Who is Maitreya?
"Maitreya Buddha is the embodiment of loving-kindness. Throughout the entire universe, peace comes from the good heart, from loving-kindness.
— Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Maitreya Project
Maitreya's name is derived from the Sanskrit 'maitri' meaning 'universal loving-kindness'. Infinitely compassionate and all-knowing, buddhas teach by their words and example in order to guide us along the path to our own spiritual maturity.
"Everyone can make a connection with Maitreya Buddha, so that even if one does not become enlightened during this life time, when Maitreya Buddha teaches one is able to become Maitreya Buddha's disciple and to become enlightened at that time."
— Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Maitreya Project

The Buffalo Infringement Festival – our rising city's loudest, longest and most egalitarian arts event – has served as a beacon for artists with big imaginations and miniscule budgets since its quiet beginnings in 2005.
From one year to the next, it casts an ever-wider net and dredges up artists of all stripes from across the region. For many artists, the free-for-all festival serves as a launching pad to bigger things. For others, it temporarily lifts them from obscurity for the space of a 15-minute acoustic set in someone's backyard, only to drop them right back into the underground. And therein lies this festival's unpredictable beauty.
Starting tonight, the festival – a collection of unhinged street parties and unimaginable oddities mixed in with more mainstream performances and exhibitions – will transform Allentown into a hyperactive bastion of offbeat culture until the final note of the last band resounds in Nietzsche's on Aug. 4. There are plenty of venues outside Allentown, as well, from the hopping Filigree's Boutique at Elmwood and Forest avenues and People's Park, in the Parkside neighborhood, to a stretch of sidewalk near Hoyt Street and Forest Avenue that will host the Infringement Festival's second annual "Anti-Warped Tour" on Saturday.
All the swirling activity is far too much to sum up in two pages, but our map should help you get your bearings, if only to lose them again when you encounter the specific brand of weirdness that interests you most. The full schedule, of which this spread represents only a tiny fraction, is online at www.infringebuffalo.org.
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Coming Home Buffalo: Center for Holistics and Arts
140 Elmwood Ave.
This funky Allentown space will host a head-spinning array of art and music. Highlights include the official opening of a new space called the Gallery Next Door from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday, featuring the visual art of Cari Feltz-Abdo and music from noise artist Sparklebomb. On Saturday, author Kathy Campbell will read from her spirituality themed children's book "The You In You."
Days Park
Between Wadsworth and Cottage streets
The de facto outdoor headquarters of Infringement, the idyllic Days Park, will have events daily starting Friday. It will serve as the nightly stage for fire dancing, including a Friday night performance of the Hoopnosis Fire Faery Show and alternating performances of Frank Santora Plays With Fire and A Buffalo Pyromance at dusk. It's also the venue for three performances of "Tree of Liminality," described as "an interactive performance where participants can engage in existential conversation with a visionary being who lives amongst the tree's enchanted branches." The popular Squeaky Wheel Outdoor Animation Festival is at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, followed by "SqueakEasy: Late night films" at 10:30 p.m.
242 Allen St.
Nietzsche's, the musical nexus of Infringement, will have nightly concerts. Highlights are tonight's Opening Ceremonies with 12 up-and-coming Buffalo bands, Friday's Intergalactic Costume Ball, including gifted Buffalo beatboxer Scantron, Space Junk and DJ Soma. Also check out Saturday night's Apocalypse Ball with performance artist Lesionread, Sunday Night Hodge Podge, Best Monday Ever, Nietzsche's Good Time Saturday Night on Aug. 3 and the Closing Ceremonies on Aug. 4. Following Infringement tradition, the parking lot next to Nietzsche's will host Car Stories, the theatrical oddity launched by the Montreal-based theater artists who founded the first Infringement Festival.
The Foundry
298 Northampton St.
The local art collective known as 8BitBuffalo is setting up shop in this bustling East Side venue that's recently evolved into one of Buffalo's most intriguing grass-roots arts spaces. The collective's exhibition runs from 7 p.m. Friday through Aug. 4 and features painting, sculpture and interactive art that in some way addresses "the aesthetics of classic (circa 1985) video games." The Foundry also features an insane number of music shows and parties throughout the festival.
College Street
The true spirit of Infringement is always on full display during the annual College Street Party. The street is closed to traffic and, on Sunday, becomes a showcase for 14 gifted bands, including Infringement vets Ramforinkus, beatboxer Scantron and the must-see Slyboots Drumming Ensemble.
People's Park
Main Street and Jewett Parkway
Though it's off Infringement's beaten track, this patch of earth in the Parkside neighborhood will be seeing plenty of action. The highlight is the People's Park Hip Hop Blowout from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday with Legal the Lightsaver, Tribe, Walt Dizziness and That Rapper Named D.
Manny Fried Playhouse
255 Great Arrow Ave.
Last year, director Bob Van Valin had to scuttle his Infringement production of Bertolt Brecht's "A Man's a Man." He's mounting it for real this time, and the multimedia production that reflects on unjust wars promises to be engrossing. The theater's parking lot will also host "Buffalo Car Plays," an interactive theater project by local playwrights Donna Hoke, Steve Roylance, Jon Elson and Darryl Schneider.

