Liquor Types
Before we introduce the different liquors, first a little about alcohol proof. In the US proof is exactly double the alcohol content. Therefore if the bottle is 80 proof, it contains 40% alcohol. The term originated during the 18th century in Britain when sailors would "proof" their rum rations by dousing gunpowder in them to see if it would ignite. They did this to make sure their rations had not been watered down.
Brandy is a spirit distilled from mashed fruit, often grapes. Known as "fire wine" it has been popular for hundreds of years. Brandy is aged in oak casks from which it derives its rich color. Normally 80 proof, brandy is a traditional after dinner drink and is used frequently in cooking.
Fine Brandy can cost a pretty penny. Cognac, one of the most popular forms of brandy gets its name from a region in France of the same name. Cognac is double distilled using pot stills, also used in the production of Whiskey.
Brandy is normally imbibed at room temperature or very slightly warmed. It is served in a snifter. Brandy is graded based on its age.
X.O. Extra Old, Napoleon or Vieille Reserve. X.O. is aged at least six years and Napoleon at least four. This is some of the best brandy you can purchase.
V.S.O.P Very Special Old Pale or 5-Star brandy is aged at least five years in wood.
V.S. Very Special or 3-Star brandy is aged at least three years in wood.
A.C. Brandy aged two years in wood.
Gin is a very dry spirit made from grain and flavored with juniper berries. The classic gin and tonic is a drink you'll come across daily when working as a bartender. Gin is also the base ingredient for the ever popular martini.
Gin is usually sold with a proof around 80 and is clear in color, although some varieties can have a yellowish color due to being aged in barrels. Gin is often very reasonably priced and is known as the "drinker's drink."
Rum, the favorite drink of Blackbeard himself! Both pirates and navy men used to drink grog, a potent mixture of rum, lime juice, and sugar water. The worst hangover I ever experienced was thanks to a bottle of rum. Merely writing about rum brings to my stomach a twinge of nausea.
Produced prominently in the Caribbean, rum is distilled from sugar and aged in oak barrels. Light rums are the most popular and are used in cocktails such as daiquiris. Dark rums are distilled through a slower process which allows them to develop a stronger, bolder character. Dark rum is normally sipped neat (straight up).
Tequila is made from the agave plant in Mexico and is normally around 80 proof. Being the main ingredient in Margaritas, Tequila is one of the most popular liquors in the world. As a bartender you'll soon become very familiar with the many types of tequila available.
Anejo is a form of tequila that is aged and sipped neat. Cheaper tequilas are fine for mixed drinks, but Anejo is preferred for shots as the aging takes some of the bite out of the liquor.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no worm at the bottom of a real tequila bottle. Worms are only found in some bottles of mescal, which started as a marketing ploy.
Vodka is a clear, tasteless and odorless liquor distilled from anything from grain, to potatoes, to molasses. Vodka is traditionally drunk neat in Europe, while in the US mixers are usually added to create various cocktails. Originally produced in Poland, Vodka is the most popular liquor in Russia.
Vodka is famous for its lack of flavor. It's neutral flavor allows it to be successfully mixed with a wide variety of mixers and typically does not leave a detectable smell of liquor upon one's breath. Vodka is must be at least 80 proof but not over 110 proof.
Whiskey is distilled from grain mash and aged in oak barrels. First distilled by monks in Ireland in 1405, nowadays whiskey has the image of belonging to the cowboys of the wild west. There are many different types of whiskey. I'll briefly review the most popular types.
Scotch whiskey is from Scotland and is normally distilled at least twice. It is aged in oak barrels for at least three years and is usually a blend of both malt and grain whiskies. Single malt whiskies are the most sought after of the Scotch whiskies.
Irish whiskey is distilled at least three times and is always aged in wooden barrels for at least three years, often much longer. Irish whiskey is distilled in single malt, single grain, and blended varieties.
American whiskey is comprised of three main categories. Bourbon whiskey which is at least 51% corn, Rye whiskey which must be at least 51% rye, and corn whiskey which must be at least 80% corn. American whiskey is aged in oak barrels which can be as brief as six months for corn whiskey.
Jack Daniels, one of America's most famous whiskies is distilled similar to bourbon, but is filtered through sugar maple charcoal which gives it the brilliant flavors and aromas that it's known for.

