Skip to comments.Rep. Steve King to sue Obama administration over new immigration policy
Posted on 06/15/2012 12:17:58 PM PDT by ColdOne
owa Republican Rep. Steve King said Friday that he plans to sue the Obama administration to halt implementation of its newly announced selective illegal immigration law enforcement policy. He told Mike Huckabee on the former Arkansas governors radio program Friday that he successfully sued his own states governor and won over a similar separation-of-powers issue.
I will tell you that Im not without experience on this Im prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy, King said
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Keep up the pressure, folks. Contact your Representatives!
This CAN NOT STAND!
Now if we can just get Hannity to stop calling it Amnesty ~ which implies some sort of use of the Presidential pardoning power. We don't want that ~ this is just parole ~ already authorized by law.
A republican congresman with a spine...happily surprised.
He not only needs to sue, but bring the king and his administration up on charges of treason and not upholding his oath.
Excellent. This man has gonads!
Part time jobs were my key to getting through and paying for college.
Barry has no idea how damaging this new policy will be.
But a law suit costs money. I'm willing to donate to this cause to help. But if you are from South Carolina and go to King's site, it won't accept a comment from an out-a-stater. So where's the donate button?
Great! Now where are the rest of his colleagues?
Don't know if a private suit will fly, but whatever ties up Obama for a while is a good thing.
What could be better: An uptodate deportation list with valid names and contact information.
Note to Romney: Pete King for head of Homeland Security.
Where the hell are the Oathkeepers? Do they truly exist or are they simply part of conservative folklore? Nobody is protecting American citizens from this anti-Christ in the White Hut.
"Barry has no idea how damaging this new policy will be."
Yes; he does. He knows exactly how damaging it'll be; it's what he's counting on. He's a Muslim and will do whatever it takes to destroy America.
The only one in Congress who apparently has a spine.
I must've missed the news that the Country is no longer a Republic, but has become the dictatorial regime of Baraq Hussein 0bama. How else can he disregard the duly passed laws of The United States and declare that the immigration laws will be enforced per his liking? IMPEACH and REMOVE his ass immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is that with Holder suing states over their voter ID laws EVEN THOUGH THE SCOTUS UPHELD VOTER ID LAWS WITH THEIR APRIL 2008 RULING, it's clear 0bama could give a rats azz about our SCOTUS and will do whatever he wants anyway.
Thank God that we have at least ONE Republican who has a "pair"....and brass ones at that.....
Too bad our "Weeper of the House" (Bone-er) still has his secured tucked away in some lock box
right before the immaculation in 2009:
Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to RULE from day one
Valerie Jarret co-chair of the Messiah's transition team.
Let's hope this will be his biggest B.A.C.K.F.I.R.E. ever!
I just called my congressmann's office and told them what I thought about Obama's announcement. They were not aware of King's announcement to sue, so I told them about it and strongly encouraged my congressman to join in the suit.
"Rep. Steve King said Friday that he plans to sue the Obama administration to halt implementation of its newly announced selective illegal immigration law enforcement policy."
Excellent. Kudos, Rep. King.
Obummer and Rubio deeply saddened.
I am getting through to the offices of congressmen in washington repeatedly and without waiting. This tells me very few are calling or as outraged as I am.
I am calling to offer support where appropriate and criticism as well.
It is a shame, maybe twitter has become the method of choice to communicate?
Oh, my mistake. I thought it was Peter King of the Homeland Security Committee. At least someone's speaking out. Allen West was out there this morning too.
I don't think so...unless you want to get RULED by the RINOs instead of being RULED by the zer0bama regime...
....after the Gabby Gifford shooting.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., one of a few anti-gun Republicans in Congress, is proposing a prohibition on firearms within 1000 feet of a president, vice-president, member of Congress or federal judge. A law like this would be impossible to enforce.
yeah...he will ban your guns...
Yes, 800,000 'job seekers' named Juan Hernandez is what's going to happen.
Mexicans may be a lot of things, but they aren't stupid, especially when it comes to 'the system'.
How do you think all those BILLIONS of illegal tax refunds that Americans can't get ended up in Mexico?
A motion to cut off funding for implementation immediately would be far more effective.
Is anyone around here old enough to remember when North Vietnam reinvaded the South a mere two years after signing on to the cease-fire to end the war?
The South Vietnam government asked merely for naval support to halt the invasion with near zero risk to U.S. troops. President Ford agreed to that support under the terms of the cease fire. The jackass majority in congress almost immediately passed a House resolution to cut off funding for that purpose and the North Vietnamese cruised in. The rest is history.
Why can't the spineless GOP show similar resolve in standing up to ObaMao?
Napolitano needs to be in prison.
Support King. He is acting bravely in my view. It is a shame it has come to this.
I simply searched for his office, found the phone number, called it, got right through. Asked the staffer to please thank the congressman for having a spine and giving me a little hope on an otherwise hopeless feeling day.
She was very cordial and said thank you.
Did the same thing with Lamar Smith's office. He has suggested impeachment proceedings as this is action today is unlawful.
I didn't do the same with Kevin Brady's office. He is my congressman and he never does a thing. You gotta hold a mirror to his face to see if he is still breathing.
Myth. No real resolve. The cost of acting is too high.
We are all just too old, the kids have to pick up the banner now.
We have to come to grips with the reality that both parties have worked very hard to bring about the New World Order.
Sue Hell. Immediate Impeachment.
"he successfully sued his own states governor and won "
Great news, crappy writing. Does "successfully sued" ever mean anything except that the plaintiff won? Anybody seen "successfully sued - and lost -"?
I must've missed the news that the Country is no longer a Republic, but has become the dictatorial regime of Baraq Hussein 0bama. How else can he disregard the duly passed laws of The United States and declare that the immigration laws will be enforced per his liking? IMPEACH and REMOVE his ass immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May I copy this to send to my reps with my signature? Pithy.
Obama just gave Amnesty to illegals. What Obama just did is illegal and an impeachable offense. Ok democrats and Obama tried to pass the Dream Act Amnesty .Republicans blocked it. So Obama passes the Dream act anyway by decree. wtf? Impeach this creature now.
Romney is against Amnesty. Tom Tancredo endorsed Romney.Where are those that tell us Romney is worse?
What hasn't this Obama done to destroy America, added 5 trilion in debt on us, gave Amnesty to illegals(bypassing of Congress), sent our jobs to China, exploded government size and power, used EPA to destroy what's left of American industry, gave away our U.S. sovereignty to the UN and China etc.
Republicans are the majority in the House. Though they're not conservative enough to rise to this, or evidently any challenge to their authority. So at least one, or perhaps a couple of members need to sue.
It's pathetic.
I just called both offices...thanks for the numbers. Both were very nice and thanked me for suppoting them
I called my rep Kevin McCarthy and told the girl he no longer has my vote, that I will no longer vote down ticket since we are being ruled by the President only. As a matter of fact I want all Congress people fired and I see no reason to pay them their princely salaries and perks any longer.
She said Mr. Carthy does not agree with this policy. I asked so what is he going to do about it? She said I don't know. So my answer was....he is probably so upset he will write a strongly worded letter....not good enough.
I finished with the Republicans better show some spine on this or they are done.
Good for Steve King!!!
Brady's office wanted my phone and address. I told them not to call or write asking for money. He said they might want to write me about their position. I said not to waste their or my time. I don't need anymore form letters from them that are like cold spittle, they just insult my intelligence.
Just do what needs to be done, grow a pair and raise hell!
Hopefully we'll *ALL* get a chance to have him represent us in the future, and not just Iowa!
I have been thinking on this some more. I do appreciate King standing up.
What I can hear now though is "NO STANDING". Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
great picture...the expression on his face remings me of Beldar Conehead getting ready to Narfle the Garthok.
Well, now we have one Republican who has spoken out against Obamas dictatorial behavior. Have we heard from any others?

