Remember Me
AUSTIN, Texas, June 12 -- The Texas Department of Insurance issued the following news release:
Most Texans aren't prepared for the most common type of natural disaster: floods. People typically think of floods caused when a lake or river overflows. If they don't live near water, they don't think they need to take precautions. But flooding frequently occurs because of storms, heavy rains, or water main breaks.
Homeowners and renters insurance policies don't cover flood damage. To protect yourself from losses caused by most flooding, you'll need to buy a flood insurance policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). NFIP is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA estimates that only 12 percent of the flood policies in the United States were sold in Texas.
If you live in a high-risk area, your lender probably requires you to have flood insurance. But everyone should consider flood insurance. About 20 percent of the flood insurance claims that NFIP pays come from people who live in low-risk areas. If you don't have flood insurance, you'll have to pay for repairs out of your own pocket. The cost can be high. After Hurricane Ike, for instance, FEMA says the average flood damage claim was $67,000.
Flood insurance policies cover your house, your personal property, or both. The cost of a policy depends on where you live, but the average cost is about $600 a year. If you live in a low-risk area, you can buy a policy for as little as $129 a year.
For more information about flood insurance, to rate your risk, and to estimate your premium, call NFIP or visit its website
For answers to general insurance questions, for information on filing an insurance-related complaint, or to report suspected insurance fraud, call TDI's Consumer Help Line between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Central time, Monday-Friday, or visit our website

Hello! My name is Joelle. I am vegetarian and have been trying to transition to a raw food lifestyle for the past few months, (anonymously) soaking up the wealth of information and inspiration everyone on this forum has to offer.
While I would love to lose a little bit of weight and see my skin clear up, what's most important to me is feeling energetic, positive, and less stressed. I've suffered from anxiety and severe depression for most of my life, but I feel relief from both when I stick to a simple plant-based, mostly raw diet. I don't think I've been fully raw for more than a couple of days at a time thus far, but I'm committed to making the full transition.
I'm absolutely thrilled to finally be a part of this community and I'm looking forward to many exchanges with all of you :)

James Prosek's "Fly Fishing The 41st"
Sketchbook idea for a Lake Michigan Series I'm planning
Earlier this summer, I read Mark Twain's "Life on The Mississippi" and loved the sense of adventure. I'm half way through another river adventure book: "Fly Fishing The 41st". This seasoned artist, fisher of trout, and gifted writer traveled around the world on the 41st parallel seeking native trout. Here are the locations on the 41st parallel: Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Japan and of Prosek's home town in Connecticut. Trout can only be found in the most pristine of rivers and ones that run cold. The cold water holds the high dissolved oxygen content that that these elusive fish need. I heard about him through this program on Public Radio:
You can see his work here:James Prosek's Web Page
Information on his books can be found here:books including Fly Fishing the 41st
Since March, I've been working in my sketchbook and following my muse. The muse has said to work on site and small for the moment and I've obeyed. This fall I've signed up for a creative drawing class and I think things are about to get shaken up again.
Our first assignment was to change the support we use. I'm trying out some experiments with silk organza as a surface. These experiments are leading me toward maybe a series of paintings on Lake Michigan. I'll probably have time to do these in January when I have my winter break at school.Here's a peek in my class sketchbook and my experiments with organza.
Experiments with Silk Organza (fabric layer only)

