Doesn't SCOTUS have original jurisdiction because a state (Virginia) is a party to the lawsuit?
I could almost guarantee that Missouri won't be. My state fell to Democrats...AG is Dem, Governor is Dem. However our Lt Governor is Republican...go figure.
Umm, as a resident of Kansas, I don't like being the southern border of wtf country. Wow.
Secede? What the hell for? They've already seceded from the Constitution. All that should be needed is for the rest of us to formally acknowledge their breach with us and with the Constitution, and that they're no longer part of these United States.
Just simply secede.It is Texas right to do so.
The lines aren't drawn yet, but the fact remains that the States CANNOT afford ObamaCare. Something's going to have to give.
That said, the Federal government would fight it to the end, as the Obama Land Grab (including that via EPA regulation, and Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae) is the ONLY way to collateralize the Federal debt to foreign and private lenders.
There simply isn't enough gold to cover the existing $12.4 trillion federal debt or the $24 trillion in debt projected by 2020. The GDP is only $12 trillion.
Frankly, I don't care what you want.
What an ignorant post.
Then you don't speak normal English, eh??? You bought yer first pair of shoes yet??? You'll like 'em...They keep your feet clean...
Stay strong and stay patient. We're going to retake control of our government and our country in the next three years. The GOP will retake control of the House in 2010 and then take control of the Senate and the White House in 2012. There are many reasons why this will happen but the biggest reason is that liberals do not understand economics and free enterprise and don't know how to implement policies that generate strong economic growth and low unemployment. Despite the recent cheerleading and positive spinning of the economic news by the liberally-biased MSM, the US economy will still be very weak in November, 2010 and will still be in bad condition in November, 2012. Growth will start to slow down soon and unemployment will remain stubbornly high until the GOP retakes control of congress and the White House and stops the democrats' solemn march towards socialism and away from economic freedom.
The clincher in 2012 will be energy policy and energy prices, as I've written before here on FR. Because of misguided environmentalist ideology, America is not using our vast energy resources and we're not producing enough energy here at home. Global energy prices will continue to rise in the next three years because of strongly rising demand in emerging countries (especially China and India). Oil will move above $100 per barrel later this year or next year, and the response to oil inflation by the moronic democrat leaders will probably be (incredibly) to tax our domestic energy industry more heavily to punish it for rising global oil prices caused mainly by rising demand in emerging economies and restrictions on offshore drilling in the US. The twisted liberal rationale for higher taxes will be something like..."well you oil men failed to produce enough oil here in America and now you're making too much profit this month and prices are now back above $100 so we're going to tax you as punishment." What the liberals, in their economic ignorance don't understand, is that higher oil prices and higher profits in the short term in the oil industry, are necessary incentives to free people to invest in more oil drilling and exploration. The liberals furthermore do not understand that the temporary surge in profits will subside over time as prices for all oil drilling supplies and services also rise in a signal to all suppliers to increase their investment in productive capacity. This price increase then moves all the way down the supply chain to the producers of steel, aluminum, motor vehicles, and all kinds of industrial equipment used in oil production (pumps, compressors, valves, etc). After all the price increases occur the profit margins for the oil producers at the top of the supply chain will decline back to normal long-term margins. These profits margins are not excessive "windfall" profit margins in any way and are generally well below the after-tax profit margins of many technology and health care companies. The end results of the punitive taxation of our oil industry will be lower production and skyrocketing energy prices. If significant new taxes on our oil industry are enacted in response to high oil prices, global oil prices will move up over $125 in 2012 and gasoline prices will move up over $4 per gallon. Even without any new taxes, because of all the restrictions on offshore drilling in the US, global oil prices will move up over $100 and gasoline will be pushing $4 per gallon in 2012. (BTW, There's absolutely no good reason why the federal government should not end all federal restrictions on offshore drilling and leave these policy decisions up to the states to decide where offshore drilling should be allowed.)
Because of all the misguided energy policies of the current administration and congress, energy prices will move steadily higher and by 2012 our economy will most likely be growing slowly and fighting serious energy inflation. Because of higher taxes on business and higher personal income taxes on entrepreneurs, job growth will remain sluggish and unemployment will still be over 8% in November 2012. This climate of stagflation (caused by policies that restrict domestic production and job growth), will be the biggest reason why the GOP retakes complete control of congress and the White House in 2012. There will be a lot of other reasons for our return to power, but the economy, as always, will be the biggest driving force in that election.
Thanks for the info.
You're welcome! I'm more fired up than I've ever been to defeat the democrat machine in 2010 and 2012. We're gonna throw a ton of gravel into the gears of their machine.
Boehner remarked on the house floor last night that 27 or 28 (I'm don't remember exactly which now, I heard both through the course of the day) states were preparing constitutional challenges and said, "That's enough for a constitutional amendment."
Good post.
I don't know how to say what Graham will do, he certainly seems to be the opposite of what he seemed to be when he was leading the house on the impeachment of Clinton. We seem to have possibly the best senator in the nation in Jim Demint but we have one of the worst rinos in Graham. We won't get a chance to vote him out for more than four years and at this rate there won't be any country left in four years.
People outside of Texas love to spout that crap.
This ain't our first rodeo.
Please consider moving into a liberal area like Houston or Austin..we need to start taking those cities back from the commies.
Just sayin...
You sound like you are tuned into SC politics. Question for ya, how did Miss Lindsey survive the 2008 election? Did he have a GOP opponent in the primary? Was his dem opponent worde? Is any dem in SC worse?
Just curious, thx.
1. Amendment proposed by Congress and passed by 2/3s of both chambers, then sent for ratification by 3/4s of states.
2. Amendment proposed by Congress and passed by 2/3s of both chambers, then sent for ratification by 3/4s of state conventions. (A state convention is a political body outside of the elected state legislature and is comprised of elected members or delegates).
3. Amendment proposed by Constitutional Convention of all states (Convention called by 2/3s of state legislatures), then sent for ratification by 3/4s of states (ratify by state means simple majority vote by state legislature).
4. Amendment proposed by Constitutional Convention of all states (Convention called by 2/3s of state legislatures), then sent for ratification by 3/4s of state conventions. (A state convention is a political body outside of the elected state legislature and is comprised of elected members or delegates).
To make it easy on the eyes:
1. Congress -—> States
2. Congress -—> State Conventions
3. Convention -—> States
4. Convention -—> State Conventions
Who can make a PROPOSAL FOR AN AMENDMENT? Congress or Convention.
What's the PASS THRESHOLD ON CONGRESS making amendment proposals? 2/3s in both chambers of Congress.
What's the CHECK ON CONVENTION making amendment proposals?
2/3s of state legislatures.
There has been unfortunate misleading information on amendment by Convention, that somehow it can be opened wide for all sorts of shenanigans. But the convention is very strictly called and cannot go beyond the issues for which it is called. Why?
In order to call for a Constitutional Convention, 2/3s of the state legislatures must 'apply' to Congress and then Congress MUST CONVENE the convention. The purpose of the convention is to PROPOSE AMENDMENT(S), NOT PASS THEM!
That's where the fear and paranoia set in, OMG people from who knows where are going to hold a convention party and change everything. Nonsense!
For the purpose of argument, say a convention is called by the Congress at behest of 2/3s of states (Congress has no choice). Did 34 states decide to hold a convention about nothing? or whatever rings one's chimes? No! They have a purpose, they have amendments in mind.
