United States District Court, E.D. Virginia, Richmond Division
August 15, 2014
ANDREW CHIEN, Appellant,v.RICHARD J. FREER, Appellees.
HENRY E. HUDSON, District Judge
In this case, Appellant Andrew Chien ("Chien") appeals the Dismissal Order entered on July 1, 2013 by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ("the Bankruptcy Court") granting Appellees' motions to strike/dismiss.
The Dismissal Order is a final order of the Bankruptcy Court, therefore this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1). Under Rule 8013 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, a bankruptcy court is accorded deference and the findings of fact must only be set aside when clearly erroneous. Fed.R.Bankr.P. 8013. Therefore, the district court may reverse the bankruptcy court under the clearly erroneous standard only when the court has a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." Anderson v. Bessemer City , 470 U.S. 564, 575 (1985) (citation omitted). At the same time, the district court reviews the conclusions of law de novo. Humboldt Express, Inc. v. Wise Co. (In re Apex Express Corp.) , 190 F.3d 624, 630 (1999).
In its Memorandum Opinion, the Bankruptcy Court detailed the underlying case history and Chien's involvement in the matter.[1] The Court finds that the following facts, as found by the Bankruptcy Court, reflect the pertinent record for the appeal in this matter.
Fornova Pharmworld, Inc. ("Fornova") timely filed a proof of claim in the underlying bankruptcy case of Debtor Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. ("CBI"). In February 2012, CBI commenced an adversary proceeding against Fornova thereby objecting to the claim it had filed in CBI's case as unfounded. On March 15, 2012, Chien, purportedly acting as a "trustee" for Fornova, filed a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding.
Under Local Bankruptcy Rule 9010-1, because Fornova is a corporate entity and Chien is not an attorney, he was not entitled to act on Fornova's behalf. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court issued a deficiency notice thereby informing Chien that corporations are required to be represented by counsel. In spite of the notice, Chien appeared before the court for a scheduled pretrial conference on the adversary proceeding on March 20, 2012. At that conference, Chien was again advised that he must retain counsel to represent Fornova.
Chien continued to ignore the Bankruptcy Court's directive by filing a Motion to Intervene and appeared at a hearing conducted on April 25, 2012. At the hearing, the court again rejected Chien's attempt to personally represent Fornova and informed him that an interest in a corporation does not confer standing to appear on its behalf in a bankruptcy case. Chien was admonished and instructed to hire counsel to represent Fornova's interests. By an order of the court entered on May 1, 2012, Chien's Motion to Intervene was stricken and the court ordered Chien not to appear or file pleadings on behalf of Fornova except through counsel.
Chien continued to file pleadings on behalf of Fornova. The court therefore entered an order to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and sanctioned for his conduct. Chien responded with a pleading and appeared at the show cause hearing. After considering Chien's pleadings, his testimony at the hearing, and the previous directives and admonitions of the Bankruptcy Court and other courts, the court concluded that Chien's actions constituted a willful and wanton disregard for its rules and orders. In a July 27, 2012 order, the court found Chien in contempt and imposed sanctions, in addition to denying Chien's preemptive Rule 59 motion filed following the show cause hearing. The order again prohibited Chien from appearing or filing pleadings on behalf of Fornova.
On August 21, 2012, CBI moved for default judgment against Fornova in the adversary proceeding. Following the clerk's entry of default, a trial was conducted on September 11, 2012. On October 5, 2012, the court entered an order granting judgment by default, and disallowing and expunging the Fornova claim. Several days later, Chien improperly filed a notice of appeal.
Following CBI's filing of its plan of reorganization and disclosure statement, Chien attempted to amend the previously expunged Fornova claim by filing a document on December 17, 2012. A few weeks later he filed a second pleading again attempting to amend the expunged claim, arguing that he had recently purchased a note from Fornova that had been made by CBI. Purporting to act now on his own behalf as a noteholder, Chien filed additional pleadings on January 29, 2013, requesting various relief including a motion to suabstitute himself for Fornova.
The court heard evidence on the request to be substituted for Fornova and denied Chien's request. Based on the denial of the motion to substitute, the court found that Chien lacked standing to argue any remaining matters raised in his pleadings. Chien's remaining motions for relief were denied by orders issued on March 4 and 20, 2013.
On March 29, 2013, the court entered an order confirming CBI's amended plan of reorganization. Chien than belatedly filed a motion stay the case pending his appeal of the previous order denying his request to convert the case to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Several weeks later, he filed an another pleading seeking additional relief. The court held a hearing and denied all of Chien's motions.
On April 26, 2013, Chien filed the underlying Complaint in this matter. On May 29, 2013, the Appellees each filed a Motion to Strike and/or Dismiss. The Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on the matter on June 29, 2013, and granted the motions on July 1, 2013, thereby dismissing Chien's Complaint. See Chien v. Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc., et al. (In re Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc.) 2013 Bankr. LEXIS 2673 (E.D. Va. July 1, 2013). Chien now attempts to revive the Complaint through appeal to this Court.
The Bankruptcy Court dismissed the Complaint finding that Chien is not a proper plaintiff to prosecute the lawsuit, either in his purported capacity as an interest or noteholder or in his individual capacity. Pursuant to Rule 17 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, incorporated by Rule 7017 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, "[a]n action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest." A "real party in interest" is one "who possesses the right to enforce the claim" as determined according to substantive law. Va. Elec. &Power Co. v. Westinghouse Elec. Corp. , 485 F.2d 78, 83 (4th Cir. 1973); see also Roslyn Savings Bank v. Comcoach Corp. (In re Comcoach Corp.) , 698 F.2d 571, 573 (2d Cir. 1983) ("Generally, the real party in interest' is the one who, under the applicable ...

Two hot jocks go back to the showers after a hard day on the baseball field. They are covered in sweat, stinky and in need of a wash. They strip off next to each other, and each man can't help but admire the hard, toned body and full jock strap on his friend. The men's homosexual lust gets too much for them, and one guy leans over, pulling his buddy's prick out of his jock strap and sucking it to the base. This guy really is an excellent cock sucker, getting the dick slick with saliva and expertly using a combination of hand, lips and tongue to drive his friend to the brink of orgasm. He gets a mouthful of sticky semen for his trouble.

After sports practice, two horny homosexual teammates stay back after everyone else has left. It's finally their chance to be alone and to do disgusting and degenerate things to one another. The bottom bitch goes down on his dominant boyfriend, sucking his cock to the base and then lying on his back on the table so that his friend can sodomise him in missionary position. Halfway through the anal encounter, the coach walks in, having forgotten something. He is initially stunned when he sees the hardcore sodomy happening in front of him, but he soon recovers, pushing his team member out of the way and giving the bottom bitch a good fucking.

After practice, these two football jocks retired to the bathroom to start cleaning up. While in the stall, one of them noticed a glory hole, and stuck his dick through it. Who knew that the other guy would get on his knees and start sucking him off? And who knew that after he licked every last inch of that cock until it was swollen that he would open his asshole up for it? He pushed back on it to get it as deep as he could to feel the heat of that cock inside of him. The jock finally left the stall to get all the way inside the other guy, as he rode him on the floor of the bathroom. He pulled out and shot his load all over himself.

