New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 3, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Dallas, Texas #75^*. 1 County braces for Labor Day mc ropier j Inc..i-tt • i'iltCh womfc P.O. cox ^5 ^3 c rexes ? Comp. Ie 5?^ By DEBBIE TURNER Staff writer It depends on who's talking, whether the I>abor Day weekend crowd will be as big as usual in New Braunfels. The hotels say yes, we're full Saturday and Sunday. Most of the water-sport businesses along the Guadalupe River say the river's level is too low. And parks in Canyon Lake expect an excess of 100.000 visitors — not quite reaching the record 163.000 persons over the July 4 weekend. Canyon Lake Reservoir Manager Philip Parsley said the outflow from Canyon Dam would remain at IOO cubic feet per Secor d through the holiday weekend. That's not good news for river outfitters. A spokeswoman for as Canoe Trails said the business expects to rent out its equipment with walk-in traffic, but "the water level is low enough that some people may just stay home and watch football." Bad press coverage will keep the usual large crowd away this Labor Day weekend, a spokeswoman for Gruene River Co. said. "The Houston and San Antonio newspapers and magazine articles are saying the river's too low, the river's too low. We've even had some people call for this weekend and ask if the Guadalupe River is closed!" White Water Sports, on the other hand, had no complaints. "We expect to be quite busy. Campers are coming in on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cabins are rented, and calls are steady to reserve equipment," a spokeswoman said. American Red Cross volunteers and Civil Defense personnel will once again be on their river patrol this weekend. Albert Smith said volunteers will be stationed at approximately nine locations along the Guadalupe, numbering about 20 people from each group. While Smith and others stay on the river 24 hours, most of the workers will see duty between 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Monday. In 1981, there were at least 12 drownings in the Guadalupe River (flowing at 1,000 cfs), and the Comal River. For 1982, Parsley could recall only one river drowning, which was the result of a diving accident. However, there have been four drownings in Canyon I,ake so far this year. For those traveling by car, and not by innertube or canoe, the New Braunfels Jaycees club will have its hospitality booth at the southbound reststop area on Interstate 35 from 6 p.m. today to 6 p.m. Sunday. President Doug Miller said coffee, pastries and punch will be available at no cost. Capital murder suspects served with indictments Two San Antonio men, each indicted on three counts of capital murder Aug. 19, were brought from Bexar County Jail to 274th District Court in Comal County Thursday. George Edwin Pittmann, 37, and Francis Irving Chandler, 41, were served with their Comal County, three-count capital murder indictments: the three counts being robbery, rape and aggravated kidnapping. The pair is also charged with aggravated kidnapping by Bexar County. The indictments stem from a July 23 incident, in which Robert and Josephine Williams were kidnapped from their San An tonio home. Mrs. Williams was raped, and Williams was hanged in a shed off Bear Creek Road in Comal County. His body was recovered July 25 The tw'o men were transported back to Bexar County Jail Thursday, after presiding 274th District Court Judge Fred Moore determined attorneys would ha1, e to be court-appointed for them They are being held in Bexar County under $60,000 borid each. "They (Chandler and Pitt-mann \ have to have attorneys, before we can arraign them," District Attorney Bill Schroeder said Friday. "So they were taken back to Bexar Countv. A New ssasielsi Braunfels New Braunfels, Texas Vol. 91 - No. 173 Zeitung 16 Pages FRIDAY September 3, 1982 25 cents (USPS 377-880) Garden Ridge annexation 'cools off' By DY ANNE FRY Staff writer Annexation, viewed from the prospect of a green, shady lawn, looked much better than it did in the sweltering confines of the Garden Ridge City Hall. Some people still don't want to be part of the city. But everyone seemed in a better mood when Thursday's public hearing broke up at 8 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Don Ashby's front yard at Gloxinia and Hoya was at least 20 degrees cooler than City Hall had been Wednesday night. Noisy fans and air-conditioners weren't needed. Comments were heard with no interference, except for the occasional jet plane passing over. "Would you like to rent out this oak tree'"' City Councilman Neal Craigmile asked the hostess. Much of Wednesday's audience showed up at the second hearing, bringing the same complaints. "I think we're biting off more than we can chew," said Adela Luekett, already a city resident. She said, as she did Wednesday, that Garden Ridge wasn't taking adequate care of drainage and street right-of-ways in its present territory. Luekett was especially concerned about FM 2252, which is being re-routed by the Texas Department of Highways. If the annexation goes through, part of the old road will become a city street. Mayor Betty McGranahan said Wednesday night that she had been "informally told" that the state would put the road in good order before turning it over to the new owner I whether that be Comal County or the City of Garden Ridge.) Councilwoman Bobbie Ixmdrum, who went to look at the road Wednesday, reported it in good shape now. A few people in the audience had questions about police protection, which is essentially the only service Garden Ridge has to offer its prospective residents. Ifs a two-man department, run by Chief Robert Howey with part-time help from Dee Crisp. "Is the policeman a certified peace officer? Certified by the state?" asked l^irry Swain of Primrose Drive, part of the proposed annexation area. "Yes, he is," said McGranahan. Swain told the council he saw a young man (probably Crisp) at the Bracken Volunteer Fire Department's fish fry, wearing a badge but no gun. "Is he certified? If so, why didn't he wear a gun? Do the police officers of Garden Ridge not carry guns?" he asked. Jobless rate 9.8 percent WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's unemployment rate held steady at 9.8 percent in August, matching the highest rate of the last four decades, the government reported today. On the eve of the Ixibor Day holiday, some 10.8 million Americans are out of work. I«ibor Department analysts cautioned against reading any good news in the new figures, which were essentially unchanged from July. "I wouldn't necessarily use the word stable' at this juncture'' to describe the unemployment picture, said statistician John Breggar. Deborah Klein, another analyst with the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, said. "I think it s important to keep in mind that, although there appears to be some stability, there are still pockets in the economy that appear very weak." The repetition of July's 9.8 percent unemployment rate was due largely to the fact that total employment rose by 107,000, while unemployment rose by only 15,000, after the government adjusted the figures to reflect seasonal variations. Among adult men, the jobless rate edged up to a post-World War II high of 8.9 percent. For other population groups, unemployment remained at record post-war levels. For all workers execpt those on farms, the bureau said employment fell by 210,000 in August to 89.5 million — the lowest level since April 1979. The bureau said the cutbacks were concentrated in durable-goods industries, such as autos, which lost 130.000 jobs, and in wholesale and retail trade, which was down 80,000. In testimony prepared for the congressional Joint Economic Committee, Janet L. Norwood, commissioner of labor statistics, said, "The unemployment rate for auto workers, which had been moving downward since January, increased sharply in August, to 20.8 percent." At this time a year ago, 7.6 million Americans were out of work and the unemployment rate was 7.2 percent. The August rate marked the sixth consecutive month joblessness has matched or exceeded the previous post-war recession high of 9 percent, set in May 1975, during the business slump brought on by the Arab oil embargo. County jail settlement awaiting judge's okay By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer The out-of-court jail settlement agreed upon by Commissioners Court in July has still not been approved by a U.S. District Judge. But county officials aren't worried. County Attorney Bill Renner feels certain the agreement, which calls for the construction of a new county jail by August of 1985, will eventually receive the judge's approval. "It's (caught in) the squeaky wheels" of justice, Renner said Thursday. "It's not that it's (the agreement) going to fall through or anything." Tim Darilek, administrative assistant to Commissioners Court, had simiiiar feelings. "It's (the judge's signing the agreement) a matter of procedure," Darilek noted Friday. Although the settlement has not officially been approved by the courts, the county is proceeding w ith plans to meet guidelines set out in the settlement. County officials and county-hired architects are going ahead with their plans since once judge signs the settlement papers, the county will be faced with a 30-day deadline to make changes in the present jail system. "That's when the clock officially starts clicking," Darilek said in a telephone interview "We have to proceed and ne ready with everything called upon (in the settlement)," as soon as the judge signs the papers, Darilek added. "That's what we agreed upon in the settlement." Reimer noted, however, that the county did not actually have to have completed all it s plans for renovations on the current jail within 30 days. Instead, the county has 30 days (from when the judge approves the settlement) to "show proof" of what it plans to do, Reimer added. Among those things which will have to be immediately changed in the current jail are new written guidelines for visitation, Reimer said. Also, the county is presently See JAIL, Page 16 Inside See annexation, Page 16 The city wants to annex the shaded area Herald Holiday l,abor Day is a holiday for schools, government offices and most businesses, and the Herald Zeitutiy is no exception.

