I paid the fifth lowest tax burden in the world but all I got was this lousy infrastructure.
Despite so many in the US believing that Canada is a "socialist" haven of high taxes (repeatedly reported by the RW in the US), it turns out that major Canadian cities have a lower tax burden than US major cities.
The article in The Toronto Standard:
is a little slim on details, but it does link to the original study in .pdf format, as well as the Forbes article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2012/09/25/the-most-tax-friendly-country-in-the-world-is-spoiler-alert-its-not-the-u-s/
that gives a lot more detail.
Despite Canada's reputation as a heavily taxed country, it is apparently #2 in the world based on overall tax burden, with the following methodology:
The accounting giant conducted a major study of the general tax competitiveness of fourteen countries with an emphasis on the climate in 55 major international cities. The study took into consideration the relative corporate income tax, capital tax, sales tax, property tax and miscellaneous local business tax burdens of those countries, along with the statutory labor costs.
With India taking the #1 spot, and the USA coming in at #8, it puts things into a business perspective for the US.

One of the many ways we're screwed.
This news is a little old, but this is the first I've heard about it. It's hard to believe that this could happen, but... then again, it's not so hard to believe.
Here's the story:
To paraphrase, a brokerage employee during a drunken blackout state traded so much money on oil futures that it changed the price of oil globally. One man, while incoherently drunk.
Some excerpts (emphasis mine):
It was 7.45am on June 30 last year when the senior, longstanding broker for PVM Oil Futures was contacted by an admin clerk querying why he'd bought 7m barrels of crude in the middle of the night.
Let's put that into perspective. $1.50 increase on a barrel of oil means that some people had to decide between filling their car to go to work or eating that week. Did people their jobs because they couldn't afford the gas to get to them? Did people die because they couldn't afford oil to heat their homes. This one man pushed oil prices up -globally-.
I'd say he deserves a harsher punishment than what is indicated in the article, but the problem is systemic. Brokers and corporations all have their collective twitchy finger on the same button. But no, they want to be deregulated further. They want no oversight. They want the inmates to run the asylum.

A "die-hard conservative Republican" embraces Universal Health Care
Someone on my Twitter feed just linked me to this article. Really excellent read about someone who comes to the realization that they have been lied to for a long time about how Universal Health Care works. The author describes herself as a "die-hard conservative Republican" several times, who was disgusted by the idea of being under a gov't mandated health plan in Canada.
I'm Canadian, so I can't really speak to her experience in the US system, but having grown up in Canada, and having used the system all my life, her experience with the Canadian system rings true.
Some excerpts:
When I moved to Canada in 2008, I was a die-hard conservative Republican. So when I found out that we were going to be covered by Canada's Universal Health Care, I was somewhat disgusted. This meant we couldn't choose our own health coverage, or even opt out if we wanted too. It also meant that abortion was covered by our taxes, something I had always believed was horrible. I believed based on my politics that government mandated health care was a violation of my freedom.

Halifax man pepper-sprays teen over gay slurs
A 39-year-old Halifax man says he used pepper spray on a teenager after she harassed his partner for six weeks.
"I actually pepper-sprayed her," said Christopher Whittle. Whittle spoke with the CBC's Elizabeth Chiu because he wants people to know this was not a random act.
The incident happened last Friday, when Halifax Regional Police said a 14-year-old girl was sprayed with an irritant near the parking lot of the Halifax Shopping Centre.
"This was happening every few days. She was coming and making comments about him being gay, and basically just taunting him for who he was, calling him a faggot, fruit whatever," Whittle said.
Friday, Whittle said he witnessed an incident between the girl and his partner. He said he snapped.
Whittle said he was shocked to find out the person he sprayed was a 14-year-old girl. He said she looks older, and assumed she was a woman.
"I do regret how I handled it. I could have handled it differently. But at the time I guess I was just so upset with everything that had gone on, that's how I reacted."
Police say whatever the reason, there's no excuse to pepper spray anyone.
"They should take other means such as calling police, and allow us to deal with it so they don't find themselves in a position of being charged criminally," said Halifax Const. Brian Palmeter.

The American Dream by the Provocateur Network
Interesting little video I was directed to yesterday. It's definitely worth the 30 minute run time to get through it (though the ending is perhaps a bit needlessly jingoistic).
From the information box on YouTube:
The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.
I was going to put it into the Video & Multimedia section, but it seems a little... conspiracy-theory-ish for that department, at times.
Update: Here's a good review of the video, indicating some of its shortfalls. I did notice the absence of Glass-Steagall in the video, etc...

(Canada) Enbridge deletes islands to push pipeline
Canadian energy giant Enbridge wants to put an oil pipeline/tanker route from the already dubious tar sands through waterways and rainforest to move oil. Seem dangerous? Well, in order to make it seem -less- dangerous, Enbridge had 1000 square kilometers of islands deleted from a map in both images and a video showing the project, in order to make it look more appealing.
Enbridge has been in the news a lot lately due to terrible pipeline oil spills like this:
but this latest move just seems that much more offensive, because it assumes that all the people involved are stupid. From the article in the Vancouver Sun:
About 1,000 square kilometres of islands have disappeared from Douglas Channel in an animated depiction of Enbridge Inc.'s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and tanker route.
Enbridge is a dirty, polluting, unsafe company, and is lying through their teeth to get us to just buck up and let them do what they want, and damn the torpedoes. Here are links to some of the relevant sources and resources:

Fantastic short essay about Chick-fil-a
From the Owldolatrous Productions blog:
A sample:
Now, lets get to the nitty-gritty of things. Please read carefully. These things have been said before, but not by me, and not all in one place. Please read with an open mind. If you cant read with an open mind, please leave, take a minute, come back, and try again. If you cant do that, then please dont bother. Please read all of the words here, rather than just reading half of the argument and assuming you know what Im saying. Read these words as they are written. Again, if you dont want to read my words, then dont continue.
He goes on for a few more excellent points. By and large the comments are very supportive, but even as clearly as he's put it, there are still some who -just don't get it!!-
This is also making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter.

