Excellent 4.4 /5 from 122 reviews
This was our 2nd stay and It was just as great as the first. Everyone has a smile, greets you, ask if they can help. My wife and I truly love the location, the hotel staff. It is our place to stay in Branson.
We came to celebrate our anniversary and wanted a relaxing getaway. The room was clean, quiet, and included a refrigerator and microwave. The front desk personnel were helpful and friendly. The cost was more than we usually pay, but included a hot breakfast.
The lady who checked us in was not friendly at all. But the one who checked us out was so sweet. This hotel allows pets, and we had a barking dog next door. We called the front desk to ask if we could be moved and never got a call back from anyone.
a nice spot for a get-away!
Changed to this hotel after 1 night of staying on strip. MUCH BETTER hotel and stay than any of the strip hotels. Away from the hustle and bustle and traffic that clogs the strip. Quiet, peaceful, clean an comfortable stay. Only 10 minute drive back to the strip.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention related to internal combustion engines and their operation, and in particular to a development of the invention disclosed in our co-pending U.K. Patent application no. 9016813.9.
2. Discussion of Prior Art
In said co-pending application, timing of the opening and closing of an inlet valve of a combustion chamber is controlled so that its opening creates an in-flow to the chamber to create turbulence, which thereafter assists combustion. Preferably between ignitions in the engine's cycle there are two openings of a single inlet valve, two separate inlet valves opening once each or separate openings of an exhaust valve and an inlet valve.
However, with engines having two inlet valves per cylinder, and a separate camshaft for each such valve, there is a difficult compromise between the rate of valve opening defined by the cam profile, the intensity of turbulence and pumping work.
In an ideal case, the first and second inlet valve openings would, at light load, be of short duration. The first valve would open near to TDC and its closing would not be too late in the induction stroke otherwise the pressure differential developed across the second inlet valve by the time of its opening would be inadequate to produce the desired `blowdown` turbulence. The second valve closing time is fixed by the requirement to trap the desired mass of mixture in the cylinder, and the opening of the second valve should be as late as possible so that the blowdown turbulence has only a short time to decay. At 6000 RPM, the stress on the nose of the cam and cam follower controlling the inlet valves is high with conventional opening periods. To operate with periods of approximately half these values for the double induction process would force either a much lower RPM limit or a much reduced valve lift. Both of these actions would reduce maximum power available to meet full load demand.
An object of the invention is to overcome this difficulty.
According to the invention there is provided a method of operating an internal combustion engine having an inlet manifold, at least one combustion chamber with at least two inlet valves and at least one outlet valve, a piston reciprocable in the or each chamber to define a variable volume space therein, and means for controlling the timing of the opening and closing of each of two of the inlet valves of the or each chamber independently, the method comprising opening one of the independently controlled inlet valves of the or each chamber during the exhaust stroke of the engine, producing first and second pressures in the inlet manifold and the at least one chamber respectively, said first pressure being greater than said second pressure, whereby opening of the other of the independently controlled inlet valves of the or each chamber, at a time when said one of the independently controlled inlet valves is closed and while this predetermined pressure differential exists, creates an in-flow into the or each chamber generating turbulence, at least some of which is present when combustion occurs in the or each chamber.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided an internal combustion engine comprising an inlet manifold, at least one combustion chamber with at least two inlet valves and at least one outlet valve, a piston reciprocable in the or each chamber to define a variable volume space therein, and means for controlling the timing of the opening and closing of each of two of the inlet valves of the or each chamber independently so that opening of one of the independently controlled inlet valves of the or each chamber occurs during the exhaust stroke of the engine, opening of the other of the independently controlled inlet valves of the or each chamber, at a time when said one of the independently controlled inlet valves is closed, and when pressure in the or each chamber is lower than pressure in said inlet manifold, producing a predetermined pressure differential across said other of the independently controlled inlet valves, creating an in-flow to the or each chamber generating turbulence, at least some of which is present when combustion occurs in the or each chamber.
