Skip to comments.Cisco founder peddles $335 Thanksgiving turkey
Posted on 11/16/2012 10:55:09 AM PST by illiac
The pitch
Talk about a rare bird. When it comes to setting the Thanksgiving table, the folks at Ayrshire Farm ( Web site ) in Upperville, Va., suggest that no meal is complete without one of their 20 lb.-and-up mail-order turkeys for $335 (shipping included). Of course, its not just any gobbler, but a heritage bird meaning a breed that goes back before the age of mass-market turkeys on commercial farms. And on top of that, its organic and raised to the exacting Certified Humane standards, which guarantees that animals have shelter, resting areas, sufficient space and the ability to engage in natural behaviors, according to the certification organization. Ayrshire says the result is a better bird taste-wise: It is simply a different product than a typical grocery store turkey, says the farm on its Web site. The birds come to customers doors frozen and shipped overnight the shipping alone accounts for $110 of the price tag packed in a sturdy eco-friendly cardboard box, inside an insulated packer with ice blankets, the farm says. (In the extra-value department, the farm adds that all packaging may be recycled and used again.)
The final day to place orders for Thanksgiving is Nov. 16, but the farm says it may have turkeys available next week on a first-come basis (yes, theyre that popular the farm sells as many as 3,000 each season, including several hundred by mail). For those on a tighter budget, Ayrshire, which is the brainchild of tech entrepreneur-turned-farmer Sandy Lerner , sells smaller birds. A 7-8 lb. turkey breast goes for a mere $158 (shipping included).

Didn't know a turkey came with peddles....(gotta love headlines)...
Gotta love liberals. Cry about a penny of budget cuts for the poor, but love to take your money with overpriced environmentally friendly crap.
I think mine cost a little over $20.00 at Walmart at 88 cents a lb.
It probably wasn't spoiled with shelter, resting areas,sufficient space to engage in natural behavior, but it probably got beheaded and gutted the same way this spoiled one did.
Based on the price of the stuff they sell, that's cheap. I've seen Cisco equipment that costs more than my house.
wow that's even more expensive than the whole kosher goose that my local store carries
Yup....my 24 pounder was $20 at Costco....
Our local Albertsons had a 20 -24 pounder for $9.....maybe shoulda waited...
Is anyone else on this thread besides me getting hungry?
actually peddles is the correct word
as in to offer for sale or barter
pedal would not have been the right word
Where are the libs to complain these turkerys lived a better life than the ' poor"
My niece's boyfriend shot a 17-pound wild turkey for our Thanksgiving. I can't speak for the cost, it depends on the value of your time and how you depreciate your guns.
We'll see how the taste compares with these expensive deluxe mail-order birds.
I get mine from one of my neighbors who raises enough chickens and regular brown turkeys for their own use and to sell to neighbors for about 1/2 as much as the supermarket in the city. They sell brown eggs, too-and everything is free range, organic and drug-free without that fancy price. The birds don't come all prepared and wrapped in plastic, but the color and flavor of the meat is great-feedlot type poultry can't compare to naturally farmed...
I was on the Cisco campus last week maintaining their data centers and 150sq ft of those rooms could cost well into the millions.
Sorry, but if you think what you got at Walmart remotely comes close to a Heritage breed turkey you are either utterly ignorant or completely insane.
While I wouldn't pay $300+ for a Heritage Turkey, comparing the mass produced large breasted white to one is laughable.
The mass produced turkey can't even breed naturally its so rediculously malformed from genetic tampering so its breast meat (which is tasteless, dry $#!% BTW) is so ungodly huge the damned things can't even breed.
I am not anti mass produced products, its the only way you can feed the world effectively, but to try to compare the animal you bought at WalMart with a Heritage Bird is like trying to say a Yugo is the same thing as a Bentley.
Fascinating, is it for real ?
It's amazing to me that natural un messed with un breeded to trade off the tasty dark meat for bland dry white meat now constitutes a niche market.
I'm particularly tired of grocery store pork that is so lean that it is now has "tenderness and juiciness improved with up to twelve percent of a patented solution*."
I buy from local farmers whenever I can.
For real as in did I actually do it? No, I just got the picture from elsewhere.
I am, however, about 75% of the way to convincing the Mrs. to let me do it for this coming Thursday.
I have larded lean meat-turkey, venison, quail and doves etc-with bacon before, but isn't that a bit much? Defeats the whole idea of lean meat...
Lean meat? I eat turkey because it's traditional (and I like the taste).
I eat bacon, because it's BACON!
Sounds good...you'd think here in north Idaho we would have something similar....but I have no found one yet...
By this definition, the wild gobbler I shot last month during fall turkey season is even better.
I will not eat the white turkey meat unless I'm starving-my daughter eats my portion. Fortunately, even that tastes better from a non-engineered, free range turkey (or chicken). You can buy free-range pork here in fall (the whole pig, or half of it large or small, slaughtered and butchered) from several small farms. Many of those pigs are raised and bred with captured feral hogs, which are naturally more lean, but also more tasty.
I think the "improved" hogs must be raised feed lot style rather than free range, because the meat tastes like something you would think came from some kind of a replicator in a sci-fi movie. And I shudder to think what that "patented solution" might contain...
I'm ranch-raised myself, so I'm happy to be back to the country where I can eat a natural diet of fresh meat and veggies and afford it.
Brine: the great equalizer.
I will not eat dark meat-anything. Racist, I know.
Now that's a great looking turkey. yum!
Those farmers don't advertise-they are too small, so it is all by word of mouth-and they only sell/barter to the people they know or who are referred by people they know. One neighbor who keeps a few beehives only barters her honey, and never takes cash.
Do you live near a rural area, or know someone who does? That is the way to get into that loop. I barter my home baked bread and fresh herbs to neighbors most winters, but I would not do that with outsiders-I can't produce enough.
We've always joked about going galt out here, but it is not as funny as it used to be...
Simply a matter of taste-I just find white poultry meat tasteless to the dark in comparison. I do not refuse to eat grilled rattlesnake, though-and that is white meat...
It sure looks tasty, but I think one would need a little skill in weaving to get the strips of bacon interlaced like that. If you ever do it, let us know what it's like!
For $335, it should come with Rachel Ray,Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver, Emeril Lagasse, Gordon Ramsay, Wolfgang Puck, Paula Deen, Giada de Laurentiis, Paul Prudhomme and Guy Fieri to cook it.
Of course, its not just any gobbler, but a heritage bird meaning a breed that goes back before the age of mass-market turkeys on commercial farms. And on top of that, its organic and raised to the exacting Certified Humane standards, which guarantees that animals have shelter, resting areas, sufficient space and the ability to engage in natural behaviors, according to the certification organization. Ayrshire says the result is a better bird taste-wise: It is simply a different product than a typical grocery store turkey, says the farm on its Web site.
But most cooks will ruin turkey by overcooking it. (We are having game hens and ham for Thanksgiving, Wife and I don't like turkey.)
So true, the dark meat is much better....
white meat? that's what gravy is for :)
But most cooks will ruin turkey by overcooking it. (We are having game hens and ham for Thanksgiving, Wife and I don't like turkey.)
I love game hens and havent had them in a while. I have a crowd this Thanksgiving. Perhaps when there are less here? I wouldnt mind six or eight adults enjoying game hens with chestnut fruit dressing.
there is something just wrong about this picture.
IYes there are a lot of expensive thing that taste good, but in the end it all comes out the same.
I will give thanks that I have something to eat on Thanksgiving day.

