I am an independent, self-employed sub contractor. My profession
This answer was rated:
I am an independent, self-employed sub contractor. My profession is construction inspection. I live and practice in California. The contractor I subcontract to is trying to force me to discard my email address that i have used for 12 years and switch to an email address that represents his business domain name. He has hinted that he will 'weed out those that have cancerous attitudes', that is those that he feels are not being 'team players'. I have been in the construction industry all my life and have worked my way up the ladder and have built a reputation connected with my name and my domain name. As a subcontractor our contract states that I am independent and that the contractor pays no taxes etc that would be associated with an employee. It is the norm for OSHPD (office of statewide health planning and development) IOR's (Inspector of Record) to be awarded a contract and then subcontract out for IOR's as needed. I guess my question is, if the Contractor fires me because i do not use his domain email address, what are my legal avenues?

California law is
hostile to the concept of independent contractor. Nearly every person who claims to be an independent contractor, or who claims to be hiring another person as an independent contractor -- if the work relationship is brought to the attention of the Employment Development Department (EDD), is ultimately determined to be an employee/employer. And, once the EDD determines that a worker is an employee -- the
government agency that makes the same determination is Uncle Sam (IRS).
The reason why I am starting with this explanation is because, as a true independent contractor, you have no leverage against a contracting party who discharges you from service for failing to follow instructions.
However, if the contracting party thinks that you may decide to challenge that party's relationship with you, and if that person knows that the fines that accrue are
(could easily run $100,000 or more), maybe he/she will back off. Because you could make that claim even after you are fired. All you would have to do is file for unemployment insurance benefits.
The one thing that you do not want to do is threaten to contact EDD and the IRS unless you get what you want, because that is criminal extortion. However, it is not extortion to suggest that your relationship may be an employment relationship, and that even if it is not, by your having to use the contracting party's domain, that could throw your relationship over the line into an employment relationship, regardless of any contract between you to the contrary, and the result could be extremely bad for the contracting party.
If you want to see if you really are close to or in an employment relationship, you may want to check out EDD form
. Just work through the questions, and try to be as objective as possible. I think you may see that it doesn't take much to be found to be an employee, rather than an independent contractor.
Please let me know if I can clarify or assist you further.

Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX very informative and helpful. But.. lets say I tell the contractor that as an independent subcontractor i will be using my existing email address and he then fires me, is my only recourse filing for unemployment? This is a 10 month contract I have and i am looking to loose $120K in income. And if I sue, I would probably never work in the industry again as I would be blacklisted by both owners and contractors.
replied 4 years ago.
There are a lot of components to a lawsuit proving misclassified worker status. The most famous case is called
Vicaino v. Microsoft Corp.
, wherein the federal courts determined that a throng of 1099-Misc workers were all employees, and Microsoft eventually settled for $97 million dollars.
Legally, in California, if you were found to be a misclassified employee, and you are terminated, then you could demand reinstatement and lost wages. You could also demand to be reimbursed for any retirement and health care not previously provided. And, once reinstated, a future termination could be viewed as retaliation, which would create a brand-new lawsuit. So, in some ways, you become impossible to fire, once you win this sort of lawsuit, and so the employer will usually try to pay you a bunch of money to go away quietly.
When an employment rights lawyer is presented with one of these claims, he/she will try to find the biggest payout possible. You could be owed a small fortune in overtime right now, even though your contract was not original for an hourly wage. There are all sorts of twists and turns. However, there is also no doubt that it is possible for the current contracting party to spread the news that you are "bad business," and even though that type of "blacklisting" is illegal in California, it doesn't help much when you're trying to find work -- and you have a difficult case to prove.
So, the answer here is "no," you may have several other claims against the putative employer, in addition to an unemployment claim.
The alternative, of course, is to agree to the employer's demand to use the domain address, and then wait a while and then have a lawyer threaten to sue unless the employer treats you as an employee. At that point, you are once again in the category of "impossible to fire." But, there is a risk, and you have to be prepared to suffer the risk, no matter which way you go -- other than to simply submit to the employer's demands, no matter how unlawful they may be.
One other thing that you can do is to file a
with EDD. This can be done anonymously. Then if EDD determines that you and others are employees, your employer will be forced to hire all of you, and it will never know who actually made the report. There's no big payday in this option, but if you're going to be treated like an employee, then you may as well get the benefits.
Hope this helps.

