In the garden
Planting perennials
By Patty Campbell, Special to the Citizen 09/27/12
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside.
"Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs."
"Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them."
Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring.
"Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring."
Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often.
In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds.
"Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand.
"Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage."
Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn.
"Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet."
In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials.
Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season.
Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter.
"Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs."
Democrat VanValkenburg kicks off Gen. Assembly campaign
By Holly Speck and Hannah Matheson, Capital News Service 02/24/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
Senior students at Glen Allen High School will get a personal touch when studying elections with their AP government teacher.
That teacher, Schuyler VanValkenburg, recently announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for the 72nd District seat in the House of Delegates. If he earns the nomination, he will run against Del. Jimmie Massie, R-Henrico, who has been unopposed for 10 years.
VanValkenburg, a 2004 University of Richmond alumnus who majored in history, is running for office for the first time. Although he has lived in Richmond since he began his undergraduate studies, aside from one year spent in Seattle, he said he never felt it was his time to run. > Read more.

ACLU urges McAuliffe to veto anti-immigration bills
By Rodrigo Arriaza and Maura Mazurowski, Capital News Service 02/24/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union called on Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Wednesday to veto Republican-backed legislation banning local governments in Virginia from designating themselves as sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants. They also said they plan to fight federal and state policies that they believe violate immigrants' rights.
At a news conference, representatives of the ACLU of Virginia and other civil rights organizations criticized anti-immigrant measures passed by the General Assembly. They also condemned the recent spike in deportation raids on immigrant communities in Virginia by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as President Donald Trump's recent executive order banning immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. > Read more.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

Edward J. Richardson will become the sixth executive director in the 160-year history of the 200,000-member New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), following his June 14 appointment by the NJEA Executive Committee.
Richardson, 51, an NJEA staff member for the past 19 years, will succeed current Executive Director Vincent E. Giordano on Dec. 1, when Giordano retires after a 43-year NJEA career.
"Ed Richardson brings an impressive and diverse set of skills to this demanding position," said Giordano. "NJEA members know he will work closely with our elected leaders and staff to represent them well, and to advocate for their interests in a time of great change in public education. I'm looking forward to working closely with Ed over the next several months to help him prepare for the challenges ahead."
Richardson will join NJEA President-elect Wendell Steinhauer to take NJEA's leadership team into the new school year. He will manage NJEA's 265-member staff in its Trenton headquarters and 22 statewide regional offices. Steinhauer will succeed outgoing President Barbara Keshishian on Sept. 1.
"This is an enormously important time in the history of public education," said Richardson. "Its very future is being threatened by a national corporate reform movement that too often ignores valid research in its quest to privatize and standardize America's unique tradition of universal, free public education.
"NJEA members are eager to take leadership in their schools," he said. "That starts with implementing research-based practices and approaches that will improve student achievement and lead to lifelong learning, and we know parents agree. Standardized tests have legitimate diagnostic value, but all accepted research tells us they are not reliable indicators of teacher effectiveness, because too many non-school factors affect student test scores," said Richardson.
"I know that teachers and school employees want their voices to be a stronger presence in creating the excellent schools that parents want, and students deserve," he said. "Achieving that presence is a top organizational priority."
Richardson joined the NJEA staff in 1994 as an associate director for public relations, following seven years of state educational policy work. He was the public information officer, speechwriter, legislative liaison, and director of communications for the state commissioners of education from 1986-93, and served as education policy advisor to Gov. James Florio from 1993-94.
Upon joining NJEA, he worked in public relations and media relations, representing NJEA in various coalitions and overseeing NJEA's many external partnerships with corporations, sports teams, and foundations. In 2005, he joined the NJEA management team as human resources manager, in which capacity he has served the needs of NJEA's professional and associate staff.
Richardson is a native of Cedar Grove, NJ, where he attended public schools, K-12. He earned his bachelor's degree in journalism from Michigan State University, and completed all three levels of the Certified Public Manager Program through Rutgers University and the State of New Jersey.

