Map of the Babylonian Empire (550 B.C.)
Map of the Empire of Babylon in 550 B.C.This map reveals the extant of the Babylonian Empire at the time 30 years after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar. The Babylonians were great conquerors, as the Assyrians were, and eventually ruled the whole world.
The Babylonians were also great traders as revealed through archaeology, and thousands of cuneiform tablets have been found telling of their complex trade networks. They traded with Lebanon, Egypt and Greece. In order to protect their trade routes, they marched their armies west with the mighty king Nebuchadnezzar leading them. He captured major cities like the Phoenician city of Tyre and it was he who conquered Jerusalem. He also drove out the Egyptians from Syria and Phoenicia which enabled him to secure a rich trade gateway to the Mediterranean Sea. Babylon also collected a bitter tribute from the conquered cities and many rebellions were put down.
In 612 B.C. while the Assyrian stranglehold had been extinguished and Nebuchadnezzar has successfully contended with Egypt for the Assyrian Empire, the kingdom of Judah rebelled. In 597 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem and their Jewish nobles, armies and craftsmen into captivity in Babylon. When King Zedekiah of Judah aided a second Egyptian attack, his sons were killed in his sight and he was blinded and carried into exile with his people.
The empire of Babylon was at its greatest extent in 546 B.C. when Cyrus of Persia cunningly took Babylon by surprise.
The Bible Mentions a lot Concerning "Babylon"

To avoid this situation you need to leave a short or long line (as in the video above with the barking dog) on them so you can take control quickly and calmly when you need it. At the same time your dog still gets to run around.
You may have heard the suggestion that if you put a behavior such as barking on cue and have it under good stimulus control, the dog then won't bark unless you give him the cue to speak. Here are the four rules of stimulus control:
If barking is problem on your walks, using some of the same methods utilized in loose leash training may help. Hold treats in your hand, giving some out as you walk along. The idea is to encourage your dog to focus on you and not any distractions. Let him sniff and see the palmed treats from time to time so he knows what you have. Use a special treat that your dog doesn't normally get and keep the pieces small so your dog can chew and swallow them easily while walking. Train your dog to "sit/stay" while people pass, allowing him to say hello only if the other person wants to. Praise, reward, and consistency are very important to make this work, but after a few days or a week, you should see a marked difference and can start spacing the use of treats farther apart.
Dogs can bark if they're being territorial and sense that you're moving in on their turf. If you find that your neighbor's dog barks every time you go into your yard or get close to the neighbor's property, it's probably being territorial. A good solution for this kind of barking is to block the dog's view with a fence, some kind of screen, or some privacy bushes and trees. If the dog can't see you, it is less likely to think of you as a threat.
Call animal control to report abuse. If you believe the barking is a result of neglect or another form of abuse, you have the right to call animal control. If the dog is being severely abused it will be confiscated from the owner, but in most cases animal control won't take the dog away. Instead, they'll come to assess the situation and try to educate the owners as to how to properly care for the dog.
Try ignoring the barking and waiting till your dog stops. If simply waiting silently doesn't work, calmly ask them to "sit" or "lie down". Once they are calm and have stopped barking, praise them with lots of fuss or a treat.
Like many Collies, he loves to bark and has a lot to say. Think Sheltie, only bigger. Finn's bark has a genetic component. Collie's bark to herd sheep. In the photo below, Finn is just about to bark "let's play!"
A lot of dogs bark because there is little else to do. If your dog is a nuisance barker, look at their daily routine and how much free, unoccupied time that they have to fill with their own activities.
There are all sorts of devices that claim to stop barking. Most of them are some sort of collar that offer a negative response when a dog barks, such as an electric shock, a spray of citronella or a burst of static electricity. Talk with a trainer or behaviorist before considering one of these devices. If used incorrectly, they can cause more problems. For example, if your dog gets shocked every time he barks at a neighbor, he could associate the pain with the neighbor instead of the barking.
Busy toys: (helpful for attention seeking/demand barkers, boredom barkers and separation distress barkers) both boredom barkers and separation distress barkers benefit from having something to do when their people leave the house. Hard rubber toys that dispense treats are a great way to keep them occupied and happy when alone. They're also great for dogs that bark for attention. For example, if your dog barks at you every time you get on the phone, give him a busy toy to keep him occupied while you make calls.