Very interesting discussion. Recently the Auditor General of Canada released a report identifying the problem with aging IT systems and the threat to government services these systems pose. A contributor to the challenge in remedying this problem is the high complexity of these systems and how they evolved to be so complex in the first place. I look forward to reading your white paper.

LOCKPORT – Eric A. Easton, who according to a prosecutor reacted to his cancer diagnosis by getting drunk and randomly shooting at houses and a vehicle with a rifle, entered his third guilty plea Tuesday in Niagara County Court.
Easton, 29, of Ham Road, Basom, admitted to first-degree reckless endangerment and was scheduled for sentencing June 19 by County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas, who promised to make her sentence run concurrently with whatever time is imposed in Genesee County.
Easton pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment there and in Erie County after going on a shooting spree in the towns of Alabama, Newstead and Royalton on the night of July 10. Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said Easton fired 10 rounds into a truck in Royalton, but not injuring the driver. He also fired at houses in Alabama and Newstead, also without injuring anyone.
Hoffmann said Easton was relieved of his rifle by a man on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation, and Easton then confronted the next police officer he found with a complaint of gun theft.

Ted: It's a shame whether black or white, when the police are there don't make any moves and only do what they say. Don't be stupid! All lives matter, remember that. So do some fact checking, when the last time a white person was shot, how long did that march, rally or looting last. There was none. Next check on violent crimes, that have been committed and who committed them. Riots are an act of terrorism and should be treated as so. Let the National Guard handle these riots with a hard hand.

From what I understand, currently possessed magazines between 8-10 rounds can continue to be possessed, but must only be loaded with 7 rounds.
Now argue that an en bloc clip isn't a magazine...
January 15, 2013, 08:05 PM
Is that true regarding loading 10rd mags with 7, or only temporarily? As for the Garand....who the hell knows

Not from what I am reading! The new law states that all magazines over 7 rounds will be illegal and must be sold within one year. I have not yet read any clause saying that you can keep them. They have effectively banned any possession of magazines, whether they are pre-ban or not.

The M1 rifle has long been a target of the anti-gun gang. They just couldn't quite figure out how to word the ban and how to ban a gun the U.S. government was selling. I expect the Obama administration to shut down the CMP as soon as they get their other gun ban measures passed.
Federal and state gun "control" leaders recognize an opportunity to destroy the Second Amendment for all time and they are going to try very hard to do that. And they have no intention of settling for just a renewal of the expired AWB - they will try to ban as many guns as possible (like pump shotguns and rifles) by calling them assault weapons.

Here's an excerpt from the text of the NY bill that was posted by Moderator Jorg here (http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=8654631&postcount=33):
"Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition, or (b) contains more than seven rounds of ammunition, or (c) is obtained after the effective date of the chapter of the laws of two thousand thirteen which amended this subdivision and has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than seven rounds of ammunition
Current 10 round magazines are grandfathered, but you are on Scout's Honor not to put more than 7 rounds in them. (Remember that NY already had a 10 round limit on magazines prior to this law.)
New magazines must be no more than 7 rounds capacity.
January 16, 2013, 06:41 AM
New Yorkers who own one of the now-banned weapons can either sell them outside the state or keep them. But if they keep the arms, they have up to a year to register them in a statewide firearms database being created.
Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-passes-1st-gun-control-bill-newtown-school-massacre-article-1.1240644#ixzz2I8bWV712
I guess I didn't realize the fact that New Yorkers will be forced to register them if they decide to keep them, rather than just seize the property. The whole law is very vague. I am also reading possessing 10 rd magazines is a Misdemeanor, but maybe that would be the case for only grandfathered magazines that are not registered with the government.
January 16, 2013, 08:49 AM
I dont think the criminal use of an m1 garand exists, & the m1a,as well.its too big,heavy & unwieldy,& from every gun ive ever seen taken on police shows, the news,never saw a garand in 30 years .Never saw a crook with m1 thumb.i cant see how they are so against that rifle,too...
January 16, 2013, 03:02 PM
They will have to be registered, and the en bloc clips need to be registered as well once the law goes into effect.
We can still get Garands from CMP after the law is effective, but we will have to register them within 30 days.
January 16, 2013, 03:06 PM
I believe Garands and SKSs are exempt from the ban.
Here's the magazine breakdown:
Preban 20 or 30 round mags, even if bought legally, are 100% illegal with one year to sell them out of state.
New 10 round mags (after this law's passage) are also illegal to own.
Grandfathered 10 round mags are fine with no requirements to release them, although they cannot be loaded with more than 7 rounds.
Hope that helps.
January 16, 2013, 03:09 PM
I expect the Obama administration to shut down the CMP as soon as they get their other gun ban measures passed.
On know it is Wikipedia, but it still MAY be accurate:
"From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. Title XVI of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106, 10 February 1996) created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety (CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP.[2] The CPRPFS is a tax-exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress, but is not an agency of the U.S. government (Title 36, United States Code, Section 40701 et seq.). Apart from a donation of surplus .22 and .30 caliber rifles in the Army's inventory to the CMP, the CMP receives no federal funding."
Emphasis added.

