OREGON Stores are NOT STATE RUN.
They are not state employees like WA was.
Oregon may call them agents...but the owners do there own payroll. the owners pay all there own bills...including there rent. How is that state run ?
All liquor from out of state goes to a Oregon warehouse....then the OLCC sells it to the stores...
The myth that the state runs these stores needs to be stopped somehow!
Oregon was not like WA was...WA had state benefits , sick days , health care etc.
Jefferson contact me on the westside so I can put signs up for you ...
The Portland LEFT needs to be blown up ...like Clark in WI.
best JOB in the BLAZERS ...is to be a rep for a blazers employee!
@ SPARKY ...500K is not a good money - in contrast of if he went to school at Oregon and got drafted in the 1st round it would be a cool mil if not MORE. You need to understand HOW hard it is to get to the Majors.
LETS look at the LAST OSU COLLEGE pitcher to get drafted KUNZ. 2007 1st round ...42nd pick. He has had 2.2 innings in MAJORS ....he is still pitching in Minors and is 26 years old...most guys his age would of dropped out by now. But he is in the AA / AAA going back and forth mode.
In fact since 2002 32 OSU pitchers have gotten drafted ...only 4 have had a cup of tea...in the majors.
SO stay in school get an education - get drafted higher and
end up getting more money ...

I have lived in my current location for 4 years....after the " neighborhood box " got broke into 2 within a year- I stopped getting any mail at my home. So for 3 years I have had one once or recyclable material from USPS.
Its been nice.
Rural areas should get contracted stations. They also should pinpoint one spot and group together streets and neighborhood boxes. ( I know mine got broken too , but I live SE portland where hell meets Hell) .
I mail stuff over 300 packages a week , it is my business- I just do not get it at my home....USPS has become nothing but delivery of JUNK mail.
Ever stand in a post office with PO boxes and watch people go through there mail...half of it goes straight to the garbage/ recycle bin!
After talking to USPS workers 5 days a week- the problem is the management. They will take one employee out of a station have them travel to another and then turn around and get another employee travel to one that - the one just came from- all the while PAYING for travel ( miles ) and they are on the clock when the enter there car...these are station workers not delivery people - waste waste waste...
I have stocked piled priority boxes before they get smart and start charging for them.

This CD cover image released by Universal Nashville shows "The Outsiders," by Eric Church. (AP Photo/Universal Nashville)
Eric Church, "The Outsiders" (EMI Nashville)
Eric Church is developing two separate and distinct personalities that seem to wrestle each other in a glorious battle royal on his fourth and best album, "The Outsiders."
There's that guy Chief, with the hat and sunglasses and the love of rock `n' roll, whiskey, stubborn streaks and fistfights. And then there's the version of Church who wins (or loses) the girl, stirs moments of universal reverie and tickles the funny bone with program director-wooing hits that appeal to country music's bedrock fan base.
Both these guys are at their best on "The Outsiders," one-upping each other with songs that embrace the breadth and history of country music while ignoring those conventions to explore far afield. Managing this trick requires a delicate touch, and Church and producer Jay Joyce push the limits while maintaining a balance that leaves a little something for everyone.
Don't like the heavy rock riffs and leather jacket-clad message of the Black Sabbath-leaning title song? Well, there's the tear-jerker ballad "A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young."
Tired of the paint-by-numbers party songs that flood radio? His answer is "Cold One," which offers a twist on a tired theme. Need a couples song for you and your new country gal? Try "Talladega," which somehow turns auto racing into an epic love poem. "Give Me Back My Hometown" is straight up nostalgia. And if that's not your thing, there's the rock-informed "Dark Side," "That's Damn Rock & Roll" and "The Joint" to go with your shot and beer back.
Tempo-shifting "Roller Coaster Ride" and funky country "Broke Record" use sonic interpretations of Church's lyrics to rev up things. The organ on "Like a Wrecking Ball" and the trumpet at the end of "The Joint" are delightful moments that show Church is confident that his listeners are his to command. He even tries his hand at spoken-word noir on "Devil, Devil." The album is full of little flourishes like these that aren't necessary but show a restless creativity that requires repeated listening.
"The Outsiders" is the rare album that invites debate, and asks us to take sides. In this case, pick freely. You can't lose.

Group calls for end to 'hate speech' on TV, by candidates
WASHINGTON — The nation's largest Latino civil rights group launched an offensive Thursday against what its leader called "open and ugly" anti-immigrant "hate speech" by political candidates and commentators on cable news channels.
Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, said anti-immigration activists have inflamed the debate over the hot-button social issue by describing illegal immigrants as "swarms" of "invaders" who want to take over the U.S.
"Their rhetoric has been adopted by the mainstream media . . . and too often welcomed by . . . the presidential candidates," Murguia said. "We can't have that kind of language go unchecked and unfiltered any longer."
La Raza, which boasts a network of nearly 300 community-based organizations in 41 states, launched a Web site, http://www.wecanstopthehate.org, to document what Murguia said were the most inflammatory comments by TV commentators such as CNN's Lou Dobbs and anti-immigration advocates such as Jim Gilchrest of the Minuteman Project.
The organization also called on the heads of CNN, the Fox News Channel and MSNBC to tone down the rhetoric of its commentators and stop allowing appearances by some immigration foes.
Murguia said La Raza wanted executives at Fox, CNN and MSNBC "to take the hate and vigilante groups off the air." And, she asked for political candidates to pledge "to renounce hate speech and sever their ties with . . . hate groups."
In particular, Murguia singled out:
n CNN's Lou Dobbs, who she said "routinely provides a platform for vilifying immigrants on his Broken Borders' segment," a regular feature on Dobbs' nightly broadcast.
n MSNBC commentator Pat Buchanan, who has written a book denouncing illegal immigration.
n Radio and TV personality Glenn Beck, who once described on-air a fake ad created by a listener about fuel made from the bodies of illegal Mexican immigrants.
The National Council of La Raza also asked for Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to renounce an endorsement from Gilchrest, the Minuteman Project co-founder who proudly describes himself as a vigilante.
Calls to CNN's public relations department were not returned. But Dobbs has previously said on his show that he is trying to engage citizens in public discourse over an important topic — border security.
Dobbs relishes pointed on-air debate with immigration advocates, lecturing them on his support for legal immigration while decrying the illegal kind as a threat to the nation's legal structure, social services and economy.
Stacy Burdett, the associate director of government and national affairs for the Anti-Defamation League, a group that works to combat anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds, said viewers are desensitized by harsh rhetoric about illegal immigration.
Burdett said the leaders of anti-immigration groups sometimes describe illegal immigrants as invaders, dehumanize them as "hordes," and claim they help spread disease.

