: : Curious why a lot of new toilets I've used require the handle to be held down for a thorough flush due to flush valve prematurely sealing before tank is sufficiently empty to do the job???
: Reply:
Yes, that's true. The flapper on this model (an Eljer) doesn't appear to be adjustable at all and leads me to believe there are poorly designed toilets being pawned off on the public. Do you believe this to be true?

From WWD.COM
Fisher stepped down as chairman of the company in 2003, to be succeeded by his son Bob, but continued as chairman emeritus and a director until his death.
Fisher??™s demise comes just more than a month after the 40th anniversary of when he and his wife founded the company, named for the ???generation gap??? between Baby Boomers and their parents. Then 41 ??" and with no retailing experience ??" he abandoned a well-established career in real estate development to become the clothier to his sons??™ generation just weeks after Woodstock and a month after man landed on the moon. The company recently introduced 1969 brand jeans to great fanfare in commemoration of the anniversary.
The entire enterprise grew out of a frustrating shopping experience. The Fishers made their midlife career move after they had difficulty exchanging an ill-fitting pair of jeans and failed to find an adequate denim size assortment at local department stores. They raised $63,000 to launch the first store in their hometown in 1969, and sales reached $2 million the following year, when a second unit opened in nearby San Jose, Calif.
Initially, Gap bore a strong resemblance to any of the jeans and head shops that proliferated at the time. Although it would later pioneer and prosper from a vertically integrated approach in which it designed, sourced and sold only its own brands, the first Gap stores carried jeans and sportswear from its corporate neighbor in San Francisco, Levi Strauss & Co., as well as music and accessories. But even those early stores were different, offering a wider array of Levi??™s styles and sizes than many of its peers, and selling them from small stores with merchandise stacked floor to ceiling, like books. Clerks had to reach the higher shelves using ladders like in libraries.
From the start, and, observers have pointed out, in no small part because of Fisher??™s real estate background, Gap pursued expansion vigorously and didn??™t hesitate to turn to the public markets for growth capital, listing on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges with an offering of 1.2 million shares in 1976. The pursuit of expansion would become a stumbling block for the company over the course of the last decade, cutting into profits and causing the firm to put the brakes on what had been close to uninterrupted growth during its first 30 years.
What would prove to be Fisher??™s smartest move was to tap Millard ???Mickey??? Drexler as president and chief operating officer of the Gap division in 1983 from Ann Taylor. Over the next decade, the duo would revolutionize not only the way America and the world shopped, but also the way it dressed ??" turning basics into fashion, from white shirts to khakis ??" and along the way acquiring the fashion-at-a-price chain Banana Republic, then launching the lower-cost Old Navy and GapKids.
Drexler succeeded Fisher as president and ceo of the company in 1995, but left seven years later as its financial performance and brand appeal faltered. While the board said Drexler stepped down, he has repeatedly said he was fired.

ANOTHER HEDI SHOOT: ???Twilight??? star Robert Pattinson graces the cover of the fall issue of Another Man, the men??™s spin-off from Another Magazine. Appropriately enough, the title??™s editor-in-chief, Jefferson Hack, tapped Hedi Slimane ??" who??™s known for his moody, shadowy images of youthful subjects ??" to shoot Pattinson. Along with Pattinson??™s interview with journalist Dave Calhoun, the issue also profiles Dennis Hopper and his photographic work and David de Rothschild, who??™s sailing across the Pacific in a boat made from plastic bottles, to highlight an area of pollution in the ocean.
To coincide with the release of Another Man, which hits newsstands Thursday, the magazine will today launch an online store, which will carry three limited edition art works created for the magazine by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, Tom Friedman, and Vera Lehndorff (also known as the Sixties model Veruschka) and Holger Trulzsch, who have all worked with the title in the past. The Chapman brothers, for example, have created a hand-colored etching of their dark vision of a teddy bears??™ picnic, which comes in an edition of 120 and will sell for up to 1,925 pounds, or around $3,070. The Web site will also sell ???Another Fashion Book,??? which is made up of fashion editorials from the magazine, and ???Another Portrait Book,??? which will be published in November. Other products include a candle in collaboration with Colette, a fragrance with Le Labo and a bag designed by Peter Pilotto for Mismo, will be sold via the online store, as well as at retailers including Liberty in London, Colette in Paris, Opening Ceremony in New York and Los Angeles and Joyce in Hong Kong in mid-October. ??"

Her children with Tom Cruise are Scientologists.
Unfortunately for Nicole Kidman, the world will always and forever be fascinated by her relationship with Tom Cruise, which ended in divorce in 2001. The stunning Aussie actress chats with The Hollywood Reporter about her children with Cruise — Isabella, 20, and Connor, 17 — and their belief in Scientology. Keep reading to see what she has to say about them, what she considers "tacky" and what it was like to urinate on Zac Efron in The Paperboy.
On her feelings about Scientology: "I've chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology. I have two children who are Scientologists — Connor and Isabella — and I utterly respect their beliefs."
On the celeb perk she finds "tacky": "Never would I take free clothes. That would be so ... tacky. These people work so hard to make beautiful things — you have to appreciate that."
On her preference for indie films over mainstream movies: "My heart is independent. I come from Australia, I was trained in indie movies. It's an unconscious decision — it's who I am. As an actor, you live and die by your choices. I don't associate with mainstream films anymore. I don't do so well in them, either. I guess I have a foot in both worlds. I've been offered some studio films this year and turned them down. They just didn't align with who I am."
On questioning the existence of movie stars: "I actually don't even know what a movie star is now — what is a movie star? ... When the best female part of the year is Claire Danes in Homeland, you know the game's changed. Maybe in the '50s, there was a far more particular idea for a movie star. But now that's all blurry — everything's more fluid."
On that shocking scene in The Paperboy: "I just don't find urination shocking. ... I think I peed in the beginning of Eyes Wide Shut, too. But then, I don't find a lot of things shocking! Violence is a lot more shocking than sex — sex is primal. ... I felt shy singing in Moulin Rouge! — but peeing — no, not shy."
On Paperboy director Lee Daniels' obsessions with her backside: Lee had an obsession about shooting me from behind — he was obsessed with my (bottom)! To me, that was so funny — he's hilarious, I love him. I'm drawn to Lee for his wild nature."
On living in Nashville with country star husband Keith Urban: "It's such an easy lifestyle. And it's more diverse than you'd expect. There's so much great music. The Black Keys go jogging past the restaurant Keith and I go to. We'll hang out with Jack White in the studio. And there's music in our house all the time — Keith plays harmonica, drums, banjo, piano and bass guitar. He has a strong will about his career, and so do I. We want each other to thrive and do what we love, and we never interfere in the other's career choices."

