Ross Thomas Creative
CLIENTELE: Disney, Capcom, Jack Daniels, Gatorade, Dulux, Selfridges, & very.co.uk. WHY DO I DO THIS? I grew up in 2 places at the same time. Half my childhood was spent in the beautiful countryside of Shropshire & the rest in the metropolis of Birmingham. My parents launched, managed, and sold businesses throughout my life, and I was always helping out and seeing how things were done. Whether I was packing stock, moving furniture, speaking to suppliers, managing staff, or helping with advertising ideas. Much of my sense of business I learned from them. They helped me realise that achieving goals is based on hard work & determination. It will eventually pay off & you can always learn from the journey. My mother and father always seemed to remember everyones names and took the time to learn about the people that they came into contact with. They taught me that great relationships made success possible for their partners, their clients & themselves. Artistically gifted in their own right, my parents encouraged me to develop my creative talents. But, they always stressed the importance of maintaining an equitable balance between criticism and praise. I learned from them the steady and honest pathway to improving oneself. As I grew up I was determined to make a living from a creative business and worked hard to develop the artistic talent I'd inherited and make relationships with people in need of my services. I studied illustration & graphic design at college, and went to university and developed skills in prose, poetry & scriptwriting. I also taught myself to play several instruments, write, perform & compose. I have won awards for art & music. After university I gained experience as a concept artist, a sales executive, trainer & account manager. I then went into business for myself and started a vintage clothes business whilst running an Illustration & Design service. Having a background working first-hand in business and across several creative fields has afforded me a qualified understanding of design, illustration, film, web, music & marketing. I launched rossthomascreative to use everything I've been lucky enough to learn on my journey. I hope I can be part of yours.

Usually personal fitness or coaching not a cry for help it's an honest realisation that my life is not going to plan and I need some assistance. A bit like the Watson computer used by banks governments etc for information purposes and as IBM said its the one thing that's worth more used than new...the older it gets the more information it has at its disposable. That's like lany training you can't do it all yourself especially when your on the treadmill of life. Experience emotional intelligence and a combination of other mentoring skills help you to unlearn synaptic pathways that cause repetitive negative behaviours especially in a competitive society like ours. Taking a novel approach to health and excersise incorporating the control of higher brain function is essential for long term control of your health in the future. Excersise is outdoor based or indoor gym based. World class former athlete.

Super Rugby reaches double figures as we head into Round 10, with the Blues, Reds, Lions and Brumbies all in action on Friday.
Super Rugby reaches double figures as we head into Round 10, with the Blues, Reds, Lions and Brumbies all in action on Friday.
First up, the Aucklanders and Queenslanders will look to return to the winners circle when the trans-Tasman rivals clash at Eden Park
Then it's over to the Republic, where the Brumbies will be banking on maximum points against the toothless Lions and retain top spot in the Aussie conference.
There are six games in total, while the Rebels, Bulls and Sharks have the bye.
Blues v Reds
Eden Park, Auckland
The struggling Blues host the battling Reds in a repeat of last year's Super Rugby semi-final.
It's hard to fathom this season's rock-bottom Blues and 11th-placed Reds were contesting for a place in the 2011 final at Suncorp Stadium.
Granted, the Reds have suffered with a substantial amount of injuries with a player added to their neverending casualty list after almost every game.
The Aucklanders – last with just a single win this season – have also sustained their fair share of injuries but remain top-heavy with All Blacks.
Indeed, while the under-achieving Blues are running last in the competition following six straight losses, they still boast a quality roster and have been close to toppling the Highlanders and Sharks in the past fortnight.
They will start favourite against the travelling Reds, who must now string some victories together to ensure they qualify for the finals to try to defend their title.
Easier said than done, but with just five points seperating them from the Australian conference-leading Brumbies, anything can happen.
If the Brumbies slip up to the Lions and the Waratahs lose to the Crusaders, a bonus-point win for the Queenslanders at Eden Park will see the current title holders move to second place in their conference. However, if they lose and the Force beat the Stormers, the Reds drop to fourth and will be left with an even bigger mountain to climb.
The Blues are well and truly out of it. They're firmly rooted to the bottom of the New Zealand conference on 12 points with their closest Kiwi rivals (the fourth-placed Hurricanes) thirteen points clear of the pre-season tournament favourites.
Pat Lam's troops only have pride left to play for and against a Reds outfit desperate to halt their own slide, the Blues coach felt it wouldn't get any easier for his team this week.
"We are completely backs to the wall… it's about individual pride now, pride in the Blues, and pride in who we are," he said.
"That's what we've got to keep fighting for."
Prediction: This has been an even battle over the years with both teams winning eight matches each and there's been one draw. But as we all know, things haven't been going according to plan for both sides which makes this one tough to call. Draw would be a fair call, but we'll back the Blues to finally come good… by four points!
The teams:
Blues: 15 Hadleigh Parkes, 14 George Moala, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Rudi Wulf, 10 Gareth Anscombe, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Luke Braid (c), 5 Filo Paulo, 4 Ali Williams, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Tom McCartney, 1 Tevita Mailau.
Replacements: 16 James Parsons, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Liaki Moli, 19 Chris Lowrey, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Michael Hobbs, 22 Benson Stanley.
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Digby Ioane, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Rod Davies, 10 Ben Lucas, 9 Will Genia, 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Beau Robinson, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Ben Daley.
Replacements: 16 Albert Anae, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 19 Jake Schatz, 20 Ed Quirk, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Anthony Faingaa.
Referee: Craig Joubert (South Africa)
Lions v Brumbies
Coca-Cola Park Stadium, Johannesburg
The lowly Lions will be looking to regain some momentum with a win against the Brumbies in Johannesburg on Friday, before heading on their overseas tour.
The Lions are one spot from the bottom of the overall ladder and have lost six straight after posting their lone victory at home against the Cheetahs in week one.
To the team's credit, they have conceded only 19 tries, while scoring just 10 and only two teams – the Sharks and Bulls – have managed four-try bonus points against them. They also came close in matches against in-form teams such as the Stormers and the Hurricanes.
So while they're lacking in victories, John Mitchell's pride aren't as bad as their Super Rugby record suggests.
"We're suffering because we have a few players playing Super Rugby who shouldn't be playing Super Rugby," said Mitchell.
"Unfortunately the Lions have not been a place of patience in recent times and now there is no other option but to be patient."
Meanwhile, the Brumbies are third on the combined log as Australian conference leaders, and have managed four wins in their first campaign under Jake White against four losses.
They did very well running the Bulls so close at Loftus last weekend, but the success of the Brumbies on their South African safari will be determined by the result at Coca-Cola Park.
"I think the tour would be regarded a success if we manage to get the maximum points on Friday night," said White.
While the Brumbies will probably run out as favourites, it's been five long years since the Brumbies last won at Coca-Cola Park (14-9 in 2007).
They lost in 2009, but also conceded defeat to the South Africans in Canberra last year – the Lions' first ever win in the Australian capital since the Cats franchise split before the 2006-season.
Prediction: The Brumbies deserved to win last week, they outscored the Bulls five tries to two but still lost. They showed some good touches, as they have all season thus far, so it's hard to bet against them picking up a win in the City of Gold. Brumbies by 12!
The teams:
Lions: 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Deon van Rensburg, 13 Jaco Taute, 12 Alwyn Hollenbach, 11 Lionel Mapoe, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Tian Meyer, 8 Joshua Strauss (c), 7 Derick Minnie, 6 Cobus Grobbelaar, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Patric Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Jacobie Adriaanse, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Christo le Roux, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 Butch James, 22 Michael Killian.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Fotu Auelua, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Leon Power, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore (c), 1 Ruaidhri Murphy.
Replacements: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Sam Carter, 19 Ita Vaea, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Tevita Kuridrani.

