Line up for the $5.99 steak-and-egg special and you can inhale the spirit of a bingo hall.
There stands Edith Green, of New Port Richey, who took up slots only because the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa dropped bingo three years ago.
"It seems like I would leave this place with a lot more money back then," says Green, who's been coming here for 20 years.
Now, zip to the other end of the Hard Rock complex, past the Council Oak restaurant, up an escalator and near a waterfall.
There stands Bill Childers, 33, of Jacksonville, waiting for the $30 Sunday champagne brunch.
"The next bet we make will be our first," Childers says.
Unlike the 4-year-old Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, which became an international tourist destination almost overnight, the 27-year-old Tampa casino is still evolving from its bingo-hall roots.
A recent upgrade of restaurants and shops, and the quiet addition of blackjack two months ago, has turned the casino into more than just a spot for locals. Now, it attracts adults fleeing from the Orlando theme parks or vacationers going to the west coast of Florida just to chill out.
The Tampa complex, on 37 acres, isn't as grandiose as Hollywood's, on 110 acres. Music, movie stars and pro athletes don't just drop in for a getaway. And there's no adjacent Seminole Paradise, although there is a Body Rock Spa, a Hard Rock souvenir store and a shop called Rainmaker, with original items handmade by the tribe.
But it's come a long way.
"No envy," Tampa Hard Rock President John Fontana says. "This place has a different feeling, a little more intimate. You feel like you know the people."
The bingo hall started as a 20,000-square-foot warehouse-type building. Then the Seminoles tacked on two additions and finally a makeshift five-trailer unit for non-smokers to exhale. A Sheraton hotel and private homes for some tribe members took up the rest of the grounds.
"I've been working at this place for 26 years, and my wife still tells people I work at a bingo hall," says Fontana, who started as an accountant at the tribe's original bingo hall in Hollywood.
In 2002, the Seminoles tore it all down. The hotel opened in 2004 with 250 rooms, and there have been two additions in the past 14 months: 50,000 square feet of casino, a VIP lounge and three restaurants in November 2007, and even more casino space this past November when blackjack — and a bigger-spending clientele — arrived.
Plans include 750 more rooms, five new restaurants, including a Hard Rock Cafe, and a 2,000-seat concert hall. (The Hollywood Hard Rock Live holds 5,500.)
And, of course, more space for gambling.
"It's the first time I've played here, but I've been waiting on this for years," says blackjack player Earl Stephens, 37, of Orlando, who says he frequents casinos in Tunica, Miss., or Atlantic City, N.J.
The casino has the decor you'd expect from a Hard Rock, including an Eric Clapton guitar and a Jimi Hendrix suede jacket. The memorabilia now goes beyond just display: Push a button and video clips, music and more photos provide historical context.
And people come to spend a day, so the Hard Rock built a bus terminal, with a 100-seat waiting area that looks like a clean Greyhound station.
Ty Eldien, of Tampa, who stands in line for the champagne brunch at Fresh Harvest with friends from Jacksonville, says the casino has emerged into something beyond a place to bet. His group hit Tampa bars until 6 a.m., with the Hard Rock the final stop.
"This is a great place for people-watching, and a place to see everything and do everything," Eldien says. "No other place around here really compares."
He and his friends advance to the front of the buffet line, which includes sushi, Italian food and a dessert bar featuring "the Kitchen Sink."
Behind them is a line of 100, maybe more.
At the casino, Larry Lizanich directs cash operations, the window area where players come to cash in. He started at the bingo hall snack bar 25 years ago.
He knows who's been sick, and who's been away to visit their grandchildren. He also knows who likes to keep their casino lives private.
"Some guests prefer to just take care of business," he says.
When he started, the casino had 107 employees.
"Now there are more than 3,000," he says. "When I think about that, it just amazes me."

When you have something large to transport, a trailer is typically a great option for things that won't fit in a car.
Or, y'know, a man running behind your van. Whichever.
In Russia, it seems that trailers are for the weak and having someone as strong as a bull run behind your car holding up pipe is preferable. We're not sure this is sustainable for a long journey, but we'd love to see them try.

About Delaware Township
Delightfully rural Delaware Township measures just over 37 square miles in western Hunterdon County. Rolling fields, farmland and forests characterize the bucolic scenery in this peaceful part of the state which shares a border with the Delaware River. Neighboring towns include Lambertville, Raritan Township, East and West Amwell, Franklin Township and Kingwood Township. Incorporated in 1838, Delaware's earliest settlers actually came to farm the land in the 1700s. Today, a population of about 4,500 residents are scatted throughout long-established communities named Sergeantsville, Croton, Locktown, Sand Brook, Raven Rock and Rosemont.
In addition to the Delaware River, the township's southern borders include the Delaware and Raritan Canal. New Jersey's last covered bridge is also located in Delaware Township; the circa 1872 landmark crosses over the Wickecheoke Creek, connecting Rosemont and Sergeantsville.
Community Life
Sergeantsville (the first syllable is pronounced "serge," not "sarge,") is located in the middle of Delaware Township and contains the post office, town hall and elementary school. This part of the township was named for Charles Sergeant, a soldier who served in the Revolutionary War.
Sergeantsville hosts a seasonal farmer's market across the street from the historic stone municipal building on Route 604. Locally produced fruit and vegetables as well as handmade goods and plants are displayed Saturday mornings from 8:30 until noon in the spring, summer and early fall.
One of the annual highlights that brings visitors from all over the region is the "Thanksgiving in the Country" home tour that takes place in Sergeantsville each November. Several local homes are chosen for their distinctive architectural or historic characteristics, and all proceeds for this fundraiser go to the Facial Reconstruction Unit of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Residents participate in Recreation Commission programs for all ages. These include volleyball and basketball teams for teens and adults and senior yoga. There are also day trips to local attractions, a concert series at the Locktown Stone Church, children's visit with Santa Claus, a Community Day with hot air balloon launch and town-wide yard sale on the township's schedule.
Local and state roadways in Delaware Township include Routes 12, 29 and 202. Exit 15 of Interstate 78/22 is located in the next town over, Franklin Township. Its location in the far western part of New Jersey makes Delaware Township commutable to business and corporate centers in towns like Princeton which is approximately 20 miles away, Trenton at 24 miles away or Philadelphia located 48 miles from the township. Midtown Manhattan is a trip of about 75 miles.Back to top
The Delaware Township School on Rosemont-Ringoes Road serves students in kindergarten through grade eight. The school is located on 26 acres in Sergeantsville.
High school students from Delaware Township attend Hunterdon Central Regional High School on Route 31 in Flemington. One of the largest campus-style high school districts in New Jersey, Hunterdon Central Regional High School is sited on 72 acres and includes four general classroom buildings, a music/communications building, a 2,000 seat field house and an instructional media center. The music/communications building houses an FM radio station and cable television station. About 3,100 students attend from Delaware, East Amwell, Raritan and Readington Townships and Flemington Borough.
Real Estate
Homes in Delaware Township run the gamut from restored early Colonial dwellings dating back to the early 1700s and antique fieldstone manors to luxury properties set on lot sizes of ten, 20, or 30-plus acres. Land offerings, historic homes, working farms, Victorians, and water-facing homes along a creek or stream are also found in the township's housing stock. There are neighborhoods of handsome homes and a selection of newer townhomes as well.Back to top
Local Attractions
Bull's Island State Park: Consisting of 79 acres, Bull's Island Recreation Area is situated on Bull's Island at Raven Rock along the Delaware River. It is a part of the 3,578-acre Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park and offers a boat launch, fishing and a nature trail. Visitors enjoy kayaking, tubing or canoeing along the river. The park entrance is located at 2185 Daniel Bray Highway.
Virginia Napurano Cultural Arts Center: The arts center hosts live music and art shows in a historic country church at 522 Rosemont-Ringoes Road in the Sergeantsville section of the township.
Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge: Crossing over the Wickecheoke Creek—a tributary of the Delaware River--this westbound, one lane only, wood-covered bridge is the oldest covered bridge in the state of New Jersey. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridge was built in 1872. It was named in honor of Richard Green Sergeant, a farmer who operated the nearby Sergeant's Mills and was known locally as Green Sergeant. In 1960 it was condemned as unsafe for heavy traffic and subsequently dismantled. Local residents protested the removal of the bridge, so it was rebuilt in 1961 using steel girders and reinforcements to strengthen the original lumber. This bridge is notable for being the last-standing historic bridge in the state; New Jersey once had approximately 75 covered bridges. It is located along Rosemont Ringoes Road.
Sergeantsville General Store: Established in 1847 at 601 Rosemont Ringoes Road, the store is located on the ground floor of charming three-story Victorian. Cyclists and local residents stop in for coffee, sandwiches, soup, and surprisingly, Chinese food.

