Gene Larew Biffle Bug
Please Note: Bama Bug & Okeechobee Craw Are Imaged Correctly.
The Gene Larew Biffle Bug incorporates the best features of several top baits into one compact design. The Biffle Bug's body is slim yet wide, and covered with concentric ridges. The first 3/4 inch of the Biffle Bug is solid for hook support, while the rest of its body is hollow like a tube. The cavity is oval, not round, better fitting the shape of the body and also serving to hold a rattle in place simply through natural compression. The Biffle Bug's hyper-active swimming legs feature a special foot-pad to make them come alive with the slightest movement.
Pinch the legs off and the Biffle Bug becomes the perfect glide bait. The cupped tail provides unmatched action to the lure's descent. Although more compact and streamlined with the legs removed, the Biffle Bug retains an enticing profile that screams "easy meal."
Tommy Biffle won the BASS Ft. Gibson Elite Series throwing the "Sooner Run" colored Biffle Bug.

Comments: I tried the Biffle Bug in okie dokie, sooner run, and bama bug in the 3.5" and 4.5" versions texas rigged, and used this setup all summer long because it kept catching fish. The hardhead never worked for me, mainly due to the fact my homewater is a marsh will lots of grass, brush, and weeds, and not many flats or gravel. I chose the biffle bug over other baits because I felt there wasn't many people using this, while they were using all the other popular baits.
From: Marcus: Canton, IL 11/26/14
Comments: Buy some. These things rule! Semi hollow body allows you to stuff the butt with scent. The rear legs have a medium swimming action. The bait is pretty durable too, at least three fish per bait- at least. I've had success with the regular size and the big one (4.5"). Peanut butter jelly is my favorite. These really are the only soft plastics I feel I need for punching.
From: Matt: MA 10/8/14
Comments: Awesome baits. I was extremely late to the party with the Biffle Bug, but now that I've fished it, it's just flat out amazing and a staple in my arsenal. They are durable, come in some great colors, and have a hollow body so you can insert a rattle and a cotton ball soaked in JJ's Magic. Fish flat out kill this thing. Fish it on a 7/16oz Hard Head and you're in business.
From: Jason: Dandridge, TN 10/4/14
Comments: I am very particular about my plastics for whatever use, esp jig trailers. I gave this dude a shot and I'm super glad I did! The Biffle rig is legit but I find my most diverse use for the bug is on a 1/2 Booyah jig. Skip's great, pitch it, stroke it, swim it, drag it, yadda, yadda... THUMP!!! The colors are excellent, the action gets bit and it is very durable. I went through 7 fish bg on 1 today to 4#'s and there is zero signs of the plastic coming off the jig or tearing. A++ in my book guys!
From: Ryan: Evansville, IN 9/17/14
Comments: These things catch fish. When the football head bite slows, throw one of these bad boys on a swinging tungsten FH and get ready. Action is great, and the hollow body opens up so many options- rattles, cotton ball+scent, etc. Fairly durable, and maybe a little more $ than other creature baits, but save your $1 a bag while I keep dragging hogs to the boat.
From: Dallas: GA 8/27/14
Comments: These are great fish catching baits. I have used them for a year now on the hard head in all types of places and they catch fish at any depth. The surprising thing is that when rigged on the hard head they are more durable than I would have expected. I can catch four or five fish per bait in most cases and having a leg tear off is quite rare compared to most baits. I have also had great success swimming them on a texas rig as well as flipping. I opt for them is clearer water scenarios with more depth so that the legs can work and they are not particularly weedless in really heavy cover as they are really soft. The Smoke silver color is no joke. I was skeptical, but it has become my go to color on the hard head.
From: Billy: Washougal, WA 8/9/14
Comments: This bait is a great option for days when fish want something swam along that is not too wiggly. I find it works best for me in post spawn and post front when other things aren't working. Regarding those guys who think a d-bomb or any bait is better because it worked better on a given day, well, great! You will find on different days that some baits work better than others. Or on some waters some baits are a better match to what the fish eat. That doesn't make one better than the other beyond that one day or that one water. To think these aren't worth keeping in your bag because one day another bait worked better is to limit your upside on days that other bait isn't getting bit and these might get em going..... you are only limiting yourself with that thinking. Bring your d-bombs, fish your d-bombs, but keep some other styles handy if needed.
From: Eric: 8/6/14
Comments: This has become my go to bait for catching big fish. It is deadly on docks or ledges. I caught a 8.2lb and a 4lb. on docks in a tournament that only 8 anglers caught fish. It is great on ledges also. The 4.25 oz. purple bug has been my best producing bait.
From: Carl: Hunterville, NC 7/17/14
Comments: I have no clue of what in the world this thing resembles or how it got to the drawing board but believe one thing buddy this is a fish catching machine in a Bag. Dark Watermelon Green And Purple Flake with a 3/16 Spot Remover head and send it to the bottom or Carolina Rig it stuffed with a Cotton Ball full of Smelly Jelly.
From: CJ: Gretna, LA 7/9/14
Comments: There is no question about the fish catching ability of this bait! Any conditions this bait can and will catch fish. Countless times I have put my kicker fish in the boat with a biffle bug accompanied with the biffle hard head.
From: Cody: North, TX 5/27/14
Comments: LOVE this bait! Durability 9/10 the durability is great, i caught 4 bass until it actually started ripping, and i could still even use it! Action 10/10 on the fall the 2 little legs flap erratically and the bass just engulf it! Price 7/10 a little on the expensive side but its totally worth it. All in all if you are looking for a great creature bait to use any time of the year, the 4.25 inch biffle bug in green pumpkin is the way to go! Rig it on a VMC rugby jig head (5/16 oz) and go to town! I found my go to creature bait!
