"February is dental awareness month! Have you checked you fuzzy little friend's dental health lately? Well if not then now is the time to do it. Poor dental hygiene can lead to other secondary health problems so make sure to keep your pets teeth clean by either brushing, treats designed for cleaning or by bringing your pet in for a dental check-up. Call the Cat Hospital of Brampton to see what we can do for you!!" – Dr. Kendra Long
"Caring for a cat brings many years of unconditional companionship and joy to our lives. Choosing the right cat for your home is essential to avoid behavioral problems that can make for a rocky relationship with your pet. Whether to adopt a kitten or an adult cat, take in a stray, select a male or a female, or have more than one cat are just a couple of the important questions to ask before making a decision that will last 15 to 20 years." – Dr. Kendra Long
"Welcome to The Cat Hospital of Brampton. We are a cat-only, veterinary hospital located in north west Brampton, Ontario. Our goal is to provide your feisty feline friend with check ups, tailored vaccines, blood analysis, X-rays, nutritional consults, behavioral consults, spays, neuters and dental surgery. We even have cat boarding in one of our condos! Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you !" – Dr. Kendra Long

When my little guy Geddy got urinary problems I was worried. However, Dr. Long and Nicolo cleared up the problem and were very helpful answering all of my questions and giving me all of the information I needed to help keep Geddy healthy. They are reasonably priced and I recommend them to anyone looking for a cat vet.
My mother and I had a great experience at the Cat Hospital. They were very nice and taught us how to take care of my cat Kira. The vet showed me how to cut her nails and how much to feed Kira. It was a very different the from the other place where I took my pet Kira. I recommend the Cat Hospital of Brampton for all cat lovers.
Ticana -
I love the cat hospital such nice people that works there. My cats where well taken care of and very well prices. I would remmond other people to go there :).
I love the free parking ! 🙂
We were visiting from Alberta and our cat got a skin irritation from some medicine she was prescribed by our Vet at home. Dr. Long at The Cat Hospital did a great job in finding the problem and we felt our cat was in good hands. We would strongly recommend this facility to all cat owners.
After a reoccurrence of a malignant growth on Thumper's ear, which our previous vet failed to clear up and did not fully inform us, we took her to Dr. Long who was very kind, informative and helpful. It has been three months since Thumper's surgery, and she seems to have recovered fully. We are very pleased with the Cat Hospital of Brampton and would not hesitate to recommend it.
Thumper, on the other hand, would have preferred it if Dr. Long would make house calls so she would not have to ride in the car.
Just had to take a minute to extend a Huge Thank you to all of the staff at this clinic. My cat was taken care of extremely well, and they quickly answered all of my questions. Hearing of high vet costs I was a bit worried untill she provided the pricing. Extremely affordable, plus service that goes above and beyond. I look forward to my follow up visit and coming back for routine check ups for years to come. Thank you so much for handling my Gizmo with such love. She was back to her self so quickly I think I am still in shock. There is no where else I would go after this experience. Thank you again, my kitty's weekend as well as my own will be much better now. 🙂
This is a great clinic! Friendly, caring, personal for cats and owners! We love it there!

I had a wonderful experience at the Cat Hospital. It is the best veterinary hospital in Ontario. (Especially for emergencies!) Dr. Long knows her stuff and truly cares about the cats. I recommend this hospital to all cat owners.
I have a beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat named Pearl. I had always had problems with matts. Unfortunately, over the past year, chemotherapy has sucked the life out of me and the matting got out of hand and severe. I took her to the Brampton Cat Hospital to be shaved down. Two thumbs up for the staff. They did a beautiful job on her, very professional, not a nick or scratch on her. She has a cute "lion cut" and is so much more comfortable. I have two other cats and should the need arise I won't hesitate to bring them there. Thank you to the caring staff at the Brampton Cat Hospital, Lindsay.
The Staff was Knowledgeable and friendly, They clearly seems more concerned about helping my Kitty Meowzer recover rather then just a payed job.
Thank you so much!

