OK. Tut Tut. We have let this one slip! 'Photo of the Week' was intended to be a weekly feature. Our excuse… we are so busy being creative that it seems this feature may turn out to be a monthly feature! To make up for our slackness, we are pleased to showcase these three beautiful photos.
We had a black and white thing going on, and we love these atmospheric photos. They will make great art for any wall. This first one is taken by Lucan Netley in NewQuay (Photo ID1222). Click here to view this photo and buy it.
The second photo of the week is this great shot by Maddy Rogers. These children fishing in Norfolk. We love the fact that the kids seem unaware of the photo being taken – totally natural. Click here to view this photo and buy it.
Last but by no means least, we have Nicola Evans with this misty (PhotoID835). Click here to view this photo and buy it.

The surviving family members of a fire victim in Augusta County could see some relief in the form of a fundraiser this weekend.
A state fire investigator has not yet ruled on the cause of the fire that killed 11-year-old Dustyn Fitzgerald this past weekend.
He was trapped on the second floor during the blaze on Dooms Crossing Road. Firefighters say it started in his brother's bedroom on the main floor, and might have been touched off by an electric baseboard heater.
The nearby Blue Ridge Chapel of the Brethren on Eastside Highway is organizing a Saturday fundraiser, with proceeds going to the Fitzgerald family.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Lil Wayne & Drake's Ex-Wifey's Get FREAKY, Rihanna's Stuck To Chris Brown's Neck, Joe Budden's New Girlfriend's Steamy Sexy Pics
Tuesday, Sep 11, 2012 11:45AM
Thirsty Tuesday. You're going to need a gallon of water for today once we get it started with Drake and Lil Wayne's ex-girlfriend's getting it ON and POPPING together. Check please? Speaking of love in this club, Chris Brown's attempt for more attention is working with his new Rihanna neck tattoo. Ugghkay? Things smooth out with Joe Budden putting his newest girlfriend into the spotlight with some sex-y Instram shots. All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. It's Gettin' Hot In Herreee
It's 2012 and with the announcement of Frank Ocean revealing his bi-sexuality, the message and changing of the guard must have transcended its way into the heads of Drake and Lil Wayne's ex-girlfriends. If anyone can think back to Maliah Michel and Tammy Torres, then you know these ladies are certified hotties. Media Take Out has the explicit photos of these two which can't be shown in here:
September 11, 2012: We all knew that Lil Wayne and Drake were close . . . but their exes are even closer. Lil Wayne's LONGTIME LOVE Tammy Torres ("Had my heart broken by this woman named Tammy But h*es gon' be h*es, so I couldn't blame Tammy") and Drake's public GF Maliah ("Someone tell Maliah I'm on fire she should work tonight ") sent us some pics . . . of the two girls GETTING IT POPPIN!!! To see the VERY Graphic pics, click here. But be warned - it contains LEZZY activity. (Media Take Out)
HOT. HOT. FIRE! It's normally pretty level temperatures in here but after taking a look at those photos, you can only wonder what went down next. Think there's any chance Drake and Lil Wayne let these two hotties fly away? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Do You Still Think About Me?
Forget wondering when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going to tie the knot, it looks like we may have a better shot at Rihanna and Chris Brown announcing an engagement in the weeks or even days to come. What looked like an innocent kiss at last week's Video Music Awards is turning out to be much more. Peep TMZ's photos of CB's new Rihanna-looking neck tat:
Chris Brown insists his brand new neck tattoo is NOT a bizarre homage to Rihanna -- but if you look closely, the resemblance is uncanny. The last photo we've seen of Chris without the tat is dated August 30th and the above photo was taken on September 1st, so CB got the ink job at some point between those two dates ... nearly a week before Rihanna kissed him at the MTV VMAs. Sources really close to Chris tell us any similarities the tat has with Rihanna's face are purely coincidental -- "It's a random woman." (TMZ)
Depending on how you feel about this situation, they really do seem to be meant for each other. Now the same might not be able to be said about Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada, although they seem right for each other too, but you have to think CB and Rihanna are destined. Regardless, aren't these tattoos a bit much? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Another One
Has Joe Budden ever experienced the single life before? It seems that even back during his pre-fame days he had a beautiful girlfriend in Gloria Velez and then his long relationship with Tahiry prior to hooking up with Somaya Reece and Esther Baxter. Well if you thought all of those ladies were "bad" (in a good way), then feast your eyes on a few Bossip shots of Joe's newest GF:
oe Budden is the type of artist that shares almost every facet of his life with his fans. Fortunately for us, that includes a bevy of big-boobie hoes (Esther Baxter ), pool parties, and his girlfriends (Tahiry ). His latest love interest is a Florida native, 20-year old, Dancer and Zumba instructor that Joe affectionately refers to as "Young Ratchet Knowles" Kaylin Garcia. Suffice to say, Kaylin is extremely blessed, word to 2 Chainz . We'll save the mushy stuff about love and how cute these two are for another time, right now, just take a look at Joey's leading lady and allow the jealousy and envy to set in. (Bossip)
Needless to say, Budden's new girlfriend is STACKED. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning buzz on your favorite gossip blogs.

Windows 8 app developers should get an early look at the Windows 8.1 final code, Miller said, so they could test their apps against the update and start work on revisions -- and new apps -- that take advantage of 8.1's new features and functionality.
Microsoft hopes that Windows 8.1 sparks interest in the radically changed operating system. Users have shown little interest in Windows 8, which at the end of July accounted for about 6 percent of all copies of Windows used that month to go online, according to metrics firm Net Applications.
That compared poorly to Windows 7, which at the same point in its post-release timeline was powering 17.3 percent of all Windows systems.
Microsoft did not immediately reply to questions about Windows 8.1's availability on MSDN.