See what a little horseplay in the locker room can cause? These two jocks were getting all wet after wrestling around, but once they got a look at each other's pieces, they were thinking more about getting dirty than getting clean. The brunette guy got on his knees and started sucking off the blonde guy, and he immediately got rock hard from how good it felt. He then offered up his asshole to him, letting him soap it up before getting him to slide bareback inside his butt. He stroked himself while getting fucked, as his own prick was quite stiff, and they both easily came from the hot gay action that just went down in the shower.

Joey Landis wants to introduce Christian Cox to his massive pork-sword, but hasn't had him alone and to himself long enough until now. Getting him naked and touching him all over in his apartment, Christian gets the idea pretty quickly and pulls Joey's penis out for a quick go with his tongue before getting him naked too so they can really play! A little rimming is in order after the oral to get their asses good and wet and lubricated before they go balls deep in one another. Plowing hard, the jizz comes fast, and gets everywhere!

Fernando Montoya can smell his desperation, and decides to cash in on his good luck, but so does another man. Both men work their charms to get Kirk's clothes off and it works. Once their jeans and shirts hit the floor lips lock around wangs and heads start bobbing away, getting them all ready for the real fun. These boys start into the hardcore ass action with all the lust in their loins, riding their bodies to the limit and blasting man-juice all over each other!

Wrestling is an extremely homoerotic sport at the best of times, and when you have a couple of hot body guys getting naked in the shower after practice, you just know that all hell is going to break loose! Erik and Luciano watch each other as they bathe, paying special attention to each others' dicks. Leaving the water running, Erik gets down on his knees while Luciano goes down on him, swallowing his dick right then and there in the bathroom. They have to hurry in case their teammates walk in, so they quickly eat out each others' butts and then bend over for some hot anal sex. They do it right there on the bathroom floor – very dirty!

Ora Group Offer Growth Tips For Small Businesses
Growing a sustainable business comes down to whether or not you can satisfy customers and make them feel valued when they interact with your company. Attracting customers the first time is the easy part. Winning them over as your loyal customers, so they don't think of going anywhere else is the sustainability factor. Managing director Obi Shorinwa of Ora Group understands just how important it is to stay customer focused when growing your business and he looks at ways in which business owners can ensure prosperous growth for their company.
First of all, if your business has customers contacting you with queries and questions about your service, or if you have a front of house person who acts as the face of your business, be it face to face or over the telephone, you must sell excellent customer service and leave a positive impression. Ora Group understands that your customers will come back time and time again if they come to like and trust you based on those interactions with your business. As a business owner, you have the opportunity to train your staff to go not the whole extra mile and provide a second to none customer service experience.
Secondly, studies have said that entrepreneurs are usually motivated by freedom and creativity when starting their business venture, and just like Ora Group, business owners will set out with a purpose in mind, this pushes them to work their business around this very idea. You may want your business to provide a high-end service, so you consistently monitor and find ways to improve your business's appearance. Or maybe you are determined to run a business which promotes and sells fun and creativity, so you make every business decision end with the fun factor, either way, you should always keep your purpose in mind as this will avoid falling off track and forgetting what your soul intentions were when you began your enterprise. "This way you will avoid losing your passion and you will continue to grow your business as a happy and excited entrepreneur," says managing director Obi Shorinwa of Ora Group.

A few decades late and 12+ children short, I am trying to learn to be reasonable in the amounts of food I cook, but still enjoy trying to use everything we buy. We do our groceries twice a month instead of once a week now and I find we spend less, strangely enough. It's also a bit more challenging to plan out, it seems I always forget some crucial ingredient, but it forces me to be flexible and creative.
I keep a few recipes up my sleeve that are good at using up leftovers of various meats and veggies. Soups, stews, pasta sauce, etc. B's mom has a rather infamous recipe she refers to as 'Garbage Cake' where she basically uses up a bunch of leftover fruits and such to make a dessert. I've started referring to some of my creations as Cream of Refrigerator soup as leftover veggies and stocks are thrown together in strange and unusual ways.
Another recipe that is extremely easy to make and can turn leftover meat and/or veg into a fantastic dish is quiche. When I lived in California, I'll admit I never really got into quiche. It was something that you only found places that were trying to be snooty and upscale, not something you routinely found on the dinner table at home. Since moving here, however, I've developed a fondness for it, especially since I discovered how easy it is to make. It's also really lovely as a warmer weather dish as you can eat it warm or cool, with a nice bit of salad on the side.
I start with the Fool-proof Pie Dough and press it into a pie dish. Throw that in a 350 F oven to bake (until beginning to brown, about 15-20 minutes) while I prepare the filling. This recipe can also be done crust-less by simply buttering the pie dish and dusting with corn meal, then filling as usual. The basics of a quiche filling are:
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups milk or soy milk
- 2 cups cheese, grated (cheddar or emmenthal are good basics)
- 2 cups total of any of the following:
- meat, cooked and chopped: bacon, ham, sausage, deli meat, chicken, turkey, duck, salmon, shrimp, etc. (you can also use meat substitutes as well)
- veggies, cooked and chopped: green onions, caramelized onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, fresh herbs, etc.
Beat the eggs with a fork and adding a pinch of salt. Salt helps break down the protein (albumen) in egg whites and gives you a smoother beaten egg. Whisk in the milk and a third of the cheese. You can also season at this point... stick with salt and pepper or get adventurous... it really depends on the ingredients you're using. If you will be adding meats such as ham or bacon, go easy on the salt as they will add quite a bit to the dish on their own. Once the pie shell is ready, simply sprinkle a bit of cheese on the bottom, top with the meat/veg, then pour the egg mixture on top. I give a good stir with a fork to make sure the egg, cheese and veg are evenly distributed, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. All of this goes back in the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes... it will depend on the type of pie dish you use (both size and material) and the filling. Keep an eye on it, you want a top that is puffy and browned, as the cheese will form a nice bubbly crust on top.
Once done, let it cool at least 10 minutes before serving, if serving warm. Much like a steak, if you cut into a quiche right out of the oven, you'll find it fairly watery. Let it rest a few minutes before cutting/serving. If making it ahead to serve chilled, simply cool completely then cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until meal time. Serve alone or with a green salad, also makes great leftovers.

Five months ago, the Israel Electric Corporation spoke to Interior Minister Aryeh Deri of three possible ways to provide religious Jews with electricity that involves no chillul Shabbos. The Chazon Ish's famous ruling that it is forbidden to use regular electricity on Shabbos in Eretz Yisroel has inspired 100,000 families to use their own batteries or generators for Shabbos electricity.
Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev have set up a committee to develop a new idea: every Israeli town with a large religious population will have its own generator. This would be linked to the national electricity network during the week and disconnected on Shabbos.