And when we say states, we mean the legislatures. How to coordinate all these legislatures? Well Obama seems to be helping us out just fine in that department, motivating us to move to state nullification of his commie-care law. But there is a bipartisan organization of state legislators from all states called the American Legislative Exchange Council and they can be useful.
So say a Convention is put together. Do they throw a month long backslapping dance party? No! They are comprised of members chosen by Congress to propose amendments with a time and budget limit.
So are they going to propose that the US Constitution be overturned, that the bill of rights be void? etc. Are they going to propose Sharia Law to be imposed? Are they going to do whatever they damn well want? No! Because whatever they propose is going back to the states.
So why don't the states just propose what they want? Answer: they probably will.
So does that mean Chicago Illinois is going to propose that ACORN determine the daily schedules and liberties of all Americans? Well maybe but chances are that Dallas Texas is not going to allow it.
See what is happening here?
A Convention is going to be summoned by the states and called by Congress with heavy input from the states as to WHY IT IS BEING CALLED, WHAT IS TO BE PROPOSED.
And then it is going back to the states or state conventions for ratification by 3/4s of them (38 states or 38 state conventions).
So we as conservatives have the most states, the red states. If we call a Convention, the liberals would have their pants full of warm smelly brown fecal matter! They would be trembling with fear!
That's the power we have as conservatives and we should use it NOW!
We should propose repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments, because that alone will end socialism in the United States for the foreseeable feature! We can also propose an amendment to prohibit the federal government from passing unfunded mandates to the States. We can for future generations of Americans amend our Constitution to preserve freedom and promote conservative values.
And absolutely - get rid of the 16th. And I wouldn't mind the 17th, too.
Of course, even if I'm correct about the Constitution's wording not allowing willy-nilly overthrow of itself, I would never put it past some tyrants to simply declare it null and put martial law in place to show us so.
I don't think he had an opponent in the primary and yes, as bad as he is almost any rat is worse. Never fall for that old line that we can't do worse, that is what people told me about G.W. Bush and I don't know about you but I think we are doing several times worse if there was any way to quantify that sort of thing. Believe it or not there is someone out there who would be worse than Obama, strange as that may sound.
OK - on Malkin's site in article dated for yesterday, here's the AG suit count (so far!): VA, SC, FL, TX, Nebraska, Utah, ND, SD, Washington state, PA, OK, AL. Expect that LA will eventually join the fray and perhaps a few others.
There are, in addition, 37-38 states which have anti-Ocare legislation on the books are in the process, from what I gather. Take heart! We have but begun to fight!!
Should be "OR are in the process". Sorry!
Now that the camel's nose is under the tent you betcha!! Millions of auto-progressives at his service!
and you can be sure they WILL get away with it...mark my words...
She's a FREEPER!!!!!
I just read where Idaho is joining the lawsuit:
AG Abbott has nothing to do with Congress. He is the chief law enforcement officer in the state; it is his job to prosecute election fraud. Sending a letter to Boyd Richie asking on what documentary basis he - Mr. Richie - ascertained BO is a NBC before swearing he was, to state election officials, costs the price of the stamp and the time it takes to write the letter.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
AUTHOR: Anonymous Former Consultant - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 06, 2009POSTED: Friday, March 06, 2009
I worked for A Candid Image. I know for a fact that there is at least one couple who are having issues with them right now. There wedding date is 3/22/09. I can provide you with emails & contact information for the couple. I feel sorry for them that this company is so completley bogus.
I cannot believe that these people have been awarded Best of the Knot in 2007, 2008, and 2009 in EVERY SINGLE MARKET that they are in. They are horrible and very unprofessional. I was promised training and it was never provided. They do not pay their consultants, videographers or photographers on time. When they do decide to pay the checks bounce. This company is based in Massachusetts and has "offices" all over the US. These offices are basically addresses provided by UPS STORE. The company has had at least 2 names in the past 3 years....A CANDID IMAGE & A FINE IMAGE. The change office locations like I change nail polish and will completely mislead everyone.
I started working for them last year and at the beginning of the year Mark Zaki decided not to pursue the market canceling all advertising. I was never informed of this and only found out when I became concerned when I was not receiving any email leads. I sent an email and after the 4th time I resent my email was finally answered with a phone call stating that they canceled all the advertising two weeks prior. CURRENTLY, THEY HIRED A NEW PERSON AND WILL CONTINUE TO RIP PEOPLE OFF IN DALLAS!!!
When I first accepted employment I was told I would be trained and that the owners Mark Zaki & Jennifer Jakulyte would be available to answer any questions. That was a lie. The girl I leaving was going to manage the rest of her weddings and I would get trained by her. This did not happen. I was offered the opportunity to stay on overseeing the remainder of the weddings because the woman I replaced had no interest in continuing her relationship with A CANDID IMAGE. I was also offered the commission on any remaining weddings the problem is that I had to do all the work until 30 days before the wedding to see any money. I agreed because I was told that all her weddings were taken care of and just needed payment reminders sent. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!!! A few weddings had no photographers scheduled, others had photographers canceling after lack of payment for previous weddings or bounced checks, and brides were calling for weddings at the end of 2008 because they were missing albums and prints.
IT BECAME A TOTAL NIGHTMARE --- I had no way to help these people or confirm anything they had to say since I was never supplied any paperwork or documentation for them. It took me about a week before I decided to end my employment with them. All this time, I was not paid a single dollar to take their collection calls, handle customer service issues, find new photographers/videographers to take over their mess and make them money. WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!!!
After I terminated my contract employment, I was verbally abused via telephone by the owner Mark Zaki when he did not receive the ups package with their company property. He called me a wide variety of names which I do not even use in my personal life all vulgar. He continued to berate me calling me a stupid woman and how I disgusted him. He told my that my husband was an idiot for marrying me and he would make sure that he left me. He called my references and threatened to sue them for $10,000 each. They did not know who he was because he never even called them prior to offering me my contract employment. He only called when he felt he needed to be unprofessional.
Mark Zaki contacted at least one photographer and brides to tell them that the two previous consultants were stupid and worthless women who were bimbos. He completely talk down about us and the one photographer knew both myself and the previous girl and stated she felt the problem lied with him and his company. This made him angry and he changed the subject.
He threatened me that he would have me thrown in jail for withholding his company property, he threatened to take my home and car away from me. He also stated he would call every employer that I have ever worked for and make it impossible for me to ever get a job again. I have emails I can provide anyone with the information above and how completely unprofessional the man is.
I was going to be professional about this and let it go, but the more I thought about it I realized that by not coming forward I was only hurting future brides and potential employees that could be suckered by this man, his wife & their company.
I am not posting this as a disgruntled employee, I am posting this as someone who planned my wedding in 2006 using mostly THE KNOT vendors and checking out references on the BBB. Please take the time to research this company via Google & the BBB. All it takes is 5 minutes and you will find that they are not what they seem. The potential for a few extra dollars is not worth all of the hassle and frustration this company will cause you.
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?

