View of Subate in the 1920's. Photo courtesy Mike Getz.
Small town in Latvia, 40 km northwest of Daugavpils, located in the Ilkuste region of Courland, on the border of Lithuania.
Alternate names: Subata, Subbat, Shubitz, Subitz.
Geographical location: 56 degrees 1' North latitude/ 25 degrees 54' East longitude
Modern Subate, from Bartholomew European Travel Map--Latvia, 1966. 1:400,000
Subate was founded on the western shore of a neighboring lake in 1550, and called Alt-Subbath. A small settlement, it was the property of Count Plater-Ziberg who adopted Catholicism. It became an important market place because of access to Lithuania. Neu Subata was created in 1685 on the eastern shore by Lutheran German barons. Disputes over church property are a feature of the relationship between Alt and Neu Subate. Annexed by Russia in 1795, both were united and designated a city in 1894.
Dating from 1686 Jews were forbidden to settle in Subate. A Jewish presence is first recorded at the beginning of the 19th century by the presence of Abraham bar Mose, as teacher and shochet. He also served Rakishiki across the border in Lithuania. There was a Jewish cemetery used by neighboring communities as well.
From 1898 to 1915, facilities for Jewish study opened and there were separate synagogues for misnagdim and chassidim. There were also three chedorim and an elementary school.
Subate was occupied by the Germans during World War I. They were preferred to the Russians who banished thousands of Jews to the interior, in the belief that they would favor the Russians. As a result the region was impoverished and many did not return after the war.
After the independence of Latvia in 1920 the community was assisted financially by relatives in the US and South Afiica. A shochet was appointed in addition to the Rabbi and a Jewish elementary school with Hebrew and Yiddish as the meditun, was opened. The school was supported by the town and had six classes in 1926. A Jewish school, taught in Russian,opened in 1930.
There were reports of anti-Semitism in Subate in the l920's. A:fter the war, returning Jews found themselves dispossessed. A "Gemilut Chesed" was operated by the community with help from the "Joint". Economically Jews were mainly in commerce, owning stores and the mill but also in traditional trades.
In June 1940, the Soviets took over Latvia. When the Germans attacked Poland on June 22, 1941, Jews from neighboring communities and Lithuania fled to Subate. The Germans arrived there at the end of June.
Subate's Jews and those who had fled there, were murdered at an unspecified date between summer and autumn of 1941. Descriptions of the killings feature brutality extreme even by Holocaust standards. The Red Army liberated Subate on July 13, 1944. At the urging of family members who survived for various reasons, Soviets authorized memorials over three mass graves bearing the inscription, "Here lie the victims of fascism 1941-1945" in Yiddish and Russian.
Jewish Population:
Subate's total population in 1914 was 2300, declining to 1489 in 1935, and made up of 32% Latvians, 32% Russians and 26% Jews.
1) Eliahu Smuel bar Mordechai Leib Jaffe who served 43 years in the mid-nineteenth
2) Moshe bar Mordechai Rabinovits, served 7 years and died in 1924.
3) Abraham Benj'amin Teitz, descendant of gaon Dov Ber, rabbi 1898 -1914.
4) Yakov bar Eliahu Dov Epstein, 1920's through 1941.
5) Tzvi Hirsh Hertzkovitch

MCC president finalist to visit
After an exhaustive search resulting in three well-qualified finalists for president, Miles Community College will welcome the first finalist to campus next week.
"I am very excited about the quality of the finalists, and really, the candidates overall," said MCC Human Resources Director and search committee member Kylene Phipps. "The three finalists are familiar with the region and our western heritage. All three have a lot to bring to the table, not only to the campus, but the community as well."
Dan Koopman, associate vice president of instruction at Blue Mountain Community College, Oregon, will arrive on campus Nov. 4. A community forum is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 5, at MCC beginning at 5:30 p.m. Koopman said he's excited to visit Miles City and is looking forward to the opportunity to meet members of the community.
"I really am sold on rural-serving community colleges," Koopman said about the position. "I've been involved in rural college work since my induction into higher education in 2004. The rural communities, I feel, are unique and provide a great community atmosphere."
Koopman began his career in higher education in 2004, after 20 years in the K-12 arena as a teacher and building principal. His first position in higher education was as faculty and later an administrator at Oglala Lakota College in South Dakota. Koopman has played a vital role in strategic planning, program review, strategic enrollment management initiatives and student success practices.
He's been a collaborative facilitator with a track record of successful partnerships between colleges and workforce partners in the promotion of career technical programs and student success.
He has also been an institutional ambassador to local and state educational agencies.
As a strong advocate for data-driven decision-making in college programming, Koopman has experience with industry and university systems relating to articulation agreements, internships, and transfer degree programs. Koopman's expertise lies in strategic enrollment, student persistence and student success.
"With MCC, I would be able to partner with what I believe to be an outstanding team that's been developed over time with previous presidents," he said. "I understand that workforce training and the career technical education piece MCC provides to a community that has a lot of industry, especially in the natural resource area, is something I feel I can really contribute to. I'm excited about the opportunity."
Phipps said Koopman has an impressive resume, and would be a good fit if ultimately chosen.
"Dan Koopman has a proven track record of successful partnerships between colleges and workforce partners in career technical programs," Phipps said. "He has an appreciation for western culture and the western way of life. He also brings experience with development ed and career technical programs, as well as a strong background in the K-12 arena."

