During my lastest run through magazines and ripping out ads for my tear file, I came across these. They made me stop and look at them. Some because they are good and others because they are just terrible (yes, I keep a tear file of awful ads as a reminder of what not to do).
Wanna see? Read on.
Bud Light Print Campaign
The coaster on this is perfed on thicker paper and pops out. I like the interactivity of the ads.
Another nice ad in their "Campaign for Real Beauty" campaign.
This ad runs as a spread. It's a bit arresting to see two full pages of skin. Granted it makes it stand out and made me stop to look at it. It's also an interesting angle for selling a sleep aide/pain killer.
Headline: Sleep. For a natural glow that won't smudge or smear during the day.
Copy: Lack of sleep may make skin look unhealthy. Worse, it may lead to skin that's dry, rough and acne prone. If you have pain and trouble sleeping, try Tylenol PM. It's non-habit forming and won't leave you groggy. So you and your skin can get a restorative night's sleep.
I wish they had done a better headline, but the idea gets across, which works for the product.
Diet Pepsi
I find this ad slightly unusual as it was found in a women's magazine. The last line seems a bit more male focused, since it's the fella who's holding the leashes.
Copy: Calories: 0
Carbs: 0
Sugar: 0
Optimal numbers of puppies to attract the opposite sex: 3
Land Rover
More interactive type print ad. There seems to be a trend towards these of late.
Lyme Disease Foundation
A nice ad for a non-profit with very little budget (most likely).
New York Laundry
This stopped me because of the terrible art direction. It looks like something a copywriter would layout. ;)
What do you think? Would any of these ads stop you?
I dug the Bud Light stuff. The "Yes I'm ignoring you" coaster could come in handy! ;)
The Bud Light stuff's nice, but the coaster idea seems awfully similar to Molson's twin label campaign.
Anyone know who the cute model in the Dove ad is? (Am I pathetic or what?)
the colours, the layout, it stopped me as well.... maybe they were going for that retro 80's look. Its a shocker
The new york laundry one is just horrid. Not even in a retro-ironic-horrid way just horrid in a the art director was hungover and puked that shit up way.
And I don't like the Dove ad - though I might have her number Troy.. ;) - because of the line. Yeah what if every woman learned to love every inch of her skin? Huh? Huh >what if? Then what? I dunno, don't ask me these things. Hehe. Something just isn't right with that headline.
You're right about the Bud Molsen thing .. They have that ad deja vu thing going. Don't all beer ads though?
The Pepsi ad is the one that has succeded in being most retro. That thing could have been produced in 1977, 1987, 1997 or today. And no, I don't mean the idea is "timeless".
Alternate headline for the Kleenex ad, off the top of my head: Thank Goodness it's Over.
If it were a CP+B ad, the headline would probably be "Pimp." ;-)
How about "Thank goodness Aunt Edna only visits once a year." OK, so that sucks, too.
How about, "Thank Goodness for aunts, ugly kids need kisses too."
Okay, just as lame!
And one without thank goodness?
"I said, kiss my ass!"
No? Oh well...
Looks like something a copywriter would layout!
Wow, to think you rate my layout skills so highly :)
*psst* she's just jealous. At least most writers *can* do layouts, however crude. Whereas art directors and writing... *shudder* ;)
(caff is a copywriter btw)
of course, I knew that

a few things.
*there is still no clarity on when it should open? i dont really care... but i have been asked and don't know what to say.
Maybe someone could help figure that out?
when should it open in the evening? 9 pm? - 2? (i'm throwing these out there for suggestion but up for imput)
that's 5 hours. could be devided into two 3 hr shifts where the shifts overlap a bit just to be safe. i think we should have 2 people working in there-
1. if it's busy it will be helpful
2. if it's not busy, whoever is in there alone will be sad and bored.
*Bamboo- i have it at my house- it has to leave my house today. Can someone help me get it to forest? I can't carry it by myself. If not, i'll just put it in a cab.
*Will need vollies to help with setting up bar- ie decorations... And going to need to make a Rota for tending the bar. I know i am looking forward to working it, but do not want to be restricted to that room for the entire night. But can't really set that up until i know when we're opening and for how long. I would assume post 20th, after the 8 bit music stuff is in there.
- still need more stuff for decorations.
got all those tvs- who wants to help gut them to build a shrine in/ help get videos together in some way to play on the ones we don't gut - i can easily tear apart a tv, but don't know anything about video transfer or hooking them up
It has been suggested that i take a bus out to the junkyard. Tires, scrap metal, back end of a car, wooden crates, barbed wire, etc.
i would love to go but:
1. taking a bus restricts me bringing anything back.
2. would rather not take this on as a solo mission.
so. if anyone wants to go, and has transport, let's make that happen and at least set it up soon.

Middleton Baptist and Primeria Iglesia Bautista Hispana
The Wayland Mission Center sponsors a mission each year to Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan. We work extensively with the Greater Detroit Baptist Association, under the leadership of Director of Missions Nathaniel Bishop. In Dearborn we work closely with a Christian organization which is boldly proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ among Muslim peoples. This year our team was comprised of fifteen persons, from several Wayland Baptist University campuses: Plainview, San Antonio, Phoenix, Virtual, and Lubbock., as well as from Plainview High School and Plainview Christian High School. The Lord used us to lead 114 people to faith in Jesus Christ, to encourage Baptist churches, and to assist in painting a new facility in Dearborn. Wayland mission veterans Miguel Garcia III, Ahston Marysa Mason, and Christopher Brian Nelson were instrumental in guiding mission newcomers in the tasks. We are thankful for the strong partnership we have with Christian brothers and sisters in Detroit and Dearborn.

