Australian Capital Television v Commonwealth (1992) 177 CLR 106 was a significant court case decided in the High Court of Australia on 30 September 1992. It concerned the constitutional validity of Part IIID of the Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991, which regulated political advertising during election campaigns, and required broadcasters to broadcast political advertisements free of charge at other times. The High Court found the laws to be invalid, since they contravened an implied right to freedom of political communication in the Australian Constitution.
In 1992, the Government of Australia ("the Commonwealth") under Prime Minister Bob Hawke passed the Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991, which inserted part IIID into the Broadcasting Act 1942. The changes had a number of effects, the most important of which prohibited the broadcasting of politically related material on electronic media such as radio and television during the period leading up to a State or Federal election (except in news, current affairs or talkback programs). The laws also obliged broadcasters to provide "free time" to political parties to air advertisements. Kim Beazley, then the Minister for Transport and Communications, said that the changes were designed to limit corruption, and prevent donors to political parties from exerting undue influence, by restricting the amount of political advertising that could be broadcast. [1] He said that due to the practical cost of advertising, it was only the major parties and very wealthy individuals who could afford to broadcast advertisements. The Government said they had wanted to avoid a situation such as that in the United States, where it is virtually impossible for anyone but the very rich to participate in the political process.
With some exceptions, the laws prohibited broadcasters from broadcasting matter for or on behalf of the government or government agencies, and from broadcasting political advertisements ("matter intended or likely to affect voting in the election", or matter explicitly referring to the election) on behalf of themselves or other individuals during an election period. The "free time" would be divided between the parties based on the amount of representation they had in the Parliament, with only five percent available to other groups, who had to apply for an allocation of free time.
The eight plaintiffs in the case were commercial television broadcasters who held broadcasting licences under the Broadcasting Act. They asked the High Court to declare that Part IIID of the act was invalid. In a related action which was heard at the same time, the Government of New South Wales also challenged the laws, particularly their application to by-elections. The Government of South Australia intervened in the case in support of the Commonwealth.
The most important argument made by the plaintiffs was that the new laws interfered with a right to free political speech which was implied in the Constitution. They also argued that the parts of the Act requiring that broadcasters give "free time" to certain people was an unjust acquisition of property. The Government of New South Wales argued that the laws were discriminatory against the states and they interfered with the proper business of State Governments.
The principal argument from the plaintiffs was that the changes to the Broadcasting Act contravened an implied right to freedom of participation and communication in political processes. They argued that this right to free political speech arose from the system of representative government which is provided by the Constitution, or alternatively, it arose from the "common citizenship of the Australian people." Sir Maurice Byers QC, who acted for the plaintiffs, paraphrasing former Justice Isaac Isaacs argued that the principle that governments are responsible to the citizens who elect them "permeates the Constitution, forming part of the fabric on which the written words of the Constitution are superimposed," and as such, all voters should be entitled to make comment on political issues.
The plaintiffs argued that since a right to free political communication was recognised in other parliamentary democracies, such as in the United States by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and in Canada by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it should be recognised in Australia. They said that because the provisions in Part IIID limited the allocation of "free time" to people or groups already represented in the Parliaments, new parties or people not in the Parliament would not be able to express their views.
The Commonwealth argued that the laws enhanced rather than diminished the electoral process, because they prevented corruption, and allowed parties which did not have large amounts of money to have access to radio and television broadcasting. They said that the Parliament has valid powers to protect the integrity of the electoral process under sections 10, 29, 31, 51(36) and 51(39) of the Constitution. Furthermore, they argued that even if there was some implied right to freedom of political communication, this could not override valid legislation. The Commonwealth also pointed out that similar laws operated in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Norway and Sweden, and that countries such as Canada, Germany, Japan and New Zealand had a system of allocating free broadcasting time for political purposes during election periods.
The Government of South Australia, who intervened in support of the Commonwealth, said that if the framers of the Constitution had intended to include provisions for a right of free speech as in the United States Constitution, they would have done so. They said that although some freedom of communication could reasonably be implied into the Constitution, the parts of the Act in question did not have the effect of preventing "free and meaningful elections" from taking place, and so the laws were not invalid.
The High Court agreed that the new part IIID of the Broadcasting Act had the effect of limiting the freedoms previously enjoyed by citizens to publicly discuss political matters. However, the question remained as to whether there was some sort of Constitutional basis for these freedoms, or whether the Commonwealth was justified in restricting them. While the court agreed that similar laws had been put in place overseas, that did not change the fact that the laws impaired freedom of communication, and privileged those political parties or interest groups who were already represented in the Parliament. The laws would not only disadvantage candidates challenging sitting members, but would severely hinder groups such as trade unions, charities or employers' groups, who may very well have a legitimate desire to make political statements.
The plaintiffs also argued that to force broadcasters to give portions of "free time" to the represented political parties and members of parliament had the effect of taking away their right to charge money for broadcasting advertisements. They suggested that taking away their advertising time and in effect giving it to the legislators constituted an acquisition of property by the Commonwealth, which according to section 51(xxxi) of the Constitution, has to be done "on just terms."
The Commonwealth argued that the laws made no unjust acquisition of property, since broadcasting licences were not immune to being modified by the Parliament. They said that it was fair and just to require broadcasters to provide a limited amount of free service in the public interest. In any event, the Commonwealth suggested that "free time" granted by the Act was not a form of property anyway, since it could not be transferred to other people, one of the essential features of any form of property.
Ultimately the court did not decide on this issue, although Justice Brennan said that he agreed with the Commonwealth's argument that the "free time" was not a form of property.
The Government of New South Wales, in addition to supporting the claims of the other plaintiffs, also argued that Part IIID of the Broadcasting Act was invalid because it interfered with the executive functions of the States, and contravened sections 106 and 107 of the Constitution which protects the individual State Constitutions. They said that to interfere with the right of State Governments to make political advertisements went far beyond any legitimate power given to the Parliament of Australia by the Constitution. They also said that in any event, the changes to the Act should not apply to by-elections.
The Commonwealth argued that Part IIID of the Act did not single out the States, nor interfere with their proper activities, since State elections were treated in exactly the same way as Federal elections were.
The court decided that a right to freedom of political communication was essential to the system of representative government provided for in the Constitution. The court expressed the view that the reason why Australia does not have a bill of rights is because the framers of the Constitution believed that since Australia had a system of representative government, which gave all voters an equal share in political power, laws to protect rights were simply not necessary. To undermine the system of representative government was contrary to this trust which the people gave to the Parliaments, and was not permitted by the Constitution. Although this right is not an absolute one, it is still a right which allows for free and public political discussion.
The court also decided that the relevant laws, contained in Part IIID of the Broadcasting Act, were invalid because there was no reasonable justification for the way they restricted the freedom of political communication. The court decided that the laws also impaired certain functions of the States in terms of their rights to make political advertisements, and so the laws were also invalid for that reason.
The case was one of the earliest in a series of cases in which the High Court found implied rights in the Constitution. This trend reached a high-point in Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd, which found that the implied right to freedom of political communication could be used as a defence in a defamation action. Although that is no longer the case, the limited right to freedom of communication remains. It was emphasised in later cases like Lange v ABC that political communication was not a personal right, rather a constitutional restriction on legislative power.
In discussing the nature of representative government, Chief Justice Mason expressed the view that although the Constitution originally drew its authority from the British Imperial Parliament, it would indeed be appropriate in modern times to recognise that Australian sovereignty derives its force from the Australian people.

