Hopefully praying for money works just as well as praying for rain.
Wow. Where did this cross the line into extortion?
lol. I pray to Santa that this whole thing turns into an epic clusterfuck.
So, how many MH members actually saw the original language? If this was one bullet on one post of one of MH's blogs, sounds like it wasn't really getting a huge amount of press.
Still, highly amusing, and disturbing.
An apple sauce and kool aid dinner will be rewarded to the highest contributers.
So, let me get this straight... which I try to stay clear of.... but because I don't use my talents, give my time, and waste my money on a religion I don't believe in, I'm going to be smited and considered a dark person? Well, that begins my crusade to build a HUGE wall right next to their church... I can justify spending the money, if my wall will cast a huge shadow on their church. Now that's a shadow I can believe in!
"Hey, anybody thirsty around here?"
Ill admit I was a bit freaked out by the whole Mars Hill Real Estate Pyramid Scheme, especially when they opened a brainwashing gulag and wallet cleanser just down the street from my home.
But then I remembered that I grew up in the South with the Southern Baptists and the Ku Klux Klanthe kind of charming people who are dead serious when they say they want to start a race war and also exterminate all of the gaysand I realized that Mars Hill is barely the pathetic margarine of evil in comparison (I cant believe its not evil!). Now Im all meh, whatever. Suck it, American Taliban.
This rhetoric is utterly par for the course for all of Mark "Have You Fucked Me?" Driscoll's MH Jesus missives.
Much of the MH lit flirts with borderline extortion or blackmail of one sort or the other. The rest of it seems primarily concerned seeing how many crimes of historical inaccuracy can be shoved into a single sentence.
"Go Old Testament?" Mark "HYFM?" Driscoll wouldn't know the Torah if it... well, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't do that with a Torah. Suffice it to say Mark "HYFM?" Driscoll needs to learn better the texts and languages he intends to discuss in his MH lit.
The best news of all is that this lit is free for the taking!
The downside is that you have to go in there of a Sunday (or any of the other twelve days a week they hold services) and actually take it yourself. This felt a bit creepy. But they are nice people, and smile a lot, and really really big eyes and they smell like soap and something slightly acrid. You can hardly see the horns. Anyway, you have to ask them for the stuff, and then they just start handing it over! It was like the loaves and freaking fishes. The fundy lit poured forth like ... fish.
The very best pamphlet, and the one that gave Abs her brilliant idea for her Mark "HYFM?" Driscoll campaign, is the one on straight male sexuality, all beautifully illustrated with nude shots of Greek male statues.
This veers a bit, I am afraid, from the original plot of the Slog: Mark "HYFM?" Driscoll's extortion of the flock. But I have a cool $50 sitting right here waiting for anyone to present solid evidence that Mark "HYMF?" Driscoll has been having an extramarital homosexual affair (within or without a relationship of prostitution; hopefullyfor the minor's sakenot with a minor; I will entertain proof of an extramarital het affair, but will be disappointed; any drug involvement, however, is a plus), and this seemed as good a place as any to remind folks.
Fundy extortion is a good topic too. But it's not as good as when Mark "HYFM?" Driscoll gets busted for a meth-laced gay dalliance.
And, finally, theres a call for prayers for one of the family of one of the Mars Hill pastors. His wife is dying of cancer. If youre the praying kind, pray for em.
Wow, that comes off as disingenuous, smarmy and opportunistic.
Fight fire with fire, huh Dan?
Well, what we need, Susan, is we need money to build an interstellar cruiser, mmkay.
Sincere, Judah. Don't know how to prove it to your satisfaction, but there it is.
Is it your goal to inspire enough Mars Hill hatred that you could incite a Colorado-style church killing spree here, too?
If so, you're doing a good job.
I think maybe Mars Hill may be having some teeny mortgage troubles with some of its real estate empire. Tee hee!
Wishes for the survival of the wife with cancer: best. Wishes for the survival of Mars Hill: not so much.
The Wall Street Journal wrote an interesting article about tithing last month. I was struck by the arrogance in quotes like this:
Steve Sorensen, director of pastoral ministries at Cornerstone, says the church requires its paid and volunteer leaders to tithe, and teaches new members to do so, although it doesn't make them show proof of income. "When you tithe, God makes promises to us, that he ... is not going to let anything bad or destructive come about," says Mr. Sorensen. For those who don't tithe, he says the Lord "is not obligated to do those things for you."
Jesus is magic indeed...and he now takes plastic!
Some Baptist churches are trying to encourage tithing by accepting credit-card payments and automatic deductions from checking accounts. Two years ago, the Rev. Marty Baker, pastor of Stevens Creek Church in Augusta, Ga., created the "giving kiosk" machine that allows congregants to donate at the church from their bank cards. He and his wife launched SecureGive, a for-profit company, which has placed 50 kiosks in churches. He says the machines can help track which families are giving the most.
Has anyone thought to forward a copy of this to the bank that just loaned MH a shit-load of money to purchase the Belltown property?
For some reason, I think they'd be verrrrry interested...
Don't know how to prove it to your satisfaction,
There's a mean joke here somewhere, I just can't quite nail it down.
Oo, Comte, our dear friends at Bank of America seem to have been the suckers here. There's a public doc online, the Oct. 22 Deed of Trust that shows BofA on the hook for a total of $17M fronted to Mars Hill. Notices under the agreement are to go to Steve Maloney, Bank of America Commercial Banking, 800 Fifth Avenue, 36th Floor, Mail Stop WA1-501-36-02.
If someone can find Mr. Maloney's email and send along the news, that would help protect the interests of the bank's depositors and investors. Or find out who Maloney's boss is and send it there.
I demand a city with no Churches, crosses or Judah's.
I demand a city with no Churches, crosses or Judah's.
And I demand a Slog with commenters who know when to use upper case letters and apostrophes. Looks like we're both shit out of luck.
Dan, as someone who lives only two blocks from Mars Hill's new downtown location, I don't mind the new neighbors.
Well, that's because you're eeeeeeevil, Will.
Ugh. Just ugh. These people are Christians in the same way that Osama bin Laden is a Muslim.
God is my co-signor.
Don't get me wrong, Dan. I miss Tabella, what with the muzzle flashes at closing time. THAT'S the part of downtown life I savor.
dan, it's nice to see your sincerity from time to time. thank you.
Did it ever occur to the MH people that all of this is just God's way of telling them that he's pissed at them for all of their bigotry?
You know, SOME churches use their money to help the poor and needy, not to purchase expensive properties in downtown city centers and stage extravagant "look at me" public baptism theatre.
Miscogynist Hill Church and Pastor ("I'm not gay" Driscoll can take a flying fuck, and I hope it happens soon.
And casually dropping in the cancer victim mention to soften the religio-extortionism?
What a fucking tool.
No, no. You see, when something good happens to Christians, they're being rewarded by God. When something bad happens, it's God's will and has nothing to do with the behavior of said Christians. Note: this does not apply to faceless hurricane, earthquake, or tsunami victims. They all deserved to die.
The other night, I overheard a conversation on the bus that I would have been better off not hearing.
A woman was talking to someone on a cellphone, telling him or her the importance of tithing. The summary of her thesis: if you tithe to the church, God will directly reward you, commensurate to the percentage of your earnings that you give. So, if you hand over your entire paycheck, you'll magically win the lottery or some such shit. (Please note that I'm not exaggerating, she actually used that example.)
For people like that, there is literally no difference between old-style superstition and monotheistic religion, whether she's slaughtering a chicken and pouring its blood over an altar or donating money to a church.
Driscoll doesnt post the prayer requests and doesnt give input on the West Seattle church blog. This was a simple attempt at 2 things: 1) letting the church know the financial state of things. 2) keeping the church posted on the needs of a well-loved church family. The argument over the churchs handling of finances is reasonable. Linking that discussion to the cancer post in this blog is not.
Gotta love Google. I couldn't find the Deed of Trust but I did find Mars Hills financial summary showing the figures for their weekly/monthly budgets along with the weekly/monthly amount people "tithe":
PDF's here - http://www.marshillchurch.org/audio/0207_voxpop.pdf

