Miley Cyrus Is the Subject of a College Sociology Class
Miley Cyrus is many things: singer, actress, twerker… and now she is the subject of a sociology class at the prestigious Skidmore College in upstate New York. Where can we sign up?
Miley Cyrus is many things: singer, actress, twerker… and now she is the subject of a sociology class at the prestigious Skidmore College in upstate New York. Where can we sign up?
Let's be real: The fact that Miley Cyrus celebrated the Bangerz Tour with an over-the-top, emoticon-emblazoned $5,000 multi-tiered cake in Miami is just another day in the life of the 'Wrecking Ball' singer. That being said, this is one ornate (and expensive!) piece of pastry. Let us break it down for you.
Is Miley Cyrus taking cues from Justin Bieber? The singer spit all over her beloved Smilers. But relax. She wasn't being rude or gross. It was part of her Bangerz stage show. For their part, the fans lurved it.
Miley Cyrus likes big butts and she cannot lie. The pop singer did her very best rendition of Sir Mix-a-Lot's classic 'Baby Got Back' while at a karaoke bar recently in New Orleans.
And we thought Miley Cyrus had fully distanced herself from her 'Hannah Montana' past. The singer and twerker posted two photos while hanging out with her former Disney co-star Mitchel Musso. Additionally, she dealt with a scare, as one of the buses in the tour caravan caught on fire and was burnt to a crisp.
Despite most of her headlines being about her cray cray antics, Miley Cyrus does have a big heart. The singer proved it by making a dream come true for a young, leukemia-stricken fan who made it onto her radar via a hashtag campaign. Oh, the power of social media!
It was almost an "Oh My!" moment in Omaha for Miley Cyrus. A fan, 18, snuck into the superstar's dressing room a day prior to her Bangerz Tour arriving in the Nebraska city.
Ouch! After Katy Perry went on an Aussie TV show to say that she pulled away from Miley Cyrus when the singer tried to slip her the tongue in their kiss-seen-round-the-world because "God knows where that tongue has been," Miley has retaliated, rather meanly, on Twitter.
Robin Thicke is not going down without a fight. He and Paula Patton may have "mutually" decided to separate after eight years of marriage (they had been together for more than 20), but the 'Blurred Lines' singer says that all he is trying to do is get his wife back.
She kissed a girl and she liked it! Katy Perry reportedly enjoyed the kiss that Miley Cyrus planted on her during the 'Wrecking Ball' singer's L.A. Bangerz Tour stop on Feb. 22.

Dr. Larry D. Sims is committing Insurance Fraud by billing for services he did not provide. I visited Dr. Sims twice for dental cleaning and each time I received a bill for services he had not done.
I spoke with him before about this matter and he openly admitted to overcharging the insurance companies. This man needs to be outed for defrauding his customers. Beware of this Dentist and his unlawful insurance practices.
I received a bill in the mail for over $400 after one dental cleaning. This type of fraud makes my insurance go up and I do not owe $400 on my bill. Please Do Not visit this dentist .. He is dishonest and commits fraudulent actions.

Never heard of any Dentist or Dr who actually admitted to a patient to insurance fraud so your report is very hard to believe. Guess I will get a second opinion from this Dentist.
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?

Johnny Bower is truly a man of great class and perhaps the most revered and recognizable Toronto Maple Leaf of all time. He carries himself with a high degree of humility and, to this day, his popularity spreads across many generations of Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
Over 12 seasons in Toronto, Bower registered a winning career record of 220-161-79 in 472 games played, a 2.51 goals against average, along with 33 shutouts. Bower captured four Stanley Cups (1962, 1963, 1964, 1967) with the Maple Leafs despite winning his final championship at the tender age of 42. Bower was 45 when he retired as a player in 1970, making him the oldest goalie to have played in the NHL and he played 1,207 games between the NHL and AHL—a goaltending mark only surpassed by Martin Brodeur. After retiring as a player, he joined the team's coaching staff as a goalie coach and, later, the front office as a scout until 1990.
Bower won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's Top Goaltender in 1961 and then shared the trophy with Maple Leafs teammate Terry Sawchuk in 1965. Bower was an NHL First Team All-Star in 1961.
When the Maple Leafs acquired Bower in 1958, he was approaching 34 years of age. Bower also had an illustrious 11-season American Hockey League career prior to playing in the NHL. During Bower's career in the AHL with Cleveland and Providence, he won four Calder Cup championships (1948, 1951, 1953, 1956), won the Les Cunningham Award as the League's Most Valuable Player three consecutive seasons (1956, 1957, 1958), and won the Harry Hap Holmes Award as the league's Top Goaltender on three occasions. He is the AHL's record-holder for most wins (359), and shutouts (45).
Bower was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976 and was one of the first seven members inducted to the AHL Hall of Fame in 2006. The Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame (in western Toronto), the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame, and Canada's Walk of Fame have all enshrined Johnny Bower. Bower joined the Canadian Army in 1940 and he served his country in England before his discharge in 1944. In the long history of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Bower is among a select few gentlemen to be saluted with a banner to honour his sweater number and also a statue along Legends Row outside of Air Canada Centre.