Governor Scott: To Grow More Jobs for Florida Families, We Have to Support Florida Manufacturing
Today, Governor Rick Scott addressed members of the Florida Manufacturers Association on Manufacturing Days at the Florida State Capitol. Following the Governor's remarks, Governor Scott signed a "Building Up Florida Manufacturing" board that was signed by the members of the Florida Manufacturers Association and will be posted outside the Governor's office.
Governor Scott said, "To grow more jobs for Florida families, we have to support Florida manufacturing. In 2010, manufacturing made up only 4.3 percent of employment in Florida – which is significantly below the national average. For families to succeed, we need to build up our manufacturing jobs in Florida. That's why my Florida Families First budget eliminates the sales tax on manufacturing equipment. Indeed, by knocking down this barrier to job creation we're creating more opportunities for Florida families who are looking for stable jobs they can depend on. That's why I am looking forward to working with the Legislature this year to supporting manufacturing and growing jobs for Florida families."
Today, there are 17,500 manufacturing companies in Florida that employ more than 300,000 Florida families.
"The Governor's manufacturing agenda positions Florida to be a leader in innovation relative to developing new products and processes for competing globally," said Al Stimac, President of the Manufacturers Association of Florida.
"It is an important additional measure to make Florida a much better state for manufacturers," said Hannes Hunschofsky, President at Hoerbiger Corporation of America, Inc.
"Businesses are making decisions every day about where and how to invest scarce capital. Sales taxes on manufacturing equipment can be the deciding factor that either brings businesses to Florida or sends it to other states or countries," said Mike Williams, Manager, Public Affairs, PotashCorp.
"We are poised to be the best manufacturing state in the nation. The Governor's proposed sales tax exemption will secure that position for manufacturing and grow this investment in Florida," said Nancy Stephens, Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of Florida
Beth Kirkland, Chairman of the Florida Economic Development Council said, "The Florida Economic Development Council is the professional association of economic, workforce and community developers from Florida's 67 counties, over 400 cities, 24 workforce regions, 28 community colleges and 12 universities who are on the front lines in their communities assisting the manufacturing companies with job creation and capital investment in Florida. We are proud to stand with Governor Scott and the MAF, our strategic partner, in growing jobs for Florida families."
The Governor also highlighted that the Florida Families First Budget continues to work to eliminate the business tax by protecting 2,000 more small businesses in Florida from having to pay it. Governor Scott continued, "We have continued to phase out this tax each year, so businesses can keep more of the money they earn and pass it along to their employees and grow more jobs for Florida families."

Lyme Park :: SJ9682
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire, England. It is owned and administered by the National Trust with financial support from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.
The estate consists of a mansion house, dating from the latter part of the 16th century, surrounded by formal gardens set within in a large park. The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in their possession until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust.
The house is the largest in Cheshire, and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. The surrounding gardens and park are listed at Grade II* in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Cisco stunned the tech world yesterday when it said it would be firing 4,000 employees, even though it met analysts expectations for the quarter and the year.
This isn't the first layoff that Cisco announced this year. In March, a mere five months ago, Cisco said it was firing 500 people. Prior to this new round of 4,000 firings, Cisco had cut 8,000 jobs. So that's 12,000 jobs gone in the two years since Cisco's CEO John Chambers began his turnaround.
Cisco currently employs 74,135 employees worldwide. About 17,496 of those work in the company's Bay Area headquarters, and most of those are at its sprawling San Jose, California campus.
Chambers didn't say who would be targeted for the new round of cuts, though he put all of the company's middle managers on notice.
"We just have too much in the middle of the organization," he said in an earnings call with analysts.
He also has not said which business units will be hit, although he promised that "growth" units will be spared, specifically cloud, security, software, services, and video.
Christopher Young, senior vice president of Cisco's Security Group also said in a letter filed with the SEC that Sourcefire employees will not be cut.
So that leaves employees in the Cisco's bread-and-butter units like switching, routing, and wireless feeling nervous, as well as employees who work for the company's "other" units like collaboration.
One former Cisco employee told Business Insider that Cisco could tell 5,000 to 7,000 people that their job is going away with the end goal of firing 4,000.
"Cisco's standard is to give people two to four weeks to find another Cisco job and then lay them off," this former employee said. "They do a good job of making sure there aren't that many job openings so most people leave."
For the fourth quarter, Cisco reported $2.27 billion in profit, or 42 cents a share, up from $1.92 billion, or 36 cents in the year-earlier quarter. When taking out unusual expenses, Cisco reported adjusted profit per share at 52 cents. Analysts were expecting 51 cents. Revenue was up 6% to $12.42 billion from $11.69 billion, in line with expectations.
In a statement to Business Insider regarding the impending firings, a Cisco spokesperson said:
"During the earnings call on Aug 14th, Cisco announced actions to align resources to our top opportunities, balance expenses to revenue, drive efficiencies in the business, and invest in growth. These actions include prioritizing R&D, aligning new and existing talent to growth areas and a workforce reduction impacting approximately 4,000 employees, or ~5% of our workforce."

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), also known as the United Kingdom or Britain, is a country in the European Union. It has a population of more than 64 million people as of 2016. The territories of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales comprise the United Kingdom. The country is a monarchy and its head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who is the longest-serving head of state in the world.

- Britain has been moving earth and hell to obtain allies against us, yet it is improper in us to propose an alliance! Great Britain has borrowed all the superfluous wealth of Europe, in Italy, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, and some in France, to murder us, yet it is dishonorable in us to propose to borrow money! By heaven, I would make a bargain with all Europe, if it lay with me. Let all Europe stand still, neither lend men nor money nor ships to England nor America, and let them fight it out alone. I would give my share of millions for such a bargain. America is treated unfairly and ungenerously by Europe. But thus it is, mankind will be servile to tyrannical masters, and basely devoted to vile idols.

