Skip to comments.Justice Anthony Kennedy Shuts Down Prop 8 Supporters' Request to Stop Gay Weddings
Posted on 06/30/2013 12:20:50 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Well, that was quick. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday evening ordered that same-sex marriages begin again in California, and after less than a day of weddings, Prop 8 advocates filed an emergency motion to halt the unions, claiming that they still had time to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision to dismiss their challenge to a 2010 ruling that Prop 8 is unconstitutional. Kennedy, who is responsible for motions dealing with the Ninth Circuit, was swift in his response. The Associated Press reports that he "turned away the request on Sunday with no additional comment." Keep getting married, everyone!
The party of perverts wins again.
Once again this proves that our vote in CA didnt even matter..Prop 8 won and the deviants come in and overturn the vote of the people..the local media here is enjoying every minute of it, showing over and over again men kissing other men and women kissing other women..its nauseating but you can see the pure delight on the reporters faces..they love showing this in our face
"...The party of perverts wins again.....'
Why not? He's a $3 bill himself.
Can we impeach Supreme Court Justices?
See tagline.
Justice Kennedy thinks what he did is fine but he will answer to a much more higher Judge and there my friends he cannot tell him "O love is love" crap.
FReepmail me or Perdogg to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
Nobody here seriously expects a queer judge to make a ruling against his fellow queers, do you?
Rot in hell, Kennedy.
Land of the freak; and the home of the depraved.
Hades is inching ever closer to the topside of the terra 'infirma'.
Reckun we know what he wears under his black robe.. or have a pretty good idea anyway..
The correct interpretation of what Kennedy said is: "You little people have no say in this government (anymore). We will decide what is best for you, and please don't wave that silly piece of paper you call The Constitution in our faces."
Some 'catholic' he is. Might as well tear out certain pages of the Bible which is very clear on its teachings against homosexuality. Those who practice and promote it won't be included into heaven. What a rude horror awaits for so many.
The first 10 minutes of all local tv news is about the scotus decision to roll-over for more societal change than ya can shake a stick at.. and gay pride parade coverage..
It's enough to gag a maggot.. stuffing societal change down everyone's throat the way it has been done asks me why I even vote anymore.
Equality? For who? at what cost?
The Tyranny Of The Minorities
A country of 315 million people is being ordered by the courts and the Obama administration to live the way the black 13%, the atheist 5%, and the homosexual 3% tell us to live.
"they love showing this in our face"
Well, every effing' billboard here has AIDS-related testing or condom-related service or product. You cant drive around the LA/Hollywood area without these pervert pukes message in your face.
Respone: WE WILL NOT OBEY YOU!
DC is the modern day Soddom & Gomorrah. SCOTUS will be ground zero when God lets loose.
Notice how the 4 reliable, leftist mutants gay parading on the SCOTUS never veer off course and lurch rightward. Its always one of our 'conservatives' taking the opposite left hand turns with that dubious honor.
So maddening-—put your treasure in heaven folks because this world is gonna blow-—no pun intended.
The SCOTUS and the IRS should be disbanded. Both are corrupt usurpers of American freedom.
"Can we impeach Supreme Court Justices?"
No but the states can start ignoring Supreme Court declarations. If Obama and Holder can decide which laws they will enforce, why can't the States determine which Supreme Court rulings they will obey?
Amendment 10 to the US. Constitution: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The only way the abuse of federal power will stop is when the states and the people stand up to it. Not unlike 1776.
Arkansas tried that in 1957, but it ended badly when President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock with bayonets fixed and orders to use those bayonets on white Southerners who dared to raise their hands in defiance to the Supreme Court and the authority of the federal government.
Most definitely. I fully expect that will be the next perversion to be legalized. Age of consent laws will be abolished even before polygamy is legalized.
They have those same billboards near the Beverly Center(Since you seem to be familiar with the area) or on the MTA bus..there is a huge sign about "Homophobia" near La Cienaga/La Tijera Blvd. they love shoving this in our faces..they can talk about what is going on without showing men/men kissing each other every second..its disgusting but considering the media here are all pervert lovers of course they love promoting this
Supreme Court Justices can indeed be impeached but in the current Senate, you would need 22 Democrats to vote guilty and Barry Soetoro would get to nominate the replacement; I don't think we want that.
Justice Samuel Chase was impeached but found not guilty in 1805.
I'd just as soon see the court of supreme activists done away with.
In fact I'm not sure that anyone in this country is capable of judging anything anymore, and should not be given the power to do so.
I'm beginning to think the gays are a lot more than only 3%. After a rare trip to the mall yesterday, I swear every guy there looked gay and seemed to be shopping with their boyfriend. It's hard to tell anymore.
