MONTGOMERYVILLE, PHILADELPHIA, February 18, 2001: As America has become a more multicultural nation, the youth today are free to express their religious and cultural roots without the fear of being misunderstood or ridiculed. So expounds the author of this essay while recalling the most auspicious festival of her religion, Maha Sivaratri. As a teen she expresses her fascination with the night dedicated to Lord Siva and the intensity of the celebrations that left a deep impression on her youthful mind. The bathing of the Siva Lingam, the chanting of Sri Rudram by the priests and the fasting proceeding the annual event filled and thrilled the young Hindu. These traditions have been passed on to her own daughter who openly brings a friend along to the temple to partake in the celebration.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, February 19, 2001: Mark Pinsky, religion writer for the Sentinel newspaper here is publishing a book, "The Gospel According to The Simpsons: The Spiritual Life of America's Most Animated Family." His thesis is that despite its reputation (and beneath the jokes and sarcasm), "The Simpsons" television show treats God, faith and spirituality in a supportive, favorable fashion. He's included a chapter on the treatment of Hinduism, through the recurring character Apu. Informed that some Hindus have taken strong exception to the program, he is soliciting the opinion of Hindus on "The Simpsons" and the treatment of Hinduism, specifically if we feel the show treats Hinduism in a "supportive, favorable fashion," as he contends it does for Christianity. Write to him at "Source" above.

GOA, INDIA, February 12, 2001: Some 8,000 Hindu refugees fleeing religious fanaticism and the civil war in Afghanistan have found shelter in Germany, but they have extreme difficulties in securing visas to India as red-tape prevents their visiting holy places or from immersing the ashes of their dead in the Ganges, as prescribed by the Hindu faith. Mr. Kewal Nagpal, who works as an administrator of a Hindu temple in Cologne run by an Afghan association called the Afghanische Hindu Gemeinde, lost his mother four and a half months back. Her ashes which should have been immersed within 10 days of cremation are in a funeral home. "I get terrible dreams in which she appears and seems to tell me her soul is not at peace," Mr. Nagpal said. But the Indian government refused to grant him a visa because of "security reasons," he was told by the Indian embassy in Bonn. Afghan Hindus are denied visas, as India, driven by security concerns has its security specialists screen applications which can take between six weeks to a year. Many Afghan Hindu refugees hold stateless identity cards issued by the German government which the Indian embassy does not recognize. Approximately 50,000 Hindus lived in Afghanistan prior to the civil war; hardly a handful is left.

KATHMANDU, NEPAL, February 15, 2001: Honored by both Hindus and Buddhists alike, a new Goddess is being sought to serve in an ancient temple in Kathmandu. Selected from the Buddhist Shakya family, the new young Kumari would be assigned duties including several daily appearances to bless devotees. Many parents are avoiding the process as they want to educate their daughters for the work force, the life of the young Goddess is very isolated, and many Kumaris remain unmarried when their service ends. Tradition dictates retirement after puberty and until recently the money received was meagre. Retired Kumaris now receive about $40 a month from the government.
SAN LEANDRO, CALIFORNIA, February 17, 2001: A Mumbai-based drug giant Cipla Limited has attracted worldwide headlines by offering accessibility of a cocktail of generic life-saving AIDS drugs to voluntary organizations and governments at a whopping 95 percent discount or more compared to American retail prices. Company chairman Yusuf K. Hamied says he has a reason for doing this. The AIDS epidemic, he said, "is a tragedy. By making this humanitarian offer, we are telling the world, 'Please wake up.' Otherwise we are in for another holocaust." Cipla, India's third-largest drug company by sales, is offering the life-saving AIDS cocktail, which comprises three drugs -- stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine. Cipla offers three-tier pricing: $1,200 to wholesalers for a year's supply for a single patient, $600 for governments, and $350 to Medecins Sans Frontiere (Doctors Without Borders). MSF is the Nobel Prize-winning voluntary organization of doctors that gives medical care to the underserved. They get the drugs on the condition that they distribute them free of charge. The offer to MSF is below the cost of manufacture. Bought from drug companies licensed to produce these drugs, a year's supply of these same drugs can cost anything from $10,000 to $15,000 in the U.S.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 14, 2001: Journalists from around the world were honored at the International Press Institute World Congress in January with the Dalai Lama's presence. Charming the audience with his wit and humor, the revered religious leader of the Tibetan people gave his input on the Freedom of the Press. He alluded to the analogy of comparing journalists to elephants whereby they should sniff all around and investigate everything and everyone with sincere motivation. Encouraging the people of the press to practice nonviolence and compassion and to find peace in the midst of adversity, the 14th Tibetan Pontiff won the hearts of those in the audience. Many members of the press at the conference asked for clarification on the Dalai Lama's view of conversion. Reiterating his original comments, the humble Tibetan leader expressed that it is better to keep the religion you are born into because it influences your thinking. If conversion is forced, the individual never becomes a sincere convert but, if after deep self-reflection and philosophical study, the person commits to the premises of their new faith, then conversion is true, he explained.

NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 13, 2001: A 100-strong mob ransacked a shop selling Valentine's Day cards in east Delhi, smashing glass windows and burning the cards. The attack was one of many at various places in the country following a call by the Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray not to celebrate "this shameless festival that is totally contrary to Indian culture." In Lucknow, a handful of activists of the Hindu Jagaran Manch forced gift shops selling Valentine's Day cards to shut down. In Kanpur, several shops selling Valentine's day cards were destroyed. It was in Mumbai that the Shiv Sena activists had a field day, destroying several heart shaped arches and gateways built for the occasion by shops and hotels across Mumbai. They also had a go at 'Madness,' a popular disco in suburban Mumbai and the Hallmark's outlet at the Crossroads mall. Police seemed to be looking the other way, though later made some token arrests. They don't want any major law-and-order trouble on the eve of the Indian Navy's first international fleet review beginning Thursday. In satellite townships of Kalyan, Dombivli and Thane several card shops closed their shutters, calling off their promotionals as a preventive measure.
HANOI, VIETNAM, February 16, 2001: Vietnamese authorities have sealed off two phony temples built to bilk Buddhist pilgrims out of offerings at one of the country's most popular religious sites, an official said Friday. The first two of 42 fake shrines at the Perfume Pagoda were sealed off Thursday, and local officials plan to close the others as well, said Nguyen Xuan Sinh, deputy chair of the People's Committee of Huong Son village, where the pagoda is located. The site has 31 temples and caves that are recognized as historical relics. The others were built by enterprising villagers in the mid-1990s to collect donations from unsuspecting pilgrims, Sinh said. He said three villagers were sentenced to probation for violating a historical site. "We faced fierce resistance from the owners of the fake temples, but we are determined to close the rest of them by the end of this month,'' Sinh said. Perfume Pagoda, 45 miles west of Hanoi, is one of Vietnam's most popular pilgrimage sites, drawing an average of 450,000 people during the three-month pilgrimage season that starts after the Lunar New Year.
KANPUR, INDIA, February 12, 2001: Attacking and raiding shops selling Valentine's Day gifts and cards, Hindu Jagaram Manch activists attempted to curb the Western celebration that has become popular among the youth in the last ten years.The District Magistrate in Kanpur has ordered Special Police pickets to be posted at hotels, markets and gift shops to deter the culprits. So far no arrests have been made.
KAITHAL, INDIA, February 12, 2001: Attempting to kindle a "reverence of all forms of life," the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals has started teaching 30 members in the local OSDAV school. On a larger scale the society intends to set up Karuna Clubs in other schools in the district where the philosophy of compassion for animals will be taught. The recipients of the classes promoted by the Society will be educated, "to raise their voice against killing animals," and to protect both animal and human rights.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 12, 2001: The Vajpayee government proposes to replace the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) with new legislation which will contain strict penalties to prevent anti-India and fundamentalist activities. Under the old FCRA, it is mandatory for all organizations receiving foreign funds to register with the home ministry and file returns on receipt and expenditure of foreign exchange. But there are no stiff penal clauses if any organization is found diverting money to build institutions that act as "fronts" for terrorist activities. The existing law has only a provision to cancel the organization's registration. The law scheduled to replace the 1976 Act will propose a maximum punishment of imprisonment as well as fines for such organizations. All organizations receiving foreign funds will have to register with district magistrates and submit details of the amount received and names of the donors. It has been suggested that associations operating in the border regions and religious organizations be registered anew with the home ministry. This is to keep better watch on religious organizations which receive thousands of dollars as foreign contributions which are often channelized for activities other than those the funds were actually meant for. Reports have noted the increase in mosques and madarsas (Muslim schools) in the border areas and pointed to the growing use of these by terrorist outfits.
NEW DELHI, February 15, 2001: Christian church authorities in India have launched a legal challenge to the country's massive population census, alleging it infringes on the religious freedom of lower-caste Christians. A statement of the All-India Christian Council said the census did not give members of the Scheduled Caste category, popularly called Dalits (oppressed, very low caste), the option of choosing from the Muslim, Christian, animist, indigenous, agnostic or "no-faith" categories. These Reuters report fails to explain the issue, which stems from the fact "reservations" in jobs and school slots are made for low caste and untouchable Hindus -- the Indian version of affirmative action. However, when Indian's constitution was drafted in 1947, Christians (and Muslims) were not allowed such reservations, on the basis that their faith did not recognize caste, so therefore no convert suffered the same disadvantages that they did when a Hindu. Of course, this is not the case, and the Christian churches are divided along the same caste lines as the Hindus. That is, a Dalit Hindu ends up a Dalit Christian, and a brahmin Hindu ends up a brahmin Christian, with separate churches and all. The Christians feel they will get more Dalit converts if they can get rid of this provision ending reservations for converts, apparently a more feasible solution to them than ridding their community of caste divisions.
NEW DELHI, INDIA: February 13, 2001: As part of its campaign to spread the message about the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement, the VHP has prepared a booklet entitled "Frequently Asked Questions on the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement." It is available at the above "Source."

