It's important to emphasize this Christological dimension of Christian charity because many Christian agencies and even whole religious orders of consecrated men and women, originally founded on the basis of this original Christian inspiration, appear to have settled for a kind of Christian gloss over charitable work that is secular at its core. These religious communities have unwittingly allowed themselves to be guided by a kind of materialist framework for helping the poor. Such groups would do well to understand that Mother Teresa's words are not an expression of mere sentiment or outdated piety. They are a reflection of a core Christian idea, one that inspired those armies of missionaries who sought out "the lost"--so as to tend their material needs, certainly, but also to share the message of eternal life in Christ. Their great sacrifice, heroism, ingenuity and generosity flowed from their understanding of their mission—they were more than social workers; they were bearers of the eternal Good News.
They were bringing that good news to human beings whom they saw as more than a bundle of unmet needs. They knew that the poor they served had eternal souls more valuable than the most prize possessions of the rich. The English writer C.S. Lewis captures the spirit of their anthropology with a striking image: "Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."
When Christian institutions attempt to mitigate or compromise this understanding of their mission—often as the result of political pressure—they morph into shadowy versions of their former selves. Often instead of a passion for the Faith, a substitute passion comes into play—a passionate political agenda which attempts to bring the kingdom of God to earth through political means. Dissent if you like from any proposition of the Nicene Creed, but not from any piece of legislation cutting welfare budgets. That, to their minds, is the real heresy!
The reasons for the secularization of religious institutions are undoubtedly many, but among them one can identify the loss of confidence in the message of the Gospel in the face of secular social science. In the popular imagination one sees the budding of this mindset in Harvey Cox's The Secular City (1965), followed by other corruptions of orthodox Christianity by the secularist ideological premises that underlined, for example, most forms of Liberation Theology and Feminist Theology. These movements called into question the whole manner in which theology had been done over the preceding 2000 years, introducing a skepticism about traditional faith, which their adherents believed needed to be corrected by Marxist social analysis or feminist critiques of "patriarchy" in the church. What all this boiled down to in the pew was a sense that somehow religion had to "get with it" in order to 'be relevant' to what was going on in the culture.
By the 1990s, the decline of mainline Protestantism was obvious— and documented by Thomas Reeves in The Empty Church. The sad irony is that the very churches most willing to compromise in pursuit of being "hip" or "culturally relevant" were the very ones that suffered the greatest decline in membership among the young. The Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Methodist denominations, known in recent decades for their ardent pursuit of "relevancy," barely managed to retain 50 percent of their minor members into adulthood." The situation has not improved in the years since. Instead decline has spread to other churches, most noticeably the single largest religious body in America, the Catholic Church. Regular Mass attendance has fallen from more than 60 percent in 1960 to less than 30 percent today. Some 10 percent of all Americans are ex-Roman Catholics.
These figures are not of interest only to churchgoers; the decline in religious life has had pernicious effects on American culture more broadly. At the same time that most nuns were abandoning their habits and some priests their collars, when overtly Christian terminology and symbols were dropped from the names and descriptions of various Christian organizations in an attempt "not to alienate anyone," and when ministers began focusing their attention on liberal political causes rather than preaching the Gospel message of repentance and salvation, a widespread cultural decline also emerged, one marked by growing hostility toward parental, political, and religious authority; a rise in drug use; and skyrocketing rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births.
What I find remarkable is that this trend should surprise anyone. The heart of a healthy Judeo-Christian culture is that locus of unifying ideas that sustains and inspires respect for the divine and the beings made in His image. If core sets of ideas are somehow called into question or secularized, it follows that the culture will change.
That decline has been particularly hard on the poor in America. Climbing out of poverty and staying out of poverty involves a measure of good fortune, certainly, but it also requires hope and confidence, along with a sense of responsibility, a work ethic, honesty, temperance and all the other virtues that enable individuals to thrive. This isn't to say there aren't hard-working and virtuous poor people. Of course there are - I grew up with many of them. But when the institutions that teach, model and reiterate the importance of these virtues are weakened or absent, then, all other things being equal, poverty becomes easier to fall into and harder to climb out of.