Cute but Unrealistic
"So, let's all agree that these shoes are super cute.Yes. So cute.BUT ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO WEAR. Unless you plan on sitting down at your work desk with these shoes on and change in and out of them everytime you need to get UP from your work desk, these shoes are not for you.The arch is too high and there is no platform. One cannot walk in these shoes. And I LOVE high heels.I chose not to listen to all of the reviews saying "don't buy, too high" because I was like 'pshh, what do they know?'They are right. I am right. Don't buy, too high.But cute as heck!"

This morning we found a little lost pug out in teh street just soaked (we've had a very rainy summer) and shivering and needing some love... I'm on my way to bed now, but I'll leave the link to his story on my blog. We've already named the guy and have our hearts set on him if no one comes to claim him (so far he's been gone roughly 24 hours and we haven't seen anything around town, shelter hasn't heard anything, and nothing on craigslist about a lost pug).
We're calling him Bubba Jack the One-Eyed Arctic Pug Pirate... or BJ for short

Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
BRETHREN, Christ died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Gov. Michael Leavitt announced what he felt was a notable day in the history of rural Utah on April 9 when he signed on behalf of the state of Utah a memorandum of understanding with the United States Department of the Interior. "This doesn't conclude but creates a framework for issues we have battled with for 30 years and environmental concerns. There will be benefits for generations to come.
"This MOU spells out the framework for an administrative process that will allow us to begin resolving RS-2477 roads. To give some background, In 1866 the policy in America was to settle the American west; as a result Congress enacted legislation that said if you need to build a road for mining, timber, settlements or other uses, you have the right-of-way to do that across federal land. Any road built between 1866-1976 has the RS-2477 right of way. This was how it was done until 1976 when the law changed and the Federal Land Policy Management Act came into effect. FLPMA required those choosing to build a road to go through the NEPA process.
Gov. Leavitt went on to explain the problem that change created was that none of the roads created between 1866-1976 had been documented. The right to build those roads was contained in federal law. For the past years since FLPMA, many issues have existed between counties and the federal government as to which roads were part of the system before FLPMA. Where did the roads exist? What was the scope of that road? How wide was it?
In the spring of 2000 the state of Utah made a decision to take quiet title action on these roads. This would "quiet" any dispute on the title of any road. This action was taken in federal court asking to quiet title to resolve disputes. The state has been preparing for litigation the last three years and has put 100,000 person hours and $1 million to collect data and put it into a form which could be used in court to demonstrate with clarity that the road existed before 1976.
"The1866 right-of-ways are significant, some months ago we were advancing to the department of the interior the process of litigating roads individually; this was expensive and time consuming and we feel it is in the best interest of the federal government and the state in reviewing roads where there is undisputable evidence of the existence of that road prior to 1976 and to resolve these conflicts with negotiation not litigation.
"The department of the interior saw the virtue of that and we set out to develop a process where the state prepares an application for the federal agency involved to issue a recordable disclaimer of interest to the state where it has been demonstrated the road existed before 1976. Today we signed a MOU which lays out the process that each of the roads be compared to seven touchstones," said Gov. Leavitt.
The governor went on to explain the touchstones; number one: Is there clear evidence that the road was in existence before 1976. Roads which will not be claimed at this time include roads in National Parks, wilderness areas, wilderness study areas, fish and wildlife refuges. Those roads being claimed will include roads traveled by normal vehicles, not 4-wheel drive trails but those accessible by regular vehicles. Roads will be accepted as is without expansion.
Gov. Leavitt expects that from here in a fairly short time frame the BLM will begin granting these recordable disclaimers. The counties and state will submit evidence to the BLM and the BLM will open the decision to a public process where comments will be accepted from groups or individuals on specific roads.
Gov. Leavitt pointed out that any decisions made do not prejudice any future right for a party to claim or disclaim a road not settled by this process. The counties will make the decision on which roads to present and they will be acted upon in an open way not by litigation which is a closed process. The governor believes the new process will take the cost burden of litigation off the state, federal government and the counties and put it on the environmental community if they choose to litigate these roads.
The governor believes the authority behind this MOU is solid. The state will pursue the roads that make up a transportation plan for the state. The federal agencies also want the RS-2477 roads defined. This MOU only includes the BLM no such agreement exists at this time with the forest service.
Gov. Leavitt also pointed out that this new process could of been used in a situation like that with the Burr Trail where it took a decade of time and $1 million to resolve.
The governor expects lists to be submitted to the BLM within a relatively short amount of time. Wes Curtis commented that Emery County has a good deal of data put together already which should aid them in submitting their list of roads. "This doesn't hurt the chances for claiming roads in the WSAs at a future time. In fact it will aid in this process when you can prove a road exists up to the WSA boundary. Once a precedence has been established the BLM will be hard pressed to turn down those requests. It would be logical to continue the road through WSAs and not stop at the border.
"The governor is not tooting his own horn but, he demanded a meeting with Gale Norton and her staff and he went back to Washington with photos and a data base and made his case. He told them we are hard pressed to do something now or we're going to court. He explained to them the kinds of roads we are claiming and what we're not. They were confused as to what types of roads we're talking about.
"These aren't ATV trails but legitimate roads. We aren't out grading up a bunch of roads and doing upgrades. At that point something switched in their thinking and they had a clearer picture. Up until then they were not receptive. They feel much better about things now. The governor deserves the lion's share of the credit. Once that distinction was made; the documentation was in place to make the case.
"The burden will be on the environmentalists it will be their responsibility to say, 'We don't think the evidence is substantial that should be a road.'
"I'm sure the environmental community will be active to contain and curtail what's happened here. It's a huge issue, but we are on solid ground legally. The signing of this MOU has made this a historic day and we're elated," commented Curtis.