1st One Worked Great, Last 3 Not So MuchI used to LOVE this tool, but that was a few years ago. When my first one finally died, I bought 2 more - one for me and one for my daughter. They both had power surges and the blower lost some power on mine. It even burned a section of my hair once. Threw those two away and cautiously bought another one only because I really loved my first one and was desperate for a styler. Unfortunately, this one is defective as well and has started having power surges. I will not be buying another Hot Tools styler. Sadly, I'm now researching for a replacement. These hot air brushes are really wonderful for people with fine, long, curly, frizzy hair. I have used this type of tool for over a decade and they really do work wonders.Feb 10, 2014Stacey / MassHAIR TYPELight Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Wouldn't Want To Be Without It! Wish It Were Dual Voltage!I love this tool and have for over a year. I used other Hot Tools and Helen of Troy pretty much identical ones (without ion technology yet) for years before. For frizzy long, fine to normal hair, it has been a dream come true. The only problem is that I travel internationally and it often doesn't work even on on converters. I would so love to have it in DUAL VOLTAGE, assuming the wattage/power remains high. The only dual voltage ones I can find are 250-300 watts and don't begin to compare to this 1000 watt tool. By the way, I did have to send one back that died quickly, but all my others have served me well. I have only had one lemon so far with Helen of Troy or Hot Tools and I use them everyday (often to touch up dry hair).Sep 9, 2013Cheri S. / TXHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Do Not Buy This ProductThis is an inferior product, it broke the third time i used it. It sounded "wonky" right from the get-go because when it was put on the high setting, the power surged high and low. Also impossible to change settings without using a tool or totally breaking a nail. The control is impossible to operate when you are using it. Finally it surged one last time and that was it. To add insult to injury, i had to PAY to return it ... almost $8. I paid $27 for it so it was an expensive mistake. Don't buy this!!!!

Great Product Made Very PoorlyMy beautician loaned me the Hot Tools Hot Air Brush 1074 and I was able to survive and actually look well without a perm, which I'd had for many years. I loved the results with the hot air brush, so I bought one for myself, and had it for exactly twelve days when the OFF button stopped working! Obviously, I had to return it, luckily through Amazon. Having tried other similar products, where the ionizing effect was very ineffective, or the motor noise was deafening, this hot air brush is a great product but made very, horribly cheaply. Additionally, the newer one's brush bristles have been softened slightly and do not grab the hair as well as the older models. However, I kept the original brush. I'm at a loss and will probably order another 1074, hoping to win against the odds, and hoping that Hot Tools gets the message with all our returns. How about manufacturing this products in the USA; how about using higher standards where you manufacture? Hot Tools, are you listening...and do you care?Jun 24, 2013Myra R.

How FrustratingI absolutely love this tool, however I have already burned out the second one in less than a year! While they are not expensive (as many posts suggest), they are not dependable. I don't understand why the company will not consider improving the issue. Overall it's a great product......I just cannot continue to purchase a product that I know will at some point leave me hanging! I am not on the lookout for another similar product.

