text: These shows so deserve a thread. I just watched last night's episodes and almost peed myself...IMO, all three are the best episodes of the current season so far. I'm especially surprised by The Cleveland Show, which was kinda boring at first, but now it's become just as funny as the other two series...Gotta love the setting and those characters. With The Simpsons just getting worse and worse with every season (just let it die already...), these shows are a godsent. Anyone else here love them as much as I do?

There were quite a few bees that might need spraying.
I really liked how easy it was to be hanging out inside one minute, and the next be swimming at a pool or in a hot tub.
The Wren party that stayed with us last summer has been so excited to rebook that they wanted to offer me some extra testimonials:
Duane Kirkman, party of 4, stayed September 12th-19th 2017 and had this to say:

Kitchen microwave needed cleaning, Guest bathroom was dirty, house needs a good vacuuming, mopping and window washing. Mickey and his family are outstanding. He is a great asset. We have greatly enjoyed the ample space in the house and the use of the grill.
Owner Comments: I vacuumed the entire house that morning and I don't recall the guest bathroom being dirty. I do remember needing to clean the microwave but then forgot to. Some peoples standards for cleanliness seem higher than others. I will have to get professional help to meet these expectations.
The Wrens, party of 27, stayed during August of 2017 and had this to say:

Bunk Bed could be better. Phenomenal! Very gracious and helpful hosts! Thank You!
Owner Comments: These guys were a hoot and had a blast. Just look at how cheap their week long vacation was: $1500/27 = $55.55 per person! They didn't all stay all week but still, such a deal! Large groups simply can't find a place with better bang for their buck!
The Ashcrofts were our first guests to use our new review form and here's what they gave us:
Overall Experience: 4 stars (****)
Cleanliness: 3 stars (***)
Functionality: 5 stars (*****)
Price: As Expected
Documents: 5 stars (*****)
Website: 5 stars (*****)
I would recommend this place to my friends: Yes
The Cleanliness wasn't the best. It didn't ruin our trip or anything just would've been nicer if cleaner. Needs a deep, spring clean! The pool was too cold for Grandma and Grandpa to get into it but most of us loved it.
We loved the BBQ and fire pit, the pool and hot tub and the big open area that fit us all for the family games. It was a nice, relaxing weekend!! Thanks!
We also loved how everything was labeled!! It was so easy to find everything!
Here's a video review from the Morales family that stayed here in July of 2017:
Owner Comment: I will do all I can to fix that cleanliness issue! A more detailed inquiry noted that the bathtubs needed better scouring.
The Morales gave me a video review:
From: Ben Greenfield (04/03-04/07) (*****) (of BenGreenfieldFitness.com fame)
Things I liked: -Nature setting
-A proprietor who understand and appreciates true health
-Amazing food
-Immediate access to hikes, river, ponds, etc.
-Pool and hot tub
-The friendly, personal touch
Things that could have been better: Nothing. It completely rocked. I went in not knowing what to expect, and it was simply amazing!
Owner Comment: I cannot take credit for the food. Christopher Claunch (of Guns And Duns fame) was our chef and fishing instructor during Ben's stay and did all the cooking. Let us know if you want Chris's talents during your next stay – I may be able to arrange it.
From: Aloysius Fobi (July 17-22, 2016) (*****)
Things I Liked: The location is beautiful and an excellent place to unplug and recharge with the family. We took excellent hikes, the kids played in the pool, milked cows and tried to catch frogs. Great time was had by all!
Things that could have been better: This was perfect!
From: Jan Brandvold (July 10-17, 2016) (*****)
Things I liked: Our family of five adults and six children had a wonderful time during our week at Lifewater Ranch. The caretakers, aptly named Kindred, were incredibly helpful and kind. They let our children help gather eggs and milk the cow, and were quick to respond to our questions. Mickey even showed the kids how to fish and catch bullfrogs! We spent many hours at the beautiful saltwater pool, went for walks around the ponds, played games, watched movies, read, played pool, made s'mores, and relaxed. The house was perfect for us, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and lots of living space. We really enjoyed the birds, bullfrogs, cattle and chickens.
Things that could have been better: We had trouble keeping the spa water clear. Also, the master bedroom mattress was too soft to be comfortable for me, though my husband had no trouble sleeping. (If it was my house I would replace the mattress and box springs.) but these things were minor and did not have a significant impact on our enjoyment of our stay. (The king sized bed in the basement had a nice new mattress.)
Owner Comment: Actually the Master Bedroom mattress is brand new and the basement one is used. We are aware of that mattress being too soft and are working on improvements.
From: Ginny Jacques (Canada) (6/2016) (*****)
What we loved:
1) the peace and quiet (underneath the grandkids' laughter in the pool); 2) the crystal-clean, un-chlorinated pool;
3) the hot tub with a view of the hills and pond;
4) the closet full of board games, some of which we'd never known;
5) the caretakers–helpful and respectful of our freedom and privacy;
6) the comfortable, homey atmosphere.
Things that could have been better:
Hmm. Not much could have been better. Maybe a few more clean linens and towels?
From: Jay Maxner (6/29/2015 – 7/2/2015) (unrated)
Liked: Great pool, comfortable home, beautiful setting.
Amazing property. Island pond area is peaceful, beautiful and teeming with wildlife.
Owner easy to work with, accommodating & generous.
Things that could have been better: A/C in house was too cold.
Owner Comment: Unfortunately, my temperature preferences are not compatible with all my guests. The thermostat is easily adjustable by renters as needed.
From: Elizabeth Langford (12/2014) (****)
Liked: The location was beautiful, the trees and mountainous terrain were just breathtaking. I loved the way we were greeted and taken care of so well. There was everything we needed on site which was a huge bonus and the hot tub was a very nice treat. The privacy and room we had as a large family was really perfect and, much better than a hotel, we felt like we were at home. I loved having the trails to hike and explore it was just so peaceful and beautiful, even in the winter.
Dates I was at Lifewater Ranch: 12/21/2014-1/2/2015
Things that could have been better: The mattress in the Master room was quite hard and it was also distracting at times having to worry about the owners pets, one night the cat kept scratching the door, but at least she had a place to go and once she was put in there it wasn't a problem. There could have been better cleanliness as far as bugs and dust all around the window sills and along the edges of the wood floors as well, but overall most of the issues we had were very minor and didn't affect the enjoyment of our stay.
Owner Comment: The Langfords arrived the day after fly eggs hatched in the livingroom. This happens every year and just requires a one-time cleanup. Their timing was perfect and there was nothing we could do to prevent this. (We don't know where the flys come from – but they annually appear each year in the spring)