Third-ranked Cherry Creek contained Douglas County's heralded back Trey Smith but that's about all the mistake-prone Bruins did right against the Huskies.
Douglas County trailed 3-0 in the final minute of the second quarter but reeled off 23 unanswered points to upset the Bruins, 23-10, in an early-season showdown between unbeaten teams Sept. 16 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village.
The game was originally scheduled for Sept. 12 but was postponed because the Cherry Creek school district canceled activities due to the heavy rains.
"I was a little disappointed we didn't get to play on Thursday," said Huskies coach Jeff Ketron. "I thought we were ready, I thought our kids were focused. Then I saw something when we were practicing Friday. We brought them in Saturday at 6 o'clock in the morning. It was foggy and we had to turn the lights on. I just saw something in this team that I haven't seen."
He liked what he saw against Cherry Creek as Douglas County improved to 3-0 in the first of three games in 11 days. The Huskies play Rocky Mountain Sept. 20 and open Continental League play Sept. 26 against Mountain Vista.
Smith, who came into the game averaging 293.5 all-purpose yards a game, gained 21 yards on 11 carries and scored once. He also caught one pass for six yards and had an interception.
The Huskies had plenty of other players stand out, including junior defensive end Tomatea Barlett, whose parents are from New Zealand. He was in on six quarterback sacks and deflected a pass.
Barlett, CJ Briggs and Devin Jackson were the leaders of a pass rush that kept heavy pressure on Creek quarterbacks Cameron Brucher and Nate Sweeney most of the game. Austin Newsome and Daniel Brown led the Huskies' defense with 13 and 11 tackles.
"He's a rugby kid who took up football," Ketron said of Barlett. "Our defensive line has some great speed. They are a little bit light but those kids can motor. They're just tough kids."
Creek's two quarterbacks combined to pass for 209 yards but felt pressure on almost every attempt.
"They had a good passing game and our DL knew to disrupt that we had to get pressure," said Barlett. "Our coach says O lines and D lines win games.
"The game was a highlight for me, I've never beaten Creek before, not even as a youth. Yeah, I'll be talking about this for a long time. Just seeing the smiles on all the guy's faces was one of the coolest things ever."
Cherry Creek, averaging 30.5 points in its first two games, and Douglas County, which averaged 45 points in two victories, struggled to a 3-3 halftime tie.
A 29-yard field goal by Henry Lynn pushed Creek ahead 3-0 with 55 seconds left before halftime but the Huskies, behind the passing of quarterback Rope Ruel, drove to the Creek 19, where Wyatt Bryant missed a 34-yard field goal attempt.
However, a roughing-the-kicker penalty was called on Creek, and Bryant connected on a 29-yard field goal on the final play of the half.
Cherry Creek, which outgained the Huskies 320-225 in total offense, had 13 penalties for 105 yards during the game. The Bruins also had three turnovers, which led to 13 Huskies points.
Creek, behind the running of Milo Hall, who finished with 148 rushing on 23 carries, took the second half kickoff and moved to the Huskies 29-yard line but Brucker fumbled while scrambling for yardage.
Newsome picked up the fumble and ran to the Creek 2-yard line. Smith scored on the next play and the momentum had switched to the visitors.
Bryan hit on field goals of 31 and 44 yards and Ruel scored on a 30-yard run as Douglas County went ahead 23-3 before Creek scored a touchdown with 12 seconds left in the game.
"When you look at Trey's overall carries in games one and two, he only had 12 and 14 carries," Ketron said of Smith, who has verbally committed to play at Colorado State. "We try to keep balance. We try to spread it out on offense and against Creek we had to depend on some other people. I knew we could do it."
Cherry Creek will try to rebound Sept. 20 on the road against Denver East.

Classic Fifteen Puzzle is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BAS from Maddening, but FUN I haven't seen one of these in almost 50 years and have had several. I used to be quite good at solving this puzzle, but admit I am rusty from not practicing. I carry it in my pocket (just like I did the younger versions) and convince myself while waiting for an appointment, I am doing something "constructive" with my time. I am occupying my mind which actually is important. Other people have asked me what it is. I demonstrate and I usually hear, "Oh. I had one of these as a kid. I didn't know they made them anymore." So- I advertise for the Vermont Country Store where one can find anything. I also confess to still having the old Rubik's cube.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Glory from Going Home Who says that you can't go home again? Every autumn without fail, my husband and I travel to Vermont...and every year we make sure that we stop at the Vermont Country Store in Weston. It always becomes a stop that easily lasts a few hours, for it's not just a store to us, but a definitive step back in time. We fill up small bags of 'penny' candy, always notating which were our favorites when we were growing up. We reminisce about our parents' and grandparents' homes as we pick up items that haven't touched our hands in years. Last year, we decided to give our grandsons, ages 7 & 10, gifts only from the Vermont Country Store. We always have especially enjoyed the toys on display. It has been a virtual time machine for us as we envision our carefree, youthful days with the exact same toys. Our grandsons were enthralled with all of what we purchased and seemed to appreciate the simpler art of the item versus the high technology that they are so used to. One of the purchases was the Classic Fifteen Puzzle for both of them. It was a staple throughout my own childhood. I spent endless hours curled up in a chair with one. Just a couple of weeks ago, almost a year later, I was bringing them to school. The 11-yr. old seemed transfixed by something. I asked, "whatcha have?" He held up his puzzle and said, "I love this...I carry it everywhere with me". I wasn't even aware of this. I smiled, realizing that it had become his staple as well, and that someday he would visit the Vermont Country Store and reminisce about the same childhood memories as myself. In the words of Bob Hope..."thanks for the memories".

Soft sculpture
open 24 April – 12 July 2009
Soft sculpture looks at the ways artists use unconventional materials to challenge the nature of sculpture. Visitors will see works made from cloth, rope, paper, hair, leather, rubber or vinyl. The objects may droop, ooze or splash. They are fluffy, squishy or bent. They surround, suffocate and astonish and, in many cases, make us laugh.
The exhibition features treasures from the national collection, complemented by some loans. It includes sculptures and installations by Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Joseph Beuys and Annette Messager, and works by Australian artists such as Mikala Dwyer, David Jensz and Ricky Swallow.

