Schumer wants to extend ban on 3D-printed plastic guns

The ATF last week demonstrated how the guns can explode

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said today that the law banning "undetectable" guns that include weapons made of thermoplastics on 3D printers is about to expire and called for efforts to extend and even tighten restrictions on the guns.

The Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act, first announced by Schumer in May, aims to extend the 1988 ban on undetectable firearms to any gun or receiver (the upper boy of a gun) that would not be detectable by walk-through metal detectors or would not generate an accurately shaped image on an x-ray machine.

The existing Undetectable Firearms Act expires on Dec. 9. Once that happens, it will be legal to print, sell or carry a 3D plastic gun like any other gun, Schumer said.

Sens. Patrick Leahy of (D-VT) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill.

"If the legislation is not renewed, individuals will be able to easily carry a 3D plastic gun through a metal detector and gain access to an airplane, school, sporting event, courthouse or other government buildings," Schumer said in a statement.

Under his planned legislation, it would be illegal to carry guns made of undetectable polymers, such as the Liberator, which became the first 3D printed gun earlier this year. Defense Distributed, the company that developed the Liberator 3D printed gun, released a YouTube video demonstrating the gun being test fired - all in the name of the Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms.

The CAD drawings for the Liberator, which could be used on 3D printers, have seen more than 100,000 downloads.

Schumer said the Liberator's CAD blueprint allows for a piece of metal that can be easily removed and plays no functional role but renders the gun legal; bullets can be fired from the gun even though it is made entirely of plastic.

Last week, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) published videos demonstrating how some plastic models of the Liberator were able to fire up to eight rounds, while others exploded on the first round; the success of the weapon depended on the polymers and printers used.

ATF firearms experts test a 3D printed gun created by polymers from VisiJet. The gun continually exploded on the first shot.

Schumer raised alarm bells, saying anyone with $1,000 and an internet connection can access those CAD files and make their own guns, making it too easy to bypass security at airports, sporting events or any other venue that relies on metal detectors or x-ray machines for security.

"We are looking at a world in which anyone with a little bit of cash can bring an undetectable gun, that can fire multiple bullets, anywhere - including planes, government buildings, sporting events and schools," Schumer said in a statement. "3D printers are a miraculous technology that have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing, but we need to make sure they are not being used to make deadly, undetectable weapons.

"By attaching an extension of this bill to one of the several must pass pieces of legislation, we can prevent an explosion of these silent killers," he said.

John Chrysostom

From Conservapedia
(Redirected from St. John Chrysostom)
Jump to: navigation, search
St. John Chysostom

St. John Chrysostom (347 – September 14, 407) led a dignified life as a great defender of the early Church. Given the surname Chrysostom "Golden-mouth", for his eloquent sermons, some lasting for two hours. St. John was bishop of Constantinople and a great theological writer. Criticized the rich for not sharing their wealth, fought to reform the clergy, opposed simony, called for fidelity in marriage, encouraged practices of justice and charity. He was energetic and outspoken which made him a target for criticism. St. John is generally considered the greatest preacher ever heard in a Christian pulpit.[1] St. John was proclaimed the greatest of the Greek Doctors of the Church, a title given to him by Pope Pius V in 1568.

Early life

John was born in Antioch, a major city in the Roman Empire. His father Secundus was a high-ranking Syrian military officer who died shortly after his birth. He was raised by his mother Anthusa, who was a model of virtue. John was sent to the best schools of Antioch. The most famous orator of that period, the pagan Libanius, educated John in rhetoric, Greek language and literature. He was further educated in theology under Diodore of Tarsus, later known as bishop of Tarsus. He received Holy Baptism and was ordained a deacon by bishop Meletius. Four years later, Chrysostom resolved to live as an anchorite in one of the caves near Antioch. Due to declining health, he returned to Antioch after two years. In the year 386, Chrysostom was ordained priest by bishop Flavian.

Bishop of Constantinople

Illustrating the influence of his sermons, citizens who had gone on a riotous rampage in which statues of the Emperor Theodosius and family were destroyed. The Antioch citizens were enraged by the levy of new taxes. Chrysostom preached 21 sermons in which he told the people to see the error of their ways. The sermons lasting impression had many pagans converted to Christianity as a result. In the presence of a great assembly, John was ordained Bishop of Constantinople on 26 February, 398. The first act of the new bishop was to bring about a reconciliation between bishop Flavian and Rome. He embarked on a mission of reform. First was reform for his clergy then for the people of his diocese. John frequently preached against the unreasonable extravagances of the rich and the vanity of women. In his first year, he had built a great hospital with the money he had saved in his household.