The expressions `induction stroke`, `compression stroke` and `exhaust stroke` as used herein are intended to have their usual meanings in relation to a piston of a four stroke engine, notwithstanding the opening and closing of inlet and exhaust valves at timings different from the normal relative to said strokes.
The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the timing of the opening and closing of two inlet valves of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine of the invention, relative to the engine's four strokes, the engine being subject to light load,
FIG. 2 is the same diagram, but with the engine subject to full load,
FIG. 3 is again the same diagram, with the engine subject to light load, the second inlet valve opening now being longer than shown in FIG. 1, and the first inlet closing being earlier; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention.
In our co-pending U.K. Patent application no. 9016813.9 it is described and illustrated how `blowdown` turbulence can be produced by opening a single inlet valve of a combustion cylinder twice. It is also mentioned that the invention is clearly applicable to an engine with two inlet valves (and at least one exhaust valve) per cylinder. However with two inlet valves it is, as explained, a difficult compromise between the rate of valve opening defined by the cam profile of the valve camshaft, the intensity of turbulence, and pumping work, with the opening and closing timing referred to. If the longer than ideal open periods are accepted, then the timing of the first valve's closing must remain unchanged to maintain the pressure differential. Thus the opening of the first valve must occur during the exhaust stroke.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1 where the engine is subject to a light load, one of the inlet valves, hereinafter called the `first` inlet valve, opens at A, which is only shortly after the start of the exhaust stroke. To prevent backflow of exhaust gases into the inlet manifold a reed valve or other non-return valve is disposed upstream of said first inlet valve, e.g. in said first inlet valve's feed duct.
The opening of this first inlet valve is longer than envisaged in our aforementioned patent application and its timing is variable. During the early part of the induction stroke air/fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder and then the first inlet valve closes, as indicated at B, before the induction stroke is complete.
The other inlet valve, hereinafter called the `second` inlet valve, does not open until some time after the start of the compression stroke, indicated at C, and as the second inlet valve opens there is a rapid `blowdown`, which causes turbulence, in the same manner as described in our earlier patent application. Excess air/fuel mixture is induced into the cylinder, and as the piston rises the surplus is driven back out into the inlet manifold. The second inlet valve closes just before the end of the compression stroke, the timing of this closing determining the mass of trapped mixture. The pumping work and `blowdown` turbulence are controlled by the timing of the closure of the first inlet valve. Each inlet valve is controlled by a separate cam shaft. Both inlet valves are open for at least 120� (crankshaft rotation) which is similar to current valve opening rates with metal valves. Possible future use of ceramic valves, which have a much lower mass, could allow faster opening and closing for the same level of stress on the nose of the valve operating cam.
The increase in the number of engines with four valves per cylinder is largely due to the demand for ever greater power from a given engine capacity. Two inlet valves per cylinder are needed to give the greatest flow area and minimum pressure drop, so that the maximum quantity of mixture can be induced at high RPM. Therefore although, as described, double induction and blowdown turbulence are needed at part load, both inlet valves will need to be open for most if not all of the induction stroke to maintain maximum power. Extra turbulence is not needed at full load because the mixture will be fast burning, partly due to the air/fuel ratio being stoichiometrically rich and partly due to the high temperature and pressure of the mixture at the time of ignition.
Although FIGS. 1 and 2 show the valve openings with light load and full load states respectively, the control of the engine is continuous with load. As load increases, the timing of the first inlet valve operation is retarded so that it closes progressively later in the induction stroke, and near to full load closure occurs after BDC. At the same time the second inlet valve closure is advanced to trap more mixture and at higher loads the inlet valve opening periods increasingly overlap. Accordingly blowdown turbulence progressively decreases with increase in load and falls to zero somewhere in the mid-load range.