Thornburg Insurance wins tourney
SPRING VALLEY -- As Thornburg Insurance's Joda Burgess ran down the court with Team Riggs' captain Jamie Riggs in Sunday afternoon's "A" Division championship game at the Valleyball 3-on-3 tournament, the tournament took a step back to the beginnings of its growth.
There was the grit, the hustle, the disagreements on foul calls and everything associated with street hoops with bragging rights on the line.
But there was also mutual respect between two friends who have been battling for a long time and have helped build the event into one of the premier tournaments in the area.
It was fitting to see the two chatting it up on the court as they looked to be the last team standing.
"I think my first year was '97, but back then, there were only 14 or 15 teams in it," Burgess said. "We played in it for 9-10 straight years against each other before I took a few years off. Here we are in 2013, both of us in our 30s and doing this crazy stuff still.
"I looked at him at one point in the game and said, 'How are we still here doing this?' Every year we've been doing this, we've played in the championship against each other."
wvwIn the end, Burgess and Thornburg Insurance got the 54-46 win in the 'A' Division championship after Team Riggs had forced a winner-take-all game with an overtime win in the first championship of the double-elimination tournament.
While Burgess -- the former Marshall standout -- and Riggs grabbed most of the attention, it was the play of former Huntington High and Tennessee hoopster Tanner Wild that sparked the win.
Wild, who drove in from Atlanta for the tournament, scored 13 of his team-high 18 points in the second half to lead Thornburg to the victory.
"I told everybody that if I lost again, I didn't know if I could come back," Wild said. "That's a long trip and I just couldn't take losing the title again."
Wild said the 7 1/2-hour journey will be a much-easier one now that he has the title under his belt, but what keeps bringing him back is the atmosphere of the tournament and those fun matchups, such as the one with Riggs and Burgess.
"I think it's awesome because those guys who are a little bit older come out here and they really compete and battle with us younger guys," Wild said. "I watched Joda at Marshall and it's awesome to come out here and play on a team with him after having watched him with the Herd."
In the 'B' Division, Fear the Beard came back from the loser's bracket to win two straight games over Western Southern, including a 62-58 win in the winner-take-all title game.
For team captain Dave Kazee, it was his first title in 10 years of playing in the Valleyball Tournament, and he was thrilled to don the champions T-shirt -- the only prize other than bragging rights that goes to the victors.
Kazee said he looks forward to defending his title next year and is already looking forward to the 2014 edition of the three-day tournament.
"I'll always come back until I can't do it anymore," Kazee said. "It's a reunion every year."
While Kazee had been around for a little while, the tournament was the first for former Chesapeake standout Javon Thompson, who finished with 25 points to lead Fear The Beard.

text: The Ice Maiden wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 10/15/14 09:04PM View full history OriginFor country and honor !Sigrid Nansen grew up in Norway, the daughter of a biochemistry specialist working with a group of scientists who were trying to duplicate the powers of Norway's legendary Ice-people. Sigrid felt her mother pressuring her to volunteer to be a possible test subject and would actually be accepted for the role. After a series of experiments she was given the ability to produce large amounts of ice-and snow, survive in severe cold temperatures, and change her appearance into a blue skinned meta-human. The Norwegian Government than developed the identity of Ice-Maiden and trained and outfitted her for field work. She would shortly later join the Global Guardians as her country's representative, and as Ice-Maiden would assist them on occasion.Story ArcWhen the Norwegian government would later discover the real Ice-people hidden location, one of their number, their princess Tora Olafsdotter, also joined the Global Guardians. Tora made Sigrid feel somewhat inadequate and uncomfortable with the second string feeling she had. Sigrid decided to quit the team and went back home to Norway broken spirited and threw herself into researching her meta-human powers. However when Tora, who was known as Ice, would later be killed by the Overmaster while a member of the Justice League of America, Sigrid revived the name of Ice-Maiden in honor of her. Having improved her ability to control her cold based powers and having found an inner peace with her issues, she joined Wonder Woman's open call to heroes as a member of the JLA for a brief time.A hero rebornShe reconnected with her former teammate and opposite Fire, who when they were members of the Global Guardians was possibly her closest friend. Fire would demonstrate her own compounded issues due to the death of her best friend Ice and became overprotective of Sigrid. Sigrid decided to help Fire deal with those issues and confronted her dressed as Tora in her Ice outfit and a wig. Fire was shocked and angered by Sigrid's openness with her feelings and her attempt to make Fire deal with her regret over Ice's death. Alongside with it, Sigrid's coming out of the closet as bisexual left Fire confused by Sigrid's feelings for her. Sigrid became close friends with Atom-Smasher, calling himself Nuklon at the time, and a credible team player as a Justice Leaguer. When the teams roster changed she returned to Norway and would be active with the Global Guardians for a short time.When the Crimson Fox decided to attempt for the second time a Justice League International she asked Ice-Maiden to join up and Sigrid accepted. Unbeknown to the Crimson Fox Ice-Maiden had been sent on a wild goose chase of a mission by the villain known as the Mist II. The Mist II would than alter her appearance and masquerade as Ice-Maiden, successfully deceiving the rest of the team and killing all the other members one by one on their first and last mission. Ice-Maiden would later be seen at times assisting her former allies in both the Justice League and the Global Guardians, and joined Wonder Woman's forces again to assist against Circe.Stolen dreams,stolen skin.The unfortunate fate of Ice-Maiden is yet to be seen in the D.C Universe. In recent panels of the Justice Society, Sigrid would be a captive of Deadly Winter who had her perfectly unwrinkled skin flayed and transplanted of her body. At this time Sigrid is in a vat of special nutrient rich solvents to halt her shock ridden body from freezing itself solid. There is a fair possibility that she will make a complete and successful recovery of her skin growth, this however is yet to be seen.PowersIce queen in controlOriginally Ice-Maiden could lower the temperature of her surroundings to a limited degree, thereby creating ice and snow in varying degrees. She has since gained the ability to turn larger surroundings into colder temperatures, and gained longer control over it. She can also freeze the moisture in the air and can create objects such as slides, shields, ladders, projectiles, and various objects depending on the moisture in the air and her own imagination. She can form ice on different parts of her body and in this ice covered form, she can augment her strength and stamina. She has demonstrated the ability to animate small ice forms by creating figures and through rapid freezing and unfreezing of their structure, and thus creating movement. These figures do not gain intelligence, and she is still in the developmental stage of this ability as it requires much concentration.