- These are some of the first principles of natural law & Justice, and the great Barriers of all free states, and of the British Constitution in particular. It is utterly irreconcilable to these principles, and to many other fundamental maxims of the common law, common sense and reason, that a British house of commons, should have a right, at pleasure, to give and grant the property of the Colonists. That these Colonists are well entitled to all the essential rights, liberties and privileges of men and freemen, born in Britain, is manifest, not only from the Colony charter, in general, but acts of the British Parliament…. Had the Colonists a right to return members to the British parliament, it would only be hurtful; as from their local situation and circumstances it is impossible they should be ever truly and properly represented there. The inhabitants of this country in all probability in a few years will be more numerous, than those of Great Britain and Ireland together; yet it is absurdly expected by the promoters of the present measures, that these, with their posterity to all generations, should be easy while their property shall be disposed of by a house of commons at three thousand miles distant from them...

- The twentieth century saw Britain having to redefine its place in the world. At the beginning of the century, it commanded a world-wide empire as the foremost global power. Two world wars and the end of empire diminished its role, but the UK remains an economic and military power, with considerable political and cultural influence around the world. Britain was the world's first industrialized country. Its economy remains one of the largest, but it has for many years been based on service industries rather than on manufacturing.

- I am constantly filled with admiration at this – at the way you can wander through a town like Oxford and in the space of a few hundred yards pass the home of Christopher Wren, the buildings where Halley found his comet and Boyle his first law, the track where Roger Banister ran the first sub-four minute mile, the meadow where Lewis Carroll strolled; or how you can stand on Snow's Hill at Windsor and see, in a single sweep, Windsor Castle, the playing fields of Eton, the churchyard where Gray wrote his 'Elegy,' the site The Merry Wives of Windsor was first performed. Can there anywhere on earth be, in such a modest span, a landscape more packed with centuries of busy, productive attainment?
- Bill Bryson, as quoted in Notes from a Small Island
- On behalf of the American people, I thank the world for its outpouring of support. America will never forget the sounds of our National Anthem playing at Buckingham Palace, on the streets of Paris, and at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. We will not forget South Korean children gathering to pray outside our embassy in Seoul, or the prayers of sympathy offered at a mosque in Cairo. We will not forget moments of silence and days of mourning in Australia and Africa... America has no truer friend than Great Britain. Once again, we are joined together in a great cause — so honored the British Prime Minister has crossed an ocean to show his unity of purpose with America. Thank you for coming, friend.

- When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network, a series of semi-autonomous British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology, I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.
By blaming the government for our actions, those who pushed the 'Blair's bombs' line did our propaganda work for us. More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

- I have always said that if Great Britain were defeated in war I hoped we should find a Hitler to lead us back to our rightful position among the nations. I am sorry, however, that he has not been mellowed by the great success that has attended him. The whole world would rejoice to see the Hitler of peace and tolerance, and nothing would adorn his name in world history so much as acts of magnanimity and of mercy and of pity to the forlorn and friendless, to the weak and poor. … Let this great man search his own heart and conscience before he accuses anyone of being a warmonger.

- ...the twelve or fifteen millions in the British Empire, who, while they possess no electoral rights, are yet persuaded they are freemen, and who are mystified into the notion that they are not political bondmen, by that great juggle of the 'English Constitution'—a thing of monopolies, and Church-craft, and sinecures, armorial hocus-pocus, primogeniture, and pageantry!