Can we please stop calling it bullying?
And call it what it really is? Assault and violence.
As WillParkinson posted a little earlier, a 14 year old child was blinded in one eye when students from the grade below held him down and beat him around the head and face until his glasses broke and damaged his cornea. He now needs a transplant. The family is now suing the school:
But they bandy the word "bullying" around again and again. Listen, I was bullied in high school. Kids can be cruel and mean little shits, but this is not bullying. We keep hearing that kids will be kids and that children need to stand up to bullies... I agree. But these kids that beat this 14 year old up are not bullies. They are dangerous, violent people. This is a separate problem from bullying, this is children that have gone completely wild, and are out of control.
How bad have things gotten when we can see something like this and call it bullying? Or shake our heads and say that kids will be kids? Kids are -dying- out there. Kids are being maimed, injured, blinded. Bullying is losing your lunch money, not your eye.

Why Lady Gaga's Cancellation in Indonesia is bad
From Alan Cross, a Canadian "professional music geek," longtime radio broadcaster, and blogger.
He was just in Singapore for the Music Matters conference there, and the cancellation was big news there!
From his article:
The status of her Jakarta show was big news in Singapore--and not merely celebrity news, either. It was a hearts and minds issue and one with serious political and social overtones. (Rather than rehash everything here, please go back and read the original post.)
Here are the two relevant posts:
I think the big take-away from this one is "Authorities have caved to the demands of a religious minority."

This review is from: Pioneer HTP-072 5.1 Channel Home Theater Package with 3D AV Receiver, Subwoofer and Satellite Speakers
Pros: Amazing price. 4 HDMI in for Audio and Video. Easy to setup, didn't have to mess with the settings much. DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD lossless audio and Dolby Digital Plus for Netflix and Directv, 4K passthrough for future needs. 3D is a plus but I don't have a 3D TV so it's not that important to me.
Cons: I wish there was a little more space in between the HDMI ports, my HDMI cables/plugs are really fat and wide so I had to get a few new thinner ones but they're cheap online so no biggie.
For some reason Dolby Digital isn't working on Prime streaming or Vudu while using PS3.
Other Thoughts: I didn't know what I was missing until I got this system. DTS-HD Master Audio/Dolby TrueHD on Blu Rays is absolutely amazing, what a difference! My previous home theater setup was a very basic Sony 5.1 with Dolby Digital only via the optical toslink due to lack of HDMI. Watching Blu Rays wasn't very good because it would default to 2 channel audio. I was just going to get a new receiver with HDMI but they're around $200-$250 just for the receiver with 4K passthrough so I figured this whole setup for $200 was a way better option and I won't have to get a new receiver when I upgrade to a 4K TV in the near future.READ FULL REVIEW

This review is from: LG 42" 1080p LCD HDTV 42LB5D
Pros: 1080P, 10,000:1 Contrast, 5ms response, LG brand name at a great price.
Cons: XBOX 360 only works in HDMI port 3, don't know why.
Other Thoughts: I picked this up for $1,099 out the door, free shipping and no tax. I ordered it on a Friday and received it the following Wednesday. Amazing picture, good sound, best deal out there on a brand name 42" LCD 1080P with these specs and fast 5ms response, most only have 8ms. Very bright and has an excellent picture.READ FULL REVIEW

Most enthralling story I've read in a while...,
This review is from: She Is Not Invisible (Hardcover)
What struck me first was how detailed and precise Laureth's narration was, and how intricate her life was like being blind, but that it did not trouble her at all. It was so realistically accurate that I was astounded at how powerful Marcus Sedgwick had written her point of view. Her outlook on the world was strong and vivid, because she had learned to perceive things differently to how others would with sight, and how strong of a poise she had regardless.
The story follows Laureth as she steals her mother's credit card to journey to find out what happened to her father, who's notebook has shown up in New York after he was doing research in Austria. He's been trying to write a novel about coincidence for several years and without success. Laureth's mother thinks he has an obsession with it, though Laureth has her own suspicions, including thinking he might be heading for a breakdown of some sort, but that something just isn't right about the situation. So when she finds out about his notebook showing up nowhere near Austria, and all the way over in NYC, Laureth knows that the pieces don't add up and she must do something...soon.
With her odd little brother Benjamin, she heads off into the unknown territory to find her father. I thought at this point, and at many before and after this point, that Laureth was incredibly brave, yet delicate at times, she had the courage that isn't found in just anybody, but in someone who truly believes in themselves, blind or not.
I was amazed that in the entire novel, there wasn't a moment where I thought I was missing out on any descriptive writing or lacking details, because of Laureth being blind. She was inquisitive and very aware of her surroundings, and that made for a magnificent novel with more power and emotion than I had read in a very long time. I was baffled, fascinated and hooked at the challenges that Laureth and Benjamin and their family went through throughout the novel, and the consequences and coincidence that intertwined with the plot was inevitably brilliant.
A huge five star novel that's surely going to be loved by many more to come, that I thought was astonishing and flawless. Incredible!

What was that? They shouldn't have used the water shot at the beggining, that way the different shots would fit into the beat of the song. And what the heck at the end? They look above to the sun and the image suddenly changes to the logo out of nowhere, they could at least put a flash transition to make it less weird.
Porter is a nice name except that it's too obvious. But Parker sounds like someone who parks cars to me so I wasn't seeing them keeping the name either. I was hoping that they would rename him to have a "J" or "G" as the first letter of his name, though.