In Win GreenMe 650W
by Martin Kaffei on June 6, 2012 5:10 AM EST- Posted in
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
- In-Win
- GreenME
Appearance and Cable Configuration
The white finish is pretty uncommon these days, and the red In Win logo adds a nice touch. The fan grille and ventilation holes at the back correspond to what we are used to see. There is a small power switch beside the AC inlet. At 140mm in length, this is a very small case and will work well in smaller enclosures.
Cables and Connectors | ||
Connector type (length) |
Main | 1x 24-pin (45cm) fixed |
ATX12V/EPS12V | 1x 4+4-pin (50cm) fixed | |
PCIe | 1x 6/8-pin (50cm) fixed, 1x 6/8-pin (50cm) fixed | |
Peripheral |
3x SATA (ca. 50, 65, 80cm) fixed 3x SATA (ca. 50, 65, 80cm) fixed |
3x Molex, 1x FDD (ca. 50, 65, 80, 95cm) fixed |
All cables are fixed and there is even more bad news: Some cables are quite short and the number of HDD plugs is pretty unsatisfying as well. In addition six SATA connectors on two cables is just so-so for a 650W PSU. We'd like to see eight plugs here. Anyway, the cable sleeving is upscale and all peripheral harnesses reach 80cm length or more. Moreover even a low number of peripheral connectors should be enough to support most common PCs. Only for SLI and CrossFire setups with high-end graphics cards customers will need more PCIe connectors.

Defending Her Turf
Loretta Lynn shamelessly stoked the embers of her own celebrity when she told enthusiastic fans at Town Hall last week that before she returned to performing recently, she'd spent five years at home with her ailing husband. That surprised me not because of her notorious "thankless marriage" to Oliver Lynn, but because Loretta has always worked. A mother at 14, Lynn skipped adolescence and went straight to parenthood, then the stage. A teenage fan of Kitty Wells, who first defended bad girls in 1952 with "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," Loretta celebrated them eight years later with her own "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl." That tune set her vocal style: scouting ahead of the instruments, she doesn't just sing a song, she goes looking for it. Savoring the "n" in "done" against the roof of her mouth in the opening line, "Ever since you left I've done nothing but wrong," she discovers the last three words as if they were the prize in her Cracker Jacks. Our liberation would not be far away from this moment: women became subjects instead of objects in country music, largely through Lynn's influence.
Loretta took a look at the gay and straight, graying crowd assembled at Town Hall and chucked her playlist after the second number. A consummate performer, she made us feel as if it was our idea that she play New York City for the first time in 15 years. "You paid for the tickets I'll sing whatever you want," she ordered. We got "Fist City," "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man," "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" Loretta's defenses of a woman's right to sexual pleasure, birth control, and the connection between the two. There was something both quaint and surreal about Loretta puffing out her wedding-cake-white, floor-length gown to appear pregnant for the Shel Silverstein gem "One's on the Way." Her sense of humor saves the song from parody, as does her insider knowledge of the chronically unfinished business that is the mental state of young motherhood: she'd had four children (and two miscarriages) by the time she was 18.
With "The Pill," Lynn wrote the last word on that subject. Even though many radio stations refused it airplay, Lynn never backed off from this raucous indictment. "You've set this chicken your last time/Cause now I've got the Pill." I wondered if she ever knew how close we prochoice feminists, with our "Women Are Not Brood Mares" T-shirts, came to being alike. Thanks for reminding me, anyway. Georgia Christgau

