Acct. Removed without notice

I had a negative account on my EQ that I disputed as not mine.  When I got my investigation results, it showed the result of the other entry I  disputed simultneously.  Well I pulled the EQ again and the acct not mentioned in their investigation was removed.

Does this mean they just took it off now to buy time in case they are able to verify it later?  I am not worried about them trying to verify because it is truely not mine.  I am just curious as to why EQ didn't mention it was removed in their investigation report to me.

Re: Acct. Removed without notice

[ Edited ]

If an item was disputed,  and their investigation found that either the information was found to be inaccurate, or that it could not be verified, then their requried treatment of the dispute is to delete the information from your credit file, and to notify the creditor (not you) of that deletetion. No notice was requried to have been served on you, if they deleted.

If they did not report back to you that their investigation found the disputed information to have been accurate, and instead deleted the information from your credit file, they have complied with FCRA 611(a)(5)(A)(i).

That does not precude the subsequent reinsertion of previously deleted information into your credit file, but it makes it a bit tough.

That procedure is set forth in FCRA 611(a)(5)(B).  It requires first that the creditor file a "certification of accuracy of information" with the CRA.  The CRA, upon receipt of this "certificatiion" from the credtior, can then reinsert the information, but must provide you written notice of that reinsertion within 5-days after the reinsertion.

Filing of a certification of accuracy would be a really dumb thing for any creditor to do if they have no proof of verification.  That is a legal document in your credit file that you can obtain.  It might subject them to civil or criminal actions.

A/N: Howdy there! Hope y'all had the merriest Christmases and Happiest Holidays, like, EVER! This is my contribution to the Secret Santa 2013 Extravaganza, although I'm a little bit late as per usual!
To explain one tiny lil' thingymajig, due to a small mix up or kerfuffle or what ever you wish to call it, I originally wrote this to someone else, but once this... kerfuffle was all sorted out, it turned out I was supposed to write for another person, so... Out of discretion I will not reveal the username of the person I originally wrote this for (starts with an A!), but the person this is for now finally, your username will be written at the end of the story!! Go and peek right now, if you must. But if you decide to read the story first (which, let's be honest, even I wouldn't do), I hope you enjoy!

Baby It's Cold Outside

He couldn’t believe it. This was the man who was supposed to love him, the man who was supposed to know him thoroughly, the man he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with... How could any of those things be true, he wondered, as he removed the last piece of green and red wrapping paper. The item he’d revealed, the one that had made his heart sink from disappointment...

“A pasta maker?” Gerard asked in disbelief. “For our first Christmas as a couple, you get me a pasta maker?”

“You don’t like it?”

“Frank, I burn instant noodles! What am I supposed to do with a pasta maker?!”

Frank felt very offended. Was it his fault that he was a lousy shopper? No! “Well I’m sorry that you’re just impossible to shop for!”

“Me?!” Gerard gasped, chuckling mockingly. “You’re the one that’s never happy with anything! It took me ages to find you that lint remover and you just got me a pasta maker?! Don’t you even know me?!”

Frank’s cheeks flushed crimson from frustration. “A lint remover?! That is WAY worse than a pasta maker!”

“You’re delusional!” Gerard shot back at him, and just like that, all hell broke loose. The peaceful, loving Christmas they had worked hard to build and maintain all day was wrecked. It didn’t really make things any better that both of them were incredibly stubborn and proud; not to mention the fact that this was their first real fight as a couple which just added to the fire.

It got pretty bad. By the end, they were both ready to rip off each others’ heads, which they probably would’ve done, if Gerard, the eternal drama-queen, hadn’t decided to storm out dramatically, shouting that he’d never come back and leaving Frank standing there alone in the apartment they shared. Huffing and puffing, the guitarist plopped down on the couch, still red in the face and still angry like a little bee. A freaking lint remover?!

Frank stood up and went to the table by the window. He noticed that there was quite a snowstorm going on outside. Good, he thought, narrowing his eyes menacingly, at least Gerard would get what he deserves if he catches a cold. Frank poured himself a glass from the bottle of fancy wine they’d bought to share, and glanced at the plastic tree. The decorations on the tree were scarce, as they couldn’t have really afford anything else at the moment, but it was still damn awesome. Then, he noticed the small wrapped box on the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Wondering how Gerard could have possibly wasted his money on a freaking lint remover when they couldn’t even afford a star to put on top of the tree, Frank picked up the box and unwrapped it. As he examined the small machine that was only slightly larger than his fist, for the first time Frank noticed all the lint on every piece of fabric around him. The couch, the curtains, even his clothes were covered with the gross stuff! First he began to pick them off one by one with his nails, but then broke out the big gun - the lint remover. Suddenly he didn’t understand how this small machine could’ve made him so angry, and he looked at the window in horror. Gerard was out there in the storm, all alone, catching all kinds of colds!

All the rage and anger forgotten, the guitarist quickly bundled up warmly into his jacket, mittens and woolly scarf, and ran out after his boyfriend.

No luck. In that snowstorm Frank could barely see past his own nose, let alone find anyone else. For hours he searched the town by foot, as it was useless to drive in this weather, and by the time he finally gave up and began his walk back home, he was completely drenched and covered with snow. He just couldn’t believe that Gerard and his first Christmas together as a couple, which was supposed to be so wonderful and romantic, was now absolutely ruined. And why? Because of a few silly gifts that probably hadn’t been thought through so well? He had no idea where Gerard had gone, and now it was too late. Even if the man decides to forgive him later, they would still remember this Christmas as a complete failure.

With his spirits down, Frank ventured home, and he might’ve cried a little bit if he wasn’t sure the tears would freeze on his face. When he got home, all he wanted to do was go back to that bottle of wine, maybe spike it up with something stronger, fall asleep somewhere warm and just forget about everything to do with lint or pasta. He didn’t even want to see another noodle in his entire life.

But instead of a cold, dark apartment, what Frank found made his heart melt. He followed the faint squeaking noise coming from the kitchen and found his boyfriend standing there by the table, turning the handle of the pasta maker, squeezing out some freshly made home-cooked pasta through it.

“Gerard?!” Frank asked in disbelief.

The man looked up and the look of pure concentration disappeared from his face. “Oh thank god, I was getting worried! You’re all covered in snow!”

“Yeah it’s sort of snowing... What are you doing here?”

Gerard shrugged. “After I left, I got to thinking... And you know what, I’ve actually thought about learning how to cook. And I do like pasta. So I came back, and I found you were gone so I decided to give this thing a try... Making pasta isn’t really that difficult.” Then he sighed and continued: “I really am sorry I got you such a shitty present, I’ll get you a new one, I swear.”

“No, it’s perfect!” Frank gasped. “I never noticed how much lint there is on everything! Actually it’s kind of bothering me right now how much lint you have on your shirt... None of that matters, though, because they’re only presents!”

Gerard nodded, finally letting go of the pasta maker. He went to Frank and removed the snow-covered scarf and jacket off of him. The snow was quickly melting and created puddles on the floor, but neither of them cared. “So... If the lint on my shirt bothers you that much... Do you want to go remove it and then maybe we could make some pasta?”

“I have a better idea,” Frank grinned, grabbing the fabric of Gerard’s shirt and lifting it up. The shirt was soon off and lying on the floor next to the soaking wet jacket and scarf. “Out of sight, out of mind. And baby, yours is the only noodle I ever want to see tonight,” Frank said, his voice low and seductive as he fumbled with Gerard’s belt. “And you know what?” he continued, pressing his mouth against his boyfriend’s ear, making him shiver. “I like my pasta al dente.”