Offer him a treat when he stops barking. This creates a connection between the action done and the treat. In time, he can learn the command Quiet and whenever he hears it, he will just stop barking because he knows that this is what you want the dog to do.
So what is the best method to stop dog barking?; Without doubt it is a bark collar. The reason being it works on a level that is the basis of all dog training: consistency and timing. The moment the dog barks the collar goes off…every time! No human intervention can match the preciseness of a bark collar. The dog quickly learns that barking results in the correction, so as a result stops barking when the collar is being worn.
In a dog's mind, even yelling at her to stop is considered attention. If you lose your patience and yell at your dog, she will probably bark for even longer next time, because she will have been conditioned to expect any kind of response (even a negative response).[5]
Dogs that are lonely and that cannot have fun can end up barking way too much because of boredom. We already established that. If you often find yourself away from home because of work or different commitments, you can consider getting another dog. Most pet owners stay away from getting the second one because they are emotionally attached to the one that they have now. While this is completely understandable, we have to think about his well-being and his desires.
Whines and whimpers are usually related to stress and/or excitment. Some breeds of dogs seem to whine more than others – German Shepherds, for example, seem especially prone to whining. Often this behavior persists because it's reinforced by the natural human tendency to comfort a whining puppy. Like demand barking, it's best to ignore whining and reinforce quiet. However, because it's often stress-induced, if your dog's a whiner, you might want to evaluate his environment to see if you can reduce the stressors in his world.
The chest harness was a life saver for me. My dog hates to have anything around her neck. I think it's baggage from life before she wound up on the streets and in the shelter. I'll never know what baggage she has left over from then, but I am pleased that we found a compromise that's as pleasant for her as it is for me.
I don't have a problem with leash aggression with my dogs, but two out of three of them bark PERSISTENTLY on the lead and during walks. They aren't barking at anyone or anything in particular – It's entirely excitement based… And it's so bad that I can't walk them anymore. I improvise their exercise by playing fetch games (making them run) and taking them down to our field to let them run riot there. I miss being able to walk them though. The pulling I don't mind really (I know it's not ideal tho) but the barking at everything out of being so excited…It's incredibly frustrating and embarrassing. 🙁
Looks like no one has posted for a couple of years, but I wanted to thank you for the article. I have a 45 pound hound/border collie, and she pulled on the leash and drug me around. I use a harness so she doesn't choke herself. I got a 16 foot retractable leash and used the reverse method, and say "this way." Wow, it worked! She's quite intelligent and eager to learn, as well. Within a half hour she caught on and I noticed her cueing in to me more for direction. Using a retractable leash is really good because it clicks loud enough for her to hear when I push the button, and she stops pulling and looks to me. I even got her walking beside me with no problem. We had the best walk ever and after a half hour we were walking with a loose leash. Most dogs really do want direction and to please their handler. So, thank you again! This was exactly what we needed!
Remember, barking is natural! It's an important means of communication for dogs. But sometimes problems can develop. As the pack leader, it's your job to step in and control excessive barking. Here are my 5 tips to help you stop nuisance barking for good.
So if it is agreed that the most common motivations for dog barking (Separation and Defensive/Territorial) can or do occur when you are not there, what methods will stop dog barking more effectively than others? Chastising and physical punishment are obviously impossible when you are not there.
I would NOT use one. We had a sport dog no bark collar and we recently found two large holes and missing hair on our dogs neck. She just had surgery and came out with five stitches and on a bunch of medications.
Discontinue reinforcement. Also called "attention-seeking barking," request barking is a common problem for dog owners. The first step to breaking a dog's request barking is to stop giving your dog what she wants whenever she barks. This will, of course, take some time to train out of your dog, especially if she has been "rewarded" for her barking over many years.[1]
Dogs tend to act up when they get bored. To eliminate barking from boredom or frustration, make sure your pup is getting sufficient physical and mental exercise every day. Click here to see 5 great ways you can stimulate your dog.
What you've just done is checked out the danger (even if it was just a bird in a tree) and calmly communicated to them using your body language, the tone of your voice and your energy that there's no need to worry. If they continue barking after you've done this then you can very calmly pop them into time out for a couple of minutes.
Keeping pet waste off the ground is an important responsibility held by all pet owners. If not addressed, the presence of unattended to waste can quickly become a major point of conflict amongst neighbors.

Barking is a completely natural behavior for dogs, but we humans don't always appreciate it. In your dog's mind, however, there's a good reason to bark, so the first thing to do is figure out why she wants to bark in what you consider the most inappropriate times.
