The crux of the issue is this: I received a letter from the IRS while my offer in compromise was ongoing asking for additional information and an additional $2,400. The IRS said if they did not receive the money, then my OIC would be rejected. Since I didn't have the money to pay, I contacted Power Tax for advice; after all, I did hire them to help me with the OIC. I was given about a two-week window to respond to the IRS, and I was never able to get a hold of anyone at Power Tax; and believe me, I tried many times, but no one would return my phone call. Since I was not able to get any advice from the company I hired to help me, my OIC was rejected. And this wasn't the first time that I didn't receive return phone calls from this company.
About a month after the OIC was rejected, Kay Tse, manager extraordinaire at Power Tax, called me and yelled at me about not getting certain information to the IRS in a timely fashion. I explained to her that I had needed her assistance, and she never returned my phone call. That entire issue has never been resolved. I can prove through my phone records that she DID NOT RETURN MY CALLS. The company even said they were going to order the phone records to research my claim, and Gohar even said that she would provide me with those records. They never did produce those records nor did they ask me to provide my records.
The reason that the records were so important was that Kay Tse said, and I quote, "I will put my money where my mouth is. If you can prove that I did not return your phone calls, I will pay for your OIC." Like an idiot, once Gohar said she would research my claim and get to the bottom of the phone-call issue, I believed them. Almost two weeks later, I received a letter from the IRS stating that Power Tax had withdrawn their power of attorney. When I called Power Tax, I was told that my file had been closed out. So Gohar never got back to me regarding the phone records. Nobody called me to tell me that the file was closed out. I just received a letter from the IRS.
Once I was able to speak with Gohar and Kay regarding the withdrawal of the power of attorney, I got a bunch of run-around from both of them. Kay in particular was extremely rude and condescending. She yelled at me and blamed me for her not returning my call, and she would not let me speak. She also said that they were sending me $750, the amount of the proposed OIC. They never came right out and said that they were wrong or that they dropped the ball by not returning my phone calls. They never provided me with the promised phone records nor asked for mine.
I filed a complaint with the BBB, and in the time that I started my complaint process to now, approximately a month, the company's rating has dropped from a D to an F. In their response to my claims, they listed a whole bunch of lies. "The company contends that they did not offer to pay for her OIC." That is a direct quote from their response. Kay knows what she said, and by paying the $750, they are sort of admitting that my claims are correct. In their final response, the company states that I have a personal vendetta against Kay. Power Tax's response to my complaint was full of LIES.
After reading other complaints about this company, I see that I am not the only person that has had a problem with Power Tax and Kay Tse in particular, nor am I the only person that claims to have not received return phone calls. The quality of service -- or should I say lack thereof -- of this company speaks volumes.
I still do not believe that Power Tax is a real, legitimate company. They prey on people who are in desperate situations and who don't have much money, and then they take whatever they can. This company is a SCAM. This company's rating is an F. Save yourself, hire a real attorney or a real accountant. They will charge you far less and provide you with far more service. STAY AWAY FROM POWER TAX!!

I think a bunch of us need to get on board and create a 15 second commercial and have it aired on the backside of theirs, that's the only way they will be put out of business, they keep scamming people and the Attorney general allows it. There needs to be federal fraud charges filed against them.
I'll have some time in about a month to spearhead this campaign. I do have a web site out there and I see it's #5 at Google doing a search Power Tax Relief complaints, haven't had time to make it look good, but it's a start anyway.