From: Colin: MA 4/24/14
Comments: Combined with the hard head, the Biffle Bug is an easy-to-fish hybrid between a texas rig and crank bait. Honestly, with the hard head it is a simple cast-and-reel lure, just keep it on the bottom. Buy any shade of green and you can't go wrong.
From: Richard: TX 4/18/14
Comments: I'm With Jay, fished the whole day with the Biffle Bug and caught 2 alright sized fish. first cast with the D Bomb, got a 4 pounder. Ended up catching 7 fish on the D Bomb. I was using the hard head jig on the Biffle Bug, but just a t-rig on the D-Bomb which may have made the difference.
From: Logan: USA 3/29/14
Comments: Oh boy I'm gonna get bashed (I don't care) but fished side by side with a D Bomb, the D Bomb gets bit more, every time. Now, this is just during a month-long pitching bite (and just casting them around too) but still...
From: Jay6: USA
Comments: Fantastic bait. Hard to fish wrong- I've caught big fish on the hardhead, flipping it, swimming it, T-rigging it, and recently starting rigging it sideways on a swim jig just to see if it would work that way. It did. Will be your next go-to bait.
From: John: Tulsa, OK, USA
Comments: The BEST creature bait on the market. I've tried lots, and none compare to the biffle bug. I can't count the number of bass I've caught on it, and I just started using it this year. Cons: A bit pricey at $5 per bag, because after about 3-4 fish, you gotta have a new one. Pros: IT CATCHES FISH. So who cares about the cons! 'nuff said! <
From: Eric: Mississippi, USA
Comments: What a great bait!! I have the 4.25" in Black Neon & Silver and Black & Yellow underside. The flapping legs are what set this bait apart and draw bass attention. Tip is solid, but body hollow to hold a rattle. Surprisingly durable. Caught a 20" 4.67# bass and one 18" 3.5# plus several smaller and the baits look like new. Great color selection. I throw mine on 4/0 Trokar swimbait hook with 1/8oz tungston bullet. Can also use as jig trailer. May 2013.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: I fished with the 3.5" version of this bait in the holston river in tennessee for some big smallmouth. I rigged it on a 1/16 oz shakeyhead on 6 pound test line and couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I swam it through pools and caught fish after fish. I got back from TN and tried it in a warm, grassy pond by my house and using the same method, I caught a solid 7 pound pre-spawn female. GREAT BAIT!
From: Baxter: Acworth, GA
Comments: These baits are SWEET. Just started using them this year rigged with the Biffle Hardheads and have caught a bunch of big bass, both largemouth and smallmouth on these, and have won 2 of 3 tournaments with a good amount of fish coming on these. I've caught them on deep rock piles, flipping docks, fish on beds and just swimming them like a swim jig, it all works with this bait
From: Jake: Boston, MA
Comments: The best their is. First cast with the jalapeno pepper, in about 3 seconds i get a hit from a 12# largemouth. So i got about 5 more colors and found that the Jalapeno and the blackberry work the best. But no matter what color you get you will catch the bass. GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: David
Comments: This bait is awesome!!! and I will continue to use it they work just perfect I practically use the bait very much with out changing the bait I have other good lures but like this bait I catch Bass after Bass I bag about 5 Bass in less than 1 hour 1/2 over the 4lbs. weight I use the Biffle Bug DRK WTRMLN / Neon/ Wtrmln Neon and won't give up the use of it I recommend this bait to those anglers that really love the action.
From: Johnny: Orlando, FL
Comments: Picked these up for my Kentucky Lake trip. Caught several, and my best bass of the trip on these. Brought them back to the cold smallmouth waters of northen Michigan and have been consistent on them. I've only used the Biffle Hardhead so far and love how it tumbles over gravel and rock with minimal snags.
From: Arin: MI
Comments: I bought a pack to just try and see what the hype was about. They are good baits. They are very durable and they will catch fish. I bought red bug and have caught some good fish on it. I will buy more colors and try them out. Still waiting to see how good it works when money is on the line.
From: Jake: Montgomery, AL
Comments: This is an awesome fliping and pitching bait. they are a little pricey at 5.00 bucks a bag but well worth it when you flip into a bush and hook into a big fish

Where did the FamilySearch Cook County vital record images go?
Due to a revised contract, FamilySearch has deleted all images for Cook County vital records from its online collection. The free indexes to the collections will remain. The collections being impacted are:
Illinois, Cook County Birth Certificates, 1878-1922
Illinois, Cook County Birth Registers, 1871-1915
Illinois, Cook County Deaths, 1878-1922
Illinois, Cook County Marriages, 1871-1920
There are still several easy ways to obtain copies of the images. The microfilms are available from the Family History Library through their online ordering system. Many of the local Chicago-area Family History Centers have them on permanent loan. Or you can request a digital copy through the Family History Library.
The records can also be purchased directly from the Cook County Genealogy website or via mail from the Cook County Clerk's Office.
There are also independent researchers who offer this service. Several are available through Genlighten.
For more information about Cook County vital records and their availability, see the Newberry Cook County Vital Records Guide.
This isn't all bad news, however. Under the new agreement, FamilySearch will obtain an additional 4.7 million records. It appears that the exact content of these records has not yet been announced.

Nothing happens here, it seems. A field of snow is marked by some trees on the top, a road at the right, clouds, and the intimation of lightening on the horizon. A few vertical scratches indicate grass poking through a crust of snow. But what intensity of observation! The paint wiped around the hill makes the viewer think about the colour white, how it can be made yellow, grey or blue. The trees are nothing but black blobs marking edges, while snow-filled clouds animate the scene, pushed across the sky by winter wind.