CHURCH FINANCIAL INFORMATION/WEEKLY GIVING TRENDS Date Budget Giving # of Givers Attendance 12/10/2006 $130,000 $159,922 705 4728 12/17/2006 $130,000 $168,925 543 4239 12/24/2006 $130,000 $168,585 584 4073 12/31/2006 $130,000 $336,532 621 3672 1/7/2007 $150,000 $168,248 618 5421 1/14/2007 $150,000 $139,666 513 4704
@2 It turned into extortion in 1987, when God told Oral Roberts that he would "call [him] home" if Roberts didn't raise $8 million. Fundies have been paying into this protection scheme ever since.
So, um, if God Needs Money (sounds like a bad '50's sci-fi flick) can't he just print up as much as he wants?
So, the "Lord's Prayer," prayed by every Christian on the globe (which, apparently, is about 2 billion people) says, "Deliver us from the evil one." I guess it was just in ignorance that you mocked someone for saying the same thing. Or maybe you meant to mock Jesus. But, hey, I guess that's "cool" too.
You mean the Good Lord may be calling some of the MH pastorprix home if they don't raise enough bucks?
Ooh. I can hardly wait to wave as they go flying off into the ionosphere.

Homemade Vapor Rub for Youngsters & Adults
If you're a parent (or even if you're not) you've no doubt experienced "the sickies" that seem to follow our youngsters around wherever they go. Sometimes it's not a problem-I've seen more than a few tots run around mindless of their runny nose-but sometimes that congestion, especially when accompanied by cough, can interfere with sleep and overall comfort.
When this situation crops up, don't head straight for the Vicks Vapor Rub. It can be harmful (see note below) and you can easily whip up your own version, sans all the bad stuff. Here's a recipe that is simple, safe, and that works for people of all ages.
You will need…
-10-15 drops of essential oil for scent (eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary, lavender, any combination, etc.)
-1/2 cup of coconut oil or olive oil
-1-2 tablespoons of beeswax pastilles, candelilla wax or palm shortening (it can be made without it, but it won't be as thick.)
If you're using it, melt 1-2 tablespoons of wax in a double boiler. When it has just finished up melting, stir in ½ cup of olive oil or coconut oil along with the essential oils you've chosen to use.
Stir all that goodness together until it's completely blended and then transfer to a container with a tight fitting lid. Let it infuse for 24 hours. After a couple of months dispose of it, since you've been sticking your fingers in it, and make a new batch!
Where do we get our ingredients? We get most of our ingredients from (and recommend) Mountain Rose Herbs. We have had great experiences with products of high quality for affordable prices-something that's vital in a world where things can get costly fast-and we feel good supporting them as they focus on fair trade and sustainable agriculture.
- Using olive oil makes a liquid rub, using the wax yields a "solid" rub
- If you're making this for a small child, half the recipe.
- Always dilute the essential oils
- You can get beeswax pastilles (chips) at many health food stores, or you can order it online. The same goes for candelilla wax or palm shortening.
- Experiment with different ratios! If you want it thicker, add more wax, and vice versa. Find out what smells work best, and try to discover a great combination.
Risky Vicks
Vicks can be harmful to youngsters. It has ingredients that act as irritants which the body reacts to by producing even more mucous. That might not be a big deal for adults, but for little ones under the age of 2, that irritation can cause a whole lot of problems. An infant or young child's airway is much narrower than ours, which means increased mucus and inflammation affects them more severely and makes breathing that much more of a struggle. That struggle can lead to upper-respiratory problems, and some reported cases of them have been quite nasty. (Vicks also contains turpentine oil…I wouldn't want to be rubbing that on a little chest!)
Why Vicks feels helpful: It is notably the menthol in Vicks Vapor Rub that tricks the brain into thinking the body can breathe easier because of the cold sensation it causes. That cold feeling is processed as indicating more airflow, which is why it makes you feel better, but doesn't actually help you breathe better.
Note: If you are making this for a child, always dilute by adding a higher ration of olive or coconut oil and a lower ratio of essential oil, and use as little as needed. Never rub directly beneath your/your child's nose. Use only on chest, and for infants try rubbing on feet.

We're building a proposal to enhance customer support. The support reps would stream their desktops over the internet. To do this, we'll need software for reps to share their desktop and live stream that content to a unique link.
To summarize, we're looking for:
- capturing a desktop
- ability to stream the content live over the internet
- no need for the user to download any software
Is there any software that exists for this?
Windows Live Meeting/Communicator would be perfect, but it requires the user download that as well (unlikely). Camtasia does screen capture but doesn't provide live streaming options.

Samantha Kay Dunstan
Jul. 27, 1990
Michigan, USA
May 29, 2006
Lenawee County
Michigan, USA
A friendly high school freshman who loved animals and crocheting in her spare time, Samantha Kay Dunstan died Tuesday, May 30, 2006, in her home in Deerfield Township of complications from diabetes.
Miss Dunstan, 15, attended Hartland High School and enjoyed "typical teenage things," like going to school dances and listening to music, said her sister-in-law, Jennifer McCloud-Metcalf."She was definitely an energetic teenager, full of life," McCloud-Metcalf said.
Miss Dunstan was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 10 years old and would take two or three insulin shots during the day to stay healthy, but her blood sugar would not always cooperate, said her uncle, Daniel Stockdale. "She had a hard time controlling it," he said.
When she was younger, she participated in the Girl Scouts and 4-H. She had a love of animals that she displayed by taking care of her chickens, rabbits and four dachshund puppies. Her favorite pastime was crocheting, and she recently made several purses and an afghan for her bed."
She was a beautiful young girl. She had lots of friends," Stockdale said. McCloud-Metcalf said she was fond of children and often played with her nieces and nephews who live nearby. She enjoyed occasionally babysitting them.
Survivors include Miss Dunstan's mother, Deborah Kern; twin brothers, Shawn Metcalf and James Metcalf; a grandmother, Vivian Dunstan; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her father, David Dunstan.
A funeral will be held at MacDonald's Funeral Home, 315 N. Michigan Ave., Howell at 11 a.m. today.
Burial will follow in Lakeview Cemetery in Howell MI.