Former Marine writes his own obit
Walter George Bruhl Jr of Newark and Dewey Beach DE is a dead person, he is no more, he is bereft of life, he is deceased, he has wrung down the curtain and gone to join the choir invisible, he has expired and gone to meet his maker.
He drifted off this mortal coil on _____________ at __________ at his home in ________. His spirit was released from his worn out shell of a body and is now exploring the universe.
He was surrounded by his loving wife of ______ years, Helene Sellers Bruhl, who will now be able to purchase the mink coat which he had always refused her because he believed only minks should wear mink ...
He catalogs his health history:
Walt was preceded in death by his tonsils and adenoids in 1935, a spinal disc in 1974, a large piece of his thyroid gland in 1988, and his prostate on March 27th 2000.
And dubious education:
He drifted through the Philadelphia Public School System from 1937 through 1951, graduating, to his mother's great relief, from John Bartram High School in June of 1951.Walter was a Marine Corps Veteran of the Korean War having served from October of 1951 to September of 1954 with overseas duty in Japan from June of 1953 till August of 1954. ... He chose this path because of Hollywood propaganda, to which he succumbed as a child during WWII ...
Sparing no detail, he outlines the handling of his bodily remains:
There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a glass of Jack Daniels in his hand so that he would appear natural to visitors.
Cremation will take place at the families convenience and his ashes will be kept in an urn until they get tired of having it around. What's a Grecian Urn? Oh, about 200 drachmas a week.
As well as his memorial:
Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate Walt's life in their own way, raising a glass of their favorite drink in his memory would be quite appropriate. Instead of flowers, Walt would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor unfortunate soul in his name.

Report: Palin parts ways with Fox News
posted at 6:51 pm on January 25, 2013 by Allahpundit
- Share on Facebook 1
Her choice, not theirs, according to a source who spoke to RCP.
After a three-year run as a paid contributor to the nation's highest-rated cable news channel, Sarah Palin and FOX News have cut ties, according to a source close to the former Alaska governor.
"It's my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement," the source close to Palin told RCP. "She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion."
The source declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network, such as CNN.
Not surprising given what happened last year at the convention, although the Times claims she and Fox were negotiating a new contract as recently as last week. Maybe she has another offer on the table that's sweeter than theirs?
My first thought when I read the RCP piece was that Mark Begich is up for reelection next year and is already preparing for a strong conservative challenge, but NRO's Robert Costa tweets some skepticism:
About Sarah Palin leaving Fox News: After spending day talking w/ Alaskans, I doubt she's running for anything. Hear she lives mostly in AZ
— Robert Costa (@costareports) January 25, 2013
I thought challenging Begich, a weak blue incumbent in a very red state, was her best bet back to political office, but maybe she's transitioned to Arizona now. (Costa hears that she's still occasionally in touch with Joe Miller, who appears to be planning to challenge Begich himself.) If not politics, then what? Hard to believe she'd trade Fox for CNN. Maybe … Glenn Beck's network, The Blaze? It had 300,000 online subscribers as of last summer and must have many more now, especially since Dish Network started airing it in September. And Beck's aggressively trying to promote it, from making a bid on Current TV to gain a platform on basic cable to opening foreign bureaus in hopes of becoming a sort of libertarian alternative to Fox. She'd instantly raise the network's profile and bring in new viewers. And there's plenty of room on the programming schedule for her: The channel currently airs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET with a two-hour block free from 2-4 so they could give her her own show if that's what she has in mind. If I had to bet, I'd bet that's where she goes.

