I will still check the fishing report daily and check Plateau Angler's blog, but I can't get on here and read all these stories about fishing the smokies by people who live hundreds of miles away. The majority the real great smokies fishermen who need to be telling stories live here and are not on the forum much because of all the rambling and self proclaimed experts already on here. I won't stir up s#%t by naming names, but I will name one incident unrelated to fishing that pushed me to the point that I need to withdraw from this forum in order to hold my tongue. A partner of a man on this forum recently took two men on a guiding hunting trip just outside the GSMNP in a residential area for dumpster bears. Only 100ft from the side of a busy road this guide had his clients shoot a mother bear which had two small cubs standing by her side. Unfortunately for this guide a local business owner witnessed the incident and called a local agency and an investigation was launched and the story was spread. If anyone has further questions feel free to email
. Byron and Paula, thank you for what you do for the sport and I in no way associate you or your business with the unsportsmanlike activities I mentioned here. You provide us all a great service. Please deactivate my account upon reading this. I wish good fishing and good luck to the 95% of you who fish for the love of the sport, and to the other 5%............karma is a bitch. One day it will catch up to you
I can understand your frustrations and you make valid points. However; there will always be people here and there that we do not agree with or do not like. Accepting this point and not allowing it to dictate what you do will breath rejuvenation in to your spirit. I have used your approach a few times on other things and I guess I felt a little selfish looking back on it. I am sure Byron and Paula will probably just let you account stay. They really do not have the time nor do I expect they desire to police these forums. I do hope you stay on the forum and I see that you have a significant amount of contributions by your post count.
I say fight the urge to surrender to the actions of others and never let that influence your passions and freedoms! I have done that and it only hurt myself and segregated my options.
I know there are great people on this forum and I know many I have made friends with personally are spectacular people. I would have never met them and experienced life with them if I would not have posted. I hope you can step back a bit and let your frustrations settle. I am willing to help you in any way if I can. Not sure about bear hunting or what I could do; but, I do not like poaching or people breaking laws.
Again; keep your spirit up and NEVER let people or their actions influence your desires.

