We rented the house over New Years, it's a big sprawling house with plenty of rooms for both privacy, while allow you to socialise in either of the 2 lounges. Plenty of outdoor living space with deck for BBQ's and back yard for games. The house is centrally located with the shops and beach just 2 minutes walk away.
We had a fantastic stay, thank you so much. The location of the bach was just perfect, so much to do within walking distance, close the the wharf, the little estuary and park where the kids swam and played (just 2 min walk), and a walk to town and to the camp ground beach. The property itself was fantastic and safe for kids, lovely view of the mountain, had a gorgeous bachy feel, comfy beds, great shower...I could go on and on! Loved it and will definitely be back. Thanks again Erica.

Fire Agate jewelry
Etymology and history
The Agate stone was given name by Theophrastus Greek philosopher and naturalist, who discovered the stone along the shore line of the river Achates. Colorful agates and other chalcedonies were obtained over 3,000 years ago from the Achates River, now called Dirillo, in Sicily. Fire Agate has been found only in parts of California, Arizona, and Mexico, and within the last sixty years, making it the rarest and newest multi-colored gemstone in the World
Fire Agate description
Fire Agate is not a well known gem. It has colors that are brighter and sometimes more beautiful than opal. Most agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas where they represent cavities originally produced by the disengagement of volatiles in the molten mass which were then filled, wholly or partially, by siliceous matter deposited in regular layers upon the walls. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity, giving as banded appearance to the section. Such stones are known as banded agate, riband agate and striped agate.

text: I'm basically using this post as a venting session because I'm about to lose my shit. My roommate, Jessica, is driving me up a wall. I've explained how she's crazy before but it seems to be getting worse. She's either in a really good mood and annoying with all her energy or she's in a bad mood (mostly the case recently) and she emits this negative energy and is always complaining and take it out on all of us. She not only sucks personality wise but as a roommate as a whole (like for all 4 of us- not just directly in the room), she always turns the tv on and then goes somewhere and doesn't turn it off, she always uses the most plates, pots, pans, etc. and cleans the least. She literally never cleans at all actually. She just puts all her shit in the sink. The rest of us do some sort of cleaning..I usually load, start and empty the dishwasher but Amy and Brittany both clean up a lot and hold their own…Jessica sucks. She also uses my things without asking and doesn't put them back where they were. Like she uses my scale and pulls it out from where it is and then just leaves it there. It just gets on my nerves because it's like if you're gonna use my things at least have the decency to return them to where I originally keep them. She also always uses my trash can which I don't get because she has her own like 10 feet away. Mine always fills up so I'm constantly emptying it and she never does- she also never empties our main trash can in the kitchen either…or takes out the recyclables like each of the rest of us have. I think she thinks she like owns the room because she has her tv and her fridge and whatnot in here but she told me she'd bring them when we were discussing bringing stuff so I easily could have brought my tv she just insisted. ANOTHER thing is she is always so effing loud in the morning. Like do you not care at all that I'm trying to sleep over here? When she skips class and I'm up before her I'm like silent and so conscious of what I'm doing so I don't wake her up. I'd expect the same amount of respect. And lastly (I'll end my rant now), she always is asking me for info/gossip about other people. Like she asked about Brittany's break up and literally was spit fire asking me 40 questions one after the other…like ASK BRITTANY YOURSELF MY GOD!!! No matter what she's asking about it's always a long stream of question one after the other it's so unbelievably annoying. Ugh okay I'll stop for now- I'm just so thankful she's going away this weekend or I would literally be in a mental institute soon. I've never met someone like her it's honestly so insane.

Lady Gaga has been announced at Beyoncé's replacement at next month's Coachella Music & Arts Festival. Gaga confirmed the rumors late Tuesday night by tweeted an updated version of the Coachella poster with the caption "Let's party in the desert!" The Pop star will headline on Saturday, April 15 and Saturday, April 22.
Last week, Beyoncé announced she was dropping out of Coachella this year due to her pregnancy. The singer famously announced earlier this year that she is pregnant with twins. At the time, it was announced immediately that Beyoncé would make it up to fans as a headliner at Coachella in 2018.
The two Fridays of Coachella are topped by Radiohead while Kendrick Lamar is the Sunday headliner.
Gaga is set to kick off a world tour behind her latest album Joanne on August 1 in Vancouver and her Coachella appearance could be a sneak peek at what is to come.

This is the oldest award of its kind in the nation, intended "to recognize and honor living composers who reside in the US who are making a particularly significant contribution in the field of symphonic music, not only through their own creative efforts, but also as effective personal advocates of new approaches to the broadening of critical and appreciative standards."

In 1998, she received the Distinguished Alumni Association Award from St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire.

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., November 19, 2012 – The Dearborn Community Foundation, Inc. (DCF) recently honored five community volunteers as 2012 recipients of the "Heart of Gold Award."
The Heart of Gold recipients were recognized for touching the hearts of others through their volunteerism and other acts of kindness. "These honorees deserve this recognition for making a difference in our community in their own unique ways," said Fred McCarter, Executive Director of the Dearborn Community Foundation. "They are all role models for how all of us can make a difference in our community."
Each of the five Heart of Gold honorees, nominated by others in the community and then chosen as Heart of Gold recipients by a Foundation committee, were given the privilege to serve on the "Heart of Gold Committee" to award a total of $2,500 in proactive grants to charitable organizations that serve Dearborn County residents.
