The board overseeing Oregon's health insurance exchange made it official Friday and formally decided to dismantle its own operation in favor of having the state's Obamacare clearinghouse run by the federal government, reports said.
The Washington Post reported the Cover Oregon board made the decision to drop the site, which was built with the help of $305 million in federal grants. Although Oregon supported the Affordable Care Act enough to set up one of the first exchanges in the country, it could never work out technical bugs that prevented customers from fully enrolling on the website.
The Associated Press reported that Cover Oregon will pay $4 million to $6 million to shift over to HealthCare.gov instead of spending an estimated $78 million to get its own website running. Oregon paid Oracle Corp. $134 million to build the exchange, but up to now consumers that have signed up have done so with the aid of phone helpers and paper applications, along with some online procedures.
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is calling on Oregon to pay the federal government back the money spent on the failed exchange, the Post said.
Cover Oregon officials are expected to meet with officials from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services next week to discuss the transfer.

A bid to delay the start of Gov. Bobby Jindal's plan to shift future rank-and-file state workers to a 401(k)-style retirement plan is advancing in the Louisiana Legislature with little opposition so far.
A bid to delay the start of Gov. Bobby Jindal's plan to shift future rank-and-file state workers to a 401(k)-style retirement plan is advancing in the Louisiana Legislature with little opposition so far.
Without objection Thursday, the House Retirement Committee passed a resolution (House Concurrent Resolution 2) that would suspend the provisions of the law until July 1, 2014. It heads next to the full House for debate.
A similar piece of legislation (Senate Concurrent Resolution 1) received the backing of the Senate Retirement Committee and awaits discussion on the Senate floor.
Because they are resolutions, the legislation would not go to Jindal's desk.
Lawmakers are backing the suspension because of uncertainties about the change to the so-called "cash balance" plan.
A district court judge has ruled the retirement plan unconstitutional. That ruling is on appeal. Meanwhile, leaders of two state retirement systems have raised concerns about how the plan would be administered and about its tax implications.
The retirement change, approved by lawmakers last year, created an investment account similar to a 401(k) plan for certain state employees hired after July 1. That would stand in place of a monthly retirement payment based on salary and years of employment.
The House backed a proposal to let people carry concealed weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol. It would eliminate a current ban.
The measure (House Bill 48) by Rep. Henry Burns, R-Haughton, was approved in a 62-24 vote and heads to the Senate for debate.
Burns described the proposal as a gun rights issue. Opponents said it goes too far and undermines safety.
When it was introduced, Burns' bill dealt only with law enforcement officers. It was amended in committee to include anyone with a concealed weapons permit.
Here is how Houma-Thibodaux area representatives voted:
For: Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville; Lenar Whitney, R-Houma; and Truck Gisclair, D-Larose.
Absent: Gordy Dove, R-Houma; and Dee Richard, a Thibodaux independent.
The House voted 87-0 to rewrite the state law that requires public schools to have a written crisis management plan, to require local law enforcement to help with designing the plans and requiring annual safety drills to rehearse them.
The measure (House Bill 718) by Rep. Bob Hensgens, R-Abbeville, moves to the Senate for discussion. It was prompted by the recent mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Here is how Houma-Thibodaux area representatives voted:
For: Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville; Lenar Whitney, R-Houma; Truck Gisclair, D-Larose; and Dee Richard, a Thibodaux independent.
Absent: Gordy Dove, R-Houma.
A proposal to toughen existing limitations on funeral protests received unanimous approval from the Senate.
Under current law, a person can be charged with disturbing the peace if obstructing a funeral or memorial service. The change would extend that to include the funeral route and set a perimeter banning protesters within 500 feet of the funeral. The bill (Senate Bill 72) heads to the House for discussion.
All Houma-Thibodaux senators voted for the measure.
Teachers could be left out of system
The House Retirement Committee voted 9-2 to advance a proposal to keep future employees of teachers' unions out of the statewide retirement system for teachers.
The measure (House Bill 60) by Rep. Kirk Talbot, R-River Ridge, would grandfather in the 40 people currently enrolled in the system. It moves to the House floor for debate.

3 climbers rescued from Mount Washington's Huntington Ravine
CAMPTON, N.H. (AP) � Rescue workers have come to the aid of three stranded climbers on Mount Washington.
The climbers were ascending a gully in the Huntington Ravine in the fog and snow of the developing Nor'easter on Saturday when they traveled off route.
The U.S. Forest Service says the climbers' new course brought them into more difficult technical rock climbing when they were unable to continue. The Forest Service received a 911 call from them that evening.
It took several hours for responders to reach the scene. Using ropes and technical equipment, responders assisted the three to the top of the ravine and up to the Weather Observatory's waiting Snowcat on the Mount Washington Auto Road.
The group arrived back at the base of the mountain at about 4 a.m. Sunday.

GRINDELWALD, SWITZERLAND - China's wealthy have long flocked to Switzerland for the watches, chocolate and scenery. Now the Alpine country is marketing another national symbol to the Chinese - skiing.
Switzerland is training eight Chinese ski instructors and placing them in St. Moritz, Davos, Zermatt, Gstaad and other resorts for the ski season to teach Chinese tourists, in their own language and with Chinese savoir faire.
With the number of winter overnight stays from Chinese travellers in mountainous regions expected to double by 2017, the Swiss Tourism office said it hoped the instructors would help make Swiss ski runs more appealing to Chinese tourists.
In the resort of Grindelwald, 26-year-old Xu Zhongxing, one of the instructors taking part in the program, said the winter sport was gaining in popularity among affluent Chinese.
"In China, we play cards or mahjong in winter, but more and more people want to do outdoor sports and are discovering skiing," Xu told Reuters. "The lifestyle - the clothes, the accessories - are also very fashionable among younger people."
With its alpine resorts and luxury shopping options, Switzerland is already a favored destination for Asian visitors, who tend to stay longer and spend more than their European counterparts.
Swiss tourism officials hope the Swiss-schooled Chinese ski teachers will, back home, become ambassadors for Switzerland's winter tourism industry. Xu said his home, Chongli County, which is three hours from Beijing, already has four ski resorts in operation and is planning to construct a few more.
The training program should show Chinese visitors there is more to Switzerland than the chocolate, Xu said.
"Here in Grindelwald, after Christmas day, it seemed everybody went out to ski or snowboard or do other sports," Xu said, adding he saw children as young as young as two learning to ski. "These kinds of things really moved me. It's not just winter sports, it's your culture here."