The Crafty Traveller: Shop around and bag yourself the most comfortable flight
When it comes to choosing which airline to fly with, we often base our selection on price, convenience and flight times. But another important factor is comfort - particularly on long-haul flights.
Have airlines really progressed when it comes to comfort? Use a specialist to find the best seats going
Some airlines feature roomier and more up-to-date cabins and seating, and include new types of aircraft in their fleets that are making flying a more pleasant experience.
Here are some pointers on what's on offer, and how to go about making your next long-haul journey as comfy as possible.
The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner has had a bumpy introduction due to various technical glitches. Nonetheless, the aircraft offer passengers a more spacious cabin, larger windows and a mood lighting system. Also, the ride is less noisy than in older aircraft and the air inside the cabin is less dry, meaning you should arrive fresher.
Thomson has led the way with Dreamliner services from the UK. This winter, it will be flying them to Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Kenya, the Maldives, Mexico and Thailand, though not on all services, so be sure to check at holidaysjustgotbetter.thomson.co.uk.
Note that the legroom in economy on Thomson's Dreamliners is a couple of inches more generous than with most other airlines that fly long-haul.
British Airways (ba.com) has also just begun operating the Dreamliner on some of its flights between Heathrow and Toronto, and Heathrow and New York (Newark).
Vast improvement: The new Dreamliner plane has roomier cabins and bigger windows
A380s - the world's largest passenger aircraft, with double decks running their full length - also offer more spacious cabins and are significantly quieter than other planes. These 'superjumbos' are gradually coming into service with more airlines. For example, last month British Airways began operating the A380 on some Heathrow to Los Angeles services. From Tuesday it will be using the aircraft on selected flights between Heathrow and Hong Kong, and from February 12 next year they will fly between Heathrow and Johannesburg.
For example, if you're flying to Singapore, consider travelling with Singapore Airlines (singaporeair.com). On some of its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, it has just introduced more spacious and comfy seats, along with a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system that it claims are the world's most advanced, across all classes of cabin. The improvements are available on selected Heathrow to Singapore services, daily from the end of October.
I can tell you that from the UK, currently you can also fly the Dreamliner with Air India (to Delhi) and Qatar Airways (to Doha), and the A380 with Emirates (to Dubai), Malaysia Airlines (to Kuala Lumpur), Qantas (to Sydney via Dubai) and Singapore Airlines (to Singapore). But it's taken me a fair bit of digging around to work all that out.
Flight specialists such as Trailfinders (trailfinders.com, 020 7368 1200) and DialAFlight (dialaflight.com, 0844 556 6060) have experienced sales staff who know, or have speedy access to, this kind of information. They can also pinpoint specifically which departures the Dreamliner and A380 flights operate on - with some airlines, not all flights on the route will be with these aircraft. The flight specialists also have lots of information to hand on which airlines have the most up-to-date cabins, and offer best legroom and service.
World's best airline? Singapore Airlines, which regularly scoops industry awards, has just revamped its economy section
That said, on airlines' websites you can establish for yourself which types of aircraft are flying on your chosen date and route by clicking on the flight numbers during the booking process.
I also recommend looking at seatguru.com. The website has really useful seating plans for the different types of aircraft used by the airlines, and clearly identifies the best and worst seats within each cabin class.
For BA's A380s, for example, SeatGuru specifies a lonesome seat in economy with extra legroom, while for Thomson's Dreamliners it flags up two windowless seats positioned where you would imagine there to be windows.

