|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Tucked away from the noise and busyness of everyday life, is a quiet hideaway located just a few miles outside the quaint little Village of Intercourse, PA. Many Lancaster County attractions are nearby: Kitchen Kettle, Strasburg Railroad, Dutch Wonderland, Amish Quilt Shops, Rockvale and Tanger Outlet Malls, Sight and Sound Millenium Theatre, Shady Maple Restaurant/Smorgasboard and other Restaurants with Amish Cooking, Buggy Rides, Hot Air Balloon Rides.
The cozy apartment under the main level of the owner's home is warmly decorated and peaceful. It includes a comfortable featherbed, flat-screen TV/DVD, seating area with fireplace, dining table and kitchenette (small refrigerator/microwave/coffee maker.) A washer and dryer can be used for small loads of laundry. The spacious backyard features a large gazebo, perfect for picnics, and you are invited to stroll through perennial gardens bursting with color in the summer months or relax in the hammock under the trees.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment: Although we live within a short distance of many activities, and are located within several hours of some of the largest cities in the Northeastern United States, our home is nestled in the quiet countryside of Lancaster County's Amish community. It truly is the best of both worlds!
My husband and are have been married for over 30 years--28 of those years we have lived on this same property. When our children were teenagers we built an addition to the original house, and underneath that addition, we constructed a large room which was used by our kids and their friends. In 2009, we decided to finish that space as a guest area and the Hideaway was established! These guest quarters are unique in that, while the space is attached to our home, it is very private, with its own parking area and separate entrance. It is possible for guests to be on the property for a week at a time and we may never even meet each other. My husband and I like to be available if we are needed but give our guests space and privacy to enjoy their vacation stay.
Fan Smucker purchased this apartment in 2009
We had a wonderful time. So much fun that I'm actually looking at the availability calendar right now! The Hideaway is lovely. My girls loved it too. They're 5 & 3 and kept asking to go back to Fan's house while we were out and about. Cooper is super sweet too. Lovely home, well maintained, and they have everything you could possibly need. Extra linens and towels were provided as well as cups, plates, cutlery. I'm 38 and have been coming to Lancaster since I was a child. After staying here, I won't stay anywhere else when in the area!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway. So quaint and beautiful. We were greeted by the sweetest dog named Cooper and the grand landscaping of the back yard. So very peaceful and relaxing as we enjoyed sitting in the gazebo. And the clip clop of the Amish buggy's driving by was pure joy.
I would highly recommend staying off the beaten path at the Hideaway. My husband and I plan on returning at Christmas time.
We stayed in the Carriage House for a week with our two young children, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The suite was clean, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The Smuckers were friendly and very professional. The grounds are beautifully maintained--our children loved playing on the playground, and we loved relaxing in the gazebo. There were toys and balls for the children in the suite, and riding toys outside. Fan provided excellent recommendations for family-friendly activities in the area and even gave our four-year-old daughter a ride on a four-wheeler one morning. I'd highly recommend the suites to young families (or anyone!) looking for a peaceful getaway.
I cannot say enough great things about our stay at the Hideaway. It was perfect for me and my boys. The pictures are exactly what you see when you walk in. It was immaculate, nicely decorated, inviting, and quiet. There were so many nice touches. We cannot wait to come again! I would recommend the Hideaway to anyone!
The Hideaway was a great getaway! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners have taken the time to make sure the space is comfortable and felt like home and not a stuffy hotel. The location was conveniently located to everything we wanted to see but also feeling like you weren't in the middle of all the touristy stuff. We will most definitely stay here again in the future and recommend it to family and friends!
Wow. The Hideaway is just perfect. These pictures do not do it justice. The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable. Even though this is the lower level of the house and there was a foot of snow outside, it was very cozy, warm and inviting inside. The owners goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. Every detail was covered. There was even some pumpkin bread waiting for us!!! I cannot say enough great things about this place. I would highly recommend the Hideaway for a quiet getaway. But there are plenty of amenities should you decide to bring the kids along. And what a great location. In the heart of Dutch country but still close to shopping/dining. You can't go wrong!!

Recrutement : ADOBOTZ, 8492nd Squadron, 6 Star Street Racers et d'autres crews cherchent des membres
Cette rubrique des Actualités Rockstar est consacrée exclusivement aux messages de recrutement des crews recherchant activement de nouveaux membres
Les messages de recrutement des crews nous arrivent de tous les coins de la carte et couvrent une large palette de styles et de préférences. Des nouveaux venus prometteurs aux crew vétérans d'élite, beaucoup cherchent à gagner en nombre et en influence dans le Social Club. Notre dernière sélection d'annonces comprend les animaux robotiques de ADOBOTZ, les pilotes émérites de 8492nd Squadron et des Banzai Bombers ainsi que les as du volant de 6 Star Street Racers. Lisez la suite pour voir si un de ces crews est fait pour vous.
Le délégué du crew ZiggyBotz parle avec enthousiasme de la transformation qui s'opère chez les joueurs, une fois membre du crew ADOBOTZ. Une ^petite visite sur leur site officiel suffit à prouver qu'ils ne plaisantent pas lorsqu'il s'agit de l'organisation du crew. Avec des événements réguliers, des profils détaillés et une procédure de recrutement très stricte, entrer dans ce crew est considéré comme un privilège et un honneur dans cette équipe de robots agités.
"Our Crew consists of 90% active players. All of our members share their PSN IDs with the Crew to ensure we have no Crew killers, which makes the game more enjoyable. 70% of our members are on Skype in our ADOBOTZ chat room - where we stay in touch with our GTA family members even when not playing the game. We are very active on Social Club and use all of the features it has to offer to our advantage. Our great leadership structure ensures that everyone has an enjoyable time playing the game. There is always a Commissioner online that can handle and resolve any Crew issues that might arise.
ADOBOTZ was founded on May 14th, 2014 and we already have 5000+ hits! Our 'EVENTS' section is packed with weekly events and prizes. The '8OTZ' section is where you can go and read up a bit about who you are playing alongside.
We ensure that everyone enforces and follows our rules as outlined on our website. The 'Leadership' section goes over how to get promoted within our great Crew. We also have our very own 'Recruiting Campaign' outlined for everyone to be able to help us grow. 'BATTLE8OTZ' takes Grand Theft Auto's Online Player vs Player side of the game to a whole new level. And of course no real Crew website would be complete without a 'Join Us' section to go over what we expect from all of our new recruits.
Having an active Crew that's filled with great individuals across the world makes you want to play the game. When you have a group of people that you spend so much time with everyday playing a game online, they become your family. That is the relationship that all of us have with each other and that just makes this an amazing Crew. I am very proud and lucky to be a part of something like this."
Crew de haut vol visant à devenir les meilleurs pilotes de Los Santos et Blaine County, les 8492nd Squadron, dirigés par V_Jackal_V, nous prouvent que la grippe n'est pas le seul danger que vous pouvez attraper par voie aérienne lorsque vous ne vous protégez pas assez.
"The Golden Age of the pilots may have died out long ago. However many honorable aviators still hold their cherished memories of dogfights and running endless circles of death around their helpless targets close at hand. Let this Crew act as a home for those skilled pilots that may have become misplaced with the times and let them find their way here. Also, perhaps, think of this as a place for rookie pilots wishing to become more skilled to sharpen their abilities.
Here at the 8492nd our main priority is aviation in Grand Theft Auto V. Honing our skills in the air, working as a team, and carrying on with our abilities to completely subdue unfortunate unsuspecting players. We also participate in special Deathmatches made for the purpose of dogfights and the like.
As evil as the agenda may sometimes appear, we are also up to the task of assisting other Crews and players if they are ever in need of some support from the skies. We will often fly escort missions if a friendly Crew needs absolute air superiority while traveling in any commercial aircraft."