Hey, Bulls fans. Want to get even more mad at Carlos Boozer than you already are for him going 1-11 and being such a nothing on the court that he didn't play the final 16 minutes of a season-ending playoff game despite the fact he's the Bulls' highest-paid player?
If so, this should do it. From ESPN:
"I thought I played well, especially with the kind of season it was," Boozer said, when asked to asses his second season in Chicago. "We had the best record again in basketball, won our division again, had the top seed again, that's all that matters, yo."
This should go over pretty well, I'm guessing. I mean, I think all basketball fans agree that what matters the most is having the best record in the regular season, even if that means you lose in the playoffs while, again, sitting the final 16 minutes of the season's last game because you couldn't make a shot if your life depended on it. That is what REALLY matters. Not silly championships or showing up when your team needs you because they're missing their two best players.
Except, obviously, the exact opposite of that paragraph. This definitely won't go over well, and for a professional athlete, all that matters is winning a championship, even if you didn't finish with the best record in the league. Do you think Dirk Nowitzki cares that the Mavericks had a three seed last year? Nope.
Carlos Boozer had a solid season, seems to be a great teammate and even realized that painting his hair on wasn't a good idea, but Bulls fans hate him, especially when compared to ostensible replacement, Taj Gibson, who always plays hard, defends like crazy and is good for a huge, momentum-shifting dunk every couple of weeks. Outside of elbowing James Harden in the skull, casually mentioning that regular season success is "all that matters" in the wake of the a depressing playoffs loss might be the worst possible way to win back fans. For a player that everyone already despises, this isn't going to help, yo.

Another 100 Colorado Creatives: Rian Kerrane
#98: Rian KerraneRian Kerrane, "House Home Iron Performance," casting iron to ignite wood and corn houses at the Third Western Cast Iron Art Conference, Hayes, Kansas.
Galway girl Rian Kerrane came to Colorado in 2002 to teach sculpture at the University of Colorado Denver, but her installations in mixed media and cast iron have an international reach, from the galleries of RedLine and Edge to others in her home country of Ireland. Perfectly comfortable in heavy leathers, helmet and a protective mask, Kerrane has also brought the iron-pour experience to the metro area through CU Denver -- the transformative spectacle of fire and molten metal yielding art. And Kerrane's finished work, stark with human symbology, is like a visceral glint made by the magic of metal-casting. Read on for her answers to the 100CC questionnaire.

Deirdre O'Mahony, an Irish who recently participated in Hybrid, at RedLine. Her research while in Colorado involved meeting with local ranchers. Her role as an artist is to facilitate communication, and in doing so her art practice becomes social practice. Deirdre is based in County Clare, Ireland, and her art draws attention to farming practices, environmental issues, the landscape, etc. Her works amazes me with powerful results and its reflection and activism on current issues. I love to witness the power of art making.

Teachers strike set in Evergreen Park SD 124
BY HANNAH KOHUT AND STEVE METSCH smetsch@southtownstar October 1, 2012 2:42PM
Article Extras
Updated: November 3, 2012 6:13AM
Some 1,800 students in Evergreen Park School District 124 won't be in class Tuesday after negotiators were unable to reach a deal on a new teachers contract during 11th-hour negotiations Monday night.
Union officials emerged from behind closed doors at Central Junior High School around 10:35 p.m. after more than five hours of negotiations to announce that teachers and staff members would go ahead with their plans to walk off the job starting Tuesday morning.
Dave Comerford, spokesman for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, called the union's decision to strike "gut-wrenching." But he said they were spurred to take action after board negotiators said students in the district would not be allowed to make up any days lost to a teachers strike.
"We find it unconscionable that a board of education would not want students to be in a classroom every day possible," Comerford said. "That has been the attitude of these bargaining sessions for months now. This is about a lack of respect," he said.
"No teacher wants to do this, ... (but) this is all about punishing teachers and they won't stand for it."
Supt. Robert Machak did not return several calls seeking comment late Monday.
The two sides have been trying to hammer out a new deal since April. Two marathon sessions were held last week.
No new negotiations sessions have been set.
As Monday night's session kicked off, more than 200 teachers and parents gave the union negotiating team a rousing cheer as they entered the talks. The group gathered on 95th Street and Sawyer Avenue chanting slogans and cheering whenever a passing motorist honked the horn.
Ray Richter, a parent of six children — all in district schools — was there with his wife and all six kids to support the teachers.
"With the money the school district has, they can afford to give the teachers a little," Richter said.
Union members held signs reading "Quit stockpiling taxpayers' money," "We support our teachers" and "Honk for teachers."
Tony Demma, a teacher at Southeast School and a member of the negotiating team, told the group, "The negotiating team will fight hard for a fair contract. You will never get what you deserve, only what you fight for."
Even a student spoke to the crowd by megaphone. Cienna Valdez, 12, a seventh-grader at Central, said the teachers deserve more money because they are "the foundation of District 124," to which the teachers all cheered.
Joey Santor, a physical education teacher at Southeast School, seemed grateful for the support.
"We're not money-hungry. We're just trying to maintain what we have," he said. "I did not get into teaching thinking that I would drive a Lamborghini.
"Knowing they have a stockpile of $16 million is like a slap in the face," he said, referring to the amount the district has in reserves.
Machak, though, has said all of that money (and more) is earmarked for physical improvements in the district.
Comerford earlier had vowed the talks would go late into the night if needed to settle the contract standoff, saying parents would have been satisfied to learn at the last minute that a settlement had been reached if it meant avoiding a strike.
But after talks broke off, he said the attitude of the board's negotiators made continuing to talk pointless.
"There's plenty of funding in there for other projects. We think a small portion of that money needs to go to the ones who teach kids. They're asking for a minimal amount of that $16 million budget," he said.
"This is about threatening these people. It's not about the best financial interest for the district, or for the kids. That certainly wasn't shown tonight. That's why we're on strike."
Earlier Monday, at Southeast School, five parents all expected teachers to strike.
"I'm nervous about it. I'm on pins and needles," Meghan Sebek said. "I'll watch the Bears (Monday night), but this will be in the back of my mind. I wish they would get it resolved."
Sebek supports the teachers because "to stay competitive, we need to pay them," she said.
Sebek, who has a son in second grade, was "annoyed" that no negotiations took place over the weekend.
"I think that was absolutely ridiculous. I'm surprised they are meeting (Monday night) with the Bears on TV," she said.
Amy Goggin, a mother of three who attend Southeast School, said her children previously attended nearby St. John Fisher Catholic School.
"I have to laugh. This is our first year in the public school system, and the teachers will be on strike. Welcome to the public schools," she said.
Chris Quanstrum, who said a strike would not be a problem because he's off all week, voiced support for the possible strike.
"Teachers should get paid what they're worth. I think the elementary teachers are underpaid," he said, adding he was disappointed the dispute wasn't settled over the summer.
Ronald Spain, a member of Laborers Union Local 288, was even more adamant in his support.
"The teachers must go on strike to get what they want," he said. "You're damn right I support the teachers 100 percent. They do a good job teaching the children."
Union members had said they would be walking picket lines outside of each of the five schools in the district by 8:15 a.m. Tuesday, Comerford said.
The strike will now leave many district families scrambling to find day care for their children. The Beverly Arts Center was among organizations offering to care for children during the strike, and the district had posted care options and lesson plans for each grade level on its website, www.d124.org/index_accesswork.html.