Why are women always Single White Femaling each other? Get your own identity, and get a f-ing life.ReplyCancel
10 at least per week x 280 days each year x 10 years at least = 2800 total. Enty you are being optimistic hunReplyCancel
Some calcul error: I say around 2000..ReplyCancel

Didn't she do Jude Law too?ReplyCancel

LiLo is careless with her self, her family/friends, & her possessions…
She also seems to think because she sees someone a few times at the same club or is in rehab or whatever else they are her friend…when really they are using her & she shouldn't blab her life story to them.ReplyCancel
Don't know what Lindsay is trying to pull here, but there's some real bs in her list. Zac and Franco? Really doubt it. But I'll bet her true number, celebs and regular folk combined, would make Xaviera Hollander blush. It's got to be well into the hundreds.
MsReilly is probably right in that Lindsay wants to be compared to Marilyn …… both are/were lousy actresses so she's got that going for her. Maybe Obama or the next president will have her wacked. Then she will have two things in common with Marilyn.ReplyCancel
I'd be so ashamed if I were one of these guys & it was now public knowledge. Then again if you do the deed then you have to live with the consequences.
Handy list though for everyone else to now know who to avoid in future. Paris Hilton should release a list of all those she slept with too. Public service to everyone so we know who to avoid.ReplyCancel
Maybe Lindsay was just bsing to friends, showing off with fake entries to show how "Hollywood" she is. Somehow it ends up in someone else's hands.ReplyCancel
TARA! LOL! I never noticed that. Someone probably attempted to play it with her not acknowledging she simply does not have the attention span to play a board game and wanted to talk about her sex-life instead lol/ReplyCancel
Three random thoughts. Firstly, it depends when she was with them. Up til twenty, and no I don't want to speculate on a starting age, she was a reasonably cute starlet with promise of a future career. So guys who knew her, in the biblical sense, before then weren't complete writeoffs. Anyone who knew her since then can be correctly classified as douches. Secondly, supposedly the blanked out names are married/long term relationships. While I agree that would reflect poorly on LiLo we should acknowledge that the guys displayed equally bad behavior. Thirdly, back in the days when people actually believed LiLo could/would/wanted to turn around her behavior, the recurring theme was that she absolutely couldn't stand to be alone. I will let you do your own analysis of her childhood. So have a little sympathy that her headcount may be less sexual wantonness and more the cost to be paid to ensure someone will stay the night.ReplyCancel
Lohag actually has very neat handwriting. Anyone remember the notes she was writing to Shawn Holley in one of her court appearances? It looked like she was an engineer. Seriously surprised the hell outta me. Or ooota me as TTM would say. Speaking of…where's our Canuklehead Princess today?ReplyCancel
Ahhh… Slut shaming at its finest.
Not the kind of choice I would make, but she is her own person and if she chooses to screw 10 or 10000 that is up to her. They participated as well, so why aren't their lists out??
Just think of how many people have their "laminated list" of celebs they would get a pass from their SO on. She just has access to them.
I'd just like to know which of the blurred out ones are married and desperate for it not to get out!ReplyCancel
Why is Garrett Hedlund's name on there? Shouldn't it be "The Boyfriend of Kirsten Dunst"?
(I refuse to believe that the amazing Heather Ledger ever went anywhere near Thunder Crotch.)ReplyCancel
When looking for answers for yesteday's blind, I check "whos dated who" and think it adds a lot to the list. I'm sure one of the blocked names is Ben Affleck.
From what I had heard from a few sources is that Heath was hooking up with one of the Olsen Twins…they are supposed to have the best coke…& it was confirmed his maid called one of the Olsen Twins first, but he could have hooked up with Linds…LiLo seemed to have the same sort of affliction Brit had, believe the crap lines male actors feed them to get in their panties & start fantazing that it's TRU LUV & they will become a great HW power couple, etc…ReplyCancel
@7of11-Garrett hooks up with all his female co-stars, he hooked with with Leighton, then cheated on her with KScrew, Leighton dumpted him, he then hooked up with KiKi, which is another of the many reasons why Kiki & Kscrew hate each other, KiKi is as big of a lush as him, so they are currently still together or at least until she finds out when he cheats againReplyCancel