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

The Magic of Iroquois Beadwork
In 1903, my grandmother went to the Afton Fair, a small agricultural fair in central New York State.

It was a pink satin beaded bird-shaped pincushion with the year 1903 beaded under the tail. (Figure 1.)

Michelle (Donecho) Duchesne '05, M.A. '10 and Chris Duchesne '06 welcomed their first child, Elizabeth "Betsy" Lee Duchesne on March 23, 2016.
Andrea Borgen '10 was named a 2016 Young Gun by Eater magazine for being a young talent and trailblazer in the food and restaurant industry. Barcito is a 100-seat Argentinian-style, small-plates restaurant in downtown Los Angeles with a no-tipping policy.
Borgen opened Barcito last year as a homage to her Argentinian heritage — her mother was born in the South American country and she visits both of her grandparents there regularly. "We're not trying to recreate traditional Argentine cuisine," she says, adding that a more authentically minded establishment would grill a short rib rather than braise it like her kitchen does. But, as Borgen says, "what always appealed to me about bars and cafes in Buenos Aires is the cultural meaning that they have. Those classic corner bars are pillars of their communities." That's what Barcito is all about.
Part of being a community pillar, of course, is being a responsible employer. Dishwashers at Barcito make at least $11 an hour while cooks make at least $14. All her employees also receive health care, even though the size of her staff (currently 12) means she isn't required to by law. Borgen says she's able to do this due to her no-tipping policy, and if you want to understand why this is such a big deal, you need to know a little bit about labor law in California.
The state minimum wage is rising to $15 per hour by 2022 —€" and at an even faster pace in LA. Making that burden more challenging is the fact that, unlike in most states, California doesn't have a separate, lower wage for service employees, which means owners must pay waiters the full minimum, even if they earn tips. Obviously that's super expensive for owners, who have to pay more money to more people (duh), but what's less obvious is that it exacerbates the income disparity between waiters, who often do well for themselves because they can collect tips, and cooks, who often earn less because they cannot.
So to combat that disparity, more restaurateurs in Los Angeles are levying "mandatory tips" in the form of service or admin charges, which can be distributed throughout the house as the restaurant sees fit. On top of those charges, Los Angeles and San Francisco restaurants sometimes issue separate surcharges to offset the cost of providing health care, as well as additional lines on the check for optional, additional gratuity. This all means that the price on the menu is often much lower than what the diner ends up paying, and Borgen doesn't think it's a fair deal for consumers.
"It feels ludicrous," Borgen says of the health care charge. So she's taken a more challenging course of action: She's raised wages throughout her restaurant by baking the full cost of doing business — including health care and service — into the price of her a la carte items, so that whatever the diner sees on the menu is what the diner pays. Tipping is not accepted. This Danny Meyer-style "hospitality included" policy is increasingly normal in New York, where supplementary fees are illegal, but in California, it's quite rare, because it lets restaurants keep their prices artificially low.
"At the core, what's most important to me is the idea that a restaurant is a pillar of the community."

Xiaoyun Yang M.S. '15 works in the operations department at Apple in Silicon Valley. She attributes her success to her studies at the Leavey School of Business. "I had a chance to dive into the finance world," Yang says, "learning about different subjects from good professors. The courses were very practical. They pushed you to your limits, taking a theory and trying to apply it practically. In most courses you had to complete a project, which meant rolling up your sleeves and working with team members. It challenged your analytical skills and people skills, and for an international student like me, it was a good transition to the American business world."
Also helping with that transition, she says, was the significant degree of career counseling and support from the University's career office. "You really got a taste of what you need to do to get hired in your field. The career counselors did things like setting up career panels, teaching you how to use Linkedin, and showing how to prepare for a job interview."
The MS Finance program, Yang says, "really prepared me in terms of speaking, presentation, communication, and understanding what's happening in the business world. But what I really treasure most about it was the people I met — the professors and outstanding students. They were great people who helped me become better."