- Britain has been terrorized by an underclass of welfare-dependent, drug-addled criminal scum who have been allowed to run riot in the streets because the police haven't been allowed to do their job and protect the public. The media is full of speculation about why it happened and what is the root cause. Well, that's easy. The root cause is stupidity. A complete lack of imagination. A stunted, feral view of the world that amounts to self-inflicted moral and mental disablement. And it's the direct product of an entitlement culture that rewards idleness, encourages victimhood, and compensates criminals.
- Pat Condell, Britain is a riot (August 11, 2011; from YouTube)
- We no longer enjoy the same liberties Americans do. We don't have a constitution. We don't have a First Amendment. What we have, and what the whole of Europe has, is the Lisbon Treaty, a kind of top-down constitution that has been imposed on us against our will. And, unlike the American Constitution which empowers the people, the European constitution dis-empowers the people, and empowers the un-elected bureaucrats and career politicians for whose sole benefit it was created.
- Pat Condell, Europe needs a revolution (August 25, 2011; from YouTube)
- As to the doctrine of slavery and the right of Christians to hold Africans in perpetual servitude, and sell and treat them as we do our horses and cattle, that, it is true, has been heretofore countenanced by the Province Laws formerly, but nowhere is it expressly enacted or established. It has been a usage–a usage which took its origin from the practice of some of the European nations, and the regulations of British government.
- Look at England, whose mighty power is now felt, and for centuries has been felt, all around the world. It is worthy of special remark, that precisely those parts of that proud island which have received the largest and most diversified populations, are to day the parts most distinguished for industry, enterprise, invention and general enlightenment. In Wales, and in the Highlands of Scotland the boast is made of their pure blood, and that they were never conquered, but no man can contemplate them without wishing they had been conquered. They are far in the rear of every other part of the English realm in all the comforts and conveniences of life, as well as in mental and physical development. Neither law nor learning descends to us from the mountains of Wales or from the Highlands of Scotland. The ancient Briton, whom Julius Caesar would not have as a slave, is not to be compared with the round, burly, amplitudinous Englishman in many of his qualities of desirable manhood.
- Frederick Douglass, "Our Composite Nationality" (7 December 1869), Boston, Massachusetts
- Five generations ago, Britain was ashamed to write books in her own tongue. Now her language is spoken in all quarters of the globe.
- Frederick Douglass, "Self-Made Men" (1872)
- Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided society. The number of 'peace walls', physical barriers separating Catholic and Protestant communities, has increased sharply since the first cease-fires in 1994. Most people in the region cannot envisage the barriers being removed, according to a recent survey conducted by the University of Ulster. In housing and education, Northern Ireland remains one of the most segregated tracts of land anywhere on the planet. Less than one in ten children attends a school that is integrated between Catholics and Protestant. This figure has remained stubbornly low despite the cessation of violence.
- Peter Geoghegan, "Return of the Troubles: Is Northern Ireland falling apart all over again?" (20 December 2012), Foreign Policy
- The reason that the UK has such high crime rates is because no one owns guns.
- Steven Goddard, "Wyoming Crime Rates Among The Lowest In The Country" (8 January 2013), Real Science, WordPress
- The sayings of the Briton resound with the wisdom of the heart and sage comprehension of life...
- Nikolai Gogol. Dead Souls, the "prose poem" originally written in 1835—1852, Chapter V finale, 1922 translation by Constance Garnett
- The British monarchy inculcates unthinking credulity and servility. It forms a heavy layer on the general encrustation of our unreformed political institutions. It is the gilded peg from which our unlovely system of social distinction and hierarchy depends. It is an obstacle to the objective public discussion of our own history. It tribalises politics. It entrenches the absurdity of the hereditary principle. It contributes to what sometimes looks like an enfeeblement of the national intelligence, drawing from our press and even from some of our poets the sort of degrading and abnegating propaganda that would arouse contempt if displayed in Zaire or Romania. It is, in short, neither dignified nor efficient...
The United States, for example, has never had a President as bad as George III, but neither has Britain had a king as admirable as George Washington (of whom William Thackeray rightly said that 'his glory will descend to remotest ages' while the memory of the sovereign went the other way).
- Christopher Hitchens, The Monarchy: A Critique of Britain's Favourite Fetish (1990), Random House
- In today's Britain, the idea that there could be a Constitution more powerful - and even sacrosanct - than any crowned head or elected politician (thus abolishing the false antithesis between hereditary monarchs and capricious presidents) is thought of as a breathtakingly new and daring idea...
Too many crucial things about this country turn out to be highly recommended because they are 'invisible'. There is the 'hidden hand' of the free market, the 'unwritten' Constitution, the 'invisible earnings' of the financial service sector, the 'magic' of monarchy and the 'mystery' of the Church and its claim to the interpretation of revealed truth. When we do get as far as the visible or the palpable, too much of it is deemed secret. How right it is that senior ministers, having kissed hands with the monarch, are sworn to the cult of secrecy by 'The Privy Council Oath'. How right it is that our major foreign alliance - the 'special relationship' with the United States - is codified by no known treaty and regulated by no known Parliamentary instrument.
- Christopher Hitchens, The Monarchy: A Critique of Britain's Favourite Fetish (1990), Chatto Counterblasts
- Deep is the primitive belief that it is the Anglo-Saxons, more than the CIA, more even than the Jews, who are the puppet masters of everything that happens in Iran.
- In addition to relative indifference to the fate of the euro area, Britain is more protected because of speculation the central bank may intervene directly to finance the debt ... Europe is not a cash box, let alone a cashpoint...
The British have been particularly shy about the issues of financial regulation, and attentive only to the interests of the City – hence their reluctance to see the introduction of a tax on financial transactions and tax harmonisation in Europe.
- I know about your [British] system of democracy, but in that system the workers 'hold keys of straw', as an expression of ours puts it. It is democracy for the capitalists, for the lords, but not for the workers. When we win we shall establish democracy, but not like that democracy of yours.
- Enver Hoxha (1986) The Artful Albanian, (Chatto & Windus, London), ISBN 0701129700
- No! No! Gentlemen, no emotion for me. But, those of congratulation. I am happy. To die is the irreversible decree of him who made us. Then what joy to be able to meet death without dismay. This, thank God, is my case. The happiness of man is my wish, that happiness I deem inconsistent with slavery, and to avert so great an evil from an innocent people, I will gladly meet the British tomorrow, at any odds whatever.
- Johann de Kalb, in August 1780, as quoted in "Death of Baron De Kalb" (1849), by Benjamin Franklin Ells, The Western Miscellany, Volume 1, p. 233.
- For the most trifling reasons, and sometimes for no conceivable reason at all, his majesty has rejected laws of the most salutary tendency. The abolition of domestic slavery is the great object of desire in those colonies where it was unhappily introduced in their infant state. But previous to the infranchisement of the slaves we have, it is necessary to exclude all further importations from Africa. Yet our repeated attempts to effect this by prohibitions, and by imposing duties which might amount to a prohibition, have been hitherto defeated by his majesty's negative: thus preferring the immediate advantages of a few British corsairs to the lasting interests of the American states, and to the rights of human nature deeply wounded by this infamous practice.
- He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in an other hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of INFIDEL powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the LIBERTIES of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the LIVES of an other.
- We must, therefore,…hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
- We shall form to the American union a barrier against the dangerous extension of the British.
- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to George Rogers Clark (25 December 1780)
- The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of its motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness.
- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William S. Smith (13 November 1787), The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, ed. Julian P. Boyd, vol. 12, p. 356 (1955)
- Great Britain is a republic with a hereditary president, while the United States is a monarchy with an elective king.
- The Knoxville Journal (9 February 1896), as quoted in "The Politics of American Foreign Policy" by Peter Heys Gries, p. 170.
- There is no doubt that the treacherous attack has confirmed that Britain and America are acting on behalf of Israel and the Jews, paving the way for the Jews to divide the Muslim world once again, enslave it and loot the rest of its wealth.
- Osama bin Laden, regarding Operation Desert Fox (December 1998). As quoted in Time magazine interview (23 December 1998).
- At the battle of Waterloo, when Napoleon's cavalry had charged again and again upon the unbroken squares of British infantry, at last they were giving up the attempt, and going off in disorder, when some of the officers in mere vexation and complete despair fired their pistols at those solid squares.
- Abraham Lincoln, Speech at New Haven, Connecticut (6 March 1860).
- I was stopped by a soldier, he said 'You are a swine'. He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin, I begged and I pleaded, sure me manners were polite. But all the time I'm thinking of my little Armalite... A brave RUC man came marching up into our street, six hundred British soldiers he had lined up at his feet. 'Come out, ye cowardly Fenians, come out and fight'. But he cried, 'I'm only joking', when he heard the Armalite.
- The European Union and many of its countries, which used to take initiatives in the United Nations for peaceful settlements of conflict, are now one of the most important war assets of the U.S./NATO front. Many countries have also been drawn into complicity in breaking international law through U.S./U.K./NATO wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and so on.
- The British tourist is always happy abroad as long as the natives are waiters.
- Robert Morley, The Observer (20 April 1958), as quoted in More Caviar (1959), by Art Buchwald. Harper, p. 54
