John McGinn's opening goal was cancelled out by Kris Boyd but a second half Paul McGowan penalty and a strike from Conor Newton two minutes from time secured the spoils for the Buddies.
St Mirren boss Danny Lennon fielded a side that featured a number of players destined to leave the club in the summer, including goalkeeper Craig Samson who looks set to join Kilmarnock.
A scrappy contest came to life after 20 minutes when McGinn opened the scoring for the Buddies, the midfielder volleying into the bottom corner of the net from five yards after getting on the end of Newton's cross from the by-line.
But the lead only lasted five minutes, with Kilmarnock striker Boyd beating the offside trap and goalkeeper Samson to the ball before toe-poking home.
David van Zanten looked to have edged the visitors back into the lead but his lobbed effort fell agonisingly the wrong side of the post.
Van Zanten also felt he should have been awarded a penalty after Killie keeper Cammy Bell appeared to drag him down in the area but referee Willie Collum was unmoved.
Sam Parkin, one of the contingent leaving St Mirren Park in the close-season, should have done better with a header as both sides struggled to create further goalscoring opportunities.
But the visitors stepped up a gear in the final 15 minutes, with teenager Anton Brady coming off the bench to earn the penalty that led to the second goal.
McGowan fired the spot-kick past Rangers-bound Bell after Brady was adjudged to have been fouled in the area by fellow-19-year-old Lee Ashcroft (75).
Newton then put the result beyond doubt as he beat three defenders before getting away a shot that evaded Bell before finding the back of the net.
St Mirren end with victory

Tayloria mosses belong to the wonderfully named Splachnaceae family, and grow on dung and carcasses!
Such substrates are unusual for mosses, and Tayloria has several adaptations for its specialist life-style.
Mosses reproduce by spores, which in most cases are dispersed by the wind, and may or may not land in a suitable place for the spore to germinate. The spores of Tayloria are sticky, so they adhere to flies and other animals attracted to the dung or carrion. Moreover, the capsule producing the spores mimics the foul smell, attracting the visiting flies close to the spores. In this way, Tayloria mosses increase their chances of dispersing from one dung heap (or dead body) to the next.
Some overseas Tayloria mosses are so specialised that the odour they emit is chemically tuned to the dung smell of a particular animal.
New Zealand has three indigenous species of Tayloria mosses; look out for them! Te Papa's WELT herbarium holds c. 160 specimens.

High-profile Silicon Valley investors back the social games group, reports claim
An investment purse of $1,595,000 is in place for the start-up studio Lionside, according to SEC documents.
The studio, which had formed in 2009 under the name Popside, has already captured 308,000 monthly active users (MAU) with its Lionside Football game for Facebook, according to a GamesIndustry.biz report.
Lionside said it is being backed now by "two of Silicon Valley's most iconic technology investors" – angel investor Ron Conway and Sherpalo Ventures' Ram Shiram.
The firm is headquartered in San Francisco, with additional offices in London and Indonesia.