"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

Cats compete in regional cat show
Waukesha's Exposition Center housed the Great Lakes Regional Cat Show this weekend, presented by Wisconsin-Illinois Cat Fanciers. Nearly 200 cats entered the circus-themed competition, all hoping to rank "best" in their respective breed category.
The event was open to the public but came at a price - no attendees could play or pet the cats. The animals are judged against predetermined breed standards and grooming and many hold international titles. »Read Full Article
A Day for Detroit: U.S. critics celebrate an imperiled art collection
People do not give works of art to museums. Donors of great works of art give their treasurers to the cities they love, to the school children on yellow buses, the couples on dates, the artists and would-be artists, the seniors on a Sunday afternoon.
In a very real sense, the art in our museums belongs to us. It is a public trust. This simple truth is at the core of a foundational ethic within the museum world that prohibits museums from selling works of art to pay off debts. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

Just 11 days until Eric Church rolls into town for 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 at the Times Union Center.
Just 11 days until Eric Church rolls into town for 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 at the Times Union Center.
Joe Nichols who is one of the best traditional voices in country music will be bringing his many hits to 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 on July 7th at the Times Union Center.
Question: Which 2012 WGNA Countryfest singer admits to discovering a love of whiskey and the music of Merle Haggard at the age of 13?
Joe Nichols is a great country singer and now he's a dad too. One thing he's never shied away from is a good party and he has relayed that message through a lot of his great songs that he will crank up for you at 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012. I have picked up on a pattern with Joe's music. Naked is good! LOL
Countryfest 2012 is coming with Eric Church, Joe Nichols, Thompson Square and Josh Thompson. It's going to be a blast and we'll have a free Countryfest street party on 2 big blocks of Pearl Street beginning at noon.
July 7th will be rocking in Albany with Countryfest 2012 and Superstar headliner Eric Church. Eric will be joined on the big stage at the Times Union Center by Joe Nichols, Thompson Square, and Josh Thompson too.
Eric Church is pure energy and that's why his fans love to see him live. We will all get to see him at 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 on July 7th at the TU Center with Joe Nichols, Josh Thompson and Thompson Square.
Joe Nichols loves to play fun party music. He also has sold a lot of tequila over the years through his music. He will be bringing the party to 1077 'GNA's Countryfest on July 7th at the TU Center with Superstar headliner Eric Church, Thompson Square and Josh Thompson.
People resist change. It's just our way and I totally get it. I cried when the Yankees left old Yankee Stadium for the new one. Even though they really needed to. So I get it when people were a little freaked by Countryfest moving to the Times Union Center after being outside for so long. So I decided to go over to the Times Union Center and show you a few reasons why this could be a good thing.
Joe Nichols is hands down one of the best performers I've ever seen live! When he was at our "WGNA Winter Concert" he was fighting a cold that I can tell you would of sidelined many, but Joe took the stage and the sniffling and coughing mess I saw backstage was replaced by a smiling and confident Joe Nichols.
Today was the big announcement for CountryFest 2012 and I gotta tell ya, Ol' Scottie B is pumped up and psyched about it.
Joe Nichols and wife Heather are expecting a baby this spring and shared the happy news with People.com.

Bill Duncan, a retired Marine colonel who specialized in counter-terrorism and terrorism functions, said he thinks the special operations forces in Afghanistan will be successful against the Taliban.
John Arick, a retired Marine Corps brigadier general and president and chief operating officer at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch and Affiliates, agrees. He was involved in special operations from 1966-1970 during the Vietnam War.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that the military portion of America's response will rely heavily on special operations forces. Special operations use clandestine and unconventional warfare tactics. U.S. special forces open a significant and dangerous new phase of the assault against the Taliban and terrorists.
Duncan said coalition forces will work to destroy the confidence of Taliban forces by cutting off commodities such as gas and electrical power and destroying the transportation infrastructure in an effort to slow them down and force their demise. Eventually, more Taliban troops will move toward fighting with the northern forces because they will want a way to fight for and serve Allah, he said.
Arick said he was a helicopter pilot who inserted special forces teams in Vietnam. He said special operations have the training to fight in caves and hills and "could very easily play a pivotal role" in the war.
Radio broadcast warnings, sophisticated technology such as missile systems and special operations' intelligence will spell doom for the Taliban, Duncan said.
"All of that strips the confidence of people," Duncan said.
"We also will depend heavily on the foot soldier to go in there and ferret out the bad guys and defeat them on the ground," Arick said. "I think there will be a lot of old-fashioned close combat. I suspect there already has been."
Duncan said the United States has special operations forces "who speak the language, look the part, can get around on the ground and work without an interpreter." And unlike the Soviets, who fought a 10-year war and lost in Afghanistan, U.S. special operations forces are better-trained and have better technology to help them.
He said the military action is not targeting the Afghan people.
"We want to bring the Taliban government to their knees," he said.
Duncan said he expects the war to last until winter, when the Taliban forces will have to live off winter rations and find themselves "cold, wet and hungry." He said he expects to see some major movement by Thanksgiving, such as the Taliban turning over people to coalition forces. He expects to see a movement toward not just capturing Osama bin Laden and terrorist forces but also an overture to bring down Saddam Hussein.
The Soviets lost their war in Afghanistan partly because they fought on terms acceptable to the Afghans, Duncan said. The Soviets used helicopters to fight the Afghans, who used missile systems to destroy hundreds of helicopters, Duncan said.
"That's when the Soviets started losing heart," he said.
Arick said the military and government don't want to reveal some secrets and show their hand, so to speak, but they would like to "tell us as much as they can, and they will want to do that." The purpose of keeping some information secret is to be prepared to win the next war, he said.