Gaylebrity Reichen Lehmkuhl Hates The Haters And Is Gonna Be A Lawyer, Y'All!
As much as I will miss the illustrious and fabulous life of an 'A-list reality star,' being public, being subject to the small but progressive, loud and proud, "gay-hate and take-down-other gays" judgment machine, and being the target of gossip from the flawless corps of amazingly accomplished, secure, sassy, role model bloggers of the gay media hate-o-sphere… the dignity department of my soul tells me that it's time for a new direction.
I will, of course, also miss having the few worst moments of my life put on screen each week, with all 900 recorded hours of my best, positive, happy, benevolent, successful, charitable, fun, and loving moments vanishing, hidden as if they didn't exist, and swiftly deleted from any sort of public view whatsoever…
Believe it or not, I don't actually crave all that glitz and glamour, and I am heading to law school for a few years. I have some dreams I need to fulfill, and it's time."
—Pilot, actor, jewelry designer, calendar model, cologne inspiration and reality-TV cast member Reichen Lehmkuhl, discussing how he was forced at gunpoint to appear on The A List: New York, on Gay.net.
I'm…well…underwhelmed ;-)
Law school, eh? I'd let him adversely possess me anytime.
I'd also plead no contest to his ejectment action.
(OK – I'm done for real this time.)
An A-list celebrity? I realize that's the name of the show, but just because you stand inside a garage doesn't mean you're a car.
I think that he would need to take your 9/10ths of the law.
Reichen was not forced to appear on CAM4 masturbating for the world to see. He wasn't forced to appear on reality TV shows. Nobody held a gun to his head and said "Sing or I'll shoot". He made his own choices in life and they were more about finding fame and fortune than anything else.
That article makes him come off as a bitter queen who stayed too long at the ball and now that he's stepped on all the toes and barfed in every bush, is screaming for the cleanup crew to notice him and tell him he's pretty.
Oh, Reichen, one more thing. I know you're obsessed with beauty, but if you insult everyone you don't want to fuck, who doesn't want to fuck you and/or anyone without a sixpack and 5% body fat …well, you can't really be surprised when that comes back to bite you on the ass and they write unflattering things about you.
@NormdePlume: Now, that's funny.
said…. "
"a bitter queen who stayed too long at the ball and now that he's stepped on all the toes and barfed in every bush, is screaming for the cleanup crew to notice him and tell him he's pretty."
Probably my favorite comment read on here in the last month. LOL
OMG what a victim and narcissist! An A-list celebrity? In what universe has that happened? Reichen, stop the grandiosity and take a good look at yourself. Nobody is so disliked without sharing some responsibility in it. There are so many gay celebrities that are mostly beloved by the intelligent universe (and not only gay one) to for your whole "woe is me" crap to hold up in court. You will be a terrible attorney because victims don't make great fighters. The fact is that you represent everything that the male portion of the gay community is trying to overcome and a terrible role model for our youth to aspire to being like
when they get old.
@Sammy Schlipshit: >;-}
I love that he's behaving as though he is suddenly too dignified to be on reality television when in fact his show was cancelled. I wonder what kind of fourth-tier for-profit law school is going to admit this hot mess of a fame whore?
Law school. But isn't he, well…sorta stupid..?
This just in: Lehmkuhl to help fund University of Phoenix's new law curriculum. Aims to be first graduate.
This man can fly a fighter jet!!
Not surprised he has to tweet like that with all the hate on here.
At least he's good looking…what do you have?
Good Luck with the law studies!! Reichen!!
So, how many read the full article? This isnt even the full qoute. The press as a whole does tend to spotlight people's worst moments, and gloss over the positive good they choose to put in the spotlight.
Now I never watch that reality tv… I can see that shit going out to the clubs. Never heard of this guy until this article.
1. Was recruited to the AirForce Academy at 16
2. Five years active duty in AF
3. Post AF, spoke out for GLB in Military
4. Spokesman for the Servicemembers Leagal Defence Network (SLDN) an importment leagal support for GLB memebe in military now and during DADT.
5. Started jewlery line with procedes going to SLDN.
6. Starred in My Big Gay Italian Wedding, an off-Broadway production from A percentage of ticket sales promoted legalization of same-sex marriages in the US through Broadway Impact.
7. Reichen The Fragrance: Proceeds from the sale of this fragrance will be sent to AmfAR and the Gay and Lesbian Center of NYC and Los Angeles.
8. Autobiography of his AF experience under DADT.
Would like to know what all you haters out there are tring to do to be positive person in society and our community! I think that is his beef with the media. He is trying to positive things in and for your community and the media and those that follow their negative slate on peoples live rather than the good.
lol how fun is it to be that shallow you brainless mook? You're probably a gymrat too who stares at himself in the mirror all day. Flying aircraft is really not that difficult, all you need is training, just like with everything else. Unfortunately Lehmkuhl has trained more in the arts of being a self-absorbed douchebag, so he's much better at that than he is flying fighter jets.
Make sure to use aloe vera when you shave your chest so your pores don't clog and plague your chest with vanity zits, pretty boy.
@mlbumiller: @mlbumiller:
You seem to be missing the point entirely about why he is criticized. Anyone can have proceeds of their endeavors go to a charity but such generosity tends to be nullified when he:
a) Sells out by going on a reality show for purely self-promoting reasons
b) Makes a complete ass of himself on multiple occasions
c) Reveals how thin-skinned he truly is by flaming out in response to criticism
d) After bombing out of his F-list status as a reality show reject, he attempts a music career for, again, purely self-promoting reasons
e) Generalizes the entire blog culture by painting them as bitter haters when the vast majority of them have done nothing but expose the truth
f) Boasts about how attending law school will heighten his pedestal above all the "haters" i.e. becoming a classist prick
I'm sorry you were fooled by his once commonplace charitable efforts when they served no purpose other than to put him in a position to worship himself. You wouldn't know a shallow human being if you let it fuck you every night for 20 years.
my apologies, but who is this? I am not into TV, nor colognes so I must have missed this man's 15 Warhol minutes. I'd google him but so many here seem to know who he is…
As a lawyer and someone who doesn't even know who Reichen is… I can't give a shit.
He's really not very bright is he? Has he seen the career prospects for new law graduates lately?
His 15 minutes were up a long time ago…
You bitches are going off! LMAO! I'm having my coffee and this is like reading a good book.., and we all know, "reading is fundamental!"
Yawn……….Oh, sorry, I just get so bored when people like Reichen come in here under different names. I especially love the "I never watch reality TV line" That was a nice touch.
Again, sorry if people didn't like you after seeing you on the show. The cameras can only work with what you give them. And if it's any consolation, I think you're still more popular than that girl who was on the show "Pretty Wilde"
@Aidan8: Try a laxative.
Great- as if the legal profession doesn't have enough of a stigma (and yes I am a lawyer). He does realize that the bar exam does not involve an actual "bar" right? No drinks, no go-go stands, no paper cuts on your weenie from too-crisp dollar bills in ur
The thing that gets me is when half wits go on reality televison, which documents the reality that they are indeed half wits, and then are all bummed out they look like half wits – for which they blame editing. I watched a few eps of that show and law degree is a stretch – most of them look like they couldn't spell G.E.D. let alone obtain one.
As for the boinking a boy band member, flying a plane, having a company name a fragrance after you, having a ghost writer right a book about you, having a jewlery maker make jewlery with your name on it, getting bit parts in movies… all great that the proceeds go to charities, but this are all ancillary to the fame-whore aspect. Those activities get press which is the end goal, just as the A-List show was – and the "proceeds to charity" is the nice "well im doing something good with the money so my egotistical actions are ok".
You want to impress me? Shut up and disapper and show me that you really can turn your back on this attention you pretend to despise. Now what I want to know is where is poor Rodney?? Does he have his own telethon yet for whatever he had? Single-Cell Brain-e-mia? Oh wait, Star magazine says he is in rocket science school.
@Chris: Assuming that he knows how to get on teh internets.
Well, Reichen can say all he wants about his "haters". But at least he should be thankful that someone is paying attention to him. I don't love nor hate Mr. Lehmkuhl, I just really don't give two piece of horse's crap about his life or "career". Even if he died tomorrow, I may not even spend more than 10 mins thinking about him. I'm sure majority of us are feeling the same, too.
I can't sympathize with him at all. If you want people to know you for the good that you do, then why the hell do you join a reality show, when you know damn well from all of the 100s of reality shows back then that it's gonna be about making a spectacle of yourself?
i never heard of the man until this article. About making fool of himself on realality show… isnt that the point of the producers fo the such shows? I can think of a lot of people in the public eye that have done so.
Yawn……….Oh, sorry, I just get so bored when people like Reichen come in here under different names. I especially love the "I never watch reality TV line" That was a nice touch.
Again, sorry if people didn't like you after seeing you on the show. The cameras can only work with what you give them. And if it's any consolation, I think you're still more popular than that girl who was on the show "Pretty Wilde"
He doesn't crave fame and fortune, and he's going to release a public statement telling you how much he doesn't need the attention. I mean, only a moron could buy this.
In the world of gay celebrity, Reichen stands out uniquely as someone who appears to believe he deserves praise, accolades, adoration, and, yes, fame and fortune, for, well, being good looking. He can't sing, but he sings. He can't act, but he acts. Now he's doing something to rise above it all – going to law school – which plenty of (gay) people have done much earlier in life and to much success without thinking they are a martyr. In the end, Reichen has no demonstrated talent in any of these areas, but he IS very good looking. Apparently, his looks are supposed to keep us interested in his life and force the collective gay community to politely sidestep the fact that his attempts at various vehicles for fame and fortune have been misguided. Now we're supposed to buy that fame and fortune were never important to him. Apparently getting naked on television and being on a reality show were huge priorities in themselves, instead of the attention they would generate. Get serious already.
It's a sad commentary that looks in general, with specific emphasis in the gay community, carry that much weight. There are good looking guys. The best ones take their aesthetic gifts in their stride. Others think you should worship at their feet for it. Take a guess at which ones I, and most other people, prefer.