A recent conversation in our kitchen:
MICHAEL: You know what I'd like to have for our kitchen?
DENISE: What?
MICHAEL: A coffeemaker that you could make coffee in and it would stay hot. Then you could just go get a nice, steaming cup of coffee any time you wanted to.
DENISE: We've got a coffeemaker. Doesn't it keep the coffee hot enough?
MICHAEL: Oh, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about one of those metal ones.
DENISE: Metal?
MICHAEL: Yeah. Like the ones they use in the dining hall.
DENISE: Those are big, industrial-sized coffee dispensers!
MICHAEL: Well, we'd get a small one.
DENISE: Or…maybe you could just learn to make coffee!
MICHAEL: That's too much trouble.
DENISE: You'd still have to make it in one of those other things! Why not just learn to make it any time you want in our coffeemaker?
MICHAEL: I don't know what scoop to use. We have so many different measuring cups.
DENISE: The coffee scoop. It's in the can of coffee.
MICHAEL: I wouldn't know which end of it to use.
DENISE: There's only one end.
MICHAEL: Well, I wouldn't know how much water to put in.
DENISE: I've told you before. One coffee mug of water for each mug of coffee.
MICHAEL: But half of it gets steamed away!
DENISE: So you put in a little extra water to begin with.
MICHAEL: All that would take me 15 minutes that I don't have.
DENISE: It takes about 30 seconds.
MICHAEL: It's too much trouble. I just wish we had one of those metal things…

The Organizational Sweet Spot : Engaging the Innovative Dynamics of Your Social Networks Hardback
by Charles Ehin
Employee disengagement is one of the most pressing problems plaguing managers today hampering the innovation capacities of countless organizations.
According to recent polls, some 20 percent of workers report feeling disconnected from their jobs, in an environment of stagnating wages, massive layoffs, rising health care costs, and other factors that contribute to alienation, distrust, and apathy. In The Organizational Sweet Spot, Dr. Charles Ehin takes a refreshing new look at what it will take to reengage disaffected workers and boost their resolve to advance novel ideas.
Applying the latest research from such fields as evolutionary psychology, social neuroscience, organizational behavior, anthropology, and social network analysis, Ehin demonstrates how employee disengagement is rooted in a fundamental misalignment between people's instinctive drive to develop their personal and group identities through informal or "emergent" relationships and the ways in which organizational goals and profit motives are executed through formal bureaucracy. The challenge for today's organizations-which operate under constantly changing conditions-is to narrow this gap, that is, to find the "sweet spot", where the formal and informal elements of the organization overlap.
Ehin provides practical tools for leaders to support this "shared access domain" to improve productivity, catalyze innovation, and inspire exceptional performance.
His new model is likely to reverberate throughout current management thinking as we move toward creating more vital and meaningful workplaces.