South Carolina is a beautiful state.
Tourism is this state's top industry, bringing in over $15 billion to our economy each year. Out-of-staters want to come to South Carolina and visit our historic cities, pristine beaches, and breathtaking mountains.
The problem is that they also want to send us their garbage. A bill in the South Carolina Legislature would make it easier for out-of-state waste companies to ship garbage by rail and barge to be deposited in South Carolina for eternity. South Carolina is our beautiful state. While we welcome our out-of-state friends, we don't want to be a dumping ground for their garbage and sewer sludge.
House Bill 3290, cleverly named the "Business Freedom to Choose Act," if passed, would result in more out-of-state waste being shipped to and disposed of in South Carolina landfills.
We currently have 17 landfills in our state. Nine are public and eight private, although private landfills handle 75 percent of the waste. We can only prevent out-of-state garbage from being dumped in publicly owned landfills.
The Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution prevents government at any level from prohibiting out-of-state waste in a private landfill. This bill sets the stage for large private waste companies, Waste Management and Republic Services, to create more trash mountains with out-of-state garbage.
House Bill 3290 would prohibit a county or municipality from directing that solid waste within its jurisdiction be disposed of at a particular landfill.
Without this ability, funding to open, operate and close public landfills will be jeopardized. Private waste companies could then lower their landfill fees temporarily, even at a loss, to take business away from our public landfill facilities. With declining revenue, local governments would be forced either to raise taxes to cover the loss or to sell the landfill to a private waste company. In this case, the best financial decision for the county would be to sell. Once private companies own all of the landfills in the area, they can progressively raise prices on South Carolina residents and import lucrative out-of-state waste. We would be helpless to stop them.
Over 200,000 tons of garbage were sent by rail from New York to South Carolina just last year. This is just a small portion of the over 3 million tons of garbage that New York ships and buries in out-of-state landfills each year. With states between New York and South Carolina that accept out-of-state waste approaching capacity, closing their landfills or closing their borders to out-of-state waste, there will be increasing pressure to find somewhere to find somewhere to put New York's garbage.
Coupled with the City of New York's plans to build maritime transfer stations and ship garbage out by barge, South Carolina is likely to see more out-of-state waste.
Another factor to consider is that New York pays well over $100 a ton to dispose of its garbage. In South Carolina, the average fee is only $38 per ton. This fee disparity is a significant incentive for private waste companies to put public landfills out of business and purchase their landfill capacity. These private companies would then be able to fill that capacity with lucrative out-of-state waste and we would have no legal authority to prevent it.
Don't let someone else's garbage foul up our state.
Again, we welcome our friends from out of state, but not their garbage.
Help us keep South Carolina beautiful for tourism by keeping out-of-state waste out of state.
Call your legislators and urge them to vote "No" on House Bill 3290.
Richard H. Rosebrock of Summerville is a former Dorchester County councilman. The county's nature park on the Ashley River is named for him.

Man is arrested in drugs crackdown
Posted: August 11, 2013|
A MAN from the Staffordshire Moorlands has been arrested as part of an area-wide drugs operation.
The 45-year-old from Wallbridge Drive, Leek, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs, and was taken for questioning at Staffordshire Police's Northern Area Custody Facility at Etruria.
He was later released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Police arrested a total of nine men across Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas last Wednesday, July 31.