Century Marks
Release defended: Jim Swire's daughter Flora was one of the passengers who died aboard Pan Am flight 103 when it was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland, by terrorists in December 1988. But Swire has praised the Scottish government for releasing from prison Abdelbaset Ali al Megrah Megrahi, the Libyan man known as the Lockerbie bomber. "I am a Christian," said Swire. "So I would hope that, even if I was convinced that Megrahi was guilty, my Christian compassion and forgiveness would extend to wanting to see him die with his family around him in Libya." Megrahi was returned to Libya because he has terminal prostate cancer (ENI).

The bicycle is a simple, affordable invention that changed the way people get around. Wherever you go in the world, you'll find men, women and children riding bicycles for transportation or recreation.
Bikes help commuters speed through congested cities, they bring families together for sunny afternoons in parks, and they let great athletes test the limits of human-powered speed.
Since bikes are made up of beautifully balanced geometric shapes, it's no wonder they appear frequently in art. The bike has inspired artists as diverse as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marcel Duchamp and Pee-Wee Herman.

KaleidosCOpe Storytelling Watch and read the stories of how grantees are improving health and health care in Colorado. Learn more »

DENVER — The Denver Food Access Task Force released a report titled "Healthy Food for All: Encouraging Grocery Investment in Colorado" during today's Denver City Council, Safety, Education & Service Committee meeting. The report outlines policy recommendations to improve access to affordable, healthy food and stimulate economic development in Denver and throughout Colorado.
A 2009 report from The Food Trust titled "The Need for More Supermarkets in Colorado" found that access to supermarkets stocked with healthy, affordable food is not evenly distributed in Denver and Colorado. Funded by the Colorado Health Foundation, the report also found that low-income communities are more likely to lack access to supermarkets and that these communities have a high incidence of obesity and other diet-related diseases. According to the 2010 Colorado Health Report Card, Colorado's rank for childhood obesity dropped from third healthiest in 2003 to 23rd in 2007, when 14 percent of the state's children were classified as obese. Meanwhile, Colorado's obesity rate has nearly doubled in the past 15 years, according to a report from the Trust for America's Health; one in five Coloradans are obese and 56.2 percent are either overweight or obese.
In response to these findings and to address this pressing public health issue, Denver's Department of Environmental Health, the Colorado Health Foundation and The Food Trust (a national food-access nonprofit), convened the Denver Food Access Task Force, a partnership of leaders from the retail food industry, state and local government, public health, economic and community development sectors, and nonprofit foundations.
In the current report, "Healthy Food For All: Encouraging Grocery Investment in Colorado," the task force calls upon city, state and philanthropic organizations to work together to improve the health of Denver's residents and stimulate economic development through the following:
The task force has pledged to work with key public and private partners in Denver and throughout the state to implement the recommendations, improving food access and encouraging economic development. "If we work together, we can make healthy, affordable food available to all," said Howard Gerelick, co-chair of the task force who also is the vice president of real estate for Safeway's Denver, Phoenix and Texas divisions. "Our task force is committed to collaborating with all potential partners to ensure the successful implementation of these recommendations and improved access to healthy food across Colorado."
Kathy Underhill, task force co-chair and Hunger Free Colorado executive director, underscored this commitment. "Supermarkets are a vital component for promoting healthy eating," Underhill said. "They provide access to healthy, affordable food for our residents while creating jobs and economic development."
Already, there is widespread support for implementing the recommendations from public, private and government entities. "The recommendations presented by the Denver Food Access Task Force mark an important step toward our pledge to support and grow local business and, more importantly, to promote access to healthy foods in every neighborhood," said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock.
"Access to healthy foods for all Coloradans, especially the underserved, is a top priority for the Colorado Health Foundation," said Anne Warhover, president and CEO of the Foundation, which funded the task force's report. "The recommendations outlined in the report will help drive our future funding decisions as we work to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation."
About the Colorado Health FoundationThe Colorado Health Foundation works to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation by increasing the number of Coloradans with health insurance, ensuring they have access to quality, coordinated care and encouraging healthy living. The Foundation invests in the community through grants and initiatives to health-related nonprofits that focus on these goals, as well as operating medical education programs to increase the health care workforce. For more information, please visit www.ColoradoHealth.org.
About the City and County of Denver Environmental Health The Department of Environmental Health is responsible for providing environmental oversight and management, as well as public health promotion and outreach for the City & County of Denver. Our mission is to promote healthy communities, and with our partner Denver Public Health, we provide essential public health services for Denver's residents. For more information, please visit www.denvergov.org/deh
About the Food Trust The Food Trust strives to make healthy food available to all. Working with neighborhoods, schools, grocers, farmers and policymakers, we've developed a comprehensive approach that combines nutrition education and greater availability of affordable, healthy food.

