Homophobic Asshole Throws Other Homophobic Asshole Out of Men's Rights Movement for Homophobic Assholery
I don't want to make this blog the A Voice for Men Show, but that little hangout of angry dudes has really been outdoing itself in recent days. Take site founder and chief egomaniac Paul Elam's post the other day reading the riot act to another Men's Rights activist for being a homophobic asshole.
Specifically, an Australian bloke named Chris Key, whom Elam describes as "a true misogynist, homophobe and all around asshole who claims to be an MRA."
Regular readers of this blog may recall Key from a visit he paid to the comments section here recently, lambasting "feminazi dykes and cunts — as well as the mangina losers who were sniffing around for a sympathy fuck" for, among other things, for using "foul, aggressive language." Yes, there is a teensy bit of irony there.
[Let me just put a trigger warning here for the violently homophobic language in the next couple of quotes from Key.]
Key is indeed a pretty foul excuse for a human being. On his site, Men's Rights Online, his avatar is an animated gif of a boot, captioned "these boots were made for kicking feminists in the cunt." In addition to kicking virtual feminists he devotes much of his attention to attacking "fags" and "dykes." In one recent thread in the subforum devoted to "The Militant Fag/Dyke Agenda," he offered this bit of wisdom:
I think the death penalty should be assigned to all persons who practice faggotry and dykism. The people who practice that lifestyle are destroying society.
The law system might have decriminalised faggotry, but nature hasn't. HIV is a stark reminder that nature does not tolerate faggotry
In another comment he went even further. You might ask: how is it possible to go further than that? Here's how. Responding to another commenter who had suggested that "fags are better off nailed to a fence post," Key added:
Only problem with nailing fags to a fence post is it might allow one of their contagious diseases to infect a normal Human. The best thing the government can do is kill them and burn their carcasses. Society needs to be protected from these monsters.
Shortly after his visit to Man Boobz, Key stopped in to visit with his comrades over in the comments section of AVFM, where he aroused Elam's ire by calling one of AVFM's female followers a "fag enabler."
And so Elam, who seems to think he's the Emperor of MRALand, has declared him persona non grata in the Men's Rights movement.
But that's a good thing, right? I mean, Key is such a noxious shit he should probably be thrown out of any movement he's a part of, right? (Except perhaps organizations promoting gay-bashing and "cunt-kicking" in Eastern Australia.) Haven't I been arguing since, like, forever that Men's Rightsers who need to get rid of the real haters?
Well, yes. It's just that there is a eensy weensy teensy tiny bit of hypocrisy in Elam's moralizing. Because A Voice for Men, in addition to being a misogynist cesspool, is itself overflowing with homophobia and transphobia, much of it coming from Elam himself. Elam's description of Key as "a true misogynist, homophobe and all around asshole" is a perfect description of himself as well.
Consider: The site's slur of choice for men who aren't raging misogynists is, you may recall, "mangina," an insult that pulls off a veritable trifecta of bigotry, being homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic all at once. It's telling that Elam et al can't really think of a worse insult than to suggest that men they don't like are effeminate not-quite-men with feminized genitalia. (Elam says he's been trying to move away from this term, which I guess he thinks is too obvious in its bigotry, but you'd hardly know it from looking at the number of articles featuring the slur on his site.)
As for homophobia, you may recall the bizarre "humorous" post in which he imagined me and a rather outspoken YouTube critic of MRAs having sex:
I am not in the least bit homophobic, but if Hannibal Barca ever takes refuge in the loving arms of David Futrelle, I might have to reconsider. I will spare you any attempts to construct a visual. I'm heartless at times, but not sadistic. …
[I]f Barca and Futrelle took their shirts off and kissed, would it be lesbian porn? Sorry, I should have issued a trigger warning.
Yeah, that's not in the least bit homophobic.
But Elam's homophobia towards gay men (or straight men he wants to insult by calling them gay and/or lesbian) seems to be somewhat tempered, as homophobia goes, largely because gay men are, in fact, men. Indeed, while Elam's ideas about gay men and gay activism are all kinds of fucked up, the main reason for this seems to be his intense misogyny rather than a hatred of gay male sexuality. Several gay men write for the site.
AVFM is a bit less friendly towards lesbians – who are, as you know, not only gay but women.
For months, AVFM featured a lesbian-bashing video by far-right YouTube jackass Bernard Chapin in its sidebar, with this description, presumably written by Elam:
Bernard's on a roll here with this one. And you will be rolling to [sic] as he delivers another thorough fisking, Inferno style.
Fun fact: Chapin's favorite term for lesbians is "lesbobo," with one more "bo" than the standard slur "lesbo."
Elam is now involved in some sort of feud with Chapin, and the video is down. Elam apparently loved Chapin's anti-"lesbobo" videos, but didn't like him criticizing AVFM, or imitating him in one of his trademark unfunny funny voices.
And then of course was this little bit of "humor" from regular commenter Andybob, which Elam decided was so brilliant it needed to be immortalized in a post:
Lesbians barged into gay men's spaces in droves jabbing their stubby fingers at everyone. Predictably, they proceeded to boss everyone around, making the gay rights movement about them. Note that homosexuality was a criminal offence for MEN ONLY. Lesbianism was never against the law. They had jackshit to whinge about, but they made gay rights about them anyway, and used it as a propaganda vehicle to support feminism.
Notice that GLTT became LGTT? How's that for petty entitlement? Gay men should have fought back, but, to our everlasting shame, we didn't. The only gay men who remained in GLTT were slimy political types seeking personal aggrandizement, zeta poodle carriers and moronic party boys who don't give a shit about anything except the pattern on the umbrella in their drinks. Of course, the MSM focus entirely on this noisy, spangled disco version of real gay men like me: men who know exactly how greedy, relentless and downright shady those lezziefems are and don't trust them one iota.
Yep, that's right, Andybob is a gay man who hates lesbians and, it seems, most other gay men.
If you search through the AVFM archives, you will find lesbians appearing in its posts largely as negative examples – allies of evil feminists, perpetrators of domestic violence, destroyers of the family. In some cases, as in this post from YouTube MRA Barbarossaaaa, lesbian-bashing is basically the cherry on top of the misogyny pie:
Sure, not all women are fat lesbian man haters that pen scum manifestos on their free time. However, how many women have trapped men via child support and alimony; a form of legalized slavery?
But in other case lesbians are a main course. Take this, from a contributor known only as Dusty:
Feminists are on a campaign against heterosexuality, because they see it as the core value of the patriarchy. Not only do they constantly attack heterosexuality in the media and the classroom, but they constantly exalt homosexuality- particularly lesbianism. Most feminists are lesbians, so by pushing lesbianism onto heterosexual women, feminists simultaneously discourage marriage and open more avenues for female companionship. They praise male homosexuality, because they see it as a subversion of patriarchal, white, heterosexual, male values (whatever those are). Homosexuals are seen as a safe alternative to threatening, violent, predatory, heterosexual men, and are thus "honorary women." Here, feminists prey on the occasional alienation that gay men feel at the hands of heterosexual men who have been raised to think that homosexuality is immoral or even pathological. However, this support is only in theory, and feminist love is entirely conditional. If a homosexual chooses to live his life as a proud man rather than a feminist lapdog, feminists have no use for him and quietly reject him.
Well, that's a clusterfuck of terrible right there.
As bad as all this is, it really doesn't hold a candle to Elam's virulent transphobia, most evident in his bizarre attack against sociologist and Men's Studies scholar Raewyn Connell, a trans woman. In a long and bizarre rant posted on Men's News Daily, which he used to edit, Elam attacked Connell for having "the masculinity cut from his body like a malignant tumor."
Demonstrating both hatred and ignorance, Elam suggested that Connell's very existence as a trans woman
calls on us at the very least to question the objectivity of her work, as well as the motivations behind it.
Is it possible that an individual so hated the sex they were born with that it sparked a life long academic quest to deconstruct it into something that did not disgust them? Is it possible that the fruits of those efforts were easily embraced by others who may have had issues of their own with traditional masculinity? Not intellectual issues, but intrapersonal ones. …
One thing is certain. Raewyn Connell's view of masculinity is not a product of scholarly pursuit, but of mental illness; a pathological hatred of a particular sex, in this case male. And when that is true of the preeminent authority in a field of study with such far reaching sociological ramifications, then it is time to make a change.
Let us hope that the idea of male studies cannot be cut off as easily as an unwanted penis.
So, yeah. If Elam really wants to free the good ship Men's Rights Movement of bigotry, he should probably throw himself and his fellow AVFM sailors overboard immediately.