Staffordshire Police officers, together with colleagues from the Serious Organised Crime Agency, executed warrants under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
They targeted the addresses after gathering information through intelligence inquiries and from members of the public.
The men arrested were: A 33-year-old from Abbey Lane, Abbey Hulton; a 45-year-old from Wallbridge Drive, Leek; a 46-yearold from Allendale Walk, Blurton; and a 26-year-old from Beverley Drive, Bentilee.
Officers also arrested a 32-yearold from Verona Grove, Meir Hay; a 35-year-old from Broadway; and a 24-year-old from Moss Green Road, Bentilee.
Detailed searches of the addresses, and any associated vehicles, took place.
Police confirmed that two further arrests were also made the same day – a 22-year-old man at an address in Lower Mayer Street, Hanley, and a 47-year-old man at an address in Broadway, Meir.
The arrests were part of Operation Nemesis, the force's ongoing drive to tackle drugs.
As part of the operation officers seized several thousand pounds in cash and undisclosed quantities of cocaine, cannabis and amphetamines.
They also seized property including mobile phones and expensive designer watches.
Chief Superintendent Juliet Prince, policing commander for Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire, said: "Our commitment to tackling drug dealers, and those who benefit from such crime, is ongoing.
"Wednesday's arrests send out a clear message to the communities we serve.
"Staffordshire Police will not tolerate drug misuse and we will take dealers, and their associates, off the streets.
"We cannot continue this work without the help and support of local people, and the information they provide about crime in their community is imperative.
"I would ask that the public continue to let us know about such issues so we can take the appropriate action.
"Together with our partners we will continue to take a tough stance on criminals involved in drugs and related anti-social behaviour." Last Wednesday's operation was supported by officers, and a specialist drugs dog, from the Serious Organised Crime Agency.
Following the arrests high-visibility patrols by local neighbourhood officers were carried out in the relevant areas to reassure local residents.
A police spokesman added: "The Staffordshire Moorlands does not have a significant problem with drugs, with a reduction in drugs offences between April and July 2013 in comparison to the same period in 2012, of 48 compared to 55.
"Operation Nemesis is Staffordshire Police's ongoing commitment to targeting drug dealers – we aim to get those who deal drugs off our streets and bring them to justice, reducing drug related crimes and anti-social behaviour in our communities."
Anyone with information about drug dealing in their community is encouraged to contact Staffordshire Police on 101 or through independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 111555, or go on line at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Round out your PPM608 with this Mackie product:
12" Two-way Passive Loudspeaker
Undeniable Power!
Ultra-light and completely self-contained, the Mackie PPM1008 professional powered mixer features two ridiculously robust power amps for mains and/or monitors (800W + 800W). With 1600 watts of system power, the PPM1008 is in a class of its ownfully capable of powering a huge system (try a couple S215s AND a pair of C300s!) We custom designed the PPM1008 with Class-D amps, which are cool-running and boast maximum efficiency, keeping your sound pumping until they start kicking people out. We had to include Mackie's proven Fast Recovery circuitry, eliminating the risk of pesky amp latching. The result is a distortion free mix even when pushing peak levels. The built-in limiter can go toe-to-toe with the most popular outboard stereo limiters used in live sound today, protecting your speakers from damage. The limiter's attack and release times are specifically selected to address full-bandwidth music and will not muddy things up by adding any unwanted pumping. PPM mixers are surprisingly lightweight, but tremendously powerful. You can push the PPM1008 to its maximum output, distortion free!
The Right Tools for the Job
Most powered mixers out there have either a limited set of mixing tools—keeping your mix decidedly average—or they cram in a mind-boggling amount of lame effects that you would never use. Every professional carries the right tools for the job, so the PPM1008 comes with a great-sounding, highly useable toolkit:
"Gig Ready" Effects
The all-new RMFX+ (Running Man FX) 32-bit effects processor brings "gig ready," useable effects to your mixes. Why scroll through hundreds of bizarre effects, like "ghost ambience?" Yeah, like anyone even knows what that means. Or how about winners like "delay+phaser2", which you'll never use in a million years. Those other mixers will leave your fingers raw from all the scrolling you have to do. The RMFX+ processor features 24 solid FX that are known for their utility and usability. Small, medium and large room reverbs with the choice of a warm or bright characteristic put your mix in the right space. Simple, rich choruses and an array of practical delays enable you to create professional mixes without requiring a two-hour sound check. Also, the RMFX+ is the first onboard processor to feature a user tap function. So if you want to use a delay, but our preset delay time doesn't work, you can tap it in instantly! Basically, we've delivered a full rack of gear at your fingertips that is easy to master, allowing you to look really and sound really good at your next gig. Really, really good.
Absolutely Armored
The PPM1008 is fully armored inside a solid steel chassis, helping to protect the electronics from any potential environmental hazard (Think beer.) Extremely durable polycarbonate ABS end caps will protect the PPM1008 from years of abuse caused by tossing it in and out of the truck or falling off the stool at rehearsal. Each PPM1008 features rounded front with recessed controls, so if it rolls on its face in the van or gets kicked over at the show, you can be sure that it will emerge damage-free. Two metal side handles allow you to easily pick it up and get going. It's ultra-light so you won't need both hands!
Matching Made Easy
Look, we want to make things as easy for you as possible. Matching speakers to amps can suck the fun out of an otherwise pleasant trip to the music store. Keeping that in mind, PPM mixers and Mackie passive speakers were made for each other. We even included the one-touch Precision Passive EQ button, which is designed to make our speakers sound better than ever. From our popular C series (C300/200) to our S series (S200/S400), we designed our mixer to match the power requirements of our passive speakers perfectly. Try driving a pair of S225 15" speakers off someone else's mixer. You can almost smell the smoke now! Yet this is child's play using a PPM and a pair of our S225's. We easily provide enough power for a complete system. In fact, we've got the bollocks to drive two of our S215 15" 2-way speakers off the mains AND a pair of C300s as Monitors without needing outboard amps. Others may try but, ultimately, don't provide the necessary power.
So if you want a truly professional set of tools for your next gig, including a Mackie mixer, onboard compressors, Fast Recovery amplification, twin graphic EQs, and "gig-ready" effects, pair up a PPM1008 and any Mackie Precision Passive loudspeakers for the ultimate, portable, professional P.A. system.

A hundred years ago in 1911, the capital of imperial India was transferred from Calcutta to Delhi. That same year, the foundation of New Delhi was laid by King George V and Queen Mary at the site of Delhi Durbar at Kingsway Camp, in present day's north campus of Delhi University. We commemorate the defining century by taking a look at some of the landmarks in the city from that period, which have withstood the test of time.Maidens Hotel, Civil Lines A low-rise building with colonial architecture done in white paint, this heritage hotel was established in 1903. The Cavalry, the hotel's in-house bar opened during those times, is still functioning. If you want to catch the magnificent and charming historic moments of the city, visit the hotel, which has hundreds of photographs dating back to the early 1900s, adorning its walls.Tel: 011- 2397 5464Nearest Metro Station: Civil LinesOld Delhi railway stationThis red-stone building, built in the year 1900, was opened to the public in 1903. Initially, it started with two platforms, but now has 19 platforms. And by the way, Old Delhi Railway station is often referred to as 'Delhi Junction'. Nearest Metro Station: Chandni ChowkDelhi Durga Puja Samiti (Kashmere Gate Durga Puja)This is the oldest Durga puja committee in the city, which had started in 1910. Initially, the Puja celebrations, held annually during the month of September or October., used to take place at Roshanpura Kali Mandir near Nai Sadak. Now they have moved to Alipur Road in north Delhi. Nearest Metro Station: Kashmere Gate
Paranthewali GaliSeveral shops selling paranthas in the Paranthewali Gali in Chandni Chowk have been around for more than 100 years. Kanhaiya Lal Durga Prasad's Parantha Shop is the oldest — it was established in 1875. When the shop started, it used to sell four kinds of stuffed paranthas. Now it has more than 25 varieties. Nearest Metro Station: Chandni ChowkSt. Stephen's College This college was founded in 1881. It started in a house in Kinnari Bazar in old Delhi. In 1891, the college was moved to Kashmere Gate. It got shifted to its present location, in Delhi University's North Campus, in 1941. Nearest Metro Station: Vishwavidyalaya.