In recent years, Heart of Gold recipients have been recognized for helping senior citizens or disadvantaged persons, working to improve the quality of education, expanding recreational or cultural opportunities, working with children, protecting the environment, promoting public safety and other acts of kindness.
This year's honorees are: Allen "Mooch" Callaway, Cheryl Shuman, Sara Cornelius Chipman, Patricia Hartwell, and Steve Stenger.
Heart of Gold Honorees' Stories
Allen "Mooch" Callaway, Lawrenceburg: He is described by his nominator, Everett "Ray" Beatty, as a great family man, who has served his community well as a volunteer without hesitation. Some of Callaway's handy work: He is a former Lawrenceburg Fire Department volunteer for 11 years; a very active member and trustee of Lawrenceburg and Aurora Eagles; and he's volunteered at events for organizations such as Relay for Life, Indiana ALS Association, and Lawrenceburg Schools Athletics Boosters Tiger Pride. For the past 11 years, Callaway has stepped up to take the lead on making sure that the Callaway Family Memorial Scholarship remains a huge success. The scholarship program was started in memory of the recipient's brother, who passed away in January of 2001 of Lou Gehrig's Disease. The Callaway Memorial Golf Outing raises money to support six scholarships per year for graduates of Harrison, East Central, Lawrenceburg, Milan, Rising Sun and South Dearborn high schools. The success and results of his tireless efforts and hard work are the result of an endless number of hours it takes to accomplish these tasks. Callaway's efforts also have inspired others to volunteer!
Cheryl Shuman, Dillsboro: Gary Townsend, who nominated Shuman, says she has touched hearts in southeast Indiana for over 17 years through Special Olympics Indiana by volunteering in many ways. Shuman is the Financial Secretary/Fundraising Coordinator of Special Olympics Indiana—Ripley-Ohio-Dearborn Counties. Like all volunteers she does not ask for or receive anything in return for her many hours helping the athletes. She is a member of the 10 person Management Team responsible for making it possible for the athletes to practice and compete. Shuman can be seen participating in everything from Winter Games, Polar Plunge, Swim Qualifier, Spring Games, Athlete Achievement Awards, and Summer Games to selling Walking Tacos at the Fall Fest in Lawrenceburg. She is an important member of a volunteer Management Team that touches the hearts of persons with intellectual disabilities. Through her unusual acts of kindness, 160 athletes have been given opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts.
Sara Cornelius Chipman, Aurora: She is described by her nominator, Laura Rolf, as an exceptional young woman and citizen, who after college immediately reached out to help others upon her return to her home county of Dearborn. Since 2006, she has been a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati (BBBS). When for reasons in the child's family, her first match ended after a few months, she was willing to try again. Chipman was open to being matched with a child with special needs. For six years, she has found a way to be there to support and encourage her Little Sister Catherine. Building social skills and self-confidence have been key for her Little's development. Chipman is one of the founding members on the Big Brothers, Big Sisters Advisory Board, which recruits volunteers and helps to raise operating funds! For five years, she chaired the Halloween Fundraiser, helping to raise more than $20,000. She takes giving back to her community very seriously. Chipman and her friends even organized a 5K run the morning of her wedding and donated the money to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Instead of table favors at the wedding reception, Chipman and her husband had table tents with pictures of her and her Little Sister with a note explaining the amount that would have been spent on favors was being donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Chipman has a full-time job, but that doesn't stop her from volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters and other charities in our community! Our community has been able to depend on Chipman and her efforts to make a difference.
Patricia Hartwell, Moores Hill: She gives of herself and her time has made and continues to make a difference in many lives, according to her nominator, Linda Ritchie. When this special lady sees a need and an opportunity to help, she never hesitates — often putting aside her own personal time for others. Late last year during the holidays, Hartwell was worried about an elderly lady earlier had not called her for the usual ride to church. This recipient just was so concerned, she left her family's holiday dinner to drive to Aurora to check on her elderly friend. When her friend didn't come to the front door, she summoned the authorities and her friend was taken to the hospital for care. The woman was eventually well enough to return home, thanks to Hartwell's willingness to put her only family aside to help another in her time of need. This honoree is also known for caring for God's little creatures. It's not unusual for her to stop her car to get an abandoned puppy out of the roadway. Hartwell's compassion for others also shows through helping children that may need extra tutoring. Even with a full personal schedule, she manages to find time for others in need. "Never once have I heard her complain," said Ritchie. "Her commitment to others in need is priceless."
Steve Stenger, St. Leon: He has a passion for youth and their lifelong success and it's exhibited in the time that he devotes in his role as the Shooting Sports Coordinator for the Dearborn County 4-H SAFE Club. The positive role model that he is for others in the program inspires them to give of themselves in order to make this an outstanding place for youth to grow. Michelle Deddens, who nominated Stenger, says the shooting sports program under his direction allows youth to explore archery, hunting and wildlife, muzzle loading, pistol, rifle and shotgun in a positive and supportive environment. Youth learn marksmanship, safe and responsible use of firearms, hunting and archery principles and develop life skills, self-worth and conservation ethics. As the Shooting Sports Coordinator, Stenger has spent numerous volunteer hours with others to develop the program and facilities, become a certified instructor, obtained advanced training at the State Shooting Sports workshops and educates others in the importance of firearm safety. He truly embodies "selflessness" in his commitment to youth. He is a husband, father and grandfather, who currently has no family member in the program, but continues to cultivate a program that positively educates, develops life skills and self-confidence, sportsmanship, and most importantly teaches shooting sports safety. Stenger lives up to the 4-H Shooting Sports slogan of "pointing kids in the right direction," said Deddens.