I am a quinoa fiend. Because I'm semi gluten-free (more on that in a post I'm working on) and I don't eat a lot of meat, quinoa has become a huge staple in my diet, both as a grain and as a protein. I eat it constantly and I'm constantly trying to think of more ways to eat it because I'm obsessed and it's so incredibly healthy. I've shared a few quinoa recipes here on Plums in the Icebox, like Quinoa-Stuffed Zucchini and Mexican Quinoa Salad, but I wanted to push myself outside of my quinoa comfort zone, as it were.
I decided to make a HUGE batch of quinoa and challenge myself to reconfigure it into at least 2 meals a day for 3 days. Here I am looking surprised at how damn much I actually made:
I frequently make a batch of quinoa on Sunday nights and use it throughout the week but usually not THIS MUCH. I used regular white quinoa which I bought in bulk from MOM's Organic Market. This is 5.5 cups worth of dried quinoa. Crazy, right? I cooked it only in water, although I usually use broth (FYI, quinoa has a 2:1 cooking ratio: 2 cups of water to each cup of dried quinoa. Bring water and quinoa to a boil, then turn down heat to a simmer and cover until liquid is absorbed). I'm planning on using this quinoa in a few recipes that aren't exactly savory, so I thought a water preparation would be simplest.
If you need a bit more information on quinoa, I got ya. Quinoa comes from South America and was a dietary staple of the Incans. It tastes and looks like a grain, but it's actually a relative of spinach! It's also a complete protein (meaning it contains all nine amino acids) and also has a bunch of other stuff that's good for your body, like fiber and magnesium. It has a really mild flavor and can be used as a substitute for rice, couscous, and more. Lance Armstrong's website will tell you more.
The first recipe is coming up in a few minutes. I am really excited, especially because I have a couple of really unusual recipes in store! I hope you'll follow along if you're a quinoa fiend like me, or if you're just interested in learning a few different ways to prepare this (nearly) perfect food.

A new company takes over food service for the Lubbock County Jail in less than a month, but the provider may surprise you. This story comes on the heels of former Potter County Sheriff, Mike Shumate's release from jail.
The FBI opened an investigation into Shumate's activities in January of 2006. In October of 2007, a Potter County grand jury indicted Shumate on corruption charges. This past June, he was convicted of accepting bribes from Mid-America Services. The company provided food for the Potter County Jail. On Wednesday, Shumate finished his 180-day jail sentence, and began eight years of supervised release.
Mid-America and its president, Robert Austin, pleaded guilty in September. The company was fined and Austin is currently serving probation. Now, NewsChannel 11 has discovered a connection between that company and Lubbock County's new food provider.
Since the investigation, Mid-America changed its name to Five-Star. Lubbock County Jail's new food service provider is Five-Star. Lubbock County contracted with Mid-America before the investigation, and stayed with them during the process. County leaders say they had no complaints, or any suspicion of wrong doing during that time. Still, they did an internal investigation, and say they found nothing, but, in September commissioners voted to cancel the contract.
They sent out proposals for a new provider, and received three bids back. Commissioner Bill McCay tells NewsChannel 11 that Five-Star had the best quality and was the least expensive. On November 24th, commissioners awarded the new contract.
McCay says despite the company's past it has new leadership, and the county is confident they will provide quality service. "The leadership has changed; Bob Austin is no longer involved in the company. Most importantly for the tax payers is that is a great price. Anytime we can save money on a contract of this size is fantastic," McCay said.
He says the contract is for the current jail, and the new jail. It begins on January 1, 2009.

Bodog has released their second half NFL odds, highlighted by a teams odds to win the Super Bowl, AFC/NFC Conference Championship, as well as their respective division. Not surprisingly, the Bengals are moving on up. In the pre-season the Bengals odds of winning the Super Bowl were 150/1. They currently sit at 40/1 odds. For comparison's sake, the Ravens sit at 9/1 odds, Steelers at 12/1 odds and finally the Browns at 750/1 odds.
Looking at the odds to win the 2012 AFC Championship games, Bodog has the Bengals sitting at 14/1 odds making them the seventh most likely team in the AFC to represent the conference in the Super Bowl. The Ravens come in second behind the New England Patriots with 7/2 odds of making it to the Super Bowl. The Steelers are right behind them in third place with 5/1 odds. Unfortunately for Browns fans, their team is looking at 250/1 odds.
The AFC North division has come down to a three team race. The Ravens, courtesy of their season sweep of the Steelers, are sitting at 5/7 odds of winning the division. The Steelers have 2/1 odds of winning the AFC North. The Bengals are looking at 4/1 odds of winning the division. Finally, the Browns come in at 250/1 odds of coming out on top.
What do you think Bengals fans? Is Bodog right on or are they undervaluing the Bengals potential to succeed this season?

Lärabar, the Gateway Food
Much like their are gateway drugs, gateway foods are foods that are mainstream and safe enough to bring the message of raw-foods to the masses. LäraBar, from Humm Foods, is a perfect example of a "raw gateway food". It is cheap (because it isn't organic), simple and widely available, (Whole Foods has taken them national).
Taste: Compared to other raw-junk-food, LäraBars are so, so. Because they can get a little chalky and dry, they make you thirsty. The use of nuts is also heavy, so don't plan on eating more than one at a time.
If you haven't tried a Lärabar, we'd recommend Apple Pie and Banana Cookie. If you have tried a Lärabar and are ready for something else, we recomend Goji Bar.