Gainas, who was an Arian Goth, became commander-in-chief of the imperial army. He demanded one of the Catholic churches at Constantinople for himself and his soldiers. Chrysostom made so energetic an opposition that Gainas yielded. Constantinople citizens were excited and had slain a couple thousand Goths. Gaines escaped, was defeated, and slain by the Huns. Chrysostom's authority had been greatly strengthened by the firmness of character he had shown during all these troubles.

Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, personally undertook to discredit John. Theophilus and other angered bishops were supported by Empress Eudoxia. Theophilus feared the growth in importance of the Bishop of Constantinople and took occasion to charge John with fostering heresy.[2] A long list of the most ridiculous accusations was drawn up against Chrysostom. John naturally refused to recognize the legality of a synod in which his open enemies were judges. After a third summons Chrysostom, with the consent of the emperor, was declared to be deposed. Fearing the people's wrath and some punishment from heaven for Chrysostom's exile, Eudoxia immediately ordered his recall. After some hesitation, Chrysostom re-entered the capital amid the great rejoicings of the people. But not long after, Eudoxia had accused John of alluding to her in his sermons against riches of imperial life. She wished to depose of Chrysostom and summoned Theophilus for the task. He wrote to Constantinople that Chrysostom should be condemned for having re-entered his see in opposition to an article of the Arian Synod of Antioch held in the year 341. They urged the emperor Arcadius to sign a new decree of exile. Arcadius signed the decree 24 June, 404 for a second time John went into exile. In the midst of his sufferings he found the greatest peace and happiness.[3] The followers of the exiled bishop made a huge conflagration destroyed the cathedral, the senate-house, and other buildings. A new bishop was installed and whoever refused to enter into communion with him was punished by confiscation of property and exile. When the circumstances of his deposition were known, the Pope and the Italian bishops declared themselves in John's favor. Emperor Honorius and Pope Innocent I endeavoured to summon a new synod, but their legates were imprisoned and then sent home. The Pope broke off all communion with the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch and Constantinople. John had the consolation of knowing that the Pope remained his friend, and did for him what lay in his power. Chrysostom enemies were not satisfied with the sufferings he had already endured, and they banished him further to Pythius, at the very edge of the Empire. He died on his way there on September 14, 407.

Sermons and Homilies

  • Hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament and Old Testament. Sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles.
  • Against Those Who Oppose the Monastic Life, written while a deacon.
  • A series of eight sermons delivered to Christians from participating in Jewish customs. Chrysostom criticized those "Judaizing Christians", who were participating in Jewish festivals and taking part in other Jewish observances. His writings have been circulated by many groups in an attempt to foster anti-Semitism or opposition to Christianity. Nazi Germany tried to convince German and Austrian Christians that the Jews deserved to be exterminated by using John's sermons to their advantage.

  • "When you perceive that God is chastening you, fly not to his enemies...but to his friends, the martyrs, the saints, and those who were pleasing to him, and who have great power in God."
  • "It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life."
  • "God asks little, but He gives much."

A koala with her cub.

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal (tree-dwelling) herbivorous animal native to Australia, feeding almost exclusively on the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree, and the only known member of the family Phascolarctidae. This animal sleeps about 18 hours a day so it is rarely awake at all. Although sometimes referred to as a koala bear, it is not a bear at all, but rather a marsupial, which means it raises its young in a pouch on its belly.

The koala is found all along the eastern coast of Australia from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula, and as far from the coast as there is enough rainfall to support suitable forests. The koalas of South Australia were largely exterminated during the early part of the 20th century, but the state has since been repopulated with Victorian stock. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.

The pouch

The pouch of the koala, unlike those of kangaroos and possums, but like those of wombats and the extinct Tasmanian tiger, faces to the rear, i.e., downward. And as the mother is unable to lick the pouch clean in readiness for a new fetus, as the kangaroo does, it has a remarkable self-cleaning mechanism.[1]

The koala feeds almost exclusively on the leaves of selected species of the eucalyptus (Australian gum) tree. Its diet affects many of its characteristics.

The eucalyptus leaf contains most of the water that the koala needs. It is commonly claimed that this attribute gave the animal its name, supposedly from an Aboriginal word meaning "no drink".[2]

The eucalyptus is unpalatable to other animals because of its high phenol and terpene content. The Koala's digestive system is especially designed or adapted to detoxify the poisonous chemicals in the leaves.