Pan Sonic's records shade silence with pale buzzes, or rupture it with pinprick clicks. As the noise from their mound of electronic tone generators gushed through Tramps's speakers Saturday night, though, silence never had a chance. Cranked up to volumes at least as tangible as they were audible they seemed to be aiming for the resonant frequency of the room Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen's orderly blurts and crackles of analog-synth noise came off like a beat-friendly jumbo jet. Theoretically, their focus on specific waveforms and overlapping patterns is very close to the driest academic electronic music, but the effect was of grandstanding rock and roll audience members erupted into cheers at a particularly pure sine wave or an especially harsh bit of interference.
As Vainio and Väisänen bobbed their heads over the machines and occasionally gave the knobs a little body English, a guy with a video camera circled them, which suggested that something visually interesting was happening. It wasn't a movie screen showed a black rectangle on a white background being deformed by whatever mechanical coughs and hums were at the top of the mix, and that was it. The immaculately ridiculous new wave shirts on headliners Trans Am were much more fun to look at. Unfortunately, their headset Vocoder crapped out after a few songs from their walloping KraftwerkGary Numan homage Futureworld, and they reverted to their grimmer but equally clinical instrumental power-trio mode, which was a bummer: 1984 always trumps 2112. But the switchover was made to the accompaniment of a hissing, ticking synth piece that sounded like Pan Sonic was haunting the stage's machines, making the raw sludge of digital errors stand up and march. Douglas Wolk
Different Drums
Along with the tulips and cherry blossoms, the drummers have returned to the west side of Prospect Park. Every Sunday through the fall, as many as 200 people will gather near the Oriental Pavilion: players of percussive instruments from throughout the African diaspora, dancing grannies and tots, griots and shouters calling and responding in various languages. Renovations this year to the Drummers' Grove just down the road have forced the company to temporarily relocate; upon reaching their new spot, congregants pulled all available benches into a circle, consecrated the ground with cranberry juice and bottled water and set to drumming. Many are current or former pros, but anyone can play: for $8 Steve Belle will sell you a slingshot with a row of flattened bottle caps wired across the top.
"I've seen all kinds of drums, vibes, guitars, trombones, saxes, flutes, trumpets, even bassoons and French horns," says Abdul Jami, who often plays sax with the drummers, and is a tailor during the week. Henry Byron, who owns the Fall Cafe in Carroll Gardens, brings a dun-dun, the bass drum that sets the beat. The hand drums and shakeres (gourds braided with beads or cowrie shells) work out a groove that may last for 20 minutes or longer. The party has an 8 p.m. curfew but has been known to run all night.
Longtime participant Ellsworth Ausby is planning a Father's Day "tribute to the ancestors" and helped assemble an exhibition inside the Grand Army Plaza arch featuring drums from Nigeria and art by and about the drummers (the show runs through July 5). The circle began 30 years ago as the rehearsal space for Abiodun McCray and some friends. For many, the Sunday gathering is a spiritual event, but McCray, who repairs drums and teaches dance, says, "It's a way of relieving tension from the week past and getting energized for the week ahead."Josh Goldfein

"…Lautner is really still a boy. When I spoke recently with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, it was clear, she sees him this way too. 'He's literally like a puppy,' she says. 'There is a lot of downtime on set. I'd throw food in his mouth. Taylor is like one of those wind-up toys. You put 20 cents in and he runs around, then he crashes. At lunch, he has a Red Bull and he's back up. When I hear him talk about girls it's like, Awww.'
For his 18th birthday, she says, Lautner's parents threw him a surprise party: at a go-kart track. Then everyone ate sandwiches. Out of curiosity, what did Kristen do for her 18th?
'I don't like to make a big deal out of birthdays,' she says. 'But it was more risqué than go-karting.' "

According to The New York Times, the United States Treasury Department will tomorrow give Internet services license to export consumer-aimed services like instant messaging and photo sharing to countries with which trade has previously been restricted, including Iran, Cuba and Sudan.
The United States defines these nations as "closed societies" because their governments sometimes try to restrict the free flow of information between citizens, however in many cases trade is restricted by the United States in response to those actions. This new license would allow U.S.-based Internet companies like Yahoo to export certain services that can be described as "free mass-market software," despite trade sanctions.
The U.S. State Department and members of Congress previously recommended this move to aid efforts to open up the societies in question. The value of exporting these tools has already been established.
Last year, the State Department asked Twitter to postpone its scheduled downtime so Iranian protesters could continue to use the service. Digital communication technologies like Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and SMS text messaging were used by Iranians to organize protests and to get information to the American and European media.
After Google threatened to leave China if the country doesn't ease up its regulation and restrictions on the Internet, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech declaring the administration's commitment to the free flow of information on the Internet. This is one example of that commitment.
We're curious to know how our readers in the United States and elsewhere feel about this move. If you're willing, share your thoughts in the comments, and participate in our poll: "Is the Internet a fundamental right?"