LINCOLN, NE (WKOW) -- The governor of Nebraska has put his seal of approval on a plan to run a pipeline across the state.
The 1,700-mile keystone XL pipeline would run from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Because it crosses an international border, the White House says the State Department has the reins.
"As you know the State Department is conducting it's assessment as appropriate and as has been standard over the years on behalf of the Federal government," White House PRess Secretary Jay Carney said. "I don't wanna get ahead of that process. You know when the State Department has something to move forward on that issue, we'll obviously address that issue it when it does."
Environmental groups oppose the pipeline, arguing it puts an environmentally sensitive region at risk. They also say Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman, who is a Republican, has done a huge political flip-flop by putting support behind a project he once opposed.
In a letter the White House and the State Department, Heineman said it avoids the environmentally-sensitive Sandhills region of the state. He also says the Keystone pipeline would generate more than $400 million for the state.
"The Nebraska re-route by Governor Heineman moves us one step closer to Americans receiving the benefits of Keystone XL; the enhanced energy security it will provide and the thousands of jobs it will create," Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and CEO officer, said in a statement.

Mark Levin Threatens to Sue Anyone Tying Him to Tucson Shooting
For going on six days, dishonest media members have blamed prominent conservatives for inciting last Saturday's tragedy in Tucson.
On Wednesday, radio host and attorney Mark Levin threatened to sue anyone - including MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Joe Scarborough - that tried to tie him to that event (YouTube audio follows with transcript and commentary):
MARK LEVIN: Now I'm going to tell you something. Maybe I shouldn't, but I will. I'm waiting for an allegation that is very specific against me because I'm going to sue. I don't care if they're bloggers, I don't care if they're television hosts, I don't care if they're radio hosts. I'm going to drag your ass into federal court. Oh, you'll have due process. It'll all be nice and legal. I'm going to personally depose you. I'm going to drag you in front of a jury, and I'm going to get your assets.
Somebody has to stand up to this. Somebody has to draw the line. Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough – test me. Test me. David Frum, you little weasel, test me. All of you.
I believe in the law. I believe in free speech. I believe in responsible speech. Now, you want people to tone it down? Okay, good. Anybody who accuses me of inciting mass murder in Tucscon, Arizona, is going to be sued. Period. I don't mean, "Oh his rhetoric is incendiary." I don't. Anybody who tries to tie me to that monstrous event.
I'm going to tell you why. When you get behind this microphone every day, and you speak from the heart, and millions of people are listening, and family and friends, they're listening, too. They're affected by all these things. Now I'm a public figure. I'm a big boy. I can handle this. The question is whether these other boys can handle it. You think I'm kidding? Try me, because I'm not kidding. The laws of libel are actually older than the first amendment.
According to the American Spectator, Levin moments before this issued a challenge to Matthews:
"I challenge Chris Matthews, I'll put $100,000 on the table, to find any example where Sarah Palin has promoted the murder of anybody," said Levin -- specifically excluding terrorists and the Taliban.
Levin went on: "A hundred thousand on the table if Chris Matthews can find anywhere Mark Levin has urged the murder of people who have different political viewpoints. That's the murder of politicians …where I said go out there and kill X,Y,Z…go out there and kill A,B,C. I challenge him right now. Sarah Palin. Me. Go ahead."
Levin, as usual, was 100 percent right.
What we've witnessed in the past six days has been a national disgrace.
Within minutes of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) getting shot, media members began accusing conservative politicians and pundits of inciting the shooter. This was before anyone knew anything about him.
We have since learned that whatever politics Jared Lee Loughner had, they were certainly not right-wing, and that he apparently didn't watch television or listen to talk radio.
But this didn't stop the folks responsible for disseminating the news via the airwaves, cable and print to continually and dishonestly misrepresent to their viewers, listeners, and readers that folks like Palin, Levin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and members of the Tea Party all had a hand in this incident.
This nonsense has to stop, for what these shameful accusers in the media don't understand is that it's they that are exacerbating the heated rhetoric and ideological divisions in this nation.
Every time they jump to malevolent conclusions and disseminate their evil assumptions, their viewers, listeners, and readers feel greater antipathy and hatred for fellow Americans.
Ed Schultz less than 72 hours before Giffords was shot told his viewers, "This is an ideological war. I say it on camera tonight here on MSNBC - I will fight these [Republican] bastards every night at 6 o'clock."
In reality, Schultz was speaking for almost all liberal media members who deep in their hearts agree that this is their charge as so-called journalists: to fight Republican "bastards" while advancing the agenda of the Democrat Party.
Part of this battle includes demonizing conservatives and whenever possible depicting them as being responsible for all that ails the country.
Within minutes of an act of extreme violence being committed in this country, these folks immediately begin telling their viewers, listeners, and readers the assailant must have been impacted by the words and statements of prominent right-wing figures.
If these people now calling for civility actually want the rhetoric to be toned down, they should begin doing so in their own TV studios, radio booths, and pressrooms.
Failing that, they should stop pointing their hypocritical fingers at anyone else or be sued for libel.
Bravo, Mark. Bravo!

liberals are angry at Palin's campaign methods last summer: she helped deliver the biggest Republican victory in 50 years. As far I am concerned liberals started up the climate of hate by calling conservatives; racist, unhinged, extreme. They didn't think conservative leaders would punch back hard enough to overcome the smears. THAT'S why the political climate was so tense.

He's right (as usual). It's time to stand up against the unscrupulous media and make them accountable. Those media outlets are not even hiding their advocacy anymore. It's a full on battle of the airwaves.
It seems they have decided this is their battle to the death. If the Conservatives are as successful in the next two years as the last year then the remaining control of the Liberals in congress and the Whitehouse will be gone. So they have drawn a line in the sand. For them, it's a battle for survival.