Talk to your neighbors and explain to them about your condition and see if they can come up with a solution first. If this doesn't help, you may have to call law enforcement. If it is affecting your quality of life, this should be taken seriously.
Desensitize your dog to solitude. If your dog has moderate to severe separation anxiety, she most likely will not be cured overnight. A good way to get your dog more accustomed to solitude is to gradually desensitize her to being left alone and reinforce the fact that getting ready to leave does not mean abandonment. This is a slow process that will take several weeks of practice and consistency, but should prove effective for long-term results.[27]
Pheromone-based treatment: (helpful for fear barkers and separation distress barkers) plug-in diffusers that mimic the "calming chemicals" given off by female dogs can help to soothe dogs that bark due to stress. While you might not see a dramatic shift in behavior – keep in mind that pheromones are different from prescribed medications – the diffusers are an easy and affordable way to take the edge off a stressful situation.
We tried all available training, including a trainer to no avail, he was surprised that the dog barked so much. Our roommates dog barks all the time, except while sleeping. She only sleeps a few hours, max 4 hours at a time and is back at it again. She barks loudly at full volume while playing, running, walking on leash, while we prep food for ourselves or the other dogs, she barks at toys with toys in her mouth, she barks while digging in the back yard, barks at us on or off the furniture, sitting standing, literally everything. I had to start wearing ear plugs to sleep and during the day when I'm home. If someone comes in she follows them through the house barking full volume. Attention, lack of attention does not matter. She barks at birds, squirrels, leaves. She will sit in the back yard and wait for the roof vent (whirlybird) to spin in the wind and bark at it. We have tried ultrasonic, citrinela, and static collars. She barks through all of them. The static one keeps her volume down. It was hard when she was spayed because she was supposed to stay calm and quiet. She ended up pulling stitches from barking even while medicated. We have tried vitamins, herble remidies for anxiety, and settled on the static collar. It lowers the volume of her barking so we can at least sleep. Happy hyper dog.
Punishing your pet might temporarily suppress the behaviour but does nothing to change the motivation behind it. So your bored barker might stop woofing when told off, but they might find a different thing to occupy themselves with instead – very likely something you won't approve of, either!
It is understandable that a dog barking all the time can be annoying and even distressing, but if this happens when you are at home and you know that your dog is barking at something outside, try thanking it instead of what you may have one before. You are letting your dog know that you are aware of the situation and (most importantly) you are calm. This is vital in encouraging a dog to calm down. If you get animated and/or annoyed, the dog feels your adrenalin level rise too. The thing it is barking at must be a problem in that case.

Awnings provide shade and refuge from the sun and elements. Awnings come in permanent and retractable styles. A retractable awing, with a manual retractable arm, can be placed over your patio to allow you to have control over your sun exposure; while permanent awnings, fixed over the windows to your home, will keep the inside cool and shaded. Awnings are typically made of Polyethylene, a type of water-resistant material that is also fade-resistant and provides adequate UV protection. A retractable 10- by 12-foot awning costs approximately $700 online, however prices vary considerably between manufacturers, so shop around.

Aussie label Funkita has launched its latest swimwear collection with a stunning image series of its Rio bound athletes. We've got the images below and read on to see how you can win a Funkita swimsuit from the new Luma Nation collection.
As always, Funkita features its swimming stars in all its campaigns with Australian athletes Kotuku Ngawati, Taylor McKeown and Blair Evans and Team GB athletes Molly Renshaw and Aimee Willmott all looking amazing as they lit up pool decks across Australia and the UK.
The twenty-one year old Australian's Olympic dreams finally came true in dramatic fashion at the Australian Swimming Championships in April when she came second in the 200m Individual Medley, with a 2.11.03 personal best time and securing her spot on the plane to Rio. Having experienced her first major Australian team competing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Koti missed the 2015 World Championship team by just 0.8 of a second, which left her devastated but determined not to let the same heartbreak repeat itself in 2016.
Funkita athlete and Western Australian swimmer Blair Evans will race at her second Olympics in the 400m Individual Medley. Her time of 4:35.26 won gold medal at the Australian Olympic Trials and sealed an incredible comeback from serious shoulder and neck injuries that threatened to end her swimming career after the London Olympics.