De mystérieuses puissances des ténèbres contribuent à renforcer des crews comme les Devil Squad Gangstas mais ce sont leurs membres les plus enthousiastes comme DSGxFresh qui s'occupent de leur recrutement. S'ils se plient à quelques règles quand vient l'heure du combat, ça ne les empêche pas de s'adapter à la situation. Leurs amis comme leurs ennemis feraient mieux de se faire discrets et de porter des Protections ultralourdes quand ils assistent à leurs cascades. Elles ont tendance à finir avec un grand boum.
"Our Crew is known as the Devil Squad Gangstas. We have been playing various Rockstar Games online. Originally created on Grand Theft Auto IV, our squad has been around for a while now. Based on the Xbox 360 only, with our own Facebook group for members and a website in the works, Devil Squad is looking to expand. We have several members who have been in the Crew since day one, and some newer people but we are always looking for more active and loyal players. Currently we have about 30 plus active players. Our Crew is online every day, doing missions and attacking other Crews in Freemode.
The Devil Squad Gangstas like to reside in East Los Santos. Our Crew color is red and the secondary color is black. We don't like using mini-guns, rocket launchers, tanks etc. We like to try and stick to gun play, primarily assault rifles but will switch if our enemy doesn't like to play fair. We don't have many rules, aside from some pretty basic ones. No team killing, have a mic and be mature. Members in the Crew are actively creating Deathmatches with the Content Creator to practice amongst the Crew, which we have a lot of fun doing. Contact our Commissioner, dsgdevvo or our Lieutenant, Gamerholic9 if you are interested in joining."

KlownSnypr et les Banzai Bombers volent à toute vitesse dans leurs salon de GTA Online et ne se soucient pas de grand-chose si ce n'est de venir en aide à leur équipiers. Leur devise étant simplement le "BANZAI" qui constitue leur emblème, courez à l'abri si vous voyez ce crew belliqueux à l'horizon.
"Banzai Bombers is actively recruiting active members in the community. We are a Crew that does not take things as seriously as some of the others and quite frankly mock them for it. As a Crew, we mostly mission together and Crew around in free mode, robbing stores, playing mini-games, finding jumps, and finding unique areas for Creator content or to take Snapmatic pictures of.
Our rules are simple:
1. No outright killing of other Crew Members
2. Help a fellow Crew member in need of help
If you and another Crew member want to duke it out, both of you need to message the Commissioners or Leader before you do so. Above all it is just a game and we all want to have fun but if some jerk is trying to ruin your fun then as a Crew, we'll ruin theirs."
Cette sélection de vidéos de recrutement de crews nous vient des vallatorymidget, de la joyeuse bande des Sons of BlackWood MC, ainsi que des très classes 6 Star Street Racers, dirigés par TMXTitanium.
"Love bikes? Love leathers? Want to start playing GTA Online in a new way like an ACTUAL MC club? Well there's some good news. Although we are small at the moment, (due to a recent rebirthing of our Crew) we are a new MC club looking to do just that! We are already in touch with other like-minded and more established MC clubs. The plan is to ride and play like a proper MC Club, acting as security detail for Simeon deliveries in free roam, hijacking joy riders, holding up stores and armored trucks, planning future Heists and last but not least having open map conflicts with other MC clubs with radar settings OFF! In these games, they could hijack our security details missions and vice versa, not to mention, we also engage in good old fashioned territorial disputes!
Another major factor of the Crew is to make videos in a way that helps promote us as a real MC club. Proper scripting, production and the like is important to us. The first 20 members to join us will have the honor of being an original! As well as being instrumental in choosing our territory. We are also very open to people setting up and leading their own S.O.B. Charters in different territories; If you want to get more of an idea of what we are about, then please watch our video below. It took a lot of work and hopefully you'll enjoy it and want to come and join us."
"We're the Six Star Street Racers and were looking to recruit car enthusiasts with skill to play GTAV. We actively play and I personally have a long history on GTA with the community and hope to pass this experience on to other players and hope to have a hell of a lot fun doing so. We've taken on the theme of street racers, something a little different than the typical Crews seen in GTA Online. We're a tight-knit role-playing Crew looking only to recruit active and loyal members.
Work your way through our ranks, choose your specialty and challenge other members for the title of: Drift King, Drag King, Speed King, Grip King and Showdown King. Play alongside and against other role-playing Crews including: Mafias, MC's, Street Gangs, Military Crews etc...
Want to join us? Message SixStar Titan on Xbox Live and you'll be provided with the chance to take a time trial, beat the required time and you're in! If you can't beat that you can also request a Deathmatch trial and join us as a shooter rather than a driver."

LETTER: Mailer about Davis a cheap shot
Sandra Hoy, Evansville
Mailer about Davis a lie and cheap shot
What kind of person is Vanderburgh County Republican Party Chairman Wayne Parke? Did reporter Jared Council confront Parke with the fact that the mailer about Vanderburgh County Treasurer Rick Davis was a total lie? The only people Rick's mayoral campaign still owes are Rick and his wife, Julie.
All Parke had to say for himself in Council's report was "They're involved with a lot of different things there, so I believe it to be an important office."
Are we to assume that means Parke believes the end justifies any means — including deliberate lies — when it comes to a political race for an important office?
The Davises are not wealthy. They were able to lend Rick's campaign $43,000 because they have been extremely careful with their money. As Vanderburgh County Treasurer, Rick has been equally responsible. Rick Davis deserves a second term as Vanderburgh County Treasurer.
Wayne Parke and everyone else responsible for that mailer deserve only our contempt.