Silver Moose Ranch Bed and Breakfast owners appeal permit denial
The owners of a bed and breakfast inn located in a residential area of Thaynes Canyon are in a battle with their neighbors who say the business is disrupting their peace and quiet.
Silver Moose Ranch Bed and Breakfast owners Brian and Tamara Mooring filed an appeal on Wednesday against the Nov. 13 Snyderville Basin Planning Commission denial of their conditional use permit to operate the bed and breakfast.
"Staff forwarded a positive recommendation to the Planning Commission," Summit County Planner Amir Cause said. "However, the Planning Commission felt different and denied it. One of the main reasons is that the road is not completely paved."
Brian argued that Snows Lane, where the property is located, is paved. "The unpaved part is private property," he said.
Cause said the stipulation is typically applied to new developments, but the Planning Commission chose to deny the bed and breakfast's permit based on the criteria not being met.
Though staff forwarded a positive recommendation to the Planning Commission, it was with one condition: that a conflict between two documents be resolved.
"They are both credible documents, so one of the conditions staff made was to have this resolved before the operation can continue," Cause said.
The earlier document said there is no restricted access to the property's easement. But later on, when part of the property was sold to Utah Open Lands, the easement was noted as residential only.
"We couldn't make a determination because they are both credible documents and we didn't want to get into the middle of it," Amir said.
The Moorings received a business license from the county last fall when they first opened the bed and breakfast.
"They sent us a renewal form, so we filled it out and sent it back with a check, and they sent it back unprocessed," Brian said. "Staff wanted to process it, but they were told by their legal department not to process it. We resubmitted it three times, and three times it was rejected."
Brian said they were accused of trying to fly under the radar, not filing the proper paperwork and not paying for the proper licenses. "But it was the legal department that who told staff not to process our application," he said.
Neighbors came to the meeting in opposition of the bed and breakfast, saying they want to keep their neighborhood quiet and peaceful, arguing the neighborhood is not meant to have a bed and breakfast, Cause said.
"How much traffic do you think is generated?" Brian asked. "We average two rooms a night. About a quarter of our guests don't even have cars. They use the bus stop at the end of our driveway."
Tamara added that their guests come for the quiet atmosphere. "We get comments that that's what they are looking for. Our guests are between 35 and 65 years old. They aren't rowdy. Ninety-eight percent of our guests are Mormon. They aren't skiers coming with their beer. It just isn't that crowd."
Guests park only at the bed and breakfast itself, and not on Snows Lane, she said. "The driveway is longer than two football fields. So all of the parking is entirely on this piece of private property. No one would have any reason to park on Snows Lane."
Brian said the only legal issue was the road, but it was the overwhelming public clamor that drove the Planning Commission to reject it.
For now, the bed and breakfast remains open. "A judge issued a temporary restraining order against the county so we could stay in business," Tamara said.
The appeal will go before the Summit County Council for review.

These made an appearance in my bento pictured here.
grape or cherry tomatoes
fresh mozzarella sliced about 1/4" thick and cut to the same diameter as your tomatoes (I used stainless steel sakura shaped vegetable cutters {note: I only linked to kaboodle because it came up in a google image search})
fresh basil
skewers (toothpicks work fine)
Cut tomatoes in half. Make a sandwich of all three ingredients! If you can use a part of the basil where two leaves grow opposite each other, they look like tiny space ships.
Variation: I used these as an appetizer at Thanksgiving, but in addition to using fresh basil leaves, I hollowed out one half of the tomatoes and spooned in some home made walnut pesto, which I got from Heidi Swanson in an article in Food and Wine.
These looked so great --thanks for sharing the recipe! I like the pesto-stuffing idea too. Gotta get me some mozzarella next time I shop.
Thanks for your comment on my picture, that's why I shared it here!
Ooo! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing that idea. Must try those soon. :)
Stuffing the tomatoes with pesto sounds like a great twist on the classic caprese.

Downtown Memphis Commission president Paul Morris will become the new project director for the Main Street to Main Street revitalization project that includes a Harahan Bridge boardwalk.
Morris adds the federally funded project with private donors to his duties at the downtown development group as project manager Mike Carpenter starts his duties at the nonprofit Plough Foundation, the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. confirmed Monday, June 10.
When Carpenter announced his new position at the Plough Foundation last month, he also said he would continue to tie up loose ends on the project for several months at no pay.
Those loose ends include completing and getting signatures on the $15 million federal transportation grant agreement as well as completing the agreement with Union Pacific railroad, which owns the Harahan Bridge across the Mississippi River.
From there, Allen & Hoshall engineering firm would become full-time technical program managers responsible for day-to-day work on the project.
The project is a renovation of Main Street Memphis and Broadway Avenue in West Memphis with the bicycle and pedestrian boardwalk on the north side of the rail bridge across the river linking the two.
The complex project is in phases, some overlapping, that begin construction work later this year. The federal funding comes with some stringent deadlines for completing certain parts of the project.
The Main Street Memphis renovations and improvements would run from the Uptown area to the South Main Historic Arts District and then link up with the area around the rail bridge.

The fact that gas prices in California are only rivaled by Alaska and Hawaii is nothing new. What is new, however, is that it no longer has the highest prices among the 48 contiguous states. That title now belongs to New York.
Brian Williams recently reported on NBC Nightly News that the average price of gas in New York is now higher, albeit slightly, than the price in California. That's apparently the first time that's happened since California started requiring its own gasoline blends in 1996 aimed to curb emissions in places like Los Angeles. Since then, it's forced the state's drivers to pay more than almost every other state for gas.
AAA pegs the average gas price in California today at $3.556 for a gallon of regular, and $3.573 in New York. This, despite a national trend of lower gas prices. New York leads the nation in gas taxes, though, so that has something to do with it.
Yes, it's a 1.5 cent difference. But hey New York, you finally beat California.

Osprey attraction has been closed since May.
On the bay, at the end of tree-canopied Main Street in Osprey, the first sign says, "Enjoy Your Park." It marks a 235-foot, neighborhood fishing pier managed by Sarasota County.
A few feet later, another sign informs visitors why they will not get to enjoy the setting.
"Park closed for maintenance," the second sign states. Underneath it, the words "Date:" and "Time:" appear.
Frank Shaughnessy says there used to be dates and times scrawled after the words. If so, they have long since worn off.
Shaughnessy, who lives about a block away, started dogging the county commissioners in January about when the pier will reopen.
The county closed the pier in May 2012 after a plank bowed up and an inspection revealed the need for more than routine repairs. There has been little activity since.
"I taught my kids to fish at that pier. It's one of the reasons we moved here. I just want to know what's happening," Shaughnessy says.
The short answer would be, not much, even though $360,000 for repairs was approved about five months ago.
The long answer came from Carolyn Brown, in January, via an email to Commissioner Nora Patterson.
Brown, the head of the county's parks and recreation department, reviewed a permit process that winds through the state Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and possibly U.S. Fish and Wildlife.
She estimated April 2014 as the date to reopen, and that was only if the county could avoid applying for a submerged land lease and undergoing sea grass studies and a redesign of the dock, both of which could add another 12 to 18 months.
In shorthand, that could add up to more than three years, $360,000 and the staff time of multiple government agencies to fix a loose board.
It's a bit more complicated than that, but you get the picture.
Patterson's response to Brown in January: "The process sounds mind boggling. In the private sector, the replacement of an existing dock does not require a new submerged land lease and all of the other very lengthy processes you outline," she wrote.
"This is being treated like a very major construction project and more like this is a new dock of very large proportions."
Patterson is correct. And after the county did some research, it appears it won't need a new submerged land lease from the state. The dock's history extends some 60 years, and the county intends to rebuild in today's footprint. Parks and rec manager George Tatge also hopes the county can do some work in-house to save time and money.
"It's near and dear to me. We want to keep this pier open," Tatge says.
No one wants to say it outright, but this one may have fallen through the cracks, in part the victim of new procurement policies that have created a backlog of as many as 200 requests, according to County Administrator Randall Reid. Thanks to Shaughnessy's prodding, it's probably moved up the priority list.
The pier's rebuild can't happen too soon.
"I miss it. We all do," neighbor David Merrill says. "It's a place where people get together, maybe while they're walking their dogs or at sunset. We've been cut off from that. It's one of those simple little things that make a neighborhood."