The Goblin Valley hoodoo topplers had their first and only appearance in court on March 18. They appeared in the seventh district court before Judge Harmon.
Glen Taylor and David Hall both entered guilty pleas. Hall represented himself and Taylor had legal counsel. Emery County Deputy Attorney Brent Langston represented the state of Utah in the case. Both men waived the reading of the case information. They waived the right to a preliminary hearing.
Both men pled guilty to class A misdemeanors-attempted criminal mischief. Their pleas will be held in abeyance.
The judge said the charge has a maximum penalty of one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. The incident occurred on Oct. 11, 2013 at the Goblin Valley state park when the men were camping with a boy scout troop. One filmed the incident and the other pushed over a hoodoo.
The amount of restitution is yet to be determined and the court said this is to be decided within 30 days. The defendants will pay $925 in fines and will pay $1,500 for incident investigation support. The matter will have a paper review in six months on Sept. 16 to make sure all requirements have been completed.
Taylor and Hall were ordered to go to the Emery County jail where they were booked and released. They were also required to give a DNA sample and pay $150 for the DNA testing.

All set for North London thriller
Goals should flow at the Emirates Stadium while we're taking on Liverpool in Saturday's Premier League preview.
- Related Content
Arsenal v Tottenham (1245 GMT)
The North London derby is always a big game, but this one has even greater significance. Both sides have made unconvincing starts to a season in which they are both competing in a wide-open race for the final Champions League spot. Arsenal have made their worst Premier League start of the Arsene Wenger era, while Spurs have lost three of their last four league games (and crashed out of the League Cup at Norwich) having apparently hit their stride with a four-match winning run. Arsenal have won just two of their last eight league games at the Emirates (and two of their last eight against Spurs) and are miserable value at odds-on here, but we'd want a bit more than 3/1 for the visitors before getting involved given their poor recent run. One thing we can expect, though, is goals. Spurs have kept just one clean sheet all season and scored in all but one league game, while Arsenal, since starting the season with two goalless draws and a 2-0 win, have just one clean sheet and one failure to score in their last eight. Spurs' games against the big guns this season have featured goals (they won 3-2 at Manchester United, lost 4-2 to Chelsea and 2-1 to Manchester City) while Arsenal's last game was a 3-3 draw with Fulham. Both teams to score is an obvious call here; as well as the sides' current runs the bet would have landed in the last six north London derbies, but the layers are on to that with quotes no bigger than 8/15. Seven of the last nine NLD clashes have produced over 2.5 goals, but again it's priced up accordingly at 8/13. But with both sides scoring and conceding goals aplenty, over 4.5 goals looks value at sportingbet's 4/1. It would have paid out in five of the last 10 clashes between these two great rivals, and three of their last four meetings at the Emirates.
Verdict: Arsenal 3 Tottenham 2 (DT)
Sorry if this column sounds like a stuck record, but Liverpool just aren't that good these days and backing them at 9/20 to win any game at Anfield is not sound business. Their home Premier League record in 2012 now reads won three, drawn five, lost six with one of those games being a defeat to Wigan at the back-end of last season. The Latics have picked up more points on their travels than at home this season and if they can win at Tottenham - as they did on their last away trip - they can win here. The midweek international fixtures will have hurt the hosts' preparation more - key men Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling all saw plenty of action on Wednesday night - and the Reds look easy to oppose. You can get 17/10 in the double-chance market. Frankly we think it would be rude not to.
Verdict: Liverpool 1 Wigan 1 (AS)
Manchester City v Aston Villa (1500)
What most clubs would give for a crisis like Manchester City's. To make a mess of a Champions League campaign you first have to be in it, and Roberto Mancini's megabucks, megastar side remain unbeaten in the Premier League and only two points off top spot. Their £24million supersub Edin Dzeko stepped off the bench to once again grab the points against Tottenham last time out, a fifth win in the last six Premier League games. They're inevitably prohibitively short against a poor Aston Villa side who nonetheless gave leaders Manchester United a heck of a fright last weekend. We were going to swerve this game until uncovering an eye-catching stat: Joleon Lescott has scored five goals in his last 10 games against Villa, netting in four of those games. His record with City is two in four - including one first goal - so we'll chance an each-way first goalscorer bet on the centre-back at Ladbrokes' standout 28/1.
Verdict: Manchester City 3 Aston Villa 0 (DT)
This looks a trappy game between two teams hard to get a handle on this season. Newcastle have won three and lost three to go with five draws and come into this game on the back of a home defeat to West Ham. Swansea's record is similar - one more defeat, one fewer draw - and they will feel they've left points on the park having mixed a creditable draw against Chelsea and narrow defeat to Manchester City with sloppy results against the likes of Villa, Reading and Southampton. Newcastle at their best would be a decent bet at close to even money in this one, but can we be sure that's the Newcastle we'll get? We won't be having a bet on this one, but - if pushed for a selection - would go for Yohan Cabaye first goalscorer at 12/1. The Frenchman has opened the scoring in two of Newcastle's last three.
Verdict: Newcastle 1 Swansea 1 (DT)
How a team who have won no games by mid-November can be odds-on shots baffles me and I simply can't be going anywhere near QPR here. Yes, Southampton's defence is not good but they offer something going forward - 15 goals scored is bettered only by Swansea in the bottom half - and it's hard to see them being eased aside. It's worth pointing out that West Brom were 8/11 shots to beat Saints at home a fortnight ago - a price we were more than happy to snap up and one which duly made a profit. However, the Baggies are a much better side than the one Mark Hughes has assembled - 16 points between them already proves that - and the 17/20 offered about a home win this time is a real turn-off. OK, Rangers did create some good chances at Stoke last week but the fact they were missed rather sums up the lack of confidence at Loftus Road right now, while the defensive horror show which led to Charlie Adam's winner simply adds to that. Southampton could offer a spot of value at 16/5 but so bad has their defending been - note the gift to Nathan Dyer that cost them all three points against Swansea - that is makes sense to swerve this one and look elsewhere.
Verdict: QPR 2 Southampton 2 (AS)
Here's a stat for you: Everton have come from behind to claim at least a point in each of their last six games. No other side in the Premier League era has achieved that 'feat'. Sadly the bookies are wise to this one and offer just 18/5 about the Toffees stretching that run to seven, a considerably shorter price than the norm. Of course, going behind in the first place is no great achievement and the reason why Everton haven't won more than they have done so far is a leaky defence. David Moyes' Everton teams have been built on defensive solidity over the years but so far this season that's not been the case. Phil Jagielka has been unable to find a regular partner at the heart of the backline and Everton have managed just two clean sheets thus far in the league. What is noticeable when you look at their results is that both sides have scored in Everton's last six (seven if you add a Capital One Cup tie). It's eight out of 11 overall in the league. Reading have scored in all bar one of their games at the Madejski. Again though, the bookies have priced both sides to score accordingly at 4/6. The value here instead would appear to lie with the draw. Everton have drawn five of their 11 games thus far and their top-four hopes would look considerably stronger had they not dropped points at bottom-half sides such as QPR and Wigan. Reading, who have drawn six of 11 and four of five at home, fit into that bracket and could prove tougher nuts to crack than Everton's 5/6 odds suggest. Impressive summer signing Kevin Mirallas is unlikely to play due to injury and his creativity will be missed so backing the draw at 29/10 looks worth a punt.
Verdict: Reading 1 Everton 1 (AS)
West Brom head into this match having taken 15 points from a possible 18 at home, while last week they picked up their first away win to move up to fifth in the table. It's been quite a start by Steve Clarke's men with, as mentioned in the past, James Morrison and Romelu Lukaku in particularly good form - both played a key part in last week's victory at Wigan. My theory with Chelsea has been they've been vulnerable when teams have been prepared to go toe to toe with them - think Shahktar Donetsk, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid. While we're not putting West Brom in that category just yet, the Baggies will surely use their home advantage by getting at Chelsea from the kick-off. Key to success will be dealing with Chelsea's creative midfield where Juan Mata and Eden Hazard have been razor sharp thus far. However, West Brom's midfield is also a strong point with Morrison and Zoltan Gera providing plenty of creativity while Youssouf Mulumbu adds steel. Taking everything into account, 31/10 about a home win looks worth consideration. Sadly it's not the 4/1 offered about the Baggies beating Man City here last month (a game they lost to an injury-time goal) so he'll keep stakes fairly small.
Verdict: West Brom 2 Chelsea 1 (AS)
Norwich v Manchester United (1730)
It's impossible to write about Manchester United this season without reference to one of the more bizarre statistics of the season. United have now fallen behind in 11 of their 17 matches (seven in 11 Premier League games) this season, yet managed to hit back and win on eight occasions (five in the Premier League). It's 7/1 at Ladbrokes for that to become nine from 12 in 18 at Norwich this weekend, and it's a perfectly fair price. Obviously our main concern here is not whether the side that has scored 29 goals will net against the one that has shipped 18, but whether the side with only eight goals to their name can get themselves in front. It's an understandable fear, but the Canaries have already scored first against both Chelsea and Arsenal this season and the 7/1 for United to perform their new favourite trick certainly looks an easier investment than the straight away win at 4/9.
Verdict: Norwich 1 Manchester United 3 (DT)