I'm some what of a history nut so bear with me :roll:One I like from philosopher George Santayana : "Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it."Another one I like is : Hail Caesar! We who are about to die salute you!The history behind the qoute :In the Roman civil war, Julius Caesar knew he had to march on Rome, which no legion was permitted to do. Marcus Lucanus left us a chronicle of what happened. "How swiftly Caesar had surmounted the mighty alps and in his mind conceived immense upheavals, coming war. When he reached the water of the little Rubicon, clearly to the leader through the murky night appeared a mighty image of his country in distress, grief in her face, her white hair streaming from her tower-crowned head, with tresses torn and shoulders bare, she stood before him and sighing said, "Where further do you march? Where do you take my standards warriors? If lawfully you come, if as citizens, this far only is allowed." Then trembling struck the leader's limbs, his hair grew stiff and weakness checked his progress, holding his feet at the rivers edge. At last he speaks, "Oh Thunderer, surveying Rome's walls from the Tarpeian Rock. Oh Phrygian house gods of Iulus, Clan and Mystery of Quirinus who was carried off to heaven, Oh Jupiter of Latium seated in lofty Alda and Hearths of Vesta, Oh Rome, equal to the highest deity, favor my plans! Not with impious weapons do I pursue you. Here am I, Caesar, conqueror of land and sea, your own soldier, everywhere, now too, if I am permitted. The man who makes me your enemy, it is he who be the guilty one." Then he broke the barriers of war and through the swollen river swiftly took his standards. And Caesar crossed the flood and reached the opposite bank. From Hesperia's Forbidden Fields he took his stand and said, "Here I abandoned peace and desecrated law; fortune it is you I follow. Farewell to treaties. From now on war is our judge!" Hail Caesar! We who are about to die salute you!
"statistics are made up %76 of the time"
"But oh! the blessing is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearless on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away" from a Life for a Life, a book written by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik in 1866.
One more - I love this one:'We sit togetherthe mountain and Itil only the mountain remains - Li Po
"Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana."...JP
Just remembered this one, probably my favorite of all."Never act when you are angry, we are at our worst when we are angry. Compose yourself, cool off, and gather your wits, then procede."Oh, and one of the rules for a great marriage, top of the list is "Never go to bed angry."...JP
Why yes Brian, neither you nor your spouse must go to bed angry. 8-)...JP

I guess for me it was when i started studying history and I realized the christians didnt always look like good guys. I was agnostic in like 5th grade and then a depressed but strong atheist by the time i got to high school
What made me become a "Strong Atheist"? - The constant hammering of being told to have respect for those who wouldn't even dream of granting the same to me. My skin has become thinner not thicker over the years and I now lash out at everyone who oversteps that line without exception, friend or foe.
I grew up in a Baptist household, but I was never convinced from the start. My father was a preacher & he use to simulate the act of catching the holy ghost which looked like he had a seizure moment which was bullshit. My mother raised me as a single parent & she was never was big on religion. She use to tell me to choose if I wanted to believe in a god or gods or not. My grandmother forced me as a child to be baptized & once she realized that I never went to church or paid my church dues I ask her to stop paying them for me to discontinue being associated with her church. What makes me a strong atheist in which I also trust that all atheist are strong atheist is the fact that I have been & will always be an empirical individual who uses deductive reasoning & the scientific method to explain any and everything that I had questions about. I personally feel religion should only be referenced as the history of explaining how primitive men & women thought processes were during the bronze age of man used to explain phenomenon that they could not explain until the tool of science freed us with the power of knowledge using empirical evidence. If it was up to me if humans did not use the practice of using the scientific method & common sense in their daily lives. There should be penalties & punishment for using any religion to live by before the facts of empirical evidence.
Religions make hating a virtue. The evil people are clearly defined, god hates them and so should you. Doing what I can to help to eliminate the needless hatred and the needless suffering engendered by religious myths is my gift to the future. Just like the people in the past payed it forward so I can have what I have today I will do the same for my descendents. We seem to have gained a large amount of ground in a short amount of time.