This sixth edition of "Practical Clinical Psychiatry" is the best to date published by the authors. There are fourteen chapters starting with personality development and function followed by methods of psychiatric examination, the organic reaction types, toxic psychosis, the affective and schizophrenic reaction types, constitutional psychopathic inferior, paranoid reaction types and paranoia, traumatic reactions, psychoneurosis, psychosomatic medicine and pathologic drinking. The problems of childhood make up the last chapter. The authors are justified in stating that the basic idea of psychosomatic medicine is ancient.

I'm inputting my blog posts (transferring from another software) and protecting some posts. I've been checking as I've gone along and they were indeed protected.
All of a sudden they said they're protected, but they're not. Whether it's on the main page, or I click a category or date, the protected posts show up in full text.
What could I have done wrong and how do I fix this?
Thank you.
PS: I haven't added plugins whatsoever since I began inputting data and the only changes I've made this afternoon were in sidebar.php and I've written some pages.

Wow, spoiler alert!!! Might want to edit your post and add that at the top...even if they are just rumors.
I have a strong life philosophy to never judge anything until I know for myself. So I don't feel strongly either way at this point. Having said that, it does seem unnecessary and just an attempt to appeal to a specific demographic, like elves at Helms Deep. However, as ridiculous as it was to the theme, I enjoyed seeing an elven army team up with the likes of men. After all, it is a movie. So since I spent 10 years bracing myself for something like this...it is what it is. A book to film adaptation, and films require a romantic interest.
To me she seems like nothing more than a female Legolas, so I wouldn't say she's going to be all super powered out. I was able to get over Azog being alive, so we'll see.

this all comes down to the guy that owns that mansion on the point not letting them use his land to reinforce the sea wall thereby forcing them to come via sea.
the answer is simple, we burn down that guys house.

One way to slow things down would be to start "reporting" sightings of indigenous endangered wildlife in the area. I know this creates alot of angst locally in my area when someone's project is derailed because of a bog turtle or tree frog. Then the project must be revised to accomodate said animal, but only after intensive ecological study which can set the project back a year or so. I would not condone this in typical situations, but if it were to save a stand out EC break then thats a different story. Case in point, look at how piping plover has restricted access to areas of the outer banks. Their breaks are still in tact.