Ralph Nader
Quote Of The Day
Sometimes the mask slips in the most unlikely places. The little watched Ed Schultz show on MSNBC hosted Ralph Nader and Barney Frank. Frank took heat from Nader for not, in Nader's opinion, regulating the financial institutions enough. Frank responded by saying:
Democrats are "trying on every front to increase the role of government."
Tell me again why the GOP shouldn't be the party of "no"? They should embrace the role.
The "Deregulation" Bogeyman
As Dale has mentioned before, ginning up support for massive federal expenditures and deepening deficits was much easier for FDR because he had Nazis. Obama does not have any such luxury, so he has to invent an equivalent enemy. Luckily for him, decades of propaganda have cemented the idea into many heads that capitalism=rightwing=nazi, leading to the inexorable conclusion that anyone or thing whose primary purpose is to make profit is dangerous and must be controlled.
Dovetailing nicely with that need is the meme that deregulation is to blame for the current financial mess. Although it's a fairly ridiculous claim (as I've pointed out before), that won't stop "studies" like this from being published and reported on:
Steps to Financial Cataclysm Paved with Industry Dollars
March 4 – The financial sector invested more than $5 billion in political influence purchasing in Washington over the past decade, with as many as 3,000 lobbyists winning deregulation and other policy decisions that led directly to the current financial collapse, according to a 231-page report issued today by Essential Information and the Consumer Education Foundation.
The report, "Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America," shows that, from 1998-2008, Wall Street investment firms, commercial banks, hedge funds, real estate companies and insurance conglomerates made $1.725 billion in political contributions and spent another $3.4 billion on lobbyists, a financial juggernaut aimed at undercutting federal regulation. Nearly 3,000 officially registered federal lobbyists worked for the industry in 2007 alone. The report documents a dozen distinct deregulatory moves that, together, led to the financial meltdown. These include prohibitions on regulating financial derivatives; the repeal of regulatory barriers between commercial banks and investment banks; a voluntary regulation scheme for big investment banks; and federal refusal to act to stop predatory subprime lending.
The quote above comes directly from the report's financial backers, Essential Information and the Consumer Education Foundation. The former is a non-profit that was created by Harvey Rosenfield, a lawyer who also controls the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog, formerly known as the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights. The latter is an entity created by Ralph Nader. None of that information is found either in the press release, or in the news stories reporting on (i.e. quoting) the release.
The organizations are a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy groups which push for stronger consumer protection laws and to curb "excessive corporate power."
The report alleges that excessive deregulation of the financial sector combined with undue influence from the billions spent in lobbying and political contributions resulted in the current financial crisis.
And CBS' Political Hotsheet finds:
The two men behind the report are California lawyer Harvey Rosenfield of the nonprofit Consumer Education Foundation and Robert Weissman of Essential Information, a Washington nonprofit "that seeks to curb excessive corporate power."
The report argues that the lobbying and contributions kept financial derivatives from being regulated, led to the repeal of regulatory barriers between commercial banks and investment banks and kept the government from stepping into halt predatory subprime lending.
The remainder of the reporting is merely quoting and paraphrasing the press release. Absolutely zero analysis of the actual report is offered. Why would they report anything else? Well, just looking at the press release provides one clue:
Financial deregulation led directly to the current economic meltdown. For the last three decades, government regulators, Congress and the executive branch, on a bipartisan basis, steadily eroded the regulatory system that restrained the financial sector from acting on its own worst tendencies. "Sold Out" details a dozen key steps to financial meltdown, revealing how industry pressure led to these deregulatory moves and their consequences:
1. 1. In 1999, Congress repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, which had prohibited the merger of commercial banking and investment banking.
2. Regulatory rules permitted off-balance sheet accounting — tricks that enabled banks to hide their liabilities.
3. The Clinton administration blocked the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from regulating financial derivatives — which became the basis for massive speculation.
4. Congress in 2000 prohibited regulation of financial derivatives when it passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act.
5. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004 adopted a voluntary regulation scheme for investment banks that enabled them to incur much higher levels of debt.
6. Rules adopted by global regulators at the behest of the financial industry would enable commercial banks to determine their own capital reserve requirements, based on their internal "risk-assessment models."
7. Federal regulators refused to block widespread predatory lending practices earlier in this decade, failing to either issue appropriate regulations or even enforce existing ones.
8. Federal bank regulators claimed the power to supersede state consumer protection laws that could have diminished predatory lending and other abusive practices.
9. Federal rules prevent victims of abusive loans from suing firms that bought their loans from the banks that issued the original loan.
10. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac expanded beyond their traditional scope of business and entered the subprime market, ultimately costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.
11. The abandonment of antitrust and related regulatory principles enabled the creation of too-big-to-fail megabanks, which engaged in much riskier practices than smaller banks.
12. Beset by conflicts of interest, private credit rating companies incorrectly assessed the quality of mortgage-backed securities; a 2006 law handcuffed the SEC from properly regulating the firms.
The damning list offers only one instance of actual deregulation (the Glass-Steagall Act), at least seven instances of regulation that the authors simply disagree with (nos. 2-5, and 8-10), one claim each of "global regulators" and ratings agencies failing to do their respective duties (nos. 6 and 12), and two allegations that federal regulators didn't pursue their jobs aggressively enough (7 and 11). So, despite the bold claim that "Financial deregulation led directly to the current economic meltdown," the authors produce almost no evidence to support their conclusion.
It seems like that may have been a little more newsworthy than simply regurgitating the press release.
Then there is the fact that a Ralph Nader organization is partly responsible for the funding. Not only has the man run for president four times, one of those times perhaps leading to the election of George W. Bush, he's notorious for his left-wing politics, including having a serious distaste for corporate America and capitalism.
Could be relevant, no?
But the real failure of journalism here was to take anything that Harvey Rosenfield has to say at face value.
The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) [owned by Essential Information creator, Harvey Rosenfield] has decided to re-brand itself as "Consumer Watchdog." Will a simple name change help shore-up the eroding reputation of this "consumer group?"
Few days pass without someone from FTCR pontificating in a newspaper story or TV report. Agents of this organization often are quoted — without explanation of their credentials — about auto, fire or health insurance, gasoline pricing, stem-cell research, or just about any public policy debate on the FTCR's mind.
Behind the pithy quotes from FTCR's leaders lies an organization with too much to hide and too many faults to be taken seriously anymore. It has survived by quietly pocketing millions of dollars in fees stemming from an initiative it wrote and sponsored nearly two decades ago. Along the way, it has engaged in hypocritical and speculative stock trading, enjoyed the secret patronage of wealthy trial donors, and either cozied up to or bullied politicians. All of this came despite operating under IRS rules as a "public-benefit" charity.
Of course, the public has no idea what is really motivating FTCR because its agents refuse to disclose their financial backers. Their reasons for hiding the facts are insulting to the average Californian's intelligence.
FTCR declined to release a list of donors on its website by ludicrously equating their work to the civil rights movement in the South. It's refusal to list details about its financial backers is particularly galling since FTCR spends a lot of time lambasting politicians for alleged corruption surrounding their own political donations.
One source of income is clear, thanks to some available public disclosure forms. Following the disastrous 1994 Northridge earthquake, founder Rosenfield extracted $5 million in a consumer-protection settlement with Allstate Insurance. The money was placed in a new group he controls, the Consumer Education Foundation, which was supposed to prevent the kinds of insurance disasters that followed the Northridge quake.
But nearly a decade after the group was formed, its biggest accomplishment appears to be paying Rosenfield a $100,000 salary and writing a few grant checks … including to Rosenfield's own FTCR, to fund its operations. One wonders what the judge in the Allstate settlement would think about this cozy relationship, let alone why Northridge consumers have yet to see much benefit from the $5 million that was paid out supposedly for the public good.
It gets even more absurd.
Rosenfield's Consumer Education Foundation invested some of its Northridge windfall in Enron stock — the Texas company that bilked California consumers out of billions of dollars. This laughable investment, which the CEF was forced to reveal in disclosure statements, is almost too incredible to believe. The "consumer" foundation put its money in one of the biggest consumer ripoff companies in U.S. history.
Enron wasn't the only hypocritical stock purchase made by the Rosenfield's Consumer Education Foundation. The group purchased stock in Abbott Labs, Amgen, Merck, Pfizer, Idec Pharmaceuticals, Johnson and Johnson, and Proctor and Gamble. Meanwhile, FTCR would soon get busy lambasting politicians for accepting campaign donations from these same companies. And while FTCR has lashed out at automobile and chemical companies, the "consumer" foundation has invested in Clorox, DuPont, General Motors, Ford Motors, and Toyota Motor Credit.
There's more on Rosenfield's endeavors here (scroll through the comments to the ftcrfollies.org stuff), but the original site is now defunct, so caution is warranted.
In any case, it seems that Rosenfield's alleged background as an agent provocateur should raise enough red flags to warrant at least a mention that perhaps the report he's funded (written?) should be taken with a grain of salt. Instead, we get news stories that basically repeat exactly little more than the juiciest allegations from the press release, absolutely zero analysis of the actual report (or the press release for that matter), and nothing more than the bare bones information regarding the provenance of the report.
With apologies to Mike Judge, "What would you say ya do here, MSM?"

