Love at the Round-Up
Twenty-four years ago at the Round-Up, Peter and Lynda Hirst were newlyweds at their first rodeo. They drove Lynda's mom's old car out from Portland holding the fifth gear in place, as Peter remembers, along most of the drive. They honeymooned here because it was a relatively cheap weekend and let Lynda get back to her job on Monday.
Ironically, she was fired upon her return — her boss said her husband could take care of her now! The Round-Up has remained a sweet memory though — they come back every year to celebrate their anniversary.
Here they are doing just that at the Rainbow Cafe!
During the show Peter asked about the Roundup during World War II. His question was inspired by a recent visit to this ranch, which among other things raised cattle to help feed soldiers during the war.

I know I am bound to step on more than a few toes with this post, but here it goes. In the area around where I live and hunt, where the average shot at a deer is 100yds or less, I can't for the life of me understand why SOOO many "hunters", and I use that term loosely, feel that they just absolutely have to have one of the "super calibers" to hunt with. Such as 7mm Mag, 300 WinMag, etc. I admit they have their place, but in places where a .30-06 or .270 could even be considered on the extreme side, what I mean is, where a .30-30 is ample firepower, I use a .308Win my self, the "super calibers", are bordering on unsafe for other hunters. This is just my opinion, and one of my pet peeves.
I'm a hunters safety instructor and when we annually look over the state's list of hunting shooting accidents it always comes down to people taking reckless or just plain stupid shots, not the caliber. Any caliber can be safe or dangerous. It all depends on the nut behind the trigger. It's all about making sure you have a safe line of sight with a backstop which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the caliber. I'm sure at least some of those hunters also hunt in areas or other states where they'll shoot longer range or like a few of my friends that do more shooting at the range than hunting just to see how small of groups they can get at extended ranges. In either case I wouldn't expect them to buy a different rifle when they're hunting in an area where the shots are guaranteed to be close. And if they're not guaranteed to be close, I'm going to bring enough gun to cover the possibilities. I spent the summer making sure I could make any shot out to 300yds with my muzzleloader. Yes, 300yd with a muzzleloader; it's a whole different post and I won't be offended, maybe even more proud of it if you call me a liar that my best 5-shot group at that range was 3-3/4" and 4 of the 5 shots measured 1-5/8". It's not your average muzzleloader either. I knew a 300yd shot would be possible but not probable in the area I was to be hunting. Last week I filled that tag with an 80yd shot. But when I go, I'll always make sure I'm prepared for all possibilities. I'm with you that I can't stand the reckless ones no matter what caiber they're using and I wont hunt during Iowa's shotgun season because of the few bad seeds that recklessly blaze away. In that case, maybe it is about caliber. They don't scare me during archery season. ???
Good luck, stay safe and wear plenty of orange
Luck is preparation meets opportunity
I had the same idea when I put together my two most important rifles, my big-game rifle and my muzzleloader. Do it once and do it right. And I love them both. I don't consider the .270WSM a "super caliber" but my thought when choosing a rifle, caliber and bullet combination is narrow your search to the caliber/bullet (it's not just the caliber) combos that will kill the intended game if the bullet is placed properly, then narrow it to the rifle model, caliber, bullet and scope combo that will make it easiest to place the bullet in the right spot. Bottom line: I hope to hunt many places but they will all be with the same rifle.
Steve, I do like the Savage ML's but when I considered switching to Savage or improving my Knight, Savage didn't make them in stainless. Mine is a stainless Knight Disc Extreme. I've had the bore lapped with poured lead slugs (which was actually very reasonable $40 I think), had it pillar and glass bedded into a laminate thumbhole stock and installed a second mounting screw. Sounds like a lot for a muzzleloader but I loved the gun and had no desire for anything different. Now the bullets push smoothly down the bore and it cleans easier too.