For a full load situation, FIG. 2 shows how the first inlet valve now opens later. The opening A still occurs during the exhaust stroke, but now close to the end thereof. The first inlet valve stays open until just after the start of the compression stroke, position B, and is thus open throughout the induction stroke. The second inlet valve opens at C, someway into the induction stroke, and closes at D just before the end of the induction stroke. Thus both the inlet valves are open during the middle of the induction stroke when gas velocities are at their highest. No `blowdown` turbulence occurs when the second inlet valve opens.
With the described arrangement there is no extra resistance to flow at full load, compared to a conventional two inlet valve engine. The compromise between `blowdown` turbulence and pumping work is controlled by the timing of the first inlet valve closing.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 the period of opening of the second inlet valve is shown to be less than that of the first inlet valve. This has the advantage that at low RPM and light load blowdown turbulence occurs during the compression stroke so giving the shortest time for the turbulence to decay before ignition. However where the highest power output is required, i.e. to maximise torque at high RPM, the second inlet valve may need the same period of opening as the first inlet valve.
If, in the case of light load, the second inlet valve were to open during the induction stroke, any problem due to increased decay in the blowdown turbulence can be countered by closing the first inlet valve earlier to increase the pressure differential and the blowdown energy. The overall effect is thus to trade off some pumping work to gain the highest possible power output. FIG. 3 shows, for a light engine load, the consequences of increasing the duration of the opening of the second inlet valve towards the same duration as the opening of the first inlet valve. As described, the second inlet valve opening now occurs before the end of the induction stroke and the first inlet valve closes earlier, to increase the pressure differential and thus the blowdown energy.
For engines with 3 inlet valves per cylinder, it is considered best for two of the valves to be simultaneously opened during the exhaust stroke, with the third inlet valve making the second opening, in order to make the average flow rate at the third inlet valve during blowdown as high as possible.
As described, the timing of the inlet valves is controlled. Additionally the or each exhaust valve of the cylinder can have its timing controlled so that, for example, it does not close until after the start of the induction stroke, whereupon exhaust gas is induced into the cylinder. When the second inlet valve opens, there would still be, as described above, induction of an air/fuel mixture to produce blowdown turbulence. However the chamber would already contain a mixture of exhaust gas, induced through the exhaust valve, and air, induced through the first inlet valve. The mixture induced through the exhaust valve and the first inlet valve can have its degree of dilution controlled, in order to reduce the formation of nitrous oxides, without risking misfire through excessive dilution, whilst at the same time allowing retention of control of the blowdown energy and corresponding pumping work.
The timing of the exhaust valve closure would determine the degree of dilution with exhaust gas, and the timing of the closure of the first inlet valve would determine the overall blowdown energy, assuming that the first inlet valve closes after the closure of the exhaust valve. Ideally the timing of the inlet valve opening would be retarded as the closure of the exhaust valve was retarded, to maintain a similar degree of overlap (if any). However this may only prove essential if the engine retains a throttle, so that the inlet manifold pressure is significantly below that of the exhaust manifold.
In another embodiment, almost the same effect occurs if the exhaust valve closes earlier, namely during the exhaust stroke. The earlier the closure, the more exhaust gas is trapped and these gases are then compressed and expanded as the piston rises to TDC and then descends again. The gases act as a spring and little energy is lost. The main advantage of early exhaust valve closure is that there is no possibility of the exhaust valve clashing with the piston near TDC.
The method and apparatus so far described have been concerned with an engine having a carburettor for producing the air/fuel mixture required for combustion. However the invention also has applicability to a fuel injected engine, being particularly advantageous in relation to cold starting and warm up, by improving mixture preparation.
With conventional port fuel injection, for example, the fuel spray is introduced when the inlet valve is closed. The fuel forms a liquid film on the back of the valve and the walls of the inlet port, this liquid film being substantially evaporated by the time that the inlet valve is opened. When the engine is cold, little of the fuel film is evaporated and the mixture drawn into the cylinder when the inlet valve opens has a reduced vapour concentration and much of the fuel is in droplet form. Extra fuel must thus be added during warm up to raise the concentration of both vapour and small diameter droplets to achieve an easily ignited mixture, but with the penalty of increased CO and HC emissions. This problem of slow evaporation of the fuel film on the manifold wall when the engine is cold, applies equally to carburettors and single point injectors.