Gerard burst into a hearty laugh and wrapped his arms around the shorter man. “Oh man, you’re just the worst at dirty talk!”

“Merry Christmas,” Frank said, with a small smile.

“Merry Christmas,” Gerard replied before finally kissing his boyfriend. Their first Christmas together as a couple turned out to not be such a disaster after all.

A/N: This monstrosity is for Suicide_Room, YAY! See I bolded your username and everything, I hope that makes you feel special. I hope you're not morally opposed to Frerards, and I hope you'll enjoy or have enjoyed, depending on whether you already read the story, what I've whipped up for you! Oh, and I hope you had a very big Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate, and I hope you'll have the absolute bestest New Years' and I hope your face won't be blown off by fireworks. Though I hope your mind will be blown by them... They're pretty awesome.

Wilma W. Karre
Birth: Jun. 29, 1914
Howard County
Nebraska, USA
Death: Jul. 4, 2009
Alameda County
California, USA

Miss Karre was my fifth-grade teacher. (Her sister, Hildred, was a teacher at another elementary school in the same school district.) One of the most memorable things about her class was that she made us do quite a bit of memorization - specifically, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Robert Frost's poem, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Wilma W. Karre June 29, 1914 July 4, 2009 Resident of San Leandro CA Wilma, the daughter of William and Florence (Kaliff) Karre was a native of Cotesfield Nebraska. Following her graduation from Cotesfield High School, she earned a Bachelors of Arts degree from Nebraska State University at Kearney. Graduate work was taken at U of Nebraska, Lincoln, U of Wyoming, Laramie, San Jose State, U of CA and UC Berkeley in CA. A career public school teacher for 44 years, she taught in Howard Co. Schools, Beaver Crossing, Dorchester, and 14 years in the NE public schools. She retired from the Roosevelt School of San Leandro CA. after 20 years. The Karre Marionettes, which she and her sister Hildred H. Karre designed and constructed, entertained hundreds of young and old throughout NE and surrounding states, as well as many schools and organizations in the Bay area and surrounding areas of CA. Wilma, an active member of Rebekah Lodge, served as Noble Grand as well as holding many other offices. Other services to the community of San Leandro were: member of Broadmoor Church and President of the Women's Fellowship, Past president of the Movie Crafters of Alameda and Historian for the CRTA Teacher's Association. Wilma enjoyed traveling which took her from the Baltic Countries to Hawaii and from Alaska to the Carribean. She served as organist for the AARP and Sunday Seniors of San Leandro. A singing group, The B Sharps was organized and gave many programs in the community. Upon her retirement from Roosevelt School, she was awarded a life membership in the state PTA and the same recognition for the local PTA Preceding her in death were her parents, brother Herman and sister Hildred and sister-in-law Dorothy. She leaves many cousins and friends. Entombment will be private. Arrangements by Chapel of the Chimes, 32992 Mission Blvd. Hayward CA 94544 510-471.3363

RE: Santa Rosa Memorial Park
I've made a new cemetery listing before and that allows me to do future edits on that cemetery page. I was hoping that was the case for you.

I recall submitting that data for the page quite a few years ago to Find A Grave via their Cemetery Update message board. Either I mistakenly put 1700 or someone later added that incorrect street number. I hope today's message to the cemetery email address gets some attention and fixes the error.
Added by arborvitae on Oct 24, 2016 6:31 PM
By any chance, did you originally create the cemetery page for Santa Rosa Memorial Park? I believe long ago I submitted data to its page and recently realized it has 1700 instead of 1900 as the address. I've contacted cemetery at find a grave dot com twice trying to get them to update the address and directions with no luck. I just sent them another note showing how long ago I submitted the first edit.

If you did first create this page, it will be a lot easier to get it updated since you would have access to making changes. Crossing fingers...

RE: Margaret McLain
Thanks for the reply. I am sorry to hear that your husband continues to be in poor health. It appears that you are correct: the family had a lot of money but then it disappeared. For some reason they had all that land and a mansion, and even about 50 slaves, which apparently was a lot for that time, and then most of them moved away from Rowan County (apparently to Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky), then they had no money. Who knows what happened to it all. I read where the Frohocks were not well liked in Rowan County because of the amount of money they charged as county clerks for marriage licenses, etc. Perhaps that was part of the reason their descendents left.

RE: Margaret McLain
Same for you, Bonnie. We're trying to figure out all the history of the Frohock family. Did you know that there is a Frohock family reunion in Wood River, Illinois on June 6? Specifically for the descendents of Dallas and Luella Frohock, but any Frohock family member is welcome!

I'm going to be in Charlotte for training 3 times in the next couple months. I'm going to try and visit Salisbury in Rowan County, NC, and also hopefully see any documents in Charlotte regarding the founding of the city of Charlotte by John Frohock, a direct ancestor of the Frohocks in Saline/Gallatin County. Please stay in touch!

  • Avatar: Camilla, are you sure we shouldn't go straight home?
  • Camilla: Yes, silly Brother/Sister. Father wishes to meet with us here in Cyrkensia. It's his favorite town in all of Nestra.
  • Avatar: But isn't it dangerous for Father to travel to a place like this?
  • Camilla: It's fine. Father comes here often, and nothing bad has ever happened. Nestra is neutral territory, so you need not fear unless you try to start a fight.
  • Avatar: Oh, I see. So we should all be safe here. That's a relief.
  • Leo: It's always best to remain on guard. Stay on your toes, Avatar. This territory may be neutral, but there might be unruly Hoshidans about.
  • Avatar: Leo!!
  • Leo: Long time no see, Brother/Sister.
  • Avatar: I'm so happy to see you! Did you finish Father's mission already?
  • Leo: For the most part. All that's left is to guard Father during his time here. After that, I'm free to do as I please. That means I'll be joining you.
  • Avatar: Thank you, Leo. I'll feel much better with you on our team.
  • Odin: Milord! You've finally arrived! I’ve been so worried... My mind has been spiraling intro a dark abyss ever since we parted!
  • Niles: It's nice to have you back. While you were doing the king's bidding we couldn't help but wonder what awful trials he was forcing you to endure. We've been terribly worried.
  • Leo: Whoa! This has gotten way too mushy way too fast!! I appreciate your concern, both of you, but give me some breathing room!
  • Odin: Heh, sorry...
  • Niles: As you wish, milord.
  • Leo: If you are quite finished, Father should be here shortly. I'm expected to be at the theatre well before he arrives. If you'll excuse me...
  • Avatar: The theatre? What theatre?
  • Leo: Ah, that's right. This is your first time in the fair town of Cyrkensia. This place is known for its incredible singers and dancers. They always put on a big performance whenever Father comes to visit.
  • Avatar: That's interesting... Sounds exciting.
  • Leo: If you're free, you should take the time to watch. It's sure to be breathtaking. Even warriors need to rest now and then. Just don't get carried away. Anyway, I really must be going. I'll catch up with you later!
  • Avatar: Bye, Leo!

(Leo leaves)

  • Avatar: It's so hard to put up a front when I'm still reeling from the tragedy in Cheve. As fun as it sounds, I'm in no mood for a show right now. Maybe Hans was lying. It's possible Father didn't really intend for us to... I'll ask him about it whenever I get the chance. I need to know. And if he did give the order, maybe I can convince him there's a better way.