A neighborhood community garden will soon be making its way to the city of Amsterdam.
On Thursday, about a dozen people met in the Creative Connections Arts Center on East Main Street to discuss the possibility of bringing the garden to the empty plot of land behind the center.
Barbara Neznek, a local herbalist, along with Amsterdam Mayor Ann Thane, brought some light to the idea that evening, and those in attendance seemed to be into the idea.
Neznek read to the group a reflection she had written on what the community garden could be for the neighborhood.
"Originally, I mentioned to Ann (Thane) that I would like a little place at the Art's Center to put in some herbs and maybe get kids interested in the healing properties of plants. This would be something I could manage on my own," she read. "But then the idea came, what if you could get parents and community members involved, then it would be getting adults working on healthy projects and maybe they would work with their children and everybody would reap the benefits."
On Friday, Neznek stood in the already cleared plot of land, drawing a vision of what the garden could become.
"My big thing was getting people involved," she explained.
And she's already succeeded in getting some from the younger generation to join her team of recruiters to spread the word about the idea.
Dianeoit Vazquez, a 15-year-old who lives right in the area of the garden, was elated at the idea.
"It's a pretty nice thing to do that could involve a lot of people," she said, envisioning her own family having a plot where they could grow tomatoes, maybe fruits, and anything else they would like. "And it's going to be beautiful to look at."
Vazquez said she thinks her neighborhood community will definitely want to be involved and will be helping Neznek hand out some flyers with a friend during the week to spread the word.
The garden will be approximately 40 by 70 feet, with each lot being either 5-by-5 or 4-by-7 feet.
Each will be measured out using twine and stakes, and the whole garden will be fenced in.
Plots will be free and it will be on a first-come-first-serve basis as far as who will get them.
And local organizations even want to have plots and be involved, like the Mental Health Association and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE).
Neznek said she would like to get CCE Master Gardeners involved for classes and "weekly teas" where plot members will come to the arts center to share tips, talk about the garden, and even share produce and recipes.
"We want this to be a real community thing," she said. "We've lost community in our country and with this, and the labyrinth, we're trying to put that back."
Down the line, once the garden is established, there is a vision for a tool shed for community gardening tools and a bulletin board where people can share what they have surplus of with the neighborhood.
The garden is likely to open at the end of May.
"We'd really like to see this as a great community place."
A meeting will be held on May 8 at 6 p.m. at the art's center for anyone interested in having a plot.
For more information, Neznek said residents can visit the "Amsterdam Labyrinth and Community Garden" Facebook page or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What I Learned from a Coffee Meeting with Three Gay Men
Recently three gay men in our community invited me to meet for coffee. It wound up being the best meeting of my week. Challenging, thought-provoking, enlightening—I'm grateful I said yes.
I'll admit that as we all were getting settled around the small table in the downtown café, immediate tension was our common bond—not because any of us is an unkind person, but because there exist thick and longstanding stereotypes about them—gay men—and about types like me—evangelical megachurch pastors—as well as myriad assumptions to overcome. Would they lash out at me in anger? Would I condemn them for their sinful ways? Both parties were suspicious: where was this thing headed, anyway?
What follows are five lessons learned from that hour-long meeting, courtesy of one who stands today renewed in his hope that bridge-building still is possible, regardless of the chasm we're trying to span.
One: Our stories are more similar than we think.
As I took in the tales of their upbringing—their families, their histories, their quirks—I realized that the details that separated my experience from theirs were grossly outnumbered by the uncanny similarities we shared. The truth is, none of us had perfect families.
Two: Truth isn't always conveyed in love.
To a person, these three men explained to me that as soon as they came out as gay, they were treated terribly by Christ followers, all of whom wanted them to "know the truth." Consequently, these men were well versed in the evangelical theories of marriage, family, and sexuality. They were also well versed in the art of being judged and scorned.
Three: Homosexuality is more bipartisan than we may think.
Two of the three men were Republicans, which spurred on more than a few laughs about how both straight and gay people like to keep their money in their pocket instead of adding to the government dole.
Four: Common sense points to common ground.
As we continued our conversation, it became apparent to me that while we may never agree on what the Bible means when it speaks of both sexuality and homosexuality, certainly we can agree that both the gay community and the evangelical Jesus-following community can do a better job of being kind toward one another. "Bullying is never okay," I said to them, just before affirming my commitment to help stand up for everyone in our city—both gay and straight—who is being targeted for insults and outright violence. I shared my story of being falsely accused of being a "hater' when, in fact, I have never felt that way about the gay community.
Five: Coffee tables are places of peace.
The four of us—three gay guys and a straight pastor—agreed that further dialogue held in neutral territory was imperative to our bridging a volatile gap.
Listen, I have not budged a bit on my theology regarding biblical marriage being solely between a man and a woman. I have not wavered in my belief that acting on homosexual tendencies remains an outright sin. I'm simply determined to live as Jesus lived. He had real relationships with people who believed and lived differently than him.
We are called to be people of peace. Join me if you dare.