these are absolutely beautiful! -and 2 for the price of one can't be bad!
I have to try this
I like the sketchbook page on the previous post too - Wednesday, September 10, 2008
- Brian McGurgan said...
Creative drawing indeed! This is a really imaginative idea, Lindsay. I like the accidental mono print - definitely a happy accident. Nice rich colors, too.
- Wednesday, September 10, 2008
- Lindsay said...
Thanks Vivien and Brian.
Vivien, I'm experimenting with using PVA glue to adhere the fabric to the paper and also thumb tacking it down so it can be removed. I'll post my results. - Wednesday, September 10, 2008
- Shirley said...
Can't wait to see more of your organza paintings. What paints are you using? I took a workshop last year from Traci Bautista and she loves using the paper towels from Costco - and can paint and then collage these. I use procion MX dyes on silk, but have not tried paints. - Thursday, September 11, 2008
- Lindsay said...
Hi Shirley. I'm using oil pastels. They work really well and I wonder of soft pastels would work too.
I've usd the procion MS dyes too and love them but they are not very painterly.....at least in my handshaha - Thursday, September 11, 2008
- suzanne said...
Oooh...I am LOVING these experiments...
- Thursday, September 11, 2008
- Toni said...
Oh how fun!! I love to experiment.
Have you tried gluing down with an acrylic medium? or even clear gesso which would really give you a ground for your oil pastels. - Friday, September 12, 2008
- Gesa said...
Oh... all so experimental - from the sketches and organza support this can only be something fabulous. I am very curious and it gives me some idea of what to do (differently) with my summer island sketches. Will be watching closely :)
- Friday, September 12, 2008
- Lindsay said...
Thanks suzanne Toni and Gesa. I'll have to try your idea Tony. I've used clear gesso as a ground but found it a bit too grainy. But the organza would tone that down a bit!
- Friday, September 12, 2008
- Robyn said...
Such a romantic ground to be working on, Lindsay. What an inspired idea. Sounds like this series would be beautiful viewed as a screen with light behind rather than on a wall. Very exciting to see where you go with this.
- Sunday, September 14, 2008
- Lindsay said...
Thanks Robyn and it's surprisingly durable. Will post more soon!
- Sunday, September 14, 2008
- laura said...
Very interesting post. I'll look for the Prosek book--clever idea. The sketchbook page is just beautiful--Diebenkornish. The class sounds so great; I wish we had classes here that would challenge us in that way--I look forward to seeing the results!
- Tuesday, September 16, 2008
- daviddrawsandpaints said...
I particularly like the first sketchbook image with it's blues and orange but also applaud your experimants with the organza.
Do you go fly-fishing too? - Tuesday, September 16, 2008
- Lindsay said...
David, thanks for your two lovely comments and support. No, at present I don't fly fish but I think I'd like to learn at some point. I'd also like tolear how to tie a fly....looks like a refined art form

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Home Styles Bedford Solid Wood Laptop Writing Desk with Hutch in Ebony:
Great design and material. Very solid construction! Many uses as a laptop and homework station, as well as a mail/bill station. My daughter named it "Information Central". Not too big like some of its brethren, perfect for smaller spaces.
Excellent Quality Desk

About Me High-end Shopper

Definitely met my expections!
By Lizzy
from Brechin, Ontario
This desk more than met my expectations. I wanted a small desk to fit into the corner of my kitchen so I could have my laptop readily available. It's a great looking piece of furniture and the ebony colour looks great with my black appliances. One of the 4 drawers catches slightly and may be able to be adjusted. Only real drawback - should have L brackets included to attach the hutch to the desk as a safety feature. I do love this desk!
I Love my new desk!!
By hairdale
from Atlanta Ga
I read a review from another customer that said he had diffculty with assembly.... my husband had no such problems. It was assembled in less than 30 minutes!!!
Very Satisfied
By Smoots
from Sellersburg, IN
The desk is my personal desk in my home office. I had to return the first desk I bought from Target because it was unsturdy. The desk I got from Target took hours to assemble. The way the desk from Computerdesks.com took no time to assemble at all. I am incredibly satisfied [...] the quality of the product, and the ease of assembly.
Great desk, required some adjustments.
By Much2Silly4U
from Denver, CO
I had to cut most of the pegs down to fit properly between the bars. Looks great in any room. Sturdy. Screw covers had to be re-glued in as well. If you can make a few adjustments with out too much difficulty the end result is great.

Coming Soon…Project 2: Across the Pond (ATP)
Now that we have picked our overall winner, it's time to get more specific. Accents are awesome. Who doesn't love an accent? So, "Across the Pond" came to be.
The purpose of this contest was to determine the most attractive celebrity from "Across the Pond." Although the "pond" usually refers to the Atlantic Ocean, we opened this up for this contest to any country not North America (seeing as how that's where we are). Other rules were simple. All picks (8-10 per lady) had to be of legal age claiming a country of origin not in North America (so the US and Canada were out). All picks had to be alive. Again, three photos must be submitted: (1) Outfit of choice, (2) Headshot, and (3) Shirtless/Too Classy for Shirtless. Two videos no more than 3 min in duration were required. One additional requirement was made for all video evidence: one video entry had to showcase his accent (or show him speaking).
Note: Any pick from Project 1 could participate in Project 2: ATP provided that he met the criteria, and could be selected by any lady as a pick.