Approximate minimum degree permutation
P = amd(A)
P = amd(A,opts)
P = amd(A) returns the
approximate minimum degree permutation vector for the sparse matrix
= A + A'. The Cholesky factorization of
C(P,P) or
A(P,P) tends
to be sparser than that of
C or
amd function tends to be faster than
symamd, and also tends to return better
orderings than
symamd. Matrix
A must
be square. If
A is a full matrix, then
amd(A) is
equivalent to
P = amd(A,opts) allows additional
options for the reordering. The
opts input is a
structure with the two fields shown below. You only need to set the
fields of interest:
dense — A
nonnegative scalar value that indicates what is considered to be dense.
If A is n-by-n, then rows and columns with more than
max(16,(dense*sqrt(n))) entries
A + A' are considered to be "dense" and are
ignored during the ordering. MATLAB® software places these rows
and columns last in the output permutation. The default value for
this field is 10.0 if this option is not present.
aggressive — A scalar value controlling aggressive absorption. If this field is set to a nonzero value, then aggressive absorption is performed. This is the default if this option is not present.
MATLAB software performs an assembly tree post-ordering,
which is typically the same as an elimination tree post-ordering.
It is not always identical because of the approximate degree update
used, and because "dense" rows and columns do not take
part in the post-order. It well-suited for a subsequent
chol operation, however, If you require
a precise elimination tree post-ordering, you can use the following
P = amd(S); C = spones(S)+spones(S'); [ignore, Q] = etree(C(P,P)); P = P(Q);
S is
already symmetric, omit the second line,
C = spones(S)+spones(S').
This example constructs a sparse matrix and computes a two Cholesky
factors: one of the original matrix and one of the original matrix
preordered by
amd. Note how much sparser the
Cholesky factor of the preordered matrix is compared to the factor
of the matrix in its natural ordering:
A = gallery('wathen',50,50); p = amd(A); L = chol(A,'lower'); Lp = chol(A(p,p),'lower'); figure; subplot(2,2,1); spy(A); title('Sparsity structure of A'); subplot(2,2,2); spy(A(p,p)); title('Sparsity structure of AMD ordered A'); subplot(2,2,3); spy(L); title('Sparsity structure of Cholesky factor of A'); subplot(2,2,4); spy(Lp); title('Sparsity structure of Cholesky factor of AMD ordered A'); set(gcf,'Position',[100 100 800 700]);

Kingsport business owners re-open, keep cleaning
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Dark rain clouds over downtown Kingsport are an erie reminder of the storm that soaked this city less than a week ago.
Along East Market Street you can still find signs businesses trying to dry out, and others double checking everything to make sure it's ok.
"I know I'm still questioning the electric and wiring in my studio, I know I don't have a water heater that works," says Suzanne Barrett Justis who owns an art studio along East Market Street.
But along with the clean up, you will find open signs as these business owners get back to work and back to normal.
Suzanne Barrett Justis says she spent Sunday replacing the flowers outside her studio a task that was important to her for moving on after the flood.
"I just wanted some sense of normalcy," says Barrett Justis.
Every business is not back to normal.
At style the sign on the front door says they are inside cleaning up, you're welcome to come in an shop if you want. Workers tell me they hope to reopen in the next day or so.
More financial assistance rolled in Monday to help the businesses recover.
The United Way of Greater Kingsport announced a 5-thousand dollars to the downtown association.
"When this happened on Wednesday our board immediately said we want to help," says Danelle Glasscock, from United Way of Greater Kingsport, "we want to be part of the change, and we encourage others to do the same."
They say this will likely not be their last donation to help with the flood relief and the United Way officials are already considering contributions to other organizations assisting the flood victims.
Business owners tell me one of the bright spots in the recovery has been the community support.
"Just having someone come in and roll up their sleeves and help has been a God send," says Barrett Justis.
The Sullivan County Emergency Management office is trying to contact everyone with flood damage.
They say it's important to make sure every damaged property is counted in the damage assessment.
Their number is 423-323-6912.

The distributor says Amazon proposed new terms that would have cut publishers' margins.
Allison Enright
Amazon.com Inc. pulled 5,000 Kindle e-book titles from its library this week when the online retailer and the book distributor representing those titles couldn't come to an agreement on how much money each group would get from the sale of digital books, the distributor says.
The book distributor, Independent Publishers Group, says Amazon proposed new financial terms when the distributor's contract came up for renewal recently. Mark Suchomel, president of Independent Publishers Group, says the new terms would have changed substantially the revenue the publishers it represents get from the sale of e-books. "It's obvious that publisher's can't continue to agree to terms that increasingly reduce already narrow margins," Suchomel wrote in an e-mail to IPG clients. "I'm not sure what has changed at Amazon over the last few months that they now find it unacceptable to buy from IPG at terms that are acceptable to our other customers," he says. He does not say what terms Amazon proposed. Amazon and Apple Inc., which also sells e-books, typically have struck deals with publishers to sell books for a 30% commission.
Amazon, No. 1 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide, did not respond to inquiries about the dispute.
Print versions of book titles distributed by IPG remain for sale on Amazon.com.

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:11 PM GMT on May 23, 2011
The incredibly violent tornado season of 2011 struck another sickening blow last night, when a violent tornado carved a ½ – ¾ mile-wide path of devastation through Joplin, Missouri. At least 89 people died, hundreds were injured, and huge sections of the town virtually obliterated. Damage from the tornado is so severe that pavement was ripped from the ground, which is characteristic of a top-end EF-5 tornado with winds in excess of 200 mph. This was almost certainly a least an EF-4 tornado with winds over 166 mph, and the level of damage is so extreme that this is likely to surpass last month's Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado as the costliest tornado of all-time.
Figure 1. Cars stacked on top of each other in front of the heavily damaged St. Johns Regional Medical Center after the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, Missouri. Note the pavement ripped up from the road and piled in front of the cars. Tornadoes powerful enough to rip up pavement are frequently classified as EF-5 with winds in excess of 200 mph. Image credit: Chris McCrillis, posted to Twitter.
The huge supercell thunderstorm that spawned the Joplin tornado formed over extreme southeast Kansas yesterday afternoon, along the boundary between warm, moist air flowing northwards from the Gulf of Mexico, and cold, dry air moving south from Canada. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) had put the region in its "moderate risk" region for severe weather. As the supercell moved into Southwest Missouri, it spawned the tornado that roared through Joplin at 5:45pm CDT. This storm generated other tornadoes, straight-line wind damage, and flash flooding from torrential rains that exceeded six inches as it moved east southeast across Southwest Missouri. SPC recorded 48 preliminary reports of tornadoes yesterday, bringing the 2-day total for the current outbreak to 70. A tornado also killed one person and injured 22 in Minneapolis Sunday. Separate tornadoes killed one person each in Andice, Texas and Reading, Kansas on Saturday—the first tornado deaths in the U.S. since the April 25 – 28 Super Outbreak.