This has to be my absolute favorite thing you have written. Thank you for living out Jesus' command to love thy neighbor in a way that seeks to have humble and open conversations. So proud to call you my pastor.
Thanks Kortnee.
Thank you for going into the world. I love your heart to step down from the stage, and become real. Your love for people is apparent.
Thanks Matt.
I'm so proud of you for doing this that I'm sharing this article on my FB page. Pastor Brady ain't "scurred!"
Ha! Love it!
Praying you'll never get a big head over these awesome comments, but you are awesome! Can't wait to move to CO so we can attend NL every week! In the meantime I enjoy ur podcasts while living in Saudi Arabia!
Such a Bold & Godly decision to engage in such a tough issue.
I'm always encouraged in my pastoral work by you Brady. I hope to see you again soon at CMM I pray! #VisitKenyaAgain
Did you ask them if they would feel welcome at New Life? That's a biggie, I think. (We have to figure this out, don't we? The evangelical church can't be satisfied with where things stand with the gay community. )
I'm glad that my Pastor did this.
They are welcome at New Life. They had some big misconceptions about our church, but I hope I helped them feel welcome.
Thank you, thank you. It takes courage to do the right thing, it takes love to walk like Jesus. I see both demonstrated in this step you have taken.
Thats an awful lot of conversation for one hour. I think you are just another mega pastor trying to show how the depth of your brand of cookie cutter Christianity speaks to the world. Go back to your flashy Sun. spectaculars and leave the teaching to those who seek first His.Kingdom, love God, love others and make disciples.
Wow, James!! I am not sure we have met, but I would appreciate some grace from you until we do. Come hang out with me at New Life and then make your judgments. Peace and grace to you, my brother.
Wow! What a balanced message! Throughout my years as a Christian woman I have been "fed" so much in the way of extremes….mushy, gushy love that requires no commitment or legalistic, harsh discipline that leaves room for no grace and mercy. I am continually having old ways torn down and new truths built up through Gods word and the ministry of New Life Church. Now if you could just plant a church here in Pike County, Pa all would be well! Thanks Brady Boyd!
I didn't mean to offend or lack grace. It just seemed unusual that so many of your congregants were impressed that you would meet with 3 gay men. As a pastor of thousands i would think that you would meet with gays, liars,adulterer, gossips, and thieves regularly as they are the ones that Jesus sent believers to minister the gospel. I am blessed that God allows me to do so regularly and i try to do so with great grace,mercy, and love. As i stated earlier i didnt mean to offend just open your eyes and heart a little more!
Thank you Pastor Brady…for loving others like Jesus does. May the Church become a welcoming place for all…where "we are a people who normally would not mix" (Big Book AA pg 17). God is love and Love always wins!!
This is why I stay away from newlife. They are very friendly and community based but I can't help but think they would be welcome there to be converted over to heterosexuality. You can have the biblical marriage but legal marriage should be for everybody. Homosexuality is not a sin and neither is promiscuity. A woman or man can do what they want as consenting adults. You can have lots of sex or gay sex and live your life morally. Having coffee with these three gay men would have been amazing if they would have allowed you to accept things that you believe are sinful but are not. You are born gay in most cases. You do not accept these men. You view them as sinners but do not want them bullied. Calling someone a sinner is the start.
Thanks for your thoughts. We obviously disagree on what the Bible says about a lot of things, but I do appreciate that you read the blog and responded. Peace and grace to you.
James. I meet with people from all walks of life regularly. From time to time, I share what I learned in these meetings. We are a church deeply involved in our community and our eyes and hearts are fully open to the pain in our city and region. Thanks again.
It was a most pleasant as well as encouraging meeting. I felt we did learn much from each other and you display the truth of the term Christian. Yourself and Yvette are two of the kindest people I have met. For the record I at NO point felt any judgement from you; Your kindness and graciousness was notably true and sincere. Our discourse definitely showed that our differences are far outweighed by our similarities and though we may not see eye to eye on some things it was great that we could agree on the things we both see need to change! I will gladly stand with you in bringing an end to bullying and I am thankful you feel called to be a voice in the anti-bullying movement. Thank you again for an amazing coffee break and may God bless you and Yvette!
Being one of those three gay men that met with Mr. Boyd I must admit, the meeting was pleasant and surprisingly not adversarial. I would guess that I am the Doubting Thomas of the "three gay men" group and I, similar to the some of the other posts above do not think we will ever agree on what the bible says or means regarding me, as a man loving another man. I am also not sure where this new sense of collaboration or at the least new sense of communication is leading but, I am very pleased that we seem to have come to one consensus and that was it is so the time to STOP the WAR!
Those are my words and no one else's but I did take that "concept" away from the meeting and I think everyone agreed to it in theory anyhow. There are far too many LGBT individuals, both youth and adults that are killing themselves over the fight between "some" self-proclaimed Christians and the LGBT individuals.
I too am not sure where this will lead but I am pleased that we are working hard to build bridges in Colorado Springs with the goal of connecting, supporting and empowering LGBT individuals.
as a Christian gay male Im constantly reminding myself that Jesus was treated differently by his own people. Jesus was born by God the Father the Holy Spirit and was sent here to die for our sins. hatred from any perspective is in the form of evil. Love thy neighbor. Do unto others as youd have done to you. Remember also that we as humans have limited understanding of what The Holy Spirit is. If you feel hatred toward others its the Devil thats guiding your thoughts. PRAY for peace and love in all things human. We are only equiped with sinning ways. We are unable to be perfect. Thats why Jesus Is here for.
I don't see where you learned much of anything, except maybe how to be more smarmy and condescending.
Peace and grace.