A known proposed improvement is to use air assisted fuel injectors to generate a fuel spray of small diameter droplets which tend to remain in suspension in the air rather than forming a fuel film on the walls of the inlet port. Provided that the droplets are below a critical diameter of about 10 μm, the spark will ignite the cloud of droplets as easily as with a vaporised fuel mixture.
However, it is considered that the blowdown effect of the invention will produce a similar process of atomisation. If the second inlet valve opening is delayed until the descending piston has reduced the in-cylinder pressure to below that in the inlet manifold, opening of the inlet valve results in a sudden inrush of air, which will tend to atomise the fuel collected around the inlet valve seat. Whether changes are needed to the control strategy for operation during cold running will depend on the type of double induction being used. Port fuel injection offers the opportunity to time the injection between openings, or to direct the injection into one port only.
With two inlet valves and the exhaust valve closing at or before the end of the exhaust stroke, the pressure differential exists when the second inlet valve opens, and best atomisation will be achieved if, during cold running, all the fuel is injected into the second inlet port and none into the first inlet port. At light loads the blowdown turbulence should ensure good mixing of this fuel with the air induced through each valve, but at high loads, when there is no blowdown turbulence, there may be some charge stratification, especially at low engine speeds. However, this is not expected to be a serious problem.
For single point injection systems, it is also possible to improve mixture preparation for cold starting, by means of blowdown turbulence, but only for the double induction process in which exhaust gas is induced first and air (with fuel) is induced in the second stage.
Another application of the invention is to engines with catalytic converters, so as to shorten the time to catalyst `light-off`, namely the time to heat the catalyst to temperatures at which it is most efficient in the removal of HC, CO and NOx. Emission regulations in several countries demand that automobiles are tested over defined drive cycles starting from cold. Test results indicate that most of the measured HC emissions occur before the catalyst has reached its `light-off` temperature.
The catalyst can be heated more rapidly by opening the exhaust valve earlier, in the power stroke. In this way less energy is converted into useful work because the expansion ratio is reduced and consequently the exhaust gases are hotter. To maintain engine speeds and torques, the amount of air/fuel mixture induced has to be correspondingly increased, and with double induction this means closing the second inlet valve earlier to trap more mixture. Therefore the rate of heating the catalyst is increased both by the higher exhaust gas temperature and the increased mass flow.
The earlier exhaust valve opening and corresponding earlier second inlet valve closing may be reduced either progressively with time or stepwise, having established experimentally how much time is needed to achieve `light-off`. If a catalyst temperature signal is available then the timings can be restored to their warmed up values as the catalyst reaches a specified temperature.
FIG. 4 illustrates part of an engine embodying the invention and including a cylinder 1 within which slides a piston 2, the cylinder being closed by a cylinder head 3 to define a combustion chamber 4 above the piston. The cylinder head contains inlet manifold branches 5A, 5B and gas flow from these into the combustion chamber is controlled by a pair of inlet valves 6, 7 controlled by respective cams 8, 9. Burnt gases from the cylinder 4 are ejected through an exhaust manifold 10 under the control of an exhaust valve 11 operated by a further cam 12. The timing of the operation of the cams and thereby the valves 6, 7, and 11 relative to each other is effected by conventional timing control means responsive to operational parameters of the engine.

Does anyone know a contact at Gulfport to lease 10 acres in Shortcreek Township? I would take other names and numbers as well.
I would like to know why, if the marcellus and utica are so big in W.V. PENN., and the other state's in that area. Then why do they all have to be so greedy that they do'nt want to share the wealth it seems they all talk about making every one the same but they sure do not seem to really want to do that. I am just asking.
Here's a summary of current releases.
The 4th qtr production numbers have been posted on the Ohio ODNR site.