Deadliest tornado since 1953
Yesterday's Joplin, Missouri tornado is the deadliest single tornado in the U.S. since June 10, 1953, when 94 people died in the Worcester, Massachusetts tornado. The previous deadliest tornado in the past 50 years occurred just last month, when 65 people died in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham EF-4 tornado in Alabama. This year's tornado death toll now stands at 455, making it the deadliest year for tornadoes in the U.S. since 1953, when 519 people died. The deadliest year was 1925, with 794 deaths. That was the year of the deadliest U.S. tornado of all-time, the great Tri-State tornado, which killed 695 people in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
More severe weather today
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed a large section of the Midwest U.S., including portions of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, in its "moderate risk" region for severe weather today. The threat of tornadoes will not be as great today as yesterday, with today's main threat being large hail and damaging straight-line thunderstorm winds. However, I do expect we will see a dozen or so tornadoes today, and residents of the at-risk area need to keep in mind the deadly history of this storm system. The severe weather threat will continue into Tuesday, when additional tornadoes are likely over Oklahoma, Kansas, and Southwest Missouri. A severe thunderstorm roared through Joplin between 8:30am and 9am CDT this morning, bringing heavy rain, small hail, and wind gusts to 36 mph. Undoubtedly, this storm frayed some nerves, and the city will remain at risk of seeing more severe thunderstorms through Tuesday night.
Figure 5. Severe weather threat for Monday, May 23, 2011.
The most remarkable audio I've ever heard of people surviving a direct hit by a violent tornado was posted to Youtube by someone who took shelter in the walk-in storage refrigerator at a gas station during the Joplin tornado. There isn't much video. We won't see a lot of spectacular videos of the Joplin tornado, since it was wrapped in rain and difficult to see.
Listen to my 12-minute interview on the historic April 2011 tornadoes for EarthSky.org, which aired on NPR earlier this month. I discuss how climate change might impact severe weather and tornadoes.
Our weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, has an excellent post on The World's Deadliest Tornadoes.

Matthew's baby mami was beyond elegant in shiny, pin-straight strands that channeled Cher's '70s vibe and sultry-meets-smoky eyes that were achieved with Jouer's Eye Definer in 'Noir' and Powder Eyeshadows in 'Almond' and 'Cappuccino' in the crease. We love a woman who has a signature beauty look and Camila is a prime example of this.
Heidi Klum, you've done it again! Even though she loves to switch up her awards show hairstyles more than any celeb we know, the Project Runway host actually kept things simple and sexy tonight, sporting perfectly coiffed waves.
If you were following @LatinaMagazine's Instagram feed today, you got a sneak peek of Orange Is The New Black star Dascha's takeover and her behind-the-scenes snaps getting ready! We're loving those voluminous curls and that sparkly, seafoam green eye, chica!
Dascha's #OITNB pal Taylor Schilling also looked super glam on the red carpet tonight. She opted for a soft, smoky brown eye, instead of a darker black version, which was perfect for her tousled updo and side-swept bang.
Now this is how you do a romantic updo! Hayden was glowing at the Emmys (thanks to her adorable baby bump) and her gorgeous 'do was one of the best of the night. Love the headband!
Dear Julie Bowen, your lashes were everything tonight. A flawless hair and makeup look from one the funniest women on TV.
Sarah's flirty doughnut bun was the perfect beauty accessory for her playful crop top and major ball skirt. Her defined, mauve lip and bold brows were also on point.
G gave us a hot, new, blonder hue in the form of this blunt bob and we are obsessed. We have a feeing there will be another huge #ShortHairDontCare movement thanks to her.
Someone had to bring the deep side part tonight and we're glad Jessica Pare did. Such drama!
Keke needed amazing hair to match this ah-maz-ing dress and she did NOT disappoint. Her very low, very long pony was next level.
Kate's textured bob is making us all consider going auburn for fall and her gunmetal-rimmed peepers are striking thanks to Charlotte Tilbury's Luxury Palette in 'The Rock Chick'. #GorgeAward!
She has arrived! Sofia may have opted for crisp white for her gown, but she definitely went for red hot lips! Courtesy of CoverGirl, of course. Her lipstick is actually CoverGirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor in 'Ever Red Dy' (#507) and her nails are the ultimate nude, also by CG. Everyone can now go home because Sofia just won all of the beauty awards.

Gorgeous wedges - goes with lots of outfits
"I *love* these shoes. Between being wedges and having the ankle strap, this shoe has plenty of support. It can go with a variety of outfits and colors, because the heel part has patches of colors. I have worn these with a black top and white denim shorts, with a turquoise shirt dress, and with a muted green dress. It's a great spring/summer shoe! The only thing is, on my right foot, right above the big toe, the friction between the shoe and my skin gave me a blister the first time I wore these shoes, but it has been find since then."