(Scene transitions to a water-filled opera house, where the spectators seat in boats)

  • Avatar: Wow! THIS is Cyrkensia's opera house?! It's incredible...
  • Leo: Avatar! Over here!
  • Avatar: There you are, Leo! I'm glad I finally found you. I've never seen such a huge crowd.
  • Leo: It's something else, isn't it? You're just in time. Father arrived moments ago. Father... Avatar is here.
  • Garon: ...
  • Avatar: Father...
  • Garon: Avatar, I have received word about the incident in Cheve. I am told you eradicated the rebels, as well as the unarmed townspeople.
  • Avatar: Father, let me explain...
  • Garon: You did well, Avatar.
  • Avatar: Huh?!
  • Garon: When I heard that your group destroyed Cheve, I couldn't have been prouder. Rebellions are like seeds. One must salt the earth before they sprout. I knew you'd eventually come around and learn to accept my method of ruling. I'm told you even enjoyed watching the life spark fade from the injured rebel soldiers. Hans praised you highly for displaying behavior befitting a Nohrian royal.
  • Avatar: But, Father... That's not true! Why would Hans say that?! I need to talk to you about what happened in Cheve. If you'll please allow me to–
  • Iago: Lord/Lady Avatar, the performance is about to begin. Please take your seat.
  • Avatar: But–
  • Iago: Such an important show cannot be delayed for one person, even a prince/princess. You can discuss your newfound Nohrian pride with King Garon later.
  • Leo: What's wrong, Brother/Sister? Did something happen in Cheve?
  • Avatar: Yes, Leo... Something awful. But I suppose I'll have to discuss it with Father later.
  • Leo: Yes I'm afraid so. We can't keep the performers waiting. Your seat is right over there. Please hurry–it's about to begin.
  • Avatar: OK, I'm going. I'll fill you in later, Leo.

(Leo leaves)

  • Avatar: Huh... It occurs to me I haven't seen Azura in a while. She would love to see this... I hope she found a seat elsewhere.

Cutscene: Dark SongEdit

(Azura appears in the center of the stage wearing dark clothing and a veil that covers most of her face. She then begins to sing and dance, each of her movements leaving a trail of water in the air)

  • Azura: Embrace the dark you call a home, ♪ Gaze upon an empty, white throne...

(Scene briefly shifts to Garon's seat and the returns to Azura)

  • Azura: A legacy of lies, ♪ A familiar disguise... Sing with me a song of conquest and fate... ♪

(Scene briefly shifts to Garon, who begins to clench his teeth)

  • Azura: The black pillar cracks beneath its weight...

(The trails of water begin to cover the entire opera house. Scene briefly shifts to Garon, who begins to clench his fists and to groan)

  • Azura: Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone ♪ Lost in thoughts all alone.

(Garon continues with more groans of increasing discomfort)
(Movie ends)

  • Garon: Argh... Urgh...!!
  • Iago: My king! What's wrong?! King Garon!! Soldiers! Capture that performer! Do it NOW! Her song may have been a curse of some kind...
  • Avatar: A curse?! Father...
  • Leo: Avatar! Hurry, we need to catch that singer! Huh?! The stage... It's empty.
  • Avatar: Did she get away?! Well, she couldn't have gotten far. Let's hurry!
  • Leo: Right!
  • Kumagera: Stop right there, Nohrians.

(Hoshidan troops appear)

  • Avatar: Hoshidan soldiers?!
  • Kumagera: Back away if you wish to live. This war ends now... And the way to peace begins with the Nohrian king's death.
  • Avatar: You intend to buy peace with death? That's madness!
  • Leo: So the Hoshidans are responsible for that singer's curse. I should have known.
  • Kumagera: Singer? Curse? What are you rambling on about?
  • Leo: Don't play dumb. One of your underlings performed a cursed song to hurt our father!
  • Kumagera: I have no idea what you're referring to, nor do I care. Leave it to a filthy Nohrian to fabricate a story to try and distract us.
  • Leo: You're a liar and a coward! I won't let you get away with this!

(Azura appears in her normal clothing)

  • Azura: Avatar, what's going on?!
  • Avatar: Azura! Where have you been?
  • Azura: Sorry I'm late. I wasn't feeling well, so I went outside to get some air. Why are there Hoshidan soldiers here?
  • Avatar: They've come to kill father. They used some strange song to incapacitate him. Oh! While you were outside, did you see a strange woman fleeing the opera house?
  • Azura: ...No. I did not.
  • Kumagera: So you refuse to back down, eh? We'll just have to kill you all! Troops! Prepare to attack!
  • Leo: Dammit... We have no choice. We'll have to fight them off!
  • Avatar: Let's do this.

Battle BeginsEdit

  • Keaton: *sigh* I've made a real mess for myself. I came down the mountain to gather bugs for my collection, but now I'm lost... Hm? What's going on over there? I thought I heard a ruckus, but wow, that's a lot of people. Hmm... HMM... Ah! That guy/lady looks nice. I'll ask him/her for directions back up the mountain. I may have a horrible sense of direction, but I'm a great judge of character!

(The Avatar interacts with Keaton)

  • Keaton: Hey, you! Yeah, you with the sword and the hair and stuff!!
  • Avatar: WHAA! Wh-why does that man have a tail?!
  • Keaton: Wow, really? That's really how you're gonna play this? I thought you looked like a nice guy/lady, but you clearly have issues... For the record, I am NOT a man with a tail. I'm a wolfskin, and proud of it.
  • Avatar: Wolfskin? Sorry, but what's that?
  • Keaton: Seriously? Have you been living in isolation your whole life or what?
  • Avatar: Actually...
  • Keaton: As a wolfskin, I can transform into a wolf by using a beaststone. Pretty killer, eh?
  • Avatar: Wow, it really is! Sorry, I've lived a rather...sheltered life. I hope I didn't offend you. May I ask what you're doing here?
  • Keaton: Well, I'm sort of...just a bit...unsure of my whereabouts. I can't find my way home. I was thinking maybe...ya could help a fella out?
  • Avatar: Ah, so that's why you called out to me. You're lost, poor thing.
  • Keaton: No! No... I mean...maybe. I'm maybe just a little lost. but mostly not lost at all. It's complicated.
  • Avatar: Sorry, but I actually don't know this area, much less the way back to your home.
  • Keaton: Oh, I see. well, whatever. I can manage on my own. I'll be fine...
  • Avatar: Wait! Why don't you join my team? You can stick with us until you find your way home. You seem like you'd be a great ally. What do you say?
  • Keaton: Join your group... Hmm... Well, I could find my way home anytime I wanted. Let's get that clear. But if you really think I'd be helpful, I can't very well turn you down.
  • Avatar: Ha, your tail is wagging! Does that mean you're happy right now? Happy to join us?
  • Keaton: My tail is NOT wagging! It's not! Got it?! Anyway, I guess it's settled. Nice to know ya! The name's Keaton. As a token of our new friendship, I'd like you to have this treasure I came across.
  • Avatar: It's ball...?!
  • Keaton: Heh heh, gorgeous, ain't it? Best one I've seen in ages. No need to thank me. As my new pal, I'm entrusting this gem to you. You better take good care of it, or else!
  • Avatar: Thanks... I'll do that.

Against KumageraEdit

“We're not leaving until King Garon has met his maker. Stay out of our way!”
—Kumagera's Conquest Chapter 14 pre-battle quote.