Brett Lee: Killing 'em softly
Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee, born on 8 November 1976 in Wollongong, New South Wales had an injury-plagued career; but still finished as his country's fourth-most successful bowler, with 310 wickets in 76 Test matches. Lee, who was a handy bat down the order, also took 380 wickets in One-Day Internationals and 28 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals.
At his best, Lee was one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket apart from being a useful lower-order batsman.
On 13 July 2012, Lee retired from all forms of international cricket after a calf injury cut short his tour of England with Australia's ODI team.

SGV Shootout Fires up Saturday

The Annual SGV Shootout is set for this Saturday, July 12, at Arroyo. It could turn out to be the most competitive ever.
"Should be fun to watch," said Arroyo football coach Jim Singiser on the line up he has put together for this Saturday's Shootout. "For what we are trying to accomplish, I think this is the best compilation of schools and talent we have ever had. Absolutely a diverse collection…And before the bloggers from the east San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire attack…Yes, I know Upland and Charter Oak would beat us. Laugh out loud."
Participating Teams:
Maranatha, Monrovia, Diamond Bar, Los Altos
Buena Park, Whittier Christian, Crescenta Valley, Covina, Pasadena Marshall, South El Monte, La Puente, Arroyo, Rowland, Rosemead, Northview, Bell Gardens, Keppel, Mt. View, El Monte, Bassett, Gabrielino, Azusa, Arcadia, Diamond Bar, and Montebello.
The "shootout" is a seven-on-seven passing tournament between schools. Scoring occurs as it would in a regular football game but there are no designed running plays. Defenses score as they would in a standard game but also earn points interceptions.
Arroyo is not only the host school but the Knights are out to defend their SGV Shootout title. Last year the Knights knocked out Diamond Bar in the Final. It was the second time in the history of the Tourney that Arroyo has won it all.
Tournament starts at 9:00 a.m. Championship game is at 4:30 p.m.

Are All Women Liars?
she was a whack-jobWhen you describe how Shannon gets off on her various states of undress, one thing becomes very obvious to me — she's a flasher. This girl's in the wrong place — she should be working one of the Vegas strip clubs. She sure as heck doesn't belong in church! To you Psych majors, when you fall for a knockout, you have to expect her to get away with murder.
Know why Shannon will never change the baby's nappy? Because she knows you're going to do it! Why should she lift a manicured finger when she can get some flunkey to do the dirty work for her?
Shannon's behavior isn't confusing at all, Ben. The girl's a whack-job. And like I tell you guys up front: no Mercenaries, no Feministas, and no whack-jobs. You're opening yourself up to a lifetime of misery if you don't heed my warning on this.
standards were set too highDude, the reason you were disappointed in Shannon is because you were expecting too much. This babe didn't have what you thought she had. You were okay with her for four months, but then her real self came out. And you should have said to yourself, "If I want to be in love with a flasher and I want to get up at 2 a.m. to feed the baby, then I'd stay with this girl." But you have to think of the cost.
Still, you wasted five whole months, like I said before. That's five months you can never have back. But it could have been worse if you had refused to open your eyes.
But hey, why didn't you trust Shannon? All she does is get bombed and pass out after 15 shots of Jack Daniel's! Gee, what's so bad about that? After all, she's got a bunch of guys rubbing her arms and forehead when she goes unconscious, but they're just trying to bring her around — at least I think that's what they're doing!
be happy you dumped herNevertheless, I want to award you the Congressional Medal of Honor for not caving in to Shannon's pursuit at the bitter end and having the guts to get your phone number changed. You know how many guys wouldn't have done that? You know how many desperadoes would have turned right around and walked straight back into Shannon's arms?
To make sure this never happens to you again, buddy, memorize "The System" and then get out after four months! Sure, people can change, but with this girl you're not just talking about the way she applies her lipstick. She's got major problems that need attention, starting with her binge drinking.
But one essential thing we never mentioned is that this girl has to want to change. If she ever gets to teach a course on the Bible or give a speech on modesty and decorum, she has to be able to do it with a straight face. Otherwise, like my cousin Sal "The Fish" Love says, "Fuh-get about it, baby!"
Remember, guys: The prettier they are, the easier it is for them to hide their flaws.

The World Trade Organization Rules Against Us
Since its creation in 1995, the WTO has been a major obstacle in America's ability to stay competitive in the world market. Our nation has become handcuffed— forced to increase free trade with countries that have few to no laws regarding workers' rights, child labor or environmental protection. This means these countries can manufacture at a vastly lower rate, and American companies will have no choice but to do business with them in order to stay competitive.
The United States government has tried on countless occasions to protect our industries, but the World Trade Organization (WTO) regularly rules against these appeals. In fact, the WTO rules against the U.S. in nine out of every 10 cases—requiring changes to laws, and damaging the American economy.
There are many examples of WTO rulings against the U.S.:
*In 2002, Brazil challenged U.S. federal subsidies on its imported Brazilian cotton. The WTO ruled against the U.S., and eventually gave Brazil permission to impose tariffs totaling nearly $830 million on American made products such as cars, textiles, electronics and media.
*In 2010, the U.S. attempted to ban uninspected chicken products from China that may be harmful or toxic. The WTO ruled against the U.S., stating that the ban was not in accordance with its regulations, and putting U.S. consumers in harm's way.
*In 1995, Venezuela challenged U.S. regulations on imported gasoline. The WTO ruled against the U.S., preventing them from protecting their own oil manufacturers.
*In 2004, two Caribbean states challenged U.S. prohibitions on cross-border gambling, a ban put in place to protect against money laundering and other dangerous exposures. The WTO ruled against the U.S., stating the ban breached a global deal which liberalized trade in services — in this case being online casinos.
*In 2010, anti-dumping duties imposed by the U.S. on Brazilian orange juice were challenged. The WTO ruled against U.S., opening the door for around $400 million dollars in Brazilian orange juice to be shipped there each year.
As long as the United States is ruled by the WTO, these problems are not going to go away. U.S. leaders need to request an emergency timeout from these trade pacts, a procedure for which the WTO has a clearly established process. Also, either Congress or the president could initiate an end to the United States' WTO membership altogether within a mere six months.
America needs to take action immediately in order to stop the WTO from holding its hammer above the entire nation's head.