Understanding DMPs: Quota Setting and Permit Selection
Deer Management Permits (DMPs), often called "doe tags", are a critical part of New York's deer management program. By adjusting the number of DMPs available in individual Wildlife Management Units, we can influence the number of does that are taken by hunters and thus manipulate the population toward desired levels. Annual removal of appropriate numbers of does is essential for ecologically responsible deer management. It is beneficial for sustaining biodiversity and maintaining healthy habitat and healthy deer.
DMP Quota Setting
The math involved in setting DMP numbers is actually quite simple, though the process of determining several of the variables in the equation is complex. Here is the essence of the permit setting process:
Step 1. Projected Buck Take X Removal Rate1 = Total # of Adult Does to be Harvested
Step 2. Total # of Adult Does to be Harvested - # Adult Does Taken by Muzzleloader Hunters and Archers and on DMAP tags = Necessary Adult Doe DMP Take
Step 3. Necessary Adult Doe DMP Take ÷ Proportion of Adult Does in DMP Take2 = Total Desired DMP Take
Step 4. Total Desired DMP Take ÷ Success Rate of DMPs = Total # of DMPs to Issue
1 Desired ratio of adult female to adult male deer in harvest
2 This accounts for fawns in the DMP take.
The first two variables (projected buck take and removal rate) are the key places where analysis of deer population trends and management action come into play. The other variables are essentially derived from previous harvest data (for example: "Success rate of DMPs" may be a 3 year average), but we can alter these variables if we anticipate some change in how deer are harvested (for example: "#Adult does taken by muzzleloader hunters and archers" could be impacted by a regulation change).
Buck Take
The real art and craft to deer management in New York comes through interpreting the data to project the buck take and in determining the appropriate removal rate.The process of projecting the buck take involves studying trends in buck harvest relative to previous levels of doe harvest and age structures of previous buck and doe harvests. We incorporate several population indices (bowhunter sighting log, damage levels, winter severity) and evaluate herd health and productivity through yearling antler beam diameters and ratios of fawns to adult does in the harvest.
Removal Rate
Similarly, determining an appropriate removal rate (ratio of adult does to adult bucks in harvest) requires analyzing trends in buck harvest relative to previous levels of adult doe harvest. We examine this relationship to identify a removal rate that produces stability at a given population level, allowing for neither growth nor reduction in population. The stability-level removal rate is different at different population levels and is strongly influenced by herd productivity. In some high quality habitats of New York, the deer populations can sustain high removal rates of one or more adult doe to every adult buck. In the poorer quality habitats or areas subject to harsh winter conditions, removal rates may be as low as 0.2 adult does to every adult buck.
Once we identify a stability-level removal rate, we relate the current population level to the desired level. If the population is currently greater than desired levels, we prescribe a greater-than-stability-level removal rate. If the population is less than desired levels, then we prescribe a less-than-stability-level removal rate. The magnitude of difference between our prescribed removal rate and the stability level removal rate depends on our management objective. Typically we manage for conservative changes from year to year, trying to minimize dramatic fluctuations in population levels.
Mortality Factors
While our intentions usually are for conservative changes, severe winters can have dramatic and rapid impacts on deer populations. In fact, the history of New York's deer population is punctuated with periodic winter mortality events. Though we account for the impact of previous winters when setting DMP quotas, we unfortunately cannot anticipate the severity of the upcoming winter. Other mortality factors such as predation, poaching, and deer-vehicle collisions do influence deer populations. However, their impact tends to be fairly constant from year to year. The variation in their impact is minimal compared to the potential impact of winter mortality and hunter harvest mortality.
Permit Selection
Quota setting is only the first part of the DMP process. The next step is to get the permits in the hands of our hunters. DMPs are issued by an instant selection process at the point of sale allowing applicants who are selected for DMPs to receive their permits immediately. The system is designed to provide equal opportunity for a hunter regardless of whether they apply on the first or last day of the application period. The chances for DMP selection are determined by the DMP quota and the number of applications expected for each WMU. An applicant's chances of selection are also affected by residency status, qualification as a land owner or veteran with disabilities, and the number of preference points accumulated through previous DMP applications. For example:
|Landowner and Veterans
with Disabilities
|Residents with
Preference Points
Residents without
|# Applicants
|# Odds of Selection
|# # Permits Issued
|# # DMPs remaining
Actual DMP issuance is impacted by application rates, and predicting the number of applicants is not easy. Fortunately, we have been issuing DMPs for many years and can examine trends in applicant number to make reasonable estimates. Yet application rates vary, and each year we have several units which do not reach our target issuance during the initial application period. If a unit is substantially under-subscribed at the close of the initial application period (October 1 each year), we run another random selection of hunters that were denied during the initial period. If necessary, we open the unit up for a secondary application period in November.
Hunters play an essential role in maintaining appropriate deer numbers in New York and our DMP system is the cornerstone of that process.

U.S. military commanders have long based mission plans on the expectation they would own the night. Their troops would operate equipped with night vision goggles while the enemy would flail in the darkness.
The Pentagon has held tight export restrictions for infrared detection equipment to maintain that edge. However, the U.S. defense industry is challenging those restrictions, claiming they only put American defense companies at a disadvantage since international competitors produce similar infrared products.
Bloomberg is reporting that Raytheon Co., DRS Technologies Inc. and Flir Systems Inc are leading the charge to not add infrared detectors to the U.S. Munitions List. Raytheon, DRS and Flir are three of the largest U.S. manufacturers of infrared equipment.
The State Department oversees the U.S. Munitions List, a list of articles, technology and services deemed defense- or space-related by the federal government. If the infrared technology is added to the list, the companies who produce it would need a specific Defense Department license to export it.
Pentagon officials, to include former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, have pushed to ease foreign military sales restrictions for U.S. defense companies to keep the industry afloat as the Defense Department plans to cut defense spending over the next decade.
As a result, the U.S. defense industry saw arms transfer agreements triple in 2011 compared to 2010. A Congressional Research Service report found the value of the U.S. defense industry's arms transfer agreements rose from $21.4 billion to $66.3 billion from 2010 to 2011. A large chunk -- $56.3 billion -- of 2011's agreements came from developing nations, namely Saudi Arabia.
If infrared was only used in night vision goggles or missile guidance systems, this would be an open and shut case. But there are plenty of non-military uses for infrared technology such as civilian security cameras as Bloomberg's report pointed out. Putting the technology on the U.S. Munitions List, though, would make it hard for companies to even sell their infrared equipment for civilian uses.
While Flir, Raytheon and DRS Technologies have plenty of military contracts, they do produce infrared equipment outside the military. As defense spending comes down, these companies will need to depend more on the civilian contracts as the military contracts drop.