Dear Pastor Boyd,
As a gay man who lost everything when he came out of the closet, including his friends, family and ministry, I appreciate your willingness to dialogue. It took me many years to get over the pain of losing it all when I told the truth but now I am an ordained minister again and comfortable with who I am and with my spirituality. As a pastor who is gay, I admittedly have some differences of opinion with you on a number of topics but I choose instead to look for those things we share in common and I think there is more that unites us than that divides us.
Please continue the dialogue.
May peace go with you,

Awesome corn! First time that I've used Cojita cheese at home - love it in the restaurants. The corn was really flavorful and fun to eat. Thanks GailAnn for another winner. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag.
Wow this corn is crazy good! This was our first experience with cotija cheese and we really liked it. The sour cream/mayo mix melted right into the hot corn and was a great background for the cheese. We used ground chipotle pepper for chili powder and heat all in one. Fantastic - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Red Potato Salad
Red Potato salad is a dish made from red potatoes, the versions of which vary throughout different regions and countries of the world. Although called a salad, it is generally considered a side dish, as it generally accompanies the main course. Red Potato salad is often served with barbecue, roasts, hot dogs, fried chicken, hamburgers and cold sandwiches. It is generally considered casual fare, and as such is typically served at picnics, outdoor barbecues, and other casual meals and events. Red Potato salad is a popular menu choice of cooks preparing food for a large number of people, because it is easily made in large quantities, it can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until needed, and requires inexpensive ingredients.

Revolutionary Guard
Iran offers pro-Palestinian activists escort through Israeli blockade
And the tensions are ratcheted even higher. Turkey's PM is talking about visiting the Gaza Strip (one would assume he'd appeal to Egypt for passage into the area rather than trying to run the blockade) and now Iran's Revolutionary Guard is being offered as an escort to any wanna-be blockade runners.
"The naval wing of the Revolutionary Guard is ready to assist the peace flotilla to Gaza with all its effort and capabilities," Khamenei's Revolutionary Guard spokesman Ali Shirazi stated. "If the Supreme Leader issues an order for this then the Revolutionary Guard naval forces will do their best to secure the ships," Shirazi said. "It is Iran's duty to defend the innocent people of Gaza."
A couple of points. This isn't coming from Ahmadinejad. This is coming from Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (the offer, per Reuters, was made today in an interview). So this should be viewed with much more credibility, since Khamenei is where the real decision making rests with the Iranian regime.
Second point – it wouldn't at all surprise me if Iran attempted such a thing. It would help their relations with the Arab world, it would divert attention to their favorite external enemy (besides the US) and, if they can provoke violence, further alienate Israel. It might also help them avoid really harmful sanctions. What are the lives of a few Revolutionary Guard naval forces with that sort of beneficial pay-off in the offing?
And make no mistake, Iran would be throwing their lives away. I'm not sure what the Revolutionary Guard thinks they could do alone against the entire IDF (air and naval forces), but my guess is if they opened fire on an Israeli vessel it would end up being a short, nasty and very one-sided battle affair. Having total air dominance of the area where the fight would take place, as the Israelis most likely would, tends to make the outcome almost pre-ordained – and perfect for Iran.
Depending on how the world (and media) views the outcome (and my guess is that in certain parts of the Arab world, the story would be written before the battle was ever waged) Israel might end up winning the kinetic battle handily and losing the broader media and opinion war.
Whether or not such an escort ever comes to pass, I think Iran sees a real win-win for them developing in this situation. Consequently, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them try to mount such an operation.