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Skip to comments.Floridians back Stand Your Ground law
Posted on 04/25/2012 5:38:36 AM PDT by marktwain
In the wake of the Trayvon Martins death, many on the Left have been blaming Floridas Stand Your Ground law, a statue passed last year that allows use for the use of deadly force in self-defense (my home state of Georgia passed a similar law a few years ago). They say that the law empowered George Zimmerman to target Martin and claim self-defense.
While I have no opinion on Zimmermans guilt or innocence in the case at this point I believe too little is known to jump to conclusions one way or the other, the ire over the Stand Your Ground law seems a little misplaced and, in some cases, dishonest. Dave Kopel, a Second Amendment scholar, explains:
The assertion that Florida law allows shooting whenever someone believes it to be necessary is a flat-out lie. The actual law of Florida is that a person is justified in the use of deadly force if (1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony (Florida Statutes, Section 776.012).
The second part of the law provides special provisions for self-defense against violent home invaders or carjackers. Neither of those is relevant to the Zimmerman case.
If the factual claims of Trayvons supporters are true, Mr. Zimmerman criminally attacked Trayvon and killed him, while having no reasonable belief that Trayvon was perpetrating a forcible felony, or imminently about to kill or gravely wound Mr. Zimmerman. So Floridas self-defense laws simply would not apply, since Mr. Zimmerman would have no right under Florida law to use deadly force.
Floridas rule that deadly force may be used to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm or the imminent commission of a forcible felony is the norm throughout the United States. [ ] Like the majority of American states, Florida does not mandate that victims of a violent crime attempt to retreat before they defend themselves. The retreat rule is irrelevant, regardless of whether you believe Trayvons advocates or Mr. Zimmermans advocates.
According to one side, Mr. Zimmerman was the criminal aggressor. Thus, he would have no self-defense rights at all. According to the other side, Trayvon attacked Mr. Zimmerman, knocked him to the ground, got on top of him and continued the attack. So Mr. Zimmerman would have had no ability to retreat. Either way, the retreat rules for lawful defenders have nothing to do with this case.
Despite what the gun prohibition lobbies claim, the no-retreat rule has deep roots in traditional American law. At the Supreme Court, the rule dates back to the 1895 case of Beard v. United States, in which the great Justice John Harlan wrote for a unanimous court that the victim was not obliged to retreat, nor to consider whether he could safely retreat, but was entitled to stand his ground, and meet any attack upon him with a deadly weapon, in such a way and with such force as, under all the circumstances, he, at the moment, honestly believed, and had reasonable grounds to believe, were necessary to save his own life, or to protect himself from great bodily injury.
The great progressive Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes also expressed the unanimous opinion of the court that if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant he may stand his ground and that if he kills him he has not succeededthe bounds of lawful self-defense. Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife (Brown v. United States, 1921).
According to a survey released yesterday by Public Policy Policy a Democratic polling firm used by the Daily Kos, Floridians are largely not buying the fuss over the law in the afterman of Martins death:
Floridians generally support the firearm self-defense law that George Zimmerman will use as part of his defense in the Trayvon Martin case, but they also support him being charged with second-degree murder because they think he is guilty.
42% of Florida voters support the Stand Your Ground law, and 32% oppose it. Republicans overwhelmingly support it (60-13), and independents like it as well (45-31), but Democrats oppose it (24-50).
49% think Zimmerman was appropriately charged, while 25% think he was not. The verdict is more narrow when it comes to his actual guilt of said charge31% believe he is guilty, and 26% think him innocent. Despite the hullabaloo, 46% believe Zimmerman will be able to receive a fair trial, and 37% think he cannot.
Floridians generally do not believe Zimmerman was motivated by racism when he killed Martinonly 32% think he was, and 45% think he wasnt.
With recent developments in the case, we may never know what exactly happened in Sanford, Florida in late Feburary, but Martins death has, been politicized to the point of absurdity, taking away any real possibility of a fair trail for Zimmerman, something he should be entitled to whether a jury ultimately finds that he commited a crime or not.
Its not surprising that the anti-gun lobby would launch an attack on Stand Your Ground laws. They would use just about any random act to do so, even though their ultimate goal of disarming the public would leave law-abiding Americans without a reasonable means to defend themsevles.
I'm confused by this writer. Unless bouncing someone's head off a sidewalk is a new game, it will definitely cause great bodily harm.
...damn straight...the law gives Floridians one more way to protect themselves from people like Trayvon Martin.
I wonder how much the home burglaries have decreased in the neighborhood since poor wittle waif Trayvon has assumed room temp?
This Floridian supports the Stand Your Ground law.
I'm afraid a lot of people would sacrifice Zimmerman to avoid riots.
or a log chain and a pickup
I do.
Stand your ground doesnt go far enough.
Id like to see a law saying that you can pursue with deadly force. The police sure wont help you.
Four months ago, my daughter had her home broken into and all her valuables (cash, computers, TVs, guns, a few pieces of furniture, etc.) taken. She got there in time to see the thiefs pickup truck pulling away and she followed the thief back to his home. With the pickup in his driveway, she called the cops and told the cops that she was parked outside of the thief's house and that her possessions were in plain sight and in the pickup. The cops told her that since nobody was hurt, it was an insurance problem not a police problem and she should just go home and file an insurance claim. (Nevada)
yet another great Democrat Astroturf Stunt is blowing up in their faces
"Four months ago, my daughter had her home broken into and all her valuables (cash, computers, TVs, guns, a few pieces of furniture, etc.) taken.