so in effect they did not "take away the firearms" they now can control firearms by preventing them from being bought by "prohibited" people?
what if the government "prohibits" about everyone from owning one?
sounds like EU BS to me, or mexico--
Why is the government "Prohibiting" anyone from doing anything addressed in the Bill of Rights? What powers were supposed to be limited by the Constitution again?
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
lawyeriease= "prohibited" and "qualified" that means the gov can say WHO can have a firearm or not.
and since they define who is qualified or prohibited the gov can change its tune on a whim--at any given time.
has anybody up there got a pair? somebody needs to stand up to this utter BS!
It is a good thing that this is not law, yet. Let's hope that when they do debate these laws, more people stand up to it. Now is the time to voice your opinion to your reps.

Sorry Disney week is beginning a week late.
Before my first trip to Disney, I assumed that Walt Disney World was just a basic theme park, only, you know, bigger. Whoa, was I wrong! Turns out, Walt Disney World is a resort that happens to have four theme parks on its grounds. At over 45 square miles (all seemingly beautifully landscaped and tidy), Disney is no mere theme park.
It offers places to stroll, leisurely boats to ride, hammocks to hang out on and read a book, and cute shops. Plus, of course, there are rides, firework shows, and Mickey.
And dining! My goodness! The dining! There are over 200 dining options on the grounds and most of them offer gluten-free and/or allergen-friendly dining options. So this week at GlutenFreeBaking.com, we're talking about all the ins and outs of dining gluten-free at Disney.
But before we talk about meal plans, restaurant reviews, and the foods I think you MUST try, let's first talk about how to order a gluten-free/allergen-friendly meal.
Table Service and Quick Service
Quick Service restaurants do NOT require a reservation. At first, I assumed that counter service restaurants would only offer "fast food" fare. While some offer only burgers and hot dogs, most serve an impressive range of foods--from roasted chickens to make your own salads to African stew. So be sure to give a quick service restaurant a try. And if you have the dining plan, you probably will eat at least one meal a day at a quick service restaurant. (We'll talk about the dining plan tomorrow.)
Table Service restaurants require a reservation (more on that in a minute) and during your meal a waiter/waitress attends to your table--even at buffet-type restaurants where a server handles your drink order and special requests. Table service restaurants range from VERY upscale (Victoria and Albert's) to very casual (Mickey's Backyard Barbeque.)
Disney's dining website lists whether a restaurant is counter service or table service.
Make Your "Dream" Dining List
Start by looking over Disney's list of restaurants. See what grabs you. When planning a Disney trip, I select restaurants that offer foods that are hard to find gluten-free at home. Gluten-free African cuisine? Sounds good and isn't something I can find in Troy, NY. I put Sanaa on my list. If I feel like gluten-free Southern fried chicken? I put 50's Prime Time cafe on the list. Reading the different menus is my favorite part of my trip planning process.
2. Make reservations. Make reservations. Make reservations.
This applies to "table service" restaurants only
Hey! Did I mention that you need to make reservations for your trip to Disney? You do. Seriously. With over 200 places to eat, you'd think that it would be no problem to just stroll up to any restaurant and grab a table. That really isn't the case. If you don't have a reservation, you might not find a table. (Counter service restaurants will be available to you without reservations. So you won't starve.)
Disney opens up their reservations (called "Advanced Dining Reservations" or "ADRs") 180 days prior to your desired dining date. I know what you're thinking. "That's nuts!" How will I know where I want to eat 180 days from now?" I totally get that. When I planned the trip with my mom, I thought the same thing.
However...early planning really worked out. And I did it again for my recent trip with Greg.
Here's how I plan: First, I head to TouringPlans.com. It's a nifty site that tells you on a scale of one to ten the predicted crowd level for each park. Just plug in your travel dates and you'll see which park is "recommended" and which park(s) you should avoid for each day of your trip. I'm always amazed that one park might be REALLY busy while another enjoys light crowds.
Since Disney is always a busy place, I use TouringPlans.com and plan to visit the park with the predicted lightest crowds each day of my visit. (Touringplans.com isn't an offical Disney site and it requires a membership. The $15.00 or so dollars is so totally worth it.)
How does this affect my dining? Well, if, for example, on the Monday of my trip the Magic Kingdom was a "recommended" park, I look at what restaurants are around the Magic Kingdom. I also include the restaurants that are located in the hotels on the monorail line. After looking over the menus, I decided where I wanted to eat and book my reservation. When I arrive at Disney, I know that on Monday I'm headed to the Magic Kingdom and I'm eating at "Be Our Guest" restaurant. Easy peasy.
Now that might sound like a drag if you're someone who wants to wake up and just "explore." But Disney isn't a city waiting to surprise you. It's similar in size to a city, sure, but it's a resort. Having a plan doesn't hinder spontaneity; it helps it. Not having to decide where we we're going each day of our vacation allows us to explore more freely than if we did our planning when we woke up each morning. Plus, by using the crowd predictors, we enjoy a park that isn't as busy as it's sister parks--something I could not guess on my own.
Now back to those dining reservations. When you book your reservation, this nifty screen pops up:
Simply note your allergies/intolerances and you are all set. (Well, you're all set until you get to the restaurant. More about that in a second.)
Of course, there is no "suggested time" to dine with food allergies. However, I'd like to suggest one: If possible, don't go during the height of service.
Restaurants are busy places. Run by people. And you know what happens to even the best person when they are busy: they can make a mistake. To prevent this before it happens, I dine during somewhat "off" hours while at Disney. I eat lunch around 1:30 and dinner after 7:00. If off-hours dining works for your family, I suggest it!
3. Note your Special Diet When You Arrive.
Whether you are dining at a table service or quick service restaurant, you NEED to mention your special diet when you arrive.
If you are at a table service restaurant and noted your allergies/intolerances on your reservations, they *might* have that in your file. In my experience, most of the time the hostess greeted me with, "And who in your party is gluten-free?" If this doesn't happen, be sure to say something right away about your gluten-free needs. This way, the host/hostess notes it and your server will have the information she needs to serve you a safe meal.
At a quick service restaurant, walk up to one of the workers and kindly say , "Hi! I'm gluten-free (have food allergies) and I need to speak to the chef before ordering." This is key!
Don't place your order--at any Disney restaurant--without first speaking to the Chef or manager. Gluten-free meals use special ingredients and are usually prepared in a separate area. A chef or manager needs to handle this for you. Even though it might seem easier, don't order something that seems gluten-free without speaking to someone first. Something as basic as a salad needs to be ordered specially and handled safely to ensure it comes to you gluten-free.
In my experience, the chef arrives to see you pretty quickly at a table service restaurant. They'll listen to your needs and walk you through the menu, pointing out what they are able to make gluten-free. In a busy quick service restaurant, you might have to wait about ten minutes. The wait is worth it. If after ten minutes, a chef doesn't come out to see you, ask to see her again. She might not have received your message in the busy kitchen.
4. Ask questions.
Whether I'm at Disney or another restaurant, I always ask questions prior to placing my order. Ask the Chef how your meal will be handled. Remember to ask if gloves are changed, if a dedicated gluten-free fryer is used, and if separate utensils are used when preparing and cutting your food.
5. Enjoy!