The only way the abuse of federal power will stop is when the states and the people stand up to it. Not unlike 1776.
In this particular instance, the state government of KKKalifornia has been almost completely homosexualized, and they are not going to stand up to the court.
A few years ago several different polls were taken, even the Allen Gutmacher institute which is a leftist organization connected with PP put the number around 2%, which is pretty consistent.
Of course, with recruitment going on in schools and the media, more may try perversion. Then the lie that "if you have had one "gay" thought, desire or experience, you ARE "gay" and can never ever change! You're one of us, now!" kicks in. Teenagers are encouraged to "experiment" and then they are locked in via lies. Of course some still manage to leave the homo life, but if more knew the truth, more would make the attempt to leave it.
And the most popular recruitment method is adult homosexuals molesting young children and adolescents, that's how most become homosexual. And now that they can foster and adopt children, or in the cse of females, have sperm donors, more children will "become" homosexual - either via being molested, or totally screwed up being around perverts during their formative years.
Let Obama send in the military to protect pedophiles.
Let him.
We'll see how long it stays the "united" states after that.
May God preserve us as He preserved Lot.
Correct...and nobody is going to do a damn thing about it or you will be Paul Deen'd off into irrelevance.
This is real disenfranchisement.
On a positive note, I know black Obama voters who are disgusted by Obama's support of gay "marriage". I tell them vote Democrat and you get sodom & gomorrah. Huge impact. Democrats may lose Christian blacks over this.
Also goes to show you what horseshit the confirmation hearings were for Kagan and Sotomayor who we both knew going in were going to be 100% pro-gay and pro-anything Obama wanted.
Guess what? He still has a very good chance at getting one more justice and then after him? Hillary for 8 years and she would have a chance at getting 2 herself. Which would hands down change the country forever with zero hope of it ever being what it once was.
Roberts is a total disgrace and fraud and let me just call him it right now and here...A BASTARD.
Dreamland. Skin color changes everything. Just watch when Zimmerman is found not guilty....pipe dreams of blacks showing revenge for gay marriage will be a faint vapor trail.
That's interesting. Why do we cave to 2%. Makes me sick. USA is becoming the laughing stock of the world with our gay president leading the way. I wonder if he knows that a lot of the population of the world suspect that he is gay?
The second part shows how activist justices sidestepped the constitutionality of Prop. 8 by ignoring both the Constitution and case precedent to argue that private citizens don't have the standing to have their cases heard by the Supreme Court.
Here is how activist judges in California ignored the constitutionality of Prop. 8. First, note that the equal protections clause in the California constitution is expressly based on the equal protections clause of Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment.
ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS(See SEC. 7. (a))
However, there is glaring evidence in the federal Constitution that John Bingham, the main author of Sec. 1, had never intended for the equal protections clause to be applied the way that California judges have applied it to Prop. 8.
More specifically, if the equal protections clauses of the federal and California state constitutions were intended to be understood the way that California judges have applied them to Prop. 8, there would have been no need for the states to have subsequently ratified the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th amendments to the Constitution, these amendments establishing voting protections based on specific criteria.
In other words, today's activist judges would be forced to argue that the equal protections clause in Sec. 1 of 14A automatically established voting protections which weren't actually considered protected until expressly protected by the later amendments referenced above.
In fact, noting that the 19th Amendment was ratified to prohibit federal and state governments from prohibiting otherwise qualified voters from voting on the basis of sex, please consider the following. Prior to the ratification of 19A, the Supreme Court had decided in the case of Minor v. Happersett that the states could prohibit citizens from voting on the basis of sex regardless of 14A's equal protections clause. And similarly as 10A-protected state laws had legally prohibited otherwise qualified voters from voting on the basis of sex, legal majority California voters had likewise prohibited constitutionally unprotected gay rights concerning marriage by using the 10A-protected power of the people to approve Prop. 8.
So where the equal protections clause of Sec. 1 of 14A and the California constitution versus the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments is concerned, what equal protections actually means is the following imo. Simply put, states can make laws which discriminate on the basis of criteria which are not expressly protected by the Constitution, as long as such laws are applied equally to everybody affected by constitutionally unprotected criteria.
Again, California judges inappropriately based their application of the equal protections clauses in both federal and state constitutions on PC interpretations of these clauses, these pro-gay activist judges essentially pulling the wool over the eyes of Constitution-ignorant citizens.
Next, the following information shows that the side-stepping response of pro-gay activist justices to Prop. 8 wrongly ignored both the Constitution and case precedent when they declared that private citizens don't have the standing to have their cases heard by the Supreme Court.