In his short career, Bastien-Lepage was famous for naturalistic depictions of peasants, especially girls working in the fields; robust and alive, their figures dominate the scene.1 His land was always under cultivation, sowing or harvest. Here the landscape is beyond human use, made fallow by the season, by the ruthless power of winter. For Bastien-Lepage, the fecundity of agriculture represented France recovering its pride and productivity after the disastrous military defeat by Prussia in 1870. In this work the small village of Damvillers is enshrouded in snow and ice, under a watery sky, but there is a hint of light and hope that prefigures a change of weather and, eventually, of season.
Because he was neither academician nor Impressionist, Bastien-Lepage has been neglected in the analysis of the culture wars that raged in the nineteenth century between conservatives and radicals. Even an apparently subjectless painting like Snow effect, Damvillers may seem progressive because it lacks detail, finish, incident and preferably a moral, all demanded by the Academy. But the artist's observations are not only of the moment, like Monet's Haystacks, midday. The hill is eternal, not simply created by the light in which it is observed: the effects may be fleeting, but the land remains, permanent and solid, underneath the snow.

Entering its third decade of service as a high mileage neutral trainer, the Nike Air Pegasus+ 30 continues to supply the reliable cushioning high mileage runners depend on.
2013 marks the 30th anniversary of Nike's Air Pegasus. As always, Nike's flagship neutral trainer aims to deliver plenty of cushioning in a comfortable and lightweight package.
Changes in this version of the Peg are limited to the upper. While its predecessor featured minimal stitching, the newest version ups the ante with a fully seamless upper to help minimize the risk of blistering. The fit is on the snugger side, though engineered mesh around the toebox is nowhere near constricting, and will fit a variety of foot shapes without issue.
The Peg 30's midsole remains as cushioned as ever, delivering a cloudlike feel especially suited towards runners who pound pavement for miles on end. Though this shoe packs plenty of impact protection, the Peg 30 still manages to remain fairly light on the scale and on the foot.
When the original Nike Pegasus was released back in 1983, it was touted for its "Air Wedge" cushioning and Waffle outsole. And though much has changed in the following three decades, the Nike Air Pegasus+ 30 retains its core values, delivering a great ride to high mileage runners.
"The cushioning feels a touch more responsive compared to the last version, and while the shoe remains soft, I think this update will appeal more to runners who don't like running on marshmallows."
"For a shoe with this much cushioning ,the Pegasus 30 is surprisingly flexible, especially in the forefoot, thanks to the deep flex grooves in the outsole."
"The fit may be slightly lower volume than average, but the lack of overlays around the forefoot allows it to flex easily around the foot for a cozy fit."

Reviews for this host's other properties
Apartment was lovely - clean and well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and main bedroom was roomy. Restaurants and hiking trails close by.
This apartment is very well designed and the owner was very friendly. We spend a very good time in Brugge. I will recommend this apartment. But we had a problem with Wimdu because they gave us a wrong telephone and address and we couldn´t contact with the owner and Windu. Finally we could contact with Interhom and they gave me the right telephone and address. It was a very stressful situation.
We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.
Nice apartment as advertised

Skip to comments.Live Thread: Obama statement on Health law, 11:35.
Posted on 11/14/2013 6:53:12 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
A live thread for the Clown's lies.
See, his poll numbers are in the toilet, so Valerie sends him out.
I predict that he will blame Hillary. HAHA
How long before he declares it's all a dream and millions never actually lost their coverage?
As others have noted, though not as deterministic (at least to the casual observer) and direct as the Laws of Physics, the Laws of Economics are immutable.
What we said was...
"The Picard Maneuver"
Surrender or I will talk at you again.
Obama will say it is Bush's fault! or He will use Hillary's Statement "What difference does it make?"
"Let me be clear..."
"There are those that say..."
Is it even legal or Constitutional for the President alone,to make changes to what we have been told is "settled law"?
11:35....so if I turn on the tv at noon he should be on at any moment...
Just more rope a dope:
Either he comes out with some statement he would back a change in the law making individuals be able to stay on their current plan (those plans are gone, not coming back and this is just a diversion) or
he says everything is under control, the exchanges will be up and running (has nothing to do with the underlying law which needs be repealed totally).
Either way, it avoids the issue, the law sucks.
Please let the teleprompter break down and leave him speechless.
Barry can't talk his way out of this one. But I hear the bus has some new tires.
If you don't like your law, you can keep it moment! O turd has been away from the screens for a few days, not even a mention in the local paper today about him which is unusual. He must have been huddled up with his puppet masters all day yesterday looking at focus groups and framing how he is going to lie today while avoiding any comment about how he liked last week, last month, last year and back to when he forged his birth certificate.
He is going to set the table for some kind of CYA temp subsidy fix they undoubtedly are working on. Dems just make stuff up when they "lose". So pencil in a few hundred billion more to his 7 trillion in debt.
Fox supposedly said Nancy Pelosi said he will offer a fix for the people losing their coverage...
Odd time?
11:35 And some of those with understanding shall fall, to test them, and to refine them, and to make them white, until the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed:
Barry cant talk his way out of this one. But I hear the bus has some new tires.
Sure he can. Barry will just open the candy store to get the Dems through 2014. BOHICA. And the GOP won't do a darn thing about it.
When the historians write the history of this moment, they'll be thanking the TEA Party for standing up and fighting for America.
King Obama to announce his latest Imperial Edict, free from that nasty Congressional approval thingy...
When we said what we said was, what we said, was...
It will be interesting to see if the Obama fix requires any Congressional approval or will he continue to run Obamacare by diktat?
Must be good to do now rather than wait 'till Fri after Rush is over, though the 'rat 'critters did give Bammy an ultimatum with Today as the effective deadline.
Right before RUSH starts ... haha
That would be great.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Barack Obama will offer a fix to Obamacare problems as soon as today.
I think it can be done administratively. The president will offer a proposal today, is my understanding, Pelosi said at the World Ideas Forum, hosted by The Atlantic.
Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/nancy-pelosi-obamacare-problems-99859.html#ixzz2kdHdOqoZ
The ACA has hundreds of "The Secretary (HHS) shall".
Obama's Administrative change will be jail time for not signing up.
(Just kidding) maybe.
Else it's uh, uh, uh, uh....
The boy can sure read a good speech, but he's a bumbling idiot when he tries to free-style without his crutch teleprompter.
"Let me be clear..."
The Kenyan will declare some sort of "emergency" and print a couple hundred billion dollars to massively subsidize the new plans. The GOP won't do a thing about it except tell us to wait for the next election.
The House of Cards is about to collapse.
Oh Man, that is exactly what I was thinking.
More lies, coming right up!
He will not budge an inch until his bells are in a sling. He may not even budge then.
The dumbos are in such a pile o' crap and it's going to get worse as the implosion becomes apparent next month.
Free beer and pot;Free rice and beans; Free birth control and diapers-problem solved.
Obama, deep in a hole on the health care law, asks for a shovel.
"As of 12 noon I am now fully in charge. The ACA is now repealed. Congress may adjourn indefinitely. Single payor is the only way forward, as only the beneficent government can save you from the ravaging forces of the private sector and the selfish CEO's of the insurance industry who put us in this mess."
This is a good thing. Every time Obama addresses the nation, his pole numbers actually go down. He seems to do well when his audience is hand picked, screened, frisked and had prior lobotomies. But every time dear leader fires up the teleprompter, he seems to piss people off.
Maybe he'll tell us, "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski."
That would certainly change the news cycle for him. And it might be the first time he's told the truth in a while. And it might put some heat on Bill Clinton. Hell, they should hire me for Obama's political strategist. Now that I think about it. This is brilliant. He can't do much worse.
I can not listen to his continued lies. He makes me I'll.
Oh, Zero will claim that he can. And turn it back into an aquarium that's not the kind of substandard aquarium that was there before Obamacare, too. (Or he could, if it just weren't for those Wascally Wepubwicans).
But he can't now.
I can't watch him. I reflexively vomit at the sound of his voice. It's not pretty.
I have been unable to understand all the executive changes our "monarch" has been able to make to this law without congressional approval starting with all the waivers, then the employer delay, now this.
why does congress let this POTUS continuously violate our constitution by executive fiat?
So sorry... can't attend. Since my vacuum cleaner broke, I have to pick the doggie hairs out of my carpet by hand, so i will be otherwise engaged.
Today is likely the result of the democrats that went whining to their master about the election beatings they are getting ready for.
He'll probably include an apology for the stupid peasants who misunderstood what he said (over and over again) about being able to keep their insurance, doctors and lowering premiums.
We all know that Obama will begin his remarks today with a laundry list of all the benefits of Obamacare. He will tout the cost reductions, preexisting conditions elimination, children under 26 on their parents' policy, etc. I have no doubt he will extoll the fact that almost 400,000 have signed up for Medicaid.
Obama is coming out today to short-circuit Congress acting tomorrow. It will be Obama-dictated administrative changes, which are illegal and unconstitutional, but no one in Congress has the guts to initiate impeachment hearings against him.
I just read on a story from Drudge that Pelosi says this will be an "administrative fix" because many democrats support a "legislative fix". What is an administrative fix?

Chapter 7
Stephen recounts the history of Israel and names Moses as a prototype of Christ—He testifies of the apostasy in Israel—He sees Jesus on the right hand of God—Stephen's testimony is rejected, and he is stoned to death.

A lot of people have strong opinions about what they perceive as overrated beers.
I won't go into what I've read over the years, because the list is far too long. What you don't hear too much talk about is underrated beers. These are the beers that may take up a small market share in a region, or maybe get passed over because they only come in bombers, and not six, or 12 packs.
Here is my very small list of some of the underrated beers, and breweries in the area:
1. Sebago Brewing Company. I had my first experience with them about 3 years ago in Maine. It was a Double IPA, and it was amazing. I only had one of them, because at 8 percent its big beer, but boy is it a great beer. I found them later in a 12 pack, and I can't think of single beer in that twelve that was only ok. Everything was really good.
2. Berkshire Brewing Company. I have never had a bad beer from them. Their Hefeweizen is one of the best American Hefs I've ever had, and I look forward to it coming out every year. Plus, their Steel Rail is one of the best signature beers of any breweries.3. Ipswich Brewing Company. Their Oatmeal Stout is their best beer, and if its on tap I get it. There other beers are good too, and I've never been disappointed by them,4. Red Hook Brewing Company. I like there stuff, but I tend to pass over it for some reason. May be their packaging looks too commercial, or something, but when I do get it its always good. Their ESB is their best beer in my opinion.So, let me know what you think are underrated beers. No opinion is wrong, and I always love to know about what people think of beer.

Life's Been Good To Mary Wilson
There could not be a better title for an inspiring song or album than original and founding Supremes member Mary Wilson has for her current single and upcoming album than "Life's Been Good To Me."
Coming out of the housing projects in Detroit and signing a record deal with prominent black owned record label Motown as a teenager as a member of the legendary Supremes, Miss Wilson's life has lived out a fairytale story. We all know that fairytales also have moments of disappointment and sorrow along the way, and Wilson's life story is no different.
With The Supremes amassing 12 #1 and 30 Top 40 pop singles, you would think that Wilson would have had the confidence to embark upon a solo career as did group mate Diana Ross, but to the contrary, Miss Wilson had a lack of confidence in her singing and performing talents which led her to continue with The Supremes as its leader for another seven years after Ross' departure.
With heartbreaks and disappoints, (including the disbandment of The Supremes in 1977; the legal battles surrounding the use of the group name, the exclusion from The Supremes reunion tour; and her struggle to find a niche as a performer), Mary Wilson has managed to stay atop the mountain. Since the Supremes have disbanded, she's written two best selling autobiographies ("Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme" and "Supreme Faith: Someday We'll be Together")' and is leading the fight in the establishment of The Truth in Music Laws protecting musical groups identities. She is also keeping the Supremes brand alive for new generations through touring a gown collection; and is now paying homage to the late, great Lena Horne in performance.