Other causes include the hormonal changes which take place around the menopause and at adolescence. Polycystic ovaries (PCO) is a common medical condition in which some women have increased facial hair associated with weight problems, acne, and irregular periods. Some prescription medicines and contraceptive pills can cause increase facial hair. Less common hormone abnormalities of the thyroid and adrenal glands can cause the problem.
It is important women who are worried by facial hair see their doctors. Doctors may want to carry out investigations and tests to find the cause of the problem. There may be prescription medicines, including tablets, which may help. Women should not use Vaniqa without first being checked and advised by their own doctors.
Most NHS doctors do not prescribe Vaniqa, in part because of the cost.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title="Treatment" tab_id="1416382007-2-37″][vc_column_text]Our doctor can prescribe Vaniqa cream for unwanted facial hair. Most NHS doctors do not prescribe Vaniqa, in part because of the cost.
How it works
Vaniqa contains the active ingredient eflornithine, which penetrates to the base of hair follicles. It affects an enzyme which plays a part in hair growth, reducing new hair growth. Vaniqa is well suited for use with hair removal products and procedures. Other prescribed medicines and tablets to reduce hair growth can be taken at the same time.
Vaniqa is used in the region of the top lip and around the chin. One 60 gram tube will normally last two months.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title="Usage Instructions" tab_id="1416403114569-2-5″][vc_column_text]Vaniqa is applied twice daily and is rubbed-in to areas of increased hair growth, usually the top lip and under the chin. Vaniqa is not for use on other parts of the body, where it is unlikely to be effective.
It takes time for Vaniqa to work. Improvement may be seen after 8 weeks, although it can take up to 4 months. If, after 4 months there is no improvement, Vaniqa should be stopped.
Vaniqa slows down the growth of new hair. It is not a hair remover and does not cause hair to fall out. For this reason, hair removal techniques and products should be continued at the same time. This could include: shaving, laser, electrolysis, plucking or depilatory (hair-remover) applications.
Vaniqa is only effective if its use is continued. After Vaniqa cream is stopped, its effects wear off after about 8 weeks.
Vaniqa does not replace other prescription medicines and tablets, and these should NOT be stopped without talking to a doctor.

Coordination Communication
Don't Be Surprised
He grew up Adventist but hadn't been to church in years. His buddies at work knew of his Adventist background. So when they saw the ad in the newspaper inviting people to come back to the local Adventist church, they taped the ad over his work computer monitor while he was out. In the corner of the page they wrote these words to this inactive member, "They want you back Jim." This was the prompting Jim needed and that next Sabbath he visited his old church again.
This Sabbath, November 21, is Welcome Home Sabbath in churches across North America. We've been promoting this throughout the year and I know a number of your are doing something special this weekend. Don't be surprised to see those you least expected to walk through your doors!
And no matter what Sabbath or week-day event you have chosen to build bridges to your inactively attending members, I know God will use those initiatives to break down walls and create a reconnection again. Know that I am praying for what you are doing.
Would you do me a favor? Let me hear some of your experiences from this weekend or whenever you have a welcome back event? I'd like new stories to tell, just like Jim's!

It was close to 1 pm when Kenny called the meeting of the Tulsa Atheist Meetup to order. Kenny said he had purchased a canopy to be used at the Free Tulsa Music Festival next weekend to be held in the vicinity of Cain's Ballroom. The portion due from HAT will be $66.67. A two-day ticket to attend the Festival will cost $15, but those working at the Festival get in free. Ticket price includes a t-shirt. Kenny said he would like to have more volunteers.
Our group will have a prime spot among the vendors. We will have two canopy tents. I assume the other tent will be that of HAT. If you intend to work the first part of either day, please be there at 2:30 pm.
The mid-month social gathering will be held at the Delta Café. A poll was taken to see how many people lived close to which Delta Café. The results were split almost evenly among the two locations. Check the TAM web site to find which location will be the one chosen.
Next Will spoke to the group. He is sponsoring the Atheist Hotline. He said our group now is on Facebook.
Nick Singer, president of Oklahoma Atheists, addressed our group. He said his group is made up mostly of young people who are activists. Plans for a gathering of both groups in Stroud could not be worked out, he said.
Next, Stan Young addressed the group. He spoke about a book titled Three Lives of a Warrior written by Phil Butler. He also referred to a Dana French, whose name I Googled. There were several people by this name, so if Mr. Young would like to include something about Mr. French, I invite Mr. Young to add it by attaching a comment to this blog entry.
Next, Bill Dusenberry spoke to the group. Bill spoke on the Boy Scouts issue and the hospitals issue. He mentioned that around September 1 a billboard will be erected calling attention to the fact that Oklahoma at one time had an atheist representing us in the U.S. Senate. He mentioned that Freethought Radio is available at AM 540. Dan Barker or Anne Laurie Gaylor will be making a trip to Tulsa in conjunction with a billboard to be erected at approximately 14th and the BA Expy. Plans are in the works to bring Rob Boston to Tulsa.
There was some discussion of 12-step recovery programs, the Secular Organization for Sobriety, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Three videos or books were cited by advocates within our group: Decoding the Language of God, Veiled Atrocities, and Why We Fight.
There was some discussion of our library and the absence of our librarian.
These are the highlights that caught my attention. As always, you are welcome to add your own comments by using the comment feature below

Short film from The Verge:
It's good to be reminded of the burning Cuyahoga River, from time to time. As a great example of EPA's successes, the the Cuyahoga has not caught fire for many years.