Oopsy: Women invented slut shaming. They just blame it on the patriarchy to help em sleep at night.ReplyCancel
I wish my handwriting was that neat.ReplyCancel
@Oopsy Daisy and I are on the same wavelength. There's a lot to criticize in Lilo's life, but she's in her 20s and cute, so hells bells, so what if she sleeps around a lot? My number for that age is up there (and I'm 58 now, so don't even ask.) It's not who you do or how many you do, it's how you live.ReplyCancel
@Count – No doubt. But it doesn't change the fact that people are far too interested in guffawing over a woman's number of conquests. We do still live in an age where a man is a stud and a woman is a slut if they have multiple partners or hell, in some areas, sex before marriage.ReplyCancel
She doesn't even know how to spell their names.ReplyCancel
No shaming here. My list is way longer. I mean I don't actually HAVE a list since that seems really juvenile, but it would be way longer than this. It's not like she's 18. She's had a lot of time to rack those up, and she's been single a lot.
The married/relationship guys she's hooked up with is mostly on them, imo. But not very surprising for Hollyweird.ReplyCancel
I'm Surprised at Heath Ledger. I would have thought he was a little more discriminating.ReplyCancel
What the hell, where's the rating system!ReplyCancel
@Molls-it's a game sheet from ScategoriesReplyCancel
add Bruce Willis and Warren Beaty.ReplyCancel
#stuntqueen yeah, because we ALL carry that kind of paper around with us…ReplyCancel
Starf@cking works both ways. Adding LL to your list makes for a great anecdote later on down the road. Just don't make a habit of it & for God's sake use protection!ReplyCancel
Milton Berle – do you mean Milton Bradley? Although Berle was known to be hung like a horse.ReplyCancel
Liho wishes she was that fresh! 36, doesn't include her paid dates, all the arabs and europeans, all the women which must be in the hundreds by now, she was deep in that scene when she moved out here as a teen. Never mind all those "favors" she calls in for jets, hotel stays, cars, and houses. 36 sounds like a slow month for liho.ReplyCancel
I do agree with what you're saying, but I think / hope the tide is turning. It's not as though John Mayer or DiCaprio are revered for their ways,… didn't Scorsese pull Leo aside recently and tell him he stood no chance of an oscar while his notorious private life was such a laughing point? Can't remember if that was on here or in a magazine. Hopefully we're getting there slowly but surely : )ReplyCancel
I know I'll be accused of being a pearl-clutching old lady, but if Lilo were really happy with her lifestyle, would she be an alcy/drug addict? (I've been both, BTW). People who are truly happy aren't constantly trying to justify/glorify/brag about their excesses and personal lives. They also aren't anaesthetizing themselves day after day.ReplyCancel
Shotinthedark really? Interesting…
We all have a "list" it just isn't occupied by famous names. This isn't any different than Shelly Winters. She had the opportunity to bed famous men and by God she did!
Sometimes it isn't about fear of being alone or a low self esteem. Sometimes it's about feeling powerful. Nothing better than having the ability to seduce a good looking and/or powerful man and let them worship you for a few hours.
Be safe, be smart and do your best not to intentionally hurt someone. Write a diary for yourself and when you're an old lady you can relive those heady times when you were young and attractive and wanted. Every woman should do it!ReplyCancel
Whatever. I was a little slut when I was younger, too. If I was an actress in Hollywood, the length of my list would rival Warren Beatty's!ReplyCancel
Up until I read this list I adored Jamie Dornan. Now, not so much.ReplyCancel
I thought he said he didn't cos she was a messReplyCancel
That's funny…while reading this one of my thoughts was, "well, Geez, I've slept with more people than that." So I'm glad a few others fessed up.ReplyCancel
I don't agree her handwriting is neat. It's juvenile and the letters to closely spaced.ReplyCancel
"Lindsay, 36 guys!?!?!"
"Oh wait, I forgot Blah-Blah."
"THIRTY SEVEN!?"ReplyCancel
I wanted to say sorry to anyone who thought my comments judgmental to anyone other than Lindsay. I grew up in a very repressed, religious household, so that colours my opinions sometimes.ReplyCancel
@ Tenisha My thoughts exactly. Really only Garret Hedlund from this list but still my crush just got flushed down the toilet forever. ewwwwww so bummed.ReplyCancel
Whores don't count tricks or BJs.ReplyCancel
Famewhores- do. When they need money. Attention. Ratings . Comparisons to Marilyn Monroe.ReplyCancel