A Chinese man caught smuggling ivory through Nairobi airport has been sentenced to seven years in prison unless he pays a £140,000 fine. It is the first conviction of its kind under a tough new wildlife law designed to stem the slaughter of wild animals.
The sentence is in stark contrast to the case of a former US Defence attaché who was arrested at Nairobi airport last year with 23 ivory ornaments and fined just £225. "That was just a slap on the wrists," said Paul Udoto, a spokesman for Kenya's Wildlife Service. Colonel David Thorean McNevin was arrested last

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The city is launching a new war against rats.
It will target so-called "rat reservoirs," which are areas where rodent populations survive and thrive, such as subways, sewers and city parks.
One City Council member described the rat problem in the Manhattan Valley neighborhood as "an epidemic."
The city will hire new inspectors and spend $600,000 for rat indexing to track and reduce the rat population, WCBS 880's Paul Murnane reported.
It's welcome news for many city residents, who claim rats — some the size of small dogs or cats — are running rampant in their neighborhoods.
"When I walked out the other morning and there were like six rats running around," one Manhattan Valley resident said. "I thought, 'You ever get use to this?' But you don't."
"I see about 20 a day," a man in Washington Heights told 1010 WINS' John Montone.
One woman said rats have infested her building on 154th Street, where one rodent bit a neighbor's daughter.
"They're taking over, it's madness," she said.
A sanitation worker said he has to shake and kick bags of garbage to scatter the rats for fear they'll jump up and bite him.

Museum of Contemporary Art
220 East Chicago Avenue
Urban China: Informal Cities
October 16, 2010-april 3, 2011
This fall, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, presents Urban China: Informal Cities, an exhibition that draws parallels between how cities across the globe, from Chinese cities to Chicago, grow and transform. This retrospective of the only magazine devoted to issues of urbanism published in China, marks Urban China's first U.S. commission. With its unique multidisciplinary inquiry into the rapid state of change in China — employing diagrams, photographs, texts, and archive of artifacts and images — Urban China has become a databank recording the fastest urbanization in history. Utilizing a network of correspondents and collaborators around the world, Urban China has become a research network, think tank, documentary archive, and tool for artistic production and urban activism.
For the interactive Chicago presentation, the magazine's visionary language of display explodes out from the pages onto the walls, with space available for the public to comment on the issues presented. Comprised of an interactive image database; massively scaled interactive wall graphics; a suite of scavenged "readily remade" objects; a re-creation of ad hoc refugee housing; and a retrospective of past magazines, the installation fuses interrelated elements to better understand common issues between Chinese cities, Chicago, and cities across the globe. The wall graphic includes Urban China magazine's Editor-in-Chief Jiang Jun's research of historical and contemporary urbanization in China, Chicago's Mas Studio's Iker Gil's history of the urbanization of Chicago, and texts from experimental architect Kyong Park, and director of New York's Skyscraper Museum's Carol Willis. The presentation highlights the dynamics of urbanism as metropolitan cities adapt to multiple influences, including re-urbanism and informal transformation. Also included are objects and remnants of American manufacturing in China, which suggests how informalism can be used as a strategy for individuals.
Urban China uses "informalism" as a catchall term that combines notions of the informal, or underground economy, with popular vernacular modes of remaking objects, buildings, and lives. The idea of the informal plays against the rigorous order with which Chinese cities have historically been planned and policed, as well as US cities which historically have been planned such as Daniel Burnham's "Plan of Chicago." It also refers ideas, places, and objects, which are repurposed from their intended use, such as a basketball made in a factory in China used as an ad-hoc water bucket. By understanding and strategically utilizing informal systems — spatial, economic, and utilitarian — Urban China proposes that individuals can harness informalism to reconfigure or strategically subvert the highly structured nature of urban spaces.
By looking at how cities can and have transformed, Urban China is engaged in making what is often perceived as invisible, visible. The exhibition provides an analysis of Chicago's and urban China's growth through history to highlight the similarities within the differences of all cities. The exhibition also offers space in the gallery for discussion where people can respond to questions about urbanization, informalism, and collectivism. With half of the world's population living in urban areas, Urban China aims to offer processes and interpretative strategies to better understand China and Chicago's socio-political conditions, and ways for individuals and groups to have more direct agency upon where and how they live in the global world.
Urban China magazine, founded in 2005, has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and under the guidance of its Editor-in-Chief Jiang Jun, has received accolades from around the world. Jiang Jun (b. 1974, Hubei, China) is a designer, editor, and critic and has been the Editor-in-Chief since 2005. His work had been presented in numerous exhibitions, including Get It Louder (2007), the Guangdong Triennial (2005), and the Shenzhen Biennials (2005 and 2007), among others. Jun has lectured at universities around the world, and is now on the faculty of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Guangzhou, China.
This exhibition is part of the Three M Project, a consortium of the MCA, Chicago, with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, with the purpose of stimulating the creation of new work by artists not yet well-known in the United States. This exhibition is organized by the New Museum and curated by Benjamin Godsill. The MCA presentation is coordinated by MCA Associate Curator Tricia Van Eck.

39-76 of 490 in Antigua
Antigua Vacation Rentals
The Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda is actually made of up of three islands: Antigua, Barbuda and Redonda. Antigua is the most heavily visited of the nation's islands, and it is where most of the development and tourism infrastructure has been built. Barbuda is sparsely inhabited, offering miles and miles of unspoiled, pristine beaches that are perfect for those looking to escape the hubbub and crowds of Antigua. Redonda is a small, uninhabited island filled with natural beauty, which you can tour by boat.Some of the major attractions in Antigua and Barbuda include:-St. John's: The nation's capital city has a vibrant, welcoming island vibe, excellent restaurants and exciting nightlife. It's also a fascinating destination in its own right, and taking a tour of its historical sites and curiosities is an eye-opening way to spend a day. If you're looking for Antigua spas, St. John's is an excellent place to begin your search.-Half Moon Bay: This pink sand beach is considered one of the most beautiful in the country, dotted with rocky cliffs, lush palm trees, and crashing blue waves. This is the ideal setting for an Antigua wedding or honeymoon.-Devil's Bridge: A natural landmark of a breed you won't find anywhere else, Devil's Bridge consists of sprawling arches of limestone. It is located on the east cost of the island of Antigua.-Nelson's Dockyard National Park: This historic preserve overlooks the eastern dockyards of Antigua and is home to Shirley Heights, a community of fortifications dating back to the nation's colonial era. This area is a common embarking point for Antigua sailing excursions. -Stingray City: One of the nation's most intriguing nature preserves, Stingray City is named for the sea creatures that populate its placid waters and offers an up-close look at the tropical wildlife that abounds in the islands. Accommodations in Antigua and Barbuda are plentiful, but for the most relaxing and enjoyable visit, consider a vacation rental. Offering you more room and privacy than you'd get at a hotel, and often for a lower price, beach villas, condos and rental homes are perfect for couples, families and group vacations to this charming Caribbean nation.You can go island-hopping fairly easily from Antigua and Barbuda. Flying or cruising by sea to destinations like Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Nevis, and nearby Guadeloupe is both easy and affordable.