:-(I had the Hot Tools curling brush for years...LOVED IT...unfortunately i dropped it and broke it. So, in my quest to get a new one, i came across the the same type Hot Tools curling brush but this one had a Cold Shot! AAAAND a separate piece so i could use the unit as a hair drier...EVEN BETTER!! no. Unfortunately, the motor on this burnt out within 5 months of my purchasing it. A number of other reviews on it i read had the same exact problem, but i didn't listen...figured it was just bad luck. no. there is definitely something wrong with the schematics of this and it's not like i used it everday. Super disappointed...so now i got the Con Air one that i hate because the cord is only like 3' long...so back to the original Hot Tools version for me.Sep 5, 2011Karen / Southern Cal.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

About this set: I am a huge Packer and Favre fan. My dad and I have the Milwaukee package of season tickets to Packer games and I have been going to games with him since the mid-80's. While I am mainly a card collector, I thought about what was the best way to collect something with regard to Brett's record setting QB start streak. The first thing that came to mind was a ticket collection. I have been lucky to find nearly all of them. In March of 2008 I thought that I would be done, but then Brett decided to come back to play. Unfortunately he was traded to Jets and then retired again only to move on the Vikings, but my collecting still goes on. If you have any ticket that I am missing please feel free to let me know. There is only one that i need 2004 @ Detriot, it needs to be either a season ticket holder ticket or a team issued ticket. PSA will not take the Ticket Master ticket that I have for this game. I would also be interested in GameDay Programs as well.

Rolling green hills, maple trees that turn red in the fall, and sparkling blue water lured the Reeds to Leelanau County.
It's home for Kerri, who grew up here.
Now Jeffery, a Louisiana native, loves it, too.
It seemed like the perfect place for the couple and their two sons when they moved north in 2006. Jeffery had spent a decade in the Army. They were ready for a new life.
Their oldest son, however, who is now 19, is autistic, legally blind, and needs special care.
Considering those needs, the modest house and 10 acres they found outside of Cedar suits them perfectly.
It includes an in-law's suite in the lower level where their son can have a semi-independent life. Probably best, though, is the land and its trails.
Their son will never be able to drive a car.
But he can drive a four-wheeler on those trails.
The Reed's tranquil spot in Leelanau County could, however, be in jeopardy.
According to Realtytrac, the Reed's property is just one of 137 bank-owned properties currently in Leelanau County, many of them remnants of the 2008 financial crisis.
And while in many cases homes go into foreclosure because they've been abandoned by the people who bought them, the Reeds say they've worked hard to stay in their home and thought they were negotiating a loan modification when their bank foreclosed. (The bank disputes this and says the Reeds ignored offers in 2010 for a loan modification after an initial contract fell through.)
The Reeds trace their troubles back to 2009 when they decided their interest rate was too high and wanted to refinance.
They both work hard and said they have always paid their bills -- she is a preschool teacher and he's worked at Walmart and in manufacturing and is on his way to getting a teacher's degree -- but they felt their monthly mortgage payment was about double what it should have been.
When they started making calls about a loan modification in November three years ago, they had no idea they had taken the first step toward seeing their home foreclosed.
Their lives had nearly reached the lowest point when the Reeds called a lawyer.
Attorney Jason Jenkinson, who specializes in helping people facing foreclosure, said by the time the Reeds called, in October, it was almost too late.
They had not understood the complicated, labyrinthine foreclosure process as it unfolded before them, he said.
The Reeds were referred to Jenkinson after they sought help at Third Level crisis center when they received a notice of an eviction hearing.
By the time Jenkinson was involved, the Reeds home was already in foreclosure and they faced eviction through the district court in Leelanau County.
Days after they received notice of the hearing, Jeffery Reed's mother died. Reed said he realized he needed to miss the hearing in order to attend the funeral in Louisiana.
Jenkinson, who said JP Morgan Chase foreclosed on the Reed's house and then sold the property to Fannie Mae for one dollar, said he recalls the frustration of trying to get that eviction hearing postponed.
"It was the choice of Fannie Mae," Jenkinson said. "Fannie Mae could have said, 'We'll adjourn the hearing,' and it would have been adjourned."
They would not agree to an adjournment, however.
"I guess the whole point of this is, did Fannie Mae know that this guy had a loan modification agreement?" Jenkinson said.
A default judgement was entered against the Reeds but that judgement has since been set aside.
To the court, the case just looks like a tenant who stopped paying rent, Jenkinson said.
"There's nothing in their file concerning the voluminous modification efforts, document requests and phone calls over three years," he said.
(JP Morgan Chase, however, said they have no records of phone calls from the Reeds since their problem with a loan modification began in 2010.)
The eviction hearing was in district court because the bank had already taken legal control of the home and now it was a mere formality to get the Reeds removed.
There is really very little a person can do once things reach that point, Jenkinson said. People facing foreclosure need to call a lawyer once they realize they are at odds with their bank.
"If we get past the redemption period, it takes a lawsuit for a modification because you're no longer working with the bank, you're working with Fannie Mae or whomever allegedly purchased the property at the sheriff's sale," he said.
Jenkinson said he would file a lawsuit in the Reed's case unless something can be worked out, which now appears possible. A Chase representative has said the company is willing to work with the Reeds.
Here is how the Reeds went from refinancing a loan to foreclosure:
The couple decided they needed to refinance in 2009 because their monthly payments of around $1,500 were too much, Jeffery Reed said.
They were paying an interest rate of 7.25, which more than double the rates offered today.
They had a lot invested in their home.
It had cost around $250,000 and they had put down around $100,000. They had also paid the bank around $1,500 each month for three years.
Chase was unwilling to modify their mortgage at first, the Reeds said, so they turned to a mortgage refinance intermediary who told them if they wanted to re-negotiate a new mortgage, they had to prove hardship.
They were instructed to stop paying their mortgage.
Up until that point, the Reeds say they had not missed a payment.
It was a long, complicated, anxiety-inducing process, but in the end, it appeared they had prevailed. In September of 2010, they received a new contract.
They had a modification. Their new payments were around $650 per month.
"Everything felt final," Kerri Reed said.
"OK. Now we finally have a comfortable payment. And then we're making the payments."
They started to make payments and expected to receive a payment book in the mail at any time, but that's not what happened.
They made one payment, and then another, and then another. After that third payment, they received a check from Chase for the same amount, the couple said.
The bank would no longer accept payments, they said. As far as Chase was concerned, the contract was void and they no longer had an agreement.
"I call and I say, 'Why? Why are you sending this back? We had an agreement," Jeffery Reed said.
Reed said he eventually learned the bank decided something was wrong with the contract.
On one of the pages there is a table that describes payments through the life of the contract.
If you look closely, you can see there is an error -- in one of the cells in the table the year 2016 appears where 2017 should have been printed.
Because of that typo, Jeffery Reed says, he was told he no longer had a modification agreement.
The bank says their records indicate the Reeds were sent a new contract and followup letters warning them they needed to sign the new contract. They said the Reeds were sent two certified packages via FedEx regarding the new contract in late 2010. They said their records show the Reeds never attempted to contact the bank about the problem.
Jenkinson said people in the Reed's circumstance wind up buried in letters and messages from the bank and from lawyers representing the bank. Significant letters can get lost in confusion. He said it is not uncommon for people to be defeated by how baffling the process is.
"What level of sophistication do the Reeds have to have in order to participate with the mortgage lender?" Jenkinson said.
Jenkinson said he's seen a lot of foreclosure cases, but this one surprised him because there was an actual remodification contract.
In many cases, banks will use documents that look like contracts but are not legally binding, he said.
"This is the first time I've seen one -- an actual modification agreement from Chase," Jenkinson said. "I've never seen one of these for real."
Jenkinson said he believes he is seeing a tactic from banks over and over again where bank employees and their lawyers will make homeowners believe they are negotiating for a modification while a foreclosure process quietly begins.
As legal notices are posted in newspapers and letters filled with legalese are sent to the homeowners, the banks' representatives tell the homeowners not to worry, he said, referring to cases in general.
In many cases, people should worry, Jenkinson said.
"They have no intention of following through," he said.
The process takes a year or more and the homeowners don't understand what's going on. A foreclosure is followed by a six-month redemption period, followed by an eviction. By the time the homeowner realizes something is wrong, it might be too late.
"I don't think people realize the rights they lose after the sheriff's sale, then the redemption period, and finally the eviction hearing," he said. "Homeowners lose substantial rights at the conclusion of each step."
It appears there is a stalemate between the Reeds and Chase, but there are hopeful signs.
Chase recently sent a specialist from New York to the Reeds' door in Leelanau County. They have tried to reach them in other ways but the Reeds have not responded.
The Reeds said they tried and failed too many times to deal directly with Chase, so they have decided they should only deal with the bank through their attorney. Jenkinson said he also has been contacted by Chase in the past couple of weeks and has attempted to return calls, but so far the parties have not made a connection.
A spokeswoman for Chase, Amy Bonitatibus, made this statement about the case: "We reached out to the customer and his attorney a number of times but have not been able to connect with the customer to discuss ways he can stay in his home."
The Reeds say they have just wanted to have this worked out all along and they don't understand how something like a typo in a contract could cause so much trouble.
"I feel a little more hopeful," Kerri Reed said.
But even if it works out and they get a valid mortgage modification, it's been two years of worrying the family believes they didn't deserve.
Those months when the process was in motion and their house was being foreclosed seem surreal now. They were losing their home and they didn't understand what was going on.
"We didn't know anything about it. We never got anything in the mail. We never got things posted on our door," Kerri said. "We're good people. We pay our bills."
After this story was reported, written and edited, Jenkinson contacted the Express to say that he had received a modification offer from Chase. It looks like the Reeds do not have to worry about losing their home in the new year.
"It looks like we are going to get started on a modification after the holidays," Jenkinson said.