- Smart takes March 17
This weekend, Veronica Mars fans were delighted by the release of the long-awaited film sequel, which was partially funded through a Kickstarter campaign to the tune of $5.7 million last year. But now that the excitement of a new Veronica Mars adventure has worn off, critics can start evaluating the content of the film — and NPR's Linda Holmes has a particularly thoughtful critique of the movie's troubling philosophy on relationships. (Spoilers for the Veronica Mars movie to follow.)
The Veronica Mars movie offers a textbook example of what Holmes dubs "The Bad Caterpillar Theory": The idea that a "mean, jealous, possessive, violent, angry, emotionally unavailable," guy will evolve into a noble, trustworthy, good-hearted man if the female protagonist simply waits long enough. In this case, Veronica's boyfriend of nearly a decade is pushed aside in favor of Logan Echolls, a bad boy with a heart of gold:
By the time the movie starts, Logan has emerged as the Butterfly to a degree that's almost comical. He no longer has any flaws whatsoever; he shows up in Navy whites that weirdly look like they're too big for him, but the message is clear: he's all grown up. There's effectively no edge left to the character at all, and although the movie co-opts the language of addiction and recovery to have Veronica talk about the relationship as an addiction, there's no indication that any of it is actually bad for her or that she's even legitimately conflicted about it. He's transparently innocent of the crime she's trying to get him off the hook for, he's in the Navy ... he's basically been transformed into a cartoon prince.
At last, her patience, her faith, her unwillingness to give up has paid off. The Butterfly has arrived.
So of course she has to dump her nice, generous, supportive, unexciting boyfriend. Of course she does. [NPR]

Sewell Disappointed In Brooks' Call For Legal Action Against Obama
- Details
20 Nov 2014
By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter
BIRMINGHAM—On Wednesday, November 19, Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D from Selma) responded to Congressman Mo Brooks' (R from Huntsville) bill to sue President Obama (D) over his Executive Action on Immigration, which will be announced on Thursday in a nationally televised address.
Representative Sewell said in a written statement, "I am deeply disappointed with my colleague from Alabama, Representative Mo Brooks, for introducing legislation to bring legal action against President Obama for acting within his existing executive authority to improve our nation's broken immigration system. While legislative action is always preferable, House Republicans have refused to act on this urgent issue for far too long. Our families, communities, and national and local economies can no longer afford the steep price for this reckless inaction. Contrary to the allegations against our President, the legal authority for taking executive action is consistent with existing law and historical precedent. In fact, President Abraham Lincoln freed American slaves through an executive order, the Emancipation Proclamation. Likewise, President Harry Truman integrated our nations Armed Forces through the use of an executive order, and every Administration since President Dwight D. Eisenhower has used such authority to address similar issues pertaining to the national interest. Instead of wasting time and taxpayer dollars on this frivolous lawsuit, my colleague from North Alabama should abandon political grandstanding and work with those of us in Congress who are championing bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform."
Congressman Mo Brooks said in a statement on Facebook, "In response to President Obama's promised executive amnesty, Monday night I introduced a resolution that would authorize the House of Representatives to sue the President or other Executive Branch officials for actions that are inconsistent with their duties under the Constitution, with respect to immigration laws."
Rep. Brooks said, "Seeking judicial guidance is not partisan, there is a bigger issue at stake. The overarching issue in this litigation is the delicate balance of power that our nation's founders embodied in our Constitution. Embodied in that overarching issue is one question: Is America based on tyranny or democracy?"
According to media reports President Obama will unilaterally give legal status and work permits to an estimated five million illegal aliens.
There are 22 documented instances of President Obama telling immigrant groups that he did not have the power to grant Executive Amnesty. In September 2011, President Obama stated that he lacked authority to unilaterally grant Executive Amnesty, "This notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. ... We are doing everything we can administratively. But the fact of the matter is, there are laws on the books that I have to enforce."
The Constitution has not changed, but President Obama's opinion of his own powers has changed.
In response Congressman Brooks introduced House Resolution 757 to authorize the House of Representatives to seek a declaratory judgment action in federal court to determine whether President Obama's amnesty executive order violates the Constitution and federal immigration law duties, and, if so, to obtain injunctive relief and a writ of mandamus to compel President Obama and the Executive Branch to obey immigration laws as passed by Congress, signed into law by presidents, and interpreted by Federal judges.
Congressman Brooks said, "As his own words reflect, President Obama knows he lacks legal authority to grant Executive Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Yet, in response to special interest group pressures, President Obama says he will grant executive amnesty anyway. President Obama should be held to his own words and bound by the United States Constitution. Thankfully, our system of government grants courts the authority to resolve legal disputes. The Federal courts are best suited to determine if Obama is exceeding his authority, and, if so, how to reverse it. Under America's Constitution, we elect presidents, not dictators or tyrants. Under our system of government, legal disputes of this nature are for the courts to decide. My resolution empowers the U.S. House of Representatives to do that."