My neighbors just took down their 4 yr. old trampoline and were going to put the pipes, springs, netting, trampoline jumping cloth(for lack of a better term) in the trash to go to the landfill!!! Of course, me being the freecycler of the neighborhood, I could NOT let that happen.
Any ideas????? All suggestions welcomed. OH, and fyi...I'm too OLD for a trampoline myself! I've also posted this on the Garden Junk forum. Let's see your ideas. I just CAN'T let this go into the landfill.

I've seen nice chicken tractors made of old trampolines. That means the chickens are grass fed. You move them all over the pasture and they fertilize the pasture and keep it mowed. |

I use the mat as a weed barrier for my newly rooted outside cuttings. And last winter used 3 of the metal supports that are shaped like a U on each end, with one in the middle of a small raised bed to support plastic for tenting over new seedlings. I had to use some short pieces of rebar hammered into the ground to help hold it up and worked great. With the metal U's hollow they just slide right over the rebar. trudyjean |
could you make a compost bin out of it? |

you could also use it for stuff like to let morning glories and such to grow up them, and if you square foot garden, well that would be just awesome!! maybe some kinda arbor? that's what i'd do!! :')) |

Make a greenhouse! |
My neighbor says he is trashing their trampoline too. I told him to let me save the pipes that are used for the netting (to keep kids from falling out) and we can use them for the tomato plants I am planting out for him along his side of my fence. I intend to hang some rope down and we'll train his tomato plants up the ropes. These pipes should stick up 7 feet or so once we hammer them into the ground. |
- Posted by simplegreenguy none (My Page) on Thu, Jul 28, 11 at 8:11
You can cut the pipes in different lengths and make wind chimes. |
My husband took a piece of pipe about the size of the trampoline pipes and pounded in the ground to support the clematis trellis. He wired the trellis to the metal pipe. It helps to hold it secure because the weight of the clematis vine when it is in full bloom is very heavy. Saw that tip in GardenGate magazine one time. |

Evergreen Society
You can learn more about the Evergreen Society at www.americanforests.org/evergreensociety.
With profound appreciation, but heavy hearts, we thank Brian A. Kopf for his years of devotion to healthy landscapes and charitable giving, which included donations to nonprofits from his estate. Last May, at age 56, Brian passed away while experiencing life to its fullest, doing what he loves best: enjoying the great outdoors in Canyonlands National Park. Ever the avid hiker and wilderness supporter, Brian had also become a voracious fly-fisherman over the years and had recently been named as Volunteer of the Year by charitable organization St. Vincent de Paul for his outstanding, selfless efforts in helping those less fortunate. Brian's recent generous gift to American Forests serves as a touching example of the positive impact planned giving can have on our environment.