Dow, S&P Leap to Record Highs on Stimulus Prospects
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 closed at record highs Tuesday on expectations the Federal Reserve won't pullback on its stimulus measures at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting tomorrow given that the U.S. economic recovery continues to struggle.
The S&P 500 gained 0.6% to close at 1,771.95 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 0.7% to 15,680.35 and the Nasdaq added 0.3% to 3,952.34.
The Fed's policy-making statement Wednesday is unlikely to announce a so-called tapering to its monthly asset purchases, Eric Stein, portfolio manager with Eaton Vance's Global Income Group, said Tuesday at a luncheon in New York. Stein added that the Fed could approach a policy in which it sometimes tightens and sometimes loosens asset purchases at later policy meetings, dependent upon the economic data coming out then.
A spate of economic data released earlier today was mostly positive but not strong enough to allow investors to expect that the Fed would view the reports as signs that it could begin to cutback on the roughly $385 million bond-buying program that is credited with stabilizing the economy following the 2009 recession.
U.S. retail sales excluding auto dealers rose 0.4% in September, showing ongoing growth in confidence before the partial government shutdown. Figures from the Commerce Department met consensus expectations.
"Housing data yesterday was positive along with the Case-Shiller index today, while earnings are mixed but generally supportive of the market," Schaeffer's Investment Research director of research Todd Salamone said in a phone interview. "The Fed is not causing anyone to buy or sell with expectations for tapering moving back to January or March."
Pfizer PFE gained 1.7% to $31.25 as the largest U.S. drug maker posted earnings that beat expectations on higher sales of cancer drugs as well as cost cutting. The company earned $2.59 billion or 39 cents per share in the quarter. When special charges of $572 million linked to restructurings and writedowns were stripped out, Pfizer earned 58 cents per share, above analyst forecasts for 56 cents per share.
Water technology company Xylem XYL surged 12.4% to $32.53 after profits of 49 cents a share beat estimates for 35 cents. The company also raised guidance to a range of $1.60 to $1.65 per share, citing strong third quarter performance, cost cutting and improving market conditions.
Seagate STX fell 3.2% to $48.25 as the data storage provider missed analyst forecasts for its fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue. Seagate posted revenue of $3.5 billion, down from $3.7 billion a year earlier and below Wall Street forecasts of $3.56 billion.
Bathroom and kitchen company Masco MAS rose 2.6% to $21.47 after sales beat expectations. The company posted sales of $2.2 billion last quarter, above estimates for revenue of $2.1 billion. Earnings of 27 cents a share also beat analyst expectations.