The shooter of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin has reportedly used the power of the Internet to rally up over $200,000 in donations since making headlines over the controversial February slaying.
According to reports, George Zimmerman has already spent a quarter of the raised donations.
Zimmerman, the man who shot their son, raised $204,000 in just three weeks with a PayPal account posted to a website. He spent about $50,000 before his defense lawyer ever learned of the fund's swelling balance, his attorney, Mark O'Mara, acknowledged. O'Mara recently created a new fundraising site administered by a former IRS agent and registered with the Florida Division of Consumer Services. He told ABC News that he raised nearly $8,000 in the first few days the site was active. "I'm not going to be unrealistic to the fact that everyone is seeking donations in relation to this case, including the Trayvon Martin family," O'Mara said at a recent press conference. "It seems as though we have become in this criminal justice system a system where we can ask other people to help us. That's what we are doing." The fund now also includes the $150,000 balance transferred from the original PayPal account Zimmerman had set up. (Kansas City Star)
Details on some of Zimmerman's expenses have also been unveiled.
In a statement on his website, O'Mara said Zimmerman spent $7,000 on PayPal fees, $5,000 on bond, and $1,000 at the jail commissary and for phone cards. He also paid off existing debts and set up a secure living quarters while he awaits trial, the statement said, without offering dollar figures. "Roughly a third of the balance remains liquid and in Mr. Zimmerman's possession for living expenses for the next few months," O'Mara said. "So far, none of the funds have been applied to legal expenses." O'Mara did not return repeated messages seeking clarification. "George, I'll be donating monthly," Facebook user Annette Elaine Kelly of Ontario posted on the Facebook page O'Mara set up for the case. "I hope that you have been truthful (I believe you have) and that people will give you a fair hearing. Take care." (Kansas City Star)
Last month, Zimmerman was allowed to post bail after getting charged with Martin's murder.
George Zimmerman was released around midnight Sunday from a Florida county jail on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag. He walked out following another man and didn't look over at photographers gathered outside. He then followed the man into a white BMW vehicle and drove away. Moments before, two Seminole County sheriff's vehicles blocked access to the intake building parking lot where Zimmerman was being released. Zimmerman emerged after two public information officers confirmed the credentials of the photographers outside. (Fox News)
Following his release, hip-hop artists like Papoose voiced their displeasure and shocked reactions.
"That's some savage sh*t," Papoose told XXL in reaction of Zimmerman posting 10% of his $150,000 bail to become a free man until his trial next year. "The man could be free and Trayon is in his grave till eternity. Everybody celebrated when they arrested dude, but I think it was premature. This dude is an animal. The whole thing is bullsh*t." As angry as the Martin incident makes him, Papoose is proud that he and his peers in hip-hop at least spoke up about the situation. "All of us being successful…anybody who has a voice, it's our duty for us to provide a voice for those who don't have a platform," Papoose said. "I felt like it's my duty. I felt like I'd be playing myself if I didn't say something. I commend everybody." (XXL Mag)