This section provides that:
"This chapter shall apply to any county or municipal corporation, or any political subdivision of the state of Washington except as otherwise provided by RCW 47.64.030, 47.64.040, 54.04.170, 54.04.180, 28.72.010 through 28.72.090, and chapter 53.18 RCW."
RCW 41.56.100, codifying § 10 of this 1967 act, expressly authorizes any such public body, acting through any officer, board, commission, council, or other person1/ to,
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
". . . engage in collective bargaining with the exclusive bargaining representative . . ."
of a bargaining unit comprised of employees of such public body. In accordance with the rules pertaining to the "implied powers" of municipalities,2/ it therefore clearly follows, in our opinion, that any of the public bodies to which chapter 41.56 RCW is applicable may be said to have the authority to employ such personnel as are reasonably necessary in order to allow the public body to engage in collective bargaining as provided for in this statute.
With respect to the joint exercise of this power by two or more public bodies to which chapter 41.56 RCW is applicable, see chapter 39.34 RCW ‑ the interlocal cooperation act (chapter 239, Laws of 1967). Under the provisions of RCW 39.34.030, it is expressly provided that:
"(1) Any power or powers, privileges or authority exercised or capable of exercise by a public agency of this state may be exercised and enjoyed jointly with any other public agency of this state having the power or powers, privilege or authority, . . ."
The key term for purposes of this chapter is the term "public agency," which is defined in RCW 39.34.020 as follows:
"For the purposes of this chapter, the term 'public agency' shall mean any city, town, county, public utility district, port district, fire protection district, school district, or metropolitan municipal corporation of this state; any agency of the state government or of the United States; and any political subdivision of another state."
For a recent illustration of the utility of this chapter with regard to employment of a certain individual by one public agency, with the services of such individual being made available to other public agencies having the similar authority pursuant to an interlocal governmental agreement, see our recent opinion dated March 11, 1970, [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] to the director of the Washington Public Employees' Retirement System, copy enclosed.
We trust that the foregoing information and material will be of some assistance to you in understanding the degree of existing legal authority which those public bodies which are covered by chapter 41.56 RCW may be said to have to combine in employing on their behalf a professional negotiator on public employee collective bargaining matters.
Very truly yours,
Philip H. Austin
Assistant Attorney General
1/See the definition of "public employer" in RCW 41.56.030 (1).
2/Implied powers are such as are necessary to carry into effect those which are expressly granted, and which must, therefore, be presumed to have been within the intention of the legislative grant. See, AGO 63-64 No. 121 [[to State Finance Committee on February 21, 1963]], copy enclosed, and authorities cited therein.

Thanks for the review Nick,
I'm not sure if you can post links here, but this is a zoetrope in case you're still curious:youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=-3yarT_h2ws just change the 'DOT' to a '.'
The most famous animation on a zoetrope (or at least the one which stuck most in my mind) is one featuring grotesquely rascist cartoon cannibals exchanging heads. Francis Ford Coppola called his company, "Zoetrope"
You're right about needing a good edit and there are some real stinkers, butit's impossible to change docs on this ìsite without losing reviews or creating a "v02"
"Barbara and me" though is something I would keep. In spoken the British English of the working and middle-classes I never hear anyone say, "Barbara and I" except the Queen. I know "Barbara and I" is good grammar but it didn't work for me in the first-person.

I've ordered some cilantro seeds for the fall, and I was wondering when I can start sowing them. Right now, our average high temps are in the upper 80s. Do I need to wait for them to drop to a specific value before I can sow the cilantro successfully? I don't want it to fall over, or start bolting. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
early Spring and fall. You can plant it now. By the time they have germinated and grown a bit, it should cool off in z8, GA. But have to keep it moist and maybe mulch with dry leaves ? until you see them germinating. Then removes the mulch. Try a partly shaded area, instead of FULL sun. |
OK, thanks for your help, seysonn. |

Why create a fragrance that meeting both Natural Product Association (NPA) and Design for the Environment (DfE) safety criteria? Answer: Consumers are demanding it. Though they may not ask for NPA and DfE certification specifically, a large and growing number of consumers who purchase cleaning and body care products want assurances that they products the are purchasing are safe, green, and environmentally friendly. Right, wrong or indifferent, many consumers do not want to see the term "fragrance" on labels.

Once abundant, blackbuck antelope are very rare outside game preserves in India. Hunting for meat and trophies as well as habitat destruction has severely reduced the numbers of wild blackbuck.
One of the few antelope which exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism, males and females are readily distinguishable. Only males have ridged, spiral horns which can grow up to 29 inches or more. All young are born tan but males gradually darken to deep brown or black with age. Females remain a light tan with white markings and bellies. Dominant males command a territory of 3-40 acres that includes a harem of females and young. BlackBuck at Fossil Rim can be seen running wayward females back to the harem and keeping other males away. During breeding season males defend these areas tirelessly in order to keep the largest group of females within it for the longest period of time. This is primarily achieved with posturing and threatening gestures but fighting with the sharp horns does occur. When alarmed, blackbuck can leap straight up into the air.

