, & 52"x76"oval as the ONLY size choices on the actual packaging!) I still recommend this product because it is a great product when it actually fits the table (the round ones fit as they should). . . be aware though that this smaller oval size is NOT an option for this product.

By Emma the artist
I use these tablecloths for our table that is on our porch. When we lived in Iowa they worked great on our four season porch. However, since moving to Arizona, I found that the elastic in these tablecloths breaks down and loses the stretch pretty fast. I will still buy them because they're easy to use. I just wish they were made a bit better. I would happily pay more for one of these tablecloths if I didn't have to re order them over and over when they break down.

AFC Wimbledon's Jones is ready for his return to Newport County
3:00pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Football By Bruce Archer, Reporter
AFC Wimbledon's Darren Jones says he will have no problem maintaining professionalism when the Dons head to his former club Newport County tonight.
Jones signed for Wimbledon in the January transfer window after being released by League One side Shrewsbury Town and has already cemented his place in the team.
The 30-year-old defender is from Newport and played for County between 2004-2005.
He said: "I've got family there still and still go back quite often, but I play for Wimbledon, and I want three points and that's the end of it really – I just want to beat them.
"I am quite professional, I am thankful to the clubs I have played for, but I give 110 per cent for my current club and if that means sticking 10 on them then that's what I'll do – that's professional football."
Tuesday's fixture was originally scheduled for December 21 but was called off, and although sitting eighth in the league, Newport have not played since January 31 due to postponements meaning they have played at least two fewer matches than every other club in the league.
Wimbledon, having played four more matches than their opponents, could climb above Newport with a victory – the Welsh side are one point above the Dons who will be looking to improve on back-to-back defeats to Oxford United and Rochdale.
Jones thinks, even with their inconsistent form and packed fixture calendar, it will be the team who goes for it that comes out with the spoils.
He added: "I know they've done well in the league so far, but they haven't played for a long time, so that could be an advantage for us.
"They could come out rusty, but they've had a lot of rest and we've played a lot of games, so I think it's just the team that really wants it the most – the team that's going to work the hardest will get the result."

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- More and more people are struggling to put food on the table, which isn't what one might think in a community that produces billions of dollars worth of food every year.
The numbers don't add up and neither are people's pay checks in this economy. So families are turning to charity to get by.
Food produced in Eastern Washington feeds people around the world, but many here at home are going hungry at a surprising rate.
People are living in poverty in Pasco and Kennewick at higher levels than state and national averages. One in seven people in Benton and Franklin Counties are facing hunger.
But Benton County ranks third in the state for value of agricultural products. Franklin County is fourth.
Local food banks point to the higher poverty levels in rural communities as a reason for the issue.
"Services are fewer and farther between, industries are fewer and farther between to employ people and often tend to be the industries that close down the fastest in a recession much like we have seen over the past few years," said Melissa Cloninger, 2nd Harvest Food Bank.
Washington ranks 14th in the U.S. for hunger and 16th for value of agriculture products sold. Farming is big business here, but lots of locals aren't seeing the return.
"Some households have 2, 3, 4 jobs, but they are unable because they are lacking a living wage, unable to make all ends meet and are more typically the ones that we see now standing in line at food banks," Cloninger said.
Cloninger points out that food assistance is critical for the overall well-being of the community.
"Hunger deprives people of more than just food. Kids especially cannot learn on an empty stomach. Seniors and adults both fall behind and struggle," Cloninger said.
According to the USDA, Washington currently ranks first in the U.S. for production of nine crops, but the rate of hunger in our state is the highest it's ever been.

A Great Knife
By The 'Doctor' GEH
About Me Military/Law Enforcement
This is one great Machete. I would highly recommend this knife to anyone, especially for the outdoors person. I cannot find all the words to really express about this knife, for the price you cannot beat it. I purchased the biggest one the company sells, one is '18 inches and the other is '22 iches. It is well builted and it gets the job done. This knife when I first got it in the mail, I thought that it would turn out to be just a piece of cheap plastic handle and it would not stand up to the test.However I was so very wrong. It did in fact stand up to the test 100% plus. It is a knife that I would not leave home without it, if I had plans on a hunting or fishing trip. It also cleans up old bushs and limbs very well. It is just an all around great knife. You will not go wrong in buying this knife..I am going to buy another very soon.

---- — NORTH HUDSON — Unsafe structures are the subject of a new local law passed by the North Hudson Town Council.
The council approved the legislation unanimously then ordered three abandoned structures demolished, according to town minutes.
North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore said the law allows the Town Council by resolution to order repair or demolition and removal of buildings found to be dangerous and unsafe to the public.
He said hearings will be held for the owners or their representatives to appear and state their cases as to why the law should not be applied.
After a hearing, the Town Council can determine that the original order remains in full effect or it may amend or rescind the order.
The three vacant buildings found to be unfit for human occupancy and ordered repaired or demolished and removed are at 2997 U.S. Route 9, 5 Lazy St. and 380 Frontier Town Rd.
Costs associated with demolition would be placed on the property taxes for the parcels. The law also provides for fines of not less than $100 nor more than $250 for each violation, and for continued violations, $100 a day or imprisonment for no more than 15 days, or both.
The town code enforcement officer or health officer makes the determination, subject to Town Council oversight.
In other business, the council:
Vandalism: Reported vandalism at the Town Park and Beach to State Police. Fences, doors and latticework were damaged.
Courthouse lot: Ordered the parking lot blacktopped at the Town Courthouse on Route 9.
Code officer hours: Allowed the town code enforcement officer to change his hours to 8 a.m. to noon Thursdays at the Town Hall. He had held hours on Tuesdays.