- We were wrong to believe that the British are our friends. You are obsessed solely with your own selfish interests and treat us as a people beyond the pale. But your attitude is a matter of profound disinterest. Your democratic system has already erupted into chaos. We shall soon overtake you and in a decade you will be struggling in our wake. Perhaps then you will remember how you treated us.
- Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, as quoted in The Shah and I (1991), by Asadollah Alam, I. B. Tauris, p. 237
- But where says some is the King of America? I'll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain. Yet that we may not appear to be defective even in earthly honors, let a day be solemnly set apart for proclaiming the charter; let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve as monarchy, that in America the law is king.
- Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
- The glorious and ever memorable Revolution can be justified on no other principles but what doth plead with greater force for the emancipation of our slaves, in proportion as the oppression exercised over them exceeds the oppression formerly exercised by Great Britain over these states.
- Petition from Frederick County (1784), Virginia
- The position of the United Kingdom is as usual so nuanced that it's difficult to see where they are on the spectrum, but look, that's what Britain's like and we all love being British.
- Fabian Picardo describing the UK government's position on the UN Decolonisation Committee (2012)
- His expedition against the Britanni was celebrated for its daring. For he was the first to launch a fleet upon the western ocean and to sail through the Atlantic sea carrying an army to wage war. The island was of incredible magnitude, and furnished much matter of dispute to multitudes of writers, some of whom averred that its name and story had been fabricated, since it never had existed and did not then exist and in his attempt to occupy it he carried the Roman supremacy beyond the confines of the inhabited world
- Plutarch, as quoted in The Life of Julius Caesar
- [I]t's not impossible but it's difficult, for a non-white person to be British.
- Enoch Powell, as quoted in Iain Macleod (1994), by Robert Shepherd, Hutchinson, p. 366
- Tan-sun Moon: It's pathetic that you British still believe you have the right to police the world.
- Die Another Day (November 2002), written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
- British politicians had helped fuel a steep rise in racist hate crimes... The committee on the elimination of racial discrimination said many prominent politicians should share the blame for the outbreak of xenophobia and intimidation against ethnic minorities.
- Ben Quinn, "Six teenage boys arrested over death of Polish man in Essex" (30 August 2016), The Guardian
- We share a deep concern for peace and justice in Northern Ireland and condemn all violence and terrorism in that strife-torn land. We support the process of peace and reconciliation established by the Anglo-Irish Agreement, and we encourage new investment and economic reconstruction in Northern Ireland on the basis of strict equality of opportunity and non-discrimination in employment.
- Republican Party Platform of 1988 (16 August 1988), Republican National Convention.
- We urge peace and justice for Northern Ireland. We welcome the newly begun process of constitutional dialogue that holds so much promise. We encourage investment and reconstruction to create opportunity for all.
- Republican Party Platform of 1992 (17 August 1992), Republican National Convention.
- The epidemic of racism on the British left has proven so virulent.
- Michael M. Rosen, "On Holocaust Remembrance Day, anti-Semitism Remains a Scourge" (4 May 2016), National Review
- Go on home British soldiers, go on home. Have you got no fucking homes of your own? For 800 years we've fought you without fear and we will fight you for 800 more. We'll fight them British soldiers for the cause. We'll never bow to soldiers because throughout our history we were born to be free. So get out British bastards leave us be.
- What two ideas are more inseparable than Beer and Britannia?
- Sydney Smith, as quoted in The Smith of Smiths
- Most countries are founded in conquest. Europe, conquest, conquest and more conquest. Look at Britain. Before becoming an empire, it was conquered by the Norman kings of France and earlier by the Romans.
- Britain still thinks it's 1999.
- Irwin Stelzer, "Letter from Londonistan" (1 August 2005), The Weekly Standard
- The quickest way to understand modern Britain is to look at what LBJ's Great Society did to the black family and imagine it applied to the general population.
- Mark Steyn, After America: Get Ready for Armageddon (2011), Regnery Publishing, pp. 206–206
- We shall have to learn again to be one nation, or one day we shall be no nation.
- And I will go on criticising Socialism, and opposing Socialism because it is bad for Britain – and Britain and Socialism are not the same thing. (...) It's the Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation. They've got the usual Socialist disease – they've run out of other people's money.
- Margaret Thatcher, In a speech to the Conservative Party Conference (10 October, 1975) [1]
- The last sentence is widely paraphrased as "The trouble/problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
- My job is to stop Britain going red.
- Margaret Thatcher, Statement (3 November 1977)
- Madame Chairman, I presume this as to enable us to sweep Britain clean of Socialism.
- Margaret Thatcher, At a Tory party conference, holding a brush. (date unknown)
- I can't bear Britain in decline. I just can't.
- Margaret Thatcher, Interviewed by Michael Cockerell for BBC TV's Campaign '79 (27 April, 1979).
- We are not asking for a penny piece of Community money for Britain. What we are asking is for a very large amount of our own money back, over and above what we contribute to the Community, which is covered by our receipts from the Community.
- Margaret Thatcher, Statement at a press conference when she was trying to renegotiate Britain's EEC budget contribution at the EEC Summit in Dublin (30 November 1979). Often quoted as "I want my money back".
- I am sure you will agree that, in Britain with our democratic institutions and the need for a high degree of consent, some of the measures adopted in Chile are quite unacceptable. Our reform must be in line with our traditions and our Constitution. At times the process may seem painfully slow. But I am certain we shall achieve our reforms in our own way and in our own time. Then they will endure.
- Margaret Thatcher, Letter from Margaret Thatcher to Friedrich Hayek (February 17, 1982)
- I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society – from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain.
- In a decision of the utmost gravity, Labour voted to give up Britain's independent nuclear deterrent unilaterally. Labour's defence policy – though "defence" is scarcely the word—is an absolute break with the defence policy of every British Government since the Second World War. Let there be no doubt about the gravity of that decision. You cannot be a loyal member of NATO while disavowing its fundamental strategy. A Labour Britain would be a neutralist Britain. It would be the greatest gain for the Soviet Union in forty years. And they would have got it without firing a shot.
- Mr. Chairman, you have invited me to speak on the subject of Britain and Europe. Perhaps I should congratulate you on your courage. If you believe some of the things said and written about my views on Europe, it must seem rather like inviting Genghis Khan to speak on the virtues of peaceful coexistence! ...The European Community is one manifestation of that European identity, but it is not the only one. We must never forget that east of the Iron Curtain, peoples who once enjoyed a full share of European culture, freedom and identity have been cut off from their roots. We shall always look on Warsaw, Prague and Budapest as great European cities...To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the centre of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging and would jeopardise the objectives we seek to achieve. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality...it is ironic that just when those countries such as the Soviet Union, which have tried to run everything from the centre, are learning that success depends on dispersing power and decisions away from the centre, there are some in the Community who seem to want to move in the opposite direction. We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.
- No theory of government was ever given a fairer test or a more prolonged experiment in a democratic country than democratic socialism received in Britain. Yet it was a miserable failure in every respect. Far from reversing the slow relative decline of Britain vis-à-vis its main industrial competitors, it accelerated it. We fell further behind them, until by 1979 we were widely dismissed as 'the sick man of Europe'...To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.
- Margaret Thatcher, The Downing Street Years (1993), pp. 7-8.
- The significance of the Falklands War was enormous, both for Britain's self-confidence and for our standing in the world...We had come to be seen by both friends and enemies as a nation which lacked the will and the capability to defend its interests in peace, let alone in war. Victory in the Falklands changed that. Everywhere I went after the war, Britain's name meant something more than it had. The war also had real importance in relations between East and West: years later I was told by a Russian general that the Soviets had been firmly convinced that we would not fight for the Falklands, and that if we did fight we would lose. We proved them wrong on both counts, and they did not forget the fact.
- Margaret Thatcher, The Downing Street Years (1993), pp. 173-4.
- Not that this appears to affect the intentions of the political-bureaucratic elite, which in Britain as elsewhere in Europe believes that it has an overriding mission to achieve European integration by hook or by crook and which is convinced that History (with an extra-large 'H') is on its side.
- Margaret Thatcher, The Downing Street Years (1993), pp. 388
- We're leaving Downing Street for the last time after eleven-and-a-half wonderful years, and we're very happy that we leave the United Kingdom in a very, very much better state than when we came here eleven and a half years ago.
- When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out of the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sung this strain:
"Rule, Britannia, rule the waves;
Britons never will be slaves."
- James Thomson, Alfred: a Masque, II, V.
- The United Kingdom and the United States are bound together by a common historic heritage, language, and heroes. The traditions of freedom, sovereignty, and the true rule of law were our shared gift to the world. They're now our priceless inheritance to a civilization. We must never cease to be united in their defense and in their renewal.
- The British have always fought, to be sure. No nation on Earth can be taken seriously in historical circles unless it has had at least one war with the British; it's like not having an American Express card. And yet the very idea of Britain in a contemporary war is a shock. Britain, one feels, fights in history books and not on TV.
- Gene Wolfe, "A Few Points About knife Throwing", Fantasy Newsletter (1983), as reprinted in Gene Wolfe, Castle of Days (1992)