In November, MarkWest Utica EMG, a joint venture between the Partnership and The Energy & Minerals Group (EMG), commenced operations of the 200 MMcf/d Cadiz II plant to support rich-gas production from Gulfport Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: GPOR). MarkWest Utica EMG also announced the development of Cadiz IV, a 200 MMcf/d processing plant to support American Energy – Utica, LLC (AEU), an affiliate of American Energy Partners, LP. The new facility is scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2016 and will increase MarkWest Utica EMG's total processing capacity in Ohio to over 1.5 Bcf/d.
In November, the Partnership and MarkWest Utica EMG announced the development of a third fractionation facility at the Hopedale complex in Harrison County, Ohio. The new 60,000 barrels per day (Bbl/d) fractionator is scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2016 and will increase total fractionation capacity for propane and heavier natural gas liquids to 283,000 Bbl/d in the Marcellus and Utica Shales.
In December, the Partnership and MarkWest Utica EMG commenced operations of a second fractionation facility at the Hopedale complex. The new facility doubled propane and heavier NGL fractionation capacity to 120,000 Bbl/d and jointly supports producers' growing natural gas liquids (NGLs) production from the Marcellus and Utica Shales. For the fourth quarter of 2014 the C3+ fractionation capacity in the Marcellus and Utica operated at 102 percent utilization.
Today, Ohio Condensate Company, L.L.C., an entity owned by MarkWest Utica EMG Condensate, L.L.C. (MarkWest Utica EMG Condensate) and Summit Midstream Partners, LLC, is announcing the commencement of its condensate stabilization facility in Harrison County, Ohio. MarkWest Utica EMG Condensate is owned by the Partnership and EMG. The new facility consists of 23,000 Bbl/d of condensate stabilization capacity and is fully integrated with a storage and logistics terminal that is operated by a third-party and serves the facility exclusively.
ok thanks for info Booger.would like to get away fromchk.anyway april 2016 cant come fast enough

hey Booger any word on spenden site?
and more yet just to the east of those........corder and collector
AEP just requested more permits in Nottingham.......just east of the RH BSA and Jones units.....must be the next move for the rig on RHBSA.

Quick Tip: Brighten Dishes with Lemon Juice
brightens a dish and makes its flavors distinct, but without actually making it taste lemony. If we didn't say anything, chances are that our guests would never know! Other acids work well too. If you don't have lemon handy, try a few shakes of white vinegar or red wine vinegar. Lime is also nice in Mexican dishes, as in our quick chicken posole recipe. The key to brightening a dish is to add the lemon juice or other acid slowly. Start off with just a teaspoon or two, taste, and then add more as needed. We usually find that there's a balancing point in the dish where the flavors suddenly pop out, but the dish can become too acidic if we go much beyond that. Do you have a favorite method for perking up a blah-tasting dish? Related: Quick Tip: Flavor Soup with Cheese Rinds (Image: Flickr member Charles Haynes licensed under Creative Commons)

Circuit diagram would be interesting.
Looks like you use 2 NE567 for IR and 2 NE555 as timer, motor forward/backward by relays. You writing you using two motors, but why you using 4 relays to switch them?
Under digital logic I would understand that you use digital logic gates like AND/OR/NOR. Maybe the transistors in the rear of you robot are connected to logic gates?

Why a relay drives the timer delay circuit?
Why a relay drives the timer delay circuit? A simple transistor would do this job as well. Save weight, relay driver transistors plus diode...Same question why relays drive the h-bridges.

RIM Acquires Paratek to Gain Mobile-Phone Radio Technology
Research In Motion Ltd., maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, said it acquired closely held Paratek Microwave Inc. to gain technology that lets handsets operate on different kinds of wireless networks.
RIM announced the purchase in a blog post today. The Waterloo, Ontario-based company didn't disclose terms.
RIM is trying to stem U.S. market-share losses to smartphones from Apple Inc. and devices that run Google Inc.'s Android operating system. RIM's share dropped to an average of 15.2 percent from 17.2 percent in the three months through January, researcher ComScore Inc. said this week.