Watch Evanescence's Amy Lee Perform on a Hello Kitty Keyboard
Loudwire's Hello Kitty Sessions continue with a special performance from Evanescence's Amy Lee.
Loudwire's Hello Kitty Sessions continue with a special performance from Evanescence's Amy Lee.
Amy Lee is back with a new animated video for her children's song, 'If You're a Star.'
The Evanescence vocalist takes on Chris Isaak's 1995 single and fulfills her desire to release this long in the works cover.
Amy Lee continues her series of YouTube cover songs by taking on Led Zeppelin's 'Going to California.'
A big congratulations to Evanescence singer Amy Lee, who gave birth to a baby boy on Monday (July 28).
In the very beginning of 2014, news broke that Evanescence singer Amy Lee was suing Wind-up Records for $1.5 million in unpaid royalties, along with other allegations. However, it seems like part of Lee's struggle with Wind-up has come to an end, as the rock vixen just announced that she is finally a "free and independent artist."
When Amy Lee announced in late 2012 that Evanescence would go on hiatus, her fans wondered what her next project would be. Now, we know the biggest one of all, as the singer has revealed in a new tweet to fans that she's pregnant with her first child!
Evanscence have been on an extended break, and recent news broke that frontwoman Amy Lee is suing her longtime record label for more than $1 million. But that doesn't mean Lee is not making any new music these days. The singer tells MTV that she's currently working on a film score for an upcoming movie.
Evanescence singer Amy Lee is reportedly suing Wind-Up Records for more than $1 million over unpaid royalties and other allegations, according to TMZ. Lee apparently claims that Wind-Up attempted to sabotage Evanescence by appointing the band under-qualified promoters who lacked useful ideas.
In past 'Hottest Rock Babe' challenges, we've pitted Babe vs Babe in a round-robin tournament of sorts. This time, we're pulling out all of the stops. Welcome to the ROCK BABE (R)Octogan!!! 8 go in...one comes out. May the Hottest Rock Babe win!
In the last 'Hottest Rock Babe' challenge, Amy Lee's (Evanescence) used her international fan base to bump off Lzzy Hale (Halestorm). This time, Amy won't have that advantage, as she goes up against an Italian metal goddess, Christina Scabbia of LaCuna Coil!
After a series of comical photos were posted to Seether's Facebook page, the band shared a couple of really unusual images (above) where frontman Shaun Morgan had swapped faces with ex-girlfriend and Evanescence singer Amy Lee.

SAN FRANCISCO -- They've lost limbs, but they have not lost their competitive edge.
From martial arts to rock climbing, amputees are taking on new challenges thanks to technology and specialized prosthetic limbs.
"After you go through some really hardcore tragedy of losing a limb you feel displaced again you know. You don't feel like you belong and you're different. So, martial arts got me back into what i love to do," said Carlos Gonzalez, amputee athlete.
At the UC San Francisco human performance center, amputees are testing out the latest prosthetics.
The athletes are reaching new fitness goals thanks in large part to technology that helps their prosthetics feel more like part of their body.
Specialized training is also helping amputees reach new heights.

Police say that Dunn had a 0.196 blood alcohol level, well above the state's 0.08 legal limit.
Dunn, who also killed passenger Zachary D. Hartwell, was driving at more than 130 mph when he crashed the Porsche into a guardrail near West Goshen, Pennsylvania.
MTV reports that Dunn and Hartwell left Barnaby's of America, a bar in West Chester, shortly before the accident. A bar employee told the cable network that Dunn "didn't seem intoxicated," although the toxicology report obviously indicates otherwise. No other illegal substances were found in Dunn's bloodstream.

Five Eat To Win At Market's Pie Contest
By Mary Helen Miller • Jun 25, 2012
It was a good old-fashioned American competition at the Chattanooga Market on Sunday: a pie eating contest.
The market sponsored contests throughout the afternoon as part of its blueberry festival. Fork and Pie, the new restaurant and bar on Market Street, donated blueberry pies for the occasion. The first contest started at 11:30 a.m., and the competition was fierce.

I have this idea that people do things like watch TV or sit around in their jammies reading books on a Saturday, or have friends over, or even leave their house once in a while for a non-grocery-or-school-related-activity, but based on my own experience the past few months, I'm dubious. We just finished a 23-week-long construction inside the space in which we live and work (and the space, crazily, didn't get an inch bigger, it was just torn apart and put back together to feel bigger and work better for us). In the midst of that, I somehow created my second booth for quilt market, and even managed to get away to Houston (unless I dreamed it). So, even though it seems like years later, I want to take a moment to document that experience and thank everyone who helped me.
I went to market, not only to show off my new fabric line Ruby Star Sparkle, but to talk about my new book, Ruby Star Wrapping!
Of course I brought my latest Gelaskins with me, including a new design based on my vinyl prints from last spring. (Look out for typewriters coming soon!)
I'm so fortunate to have such great friends to help sew samples for Market. Gina Pina made up a bunch of projects from my book, including some aprons that roll up to hold your gifts (see the little yellow echino bundle under the tree), several casserole covers and a handful of Melody-didn't-mean-to-make-it totes. One of the casserole covers doubled as a perfect sticker basket. Sara of Sew Sweetness, who is famous at market for her amazing dresses, made a fabulous Serendipity Studio Zoe dress (those pleats!). Ali, who also helped sew for my spring booth, made up some rollerskate floor pillows and a couple of crocheted tea towels that reminded everyone of their grandmother in the best way. And then there was Jen. Jen not only whipped up a delightful apron, and a couple of piped pillows, and an amazing quilt, but she also threw a weekender in, just because she can. These ladies are amazing.
This is my new line of crocheted trims for Kokka!
...and I'll leave you with this. It's the little details that count.
P.S. Thanks, Steffani, for the awesome tape measure!