Besides being poisonous, Eucalyptus leaves are also fibrous and low in nutrition. To deal with this, koalas possess a very slow metabolic rate which allows them to keep food in their digestive system longer, thus maximising the amount of energy they can extract from it. At the same time, their slow metabolic rate reduces their energy requirements. Koalas will sleep for up to 18 hours per day in order to conserve energy.[3]

Those Pans Must be Made of Gold

I went to a Lifetime Cookware party. If you haven't heard of them, you go and they cook you supper. We had salmon, steak, chicken breast, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and pineapple upside down cake. Very delicious. Then today, the wife of the couple that did the cooking came over to try and sell me these pans. I had talked to my husband and we had agreed upon getting two pans. He couldn't be here right away so I sat and listened to her spiel.

The highest set which included everything in the line was over $13,000 but I could get it for $10,000 something. The next line under was $6000 something, and the bottom was $4000. With any of the sets you could get four free items. Two were specials and two I could choose whatever I wanted. Very nice stuff. Each line had monthly payments you could make.

I knew hubby wasn't even going to let me have the bottom line for $4000. It would have been around $200 a month for 2 years. When we went to discuss it, he said "Either you can spend $4000 on pans, or you can take that money and we can finish the porch you've wanted and do the patio in the back yard. You decide."

I went back upstairs and told her I would take the electric skillet only. Which, by the way, was over $700. When I told her this, she looked at me and asked me what was going to change with my money between now and the time I had a party. I told her nothing, unless my husband just up and changed his mind. I told her what he said about the porch, and told her what my choice was. She looked at me and told me I would get nothing from my porch, but the pans would give me better health and pay for themselves, blah blah blah. I was floored. She definitely wasn't happy with me.

I had to have three parties to get cookware. The lady whose house she went to after mine is widowed and she has a very small income. There is no way she could afford anything at all. I almost felt like I should call her and warn her about the price.

I know these people are selling this stuff, but they really shouldn't act like the world is ending if you refuse to buy everything. Goodness, I just spent $800 on an electric skillet for crying out loud. Who in their right mind would do that? I have no idea, but I just did.

Well, I called the lady that had the party I went to, and asked her if she got anything if I had a party and she said no. I also told her I can buy the same pan on ebay for $150 so she is going to look there also. Hee Hee.

So, I called the sales lady back and told her I wanted to cancel my order and also the parties. I told her about ebay and of course she told me a pan from ebay will not have any warranty. I don't care. I also told her that I wanted to cancel my parties because I couldn't in good conscience let her go into other peoples’ homes and try to get them to buy these pans. She asked if I felt pressured, and I told her what she said about my porch. For some reason, after that the line went dead...

I feel so much better now. It feels like a load has been lifted off of me. And every time I go out and sit on my porch, I will totally enjoy myself without the guilt.

K.K., Illinois

Wow. I loved reading your post about the Pans made of Gold. I cannot imagine for the life of me ANY pans that could possibly be worth that much money! Even if I were Emeril or Martha or Mario or Rachel. And, by the way - ALL of those people sell their pans and a FRACTION of the price of this company!

PAYMENTS???? on PANS???? Seriously??

Check out WIlliams and Sonoma or Sur La Table stores. They sell VERY high-end stuff and NONE of it is that expensive!

Thank you for sharing and for allowing me to comment!

The 29-year-old singer - who is married to ice Hockey player Mike Fisher - thinks people should be able to tie the knot with whoever they like rather than being told who they can marry.

She told the Independent newspaper: ''As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry.

''I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love.''

Carrie - who was raised as Baptist but now worships in a non-denomination congregation with Mike - is the latest celebrity to come out in support of same-sex marriage after Jay-Z, The Wanted, and 'Jersey Shore' pair Snooki and JWoww also voiced similar opinions.

The blonde beauty added: ''Our church is gay friendly. Above all, God wanted us to love others. It's not about setting rules, or saying, 'Everyone has to be like me'. No. We're all different. That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It's not up to me to judge anybody.''

Thanks to your calls and emails, the new Arizona Convention of States application (SCR 1016) passed the Arizona House by a vote of 31-24.

SCR 1016 must now pass the Arizona Senate, where Senate President Andy Biggs has thus far refused to bring our Article V Convention of States application to a vote.

This is clearly wrong. Biggs’s approach only mimics the tactics of the ruling elite in Washington—when they cannot win on merit, they resort to parliamentary procedure to silence the voice of the people.