Oak Lawn woman charged with killing infant granddaughter
By Steve Metsch firstname.lastname@example.com October 7, 2013 5:10PM
Article Extras
Updated: November 9, 2013 6:17AM
The brutal murder of an infant on Sunday morning, the first murder in three years in Oak Lawn, has shocked many in the village, even those who have been in law enforcement for decades.
Six-month-old Vivian Summers was beaten with a sledgehammer by her grandmother, who also slit the baby's throat with a knife while watching her at the woman's home, authorities said.
Alfreda Giedrojc, 61, of 6605 W. 91st St., is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail at Cook County Jail.
The baby's father, Joe Summers, of Bolingbrook, brought her to her grandparents' house so Giedrojc could watch her while he helped his brother-in-law with a repair project at his house across the street from where Giedrojc and her husband lived, Assistant State's Attorney Michael Deno said at a bond hearing Monday at the county courthouse in Bridgeview.
Deno said Giedrojc's husband, Boleslaw, soon went across to his son's home to check on the project, leaving her alone with the baby. Giedrojc took the sleeping infant off a couch, placed her on the floor and got a sledgehammer that she had placed in a closet the night before, he said.
Gierojc repeatedly struck the baby with the sledgehammer, and because the baby "was still crying and moving, the defendant then went to the kitchen and retrieved a large carving knife," using it to slit the infant's throat, according to the prosecutor.
Deno told the judge that Giedrojc had admitted to the murder in a videotaped statement. He and police did not speculate about her motive but did say she does not have any prior arrests.
Assistant Public Defender Tom Stovall told the judge that Giedrojc, who turns 62 Wednesday, came to America from her native Poland in 1983 and has an eighth-grade education. She and her husband, who is retired, raised four children and have lived in Oak Lawn for 20 years, he said.
Because the victim is under age 12 and due to the heinous nature of the crime, Deno urged Circuit Court Judge Kerry Kennedy to deny bail for Giedrojc, and Kennedy agreed. Giedrojc's next court hearing is set for Oct. 28 in Bridgeview.
Oak Lawn Police Chief Michael Murray said police got a 911 call from Giedrojc's house at 10:46 a.m. Sunday. He said Boleslaw Giedrojc returned home from their son's house, saw what happened and called police.
Murray is hard-pressed to recall seeing another crime quite like this one during his 26-year career.
"I have never seen anything like this. It's a tragedy," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. This is going to be a very difficult time for everyone, including our officers and the people who responded to the scene."
Caren and Ed Hennessy and their daughter, Carrie Lynn, live next door to the Giedrojcs.
"They watched the grandkids pretty often," Caren said, adding that she thought they had three or four grandchildren but wasn't sure.
When the weather was nice, it was mainly Boleslaw who would be outside with the grandchildren, and he built a gate along the driveway so they wouldn't dash out onto busy 91st Street, she said.
The couple were not well versed in English, but Boleslaw always was friendly with his neighbors, Carrie Hennessy said.
"Every single time you see him, it's, 'Hi, how are you,'" she said.
Caren said Alfreda "was friendly and everything, but we hadn't seen too much of her lately."
She said she and her husband often baby-sit their six grandchildren and know that for parents "you feel more comfortable" having your parents watch your kids.
Caren said the family was stunned to learn of the baby's death.
"It's tragic. Something like this just wants to make you hug them tighter," she said of her grandchildren.
She said four of them were at her house on Sunday, curious about all the police and the yellow crime-scene tape that partly cut off their yard.
"They (grandkids) want to know what's going on," Caren said. "This sort of thing is a little harder to explain. ...
"Someone who can do that to a child isn't in their right mind. They've lost two members of their family — a granddaughter and his (Boleslaw's) wife."
In Bolingbrook, some neighbors said Monday that they were not close to Joe or Amy Summers but described the couple as polite and friendly. One woman said Amy had been "very excited" at becoming a mother and believed that Amy's mother had visited their house to help out shortly after the birth.