Penguins backups, scratches are staying prepared
April 30, 2014 11:56 PMRobert Bortuzzo finally made his way off the ice about 45 minutes after the formal portion of the Penguins' morning skate at Nationwide Arena eight days ago had ended.
He sat down in his locker-room stall, sweating profusely after going through a demanding workout with a handful of other players scheduled to be healthy scratches for Game 4 of the Penguins' opening-round playoff series against Columbus.
Bortuzzo knew by then that he wouldn't be dressing against the Blue Jackets that evening. What he couldn't know was when — or even if — he would be called upon to play again.
Could have been the next game. Could have been the next series. Could have been next season. The uncertainty, though, didn't seem to faze him.
His focus, he said, was solely on being prepared to step in, if needed.
"There are a couple of us here who know anything could happen, that we could be in if there are injuries or whatnot," he said. "We want to be ready."
Turned out, Bortuzzo was. And didn't have to wait long to prove it.
Bortuzzo was added to the lineup for Game 5, when it was determined defenseman Brooks Orpik would be unable to play because of an undisclosed injury, and remained there for the series-clincher Monday in Columbus.
He averaged 20 shifts and 13 minutes of ice time in his two appearances, and finished with a plus-minus rating of plus-1. By any measure, that was a pretty solid payback for the time and effort he had invested in keeping himself prepared to play.
"I didn't think I was doing it for no reason," Bortuzzo said after practice Wednesday at Consol Energy Center. "Everyone knows what this time of year brings. … I was thrown in there pretty quick and thought we were able to do some good things."
Although Bortuzzo wasn't a difference-maker against the Blue Jackets, neither was he a liability. Which, realistically, has to be the primary objective of any healthy player who is placed in suspended animation until being summoned back to work, usually on short notice.
"The pace in the playoffs is so fast, and, when you haven't played in a few games, it's important that you're ready to get your feet moving and be able to play at that faster pace," said winger Taylor Pyatt, who has yet to appear in these playoffs. "You just try to stay sharp, mentally and physically."
Most of the healthy scratches spend game nights in the press box, but they're not just spectators with a strong rooting interest.
"You obviously want to keep … your mind sharp, so we're watching all of the games pretty [closely]," Bortuzzo said. "Even keeping up with some video and stuff that we do here. You just want to be as ready as possible."
Unlike Bortuzzo and Pyatt, goalie Jeff Zatkoff dressed for every game in Round 1, although he has yet to face a playoff shot.
Because, as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup, he must be prepared to enter the game with little or no warning — there's the constant danger of an injury, and the possibility that coach Dan Bylsma will decide his team would be best served by replacing his starter — Zatkoff's extra workouts have even more urgency than those of guys such as Bortuzzo, Pyatt and Deryk Engelland.
Although Zatkoff hasn't been in a game since April 13 and might not get into another until training camp, it also is conceivable circumstances could force him into action just seconds into the Round 2 opener.
"It puts a little more emphasis on my pregame approach and my practices," he said. "My practices are my games right now, so [the emphasis is on] good details, good practices.
"I'm battling on every puck like it's a game situation, so that way, if I get into a game, hopefully I'll be ready. Not need a few minutes to get into it.
"That's how it is this time of year. There are 15 other [backup goalies] who are in the same spot as me. That's our job. We need to make sure we're ready in case we're called upon."
Nine backups had gotten work this spring going into three Games 7 Wednesday, but with Round 1 finally over, the number of other goalies who share Zatkoff's niche has shrunk to seven.
They, like he — and every other player cast in a supporting role in these playoffs — can do little except to be as prepared as possible when they're summoned.
"The games are the easy part," Zatkoff said. "Where you get better, where you put your work in, is the practice. By the time you get to the game, your habits should just take care of the rest."

Fireworks from Holland
It's tradition in Holland to light up loads of individual fireworks during New Years eve. Due to this fact, a lot of accidents happen. The Dutch government called in the 'Liberation Army Against Freedom' to warn for the dangers of fireworks. And the Dutch have heard the message: over half a million people watched the movies within a week time.

Lt. Don Murray of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department fills up the penguin exhibit at the Toledo Zoo.
Lucas Wark/SPECIAL TO BLADE Enlarge
When Toledoans were ordered to close their taps, they opened their hearts.
For 48 hours starting Aug. 2, the City of Toledo urged citizens not to drink its water due to high levels of the toxin microsystin.
Some 500,000 people in the greater metro area were affected by the algal bloom on Lake Erie, sending tens of thousands flocking to grocery stores to buy bottled water by the cases, and thousands more to visit dozens of makeshift distribution centers to pick up free water supplied by churches, community groups and even the National Guard.
Beyond Toledo proper, parts of Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, Monroe County and Lucas County were affected by the water advisory.
PHOTO GALLERY: Click here for more Toledo Magazine photos
While there were sporadic reports of price gouging (one store was allegedly selling a case of water for $20 when it would normally be priced under $4), there were even more reports of the kindness of strangers, as the community banded together to get through the crisis.