Columbia Adds Swedish Military Vertols to Fleet
Columbia Helicopters acquired 10 helicopters from the Swedish Department of Defense, comprising six Boeing Vertol 107-IIs and four Kawasaki Vertol 107-IIs.
The first three helicopters have been disassembled and shipped, with the remaining three scheduled to arrive in the U.S. later this year. Columbia uses the Vertol 107-II to support military, logging, firefighting and other civilian missions worldwide, and intends to apply for an FAA type certificate for the newly acquired helicopters.

You will need:
- 1 bunch watercress

Bistro-Style Short Ribs
- Short ribs:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 pounds short ribs, in 1 long piece or at least in pairs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 large tomato, quartered
- 3 ribs celery
- 1/2 head garlic, peeled
- 1/4 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
- 2 cups low-sodium, organic beef stock
- 4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Preheat a cast iron grill or outdoor grill.
Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, and brown on all sides.
Place the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and tomato into a food processor and blend until you reach a consistent, smooth pulp.
Take a large Dutch oven and place over medium-high heat. Add a 3-count of extra-virgin olive oil and add the thyme to infuse the oil. Next add the vegetable pulp, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for about 10 minutes. Pour in the red wine and stock and bring it to a boil. Using tongs take the ribs and nestle them into the braising mix; the liquid should just about cover the meat. Place the lid loosely on top, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the meat is very tender, approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
When the ribs are about finished, remove about 1 to 2 cups of liquid and strain into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat the sauce until slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes.

- Scheduling and management capabilities to track members and third parties and organize seminars and services.
- Reliability and accessibility for a dispersed workforce.
CAP'TRONIC consulted with several software publishers for its solution and decided on Sugar Professional for its functionality, flexibility and scalability. In late 2009, CAP'TRONIC worked with Sugar's gold-level solution partner Synolia to configure its Sugar instance. In order to meet its highly specific needs, its Sugar solution was fully configured with several customized modules and features. After a two month period of testing and editing, CAP'TRONIC replaced its legacy system with Sugar Professional. Today, all of it program's key activities are managed with Sugar Professional.
- Gained an internal management system not just a relationship management tool.
- Eliminated need for internal technical resources and costs.
- Gained visibility into its key accounts with Sugar's ability to monitor contacts, business activities and individual accounts' validation processes.
- Simplified management of third party consulting contracts with Sugar's built-in detailed tracking capabilities.
- Improved efficiency of its operations and daily processes with advanced reporting and analysis tools.

Topic: Calculating a Due Date
I am having some difficulty calculating a due date from a specified turnaround time. The turnaround time is in business days and I've constructed a loop to try to calulate the final real days count. The code is part of the Create method in my JobsController:
def create
@job = Job.new(params[:job])
@job.company_id = @job.contact.company_id # Back-assign the company association
# New problem code
@turn = @job.turnaround # Int value for business days of turnaround
@daycount = 0 # Int value for number of real days
@count = 0 # An integer counter
while @count < @turnaround # Will loop until count = turnaround
if cwday(@accepted+(@daycount)) ==(6) # Commercial work date of the accepted date plus the current daycount falls on sat
@daycount += 1 # Increment the daycount
elsif cwday(@accepted+(@daycount)) ==(7) # Commercial work date of the accepted date plus the current daycount falls on sun
@daycount += 1
else # Otherwise...
@daycount += 1 # Increment the daycount
@count += 1 # Increment the counter
@job.duedate = @job.created_at +(@daycount) # Add the final tally of daycount to the creation date
# End of problem code
if @job.save
flash[:notice] = 'Job was successfully created.'
redirect_to :action => 'list'
@companies = Company.find_all
@contacts = Contact.find_all
@employees = Employee.find_all
render :action => 'new'
# NEW STUFF, the Rescue
flash[:notice] = 'Job could not be saved.'
redirect_to :action => 'new'
I'm not sure where things are going horribly wrong, but the job just doesn't save. Leading suspects are my used of the cwdate() feature or the day additions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"I'm I the only one who just can't see the old lady.. "
I also haven't found her, but I was told there is one hiding ... let me know when you found her ;-)
I was also sad when APP was stopped, there was a lot of interesting stuff and a lot coming up, neuronal networks from a PHD student for example and last but not least your chess playing FPGA (what are your plans there). I think Big Max did an outstanding job on APP and I guess without him it wouldn't have even existed. We should be all very thankful for all the friendships he built with his work on APP. So thank you again, Max.
Cheers, Tobias

This little Emerson was posted as part of a group shot while back and he got no love... He's from 1939-1940 or there abouts and he's made of an early plastic called Plaskon. Back in the day you had all kinds of different plastics vying for supremacy in the market place. Plaskon was one of them. Like most of those early plastic though, it had a lot of issues with shrinkage, and heat, and flaking, and cracking, and warping, and on and on... This one does have a long crack on top but otherwise it's very nice! Oh, and it plays real good...

We didn't do much travelling when I was a child. We'd drive the 80 some miles to my grandparents and maybe stop at Boot Hill in Dodge City as a special treat. I don't think I was every out of the state of Kansas until I was 11. Now some of my friends tease me because I've never been east of the Mississippi; in fact I've never seen the Mississppi.
One little "game" I played was pretending I was riding a horse along the side of the road and which way it would go up and down the sides of the highway. It's hard to explain but that sure would have been the world's fastest horse. lol
Now I love looking for old buildings, corrals, pastures and other places that have long been abandoned. I wonder about the people and their lives. Most of all I just love seeing the old wood and architecture. I love taking pictures of these old buildings but I don't have any to share yet from this trip.
What scenes do you enjoy seeing as you travel around?

I love seeing the barns in Maryland and Virginia and that area. They invoke in me a era of old fashioned values and hard work. I've never lived on a farm but seeing those big barns out there in the fields makes me wonder of the hidden treasures inside and makes my imagination roam.ReplyDelete
I used to pretend I was a horse, too! I would gallop from my best friend's house home. At night, I would go very fast on the darkend streets.ReplyDelete
Hope you are having a wonderful time with family! See when you get back, Susanne

I have found this so helpful in curbing my cravings for carbs. Whenever I get those very persistent cravings, just take this and they go away. Also good to stop them before they start.

