Posted on 07/05/2013 5:50:12 PM PDT by virtuousEdited on 07/05/2013 6:14:52 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Tony Miano, a retired deputy sheriff from Los Angeles County, Calif., was arrested in London, England, earlier this week for preaching on abstaining from sexual immorality, both heterosexual and homosexual, in downtown Wimbledon. He was found to be in violation of Public Order Act Section 5, for "using homophobic speech that could cause people anxiety, distress, alarm or insult," Miano said in a YouTube video posted on Wednesday. Preaching from 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, Miano spoke about sexual sins for 25 minutes before being cut off by Metropolitan Police officers who said that although preaching in itself is not an offense, the specific part of the Bible he was preaching from was interpreted as homophobic by the woman who called to complain.
Miano told police officers that he doesn't hate homosexuals, and then reiterated that he was preaching about all forms of sexual immorality lust, fornication and addiction to pornography. He said that he "loves homosexuals enough to bring them the truth of the Gospel."
Subsequently, Miano was arrested and escorted uncuffed to the police station, where he was booked, photographed and fingerprinted. Police also took a DNA sample to ensure that he was not a wanted criminal.
During the seven hours he spent in jail, Miano said he was interrogated about his faith in Jesus Christ, and was asked a series of questions.
"I was asked if I believe homosexuality is a sin. I was asked what portion of the Bible I was reading. I was asked that if a homosexual was hungry and walked up to me, would I give them something to eat."
Miano said Wednesday that he was hoping to get a copy of the interrogation, "because the world really needs to hear it."
On Thursday, he posted a transcript from the interrogation on his website, Cross Encounters. Sports Fan International, the mission team that organized the evangelistic effort outside the Wimbledon tennis tournament, quickly retained attorney Michael Phillips of Christian Concern, an organization Miano described as being similar to the American Center for Law and Justice and Alliance Defending Freedom in the United States. Phillips relayed the bad news to Miano that he was facing 24 hours in jail, followed by prosecution, in which he could possibly be ordered to stay in England until the completion of his trial, which could last four to five months.
Miano said he then asked for his Bible and received a copy of the Gideon's Bible, and began reading from Acts 1-5, and explained that he found particular comfort in chapters 3-5. He also said he sang hymns inside his jail cell.
In time, Miano said a peace came over him. He later found out that although he was expecting the worst, the inspector had decided to release him "without further action." He was released just after midnight on Tuesday.
Updated: added last line from article:
To watch the exchange between Metroplitan Police officers and Tony Miano, forward to 25:40 minutes.
The British Gov't is a Sin.
Not all Christian believers.
Not all of them
No, I will simply do it somewhere else. Notice my tag line. That is a big mission field.
Within twenty years, perhaps ten.
I believe virtually all churches and Christians will stop speaking out about sin.
Most stopped years ago.
In mu opinion, this aspect of the culture war can't be stressed enough. Homosexuality is an abomination and God justly smote Sodom and Gomorrah for their evil. But adultery, fornication and pornography are likewise vile sins displeasing to the Lord.
Makes 1776 look like a genius move. We were much smarter then.
Definitely ping worthy.
"No doubt this sort of thing is going to happen here in America in the not too distant future."
Yes, that's a definite...probably during this administration, now that "same sex marriage" has a foothold. It will be one of the dividing issues between true Christians and professing Christians.
:') It was.
Hey, he's witnessing to Caesar.
Whether it does good to Caesar or not is indifferent. That's in God's hands. But he did what God asked of him.
The ones who stopped and won't start again will probably dissolve.
God doesn't warn so much about sin because He is a meanie! He warns because He wants His love to work. He's never going to endorse anything weird, never going to give His glory to another.
it's officially on now. Denying the truth of the Bible has set the stage. Let the second coming arrive.
most already have. I walked out of a church that was running a film about homosexuals that were Christians and the pastor was embracing them gay or not.
Coming soon to an Obamanation near you.
Forgiving doesn't mean excusing. If they're being open and unconcerned about "gayness" then this is plain wrong. And anyhow it isn't a matter of mere squeamishness. Sodomy is gratuitous violence.
[[[Sorry to say I believe virtually all churches and Christians will stop speaking out about sin]]]
Churches already have stopped. You rarely hear sin discussed even in supposedly hard core evangelical and "fundamentalist" churches. Sin is only mentioned in the general sense, as something vague and unpleasant that God does not like.
Pastors rarely get specific about sin. They do not do sermons about lying, stealing or fornicating, or explicitly say you are destined for @#!*% for rejecting Christ. It's all sweet nothings.
Exactly the Liberal Christians or Christians who voted for corrupt politicians will one day have to decide which side will they lean. Will they continue to speak out about Sin or will they just quiet down and just go along?
"Denying the truth of the Bible has set the stage. Let the second coming arrive."
For such a time as this: http://patburt.com/
how often do they arrest and interrogate muslims about what they believe, what parts of the koran they read, and start grilling them aboutwhat they'd do if a hungry person asked them for something to eat?
jackbooted wankers.
Which State do you live in? I would like to extend an invitation to visit our Baptist Church, get some good ol' "fire and brimstone" sermons and watch people praying at the altar.
As soon as things quiet down he'll be deported.
They're not that stupid. Christians won't cut your head off, Muslims will. They pretend that it's Christians they're worried about, but the proof is in how they deal with whom.
A mid-80's year old priest near here really lays it on as well. That's the parish we attend. Also, the Southern Baptist church near here is graciously allowing our kids to attend their summer camp next week. I'm 100% confident they'll get the "right kind" of influence there, as they have at the same church's VBS the past several years.
I was in London ten years ago and a man was fire and brimstone preaching from a platform overlooking all the working drones making their way to work. He was doing a fine job of it. All of a sudden he ran off - a minute later I see two bobbies and another man where the preacher had been - all busily looking to arrest him.
I felt like I was in a scene from 1984 - and still all the drones kept moving like nothing happened.
Must not let anything happen to disturb the people and cause them think for themselves!
Just about every sermon the Pastor will make reference to sin and becoming right with God...it's part of the Altar Call.
"Watch begining at 1:08"
GREAT VIDEO! It should be played before every church service to wake people up. Christians have their heads in the sands, consumed by the affairs of this world.
A survey showed that 3 out 4 people in my community don't go to church. Souls must be saved. JESUS is coming in clouds of glory anytime.
That's great stuff. More power to you.
I've been in many "conservative" churches and heard a lot of airheaded praise music combined with attacks on legalism in churches (which may be an implied criticism of Catholicism).
In fact many conservative churches are not legalistic enough, judging by the fact that evangelicals have similar rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births as the secular world.
So someone is offended and this man goes to jail. I'm offended every day. Does that mean that every left-wing harridan should go to jail that offends me? No, of course not. Offense is only allowable if it is politically correct. It's just a ruse to silence those who opposed the leftist Communist fascist agenda.