Documents obtained by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show then Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder authorized members of the FBI to provide explosives to Oklahoma City bombing criminals Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols immediately prior to the April, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.
Holder had authorized the FBI to provide the explosives to McVeigh and Nichols in conjunction with a Clinton Administration undercover operation named PATCON, an acronym for Patriot Conspiracy. As Jesse Trentadue describes it, PATCON was designed to infiltrate and incite militia[s] and evangelical Christians to violence so that the Department of Justice could crush them.
Both Waco and Ruby Ridge are now known to have been PATCON inspired, Department of Justice plots. Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, Holder instructed FBI agents to recover from Terry Nichols any remainder of the explosives the Bureau had provided him and McVeigh.
To the chagrin of Eric Holder, the explosives were later discovered by another agency, complete with the fingerprints of both Nichols, McVeigh and 2 FBI agents.
Holder had reportedly offered Nichols respite from the death penalty for his cooperation in recovering the explosives. Obviously the Deputy Attorney General considered covering up his criminal complicity in the bombing eminently worth sparing Nichols just punishment for the murders of 168 innocent Americans.
Jesse Trentadue accidentally came across PATCON while investigating the murder of his brother Kenneth at the hands of the Clinton Department of Justice.
An FBI informant familiar with the Oklahoma City bombing story, Kenneth was found hanged in his cell after having been jailed by the FBI. Though an official FBI report had listed Kenneth as a suicide, it was obvious that he had been severely beaten and his throat cut

No Iraqi Republican Guardsmen were given asylum. What they did was take off their uniforms and blend into the general population.
The ones we brought back were supposedly the ones that had opposed the government and were therefore on our side and likely to be harmed if left behind.
The problem was (as usual) we did a crappy job of vetting. Lot's of bad guys were brought over here thinking they were good guys, while lots of actual good guys were left over there.
And NO government agency did any kind of watching. There is some number (I believe it is about two and a half thousand) that remain unaccounted for today.
So, you are saying that it is common knowledge that IRG agents and other Iraqi
agents snuck into the U.S. as defectors but our gov didn't watch them at all?
Actually, it's worse than that. There WAS an FBI agent that was all over it, and he was told to back off by his higher ups. He was so disgusted that he fed information to a TV reporter that wrote an excellent book on the subject ("The Third Terrorist, Jayna Davis). I recommend it highly.
The book is thoroughly sourced and uses actual names and faces of real people. That opens a writer up to libel and slander litigation if any of it is not true. Nobody has sued her. And that speaks volumes.
Apparently the clintoon administration liked that the crime was being blamed on "militia groups" and white Anglo Saxon males. It played perfectly into the hildabeast's "vast right wing conspiracy" BS.
Was Timothy McVeigh Working for Bin Laden & Al Qaeda?
I don't think it's true that the FedGov wasn't watching Iraqi ex-pats.
no satire he allegedly provided explosives to McVeigh
The truth was owed to the victims and all Americans in each case. Yet shortly after GWB was elected, his administration made the decision that all of those things were 'history' and made no attempt to get to the bottom of any of them.
Really a sad development in my opinion. I'm afraid that those events are now far enough in the rear view mirror that we will never get to the truth.
Not to mention China Gate. The truth may come out someday but the time for justice is receding the rear view mirror.
Now that I think about it, no.
conspiracy stories??? I think not.
Actually it was only four years between his conviction and execution. Convicted on June 2, 1997 and executed on June 11, 2001.
Your post makes no sense. There has been no discussion of any conspiracy here. Are you stalking me?
I strongly suspect this is a bunch of BS.
Sock puppet? Well that is a new one for you. Makes no sense to me either. Shaking my head!
I don't get it, pandy.
Lmao, but seriously, I checked his recent last few days of posting to you & he certainly fits being a stalker. I wonder just who he is.....Sure seems to have it out for you.
You stated it was only 4 years from conviction to execution of McVeigh, that is very quick.
Conspiracy?? well, I believe Clinton did say something along the lines of "it was good for his reelection", put it together with the "militia" witch-hunt that was going on, Ruby Ridge, Waco, gun control.
Something is rotten
As much as I dislike Holder, I would still say that there is about a 100% chance that this is BS.
They didn't say "we have new information leading in a different direction" or "we will have to wait for an official investigation" or "sources tell us it wasn't ME terrorists." They just dropped it like it had never been said and no one had ever thought it. Then Billy Slick Bubba threw his "talk radio" theory out there a couple of days later.
It was many years later here on FR that I first heard of Jayna Davis and her work and we had our own sleuth, OKCSubmariner, who knew her and did his own independent investigating.
Nothing was ever so rotten in Denmark. Not even Hamlet was as sordid as all this.
There are so many things we will never know about this, JFK, WTC, Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.,etc.,etc.
Many think this was in revenge to the Waco Branch Dividian burning under CLINTONS reign, the FBI office was in the Murrah Building in OKC and the main FBI officer (Ricks?),in charge at WACO, was from the OKC office, they wanted him, missed though.
Our government is VERY ROTTEN, and all things are possible with them, proving is another matter. At least I know what I saw with my own eyes, there was an ARAB man caught and let go VERY QUICKLY.
It was firmly established at the time that Nichols purchased virtually all of the ammonium nitrate at the co-op in McPherson, KS.
Which bears no relationship to the FBI...
Bump to find.