To begin with, the Founding States had made the Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 2 of Article III to clarify that the Supremes have original jurisdiction in any case where a state is a party as is the case with the Prop 8 case.
Article III, Section 2, Clause 2: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction (emphasis added). In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
In fact, the 11th Amendment was ratified in response to the Supreme's decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, a case where private citizen had successfully sued a state that he was not a citizen of.
11th Amendment: The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
Note that 11A does not prohibit private citizens from having the Supremes hear a case when suing the state in which they are a citizen, the simple fact that a state is a party in a case automatically putting the case in the original jurisdiction of the Supremes under Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 shown above. In fact, a good thing later resulted from a Supreme Court case in which a citizen sued her state.
More specifically, the Supremes had actually decided against private citizen Virgnia Minor's argument in the case of Minor v. Happersett that her citizenship automatically entitled her to vote regardless of a state law which allowed only qualified men to vote. But fortunately for Minor, the states subsequently ratified 19A which prohibits the states and feds from prohibiting otherwise qualified citizens to vote on basis of sex.
So based on the Supremes' constitutionally indefensible excuse not to hear private citizens argue their side of the Prop. 8 case against California, pro-gay activist justices are wrongy ignoring their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution not only as much as California judges are, but also as much as elected officials in the other two branches of the unconstitutionally big federal government are imo.
The bottom line concerning federal and state judicial activism is the following imo. Not only do patriots in California need to impeach their state's judges for their failure to uphold their oaths to protect and defend federal and state constitutions, but patriots need to win majority control in both Houses of Congress in 2014 in order to impeach Obama and Constitution-ignoring justices.
Impeach Kennedy.
You may have a point. These Obama voters I mentioned believed it Zimmermen couldn't have killed Saint Trayvon in self defense.
But a legal case may not trump the politics of "gay marriage" which Obama and Democrats support. Time will see.
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—
To think we got this jerk instead of Robert Bork(RIP) sickens and saddens me.
Yes. Federal judges can be impeached, convicted, and removed from the bench, (see Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution). It is possible to impeach federal judges, but is seldom done. Fifteen federal judges have been impeached since 1804. One was a Supreme Court justice.
REAGAN appointee!
That would have been my understanding, so I don't know why it isn't true.

The Digital Skeptic: Windows 8 Brings Xbox 720 to Zero
LAS VEGAS ( TheStreet) -- Most Microsoft (MSFT) execs didn't bother showing up here for the 2013 International CES. Too bad. They missed out on talking to techie Malik Forte, who had this to say about the soon to be upgraded Xbox:
"I am, like, 'Why fix what is not broken?'"
The hip, Los Angeles-based 27-year-old is not some gamer who has a virtual ax to grind with Redmond. Oh no, this enterprising young man has a cool job. He and his buddies get paid serious cash to -- get ready for this -- play video games.
"We are ushering in an interactive revolution between game consumers and game developers," Forte told me as we were demoed some of the Windows 8 PCs here.
Forte says companies such as Ubisoft and Sony (SNE) pay his firm, Max Level , to host online and live events that give these companies valuable access to the video game preferences of hard-to-capture demographics.
"My role is right there with the developers and the game creators," Forte told me. He says Max Level creates an environment where authority-shy, mostly young gamers are comfortable disclosing what's not quite polished in games.
Forte has some serious notches on his gaming-analysis belt. He says he's advised improvements on Assassin's Creed , God of War: Ascension and many others.
But one gaming platform worries Forte.
"I love the Xbox. But the more I look at Windows 8, the more confusing it is to me," he said as we -- like a half-billion other Windows users -- puzzled out how make Windows 8 work on our demo PCs.
"I cannot understand how they will make Windows 8 work on the Xbox," he said.
Windows 8 could get the Xbox pwned
As much as Windows 8-weary investors hate to consider it, a critical piece of the Windows 8 PC/Phone/Tablet rollout -- that is, how it works on Microsoft's wildly successful gaming platforms -- probably has yet to even begin.
The Windows 8/Xbox 720 puzzle breaks down like this: There is an expected life-to-date total sales for Xbox 360 at 70 million units as of 2013. And investors see nothing but money on the looming major upgrade to the platform code-named Durango, also known as Xbox 720, due out in the fall.
"Microsoft's Xbox 720 will be a game changer with its Kinect and other features," is how Cris Frangold caught the sentiment in a post for the investment blog Seeking Alpha called Microsoft's New Money Gun .
The buzz says the new, upgraded Xbox will almost certainly have gaudy, PC-like features, such as 8GB of RAM, eventual support for augmented-reality glasses and powerful use of gesture control as part of its successful Kinect motion-capture system.