I never could understand why Boortz, a sharp and intelligent man, would undercut his opinions by frequently being such a mean-spirited SOB. He could maintain his "Church of the Painful Truth" image and still tone down his sheer personal nastiness. Also, even though I am a non-practicing Catholic, I believe in the concept of karma (or the less exotic concept of "what goes around, comes around") and I can't undertand how a guy who can be so verbally cruel to people could achieve the success he has had. That said, I occasionally listen to his show until he starts getting nasty.

It just might be that his claim of having a "personality disorder' is for real.
I'm not educated enough in that area (psychology) to know for sure, but like all talk radio show hosts, I try to separate the good from the bad, as I never, EVER agree with them all the time.
They all make good points, but not all of the time.
That is why I get most of my news from the net, so I can bounce stories off each other.
After a while, it's pretty easy to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

I didn't know he had claimed to have a personality disorder. That's sort of - er - weird. I guess if an attorney has to have a personality disorder, compulsive nastiness would be the least harmful to his career. :)
Anyway, I don't make it a habit to listen to any of the radio talk shows. Mainly, it's because I'm either at work or when I listen to them in my truck, it's only a short drive and I mostly hear what seems to be the ninety percent of their shows that consist of commercials for General Steel, Life Lock, or Vermont Teddy Bears
That said, I like Rush and Laura Ingraham. The rest, I can either take or leave.

by the MSM and especially the lunatics at MSPMS, is that civil (or uncivil) political discourse has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Tucson tragedy. They just make themselves look even more out of touch with reality, which helps send their ratings even further down the crapper. They might as well blame Loughner's criminal actions on global warming. Wait, maybe I shouldn't give them any new ideas. Maybe they'll re-visit the Va Tech shootings and blame talk radio and Palin for that as well.

Chicago style journalism at its best
Submitted by Kenyon Schraeder on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 11:47am.
MSNBC is simply living up to the Chicago style reputation for thuggery, er, "doing business". They have no journalistic standing and so they have happily relegated themselves to being nothing more than a junkyard dog for the left. Ergo, MSNBC exists solely to do the left's "on air" dirty work.
They know that the White House has their back in all of this and so they're entirely comfortable with launching unfounded, shamelessly vitriolic attacks upon the right, stopping at nothing, any shred of decency or integrity be darned. Remember that they fear nothing from the FCC because "it's in the bag". However, if Mark Levin is very sure as a lawyer that he can actually prove his case in a court of law, I suspect that the volume at MSNBC will go down and the anti-right fire will be reduced to a pilot light for the duration, but only because the Whire House has instructed them to do so.
I hope that Mark Levin can put the fear of the stockholders into the executives at MSNBC. Money still talks and lawsuits can be extremely expensive and damaging.

I am also fed with Krauthammer's as well as the so called Fox All Stars gushing praise of Obama's speech wednesday night. It was very disappointing to hear these people heap praise upon a guy who has violated his own demands for civil discourse. Obama is the one who suggested people bring a gun. He also threatened Sean Hannity by saying his friend/aide would tear Sean Hannity up. Obama is a hypocritical fraud who cares only about his own agenda and not getting the country back to work.

Submitted by Dave. on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 9:54pm.
I wasn't aiming my responses at Levin so much as at some of the posters on this thread.
Levin is an attorney, and a pretty sharp one at that, and knows full well what he will be in for should he persue litigation against anyone attempting to accuse him of being responsible for what happened last Saturday.
My only point is that cases such as these are very difficult to win, because public figures leave information trails, and those trails can be very long - depending on the length of time they have spent in the public eye, as well as what they were writing or saying long before they even became public figures.
Many of those things can be distorted by even moderately skilled trial lawyers, and effectively used against the other party.
Some seem to think it's just a matter of deciding to just "sue the bastards" and all will be right with the world.
Believe me, I understand the thought processes behind that, and in many areas I even agree, but there are the cold, hard realities of our legal system that many do not seem to be cognizant of.
It's not the judge that matters, but what the attorneys can convince the jury of.
And often times it doesn't matter what the laws actually say.
I've seen it happen too many times.

In response to this and your previous post, you're right. The discovery stage can be incredibly onerous, and be used to literally wear down an opponent mentally,, emotionally and financially [although legal fees shouldn't be a problem for Levin]. And the standards of proof regarding defamation would make it very difficult for Levin to succeed in this country. Elsewhere he might have a pretty good shot at it. But not here. At least that's my opinion.

Your characterization of my opinion is correct.

Maybe if it got to a jury, Levin might get a verdict, but I think it would be reversed on appeal under current libel law.

Again, that is something we would have to witness as it unfolds (IF it ever happens). As with economists, legal analysts can't agree on much of anything so prevailing legal opinions are all over the place. In many instances, flipping a coin would have a better chance of predicting legal outcomes IMHO.
As I mentioned elsewhere and also touched upon earlier in this post, thus far all we have is Levin's words. As far as I can determine, there haven't been anything actually done to begin filing such a lawsuit. Of course filing a suit is easy after all in this day and age one can easily file a lawsuit against a ham sandwich but beyond that anything could happen given the right judges and possible jury.
On a related note, I am certain that word of this promise by Levin has been presented to those Levin mentioned. I wonder if any of them will take this and use it to attack Levin even more daring him either explicitly or implicitly to sue. Of those on the list I think Schultz and Olbermann would be the two top candidates to do so.