Planning for Paston Treasures Exhibition begins in North Walsham
A group of senior academics recently visited Paston Sixth Form College to prepare for a forthcoming exhibition on the Paston Treasures at the Norwich Castle Museum in 2018. The three day event, organised by the Yale Center for British Art, involved staff from a number of prestigious institutions including Yale Center for British Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the British Museum, the University of California, the University of Sussex, the UEA, Birkbeck College – London University, the Ashmolean Museum Oxford and the University of Amsterdam.
They were supported by the Head of Norfolk Museums and by Norwich Castle Museum, who will be hosting the Paston Treasures Event in 2018. In total the group of thirty, visited a number of sites related to the Paston Family. These included St Margarets Church, the Great Barn in Paston, St Nicholas Parish Church in North Walsham, Sir William Paston's Tomb and Paston Sixth Form College. At the College, the visitors spent time looking at a range of pictures in the Nelson Room linked to the Paston family.
The visitors enjoyed their time in North Walsham and the surrounding area. They were extremely positive about the welcome they received from everyone involved.
Kevin Grieve, Principal, said:-
"It was a great opportunity to meet people who were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the art and literature related to the Paston family. I am sure the exhibition will be very successful".

Compost has the ability to help regenerate poor soils. The composting process encourages the production of beneficial microorganisms which will in turn break down organic matter. This increases the nutrient content in soils and helps retain moisture. Compost has also been shown to suppress plant diseases and pests, reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizer, and promote higher yield of agricultural crops.
Concrete & Asphalt recycling is an increasingly common method of disposing of the rubble. Concrete & Asphalt debris, once routinely shipped to landfills for disposal, is now collected from demolition sites and put through a crushing machine often along with dirt and rocks. We only accept uncontaminated concrete and asphalt, which must be free of brick, clay pipe, trash, wood, paper and other such materials. The loads can not be mixed they are to be either all concrete products or all asphalt products. We accept brick and brick mixed with concrete which is processed separately from the regular concrete products.