The photos on this page capture some instances of that human generosity as high schools, baseball fields and sundry parking lots became temporary water depots. For the home-bound, other agencies, including the Red Cross, distributed potable water to their door.
Humans weren't the only ones forced to becomes Bedouins for a weekend. Pet owners were warned against giving their animals tap water, and the Toledo Zoo faced its own mini-drought given that many of its animals rely on water to cool off or, in some cases, exist. Fortunately, there were good Samaritans who lent a hand and, in the case of the Jerusalem Township Fire department, a hose.
As the city, its businesses and its citizens slowly rebound, all are keeping a wary eye on the possibility of another water crisis in the future. Only one thing seems certain: should such an event occur, there are thousands in Northwest Ohio ready to open their hearts and go with the flow.

Art LogicLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.A plain white cube has gone through 4 steps to become what it is now. The steps (not necessarily in order) are:
a) The whole cube being painted red b) A white circle being painted on every face except for the top and back c) The front and back faces being painted black d) The top, back, and bottom being painted blue All of the following facts about painting the cube are true: 1. After the last of the four steps, the top face was all purple, the left and right faces were red with a pink circle in each of their centers, the front black with a gray circle, the bottom purple with a light blue circle, and the back completely dark blue. 2. Color mixing goes as follows: -Red+Blue=Purple -Black+White=Gray -Red+White=Pink -Blue+White=Light Blue -Red+Black=Maroon -Blue+Black=Dark Blue 3. Once black is added to a face, it will mix with the colors on the face if possible, but it cannot be changed at all afterwards. This is not true with white. 4. Any area where two colors have been mixed cannot change color. 5. Exactly one of the following is true: -Black was added first. -Red was added before blue. -Blue was added after white. -White was added last. In what order were the colors added? What Next?

A lot to get caught up on from a weekend full of basketball. Sunday's biggest game was played in Syracuse as Louisville went into the Carrier Dome and knocked off the Orange. The Cardinals were up for most of the game, but with 2:55 left Eric Devendorf knocked down a three off of a Jonny Flynn kick out to give Syracuse a 55-54 lead. Earl Clark would respond on the next possession with a three of his own, and Louisville would go on to score seven straight points, taking a 61-55 lead on a Terrence Williams jumper with 50 seconds left. Clark had 16, 13 boards, and 5 assists (but 7 of the 10 Cardinal turnovers) and Williams added 15, 9 boards, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Devendorf had 20 to lead Syracuse. Syracuse has now lost three of four in the Big East, while Louisville has won seven in a row and remains tied with Marquette atop to Big East at 6-0.