This is about a calculated strategy to discredit conservatism as a philosophy. These people, Schultz, Olberman, Krugman, et al, all KNOW what they spew is BS. They count on those who rely on spoon-fed information (the Democrat base) to buy into their diatribes. They have no legitimate counter-argument and they know it.
They have been caught, on numerous occasions, discussing and planning amongst themselves, how they were going to report or present issues involving conservatives to spotlight them in the worst possible way. Even if they had to lie to spin it to their benefit. This is nothing new. The major difference is that conservatives are FINALLY punching back. There is no "high road" to take when dealing with such hypocritical, lying, morally bankrupt hacks. Another difference is that, as has recently been their wont, they go too far. And people are starting to catch on. This really began during the 2000 presidential election, when their shoe-in (Gore) lost. Then they sucessfully took it to the extreme during the 2006 midterms. The culmination was the 2008 election of Obama and the super-majorities in congress. They seem to have figured that after such successes, they could get away with virtually anything. They haven't yet figured out their losses during the last election. All they know is that their tried and true methods failed. Their childish reaction - vitriolic anger. Hence the current climate of hyper-partisanship. This will continue until they are held accountable by such actions as Mr. Levin is threatening, and by being subjected to the pain of judgements against them and loss of public prominence.

Leftists are shaping the discourse mostly using their propaganda arm the media but it is not too late for Republican leaders to stop being meek -- listening up Boehner? -- and moving on the promises to Americans they made to get themselves elected in the massive tidal wave of Nov. 2.
Sure the left wants those of us who view them as truly -- although often unintentionally -- wrong about America it's past and we hope its future to stop and change our projected path. Most of us cannot in good faith do that anymore. We have to be able to dissent. We have to be able to petition our government. We have to be able to join with others who want this country to survive and who do not see it as all bad all the time. The left wants to prevent all those things and to force us back into silence. I have met many folks over the past 2+ years who have never before spoken out and who for the most part trusted that things would improve whoever was pulling the levers of power in DC. Not anymore. Having been called losers, homophobes, stupid, racists, bigots, cowards, etc by the left for having the temerity to defend America as a pretty damn good country and to dissagree with a president's policies even as they have been called names -- some for the first time in their lives -- this group overwhelmingly stayed the course and made it to the polls in November to vote against the left and against the policies of the left including those of Obama.
Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader McConnell do not let us down. Do not pull any of your punches with the left. We got you back one part of Congress -- the people's part -- with a very simple message -- STOP SPENDING. If you truly do not believe you can do that or you have been convinced that leftists "care" too and you don't want to hurt a colleague's feelings -- step out of the way.
The left is very adept at strategy. The left has a deep bench and they have a large segment of the media assisting them. But you have a huge number of voters behind you too and you folks in DC have to start working. You are not in DC to make new friends or to try to work with leftists -- you are there to stop spending and to derail this totally berserk administration. You should probably send your families back home and sleep in your offices. You should dedicate yourselves for the next 24 months -- and the clock is ticking -- to the overwhelming task before you. If you don't think you have the fortitude to do that then you should resign. Pure and simple but from my heart because these are not normal times any longer. Fight or get out of the way because America is at stake. My future is at stake. My grandchildren's future is at stake. Get busy and God Bless -- you have my support in this and the support of millions of Americans.

Perhaps Mr. Sheppard is just being kind and giving the leftie talkers the benefit of the doubt, but I truly believe they understand fully what they are doing and know that their hateful rhetoric exacerbates the situation. In their mind, however, I think they see it as a necessary evil for the good of their cause. They want their listeners angry at conservatives. They are itching for disobedience, for the poor to rise up and revolt against the evil rich and those who stand in the way of socialism. What they don't understand is that compared to most other countries, the poor have it good in America. They have a welfare program, food stamps, housing, etc., that provides them with money for flat screened tvs, cell phones, video games and all the cheetos they can eat. It's not conservatives standing in the way of the leftist revolution, it's the welfare system that lulls the poor into complacity.

What we need is an attorney general, backed by an administration that will file the criminal complaints when they do crap like that.
In the 50's, when TV was in its infancy, the 'news' was presented as a "Public Service" as well as a condition of their broadcast license.
When the 'news' divisions were allowed to sell advertising and became a profit generating aspect of the business, then political discord and civil unrest became HIGHLY profitable.
Their licenses should be rolled back to providing the 'news' as a public service and let them present opinion shows under the banner of 'political opinion' and let the advertisers choose whether or not they support the views of the hosts.

Levin is playing into their hands
Submitted by Ashrak on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 2:22pm.
This track is a mistake. It opens him up to be deemed "against free speech" and undermines his Constitutional premise. The answer to dishonest speech is more speech standing up to it, not the forced reduction of the speech in question or government ordered or sanctioned punishment for it.
The left is the body politic that uses courts to accomplish their goals and the Liberty movement has to be above that underhanded method -or it will fail. We cannot lose our way.
The risk of becoming that which you oppose increases exponentially when you dabble in the use of tools employed by those on the "other side". Now, it is fair to say that sometimes one must fight fire with fire, but there it is exactly. Fight speech with speech, not restriction of it!
Notice how Mark had to come with a qualifer in "except the Terrorists and the Taliban"? He has already lost before he even began when he has to go there. First things first, killing terrorists and barbarians in self-defense is NEVER "murder". Yet, Mark, I am sure in a moment of emotion controlling his mouth, unwittingly and unwillingly conceded a point he shouldn't have and wouldn't have ordinarily. So why did he? Emotion. That is why. And there it is, he became that which he opposed. He used a tool of the opposition and it backfired.
Rethink it Mark. Seriously. Point their own words right back at them. Repeat them, and their actions, over and over and over and do it for all to see relentlessly. This is the way to victory.
Resisit the temptation to stoop to their level. For that is exactly what they want. That is where they find their rationalization and attempt their justification. We are better than that and we will win this war by fighting each battle at a time and place of our choosing. We will not falter and we will not fail unless we forget who we are and stray from the values that makes us who we are. One by one, my friend, one by one. ( W had wise words sometimes, no doubt.)
Hold them accountable, indeed, but do it in the court of public opinion. Resolve will carry us all through so long as we embrace the sword and the shield that is Truth and Honesty. These tools no court of law can ever provide for us, it is only via the relentless weilding of these reightous tools, which exist within us already as a result of our humanity and the free will to use them or not, that this fight ends in our favor.
Please Mark. Remember who you are. Stand tall on YOUR merit, not on their lack of it! Believe it is there. Know it is there. Share it. Remember, time is on our side because history moves forward regardless and the lies will always be exposed and so too will those who tell them. Think it through, Mark. Think It Through.