Tour de Breakfast
Alternative commuters celebrate end of Bike/Walk to Work Week
Seacoast-area bicyclists work up an appetite for Friday's breakfasts, marking the conclusion of this year's Bike/Walk to Work Week in New Hampshire. (GRETYL MACALASTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
About 100 alternative commuters attended Grill 28's inaugural breakfast at Pease International Tradeport early in the morning before splitting off to their respective jobs for the day.
Josh Pierce, president of Seacoast Area Bicycle Routes, is happy to see Bike/Walk to Work Week participation growing, as it means more commuters are using their bikes instead of their vehicles to get to work, at least for one day each year. A national Bike to Work Week effort started about 50 years ago.
SABR started the state Bike to Work week event 11 years ago with the Rockingham Planning Commission and the Strafford Regional Planning Commission, and it has spread to other communities, including Manchester, Keene and Concord, through Commute Green New Hampshire. Commute Green encourages commuters to choose an alternative to driving alone at least one day a week, whether biking, walking, taking the bus or carpooling.
Easier commuting
Bike path improvements are coming with the opening of the new Memorial Bridge between Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth this summer. Bike paths will be improved with the widening of shoulders on Route 108 between Durham and Newfields and plans for a multi-use path project at Pease that Scott Bogle, senior planning director with Rockingham Planning Commission, said will help cyclists navigate the tricky entrance of the Tradeport from Route 33.
"In trying to promote biking to work, we are not suggesting somebody needs to be hard core about it and go out rain, snow, ice. We want people to give it a try," Bogle said. "By having the event, we give people a chance to give it a try, find out if they like it, have fun, exercise, save money and then maybe do it again."
Award ceremony
A celebration event was held Friday evening at the Portsmouth Brewery, and handmade trophies featuring various bicycle gears were presented to businesses of various sizes in the Corporate Commuter Challenge, for having the most employees participate in Bike/Walk to Work Week.
Bogle said he hopes not only that next year's event is an even bigger success, but that more people on a regular basis consider alternative commuting as they head into work in the coming summer days.

I talk to so many leaders who get so frustrated because they never seem to accomplish as much as they set out to do. Most of the time the reason is a fairly simple one.
They used the wrong approach to the work.
Many times as leaders we try to accomplish too many tasks in one day. We don't create a realistic checklist — just an overwhelming mass of things we "need" to do.
It makes us feel ineffective in all our tasks.
I call that the shotgun approach.
It's running from task to task to task to task. At the end of the day you've done a lot of things, but none of them very well.
And, all of us have some days like that. They're sometimes unavoidable.
But, here's my leadership suggestion. As much as possible — and doing otherwise should be the exception, not the rule…
Use the rifle approach.
The rifle approach is to carefully plan a realistic list of activities each day. It's having specific objectives, and ranking them from the most important to the least important.
Then it's as simple as checking off each item as you work through the list, accomplishing as many as you feasibly can per day.
And, you leave most everyday with a sense of accomplishment. (That's sounds good, doesn't it?)
You will be surprised how much more you can accomplish when you use the rifle approach to planning instead of the shotgun approach.
Sometimes we make leading harder than it has to be.