Does anyone know if the amount of lipase can vary and not always have an effect on the milk? I have noticed a couple of bottles turn soapy smelling/tasting and I am trying to determine if that means all of my stored milk will turn this way. I have an entire deep freezer full of milk and I am hoping that it's not all bad. My LO takes pumped milk 3 days per week when I am working and he is nursed the rest of the time. I have stored his bottles of milk in the refrigerator and it seems that they are okay for a few days. I tested some milk that was 5 days old and it had the soapy smell. I would prefer not to have to scald my milk if I don't have to because I know that it looses some of its anti-infective properties. I am wondering if I might need to only give LO pumped milk that is no older than a few days and then scald the milk that I have to freeze? My LO is not thrilled with taking the bottle, but tolerates it okay. I am wondering if part of it may be due to the change if flavor with excess lipase.
Thanks in advance!

Sometimes It Just doesn't Work Out as Planned
Oldman and I set out Saturday morning for 3 day/2 night backcountry fishing trip in the GSMNP. He has fished this stream but it was my first time there. We carefully reviewed the weather forecast and knew Saturday was good but Sunday and Monday we may be in for trouble. With both of us wanting badly to get into the backcountry, we went for it.
After setting up camp, we set out to do some fishing. At first, we thought it would be a great day. Within 10-15 minutes, we both caught rainbows in excess of 10 inches. I also hooked a nice brown right at camp but he came unhooked.
After that, the fishing slowed to a crawl. We fished on for a while wondering if we were fishing behind someone. Finally we bailed out and hiked upstream for a bit, we soon saw another angler, we talked to him to find out we were fishing behind 3 people. We headed back to camp and took a little break.
Although the fishing was slow, the average fish was pretty decent.
The stream was absolutely beautiful.
After a short break, we fished around camp for a while and caught supper. We thought things were picking up. Oldman caught the bigger one and while he was putting it on the stringer, I casted in the same hole and pulled out his smaller buddy. The fishing slowed down after that. We kept 3, one for each of us and one for our camp neighbor. It was his first trout ever and he loved it.
We headed back to camp and hung out around the fire, talking with our camp neighbor. He was an interesting fellow, to say the least. Right at dark, 3 teenage boys came in, it was there first ever camping trip. Their plans were to stay out for 7 days and nights, I hope they will be okay. They seemed like nice kids, but I don't they had a clue what they were doing and I really don't think they had enough food for that long.
We woke Sunday morning to the sound of rain. We ate breakfast and decided to bug out. We packed up and hiked out in the rain. With the thunderstorms moving in, we felt it was best. We had no desire to sit under a tarp all day and wait of the weather.
It was still a fun trip. The hike was a beast for me as I am not in tip top shape. It's uphill both ways. Going in, you climb 1 very steep ridge and going out you climb 2 very steep ridges. I am still sore.
We left some food with the kids at camp, trying lighten our packs and help them out at the same time.
We saw no bears, but at least 5 big piles of bear scat were on the trail. Our camp neighbor sad he saw a bear near camp on Friday. We had a buck walk into camp Sunday morning, all decked out in his velvet antlers, he looked to be pretty mature and I think his rack will be pretty nice once it's grown out. He came within 30 feet of us, but my camera was in the tent so I was unable to get a picture. It's little things like that that make a backcountry trip so special.
Very nice report and those pictures are great. The fish looked awesome and I bet they tasted good as well. Nice camp setup. Thanks for sharing I enjoyed it very much.:smile:
I am still really Envious,
Your trip sounds like a heck of a lot better than my week at work. Thanks for taking the time to share your pictures and trip stories.
It sure helps reading these reports and seeing your pictures until its my turn to get out in the backcountry again. :redface:
Please, keep them coming.
I fished 2 miles above you Saturday morning and may have seen you pitching camp as we walked out. On our way out, we saw the other anglers in the water just above your camp. I fished upstream again Sunday. The rain quit about 10:30 am and the stream stayed clear all day. The fish upstream were quite active both days, and looking up.
The area around this campsite is getting heavy fishing pressure these days. You could probably tell from the over-used appearance of the camp-site itself. On a Saturday, you are sure to have fishing company here, and this probably affected your catch rate. Judging from your numerous other good posts from remote streams, you are probably accustomed to less pressured water.
The boys were hanging out Sunday afternoon with your camp neighbor. He appeared to be a big fellow. They looked fine. Thanks for posting your trip.
We saw 2 guys coming back from upstream as we were pitching our tents. Were you with them or where you with the other three I saw. One of the three was a older gent I would guess in his 70's with a bandage on his left side of his face and wearing waders. If you were not any of those folks that would make at least 8 folks fishing up there in a three mile section.
We were the pair. I could tell you two were serious fishermen from your dress and gear. The ten inch rainbows you caught were excellent for that stretch of water.
Last weekend, I found a lost airedale terrier in the campsite. It had a phone number with no area code on it, and the name "Lucky." After numerous phone calls, I located the owner, who is a horse enthusiast from Kentucky. He'd lost the dog while riding in the park (the dog of course was there illegally with his owner.) Lucky came to live with me for a few days and is now back at his Kentucky home.
Next time we will camp upstream at the next site.
I will not stay at that site again. My first time and there is a Bigfoot in camp that resembles Charles Manson, even his first name was Charles and he toted a hatchet. Then the daycare shows up at dark and disappears into the woods to smoke thier dope upwind of us.
When I hit that stream again it will be the campsite upstream from that one for sure.
I agree with your strategy. It was probably also a good idea to feed the big neighbor. It might have spared you a midnight hatchet chop. I passed him on the bridge and he scared me! Better luck next outing to the two of you.
I kept looking for a news clip about 3 teenage young men killed in the park. Anywho, I mentioned to Mike aka ifsh4wildtrout, with a wink of my eye, If he was still packing. Thankfully he caught on a said sure.