A search engine results page (SERP) is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, et al) in response to a keyword query. Results normally include a list of web pages with titles, one or more hyperlinks, and a short description of web pages you may choose to explore. A SERP may refer to a single page of links returned, or to the set of all links returned for a search query.
Being on page one of a SERP is the holy grail of search engine marketing. When people open up their browser and search for something you sell, your hope is that you show up on page one of a SERP. The searcher then sees your link and clicks through to your web site. Once on your web site, the searcher contacts you or they buy one of your products online.
In this example above, you didn't even need to look for this new customer, advertise to them, call them, or even mail them anything. They found you!! How cool is that?
How do businesses show up on page one of a SERP?
Well…the answer to that question is called search engine marketing or search engine optimization (SEO). It almost always takes some effort. And quite frankly, SEO work is really (just between you and me) all about "sucking up to Google" and doing what Google wants you to do. Why should you care about that?
Google is the world's most popular search engine. Search engine market shares look approximately like this at the time of this posting:
- Google 78.48%
- Bing 9.26%
- Yahoo 9.14%
So, hopefully, you can understand my "sucking up to Google" comment made just a moment ago. Clearly, any sensible SERP strategy would put the majority of money, time and effort into setting up and optimizing one's web presence focusing mostly on making Google's search engine algorithms like you very much.
The Value of Page Rank Position
Page rank position #4, #6, #1? What's the big deal? There's a ton of opportunity in moving up from position #6 (which is closer to the bottom of a page one SERP) to position #1. Consider this: Position #6 on a page one SERP only draws about 5% of the clicks, while position #4 gets 8%, position #2 gets 17%, and position #1 gets about 34% of the clicks!
The 3 Steps to SEO
If you have any competition at all in your business, and any one would ever to think to use Google to find your company online, you need to get some help from a search marketing expert. Search engine optimization is not easy or obvious, and it has 3 parts:
- SEO research
- SEO website adjustments
- SEO on-going optimization efforts
Taking short cuts or skipping anyone of those 3 steps always hurts. How does it hurt? It lets your competitors that take search marketing more seriously get the business that you should have gotten. That's bad.
FINALLY - What's the hardest part of all of this to accept?
Step 3 – "SEO on-going optimization efforts"
Why is step 3 so hard to accept? Because like it or not, SEO never stops and it costs your business a modest amount of time and/or money every month. Yep! Just like running Yellow Pages ads of the past, SEO is something you need to budget for month after month, every month going forward if you really want to dominate in the online SERP competition to gain new customers. Sorry…that's just the way it is. Don't shoot the messenger. But the return on your SEO investment can be phenomenal when it's done right. Call me to learn more: Paul DeBernardi 651-261-4581.

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010This has to be one of the coolest things I've seen created by a woman. The Rape-axe is a female condom with a new design,with teeth like hooks in a way to harm rapists. Invented by Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, this condom can be inserted like a tampon and has jagged rows of hooks on the inside and it works by attaching to a man's penis during penetration. And once attached, it can only be removed by a doctor.
Ehler states, "It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter… however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure."
The attacker is 'branded' a rapist and the victim is given time to get away.
That's a real Dangerously Beautiful woman. Great invention.

Corporate Video Production – What Works and Why
Editor's Note: Jimm is a friend, a great producer and a straight shooter. His chart analyzes the 'then' and 'now' of video and includes a link to "51 ways to use web video to help your business grow," Also, click here for more tips on how to max video ROI. Enjoy. – Larry Thomas
By Jimm Fox, President, One Market Media
Over the last few years the use and application of corporate video has undergone significant change. We're moving inexorably from the text web to the 'next web.' Whatever this evolution may bring, one thing is certain – video and interactive media will play a growing role in how all company's position and promote themselves.
We've put together a chart to highlight some of the key changes that have taken place in corporate video production:
Traditional approach | What works today | What's changed? | |
Focus of corporate video | Your business or product | Solving your customer's problems | The focus of video used to be just about promoting your 'brand '- that usually meant a lot of talk about yourself. |
Budget | Large | Small – Medium | Production costs have dropped and corporations are being far more tactical with their use of video today. |
Access to videos | Tightly controlled by the sales team or marketing | Created with the express purpose of being shared… everywhere. | Social marketing isn't a trend. People trust friends and colleagues considerably more than they trust corporations. |
Primary delivery method |
- Tradeshows - Meetings - Sales Calls |
Web, as well as other traditional methods | Soon, everything will be 'online' – broadcast media, corporate communications, presentations, etc. |
Typical message delivery | Actor, presenter or professional voice-over | Real people saying real things | Your customer is more skeptical than ever. Actors still have a place in video, but nothing can replace the value of a real employee representing your company in your corporate video. |
Desired perception of a corporate video | Authoritative | Informative | 'Pizzazz' isn't what it used to be. Sounding helpful is better than sounding important. 'Important' is about you. 'Helpful' is really about the customer. |
Frequency of production | 1 or 2 videos a year | 10's or even 100's of videos | It used to be that marketing would set aside $50,000 for one video. Today it might make more sense to set aside $50,000 for ten or more videos. |
Scope of video production | Broad – a single video covered as much ground as possible | Narrow – video focuses on a specific audience with a targeted message | There will always be a place for large scale video productions but the vast majority of videos will be targeted videos delivering a single message to a single audience. |
Where videos are found on a corporate website | In your 'video' section | Wherever customers need to view video on your site | No one comes to your site looking for a video (unless you are YouTube). They come to your site looking to solve a business problem. |
Where videos should be found | On your website | Wherever your client happens to be: YouTube, a business portal, on their mobile phone, searching, etc.) | Your website isn't the 'destination' you think it is. Creating content that can be viewed wherever your customer happens to be makes a lot of sense. |
Uses of Video | - TV Commercials - Sales Presentations - Homepage of your website. |
- Customer Testimonials - Video Case studies - Product 'explainer' videos - Product FAQ - Event promotion - Recruiting - Viral Video - Content marketing - Infomercials - Interactive video - Branded entertainment - Video press releases - Community relations videos - etc. - click here to discover 51 ways to use video to promote your business |
The number of uses of video continues to grow every day. |