Sandy Assistance Streamlined for Developers and Landlords
The effort is intended to speed access to financing and accelerate recovery efforts in areas affected by Sandy.
The Federal Housing Administration will speed the approval of applications made by owners of multi-family apartments in New York and New Jersey looking to refinance mortgages, substantially rehabilitate their properties, or construct new developments in Hurricane Sandy-impacted areas, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan said in a release.
According to a release, the order is effective immediately. The streamlined approval process, by design, is intended to accelerate access to mortgage financing for apartment owners and to facilitate recovery in the multi-family residential sector.
From a release:
December 7, 2012, the President issued an Executive Order establishing the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and directed Donovan to lead the Task Force and, to the extent permitted by law, align relevant programs and authorities with a long-term rebuilding plan that supports the region's economic vitality, enhance infrastructure, and ensure appropriate accountability.
"Today's announcement is intended to make certain that those multifamily apartment owners in New York and New Jersey get priority treatment when applying for FHA-insured mortgages," Donovan said in a release. "We have to do everything we can to support the long-term rebuilding efforts in these impacted areas to the greatest degree we can and this is one way we can."
6:29 am on Thursday, February 14, 2013
In a lot of ways, this makes sense. If thousands of residents are going to be pushed out of their homes,they will need housing. To facilitate this, the landlords and developers NEED to be propped up ( prioritized). The Feds can figure out the rest later

Many homeowners want to repair and rebuild and they deserve to have that red tape lifted just as much if not more than those who are in business and haven't lost their own homes.
Ali Kraft
3:50 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Yea ok sure. My "substantially damaged home" is a small ranch on the lagoon. We cannot live there at present. Lets see, it will cost about $60,000 to raise it and put the piling underneath at least cause we are in the "v" zone, about $80,000 to put it back the way it was inside and out. I owe $290,000 on the mortgage. The flood insurance rates will go up no matter what we do, albiet not as much if we do not raise it. The old Aerosmith song song, " Walk this Way" is what we decided to do, as in, walk away.
4:48 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
That is the conundrum @AliCraft, what does one do? I would like to make an informed decision, but can't get any qualified information from FEMA or the NFIP. Walking your way is not an option for me. If more and more property owners follow in your footsteps, here comes housing bubble number 2, and the ripple associated with it. So much for any economic recovery anytime soon. It's like Deja Vu all over again.
7:12 am on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Ali Kraft - many will be forced into your same circumstance. I understand the Amish are raising homes in the neighborhood of twenty to thirty thousand. Not cheap, but cheaper than what you had been quoted.
Many will be walking away from their homes, for the very reasons you stated.
Proud - the second housing bubble is already here.
Laura S. River
5:05 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Proud, Think about that posters case. They will be into that home for about $430,000 if they go forward with the new regs. No way, no how is a small lagoon ranch worth almost a half a millon dollars anytime soon or in my life time for that matter.Lucky it's worth 100k now. and I said lucky in it's current condition accoring to the post.
5:30 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I understand and agree with you @Linda S. River and feel very badly for @AliCraft and all of us affected.
5:15 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
If we can't raise our house ($60,000+ even if we had yard space to move it aside for pile-driving)... and we can't afford $30,000 per year for insurance premiums... and we can't sell it (who'd buy it with those huge extra costs?), we'll ABANDON it when it's foreclosed. Tens of thousands of others will do the same -- along the entire coastline. FEMA has caused more damage than the storm ever did!
Come to the meeting Sat. Feb. 23rd, 3-4 PM, at Belly Busters Restaurant, 708 Fischer Blvd., Toms River. More info at Facebook.com/StopFemaNow

Sue, The problem: or maybe not the problem for the homeowner is that in NJ if you muster up a good attorney. The bank will not get your home for over three years at least. So what is the world will some of these homes look like years from now when the bank does come a knocking if they are somewhat redone, not raised, partialy remediated or just plain not touched at all.
5:52 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Found out it has to be for 5 or more units, wish they would put more details in this article.