We'll see what happens!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Peter spoke about > hundreds or even thousands of possible flying events, so this is > relevant and will produce busy looping to find a free one. ...you should also consider that we use just one semaphore per dm tree, so the number of events that we are awaiting is not always equal to the number of semaphores set. It's less in some situations (e.g. mirrors, snapshots...). But ok, I'm taking into consideration your concerns... Maybe we can think of trying to reuse one semaphore per lvm command in places where we loop over all LVs in one VG (e.g. "vgchange -ay <vgname>" and like). But is this really needed? Even if we activate a lot of devices at once (or remove), like in activating/deactivating a VG with many LVs, we set one semaphore, wait for the notification (for that one LV) and if the notification comes, we remove the semaphore and then repeat this sequence for all the other LVs... > SysV semaphore operations are not interruptible. So if something goes > wrong, and according to Murphy it will, the user is left with a process > that can only be killed by SIGKILL and is then not able to clean up > after itself. I'm not sure why, but this was one of the first things > that happened to me during testing. ...not quite. We've addedd "dmsetup udevcomplete_all" for such disastrous scenario -- this one will remove all existing semaphores with that DM_COOKIE_MAGIC prefix. The code that waits then catches semaphore removal event and will continue and finish the operation. But we tried to minimise the possibility of such hangs. If the old kernel is used, then the udev_sync code is switched off completely! Also, if udev is not running, it is switched off as well. If the hang occurs and you have the kernel running OK (so DM_COOKIE is delivered right to userspace) and udevd itself is OK, then the only thing that could be the cause of the problem are udev rules which could pose delays... I've spent considerable time searching for possible uses in all possible udev rules (at least the ones we have in Fedora distro). When I tested the code myself for the first time, the first thing I got was a 3 second delay when working with devices. Finally we found out it was a misbehaving foreign rule... which called a sleep within a udev rule :) Since one of the last udev rules called is the dm notification rule, you could end up with delays if someone somewhere deep in the rules does something nasty. And it happens -- at least you can see why am I so suspicious and paranoic when dealing with udev rule design (so it also explains why am I not afraid to use OPTIONS+="last_rule" for temporary cryptsetup devices as an example). > SysV semaphores are a restricted ressource because they are not cleaned > up upon process exit. So random devmapper usage can just fail with a > message about a, from the user view, completely unrelated ressource. ..but POSIX semaphores don't have waiting for zero, at least not so direct as with SysV ones. And this is what we really need. Also, I really want to avoid using any complex synchronisation mechanisms which could give a reason for very painful bugs that are hard to track and debug. The solution we have is simple enough. Yes, there's a possibility that the notification will get lost but if it does, then something is really wrong and needs a real inspection! But, really, if you have any ideas how to enhance this in a way that it remains simple enough (minimising the possibility of future bugs and any pain in maintaining it) and giving it even more reliability, then I'm really open to it... Anyway, thanks for looking into this! Any ideas are welcome! Peter

I've been a WordPress user for a good few years now so I've used a good few plugins so of course, I've had a good number of issues arise. But to have a plugin developer so committed to his project and to have someone who is pretty much constantly on standby to assist, it's an example for many to follow.
Great plugin, great support and well worth forking out a few dollars to go Pro. (And I don't like forking out for anything.)

There was no partisan intransigence as much as there was an understood "no matter what is proposed it will not have the force of law upon any future Congress because no penalties for failure to comply were written into the super-committee agreement, including the automatic cuts if no agreement was reached.
Since the "Buck Stops" at the president's desk and he was AWOL for the entire super-committee discussion it is fair to say he didn't care what the outcome was. Had he cared he would have shown some leadership on the issue.
Unfortunately, due to this lack of leasership our taxes are going to rise regardless of the outcome of the coming election.

25 Douchey Things You Don't Know You're Doing
It's time to find out if you're secretly lame
I never knew jean shorts were considered uncool until I got to college, where my frat brothers ribbed me for still rocking them a decade past their expiration date. It was embarrassing, but enlightening: For years, I had happily worked jorts into my regular wardrobe without hesitation. What other social faux-pas had I blindly been committing the whole time?

The course discusses how to plan for a portrait photo shoot and how to make stylistic decisions regarding props, clothing, and makeup. Next, the course reviews the essentials of posing women and men, starting with a single subject, moving on to a couple, and then working up to large groups. The course also demonstrates how to pose and compose a group portrait in ways that highlight the relationships between group members, whether they're family members or business colleagues. Lastly, to illustrate the time constraints photographers often face, Natalie works against the clock to shoot a group of people she's never met.
The course also covers various postprocessing techniques geared specifically for portraiture, such as working with wrinkles and skin textures.