Ephesians 5
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Unlike watercolor brushes, oil brushes, and most other paintbrushes, Sumi brushes are composed of two separate parts. Yasutomo's Bamboo Calligraphy Brush is no exception.
The central core of this brush, which determines its height and basic function, is composed of relatively stiff hairs gathered to form a tapered point. The outer wrapping consists of softer hairs that have been selected for their ability to hold water and facilitate smooth strokes.
The hairs of the inner core and the outer wrapping are the same length and come to a point when dipped into water.
The hair structure of the Yasutomo Bamboo Calligraphy Brush ensures smooth maneuverability and dynamic strokes when both light or heavy pressure are applied.

Vans - Off the Wall! Back in March 1966 the van Doren brothers Paul and James opened their first skate shop in Anaheim, California. At this time Paul also developed the first shoe particularly designed for skateboarding – the "Hi-Top", later called "Sk8-Hi". For more than 50 years Vans shoes are worn by skaters, musicians and almost every other subculture you could think of. Besides their famous and colorful shoes, Vans offers a whole range of good quality street wear including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, bags, beanies and accessories. Since the age of the Dogtown Boys huge names like Tony Alva, Christian Hosoi, Geoff Rowley and Chima Ferguson rode and ride on the classic waffle pattern. So when to it comes to skateboarding, Vans is just like skinned knees - it wouldn't be the same without it.

Performer adds twist to drunken rube actMonday, February 8th, 2010
Kyle Franklin has added a twist to a routine done by many performers over the years as a "flying farmer" or a drunken spectator act. The idea is that someone untrained steals a Piper Cub during an airshow, in full view of the audience, and flies a wobbly routine. Franklin's twist is to scrape both wingtips. Maybe some other act is scraping wingtips, too, but it has escaped notice until now. Take a look at the video titled "Comedy Act Video." It is at the bottom of the Franklin Web page.

text: There was little said about it, but a French company achieved the first manned electric helicopter flight back on August 12. The flight lasted a little more than two minutes and achieved a height of three feet. The battery technology just isn't there yet to make electric helicopter flight practical. The specially designed one-seat, twin-rotor helicopter used dangerous Lithium ion polymer pouch cells that would have erupted in flames had the helicopter crashed. It was designed, built, and flown by French enginer Pascal Cretien, who was sponsored by a French company, Solution F. Sikorsky Innovations plans to fly its electric Firefly helicopter soon, and then put it on the shelf to wait for battery technology to improve.

New series: Homeless in the Copper Country
Editor's note: This article is the first of a two-part series looking at the issue of homelessness in the Copper Country.
HANCOCK – There are many reasons for a person to find him- or herself homeless. Sometimes it's a lost job, failing health, an abusive living situation or drug addiction, just to name a few.
Regardless of how it happens, it's important to remember that help is available to those who ask for it.
While there are no facilities in the Copper Country dedicated specifically to homelessness, it's still something local professionals encounter.
Maj. Mark Brown of The Salvation Army said he has interacted with four or five people in the last month who requested help due to an adverse living situation. However, The Salvation Army does not have the facilities to act as a shelter.
"What we can give them is a bus ticket for where there is a (dedicated) shelter, like Green Bay," Brown said. "The ticket costs around $50."
Brown added The Salvation Army usually wouldn't put someone up in a hotel, which is a practice some resource centers will do, because it's a short-term solution to a bigger problem.
He also said the reason people come for help is usually because of a domestic dispute.
"A lot of times they have had a fight with someone they're living with," he said.
Houghton County Department of Human Services Assistance Payments Supervisor Jim Tervo said the state has a specific definition of what constitutes being homeless and the only way a person can be helped for being homeless is if they fall within those guidelines.
According to Tervo, a person is considered homeless if that person is living in an emergency shelter or hotel, the person came in from the street, a car on the street or a place unfit for human habitation and there is no other place where the person can return.
Anyone exiting jail, prison, juvenile detention, substance abuse rehabilitation or someone affected by a natural disaster is also considered to be homeless.
"Any person who voluntarily leaves their home and can return without fear of violence we consider to not be homeless," Tervo said.
Although DHS is based in Houghton County, it also covers Baraga and Keweenaw counties. Tervo said that within that three-county range, DHS might see a dozen applications a month citing homelessness as a cause.
"We have quite a few applications for people who might think they're homeless because they're (going from couch to couch) or living with family members," Tervo said. "The true cases are two or three (a month)."
Of the cases that have been handled this past month, one was a court-ordered eviction due to non-payment of rent. Tervo said that a situation of this type may qualify as an eligible situation.
However, in order to receive help from DHS, a person would need to have some sort of income.
"If we put someone into a place and pay their first month's rent and security deposit, they would have no way to pay the next month's rent (if they don't have income)," Tervo said.
For a single person, the cap for what DHS could pay is $410, which would go toward rent and security deposit.
In order to receive help, when someone finds him- or herself homeless they would first need to fill out an application. But DHS does not find housing for people. It is up to the person applying for benefits to find his or her own housing.
The average wait time between filling out an application and the decision regarding eligibility is about 10 days, according to Tervo.
A person would need to find his or her own living arrangements while waiting to see if qualification is possible. A referral would then be made to a place that could give immediate, short-term help, like The Salvation Army or St. Vincent de Paul.
Tervo said some of the causes of homelessness that he's seen have been due to drug and alcohol abuse, but that does not factor in to whether DHS is able to help.
"How they got homeless doesn't matter to us," Tervo said. "It's 100 percent about the financials."
For example, if someone has income but chooses not to spend it on shelter, DHS would not be able to help.
"Because their income was spent on things other than shelter, we wouldn't be able to help that person," Tervo said.
If someone were to lose his or her job and can foresee a homeless situation in the near future, DHS also wouldn't be able to help until the home is in foreclosure or an eviction notice has been served.
Tervo also said ignorance of help available isn't an issue when it comes to homelessness.
"People in the Copper Country are survivors," Tervo said. "They know what it takes to get from one day to the next."
Teresa Meyers, treasurer of the Ontonagon-based St. Vincent de Paul Society, said it assists homeless people from time to time.
"They usually go to the sheriff's office and then a deputy will bring him over," Meyers said.
While it has no long-term shelter, Meyers said a person will usually put someone up in a motel for a few nights and give food.
But Meyers said it usually doesn't receive many people who ask for help because of homelessness.
Occasionally, help will be given to a transient who is sleeping in a car, but that is mainly during the summer.
"They come to us mostly for food or for gas," Meyers said.
Homelessness isn't just a problem for abused men or women or those who have lost their jobs. Teenagers can also be homeless, even when they're attending school.
Gray Webber, superintendent of the Ontonagon Area School District, said most school districts have a go-to person who tracks and oversees the status of any student who may be qualified as homeless.
"There is generally some money that goes to districts in support of homeless students," Webber said.
However, the school is not assigned the task to get them out of a homeless situation, he said.
"The school is instructed to report them (to cooperating agencies) and notify students of resources that might be available," Webber said. "We are not to intervene as any kind of controlling agency."
The primary agencies that would need to be informed, he said, would be the Social Security Department for its Supplemental Security Income program, local nonprofits and Friend of the Court.
Webber said there are about three students in the district who qualify as homeless.
Anyone who finds him- or herself homeless, or knows someone who may benefit from the services provided by the above agencies, can call The Salvation Army at 482-3420 and the Department of Human Services at 482-0500.