Is there any reason I'm getting page not found on your link?
Did any of this turn out to be true? Or is this satire?
AG Eric Holder was responsible for 168 deaths in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing
and more
So you're a lawyer- or an author? This has to be the oldest reply I've ever received. I had completely forgotten about this thread, seeing as how it was three plus years ago.
It wouldn't be the longest time span I've gotten a reply back. FWIW your post was six months after the thread was posted.

Skip to comments.Lawyer urges snowbirds to cast their votes (to help Kerry)in Florida
Posted on 10/03/2004 9:04:29 PM PDT by FairOpinion
BOCA RATON In the muddled aftermath of Election 2000, Lawrence Caplan lost a legal fight and learned an important political lesson at the hands of none other than Vice President Dick Cheney:
You can live in one state and vote in another.
Caplan, a tax and corporate lawyer, has turned that lesson into Operation: Snowbird, an Internet tool designed to make a difference in the election of 2004 if Democratic voters in New York and New Jersey respond to it.
POPULAR PAGESAll they have to do, according to Caplan's Web site, www.operationsnowbird.com, is switch their registrations to Florida, where their votes are more likely to be needed by the Kerry-Edwards ticket than in the deep "blue" states up north. (The last day to register for the Nov. 2 election is Oct. 4.)
New York went for Gore-Lieberman by more than 1.7 million votes, while the official margin for Bush-Cheney in Florida was 537. If only 600 of the 2.2 million votes cast for the Democratic ticket in New York had been cast in Florida, according to the Snowbird site, the state's electoral votes and the presidency would have gone to Al Gore.
"We don't know how close this election is going to be," Caplan said. "If we get 10,000 people to switch it's worth it."
But they'd better heed the instructions on the Web site, because Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood is on the warpath over a New York newspaper's claim last month that at least 46,000 New York City dwellers are registered both there and in Florida, and some have been voting in both places. That's voter fraud, a federal crime with a fine of $10,000 and up to five years in prison.
Hood has asked the FBI and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to investigate the allegations and advise the state Division of Elections how to deal with the problem of multiple registration.
Caplan's Web site warns voters emphatically about the penalties for trying to vote in two states and lays out the process for moving registration legally. It says anyone is eligible who maintains a mailing address in Florida and intends to make the state his or her legal residence at some unspecified time.
"(Y)ou do not even have to be a homeowner in Florida," the site says, "but could merely be a part-time renter who wishes to become a Florida resident."
The Operation: Snowbird instructions include a list of 15 things that can be used for identification and links for downloading registration forms, checking state election law and contacting all supervisor of elections offices.
"The key is having a mailing address," Caplan said in an interview. "Whether you're renting, or own it, or it can be your mother's address. If you have a driver's license, a Florida ID card or even just a utility bill with your name and address on it, then you can register to vote, effective immediately, just like there was no waiting period for Cheney in Wyoming."
Constitution forces Cheney switch
As the nation focused on who would get Florida's electoral votes in 2000, Caplan filed suit in Miami federal court to stop Texas' 32 electoral votes from going to George W. Bush and Cheney. Both were legal residents of Texas, the suit said, and the U.S. Constitution's 12th Amendment forbids a state's Electoral College delegates from casting their votes for both a president and vice president from the same state.
Cheney lived, worked, voted and claimed homestead exemption in Texas during the 1990s, while he was CEO of the Halliburton Co. energy conglomerate. Just before he became Bush's running mate, he flew to Wyoming, where he grew up and still owned property, and switched his voter registration and driver license. That, his lawyers would later argue, made him an "inhabitant" of Wyoming and provided a loophole around the 12th Amendment.
Caplan's suit was rejected on jurisdictional grounds in Miami, then refiled by other lawyers in Texas. There, it was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater, a conservative Republican for whom George P. Bush Gov. Jeb Bush's son, who got married last month has clerked since finishing law school at the University of Texas at Austin.
A three-member panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals two appointed by George H.W. Bush and one by Ronald Reagan upheld Fitzwater's ruling. But the U.S. Supreme Court, after reversing the Florida Supreme Court to halt the recount of the state's ballots and give Bush the presidency, declined to hear an appeal of the 12th Amendment suit.
"What happened four years ago was totally unplanned, a reaction to what was going on around me," Caplan said in an interview. "I'm not a political animal, I have no party involvement, I'm registered as an independent, I vote for the person, not the party."
But he said controversy over touch-screen voting systems, the Bush administration's failure to fund the Voter Education Act and the debacle over a list of 40,000 felons the state proposed to purge from voter rolls "kind of ticked me off."
That emotion spawned the Web site for snowbirds slang for Northerners who spend winters in Florida.
Weston Cowan, 22, a recent college graduate working in New York City, said he definitely intends to take advantage of Caplan's instructions and switch his registration back to Broward County, where his parents own property.