How do you put 7 rounds in a Garand 8 round enbloc? :banghead:
F'ng NY State. Doesn't usually take more than a few months to go by to remind myself how happy I am and why I left that Liberal, tax happy sesspool in 1994 and never looked back!:)

How do you put 7 rounds in a Garand 8 round enbloc?
I never played with one, but I suppose you'll have to fill the last spot with an empty cartridge or a .30-06 snap cap.
January 16, 2013, 04:57 PM
How do you put 7 rounds in a Garand 8 round enbloc?
-A clip isn't a magazine
-When you push the 8rd clip INTO the magazine, the bolt instantly closes. 7 in the magazine, one in the chamber.
January 16, 2013, 05:09 PM
I believe Garands and SKSs are exempt from the ban.
You know, I think you are right. I think the SKS was an oversight, since semi autos that do not take a detachable mag or clip are not addressed in the law. I am not aware of any other rifles in that category that are typically available?
The Garand is going to be interesting - it does not have a detachable magazine, but I am not sure how the difference b/w clip and mag would hold up in court if it came to that point. How stupid is it that we can buy a Garand without registration after the law is effective, but the en bloc clips have to be 50 years old and registered?
So here is a question - what if I have a 30 round pre-ban AR mag today, and an AR lower. If I remove the bolt catch from the mag and secure the mag into the lower by use of a solid mag release button with a screw or similar, do I have the equivalent of a SKS (legally)? It is now a semi automatic but does not have any capability to accept detachable mags, and without the detachable mag part I could have all the evil features. It would require me to break the action open to load the magwell, much like a SKS loads with the carrier locked back.
January 16, 2013, 07:50 PM
I tried reading the legislation this afternoon on-line and must say after the first read it is nearly non-comprehensible and will go back and read it a few more times. At first read, it looks like many popular rifles including the venerable 10-22 maybe illegal under the new law. I also had thoughts about the M-1 while reading it. Unfortunately, a lot of law abiding citizens will unwittingly be criminalized with this new legislation.
Fortunately, I left the NY metro area in 1975 for New Mexico and never looked back. People in NY are no longer residents of that state but simply serfs there to provide the liberal politicians the financial means to carry out there progressive agenda.
January 16, 2013, 09:14 PM
"How do you put 7 rounds in a Garand clip?"
Drop the empty clip into the rifle. Snap rounds into place either side of the follower. Close the bolt in the normal manner. Depending on your dexterity, it is physically possible to load an EMPTY clip into a Garand.
January 16, 2013, 09:29 PM
You guys are all smarter than me. I'll just stick with putting 8 rounds in my 8 round enbloc clips.
January 17, 2013, 08:42 PM
-A clip isn't a magazine
-When you push the 8rd clip INTO the magazine, the bolt instantly closes. 7 in the magazine, one in the chamber.
The new phrasing would count the en bloc itself to be a "large capacity ammunition feeding device". So a person can not acquire another standard 8 round en bloc, but the ones they currently possess are grandfathered in; although they are not allowed to have more than 7 rounds in them. So simply putting 8 rounds into just the clip alone would be a crime. :banghead:
January 18, 2013, 02:01 AM
The "large capacity device' definition is kind of goofy.
Anything existing in NY as of 1/15/13 that has a capacity of 10 rds. or fewer is NOT a large capacity device, UNLESS it contains more than 7 rds. of ammo - then it is one.
So in NY, your 10/22 or High Standard Victor 10 rd. magazine is not a LCD - until you put the 8th round in it. Then by magic it becomes a large capacity feeding device.
(You can almost hear the politicals sitting in a room hammering out this piece of mangled logic. Well, they were tired and in a hurry, and anyway all the magazines in question have a capacity greater than the IQ of the those present.)
Any mags brought into the state after that date are limited to a capacity of 7 rds. No new 10 rounders.
Anything over 10 rds. gotta go, one year or less.
January 18, 2013, 08:14 AM
So does this mean a Marlin Model 60 .22 is banned?
January 18, 2013, 11:03 AM
.22 RF tubular magazines rifles are exempted in the new law.
January 18, 2013, 11:32 AM
So does this mean a Marlin Model 60 .22 is banned?
No; while it does hold over 7 rounds, there is a specific exemption for tube feed .22 rimfires.
23. "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt,
drum, feed strip, or similar device, that ...
MORE THAN SEVEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION; provided, however, that such term
does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and
capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition
Although I believe it would still be limited that you could only load 7 rounds into it.
January 18, 2013, 12:36 PM
Here is an opportunity for massive civil disobedience if there ever was one; the days of continuing to be a "law abiding citizen" are long over, especially when continuing to be that "law abiding citizen" means you meekly hand over your personal property. That very long line of Australians handing over their personal weapons for destruction by the state ensured that they were law abiding, and what did that do for them? If the American people continue to let themselves be pushed around by the socialists politicians, they have only themselves to blame when the goblins come to feed.
January 19, 2013, 09:15 PM
They make 5 rd enbloc clips for the garand,i guess thats what New Yorkers will have to start getting.