And the good news is:

And for those of us following 'Climategate' here you go!
It's breaking… :-)
Cyprus from another view…
How it's hitting retired brits!
However, on behalf of 12,000 British pensioners in Cyprus, where the Cypriot government has threatened them with a 6.75% – 9.9% haircut on their savings, not on their weekly income, but on their excess savings – the media is in a furore!
The Government is threatening to stop sending their pension to Cyprus to 'save it from being stolen by the EU bandits'!!!
The headlines are full of the desperate plight of those poor pensioners…
I love the smell of fresh hypocrisy first thing in the morning.
More good news!
He's tanking!!

The Mask of Anarchy:
Written on the Occasion of the Massacre at Manchester
By Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Then all cried with one accord,
`Thou art King, and God, and Lord;
Anarchy, to thee we bow,
Be thy name made holy now!'
And Anarchy, the Skeleton,
Bowed and grinned to every one,
As well as if his education
Had cost ten millions to the nation.
For he knew the Palaces
Of our Kings were rightly his;
His the sceptre, crown, and globe,
And the gold-inwoven robe.
So he sent his slaves before
To seize upon the Bank and Tower,
And was proceeding with intent
To meet his pensioned Parliament
When one fled past, a maniac maid,
And her name was Hope, she said:
But she looked more like Despair,
And she cried out in the air:
`My father Time is weak and gray
With waiting for a better day;
See how idiot-like he stands,
Fumbling with his palsied hands!
`He has had child after child,
And the dust of death is piled
Over every one but me–
Misery, oh, Misery!'
Then she lay down in the street,
Right before the horses' feet,
Expecting, with a patient eye,
Murder, Fraud, and Anarchy.
When between her and her foes
A mist, a light, an image rose,
Small at first, and weak, and frail
Like the vapour of a vale:
Till as clouds grow on the blast,
Like tower-crowned giants striding fast,
And glare with lightnings as they fly,
And speak in thunder to the sky,
It grew — a Shape arrayed in mail
Brighter than the viper's scale,
And upborne on wings whose grain
Was as the light of sunny rain.
For those of us with pets:
Be aware!!
Time flies when one is having fun!
I must away :-(
Take care and God Bless all who venture here in the "Gulch"!!
You go, Scrumpy. As long as the Gulch remains, you'll never be alone.

Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
Didn't find time to call
Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
So why be lonely?
Sittin' alone, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' to climb the walls

I'm putting some plastic wrap over the rest of them and saving them for tonight. Formal clothing, corned beef sandwiches, cabins, dogs and dancing. No wonder this place is picking up members, lol.
I love it here. I was thinking of going classic tonight but I think in honor of it being a Celebrity Ball, we should all wear bling, too. Guys, you're in, too. There's enough cufflinks and tie tacks for everyone.

Also, your cabins, poses, swanky dress (nice!), tiaras for all gurls and bling for the boys for tonight are purrrfect. lol I can't imagine we'll ever run out of reasons to celebrate around here!
Since I'm in a 'let's just build it' mode, what do you think about a combo art gallery and library and 5 Star Restaurant/snack bar somewhere near the pachyderm roasting arena? We could have a nice replica of bmore's Lady Liberty standing Mama Griz guard at the door to protect our treasures, including all poses, temporary collections & permanent bmore originals, Fallon's blog book, Sarah's new Christmas book, other books, videos and etc. I have a slew of cook books and cooking supplies to feed up to 500 to donate to the cause.
Might as well add a bar where we hold St. Patty's day mass and other libation celebrations while we're at it, no??? Heck, yeah.
Let's vote her up in honor of CrazyFish!

I love Three Dog Night.
My husband's been looking up things on The Takings Clause from the Bill of Rights.
". . . nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. "
(Amendment V)
From Heritage:
Edward Sullivan
You need to write on poem on how the Left always makes up things in the Constitution to get what it wants, and ignores things in the Constitution to get what it wants.
For instance, here's the entire 5th Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The Left loves the due process clause and finds it infinitely malleable.
BTW The Heritage Foundation has an online guide to the Constitution that is part of their First Principles project.
The Heritage Guide to the Constitution is intended to provide a brief and accurate explanation of each clause of the Constitution as envisioned by the Framers and as applied in contemporary law. Its particular aim is to provide lawmakers with a means to defend their role and to fulfill their responsibilities in our constitutional order. Yet while the Guide will provide a reliable reference for lawmakers and policy-makers, and be especially useful for the trained jurist, it is written to be explanatory and educational, accessible and helpful for informed citizens and students of the Constitution generally….
In addition to the text of the Constitution itself, and as reflected by extensive references throughout the Guide, we have taken three widely recognized sources to be especially authoritative in this project. First, The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, the definitive collection of the records and debates of the Constitutional Convention, written by participants of the Convention, including in particular the extensive notes taken by James Madison. Second, The Federalist Papers, the great series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison in 1787 and 1788 to defend the Constitution during the debates over the document's ratification. And third, Joseph Story's Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, a classic and substantive work on the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, written in 1833 by one of its best scholars and one of the greatest justices of the Supreme Court.

