The government is about to embark on an under-whelming plan to fingerprint and photograph up to 100,000 foreigners who visit this country. Presumably, many of those who are picked for the extra scrutiny will be from the Middle East or nations such as Egypt and Sudan - places where known Muslim terrorists have been trained or harbored.
Gives 3 reasons to back Barrett
There are three reasons why I support Gresham Barrett for South Carolina's U.S. House seat. First, Mr. Barrett is pro-family and pro-traditional values. His pro-life record in the South Carolina House of Representatives is outstanding, as are his courageous stands for the Second Amendment, tax relief, school prayer, Southern heritage and educational reform.
Shirley Schilling, Belvedere, S.C.
Sodomy, 101
There's a difference between a society that ignores what adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms and a society that actively promotes homosexual lifestyles to young students. One is tolerant, the other is Sodom and Gomorrah.

I think one of the great tragedies of modern America is the outright ban on Christianity in both our public life in general, and our schools in particular. The last several decades have shown what a de-Christianized America looks like. We've seen the future, and it isn't pretty.
Harry Weigle, North Augusta, S.C.
Voter offers his recommendations in races
With all the hype surrounding the gubernatorial primary, South Carolina Republicans risk forgetting some of the other races on the lower part of the ballot. In these important contests, voters should consider the following candidates:
Gary Bunker, Aiken, S.C.
Barrett understands SRS issues
Gresham Barrett is the best candidate to represent the interests of the Savannah River Site in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Robert Roboski, Aiken, S.C.
Barrett's record, Bush ties are assets
Gresham Barrett's close ties to President George W. Bush will be a key asset once he's elected to the U.S. House. Mr. Barrett was Mr. Bush's campaign co-chairman during the South Carolina primary. He is also on a first-name basis with many key players in the White House.
Theresa McMullin, Edgefield, S.C.
Critic of President Bush obviously was an 'A' student

SRS manager will be missed
The Department of Energy recently announced that Greg Rudy, manager of the Savannah River Site, was being transferred to Washington to become an associate administrator in the National Nuclear Security Administration.
Fred C. Davison, Aiken, S.C.
'Parental choice' candidate best
Gresham Barrett is the "Parental choice in education" candidate in the Republican primary for South Carolina District 3. He understands that big government, whether federal or state, is not always the solution when it comes to better education for our children.
Ed Seufert, Aiken, S.C.
A necessary revamp
The initial congressional response to President Bush's far-reaching proposal to create a new Cabinet-level department to oversee homeland defense is encouraging. But then what else could it be, given that Congress, especially Democrats, has been urging the president for months to do just that.
Justice system unfair to blacks
According to the May 19 Augusta Chronicle, Superior Court Judge William D. Jennings III agreed to set bond for Rufus Owens, the alleged killer of Anthony Campbell Jr. Although Mr. Owens is facing murder and weapon charges, he was granted a $50,000 bond.

There are no simple answers to the "Why does he do that?" question, but here are some insights into abusive men and why they abuse. I also included links to articles about why women stay with abusers.
I'm getting my Master's of Social Work (MSW) at UBC (the University of British Columbia) in Vancouver, and I have encountered one of the most abusive men I've ever met. What shocks me is how open and honest he is about his abusive behavior. He doesn't give a rip how his words and actions affect his wife. In fact, he wants her to leave him – which is probably partly why he's doling out the emotional abuse like candy canes at Christmas. Why does he do that?
This article is for her – and for all women wondering why abusive men act the way they do. These examples of abusive behavior are to help wives see their relationships more clearly, and to show them they're not alone.