73-year-old retired autoworker exhibits quilts at Besser Museum
The Quirky Quilters in Oscoda already was 90 members strong when its 91st member decided to join the group a few years ago. Even with such a large guild, that newest quilter stood out conspicuously amongst all the others. As a retired millwright from the Ford Rouge Plant in Dearborn, the now 73-year-old Gerald Brauer held the distinction of being the only guy in the group.
"In order to show off my work there, I had to join the guild," said Brauer, who resides in Oscoda but winters in Texas with his wife, Linda.
Brauer has been quilting in earnest for the last eight years and is a multiple award winner. Currently, he has a display of his quilts on exhibit at the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan. The exhibit includes one of his favorites, Tequilla Sunrise, which features 320 points done with the paper piecing method in variations of purple fabric.
"That one got me a blue ribbon at the Alcona County Fair," Brauer said.
He made his initial foray into quilting more than 30 years ago, when the mother of a girl he was dating at the time talked him into doing a quilt with applique leaves on it. The relationship ultimately didn't work out, and Brauer said he didn't think about quilting again until several decades later when a sister's daughter was getting married.
He decided at that time to make a quilt for his niece, and since she was getting married in Texas, Brauer chose to applique four boots, four tall hats, four outlines of the state of Texas and for steer horns onto the quilt. The one-of-a-kind gift also featured a block with the Alamo appliqued on it.
Brauer next picked up a quilting project he found in a quilting store.
"It was a calendar book where every day was a different block," he said. "It struck my interest. My goal was to make the whole year of blocks, but everything got in the way. I only got a month and a half of it done."
Instead, he turned his attention back to the original appliqued leaf quilt he had made all those years ago, and decided to create a new version of the same pattern for each of his three children.
Brauer realizes it is unusual for a guy to take up quilting. He said he retired from his job in 1999 and came to live full-time in the Oscoda area near where he had been vacationing for years. He considers himself skilled in a number of different areas, including carpentry.
"I've always been a carpenter at heart," he said. "I make some furniture, books cases, picture frames and other odds and ends."
It was while wintering in Texas that Brauer really increased his knowledge and interest in quilting by taking classes for two years.
"In Texas there are so many hobbies to learn. I took up stained glass, and then quilting took over," he said.
His Diamond Log Cabin Quilt, on exhibit at the Besser Museum, is another award winner. Made of 1,200 pieces of fabric, it took a first place in the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild Show in Texas. Originally, the finished piece was supposed to be a square-shaped table topper, but Brauer modified it into an octagon to allow for more log cabin diamonds.
Another of Brauer's favorite projects on display in Alpena is a massive 50 United States Stars Quilt. It took him 500 hours of work to complete. The overall quilt sports 3,625 separate pieces of fabric, including 3,500 just for the 50 stars signifying each state. The state of Michigan alone has 128 pieces and four hours of sewing time.
Brauer said there are 74,000 embroidered stitches on the finished project, which is 12 feet long by seven feet tall. He relied on Cathy Hughes of Gaylord for the finishing quilting stitches. He also credits his wife for being extremely helpful, especially when it comes to fixing his mistakes.
The exhibit also shows a paper-pieced work in progress which Brauer plans to finish up starting in October, since his quilting time is relegated mostly to the fall and winter months of the year. His exhibit at the Besser Museum will remain on display through Oct. 9.

Dave Smith has been mountain biking for a long time and used to work in the construction industry. With the downturn in construction he started a new business to called "Shuttle Smith" which provides a service to shuttle riders from Aptos to Buzzard Lagoon road near the East entrance of Nisene Marks. Dave converted his cube van and can securely carry 9 bikes and riders.
The goal is to provide a way that riders can get to SDSF and upper Nisene Marks without driving. After a loop or two in SDSF then you can ride down the Nisene Marks fireroad back down to Aptos. Or you can ride over to Aptos to catch the shuttle and meet some friends at SDSF.
The service costs $15 and starts June 5th 2010 with pickup next to Epicenter Cycling in Aptos Station at 9:00 am, 11 am, 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. See the Shuttle Smith flyer for more details.
Dave is quite flexible to provide shuttle services for other locations or you can rent Dave and his van for special events.
I applaud Dave's entrepreneurial spirit and he recognizes there is a market for mountain bike tourism and services.
Call Dave at 831-234-3383 to make a reservation.