My advice to you would be to recheck family, boy, finance, business. Is he someone known to you and your family or randomly you have picked up from the Newspaper/ or online websites. Does your sister approve of this marriage and boy. I think some due diligence is required. Blessings, Navneet Khanna Astrologer

The Constitution of the People
Salt, Matthew Scott
Date issued
Thesis or dissertation
University of Exeter
Once the exclusive expressions of the few, modern constitutions have long been a world prose genre. In Western intellectual, political and imperialist discourse the global present of constitutions represents a proliferation of superior practices and universal values born uniquely of European thought and culture. This thesis proposes that constitutions derive their universal truths and their powers not from this (a)historical centre, but in contingent relation to the beliefs, experiences, exigencies and aspirations of the cultures they address and form (as the People). Constitutions function in this respect as rhetorical argumentation. As culturally informed, constitutional history embodies a dynamic, contested and uneven space of relationships not explicated by a linear evolution. Thus, I propose an interwoven and unpredictably circulating world space of knowledge continually shifting its shape throughout the modern era. These propositions are explored through four constitutional texts. Chapter 2 is a genealogy of "the People" in the US Constitution(s), concentrating on the constitutional sanction of slavery, the abolition amendments and civil rights court cases. Chapter 3 elucidates the interrelationship between the declaration of enlightened autonomy in the 1827 Cherokee Constitution and the consequent re-writing of US constitutional law and history required to disguise avarice beneath moral superiority. Chapter 4 considers the constitutions of Vietnam and the creation of a national People as inseparable from struggles against external forces. Chapter 5, on the 2004 Interim Constitution of Iraq, examines the Western creation of an abstract "Iraqi People," kept distinct from the divisions and aspirations of actual peoples. As read texts and as cultural objects constitutions exist in multitudinous, simultaneous, social, legal, political and intellectual realms of interpretation and perceived value. The interdisciplinary approach taken here is therefore essential and demanded. I conclude that the struggle of human communities has brought progress in world constitutionalism; power reluctantly accommodates the expectations of those that sustain it.

Project Description
Single Review
Reviewer: Brianna Denmeade
"When its done right, its done right…and they've done it really well."
– Richard Kingsmill, triple j
Sydney grunge larrikins The Dead Love are back! Hot on the heels of a massive 2017, the band is ready to introduce their brand new summer anthem 'Ordinary'. This new track follows the band's break out single 'Sugarcoat' which garnered strong support from triple j and Spotify.
And with their new single 'Ordinary', The Dead Love guys will be touring the country playing their grunge-pop bangers and causing a ruckus around Australia. Last week we got to know the guys better with one of our Amnplify Snapshots (here), and now we have Brianna Denmeade's review of single Ordinary so you guys have some insight before catching them live on tour (see below for tour details).
Ordinary opens with simple electric guitar strumming, its a flat note giving the intro a melancholy feel. The strumming continues for four counts of four before the intensity that is, The Dead Love burst into the song with drums and strong vocals.
The energy of the song shifts here giving the track a rock-punk edge to start. The song is mostly sung by the lead singer in an alto range, his voice is a perfect fit for a punk song. The heavy rock sound only last two counts of four before the band shifts back into a more pop-punk sound, the electric guitar softens here and the beat slows.
The opening lyrics, "Welcome to a brand new day. Sitting here in second place." gives the listener insight into the meaning behind the song, which overall is a melancholy message of having shit go wrong and not being able to talk it out. In the chorus, the other bandmates join in for an "Oh, oh" and a few (or more than few) "Na, na, nas", which bring it back to that pop music vibe, with the melody ramping up to give the chorus that punk edge The Dead Love is known for.
'Ordinary' definitely leans more toward pop than their last track 'Sugarcoat' which I think is a good thing showing their audience that they do not need to be boxed into the punk genre to still make a grungy and emotive song. 'Ordinary' blends genres from punk-rock to punk-pop, and does it well. I know that the guys go pretty wild on tour so I look forward to seeing what they do with this one live on stage.
Connect with THE DEAD LOVE!

What exactly is DND and DNBD? In any case, I'm glad that this existing work looks promising, this way it might be possible to make a running start. It would be hilarious if Apache Flex folks would actually be able to create a Flashbuilder plugin that facilitates this, I've been saying for years that FB should allow plugins to be developed in the language its supporting. (Eclipse->Java, VIsual Studio->C#,etc) Yet somehow Adobe didn't think this was a good idea apparently... (Them again, I'm not a business genius, just a dumb developer) I'm not sure how many plugins have been created for FDT yet using this API, maybe there's folks working for Powerflasher on this list that can shed some light on this?