(CNN) - An attorney for former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer responded Wednesday to the criminal investigation into Greer's use of party money.
The lawyer, Gregory Miller, said Greer is innocent of any criminal activity and will fully cooperate with the investigation. Miller accused the current party chairman, John Thrasher, of having a "personal vendetta" against his predecessor.
"The statements and actions of John Thrasher today against his predecessor, former GOP Chairman Jim Greer, are without merit and the continuation of a political vendetta intended to conceal the actions of others and blame Chairman Greer, a private citizen, for the conduct of elected officials," Miller said in a statement.
"Mr. Thrasher's accusations are a heavy-handed attempt to avoid the Party's formally documented financial and legal obligation to Mr. Greer, who has not committed any criminal activity and looks forward to cooperating fully with any investigation," he said.
(CNN) - A presidential tradition that dates 100 years will continue Monday: President Obama will throw out the first pitch before the Washington Nationals take on the Philadelphia Phillies.
John Odell, curator of history and research at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, said President William Howard Taft was the first to throw an Opening Day pitch in Washington in 1910.
"Washington has been the historic place for presidential first pitches," he said.
New York (CNNMoney.com) - A growing number of major U.S. corporations are expecting to take tax charges in the first quarter related to the recently enacted health care reform law.
But while some companies are fretting about the charges, defenders of the law say the new rules merely close a loophole that allowed a double-dip benefit.
On Wednesday, Boeing became the latest company to disclose that the law, which was signed by President Obama last week, will negatively impact its financial results.
The aeronautics company expects to take an income tax charge of roughly $150 million, or 20 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of the law.
Washington (CNN) - Several environmentalists expressed disappointment and dismay over President Barack Obama's decision Wednesday to open key Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters to oil and gas drilling.
"I'm extremely disappointed," said David Rauschkolb, a Florida restaurant owner who organized anti-drilling rallies last month at several Gulf coast beaches.
"Florida's legacy is clean water, clean beaches, sunshine and tourism. Every oil rig is a threat to tourism and coastal well-being. ... All it takes
is one spill."
One leading critic of offshore drilling, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg, vowed to fight Obama's plan.
Washington (CNN) - Former Republican Party of Florida chairman Jim Greer, who stepped down from his post earlier this year after grassroots leaders revolted against his management of the party, is under criminal investigation for allegedly setting up an secret fundraising contract that paid him and the party's executive director nearly $200,000 in donor money.
An independent annual audit of party expenses revealed that the party "may have been the victim of illegal criminal activity on the part of one of its vendors, controlled by a senior-level official," said Jim Thrasher, the current chairman of the party, in a statement Wednesday.
That vendor was Victory Strategies, LLC, a firm set up in February 2009 by Greer and former RPOF executive director Delmar Johnson that awarded them a 10 percent cut of all party donations.
Thrasher said he notified Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum on March 15 of the "potential illegal activity." McCollum called the information "serious and concerning" and referred the matter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is now investigating Greer for potential criminal activities.
Greer, the majority owner of the firm, and Johnson collected at least $133,000 worth of donor money in 2009 along with $66,250 in additional consulting fees.
Washington (CNN) – Just minutes after the clock expired on the first day of Passover, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin issued a biting critique of the Obama administration's Middle-East policy via her Facebook page.
In a post entitled "Peace Not Possible if Iran Escapes Real Sanctions," Palin accuses President Obama of dropping the pursuit of "crippling" sanctions against Iran and treating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu like an "unwelcome guest" during a recent visit to Washington.
"[J]ust as the Obama administration inexplicably gives up on imposing crippling sanctions on Iran, it's taken an uncompromising hard line against one country in the Middle East: Israel," Palin writes. "On his recent visit to Washington, the Israeli Prime Minister was treated like an unwelcome guest, as shown by White House actions such as refusing to be photographed with Israel's Prime Minister."
Washington (CNN) – Despite making a pledge to resign, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison announced Wednesday that she will not retire before her term expires in 2012.
"This has been a hard decision. I really did intend to leave," the Texas Republican told reporters in San Antonio.
Citing the recent passage of health care reform, a possible change in energy policy and the federal government's "massive debt," Hutchison said there were plenty of reasons to remain in Washington.
(CNN) - The "drill baby, drill" rally cry is back.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, on Wednesday hailed President Obama's decision to open U.S. coastal waters to oil and natural gas drilling.
Arizona's senior senator, who faces a tough Republican primary fight this year, tweeted: "Drill baby drill! Good move – where are Reid and Pelosi on this?"
During the 2008 presidential campaign, McCain - as well as his running mate Sarah Palin - wholeheartedly favored offshore drilling as gas prices rose throughout the country.

I just got one!
First thing I noticed is the gamepad is small and light. Don't know, it feels more like a DS3 than a 360 controller in my hands. Definitely not designed for people with big hands in mind. Question now is, should I surrender my life and get MH3U or not.. |

66k in Feb, must've been a few more returns that month.
Game and Wario coming June 30th so Pikmin and Wonderful World probably after that, Rayman pushed back so it can get released on 360/ps3 at the same time, amazing delivery of launch window titles. Quote:

I played a Wii U game for the first time last week. NSMBU. It was actually really fun, once I got accustomed to the gamepad. Then again, I have never played any of the other games in that series, so it didn't feel repetitive to me, even though it is. When I get a Wii U, I might just get it.