"We stand together because peace must come to the Holy Land," Obama said. "Even as we are clear eyed about the difficulties, we will never lose sight of the vision of an Israel at peace with its neighbors."
Anyone else hear or see this? Cleverly worded as if it is Israel's fault that there is not peace in the Middle East.
If Arabs laid down their arms there would be peace, if Israel laid down their arms there would be no Israel…

Second Dr Carson…
I was torn and voted for Dr Carson…
Both spoke so eloquently…
great catch. Hotair reported only the top 10 names in their post. they left out the other 13 names and/or group it with the cat "other" which means she beat the following people:
NH Senator Kelly Ayotte
AZ Governor Jan Brewer
KS Governor Sam Brownback
Former IN Governor Mitch Daniels
SC Governor Nikki Haley
OH Governor John Kasich
NM Governor Susana Martinez
VA Governor Bob McDonnell
IN Governor Mike Pence
TX Governor Rick Perry
OH Senator Rob Portman
SC Senator Tim Scott
SD Senator John Thune
So Bluegill is exposed as a liar or a dumbas@ either way it works. but its a straw poll so the results don't really matter either w3ay but with the additional information seems like Gov Palin is doing well enough in people's minds since the majority of people think she isn't runnning for anything atm. also many of the names she beat like Perry and Martinez and MCdonnell are talked about a lot as possible candidates in 2016. I guess it would suck to be a Perry supporter with dreams of 2016. But buck up Perry supporters its only 2013 and its a freaking straw poll so doesn't really matter much

Re: ROVE's comment
"…if I did run for office and win, I would serve out my term, and I wouldn't leave office midterm."
Not according to Rove's own words in his own book. I would assume rove wrote the book himself and/or signed off on it:
With Gillespie in place, I could leave with confidence that an experienced hand would be on board to handle anything that came up (pg 493-4).
The Plame investigation had exhausted more than my physical reserves. It had also burned through a significant portion of my family's finances. I'd made sure that no one really knew just how big of a bite my legal tab had taken out of my savings, but I had juggled as long as I could without putting my family's financial security at risk. More important than money, however, was the toll that my life had taken on my wife and son. I could see more clearly how the press attention, the protesters surrounding our house, the ugly anonymous letters and snarky Internet postings had weighed on them, evening if I'd been able to block most of it out (pg 494).
I felt angry that financial circumstances were forcing me to leave, but I felt grateful the president supported my complicated decision (pg 495).
Karl Rove like Bluegill and other Palinhaters out right liars.

How many different ways can we express ourselves as to our opinions?
They have no right to use the word marriage, civil union yes, for the granting of legal rights under the law same as heterosexual couples have.
That's it!

I posted some of the French links last week. I think I'll wait until the next marriage thread to post them again. It probably won't be long, you know.
The French are supposed to have another march this Sunday in Paris. I'll definitely post more then. They've been in an uproar over permits. Evidently the administrative tribunal of Paris rejected their request, and they've appealed to the Council of State. I imagine they'll do it one way or another. I think it's probably why they've now put a big black X over the mouth of the woman in their profile photo.
They've been holding rallies and posting photographs. They have a boutique as well.

wolfsDad on March 21, 2013 at 12:51 AM
Glad you like the links. I've been fascinated by what's been going on in France. They've cut to the chase with a lot of common sense.
"Un enfant, bien sûr, a besoin d'un papa et d'une maman!"
"A child, of course, needs a dad and a mom!"
I don't know French, but my daughter does. When Bing doesn't make sense, I ask her.
Meanwhile our DOJ in a brief to SCOTUS has said that having a mother and father is superfluous. Anyone will do. This flies in the face of reality and research.
Our prez has big issues with abandonment. I think his entire tenure has been making us pay for what his mom and dad did to him.
Opponents of the marriage for all change of branch [probably s/b route]: their Parisian event on Sunday will follow the avenue de la Grande Armée until place Charles-de-Gaulle Etoile, rather than follow the Champs-Elysées (see map of location). The administrative tribunal indeed rendered its decision Wednesday afternoon, unsurprisingly, confirming the prohibition to scroll on the prestigious avenue.
This decision comes as this Wednesday morning, the commission of the acts of the Senate adopted the Bill on same-sex marriage after his vote by deputies in February. The draft will be considered by the House from April 4.
The tribunal has however agreed to door alternative route Jersey-place Charles-de-Gaulle Etoile via avenue de la Grande Armée, in continuation of the Champs-Elysées. A podium will be installed near the Arc de triomphe. Despite the change of program, the collective hopes to gather more people than on the occasion of the January 13 event, during which the police prefecture had identified 340000 participants.
Whether or not you know French, the video is great to watch.

Oh this takes the cake!! You will get a good laugh then maybe cry over the wasting of our tax dollars.
"Take the grant that has just been awarded to three Doctors at Yale University. Under the circumstances I think I can refer to them as Quacks.
They've been given $384,949.00 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that was set up to invest money in the sort of job creation scheme that Ed Balls would like to see the UK undertake. $384,949.00 is a lot of money to feather your academic nest with, and I'm sure the good Doctors won't get their feathers ruffled if I take a closer look at what precisely they are doing with this money."
The meat: "For working under the august figure of Professor Richard Prum (please note: that is Prum, not Plum. You will be grateful for me mentioning that…) and enlisting the politically correct assistance of 'high school students from under-represented minorities' they have embarked on a four year long 'exciting opportunity' to, er, write a lengthy and earnest manuscript describing their progress, er, measuring the erect penis of hundreds, if not thousands, of Ruddy Ducks."

This is not my poem, but it is fitting for the time we are in:
This once great nation
Can no longer stand the inflation
Brought about through manipulation,
Greed and politically correct capitulation
To the puppets put in place by your corporations,
Agents of the beast the bringers of this abomination.
It's all been foretold you too can read the end
If they haven't led you too far astray
With the purchase of the watchdogs of the people
The media who sings their praises from hymnals up a steeple
Of purposefully disseminated government approved misinformation
Another of the deadly plagues spewed forth from every single station.
Children are starving across the nation
While you yet again go on another vacation
Grandmothers die in the un-air-conditioned heat
So on fancy five hundred dollar sheets you can sleep
A mother is threatened with jail for growing vegetables for her child
A soldier billed for risking his life so you can wage war for what you revile.
Money Power Oil Redistribution and Control
When was it exactly that you sold your very soul?
You have to know that a far greater hell for you awaits,
For all of those who commit evil through legislative mandates.
Where will you go when your money is not your own
When you can't afford to live and you no longer have a home
Do you think they will take care of us all then the ones we elected
Do you think your family your rights your very life will be protected?
Prepare now my friends you are living the very end
They won't help you and you best take heed
If you don't believe me just research their deeds
Open your door and look outside
What you see may make you want to hide
We all may have to do so and very very soon
Please wake up now and stop marching to their tune!
God bless and keep we the people
From being assaulted from all sides by your evil
In the end as was written what is good will hold sway
The question is how many of us will be alive on that day.
Thank you all for your attention.
Can you yet smell the nations' dissention
We "Will not go quietly into that good night"
Prepare ourselves for one hell of a fight.