April 1, 2010 by Brett Carlson
With change, comes opportunity. That's especially the case for three former FLW Walleye League anglers. In late October, FLW Outdoors announced drastic changes to their walleye programs. For starters, the Walleye League was eliminated. In addition, the Walleye Tour greatly reduced the cost of entry and expanded to two divisions - Western and Eastern.
As soon as the news hit, dissension was the only consensus among the fishermen. Understandably, some long-time tour pros were opposed to the changes. But for the successful weekend angler, these changes opened the door to compete at the highest level.
Minke moves up
Case in point is Dusty Minke. For the past four years, Minke has been a mainstay in the Minnesota Division of the Walleye League. In his young career, he's won two League qualifiers and nearly claimed last year's Walleye League Finals on Lake Wissota. He's also tried his hand on the tour level - fishing one event each of the past two seasons. He's always wanted to do more, but it was never quite economically feasible.
"If they would have kept the Tour the way it was, I don't think I could have done it," Minke said. "Fishing just the Western Division is still a jump. It's three events and a championship, but it's more days of fishing. Now we're looking at a whole week instead of a weekend. That's a lot of time to take off from work."
Minke is friends with many of the biggest names in walleye fishing - guys like Chris Gilman, Ted Takasaki and Perry Good. Although he favors the changes, he understands if others don't.
"For some of those guys, this was their bread and butter; they're frustrated. And I've always wanted to be at that elite level. But for me, this came at a perfect time. I wanted to step up but I couldn't really afford it and I couldn't take the time. This is just a great opportunity."
Minke works with North Country Marketing Ltd., a manufacturers representative firm specializing in outdoor and shooting products. As a full-time employee, he never really pursued sponsors because he didn't have the time to perform the necessary promotional duties. While other pros worked sports shows and conducted seminars, Minke was always busy at North Country.
"Now that I'm fishing the Tour, I've picked up some nice sponsors like Optima Batteries, Northland Fishing Tackle, Kruger Farms, Big Tooth Tackle, R&R Marine and Formula Propeller. These are companies that saw me perform in the League and encouraged me to try the Tour. Basically, the League put me in this position - so I will always be grateful for it."
In 2010 Minke will be running a new Ranger 618 Tiller with a 90-horsepower Yamaha on the back. By tournament standards, it's on the small end of the boat-motor continuum.
"If I had to fish the Eastern Division on big waters like Lake Erie I might be in trouble. But I feel pretty confident I can fish competitively (with an 18-footer) in all the Western events. My goal this year is to win Angler of the Year and to win a tournament. That's lofty, but I am pretty confident; you have to be in this sport."
Kriese's long wait is over
At the opposite end of the spectrum is Duane Kriese. While Minke is still a young buck, Kriese is an established career and family man. At 47 years old, he's waited for this opportunity for a long time.
"My priority has always been spending time with my family," said Kriese, a manager at City Wide Insulation. "I have a wife and three kids - two boys, one is 24, one is 21 and my daughter is 15 and will be starting high school next fall. I knew if I fished professionally I would miss out on a lot of family time. And I didn't want to do that. But they are at the age where they can pretty much take care of themselves. And now it's time for me to go fishing."
Kriese lives in Shakopee, Minn., and is well versed on many classic Minnesota walleye waters. He's fished PWT events on the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers. He's fished Walleye League tournaments on Cass, Leech and Bemidji and he too has dabbled on the Walleye Tour. What scared him about fishing a full Tour season was heading out east to massive open-water lakes that were completely unfamiliar.
"I was probably going to fish some of the Tour if they hadn't made the changes. But now I can fish the entire Western Division. I just didn't want to go out east and be blind-sided. Once they went to two divisions it was a no brainer. It cuts down on travel time and travel expenses. And less travel time means less time I need to take off from work.
"I really like being able to stick just to the Western Division. In my mind, that was the death of the PWT. Driving from Bull Shoals, Ark., to Dryden, Ontario, is too much - especially with gas the way it is. This is my side of the Upper Midwest I guess. And that is huge. This is something I've waited to do for many years and this particular format made it happen for me."
Bro goes West
As a full-time guide on northern Minnesota lakes like Cass, Bowstring and Winnibigoshish, Brian Brosdahl's summers are extremely busy. He's also instrumental on the promotional side of the fishing industry. For example, he has own line of Frabill-branded ice fishing rods. He's also designed a variety of panfish lures for Northland Fishing Tackle - known as Bro's Bug Collection. In fact, Brosdahl estimates the ice fishing side of the sport accounts for nearly 70 percent of his livelihood.
"Sponsor wise, I'm a lot different than most professional walleye fishermen," he said. "I have nothing to lose because I didn't gain my sponsors through tournament fishing. My main sponsors like Frabill, Northland and Hummingbird think open-water fishing is just a bonus. What tournament fishing really does for me is sharpen my skills for guiding. The stress level is about the same because clients want to be catching fish too."
That being said, Bro has enjoyed considerable success. He's never won an FLW Outdoors event, but he's finished in the top 10 in six of the 21 tournaments he's entered. Last year he took third place at the Walleye Tour qualifier on Leech - cashing a check for over $12,000. In addition to FLW events, the Max, Minn., native competes in local walleye tournaments and a few bass competitions. While Bro has always had the itch to fish a full tour-level season, he could never quite fit it into his schedule.
"This year I decided I wanted to do fewer tournaments, but quality ones. And I'm also curious to test other waters. If I don't schedule these tournaments (outside of northern Minnesota), I'll never get to see or do other things. I've never seen Oahe. And I've only fished Devils in the winter for perch. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the championship is on Leech - one of my favorite local lakes. I really want to make it back there.
"I've had fun doing the FLW tournaments. The consistency (in how the tournaments are administered) is what I like; you know what you're getting with FLW. I had always planned on doing the Tour full time at least once. I was on the fence but I operate under the philosophy that you only live once. It's going to be interesting and fun."
Season opener looms
The season-opening Eastern Division event of the 2010 Walleye Tour season is slated to take place April 8-10 on the Detroit River and the Michigan side of Lake Erie.
The season-opening Western Division event takes place May 20-22 on the St. Croix River and Pool 3 of the Mississippi River.