text: Via email today, I learned the sad news of the passing of Ashlea Doty at the age of 34. When I was host from 2002-04, Ashlea was part of the AETV studio crew. She was enormously good humored, and was one of the four of us who visited a Halloween "Hell House" at a local Pentecostal church the first year any of us did that (my report on that night appears to have been scrubbed from the internets following the discontinuation of GeoCities). After I left the show, she had already drifted away from ACA, but I'd still see her on occasion working as a vet tech at the clinic where I took my dog. She'll be missed by those who knew her, and to everyone else, remember that every day above ground is a good day. Make them all count.

ac sleep/relaxing mix?
edited March 2011 in Animal Tracks
give me your tracklist suggestions for an ac mix meant to fall asleep to. yes, that means no "slippi"
it's called campfire songs [hi-yo!] but no the last part of slippi after the climax is REALLY chilled out you could just loop that for 30min! also: The Softest Voice Flesh Canoe? Bees? No more Running? PLAYPEN [that's a really good mellow one oh man!]
visiting friends is the perfect one for me. always relaxes me
jeez how did i not mention that one! yes!
Visiting Friends is one of my favorite chilled out songs, too.
someone should do a remix of it add in some CRUSHING BEATS make it dansey!
Side C of Animal Crack Box!
[quote="G.O. [!]"]someone should do a remix of it add in some CRUSHING BEATS make it dansey![/quote] somebody should mix it with slippi
Other than the previously mentioned songs, I love falling asleep to all of Campfire Songs in general!
The album with Vashti Bunyan was one of the albums I would listen to when I was hung over. I always found it relaxing in that state.
[quote]Other than the previously mentioned songs, I love falling asleep to all of Campfire Songs in general![/quote] that's the first thing i mentioned! uh! and AC made an EP with vASHti not an album! she RUINED the sung tong outer-takes! <!-- s>__< --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/mad.gif" alt=">__<" title="mad" /><!-- s>__< -->
Same thing. Hey, if you don't like her voice, that's cool, but apparently the guys in the band did.
Bluish Bleed Banshee Beat Daffy Duck Seal Eyeing I feel like AC isn't a very good choice to help you go to sleep. In my opinion it takes some energy to listen to their music
I think it depends on what selection of their music you're listening to, but I agree with you for most of it. That old acoustic stuff is super sleepy, as well as that really long track on Sung Tongs.
I seem to like to listen to banshee beat, graze ( even though the end is pretty crazy), loch raven and winter's love. I know they aren't the most relaxing to others, but to me they seem to be for some reason.
i find loch raven to be very relaxing, the electronic sounnds just kind've wash over you. (i love my headphones) i don't think these ones have been posted Foetus No Man Who Welles in my Hoff Mich Mit Einer Mond O Please Bring Her Back Liebe Auf Den Erstien Blick I'm Not Ponytail Baleen Sample
double post!!! gaw dangit
i have one one of these on itunes it has anco/pandy/avey/kria on it. http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37y4yCyyN1qbptb2o1_500.png
my favorite to fall asleep to is campfire songs or feels. I can't fall asleep to Strawberry Jam.
I fall asleep to MPP some nights and I guess Tomboy and Person Pitch are really good too.
I had some free time this weekend so I made an AC Sleepytime Mixtape for everyone! All the tracks were picked as the most the gentlest of AC tunes because I have trouble sleeping to music that changes volume and pitch a lot. I also edited some of the tracks so that it would never become suddenly loud and wake you up or pull you out of your drowsiness. Here's the track list: Moo Rah Rah Rain - Campfire Songs De Soto De Son - Campfire Songs The Softest Voice - Sung Tongs Sis Around The Sándmill (Reversed) - Pullhair Rubeye Search For Delicious - Person Pitch Loch Raven - Feels Cemeteries - Down There Bleed - Fall Be Kind EP Ponytail - Person Pitch No More Runnin' - Merriweather Post Pavilion Throwin the Round Ball - Danse Manatee Sasong (Stretched and Reversed) - Pullhair Rubeye Untitled 07 - Young Prayer and here's the link, I hope it works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vyx5e53xdycz0tt/AC Sleepy Time Mix.m4a Enjoy!
i agree with this list whole heartedly
I think I'm going to sleep well tonight.
cool claude! I just listen to Campfire songs when I want to sleep to AC.
visiting friends isnt very relaxing for me. it kind of scares me. the way it progresses is unsettling
what! no it's not! yr crazy! tico tico toe woman uh!
unsettle that woman, tic
set her DOWN! no! what are you doing! stop that! YOU STOP THAT!
stop it! stop it!! stop it slippi!!

Tech Update
New Press Technology from Seyi: Direct-Drive Servo Presses, Special Deep Draw Presses
SEYI America, Inc., Tullahoma, TN, has launched a line of single- and double-point servo presses (right) equipped with direct-drive servomotor and control technology that reportedly offer 30 percent higher torque than other direct-drive servo presses. The state-of-the-art servo direct-drive technology, connected directly to the crank, can maintain the same torque and energy as a mechanical press when the slide position is a from the tonnage rating point. It also optimizes stroke-motion programming flexibility, allowing pendulum strokes, multiple hits in one stroke and longer dwell time.
Seyi's unique energy-storage system, say company representatives, eliminates the issue of higher power requirements and minimizes energy consumption. A honeycomb frame construction maximizes rigidity, particularly at longer dwells. The hydraulic overload has been removed and replaced with an electronic overload to optimize resistance to deflection, and ensure repeatability at bottom-dead center.
By Q3 2011, the firm will have ready for the market servo presses from 110 to 400 tons. Learn more by accessing the firm's servo-technology blog: servostampingpresses.blogspot.com.
Seyi also announced the release of its STD special deep-draw presses, for parts to 160 mm high and 100-mm dia. —oil-filter housings, internal housings of vacuum bottles and other similar round or rectangular shapes. This unique press (above) is mechanically configured to run a three-stage drawing process in one stroke using one die, eliminating the need for large-footprint mechanical-transfer and hydraulic systems.
The die module is comprised of one combination die with three-stage drawing capacity. The modules can be exchanged for varying part heights and diameters, minimizing die-design time and reducing tool changeover by as much as 60 percent. A fully automated high-speed production mode reportedly performs better than hydraulic operations within precise, stable BDC positioning.
Maximum blank size: 340-mm dia. View a 2-min. video of the STD in action, producing oil-filter housings, at youtube.com/seyiamerica.Seyi America, Inc.: 931/455-7700; www.seyiamerica.com