Earthbound (Mother 2) coming to WiiU VC and for the first time officially being released in europe!
This was shown at the NA and EU ND just about an hour ago. Not sure, but you can probably find some videos uploaded by nintendo later today on youtube and on eshop. Other than that no real news about WiiU titles, apart from that panorama view software, but then again it was announced as a 3DS centered nintendo direct. Just remember pikmin 3 was featured during the stream and the Luigi DLC for New Super Mario Bros. Last edited by Sides; 2013-04-17 at 10:07. |

Are they already making plans for a Wii-U2 when the first one barely came out? Or is this like a DS vs DS Lite vs DSi type of thing (basic hardware improvements, bigger size, more user-friendly implementations)?

But yeah a Wii U Zelda seems like it's still in the conceptual stage, which is why Windwalker HD is set for the end of the year and Link to the past 2 for 3ds. That Nintendo direct that focused on the Wii U was just throwing shit at the wall, no matter how far off it was. We might not have X in English until late 2014, maybe even 2015 depending on when it comes out in Japan. Zelda... 2015... Fire Emblem x SMT... again 2015... if it comes out in the first half of 2014 in Japan.. |

The new update for the Wii U should be out now, bringing us version 3.0.0. The update itself should be 703MB in size.
The following changelog is based off Nintendo Australia's latest system update information page (3.0.0E [Europe]), but it should be the same for the U.S. and Japan versions as well.

Story highlights
- Unusual pre-wedding photos are becoming more popular in Hong Kong
- Digitally-altered images show couples posing before backdrops of cats and foods
- For many, the "engagement photos" have become a bigger event than the wedding photos
Tired of the same old engagement and wedding photos? The cliched poses in gardens or on beaches?
Then take some inspiration from the creative couples in Hong Kong, who are memorializing their love with unconventional photo shoots featuring such surreal backdrops as giant cats or pastries.
Many couples in the city opt to take engagement photos months before the big day, a tradition that started in Taiwan and has now spread to China and South Korea.
The more adventurous are opting for photo shoots that diverge from the standard scenes, and instead reflect something about their personalities, passions or the story of their love.
Kim Lee wanted a theme that reflected her love of food, so her photos with her fiancé Daniel Chan feature the couple sitting on giant egg tarts and macaroons.
Yvonne Ho, the wedding planner behind Lee and Chan's shoot, said planning this sort of photography is closer to an advertising or fashion shoot.
Ho works to create an individualized concept for each couple, so they come away feeling she has presented the story of their life together.
"I want to share their love," she said, adding that her responsibility is to "tell the story by the photos."
In the case of sporting enthusiasts Kenny Tang and Olivia Kok, Ho enlisted a professional underwater photographer to capture the couple's active lifestyle. Tang and Kok jumped into a swimming pool fully clothed and relied on scuba tanks to breathe underwater.
The average couple in Hong Kong spends $2700 (HK$20,969) on engagement photos, according to e-commerce website ESDlife. That is twice the amount they're willing to spend on a photographer for their wedding.
The unusual engagement photos are typically printed into albums and turned into slideshows that are displayed on their wedding day.
For Wancy Wong, she couldn't bear the thought of leaving her 19-year-old pet cat out of her engagement photos.
She worked with Ho to plan a series of poses that featured her fiancé, Frankie Cheung and her cat, Ah B.
When the cat died just before the planned photo shoot, Wong was heartbroken and shelved the idea.
But after a few months, Ho encouraged Wong to revisit the concept and turn her wedding photos into a tribute.
With a little help from Photoshop, Ho superimposed images of the couple onto old photos of Ah B.
"I'm very happy with the result," Wong said. "Many of my friends also grew up with my cat so they were glad to see it in my photos."