Jill Arbutus Maki
NEWBERRY, MI. – Jill Arbutus Maki passed on, after a courageous battle with lung cancer, at 1:30 am on January 30, 2013 at Marquette General Hospital with her best friend, Terry Tryan, at her side.
Jill was born and raised on a 360 acre farm on M-28 outside of Newberry, the first and only daughter of George and Fern Maki.
Jill graduated from Newberry High School in the class of 1961 and she "caught the first thing smoking out of town "Never to return!"" Jill attended Central Michigan University for two years before beginning a long and successful career with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. She started her employment in Detroit and completed the last 15 years of her 39 year career in Marquette. After retiring from Blue Cross in 2000, Jill retired to her hometown and became the chairwoman of the Luce County Democratic Party. In 2006 Jill ran for and was elected a Luce County Commission Seat representing Pentland Township. She was reelected three times, including the 2012 election.
Jill was a lifelong University of Michigan Football Fan and a great fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions, Pistons and Red Wings. She was also a lifelong pet owner leaving Lola (the dog) and Winnie (the cat) orphaned.
Jill was preceded in death by her parents George and Fern (Scott) Maki. She is survived by her older brother Jay Maki also of Newberry.
There will be a celebration of Jill's life at the Newberry Elks Lodge #1705 on Saturday February 2, 2013 at 3:00 pm. Stop in and have a beverage and some eats on Jill and share your memories with friends and family.
Memorials may be directed to the Maki Family Scholarship Fund in care of the Tahquamenon Education Foundation, PO Box 482, Newberry, MI 49868 or the American Cancer Society.
Condolences may be expressed at www.beaulieufuneralhome.com.
Beaulieu Funeral Home in Newberry is assisting the family.

RoadpizzaGreat comments and perspective on things.Seems like you need to decide what you're going to be for your consumer and tailor it accordingly.Makes me wonder how profitable vs the cost angle does it become and is it worth the expedition, if you've never delivered before, to start offering delivery....seems like once you start, you don't want to stop, as the next call for take out and you say no, you could lose a customer forever.
food for thought. the largest orders i've ever made and/or seen ordered, have been for delivery.

One For The Ages - Page 2
Most of the trail is not particularly hilly, but what it lacks in vertical gain or loss it more than makes up for with smooth, runable singletrack and lush (or snow-covered or fall-colored, depending on the season) ridgeline views.
The trail is not connected from end to end and there are several interruptions, but numerous long, uninterrupted sections are easily accessible from every part of Wisconsin.
Highlights of the Ice Age Trail
Straight Lake State Park. Located in Polk County just an hour and a half from the Minnesota's Twin Cities, this section, says Kaufmann, is "the Midwest's answer to Saint Mary Lake [in Glacier National Park, Montana]." The landscape in this 3000-acre park is rich with outcroppings of basalt bedrock, which, being near the surface of the ground, has given spring to several ephemeral ponds, perched wetlands and marshes.
Chippewa Moraine. Located one hour from the city of Eau Claire, this section of the trail hosts the Chippewa 50K and 10K Trail Races in April. Start from the David R. Obey Interpretive Center for easy access to a section that winds through a spatter of seemingly endless kettle lakes.
Plover River State Fishery Area. Explore the hardwood forest and cedar trees along a Class I trout stream, or wander past moss-covered boulders in the space beneath a forest canopy of fir, cedar, hemlock and aspen trees. Located in Marathon County, 30 minutes from Wasau. Bonus tip: visit the Great Dane Pub and Brewing Company in Wasau to quench your thirst and hunger post-run.
South Central Wisconsin and Devil's Lake State Park. This region of the state, including Devil's Lake, is the place to find spectacular vistas on the Ice Age Trail. 360-degree views of the Baraboo Hills and the sights from the top of the east and west bluffs that contain the trail are equally impressive. Start out west of Highway 113, about 45 minutes from Madison. Bonus tip: while use of the trail is free, access to state parks requires a vehicle admissions sticker.
Table Bluff. Located near Madison, this route traverses restored oak savanna and prairie where melting glacial waters once poured through the valley floor. Bonus tip: stop at Crossroads Coffee House in Cross Plains for a vegetarian wrap and iced tea.
Southeastern Wisconsin and Kettle Moraine State Forest. One hour from Milwaukee (two from Chicago). This segment follows the extensive Kettle Interlobate Moraine and hosts several of Wisconsin's large trail races, including the Ice Age 50 Mile, and is suitable for runs of varying length. Mandatory stop: La Grange General Store, for their famous peanut butter balls (they also have several lunch options).