PATTAYA (AP) - For the second time in three years, a Thai couple has set a new record for the longest kiss, locking their lips for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds in a Valentine's Day "kissathon."
Mr and Mrs Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat from Bangkok emerged victorious on Thursday in what organisers said was the longest recorded smooch in history.
The milestone must still be verified by officials from Guinness World Records.
The pair, who also won the annual contest in 2011, received a 100,000 baht (S$4,142) cash prize and two diamond rings.
The event began on Tuesday with nine couples. The contestants were not allowed to sit, rest or sleep. They also had to go to the bathroom together with their lips locked.
Last year's record, set by two Thai men, was about 50 hours.

Can We Strive For 'Fierce' Intimacy?
As therapists, we all hit topics that are uncomfortable for our clients…with sex, intimacy and power ranking high on the list.
The truth is that most couples are not comfortable talking vulnerably and honestly about their secret longings, gnawing issues, yearnings and fears. It's often hard in therapy to access and hold that deep place of radical honesty and undefendedness.
"Intimacy is scary. Relationships can break us and they also have the power to remake us."
In the upcoming class, Esther Perel asks about your relationship "is it a place where you go to heal wounds or is it a place where wounds go to take refuge?"
Daring to confront, daring to be open as therapists, we invite our couples to do the same with one another.
It is here where we see how one person exerts control over the other.
It is here where we see people's sense of worthiness and lovability…or not.
It is here where we see how open a person is to giving and receiving and whether or not these are balanced in their relationship.
As the hidden steps into daylight, resentments can be let go of. Dormant aspects of the relationship are revived, and orphaned parts of ourselves are reclaimed.
Very shortly Esther and I will be offering a course titled: The Power of Intimacy a spirited dialogue about Sex, Power and Love.
We will be moving through these three core issues giving you practical case studies, nuts and bolts clinical technique, and a format for challenging your own assumptions as we invite our clients to challenge theirs.
Stay tuned, until then…

To a Skylark
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
To a Skylark Resources
Here's a really cool website full of info about the author and his life. It has copies of letters he wrote, pictures of him, even an image of his baby rattle! Definitely worth a look.
Everything you ever wanted to know about glow-worms but were scared to ask! This is actually a really cool page about the critter that makes a cameo in this poem in lines 46-50.
If you mean that poem, it sure is! But not in the way you're thinking. Check out this helpful overview of the Romantic movement in literature, in which Shelley was a key player.
Once you've read all about Shelley's skylark, take a look at this short video of the real thing. It's actually a lot cuter than you might expect.
Check out this short, but intense documentary.
Okay, you caught us, this doesn't have anything to do with Shelley's poem—it just has the same title. Still, it's a great video of a classy lady, so we think you oughta check it out!
We're not really sure why she read this poem, actually. But she's awesome, and this poem is awesome. So, naturally this recording is awesome.
Since it's such an important part of the poem, it's fun to listen to the complex and beautiful song of the skylark. Here's a long recording with some good pictures tossed in as a bonus.
This is one of just a few portraits of Shelley. It was painted just before he died by an art student named Amelia Curran.
A beautiful (and maybe slightly creepy) sculpture at University College Oxford, dedicated to the memory of PBS (the poet, not the Public Broadcasting System).

I have posted a complaint or two about abc Distributing. I received a catalog the other day from "The Lakeside Collection". Something about the prices, pictures, and fonts reminded me of abc.
So I did some checking on the bbb, and it turns out they are both run by the same people. The Lakeside website does not indicate the same address/numbers, but checking on bbb it shows the same address and principle contact as abc (thought the telephone numbers are different). So...anyone who is NOT interested in ordering from abc again, please do not order from The Lakeside Collection, either!
I did a search on this website and found only two complaints, so I thought it would be nice if I could have this post under BOTH abc Distributing AND The Lakeside Collection.

Prowler, Thieves Guild
|Reached Prowler rank in the Thieves Guild
The promotion to Prowler requires you to perform a single assignment, Ahdarji's Heirloom, for S'krivva in Bravil. Before she will give you the assignment though, you must fence two hundred gold worth of stolen goods. S'krivva will ask you to steal back a ring that was stolen by an independent thief. You must find the ring's owner, Ahdarji, in Leyawiin – you can find her at her house, Five Claws Lodge at lunch, or at the Three Sisters' Inn in the evening. Find her and she will tell you that an Argonian named Amusei stole it from her.
Talk to the beggers in Leyawiin and they will tell you that Amusei is in the Leywiin Castle prison. Go to the Castle Dungeon and either bribe the jailor to let you visit Amusei or pickpocket the key off of him. Talk to Amusei and, if you give him a lockpick as a bribe, he will tell you that the ring originally belonged to the Countess of Leyawiin and she has now recovered it. Return and talk to Ahdarji and she will offer to pay you double to steal the ring.
Enter the Castle, go straight through to the Throne Room, and wait until 1:00 Am. Then, enter the Basement all the way to the right of the thrones and find the open-topped barrel against the south wall. The lever inside will open a secret passage through the torture chambers and into the Countess' bedroom. Pick the lock on the door at the end, turn right, and pick the lock on the door at the end of this hall. Another lever will open the exit. Go up the stairs to the left and through the door. Avoid the guard, turn left, and break into the Countess' Room. The jewelry box is on the table to the right of the bed. Break into it, steal the ring, escape the same way you entered, and sell the ring to Ahdarji. Return to S'krivva and receive your promotion. The achievement will unlock when the conversation with S'krivva is over.

