Why the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is Important to You
By Rich Mason, Bartlett, TN
Across our nation a debate rages about "gun control". This euphemism glosses over the fact that what is being debated is one of the most precious guarantors of liberty, the right to keep and bear arms. At the heart of this debate is not whether the right to keep and bears arms is an individual right or not, but at its core the debate is over the primacy of the individual over the primacy of the government. This debate rages because many, too many, in this country have forgotten, or, worse, have never been educated in, the nature of our rights.
Government and liberty are natural adversaries. The founders of our nation understood this. With that understanding in mind they crafted a Constitution and a Bill of Rights designed to limit the power of government and guarantee the rights of the people. The rights that they intended to protect were those written about in the Declaration of Independence and other un-enumerated rights, e.g. the natural, inalienable rights of man.
The Basis of Our Rights:
Point 1: Government does not grant rights. If we were to assign to government the authority to grant rights, then we would also have to acknowledge the government's power to take rights away. Surely, we can all see the dangers of allowing governments formed by men being in the position of assigning our rights to us. Today's right would be tomorrow's crime. Such is the quixotic nature of mankind. The reason we have a Republic and not a pure democracy is because the founders of this country understood the tyrannical nature of a pure democracy. Rather than trusting the wisdom of men, our founders looked to another source as the basis of our rights the Creator of the Universe.
Let us examine this quote from the Declaration of Independence:
Our Founding Fathers stated unequivocally that our rights came not from men, nor governments, but from our Creator. Since our rights are from our Creator and therefore preceded the founding of this country, the government has no authority to deprive us of our rights no matter how unpopular they might become with the government, or even the majority of the people. The Declaration of Independence continues:
and continues:
It is clear from the above that our government does not grant us our rights, but rather was formed to ensure our rights; and when our government fails in its duties to effectively secure our rights, we have the right to abolish that government and form a new one that will effectively ensure our rights.
Point 2: The Constitution is a Limitation on the Power of Government and the Bill of Rights is not an inclusive listing of personal rights. While the Bill of Rights enumerates certain rights, the oft-overlooked 9th Amendment to the Constitution states:
The Bill of Rights is not intended to be an inclusive statement of our rights. All of our rights are to be equally protected under the Constitution, whether enumerated or not. The Constitution, in general, and Bill of Rights, in particular, are intended to be limitations upon the power of the federal government.
Point 3: The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is an Inviolable Personal Right. It is clear from the words of the men who founded this country that the right to "keep and bear arms" is an inviolable personal right and that there are good reasons for it to exist and to be protected by the Second Amendment. This is not a subject for debate, except for those ignorant of our history or those that purposely wish to debase the American citizenry under the tyranny of government and ultimately into subjugation. Anyone who holds the position that the American people do not possess an individual right to keep and bear arms, or that it may be legislated away through gun control laws, is ignorant of the basis upon which this country was founded; including the means by which the founders intended for us to maintain our personal liberties.
Point 4: The Arms of a Free People. The arms referred to by the Second Amendment and the founders of this country are the arms necessary for the free people of America to be able to hold their governments unbridled appetite for power in check and to resist invaders when called upon to serve in the militia in defense of our country, state or community. If the arms of the soldiers of this era are automatic rifles, machine guns and sub-machine guns then it is the right, in fact the obligation, for the citizens of this country to possess such arms themselves. It is laughable on its face, as some have stated, that the Second Amendment would grant to us the right to only have flintlocks or muskets, such weapons as were in use at the time of our countries founding, to defend ourselves against an armed force raised by the government to oppress us, or to defend against an invading enemy. This would be the same as saying, concerning the First Amendment, that the press could only use the printing technology that existed at the time of the Revolution while the government could use movies, television, radio, modern printing presses, the Internet and any other means of communications that it desired. A ridiculous thought isn't it? If it's ridiculous for the First Amendment, why is it any less ridiculous for the Second Amendment? Our rights are not "frozen in a moment of time", they are eternal rights and we are free to use our ingenuity to advance the technology to ensure those rights. If anything, we have the rights to limit the governments use of technology, not the other way around.
Surely, our founding fathers meant for us to have arms that would allow us to meaningfully resist, better yet, deter the government from any attempt at tyranny. No doubt this is a shocking position to the ignorant masses that have been lied to by their government, the press and the educational institutions of this country that our Second Amendment right exists only so we can have single shot sporting arms for such purposes as hunting, target shooting, etc., or that the Second Amendment is a right of the states to maintain armed militias. The following quotes ably put to rest both of these specious arguments:
Second and First Amendment Paralleled
If you are in doubt about whether the Second Amendment is still valid and important to you, even if you choose not to own a gun, consider this:
If the government were to pass legislation to limit your First Amendment right to criticize the government in any form, would you be upset? Would you consider your rights had been unconstitutionally infringed? Would you still feel free? Of course you would be upset and, no, you wouldnt still be free, because one of the bedrock's of our freedom is the ability to freely speak our minds on any subject, particularly criticizing those we have elected to govern us. It is the basis upon which this country was founded, and when we lose that right, we stop being citizens and become subjects.
While you may not have considered it in the same light, the Second Amendment is just as important as the First Amendment. We must support the Second Amendment, with the same fervor that we support the First Amendment. Why? Because our liberties were won at the point of a gun, and the sad reality of this world is that ultimately they can only be maintained at the point of a gun.
Let me ask you this? When the government outlaws free speech, what will you do to oppose it? Write letters of protest? No, that's now against the law. Protest in the streets? No, that's now against the law too. When speech is suppressed and tyranny reigns, only the sound of the gun will be heard. This seems extreme to today's pampered, cowed society, but in the end it will be the only means left to protect the First Amendment when the government finds it inconvenient for us to exercise our right of free speech and religion. However, if our guns have been confiscated, or simply limited to weapons ineffective against an oppressing government, then how will we restore our liberties? The answer, of course, is we won't be able to.
If you think that such a situation cant happen then you have failed to learn the lessons of history. We must all guard jealously the rights we are endowed with by our Creator ALL of them, not just the ones we like, from the tyranny of government control.
The Price of Liberty
Our founding fathers, legislators and justices have spoken eloquently upon the subject of liberty, the need to be prepared to defend our liberty; particularly from our own government.
Supporting Quotes
The founders of our country, quoted below, make it quite clear that Americans possess an inherent right to keep and bear arms and that their main fear for our liberties came not from external forces, but from the very government they were in the process of founding. Any citizen who does not understand this need read no further to begin to gain the knowledge necessary to know why it is not only our right, but our responsibility, to be armed.
From the words of the founders of this country it is clear that the gun control laws enacted in this country are unconstitutional infringements upon our liberties and it is our right and responsibility to oppose, by arms if necessary, the tyranny of our own government. How great a folly it would be if we were to allow the very instrument of tyranny, government, to control whether we have the right to the means to resist tyranny! This is the folly, and danger, of gun control. If we will not put our press under the control of the government, why should we be willing to put the control of our arms, the means to defend the press and our liberties, under the control of the government? The answer is clear, we should not!
When the government attempts to limit the freedom of the free press through censorship, the press, the people, and the courts properly repulse it. When the government limits the right of the people to keep and bear arms, it is engaging in another form of censorship, referred to the by the euphemism of "gun control". Let us call gun control what it is, an infringement of one of our natural and enumerated rights. Just as we correctly withstand government censorship of the press, so should we also resist the governments attempt to control the right to keep and bear arms. Examples of such governmental tyranny on our right to keep and bear arms abound. We should not accept any limitation on any of our rights. One lesson we have learned from history is that when one right is infringed it emboldens the tyrant to attempt to infringe upon other rights as well.
The great men who founded this country trusted us to be the arbiter of our own fate by giving us a Constitution designed to limit the power of government. These great men trusted us to live our lives responsibly, free from the tyranny of government. Why dont we trust ourselves, indeed demand of ourselves, to continue to do so? Upon such choices as face us today are our liberties, and that of our posterity, poised in the balance.
Two final thoughts:
Be that courageous citizen.