I contribute to the SurfRider foundation. They have a lot of administrative overhead, but I figure who else represents surfers' interests on a national level. This isn't going to be a popular sentiment, but I'm not sure I like the idea of money I've donated going to support an effort to help save a wave that has a terrible reputation for localism. I don't want a prime surf spot to be destroyed, but if Ruggles gets saved through a national effort, or even an East Coast centric effort, shouldn't the vibe change to be more welcoming? I ask this as someone who lives someplace that's considered a "surf destination".
Not that I'm headed East to surf anytime soon, too cold for me.

Hello, first of all thank you for this plug-in, it is really helpfull but I have some problems:
I am trying to create a portfolio website in two languages (portuguese and english) but the blog itself doesn't need translated posts because it fits both languages. So the polylang plug-in, for me, would be really usefull because of the menu and the pages.
That's what i did first and it worked just fine but then I had many issues. When I created a page for english and portuguese everything matched and the menu worked aswell BUT then i had the blog issue.
I want the website to start on a static page so I created a page http://www.mysite.com/blog for the blog and since the posts that I imported fit both languages I thought of linking it on the menu as a personalized link on the menus. So in the portuguese or english menu the link for the blog would be http://www.mysite.com/blog
Two problems:
- Obviously the blog would assume the default language i would choose (this case english)
- For some reason that I don't understand, I can't add personalized links to the portuguese menu. It works on the english, but not in the portuguese (maybe it's some issue with the theme but I don't believe so).
SO, I'm lost... The plug-in is great but for me it would work perfectly if I had started the website from scratch... the blog that I have is since 2008, too extensive and already titled and written to fit both languages so I won't change it... but I can't add a menu to it on the header :(
I need some advise. If there anyway around this, or I should have two wordpress installs and even if that's the proper solution for me, how could I make a two language menu on the blog? :(

Voice actor Melissa Disney is featured in a commercial that could make it all the way to the Super Bowl, but she needs your help.
Starring in "The Chase", Melissa and her cast mates are finalists in Doritos' contest to select their official Super Bowl XLIII commercial.
Vote now before January 25th, 2009 to help clinch 1st place and some major air time for one of voice over's leading ladies (and, one might say, Dorito lover), Melissa Disney.
Voice over talent and actress, Melissa Disney, also known for her work as the singing voice of Snow White and for her movie trailer voice over work for the film Gone in Sixty Seconds, is part of a team that has created an advertisement for Doritos, making into the TOP 5 in their Super Bowl competition.
To show your support, the voice over community is encouraged to view the commercial and vote for "The Chase".
Disney relates that you can vote once per day and be entered into a drawing to win tickets to Super Bowl XLIII.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
Voting ends on January 25th, 2009.
Remember... vote for the cat!

Of Money Mules and Cyber Criminals
A new article by Roel Schouwenberg, Senior Antivirus Researcher at the Kaspersky Lab, has drawn attention to the increased use of malware in cyber attacks on financial institutions.
The Russian researcher explains the methods used – from social engineering to phishing and Trojan Downloaders – which show that the trend seems to be away from universal attacks and towards malware aimed at specific banks in specific regions, the ideal target being a bank with a large customer base and lax security. "Many banks which use single-factor authentication are vulnerable to relatively simple attacks," writes Schouwenberg.
Although the number of malicious emails is declining, the preferred method of attack is via the Internet for a number of reasons. Whereas malware sent by email is easily detected, a malicious program sent via the web will infect the web server, which means it can be modified easily by the cyber criminals, making it almost impossible for antivirus researchers to analyze, "...so a drive-by download using exploits is obviously an attractive method" the researcher warns. Phishing attacks are still popular, with too many users not fully understanding how the scam works.
Accessing stolen funds is another aspect of cyber crimes examined by the researcher. This is where the money mule, often recruited via seemingly legitimate job offers, comes into play. The mule makes their bank account available for transactions and then, with services like Moneygram or E-Gold, transfers 85-90 percent of the money. Criminals will often use several mules simultaneously, keeping transactions small and thereby avoiding attention. The complete article can be read at: http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=204792037/

Today is devoted to my favorite character from the Harry Potter universe Sirius Black. I have been in awe of Sirius since i read The Prisoner of Azkaban. I did not read Harry Potter until after the 4th book was out so I was playing catch up a little. When I got to the Prisoner of Azkaban is when I become a total Harry Potter fangirl. In fact my hard copy of the Prisoner of Azkaban is so worn out the binding is coming apart.
So the real question is why do I love Sirius so much. First off I like the fact that he is an animagus. This was just really cool that he found a way to become an animagus so that he could help his friend. Second he is all that Harry has left for family and he plays that role very well while he can. Third you can tell he really does love harry and maybe it is because he feels guilty that he could not have done more to save his friend. I believe he does his share when he gets out of prison to help protect harry how James would have wanted him to. He is the one character that is not afraid to be bad but is inherently good and I love that.
As far as the films go I think Gary Oldman was the perfect choice to play this character and I really enjoyed his on screen performance. I wish Sirius had made it to the end of the series but all characters have their place and a role they must serve and he served his bravely.
Here is an interview with David Thewlis (remus lupin) and gary oldman (sirius black)
How do you feel about sirius black?