Dynamic Denver is more than a Mile High City
Commonly known as the "Mile High City," Denver marks the geographical transition from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains. Cultivating hustle and bustle through its airportone of the largest in the worldplus a great number of artistic and cultural features including Denver Art Museum and the Clyfford Still Museum, Denver is a hive of commercial and leisure activity. With farmland to the east and a seemingly limitless number of ski resorts to the west, this is a destination that perfectly combines natural and manmade attractions, giving it appeal for the spirited adventurer, the art lover, the city-hopper and everything in between.
Yearly events
Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series
Every year in June, the blooming Denver Botanic Gardens hosts a series of summer concerts at York Street and Chatfield. Families, couples and businesspeople can take a break on the lawn to enjoy a selection of music from local artists after exploring the garden during the daytime.
Elephant Rock Cycling Festival
Also during the month of June, athletic types from all over come for this popular cycling event. A Colorado tradition that has been going on for more than 20 years, this premier cycling festival is open to participants of all ages. Cycling trails for different ability levels have been created, but the original course is the pilgrimage to Castle Rock.
Denver Film Festival
Held in November, the international film festival in Denver has been celebrated for more than 35 years. Usually lasting for about 11 days, there are plenty of opportunities to watch award-winning films, or explore other forms of entertainment available at the festival. The Denver Film Festival has become large enough to support more than 200 screenings, so you may wind up rubbing shoulders with Hollywood greats during a winter visit.
Best time to stay in Denver
The most popular time of year for visiting Denver is June through August. Travelers on a budget may wish to come between autumn and spring, when accommodations are cheaper and temperatures are comfortable at around 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Skiers will love the winter months, when the neighboring slopes turn white and the cable cars crank into gear. During these cold days temperatures can drop as low as 16 degrees.
Summer time brings long days of festivals and fairs. Visitors can spend time hiking the nearby mountains before bar-hopping down 16th Street in the evenings. Daytime temperatures average at around 88 degrees, making for some very warm sunlit adventures.
Where to stay
16th Street
For buzzing city center life, Denver hotels near 16th Street are an ideal place to stay. This street is at the heart of downtown, surrounded by culture, shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Artistic appreciation can be found at features like the Denver Soundwalk designed by Jim Green, which plays whimsical sounds throughout the day, activating whenever people walk by what appears to be ordinary grates in the sidewalk. The 16th Street Theater, which features everything from live music to theatrical performances, is within walking distance of 14th, 15th and 16th Street accommodations like the Hyatt Regency at Colorado Convention Center and the aptly named Hotel Teatro, where theatrical memorabilia like costumes and pictures are showcased.
For a more historic adventure in Denver, consider staying in LODO. LODO, which stands for Lower Downtown, is more frequently populated by locals than travelers, providing a more authentic experience. Visitors can find guided walking tours available, for taking in an architectural history of Denver that includes The Oxford Hotelthe first hotel in the city dating back to the late 19th centuryand The Cruise Room. Recently renovated, LODO has become a beacon of culture and entertainment in the Mile High City.