Layoffs -- Bad When You're Fired, Worse When You're Not?
Your company just went through another round of layoffs. So many of your colleagues are gone, just like that. You breathe a sigh of relief. At least you still have a job. Yet, are you really better off? According to a recent MSNBC article, the opposite may be true.
In the BusinessWeek article "Can being laid off really make you better off?" Michelle Conlin reports on research from Boeing over the span of 10 years which showed that axed workers were healthier than those left behind. In a study from 1996 to 2006, a tumultuous decade when Boeing laid off tens of thousands, research shows that the survivors suffered just as much, if not more than colleagues who got laid off.
"How much better off the laid-off were was stunning and shocking to us," says Sarah Moore, a University of Puget Sound industrial psychology professor who is one of the book's four authors.
What is the cause of this? Consider this familiar scenario to anyone who has ever survived a round of layoffs.
Survivor's Guilt
With each round of layoffs, the survivors hustled to reinvent themselves. They re-proved, re-auditioned, and re-positioned, only to watch yet another new manager -- pushing the fad du jour -- parade through the door. Employees who had once seen themselves in every plane that flew overhead were now trading in gallows humor. As in, "Dead worker walking."
Human resources specialist Frank Zemek was the researchers' main contact. In an interview, he recalled "the survivor's guilt of the people who were left, who were waiting and not knowing if the hatchet was going to fall on them. They experienced the worst stress."
As someone who has both survived numerous layoffs and has been laid off, I have to say that being a survivor isn't without its grief. Who in the workforce in the last ten years hasn't been told "we'll just have to do more with less". I mean really. By the time you are doing the job of two, three, four, five, ten other people, it is literally impossible not to burn out or have health problems unless you are extremely resilient and adamant about your personal boundaries.
Caustic Cubicles
This is not to say that being laid off is not without its challenges. For those unable to find work or in financial distress, no one is going to convince you that your layoff had a silver lining. Just check out the disparity of comments on getting laid off being a blessing in disguise. (The "hog" comments are a whole new form of venting). Yet, no matter what happens in life, it is what we do with it that determines our current experience and future possibilities. This holds true for the surviving employees as well, but the environment can be wildly toxic.
In "After the Ax: As layoffs hit the in-house bar, lawyers struggle but stay hopeful" Lauren Williamson speaks to the plight of in-house lawyers.
Since law departments are so thinly staffed to begin with, letting go of just a few attorneys can have a big impact. Vidal says there aren't too many options to fill the gaps. "It's just old-fashioned hard work, and you have to take on more than you had in the past," she says. "It's a difficult proposition."
Ripple Effects
If you're struggling to find work, I'm sure you find yourself saying to those you know who kept their jobs, "But at least you still have a job." Yet those very words only add to the stress of those who stay. "Layoffs Also Difficult for Those Who Stay" offers a good reality check for those who feel Pollyanna-ish about those who kept their job:
Yes, those who survive the all-too frequent layoffs these days are grateful for their work, but studies show the stress from all the upheaval can wreak havoc on their health, morale and productivity. And don't expect them to work harder out of sheer gratitude, a recent survey suggests.
Deborah Dunn, a stress-management counselor who worked with survivors of the shootings at Virginia Tech and Hurricane Katrina, says dealing with the recession and ongoing fears of being laid off can be as difficult as dealing with a disaster. "It's a killer," she says.
These people have lost good friends, vast quantities of institutional knowledge, pay raises, benefits – plus, they're being asked to add other people's work to their own load. And they're expected to be upbeat about it.
"There's that low-level anxiety, vulnerability to colds and flu, aches and pains, sleeping difficulties. When you're anxious, waiting for that next shoe to drop, your body stays in a kind of fight-or-flight mode," Dunn said. "Your body is overproducing adrenaline, cortisol, the hormones you need to sustain yourself during a crisis ... Those substances your body is producing are very toxic."
Waiting for the Shoe to Drop
Let's face it, those left behind have no security either. You might be as secure as your next paycheck, if that. So it is like living in a triage area and it comes with all the rah-rah motivation of executives trying to keep the ship afloat. I know in the experiences I had, when the top brass said "We're all in this together" there was a collective eye-roll.
It's not just perceived stress either. Psychology today talks in depth about layoffs and the stress response. That fear-based management technique running rampant? Well, it actually backfires.
It is a management fallacy that keeping people anxious about keeping their jobs, motivates them to perform better. The evidence shows the reverse is true. Researchers have shown that people exposed to prolonged job stress face twice the risk of having a heart attack as non-stressed workers. In companies where layoffs have been implemented, there is a tendency by leaders to assume the survivors need little or no attention, and should believe they are "lucky to have a job."
You got that right -- twice the risk of a heart attack. I don't know about you but those odds are not inspiring.
The bottom line message here is that if you have survived a round of layoffs, you need to practice as much self-care as someone who has been laid off. Sure you need to still perform at your job, but you also need to realize you are still human. There is only so much one person can do. It really is impossible to just "pick up the slack" no matter what anyone thinks. So if you're one of those left behind after a layoff keep it all in perspective. Succumbing to the stress doesn't serve anyone.