Yep, Catbeast, he is on wife number 4. They start to blur.
@longshan gui: I wonder if he keeps them in binders… XP
I am not in the least bit homophobic, but if Hannibal Barca ever takes refuge in the loving arms of David Futrelle, I might have to reconsider.
Hi David. I wanted to let you know that I personally know Hannibal Barca and if you want, I can put you in touch with him. He's mostly on Youtube but "Hannibal Barca" is an old channel name of his. He's had to make several channels because idiots frequently troll and flag him (Anarcho-capitalists, MRAs, anti-statists, race-realists, etc.). Anyway, he and I and a few others usually have a weekly bull session on Skype.
I'll check back in a day or so. Thanks! 🙂
Wait, Elam has been married four times? How do we know this? That's certainly interesting. I wonder what his three ex-wives could tell us about him…
@deezer – I laughed my butt off at your comment. If you're new, welcome! I'm relatively new myself.
Carley, yes, public records available online. I wouldn't give his ex-wives' names, though, figure they have been through enough.
Can you offer some proof as to why Paul Elam is a homophobe?
The AVFM website appears to be down right now. Is anyone else experiencing this?
LOL hasn't AVFM been down for a while now?
Catbeast, I like your new kitty avatar!🙂
Elam isn't married. David, I'd suggest respectfully moderating that stuff – some of it just isn't true and evidence to the contrary is available. No idea about the alcoholism, fraud stuff, but would hazard a guess that it's not.
His bio on AVFM states that he was drug counselor. That part is correct. I remember because of this bit in his bio:
The entire field seemed to morph into one giant episode of a weekday afternoon talk show, with damaged lives put on display like circus sideshows. But unlike television the purpose was not to sell commercial advertising, but rather to push political ideology, and push it on people at the most vulnerable point in their fragmented lives. We began to identify and treat masculinity as the disease, not the addiction, and the cure for it was misandry –the hatred of men and boys- even though at the time I didn't know there was a word for such a thing. Men's groups devolved into sessions of shame, clinically applied and charged for by the hour. Or, as one psychotherapist once told me, just before being paid to address a group of male clients, "I love to take men's macho bullshit and shove it down their throats." The look in her eye was nothing less than sadistic. And she was looking at me no differently than she looked at her "clients."
It always left me wondering just where the hell he worked. Not that I take what he's saying at full face value, but I'd really like to know what his coworkers thought of him. He also states in his bio that he writes because he doesn't hate women he hates somethingsomething political ideology. Never outright says "feminism".
He ends up ranting about how women with BPD are just assholes, and ranting about how this is proven by BPD being mostly Dx'ed in women
I … uh … why does all the logic fail in this surprise me?
Elam tried to become a writer. Some of his efforts might still be available, I can't recall where I read them, though one was linked here some time ago.
He counselled a young woman who was abused sexually by her father (he wrote). Fairly saccharine prose, but sympathetic and totally at odds with his avfm stuff. Unusually for an MRA, his life is an open book.
I'd be curious to know his stance on the pathology of addiction. He's wrong about virtually everything related to gender, but a couple of things he wrote about substance misuse make sense, though he veered towards conspiracy/paranoia. Again, links are probably still available via a Google search.
I think once upon a time he might have been a totally different person. Ignoring the foolishness of his views, he's obviously got drive and energy. That its channeled so negatively is a real tragedy, particularly for him and his followers.
@Argenti: It looks like a circular argument, but when I try to follow it through, my brain hiccups.
Elam: Women with bipolar disorder are assholes!
Me: Okay, prove it.
Elam: Most bipolar patients are women!
Me: …. Ow.
So I think it's more of a non sequitur, actually.
Colour me surprised that Elam doesn't talk like any psychologist I've ever met or heard of.
@Kitteh: Thank you! ^.^
I wonder how Paul would react to a coning…
"Evil misandrists! There where 400 of them with soft-serves and switchblades! Ready to cut me and cover me and Ice-cream!"
*AVFM explodes into argument over whether MacDonalds is part of the feminist hivemind.*
LOL oops *were.
Once again your full of shit David.
I love MRA grammar. MRammar?
I forgot to mention this at the time, but I saw the most adorable way of presenting curry and rice, might be worth a try for kids. Obviously you'd need sticky rice to get it to work.
Falconer — BPD = borderline personality disorder, otherwise your circle of brain-pain is correct though.
… Crap. Sorry!
Is "Hannibal Barca" some kind of codeword? I can't find anything on him on a cursory google search.
Holy shit! I had no idea my fingers were stubby. I've even been an amateur hand model before. Now I will have to rethink every single concept I previously held dear. Thanks, AVfM, for opening my eyes. To the ugliness of my hands, or something.
Hannibal Barca = Hannibal who fought Rome in the Punic wars and famously took an army with elephants over the Alps. I think "Barca" means Lightning; it was a nickname.
LOL and I just realised Kakanian's question was from when the thread was live. Oh well.