text:
The most important change in this version is the update of the class library to the GNU Classpath 0.19 release. The difference in usability is huge, because SableVM SDK 1.12 used GNU Classpath 0.16 and since its release there's been plenty of improvements to GNU Classpath (Swing being probably still the most visible to a user). Way to go guys!
SableVM SDK is meant as a relatively complete replacement of a Java Software Development Kit. An important goal is also the ease of installation. To achieve it all the separate software pieces have been integrated into one source archive that (once its build-time dependencies are fulfilled) can be simply installed all at once.
Just a short reminder about what's inside:
- SableVM and SableVM Classpath (based on GNU Classpath 0.19)
- CP-Tools (javap, javah, serialver, ...)
- Fastjar
- GJDOC (javadoc drop-in replacement)
- Jikes
- LibFFI and LibPOPT (now part of SableVM)
Have fun with it! And don't forget to let us know of your experiences!

Life IS Hard!Posted in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care on October 13th, 2010 by Jim Hughes – 2 Comments
These days I tend to spend time with people going through tough times in their lives. I now hear stories and details that in the past I wouldn't have known. Because people know that I provide pastoral care, they tend to tell me things that they don't share with others.
It has made me a lot more sensitive to the fact that life is hard.
And I recognize that for most of my life I was not as aware. Not that I wouldn't know that people were dealing with life issues — cancer, death of a loved one, caring for a parent with Alzheimer's, etc. But I was not in a position to know the details, to hear their stories. So I didn't recognize how very hard what they were dealing with was.
You may be one of these people for whom life is hard right now. If so, then you know, and can empathize with others going through similar times.
If you're not, then just be aware that there are folks all around you every day for whom life is hard. And that a gentle word, a gentle touch, can mean so much, even if you don't know all the details.

4 Research-Backed Anti-aging Skincare Ingredients
- Dec 1, 2014

Laugh lines, age spots, full-on wrinkles . . . if you're alive, then you're aging, and if you're aging, you'll eventually start to notice these telltale signs. "Aging is, at least in part, the result of accumulating damage to proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids [DNA and RNA] that make up your cells," says Jeanette Jacknin, MD, a holistic dermatologist and author of Smart Medicine for Your Skin (Avery, 2001). The results: Your skin gets thinner; collagen, the main protein that keeps skin taut, becomes less elastic, causing wrinkles; and exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays adds up, leading to brown spots and sagging skin.
Your first defense is to protect skin from environmental pollutants, including UV rays (wear your sunscreen) and cigarette smoke, and avoid collagen-attacking foods like trans fats and refined sugars. But what about damage already done? When used regularly for at least 30 days, these research-supported natural ingredients can help you save face.
Best for UV-damage correction, skin firming and brightening. Nearly 70,000 algae types exist, and many boast an array of beautifying benefits thanks to photoprotective and antioxidant qualities. Two of the most impressive: red algae and single-celled green chlorella.
The proof: Red algae's anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and antioxidant properties ease irritation and fight free radicals when used topically. Green chlorella contains chlorella growth factor (CGF), rich in RNA, DNA, vitamins, and minerals. CGF increases cell renewal, helping to replace unhealthy skin cells with new fresh ones; it also curbs sun damage by counteracting UV-triggered collagen degradation while supporting and firming the dermis and epidermis.
Coenzyme Q10 (coQ10)
Best for wrinkle reduction, UV-damage correction. Also known as ubiquinone, this vitamin-like antioxidant substance is even more potent than vitamin E, a common ingredient in skincare products. As you age, your body produces less coQ10 and skin cells become less capable of repairing themselves; coQ10 in supplements or topical products improves skin cell function and protects cells from oxidative stress.
The proof: According to research, coQ10 can reduce fine lines and wrinkles by combating aging symptoms at the cellular level; it also smooths rough skin and reverses UV damage.
Best for skin brightening. This root, primarily grown in Greece, Turkey, and Asia, contains glabridin, a compound that Japanese scientists found to lighten skin by suppressing melanin formation.
The proof: Studies showed that a topical application of 0.5 percent glabridin inhibited UVB–induced pigmentation and redness. Other studies confirm that licorice reduces hyperpigmentation and brightens skin.
Plant Stem Cells
Best for wrinkle reduction, skin firming. One of natural beauty's rising stars, plant stem cells are most commonly extracted from fruits such as apples and grapes. Because skin cells die frequently, replenishing them with plant stem cells is a leading way to prevent and reverse signs of aging.
The proof: New research supports plant stem cells' ability to help the skin's own stem cell production. They also assist with cell differentiation, a process that creates proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids that repair fine lines and maintains the skin's firmness and elasticity, according to Jacknin.