Massachusetts Additions to Income
Allocated Tips (From box 8 of your W-2)

Note: This exemption does not apply to your U.S. tax return.
Taxable IRA/Keogh and Roth IRA Conversion Distributions
Enter the taxable portion of any amount you received from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Keogh, qualified charitable IRA distribution or Roth IRA conversion distribution.

Parents, teachers and care providers of children are likely to be increasingly aware of a term known as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying has become a comparably common term in the modern press and media, with a number of disturbing cases leading to the suicides of teenagers and children.
Definition. According to Stop Cyberbullying, cyberbullying occurs when a child, preteen or teen is bullied using the Internet, any interactive or digital technology, or a mobile phone. The term bullying covers a broad spectrum of different behaviors and includes harassing, threatening, embarrassing or humiliating somebody. Cyberbullying always involves a minor on both sides. When adults are involved in this kind of problem, it is known as cyber-harassment or cyberstalking.
Scale of the problem. Cyberbullying is seldom a one-time issue. Many children are victims of prolonged, intensive, relentless cyberbullying. Cyberbullying behavior takes many forms and is only limited to the willingness and imagination of the bully, as well as the availability of digital technology. Modern technologies make it much easier for cyberbullies to invade a child's personal space and to remain relatively anonymous. Children and teenagers have killed each other and committed suicide as a result of cyberbullying.
Punishment under law. Cyberbullying can often be difficult to prove, and the perceived risk of making things worse, or not getting support, means that children often decide not to report the issue. This type of behavior can, however, become a misdemeanor charge or could result in a charge of juvenile delinquency. Once a bully's parents become involved, however, things normally do not go this far.
Dealing with cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can be very difficult to stop, and it relies on the willingness of children to report problems. Various programs have been introduced to help this, including school education campaigns and websites for anonymously reporting problems. Outside school, parents can help by ensuring that they encourage children to tell them if they are being bullied in this way, and by ensuring that children understand the implications of their own actions. One method is to teach children to think carefully about what they say and how they say it. Parental support is critical in the success of these campaigns.