This is one of those times when more than one of the above selections (in fact, all but one) would be my answer were that choice available.
I voted, "No, because the two major political parties are too stubborn". However, I figure before falling back to their entrenched, "it's all the other guy's fault" positions, letting sequestration take place, they will pass yet another short-term continuing resolution to continue the pretense of the two parties seeking a route to a compromise neither party is interested in.
BTW Sequestration amounts to Congressional recognition that they aren't capable of doing their job when that job involves more than pandering for votes in the next election. This isn't a Democrat or Republican thing, this is an across the board unwillingness by the members of both parties to do anything other than campaign for office.

Ultra Fast Mass Spectrometry -Speed Beyond Comparison-
World Fastest* Tandem Quadrupole LC/MS/MS System
Provides Speed Beyond Comparison for Multi-Analyte Determination
Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry is the method of choice for accurate quantification and confirmation of trace level analytes in complex matrices. From the detection of drugs and metabolites in biological specimens to environmental contaminants and pesticides in food, analysts the world over are challenged with detecting an increasing number of target analytes with greater sensitivity and in more samples than ever before. Shimadzu understands these requirements. That is why we have combined our experience from different fields to build a mass spectrometer that can keep pace with the chromatographic resolving power of our world-leading UHPLC systems without any speed limitation. The LCMS-8030 couples the power of a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer with unparalleled speed to provide the ideal compliment to both UHPLC and HPLC systems.

Brief explanation of LCMSMS terminology
MRM stands for Multiple Reaction Monitoring. In MRM, a specific ion (precursor ion) is selected in Q1 (first stage MS) from among various ions ionized by the ionization probe, the ion is destructed (collision-induced dissociation) in the collision cell (Q2, collision chamber), and a specific ion is detected from among the destructed ions (product ions) in Q3 (second stage MS). Multiple channels can be set in one measurement.
Method Packages
In accordance with regulations, the analysis of trace amounts of components containing many contaminants is now required for residual pesticides in foods and veterinary drugs. LC/MS/MS is often used for these analyses. These method packages are pre-registered with the analysis conditions and compound information of target components. Analysis can now be started without performing difficult or time-consuming tasks required in LC/MS/MS analysis, such as evaluating the separation conditions and optimizing the MS parameters for each compound, to allow efficient batch analysis of multiple components.

This is how I made the back of the sweater. I cast on 86 st. Starting row 100, I decreased 14 st over 14 rows (ending row 113) (=72 st rem). Then I worked even rows 114 to 146 (72 st rem).
I decreased 7 st on row 147 and row 148 (58 st rem).
I decreased 11 stitches on row 149 (47 st rem) and row 150 (36 st rem), and bound off the remaining st.
OK- I've read this and unfortunately no light bulbs.
First, I think the instructions for the back ofthe sweater mean to bind off 7 sts every second row
(1x), not twice like you did.
When it says to "cast off 11 sts 2x", is there anything else that follows or was that the end of the sentence?
What is the recommended gauge for this pattern? Can you tell by that how long the sleeves should be?
By my math, I get that at 16" you should have 49 sts, and at the very top of the sleeve, you should have 25 sts. The most confusing part for me is the "inc at both edges 1 st in every alternate 6th and 8th row (12x)." I'm not sure if you count every 6th and 8th row 12 times and increase every other (so 6 sets of increases total = 12sts), or if you count every 6th and 8th row and increase 12 times on every other 6th and 8th (24sts). I would need to figure this out by what gauge the pattern says to get. If done the second way, the sleeve would be considerably longer and one would have 60 sts at 16" and 37 sts at the top.

An Alabama district attorney says a gunman who killed 10 people and then himself in the worst mass shooting in the state's history was keeping a list of those "who done him wrong."
Coffee County District Attorney Gary McAliley (MAK'-uh-lil-ee) says investigators found the list in 28-year-old Michael McLendon's home.
The list included a Pilgrim's Pride plant near Enterprise where his mother worked. She was among the victims of her son's shooting rampage, and the district attorney said she had recently been laid off from the plant.
McAliley says Kelley's Foods in Elba and Reliable Metals in Samson were also on the list. McLendon had previously worked at both. Kelley's Foods says he quit his job there last week, and local officials say he was forced to resign from the metals plant in 2003.