MojoBaby.com is for sale!
The maximum period of registration for a domain name is 10 years. Some registrars offer longer periods of up to 100 years, but such offers involve the registrar renewing the registration for their customer; the 100-year registration would not be in the official registration database.
Registration of a domain name establishes a set of name server records in the DNS servers of the parent domain, indicating the IP addresses of DNS servers that are authoritative for the domain. This provides a reference for direct queries of domain data.
Registration of a domain does not automatically imply the provision of DNS services for the registered domain. Most registrars do offer DNS hosting as an optional free service for domains registered through them. If DNS services are not offered, or the end-user opts out, the end-user is responsible for procuring or self-hosting DNS services. Registrars require the specification of usually at least two name servers.
A domain name transfer is the process of changing the designated registrar of a domain name. ICANN has defined a Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars. The usual process of a domain name transfer is:
The end user verifies that the whois admin contact info is correct, particularly the email address; obtains the authentication code (EPP or UDAI transfer code) from the old registrar, and removes any domain lock that has been placed on the registration. If the whois information had been out of date and is now updated, the end-user should wait 12–24 hours before proceeding further, to allow time for the updated data to propagate.
- The end user contacts the new registrar with the wish to transfer the domain name to their service, and supplies the authentication code.
- The gaining Registrar must obtain express authorization from either the Registered Name Holder or the Administrative Contact. A transfer may only proceed if confirmation of the transfer is received by the gaining Registrar from one of these contacts. The authorization must be made via a valid Standardized Form of Authorization, which may be sent e.g. by e-mail to the e-mail addresses listed in the WHOIS. The Registered Name Holder or the Administrative Contact must confirm the transfer. The new registrar starts electronically the transfer of the domain with the help of the authentication code (auth code).
- The old registrar will contact the end user to confirm the authenticity of this request. The end user may have to take further action with the old registrar, such as returning to the online management tools, to re-iterate their desire to proceed, in order to expedite the transfer.
- The old registrar will release authority to the new registrar.
- The new registrar will notify the end user of transfer completion. The new registrar may have automatically copied over the domain server information, and everything on the website will continue to work as before. Otherwise, the domain server information will need to be updated with the new registrar.

Owen Paterson, the recently appointed Environment Secretary, is a total conservative. He's Eurosceptic. Hawkish against foreign threats and tough on domestic ones. Deregulatory on the economy. In favour of small government. Socially traditionalist — opposing, for example, gay marriage. Environmentally a conservationist: in love with Britain's countryside but sceptical about grand designs to change the global climate. He's undoubtedly the most conservative member of David Cameron's Cabinet. With the possible exception of Iain Duncan Smith he's the only senior British Tory who could easily win election if he stood on a Republican ticket in America.
In promoting Paterson David Cameron knew that he was taking a risk. He has his own mind and is prepared to speak it. Earlier this year he told the Cabinet that Britain needed to embrace the economic policies of Ronald Reagan. The coalition, he said, should exempt micro-businesses from nearly all regulation, cancel expensive green energy policies and fast-track the exploitation of shale gas. And if that wasn't enough to give the Prime Minister indigestion, Paterson then suggested that there was an urgent need to increase Britain's airport capacity. One observer noted how George Osborne smiled throughout this intervention while Liberal Democrat ministers sat stony-faced.
When he was promoted from Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in the September reshuffle it was portrayed as part of Cameron's "lurch to the Right" and there is certainly some truth to that. There is more to Paterson, however, than his politics. He's a gentleman, extraordinarily diligent and also quite cautious.
One frequent criticism of Paterson that you'll hear shoot-from-the-hip Tories making is that he's not a street-fighter for Conservative beliefs. Their definition of an effective co-belligerent is someone who is always in the newspapers, asserting his right-wing credentials and often making life uncomfortable for the leader. That's not Paterson's style and it has made him less visible to Tory activists than junior ministers who are all over today's 24/7 media.

On March 22, CNN touted a "major development" in the Trayvon Martin case when it released a report including enhanced audio techniques that alleged George Zimmerman used a racial slur before shooting and killing the unarmed Martin. Now, the network is not so sure.
CNN's Gary Tuchman explored the audio, working with the network's audio design specialist to determine whether Zimmerman said the word "coons" before he shot Martin.
"It sounds like this allegation could be accurate," Tuchman said. "I wouldn't swear to it in court. But that's what it sounds like to me."
"It certainly sounds like that word to me," he later added.
On Wednesday, the network took a different tone when it released "new enhanced 911 audio." Zimmerman's attorneys told CNN that the word in question was "punks," not the racial slur. CNN checked this out with forensic audio expert Tom Owen, who agreed with Zimmerman's lawyers.
Later on Wednesday, Tuchman checked it out again for himself, working this time with one of CNN's "senior audio engineers."
"Some are accusing George Zimmerman of using the racial slur 'coons' in his 911 call," Tuchman says in his report. This is absurd, because CNN pretty much started the controversy in the first place.
In the end, Tuchman, the audio expert and special guest host Wolf Blitzer— who was filling in for Anderson Cooper— all agreed that the word in question was "cold," not the racial slur.
"It does sound less like that racial slur," Tuchman said after listening to the enhanced-enhanced audio. "Last time, I acknowledged the possibility that it could have been that racial slur."
No. Last time you said it "certainly sounds like that word to me."
"It sounds like … we're hearing the swear word at first and then the word 'cold,'" Tuchman said. "And the reason some say that would be relevant, is because it was unseasonably cold in Florida that night and raining."
CNN's gaffe hasn't been as highly publicized as NBC, which admitted to selectively editing a video in a way that made Zimmerman sound like he was racial profiling. The edited conversation makes it sound like Zimmerman thinks Martin is "up to no good" because he is black. But in reality, he said Martin was black in response to a question from the 911 dispatcher.
Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll shows the astounding racial divide in the Trayvon Martin case.

TED Talks Western countries throw out nearly half of their food, not because it's inedible -- but because it doesn't look appealing. Tristram Stuart delves into the shocking data of wasted food, calling for a more responsible use of global resources.
No one should be surprised that more developed societies are more wasteful societies. It is not just personal wasting of food at the house and restaurants that are the problem. Perfectly edible food is thrown out due to size (smaller than standards but perfectly normal), cosmetics (Bananas that are shaped 'funny') and costumer preference (discarded bread crust). This is an intriguing perpective on our consumptive culture, but it also is helpful in framing issues such as sustainability and human and environmental interactions in a technologically advanced societies that are often removed form the land where the food they eat originates.

I was diagnosed with a deviated septum and will be having surgery next month. I am very excited to be able to breathe better. The surgery will also reshape my nose a bit. Will I have to pay for this surgery because it is partly "cosmetic"?
Ahead by a Nose
Dear Ahead by a Nose,
The major reason for the surgery is to correct the deviated septum; so, it is considered "medically necessary" and would be covered by your health insurance.
You are correct that cosmetic surgery is generally not covered by health insurance. There are exceptions. For example, if your nose had been injured in an accident, surgery to fix it would be considered medically necessary and would be covered. Another example is breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy.
You can always double check with your insurer to find out how much they will pay toward your surgery. You may have to pay a certain amount before your plan pays – called a "deductible" or "co-pay".

