Corporate Advocacy Program™
The offer/counteroffer was agreeable for but the smallest of details on all points, and we thought we were within days/hours of working out the settlement. But then, late yesterday afternoon, we heard from Chris Kalis, the Attorney representing DealerOne, that he had filed an answer to our suit (meaning, we're going to court), and in our opinion had collapsed the negotiations for settlement.
We must now wait for them to contact us again requesting the settlement negotiations resume, or wait till sometime this spring to meet them in court when a date is eventually set by the court.From the blog of my 3rd Update, we have had yet another victim contact us. Their information was turned over to our Attorney, and was also turned over to the Attorney for the state of Texas.
His case is continuing to enlarge each time I post a blog or an update.It is obvious now with this many victims that surely dozens, perhaps 100's of customers have been scammed by DealerOne of Dallas. Just from my blog alone, we'll probably soon hit double digits from other victims that will be joining the state of Texas for a suit against DealerOne.
It is in this spirit that I ask you again to post, share, copy; and continue to spread the word of my blog to as many of your friends as possible on FaceBook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. A small bit of positive news for us, but negative news for DealerOne. If you go to the Google search engine, and type in the words 'DealerOne Dallas Scam', our blog is at #3 on the search and view list! That is great, as this gets the word out too to help other victims.
Today marks the official launch of Phase 2; which is going to be huge. It is going to take me a lot of time, energy, resources, money, and planning, but we hope to make Phase 2 so successful that DealerOne begins to feel it in their wallets; like they made me feel it in mine.If you are willing to help me as a resource for sharing, voluntarily; please send me a personal note.
For ease of dissemination, a separate email account, another blog, and a new website are in the works by me for launching as part of Phase 2. That plus, it is amazing how many sites are available for reviews posting, Auto Forum postings, Dealer postings; and others sites that (for a fee), help launch your campaign for even greater regional and national exposure.
At last count, I have 45 additional known and reputable websites for reviews/blogging, and sharing.
So, onward we march. I claim a promise of God. I say that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and any tongue that rises against me in judgment I shall show to be in the wrong! This peace, security, and triumph over wrongful opposition is my inheritance as a child of Christ. This is the righteousness which I obtain from my heavenly Father, which He has imparted to me as my justification! I shall not fear, I shall remain steadfast, I shall have strength, as I have the guarantee of His vindication.
My friends; are you with me in this? I sure hope so. Many of you have remained silent; I hope now that I will hear your voice to join with me as a mighty force.
Phase 2 of the battle is on.
3rd Update: Please take the time to read the whole blog post. You'll know in about 3-4 minutes about all the great news that our case has shaped up to be, BUT, I need your help. Yes, I need 100's more, or 1,000's more preferably to read this blog, to post, to share, and to work with me in gathering names of other victims.
We have an Attorney and a member of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles working directly with us to gather names and numbers of other victims.So much has happened since the last update that I will try to keep it as brief as possible, but the events that are shaping up for us are really exciting:We hired Sharon Campbell as our Attorney. Her phone number is 214.351.3260, and I will tell you in a minute why I have posted her phone number.
We have officially filed a lawsuit against Will Monroe and Dealer One in District Court, and all parties have been served.We have been working with Justin White of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and his phone number is 817.284.6524. Justin has been trying to get to Will Monroe for some time now, and stated that Will has a history of fraud with other companies. (Wow! That was the first bomb shell).
They are working closely with us and trying to get enough of a case for a full indictment with the District Attorney to try and shut down Dealer One, access fines, and pull the dealer license.Justin White found out that the car we purchased had indeed been wrecked in Miami, FL, and that the dealer in Florida had disclosed this fact to Will Monroe to remove them from any liability.
But, Will Monroe and Dealer One chose to cover up the details of the wreck from us, and sold the car to us as a non-wrecked vehicle; which is against the law.We have made repairs to the car, and are driving it, while awaiting our day in court. It still has problems, as we only made enough repairs to make it safe to drive.
We have an expert witness lined up to testify about the damaged parts, complete with pictures and written evidence. We have found out that the extended warranty we thought we were purchasing, was going to be directly from Infiniti, as that is what we were told. But, the extended warranty was not an extended warranty at all, it was a duplicate warranty, issued by CARS, a 3rd party warranty company. AND, it was only issued because Will Monroe forged my signature to the application. It wasn't even a good forgery either ~ not even close.
We paid $1,890 for this part of the fraud. Guess what Will paid? $995. That's right, a 100% mark up! What a total rip off artist he is, and digging his own grave with a forged document ~ just plain stupid too.
Because of the first blog post, another Plaintiff has come forward, contacted me directly about his problem with Will Monroe and Dealer One. And, he has since hired Sharon Campbell as well, and he has filed a lawsuit against them as well! He will be one of our witnesses. This is really great news. Sharon Campbell has requested that because of my blog; that if any other victims have been effected, to immediately call her at the number listed above.
She wants to talk to them about filing a lawsuit on their behalf. She has me, plus one more in separate lawsuits against Dealer One, and believes there are potentially many other victims based on information received from Justin White.For this reason, I ask that you post and share this blog multiple times with your FaceBook and LinkedIn friends. You never know how many other victims might be able to be made whole as we try to spread the word of Dealer One's egregious fraud. Please post. Please share. Thank you.
Additionally, because of the blog, and because of our efforts of working with Justin White, Justin has added two other victims to his list that have specific issues with Will Monroe and Dealer One on specific complaints that he has added. And he too has requested that if anyone else can come forward, to please call him immediately at the number listed above, as he intends to pursue action against Will Monroe and Dealer One as far as the law allows.Thank you for your help. Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your prayers. Can I count on you to post, and to share with others?We are going to win this. We are not giving up the fight.
POST 2:Thanks so much to each of you that have read, shared, and reposted this blog. The more we can get this out, the less likely others will fall prey. Thank you for your comments and for your prayers. The fight appears to be a long one. This is my first update. Please post and share with others on your FaceBook.
The Police Detective recommended pursuing our case in civil court. Even though it was found that on top of everything else, that Will Monroe stole another $1,890 from us via a fraudulent extended warranty that was never actually purchased; the Detective said this would have to be added to the civil claim.We had no idea that auto-scamming was such big business, but it is, especially in Dallas.
The largest law firm in Dallas that specializes in this category is so over-burdened with cases that they were not able to take ours; though they wanted to. They referred us to another firm that specializes in Dallas auto fraud, and we hired one of their Attorney's last Friday. She believes that our case is winnable, and believes in it so much that she agreed to accept our case on a contingency fee basis.
She has already begun working on it for us, but has prepared us for a long 6-12 month journey before it actually makes it to court.The Texas Attorney General has sent us correspondence saying they have begun an investigation. The Dallas BBB has processed the complaint, and will work with us through their legal mediation department.We were advised to repair the car, so after sitting in the garage for one month, we have a mechanic making repairs that will be used as our 'expert' witness with his certifications.Thanks again for your support.
The fight has just begun
POST 1:Here is my original blog in case you have not yet read about it:Please copy this blog to your Facebook, and forward to as many others as possible. We're just trying to keep this business from scamming other innocent victims, as they just did to us.
During the week of 7/16, we exchanged a multitude of texts and e-mails with Will Monroe related to a 2012 Infiniti G37 that he had advertised on AutoTrader. During the week of 7/23, we made arrangements to purchase the vehicle, submitted a deposit, and made arrangements for travel to pick up the car. All of our communications with Will were answered as "this car is virtually new, it's got a clean CarFax, it is incredible, and we have had good experiences with Geico owned cars in the past."
Nothing was disclosed at any time that the car had been wrecked, or had hidden damage. Will assured us from the start that there was nothing wrong with the car. After we submitted the deposit, Will received the car, inspected the car, prepared it for delivery, and said there was nothing wrong with the car.
We traveled from Tulsa to Dallas to purchase the car. Upon arrival, Will said there was nothing wrong with the car. We took it for a test drive, and I made the comment about how creakity it was, and why it made so many sounds. Will said that was normal for Infiniti, and since I've never owned one, I took it as truthful. The creaks continued, and became so annoying that we took the car in for service at the local Infiniti dealer.
On 8/2, less than one week from owning the car, our service advisor and ASE certified technician, disclosed that the car had been wrecked. He said someone had taken the carDukes of Hazzard, that it had become airborne, and that it had sustained substantial damage underneath. The right inner tie rod is bent, the sway bar is bent, the motor mounts are broken. The right front rim is damaged, and the inner part of the right tire is shredding.
Cost to repair is $4,120 with additional repairs possible. It could need struts and strut plates after initial repair for another $1,200. Will Monroe of DealerOne said again the car did not have damage, and was unwilling to cancel our transaction and purchase the car back from us that he sold to us using fraudulent pretense.
Dealer One is operating a scam, and is selling wrecked cars to unsuspected customers, claiming they have no damage, when in fact, this very car is not able to be driven on the road until the damages are repaired. Someone needs to stop DealerOne before more customers are scammed into buying wrecked cars.
DealerOne is not willing to accept any responsibility for what they have done.
This report has been submitted to the Dallas BBB, the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, the Addison Police Department, the Texas Attorney General's office, The Internet IC3 Fraud Division, the AutoTrader.com Scam Department, and the law offices of Dean Malone.