Army Reserve Spc. Michael Pyatt mounted a machine gun on the turret of his Humvee in August 2005 for another mission into the volatile city of Hillah, Iraq. As he stepped off the bumper, he landed awkwardly, injuring his hip and back and leaving him crippled.
Back home, he asked for a medical discharge.
In July 2007, his unit tried to deploy him a second time, even though he wore a knee brace and used a cane.
Just months later, the Department of Veterans Affairs declared Pyatt permanently and totally disabled. Yet today, more than five years after he was hurt, the Army still has not declared Pyatt unfit for duty, which would make him eligible for disability retirement pay and medical insurance for his wife and daughter.
Pyatt, 38, struggles to get by. He is deep in debt and must make frequent trips from his home in Bonne Terre, Mo., for free treatment at VA facilities in St. Louis.
"I've fallen through the cracks," he said. "I've been abandoned."
Pyatt's story is an example of a military disability system that Congress and others contend is woefully unprepared to deal with the of hundreds of thousands of troops injured while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Stories of disabled service members forced to wait months or even years for benefits are nothing new, but several veterans advocates said waits as long as Pyatt's are rare.
"It's getting borderline criminal," said retired Air Force Col. Mike Hayden of the Military Officers Association of America. "(The Army) can't use this individual for the reason they have him, which is to deploy and fight, so, unfortunately, he's holding a spot for someone who could. He's trying to do the right thing — get off the rolls — and he can't."
Guard and Reserve members face special challenges when it comes to seeking compensation for disabling injuries, said retired Army Lt. Col. Mike Parker, another veterans advocate. Some simply aren't receiving the benefits to which they are entitled.
An Army Reserve spokesman last week apologized for the delays, which he blamed on a bureaucratic reorganization. He said a medical review board at Fort Leonard Wood would soon address Pyatt's case.
And the chief of staff of the Army's Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command, Col. Allan Fey, on Friday ordered an investigation.
"He was mortified. This shouldn't happen to any soldier under any circumstance," said his spokesman Lt. Col. Gerald Ostlund. "Anything identified is going to be rectified. There's absolutely no excuse."
Pyatt grew up in St. Francois County and spent four years in the Navy before leaving the service to care for his ailing grandparents who had raised him.
In 2005, he enlisted in the Army Reserve and later that year deployed with the Jefferson Barracks-based 307th Tactical Psychological Operations Company to Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad. He served on a three-man team that ventured into the turbulent city to meet with sheiks, distribute fliers or broadcast propaganda from loudspeakers.
"We were really the voice of the U.S. to the community," Pyatt said. "I loved it. Absolutely loved it."
He got hurt two months into his yearlong tour. He jammed his leg, heard a pop in his hip and fell to the ground.
A doctor ordered several days bed rest and put Pyatt on light duty for a month, but after a few weeks he grew restless.
"I told the doc, 'Look, I gotta get back out. I can't sit here anymore. I just can't do it.'" Pyatt said.
He also felt pressure. Another member of Pyatt's 13-man detachment had knee surgery before deployment. After a short time in Iraq, the soldier decided he couldn't continue. Pyatt said the sergeant in charge warned him not to leave the unit even more shorthanded.
"They just couldn't lose one of us. That was the pressure I felt."
Pyatt said the sergeant also told him he if he stuck it out he could expect a promotion.
"If you've ever been in the military, you know those sergeant's stripes are what you want," Pyatt said. "That's the big step." He dulled the pain with doctor-prescribed codeine, ibuprofen and muscle relaxers. He completed his tour, surviving five roadside bomb attacks and a divorce.
"It hurt so bad, but I did it. I got through it. You grin and bear, and that's what I did."
In May 2006, Pyatt returned from Iraq to Fort Bragg, N.C., for post-deployment evaluations.
Pyatt said both the sergeant and a lieutenant warned him to not mention his injuries. Mother's Day was a week away and Pyatt said his superiors feared the entire unit would be delayed getting home if Pyatt needed treatment.
On a form, Pyatt wrote that he was having problems with his back, arms, head and hip. But he told a medical worker he'd be fine.
"It's not unusual for soldiers not to report injuries fearing it could delay their return home and to their family," said Jaime Cavazos, an Army Medical Command spokesman in San Antonio. "We try to do whatever we can to fix their maladies, but a lot of it depends on their honesty and stepping forward and identifying that they have a problem. That's a big issue for us."
If Pyatt had been truthful, he would have received his monthly $2,300 active duty pay until his injuries had been treated or the military determined he was no longer fit for duty, a mistake that has cost him thousands of dollars.
Pyatt knew that he was entitled to six months of military-paid medical insurance. He figured he would get his injuries looked at in Missouri.
He also knew his military career was over.
Once back at Jefferson Barracks, Pyatt asked for a medical discharge. A clerk repeatedly assured Pyatt she would file the forms but never did, he said.
Hayden, of the officers association, said bureaucratic breakdowns often occur when returning National Guard and Reserve members fail to report their injuries. Most of the military's expertise for processing injured service members resides within the active duty force, he said.
"When they step back to their (Guard and Reserve) units, that's when the ball gets dropped," Hayden said. "Those units are not always clear on the actual process that needs to take place."
Col. Fey also on Friday ordered an internal audit to identify any shortcomings in the procedures.
Pyatt used his short-term insurance for visits to Scott Air Force Base doctors. By the time they told him there was nothing more they could do, his insurance had run out.
He found a telephone call center job but forgot things. Walking, standing and bending all day left him in agony. He was let go.
He felt weak. His arms and legs ached. It took nearly an hour of stretches and massage to get out of bed. He ran warm water over his hands to release the clenched fists that developed in the night.
In February 2007, after a night where he woke several times screaming in pain, his wife demanded he go to the VA.
Over the next year, VA doctors diagnosed him with 25 ailments, including nerve damage in all four limbs, degenerative arthritis of the spine, four bulging discs, chronic fatigue, memory loss, depression and post-traumatic stress. Eventually, the VA declared Pyatt 100 percent disabled, all connected to his Iraq service.
Yet Pyatt's command had taken no action on his discharge request.
"There was always an excuse," said his wife, Shannon Pyatt.
On several occasions, Pyatt said commanders offered him an administrative discharge, an offer the couple considered insulting. It would have meant forfeiting any retirement benefits.
Refusing that offer may have been Pyatt's smartest move, said Parker, the veterans advocate. Thousands of injured Guard and Reserve veterans have agreed to administrative separations even though they are entitled to compensation, he said.
Parker blamed Guard and Reserve commanders who he said don't understand the military disability process and a Defense Department he believes is anxious to keep down costs related to the long-term care of thousands of disabled veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They either don't know the rules or realize how expensive it is to the (Defense Department) to do it right, so they do everything they can not to do it right," Parker said.
In July 2007, in the midst of his VA treatment, Pyatt was flabbergasted when his unit tried to send him back to Iraq.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he recalled a Fort Bragg doctor asking before declaring Pyatt unfit for deployment.
After almost a month at Fort Bragg, on the day he was to return to Missouri, Pyatt said another sergeant tried to convince him to sign a waiver to deploy despite his condition. Pyatt refused.
Back in Missouri, Pyatt was still expected to report for monthly drill. By then, he was taking about 12 pills a day, including morphine.
In January 2009, a VA doctor signed a letter saying Pyatt was incapable of performing drill or any other duties.
By then, the Army had transferred Pyatt on paper to the Reserve's 88th Regional Readiness Command at Fort Snelling, Minn., which was to continue his medical evaluation process. About the same time, the 88th was being restructured and some of its operations relocated. Walton, the spokesman for what is now the 88th Regional Support Command, said it appears Pyatt got lost in the shuffle.
"It's unfortunate, and we do apologize for the delay," Walton said. "Finally, the unit is doing the right things, which is a good thing for this guy."
The couple survive on Pyatt's $2,932 monthly VA disability. Shannon Pyatt, 33, had to quit her job as a pastry chef to care for her husband.
Pyatt applied for Social Security disability payments in July 2007 but was denied.
Pyatt said the judge in his case did not allow him to call witnesses and made several mistakes in citing his medical records. They included claiming that Pyatt used a cane by choice, when in fact, the records included a doctor's order for it.
"To me it was almost like he had his medical records mixed up with another case," Shannon Pyatt said of the judge.
Social Security disability would have meant about $1,000 more each month, and about $41,000 in back payments.
Two days after Social Security denied his disability claim, Pyatt received a notice from another government agency, Medicare and Medicaid, declaring him totally and permanently disabled. That qualified him for Medicaid, but VA treatment was still cheaper.
"It was such a kick in the teeth," Shannon Pyatt said. "One agency was saying he was disabled and another was saying he wasn't."
Over the last three years, Shannon Pyatt's parents lent the couple $36,000 to help with expenses. Her father has since had several heart attacks, no longer is working and now is in default on his mortgage. The pressures are taking a toll on Pyatt.
"He's never asked anybody for anything and now my parents may lose their house because of him," Shannon Pyatt said. "That's how he looks at it."
If declared totally and permanently disabled by the military, Pyatt would immediately begin receiving his retirement pay of several hundred dollars a month. He and his family also could see private doctors and eliminate the 90-minute drives several times a month to the St. Louis VA.
Pyatt spends a lot of time on his front porch reading — mysteries, thrillers, books about the military. The scooter he uses to get around is broken.
His Honda motorcycle still sits out front. He shouldn't ride it, but on his best days he does. Not doing so makes him feel like he's giving up, something he refuses to do.
He feels the same way about getting disability benefits he believes are rightly his.
"I did my job and I did it well," he says of his military service. "What I want to say to the Army is no soldier should have to put up with what I've put up with. It's ridiculous."