Karen Gillan was at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour event the other night, looking pretty hot in her little black dress. This time around she's giving the Doctor Who bit a rest and instead promoting her new TV movie on the Ovation channel, WE'LL TAKE MANHATTAN, about a love affair between a model and cameraguy in 1960s NYC. Good to see her moving beyond Doctor Who, especially after the inevitable announcement made last month about her character. In deference to those of you who don't like spoilers, I wont go into details there. If you're familiar with Doctor Who's legacy, you can probably guess about what's in store for Amy Pond.
Whatever happens with her current claim to fame, I fully expect Karen to have a bright future ahead of her. I can't imagine anyone letting her languish in obscurity. Sure, she can be a handful off the set, but she's young and adventurous. She'll get over that, hopefully. What's important is that she's talented and gorgeous. They should always keep the door open for someone like that.

VIDEO: Deer rescued from pool spa in Pinellas
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Pinellas County deputies were called to a rather unusual rescue – a doe needed to be helped out of someone's home pool spa.
Deputies responded to the Palm Harbor home and along with a trapper.
PCSO says this happened around 10 a.m. Thursday morning on Radcliffe Drive in the Lansbrook subdivision.
Deputies say the small doe ran through the pool screen and fell in. Then, the homeowner called the sheriff's office and said the deer had apparently been knocked unconscious and that when the deer regained consciousness, it could not get out of the spa on its own.
PCSO says two deputies came to the house and later a trapper. Together, they lifted the doe out of the spa.
Once out, the deer sat down, got its bearings, and ran off into a nearby wooded area, according to PCSO.
The family thanked the deputies for their help.

By Gordon Duff
Five members of the Supreme Court declared that a "corporation" is a person, not a "regular person" but one above all natural laws, subject to no God, no moral code but one with unlimited power over our lives, a power awarded by judges who seem themselves as grand inquisitors empowered meant to hunt down all heretics who fail to serve their god, the god of money.
Their ruling has made it legal for foreign controlled corporations to flush unlimited money into our bloated political system to further corrupt something none of us trust and most of us fear. The "corporation/person" that the 5 judges, the "neocon" purists, have turned the United States over to isn't even American. Our corporations, especially since our economic meltdown are owned by China, Russia and the oil sheiks along with a few foreign banks. They don't vote, pay taxes, fight in wars, need dental care, breathe air, drive cars or send children to school. Anyone who thinks these things are people is insane. Anyone who would sell our government to them is a criminal and belongs in prison. There is nothing in the Constitution that makes this "gang of five" bribe sucking clowns above the law. There is nothing in the Constitution that even mentions corporations much less gives them status equal to or greater than the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government.
The Supreme Court of the United States has no right to breathe human life into investment groups owned by terrorist sympathizers, foreign arms dealers or groups working for the downfall of the United States and everything we believe in, but 5 "justices" have done just that. We now have a new government above our government, above our people, one above any law. Five judges have created institutionalized gangsterism as the new form of government for the United States.
No American soldier can ever go to war fighting for a Chinese hedge fund, a German bank or a Saudi Arabian fertilizer company. Will our new debates in Congress be between members representing the opium warlords against the Columbian cartels? Their cash, which long ago has infiltrated one major corporation or bank after another is now heading for your local representative. How important do you think secure borders for America are for these new political "influencers?"
For years we complained about AIPAC, the Sierra Club, the NRA, trial lawyers, trade unions, NAM (National Association of Manufacturers) and the churches that got involved in politics. Behind all of these were people, American citizens, and, on some occasions, Americans who fought for their country, raised kids here and were invested in the survival of America although they didn't always act that way. This was an American problem. Now we aren't even sure we have an America anymore.
Anyone who believes that a massive flood of corporate money into politics won't throw control of both houses of Congress into the hands of the wealthy nations that are also our primary strategic enemies, you know the ones, the ones loaded with oil cash, the ones with 10 cent an hour labor and legal systems that shoot first and ask questions later. They just were told they can buy the United States, not just our government, but our military, and the lives of our soldiers. They can now make our laws, raise our taxes, decide on our civil rights, where we can live, if we can own guns, how late we stay up, where and what we drive and, eventually, how we think. The Supreme Court has given foreign owned corporations the eventual power to silence us all.
When a corporation commits a crime, nobody goes to jail. When wars come, they don't fight, they simply rake in cash. When children are poisoned or workers are killed, they seldom even pay a fine. However, when they want something, billions in tax money for "bail outs" or fat contracts or special laws, they have always gotten it. It has been a battle to control corporations for 140 years. Sometimes the American people have lost, sometimes they have won. Our greatest presidents are the ones who reined in corporate power and kept the influence of money over humanity in check. Think of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Without them we would be living in work camps, stuck at machines all day, our children at our sides. We would be paid in beans and salt pork, dying at 40 in filth like people around the world who live in countries controlled by corporations.
Based on the justices that we want prosecuted being Reagan/Bush "conservatives" you would think this is a liberal/conservative issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing less "conservative" has ever been done by a branch of our government. There is nothing "conservative" about our Supreme Court going insane and abandoning our Constitution and making medical decisions, not to give life to a fetus, but to a bank account.