TUCSON- The government shutdown is hitting close to home for one Tucson Family.
They say Gilberto Nunez-Pelayo, 29, is falling through the court system's cracks.
Nunez-Pelayo was released last Thursday from state prison, after serving four years for drug and domestic violence charges. His family admits he has made his mistakes, but he served his time and now he should be free.
The only problem is Nunez-Pelayo isn't a United States Citizen. As is custom, after his release he was taken into ICE custody to await a hearing that will determine whether he can return to Mexico, or stay in Tucson, where he has lived with his family since age three.
Nunez-Pelayo had a immigration hearing scheduled for October 2 in Tucson, but because of the shutdown nobody showed up to court.
That means despite being a free man, Nunez-Pelayo is now in custody indefinitely, waiting for his court date. "The government needs to make up its mind," Sister Priscilla Del Toro says. "It's not our fault. My brother has to be in Mexico or stay here."
"How would you react if that was your sibling? How would you react if that was your loved one?" Demitri Downing says.
Downing is Nunez-Pelayo's lawyer, working pro bono.
For the past few days he has been trying to find out when Nunez-Pelayo can head to court. The problem is that anytime he calls a DHS spokesperson he receives a voicemail which says: "I will be out of the office starting October 1, 2013 due to the federal government hiatus."
"No hearing, no trial, no phone calls," Downing says. "It kind of left Gilberto in no man's land."
"We have to know something about what is going to happen," Del Toro says. "The sooner, the better."
Tucson's immigration court is one of 16 nationwide closed because of the shutdown. There are two immigration courts still open in Arizona, including the one in Eloy and Florence.
Downing says he's trying to get his client's case moved to the Eloy court, however he is being directed by the court to call DHS, which gets him nowhere.

DOMA 101: An Introduction to Same-Sex Marriage, The Defense of Marriage Act, and the Full Faith and Credit Clause
By Chris Gacek Senior Fellow for Regulatory PolicyIn the mid-1990s, it appeared that Hawaii would become the first state to enact same-sex marriage. This seemed likely after the state's highest court indicated in May 1993 that limiting marriage to male-female couples was probably unconstitutional under Hawaiian law. This led to concern that if one state legalized same-sex "marriage," other states would also be required to recognize those "marriages" under the U.S. Constitution's "Full Faith and Credit" clause.
"Full Faith and Credit"
In 1787 when representatives of the States assembled in Philadelphia to draft a replacement for the Articles of Confederation, relations among the States were not ideal. One problem lay in the perception that citizens of one state who pursued legal action in another would not be treated fairly. In particular, there was concern that judicial decisions and judgments rendered in one state would not be honored by courts and officials in other states.
To help rectify this problem, the ratified Constitution contained a provision, known as the "Full Faith and Credit Clause" (Article IV, sec. 1), which states as follows:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.[1]
During the ratification debates, James Madison discussed this provision of the Constitution in an essay addressed "To the People of the State of New York " (Federalist 42). He noted that the new provision constituted "an evident and valuable improvement on the clause relating to this subject" over its treatment in the Articles. Madison observed that the Articles' clause was "extremely indeterminate" and could only "be of little importance under any interpretation which it will bear."
In 1790 the Congress acted pursuant to the enhanced powers granted by the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause by passing legislation stating that "the records and judicial proceedings, authenticated as aforesaid, shall have such faith and credit given to them in every Court within the United States, as they have by law or usage in the Courts of the state from whence the said records are or shall be taken." This law is often referred to as the "Full Faith and Credit Statute."[2]
The Defense of Marriage Act
Eventually, Hawaii 's traditional definition of marriage was saved in November 1998 when a state constitutional amendment was approved by referendum. The amendment stated, "The legislature shall have the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples."[3] However, before the passage of the Hawaiian amendment, the U.S. Congress enacted and President Bill Clinton signed the "Defense of Marriage Act" ("DOMA").[4] The Defense of Marriage Act was intended to help defend traditional marriage from efforts to redefine it-like the one in Hawaii . The Defense of Marriage Act worked toward that goal by including sections that: 1) defined marriage traditionally in federal law; and, 2) enabled states-even in the face of claims made pursuant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause-to decline to recognize same-sex marriages from other states.
DOMA's Provisions
The Defense of Marriage Act defines marriage in federal law as follows:
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word "marriage" means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word "spouse" refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.[5]
The Defense of Marriage Act also affirms the power of each state to make its own decision as to whether it will accept or reject same-sex marriages created in other jurisdictions. It was enacted pursuant to the power granted to Congress in the second sentence of Article IV, Section 1. The Full Faith and Credit Statute was amended to include this provision:
No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.[6]
State Action and DOMA
Even though Massachusetts (2003) and California (2008) courts have mandated same-sex marriage in those two states there is a strong national movement to protect traditional marriage. A total of 44 states have instituted protections for traditional marriage either through state constitutional amendments or by statutes. Twenty-six states have enacted constitutional amendments restricting marriage to one man and one woman, and eighteen states have done so by statutory change only without constitutional amendment.[7]
In November 2008 California and Florida voters will have the opportunity to pass state constitutional amendments that will define marriage as existing only between one man and one woman.

hey friends!
Are you using any herb for skin? i am looking for some herbs for flawless skin. Do you know any such herb? which one is that and for what purpose are you using that? |