Geez…I there anyone in America the current crop of Republican candidates hasn't pissed off…Except the Joe Six-Pack brain dead old white guys?
After sequentially pissing off black folks, Hispanic folks…The Reprobates try for a triple play with Asians!
Jeb Bush proved for the millionth time Monday that he's the worst candidate promoted as a presidential "frontrunner" since Ted Kennedy in 1980. Bush's latest gaffe, you probably heard, involved his claim that he's not scapegoating Latinos with his complaints about "anchor babies," because the real "anchor baby" scammers – people who aren't Americans but have children here so they become citizens — are "Asian people," not Latinos.
Bush brushed off a suggestion that he's alienating Latinos with his "anchor baby" rhetoric by pointing to "my background, my life, I'm immersed in the immigrant experience." Then he stepped in it: "Frankly it's more related to Asian people coming into the country…taking advantage of birthright citizenship."
Suddenly it seems the GOP field has a new political scapegoat: Asians! There aren't as many of them as there are Latinos, though they're the fastest growing "minority" group in the country. The same day Bush slurred Asians on the illegal immigration issue, Gov. Scott Walker demanded President Obama cancel his meetings with Chinese president Xi Jinping, because…toughness? He didn't really say.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's China-bashing has long rivaled his Mexican-bashing when it comes to identifying a top foreign scapegoat for our problems. As the stock market plunged again Monday, Trump had an excuse to lay it on thicker.
"I've been telling everybody for a long time," he said in a video. "China's taking our jobs; they're taking our money. Be careful — they'll bring us down. You have to known what you're doing — we have nobody that has a clue."
And from the back of the pack Gov. Chris Christie yelled, "Me, too!" claiming that the federal debt "has been given to us in large measure by the Chinese" and "as the Chinese markets have a correction" the U.S. will suffer.
There's a weird pause when Bush blasts Asian immigrant parents. You could hear him hesitate mid-sentence, as if he knew he was stepping in it again – and then he carried on with his thought because, why not? He's in free fall already. Also: these are Republicans we're talking about; they don't know discretion or restraint when it comes to sharing their racial theories. It's like he's sitting with the fellas at his private club, talking about "those people."
But bashing Asians, while it might help with the party's white base, hurts the GOP long term, as Asians are probably the best prospects for conversion if Republicans ever decide they need to make a play for non-white voters. They used to be a fairly reliable if small component of the Republican electorate.
Do you really believe that, if you are a Minority you could get a fair trial out of a Rethugly judge?
Sort of like this one…
U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, the federal judge in Montana who sent an email last year suggesting that President Barack Obama's mother had sex with a dog, has retired following an investigation into his conduct.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit announced Tuesday that Cebull had submitted his retirement letter, effective May 3. A special committee had conducted a "thorough and extensive investigation" and submitted their report to the circuit's Judicial Council, which issued a confidential order and memorandum on March 15, according to the court.
In the email forwarded by Cebull, a young Obama asks his mother why he's black and she is white. "Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!" his mother replies. Cebull told recipients of his email that he hoped it "touches your heart like it did mine."
Cebull, nominated by President George W. Bush, stepped down as chief U.S. district judge in October and took a reduced caseload. He apologized for sending the letter back in the spring.
This is pretty emblematic of what the Bushit filled the courts with.
President Obama's first failure was not putting all the Bushit SOBs in jail for their crimes.
At last – a clear answer to "Who made this mess."
It was Bush, and the Bush Tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans trashed America's economy, and conservative policies have been a disaster since Raygun.
With President Obama and Republican leaders calling for cutting the budget by trillions over the next 10 years, it is worth asking how we got here — from healthy surpluses at the end of the Clinton era, and the promise of future surpluses, to nine straight years of deficits, including the $1.3 trillion shortfall in 2010. The answer is largely the Bush-era tax cuts, war spending in Iraq and Afghanistan, and recessions.
Despite what antigovernment conservatives say, non-defense discretionary spending on areas like foreign aid, education and food safety was not a driving factor in creating the deficits. In fact, such spending, accounting for only 15 percent of the budget, has been basically flat as a share of the economy for decades. Cutting it simply will not fill the deficit hole….
First, the Bush tax cuts have had a huge damaging effect. If all of them expired as scheduled at the end of 2012, future deficits would be cut by about half, to sustainable levels. Second, a healthy budget requires a healthy economy; recessions wreak havoc by reducing tax revenue. Government has to spur demand and create jobs in a deep downturn, even though doing so worsens the deficit in the short run. Third, spending cuts alone will not close the gap. The chronic revenue shortfalls from serial tax cuts are simply too deep to fill with spending cuts alone. Taxes have to go up.
This one is kinda fun. Very few non-techies really understand what the Internet is – and how it actually works.
President Obama in his "Twitter Town Hall" yesterday said this –
To which right wingers, searching for ANYTHING with which to criticize President Obama came up with this screed:
When President Bush made the same mistake during his campaign for President in 2000, he was roundly criticized as unintelligent.
"We do have to make sure that there are computers in a computer age inside classrooms and that they work and that there's internets that are actually — there are Internet connections that actually function. And I think that those states that are going to do well and those countries that do well are the ones that are going to continue to be committed to making education a priority."
The problem?
What Bush actually said was this –
"I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft."
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004 (Watch video clip; listen to audio clip)
It is becoming ever more painfully obvious that the Republican Tax Giveaway to the Rich is a major element in the country's finances being in freefall. The Chamber of Commerce has increasingly become noting but a propaganda arm of the Republican Party, much like Faux News.
Michael Teahan, like his father, mother, and uncles before him, is a small business owner. The 52-year-old has spent most of his adult life running his own businesses: a restaurant, a coffee bar and various companies involved in the espresso machine business.
"I was the only person in my family to go to college, because that's not what we did — we all opened up businesses," Teahan says. "For some people, that's a big hurdle … for us, it was like having lunch."
Teahan currently operates Espresso Resource, a company that imports espresso machine parts from Europe to sell to U.S. restaurants and coffee shops. And he's doing very well for himself: The two-man operation clears about $1 million a year in total sales, Teahan says — enough to secure himself annual income in excess of $250,000.
That makes Teahan one of the few small business owners to actually benefit from the Bush administration's tax cuts for the wealthy. He says the cuts save him about $12,000 a year, compared to what he paid before they were enacted. But as debates over the federal budget deficit have intensified, Teahan has found the political discussion increasingly divorced from the reality of his experience as a small business owner.
Tax cuts for the wealthy, according to Teahan, will do nothing to bolster his firm. They won't affect his hiring decisions, they won't encourage him to buy new equipment or help him move into a bigger warehouse. He says all of those decisions — the nuts and bolts of actually running a small company — depend on the his customers' economic conditions, not his personal tax rate.
"What we do in business, how we spend our money, how we allocate our resources — that has very little to do with tax policy," Teahan says. "I map my business based on my customers, and what my customers want to buy, and what they can afford to buy." Read the rest of this entry »