This morning, at 9:20am(PST)/12:20pm(EST), TSA employees, airport workers, and travelers across the nation paused to mark the moment an attack took the life of TSA Officer Gerardo Ismael Hernandez last week at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Sadly, Officer Hernandez - a husband, a father, a son, a colleague and a friend - became the first TSA employee killed in the line of duty. The agency and all across the Department of Homeland Security, have felt this impact.
In many ways, Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) are the public face of our nation's security. Every day, TSOs interact with nearly two million travelers across the United States with a single goal in mind - ensuring they safely reach their destinations.
He had joined TSA in June of 2010. His colleagues, as well as passengers, knew him as a man whose warm smile and humorous nature made them feel at ease. He took pride in his duty to the TSA mission and to the American public.

This week at LAX, an American Airlines plane landed on the runway, marking the arrival of a special United States flag that was presented to his family and used at his funeral. This flag, the United States Honor Flag, is a tribute reserved for those who make the ultimate sacrifice for their family, community and country. Hernandez was such a person.
Two other TSA officers, Tony Grigsby and James Speer involved in this senseless attack, are thankfully recovering from their injuries. Even in the chaos of the attack, these two TSOs were seen helping others and continuing to put the safety of others ahead of their own.
Officer Grigsby is a Master Behavior Detection Officer (MBDO), who has been with TSA since 2004. He said that during the incident, his main concern was making sure the terrified people running towards him were okay. He was shot in the ankle while helping an elderly man move to a safe area.
James Speer joined the TSA in 2008 and is a Master Security Training Instructor (MSTI). Even though he had been shot in the left shoulder, he continued to help by using his right arm to encourage people to keep running.

Every day, thousands of TSA officers and employees report to checkpoints and checked baggage locations around the nation. Every one of them has sworn to protect the nation's transportation systems and in this line of work, an uneventful day is a good day.
Thank you to Officer Hernandez, and to all our TSOs working across the country.

Re: Troll Control.
To say he had some serious "issues" to take care of would be a complete understatement LOL!
The ongoing meatloaf references kept me hungry though :}
P.S. trust me he'll try to come back under yet another new name to finish the job because he's just to pissed off at the world {us} to let it go. You'll know him when you see him right away though as I said to Bernhard.
Re: Troll Control.
As long as things don't get personally insulting, I like hearing different, even opposite POV's.
As long as things don't get personal.
That seems to be weak point in forums. Like just because people are thousands of miles/km away from each other, that doesn't make it OK to be condescending. Kinda cowardly really. Disagreements escalate into personal attacks. Why is that? Insecurity I guess. Thinking that there the world is black and white, with no grey areas. It's OK to disagree. One mans truth is anothers lie. That's the way it is. You have to just accept that and understand that there are people who are going to be polar opposite.
What is so hard about that?
Re: Troll Control.
Ahhhh, Meatloaf!
Im hungry!
Let's eat Stan.
Im going to heat up some LEFTOVER TROLL MEAT
I kind of like old drums:)
Re: Troll Control.
FWIW, I'd argue that he poked the dog first......then seemed to sit back in genuine amazement when he got his fingers bitten.
Live by the sword and you'll die by it, I guess.
Re: Troll Control.
He totally set himself up. Posted a thread of ... his own playing ... to draw fire.
We should start a lotto, on when he'll return. I bet within 2 weeks.
This seat does not recline as per Federal Aviation Regulation 121.310 (f)(3)
Re: Troll Control.
I suspect Mark was trying to show that he could actually play and wasn't a pretender, ie. "I might not be able to read but I can play okay". I doubt he wouldn't have expected his foes from the other thread to comment and rag his playing out because they hardly ever comment in the Your Playing section, and those who are regulars there are usually highly supportive.
That's my take on it ...
Re: Troll Control.
Did you miss his "wonderful" summary about the general quality of the drummers who are members here at DW and where he put himself in direct comparison in that regard? It wasn't flattering or pretty believe me or correct by any stretch of the imagination from this poor tormented soul, just full of hate and contempt for everyone and their playing on the forum. Guess not?......
Bernhard didn't seem to have much of a problem deleting his entire thread on the spot after reading the final chapter on this guys best effort of a nasty to the bone delivery. Banned yet again.
That's the facts and lets stick to them in case you have a personal problem with him being banned which correct me if i'm wrong is the impression from you i'm getting at this point. He went WAY over the line in a sad negative way and got banned....that's the truth from someone in the direct line of fire of his sad display of forum behavior as it went down.

Re: Troll Control.
Indeed, my join date is Jan. 2006. I seen that cat come...and go...3 times now.
In fact, i've seen quite a few cats, come and go. I suffer from CRS (can't remember squat). So one of the "things" I started "doing" was writting down real peoples names, and ages, next to their user names ... whenever someone offered that info up. 'cause so many people are here under the "witness protection program" .... no name, no age ... nadda info. typed into their profile.
Now, mind you, this is just a memory aid. Or started out, that way. Then, I started adding "footnotes" .... this cats cool .... this guys a 17 y.o. chucklehead, etc. Then the 1st time "someone" got banned ... I looked on my list ... oh yeah ... chucklehead.... figures.
Well, you shoulda read some of the "member" reactions to this guy getting banned ... How could they? He didn't deserve it? And I thought to myself ... waddaya mean, the guy went way outta bounds.
So this led me to start "the list" .... and no, I don't mean the list, that Guitar Center has, of prices so low.... no ... my "list" of cats that should be/are looking to be banned ...
Now, I won't say who's on the list, but it's about 4 years old. I won't saw how many names are on the list, but I will say I'm running about 80% right, as far as who I write down, and then who gets the boot. And only 2 names ... on my list ... are still active members, here, currently. No doubt, they cleaned up their act, a bit.
My take on it ... is the cat's a sociopath...
This seat does not recline as per Federal Aviation Regulation 121.310 (f)(3)
Re: Troll Control.
Hey Stan, didn't know he'd had a general potshot at everyone. Just trying to see things from the other side - how he'd be seeing things through his eyes. Once the red mist comes down people can do things they later regret (or should regret). Methinks he has a lot of red mist.
Don't get wrong ... I've just always had sympathy for underdogs, even when they are batty. That's just how I roll. I will readily forgive people for giving me hell too - usually twice. Like Harry, I think three strikes and out is a nice rule of thumb.
Never mind. Since he's a poor listener so at least we'll have less of those circular arguments that are such thread-killers ...
Re: Troll Control.
Harry, great idea to have profile records! Guess I have "wet bleeding heart" next to my name now :)
Nah, he's not a sociopath - they are known for being able to turn on the charm to manipulate people to do their bidding (think Charles Manson). Call me crazy, but I don't think Mark has the charm chops to be a sociopath ... probably more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz_6jagv_D4
Bet you already knew what the link was before clicking :)
Re: Troll Control.
So it's better is to make me aware of the problems as soon they lift off...
And NO, i don't think the posters have a plan to be gentle two months and then turning nasty.
My take on this: They have problems with substances or/and alcohol and start their attacks under influence. I know this from dealing with two ex-members, which contacted me with apologies.
Re: Troll Control.
Re: Troll Control.
Actually, a sociopath neither has to have charm ... or be a seriel killer
Bingo girl ... you just described ... a sociopath.
By deffinition ... "Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others."
And from what I saw ... this cat never offered advice ... info on vintage kits, for example ... he owned plenty ... did he ever help with someone wanting to "restore" one ... not that I ever saw.
Plenty of times, he'd ask for advice. Should I trade this kit, for that one. And when someone would give him advice ... he'd start an argument.
Like the ol' Fleetwood Mac song ... "but don't ask me what I think of you 'cause you might not like the answer that you want me to...
He played that senario too many times ... I love talking about vintage drums, but come his 3rd ressurrection as Stickit, he'd burned me out.