My company had lay-offs at the beginning of the year as well as implemented a mandatory furlough week each quarter for those of us left behind. So not only are we forced to pick up the slack of those who were let go, but we also have to pick up the slack for those on unpaid "vacation" each week while continuing to earn the same minimal salary. It's terrible! I hate this job 20x more than I did before all this started and in some ways wish to be laid off. But as everyone says, at least I have a job. The killer was that a few weeks after the lay offs occurred, my boss pulled up in a brand new Jaguar. Really?!?!

My company was bought by a rival in town. 80% of the original staff was let go with an amazing severance. The remainder of us moved operations to the rival headquarters.
Since then, it's been nothing but a demeaning, horrible experience. The resentment aimed at the purchase of our company (because it's more work for everyone) was once voiced by my boss, "Guilty by association." Every day it's another subtle, sometimes not-so-subtle show of how much I'm "lowest seniority" now. It gets really really old.
It's a truly abysmal, toxic and negative place to work. How I wish I had received the severance.

There is no doubt that being a "survivor" is terribly difficult. I've survived at least 8 layoffs that I can remember (at 2 different companies, back to 2001). Just got laid off in May (after surviving a Nov 2008 layoff at the same company).
Now that I've been laid off (and am still unemployed -- going on 7 months now ) I have to say being laid off is indeed worse than being a survivor. But being a survivor is only marginally better since you constantly worry about the next round. And, dang it, there always seems to be a next round!