Skip to comments.Judge: Americans have no right to choose food
Posted on 10/06/2011 5:05:22 AM PDT by tutstar
click here to read article
You mean I sang a "hippy lust" song at karaoke last night? LOL
Has anyone told Billy Joel about this?
Is that for real, or is it the punchline to some joke about married sex?
The NWO folks strike again.
What hideousness!
Along with being stupidly suicidally WRONG as a nation and culture. What traitorous leaders they've shoehorned in on us.
Its a natural extension of Kelo
Libs would call C.S. Lewis a racist.
Civil disobediance time!
These farmers should take all the milk they can get their hands on and dump it on the courthouse steps daily while chanting for impeachment of this so called judge. Don't stop until he is forced out.
If I understand things correctly, this is a state law and the state police power that is being discussed. I´m unfamiliar with the relevant state constitution, but it´s entirely possible that the judge is correct.
That doesn´t mean that the law is not ridiculous and paternalistic of course.
Actually the court DID say that the rights of the plaintiffs to own their cow, enter into a contract to board a cow, etc., all of which the plaintiffs claimed to be "fundamental" rights — the term "fundamental" being a key term — are not in fact fundamental rights.
Therefore, in determining the constitutionality of the laws of Wisconsin regulating milk production that the plaintiffs are challenging, the courts will apply a "minimal scrutiny" standard of review.
You could make very similar arguments the plaintiffs are making here about running a marijuana farm or coca field — or even a meth lab — that they have a fundamental right to "grow their own".
This decision, at least up to the point where the Judge ruled on the question of fundamental rights, which is where I stopped, is NOT activist at all. It is pretty much "turn the crank" legal reasoning.
Wow. Just wow.
If it's not forbidden, it's required...
Good word.
The best word to describe the actions of leftists is
This is how the Ukrainian "famine" started.
I have no doubt they'd love to repeat that here.
Bill Ayers even said that 10% of the population would have to be eliminated because they wouldn't accept the communist society. He's kind of a piker, Stalin was willing to go with 25% of the world's population being purged in order that the remainder lived under the communist utopia.
Very TRUE.And The Declaration of Independence ,like the Mayflower Compact, and the Articles of Confederation , and the Northwest Ordinance are listed as Organic Law/ Fundamental Law unless I am mistaken. And it seems Jefferson -for whatever reason changed the fundamental Rights of Life, Liberty , and Property to read Life ,Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Which has been sadly abused by the Pagans.
I am making this particular judge a personal hobby of mine. I will really expend a lot of effort to see him removed from office.
I am still looking for the sermon Jefferson borrowed that
Tree of Liberty ...and blood of Patriots and Tyrants from.
I read it once some years ago -and am looking for it again.
He's up in 2017. Let us not forget.
Please share it when you locate it, okay?
Thank you, in advance.
This precaution saves me a lot of embarrassment. I have to work a little harder to sound stupid.
"down by the Green River ,where Paradise lay.— I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in askin- Ol'Peabodys' Coal train done hauled it away."
The Judge is correct to the point that those who live in the United States have no rights. They have given them to the Government under the guise of being made to feel "secure", "safety nets", and convience. "Americans" have not given up any of their God given rights, but as the election of 2008 proved, there are more parasites than Americans.
The parasites are about to reap the fruit from the seeds they so gleefully sowed November 4, 2008. Unfortunately, the rest or us will also.
Thanks for the ping!
actually took this seriously until I saw it was from WND.
Probably a moderately worthy task.
Along with hundreds of other such judges.
as with abortionists and clinics . . .
I'm 100% convinced that the MOST POWERFUL such efforts are
group prayer and fasting . . . NOT necessarily in the same room at the same time . . . but a cluster of individuals PREFERABLY ACROSS DENOMINATIONAL LINES—earnestly praying and fasting for a righteous cause.
Ah, Nothing better than farm fresh milk!
I've been looking for this picture for thirty five years! Finally found it!
yep that's right
great quote!
That, my FRiend, is what the majority of those that voted on November 4, 2008, voted for. They demanded, via their votes, that the Government take possession and control over them. That is now happening.
"I will really expend a lot of effort to see him removed from office. "
Why? Because he says the facts are in dispute, so it must go to trial? Do you prefer judges to make rulings without listening to the facts, or to both sides of the case?