Make him fall in love with you... Captivate Him So He'll Never Want to Leave
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." – Harvey Fierstein. Unfortunately, Harvey, this is easier said than done. But do it we will!
At the end of this article is a link to the book Why Does He Do That? by Lundy Bancroft. It'll help you get inside the minds of abusive men, which will help you see your relationship – and yourself – more clearly.
Examples of Abusive Behavior
You probably didn't find this article by searching for "examples of abusive behavior", but that's how I'm starting this article. Before we delve into why he does that, let's define what the "that" is.
Emotional abuse isn't always direct criticism or being mean. Often, verbal and emotional abuse is more insidious and difficult to pinpoint. That's why abusive men are often in long-term relationships with women – their abuse isn't obvious! Why does he do that? Because he's slick and unhealthy.
Blaming. "You make me say these things. It's not my fault you push me this far. You're crazy and stupid!" or "You're upbringing has made you frigid and useless in bed. I've been with so many women and I thought they were bad, but you're the worst. You're boring and not a turn-on."
Emotional manipulation. "You're imagining things – I never said that!" or "Baby, you misunderstood me. I meant I LOVE it when you haven't showered in two days. The funny odd smell makes realize how different you are from other women." Or "You're too sensitive."
Passive aggressive comments. "Whatever, I'm not mad, I don't care" or "I'm not trying to be mean, but you look ugly in that hairstyle." Abusive men can be passive aggressive when they're reluctant to engage in conflict or confrontation, but have negative feelings.
If you're not sure you're with an abusive man, read Signs of an Abusive Relationship – and How to Survive.
Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Abusive Men
Why he does that depends on many factors. The reasons men abuse are varied and complex. There's never one single reason; it's a combination of past experiences, personality, coping mechanisms, and even the current culture. For example, in some families or communities it's acceptable to emotionally abuse women by talking down to them, calling them names, ignoring them, or bullying them.
Victim identity. "Blamers can be dangerous to love because they usually suffer from victim identity," writes Steven Stosny in Are You Dating an Abuser? "Feeling like victims, they see themselves as justified in whatever retaliation they enact and whatever compensation they take. Blamers will certainly cause pain for you if you come to love one."
Narcissism. Here's an excellent explanation of narcissism or Narcissistic Personality Disorder on Jen Mawter's blog, from Narcissistic Victim Syndrome: "A person with NPD has an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for attention and admiration, and a strong sense of entitlement. They believe they are superior and have little regard for the feelings of others….The narcissist views people as objects which can feed their needs… Narcissistic abuse is insidious because the abuse is covert, cunning and indirect. Narcissists go to great pains to avoid being observed publicly as being abusive. The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde behaviour creates fear, distress, confusion, inner turmoil, and chaos for the victim. The constant 'walking on eggshells' and attempting to avoid further conflict can be crippling. To complicate matters a narcissist is rarely medically diagnosed and often goes undetected in society (home, work, organisations, and social settings)."
Ownership or entitlement. Abusive men may feel justified in the abusive behavior because they have a sense of entitlement or ownership over their partners.
Bottled up pain, anger, resentment. Disconnection from their true feelings is my personal favorite answer to the "why does he do that?" question. I believe that abusive men are not in touch with their emotions, have not processed past pain or experiences, and aren't connected to their partners in meaningful ways. Of course, every abusive man may have a different answer or reason to act the way he does…the trick is uncovering and dealing with that reason.

Dear mashayla,
I am sorry that your marriage is so awful. It sounds like your husband is abusive and angry, and nothing you do or say will change him.
My prayer for you is that you find friends who become closer than family, friends you can rely on and trust. I pray you're able to connect with people you really like and respect, and that they support you and help you not feel so alone. You don't have to be alone, crying…I pray you are able to see your way through to friendship and peace and happiness in your life. Amen.
Laurie -
My husband is very abusive he's always putting me down telling me to shut up, he says he doesnt care about the way i feel and calls me names tells me he doesn't need me in anyway and basically says that all I give to him which is everything!! Is worthless to him I love this man with all of my heart but I'm tired of feeling like I'm the one that always starts our fights and makes the problems that we have when it's actually him I could say the sky is purple and he would start screaming at me I have no other family except for him and feel very lost at times and all I can do is cry. I'm all alone e in this hell of mine!
I felt so bad about the wife of this guy, I had to pull my car over and cry on the way home after school. He is a pig – he told me way worse things than I could put in this article. My heart breaks for women who are with abusive men, who are wondering "why does he do that?" — and blaming themselves.

Respond to Review of Bio Restaurante Vegetariano
by shapesh1ft
Review: The place is very small with only few tables. The menu has only handful of options but they could be made vegan. They used mostly seitan. Food is very simple home cooking style. The waiter didn't speak much English but tried his best. The location is sub-urban. Prices are low to reflect the location.

One solution to Senator Stephenson's fears of a Congress with unlimited
taxing authority would be the implementation of term limits for our national and
state legislators. As it stands now incumbents traditionally win reelection at
both the state and national level. With term limits my question is "would
legislators work more for the common good knowing they would be out in 6-12
In reading the opinion I think the CJ is, in his own
way, calling out the American voting public and saying to them "If you want
this tax imposed then you will keep the status quo. If you don't then you
will vote for change". I would think that Republicans such as Senator
Stephenson would be thrilled at this decision because it is activism at
it's finest. It also represents an act of judicial restraint at the same
time,the same type of restraint that conservative Republicans have called for
from the SCOTUS for years. CJ Roberts has now shown himself to be his own man as
a CJ. I love it!

"Obamacare began its legislative journey in the Senate, which means its
passage may have violated the Constitution."
Slick politicians
have their methods. The House originated a bill which the Senate totally gutted
except for the bill number then inserted Obamacare. So, essentially the
'bill' originated in the House but the Senate supplied all the words.
The proviso in the Constitution that all tax bills originate in the House has
been totally nullified.
And, with the recent Court ruling on
Obamacare, there is no power or authority that the federal government cannot
exercise despite the limitations of federal power perceived by the Founding
Fathers as spelled out in the Tenth Amendment.