Move Over, Credit Cards—NFC Is Coming
If you think mobile commerce isn't going to take hold, we invite you to consider the 1950s, when credit card use was limited to fewer than 100,000 people. Today in the United States alone there are upward of 610 million credit cards in circulation, with the various issuers reporting 2011 net purchases close to $2 trillion—and that doesn't include debit cards. And a smartphone equipped with a near field communication (NFC) chip beats plastic hands down because it's easier to secure and can be more than a payment method. It can help consumers decide what to buy, find the best possible price on a given item and automatically incorporate applicable discounts. (S4120112)

Skip to comments.GOP Senator Cruz: New Gun Control Proposals Are Unconstitutional (Fox New Sunday Video at Link)
Posted on 01/06/2013 3:12:08 PM PST by Red Steel
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a freshman Congressmen, appeared on Fox News Sunday and said he did not support most new gun control legislation because it is unconstitutional.
Cruz was discussing his belief that after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, politicians used the opportunity to try to exploit and push their political agenda of gun control. Cruz said he would not back an assault weapons ban or a ban on high capacity magazines.
RELATED: Former Marine Responds To Sen. Feinsteins Gun Proposal: Unconstitutional Laws Arent Laws
Asked if there was any new gun legislation he might be willing to approve, Cruz replied, I dont think the proposals being discussed now make sense. Senator Dianne Feinstein, he said, is proposing a national gun owner registry, which he disagrees with. I dont think the federal government has any business having a list of law-abiding citizens who choose to exercise their right to keep and bear arms, Cruz added.
However, he said he would support an improvement in the quality of the federal gun database. He also noted we need common sense measures like ensuring criminal conviction barriers and mental health barriers to gun ownership.
Watch the full clip below, via Fox News:
Don't worry,
John Roberts will surely put a stop to this.
So what...if no one does anything to stop these facisti?
I hope he knows that is a meaningless statement.
Cruz is fresh outta the box. Wait till some of the old timers 'splain to him howz it's gonna be. He'll come around.
The Democrats wants to throw up all these paper barriers and then crow how they have made people safe. I am reminded of a Texas senator who boasted about his measures to help teachers, but which had no positive effect at all. That is, to persuade us of his good intentions.
Yep, we need to start a pool on how long it will take before he falls in line with the rest of the traitors.
Frankly I trust NONE of them. Verify BEFORE trust is my motto.
You gotta start somewhere to set things right, but there's no denying that Cruz is facing a mighty headwind of leftists and status quo republicans.
The article says he doesn't support "most" new firearm legislation. So, what does he support?
No he won't.
There is no video at your link. Can it be viewed on another site?
Refresh the webpage and try again. That's what I had to do.
He says gun control measures are Unconstitutional. Why are you people berating him for doing the right thing?
Be skeptical, but give the guy credit.
His parents left Cuba when they could, and I heard his father speak recently, about what is happening to the US.
Ted is not going to buy any bs from anybody.
Still no worky
"The article says he doesnt support most new firearm legislation. So, what does he support?"
Not you...That's for sure. As it sounds like you are getting snippy for his doing what is right.
Thanks Red Steel.
Seems to me that proposing legislation that is an infringement on our right to bear arms is not only unconstitutional but also a direct violation of the oath they took. Seems there should be legal remedy. Any attorneys have an opinion?
Ted Cruz is a Senator.
I look for "citizen nullification" of such laws.
It worked again for me. You should get a large arrow in the video screen after the first click and then click it again and again if need be. It's hard to start. You could also try another browser.
I think the Mediaite link may go to Fox News.
Fox owner Murdoch who doesn't like ARs may have one of his henchman messing with the video clip. /sarc sort of...
Ted Cruz the most conservative and most articulate, and about the only one of the "new conservatives" you can believe when he says something. Get used to saying his name. One day he'll be called President Ted Cruz.
I use firefox. Refresh does not work even tough I have allowed all for the site. Oh well.
"Ted is not going to buy any bs from anybody."
If you are a fellow Texan, then you got to enjoy him standing up to the local Rino/Republican establishment and telling them to F -off. Unfortunately, in Washington he is one of a very small number. If the rest of the country had held up there end and there were about 20 - 30 Ted Cruz's in the Senate, there would be some hell raised!
The Second Amendment Pledge
I pledge to uphold defend and comply with the Second Amendment to the bill of rights in our United States constitution. Abiding by the original intent of our founding fathers in recognizing the preexisting God given, inalienable right of we the people together and individually to acquire, keep and bear arms.
The advance of technology does not alter nor affect this right. Any action, edict, decree or demand by any entity which negatively impacts or infringes on our right to modern state of the art arms and magazines is a treasonous criminal act, an unjust and an illegal law null and void.
It is my highest duty and honor to respond to such a despotic lawless act with peaceful civil disobedience, contempt, defiance and resolute hyperactive resistance.
That will be an interesting proposition should he undertake it as he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The words of a politician are worth nothing. Cruz could turn on a dime, then turn again, and again.
Will you at least give the man a chance before labeling him a RINO.
See U.S. v. Dalton (1991) (HTML) (EPUB) Some choice quotes:
Finally, the government argues that the Gun Control Act, of which section 922(o) is a part, should not be viewed as repealing the National Firearms Act, citing a provision of the Gun Control Act passed in 1968 to that effect. The court in Rock Island Armory rejected the same government argument, observing that "the 1968 Congress cannot bind the Congress of 1986, which decided to ban transfer and possession of machineguns. P.L. 99-308, 100 Stat. 453 (May 19, 1986). Further, a Congressional declaration in 1968 does not solve a constitutional problem which arose in 1986. The ban enacted in 1986 and the government's refusal to accept registrations and tax payments, simply left the registration requirements with no constitutional basis."