"Yes, this had better get overturned on appeal..."
Ummm...you cannot appeal something that hasn't gone to trial. All this ruling says is that the case needs to go to trial so the relevant facts can be presented in a court of law.
Before I get trashed here, lets take an honest look at this...I understand the sentiments, and agree that this is extremely over the edge by a justice...
A part of me agrees with the judge that this is a "fundamental" issue, and they may be right according to the law of that state...
We (including me) are absolutely right that this is more than a "fundamantal" right to consume food product YOU produce or "farm"...
This IS an absolutely "UNALIENABLE" right that is covered by an authority higher than anything instituted amoungst men...Very similar to your UNALIENABLE right to keep and bear arms as YOU see fit...And should not be infringed upon...
Bottom line...If you are not engaged in a criminal act that is considered to be a "man-act" (i.e.: murder, rape, kidnapping, etc etc etc) in my opinion, it should not be restricted, or regulated to an individual or the population in general, to conduct yourself in a lawful manner in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness as written down on some document I heard about when I was younger...
Someone may want to remind me what that document was...And then we need to send a copy to the idiot judge who made this ruling...
Somehow I just have to wonder how we ever got by without grocery stores, super-markets, Costco, Sam's Warehouses, and WalMarts, before the government and our judicial system started inserting itself into our daily lives, our homes and our businesses...
I know the answer to that is simple...We got by with courage, preparedness and a tenacity to protect our lives, property and out happiness...
Something that is seriously lacking in a great majority of our countrymen and its elected officials these days...And there is not enough of us now to want to recoop or regain those freedoms...THAT WE WERE SO SUCCESSFUL IN LIVING IN A FREE'r EXISTANCE...
But what do I know, eh???
HA! I think you're right!
Thank you for the link. I'll have to hold reading it until this evening, but I do appreciate the info.
"This is a hill I would be willing to die/kill on."
Amen. This is a perfect example of Fascism — although it is (so far...) your property, they control what you do with it.
And he's a coward, to boot. He's not going to defend his onerous decision. He's going to run and hide with a pack of liberals.
I L-O-V-E love that picture of the skunk! Thanks!
You're exceedingly welcome.
We have an abundance of the stinkers around here. And our blue healer 1-2 year old pup still thinks jousting with them is great sport. Slow learner in the smell dept evidently.
They love the grapes.
Don't be too hard on yourself, that line of reasoning is so brilliant that I have a hard time understanding it myself. Maybe we need to go back to school and study modern logic. Let's see now, if I am overweight I need to eat more ice cream and pound cake, does that sound about right?
"... if I am overweight I need to eat more ice cream and pound cake".
Your making sense to me. I guess an alcoholic really needs to drink more booze, too. I have a friend who's lactose intolerant. I think I'll send over a gallon of milk to her! LOL!
"This is a perfect example of Fascism although it is (so far...) your property, they control what you do with it."
It is a business that cannot get its license renewed because of activity that MAY be against state law.
Ever hear of zoning? Try building anything you want on your property, or conduct business in an area zoned for no commercial use.
Frankly, when I buy food, I like the idea that it has to meet some health standards. I have no desire to take my life in my hand every time I buy food in the supermarket.
Meanwhile, you need to realize that A) this case has NOT gone to court yet. This ruling merely says that there is enough of a dispute to justify a hearing. And B) the state is arguing that the 'owners' are not owners at all, and that the operation is a commercial dairy farm whose real owners are engaged in a "sham arrangement".
When the case goes to court, one of the critical factors in the judgement will be if the 'owners' are really owners, or if this is fraud. Owners ARE allowed to drink milk right from the cow. DAIRY FARMS cannot sell it. What is really going on is a critical part of the case that WILL be heard WHEN it goes to court.
I think this judge needs fatty chesseburgers and raw milk stuffed down his throat.
Nanny State PING!
Thank you for finding that. I'm always suspicious of paraphrases these days.
Stung up from a lamppost, more like it..
It should be some dish based on offal - like menudo or haggis.
In other words, judges can't just make up rights that aren't enumerated in the Constitution and use that to override laws made through normal means.