Paratek, based in Nashua, New Hampshire, designs and makes radio-frequency technologies for mobile handsets, including miniaturized antennas that work on all communications bands. The company has engineering facilities in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and Burlington, Ontario, and has 46 employees.
John Koles, a Paratek spokesman, didn't immediately respond to a telephone call and e-mail seeking comment.

The two candidates faced-off in a civil and often substantive hourlong debate sponsored by KOAT-TV and the Albuquerque Journal, touching on immigration, gay marriage and other subjects. One of the most pointed exchanges came early when Heinrich and Wilson discussed their stances on New Mexico's energy economy.
Wilson, a former U.S. representative, described herself as "an all-of-the above energy gal" who supports oil, coal and natural gas, as well as some renewable energy sources. But she said clean energy doesn't provide enough power or enough jobs to justify heavy federal investment.
Wilson said there is a stark difference between herself and Heinrich on energy policy.
"You're pursuing this green dream," Wilson said. "You keep advocating for companies like Schott Solar or Advent Solar or Johnson Tower and Control, and touting how many jobs they're going to bring, and then they go bankrupt."
Heinrich, now in his second term in the 1st Congressional District, said the clean energy industry is already employing thousands of New Mexicans and vowed that the numbers will increase.
"Those things aren't a green dream, as my opponent likes to say, they're putting people to work right here in New Mexico today," Heinrich said. "Four times as many people — close to five times as many people —work in renewables directly today than in some of our traditional sectors like coal. We need to … be thinking about our energy future in the long term."
Wilson said she supported extending the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast, reasoning that it would create jobs. Heinrich has opposed the pipeline because of the environmental risks.
"It won't create a single job in New Mexico," Heinrich said.
The two candidates clashed over the proposed DREAM Act, which would provide children of illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. by their parents with citizenship opportunities.
Heinrich challenged Wilson take a clear position on the proposed legislation, but she neither endorsed or opposed the idea. Wilson said "real lives are at stake" and the nation should find a "permanent solution" to the question of what to do with children brought to the U.S. illegally. She also suggested any fix come as part of a comprehensive immigration bill, not as stand-alone legislation.
"We need a bipartisan solution that addresses this problem, but not just this problem," Wilson said. "Right now, you can get a visa to come to the United States based on a lottery. I think that's the wrong way to do our immigration system."
Heinrich pressed harder on the DREAM Act.
"I have a much simpler answer to this question: Yes, I support the DREAM Act," Heinrich said. "My opponent has a very long answer to this question because she won't take a position."
The two also parted ways on gay marriage.
Wilson said marriage is the "union of one man and one woman" and said she supports legislation, such as the Defense of Marriage Act, that describes marriage as such.
"Marriage deserves a special place not only in our law but in our society and culture because of the potential for children," Wilson said. "They are better off in stable two-parent family."
Heinrich said: "I just don't believe that's a viable reason for telling people they shouldn't have the same legal rights under the Constitution and the law that other people have. I support marriage equality."
Heinrich said he would support continued federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides women's health services, including abortions. Wilson said she would discontinue federal funding of Planned Parenthood.
Wilson and Heinrich are seeking the seat of retiring U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. Wilson has trailed Heinrich in the Journal Poll.

Skip to comments.'Sister Wives' family challenges Utah's polygamy law in federal court
Posted on 07/13/2011 3:27:42 PM PDT by zippythepinhead
SALT LAKE CITY Kody Brown and his four wives filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging Utah's law that criminalizes polygamy.
In filing the suit, the Browns' attorney Jonathan Turley said the family seeks to live according to its deep-seated religious beliefs and faith and not as "presumptive criminals."
"This family looks different than a lot of families in Utah. But it is their family, not your family," Turley said outside the U.S. District Courthouse.
(Excerpt) Read more at deseretnews.com ...
What do Romney's wives have to say about this?