Red State America and violence
by Joe Palmer
[ opinion - may 05 ]
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on a cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. - Mahatma Gandhi, in Nonviolence in Peace and War
Red State America, also called Red Neck America, voted for GW Bush in 2004. Red Neck: a white member of the laboring class, now including White Trash and Good Old Boys.
The novelist Jane Smiley in Slate excused the 58 million people who voted for GW Bush in 2004, explaining that they are full of ignorance, hubris, bloodlust, hatred and virulent racism because of their traditions of knock-down-drag-out violence, a consequence of the root-hog-or-die competition on the frontier. For example, in Kansas and Missouri during the guerrilla violence on the western front of the War Between the States, a raid on Lawrence, Kansas in 1863 left 183 men and boys dead, many publicly executed for being jayhawkers, anti-slavery guerrillas. It was not an isolated incident.
Quantrills Raid in Kansas was typical of the American experience.
Modern guerilla warfare against civilians, with its destruction of private property, got its start on the American frontier. Warfare in Europe had been stylized, formal and polite, with armies fighting battles like rule-governed games, a sort of deadly sport. Ladies and gentlemen even went to watch the set battles on occasion, taking along picnics and telescopes. Banditry and destruction was not yet legalized as warfare. Violence against ordinary people, in the form of horrors like Shermans march to the sea, the shelling of Paris, the firebombing of Dresden, and the obliteration of Hiroshima were unthinkable.
Then on the American frontier, free people had the impunity to fight each other over property, and so there was insurrection and rebellion about how they were going to live, a quarrel that became a war, the War Between the States. It grew out of the violence of the frontier, and culminated in Shermans March to the Sea in 1864. After his burning of Atlanta, there was total war, the scorched earth and devastation of a swathe ten miles wide from Atlanta to Savannah, the livestock killed, the houses burned, and the railroad tracks wrapped around trees, illustrating Shermans notion that in war it is necessary to break the spirit of the whole people in order to win.
In 1863 the town of Independence in Missouri, which was a free state, as opposed to a slave state, had fallen to the bandit, murderer, and horse-thief WC Quantrill, who was then made an irregular captain of the Confederate Army. His violent ways anticipated such outlaws as Frank and Jesse James, and Cole and Jim Younger, infamous in folklore and films. Bloody Bill Anderson, one of Quantrills Raiders wore a necklace of Yankee scalps.
Violence had been common on the frontier. In the previous century the French and Indian wars had created great animosity toward the British and consequently toward the invading, revolting Americans. The Hair-Buyer Col Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit, paid Indians for the scalps of American settlers in the Ohio Territory in order to discourage their living west of the Appalachians. Indians used the captured pioneers as porters for carrying furs and other valuables to Detroit before they killed and scalped them.
In 1782, Pennsylvania settlers at Gnadenhutten massacred nearly 100 Christian Delaware Indians, mostly women and children. They did not do it for nothing. In the same year, the last battle of the Revolution, after Yorktown, was fought at Blue Licks, Kentucky, when Canadian British regulars and Indians from Ohio defeated 180 Americans, killing 70, including Daniel Boones son Israel. Consequently, American General George Rogers Clark destroyed five Indian towns in Ohio.
War is politics by other means. It is sanctioned violence, killing people without murdering them, with malice aforethought but lawfully, with lawful malice.
At least 618,000 people died in the American Civil War, among them Abraham Lincoln, the best-known casualty.
Violence is a reality in American life, and it has been so before and since Europeans took the land from the aborigines. Just listen to the news about violence, read about it, watch it represented on television, just like the detective magazines we used to read while waiting at the barbershop. Catching and punishing offenders, violators of the law, is a major, necessary activity in the US, its prison population exceeding two million people in 2003, including more than 10% of all black males in their 20s. Some of those murdered were sellers of drugs on the streets, an occupation that earns on average the minimum wage, but suffers a seven per cent annual death rate. The moral to Americans: Dont sell life insurance to crack dealers.
Guns are often the instrument of choice for committing violence, being merely part of the technology of violence, more impersonal and efficient than arrows, darts, swords, cudgels, bludgeons, clubs, tomahawks, or shillelaghs, and fairly comparable in frequency of use to automobiles as takers and wasters of life. We are not more violent today, simply more efficient. Why walk when you can ride is the best excuse for using a firearm. Modern firearms, poisons, ordnance, explosives and airplanes do the job of killing better than spears, knives, and hammers.
Automobiles dont kill people. People do. Similarly, guns dont go off by themselves. Like cars, knives, and baseball bats, they have no selves.
In the United States of America an epidemic of violence that continues to this day broke out in 1983. For example, in the year 2002 nearly a million young people aged 10 to 24 were injured in violent acts, a third requiring hospitalization. Homicide was the second leading cause of death among them, after automobiles. In 2001 on average 15 youths a day, totaling 5,486, were murdered, 76% with firearms. According to the 2001 Youth Violence: A Report of the Surgeon General, This epidemic left lasting scars on victims, perpetrators, and their families and friends. It also wounded entire communities and, in ways not yet fully understood, the US as a whole.
At the same time, in contrast, the general crime rate decreased, violent and property crime rates falling 50% between 1993 and 2001. Some have attributed the overall decrease in crime to the effects of perhaps a million abortions of unwanted children per year since the Roe v Wade decision in 1973. Such speculation is the stuff of economics, which, like sociology, is another social discipline devoted to the study of the incomprehensible.
There have been 28 school shootings in the US in the last nine years, from Moses Lake, Washington, in 1996, in which three perished, to Red Lake, Minnesota, in 2005, in which 10 died.
So what else is new? Please forgive the sarcasm, but epidemic is an exaggeration in the statement above, and the violence did not come on suddenly. Violent acts by youths are committed against a background of violent acts by grown-ups.
Is there an acceptable, ordinary level of violence against which we gauge the amount and type that is committed? Apparently so, for if American youths had not been violent in the past, there would be no special report today. They are unfortunately bucking the general trend. It seems that violence is an essential part of the system, for in the American mind such acts are instances of good struggling against evil. People always have reasons for what they do.
While we may forget the particulars of the recent killing of a Judge in an Atlanta courthouse, the murder of a judges mother and husband in Chicago, the intimidation of judges by Republican politicians, and the murders at a church in Milwaukee, we cannot forget the outstanding perpetrators of public violence, the personally and politically alienated or simply outraged and perhaps insane (a vague legal term) like Eric Rudolph, who blew up an abortion clinic and a lesbian bar, and bombed the Atlanta Games in 1996, or Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh and their 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that took 168 lives. Similar are Ted Kaczinsky, the Unabomber, author of Industrial Society and its Future, David Koresh and his Branch Davidians at Waco, 76 of whom were killed by the FBI, or Jim Jones, the untrained preacher from Indiana whose congregation of 911 Americans perished with him in 1978 in Guyana. Remember Charles Whitman shooting 17 from a bell tower, or Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, or Jeffrey Dahmer, and so on. It is difficult if not impossible to draw a line between types like Vlad the Impaler, who eliminated poverty in Romania by killing the poor, and John Wilkes Booth, who hated tyrants.
In Canada over the past 20 years there has been only one killing in a high school shooting - in Alberta, the cowboy province, the most American, the Reddest of the provinces, in 1999. However, Valerie Fabrikant, a Russian immigrant, shot to death four abusive engineering colleagues at Concordia University in Montreal in 1992. He was on to their quasi-criminal scheme for getting money, and so they had denied him tenure. His pistols are not to blame.
Similarly, the student Marc Lepine went berserk, killing 14 girls and wounding 13 others, frustrated because he had been denied admission to the Ecole Polytechnic in Montreal in 1989, while dozens of girls had been admitted to the school, the public reaction to his selfish act of violence costing the Canadian taxpayers a billion dollars for a useless gun-registration scheme. We might as well license the use of butcher knives and carpenter hammers and then register them. The problem is not the hunting rifle Lepine used when running amok but the feminism, preferential treatment, and affirmative action that drove him to it. People always have their reasons for doing what they do.
An historical and personal note: Our immigrant ancestors came to America looking for the good life. To move around easily, to go West, is still our tradition, the departure and journey made easier by the lack of social ties. Like nomads we feel free to pull up stakes and move our tents whenever we need to or feel like it, fleeing our past experiences, and looking forward to our future adventures.
Think of Abraham Lincoln. Born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana, he walked to Illinois with his family. Think of my great-grandmothers grandmother, who was born (probably) in Virginia. In 1802 as a child of about two years of age she was found by rangers among the bodies and remains of a wagon train on the Cumberland Trace in Kentucky, called the Dark and Bloody Ground because the Red Indians had refused to give it up. She had been scalped and left for dead with several others. The men who found her made a chewing-tobacco poultice for her bloody head, and then they carried her along for two days until they found a German immigrant family walking towards the Louisiana Territory (Missouri) and willing to take her along. They named her Missouri Ann Meyers. Scalpless, she wore a cap and bonnet all her life to hide the scars. Three children survived her in Illinois where they settled.
Most Americans living outside the cities are a generation or two away from being peasants without villeinage or serfdom. They were hillbillies or dirt-farmers who lived off the land, share-cropping, market gardening, hunting and gathering, bartering, mining, just earning a living, with makeshift, jury-rigged communities providing purpose and meaning to their lives. Towns on the frontier were incomplete imitations of towns remembered in the old country or back east. Civilization, a situation of urban comfort, did not obtain there.
We think of small-town life on the frontier as a play like Our Town where every character fills a necessary role, each person belonging to a vital community - the preacher, the merchant, the sheriff, the mayor, the schoolmarm, the editor, the rancher... But that kind of ideal American society existed only in tradition and in the imagination, only in New England, where the play Our Town is set, and in the slave and plantation life of the Coastal South. When the rest of the land was laid wide open for the taking by new settlers, communities were to a large extent very much like what we picture in our minds when Western films govern our thinking. Life was precarious and contingent upon good luck, good crops, and clever settlers outwitting thieves and charlatans. Social conflicts were often resolved by the use of firearms, as in the movies.
In America since the pioneer days and the settling of the West, firearms have been cherished. Before the 20th Century, firearms were among the most expensive manufactured items a family or an individual ever acquired. Picture the scene: the lone farmwife in long skirts and an apron, the family shotgun under her arm, greeting a mounted stranger or a pair of migrants carrying bedrolls and rucksacks, looking for a place to sleep; Che Guevaras father discreetly giving him a pistol as Che starts out on his motorcycle trip around South America. Guns mean protection, security, and comfort. They are great equalizers.
The pistol under the front seat of the wagon or carriage was often wrapped in oiled paper to protect it from moisture and wrapped in a rag for concealment. Today plastic bags and nylon holsters have replaced paper and rags. The glove compartment in the dashboard that used to keep mud and snow off the driver of horses is a handy place to keep a pistol. When you borrow an automobile in the US, it is polite and usual for the owner to remove the pistol first.
As a child, and there were visitors at home, I brought out the family guns one at a time to be admired. People did not have much, but they all had guns, the workaday shotgun, and the little rifle used to kill sitting rabbits and squirrels, and the old military rifle too big to be used on small game. The old rifle was generally useless. There were few deer or bear left to kill then. But the powerful rifle was a reminder of military service, the old gun that grandpa fetched home from Concord, busted. On occasion an Atticus Finch might despatch a rabid dog with one.
During the Bonnie and Clyde days, my father Granville Palmer was arrested in Chicago because he looked like John Dillinger, the famous bank robber who had killed 16 people, just before the cops shot Dillinger coming out of a movie theater. My father carried a Colt .45 automatic for years, especially when buying fresh-water pearls from fishermen and produce from farmers, part of his business. After my adopted brother stole the pistol, commandeered a delivery truck with it, and drove away, leaving a young, pregnant wife behind, my father replaced it with a Ruger .22 automatic.
My fathers brother Donald shot himself to death at age 80 with a .22 revolver built on a .38 frame that my father had given him.
Our cousin Jeraldine bled to death on the front porch of the old homestead after a deputy shot him while he was trying to rob the bank in Monroe City, Indiana. Perhaps his unfortunate name drove him to despair.
My fathers father Jesse Darwin was a gambler and racketeer, working with both the Birger and Shelton gangs in Herrin, Illinois, and St Louis, Missouri. Ever clever, he died of natural causes in a veterans hospital in Peoria at age 80. In 1950 he still dressed in camels hair coats, tattersal vests, homburgs, and spats.
My uncle Nile Johnson shot a man to death when he caught him stealing fish from Niles trot lines. A trot line is a long rope strung with baited hooks, left overnight in a river.
My fathers grandfather Abraham Heacox killed a neighbor John Ready with a pistol in a quarrel, after Ready had testified in court that Abe was a bootlegger. Self-defense was the judgment.
My Grandfather Pearl Miley kept a .44 horse pistol stuck in an argyle sock on the front seat of his automobile next to him. A horse pistol was a sort of emergency brake necessary for the training and driving of horses, for slowing down runaways, and useful in case of assault, a tool he was used to. He also kept a baseball bat leaning near the front door of his house in Indianapolis, and a sap hanging from the inside doorknob. Almost all the Negroes in Indiana lived in Indianapolis, and he feared them. His moonshine dealer, a Negro bootlegger, came to the front door every two weeks, delivering Grandpas booze from Kentucky in Mason jars. Grandpa Pearl used his pistol to kill himself at age 80.
My Grandmother Delta Catherine kept a small .32 caliber pistol in the nightstand. When she drove her car to church and school assemblies where she gave dramatic readings, she carried the pistol with her, fearful of thieves and immigrants. In great demand as a performer, in her act Grandma recited James Whitcomb Rileys Little Orphant Annie, Robert W Services The Shooting of Dan McGrew and The Cremation of Sam McGee, and always ended her show with a prayer. When Grandma died, my dad threw her pistol into the river, saying Now that pistol wont hurt nobody, a sensible act millions would like to emulate today.
To my cousins and me Grandma read tracts about the villainy of Catholics, and how when they took over the world they would cut open the bellies of pregnant Protestant women. She was a modern Know-Nothing, a nativist, anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, patriotic American. Stemming from the early Republican Party, the Know-Nothing movement (1843-60), whose members were sworn to secrecy, promising to know nothing about the movement, and precursors of the Ku Klux Klan, were allied with Whigs and became the American Party in 1855. The Klan is alive and well.
Grandma, a Klanswoman, was raised by people who still believed the old, vicious Know-Nothing Party line against Catholics and foreigners, spread by, among others, Samuel Morse [inventor], Lyman Beecher [puritan preacher], Millard Fillmore [13th President of the United States], Maria Monk [pseudonym] and her Awful Disclosures about the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in Montreal - who held that the Pope was trying to take control of the United States by sending the Irish and German immigrants to outnumber the Protestant population. They claimed that Catholics were going to build another Vatican in Cincinnati.
The descendants of those Know-Nothings are todays Red State voters. Clever politicians have manipulated todays gullible Know-Nothings in order further to negate, avoid, or destroy the humane fruits of the Civil War, which was not only about slavery, but about whether a nation dedicated to the rights of the individual, all men are created equal, could long prevail.
Abraham Lincoln wrote: If the Know-Nothings get control, the Declaration of Independence will read: All men are created equal except for Negroes, foreigners, and Catholics.
The Red State voters have the mind-set of exploiters, a frame of reference that excuses and even condones violating, capitalizing upon, and using people, and depleting the land and natural resources, just like their pioneer forebears. They include income-tax haters, racial bigots, survivalists, private militias, and crazies who believe The End Is Near.
The tyranny of the majority, the primary drawback of democracy that de Toqueville warned us about, has arrived.