Roadshow Video Reviews
2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen 2.0TAll Jetta wagons are called "Sportwagens"; think VW knows we're still hung up on the Griswolds?
[ Music ] ^M00:00:03 >> All Jetta wagons are sport wagons, as if VW wants to head off wagon prejudice at the pass. Let's see what our SEL model has under the hood and in the dash to erase some of that prejudice. ^M00:00:17 [ Music ] ^M00:00:22 Now, inside, the first word that comes to mind is "hallelujah," because this is a dramatically new Volkswagen head unit and we needed it. This is actually very impressive. We've got a map display that is of rather high quality, well-rendered -- not the best in the world, but well done -- and everything is very readable. I like that in a nav system so I'm not staring at it trying to figure out what those little tiny tortured words are. You've also got live traffic on this guy as part of a new service layer from Sirius, and yes, Sirius Satellite Radio on this car as well. Hard-drive-based system, not quite as snappy as I'd like. There's a little bit of delay. Maybe inside the screen's calibrated, but nothing really awful. Now, that hard drive also comes into play in the audio system. Of course, you've got the usual radio functions. We do also have on this system the ability to listen to HD radio. But under the media button, things get really interesting. CD, DVD, single-slot -- because we have a hard drive -- SD card is down here. I'm not normally a big fan of those, but you might be. Here's our hard drive button to go see what's on the drive. And finally there's this media input. This refers to what they call the MDI connector, which is this guy over here, which I currently have a USB pigtail on. And you've also got the aux jack on the front of the console. So all this stuff comes up under your aux media inputs. Now, notice when it comes to ripping to the hard drive, I can play the CD. It will not rip and convert that to a digital format. I can copy my SD card files, 'cause they're already mp3's in this case. That's what that icon means. And as you can see, it's about an 18, 19-gig total capacity available to you, the remaining 10-gig or so out of this 30-gig drive is being used by the system. And if all those sources aren't enough for you, you also got -- look at this -- Bluetooth streaming audio, which you can turn on, and you can adjust the sensitivity of your aux input jack. That's nice. Oh, by the way, our optical disc deck up here does also accept DVDs, though in kind of an odd way. I'm not able to really get to all my chapters and menus to get past my FBI warning. I mean, that's nice, but I get bored with that after a minute or two. Now, sound-wise, I'm very impressed by the audio system in this car. Especially since it isn't a huge, high-dollar upgrade. We do have 10 speakers in this vehicle because we have the better audio system on an SEL. And also, it's got a lot of good sound in the amps. I don't know the exact specs, they're not revealed, but you do have your usual settings here with a nice mid control, which is always important on a better audio system. Great toy we have on this sport wagon is the optional panoramic roof. Now, they're not kidding. Great big glass thing powers back, and it's got that little, you know, kind of West Elm sun shade down there. But you got a big panel over the rear seats and this great big moving one over the front. ^M00:03:00 [ Music ] ^M00:03:03 Since our Jetta Sport wagon is an SEL trim car, it has a two-liter turbo 4, putting out 200 horsepower and about 207 foot-pounds of torque. Now, I have to admit: I didn't look at this car's butt before I drove it, so I had no idea what engine it had. But if I had to guess, I would've said it was a V-6. Admittedly not quite the best performing one, but that's still high praise for a turbo 4. This six-speed manual gearbox is stock, but for $1100 more, you can get VW's nice DSG dual clutch automated manual. The ride is as VWs have always been since they were done right: taught without being hard. And the Jetta remains small enough that it's still just tossable. Alright, a Jetta Sport wagon SEL with all the good trim's about $27,000. Add $1990 for the nav rig with all the cool audio inputs -- kind of a must-go Cnet style, right? If you wanna go cheap, $199 alone will get you an iPod adapter in the console. Now, that sunroof is $1300, and if you want the DSG dual clutch gearbox, it's $1100 more. ^M00:04:05 [ Music ]

This year is flying by so fast. I don't know about you but the fact that next month is Christmas and then we will be into 2013 amazes me. Think back to last New Year's Eve; did you make some resolutions? Have you kept them or did you manage to break every single one of them over the months since then?
Whether you work, study, live a life of retirement or anything else, you should always set goals so you have something to aim for. Otherwise your life can easily drift or fall into a slump.
Have you been looking after your health? Eating right? Exercising regularly?
If not, it's time to start thinking about the resolutions for next year. Make 2013 an even better year than 2012 is/will be/was. The only person standing in the way of you achieving anything you want to is…… YOU!
I have already started my resolution list because I also didn't manage to keep all mine. Nobody's perfect but if we keep setting goals, it's a good start to keep your life moving in a forward pace rather than stopping or reversing.
Next month I will share my goals for next year and I encourage you all to do the same, whether it's with me or your family and/or friends. Telling others is making a bigger commitment so are you up to that challenge???