Or something… I am a Sagittarius and I am PROUD (yeah, it's my bday on the 21st, end of the world yadda yadda, I'll accept gifts early :D), and Hottie Cooterati's Zodiac – Sagittarius Round is still going strong!
HopScotch do some wonderful poses and props, and this round saw a few "Archer" type sets! I have shown both the female "Huntress" Versions below, in a collage of WOOOO! There are Male versions too. I really love these poses and the props are just divine, so smooth, so realistic! I decided to wear them with the gorgeous new, and on offer (red only) set from Severed Garden! I love that store, everything is so gorgeous and pretty and REASONABLE! The set comes with everything you see clothes/shoes wise and is a steal! Also wearing last weeks FLF offering from Clawtooth for a bit of a dip dye change! (the items used in the background are from an old Funky Junk item!)
Also released for this round were these Warrior Hoops from Indrya Originals. I am not normally a fan of huge jewellery, either in RL or SL, but these were too pretty to pass up. They come in the colours shown and with two versions, these are, believe it or not, the small! You can also wear a larger version too. The one downfall of these, in my opinion is that they only come in gold, unless I am dumb! I would of really loved to see them in Silver, hopefully maybe for another release?! Such vibrant, gorgeous items.. I'd love to wear them more often, but sadly I do not tend to do Gold in world or out!
Of course I had to take a headshot of me in them, because I'm also wearing one of the two awesome Izzie Frostbite skins from this months Collabor88 and the brand new TDR Fusion special hair from LoQ! Don't I look ADORABLE? My fringe is currently this long in RL too, I'll go boss eyed soon… apparently, that's what my mother tells me. My piercings are from Cute Poison.
Finally, I am really enjoying doing homey type posts, the sim I live on, I share with others so I can't just fanny around changing seasons on a whim, so my plan is to set up a skydome for each season! We'll see, I have zero landscaping skills so don't hold your breath. This house though, the Gorgeous Writing Home from Scarlet Creative deserves a dome all of it's own. It's SO damn pretty. It's pretty large, so make sure you can furnish it, I haven't even started yet! It also comes with two versions, one with shadows baked on incase you can't utilise shadows in SL and want the effect, and without. Charlotte does such amazing work, so detailed and gorgeous, no picture could ever do it justice.
I took a few pictures of the inside, you can click through to see them larger, and I do apologise, I did take more but I forgot to save them (DAMN YOU DIFFERENT VIEWER) and I didn't have time to go back in and take more. I'm pretty sure you will love what you DO see though! You get various rooms, all spacious and with lovely windows, perfect for the view. There are a couple of fireplaces for you to decorate and plenty of little hallways for your nick nack wall hangings and pictures. The textures on this house blow you away, the insides are just gorgeous and you will fall in love. Plenty of space for you, and the family, with a cute little attic room to keep the lil ones, or your other half out of mischief, or a getaway for yourself, you really must see this in world, it's really quite out of it.. the world that is.

The Gospel according to Matthew 10:1, 5-8
At that time, Jesus called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay."