It took seven years, but Scottish actor Simone Lahbib and the rest of the cast of Bad Girls have finally arrived in the United States. Beginning this week, all eight seasons of the popular and award-winning British prison drama begin airing on cable channel Logo, AfterEllen.com's parent company.
Going far beyond women-in-prison stereotypes, Bad Girls featured one of the best-developed lesbian relationships in TV history, between prison warden Helen Stewart (Lahbib) and inmate Nikki Wade (Mandana Jones). A rule-abiding prison official who was straight at the beginning of the series, Helen struggles over the first few seasons to address problems in the prison system while coming to terms with her growing attraction to Nikki.
Now 41, Lahbib currently stars in the British crime drama Wire in the Blood, based on lesbian author Val McDermid's novels, and she has a one-year-old daughter with her husband, actor Raffaello Degruttola. AfterEllen.com recently talked with Lahbib about her latest role, her experiences making Bad Girls, and the media attention that surrounded the controversial show.
AfterEllen.com: Could you tell me about Alex Fielding, the character you play in Wire in the Blood?
We're just about to start what will be my second [season] and Wire' s fifth. Each episode is 90 minutes, shot on film, and looks fantastic. It's been referred to as a British CSI, which is a fair comparison as it comes at the cases from a forensics point of view, then adds a criminal psychologist [Tony Hill, played by Robson Green].
AE: There seems to be a lot of tension between Alex and Tony.
AE: Does the role get under your skin a little?
AE: It's striking how different the tone of Wire is, compared to Bad Girls — and how different Alex is from Helen Stewart, the prison warden you played on Bad Girls.
What I loved about Bad Girls is that it shed light on so many issues. The prison side of it aside, it really explored women's issues, whether behind bars or in general life. I think it was a really important program, and I'm sad it's been pulled.
AE: Can you talk about a couple of the issues the show raised that most interested you?

What's in a name?
In boxing, a fighter's name can mean a lot. Money. Opportunities. And perhaps most of all: bragging rights.
Former welterweight champ Zab Judah knows all too well what's in the mind of his next opponent, unbeaten Vernon Paris of Detrot, approaching their junior welterweight clash on March 24.
"I understand that there are these young guys who would rather beat a name like Zab Judah than win a world title. To them, that just solidifies them as much as being a champion of the world by beating me," said Judah, 34, who will be facing a man 10 years his junior in Paris.
"I understand that. But … I'm excited again. I feel like I'm back at 22 years old. I promise you, man, I will come in there and give you guys the excitement that I did when I was 22."
That's the age at which an undefeated Judah captured his first crown, the vacant IBF junior welterweight title, with a fourth-round stoppage of Jan Piet Bergman in February of 2000.
Judah defended that belt five times, with four knockouts, before being dethroned via second-round stoppage against Kostya Tszyu in November of 2001.
But even now, at a point when many consider Judah (41-7, 28 knockouts) to be at the twilight of his career, he believes that he can still be a force in the talented 140-pound division.
"Anybody that knows me knows that winning means more to me than anything," said Judah. "I don't care who it is, the opportunity at hand means that Zab Judah has to step in there and be the best Zab Judah that he can be."
A former RING welterweight champion, as well as ex-holder of the WBA, WBC and IBF welterweight and WBO junior welterweight titles, Judah will face Paris (26-0, 15 KOs) in an IBF eliminator on the NBC Sports Network's "Fight Night" from the Aviator Sports Complex in Judah's native Brooklyn, N.Y.
The last time Judah fought in his home town was as a teenager.
"This is the first time that I'll be fighting in Brooklyn as a professional. You know, it's a great feeling," said Judah. "The last time that I think that I think that I fought in Brooklyn was around the days of the Golden Gloves."
Judah regained the IBF junior welterweight belt by beating Kaizer Mabuza last year, but lost it by fifth-round knockout against Amir Khan in his most recent fight, ending a streak of five straight wins, three of them by knockout, since a ninth-round technical decision loss to Joshua Clottey in August of 2008.
"I think that people kind of forget that just last July, I was a champion of the world, you know?," said Judah.
"Now, I'm coming back to rightfully get back what was mine. Every fighter steps into the ring trying to gain as much as the other fighter. Vernon Paris means the same thing as Amir Khan."
Judah hopes to recapture his youth against Paris, citing boxers well-known for capturing titles much later in their careers as examples.
"If you watch the great Bernard Hopkins, Bernard Hopkins does it time after time. George Foreman has shown the world. He's done it. But I'm not even comparing myself to those guys, age-wise," said Judah.
"But at 34 years of age right now, it's funny how they'll call you old. I'm just 34 years old. I don't understand what's old about me."
Judah vows to personify the "Super" in his nickname against Paris.
"We'll go in there and bring back the Zab Judah of the old. I feel like I'm Super Man going into the booth, and when he came out, he was back into Super Man again," said Judah. "This is Zab Judah all over again. I'm retreating back to my roots of Brooklyn, and when I come out of the booth, it's going to be with flying colors again."
Judah's past includes losses to world champions such as Clottey, Tszyu, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Baldomir, Cory Spinks and Floyd Mayweather Jr., with the setbacks against Cotto and Clottey, Mayweather, Spinks and Baldomir taking place in the welterweight division.
"At 140, that's the weight class that I feel great at," said Judah. "I feel like I could go out and eat filet mignon or a burger, and still weigh 140 pounds. This is my solid, natural weight, and I don't plan on leaving it no more."
Judah believes that his experiences, good and bad, will make him too troublesome for Paris.
"What's old? Old is experience and experience is great. Experience is the key factor in winning. Come March 24, Vernon Paris is going to see that," said Judah. "He's going to be in the depths of water that he's never seen before and there will be no bottom for him to stand on."

Two teams with 9 wins each, but only one can be region champion. It doesn't get much better than this.
"It's great for the communities," said Williston-Elko head coach Dwayne Garrick. "Coach Berry and I go a long ways back. I coached at Blackville under him for three years and it's just one of these games that's going to be fun."
And this year's game is fueled by both team's amazing 9-0 starts, something both coaches didn't see coming.
"We're pleased with where we're at but you're never satisfied," said Blackville-Hilda head coach David Berry. "The kids have done well. They've played well. Probably exceeded some of our expectations."
"I don't know if anyone expects to be 9-0 at this point," says Garrick. "The kids worked hard though and we knew we had the chance to be pretty good. 9-0 is probably a little bit better than we thought but we're glad we're here"
Last season, Blackville-Hilda won the state championship but it was Williston-Elko that won the season finale...no doubt giving the Fighting Hawks a feeling of wanting revenge
"They beat us and even though we won the state championship, it just feels a little strange losing to a team in the region," said Blackville-Hilda senior Quentin Johnson.
Both teams have a great running attack that cancel each other out. Joe Thomas for the Hawks. Josh Epps for the Devils. So what's the key to victory in this year's game?
"Just keep playing like we've been playing," said Epps." We've been playing pretty good all year so just keep up the hard work. That's all we gotta do."
"We're going to have to stay focused," said Johsnon. "Going to have to keep our heads in the game and not look at what's going on in the stands and the fans and just play our game"
And it will all get settled on Halloween night, fittingly, at the Devils Den.