Assault Weapons Ban? Here's Where Lehigh Valley Lawmakers Stand
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has change of heart, backs ban, as does Representative-Elect Cartwright.
On the hot-button issue of banning semi-automatic assault weapons, one area congressman-elect has come out swinging and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania has had a change of heart.
Casey, who just won a second term, told the Philadelphia Inquirer recently that he was haunted by images from the massacre at Newtown where Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother before murdering 20 children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Previously, he had opposed an assault weapons ban, but since Newtown he had decided he would support one as well as a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
"The power of the weapon, the number of bullets that hit each child, that was so, to me, just so chilling, it haunts me," Casey said.
U.S. Representative-Elect Matt Cartwright, who will be sworn in for his first term representing the 17th District on Jan. 3, talked about his support for a ban in an op-ed piece in The Morning Call on Dec. 27.
"This kind of firepower is not necessary for hunting or self-defense," wrote Cartwright, who fills the seat held by Rep. Tim Holden. "Our American experience has showed us example after example of assault rifles and high-capacity clips being used in mass killings of innocent people."
Cartwright and Casey won't have to wait long to co-sponsor legislation on a ban. Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced that she will introduce such a bill on the first day of the new session and U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York plan to introduce a companion bill in the House.
Without saying categorically how they would vote on such a measure, U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent, R-15, and Sen. Pat Toomey have steered clear of endorsing a ban.
Dent issued a statement saying he wants Congress to "examine all of the possible solutions" including such aspects as increased school security and training school personnel, reviewing measures to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, getting help for those who exhibit "severe emotional problems or violent tendencies" and looking at the role violent entertainment might play in such incidents.
Dent Spokesman Shawn Millan said the congressman isn't endorsing the NRA position of putting a police officer or armed guard in every school. But Dent wants to look at ways to enhance security in schools so they would be more protected from attacks.
Toomey's office, which failed to respond to a request for comment, told the Morning Call that "among other things, we need to have a discussion about the best way to better identify and protect ourselves from dangerous and mentally deranged individuals who seek to carry out such atrocities."
Several local mayors have weighed in on the issue by signing a letter from more than 750 mayors to President Barack Obama supporting laws to "get high capacity rifles and ammunition magazines off our streets" and "require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check."
Among the signers were Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr., West Easton Mayor Gerald W. Gross, Wilson Mayor David Perruso and Emmaus Mayor Winfield Iobst.
The letter also says measures should be taken to beef up enforcement of gun laws already on the books, such as prosecuting people who are prohibiting from buying firearms who attempt to do so.
"In 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred more than 71,000 such cases to ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives], but U.S. Attorneys ultimately prosecuted only 77 of them," the letter said.

Rich Cranium, great post!... I've never watched that video prior and DID enjoy the whole concept. It was worth the 28 minutes. Rich I also agree with you. Thank you both for your comments. The government officials have no real clue as to how to properly control gun issues. It's a shame that we have put ignorant people in charge of this issue.

Banning certain types of weapons will not stop bad guys from doing what they do best. It definitely will not keep rifles and/or handguns from out of their reach. All a ban will do is promote black market sales. Proposing a ban is a quick fix answer from legislators to silence the scream of the public instead of examining the real nature of the problem...the scum that do this dirt. In a CQC scenario, any gun can cause the same carnage that happen in CT. People need to educate themselves as opposed to just following the herd of followers. IMO

Ban booze , growth of the mob . Ban drugs , proliferation of drug cartels . Black market for rifles that look like assualt weapons but are not fully automatic could provide a whole new growth opportunity for those that ignore laws . Rational thinking seems to be lacking right now .

The closest parallel I can draw is my car and motorcycle. I need a license to operate both, they have to be registered, I have to prove I can operate them responsibly, I have to have them inspected each year so they pose no threat to other drivers. I'm not sure why reasonable, logical laws (like the assault weapons ban, the gun show loophole, failing to register being a felony not a misdemeanor as it is in Pa.) are opposed so vociferously. I don't think such laws are an impingement of a gun owners rights. Of course such a ban doesn't prevent further discussion on keeping them out of the hands of sick or violent predators; that can still be open to discussion.
As for blaming inanimate objects... we don't blame cars for DUI deaths but I can't imagine anyone thinking DUI laws are a bad idea. Such laws don't stop drunks from getting behind the wheel but they at least keep some from getting behind the wheel.
Just my 2 cents. I come from a family of deer hunters and would never advocate disarming the people; but certain things just make sense. The NRA blames societal breakdown and then argues that what makes sense is more guns that are easier to get. That position seems somewhat ludicrous to me.
7:08 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
I agree, we don't blame cars for DUI deaths, so why blame the weapon used and ban it. You contradicted your own statement.