Rue Ware gave his report concerning the Memorial Day activities at the city cemetery to the council at a recent council meeting. Mayor Thayne Cox welcomed Ware to the meeting and expressed his appreciation to him for handling the holiday planning so well.
Ware expressed his thanks to David Hinkins and Drew LeRoy for supplying the water and ice for the visitors to the Orangeville Cemetery over the Memorial Day weekend. As the number of visitors was down this year over last year, there were several cases of bottled water left over which was sold at the Orangeville Day Celebration.
Cards were handed out to the visitors and they were asked to fill them out with name, address, date of visit, comments and suggestions. Ware reported that the majority of the comments were very positive and can be used to make next year's holiday even better. Ware also reported that the bulk of the visitors during the weekend were present on Friday.
One comment which was received was that several of the headstones are in need of leveling. Some are falling over and need attention. Mayor Cox will see that the work is done.
Ware made several suggestion of his own to the council for consideration for next year. He stated that the greeters hours should be looked at and the council might consider shortening the length of time that each greeter is at the cemetery. He added that one consideration may be to stop the greeters at 6 p.m. as the greatest percentage of evening visitors are local people who do not require direction.
"I also think that the council should think about having a small flag ceremony on Monday, Memorial Day, evening. If the flag was lowered to half staff and Taps played, it would be a nice event. I think it would be a wonderful way to end the weekend," said Ware.
City Recorder Murleen Bean made a suggestion to help with the cemetery. She urged the council to consider purchasing a canopy that can be used as shade for comfort at graveside services. She noted that during the middle of the day, it can be very warm and uncomfortable for people attending services at the cemetery. The council expressed the opinion that this is a wise thing to consider.
Councilperson Carol Ware also suggested some accommodations be made for the greeters who are at the cemetery to get out of the weather. At times, the weather had been extremely inhospitable and the greeters need somewhere to get inside.
Councilman Kelly Alton expressed his appreciation to Rue Ware for the effort he had put into the making the holiday at the cemetery a memorable experience for the visitors. "I have received many positive comments from citizens concerning the event," said Alton.
Rue Ware also reported that the posting of signs noting historical sites in and around Orangeville has been completed as far as it can go to this point. The remaining 14 signs need to be placed along state roads and the permission for their placement has not been received from the state road department.
Linda Jewkes, vice-chair of the Emery County Economic Development Council, reported the activities of that council. Jewkes explained the rural Utah survey that is being taken online. The results of this survey will be compiled to determine what can be done to help rural Utahns with economic development. The survey will help determine what types of businesses are desired and what direction the residents of the smaller towns in Utah want to take in securing their future. All rural Utahns, especially government officials, are encouraged to take the short survey online at http://utahreach.org/wingspan/surveys/. The results of this survey will be presented at the Rural Summit to be held in Cedar City on Aug. 12-13.
Jewkes also reported that the economic development council is ready to begin printing the directory of businesses in Emery County. This directory will be used in a packet of information to be used for recruitment of business to this area. Skyler Tanner is compiling the remainder of the booklet which is all of the other critical information concerning life in Emery County, other than the businesses. Tanner's information concerns living conditions, amenities and recreational activities, among other things. This recruitment material will be taken to the Emery County Economic Summit to be held at the Museum of the San Rafael on Sept. 14. Jewkes also noted that Jon Huntsman, Jr., candidate for governor will be the keynote speaker at this summit.
City Treasurer Cindy Nielson requested the council clarify the policy for city workers who are instructed to turn the water off to a residence for non payment of the water bill. Nielson explained that several times in the past month, the city worker has not turned the water off as instructed. As a result, when the property owner came in to pay the overdue bill, the shut off charge was disputed.
The council informed Nielson that her actions have been according to policy, and the Mayor would speak with the city worker about the water shut off orders.
Councilman Pat Jones suggested that the residents be informed about how payments are made for water to the special service district.
He stated that the city is billed for and must pay for each water connection in Orangeville. If the property owner falls behind in the payment, the city has no alternative other than to disconnect the water.
The Orangeville City Council members each proceeded to give their individual reports informing the others of their actions during the month. Each has been busy with their departments.
The next Orangeville City Council meeting will be Aug. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

good buy
"I had been researching walking/running shoes since I like to add some jogging into my walks. Found the Brooks/Trance 10 was the one to get. Glad I did this shoe is comfortable and true to Size. With that being said it does require a lighter weight sock which is fine for me but if you use thicker socks you'll need to go up a size. Great shoe overall."

Julien Boucher's world championship blog
Day #14 – September 26 – Trieste
As you know, we've just beaten Serbia, ranked fourth in the world, 3-1 (25-20, 25-22, 17-25, 25-23). It was a great match by everyone on our team and a big confidence boost for our next match.
The story of the match was our ability to limit our errors and force the Serbs to play hard from start to finish. The final tally: the Serbs made 30 unforced errors compared to 13 for us. But the Serbs biggest error isn't on the scoresheet. Their coach decided to start three subs. Whether it was arrogance or disrespect, our players reacted perfectly and executed Glenn's plan to a tee.
The Serbs added two starters for the second set without any success. In the third, with their pride on the line, the Serbs dominated. But the damage was done and we quickly bounced back in the fourth. It was a big win against a team that has won so many medals through the years. Italy is still in shock.
But we can't rest on our laurels. The hardest part is yet to come. The Germans are anxious to face us after a tough loss to Poland in five sets that lasted two and a half hours. The Germans have a different style than the Serbs based more on pure power, especially with their service- and less on finesse in their execution. We'll need to adjust and continue to build on our victory.
Our situation is simple: a win and we are in the second round. A loss combined with a loss by the Serbs to Poland will create a three-way tie for second place in our pool. Since the first tie-breaker is the grand total of points for and against it is impossible at this time to make any assessments.
Julien Boucher, Canadian team manager.

Farm Safety
Many farm-related medical problems can be prevented by planning ahead and taking safety precautions.
A variety of injuries are caused by farm accidents and other occupational hazards related to farming. Many of these injuries can be prevented by getting adequate rest and taking safety precautions. Dr. Debra Phillips, professor of family and community medicine at SIU School of Medicine, explains.
SOUND BITE: "The farmers push their bodies and their machines way past what they should be doing. And as harvest is happening and the weather is bad, they will go much longer hours. Sometimes it will go late into the night, have a very short rest period. And when you do that, reasoning and response time decrease and accidents happen."
Inhaling debris floating in the air during harvest is a serious health hazard. Dr. Phillips advises farmers to use air masks to protect their lungs from the dust and debris in the fields. She also advises taking safety precautions against fires.
SOUND BITE: ". . . during harvest time, you are going to have a lot of chaff and you're pushing the machine and you're going to get a fire in the combine. So without a doubt you should have a fully charged fire extinguisher in the combine and other places around the farm, including around the augers and the bins."
Dr. Phillips advises farmers to keep a first aid kit handy, do a 15-minute safety check for potential hazards, and properly train others who will be operating machinery. If someone has an injury, they should quickly go to their personal physician or hospital emergency department.
This is Ruth Slottag at SIU School of Medicine in Springfield.

Five Justifications for Investment Treaties: A Critical Discussion
Gus Van Harten
York University - Osgoode Hall Law School
June 9, 2010
Trade, Law & Development, Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 1, 2010
The article examines five justifications for the investment treaty system. These include the justifications: (1) that investment treaties are a means to encourage foreign direct investment; (2) that investment treaties respond to the bias and unreliability of domestic courts; (3) that investment treaty arbitration advances the rule of law in the resolution of investor-state disputes; (4) that investment treaties affirm the sovereignty and bargaining strategies of states; and (5) that investment treaties were endorsed by the democratic processes of states. The discussion concludes with recommendations that states exercise greater care when considering entry into the system or, more likely, the maintenance or renewal of existing treaties, and that states consider options for reform of the arbitration mechanism.