Not one member of the Streetsboro football team was born yet when it happened.
The year was 1992 when Grunge music took the world by storm and the Dallas Cowboys' dynasty was just starting to round into form.
That also happened to be the year the Rockets last made the playoffs.
Fortunately, Streetsboro fans won't have to go back that far anymore.
The Rockets ended a 20-year hiatus by reaching the Division IV playoffs in 2012. Streetsboro finished 7-4 overall after losing a 48-35 decision to Youngstown Liberty in a Division IV, Region 13 quarterfinal game.
The Rockets were led by senior All-Ohio defensive back Dorian Williams, who was named the Associated Press Northeast Inland District IV Defensive Player of the Year. Williams finished with 72 tackles, six interceptions and two sacks.
On offense, Williams was just as stellar.
He rushed for 1,981 yards and 23 touchdowns for Streetsboro. Senior offensive lineman Sam Creque and senior quarterback/linebacker Brandon Gency received special mention to the All-Ohio team.
On last spring's track and field teams, several competitors had memorable seasons.
Alex Todd, who is now a member of the Indiana University football team, finished third in the shot put at the Division II state track and field meet. Mercedes Oliver, a 2012 Streetsboro graduate, also qualified for the state meet in the discus throw for the second year in a row.
The Rockets are expected to have a state qualifier back on the track this spring.
Destiny King, a junior, finished 12th in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2012 state meet.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — An Iowa police chief says South Dakota's drivers won't get a free ride despite a new South Dakota law designed to protect South Dakota drivers from being ticketed by automated traffic camera systems.
The Sioux City Journal says (http://bit.ly/1lNoSSY ) the law bars South Dakota officials from providing information about the state's registered drivers to companies such as Redflex, which operates traffic cameras in Sioux City, so Redflex can collect civil fines.
Sioux City Police Chief Doug Young says police still have ways to get the information for Redflex and says "people in South Dakota need to understand that this is not a free pass that you've gotten from your government."
Young would not say how the vehicle registration information would be obtained.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Top finishers in last weekend's Kentucky Derby and Oaks were fast and clean.
Post-race test results received Tuesday by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission showed no irregularities in the samples taken from money-paying horses in the Oaks and Derby and three other competitors. HFL Sport Science, the KHRC's official laboratory, worked all weekend to expedite test results.
Derby winner Orb, runner-up Golden Soul and show finisher Revolutionary were tested with two other horses from Saturday's premier race at Churchill Downs. Oaks champion Princess of Sylmar, second-place Beholder, third-place Unlimited Budget and another filly were also tested.
KHRC executive director John T. Ward was happy that results were returned quickly, saying in a statement that they give bettors, industry partners and competitors "confidence that these races were conducted with integrity."

Break out the party favors and prepare to kiss 2003 goodbye. It's time to hand out Southeast Missouri's Annual New Year Awards.
Top team:
Jackson Indians
Right now, Jackson looks like the area's best team. The Indians are 11-1, and their only loss came to an out of area team. Some might argue either Charleston or Poplar Bluff's case for the top spot, but Jackson beat the Bluejays on Monday and the Mules started 0-4 while waiting on Tyler Hansbrough to come back.
Top offensive team:
Dexter Bearcats
When it comes to putting the ball in the hole, you won't find a better team than Dexter. Against a good schedule, the Bearcats have averaged 72 points per game. Guards Josh Miller and Chris Guethle both have the capabilities of getting hot. Derek Demaree may be the best inside-outside player in the area.
Top defensive team:
Charleston Bluejays
Like most years, Charleston sets the standard when it comes to playing team defense. The Bluejays utilize their quickness and athleticism to contest nearly every shot and they make it difficult on many teams to make simple passes. They're allowing 52 points a night.
Surprise team:
Jackson Indians
Most gave up on Jackson after a season-opening loss to Farmington. But the Indians rebounded, winning their next 11 straight, beating the likes of Dexter, Columbia Hickman, Parkway Central, Charleston and Cape Central.
Top offensive player:
Dominitrix Johnson, Bell City
You won't find a better offensive player than Johnson. He can score from any spot on the floor and doesn't miss when the game is on the line. He seems to top himself night to night.
Top defensive player:
Marcus Biles, Charleston
Biles has extraordinary quickness and is the best on-the-ball defender in the area. When he's on the court, opposing teams have trouble just getting the ball up the floor.
Top rebounder:
Tyler Hansbrough, Poplar Bluff
No player dominates the boards like Poplar Bluff's 6-foot-9 all-stater. Sure, being the biggest player on the floor doesn't hurt, but he has a nose for the ball and he is relentless in attacking the glass.
Top 3-point shooter:
Jordan Sanders, East Prairie
When he's open, East Prairie's Jordan Sanders is lights out from behind the 3-point arch. His outside shot has been killing teams in the early season.
Most underrated:
Trentez Lane, Charleston
Farmer and Biles get all the attention at Charleston, but Lane is a big reason why the Bluejays are 10-1 right now. The 6-foot senior is solid in all aspects of the game and is probably the Bluejays' headiest player.
Top shot blocker:
Matt Rogers, Doniphan
When it comes to blocking shots, Doniphan's Matt Rogers is the area's best. The 6-foot-8 sophomore's presence in the middle forces many teams to adjust how they play.
Top senior:
Dominitrix Johnson, Bell City
Johnson would be a star on any team in the area. He's definitely the best point guard we've seen around here since NMCC's Dereke Tipler.
Top junior:
Tyler Hansbrough, Poplar Bluff
Hansbrough is one of the top high school players in the nation. No other junior in the tri-state area holds a candle to him.
Top sophomore:
Matt Rogers, Doniphan
Picking the area's top sophomore was a tough call. Doniphan center Matt Rogers gets the nod over Twin Rivers standout Michael Lance. He's averaging nearly a triple-double.
Top freshman: Jamarcus Williams, Charleston
Looking for the next high school phenom? Look no further than Charleston's Jamarcus Williams. There's no telling how good this 6-foot-4 freshman will be in three years.
Top coach:
Mike Kiehne, Jackson
Kiehne has done the best job with the hand he's been dealt so far. The Indians don't have any All-Americans, but they're finding ways to win as a team.