There isn't a historical trend of governments banning and confiscating vehicles, before killing, enslaving, or putting them in concentration camps. Can't happen in the U.S.? What about the Japanese-American people put into internment camps during WWII? What if the Jews, homosexuals, and Gypsies had the tools to fight back against the Nazis?
11:18 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Its not so much of what is proposed to be banned as it is being told what we as American citizens are not allowed to own. We are supposed to be the land of the free yet we have more rules and regulations than most of the rest of the world. Drugs are illegal yet how many children are killed in drug related incidents everyday. Its unfortunate that there are just bad people in this world, but what is good without bad. How would we know what good is if there wasnt bad. I am not insensitive to someone killing children, I have five of my own. If any of them were killed I would not be upset at the weapon used. Dead is dead weather assault rifle, knife, or BB gun. People are killed every day by automobiles, are they gona stop making larger vehicles because they could kill more people at a time than a small car? I have served in two branches of our military and have been to at least 15 other countries and one thing I learned early on is that the rest or the world thinks that all US citizens are heavily armed. This is why no other country will send a ground invasion to our land. We have a tough military but they fight because its their job. We all know what happens when one fights for thier family and land. Thats how we won our independance. Banning any type of weapon's will only keep them out of the hands of the law abiding citizens and posibly opening us up for war here where we live.
11:32 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Drugs kill more people than guns and drugs ARE illegal.
While controlled as described by previous poster, cars are legal. Yet more traffic deaths happen than gun deaths. How many people drive without insurance, or licenses, or inspection? Does the laws the government makes stop vehicle deaths? The government can not control the laws it has without creating a police state in this country.
A gun ban would be like a new prohibition of our time. There is no way the government would be able to enforce it, it'd cost the American tax payer, and it'd lead to the overthrow our system. Law makers need to wake the Eff up.
11:55 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Reality is we will never keep weapons out of criminal hands. This will only create a bigger black market for guns and they will continue to get into the US.
Does this mean we will ban fertilizer, cars, Liquor? These all kill.
11:48 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Dogs kill people with their claws and teeth. We should defang and declaw all dogs because you just can't be too safe.

The assault weapons ban has nothing to do with the Connecticut shooting. This ban would not have stopped it from happening and will only make matters worse in this country. Criminals do not care about the law. Bad people exist. You can't pass a law that will fix that and knee-jerk fear mongering to get a bad bill passed is certainly not the answer. Also, people keep calling .223 a high power round, when it's not. It's almost the smallest rifle round you can buy. It's fast, accurate, and was designed to wound so that enemy armies would have to spend resources healing wounded soldiers. This whole thing is based on what guns look "Scary". People need to wake up and read some statistics.
Robert Atkinson
7:40 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
Connecticut had an "assault weapon" ban when the Sandy Hook shooting occurred. The school is supposed to be a "gun-free" zone. The Columbine shooting and North Hollywood bank shoot-out happened during the 1994 Clinton assault weapon ban. Columbine was supposed to be a "gun-free" zone. California very very very rarely issues carry permits to average citizens.
4:03 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
So, MD, the .223 is a round designed for war and not hunting, sport or personal protection?
Then why the hell is it being sold to the public?
So the criminals can busy themselves with tending to their wounded? You conservatives crack me up! You are so afraid, that you don't even hear your own BS as it spews forth from your lips.

Bob Jones

Precisely. How does the mere discussion of a ban on military grade assault rifles equate to a complete end to all private gun ownership??. I own a couple guns myself, but don't feel I have the "right" to own a flamethrower or an RPG. Guess I'll just have to get by with a .30-.30 when the zombie apocalypse comes.
8:44 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
there's no where in the constitution to draw the line. technically, i should be able to own a atom bomb. I'm not insane, I won't use it to hurt people. but, like you said, if there is a zombie apocalypse, I am armed for it. I too am a responsible gun owner, but I should be able to own a atom bomb as well. right?lol
John Fox

Actually a 223 is a varmint hunting round. A 5.56x45 is a military round.
Robert Atkinson
7:43 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
Both are essentially the same. 5.56x45mm will send the bullet out a a SLIGHTLY higher velocity, but the two are mostly identical in terms of wounding capability.
Doug McTighe

Hammers are designed to hit nails, so when they are used for lethal things it must make them completely useless to the "civilian" non-contractor population. Get a grip you whacko libtards! Blame the user, not the tool!
Also, an AR is not the same thing as a military weapon for you who don't even know the facts. The idea that people would be against the patriot act because its unconstitutional, but would support gun control as "the only logical step" is BEYOND ludicrous! Keep giving your rights away LIB-O's! And don't wonder why you have no protection from the monster government you people are creating! Nazi Germany 2.0. You've been warned.