Skill Level Intermediate
As every photographer knows the more people you have in a group shot the more opportunity for you to capture a blink or funny expression or distracted little girl. I'm going to show you how to take care of that in Photoshop by doing body swaps. First thing I'm going to do is to float my photographs. I want to see both of them at the same time. Now in this photograph I've already done a little bit of work. I really liked the expression on the mom's face and the baby's face too.
So you can see that I retouched a little bit, and also adjusted some levels. You want to retouching before you start doing your swapping. I'm going to select the Elliptical Marquee tool, and bring it over here to select mom and baby. Now I want this tool to be kind of big because I need extra room to maneuver when I get it into other photograph. I'll do a Command+C to copy it, and then come to this photograph where the little girl looks fantastic.
So I'm going to drop in the mom and the baby into this photograph. Let's take a look at that in the Layers. So you see it came in as a new layer. Rename that mom, just so I can kind of remember which one it is. Now I'm going to put a mask around this. Masks are great tools when you're doing composites in Photoshop. They allow you a lot of flexibility and the ability to correct mistakes that you might make. So I'll move this in the position.
Now as you can see it's kind of hard to see where she really should be. So I'm going to the layer with the mom on it, and I'll lower the opacity a little bit, just so that I can kind of see through it and arrange it so her eyes line up, and it's about there. Moved a little up so I'm taking the arrow key and going down and just pushing it there. I'll bring the opacity back up now that I've put it in position, and there it is. Now the nice thing about swapping the first photograph into this photograph is that I had the camera on a tripod and I was shooting in Burst Mode.
What that means is, that basically I was capturing photographs one right after each other, and they were from the same distance. So I don't have to worry about resizing the mom, making her bigger or smaller to fit this other photograph. It worked out very well. Now that I have her there I want to work a little bit on the mask, and masks basically allow you to see the layer beneath them. I'll go over here; I've got the foreground color as black, and go up and select the Brush tool.
I'll make sure that the Mode is Normal and the Opacity is 100%, and look how by brushing here, I am creating the mask that will allow the background to show through. Watch how his face appears. Here we go! And now her little girl is appearing too. Now I selected these photographs, because I knew I could place the mom and baby in this photograph without too much effort, but you definitely can see that there will need to be a little bit of finessing done down here where the baby has moved.
So let's just see what we get here, and there it is. So even though this isn't the baby's real foot from the photograph that I'm laying in here, it does look very natural. I can see here that it needs to be a little bit of work and this maybe a little tricky also. I'm going to make my brush a little smaller and the photograph a little bit bigger so I can really look at the detail of what I'm doing. Brush a little smaller.
Now it takes a little time to finesse this, and there are a number of different ways that you can do this with selections and masking. So after I finish here, I will do a little bit more finessing to make sure that everything looks just great. Let me show you a nice way to check your mask to see what exactly is being seen in the photograph. You will hit the Command and then click on the mask, and where the dancing ants are is where your mask is.
So I can see that I need to clean up a little bit here. Down below, let's take a closer look at that. So there is something amiss here. I'm just going to go ahead and get rid of it by painting the black on the mask. So let's take a look. This is what we started with and this is where we ended. So if you're shooting in Burst Mode and if you are on a tripod, you often will be able to take one body from one photograph and put it in another one so that the photographs can be saved.

Skip to comments.For Those About to Seek Sovereignty, We Salute You
Posted on 02/11/2009 4:23:28 PM PST by ADReditor
Two days ago Sheridan Folger, one of our Senior Writers and the Co-Founder of Lets Get Theis Right.com and Conservative Solutions.org, wrote a very thought provoking article concerning the desire of many New Hampshire citizens to declare their sovereignty from the leftist Obama influenced law makers of Washington DC and their attempts to put a stranglehold on their state should they decide to further infringe on their states rights.
Much like my state of Texas, the voters of New Hampshire have always considered themselves keepers of the flame when it comes to preserving and reserving the right of the state to withdraw their support for an over-reaching federal government by force should it be necessary.
(Excerpt) Read more at americandailyreview.com ...
The states have sold themselves into slavery by taking money from the feds that they should have doled out to the feds far more carefully to begin with.
If you believe a state can withdraw from the Union you are barking up the wrong tree.
Federal funding does not come from "the states" it comes from American citizens.