An elderly man who fired at law enforcement about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday was shot and killed when officers returned fire, according to Thurston County Sheriff's Lt. Greg Elwin.
The 70-year-old man was distraught over his wife's recent cancer death, neighbors said. His name is being withheld until the Thurston County coroner notifies family members.
The man had been acting erratically earlier in the morning, standing in the street and blocking traffic near his home in the area of Maytown and Littlerock roads, witnesses said. The man also fired a rifle at a passing driver, a witness said.
According to Elwin:
Deputies were dispatched about 11:45 a.m. The first to arrive told the man to drop his weapon, but the man instead fled to his home. The man then fired at deputies, and some rounds struck Littlerock Elementary School across the street. Deputies formed a perimeter, and when the man left his home out the back door, he was armed with a pistol.
The man began firing from his back porch at two Thurston County sheriff's deputies and a Tenino police officer. A 47-year-old deputy and a 36-year-old Tenino officer returned fire.
The man was struck by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. On Wednesday afternoon, he was lying in the back yard of his home, covered by a blue tarp.
It's unknown which law enforcement officer's bullets struck the man. Both men have been placed on paid administrative leave, standard practice in officer-involved shootings.
Neighbor Heather Goodrich said she heard three shots. Another neighbor, Tim Roberts, said he heard five or six. As of Wednesday afternoon, Elwin didn't know how many shots were fired.
The death is being investigated by an interagency officer-involved shooting team that includes sheriff's detectives from neighboring counties, Elwin said.
Dan Sebring said he was driving down Maytown Road about noon with his wife and three children in the car when the man fired at his vehicle.
"He was standing out here as people were driving by," Sebring said. "He shot at my car … He was yelling and screaming, 'Don't look at me; move on.'"
Sebring said his wife called 911. He said he doesn't think his car was struck and that the man shot at other drivers, too.
"He was shooting at everything and anything he could find," Sebring said.
Deputies had been called to the scene earlier, about 8 or 9 a.m., after neighbors complained about the man's behavior in the street, neighbor Amanda Muxen said. The man was not armed at the time, Muxen said. He was angry about yard waste that had fallen from a passing car onto the street and was trying to pick it up, she said.
Elwin confirmed that a deputy had been called to the location earlier but didn't have details.
Goodrich, who lives on Maytown Road, said the man's wife died several months ago after a long battle with cancer, and he hadn't been the same since.
"I understand it ended very badly, but he was a nice guy," she said. "He was acting erratic today."
Muxen's boyfriend, Tim Robbins, added that during the earlier incident with deputies, "I was talking to him, trying to get him to calm down."
Dianna Lance, a clerk at Littlerock Grocery, said the man behaved erratically in the store Sunday night. He couldn't find his wallet and seemed disoriented, she said. After he left, he harassed people in the parking lot, she said.
That night a deputy responded, calmed the man down and sent him home, she said.
Elwin confirmed that incident.
Another clerk at the Littlerock Grocery, Byung Kim, said the man was a retired corrections officer at the Cedar Creek Corrections Center. DOC spokesman Chad Lewis confirmed that the man was an officer at Cedar Creek from 1992 until his retirement in 2007.
Kim said the man used to come into the store to talk about his wife's battle. Kim said he has known the man for about seven years.
"He's a real nice guy," Kim said. "He helped people out." After his wife died, "he pretty much lost it," Kim added.