“Damn you...King...Garon”
—Kumagera's Conquest Chapter 14 defeat quote.

After BattleEdit

  • Avatar: We somehow managed to win...but it seems that singer got away. Who even has the kind of power necessary to curse Father with a song?
  • Leo: I don't know, but I intend to find out. She's most certainly with the Hoshidans. We'll all be in a world of hurt if she shows up again. She must be stopped.
  • Avatar: I'm not convinced she was Hoshidan... I have a strange feeling that...

(Garon, Iago and Hans appear)

  • Garon: Avatar!
  • Avatar: Father? How are you feeling?
  • Garon: I'm fine, my son/daughter. I have a new task for you. Kill all of the singers in Nestra. Every last one of them.
  • Avatar: WHAT?! Y-you can't be serious! It was the Hoshidans who attacked us. The other performers are innocent!
  • Garon: Foolish boy/girl. This is the only way to keep our royal family safe. Perhaps if you had caught the guilty party, the others could have been spared. But we must destroy anyone who might pose a threat to the Nohrian throne. As I said, rebellions are like seeds, and we must salt the earth before they sprout. You've seen many battles by now. Surely you've at least learned that much.
  • Avatar: But Father! I won't—
  • Iago: Consider it done, my king.
  • Hans: Leave it to us, Your Majesty.
  • Garon: Iago, Hans. I look forward to hearing good news of Avatar's efforts.

(Iago and Hans leave)

  • Avatar: Wait! Both of you! Father, I tried to bring this up earlier, but now it simply can't wait. You keep ordering me to take lives of innocent people. Why? If we showed mercy and tried to talk things out instead, no one would have to die. Even if we manage to win the war this way, people will lose faith in our kingdom. That's hardly even winning...
  • Garon: Lose faith? Are you a princess or a saint, foolish child? After what you did in Cheve, I'm shocked to hear such a moralistic complaint.
  • Avatar: It's true... I didn't stop Hans in Cheve, as much as I wanted to. But what happened there tortures me, Father. It's no way to solve a conflict. Killing innocent people for our own benefit...for selfish glory and control... Is that really the Nohrian way? Is that really the legacy you wish to leave behind?!
  • Garon: You finally understand, though you still fight it. I desire only to rule Hoshido. I, and those who follow me, will do whatever it takes to achieve that. I don't care if the peons that fill our towns don’t trust us. They are nothing to me. Those who disobey will die. The rest will quickly learn.
  • Avatar: !!
  • Leo: Avatar, that's enough. Let's go. Father, Avatar is clearly exhausted from his/her travels and our recent battle. Please forgive his/her rude remarks. He/She doesn't truly feel that way.
  • Avatar: That's not true, Leo!
  • Leo: I said that's enough! Let's go. NOW.
  • Avatar: ...

(The Avatar and Leo leave, prompting a scene transition)

  • Leo: What were you thinking, challenging Father like that? Do you have a death wish?
  • Avatar: Leo, you heard the awful things he said. You don't agree with him...right? You can't agree that it's acceptable to kill innocent people for our own benefit!
  • Leo: Of course I don't. Why do you think I helped you save Kaze and Rinkah? But just because we disagree doesn't mean we can openly disobey Father. If you do, one of these days he'll overreact a have you killed on the spot. Trust me, Brother/Sister. It's best to just stay silent and follow orders.
  • Avatar: That's what Camilla said...
  • Leo: Your other siblings and I have been living under Father's thumb our whole lives. I am certain Xander and Elise would tell you the same thing.
  • Avatar: I see. I know that's how you and the others have been forced to live all these years... I understand your perspective, but I simply can't carry out the orders Father just gave. I refuse to harm the innocent. All I want to do is protect them—to protect everyone.

(The Avatar leaves)

  • Leo: Avatar, wait! Think about who you're talking to. You know me better than that. As I said, we must follow Father's orders...or at least appear to follow them.

(The Avatar returns)

  • Avatar: What do you mean?
  • Leo: Listen well. We may not be able to openly disobey him, but we're not powerless. Us royal siblings have made an art of appearing to be good little soldiers... All while secretly manipulating things for the better from behind the scenes. How do you think we've survived this long with our souls intact?
  • Avatar: Leo... I'm impressed. But isn't it dangerous to go behind Father's back all the time?
  • Leo: Sometimes the righteous path is the most treacherous one to walk. Listen up. start searching in unlikely places to give the performers time to escape. If our soldiers catch any of them, I'll step in and insist on killing them myself. I can't promise we'll be able to save them all, but that's the best I can do.
  • Avatar: Leo... Thank you. I'm sorry I doubted you, even if just for a moment.
  • Leo: Heh, no worries. But don't think I'm doing this for you! You know how whiny Camilla and Elise get when you're unhappy. No one wants that. Besides, doing things like this is exciting. It's not like I'm a hero or anything.

(Scene shows illustration of Leo's tome glowing)

  • Leo: Huh?! My Brynhildr is...glowing! And so is your Yato... What's going on?!
  • Avatar: Could it be? Is this the transformation the Rainbow Sage spoke of...? WHOA!!

(Pans to an image of Yato with a light behind it. After the screen flashes, the Yato begins emitting a purple glow. The hilt has also transformed)

  • Avatar: The Yato has transformed! This must be the Grim Yato the rainbow Sage told me about.
  • Leo: Grim Yato... what are you talking about?! Did I miss something?
  • Avatar: In Notre Sagesse, I sought out the Rainbow Sage as Xander suggested. The Sage said I would soon join forces with another hero of Nohr... And when I did, that my Yato would evolve into the Grim Yato.
  • Leo: The Sage said that? Incredible. Does that mean...I'm that Nohrian hero?
  • Avatar: That's the only explanation. There's some sort of otherworldly connection between our weapons. The sage also said my sword is fated to become the true Seal of Flames. That's all he was able to tell me.
  • Leo: The Seal of Flames... I wish I had time to digest all this, but time is a luxury we don't have. Iago and Hans might have already captured some of the singers. I'll leave you here. Promise not to challenge Father while I'm gone. I mean that, Brother/Sister. Your life depends on it.

McDonald’s is forging ahead with their campaign to break hearts promote nutrition by replacing Happy Meal toys with books.

November 1st through the 14th, the famous kids’ meals will contain one of four original children’s stories, featuring stories and characters that encourage healthy eating. These include the sympathetic “Goat Who Ate Everything,” as well as two puzzlingly healthy-yet-extinct characters: Deana the Dinosaur and Doddi the Dodo bird.

While taking away kids’ toys is plenty ambitious, McDonald’s promotion would also make them the largest national publisher of children’s books. They hope to distribute 20 million books in two weeks, 5 million more copies than the The Hunger Games sold in 2012.

Best of luck, Micky D’s, but don’t forget how the kiddies reacted last time you tried to change their stuff.

fish disease - Ciliate

fish disease

A.2. Ciliate

Parasites are usually moved by using vibrating hairs (cilia). Parasites are usually infects the skin, fins and gills of fish. As for some diseases caused by the ciliate include

1. lchthyophthiriasis
The reason is lchthyophthirius multifiliis. The disease is often called white spots disease in accordance with the resulting clinical symptoms. Types of fish that can be infected by this disease is almost all types of freshwater fish. including ornamental fish. The size of many fish are fish infected seeds or if the adult size Mas fish will be infected. Clinical symptoms are easily observed with the white spots on the infected body part. infected fish rubbed his body on the bottom / wall of the container cultivation.