You're welcome, Scrumpy, and I like the poem! Soon after Obama was elected in the town we were in at that time our pastor told the congregation he was ready to go to jail rather than act against conscience. There are those who truly won't go gentle into that good night.

Noemie Emery: Why can't conservative candidates win Republican presidential primaries?
I hope Novaculus doesn't mind me bringing this in from the headlines thread because it's just that good and negates this silly article:
So there are NO viable conservative candidates?
Why would that be so?
Where would Sarah Palin be now if the establishment Republicans (aka the Right Wing of the Political Class)had defended her against the onslaught of the Democrat-Media Complex instead of joining in the effort to portray as an ignorant, Bible-thumping snowbilly?
Palin had an enviable track record in Alaska and electrifying charisma. But her record in Alaska was built on her willingness to challenge the corrupt and self-serving without regard to their political affiliations. She didn't just defeat Democrats, she defeated the corrupt old guard of the Alaska Republicans.
She absolutely terrified the Political Class Republicans, as do all Conservative candidates with potential. They were happy to join with Democrats and the Media in their (all too successful) efforts to toxify her image and destroy her as a viable candidate.
The whole disgusting spectacle served as a warning to all potential Conservative candidates: If you run and challenge the Political Class, you (and your family, including your children!) will not only be ruthlessly defamed and smeared by the Democrat-Media Complex. Your own party's leadership may not only fail to help, they may join in!
Nothing will change as long as these self-serving tools retain control of the Republican Party.

The Easton Synergy 40 Grip Composite Stick is a more basic form of the Synergy 60 Grip, but still has the same essential design.
The shaft is tapered, getting thinner towards the blade, and fully coated with grip for more stability. The mid-taper kick point is the point of inflection where energy is stored and released to the puck, allowing for a powerful shot. The uni-directional carbon, like the Synergy 60 Grip, also increases the torque and strength of a shot.
The blade also offers some unique features, such as the toughened blade toe, allowing for increased stick to puck stability. Also, a woven design and segmented construction of the blade provide for increased grip and a consistent feel while handling the puck.
The Synergy 40 Grip captures all of the necessary elements to succeed on the ice.

California Blue Shield pledges $180 million in rebates
■ The money will go to customer credits, public health and ACOs. The insurer will limit annual income, but doesn't guarantee it won't raise rates again.
Blue Shield of California has pledged that the nonprofit health plan will limit its annual net income to 2% of revenue.
The company's pledge takes effect for its 2010 income. It will credit $167 million of its 2010 income to current customers, who can use the credits toward future insurance purchases. For individual subscribers, those credits will range from $25 to $160, and from $130 to $415 for a family of four. Employers who pay for workers' coverage will be credited between $110 and $130 per employee.
Blue Shield also will give an additional $10 million to fund accountable care organizations and send $3 million to its charitable foundation to spend on public health.
Blue Shield Chief Executive Officer Bruce Bodaken announced the company's decision June 7 in a speech delivered at the Commonwealth Club, a public forum in San Francisco.
"So I'm a health plan CEO pledging to make health care more affordable," he said. "I know that sounds like something you're more likely to hear at a comedy club than the Commonwealth Club. But despite the current image of health plans as culprits behind the health care crisis, Blue Shield is working hard on many fronts to be part of the solution."
Blue Shield's pledge does come with a caveat -- the 2% promise holds only as long as "the company's board of directors determines that Blue Shield remains financially solvent, with sufficient funds to make the investments needed to stay competitive." The company said it might have to raise rates in the future.
But Bodaken said, "When our members receive a rate increase in the future, they will know that it's not so we can make more money."
Credit to health reform law?
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius welcomed the company's announcement and suggested that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act helped prompt the company's decision.
"While such voluntary efforts are great for Blue Shield's policyholders in California, today's announcement also reinforces the importance of the Affordable Care Act and rigorous state review of insurance rates," she said.
Whether other insurers will follow Blue Shield depends in part on regulatory and public pressure, said Steven Wallace, PhD, professor of public health and associate director of the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Los Angeles.
"What happens in California is looked at nationally, and often but not always followed," he said. "Definitely it will have an impact on California. Its impact nationally is less certain."
Bodaken talked about the health reform law in his speech, but didn't say whether it was directly responsible for the company's decision to limit income. He said reform will expand access, but won't be enough to make sure everyone is covered.
"Here's the brutal reality: In the past decade, California HMO rates rose an average of 11% per year. Even if we reduce that trend to 8%, premiums will double by 2020. That means our comprehensive benefit package will cost nearly $40,000 for a family of four," he said. "By contrast, wages in California are on track to rise by just 50% to an average of $75,000 in 2020. The simple fact is that unless premiums track wage increases more closely, the number of uninsured will snowball, undermining the coverage gains made by health reform."
He also explained how the company determined that it had excess income even though it was proposing to raise rates by as much as 59% on 193,000 individual subscribers as recently as March. The company later withdrew that request. Bodaken said the company still lost $24 million on its individual business in 2010 but that those losses were offset by investment gains and employer-sponsored business.
"While the credit we are announcing today is not as large as some of the rate increases our members have received in the past year, it demonstrates that we are doing all we can to keep coverage affordable."
Medical-loss ratio rules
Blue Shield of California, like every health plan in the country, is required under the health system reform law to spend a set minimum on care. Health insurers must spend 80% or 85% of its premiums on health care -- depending on the size of the insured group -- under medical-loss ratio minimums that took effect in January.
The requirements were credited with prompting rate reductions recently announced for nearly 10,000 Aetna customers in Connecticut. Policyholders will pay premiums an average of 10% lower for their health insurance beginning in September, in a rare case of rate reduction.
As part of the health reform law, Blue Shield of California and other health insurers are subject to federal oversight of rate increases. Even in states like California, where insurance regulators do not have the authority to reject unreasonable rate hikes, federal authorities can intervene.
The California Legislature is again considering granting the state insurance commissioner power to reject rate hikes. The state Assembly approved the measure a week before Blue Shield's announcement.
"Bodaken's announcement is a last-ditch attempt to discourage legislators from giving the state insurance commissioner 'prior approval' authority, which would allow the commissioner to stop proposed rate increases in the individual and group markets," Consumer Watchdog President Jamie Court wrote in an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for insurer trade group America's Health Insurance Plans, responded to Blue Shield's announcement with the group's oft-repeated stance that insurers have a relatively narrow profit margin that is a small part of overall health care spending.
"Health plans are doing everything they can to keep coverage as affordable as possible for consumers and employers. The track record clearly shows that this is an efficient, low-margin industry and that rising medical costs are the primary drivers of premium increases."