Skip to comments.Iraq marshes(Biblical Eden) can be partially restored
Posted on 02/21/2005 7:04:50 AM PST by Alex Marko
The fabled marshes of Mesopotamia, largely destroyed by Saddam Hussein in one of the worst pieces of ecological vandalism in recent history, can be partially restored, scientists said on Sunday.
The first scientific assessment of the marshes in southern Iraq, al considered by some to have been the Biblical location of the Garden of Eden, was presented to the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington.
Saddam's drainage programme - accompanied by the persecution and forced relocation of the Marsh Arabs who had lived there for 5,000 years - reduced the wetlands to 7 per cent of their original 20,000 sq km area. But some of the former marshland is already recovering, following the actions of local people who broke down Saddam's dikes and dams after his regime fell in 2003.
The study by US, Canadian and Iraqi scientists showed a surprising rapid return of plants and wildlife to the areas that have been reflooded by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. "The quality of the river water turns out to be much higher than many people had expected," said Curtis Richardson of Duke University in North Carolina, the study leader.
"Immediately after [the overthrow of Saddam] we saw just a dozen birds in the marshes," Prof Richardson said. "A year later, there were hundreds and now they are talking about many thousands."
The marshes were once an important resting point for waterfowl migrating between Siberia and Africa. The local otter species, which survived in the small area of the marshes along the Iranian border that were not drained, is also making a come-back.
Barry Warner, a botanist at the University of Waterloo in Canada, said: "There are encouraging signs that a vibrant and healthy plant community will re-establish itself in the newly wetted areas."
Because the marshes were drained only recently - mainly during the 1990s as Saddam took revenge on the Shia Marsh Arabs for their failed insurrection after the first Gulf War - many desiccated areas retain a large and viable seedbed.
But the scientists said a sustained international effort would be needed to support Iraqis' efforts to turn the current ad-hoc flooding into a sustainable long-term revival. Peter Reiss, director of the US Agency for International Development's marshland restoration project, said: "Within Iraq the destruction of the marshes has become a symbol of the oppression by Saddam's regime."
Most Iraqis support restoration, but there is no consensus about how much of the marshes to restore permanently given the competing demands for scarce water. Prof Richardson said 30 per cent would be a reasonable target.
Plans by Turkey and Iran to take more water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers also pose a long-term threat to marshland restoration.
Even the Marsh Arabs have somewhat ambivalent attitudes about restoration of the wetlands. Their population, estimated at 350,000 in 1950, is now little more than 100,000, none of whom are living in their original homes, Mr Reiss said. Their traditional way of life, documented by Wilfred Thesiger, Gavin Maxwell and other authors, was based on fishing, water buffalo herding and reed cutting. This is virtually extinct today and most of the remaining Marsh Arabs are impoverished sedentary farmers. But according to Mr Reiss, many of them feel it will be impossible to recreate their way of life and would prefer outside investment in conventional agriculture.
If Iraq was once a part of the Garden of Eden, then the place has sure gone to hell in a handbasket....
I hope this is possible.
Where are the "Greenies"? How did they allow this to happen? They need to get in there and fix the problem!! I am sure the "insurgents" will quake in their boots when the "Greenies" appear.
environmental nuts = lefty democrats or greens, thus oppose Bush for the sake of it and support all that are opposed by Bush.
Bush, evil anti-environment CONSERVATIVE, saves the marshes. I wonder if you'll find this article on DU?
Maybe we could plant a new tree of knowledge of good and evil.
> Maybe we could plant a new tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Oooh! Ooooh!! Can we then berate anyone who learns from it?
>considered by some to have been the Biblical location of the Garden of Eden
I have a question about this that has always bugged me. For the sake of arguement, assume that the whole Eden/Noah/Moses/etc. storyline is Absolute Fact. Well... if Noah floated around for, what, a year or more on a flooded Earth, what are the chances that he would land anywhere near where he started off? Could not Eden just as easily have been Newark?
A restored marshland would be one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Ecotourists would love it, and it could be a model for similar projects the world over.
I wonder how the world's various Green Parties would feel about the liberation of Iraq if this happened?
That would presume that the environmental nuts actually CARED about the environment.
They don't let facts don't get in their way. It would be too confusing for their drug addled, extreme leftist brains.
You guys are ON to something here..........
In the summer here, we say that it's sort of like Hell must be...barren, dusty and hot as....well, Hell.
The area from The mouth of the Euphrates to Damascus to the Jordan River valley used to be called the fertile crescent until the poor farming practices of the natives combined with the resurgence of Arab pastoral practices after the Islamic conquests deforested the land, drying it up and making it into a desert. If you have ever seen photos of Israel when it was part of the Ottoman Empire before extensive Jewish immigration you will see how much of a craphole the place was. Now after years of reforestation and modern farming practices, that area is in much better shape.
They don't care about the environment; they care about leftism.
It's biblical!
> The question is impossible to answer, because no information is available about prevailing ocean currents during the flood.