The aggregated GHG emissions of the UN system organizations for their facility operations, travel and peacekeeping operations in 2008 are estimated to approximately 1'740'000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents. When excluding peacekeeping operations, the emissions are approximately 770'000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents. About 50 % of the emissions are from air travel. The average annual GHG emissions across the UN system are approximately 8.3 tonnes of CO2 equivalents per staff member.
Polices and measures are being implemented across the UN system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The focus so far has been on improving the energy-efficiency of buildings and office equipment, increased use of renewable energy, raising staff awareness on energy-savings and the greening of meetings. Areas where efforts have begun, but which hold considerable future potential, include the use of information and communication technologies to reduce emissions and streamlining air travel. Measures to cut emissions have also reduced the consumption of energy, water and paper – and therefore costs, and improved planning and efficiency in work delivery.
A number of organizations have already put into place offsetting initiatives. Five UN system institutions have declared themselves climate- or carbon-neutral, while six others have offset specific events.

The Club and its Craven Cottage home are indelibly linked but in recent years a second base in Surrey has taken on an increasing prominence.
Motspur Park was established as the Club's permanent Training Ground in 1999 and in the period since it has grown into a state-of-the-art sporting facility and the central location for over 150 members of staff.
Much like Craven Cottage, it has developed while retaining the charm and character of its 1920s origins as a sports ground for the University of London.
The University spent £18,000 to acquire what was then unspoilt countryside and almost as much again on levelling and drainage works that helped to establish Motspur Park as a top class facility.
Its athletics track quickly gained a reputation as one of the fastest in the country and it was here that Stanley Wooderson set a world mile record of 4:06.4 in a handicap race.
Although the cinder track is long gone, its curved sweep remains a feature of the present Arena Pitch, as indeed does a home straight that accounts for the large divide between the near touchline and the stand.
The Arena Pitch is commonly used for First Team training sessions and Under 21 Squad fixtures and the stand has been extended to provide a restaurant, players lounge and medical facilities.
Five other playing surfaces are numbered (anti clockwise) around the site, with an Astroturf area providing the final piece in the Motspur Park pitch puzzle.
The First Team training pitches are fibre-sand based and major works are carried out each summer to maintain a high calibre playing surface. The Club Academy is based and play fixtures at Motspur Park. In partnership with the Fulham FC Foundation, the Fulham Deaf Team and local groups also make regular use of the facilities.
It is not only Fulham's own stars who have graced the pitches at Motspur Park. As the range and quality of facilities has increased, so too has the number of external visitors to the Training Ground. A number of international teams have held training sessions at Motspur Park, including Brazil, Colombia, England, South Korea and Sweden, often ahead of international fixtures at the Cottage.
In recent years training camps for the Soccer Aid charity matches have also heralded the arrival of an array of famous players, musicians, politicians and celebrities. Film crews have also set the cameras rolling, capturing scenes for motion pictures including The Games (1970). The arena stand was used in the film Chariots of Fire (1981) which was produced by Dodi Fayed.

Nay, it's done very easily using the leveling tool and some other things. But more on that later
Kylara is great, and that one piece chapter was the best raw I've ever seen, which is why I chose it for that example, I could whip it up in like 30 seconds.
urm, how many hours/days does it usually take for a single person to fully scanlate a single chapter anyway?
I was intending to spruce this signature up with some witty anecdote which would have you rolling around on the floor, clutching (Proverbially speaking) your sides at the sheer onslaught of hilarity. Alas, I have no such joke, pun or witticism in my armoury, so instead I'm typing this rather bland and tasteless spiel just to show willing, 'cos it's uncool if you leave the signature unchanged for too long.
A typical chapter of Bleach took me about 2-3 hours once...
I am the moonlight walking.
Lucky you, Umbra037. Double makes Furi remove the SFX from all our releases, so it takes him forever, that and he's a lazy bum.
I'm waiting for this blud, so I could help out my team. .
sfx are easy to do...(they're the only thing i can confidently translate)
Ah, I can't wait for the tutorial. I've just begun scanlating and I seriously don't like blurry lines. [It's a long line scretching (sometimes) from the top of the page until to the bottom] I just don't know how to deal with it [efficiently]. The only way I found to deal with it is to recolor everything... T0T

Dodd-Frank: Quack Federal Corporate Governance Round II
Stephen M. Bainbridge
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
September 7, 2010
UCLA School of Law, Law-Econ Research Paper No. 10-12
In 2005, Roberta Romano famously described the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as "quack corporate governance." In this article, Professor Stephen Bainbridge argues that the corporate governance provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 also qualify for that sobriquet.
The article identifies 8 attributes of quack corporate governance regulation: (1) The new law is a bubble act, enacted in response to a major negative economic event. (2) It is enacted in a crisis environment. (3) It is a response to a populist backlash against corporations and/or markets. (4) It is adopted at the federal rather than state level. (5) It transfers power from the states to the federal government. (6) Interest groups that are strong at the federal level but weak at the Delaware level support it. (7) Typically, it is not a novel proposal, but rather a longstanding agenda item of some powerful interest group. (8) The empirical evidence cited in support of the proposal is, at best, mixed and often shows the proposal to be unwise.
All of Dodd-Frank meets the first three criteria. It was enacted in the wake of a massive populist backlash motivated by one of the worst economic crises in modern history. As the article explains in detail, the corporate governance provisions each satisfy all or substantially all of the remaining criteria.

Natural resources and their services are essential to food production, enhanced rural development and sustainable livelihoods. Conflicts and competition over access to, and the use of these resources are likely to increase in many regions, due to soaring demands for food, fibre, energy as well as the loss and degradation of productive land. These conflicts will be exacerbated by changing growing conditions, increased water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, extreme weather events and other effects of climate change. The sustainable management of natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations requires addressing key aspects of natural resources and their governance across all sectors. As summarized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Report published in 2005, "..... any progress achieved in addressing the Millennium Development Goals of poverty and hunger eradication and environmental sustainability is unlikely to be sustained if most ecosystem services on which humanity relies continue to be degraded....".
The Natural Resources Management and Environment Department mandate is to address these issues and provide leadership, technical and policy advice and knowledge towards the sustainable use of the earth's natural resources (land, water, genetic resources and biodiversity); improved responses to global environmental challenges affecting food and agriculture, such as climate change and land degradation; assessment of opportunities and challenges of bioenergy; and strengthened transfer and extension of knowledge required towards these goals. In addition, the Department serves as a neutral forum and venue for dialogue on sustainable use of natural resources.
The Department consists of two Divisions:
In addition, the Office of the Assistant Director-General hosts the Secretariat of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA).
The Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was originally established in 1983 as the Commission on Plant Genetic Resources; its mandate was broadened in 1995 to cover all components of biodiversity relevant to food and agriculture. With 171 countries and the European Community as Members, the Commission provides the only permanent forum for governments to discuss and negotiate matters specifically relevant to biological diversity for food and agriculture. The Commission aims to reach international consensus on policies for the sustainable use and conservation of genetic resources for food and agriculture and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from their use. Since its establishment, the Commission has overseen global assessments of the state of the world's plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture and negotiated major international instruments, including the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.
Website: Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
Natural resources – land, water and genetic material – are essential to food production, rural development and sustainable livelihoods. Unfortunately, conflicts over access to these resources, long a feature of human history, are likely to increase in many regions because of rising demand for food, fibre and energy, as well as the loss and degradation of productive land. Conflicts will be further exacerbated by changing growing conditions, increased water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, extreme weather events and other effects of climate change. If productive agriculture is to be safeguarded, these challenges will have to be addressed.