Clinton slams anti-Islam video as disgusting
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday condemned an amateur anti-Islam film which has sparked violent Middle East protests, stressing the US government had nothing to do with it.
"To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose, to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage," Clinton said.
"The United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message."
The top US diplomat also reiterated: "There is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence."
Protests have erupted for three days running outside US diplomatic missions in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and elsewhere by demonstrators who deem the low-budget movie "Innocence of Muslims" made in the United States as offensive to Islam.
US ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed when heavily-armed extremists launched a sustained four-hour attack on the US mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi late Tuesday.
Condemning the violence, Clinton said at the launch of a strategic dialogue between the United States and Morocco that all "leaders in government, leaders in civil society or religious leaders must draw the line at violence."
"Any responsible leader should be standing up now and drawing that line," she added.
"It is especially wrong for violence to be directed against diplomatic missions. These are places whose very purpose is peaceful to promote better understanding across countries and cultures.
"All governments have a responsibility to protect those spaces and people. Because to attack an embassy is to attack the idea that we can work together to build understanding and a better future."
Addressing complaints that America did nothing to stop such videos and anti-Islamic messages ever seeing the light of day, Clinton upheld the US Constitution and the First Amendment guaranteeing the freedom of speech.
"Our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which is enshrined in our constitution and in our law," she said.
"We do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be.
"There are of course different views around the world about the outer limits of free speech and free expression. But there should be no debate about the simple proposition that violence in response to speech is not acceptable."

TEL AVIV, August 17, 2018 (News Wires) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went through a new round of questioning on Friday over one of several graft cases that have threatened to topple him, media reports said.
Investigators arrived at the premier's residence in the morning to interview him over allegations of corruption involving local telecoms giant Bezeq and its largest shareholder, Shaul Elovitch, according to Israeli media reports.
Israeli police and Netanyahu's office do not confirm that such hearings have taken place until they are over.
It would be the 12th time Netanyahu has been questioned in various cases, either as a suspect or a witness.
In the Bezeq case, Netanyahu is accused of seek favourable coverage from another Elovitch company, the Walla news site, in exchange for government policies that could have benefited the mogul's interests to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
After a previous round of questioning in July, Netanyahu's office said there was no such trade-off.
RAMALLAH, August 17, 2018 (MENA) – The Israeli forces blocked Thursday night the entrances to Nablus, after an Israeli female settler was killed in a hit-and-run incident.
The woman, 42, who was hit by a car in the Havat Gilad area on Thursday, was pronounced dead, Ynetnews reported.
The Palestinian driver, 60, who ran over her has turned himself into the police.
GAZA, August 15, 2018 (Reuters) - Israel allowed commercial goods back into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, in a sign of an easing of tensions as neighbouring Egypt pursued a long-term ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian faction that rules the enclave.
At Israel's Kerem Shalom commercial crossing with Gaza, consignments of fruits and vegetables, fuel and construction material moved into the territory of two million people on Wednesday morning, a Reuters camera crew said.
Israel announced on Tuesday it would lift the commercial goods ban it imposed on July 9 in response to the launching by Palestinians of incendiary balloons across the frontier.
Israel also expanded Gaza's fishing zone, in waters under Israeli naval blockade, from 3 to 9 nautical miles off the southern coast and to six nautical miles in the north, an area closer to the Israeli border, the head of Gaza's fishermen's union said.