Administration, Organization & Responsibilities
1. Who heads the Judicial Branch?
Under state law, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is the head of the Judicial Branch and is responsible for its administration. See Section 51-1b of the Connecticut General Statutes. The chief court administrator is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Judicial Branch.
2. What does the chief court administrator do?
The chief justice appoints the chief court administrator to oversee the administration of the Judicial Branch. Section 51-5a of the Connecticut General Statutes outlines the duties and powers of the chief court administrator, who is assisted by the deputy chief court administrator.
The chief court administrator oversees five divisions within the branch: Administrative Services, Court Support Services, External Affairs, Information Technology, and Superior Court Operations. An executive director manages each of the five divisions and reports to the chief court administrator.
3. What is a chief administrative judge/administrative judge/presiding judge?
The chief court administrator appoints chief administrative judges to oversee the following Superior Court divisions: criminal, juvenile, civil and family, as well as judge trial referees. Their duties include working on behalf of and with the chief court administrator on policy matters affecting their respective areas.
The chief court administrator also appoints administrative judges and presiding judges. Administrative judges oversee the administrative operations of each of the state's 13 judicial districts. In addition, each judicial district has an assistant administrative judge.
Presiding judges expedite the fair disposition of court business within a particular judicial district. They also apportion among judges the judicial business to which such judge and other judges have been assigned.
4. What is the organization of the courts?
The Supreme Court is the state's highest court. It reviews decisions made in the Superior Court to determine if any errors of law have been made and also reviews selected decisions of the Appellate Court.
The Appellate Court, like the Supreme Court, reviews final decisions issued by the Superior Court to determine if errors of law have been committed.
State law specifies which types of appeals may be brought directly to the Supreme Court from the Superior Court, thereby bypassing the Appellate Court. These cases include decisions where the Superior Court has found a provision of the state constitution or a state statute invalid and convictions of capital felonies.
The Superior Court hears all legal matters except those over which the
Probate Court has exclusive
5. How are the Superior Courts structured?
The Superior Court hears civil, criminal, family and juvenile matters.
Connecticut has 13 judicial districts (JD) in which civil, criminal, family and juvenile matters are heard. Each "JD" has at least one JD courthouse and one "geographical area" court, although some judicial districts may have more than one GA court location. There are a total of 20 GA courts in the state.Civil jury, civil non-jury, administrative appeals and family matters generally are heard in a JD courthouse.
Regarding criminal cases, GA courts typically handle all arraignments. Each GA court receives criminal cases from a specified group of towns. Thus, where an alleged crime occurs determines in which GA the case will begin.
GA courts handle misdemeanors, felonies, and motor vehicle violations that require a court appearance. The most serious criminal offenses (i.e. capital felony, murder) are transferred from a GA to the JD level, commonly called "Part A."
For a more complete breakdown of JD and GA courts, please see the Judicial Branch directory.6. What about housing and small claims matters?
In all other judicial districts, housing cases are part of the regular civil docket and are heard in the judicial district courts courthouses.
Small claims also is part of the civil division. More small claims information.7. Are Probate Courts part of the Superior Court?
The grievance process begins when a complaint is filed with the Statewide Bar Counsel. The Chief Disciplinary Counsel's Office pursues those complaints before the Statewide Grievance Committee, in which there has been a finding of probable cause. The Chief Disciplinary Counsel's Office also litigates disciplinary matters in court.
The Connecticut Practice Book contains the Rules of Professional Conduct and the grievance procedure.
An attorney's status, including the imposition of public discipline, if any, is available on the Judicial Branch's website.11. Does the Judicial Branch oversee probation?
The Public Defender Services
Commission is the policy-making body and appointing authority for
the Division of Public
Defender Services.
Section 51-289(j) of the Connecticut General Statutes says that the
commission is an "an autonomous body within the judicial department
for fiscal and budgetary purposes only." Thus, while the commission
is part of the judicial branch, it is otherwise autonomous.
14. What is the difference between a state marshal and a judicial marshal?
Judicial marshals, who are part of the Judicial Branch, provide courthouse security and prisoner transportation. State marshals serve civil process and are overseen by the State Marshal Commission. Neither the state marshals nor the commission fall under the Judicial Branch's jurisdiction.
15. Is the Office of Victim Services the same as the Office of Victim Advocate?
No. The Office of Victim Services (OVS), which provides compensation and other services to crime victims, is part of the Judicial Branch. Court-based victim advocates are part of OVS.
The Office of Victim Advocate (OVA) is an independent state agency that evaluates and monitors how crime victims are treated by the state's criminal justice system. The OVA is not part of the Judicial Branch.16. What is the Centralized Infractions Bureau?
In 1990 certain violations became payable by mail to the CIB.17. What is the difference between an infraction and a violation?
1. How many judges are there?
Under Section 51-165 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the number of authorized judgeships is 201, including the justices of the Supreme Court and the judges of the Appellate Court.
2. How does a person
become a judge?
Under state law, the Judicial Selection Commission seeks and recommends to the governor qualified individuals for nomination as judges. The governor must choose a candidate from the approved list. The governor then refers his or her nominees to the General Assembly's Judiciary Committee for confirmation after a public hearing. Both chambers of the Legislature must approve the nominees.
If the legislature is not in session when the governor nominates prospective judges, interim appointments may occur. The prospective judge or judges appear before the Legislature's Judiciary Committee at a public hearing and may be approved by the committee as an interim appointment. During the next regular session of the General Assembly, the judge must again appear before the Judiciary Committee at a public hearing and then be approved by members of the Judiciary Committee, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Judges serve eight-year terms; upon expiration of their term, they may be reappointed. The Judicial Selection Commission, the governor, the Judiciary Committee and both chambers of the General Assembly, must again approve judges who are up for reappointment.
3. Does the Judicial Branch oversee the Judicial Selection Commission?
No. The Judicial Selection Commission (860-713-5300) is an independent, non-partisan commission of lawyers and non-lawyers appointed by the governor and the General Assembly to seek and approve qualified applicants for judgeships. The commission also evaluates incumbent judges who seek reappointment and forwards to the governor for consideration the names of those judges recommended for reappointment. The Judicial Selection Commission's powers are outlined in Section 51-44a of the Connecticut General Statutes.
4. What is the Judicial Review Council?
The Judicial Review Council (860-566-5424) investigates complaints against judges and may initiate an investigation. Its powers and composition are outlined in sections 51-51k and 51-51l of the Connecticut General Statutes. The Judicial Branch does not oversee the Judicial Review Council.
5. What is a judge trial referee?
Age 70 is the mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices, Appellate Court judges and Superior Court judges. Judge trial referees are judges who are 70 years or older and who have been designated by the chief justice of the Supreme Court to hear certain cases.
Senior judges have retired from full-time active service but have not reached age 70. Senior judges may hear matters, as assigned.
6. Who makes judges' assignments? How often do they occur?
The chief court administrator, in consultation with the deputy chief court administrator, assigns Superior Court judges. These assignments generally occur annually and typically run from September of one year to the end of August in the succeeding year. However, reassignments also may occur during the court year. The Judicial Branch website lists the assignments of all judges as well as all of the judges at a particular court location.
7. How much do judges earn?
Judges' salaries are set by the Legislature and are outlined in Section 51-47 of the Connecticut General Statutes.
8. Will a judge comment on a particular case before him/her?
Rule 2.10 of the Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits a judge from making any public statement that might reasonably be expected to affect the outcome or impair the fairness of a matter pending or impending in any court. The rule specifically allows a judge to make public statements in the course of official duties, to explain court procedures and to comment on any proceeding in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity.
9. What is a magistrate?
A magistrate is a lawyer who is not a judge but who is authorized to hear and decide certain types of cases. For example, family support magistrates hear cases involving child support. In addition, there are motor vehicle/small claims magistrates. Please see Connecticut General Statutes Section 51-193l through 51-193u, and Section 44-30 of the Connecticut Practice Book."
10. What is the Committee on Judicial Ethics?
The Committee on Judicial Ethics is appointed by the Chief Justice to issue formal and informal advisory opinions to judicial officials regarding their ethical and professional conduct. Its opinions are based on its interpretation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, court rules and state statutes. Four of the Committee's members are judges or judge trial referees, and one of its members is a law professor specializing in professional ethics. The committee posts its activities on the Ethics Committee webpage, which also includes its annual reports, membership, minutes and agendas, and policy and rules.
Getting Information

Connecticut Supreme Court on a case that I've been following. What's the
best way to get the ruling?
The best way is to monitor the Judicial Branch website.

3. I have some questions regarding the
Supreme Court's ruling and what it means. Can I get an explanation?
Judicial Branch personnel cannot provide a legal opinion, interpretation of a law or a comment regarding court rulings. We recommend that you either contact the parties in the case or an organization for attorneys.