This is nothing but an extremely unAmerican and unpatriotic group of thieves believing that Americans had given up so many of their civil liberties in silence during the Global War on Terror scam that opening the "Pandora's Box" of class conflict could now be done with nobody saying a word. Their "corporate person" is now a Baron or Duke, the great landlords of the medieval period. Americans are now destined for serfdom. Their political and economic theories, what are they? Is it conservatism or feudalism?
We are already burdened with a representative government that has tied itself to the money spigot because of the incredible cost of media exposure in campaigns. People running for office in ancient Rome would purchase thousands of animals for slaughter in the arena. Mass executions were staged as media events for political campaigns. In fact, the arenas in every Roman city were built for that purpose, today replaced by television and the internet. We thought we had changed since that time. We were wrong.
The framers of the Constitution created the Supreme Court, the Electoral College and originally had Senators appointed, not elected, to protect the wealthy from having their money and land seized by the masses who would otherwise have controlled the government. This was the 1780s. The only "democracy" we knew about was ancient Athens, where the majority of the people living there were slaves. 27 Amendments later, including the Bill of Rights, we have worked to define justice and decency. Generations have fought and died to keep life in our imperfect system from 1780. Who would have thought that 5 people could destroy it all?
Political debate in America is sometimes extreme, often bordering on violence. Feelings are high. How many times have you heard people threaten to leave the country because "their America" no longer exists. We know that few really mean it. When faced with a real threat, no people on earth are to be feared like Americans. When help is needed, no people on earth are to be trusted and relied on like Americans. This is the pride we have in our country and ourselves. We never agree on anything. We aren't supposed to, we are Americans.
Everything we built has been based on a balance, race, religion, ethnicity, social standing, political beliefs, regional interests, all striving and compromising to build something we are all secretly very proud of, something all of us are willing to fight for and many are. Americans all agree on one thing, that our government in Washington is out of control and has been for some time. We all have different ideas on this but agree on the fact itself. We wonder where the politicians come from, men too often "less great" than those of the past, in fact, less great than average. Decisions are continually made that most find puzzling and, in fact, are driven by a rotten underbelly of corruption and self interest.
Now, 5 members of the Supreme Court, people none of us voted for, a group that is answerable to no authority and, seemingly, no law or moral code, a group famous for immoderation, poor judgement and low personal integrity has, either through blindness, avarice or insanity clearly done something so malicious, so unjust and so utterly inconsistent with our Constitution that they, themselves, have become an "enemy of the people."
What is their power? What they have done is not within the scope of the authority given through the Constitution. Their acts are outside the law, their acts are those of a conspiracy, their acts are meant to diminish our freedoms, our sacred institutions and even endanger our lives. Typically, such acts are called crimes and those who commit them are criminals.
What could drive judges, albeit judges appointed with little thought as part of a cheap political ploy, to abandon any American constituency? Corporations have no religion. They care nothing for the unborn. They have no allegiance to a flag, a family or any moral ethic. They serve no person, owe no loyalty other that to stockholders, shadowy groups of Russian oligarchs, Chinese banks, corrupt dictators grown fat on the spoils of their people or the international consortium's of bond and currency speculators who have, for decades, abandoned any economic law to build the ethereal "house of cards" we call the "world economy."
The control of the American electoral process has been given to them. No serving politician can survive now standing against them. Years ago "they" bought our newspapers and our television networks. Fact and truth became whatever they wanted us to believe. "They" gained control of what many thought and what almost all of us see and hear. That wasn't enough. They wanted it all. As their control has grown, so has terrorism, continual war, economic poverty for millions Americans and insensitivity to justice and humanity. Who would expect anything else from a corporation with no blood, no heart and no face?
The Founding Fathers led America on the path to freedom and eventual democracy. The Federalists limited the ability of an impetuous electorate to seize power and "reform" America into chaos and anarchy. This system of government was predicated on the belief that love of country would always burn brightly in America and with progress, freedom and bounty was the inevitable reward of our industry. It is only now too obvious that so much has happened that was unforeseen. It is not a denial of our traditions to correct wrongs when we find them. This was how America was created. We are drowning in wrongs, we all finally agree on this.
The time is now. Party politics have failed. Political theories are little more than empty rhetoric meant to mislead and misinform. State has become church and church has become state. State is less just and church less godly. All we have left is "we, the People." This is how we began and it is now all we have to move forward. It is time for the states to call for a Constitutional Convention to establish, not just a Republic, but a Democracy, by and for the people, the American people, rich and poor, a nation loyal to itself, not tied to corporations, a vast military industrial complex or endless foreign alliances.
If it is to be a genuinely conservative nation, one with individual freedoms, a small government, fewer taxes and more opportunity, a nation as intended, then we will all have to live with it. The bloated corpse we are creating in Washington is emitting a stench we can no longer abide. We will be saying goodbye to our Supreme Court, our seniority system in Congress and our political machines pretending to be "parties" and hello to paper ballots, a free press, term limits and the ability to yank a scoundrel out of office when we catch one.

What the American people have to realise is that they have still got the creativity and balls to be once again a great nation.The scumbag elites,are nothing without the honesty and integrity of the masses.The elite trash,have this time over played their hand.