Born in Milton, Ontario, McDuffe was a Chicago Black Hawks prospect. He enjoyed a fine junior career with the St. Catharines Black Hawks and led the OHA with a 2.93 goals against average in 1966-67. During his first pro season, 1968-69, he appeared in 65 games for the Greensboro Generals of the EHL. McDuffe was placed on the EHL South first all-star team and named its top rookie. The next year, he joined the CHL's Omaha Rangers where he led the league with 26 wins and was named to the league's second all-star team. He followed that up with a 2.77 goals against mark in 57 games and was named to the CHL first all-star team and shared the league MVP award with Andre Dupont, Gerry Ouellette, and Joe Zanussi.
In May 1971, the young netminder was acquired by the St. Louis Blues. After starring for most of the year with the WHL's Denver Spurs, he was recalled by the parent club for the last ten games of the season to back up Ernie Wakely and Jacques Caron. He then joined the New York Rangers but was chiefly a farmhand for two seasons.
McDuffe saw plenty of rubber in 1974-75 after he was claimed by the Kansas City Scouts in the Expansion Draft. His playing time was reduced after the club acquired Denis Herron from Pittsburgh so he tried his luck with the Detroit Red Wings. McDuffe spent most of his time with the Wings' AHL affiliate then suited up for 12 games with the WHA's Indianapolis Racers before retiring in 1978.

Perianal abcess after care.09/30/2009 |
I recently had a perianal abcess surgically drained yesterday. The doctor advised to wait 24 hours before changing the bandages. The problem with that is I do not have anyone that can help me with the process.Is it mandatory to re apply bandages to continue healing? How is this done, I was given know instructions about the process and from what I can tell the bandages are just packed into my anus. Is there a certain way this has to be re bandaged?
These are all great questions, but it is important that you ask your surgeon! Some abscess cavities need to be re-packed, some simply covered. Others just need to be soaked. I cannot tell you specifics about your condition, but your surgeon can and should.

Taken Banksy is withdrawn from sale
24 February 2013 Last updated at 06:52 GMT
A Banksy artwork which was taken from a London street and had been listed for auction in the US has been withdrawn from sale, the BBC has learned.
The Banksy mural, depicting a boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting, disappeared from Whymark Avenue earlier this month.
It had been expected to be auctioned in Miami on Saturday but the auction house told the BBC the sale was halted.

Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) president Michael Fennell on Saturday was at a loss to explain why the final list of entries of athletes in most of the disciplines has still not been made public with the Commonwealth Games just eight days away.
Fennell said this could be done only after registering all the athletes at the Delegation Registration Meeting (DRM), but could not explain how the badminton and squash draws have been done.
"We can come out with the entries only after the DRM is complete. It is a lengthy process. Each and every entry is checked and validated carefully and only after that we can make it public," he said at a packed press conference at the swanky Games Main Press Centre in New Delhi.
Fennell, however, denied that CGF has instructed the international federations not to disclose the list of entries.
The DRM began Sep 16 and in the eight days till Thursday, a mere 15 of the participating countries and territories have completed the process. This means that just seven days are left for the remaining 56 participating teams to complete the process latest by Oct 2.
More than 7,000 athletes and officials from 71 nations and territories are competing in the Games.

install early 90's xj tilt column
Had some trouble with stock column.so I got a XJ column from a local bone yard . I was hesitant at first .There where some problems ,but so far it's an improvement over the old.After I removed the stock column I found the base of the YJ column is two piece and removeable . The XJ is welded on and must be cut off , if your careful grind along the weld that holds the base on the column and it can be tapped off with a hammer . Now the YJ column base can be installed loosely on the XJ column .You will also need to swap the upper brackets . Now you can install the XJ column.
The YJ steering shaft will have to be lengthened ,so I cut the bottom off the YJ shaft , cut the top off the XJ shaft. Temporarly install the YJ shaft from the column down and the XJ from the steering box up.then match them up in the middle ,I used tape to mark a good place to cut where the YJ shaft and the XJ shaft can be fitted together accounting for the fact one must fit into the other so you have to leave extra length on both shafts. Remove ,make the cut slip the shafts together you'll have to debur the shafts to let them slide into each other . Then you can install the shaft ,losen the column so you can install the now longer shaft .Then realign the column tighten all the bolts plug in the connecters (they where perfect matches in my case). remove steering wheel and the parts under (this is a good time to remove and re key or replace the key tumbler ) to reclock its position because it will be after the shaft extention it will be slightly out a slight degree. If you need the keys then off to auto zone not that I perfer autozone they where just the only place intown with a lock tumbler in stock and under $51.00 .The unlucky part I ended up with an aftermarket tumbler that the lock shop couldn't rekey. Reinstall all steering wheel parts. Make sure all parts are in connected and tightened you now have a tilt column |