The Case Lookup for criminal, motor vehicle, family, housing and small claims matters does not include actual documents from court files. Youthful Offender cases, juvenile cases, and infractions and violation convictions are not displayed.
6. How up-to-date is the "Case Lookup"
Case information includes all data entry completed by the close of business the previous day, so the most up-to-date information may not have been added when you look up a case. The best way to determine the most recent action in a file that is disclosable is to go to the clerk's office and review the file.
7. Where can I get an individual's criminal history?
Each criminal and motor vehicle charge resulting in a conviction within the past 10 years is included in the Judicial Branch's conviction database available through the website.
Convictions for infractions and violations, and unvacated forfeitures of bail or collateral deposited to secure a person's appearance in court in non-motor vehicle cases are not included in the database.
Please note that this criminal history record information may change daily due to erasures, corrections, pardons, and other modifications to individual criminal history record information. The Judicial Branch cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information except with respect to this date.
The official source for an individual's full criminal history is the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
8. How do I obtain statistics?
The Judicial Branch has a statistics page covering a wide variety of topics and may provide you with the information that you need.
If you are seeking statistics that are not included in the statistics page, please call the External Affairs Division at 860-757-2270. It the request involves a specific state statute, please also provide the statute number. In addition, we need to know how many years worth of data you are seeking and whether you are inquiring on a statewide or local level.
9. How can I find out information about a pending case?
For criminal, civil, family, housing and small claims cases that are disclosable, limited information may be available through the Case Lookup section of the Judicial Branch's website.
Documents that are disclosable in a criminal case file may be obtained through the clerk's office in the courthouse where the case is pending. Copy fees are $1 a page.
10. How do I obtain documents in cases that have been disposed?
Chapter 7 of the Connecticut Practice Book provides retention schedules for files and records. These rules outline what may or may not be available in a file once it is disposed, and for how long the information will be available.
For all types of files, you should start by contacting the clerk's office in the judicial district where the case originated to determine whether the file you are seeking is still there and/or disclosable. The clerk's office may inform you that the file has been sent to the Superior Court Records Center, located at 111 Phoenix Ave., Enfield. In that event, please obtain the following information from the clerk's office to provide to the records center:
The following information is necessary for the records center to locate a record:
The phone number at the records center is 860-741-3714.
Please note that information regarding disposed of cases may not be available because of state erasure laws Chapter 961a, "Criminal Records," Part 1, Erasure, of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Please also review the Superior Court Records Center brochure. PDF
11. How do I obtain a transcript of a court hearing?
Requests for transcripts of any court proceeding must be made by filling out a Transcript Order — Non-Appeal form (JD-ES-262). PDF
There is a fee for transcripts set forth in Section 51-63(c) of the Connecticut General Statutes.
12. What is a PSI? Can I get a copy?
PSI stands for presentence investigation. Section 54-91a(a) of the General Statutes says:
"No defendant convicted of a crime, other than a capital felony, the punishment for which may include imprisonment for more than a year, may be sentenced, or defendant's case otherwise disposed of, until a written report of investigation by a probation officer has been presented to and considered by the court, if the defendant is so convicted for the first time in this state; but any court may, in its discretion, order a presentence investigation for a defendant convicted of any crime or offense other than capital felony."
Section 54-91a 9(c) of the General Statutes outlines what information may be
included in a PSI.
It is not uncommon for court officials – the judge, prosecutor or public defender, for example – to refer in open court during a sentencing to information contained in the PSI. A PSI, however, is not disclosable to the public, pursuant to Section 43-9 of the Connecticut Practice Book.
13. Can you confirm whether someone applies for the alcohol-education program?
Certain diversionary programs in criminal court require that a file be sealed once a defendant applies for the program. These are statutory sealings; in other words, the Legislature put in the requirements for sealing. The court and court personnel are bound by these requirements.
When someone applies for the pretrial alcohol-education program, Section 54-56g of the General Statutes requires that the file be sealed. At that point, Judicial Branch personnel cannot confirm whether someone has applied for the program or not.
14. Does the Judicial Branch run the pretrial alcohol-education program?
No. The state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services runs and contracts for the program.
15. Are there other diversionary programs available to defendants?
Yes, there are. They are outlined in "A Guide to Special Sessions & Diversionary Programs in Connecticut". PDF
16. What information is available regarding investigative grand juries?
Please see Section 54-47e of the General Statutes.

Child protection, delinquency, Family with Service Needs and Youth in Crisis cases are handled at Connecticut's 12 Juvenile Court locations.
Child Protection involves cases of neglect, termination of parental rights and emancipation.

T. Rowe Price joins growing opposition to Dell buyout
By Aaron Pressman
(Reuters) - Dell Inc's third-largest shareholder, T. Rowe Price Group, on Tuesday joined a growing number of investors putting pressure on Michael Dell and his partner Silver Lake to sweeten their $24.4 billion buyout offer for the PC maker.
"We believe the proposed buyout does not reflect the value of Dell, and we do not intend to support the offer as put forward," T. Rowe Chief Investment Officer Brian Rogers said in a statement.
The money manager, which declined further comment, controlled 4.4 percent of Dell shares as of September 30, according to Thomson Reuters data.
The company has said it needs a majority of investors, excluding Chief Executive Michael Dell's 14 percent stake, to approve the transaction. With T. Rowe added to the list, at least six investors with more than 18 percent of Dell shares, excluding Dell's stake, have now said they oppose the deal.
T. Rowe is not typically known as an activist investor and it is rare for the money manager to come out so publicly against a deal. It joins Dell's second-largest shareholder, Southeastern Asset Management with an 8.5 percent stake, in voicing opposition.
"You have such credible voices, voices that are highly respected in the investment management community, saying that the price doesn't make sense," said Don Phillips, president of research at Morningstar in Chicago. "A very likely outcome is that Dell is still going to go private, but a higher price point."
A spokesman for Dell declined to comment beyond their previous statements. The company has said that its board had considered many strategic options before opting to go private.
Dell had retained a management consultant to help assess its position and concluded that the proposed all-cash deal was in the best interests of stockholders, the company said in a securities filing on Monday. Continued...