Her Destiny
BeBe: What do you think you would have done if you weren't a singer? We know you've authored couple of great books ( autobiographies, Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme and Supreme Faith: Someday We'll Be Together), but what else would you have done had you not become a singer?
Mary Wilson: I can say the things that I enjoyed. I wanted to be a dancer and do ballet. I wanted to be a teacher. I've always thought I was a great philosopher. I've always thought had I gone to college I would have studied that (philosophy) or teaching. But I actually do all of that now, but in a different form.
BeBe: I was going to say that I think you do all of that now. And, you wear that hat well. When I think of you, Mary Wilson, I think of you as a person put on this Earth for a reason. You have been able to continue to teach by example for the last 53-odd years.
Mary Wilson: Yeah, I look at myself now and go like, wow, I did become a teacher, but not in school. Singing has enabled me to do a lot of things that I've consciously kind of thought that I would do like the teaching. I dance in my act. I move really well. So, I look now, and wow, I'm doing that. I didn't plan it.
BeBe: You couldn't plan it because it was a part of your destiny.
Mary Wilson: I think so. I followed the course of my life not by saying this is what I'm going to do but just by enjoying it. I've enjoyed the journey. Most people try and go for the gold, and I've always gone for the journey. That has kept me on a course that now, and only now, that I see all the pieces of the puzzle are put together pretty nicely.
A Solo Career
BeBe: Now, Mary, 1970 was the year that Diana Ross left The Supremes to pursue her solo career, and you, of course, became the matriarch of the group as it went forward for the next seven years. But in 1970 when Diana left, was there any thought given to you pursuing a solo career at that time and not going on with The Supremes?
Mary Wilson: First, when Florence (Ballard) left, and then Diane (Diana Ross' birth name) left, I was sort of alone. I was all alone (with laughter)! The other pieces of my perfect life were no longer there, and I had to look at myself for a second and say "whoa" I love this. Everyone else is gone, but I'm gonna stay. I hadn't finished out my dream. No, I never thought about stopping, not even for a day. But, it was very scary.
The next seven years with Jean (Terrell), Cindy (Birdsong), and then of course, Lynda (Laurence), Scherrie (Payne) and Susaye (Green), I went through that period mainly to discover who I was as a singer and performer. I kind of used that time to put myself where I needed to be. I knew I didn't want to leave the stage, so I had to learn. That was my learning period. Then after that, I was then able to go out on my own. That was very scary because I didn't know if I had the talent to do it (be a solo artist). I knew I had to learn to do it, but I didn't know if I had the real talent to carry it off. And, eventually I did. Only now have I reached a point with my jazz work and my Lena Horne tribute show have I finally found my niche.
BeBe: It took you a few years, but you got it now!
Mary Wilson: (Laughing) I've always said that I was a turtle (taking my time).
Who is Mary?
BeBe: What defines Mary Wilson? Who am I as a solo performer? It's kind of the same thing as being apart of a large family. You've always had those brothers and sisters around you, and then one day you've got to fly on your own, and you're not used to that.
Mary Wilson: Unless you have the great talent that is right there. Mine was not defined. I knew that I sang ballads well, because as a Supreme, I always sang the ballads. I knew I did that well, but I didn't know if it was good enough. It took me little while to say, 'okay, I can do this and it's good enough.'
BeBe: One thing I remember and wanted to talk about was when the "Dreamgirls" film came out in 2007, I remember you being involved with the promotional tour for that film. There was Mary Wilson popping up with the stars of the movie at various promotional stops. In my mind, I thought it may have represented a stamp of approval from you since so many have said that "Dreamgirls" story was loosely based on The Supremes. Was that what was going on there?
Mary Wilson: That totally was not the way it was. And, I'm not defending myself. What I'm saying is that everyone was taking our (The Supremes') credit, taking our history, taking our legacy, taking everything that pretty soon the brand becomes bigger than the individual. So, this was my way.......because every night that I'm on stage I will be the first one to say that that ("Dreamgirls") is NOT the story of The Supremes, however, I had to take back my identity because if I don't the brand becomes so big and I'm left out of the equation.
My book "Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme" was another way of me taking back me. Because people were saying this ("Dreamgirls") is the story of The Supremes, no it's NOT the story of The Supremes, so I named my book that so no one could take me out of the equation. So that and me hosting the premiere in Hollywood for the movie was my way of not letting the movie become bigger than I am. I'm one of the key players. I put myself right in the middle of it so I'm never ever lost in terms of people taking my history and leaving me so I become nothing. You can either say that is not the story, and of course half of the people are going to hate you for saying that, or you can do as I did which was to get right in the middle of it. I'm always in the thing, no matter what they do, no matter what they take away from me, they can't take away me!
Back to SF
BeBe: Well, you will be returning to San Francisco December 10th to once again participate along with Bruce Vilanch, Spencer Day, X Factor contestant Jason Brock and others in the "Help Is on the Way" concert benefit for the Richmond/Ermet Aids Foundation. One thing I wanted to ask in relation to this benefit is as a prevalent performer in the late 70s and early 80s when the then unnamed AIDS epidemic began, how did this disease affect you personally?
Mary Wilson: As we first started recognizing AIDS as AIDS, many of my friends in the arts were passing. We were trying to figure out what the heck is going on! We had a lot of candlelight services in Los Angeles, at the time I was living in Hollywood, and it was when I was apart f one these candlelight outdoor services that it was an awakening because I thought oh my God my best friends are dying! That's how I really got involved because it touched home. I'm sure most people in the arts are apart of the fight because it is our community that's dying.