A Microsoft representative declined to comment on specifics of how Windows 8 will work with the various emerging Xbox platforms, but Forte worries that Microsoft intends to bash its hard-to-learn Windows 8 Metro tile environment into the Xbox.

Stretch Your Summer Dating Spending
By Rodric J. Hurdle-Bradford
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--The summer dating social scene is a perfect remedy for most of the nation that endured a long, cold winter indoors. But once you step outside for a season of fun, make sure you find value with entertainment options that stretch your dollar while making you (and your date) smile...
Major Fun in a Minor Way
No other sport says "summer in America" like baseball. While everyone knows popular franchises like the New York Yankees, the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants, the ticket prices at Major League Baseball games definitely don't fit everyone's budget.
Look a little closer to home to enjoy America's pastime this summer by taking your date to a minor league baseball game. With cheaper tickets, parking, concessions and memorabilia, you will stretch your dollar before the first pitch is even thrown. Seats closer to the action allow you and your date to take in the complete experience of the game. Minor league ballclubs have unusual promotions and giveaways to keep fans entertained, and the teams are spread out across nearly every state to nearly every middle market metropolitan area that does not have a major league team. So grab some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, and enjoy the game!
Save in these cities: There are nearly 100 minor league baseball teams across the U.S., including: Buffalo, N.Y.; Columbus, Ohio; Durham, N.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; New Orleans, La.; Pawtucket, R.I.; Reno, Nev.; Sacramento, Calif.
Cheap Fare at the Fair
Want to enjoy a variety of food without going to an exclusive restaurant on a regular dining setting? Check out the state fair, and make a daytrip to the finest agriculture and fair food your state has to offer. Kettle corn, deep fried Twinkies, fried turkey legs and fish tacos are all fair favorites.
Most state fairs partner with local media outlets to offer discounted admissions, and weekday admissions are often cheaper than weekends. Fairs make great dates because of the sensory overload and the warm heartedness of the experience, all the more true once you've won your sweetie a prize at the carnival. The animals in the agriculture area makes for easy conversation and shared experiences, and many fairs partner with their state lotteries for fun promotional booths.

Sez Me ... The Montreal Jazz Festival
June 22, 2008. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: club soda, composition competition, Dave Brubeck, duets, enjoyable times, festival international de jazz, festival international de jazz de montreal, free outdoor concerts, Gizmo, heart attack, Jazz Alive, jazzfest, july 13th, melody gardot, michael bourne, montreal jazz festival, octet, oliver jones, place des arts, pop group, punchline, Riff, steely dan, times of my life, wbgo
What annoyed me most about the heart attack last year was that I missed the Montreal Jazz Festival. I'm not kidding. FIJM (Festival International de Jazz de Montreal) is one of the most enjoyable times of my life every year. Except for last year, I've gone every summer since 1992. I feel close especially to all the extraordinary folks who run the jazzfest, especially in the press room. Musically, the jazzfest offers an extraordinary variety, ticketed concerts in the evening, free outdoor concerts all day, and everything they do, they do with style, including the t-shirts. Everything happens in or around Place des Arts, in the middle of a metropolis but with the vibes of a carnival. And there's a Pizzadelic in walking distance in three directions.
I'll be there for it all this year, Thursday June 26th through Sunday July 13th, first as a judge for the GM and Galaxie band and composition competition, then broadcasting live from the heart of the festival on WBGO, 2-6:30 Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, and the 4th of July. I'm looking forward musically to the "Invitation" series of Hank Jones, especially the opening concert of duets with Oliver Jones. I've never heard my favorite pop group, Steely Dan, in concert, and they're playing two in Montreal, with Cat Russell as an opening act. I always expect compelling new singers every year, this year "nouvelles divas" Ima and Melody Gardot. And another festival favorite, Dave Brubeck, this year is playing a trio concert and recreating the octet.
One jazzfest ritual I will happily continue is falling by Club Soda at midnight for ... whatever is happening, usually music that's weird, often music that's wonderful. I realized at Club Soda two years ago how much jazz keeps on being re-defined -- and still swings. I wrote an essay for Down Beat to that effect, but too much of the piece, including the point (and punchline) of the piece, was lost editorially. So here's the piece, as meant to be read ...
(Summer, 2006, at the Montreal Jazz Festival)
"Jazz cannot be limited by definitions or by rules. Jazz is, above all, a total freedom to express oneself."
Duke said so in a 1952 Down Beat – and on the back of the Down Beat t-shirt I was putting on the last day of the Montreal Jazz Festival. I'd never read the t-shirt before, but Duke's quote was timely. I'd been thinking about the definition of jazz all through the festival.