After a round of layoffs at my old job last year, I was the only one still at the company who did help-desk programming (when before there had been 2 or 3 people to share the workload). On top of that, they wanted me to help out with other major projects that were not help-desk related (which is stressful enough as it is). In the end the stress made me make a big mistake in a client project which earned me a pink slip and loss of any sort of raise (which I had been waiting for after months of hard work).
In the ended I ended up quitting without giving them any notice simply because I couldn't take it anymore. And I had found a much less stressful job closer to home. So in the end it was a blessing in disguise.

I was bought on board as a temp-to-hire employee. I have been with this company for a little over a year and has worked for three different managers. The first manager quit, the second manager was let go, and the third one was a contractor. The company had a HUGE backlog and hence has bought on board three more temp-to-hire employees to help reduce the backlog. For the past four months or so, we had collectively reduced the backlog more than 50%. We were required to meet a daily goal (to produce a certain amount of work), we were required to work at least 10 hours a day plus weekends. During the weekly meetings, my boss would go over the numbers and asked for explanations if he thought the numbers were short. The irony was, they hired someone who has no experience as a regular employee and my boss hired his bosss daughter and everyone else was let go. But, I am glad to leave this place, I have been feeling less stressful and happy (believe or not) ever since they made the announcement. But, most importantly, I deserve something better!

I (and 20 others) were caught in the middle of a union/mgmt cost-cutting squabble early last summer. Mgmt wanted some "givebacks" to make up an expected budget shortfall for the coming fiscal. They put 21 union bodies on the table and then invited them to come up with a better cost-cutting solution that didn't involve layoffs. 2 weeks later, a deal was struck and approved by a supermajority at the shop meeting. Problem is I knew ahead of time that I was on the list. For the last 6 months, I've felt like a dead man walking. When I first knew I was on the list, I made a "list" of my own - all the things I could do if I didn't have this job anymore. I was actually beginning to get excited at the possibilities. So for me, avoiding layoff was somewhat of a letdown, as I'm still stuck in this position, and would actually prefer to be writing a book in Australia right now. But at least the experience got me motivated to make some personal changes.

I have had a similiar experience as Thomas with knowing I am a "dead man walking". Our company started with reduced weekly hours and a monthly mandatory week furlough. Since I am one of the newer employees the rumors were that I would be there long.
To my surprise, so far, I have been kept on. The workload is killer. I decided to quit agonizing and began to look for a way to add "meaningful content" to my life. I am working on establishing friendships, writing and learning to let go of the stress.
I am blogging about the personal changes I am making at http://www.michelle-livingthedream.blogspot.com
I have often wished my company would just lay me off and let me move on instead of dealing with the pressure cooker at work. When I am having a bad day at work, I try to imagine what it would be like to work somewhere worse for less money wishing I was still at my old job. Most of the time that helps me count my blessing.

This is total crap! I got laid off over a year ago and every single part of my life is worse of than it was before I got axed. We had a gym at work, so I worked out every day. I was 10% body fat and dropping, looking the best I have in 36 years of living. I was eating right, which is much tougher to do when you slash your budget drastically on benefits. I had insurance, which has since gone bye bye (which really sucked when I blew out my shoulder and couldn't get it fixed). Now I eat crappy food, can't work out, sit on my butt all day, talk to almost no one (my longest conversation on some days is with the cashier selling me my beer). I've put on 15 pounds and my blood pressure is too high (it was "ideal" before, according to my doc). I had to defer my student loans (yeah, that masters degree is really paying off!!) and minimum payments on credit cards are getting me no where. Every part of my life was better when I had a job. Every part.

Nothing exciting here, I'm afraid. But nothing bad either, so that's good.
We went out to dinner with some old friends the other night. They live in a different part of the county, much more suburban than where we live. The restaurant was in a shopping center and had a large outdoor dining area. Where we are, those restaurants with outdoor seating tend to have pretty small areas for it, sometimes its only along the sidewalk with a lot of traffic noise. We commented on how there were no homeless people hanging around there either, they are a staple where we live. So near, yet so far away!
On Friday morning dh and I took the bikes out to "the island" and got a really good workout. It was really windy so that added to the exertion...also sandblasted us with blowing sand. I was covered in grit because the sand and dirt stuck to the sunscreen--yuck. The bikes also got sandy so today my wonderful dh is cleaning them.
Nephew is still here but we don't see too much of him. Since he uses the bus for transport he leaves early and gets back late. Plus he has some friends living here in addition to the ones he's met at the hospital so much of his free time is spent socializing. His wife is 4.5 months pregnant and just learned, through ultrasound, that there's 90% chance its a boy so nephew is delighted (they already have a girl). When he is here we hear tales of the hospital which are pretty interesting from the outsider doctor's POV.
My ds got back from Italy on Wednesday, sent a text to let us know they had arrived home. Hopefully we can talk to him this weekend to hear about his adventures.
Our weather is not too hot but is somewhat humid, and supposed to get muggier. There's a hurricane off of BC Mex that will send moisture here by Sunday with a chance of thunderstorms. If it has to be muggy then hopefully it will be cloudy to keep the temperature down.
We might go to a museum this weekend, just for something different to do. Either the Natural History or Art, we're members of both so get in for "free". Whether we can find parking at the Park will likely be the question, although I heard a news anchor saying that lots of tourists have already left because school has started in many places. IMO things don't really clear out until mid-September.
That's my update.