Jack is Back
For those of us who loved the series 24, today is a very important day in our lives: Jack Bauer is back tonight in 24: Live Another Day, which is being called a "Limited Edition Television Event," which I think we used to call a "Miniseries," which I'm going to hope translates to "if the show is successful, they'll bring it back permanently."
I watched a few episodes of 24 early in its run but completely fell off the wagon until last year, when Marlboro Man and I watched the entire series, four episodes at a time, when it aired every week on cable. We loved every single episode and it cemented my love for Jack Bauer, the character. He is fearless. He is unflinching.
And he never has to go to the bathroom or charge his phone.
I don't know much about 24: Live Another Day, except that it's set four years after the conclusion of Season 8, there are twelve episodes, and it features Jack/Keifer Sutherland (of course), Chloe/Mary Lynn Rajskub, and some of the other familiar characters you'll remember. At least the ones that are still alive. (Note: I'm crushed that Tony Almeida/Carlos Bernard won't be featured in this series; correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't die, right? I know he turned evil and started abetting terrorists and everything, but redemption is possible for everyone. Come back, Tony! Right your wrongs!)
I have things to do today. End-of-year schoolwork, cooking, cleaning, and a long list of other things. And as I'm going about my work, the same three-word phrase keeps pulsing through my mind…over and over…almost in sync with my hearbeat.
Jack is back…Jack is back…Jack is back…

Hastening the Wheels of Change: International Cold War Pressure and Civil Rights Reform During the Truman Presidency
Date of Award
Document Type
Colby College. History Dept.
Robert S. Weisbrot
In the early Cold War arena, international pressure on the United States to live according to its ideological rhetoric enabled the Truman Administration to set a precedent for federal engagement in domestic civil rights reform. As the United States led the march to institutionalise human rights as the standard of moral legitimacy in the global arena, the country's grisly record of racial oppression and violence invited foreign and domestic criticism alike. This paper intends to prove five discrete points. First: Cold War tensions brought questions of moral legitimacy to the forefront of the U.S. national agenda. Second: during the Truman presidency, the country's ability to export democracy came to depend largely on its human rights record. Third: due to their belief in the principles of freedom and equality, President Harry S. Truman and his advisors at least tacitly supported legal and economic desegregation (though perhaps not social.) Fourth: foreign pressure on the United States to live according to its ideological rhetoric gave the Truman Administration the incentive to take action on an issue they were already rhetorically committed to. Finally, I argue that although most of the steps taken towards civil rights during the Truman presidency were more symbolic than substantive, the administration set a precedent for federal engagement with race discrimination that would continue throughout the twentieth century, and ultimately destroy the Jim Crow legal system and other institutions of racial oppression.

I found this coloured butterfly image when I was tidying up and knew that it would go beautifully with one of the Essence of Nature papers. This paper has been bleached out by the camera's flash a bit, but you can still see the soft greens and golden yellows that tie in so well with the daisy butterfly image. The stamped image has been coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils on watercolour paper and the decoupaged butterfly has a touch of stickles on it.
I got some more pics of Smokey yesterday, so hope to get those up for you soon. I have photographic proof that rabbits eat leylandii hedges!

As Congress considers approaches to transform the way the federal government acquires and utilizes information technology, the themes of "doing more for less" and "open data" have been advanced by many, including Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-DE).
The House of Representatives is considering ways to improve the management of IT within the federal government by strengthening the role of federal agency CIOs in an effort to promote data center optimization and reduce IT costs through greater use of cloud computing, as well as other reforms.
Moreover, the White House has initiated several IT transformation initiatives over the last several years, including policies to move forward the transition to cloud computing by federal agencies, more use of open data, and overall transformation of the federal government through its Digital Government Strategy.
As policymakers strive to better leverage IT, while also cutting waste and ultimately spending less on federal IT, innovation has never been more important. The federal government will have to innovate more with less.
King & Spalding's Government Advocacy and Public Policy Partner J.C. Boggs will be kicking off a July 10th Thought Leadership forum entitled "Using Cloud Computing to Build (Better and Cheaper) Next-Generation Government Services" hosted by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.
Come hear from government and industry leaders on federal IT transformation efforts as they discuss how they are innovating and how their lessons learned can be applied to the legislative, policy and acquisition processes that shape federal IT.