States do not fund the feds. We tried that and it didn't work too well. When states "doled out money to the feds" the central government couldn't pay its bill and we got the Constitution.
Until the American people wake up we are screwed.
Um we tried this a few years back, and didn't work out so well in the end....
"With respect to the two words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
"If the words obtained so readily a place in the "Articles of Confederation," and received so little notice in their admission into the present Constitution, and retained for so long a time a silent place in both, the fairest explanation is, that the words, in the alternative of meaning nothing or meaning everything, had the former meaning taken for granted."
"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."
—Thomas Jefferson
BTW, thanks for the heads up AAC. And fellow keepers of the flame, please ping me to 10th Amendment articles as you come across them so we can slice and dice as necessary. Thanks.
I'm not sure how I got on this Ping List, but PLEASE keep me on it! Thanks! :)
De nada. Just doing my part as a member o' the ping list.
2:§§ 1073--91
The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments.
States rights began to die after the Civil War. They were dealt another crippling blow with the passage of the 17th Amendment.
***The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.***
The most ignored Amendment.
One of the FEW phrase in the whole of the Constitution the libtards have any use for. Of course they must go through all manner of mental gyrations to arrive at their conclusion: That taking the well earned resources of some and giving it to others does NO harm the ones they confiscated it from. Rational? Heh. I can't even begin to tell you how many libtards I've tried to carry on a rational conversation with, that ends up with them foaming at the mouth and waving their arms as if it contributes in any way to the conversation. Dolts, they are. Dragging us along into the abyss -- unless we stop them.
First, allow me to apologize for not posting the disclaimer I normally do on my ping; that is, I spent MANY hours poring over older threads re states rights, 10th Amendment, sovereignty, etc, and pulled names off contributors to those threads. And anybody that wants off, just say so. Glad you're here.
The Founders never intended for the General Welfare or Necessary and Proper Clause to be grants of power, rather a purpose for the listed powers in Article 1 Section 8 in the case of the former clause and an explicit statement of what was implied by granting those powers in the case of the latter clause.
The Necessary and Proper Clause really gets to me because people have taken it to mean it gives Congress "wiggle room", when in reality it's a completely redunant statement basically saying Congress has powers and the way it executes them is through laws. Here it is:
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the FOREGOING [my emphasis] Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 33 on January 3, 1788, If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.
It was universally understood by the Framers——and the State governments that ratified the Constitution——that the States were the supreme governments and that the federal government was the subserviant, limited agent of the States, authorized to carry out only the specific and enumerated powers delegated in the Constitution. If the President wanted to Proclaim something (especially something not specifically authorized in the Constitution), he had to ask the Governors or legislatures of the States for their approval and assistance.
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce. ... The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State." —James Madison, author of the Constitution, in Federalist Paper No. 45.
"It is not by the consolidation, or concentration, of powers, but by their distribution that good government is effected." —Thomas Jefferson
..But ambitious encroachments of the federal government, on the authority of the State governments, would not excite the opposition of a single State, or of a few States only. They would be signals of general alarm. Every government would espouse the common cause. A correspondence would be opened. Plans of resistance would be concerted. One spirit would animate and conduct the whole. The same combinations, in short, would result from an apprehension of the federal, as was produced by the dread of a foreign, yoke; and unless the projected innovations should be voluntarily renounced, the same appeal to a trial of force would be made in the one case as was made in the other. But what degree of madness could ever drive the federal government to such an extremity?" —James Madison, from Federalist Paper No. 46
I, George Washington, do further declare, that because the people of Massachusetts have perpetrated this brazen treason, all their rights are forthwith revoked. Of course, if any Massachusetts resident disavows his states dastardly decision, and swears an oath of loyalty to the federal government, his rights shall be restored. Such cases excepted, federal soldiers should feel free to loot any Massachusetts home. Crops not seized for army provisions should be destroyed without regards to the needs of the rebels and their families. After all, war is hell.
"Glad you're here."
Me, too! It was a nice PING after a long day of work, all the while thinking of the CONFISCATORY Federal & State Taxes taken out of my hide while I was gainfully employed!
Now I'm revved up to 'Fight the Good Fight.' :)

And would we be FReepers of the Flame"?