5 ways to use bootable Linux live discs
Live CDs, DVDs or USB drives let you run Linux without actually installing it. Here are five reasons why you should.
By Logan Kugler – July 20, 2010 06:00 AM ET
Computerworld – In the almost 20 years since Linux was first released into the world, free for anyone to use and modify however they like, the operating system has been put to a lot of uses. Today, a vast number of servers run Linux to serve up Web pages and applications, while user-friendly versions of Linux run PCs, netbooks, and even Android and WebOS phones.
One incredibly useful way that Linux has been adapted to the needs of modern computer users is as a "live CD," a version of the operating system that can be booted from a CD (or a DVD or, in some cases, a USB drive) without actually being installed on the computer's hard drive. Given the massive RAM and fast CPUs available on even the lowest-end computers today, along with Linux's generally lower system requirements compared to Windows and Mac OS X, you can run Linux quite comfortably from a CD drive.
Live discs allow you to radically transform the nature of the machine you're working on — without modifying the installed operating system and software at all. There are a number of reasons you might want to do this. The most obvious is to test a new version or different distribution of Linux before deploying it, saving yourself the surprise of incompatible software or nonfunctional hardware after installation. But even if your business does not plan to deploy Linux as a desktop or server operating system, there are still good reasons to have a live Linux CD or two on hand.
Live CDs are great for system diagnosis and recovery when disaster strikes; they're also useful for securing and testing your network. And for road warriors, the ability to boot up a familiar, customized operating system on any machine, anywhere in the world, has an obvious attraction — as do specialized live distributions designed to provide security and anonymity for workers with sensitive data or communications to protect.
Live discs are read-only, which means they're quite secure, since malware can't make any changes to the core system. If you do get an infection, it disappears as soon as you reboot.
Here are five ways to use live Linux in your business, as well as pointers to distributions best suited to each particular task.
1. Test-drive Linux
Over the years, Linux has developed from a usability nightmare into a fairly straightforward desktop operating system. With professional-quality productivity tools like OpenOffice.org for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations and GIMP for image editing, as well as versions of familiar applications such as Firefox, Thunderbird, Adobe Reader and Flash, most common business tasks can be done pretty easily on a Linux system.
You can see how well adapted Linux is to your business by running several of the most popular desktop distributions from a live CD. Perhaps the most refined and user-friendly desktop system available right now is Ubuntu, which includes just about every application you could ever ask for, from business productivity apps to programs for multimedia editing, Web design, running databases, serving up Web pages and chatting online.
Ubuntu's installation disk is itself a live CD, so if you decide to install the system later you can just run the installer from the Ubuntu desktop.
2. Recover aging hardware
Linux in general has lower system requirements than other contemporary operating systems, but there are a few distributions that are specially designed to take advantage of old, even ancient, computer hardware, letting you squeeze a few more years of life out of systems you wouldn't even think of running Windows on — including machines with broken hard drives.
Both Damn Small Linux (DSL) and Puppy Linux are designed for older systems, requiring only a Pentium 486 or equivalent CPU and 128MB of RAM to run well. DSL can even run with just 64MB of RAM. Both launch a usable, if somewhat stripped down, user interface that's perfect for tasks like sending and receiving e-mail, creating documents and surfing the Web — in other words, basic administrative tasks.

Rural development within the context of development, sustainability and rural issues - some constitutional, policy and implementation perspectives
This article provides an overview of some developments, internationally,
regionally and in the SADC, in relation to development, that may be expected to influence the South African government's response to the development needs of the people in the country. An overview is provided of the somewhat haphazard way in which the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 refers to the need for and objective of development (including rural development) in the country. Through their explanatory outline of three distinct phases in South African rural development law and policy: 1994–2000 (the Reconstruction and Development Programme and related documents and their implementation); 2000–April 2009 (the Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Strategy and its implementation) and April 2009+ (the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme and related documents), the authors review some of the historical strengths and future prospects related to rural development in South Africa. Based on an assessment of historical trends, a number of recommendations are made for government's way forward in the implementation of the constitutional objectives, law and policy relevant to
rural development in the country.
Keywords: rural development; sustainable development; constitutional law and development; development objectives; rural development policy

Just over £5million was spent last year on repairing ageing school buildings in the former Southern Education Board, which includes the Dungannon and Cookstown areas.
The total was the highest in Northern Ireland with the North Eastern Education Board posting the second highest bill at £4.8million.
The true sum is expected to be much higher given that the figures, which were released last week by the Department of Education, do not include the maintenance bill of local voluntary grammars and integrated schools.
The Mid Ulster District has been badly affected by a funding black hole in the school building programme which had mothballed plans to construct new multi-million pound state-of-the-art buildings at St Patrick's Academy, Edendork Primary School, Gaelscoil Ui Neill, Coalisland, and Holy Trinity College, Cookstown.
Local schools are now the most overcrowded in Northern Ireland, with just over one hundred mobile classrooms popping up on their grounds in the past five years.
That's in addition to the 265 mobile classrooms already in situ at schools in the Mid-Ulster and South Tyrone areas.
Last year, a school survey also revealed that 14 Dungannon schools are currently 'overcrowded'.
The situation is likely to get worse with Dungannon's population boom predicted to continue for at least another decade, putting further strain on popular schools with a surge in school-age children numbers. A large number of local primary schools are already over-capacity and have had to apply to the Department of Education for special permission to take on extra pupils.
Ironically, the Department of Education is intent on closing small primary schools in the Dungannon District, many of which don't have to rely on temporary classrooms.