FLASHBACK: Limbaugh To "Feminazi[s]": Love Your Body, "Because Nobody Else Does"
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Rush Limbaugh is a pioneer in American misogyny: He popularized the use of the slur "feminazi" against women who seek to be treated equally in our society. Although he originally claimed that the word referred to "a specific type of feminist" and that there were "not many of them," Limbaugh has routinely used it to attack feminists, abortion-rights advocates, and progressive women alike.
In October 2008, he dragged out the slur to attack the National Organization for Women (NOW) for promoting "Love Your Body Day." In a press release on its website, NOW said the day marked "another year in our campaign to educate and encourage women and girls to say 'no' to negative stereotypes and 'yes' to awareness, health, and a positive body image."
It might seem like no one could possibly take issue with a campaign aiming to "encourage women and girls" to have "a positive body image."
But Rush Limbaugh did. He mocked the campaign by saying, "If you're a feminazi ... Love Your Body Day, because nobody else does." Repeating a line from an old column of his, he also said that "Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24" is that "feminism was established so that unattractive women could have easier access to the mainstream." Listen:
LIMBAUGH: Yesterday was Love Your Body Day, the NAGs. It was Love Your Body Day. The NAGs, the National Organization for Women, the NAGs, National Association for Gals. "For over a decade now, the" NAGs' "Love Your Body campaign has countered the unrealistic beauty standards, gender stereotypes and sometimes harmful messages. 'We are constantly bombarded by media's ideals of what beauty should be,' said the" NAG "Foundation President Kim Gandy."
" 'The vitriolic language used to describe Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin is a direct effect of the way media and advertising have created a world in which even the most powerful women are reduced to objectification,' said Gan-- " hey, you've been on the bandwagon to attack Palin.
What have I always told you, though? Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24: Feminism was established so that unattractive women could have easier access to the mainstream. So what happens? The very -- the only women who mind sexual harassment -- I'm just kidding, drive-bys. Just kidding, just a little lighthearted interjected comment here. You ever notice a Hooters girl doesn't care? Ram It Down Their Throats Day here on the EIB Network.
Feminist truth, undeniable truth of life: Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access -- and here you go, the NAGs with their Love Your Body Day. And there's actually -- they've got a -- like, a poster or sign here that says, "I love my thighs." What is this? "I love my thighs."
Love Your Body Day. If you're a feminazi, if you're a NAG, Love Your Body Day, because nobody else does. That's what this is all about. They can't stand that there are still pretty women in the world, and they really can't stand that one of the prettiest is a vice presidential nominee. But they do mention Sarah here as having been shellacked and attacked for her looks and so forth -- objectified. They say Sarah has been objectified.
But this is also about the women's movement that took away from us all the role of women in life. It's just all so twisted. So now, Love Your Body Day. Did we need a Love Your Body Day before the feminazis geared up? Love Your Body Day, because nobody else will.
So after years of calling women "feminzais," Limbaugh used the term to attack an organization for encouraging women to have "a positive body image." Just another display of cruelty from a man who laughed after the 2011 earthquake that killed thousands in Japan, mocked a transplant patient who faced expensive medical bills, and said Michael J. Fox "exaggerate[ed]" the effects of his Parkinson's disease.

Re: MEATeors
Just a comment/suggestion. I think your thumbnail could really benefit from a different image. It's hard to make anything out in the current one. Maybe zoom out a little bit and show the whole planet, or get some of the fork in there. Something like that to give the prospective voter a little more to go on.
I personally click on every single entry because I don't want to miss out on any hidden gems. But I know there are probably several people that just skim over the thumbnails and only click on the ones that look slightly interesting to them.
It's something I struggle with every week too...trying to figure out what image to use for the thumbnail. Not always easy.
Good luck.
It seems to me like a pretty obviously anti-McDonalds shirt.

Add bold citrus flavor to drinks, salads, desserts, and main dishes.
- Photo: Beau Gustafson; Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine
Beyond Ordinary with OrangesWhether the recipe calls for fresh squeezed juice or simple slices, oranges are the star of the citrus fruit world pairing as easily with chocolate and they do with pork or salmon. Grab a few and get cooking to bring bright flavor to your dinner table.
Spiced Orange SaladFresh oranges are peeled, thinly sliced crosswise, and then tossed with onions, olives and a fragrant vinaigrette made with cumin, curry, cilantro, and mint. The result is a startlingly colorful first course that is sure to jazz up any weeknight meal.
Salmon with Orange-Fennel SauceTart-sweet oranges, fresh rosemary, and crushed fennel seeds add a subtle herb-citrus flavor to broiled salmon fillets. Make the marinade up ahead of time and store separately until ready to use.
Chocolate-Orange TorteHere a store-bought chocolate muffin mix is enhanced with chopped almonds, fresh orange juice and zest for a dessert that tastes just as good as homemade. For the sauce, simmer orange juice and sugar on the stove for 10 minutes then drizzle over individual slices. Garnish with a hint of orange zest.
Planter's PunchFresh squeezed orange juice, pineapple juice, and guava nectar combine with rum to make a refreshingly simple tropical cocktail that will put guests in a Caribbean state of mind. No worries, man. Just sip and enjoy.
Strawberry-Orange SaladThis four-ingredient salad can do double-duty as a dessert, lending an elegant start or finish to any meal. Cut up the oranges and strawberries in advance and drizzle with the homemade basil syrup about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to marry.
Pork Chops with Cumin and OrangeFresh orange slices simmer with seared spiced pork chops adding a tart citrus note that cuts through the richness of the meat. While it seems fancy, the whole dish, including a side of couscous, cooks in less than 10 minutes.
Orange Sorbet with Bittersweet ChocolateYou only need a small amount of sugar to make an intense sorbet with only 150 calories per cup. And that includes a topping of grated bittersweet chocolate. So go ahead and have an extra scoop of Vitamin C today.
How-to Video: Juicing OrangesSee how easy it is to get freshly-squeezed citrus juice.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
This is the third issue of D90, soft-launched at the MCA zine fair in Sydney on Sunday 24th May, then, um, 'hard' launched (I guess that means 'offical') at Sticky on Friday 5th June 2009. Nearly half the zine is made up of mix-tape letters, and as such it's more about the glowy connections one makes when trading mix-tapes (and less a do/don't list). The Sticky Institute's awesome self collating/folding/stapling photocopier - the c3100 - is much to be thanked, as are the awesome volunteers and coordinators.