He may be the opposition frontrunner for next year's Indian elections, but the ghosts of the carnage in his fiefdom a decade ago have returned to haunt Narendra Modi's prime ministerial ambitions.
Modi, chief minister of the thriving state of Gujarat for over a decade and favourite to be the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) candidate for the national polls, has been campaigning furiously to paint himself as a pro-business reformist who can revive the fortunes of the world's largest democracy.
But a new court case and an anti-Modi outburst from one of the BJP's allies have picked at wounds which date back to events 11 years ago, when 2,000 people were killed in religious riots. Most were Muslims.
And for all his efforts to wipe the slate clean, analysts say that his Hindu nationalist party may well conclude that he remains too divisive a figure to steer it to victory over the secular ruling Congress party.
"Is Modi capable of leading the party to victory across the country? The BJP could take that kind of risk with (former BJP premier) Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1996... but with Modi there's a suspicion that he might polarise the country," Parsa Venkateshwar Rao, a columnist for the Mumbai-based DNA daily, told AFP.
B.G. Verghese of the Centre for Policy Research, in New Delhi, said Modi's rivals in the BJP were happy to see him make the running "as they don't want to reveal their hands" but he ultimately has too many enemies.
"Moderates are suspicious of him and he has many enemies even within the Gujarat BJP itself... They feel he is a divisive force in the party and in the community," Verghese told AFP.
India's parliamentary arithmetic means the BJP -- currently the largest opposition party, with 115 MPs -- not only needs to win 200 of the 550 seats up for grabs but must then forge an alliance with regional parties.
At the moment, it has an alliance with eight other parties -- all of which it needs to keep onside to have a realistic chance of forging the next government.
But the Janata Dal United (JD-U) party, the BJP's biggest partner with 20 seats, made clear its opposition to Modi last week as the party's executive accused him of having "failed in discharging his duties" during the riots.
Other potential kingmakers have voiced distaste, such as the Samajwadi Party (SP) which is part of the Congress-led coalition but whose leader has made a point of praising another of the BJP's big guns, L.K. Advani.
Polls show Modi is the most popular of the BJP's leaders, in particular drawing strong support from India's emerging urban middle class.
Gujarat has enjoyed annual growth rates of 10-12 percent since 2007, far outpacing the rest of the country, while its cities have benefited from major development projects such as metro systems.
And as the son of a tea stallholder, Modi's backstory should serve as an inspiring contrast to that of Rahul Gandhi -- the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi ruling dynasty who could well be Congress's election frontman.
But Modi remains toxic in the eyes of India's Muslim minority which accounts for around 13 percent of the population but is much larger in politically vital states such as northern Uttar Pradesh.
While refusing to apologise for 2002, Modi argues that Gujarat has proven to be a model of "peace, unity and compassion", telling AFP in an interview in October it would not have prospered "if the poison of religion was present".
All investigations have cleared him of any personal responsibility but one of his former ministers, Maya Kodnani, was jailed for life for instigating the killing of 97 Muslims.
The most high-profile victim was retired Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, burned to death when a mob attacked his home in Gujarat's main city Ahmedabad.
Now a local court is to hear a petition from April 24 by his widow Zakia Jafri challenging the findings of an official inquiry which cleared Modi.
In an editorial last week The Economist said there was much to admire in Modi, who was boycotted by the European Union until recently and is still unable to gain a visa for the United States.
But it added: "Although Mr Modi may be clean enough to avoid conviction... if he dreams of becoming a leader for all India, including its 177 million Muslims, he must show genuine contrition for the horrors that happened when he was in charge in Gujarat."