My sister and her family were here Wed night to Fri morning. Did family dinners both nights and went to a museum during the day on Thurs.
It is hot although today we are only supppsed to be in the mid 90's (35) rather then the low 100's (39) we usually are this time of year.
Going to a ball game tonight. The second to last home game of the year. The last Sat night game is always Shirt Off Their Back Night. They raffle off their shirts to raise funds for charity. Tonights charity is Autism Speaks.

Nothing exciting here. Volunteered at ds's U for parent orientation this morning for an hour, then went to an Omnimax movie on mummies and had lunch with a friend. Now home watching a movie before dh gets home; also doing laundry. Had pizza last night with dh and made oatmeal raisin cookies. Might go to the zoo tomorrow so dh can see the new sea lion area - but it's to be beastly hot, as it is now - going steadily up to 97 Thursday; usually hot in STL til about late Sept/early Oct. That's what I dislike the most about living here!
|Sat, 08-24-2013 - 6:40pm
The kids were all over yesterday. We ordered pizza in. The boys watched the football game (preseason-- GreenBay, till the Bears started) while us girls played with the Roku Dh got us for the bedroom. It has Angry Birds, and we were playing that. Aubrey likes to watch with Poppa, saying "Wheee, OH Poppa, Too bad, and Oh-Oh!!!" Her vocab has really taken off, with the phrases surprising us. Yesterday, she tood on the deck and called the dog, SCREAMING, "Cmon Ozzie!!!" Today Lauren, Aubrey & I were at the zoo, and Aubrey was watching the giraffes when she said "All tall!" (We read Hop on Pop) and "What doing?"
And so we're at the zoo, and cell reception is poor to begin with, plus we were in several underground viewing areas (seal, polar bear, dolphins) and then we walked out into the open and suddenly BOTH Lauren and my phones are ringing, ringing, and beeping with messages. We each had SIX messages, and as many missed calls. We checked the messages, and one is a photo of Rae and Anthony's hands, and a ring on Rae's finger!!!
Turns out Dh KNEW, and didn't tell me!! Anthony had asked Ed, and explained how he was going to propose, at the Morton Arboretum, where they will probably also have the wedding. Ed said, "I don't own her" but he appreciated the gesture. The wedding will be next fall. They are coming over later tonight, to show us the rings.
So that's been my excitment. Oh, and Bree's other Grandma is trying to get a little food cart business off the ground, so she cannot watch Bree anymore. End result-- I am offically retired from work. It was only about 12 hours a week, and we didn't NEED the money, so that's not a problem.