Unfortunately the love of my life, my sweet dog Abbey, who turned 14 last week, is in the vet hospital tonight. So instead of a new post I am putting a picture of her so you can see why I can't really write about anything else.

|Judge Information
Ms. Kathy M. Sawyer
(989) 893-9462
I finished my first Yorkshire Terrier in 1972. I bred many Group winning and Specialty winning dogs, plus two that were Best in Show all breed. I bred over 25 Champions under the Shadomountin kennel name, one of the more noted was Ch. Shadomuntin Steppin Up and Ch. Shadomountin Sparrow Hawk. Sparrow Hawk was the Top Producing Sire in the YTCA for two years in a row which was quite a feat since he became sterile by the time he was 6 years, siring 25 Champions.
I began handling first to be able to support showing my own dogs, but then it took over my world and breeding went by the wayside. I had the pleasure of showing some really great Pomeranians, the first special was Ch. Precious Petites Gabriel, he won 12 Best In Show all breed and over 50 group 1sts, Four other Poms were guided to Best In Shows and became top winners. I showed Shih Tzus, Pekes, Maltese, and never had the pleasure of getting to show anything that wasn't hairey!
I decided to begin my judging career in 2002, It was the natural course of events for me. I have taken my time and gone slow. I have not felt the need to rush. I want to learn the breeds I am to judge, and do the very the best that I can, the serious breeders deserve that. I love the comraderie between the judges, and I have made some great friends!
I did not grow up in dogs as some in the dog world have. I have no less love of the sport though, and will continue to give it my best!

Dear Editor:
I am trying to locate a gentleman from Moncks Corner. All I know about him is that he is a Baptist who drives a pickup. He was accompanied by a woman and a young boy, and I would guess his age between 30 and 40.
This man was a Godsend to me when I hit a deer on Interstate 95 about 20 miles south of Florence on Dec. 26, 2011. My wife and I were returning from a wonderful Christmas visit with my son in Charleston, heading to Maryland.
Upon stopping, he immediately exhibited initiative in assisting us. Fortunately we were not injured.
He had the presence of mind to pry open the hood and look for the fuse box of our car, to disconnect the horn that was blaring after the accident. In the confusion after the police arrived, he slipped away and I was unable to talk to him again.
I have had past experiences of kindness from the good people of South Carolina, but this gentleman should be especially recognized for his assistance in what could have been a major catastrophe.
I called the Northside Baptist Church and Moncks Corner Baptist Church to ask for their help in locating him, but to date have had no luck. I know there are a number of other Baptist churches in the area, so I thought a letter to the editor may help us located him so he can be properly thanked.
If anyone can help me, I would be most appreciative. My number is (239) 472-3473.
Thank you.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Porn Star James Deen Adresses Rumors About Him Playing Christian Grey
If James Deen can survive co-starring in a film with Lindsay Lohan, he can survive anything. Does that mean taking on one of the most coveted film roles in recent years?
James Deen is starring in the upcoming film, The Canyons, with Lindsay Lohan, and he has appeared in, ahem, nearly 4,000 adult films. So it would seem he might be more than qualified to play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
"It seems like a character I could have a lot of fun with," James tells Entertainment Weekly. "I've heard really mixed responses about it, like, 'Oh, it's a cheesy Twilight wannabe.'… [but] I think it could be fun. I feel like it could be a really cool, fun role to work on."
Of course, he's aware that he might not be the first name that a big movie studio would think of.
"I'm that porn guy," he admits. "As I understand, the rumors [for Christian] are some guy who's on a TV show on USA [Matt Bomer], some model dudes, and Ryan Gosling. I feel like me versus Ryan Gosling? There's an easy decision on where the studio is going to go."
"But if I got offered the role, I would definitely consider it," James continues. "If they wanted me to audition, I would absolutely go in and read for them."
James made headlines earlier this month when an audio recording surfaced of Lindsay Lohan yelling at him to do his "f**king job" on the set of their upcoming film.
So we're not sure if any fans of the book would like James as Christian, but it certainly sounds like he's interested.
Still, we must say we're not impressed that James had to go and diss Matt Bomer. Not cool, dude!

While the media tries to assess different aspects of Afzal Guru's hanging, the question arises what the execution means to a Kashmiri. I, a Kashmiri, feel it was reflective of a lack of vision in the Indian leadership. Thanks to New Delhi's insensitivity to Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah has been caught in some controversy or the other — the Shopian rape case, fake encounters, etc. All he seems to be doing is tackling the Centre's wrongdoings. The imposition of curfew in some parts of Kashmir after Afzal's execution is the most recent example.
Blaming Pakistan and the Hurriyat for all the wrongs in Kashmir has worked well for New Delhi over the last three decades as far as electoral politics is concerned. But this tactic has the potential to backfire. The Centre should work with the people of Kashmir and repeal laws like AFSPA which give huge powers to the security forces. Afzal Guru got a trial, although filled with contradictions, but there are thousands languishing in jails for years without any legal aid. Time has come for the Indian state to rethink its Kashmir policy.
Mudassir Ahmad,
The secret hanging and burial of Afzal Guru in Tihar Jail is unacceptable. "Law and order" is conveniently used to deny human rights. We are yet to come out of our colonial past when suppression and oppression were legitimate. A democratic country cannot be run by undemocratic methods.
K. Narayana Rao,
It is morally wrong on the government's part to have not informed Afzal Guru's family of his execution well in time. The responsibility for the delay should be fixed and the person concerned held accountable. This was not an ordinary goof-up; huge personal emotions were at stake.
Adhip Agarwala,
Writing editorials and reports empathising with Afzal Guru, thereby creating doubts in our system and democratic institutions which have stood the test of time, is not a responsible thing to do. Should we not spare a word or two for the police personnel and the gardener who lost their lives in the Parliament attack? Even their family members bid them goodbye on the fateful day with the hope of meeting them in the evening.
Suparna Banerjee,

What do ear tubes do?
Ear tubes are often needed in children. But how do they work?
According to the Mayo Clinic, an ear tube creates an airway the ventilates the middle ear and prevents fluid from accumulating.
Tubes are often put in children who have frequent ear infections or who have persistent fluid build up behind their eardrum. According to the Mayo Clinic, persistent fluid can affect a child's speech and hearing.
The Mayo Clinic states that most tubes fall out within six to 12 months. In some cases the tubes may need to be removed.