In an era when our president and Congress appear unable to deal with one issue on a good day, it may be instructive to look back to a day upon which one U.S. President handled a lot, all at once.
On August 4, 1964, President Johnson awoke to the news that two U.S. Navy ships cruising in the Tonkin Gulf had been fired upon by North Vietnamese Navy gunboats; then the FBI called and announced that the bodies of three civil rights workers had been found, young men registering African Americans to vote in Mississippi. Both of these events rumble through history like a Rocky Mountain avalanche to today; either was a make-or-break event for any presidency.
Lyndon Johnson dealt with them both, the same day. And though Vietnam did not turn out for the best, it's useful to note that Johnson's call for Congress to grant authority to act on the Tonkin incident got results just three days later.
Sadly we note that Stephen Stucky, the composer of this great piece, died of brain cancer on February 14, 2016.
"August 4, 1964," is an oratorio covering a remarkable and fantastic coincidence in the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. On that day, the bodies of three civil rights workers who had been missing for nearly seven weeks, were found in shallow graves near Philadelphia, Mississippi — they were the victims of violence aimed at stopping blacks from voting. The incident was a chief spur to the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
And also on that day, the U.S.S. Maddox reported it had been attacked by gunboats of the North Vietnamese Navy, in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Gulf of Tonkin incident led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson the authority to expand and escalate the war in Vietnam, which he did.
The Dallas Symphony commissioned the work, from composer Steven Stucky and librettist Gene Scheer, in commemoration of President Johnson's 100th birth anniversary — he would have been 100 on August 27, 2008. The works were premiered in Dallas in 2008.
The music is outstanding, especially for a modern piece. The Dallas Symphony played at its flashiest and most sober best, under the baton of new conductor Jaap van Zweden. It was a spectacular performance. According to the New York Times:
Mr. van Zweden, hailed in his debut as music director a week before, scored another triumph here. And the orchestra's assured and gritty performance was rivaled by that of the large Dallas Symphony Chorus, both corporately and individually, in shifting solo snippets charting the course of the fateful day.
The strong cast, mildly amplified, was robustly led by the Johnson of Robert Orth, last heard as another president in John Adams's "Nixon in China" in Denver in June. Laquita Mitchell and Kelley O'Conner, wearing period hats, were touching as Mrs. Chaney and Mrs. Goodman. Understandably, the taxing role of a high-strung McNamara took a small toll on the tenor of Vale Rideout in his late aria.
The entire thing deserves more commentary, perhaps soon. There is stellar history in the choral piece. And there is this: Consider that Lyndon Johnson, the best legislator and second most-effective executive we ever had as president, got hit with these two crises the same day. On the one hand the nation got the Voting Rights Act, the Fair Housing Act, executive orders and government support to end segregation and the evils it created. On the other hand, we got stuck with the disaster of the Vietnam War.
How would the nation fared had a lesser person been in the White House on that day?
(August 4 is a busy, busy day in history; much to think about.)
As it came to me. Similar to a module we used to use in Orrin Hatch speeches back in the Pleistocene (probably would have gotten him voted out if he used the old module now, let alone this one).
Why do this usually come with no author, or "author unknown?" I've tracked it down to Crooks and Liars and a recitation by Thom Hartmann, who attributes it to a guy named John Gray in Cincinnati, in 2004. Is that right?
A Day In the Life of Joe Republican
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance – now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.
If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FDIC [FSLIC] because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.
The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
Thom Hartmann recites:
Didn't sleep well over the weekend. Maybe I should have gone camping with the Scouts in the cold at Camp Wisdom — I always sleep better out of doors, in a tent.
But I fell asleep waiting for the weather forecast, wading through another round of news in which, it seems, Santayana's Ghost is telling us too many people, especially conservatives, did not study history adequately. We may have to repeat some of the ugly lessons of history.
Does anyone remember the SS St. Louis? No one remembers when the braceros from Mexico flooded over the border to take up the hoes and plows, and harvest buckets, when our men were at war beating back a Fascist horde? No one remembers the difficulty America had getting war materials from one coast where it was stockpiled, to the other coast where it was needed, and Dwight Eisenhower's doubling down on the national debt to build a road system that would sustain us in war?
No one remembers?
It wasn't Santayana who shook me awake, though. It wasn't the Spanish-born Harvard professor, but a Boston-born Harvard student, with that Boston Brahmin accent.
"Can you get a message to Mr. Obama?" he asked me.
I blinked. I didn't speak.
Dickens didn't get it quite right, I thought. I can close my eyes and this apparition disappears.
But I couldn't close my eyes.
"The torch isn't burned out. If there is not a willing torch bearer to take it up, it can't be passed," he said.
I wondered what in the hell he was talking about. I heard a horse's galloping hooves and a warning. It was after midnight I assumed; I couldn't make out the warning. Was that the same Boston accent?
"There's a dark path still ahead. He'll have to run it on his own, for a while longer."
A podium appeared, and the apparition stepped behind it, and smiled. I almost recognized the room. A luncheon. Reporters. I found myself in that balcony upstairs where I'd often sat during my tour of DC, having not paid for the lunch (Orrin Hatch always pinched pennies). Late again, I missed the introduction.
His chin held high, he stared straight at me. My midnight ideas notebook was open to a blank page, and I fumbled for a pen. Did I imagine that gibberish squeal that an audio tape makes when it's rewound?
I missed some joke. The audience below me laughed. The apparition, more solid than before but faded in color, nodded as I understood he meant I should take notes. If it was a dream, surely his voice would not be so clear. He looked briefly at his notes, smiled, then got a serious look on his face as he surveyed the crowd.
The modern presidential campaign covers every issue in and out of the platform from cranberries to creation. But the public is rarely alerted to a candidate's views about the central issue on which all the rest turn. That central issue — and the point of my comments this noon — is not the farm problem or defense or India. It is the presidency itself.
Cranberries? It's close to Thanksgiving. Oh! The cranberry scare! I remember that Thanksgiving we swore off the things. Some pesticide issue — I was a child — I strained to recall the details. We lived in Burley, Idaho, then. It must have been the early 1960s. Some message about pesticides? I wondered.
Of course a candidate's views on specific policies are important, but Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft shared policy views with entirely different results in the White House. Of course it is important to elect a good man with good intentions, but Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding were both good men with good intentions; so were Lincoln and Buchanan; but there is a Lincoln Room in the White House and no Buchanan Room.
Campaigns. We just ended one. Does this guy know what he's talking about? How weary we are?
The history of this Nation — its brightest and its bleakest pages — has been written largely in terms of the different views our Presidents have had of the Presidency itself. This history ought to tell us that the American people in 1960 have an imperative right to know what any man bidding for the Presidency thinks about the place he is bidding for, whether he is aware of and willing to use the powerful resources of that office; whether his model will be Taft or Roosevelt, Wilson or Harding.
Not since the days of Woodrow Wilson has any candidate spoken on the presidency itself before the votes have been irrevocably cast. Let us hope that the 1960 campaign, in addition to discussing the familiar issues where our positions too often blur, will also talk about the presidency itself, as an instrument for dealing with those issues, as an office with varying roles, powers, and limitations
During the past 8 years, we have seen one concept of the Presidency at work. Our needs and hopes have been eloquently stated — but the initiative and follow-through have too often been left to others. And too often his own objectives have been lost by the President's failure to override objections from within his own party, in the Congress or even in his Cabinet.
The American people in 1952 and 1956 may have preferred this detached, limited concept of the Presidency after 20 years of fast-moving, creative Presidential rule. Perhaps historians will regard this as necessarily one of those frequent periods of consolidation, a time to draw breath, to recoup our national energy. To quote the state of the Union message: "No Congress . . . on surveying the state of the Nation, has met with a more pleasing prospect than that which appears at the present time."
Unfortunately this is not Mr. Eisenhower's last message to the Congress, but Calvin Coolidge's. He followed to the White House Mr. Harding, whose sponsor declared very frankly that the times did not demand a first-rate President. If true, the times and the man met.
But the question is what do the times — and the people — demand for the next 4 years in the White House?
They demand a vigorous proponent of the national interest — not a passive broker for conflicting private interests. They demand a man capable of acting as the commander in chief of the Great Alliance, not merely a bookkeeper who feels that his work is done when the numbers on the balance sheet come even. They demand that he be the head of a responsible party, not rise so far above politics as to be invisible — a man who will formulate and fight for legislative policies, not be a casual bystander to the legislative process.
Today a restricted concept of the Presidency is not enough. For beneath today's surface gloss of peace and prosperity are increasingly dangerous, unsolved, long postponed problems — problems that will inevitably explode to the surface during the next 4 years of the next administration — the growing missile gap, the rise of Communist China, the despair of the underdeveloped nations, the explosive situations in Berlin and in the Formosa Straits, the deterioration of NATO, the lack of an arms control agreement, and all the domestic problems of our farms, cities, and schools.
This administration has not faced up to these and other problems. Much has been said — but I am reminded of the old Chinese proverb: "There is a great deal of noise on the stairs but nobody comes into the room."
The President's state of the Union message reminded me of the exhortation from "King Lear" but goes: "I will do such things — what they are I know not . . . but they shall be the wonders of the earth."
In the decade that lies ahead — in the challenging revolutionary sixties — the American Presidency will demand more than ringing manifestoes issued from the rear of the battle. It will demand that the President place himself in the very thick of the fight, that he care passionately about the fate of the people he leads, that he be willing to serve them, at the risk of incurring their momentary displeasure.
Whatever the political affiliation of our next President, whatever his views may be on all the issues and problems that rush in upon us, he must above all be the Chief Executive in every sense of the word. He must be prepared to exercise the fullest powers of his office — all that are specified and some that are not. He must master complex problems as well as receive one-page memorandums. He must originate action as well as study groups. He must reopen channels of communication between the world of thought and the seat of power.
Ulysses Grant considered the President "a purely administrative officer." If he administered the government departments efficiently, delegated his functions smoothly, and performed his ceremonies of state with decorum and grace, no more was to be expected of him. But that is not the place the Presidency was meant to have in American life. The President is alone, at the top — the loneliest job there is, as Harry Truman has said.
If there is destructive dissension among the services, he alone can step in and straighten it out — instead of waiting for unanimity. If administrative agencies are not carrying out their mandate — if a brushfire threatens some part of the globe — he alone can act, without waiting for the Congress. If his farm program fails, he alone deserves the blame, not his Secretary of Agriculture.