I snorted coffee when I read that e pluribus unim quote.
Ditto everything you just said!
oui! oui! plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose! je suis a la fac? merde!
The main thing behind the "English-only" movement is bigotry, pure and simple. They feel superior to people of color and this is the cause they use to justify it. They are no different than those fighting to "protect" marriage who really just hate gay people. These laws are just cover to legislate their bigoted beliefs.
The "Official English" movement is about Spanish. It's about Mexicans. Notice they never talk about those awful Russians or Somalis or even Vietnamese.
It's popular on the right to say "they aren't assimilating". But of course they are, just like the Jews and Germans and Chinese did before them. The immigrant generation speaks the native tongue; the children speak both; the grandchildren speak English. Having done a lot of newspaper research on the 19th century, I can verify that there were DOZENS AND DOZENS of German-language newspapers published all over the US, up until WWII even. The racists, as usual, lie.
The one vote story is a bit of an urban legend though. There was never any question of making German official. See http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa010820a.htm
I never thought I'd see New Braunfels on Slog! It's a nice day, should we grab a case of bud and tube down the river or hit Schlitterbahn?
Soooooo... you can tell people are stupid when they disagree with you. I think that's only true when they disagree with me. Wanna fight?
And anyway, everything you said after mentioning the caller was total bullshit.
In fact there's too issues here:
1) it's ridiculous to run a country in 100 languages. It's really expensive. Do you see your beloved Mexicans or your beloved French people running bilingual countries? Only the Canadians do it. And you won't find any of them encouraging you to repeat the experiment here (not even les Québecois, who live in a province that has in fact exactly 1 seul langue officiel).
2) Having an official language is almost certainly discriminatory against those who don't speak the language.
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, and it was THIS that that caller was referring to, the real question here is "What is the best way to help people assimilate to American society."
And honestly, referring again to the Canadian but also to any other segregated society, and myself living in a bilingual area, I'm quite convinced that de facto segregation will always exist in a society where different poeples don't understand one anothers' languages. And Americans can't learn other languages worth shit, so it just happens that other people are gonna half to learn theirs. Imagine if black people spoke a different language. They would STILL have seperate "but equal" schools, in the name of "accommodation" for their language.
In MY opinion, current American society is the world's best (or at least in the top tier) for assimilating people of other cultures. Europe has utterly failed. So I think that exactly what we're doing is what we need to keep doing, and I wouldn't fuck with anything about language law.
But still. I think you missed the crux of the comment entirely. I think he was barking up exactly the right tree, though I think if he reflected more on the fact that E Pluribus Unum has been remarkably successful over the past 220 years, he wouldn't be wanting to fix what ain't broke.
yeah, this is retarded. plus all the people that had to take 3 years of a foreign language to get a Bachelor's Degree (who can't find jobs) will be pissed.
See, John, what I'm saying is, your beliefs are charming but you're completely wrong on the historical facts. You don't actually know how assimilation works.
I agree. The whole official language thing is just symbolic grandstanding.
Fnarf has it -- first gen Americans with immigrant parents will speak English perfectly. So everything's going to be fine. It always is. We've had wave after wave of immigrants in this country and hey, we're mostly still speaking English.
Tho' I will say that every know and then I encounter an immigrant who's been in the country for DECADES and barely speaks English. That sometimes initially strikes me as lazy. I think it's in their own interest to learn at least a little English. But then it occurs to me that it's usually older folks and it's tough for older folks - especially uneducated ones - to pick up another language.
"every know and then".... ha ha
i can't write English MYSELF!!!
Chris Hitchens told a funny story last night at Town Hall. Seems the 'lady governor of Texas' was asked whether the bible should be taught in english and spanish and responded "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me." It got a pretty good laugh, but I'm a little suspicious that he didn't name the responsible party.
that thing where german lost by one vote as an official language? never happened. but it certainly is a myth that never dies.
I think that English should be the official language out of the principle of E Pluribus Unum.
You sure that caller wasn't Josh Feit with one of his classic jokes, ala Tommy?
Um, yeah, New Braunfels is cool and Schlitterbahn is totally the best waterpark in the US, but no one there speaks German... Central Texas was largely populated by German immigrants in the mid- to late-1800's, but that doesn't mean their descendants still speak German.
Countries that have an official language (more than one depending on the region) still have a tremendous work force based on illegal immigration. The ability to exploit these people does rest on a large part to their inability to communicate effectively, among other more complex factors. The point this post is making is that there will be no significant impact on the functioning of the state by changing the official language of the US to english. It will only make Americans look rather imperialist and xenophobic, highlighting what many people already think about the US as it is.
I've heard the same story told about a member of the Washington legislature as well, but I can assure you it wasn't Ann Richards who said that.
You got it. Here's Snopes on the subject: http://www.snopes.com/language/apocryph/german.htm
Not only is the idea of an "official language" bigotted, it's completely unnecessary.
Second generation immigrants will inevitably speak English for numerous reasons, most importantly because it's in their economic interest. In Raban's Hunting Mr. Heartbreak, he describes smart and competent Korean immigrants who suddenly find themselves completely dependent on their English speaking kids to run their businesses. I once bought a watch in Little Saigon - the mom started her awkward, difficult to understand sales pitch, only to have her American-born teenage daughter roll her eyes and step in to close the close the transaction in her native tongue - English.
@16: I was going to say the same thing - there's no way it was Ann Richards. CH will spit on a grave (he repeated his 'if you gave Falwell an enema, you could bury him in a shoebox' joke), but no way I'm going to believe Richards said anything that ridiculously ignorant without a video clip of it.
The question I came away with last night is why a former Iraq war hawk is now out taunting Christians and Sean Hannity (I wouldn't have been there but for the Hitchens/Hannity dustup). With the Republican party so corrupted that they have almost no issues left, I'm suspicious that someone's out feeding the 'war on Christians' fire with such fervor. He's an admitted materialist, but a 6 month tour of the south debating ministers, when's the other shoe going to fall?
As an aside, while it's fashionable (and fun!) to attribute American's inability to speak multiple languages to xenophobia and laziness, that's not entirely fair.
After living in Heidelberg as a teen, I came back to the US fluent in German. Not anymore. Our geographic isolation made it way too expensive for me to practice on a regular basis.
Tho' I will say that every know and then I encounter an immigrant who's been in the country for DECADES and barely speaks English.
Immigrants who don't speak English and whose families don't speak English usually join communities of immigrants. That's why in some large cities gas station owners are all Pakistani, laundromat owners are all Korean, convenience store owners are Indian, Somalians are all taxi drivers, etc. The only resources they have are within their own language group and one of them, long ago, figured out how to run a gas station, hired other Pakistanis (the only people she knew and trusted), and it spread from there.
That's why it's very important for public schools to all teach English, at least. It's hard to solve the problem of ghettoizing first-generation immigrants, but making it easy for their children to learn English makes it so their entire race isn't isolated (by language, anyway).
there is no getting around the fact that many people support english as the official language because they are xenophobic, or racist, or whatever.
that does not, however, mean that the concept of an official language is a bad idea. for practical reasons, and for the benefit of exploited workers, it is not a bad idea.
i think it would need to be implemened over time. i'd say over a 20 year period. in addition, i would mandate that americans should speak two languages fluently (and, as i've said before, i do not mean two years of high school spanish "fluent").
on a side note: the history of how english came to be the majority language (when true or a repeated myth) has nothing to do with whether or not it should be the official language. IF it were true that german was one vote away -- what difference would that make? why do people even think that story would prove anything?
@19 Maybe she said it as a joke?
One of my favorite stories of Texas politics is from Molly Ivins. When an effort to repeal Texas' sodomy law failed, two good old-boys in the legislature were slapping each other on the back, congratulating themselves for having turned back the gay horde. Richards walked up to them and said, "I wouldn't do that boys, because it Texas it's still illegal for an asshole to touch a prick."
God I miss Ann and Molly.
About that name, Gitai... wouldn't "George " be a bit easier to pronounce?
@6 Not just Canada. India has 17 official languages and another 43 that are widely used. Chinese is a bit of a misnomer, since there are a dozen widely spoken dialects. Hochdeutsch is the common and unifying language of Germany, but you ain't gonna hear it day to day in Bavaria, or really, anywhere outside a conference. Indigenous languages are still strong throughout Latin America, and Evo Morales grew up speaking Quechua. Indonesia has dozens of languages and dialects, but relies of Bahasa Indonesia as a common and unifying language. I had a fine time watching American PBS shows in Dublin translated into Irish. Scottish Gaelic is doing quite well, thank you, and Welsh is growing strong. In Israel, signs are in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and English, and one of my happiest memories of Jerusalem is the time I and some Arab kids helped a confused tourist find his way to the Jaffa Gate. The Arab kids spoke to each other in Arabic and to me in Hebrew, and I spoke to the tourist in English.
Just about every African country has a couple languages commonly spoken, and Maori is growing again in New Zealand. This one always tickles me, but not only are there dozens of languages in Papua-New Guinea, there are dozens of language families.
And finally, America has never been as monolingual as you'd think.
But you do make a good point about linguistic assimilation. The number of Spanish language theaters in California is collapsing.
What we need in this county is MORE undereducated older immigrants who can't assimilate into the dominant culture.
I like their dance and neato textiles. Not to mention the fact that it makes me feel morally superior to call others racists for not embracing the new reallignment of our entire culture and society under the guise of tolerance and diversity. I love me some good ole' self rightous indignation.
Anyone else here a "Global Citizen"?
@24 I tell everyone, "Think guitar plus Thai food, and you'll never forget my name." It works every time.
I am with you 100%.
I can only hope the one day we are on par with Indonesia and Africa. Looks to be a good day when a man can walk down the street and see beheadings, people being burned alive, raw sewage in the streets, the effects of uncontrolled disease, and my all time favorite female circumcision.
Truly, civilization is marching forward.
There is a Canadian joke that their national motto since the 70s has been, E Pluribus.
Fuck you, brown people! Your languages are stupid. USA! USA!Just as a point of order, there are actually more brown English speakers across the globe than there are white ones. In fact, one of the largest polyglot countries on the planet, India, has English as an official language and has resisted repeated attempts to phase it out in favor of Hindi. The Indian constitution requires the authoritative text of federal laws and all proceedings in their Supreme Court to be in English. None of this is to say that the English Only movement in the U.S. is a good thing-- I dont believe it is --but its important to recognize that statutory requirements for fluency in a lingua franca have a basic utility beyond nationalism or racial prejudice.
But shove your official language bullshit up your ass, and learn a second language.I speak two other languages besides English, but neither of them is Spanish so they dont do me much good.
Let's not forget, in additon to ESL, there is also the need to learn American (Imperial) measurements. Learning that a pound of flour is not the same thing as a kilogram of flour, not too mention being able to read the label on the flour bag is just the reality of living in America.
But I like the symbolism behind NOT having an official langauage... it makes the country feel inclusive of all the world's cultures, even if it doesn't match up to the reality.
@27 Yeah, but, but... it's not English! Think of the children.
Another perspective on this was brought to my attention by a Bulgarian friend. He thought it was absurd that so much consideration, time and money was given to the popular languages. He had to do the best he could on his own, when he came over here at the beginning of high school, and did just fine. Maybe it's an inevitable result of democracy, that the larger minorities get taken care of more, but it's something to think about.
Ok. I'm finding the New Braunfels thing a little crazy too. I'm sitting about 10 minutes away in San Marcos, TX. Someone please save me.
Well, the reason that English is the official language in India is because, ironically, the language of their former colonizer is the least controversial language to use at this point. South Indians don't speak Hindi, they speak Tamil, and will fight any attempt to learn Hindi.
North Indians don't speak Tamil. And have no desire to learn.
Hence, English.
I am going to rip off a comment that I saw on another blog:
"This continent has been brown for thousands of years. A couple hundred years of white control in the USA is hard to let go of, if you're white..."
And I agree that our culture is what creates the mass influx of immigrants. We are a nation built on immigrants. They will keep coming because our economy is based (and has always been based!) on cheap labor.
I second or third or whatever the statement that the idea of an official language isn't racist. The push for an official language now that the country is teeming with Spanish speakers is racist.
I'm not certain that the U.S.'s geographic isolation entirely accounts for Americans' inability to learn other languages. The English don't seem to be much better at it, especially taking into account their superior public education system. I'm no linguist, but I would be really interested to find out if there's a linguistic or historical explanation for the dominance of English as a language.
"If they spoke fluent English, they wouldnt be confined to the bottom of the economic ladder, doing the shit jobs American citizens consider ourselves too good for, or at least too good for at the wages employers are offering. (I personally would be happy to change sheets in a hotelfor $25/hr)."
Actually, there are Americans who want those low paying jobs. The problem is that employers WANT undocumented workers bc if the workers are undocumented they have few LEGAL rights. An employer doesn't have to worry about an undocumented worker asserting his or her legal rights. Don't be fooled, it is not about Americans refusing to work for low wages! Employers PREFER workers are scared to report work place violations.
keshmeshi @37:
I've heard many times from multi-lingual people that English is the easiest language to learn.
For starters, English doesn't arbitrarily assign a gender to every noun.
@28 At least in South Africa, descrimination against gays and lesbians is prohibited in their constitution.
@40 So what? You care to perhaps enlighten us on some of the more interesting and recent developments on racial relationships in South Africa? Or do those contradict your implication that SA is a haven of acceptance and "diversity".
How about those progressive thinkers on the rest of the continent? According to YOUR analogy, the fact that many languages are spoken in Africa is somehow an indication on the level of tolerance or some crap. Pure eurocentric typical knee jerk leftist drivil.
I don't think I've heard anyone claim -- in this thread or any other -- that the high number of language diversity in Africa is indicative of tolerance. If anything, it's indicative of the sheer number of separate ethnicities, cultures and societies on that continent; groups that historically haven't gotten along all that well.
"groups that historically haven't gotten along all that well"
And still don't, and often time language is the culprit.
This crap about how "if only americans were more multicultural and multilingual, we would be a better, more tolerant place" is just typical faux liberal white guilt.