Please phone Senator Biggs immediately and leave the following message:

“Please allow the Arizona Senate to vote on SCR 1016. Future generations will note whether we seize the moment and turn back federal tyranny or shrink back, unwilling to fight for our liberty. Allow SCR 1016 to be voted on in the Arizona Senate.”

Phone Number: (602) 926-4371

We need 1000 calls to Senator Biggs TODAY. Phone your friends and family, and be a part of history!

  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter (weight of 9 oz)
  • 2 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (9 ounces) – fluffed up before measuring, don’t scoop or pack**
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks
  • Ganache:
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks (9 oz)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9 inch metal pan with foil and spray bottom with cooking spray or rub with butter.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. When light and fluffy, add peanut butter and beat until incorporated. Beat in eggs, the egg yolk and vanilla. By hand, stir in the flour and chocolate chips. Spread batter in pan, patting it down flat, and bake on center rack for 35-40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool completely.
  3. Make the ganache. **Put the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. In a saucepan or in a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat the cream until starts to boil. Pour the cream over the chips and let stand for a minute. Stir well to melt chips; stir in the butter. Spread on cooled brownies and let set.
  4. Makes 36 bars
For best results, weigh the flour. If you measure by volume, pour the flour in a bowl and stir it so that it is fluffy and not at all packed. Too much flour contributes to dryness.

Copts Demands

Others | 5 June 2011
Copts (Christians of Egypt) are not asking for special treatment to compensate for centuries of discrimination and persecution. They are only asking for equality. They don’t want anything more, and they will not settle for anything less. It is hard to believe that , at the turn of the 21st century,equality to Copts remains a luxury they still dream of. This at a time when the rest of the civilized world considers equality a birth right to be taken for granted. .. More

Potent King Sub bats find winning solution

The game between King Sub and Outdoor Solutions had less to do with the National Division lead in the Cortland Men’s Slow Pitch Softball League standings, but it was certainly the most exciting game Tuesday.
Tony Bates’ three-run homer in the top of the fourth inning pulled King Sub to within 11-9 and his key two-run double during a seven-run fifth inning put his team in the lead for keeps during a 17-15 victory.
In other National Division contests, Hess clubbed Friends 27-3 in five innings, Friends routed CCRP 23-7 in five innings and Meldrim Paint edged The Tavern 7-6.
In American Division action, Grand Rental Station/Gable Inn routed Stone Lounge/Willcox Tires 34-8 in five innings and Red Jug Pub 22-7 in six innings during a split doubleheader, Red Dragon downed Gator’s Tavern 12-9 and Central City Bar & Grill ripped Red Dragon 17-3.
King Sub 17, Outdoor Solutions 15: Outdoor Solutions led 6-4 after one inning and 10-5 by the time the second inning concluded. A single run in the bottom of the third put the Outdoor crew on top 11-5 before the comeback began.
After Bates’ homer closed the gap to two runs, King Sub used its seven run outburst to take a 16-11 advantage. The Solution countered with two more runs in the sixth , but an insurance run in the top of the seventh helped King Sub enjoy a 17-13 cushion. Outdoor Solution plated two runs in the bottom of the inning, but the rally ended there.
Brad Sturdavent led King Sub by going 5-for-5 while Dan Warner and Bob Stewart each went 3-for-4.
Outdoor Solutions hung tough has Dave Forehand, Chris Maxfield and Adam Coombs each went 3-for-4. Forehand had two doubles and three RBIs. Maxfield hit a home run and drove in two runs.
Hess 27, Friends 3, 5 inns.: Hess took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning and never trailed. The game ended in the fifth inning with the help of a 10-run burst by the winners.
John Pensyl paced the Hess attack by going 5-for-5 with two doubles and one triple. Matt De Graw (double) and Jayme Evans helped out with their 4-for-4 efforts while Steve Furlong (home run), A.J. Rouse and Tony Keegan each went 3-for-4. Richie Price and Nick Hoffmann added 3-for-5 bats.
Tony Ortiz was 1-for-2 for Friends.
Friends 23, CCRP 7: Friends exploded for 10 first-inning runs and rolled to an easy mercy rule win. Justin Baker was 4-for-4 with six RBIs to lead the winning attack. Tony Ortiz, Ryan Eddy and Jamie Sutton each added 4-for-4 efforts.
Joey Marks was the top CCRP batter. Marks went 3-for-3 with Fred St. John going 2-for-3.
Meldrim Paint 7, The Tavern 6: Meldrim Paint built a 6-1 cushion over the first three innings, but it was the painters final run in the bottom of the sixth that provided the winning margin.
Chris Carpenter was 2-for-3 with a double to pace the Meldrim offense. Jason Seamons and Jameson Lawton added their own 2-for-3 efforts.
Jeremy Gratton led all batters by swinging a 3-for-3 stick while Tavern teammate Matt Bush was 3-for-4 with a triple. Chris Bush and J. Gray added 2-for-3 efforts.
Grand Rental/Gable Inn 34, Stone Lounge/Willcox 8, 5 inns.: Brian Bowman was a perfect 6-for-6 at the plate with a double and triple to power Grand Rental Station/Gable Inn to a dominating win. Casey Crandall followed with a 5-for-6 game with one home run. Brian Taylor hit for the cycle while going 4-for-6 as he had a single, double, triple and home run. Dan Harris (two triples), Jamie Buck (triple, home run) and Anthony Pitts also had four hits each for Grand Rental.
Bob Craig was the leading Stone Lounge/Willcox Tires bat. Craig was 3-for-3 with a triple. Jeremy Deversee (double), Scott Fuller (double) and George Young (home run) were each 2-for-3.
Grand Rental/Gable Inn 22, Red Jug Pub 7, 6 inns.: Nearly half of the Grand Rental offense consisted of extra-base hits as the winners broke a 1-1 tie with five runs in the bottom of the third inning and pulled away.
Dan Harris, Brian Bowman, Casey Crandall and Chuck Pitts each went 4-for-5 to lead Grand Rental/Gable Inn. Harris had three doubles and a home run, Crandall two doubles and a home run with Bowman belting a double and triple. Anthony Pitts and Cody Potter chipped in with 3-for-4 efforts that each included one double.
Nate Leonard was 3-for-3 with two runs scored. Mike Van Dee added a 2-for-3 bat to the Red Jug Pub offense.
Red Dragon 12, Gator’s Tavern 9: With three runs in the top of the seventh inning, Red Dragon broke a 9-9 tie and recorded the win. Dick Arnold set the pace for Red Dragon by going 4-for-4 with two doubles. Mark Coon helped his own cause by adding his own 4-for-4 appearance at the plate. Mike Milligan showed a 3-for-4 effort and Chris Beattie was 2-for-3 with a double and triple for the Dragons.
Tom Cullip was best for Gator’s going 3-for-3 with a double. Jon Galeotti added his 2-for-3 bat with Dave Hubbard, Billy Decker and Andy Ayers each going 2-for-4.
Central City Bar & Grill 17, Red Dragon 3: Central City took a double digit lead in the bottom of the second innings thanks to a nine-run explosion.
Jesse Brady led the Central City assault as he was 3-for-3 with two triples and five RBIs. Cory Langtry and Josh Bogden added 3-for-4 efforts with Fred Casterline going 2-for-4 with a double, triple and three RBIs.
Dan Edwards and Brett Wright each went 2-for-3 for Red Dragon.