Re: Troll Control.
With those of us with ties all over the Internet it's an overall body of work to also be considered. And no you don't just say well here, I didn't see as much of that etc, etc...Part of the game is to start a fire one place then come to the friendly open door Drummerworld and reinvent yourself. Then you build up just enough friendly attributes so that they can be cashed in just in time for sympathy points when the inevitable house fire comes.
Polly, I'm not trying to be offensive to you at all when I say this. I'm really not. But I think Mark has very much played you here. And in numerous instances I have seen this behavior from him at other places. It's his game, and it's only yet another bizarre tactic. And believe me when you're usefulness is done in his eyes you will be a primary target because he will think you let him down. Then I very much want to see your comments, although I will do my level best not to say told you so.
See, what you might not be aware of is that this guy will often be playing several e venues at the same time, all with the agenda of creating a personal greatness persona and destroying as many of his imaginary enemies as possible. For a long time his three main venues of choice were drumsmylife, youtube and here. Just his drumsmylife persona alone should have ended his Internet participation forever because he was 1000 times worse there than he ever has been here.
See Polly/and others/ it really takes little sleuth work to know these things. DW isn't even close to being the only drum forum on the Internet, and for a handful of us younger guys who are kind of out there but not entirely established we make the best targets, because bat our respective ages we have obvious chinks in the armour that drives never was types like Mark crazy, because they're intensely mad that we're getting silly mid range attention and they're not. I think all that plays into all the other issues these guys have, and Bernhard's also right. When these guys start drinking and using too, then watch out. If you want further confirmation just ask Tom Grossett what has happened to him on numerous forums where trolls attacked him in several venues simultaneously for having the nerve to release popular youtubes of movie soundtracks. I never will forget that attack they gave him on the Harmony Central forums. It was crazy over there for well over a week. Who knows why that drives them nuts? But it does.
Then in Mark's case, he will even create another more humble almost victim like persona at drumchat. This is also a game, because he uses those posts to demonstrate to the world what a good guy he is when evil sobs like me ambush him when all he was trying to do was trying to do was be a friendly member of the gang before everyone got all mean with him.
I'm sorry that's just insane behavior with remarkable immaturity attached, a pretty lethal combination I think when dealing with people. And again if you don't think those kinds of guys don't pull their game in real life with more physical consequences, then I have a police report I'd like to show you. Interestingly enough that guy's initial behavior was identical to that incident, as was the forum guy who was supposedly waiting for me at a WFD comp to in his words see how fast my hands truly were. Now can you imagine a 40 year old guy actually waiting out in front of the NAMM convention for a 16 year kid to show up with a golf club in his hand because he didn't like that I contradicted him about the uses for traditional grip?
Well believe me, they're out there.
Then even if this guy's not certifiable he's at best a delusional immature child, always starting fights for no reason, then running behind a tree with a slingshot when the heat's on. Harry, you may have also forgotten his Mad Max persona. How many threads were erased over that persona? Or how about White Drummer and his racial phobias? For anyone still defending this, does none of that seriously not concern you?
Personally, I am long past defending myself for dealing out guys like this. The WFD era alone was enough to let me know quite a few things about how far people on the Internet will go to insure their imaginary little worlds.
Finally, I spent about 45 minutes last night just cleaning up psycho troll youtube comments that talked about my mom and several other related topics. Now I'm not even saying Mark did any of that, but copycats then always read forums and pull stuff besides. They're out there too.
This also doesn't mean you throw out the Internet entirely. We're just in the Dodge City era now before world wide regulation inevitably hits in a few years. So for now you take care of yourself and your business the best way you can, because this is the way we're going to be doing business for a long time to come.

Re: Troll Control.
Speaking of underdogs i'm the expert on it but I don't carry a big chip on my shoulder about doing my own thing or go around attacking everyone who crosses my path with personal childish insults and such. Just putting the music out there honestly because that's what I do. I might use a little sarcasm and dark humour around here to break things up especially with the obvious trolls but by no means mean to the bone attacks like fired my way or at other folks by these jokers. You can check my long post record here on that one.....
I'm simply the one who defends my position with the clear facts of the matter at hand when the rocket launches come flying in which usually sets these same nut balls off even more every time when they realize the cat's out of the bag that the emperor has no clothes to back up there mean intent that started all the "fun" to begin.
I thinks Matt's right too that he tried to play you on this one girl........
Re: Troll Control.
how ironic...
a whole thread dedicated to trolling a banned troll. isn't publicly bashing another person against the rules here?

Re: Troll Control.
Maybe this thread and a open discussion of his behavior will stand as providing some examples of how NOT to interact with other forum members here.
Re: Troll Control.
this is riding the border between open discussion and public execution. it's almost like a wake, the dude gets banned and everybody stands around and discusses their life on the boards. he's gone, let it go. if he comes back, let bernhard deal with him. does it really require a whole thread to discuss?
not really.......

Re: Troll Control.
Now I might have some of this right and some it wrong. But I was able to do this in less than five minutes with the help of a regular search engine.
On September 14 you were not wanting to do your English homework.
You were a pretty intense dancer at your brother's wedding, or was that your sister? All I know is that the bride was blonde and beautiful.
You care more about drumming than driving, because you love your gear but you drive around an older teal colored compact that's missing a hubcap on the front right wheel.
At the very least you're at considering pro drumming, if you're not involved already, because you've got professionally done black and white glossies out.
You have a healthy respect for performance art.
You've had an ocassional e incident yourself from time to time so you keep a lot of your personal information to yourself
Is your name Aryelle?
How did I do?
Now imagine if you're a lower end semi public drummer with an e presence and a couple of crazies want to do stuff?
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but there's just more to it than you think.
Issues with this guy have gone on for years. And judging by your interest in having people stay out of your business when not asked I would think you would understand the concern. This guy is past any concern for much of anything.

Re: Troll Control.
umm... not correct on any of it.
i haven't taken an english class in 20 years.
i have 2 brothers, neither of which i was at their wedding and not married to a blond.... and i can't dance to save my life
my car is silver and has all it's hubcaps.
i have no black and white photos, i'm a novice drummer at best. i'm actually a guitarist and singer and if i was to turn pro it would be in one of those 2 areas. and i hate having my picture taken by anybody so chances are it isn't out there.
performance art well..... i duno maybe. since music can be classified as a performance art well then thats just obvious really.
my name is andrew not.... aryelle? where's that even from anyway? oh, and i'm a guy not a chick.....
i don't hide any information about myself or try to avoid giving details, i'm just to lazy to type it out for no reason. hell i've given out my phone number at the drop of a hat to a troll just to yell at them in person, but alass they never called. why is it they never call? i feel so unloved.....
i've delt with many people like him and a lot worse, unfortunately i won't hide and i'm the type that would just as soon deal face to face then on a forum. i probably have a better idea of whats going on then most of the people on this board as far as trolls go.
all i'm saying is this is not the right context to be doing this and is just going to fuel it when he does come back and this is no better then what he was doing. you have this concern you shoulda sent an email to bernhard and let him make a public post about what he wants the community to do. and as i feel this is a completely inappropriate way to handle these issues i'm not gonna comment on this thread anymore.
but hey that's just my opinion right?