Google Avoids Paying $1.6 Billion USD In Taxes, UK PM Speaks Out
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: timebusinessblog.files.wordpress.com)
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills
Google has managed to skip paying about $1.6 billion USD (£1 billion)
in taxes
by way of the island Bermuda -- and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom isn't happy.
Google sent £6 billion through Bermuda over the course of last year, which halved its 2011 tax bill. In fact, Google funneled 80 percent of its global revenue through the island and ended up paying about £1 billion less to the government.
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said this "is called capitalism."
"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," said Schmidt. "I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills and need to be stopped. He even wrote a letter to fellow leaders of the G8 requesting a global crackdown on tax avoidance for large companies such as Google and Starbucks.
"I do believe we all have a common interest in being able to tell our taxpayers who work hard and pay their fair share of taxes that we will make sure others do the same," wrote Cameron in an open letter to the G8.
Google's UK Head Matt Brittin said politicians are the ones who set tax rates, and that Google is playing by their rules.
Google funneled £2.6 billion of British revenue through Bermuda, which cut its UK tax bill by £200 million.
In April of last year, it was reported that
Apple made $9.5 billion USD
in Britain for 2011, but only paid 0.16 percent in taxes. Amazon was also targeted for its
headquarters in the tiny European Union nation of Luxembourg and Google's placement in
Ireland with subsidiaries in the Caribbean and Luxembourg for more tax dodging gains.
The New York Times
blamed Apple for dodging billions in taxes
in a lengthy article last year.

One of the challenges in hockey analytics, or any type of data analysis, is how to best visualize data in a way that is exceptionally informative and yet really simple to understand. I have been working on a few things can came up with something that I think might be a useful tool to understand how a player gets utilized by his coach.
Let's start with some background. We can get an idea of how a player is utilized by looking at when the player gets used and how frequently he gets used. Offensive players get more ice time on the power play and more ice time when their team is trailing and needs a goal. Defensive players get more ice time on the PK and when they are protecting a lead. This all makes sense, but the issue is some teams spend more time on the PP or PK than others while bad teams end up trailing more than good teams and leading less. This means doing a straight time on ice comparison between players on different teams doesn't always accurately depict the usage of the player. If a player on the Red Wings plays the same number of minutes with the lead as a player on the Blue Jackets it doesn't mean the players are used int he same way. The Blue Jackets will lead a game significantly less than the Red Wings thus in the hypothetical example above the Blue Jackets are depending on their player a higher percent of the time with a lead than the Red Wings are their player.
To get around this I looked at percentages. If Player A played 500 minutes with a lead and his team played a total of 2000 minutes with a lead during games which Player A played, then Players A's ice time with a lead percentage would be 25%. In games in which Player A played he was used in 25% of the teams time leading. I can calculated these percentages for any situation from 5v5 to 4v5 or 5v4 special teams to leading and trailing situations. The challenge is to visualize the data in a clear and understandable way. To do this I use radar charts. Lets look at a couple examples so you get an idea and we'll use players that have extreme and opposite usages: Daniel Sedin and Manny Malhotra.
For those not up to speed on my terminology f10 is zone start adjusted ice time which ignores the 10 seconds after a face off in either the offensive or defensive zone.
The charts above are largely driven by PP and PK ice time but players that are used more often in offensive roles will have their charts bulge to the top and top right while those in more defensive roles will have their charts bulge more to the bottom and bottom left. Also, the larger the 'polygon' the more ice time and more relied on the player is. In the examples above, Sedin is clearly used more often in offensive situations and clearly gets more ice time.
Let's now look at a player who is used in a more balanced way, Zdeno Chara.
That is a chart that is representative of a big ice time player who plays in all situations. We can then take it a step further and compare players such as the following.
In normal 5v5 situations Gardiner was depended on about as much as Phaneuf, but Phaneuf was relied on a lot more on special teams and a bit more when protecting a lead. Of course, you can also compare across teams with these charts:
Phaneuf and Chara were depended on almost equally in all situations except on the PP where Phaneuf was used far more frequently.
I am not sure where I will go with these charts but I think I'll look at them from time to time as I am sure they will be of use in certain situations and I have a few ideas as to how to expand on them to make them even more interesting/useful.

When I was in my 30s and 40s I used all deeps. Then I saw full honey deeps. After 50, I use deeps for brood and mediums for honey and have not seen a deep full of honey since then.PS. A deep full of brood does NOT weigh 90 lbs.
Three mediums cost more than two deeps.Most treatments are measured out for deeps.Most nucs are sold in deeps.Most damage to backs is done during bending, rather then carrying. I would rather lift and carry one 60 lb box "2 bends" then 2 trips at 45 lb each."4 bends"I have removed many colonies of ferals and have never seen horizontal bee spaces in the middle of the combs, like different boxes give, so I like to use a minimum number of breaks in the comb. That's why I used all deeps when younger.Also, with a two frame extractor, I would rather extract 20 deeps than 30 mediums.

OTUSNews.com doesn't do politics as usual.
The ABC News Digital team – coordinating the OTUSNews.com launch with the ABC News-Yahoo! News Republican debate on December 10, 2011 -- developed deeply immersive and informative interactive content to complement our coverage, including:
- a real-time, exclusive Political Stock Market using breakthrough technology to combine the collective analysis of our political experts at ABC News and social sentiment from publicly available Facebook & Twitter comments, search, trending, and influencer data compiled and weighted in collaboration with Bluefin Labs.
-the Match-o-Matic, a playful yet informative interactive challenges users to answer a series of policy questions on subjects ranging from the economy & jobs to security & health care to find their top three political candidate matches in the 2012 field
-Game Changers – which is not your traditional Map to 270 – allows users to pick the Republican contender they'd like to take on President Obama and game out the path to the victory. Or, they can go back in time and play a fantasy match-up, pitting any presidential contender since 1960 against another.
- Now I Get It, animated, original digital videos explaining politics concepts or events such as the Iowa Caucus or New Hampshire Primary
Each of these features had one goal addressing the same primary challenge: how to tell the story of the election in a new and engaging way.
And we didn't aim to appeal only to one audience; we purposefully aimed to use technology to inform and entertain, drawing in an audience that might otherwise be turned off by political coverage.
The results have been encouraging: the Match-o-Matic alone has reached 1.3 million unique users to-date and we have signed an exclusive agreement with Bluefin Labs to continue our social experiment in the Political Stock Market through the remainder of the 2012 race.
We humbly submit OTUSNews.com for your consideration in the category of New Approaches: Current News Coverage as an example of innovation & experimentation at the intersection of the digital space and television – all in pursuit of new ways to tell a challenging but critical story.