    Excellent accommodation! Very comfortable and well kitted out. The kitchen had all you could even need to cater for a large group with a big enough dinner room to enjoy eating together The beds were very comfortable in fact so much we are going to order the same bed! The hot tub and Sauna were a real luxury and used every day. The cottage is situated in beautiful surroundings with plenty to do. Definitely the best place we've stayed in!

    It would be hard to overstate the care that has gone into making this cottage one of the best we have ever stayed in; the owners have thought about pretty much every need their guests might have. The cottage itself is conveniently situated away from the main road in Strathyre, with access to Forestry Commission land starting literally at the end of the drive. If you don't fancy climbing up through the forest, you can take the footpath down towards the Loch, stopping off at the Broch cafe on the way. For a longer walk one can head towards Balquidder. The village hosts a small shop/post-office, an ice-cream parlour, bike hire and an Inn serving evening meals. More comprehensive facilities can be found in Callandar, around a 20 minute drive away. Online supermarkets will deliver to the cottage. Just a couple of observations: The tumble-drier is a condenser type, which means the collection tank will need emptying regularly. The games room better suited to children than adults. To sum up, this cottage and its location are absolutely top class.

    This was a lovely holiday home. My only gripe was something of a personal preference. I like a firm bed with light bed clothing. The mattress was soft and spongy and I felt I was sleeping in a marshmallow. I know this is a personal preference, so I can't really fault the house. It is extremely well equipped and clean - better than my own house! We had a lovely holiday despite the weather and made full use of all the board games, books, the games room, sauna and hot tub!

    lovely cottage with fine walks close at hand. Ive never stayed anywhere that caters for the "rainy days" more as well as kitchen and dining room having everything and anything you could possible need. Only thing missing is a clothes airer for laundry room. Kids loved the games room and hot tub and owners couldnt be more helpful. We even enjoyed Monopoly by candlelight during a power cut due to the electric thunderstorm and there were plenty candles on hand . Even the family pets enjoyed the large enclosed garden.