Skip to comments.Time For A Constitutional Convention?
Posted on 10/06/2011 11:11:12 AM PDT by Kaslin
Last week the unthinkable happened. While you were distracted by the banal and only marginally important presidential primaries, the lion, Harvard Law School, publicly lay down with the lamb, the Tea Party Patriots. The long-term political implications are, potentially, far more potent than a mere presidency.
The SuperElite and the SuperPopulists convened at Harvard for a Conference for a Constitutional Convention. It was co-hosted by Lawrence Lessig, from Harvard, and by Mark Meckler, co-founder of the 850,000 member Tea Party Patriots.
Lessig is a leading figure on the social democratic left, the director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard Law School. Elena Kagan (then Harvard Law School Dean, now U.S. Supreme Court Justice) once said, Larry Lessig is one of the most brilliant and important legal scholars of our time . His work has recast the very terms of discussion and debate in multiple areas of law, ranging from intellectual property to constitutional theory. His new focus on questions of governance and corruption will be similarly transformative.
Lessig is also the author of canonical and subversive books on subjects as diverse as the Internet and copyright law. His most recent and most subversive work: Republic, Lost. Most scholars could (and do) retire on the job with much lesser accomplishments than this, happily disappearing into the status quo. So what the hell is this one up to, enduring a lot of hostility for showing respect to a vilified ideological opponent?
Mecklers biography is more laconic than Lessigs: originally from southern California graduating from McGeorge Law School credits his father with having passed to him a patriotic foundation and cowboy ethics. But his role, as co-founder and one of the national coordinators of the Tea Party Patriots, the largest and most authentic of the Tea Party groups, is all the credential he needs to stand in equal dignity with Lessig. Similar to Mecklers is the dignity of the Tea Party Patriots resident constitutional expert, Bill Norton, who also spoke at Harvard as a citizen scholar.
Lessig and the Tea Party, and its guiding spirits, are populists. Populism was forever redefined by Jeffrey Bell (a business partner of this columnist) as optimism about peoples ability to manage their own affairs better than an elite can manage them for them. Populism is neither left nor right wing. Populists of all stripes share in common a conviction in power to the people, a belief that in a republic citizen is the noblest office. And while Lessig and Meckler may disagree about just about every ideological issue, their respect for the wisdom and dignity of the citizens unites them in a realm far more important than the ideological.
They came together to explore a mechanism by which Americas government can be changed by, of, and for the people. Jefferson was unequivocally right when he wrote:
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
So. Are there insufferable evils?
Lets start with the federal government spending over a trillion dollars a year more than it takes in. This provoked the Tea Party. Many of us both on the right and in the populist rank and file consider the ballooning national debt to be an insufferable evil.
Congress persistently is refusing to stop spending money it does not have. Sen. Curtis Olafson, a state senator from North Dakota, has a solution. Hes gotten the ball rolling with support in 6 to 12 states for an Article V constitutional convention to prevent raising of the debt limit without state approval. He serves as national spokesperson for the National Debt Relief Amendment.
The left seems, mainly, outraged by the decision of Citizens United allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts in independent expenditures as is their clear First Amendment right. Lessig is a somewhat lonely figure on the left in not promoting a proto-fascist solution, censorship, to the problems being caused by so damn much money in politics. The core of Lessigs approach is that of making available optional (rather than coercive) public financing of congressional elections. This is not radically dissimilar to the system in place for matching funds for presidential primaries and, while unequivocally Progressive, falls far short of Leninism (much to the dismay of the Communist Party USA, which attended the conference to denounce Lessig and push for a new, communist, constitution for North America).
Lessig is heartsick about how campaign contributions have come so to dominate the attention of candidates and members of Congress that it makes problems insoluble and is sinking America as a republic. Lessig is evenhanded in pointing out the distortions. He shows how political contributions clearly interfere with the free market process contributions buying sugar tariffs leading to all kinds of degradations of the free market. Then he shows how campaign money destroys left wing priorities, mangling, perhaps terminally, the drive to get to sustainable universal health insurance. The current financing system also feeds popular cynicism, undermining our overall political health.
The corrupting effect of money in politics is more populist than left wing. The dean of the Article V convention movement, former Michigan Chief Judge Thomas Brennan, no left winger, attended the conference and blogged:
Money that flows like raw sewage from K Street to the Capital. Money that corrupts. Money that influences. Money that changes our nation from a democratic republic to a sinister oligarchy of career politicians, corporate fat cats, ward healing bosses, and the lobbyists who tie them all together.
The last thing the incumbents in Congress will do is to change the rules in a way that might level the playing field between themselves and challengers, leading to an almost 100% reelection rate even though Congress, as a body, suffers from a pathetic 11% approval rating. Therefore, Lessig is proposing to call an Article V convention to end run the Congress. So is Olafson in his effort to take away Congresss credit cards.
To get there they need 34 states. There are pockets of strong resistance to such a convention, most notably the John Birch Society, Phyllis Schlafly, and Laurence Tribe, surely a strange bedfellows coalition if ever there was one. On the other hand, the most respected state-based policy institute in America, the Goldwater Institute, has fielded Nick Dranias, who there holds the Clarence J. and Katherine P. Duncan Chair for Constitutional Government and is Director of the Joseph and Dorothy Donnelly Moller Center for Constitutional Government, to make an ironclad case that such an Article V call can be useful while constrained.
Yes, Meckler was there in his personal, rather than in an institutional, capacity, did not speak for the Tea Party Patriots, and did not endorse Lessigs campaign finance reform. No, Lessig did not endorse Sen. Olafsons debt ceiling limit. All beside the point. For the first time in modern history the populist left and populist right came together to endorse, and seek a way to operationalize, a transcendent belief in citizens over government.
No Con Cons.
This is my nightmare. What better way to promote big government than have all restrictions on it removed from the Constitution?
I DON'T want a "Constitutional Convention".
We HAVE the Constitutional mechanisms in place to effectuate what we want. We just don't have voters SMART enough to elect people with the courage to USE them.
A Constitutional Convention is the key for the left to destroy the Bill of Rights.
I will not be Con'd by your idiotic call for a Con Con so you can undermine our inherent rights.
It will be complete chaos, take years, and in the end nobody will be happy with the outcome. Sounds like great TV. What the hell.
The Constitution is fine as it is. Not following it is the problem.
No to a Constitutional Convention!
Absolutely not
That is correct
Not only no but HELL NO! We need to just ditch all the bad law that isnt constitutional already! Why have a new constitution that they wont obey?
If we ever open the hood the Left will gut the Constitution. Everything we hold dear will be destroyed and every crazy half-baked "right" you can imagine and some you wouldn't want to imagine will be ensconced in perpetuity. No thanks!
If you cannot control who gets elected to run your Govt how in the world do you think you would control who got elected to a Constitutional Convention? Do this and kiss the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendments good bye.
Time for Secession.
- - Herman Cain
"For the first time in modern history the populist left and populist right came together to endorse, and seek a way to operationalize, a transcendent belief in citizens over government."
Breath-takingly naive. Harvard Law professors would dominate and subvert the process and substance. Even talking to people at HLS is a mistake.
No. It's time for remedial reading classes for congress covering the general welfare and interstate commerce clauses.
is a gullible twit !
Time For A Constitutional Convention?
No. This is a Trojan Horse. And evidently Mark Meckler is far too naive to be trusted with the family silver.
Naah...now that F&F/GunWalker failed to gut the Second Amendment on behalf of the RinoCracy...now they'd like to talk us out of it.
The existing Constitution is all we needed to become the most successful Nation on this Earth, but the tinkering of the Power hungry, the power hungry Professional Politicians, and the aspirations of brazen political criminals has undermined that success.
We must identify, and vote out those DemoRATS, and RINO's that are abusing us by using our government, therefore us as their personal resource.
Huh? Can you explain why you think so?
Why? We can't protect the wonderful one we already have.
If the Framers of the Constitution showed up incognito to this new Constitutional Convention and proposed the same ideas of limits on power and checks and balances, they would be unceremoniously tossed out the door as "dangerous extremists" and probably added to a Big Sis watchlist.
After reading Matthew Bracken's Enemies Foreign and Domestic Trilogy,I would never support a Constitutional Convention. His Book 2 envisions such a scenario. He has been prescient in his writings, and should be required reading for all Freepers.
Worst time ever for a Constitutional convention.
Secession is far more appealing, and that is not a good idea either.
Convention, no. Restoration, yes.
Now is the perfect time. Due to demographics and unhappiness with Obama, conservatism is at it's high water mark. The GOP won't save us. We just elected a ton of tea partitiers and they immediately started to vote with the establishment. They continue to fund CBRs
The Judiciary need to have lengths of term defined.
Article 1, Section 8 needs to have more clearly defined restrictive language added to it.
There are a couple of other areas where language needs to be added, deleted or amended so that even the most 'progressive' judge cannot fail to understand that the Constitution is intended as a LIMIT on the power of the federal government, not as a template for expanding government power.
There are two methods by which constitutional amendments can be proposed. I sincerely doubt that two-thirds of ANY congress will EVER propose constitutional amendments to limit their own power. That means a constitutional convention demanded by 2/3 of the state legislatures is the only route by which the necessary changes can be proposed. Although I agree it is a long shot, I consider it a FAR more likely event than two-thirds of congress proposing the necessary revisions.
I want a convention, assuming only one condition. If, since I live in Texas, at the end, Texas gets to vote on it. If we reject the outcome, we are free to leave the union.
It would be extremely dangerous.
Just look at the list of demands coming from the hippies on Wall Street and imagine them being enshrined as constitutional rights. It could happen.
I'll second that emotion. The last thing in the world we need right now is a con con.
I don't think Tea Parties are Populist. I see them as Constitutionalist and Patriotic. They are our original country. The rest have moved radically Left to the Communist cause.
I agree. Any CC would be hijacked by Marxist radicals, and the new constitution would look like the USSR's.
It requires no rewording. Only a congress with backbone. The congress may tell the supremes what is out of bounds. That is in the current constitution. It is ignored only by habit and custom, but the congress can put bounds on the supremes.
If they will not, then only the States can - and I think it can only be done via more simple, direct language in the document itself.
I know, I know. Who would ever have thought that the simple, direct language of the original document would not be simple or direct enough? But remember, we're talking here about politicians who have either been elected to congress or who have been appointed to their judicial position by a politician - they're not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. SIMPLE commands will be the most effective.
The liberals will lie, cheat and steal such a movement for a new and improved constitution. When they are done, we will be China.
The US Constitution already exists , and has proven itself to be a good , reliable , consistant basis of American Exceptionalism.
We have elected representatives who have sworn to defend the Constitution ~ and who have bent their moral compass ~ and have chosen to not defend the Constitution as it already exists .
I trust no man (or woman) currently in office to re-write the Constitution.
The Founding Fathers were inspired ; most of the current lot of representatives are whores of power , money ,influence , arrogance , and self-importance.
Liberals have made a new constituion through "living" constitutional court rulings and political betrayals.
I think it is safe to say, looking at our current government, the corruption of the re-educated and culturally cleansed elitists and the country's police powers, there is no more American constituion as our American ancestors, beginning with the founders, knew it.
The Left could make this state of affairs much worse if given the power to directly tamper with the constitution. But we are headed to their end game convention or no convention.
Why, oh why, how, oh how do people imagine that the cure for a disaster which exists solely because the constitution is not followed is to rewrite the constitution which is not being followed. If the doctor writes a prescription which they never have filled and they get sicker do they demand that he write another?
I abandoned my resolutions that I made last New Year's day but not to worry, I will make some new ones come January first.
This constitution or any other that might be written is worthless until and unless we have honest judges to interpret it and honest legislative and executive branches to abide by it. As it is we have not even one of the three. If we had them the present constitution would serve us very well.
A Can Can would be much preferable to a Con Con...and better organized!
You cannot make the commands simple enough for those who have no intention of obeying them. We have already had a president who said it depends on what the meaning of is is.
This constitution or any other that might be written is worthless until and unless we have honest judges to interpret it and honest legislative and executive branches to abide by it. As it is we have not even one of the three. If we had them the present constitution would serve us very well.