I watch the youtube video above and agree completely, its worth the 28 minutes to watch the whole video. The bill, if passed would ban the future manufacture of assault weapons and any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. It would ban weapons that are currently in production that have the potential of holding more than 10 rounds. That means that your home defense semiautomatic firearm, Glock, Sig Sauer, S&W M&P, XDM, etc all have the potential to hold more than 10 rounds, they would all be subject to the ban. The other stipulation in the bill would be to register every weapon that has been banned from manufacture, so the federal government would know who has what. Future legislation could be passed to completely ban these weapons ans since you are registered, you would have to give them up, thus significantly disarming the population and preventing the overthrow of a tyranic government, which the second amendment was written to prevent, it was written as the second amendment, because it was so important. Another aspect of the bill would be to prevent transfer of these weapons to anyone, including your spouse, children, etc. So upon your death, they would have to be forfitted to the government. So if an all out ban never came into existance, in about 50-70 years, all of these weapons would be in the hands of the government anyway, thus preventing the people from overthrowing a tyrannical government.
1:55 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
"The art of diplomacy is saying, nice doggy, until you find a bigger rock". Should we the American people allow this ban to happen? My resounding answer is NO. If we do, we are allowing for a precedent to be made. From that day forward, that action will be referred to as, past practice. Please: A mentally ill man obtained an unsecured firearm and committed a series of acts that were horrific. Had he not been able to procure that unsecured firearm, he may then, in his deranged state, chosen a pointed or edged weapon. If none of those objects were available, his sick and demented mind would have gone to basic insinct: a rock. Irregardless of the type of object used to do harm, a person who means to do harm, will. This country will not benefit by banning guns of any kind.
Patrick Herring
10:40 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
Banning here meant banning assault weapons and high capacity clips. It does not mean banning guns. No one needs assault weapons, automatic rifles to take down a deer or a bear. If he does, he would have no meat to take home, nor hide to hang on his wall.
Studies had shown again and again in other countries, that limiting number of assault weapons and bullets would reduce the number of shooting incidents. No gun ban, just regulate what is available a bit better to keep the numbers down. If a deranged person uses rock to harm people, he would not be able to kill 26 people. Assault weapons allow this to happen.
We need to debate this point without any limitations and pre-conditions. The second amendment was drafted in eighteenth century, so a real revisit is needed. A smart, reasonable person should not wrap himself around this amendment and prevents a thoughtful discussion to happen.
Robert Atkinson
7:49 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
Herring: There's nothing in the 2nd Amendment about hunting, "sporting purposes," "reasonable restrictions," and certainly nothing about "conforming to global norms." Does the 1st Amendment not apply to faxed documents, telephone conversations, or the internet?

When was the last time a gun show, gun store, shooting range was the scene of a mass shooting or even a robbery? you would have to be crazy, why? there is a deterrent, all these shooting have taken place "where guns are not allowed" where's the deterrent? that is why crazies take advantage of this. I enjoy shooting my rifles, i have no intentions of going on a shooting spree, but you want to take away my hobby because of some nutcases? the only one you would hurt would be law abiding citizens like myself, the criminals don't care. those who have these rifle illegally are not going to sit in their home and say, i'd better take my low capacity magazines because my high caps are against the law to go kill people, no they will take them, they do not care about the law, but i am being punished because of it. remember our country was not ours until George Washington fought for it, do you think he had tea with the British to solve it? No, he shot them. Everyone says that only police and military should have them, why? No cops or service men have mental problems? Someone breaks into my home at 3am, i call the cops, the average response time is 17+ minutes, shall I ask the would be burglar to wait? Shall I let them rape my wife? Cops only carry guns to protect themselves, not us. How are you going to protect your family? Are you just going to lie there and have some stranger decide whether you live or die. I want a say in that, even if you do not.

It must suck walking around in life, totally clueless about the issues at hand. Why would you want to disarm law abiding citizens? Do you think, under and law, the criminals are going to abide by it? You foolish, foolish man. A criminal breaks into your home, how will you defend yourself? Would you let them rape your daughter? Kill your wife? Take your life? At least with a weapon, i can at least try to defend myself, What can you do, sit there and watch and wait until the police show up, providing you were able to get to a phone in time. I care about my family to WANT to protect them, not sit idly by and let strangers make life decisions for me.

I think the analogy presented regarding cars that go over 65 mph, and anything with alcohol over a certain percentage point hits home. Take out the politics and media hype, and place some reality into the conversation. Use facts, rather than emotion. The extremely vast majority of gun owners DO NOT shoot anyone...never have and most likely never will. Those same people who want to ban assault rifles will buy their 16 year old a Mustang GT 500 for their birthday. Or legalize pot, or drink with their kids and their friends. Let's avoid the hypocrisy! A tragedy occurred in Connecticut, while on the same day tens of thousands of assault weapon owners injured nobody. Actually, the only people benefitting from this rhetoric are the gunshops and Cabellas. Prices and sales are going through the roof. This rhetoric will occur until yet another nut job shoots yet another "Tiller the baby killer", then we can shift the focus to yet another political rhetorical blah blah, and decrease the cost of my ammo!

Carl W.....What my comments say about me is that I would protect my family from an invading intruder. You go onto to say where are the schools. Your thoughts /words indicate your idiotic Liberalism.And before you make comments about the Castle Doctrine understand the law you ignoramus.
Toomey and Dent won't vote for the ban because they are sensible men who understand that there are better solutions than tearing down the 2nd amendment. Many of their consituents are law abiding gun toting citizens whom they know will be violated by changing the law if they listen to liberal freaks like you who won't vote for them anyway.