Astropecten aranciacus
Astropecten aranciacus is a sea star of the family Astropectinidae.[1] It is native to the east Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.[1]
Habitat and behaviour[edit]
Astropecten aranciacus lives very near the coast, and at low tide it buries itself in the sand, showing only the centre of its upper side which is swollen in the form of a cone. This cone acts like a sense organ. When it is touched, the cone contracts and the starfish buries itself on the sand again. Then at high tide, the starfish reappears on the surface of the water. It buries itself in the sand to shield parts of its body from the rays of the sun, especially the bottom surface which has no coloured pigment and is therefore particularly sensitive. Astropecten aranciacus lives on sandy, muddy or gravel bottoms at depths of 2–100 metres (7–300 ft). This species is active and easy to find in the late afternoon and during the night.
This starfish has superomarginal plates equipped with 1 to 3 small spines and inferomarginal plates with long, pointed, strong, regularly arranged spines. The inferomarginal spines have reddish-orange colour at the base and yellowish or white colour towards the tip. It is rugged with normal size disc and pointed arms. The colour of the aboral side is given by a succession of paxillae (from the top they look like round points) with upper extremity red-orange in various combinations with paxillae with upper extremity grey or beige. The superomarginal plates are usually grey or beige homogeneous. This is the largest species of Astropecten in the Mediterranean Sea, with a maximum diameter of 55 centimetres (22 in), although it usually measures about 30 cm (12 in).
It's a starfish with a lot of features and can be distinguished easily from the other species by colour and size. Sometimes it is confused with Astropecten irregularis.
This sea star is a carnivore and feeds on molluscs, which it catches with its arms and then takes to the mouth. The prey is then trapped by the long, moving prickles around the mouth cavity.

Pac got smashed. Too bad, I wanted Floyd to be the one doing that. Not that 1 punch from hell of course but a clear win.
I hope to see Floyd fight The Ghost May 4th 2013 And Pacquaio take about 6 months off then come back to rematch Marquez and ko his ass. Although I wanted to see Marquez beat Pacquaio, I didn't like what I saw.
I never, ever accused someone of being on roids like most people do but dammit Marquez has been small all his life and all the sudden in the span of 8 months this dude hulks up? That first knockdown already had me beyond suspicious because he has caught Pacquaio with that same punch DOZENS of times in their previous fights and Pac never flinched. Now, that overhand that Knocked Pacs block off, that would've ko'd anyone dumb enough to charge into another fighter with their hands down like that.
Floyd's probably got 2-3 fights max left. Let him clown Robert and let Manny get his redeem this horrible loss and those to can finally square than call it a day.
People say they think Floyd will try to actually fight Pac now.....I think it's the opposite. I highly doubt he wants that fight more than he did before. Pac was winning that fight until the Ko happened. Marquez lookded slow and off balance to me and I figured he was going to get ko'd any sec. and the fight made it to that next round. Pac is still dangerous and he just got embarrassed by someone Floyd clowned. No way Floyd wants that fight...

There's nothing from the fight on Saturday that changes my opinion on how a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would look. Mayweather is much faster than Marquez, much better defense, and an even better counter puncher than Marquez is which says a lot because Marquez is a great counter puncher..Pacquiao would get hit with clean counter shots by Mayweather all night night
Canelo Alvarez just posted on his Facebook page that he is planning to fight Mayweather on May 4th.
I doubt FLoyd fights that monster May 4. he'll probably take on Robert May 4h and Canelo in September.
If The Canelo fight does get signed May 4th I'll be shocked as hell and won't bet money on Floyd like I normally do. Dangerous matchup and I don't like Floyd fighting at 154 at all..
i'm pretty sure pac already accepted what happened. in fact he shrugged it off like a pro prize fighter should. if you saw the 24/7, pac was more amused on the bradley decision. him & roach are jovial rather than furious & even said it was a great fight in the locker room after the controversial lost. marquez KO'd pac, he should move on & stop gloating. unfortunately greed will rear its ugly head & arum might get his way.Marquez, who knocked Pacquiao out cold in the sixth round over the weekend in Las Vegas, said: "Manny doesn't have to (feel) bad. That might happen to me as it happened to other fighters he faced (before)."
"We must accept joys and sorrows. In this case it is difficult to accept defeat but you have to accept it and if possible, move on."
Pacquiao was slightly ahead on all scorecards when he connected with a right hand that knocked Pacquiao out in the dying seconds of the sixth round.
My recent works...
Canelo is an extremely dangerous fight for Floyd. The most dangerous I think he's ever had. If he goes through with it, nobody can accuse him ducking anything

Prentiss County police think the site where dozens of dog carcasses were found earlier this week was a common dumping grounds for people wanting to dispose of dead animals.
"Most people don't understand how to dispose of dead animals and I think this shows that," said Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar.
Two women were looking for their dog earlier this week when they found the site with about 50 carcasses, mostly dogs, on County Road 6200 near a bridge. They reported it to police.
Now, a $2,500 reward has been offered by the Humane Society of the United States for information to identify, arrest and convict whoever is responsible for the neglect and deaths.
In addition to the dogs, the site contained other animal remains, including a deer, a domestic pig, two wild boars and a calf.
"It wasn't just dogs and that's another reason we feel this could have been a popular dumping spot," he said.
Tolar said the animals were in different stages of decomposition "from fairly new all the way down to bones, so we feel like it was used by several people. We do think a bulk of the dogs were dumped at once. There were about 10 dogs with gunshot wounds."
Dr. Bill Epperson, professor and head of the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine for the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, said that if animals are buried in a landfill, they should be wrapped in plastic or a sturdy box and deposited in a closed garbage can.
If disposed of properly, Epperson said public health is not an issue.
"Obviously contact with people and animals should be controlled," he said. "As with any deceased body, scavenging animals and birds will be attracted and should always be excluded. Any animal buried should have sufficient cover to keep animals and insects out, so at least two feet of dirt cover is recommended."
Epperson said based on the limited information he has on the Prentiss County case, no public health risks are evident.
If someone is charged with the animal dumping they will face misdemeanor charges with penalties up to six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine, according to Tolar. He said they have at least one lead on the case but have made no arrests.