After narrowly missing Olympic selection in 2012, Funkita athlete Taylor McKeown used the immense disappointment she felt as her unwavering motivation to train for another four years to secure a place on the Rio team.
With two magnificent swims at the Australian Olympic Trials (she swam 1:06.68 for the 100m breaststroke and 2:21.45 for the 200m) she achieved her goal, and lifted a huge weight off her shoulders. Despite her determination, the road to Rio wasn't straightforward for Taylor having to overcome a torn adductor muscle earlier this year. It forced her to focus on her rehabilitation and to maintain a positive outlook despite the pain she endured.
Two stars of Team GB are Funkita athletes Molly Renshaw and Aimee Willmott. Molly will be swimming at her first Olympics in the 200m breaststroke after an anxious wait for selection. She swam a 2:23.56 which she bettered a few weeks later at the European Championships with a 2:23.18.
Aimee admits that booking a spot at her second Olympics was even more emotional than her first. It's a big statement from a proud Brit who made her debut at the London Olympics in 2012. Now training at the venue where she made her Olympic dreams come true, Willmott says the pressure she felt in the build up to the 2016 Olympic trials made securing her position with a silver in the 400m individual medley was even more significant.
Now selling in more than 40 countries, the Funkita Luma Nation collection has been inspired by colours from around the world with top selling prints 'Mosaic Magic' reflecting the colourful streets of Barcelona and 'Fly Queen' capturing the spirit of Rio.

I don't know how many of you do this but I keep my iPhone on my nightstand charging away throughout the night and the first thing I do when I wake up is reach for my phone and begin checking my incoming emails, my Twitter account and Facebook! Forget getting a cup of coffee. Checking on the latest news through social media resources is my caffeine in the morning and I'm curious as to what has transpired in the wee hours of the morning while I slumber.
One Twitter item did catch my eye. It was a retweet from @eatlivtravwrite and referenced a post by @InSeansOpinion: How to Write Compelling Blog Posts. I quickly clicked on the link and was taken to Social Media Today's website. It was an interesting and informative article that covered strategies on keeping one's blog fresh and to keep the blog content interesting. I've been thinking about this very topic for some time now. Blogging is new to me and to keep up with it on a daily basis is difficult. As most of you know, I blog about my experiences with food, restaurants and generally, anything food-related. I got into blogging as a means to put down in writing what those experiences were and to create a lasting documentation of those experiences, whether they mean something to my readers or not. But now that I'm creating a small following, the need to create interesting, informative contents has now been pushed to the forefront of this blogging adventure and so now, I have to re-think my strategy.
When I log into WordPress and go into my Dashboard, I quickly scan my stats. At the beginning, this wasn't very important to me. If anything, my blog was mainly my online diary. I started this journey trepidatiously (is there such a word, and if so, did I spell it right?), only posting when the mood struck or if I had an experience that I couldn't wait to share. I started off with a bang, and then complacency set it. I'm great at rationalizing and convincing myself to put off certain tasks, especially when it involves a bit of effort. And with blogging, I convinced myself: (1) This is only for myself and no one is really reading it. (2) If I don't blog for a few days, it's okay. I can always catch up. (3) I've got so much going on that to sacrifice my blog is okay since compared to everything else going on in my life, blogging is low priority. The next thing I knew, I was absent from blogging completely. Oh, I'd post here and there, but not with regularity. I'd get inquiries from friends and family, asking me how my blog was going, and in veiled embarrassment, I would respond, 'It's going great! I've taken a small break but I've got stories brewing." Before I knew it, a few weeks would pass and progress on my blog was almost non-existent.
So what jump started me on blogging again? I'm not sure exactly and I can't pinpoint it on one specific event. All I know is that in the last few months, I've met some awesome bloggers, foodies, restaurant owners, and professionals in the wine and food industry that have re-invigorated my spirit in moving forward on this blogging quest. I can't promise that I will blog with regularity on a daily basis, but I can make a commitment to blog experiences that I find interesting enough to share along with photos that I've taken myself. I'm not a professional photographer so don't criticize my techniques nor am I a professional writer so don't judge my sentence structure or grammar. All I ask is if you enjoy a post, leave me a comment on my blog (rather than sending me an email or posting a comment on Facebook) and share it with others by forwarding the link on to others who might find value in it. I will try my best to respond to your comments within a reasonable timeframe.