Posted on 01/29/2013 6:43:49 AM PST by libstripper
It's about time for some bipartisan...skeet shooting?
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined a chorus of skeptics who questioned President Barack Obama's recent comments about his hobby of skeet shooting, a sport where participants fire shotguns to break airborne clay disks.
"If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn't he referenced this at any point in time?" Blackburn said Monday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
"I tell you what I do think," she later added. "I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I'll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I'll beat him."
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Love Marsha Blackburn!
I'd like to see the scrawney little twerp shoot a 12 gauge, it would probably knock him on his ass.
i do not think this congresswoman knows about the perverted inference of skeet shooting in the urban vernacular...
obama's immature nature will have him double entendre her into an embarrassing position... like teabagging... skeet shooting will be the next bastardization from the adolescent in chief.
Of all the lies Barry has passed off, the skeet shooting story takes the cake.
I'm sure his birth certificate people are already working on it.
I do believe her challenge with be met with the sound of crickets....and she knows it...LMAO!!! Get in his head, girl!!!
You know it is a bald faced lie.
Otherwise we would have been told that Obama was a sharpshooter and many photos would be thrown at us.

Fo'Shizzle my nizzle!
See Pics and Video of the Skeet Shooting Area at Camp David (That Obama Says He Uses All the Time)

I just hope for the safety of everyone involved.
I doubt he knows which end the "stuff comes out fast".
I would actually pay to see this. LOL
I would even loan him my 12 guage...
if I had one, I mean.
Looks like he skeet shoots in golf shoes.
No Matter what he is doing, that guy always looks like a homo.
That's just not cool, man.
OMG!!! Another Tragic Boating Accident. We FReepers must be the world's worst seamen.
I hope she offered to even let 0 use a 12 gauge - under the close supervision of her and/or her security dudes, of course...
It wasn't a lie, it was a..... what did he call it when they discovered that he made up his girlfriend from college? Just like that football player?
What the hell kinda posing is that he's doing in that picture anyway, and not even with any eye or ear protection?
Point goes to the lady.
I think that picture is a photo-shop - he's in his 'Golf pose' there.
I think he's lying, but I think the challenge is a mistake.
We don't have an unalienable right to shoot skeet. We have an unalienable right to be armed with weaponry capable of fighting a tyranical overlord.
If he ignores this challenge, its a non-story. If he accepts, it means that he's been practicing and it will get major coverage.
The correct response to the Demolsheviks is, "Stop trivializing the Constitution, by claiming it gives us the right to play games, but not be adults."
He is Pinnocchi-O
He probably shoots like a girl.
He probably shoots like a girl.
I suck with a shotgun, went skeet shooting once, never hit a damn thing. Went duck hunting once managed to wing a duck after many tries then it took me another six rounds to kill the poor duck. I gave up duck hunting after that.
"Is this where I kin git me a skeet huntin' license?"
First prize for best, funniest graphics of the day. You did it with the Curta calculator, too, a couple of days ago.
NO!!! I was peanut hunting down in Georgia and a pack of giant rabbits attacked me. They came from nowhere and went back to nowhere, but they took my weapons and I never saw them OR the rabbits again.
I still have nightmares about it.
Dang... too bad you didn't have a Holy Hand Grenade with you at the time.
Congrats. The disaster stories about the Tragic Day I Lost All My Guns are getting better. I can just imagine all the horrible tragedies that will now be described. My heart is rendered.
That is correct. Here is said picture:
And here is the picture above.
Skeptical congresswoman challenges Obama to SCAT shooting match
Even if he can shoot skeet, or has participated in shooting skeet what has that to do with his gun grabbing BS?
He's too busy doing other manly things. /s/
I wouldn't be surprised if he claimed to play a round of golf with a score of 18! He is sounding more like Kim Jung every day!
Okay... thanks for helping me out...