Now we see the affects of the ruling in Arizona..people are being considered illegal without due process and being allowed to be searched in violation of the 4th amendment.oppressed..and a delegation from Mexico is going to see the politicians that signed the law that was un constitutional against the latino population that are called illegal to prevent them from voting them out of their Nobel entitlements..
obtaining naturalization in a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);
taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);

accepts non-policy level employment with a foreign government,
or you can also say accepts money from a foreign government..treason..covered up by calling it campain contribution ..whew..they should all be put on a boat..I am talking about the Govenor of Arizona..should be taken off our shores…put on a boat to sail the oceans..accepting foriegn money is treason! They have taken our homes, our 401ks, jobs, imposing tyranny against a population calling them illegal without due process subject to seizer..Arizona is one giant State size prizion with cameras on every street and freeway..The Court failed to realize that you can lose your citizenship for accepting foriegn money or employment..and when holding office tht is nothing short of treason!
I think that you all may be misunderstanding the gist of the ruling. McCain/Feingold was a real stifling of free speech. I would think that bloggers/writers would be supportive of freedom of speech.
Keep in mind that both the NRA and ACLU were united in opposition to McCain/Feingold provisions that were a blatantly against the 1st amendment.
I support what the Supreme Court did.
When was the last time a Corporation gave it's life fighting for Democracy?
Great article.
As a veteran and the son of a WWII veteran who I'm sure is turning over in his grave I'd just like to say this is the worse decision the SCOTUS ever made. Even more so then the Dred Scott decision.
Also Gordon your bias seems to be against foreign government influencing our elections. Any Corporation given citizen status is an outrage against a government of the people and for the people, whether foreign or domestic. And I also notice that you don't mention Israel in your list of foreign corporations.
Today's U.S. politicians are puppets owned by great wealth, corporations and the weapons industry. They pass laws that only benefit their masters and against the working masses. They do this with impunity and there is no laws to prosecute them, because even the judges are being paid to do as they are told.
The worst situation in the U.S. is that all the blame is put on the immigrants and people of the middle east. Even do the Muslims are acting against their own religion by committing suicide in order to against the U.S., that doesn't change the fact that there is something rotten in the way the U.S. is being run by warmongers and greedy powerful traitors.
Well, well, where do I start?
Mr. Duff, your premise is totally incorrect, and your "facts" are largely false. While the SCOTUS did declare that a "corporation" has free speech rights it did not declare them to be "a person". But corporations are made up of "persons". The SCOTUS did NOT abslove corporations from the limitations you ascribe to their actions so that part of your editorial is a flat out lie.
The ruling also specifically prohibits foreign controlled corporations from donating to U.S. election campaigns
Your assertion that corporations need nothing that humans need brings into question your sanity, since these corporations are made up of people. I suggest you start a business, then withdraw all human factors from the equation including yourself then let us know how successful your business becomes?
You are correct that corporations are not listed in the Constitution, but then neither are lobbyists, perhaps it is time that they be banned from existence in the halls of Washington as well. Then there are the Unions, they too need to be excluded from politics, as do the staffs of the elected officials. Jefferson had slaves, but no staff, perhaps it is time that we return to those times (of no staffs, I do not endorse slavery).
One one level in this I am in complete agreement with you, I do not like the idea of more money in politics, but I do not agree that the rights of corporations or anyone be abridged merely because you disagree with them. I have always felt that the right answer is politics financed by donations from supporters, individual supporters, not "bundlers", not unions, but individual citizens, and these should have caps.
I often wonder how the left wing of politics reconciles the two diametrically opposed positions that say "we can't allow foreign corporations to influence our elections" but turn a blind eye to actions of politicians who blatantly take $200,000.00 contributions from Chinese immigrants with $30,000.00 a year incomes?
In your diatribe you rail against foreign interests who would attack out basic liberties but then you also claim that the "neocons" are responsible, yet all of the liberties you cite are the very ones that the Democrats in Congress have been attacking for the past 30 years.
"When a corporation commits a crime, nobody goes to jail."
You may want to take that argument up with Michael Kopper, Andrew Fastow, Kenneth Lay, Michael Koenig, and Jeffrey Skilling, all of whom were issued jail sentences for the Enron crimes, but then Ken Lay ducked his jail term by dying (How rude of him).
You commented against ""bail outs" or fat contracts or special laws", while corporations sometimes do get these things, it is BOTH parties that are guilty. There has been much "hay" made over G.H.W. Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld and their ties to Halliburton, but it was Bill Clinton who actually expanded Halliburton's support role for the military during Clinton's famous "reduction in government", which chopped 60,000 troops from the active force and transferred their jobs of Base Service Support to the civilian sector, aka Halliburton/KBR.
In all of your railings one thing that seems to have totally escaped you, that is that THE PEOPLE, not foreign corporations, or foreign nationals or cartels, VOTE. If you are a person swayed by cash, that is your failing and the same goes for others. As for myself, I vote for the candidate that most closely adheres to my ideals. No Candidate is be any means perfect and I will never agree on all things with all people, but we do what we can to get as close as possible. People vote in good people at times and bad people in others. Our current President is an example of the latter, but he too is only temporary, as are the Judges you criticize. Also the ruling is likewise temporary, since, even SCOTUS rulings get re looked from time to time. Want evidence? Simply look at the Heller Decision. The SCOTUS ruled in that decision that gun ownership is an individual right, yet the debate goes on and cases are even now being prepared to challenge "Heller", as always the United States is "The Great Experiment" and the experiment continues…
Mr. Duff:
Nice article, but there are some key points that need clarification… The constitution does cover the concept of FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, Admiralty LAW, jurisdiction and other topics.