Java 5.0, code-named "Tiger", promises to be the most significant new version of Java since the introduction of the language. With over a hundred substantial changes to the core language, as well as numerous library and API additions, developers have a variety of new features, facilities, and techniques available.But with so many changes, where do you start? You could read through the lengthy, often boring language specification; you could wait for the latest 500 page tome on concepts and theory; you could even play around with the new JDK, hoping you figure things out--or you can get straight to work with Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook.This no-nonsense, down-and-dirty guide by bestselling Java authors Brett McLaughlin and David Flanagan skips all the boring prose and lecture, and jumps right into Tiger. You'll have a handle on the important new features of the language by the end of the first chapter, and be neck-deep in code before you hit the halfway point. Using the task-oriented format of this new series, you'll get complete practical coverage of generics, learn how boxing and unboxing affects your type conversions, understand the power of varargs, learn how to write enumerated types and annotations, master Java's new formatting methods and the for/in loop, and even get a grip on concurrency in the JVM.Light on theory and long on practical application, Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook allows you to cut to the chase, getting straight to work with Tiger's new features. The new Developer's Notebooks series from O'Reilly covers important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing--you'll get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and code-intensive style that suits developers. If you've been curious about Tiger, but haven't known where to start, this no-fluff, lab-style guide is the solution.
Brett McLaughlin is a bestselling and award-winning non-fiction author. His books on computer programming, home theater, and analysis and design have sold in excess of 100,000 copies. He has been writing, editing, and producing technical books for nearly a decade, and is as comfortable in front of a word processor as he is behind a guitar, chasing his two sons and his daughter around the house, or laughing at reruns of Arrested Development with his wife. Brett spends most of his time these days on cognitive theory, codifying and expanding on the learning principles that shaped the Head First series into a bestselling phenomenon. He's curious about how humans best learn, why Star Wars was so formulaic and still so successful, and is adamant that a good video game is the most effective learning paradigm we have.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The Developer's Notebook series is modeled on the tradition of laboratory notebooks. Laboratory notebooks are an invaluable tool for researchers and their successors.The purpose of a laboratory notebook is to facilitate the recording of data and conclusions as the work is being conducted, creating a faithful and immediate history. The notebook begins with a title page that includes the owner's name and the subject of research. The pages of the notebook should be numbered and prefaced with a table of contents. Entries must be clear, easy to read, and accurately dated; they should use simple, direct language to indicate the name of the experiment and the steps taken. Calculations are written out carefully and relevant thoughts and ideas recorded. Each experiment is introduced and summarized as it is added to the notebook. The goal is to produce comprehensive, clearly organized notes that can be used as a reference. Careful documentation creates a valuable record and provides a practical guide for future developers. Reg Aubry was the production editor and copyeditor for Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook. Sada Preisch was the proofreader. Sada Preisch, Colleen Gorman, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Johnna and Tom Dinse wrote the index.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using the Officina Sans and JuniorHandwriting fonts.Melanie Wang designed the interior layout, based on a series design by Edie Freedman and David Futato. This book was converted by Julie Hawks to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies.

Quick and informative
By Gwen

Comments about oreilly Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook:
Overall Java 5.0 Tiger A Developer's Notebook was a quick informative read. The subject was audience appropriate and, as promised, did not waste time rehashing a basic Java tutorial.The examples were easy to follow and thorough though sometimes trivial. In particular the explanation of using parameterized Maps seemed too long considering the simple nature of the topic. One example on Enums on page 40 was fairly confusing due to an unintentional typo while, amusingly enough, describing the dangers of typos.I found the explanation of Generics useful especially the section dealing with type wildcards. The Enum section was particularly useful to me as I am have been converting work code over to use Enums. Also, while I have worked with Enums before I have not added methods to them, nor did I realized this functionality existed before reading the book. The section on Auto Boxing was interesting though could have been shorter in length as not much has changed from a user's standpoint. Before reading the book, I did not know about the new variable length argument list feature. I found this section particularly helpful. I found that the book seemed too dwell for too long on annotations which did not hold much interest for me. The section on formatting was informative and the jab at C fans was amusing.This book was very helpful in highlighting the new features of Java 5.0.

Where's the beef?
By Anonymous
Well done! I have been looking for this feedback coz multiple times the same has happened to me in case of orielly books. Not having the soft copy of code makes it impossible to cross check whether author is bluffing or not. And all those who have read exhaustively enough would know that some authors simply print out things which they aren't sure of themselves.
Good 1.5 Overview
By Etienne
This book provides a good overview of the new 1.5 language features. The only thing I did not like was the chapter on the new concurrent packages. I thought it was more confusing than helpful.
excellent 1.5 book
By Jeanne
"Java 1.5 Tiger – A Developer's Notebook" has all the information and quality we have come to expect from O'Reilly. However, the developer's notebook series has a very different style than the animal books. The book was a true page-turner and I read all 171 pages in two days.This book really looks like a notebook complete with notes in the margins, graph paper and coffee cup stains! There is also plenty of room in the margins for the reader to add notes. This book is informative, useful and looks really cool!A guru narrates the book. He tells you about Java 1.5 and answers your questions. Each chapter discusses several labs in a task/how to I do that?/what about ... format. It is like the author walks you through doing the labs. It really does read like a conversation. As the authors put it – "All lab, no lecture."The code examples begin on page two and are prevalent throughout the book. The authors give warnings about common pitfalls and tasks that you cannot do – just like you would expect a guru to do. The authors also give opinions and recommendations.The book assumes a working knowledge of java 1.4 (or earlier.) This is especially important in the conncurrency section. There is excellent cross-referencing so the chapters and tasks can be read in almost any order. I would not give a 5 unless a book was amazing. This one earned it!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Full keel, that is hilarious! Sorry, I should have given more info on the original post. I guess I mistakenly thought that most people do not flush paper in their heads. I do have the 1-ply marine stuff on board and will use it (in small amounts). I am glad to hear that not too many are brave enough to go the bag route with the smelly paper. I will pump often and try to train my wife and kids to only use normal amounts of paper.
Thanks to all for the input. BTW, I agree with the negative feelings about plastic bags. There are too many around, and certainly too many plying our oceans.
Smooth sailing and fair winds.