Palmer Makes Term Limits Pledge
- Details
20 Nov 2014
By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter
BIRMINGHAM—On Tuesday, November 18, U.S. Term Limits (USTL), which calls itself the nation's oldest and largest term limits advocacy group, announced today that at least 13 new signers of its congressional term limits amendment pledge have been elected to the 114th Congress. The group includes four new senators, eight new House members and one House incumbent who signed the pledge for the first time this cycle. Included in this group is Alabama's Sixth District Congressional District Congressman elect Gary Palmer.
The group is asking Congress to co-sponsor and vote for a constitutional amendment limiting House members to three terms (six years) and Senators to two terms (12 years).
USTL President Philip Blumel said, "The American people are fed up with career politicians in Washington and strongly embracing term limits as a remedy. We applaud these pledge signers for putting the people's choice ahead of their own personal ambitions."
USTL said that once sworn in, the new signers will be reminded to co-sponsor the U.S. Term Limits Amendment, a bill that currently has 30 sponsors between its House and Senate versions. Introduced by David Vitter (R from Louisiana) in the Senate and Matt Salmon (R from Arizona) in the House, it will now have more than double the support of any other term limits legislation.
U.S. Term Limits hope that congressional leaders will take notice as support builds in both chambers.
On Thursday, June 19 in the Alabama's Republican Sixth Congressional District Candidates debate, former Alabama Policy Institute President Gary Palmer said that political office should not be a job. He said that he is committed not to move up there (Washington). "Congressmen that do, they become part of the Washington culture." Palmer pledged to hold a breakfast once a month to discuss issues with constituents and develop a farm team of leaders for the state, including his eventual replacement. Congressman elect Palmer has vowed that he will come home when his ten years are up whether term limits pass or not.
The debate at Birmingham's Region Park was hosted by the Greater Birmingham Young Republicans (GBYR).
Blumel said, "Gallup polling shows that 75 percent of Americans support term limits, including big majorities with Republicans, Democrats and Independents. As their colleagues jump on board, leadership will not be able to get away with ignoring the issue much longer."
In the 1990s, U.S. Term Limits assisted victorious initiative campaigns in 23 states to term limit their own members of Congress. In the 1995 case U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, the Supreme Court decided 5-4 to undo these limits and disallow any further action by states.
With the states forbidden from passing congressional term limits, USTL is pinning its hopes on the constitutional amendment.
Newly elected House Signers include: Gary Palmer (AL-6), Ken Buck (CO-4), Rick Allen (GA-12), Rod Blum (IA-1), Lee Zeldin (NY-1), John Ratcliffe (TX-4), Dave Brat (VA-7), Frank Guinta (NH-1), and Tom Rooney (FL-17).
Newly elected Senate Signers include Senator-elect: Ben Sasse from Nebraska, Thom Tillis from North Carolina, David Perdue from Georgia, and Steve Daines from Montana.
There is a possibility of picking up another signer in Louisiana, where Bill Cassidy (R) is participating in a Senate runoff on Dec. 6th with incumbent Mary Landrieu (D).
Hubbard Attorney Reacts To Davis Statements
- Details
19 Nov 2014
By Bill Britt
Alabama Political Reporter
Speaker Hubbard's team of PR specialists took nearly seven hours to respond to the press statement from Acting Attorney General W. Van Davis, concerning false allegations being made by Hubbard and his attorney J. Mark White.
Davis took Hubbard and White to task for their false accretions that the 23 felony charges against Hubbard are a politically motivated witch hunt with a rogue prosecution.
Davis, point-by-point, knocked down each one of the Hubbard spin machine's outrageous accusations.
Not only did Davis catch Hubbard and White flat-footed, he landed a body blow that left White squealing like a little girl: "He's touching me," as one political consultant said.
White, who likes to try his cases in the media, responded by slinging a kitchen sink full of accusations back at Davis. His biggest argument boils down to Davis not putting a disclaimer on the statement saying that Hubbard was presumed innocent until proven guilty.
White also filed a motion with Lee County Circuit Judge Jacob Walker, III, with regards to alleged "media tape recording," which one Montgomery attorney characterized as, "when caught with your pants down, point at the audience and say look over there."
White may very well try to sue the prosecution for talking to the media, as he seems to think he is the only person allowed to do so.
White once said he was having a difficult time convincing Hubbard that the word, "speaker" was a noun and not a verb.
It would seem that White wants Davis to shut up and stop touching him.
Davis Addresses False Allegations Made by Hubbard and His Attorney
- Details
19 Nov 2014
By Bill Britt
Alabama Political Reporter
MONTGOMERY—In the boldest of terms, Acting Attorney General W. Van Davis let it be known that Speaker Mike Hubbard and his attorney J. Mark White have been making false and unfounded statements in the press about the investigation that lead to 23 Felony indictments against Hubbard.
"The indictment of Mr. Hubbard was the result of a lengthy, thorough and lawfully conducted Grand Jury investigation – not a "political witch Hunt,"said Davis in a release to the media at 9am Tuesday morning.
Davis, who serves as the lead prosecutor in the investigation and prosecution Hubbard said, "false allegations" by Hubbard and White "require[d]" that he "respond as Acting Attorney General."
So extraordinarily brazen have Hubbard's attacks been on Davis, Attorney General Luther Strange and Matt Hart, the Chief of the AG's Public Corruption that prosecution felt a need to respond with the facts.
Prosecutors are limited by law as to what they can say about a case, however, under State law, they can respond to the types of unfounded allegations made by Hubbard, White and their surrogates.
Davis first reminds the press and public that it was a Grand Jury of 18 citizens in Lee County that found, "probable cause," that Hubbard had committed the crimes and indicted him on 23 felony ethics charges," not the prosecution.
Next he explained, that the timing of the indictments was the result of the "four-year statute of limitations," and not an election, as Hubbard has stated.
Davis also revealed that the Grand Jury heard testimony for 46 days over a twelve month period, from October 2013 to October 2014, with hundreds of thousands of documents reviewed as well as the testimony of over 150 witnesses considered.
The sheer volume of documentation and witness testimony is enough to qualify this as one of the more complex and thorough investigations in State history.
Davis made it abundantly clear that, "the Grand Jury proceeded at a proper pace to conduct a thorough, fair, and complete investigation of all of the criminal acts alleged in this case."
Davis, who has served for 18 years as a district attorney, made it clear that assigning a political motivation to the investigation that led to Hubbard's arrest was simply a lie.
Davis last ran for office as a Republican and won in 1998. Since then, he has served as Supernumerary District Attorney, for the State in many cases.
Davis said that he had, "no political allegiance to anyone – including Attorney General Luther Strange – which would affect my role as the Acting Attorney General in the prosecution of Mr. Hubbard."
Davis took exception with Hubbard's repeated accusation that "rogue" prosecutors were out to get him, stating, "the prosecutors and investigators assigned to me are not "rogue" – to the contrary, they have conducted the investigation under my supervision, direction and control. The prosecutors and agents utilized standard, conservative methods and techniques in the investigation of this matter."
Hubbard and White have also asserted that Davis had "smeared," the name of leading business men in the State. Referring to the naming of Robert Abrams, James Holbrook, Robert Barton, Will Brooke and Jimmy Rane in the indictments, to this Davis said, "Anyone named in the indictment – other than Mr. Hubbard – has not been charged with a crime." He referred to the other individuals named in the indictments as "witnesses to the alleged crimes and nothing more."
Does Davis mean that former Gov. Bob Riley, Minda Riley Champbell, Billy Canary and the others will be witnesses against Hubbard?
Davis closed by stating that he, "intend[s] to try this case in a courtroom before a jury and not in the press." However, Hubbard and White want to try this case in the court of public opinion and not a court of law.
Davis took a giant step forward by pointing out the false allegations made by Hubbard and White. It will be interesting to see how Hubbard responds. Will he "bring down holy hell or everlasting sh*t," as he has promised to do in the past? Only time will tell.
After a seven hour lack, Hubbard's attorney issued his press release.
ALGOP Steering Committee Member Warns Against "Gambling Crowd"
- Details
19 Nov 2014
By Byron Shehee
Alabama Political Reporter
MONTGOMERY — Nearly two weeks after a sweeping election, Republican Steering Committee Member Don Wallace (Tuscaloosa) asked fellow committee members not to support any future pro-gambling proposals after their gains on election night.
In an email to the committee earlier this week, Wallace specifically asked the other members to "express to the Governor that expanded gambling will not be met without opposition." Wallace cited the large sum of money spent in the Attorney General's race as reason for concern.
Wallace said, "We just fought back a blatant attempt by the corrupt gambling crowd to buy the Attorney General's office, now I read the Governor and Chairman Clouse (Tusc News) putting expanded casino gambling and a lottery on the table."
The committee was also reminded that the public voted against a pro-gaming amendment pushed by former Governor Don Siegelman in 1999.
Wallace didn't just call for caution; he called for action as well.
Following the alarm, Wallace put forth a series of positions that he thinks Republicans should use to govern effectively over the next four years.
Wallace called on the Republicans to "right-size" government, reduce bureaucracy and eliminate red tape in order to better grow jobs. He then explained how cutting waste in government would help the state. Wallace believes the state's taxes could be better used if set aside for prison inmate education, providing insurance to children in need, or some other underfunded program.
Wallace also had the idea to cap the education budget. He said, "Cap the education budget where it is, cut the Administration part of the budget by 10% to give teachers/classrooms more money, then give any increase in revenues to the General Fund for prisons, etc."
Wallace even pointed out how government agencies like Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) are levying fines against our State's towns and cities. He indicated the agency's size may need to be revisited.
Wallace's last point called for giving the State Auditor, Jim Zeigler, the resources necessary to effectively do the job the voters elected him to do. Wallace wants to see a dedicated staff in place to audit and attack waste in State government. In turn, Wallace believes government could be further reduced by eliminating the Department of Examiners.
Wallace closed by asking everyone not to forget what the elections mean to the Republicans. He said, "Tell the Governor no, on throwing away a victory and giving the game to the gambling bosses. We have fought too hard to take a knee and give up!"