Gotta run gather up a sick grandbaby so I'll check back in approaching the wee hours.
"If you believe a state can withdraw from the Union you are barking up the wrong tree.
Federal funding does not come from the states it comes from American citizens"
Let us consider the argument relied on to support this view.
Great reliance is placed upon the words of the preamble: "We, the people of the United States,"
Let's see if that holds water?
Declarations of Mr. Madison, in the Federalist, No. 39. Speaking of the ratifications by the States, he says: "This assent and ratification is to be given by the people, not as individuals composing an entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong. * * * Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act."
Events then were what Washington warned about in his Farewell Address. Most people incorrectly believe it was a warning about foreign involvements when, in fact, it warned of secession and civil war.
Please add me to your pinglist
Your quotations do not address the point of my post.
States were not sovereign even theoretically after the Constitution was ratified. Then never were in reality though perhaps in theory under the Articles. Nor could they get out of the Union after ratification as Madison made clear to Hamilton in letters written during the NY ratification debates. The Constitutional Convention explicitly rejected the argument that the document allowed only specific powers to be exercised by the feds as well. Hamilton defined constitutionality in his argument on the constitutionality of the National Bank.
State "governments" NEVER ratified the Constitution as you claim. State governments were deliberately by-passed for conventions called of the People IN states. Congress understood that the State governments were dominated by petty politicians concerned only about themselves and opposed to a government strong enough to bring our nation together and make it strong. It also understood that any state legislative act could be unilaterally undone which made a perpetual Union impossible.
In addition your comment about what the Framers believed is complete fantasy certainly nothing either Madison (who was ready to get rid of the states entirely early in the convention) or Hamilton (who despised the corrupt state governments) believed.
The quote from Madison actually shows why the federal government has grown at the expense of the state. The requirements of war and foreign relations has grown far more important than it had when we were a out-of-the-way backwater on the world stage. Now we occupy the center.
Jefferson is the last person one should quote when concerned about the Constitution and what it means. He didn't even believe the Louisiana Purchase constitutional nor the Bank which made it possible.
Madison's belief that the states would resist a federal government stepping out of bounds can be said to show that states do NOT believe it has happened or that they don't care.
Sherman myth goes marching on. People hundreds of miles away from the March claim his soldiers burned out "Ole Grandpappy and raped the Missus." When idiots are followed into political suicide things are tough for lots of innocent people along with plenty of the guilty. Those who perpetrated the RAT Rebellion were traitors.
It was Madison who believed once a state was in the Union it was always in the Union or so he told Hamilton in rejecting acceptance of a conditional ratification. Hamilton was about to throw in the towel and accept that from the NY state ratification convention. Madison said "No!"
BTW that "sovereignty" Madison mentions was ONLY in relation to the ratification. It could not be coerced by another state. And there was no other mechanism available for the expression of the political will EXCEPT through state mechanisms.
But Congress was clear that it wanted the decision taken OUT of the hands of the states. It specified special conventions out of the control of state governments.
I'm thinking I could hold off my share of federal troops....the ones that you could actually get to fire on US citizens....I should be good to hold down one to two rifle companies, from my mountainous area in NH. The taliban got nothing on a pissed off american when it comes to insurgency.
Ohhhhh, I like that!
Done. Good to have another aboard.
lol - that was easy
I hope my pings are helping you out some.
If you wouldn't mind playing devil's advocate for a bit, what remedies do you see available to the states or to the people? Let's assume "the people", after decades of misinformation and basic laziness haven't a clue their government is using our Constitution for toilet paper. Assume also the states have been intimidated and bludgeoned into submission by the fedguv so they no longer feel adequate to the challenge of holding that fedguv to its Constitutional restraints. What next?
BTW, Washington offered several warnings in his farewell address. One of which was to guard against those that would usurp power by bypassing the restraints of the Constitution. As far as I could tell, he didn't propose any remedy for such a thing. What might he have done?
You claim:
"State governments NEVER ratified the Constitution as you claim. State governments were deliberately by-passed for conventions called of the People IN states."
Yet the Constitution itself says in Article VII:
"The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same."