Standing on principle alone and turning the other cheek work only up to a point. To use a football analogy, it's playing not to lose against an aggressive opponent who is playing to win. Republicans and conservatives have been playing not to lose for so long that they haven't noticed the other team running up the score, and have forgotten how to play the political game aggressively. That entails using every legal means at your disposal to defeat your enemy. And make no mistake, that's exactly what liberals in positions of power are. (And certainly how they see us.)
Wars are won by drumming the enemy into submission and eliminating their will and capability to continue fighting. That is, until liberals introduced useless U.N. diplomacy, "conflict resolution", and strongly worded multilateral resolutions that are worthless. And worse, managed to convince conservatives that theirs is the proper, desirable course of action. Is it a coincidence that the Democrats all suddenly want an end to vicious partisanship and vitriol at precisely the same time that they are weakest? Remember all those pleas by Obama, Pelosi and the Dems to compromise with Republicans for the good of the country? Me neither.
When your opponent's on the ropes, you don't hang back and hope the judges give you the win on points. You go for the knockout blow.

Hasnt thought this through. He didnt just spout this in a moment of high blood pressure. In-fact he tells you as much, if you listen. Also the "qualifier" is concerning the 100k reward, not the suit. And one more thing, you do not have "free speech rights" to make any old accusation you want about anyone you want. Now I know Jer and the media will try to make you beleive it so, it's not!

Submitted by Ashrak on Sun, 01/16/2011 - 1:59am.
Nobody can stop another from speaking. Just like nobody can stop another from defending themselves. Nobody can stop another from having their faith or writing a peace. Sure, make it "illegal" and "punish" someone for it, but stopping it from being done is only accomplished at the individual level by means of Individual free will.
You can say this, but you can't say that. Pretty soon, you can;t say this or that. but you can say the other. Not long after, this, that and the other are all illegal and punishable and then it is wondered how a right to speak freely can be so restricted and regulated. This is a slope even the most experienced skier is best to avoid.
Exposing the lies being told is the important aspect here. A judge is to determine what can be said and what cannot? So, a judiciary is empowered where a legislture is specifically barred?
I regard the use of the court system to make a political point as be something the left likes to do. Could Mark make endroads here? Maybe. He could possibly say "I won". But then, Obama did that too, didn't he? What does it serve? What good does it do?

Submitted by Ashrak on Sun, 01/16/2011 - 1:46am.
That he could be deemed as such, doesn't mean he actually is that way. As I used "deemed", please think about Nancy Pelosi. Deem it so -and it is so. Deem and Pass. Do you catch it now?
What is the most basic premise of this thread? Lies, right? False pretense and false premise, right?
You misunderstand what I said, and meant, and make it seem as if I said something I did not. Perception is what it is all about with these folks. As already demonstrated, they couldn't care less what the facts actually are, they just make their predetermined claims over and over again. And then again. And then still.
Mark sets himself up for more of the same going forward with this line of engagement. It is like offering ammunition.
Look to Sarah Palin to see the same thing. She wasn't saying anything and the storyline was made all about her and blamed on her. As soon as she spoke up, the story was about what she said and that she did. Heck, she even injected herself, some said. They couldn't say she was trying to stifle anyone, could they? See how it works? Her decision, to speak back, made them jump the shark yet again. Therein is where real success is found.
Mark will be painted as trying to stifle free speech and it will be said he is a hypocrite. He has this microphone and he uses it and the evil profits he makes to try and stifle the speech of others. Again, this is not what I think, this is how he will be frozen, deeeeeeemed and presented. Think Saul.
The way to beat these folks is to play their own game better than they do. And the most powerful are undeniably victorious when they are able to leave the most devestating weapon in reserve (not unlike the way we fight military war without nuclear weapon use) and still stand tall, with resolve, to do battle. The court of public opinion is where this war of words has to play out. That is where a victory bears actual fruit. Sorry if you disagree, but it is your right to do so and I respect that.
Let's say Mark won. A huge award comes to pass and Mark donates every penny to a worthy charity. He even kicks in some more himself to top it off. Guess what. These media lefties aren't going to report its happening. It will be buried and ignored while they got the propaganda material they wanted in the first place. Why let them take the trick? Denying it to them is the way to bump them. Sarah drives them crazy doing this again and again. Mark should too, imho.
As an aside - Survival of Liberty isnt protected by limiting it, it is protected by relentless free exercise. I offer that Mark would do best to further the discussion in a different way than proposed here. Name the names and quote the quotes. Again and again, over and over, lIke is done here at NewsBusters! The more the lefties talk, the further over the line of truth they go and the worse it gets for them in the long run. This is something to encourage - as it hastens their implosion.
Do you think that is playing into their hands?

Submitted by Dave. on Fri, 01/14/2011 - 10:18pm.
And quite frankly, I am not a little disgusted with some of the posts I have read - not just on this thread, but many others.
I don't have the time to comb the threads here that I once did, as I am dealing with a host of family issues that are occupying a great deal of my time, and are not a little distracting, nor are they not a little sad.
Jer has been here for over three years, and the fact that he has the stones to come in here day after day and weather some of the BS thrown his way is one of the reasons many of us here - and particularly us old timers at NB, have built up a fair amount of respect for him.
The man has more courage than most all repubs I know, and even some conservatives.
Jer happens to be among those here I consider to be on my top tier friend list. It doesn't mean we always agree on things, but I respect the man's intelligence, along with his tenacity, and they way he is treated by some here makes me ill.
I know Jer to be a truly decent human being - far more so than me, if you really want to know the truth, and I consider him to be an asset to this site.
I think it's great to have a contrarian around who puts up some very interesting ponts. Besides, this place would be boring as Hell if everybody agreed with everybody else.
If I wanted that, I'd go get a lobotomy and join the Dreary Kos turds.