Fish seen gasping for air, especially when the parasite infects the gills. In such circumstances the death of the fish will usually high, because the fish susceptible to interference due to absorption of oxygen from fish gills infected.

Prevention of this disease among others
- Use of water quality balk
- The equipment used should be disinfected prior
- Keep the water temperature at the level of 28 ° C.

Treatment of infected fish can be done in a way: soaking fish infected with a mixture of 25 ppm formalin for 24 hours. Move the fish into the water with a temperature of 28 ° C will help these parasites knocked out.

Causes are: Trichodina sp and Trichodinella sp. Trichodina sp. infects the skin and fins gills, while Trichodinella sp. Infect the gills of fish. But the situation

Trichodina infection was so severe that we can meet infect gills. These parasites infect nearly all types of fish both freshwater fish or saltwater fish, especially in the seed stage. Clinical symptoms of infected fish is a fish is weak, the body color is not bright / dull, and often rubbed his body on the wall or bottom of the pool. Water quality is not good, especially low oxygen content, density of fish that are too high to support the emergence of the disease.

Transmission of this disease can be through water or direct contact with infected fish. Disease prevention can be done by way of improvement of water Mutua, and reduce the density of fish. Treatment for the infected fish can be done by soaking the fish in 40 ppm solution of formality for 12-24 hours.

3. Tetrahymena sp.
The disease is primarily in ornamental fish and catfish in the early stages of life (seeds), and is a facultative parasites found only in fresh water. There on the skin and fins, but are sometimes found in the gills. Clinical symptoms can be observed is rather dull color of fish, fish movements slow, and if this parasite infects the gills of the fish will be seen gasping for air. Conditions that trigger this parasitic infection is poor water quality and fish density is too high.

Prevention: the improvement of water quality and the environment and reduce the density of fish. Drugs that can be used to treat the infected fish is the same as those used to treat disease Ichthyophthiriasis.

4. Epistylis spp.
This parasite is a common parasite found in Southeast Asia. Infected fish, especially freshwater fish such as catfish, carp, gurame, Tawes fish and generally are found in freshwater fish. Clinical symptoms: lean fish, eat, breath visible mengap advance if these parasites infect the gill cover. Can cause mass death in a nursing seedlings when aggravated by environmental conditions, occurs mainly in fish seed. Prevention: improvement of water quality, hygiene and subtracting the container density cultivation.

Treatment for the infected fish among others can use the drugs normally used to eradicate infectious diseases caused by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis.

5. Oodinium sp.
This parasite has a typical structure of a bulge that resembles cytoplasam roots, which serves as a pasting. Cytoplasmanya looks like foam that is equipped with a small partikei (granule). Essentially oval or sperical. At this stage the parasite does not have many flagella and do not swim. This parasite infects primarily freshwater fish and other freshwater fish. While contained in sea water fish is Amyloodinium sp.

Fish can be deadly within a
brief without showing clinical symptoms typical. Parasites can infect the skin, fins, gills, mouth and even eyes. Clinical symptoms include: bleeding in fish skin mat therefore the disease is known as Hama "velvet disease". If the parasites infect the gills of the fish will be seen gasping for air.

Prevention: controlling the entry of water include the use of filters, and carry out acts of quarantine for new fish coming for at least 14 days. Eradication of these parasites can be done by placing the infected fish at a temperature of 24-27 ° C in the dark state. NaCI at a dose of 30,000 ppm by immersion for 5-15 minutes can eliminate these parasites. Acriflavin at 0.2-0.4 ppm concentration for long-term submersion. For sp Amyloodinium eradication can be done by soaking the fish in fresh water.

6. Chilodonella spp.

Chilodonella spp. Much has been reported from Malaysia, and Indonesia Pilippina. Infect freshwater fish, especially lelean catfish, gurame and infect 50 species of ornamental fish. This parasite infects the skin, fins and gills of fish and sometimes in large numbers. Factors that support this parasitic infection is low temperatures that helped the less good is the condition of fish. These parasites attached to the host's body with the help of vibrating hairs (cilia) that are on the ventral part of the body.

While its movement is supported by a row of hairs on his body shakes. Clinical symptoms: the infected fish showed the irritating symptoms of movement, jumping surface water, does not react to stimuli and the stimulus fish will eventually weak. Fish mucus-covered blue-gray.

When it infects the gills have gill hyperplasia, so the fish will be seen gasping for air. Prevention: keeping condition / sepaya water quality remains good, minimizing the content of organic materials, and subtracting the density of fish. Treatment can be done by using a drug commonly used to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis.

Coping with Harbour events
  |  First Published: December 2005

NSW Maritime assists in the staging and management of hundreds of aquatic events each year, providing assistance in planning and event navigation restrictions to ensure the highest standards of safety afloat.

Most aquatic events occur from December to March, with the biggest events including management of the start to the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race and New Year's Eve and Australia Day on Sydney Harbour.

NSW Maritime advises that small craft need to be extremely cautious in large aquatic event environments and stick to the bays and inlets. The same advice applies to novice boaties, including those who may have hired a boat and are unfamiliar with the on-water environment.

Some other tips for boaters out on the water for an aquatic event include:

It can be tricky dropping anchor in a crowd of spectator vessels. With care, you can avoid a tangled mess at the end of the event. Follow these steps to make sure you anchor appropriately:

• Know the depth of water before you anchor.

• Ensure there is adequate chain on the anchor – generally one to two times the length of the boat.

• Ensure you have an appropriate anchor for the size of your craft.

• Keep your distance – multiply the length of your boat by three and that’s the distance to keep from other vessels anchored nearby.

• Watch the weather – as swell and wind can drag your anchor.

It is important to have the right communication tools so you can stay informed while afloat. A marine radio will give you a direct line of communication with authorities should you need to move your vessel or take someone ashore due to illness or emergency.

• 27.88MHz and VHF channels 13 and 17 broadcast general safety messages including weather forecasts.

• In the event of an emergency, boaters can communicate with authorities on radio VHF 16.

• NSW Maritime Info Line operates during all major aquatic events. Call 13 12 56.

• Follow the directions of all control vessels.

Skippers should make sure everyone on board has a lifejacket. Children and poor swimmers should always wear one.

Be bright at night: Ensure you have appropriate navigation lights, particularly if you intend to watch night-time events.

During an event, the Harbour is awash with small and large craft.

In the interest of safety, each skipper should maintain a safe speed, keep a proper lookout, avoid taking risks and obey navigation restrictions.

• When within 30 metres of another vessel limit your speed to 10 knots or less. Speed limit in an event area is 6 knots.

• Keep to the right side of channels.

• Keep 50 metres from naval installations. If boating in Sydney, stay inside the Heads unless you and your crew are experienced and the vessel adequately equipped.

• When operating in a special event area, limit your wash and keep a minimum of 30 metres from NSW Maritime Environmental Services vessels attending to buoys. Small craft should remain in calm waters, keeping well clear of larger craft, exclusion zones and congested areas.

With or without an event, NSW waterways are spectacular – let’s keep them that way. It is illegal to pollute any waterways in NSW with litter, oily bilge or galley water and sewage. Collect all your rubbish on board and dispose of it properly ashore – this includes cigarette butts.

Stow it, don’t throw it.

It can be a long day afloat and skippers and passengers can suffer from fatigue. Be wary of sunburn and keep under the 0.05 alcohol limit. Random breath testing is undertaken regularly by NSW Maritime Authority officers.