Lorain officials oppose state budget cuts to local governments
LORAIN — Gov. John Kasich's budget already has spurred criticism from city leaders who say it will hurt local governments' coffers.
Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer and Treasurer Karen Shawver joined the Cuyahoga County Mayors & City Managers Association and the Northeast Ohio Mayors & City Managers Association in opposing measures they say would cut local income tax revenues for cities.
State legislators already have cut local government funding and estate taxes paid to cities, Ritenauer said.
"It's attacking revenue streams," Ritenauer said about the budget, known as House Bill 5. "It has been really a full-out barrage against local governments.
"The state has a billion-dollar surplus, a billion-dollar surplus, but the barrage against local governments continue," Ritenauer said.
It was unclear exactly how much money Lorain might lose under the budget, the officials said.
However, the budget would change rules regarding taxes on lottery and gambling winnings; Ohio residency; rules for employers withholding taxes to pay to cities; and other regulations, Shawver said.
She anticipates drafting a resolution opposing the budget for Lorain City Council to review.
Some of the income tax revenue changes were included in a bill introduced last year, but never passed in the Ohio legislature, Ritenauer said.
Lorain County's mayors and city managers had a conference call to express their opposition. They spoke with State Rep. Dan Ramos, D-Lorain; State Rep. Matt Lundy, D-Elyria; and State Sen. Gayle Manning, R-North Ridgeville, Ritenauer said. Continued...
Parts of the state budget would mandate conformity among cities, such as standardizing permits and forms, Ritenauer said.
Some of those changes could make paperwork easier for businesses that operate in multiple cities, Ritenauer said. However, the rule changes should not come at a cost to cities, he said.