Congratulations Sabr-a wedding in your future!
We are fast approaching Fall here-leaves are turning colour already, the nights are getting cooler & all the ads are "Back to School"! I like Fall-it is a beautiful time of year-but I do NOT like what comes next-brrrrr!
For excitement-not much. We are going to visit Karen, leaving on Thursday. I told her I do not want to be here for Adam's Birthdate (31st). Everything is too fresh yet-I had a terrible day this week, not only was the 21st the 4mo anniversary of his death, but it was the 26yr anniversary of the day he joined our family. I spent a good part of the day in tears-remembering the little boy who at the age of almost 3 who could not walk, talk or eat-& how much he contributed to our lives, how much love he shared with all of us. He learned so much in his too short life-but he also taught us so much.
When we visit Karen, we'll go see Mike's sister in the same city. She is not well plus she has never learned to drive a car, so can't come to see us easily.
Other than that-I bike about every other day (not as far or as fast as Elspeth & her dh). Tonight we took my paddle-boat out on the lake for a ride, which is a workout too. And I do the usual knitting & sewing & reading-gardening & soon will expand to do woodsplitting & stacking (nobody trusts me with a chain saw-can't imagine why? possibly due to my natural born klutziness?) I will begin to volunteer again on September 10-it did me good to get the summer off, but I do miss "MY" ladies.
|Sun, 08-25-2013 - 9:03am
Today is my DD's birthday. The kids are going to be here for dinner, bringing friends with them. Friends may also drop by. It is going to be a very busy day.
Congrats Sabr on the upcoming wedding.
|Sun, 08-25-2013 - 10:19pm
Nora, Marie, thank you. The wedding will be early next fall. The venue they have been discussing is beautiful, but EXTREMELY expensive. I have told Rae that we are LITERALLY only a few years from retirment, I am no longer working, and they, together, are making MORE than Dh & I were making together, even before I retired. We paid for Lolo's wedding, but Lolo was only 22, and just starting out. However, we paid for Rae's university, which took 5.5 years, as opposed to 3 years of CC for Lolo.
Up to this point, Rae has always said she wanted a small wedding, just immediate family, preferably outdoors. Even our first generation family is very SMALL. Dh & I were both surprises to our families. The only survivor of our aunts & uncles (out of 20!!!) is 96 and in a nursing home. There are only a few remaining first cousins, and the 2 who live in the same STATE as we do, are in their 70's.
Anthony however, wants a big wedding. His friends are spread across half the nation. His family is immense. Plus, he has 3 of them! His mom's, his dad's and his step-dad's. He is close to his step-dad; his mom remarried when Anthony was 3, his sister was 4, and added a half-brother a couple years later. And Anthony's bio-dad wasn't a bad guy--just a big kid himself. A perpetual dreamer who could not buckle down and support a family. And HE remarried, and got divorced again, but not before producing a half-sister. And EVERYBODY came from the Chicago 'burbs, same general areas, everybody gets along with everybody and it's a convention when they all get together.
So, altho we like Anthony, we do NOT want to pay for a huge party where there will only be a handfull of ... "us".
I do not think the girls parse every penny we spend on them, to make sure it's even, and just the other day, Rae's fiancee was griping about a wedding they have been invited to-- that now they were also being invited to the shower, and he said, "These people are in their mid 30's, have dam good jobs, and have a house full of everything since they've been living together for 3 years! And they expect MORE???" He CAN be a little cheap. I don't think he would hold a grudge if we don't pay for their wedding...but you never know.
My head also tells me we will be spending money on grandchildren (which they intend to begin trying for immediatly after the wedding), but I STILL can't help wondering if we should pony up enough to cover our side of the family...
|Mon, 08-26-2013 - 8:54am
Congrats! I'd say maybe just give them a check before the wedding and say it's for whatever - if they want it to cover your side, that's fine; if they want it to go toward their honeymoon - up to them. That way it's a flat amount and not specified so they wouldn't feel funny if they chose to use it for something different, and you wouldn't have to worry about what should it cost to pay for your side, etc. Just a thought. I haven't been to the arboretum in years but I do remember it being lovely!
|Mon, 08-26-2013 - 9:24am
Weddings can be expensive, even small ones. My nephew is getting married in about a month. It is a small event (both sides are not very large), they are doing things very simply but even that is costly. They, the couple, are paying for it with a bit of help from the families. No wedding gifts, only contributions towards their honeymoon.
I kinda understand your future son-in-law's complaint. Wedding gifts were traditioanlly to help the young couple start their lives together. But so many these days have already set up homes and have lived together for several years. How many food proccessors can anyone use!
|Mon, 08-26-2013 - 12:52pm
Congrats on the upcoming wedding Sabr. I hear ya about the costs when your side of the family is small----haven't been through it myself but my brother/SIL had the same complaint when niece married a guy with a huge family. Plus the couple's friends and the guest list can get huge. (I think Dee dealt with that too when her dd got married) I like Sue's idea of just deciding on an amount that you can contribute and giving it to them. Rae is old enough to understand the financial realities. And I'm sure that there are some things that you can do to help her that might keep costs down....I'll bet that you can make lovely centerpieces, for instance.
BTW, did you recently have a birthday? I'm thinking that it is in August but not sure of the date....if we missed it, belated Happy Birthday!

Henley Monday -
Spring has sprung. The warm weather has finally rolled into even our chilliest of climes. I ate lunch OUTSIDE on Saturday, even. OUTSIDE. The sun is shining in the big blue sky, just like Michael Fassbender's eyes shine here. So bright. So piercing. So magnetic that entire universes could revolve around them.
But enough about his eyes check out that henley that was practically PAINTED onto his majestic masculine form. Those jeans aren't bad either.