"The President is at liberty, both in law and conscience, to be as big a man as he can." So wrote Prof. Woodrow Wilson. But President Woodrow Wilson discovered that to be a big man in the White House inevitably brings cries of dictatorship.
So did Lincoln and Jackson and the two Roosevelts. And so may the next occupant of that office, if he is the man the times demand. But how much better it would be, in the turbulent sixties, to have a Roosevelt or a Wilson than to have another James Buchanan, cringing in the White House, afraid to move.
Nor can we afford a Chief Executive who is praised primarily for what he did not do, the disasters he prevented, the bills he vetoed — a President wishing his subordinates would produce more missiles or build more schools. We will need instead what the Constitution envisioned: a Chief Executive who is the vital center of action in our whole scheme of Government.
This includes the legislative process as well. The President cannot afford — for the sake of the office as well as the Nation — to be another Warren G. Harding, described by one backer as a man who "would when elected, sign whatever bill the Senate sent him — and not send bills for the Senate to pass." Rather he must know when to lead the Congress when to consult it and when he should act alone.
Having served 14 years in the legislative branch, I would not look with favor upon its domination by the Executive. Under our government of "power as the rival of power," to use Hamilton's phrase, Congress must not surrender its responsibilities. But neither should it dominate. However large its share in the formulation of domestic programs, it is the President alone who must make the major decisions of our foreign policy.
That is what the Constitution wisely commands. And even domestically, the President must initiate policies and devise laws to meet the needs of the Nation. And he must be prepared to use all the resources of his office to ensure the enactment of that legislation — even when conflict is the result.
By the end of his term Theodore Roosevelt was not popular in the Congress — particularly when he criticized an amendment to the Treasury appropriation which forbade the use of Secret Service men to investigate Congressmen.
And the feeling was mutual, Roosevelt saying: "I do not much admire the Senate because it is such a helpless body when efficient work is to be done."
And Woodrow Wilson was even more bitter after his frustrating quarrels. Asked if he might run for the Senate in 1920, he replied: "Outside of the United States, the Senate does not amount to a damn. And inside the United States the Senate is mostly despised. They haven't had a thought down there in 50 years."
But, however bitter their farewells, the facts of the matter are that Roosevelt and Wilson did get things done — not only through their Executive powers but through the Congress as well. Calvin Coolidge, on the other hand, departed from Washington with cheers of Congress still ringing in his ears. But when his World Court bill was under fire on Capitol Hill he sent no message, gave no encouragement to the bill's leaders, and paid little or no attention to the whole proceeding — and the cause of world justice was set back.
To be sure, Coolidge had held the usual White House breakfasts with congressional leaders — but they were aimed, as he himself said, at "good fellowship," not a discussion of "public business." And at his press conferences, according to press historians, where he preferred to talk about the local flower show and its exhibits, reporters who finally extracted from him a single sentence — "I'm against that bill" — would rush to file tongue-in-cheek dispatches claiming that: "President Coolidge, in a fighting mood, today served notice on Congress that he intended to combat, with all the resources at his command, the pending bill . . ."
But in the coming months we will need a real fighting mood in the White House — a man who will not retreat in the face of pressure from his congressional leaders — who will not let down those supporting his views on the floor. Divided Government over the past 6 years has only been further confused by this lack of legislative leadership. To restore it next year will help restore purpose to both the Presidency and the Congress.
The facts of the matter are that legislative leadership is not possible without party leadership, in the most political sense — and Mr. Eisenhower prefers to stay above politics (although a weekly news magazine last fall reported the startling news, and I quote, that "President Eisenhower is emerging as a major political figure"). When asked early in his first term, how he liked the "game of politics," he replied with a frown that his questioner was using a derogatory phrase. "Being President," he said, "is a very great experience . . . but the word 'politics' . . . I have no great liking for that."
But no President, it seems to me, can escape politics. He has not only been chosen by the Nation — he has been chosen by his party. And if he insists that he is "President of all the people" and should, therefore, offend none of them — if he blurs the issues and differences between the parties — if he neglects the party machinery and avoids his party's leadership — then he has not only weakened the political party as an instrument of the democratic process — he has dealt a blow to the democratic process itself.
I prefer the example of Abe Lincoln, who loved politics with the passion of a born practitioner. For example, he waited up all night in 1863 to get the crucial returns on the Ohio governorship. When the Unionist candidate was elected, Lincoln wired: "Glory God in the highest. Ohio has saved the Nation."
But the White House is not only the center of political leadership. It must be the center of moral leadership — a "bully pulpit," as Theodore Roosevelt described it. For only the President represents the national interest. And upon him alone converge all the needs and aspirations of all parts of the country, all departments of the Government, all nations of the world.
It is not enough merely to represent prevailing sentiment — to follow McKinley's practice, as described by Joe Cannon, of "keeping his ear so close to the ground he got it full of grasshoppers." We will need in the sixties a President who is willing and able to summon his national constituency to its finest hour — to alert the people to our dangers and our opportunities — to demand of them the sacrifices that will be necessary. Despite the increasing evidence of a lost national purpose and a soft national will, F.D.R.'s words in his first inaugural still ring true: "In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory."
Roosevelt fulfilled the role of moral leadership. So did Wilson and Lincoln, Truman and Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt. They led the people as well as the Government — they fought for great ideals as well as bills. And the time has come to demand that kind of leadership again.
And so, as this vital campaign begins, let us discuss the issues the next President will face — but let us also discuss the powers and tools with which we must face them.
For we must endow that office with extraordinary strength and vision. We must act in the image of Abraham Lincoln summoning his wartime Cabinet to a meeting on the Emancipation Proclamation. That Cabinet ha[d] been carefully chosen to please and reflect many elements in the country. But "I have gathered you together," Lincoln said, "to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matter — that I have determined for myself."
And later, when he went to sign, after several hours of exhausting handshaking that had left his arm weak, he said to those present: "If my name goes down in history, it will be for this act. My whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign this proclamation, all who examine the document hereafter will say: 'He hesitated.'"
But Lincoln's hand did not tremble. He did not hesitate. He did not equivocate. For he was the President of the United States.
It is in this spirit that we must go forth in the coming months and years.
There was applause. Am I waking up? I wondered. My apparition stepped from behind the podium and the scene vanished as if Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas were cutting from one Indiana Jones adventure to the next. Are my eyes even open?
The hand on my shoulder gripped firmly. "You don't even have to update the years. Just pass the message."
I turned, but there was nothing, just the Charlie Rose theme quietly chirping from the television. That's not even the channel I'd fallen asleep to.
'Lincoln's hand didn't tremble?' I remembered the story. That's a story Doris Kearns Goodwin told about Lincoln. I can find that story, see if what I scribbled in my dozing note-taking makes any sense.
I Googled it this morning. It wasn't Goodwin I found telling the story, nor her words the ghost had spoken.
More rum in the kefir eggnog next time.
Kansas voters are angry; they elected Sam Brownback governor on his promises that slashing state budgets and slashing taxes for the wealthy would make Kansas prosperous.
Now the roads are bad, schools are suffering, and many other state services can't be done. Kansas is crumbling, and the state government is too broke to do anything about it.
Which explains this picture, in Mother Jones:
I do love that illustration. It tells an important story.
From the story, by Patrick Caldwell:
That the RGA had been forced to mobilize reinforcements in Kansas spoke to just how imperiled Brownback had become. After representing Kansas for nearly two decades in Congress, he had won the governorship in 2010 by a 30-point margin. Once in office, Brownback wasted no time implementing a radical agenda that blended his trademark social conservatism with the libertarian-tinged economic agenda favored by one of his most famous constituents, Charles Koch, whose family company is headquartered in Wichita and employs more than 3,500 people in the state. Other GOP governors elected in the tea party wave, such as Wisconsin's Scott Walker, garnered more ink for their brash policy maneuvers, but in many ways Brownback had presided over the most sweeping transformation.
Early in his tenure, he said he wanted to turn Kansas into a "real, live experiment" for right-wing policies. In some cases relying on proposals promoted by the Kansas Policy Institute—a conservative think tank that belongs to the Koch-backed State Policy Network and is chaired by a former top aide to Charles Koch—Brownback led the charge to privatize Medicaid, curb the power of teachers' unions, and cull thousands from the welfare rolls."[Brownback] said, 'I'll be glad to campaign for you coming up, but I want all of my guns pointed in the same direction,' meaning there's no room for difference of opinion. From there on it was chilling."
But his boldest move was a massive income tax cut. Brownback flew in Reagan tax cut guru Arthur Laffer to help sell the plan to lawmakers, with the state paying the father of supply-side economics $75,000 for three days of work. Brownback and his legislative allies ultimately wiped out the top rate of 6.45 percent, slashed the middle rate from 6.25 to 4.9 percent, and dropped the bottom tier from 3.5 to 3 percent. A subsequent bill set in motion future cuts, with the top rate declining to 3.9 percent by 2018 and falling incrementally from there. Brownback's tax plan also absolved nearly 200,000 small business owners of their state income tax burdens. Among the "small" businesses that qualified were more than 20 Koch Industries LLCs. "Without question they're the biggest beneficiaries of the tax cuts," says University of Kansas political scientist Burdett Loomis.
Laffer told me that "what Sam Brownback has done is and will be extraordinarily beneficial for the state of Kansas," but many Kansans beg to differ. Brownback had said that his tax cut plan would provide "a shot of adrenaline into the heart of the Kansas economy." Instead, the state has gone into cardiac arrest. "The revenue projections were just horrendous once the tax cuts were put into place," Loomis says. The state's $700 million budget surplus is projected to dwindle into a $238 million deficit. Standard & Poor's and Moody's downgraded the state's bond rating earlier this year as a result. "The state's on a crisis course," says H. Edward Flentje, a professor emeritus of political science at Wichita State University who served alongside Brownback in the cabinet of Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden in the 1980s. "He has literally put us in a ditch."
Conservatives once celebrated Brownback's grand tax experiment as a prototype worthy of replication in other states and lauded Brownback himself as a model conservative reformer ("phenomenal," Grover Norquist has said). "My focus," Brownback said in one 2013 interview, "is to create a red-state model that allows the Republican ticket to say, 'See, we've got a different way, and it works.'" By this fall it was hard to imagine anyone touting the Brownback model, especially with the Kansas governor at risk of going down in defeat—in the Koch brothers' backyard, no less—and dragging the entire state ticket down with him. The Wall Street Journal recently dubbed Brownback's approach "more of a warning than a beacon."
Income inequality, failure of trickle down economics, dramatic tax cut disasters, all come home to roost at some point. Kansans, it appears, are ready to change things.
How about the rest of the nation?
Your flag is up. You've already read the Constitution and all 27 amendments.
Time to pass on greetings to others: Happy Constitution Day!
From the President of the United States:

Eleven years after a small band of patriots declared the independence of our new Nation, our Framers set out to refine the promise of liberty and codify the principles of our Republic. Though the topics were contentious and the debate fierce, the delegates' shared ideals and commitment to a more perfect Union yielded compromise. Signed on September 17, 1787, our Constitution enshrined — in parchment and in the heart of our young country — the foundation of justice, equality, dignity, and fairness, and became the cornerstone of the world's oldest constitutional democracy.
For more than two centuries, our founding charter has guided our progress and defined us as a people. It has endured as a society of farmers and merchants advanced to form the most dynamic economy on earth; as a small army of militias grew to the finest military the world has ever known; and as a Nation of 13 original States expanded to 50, from sea to shining sea. Our Founders could not have foreseen the challenges our country has faced, but they crafted an extraordinary document. It allowed for protest and new ideas that would broaden democracy's reach. And it stood the test of a civil war, after which it provided the framework to usher in a new birth of freedom through the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
America's revolutionary experiment in democracy has, from its first moments, been a beacon of hope and opportunity for people around the world, inspiring some to call for freedom in their own land and others to seek the blessings of liberty in ours. The United States has always been a nation of immigrants. We are strengthened by our diversity and united by our fidelity to a set of tenets. We know it is not only our bloodlines or an accident of birth that make us Americans. It is our firm belief that out of many we are one; that we are united by our convictions and our unalienable rights. Each year on Citizenship Day, we recognize our newest citizens whose journeys have been made possible by our founding documents and whose contributions have given meaning to our charter's simple words.
Our Constitution reflects the values we cherish as a people and the ideals we strive for as a society. It secures the privileges we enjoy as citizens, but also demands participation, responsibility, and service to our country and to one another. As we celebrate our Nation's strong and durable framework, we are reminded that our work is never truly done. Let us renew our commitment to these sacred principles and resolve to advance their spirit in our time.
In remembrance of the signing of the Constitution and in recognition of the Americans who strive to uphold the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, the Congress, by joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 106), designated September 17 as "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day," and by joint resolution of August 2, 1956 (36 U.S.C. 108), requested that the President proclaim the week beginning September 17 and ending September 23 of each year as "Constitution Week."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 17, 2014, as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, and September 17 through September 23, 2014, as Constitution Week. I encourage Federal, State, and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, social, and educational organizations, to conduct ceremonies and programs that bring together community members to reflect on the importance of active citizenship, recognize the enduring strength of our Constitution, and reaffirm our commitment to the rights and obligations of citizenship in this great Nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-ninth.
In that case, Happy Constitution Week!
What should we do tomorrow?
On August 4, 1964, President Johnson awoke to the news that two U.S. Navy ships cruising in the Tonkin Gulf had been fired upon by North Vietnamese Navy gunboats; then the FBI called and announced that the bodies of three civil rights workers had been found, young men registering African Americans to vote in Mississippi. Both of these events rumble through history like a Rocky Mountain avalanche to today; either was a make-or-break event for any presidency.
Lyndon Johnson dealt with them both, the same day
"August 4, 1964," is an oratorio covering a remarkable and fantastic coincidence in the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. On that day, the bodies of three civil rights workers who had been missing for nearly seven weeks, were found in shallow graves near Philadelphia, Mississippi — they were the victims of violence aimed at stopping blacks from voting. The incident was a chief spur to the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
And also on that day, the U.S.S. Maddox reported it had been attacked by gunboats of the North Vietnamese Navy, in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Gulf of Tonkin incident led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson the authority to expand and escalate the war in Vietnam, which he did.
The Dallas Symphony commissioned the work, from composer Steven Stucky and librettist Gene Scheer, in commemoration of President Johnson's 100th birth anniversary — he would have been 100 on August 27, 2008. The works were premiered in Dallas in 2008.
The music is outstanding, especially for a modern piece. The Dallas Symphony was at its flashiest and most sober best, under the baton of new conductor Jaap van Zweden. It was a spectacular performance. According to the New York Times:
Mr. van Zweden, hailed in his debut as music director a week before, scored another triumph here. And the orchestra's assured and gritty performance was rivaled by that of the large Dallas Symphony Chorus, both corporately and individually, in shifting solo snippets charting the course of the fateful day.
The strong cast, mildly amplified, was robustly led by the Johnson of Robert Orth, last heard as another president in John Adams's "Nixon in China" in Denver in June. Laquita Mitchell and Kelley O'Conner, wearing period hats, were touching as Mrs. Chaney and Mrs. Goodman. Understandably, the taxing role of a high-strung McNamara took a small toll on the tenor of Vale Rideout in his late aria.
The entire thing deserves more commentary, perhaps soon. There is stellar history in the choral piece. And there is this: Consider that Lyndon Johnson, the best legislator and second most-effective executive we ever had as president, got hit with these two crises the same day. On the one hand the nation got the Voting Rights Act, the Fair Housing Act, executive orders and government support to end segregation and the evils it created. On the other hand, we got stuck with the disaster of the Vietnam War.
How would the nation fared had a lesser person been in the White House on that day?
(August 4 is a busy, busy day in history; much to think about.)