– NSW Maritime

• Stay 60 metres clear of naval shipping and wharves

• Stay 30 metres clear of berthed passenger ships

• Stay 100 metres clear of oil terminal wharves.

• Be aware of large penalties for non-compliance.

Reducing urinary incontinence can now be added to the extensive list of health benefits of weight loss, according to a clinical trial funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH), both part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The paper reporting the results of the trial will be published in the January 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

The Program to Reduce Incontinence by Diet and Exercise (PRIDE), conducted in Birmingham, Alabama, and Providence, Rhode Island, recruited a total of 338 obese and overweight women who leaked urine at least 10 times per week. The women were randomly assigned to either an intensive six-month weight-loss program of diet, exercise and behavior modification or to a group that received information about diet and exercise, but no training to help them change habits.

Clippies and headbands and korkers, OH MY!

Update AGAIN! Winner Announced!
Well, I took it to random.org like usual and for the first time in the history of everything that exists, out of 29 entries, look what number came up:

The last entry?! Whenever does THAT happen?! Anway...congratulations to Meg and sweet baby girl on winning the loot!! Contact me, Meg, with your email address and I'll get your info over to Mimi & Co so you can claim your goods! Enjoy!

Update: Deadline extended until Saturday evening!

You know how I love to share a good thing with you, right? How, when I find something I truly love, I JUSTCAN'TWAIT to tell you all about it?

Well, I've got something to tell you.

Remember the "Great Haircutting Debacle of 2012"? Wherein, Baby Girl cut herself some (kind of adorable) bangs THE NIGHT BEFORE our family photos?

Yeah. That.

Turns out that as cute as those bangs were, I'm not keeping them. And they are now at the "annoyingly in the eyes" stage...here's the kicker though...her hair? It's super fine. I could not (note the past tense use of that) find a single, solitary clippie, bobbie pin, barrette to keep those bangs out of her eyes...until?

Enter: Mimi & Co. Every year our town hosts a craft fair and last year I saw some adorable clippies that Kristin from Mimi & Co calls "Korkers" and I picked up a couple. Well, those clippies were the ONLY ones that will stay put in my girl's hair. So, imagine then, where do you think my first stop at this year's craft fair was?

Yup. Mimi & Co's booth, where I grabbed a couple more. Only to get home and realize I should've bought one in every color and then some. So, I looked up Mimi & Co on Etsy and contacted Kristin about buying more Korkers and a few conversations later and BOOM, we have a giveaway all planned out for one of YOU!

Let me tell you what I love about these bad boys...first of all, the adorableness of them. So cute and girly and in SO many colors and color combos! Love.

Second, see that shiny little bit on the inside of the clippie? It's a little swipe of silicone to help hold those fine wispy locks in place!

And the alligator clip? So easy to quickly slide into your busy little girl's hair.

This is one of my favorites...it reminds me of sherbet.

I just love, love, LOVE the color and the patters and the combos Kristin puts together...so easy to match with so many outfits! (Hmmmm...how about a yellow/gray combo? Love those colors together!)

To give you a size reference, I put one in my palm...as you can see, they are totally "everyday" wearable and cute enough for any dressy outfit, too!

So, wanna know what you can win for the little sweetie in your life? Take a peek:

Yes, one lucky winner will win the two headbands above as well as any 2 clippies of your choice! Believe me when I say you will LOVE Mimi & Co.'s products!

Here are the rules for you:
1. To be entered, head on over to Mimi & Co.'s Facebook page and give it a "Like", then come back and leave a comment telling me you "Liked" her page.
2. For a second entry, tweet the following: I want to win a Mimi&Co. grab bag from @5crookedhalos ! http://bit.ly/T06Sqx #giveaway
3. Giveaway will close October 13th at 8 pm CST. Winner will be announced Saturday October 13th...watch for it!

Disclaimer: Mimi & Co provided me with some of my beloved Korkers for this review/giveaway. I hereby solemnly swear that I do, indeed, love these clippies with all my heart and soul.

Good luck...and may the odds be EVAH in your favor. :) (How about a third entry if you can name that movie?)

Since 2002, daily Florida political news and commentary

Welcome To Florida Politics

Thanks for visiting. On a semi-daily basis we scan Florida's major daily newspapers for significant Florida political news and punditry. We also review the editorial pages and political columnists/pundits for Florida political commentary. The papers we review include: the Miami Herald, Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Naples News, Sarasota Herald Tribune, St Pete Times, Tampa Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Tallahassee Democrat, and, occasionally, the Florida Times Union; we also review the political news blogs associated with these newspapers.

For each story, column, article or editorial we deem significant, we post at least the headline and link to the piece; the linked headline always appears in quotes. We quote the headline for two reasons: first, to allow researchers looking for the cited piece to find it (if the link has expired) by searching for the original title/headline via a commercial research service. Second, quotation of the original headline permits readers to appreciate the spin from the original piece, as opposed to our spin.

Not that we don't provide spin; we do, and plenty of it. Our perspective appears in post headlines, the subtitles within the post (in bold), and the excerpts from the linked stories we select to quote; we also occasionally provide other links and commentary about certain stories. While our bias should be immediately apparent to any reader, we nevertheless attempt to link to every article, column or editorial about Florida politics in every major online Florida newspaper.

Twist in Scott's attack on "Fair Districts"

    "Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature on Tuesday asked the federal government to sign off on a pair of voter-approved constitutional amendments requiring lawmakers to draw nonpartisan political districts. The move comes three months after Gov. Rick Scott drew partisan criticism — and was quickly sued — for quietly withdrawing the application submitted by former Gov. Charlie Crist."

    Here's the kicker:
    [The] authors of Amendments 5 and 6 said the new request “contains a number of statements that are clearly intended to undermine the intent” of the changes. The application explains that the changes could potentially hurt minority voting strength, but would not if “properly interpreted.”

    Former state Sen. Dan Gelber, a Miami Beach Democrat now affiliated with Fair Districts Now, the group that put the questions on the statewide ballot, said in a statement that he would likely file concerns with the U.S. Department of Justice.

    The back-and-forth was just the latest twist for a pair of amendments that aim to stop lawmakers from drawing legislative or congressional districts that favor a particular political party. Lawmakers must finish drawing new Florida districts, including two new U.S. House seats, before the 2012 elections.
    "Florida restarts process to clear voter-approved redistricting standards".

    William March: "Florida legislative leaders Mike Haridopolos and Dean Cannon have resubmitted the state's new anti-gerrymandering amendments for federal approval, but in a way that critics say seeks to allow the Legislature to continue drawing districts to benefit Republicans."

    "On Tuesday, Cannon and Haridopolos submitted a new application, but said in it that the amendments could harm minority voting rights in Florida, depending on how they're interpreted. If so, Cannon and Haridopolos said, the Department of Justice shouldn't approve them." "Critics say lawmakers want to continue gerrymandered districts".

    A look ahead

    "A look ahead at the Legislature". See also "Today in Tallahassee: House budget marathon, Senate Medicaid bill" and "2011 legislative summary".

    Masters of the universe

    "Florida lawmakers take varying views of Obama's Libya explanation".

    Sink beats Scott by 20 points

    "Overall, 32 percent like his job performance, compared with 55 percent who disapprove. PPP, a firm that often polls for Democrats, says that in a hypothetical matchup, Scott would lose 56-37 to Democrat Alex Sink, whom he bested by the thinnest of margins in November." "New poll shows that Florida Gov. Rick Scott isn't popular". See also "PPP Poll: Rick Scott Upside Down, Marco Rubio Is Solid".