I think "flawless" skin is unattainable. I think healthy living including eating good foods/balanced diet, enough sleep, drinking enough water, laying off all the facial make-up, not too much sun, and so on will probably do more than any herb or pill you could take. FataMorgana |
Absolutely what Fatamorgana said. You just have to look after what nature dealt you. That said I do find a cream with calendula is good if you've got a sun or windburned face. Doesn't make you flawless, just less sore! |

There was no way a Pope was going to magically be elected that was pro gay marriage and pro contraception and pro abortion and pro all those other things. Just wasn't going to happen. BUT, he is very passionate about the poor and has dedicated his life to trying to benefit the poor. Seriously, what good cause are any of us passionate about that we've worked a fraction as hard for as this guy has worked for the poor? AND he's totally cool with admonishing the church when they try to regulate peoples' worship or exploit their followers instead of providing a place of spiritual nourishment. Basically, it could have been worse, and it seems like they actually made a pretty good choice. Also, and I say this as someone who is a very strong supporter of gay marriage, but NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE CENTERED AROUND GAY MARRIAGE, especially when focusing on a subject like the urban or third world poor. I guess I'll say that I'm hopeful and you can bite me.
Was I the only one surprised that his laptop wasn't a Mac?
Can we set aside for a moment the delusion that we really care about 6 million starving babies and poor people for a while? I mean, really we don't so let's not act like it. 6 million is a lot. And if we cared we wouldn't be wasting our time on here, we'd be busy making them frittatas or something, I don't know, I haven't thought hard enough about it to think about what I'd do about it and neither have you because we really don't care. Can't it be enough that we care for those around us and take care of them and look out for them well enough? And can't it be enough that we care about them enough and like them enough to be able forward them a video of a turtle with a prosthetic leg without having to feel guilty about people we've never met? Because it should be.
And also, why is it my fault that Roger Ebert decided to live an obviously unhealthy life that leads to things like cancers, surgeries and the eventual loss of your jaw in later years? I didn't cause it, I'm just pointing it out. You know, kinda like he did with Ryan Dunn and his life decisions.
filmdrunkard who follows morning links here occasionally
drunk on
That's the other situation, facetaco. I'll fully concede I'm the dickhead in the situation of the grumpy commenter who doesn't matter on an obscure site that doesn't matter versus the obscure site that doesn't matter case. But not in the celebrity with hundreds of thousands of followers who made dickhead comments about someone who died knowing full well they'd get back to the mourners but did it anyway and then tried to backpedal on those comments because he doesn't understand how social media and celebrity works case.
Listen, I think we can all agree that the dickhead in this situation is Ebert (the situation between Ebert and the vulnerable and hurt mourners of Ryan Dunn, not the situation between Gabe and my user account), who is definitely not the best. Again, nobody wanted to find out what Roger Ebert had to say about this, nobody cared. He stuck his comments out there and he hurt some mourners because he didn't take the time to remember that people mourning a friend (no matter how they were lost) deserve to remember their friend in peace without people plastering their opinion (wrong or right) all over the place in a way that could hurt them.
Long story short, today Roger Ebert has more in common with the Westboro Baptist Church than he probably he expected he ever would and for that I offer him a nice big "fuck you, asshole".
Yeah, I agree. Roger Ebert is about as good at backpedaling as he is at having a bottom half of his fucking face.
I don't wish Roger Ebert was dead, I was just saying it's time for him to die. Big difference. Don't confuse the issue.
He's not dead, so it's not EVEN MORE inappropriate. Now if I made a twitter comment after he died saying "glad someone finally took his feeding tube out and took him out to pasture" where his wife could see it (or maybe "friends don't let fat, old assholes get face-cancer"), then THAT would be even more inappropriate. See, because he'd be dead (like Ryan Dunn is now) and I'd be making an unfunny joke (just like Ebert did) about it.
And even if he was or was not dead, what difference does it make? I can show you a hundred posts on here (either by Gabe or by commenters) that say "well, people die every day and so how is this guy dying any more tragic?" Well, people die every day, and it's not really all that tragic according this website, so how is making jokes (unfunny ones, even) all that insensitive? Either death is tragic and we should be sad every time someone dies, or STFU when you say it isn't but get offended when someone jokes that they wish someone else would die.
I like the guy, but he's turned into a bit of a troll lately. everyone knows what Dunn did was stupid and they don't need Ebert to point that out or make smartass comments while his friends are still grieving. I'm not saying i disagree with him, just that he needs to stfu. "Oh why thank you Roger Ebert for pointing out that drinking and driving is dangerous! The fact that our friend did that (still officially unconfirmed, btw) and it cost him his life wasn't enough of a hard lesson, so you pointing it out on Twitter and being a dickhead was exactly what we needed at this time."
Someone remove Ebert's feeding tube please, it's time for him to be taken out to pasture
So is posting images just something you have to figure out by trial and error or by secret handshake or what?
Fake Usher knows better than to hang out in rough neighborhoods when he could be following junior high girls around in his Chevy Cobalt.
So these girls are like the real life Rachel Berry or something?
I should really download his blog. #conspiracytheoryjokesfromforeverago
The guy on the right looks like Colin Firth's younger, dumber brother.
Never before has there been a greater gathering of unfunny in recorded history.
Yeah, it's fine to bring up the Nazis from 80 years ago, referencing a fun movie from 30 years ago is dumb because apparently Gabe has an ingrown pube today and is really grumpy.
I'd also like to point out that in most things the Nazi war machine doesn't matter to any of us if we're being honest, because it was almost 100 years ago (take a minute to realize how little I'm exaggerating that).
Sweet friggin' Christ, don't act like you even kinda care about the Nazi war machine in WWII or that you kinda still think it matters. Let's be honest, it doesn't really matter to you (not even kinda), so just stop it. Jesus, who are you? Glenn Beck? You're better than that, Gabe.
3.5 or 4th Ed.?
You mean you were worried about whether it would hit your friends, too? That thought never crossed our mage's mind. God, I'm a nerd.