A New Dimension on a Data-Fueled World
Information workers deal with information, or in other words, data. They use that data to do their jobs. They make decisions in business with that data. They impact the lives of their clients.
Many years ago, I was part of a formative working group researching information worker productivity. The idea was to create an index like Labor Productivity indexes. It was to be aimed at information worker productivity. By this I mean the analysts, accountants, actuaries, underwriters and statisticians. These are business information workers. How productive are they? How do you measure their output? How do you calculate an economic cost of more or less productive employees? How do you quantify the "soft" costs of passing work on to information workers? The effort stalled in academia, but I learned a few key things. These points underline the nature of an information worker and impacts to their productivity.
- Information workers need data…and lots of it
- Information workers use applications to view and manipulate data to get the job done
- Degradation, latency or poor ease of use in any of items 1 and 2 have a direct impact on productivity
- Items 1 and 2 have a direct correlation to training cost, output and (wait for it) employee health and retention
It's time to make a super bold statement. It's time to maximize your investment in DATA. And past time to de-emphasize investments in applications! Stated another way, applications come and go, but data lives forever.
My five-year old son is addicted to his iPad. He's had one since he was one-year old. At about the age of three he had pretty much left off playing Angry Birds. He started reading Wikipedia. He started downloading apps from the App Store. He wanted to learn about string theory, astrophysics and plate tectonics. Now, he scares me a little with his knowledge. I call him my little Sheldon Cooper. The apps that he uses for research are so cool. The way that they present the data, the speed and depth are amazing. As soon as he's mastered one, he's on to the next one. It won't be long before he's going to want to program his own apps. When that day comes, I'll do whatever it takes to make him successful.
And he's not alone. The world of the "selfie-generation" is one of rapid speed. It is one of application proliferation and flat out application "coolness". High school students are learning iOS programming. They are using cloud infrastructure to play games and run experiments. Anyone under the age of 27 has been raised in a mélange of amazing data-fueled computing and mobility.
This is your new workforce. And on their first day of their new career at an insurance company or large bank, they are handed an aging recycled workstation. An old operating system follows and mainframe terminal sessions. Then comes rich-client and web apps circa 2002. And lastly (heaven forbid) a Blackberry. Now do you wonder if that employee will feel empowered and productive? I'll tell you now, they won't. All that passion they have for viewing and interacting with information will disappear. It will not be enabled in their new work day. An outright information worker revolution would not surprise me.
And that is exactly why I say that it's time to focus on data and not on applications. Because data lives on as applications come and go. I am going to coin a new phrase. I call this the Empowered Selfie Formula. The Empowered Selfie Formula is a way in which the focus on data liberates information workers. They become free to be more productive in today's technology ecosystem.
Enable a BYO* Culture
Many organizations have been experimenting with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. Corporate stipends that allow employees to buy the computing hardware of their choice. But let's take that one step further. How about a Bring Your Own Application program? How about a Bring Your Own Codebase program? The idea is not so far-fetched. There are so many great applications for working with information. Today's generation is learning about coding applications at a rapid pace. They are keen to implement their own processes and tools to "get the job done". It's time to embrace that change. Allow your information workers to be productive with their chosen devices and applications.
Empower Social Sharing
Your information workers are now empowered with their own flavors of device and application productivity. Let them share it. The ability to share success, great insights and great apps is engrained into the mindset of today's technology users. Companies like Tableau have become successful based on the democratization of business intelligence. Through enabling social sharing, users can celebrate their successes and cool apps with colleagues. This raises the overall levels of productivity as a grassroots movement. Communities of best practices begin to emerge creating innovation where not previously seen.
Measure Productivity
As an organization it is important to measure success. Find ways to capture key metrics in productivity of this new world of data-fueled information work. Each information worker will typically be able to track trends in their output. When they show improvement, celebrate that success.
Invest in "Cool"
With a new BYO* culture, make the investments in cool new things. Allow users to spend a few dollars here and there for training online or in-person. There they can learn new things will make them more productive. It will also help with employee retention. With small investment larger ROI can be realized in employee health and productivity.
Foster Healthy Competition
Throughout history, civilizations that fostered healthy competition have innovated faster. The enterprise can foster healthy competition on metrics. Other competition can be focused on new ways to look at information, valuable insights, and homegrown applications. It isn't about a "best one wins" competition. It is a continuing round of innovation winners with lessons learned and continued growth. These can also be centered on the social sharing and community aspects. In the end it leads to a more productive team of information workers.
Revitalize Your Veterans
Naturally those information workers who are a little "longer in the tooth" may feel threatened. But this doesn't need to be the case. Find ways to integrate them into the new culture. Do this through peer training, knowledge transfer, and the data items listed below. In the best of cases, they too will crave this new era of innovation. They will bring a lot of value to the ecosystem.
There is a catch. In order to realize success in the formula above, you need to overinvest in data and data infrastructure. Perhaps that means doing things with data that only received lip service in the past. It is imperative to create a competency or center of excellence for all things data. Trusting your data centers of excellence activates your Empowered Selfie Formula.
Data Governance
You are going to have users using and building new apps and processing data and information in new and developing ways. This means you need to trust your data. Your data governance becomes more important. Everything from metadata, data definition, standards, policies and glossaries need to be developed. In this way the data that is being looked at can be trusted. Chief Data Officers should put into place a data governance competency center. All data feeding and coming from new applications is inspected regularly for adherence to corporate standards. Remember, it's not about the application. It's about what feeds any application and what data is generated.
Data Quality
Very much a part of data governance is the quality of data in the organization. Also adhering to corporate standards. These standards should dictate cleanliness, completeness, fuzzy logic and standardization. Nothing frustrates an information worker more than building the coolest app that does nothing due to poor quality data.
Data Availability
Data needs to be in the right place at the right time. Any enterprise data takes a journey from many places and to many places. Movement of data that is governed and has met quality standards needs to happen quickly. We are in a world of fast computing and massive storage. There is no excuse for not having data readily available for a multitude of uses.
Data Security
And finally, make sure to secure your data. Regardless of the application consuming your information, there may be people that shouldn't see the data. Access control, data masking and network security needs to be in place. Each application from Microsoft Excel to Informatica Springbok to Tableau to an iOS developed application will only interact with the information it should see.
The changing role of an IT group will follow close behind. IT will essentially become the data-fueled enablers using the principles above. IT will provide the infrastructure necessary to enable the Empowered Selfie Formula. IT will no longer be in the application business, aside from a few core corporation applications as a necessary evil.
Achieving a competency in the items above, you no longer need to worry about the success of the Empowered Selfie Formula. What you will have is a truly data-fueled enterprise. There will be a new class of information workers enabled by a data-fueled competency. Informatica is thrilled to be an integral part of the realization that data can play in your journey. We are energized to see the pervasive use of data by increasing numbers of information workers. The are creating new and better ways to do business. Come and join a data-fueled world with Informatica.
Stop Hoarding Data – Retire Your Old, Redundant Applications!
Just like your house needs yearly spring cleaning and you need to regularly throw out old junk, your application portfolio needs periodic review and rationalization to identify legacy, redundant applications that can be decommissioned to reduce bloat and save costs. If you have a hard time letting go of old stuff, it's probably even harder for your application users to let go of access to their data. However, retiring applications doesn't have to mean that you also lose the data within them. If the data within those applications are still needed for periodic reporting or for regulatory compliance, then there are still ways to retain the data without maintaining the application. (more…)
Reflecting On Data Quality In 2011
With just a few days remaining in what has been an eventful year, I thought I'd take some time to reflect on the world of data quality as I've observed it over the past twelve months. While the idea of data quality improvement in general didn't change much, the way that companies are viewing and approaching it most certainly have. Here are three areas that seemed to come up quite frequently:
Data governance awareness grew
In thinking about all the customer interactions that I was involved in throughout the year, it's hard to come up with one where the topic of data governance didn't surface. Whereas before, the topic of data governance only seemed to come up for companies with more mature data management organizations, now it seems everyone is looking to build a governance framework in conjunction with their data quality efforts. Furthermore, while previously the conversation was largely driven by IT, now it's both IT and business stakeholders that are looking for answers to how data governance can help them drive better business outcomes. In increasingly competitive market conditions, we can only expect this trend to continue. Whether it's focused on increasing revenue, driving out cost or managing risk and compliance, data quality with data governance is where companies of all sizes are turning to create and sustain a differentiated edge. Trends like big data will only make this need more acute. (more…)
What Will 2010 Look Like For IT?
What type of blog would this be if I didn't end the year with my 2010 predictions?
To begin on a positive note, IT budgets will go up in 2010 after a global average 4-5% decrease in 2009. In many respects, however, 2010 will be even more difficult on IT than 2009. How can I say this if budgets are increasing? Doesn't this mean we will have more money to throw at nagging issues?
In general, most IT organizations have deferred maintenance on many core infrastructure and application items. For example, in the past, several of my peers would automatically refresh laptops at the three-year mark. I know many of them have extended this to five years. Even though the deferred hardware upgrades had a positive net impact on the budget, it was an increase in IT burden to manage old equipment as the "meantime between failures" increases. Now they are looking to upgrade these boxes. This is true for networks, phone systems, servers, applications… (How many of you are running Windows 2000 and need to upgrade?) (more…)