A friend and I had lunch at Jensen's on Thursday, October 9th. We were seated right away, and the restaurant was not busy. Our server was prompt and told us about the drink specials being offered.
We both enjoyed our food very much (I had the chicken bacon chop sandwich with shallot yukon potatoes for $14), and our server, Trisha, gave us some of the best service I have had in a very long time — can't say enough good things about her!
Jensen's is located right next to the Twin Cities Premium Outlet Center, has had a recent makeover, and is a great place for lunch.
I just returned from a massage with Megan at Massage Haven. This is maybe my fifth massage here in the past couple of years, and I have never been disappointed. These therapists are definitely nothing like the run-of-the-mill franchised professionals; they use a variety of manipulations to produce the best results and are very concerned with the client's comfort level. I highly recommend Massage Haven. Rates listed below are copied from their website. (Watch Groupon for specials throughout the year.)
Regular Rates
$38 for 30 minutes
$70 for 60 minutes
$99 for 90 minutes
$125 for 120 minutes
Purchase a "5-Pack" (60 minutes each) for only $295
(That's $59 for each 60 minute massage. A $55 savings!)
Purchase a "10-Pack" (60 minutes each) for only $525
(That's $52.50 for each 60 minute massage. A $175 savings!)
Aromatherapy Massage: Choose from a variety of scents to enhance your
massage experience.
$75 for 60 minutes
The McDonald's on Silver Bell Road (near the new Premium Outlets) has always been a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to order-filling accuracy, but tonight's incompetency would have been laughable if I didn't have to make a return trip and then finally come home to cold McDonald's (ugh, the worst).
Items ordered and received (confirmed on the order board):
2 cheeseburger meal, only ketchup (correct item received)
10-piece McNuggets, SS sauce, BBQ sauce, Buffalo sauce (no sauce in bag whatsoever)
20-piece McNuggets, same sauces as above (again, zero sauces in bag)
Filet-O-Fish, no tartar sauce (received fish with little to no cheese and no tartar)
Filet-O-Fish, regular (correct item received)
1 cheeseburger, ketchup only (received a cheeseburger with everything on it)
Side salad with Southwest dressing (no salad, no dressing in bag)
Medium Sprite (got that one right)
Of course, we discovered all of the mistakes when we got home. (My son thought he'd checked the bags pretty thoroughly in the parking lot, but obviously not.) I usually let their mistakes slide, but five inaccuracies put me over the top, so I drove back. After waiting in line inside, they brought over a salad in a bag, like they were expecting me to come back for it. (I had even asked in the drive-thru if they'd given me everything that first time around — yep, all there!
While waiting for the fish filet, the young man pulled out three containers of sauce for the chicken nuggets. I said, "We have 30 McNuggets," and he said, "These are the three sauces you ordered." I said, "Yes, but we have 30 McNuggets, so we need at least 2 of each sauce," which is exactly what he gave me. I took a quick peek in the salad bag, and, sure enough, there was a packet of French dressing, not Southwest. I didn't even mention (forgot to bring it back with me) the cheeseburger that had everything on it.
I will drive out of my way from now on to avoid this particular McDonald's. Not only was the service bordering on absurd tonight, but there was absolutely no effort made to placate a very inconvenienced customer.
I love our local stations, always have. But…the addition of Josie Smith as the KSTP traffic person is leaving me confused. She talks about the horrible traffic and back-ups with a pretty creepy smile on her face…what?? I think Josie has a beautifully calming voice, but when reporting ugly traffic, she could perhaps show a little distress and/or discomfort for the listeners who are soon to be stuck in it. There should be just a little tweaking in the presentation — identify with your audience, Josie. (BTW, you could totally be a commercial voice-over person, soooo soothing.)
My son is currently going through his second phase of braces with Dr. Eisenhuth's practice. First of all, kudos to the doctor's marketing team — geniuses! She has many "perks" to help the process of braces seem much less traumatizing than in the olden days. There are customer appreciation events, various contests, and a wonderful waiting area with free wifi, fresh-baked cookies, bottled water, coffee, and smoothies. The kids are given a token for wearing their Dr. Jennifer t-shirts to appointments, a token for being on time, and tokens for a variety of other reasons. Tokens can then be traded in for gift cards, etc.
I'm pretty sure there are many orthodontists who offer more affordable braces (we paid around $6,000 for this latest round), but the overall experience at this office is always positive, including the friendly staff. FYI, they do offer a payment plan.
I highly recommend Dr. Eisenhuth's services.
I took my son school shopping at this beautiful new center the week after it opened (August 2014) in Eagan. It is mostly open-air with some covered walkways. I found the prices to be comparable to the regular retail stores; although, we only went into a few shops. At Famous Footwear, I had a coupon for BOGO 50% off with an added 20% off. They would not honor the BOGO (due to their "outlet" status), but they did take 20% off the final cost.
The restrooms are plentiful, and the food court area is indoors. We ate at the Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen and enjoyed the pasta and salad (cost was average for "fast food," but quality was much better).
Tips: Go online before you shop and join the VIP Club. Then stop at the Information Center (in the food court building), and they will give you a coupon book with many specials. For parking, the surface lots were completely full (on a Friday afternoon!), but there was plenty of parking in the ramp.
I have a feeling Manish Dayal (Hassan Kadam) and Charlotte LeBon (Marguerite) are going to be big stars as a result of this movie. Our book club saw this after reading the book of the same name. This movie is worth seeing just for the beautiful landscape alone, but it also holds up in the acting and writing departments. It deviates somewhat from the book, but that is to be expected. I like a movie that puts me in a good mood, and this one certainly accomplished that.
Our book club at ate Bonfire on 8/14/2014 after seeing the movie The Hundred-Foot Journey (see my movie review). Bonfire has wonderful happy hour offerings: half-price appetizers, $2 off drinks, beer specials. Happy hour is daily from 3-6 p.m. and 9-12 p.m. We were all very pleased with our selections (my buffalo chicken flatbread was excellent). There were two very minor issues: A glass of wine was served with lipstick on the rim (quickly remedied by our server) and there was a spider on the move in the light fixture above our table (we didn't mention it). The ambiance was nice and service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.
We bought a used car over the weekend (8/14) and had an excellent experience with our salesperson, Dameon. We were not impressed, however, with the woman who works in the finance department. She used the term "shaggin' wagon" twice in front of our 12-year-old son (she was referring to our older son's trade-in) — very unprofessional and borderline crude. Five stars for Dameon, one star for the finance person.
My husband was out of town, and his car needed (what he thought were) three new tires. I made an appointment at Discount Tire. When I arrived, the tech took down the information, at which time I mentioned that the car probably needed three new tires. He went out and inspected the tires and came back saying that we only needed ONE new tire. What? Honesty and integrity at a car place? I bought the tire at a fair price, waited about an hour, and was on my way. I will definitely return to this store for future tire purchases. Way to go, Discount Tire!