I don't agree with polygamy, but if the states and courts can make it legal for queers to get "married" how can they prevent this? It's between consenting adults.
If you ask me, you'd have to be nuts to want more than one wife.
If marriage isn't one man, one woman, it can be anything!
I only thought he had one. Be excommunicated from the Mormon Church if he had more. Harry Reid is Mormon, maybe he is stashing some at the Mustang Ranch :P
Its a slippery slope. Gays, polygamists, marry your pet....
One wife is too much. I would say that would be the max for any sane person.
How long before "Daughter Wives" and "Child Wives" bring lawsuits?
Your mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, your horse, sheep, swingers, hillbillies, dueling banjos.......
>>What do Romneys wives have to say about this?<<
* John McCain says he is looking forward to reaching across the aisle to the other wives.
* John Boehner, upon hearing the news, cried for joy
* Arnold Schwarzenegger looked at all the rest of the wives and turned around in a thong saying "I'll be the back."
* Mitch McConnell said that he has it set up so that McCain will get the blame
* Newt Gingrich was busy telling all the other wives each were the best all the while trying to get his pillow time
That will be coming soon along with gay men marrying straight women marrying gay women marrying gay men marrying straight men and Alice.
Exactly so. The queers and libertarians deny this, but it will lead to further societal destruction.
LOL! Need to change depends!
Netherlands has apparently a Civil Unions law that allows multiple partners.
Doesn't the EPA have juristiction over endangered species?
Compliance with Islamic law regarding multiple wives~~how convenient~
All who didn't see this one coming please raise your hand.
Hands down, it was only a matter of time before all these polygamists came crawling out of the woodwork, guess they finally did. I hope the court turns them down and states that they don't deserve some special recognition for now though.
As predictable as sunrise after the gay marriage rulings. I'm sure the NAMBLA lawyers are preparing a brief as are the necrophiliacs and creeps who find sex with animals a turn-on. Pandora's Box is wide open now.
They've got their special underwear all in a bunch.
Hey, if rear admirals and carpet munchers can marry, why can't a man or woman have multiple partners? Why can't I marry my horse (?)..shoot its a lot more faithful than my first ex wife. And if I marry a gerbil, can't I get partner benefits from the government?
Its a slippery slope. Gays, polygamists, marry your pet....
We all know how slippery it is when some people say, just de-criminalize what I do and leave me alone...
The Mormons are the ones who passed the bill to make cohabitation between unwed man and woman illegal, as a means to satisfy the conditions for statehood, at least they were an overwhelming majority back then. Now, the Mormons, including the mainstream, could undo their polygamy restrictions if they really wanted to, simply because for the most part, cohabitation, which entails polygamy, is decriminalized, the state doesn't care if any given guy cohabits with who knows how many wives. I wonder why they haven't given up on polygamy because of the decriminaliztion, of the aspects around enforcing it, but then again, I guess the big mainstream Mormonism has gotten a little assimilated with the rest of us.
So, is there anything else to know about this Jonathan Turley, and his ideas, because to me he sounds like a libertarian, and the closest thing I could see to a libertarian at that.
Even better, I wonder how our predeccessor, a.k.a. Europe, is doing right now?
Probably a liberatarian in the liberal sense at least on who you can marry. I am sure gays and polys will be at the court hearings.
But he is not a Mormon. He is something else, maybe pluralist Baptist.
No kids are being propogated enough by the natives, and the Mid East immigrants are multiplying like rabbits. Can you say Caliphate by multiplication?
Even if the mainstream Mormons could practice polygamy legally, they probably wouldn't go back to the 19th century. We have spent more time as a monogamous faith than we did in polygamy. I don't ever see the LDS Church reversing course. But you make a good point. Why can't polygamists of whatever ilk do so without persecution? Maybe the Welfare Wives phenomenon.

Well the two of your creed which I met in person had no problem with playing video games, eating some fast food, and playing around with modern tech like computers and programming with them, heck, even you are an example of the last statment right there by responding to me.