Burton Concord Boa Snowboard Boot Men's
With the fast and efficient Dual Zone Boa Coiler closure, the Burton Men's Concord Boa Snowboard Boot allows you to instantly adjust the boot's upper and lower zones on the fly, as well as makes for effortless removal, which is especially nice after a long day on the slopes. This boot is designed with Burton's Total Comfort Construction, which pushes back the lacing system from the boot's widest point, making for a minimal break in time. This reduces pressure points when your boots are brand new, as the widest point of the foot often becomes the first to get painful hot spots. Ideal for all mountain, freestyle, and park riding, this boot falls right in the middle of Burton's responsiveness rating. The boot's medium flex PowerUp Tongue provides greater rebound and durability, allowing you to get the most out of your boots over the course of the season. The articulated Flex Notches make for a fluid feel when you're carving down the mountain or pressing through the park. Inside the Concord, you'll find a heat moldable Imprint 3 Liner that's beefed up with a Focus Cuff and Rad Pad for a locked in feel with extra heel hold. This liner is treated with an Aegis antimicrobial coating to combat foul smelling microbes all season long. There's a highly supportive Level 2 Molded EVA footbed that's reinforced with an ESS Support Shank, helping you stick heavy landings without your arch collapsing under heavy pressure. Plus, the Concord's DynoBite EST sole has ReBounce cushioning to dissipate harsh landings and nasty vibrations from rough terrain.

"Putting U.S. troops back in Iraq, while assuaging our well deserved and well earned feelings of national and personal guilt, will put Americans once again in the middle of a religious, sectarian civil war. As with so many modern wars, a solution lies not in violence, but in accommodation; not in division, but in unification; and not in killing, but in compromise."

Hoh, now a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, served with the U.S. Marine Corps in Iraq and on U.S. Embassy teams in both Afghanistan and Iraq He was subsequently appointed Senior Civilian Representative of the U.S. government for Zabul Province in Afghanistan.

Aphrodite's Comeuppance
Basilic had moved back to the seat next to Aphrodite. She slid her hand up his leg, so he put his arm around her neck and she pulled out her vodka again. It seemed she couldn't cope with reality sober. He'd handed her a mint, the smell of weed was overpowering him, and he almost vomited, the smell disgusted him so much.
"Aphrodite, I hadn't noticed before... You're so hot in that outfit. But... Surely you're cold? The heating on this bus seems to have shorted out," he asked, with a derogatory snort. "They could at least try to not let us freeze to death. I paid good money to use this bus." He withdrew his arm from her neck and she seemed put out, and looked about to complain, when she realised that he was taking off his jacket. He slung it around her, and then replaced his arm. She smiled at him slyly, and he looked her in the eyes. Lust filled them. He knew what she wanted. So, he obliged. With a little extra of his own.
He moved his head in and pressed his lips against hers, his left hand on her waist and the other in her hair. He was disgusted at the taste of her lips, the last of the weed that lingered about her mouth. He broke the contact of their lips and breathed a little, adding to it the tiniest amount of basilisk venom. Not enough to cause permanent harm, but enough to make her drowsy; then he kissed her more forcefully, running his hand up and down her side, right hand ruffling her hair slightly more powerfully than before.
Breathing more of the venom into her mouth, she was soon asleep, her head resting on his shoulder. A slight grin appeared upon his face, and he also looked down the bus and saw Martin and Auvrea kissing again, her brilliant white form shrouding his, the light and purity of it stunning him yet again. He knew how pure she was, mentally and... Physically...
He wondered whether, if given another chance, he'd follow her example, and knew immediately that he wouldn't be able to. Abstinence was not his strong point. And he knew that, although he had performed bad deeds, he wasn't essentially bad and strived to do good. Still, he admired her. Hell, he admired Martin as well, for not casting her away.