"How come you can't hear jazz at the jazz festival?" was the question asked almost verbatim twice when I was interviewed on the fest's first day by the CBC and talk radio CJAD. During one of the interviews on the Place des Arts, an actual Dixieland band was walking by. "One way you can hear jazz," I said snidely but truly, "is to pull your fingers out of your ears and listen."
I've been scribbling about jazz in this magazine since 1969 and playing jazz on the radio since 1972, and in all that time I've heard no more pointless (or relentless) argument than the question of what is or is not jazz. It's usually been most disputatious between generations. Many who loved Louis Armstrong hated Charlie Parker. Many who loved Charlie Parker hated Ornette Coleman. Many who loved Miles Davis hated … Miles Davis. What became most evident to me in Montreal was how much every generation re-defines jazz.
"We try to always have music that's got some element of jazz,"said Laurent Saulnier, officially V.P. of programmation but I always think of him as V.P. of The Edge. He's always pushing the festival's musical parameters, especially electronically, and yet he deeply believes that the biggest word in the logo (Festival International de JAZZ de Montreal) should always be bolded. He's teased me for years about being an old fart, always nudging me to listen especially to the DJs every midnight at Club Soda.
I've usually run screaming from anything hip-hop-ish, but (maybe because I'll soon be 60, one of those zero ages when one looks back and forward much more keenly) I was game to hear a group Laurent was excited about called Plaster.
Three cats, all Quebecois, play keyboards, bass, and drums connected to computers. Though the grooves they generated were often thunderous, there was a playful bounciness to the bits and pieces of melodies they twisted electronically or criss-crossed with samples, including the voice of a wittily distorted politician. I became more and more fascinated by the interplay, especially between keyboardist Alex MacMahon and drummer Philippe Goncalves. These were not, as I've often felt about electronica, machines playing. These were musicians playing the machines. These were composers and actual improvisers, especially when counterpointing riffs.
And at the very thought of the word riffs, I almost leapt up shouting "It's the Basie Band!" I could hear in Plaster parallels to the way Basie built calls and responses of the sections, always with the rhythm solid and propulsive. And how did Basie define jazz? Something about music that makes you pat your foot? Mine was patting like crazy.
I was just as delighted when British singer Jamie Lidell played a midnight gig. Solo on the stage, he worked several electronic whiz-bangs, turning fragments of sound into rhythmic melodies, shifting tempos and moods while keeping a straightahead pulse, all the while singing sounds or words. And when he was joined by the whimsical pianist Gonzales, he was even scatting blues. Too much of the scat singing I hear nowadays is only babble in 4/4. Jamie Lidell, with his voice and his machines, was creatively improvising phrases like a saxophonist or a drummer, like a jazz singer is supposed to.
Maybe I'm getting into an argument about what is and is not hip-hop, but what I've heard of hip-hop and electronica sounds too often like a stampede of jive elephants. Lidell's hipper (and hopper?) pachyderms whirled like ballerinas. I've rarely felt any emotion from rap other than lust or anger, but Lidell was charming, laughing, and, as I shouted when I saw Laurent Saulnier dancing in the crowd, "This kid is swinging!"
Not all of these hip-hop-electro-whatevers were so compelling, "jazzy" or otherwise. I quickly became aware which of these new musicians were, like Plaster and Jamie Lidell, creatively to be reckoned with and which were playing only new clichés. Microtone Kitchen, even with six turntables, seemed unable to spin the recognizable shape of a composition, and the grooves were monotonous as the clatter of train tracks. Bauchklang, with six singers grunting electro-funky beats all vocally, sounded to me and (in their pseudo-street posturing) even looked like wannabe rappers on an old Soul Train. And one thing jazz certainly never is is dated.
Continuum is what I was hearing all across the musical spectrum in Montreal. Computers, I realized, offer jazz a new musical technology—no different than when Charlie Christian plugged in. And not all that was new that I heard was electrified.
Don Byron is an artist who's always played everything (from klezmer to Puccini, from Duke's Jungle Band to cartoon tunes) as if the music is new now. Byron's Ivy-Divey Trio (with Jason Moran and Billy Hart) celebrated the Lester Young Trio (with Nat Cole and Buddy Rich) in the jazzfest's Jesus Room, and affectionately more than reverently.
Likewise in the Salle de Gesu, The Bad Plus was not your father's Bill Evans Trio. They played what pianist Ethan Iverson whimsically called "covers" (including back-to-back songs of Ornette Coleman and Burt Bacharach) among original pieces that often sounded to me like musical Rubik's Cubes that they (and especially drummer Dave King) twisted into colorful configurations way beyond Rubik's geometry.