OUTRAGEOUS! We actually had something quite similar happen to us. A bunch of our stuff found in a stolen car parked at Cabrini Green in downtown Chicago. The police called the owner of the car (who was a neighbor of ours) and told her to come get the car. She found all the stolen stuff in it and refused to take the car until all the stolen goods were returned to the rightful owner. Cops just wanted her to take her car with all the stuff in it! They couldn't be bothered! And then they wonder why police are getting an AWFUL reputation as slugs!
It remains to be seen if SYG will even be the defense for GZ.
I'm thinking not - just simple self-defense as TM had him pinned to the ground, he could not get away, and was in reasonable fear of serious or even fatal injury. Maybe there was a fight over the gun - maybe not. Either way he had the right of self-defense.
That says it all.
Also, from a legal standpoint and as I understand it, SYG isn't even applicable here, since George Zimmerman was on his back getting thumped, and in that situation any "duty to retreat" is obviously moot since you can't retreat.
As they should.
AND--I would be extremely reluctant to approach any house--especially a stranger's house--at night and would be careful anytime.
Not long ago, in a rural area, I got lost in the woods. Night fell.
I had no choice but to cross a stranger's land to reach the road.
As I walked down his long driveway, a car approached, obviously the owner coming home.
The car slowed as it approached me.
I was very, very, very careful to keep my hands exposed, to stay in the headlights, and to do nothing threatening.
The man stopped. His boy was in the car with him.
As soon as he rolled down his window, I said in my most polite manner: "I'm sorry. I got lost in the woods, and I'm trying to get back to the road."
It helped that I was walking away from his house.
He relaxed and told me to proceed.
It is true that I am white and have a sophisticated, educated accent. But even so--I was very, very, very careful. I couldn't help wondering later how it might have been had I been otherwise.
My advice to anyone who finds himself in such circumstances--especially if not white and not having a sophisticated, educated accent--is (1) to avoid any such circumstances if at all possible and (2) to be very, very, very, very, very careful if you can't. Never mind being right. Be safe!
I understand the arguments against the castle doctrine, but self-defense--especially as our world becomes more and more dangerous--trumps them.
Those in support of SYG are smart enough to imagine themselves or their loved ones in a situation in which they desperately need SYG.
Those who oppose SYG can only imagine other people using SYG to defend themselves, and they do not want them to be able to defend themselves. This implies that they either: want to oppress and control others, and/or want to protect those who want to oppress and control others, and/or are so terrified of unexpected loud noises that they are frightened to death from the very existence of guns in the world.
Do not forget ignorance or misinformation. Most of those who oppose SYG believe what they have been told by the MSM. They have been told that SYG means that people who get a concealed carry permit have a license to kill anyone they want at any time. That is what has been put forward, for the most part, by the MSM.
Most of these misinformed people would support SYG if they knew the facts.
I wonder if they had fingerprints from previous burglaries in the area that might match Trayvon's.
" The freedom-hating leftmedia has been, quite predictably, short-stroking this whole episode as a foil against SYG laws since the beginning"
50% cut in violent crime? Oh yeah, what the hell, get rid of SYG!!
So does this one. Moreover, what really scares me is any effort to repeal the other side of the law besides SYG, which is to forbid any civil action for wrongful death and to forbid any local antigun zealots in the State Attorney's Office from bringing the case to trial anyway, knowing full well they'd lose but just wanting to bleed the poor citizen dry and make him go broke in his defense so as to make an example and thus deter future citizens from protecting themselves. That was a standard back when Janet Reno was our not so great State Attorney here in Miami-Dade.
"...This Floridian supports the Stand Your Ground law..."
This Pennsylvanian supports your SYG Law too. We have the same law.
They mess with one of us, they mess with ALL of us.
About time we gunnies all stand together and tell them where to go.
There are millions of us. We need to never let the other side forget that.
I checked two days ago and over 919,000+ Floridians had CCW licenses.
As a Pennsylvania refugee now living in Florida, I watched and wrote my PA assemblywoman and senator during the HB 40 debates last year. It is a very similar law but one important distinction that you should know of, inserted in the waning days of the debate: In order to "Stand Your Ground" in PA, the other party must be in possession of a firearm or lethal weapon. This is not the case in FL.
Is it 919,000 Floridians with CCWs, or 919,000 people that have a Florida CCW?
Before I lived in Florida, I obtained a nonresident Florida CCW because it, along with Utah, gave me wide-ranging reciprocity across the country.
A poster on another thread said it looked like the grand-jury was being bypassed in order to persecute, er, prosecute Mr. Zimmerman. It actually seems supported by this Huffington Post article, which says:
And unless Zimmerman pleads guilty, the affidavit by itself, summarizing the investigation by the special prosecutor, will force him to stand trial without a grand jury having heard any evidence and returned an indictment, but simply on a hearsay statement from two investigators who summarized their version of the evidence.
Things are very "interesting" if that is the case; as it is a clear violation of the Fifth Amendment.
So if a crackhead kicks in your door at 2AM without a weapon you have to leave your home?
Resident holders broken down by county. I did not check for out of staters. Miami-Dade-84,000+
Gator country resident approves!
My understanding is that the 'castle doctrine' was always in effect and that no, you wouldn't have to retreat. What PA legislators called the 'Castle Doctrine' was really an expansion to non-castle (outside your home) situations, aka 'Stand Your Ground.'
So no, you wouldn't be expected to retreat. But that same crackhead on the street comes after you without a weapon, perhaps you would be expected to retreat. However, nowhere outside of Philly would you ever get convicted for standing your ground.
I think the only Florida law that needs to change because of the Zimmerman case is that grand juries should be required in any felony charge.
That Trayvon was bouncing George's head off the ground is not at present a fact as determined by a court.
It is the defendant's story of what happened. And it may be supported by witnesses.
It may very well also be the truth. But in other cases I've noticed around here a certain shall we say resistance to assuming everything the defendant says is the whole truth.
But I like this story to get the police to act:
Roger Gresse, an elderly man, from Zanesville, OH, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed. Roger opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked, "Is someone in your house?" He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me."
Then the police dispatcher said. "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available."
Roger said, "Okay."
He hung up the phone and counted to 30.
Then he phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot them," and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six police cars, a SWAT team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic, and an ambulance showed up at the Gresse residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to Roger, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
Roger said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
"...919,000+ Floridians had CCW licenses...."
That's just Florida.
Imagine if we ALL, in every state, voted as a bloc, against every Antigun candidate, showed up at rallies, voted for progun candidates, protested outside of Dem/Lib/RINO offices, etc.
They mess with ONE of us, they mess with ALL of us.
I know...won't happen...and that's why we're always on the defense against these fascist pr*cks.
"...In order to Stand Your Ground in PA, the other party must be in possession of a firearm or lethal weapon. This is not the case in FL...."
Yes, I'm aware of that, brother. But still - it's a pro-gun law, in a gun-friendly state, that the other side loses sleep over every day we exist.
And that's NEVER a bad thing.
We are Legion...it's about time we stand up and act like it.
Joe, Joe, Joe. You misunderstand the "legal standpoint".
SYG simply says that IF you are lawfully in a place and are attacked that you may meet force with force and if faced with imminent death or great bodily injury you may use deadly force.
If it is established that you acted validly in self defense then you are IMMUNE from prosecution AND civil liability. It is not just an affirmative defense it provides for immunity. Very rare in law.
A motion to dismiss, PRIOR TO TRIAL, is critical as it allows you a "free shot" (no pun intended, of course ;-) to dismiss all charges and obtain IMMUNITY from any civil damages lawsuits - wrongful death, civil assault, etc.
With SYG, at such a hearing you need only establish by a preponderance of the evidence (50% +1) that, using the reasonable man standard, you were in fear of imminent death or severe bodily injury, for you or another, to act with deadly force.
The judge acts as both trier of fact (normally the province of the jury) and of law.
If the judge finds self-defense all charges are dismissed and the neither perp nor his family can sue without having to pay all costs just for bringing suit.
Even at trial, if a motion to dismiss fails, the law is in effect I believe.
No cases that I know of but aside from the prosecution needing to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, one could argue that as a matter of self defense, the reasonable man/preponderance of evidence burden of proof may be applicable allowing a dismissal at that level of proof before a jury.
Even then the prosecution alternatively has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of 2nd degree murder.
The last three paragraphs are speculation the rest is not. Trust me! Been there, done that. SYG applies here. ;-)
Not to sidetrack this thread, but in all honesty your story sounds awfully bizarre. You're in a rural area by yourself, get lost in the woods as nightfall approaches and you have no idea where you are? How would you know whose land you're on in the first place and what direction the road was at? What were you doing in the rural woods by yourself in the first place? Do you normally just park your car in rural areas and walk into the woods without a clue as to where you are? You may be white, sophisticated & educated, but you better stay on the pavement from here on. You're not making a good case for being sophisticated & educated. Let the farm boys & girls roam around in the woods at night. They will find their way home.
The 32% opposed to "stand your ground" are those preying on the majority and the bleeding hearts hiding in their secure enclaves. Those on the front lines who live with the fear of home invasions and street muggings are all in favour of the right to stand your ground and defend yourself and your family.
A lot of it *is* happening. It is why gun control, as such, has become a toxic third rail for politicians.
Many still want it, but they go to considerable lengths to disguise it, give themselves cover, try to sneak it into other bills, the usual statist deceptions.
"Id like to see a law saying that you can pursue with deadly force. The police sure wont help you."
No. That is a very bad idea. You do not take a human life over theft, even if the police our negligent. Your daughter did the right thing to merely follow and report. The police were clearly negligent, but that is not a reason to allow citizens to kill over being burglarized when their persons we not in danger of harm. The law assumes, and rightly, that human life (even that of a thief) is worth more than mere property. Self defense laws (concealed carry) are proper and need to be continued, but what you advocate is too over the top and a form of anarchy.
"Four months ago, my daughter had her home broken into and all her valuables (cash, computers, TVs, guns, a few pieces of furniture, etc.) taken. She got there in time to see the thiefs pickup truck pulling away and she followed the thief back to his home.