I have been a hunter for over 40 years. I don't go hunting with or allow people on my property that I deem are a danger to themselves or others. There are some people that should not be able to own guns ( the crazies). We should have an assault weapons ban. The only reason the NRA exists is to protect the rights of crazy people that want to own guns. I have never been and will never be a member of the NRA- reasonable sportsmen don't need them. Should we allow blind people to drive a car or go hunting and if not don't they have the same rights as people that can see?

Maybe you have never heard of Boar Hunting? AR-15 and AR-10 rifles are the most popular firearms used to boar hunt, especially in Texas and other Southern States where the boar population is exploding.
2:18 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2013
John Fox, Once again the educated school the ignorant. These gun control people have no clue what the facts are...it's all emotion and what they hear through a biased media. It's the feel good approach! No substance...all emotion! Example...their happy leader Joe Biden the idiot!
7:32 am on Friday, March 22, 2013
They don't need an AR-15 to take down a boar just like you don't need one to take down an elk or a bear. They obviously have people in Texas that cannot shoot worth a damn!

JD arguing with you is like playing chess with a pigeon. no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon (you) will only knock over the pieces shit all over the game board and strut around looking victorious.
So this is my final response to you:
You inferred that only crazy people own AR-15 rifles and I presented you with a legitimate use for an AR-15 (you know because target shooting, exercising my rights, and being able to defend my family are apparently crazy reasons to own one) and you just dismiss it because it doesn't fit with your thought process. Me and the other 2 million or so AR owners in the country will continue to enjoy our modern sporting rifles. At one point nearly every firearm design was a "military style" rifle, Leaver action rifles were once the "high capacity assault rifle" During the civil war a few union solders were equipped with leaver action repeating rifles and the confederates called it "the Yankee rifle that they could load on Sunday and shoot all week."
If the "cannot shoot worth a damn" argument was valid argument to not use and AR rifle for hunting (which it isn't) than I hope that you only use a single shot rifle to hunt, because if you need more than one shot, obviously you cannot shoot worth a damn. And who needs those self contained cartridges too!! You don't need anything more than a muzzle-loader.

Each year, Pace Law School – in conjunction with
the University of Vienna – hosts the Willem C. Vis
International Commercial Arbitration Moot in which
students address a hypothetical business transaction which had gone
wrong, and which parties to the dispute are trying to resolve
through arbitration. Over 250 law schools from around the world
participate in this competition.
For the team from New York Law
School, the Vis competition is a year-long project-based learning course
(two credits per semester) taught and coached by Prof.
Lloyd Bonfield (who is Director of the Center for
International Law), and which is graded on a pass/fail basis. (There is a
possibility to receive a "Pass with Distinction.") To
participate in the Vis competition, students must enroll through the
office. (For general information on project-based learning
courses, click
The course prepares the team for the Vis
competition. Students must submit a brief in December 2013, a reply brief
in January 2014, and then participate in the moot in Vienna, Austria,
in March or April 2014. (Not all students will attend the moot in
Vienna.) Students are assigned issues that emerge from the problem.
Although each student is responsible for producing a part of the brief,
research is collaborative. Each student critiques the sections produced by
other team members. Likewise, students will also critique each other's oral
presentation before the actual competition.

A femoral fracture is a break in the thigh bone, which is called the femur. It runs from the hip to the knee. It is the longest and strongest bone in the body. It usually requires a great deal of force to break the femur.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A femoral fracture is usually caused by direct trauma to your femur. Trauma includes:
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a femoral fracture. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
Symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury happened. The injured area will also be examined. You may have x-rays to look for a break in the bone.
Treatment will depend on the location and severity of your injury. Treatment involves:
Devices that may be used to hold the bone in place while it heals include:
Your doctor will order additional x-rays while the bone heals. This is to ensure that the bones have not shifted position.
Once home, follow your doctor's discharge instructions.
When your doctor decides you are ready, you will start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. You may be referred to a physical therapist to assist you. Do not return to sports until your leg is fully healed and your thigh muscle strength is back to normal.
A fractured femur is a serious injury that takes 3-6 months to heal.

Most of us are familiar with 'Internet memes.' Essentially, these are images, videos, etc., that rapidly spread from person to person via the Internet. The most common type of meme is an image with a quote plastered on top of it.

The decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court to grant convicted quadruple murderer Willie Jerome Manning a stay of execution on Tuesday is one likely decided on the side of both political and legal caution in light of recent developments.
I am now officially in the old codger season of my life. Fortunately, there are a lot of other old codgers that serve as a support group for this season of life.