Woman denies hitting police chief with car
LYNDONVILLE A St. Johnsbury woman accused of hitting a police chief with her car during a torch run for Special Olympics Vermont has denied the charges.
Sixty-seven-year-old Sandra Raynor pleaded not guilty Wednesday to careless and negligent operation of a motor vehicle and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.
Police say that Raynor said she didnt want to wait when she saw the runners, a police cruiser and a fire truck coming down the street that she wanted to cross on June 6.
Lyndonville Police Chief Jack Harris, who was not in uniform and was one of the runners, said when he tried to stop her from driving through the procession, she drove off and brushed against him with her car.
She was arrested a short time later.MORE IN This Just In

"The city by the sea" Kotka by empbu
Kotka Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 46 photos

On 21 May 1878, Alexander II, Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke of Finland, made a declaration for the establishment of a town by the name of Kotka ("Eagle" in English).
Kotka is a city near Kouvola (the city I live in) and there are over 30 000 people living there. I like the city, one of the reasons is the sea nearby!
My best memories from Kotka must be from the every-year Kotka Maritime Festival . The festival lasts for a few days and there are lots of music performances and other shows in town. Many people come there just to walk around the city and sit at the bar terrace... enjoying their nice cool beer/cider! :)
I work in Kotka (actually in a city part called Karhula) at the moment and I hope to add more to this page as I get more familiar with the city.
- Pros:The Maritime Festival and the sea
- Cons:The wind from the sea feels very strong and cold at times
- In a nutshell:A lovely seaside town

I purchased four of these chairs for my dining room table. When you sit at the table with these chairs you are so low, you are at chest level with the table and your plate. When I compare them to other dining chairs, the legs are approximately 5 inches TOO SHORT. I can't believe World Market sold these as dining chairs!
These chairs look great, are comfortable and could not be any easier to assemble. I love them and highly recommend! My only disappointment is that they are a little low for my table which is 30 inches, but I would still order them again. Also- Color is very nice but slightly darker than it appears in the picture.
I purchased 2 Olive Lydia Dining Chairs as Accent chairs for my 6 seat dining table. They look gorgeous. The chairs arrived nicely packed and protected. I will not be able to comment on the comfort, as I will not move into our home until November 2014. I am anxious to actually see the chairs at the head and foot of our table, which is silver/gold tone.
Love the color and they're super comfy. Haven't spilt anything on them (yet), but the micro suede is great. They seem of pretty good quality too. The only negative is that the shipping charges are pretty steep.
They are soft and very sturdy which makes enjoying a meal at the table even more enjoyable. I also like that the height is perfect for my feet to touch the floor as I am 5'1", but also great for my husband who is 6". I paired this with the Bishop table. ( I have a picture of my set under my Bishop table review)
These chairs are beautiful and sturdy and quite comfy. I bought 2 pair during a special sale, and loved them so much, I had to go back for one more set. The color is lovely, and just what I was looking for in my dining room. Looking forward to my first brunch around the table.

I couldn't not believe what the hotel was like at covenant. They bought their own hotel so you could sleep in a fake hotel room that was so dirty. The room mate I had wore flip flops just to take a shower. Neither of us would walk on the carpet with our bare feet.
It had a smell like mildew, and the covers had stains all over them and so did the mattress. I had to have my wife bring me covers and sleeping bag just to lay on these beds.
I do believe that they try to be a christian company, but just like christians, they just try. Please if you have anything to say about that, go get your stones and be the first to throw them.
Now the trainning when I was on the road was horrible. The truck was ok, but I new something was wrong when the trainer wanted to pick me up from the side of the road because he said that the company will take his truck in the shop for six or seven days and leave him with out any mile or any lay over pay.
The trainer had nothing good to say about the company. Still till this day I can't figure out why he's there. He did let me do all the driving 15 to 18 hours at a time and he would never drive. Yes I know I'm in trainning but he was not giving me a chance to see how others drive. I ask the trainer to take me back to tennessee and let me out of the truck.
We got in utah and found 27 covenant trucks at one tuck stop and every one we talked to had been there for 1 to 4 days waiting on a load.
I found another company to work for and yes it's just a trucking company but it's not covenant and why in the world can't one company find a company thats got it all figure out like paying by qualcom instead of trip pak? Every company needs to find companies that have there stuff together and follow that pattern instead of trying something thats a failing procedure.