There is no such thing as normal. I thought I'd clarify that. I am like all the rest of the lazy college students there except from a few things. One my friends are awesome and childish and I love them because of that. Two I might not like the work in health and social but hell Ive made two friends and a wierdo in this short amount of time. Last but not least my height, I am as Rosie calls me either 'small person' or 'half dwarf' she is the only one to get away with it except my uncle. Anyway hope you like the work that I will be creating.
My the power of one story includes many manga and anime that definately dont belong to me. My story 'wish upon an idol' will be started during the easter holidays. My story with Alex Mercer will also be started soon enough. Project delinquent camp is ready to be uploaded and so are the latest chapters of the power of one and the first two chapters of royal disappearancd only need to be typed up. In months time my account will be blooming. I hope you are looking forward to my work and comment please and give me feedback much appreciated.

There is certainly a reason why their service is half the price of the cheapest competitor.
They simply take your fees and then their customer service stops caring about you, nor do they ever provide you with a refund if you request it.

In case Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was the only person on the planet to not know that his performance in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 19 was less than spectacular, on Wednesday Sens. Arlen Specter and Patrick Leahy helpfully served him a letter full of constructive criticism, and a mandate that he provide more information "within a week."
talkingpointsmemo.com posted a copy of the letter:
"You spent weeks preparing for the April 19th hearing. Yet during your testimony, in response to questions from Senators on both sides of the aisle, you often responded that you could not recall. By some counts you failed to answer more than 100 questions, by other counts more than 70, but the most conservative count had you failing to provide answers well over 60 times."

We are treating ourselves this summer- been a LONG hard fall/winter/spring.... we need a change of scenery.
My Dad moved to FL recently and we will go visit him at the end of June for a week!
We are taking the 4 of us to the Dominican Republic for some R&R... I plan to do as little as possible and enjoy staring at the Ocean and seeing the beautiful blue skies!

That sounds great Jen!
DH and I just got back from a weekend away for our anniversary- after an awful winter/spring, we needed some R&R badly!
We're going on a couple of family camping trips. It'll be nice to get outdoors and the parks are on the beach so sand and sun too!

Oh, I came to the right place for camping-with-kids advice! We're doing two camping trips this summer. A practice trip for 2 nights an hour away and then our bigger trip in August for 4 nights. We haven't camped since having kids, so this is all new. We had to do some serious gear upgrading to accomodate 3 kids! Anyone have favorite meals for camping?
The rest of the time is just regular summer stuff: play dates, parks, zoo, beach, swim lessons. And lots of playing in the backyard.
Not much here. We had a weekend trip to Galveston a few weeks back. Maybe a trip to see my in laws at the end of summer, but no plans yet.
Just trying to stay busy.
Miles 6/7/10, ^Oliver^ 12/28/12, D&C 8/23/13
camping meals: breakfast -- oatmeal is easy and requires no milk. Boxed premium mac and cheese (like Annie's) is an easy lunch. So are peanut butter sandwiches. We used to bring fruit like apples and oranges, and fresh vegies that don't require refridgeration. Raisins and dried cranberries make good snacks. DD loves trail mixes, and it's usually a special treat for camping trips.
Now we camp with a pop-up, so we have a small fridge. Friends of ours have a cooler that plugs into the car to keep things cool. With a fridge or cooler, you can make stuff ahead of time [like spaghetti and meatballs] and just warm them up over the campfire.

Summer is a long way out for us as we are in the middle of winter now (Southern Hemisphere) but... hoping to get a couple of days away soon to take Master 2 to the snow for the first time. Im considering timing it for my angel's DD mid july
Liz - get one of those tostie sandwich makers that you can pop on the camp fire (or the gas cooker, and actually DH puts it on the cook top at home too!), kids love it, and they are super yummy. All you need are some basic fillings like cheese, onion, pineapple, etc and bread.
We just got back from a week in Disneyworld and had a great time. We met my bil and sil and the kids had a good time.
This weekend we are going to New Braunfels, TX for quick trip. In July, we are going to NYC for a week. My DH is from NJ and we have not been back in several years.
In August, we are going to San Antonio for our annual trip to visit my cousins.
We will also take some day trips to Galveston. I am trying to keep these kids busy and also spend some time with them. It gets very crazy during the school and the trips provide us with quality time together.

That sort of error did I get when I tried to install it.
I got this same error when I tried to install it. The install was successful, activation failed. WP also can't seem to see it in the list of installed plugs.
The plugin won't activate once its installed and gives the error "This plugin has no header".
I'm on the latest version - WPMU 3.0.1 . I tested it on a local install, haven't tried it on a remote server yet.
Hm, I just tried to install it (not remembering that I already had) and WP gives it as 'already installed', but it's not in my list of plugins, probably because of the missing header.......
I've got the same error: "This plugin has no header". Installation works but activation didn't.
Yep, same error here. Would be really nice if it could be fixed. It seems to be the only (until now) working multisite search around except the premium version of Relevansii.