No. 78,554
CONTINENTAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a/k/a
Summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
The construction of a written instrument is a question of law, and the instrument may be construed and its legal effect determined by an appellate court. Whether an instrument is ambiguous is a matter of law to be decided by the court. This court's review of questions of law is unlimited.
K.S.A. 40-3106(b) states that a nonresident self-insurer, approved by an agency of the state in which the car is registered, may certify its compliance with K.S.A. 40-3107 by filing a form with the Kansas Insurance Department.
By opting to become a nonresident self-insurer, the self-insurer obligates itself under the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act (KAIRA), K.S.A. 40-3101 et seq., to pay damages caused by a car accident involving the permissive use of the self-insurer's car.
Although a self-insurance certificate may omit certain mandatory requirements of the KAIRA, K.S.A. 40-3107(g) requires that the certificate be construed to obligate the self-insurer to meet all the mandatory requirements and obligations of the KAIRA.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; THOMAS E. MALONE, judge. Opinion filed November 6, 1998. Affirmed.
Joel W. Riggs, of McMaster & McMaster, of Wichita, for appellant.
Carol B. Bonebrake and Susan L. Mauch, of Cosgrove, Webb & Oman, of Topeka, for appellee.
Before KNUDSON, P.J., GREEN, J., and DANIEL A. DUNCAN, District Judge, assigned.
GREEN, J.: Dorothy Burt appeals from a judgment of the trial court denying her partial summary judgment motion against garnishees Continental Insurance Company (Continental) and its insured, Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc. (Alamo). Burt maintains that Continental was required to pay not only the statutory minimum liability coverage of $25,000 but also the amount of her judgment in excess of the minimum liability coverage. Burt contends that the trial court erred in determining that Alamo's self-insurance certificate required it to pay, instead of Continental, the minimum coverage of $25,000 and in granting summary judgment in favor of Continental. We disagree and affirm.
Burt sued Gerhard Schrubba, a German national; Alamo; and her own insurer, General Casualty Company of Wisconsin (General Casualty), claiming that Schrubba negligently injured her with a car he had rented from Alamo. Schrubba rented the car in Colorado and was driving it in Great Bend, Kansas, when the accident occurred. Burt later dismissed her suit against Alamo and General Casualty, maintaining only her suit against Schrubba. In July 1995, Schrubba confessed judgment in the amount of $100,000. Schrubba and Burt entered into an agreement by which Burt promised not to execute on the personal assets of Schrubba, and Schrubba assigned to Burt any rights he had against Continental. Later, Burt garnished both Continental and Alamo.
Burt argues that the trial court improperly granted summary judgment in favor of Continental. Summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Mitzner v. State Dept. of SRS, 257 Kan. 258, 260, 891 P.2d 435 (1995). Whether the trial court erred in granting Continental summary judgment depends upon the construction given the language of the policy. Our Supreme Court has frequently observed that "'[a]s a general rule, the construction and effect of a contract of insurance is a matter of law to be determined by the court. If the facts are admitted, then it is for the court to decide whether they come within the terms of the policy.' Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co. v. Horinek, 233 Kan. 175, Syl. ¶ 1, 660 P.2d 1374 (1983)." Harris v. Richards, 254 Kan. 549, 552, 867 P.2d 325 (1994). Here, the facts are essentially undisputed.
Alamo's Rental Agreement
Under the rental agreement, Alamo agreed to furnish Schrubba with minimum liability coverage required by the state where the accident occurred. The rental agreement stated:
"Liability insurance: You [Alamo] provide me [Schrubba] with liability insurance or protection that will cover bodily injury, death, or property damage only up to the minimum financial responsibility required by State law. I [Schrubba] agree that any amounts over this minimum will be covered by me or by my liability policy and I will indemnify you for any losses that exceed the minimum limits. I can see a copy of your policy or self-insurance certificate at your rental office."
Alamo's Self-Insurance Certificate
When Schrubba rented the Colorado-licensed car, Alamo had qualified for and received a certificate of self-insurance under the Colorado Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law. The self-insurance certificate indicates Alamo is self-insured for up to $25,000 for bodily injury or death resulting from an automobile accident involving an Alamo vehicle.
Continental's Policy
Alamo also carried a Continental insurance policy. The Continental policy provided coverage as follows: "[Continental] will pay all sums an 'insured' legally must pay as damages because of 'bodily injury' or 'property damage' to which this insurance applies, caused by an 'accident' and resulting from the ownership, maintenance or use of a covered 'auto.'" An endorsement to the policy further stated that liability coverage for leased automobiles was subject to the following provision: "The insurance provided by this endorsement is excess over any other collectible insurance, whether primary, excess or contingent, unless such insurance is specifically written to apply in excess of this policy."
Because Alamo's rental agreement provided Schrubba protection up to the minimum amount required by the state in which Schrubba had an accident, the trial court concluded that the Continental policy furnished only excess coverage for the car accident in question. The trial court further concluded that Alamo was self-insured up to $25,000 and that Continental would provide coverage only if an accident occurred in a state where the minimum financial responsibility exceeded $25,000. However, because the minimum financial responsibility in Kansas is $25,000 under K.S.A. 40-3107(e), the trial court concluded that the Continental policy did not provide coverage for the accident.
Burt, however, argues that the Colorado self-insurance certificate does not cover the Kansas accident because K.S.A. 40-3106(b) of the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act (KAIRA), K.S.A. 40-3101 et seq., requires a nonresident self-insurer to certify its compliance by filing a form with the Kansas Insurance Department. Although Alamo did not file the K.S.A. 40-3106(b) form, the trial court determined that K.S.A. 40-3106(b) did not mandate this action but instead made it permissive. "Interpretation of a statute is a question of law, and this court's review is unlimited. [Citation omitted.]" Hamilton v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 263 Kan. 875, 879, 953 P.2d 1027 (1998). K.S.A. 40-3106(b) states:
"Every insurance company authorized to transact the business of motor vehicle liability insurance in this state shall file with the commissioner as a condition of its continued transaction of such business within this state a form approved by the commissioner declaring that its motor vehicle liability policies, wherever issued, shall be deemed to provide the insurance required by K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto, when the vehicle is operated in this state. Any nonadmitted insurer may file such a form. A qualified self-insurer, approved by an agency of the state in which the vehicles are registered, may certify its compliance with K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto, on a form prescribed by the commissioner." (Emphasis added.)
Because subsection (b) does not make it mandatory that a nonresident self-insurer must certify its compliance by filing a form with the Kansas Insurance Department, Burt's argument fails.
Next, relying on Overbaugh v. Strange, 254 Kan. 605, 867 P.2d 1016 (1993), Burt maintains incorrectly that self-insurance certificates only insure self-insurers, like Alamo, and not permissive car users, like Schrubba. As a result, Burt argues that Continental's policy furnished the only insurance coverage for lessees of Alamo's cars. We disagree. Overbaugh involved a nonresident self-insured employer whose employee was involved in an accident while driving a covered car. The Overbaugh court pointed out that because the employer opted to become a self-insurer, the employer was representing that it would pay any damages caused by one of its employees while driving a covered car. As a result, the Overbaugh court reasoned that the employer was subject to the requirements of K.S.A. 40-3107.
Likewise, when Alamo opted to become a self-insurer, Alamo obligated itself to pay damages caused by Schrubba while operating Alamo's rental car. Furthermore, in interpreting K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 40-3103(u), K.S.A. 40-3106, and K.S.A. 40-3107(b), the Overbaugh court stated that these statutes require nonresident self-insurers to cover not only themselves, but also "'any other person . . . using any such vehicle with the expressed or implied consent' of the self-insurer against 'liability imposed by law for damages.'" 254 Kan. at 616-17. From the above analysis, we determine that Alamo was subject to K.S.A. 40-3107 and that K.S.A. 40-3107(e) imposed a duty on Alamo to pay the statutory minimum liability coverage of $25,000.
Burt also argues that the Colorado self-insurance certificate is void because it does not "contain stated limits of liability, exclusive of interest and costs" and personal injury protection benefits as required by KAIRA under K.S.A. 40-3107(e) and (f). Nevertheless, regardless of whether the Colorado self-insurance certificate omits certain mandatory requirements of the KAIRA, K.S.A. 40-3107(g) requires that the certificate shall "be construed to obligate the insurer to meet all the mandatory requirements and obligations of this act." (Emphasis added.) As a result, the trial court properly determined that Alamo was self-insured up to $25,000 in this case.
Finally, Burt argues Continental should be estopped from denying coverage because Continental admitted it provided for the $25,000 minimum liability coverage before the garnishment proceedings. Burt points to a letter from a claims adjuster and an answer to an interrogatory as proof of her point. The documents alone do not prove Burt's allegation. Moreover, Continental argues Burt failed to raise this issue before the trial court and, therefore, is prohibited from raising it on appeal. However, a review of Burt's motion for partial summary judgment reveals that Burt did raise this issue. Included in the record is a journal entry reflecting the trial court's decision denying Burt's motion. The journal entry simply reads "overruled for reasons set forth on the record." Nevertheless, because the portion of the record referred to is not included in the record on appeal, this court cannot review this issue. An appellant has the burden to designate a record sufficient to establish the claimed error. Without an adequate record, the claim of alleged error fails. McCubbin v. Walker, 256 Kan. 276, 295, 886 P.2d 790 (1994).
In any event,
"[a] party seeking to invoke equitable estoppel must show that the acts, representations, admissions, or silence of another party (when it had a duty to speak) induced the first party to believe certain facts existed. There must also be a showing the first party rightfully relied and acted upon such belief and would now be prejudiced if the other party were permitted to deny the existence of such facts. There can be no equitable estoppel if any essential element thereof is lacking or is not satisfactorily proved." Tucker v. Hugoton Energy Corp., 253 Kan. 373, 383, 855 P.2d 929 (1993).
Here, Burt has failed to show how she would be harmed by Alamo paying the minimum liability coverage of $25,000 instead of Continental paying this amount. As a result, Burt's argument fails.