So here I am on a beautiful sunny Sunday in Los Angeles, sitting at my dining table with an almost empty cup of Harrods of London's English Breakfast Tea and listening to my Japanese and Korean pop music while strategizing how best to manage my blog. Thanks Social Media Today for the helpful advice. And thanks readers for listening (or reading LOL!). Enjoy your day!

"Five bucks at peak season"
Reviewed Aug 09, 2017
My son & I took a little weekend trip to get away from the triple-digit heat of the valley and were not disappointed.
We were not originally planning to stay here, but because our trip was last minute and we didn't feel like taking our chances not sure if something would be available without reservations, we thought we would take a chance.
The back-in sites were just the right size for our 26' motorhome, complete with solid picnic table and fire ring as well as flattened area for a tent if we had wanted. There is ample room between spaces so that, even if we had neighbors, we wouldn't be too close. I was surprised that there were only 2 other campers who showed that night, but I don't know that it is all that well known.
The accessible nature trail between the two campgrounds (Wetmore & Yellow Pine) was wide & well kept. The campground didn't seem to have had much attention lately, either by campers or by staff, but it was nonetheless in good order. The vault toilet was clean and not graffiti-ridden.

"Free camping, out of season. "
Reviewed Oct 07, 2015
Wetmore is one of three in a row on the north side of Highway 26, 12 miles west of Unity. We stayed one night on October 5. Just us and the stars. A little road noise from the few trucks that travel this light stretch at the edge of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
Vault toilet hadn't been serviced since the CG closed on September 15, but it was still nice smelling and clean. Sites a little less than level but wider than normal and sited well.
Free is a great off-season price, and we felt more comfortable here since it was deer hunting season than if we had tried to boondocks further into the woods.

Seven Transformation Pack
Generic Company Place Holder Seven Transformation Pack
It's fairly easy to make Windows Vista look like Windows 7. However, Windows XP users have fewer options at their disposal. But now they have the Seven Transformation Pack, a collection of UI tweaks--menus, icons, fonts, buttons, etc.--designed to make XP look and feel just like Windows 7. And guess what: It works as advertised. The before-and-after difference is pretty amazing, right down to the search-enhanced Start menu and Windows 7-style floating gadgets.
Before downloading this fab freebie, make sure your system has XP Service Pack 3 installed. I'd also advise creating a restore point in XP's System Restore tool before running the installer, as the Seven Transformation Pack makes some pretty high-level changes to your system. When it's done, reboot, then be prepared to witness the minor miracle of Windows XP transformed to Windows 7.
Note: This link takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software.

Robert Kirwan
Candidate for Councillor of Ward 5
How to determine the best candidate in your particular
Since announcing my candidacy for the
position of Councillor of Ward 5 on January 2, 2014, I have been
asked by numerous people for advice on how they should determine
who to vote for in this election. My advice has been simple.
Whenever an election comes up you have a
number of people tossing their names in as candidates, each
promising to do wonderful things if they are elected and making
commitments to change things for the better. Then they go about
putting up lawn signs and some even go knocking on doors to
spend five minutes trying to skim through some issues to make it
look as if they care about what the home owner says. But the
question asked above still remains. How do you know if they are
telling the truth or if they are just saying what you want to
hear to get your vote? How do you know they can actually do what
they say they will do?
My answer is simple. You have to look at
what they have done in the years leading up to the election.
What have the candidates done for your community in the past?
What are they doing now to make a difference in the quality of
life for your residents? You want a representative who has
always been a leader in the community and who has demonstrated
consistent competency in the activities and initiatives in which
he has been involved. A person who just "leaps" onto the scene
with all kinds of grandiose promises to save the city should not
expect everyone to simply take his word for it and blindly give
up their vote for an unproven representative. Your choice for a
Councillor who is going to advocate on your behalf and who is
going to be your "voice" on City Council must surely be able to
justify those promises and commitments with actions from the
past – and not just the past year, but over many, many years.
In my own case, I have basically been
campaigning for the position of City Councillor for over 40
years. At the present time I am currently the Trustee for Wards
5 and 6 with the Rainbow District School Board, so I have
already been elected by the residents of Ward 5 to be their
representative. I
have operated the Valley East Today Community Web Site since
2003. I created the Valley East Community Facebook Group two
years ago and it now has over 2900 members. I am the host of a
weekly live talk radio show called The Learning Clinic where I
have been interviewing people from all walks of life for almost
7 full years and even used this year to try to bring more
awareness of candidates from across the city. I was the editor
of The Vision Paper for over nine years, doing articles on
virtually every aspect of the community, recognizing the
accomplishments and achievements of people who have made a
difference in Valley East. Even recently, I was instrumental in
mounting a large opposition to rate increases at the Howard
Armstrong Recreation Centre. I was on the organizing committee
for the new Spudsbury Potato Festival that was just held in
Blezard Valley. And
there is just so much more that I could list.