text: May 9, 2012 | Stella Rebecca | Leave a comment Mozilla has put its foot down and become the first to oppose the controversial bill, CISPA. Where Oracle, Microsoft and Facebook have supported the Internet surveillance bill that passed House last week, Mozilla now stands against. Mozilla stated that even though they support a more secure internet, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, CISPA, is too vast and based on its writings, implies alarming plans that go beyond security. The technology company wrote to Forbes reporter Andy Greenberg that the bill causes damage to their privacy and has ambiguous details regarding cybersecurity. Security is one thing but CISPA goes on to provide immunity to companies and government that are too broad around information misuse. Mozilla is officially the first major tech company to openly speak against CISPA. The Bill passed in a 248-168 vote and the same day Microsoft came out with their statement that their support was declining and that any new legislation must permit them to honor privacy and security promises the company makes to the customer. Despite the statement, Microsoft has not withdrawn the support till now. Other technology companies that are in favor of the bill are Oracle, Symantec, Verizon, AT&T, Intel, and trade association CTIA. The last one basically includes representatives of Sybase, Nokia, Qualcomm and T-Mobile. If put forward by the Senate, CISPA would not officially permit the NSA or Homeland Security any further surveillance power. However it would still give rise to a new way of information sharing between companies and government agencies with restricted oversight and privacy safeguards. Regarding the Senate, Mozilla said that they hope the Senate fully looks over and considers these issues with stakeholder input before going ahead with this novel piece of legislation. It is true that America is under a grave threat of cyber attack. It is also true that the attack isn't merely from hackers inside the country but foreign cyber weapons such as those being billed by Russia and China are competing against those America has at the moment. The basic reason for overall opposition is that the bill may use private information and won't really know what to do with that information. There is also the talk about how many personal details should the government being looking out for and how much they would need. If there were to be a threat of cyber attack, there is a vast spectrum as to how the threat could be propagated. Privacy is a major concern from a teenager wanting it from their parents to the citizens of a country demanding from its government. Parents have found ways to combat the demand for privacy by spyware applications which are now commonly installed in the phones of their kids. These apps from Mobistealth or Flexispy are being used to supervise kids and thus keep them safe and secure. But the point opposition is trying to make here is, that not everyone in America is a kid and not everyone is a risk to the cybersecurity. Representative Jared Polis who is a Colorado Democrat and onetime Web entrepreneur stated that CISPA would basically waive off every privacy law ever taken out in the name of cybersecurity. He said that allowing the NSA and military to supervise on Americans on American land is basically going against every principle the country was established on. The future of CISPA is now headed to the Senate where related cybersecurity legislation has been delayed for years. The Senate Majority leader stated that he wished to go ahead with this legislation in May. By the looks of opponents rallying and the degree of debate, the outlook is uncertain.

It's no secret that heading off to college comes with a hefty price tag. Students attending college are living on their own and facing the real world first hand—and the bills and expenses that come along with it. Students must pay for things like tuition, housing, food, school books, transportation (if they don't live on campus), fees to join organizations, uniforms for sports teams—the list goes on!
In order to avoid living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and top ramen for the duration of their college years, there are many fundraising ideas for college that can get students to think outside the box and start raising funds to help offset their expenses.
Crowdfunding for College
Whether it's rallying support from a community of friends and family back home or organizations they are involved with, creating a college crowdfunding campaign is an excellent way for college students to spread the word of their fundraiser across social media networks. If the college has their own Facebook page or website, asking them to help promote a campaign could make a huge difference for your fundraiser as this would help gain more exposure. Offline fundraising events can also be held in conjunction with an online campaign, making it the perfect route for college students to keep their fundraiser organized.
Five Great College Crowdfunding Campaigns
Please Help Anna Keep Her Spot at Oxford!
Anna Gier is an 18-year-old student who lives just outside of New York City. In January 2015, she was ecstatic to receive her acceptance letter from Balliol College at the University of Oxford, England. Anna says she has "a deep passion for learning, research papers and snazzy shoes," but what really drew her to this university was the unique system under which it operates. The price tag that comes along with Oxford University is a large one, and although both of her parents are self-employed, there's a real possibility that her family and Anna won't be able to make this happen without financial support. That's where her YouCaring campaign comes into play. She has been able to raise more than $3,600 toward her fundraising goal. One of the things that really makes Anna's campaign unique is the creative writing in her fundraiser details (check it out!) and the stylish pamphlet she created to tell her story, which can be found in the fundraiser image gallery.
David Chung is a visually impaired student who is majoring in music performance: operatic voice emphasis at Biola University. In November 2015, David auditioned for the Biola University's Conservatory of Music, and three weeks later, he received a letter from the conservatory, informing him that he was accepted into the B.M. program in operatic voice performance. David's tuition, food, transportation expenses, voice lesson fees and even a new computer were provided for his first semester, but in order for him to remain at Biola next semester, he will need to raise $6,500, which was the purpose of his YouCaring campaign. David utilized the power of creating a great video for his fundraiser and used the hashtag #BiolaIsMyHome! in his fundraiser title so supporters could easily find it online. He also asked the Biola University Chorale to promote his fundraiser on its Facebook page. He has successfully reached his goal of $5,400!
Every Little Bit Helps Andy Accomplish His Academic Goals
Andrew Daniel Rocha spent his childhood in the East Los Angeles school system while living in an impoverished neighborhood. He attended Pasadena City College and received poor grades while getting into debt as he tried to cover his mom's bills. He had been diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis and had to take time off of work. When his mother regained the ability to work, he decided to pursue his education, and in 2014, Andrew opted to live in his car to complete the four-year university transfer requirements. Through generous support from friends, he was able to transfer into the top school of Optical Engineering at the University of Arizona. Driving to the University of Arizona last year, he had $400, everything he could fit into his car and $12,000 in out-of-state-tuition debt. With the help of his YouCaring campaign and an academic scholarship for the remainder of 2015, Andrew is now close to having the funds to pay for the rest of his 2016 tuition. Please take a moment to read Andrew's inspirational story on his fundraising page!
Haley Tankersley started her YouCaring campaign when she was no longer able to continue paying for her college tuition. Being an out-of-state student, she is paying upward of $10,000 more than her peers who have in-state residency to attend Colorado State University. Haley is an equine sciences major, which is a very competitive and expensive degree to pursue due to the hands-on training and riding with live horses, and the opportunity to work with the best in the industry. Haley's dream is to create a place of solace by owning and operating her own horse sanctuary and rescue, along with giving our veterans a place and a chance to get back on their feet if they are having a difficult time adjusting to civilian life after serving our country. Being both an advocate for animal welfare and a proud military wife, Haley wants to serve both causes. Being able to complete her degree in equine sciences will help her to begin bringing that dream to life. So far, Haley has been able to raise $5,915 towards her goal of $12,000.
Rachael and Matt Sebold have mentored and cheered on Manuel Cantillano over the past decade as he has grown up at Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos orphanage in Nicaragua. Manuel has been at the top of his class every year and is a natural leader and talented athlete. His YouCaring fundraiser was set up to help pay for Manuel to go to college in Minnesota, starting in January 2016, and all donations will go toward his school (tuition, books, and fees) and health care costs. Meanwhile, Rachel and Matt will provide Manuel with a home, clothes, food, airfare and transportation, and support him in every way they can. Their goal was to raise enough to cover his first year-and-a-half: one semester of intensive English at Global Language Institute, followed by one year of community college, along with health care and insurance. Their campaign raised $17,311, beating their fundraising goal, and Manual is now in Minnesota attending school. You can learn more about Manuel's journey on this blog started by Rachael and Matt.