Under Terms of Nationwide Settlement DirecTV Must Pay $13.25 Million and Change Its Marketing Practices
MADISON – Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen today announced a settlement with DirecTV over allegations that DirecTV has engaged in deceptive advertising. Under the terms of the judgment, which will be filed in Dane County Circuit Court, DirecTV must change its marketing practices, pay the state $185,000, and provide restitution for injured Wisconsin consumers. The settlement is the result of an investigation in which 48 other states and the District of Columbia participated. DirecTV must pay a total of $13.25 million to the states, as well as provide restitution to consumers nationwide who have been injured by DirecTV's practices.
Numerous consumers have filed complaints alleging, among other things, that DirecTV:
The settlement requires DirecTV to:
The settlement also requires DirecTV to resolve consumer complaints about its practices. Unresolved complaints sent to DirecTV or the Attorney General that involve conduct addressed in the settlement and occurred after January 1, 2007 are eligible for the restitution program. Additionally, consumers can file a complaint with DirecTV or the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (at 1-800-422-7128) by June 9, 2011 to be considered for the restitution program as long as the complaint is about activity that occurred after January 1, 2007. DirecTV will attempt to resolve the complaints with consumers. If the complaint cannot be resolved, DirecTV shall inform the consumer that the complaint can be resolved by a Claims Administrator and mail a Claim Form to the consumer. The Claims Administrator will then resolve the dispute between the consumer and DirecTV.
The settlement is subject to approval by the Dane County Circuit Court. Assistant Attorney General John Greene represents the state in the action.

Nasri was recalled by Deschamps, who had previously snubbed the Manchester City midfielder after he was banned by the French Football Federation for three games following Euro 2012 after he abused a reporter.
Now Nasri will get a chance to build a relationship with Deschamps ahead of games with Brazil and Uruguay.
"I don't want to have any radical position on anything," said Deschamps.
"I will have an opportunity to talk with him alone, together. It will be the very first time in a year. But the past is past. He cannot go back or erase it.
"The most important criteria is the sporting aspect."
Deschamps reiterated that was also the reason for Patrice Evra's continued absence from the national fold.
"It is sporting choice," he added. "I decided to not call him-up. There is no privileged position for him and I told him."

Miley Cyrus got a lot of bad publicity for doing it on stage at the VMA's.
And now Twerking is getting its due as an entry in the dictionary.
The Oxford English Dictionary is adding the word "Twerk" as a verb to its online repository.
Twerk is apparently not a recent creation.
The dictionary editors say the term has been around for 20 years.
Apparently, it started as a variation of "work."
In its quarterly update of current english, Oxford is also adding "fauxhawk" (foe-hawk), "phablet" (fab-let) And "selfie."

One of the first views from NASA's Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars the evening of August 5, 2012, is seen in this handout image released by NASA. It was taken through a "fisheye" wide-angle lens on one of the rover's Hazard-Avoidance cameras and shows the shadow of the rover on the Martian surface.
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) team in the MSL Mission Support Area reacts after learning the Curiosity rover has landed safely on Mars and images start coming into the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California.
NASA's most advanced Mars rover, Curiosity, has landed on the Red Planet. The one-ton rover, hanging by ropes from a rocket backpack, touched down onto Mars early Monday EDT to end a 36-week flight and begin a two-year investigation.
The target landing area for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission is the ellipse marked on this image of Gale Crater. The ellipse is about 12 miles long and 4 miles wide (20 kilometers by 7 kilometers).
Memorial to the first (fictitious) Martian landing on Earth at Grover's Mill, New Jersey, made famous in Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds.

Pretty Little Liars
Behind the Music of Pretty Little Liars: Hayley Taylor's Sweet Indie Pop
Singer-songwriter Hayley Taylor has already been hailed by indie bible Pitchfork as "refreshingly unassuming" and by media titan Entertainment Weekly as "a rising star of the indie music scene." So having her song featured on Pretty Little Liars? Just another feather in her cap.
"It's been really exciting to be part of such a great show," Hayley told Wetpaint exclusively, "and to have my music featured on it alongside other artists I really admire. I think the show has a very creative premise and a terrific cast, and I'm excited to see what happens on the rest of the season." (Us too, Hayley!) Viewers heard Hayley's song, "What's Going On," in Season 1, Episode 11, "Moments Later," during the sequence where Mona and Hanna reconcile over a makeover in the hospital. "What's Going On" is an jangly slice of indie pop that provided a perfect soundtrack to that moment of girl-bonding.
But don't think that Hayley's just another pretty face in the already crowded market of indie popstrels: The prolific songwriter has a BA in Literature from New York's prestigious Vassar College, as well as an MFA in Art and time spent studying at La Sorbonne in Paris. She's also worked with the same producers who have helmed hits for artists like Ingrid Michaelson and Matt Nathanson, and her latest album, One Foot In Front of the Other, fits nicely alongside those stars; it's a record of sophisticated indie-pop, featuring charming lyrics and sweet vocals.
"Songwriting is a cathartic experience for me — it helps me express what often goes unspoken and allows me to process my feelings. It enables me to create something beautiful out of the joys and struggles of life, capturing in words and music the fleeting breakthroughs of clarity," Hayley explains of her process. Snag her new album via iTunes, and keep an eye out for more of Hayley's music on your favorite shows.

Odd Future rappers Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt are scheduled to play Bend's Midtown Ballroom on May 10. But last night, they were in New York City to perform on "Late Show with David Letterman," which they did alongside their buddy Domo Genesis. They did a song called "Rusty" from Tyler's new album "Wolf."
You can watch it below, but Bendites should pay special attention to the exchange that comes at around 4:55 of the clip.
If you missed it:
Letterman: "You guys ever been to Bend, Oregon?"
Tyler: "Yeah, I don't know what that is."
Between this and Bend's brief appearance in that Facebook Home ad, yesterday was a big day in terms of our town popping up in weird places.