So while it is nice that a candidate has
been a good family man; or was successful in his career; or
belongs to an organization in the community; merely putting up a
bunch of lawn signs, making a list of promises on a web site,
and even trying to knock on doors to spend five minutes meeting
face-to-face with a voter during dinner time is just not enough.
People need evidence of past behaviour and contributions
to the community before they should feel confident that what you
say is what you will deliver.
Too often we vote for candidates based on
their promises and the number of lawn signs they put up. We say
that they are working hard to represent us because they are so
eagerly putting up signs, but anyone can do that. It is what
they have done in the past that counts. Not what they "say" they
are going to do in the future.
So my advice to all voters is to do their
homework. Ask people around you about the candidates. See if
they can remember what he/she has done in the past. See what
kind of reputation the people have. If no one knows about the
person, then take that as an indication that perhaps he has not
been very much involved in the past and will likely not be
involved in the future. Make sure the candidate you vote for on
October 27 is ready and qualified to do the job now. This is not
the time to select a candidate who has not spent the time trying
to make this community better in the past. If his commitment was
not there for the past number of years, then don't expect that
much is going to change in the future.

State's 'hate crimes' code used against 'pure speech'; Civil rights advocate warns federal plan 'still lurking in shadows' in U.S. Senate; By Bob Unruh; WorldNetDaily.com; September 12, 2007.
The warning comes from the Pacific Justice Institute, which is running an online petition campaign right now to alert people to the dangers the pending legislation poses.
As WND reported earlier, the federal plan, H.R. 1592, was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, and then when it got to the U.S. Senate, instead of holding hearings and a vote, senators tried to attach it to another bill as an amendment, a maneuver that would have prevented any public input on the plan.
That effort failed, but that doesn't mean the American public is safe from the dangers the federal legislation poses, according to Matt McReynolds, a staff attorney for Pacific Justice.
The full title of the legislation is "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007," and it provides federal help to local agencies dealing with "hate crimes." It also separately creates new federal offenses for "hate crimes," including the addition of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" for inclusion as protected characteristics.
"It hasn't gone away, it's still lurking in the shadows," he told WND. "And not just that. The U.S. House version has passed, so they can slap it on as an amendment to something else."
He said the dangers are real.
"When you start down the list of Western countries,
"That's where hate crimes legislation inevitably has led in other Western societies," he said. His organization has worked on a number of such cases already involving
"The law of unintended consequences – or perhaps intended consequences cleverly disguised – is starkly illustrated by the ongoing federal case Harper v.
"Instead of allowing a differing viewpoint, school officials pulled aside Harper, demanding that he change his expression or face suspension. An assistant principal even suggested to Harper that he needed to leave his faith in the car while at school, in order not to offend homosexual students," according to McReynolds.
"Such a result clearly undermines basic Constitutional protections," including free expression and religion, he noted.
"Incredibly, the federal courts in
"Not surprisingly, Judge Reinhardt's decision cited
He said such cases illustrate that once enacted, "hate crimes" legislation inevitably ends up being used as a justification for restrictions on pure speech, particularly against people of faith who raise religious objections to behavior they consider immoral.
He said it's fortunate that the Harper precedent was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, but he noted that the litigation of the core issues still continues, and other school districts in the state still are relying on the now-vacated decision as a basis for "stifling student speech."
He said Pacific Justice also has worked on cases involving a handful of students in
"Months of negotiations with school officials in an attempt to ensure that students' free speech rights would be respected had limited effects. As a result, the Day of Silence has proved to be even more of a flashpoint this year, with hundreds of suspensions doled out in Sacramento-area high schools for peaceful literature distribution and printed Bible verses on T-shirts. Tolerance, it seems, is becoming a one-way street," he said.
Such intolerance, he said, "appears to flow from biased policy judgments, expressed through hate crimes laws such as H.R. 1592 and its predecessors already embedded in
He also warned that "hate crimes" labeling is not limited to the issue of sexual orientation, but poses significant dangers to the First Amendment.