The ß in my Name originates from the letters s and z (and is called "sz" in german).
For EDV means it normaly translates into "ss", since sz looks kind of weird (but would be correct). I don't realy like it because tehre is a diffrence between Theiss / Theis and my Family: Theiß
But that is the only letter i know about a thing like this. For the "th": A lot of english / american speakers pronunce my name with english "th" and read the ß as a b so it sounds like "thib". We say Theiß like Taiss (sorry, would have to look up the phonectis and how to write them)
The th is spoken more like a single T or maybe a D, but never like "th".
Could be that someone changed his Name from "th" to T or D in the beginning to avoid this... it just sounds strange to pronunce it "th"... But that would not have taken a new letter to do so. ß is the only "combined" letter i know. But i am a scientist and not a student of phonectis or languages...
P.S.: Whoever finds spelling mistakes in my post may feel free to eat them, or decorate his christmas tree with them i don't about spelling mistakes!

15 East - Pedestrian Sushi and A Scaly Foot
- omotosando Jul 23, 2014 08:49 PM
There has been a lot of hype on this Board about 15 East, and I was quite excited to try the restaurant on a recent visit to New York.
Now good sushi is expensive and New York City, with rent and other overhead, is an especially expensive place to run a restaurant, so at $140 for omakase, I was not exactly expecting sublime sushi. But based on all that hype, I was expecting something along the lines of the perfectly decent sushi I could expect to find for the same price point, give or take, in Los Angeles.
Sadly, it was not to be, perhaps a function of the higher overhead of doing business in New York versus Los Angeles, meaning that after paying rent, taxes and salaries, there is little left over for the food.
Someone else on this Board – one of the few people not hyping 15 East – compared the sushi quality there to what you would find at a department store in Japan, and I think that sums it up nicely. Every single piece of sushi in my $140 omakase (as well as the non-sushi dishes) was average – there was not a single piece of fish that made me think "wow, this is really high quality fish."
I also found the restaurant most unpleasant. There is a lovely Japanese expression "shibui," which describes a Japanese aesthetic that is hard to completely define or translate, but in my mind conjures up refinement and a subdued elegance. I would describe the whole 15 East experience as anti-shibui.
First, when I walked in and sat down at the sushi bar, there were quite a few people standing with drinks and talking loudly close to the sushi bar area as they waited for their tables in the dining room. So, it was not exactly the feeling I hope to get at a good sushi bar of leaving the hurly-burly world behind and stepping into a bastion of refined tranquility.
The sushi bar itself was cramped and seated immediately to the right of me was a barefoot woman with extremely scaly feet who, perhaps confused that she was in a sushi bar and not a yoga class, was sitting cross-legged with both her feet up in the chair. (I am not making this up.) Because the sushi bar is so closely situated, her right scaly foot was practically in my lap. It was not pretty. As I said – the anti-shibui. And it was not like she sat in that position for a minute or two – no, she spent her entire meal in that position periodically widening her legs (in a mini-dress, no less) to reposition herself. In a different establishment with more attentive service, one would hope that the staff would have noticed and explained to the woman that it is customary to both keep one's shoes on and keep one's feet on the floor when sitting at a sushi bar, but at 15 East, the staff either did not take note or did not care.
If the food was not so pedestrian, sitting next to Miss Scaly Foot might not have been so annoying, but combined with the pedestrian food, all I could think of was that I should have tried a different sushi bar. This brings up the philosophical question of whether a restaurant can be blamed for the boors who frequent it. Perhaps "blame" is the wrong word, but part of the dining experience, especially when you are in close quarters, are the others who frequent the restaurant. Although I haven't been in years, I used to dine frequently at Kuruma and I just cannot imagine anyone sitting barefoot and cross-legged at the sushi bar at Kuruma. Different restaurants attract different crowds. Perhaps a Japanese restaurant that attracts more of a business crowd or more Japanese diners would have been a better choice for me. (Every Japanese person to whom I have told the story of Miss Scaly Feet has looked at me bug-eyed).
In between discussing where they would be going the following day to attend yoga class, Miss Scaly Foot and her dining companion kept loudly extolling the "absolutely amazing" sushi. Miss Scaly Foot's companion also paid for her dinner because the companion works at some high-paid job that she loathes, so her only consolation in life is to be able to take her friends like Miss Scaly Foot out to "amazing" restaurants. Since the food was, in fact, far from amazing, this just added to the whole feeling of having landed in yahoo-land.
The meal was capped off by low-quality sencha. An old saw is that the way to judge a sushi restaurant is on the quality of the tamago, since if the tamago is well made, it is likely that the restaurant pays attention to detail in other matters as well. I was not served tamago at 15 East, but to me, one way to judge a quality of a Japanese restaurant is by the sencha that the restaurant serves. In my experience, really good sushi bars serve high quality sencha. The sencha at 15 East was as pedestrian as the sushi. Which, in the end, made perfect sense.
re: omotosando
I'm in total agreement with you-pedestrian. My go to places for sushi in no particular order: Kyo Ya, Sushi Zen, Brushstroke, Sushi of Gari UES, Sassabune.
Thanks for your thoughtful critique of 15 East, omoto, and I'm sorry your experience there was so poor.
I have to wonder aloud, though, why you didn't speak directly to your insensitive neighbour, or at least motion to one of the staff to do the same on your behalf. There was no need for you to suffer silently for the whole of your repast there.
First off, that sucks about the poor experiences.
In both your EMP and 15E review you mentioned situations that I think could have been resolved if you spoke up. One of the things I personally like about both places is that if you mention something, they will take care of it quickly. While many prefer near-psychic, anticipatory service, I personally don't find a need for that, I just want issues resolved in the rare cases they come up.