Selfish Needy Creatures' "The Hard Way" is an album born in the shadowy, dodgy margins of the road less traveled. The efficient eight-cut record is a straight-forward runaway freight train of reckless abandon and raw, virile authority.
Not at all given to subtlety or restraint, "The Hard Way" is a punishing experience that might as well be the soundtrack to a street fight. Far more focused than the band's previous EP (and it's odd to use the word "focused" in reference to something so unrefined,) "The Hard Way" is a rolling diatribe of high-strung, muscled pulverization.
"This, is my good eye…"
Probably the last thing that the current lineup of Sepultura wants is to be compared to the classic Sepultura lineup that ran five albums from 1985-96. Yet, heavy metal is a genre terribly stamped by the "what have you done for me lately?" attitude, and to that end, many of the fans of old Sepultura have eyed any of the post-Max Cavalera material with a wary eye.
As a reviewer and music journalist, sometimes the toughest task is to remain impartial and objective about a new project that slides across your desk. I've run into this conundrum a handful of times, where I thought I already knew that a band would be great or reprehensible; it's hard to stifle your natural inclination and judge something on its own merits.
The dust has settled from the release of Lazarus A.D.'s sophomore effort, "Black Rivers Flow." After a tour that took the band all across the United States and Europe, the band has a little time off before striking out on a headlining tour in a couple weeks. Vocalist and bassist Jeff Paulick took some time out to talk with Bloody Good Horror. The refreshingly candid frontman gives us his thoughts on the band, their new album, Metallica, dance music, the state of heavy metal, the music business, horror cinema and sports allegiances in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Suffice it to say, we covered a lot of ground in our conversation.
After the release of the comparatively successful "Root of All Evil," it became evident from the fans' clawing that they wanted new material from Arch Enemy, and they wanted it fast. That album's re-recordings of early AE songs was a fun romp, but only served to whet the crowd's appetite.
So, "Khaos Legions" comes barreling out of the din, the first new studio material from the band since 2007's "Rise of the Tyrant" which landed to generally positive but ultimately mixed reviews.
It's been a long road for Tennessee's Straight Line Stitch, from limited releases to changing lineups to grueling tours in dirty clubs. Now tapped to play as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, the band feels like they're come over a crest in their career. Taking a minute off from promoting their new album "The Fight of Our Lives," singer Alexis Brown talked with me about music, women in heavy metal, and a copious amount of horror cinema.
Over all the years, projects, lineups, albums and EPs, Chris Reifert has become nothing if not the picture of consistency. Reunited with original Autopsy members Danny Coralles and Eric Cutler, and joined by Joe Trevisano of Abscess, Autopsy has released "Macabre Eternal," the band's latest unapologetic assault on musical convention, trend and quite possibly good taste.
Huh. *shrug*
That's my reaction to Gallhammer's new album, "The End." Cut down from three members to two after the departure of Mika Penetrator, the all-girl Japanese metal band has set out to try and push the boundaries of black and doom metal.
What's become clear about Gallhammer over their existence is that front woman Vivian Slaughter does not give a damn about image, convention or traditional roles. She and the band are much more preoccupied with musical atmosphere and trolling the deep corners and shadowy depths of doom metal.
Red Fang's sophomore effort "Murder the Mountains" is a wonderfully experimental, anything-goes affair that approaches the mores of kick-ass rock and roll with open eyes and robust vitality.
A product of musically oft-overlooked Portland, Oregon, Red Fang inked a deal with reprise Records, and was immediately paired with known producer Chris Funk. Funk's previous experience with the Decemberists raises some eyebrows, but his steady hand makes a difference on the overall consistency of "Murder the Mountains" without changing the music's intent.

New gift card aims to support local businessesUPDATED 7:41 PM EST Nov 08, 2013
The new Buoy Local card can be used at several businesses around Portland. WMTW News 8's Paul Merrill reports.Video Transcript
IDENTITY THEFT. STINGER SOME LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS ARE HOPING THEIR IDEA GIVES BUSINESSES A BOOST IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND. YOU'VE HEARD OF "BUY LOCAL," BUT THIS NEW CAMPAIGN IS CALLED "BUOY LOCAL." W-M-T-W NEWS EIGHT'S PAUL MERRILL JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM INSIDE LONGFELLOW BOOKS IN PORTLAND WITH MORE. "BUOY LOCAL" IS A GIFT CARD PROGRAM WITH A TWIST. THE GIFT CARDS CAN BE USED TO SHOP AT ANY PARTICIPATING LOCAL BUSINESS - LIKE LONGFELLOW BOOKS. OTHER CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE SIMILAR PROGRAMS. SOME PORTLAND BUSINESSES ARE ALREADY ON BOARD, BUT OTHERS AREN'T SO SURE IT'S THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR THEM. THESE ARE THE TWO GUYS BEHIND "BUOY LOCAL." KAI SMITH IS A PORTLAND NATIVE. HE CAME UP WITH THE CATCHY NAME. SEAN SULLIVAN MOVED HERE FOR COLLEGE AND NEVER LEFT. THEY MET AT A NETWORKING EVENT FOR ENTREPRENEURS AND FOCUSED ON SOMETHING THEY SAW AS A PROBLEM. 00:06:18-00:06:25 Kai Smith/Buoy Local: "You walk into any convenience store, grocery store, pharmacy... there's a big rack of gift cards but they're all for chain businesses." "BUOY LOCAL" WILL LET PEOPLE BUY ONE GIFT CARD THEY CAN SPEND AT ANY ONE OF SEVERAL PARTICIPATING PORTLAND BUSINESSES. 00:04:00- 00:04:11 Sean Sullivan/Buoy Local: "Who wants to give cash for a present? It's impersonal and it doesn't really connote that you have any kind of personal connection with the recipient. I think giving a gift card... you're gifting your love of Portland." 00:01:59-00:02:00 Chris Bowe/Longfellow Books: "It's brilliant actually." CHRIS BOWE IS CO- OWNER OF LONGFELLOW BOOKS IN MONUMENT SQUARE. THE STORE IS ONE OF TWENTY-FIVE BUSINESSES ALREADY ON BOARD WITH "BUOY LOCAL." 00:02:11-00:02:20 Chris Bowe/Longfellow Books: "When I heard about it, I jumped on it because I think it will increase foot traffic and increase spending downtown and increase the bottom line for a lot of people." THERE ARE NO FEES FOR CARD USERS BUT BUSINESSES DO HAVE TO PONY UP A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AN ANNUAL FEE TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. JULIE ROBERTS IS A CO-FOUNDER OF COASTAL MAINE POPCORN IN THE OLD PORT. SHE SAYS SHE'D HAVE TO REALLY THINK ABOUT SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY TO BE PART OF THIS PROGRAM. 00:00:27- 00:00:33 Julie Roberts/Coastal Maine Popcorn: "I think it's always hard to know if that cost is going to pay off later on down the road." THE ORGANIZERS ARE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO ROLL THIS OUT BY NOVEMBER 30TH - THE DAY KNOWN AS "SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY." THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED LOCAL BUSINESSES ON BOARD BY THE END OF 20-14. LIVE IN PORTLAND, PAUL MERRILL, W-M-T- W NEWS EIGHT.

I wonder if this….

House Speaker John Boehner announced Thursday the Republican-led lawsuit against President Barack Obama will focus on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the White House decision to delay the employer mandate.
Has anything to do with this:
The Court Case That Could Kill Obamacare – Bloomberg View
The Affordable Care Act has overcome a Supreme Court challenge, persistent Republican opposition and the initial dysfunction of its own website.
It could still fall victim to another foe: its own language.
The suspicious cynic in me wonders if Boehner already knows how the SCOTUS Obamacare case will be decided.

HOw can they get away with this. I am 76 and my husband is 76 he will soon be 77 and we are on a limited income and with no raise in social security we have a hard time paying bills and our medicine and doctor and hospital bills are draining us. In december they took out 29.95 each they have been taking this out since July of last year.