Dabney Carr (1773-1837)
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Dabney Carr (1773–1837) was the son of Thomas Jefferson's sister Martha Jefferson (1746–1811) and his close friend Dabney Carr (1743–1773). Following his father's death, Carr spent a great deal of his early life at Monticello under the care of Jefferson. Prior to his departure for Europe in 1784, Jefferson entrusted Carr to the care of his friend, James Madison, who enrolled the young man at Hampden-Sydney College. Carr attended the school from 1786 to 1789, but did not take a degree, instead entering the Reverend Matthew Maury's boarding school in Albemarle County in 1790 to expand his knowledge of Greek and French. Three years later Carr decided to study law and Jefferson gave him full access to his library, suggesting numerous legal texts to him. Carr was admitted to the Virginia bar in 1796 and set up practice in Charlottesville. From 1801 to 1811 he served as commonwealth's attorney for Albemarle County. In March 1811 Carr was appointed a state judge on an interim basis but he failed to win confirmation from the general assembly. He was appointed and confirmed as a judge of the new chancery court at Winchester in January 1812. In April 1825 Jefferson hoped to convince Carr to oversee instruction in law at the fledgling University of Virginia, but in February 1824, Carr had been elected a judge on the Virginia Court of Appeals and he served in that capacity until his death.

By WILLIAM SHARPCastle Dale
I am writing this letter in response to Castle Dale City's proposed clean up ordinances. As well pointed out in The Emery County Progress, Castle Dale City leaders are proposing a city clean up ordinance.
Though I have not received any notification from the city demanding directly that I clean up my property, I still feel it is my duty as a patriotic American to speak out against this extreme proposed loss of freedom for the people of Castle Dale
Growing up in Utah and working for old hard working Mormon farmers, I was always impressed with their thrift and determination to never throw things away, especially things of a mechanical nature. They clearly understood the concept of using things up and not throwing something away just because you didn't use it yesterday.
It is sad to see the attitude of some in our 'throw away society' today, who are not content with throwing everything away themselves but also are intent on forcing everyone else to do the same. I suppose it goes along with those in society that have never faced a real time of need and do not understand how easily all of their convenient 'buy a new one' lifestyle could come to an end.
What is the most troubling to me is the fact that many I have talked to do not seem to even understand what property rights are and how deeply the Founding Fathers of America felt about and fought for property rights. I would like to take a few lines here and answer some common misconceptions about property rights using the Founding Fathers own rebuttals. A few quotes from the many.
An overriding respect for the sanctity of the ownership and personal use of private property, free from restrictive and invasive regulatory regulations, is firmly embedded in American colonial law, common law, and constitutional law:
To the demand that we need to be forced to clean up our properties for the common good, Alexander Hamilton, declared: "Let us therefore lay down a certain maxim: that whenever the public good happens to be the matter in question, it is not for the advantage of the public to deprive an individual of his property - or even to retrench the least part of it by a law or a political regulation."
William Blackstone, whose legal writings were considered as the final authority in American courts for a century-and-a-half after the adoption of the U. S. Constitution, declared: "So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property that it will not authorize the least violation of it - no, not even for the general good of the whole community."
To the demand that we need forced government control over our properties, John Locke, whose writings had direct impact in the framing both of the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution, succinctly declared that "the preservation of property [is] the reason for which men enter into society" and that "government . . . can never have a power to take to themselves the whole or any part of the subject's property without their own consent, for this would be in effect to leave them no property at all."
John Jay, original Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court and an author of the Federalist Papers declared that "It is the undoubted right and unalienable privilege of a [citizen] not to be divested or interrupted in the innocent use of private property. This is the Cornerstone of every free Constitution."
To those who demand that we do not need freedom on our private property, John Adams (signer of the Declaration and framer of the Bill of Rights) and William Paterson (signer of the Constitution and Justice placed on the U. S. Supreme Court by President George Washington) declared: "All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights, among which may be reckoned the right of . . . acquiring, possessing, and protecting property"
James Madison declared that "Government is instituted to protect property. . . This being the end of government, that alone is a just government which impartially secures to every man whatever is his own. . . That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where arbitrary restrictions deny to part of its citizens that free use of their [own] property."
John Dickinson, a signer of the Constitution, declared: "Let these truths be indelibly impressed on our minds: (1) that we cannot be happy without being free; (2) that we cannot be free without being secure in our property; (3) that we cannot be secure in our property if without our consent others may as by right take it away." So strongly and clearly the Founders defended private property rights.
No one should mistake this letter as my endorsement of trash blowing everywhere and streets full of trash without restraint as some false rumors have it. I support common littering laws and don't want my trash going onto city property or my neighbors property. My purpose in writing is to inform the people of what precious rights are being taken away from us and why those who seek to take these rights away from us no longer deserve our trust, support or votes.

Westboro & Windsor
Jason Mazzone
Fresh from its 2011 victory in Snyder v. Phelps, the Westboro Baptist Church has submitted an amicus brief in United States v. Windsor, the case the Supreme Court will hear next month on the constitutionality of section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act. Whether by accident or design, Westboro now has the surely unprecedented distinction of authoring a brief to the Supreme Court on a constitutional question that makes not a single mention of the Constitution itself.
The brief also breaks new ground by quoting at length from a Letter to the Editor from some guy in Australia in its Summary of Argument section.
When does anyone ever not consent to these things if this brief if accepted by both parties?
With respect though, the First Amendment is cited.
The brief seems to make a pretty straight forward argument. The Supreme Diety will nuke our cities if gay marriage is legal. I had never really thought about it, but that does seem like a pretty compelling state interest that would pass strict scrutiny . . . if you believed the predicate.
With respect though, the First Amendment is cited.Post a Comment