"I just really don't like George Bush," Cowan said, "and I figure my vote doesn't really count much in New York because the Democrats are going to win anyway."
Democratic and Republican reaction to the snowbird initiative is predictably partisan.
"The Democratic Party always welcomes more voters in Florida," said Carol Ann Loehndorf, head of the Palm Beach County Democratic Executive Committee. "We're happy to have more voters down here, but I wouldn't want anybody to have a personal loss by losing their homestead exemption in New York."
Loehndorf's GOP counterpart, Sid Dinerstein, also cited homestead exemption as an issue. He called the plan "just another way that Democrats exploit (people), particularly seniors, in their quest for ever more illegitimate power.
"Democrats, across the country, steal votes, whether it's slightly legal or slightly illegal. This guy probably protected himself with all his caveats, but if somebody does what he says and votes here, they could be in danger of losing their homestead exemption."
Will some vote early and often?
The Web site maintains that anyone who intends to take up legal residence, even for a brief time, can legally register to vote and then transfer the registration back later. Voter registration can be used as identification when claiming homestead exemption, according to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's office, but claiming exemptions in two places would be a crime.
Theresa LePore, Palm Beach County's supervisor of elections, said after reviewing the Web site that her main concern would be about double voting.
"He was very careful to put all the caveats about changing their legal residence, so we can't say it's not legal," LePore said. "Hopefully, they won't be committing a felony."
Caplan's caveats got a grudging approval from Secretary of State Hood's office, which oversees the state Division of Elections.
"While the intent of the Web site may be irresponsible," press secretary Jenny Nash said, "it has all the right words."
Electoral expert Allan Lichtman, chairman of the history department at American University in Washington, said he saw nothing illegal or unethical about using a residence in Florida as a basis for voter registration.
"This is someone taking advantage, very shrewdly, of our Electoral College system where, unfortunately, votes count more in some states than in others," said Lichtman, author of The Keys to the White House and of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights study of Florida ballots rejected in the 2000 election.
"It would be a little hard for Republicans to say this is illegal, having shipped Alan Keyes (from Maryland) to Illinois to run for the U.S. Senate."
Caplan, a lawyer found out that in Florida there is some loophole, that if you have any mailing address in Florida, that you claim as part time residence, and say that you intend to live there at some unspecified time in the future, you can vote there.
Caplan started a website: www.operationsnowbird.com, which gives detailed instructions of how to do that.
He actually said on TV, that he wants Democrats who live in safe states for Dems, like NY & CA to register and vote in Florida, instead of in their home states.
Of course many of these people will probably vote twice, both in their own states and in Florida. But even if they only vote once, this still should be fraudulent.
Apparently his site is barely on the legal side, but that Florida law should be changed. It's probably too late to change it before the election.
"Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood is on the warpath over a New York newspaper's claim last month that at least 46,000 New York City dwellers are registered both there and in Florida, and some have been voting in both places."
Is anyone actually removing these people from the rolls in Florida?
Well hopefully the hurricanes have sent a bunch of them back north.
Even the ones from Canada?
Perhaps God disagrees with this tactic.
One would think that it would have been more prudent to have promulgated this at the beginning of the campaign.
Ok - at the risk of sounding much more cold-blooded than I am in REAL life -- maybe it's a good thing the hurricanes went thru. Lots of snowbirds headed north or aren't going at all....??? Just a thought!
One would think that it would have been more prudent to have promulgated this at the beginning of the campaign.
Maybe Bush should just "restation" all troops from places like Wyoming,Idaho, Texas and Utah to places like Washington, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
If they throw one or two of these grannys/grampas in jail for voting twice it would stop.
The Dems are already filing lawsuits to even keep people from having to show ID-s.
Campaigns begin mobilizing lawyers (Dems already filing lawsuits)
They fully intend to steal this election.
"and I figure my vote doesn't really count much in New York because the Democrats are going to win anyway."
Not if all of them vote in Florida.
My parents live in Boca Raton (AKA New York South) and have told me that many of their neighbors who are registered in New York have discussed registering in Florida to help "defeat Bush."
Yesterday, a Federal judge in Miami refused to hear the 12th Amendment lawsuit brought by Palm Beach attorney Lawrence Caplan, with an amicus brief by Philadelphia attorney Phil J. Berg with nearly 1,000 plaintiffs recruited by Democrats.com. The suit was rejected because the Florida judge did not want to interfere in Texas politics.
Well, I put in snowbird to search, and that article didn't come up.
There is too little attention being paid to it, anyway.

What is it with leftists and their bizarre attraction to violent, predatory criminals? These dirtbags in prison would just as soon slit Caplan's throat as vote for his candidate. It's the same as their insane desire to have a more "sensitive" approach to terrorism. The liberals are really nuts in the head.