: : (also have a SM-57). Any comments on the Ruskin mics?
: : That Pro Junior is an excellent Harp Amp, at a jam I used to go to in Detroit the house bands singer and frontman used one. When not in smaller clubs he used a 57 to mic it into the PA on a radio shack short stand. A Green Bullet into a PJ is a simple yet very good sounding set up. You can also do the tube swap thing with it. As far as Ruskins go, a local player uses one and loves it. This guy knows his stuff. He said its slightly smaller and easier to cup. It took him awhile to get it due to a fire they had at Ruskins office and shop. Ive heard alls back to normal now. Good Luck to Ya and Harp On..
: Really appreciate the help, Bluzharper! Was going to re-tube the Pro Junior anyway--Ruby Tubes EL84's and EH preamp tubes--Torres recommends 5751's (not sure of the gain rating but it's a lot less than 12AX7's. We guitar tubeheads love tons of gain--guess I need to re-align my brain cells for harp! (am nuts over the Little Walter 'growl' and assumed it was gain/overdrive).
5751 gain is 70% best known for 2nd harmonics used by SRV in his amps.

What I Did: A few days ago was my boyfriend's birthday. I wanted to be sweet and make him something special. My boyfriend LOVES Snickers, so when I saw "How to make a Giant Snickers Ice Cream Bar with only 4 simple ingredients!!" I immediately went to the store to get the items I needed. I followed the instructions exactly. All was well up until the chocolate coating part. As I was pouring the chocolate on the top, the ice cream started to IMMEDIATELY MELT LIKE CRAZY! I tried to apply the last of the chocolate to the side with a spatula like shown in the video before he ice cream melted any further… but the spatula stuck to the chocolate and pulled the chocolate top off. I tried to put it back on and re-smooth it all while the ice cream is melting and ended up with….this.
My Result:
Next Time I Will: I used a cake pan as the video said that was fine if you didn't have a bar pan. I would use a bar pan so there is less surface area for the chocolate to melt on direct contact. I would also say to freeze it in the BACK of your freezer for at least 24 hours, not just 4-6. I waited 6 and this is what happened. :/