Re: Troll Control.
A couple of points---Aryelle is a male name in many parts of the world.
And yes I was already pretty sure MOST of that did not apply to you. The reason I performed that experiment was to demonstrate how these incidents often begin with trolls who think they have a grudge when often it is a case of mistaken identity. For example, I cannot tell you how many times for example a troll has confused me with a guitar player named Matt Smith. That info was gathered from other azare1 usernames around the Internet where we give up so much personal information without even thinking twice. Did you know for example there is a photo sharing Internet site that features a drummer with a azare1 username?
There's also a kid who loves drums from the Phillipines named azare1 who I am more than positive has posted here under still yet another name. I would bet the farm he's the one who posted he didn't do his English homework on a Twitter account that was also posted all over the web.
The Internet isn't this little cutsey school boy issue anymore. In the 3D world much of this behavior would be considered criminal activity.
And I think its high time that some start to get that.
Gotta travel.

Re: Troll Control.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of trolls. Sometimes it is funny, but sometimes, if you smack a troll hard enough, they find a way to mess with you at 3 in the morning. For guys like me (I have kids, a wife and I have a fairly high profile profession outside of drumming), I can't have nonsense from guys like Mark. I've already had one guy on here start stalking the crap out of me, calling me at 3 in the morning, calling my office and harassing my secretary, etc. I've removed all personal info from my profile, but someone could probably figure out who I am easy enough. A good number of people on this forum, Matt, Steamer, Jay and others know who I am in real life and a few people have even come to shows. All that being said, guys like Mark make it a little dangerous to have a real life name associated with you on a site if you have anything at all to lose.
And Matt has something to lose. So do a lot of these other guys on here. They have pro careers to defend. I agree with Matt that these guys have to be dealt with firmly. Its to all of our benefits that guys can come on here and impart knowledge, even if it isn't what everyone wants to hear. I've shared the stage with a lot of touring pros over the last year and none of them will post on an internet site because of trolls etc. Two of the best drummers I have ever seen play are young and upcoming guys. They don't come anywhere near drumming sites because of people like Mark.
Anyway, if I was a little rough with Mark in the Troll Playing thread and it offended you guys, I apologize. I was trying to do 2 things. First, I can't stand a bully and when he started slamming other players, many of whom I respect greatly, I was almost compelled to respond. Second, I wanted to bring him to a point where he would explode and get banned so I wouldn't have to listen to his crap any more. Maybe I was wrong in what I did but I thought I was doing it for the right reasons.

Re: Troll Control.
Hey all, I have this one last thing to say.
Forget about it!
We are still here and he is gone!
Don't look back and try to justify things that were said and done.
That's it!
The end!
I kind of like old drums:)
Re: Troll Control.
ok i'll comment one more time.
my attitude is not missplaced in the least. i don't take stalking trolls lightly in the least. have i been known to give out personal info to them and wait outside my house? yes i have. if you have any inclinations of somebody stalking you the worst thing you can do is to take to a public forum and make yourself a target, which is why i find this a bit inappropriate. which is also why i said it should be taken up privately with bernhard and let him handle it. if people find out personal information and start calling you at all hours of the night call the police and let them handle it, thats their job. all this is doing is fueling the fire, so yeah, let it go. i don't disagree with your stance that people need to take a stance and not let these guys walk all over them but wouldn't you agree you need to take the appropriate actions and let the people best suited to deal with it, deal with it? instead of the vigilantie approach and cuase yourself more troubles?

According to the Commerce Department's Census Bureau, the Number of Asian-Owned Businesses Increased at More Than Twice the National Rate
In honor of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Census Bureau has released highlights of the latest data on our nation's Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander populations from the 2010 Census and 2007 Survey of Business Owners.
Some of the latest statistics show:
- There are 17.3 million U.S. residents of Asian descent, according to the 2010 Census, making up 5.6 percent of the total population.
- Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders make up 0.4 percent of the population, totaling 1.2 million people, according to the 2010 Census.
- Between the 2000 and 2010 Censuses, the Asian alone or in combination population grew 46 % – more than any other major race group.
- The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination population grew by 40 % between the 2000 and 2010 Censuses.
- Fifty percent of single-race Asians 25 and older had a bachelor's degree or higher level of education in 2009, compared with 28 percent for all Americans 25 and older.
- Fourteen percent of single-race Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders 25 and older had at least a bachelor's degree in 2009.
- U.S. businesses owned by people of Asian origin increased 40.4 percent to 1.5 million between 2002 and 2007, increasing at more than twice the national rate.
- Native Hawaiian- and Other Pacific Islander-owned businesses grew by 30.6 percent from 2002 to 2007, totaling 37,809 businesses.

Sometimes it is best to see if a fire will extinguish itself naturally rather than try to put it out.
That's something A&E might have considered before rushing to pull Phil Robertson from filming of the network's hit reality show "Duck Dynasty," about the Robertson family's duck hunting business.
To refresh: Phil Robertson gave his unfiltered views on gays (sinful) and blacks in the pre-civil rights era (seemed pretty happy to him) in an interview with GQ. First there was outrage from those offended by Robertson's remarks and then there was outrage at those angry at A&E's decision to put Phil Robertson "under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
The Robertson family has indicated that it may not want to continue with the show if its patriarch isn't involved. The Robertsons have a hugely successful business and have also been on TV before and will surely find a home somewhere else if need be.
In other words, A&E needs them more than they need A&E.
If A&E and its parent companies Hearst Corp. and Walt Disney Co. are really offended by what Robertson said, then cut ties to the family completely. Stop making the show and stop airing the reruns.
But if A&E is making moves out of fear of backlash and wants to protect its franchise, then it is doing neither the show nor itself any favors. It has only served to alienate "Duck Dynasty" fans and the family responsible for its biggest hit.
Indeed, the only winners are cable news channels, which are milking this for all its worth while waiting for the next car chase or snow storm to come along.
As media professor Jeffrey McCall of DePauw University told the Los Angeles Times, "If A&E wants the Robertsons to make money for the channel by being authentic, then at some point A&E has to accept that reality stars will be real human beings. If A&E didn't like the Robertsons as they are, then why did they give them a weekly platform?"
"Duck Dynasty" is a slice-of-life show. No one has to watch it. Obviously something about it has struck a chord with viewers. Of course, "All in the Family" also struck a chord and probably as many people were agreeing with Archie Bunker as were laughing at him.
Odds are that if A&E had let this play out a little and given Robertson room to make some sort of mea culpa, this would have died down. A&E could also have made clear that Robertson's remarks to GQ would be addressed on the show itself.
Now A&E has to decide who to bow to first -- pressure groups or the Robertsons. Either way it looks bad.
Once A&E figures out what to do, the next move will be to find out who gave the green light to GQ to have unfettered access to Phil Robertson.