    Smart pundits agree: Legislators are whores

    Scott Maxwell can't resist pointing out that "Florida lawmakers are among the most innovative pimps you'll ever meet. Just when you think they've exhausted every possible way to prostitute themselves, they come up with something new." "Just what we need: More big money in politics".

    On Sunday, Howard Troxler wrote that "The Florida Legislature proved this past week, once and for all, that it is the utter Whore of Babylon." Troxler has more today.

    Medicaid deform

    Update: "House Readies Medicaid Reform for the Grand Finale".

    "The Republican-controlled House turned back a move Tuesday by Democrats to block the wholesale shift of Florida's Medicaid program to private companies and networks of hospitals and other health care providers. ... Republicans say contracting with health management organizations and provider networks would reduce rapidly rising expenses for the fraud-plagued, program that covers low-income and disabled people. It costs about $20 billion now and is forecast to grow to $28 billion by 2014-15." "Florida House begins debate on Medicaid revamp". See also "State House advances Medicaid overhaul".

    Republicans won't say that privatizing has the delightful effect of filling RPOF campaign coffers. As Paul Krugman once put it:

    Jeb Bush has already blazed the [spoils system] trail. Florida's governor has been an aggressive privatizer, and as The Miami Herald put it after a careful study of state records, "his bold experiment has been a success" at least for him and the Republican Party, records show. The policy has spawned a network of contractors who have given him, other Republican politicians and the Florida G.O.P. millions of dollars in campaign donations."
    "Victors and Spoils".

    Funny how that works.

    Speaking of privatization

    "Senate budget would privatize many prisons".

    Republican from Umatilla attacks "socialism" in Miami and Orlando

    "A proposal to shrink Citizens Property Insurance Corp. by raising premiums and limiting the types of policies the state-run insurer can issue passed its first Senate hurdle Tuesday but not before intense debate over what has become Florida’s largest single property insurer with nearly 1.3 million policies."

    “Socialism failed in Moscow," said Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla. "It’s going to fail in Miami and Orlando as well."
    "Citizens’ bill to raise premiums clears first hurdle in Senate". Related: "Citizens' customers would see higher rates, be forced to switch insurers, under bill".

    Who is Plakon's constituency?

    "A bill filed by state Rep. Scott Plakon, a Republican from Longwood, threatens to dismantle university unions as well as many other government-employee unions if fewer than half of eligible employees are members."

    Convincing employees to pay 1 percent of their salaries to join can be a tough sell. That's because all faculty — union members and non-members — enjoy the benefits of the contracts and salary changes the union negotiates on their behalf.
    "Bill takes aim at university faculty unions".

    Legislators return favor

    "Legislators return favor to FPL with renewables bill".

    Darden Restaurants shameless

    "Darden Restaurants is lobbying the Florida Legislature for a tax break that would save the company as much as $5 million a year in sales taxes even as lawmakers weigh deep spending cuts to public schools, prisons and many other areas to cover a nearly $4 billion budget shortfall." "Darden seeking one-of-a-kind tax break from Legislature". See also "Darden profits jump 14 percent".

    "It's a Baker Act Convention"

    Daniel Ruth: "To paraphrase Mark Twain's famous line, no scintilla of common sense, reality or functioning brain synapses are safe while the Florida Legislature, that parallel universe of addled delusion, is in session."

    This isn't even a legislative session at all. It's a Baker Act Convention, an assemblage of crazy people who gather together once a year in a heated competition to see who can come up with the dopiest ideas for laws to foist off on the body politic.
    "Off and running in race for dopiest idea".

    "Legislators willing to divert dollars to cronies"

    The Tampa Trib editors: "Former Florida House Speaker Ray Sansom got off in his trial for conspiracy, but he was not vindicated as he claimed. The episode may not have represented corruption, but it revealed a legislative leadership willing to mislead and divert public dollars to political cronies." "The shameful Sansom case".

    Gentlemen, start your bulldozers

    "Bills gutting growth management sailing through Legislature". See also "Losing controls on growth".

    In Tally, "unlimited payoffs from those seeking favorable treatment"

    Howard Troxler: "There is no state, no nation, no planet, and no universe where it should be legal to pay off a Legislature directly."

    There is no government in which a sworn lawmaker should be able to take unlimited payoffs from those seeking favorable treatment.

    And yet this is now precisely the law of Florida.

    In Sunday's column I called the Florida Legislature "the Whore of Babylon" for passing a law last week that legalizes its own bribery.

    But the topic cries out not to be forgotten. This is a turning point in Florida's history.

    It is now legal in Florida for the leaders of our House and Senate, of both the Republican and Democratic parties, to operate what are laughably called "leadership funds."
    "Let's say it again: Florida's legislators are for sale".

    "Code of honor"

    "Three Republican legislators today proposed a 'code of honor' forbidding state lawmakers from voting on any issues they have a personal financial stake in." "Lawmakers propose 'code of honor' bill".

    "Singling out unions"

    Even the Orlando Sentinel recognizes that the "Florida GOP legislators [is] singling out unions".

    "Job-killing regs" kill no jobs

    "As lawmakers seek to close a budget gap and eliminate 'job-killing regulations,' a vast deregulation bill would free auto repair shops from providing customers with written estimates that break down the cost of parts and labor."

    It would halt inspections of businesses that sell ice, and stop state reports on how charities use their contributions.

    Twenty different businesses are targeted in the bill, including movers, interior designers, talent agents and sports agents that recruit and represent student athletes.

    And how much money would the state save with these changes?

    "Deregulation bill would cost state".

    No Casinos

    "A major effort to sprinkle Las Vegas-style casinos throughout Florida is no longer a safe bet, a top lawmaker said Tuesday. State Sen. Dennis Jones, R-Seminole, who has spearheaded the Senate’s gaming efforts the past few years, is withdrawing a proposal to bring five “destination resorts” to the state that would have featured full casino gaming." "Casino bill is dead for session".

    We don' need no stinkin' regerlations

    "Five S. Fla. eateries closed for health, safety violations".

    "Death match"

    "Hundreds of green-clad government employees converged on the Capitol on Tuesday for a "death match" with conservative legislators who want to cut pensions, end deduction of union dues and privatize thousands of state jobs." "State workers go green for anti-Gov. Scott rally". Related: "Scott and legislators under fire from protesters".

    Budget blues

    "Setting up a possible showdown in May, the Senate on Tuesday released a proposed budget for the next fiscal year that is $3.3 billion larger than a competing House plan." "Senate's budget plan higher than House's proposal". See also "Senate, House Budgets at Odds Over How, Not How Much".

    College professors next on the chopping block

    "Bill Ending Tenure at State College System Clears House Subcommittee".

    Lightweight to face Wasserman Schultz

    "Karen Harrington announced on Monday that she will run once again for Conrgess against Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz."

    Harrington defeated two candidates -- Robert Lowry and Donna Milo -- for the Republican nomination in 2010. So far, at least two other potential candidates stand in Harrington’s way for the Republican nomination. Tea party activist Joe Goldner has filed to run against Wasserman Schultz. Goldner has called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama and supports the federal Defense of Marriage Act Coral Springs businessman James Gleason, who is a vice president of the Republican Business Network, is also considering joining the race.
    "Karen Harrington Challenges Debbie Wasserman Schultz".