    A fantastic place to stay we had two couples and 2 children with 2 dogs and we all enjoyed the garden and walks on the doorstep .The owners where great .There is plenty space in the house and even more in garden .The entrance drive is on a slope but once used to it is easy enough to park 3 cars.You will enjoy this location especially the local birds and squirrels visiting the garden every day my dog did not know what to make of the squirrels as never seen one before .There is a summer room which overlooks back garden and spent night in there and watched sunset lovely.The kitchen has everything and more you will need and good quality pans .You can hire bikes in the vilage and cycle to Callander on a flat path .There is a cafe in a park area that sells great coffee and snacks recommended and dog friendly . We have stayed in cottages and lodges in scotland for the past 10 years and would say this has been the best so far .

    We had a very good week in the cottage, the weather was even reasonable for us. It is very homely, well equipped and comfortable, the log burner is a nice feature for the chilly nights. The hot tub is a nice touch as is the conservatory and the games room, something for everyone! There are lots of good walks and cycle paths and the river is good for the dog having a swim in, he wasn't very sure about the shoogely bridge tho! The family would consider returning next year.

+ DIY home inspiration: antlers and deadheads

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
I know that my site is primarily a sewing and fashion related site, but for today (and hopefully a few odd days here and there) I’m going to make an exception because I’m re-opening up my antler shop! I’m posting a few inspirational photos on how to decorate your house with pretty deer and elk antlers and dead heads – and for a particular set of you out there…these will spark some DIY ideas! Because of the antler’s shape and tines (spikes), you have a vast amount of DIY possibilities – whether it is a decorative piece or holder of some kind (jewelry, coaster, coat, washi tape like the images above) for example.  Whatever it may be….you can’t go wrong with these beautiful pieces in your home.

  1. Can’t wait to see your shop! I loveee antlers as home decor, especially in non-hunting lodge kind of spaces, where they’re a little more unexpected. There’s this one guy on etsy that makes faux taxidermy pieces and there’s a seafoam dear with glitter antlers that I love and I’ve been obsessed ever since…so I’m gonna go look at your shop, I’m sure I’ll love it! xx

    Allie @ callmesassafras.wordpress.com

  2. I was so not into the whole antler-decor thing at first–I think my aversion came from living in an area of the country where taxidermy=redneck. Ha! I love them now, though, after seeing the modern twist on them. Crisp white walls + vintage elements are SO much better than camo.

  3. sorry for speaking out but why would you want a dead animal’s skull in your home? I just don’t get it…

    • That’s totally fine! I hated it at first…my husband woukd bring them home and I would shove them in the garage completely embarrassed. But now it has become a huge part of my life because my husband loves to find antlers and deadheads….so naturally I had to embrace his love and after a while I came to appreciate it too and fell in love. But of course this is a trend and it will fade (not for my husband of course).

  4. Deb MaaMaa says:

    I love it!! I also love your green dresser/nightstand. If I try to put hem in our home my non-hunter husband thinks I’m ripping on him : 0

  5. Lacey Parr says:

    Liz, we love the deadhead we bought from you earlier this year! It is now gracing our mantel. I agree with some of the other commenters, antlers and the like used to mean redneck to me! But now I just love the clean lines and natural beauty of them! I’ll have to check out your shop for a smaller one for our bedroom.

  6. Where can I find your shop? I’m quite interested in purchasing antlers for my husband!!

  7. Hi there! I just want to offer you a huge thumbs up for your excellent info you have got here on this post. I’ll be coming back to your website for more soon.

Mark Venus thought that his side merited their draw at the Globe Arena but has no doubt that the Ricoh return will equally tough.

“I think it was probably a fair result,” said the interim manager. “We’ve got a replay which won’t be easy as anybody who was here can see.

"We’re still in the cup but we’ve got to push on.

“In the first half we never really threatened their goal and they had a couple of chances where they probably should have scored.

“Second half we played with a bit more purpose and intensity, created a lot more and deserved to score – but then maybe they could have scored again.

“We have to play the way we want to play and I didn’t think we did that in the first half – we didn’t play forward enough, didn’t play with enough purpose and we certainly didn’t threaten enough.

“I know where we are as a football squad and we’ve just got to keep working hard for each other.”