Then there is the errant paperboy whose toss misses the bushes and instead falls into Devon Lee's ample cleavage.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Basically, neither band presents material that would allow them to be mentioned among certain first tier Grindcore bands, but it is good enough to bring them to an overcrowded second tier. While probably not the result they were looking for, it's still not an entirely bad thing. The Grind enthusiasts will be sure to check it out, because there is something worthwhile about the split, the songs are still solid, but it takes something more than solid song writing to get to the next tier.
In terms of this particular 'battle' SPLATTERHOUSE comes out a bit over GRUESOME STUFF RELISH, with a style coming off as a "Slaughtercult" era EXHUMED. GRUESOME STUFF RELISH, while still not bad, are worse than they were the first time I encountered them, on the "Split Your Guts" three way split. Hopefully this is just a minor glitch and they'll shape up for their next release.
So basically, it's just under 20 minutes of good Grind. Nothing essential, but it'd make for a good 'what the hell, why not' purchase. (Online January 27, 2004)

Your home is an expression of who you are, so whether you're tidy or sloppy, a minimalist or collector, fashion conscious or not, your intimate space reflects your personality.
Experience the aesthetics of decorating and domesticity during an exhibition at SculptureCenter in Long Island City, from April 22 through July 22. Viewing retro/contemporary conceptual works, created by a select group of visionary artists with fresh perspectives on interior design, visitors will be introduced to new and exciting art forms.
The works on display will also supply creative new answers to the age-old question: What makes a home a home?
"I am really excited to see what people take away from the exhibition, as a lot of the artists are posing significant questions about the construction of the contemporary household," said Ruba Katrib, curator of the SculptureCenter.
Progressive works encompass homemaking concepts and such – in modernity vs. 19th and 20th centuries – exploring the evolution of the home, along with changing ideas of family, identity, décor trends, and even politics, while examining the impact of mass market influences on consumers' decorating and lifestyle choices.
The exhibition will include several artists' works grouped around a variety of themes. German-born artist Kirsten Pieroth's "Notions of legacy and heritage" looks at how using simple materials that refer to valuable family heirlooms, such as Fabergé eggs and crystal glassware, symbolize domesticity and familial bonds.
In "Portraits of intimate spaces," Japanese artist Yuki Kimura's black and white prints displayed on freestanding panel structures explore the beauty of minimalism.
Modernist architecture in Brazil and class structures from the servants' perspectives, are the focus of a film by Tamar Guimarães and examine the schism between a 1950s "hedonistic" home and those who care for it.
Design magic happens when out-of-the-box ideas join forces with innovative style elements.
Throughout the three-month run of the show, the SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves St., plans to hold public programs to complement the works.
On Wednesday, May 8; as part of the SC Evenings, visitors can get a peek at the accompanying guidebook with the "Better Homes" publication launch. Then, on July 2, Penny Sparke, a professor of design history at Kingston University, London, will take part in a conservation on home design. Her books include The Modern Interior (2008) and Elsie de Wolfe: The Birth of Modern Decoration (2005).