2014 Mahashtami, Durgashtami
Mahashtami, also known as Maha Durga Ashtami, is second day of Durga Puja. Maha Ashtami is one of the most important days of Durga Puja. Durga Puja on Maha Ashtami begins with Mahasnan and Shodashopachar Puja (षोडशोपचार पूजा) which is very much similar to Maha Saptami Puja except Prana Pratishtha (प्राण प्रतिष्ठा) which is done only once on Maha Saptami.
On Maha Ashtami nine small pots are installed and nine Shaktis of Durga are invoked in them. All nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped during Maha Ashtami Puja.
Young unmarried girls, being treated as Goddess Durga itself, are also worshipped on Maha Ashtami. Worshipping of young girls during Durga Puja is known as Kumari Puja. In many regions Kumari Puja is done during all nine days of Durga Navratri. Kumari Puja on a single day during Durga Puja is preferred on Maha Ashtami.
The legendary Sandhi Puja is also falls on Maha Asthami. The time window of the last 24 minutes of Ashtami Tithi and the first 24 minutes of Navami Tithi is known as Sandhi Time or the holy juncture during Durga Puja. Sandhi time is considered the most auspicious time during whole Durga Puja. Sandhi Puja is the culmination point and the most important ritual of Durga Puja. It is customary to perform Balidan or animal sacrifice at this sacred juncture. Devotees who abstain from animal sacrifice perform symbolic Bali with vegetables like banana, cucumber or pumpkin. For Brahmins any type of animal sacrifice is prohibited by scriptures and Brahmin community does only symbolic Bali. Even the famous Belur Math in West Bengal does symbolic Bali with banana during Sandhi Puja. It is customary to light 108 earthen lamps during Sandhi Kaal.
Items needed for Ashtami Puja of Goddess Durga:
Food Offerings : Fruits, items for bhog, items for arati, 40 or 22 bowls of madhupakka, honey, sugar, curd, ghee, 40 or 22 noibiddos, four small noibiddos.
Cloth Offerings : One sari for Durga, new clothes for Lakshmi, Saraswati, Chandi, Kartik, Ganesh, Shiva, Vishnu, nine planets, the peacock, mouse, lion, demon, buffalo, ox, snake, Jaya, Bijoya and Ram.
Puja Items : One dantakashto, 40 or 22 finger rings made of kusha, one nosering, iron, two conch shells, a box of vermillion, flowers, a garland, belpatra garland, one chandmala, one ghoti.
For Sandhi Puja – Flowers, gold ring, a bronze bowl for madhupakka, a small sari, main noibiddo, one small noibiddo, one plate, one pitcher, iron, one nosering, one pillow, a mat, a chandmala, 108 earthen lamps, items for bhog, and items for the arati .