Around the corner at the Spectrum, the trio EST also bent the usual triangle into other polygons. Though they sometimes involved electronics, even acoustically they played powerfully, often melodies that sounded less like tunes and more like pure momentum. Do they compose in AABA form? No. Could I always pat my foot? No. But even footless, EST was swinging other parts of me quite (I felt jazzfully) headlong.
I should mention that all the while I was waxing ecstatically about "new jazz" at the festival, there was oodles of "old jazz" – although, actually, what Dave Brubeck played in Montreal (and everywhere else he plays) was ageless. Everyone I heard pissing and moaning about not hearing jazz at the festival was not hearing McCoy Tyner! Wayne Shorter! Yusef Lateef! And plenty of straightahead Canadian jazzers we never get to hear below the 49th parallel. I especially enjoyed pianist Lorraine Desmarais fronting a big band with what I characterized in my notes only as punch!!
Streetnix is the most festive jazzband every year at the jazzfest. A quintet fronted by alto saxist Jennifer Bell with trumpet, trombone, tuba, and drums, they can march in the street or play the littlest stage of the Place des Arts, playing anything from Oliver Nelson's "Hoedown" to AWB's "Pick Up the Pieces" -- all the while kids are getting faces painted like cats and kids of all ages (like me) are laughing.
I've always loved singers, but too often I hear the same songs the same ways. Not so every year in Montreal. Fest faves like Dee Dee Bridgewater and John Pizzarelli were, as always, swinging and funny, him singing Sinatra, her singing chansons. Two other faves of mine were singers who criss-cross songs from all styles, each with unique chops and charms, each with I feel a true jazz sensibility. Susie Arioli sweetly sings songs of Fred Astaire or Roger Miller with a breeziness like the brushes on the snare drum she always plays when she sings. Terez Montcalm, with a Joplinesque rasp in her voice, can get frisky when she's torchy, singing "For Heaven's Sake" with an upbeat or spelling "L-O-V-E" with the joy of that word's every definition.
And speaking of definitions, as I was at the outset, wondering what "jazz" means, whaddaya call Jamie Cullum? He sang pretty much anything and everything. "Old Devil Moon" and a Dinah Washington song. Something folk-ish. Something rap-ish. He sang a heartfelt "Some Other Time" like I've never heard before. He played piano. He danced on the piano. He crawled through the audience singing "Nature Boy" and even conducted a sing-along. What I called him in my notes is Talent To Burn! And I also wrote "It's all jazz!"
I mean, what was Jamie Cullum really (and wonderfully entertaingly) doing on that stage in Montreal? Same as Jamie Liddell. Whichever British Jamie was performing, he was, with total freedom, expressing himself. And that is what jazz is! Duke said so!

This should be a good topic for everyone, when ducks are working your spread or circling do you think a feeder call or single quacks are better. I have stuck with the single quacks with good success and just want to hear peoples ideas. What has been working for everyone out there?

Since I'm terrible at the feeding chuckle I stick to single quacks. If I have some one with me that can do the chuckle well I have him chime in.

I usually just use single quacks. As soft as a I can (I'm not good at controlling the volume sometimes), just enough to keep them in the landing pattern. Also, I sometimes have to hunt on mud flats and act like I'm a just another stump so there isn't always lots of food where I'm at. I kind of figure that a feeding chuckle in those circumstances seem out of place.
My feeding chuckle is really slow and I typically just use that as I call out in the blue. I often hunt larger bodies of water so I will just blind call quacks and a little feeding chatter. I've had birds come in real early that I never saw so I can only assume they heard my blind calls then saw the dekes and decided to fly over and check it out.
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I have used clucks to finish more birds than a feed call or single quack. It's a sound that is not an aggressive sound, but it keeps the ducks attention to the spread. The main thing is watch the birds and see what they want. But pretty much these three sounds will have the same affect. One is not more aggressive than the other.

Let me toss a curveball here, one of my spots is loaded with wild rice. Do you think that a feeder chuckle would be useful since the ducks are feeding in that area?

I hunt near there roosting areas. And keep in mind this is on public waters. As im setting back in the blind in the dark, I will listen to them. I try an mimic them relaxed. I use some single quacks, and I will thrrow in a 3 to 4 note soft quack. As the birds draw in closer, I soften my tone of the call. Ive learned a lot from live ducks, Now only if I can do the same with honkers, I'd have it made.

Some good points from posts above. Keep a watchful eye on the birds and what they react to. I tend to put the call down as birds are directly over the spread or coming in, if they flare off and start to turn or go away - thats when I'll give them a 5-6 quack sequence and a few single quacks to get them turned back to the spread. Just experiment some and see what turns them and keep at it.

All good points from the previous posts. While your calling just watch how the birds react to your calling. Sometimes no calling is better than anything especially when they are already coming into your spread. Remember they already know where that noise came from so over calling will give your position away. Good luck.