LITTLE VALLEY – A Little Valley man pleaded guilty and an Olean man pleaded not guilty in child sex cases before Cattaraugus County Judge Larry M. Himelein on Monday.
Eric A. Kuhaneck, 21, of Little Valley, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted sexual abuse in the first degree for an incident involving a 10-year-old child Aug. 15. He faces a possible prison term of up to eight years on his felony plea at his March 25 sentencing.
Timothy R. Retchless, 40, of Olean, pleaded not guilty to a 16-count indictment accusing him of raping an underage girl in Olean between November 2009 and December 2010. County District Attorney Lori Pettit Rieman said the grand jury charged Retchless with four counts of third-degree rape and 12 counts of second-degree disseminating indecent material to minors and endangering the welfare of a child.
Also Monday:
• Maxwell B. Mohawk, 19, of Perrysburg, pleaded not guilty to an attempted murder indictment in connection with the shooting of a Steamburg man in Perrysburg on Oct. 28. Pettit Rieman said Mohawk also is accused of first-degree assault for allegedly shooting Charles F. White, 23, with a .45-caliber pistol in a yard on Whites Drive on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation.
• Summer Matthews, 30, of an unknown permanent address, was sentenced to 60 days in the Cattaraugus County Jail on her guilty plea to an attempted assault charge for fighting with a police officer in Yorkshire on May 30.
• Tammy M. Paddock, 53, of Olean, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of aggravated driving while intoxicated for her arrest in Olean on July 5, when she was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.21 percent, nearly three times the legal limit for DWI.
• Margaret M. Wolf, 51, of Delevan, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of driving while intoxicated for her arrest in Yorkshire on June 16, when she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 percent.
• Christina A. Kelley, 46, of Little Valley, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of fourth-degree welfare fraud for illegally collecting public assistance of more than $3,000 from June 2008 to October 2011.
Paddock, Wolf and Kelley all face sentencing March 25.

MARTINSBURG - A woman accused of injuring a 92-year-old woman's wrist in March following an argument with the alleged victim's great-grandson was arraigned Thursday on a warrant charging her with one count of misdemeanor battery.
Kristen Denise Marshall, 23, of Baneberry Lane, Martinsburg, was later released from custody after posting $3,000 bail.
According to court records, at about 11:38 a.m. March 20, Trooper R.D. Eshbaugh of the West Virginia State Police responded to the victim's residence for a report of an assault on an elderly woman.
Police received information indicating the 92-year-old alleged victim was assaulted by her great-grandson's girlfriend, later identified as Marshall, and that emergency medical services personnel were dispatched to the scene to treat her injuries. Marshall left the scene prior to the arrival of police, records show.
Once at the scene, police spoke with the alleged victim and several neighbors who came to the woman's assistance. Police learned through statements from the victim and neighbors that Marshall had been arguing with the victim's great-grandson and that the altercation took place at about 9:30 that morning, records show.
The victim told police that Marshall was irritated, because she had stayed over and couldn't find her shorts in the morning. She alleged Marshall began yelling at her and threw soda and food in the kitchen. The victim said that when Marshall started yelling at her and "getting in her face," she pushed Marshall back. Marshall then allegedly grabbed the victim's right arm, records show.
Police found that the victim had obvious swelling to the wrist area of her right arm, and she was briefly treated by medics at the scene before being transported to City Hospital in Martinsburg for further evaluation. It was later learned that the victim required a followup visit with her physician for a hematoma-related injury, records show.
Prior to leaving the victim's residence, police spoke with her great-grandson. He told police that he observed the altercation between the victim and Marshall.
He said that he had to physically restrain Marshall during the altercation and indicated that he put Marshall in a "headlock" to get her off his great-grandmother, records show.
Police found Marshall at her residence in Berkeley County. She told police she was defending herself by grabbing the alleged victim's arm, because she alleged the woman was attempting to slap her repeatedly in the face.
"It was the trooper's assessment after hearing statements from both persons involved that Ms. Marshall, being much younger and able-bodied, had the opportunity to leave (the victim's) residence willingly and could have chosen not to engage in a physical altercation. The trooper did not observe any injuries on Ms. Marshall, nor did she report having any," a copy of the criminal complaint contained in the warrant for Marshall's arrest reads.
If convicted of battery, Marshall faces a maximum of up to 12 months in jail or a fine of up to $500 or both.