Yeah, but he just happened to file a lawsuit against Cheney, and he just happens to have a website to encourage New Yorkers to vote for Kerry in Florida. Gimme a break!
>>"We don't know how close this election is going to be," Caplan said. "If we get 10,000 people to switch it's worth it."
I don't understand why states allow snowbirds to register
when they are not resident there in the last 30 days
It seems it could also be a TAX scam to avoid some rustbelt state taxes?
thanks for posting this important article.
Hi, Oxen & Joe -- fyi for a Florida and beyond PING.
The easiest way to become an official Florida resident is to file a declaration of domicile. Declaring Florida Domicile is a "question of intent". The courts have ruled that your heart is where your treasure lies. Many households have more than one residence, sometimes more than two, so the matter of "intent" is very important. The fact that one has lived in Florida continuously for six months is not always true.
The Declaration of Domicile which states that you reside at a given address, is notarized and filed with the County Clerk of the Circuit Court of residence. No time constraint is required before one can legally be declared a resident.
For more information, contact the Sarasota County Clerk of Circuit Court, 2000 Main Street, Sarasota, FL. Telephone (941) 362-4066, or go to www.floridadomicile.com.
Interesting: "question of intent" and "your heart is where your treasure lies"
I heard on FNC a couple of weeks ago that Florida had (I think)~40,000 voters that were registered in New York and Florida. That is a felony and they were exploring what it would take to prosecute. Haven't heard a word since.
Good luck, jerkweed lawyer. The deadline is today. (Not that rules ever need to apply to Democrats.)
I don't know if Florida has any game birds, but perhaps they could open a hunting season this year on "snowbirds", with "liberal" bag limits.
Care to call Jeb on this?
...surprisingly I agree with you.
God is in charge of hurricanes...
..this is a reason for these hurricanes......
...who can know the mind of the Lord...
..what if.....just what if.....somehow these hurricanes dissuaded illegal political activity from taking place.....or at least some of it.
Goodness knows the Dems will keep trying to unbalance Florida to the bitter end!!!!
Indeed. Vote fraud, regardless of which side is doing it, undermines the very foundation of our political process. It ought to be prosecuted far more often than it is (I don't mean for simple administrative mistakes, like fortetting to take yourself off your old roll when you move to a different district, but rather deliberate attempts to commit outright fraud). If we as a country are not going to be serious about stopping this nonsense, then Jimmy Carter is right and we really aren't any better than a two-bit banana republic when it comes to our elections.
and Mexico
Start demanding photo ID...either a state drivers license or state ID card in order to vote and prosectuing vote fraud ...and it will drop off...
Those wanted for crimes are not going to show up to vote....and those who fear going to jail are not likely to risk getting caught just to vote..
It's no wonder Gov. Doyle (Democrat) of WI vetoed a bill that would curtail voter fraud and passed by our house and senate...

Buckland Cup Hockey Championship
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paul Calandra Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about wonderful spring in my riding and my hometown of Stouffville.
The Stouffville Spirit has just won the Buckland Cup. The hockey arena in Stouffville was packed to the rafters for every single game of this year's hockey finals.
I feel somewhat sorry for the member for Newmarket—Aurora, because she had to taste bitter defeat at the hands of the Stouffville Spirit not once but twice, as the Stouffville Spirit rolled over Newmarket and then rolled over Aurora. The team then took on Georgetown, wiped it off the map and practised absolutely no austerity when it took on the Whitby Fury and demolished it to win the first ever Buckland Cup.
I am very proud of my home team, the Stouffville Spirit. I congratulate the team on an extraordinary hockey run and on a great final victory. I know my good friend Herb Hoover, a Stouffville Spirit fan who died just before the final game, is very proud and was watching down as the team won its first ever championship for my hometown.
I congratulate the Stouffville Spirit.

Jonathan Tremblay Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, allow me to take a moment to congratulate an athlete from Charlevoix who stands out year after year. I am referring to Dominique Maltais, a snowboarder and snowboard cross specialist.
Since her bronze medal in the Turin Olympic Games in 2006, Dominique Maltais, now aged 31, continues to impress with her rigour, talent and perseverance. For the third time in her career, she has received the Crystal Globe, this time for her achievements in the 2011–12 season. The Crystal Globe is awarded to the athlete who has achieved the best results in the World Cup season.
Ms. Maltais, who had her first snowboarding experience at her doorstep in the Massif de Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, is now preparing for next season. Her goal is still the same: when she leaves the starting blocks, she expects to win.
Once again, congratulations to Dominique Maltais.
The entire region of Charlevoix is behind you and is very proud of you.
Lynne's Legacy Run
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mike Wallace Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like all of Canada to be acquainted with Lynne McTaggart of Burlington. She is a true local hero. Through Reach Forth Sports Ministry, she improved the physical and spiritual health of many youth and families in our community.
She continues to give back through Lynne's Legacy Run. This annual five-kilometre run raises awareness and funds in the fight against cancer.
Lynne is battling cancer. She continues to strive every day to build her own personal positive legacy. Her actions are making a difference. Her decisions reflect her care for others. The run recognizes Lynne's profound and lifelong commitment to Reach Forth ministries, to her running, and to her faith.
On May 21 at Churchill Park in Hamilton, Lynne's Legacy Run will be held once again. The run will not only raise money for the fight against cancer but also honour Lynne McTaggart, a true Canadian hero.
I would like to thank Lynne for her legacy. God bless.
Canadian Unity

2 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Saint-Laurent—Cartierville, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Canada. To be Canadian is one of the best gifts life gives to us.
There are many views and lively debates on how our nation could be improved. One example is my recent proposal for a new way to elect members of Parliament, but we should never doubt that our diversity is a strength for co-operation and a better life for all, from coast to coast to coast.
And even though Canadian unity should never be taken for granted, it is important to always remain hopeful. Some predict that our country will break up because it is too centralized and others because it is too decentralized.
Meanwhile, millions and millions of people across the world dream of being Canadian. We have built an admirable country, thanks in part to the major contribution made by Quebeckers. Together, we must continue to improve Canada and show the world that a big, diverse country can still strive to realize the aspirations and dreams shared by people of good faith.
Long live Quebec and long live a united Canada.