The cops told her that since nobody was hurt, it was an insurance problem not a police problem and she should just go home and file an insurance claim. (Nevada)"
I don't know why the "police" didn't respond....it sounds like dereliction of duty OR they didn't believe your daugther (they were wrong either way). Why didn't she call the County Sheriff IF the city police did not respond? Whatever, your daugther has my sympathy and respect for keeping her head. I hope your story is an aberration, and not the norm. I can understand your outrage - I would feel the same. Just don't let it drive you to extreme measures. It makes you the "criminal."
With a Kingone Battlif from "Star Trek"? Ouch that would hurt!
yes, They are known to leave a mark. LOL
Also, I have Had to defend myself with my Bass Guitar on occasion.
It wouldn't by chance by the "Sword of Kayliss?" You should only use it after getting drunk on Klingon "Bloodwine." ;-)
A batleth is a fine weapon, but for close-in work, like keeping a weapon beside your bed, the smaller metleth is better.
I've been known to do that! LOL! (Note the bodacious Klingon Physique!)

1. Washington Township EA of Warren County: Senior Citizen Publishing Company Project--$694.50
"I plan on inviting approximately 40 Senior Citizens from the community to participate in the 'Senior Biography Program' with sixth graders. I will pair each of them up with a sixth grader to work on a book making project. The purpose will be for the sixth graders to interview the Seniors about special gatherings, celebrations, or reunions they have attended over the years. The theme this year is "Special Celebrations, Gatherings, or Reunions." We will be celebrating our 20 year Senior Program Reunion. The Seniors will be answering a prepared list of interview questions about how they celebrated as a child in a safe responsible way. Their answers will be used for the student to make a biography to be gifted to their Senior in the Spring, as a memory and documentation of their time together. This project gives the Seniors in the community a chance to come into the school and be an integral part of the students' education. It also allows the students to have wonderful role models to aspire to be like, and to learn from. The students will compile their answers into a well -written book, which will be presented to their Senior partners in the Spring. In the front of each book a Washington Township Pride in Education label will be affixed. A promotional item will also be handed out. The Washington Township Pride in Education banner will also be displayed. This project will include 6th graders, parents, staff, and Senior Citizens in the community."

French drug maker Sanofi says its net profit was more than halved in the fourth quarter from a year earlier as mounting restructuring costs and patent losses on key drugs combined to hammer earnings.
Sanofi said Thursday that its net profit was (EURO)438 million ($593 million) in the October-December quarter, down from (EURO)1.5 billion a year earlier. Sales were flat at (EURO)8.5 billion in the quarter. Restructuring costs rose over (EURO)100 million to (EURO)834 million.
The company blamed the loss of U.S. patent protection on key drugs Plavix and Avapro cost it (EURO)1.3 billion last year.
Sanofi warned its core earnings per share could fall up to 5 percent this year, after a 12.8 percent drop in 2012.

Scorpion Zero - Pirelli's New 4X4 Technology
A unique, ultra high performance tire for the latest generation sport utility vehicles and light trucks.Predominantly for on-road use, Scorpion Zero offers high speed comfort, low noise levels, precision handling and quick steering response. Its technical characteristics ensure maximum performance, safety and excellent traction. The exclusive "Z" tread pattern, low profile and characteristic yellow scorpion on the sidewall, make this eye-catching design the ideal choice for the ultimate 4x4 change-overs, including those with wider alloy wheels. A class leader, Scorpion Zero gives expression to the most powerful 4WD with all the Pirelli style and safety.
DO NOT PURCHASE THESE TIRES! They were stock tires on recently purchased LR4. Were bald by 18,000 miles. Failed inspection at 20,000 miles. Completely unreliable. Pirelli does not warranty these tires. Complete waste of money. Avoid at all cost. Land Rover has contract with them, so ask for ANY OTHER tire before taking the car off their lot. You will almost certainly need new tires by 1 year. Horrible in the snow.

I purchased these tires for my wife's suv. In 4000 miles these tires have worn down to 2/32nd in the rear and 6/32 in the front. My wife is the safest driver I have ever met, I assure you she isn't drag racing her suv on the weekends. I have been forced to buy a new pair of tires, and have only had them for 10 months, which means another grand out the door. This is pathetic, and when I called Pirelli I was told that I have the Asimmetrico tires (which I don't) then I was told all scorpion zero tires are high performance and offer no warranty at all, and the best they could do is offer me 10% off my next set of tires. What a Joke. I have 4 cars, three of which have Pirelli tires on them and once the tread ware on each of them warrants replacement I will not be going back to Pirelli.

Australian driver - very experienced off-road here. I use my diesel FL2/Freelander 2 for long trips, gravel, exploring, and some suburban running. These are simply the best tires for this vehicle, for everything but wear. (Can't comment on snow, but...) Most notable feature; for a high-speed tire, their grip in clay/mud is astonishing. Would probably work equally well with the 'Discovery Sport'. Suit someone who actually does go off-road (but the best off-road tyres are on r17). Not cheap, but one can get bargains on-line. Recommended with caveats. Got about 30,000km.