I've always read and heard that the feeding call doesn't bring in/attract birds, and is more just for natural noise. But in my limited experience, I really disagree with this.
The times when the ducks have circled one or two more times than you would expect, and are seeming wary, I have had excellent luck hitting them with a very hard feeding chuckle, and I mean just going almost crazy with it as quickly as you can without screwing up a note, obviously. So if a normal feeding chuckle is 5 seconds, I am using it for 10-12 seconds, and it has really helped finish ducks for me.

I cant say I use one more than the other merely for the fact that I read what the birds are liking. Some days the single quacks, or sometimes I use a chopped up feed chuckle. In the early season when they're making that last pass I'll hit em with a soft greeting call and that will work. It just all depends on the birds

Beware�these 8 harmful ingredients are lurking in everyday food products.
Although we don't think of food as poison, many of the common ingredients in processed food products are actually considered toxic to health. We uncover eight dangerous ingredients to watch out for in your groceries, as well as tips and strategies for how to avoid them. High fructose corn syrup Where it�s found: many sweetened products, such as sodas, fruit-flavored drinks, cereals, crackers, breads, flavored yogurts, etc. Why it�s bad: High fructose corn syrup is chemically similar to table sugar, which has been associated with health problems such as weight gain and obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and high triglyceride levels when consumed in large quantities. How to avoid it: High fructose corn syrup is found in nearly all processed foods, so be vigilant about reading labels and seek out natural alternatives. Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, etc.) Where they�re found: artificial sweeteners such as NutraSweet, Equal, Sweet�N Low, and Splenda; also diet sodas and many other processed foods and beverages Why they�re bad: The FDA has received thousands of aspartame-related complaints involving neurological issues such as dizziness, headaches, and memory loss. Multiple types of artificial sweeteners are suspected carcinogens. How to avoid them: Don�t buy artificial sweeteners or diet soda, and carefully read the nutrition labels of any processed food or beverage before buying it. MSG (monosodium glutamate) Where it�s found: chips, cookies, salad dressings, canned soups, lunch meats, restaurant food (especially Chinese) Why it�s bad: As an excitotoxin, MSG affects neurological pathways in the brain by over-exciting neurons to the point of harm. When consumed in large amounts, MSG can lead to depression, disorientation, eye damage, fatigue, headaches, and obesity. How to avoid it: Watch out for savory foods in both grocery stores and restaurants, as MSG is a popular flavor enhancer. Sodium nitrites and nitrates Where they�re found: bacon, ham, lunch meat, corned beef, hot dog, jerky, smoked fish or any other type of processed meat Why they�re bad: While nitrites can help prevent botulism and keep meats from spoiling, they may also cause gastric cancer in organs such as the liver and pancreas. How to avoid them: Try not to buy pre-packaged meats, and if you do be sure not to overcook them � when sodium nitrite is overcooked, it forms a known carcinogenic compound called nitrosamine. Trans fat (partially hydrogenated oils) Where it�s found: margarine, chips and crackers, baked goods, fast foods Why it�s bad: Trans fats raise bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower good (HDL) cholesterol levels and increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. How to avoid it: The American Heart Association recommends getting less than 1% of your total daily calories from trans fats, which leaves essentially no room for processed trans fats. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) Where they�re found: cereals, crackers, chewing gum, potato chips, vegetable oils, beer, and many foods that contain preservatives Why they�re bad: Both BHA and BHT have been proven to cause cancer in animals, and The Department of Health and Human Services says that BHA is �reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.� How to avoid them: BHA and BHT are common preservatives, so avoid anything artificial with a long shelf life and try fresh foods instead. Artificial food dyes (such as allura red, erythrosine, and tartrazine) Where they�re found: One of the most commonly used additives in the US, it�s hard to find a processed product food dyes haven�t been added to. Why they�re bad: While extremely common, artificial food dyes have been linked to a number of problems, including cancers in various organs and hyperactivity and concentration issues in children. Certain colors have even been banned in other countries, but not in the US. How to avoid them: Look for labels that say �no artificial coloring used� or have similar proclamations. Sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate Where they�re found: pickles, salad dressings, fruit juices, soft drinks, syrups, jams Why they�re bad: Benzoates preservatives keep bacteria, mold, and yeast from growing in acidic environments. However, sodium and potassium benzoate can react with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to form benzene, a known carcinogen. How to avoid them: Be wary of artificially preserved liquids like syrup that don�t needs to be refrigerated at first, as well as foods preserved in liquid such as pickles, olives, and fruits.