    Florida Forever

    "Any revenue for buying land would have to come from the sale of other state lands. Environmentalists are not sure if they like the idea." "Senate budget proposal would include $308 million in spending for Florida Forever".

    Scott's rule-making freeze in court

    "A blind woman who said her application for food stamps was stymied by Gov. Rick Scott's edict freezing new state regulations filed suit Tuesday in the Florida Supreme Court, saying the governor violated the constitutional separation of powers." "Suit challenges Gov. Scott's rule-making moratorium".

    RPOFers save themselves from ethics rules

    "Sen. Mike Fasano’s effort to stiffen penalties against corrupt lawmakers and public officials was killed on a 3-8 vote by the Senate Rules Committee, with most of the nay votes coming from fellow Republicans." "Rules Committee kills ethics bill targeting corrupt officials".

    "The law of unintended consequences"

    The News-Journal editors: "In 2009, the Florida Legislature passed a law tying state court funding to civil filing fees. It seemed like a reasonable move. Foreclosures were skyrocketing, and legislators figured it was only fair that users pay for services. Lawmakers saw dollar signs and a way to unburden the state general fund and to fund the overall court system, which has 20 circuit systems and hears both criminal and civil cases."

    But the Legislature made court-system funding too dependent on these fees. Two years later, court revenues across the Sunshine State have fallen through the floor as the number of foreclosure filings has fallen. Yes, fallen. Foreclosures fell because of lawsuits and political pressure questioning the paperwork behind the original mortgages and the foreclosures.
    "Reliable court funding essential to justice".

    What a deal

    "The Florida Prepaid College program was always billed as a bargain for families with college-bound children. It was a really good deal for those who bought into the program before 2007."

    That was before the Legislature created "differential tuition," which allows universities to raise rates up to 15 percent a year until Florida's traditionally low tuition costs meet the national average.

    Now, when you buy into the prepaid program, those anticipated increases are factored in. The most recent price to sign up a newborn for a four-year university plan was more than $45,000 -- more than double the cost two years ago.

    But the families who purchased plans before differential tuition existed don't have to pay those fees. Instead, it's the universities -- and the cash-strapped state -- that ultimately lose out.
    "Prepaid college tuition's soaring cost triggers debate". Related: "How high will Florida raise tuition?".

    Glowing report

    "Ship-repair firms in northeast Florida would likely be able to support the maintenance requirements of a nuclear aircraft carrier if one moves from Norfolk, Va., to Mayport, Fla., the U.S. General Accountability Office said Tuesday." "GAO: Fla. industry can maintain nuclear carrier".

Models for Reformation: John Knox (1505-1572)

By Jay Rogers
Published March 31, 2008

John Knox was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland at the time when John Calvin began the Reformation of Geneva. The flames of the Reformation began to be kindled in Scotland in the heart and mind of Knox’s close friend George Wiseheart. Being on familiar terms with Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, Wiseheart was chosen by King Henry the Eighth for going to Scotland and interceding for the hand in marriage of Mary Stuart, the infant “Queen of Scots,” with Edward, the infant son of the King of England. Wiseheart was an unwilling tool of King Henry in this matter and his action set Catholic Scotland against him. When Wiseheart was burned at the stake by Cardinal Beaton, the fires that consumed his body fired the heart of John Knox. From that hour he was the enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. Two years later, Beaton was assassinated by “parties unknown.”

Shortly after the death of Beaton, John Knox came to Edinburgh as a newly ordained priest, having been accused of “hatching the plot” against the cardinal even though he did not personally take a hand in executing it. Soon Knox had a growing group of followers. He accused the Catholic clergy of Scotland of being “gluttons, wantons and licentious revelers, but who yet regularly and meekly partook of the sacrament.” Knox traveled to Geneva three times to study under Calvin who had a high regard for the young Scotsman. Knox returned to Scotland, was married at age 38, and was widowed a few years afterward.

Then hell sent a close call for the Reformer in the person of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary’s mother was Mary of Guise, a French woman married to King James of Scotland. Knox bore a terrible hatred toward Mary of Guise. His book, The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, had Mary Tudor, Mary of Guise, and Mary Queen of Scots, in mind. As soon as Mary Queen of Scots had landed on Scottish soil, Knox fled fearing for his life. Before long he returned to Scotland and sought a personal interview with the queen, then 20-years-old, “with intent to bring her heart to Jesus.” Mary then tried her hand at converting Knox back to Roman Catholicism – or the “Mother Church” – with bribes of political power. Stormy interviews followed, punctuated by “covenantal lawsuits” served up by Knox and his followers.

In response to Knox’s imprecatory prayers, Mary Queen of Scots is reputed to have said: “I fear the prayers of John Knox more than all the assembled armies of Europe.” In response to the rising resistance of the Scottish Reformers, Mary fled Scotland and was later put to death by a court of English who had accused her of plotting to assassinate Elizabeth I. Knox was survived by the Scottish Covenanters, who drew up a compact in 1638 asserting their right, under God, to national sovereignty.

Progress of Nations, ed. Charles H. Sylvester (Hanson-Bellows Company, 1912) vol. III, pp.454-457.

this is the same John Knox who wrote: “Women in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man.”

So disgusting!!!

Posted by mary mont on 11/15/2009 01:36 PM #

I an not, have never been a Roman Catholic but, John Knox did not treat Mary Queen of Scots as the Bible tells us to treat out enemies. Who gave John Knox the right to treat anyone in the despicable manner he used on his enemies.

Well, (Cecilia o’Kelly), what about Elijah? Didn’t he speak out against King Ahab? John Knox disagreed with Mary, and he was trying to let her know that she was wrong, by protest. This is one of man’s inalienable rights according to the American Constitution, written by men with a strong sense of God and morality. They looked to the Bible for their new government’s structure. So we can assume that Knox was not morally wrong for his feud with the queen, and we should let God decide if it was the wisest and most helpful thing to do.

Posted by Wyatt Tisland on 02/16/2011 01:29 PM #

Others state the date of Knox’s birth as 1514.
“Plain Mr. Knox”(e.whitley)indicates that his father may have been killed at Flodden (1513). 1505 seems to be out.

Posted by dugie mc nab on 02/27/2011 07:55 AM #

As a historian and Scot, living in Scotland, may I point out that the murderers of Cardinal David Beaton were very well known. Please bear in mind that history is written by the winners. most of the primary sources for the whole incident of Knox’s life were written by himself. Regardless of your politics or religion, his glee and joy at the murder of the Cardinal was vastly at odds with what should be seen in a professed Christian and man of God. I have intensively reasearched the period – as a historian, not a member of any faction, and the ‘facts’ do not tally with the other evidence.
May I also point out the Cardinal (Beaton) had one ‘mistress’ for over 25 years. She was by the laws of Scotland then and now, his wife, ‘by habit and repute’. Please do not equate any church or belief system of today with what was the norm in the past.

Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification

In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.

By the 21st century, we need a “Puritan Storm” to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is “God walking on earth.” We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex “marriage.” This booklet gives a primer on our founders’ Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of ChristThe Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)

Who is the Real Jesus?

Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the “historical Jesus” — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.

Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.

The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)

That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!

Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation’s moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America’s dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren’t looking.

Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)

High Quality Paperback — 200 pages

A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism

Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner

The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of “Christian postmodernism” and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.

Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank’s attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.

Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)

Download the free Study Guide!

Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?

This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.

Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion’s specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.

The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?

As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).

Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.