He said Pacific Justice recently defended Pastor Audie Yancey, who had been ordered to appear before a local "Human Relations Task Force" to answer for some religious tracts he distributed.
They depicted the 9/11 terrorism, and said: "Remember 9/11: In the name of Allah, they brought destruction and death to thousands. In the name of Jesus Christ, you can have eternal life."
While McReynolds said it's hard to imagine a scenario more protected by the long list of leafleting precedents from the Supreme Court, Pastor Yancey still was accused of "hate speech."
The pastor's defense was successful, but "it is alarming to think that some officials believe that, under the pretext of preventing 'hate speech,' they can interrogate a clergyman concerning religious statements which could not possibly be considered threatening."
He also noted recent attacks on Christians by the Hindu American Foundation. That organization, as WND has reported, has blasted Christian organizations across the nation, including the Southern Baptists' missions board, Gospel for Asia and the Minnesota-based Olive Tree Ministries, which aims its ministry at teaching Christians about their beliefs, for having Internet "hate sites."
"The proliferation of websites promoting religious hatred is an unfortunate consequence of the universality of access to the internet," said Vinay Vallabh, the lead author of the report by the Hindu American Foundation. The organization called for Internet Service Providers to censor such postings of Christian beliefs.
"If anything … the concerns about H.R. 1592 are being understated. A decision by Congress to inject the federal government into the culture wars and fundamental theological disputes can only engender further divisiveness and limitations on free speech," the Pacific Justice Institute said.
McReynolds also warned the pending federal plan has included a provision allowing evidence of "expression or associations of the defendant" allegedly related to the "hate crime."
"In other words, a crime committed by a deranged person against someone who is gay or transgender could trigger investigations into churches the defendant attended, or conservative groups he may have been part of," McReynolds said.
As WND also has reported, a
The judge said prosecutors can seek enhanced penalties for the case defendants, if convicted, under the state's Hate Crimes Act of 2000, without any evidence of actual "hate."
Pacific Justice noted that the
"We cannot afford to lose this fight," said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice. "Recent history in
He told WND especially dangerous is the tactic that seems to have been adopted to embed the new restrictions within another piece of legislation, such as a military funding bill.
"If the legislation is going to decide whether our men and women in Iraq are going to have the weapons they need to do their jobs, then we could very easily see this become law [even though President Bush does not support it]," Dacus told WND.
The organization's website petition says: "As a concerned citizen wishing to protect religious freedom, free speech and equal protection for all Americans, I hereby voice my OPPOSITION to the 'Hate Crimes Bill' H.R. 1592 currently being considered by Congress."
A wide range of leaders previously expressed concern over such "hate crimes" plans.
Former White House insider Chuck Colson, in his Breakpoint commentary, has labeled such a provision a "Thought Crimes" plan.
WND columnist Janet Folger wrote the idea of arresting people for stating their religious beliefs that homosexuality is wrong is no longer something that "may" happen in the future.
"Here's the Cliff Notes of what so called 'hate crime' legislation has already done IN AMERICA," she wrote. "This is no longer up for debate. Here are the facts."
· St. Petersburg, Fla. Five Christians including two pastors were arrested at a homosexual rally for stepping onto the public sidewalk instead staying caged in their officially designated "free speech zone."
Folger said the testimony from the grandmothers can be seen and heard at the Stop Hate Crimes Now website.
"Just how many cases do we need to cite before
Comment:These oligarchs want to take our freedom away because it inhibits their unquenchable thirst for power. Yet everyday we continue to turn a blind eye, or in most cases not look in that direction all together, at what these people we elected are doing in office. Do we not understand that this has nothing do with the stupid party rivalry, but with OUR FREEDOMS? But we continue to be ignorant of own peril.

Labor will invest $1.5 million to build a brand new hospital training ward at Caboolture TAFE to skill up the nurses and health workers of tomorrow.
Labor will invest $1.5 million to build a brand new hospital training ward at Caboolture TAFE to skill up the nurses and health workers of tomorrow.
The new hospital training ward will include state-of-the-art mannequins that simulate actual patients so students get experience as close to reality as possible.
Labor's candidate for Longman, Susan Lamb, said the investment was great news for Moreton Bay because demand was soaring across the region for courses in nursing and healthcare.
"As the National Disability Insurance Scheme gets up and running in our community, we'll need hundreds of extra nurses and other health workers," Ms Lamb said.