Ah, but there's a problem. If the account is literal fact, then the Creationists would be right and the topography of the world was altered drastically... the Grand Canyon was carved, the continents and mountains raised, the seabeds sunk, etc. There's nothing sedate about this. The Ark woulda got blowed all over hell and gone.
If you change "Moses" to "Noah" I agree with your post. :o)
Scientist-speak for "we need grant money".
As big of an environment wrecker as Saddam was you'd think the Greenies would have marched on Baghdad themselves but I guess hating America comes first. Should I wait for them to thank President Bush for saving the marshes?
(That explains the sarcasm/cynicism of your first post).
Just like leftists don't really care about human rights. Otherwise they would have been on the bandwagon to liberate the brutally oppressed Iraqis, and not be living in a land of make believe where they say the Iraqis were peacefully flying kites until the bad old American soldiers came and killed them.........
They don't care a thing about anything but power and leftist extremist ideology.
Well, a lot of archaeological evidence shows that the Bible was reasonably accurate. We know that modern western civilization got its start in that region (I regard Genesis as describing the beginnings of modern man, the end of a very long process) and many cultures from the region describe a cataclysmic flood that covered the entire world known to the people there.
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold...13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Can't say as I can tell whether the garden was at the top or bottom of the Tigris/Euphrates system but, according to scripture, this is why Eden was not in Jersey.
I doubt the Garden was that confined. There were rivers running through it and all sorts of animals for Adam to name. It's a tribute to Man's basic flaws that Adam hung around the one tree, in the one area where he could get into trouble...
> as a typical anti-Creationist, you ignore the power of the Creator to do as He wills.
Hardly. I do not ignore the power of the Cretor to create the world over a dozen billion years of stellar evolution and to create the diversity of life on Earth via evolution.
It just seems odd that God seems to favor one small, geologically and ecologically unimpressive region of the world over all others...
Especially given that THE BIBLE speaks of such rivers being dried up in the end times. . . . that the KING OF THE EAST have an easier time invading toward Israel.
stay tuned . . .
> The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
OK, fair enough. However, two things:
1: How certain are you that these are the *same* rivers, and not just re-named new ones? (Note that there is a Cairo in Illinois, a Memphis in Tennessee, a Moscow in Idaho, and several Paris' across the States.)
2: And if they *are* the same rivers, that pretty much blows the whole "the Earth was remade by the flood" arguement.
> rivers being dried up ... easier time invading toward Israel.
Rivers do not present obstacles to invasions anymore. There are these things called "airplanes..."
But, the Bible suggests they'll be riding on horses.
> the Bible suggests they'll be riding on horses.
Well, good luck with that. I bet the IDF will have a fun time taking on horse-mounted cavalry with Apaches, F-16's and Merkavas.
Admittedly, Scripture is silent so, no, I cannot be certain. You have me there.
2: And if they *are* the same rivers, that pretty much blows the whole "the Earth was remade by the flood" arguement.
What is remade? If the Colorado river in Arizona was once a babbling brook through verdant pastures and some 'event' turned it into what it is now, then I would say it has been remade, yet it is still the Colorado. (No that example isn't based on anyone's theories...it just works).
Well I don't know if the Garden of Eden was in Iraq, but if it was the place went into Babylon = confusion, since those days.
Restoring "Eden" is a noble and laudable goal, and a very intriguing one at that. Thanks for posting this!
I'm sure God knew about airplanes way back when he dictated those words.
I don't presume to understand their full meaning.
But, hey, !IF! you care to presume greater knowledge than God, He's likely to let you get away with such a presumption . . . for a while.
> If the Colorado river in Arizona was once a babbling brook through verdant pastures and some 'event' turned it into what it is now, then I would say it has been remade, yet it is still the Colorado.
Well, according to the "all the water was suspended in the sky"-type Creationists, the Earth was remarkably flat prior to the flood. Also, the Grand Canyon was carved out by the flood. As a consequence, there would have been no particluar reason or even *ability* for there to be a Colorado river of any description prior to the flood. It would have been a flat, verdant plain; any creek or stream in the area would have been wholly unrelated to the Colorado that results from the Flood tearing the Earth up and forming the mountains.
Similarly, had there been Tigris/Euphrates rivers prior to the FLood, they, too would have been unrelated to rivers post-flood, since the source and sink for the rivers woudl have been entirely different.
This is, of course, idle fantastical specualtion.
There are certainly plenty of references indicating God does precisely that.
But, what I'm curious about and find much more odd . . . just when did you become big enough to tell God HE can't or oughten to do that? He'd likely be up for a good chuckle to but He already knows.
LOVE your tag!
> just when did you become big enough to tell God HE can't or oughten to do that?
Just when did you become big enough to tell other people not to question things?
What that location has going for it is that its near the city of Ur(religious importance need not even be explained)
That's a pretty big leap of illogic!
I think the attitude of the heart is rather important when it comes to questioning things God has said.
And, I haven't found the attitude of the heart to be that great amongst those who seem most at odds with; most cheeky in wording about; most skeptical about the things God has said. But then, they don't seem that intimate with God's heart, either, so I guess it figures.
As to what the attitude of your heart is--God knows. But from the available evidence, I wouldn't want to bet the farm on it.