Republican Congressman Skinny-Dipped in the Sea of Galilee
A group of Republican lawmakers on a trip to Israel last year jumped into the Sea of Galilee for a late-night swim, during which one congressman swam naked.
The incident, which took place on August 18, 2011, was first reported on Sunday by Politico.
The late-night swim, which followed an evening of dinner and drinking in Tiberias, involved over 20 people, including families and staff members of the congressmen, according to Politico, citing unnamed sources.
Most swam in their clothes, or partially clothed, but Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) completely disrobed, according to the report.
The 36-year-old first-term Republican, in a statement to Politico, said: "A year ago, my wife, Brooke, and I joined colleagues for dinner at the Sea of Galilee in Israel. After dinner I followed some Members of Congress in a spontaneous and very brief dive into the sea and regrettably I jumped into the water without a swimsuit.
"It is my greatest honor to represent the people of Kansas in Congress and [for] any embarrassment I have caused for my colleagues and constituents, I apologize."
In comments to the Kansas City Star, Yoder added that it was dark when the group went for the swim and he was only in the water for about 10 seconds.
The other congressmen who went into the lake, according to the unnamed GOP sources in the Politico article, were Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.) and his daughter; Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) and his wife; and Reps. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.), Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) and Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.).
Some of the congressmen said they entered the lake because of its religious significance; others said they were cooling off and that alcohol may have contributed to their decision to jump in.
The Sea of Galilee has religious significance in Christianity, as it is where Jesus is said to have walked on water.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the most senior GOP lawmaker on the Israel trip, did not take part in the late-night swim. According to Politico, Cantor censured the 30 lawmakers the morning after the incident, saying they were distracting from the mission of the trip. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (R – Ohio), told Politico that Cantor "handled the situation swiftly and appropriately."
The FBI investigated whether any inappropriate behavior occurred, but no formal allegations of wrongdoing were leveled. Yoder's chief of staff told Politico that "neither Congressman Yoder, nor his staff, have been interviewed by the FBI."
Yoder is running unopposed for re-election in Kansas' 3rd District.

The only reason Obama hasn't visited is because they might realize he actually *can't* walk on water.
I forgive you.
There are worse problems in this world.
"…others said they were cooling off…" we're talking about sweat here. FYI, persperation has the same properties as urine. The Sea of Galilee aka the Kinneret, Lake of Gennesaret, or Lake Tiberias supplies drinking water to one third of Israel; so, all of those who interred the water are guilty of polluting public waters and should be fined.
FYI, nearby is the Eshkol Water Filtration Plant which is the fourth largest water filtering plant in the world. It filters and cleans the water from the Kinneret before it reaches your house. Thank G-d for the Eshkol Water Filtration Plant.
Don't worry Kevin, you got my vote.
Had Democrats done this it would be all over the internet.
I'm seeing this all over the internet.
I do agree with one commenter that there are more important issues.
I do agree with one commenter that there are more important issues.
He can't be fair, he's a Jew who is a repub!
well at least he has one vote (assuming you live in his district otherwise you would be committing voter fraud) Even kevin is not going to vote for himself
James Lapin – almost a year after it happened! If it were dems/progressives, it would hit the internet with in seconds and be on fox news within hours!
James Lapin – willard and ryan are anti Jewish and have NEVER done a single thing to help Jews or Israel!
While it was a stuoid thing they did, I think only Yoder and cantor should be punished! Yoder should be on an Israeli watch list and never be allowed to vist. It may be harder to keep cantor out, but I would try. cantor is a terrible Jew and is the type of Jew who causes anti-semitism!
Have you become anti skinny dipping?
Absopositively NOT. I am just against anti semetic sob repub/tea baggers fouling up Israel!