1 year
This morning I was wide awake at 5:30 am. This was not intentional, believe me.
Maybe somewhere in my mind I was too restless to sleep, thinking about this exact
moment in time, exactly 365 days ago. I predicted the very feelings I have right
now, part sadness and longing to go back and experience all of the excitement and
newness of that day. I'd love to go back and savor every moment, to pay careful
attention to details, to smells and sounds. I'd like to go back and take mental, or
actual, snapshots of moments that happened so quickly it's hard now to remember
At the very same time, I feel joy. Joy because I have this sweet, healthy little
boy all to myself today. He's going to wake up babbling and laugh the moment I open
the door to get him. I'm happy because right now I can savor moments and remember the
tiniest, minute details of being 1 year old and I can take mental, and actual,
snapshots of fleeting moments. I'm happy because this innocent child is completely
unaware of the gift he is and that by making me his mom, he's has made me immensely
I could go on and on about our love for you but I would run out of words.
Happy Birthday Israel!
18 comments:
Wow, beautifully said Jenn - those feelings won't change as the years go by - the awe will hit you at random moments when you realize what a beautiful person your son has become. We have a little gift for Israel - I'll give it to your mom when we hook up - i need to give her the jewelry she ordered.
thank you for your comments!

Mali History, Language and Culture
History of Mali
Once one of the great centres of Islamic culture and wealth, Mali owes much of its reputation to its situation as a major trading centre and to the tax that is levied on its trans-Saharan route. The Ghana Empire was the first to rise in the region, expanding throughout West Africa between the 8th and 11th centuries.
The second, the Mali Empire, reached its zenith in the early 14th century. After its decline, the territory became part of the Songhai Empire, which was brought to an end by a Moroccan invasion in 1591. With the decline of the trans-Saharan trading routes in salt, gold and slaves, the area enjoyed little strategic importance and was divided into small kingdoms for the next two centuries until the arrival of French colonists. Mali was absorbed into French West Africa in 1895. In 1960, together with what is now Senegal, it achieved independence as the Federation of Mali, although Senegal seceded after a few weeks.
The first president was Modibo Keita, who severed ties with France and developed strong links with the USSR. In 1968, a military coup overthrew Keita and the coup leader promised a return to civilian rule. This failed to materialise until in 1991, army officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Amadou Toumani Touré, assumed power.
In presidential elections later that year, the leader of the Alliance pour la Démocratie au Mali (ADEMA), Alpha Oumar Konaré, won and dominated Malian politics for the next 10 years. Konaré secured re-election in 1997 but the political environment was far from peaceful during the period of ADEMA rule. The country was beset by strikes, student protests, as well as a revolving door of prime ministers, few of whom lasted more than a year.
In 2002, after a decade in the political wilderness, Touré returned to office. French approval quickly became evident when the bulk of Mali's debt to France was cancelled within months of the election. Touré won elections again in 2007, and democratic institutions continue to strengthen despite a Tuareg rebellion and French military intervention in 2012.