The gold that graces each product in MAC's new 14-piece Prabal Gurung collection doesn't just make the packaging gorgeous. It fashions a world! It creates an experience! These pieces look so fancy that they could pass for pendants hanging from a famous rapper's gold chains.
They could also probably pass for real gold bars.
No, seriously. These little bricks are heavy! — so heavy, in fact, that if I were to drop one on my foot, I'd probably need stitches.
Or, to put it another way, if I were to put all of them in a purse and swing it around, it would make one hell of a fine medieval weapon.
That the pieces could potentially double as weaponry is just one of many things I like about this new collaboration between MAC and fashion designer Prabal Gurung…who, I should say, was probably aiming more for elegance, sophistication and grace than hip-hop jewelry.

- Release Date: Jul 4, 2014
- Summary: In Marseilles' Old Port, Cesar (Daniel Auteuil) and his son Marius (Raphaël Personnaz) own La Marine Bar. Marius' biggest dream is to embark on one of the boats passing by his dad's bar and to set off to a faraway land. Fanny (Victoire Bélézy), a young and pretty seafood peddler, has secretly been in love with Marius since her childhood; Marius, never admitting it, has always loved Fanny. One day, a sailor drops by La Marine and offers him a job on an exploratory ship. Trying to hold him off and to make him jealous, Fanny confesses his love to him and provokes a fight between Marius and one of Cesar's old friends, Panisse, a boat merchant, who despite his old age, has been courting Fanny for a while. Torn between the call of the sea and his love for her, Marius abandons his dream to be with Fanny who gives herself to him. As Cesar and Honorine, Fanny's mother, are getting ready for the wedding, Marius changes his mind, drawn back to the call of the sea. Sacrificing her love, Fanny convinces Marius to embark on his journey, leaving her behind. Devastated but holding back her tears, she hides Marius' decision from his father. [Kino Lorber]… Expand

Despite what sounds, and sometimes plays out, like a working-class soap opera, Pagnol's genius is evident in the way emotions are often distilled through the characters' winsome Southern attitudes, creating an atmosphere infused with playful humor, innate wit and an endless flow of alcohol.
Jun 30, 2014The material is a French classic, and Auteuil directs as such: this is cosy, undemanding heritage cinema.
Jun 30, 2014Strong performances, warmth and light comedy abound, even if it is a bit stagey.
Daniel Auteuil's less exercising diligent homage than indulging troglodytic cinephilia.
Jul 8, 2014Auteuil doesn't distance himself enough from the era to allow room for critique. As a result, the old-fashioned attitudes on display are accepted with open arms rather than reckoned with.
It's not entirely clear what this faithful, slightly creaky new rendering, adapted and directed by the actor Daniel Auteuil, has to offer.

"Scream" to Become a TV Series on MTV
Posted: June 4th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Lots of popular movies are currently being turned into TV series, including "Silence of the Lambs" and "The Expendables." And now comes word that MTV is developing "Scream" for the small screen.
The new show will air weekly and will be based on the "Scream" franchise that has grossed $500 million globally. The network is currently searching for writers. It's unclear if Kevin Williamson or Wes Craven will be involved.
"Scream 4" hit theaters last year, but ended up grossing only $38 million domestically on a $48 million budget. Globally, the film took in $98 million, but apparently it wasn't enough to get a fifth installment. This is probably why the franchise will continue as a TV series.