This week: It's off to the German capital on the Elbe for more from the Dresden Music Festival, where the fest's opening concert featured works by Wagner and Strauss.
Richard Strauss is all over concert programs in 2014, which marks the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. The opening to this year's Dresden Music Festival was no exception, pairing works by Strauss - who premiered some of his greatest works in the city - with music written by Richard Wagner.
This week's program offers the chance to hear outstanding conductors from three different generations active today. There's Daniel Barenboim (b. 1942) with the Staatskapelle Berlin, Christian Thielemann (b. 1959) leading the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra in a brief interlude in the program, and, finally, Andris Nelsons (b. 1978) at the podium with the West German Radio Symphony Orchestra.
It's the latter who conducts the program's primary piece by Strauss - a symphonic fantasy from the opera "Die Frau ohne Schatten" (The Woman Without a Shadow). "This symphonic fantasy is so full of emotionality and full of typical late Strauss - amazing instrumentation," Nelsons tells us.
Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
Overture and Liebestod (Love-Death) from Tristan and Isolde
Staatskapelle Berlin
Conductor: Daniel Barenboim
Recorded by DeutschlandRadio Kultur, Berlin (DLR) in the Semper Opera, Dresden on May 23, 2014
Richard Strauss (1864-1949)
Four Last Songs: Frühling (Springtime)
Renee Fleming, soprano
Munich Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Christian Thielemann
Decca 4781074
Richard Strauss
Symphonic Fantasy on Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman Without a Shadow)
West German Radio Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Andris Nelsons
Recorded by West German Radio, Cologne (WDR) in the Cologne Philharmonie on June 6, 2014
Rebroadcasting rights: One broadcast before September 28, 2015

Every year, IDA opens up our land for the Idapalooza Fruit Jam music festival. This week-long event features queer and trans musicians from around the country, focusing on Southern culture and artists. We also hold workshops, theatrical performances, nature hikes, and try our best to have some good country fun.
Hundreds of people come for Idapalooza every year, and we're thrilled to see so many radical queer communities converge in one place. The event costs Ida a huge amount of resources, so we ask those who can to contribute $25-$100 for registration as well as $20 each day for meal and camping expenses. If you're interested in joining us this year, please make sure to read our annual update, posted below.
MAY 30th through JUNE 4th
It's another year at IDA and another request for you to bring your own damn mug to the Fruit Jam. Whether you're coming to the festival for the first time or returning for your tenth visit, we have lots of important updates for you to check out, so please keep reading!
This year's music is filling up fast and it promises to be one of our most exciting, sweaty, emotionally-draining shows ever. We're planning an art night, long slow jams for you and your sweethearts, hot jams, pop country radio blaring out of boomboxes, and all the surprises and DIY art we know you'll bring along. The full line-up for this year's festival will be announced on the website soon.
What we don't have yet is, oh yeah, more workshops! And daytime activities. And weirdo entertaining things you can all do to fill the afternoon. If you want to teach other people about the radical organizing in your neck of the woods, put together a drawing circle, organize a marching band, or anything else, then do it! You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to get some help, or you can just go ahead and do it on your own. All ridiculousness encouraged.
There is also always space for more volunteers. Many of you volunteer in the kitchen, the trash crew, and other exciting jobs once you show up for the festival. If you're someone who is coming early or staying late, we assume that means you are here to help-- just make sure that you let us know that is the case through email or a phone call. And if you're someone who wants to take on a big role (parking, anyone?), get in touch with us and we'll be thrilled to set that up. Major organizing gigs are best left for people who have been to the festival at least once or twice in the past.
LoGiSticALly SPeAkinG, how are you going to get here? If yr flying or taking a train, please schedule around our twice daily pick-ups in Nashville, at 1pm and 8pm. If you miss the pick-up, you might well have to spend the night in the city(sorry!). There's also a commuter train to Lebanon, which is 50 minutes away from IDA. Commuter Train Tickets and Schedule (Unfortunately, the commuter train does not serve the airport.)
If yr driving, you can do us a huge favor by making use of our ride share board. Who doesn't want to make a new friend and cut down on the massive amount of cars we have to deal with? Along those lines, don't forget to pick up all the supplies you'll need (we're thinking of your drinks and your cigarettes and your flashlights and all that) before you show up at the festival, as getting to town can be a pain in the ass.
Do you have a dog? That's great. Leave it at home.
Once you get here without your dog, the fun will start. We'll provide you with three vegetarian meals a day, point you toward a spot to pitch your tent, ask you for money to help cover our growing costs and help out a little with the mortgage ($25-100 to register, $25+ per day for food and other costs, and of course, no one turned away for lack of funds), and encourage you to have a gay old time.
Finally, we want to encourage you to help us maintain the wonderful relationships we have with our neighbors. We've spent years developing friendships with our neighbors down Dry Creek and in town, and we hope that you'll contribute to that experience. This means driving the speed limit, staying friendly, and refraining from any illegal activity. Most Idapalooza attendees stand out while in town, so it's especially important that we maintain the friendly relationships we've had for almost twenty years. It's an exciting opportunity to form close relationships with people who might have different lifestyles than you do, and we hope to continue doing so for years to come.
For those of you driving, you can get directions here: Ida Directions
Pre-Registration Form
See you soon! The Idahoes

Anne Boleyn really got the last laugh in general An immortal queen if you will, vindicated by the fact her daugher, Elizabeth I became one of the greatest monarchs England has ever know. JANE SEYMOUR CAN GO SUCK ONE. lololol.
BTW, if you want to be annoying, this is relating to the show. I didn't totally dig Jane in it. I think the actress is great, she just wasn't an interesting character to me. I have no problem with the real Queen Jane Seymour other than the fact that she did exactly what Anne did and was called so sweet and innocent.