The Clark County Commission in Las Vegas has itself all tangled up in the mother of political correctness -- to allow or not to allow events that feature people roping horses by the legs and then tripping them.
It started with the red-paint animal rights crowd convincing the commission to ban the act.
Then the state Legislature's Hispanic Caucus "expressed disappointment," as the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, because horse tripping/roping is an important feature of a Mexican rodeo. In fact, the Mexican Federation of Charreria USA wants to hold events in Las Vegas.
It's all a bundle of liberal-minded sensitivity that apparently now will be solved by reconsidering the county ordinance against horse tripping and adopting the language of Nevada law that allows the roping of horses' legs and then releasing the rope just before the horse trips and falls. (Please, call it "horse roping" now.)
I am not sure how much sense that makes with purists of the Mexican rodeo sport, but then this isn't about making sense, is it? This is about making people feel good no matter how much Alice-In-Wonderland double-speak the county commission has to engage in to do it.
Let us remember, the Clark County Commission allows the National Finals Rodeo to be held each year in Las Vegas with events that feature all kinds of events that involve people, ropes and falling animals.
But that's a horse of different color.

Hi Aaron,
thank you for SQL Prompt 6.3 with this awesome new feature "Select in Object Explorer". We will love it!
Here are my experiences with 22.214.171.124 (yes, I am aware that this is the first build, so no complaints, just a list of issues I encountered):
CTRL+F12 on tables, procedures, views, even their columns(!) works as expected - if the object resides on the same instance on which the script windows is opened.
CTRL+F12 (or choosing the menu option) on synonyms does nothing.
CTRL+SHIFT+F12 on synonyms correctly jumps to the synonym in Object Explorer.
CTRL+F12 on tables, procedures, views that reside on a different instance as the instance where the script windows is open (e.g. SELECT * FROM Server1.Database.owner.table) is a little bit awkward: SQL Prompt jumps to the Server Objects/Linked Servers/Server1/Catalogs/Database tree branch in Object Explorer rather than selecting the object on its hosting server instance/databse itself. Hence, no further object details are available through linked server view.
Highlighting matching parentheses is great!
I am very looking forward for this new version. Thanks!

Country singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers recently sold his 5,681 square-foot Northeast Georgia estate, which was supposed to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Wednesday, the home that was scheduled to be auctioned sold for $2.25 million in a private sale. Its features include a three-car garage, a 2,675-square foot pool, a lanai with slate floors, numerous covered patios, horse riding trails, an 8-acre lake, and a go-cart track among other amenities.
The interior of the estate includes relaxing warm colors with custom paint, and the walls were topped with substantial crown molding. Of course, the kitchen included top-of-the-line appliances with a glass back splash, custom-glazed cabinets, granite countertops.
Rogers estate design is marble and oak inlaid floors, exquisite cabinets with millwork and custom iron. The living room consists of a 18-foot tray ceilings, a huge limestone fireplace, and cove lighting. There is also an attached guest house equipped with its own exercise studio.
The absolute auction was going to have no reserve or minimum and was selling completely furnished plus a SeaDoo and pontoon boat to sweeten the deal.
According to The Athens Banner-Herald on Tuesday afternoon, the scheduled auction was suddenly called off, which was unfortunate for the potential buyers.