Pair who followed band face drug charges in NJJuly 18,2013FREEHOLD, N.J. — Two men who authorities say followed the band Furthur are facing drug charges in New Jersey.
Police arrested 31-year-old Adam Sacks of Mount Holly, and 21-year-old Kyle Lewis of Catskill, N.Y., after searching their motel room in Tinton Falls.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says officers found a large quantity of methamphetamine, LSD, marijuana and hashish oil. Police also confiscated more than $51,000, which prosecutors suspect were proceeds of drug sales.
The men had tickets for performances of Furthur at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel in addition to several other shows by that group that mainly performs Grateful Dead songs.
Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says he won't tolerate traveling drug dealers who want to follow a band.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

I think you might be feeling that way because you're filippino. To be fair anytime a top pound for pound fighter doesn't deliver a dominating performance, BS gets filled with a slew of hate threads. I've seen it happen with black fighters, Mexican fighters, Puerto Rican fighters, ect...
As far as Nonito, the guy is a warrior. He won against a pretty good fighter at 122 and did it with a jacked up hand. I'd like to see a few more fights at 122 to see if he's as effective as I think he could be, but for this fight you have to take the hand into consideration.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Tejano star Emilio was released from Bexar County Jail on Sunday after being arrested early that morning in a domestic dispute at a San Antonio motel.
Emilio, whose full name is Emilio Navaira, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend, 22-year-old Maria Elena Ibarra of Mexico, and resisting arrest. Navaira was released after paying a $1,850 bond.
Police went to a north San Antonio motel after a clerk called to report that Navaira, 37, and Ibarra were arguing in the lobby.
According to a police report, Ibarra said she and Navaira had been drinking at a bar and later returned to their motel room. She told police that after an argument, Navaira kicked her small black dog and threw a set of keys at her.
Ibarra told police she was afraid of Navaira because he had physically abused her throughout their two-year relationship. She said she accompanied him on concert tours.
Police records state that during his arrest, Navaira asked officers, "What's with San Antonio? You picking the immigrant over me?"
Alan Baxter, a manager for Navaira, declined comment Sunday night.
Navaira's last arrest was in 1995 after an alleged scuffle with a police officer at a San Antonio club. Back then, Navaira called the incident "a misunderstanding." Charges of resisting arrest later were dropped.
In October, Navaira filed for a divorce from Cindy Navaira, his wife of 12 years.
Navaira has been honored 24 times by the Tejano Music Awards and was nominated for a Grammy for his album "Emilio & Band."