Again, culturally, it's probably weeded out by the way plenty of the kind have grown up. That's probably the biggest weapon against modern polygamy... assimilation into pop culture. But then again, I do believe that people should be responsible for their own issues. Make sure the state doesn't subsidize polygamy in any way, sort of like illicit drugs.
As a side note, polygamy is way less common in the Middle East than it was in the era of the Ottoman Empire, suggesting more to my hypothesis that modernization and wealth play a role in diminishing it.
No kids are being propogated enough by the natives, and the Mid East immigrants are multiplying like rabbits. Can you say Caliphate by multiplication?
It's more like our own immigration phonomena on steroids. People move in, don't really have to make a record with the government, don't have to assimilate into society, and so on.
Oh! What a surprise! Who could have foreseen this??

Warming Up with Fair To Midland
If you conduct a Wikipedia search for "Fair to Midland," you find…well, the facts. Just the facts. And, in your wee hours of MySpace music hunting, you find that Fair to Midland is a band. A "Progressive / Folk / Metal" band with 38,812 fans, a partiality to swamp-pants and a handful of cryptic, chromatically de-saturated videos to visually narrate its sepulchral lyrics.
If you research further, here, in this verbal writhing, you discover that Fair to Midland, a Dallas heavy rock unit, is a genuine collaborative-creative-success story …and for most "bands" attempting to stake their flagpole in the music industry moon rock, that's a pretty big deal.
After eight years of grinding the axe in efforts to actualize the collective dream of rockin' the fuck out, Fair to Midland recently consummated its rock 'n roll fantasy by signing to Universal Republic records via the personal enamor of System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian to release the LP Fables From a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times Is True. The combination of diligence, a brutal touring schedule (including a 2007 Coachella appearance) and the metaphorical lubing of the industry bigwigs has created quite the vertiginous woo for one of Dallas' most commercially successful seedlings.
Driven not by intimate brethren, but, rather, a loyalty of proximity, these five North Texan musicians have found a way to maintain their musical stamina and bring their vehemently sweet metal anthems to fanatics worldwide.

So, cheers to you, Fair to Midland. Despite the esoteric nature of their rugged sound, the band has found a way to continue its grassroots efforts to gain acceptance not only form the honchos with the money, but its hometown patrons. Making a sweet yuletide homecoming at the House of Blues on December 26, we checked in with the humble lead singer Darroh Sudderth to evaluate Fair to Midland's 'holidaze' state of being; a state of blessings and gratitude. Hallelujah. (Q&A after the jump.)
How long have you guys been on tour this time around?
In the last year, grand total, we've probably been on tour 11 months, and, probably, been off a grand total of, maybe, one.
Are you tired yet?
A little bit. But it beats the 9-to-5 lifestyle and we're very blessed to do this and this be our jobs. So we're milking it for everything we can.
…We do everything we can to hold on to the dream. Job security is not common in this industry .
You're right, it's all very ephemeral and nothing is guaranteed, so it's challenging. So, you have a lot o gratitude for where you guys are at right now, yes?
Oh, absolutely. We're extremely fortunate to be where we're at and we just hope to stay here.
Can you tell me a little bit about the relationship between you and the other band members?
We all respect each other enough to give each other space and we all from small towns in northeast Texas and got together out of necessity because there were no other musicians in the area that were interested in playing something that was more rock driven.
Tell me about your appearance at Coachella and how it has affected the band.
It was great to be such a part of an eclectic bill like that. I mean, we are a hard rock band and that being the case, a lot of people will, right off the bat, put you into a meathead category. It's hard to get a sort of credibility in this genre being a harder rock band. It's really hard to get accepted… and to be a part of a show like Coachella did that for us to some extent.
So with this recent success, has the past year been a whirlwind?
It hasn't been so much of a whirlwind. In many ways we are still struggling to make a name for ourselves just on a larger scale and with us being such an acquired taste, left of center, it takes a little longer for people to warm up to us and it's going to take a little longer for us to break. -- Krissi Reeves