BeBe: And then, the new single, "Life's Been Good To Me".
Mary Wilson: Yes, "Life's Been Good To Me" is on iTunes and Amazon. I want people to get their radio stations to play it.
BeBe: The people got to call and request it. That's right because you know how it is these days. It's all about the coins passing hands before they put something on the radio. But the public does have the power to tell radio stations what they want to hear. The radio stations shouldn't dictate what we hear, we should be telling them what we want to hear.
Mary Wilson: That's why I'm asking everyone to call their favorite radio stations and ask them to play this record because you know what, it's one of the best recordings I've ever done. It's an inspirational record, it's moving but it is also current and I sound GREAT!
BeBe: Ain't nobody ever going to forget Miss Mary Wilson. Ain't no how or no way. Let me tell you that! That leads right into the next thing that is, you hear a lot about the piracy laws not being enforce so well. But one thing that you have done, which I just became aware of, is get involved with the passage of preventing people from creating tribute or imposter groups from using the names of the originating group, again a way of maintaining ones identity. Over half of the States now have laws on the books preventing this type of identity left. Can you tell me a bit more about this?
Mary Wilson: Yes, it's called The Truth in Music Law. Along with many 50s and 60s groups, we have had our identities stolen in terms of our monikers, our names....The Drifters, The Supremes, The Temptations....people are going out as those groups. We got together in a grass roots movement and got some laws passed so that now we don't have to spend our own money in trying to sue these people. Now, there are laws and if they break them, if there is not one original member in the group they cannot use these names. We didn't have record companies to fight for us anymore. I've had to use my own money to fight these people. I don't have the money anymore to fight those people. I've lost millions of dollars in court. One of the things we wanted to do with this movement is to make people aware that this is happening. Just because you hear the group name, make sure the right people are in that group. The music is so big, people will just go see them. Now, people are aware, and I was one of the key people to change those laws. If you can understand this, you can understand how the movies, the "Dreamgirls", the "Sparkles", get away with stealing our identities.
Original and founding member of The Supremes Mary Wilson will join Bruce Vilanch, Spencer Day, X Factor's Jason Brock, Tim Hockenberry, Paula West, Connie Champagne, and the casts of "The Book of Mormon" and Disney's "The Lion King" to perform in Help Is On The Way For The Holidays XI the Holiday Gala and Benefit for The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation on December 10th at the Marine's Memorial Theater in San Francisco. For tickets and more information go to HYPERLINK "http://www.HelpIsOnTheWay.org/"www.HelpIsOnTheWay.org
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

PHA Office Volunteer; Advocacy Volunteer
Six years ago, when Conchita Watson began suffering from shortness of breath and coughing, she wouldn't have imagined herself involved in politics and volunteerism the way she is today. But since her PH diagnosis three years ago, she has taken those principles to heart. Conchita is one of the PH community's most active representatives — both on Capitol Hill and in her hometown.
Her dedication to the community and genuine interest in PH patients inspired Conchita to be a representative at a major press briefing at the nation's Capitol in June 2005, during which she stood as a patient with PH secondary to blood clots, and a patient in the D.C. metropolitan area. She has made a special effort to return to the Capitol on numerous occasions to participate in PHA's Congressional lobbying events and luncheons.
While Conchita keeps busy encouraging Congress to act on behalf of PH patients, she never takes her eyes off her community. Conchita is a regular at PHA's Office Volunteer Nights, where she helps staff with a variety of patient-support projects. She frequently attends meetings of the several Mid-Atlantic area support groups and makes the trip to attend PHA's International Conferences. In her own neighborhood, Conchita "spreads the gospel" of PH awareness everywhere she goes — even at church, where she discovered another member of her congregation who has PH.
Conchita's activism in the PH community is having an impact on important policy issues, and her concern for patients is making a difference in the day-to-day lives of so many. Even with her sights on big advocacy goals like insurance coverage, Conchita keeps her feet on the ground and her roots in support groups, where she first became involved in 2003 after returning to Maryland from a thromboarterectomy procedure in San Diego, Calif. The companionship she found at the Johns Hopkins Support Group meeting has continued to propel her activity in the community.
"It's good to meet people and to know their stories,"
she tells us, thinking of the life-long friends she has made over the course of her journey.
"Support groups help a lot."
She continues to attend the Hopkins meeting because of the friendships she's formed there, and also attends the Silver Spring group because it's close to home and she has made fast-friends there as well.
Conchita's involvement in the PH community and with PHA is doing worlds of good — for herself and for the rest of us — and she encourages everyone to become involved in some way.
"You want to learn as much as you can about this disease that you're living with, and you want to be able to give support to other people. It can be lonely."
By getting involved in the PH community and with PHA, Conchita has found the encouragement to make a difference.

Skip to comments.Judge: Obama Admin Can Force Hobby Lobby to Obey HHS Mandate
Posted on 11/20/2012 1:12:51 PM PST by NYer
A federal judge has issued a ruling siding with the Obama administration saying that it has the right to force Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned and run company, to pay for drugs for women that may cause abortions.
The privately held retail chain with more than 500 arts and crafts stores in 41 states filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration over its HHS mandate. The company says it would face $1.3 million in fines on a daily basis starting in January if it fails to comply with the mandate, which requires religious employers to pay for or refer women for abortion-cause drugs that violate their conscience or religious beliefs.
The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and the business says it is opposing the Health and Human Services preventive services mandate, which it says forces the Christian-owned-and-operated business to provide, without co-pay, the morning after pill and week after pill in their health insurance plan, or face crippling fines up to 1.3 million dollars per day.
By being required to make a choice between sacrificing our faith or paying millions of dollars in fines, we essentially must choose which poison pill to swallow, said David Green, Hobby Lobby CEO and founder. We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate.