Environmental Factor, May 2009, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Nobel Laureate Oliver Smithies Gives Rodbell Lecture
By Robin Arnette
May 2009
The 2009 Dr. Martin Rodbell (http://www.med.unc.edu/pathology/faculty/biosketch-of-dr-oliver-smithies) Lecture Series speaker, Oliver Smithies, D. Phil., is truly a giant in the field of science. His lecture, "Turning Pages: From Gels to Genes," took place on April 14 and provided an overview of his impressive 61 years of research. Smithies is responsible for developing the gel electrophoresis technique that scientists routinely use today, and he shared the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2007/press.html) for work on the introduction of specific gene modifications in mice using embryonic stem cells.
Smithies (http://www.med.unc.edu/pathology/faculty/biosketch-of-dr-oliver-smithies) thrilled the audience with a presentation that included photocopies of entries from his research notebooks. Pages from his early days showed incredibly detailed writings and hand-drawn lab results. Smithies remarked, "You might wonder why there aren't any photographs. My lab didn't have a camera, so everything had to be sketched."
Smithies credited his undergraduate tutor at Oxford, Alexander "Sandy" Ogston, D.Phil., with teaching him how to do good science. One of Ogston's assignments was to have Smithies write an essay on metabolic processes involving energy-rich phosphates. The forward-thinking Smithies generated a diagram that illustrated these phosphates in a continuous cycle. Although Smithies' scheme was incorrect, he and Ogston found the biochemical error and jointly published the findings in Physiological Review in 1948. It was Smithies' first journal article and a portent of many ground-breaking discoveries.
Smithies' childhood dream was to become an inventor, and as he matured as a scientist, he found a way to merge both of his passions. During his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, he published a paper that used data generated from simple calibrated pipettes. However, he found that the accuracy of the results was greatly improved with the use of an automatic pipette that he built himself. The tool was good to within a quarter of a percent, but Smithies never published work about his invention. As a result, he missed an opportunity to revolutionize the manipulation of small volume samples when the adjustable micropipette (http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/19720/title/The-Original-Micropipette/) was patented in 1957. Smithies said, "In science, sometimes you advance because of a chance happening and sometimes you have an opportunity, and very occasionally you do something that you've planned."
Another chance advancement occurred during his first job at the University of Toronto. Smithies was looking for the precursor of insulin and utilized an electrophoresis technique using starch grains to separate proteins. This laborious method required that he cut the starch frames into 40 slices and do protein estimations for every slice - until he remembered something from his childhood.
"When my mother starched my father's shirt collars, she would cook the starch until it turned into a gooey liquid," Smithies recalled. "I thought if I make this starch into a gel, I could stain the gel instead of having to do 40 protein determinations." The improved starch gel electrophoresis separated molecules based on size and charge and is the basis for polyacrylamide and agarose gel electrophoresis.
Out of curiosity, Smithies used his new electrophoresis system to separate human serum. When he did, he saw 11 components rather than the 5 proteins known at that time to make up serum. More work on this project determined that some people had extra components in their blood, and that this difference was due to an inheritance of a single gene. When Smithies investigated further, he stumbled upon the predictable "crossing-over" or homologous recombination (HR) of genetic sequences. To demonstrate HR, Smithies built his own electroporation apparatus - using a baby bath tub, a test tube rack and off-the-shelf components - and transformed mammalian cells with an HR construct. He found one colony that had been altered, and it was the first demonstration of gene targeting.
Smithies said that many of his scientific successes occurred while working on Saturdays, a tradition he still continues. He said, "If a Saturday is a particularly good one, three things will happen: I'll do an experiment, take my wife to lunch and fly my glider."