Hedge Your Bets
Manage your exposure to volatile and rising prices for natural gases and other utilities.
by Mike Corley
In energy intensive industries such as aggregates, high and/or volatile natural gas prices can wreak havoc on the bottom line, not to mention the headaches incurred by management and shareholders.
While many companies in the aggregates business don't consume as much natural gas as diesel fuel or electricity, most do burn enough gas that volatile prices and high expenditures can, and often do, have a significant impact on the company's financials. If these volatile costs aren't actively managed, they can lead a company to exceed budget forecasts, or worse, lower or non-existent profit margins.
Although there are many factors that affect natural gas prices, weather, natural gas storage inventories, and economics conditions, as well as the market's perception of these factors, are the primary factors that drive natural gas prices.
Most large energy consuming companies such as those in the aggregates industry can mitigate their exposure to volatile and potentially rising natural gas costs, as well as diesel fuel and electricity costs, through hedging. Hedging allows market participants, such as aggregate producers which consume large quantities of natural gas and other energy commodities, to lock in prices and margins in advance, while reducing the potential impact of volatile and rising natural gas prices.
The primary reason that many large, natural gas-consuming companies hedge their natural gas costs is that the fluctuating price of gas can present large financial risks that have a significant impact on the bottom line. Another reason for hedging a company's exposure to natural gas price risk is to improve or maintain the competitiveness of the firm. Very few companies are not subject to competition; they compete with other domestic companies in their sector as well as with companies located in other countries that produce similar goods for sale in the global marketplace. As a result, by having the ability to know and/or manage their future natural gas costs, many companies can establish a competitive advantage in their market.
Shifting the risk
Hedging reduces exposure to price risk by shifting that risk to those with opposite risk profiles or to investors who are willing to accept the risk in exchange for profit opportunity. Natural gas hedging involves establishing a position in a financial instrument that is equal and opposite of the company's exposure in the physical natural gas market; the physical market is the "market" where a company procures the actual natural gas that it consumes in its day-to-day operations.
Hedging works because the cash prices and financial prices of natural gas tend to have a strong correlation. Even though the difference between the cash and financial prices may increase or decrease, the risk of an adverse change in this relationship is generally much less than the risk of not hedging.
It is extremely important to remember that the purpose of hedging natural gas is to mitigate the company's exposure to natural gas prices, thus stabilizing the company's natural gas costs. Hedging is not a means for a natural gas consuming company to gamble on the price of natural gas. Gambling on natural gas prices, also known as speculating, all too often produces worse results than doing nothing at all. Large gas consumers should use hedging to reduce the probability that the company will be negatively affected by volatile or rising natural gas prices. On the other hand, speculators are of the opposite mentality. Speculators bet on the direction of natural gas prices in hopes that they will be able to "buy low and sell high."