Prior restrictions on the import of commercial goods that Israel says could also be used for military purposes remained in effect, a Palestinian border official said. He said they included balloons and tires.
Egypt and the United Nations have been trying to broker a comprehensive truce to prevent more fighting and to ease the deep economic hardship in Gaza.
Hamas officials said Palestinian factions were in Cairo to discuss terms for a ceasefire with Israel, whose security cabinet was due to consider the issue later in the day.
Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who heads the ultranationalist Jewish Home party in the governing coalition, put Netanyahu on notice that his faction would vote against an agreement with Hamas.
RAMALLAH, August 13, 20l8 (MENA) - Israeli forces decided to demolish the house of the family of martyr Mohamed Tareq Dar-Yousef in Kuber town, northwest of Ramallah.
Palestinian sources said the army stormed into the town and hanged a demolition notice on the house's wall and handed over the demolition order to the family's next-door neighbour.
Occupation troops stormed into the house in preparation for razing it to the ground soon.
Dar-Yousef's family has left the town some time ago.
RAMALLAH, Aug 12 , 2018 (MENA) - The Palestinian government called again on the international community to swiftly intervene and press Israel to lift the unjust siege on the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Sunday, Palestinian government spokesman Yousef al Mahmoud said the enclave's warning that daily life was about to collapse necessitates the international community's intervention.
The spokesman said the Israeli occupation and schism among Palestinian factions are the main reasons behind the complicated Palestinian situation, underlining the importance of national unity to overcome the current crisis.
TEL AVIV, Israel, August 12, 2018 (AP) — Members of Israel's Arab minority led a mass protest in central Tel Aviv on Saturday night against a contentious new law that critics say marginalizes the state's non-Jewish citizens.
The rally marked further fallout from the explosive Nation-State law and came a week after thousands of Druze, also members of the Arab minority, packed the same city square last week.
Israel's 1948 declaration of independence defined the country as a Jewish and democratic state and the government says the recently passed bill merely enshrines the country's existing character. But critics say it undercuts Israel's democratic values and sidelines the country's non-Jewish population, namely the Arab community that makes up 20 per cent of the country.
One clause downgrades the Arabic language from official to "special" standing.
Israeli media reported tens of thousands of Jews and Arabs attended the protest. Some Arab protesters waved Palestinian flags and others held signs reading "equality." Some knelt and preformed Muslim prayers.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted footage on Twitter of protesters waving the Palestinian flags. "No better testament to the necessity of the Nation State law," he wrote.
Ayman Odeh, an Arab member of the Israeli parliament, told The Associated Press: "This is the first time that tens of thousands of Arabs have come to Tel Aviv with Jewish democratic groups. They came to say this is not the end of the demonstrations, but the first serious demonstration against the Nation State law."
Many Jewish Israelis, including top retired security officials and politicians, have also harshly criticized the law.
Omar Sultan, from the Arab city of Tira in central Israel, said he was protesting to send a message to Netanyahu.
"This law is against us, against the Arabic language, against peace, against our future in this land, we are the real people of this land, we can't agree on this law," he said.
Israel's Arab citizens enjoy full citizenship rights but face discrimination in some areas of society like jobs and housing. They share the ethnicity and culture of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and often identify with Palestinian nationalism, rather than Israeli.
Tens of thousands of Druze, also members of the Arab minority, packed the same square in the heart of Tel Aviv, Israel's cultural and commercial centre, last week. The Druze are followers of a secretive offshoot of Shiite Islam and are considered fiercely loyal to the state and serve in Israel's military, unlike most of the country's other Arab citizens.
Over the years, members of the Druze community have risen to prominence in the military and in politics. Some Druze have said they feel betrayed by the law and several Druze military officers recently said they would stop serving in response to it, sparking fears of widespread insubordination.