Liverpool have jumped to the front of the queue of clubs looking to land Benfica star Nicolas Gaitan in the summer.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is busy compiling a list of targets as he looks to build a squad capable of an assault on the Champions League and the Premier League with the attacking midfielder apparently an option.Thought of as a player who can unlock a stubborn defence, the Argentine is rated in the region of £20million and that should be enough to persuade the Portuguese giants to sell a player they bought for just £7million four years ago. After events of this week it may be that Rodgers changes his buying plans and looks to add to his leaky defence before worrying about an attack that has not been a problem all season.

Words of wisdom as we move into the weekend…
(Source: betype)
I like this line of thinking.
(via betype)
Do it.
(Source: hydrotoxicity, via modernhepburn)
Solid advice, right?
(Source: betype, via modernhepburn)
I luv Isaac Mizrahi. LUV. The man is a creative genius.
Not only is he an award-winning fashion designer and, arguably, the godfather of diffusion lines for big box retailers and fast fashion chains, he has also been the subject of a documentary, hosted two TV talk shows and a reality fashion show, starred in an off-Broadway one-man show, created a series of comic books, designed costumes for three Broadway revivals, co-wrote a historic documentary for PBS, and is rumored to be developing a one-hour scripted project for the CW.
Oh, and he recently sold his business to Xcel Brands for $31.5 million.
What I really adore about Isaac, though, is his personality. He is frank, funny, and always dishing out fabulous advice. Which brings me to the video above.
In it he tells women to "stay away from face work." Which is so timely because… I noticed the first signs of aging as I looked at my face in the mirror last night, y'all. I now have a few fine lines under my eyes.
I mean, I'm not surprised. I will be 30 in December. But I'm a little sad. (However, the day the "bloom has fallen off the rose," so to speak, I might sob uncontrollably. Nothing terrifies me quite like those words.)
Nonetheless, I'm not going to get Botox injections or begin planning an eye lift. I'm with Isaac. There's no better way to look older than you are than by having work done.
Nine times out of 10, it doesn't look natural at all and instead of looking good for your age, you look like an old person trying to appear young.

Mel Shaw: The Disney Artist Who Remade Howdy Doody
Posted By Patrick Kiger On December 1, 2012 @ 8:41 am In Legacy | Comments Disabled
In a remarkable career that spanned more than a half-century, Disney design artist Mel Shaw earned a spot in animation's pantheon for his work on a slew of classic films, ranging from Fantasia and Bambi in the early 1940s to The Lion King in the 1990s.
The Brooklyn-born artist, who earned his first accolades at age 12 when a mule and rider that he carved from a bar of soap won second prize in a Procter & Gamble contest, had a genius for translating Disney stories into drawings. His creations included the compelling title sequence of the 1977 Disney movie The Rescuers [1], in which one of the characters stuffs a plea for help into a bottle and tosses it into the ocean.
But Shaw, who died on Nov. 22 at age 97 [2] in Reseda, Calif., had another even more famous creation, one for which he seldom received attention. As Shaw's website [3] notes, while on a hiatus from Disney after World War II, he teamed with his then-partner Bob Allen [4] to create the familiar version of Howdy Doody, the freckle-faced marionette who was one of the first big stars of television on the NBC network. Here are five things you probably don't know about Shaw and the legendary character he helped fashion.

Summary: The Quest for Evolutionary Socialism is a timely response to the need for a new, comprehensive biography of the life and works of Eduard Bernstein, the German "Father of Marxist Revisionism". Professor Steger addresses recent academic developments and current debates on the "End of Socialism". Setting this study within the historical context of the European labor movement, Steger thus interprets Bernstein's "Evolutionary Socialism" as an ethically-motivated quest for liberty, solidarity and dist ...show moreributive justice. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 1

Oh, the humanity: Lamo and Manning chat logs released
Summary: A year after the entire Wikileaks explosion, the conversation that started it all — a chat between hacker Adrian Lamo and intelligence analyst Bradley Manning — have been released.
A year after the entire Wikileaks explosion, the conversation that started it all -- a chat between hacker Adrian Lamo and intelligence analyst Bradley Manning -- have been released by Wired.
Far from being the intelligence win or ammunition in a national security case, what these logs reveal is the sad, troubling humanity of both of these young men. Throughout history, though, it's always been the case that men were willing to betray their countries for small things, the personally troubling issues that they needed to resolve somehow.
Treason can often be terribly banal, and yet still so damaging.
While the logs make you feel for both Lamo and Manning, it must still be said that whether or not Manning was hurting inside, he still betrayed his country and still needs to be punished for that action. There were other ways -- beyond putting national security at risk -- that he could have sought help and attention.