Rains bring relief to South African dams
By Ed Stoddard
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Rains last week have swelled dams
over much of South Africa's grain triangle but water
restrictions remain in place in some areas, a senior official
with the water affairs department said on Monday.
"If you look at the spread of the rain in the first 10 days
of the year it has been marvelous. We had double the average
amount of rainfall in general over the country over that
period," said Amelius Muller, the chief director for regions at
the department of water affairs and forestry.
"We do expect that for last week, when all of the data is
in, that nationally dam levels will have risen by 3 to 3.5
percent," he told Reuters.
Data from last week should be finalized by Wednesday.
But the distribution has been very uneven.
Muller said the Bloemhof dam in the far western part of the
maize growing region was below 9 percent just a few days ago
but on Monday morning its level had reached 24 percent.
"The Bloemhof dam is still rising and we expect it to reach
28 percent soon, which is good news as it is mostly used for
agriculture," Muller said.
"The Erfenis and Allemanskraal dams in the Free State don't
seem to have responded very well to the rains. Farmers who use
those dams still have zero quotas or 100 percent water
restrictions on them," Muller added.
"The Allemanskraal dam only reached 9 percent as of last
Thursday…If they do respond favorably we will reconsider the
restrictions there. But from a farmer's perspective it may be
late in the day."
The growing season for the key maize crop has started
fairly dry.
A Reuters survey early in January based on data from the
South African Weather Service showed rainfall from October to
December had been below average in 17 out of 18 of the
country's maize growing areas.
As of late last week, Muller said 55 of the 146 dams
monitored by his department were still at levels below 50
percent and more than 30 of those dams had less than 30 percent
of their water left.
Good rains have also been reported in drought-stricken
Zimbabwe as well as in Zambia and Malawi, raising hopes that
this year's harvest in those countries will be better than the
disastrous one of 2005, which has left close to 12 million
people in the region in need of food aid.

"Influenza infection is a potentially serious infection for all of us, and universal immunization is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older," said Dr. Leonard Krilov, chief of pediatric infectious disease and vice chairman of the department of pediatrics at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.
He stressed that "annual immunization is necessary because the virus strains change from year to year -- two of the three strains in this year's vaccine are different from last year."
Parents should immunize their children "as soon as the vaccine becomes available each year," Krilov said. "The side effects from the vaccine are generally mild. Most important, you cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine."
Another expert agreed.
Dr. Kenneth Bromberg, chairman of pediatrics at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York City, noted that the AAP's recommendations are in accordance with those from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
"One particular group to focus on is health care workers," he added. "Consumers should ask their providers if they are immunized against influenza, especially in hospitals."

WILL: Cruising for a showdown
In 2004, however, the 10th Circuit upheld an Oklahoma law requiring online casket retailers to have funeral director's licenses, which require several years of course work, a one-year apprenticeship, the embalming of 25 bodies, and two written exams. The court did not dispute that this is protectionism for funeral directors, but breezily wrote that "while baseball may be the national pastime of the citizenry, dishing out special economic benefits to certain in-state industries remains the favored pastime of state and local governments."
The 10th Circuit is right about the practice but is disgracefully tolerant of treating economic liberty as a plaything of politicians, who should be forbidden from favoring some interests and disfavoring others. The 6th Circuit is correct that government acts illegitimately when it abets "transfer seeking" ---- the use of laws to transfer wealth from the disfavored to the favored. The Supreme Court, which is supposed to resolve such contradictions among the circuits, should seize the opportunity to correct a 139-year-old error.
Fortunately, immigrants such as Bokhari often remind this nation, which they have embraced, of the national principles that drew them here. Unfortunately, the nation often needs reminding.

Chinese Artist's Paintings Capture 'The Allure of Tibet'
BEIJING, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Jingang Tian, together will fellow writer, Zeng Qingkai, recently looked at the beauty of Tibet through the eyes of renowned folk artist Nan Haiyan. The beauty of Tibet is as graceful as the luster of jade, simple and unfeigned, says Nan Haiyan, who has visited Tibet several times.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110712/CN33583 )
"I went to Tibet just because I love painting and the plateau could give me plenty of inspiration," Nan said.
During his stays in Tibet, he visited numerous villages, streets and lanes of Tibet's capital of Lhasa by bike, creating many sketches and paintings that reflect the plateau's scenery and folklores.
"I love Tibet's folk culture from the bottom of my heart, including its religions, people's beliefs and conventions. I have a special attachment to ordinary people on this plateau. I'm often inspired by their creations, such as sculptures, costumes, architectures, songs and dances," Nan said, adding that the past 50 years have witnessed tremendous changes taking place in Tibet.
"I must do something to enable our offspring to see Tibet's culture more vividly, other than ask them to visit museums only," said Nan.
Nan's Tibet-related paintings feature nomadic Tibetans engaged in their daily activities against the harsh, mountainous terrain that has defined their civilization.
"Nan describes Tibet as a land at the 'peak of the world,' and captures within this landscape the people who are part of this awesome land," said an art critic. "In Nan's portraits, you see Tibetans as individuals, carrying water, herding sheep, hunting, cooking, watching and thinking."
Nan's works have been well recognized as top paintings in the country, and caused a large stir in Chinese artistic circles and literary circles, and has gained a wide range of concerns, comments, research and impact.
Born in Pingyuan County, Shandong province in 1962, Nan now is a top Chinese painter specializing in depicting human figures.
As well as working for the Beijing Art Academy, Nan is a member of the China Artists Association and a visiting professor of China Central Academy of Fine Arts.
The Beijing Art Academy, established in May 1957 with the support of former Premier Zhou Enlai, was China's first, and until recent times the largest, professional art academy.
Nan joined the Wang Mingming Workshop of Beijing Art Academy in 1994 and received instruction from such well-known artists as Lu Chen, Zhou Sicong and Yao Youduo.
Nan's art pieces have won a series of awards both domestically and overseas. At the age of only 27, he received the Most Promising Award at a contest jointly held by the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Due to his distinctive and compelling work, Nan has been frequently invited to participate in noted exhibitions and events. He has also presented personal exhibitions on both the mainland and in Taiwan.
To gain inspiration from local life and people, he frequently travels to and lives in west China, often in Tibet.
His drawings of human figures are perhaps his strongest suit. While traditional Chinese painting still has an important place in the life of modern Chinese, many painters now express these new times in new ways.
By combining modern expression with traditional Chinese painting techniques, they are opening up an unexplored artistic world of artistic expression. Nan is clearly one of them.
His art style is also generally seen by art critics as from the "realism school", but Nan says he does not define it as realism or modernism, "I am painting in the pursuit of expressing my mind and heart."