~I have lots of stories pending, but I have not time to upload yet. You know what inspires writers to write more stories? Reviews. Feedback. Inspire writers to write more, cause without reviewers, they'll never find out if they're good enough.
I dream to be an awesome writer someday. Please help me make it come true.
I'm sorry to all my readers. But my pc broke, and the stories I was writing got deleted. I'll do my best to get my stories back up and running again.

Youtube battles: Blair vs. Brown
I'll confess, I've not quite got round to doing a lot of youtube videos - although if done well, it can be a very good way to communicate. But looking at the array of political-youtubes, I always found it amazing how the televisual Blair could have put on such a wooden performance on his Youtube debut. I remember thinking at the time that it was extraordinary that he should appear so ill at ease, and chose such a stuffy background to his new-media debut - particularly when so many things about Blair seemed so, well, 'new media'.
Today, there was another Youtube style video from No.10. Brown made his sudden expenses reform announcement in youtube format, and it is equally fascinating. Not only for content, but for his delivery,especially in contrast to Blair's.It's not the joviality you'd expect to see on the day before Budget 2009...
Is Gordon becoming the Blair that Tony himself never quite achieved on his own youtube broadcasts?

About Me
My career in residential construction began in 1987 with a high end custom home builder, Ray Tonjes. I spent twelve years with Ray, the first ten years as his office manager, learning all aspects of construction documentation – contracts, draw schedules, selection and allowance schedules, bank and insurance requirements, and proper cost accounting within the construction industry. Later I began assisting with ordering materials and scheduling sub contractors for the multiple jobs. This experience lead me into a smooth transition as a field superintendent , on site meeting with customers and supervising sub-contractors. Ray is known for his excellent detail work, and it was Ray's high standards where I learned my eye for detail. I will always owe a debt of gratitude to Ray for the excellent foundation he gave me in the construction profession.
The next three years I was with Glenn George of George Custom Homes; first as an office manager and then as a project manager. Then with Columbia Constructors, another high end builder, as a project manager where I had a superintendent under me.
I then spent 5 years as a project manager with Joel and Lucy Katz of Katz Builders, where I honed my project management and estimating skills, running multiple job sites. Joel has a CPA background and has run many successful businesses including his custom home building business . I learned a lot from Joel and Lucy about running a successful business but it was the family atmosphere of working with a husband and wife team that prepared me for meeting my mate, best friend and business partner, Pat Jamail.
Pat, at the time was an independent contractor doing all aspects of the work himself, operating as Jamail Custom Homes. With my management skills in construction scheduling, accounting, documentations and product knowledge, I was able to take Pat to his next level of running multiple jobs. Although he still preferred to have his "hands on" the daily work, I continued to assist clients with their selections and took care of the paper work associated with running a business. We spent five wonderful years together building and remodeling and creating long lasting relationships with our clients.
Sadly, it was March of 2012 that I lost the love of my life and business partner unexpectedly to colon cancer. This life changing event made me step back and wonder if I should continue in the construction business without him. Fortunately, my phone kept ringing and work keeps pouring in, all word of mouth and referral based, and I'm ever so thankful that I have a solid foundation under me and the love of Pat inside me to keep going in the construction industry. I enjoy the customer interaction and my greatest joy is exceeding my customer expectations. Come let me show you how that feels!
Even in the early years I was involved in the Home Builders Association of Austin as I watched Ray and then Joel climb up the ladder in the Association and Ray actually became the president of the state level Texas Association of Builders. I became accredited as a Green Building Professional, GBP, and Certified Aging in Place Specialist, CAPS. In 2013, I became a Certified Graduate Builder, CGB.
In 2015, I joined the local chapter of NARI, a trade organization to assist me in growing my business through mentoring and leadership training, and networking with vendors and local suppliers to stay on top of the latest product innovations. I had a home selected to be on their 13th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes in 2015. This particular collaborated project with Bartush Design and Nine Design Group has now won several awards.
I am still currently active in both the Home Builders Association and NARI. These organizations provide me with the educational tools to keep me informed of the ever-changing building codes and latest building technology and products.

Caring Disability Lawyers in Texas helping those with HIV / AIDS
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, you may qualify to receive Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits or Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits. SSDI benefits are granted to those who have disabling medical or mental conditions that prevent them from working. Long Term Disability benefits are provided by private insurers.
If you live in Texas and want to apply for SSDI or LTD benefits, contact us today. Our Texas disability lawyers understand the complexities of applying for both SSDI and LTD benefits. We have experience helping those with HIV/AIDS apply for disability benefits. We understand how important it is that you get the benefits you need and deserve. Call us toll free at (866) 433-4979 for a free consultation.
Applying for Disability with HIV/AIDS
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome) are autoimmune diseases that can cause system and organ failure if left untreated. HIV/AIDS are progressive diseases that can worsen over time. Often, these conditions lead to an increase in infections and viruses and may cause other disabling medical or mental conditions such as cancer or chronic, viral infections. In order to qualify for SSDI benefits due to HIV or AIDS, you must show through medical records that you were properly diagnosed by a medical professional and that you suffer from at least one of these complications:
- Certain skin or mucus membrane conditions
- Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
- Cancer
- Protozoan or helminthic infection
- HIV wasting syndrome
- Chronic fungus or skin lesions
- HIV encephalopathy
- Chronic diarrhea
If you can show through medical records that you have suffered from any of the above complications and symptoms, then your HIV/AIDS will qualify as a disabling medical condition making you eligible to receive benefits. You may not have developed the above complications; however, you can still qualify for disability benefits if you can show that HIV/AIDS is preventing you from working like you did in the past. Long Term Disability providers will require proof of disease, but have varying criteria.
Call Experienced Texas Disability Lawyers for Help
Trying to apply for SSDI or LTD benefits by yourself can be frustrating, exhausting, and ultimately unsuccessful. You need skilled disability lawyers who understand the ins and outs of the application process. We work closely with every client, tailoring our legal help to your specific case.