Dear Abby: Mom sticks head in sand over teenage sex
Dear Abby: My 17-year-old niece, "Betty," was recently diagnosed with an STD. When her mother, my sister-in-law "Cynthia," found out she was horrified. She had ignored several family members - including me - who had tried to warn her that Nicki was sexually active and not taking proper precautions.

Half the time I never get it back, and if I do it's never in fresh, crisp condition.
Heloise: Double-check pill orders
Dear Heloise: After reading your hints to readers about double-checking prescriptions, I'd like to add one more: count your pills, especially if you get your prescriptions through a mail-order pharmacy in 90-day supplies. I do this on a regular basis now after once discovering that an order was eight pills short. That can add up to lots of money; or worse, you can lose track of the number of pills you have taken. - Sue, San Clemente, Calif.

Purpose of review: Methamphetamine (meth) use has been shown in the literature to be associated with high-risk sexual behavior for both homosexual (MSM) and heterosexual samples for over a decade. The use of Viagra has also been shown to be associated with high-risk sexual behavior. The purpose of this review is to update the record on Viagra and on the combination of Viagra and meth use.
Recent findings: There is now strong evidence that the use of Viagra is associated with HIV seroconversion in MSM. The combination of taking both meth and Viagra is strongly associated with much higher sexually transmitted disease and HIV rates. There is some evidence that Viagra is associated with insertive and meth is associated with receptive anal intercourse by men.
Summary: The evidence is strong to support the relationship between Viagra use and HIV seroconversion now that more sophisticated analyses have been done. The meth–Viagra recreational drug combination is of very high risk. More research is needed to generate longitudinal and event-level data that are necessary to answer fine-grained questions about drug combinations and the relationship with sexual behavior.

Tuesday, April 17, 2012
This past weekend was the first severe weather of the spring season. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms throughout the Midwest region were bearing down on us. Since I grew up in Oklahoma, this is not foreign to me. However, my children had grown up – to this point – in Las Vegas. Severe weather in their mind is 115 degrees of heat, heat, heat. To say they get nervous in thunderstorms is somewhat of an understatement. Especially my worrisome red-head.
The weather maps showed us to be on the edge of the tornado watch, but we were certain to have severe thunderstorms, possible hail and a very strong wind advisory. Of course, this was blowing through during the night which equalled no sleep for Mom and Dad with four children invading our bed, and our sleep.
The only reasonable solution….a camp out. We grabbed the sleeping bags, pillows, and whatever toys and computers they wanted to play with and down we went. They thought this was so cool to have all of us sleep in the basement. Except for craving my pillow-top, I did too.
We all slept undisturbed through the night, and the kids had a wonderful time. Down in the basement, we could not hear anything going on above us. We were in peace. We were together. It was near perfect. Before sleep, I sat in the floor and just watched each one doing his or her own thing, completely content. Safe. Secure.
Isn't that the perfect illustration of how God wants to work in our lives? We can be in the midst of the biggest storm of our life, threats of danger and situations creating fear and dread. But when we let God be in charge of our life, we can still find that safe, content and secure place. The place of peace that drowns out the loud thunder and ruckus going on around us.
I have found He is many things to me. My Savior. Provider. Redeemer. Lover of my soul. My Healer. Joy. And in the darkest times of my life, He is my Peace that surpasses all understanding. There will be storms to rage again, but I know where to hide. Or shall I say, with Whom. He is my Refuge.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah. Psalm 62:8
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Angelina Jolie Donates $50,000 In Honor Of Wounded Pakistani Teen Malala Yousafzai
Angelina Jolie has made a $50,000 donation towards girls' education in Pakistan in the name of a teenager shot by Taliban extremists.
The Hollywood actress recently wrote an article giving her response to the attack on 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, revealing she was horrified by the incident earlier this month which left the Pakistani schoolgirl fighting for her life in the hospital.
Yousafzai campaigned for girls' rights to education and wrote a diary about life under the Taliban for Britain's BBC, and now Jolie has thrown her support behind the issue by handing $50,000 to the Women in the World Foundation.
The money, donated through Jolie's charity initiative the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, will go towards setting up an award in Yousafzai's honor to provide funds for females fighting for education rights in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
A joint statement from Jolie and Women in the World Foundation founder Tina Brown reads, "We are sure you have been shaken by the news that last week, 14-year old Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban as she left school in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. Her crime was promoting girls' education in Pakistan..."
"As a response to Malala's bravery, girls across Pakistan, Afghanistan and the world are standing up and saying, 'I am Malala' - and this is our opportunity to show the same solidarity."
Kim Azzarelli, president of the Women in the World Foundation, adds, "Ms. Jolie's Education Partnership for Children of Conflict will contribute the first $50,000 to this effort. Let's do everything we can to support these girls in securing this most basic right."