If you're in your prime to get laid & you still watch MTV, you clearly have a serious problem...
on June 4th, 2012 at 7:21:50 AM
Ugh, it will probably air on CW, as well.
They tried to do a slasher tv-series, like two years ago, Harper's Island. It started out fine, but ended quite sh*ttingly. This will probably do the same.

Hmm, didn't read that it was supposed to be on MTV. Not that it helps.
on June 4th, 2012 at 7:31:43 AM
I don't know why it did so poorly, I actually kinda liked it, but they should just leave the franchise alone for a long while.

on June 4th, 2012 at 1:33:34 PM
MTV? LMAO. Didn't even know that lame channel still existed. And dumping Scream to television where it can die? No surprise. The entire series died years ago and the fourth film, the FINAL film, is all the evidence you need to know the series has nothing left to give which is why it's being recycled into MTV fodder for the five morons still watching.
on June 4th, 2012 at 2:21:16 PM
No one watches MTV and no one cares about the Scream films
Seems like a perfect partnership

What is really sad, Marcia, is that government needs to steal so much from the citizens, from wherever they can,, to support their spendaholic habits, in order to justify their own make believe jobs.

Greater levels of federal taxation have nothing to do with reducing debt or smaller deficits. Larger tax revenues encourages still greater government spending on bigger and more numerous government ratholes as well as still larger deficits.

For the record, the bill awaiting President Obama's signature today retains the current $5 million per person federal estate tax exemption plus an inflation adjuster. Legislators split the difference and voted to tax estates at 40% on any excess. Revenue from estate taxes barely dent the federal deficit, but have become a symbol for the "taxing the rich" movement so popular in DC. As farmers like to point out, however, they're only rich if they sell the farm!

And if sold, only rich untill the Obama grabbers get it into their clutches, which they will, one way or another.

Money that builds up Estates comes from Profitable Enterprise, which is already taxed when the profit is made. Growing Legacies, in the long run, creates more tax revenue at the point of profit, and as it can create more jobs, as well as sell more goods and services, the Tax Revenue Base expands in a more sustainable way. "Double-Dipping" now, will cost more in the future. Any one that deals with long term debt or investment knows this. Stop double-dipping. It may preclude gathering a few extra tax dollars now, but builds for a more sustainable future, for business, prosperity AND tax revenue. We talk "Sustainability"-it's time for Washington to walk the walk.

Marcia, based on the poll, more respondents fall in the "No Impact" and "Minor" categories than "Grave" and "Devastating". Of the "respondents" how many are farming the land, and how many are simply land owners renting out the land? I think many farmers are renting a large portion of their land, that's why they fall into the lower impact categories. I know of plenty of land in my area that is owned by investors, not farmers. The Estate Tax exemption protects these investors as well as all the absentee land owners out there that inherited land. Farmers will be the only ones to actually farm the land and they will make a profit whether they own the land or rent the land, the question is how to do we change the laws to put farmland ownership back into the hands of the people farming the land and out of the hands of people simply collecting rent checks?

Crop Insurance Got You Covered?
Like homeowners, farmers worry about replacement cost insurance to cover losses in the event of a weather disaster. For 2013, a typical Indiana corn farmer with 75% coverage either needs a $6.30/bu. spring guarantee or higher coverage levels to cover variable costs, land and equipment.