As far as driving those 15 hours--it is illegal to drive over 11 hours eithor straight or broken up. The 11/14 hour log rule should have been explained to you. Your trainer was wrong on that part. But they don't care and are very disorganized, and have major lack of communication, along with being rude to most people. I wish you luck and hope you get the proper training where you do start fresh. Also please have someone teach you the proper way to log as they are teaching everyone to flag pretrips for 7 minutes and not bracketing it. You cannot lift that lid of the truck, check everything, plus do a REAL pretrip in 7 minutes. DOT will definitely jump on anyone that they see doing that in a log book. It's more important in the morning after you have slept somewheres to pretrip as your tandem & 5th wheel pins need to be checked if anyone pulled them, your glad hands, fluids, etc before you drive, and this definitely takes more than 7 minutes. I wish you well where you start over.
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?

Abbot Pennings
Father Pennings, president of St. Norbert College for 57 years, began his life in America as a missionary. He moved to De Pere within five years, was blessed as the first American Norbertine in 1925, witnessed the growth of the College into a fully accredited American institution of higher learning, and in his declining years in a press conference stated, "The best thing 'we' ever did was to found St. Norbert College."
Confessions of Saint Augustine
St. Norbert College Archives is the home to the Klimon Collection of editions of the "Confessions" by St. Augustine. The collection includes more than 75 editions of the "Confessions" written in many different languages dating from the sixteenth century. St. Augustine was the fifth century bishop and doctor of the church whose rules St. Norbert adopted in 1121 after he founded the order.
Collection of Fr. Anselm Keefe
He was a priest, biologist, teacher, military chaplain and a dean. He provided almost 50 years of service to St. Norbert College, and was its dean from 1927-1941 and 1941-1946. In addition to his specimen collection in the college herbarium, Fr. Keefe collected rare botany books, which are housed in special collections. A collection of photographs archived digitally can be found on Recollection Wisconsin.
Collection of Gordon Parmentier
Francis Gordon Parmentier (1923 - 2008), composer and native of Green Bay, who attended St. Norbert College. Parmentier served in the military in France during World War II. After completing his military service, he attended the Sorbonne Conservatory of Music in Paris and received an advanced degree in music composition. His most famous work is the opera, The Lost Dauphin. His estate donated his papers to the Mulva Archives in 2003.
John Bennett (professor emeritus of English) is considered a great poet, teacher and writer. Bennett, a Melville Scholar, has published the two well-known books "Griefs and Exultations," first published by the St. Norbert College Press, and "The Struck Leviathan: Poems on Moby Dick."
Collection of Lloyd Alexander
In Aug. 2012, Robert Boyer (professor emeritus of English) donated his personal collection of Lloyd Alexander's published works. The collection also includes correspondence between Boyer and Alexander, including Christmas cards and letters. Lloyd Alexander had been a very successful author in young adult fantasy literature. His works include "Time Cat," "The Chronicles of Prydain," and "The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio".
Collection on Main Hall at St. Norbert College
This collection of materials on St. Norbert College's Main Hall built 1901-1903 includes the early planning for the building and original architectural plans. Major remodeling in 1956 and again in 1982-83, with a major renovation in 1988-90, including a rededication brochure and information of Sept. 1990. Main Hall was named to the National Register of Historic Places in Aug. 1990. Many photographs of Main Hall taken before the 1990 renovation are in this collection. Additional photos are in the photograph collection in room 224 of the archives.

Norbertine Missions Project
The Norbertine abbey of Grimbergen had a failed mission in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia in the first half of the 20th century. Here are collected documents relating to that mission until its end near World War II. This collection is the first undertaking of the Center for Norbertine Studies' current project to find and digitize all materials relating to Norbertine missionary activity from 1870 to the present and specifically until 1965.
Rare Book Collection
The archives houses an extensive collection of old and rare books, many relating to Norbertine history. In addition, the collection also contains a collection of rare botany books collected by Fr. Anselm Keefe.
Recollection Wisconsin
This collection provides digital access to cultural heritage resources that reside in institutions around the state. An ever-growing number of libraries, archives, museums and historical societies are providing digital photographs, manuscripts, books, articles, sound recordings, diaries, artwork and artifacts to the program. Currently, there are more than 55,000 such resources available through the portal.
The Next Step
In 2013, Karina O'Malley, former Professor of Sociology, donated her collection of documents, newsclippings and photographs from The Next Step, a homelessness project begun at St. Norbert College. This project became the impetus for the first homeless shelter in Green Bay/De Pere area.

Chances are you haven't heard of Word scraps, but you're probably familiar with the technique. A scrap is a small block of content that you highlight and drag to the Desktop, where Windows automatically saves it. Then, you can reuse the scrap as needed. Before dragging content to the Desktop, restore the current window, so you have easy access to the Desktop. Then, simply highlight and drag the content to the Desktop. From the Desktop, drag the scrap into another document or double-click it to open the content in a new Word document. You can also open the scraps in other applications.