773 F. Supp. at 126 (footnote omitted).
The government is correct that a statute is repealed by implication only when that statute and a later statute are irreconcilable. See, e.g., Morton v. Mancari, 417 U.S. 533, 549-51 (1974). In our view, however, that is exactly the situation here. Sections 5861(d) and (e) punish the failure to register a machinegun at the same time that the government refuses to accept this required registration due to the ban imposed by section 922(o). As a result of section 922(o), compliance with section 5861 is impossible.
Accordingly, we vacate Dalton's conviction and reverse with instructions to dismiss the indictment. In so doing, we recognize that the illegal possession of a machinegun is a most serious matter. However, it is precisely because this conduct raises such grave concerns that the government must exercise its prosecuting responsibility with care. The decision to proceed under an inapplicable statute has resulted in a constitutionally infirm conviction.
The above case relied on U.S. v. Rock Island Armory (1991) (HTML) (EPUB)
Since its passage in 1934, the registration, taxation, and other requirements of the National Firearms Act ("NFA") have been upheld by the courts under the power of Congress to raise revenue. (Footnote 5) However, 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(o), which became effective on May 19, 1986, prohibits possession of machineguns, and thereby repealed or rendered unconstitutional the portions of the National Firearms Act which provided for the raising of revenue from the making, possession, and transfer of machineguns made after such date. As the government conceded at oral argument, the United States refuses to register or accept tax payments for the making or transfer of machineguns made after 1986. (Footnote 6) Thus, sec. 922(o), as applied to machineguns made after May 19, 1986, left the registration and other requirements of the National Firearms Act without any constitutional basis.
The National Firearms Act was originally passed as a taxing statute under the authority of Nigro v. United States, 276 U.S. 332, 48 S.Ct. 388, 72 L.Ed. 600 (1928). See National Firearms Act: Hearings Before the Committee on Ways and Means, supra, at 101-02, 162. Upholding the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act, Nigro noted:
"In interpreting the act, we must assume that it is a taxing measure, for otherwise it would be no law at all. If it is a mere act for the purpose of regulating and restraining the purchase of the opiate and other drugs, it is beyond the power of Congress and must be regarded as invalid ....
276 U.S. at 341, 48 S.Ct. at 390. The Court added:
Congress by merely calling an act a taxing act cannot make it a legitimate exercise of taxing power under sec. 8 of article I of the Federal Constitution, if in fact the words of the act show clearly its real purpose is otherwise." Id. at 353, 48 S.Ct. at 394.
The prosecution argues that the NFA is still a tax act because criminal violators only will be assessed the "tax." Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment at 6. This begs the question, because the government refuses to register the making or transfer of a post-1986 machinegun on behalf of an applicant who is not being prosecuted, and will not register any firearm even when it imposes a tax assessment. Thus, the registration requirement - which the government interprets as repealed by sec. 922(o) is still left without any tax nexus.
In its motion to reconsider, the prosecution reiterates that the government can tax an item or activity which is illegal. Yet the very framing of this proposition presupposes that the activity can and will be taxed. By contrast, in the case at bar, the government interprets 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(o) to prevent the registration and taxation of post-1986 machineguns made for private purposes under the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. sec. 5801 et seq.
The enactment of 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(o) in 1986 removed the constitutional legitimacy of registration as an aid to tax collection. This is because the government interprets and enforces sec. 922(o) to disallow registration, and refuses to collect the tax. Farmer v. Higgins, 907 F.2d 1041, 1042-44 (11th Cir.1990), cert. denied, - U.S. - , III S.Ct. 753, 112 L.Ed.2d 773 (1991). Thus, sec. 922(o) undercut the constitutional basis of registration which had been the rule since Sonzinsky.
Finally, the prosecution quotes an enactment passed in 1968 that the provisions of Title I of the Gun Control Act shall not modify or affect the National Firearms Act. (Footnote 15) However, the 1968 Congress cannot bind the Congress of 1986, which decided to ban transfer and possession of machineguns. P.L. 99-308, 100 Stat. 453 (May 19, 1986). (Footnote 16) Further, a Congressional declaration in 1968 does not solve a constitutional problem which arose in 1986. The ban enacted in 1986, and the government's refusal to accept registrations and tax payments, simply left the registration requirements with no constitutional basis. It is the duty of the judiciary to declare such laws unconstitutional. Marbury v. Madison, I Cranch. 137, 176-77, 2 L.Ed. 60 (1803).
In sum, since enactment of 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(o), the Secretary has refused to accept any tax payments to make or transfer a machinegun made after May 19, 1986, to approve any such making or transfer, or to register any such machinegun. As applied to machineguns made and possessed after May 19, 1986, the registration and other requirements of the National Firearms Act, Chapter 53 of the Internal Revenue Code, no longer serve any revenue purpose, and are impliedly repealed or are unconstitutional. Accordingly, Counts l(a) and (b), 2, and 3 of the superseding indictment are
Now, ask yourself this: Why is it, that almost noone has heard of either of the above cases, which essentially throw out the 1934, 1968, and 1986 victim disarmament acts? The government never appealed either of these cases, and they have been cited elsewhere and to the best of my knowledge are still good caselaw.
Why does the even the NRA ignore something as potentially earthshaking as this?
Does precident and caselaw only matter when said caselaw is adverse to the interests of freedom?
Mark your post for later read....
However, he said he would support an improvement in the quality of the federal gun database.
Sounds like typical politician / RINO doublespeak! Cruz disagrees with a "national gun registry" but would support an improvement in the "quality of the federal gun database".
Huh? Does that make any sense to anyone? He's opposed to a gun registry but wants to make improvements to a gun database? What's the difference? Registry vs Database?