After yet another Hottest Year Since Records Began, the symptoms of our planetary fever are so great even George Bush is reaching a tipping point. As the Greenland ice shelf thaws ever-closer to total collapse, there are whispers from Washington that the forthcoming State of the Union address will include an admission by the President that global warming is caused by man.
But while Bush's denial is finally melting - albeit six years too late and with far too little action to come - there are subtler forms of denial persisting even here, among environmentally aware Europeans. As we run from this disaster, many of us are clambering on to lifeboats full of holes. Let's look at two of the most popular: the carbon offsetting scam, and the EU's flailing carbon trading scheme.
For most of us, the biggest contribution we make to destabilising the planet's climate is through flying. If one person flies one way, one time to Miami, you emit more greenhouse gases than the average SUV driver in a year. You could cycle, recycle and use energy-saving light bulbs for the rest of your life, and it's all cancelled out by a single weekend break by the beach.
So it is deliriously tempting to believe in the slew of websites that promise to wipe your conscience clean after every flight. You emitted four tonnes of greenhouse gases flying to Rio? Fine, we'll plant enough trees to absorb four tonnes back - just click here.
But a report this week by the US green group Clean Air-Cool Planet is an icy reminder that it just ain't so. They found that the £15bn-a-year carbon-offsetting market is "like the Wild West - full of cowboys". In an unregulated market, there is no guarantee that the cash you give will plant anything, anywhere.
But the picture is even worse than this report suggests. It's not only the practice of carbon sinks that is in error. It's the whole concept. In order to compensate for Britain's annual carbon emissions, we would have to cover the whole of France, Germany, Spain and Italy in trees - and make sure they literally never decay or die.
As an analysis in the New Internationalist magazine showed recently, to understand this you have to draw a distinction between the two different pools of carbon on our planet. There's the "active carbon pool" - the carbon dioxide that is always circulating between forests, the atmosphere and the oceans, in a complex natural rhythm. Then there's the "fossil carbon pool", which is locked away in coal, oil and gas deposits built up over millennia. When we dig up the fossil pool and burn it - to power planes, trains and automobiles - its gases join the active carbon pool, sending it out of balance.
It's pretty much a one-way process: once carbon comes out of the ground, it stays out of the ground for a very long time. And as the biologist Tim Flannery puts it: "There is so much carbon buried in the world's coal seams [alone] that, should it find its way back to the surface, it would make the planet hostile to life as we know it."
Paying to put some trees in the middle doesn't make much difference. Trees can store only some carbon - we don't even know how much, with estimates varying by 1,000 per cent - and for a limited period of time. Sooner or later, they die. Oliver Rackman, the Cambridge University botanist, explains it starkly: "Telling people to plant trees [to prevent global warming] is like telling them to drink more water to keep down rising sea levels." The water - or gas - will come out in the end.
But the other life raft many of us are swimming towards - the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) - is sinking just as fast. In principle, "cap and trade" is a simple, sound idea. Every relevant corporation is given by the Government a maximum amount of carbon they are allowed to belch into the atmosphere each year. If they improve their efficiency and emit less than their quota, they can sell their surplus carbon emissions to another company. The benefit? It provides polluters with a profit motive to become greener.
Yet when the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons studied the new system designed to achieve this, it described it as "bullshit" and "an outrageous waste of public money". What went wrong?
There are two big flaws. Every European government grossly overestimated their initial carbon emissions, so any cut in the greenhouse gas pumped out seemed more impressive - and brought in more cash. This led to the farcical situation where they found the scheme appeared to have paid £96m to BP and three other corporations "for keeping emissions down to levels they had already achieved before they joined".
And it gets worse. The emissions of each corporation are supposed to be measured by an agency called the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control System. But as Carbon Trade Watch puts it, "the whole system increasingly relies upon the goodwill of corporations to report their emissions honestly".
More than 40 per cent of sites don't have any adequate monitoring procedures, and government inspections have halved since Labour came to power. It's as though teachers wrote their own Ofsted reports, and received more cash if they rated themselves excellent.
In our panicked response to the disaster of global warming, it turns out we have been furiously swallowing placebos. I wish these painless solutions worked. I wish global warming could be wished away with a click and an accounting trick. Too often, environmentalists can sound as if we think people deserve global warming as a punishment for their "greed" or their "rape of the planet". I don't. When I hear the deniers speak, I would give anything to live in their reality. I love the world that is passing. I love cheap flights. I love the fact working-class people can holiday in exotic places for the first time. I love weekends in Prague. But I love having an inhabitable planet more, and I can't deny the science.
We are going to have to move beyond these delusion-solutions, and the Tory MP Tim Yeo is right (and was swiftly slapped down by fake-green David Cameron for it): for starters, we have to ban short-haul flights. It is obscene that the most popular destination from Heathrow is Manchester, when it can be reached by train, which is 10 times less polluting. Yes, I know it costs far less to fly. That's why the Government needs to end the £9bn tax break it gives the aviation industry by refusing to tax their fuel, and use the cash to bring train fares crashing down. And for long-haul flights? There is no easy solution, except that we will all have to fly much less.
Until we start facing these sad, nasty facts, we are barely one step ahead of George Bush as he prepares to step out of his long, long denial.Reuse content