This article does not have any sources. (August 2010) |
This article deals mostly with the United States and do not have a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2012) |
This page is about free-market individualism. Some people (especially in Europe and Latin America) use the word libertarianism to refer to "libertarian socialism" (see anarchism)
Libertarianism is an idea in ethics and politics. The word comes from the word "liberty". Simply put, libertarians believe that people should be able to do whatever they desire as long as their actions do not harm others. As a result, Libertarians want to limit the government's power so people can have as much freedom as possible.
Libertarianism grew out of liberalism as a movement in the 1800s. Many of the beliefs of libertarianism are similar to the beliefs in classical liberalism. It also has roots in anarchism and the Austrian School of economics.
Like other people, libertarians oppose slavery, rape, theft, murder, and all other examples of initiated violence.
Individual rights[change | change source]
Libertarians believe that no person can justly own or control the body of another person, what they call "self-ownership" or "individual sovereignty." In simple words, every person has a right to control her or his own body.
In the 19th century, United States libertarians like William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Lysander Spooner were all abolitionists. Abolitionists were people who wanted to end slavery right away.
Garrison based his opposition to slavery on the idea of self-ownership. Since you have a natural right to control your own body, no one else has any right to steal that control from you. Garrison and Douglass both called slave masters "man stealers."
Stopping violence[change | change source]
If you have a right to control your own body, then no one has a right to start violence (or force) against you.
Some libertarians believe that all violence is unjust. These libertarians are often called "anarcho-pacifists". Robert LeFevre was a libertarian who rejected all violence. However, most libertarians believe that there are some ways violence can be justified.
One thing that justifies violence is self defense. If someone is violent towards you, you have a right to defend yourself with equal force.
The libertarian Murray N. Rothbard said that it would be wrong to kill someone for stealing a pack of gum. If you steal gum, this is an act of violence against the property owner. The owner has a right to use defensive violence to get the gum back, but killing the thief goes too far. That is too much force because it is not equal to the force used by the thief. Punishment must be equal to the crime. A student and colleague of his, Walter Block, said that a punishment shouldn't be equal to the crime, but rather enough to make up for the damage the crime caused plus how much it cost to catch the criminal.
Some libertarians believe that it is your moral duty to defend yourself and your property if you can. This belief is usually held by Objectivists. These people believe that pacifism is immoral. Most libertarians reject this view.
All libertarians believe that it is wrong to start violence against any person or against what he or she owns. They call this the "non-aggression principle."
Property[change | change source]
Ownership is the right to control something. Property is the thing that you control.
Libertarians believe that property rights come from self-ownership. This means that because you have a right to control your own body, you also have a right to control what you make with it.
The English philosopher John Locke said that a person comes to own something by using it. So, if you turn an area that no-one else owns into a farm and use it, that area becomes your property. This is called the "homestead principle."
Libertarians also say that you can become a legitimate owner by receiving something as a gift or by trading it with someone for something they own. You do not become a legitimate owner by stealing. You also do not become a legitimate owner by simply saying you own something. If you have not "homesteaded" the thing or received it through trade or gift, you do not own it.
Government[change | change source]
Libertarians are opposed to states (or governments) creating any "laws" that tell people what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. The only legitimate laws are laws that say a person may not start violence against other people or their legitimate property. All "laws" stopping people from doing nonviolent things should be repealed, according to libertarians. (These "laws" are usually called "victimless crimes" because there is no victim if there is no theft.)
In most countries, the state (or government) takes tax money from the people. All libertarians support cutting taxes back, and some libertarians believe the state should not take tax money at all. Libertarians think people can take care of the poor without the government. They believe that people should pay for the things that they want to use, but not have to pay for other things that they do not want. Tax evasion (refusal to pay taxes to the state) is a victimless crime. Libertarians would prefer to see taxation replaced with lotteries, user fees, and endowments.
Libertarians think everyone should be allowed to decide what is good or bad for her/his own body. Libertarians think if people want to drive cars without wearing seat belts, it is their own choice. They should not be forcibly stopped from doing that, not even by the state. If a person wants to donate all of her/his money to a charity, or waste it all gambling, that is also something she/he should decide for herself/himself. No one should be forcibly stopped from doing that, not even by the state. Libertarians even say that if adults want to use harmful drugs, they should be allowed to do that, even if it spoils their lives. It is the drug user's own choice because it is the drug user's own body. As long as the drug user does not start using violence against other people or their legitimate property, no one should use violence against the drug user or the drug user's legitimate property, not even the government.
Many libertarians also believe that families and friends should look after people so that they will not use drugs, drive without seat belts, or do other things that are dangerous for them. But no one can force others to do things that they do not want to do, or to stop them from doing nonviolent things that they want to do.
Types of Libertarians[change | change source]
There are two basic types of libertarians. All libertarians fall into one of these two broad types.
Minarchism[change | change source]
Minarchists are libertarians who believe that society should have a state with very limited power. They typically believe that the only things the state should have are police and judges to make sure that people obey the laws. Some also believe in having a military to make sure that no one attacks the country. Some minarchists believe in having a small amount of taxation.
Two famous minarchist libertarians are Robert Nozick and Ayn Rand. Nozick believed that the only legitimate thing a state can do is have a police force. He called his legitimate state a "night-watchman state." Rand believed that the state should have a police force and a court system.
Anarchism[change | change source]
Libertarian anarchists usually call themselves anarcho-capitalists, free-market anarchists, individualist anarchists, or just anarchists.
Libertarian anarchists do not believe the state is needed. They believe that people can organise their own lives and businesses. They want to replace the state with voluntary organisations, including charities, private companies, voluntary unions, and mutual aid societies. They also want to end all forced taxation.
They say that state police can be replaced with "DROs" (Dispute Resolution Organisations) or "private protection agencies." They also say that state judges can be replaced with "private arbitration."
The most famous libertarian anarchist was Murray N. Rothbard. Others include Lysander Spooner, Benjamin R. Tucker, and Linda & Morris Tannehill.
Other types[change | change source]
Most libertarians fall under one of the two types of libertarians listed above. But there are other types, too.
- Libertarian constitutionalists are minarchists who believe that the only legitimate things a state can do are those things that have been approved in a constitution. Libertarian constitutionalists include Ron Paul.
- Agorists are revolutionary libertarian anarchists who believe that we should fight the state through what they call "counter-economics." Agorists include Samuel Edward Konkin, III and Brad Spangler.
- Objectivists are minarchists who's philosophy is called Objectivism. Objectivists believe in atheism. They believe that humans are able to know things, as opposed to skepticism, which is the idea that people cannot know things with certainty. They believe reason is the only path to truth, and that it is unethical to follow your emotions or beliefs when making decisions. And they believe that a system of free capitalism is the only ethical system of government. Objectivists include Ayn Rand. (There are also some "anarcho-Objectivists," such as Linda & Morris Tannehill and Roy A. Childs, Jr..)
- Left-libertarians and left-Rothbardians are libertarian anarchists who believe that a free market system will lead to more equality, not less. They are often very open to ideas such as "worker self-management" and feminism. Left-libertarians include Benjamin R. Tucker and Roderick T. Long.
- Anarcho-pacifists are anarchists who believe that no force is ever legitimate, not even in self defence. Although Robert LeFevre did not call himself an "anarcho-pacifist" (or even an "anarchist"), he was one.
- Autarchism is another word for libertarian anarchism. It means "self-rule." Robert LeFevre used this word to describe himself.
- Geolibertarians are a type of minarchist. They believe that the only legitimate thing a state can do is tax, and that the only legitimate tax is a tax on land. This is often called the "single tax."
- Voluntaryism is another term for libertarian anarchism. Voluntaryists believe that only voluntary actions are legitimate. This means that all government force is illegitimate. The first libertarian to call himself a voluntaryist was Auberon Herbert.
- Civil libertarians are people who believe in the preservation of civil liberties, such as free speech. But not all civil libertarians believe you should be allowed to do what you want with the money you earn. All libertarians are civil libertarians, but not all civil libertarians are libertarians.