New Kia Optima
Base MSRP $21,350
Compared to other mid-size sedans, the Kia Optima continues to stand out for several reasons. Showcasing Kia's more Euro-influenced design direction, the Optima has styling that's more exciting than that of other mid-size sedans, especially from the outside. And that design works out to be quite roomy on the inside. It's also one of the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans, and it offers quite sporty performance considering its mileage numbers. The turbocharged engine in the SX in particular provides the power and acceleration of a V6 but the gas mileage of a four. The Optima is also a very strong value, with a few more features at each trim level than what's found in most comparable models.
Kia's strong 10-year warranty on powertrain components remains another strong selling point.

50 Cent - Respect It Or Check It N*gga
Artist: 50 Cent
Producer: Frank Dukes
Album: Forever King Mixtape
Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
Riding high off the positive response to his War Angel LP, a street release that harked back to the gritty sound that made him Eminem's favorite underground MC, 50 Cent is preparing to earn another round of plaudits with the release of Forever King, dedicated (nominally, at least) to the memory of Michael Jackson. Recorded this past Thursday (the day of MJ's passing) Respect It Or Check It N*gga finds 50 talking tough to all those who would stand in his way over an old-school, sampled beat by Frank Duke. Though fans still hurting from the pop icon's passing might find the tacked-on MJ shout-out with which 50 concludes the cut a little insulting, the track itself will doubtless be a hit with the rapper's newly-rebuilt fanbase. Those digging 50's recent return to form can download a copy of Forever King June 3rd, as well as picking up a copy of his long-delayed Before I Self-Destruct LP when it finally hits stores September 8th.