2 men accused of stealing TVs from Walmart
A Holly Hill man is accused of stealing televisions from a Flagler County Walmart, and authorities say he's hit the same store several times.
Kevin Burns, 54, was arrested Thursday in Ormond Beach after loss prevention officers at a Palm Coast Walmart saw Burns steal two 32-inch flat-screen TVs and walk out of the store.
They told deputies he was the same man who stole merchandise earlier in the month.
Burns drove off but a sheriff's deputy later spotted the vehicle and said Burns admitted to the thefts. Officials said he may be connected to other thefts in Volusia County.
Investigators said Burns had an accomplice in the vehicle, 31-year-old Ryan Strnad. He was also arrested.

According to homeland security, if you believe in your Constitution and specifically 2nd amendment, you could be a violence prone terrorist. What are we becoming as a nation when you are more of a threat to Gov't than radical Muslims if you have a stong belief in the Constitution EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL SWEARS TO UPHOLD AND DEFEND AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

Millions of Jews allowed themselves to be slaughtered by allowing themselves to be disarmed. Millions of Russians were slaughtered under Stalin because they allowed themselves to be disarmed. Millions of Chinese and many other instances where people were slaughtered by often times their own governments.
You have the God given duty to protect yourself and your family. In extreme times that could also mean against your own gov't.
If you allow Obama to disarm you to the point where regular police have firearms that you cannot have, you will be oppressed and eventually killed. It may not be by this president, it may not be in 10 years but guaranteed, it is a fact, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF...

The right to self-defense is inalienable and the 2nd amendment codified it. What part of, "the right of the people" and what part of "shall not be infringed" to people not understand?
The tyrants will always be around trying to take or control your guns till you gun owners stand up and refuse by force if necessary to protect your right to protect your family.
A right not exercised is a right lost.
A "law" written that contradicts the Constitution is tyranny and Americans have the duty and obligation to resist.
A president who defies his oath of office must be arrested for treason against the constitution if not by the legislator or the judicial branch then by the people as the final check and balance.

"Planned Parenthood has an independent audit every year. In addition, the federal government can go into their offices a perform and audit going back three years, anytime the government wants to. Those are some of the conditions of receiving federal funds."
squirm- Nice try, but you are shooting from the hip again. On Sept. 15, 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce launched an investigation of Planned Parenthood. The investigation requested, among other items, "all internal audit reports conducted by PPFA and its affiliates from 1998 to 2010. If not clearly indicated in the audit reports, please detail how much PPFA and each affiliate expended and received in Title XIX Medicaid funding, Title X family planning funding, and any other federal funding." So far, PPFA has been silent on this request.

Interesting point, Kalva. I remember one animal rights activist saying that if a human and a deer were in the road and she had to choose, she would hit the human to save the deer. That is how crazy the left can be.

Speaking of pets, as mssrschmidt suggests. We should keep in mind that Obama's proposal for "more study" on the question of violence in the media and video games is just a delaying tactic. If the right wants to smoke out the leftists on this issue they should finance a video game that uses cats and dogs as targets rather than people. They could call it "Raining cats an dogs", with cute little puppies and kittens (animated of course) being blown to bits with blood and guts raining down. Do you think the left would deny the influence of that game ? I could think of others, but it might offend certain "protected" groups.

squirm - "Audited by CPA firms. The same independent audit firms that the private sector uses. And five inaccuracies over six years and millions of dollars of transactions. None of them had anything to do with abortion."
So how did their "CPA firms" miss thoose little "inaccuracies", and when did the government ever find more than the tip of a fraud iceberg ? Corruption and fraud is just that - not inaccuracies. All the more reason for congress to have an investigation.

Wow, that's reassuring ! We wouldn't expect them to lie would we ? Even though they have been audited, and found to have overbilled in at least 5 cases between 2004 and 2009 by either state or federal agncies.
.... double billing—billing Medicaid for services provided to patients who were enrolled in the provider's HMO network. .... charging excessive amounts for contraceptives and distributed and charged for prescription medication without having a valid prescription. .... populated the family planning indicator field on Medicaid claims even though the service provided did not meet the criteria for 90-percent Federal funding.

As for Planned Parenthood:
"For years Planned Parenthood has sold itself as an organization dedicated to "women's health and safety." But Live Action's undercover investigations over the past four years have revealed Planned Parenthood to be a corrupt and dangerous organization that has anything but women's health and safety as top priorities. Planned Parenthood's top priority is abortion, at the expense of the well-being of women and young girls."

Danner post: Banning abortions will save far more children than any gun ban could ever hope to.
Wow, Danner is exactly right. Why no outcry here? I will tell you why, because no photos of the fetus or child is made available. No media sensationalism is available without photos. How can you approve of abortions but denounce murder of children? I hope our country reaches a consensus on the gun issue. Otherwise, our society will see additional division and we don't need that right now.