Oct 14th 2008 7:46AM With Warth's 2 entry zones, I'm trying to decide where each of my characters should start. Now I understand that it is a matter of personal preference, but is there a "preferred" zone for RP/lore reason for each race?
To illustrate what I mean, my undead mage will go to Howling Fjord to serve the Dark Lady at the forsaken camp. Likewise, my Orc hunter will go to Borean Tundra to join my Warsong brothers and to answer the call of Grommash Hellscream.
These are the obvious ones, but are there similar RP-driven choices for other races? I play predominantly horde so I'm particularly interested in Blood Elves and Taurens.

PROVIDENCE — A Pawtucket lawyer who is representing homeowners challenging their foreclosures in 705 of the 831 cases in Rhode Island's federal court has been fined $10,000 by U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr.
Attorney George Babcock was ordered to pay four $2,500 fines for signing and submitting to the court papers that contain "false factual contentions," according to the order, which was signed by McConnell on Tuesday.
In each of the four cases, Babcock asserted that documents had been submitted when they had not, the order said. The order includes an additional $9,150 in fines for nine of Babcock's clients for delays in meeting deadlines for filing paperwork or responding to requests for information.
Babcock said he would appeal the fine, which he considers a violation of his due-process rights. He said the order was based on the assertions of Special Master Merrill Sherman, who was appointed by McConnell to manage the foreclosure cases and help the homeowners and lenders reach settlements.
"Certainly, I should have had the right to question my accusers," Babcock said. But "nothing surprises me," he added. "The 'haves' have no clue."
Babcock said the mediation program has been a "failure" and he is being used as a "scapegoat."
McConnell still has not announced how he will alter the mediation process to comply with an appeals-court decision that his August 2011 order halting foreclosures and/or evictions in the cases violated court rules.
In June, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that McConnell's 2011 order was effectively an injunction and said that he must belatedly comply with court rules that require parties to show probable success of prevailing in a case as a condition of providing injunctive relief.
"This Court set up a mediation program because of the large number of similar cases filed in this district (though the Court readily admits it did not anticipate the extent of the filings that were to come), because of the magnitude of harm caused to homeowners, and because of the financial burdens on the mortgage holders that held unproductive mortgages," McConnell's Aug. 13 order added. "The Court believed, and continues to believe, that mediation of these cases is in the best interest of all parties."

8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshe'beth a Tah-che'monite; he was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he slew at one time. | 8 These are the names of David's mighty men: Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, was chief of the Three; he raised his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter. |
9 And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea'zar the son of Dodo, son of Aho'hi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew. | 9 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered [at Pas Dammim] for battle. Then the men of Israel retreated, |
10 He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand cleaved to the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the men returned after him only to strip the slain. | 10 but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead. |
11 And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the Har'arite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the men fled from the Philistines. | 11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel's troops fled from them. |
12 But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory. | 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory. |
13 And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came about harvest time to David at the cave of Adullam, when a band of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Reph'aim. | 13 During harvest time, three of the thirty chief men came down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. |
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem | 14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. |
15 And David said longingly, "O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!" | 15 David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!" |
16 Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD, | 16 So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the LORD. |
17 and said, "Far be it from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men. | 17 "Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this!" he said. "Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives?" And David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men. |
18 Now Abi'shai, the brother of Jo'ab, the son of Zeru'iah, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three. | 18 Abishai the brother of Joab son of Zeruiah was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. |
19 He was the most renowned of the thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three | 19 Was he not held in greater honor than the Three? He became their commander, even though he was not included among them |
20 And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. | 20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, who performed great exploits. He struck down two of Moab's best men. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. |
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but Benai'ah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear | 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear |
22 These things did Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and won a name beside the three mighty men. | 22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty men. |
23 He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard. | 23 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard. |