text: LGBT Wyoming Lawmakers Oppose New Gun Measures In Wake Of Orlando By Matt Laslo • Jun 17, 2016 M&R Glasgow, Flickr Creative Commons In the wake of the tragic slayings in Orlando last weekend, gun-control unexpectedly dominated Congress this week. For Democrats the slaughter of 49 people at the Orlando LGBT club was the last straw and they're calling for overhauling the nation's lax gun laws. On Monday, the House dedicated a moment of silence to the victims, and Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes and a few other Democrats walked out of the chamber. Wyoming Communities Hold Vigils For Orlando Shooting Victims By Caroline Ballard • Jun 13, 2016 Flicker Creative Commons, by L.C. Nøttaasen After Sunday's mass shooting at the gay nightclub PULSE in Orlando, cities and towns around Wyoming are holding vigils to honor the victims. Candlelight vigils are set to take place at the United Church of Christ in Casper at 8:30 tonight, in Laramie at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, and in the Cheyenne Depot Plaza Thursday at 7 p.m. June is Pride Month, and celebrations had already been planned around the state. Jeran Artery, chairman of Wyoming Equality, said he knows people are scared, but that they should not give in to fear. Transgender Laramie Teen Running For School Board Amid School Policy Debate By Aaron Schrank • May 20, 2016 Jennifer Becker At a recent school board meeting, Laramie High School senior Rihanna Kelver showed up to tonight's school board meeting with a call to action. "I am asking that the Board take initiative now to protect these students," Kelver says. "As soon as we lose a student by the 50 percent rate suicide that transgender youth face, the blood will be on our hands." Journalist And Activist Masha Gessen Says U.S. Should Have Better Path For LGBT Refugees By Caroline Ballard • Apr 8, 2016 Wikipedia Commons The Shepard Symposium on Social Justice celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. One of the keynote speakers for the event is Masha Gessen, a Russian-American journalist, author, frequent contributor to the New York Times and New Yorker, and LGBT activist. She joined Wyoming Public Radio's Caroline Ballard for a conversation about Russia's anti-gay campaign and LGBT refugees finding new lives in the United States. Gillette Suicide Concerns The LGBT Community By Bob Beck • Mar 18, 2016 Matthew Shepard Foundation Family members and law enforcement in Gillette fear that the bullying of a gay man in Gillette may have led to a suicide. The issue has once again drawn concern about a variety of issues, including the treatment of LGBT people in the state and whether a hate crime is needed. Jason Marsden is the Executive Director of the Matthew Shepard Foundation and we caught up with him this week as he spoke in Gillette. Gillette Death May Lead To Calls For A Hate Crime Law By Bob Beck • Mar 16, 2016 Matthew Shepard Foundation The apparent suicide of a 20-year-old Gillette man came after he was bullied for being gay. The family of Trevor O'Brien says his car was vandalized in December and police confirm that an anti-gay slur was painted on his car. The fact that these types of incidents continue to occur in Wyoming depresses Jason Marsden. He's the Executive Director of the Matthew Shepard Foundation—and says it's time for Wyoming to reconsider a hate crime law. Laramie Debates Schools' Transgender Student Policy Proposals By Aaron Schrank • Jan 21, 2016 AARON SCHRANK/WPR The Albany County School District #1 Board is considering a policy meant to protect the rights of transgender students. The Board has drafted two different proposals to that end. Both policies would do many of the same things—like require school district staff to address students by the name and pronoun consistent with the gender identity they express at school. 'Patchwork Of Protection' In Rural Areas For LGBT Community Has Limits By Miles Bryan • Nov 2, 2015 Pocatello, Idaho, and Laramie, Wyo., might not be the first places you think of leading the charge to protect the LGBT community from discrimination. But in these rural, Republican-led states, local governments are taking the matter into their own hands. Twenty-year-old college student CylieAnn Erickson was in the room when the city council in Laramie passed its LGBT anti-discrimination bill earlier this year. She says that when the final vote was counted, she breathed a sigh of relief. Author Gregory Hinton Looks To Reclaim LGBT History In The West With New Archive By Caroline Ballard • Oct 21, 2015 Gregory Hinton Wyoming certainly has its place in LGBT history. Now, it will serve as a place where LGBT history in the West can be chronicled, as well. The University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center has a new archive "Out West In The Rockies," which spotlights LGBT history in the American West. Wyoming Public Radio's Caroline Ballard sat down with the co-creator of the archive, Gregory Hinton, who spent his childhood in Wyoming and Montana. Hinton will be speaking about the archive and his own experience growing up in the West at the Sheridan Fulmer Library at 6:30pm Wednesday. Co-Creator Of American Heritage Center's New LGBT Archive To Speak In Sheridan By Caroline Ballard • Oct 21, 2015 American Heritage Center The co-creator of the American Heritage Center's newest archive will visit Sheridan's library. Gregory Hinton is an author and filmmaker. He will be speaking about the archive "Out West In The Rockies," which is focused on the experiences of LGBT people in the American West. Hinton says it's important that the history of LGBT people be accepted as a part of American and Western history, and he says the archive at the American Heritage Center is a good first step. Wyoming Lawmakers Combat Supreme Court's Gay Marriage Ruling By Matt Laslo • Aug 21, 2015 commons.wikimedia.org Now that the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage, conservatives in Congress, including Wyoming Republicans, are debating how to protect religious groups who disagree with the ruling. Many congressional conservatives fear the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling will force religious people and institutions to do things against their faith. Wyoming Senator John Barrasso said some are worried about the ruling. "I think any people of faith always have concerns about anything that comes out that interferes with their belief, religion, and their faith." Laramie Schools Weigh New Policy For Transgender Students By Aaron Schrank • Aug 20, 2015 Alliance for Historic Wyoming via Flickr Creative Commons Officials at Albany County School District One are considering a new policy to protect and support transgender and gender nonconforming students. The proposed policy would prevent schools in Laramie and surrounding areas from requiring students to use restrooms or play on sports teams that conflict with the gender identity they express at school. District assistant superintendent Mike Hamel says the policy lays a broad framework for supporting and protecting transgender students on a case-by case basis, stressing privacy. For Gay Athletes And Fans, Rodeo Is The Last Frontier In Pro Sports By Aaron Schrank • Jul 24, 2015 Aaron Schrank Ryan Reed loves rodeo. And each July, he makes a pilgrimage here, to the so-called "Daddy of 'Em All" in Cheyenne. "You just feel like you're on hallowed ground when you're here." Reed says. Roaming the Frontier Days midway, this amateur steer wrestler and calf roper is like a kid in a candy store. "Yesterday, during the bareback bronc, I actually got some dirt flung on me," says Reed. "I really felt like I'd been hit by some special dirt or something. That's just kind of the feeling I have about the place." Jackson Weighing LGBT Anti-Discrimination Ordinance By Miles Bryan • Jul 20, 2015 The town of Jackson is weighing whether to extend legal protections against discrimination in employment and housing to LGBT people. Jackson already has an LGBT anti-discrimination ordinance that covers public employees, but this policy change would extend that coverage to all Jackson residents. Mayor Sara Flitner says the proposal is modeled after the anti-discrimination measure Laramie recently passed. After Supreme Court Ruling, Wyoming Lawmakers Would Have A Hard Time Fighting Gay Marriage By Miles Bryan • Jun 26, 2015 The U.S. Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal nationwide Friday. That decision means lawmakers in states like Wyoming would have a much harder time challenging the practice. Same-sex marriage became legal in Wyoming back in October, when the 10th Circuit Court ruled it had no other choice. Same-Sex Marriage Here To Stay For Wyoming By Miles Bryan • Jun 26, 2015 Same-sex marriage is now constitutionally guaranteed, here in Wyoming and nationwide. That's from Friday's historic ruling by the Supreme Court. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Wyoming since October, following a ruling by the 10th Circuit court in Denver. But this high court decision means there is no longer any question of whether it will be permanent. Supreme Court Ruling On Gay Marriage Could Mean A Mess For Wyoming By Miles Bryan • Jun 25, 2015 The fate of Wyoming's same-sex couples could be thrown into a legal limbo if the U.S. Supreme Court rules there is no constitutional right to gay marriage. The Court is expected to issue a long-awaited ruling on gay marriage by early July at the latest, and most legal experts think they will find it is constitutionally guaranteed. But if the courts find it is not, states like Wyoming that previously did not allow gay marriage may take steps to ban it once again. University of Wyoming law professor Stephen Feldman says legally, it's unknown territory. New Collection At UW's American Heritage Center Focuses On LGBT Experience In American West By Caroline Ballard • Jun 8, 2015 American Heritage Center The American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming is looking for submissions to its newest archive: "Out West in the Rockies," which is chronicling the experiences of lesbian, gay bisexual, and transgendered people in the American West. Rick Ewig is the Associate Director at the American Heritage Center. He says there are other archival institutions with a focus on LGBT people in other parts of the country. Laramie Passes Wyoming's First Broad LGBT Anti-Discrimination Ordinance By Miles Bryan • May 13, 2015 Aaron Schrank Laramie made history last night when the city council passed Wyoming's first broad ordinance banning discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. The ordinance, which passed by a vote of 7-2, covers public or private employment, housing, and public accommodations like bars or restaurants. The town of Jackson also has an LGBT anti discrimination ordinance on the books, but it only covers public employees. Colorado Gay Men's Choruses To Honor Harvey Milk By Caroline Ballard • May 7, 2015 Denver Gay Men's Chorus On May 10th, the Wyoming premiere of I Am Harvey Milk debuts in Laramie. Created by composer Andrew Lippa, it's part theater, part choral piece, and it all tells the story of Harvey Milk, the first gay and out non-incumbent politician in the U.S. He was assassinated in 1978, just months after taking office as a city supervisor in San Francisco. James Knapp is the artistic director of the Denver Gay Men's Chorus, and Out Loud, Colorado Springs Men's Chorus, the two groups performing the piece. He joined Wyoming Public Radio's Caroline Ballard to talk a little about the show. Self Evident Truths Project Comes To Laramie By Caroline Ballard • Apr 9, 2015 The Shepard Symposium on Social Justice is underway at the University of Wyoming and will be featuring several spotlight events the rest of this week. Two of the events this weekend are photography sessions for The Self Evident Truths Project. iO Tillett Wright is the founder of and photographer for the project, as well as an LGBT activist. She's attempting to photograph 10,000 people in all 50 states who identify as anything other than 100% straight in hopes of showing Americans the diverse makeup of the LGBT community. Laramie Considers LGBT Anti-Discrimination Ordinance By Miles Bryan • Apr 7, 2015 The Laramie City Council gave initial approval to a proposed ordinance that would add employment and housing protections for gay and lesbian residents. This comes after a heavily backed and well funded statewide LGBT anti-discrimination bill died in the state legislature this year. Wyoming Catholic College Says No To Federal Student Loans By Aaron Schrank • Mar 5, 2015 Photo Courtesy Wyoming Catholic College via Facebook Wyoming Catholic College in Lander has decided not to offer federal grants and loans to its students. It says doing so could threaten the school's religious liberties. Last year, the small, 8-year-old college took its first step toward accreditation. The move meant credits earned at W-C-C could be transferred to other schools—and made it eligible for federal loan programs. But the college's Board of Director's voted unanimously last month not to participate in those programs—known as Title IV. LGBT Anti-Discrimination Bill Clears House Committee By Miles Bryan • Feb 20, 2015 Miles Bryan A bill that would protect gay, lesbian, and transgender people from being discriminated against in the workplace and in other locations was approved by the House Health, Labor, and Social Services Committee on Friday. It was standing room only for the entire two hour hearing as people lined up to give testimony. The Wyoming Pastor's Network came out in force against the bill. New Board Pushes For LGBT Workplace Protections In Wyoming By Caroline Ballard • Jan 22, 2015 A board of former politicians, business leaders, and law enforcement is looking to push for employment protections for LGBT people in Wyoming. Currently the state has no workplace protections for LGBT people, which means workers can be fired simply for being gay. Former U.S. Senator Al Simpson is a member of the new board, put together by the advocacy group Compete Wyoming. He says he wants to emphasize this is not about gay marriage. For Those Fired For Being Gay, An Old Court Case Becomes A New Tool By Miles Bryan • Nov 14, 2014 Miles Bryan Josh Kronberg-Rasner was the only openly gay person in his office while he worked for a food service company in Casper. But his sexual orientation never held him back, he says. "I had filled every position from general manager to executive chef," he says. "You name it, I'd done all of it." That changed in the summer of 2012 when Kronberg-Rasner got a new manager, whom Kronberg-Rasner says was uncomfortable working with a gay person. A few weeks after he arrived, the manager went through Kronberg-Rasner's personal phone and found pictures of a male gymnast. Gay People Can Get Legally Married In Wyoming. They Can Also be Legally Fired By Miles Bryan • Oct 24, 2014 Miles Bryan Same sex marriage is now legal in Wyoming, which means same sex couples now have access to all the legal rights that come with marriage. Even so, some disparities remain. For one, Wyoming lacks any legal protection for LGBT people in employment. That means gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in the Cowboy State may be able to be legally married, but they may also be legally fired. Public Opinion On Gay Marriage Shifting In Wyoming By Erin Jones • Jun 27, 2014 wyomingequality.org Public opinion in Wyoming has radically shifted toward legalizing same sex marriage in the last decade. Bills, both legalizing and banning, have been introduced in the state legislature. But nothing has passed. And lawmakers are slow to acknowledge the shift in public opinion. But as Wyoming Public Radio's Erin Jones reports, the legislature might not be where the change happens. ERIN JONES: State Representative Matt Greene grew up without gay marriage on his mind. WY Senate defeats bill prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation By Bob Beck • Jan 31, 2013 Wyoming State Capitol The State Senate defeated a bill that would have prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It would have given gays and lesbians protections in the workplace. Opponents said it could have led to unfair burdens on employers and infringe on religious freedoms. Senator Chris Rothfuss says he's sorry that the bill would be inconvenient for certain employers, but he added that was the point. But Baggs Senator Larry Hicks says the legislation would do little.