A recent study from a consumer research firm found an astonishing 41% of U.S. adults said they'd be shaving — or cutting — the pay-TV cord in the next 12 months. They also found satisfaction with OTT was higher than with pay TV and that they were more likely to recommend an OTT service to a friend or family member than a pay-TV service.
Yet another report out today pointing to growing U.S. pay-TV subscriber losses as customers continue to bail on traditional television.
Leichtman Research Group (LRG) said the 11 biggest pay-TV providers in the U.S. lost about 665,000 subscribers in Q2, an increase of more than 22% compared to the 545,000 it lost in Q2 2015.
That brings losses over the past year to more than 705,000, 86% more than the previous year when the industry lost 380,000 customers.
Hulu's free streaming service, which it launched in 2007, soon will be just a memory; the service instead is going to concentrate on growing its subscription service that now has roughly 12 million subscribers.
But for you (few) users who are still using "free" Hulu, you won't be left high and dry.
Verizon, the odds-on favorite to buy Yahoo, today finalized the deal, paying $4.83 billion for Yahoo's Web assets and in the process expanding its digital advertising business.
It appears Verizon isn't the only company that has Yahoo on it's shortlist.
CNBC is reporting that there have been multiple offers made to the troubled Internet portal for its core business, several above $5 billion, which puts Verizon's reported $3.5 billion bid in the rearview mirror.
Yahoo's board meets Friday to weigh the offers it's received.
The disparity in bids may be due to different offers being made for different Yahoo "core" assets.
ESPN and Verizon have settled the 2015 breech of contract suit the sportscaster filed against Verizon after the telco moved it off the FiOS-TV service basic skinny bundle that was created in an effort to lure Millennials and other cord nevers and cutters to the operator.
Verizon saw its FiOS video subscribers growth remain stunted in the first quarter, adding just 36,000 new customers and lending weight to rumors that the company may be looking to exit the traditional pay-TV market to focus on an Internet and mobile play instead.
The company reported EPS of $1.06, in line with Wall Street expectations, but missed expected revenues by $320 million, coming in at $32.17 billion.
Verizon has wrapped up its $10.5 billion deal with Frontier Communications, closing on the sale of Verizon's local wireline assets in California, Florida and Texas.
The deal helps Verizon shed some debt from the AWS-3 FCC spectrum auction early last year.
Included in the deal: Some 2.1 million broadband connections, 1.2 FiOS TV subscribers and about 3.3 million voice connections. Verizon also walks away from its local ILEC businesses.
Verizon is adding yet another piece to its Verizon Digital Media Services stack in an attempt to move up market in the Cloud TV space, announcing it had acquired broadcast monitoring and content archiving company Volicon. No terms for the deal were made public.
Pay-TV in North America is set to see its penetration in the region decline to 80% by 2021 from the current 87% as consumers move away from legacy service providers to alternatives like SVOD and virtual MSOs. A new study for Digital TV Research said that the number of pay-TV subscribers will see only a small decline, to 106 million in the United States and Canada, from 112 million in 2012, pay TV's peak year.
The 17 largest cable and telephone providers in the U.S. – representing about 94% of the market – added more than 3.1 million high-speed Internet subscribers in 2015, the most in a single year since 2010, when they added 3.4 million. The increase was just slightly more than a year ago, when operators added 3 million broadband subscribers.
CBS isn't saying just how many people streamed the Denver Broncos win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, but claim the sportstacular saw a record audience watch the game via the Internet.
What's a record?

In the second half, Dual County League Large-leading L-S turned on the power, out-scoring Wayland 24-0 en route to a dominant 45-14 win in the non-division matchup.
In the battle of the neighboring Warriors last Friday night, Wayland's football team trailed unbeaten Lincoln-Sudbury by just seven points at halftime.
But in the second half, Dual County League Large-leading L-S turned on the power, out-scoring Wayland 24-0 en route to a dominant 45-14 win in the non-division matchup.
"They made more plays than we did tonight in that second half," said Wayland coach Scott Parseghian.
Wayland dropped to 2-3 overall, but remains atop the DCL Small at 1-0.
Wayland hosts Concord-Carlisle (1-4) on Friday night at 7 in the division opener for the Patriots.
Wayland is the only DCL Small team on the plus side of points-differential through five games, scoring an average of 25.2 per game while allowing 22.2. C-C is the next closest with an average of minus-4.
In the matchup with L-S, Wayland jumped out to a 7-0 lead just 12 seconds into the game as Ben Robinson took the opening kickoff back over 70 yards for a touchdown with Andy Brogan adding the extra point.
After L-S responded with two TDs to take a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, Wayland tied the game back up at 14-14 with 4:58 remaining in the half on a 2-yard keeper by quarterback Mason Bolivar to finish off a seven-play, 38-yard drive.
Each team then traded fumbles one play apart late in the half, with L-S taking over at its own 37 with 1:08 to play in the half. L-S scored another TD before the half to lead 21-14 at intermission.
"That TD at the end of the second quarter hurt us a bit, but that was just a great play by them," said Parseghian. "We felt like we were in the game at halftime only down seven, but that's a great football team over there and they earned it tonight."
L-S scored another TD made it 28-14 early in the third. A field goal pushed it to 31-14 early in the fourth. With 5:08 left, a touchdown run made it 38-14 and an interception return by L-S capped the scoring with 4:07 remaining.
Both teams entered the game having had very different seasons to this point. Wayland's two losses had been by a total of just six points while its two wins came via 45- and 37-point outbursts. The L-S offense meanwhile, had outscored its four opponents by a combined 111 points, giving up just 50 total points.
Field Hockey
Wayland forward Mackenzie Barber played a solid game with several scoring chances Wayland, but Newton South scored a last-minute goal to tip the Warriors 1-0 in a non-division match last Friday.
"It was a heartbreaker," said Wayland coach Shelly Fraser. "We had good pressure in the second half hitting post and just missing the goal on a few close chances."
Wayland dropped to 0-7-1 overall.
Senior captain and forward Lucy Hughes scored in the second half to tie the game for Wayland, but Westford came back with four unanswered goal to defeat the Warriors 5-1 in a Dual County League non-division matchup on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
After a scoreless first half, Westford scored to take a 1-0 lead.
Hughes moved the ball downfield, working past a Westford defender with a one-on-one move and then walked in a beat the Grey Ghosts goalie one-on-one with a shot to left side to knot the score 1-1.
Forward Lily Tardif played well and just missed converting a couple of good scoring chances. Midfielder Corinne Neumeyer played a solid all-around game.
"They did really well for the first half then we lost a couple of key players to injuries," said Fraser. "We had a depleted lineup in the second half."
Myles Larsen led Wayland with 17 points in an 82-58 Dual County League win over Waltham last Thursday.
James Edmunds followed with 14 points and Haydn Davies put up 12 points in the win for the Warriors (3-5, 2-4 DCL Small).
Larsen led Wayland with 12 points, but the Warriors fell to Boston Latin 91-63 in a Dual County League match on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
Davies and freshman Joe Tardiff followed with 10 points each for Wayland.
Girls Volleyball
Noelle McGah libero had two aces, eight digs and led the team in passing Wayland, but Lincoln-Sudbury won in a 3-0 (25-11, 25-23, 25-12) sweep in a Dual County League non-division game last Thursday.
Outside hitter Michelle Mei had three kills and defensive specialist Vivian Chen had seven digs in a strong match for Wayland (1-10).
"L-S played at faster pace than our recent opponents and we weren't ready for that," said Wayland coach Lisa Tsaur. "It's another lesson for us."
Sophomore setter Ava Tang had 13 aces, 32 assists and three digs for Wayland, but Boston Latin edged the Warriors 3-2 in a closely contested non-division marathon match by scores of 16-25, 25-13, 27-25, 26-28, 15-13 on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
Middle blocker Lauren Stahl made seven kills and two blocks, and Izzy VanRooyen had six kills and four digs for the Warriors.
Wayland trailed 2-1 before rallying to force a fifth set.
"We came back in the fourth and had a 13-11 lead in the fifth but were not able to close it out," said Tsaur. "It was really close."
Boys Cross Country
Matt Clayton finished first overall on Franklin Park's 3.1-mile course as Wayland split a Dual County League tri-meet by defeating Boston Latin 20-27 and falling just short to Bedford 27-28 on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Jack Dussault finished fourth overall for the Warriors (2-3).
Girls Cross Country
Wayland's Mckenna Kelemanik finished first overall and the Warriors bowed to Bedford 20-36 and Boston Latin 20-37 a Dual County League tri-meet Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Wayland dropped to 1-3 after the tri-meet.
"The other teams had too much depth for us," said Wayland coach Mark Mayall.