You're the only attorney I've talked to on here, so I guess I'll ask this question to you.
What are the rules of evidence in this sort of lawsuit?
I know that a public figure must prove willful intent to speak or write untruthful information, malice and damages, but could this be a ploy to get to the discovery stage?
Inter-office memos, emails and the like, would they fall under the evidenciary procedure?
If so, could Mr. Levin be threatening a lawsuit becuse of this possibility?
I mean, the guy probably has the money and spare time to throw around in order to bring to light the response to the Tucson shooting and how it could or should be used for a political gain. Libel/slander is almost an unwinnable lawsuit for any public figure, so there has to be a reason why he's suggesting this course of action. Basically, I'm asking if it's a possibility that he's happy to spend a few thousand, or hundred-thousand dollars to incriminate news directors, editors or producers that knowingly advanced a flawed theory for political reasons.
My knowlege of libel/slander is limmited to a course I took in journalism school, so I'm hardly an expert, so I'm asking your opinion.
- Login to post comments
Submitted by Jer on Sun, 01/16/2011 - 12:04am.
Well, I'm not really an expert either, Michael. I did file one significant business defamation action years ago that made third page headlines in the AJC (probably because the defendant was the Better Business Bureau.). However, while not a frivolous claim, it was by no means a strong case and we voluntarily dismissed it prior to trial.
Additionally, a few hours of libel and slander case study was part of the first year curriculum when I was in law school, and the landmark NYT v. Sullivan Supreme Court decision was just a few years old at the time. As such, it was--and I'm sure still is--the focal point of much of the legal analysis in the defamation field.
A close reading of the blogged article indicates to me that Mark has a pretty good handle on the proof requirements and evidentiary parameters which he would face. He clearly is speaking about not what has already occurred, but rather a hypothetical set of circumstances where he is directly and explicitly charged with being responsible for the Tuscon tragedy. In the latter instance, his chances of recovery would be considerably better than if he were merely mentioned, perhaps along with others, as having engaged in incendiary rhetoric which created a dangerous climate and risk of violence. That would create a near impossible hurdle to leap, since it's essentially the expression of opinion about a public figure (which status Levin indisputably occupies). Statements of opinion as opposed to false allegations of fact are generally protected, and, moreover, public figures must show--as you correctly noted--that the utterances are not only untrue but the product of actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth. It saddles the public figure/plaintiff with an extraordinarily heavy evidentiary burden.
Wide latitude is given in the discovery process, and absent patently irrelevant material being sought as part of a fishing expedition, the items you mentioned should be produced. The party who is the subject of discovery can file a motion to limit the scope, however. Of course, just because material may be subject to discovery doesn't guarantee it will be allowed into evidence at trial.
Summing up, I don't think Matthews has said anything thus far which is actionable. But if he were stupid enough to make unequivocal, reckless, and false charges specifically targeting and naming Levin, then he better be on the lookout for the process server.

Thank you for that, I'm not really fluent on legal matters in the media when it comes to opinion journalists versus "normal" journalists.
Even in school there seemed to be a lot of it that was theory as opposed to practical advice or instruction. Needless to say, half-way through the semester I was looking like one of those guys from the movie Scanners.
I was just wondering if Mr. Levin was doing this for the opportunity to go through the discovery phase of the lawsuit, but that seemed far fetched to me, but it was still a thought I had.
Either way, thanks for your response.

This is why I regard courts as I do. Whichever variety it is that has been created, some rules apply sometimes, in some ways, and other times they don't. To some people they do, to others they don't. I believe the judiciary to be the most corrupt branch of government.

From Christmas trees and ornaments, to tinsel and plants, holiday decorations can be beautiful, but they can also be dangerous for our pets.
That's why Amarillo Animal Control and Amarillo Panhandle Humane Society are encouraging all pet owners to pet-proof their home this holiday season. That includes keeping your pets away from your Christmas tree. Be careful of ornaments, especially glass ones which would be harmful if ingested, as well as electrical cords or tinsel. Make sure to keep plants like poinsettias, holly or mistletoe out of reach of pets. If ingested your pet could suffer from diarrhea or vomiting, and could even die if they eat too much. Never give your furry friends any holiday food like chocolate or other goodies.
All holiday hazards that could be avoided if pet owners simply keep one eye on their animals at all times.
"You just have to watch them really carefully," said Executive Director of the Amarillo Panhandle Humane Society, Jena McFall. "I mean, you just have to be cognizant of what they're doing and where they are at all times which is very hard because they're squirmy and they're puppies and they run around. Just make sure they're supervised at all times."
Something the humane society also wants to advise against this holiday season is giving a pet as a gift, especially if the recipient isn't expecting it. McFall says right after they New Year is when the humane society receives many returned puppies because often times, people who got them as gifts weren't ready for a pet, didn't expect it, or it's not the one they wanted. She advises letting people pick out their own pets.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two Buffalo Sabres are wearing purple in Thursday night's game to raise awareness about domestic violence.
Cody Hodgson and Patrick Kaleta will be wearing purple domestic violence bracelets when the team takes on the Montreal Canadiens. They're in honor of Jacqueline Wisniewski, a receptionist at ECMC, who was shot and killed by her former boyfriend, Dr. Timothy Jorden, last June at the hospital.
Both players say they're honored to do something to help bring awareness to the issue.
"Anytime you can help a cause like domestic violence and you try to do that in a community like this. We're all so close," said Hodgson.
"It's an honor for me to wear it and be beneficial in helping in awareness," Kaleta said.
Hodgson and Kaleta both say supporting causes like domestic violence awareness is very important to them.