The problem is, the court didn't vote on the
law... The court rewrote the law, then voted. It changed the word
'penalty' to 'tax.'
Yeah, I know. Roberts merely
stated that the individual mandate 'penalty' could be collected under
Congress's authority to 'tax.' Dah! It's fairly obvious
that Congress can tax almost any activity and that Roberts didn't have to
address Congressional taxing authority. What was expected is for the court to
tell us whether or not the government penalize (or tax) inactivity... i.e., can
the government force citizens to buy something such as a GM (Government Motors)
car, broccoli, or health insurance? Apparently it can. By the Roberts decision
America has entered into a new realm of creeping socialism and total government
control of our lives.

@Twin Lights:
"So we should abolish the constitution and
institute a new government? Would that not be treason?"
Much of
the Constitution has already been abolished.
Firstly, all tax bills
are supposed to originate in the House. Obamacare originated in the Senate.
The reason Senators elected to start it in the Senate is because they labeled
the government revenue collection as a 'penalty' and not a
'tax.' The Supreme Court called it a tax. Realistically the whole
thing should have been summarily tossed by the on this point and remanded back
to the Congress to correct the action. But it wasn't.
the Tenth Amendment limits the powers of the federal government to those listed.
This provision is basically irrelevant because, as we see with the Obamacare
decision the powers of Congress are boundless.
And thirdly, the tax
anti-injunction law has been violated. This law prohibits a court from hearing

'tax' in the Obamacare case will not start being paid (collected)
until 2014.
These are significantly large chunks out of our
Constitution. Surely the thing is hanging by the tiniest of threads.

"The headline asks the question 'After Court's
ruling, is Congress' taxing power now unlimited?' The answer only
takes one word. The answer is simply, Yes."
So, the next question
has to be... what about the Tenth Amendment... has it been totally invalidated?

I currently have much more confidence in the broken system in Washington than I have in the corrupt actions coming from our own state legislative offices. There is no balance in Utah politics, absolutely no checks in place to prevent corruption...closed caucuses, shutting down access to public records, vote-with-me-or-face-trouble politics...

Much of the constitution has been abolished? Really? Like
the bicameral legislature, the executive, the supreme court, the bill of rights,
etc.? None of these are All of these are gone? Hardly.
In the
legislative process, bills originate in both houses and go back and forth. The
rest is nomenclature. If the origination of the ACA were so problematic, then
that would have been the basis for rejection by the court. It was not. The
same applies to the 10th Amendment and the tax anti-injunction act.
Roberts was right (as were the founders). The real ability to limit the scope
of govt. is with the people via the ballot box.
THAT is the
constitutional solution. Any other solution is outside of the constitution.
We cannot save the constitution by going outside of it. That would
destroy it. If we are intent on saving the constitution, then we must always
keep our actions within the constitutional framework.
Anything else
is a betrayal of the constitution and its framers.

I think telling him how proud of him you are and genuinely expressing your gratitude will go farther than any gift. Your boy has expressed amazing empathy for such a young age. But, a trip to the local skate park followed by an ice cream cone never hurt;)

Once you've drawn your initial product design, it's time to take it to a 3D program for modeling. Veejay Gahir takes the initial sketch of a Formula 1 steering wheel from the first part of this series and shows you how to model and render a fully realized version in Maya. He shows how to import the sketch, use box and freeform modeling techniques to create the basic shape, and add details like buttons, dials, and decals. Finally, Veejay shows how to add texture and lights and render out the final view of your model.
This course uses an F1 wheel as an example project, but the techniques can be applied to any other automotive or consumer product. For more information, watch the first part of this series, Sketching an F1 Wheel in SketchBook.
In this video I'm going to show you how to import a reference image into Maya. So let's go ahead and open up chapter one start and I'm going to go straight to my top view and lets very quickly check our grids again. Let's go to create, measure tools, distance, hold down the x key and then click in the horizontal to check the ten units and again in the vertical the ten units. Let's just delete those. Now we're ready to import the image. So I want to go to View, Image plane, Import image, it's going to navigate straight to our source images folder for Maya Pic on F1 finished, and let's hit open.
Now we have no idea if this is the correct scale for this particular wheel. But engineering of who told us that the wheel needs to be 33 centimeters width. So let's suggest this image plain. The way I do this is I'll go into cube, double click cube, and I'm going to set the width as 33. The height can be 22 for now. We're going to adjust the height and depth at a later stage. And I've just kept the depth at 22, as well. And let's just say, Create. So you can see the proportions are way off. Our image plane is way too small, and we need to adjust that.
Before I start to scale this image plane, I'm just going to do one quick thing. I want to change the alpha gain down just a fraction, so we have a little bit of transparency to it. Let's go ahead, pick the image plane go to our scale tool and scale the image plane up until the handle just touches off on the inside off that polygon cue. Now I'm going to go to my polygon cue, and I'm going to adjust the vertical like so. So what we've done in effect here is created an envelope that our wheel will sit within. So it's a good reference to have.
Now we're going to select the image plane. I'm going to go into our Channel Box Layer Editor, turn to Layers, Create a Layer from Selected. Let's double-click that, and let's just call that Reference Image. Save. So now we have a great way to manage this image. We can hide it. And we can template it so that it cannot be moved or adjusted by accident.