We have developed a modulation phase-shift (MPS) system for measuring relative group delay (RGD) in optical components with high absolute accuracy and simultaneously high temporal and wavelength resolution. Our 200-MHz system has a 3.2-pm wavelength resolution and has demonstrated a group-delay resolution of 0.072 ps for repeated measurements of an artifact based on a hydrogen-cyanide gas cell. The expanded uncertainty (2σ) is ±0.46 ps for a single spectral measurement (∼ 3.4-pm steps) of a narrow 20-ps group-delay feature of the artifact. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the sources of measurement uncertainty for this technique have been described and quantified. A method for predicting the group delay of the gas-cell artifact from measured absorption spectra is described, and an uncertainty analysis for the prediction method is also presented. The implementation required to achieve results of the highest accuracy for both measurements and predictions is discussed.

New Delhi: In a big jolt to Jagdish Tytler, a Delhi court on Wednesday ordered reopening of a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case against him, setting aside a CBI closure report giving clean chit to the Congress leader.
The CBI was directed to examine eye-witnesses and people claiming to have information about the riots.
Additional Sessions Judge Anuradha Shukla Bhardwaj set aside the order of a magisterial court which accepted CBI's closure report giving a clean chit to Tytler.
"The order of the trial court accepting the closure report is set aside. CBI is directed to conduct the investigation and examine the claimants/eye witnesses in the case," the judge directed.

Purchased them 1st in black. Loved the feel, the comfort, ball pockets & more. Great to play tennis as well as everyday wear.
warm up bottom
This is a great warm up. Together with its matching top, this warm up will last for more than a few cold weather seasons. The fit and feel are really worth the price.
Nike woven pants
I'm 5'2" 110lb. The size small was big and long. The silver color was not attractive. I liked the zippered pant legs b/c it usually helps if the pants are a bit too long.
Great Pant
Very Comfortable! Bought them to wear while coaching.

Fit is perfect. Roomy enough to wear over tennis shorts, but not baggy. Fabric is just right for action sport.

PALATKA -- St. Augustine may not be perfect this season, but it is set up nicely to defend its state title.
With Friday's 34-21 victory over Palatka, the Yellow Jackets (8-1) locked up their third straight district championship and sixth in the past seven years.
That means the 2005 Class 3A champs will begin their campaign for a repeat on their home field.
"Our thing is, once you get into the playoffs, you take it one game at a time," SAHS coach Joey Wiles said. "Your greatest chance is to play them at home, and we assured that."
It didn't come without a lot of resistance from Palatka (5-4), which recovered from a 1-3 start to become a playoff team.
The Panthers scored on all three of their first-half possessions, getting touchdowns on two 80-yard drives and a 57-yard drive.
That left SAHS trailing 21-7 at halftime and in serious danger of losing its first district game since 2003 -- to Palatka.
But everything was different in the second half, starting with the look of the SAHS offense.
Wiles moved Kawaun Jakes to quarterback and regular QB Quinterrance Cooper to wide receiver, something the Jackets did earlier this year in a win over Oviedo.
It didn't lead to a touchdown right away as Jakes threw an interception down to the Palatka 4-yard line on the Jackets' first possession of the second half.
But the SAHS managed its first stop of the game deep in Panthers' territory, and the Jackets were in complete control the rest of the way.
A low punt by Dominic Piscitello was fielded by Kevis Streeter at the 48 yard-line, and he returned it 40 yards inside the Palatka 10.
Two plays later, Cardale Brown was in the end zone, and the Jackets trailed just 21-14 with 7:08 left in the third quarter.
"That punt return was huge," Wiles said.
Streeter, who led the Jackets with 105 yards on just six carries, said it the turning point in the game.
"It changed the momentum," he said. "We had to make a big play."
Nearly all the big plays were made by SAHS after halftime, a lot of them by Streeter.
After recovering a Palatka fumble with three minutes left in the third quarter, Streeter helped the Jackets cash in when he took a short pass from Jakes and turned it into a 13-yard scoring play that tied the game.
Less than two minutes later, Streeter was running across the goal line again. His 51-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter put the Jackets on top for good, 27-21.
Palatka had one more threat, driving the ball from their own 12 all the way to the SAHS 18 with five minutes left in the game.
But SAHS stopped Tyshawn Anderson for no gain on a fourth-and-4 play.
Anderson, who's playing with a torn knee ligament, ran 30 times for 115 yards, but he had just 37 yards on 14 carries in the second half.
"I think our defensive guys were really shocked that Palatka drove it 80 yards (in the first half) and were really pressing," Wiles said.
"We went in at halftime and told them just to play their responsibility. The kids just played hard in the second half."
Rai-shawn Wilson (eight carries, 80 yards) took advantage of the defensive stand and put the game away with a 33-yard touchdown run at the 1:40 mark.
With a two-touchdown lead, the Jackets could start thinking about another playoff run.
"It was a real big win," said Cooper, who ran for a score and caught two passes for 36 yards. "I'm really speechless. They knew what was at stake, and we knew what was at stake."

10 Myths About Women and Cycling
The folks over at Momentum Magazine put together an infographic summing up the findings of Women on a Roll, a project connected with the League of American Bicyclists and the Women Bike Program.
Download a large and printable PDF of the infographic here: 10 Myths About Women & Cycling
Comments (1)
Myths? These sound more like sexist over-generalizations that someone made up just to say it isn't happening. I never heard anyone ever say that women don't like bikes. What I'd really like to see is a push for women to be more aggressive on bicycles both on the track and the road.

Rice cereal in bottles...
<3 hearts for Carter <3
I put 1-2 scoops of oatmeal. Not that much...I have seen bottles that look like smoothies. A friend of mine told me about these feeders to put food in and the baby sucks it up like a bottle. I can not find them anywhere.
Blessed March 26, 2011!!! Blessed again December 12, 2012 :)
Wow that is big...
Oh, and I use the milk scoopers.
Blessed March 26, 2011!!! Blessed again December 12, 2012 :)
I really don't think that that is the way to go about getting her used to solids and I really don't think there is a reason to push it either. Maybe just feed her once a day for a minute or two and she will get used to it that way and mix some formula in with the cereal so that it tastes the same.
<3 hearts for Carter <3
It's not recommended to put cereal into bottles because it can be a choking hazard.
If your LO isn't ready, that's okay. It's really not that necessary right now anyways. Just keep offering and eventually your LO will accept it.
Try mixing with a LOT of formula/BM and offering in an open cup or on a spoon. The milk will make it familiar tasting.
<3 hearts for Carter <3
Blessed mama of 2 beautiful girls!
My son has severe reflux so we have been putting rice in his bottle since 4 weeks. We were able to use the standard nipples with the rice. We recently switched to oatmeal because the rice was not thick enough - he drinks 6 oz and we put 6 teaspoons of cereal - so now we need the Y-Cut nipples. He's adapted just fine :)
If your still breastfeeding mix breastmilk in with the cereal, and do you have a pump? Do you know how much milk she's getting from nursing? Maybe find a lactation consultant.