I dealt with a person by the name of Tim Hart. I live in a small town and due to a physical address problem my refinance took nearly 6 months. I finally closed in June and decided to escrow my property taxed and insurance.
At the closing Tim Hart and a person from the Title Company (Chapin Title Co. in Sherman Texas) were present. I ask Mr. Hart and Chapin Title if my taxes and insurance were taken care of for the first year. Both assured me that everything was taken care of.
Four months after my close I received a cancellation notice on my homeowners insurance. I contacted my insurance to find out that my policy was never paid. I contacted Tim Hart at Texas Lending on Oct. 6th to informed him of the problem and that my insurance was going to be cancelled on Oct. 9th and I needed to find out what was going on.
I finally received a phone call on Oct. 11th only to be told that there was a mistake and the money was given to me by mistake in my cashout amount and that I would have to pay my insurance for a year on my own along with the extra into my escrow account. Beware of this company! I would not recommand this company to anyone!

How can we help
AUTHOR: Kevin - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 25, 2006POSTED: Friday, August 25, 2006
Texaslending.com is in the service business to facilitate the transfer of money from financial institutions, whether it be from our bankroll or from another financial institution, to the consumer, for use by the consumer to purchase, refinance, or obtain equity from their home.
As Diane states, she shopped for months to find the best mortgage. We did provide the best mortgage so Diane chose Texaslending.com.
She did touch on the fact that there was a physical address problem. Her Driver's License, City Water Department Bill, County Tax Assessor, and local Post Office each had assigned her house a different street number it was the municipal 911 administrator's address that was settled on all others were changed coincide with that one.
The other issue that had to be worked through was that she owned several adjoining lots that had been previously combined on one loan. Viewing her several County Tax Certs it was discovered that there was an Agricultural Property Tax Exemption on an unclearly defined portion of her land. We had received an underwriting Clear to Close 30-45 days earlier but the title company balked at the Ag Exemption issue. The lender throughout the process didn't require a survey but to satisfy the title company a survey was ordered and performed to coincide with the existing Homestead non-exempt Tax Cert.
Now, with a survey and the several months that passed since her original inquiry due to the physical address issue Diane also passed a date limitation from a previous public record issue and her loan application became eligible for a Fannie Mae Texas Cash Out program with a lower rate than that for which she originally applied.
Diane wanted an escrow account for the annual payment of property taxes and homeowner's insurance. To set up an escrow account mid-year we have to know the expected amount owed and when it will be distributed. We had the tax cert for the property and her homeowner's insurance Declaration Page. If her homeowner's insurance was cancelled due to non-payment because the funds were directed to Diane instead of paying a premium the only thing I can think of is that is was assumed that the Policy Expiration Date was also the paid thru date because I don't recall her specifying that she was on a payment plan for that current year's policy.
As Diane states, her loan closed and she received cash at closing. Her rate and costs were inline with those disclosed to her prior to closing. Texas state law for home equity loans requires the closing statement, with exact fees and terms, be disclosed to the consumer at least one day prior to closing. The consumer signs off on the closing statement to acknowledge all is correct.
In this case the title company, as escrow agent, was located in the rural area near to Diane's home. They were to pay out all fees as directed on the closing statement. Title companies charge an "escrow fee" for this service. Texaslending.com has no relation to the title company.
Months later Diane called Texaslending.com requesting us to pay her insurance for her because apparently the funds had been sent by the title company to her rather than to the insurance company. Our reasoning for this
It is our wish that Diane's insurance company reinstate her insurance on the terms agreed to by Diane and the insurance company. Diane should still have an escrow account intact for the payment of insurance for future insurance needs as this is collected by the lender with each mortgage payment.
It is our position that Texaslending.com performed the service for Diane to the best of our abilities and provided all services to Diane as agreed. All fees charged to Diane were disclosed, all laws were followed, and any moneys regarding her insurance were apparently paid to her for her disposal. Texaslending.com has closed over 10,000 home loans since our inception in August 2001. We desire for all consumers to be treated fairly and receive concise and accurate service under the most competitive terms possible.

Virtual desktop software is the latest spin on server-based PC computing
Most virtual desktop PC platforms require a network to deliver virtual PC functionality from a server to a users desktop PC or terminal. But can virtual desktop PCs work when there is no network connection?Rob Baker, director of strategic enterprise initiatives at solutions provider Smartronix, said his firm is testing just such a system for two federal customers, including one at the Defense Department.Smartronix is using a virtual desktop product from Kidaro called Kidaro ToGo. It stores the virtual desktop software along with applications and data on a USB flash drive that users carry with them. Users can plug the USB drive into any available laptop or PC, boot the virtual desktop and launch their agency-approved applications as if they were usinga traditional network-attached PC.Organizations [that are testing this] can get a very quick return on investment by avoiding purchasing laptops, Baker said. And the interface and performance are almost as they would be if they were using a laptop.- Larry Stevens
When configuring server-based virtual desktops, managers must decide whether to host multiple users on a single server or use a dedicated server or hardware, such as a blade PC, for each user.One consideration is cost vs. performance. Placing multiple users on a single physical server is less expensive, but technical staff members must continuously calculate capacity to ensure that performance doesnt degrade.On the other hand, it can be expensive to dedicate separate hardware to each user. That option can also increase the data centers size and power consumption.Tom Simmons, area vice president at Citrix Systems Federal, said as far as he knows, the only types of federal organizations that are considering dedicating a server to each user are in the intelligence community. Separating users on servers is costly, but it does provide a high level of security, Simmons said. Larry Stevens
What we have now [in virtual desktop technology] is a 1980s BMW. Its a great car, but not nearly as good as a 2007 model. The industry should reach that goal within one to three years. Michael Rose, IDC