In Australia so snow isn't an issue. Long distances and hot weather are though. Car handles well enough but was disappointed with the durability. OEM tyres lasted 40,000 km while the Pirellis were pretty much gone at 30,000 km. To be fair this might have been partially due to a not so flash wheel alignment. Am going to try another brand this time.

|In response to Blanco Rules!!!
I would check out the Blanco website if I were you. Blanco is one of the best, if not best, in the business making composite sinks, including their attention to detail, materials, workmanship, etc. In addition, to stainless steel sinks, in which they were one of the first to introduce this material into sinks, they also offer composite sinks called Silgranit, Silacron, and a new offering only available right now in Europe called Silduran. Sigranit is 80% pure granite and has a matte like finish and Silacron is Quartz material with a high gloss finish. Being that Blanco is a German based company their quality should be no secret, but it still is in the US for their composite sinks. Their composite sinks are all the rage in Europe! They spend little on advertising and make up for it with their final product. I have just purchased one of their Silgranit sinks and am thoroughly pleased with every aspect of the sink. Right now all their composite sinks are not available in the US. Thus, my recent trip to Canada to pick up the sink I needed because of non-standard cabinet dimensions because this sink was not marketed in the US. Blanco is also about the only composite sink manufacturer with specialized sink sizes. Most manufacturers only offer sinks that are 33" x 22" in size. Blanco also incorporates many innovative features into some of their sinks. They are also only one of a few that also "pack all of the extra's in the box" (i.e. drain assembly, sink clips, etc.) which most other sink manufacturers charge additionally for. Blanco is worth a look-see....Be aware that the Blanco Canada web site has many more composite sink selections available than the Blanco US website.
As for the Americast sinks; I've read a lot of hard luck stories.
: We are in the process of renovating the entire kitchen. I love how the americast double sink looks, however, some people tell me that the I may have problems with chipping and are trying to talk me into stainless steel. Can anyone give me some feedback on the durability of the americast sink?

Groton - The Poquonnock Bridge Fire District Board voted Thursday to move firefighters out of 13 Fort Hill Road - one of its two fire stations - to save money.
Fire Chief Todd Paige said firefighters still would be able to reach the most developed areas of the fire district, including Midway Oval, within 5 minutes. Response times to other locations east of the Fort Hill station could increase by 3 minutes depending on the location, he said.
But, Paige said, the decision was better than the alternatives - running out of money or laying off firefighters.
"I'm comfortable with doing this," he said. "It's not ideal, but considering we're looking at not having enough funds to make it to the end of the year, I'm comfortable with this recommendation."
The board will continue to lease the Fort Hill station and maintain the fire marshal's office there, but would use the rest of the station only to store equipment.
The decision would save on heat and maintenance costs for the building, board member Ron Yuhas said.
Paige said the department also would be able to save money by using a fire department pickup truck to respond to medical calls rather than an engine.
The district's two fire stations each have one engine. Both those engines now will be based at Long Hill Road station. Both will still be used to respond to fire calls and to some medical calls. But the department plans to stock its pickup with additional medical equipment so it can be used on some calls instead of an engine, Paige said.
"We need the flexibility of having everybody together so we increase our options on how we respond," he said.
The board approved the change 3-2, with board President Alan Ackley breaking a tie vote. Board members Randy Ackley and Yuhas voted in favor, while board members Kenneth Richards III and Deb Monteiro voted against. The remaining four board members were absent.
"It's not a perfect solution, but we're not going to have enough money under the projections and we have to save money where we can," Paige said. "We have to do what we can to sustain the department through the rest of the year."
The board also decided to proceed with sending a letter to businesses warning them that they should no longer depend on the box alarm system, but instead should make other arrangements. The board is not dismantling the system, but it plans to fund only minimum maintenance. The letter is intended to warn businesses that, within 90 days, the system may not work as it should and they should make other plans.
Paige said he has sent a request to Groton Utilities to eliminate the 48 red lights above the district's fire boxes. Powering them costs about $214 a month.
Board members are drafting a letter to be reviewed by Paige and then sent to the 216 affected businesses, which include restaurants, shopping center managers, day care centers and health care facilities.

Denim jackets, calm, cool and collectively hip, will add a fun edge to any outfit. Here are a few different styles that caught my eye. How gorgeous is the Mr. Freedom denim peacoat? Nautical never looked sexier.
The kind of jacket every woman should have in her closet. A fresh take on the classic in a cropped silhouette.
From Mister Freedom, a designer known for his vintage-inspired designs and devotion to authenticity, comes this reproduced denim peacoat, modeled after a merchant Navy sailor's jacket dating back to 1910.
Details, details, details…this jacket has been overdyed black with a fugitive pigment dye which is an unstable and un-permanent dye that fades to later show the indigo denim underneath. Essentially this is a denim that begins black and fades to indigo in high friction areas, or what the Japanese call the "atari" fade.
80's reprise with stonewashed denim, long batwing sleeves, and twin buckle fastening.

Re: Obsessive Teen Name Loving(:
Oh my goodness, as a teen I was craaazy about names! I still own about 7 baby name books that are scribbled and written all over and a few of them are falling apart from all the overuse!
When I was a teenager I loved the name Tibia. Yes, the bone. I was dead set on it for quite awhile. I wanted girl twins, Tibia and Treinta (30 in Spanish). I don't know what I was thinking!
Now, my sister is a teenager and likes names like I did. She likes the names LeeRoy and Jamal. I'm hoping she grows out of this phase!
And for all you teens, from a former name-obsessed teens, it gets so much harder when you are actually expecting! I have so many names I like that I don't know what to do with, and it's almost impossible to narrow them down!-Kourtni

Re: Obsessive Teen Name Loving(:
Hey! I just found this site and am basically in heaven. I'm a teen as well (well, 18, so almost not a teen anymore). I've loved names for as long as I can remember. My sister and Mom used to think I was crazy for naming my dolls names like Olive, Daisy and Peaches and it cracks me up that years later names like Olive and Daisy (maybe not so much Peaches...) are on the rise! I have an ever growing list of names that is ridiculously long at this point. My favorites at the moment are:
Juliet Ivy
Alma Louise
Imogen Sage
Liberty Sloane
Iris Elisabeth
Silas Rhett
Judah Grant
Robert Dashiell
Edward Knox
Ferris James
I look forward to posting here often! It's awesome to know that there are other name loving teens out there :)"Four be the things I'd have been better without: love, curiosity, freckles and doubt." -Dorothy Parker