For 20 years I have wanted to hear this. Way back in time Grandpa Jourgensen mentioned a Buck Satan project but it was constantly put on a back burner. Then in 1994 MINISTRY played 2 acoustic shows at Mountainview and gave us ataste of what Buck Satan could possibly sound like. I was most impressed considering how much more aggressive and heavy they had been increasingly becoming. I didn't think Al had a melodic, softer vocal side to him anymore. But then...nothing from Buck Satan. Then, 10 years later on the Evil Doer Tour, we could buy a Buck Satan t-shirt. The album had to be here soon. But then...nothing. Finally, in 2011 we are able to hear this and it's worth it. I'm not into country music at all but from what I have heard many of the tracks would blend seamlessly on a C&W radio station and that makes this CD standout. Songs like 'Quicker Than Liquor' (oh yeah!), 'Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man', 'Cheap Wine, Cheap Ramen' (really gets stuck in your head), 'Ten Long Years In Texas' (a personal favorite, especially the part about theing bears) and the shocker 'Take Me Away' all provide a great mixed-up variety of different country styles and keeps the album fresh and constantly in rotation in my home. My only complaint is the missing track "DIGNITY" and I only mention this because the pre-orders for the CD and the downloads never contained any track listings or
mention of an exclusive bonus track for the digital download. This should have come as a free mp3 with a CD pre-order purchase. Thirteenth Planet has done this many times in past pre-orders. But, aside from that, the music is great and I can't seem to listen anything else right now. "Go get 'em, boys"

WordPress 3.8 Dashboard Help
We had a chat in #wordpress-dev this morning (afternoon for some folks) about WordPress dashboard help (i.e. the component currently known as the help tab). Hopefully @siobhan will post back here with some notes because I'm not good with notes 😉 but I'm gathering some screenshots of help systems as I meander through my day here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3-2b7pMjiwXeEhpbzBNelFlUGc&usp=sharing
Feel free to share any you find and I'll add them to that Google Drive folder. My only real criteria is "what happens when I click help here" and then take a screenshot of whatever comes up.

Mr. Perry's argument seems to support the proposal for making false claims to copyright actionable.
Copyright does not reward mere exertion, only original creativity. It doesn't matter how much time and effort you spend reproducing and proof-reading an electronic copy (or any other kind of copy) of somebody else's original work--copyright doesn't reward you, it only rewards the original author of the work. You might think it is in the public interest for you to spend the time and energy re-publishing a public domain work, but the Copyright Act squarely rejects that approach, and so you shouldn't use copyright to leverage ownership and claim rewards.
You also misrepresent the original proposal. The proposal for making false copyright claims actionable did not suggest making them criminal. Like under the Lanham Act and under state false advertising laws, private individuals would have a civil cause of action against publishers who claim copyright falsely. Rather than the government prosuecting violators, the general public would be empowered to protect its own domain.