Moby-Dick Theme of Man and the Natural World
We don't even have to look at this one symbolically: this is quite literally a book about a dude who goes out into the natural world to kill animals. And by the end of Moby-Dick the score is Natural World: 1, Man: 0.
Beyond Ahab and his whale, though, each character in the novel seems to have a slightly different way of understanding and being in the natural world. Some characters have a healthy respect for the power of Nature; others are so in awe of Nature that they feel themselves dissolving ecstatically into it; still others think of Nature as a collection of resources to be harvested and hunted for man's profit.
Questions About Man and the Natural World
- Which character in Moby-Dick seems to have the healthiest relationship to the natural world? (Consider Ahab, Ishmael, the mates, and the harpooneers.)
- Does the author's tone seem to endorse one perspective on Nature more than the others? If so, which one, and how can you tell?
- How did you react to Ishmael's moment of pantheism, when he dissolves into the natural world around him (Chapter 35)? Is Ishmael transcendent, ridiculous, inspirational, delusional? Something else?
- Where does the novel find value in the natural world? Is Nature important because men hunt, fish, harvest, and otherwise make use of things they find to survive and profit? Does it have value outside of its uses for mankind?
- Is Nature in Moby-Dick a conscious, active power, or just a passive collection of animals and elements?
- Does Nature seem to have personality or force here, or is it impersonal and random?
Chew on This
Nature itself, personified through the white whale, is the most significant antagonist in Moby-Dick, so man's struggle to survive in (and profit from) Nature is more intense even than crazy Ahab's desire for vengeance.
Moby-Dick teaches us to understand Nature as an impersonal backdrop, something that is simply a setting in which human beings act out their own neuroses.