Reality: Just like Gossip Girl itself, it's more flair, hot girls and drama than it's really worth. Advertisement I'll be honest here, I've watched my share of Gossip Girl episodes (all of them if we're going to be really honest) and it's a pretty terrible show. Still, I watch and I'm sure there are others out there too (anyone? anyone?). The CW Full Episodes app for iPhone gives you the latest 6 episodes of all CW shows in streaming fashion (Wi-Fi or 3G) and offers clips, photos, interviews, schedules and more. Which all sounds very good! But the app crashes a little too much and I wish you could tap into the full slate of episodes for each show (cause season one of Gossip Girl was actually good!). Free.

The actor is reportedly not a YRF favorite anymore, especially after she refused to be the leading lady in Gunday
Katrina Kaif was offered five of Aditya Chopra's best roles, three of which were with the reigning Khans – Salman Khan (Ek Tha Tiger), Shahrukh Khan (Jab Tak Hai Jaan) and Aamir Khan (Dhoom 3) apart from New York and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. And in return Aditya Chopra expected nothing much from Kat but to be grateful to do one film that he wanted her to do. The film which we are talking about here is Gunday which stars Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor.
If reports are to be believed, when Adi asked Katrina to be the leading lady in Gunday, she refused citing date reasons. Since the Dhoom 3 girl refused to do the film, it was offered to Priyanka Chopra who instantly agreed to play the leading lady in Gunday.
According to our khabroo, Adi was confident of Katrina's nod for Gunday since it is to be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan) with whom she shares a wonderful working relation and Arjun is her rakhi brother but to Adi's shock, not only did she refused to do the film, Kat said she would do it only if he roped in one of the bigger stars. That is when Katrina entered in Aditya Chopra's bad books. "He couldn't believe that she would lay down conditions in front of him. He coldly told Kat he didn't need her in the film and went ahead and signed her arch rival. After that he has cooled off Kat," adds our khabroo .
So what is up with Katrina? She has been losing out on a lot of films lately. First she was replaced by Deepika Padukone in Happy New Year and Dostana 2 and now she has been replaced by Priyanka Chopra in Gunday.
Is all this because of her high-ended nature or something else?

Building a Muzzleloader - Fitting the Lock | |
I'll tell much of the story with photographs, so each page may be a bit slow to load. Click on any photo for a larger image.
Fitting the lock was a relatively simple procedure. The factory inletting fit the profile quite well, with no unsightly gaps around the edges. I cleaned out the frazzly wood shavings from edges in the inletting using a small, sharp knife and 120 grit sandpaper. I removed high spots on the wood the lockplate rests on using sandpaper and a small sanding block.
When working inside inletting, care must be taken not to round the edges of the stock at the inlet, nor to enlarge the inlet more than necessary. This is one reason why a sanding block is so handy, used with small pieces of sandpaper. The block gives you more control over where and what you're sanding, and a slip is usually less likely to do damage. Go slowly, so you don't remove too much material at once -- as Dad always says, you can always cut more off, but it's hard to cut on.
The bolts, which are through-bolts and go all the way through the stock, didn't quite line up with the threaded holes in the lockplate, and were barely long enough to engage the threads. I solved the alignment problem by filing the holes to widen them a bit, using a small round needle file.
I held off on the bolt length issue until fitting the barrel and tang to the stock, to see if I would need to inlet the lock deeper, or simply sand some wood off the opposite side of the stock.
Here you can see some dark spots in the inlet, indicating high spots of wood. I removed very little wood, just enough to ensure even contact, as should always be done whenever possible. I rubbed the back of the lockplate with a pencil, then placed it in the inlet. The pencil "lead" stayed on the wood where it made contact, highlighting the high spots.
This shot illustrates the fit of the lockplate in the stock, which is very good and required very little additional work. Note the hole to the right -- that's where the forward bolt will thread into it.
Here's the final fit of the lock. Notice there's a bolt in the hole now, and in sanding I've removed the harsh lines from around the flat area.
Filing the forward bolt hole.
After fitting the barrel to the tang, I installed it in the stock. I was delighted to see that the depth of the factory inletting for the lock was perfect -- the lock fit right up against the side of the barrel, just as it should, and the hammer and nipple lined up well.
I was tickled when the lock wound up right against the barrel, and the hammer and nipple were properly aligned, without further inletting.
Now that I knew the inletting depth was proper, it was time for some serious sanding. Using a small plywood sanding block and 100 grit sandpaper, I attacked the flat portion of the stock opposite the lock, where the bolts run through. This side of the stock had been left noticeably thicker than the right side, and even after much sanding it still is.
I removed enough wood to ensure that the bolts would properly engage the threads in the lockplate with the brass washers installed. I doing this, I was careful to keep the sanding block square to remove the wood evenly. This took quite a while, but patience counts in this kind of work -- if you get in a hurry, you'll usually mess something up. Retire to the porch, put on some good music, and let the "sawdust" fall where it will!
Here you can see the bolt heads, without brass washers in place. Initially, the bolts would barely engage the threads in the lockplate, even without the washers. This is the side I worked down by sanding.
After sanding, with polished washers and bolts in place. Again, I've rounded the edges of the flat area, to produce warm, smooth lines rather than the harsh lines most factories leave.
Lock adjustment was performed when installing the trigger assembly.