The ratifying documents of the various states can be seen here: www.usconstitution.net/otherdocs.html#rats
You also seem to suffer from some strange notion that Congress had something to do with the constitutional convention. In fact, as far as the Congress of the old confederation knew, the convention was negotiating an amendment to the then current Articles of Confederation, the actual nature of the convention being a tightly held secret.
On the up-side, your handle is accurate.
Add me.
We can only link the source.
Done J J. How you been?
Great article! I'll see if I can figure out a way to get it posted or otherwise get more exposure. NOTHING under Goober news or Yeehaaaw news. Surprised?

Thanks for the ping, and thanks to all for some very enlightening comments/ opinions/ quotes.
One quick (and trivial) note:
Typo in the first line (Let's Get Theis Right).
I have never understood........why states would be happy about sending a dollar and receiving back only 77%.
Baffling, you make our laws or you won't get any money back......then keep the money!
All good here.
If you're serious about participating in discussions concerning efforts to reclaim our sovereignty, personal attacks based on geography, or any other unrelated issue will only serve to distract from or even hijack those discussion. Is that what you really want???
You probably realize not all, or even most, "Yankees" are marxist driven idealogues but would not admit it because of some deeper resentments from long ago. Similar to muzzies. Irrational behavior that will serve no good purpose, IMHO. So please, can we discuss idealogy and not geography?
Yeah, geopgraphy has NOTHING to do with it, considering NE is ALL BLUE right! I guess you're a socialist Yankee too. Truth hurts.
As a point of fact, the term "union" is the only term used in the text of the Constitution to refer to the United States, while the word "nation" never appears a single time.
Thus, the force and effectiveness of this sovereignty which was thus "retained" from the Declaration of Independence, was equivalent to that of any other nation; this was made clear in the Declaration, via the statement:
"That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do"
Note that the term "state" used here in the Declaration, is clearly used synonymously with the term "nation" for the purposes of this document; as such, the United States had no more claim in binding South Carolina or Virginia, than it had in binding England or France, and the term "United States" literally meant "United Nations."
You then, must believe that the states somehow "surrendered" their status as sovereign nations, in the act of ratifying the Constitution
However this is negated by the 10th Amendment specification that powers were merely delegated,
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people"
In this context, therefore, powers were delegated to the federal government via the Constitution by the states ratifying it, not out in the interest of any sort of collectivism, but merely for the purposes of practical harmony in co-existence with both union and non-union nations solely for advancing the individual benefit of the respective delegating state.
Meanwhile, the 9th amendment likewise states that:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Since the term "others" as used here, clearly refers to rights not enumerated in the text of the Constitution, then it thus implicitly preserves those rights enumerated via prior documents such as the Articles of Confederation, which specifically retains the "sovereignty, freedom and independence" of every state which the Constitution does not exclude anywhere (but rather preserves, since states would have to retain their sovereign powers in order to delegate them.
Articles of Confederation, which under Article II states that:
"Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled."
To claim otherwise, i.e., that every state committed itself to the supreme and final binding arbitration (and mercy) of the Federal government in settling disputes under force of law wielded by such would not only be nonsensical for the purposes of protecting the states from possible abuses by this same Federal government, but moreover is nowhere expressed or even implied in the Constitution or any other document.
I cannot imagine why anyone would imagine that separate nations, would knowingly and willingly surrender their individual sovereignty particularly, as in the case of the United States, after their having just won it via bloodshed from centralized and consolidated tyranny firsthand.

The place is pretty nice since it is right in the beautiful centre of Bari. It is a flat with five beds, which was perfect for us since we were five people. It's maybe not a place were you want to hang out for a long time, but it is perfect, if you want to strawl around the historic centre of the city and get lost in its narrow streets. It was very clean but all in all, the appartement seemed to be still under construction.

I have been internet less for almost a week now. Part of that was because the hotels we stayed in did not offer internet. The other half came from the fact that our map said there was a road when there was not, and we took a locals advice and became somewhat lost in the Cambodian jungle. But more on that to come over on Unleash (as soon as the pictures finally load up on Flickr that is).
But imagine my delight when I finally log in and check how the Iceland book is doing, and find out that it is number 3 in Kindle books on Iceland.