text: Staff on January 20, 2012 1 Comment Most cleaning products fall into one of two categories: toxic or expensive. While both types will clean almost anything, or at least what they are designated to clean, there's a third option. It's inexpensive and not at all poisonous to humans. It's multi-purpose as well–one container will take care of laundry, kitchen cleaning, even bugs and weeds. You don't have to look farther than your kitchen cabinet for this "miracle cleaner" – Vinegar. Vinegar is a weak form of acetic acid that forms through the fermentation of sugars or starches. It is completely edible, and cannot harm your stomach and is safe to use around children. And luckily for us, many things can be cleaned using it. The uses of vinegar are nearly endless. In addition to cleaning, it is an excellent item for cooking and even home science experiments. For most uses you can fill a spray bottle with a vinegar and water mixture, which will make it much easier to use. Here are 21 popular uses for cleaning with vinegar: Uses around the House: Removing stickers and sticky things that have been stuck around the house on walls and furniture. A bowl of vinegar in room overnight gets rid of constant unpleasant odors. If something is spilt on the carpet soak up as much liquid as possible with towels or sponges and spray with a mixture of half vinegar, half water. Wait 2 minutes and then blot with towel. Wood paneling can be cleaned with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 cups warm water. With persistent stains, you can mix 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap and 1 cup warm water. Follow the procedure above and then dry with a hairdryer. To clean windows, spray with half vinegar, half water. Wipe clean with either newspapers or cloth. 1 teaspoon of salt in one cup vinegar and 1/4 cup of flour can be used to create a polishing paste for silver, pewter, copper or brass. Apply to item, let stand for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Bathroom Uses: Soak showerheads in vinegar overnight to remove deterioration or chemical build-up. When cleaning the toilet bowl, spray vinegar to get rid of rings and spots. To prevent mildew, spray shower walls and shower curtain with vinegar. Kitchen Uses: Spraying vinegar along doorways, windowsills, countertops, cabinets, etc. will get rid of ants. Wash your sink out with vinegar and pour some down the drain to remove unwanted odors. For a clogged drain, pour in 1/2 cup baking soda and ½ cup vinegar. Rinse with warm water after bubbling occurs. Vinegar is great for removing odors and bacteria from a chopping board after use, as well as your hands after handing smelly foods like onions and garlic, etc. Use it for any counter tops or surfaces. For microwave cleaning purposes, put a bowl of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 cup water inside and cook until it boils. This will get rid of odor and unstick food stains from the walls of the microwave. Vinegar and salt together can be used to remove stains from china. Who would have thought you could get so much out of such a common product!

Ordered these the other day from Amazon (sorry, on iPod and don't havens link). They feel like Lansinoh bags to me, but what appeals to me is that they are biodegradeable. Although, to be fair, Lansinoh bags are recycleable.
Haven't thawed any milk I've put in them to see if that makes them leak, as I don't need to that milk right now.
Price...comparable to Lansinoh bags, in that the price listed was for 75 bags. I ordered enough stuff that shipping was free.

You have the option to purchase renewable electricity, either directly from your power supplier, from an independent clean power generator, or through renewable energy certificates.
Planning for a home renewable energy system is a process that includes analyzing your existing electricity use, looking at local codes and requirements, deciding if you want to operate your system on or off of the electric grid, and understanding technology options you have for your site.
When connecting a home energy system to the electric grid, you should research and consider what the typically required equipment will be as well as your power provider's requirements and agreements.
Powering your home or small business using a small renewable energy system that is not connected to the electricity grid -- called a stand-alone system -- can make economic and environmental sense.
You can use renewable energy to power your home, either by purchasing "green power"—electricity generated using renewable energy, or by installing a small renewable energy system. Using a small renewable energy system can help you lower your electricity costs, achieve energy independence, and reduce pollution. Learn your options for buying clean electricity, as well as how to plan for your own small wind, solar, or microhydropower systems.
A small solar electric or photovoltaic system can be a reliable and pollution-free producer of electricity for your home or office. Learn about which solar system might be right for your home.
Small wind electric systems are one of the most cost-effective home-based renewable energy systems -- with zero emissions and pollution.
Do you have a stream on your property? Microhydropower may provide a simple and reliable source of electricity for your home.
Need a reliable source of renewable power? Consider combining wind and solar systems to produce power when you need it.
Both grid-connected and off-grid home renewable energy systems require additional "balance-of-system" equipment.
The SunShot Initiative is working to make it easier for consumers to install solar panels on their homes.