Hey Cruz, how 'bout you just pour yourself a heeping cup of "not this shit again" and just STFU. You're barely sworn in as senator and it sounds like you're already backpedaling furiously from your conservative/tea party support base.
I believe his next words were referring to paying more attention to whackjobs and criminals in the federal database.
I'll see if I can find the transcript.
Your interpretation is correct, he was referring to more accuracy disqualifying the mentally ill and criminals.
I note that the NRA is an advocate for improving mental illness screening.
CRUZ: The reason we are discussing this is it the tragedy in Newtown. And every parent, my wife and I, we've got two girls aged 4 and aged 2 -- every parent was horrified at what happened there. To see 20 children, six adults senselessly murdered, it takes your breath away.
But within minutes, we saw politician running out and trying to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control.
I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons. Number one, it's unconstitutional.
ROBERTS: But is there that you would accept?
CRUZ: I don't think the proposals being discussed now makes sense. Look, are there things we can do? Sure. One of the things we can do is we could improve the quality of the federal database.
Right now, a lot of states, a lot of local jurisdiction are not reporting criminal conventions, not reporting mental health barriers to ownership. So, the federal database is not nearly as good as it should be. That would be a common sense improvement.
But that's not what is proposed. Senator Dianne Feinstein's bill would create a national gun registry. I don't think the federal government has any business of having a list of law-abiding citizens who choose to their right to keep and bear arms.
Thanks for your gracious response and quick follow-up!
Whether Cruz knows it or not, he has already taken the first step as evidenced by his statement.
we need common sense measures like ensuring criminal conviction barriers and mental health barriers to gun ownership.
He is either uninformed of such barriers already in place or he is leaving the door open for so-called common sense measures with the socialist
They're doing tons of things that are unconstitutional.
And no one is stopping them.
I have heard nothing at all that would indicate that the shooter in Newtown would have been barred from buying guns or that his mother would have been barred from owning guns, even if the improvements suggested had already been made.
The anti-gunners are always after the next thing to pass, even when the next thing would not have solved the problem. The last thing to pass has never made any difference.
Without the federal FFL system, many of the infringements in Kalifornia would be hugely impractical to implement. These are all infringements and are simply another example of the courts ignoring the clear intent of the Constitution.
We're talking here about denying a law-abiding person who is otherwise at liberty from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
If such a person has not already been convicted of a felony, then what actions would justify denying them the right? The law now, I think, specifies that a person can be denied if they have ever been involuntarily committed.
The question that should be asked is, "What actions resulted in the commitment?".
If the actions would not have constituted a felony, then from whence comes the decision that the person will commit a felony in the future?
If the actions would have constituted a felony, then from whence comes the psychiatric decision to release them from commitment?
Treating psychiatry as if it is an exact science is a truly troubling concept.
I have personally expended thousands of dollars in extra expenses because of the liberal notion that society must take risks by returning felons or those who have been committed to freedom. Why am I the one to pay for managing these risks?
Idiot Mitchy McConnell skid let this guy do all the talking .
Excellent spokesman !
Excellent Pres material !
In another month or two, he'll "realize" that gun control is a good thing.
Here was my first thought when I read the headline: "That's well and good to say that but what are you going to do when gun control passes?" For as long as I remember we've had senators say things just like what Cruz said. All the while we've watched our freedoms slip away and our culture go to pot. When they're in the majority, it's the same.
In my opinion, people who still think there's a political solution are part of the problem. They're lending credibility to a corrupt system which is designed to enslave us. If Ted Cruz was assigned the role of making it seem as if there's dissension, he wouldn't be doing anything different.
Somebody posted and article about Patrick Henry's speech in Virginia in which he says "Give me liberty or give me death." That speech is relevant to our times. We've voted, and voted, and voted, and the congressmen we've elected either lose, being a part of an irrelevant minority, or they cave.
This is big. The left's plans for us are bad. There's no one in DC the will to stop them (or to do anything that will actually work to stop them).
Someone fully intent on killing you, who stands to gain from your death, and has started the process, will not be reasoned with. You have to kill them first. DC is a clear and present danger to our liberty.
Gov't limiting a 'right' is a none starter. Perhaps we should ban criminals and others from free speech and other rights that we have. But more worrisome, is that Mr. Cruz starts off his decision that the Gov't 'should' be able to deny gun ownership for a individual. So that's a Constitutional conservative these days? A federal background check, etc. No. Gov't always, and will abuse power.
But were his parents American citizens??
I don't know but I assume they were. His mother was from Delaware and his father was a Cuban Revolution immigrant in 1957. His parents were in Canada working in the petroleum sector, not sure what they were employed as at the time.
McCain's father was station at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama Canal Zone when McCain was born, or that's my understanding.
Cruz was born in Canada to a nonmilitary U.S.-citizen mom and a dad who was not yet a U.S. citizen.
Thanks Theoria, I did not know when his father became a US citizen so I looked it up and it was in 2005. Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz was born in 1970. So we'd have the same situation as we have with Obama, a mother with US Citizenship and a father without at the time of birth.

I use a lot of baking soda to eliminate acid reflux, alkalizing the body's ph, brush my teeth, mouth rinse, etc. After learning that typical store bought baking soda has aluminum, I was so glad to find this aluminum-free product.