Just another government rathole - networth insurance for multimillionaires. And where does the constitution cover networth insurance for millionaires paid for by the taxpayers? Have you ever heard of crony capitalism Marcia?
Posted by Lon Truly at 11:59PM CST 12/26/12
Kind of like FEMA building new homes for multi-millionaires every few years in hurricane lanes on the coastlines,Lon?
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 6:33AM CST 12/27/12
Some who are wealthy enough deserve benefits worth millions everyyear (millions in insurance subsidies every year and millions in financial security blankets every year such as multimillion dollar investment/profit guarantees) . Others that are not very wealthy don't deserve much at all in benefits to compete with those who are more eligible for the best in government benefits. Certainly sounds like a bad case of crony capitalism to me.
Posted by Lon Truly at 8:04AM CST 12/27/12
Lon, I have hundreds of (less than 1500 acre) clients who are sure glad they had that "networth insurance" this year. Kept them farming another year... (Their words, not mine) I'm guessing you're A) not a farmer or B) had a bad experience with a bad agent? Not trying to be confrontational, just my observation sir.
Posted by Jarrod Bennett at 10:17AM CST 12/27/12
or, C) one of the farmers who is receiving subsidy money, but has elected to self insure, and will be losing dirct payments after the new farm bill is passed, and doesn't want to go to the work of getting his paperwork ready to get enrolled in the crop Insurance Industry. I am like you Jarrod, I do not know of anyone who after the last two years in western Kansas aren't glad that they had crop insurance to get them through, and help get more loans from bankers who require some sort of assurance that their investment will not be lost to mother nature.

And the Saga of the fiscal slope continues. Steer your sled, rather than depending on a parachute. It may not open. .

A major reason that margins in ag are tight is because of government not only assuming nearly all the production and marketing risks for many of the major ag crops, but also government guaranteeing a profit to many farmers with current prices and current government insurance schemes. Current farm bill proposals double down on these government risk assumption schemes with new and crazier shallow loss income guaranteeing schemes. When farmers have to budget for more of the production and marketing risks they are not as crazy about driving profitability margins below zero. If the purpose of fci is to keep small farmers in business why don't we target only them with the benefits? Interesting how farmers small and large are more than willing to spend government guarantees available to them.
Posted by Lon Truly at 12:32PM CST 12/27/12
Crop insurance is just one of the many tools the United States government uses to ensure the American populace is the recipient of a safe, stable, abundant supply of food and fiber. I don't think crop insurance was/is designed to "keep small farmers in business", it's to keep ALL farmers in business to achieve above said objective. Farmers large and small benefit (proportionately) the same from this program. The subisdy and premium rate is exactly the same for a 800 acre corn farm as that of a 250,000 acre corn farm; disputing this point only demonstrates ignorance on the issue. Here is the link, anyone can check it out for themselves to validate: http://webapp.rma.usda.gov/apps/ActuarialInformationBrowser2013/CropCriteria.aspx
Posted by Jarrod Bennett at 11:38AM CST 12/28/12
Government giving more to those who have more (greater crop investments & greater probability of larger incomes)steals from those with lessor incomes and assets a fair opportunity to compete in the highly competitive business of agriculture.