Sublime Competence
By Mauricio on Thursday, March 29, 2018This Accord has made me happy. I had to purchase it quickly after my A5 was totaled and my insurance company gave me little time in a rental. With mostly around town driving I was able to see how having the torque down low was of great benefit. I traveled to Austin to COTA and while on the toll roads 85 - 90 was comfortable and quiet. I kept driving on that tank until Thursday and was happy to avg 33.8 MPG of mixed Hwy and City. I tend to have a lead foot and obtaining that surprised me. I have played with many of the electronic systems and love the integration of these systems. If you explore the car systems, you will find items that will make ownership more enjoyable. Smooth when you want it, capable when you need it. HUGE trunk and backseat doesnt hurt.

Questioning Honda's "Reliability"
By MinnesotaNice on Saturday, July 20, 2019After owning the 2018 Accord Sport 2.0, I'm not sure if I'll ever buy another Honda. First time I took it through a car wash, water leaked in through the sun roof. Took it to dealership, said there was nothing they could do. At around 3K miles, water began flowing into the backseat like a waterfall whenever it rained. Again, took it to dealership and this time they replaced all window seals. At about 8K miles, Honda sending system started glitching (would warm me to stop on a completely open highway). Cruise control also went out at the beginning of a long road trip. Pulled over, restarted my car like a busted internet router and it fixed the issue. At 16K miles front wheel bearings went out. Replaced under warranty. The moment my bumper-to-bumper warranty is up, I'm trading this lemon. Which is unfortunate because it really does look good and drives like a dream.

Toyota Camry Doesn't Come Close
By JTFORSAN on Wednesday, September 25, 2019We have owned Toyotas for years, and we actually own a 2006 Camry with approximately 285,000 miles on it. We were in the market for a new car about 4 months ago, so our first stop was at the Toyota dealership to test drive the Camry. We were shocked by it's uncomfortable seats, and the lack of power offered by it's engine. We decided to give the Accord a test drive and we were blown away! The car will flat out fly if you hit the gas too hard, and it's very comfortable overall. It'd be nice it the seats were just a little softer, if the suspension offered a little smoother ride, but those are just personal preferences. We are likely Honda owners for the foreseeable future unless Toyota starts putting a quality product back on the market.

Sea Bass with Papaya and Roquefort
Seabass Recipe that's easy but delicious!
I have a new Internet friend, Gaby, from Brazil who recently moved to Carmel, California and she wrote me saying, "You've been a big help! Now I can learn the cooking terms in English. I have kind of the same story as you, discovered cooking when I was in a boarding school in Switzerland, and just can't seem to get away from it, its a passion! The good part is that now my husband loves it too,so we're always cooking together, trying new recipes."
Here is a recipe from Gaby that I think you'll enjoy. She says, "Isn't that easy? It is wonderful…Usually I serve it with herb couscous or rice with watercress.
I've asked Gaby to send me her ingredient list but she never did. In the meantime, play around with quantities until you get the taste that you like. It's a great learning experience.
Sea bass fillets
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 papaya, sliced thin
heavy cream
Roquefort or gorgonzola cheese
How To Prepare At Home
Put seabass filets in a pan that can go into the oven.
Add a little salt and pepper.
Cover with very ripe thin papaya slices.
In another pan, simmer heavy cream and Roquefort (or gorgonzola) just until the cheese melts.
Cover the fish with sauce.
Put into oven and bake until golden.

Sitting on a park bench…
I saw a woman slap her child tonight.
The offense was hitting another child.
I watched the little girl take it.
What else was she supposed to do?
Before I could react…
They were gone.
Peace seems impossible.
You can't teach a child not to hit by hitting.

Purple Lips

Creating A New, Old Herr Schultz
Veteran actor Danny Burstein ponders the latest iteration of Cabaret's Jewish character in latest Broadway revival.
Anyone who has seen a version of the musical "Cabaret" will recall the dazzling, provocative world of the Kit Kat Club, a fictional nightclub in pre-World War II Berlin. At the top of the show, a vivacious emcee, originated by Joel Grey, beckons us inside enticingly. "We have no troubles here!" he promises. "Here, life is beautiful."
The iconic musical, created by Kander and Ebb with book writer Joe Masteroff, offers an intoxicating glimpse into Weimar decadence. The Kit Kat Club's star performer, Sally Bowles, and her paramour, an American novelist named Cliff, appear to be almost fantastical, offering each other — and the audience — a taste of wish fulfillment. But there is a second narrative in "Cabaret," a subtler presence that is equally essential to the work. It is the story of a Jewish character, the show's only one, who personally experiences Germany's shifting tide.
Herr Schultz, a humble Jewish fruit vendor who quietly and sweetly woos the owner of his boardinghouse, Fraulein Schneider, is a supporting role, yet one could argue that the show's themes rest on his shoulders. As anti-Semitism builds throughout the narrative, Herr Schultz's relationship to Fraulein Schneider, a gentile, is increasingly at risk, as is his own security. Carrying this role in the current revival of the musical, which opens on Broadway on April 24, is theater veteran Danny Burstein who makes his 15th Broadway credit with this performance.