Head to one of Greece's 60 inhabited islands for your holidays. Opt for the lush green of Greece's Ionian islands (including Corfu and Kefalonia) to the west, or the dry rocky Cyclades to the south-east - from Santorini to Mykonos. On the mainland in Thessaloniki, you'll find cove after cove of hidden treasures in Halkidiki.
On a cultural holiday in Greece, see the ancient temples of the Acropolis in Athens and centuries-old Byzantine churches in Thessaloniki, then indulge in soutzoukakia (meat-balls in tomato sauce). On island holidays in Greece, roam the cobbled streets of Italianate Corfu Town and medieval Rhodes Town, both UNESCO-listed attractions. Then tuck into seafood – think htapodi (octopus), kalamari (squid) and xifias (swordfish).
For a challenging holiday in Greece, charter a yacht and sail down the Ionian Sea from Corfu to Zakynthos and across the Aegean Sea from Kos to Paros, or try windsurfing off Lefkada island. For outdoor cultural holidays in Greece, explore the archaeological sites of Delphi and Olympia or in travel to the mountains of northern Greece and try rabbit casserole, stifado.
Immerse yourself in the natural splendour of Greece, with its olive tree-draped hills and sparkling aquamarine seas, on a villa holiday with James Villas. The extensive James portfolio includes villas with private pools, in perfect settings for enjoying the serenity of Crete and Corfu. Or choose a conveniently located property for taking in the ancient ruins of Rhodes.
Fly with British Airways and enjoy award-winning service, excellent value for money and no hidden charges:

It always pays to check the spam filter. Andy Nichols, the Theater Manager at New York's The Picture House contacted me about a very interesting event he's hosting on January 25th for those who can make the venue. It is a part of It All Started Here, the city's festival of Celebrating Animation - the link is to an article publicising the events written by Susan Hodara for the Westchester section of The New York Times.
Andy's email then:
"On Sunday January 25, our theater is having two programs:
12-2pm – animated commercials with guests Howard Beckerman, J.J. Sedelmeier, and Tim Speidel of Arnold NY.
4-6pm – animated short films with guests R.O. Blechman, Emily Hubley, George Griffin, Jeff Scher and Michael Sporn.
I stumbled across your blog because we are screening a 35mm print of Eggs by John and Faith Hubley and I thought that your readers might be interested in coming to our event. Tickets are free to people in the animation industry. All details are available on our website www.thepicturehouse.org."
Eggs, largely animated by the remarkable Tissa David, is a must see for any student of animation. Sadly there's an ocean between us, Andy, but I'd love to meet with Michael, Jeff, Emily and others. I'm a great fan.
And an extract from Susan's article:
"BETTY BOOP, Spider-Man and a number of other cartoon characters are making appearances across Westchester as part of "It All Started Here," a combination of screenings, lectures, workshops and an exhibition at the Arts Exchange in White Plains, opening on Saturday evening. Presented by the Westchester Arts Council, "It All Started Here" focuses on animated cartoons, features and television commercials produced in New York City and, perhaps surprisingly, Westchester over the past 103 years."

Great runner
"The shoe stays on well, has enough length in the strap for any adjustments. The unfortunate part is the strap is a ribbon; it's sturdy, but too floppy for my two year old to manage on her own. Rainbow flower print was a hit!"