Posted by Lon Truly at 1:37PM CST 12/28/12
Congress needs to be prohibited from engaging in the selective agricultural investment and profit guaranteeing business. Their sorry record of targeting select farmers with highly discriminatory multimillion dollar investment/profit guaranteeing policies has destroyed countless rural communities by neutering the ability of smaller farmers to compete. To guarantee that the largest and obviously potentially most profitable business always will have a vastly superior incomes renders the smaller farmers incapable of competing in this highly competitive business. If congress is going to be involved in the safety net business all farmers are equally deserving of comparably valued safety nets.
Posted by Lon Truly at 6:31PM CST 12/29/12
Lon, in regards to crop insurance you're just wrong sir, factually incorrect. I don't know any other way to say it politely.
Posted by Jarrod Bennett at 7:18AM CST 01/02/13
Man don't be disrespectful to Marcia, be grateful she gives us a platform to discuss issues. Please follow my link and from the drop downs select corn, 2013, Revenue Protection, then your state and county. Then examine the two tabs, rates and subsidy factors. You will find by doing this that at 800ac and above, the subsidy and premium rate is exactly the same. Mega-farms receive the same insurance subsidy rate as 'average' size (above 800ac) farms do. It's just a fact. I can't demonstrate it any differently than by using an RMA actuarial document that we use to issue policies from...
Posted by Jarrod Bennett at 12:39PM CST 01/02/13
Get a clue Bennett. My point is about the total fair market value of the federal crop insurance benefit per farmer received (fair market value of investment/profit guarantees and subsidies received) not per acre insurance or subsidy rates.
Posted by Lon Truly at 10:18PM CST 01/02/13
Get a clue Lon, Everyone who reads these posts got your point a long time ago. Your obstinacy on a very narrow perspective is only becoming annoying and is very redundant. I also agree with Jarrod, leave Marcia and Chris alone. As no-one ever has all the answers, clean the wax from your ears and you may learn to refine your perspective.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 5:24AM CST 01/03/13
Bonnie - Sorry your attachment to the FCI sow has limited your ability to deal with reality. It appears to me that your attachment to FCI has produced a variation of the Stockholm Syndrome where you are actually acting to promote the very force FCI that is destroying small farms such as yours. Jarrod certainly has had a difficult time grasping the devastation FCI has produced in rural America. It also appears that his attachment to FCI is liimiting his ability to come to an unbiased view of FCI.
Posted by Lon Truly at 8:04AM CST 01/03/13
There you go again Lon, I could care less if government programs disappeared. However I am not possessed with my opinions nor have I closed my mind.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 8:53AM CST 01/03/13
Lon I will make it easy for you. I am a beginning rancher. 8 years ago I bought 640 acres of pasture in Kiowa County Kansas. I am not sure what state you are from, but I would guess one of the I states. In south western KS a typical stocking rate is 10-13 acres per cow calf pair for a 6 month grazing season, so as you can see I only have room for around 50 cows (without using leased pasture). I would not consider myself a big Farmer/Rancher by any means. I receive a little government money for rotational grazing, and some farmland base on my pasture. I work two other jobs to help pay for my "hobby" and am happy to do it because I was always taught that you get what you work for. I would have had a terrible time getting a loan to purchase my ground had it not been for the Beginning Farmer Loan available at FSA. I am all for the Insurance Subsidy, and think that the Direct payments are a waste of money(I will not go into the rest of the farm bill due to limited space). I do plan on owning more ground in the future, but believe that everyone should have the same skin in the game when it comes to subsidies. If you use the same subsidy rate per entity, it just means that if you insure more you get more subsidy because you are paying a total premium that is more. I hope to be a so called "big farmer" some day Lon and maybe you should aspire to be more instead of trying to drag everyone down with you.
Posted by Aaron Cross at 3:59PM CST 01/04/13
Aaron - try reading http://static.ewg.org/pdf/Crop_Insurance.pdf I don't suppose it has occurred to you that some of us who oppose congress mindlessly throwing billions in all directions are in fact large farmers who have decades of successful experience farming USDA programs as well as growing crops.
Posted by Lon Truly at 7:50PM CST 01/04/13
So Lon, what you are saying is that you are taking advantage of the system, and you don't want to be able to do that anymore? I think getting rid of direct payments was a start in the right direction. I know crop insurance is something that has returned a profit to the government in the past, and even thought the last two years the government has lost money, overall the government is ahead of the game.
Posted by Aaron Cross at 2:50PM CST 01/08/13
Aaron - check out http://www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/budget/fycost2003-12.pdf I don't think there has ever been a government program where the taxpayer comes out ahead. So if you are loosing money farming you are not taking advantage of the system and if your farm is profitable you are taking advantage of the system?

Apparently YMMV, with is too bad.
Supposedly, There is only one tech at my dealer who qualified/experienced enough to do the work (or so they tell me). I did talk to the tech who did the work and he did say the install was a bit of a pain, so I am wondering if people's issues are the result of a somewhat botched install.
In any event, I am happy with the choice and I made sure that my tech got a bottle of scotch for his patience and work (which, I might add, as purchased some good will going forward
That's interesting. Did you happen to ask or hear what was "a bit of a pain" to install from your tech?
Did you ask the tech if the install procedure has a TSB issued for it? It would be great to read it if it exists. I would expect that BMW will, should have, issued the TSB install procedure if it's that involved.
That way the people who have issues with their M Perf brakes can ask if their dealer has this information.