Skip to comments.Mitt Romneys Assault on the Grassroots at the RNC
Posted on 08/26/2012 10:26:25 AM PDT by Bigtigermike
Mitt Romneys legal advisor, Ben Ginsburg, has been attacking grassroots activism within the Republican Party during the Convention of the Rules Committee that met Friday prior to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL according to a source at the meeting. I was told late yesterday that one of the amendments that he offered and was passed by the committee changes the RNC rules so that the presumptive nominee and the state party can decide who the delegates are that can go to the national convention. The language of the rule states that the presidential nominee and state party can disavow any delegate.
These are essentially the people who write the platform. Think about the implications of this: If the nominee is anti-life, he or she, can essential disavow any pro-life delegate. If he is in favor of same-sex marriage, he can disavow those delegates. This gives the nominee too much influence over the party and it diminishes the grassroots who choose the delegates to send. It is a top-down approach which favors the establishment.
(Excerpt) Read more at caffeinatedthoughts.com ...
If he is doing all this now, his attempt to destroy conservatism from within the party is going to be even more aggressive when he gets into office. It's insanity to think he or the damage he will do can be stopped once he gets into office.
Yeah, I'd like to see the source for this. I met Ben Ginsburg at a conference that the entire purpose of the meeting was to get the grassroots more established for GW's second run. Best made plans and all that, but this still doesn't add up.
And, guarantee ourselves a monster of some kind will be in the White House for eight, long years.
That might be what the country can't withstand.
It seems to me that this guy's thoughts just might be too caffeinated...............let's don't get too excited about it yet.
If we get mad at Romney, then who do we vote for?.....
Totally predictable. Romney chased the few remaining social conservatives out of the Massachusetts GOP. He'll do the same to the national party. Anyone who votes for him is voting for that.
Why are sane conservatives not going to vote or going to vote to put obama back in the White House. The formation of a conservative third party sounds good AFTER this election in November.
If this is true, it's insane. IT will ultimately destroy the party, as the grassroots delegates are the heart and soul of the party. Drive them away or make them subject to some sort of check by the nominee, and you lose the most committed folks.
Vande Hart is one of the top Iowa sources for all things Republican Politics and the Iowa caucus for years. It is true that Gingsberg did make it more difficult for serious challenges to Romney in 2016 by rule changes (it was reported in other media) But this news stated above is new and if true should be investigated because if it is true then we are in serious trouble
Taserism ... the "cleansing action" of taserists
Mr. RomneyCARE tolerates NO dissent, like his army
of Saboteurs.
NO DISSENT to ROMNEYCARE.
Why are you surprised? Romney has always been clear about his disdain for conservatives and conservation principles.
Actually why would anyone be surprised?
Funny how so many (so called) conservatives are gun ho for him, even though Romney wants them all to go away.
Okay, that does it!
I'm voting for Barack Obama!
"The formation of a conservative third party sounds good AFTER this election in November."
It's always "after the election", but never occurs. There is no bad time to begin the creation of a new conservative party.
I think in a way the the Tea Party has already started a movement toward a third party and that is a good thing.
Well you see, homosexual pedophile activists (And every single person who ever posts that a vote for a write in or third party over Romney is one - no exceptions) are having problems gaining control of the party.
Yes, but remember one critical thing. The GOP has its hooks hard into the TEA party. Look at the 'big names' alteady there. And remember as they expand into it, they are filling it with the same 'moderate' workers at the staff level as the GOP itself has.
Are there enough of us to matter? I doubt it.
When actual conservatives were campaigning, the RINO wing of posters did everything to trash them. Here and on other 'conservative sites. Today they trash anyone not lockstep with Romney.
They can deny it all they like. History does not lie.
People's hatred of Obama has them supporting someone who is opposed to the Tea Party agenda... ironic.
That would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face. We cannot afford to let Obama serve 4 more years. He will successfully ruin this nation and we will all be serfs! Wake up & be part of the solution!
Created the day it became apparent that the formerly grand old party was about to nominate John Judas McCain:
Not so. There are social conservatives in the Mass GOP (e.g. Sandi Martinez, Sean Bielat who is running against Joseph P. Kennedy III). The problem is that the democrats have been the dominant party in Massachusetts and have controlled the Massachusetts legislature for a long, long time.
The state GOP was destroyed by the Kennedy's in the 1950's.
In Massachusetts, a Republican governor actually has very little power because the legislature is so dominated by democrats.
Like the majority of Freepers, I had high hopes for other candidates in the primaries, but Romney is the guy left standing, and it's either him or Obama. I don't believe Romney is out to destroy social conservatives or push them to the sidelines, because it wouldn't be to his political advantage to do so. His selection of Paul Ryan is a signal that social conservatives will have a place at the table.
I still don't get how this guy is getting ANY conservative support
Welcome to Free Republic.
I smell a rat in this article. I personally know one of the people on the rules committee and she and her husband are prolife Catholics. There is no way she would let something like that pass.
There will never be a better chance to etch ones Conservative bona fides in granite than to refuse to vote for Romney against Obama.
My earlier post was a feeble attempt at sarcasm. I completely agree with you. I get frustrated at those who constantly disparage the only candidate available, as imperfect as he is, that can defeat the commie in the White House.
If mitt's your answer then your question was retarded.
Romney intends to come after the republican party first, cut our legs out from under, leaving us to look like a mob. Obama intends to come after America broadly, sweeping up and out all things traditional.
Either way, WE are out. So, which tree do we want to swing from?
Ron Paul's organization is the only thing left standing in a position to raise hell on the convention floor, and I am all for it!
God bless the Paul obstruction efforts, if even they are not silenced.
Sean Bielat has two opponents in the primary. One is Elizabeth Childs (who styles herself a social liberal and fiscal conservative), who was apparently recruited by the MA GOP. The other is a conservative (a dentist, I think, from Fall River maybe -- never heard of him before). I don't know why the other self-styled conservative got into the race, but it looks like the conservative vote will be split.
The only surprise to me is that anyone is surprised by this.
If the GOP intended to recruit a "moderate" Republican who could actually beat Bielat, they wouldn't have chosen Childs, a former democrat and a Hillary voter who only registered as a Republican last year. Bielat is significantly ahead of both primary opponents last time I checked.
What purpose would that serve?
He'd be cutting his own legs out from under at the same time.
I'm glad Bielat is ahead. All I know is when I heard Childs on the radio, she sounded as if the party had recruited her.
Are words missing from that post - or are you saying that if a person posts in favor of a write-in or third-party vote over a vote for Romney, that person is a homosexual pedophile activist?
Isn't this the guy who ran against Bawney Fwank last time around? Let's hope he has more luck.
You might want to try finding a credible source, rather then a blog.
You are wrong according to this committee member:
The change, pushed by the Romney campaign's top lawyer Ben Ginsburg originally allowed candidates to select all the delegates bound to them in state contests. Now it allows candidates to refuse the delegate, requiring another in his or her stead to be selected by the state.
"The bottom line is that the change adopted today essentially allows the Presidential campaigns to pick there own delegates, which makes it a complete insider's ballgame and allows a bunch of Washington D.C. consultants to decide who does and doesn't get to be a delegate," said South Carolina delegate Drew McKissick.
It will certantly make it a lot more difficult for a nommity to hold together a Party and prevent fractures.
I find it interesting in a dull way how some politicians once in office try to bring my unity by means of squashing decent.
Mitt has a lot of bad liberals working for him, men who are no doubt undermining his campaign.
It is very likely that if we are going to win this election and get rid of the Abomination we may have to drag Mitt to the Finnish line yourself. The future of theses "united" States is increasingly at stake here.
That may be so Kazan, but we are between a rock and a hard place as far as Washington DC is concerned.
No man we send there will ever seriously give up power, it is not in the nature of politicians to give up the very power they run to possess. It is understandable why even when elected on this printable they have demonstratively dragged their feet to the point of failing or simply accomplishing nothing.
In many ways we are dealing with a machine the only differences is the leftist agenda lends itself well to the self-interest of that machine although not in the way Liberals think it does. The difference there is the reason why liberals never accomplish dream with government.
Still if we are to accomplish our goals we must create and enact a strategy capable of achieving that end rather than simply attempting to uses this machine to do that which it is not designed/inclined to do.
That means of course if we want to reclaim our rights, we will have to do it from outside of Washington with self-interested tools in opposition. Regretfully however that also requires overcoming certant historic barriers erected by the Federal Government to resist the same kind of attack upon its usurped power.
It is worth noting that most all of them are centered around Washington ability to uses force. So if we defang the Federal military, and beef up our states Washington;s many tricks become a lot less threatening, and as a result their power becomes a lot more consensual.

In a couple of weeks Tim and I are heading to Chicago for a long weekend. We'll be visiting one of Tim's old friends and doing some exploring of Chicago on our own. This is the first time visiting for both of us so tell me where we should be going!
So for the trip I'd like to sew up a few things to wear on the road. I'm not sure what it is but new cities always make me want to look extra special and nothing says extra special like handmade goodness!
#1. The Peony dress – Since I'm already making this for the sewalong I'm going to try to finish at least a wearable muslin for the trip.
#2. Clover pants – For the fall I'd love a new sassy pair of slim ankle pants in either black, navy, or maybe red.
September 25, 2012
I'm going to be trotting around in lots of Colette Patterns!