However, U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton issued a ruling late Monday rejecting Hobby Lobby's request to block the mandate. Judge Heaton said that the company doesn't qualify for an exemption because it is not a church or religious group.
"Plaintiffs have not cited, and the court has not found, any case concluding that secular, for-profit corporations such as Hobby Lobby and Mardel have a constitutional right to the free exercise of religion," the ruling said.
Heaton wrote that "the court is not unsympathetic" to the company's desire to not pay for abortion-causing drugs but he said the Obamacare law
"results in concerns and issues not previously confronted by companies or their owners."
"The question of whether the Greens can establish a free exercise constitutional violation by reason of restrictions or requirements imposed on general business corporations they own or control involves largely uncharted waters," Heaton wrote.
Hobby Lobby plans to appeal the ruling, according to a pro-life legal group that notified LifeNews of the ruling.
"Every American, including family business owners like the Greens, should be free to live and do business according to their religious beliefs," Kyle Duncan, general counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said. We disagree with this decision and we will immediately appeal it."
The court did not question that the Green family has sincere religious beliefs forbidding them from participating in abortion. The court ruled, however, that those beliefs were only indirectly burdened by the mandates requirement that they provide free coverage for specific, abortion-inducing drugs in Hobby Lobbys self-funded insurance plan.
Duncan previously talked about what the Obama administration told the court:
The administrations arguments in this case are shocking. Heres what they are saying: once someone starts a secular business, he categorically loses any right to run that business in accordance with his conscience. The business owner simply leaves her First Amendment rights at home when she goes to work at the business she built. Kosher butchers around the country must be shocked to find that they now run secular businesses. On this view of the world, even a seller of Bibles is secular. Hobby Lobbys affiliate, Mardel, sells Bibles and other Christian-themed material, but because it makes a profit the government has now declared it secular.
The administrations position here while astonishing is actually consistent with its overall view of the place of religion in civil society. After all, this is the administration who argued in the Hosanna-Tabor case last year in the Supreme Court that the religion clauses of the First Amendment offered no special protection to a churchs right to choose its ministers a position that the Court rejected 9-0. This is the administration which has taken to referring to freedom of worship instead of freedom of religion suggesting that religious freedom consists in being free to engage in private rituals and prayers, but not in carrying your religious convictions into public life. And this is the administration who crafted a religious employer exemption to the HHS mandate so narrow that a Catholic charity does not qualify for conscience protection if it serves non-Catholic poor people.
As you point out, the administration is trying to justify its rigid stance against religious business owners by saying otherwise they would become a law unto themselves, and be able to do all sorts of nasty things to their employees like force them to attend Bible studies, or fire them if they denied the divinity of Christ. Nonsense. Hobby Lobby isnt arguing for the right to impose the Greens religion on employees, nor for the right to fire employees of different religions. Theres already a federal law that protects employees from religious discrimination and thats a very good thing. This case is about something entirely different: its about stopping the government from coercing religious business owners. The government wants to fine the Greens if they do not violate their own faith by handing out free abortion drugs, and now its saying they dont even have the right to complain in court about it
Duncan said the onerous provisions of the HHS mandate will hit Hobby Lobby in about two months on January 1, 2013. At that point, it will face the choice of dropping employee health insurance altogether (and paying about $26 million a year in penalties), or continuing its current plan (which will expose it to about $1.3 million in fines per day). So it is not hard to imagine why the Greens felt they had no choice but to go to court.
There are now 40 separate lawsuits challenging the HHS mandate, which is a regulation under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). The Becket Fund led the charge against the unconstitutional HHS mandate, and along with Hobby Lobby represents: Wheaton College, East Texas Baptist University, Houston Baptist University, Belmont Abbey College, Colorado Christian University, the Eternal Word Television Network, and Ave Maria University.
Hobby Lobby is the largest and the biggest non-Catholic-owned business to file a lawsuit against the HHS mandate, focusing sharp criticism on the administrations regulation that forces all companies, regardless of religious conviction, to cover abortion-inducing drugs. It has faced a small boycott from liberals upset that it would challenge the mandate in court.
The Obama admin says there is an exemption in the statute but Duncan says that is not acceptable.
The safe harbors protection is illusory, said Duncan. Even though the government wont make religious colleges pay crippling fines this year, private lawsuits can still be brought, schools are at a competitive disadvantage for hiring and retaining faculty, and employees face the specter of battling chronic conditions without access to affordable care. This mandate puts these religious schools in an impossible position.
Last week, a federal court stopped enforcement of the Obama administrations abortion pill mandate against a Bible publisher which filed a lawsuit against it — the third such victory.
FYI ping!
This is so NOT right. It is so NOT American. I am so disgusted with these activist judges who decide how people want to run their businesses. I guess if the workers wanted the morning after pill they could go work at the Post Office. GET A LIFE, the guy invested his money and time to run a company that is valued based on a belief system, THIS IS AMERICA, land of the free and brave, or at least it was..
I wonder what would happen if Hobby Lobby decided to pursue liquidation over this.
Three victories so far. Keep on fighting, Hobby Lobby.
No, they CAN'T "force" them to comply.
Hobby Lobby can re-arrange their business so that they are not covered by the law. It would be painful to the employees,
but no, 0bama can't force them to do anything.
It's a tax! Of course the government can force us to do anything, It's a tax! the unsupreme court told us so.
It wasn't that long ago that people were defending white only businesses with the same argument. It's time to move on.
So... Am I understanding this right?
Once a person, let's say a Muslim, starts a SECULAR business, lets say a RESTAURANT then he is required to sell me bacon whether he is against it on religious purposes or not?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Every day my utter contempt and hatred for this Marxist POS administration continues to grow.
Ironically, the liberals have backed pro-life business owners into a corner in which all their "clear conscience" options hurt the worker. So much for wanting to help the worker, but we all knew this was really about power and not the worker.