I spent the last week out in San Francisco and couldn't sleep the other night so I thought I would, in my sleepy yet unable to sleep haze, put up a video blog post to kick off the Bargaineering VideoCast (BVC) series. This one will talk about how you should always take what personal finance experts say with a grain of salt. Whether it's an advisor or some talking head, the adage still holds true. If you don't follow it, then you deserve everything you get.
Word of warning, the camera does have a little bit of shake (I'm holding it) and I'm new at this so I hope to improve it. Please don't get sick! 🙂
Here's the Wikipedia page for Suze Orman, ranked [3] number 1 by Google (through some fine SEO I'm sure!) for personal finance expert [4]. I have nothing against Suze Orman (unlike James Scurlock [5]), I merely pointed her out because she's one of the hot names in personal finance right now. At times I think her abrasive attitude is a bit over the top (but for some, it's absolutely necessary) but that's hardly a fault.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this little experiment, on what I have to say, on pretty much everything!

The 6 Most WTF Medical Procedures That Inexplicably Exist
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Say, do you like modern medicine? Sure you do. There are accounts from the Dark Ages of doctors attempting to cure the "feeble-minded" by cutting a cross-shaped wound into their heads with razors, peeling the flesh back all the way down to the skull, then rubbing salt all over it to scare the demon out. And it worked, if the demon was life and the goal was to make that life stop. Which is to say, don't peel someone's skull skin off and salt the wound. That's really piss-poor medicine. But modern medicine is great -- it gives us pacemakers, insulin pumps, super awesome robot limbs, and dogs in wheelchairs.
For all the awesomeness medicine provides, it also has its disinfected fingers in a few weird pies that you never even knew existed. Stuff that, even if it is useful (and not all of it seems to be), it's certainly weird as shit. And that's an official medical diagnosis. The prognosis is comedy!
#6. Head Transplant
Doctors can transplant all manner of body parts these days, from hearts to ears to dongs (probably). And now it seems like you can put heads on that list. Heads. Your head. Or someone else's head on your body, assuming your body is free and in need of a new head.
Up until now there were a few barriers in the way of a proper head transplant. The big hurdle, of course, is that you need a head, and so does everyone else. Got a bodiless head and a headless body? That's two dead guys. But say you have them on ice and they're still fresh and mostly free from freezer burn -- now what? Any morbid maniac with a needle and thread could technically sew those things together, but hey, you could sew a patch that says "Belieber 4 Life" onto your own scrotum -- it doesn't mean you should, and it doesn't mean you'll benefit from it in any way.
The big problem with a head transplant is making the body work after the head is attached. They've been sewing animal heads on new bodies all holus-bolus since the 1970s, but the resulting frankenpoodles were all paralyzed because reattaching the spinal cord is hard as shit to do. Or it used to be. Because thanks to research by the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, the problems with reattaching that spinal column have been overcome, and now we can all swap noggins!