Skip to comments.Thinking the Unthinkable; On the Wrong Side in Yugoslavia?
Posted on 04/13/2006 8:33:55 AM PDT by PurpleMountains
The roughly 5000 unspeakable acts of murder and mayhem committed by Islamofascist terrorists on innocent people just since 9/11 have got me wondering did we come in on the wrong side in the conflict between the Serbians (Christians) and the Bosnians (Muslims) in the former Yugoslavia, and have we and the western world gone after the wrong group of war criminals? I am well aware of the horrendous barbarities committed by the Serbians against the Bosnians and others, but do we really know what transpired to drive them to these acts before the conflict aroused our interest? I admit to having been skeptical when former President Clinton committed our military to protect the Bosnian Muslims, but I did decide to support him at the time.
(Excerpt) Read more at forthegrandchildren.blogspot.com ...
I've argued all along that in Kosovo, at the very least, we fought on the wrong side. The Serbs were fighting the same islamofascist monsters that we're fighting now.
The answer is yes, we backed the wrong side in Yugoslavia and many of us were saying it at the time.
As usual, American public opinion was swung by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsday writer who wrote about the atrocities in the areas where Serbs wouldn't kill him but wasn't so hot at getting the story in Muslim areas where he would have been slaughtered.
Welcome to the light side.
I've not only argued exactly the same thing, but went futher. Our "intervention" in Serbia will be viewed strategically, as the biggest military blunder of the last half of the 20th century.
The repercussions are being being experienced today.
Clinton had no better grasp of the islamic disaster to the rest of the world that George Bush does...
The delusion that results from our assumption that they "are like us" and "think like us", will be the death of us (literally) unless reversed soon...
On the wrong side in Yugoslavia?Absolutely.
We were on the wrong side. That's why the Leftists didn't march in the street protesting Clinton's war of aggression. The Left knew we were killing Christians. The Left knew we were supporting Islamofascists. So the Left supported the war.
The Serbs destroyed more churches during the wars of the 1990's than any other group - imagining Milosevic's assorted thugs and paramilitaries as agents of Christianity is simply ignorant stupidity.
One may as well take Reagan to task for siding with Muslims against "Christian Russians" in Afghanistan during the 1980's.
There are those who base their belief on prejudices. YOU are one of them. You put your own prejudices above the interests of our nation.
The fact is that to whatever extent Milosovic was on the wrong side of history, the US made a strategic error in bombing Yugoslavia and defending the Islamofascists in the Balkans.
Only if I defined "our nation" as that of the Orthodox Slavs, and bought into the fantasy "clash of religions" view of events in the former Yugoslavia.
I don't, and neither does anybody who's ever going to be responsible for American foreign policy.
Sucks to be you, etc.
You're absolutely right. Reagan inherited Carters policies and should have quickly shifted to neutro and have allowed Russia to contend with the Islamists.
Likewise, W should have not supported the political Tribunal and honor the the sovereignty of Yugoslavia over Kosovo. I hope the W administration doesn't welsh on the signed agreement that ended the hostilities.
You sound like Rip Van Winkle...sound asleep for a long time while the islamofascists have been on the march.
The traitors Clinton and Mad Maddie did it for their twisted reasons...but your justification proves that there is enough stupidity to go around.
You sound like Rip Van Winkle...sound asleep for a long time while the islamofascists have been on the march.
The traitors Clinton and Mad Maddie did it for their twisted reasons...but your justification proves that there is enough stupidity to go around.
Can we bring in 'clash of religions' view now, when debating riots in England, Germany, Denmark, Iraq, and 'Palestine'?
We shouldn't have supported any side. They've been going at each other for centuries.
There's a difference, Rip Van Winkle eventually awoke form his slumber, Hoplite is still sleepwalking.
funny actually if it weren't so tragic.
www.SerbianCycling.com. Bookmark it and come back to it on Sunday or Monday. Pass this on to all others.
I see the Soros-fluffer is still pedaling this particular lie. When pushed to provide facts, he will list all Churches destroyed by the Communists while attempting to blame all of it on the Serbs alone.
No Freeper falls for this nonsense, of course, but, then again, most Freepers are qualified to do more than flip pancakes for a living.
I think Hopolite has a point, but it goes more like this:
ANY side in Kosovo or Yugoslavia was the wrong side...
Personally, I'd consider giving Serbia a pass 'cause of help in WWII.
Bookmark it and come back to it on Sunday or Monday. Pass this on to all others.
Yes sir!
By the way - I love the Amarillo video on your website.
ONE of the biggest and most tragic. How about also clintons transfer of missile guidance and nuke weapons technology to the chicoms in exchange for campaign bribe money? I suspect that may come back to haunt us in the form of punishment for allowing ourselves to be governed by such spiritual "dwarfs" as clinton and carter.

USA TODAY's Liz Szabo talks about Mindy McCready's death - and about factors that may play into why guns are the leading cause of suicide in America.
Gun-related suicides are getting attention again after singer Mindy McCready's death.
Country singer Mindy McCready, whose troubled personal life often overshadowed her music, made several suicide attempts using pills in the past decade. She died this time when she used a gun.
The role of guns in suicide is receiving renewed attention in the national debate over firearms violence after the shootings in Newtown, Conn. About 19,000 of the more than 31,000 gun-related deaths in the USA each year are due to suicide — far outnumbering gun-related homicides.
While guns are involved in just 5.6% of suicide attempts, they account for 55% of suicide fatalities. That's because 85% of suicide attempts involving guns result in death, making firearms the leading method of suicide in the USA, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In comparison, taking pills results in death in 2% of cases.
"It's access to weaponry that turns desperate people into suicides," says psychiatrist Kenneth Duckworth, medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, interviewed before McCready's death.
McCready, 37, died in her Arkansas home Sunday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. McCready, who had attempted suicide in 2006 and 2008, went into rehab last month after her boyfriend, record producer David Wilson, fatally shot himself.
STORY: McCready dead of apparent suicide
FULL COVERAGE: Debate over guns in America
STORY: Soldier suicides rare in some foreign outposts
People are at higher risk of suicide if one of their loved ones has committed suicide.
McCready had a number of run-ins with the law in the past decade, including arrests for buying painkillers with a fake prescription, among other offenses.
Though the loved ones of those who commit suicide often wonder why someone might want to die, mental health professionals trying to prevent suicide say it's more important to examine how the person tried to do it.
Doctors at the Harvard School of Public Health have launched a program called "Means Matter" (meansmatter.org) to educate people about the role of guns in suicide.
Though women are much more likely to attempt suicide, men die more often from suicide, largely because they use guns, Duckworth says.
The National Rifle Association has said guns don't play a major role in suicide, arguing that suicidal people will always find a way to kill themselves.
The facts don't bear that out, says Catherine Barber, who directs the Means Matter Campaign at the Harvard School of Public Health's Injury Control Research Center.
Many people who attempt suicide do so with little planning, during a short-term crisis, Barber says. Though long-term depression and substance abuse can play a role, the "acute period" of high suicide risk often lasts only minutes or hours.
A 2005 study found that, among people who had survived a suicide attempt, one in four deliberated for less than five minutes. Nine in 10 people who survive a suicide attempt don't later die of suicide, according to the Harvard center.
"Someone who wants to hang himself can change his mind," says Liza Gold, a forensic psychiatrist at the Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. "With a gun, it only takes an instant, and you can't take it back."
Many studies show that reducing access to lethal methods dramatically lowers the rate of suicide, Barber says.
For example, suicide rates fell in the United Kingdom after that country eliminated carbon monoxide from home cooking gas, which had been the most common form of suicide in the 1950s. A 2002 study estimates that, over a 10-year period, that change saved up to 7,000 lives.
Suicide rates in the U.K. also fell after the country took action to make it harder to deliberately overdose on a common painkiller, says Paul Appelbaum, a professor of psychiatry, medicine and law at the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York. Manufacturers limited the number of pills per package and began packing pills in blister packs, rather than loose in bottles.
The risk of suicide is three times higher in households with guns compared with those without guns, according to a 1993 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Suicide rates are higher in rural areas, not because people who live in the country are more depressed, but because they're more likely to own guns, Barber says.
Families of people who are depressed, or who have a history of suicidal thinking, can help protect their loved ones by encouraging people to get guns out of the home, Gold says. Gold says she frequently asks her depressed patients if they have guns, and if so, how many.
"Absolutely, you need to talk to people about guns," Gold says. "I try to get the family on board. I say, 'Can you take the guns to another location, or put them in a gun safe? Can you lock up the guns and keep the key?'"
Tom Morton, a reporter at the Casper Star-Tribune in Wyoming, wrote a column in 2011 about his decision to voluntarily get rid of a rifle inherited from his father.
"I've had a long-running battle with depression that has included a suicide attempt with pills and alcohol," Morton wrote. "If I had a gun, I wouldn't be here."