Namely definitions, spelling of words and the implied meaning. After a thorough review of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution and Amendments, it is clear to see that the authors of the documents used very specific words they had very specific meanings. There is a very important distinction between an unabridged dictionary and the Blacks Law Dictionary (Version 9). You have to ask yourself why would two different dictionaries be required to define the same word…?
The reason is because the words have a different meaning in a legal context. Words such as:
US Citizen
The supreme court ruling is about SOVEREIGNTY and FICTIONAL CHARACTERS under which they can engage in Commerce, under admiralty law.
A corporation treated as having the rights and obligations of a person. Counties and cities can be treated as a person in the same manner as a corporation.
Read the words carefully, they have a specific meaning and context. The age old adage "Ignorance of the LAW is no excuse" has a very specific meaning. Namely that we have been duped because we do not recognize the definitions and what they truly mean…?
The Declaration of Independence gave man sovereignty under GOD. The Constitution took it back and put man under the jurisdiction of the corporation known as the United States.
I pray that these justices are brought up on TREASON charges as they have NOT decided this case on behalf of THE PEOPLE who they were supposed to protect the interest of. They have given corporations double the voting power of any single voter. Now the corporations can vote individually and on a whole as a "person" and that is definitely wrong. Corporations are not born, do not breathe, do not walk, talk, or have any other people skills. It is a farce to even THINK that a corporation should be labeled a PERSON. Alito knows this and all the other conservatives implants from the Bush and Reagan administrations. They were put there just for this reason and the criminals who put them there should also be tried for their crimes.
You are a guiding light in these mysterious times.
I suggest you read the 180 page opinion. You have several statements in your article that are not exactly true. This does not give free reign to foreign controlled corporations to give money to the political campaigns.
However, if you are truly concerned about this particular focus – regarding inappropriate contributitions to campaigns…I suggest you look at the funding behind a few of the progressives and conservatives. Several middle eastern, wealthy people have given substantially to campaigns for decades. OR let's take a look at the fact that the unions have contributed massive amounts to the current administration.
My premise is the problem is huge and we cannot attribute the statements you made as being accurate about the judges. I read the 180 page opinion. It appears your statements are based on the speech the President made, and that was not accurate – apparently he did not read it either. This is my opinion based on the rendered opinion by the judges.
The founding fathers set up a system of checks and balances. This decision supports that system. I'm not arguing I favor the result or, in fact, any of the above comments. But it's now back to Congress to pass a new campaign reform package to address both this and other issues. That's the way the system works. For a change it did work in favor of free speech, even if corporations will get their way for a while. Better that than government implementing more rules, regulations and laws to restrain free speech. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson That includes the right to free speech.
Gordon Duff is absolutely spot on. Anyone who disagrees with him knows nothing of any law. The "person" is the legal entity that the court needs to place a label on the "man". Thinking otherwise you will surely fail in court.
Here in the UK a statute is defined as: "A legislative rule of society given the force of Law by consent of the governed".
Yes, you heard it, BY CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED! In legal terms, if you have been stopped by the police for any law that is not "Common law", then you are told (haha!) to give out your identity. This identity is your legal person. Without your consent the Common law of breaking a contract cannot be LAWFULLY (I did NOT say "legally") enforced.
Common law is the law over man where no person can stand between the man and God. This LAW covers murder, theft and loss. Loss and theft give statutes(contracts) the force of LAW. A statute is a legal document, not law in itself.
Here's more clarification:
I have my own business registered from my name. Its a legal "person". The work I do pays this "person" instead so my remuneration to this work is a low pay plus dividends… Off this other "person". This way I pay very little tax. If my business folds. This legal "person" becomes nothing. I myself will have no debts but retain this legal "persons" money due to my entitlement.
I recommend everyone here become business "persons". Make a mockery of the donkeys if they wish to make legal entities above the law. But don't step into the fire if you haven't got cast iron legs.
This site is fascinating:
Company/Corp is an enity who does not reg to vote. Its a smoke n mirror case to
not hear Pottawattamie v McGhee. aka-Judges and Prosecutors can frame you with
false evidence and under safe harbor of–Immunity. This war veteran hears noise=
Rattle, Clank, CLANK, rattle, Clank-clank accompanied by not foot soldiers, but
sheep dogs, Baaaaahhhhhhh.
Nothing says traitor like those that would warp and corrupt the election process in this country.
Justice Alito Was Right
By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
– FOXNews.com
Despite claims made by the president, last week's Supreme Court opinion on campaign finance specifically excludes foreign nationals and foreign-owned corporations from its ruling.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling last week on the campaign finance that is still being discussed all over the country. In fact, it was even mentioned by President Obama at Wednesday night's State of the Union address. The high court invalidated its own 20-year-old ruling — which had upheld a one hundred-year-old statute on group political contributions — and it also invalidated a portion of the McCain-Feingold Campaign finance law.
The 20-year-old ruling had forbidden any political spending by groups such as corporations, labor unions, and advocacy organizations (like the NRA and Planned Parenthood, for example). Ruling that all persons, individually and in groups, have the same unfettered free speech rights, the court blasted Congress for suppression of that speech. In effect, the court asked, "What part of 'Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech' does Congress not understand?" Thus, all groups of two or more persons are free to spend their own money on any political campaigns and to mention the names of the candidates in their materials.
On Wednesday night, during his State of the Union address, the president attacked this decision by arguing that the ruling permits foreign nationals and foreign corporations to spend money on American campaigns. When he said this, Justice Samuel Alito, who was seated just 15 feet from the president, gently whispered: "That's not true." Justice Alito was right. The Supreme Court opinion, which is 183 pages in length, specifically excludes foreign nationals and foreign-owned corporations from its ruling. So the president, the former professor of law at the one of the country's best law schools, either did not read the opinion, or was misrepresenting it.