Woe, thy name is Oil
Jason Gregor
October 28 2008 02:30PM
The Oilers might want to try a new pre-game routine, or get a new alarm clock because they have been snoozing through most of the first periods so far this season.
The Oilers have only scored the first goal twice, both off the stick of Shawn Horcoff in their first two games of the season. Andrew Cogliano did light the lamp in the first period of game three in Calgary, but since then, the Oilers haven't had a sniff in the first 20 minutes.
Last night against Boston, the shots at one point in the first were 12–3 in favour of the Bruins, before the Oilers managed to finish the frame down 15–10. Bad starts are plaguing this team, and they are a direct result of not working hard enough.
The Oilers might lead the league in botched three-on-twos. Last night they had five odd-man rushes that didn't result in a shot on goal, never mind even a decent attempt at a shot. Four out of five times the puck carrier came down the wing, only to cross into the middle of the ice at the blueline and either turn the puck over or miss on a pass.
We all learned the basic 3-on-2 drill in mighty-mites (now it's novice) for goodness sakes. Puck carrier takes the puck wide, far guy busts to the net and the trailer is the high guy. Pretty basic stuff, yet the Oilers are looking more like the Ice Capades than a hockey team when they penetrate the zone. They might as well cross the line, and try a double axle with the fancy crap they keep using.
"The issues I have right now with our team are that we are a soft, high-risk offence. We got to get harder, we need to simplify our attack, and we need to penetrate the tough areas, rather than saucer passes through those areas," said a noticeably frustrated Craig MacTavish. "I have been patient, very patient to this point, but now I need to see results."
Right now the Oilers aren't paying the necessary price to win. They won't go to the tough areas, and they seem more interested in the pretty goal rather than the garbage goal. Heck, they should take any type of goal from most of their skilled players.
- Ales Hemsky: 0 goals in 8 games.
- Sam Gagner: 0 goals in 8 games, and one measly point.
- Dustin Penner: 0 goals in last 7 games.
- Erik Cole: 1 goal in 8 games.
- Tom Gilbert: 1 goal in 8 games.
Hemsky, Cole and Gagner have combined to score ONE goal on 61 shots. That is a gross 0.016 shooting percentage. Even Wanye has better success scoring with the ladies than those three do with putting the puck in the net.
The two worst culprits have been Gagner and Hemsky. It's a good thing they aren't using wood sticks, or there would be sawdust all over the ice the way those two are gripping the stick. Gagner, whose turnover in OT last night was as bad as you will see in the NHL, is clearly struggling, and it sounds like his leash will be shortened by the coach.
"It doesn't matter how old you are. There is a right way and a wrong way to play the game, and you have to start playing the right way. Having gone through many goal-scoring slumps, when you get desperate you start to get some desperation in your game and go to those tough areas, then you give yourself a chance to get a break," said MacTavish. "You can't ever cheat the game and expect results. That's what makes the game great, you get what you deserve. If you are executing you will eventually get rewarded for it. If you cut corners you see the overall reflection in your game too."
It's obvious that MacTavish's patience is running thin, and rightfully so. Sheldon Souray summed up the Oilers effort lately perfectly, "We need to become more predictable. You try to be unpredictable to the other team, but right now we are unpredictable to ourselves."
The next seven games will go a long way in deciding if the Oilers are legitimate division contenders, or that once again they are just middle-of-the-road, battle-for-your-life playoff hopefuls.
—Listen to Gregor weekdays from 3 to 6pm on the TEAM 1260 or online at justagame.ca.
trade time - shake it up - hemsky for gaborik and a second rounder - after taling to his agent for a long term deal - who care if he's hurt - 40 goals is better than penner and hemsky combined for the same or less money
October 28 2008, 02:45PM
"They might as well cross the line, and try a double axle with the fancy crap they keep using."
At least that would mean something interesting would happen in the game. These last few games, with exception to the Vancouver game, were so dull that I paid more attention to the rain storm in Philly last night. I don't even like baseball that much either. It almost feels like three quarters of the team has taken the Ales Hemsky approach to offense. Make a too many moves, never shoot, and try and make 80 percent of your passes through heavy traffic. I'm referring to slumping Ales Hemsky of course, not boner inducing deke Ales Hemsky. Brule, Shremp, Trukhno, etc must be chomping at the bit right now because it looks like their chance might come sooner than later.
I like Mact but honestly it's time for a coaching change. It's been years. Of course KLowe won't since he's best buds with MacT. ... It's not just based on this year, the up down up down up down of the team for the last few years ... get tortorella.
October 28 2008, 03:03PM
"Even Wanye has better success scoring with the ladies than those three do with putting the puck in the net."
That depends on how you define "lady" I suppose. If drinking 15 beers and watching reruns of The Golden Girls counts as a lady - I have a 100% shooting percentage.
October 28 2008, 03:05PM
Holy Crap I just read the comments "Hemsky for Gaborik."
Do you work for the Wild Deep Oil? Good gravy what a terrible idea.
Wanye: Lord Almighty, man, thanks so much for the over-the-coffee-table Betty White moneyshot imagery.
October 28 2008, 04:12PM
Robin, Betty White has taken more shots to the face than Jenna Jameson. Let's not kid ourselves. What? Too Far?
October 28 2008, 04:42PM
I love this site.
October 28 2008, 04:58PM
I was gonna say something but the Betty White facial imagery has stumped my comedic mind....wow.
October 28 2008, 06:03PM
Trade hemsky? That means I blew $50 worth of stitching this season.
October 28 2008, 06:08PM
October 28 2008, 06:29PM
While I admit I wouldn't mind seeing Gaborik skating in Oilers silks, lets not get carried away here. Gaborik for a couple of medium pieces that we can replace from depth; that I can see. But trading away irreplacable top talent (yes, I'm still referring to Hemsky that way) for someone that Minnisota doesn't seem to want to keep too badly? That's craziness, sir.
October 28 2008, 06:37PM
Although Gaborik would be nice, it's less than 10 games into the season and he's already hurt. You don't want to pay league max for a dude that won't even give you full seasons. He's made of glass, and losing Hemsky for him just isn't worth it.
October 28 2008, 06:59PM
Mac Daddy Says: OILERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They do???? NO WAY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The Oil have played like a 500 team and are a 500 team...Hockey justice 101. They will play better. Really....
Let's win 21 of 23 down the stretch and miss by 1 point.

We've played some spirited hockey in the last two games. I can see some of the luck switching over to good from bad soon.
Mmmm, Betty White....
October 29 2008, 04:17PM
I love this team to death, but if we don't come out of this upcoming roadtrip at least sitting at .500, and competing more consistantly on a night to night basic (literally, considering all the back2backs we have)... I really don't know what I'm going to do, being that I know what the management will do - absolutely nothing.
no, the flames suck! stop blaming it all on hemmer and mac t! hemmers leading in points, and mac t is doing a good job! it's oilers fans like you who bitch and moan, and make it so nylanders, kariyas, gaboriks and hossa's dont want to play in edmonton! lets start believing in our team instead of crucifying them! even flames fans show more class! u bandwagon jumpers disgust me! cant wait for the oil to light it up in nashville!
October 30 2008, 09:53AM
Hardy har har Dougggggy. The reason big free agents don't want to come to Edmonton is because it's Edmonton, not because of its fans. It's like playing in Moose Jaw.
Admirable take on the situation, you would n't ever want to critique your team especially if they're playing poorly. Jesus.