Skip to comments.NFL passes helmet rule, ends tuck rule
Posted on 03/20/2013 9:55:54 AM PDT by Perdogg
click here to read article
After further review, Peterson of the Vikings is guilty of violating the head first rule. His run of 75 yards is therefore called back. As the millions in the stadium throw bottles at the ref.
I think I'll find something else to do on Sunday.
Well, soccer is looking better and better.
Being as that's the only way we gain yardage, I think finding something else to do on Sunday afternoons is looking better and better all the time.
....and this rule is to solve what problem, exactly?.........
No more Super Bowls; each team given a 'participation' trophy
Gaelic Football is better.
I'll stick with baseball.
Well Rush Limbaugh has been talking about it on his show.
2 hand touch below the belt. This solves the gay issue also.
As they should. Making a had to watch sport more unwatchable. I hope college football doesn't follow. They probably will. Maybe good ol baseball will make a comeback.
NFL teams run?
That the NFL is facing and will face thousands of lawsuits, face damages in the billions of dollars, become subject to legislation outlawing the game, and go out of business.
And prior to the NFL going under, football will be abolished at the youth/community level, then high school, then college levels.
This last season, In response to the Detroit Lions losing a game in Houston because the Lions' coach through a challenge flag on a long run. The refs actually would have called the play back, but since the coach through the flag, they couldn't. The play stood and the game was over.
Next will come baseball...Pitchers won't be allowed to throw pitches over 45mph...Balls and bats will be required to be Nerf material...Spikes will be changed to ballerina slippers....
Anyone know where Rugby is televised? Oh well there is still NCAA and High School Footbal.
Jumpig and running will be outlawed in basketball..Only trotting to be allowed...
It doesn't matter, it's not about the fans. Fans will still attend games, TV ratings will continue to be very high.
I honestly don't know how exactly a RB is suppose to do this. They will have to run upright and allow the defender to tackle them, which will probably result in more injuries.
When will Ball Carriers have to Slide?
Football was a lot better before the lawyers took over.
Jim Brown never led with his helmet, if he could do it so can everybody else.
Yet another stupid rule to slow the came down.
This last season, In response to the Detroit Lions losing a game in Houston because the Lions coach through a challenge flag on a long run. The refs actually would have called the play back, but since the coach through the flag, they couldnt. The play stood and the game was over.
Yup, that saved the Texan's a$$ all right. Except the game was played in Detroit. :)
Really? No riots?
You know it.
Yep, you can still lead with your shoulder. My way of slowing the number of concussions would be to take away the cages on the front of the helmets. You get one bar like George Blanda or Fred Biletnikoff.
another rule that doesn't apply equally to the O and D sides of the ball is the face mask penalty. If a defender brushes the face mask of the ball carrier its a penalty. If the ball carrier stiff arms the defenders face mask, no penalty.
The coming lawsuits from older NFL players w/head injuries.
It's all about the $$$$$$'s
Maybe helmets and pads for ping pong players next?
Football tomorrow.
Football? What's a football?
NBC and NBC Sports. Foxsports has Aussie Rules football.
Ball carriers and lawyers taste like chicken.
I like "Aussie Rules football", BUT I just could figure out the rules or the jist of it.
You're going to see the vicious hits penalized, or at least some of them. The ones where the fans say to themselves "Damn, that had to hurt". It's still subjective and at the discretion of the refs. They'll do the best they can to be consistent but the media will question why one hit was penalized and a similar one not. It's going to be a circus in the media, which they love.
He's against it because he makes a good living posturing hollowly and being against stuff. I think it's a good rule, if only because we've been seeing ball carriers duck "into" tackles causing helmet to helmet hits, probably trying to get that extra 15. And really if they're trying to reduce concussions then they have to make the head not a legitimate weapon or target for everybody. "That brain damage causing hit was legal because of who hit who" just doesn't fly if you're really trying to make the game safer.
Of course, they will be awarding the last good Raiders team (ever from what I can tell), the Superbowl.
I 100% guarantee Al Davis will zombie his butt out of the grave to accept His Ring...
>>Next will come baseball...Pitchers wont be allowed to throw pitches over 45mph...Balls and bats will be required to be Nerf material...Spikes will be changed to ballerina slippers....
You got confused. Them is the rules in the NFL *before* the new QB in a dress rules..
>>I like Aussie Rules football, BUT I just could figure out the rules or the jist of it.<<
Remember out childhood game of "tackle the man with the ball?" Well AU rules FB is that with 2 dudes with white outfits and sticks up their butt to say whether the ball went in the outside or inside poles...
"....and this rule is to solve what problem, exactly?........."
Lawsuits will end the NFL and Division I NCAAF within 10 years. This is a probably futile attempt to prevent that.