"A federal judge has issued a ruling siding with the Obama administration saying that it has the right to force Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned and run company, to pay for drugs for women that may cause abortions."
Just wait until this guy loads the Federal Courts with his liberal justices. Also, he will throw the balance of the SCOTUS to the far left after appointing two or possibly three justices.
These are scary times . . . real scary times.
What you cited was for back when we was under the Constitution. But thanks to the voters electing and re-electing bastards such as the occupier of the White House, that situation no longer exists.
I am sorry but your comment and your tag line don't match.
"YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!!!!" - President Barack Hussein (Santa Claus) Obama
If you read the ruling you will find that this is not an activist judge. He correctly states that Obamacare is in uncharted waters and he correctly lays out both positions. As the first judge hearing the case, he knows that he will not be the last judge to hear the case.
However, in my not so humble opinion, the Judge missed the constitution arguments at their heart. In essence, which has higher precedence 1st amendment vs the 17th amendment? Does the right to engage in religious activity or to refrain from abhorrent activity, trump the right of the government to tax? That is the battle and the issue to be decided.
This judge just took the easy way out knowing others will decide the issue.
Remember America, the home of the brave and the land of the free? It is now a totally corrupt cesspool of political operatives, all bought and paid with OUR money.
If a corporation is a "person", then why doesn't it have religious freedom?
IOW, another John Roberts.
Here's hoping people will eventually wake up to the fact that a judge's edict is no substitute for thought, but I'm not holding my breath.
In the meantime, if anyone out thinks that the solution to government tyranny lies with a government institution, I've got a million-dollar gun collection to sell you.
I was hoping HL would have a CFA Moment after hearing about their agreement on homo stuff and being Christian; maybe they can have 1 now? I still haven't visited our new 1, but will soon.
The Communists (Liberal Democrat Socialists) aren't satisfied until they strong arm everyone into participating with them in their ungodliness and perversions.
Its the mark of the beast.
The only "Rights" you have are those that are consistent with The Socialist Agenda, and moreso if you are a "Protected Class" identified by them. That includes Blacks, Illegals, women who give away their bodies and get knocked up, etc.
We have seen the End of the America we knew, and there's no turning back until Rebellion or Civil War restores this Country.
That should be the case but when you have a muslim/socialist/communist in charge, who make the rules as he goes, with the total media in his pocket, perhaps the rules will apply to all except muslims.
A eunoch Judge decides in favor of Obamacare.
Wyatt's Torch.
Yep, exactly.
It would have been just as easy for the Judge to say "I find no precedence for any law to force individuals to violate their religious beliefs in the work place. In fact, the totality of the record supports the right of the individual to not engage in supporting activities they find offensive."
We hold these Truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Not 'from their King,' not from 'the man who WOULD be King,' not by the self-appointed HE who dishes out and takes back OUR rights.
Obama makes me vomit.
Remember America, the home of the brave and the land of the free? It is now a totally corrupt cesspool of political operatives, all bought and paid with OUR money.
And in the words of my Dad - Normandy Vet - recently deceased —
This is not the America I and many others fought and died for......
Yeah, and it wasn't that long ago that people were warning not to crush the racists with the force of law or there would be hell to pay somewhere down the line...welcome to somewhere down the line.
Move on my @$$! Religious freedom is one of the cornerstones of a free society. I for one will not accept the HHS mandate or any other law requiring me to pay for someone else's abortions or contraceptives. I fail to see what relevance questions of racial discrimination have to the issue at hand.
Nice bit of equivocating there, Donnie.
Would you be as incensed if this business owner was a Jehovah's Witness and required to offer health insurance policies to his employees that covered blood transfusions?
Judge: Obama Admin Can Force Hobby Lobby to Obey HHS Mandate
Actually they Obama can't.
This company is free to close their doors tomorrow. They are free to reduce the number of employees to below the threshold number or their hours below the threshold number.
In the end Obamacare is just a destroyer.
A private business is just that, a PRIVATE business. If I owned my own business I should be able to run it how I see fit. If that means NOT supplying contraceptives in the insurance coverage so be it. If that means I want to serve whites only, so be it. People have the right NOT to work for me or frequent my business.
(It wasnt that long ago that people were defending white only businesses with the same argument. Its time to move on.)
And it is NEVER time to move on from freedom and liberty!
...as in MoveOn.org ?
What are you doing here on FRee Republic?
and Atlas Shrugged
There goes religious freedom.
I would not comply with this.
As a VietNam vet who had 5 dead Americans on the tailgate of my APC during TET 1968 while still in hostile contact with the enemy, I feel the same way.
Since when is it the government's job to make it illegal to offer certain kinds of health insurance policies? If the employee doesn't like the health insurance policy offered, just as if they don't like the salary or vacation hours offered, they're free to work somewhere else.
What if the government required all health insurance policies to cover female circumcision as an option for girls? Would you be okay with that?
what is going to happen is that those that have lower end jobs, will end up working 29 hours or less a week to keep the employer from paying for the health care cost.
we will people working at least two jobs to be able to support themselves without benefits.
alot of these businesses will have more employees working for the same hours available.
business owners are logical. politicians are not.
blessings, bobo
Those corporations shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against everyone else by operating a segment of their business according to religious standards and not tailoring other plans for other religions.
I am shrugging next year when I shut down 40 years of a family business that obama killed. I am John Galt.
Nice dodge.
The whole point of the article is the First Amendment angle. Is there no limit to your First Amendment rights when they start adversely affecting the lives of other people?
I don't think that anyone ever tried to defend a whites only hiring policy on the basis of religious conscience. Actually the most egregious example of a whites only hiring policy was the Electrical Workers and Machinist Union and I don't think that they claimed any religious exemption.
Remember, the racists were mostly Democrats.