BCS Blog: Meyer wouldn't tell Tebow to stay
Published: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 10:30 a.m.
Florida coach Urban Meyer and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops both talked about their advice to players on whether to leave college football early for the NFL draft.
Meyer said that when he first came to Florida he would keep those opinions to himself. Now, he said, given the near-familial relationships between coaches and players at UF, he tries to help them make the right decision.
Meyer said he puts the players in touch with the right people, like Bill Belichick or Jack Del Rio.
Asked whether he'd try to convince junior quarterback Tim Tebow, who has filed papers with the NFL, to stay for his senior year, Meyer said: "Absolutely not."
Stoops said his advice to players is that they need to look at the financial value of staying longer and going higher in the draft.
"You need to get your value," Stoops said. "In that league, it's not for long, that's what the NFL stands for. ... Get our value."

Certainly BOTH sides are to blame! Why not - politicians seek perpetual office through Gerrymander through rabidly partisan primaries and through campaign contributions. End the Gerrymander end partrisan primaries prohibit campaign contributions and you have a good start. And to H with the Constitution if its in the way.
As it stands our only hope is that one party fouls the Country up so badly that no candidate from that party could be elected dogcatcher for a lifetime. Don't care which one. Neither has the good of any but their core in mind but I could at least imagine the possibility that one set of priorities applied without any effective opposition might at least resolve some issues.
Or maybe some less screwed up country will just buy the USA and fire our entire system of government as designed by the DEvil himself to torture humanity.
You're back and as partisan as ever...I'm starting to give up hope on you.
Your memory is faulty. The Dems held up a lot more appointments than just Supreme Court under Bush Jr.
To summarize:
We have gone from "I'm OK, You're OK" (whenever that was -- in the time of Adam and Eve maybe?);
I'm OK, You're NOT OK (... add the number of exclamation points per the style sheet of either Fox or MSNBC);
and we should get to
I'm not OK, You're not OK?
Or to quote the Beach Boys, "Wouldn't it be nice...."

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – It its first home match since February 9th, the Colorado State women's tennis team was defeated 5-2 by Utah State. The loss drops the Rams to 3-10 overall and 0-4 in Mountain West contests.
"We had a couple bright spots with winning matches at the four and five, and solid performances from a sophomore and freshman," Head Coach Jon Messick said. "I thought their No. 1 player was head and shoulders above the rest of their team, she is one of the top players in the region.
In doubles, the Aggies captured all three matches and took the doubles point. At the No. 2 doubles position seniors Kaley Schultz and Lauren Pick gave Utah State a run for their money as they forced a tiebreaker before eventually losing 8-7.
In singles action, the Rams won two of the six matches. Freshman Celine Voss earned her first collegiate victory with a 6-1, 7-5 sweep of Aggies Lexi Turley.
"She has been getting better every match," Messick said. "She is gradually getting her confidence, but I think the main thing is for her to keep improving her tennis and that is what she has been doing."
Sophomore Maddie Buxton earned her fourth victory over the year at the No. 4 spot for the Rams as she swept Katie Sweet 6-3, 6-4.
Although the Rams had some success on Friday, the Aggies earned the overall match victory with sweeps in the No. 1, 2 and 6 singles position.
The Rams will have one day off before hosting Mountain West foe Boise State on Sunday. The match is currently scheduled to be played outside at the University Tennis Complex but bad weather could force the match indoors. CSURams.com will have all updates to the location of Sunday's match.

Dear Rahsaan, I am the 10th great granddaughter of Abraham Dugas born 1616 in France. I have in St. Anne Auray, Brittany. His father was Abraham Dugas married to Marguerite Carsonne. He married Marguerite Louise Doucet around 1645 in Port Royale, Acadie and he died around 1698 in Port Royale. His child was Claude who is my relative. Other children are Marie, Anne, Martin, Marguerite, Abraham, Marie Madeleine, and Jeanne Marie. Claude's daughter Agnes married Michael Thibodeaux and their child marguerite Thibodeaux married into the Broussard/Brossard family. My descent is via female relatives so the name changes frequently. Let me know if you need any more specific information. I have not been able to document most of this but I do come across it on the internet. Sincerely. Julie