The RainForest showcases more than 10,000 plants and over 600 animals from the jungles of Asia, Africa and the Americas. This unique two-acre, two-level exhibit is one of the largest of its kind in the country.
The RainForest's naturalistic settings include a 25-foot waterfall, a research hut, the Discovery Center, a tropical rainstorm exhibit with thunder and lightning effects, a weather station and other interactive exhibits.
The Mission of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's RainForest:
There is perhaps no more significant environmental issue today than the conservation of the world's tropical rain forests. It is an issue that zoos, through leadership in education and preservation efforts, have a unique opportunity, and a duty, to present.
The challenge is to faithfully depict the amazing diversity of the world's three major rain forests: Africa, Asia and South America. Often called "the lungs of the world," these forests generate an estimated 20 percent of the world's oxygen and are home to more than one-half of the earth's animal and plant species, yet they cover just six percent of the earth's surface.
The RainForest at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is unique in the scope and variety of its exhibits. This "living museum" features a rich diversity of animals and plants from all tropical rain forests.
By bringing the wonder of the tropical rain forests to millions of visitors, The Rainforest increases public awareness of the value of these precious sanctuaries of life, and the urgency of their protection.

I have a contention, heretic that I am, that following on from the fact that the original name of West Auckland, in Te Reo, was "Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa", as referred to in the booklet on the Whau River by the Friends of the Whau, that the original name, and spelling of our river is not "Whau" but "Wao", named after the district, which in turn was named after the great forest West Auckland was known for. "Whau", to me, would appear to be a corruption. I'm well aware how heretical that is – but the "wow" pronunciation was the way we locals pronounced "Whau" when I was growing up in the 1960s-1970s. The modern (and still not quite correct) "f" sound is a recent thing.
So, here's what early newspapers had to say.
Southern Cross 21 August 1847
… an aqueduct from the Wahu river to the top of Mount Eden is already spoken of.
New Zealander 6 October 1847
Mount Eden, for instance, is called by the Natives Maungawao, from a beautiful shrub, the Wao, with large mulberry-shaped leaves and white flowers, which once abounded on its sides.
Southern Cross 28 September 1849
On Monday, the 24th instant, at the Wahu, Mrs. E. Kelly, of a Son.
New Zealander 8 March 1851
… the Town and Suburbs to Hobson's Bridge and Whau …
New Zealander 6 September 1851
BOUNDARIES OF THE BOROUGH OF AUCKLAND. The Northern Boundary runs from the eastern head of the Wao creek in an easterly direction along the south shore of the Waitemata harbour to the western head of the Tamaki river …
The European population of the Borough amounts to about 8000 souls, upwards of 4000 of whom occupy the town of Auckland and its adjacent suburbs, whilst the aggregate population of the Pensioner settlements of Onehunga, Howick, Panmure, and Otahuhu, may be estimated at about 2500 souls, leaving a population of about 1500 souls who are scattered over the rural districts of the Tamaki, Epsom, and the Wao, and are chiefly engaged in agricultural and pastoral pursuits.
Southern Cross 27 January 1852
…. access to the metal quarry, the mill, the Manukau ranges, the Waho, and the Kaipara.
Southern Cross 25 August 1854
MR. ELLIOT'S Surveyors being now on the Whau and, Waitemata Distripts, for a limited time only …
Southern Cross 16 October 1860
IMPOUNDED at the Public Pound, Newmarket, by W. Andrew for Dr. Pollen, for trespassing in his Grass Paddock, at the Wahu, One Dark Bay Horse, black points …
Southern Cross 14 June 1865
NOTICE. IMPOUNDED by Edward Lovett, for trespass in Mr. Crispe's oat paddock, at the Wahu flat, on June 10
From 1865, use of the spelling "Wahu", "Waho" or "Wao" for the district or the river fades out, and "Whau" takes over, always pronounced "wow". "Going down to the Whau" was a euphemism for entering the Auckland Lunatic Asylum (later Mental Hospital) as a patient.
NZ Truth 6 July 1912
So hilarious was the attack that he was put away in the 'asylum — or "Wow," as the hooligans call It— to recover. … Horatius had been in the asylum — beg pardon, the "Wow."
NZ Truth 14 August 1915
After reading this "Cambist" fears hls chance of a flying trip over the Mad House on the Whau (pronounced Wow) done for.
I'd like to see the original Maori name reinstated -- "Wao". That would stop any debates as to pronunciation. But, I know in today's world that would be putting the boat up the creek without any chance of paddles. I'm a heritage heretic who can't swim, anyway ...