SWCS Hires Superintendent
The Southwestern Board of Education has announced the appointment of Maureen Donahue as the superintendent of schools for the Southwestern Central School District, effective Jan. 22.
Donahue currently serves as the superintendent of schools for the Friendship Central School District, a position that she has held since 2005. She brings an extensive administrative career background to Southwestern's schools.
She began her career in public education as a teacher of special education at the Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES in 1984. Throughout her career, Donahue has served as a special education teacher in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools in Charlotte, N.C.; a behavior specialist for the Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES; and an administrative supervisor for the BOCES. Prior to her appointment in 2005 as superintendent at Friendship, she also held the positions of middle school assistant principal and elementary principal/director of special education for the Olean City School District.
Donahue has maintained a focus on student achievement throughout her career. She has initiated systemic change efforts, which led to increased student performance. She has extensive experience developing and managing school budgets. She has had experience and success in capital construction projects. And, most recently, she has fully implemented the New York State APPR initiative. Donahue maintains a highly visible presence within the community at school and community events within the schools she serves.
Donahue earned her bachelor's degree in elementary/special education from Slippery Rock University, her master's in exceptional education from Buffalo State College, her school administration degree from St. Bonaventure University and she was an associate of the Superintendent Development Program sponsored by SUNY Oswego. Donahue is a member of many professional organizations and boards, and presently serves as treasurer of the executive board of the New York State Council of School Superintendents.
Jim Butler, president of Southwestern's Board of Education, commented on behalf of the board, "Mrs. Donahue will be a wonderful asset to our school district. Her professional background and track record of improving student performance will serve our students well. We are excited about her positive outlook, her leadership style and record of achievement."
Donahue stated, "I am energized by the opportunity to serve the Southwestern Central School staff, students and school community as the superintendent of schools. Southwestern is an outstanding school system and a great place to live. The pride and enthusiasm exhibited by all stakeholders during the interviews was clearly evident. I look forward to making contributions that will benefit students and the entire community.This is a great place to work and to learn at all levels. I truly am looking forward to becoming a member of this fine school system and community."
The Board of Education conducted an extensive search for an individual to replace Daniel George. George will retire from the district effective Jan. 23.
The Board of Education requested the services of the office of the district superintendent for the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES in its quest to hire a new superintendent of schools. David O'Rourke served as the board's search consultant and worked with the board on all aspects of the search.
"You have a wonderful, caring and family-oriented community," said O'Rourke. "Maureen Donahue has a tremendous background to share with the district and has experiences that will benefit the school district for years to come. I am personally looking forward to working with Maureen. She is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and talented educational leader."

Strata | Spectacularly Salvaged
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Topics of Interest furniture, salvaged, sustainable materials, sustainable wood

If you told Ryan Frank that his Strata collection was garbage, he would probably smile proudly and nod.
This native South African has found a use for the battered redundant office furniture that East London apparently has an abundance of. He's designed Strata, a beautiful set consisting of a chair, dining table, coffee table and stool. In order to create the unique look, Frank laces different woods together, so the collection is 60%-70% salvaged material and the rest is FSC-certified birch ply.

Oh Yeah , They Won Elections Prior To Her Joining The Republican Party.
" Sure, some people might say that Meghan McCain is a spoiled airhead who only has a column at the Daily Beast because of who her daddy is and the fact that she's willing to attack Republicans constantly while she claims to be one, but people who say that might not realize how much they'd miss being called a conservative wingnut every other week by a Paris Hilton knock-off until it's too late. Others might say that the GOP could afford to lose its most prominent Paris Hilton knock-off to the Democrats, but just as America feared letting a missile gap develop with the Soviets, we have to be careful about letting a spoiled, rich, talentless brat gap develop with the Democrats."