While this production features the same director, Sam Mendes, and the same co-director/choreographer, Rob Marshall, as the award-sweeping 1998 revival, Burstein asserts that he and his fellow actors have been given ample freedom to explore new dimensions to their characters. "Sam and Rob are genius guys who keep adding new things," Burstein tells The Jewish Week in a recent phone interview.
Much of the musical's aesthetic does follow the 1998 version, including a transformation of Studio 54 into an indulgent nightclub, complete with cabaret tables and colored fringed lamps. But there are new elements to this version, most notably an entirely new cast, save for the emcee, reprised by Alan Cumming.
As Burstein began to envision the character of Herr Schultz, he found himself picturing the Jewish European photographer Roman Vishniac whom Burstein had met once as a teenager. "I thought about the look I wanted," he says, "I shaved my hair back and grew a mustache [like Vishniac]. And I wanted Herr Shultz to walk differently. He's older than I am. I wanted that feel. It's a guy who works 14 hours a day, so he has a different walk. I like discovering all those little nuances."
Burstein also found personal resonance in portraying a Jew living in Germany during those turbulent years. Burstein "knew a lot about this particular time anyway" but spent additional time doing research about European Jewry and the ascent of Nazism. "I think anybody who's Jewish has a natural curiosity and a responsibility to know about it."
Though, at a certain point, he adds, "I had to stop doing my research because my character is absolutely sure that this will all pass. He can't know that all that tragedy is going to happen. In fact, he's positive it's not going to."
The narrative of "Cabaret," based on the play, "I Am a Camera," which itself was based on Christopher Isherwood's novel, "Goodbye to Berlin," shows Herr Schultz's relationship blossom with Fraulein Schneider until the mounting animosity against Jews threatens his business and his prospects for marrying the woman he loves. Sally Bowles — played in this production by film actress Michelle Williams — may get the heartbreaking musical number near the show's end, but it is Herr Schultz who experiences Berlin's dismantling most acutely.
This isn't the first time Burstein has taken on characters that are guided by their Jewish identity: just last year he played Matt Friedman in Lanford Wilson's "Talley's Folly." The actor admits that what excites him most are characters that are entirely new and that "terrify" him when he takes the job. Now a four-time Tony nominee, he has played such varied roles as Aldolpho in "The Drowsy Chaperone," Luther Billis in "South Pacific," Buddy Plummer in Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," and the boxing trainer Tokio in Clifford Odets' Golden Boy.
This past theater season has also provided Burstein with an immersive experience in German characters and their accents. "This has been my German year," he says. "I had to have a German accent for The Snow Geese earlier this season with Mary Louise Parker, and then I went right into "Die Fledermaus" at the Met. And each vocal coach that you work with has a slightly different attitude toward what the German accent should be. Your biggest fear is that you sound like one of the bad characters from 'Hogan's Heroes.'"
Beyond the accent and physical characteristics, Burstein, the son of a Jewish father and Costa Rican mother who identifies strongly as a Jew, has worked on illuminating Herr Schultz's experience as a Jew in the presence of prejudice. A particularly dramatic moment for his character occurs at a party hosted by Herr Schultz and Fraulein Schneider in honor of their engagement. A guest of theirs arrives, and as he removes his overcoat, a Nazi armband is visible on his sleeve.
"Sam [Mendes] is very smart," Burstein observes. "He doesn't need big swastikas everywhere to let you know, 'This is bad.' It's just a guy who takes off his overcoat. It's so smartly written. And so simple. He takes off his coat and he's wearing that damn armband, and then everything you thought and everything you knew has changed."
Reflecting on the musical as a whole, Burstein says, "Ultimately, it's a cautionary tale. Don't be naïve the evils around you. Participate and take part in what is going on in your government. Don't be silent."
"Cabaret" isn't typically thought of as Jewish theater in the same vein as, say, "Fiddler on the Roof," but the themes and motifs do point in the same direction. Of course, both had creative teams comprised of Jews, but that's hardly saying much in the theater. As Burstein sees it, what makes Cabaret, or any show for that matter, a "Jewish" musical is more about the emotions that ripple outward. "It's the humor," he says. "It's the minor keys. It's just a sound. It's a longing, a pathos."
"Cabaret" opens April 24 at Studio 54 254 West 54th Street, New York NY 10019. Call 212-719-1300 or go to cabaretmusical.com for tickets.

It is simply not possible to know your rights as an American if you do not have a printed copy of the Bill of Rights actually in your hands.
Which is why the Founding Fathers wrote it down in the first place 228 years ago.
The National Education Project's
Bill of Rights Day 2018 - Birthday Cake Celebration -
December 14, 2018
Last year, on Bill of Rights Day, December 14, 2018, the National Education Project provided free birthday cakes and free copies of the Bill of Rights to children in 56 classrooms in 24 public, charter, and parochial elementary schools in Washington, D.C., as well as to elementary school children in seven states across the country, including Texas, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, New York, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma.
The results around the country were remarkable.
Through the support of the New York City Police Department and the good offices of Chief of Patrol Rodney Harrison, police officers picked up the birthday cakes from Costco and delivered them to 15 elementary schools in Manhattan, including three schools in Chinatown.
Please click on the wonderful videos below of Bill of Rights Day, December 14, 2018, provided by Chief Harrison and the New York City Police Department:
Tomorrow is the 227th anniversary the #BillofRights was ratified. To mark this important milestone, #NYPD Neighborhood Coordination Officers visited #NYC schoolchildren to teach them about liberty ... and share some cake 🎂!#BillofRightsDay pic.twitter.com/knQkFeUswZ— Chief Rodney Harrison (@NYPDChiefPatrol) December 14, 2018
And here are Twitter messages of Bill of Rights Day from Precinct 33, Precinct 30, and Precinct 19 in New York City:

So there it is: kids, cops, a birthday cake, singing, and the Bill of Rights. If that's not America, I don't know what is.
We hope to have the continued support of the New York City Police Department and to extend this wonderful old-fashioned, patriotic event to all five boroughs in New York City (Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island) on Bill of Rights Day, Friday, December 13, 2019.
For the second year in a row, the South Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association in conjunction with the National Education Project commemorated the birthday of the Bill of Rights with a birthday party at North Beach Elementary School.
Police officers of the Miami Beach Police Department graciously delivered the cakes to eight 4th grade classes, and helped the children sign their copies of the Bill of Rights.
As was said at the end of the celebration: "Another successful year. Kids had a blast."
Please see FBA story: http://fba-sdfla.org/event/bill-of-rights-birthday/
The Northern District of Ohio Chapter of the Federal Bar Association hosted the Bill of Rights Day birthday cake celebration at the Campus International Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio. The event went very well, with approximately 80 fourth grade students participating.
We were greatly honored that Judge Dan Aaron Polster of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and Ms. Sarah Cleves of the FBA gave to each student a copy of the Bill of Rights. Then Judge Polster spoke to the students about the Bill of Rights, what it means, and its importance. The students loved asking the Judge questions, both about the Bill of Rights and about his job.
And, of course, they loved the cake!
On December 14, 2018, Magistrate Judge T. Shon Erwin of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and Ms. Jodi Dishman, President of the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, visited with approximately 40 4th and 5th grade students at Gatewood Elementary School in Oklahoma City to celebrate the 227th birthday of the Bill of Rights.
Judge Erwin talked about the importance of the Bill of Rights and engaged with the students in answering their questions about the Bill of Rights. We then distributed copies of the Bill of Rights and asked the students to sign and keep their copies.
Next, Judge Erwin had volunteer students read each amendment (we had more students volunteer than amendments to read!). We then sang Happy Birthday to the Bill of Rights, and enjoyed delicious cake. The students were incredibly energetic, engaged, and grateful for our birthday celebration.
We cannot wait to return to Gatewood Elementary next year for the Bill of Rights Annual Birthday Celebration.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Suzanne Mitchell of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and Mr. Jake Krattiger of the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Federal Bar Association visited the John Rex Charter Elementary school's 4th grade class for the 227th birthday celebration of the Bill of Rights.
After talking about the United States Constitution a bit, and quizzing the students about the three branches of government, the classroom teacher selected 10 students to read one amendment each.
The students did a tremendous job, and the other students eagerly followed along with their own copies of the Bill of Rights. We sang Happy Birthday and reminded the students of their ownership -- individually -- of the Bill of Rights.
After devouring the cake, the students thanked us for coming. It was an inspirational way to start the day!
Over 1,100 children in 48 5th Grade classes in six public elementary schools in Homestead, Florida participated in the Bill of Rights Day birthday cake celebration.
The National Education Project, Inc. was also presented with a Proclamation at a meeting of the Miami-Dade County School Board on December 19, 2018, that graciously acknowledged the Project's commitment "to creating a renewed and vibrant awareness of the Bill of Rights" in the lives of Americans across the country.
Bill of Rights Day 2019 - Birthday Cake Celebration
Washington, D.C. & Across the Nation
The National Education Project, Inc. will commemorate Bill of Rights Day this year on Friday, December 13, 2019, by providing free birthday cakes to 4th Grade classes in the District of Columbia that are studying the Bill of Rights. Last year 24 schools throughout Washington, D.C. participated in this wonderful program.
The Project will also be providing free birthday cakes and free copies of the Bill of Rights to elementary schools across the country, including schools in Florida, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and other states.
Note that "Bill of Rights Day" this year officially falls on December 15, 2019. Because this date is a Sunday, however, the Project will celebrate Bill of Rights Day on the previous school day, Friday, December 13, 2019.
In addition to free birthday cakes, free copies of the Bill of Rights will be distributed in all participating elementary schools, which the children can then sign and take home to post on the family's refrigerator door, where, for the next 20 years, it will remind everyone in the home of their rights and liberties as Americans.
The cakes will be for elementary school classes studying the Bill of Rights. This is usually 4th, 5th, or 6th grade, as determined by each state.
- The cake will be a sheet cake of sufficient size to provide a piece of cake to every child in the classroom, as well as the teacher, principal, and classroom aides.
- All the cakes will be produced by a commercial bakery (e.g., Costco, Safeway, Whole Foods, Giant, etc.).
- Each cake will be decorated with the phrase: "Happy Birthday, Bill of Rights, 228 Years Old, December 15, 2019."
- This event is purely voluntary on the part of the schools, principals, and classroom teachers.
- The school may be public, magnet, charter, or parochial.
- A school that has more than one class studying the Bill of Rights will receive one sheet cake for each class.
- There is no cost whatsoever to the schools, the children or their families.
- The National Education Project will pay all costs of the cakes, as well as forks, plates, and napkins.
- All parties must keep in mind that the "Bill of Rights Day 2019 - Birthday Cake Celebration" is strictly non-partisan and non-political.
- The schools are encouraged to ask the local police department to deliver the cakes on Friday, December 13, 2019, something that would certainly get the attention of the children.
- Participation by the police department may engage the local press, providing a fine visual story, as well as a powerful symbolic moment, for the newspapers and the evening television news.
- It is our hope that the classroom teachers will incorporate lessons about the Bill of Rights into classroom activities during the week beginning Monday, December 9, 2019, culminating with the Bill of Rights birthday cake on Friday, December 13.
- We also hope that the teachers will encourage their students to read the Bill of Rights with their families that same evening, December 13, during the Project's "Seventh Annual, Live National Read-Along of the Bill of Rights over the Internet" at 8:30p.m. EST.
Just logon to: www.National-Education-Project.org and read the Bill of Rights along with your fellow Americans all across the country.