Terence Young Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, in February, the FDA issued a warning that Lipitor and other statins cause memory loss and that 1 out of 200 patients taking statins will develop diabetes, meaning that 20,000 Canadians are at risk. One statin, Baycol, has already been pulled off the market for causing rhabdomyolysis, leading to kidney failure and death.
Other serious adverse effects from statins include cataracts and irreversible neurological damage. Are these risks worth it?
Eighty percent of statins, worth $16 billion a year, are taken by patients who have never had a heart attack and where there is no evidence that the benefits outweighed the risks. That is good for the drug companies and bad for patients.
Most patients can lower their cholesterol with diet change and exercise without the risk of serious adverse effects from statin drugs. Since doctors generally ignore safety warnings from regulators, patients should get the best available evidence on statins from their pharmacists and by doing their own research.

Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to the short-sighted cuts by the Conservative government to public institutions that inform social policy in Canada.
We know that the Conservatives have scrapped the long form census, which provided facts and information. Now they have gone a step further by eliminating funding for the National Council of Welfare. This organization has informed social policy since 1969 by reporting on poverty rates.
My constituents are becoming increasingly concerned that the Conservative government is no longer relying on scientific or factual information. I urge it to reconsider its ill-conceived cuts.
On a positive note, I would like to acknowledge two recent victories for the B.C. NDP. I congratulate Joe Trasolini, the MLA elect for Port Moody—Coquitlam, and Gwen O'Mahoney, MLA elect for Chilliwack—Hope who both won elections in B.C.. This is a good sign that a positive change next year is about to happen.

Dean Allison Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and commend the hard work of the over 12,000 employees of Purolator for their contribution to economic development in Canada. Purolator employs over 250 in my riding and has its main hub at Hamilton airport, which ties into its delivery network for facilities in 111 ridings all across Canada. The partnership of Purolator and Hamilton airport in this economic activity has been vital for Canadian and international businesses that rely on integrated distribution services.
Since his arrival at Purolator in September 2010, Mr. Tom Schmitt has been an exceptional president and CEO who has worked hard to develop sustaining and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Mr. Schmitt and, indeed, all employees have made Purolator a fine example of a Canadian business that puts Canada first. I know all members of Parliament will want to join me today in congratulating Purolator on its more than 50 years of commitment to Canada.

Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, over the last few weeks, I have had an opportunity to attend fundraising campaigns and presentations celebrating the long years of service of volunteer fire brigades in the community of Tobique—Mactaquac.
Volunteer firefighters provide tremendous protection for our rural communities. On a regular basis, they hold fundraisers to purchase new equipment and, in some cases, including this past weekend in Meductic, to help their own in dealing with challenging life situations.
I want to thank each and every one of these brave individuals for their long-term dedication to public safety and to their families whose thoughts and prayers travel with them each time they are called upon for an emergency.
It was a tremendous honour as a member of Parliament to present the Governor General's long service awards for 20 years and 30 years of service and see the pride in the faces of these long-time volunteers, not to mention the incentive of this recognition, along with initiatives like the volunteer firefighter tax credit provided to young volunteers.
These folks are true heroes. I know that all members in the House will join with me in commending our volunteer firefighters for helping to make our rural communities dynamic and strong.

Ruth Ellen Brosseau Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, last weekend, I was in Montreal for Earth Day. I was accompanied by at least 150,000 people who met peacefully to condemn the irresponsible development of our resources and the government's inaction on climate change.
During the march, I met a number of people from Berthier—Maskinongé who made the trip in order to join the green movement. People of all ages walked together in solidarity so that future generations can live on a healthy planet.
We cannot go on ignoring the environment without leaving an enormous liability for future generations. Our region is doing its part and we are working together for the environment. Businesses are adopting environmentally responsible and sustainable principles. I hope the government will hear the message that Quebeckers delivered on Sunday. It is time to take action for the environment and for future generations.

Devinder Shory Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, on April 13, millions of South Asians from multiple faiths celebrated Vaisakhi. A long-time celebration of harvest, Vaisakhi also carries social and religious significance for people of various faiths.
Tonight, I am pleased to be co-hosting our annual Vaisakhi on the Hill celebrations with my Conservative colleagues right here in Centre Block, and I invite all members to attend.
I also thank President Jarnail Singh Nijjar of the Dashmesh Culture Centre in Calgary Northeast for taking the lead in organizing our annual Calgary Vaisakhi parade scheduled for Saturday, May 12.
As Mr. Nijjar told me, Vaisakhi celebrates equality, freedom and justice for all, and reminds us to engage and address the challenges that exist in our society, regardless of caste, creed, gender, religion, age or affiliation.
Those wonderful goals have my full support and, of course, without any doubt, support from all sides of the House. I wish everyone a happy Vaisakhi.