Also on the subject of not speaking up, were you served by Masato himself? Did you engage and interact with him? Much has also been said on the board about the need to dine specifically with him. I'm sure if you mentioned your experience and what you were looking for, he would have more stuff that fit your palate.
I haven't been back to Kuruma in years either, but my last dinner at Kuruma was 3x the price of my last dinner at 15E. A possible conclusion might just be that in NYC, you need a $500pp meal to get what you would consider"non-pedestrian" level sushi, whether it be at Kuruma or Masa.
Hmmm. Maybe 15 East needs a bouncer to keep out the rif-raff.......? And enforce proper sitting etiquette. (That is offensive!)
Nice review.
And I agree. Aside from the sencha, I always judge a sushi restaurant's shibui based on whether or not they have a Emjoi Micro-Pedi handy.
Fantastic review. I had the same feeling (sans scaly foot), yet couldn't have described it so perfectly.
I also have had excellent refined sushi at Kuruma. If you haven't been in years you might want to check out some other restaurants, as I've found Kuruma is a little tired.
Yasuda is great although strangely you do have to deal with them mentioning a 90- min limit although I've never seen it enforced.
Masa is fantastic but not only sushi of course and runs about 600$ pp IIRC.
Something different and very zen would be kajitsu. Vegan experience.
re: dndicicco
Thank you so much for reminding me about Kajitsu. I saw it in May when I was buying tea at Ippodo in the same space and made a note to try it, and then I promptly forgot about the place. I will definitely give it a try next time I am back in New York.
I notice from Kajitsu's website, it says "In traditional Japanese cuisine the dishware is an integral part of the meal." That was another thing I didn't like about 15 East - the sushi being placed directly on the counter, rather than on dishware (and the dishware that the non-sushi dishes and dessert were served in was not particularly nice, nor were the teacups).
Sad to hear about Kuruma becoming tired - the New York Times really dissed it in a recent review. Maybe New York can no longer sustain that kind of restaurant.
re: omotosando
Funny, when I was in Tokyo, the sushi was served on the counter.
Sounds like someone has an ax to grind.
re: sushiman
I guess that it is all about timing.
And the footwear of your dining cohorts.
re: sushiman
Pedestrian Shinko and Kyushu Uni
I'm curious about tranquil sushi bars in Tokyo where are they?
Every single one(3 and 1 star michelins) I've been have been party atmospheres where chat topics with itamae and regulars range from mma, hostesses, fishing, panchinko, ramen to horse racing. And customers range from salary men with their mistresses, hostesses on dohan, to tourists doesnt make for much of a shibui atmosphere.
re: Shirang
Try Sawada in Ginza.
The Scaly-Foot situation sounds like a real problem. It's a small bar, so that's not good. But it seems like this review is hardly about the food at all. The meal is dismissed in one sentence "...everything was average..." without even a mention of what was served. Meanwhile, paragraphs are spent talking about the (admittedly rude) people eating next to you.
I had dinner there last night. I hadn't been for a while, so I was curious if perhaps the quality had declined. I found the opposite to be true.
I'm forgetting some things, but the meal kicked off with sea bass sashimi, poached octopus, sea snail, uni/ikura "cocktail." Numerous pieces of sushi - some of the standouts were shinko (amazing), grouper, delicately torched kinmedai, tuna progression (akami/chutoro/otoro), a lightly smoked sockeye salmon, aji, iwashi, saba, giant clam, ark shell clam, an uni progression (Santa Barbara, Hokkaido, Kyushu), melt-in-your mouth anago, all finished off with a negitoro hand roll, with nori so crisp and delicious it rivaled the best I've had in Japan.
If this is pedestrian sushi, I'm scared to try the real thing.
re: lexismore
Sounds just like my meal.
re: lexismore
Your meal sounds great to me. I keep reminding myself that I must try 15 East (especially since I can't dine solo at the sushi bar at Sushi Nakazawa--I'm really getting very annoyed at the restaurants that won't seat solo diners).
re: ellenost
It was great. Just make sure when you reserve, you request a seat with Masa - he doesn't serve the entire bar.
That sucks about solo diners, although I actually prefer 15 East to Nakazawa (although I've only been to the latter once, due to the reservation process).
re: lexismore
Wow that sounds like an ideal meal to me, although sometimes I have a craving for a cooked dish a la Hamachi Kama.
Since you apparently, based on your comments, are fluent in Japanese. I think you should have spoken to Shimizu-san in Japanese about your problem with the woman next to you. Personally i'd go back and hope I have a mini skirted open legged woman next to me. However, without scaly feet. Maybe she saw that spoof youtube where you take your shoes off at a sushi restaurant.
As far as the fish goes. 15 East uses the highest quality fish. The sushi chef has bought fish at Tsukiji for many years with his master and the famous Jiro <cough>. His master is Jiro's best friend . Shimizu-san is one of the most knowledgeable sushi chefs around. Karuma is a total ripoff place IMO.
When Shimizu-san was at his previous location Jewel Bako, which got them a Michelin Star, it had the atmosphere you hoped for. Quiet, perfect service, high quality fish, stored in wood boxes ( Bd of health now scared 15 East so he switched to refrigerator). It was a Sawada like atmosphere.
New York is a party , active, city, and from a business standpoint 15 East tries to be more Geijin friendly. More loose , more understanding of those who are not that familiar with sushi. But if you had a conversation with the chef, you would have gotten better treatment and more concern for your issues.
I think the perfect sushi restaurant in NYC, that would be suitable to your liking is Ichimura at Brushstroke. it is an 8 seat sushi bar. Very quiet, Very much Japanese atmosphere. The chef is an old guy, who is very humble and specializes in his aging of the fish. It is possible to have the finest tea from Japan there. Hon-Kokuro tea. It is the tea where you can eat the leaves after you drink your third brew of it. I think this is more the place for you.
I am sorry you had the bad experience at 15 East, as I love the fish there, I love the tamago, and I love the sushi chef.
re: foodwhisperer
"Personally i'd go back and hope I have a mini skirted open legged woman next to me" +1
"Kuruma is a total ripoff place IMO" +1
re: foodwhisperer
Foodwhisperer - your insight is fantastic!
I haven't had a chance to dine at Ichimura yet. My most recent trip I chose Azabu over Ichimura for some random reason.
Anyway, my favorite types of fish/crustacean are things with distinctive textures (e.g., uni, giant clam, geoduck, ika when they make that cross cut pattern) and marinated flavors (e.g., kohada, iwashi), would Ichimura be the best bet?