A review of Pitchfork, 1995-present
Here's an excellent history of Pitchfork that explores their influence and success. The grade seems fair.
Although I can't help but think that The Onion already kinda nailed everything that's wrong with Pitchfork.

2018 Job Killer List
Job Killers
The California Chamber of Commerce has released its annual list of job killer bills, calling attention to the negative impact that 28 proposed measures would have on California's job climate and economic recovery should they become law.
"Each bill on this year's job killer list poses a threat to certainty for employers and investors in our state," said CalChamber President and CEO Allan Zaremberg. "Besides undermining the state's economic health, job killer bills have a cumulative negative impact on the businesses and entrepreneurs who provide the resources necessary to fund critical state programs like health care and education. Legislators must measure the impact that each of these proposed new laws will have, not just when the economy is expanding but also when California experiences the inevitable downturn."
CalChamber will periodically release job killer watch updates as legislation changes. Track the current status of the job killer bills on www.cajobkillers.com or follow @CAJobKillers on Twitter.
Job Killers Overview & Top Stories
Sample letters to legislators are available at www.calchambervotes.com.
2018 Job Killer Bills
The list of 2018 job killer bills follows:
AB 1745 (Ting; D-San Francisco) Vehicle Ban — Bans the sale of combustion engine vehicles in the state by prohibiting the registration of a new vehicle in the state after 2040 unless it is a zero emission vehicle. Failed deadline. Assembly Appropriations Committee, 4/27/18.
AB 1761 (Muratsuchi; D-Torrance) Hotel Worker Panic Buttons — Creates unworkable requirements for paid leave, allows for a patchwork of state and local rules and unnecessary signage in regards to providing protection for hotel employees working alone and the provision of panic buttons. Job Killer status removed due to amendments on 05/09/18, but CalChamber remains opposed unless amended.
AB 1902 (Levine; D-San Rafael) Interference with Contracts — Discourages and reduces "personal service contracts" as defined, by unfairly increasing the contract price for these services based upon an undefined and unspecified "area income" rate that presumably will include wages from different industries and different occupations that are not comparable to personal services. It also provides the Department of Industrial Relations with extraordinary authority to value companies, determine "similar services" to be included under the provisions of this bill, and what constitutes "area income." Held in Assembly Appropriations Committee Suspense File, 5/25/18.
AB 2069 (Bonta; D-Oakland) Medical Marijuana in Employment — Undermines employer's ability to provide a safe and drug-free workplace by requiring employers to provide a reasonable accommodation to employees who use marijuana for a disability or medical purposes, exposing employers to costly and unnecessary litigation under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) whenever the employer terminates an employee who has created a safety hazard in the workplace. Held in Assembly Appropriations Committee Suspense File, 5/25/18.
AB 2351 (Eggman; D-Stockton) Targeted Tax on High Earners — Unfairly increases the personal income tax rate from 13.3% – which is already, by far, the highest income tax rate in the country – to 14.3% for one category of taxpayers (including some proprietors), who already pay half of California's income taxes, forcing them to mitigate these costs through means that include reducing workforce, in order to provide more funding for higher education.
AB 2384 (Arambula; D-Kingsburg) Increases Health Care Premiums — Before amendments, increased health care premiums by mandating medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders and by eliminating all quality control and cost containment mechanisms. Job Killer tag removed due to June 14, 2018 amendments, but CalChamber remains opposed.
AB 2447 (Reyes; D-Grand Terrace) Increases Costs and CEQA Litigation — Before amendments, invited more litigation and increased the complexity and cost of CEQA compliance by 1) requiring local agencies to make a finding as to the discriminatory intent or effect of a proposed project, 2) forcing the local agency to incorporate all oral and written comments from the scoping process into the environmental review document regardless of its accuracy or relevancy, and 3) allocating responsibility for identifying what constitutes a "subject land use" for which new notice provisions will apply to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. Amended on 4/26/18 to remove job killer tag. CalChamber remained opposed. Opposition removed after 5/25/18 amendments.
AB 2527 (Muratsuchi; D-Torrance) Costly Litigation Against Small Employers — Exposes small businesses who are seeking financial investors in their company to devastating class action litigation by banning the use of arbitration agreements, which is preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act, prohibiting class action waivers, allowing for the award of treble damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees, and interferes with contractual negotiations between sophisticated parties by dictating the choice of forum and choice of law for such litigation. Failed deadline. Assembly Business and Finance Committee, 4/27/18.
AB 2560 (Thurmond; D-Richmond) Targeted Tax on Contractors — Unfairly targets one category of taxpayers to fund a benefit for all of the state by imposing a tax on contractors for the privilege of doing business with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and requires the contractor to absorb the cost while maintaining a price of lowest responsible bidder. Failed passage in Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee, 4/16/18.
AB 2571 (Gonzalez Fletcher; D-San Diego) Public Employee Retirement Systems Investment Policy — Seeks to publicly shame investment managers and the hospitality companies in which they invest, by forcing them to submit an annual report subject to a public review, that discloses employee wage information according to gender, ethnicity, and race, exposing such companies to costly litigation. Failed deadline. Assembly Public Employees, Retirement, and Social Security Committee, 4/27/18.
AB 2613 (Reyes; D-Grand Terrace) Wage Statement Penalties — Imposes another layer of Labor Code penalties for wage and hour violations in addition to the penalties already available under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and imposes personal liability onto employees who have no control over the actual payment of wages. No vote taken; held on Assembly Floor, 5/29/18.