In Sid Salters column in the April 8 Hattiesburg American (Gun violence is more complex than Carreys lowbrow video) he cited a recent study published by the Center for American Progress, the progressive think tank, that showed Mississippi ranked No. 5 in the nation in prevalence of gun violence.

Everyone has to have a hobby. That doesn't mean my hobbies have to be yours.
Just 15 months after they affiliated with his highly successful development team, Joe Max Higgins landed major Japanese tire manufacturer, Yokohama, and hundreds of high paying jobs for unemployment-ravaged West Point and Clay County.
Id feared that, after George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and, even worse, Barack Obama, the Fourth Amendments protection of our personal privacy had nearly vanished. But on April 17, a majority of the Supreme Court, ruling in Missouri v. McNeely, remembered a fundamental liberty we lost during the British occupation that helped ignite the American Revolution. It should also be noted that the ruling was largely ignored by the pell-mell media in all of its forms.

It's all about the Canucks fans this season.
PepsiCo Beverages Canada and Canucks have partnered up and chosen "super fans" to represent their upcoming Live for Now campaign.
Vancouverites Mohan Singh Vinning, also known as PunJohnny Canuck (the East Indian Johnny Canuck), Amie Nguyen, once dubbed "Queen Canuck," and the well-known Green Men, Force and Sully, have been chosen as the super fans and will be seen in their very own billboards across the city this April.
They got together Friday at The Warehouse Studio in downtown Vancouver for some A-list treatment — decked out in fan gear to have their photos taken for the upcoming campaign.
"I had a blast," said Vinning, adding it was the first time he's ever received such star treatment.
Vinning describes himself as a "die-hard" Canucks fan — his bedroom walls covered in newspaper clippings and posters.
"My whole wall — you cannot see any paint within my room," he said.
It was only last season he decided to take his fandom to the next level after seeing an East Indian man decked out in B.C. Lions gear.
"Orange turban, orange beard — everything," said Vinning. "Just a total fanatic."
"Why not make a PunJohnny Canuck and have an East Indian type character?"
So Vinning decked himself out in his PunJohnny Canuck gear and hit the Stanley Cup playoffs in Vancouver last year.
"I was actually by myself that day — I just wanted to go celebrate downtown (and) just the response I got from it," he said. "Might as well just run with it."
Vinning plans to get a YouTube channel up and running and put out biweekly videos recapping the games.
"It's not just our generation that's all crazy about the Canucks — older generations and everything, too," he said.
"You see grandmas who come to Canucks games."
So he wanted to do something by "making a staple character for more of the East Indian community or any other ethnic group as well," he said. "Something they can relate to."
As for Amie Nguyen, she was just "born into the world of hockey and Canucks."
"I just remember sitting in front of a TV with all my cousins, all my aunts, all my uncles, my parents just watching hockey and ever since then it's just kind of built up," Nguyen said, decked out in a Canucks tuque, T-shirt and even Canucks-themed fingernails.
"I just represent all the time. I'm all about city patriotism and stuff so Canucks just naturally takes precedence over everything else."
As for the Green Men's Force and Sully, they saw themselves as a "natural fit" for the campaign.
"We represent this team as much as we can on the road," Force said from behind his green spandex.
"Not many people would go to Boston up against the Bruins fans in full body spandex."
"This is awesome — we're obviously super fans because we're two idiots in green suits," added Sully. "No one ruins their dignity and integrity like we do on a daily basis."
While PepsiCo Beverages Canada's global Live for Now campaign often features superstars like Beyonce, the company decided on a more local focus for the West Coast.
"In Vancouver, we chose to bring it to life through the eyes of passionate Canucks fans who are quintessential representatives of the city, its spirit and culture and who truly embody the Pepsi Live for Now' spirit," said director of marketing Robb Hadley. "Pepsi wanted to uniquely celebrate the Canucks through their most visible and celebrated fans."
And for Canucks COO, Victor de Bonis, that's "the best part."
"Pepsi is recognizing that the Canucks fans are representing the city and the culture and our spirit, and they're doing something within our local market with a connection to the Canucks," he said.
"The campaign is about showing a real fan, and how they uniquely celebrate our team. And the tag line 'our team our way' is really a fan tag line — it's not necessarily a team tag line."

Yay! I finished adding a yellow border around all the squares that were given to me for my charity blankets.
Next, I connected them into strips, then seamed them together. Now, the blanket is almost complete. I just want to add one (or two) more border(s) around the entire blanket.