Coventry City's manager Mark Venus

Venus blooded Academy product Callum Maycock and Jack McBean, the on-loan LA Galaxy striker who has been scoring for fun for the development team.

“Jack did all right but he’s a striker and he needs service,” said Venus.

“I think he can do better but he more than justified his place.

“Callum got involved because I thought we were a bit loose in midfield and I just wanted to tighten it up.

"He went on and did fine.”

Jamie Sterry, who got a late go-ahead from parent club Newcastle to play in the game, snapped up City’s equaliser and Venus said: “Jamie had his hands full today – the winger was a handful but he dealt with that really well and then scored a great goal for us.

“One of the pleasing things is that we’re scoring goals from different players, different positions which is a bonus.”

Rays 7, Yankees 4: Sean Rodriguez hit a two-run homer and Jeff Keppinger drove in a pair as host Tampa Bay continued its Tropicana Field dominance of New York.

B.J. Upton recorded two hits and scored a pair of runs and Desmond Jennings scored twice for the Rays, who have taken nine straight from the Yankees at home.

James Shields (8-5) struggled through seven innings but fought hard enough to earn the win, surrendering four runs and 10 hits while striking out five and not walking a batter. The right-hander got some help from his defense with a double play and a pair of outfield assists.

New York starter Ivan Nova (9-3) had a string of 12 straight winning decisions on the road come to an end. The 25-year old was reached for six runs - three earned - and seven hits in six innings.

Nova got little help from his defense as the Yankees squandered a 3-0 lead. Tampa Bay drew even in the third, scoring three straight runs with two outs.

It looked as though Nova would escape the inning unscathed but catcher Russell Martin dropped a ball at the plate with two outs, allowing Elliot Johnson to score.

Keppinger followed with a two-run single.

Eric Chavez gave New York a 4-3 edge with an RBI single in the fourth but the Rays came right back in the bottom of the frame as Rodriguez belted his sixth homer for a 5-4 lead.

Upton and Jennings completed a double steal in the seventh, with Jennings taking home as Martin’s throw to second sailed into center field.

Honorary Volunteer 2013: Starla Durham

Honorary Volunteer 2013 Starla Durham

There are some people who just make our world a better place. Starla Durham is one of them. She always is doing something for others and has been involved with the 4-H program and assisting us with the fair for more than 20 years.

Starla is not a native, but married into a pioneer family that homesteaded here in 1906. She is originally from Kansas but has been in Craig since l978. She is married to Raymond Durham and is the mother of five children: Sean, Rae Anne, Stephanie, Zachary and Ryan. They all live on the family ranch south of Hamilton. Starla did not grow up with a 4-H background, but was fortunate to be able to stay at home while raising her family, which allowed her to be involved in whatever the kids were involved in, and 4-H and the county fair were a couple of those things.

She always has been active with the 4-H program, church and home education. As soon as her kids started in 4-H and the county fair, she became involved and still is to this day. Sean, Rae Anne and Stephanie all were very active in the Hamilton Busy Beavers 4-H Club, serving as officers and junior leaders. I’m sure the younger ones will follow in their footsteps.

Starla began as a leader for her own children in individual 4-H projects — foods, clothing, cake decorating and International Intrigue (Global Citizenship now). That eventually led to hosting LABO students from Japan as well as IFYE students from Denmark and Norway. She helped organize and put on the Fashion Revue for many years. She was leader for the State to State Exchange Club and accompanied youth on an exchange trip to Alaska, from which she brought back fun memories of clam-digging, bear sightings and riding on the Coast Guard boat during a yacht race. She served as a shooting sports superintendent for the 4-H general projects for many years. She was recognized as a 10-year leader in 2000 and received the Outstanding Leader Award in 2001.

As her older children graduated, Starla began helping in the Pavilion with the open classes. She now is one of our Division Coordinators for the Art Department. Starla and her team run a very efficient and smooth operation. We always are confident that their department will run itself without a hitch.

Starla has been instrumental in mapping out the Pavilion and always has creative ways to enhance the open classes. We appreciate her insight and vision for new ideas. Starla is very organized and always has a practical solution to any question that might arise. She is a role model for new superintendents.

These accomplishments illustrate her committed dedication to the 4-H program and the Moffat County Fair. The Moffat County Fair Board is extremely pleased to honor Starla as one of the 2013 Honorary Volunteers. Starla, we thank you for all you do and have done. We laud your accomplishments, your dedication and your willingness to serve! We can’t thank you enough!

The RED Wrap

Fed funds for stormproofing

Some $950 million in federal government money will be allocated to six projects designed to protect areas in New York and New Jersey from the next Superstorm Sandy.