"I want locals to get those jobs, and I want them to get the best training right here at Caboolture TAFE."
The Deputy Labor Leader, Tanya Plibersek, said the Liberals had cut a massive $3 billion from TAFE and training.
"Labor can afford to invest in Caboolture TAFE, because unlike the Liberals we aren't giving a $17 billion of tax handout to the big banks," Ms Plibersek said.
"Remember Susan's opponent was part of the Campbell Newman regime that gutted Queensland TAFE – 2,300 staff were sacked and TAFE campuses were sold off.
"Just like Malcolm Turnbull, Susan's opponent thinks giving billions of dollars away to the big banks is more important than funding TAFE – the Liberals' priorities are all wrong.
"If you want funding for TAFE instead of banks, then you have to vote for Susan and Labor."
Queensland Minister for Training and Skills Development Shannon Fentiman said state Labor had been working hard to rebuild TAFE Queensland after Campbell Newman's horror cuts.
"The Palaszczuk Government's $500,000 commitment to Caboolture TAFE is a commitment to the people of this region and the skills workers will need for the jobs of the future," Ms Fentiman said.
"We will continue to support TAFE Queensland as the premier public provider of vocational education training in this state.
"The recent state budget provided up to $85 million for three years in the Advancing our Training Infrastructure election commitment, which will include upgrades at Pimlico, Toowoomba, Cairns, and Mt Gravatt, and within the regions of the Gold Coast and Redlands, including the Caboolture project."
The Shadow Minister for Skills, TAFE and Apprenticeships, Doug Cameron, said only Labor believed that every Australian should have the opportunity to get a great education.
"That's why we're proud to support the health workers of the future to get the skills and training they need in Moreton Bay," Mr Cameron said.
"Labor will make TAFE the centrepiece of our training system – by ensuring at least two thirds of training funding goes to TAFE, scrapping upfront fees for 100,000 TAFE students, and investing $100 million in a fund for new TAFE buildings."
Federal Labor will invest $1 million in the project. Queensland Labor will invest $500,000.

And here's the long-awaited picture of me in a hat. No, it wasn't my own wedding. My gorgeous daughter Rosie got married to Paul, my new son-in-law, and together they created one of the most joyful parties I've ever been at. They're good at friendships, these two, and that's a treasure that will be worth its weight in gold over the years to come.
Here they are, just after making their vows. At their request, I spoke at the ceremony, and since people have been kind enough to ask for the words, I give them here. Anyone is welcome to use them - though you'll have to change names and places - but please tell me if you do. I'd love to know!
Two generations ago in Suffolk, Ray Gardiner married Joan Smith. Down in Surrey, Percival Dickinson proposed to Moraig Maclauchlan, and was accepted. Only a few miles away, though the two couples did not know each other, the wedding took place of Una Vincent and Nicholas Bristow. And in south London, not far from where Rosie and Paul live today, Gladys Padley and Alfred Howell celebrated their union. Four couples who could have no idea, as they made their marriage vows, that the choices they made would lead directly to this moment.
And with each step back through the generations, the number of names doubles. Back before living memory, before records began, people whose names are lost to history were plighting their troths, tying the knot, jumping the broom, handfasting or exchanging rings; weaving a carpet of many colours that unrolls from the far distant past to you, Rosie and Paul, and to the ground under your feet.
With the vows that you have just made, the weaving passes to you. Sometimes it will be a magic carpet ride, and sometimes the colours will fade and the patterns grow threadbare, and you'll wonder why you ever took up this task. But don't forget, when things get tough and you're tempted to blame each other, that this is much, much bigger than the two of you.
All those marriages, and the ones you've witnessed in your own lifetimes, and the ones yet to come, are woven out of hope, of faith in the future; of love. They celebrate continuity, and the strength of human connection. And we, the friends and family you've invited to share that celebration, are all part of the weaving. We're here to witness your vows, to share your joy, and to be there for you when you need us.
So now, as you step forward hand in hand into the future, may your hopes and dreams begin to take shape. Be your best selves as often as you can; and when you can't, be gentle with each other. Remember that you're not alone. Be bold, use bright colours, make new and beautiful patterns together. May you weave well.

Simply wonderful words, Su. I've never heard of jumping the broom or plighting their troths before, but I love it. Maybe it is because I'm an Aussie. Thanks for sharing.