Judge Andrew Napolitano – Fox New Channel's senior judicial analyst.
I could not have said this any better. It's time to take back our government.
Interesting you throw AIPAC in there. They seem to have taken over the proverbial "boogie man" position from the Carlyle Group.
Blaming AIPAC is the 21st century equivalent of citing The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Islamabad, Oct 1 (ANI): Al Qaeda and a North Waziristan-based terrorist group "Brigade 313" have reportedly prepared a plan to launch an attack on the 19th Commonwealth Games, which are due to be held in New Delhi from October 3 to 14.
"Brigade 313" comprises the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and allied extremist group members, including the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Karachi-based Jandullah, and is headed by Ilyas Kashmiri, the Daily Times reported.
Kashmiri, who is a former rogue SSG commando, will be heading the whole operation to carry out this terrorist plot in New Delhi, the paper added.
The intelligence has originated from Kabul where a western military source confirmed the plans of terror strike in India, saying, "We intercepted certain conversations that gave us the impression that the attack on an important sporting event is due in India."
It has also been confirmed that some of the information in this regard originated from a 36-year-old German national- Ahmed Siddiqui- who was caught in Kabul under suspicion of carrying out a terrorist plot in the West. The intelligence about such an attack had also been passed on to India, the paper disclosed.
The Pakistan Interior Ministry, along with various security establishments in the country, is reportedly in a 'state of panic' following the news of another terrorist plot originating from Pakistan.
"We are seriously investigating and taking all precautions that we could, and have been extra-vigilant. Surely another 26/11 or a high-profile terrorist incident now in India would definitely be a major blow, something that none of us want," said a senior ministry member.
However, the Pakistan Foreign Office's spokesman declined to comment on the story, terming it 'baseless'. A western diplomat in close contact with security officials said, "This is what we fear the most... we all have our fingers crossed on this one, but if such an incident does take place, we will be packing our bags."
Previously, some "stateless actors," as described by the Pakistan government, had attacked various targets in India's financial hub, Mumbai, which further strained the tumultuous relations between the two countries and brought them on the brink of war.
Meanwhile, India has raised the security levels for the 19th Commonwealth Games being organised in New Delhi, and deputed more than 100,000 security officials, including elite commandoes, for providing security to the participants. (ANI)

Frankfurt (dpa) – Travellers from every corner of the earth rush through the terminals of Frankfurt International Airport as they head out for their next trips.
Most of them have no idea that underfoot – beneath check-in counter 861 in Terminal 2 – there is a huge collection of items devoted to aviation history, and all of them, 230,000 items in total, belong to one man – Hector Cabezas.
The items are the result collecting that Cabezas has carried out for over 70 years – virtually an entire lifetime for the 79-year-old former pilot.
With loving, exacting care, he has filed his collection alphabetically and geographically.
If one passes through the door of the seven basement rooms where Cabezas keeps the artefacts, then one enters a labyrinth of cardboard figures, cartons, machines and model airplanes.
Cabezas is the only one who knows exactly where everything is. So when visitors come, Cabezas has to guide them.
One of his favourite pieces is the pilot's insignia from the film Air America that actor Mel Gibson personally sent him.
The item is contained in a clear plastic folder right in the front of a black carton with a "USA" label.
In 1987, airport operator Fraport made the rooms available to Cabezas and his wife Paula for their collection.
The tiny museum is 350 square metres, and Cabezas needs every last centimetre of it.
Even the walls are completely covered with mementos, photographs and newspaper articles, and the couple has a story for each and every one of them.
This postcard was sent by a pilot friend of theirs, that cap was acquired in a trade with another collector, they tell visitors.
The couple never invested much in the museum, except of course their time.
And they have a tonne of stories to tell. For example, the day that actor John Travolta, a licenced pilot, landed his own plane at Frankfurt airport in 2002.
At a press conference with Travolta, it was Hector Cabezas who caused a stir because he could name the year that the pilot jacket that the actor was wearing dated from.
"I asked him if he had a few minutes' time," Cabezas said about his encounter with Travolta.
"We then simply drove across the airport grounds in my old clunker of a car to the archive. The entire time I was trying to figure out how I could make it clear to the security people that I needed a day pass for John Travolta," Cabezas added.
Everything began in 1934, when Cabezas was an eight-year-old discovering a passion for collecting stamps.
"But only those with airplane themes, because flying had always been my passion," he says.
At 17, he got his pilot's licence in Argentina, and then went to the Netherlands with his father, soon flying large cargo planes for a living.
However, his flying days were cut short by diabetes, and Cabezas, now grounded, became head of air cargo operations at Germany's largest airport in Frankfurt.
Cabezas experienced the history of the airport himself, and documented it all the while.
This is what makes his collection so special for the airport.
"We may not have our own museum, but since Cabezas' collection above all is comprised of artefacts of the airlines, we can provide a special customer service with his treasures," says Markus Grossbach, head of the airport's central archives.
For example, when an airline celebrates some special occasion, it can avail itself of display items from the Cabezas collection.
Last summer, the 79-year-old handed his collection over to the airport, while assuming the position of curator.
"It's a lifetime appointment," he says proudly.

The first practice is in the books for the West squad at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, and National Recruiting Analyst Greg Biggins saw a bunch of standouts on the offensive side of the ball.