Last night during his radio show, ′The Great One′, Mark Levin, revealed the title of his upcoming book, ′The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic.′ As promised, he gave a general outline on the subject of his new book, which will serve as a framework for action by concerned citizens. Levin focuses on using the second method of proposing new Constitutional Amendments as detailed in Article Five, where in a national convention is authorized by two-thirds of the state legislatures to pass a package of eleven, count′em, 11, new Amendments. Both methods, this one and the usual method of new Amendments being proposed by two-third majority votes in both houses of Congress, still require ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures before becoming part of our Constitution. Sounds great on paper but of the current 27 Amendments, the 17 of which that were passed after the original Bill of Rights all came from the Congressional pathway. While there have been several attempts to use the national convention method, none have succeeded. So is Mark Levin wasting our time? And what are these eleven proposed Liberty Amendments?
Perhaps a better question would be are our current crop of politicians wasting our time? Levin began his program listing the recent failings of all three branches of the federal government. He pulled no punches, blaming both main political parties for the trouble we are in. Both parties have strong and powerful caucuses of Progressive-Statists who share the ideology of promoting a larger and stronger federal government. The federal courts, including the Supreme Court, is no better than the bozos in the Capitol Building or the White House. So hoping for some positive change from these avenues seems very unlikely.
In the past, attempts to use the second method from Article Five have all failed. Namely due to a fear that to open the door to a national convention might result in a whole new constitution which will be even worse. While Mark Levin is optimistic that the three-quarters requirement for state legislatures to ratify any newly proposed amendments will be our safeguard, but, as the case of the 16th Amendment showed, that may not be sufficient. At least 12 of the 38 states which approved the amendment′s passage had issues. Indeed, only 20 states actually followed all procedures to the letter, including sending a written copy of amendment they passed, to the Secretary of State at the time, Philander Knox.
As for what the eleven Liberty Amendments are, we′ll have to wait. Mark Levin may start listing them before his new book comes out next month, as the full text and details will be in the book. During his radio show, ′The Great One′ did acknowledge that this will not be easy and will take some time. For example, the 16th Amendment took some 4 years to be allegedly ratified. The effort will require an active and engaged citizenry to achieve success. Which, of course, means that if we had such in place already, we might have a better crop of politicians in Washington now. Will the idea work? I will withhold any ′final′ opinion until I actually read what these eleven Liberty Amendments are. I′m assuming that there will be at least one on federal term limits and one requiring a balanced budget, but those are assumptions. In the meanwhile, I will wait until I get a copy of Mark Levin′s new book, ″The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic″ before passing judgment.