Skip to comments.Perry vs.Palin Straight up (GretaWire Online Poll)
Posted on 07/19/2011 7:32:24 PM PDT by Ocarterma
Who has a better chance of winning the Republican nomination?
(Excerpt) Read more at gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com ...
Sarah 62.53%
There is no possible way that Palin could win. She doesn't have the full support from the base.
I love her, follow her and admire her but there is no way I want her to run for President.
Straight up? Together that would be one strong drink, FRiend :)
Palin / West, 2012
Was there really any doubt?
I agree. Palin may have a shot at the nomination, but if our side really wants to beat Obully, Perry's got to be the nominee.
No candidate running or considering running has the full support of the base. The dems have us just where they want us - at each other's throats.
62.8% for Sarahcuda when I voted.
And you can vote as many times as you like.
Sort of kills all this speculation by armchair quarterbacks, doesn't it?
[I love her, follow her and admire her but there is no way I want her to run for President.]
Thanks for you input. Remind me to put it in my important file 13 bin.
Exactly, as a matter of fact, if you leave the page and then return to see the results, you have to vote again.
Palin has a better chance of winning the nomination. Perry has a better chance of winning the Presidency.
36.86% Perry
Almost 2 to 1. Gitz you sum, 'Cuda.
Either order get my fraud cancelled vote.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
>>Perry vs.Palin Straight up<<
I prefer mine on the rocks with a twist...
>> Perry has a better chance of winning the Presidency.
What's your take on my next bowel movement, soothsayer?
Yah... makes sense to me, too. They'll vote to make her the candidate, but never to win the election.
Tough to say. You sound pretty constipated to me.
Not enough cross-over appeal for Palin right now. Maybe in a few years there will be.
Are you one of the women that would never vote for Sarah Palin because she's better looking than you and she can field dress a moose?
Total Votes: 2,825
I respectfully disagree... .Palin / Perry 2012 !
We have to have a President that will go for the throat versus work on her re-election.
Just my opinion.
Stay Safe !
(hi there P-M)
After one speech she put McLame ahead in the polls.
Perry doesn't have the kind of grassroots support, That Palin has.
No matter how badly we want to get rid of Obama, I don't see people crawling over broken glass, barbed wired, with coals aflame underneath to vote for him. Should he be the nominee, it'll be another hold your nose vote, for many Palin supporters, without much energy.
And you don't think that the Dems and the MSM will pull out all of the stops, calling him BUSH III, whether true or not, his marital problems and GOD only knows what's hiding in his closet, to re-elect Obama?
At least with Palin and ONLY Palin, there isn't anything new that they can smear her with and have stick. Plus, her supporters are rock ribbed strong.
It's now or never for Palin and I doubt that she'd accept another VEEP role.
That was then, this is now. She's been vilified so much since then that there's a much more difficult mountain to climb to get the average MSM duped voter to give her a second chance. I just don't think her image has been rehabilitated enough yet.
That doesn't work. It lets you keep voting but doesn't count them.
It lets you keep voting but doesn't count them.
I cant vote for either unless they become candidates, which is when I will consider them.
Won't know if she doesn't run. She should run don't you think? We should have all of them out there to give all supporters a chance to decide don't you agree?
Eve if they didn't win that's the best hair ticket in America!!!!
She earns it while running. If she runs she wins it all.
The Bachmanites will all vote for Perry
Palin could do as well as Reagan.
Perry could do as well as Bush.
Palin is popular in states that traditionally go Dem - specifically the Upper Midwest.
I don't think Perry is popular anywhere but strongly Republican states in the south.
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi.
Any Republican would win those states. Palin would win those, Perry would win those. Ron Paul would win those. Any Republicans would win those states. Palin is popular in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. Ron Paul is as well. Perry is not.
We've had Bushes so long that we forget that the Bush/Perry style was specifically created to win with a minimum number of EVs.
A Palin / Paul ticket could pick up all 8 of those Upper Midwest states and the already Republican South.
Perry only wins the South.
Well, if they win by a hair, at least we'll know why! :o)
1980 was my first Presidential election. The Iranian hostage crisis was as big of a factor in taking Carter down as the economy was. It led the evening news every night.
Reagan did have to contend with negative press, but it was never as relentlessly bad as what's been dumped on Sarah.