AB 2765 (Low; D-Campbell) Portable Benefits for The Gig Economy — Imposes onerous and costly mandates on companies in the gig economy labeled as the "digital marketplace" by adding them under the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), expanding the protected classifications under FEHA for contractors of the digital marketplace to include "familial status," and creates further confusion and uncertainty regarding the use and classification of independent contractors. These new mandates will dramatically increase the amount of frivolous litigation under FEHA and the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) for the digital marketplace. Failed deadline. Assembly Labor and Employment Committee, 4/27/18.
AB 3080 (Gonzalez Fletcher; D-San Diego) Ban on Settlement Agreements and Arbitration Agreements — Significantly expands employment litigation and increases costs for employers and employees by banning settlement agreements for labor and employment claims as well as arbitration agreements made as a condition of employment, which is likely preempted under the Federal Arbitration Act and will only delay the resolution of claims. Banning such agreements benefits the trial attorneys, not the employer or employee.
AB 3087 (Kalra; D-San Jose) Health Care Price Controls — Jeopardizes employers' negotiating power and access to care, ignores the drivers of health care costs, and adds another layer of bureaucracy by creating an appointed commission to impose price controls on health care providers and insurers. Held in Assembly Appropriations Committee Suspense File, 5/25/18.
ACA 22 (McCarty; D-Sacramento) Middle Class Fiscal Relief Act — Unnecessarily increases California's 8.84% corporate tax rate, already one of the highest in the nation, to 18.84%, which will encourage companies to leave the state and discourage companies from expanding or relocating here.
SB 993 (Hertzberg; D- Van Nuys) Tax on Services — Imposes a 3% tax on services purchased by businesses in California, with some exceptions, adding another layer of taxes onto California companies, raising costs, and putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
SB 1121 (Dodd; D-Napa) Increased Consumer Litigation — Removes the requirement of economic injury for standing to bring a claim in California against a company for a data breach, undermining the intent of voters, and drastically increasing liability for companies without providing any corresponding benefit to California consumers.
SB 1284 (Jackson; D-Santa Barbara) Disclosure of Company Pay Data — Unfairly requires California employers to submit pay data to the Department of Industrial Relations, creating a false impression of wage discrimination or unequal pay where none exists and, therefore, subjecting employers to unfair public criticism, enforcement measures, and significant litigation costs to defend against meritless claims. Job Killer status removed due to amendments on 08/08/18, but CalChamber remains opposed.
SB 1300 (Jackson; D-Santa Barbara) Significant Expansion of Harassment Discrimination and Retaliation Liability — Significantly increases litigation by allowing a plaintiff to sue for failure to prevent harassment or discrimination when no harassment or discrimination occurs, limits the use of severance agreements, and prohibits the use of a general release or nondisparagement clause in employer/employee contracts.
SB 1398 (Skinner; D-Berkeley) Increased Tax Rate — Threatens to significantly increase the corporate tax rate on publicly held corporations and financial institutions up to 15% according to the wages paid to employees in the United States, and threatens to increase that rate by 50% thereafter, if the corporation or institution reduces its workforce in the United States and simultaneously increases its contractors.
AB 127 (Committee on Budget) Threatens Energy Reliability — Threatens energy reliability and will lead to the elimination of jobs by mandating the closure of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.
ACA 4 (Aguiar-Curry; D-Winters) Lowers Vote Requirement for New Tax Increases — Unnecessarily reduces the voter threshold from two-thirds to 55% for local governments to enact special taxes, including parcel taxes, for the purpose of improving public infrastructure and affordable housing, which creates an opportunity for discriminatory and higher taxes to be imposed against disfavored industries and commercial property owners.
ACA 11 (Caballero; D-Salinas) Targeted Retail Industry Tax Increase — Exposes the retail industry to increased taxes by imposing a quarter-cent sales tax increase to fund affordable housing and homeless shelters, without creating greatly needed market rate housing.
SB 49 (de León; D-Los Angeles) Creates Uncertainty and Increases Potential Litigation Regarding Environmental Standards — Creates uncertainty by giving broad and sweeping discretion to State agencies to adopt rules and regulations more stringent than the federal rules and regulations in effect on January 19, 2017 through an expedited administrative procedure without public participation or input, when the State agencies determine that federal action leads to less stringent laws and regulations than those in effect on January 19, 2017; and increases the potential for costly litigation by creating private rights of action under California law, which may be triggered when a State agency takes the foregoing discretionary action. Assembly Rules Committee, 9/12/17.
SB 538 (Monning; D-Carmel) Arbitration Discrimination — Unfairly and unlawfully discriminates against arbitration agreements by restricting the formation of antitrust arbitration agreements in hospital contracts, leading to costly litigation over preemption by the Federal Arbitration Act. Former Job Killer, amended on 6/11/18. CalChamber has no position.
SB 562 (Lara; D-Bell Gardens) Government-Run Health Care — Penalizes responsible employers and individuals and results in significant new taxes on all Californians and California businesses by creating a new single-payer government-run, multibillion-dollar health care system financed by an unspecified and undeveloped "revenue plan." Failed Deadline; Assembly Desk 7/14/17.
SB 774 (Leyva; D-Chino) Increased Permitting Fees and Delayed Permitting — Exposes permittees to unknown, increased fees by providing the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) a blank check to impose additional fees on permittees to implement and perform its statutory requirements when its primary sources of funding have structural deficits and creates substantial uncertainty and delay of facility permitting by interjecting a new board into the organizational structure. Assembly Inactive File, 9/14/17.
SCA 6 (Wiener; D-San Francisco) Lowers Vote Requirement for Tax Increases — Unnecessarily reduces the voter threshold from two-thirds to 55% for local governments to enact special taxes, including parcel taxes, for the purpose of providing transportation services, which creates an opportunity for discriminatory and higher taxes to be imposed against disfavored industries and commercial property owners.