Alexandre Boulerice Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, almost a century ago, the world remained silent when more than 1.5 million Armenians were killed. Eight years ago, this House passed a motion to "acknowledge the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemn this act as a crime against humanity".
This grim and tragic historical event must not be forgotten. The brutal words of Hitler, when he was planning the Holocaust, disturb us still. That monster said, "Who today remembers the extermination of the Armenians?"
This is why we must remember the fate of the Armenians—men, women and children—in the 1915 tragedy. This is why we must commit ourselves to protecting human rights and dignity for all people around the world.
Today, we join with more than 50,000 Canadians of Armenian origin in order to remember the victims of this tragedy. We are also celebrating Armenia's 20 years of independence and we sincerely hope that we are seeing on the horizon the emergence of a future of peace, mutual respect and reconciliation in that part of the world.
On April 24, yerpek tchenk mornal. We will never forget.
Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, during the darkest period of Europe's history, as Nazi Germany sought to exterminate Jews in their Eastern European homelands, we learned of those who chose to speak out against the slaughter and do what is righteous. Among them was Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, the head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church who risked his life and that of his fellow clergy to shelter and rescue Jews from certain death. Thanks to his sacrifice, Metropolitan Sheptytsky saved over 160 Jewish lives.
Leaders of the Ukrainian Council of Churches and religious organizations representing the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths join us in Ottawa today to honour the courageous actions of Metropolitan Sheptytsky. They are hosted by the Canadian group, the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, which has done amazing work to build bridges of mutual understanding between these two communities.
Metropolitan Sheptytsky lived as a model to the world. Let his actions serve as an example to all of us that we should never shrink away from our obligations to stand up against evil and do what is right.
Healthy Schools Day

Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, today is Healthy Schools Day in Canada. Students, teachers, parents and others in our school communities are focused today on improving the indoor environmental quality in school buildings.
Healthy Schools Day was established by Canadians for a Safe Learning Environment in Halifax West and partner organizations across Canada. This group has been very successful in helping to improve the condition of school buildings and raising awareness of products and practices used in schools. This means that students and staff have a safer and healthier place to learn and work.
I ask the House to join me in congratulating CASLE on its work. I encourage all members to join me in promoting Healthy Schools Day.
Liberal Party of Canada

Brad Butt Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, when Liberal dirty trickster, Adam Carroll, was caught circulating the divorce files of a member of this House, he lost his job. Today, after trying to avoid accountability for months, Parliament finally had a chance to question him. Here is what we learned.
First, the Liberal research bureau keeps copies of divorce files of members of the House in cabinet files in its office. This is an abuse of taxpayer money. The Liberal leader needs to explain why the taxpayer funded Liberal research bureau is paying for this.
Second, we learned that Mr. Carroll may have received a massive payoff from the Liberals. After admitting that he was fired for his actions, Mr. Carroll was asked if he was collecting a severance and he refused to answer.
In any workplace, other than the Liberal Party, when one is fired for cause one does not collect severance. Why does the Liberal Party act differently for its own staff with taxpayer money?
New Democratic Party of Alberta

Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Alberta's New Democrats on their excellent showing in last night's election.
New Democrats placed second in Edmonton, earning over 22% of the total vote. Brian Mason and Rachel Notley are returning the legislature to continue the principled, progressive opposition on behalf of Albertans. They will be joined by two more Edmontonians, public health advocate, David Eggen, and education advocate, Deron Bilous.
The NDP increased its share of the popular vote and had strong showings in well-known NDP hotbeds like Lethbridge.
The results of the election will disappoint social conservatives, including those across the way who publicly endorsed the Wildrose Party. Albertans roundly rejected the Wildrose climate change deniers who wished to build a firewall around our province.
I am confident that this strengthened New Democratic Party caucus will hold the premier elect accountable to deliver on her promises to improve environmental protection and access to public health care.

By JANET BROOKSChild Advocacy Manager and Co-chair, Safe Kids UtahPrimary Children's Medical Center
Consumer Reports recently released a scathing report about rear-facing child safety seats failing laboratory tests and implying that it may be unsafe to use certain seats.
While some of the claims may bring about additional research, the users of child safety seats in our state must remain vigilant in the proper use of child safety seats.
Even a questionable seat, not perfectly installed, offers greater protection to a child than one left unrestrained or held on an adult's lap in the vehicle.
Research has proven time and again that rear-facing seats are highly effective in reducing the likelihood of death by more than 70 percent. More frightening than the Consumer findings is the number of older children traveling unrestrained or without the use of belt-positioning booster seats. Years of dedicated effort to inform and educate parents about the importance of proper use of child safety seats should remain the constant. I encourage all parents to "stay the course." Read your child safety seat instructions, the vehicle owner's manual, call a safety seat technician for free assistance (801.662-CARS), and use a child safety seat on every trip.