30 Rock has come a long way from being the "Untitled Tina Fey Project". While it hasn't been a ratings blockbuster, it's crawled its way inside pop culture in a way other shows would kill for. It's also launched (and relaunched) the careers of its leads, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. The fifth season of a show is a milestone of its success, since it now has enough episodes to sell to syndicators. Being able to sell the same work multiple times is always a good feeling. Does the show still have what it takes? Hit the jump to take a look at how season five pans out.
30 Rock centers around Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), the showrunner for a Friday night sketch comedy show. The principles include her temperamental star/BFF Jenna (Jane Krakowski), her other temperamental star/Hollywood weirdo Tracy (Tracy Morgan), the creepy/naive page Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) and her boss, corporate shark Jack (Alec Baldwin). By the fifth season, a lot more characters have an impact on the characters and their storylines. 30 Rock's core ensemble is already stellar but when you add in characters like Jenna's drag queen/Jenna impersonator boyfriend and Jack's hot conservative wife, you get dozens of characters that stack the deck for laughs.
The show always had a semi-autobiographical bent to it thanks to Fey's long time position as Saturday Night Live's head writer. This year is no different, featuring NBC's merger with Kabletown, a thinly veiled stand-in for Comcast. The show also has to deal with budget cuts, Tracy wrestling with legitimacy, Jack becoming a father and the destruction of Liz's best relationship by her own hand. It sounds very soapy, but 30 Rock has managed to mostly avoid the sentimentality that plagues sitcoms as they get older (we're looking at you, The Office). Fey and her writers aren't afraid to make their characters look silly, her own included.
The strongest episodes of the season include a live episode and an off-format swipe at reality shows. The live episode harkens back to Fey's days on SNL, but it seemed like a no-brainer considering the cast is packed with old cast mates and Baldwin, one of the greatest hosts of all time. The method they use to maintain the show's cutaway/flashback signature gag is very clever. The episode "Queen of Jordan" follows Tracy's wife Angie (Sherri Sheppard) as her reality show comes to the show's studio. It's a pitch perfect parody of those obnoxious semi-celebrity shows that fill up Bravo and VH-1's schedule these days and it's also a fun way to see familiar faces in a new way.
The season on the whole is strong but the final two episodes don't quite come together. "Everything Sunny All The Time Always" injects a little political parody into the mix when Avery is held hostage in North Korea. It seems like a convoluted way to write Elizabeth Banks out of the show. Despite a looney performance by Margaret Cho as Kim Jong Il, it sets up a cliffhanger for the next season that never seems very compelling. "Respawn", the episode that airs after, doesn't help matters either. 30 Rock works best when it takes sitcom cliches and tweaks them just enough to feel fresh. This episode loads up with cliches but never gets around to freshening them up.
The set includes the west coast version of the live show. Watching for the difference between the two is like a It also includes the Executive Superhero animated webshorts. These are good for a chuckle or two but they never quite get off the ground. Deleted scenes, audio commentary and a behind-the-scenes look at the live show round out the extra features.
30 Rock returns to form in season five and fans of the show should not let this one slip through their fingers.

Things are tough all over. So to show they're neither insensitive nor immune to the crisis choking the U.S. economy, seven Wall Street bigwigs are giving up their annual bonuses.
Led by CEO Lloyd Blankfein, the leadership at Goldman Sachs is leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table, reports the New York Post.
"Notwithstanding the fact that the firm has distinguished itself in many aspects of this crisis, we can't ignore the ongoing economic distress, nor can we ignore public scrutiny," Goldman spokesman Lucas van Praag said.
Blankfein, along with two co-presidents, the CFO and three vice chairman, will make $600,000 this year. Last year Blankfein and his three highest paid lieutenants made an average of $65.25 million.
State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo called the move a "step in the right direction."
"This gesture by Goldman Sachs is appropriate and prudent and hopefully will help bring Wall Street to its senses. We strongly encourage other banks to follow Goldman Sachs' step," he said.
Cuomo has been calling for a "detailed accounting" of executive pay of firms receiving federal bailout money.

BuddyRoadhouse Oh CK, if only she would wait until I'm dead and gone before she shoved me in there. Sadly, I'm pretty sure she's planning to put me in there once I reach a point where I'm too weak to fight back. UPDATE: abe and I met this evening to whittle down the list of sites and firm up the plan. We've created a new map showing the architectural sites we've selected. Taking a cue from ScreamingChicken's comment above, we've grouped the buildings by location. There are five color coded regions on the map, showing potential sites within a limited area. Rather than list a handful of specific buildings, we'll approach each area based on the mood of the group. We may visit one building per area or we might stop at as many as four or five, depending on time and energy. abe and I will continue to do our homework so we can make informed recommendations on the day of the tour, and the group can make informed choices about where we ultimately end up. We also started linking up eating stops to those neighborhoods. Again, rather than pick a single stop, we'll have a few limited choices per area, including some old favorites and some new territory to be explored. THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT OF ALL: We've tentatively picked Sunday, October 20th as the official day for the tour. We made that decision based on one critical fact--Robie House, a key stop on this tour, is only open for Open House Chicago on Sunday. If enough Contingent members object to the Sunday choice, or if the group decides Robie House (a Frank Lloyd Wright building) isn't important enough to lock the day to it, we'll change it to Saturday, October 19th. But it's really critical that we here from the folks who are planning to attend so we can make the proper plans. abe and I will meet again next week to create the list of potential eating stops. We'll have handouts available on the day of the tour. Buddy
JRPfeff Lucy, No map at the link, but I was able to enroll in Obamacare from there! jrp
JRPfeff What is the starting address on Sunday? When do we need to be there (CDT or BRT)?
Gyp Mr Milwfoodlover and I will be leaving Milwaukee around 9AM. X1 is most likely a no go. I still have to look at the itinerary. Not sure what time that puts us at our first stop.

Rapids salary figures for 2012 released by MLS Players Union, with Hendry Thomas' deal to light
With about a month remaining in the MLS regular season, the Colorado Rapids payroll is all divvied out.
The MLS Players Union on Thursday released updated salary figures for every player in the league (.pdf). The 28 Colorado players listed include high-profile new signing Hendry Thomas, who arrived from Wigan of the EPL.
Thomas, we now know, will make $197,800 this season — making him the sixth-highest paid player on the team. He signed for a base salary of $187,800, so it's safe to presume the $10,000 difference was part or all of a signing bonus (since he hasn't been around long enough to earn a marketing bonus).