For 40 minutes the Chicago Blackhawks did just about anything they wanted against the Winnipeg Jets.
They dictated the pace. They controlled the puck. They outshot the Jets, coming off a game against Toronto on Saturday night, badly — 27-6-after-two-periods badly. There were two things the Blackhawks couldn't do, however: get one more goal and close out the final 20 minutes. The Jets, however, did.
Brandon Bollig scored his sixth goal of the season 81 seconds into the game, but the Jets scored three unanswered goals in the third period en route to a 3-1 victory on Sunday night. It was a bitter loss for the Blackhawks, who were the dominant squad through the first 40 minutes. But they could manage just one goal against Jets backup goaltender Al Montoya. The Chicago-area native was stellar in stopping 34-of-35 shots in his first victory this month.
Bryan Bickell was a healthy scratch for the first time this season. The left winger has struggled through most of 2013-14, especially off his left knee injury that sidelined him nearly a month. Defenseman Mike Kostka played in Bickell's spot with Michal Handzus and Kris Versteeg. Head coach Joel Quenneville said it was a coaches' decision to sit Bickell.
"We need a lot more. We're looking for more," he said.
[WATCH: Blackhawks Postgame Live: Jets win the third period vs. Hawks]
Meanwhile, the Blackhawks who did play were frustrated after this one, including captain Jonathan Toews.
"I don't have an explanation without saying anything negative. We threw away another two points," he said. "We played good hockey in the first two periods, we know what we're supposed to do in those situations. We just haven't done it lately."
What the Blackhawks needed to do was capitalize on more chances, including the three power plays they had. They didn't. Be it Montoya's good work or the Blackhawks' inability to get second or third opportunities, Bollig's early wraparound goal was it.
"I didn't like where we put the puck," Quenneville said. "We didn't give ourselves a chance with second or third opportunities. Whether (Montoya's) seeing the puck or not, I still think we made it easy for him where we put it. We still had enough bodies (around the net), but we didn't get ourselves second opportunities by where we put original shots."
After being outplayed and outshot the first two periods, the Jets had the inevitable pushback in the third period. Blake Wheeler scored his 20th of the season to tie it 8:16 into the final frame. Less than five minutes later, a wayward pass by Marian Hossa went right to Andrew Ladd, who notched his 12th of the season for a 2-1 edge. Wheeler had the empty-net goal with 1:15 remaining to seal it.
"We were good for 40 (minutes), and they got a lucky bounce off the ref and it snowballed in the wrong direction," Versteeg said. "We were the better team the first 40. But give them credit: They came back and played their game."
[WATCH: Quenneville: 'Second goal was what we were looking for but didn't get it']
The Blackhawks were feeling great after last weekend's victories against the Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins. They haven't felt so good since, for obvious reasons. Be it mid-season malaise, bad decisions or unfortunate bounces, the Blackhawks have hit a bump in the road.
Speaking of the road, the Blackhawks hit it for the next 12 days, starting Monday. January hasn't been kind to the Blackhawks, who have followed great outings with forgettable or incomplete ones. They want to channel their frustration the right way, and for all 60 minutes, come Tuesday in Calgary.
"Let's look at the short term," Quenneville said. "Let's look at Calgary, and be angry at what happened tonight."

There's an interesting point. Because the Judge and the Jury in law cases are always people who do not know the person on trial. And they only have to go on what they are given in that trial.
It kinda mean the dispassionate viewing of information (hopefully good information) can lead to a different outcome than the viewing of others.
Look at it this way, if there is ever a jury selected to judge the facts of this matter they won't be seafarers... They will be "normal" people from city's, towns, farms, factories far removed from the sea... And they will be instructed by a judge whose longest voyage was the ferry to Coney Island.
But we will know that they will do a,pretty good job in resolving issues we are arguing about.
Or I hope so anyway!

An argument over forgotten dancing choes.. And the mum who left two young girls on the A69 in the middle of winter.
This is the busy stretch of dual carriageway where a mother abandoned her two young children after a family argument.
The woman told the girls ( aged six and nine ( to get out of the car after a row over some forgotten dancing shoes and drove off.
Yesterday the 44-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was spared a jail sentence by magistrates in Hexham after they heard of the astonishing incident on the A69 near Newton in January.
The girls stood beside the 70mph road for 15 minutes before police, alerted by other drivers, picked them up.
One of the girls told police: "She drove off and didn't come back."
They were unable to contact the mother and their grandmother eventually reported them missing at 5.30pm.
Soon after, the mother arrived at the station and was arrested. She was fined pounds 2,000 and ordered to pay pounds 60 costs.