Pussycat Dolls and Eminem retained their No. 1 positions on the U.K. sales charts published yesterday (Dec. 11), while Sugababes and the Strokes scored substantial new hit singles.
Pussycat Dolls and Eminem retained their No. 1 positions on the U.K. sales charts published yesterday (Dec. 11), while Sugababes and the Strokes scored substantial new hit singles.
The Dolls' "Stickwitu" (A&M) started a second week as Britain's favorite single, with Madonna's "Hung Up" (Warner Bros.) rebounding 3-2 behind it. Sugababes' "Ugly" (Universal Island), the latest release from the female trio's "Taller in More Ways" album, came in at No. 3. In addition, the album, now in its ninth chart week, made a big improvement, climbing 21-8.
The Strokes' "Juicebox" (Rough Trade) opened at No. 5, followed by the club crossover "Listen to Your Heart" (Ministry Of Sound) by DHT featuring Edmee (based on Roxette's 1990 top 10 U.K. hit), at No. 7. Another club single, "I Just Can't Get Enough" (All Around the World) by Herd & Fitz featuring Abigail Bailey, started at No. 11.
Franz Ferdinand's "Walk Away" (Domino), the second single from the Scottish band's sophomore album "You Could Have It So Much Better," debuted at No. 13, while Welsh pop vocalist Charlotte Church arrived in at No. 17 with "Even God Can't Change the Past" (Sony BMG).
Eminem's "Curtain Call - The Hits" (Interscope), already double platinum with U.K. shipments of 600,000 copies, continued at No. 1 in its first full sales week, after debuting at the top on two days' sales on the previous chart. It also moves 2-1 in the "combined" chart (which incorporates sales of multi-artist compilations excluded from the individual artist survey), replacing "Now That's What I Call Music! 60" (EMI/Virgin/Universal) at the top.
Robbie Williams' "Intensive Care" (Chrysalis) holds at No. 2 on the artist chart in its seventh week, while Westlife's "Face to Face" (S/Sony BMG) rebounds 5-3. At No. 11, the week's highest new entry is Girls Aloud's "Chemistry" (Polydor), the only debut in the top 40. A year ago, the female pop act's second album, "What Will the Neighbours Say" reached No. 6.
Madonna continues to have things her way on Billboard's pan-European sales charts, with a third week at No. 1 on the European Top 100 Albums chart for "Confessions on a Dance Floor" and a fourth on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles survey for "Hung Up."

Welcome to Thompsons Auctioneers, our sales are held every Friday, starting at 11.30 am in our saleroom, where we average around 800 to 1000 lots, with the sale completing around 3.30pm on a Friday afternoon.
Please explore the rest of this site where you will find information on selling, buying, valuations, collections & deliveries, or just attending one of our sales.
All our Friday sales are split into categories of large and small items. We constantly receive a new weekly stock of small antique jewellery, including rings, bracelets, brooches, necklaces and watches. Everything can be bought and sold at Thompson's, from coins and collectables, to brooches and bicycles, up to wicker baskets and wardrobes. It's all here!