Stark calls up Barr and Davidson
Midfielders Darren Barr and Murray Davidson have been called up to the Scotland squad to face Luxembourg.
- Related Content
- Profiles
St Johnstone midfielder Davidson's call-up was confirmed by the Scottish Football Association while Hearts revealed Barr had been picked.
Caretaker manager Billy Stark has now added seven players to his original squad after nine withdrew on Sunday.
Barr has one Scotland cap, earned while a Falkirk defender in a goalless draw against Northern Ireland at Hampden in August 2008.
His career stalled after a move to Hearts but he finally won a regular first-team place earlier this year after being converted to a defensive midfielder.
The 27-year-old scored in the William Hill Scottish Cup final win over Hibernian and has been an ever-present this season.
Davidson, 24, is uncapped but was previously called up for matches against Faroe Islands in November 2010 and Brazil in March 2011.
The call-ups mean Stark now has 19 players booked to travel to Luxembourg tomorrow lunchtime.
Stark handed debut calls to Kilmarnock midfielder Liam Kelly, Hibernian striker Leigh Griffiths and Inverness midfielder Andrew Shinnie on Sunday.
Huddersfield left-back Paul Dixon, who played in the opening World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Macedonia, and St Mirren goalkeeper Craig Samson were also brought in.
Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall (groin), Sunderland pair Phil Bardsley (hamstring) and Steven Fletcher (ankle), midfielders Shaun Maloney (abdominal), Barry Bannan (knee), Charlie Adam and James Morrison (both groin), Blackpool winger Matt Philips (toe) and QPR forward Jamie Mackie (ankle) all pulled out.
Davidson told St Johnstone's official website: "I'm delighted. I've been involved before and got on the bench in games against the Faroes and Brazil but have been out of the scene for a wee while so it's great to be given this chance."
Griffiths admitted he was surprised by his call-up.
The 22-year-old scored his 12th goal of the season as Hibs went top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Dundee United.
Griffiths told his club's official website: "I'm delighted - I didn't think I had a chance. I'm just so happy that I'm making my kids proud of me.
"I've been pleased with how everything has gone for me and the team so far this season. I've already beaten my tally for last season and I just want to see where it takes me.
"I've scored 12 goals, but that is because the rest of the boys have been creating the chances for me - it's been a team effort.
"Everybody is working hard towards achieving the same goal - winning games for Hibs."

Chelsea are not hypocrites - Buck
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has hit back at criticism of the club and insisted they are not hypocrites for supporting skipper John Terry and at the same time lodging a complaint against referee Mark Clattenburg.
- Related Content
Buck says Chelsea have a "duty of care" for Terry even if he has done something wrong - he was banned for four matches for racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand - and that the club would have been "crucified" if they had not reported to the FA allegations that Clattenburg used inappropriate language interpreted as racist towards John Obi Mikel.
Buck told the Evening Standard: "Suppose we had tried to sweep this under the rug and said to the various players, 'Look, it's not a big deal and the press are going to be all over us, maybe you want to reconsider'. If that had leaked out, we would've really been crucified."
He added: "The press seem to juxtapose 'our support' of John Terry and what's going on here and looking at us as being a bit hypocritical. We have to divorce the John Terry situation from this. From our perspective, the latest situation was pretty straightforward. We have an obligation to report what may be misconduct. We did that, in good faith and not maliciously."
Buck insisted that Terry does not run the club, but admits there has been numerous incidents involving the skipper.
He said: "We have a duty of care to John Terry in loco parentis. Not that, if he did something wrong, we weren't going to say he didn't do anything wrong. But we have to support him as a person. That's different from saying that, no matter what Terry does, we approve.
"I can't argue with the fact that, over the last 10 years, there have been a lot of public incidents in which Terry and Chelsea were involved. But I don't accept that we have something in our hearts that says we're going to chase the referees. It's just not like that at all, honest.
"Chelsea are not run by John Terry. I don't know how I can prove it to you but it's not true. My club is run by Roman Abramovich."
Buck also insisted the complaint against Clattenburg was not sparked by anger over the referee's decisions during the 3-2 defeat by Manchester United. The official strenuously denies the allegations that he abused Mikel.
Buck said: "The reaction has been very unfair. We weren't interested in any confrontation with the referee or anybody else, we had no thoughts of revenge on the referee. He made two obvious mistakes (sending Fernando Torres off and allowing Javier Hernandez's offside winner) which changed the tide.
"I felt we had the moral high ground, so I didn't really feel that bad about the defeat or have that feeling in my stomach. I thought we'd be treated very kindly in the newspapers the next day. It (the decision) was made after a great deal of anguish and after talking long and hard that evening about what should we do."
Buck said FA guidelines and employment law obliged them to follow through with the complaint.
Meanwhile, Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay admitted that Chelsea, who last week announced a £1.4million profit, would have been facing another major loss had they not won the Champions League.
He said: "You don't budget to win the Champions League every year and we were looking down the barrel of the Europa League.
"We don't ever want to find ourselves in that situation again. The financial difference between the two competitions is vast.
"It would have put a lot more pressure on the commercial side of the business.
"You could still be successful in the Premier League but the monies that come from the Europa League are nowhere near."
Gourlay said without the cash from the Champions League the club would have found it much harder to start to comply with UEFA's financial fair play rules.
He added: "We'd have still got reasonably close to achieving our goal but we'd have fallen short."

Minimalistic in design, Black Diamond's new Ozone/Aura is departure from the typical light and uncomfortable conundrum of harness design. Using Black Diamond's Kinetic Core Construction, the Ozone/Aura is able to displace weight over a wider surface area than other harnesses in its weight class.
Featherweight champion? Maybe. . .
The harness is geared for the serious sport climber, and it is not a successor to the ever popular Chaos. It is meant to satisfy the rice cake consuming gram counters, and it does so effectively. Weighing in at a mere 320g (11oz), the Ozone/Aura is Black Diamond's lightest butt rig. Trad climbers may find the minimalistic design leaves something to be desired, but the Ozone/Aura is just that- a minimalistic harness meant to cater to those wanting a featherweight harness for redpointing projects. In spite of this, the Ozone/Aura is incredibly supportive for its weight. At times, the svelteness of the Ozone/Aura caused concern for its whereabouts, only to discover it was secured to my waist. Sport climbers looking for featherweight security from a harness without sacrificing comfort can find out more about Black Diamond's Ozone/Aura @ www.bdel.com.