What are Market Networks?
Think about the power of marketplaces. They can be analogue, a street marketplace in New Dehli or a new digital marketplace like Etsy. Then, combine them with the power of social networks, facebook, instagram, linkedin, useful tools for social interaction. The goal is to use the best elements of both networks and marketplaces, create workflow software to focus action around long-term projects and help people create long-term, monetizable relationships that take the friction out of transactions. It's creating a many-to-many transaction pattern for a large group of people. That's a Market Network. In the past, many other terms have been used, from crowdsourcing to co-creation to collaboration. And, today we see these market networks beginning to change the face of industries from advertising (V&S) to transportation (Uber) to hotels (AirBnB). No industry is immune from the dynamics of new players who create Market Networks.
John Winsor is a leading market network thinker, advisor and entrepreneur. He is known for his strategic marketing and product innovation work based on collaboration, co-creation, open innovation and crowdsourcing. Today, he spends his time helping leaders make the transition from closed to open systems. He is also the Chairman of Victors & Spoils, the world's first creative advertising agency built on crowdsourcing principles and, in 2011, a business named to Advertising Age's "Agency A-List 10 to Watch" list and Mashable's Top 5 Digital Agencies. In 2009 he sold majority ownership of Victors & Spoils to Havas becoming their global Chief Innovation Officer, working with David Jones to reinvent a global holding company through open principles.
Before founding Victors & Spoils, Winsor was Vice President and Executive Director of Strategy and Innovation at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, helping the company become the most awarded advertising agency in the world in 2008 and 2009. He brought his co-creation philosophy to the agency that formed the underpinning of the agency's strategy practice that fueled work such as, Dominos, "Transparency," Best Buy's "Twelpforce, "Microsoft's "I'm a PC" and Vail's "Epic Mix."
Prior to CPB, he founded the world's first company based on co-creation, Radar Communications, in 1998 – with Nike as its first client – and sold it to CP+B in 2007. At Radar, Winsor used co-creation, strategy and academic-based market intelligence tools to help some of the country's most progressive companies learn from key voices in their communities.
Winsor was a journalist before founding Radar, building a magazine publishing company devoted to sports that included mountain biking, in-line skating and extreme skiing. In 1990, he acquired the rights to publish a then-struggling magazine, Women's Sports & Fitness. Within three years, he turned that magazine around and launched several other highly profitable titles and events, including The Gravity Games. He sold the business to Conde Nast in 1998.
Winsor is a frequent industry speaker and respected author. He gave the speech "The Trials and Tribulations of Harnessing the Chaos of Abundance" at the Guardian UK summit in Cannes. He spoke, along with Mark-Hans Richer, CMO of Harley-Davidson, at the M50 Summit. He was recently featured in two Harvard Business School case studies on starting an "open" company and how an "open" company can effect the trajectory of a larger closed system in Havas.
His books include "Beyond the Brand: Why Engaging the Right Customers is Essential to Winning in Business," where he coined the term co-creation, "Spark: Be more Innovative through Co-Creation," "Baked In: Creating Products and Businesses That Market Themselves" (with Alex Bogusky) and "Flipped: How Bottom-Up Co-Creation is Replacing Top-Down Innovation." Baked In, a bestseller, was named an award winner in the marketing category for the 2009 800-CEO-Read Business Book Awards.
He was recently featured in the book "Pioneers of Digital" a showcase of success stories from leaders in advertising, marketing, search and social media, which credited him with turning his "…wealth of communication and digital experience…into a crowdsourcing (ad)venture."
Throughout his career Winsor has been deeply involved in the start-up and technology communities. He was a founding investor in Nau, the sustainable clothing company and has been on the board of directors of Black Diamond Equipment and Sovrn.
Outside of work he pursues his passions of climbing, skiing, cycling and surfing. Among his accomplishments, he set the world record for the ascent and round-trip of Kilimanjaro.
Winsor earned a bachelor's degree from Colorado College and an MBA from the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver.
John Winsor is a best-selling author and a leading strategic marketing and product innovation thinker known for his breakthrough work in collaboration, co-creation, market networks, crowdsourcing and open innovation.
Winsor is the founder of Victors & Spoils, the world's first creative advertising agency built on crowdsourcing principles. Winsor's practical experience building companies in industries that are being radically transformed by technology from a closed business model to a new, open business model helps his audiences be inspired to come up with their own breakthrough strategies. Organizations are enabled to flip their own marketing paradigms from Brand Out to Consumer In, taking advantage of the digitally connected world powered by social media. His books include: Beyond the Brand: Why Engaging the Right Customers Is Essential to Winning in Business; Spark: Be More Innovative Through Co-Creation; Baked In: Creating Products and Businesses That Market Themselves; Flipped: How Bottom-Up Co-Creation Is Replacing Top-Down Innovation.

This should be the game plan for Smith:
Do the usual the first qtr which is feed it to Gore possibly go deep once in awhile and see where his accuracy is. Bootleg and throw down feild try sustain drives and keep our d off the feild.
2nd qtr still no points...go into the spread to make AS fans happy...to show at least show that SING is trying to adjust to AS.
Still no points at the half. SIT THE F**K DOWN.
Don't care who plays QB at that point.