Just leave.Mature
As you stumble out into the stagnant Spring air of May, you feel quite courageous. Nothing is better than breathing fresh air after spending your life in a basement. Something about this feeling has you seeking adventure, something besides an average day. In fact, you see no harm in just skipping class altogether.
You throw down your bag, which is nearly empty anyway, and take a right turn down the opposite street towards the city and the trailer parks. Several girls who know who you are spot you and approach. One of them is significantly short. She has long black straight hair and a face with round but unpleasantly arranged features. Another has medium brown hair, she is taller and seems to be staying close to the shorter girl, as if for companionship or maybe even to protect her. The third has curly, red, short hair and several peircings. Despite her offputting appearance, she has a shy stance.
The short one seems to lead this group with the brown haired girl as her close beta. The red-head seems reluctant to follow them but still does so. You can immeadiately tell she is not as influential as the other girls.
"Little boy, do you go to our high school?" the short one inquires. You are confused and slightly insulted, since you are pretty sure that they are two classes below you. You still answer, "Yes, I am a Senior there." The one with brown hair looks down and giggles annoyingly. You also look down and notice you are wearing some sort of floral print blazer. It must have been one of the things stored in your closet when you moved in.
All three girls are now laughing, the short one being the loudest. Then you look at her and begin to laugh along nervously. She stops laughing and narrows her already small eyes. "Do you know who I am?" she says as her pupils dialate. You shift back slightly while saying "I have seen you around, but I've yet to know your name."
"Claudia," she interjects. "This is Sabrina" she says while motioning to the brunette. She motions the opposite way to say "and this is Dianne", she looks at you for a moment through her paprika colored curls.

racial sex.
The homelands that apartheid's architects were desperate to portray as independent republics were wily enough to exercise their autonomy when it came to services frowned on by their masters in Pretoria. But times change. These days, the homelands are pedestrian compared with what is on offer in Johannesburg.
They, and their leaders, have virtually outlived their usefulness. The forced removals of black people to tracts of poor-quality land deemed to be their places of tribal origin is a receding nightmare. There is no doubt that the four 'independent' and six 'semi-independent' homelands will be brought back into South Africa proper by a post-apartheid constitution. But until then they are providing one last service for the ruling National Party that conceived, bore and will bury them.
After last Monday's massacre of ANC supporters in Ciskei, President FW de Klerk, out of respect for Ciskei's independence, did not defend Brigadier Oupa Gqozo's right to continue his dictatorship there. However, the homelands are a pillar in the strategy to build an anti-ANC alliance in preparation for multi-
racial elections.
Seated behind the homeland delegations sympathetic to Mr de Klerk at the negotiations on South Africa's future are white advisers provided by Pretoria. The Foreign Minister, Pik Botha, told a National Party conference last week that the government planned to put together an alliance that, with the help of homeland leaders, could take more than half the vote.
It is wishful thinking, but the population figures show that the battle for the homeland vote will be crucial in deciding who governs South Africa. Nearly two- thirds of South Africa's blacks officially live in the homelands. Seven million people are divided between the four 'independent' states - Transkei, Venda, Bophuthatswana and Ciskei, known as the TVBC states.
Another 9.5 million reside in the six 'self-governing' territories, such as Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi's KwaZulu, that either resisted independence or were considered unprepared even by Pretoria's low standards.
Three million people were forcibly removed to the homelands - more often than not, places they had never seen. Apartheid's planners designated one homeland for each tribal group or sub-group as part of the scheme to strip blacks of their South African citizenship but keep vast labour pools in reserve. The homeland boundaries were drawn to reserve the best land for whites, leaving tiny blobs of land scattered across vast areas.
Bophuthatswana comes in seven bits, as far as 200 miles apart. KwaZulu is split into 44 pieces. You can drive through a 'foreign country' and never know you've been there. Only Transkei bothers with border posts, and then only on the main road between East London and Durban, which crosses the homeland and is easily bypassed. Most other homelands rarely even put up frontier signs. Ciskei - or, rather, South Africa - only erected them a few days before the tragic march, and then solely in the area of the protest.
The 10 homeland leaders are evenly divided in their sympathies. The military leaders of Transkei and Venda back the ANC. Bophuthatswana's Lucas Mangope, the school teacher turned dictator, takes the same hostile view of the ANC as Brigadier Gqozo. With them, among the leaders of 'self-governing' states, is Chief Buthelezi.
Only Mr Mangope continues to dream that his 'country' can retain its 'independence'. In doing so, he has come up with bizarre schemes, including one to invite conservative Afrikaners who do not want to live in a black- ruled South Africa to share an independent Bophuthatswana, which misses the point about why they want their own white state.
The South African government is exploiting Mr Mangope's hostility to the ANC to the full. As in Ciskei, Mr de Klerk's opponents find it difficult to carry out normal political activity. Village headmen are cajoled and bribed into providing public support for the government. Protests, even over everyday matters such as wages, are often severely dealt with by the police or military. The homeland leadership often controls sources of information, such as radio stations.
The government has tried putting the squeeze on the homelands over finances. One of Pik Botha's common defences of his country over the years has been to highlight its generosity. He has told audience after audience that South Africa provides more foreign aid than any other country in Africa. What he does not tell them is that virtually every rand goes to the homelands.
The TVBC states typically receive at least half their income from Pretoria. Assistance comes in many forms, from straightforward cash to subsidies on flour.
Corruption is rife - a reward for playing the homeland game. When they do not play, the rug is tugged and money to pay the homeland civil servants is withheld. But Pretoria dare not tug too hard, for fear that the whole sordid scheme will collapse.