No reviews yet. Holding my breath and hoping that when they do come in they are good!
2 Comments on Number 3 On Kindle Books About Iceland
Hi Sherrie. Just downloaded and read your book as we are planning a bike trip to Iceland in the Summer of 2012. I found it really useful with lots of practical information that will help us prep for the visit. Didn't like the sound of the gale force winds though!
I have a couple of questions. We are going to be riding two up on my F650GS twin (08). I have just about managed to coax my girlfiend onto the back of the bike and we have to buy some her some riding gear. I wondered whether you were wearing full on enduro boots or normal touring boots with knee protectors. I have been studying your legs closely! I have enduro boots myself but I know they can be a little uncomfortable when walking longer distances.
I also wondered what tyres you ran on. I did a Turkey trip from England with TKC80 knobbly tyres, but to be honest I never really needed them and they made the bike unstable at higher speeds. The Tourances I have on now are much better on the road and particularly in the wet. Would these be ok for Iceland, or do I need to go down the knobbly route? On the plus side the tyres are tubeless so we if we do have a blow out, it shouldn't be as dramatic or painful as yours.
Any tips would be really appreciated. Happy New Year and happy travels in 2012!
Have you thought of coming to the Horizons Unlimited event in the UK this year? You could do a talk on your adventures.
I just found this! My blog was over run with spam and I kind of ignored it for awhile! Sorry.
We both wore Daytona, I had Lady Star and I can not remember what kind of Daytona Patrick wore, but we went with a cross for comfort. Being able to walk while still trusting your boot is essential!
I can not remember what tires now, I will dig into my notes and find them. I do know we wished we had tubeless after the blowout however!
Really sorry this is so late.

Sue Weddle alleges the Sunset Beach Town Council shirked its responsibilities in approving the rewrite of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in 2012, and accuses members of council of not working hard enough for the citizens of Sunset Beach. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Regarding the Beacon's March 23 editorial: State Sen. Bill Rabon and Rep. Frank Iler, let's call a spade a spade. The beautiful beaches of North Carolina will always be there if we shift with shifting sands.
I'm baffled as to why Sunset Beach Town Council failed to act on Realtor David Stuart's request asking the council to determine what regulations had been omitted, what regulations had been added and what regulations had been changed before passing the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) at a December 2012 council meeting.
We would like to honor our doctors on Doctors' Day. March 30 marks a day to celebrate the amazing work all of our doctors do for our hospital and community. This day is to celebrate the contributions they make every day by caring for our patients and their families.
I moved to the area just over two years ago. For some time, I have been a cycling safety advocate, and cyclist, in central Florida. Since arriving back in North Carolina, I have not become involved other than in my long time volunteer work for the National MS Society and the Bike MS events.
Laura Lewis' regional bicycle plan report in the March 24 edition was very good, but there was another side to the story that wasn't broached.
Thank you to Gov. Pat McCrory, after countless hours, who won bipartisan support in the General Assembly for the Connect North Carolina bond referendum.
The Connect North Carolina bond overwhelmingly passed with the voters of this great state.
The passing of the bond is proven recognition by the voters of North Carolina this is an investment in our citizens' future and of the future of our children.
Let us all be grateful to the superior job put forth by the governor and the support of the General Assembly.
From recent letters submitted for publication in the Beacon, I agree with most of the reasons why some North Carolina drivers don't use turn signals. However, writers overlooked the fact that just because a car has an N.C. tag doesn't necessarily mean the driver is "from" here.
After reading last week's Beacon report regarding critical missing ordinances from the Sunset Beach Unified Development Ordinance, I researched the minutes of the council meeting and public hearing on the UDO of Dec. 3, 2012.
o the editor:
I am writing to support Dan Dickerson's letter to the editor in the Feb. 18 edition. I drive N.C. 179 every day. It is difficult to pass a bicyclist or a moped rider.
Coming home one day around Christmastime, I had to stop and assist a gentleman sitting on the curb. A vehicle had come very close to him and caused him to lose his balance. Fortunately, he was not hurt but very badly shaken.
Let's make N.C. 179 safe for cyclists in our area.