WSU study finds no abuse on football team
An internal investigation into allegations by a former player of abuse by coaches on the Washington State football team did not turn up any evidence of such abuse in the program headed by coach Mike Leach.
Athletic director Bill Moos says a dozen players were interviewed by two members of his staff, and all reported they were having a positive experience at Washington State.
Star receiver Marquess Wilson quit the team late in the season and contended that players were suffering physical and mental abuse at the hands of coaches.
Washington State President Elson Floyd asked for the internal review of those allegations, and also asked the Pacific-12 Conference to do its own review.
The conference review is still being conducted.

- Title
- An association probability based noise generation strategy for privacy protection in cloud computing
- Author(s)
- Zhang, Gaofeng; Zhang, Xuyun; Yang, Yun; Liu, Chang; Chen, Jinjun
- Abstract
- Cloud computing allows customers to utilise IT services in a pay-asyou- go fashion to save huge cost on IT infrastructure. In open cloud, 'malicious' service providers could record service data from a cloud customer and collectively deduce the customer's privacy without the customer's permission. Accordingly, customers need to take certain actions to protect their privacy automatically at client sides, such as noise obfuscation. For instance, it can generate and inject noise service requests into real ones so that service providers are hard to distinguish which ones are real. Existing noise obfuscations focus on concealing occurrence probabilities of service requests. But in reality, association probabilities of service requests can also reveal customer privacy. So, we present a novel association probability based noise generation strategy by concealing these association probabilities. The simulation comparison demonstrates that this strategy can improve the effectiveness of privacy protection significantly from the perspective of association probability.

Hi ladies,
I'm another full-time working mom with not enough time! Here is my story: DH is a SAHD, and when I get home around 5, he's beat, so I "take over" caring for DS (almost 9 months old).
DS usually wakes up from a nap as I get home. Then it's nurse, read/play a few min, solids, bath, play a little bit, nurse, bed. Bedtime is usually between 7 and 8pm.
Then I start the marathon: washing bottles, dishes (no dishwasher!), cooking dinner for DH and myself, shower, pump, try to get to bed ASAP since he usually wakes during the night. I have no downtime...
So... I would like to be able to cut down the time my routine takes. And I would REALLY like us to sit down and eat dinner together. I've been trying to cook at night for the next day, so that I just have to heat things, but I'm so tired that I usually don't. Another issue is that my diet is very restricted due to DS's reflux, so most of our meals are different. I'm thinking about buying a playpen for the kitchen so I can watch DS and cook, but since I don't see him much on weekdays, I feel bad about not giving him my full attention.
I feel like I have 3 full-time jobs. Help! How do you manage dinner and DC?

For months, some in the community worried that the three-day Phish event would bring traffic nightmares, vandalism and worse. But when the jam band finally appeared at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the holiday weekend unfolded relatively smoothly.
Because a fleet of buses travelled from campsites to the center, traffic problems were minimal, and the fans were mostly well behaved, both in the concert facility and around the area.
For three hours before each concert, the parking lot at Bethel Woods became an impromptu bazaar, where vendors sold everything from paintings to crystals and even Jello shots; the atmosphere was festive.
Still, there were a few minor flies in the ointment. The New York State Police at Liberty and the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department arrested about a dozen people at the concerts for such infractions as possession of marijuana and Ecstasy and resisting arrest.
Overall, however, the weekend was considered by many to be a success. Bethel supervisor Dan Sturm said that the Phish fans were a "great crowd," and he was pleased with the way the weekend progressed.
Probably the most controversial aspect to the weekend was the 15-year feud between Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson and town officials that flared up again.
Howard and Abramson applied for and received temporary camping permits that would allow them to accommodate about 250 campers at their farm on Route 17B. But Abramson announced on the internet that the couple had plenty of space and had hired bands for the occasion. Thousands of campers were expected to turn out.
Town officials sent a letter to the couple saying that they had violated the terms of a consent order they signed in 2007, when the couple agreed not to hold any more Woodstock reunion concerts. The town issued violations before the first campers showed up.
Abramson said that, by her estimation, if the couple allowed all of the campers onto their 100 acres, they could be facing a minimum of $100,000 in fines, and perhaps much more than that. Therefore, the couple closed their land to all but about 250 campers, and hundreds of young people showed up in town and had no place to stay.
Many of them ended up at Hector's Inn on Route 17B and Dr. Duggan Road. There were 120 cars in a lot across the street. Steve Agoston, a veterinarian who lives next to the inn, said there were no sanitation facilities provided, and the campers were using his lawn as a latrine, which he found to be upsetting.
Others campers went to Fiddlers Flea Market, which had also applied for temporary permits. Sturm said town officials working with the Sullivan County Visitor's Association fielded about 150 calls from campers and were able to find places to stay for all of them.
Jonathan Fox, who was gathering material for a column for The River Reporter, said that he talked to hundreds of kids who had been turned away from Howard and Abramson's place. He said, "There were kids hiding out in the woods all over town. They didn't know where to go."
Sturm said town officials had some 28 cars towed from Yasgur Road, the road leading to Howard and Abramson's place, and the owners paid hefty fines before they could be retrieved.

The Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics (CHCE) is an independent academic unit that reports to the Vice President for Health Sciences at Saint Louis University. CHCE is committed to excellence in teaching, service, and research in bioethics.
We are dedicated to excellence in both secular and religious discourse. As a part of Saint Louis University, a premier Jesuit institution, the Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics brings the Catholic, Jesuit tradition into interdisciplinary discourse with health care. This mission commits us to religious as well as secular philosophical and legal bioethics discourse. Our modes of discourse reflect our traditions of service. The Center has a long history of serving faith-based health care institutions through consultations and educational programs. It also engages in government-funded research projects and the education of students with varied worldviews.
Our faculty and programs are interdisciplinary. The Center's full-time faculty includes people with terminal degrees in law, medicine, philosophy, psychology, and theology. Affiliated faculty additionally hold terminal degrees in health care ethics, public health, and research methodology. Health care ethics has become its own field, but much like the field of public health, it will always require expertise across many disciplines.
Our educational programs emphasize the development of professional skills. Reading the literature in bioethics does not require mastery of ancient languages, but it does require mastery of search engines and databases like Medline, knowledge of medical terminology, and reading knowledge of research methods and statistics. Students in the PhD Program are required to develop these research skills while completing coursework on philosophical, religious, and interdisciplinary methods in ethics and on the legal, administrative, and medical contexts of the field. Doctoral students may additionally pursue concentrations in empirical research methods, research ethics, or catholic health care ethics to further develop skills.
The Center offers three dual-degree programs: MD/PhD, JD/PhD and MA/PhD. These dual degree programs enable students to pursue the PhD in health care ethics while completing professional training in law or medicine.
We are a self-standing academic unit. We are an independent academic unit that reports to the Vice President for Health Sciences at Saint Louis University. In addition to collaborating with faculty in other departments and local corporate ethicists, CHCE has its own full-time faculty of health care ethicists.
We offer a PhD in Health Care Ethics to prepare individuals for careers in academic, corporate, research and clinical bioethics settings. Click here to read about what makes our interdisciplinary bioethics PhD distinctive. Departmental faculty also teach the ethics component in most professional degree programs at Saint Louis University.
Our faculty serve on university and local institutional review boards and ethics committees. Many faculty serve in government-sponsored programs: NIH scientific review committees, data safety monitoring boards, and expert panels (Institute of Medicine, NASA, and Office of Research Integrity). They also provide clinical consultations by arrangement. Health Care Ethics faculty serve as the Editors-in-Chief of the Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics journal and serve on the editorial boards of many other journals.
Our faculty and PhD students regularly publish in health care and bioethics. Faculty have held grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Research Integrity, and several foundations, including the Mayday and Templeton Foundations.

What is in this article?:
- Legislators Probe For Details On MF Global Collapse
- Duffy's Testimony
- Tough Questions
- Legislators Demand Truth
- The executives – responsible for the eighth-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history and the odd, potentially criminal, loss of an estimated $1.2 billion in customer funds – exhibited amnesia symptoms.
- Terrance Duffy, the CME Group's executive chairman, gave sworn testimony that contradicted former MF Global head Jon Corzine's claims of ignorance.
Legislators Demand Truth
Corzine paused before answering. "As in a number of questions, being asked to speculate – and I don't think I should speculate – I had no reason to believe until the evening of Oct. 30 that there was a misuse of customer funds."
Abelow echoed a common refrain from Mf Global executives, saying he was "shocked" to learn of the customer fund shortfall.
Roberts, in a clipped tone, "well, if this isn't what happened, what did happen?"
The executives passed on answering.
The search for integrity
That didn't stop committee members from trying to box the executives in. Barring deliberate transfers, North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven wondered how MF Global's customer accounts could be short.
"We had customers also withdrawing funds from the firm," claimed Corzine. "There are all kinds of transactions associated with that. ... There are possibilities in the repurchase agreements – the proper use of Rule 1.25 investments – between the FCM and broker dealer that could have broken down."
The customer funds that are short dollars "were either moved out of their accounts for the benefit of the firm," Hoeven said. "Or, you have an accounting error and you have a responsibility to make sure you have an accounting system that properly segregates those dollars."
"There could have been breakdowns in those systems," Corzine said. "We believed we had the people, the procedures, and the policies in place to protect client segregated funds."
Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley was "baffled" by the inability of the MF Global executives to answer basic questions. The trio's "supposed lack of knowledge ... is alarming. I want answers and Iowa farmers want answers."
Grassley then began a series of questions asking for names of MF Global employees able to provide answers that the executives wouldn't – that was picked up by other committee members. The reluctant executives provided several names and eventually pointed to the firm's treasury department.
Roberts loudly wondered how much testimony it would take "before we finally drill down and find someone's name who knows what the heck is going on?" He suggested Abelow put together a chart of the firm's hierarchy and employee names "and we'll finally get down to the custodian."
Upon learning of the customer fund shortage "what did you say to each other?" Conrad asked. "If it was me, the first thing that would come to my mind is 'how in the hell did this happen?' Did you have a theory?"
Corzine said his reaction was to "marshal resources ... and find out where the money is and why we're out of reconciliation. Then, step back and let the people who know how to read the thousands of pages of records, get on with the business."
With so much MF Global client money missing, Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns went looking for "some person who had sufficient integrity to say 'Oh, my lord. Client money is disappearing and I need to talk to the boss.' Are you aware of anybody in the organization" who alerted MF Global leaders "something very, very serious is happening?"
There was no such person or warning, Johanns was told. "Do you realize how incredible that sounds to this committee? $1.2 billion – the first time in history it had happened – could get drained away from customers and it doesn't come to your attention or someone doesn't seek your authorization? Doesn't that strike you as incredible?"