by Shad Meshad, National Veterans Foundation Founder & President
As someone who has been diagnosing and treating Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) for more than 30 years, I applaud VA for their recent decision to make it easier for veterans to receive PTSD disability benefits.
For years, Vets have been in the difficult position of having to prove the traumatic incident that was the genesis of their PTSD. You'd think this would be easy, but it was a rule that discouraged and prevented many Veterans from seeking or receiving the benefits that they needed and deserved.
One of the issues was record keeping. Many battlefield incidents are not properly documented, especially when they involve troops whose military jobs are not technically combat related. But in Iraq and Afghanistan, a road-side bomb, a sniper or an RPG can come at any time, from almost anywhere and there are service members who aren't infantry who are finding them themselves in combat. This includes troops who witness the horrors of war in military hospitals, at checkpoints, and those that go in and clean up the bodies after a bomb blast or firefight.
Compounding this problem has been the antiquated record keeping systems at Department of Defense and VA. Most records are still not computerized, and those that are stored electronically are not shared between the two agencies. So veterans, already suffering from debilitating PTSD, were forced to chase down their military documents, often one a time, to submit to VA. And too often those paper documents were lost in the system.
This new guideline, which makes a PTSD disability rating available to a veteran who served in a combat zone, without making him or her document the incident that caused their PTSD, is a great step forward by VA in getting men and women who have served the benefits and the treatment they have earned. The National Veterans Foundation has received hundreds of calls from veterans who were declined for PTSD disability benefits or gave up in frustration, and we are now calling these men and women with the good news, encouraging them to reapply for their benefits.
There is still more progress to be made. VA continues to require that PTSD diagnoses be made by a VA mental health professional, which can be one more obstacle to a veteran receiving the proper diagnosis. Many veteran advocates argue that VA doctors are pressured to limit the number of PTSD diagnoses. Some veterans are also more hesitant to see a government doctor, especially former soldiers who have had negative experiences with the military system, and don't trust these institutions. There are many qualified civilian physicians who specialize in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder who are perfectly capable of diagnosing the condition, and those diagnoses should be honored by VA.
For information veterans can call the National Veterans Foundation Lifeline for Vets™ at 888-777-4443 or visit our website at www.nvf.org.