Angry Red Lentil Tortilla Soup
Recipe courtesy of Chris Gilliam, Greenwood Village, Colorado
- 2 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup minced carrot
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 habanero pepper, minced
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 2 cups water
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dry chives, for garnish
- 6 tablespoons grated Manchego cheese, for garnish
- 2 lime wedges, for garnish
Campsite Instructions:
Leave tortillas out a few days at room temperature, or on the trail, to allow them to dry out and become crispy.
Place cooking vessel on camp stove over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Add onion, carrot, garlic, and habanero, cook until onions are caramelized. Add red lentils and toast for about 30 seconds.
Add the water and cover the pot with a lid or camp plate. (I never bring a lid for a camp stove, a plate works great and then it's nice and hot to put your food on and saves weight.)
Simmer the soup until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the lentils from sticking.
Mash the soup with a fork or wooden spoon against the sides of the pot, breaking up some of the lentils to thicken the soup. Season with salt and pepper.
Rip up the tortillas and place in the bottom of 2 serving bowls or cups. Ladle soup over the tortillas and garnish with chives, cheese and lime wedges.

A new radio station is broadcasting from Harrisburg, bringing messages of the Catholic faith to listeners.
The Covenant Network is the radio affiliate of the Eternal Word Television Network.
"Several years ago there was an opening with the FCC to apply for new construction permits to build a station. We were looking for a frequency so that we didn't interfere with other stations and your area was one of them," President Tony Holman of the Covenant Network's St. Louis office said.
The station is at 81.1 FM with the call letters WIHM and has been on air since the last week of March. Holman said the broadcast signal is strong enough it can be heard in the neighboring counties.
Local people can play a roll in the format.
"There are live call-in shows where people can participate. The format is mainly teaching the Catholic faith," Holman said.
The station is a listener-supported not-for-profit corporation.
Holman said those who would like a program schedule may call 877-305-1234.

The headline makes is sound like the majority of Palo Altans feel strongly that people living in their cars can park in front of our houses, but when you read closely -- it was only three city council committee members who feel this way. Really, they should offer their street parking in front of their houses to see how well this works out.
The article calls this a "deeply divisive proposal" but also mentions that all our surrounding cities have such a ban. How could it be so deeply divisive here but not in Menlo Park or Mountain View, etc.? Sounds more like a few people have an agenda and are pushing it through by trying to make Palo Altans feel guilty if they object to someone living in their car in front of their residence.
Figuring out some alternative area where car dwellers can park is OK. But it is not ok that someone can just start living right in front of your residence.

I was at a bookstore this am and I got a chance to browse through Heather's book, A Single Step. No, I didn't buy it because I am saving up to get a DVD player, Paul's new Cds and DVD and George's Special Edition with DVD of Brainwashed. So I have to wait till next month to get Heather's book. funs are low, as John said.
Anyroad, I have Out On A Limb, so I am very familiar with the older chapters in the book. So I was naturally checking out the newer ones with Paul. For those of you who got that issue of Vanity Fair with the interview with her, there was also an excerpt from this new book.
Meeting Paul, dating, etc..
What intrigued me were the pages in this book about George Harrison.
She discribed meeting him and Olivia after the attack on his life. He and Paul playing the ukelele together. She told how beautiful Olivia is and how they bonded over a skirt stuck in a zipper. She talks about Paul worrying over George's health. How George called Paul after meeting Heather for the first time and telling Paul what a lucky bastard he is. She also described the last meeting that she and Paul had with George and the two of them holding hands. I had to put the book down there as I was getting too sad. Very lovely portrait of George in that book, I must say. Indeed, very touching.
I found the book at the very bottom of a display in the bookstore. I thought, no one's gonna see it down there, so I switched shelves with some other books and brought Heather's books on top.[:)]
As Paul/Beatles fans we do get insider's views of Paul and the others, but not as often as we'd like probably. Just on that merit alone, this is an interesting read. Of course, all of you know that all of the proceeds from the sale of Heather's book is going to Adopt-A-Minefield.

Assuming you have no FOREIGN KEY constraints, you can simply select multiple tables using CUBRID Manager, right click and choose the option Manage Table -> Drop Table.
Using a SQL command, you can type:
DROP TABLE athlete, code, event, game, history, nation, olympic, participant, posts, record, stadium;
You can put any table or tables you want. You only need to separate them with commas and they will be dropped. However, there is one scenario that will lead to the impossibility of running the above mentioned command. If any of the tables have foreign keys referencing other tables without being set to ON DELETE CASCADE (the default is ON DELETE RESTRICT), then the above command will fail.
The solution in this case is to delete all foreign keys before dropping the tables. For example, if you want to drop the game table which has references to athlete and code tables, you must first delete the 2 foreign key constraints. The commands you should run are:
SELECT index_name FROM db_index WHERE class_name = 'game' AND is_foreign_key = 'YES'; ALTER TABLE game DROP FOREIGN KEY fk_game_athlete_code; ALTER TABLE game DROP FOREIGN KEY fk_game_event_code;
The first command finds the names of the foreign keys that the "game" table has. They are in this case fk_game_athlete_code and fk_game_event_code. Then, simply run the DROP FOREIGN KEY command on each of the two indexes.
This approach has to be made for all the tables that have foreign key constraints without ON DELETE CASCADE. If you encounter an error such as "Error description: The primary key 'pk_athlete_code' referred by a foreign key 'fk_game_athlete_code' is not supposed to be dropped." and you don't know what table contains the fk_game_athlete_code column, check out this tutorial: Dropping Primary Key Error