Greg Biggins says: "Dillon Sterling-Cole was probably the top guy. I saw him at the Elite 11 and liked him there. He threw some nice balls. He's most accurate than I expected. He threw the ball in some tight windows.
"I thought Dillon Sterling-Cole had the most upside. He's probably 6-3. He throws a real nice ball. He spins the football really well. He has a live, accurate arm. He's mobile but I think he's very comfortable throwing in the pocket. I think Arizona State is a great fit for him."
Greg Biggins says: "Terry Wilson was also really impressive. I expected him to be more of a dual threat guy that is mostly just a running guy, but he throws a nice ball in the pocket or on the run. He looked good both ways.
"He's probably about 6-2. I don't think he has as strong an arm as Dillon, but he throws the ball well. He throws well on the run. He threw some strikes just rolling out and hitting some guys in stride. Again, way better than I expected. He can throw, for sure. Going to Oregon, I think he fits that system pretty well."
Greg Biggins says: "Darian Owens flashed. He's a UCLA commit. He could play safety but he was playing all receiver. He has strong hands. He needs to clean up his routes a little bit, which is mostly what he is working on, but he has a nice little burst, a little more so than I thought."
Greg Biggins says: "J.D. Spielman was one of the top receivers out there. Every time you looked up, he was making a play. He's a little undersized, but he's real quick, real explosive and he caught everything that was around him."
Offensive line
Greg Biggins says: "Denzel Okaforwas probably the guy who probably got beat the least. He's a tweener between a guard and tackle, but he was playing most guard. He's a Texas commit. He's got a lot of upside."
Greg Biggins says: "I was really surprised with the kid from Hawaii going to Vanderbilt, Sean Auwae. He was our No. 1 rated center, but he was actually moved to tackle because the tackles were getting beat, and he didn't get beat one time. Auwae was maybe the top offensive lineman all day as a tackle."
Greg Biggins says: " Mike Alves, a UCLA commit, he was good. He is a true guard. He did get beat a few times but he looked good. He has a good body and a good frame, and he moves well. He did a good job of stopping people."
Greg Biggins says: " Sean Foster, he's 6-7, 6-8. Leverage will always be an issue for him, but he had some good reps. He is another guy that plays with a little bit of an edge. The o-line/d-line drills were a little lax in terms of emotion, but he kind of got it going a little bit. He has some nastiness to him."
Foster is looking hard at Iowa State and Purdue, and Syracuse is trying to remain involved.
Running Back
Greg Biggins says: "A.J. Taylor, he's got a burst. He's an athlete. He can play both sides but he played running back. He was the best running back and has quickness, burst in the whole, balance, vision, can finish a run. He was the total package. Wisconsin is getting a really good player there."

Sailing related prosecution: California
This case has been making some waves over at SA. I didn't know if a thread has ever been posted here.
Long story short, a deputy police officer (not in his official capacity) was boating at night and rammed his power boat into a sailboat, killing one. He was going 40+ knots. The sailboat helmsman was charged with manslaughter (not the power boater) because he supposedly had been drinking. There are a lot of issues at hand. Here are some links:
abc7news.com: Judge says boat pilot should stand trial in Lake County 6/11/08
Lake County News | California - Judge: Dinius to stand trial for fatal 2006 boating crash
Sailor Charged in Clear Lake Death - Sailing Anarchy Forums
Latitude 38 - The West's Premier Sailing & Marine Magazine
Latitude 38 - The West's Premier Sailing & Marine Magazine
Be interested to hear your guys opinion.
Obliviously another example of how, if you have had a few to drink, you are at fault no matter what the actions of some one else were. The you throw in a corrupt law enforcement division and the poor guy has to depend on a jury to save is neck.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a case of the good ol' boy network covering their own's butt... 40+ Knots at night is not a safe and reasonable speed. Given the speed and maneuverability of most sailboats, even if the helmsman wasn't "drunk" there would have been NO WAY of them avoiding such a collision.
Sounds pretty awful. The worst of it is that even if a jury does the right thing and exonerates the defendant, he will have been put through hell, probably near-bankrupted himself on the defense, and had a permanently damaged reputation. I hope someone has or will sue the deputy civilly, since it seems like "law enforcement" there is not willing to do anything.
Obviously an example of dumb cops throwing their weight around.
Good story, only related via the cop issue. I was hanging out with some friends in college in an apartment, and next door was the apartment of a cop. Walls were thin, we could pretty much hear everything they said, and they were throwing some kind of Cop Keg Party in the apartment - all very loud and very drunk. So the beer runs out, and they get into this big moral quandary, not about whether or not to drive drink to get more beer (that was a given) but about whether to take a patrol car while driving to get more beer, so they don't get pulled over.
I went and read the link, and if the sailor didn't have his running lights on while he was running at night, that's a big problem for him. I think the way the law is written, that's his big hangup. Can't sail at night without running lights, or you'll assume lots/all of liability for boating accidents, as best as I understand it.
Actually, serveral witnesses, one a law enforcement officer, said that the lights were on. Instead of impounding the sail boat as evidence, law enforcement personnel left it unguarded for six hours.
How else could they get someone to turn off the breaker for the nav lights... :)
They also didn't give the deputy a breathalyser test.
Head over to SA and chip in, with words, or money if you can.
Or else start a bodacious Sailnet thread too. But SA has a big head start, and, considering it's SA, is treating the matter seriously.