"I'm a donor. My finger, my butt, your nightmares."
OK, maybe it's not as simple as all of that, and the procedure hasn't been tested yet, but the science is there. The terrible, creepy science.
Say you're in an accident in some kind of industrial head separatoring machine like they use in the back of Walmart or whatever and oh shit, there goes you head. As is tradition, your body is turned to mulch and you're in a bit of a bind. Luckily, a guy across town was also in a head separatoring machine, but he went in upside down and his head is now a pudding. So you and him meet up at the hospital and a doctor puts you two crazy cats together. Now when you wake up, you have creepy new hands that you're afraid to pick your teeth with, and when you poop, it's probably not a color you're used to because those guts aren't yours. And your crotch is a whole new crotch that probably isn't pleasant to you because how can you like having new genitals? What if your new junk is bulky and weird? What if it smells funny? What if there's a mole on it? How will you ever handle having a new body?
If the new body heebie-jeebies don't get you, then taking a moment to think about tissue rejection ought to scare the shit out of your new ass. What if that body rejects your head? That's literally the most awful thing I can think of. Do you want your head going necrotic? It's your head!
#5. Toebesity
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Look at the title of this entry. Look at that word, that preposterous portmanteau. Portmantoe. Portly Man's Toe. Good God. Toebesity is the shameful moniker made up by someone in the cosmetic surgery racket to describe fat toes, which is apparently a thing. An honest to goodness thing.
Due to the fear of what your feet may look like in sandals and other footwear that relies heavily on foot nudity, people began going to surgeons and asking for some manner of invasive, slicey way to slim their toes down. This wasn't even a thing a surgeon dreamed up, this was a recurring request from vapid, shallow, awful humans that eventually inspired surgeons to shrug and start shaving the fat-ass toes of rich people.
The surgery can cost around $2,500, and it consists of the removal of fat and bone to make the toe smaller. There are legit medical reasons for doing this sometimes, things like hammertoe, but there's a larger market for people who just want their feet to look better and are actually, non-jokingly self-conscious about the size of their toes. A better surgery for people like this would be to have a doctor remove the excess asshole tissue that is clearly making them into giant assholes, but that may be against some kind of Hippocratic oath.
#4. Eyelash Transplants
Jupiterimages/Pixland/Getty Images
Your eyelashes exist solely to keep things like grit and bugs and transplanted dongs out of your eyes. They're like a really weak-ass security system easily overcome by anything capable of forward momentum. Still, if we didn't have them, our eyes would be gooey, muddy, dust-laden messes all the time, so it's pretty useful to keep them around.
While you and I flaunt our eyelashes like pompously arrogant lash sultans of old, some poor folks have no lashes, or suffer conditions that cause them to fall or even be pulled out (because that's really a thing, and it's sadder than a puppy with its leg in a sling). And, surprising to no one, some people are just really vain and want more lash than genetics offered them at birth. The solution to these problems is eyelash transplant surgery.
"Ryan Seacrest did this to me. For no reason."
You'll notice right away that your eyelashes are a bit of a niche product on your body. You don't really have a lot of other hairs that are similar, barring those few of us who engage in the classical art of pube topiary. And even then, you don't want pubes for eyelashes because you'd just end up looking like a disgraceful sponge with a well-worn scrubby side and pupils.
The actual procedure for lash transplantation is to remove hairs from the back of your head and sew them into your eyelids. So your new lashes are head hairs, which means they keep growing. If you let them, they'll grow about as long as the hair on your head normally grows, which is why you need to trim your new transplants once a week after getting them. Doesn't that sound fun?
I like the idea of someone growing preposterously long, limp eyelashes that look like Cher's hair in the '70s, like weird curtains for their eyes that get tangled and knotted, because that kind of thing amuses me. I also assume that your eye crud that forms every morning has the potential to get all caked and nasty in your extra-long lashes, making you look diseased and uncomfortable to be around first thing in the morning.

IMPERIAL - The tide turned and the Potters lost the momentum en route to losing the game.
The Moon Area boys' basketball team outscored East Liverpool, 45-14, over the final 17 minutes or so of game time in recording a 63-37 victory in Game 1 of the Pennsylvania-Ohio Border Bash Friday night at West Allegheny High School.
The Potters led 23-18 with 1:16 to go in the first half, but the Tigers ended the half on an 8-0 run to take a 26-23 lead into the locker room. Moon outscored East Liverpool, 37-14 in the second half, including 16-1 in the fourth quarter.

With the loss, the Potters drop to 0-4 on the season. The Tigers are now 1-0.
"We're not running our stuff," East Liverpool coach Nate Conley said. "We were up by five, and then we went into the locker room down by three. The kids did not listen to what we wanted. I wanted us to hold for the final shot, and we come down and take a quick shot. We had a couple of turnovers.
"I should have called timeout. That was the first time we have been in that kind of situation. I don't blame the kids. I blame myself. I didn't have them prepared for that end of half situation. I should have called timeout."

3-Pointers: East Liverpool: 2 (Cunningham, Reynolds); Moon Area: 7 (Korzi 3, Elias 2, Bondi, SiBeto)
Two players scored in double digits for the Potters. Hayden Cunningham netted a team-high 12 points, and Kade Reynolds delivered 10.
Also for East Liverpool, Owen Crawford contributed six points, Derek Thompson ended up with four points and D.J. Austin and Aaron Long each collected two points. Finally, John Rickerd recorded one point.
Three players scored in double digits for the Tigers. Nick Korzi contributed a game-high 23 points to lead the way, Eric Elias scored 11 points and Tyler Crenshaw recorded 10 points.
"We got beat by a good 4A team," Conley said. "That team had no seniors last year. They are how we were last year."
Moon outrebounded East Liverpool, 27-21. Crenshaw pulled down seven rebounds to lead the Tigers. Thompson and Reynolds each had five rebounds for the Potters.
The Potters committed 25 turnovers in the game, while the Tigers committed 15.
"We had too many turnovers," Conley said. "We had too many unforced turnovers. We had too many forced turnovers. We had too many useless turnovers. We had too many empty possessions."
Moon scored the first six points of the game before Cunningham nailed a 3-pointer to put the Potters on the scoreboard. Korzi ended the frame with a three-point play to put the Tigers up 13-4 at the end of the quarter.
The Potters scored the first six points of the second stanza to pull within 13-9 forcing Moon to take a timeout with 6:30 left to play in the half. Later, a basket by Crenshaw put the Tigers up 18-13, but the Potters ripped off a 10-0 run to take a 23-18 lead with 1:16 left to play before halftime.
The Tigers took control of the game from that point.
In the third quarter, a 3-pointer by Elias put Moon up 41-27. The Potters countered with an 8-3 spurt to pull within 44-36 on a 3-pointer by Reynolds, but Korzi drained a 3-pointer of his own with 1.7 seconds left in the stanza to put the Tigers ahead 47-36 entering the fourth quarter.
"This is their first game of the year," Conley said. "I know some coaches from around here so I made some calls to find out about them."
In the fourth, the Tigers scored the first 16 points of the frame before Rickerd drained a foul shot with 36.1 seconds left to play in the game.
"We are so young and inexperienced," Conley said. "They were a real-young team last year. They got blown out in a lot of their games. This is a real good teaching tool. I told them that that could be us.
"We are going to get there, but it is going to take time. I never said it wasn't going to take time. It's going to take time and effort. We have some good athletes."
West Allegheny played Independence in Friday's nightcap.
East Liverpool will play West Allegheny at 3:30 p.m. today while Independence will play Moon.