Skip to comments.Malloy Wins: AP
Posted on 11/05/2010 3:02:50 PM PDT by library user
Dan Malloy has defeated Republican Tom Foley to become the first Democrat in two decades to be elected governor of Connecticut.
The Associated Press on Friday reinstated its call of Malloy as the winner of the governor's race.
The AP initially called Malloy the winner on Wednesday, after Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said her preliminary count showed Malloy had won by 3,103 votes, but withdrew the call Wednesday night when its vote count, with all but a handful of precincts reporting, showed Foley with a narrow lead.
Bridgeport elections officials handed the final numbers over to Bysiewicz on Friday afternoon.
Has a Republican ever won a close race other than Pres. Bush in 2000?
The Democrats always find enough votes to win.
Which begs the question...did he REALLY win? or did they cheat immensely?
It was bloody fixed.
He should call for a recount, or at least an investigation into the "recovered" ballots.
The latter.
Earlier today on the radio I heard they "found" some bags or boxes of votes they'd missed until now. (Not joking.)
Democrat "holds a narrow lead:" Congratulations, Mr. Governor.
The paid for votes weren't found until later.
An uncounted bag of votes suddenly appears...where have we seen that before?
Democrats are stealing the election. I hope Foley follows through and takes it to court.
I heard that too. I bet they were allowed to be used in the final tally. Sickening.
They always keep 10,000 to 20,000 completed ballots in reserve....just in case.
good jpeg FrankR.. then again yours always seem to be directly to the point....
What is the deal with all these close races going to the Dems?? I don't think we've won a single one yet since Tuesday.
i wish the gop will seriously investigate this. Ever since the Bush 2000, every close race recount always go to the DEM. They always find missing ballots. Think the corruption occur with the those who's actually doing the counting? They may need to consider introducing a different voting system to reduce human being involved in the counting
Thanks, I enjoy doing them.
We haven't won one since 2000. We lost the Washington Gov race the same way
Suprise suprise.
They do it because they can.
It's typical. The only way a Republican can win, it seems, is if they have a big majority. Harder to manufacture fake votes in large amounts, I guess.
The soap box, the ballot box, the ammo box.
Do Republicans have NO lawyers???????????
The last precincts to be counted almost always end up being from urban neighborhoods. More often then not those areas favor Democrats. And those are also the ones most likely to have voting problems. They also end up usually staying open late because the line to vote in those neighborhoods are 3-4 hours long...sometimes longer.
Most Republican-rich precincts are from rural areas and don't have the volume that urban areas do. So they are able to count the votes quickly there with limited problems. The Republican need to have a good lead. Because it's usually the Democrat that closes the gap towards the finish line.
And...Foley will quietly fade away...no demand for recount...right?
What a joke, bag full of ballots ? This is one race that cry's out for investigation.
It ain't f'ing rocket science, but they STILL don't seem to get it (especially WIMP Republicans with no balls to FORCE THEM TO BE HONEST).
If the people in CT don't care, why should we?
I hear that this is still another premature call.
1.Voter ID required for ALL VOTERS, PERIOD
2.Proof of CITIZENSHIP when there are questions.
It's the Iron Rule of Elections. Democrats ALWAYS win recounts. Bush in 2000 was an exception only because the Supreme Court stopped them from "finding" more ballots.
lawyers we have plenty of....they need the spines
Wonder if the same asshole left-wing ambulance chasers showed this time in Connecticut (SHOULD be Con,as in,the voters have been conned).
Foley won't just let this go if there is a remote chance.
And...if the Republican candidate is too spineless to fight for an investigation...then there is really nothing anyone can do. I know that if I voted for a candidate that didn't care to make sure the election was fair...I'd be furious!!
Soros bought as many Secretary of State as he could. They control the counting.
We tend to play by rules. They believe the only rule is "There are no rules". Win at any cost, which is easy when you have no soul.
The country-club "R" Pieces-of-S are busy sending the best and brightest lawyers to help RINO murCOWski STEAL the election from a Conservative in AK.
It all had to do with that bag of ballots Rat officials "found".
Is there no such thing as a Democrat with integrity any more?
Aren't there at least a few of them who are sickened by this voter fraud crap?
It will, after all, bring great harm to their own children.
The democrats brought in bags of fake votes after the election.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win," didn't know what they were talking about.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win," didn't know what they were talking about.
"i wish the gop will seriously investigate this. Ever since the Bush 2000, every close race recount always go to the DEM. They always find missing ballots. Think the corruption occur with the those whos actually doing the counting? They may need to consider introducing a different voting system to reduce human being involved in the counting"
I'm stinkin' ticked off about these races...and finding votes...come on people, let's FIGHT.
Democrats "found" bags of ballots.
"Most Republican-rich precincts are from rural areas and dont have the volume that urban areas do. So they are able to count the votes quickly there with limited problems. The Republican need to have a good lead. Because its usually the Democrat that closes the gap towards the finish line."
We should hold back a few bags and boxes of votes in a few of these races and make them magically appear just after the RATS are done with their cheating.
Let's see how they like it...scum...(I'm only half kidding at this point.)
They would have found sacks of uncounted ballots in Florida if the scary young republicans in suits and ties hadn't been there demanding to see what was going on.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Just like last season, the Lady Spartans finished tied for fourth place in Region 8 softball with Delta and now will play a play-off game with those Rabbits for the right to continue playing. Winner to Uintah High School for the first round of State playoffs and the loser stays home and is done with the season. The winner will play the host Uintah Utes.
Emery finished the season with a 4-6 region record and a 9-6 overall record. Last week they lost their last two region contests as they lost to Juan Diego 7-2 in Castle Dale on Tuesday and then traveled to Delta and lost 11-2. At Delta the temperature dropped 30 degrees and the rain and wind made things miserable, as the Emery bats just were not effective this day. The weather enhanced Emery's misery while Delta did not seem as affected by the conditions.
At Delta, Emery was able to score first. In the first inning, Eve Guymon singled and then was brought home on a hit by Carly Anderson that was booted by the Delta right fielder. Delta took the lead in the bottom of the first as they scored three runs on three base hits and an Emery error.
Neither team scored in the second inning but Delta added a run in the third inning on two base hits including a double. Delta also added runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
For the Spartans, Jalee Jensen singled to lead off the third inning but the subsequent Emery batters were unable to score her. In the fourth inning before the weather went to pot, Emery was able to get the first three batters on base. Haylie Hansen singled, Chelsea Skinner and Lacey Erickson each walked to put Emery in great position to score some runs. Unfortunately, the next Emery batters did not co-operate. The next two batters popped up to first base and the third batter struck out to end the inning.
In the fifth inning, Guymon again singled and again scored, this time on a ball hit by Hansen that was bobbled by the Delta fielder. The rest of the game was played in miserable conditions as the weather was lousy and Emery's offensive woes continued.
Three straight strike outs in the sixth inning and three fly balls in the seventh inning ended the game for the Spartans.
Emery now has the opportunity to beat these same Rabbits in a play-in game tomorrow, Wednesday the 10th. The game will be played in Spanish Fork, just like last year. Emery beat these same Rabbits a month ago 5-2 and will be looking to avenge last week's loss along with last season's play-in loss with a resounding win.