In my last post about the Pemberton obituary project, I mentioned that I would be posting the obituary of William Pemberton next. I just realized, however, that I am still searching for an obituary. He died 12 Jan 1915 in Shelldrake, Chippewa, Michigan, according to his death record. I asked an RAOGK volunteer to find his obit, but she did not have any luck in The Evening News from Sault Ste. Marie. So, for now, we will skip William and move on to his younger sister, Sarah.
From Port Huron (Michigan) Times-Herald, "Resident Of City Fifty Years Dies," 10 February 1941, p. 2.
Mrs. Sarah Morrison Jones, 89, wife of Charles Jones and resident of Port Huron and vicinity 50 years, died Sunday in her home, 574 Myrtlewood Avenue, Marysville, after a long illness.Sarah was the younger sister of my 3rd great-grandfather, John C. Pemberton. She was the last to die of all her siblings. She first married Reuben Morrison on 20 May 1871 in Detroit. They had two children, Reuben, Jr. and Mary Pearl Morrison. Reuben, Sr. died on 7 Apr 1892 in Wales, St. Clair, Michigan, from epileptic fits. Sarah then married Charles Jones, son of Stephen Jones and Mariam Monroe, on 9 May 1910 in Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa, Michigan. Charles died just one month after Sarah on 15 Mar 1941 in Marysville, St. Clair, Michigan.
She was born in Detroit June 31, 1851. She was a former resident of Algonac and was a member of the Church of Christ of that village.
She is survived by her husband; a daughter, Mrs. Robert Tudhope, Detroit; three grandsons, Russell W. Tudhope and Harry Tudhope, both of Detroit, and Llywn Tudhope, Port Huron.
Rev. John E. Mealley, retired Methodist minister, will officiate at funeral services at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in the McNinch-Kipp Memorial. Burial will be in Lakeside Cemetery.
Note that this obituary gives Sarah's birth date as 31 Jun 1851. As we all know, there is no 31 Jun. I think the obituary meant 3 Jun 1851, as her death record gives her age as 89y, 8m, 6d. She died 9 Feb 1941.
I'm not sure that Sarah was born in Detroit, as her family does not seem to have arrived in Michigan until about 1856. They arrived in the Detroit area around that time. Previously, they lived in Ontario, possibly in Kent County. I think it is more likely that Sarah was born in Canada, as suggested by several census records and her marriage record to Reuben Morrison.
This obituary mentions the Church of Christ in Algonac, which is the church mentioned in her older sister Agnes' obituary.
The surviving daughter mentioned is Mary Pearl Morrison Tudhope, who married Robert James Tudhope on 28 Nov 1900 in Port Huron, St. Clair, Michigan. I have actually been in touch with the wife of Mary Pearl's grandson, a son of Llywn Pemberton Tudhope, who found my family tree on WorldConnect. She said that was the first time they had seen Sarah's maiden name. Her maiden name looks like Pemperton on her marriage record, and has been transcribed horribly in the IGI. We exchanged GEDCOM's, so now I have info on Sarah's descendants.
Sarah's son, Reuben Morrison, Jr., died on 30 Apr 1896 in Port Huron at the age of 19 from typhoid fever. This is why he is not mentioned in the obituary.
I will have to search for Sarah's grave next time I am in Port Huron. She is buried at the same cemetery as her sister, Eliza Jane Pemberton Finkle. Lakeside Cemetery is a very large cemetery not far from Lake Huron. An online transcription says Sarah is buried in Section G.

2.19.07: A rawther extraordinary hotel stay
It's official. We are moving to a hotel. If you need to reach us, we'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Express, i.e. Heaven.
We took a road trip this weekend to celebrate Will's Uncle Arthur's 50th birthday. At first, the thought of packing all the gear we would need to go away for the weekend with two kids was enough to make me want to stay home. But then, the thought of actually staying in our house for one more day after being so cooped up was enough to send me packing. Besides, Arthur is one of our favorite people in the world, and we wouldn't miss his 50th birthday party if we had ten kids to pack up. So we went, and I'm so glad we did. The party was fabulous. Arthur was fabulous. The dinner... the toasts...the company...the cake -- all fabulous. But nothing—nothing—could compare to taking our kids to a hotel.
Hotels are, apparently, a place for magical transformationsÂ… a place where our daughter—the non-napper who equates bedtime with a trip to the gallows—jumped -- no, leaped up onto one of the double beds, squirreled herself under the blankets and said: "Turn off the lights, mama, so I can go to sleep!" It was 4 in the afternoon.
At home, when we tell Julia that it's time for a bath, she hears: "Julia, it's time for your root canal!" You'd think we were pouring acid over her head the way she screams bloody murder if so much as a single drop of water dares to come near an eyeball. But at a hotelÂ…at a hotel, this same girl wants to get in the shower, so a steady stream of water can rain down onto her head, and so that she can then turn her face up into the steady stream of water and whirl around with her arms outstretched, shouting "Wheee!" since she is, of course,Liesl from The Sound of Music, caught in the rain storm with Rolfe. This same girl, who thinks her swimming lessons at the Y are some form of child abuse, happily kicks her legs around a hotel pool like one of those tub toy fishies that you wind up and then let skitter over the surface of the water. Part of me was waiting for her to bust out of her floatie and break into a 100m butterfly.
Charlie, too, was transformed by the hotel. He decided that it would be the perfect place to start -- get this -- sleeping. He woke up for a quick nip in the middle of the night, then settled back down and let me sleep in until (drum roll please) 9 a.m. I thought that maybe I had fumbled around with the clock in the middle of the night and knocked it upside down. But no, sure enough, there it was, plain as day: a 9, not a 6.
At a hotel, everything is a marvel. The coffee maker, the microwave, the minifridge. There was even a connecting doorway that allowed our little angel to wander into her uncle and auntie's room to bug them for a while, leaving her parents to enjoy a few moments of quiet, blissful peace.
I too, am apparently a different person at a hotel. When Julia emerged from her shower all drippy wet and wanted to climb into bed, I thought: "Hey, knock yourself out! Who cares if the bed gets soaked? And, would you like some eggs and toast with some sticky red jelly, and maybe some pancakes with some gloppy wet syrup to go with your soaking wet sheets? By all means! Breakfast in bed!" Because someone else -- someone who is definitely not me will be changing the sheets and we will definitely not have to worry about sleeping in sticky wet syrupy jelly-covered sheets on Charlie's first day of kindergarten.
I can see it all now. Julia and Charlie will grow up like Eloise at the Plaza. It will be grand. Except that instead of dining on gold-encrusted china, we'll be microwaving our dinner on Chinet paper plates, and instead of having high tea at the Palm Court, we'll be fishing Fritos out of the vending machine in the hallway. We'll say things like "This coffee filter makes a very good hat!" and "Charge it, please!" and then we'll send our kids off to pester the hotel manager, skiddering their sticks along the hallway walls, while Will and I jump into bed and take a nap.