The recent court ruling on South Carolinas voter ID law is both good news and bad news. The good news is that a court ruled that the states voter ID law will not be in force for this election. The bad news is that voter ID is still a very bad idea, for any election.
On the surface, the states new voter ID bill seems right require a picture ID to stop voter fraud. Sure, stop fraud and IDs are no problem. Whats the big deal, everyone already has a drivers license or state issued photo ID, right?
Wrong, dead wrong.
The truth is that this law has nothing to do with voter fraud and everything to do with making it harder for 178,000 registered voters to exercise their right to vote, simply because most of them are likely to vote Democratic.
This is real simple.
At the heart of this issue are two, simple undeniable facts.
Fact One: There is no problem. The whole bugaboo of voter fraud in this bill is a total and complete sham.
The bill requires a voter to show a state issued drivers license or picture ID along with their voter registration card before they can vote. This is to supposedly stop someone from voting with another persons voter registration card legally it is called voter impersonation.
It doesnt happen. According to the non-partisan State Election Commission, there has not been a single case of voter impersonation in South Carolina for decades not one, nada, zip, zero.
In fact, the Election Commission could not cite a single specific case of voter impersonation in South Carolina in the last 100 years.
Read the above paragraph again .Thats right, there has never been a single recorded case in 100 years of voter impersonation in South Carolina the supposed fraud that this bill is designed to stop.
Fact Two: There are 178,000 registered voters in this state who cannot vote under this law unless they go get a drivers license or picture ID. These folks have been registered and voting for years without any problems using only their voter registration card. That will now be against the law.
Again, 178,000 existing duly registered legal voters who can no longer vote unless they go and get new documentation.
There are many valid reasons why these 178,000 people do not have a valid state drivers license or valid photo ID they are disabled and dont drive, the were born years ago in rural areas and dont have a birth certificate, they are married and their names or addresses have changed, and on and on it goes.
The point is that none of these reasons even matter if you have been voting with only your registration card without a single problem why should you have to go and get new documents now?
These facts are just that clear, undisputed facts, i.e. no cases of voter impersonation and preventing 178,000 people with valid voter registration cards from voting. Do not take my word for it call the SC Election Commission and ask them if these two facts are true their phone number is (803) 734-9070.
So why was this bill passed by the Republican controlled legislature, without a single Democratic vote and signed by a Republican governor?
Why would these Republicans want to spend an estimated $3 million to $4 million dollars in tax money we dont have, and create new bureaucratic regulations to force people to get these new picture IDs? (I thought Republicans were against this kind of thing.)
Its very simple. An analysis of these 178,000 voters shows that a disproportionate share are black, old, live in rural areas, or are students who move often i.e. the very groups that vote disproportionately Democratic.
Thats it. Thats what the whole voter ID controversy is all about reducing the Democratic vote. That is it; nothing more and nothing less.
We all know that there is a lot of foolishness in politics with both sides trying to get a little advantage here and there; thats natural. However, thats not what this is all about.
This is different. The Republicans are trying to change the law, rig the system and damage our democratic system of free elections simply to make it harder for some people to exercise their sacred right to vote simply because they disagree with them.
Thats wrong, dead wrong.

At the waterpark, a little girl swam up to me in the basketball pool and said, "I remember you. You were very nice and helped me out once. It's been years since we were last together."
I remember her exact words because they were so sharp they made a mark and I immediately turned to repeat it to Jeff. We remarked how she was kind of a fast-forwarded version of Ivy, someday.
She was seven, and her name was Ellie. And she stayed by me a long time, smiling and acting like we were friends. I even watched her when her mom went to get an iced coffee. I swear we never met before but something about it felt so right and okay.


text: A jewel of a mountain valley, it spreads from the entrance near Grono to the hamlets in the farthest corner. The Calanca Valley fascinates visitors with its amazing riches of art treasures and cultural history. Little villages and hamlets, mostly consisting of age-old stone houses with grey slate roofs, sunny terraces, and snow-white chapels dot the valley. Many places can only be reached on foot or with an aerial cable-car. A vacation region for sybarites and people who like an exclusive ambience.