Fox News employees are rushing to defend Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson after A&E placed him on indefinite hiatus for making anti-gay remarks in which he called homosexuality a sin, illogical, and akin to bestiality.
Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes defended homophobic remarks made by a star of the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty, blasting "intolerant, anti-Christian," and "Anti-Straight" "haters" for deigning to criticize the comments.
In an interview with GQ, Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson called homosexuality a sin, comparing it to bestiality and equating gay people with "drunks" and "terrorists." "It seems like, to me, a vagina - as a man - would be more desirable than a man's anus," Robertson told the magazine. The LGBT advocacy group GLAAD condemned Robertson's remarks as "vile." Starnes expressed outrage at criticism of Robertson's remarks, writing on Twitter:
Starnes is one of Fox News' most rabid purveyors of homophobia. He has urged fans to donate to anti-gay hate groups, endorsed anti-LGBT business discrimination, promoted the conspiracy theory that President Obama is secretly gay, and blamed "heterophobic bigots" for the withdrawal of an anti-gay pastor from Obama's inaugural ceremony. While Starnes is keen to malign supporters of LGBT equality as "intolerant" "bigots," his history of hateful commentary exposes his virulent bigotry.
Fox News' Todd Starnes accused a Georgia elementary school of "confiscating" Christmas cards in an effort to stifle religious expression, prompting outrage from residents and threats of corrective legislation from Georgia lawmakers. But according to the school district, Starnes' allegations are completely false.
In a story posted on his Fox News Radio show titled "Georgia School Confiscates Christmas Cards," Starnes cited the husband of one teacher at the school who claimed many teachers were "disgruntled by the school's decision to confiscate the Christmas cards." Starnes asserted that the Bulloch County Board of Education "cracked down" on the Christmas card display, as well as many other acts of "religious expression in their schools" :
Teachers have been ordered to remove any religious icons or items from their classrooms - ranging from Bibles to Christian music.
Teachers have also been instructed to avoid student-led prayers at all costs. Should they be in a room where students are praying, teachers have been ordered to turn their backs on their students.
Hundreds of outraged residents have joined a Facebook page to protest the crackdown - and many are vowing to attend a school board meeting on Thursday to let school officials have a piece of their mind.
The Board of Education released a statement late Tuesday denying the moving of the Christmas cards had anything to do with the "current open and ongoing discussions that the school system is having with local citizens about religious liberties and expression."
"We don't want this misinformation to derail the positive work we are committed to with our community leaders," Supt. Charles Wilson said in a prepared statement. "I'm appalled by this attack on our school system, and on Brooklet Elementary."
After Starnes' article, right wing media outlets picked up his story adding to outrage in the community. Town Hall reprinted Starnes' article and The Blaze reported that according to Fox News, "administrators reportedly asked teachers to move a group of hallway Christmas cards out of the view of students." Starnes' report even led one Georgia state senator, Judson Hill (R), to denounce the Bulloch County Board of Education and threaten to "explore possible legislation, if needed, to protect religious freedom of GA taxpayers":
Conservative media figures are touting a far-right coalition's sensationalist claim that the U.S. military is rife with anti-Christian hostility, ignoring the lack of evidence to substantiate the charge and allowing anti-LGBT hate groups to drive coverage of the issue.
Restore Military Religious Freedom (RMRF) - a coalition of right-wing organizations including Liberty Counsel, the Heritage Foundation, and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)-designated hate groups the Family Research Council (FRC) and American Family Association (AFA) - is leading the charge with this bogus claim. In early November, RMRF released a video featuring interviews with current service members making sweeping statements about the alleged anti-Christian bias permeating the armed forces. The video listed a few examples of apparent attacks on religious liberty in the military, but those examples don't withstand scrutiny.
Hinting at the real motives behind the RMRF's effort, the video includes a soldier complaining about the new wave of "tolerance" sweeping the military - a not-so-thinly-veiled reference to the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy. For years, the organizations behind RMRF have crusaded against open service by gay and lesbian soldiers, often using vitriolic language. Depicting the armed forces as anti-Christian has been central to the right's attack on the post-DADT military.
Anti-LGBT hate groups decided long ago that their ultimate solution must be the end of open service, but it was a solution in search of a problem. In its Christian persecution narrative, social conservatives have managed to manufacture that problem, despite that it consists of made-up anti-LGBT horror stories. Right-wing media are happy to take the hate groups' bait.
On the November 11 edition of Fox & Friends, FRC President Tony Perkins sat down with co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Brian Kilmeade to promote RMRF's campaign. While he didn't cite a single example of anti-Christian retaliation by the military, Perkins asserted that "all evidence would suggest" that the Obama administration is "on a search-and-destroy mission as it pertains to religious liberty." Hasselbeck didn't ask Perkins to back up his claim, but she did make sure viewers knew about RMRF's website:
The latest strange and ugly conspiracy theory to make its way from Alex Jones' Infowars.com to Fox News contended that the pregnant, diabetic woman who nearly fainted during a White House Rose Garden speech was faking her poor health at the behest of President Obama in order to improve his image.
On October 21, Obama took to the Rose Garden to address the status of a glitch-ridden HealthCare.gov. During the speech, a woman standing behind the president, Karmel Allison, nearly fainted. The president and others turned to help Allison, who was later revealed to be a Type 1 diabetic and pregnant -- conditions that may have contributed to her unsteadiness.
Shortly thereafter, Alex Jones and his website Infowars.com pounced on the incident, baselessly claiming that Allison faked her fainting spell. Not only that, the website claimed that Allison is just the latest in a long line of Obama's fake fainters. In an article titled, "Was Fainting Woman at Obamacare Speech Staged?," Infowars.com reporter Steve Watson wrote that the "President has used the fainting woman spiel many times before to play crowds":
[T]his is not the first time this has happened... or the second time... or the third time... or the fourth time... It happens ALL THE TIME. He pretty much has a prepared speech that he repeats.
Commentators have previously claimed that this could also be part an effort to appear like a kind of quasi-religious or Messianic figure.
At the very least, if these incidents are not staged, they serve to highlight how Obama routinely seizes on them to uphold his public image as a "great guy".
Other fringe outlets amplified the conspiracy theory. The following day, Lady-Patriots.com published a piece by founder Dr. Sharon Scheutz, in which Scheutz claimed the fainting was "phony":
I couldn't believe how phony it was. As soon as I watched it I went to youtube to check it out from different directions. It was just as fake from any of them.
For some strange reason, Obama has to have props around him when he does one of his con-jobs in the Rose Garden, or wherever he chooses to receive his worshipers. This was no different, except that he had animated props this time. Although it was well staged there were enough holes in this little scene to drive the proverbial truck through.
Scheutz, it should be noted, is not a credible source of information. In addition to being a fainting truther, Scheutz has compared the Obama administration to Nazi Germany and just weeks ago wrote that the president was a Muslim:
If America survives Barack Obama's presidency and if history tells the truth, one word used to describe him will be LIAR. Yes, he's a Muslim. Yes, he's a Socialist/Communist. Yes, he's even a moron, and he's evil. But everything associated with him since he has been in office can best be described by one word: LIAR.
Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes urged listeners to donate money to two anti-gay hate groups that routinely accuse gay men of being pedophiles.
The Family Research Council (FRC) and American Family Association (AFA) are two of the most extreme anti-gay hate groups in American politics. They regularly peddle smears about LGBT people, including the myths that gay men are more likely to engage in pedophilia and are responsible for the Holocaust. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC):
Together, the Family Research Council (FRC) and the American Family Association (AFA) may comprise the most important anti-gay lobby in this country... The FRC and the AFA are certainly among the most powerful groups on the American religious right.
They are also among the chief purveyors of lies about LGBT people. They have both regularly pumped out propaganda asserting that gay men molest children at far higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts -- a claim that has been debunked by virtually all the recognized scientific authorities in the field. The FRC has claimed that gay activists "work to normalize sex with boys," seek to "abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order," and support anti-bullying programs solely in order to promote homosexuality. The AFA has declared that "homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler ... the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews," suggested that gay sex be punished like heroin use, and said that the "homosexual agenda" endangers "every fundamental right" in the Constitution, including religious freedom. Both groups have enthusiastically promoted "reparative therapy," which claims against the bulk of the evidence that it can "cure" gay men and lesbians and make them heterosexual, but in fact has left a string of people behind who were badly hurt by the process. [emphasis added]
On the October 23 edition of FRC's Washington Watch radio program, FRC president Tony Perkins invited Starnes on to once again falsely accuse the military of persecuting Christian groups because of their opposition to homosexuality. At the end of the segment, Starnes - who has acted as a de facto mouth piece for AFA and FRC on Fox - encouraged listener to "pick up that phone and throw a few dollars into the cause" by donating to the notorious anti-gay groups:
STARNES: Tony, I want to thank American Family Radio. This is a share-a-thon.There's a reason why we need groups like Family Research Council, why we need folks like American Family Radio. Get the word out there, airing my daily commentaries. So folks, pick up that phone and throw a few dollars into the cause.
This isn't the first time a Fox News employee has solicited donations for an anti-gay group. In August, Fox News contributor Erick Erickson encouraged his supporters to give money to the Alliance Defending Freedom, a group working to criminalize homosexuality abroad.
Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes continued to shill for the extremist American Family Association (AFA), allowing the anti-gay hate group to bill itself as "a mainstream, evangelical, pro-family group" and baselessly asserting that the military is waging a campaign of "retribution and reprisals" against conservative soldiers who support the AFA.
In an October 15 column for FoxNews.com, Starnes assailed the U.S. Army for including the AFA in a presentation on domestic hate groups. Much as he did in an appearance on Fox & Friends earlier on October 15, Starnes whitewashed the AFA's record of anti-gay hate, describing the organization as a "well-respected Christian ministry" that simply supports "traditional family values" (emphasis added):
The Pentagon has admitted that information used in an Army briefing that labeled the American Family Association (AFA) as a domestic hate group was not acquired from official sources and does not reflect Army doctrine.
Meanwhile, the president of the well-respected Christian ministry says his organization may file a defamation lawsuit against the military.
"We are probably going to be taking legal action," said Tim Wildmon, president of one of the nation's most prominent Christian ministries. "The Army has smeared us. They've defamed the American Family Association."
The AFA was listed alongside domestic hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam during a briefing last week at Camp Shelby in Mississippi.
A soldier who attended the briefing recently sent me a photograph of a slideshow presentation that listed AFA as a domestic hate group because of their support of traditional family values and their opposition to homosexuality.
"For a taxpayer-funded organization like the military to use a politically-motivated group's hate group list is problematic," Wildmon said. "One way or another, we're going to get this changed."
And he strongly rejects accusations that AFA is a hate group.
"We are a mainstream, evangelical, pro-family group," he said. "We don't hate anybody. We have strong feelings on moral values. We oppose the gay and lesbian social and political agenda. We always have. We always will, but that doesn't mean we hate anyone."
Fox News whitewashed the record of the anti-gay hate group the American Family Association (AFA), falsely claiming an army training that highlighted the group's attacks on gay marriage was targeting Christians and "traditional" values.
On October 15, Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes attacked a military training session in Mississippi on domestic hate groups that included the AFA, calling the training "anti-Christian activity." Co-host Steve Doocy claimed the AFA was a "well-established, traditional Christian ministry," that simply "opposes gay marriage." Starnes concluded by falsely claiming that the military was targeting Christian groups exclusively, despite the fact that an on-air graphic identified the Nation of Islam as one of several groups the military presentation identified.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) designated AFA as a hate group for promoting anti-gay attacks that harm individuals and threaten human rights. According to the SPLC (emphasis added):
The AFA has declared that "homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler ... the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews," suggested that gay sex be punished like heroin use, and said that the "homosexual agenda" endangers "every fundamental right" in the Constitution, including religious freedom. Both [the AFA and the Family Research Council] have enthusiastically promoted "reparative therapy," which claims against the bulk of the evidence that it can "cure" gay men and lesbians and make them heterosexual, but in fact has left a string of people behind who were badly hurt by the process.
Bryan Fischer, the American Family Association's unofficial spokesman and the group's director of issues analysis, has previously called on the government to prohibit mosques from being built anywhere in the United States, suggested "the most compassionate thing" America can do is deport all Muslims, and wrote that "gay sex is a form of domestic terrorism."
The American Family Association has also enthusiastically endorsed Russian President Vladimir Putin's draconian anti-gay laws, with Fischer stating that the country isn't being homophobic but "homorealistic."
As the government shutdown loomed and then became a reality, right-wing media figures have called for maintained Republican commitment to keeping the government closed until Democrats agree to significant changes to the Affordable Care Act.
Fox News has reported on a number of alleged cases of Christian persecution in the military, relying heavily on the claims of a San Antonio pastor with a history of peddling misinformation about efforts to protect LGBT people.
On September 30, Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes published an article warning that the Air Force is "punishing evangelical Christians" - a right-wing myth he's been peddling unsuccessfully for months.
His article relied largely on statements made by Steve Branson, pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas. According to Branson, persecution of Christian service members is on the rise thanks to the growing acceptance of gays and lesbians in the military:
"There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base," said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. "Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it's gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality."
"The religious persecution is happening," the pastor said. "It's getting bigger every day. Gay and lesbian airmen can talk about their lifestyle, but the rest have to stay completely quiet about what they believe."
Starnes primarily relied on the case of Air Force Sgt. Phillip Monk, who baselessly claims he was reprimanded for opposing marriage equality despite repeated denials by the Air Force, to support this conspiracy theory.
Aside from Monk's story, Starnes' only evidence of a military-wide anti-Christian conspiracy is what Branson claimed to have been told at a private meeting with "at least 80 airmen" at his church:
Branson tells me at least 80 airmen attended a private meeting at the church where he heard them voice their concerns about religious hostilities at the Air Force base. It was a standing-room only crowd.
"They're getting mirandized several times a month - but most of the accusations never stick," Branson tells me. "Branson said he's getting email and letters from military personnel across the country - telling him their stories of religious persecution - and asking for help.
From the September 24 edition of WOAI's San Antonio's First News with Charlie Parker:
Loading the player reg...
Fox News figures have relentlessly pushed the GOP to defund the Affordable Care Act while ignoring the effect that defunding would have on health care costs, uninsured Americans, and new health care services.
A U.S. airman is facing a formal investigation for allegedly falsely claiming that he was punished for opposing marriage equality - a statement widely promoted by Fox News. Now, Fox News is citing the investigation as further evidence that the military is cracking down on anti-gay Christians.
Hoping to advance the right-wing myth that the military has an anti-Christian bias, Fox News has aggressively touted the case of Air Force Sgt. Phillip Monk. In August, Monk told Fox News that he had been relieved of his duties for vocally opposing marriage equality - a claim that the Air Force flatly denied, saying he was simply at the end of his assignment.
Now, Monk is being investigated for providing false statements about the incident, prompting further outrage from Fox.
During the September 23 edition of America Live, Fox's Shannon Bream - who's made a career of trumpeting bogus religious liberty claims - spoke to hate group leader Tony Perkins about Monk's case. Bream and Perkins framed the investigation as further evidence of anti-Christian bias, asserting that Monk was being punished for advocating for his "First Amendment right":
Social conservatives will descend on Washington, D.C., next month for the Values Voters Summit (VVS), an annual convocation put on by an assemblage of anti-LGBT groups that will prominently feature high-profile right-wing media figures.
Sponsored by organizations like the Family Research Council (FRC) and the American Family Association (AFA) - both Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)-designated hate groups - VVS got its start in 2006. As in the past, this year's gathering promises to feature leading opponents of equality for women and LGBT people. Several confirmed speakers will be familiar faces to consumers of right-wing media:
Among the right-wing media personalities slated to speak at the conference:
Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes is falsely warning that the USDA is bullying Christian organizations that distribute food to low-income individuals into "choos[ing] between Jesus and cheese," ignoring that religious organizations are allowed to provide social services as long as they comply with federal law.
In a September 9 column for FoxNews.com, Starnes said that the USDA threatened to revoke federal financial assistance from the Christian Service Center, a Christian ministry in Florida, unless the group "removed portraits of Christ, the Ten Commandments, a banner that read 'Jesus is Lord' and stop[ped] giving Bibles to the needy." The sensationalist claim is already being repeated by other right-wing media outlets. From FoxNews.com:
For the past 31 years, the Christian ministry has been providing food to the hungry in Lake City, Fla. without any problems. But all that changed when they said a state government worker showed up to negotiate a new contract.
"The (person) told us there was a slight change in the contract," [Christian Service Center Executive Director Kay] Daly told me. "They said we could no longer have religious information where the USDA food is being distributed. They told us we had to take that stuff down."
Daly said it's no secret that the Christian Service Center is a Christian ministry.
"We've got pictures of Christ on more than one wall," she said. "It's very clear we are not social services. We are a Christian ministry."
[T]he Christian Service Center had a choice: choose God or the government cheese.
So in a spirit of Christian love and fellowship, Daly politely told the government what they could do with their cheese.
"We decided to eliminate the USDA food and we're going to trust God to provide," she told me. "If God can multiply fish and loaves for 10,000 people, he can certainly bring in food for our food pantry so we can continue to feed the hungry."
But Starnes is setting up a false choice and one that the ministry is not facing.