How good are the Celtics?
Item: Mike Brown might not be able to coach his way out of a paper bag.
Item: Cleveland sports pressure -- and defeatism -- is like it was for Red Sox fans pre-2004, but multiplied across three major sports. And the Cavaliers succumbed to it (again, especially in Game 5).
Unanswered questions for you to address in the comments: Just how good is this Celtics team? And do they have a chance to hang with Orlando?
Your thoughts?

Shhhhh. It's all Cleveland's fault. There is nothing to see behind the curtain.
- Jim Storer said...
Just like the Cleveland series the Celtics need to steal one of the first two games on the road and then it's a series. If Orlando wins them both, they have just enough talent and killer instinct to come into Boston and make it 3-0... an no one ever comes back down 3-0 in a seven game series. Right?

1) LeBron is still the most "talented" player that will ever play basketball... however, I'm not saying that he's "the best." Only titles will merit that moniker. However, LeBron was clearly distracted in this one. I think people underestimated how big the "where do I go next" took his eye off the ball.
2) Mike Brown will get one more shot with another team. He will ultimately fail there too and enjoy a long career as a sportscaster on ESPN/TNT.
3) Yeah, Cleveland takes defeatism to a whole new level. At least Boston had the Celtics (and to a small degree, the Bruins) back in the 60s - 80s. Cleveland... not so much. - 8:45 AM

So now that the Celtics showed they have kryptonite for Superman, I hope they don't let up and really go after winning game 2. Nothing more inspiring than overcoming a wake-up call like that.