The Belvedere
$10+; various times
This year, Abbey Road on the River, one of the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festivals, will present … Jefferson Starship? Yes, that's the band that apparently built this city on rock 'n' roll back in the '80s, under the name Starship. The reformed Jefferson Starship — featuring founding Jefferson Airplane member Paul Kantner and someone named Cathy Richardson filling in for the retired Grace Slick — will perform a show Saturday that features a blend of Beatles songs and its own hits, such as "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love." Interesting. But as usual, there will be a ton of Beatles tribute acts from all over the world playing hit after hit, film screenings, Beatles karaoke, food, drink, merchandise and lots of family-oriented fun. It all happens Memorial Day weekend at the Belvedere. Don't forget to wear your Jefferson Starship boots. —Kevin Gibson

International Trade Department, the Transport Unit, PREM and SDN Networks
cordially invite you to a launch of a New Report and website, featuring a panel discussion of the report: Connecting to Compete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy
With the advent of global supply chains, a new premium is being placed on the ability to move goods rapidly and reliably. Countries able to connect to the global logistics web have access to vast new markets; while those whose links are weak face the large and growing costs of exclusion.
The Logistics Performance Index (LPI), with its indicators, is the first comprehensive benchmarking tool that measures a country's logistics performance along its supply chain. Based on a worldwide survey of global freight forwarders and express carriers, this first report details logistics performance in 150 countries.
The study shows that trade logistics, or the capacity to connect to international markets to ship goods, is critical for developing countries to improve their competitiveness, reap the benefits of globalization, and fight poverty more effectively in an increasingly integrated world. It identifies the factors and policies that explain the wide differences in logistics performance among countries at similar levels of development and aims to help countries identify challenges and opportunities to improve their logistics performance.

SOURCE One face is for Islam's useful idiots the other is for Islam's faithful. The Koran is not arranged in chronological order. When it is arranged in chronological order it is clear that the Koran undergoes a serious transition after Muhammad's first real triumph on the battlefield at Badr in 624. The period following that… Continue Reading
Introductory Notes It is our sincere belief that after reading Part 1 of this article, unclean Kafers will rethink about mocking Muslims on the subject of homosexuality in Islam. Indeed, no further discussion is needed when Allah (swt) Himself will supply pearl-like prepubescent boys in abundance for us in His Paradise. The Kafers need not… Continue Reading
I have great difficulty with the misuse of the word "Holocaust", particularly when it is used for effect (as do haters of Jews to describe Israel's attempts to neutralise the dangers to its people from Hamas in Gaza), since it minimizes the tragedy of the holocaust of the Jews and others under Nazism, and other… Continue Reading
Written by Angelo Codevilla The Islamic State's video-dissemination of one of its goons beheading an American is an existential challenge from which we cannot afford to shrink. Until the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS) did that, it made sense for the U.S. government to help contain it because the Islamic world, which the IS threatens most directly,… Continue Reading
The Sunni Jihadist 'Islamic State' or Dawla Islamiya is the manifestation of what Sunni Islamists have been striving for for a long time, especially groups like Hizb-ut-tahrir and many other hardline Islamist groups. After 9/11 as I started to research into Islamic teachings I started visiting a liberal ex-Muslim website called secular Islam. There in… Continue Reading
THE FIRST MUSLIM TO BE SELF RADICALIZED THE "SELF RADICALIZATION" OF ALLAH THE "SELF RADICALIZED" MEDINA QURAN The story of Muhammad is the story of a boy born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in 570 AD and who, following the death of both parents, was raised by Abu Talib – his uncle. Muhammad grew up to… Continue Reading
It has been 13 years since 9/11 and the West is still reluctant to link the non-ending parade of jihad groups with Islam. The West is also in denial about the similarities all radical Islamic groups share. It is important for the West to realize that there is a natural division of labor between the… Continue Reading
Introduction I was reading an article written by Islamic critic Mu'min Salih about how the Arabs did not think highly of the language of the Qur'an, while, at the same time, we see Muslims who do not know Arabic praise the "high level" language of the Qur'an! At the end of the article, Salih provided… Continue Reading
Warning: Links in this article contain gory images of Islamic barbarity SOURCE By James Lewis The Vietnam War was won by American forces in the field, together with South Vietnamese, but it was lost in the media. Even forty years ago the media were largely penetrated by the hard left, which has its real sympathies… Continue Reading
Do our peace-loving Muslim brothers know that they are already contributing to Islamic Jihad? Whether or not they knew it, apologists of Islam and various Islamic websites state so. Controlling temper, assisting others, struggling with their own soul, and struggling to quit smoking also come under 'JIHAD'. These Islamic apologists and websites have been striving… Continue Reading
Introduction Curious readers of the Quran, Sunna and Sira know the extent of Muhammad's terrorizing and horrific actions recorded by devout Muslim scholars themselves. Many such incidents were carried out by Muhammad himself; countless others on the behest of his orders. Many inhuman acts of Muhammad would fill readers with shame and sadness and make… Continue Reading

Just buzzed around the NFL.com shop and noticed that the uniforms they're selling don't have the ugly "polo shirt" collar on them. Have a look for yourself:
It's got the same collar as the old jersey, only it's half-orange and half-blue now. Compare that to the pleated, polo look that the league unveiled:
It looks to me like they're wearing last year's garb at mini-camp, so is this a sign of something to come? Please say yes, I don't want my football team wearing polo shirts!