Alex recently fought his way to a New Zealand Golden Gloves
junior lightweight title, and was also named the best junior
boxer of the tournament in the process.
It was no fluke, though.
The 15-year-old trains twice a day, six days a week, when
preparing for a fight.
''The training is mean. I do heaps of work on my footwork and
hand speed,'' Alex said.
He started boxing five years ago, when his mother, Leah, took
him down to the gym to try it out.
''At first, it was a bit scary watching him box, but he's a
beautiful fighter,'' his mother said.
The John McGlashan College pupil is motivated by his love of
boxing, and his love of winning.
''I was definitely fizzing after the Golden Gloves title,''
Alex said.
''I'm looking ahead to nationals in October, though.''
Alex won the national title last year, but there is more
riding on this year's title.
It will be a major decider for the six-man team that will
travel to the world junior championships next year.
''He's a great boxer,'' coach Ryan Henry said.
''His footwork, and ability to fight both inside and out,
gives him a massive advantage over his opponents.''
Alex, who fights for the New Zealand Fight and Fitness
Academy, hopes to compete at the Commonwealth Games in 2018.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Vanderbilt guard Kedren Johnson has been suspended from the university for a year, leaving the Commodores without their leading scorer from last season.
Johnson averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists as a 6-foot-4 sophomore last season.
Vanderbilt also announced guard Kevin Bright has left the team to sign with the Fraport Skyliners of Frankfort, Germany. Bright averaged 6.9 points and 5.5 rebounds last season as a freshman from Mannheim, Germany.
Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings says Bright wanted to be near his ailing mother.