Does anyone know of an easy way to get a paragraph or two of static HTML/text to display at the top of each category page, before the listing of posts? for the purpose of explaining what goes on in that category?
Does anyone know of an easy way to get a paragraph or two of static HTML/text to display at the top of each category page, before the listing of posts? for the purpose of explaining what goes on in that category?
I've been looking for the same functionality. Right now it seems to me that WP is missing three key functionalities:
1. The ability to allocate custom templates to each category.
2. 'Sticky' posts, as found in Expression Engine.
3. Multiple blogs from one install. (I know that's coming).
Don't get me wrong, I think WP is generally a great, quick and easy to use product, I think the community rocks and I am in total support of open source Software. Its just that for my personal CMS needs WP doesn't quite deliver just yet.
1. i use customized rewrite rules to have custom templates.
2. isn't there a plugin for sticky posts?
It is my understanding that while #3 is "one the way", the first two can be done, and there are threads explaining #1 and plugins for #2.
scroll down Owen's WordPress Hacks page to adhesive. i've never used it, but it looks promising.
jbickers, i'd probably use an if statement to check for the category number and utilize an include to insert the text you want from a file.
For #1, to show category description at top of category page (I'm assuming that the text you want at the top of the category pages is the description you defined for the category in the Admin section)
In index.php, look for this:
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
Change it to this:
<?php if ($posts) : ?>
<?php if ($cat) : ?>
<p class="cat-description"><?php echo category_description(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
You'll see the category description, and will be able to style it with CSS by addressing the 'cat-description' class.
I would like to do this for 1.5 - Is this possible? All help is appreciated.
I couldn't find the code you mentioned above that I needed to replace. Is it in a special place for the Blix theme?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Hi, I'm using Gravity forms with the Event Calendar Pro to submit events to my site in two languages (English and Hebrew).
I'm trying to automate the form. I'm saving all the fields from the form for the other language in custom fields.
I'd like to be able to automatically duplicate the post with all it's content, or create the WPML translation version of the post and feeding all the information from the custom fields.
How would I go about to achieving that?
I'm guessing it will be something like:
At post submission do:
duplicate the post with same content.
change the language
set the relationship as translation to the other post.
set all the fields with the language custom fields.
Would appreciate any help, thank you.

Newark, Ohio (AP) -- The Longaberger Basket Company is laying off 125 of its manufacturing employees and turning control of a shipping center over to another company.
The Newark, Ohio-based Longaberger Co. said Monday that the 100 people who work at the order fulfillment center in Frazeysburg in eastern Ohio will need to reapply for their jobs under the facility's new management.
The reduction in manufacturing jobs is typical for Longaberger at this time of year, in anticipation of slower business after the holidays.
The company said in a statement that sales met expectations during the final months of 2009.
Spokesman Tom Matthews says the cuts will leave Longaberger with about 1,300 employees, down from roughly 2,000 last January.

This company shows up a lot on ROR. To the OP - I empathize with your situation and wish there was some legal recourse for you but I don't think there is. You might consider screening your calls...
To Karl - your blatant generalization of car dealers is just plain stupid. But I am surprised that you didn't post one of your equally ridiculous poems or websites where all is explained by some hypothetical expert.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