I agree with Cruisingdad that uncontrolled plastic is a very bad thing in the marine environment. There is tons of it floating around and with some products their use is sometimes unavoidable. BUTT...putting 'pooh paper' into a zip lock is a 'no can do' for me, especially if the pooh is inches from my nasal intakes!
I took a couple of ASA courses aboard a 50' Beneteau. The owner was a hardcore pooh bag believer and was adamant about their use. In each cabin, there was a head...inches away. No way I was going to sleep in a pooh pup tent for a week. I used the TP sparingly and had no clogs or problems the entire trip...well except for the 'gaseous twins' berthed on the other side of the (thankfully) sealed bulkhead separating our berths. Both were vertically challenged, well girthed methane factorys that were recently joined in marital bliss to 'inhouse' source the natural gas needed to fuel their fleet of delievery
vehicles used in their "QUITE" successful business. According to them, they not only had all the money in the world, they also were the source of all knowledge! (just like my ex, knows every @#$%ing thing!).....well in all areas except onboard heads.
Between the two, they had four head clogs and one really bad overflow. All that was missing was the yellow jackets buzzing and a half moon carved into their cabin door! Hell, those two couldn't get their own bottled water from the the refer without straining and jet propelling themselves into the depths of the icebox. No kidding, after not being able to ignore the screaming, we actually had to extract the woman out the refridgeration compartment after she had fallen in. I had a hard time containing myself from passing a little gas from all my hidden laughter, the pressure was almost too much....all I could think of when we each were heaving up on our respective limb....god, I hope there's no open flame and this is that two cloaked pigs in a paint shaker look like! It was a sight. Back to the pooh...
Although they denied using too much paper, the overflow on the sole told the 'rest of the story'. My grandmother's outhouse smelled like a bowl of potpourri compared to what was wafting from behind that door. Their food intake was amazing and personally I thought that even with an excretion rate of less than 25%, they would still need a fishbilly to break each stool into small enough bits to meet the head's specifications for passage. Punching pooh paper into a plastic pouch was the least of their problems!
I could go on, but you get the picture. We sailed for over a week...island to island...except for the 'twins', it was the second best sailing I've ever done but was very glad to get off the ship of pooh. The day before our return to Honolulu, I suffered a panick attack, no plastic pouch of pooh to prove my compliance. Damn, after some thought, I "MacGyvered" it. I wiped a half melted Hersey bar (no nuts) into a bunch of TP and pushed the pile of fake pooh into the pouch to prove compliance. Whew!
After docking and some clean up, we all left the boat with our pooh pouches. The twins were still in their bragging mode(no tip for the instructor either) , and some criticism lavished upon same....it was all I could take.
Don't know if it was payback for their plague to the olfactory senses they'd caused or the stench coming from the nearby dumpster on the dock, but clearly some form of retaliation was in order. I held up my fake pooh pouch and questioned "what do we do with this" The queen methane maiden goes into "I really do not know why we had to go to this extreme". While she started going into "what we would have done to make it better" routine, I opened my pooh pouch and stuck my nose DEEP into the pile of fake pooh. Well the tooting twins eyes both went into cartoon shock mode. Seeing their reaction was priceless and was cause for further action. While I said "it really doesn't smell too bad", I reached in and tore off a encrusted bit and put it in my mouth. "Doesn't taste too bad either"! Never saw anyone turn that shade of red....both hurled immediately on their brand new Harken luggage and Docksiders. No need to process that load...they puked in the cab too. It was OK, I really didn't want to share the cab to the airport anyway. The instructor didn't look too good either...until I told him what I'd done. He laughed so hard he barfed on his cooler. That was OK too, I think the hundred helped in that respect. Hey, I'm not rich either.
Should this go into the AFOC thread?
"one piece" they taught us in the navy when we could run low on paper. Put a hole in the middle of the sheet, stick your finger through it, get every thing with your finger then wipe your finger with the single piece of paper.
Never actually got that bad but it has been done.
Incidentally, plastic bags are a pet peeve of this South Floridian - especially zip locks.
You should know that one of the LEADING causes of death of sea turtles is plastic bags. Floating on the surface, they look just like a jelly fish (high on their diet and high on my dislike list). If they ingest them, it will most likely kill them via digestive system if it does not suffucate them first. THey are already a very endagered species. A lot of us go to great lengths to help them.
And for those that could give a crap (no pun intended) about the marine life, plastic bags do not dissolve for years-decades. Other than the fact that they are unsightly and end up on beautiful shores, they can do havoc to an engine intake. I have sucked one up during a storm and had to sail back into the dock... not something I would want to ever repeat.
So be VERY careful with plastic baggies and zip lock baggies. Bad news. And should I also mention that throwing them overboard is HIGHLY illegal?
Sorry - I love sea turtles and plastic baggies are a pet peeve. A few baggies can do more damage than a dozen great whites. Wipe your butt, throw it in the crapper, pump out or overboard in a legal discharge area... or jump in the water to relieve yourself and have the anchorage to yourself.
I put together a thread about this somewhere detailing my true thoughts. Not sure I want to repost it!!!! To say the least, wipe it and flush it in the toilet unless you do not want to have any friends on board (or in the surrounding anchorage!!!) I honestly cannot imagine the smell of that zip lock baggie about Tampa and further south. I can see my wife right now... "You want me to do what??!?? Fooogeetabuoit unless you wanna sleep in the dink!!"
As has been mentioned, just use a RV/marine grade TP or at least a septic safe (though some of these do not work as well). Charmin is probably the worst, incidentally. If you have back up problems it is likely because you have that 'calcium' buildup on the discharge line. Tp or not you are soon to have problems. The solution? Pull off the line and smack it against your neighbor's boat that bags his poop. It will make you feel better and knock off the crystals. HEHEHEHE!
Get the TP that says it is safe for RV and Septic systems...since that's basically what you've got...and RV head...
Would definitely agree with Keelhaulin's rule #5 but would also state that it is waived for certain guests, especially if they're pretty enough.

|Single ply paper breaks down well but dont use too much.Just a change of attitude is needed.Used our head continually and didn't use a plastic bag at all.Maybe organising and reducing garbage while cruising for extended periods could be another thread?