The linkage to the late Mr. Jackson is bullsh*t - sorry, fif. However, the record is another story. Please listen and again and tell me you didn't find that will.i.am line repeat-worthy. The street angle has always worked for this man... too bad a major label would never let him put out an album full of these records.

I didnt really like the War Angle LP, so I was never expecting to be a big fan of this track.
Lyrically 50 is decent on this. Though to be honest, I dont listen to 50 for his lyrics, I listen to tracks by 50 because of the usually dope production & the large traces of 'swagger' in his flows. I know MJ had a effect on nearly every artist making noise today, but I dont think the shout-outs were really necessary. 2.5 |

The record was pretty dope for 50. The production jumps and 50 is pretty consistent. I could also care less about the MJ references (Bang, bang, shoot em up, and oh yeah, RIP Michael Jackson)
EPIC FAIL. It sounded like halfway through the second verse, he was channeling some "Relapse" Eminem...lol. I can give three to this. Not bad from Fif. I might download "BISD" if I feel like it...lol. |

Fif goes after Drake because his buzz isn't like yours? Why do you constantly have to mention other people just to make yourself look better? Quit destroying your legacy and make GOOD music. |

Senior Ben Koepsell scored in the 82nd minute to give the Lakeland College men's soccer team a 2-1 win over Martin Luther College in nonconference action Saturday afternoon at Muskie Field.
The Muskies (1-0) got off to a dominating start as they controlled the ball most of the first half. Lakeland peppered the Knights' goal, outshooting Martin Luther 14-3 in the first half of play, 28- 9 for the game.
Senior forward Jeremy Hardy (Cooks, Mich.) was first to score for Lakeland, netting a goal in the 50th minute on through ball from senior midfielder Adam Benson (Anoka, Minn.). The Knights wouldn't go unnoticed, answering the Muskies in the 63rd minute.
In the final 10 minutes of the game, Koepsell (Cedar Grove, Wis.) capitalized on a loose ball on top of the six yard box to give the team the go-ahead goal.
Head coach Tony Pierce was pleased with the team's play and anticipation.
"I think it's huge for us to start 1-0, especially after the season we had last year," said Pierce. "It's great to start off with a win and I thought we played well. The leadership of our seniors was great. We came out and took control of the game which is what we need to do every game."
Junior goalkeeper Alex Piekarski (Menasha, Wis.) recorded nine saves.

A Queens ransom
Taxpayer funded nonprofitdoes little
- Last Updated: 6:55 AM, January 22, 2012
- Posted: 12:46 AM, January 22, 2012
It rakes in millions in taxpayer money, pays its executives handsomely, and likes to tout its grand visions.
But critics and business owners say that in the 45 years the Greater Jamaica Development Corp. has existed, it's done little to further its single mission: Make Jamaica, Queens, a better place to work and live.
The nonprofit's latest plan is a $25 million project to widen a road and create a public plaza. To do it, GJDC asked the city's help to evict more than a dozen small businesses and several apartment dwellers — the exact groups the organization is supposed to help.
Carol Radin is fuming over the impending loss of her property at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue, which includes three apartments, retail shops and office space. She has operated businesses at the corner since 1960.
Greater Jamaica, formed in 1967 to revitalize the struggling Queens business district, has reaped a windfall of public money from its allies, including embattled Rep. Gregory Meeks, but its track record is disputed.
"Greater Jamaica Development, to me, was formed only to pad the pockets of the people who were really involved," said Radin, who added she had not "seen one thing of improvement."
Among Greater Jamaica's purported "achievements:"
* Running five parking lots and garages that make millions in revenue that is used only to bolster the finances of the organization. Until recently, it paid no taxes for those businesses.
* Owning a landmark building that houses its headquarters and other tenants. Yet Greater Jamaica still manages to pay millions in rent — $1,564,278 alone in 2010 — to a separate nonprofit that it controls. It refused to explain the arrangement.
* Buying an old grocery store in 2004 with a $2.7 million grant from the Port Authority to be developed as a corporate office tower for tenants like JetBlue. The project went nowhere and the PA — after a Post exposé — is now investigating the deal, which called for it to get its money back, or take the building.
* Spending more than $8 million to gobble up a strip of stores and businesses in order to develop the property into a 250-room hotel and conference center. But the developer, Jeff Spiritos, has defaulted on his agreement with Greater Jamaica, and the project is in limbo.
The hotel site stands empty across the street from the businesses that are about to be evicted to make way for the "Station Plaza" project. Greater Jamaica is working with the city, which will take the property through condemnation if it cannot reach agreements with the property owners. GJDC hopes to start construction in 2013.