It Pays To Be At The Top
Although median household income and per capita income between Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties are similar, the pay of their elected officials is not.
According to the Empire Center's 2012-13 edition of "What They Make," the center's annual report on public payrolls, the counties are ranked third, fifth and fourth respectively for Western New York counties. The three come behind Erie and Niagara counties.
The report shows that the average pay for county employees in Allegany County is $39,613. Average pay for Cattaraugus County employees is $38,454. And, the average pay for county employees in Chautauqua County is $38,565.
Additionally, the report shows Allegany County to have a total of 529 county employees while Cattaraugus County has 1,162 and Chautauqua County has 1,475.
In a breakdown of the highest paid county and municipal employees by region, the Empire Center's report shows a Chautauqua County employee to be the fourth-highest paid in the category in Western New York. The employee, who makes $162,894 according to the report, is also the highest-paid employee in Chautauqua County.
Despite relative similarities in average pay for county employees, There is a pay difference of $33,852 between the Allegany County administrator – who has a salary of $63,644 for 2013, according to See Through NY – and the Cattaraugus County administrator, who has a salary of $97,496. The Chautauqua County executive has been locked in at a salary of $85,000 for several years.
Between the three counties, there is also a vast difference in pay for the county sheriff, with Chautauqua County once again coming in between Allegany and Cattaraugus counties. The lowest-paid sheriff out of the three is the Allegany County Sheriff, who has a 2013 salary of $63,200, according to See Through NY. The sheriff in Cattaraugus County has a 2013 salary of $92,410, while the Chautauqua County sheriff has a 2013 salary of $83,820.
Another elected position with a pay difference between the three counties is that of county clerk. This time, it is a gap of $16,955 between Cattaraugus County – whose clerk has a 2013 salary of $70,675, according to See Through NY – and the Chautauqua County clerk, who has a salary of $53,720. This time, it is the Allegany County clerk coming in between the two, with a salary of $63,00.
While the salaries of the top elected officials between the three counties differ greatly, it is startling to see the median household income and per capita money income between the three do not. In fact, between the highest and lowest median, the difference is only $1,322.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the median household income is highest in Cattaraugus County, with a median of $42,754. Allegany comes in second for household income, with a median of $41,900. And, Chautauqua County has the lowest median income of the three, with $41,432.
Interestingly, the difference in per capita income between the highest and lowest in the three counties is also $1,322, although in this case the highest is still Cattaraugus County, and the lowest is Allegany County, according to the Census. In Cattaraugus County, per capita money income is $21,369. Chautauqua County falls in the middle, at $21,320. Allegany is the lowest for per capita money income, with $20,047.
The Chautauqua County charter says there shall be an appointed bipartisan County Salary Commission to review and recommend the salaries of all elected officials, except those whose salaries are established, directly or indirectly, by state law. The salary of all officers elected for a fixed term was not to be increased or diminished between the date of their election and the expiration of their term except in accordance with a schedule adopted prior to the time the officer was elected to office which provides higher or lower rates of compensation during the term, or as otherwise mandated by state or federal laws, rules or regulations. The charter also says the commission shall be composed of seven citizens appointed by the county legislature.
It is the duty of the commission to recommend to the county executive and county legislature salary adjustments for elected offices at least one year prior to the general election in which the office is scheduled to be filed.
The Salary Review Commission met in April and May to discuss the salaries of the county executive, sheriff and county clerk, as well as county legislators. Resolutions regarding salary increases were presented to several legislative committees in June.
For the county executive position, the committee recommended an annual salary of $109,480, effective Jan. 1, 2014. The committee recommended that the county clerk position salary be $68,264, and recommended a salary of $87,450 for the sheriff, all as of Jan. 1, 2014.
Before committees met, legislators were already speaking out against proposed changes. Administrative Services Committee Chairman Bob Scudder, R-Fredonia, was the first legislator to voice his opinion over the pay increases.
"I feel this is not the time for elected officials to receive salary increases," he said. "My "no" votes will reflect how I feel about the four local law changes."
Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellicott, also spoke, agreeing that legislators should not receive pay increases. However, he noted some positions have had no pay change in many years.
"There's not been a change in the salary of county executive or county clerk in 20 years," Tarbrake said. "I support that change for those people. Let's move into the 21st century for those people, let's get real here. As far as county legislators go, I'm willing to keep those the same."
Not all legislators felt the same, though. Minority Leader Robert Whitney, D-Jamestown, said he did not see a problem with the proposed increase to salaries.
"I know it's a big jump, but there hasn't been a jump in how many years?" Whitney asked. "There was a lot of experience on that committee. I'm sure people are going to complain about the recommendations, but then again I don't see any primaries where everybody's trying to run now, because it's such a great deal. So, I guess I don't have a problem with it. It's not too late for somebody to jump in if they think it's a great deal."
After being voted down by several committees, legislative Chairman Jay Gould, R-Ashville, made the decision to pull the resolutions before they went to the full legislature.
"There hasn't been enough debate on (the local laws). There must be a better way," Gould said. "Maybe there ought to be another way, other than a citizen's committee, such as a cost of living every year, or every two years or something. (The local laws) weren't enacted in (2008) and they won't be enacted in (2013). As long as we keep going the way we are, it's going to be hard to get people to fill these positions after a while, in a few more years."
According to Gould, there were requests from other legislators to pull the local laws off the agenda as well. He believes there will be other suggestions for salary changes and the process before the discussion is over.
"I think we ought to discuss it a lot more than we have," Gould said. "I couldn't see any passage, all I could see was a couple hours of debate and failure for the laws to pass. So, what use is that at a legislation meeting, other than to burn time?"
Since June, there has been no additional discussion about salaries of elected officials. Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards will be presenting his 2014 budget to the legislature Sept. 25. It is yet unclear whether there will be any changes to salaries recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PreKTeacher This is truly a quality item! I ordered 2, black and purple. My daughter loved them and said they were perfect-she is 18, a college student. we ordered the brown for her. Now we feel set for many occasions! You will love this. January 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsAdventure Wrap it up! This beautiful wrap is very fine-gauge, so it drapes easily, is never bulky, and fits into a carry-on bag or tote for chilly moments en route! The silk-wool blend means it is also durable and warm. It's not quite as wide as the shawls I purchased in India, but still adequate. One side of this wrap has a silky sheen, while the reverse is matte finished for a nice contrast. At this price, buy 2 colors like I did! January 24, 2011