Is there a software that you can recommend that lets you doodle or add annotation in screenshot?
I need to be productive to my web-developer if I'm doing some instruction or comment on his websites. Example, I print-screen his website from internet Explorer and I neeed to add some comment, some arrows or highlights etc. So it would be much easier for me to give instruction or elaborate.
Is there a software you can recommend? I would go for Photoshop because It just make a simple job complicated. I need a software that is more catered in that job.
I'm running on Windows 7. I usually do print-screen on Chrome, Mozilla and Internet Explorer.


text: We stayed here for 4 days in April. Tony upgraded us to the beautiful suite. The decor in the suite is wonderful, from the furnishings to the gorgeous leaded doors opening into the bedroom. Yes, there are a few 'niceties' that could be added and are usually provided at most inns and B&B's: a hairdryer, some nicer bath soap, maybe some lotion and shampoo. The kitchen was well equipped with glassware, toaster, large fridge and cook stove, however we would have loved a blender for making fruit smoothies and drinks. Very quiet at night, but the bed had one of those thick foam pads which proved to be too soft and warm for us, so we took it off completely the 2nd night. However some people that like a soft cushy bed might really like it. Otherwise we slept soundly. The upstairs top deck is great for afternoon lounging and reading and looking over the city. Close to everything, great art galleries nearby and a great restaurant on site. PLUS, really reasonable prices and free Internet.

Reviews for AIR CALVARY
We have been a donor to AIR Calvary for more than 3 years. We were attracted to them because of their dedication to get involved when there has been a tragic happening anywhere in the world. They provide air services to those in dire need. This is our desire as well and AIR CALVARY provides us a way to help people that in many cases have no other way out of their situation.

Was your donation impactful?
How likely is it that you would recommend that a friend donate to this group?
How likely are you to donate to this group again?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Air Calvary is one of the few organizations I have been involved with that puts the mission ahead of its own interests. They Prize service to others above all else. I have been involved in emergency response for over 25 years. it is very rare to run into a group of individuals that are as dedicated as those of Air Calvary.

Hired by a company as a marketer. Once company had all my contacts they terminated me. They will benefit from my short term employment and I will not receive bonus as a result of termination.
Employment / Labor Attorney
The term employment is a factor considered by the court in determining the enforceability of a non compete agreement. You should consult with an attorney for a more detailed analysis of the enforceability of the agreement.
Employment / Labor Attorney
You need to immediately file for unemployment compensatin if you have not already done so. If you believe and have evidence that they hired you just to get your contacts, you may have other potential claims. You may also have a claim for your bonus. You should consult with an employment law attorney.

This type of situation could be considered fraud in the inducement, which might be a defense to enforceability. You might also have some potential claims against the employer if they truly hired you just to take your contacts. However, Florida courts tend to be pretty harsh in enforcing noncompete agreements. I'd suggest contacting an employment lawyer to review your contract with you and discuss your options.

I'm trying to set up a theme where 'featured images' are really important to the look.
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to set the featured image.
I can see the 'set featured image' link bottom-right in the dashboard, but when I click it opens up the usual dialogue box for adding an image into the post, but doesn't include a 'set as featured image' link. So it only adds the image to the post as a regular image, not featured image.
this is really frustrating - I've tried using the twentyten theme, but same problem.
Any suggestions?

Damn Pizza Hut
Posted in the Portland Forum
"Let's all play nice!"
Since: Jul 10
#1 Jul 18, 2010
I have a current pizza hut offer that I received in the mail. The coupons on it don't expire till 7-31-10. But the "Any pizza, any size, any crust, any toppings for $10 " does not have an expiration date. Our wonderful local pizza hut has participated in this deal up until now. Called to order a pizza tonight and I am told that the offer has changed. The deal only covers up to three toppings. Funny the deal is still ongoing at other locations. Our pizza hut has apparently decided that honoring their advertisements is putting too much of a pinch on their pockets. Sorry pizza hut, you just lost. I may be just one customer lost for you, but I am also one customer gained for another pizza joint. Hope you keep treating your customers this way, I am sure Papa Johns and Little Caesars will enjoy the business. Sorry for the rant, just pissed.
#2 Jul 20, 2010
I know what u mean. I hate when they do crap like that!!!! Tone pizza hut in Franklin KY did the same thing to me. How can they advertize something but then not all Pizza Huts have to do it?! Like Pizza Hut in Portland lets u get the cheese in the crust for no extra change on that "any way u want it" but Franklin's charges u.... that's not fair. I dont go to pizza hut hardly anymore either. I have changed to Dominos. Their new pizza's are Awesome and CHEAP!! Large on Monday nights are like $4.99!!! Cant beat that

Little Caesars has a one topping large for $3.99 every last Tuesday of the month. All these other pizza joints are trying to get our business while pizza hut is trying to chase our business away. Papa Johns doesn't have good deals that often, but I have never been let down by the food. I don't mind paying for something that is well worth it.

our pizza hut in scottsville still has the $10 pizza deal. as many toppings as you want. you can even get like a meatlover or super supreme with extra EVERYTHING
#5 Aug 15, 2010
its a deal and it says participating locations as in they can do it or not quit bitching wow its 12 now instead of 10 they redid there menu prices
#7 Jul 10, 2012
Okay. Whoever you talked to didn't explain it well enough obviously. I've worked there for almost 3 years now and I remember this issue. If you had looked on the coupon it would have said participating locations. BECAUSE Pizza Hut is part Corporate and part Franchise. We happen to be Franchise. So, if our owners say to stop we have to. Whether or not it's still going on at other stores or not. Like the P'zolos. Other stores still continue to sell them, but we stopped Saturday. Also, if you had called and asked to speak with a manager, they would have said we would honor it. As long as you have a valid coupon we honor it. If you ever have any more questions my name is Ashley and just give us a call and I will be happy to answer them. And if I am not there, or I don't know an answer, a manager is never hard to find. :)

Two titled players who are much stronger than any of the rest of us post on this thread, offering useful advice, and all some people do is argue which one of the two is stronger? It might be an idea to listen to them instead.
The dragon is not only dubious, it is down right dangerous due to it's fire breathing capabilities, plus they are notoriously hard to train and keep loyal.I had one once but sold it after it ate my dog and the neighbour.
Karpov's loss to Korchnoi was in a 1971 training match. He got his revenge in 1974 in the Candidates and I don't think Korchnoi played against Karpov again.
he did, he played 2 wcc with karpov
I think he means the Korchnoi didn't play the Dragon against Karpov again.
I never play the Dragon. Everything is booked.
It's not dubious,its just risky