November 28, 2014
HRABOVE, Ukraine (August 1, 2014) Dozens of international investigators were setting up a base of operations Friday at a chicken farm in eastern Ukraine from where they will carry out a search of the surrounding area for debris from the Malaysia Airlines crash, and the remains of as many as 80 of the people on board.
The region is still the scene of some fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russia rebels.
As the investigators arrived, the sound of artillery fire could be heard in the distance, and hours earlier, at least 10 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in an ambush by the separatists in a town near the wreckage site.
The investigators are from the Netherlands and Australia, and are joined by officials with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
They traveled from the rebel-held city of Donetsk in 15 cars and a bus, to the crash site outside the village of Hrabove.
The investigative team's top priority is to recover human remains that have been rotting in midsummer heat of 90 degrees since the plane went down on July 17.
They will also try to retrieve the belongings of the 298 people killed aboard the Boeing 777.

FDA Update On Chicken Jerky Treats
Today the FDA released an update to their Chicken Jerky treat investigation. They still do not know the cause but are asking for help from the veterinarian community by requesting that lab testing be submitted to their database. They continue to investigate the Chinese chicken supplies to try to determine potential sources of contamination. The update includes the current tally of sick and diseased pets:
As of September 24, 2013, FDA has received more than 3000 complaints of illness related to consumption of chicken, duck, or sweet potato jerky treats, nearly all of which are imported from China. The reports involve more than 3600 dogs, 10 cats and include more than 580 deaths.
If you have not already stopped feeding foods imported from china, you must stop. The FDA can not conclusively determine that chicken imported from China is the problem, but in our opinion, if the FDA is targeting their investigation on it and the NY Department of Agriculture has determined that the chicken is toxic then it is best to stay away.

Ranbir, Sonam, Deepika: War of Words!
By Sonia Lulla | posted Nov 23rd 2010 at 6:16PM

Bollywood heart throb Ranbir kapoor has probably lost many of his fans after his two ex-girlfriends, Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone decided to turn against him and hint about his alleged infidelity among other things!
Guess Ranbir thinks it's payback time because when her appeared on the sets of Koffee with Karan with Imran Khan, the two rated Sonam Kapoor low on several aspects including acting skills and sex appeal. While Imran got away with it, Ranbir seemed to have dug a grave for himself.
Then there was Deepika and Sonam. While viewers feared the two actresses might not get along (both being Ranbir's exes and all), it turned out that the actor seemed to be the object of their ridicule.
Get a load of this! Deepika once again hinted that Ranbir was a cheat by saying that her one piece of advice to him would be "endorse a condom brand". Well, the first time we heard that our eyes grew wider too! Sonam replied to this comment with a simple "That's a big one!"
In his defense, Ranbir told a reporter on the red carpet of the Teacher's Achievement Awards, "I think she said a good thing. Our country should be aware of safe sex and condom is a means to that. And thank you for that." Poor come back, Ranbir. Deepika takes the score!
Sonam Kapoor, not one to back out of a fight, rated Ranbir the lowest on sex appeal and added that Ranbir was in desperate need of a stylist.
According to a Hindustan Times report, Sonam also said, "Ranbir is a terrible boyfriend as he can't remain faithful, but he can be a very good friend." Now we say, "That's a big one!"