Chandigarh or jalandhar
Santa was flying to Chandigarh from Pune. He was allotted a middle seat but decided to take the window seat instead, which had been allotted to an old lady.
The lady requested Santa to exchange the seats and let her sit on the seat allotted to her. He refused, saying, 'I want to see the view from the window.' The old lady complained to the air hostess who requested Santa to sit on his allotted middle seat. Santa was adamant and bluntly refused.
The air hostess went up to the co-pilot. He too came and requested Santa, but in vain.
Finally, the captain of the aircraft came. He whispered something in Santa's ears. Santa immediately vacated the window seat and took the middle seat.
Astonished, the air hostess and the co-pilot asked the captain what he had said to Santa. The captain replied: 'Nothing, I just told him that only the middle seats will go to Chandigarh. All others were going to Jalandhar.'

India the new millennium
Cheer up my son, buck up my boy,
You are living in 'The Land of Joy'. You go to school where they do not teach,
In the House of God, they hatred preach.
If you have merit, you will sigh and sob,
If you are backward, you might get a job.
Out of caste, if you dare to wed,
Your kith and kin will chop your head.
If you are honest, in north or in south,You will live from hand to mouth.
If you are wily and your means sinister,You are likely to become a chief minister.
But remember the new maxim, my lad,
Defection is good, conversion is bad.

Matter of perception
Two Women were chatting in the office.
Woman 1: I had s*x last night, did you?
Woman 2: Yes.
Woman 1: Was it good?
Woman 2: No, it was a disaster... My husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes, got on top of me, finished having s*x in five minutes, rolled over and fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours...?
Woman 1: Oh it was amazing! My husband came home and took me out to a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house and we had an hour of foreplay. We then had an hour long session of fantastic and afterwards talked for an hour. It was like a fairytale!
At the same time, their husbands were talking at work.
Husband 1: You wanted s*x last night, how was it?
Husband 2: Great.. I came home, dinner was on the table, I ate, sc*ewed my wife and fell asleep. It was great! What about you?
Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner because they cut the electricity because I hadn't paid the bill; so I had to take my wife out to dinner which was so expensive that I didn't have money left for a cab.
We had to walk home which took an hour - and when we got home remember there was no electricity so I had to light f*cking candles all over the house! I was so angry that I couldn't get it up for an hour and then I couldn't come for another hour.
After I finally did, I was so aggravated that I couldn't fall asleep and my wife was jabbering away for another f*cking hour.

The income tax officer decides to audit businessman Kewalramani, and summons him to the income tax office.
The officer is not surprised when Kewalramani shows up with his attorney, Jamshedji..
The officer says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you won money . I'm not sure the income tax finds that believable."
"I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Kewalramani. "How about a demonstration?"
The officer thinks for a moment and said, "Okay. Go ahead."
Kewalramani says, "I'll bet you ten thousand rupees that I can bite my own eye."
The officer thinks a moment and says, "No way! It's a bet."
Kewalramani removes his glass eye and bites it.
The officer's jaw drops.
Kewalramani says, "Now, I'll bet you Twenty Thousand rupees that I can bite my other eye."
The officer can tell Kewalramani isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Kewalramani removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned officer now realizes he has wagered and lost Thirty thousand rupees, with Jamshedji as a witness.
He starts to get nervous.
"Want to go double or nothing?" Kewalramani asks.
"I'll bet you Sixty Thousand rupees that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between."
The officer, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and Decides there's no way this guy can manage that stunt, So he agrees again.
Kewalramani stands beside the desk and unzips his pants,but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the desk.
The officer leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss Into a huge win.
But Jamshedji the lawyer moans and puts his head in his hands.
"Are you okay?" the officer asks.
"Not really," says Jamshedji, the attorney.
"This morning, when Kewalramani told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me Two lakhs Rupees that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it."