The federal government plans to spend close to $1 billion on six projects designed to protect New York and New Jersey from the next major superstorm. The money will go toward building earthen levees, a system of water pumps and submerged barriers that will double as marine habitat, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Among the ideas that will be getting some cash involve storm-proofing portions of Manhattan and Staten Island. Some $920 million will go to projects in New York and New Jersey, with $335 million of those funds being used to start the first phase of the construction of a protective barrier on Manhattan's east side. Another project in Staten Island will receive $60 million to create partly submerged barriers known as breakwaters off the south shore of the borough to dampen the impact of storms while promoting habitat for marine life.

The selected projects will still need to seek additional private and public funding to make the plans come to fruition.

WSS: Sofuoglu: I am more comfortable now

Kenan Sofuoglu says he is feeling 'more comfortable' with his Ten Kate Honda bike as he looks to make a last ditch attempt to reignite his fading World Supersport title hopes.

The Turk emerged as the eventual front runner at the end of the two-day test at Imola, Sofuoglu overturning Cal Crutchlow's substantial advantage leading into the last of four sessions to emerge on top by two tenths of a second.

Using the test as a chance to extract a more consistent pace from the bike that has only won two races this season, Sofuoglu says he is beginning to feel more confident on the machine.

“I am very happy to be back here and to be back on top. We have got through a lot of work these two days and it has been good to work with the new suspension without having to worry about putting in a fast lap for qualifying.

“Everything has worked really well and now I am much more comfortable with the new equipment we have. I am looking forward to next week's race in Brno where I am sure that Crutchlow and Laverty will be strong again. But we can start from a stronger position, I hope, and look for a good result.”

Sofuoglu is currently third in the standings, albeit 64 points adrift of Cal Crutchlow with five rounds remaining and a maximum 100 points still up for grabs.

JOB · Chapter 22

22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?
22:4 Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?
22:5 Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?
22:6 For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
22:9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
22:10 Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;
22:11 Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.
22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
22:13 And you says, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.
22:15 Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:
22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
22:21 Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto you.
22:22 Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
22:23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.
22:24 Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be your defence, and you shall have plenty of silver.
22:26 For then shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face unto God.
22:27 You shall make your prayer unto him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.
22:28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you: and the light shall shine upon your ways.
22:29 When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of your hands.

will remember thee-always

by loise wanjohi

just when i raise my hopes to see
you disappeared like a dust
just when i looked forward to see
you've turned a thing on the past
my hopes are gone
my waits are done all hopes and faith is gone

why did u leave without goodbye
why aren't you here to see me cry
i never wished for you to fly
in the sense would have said goodbye
you've left us with tears and fears
thinking tears and bears would turn us to tears

it was hard for thee
its hard for me
but worst it is hard for them
your mom, your dad and she
we loved you we cherished you
we enjoyed being with you

with you around i had a friend
a very very great friend
it was never a trend
to see you bend
but you always was my friend

you gave us warmth which we carry forth
for you are a friend whose a million worth
your memory liveth
in our mid-eth
we remember thee
and always will

we here to say goodbye
we ready to let you fly
coz of love thats why we cry
and to God we say thanks
coz he gave us the chance
to know you that long
we love you Benny.

Clever HTML5 site makes some noise

This site for the Lowdi Bluetooth speaker uses HTML5 to ensure accessibility on all manner of devices.

The Lowdi is a small, loud, and stylish speaker that connects to your phone, tablet or other device via Bluetooth. It has a stylish website to go with it, built by Momkai, a digital creative agency based in Amsterdam. Momkai used to specialise in Flash websites but has made the natural move to HTML5 only. Mark Hinch, senior developer at Momkai, explains that this is "so that the site would be as accessible as possible by as many people as possible on as many devices as possible".

The Lowdi site itself is simple enough: a one-pager with smooth scrolling, which Hinch describes as "a fairly straightforward user experience". Throughout the site, no HTML5-specific features were used for the end user’s specific benefit.

That said, the use of HTML5 semantic tags in the site - which Finch finds "hugely beneficial from a structural point of view (both for code management and standardisation)" - gives it more potential for being future-accessible for end users.

The new HTML5 data-* attributes were also used "to simplify our JavaScript layer’s access to inline variables, allowing our server-side logic to render out HTML pages that contain data that is more easily accessible by the JavaScript layer", says Hinch.

Find the songs you want instantly, create unlimited play lists and fill your home with high-quality digital sound.

Credit Card Applications » News » Other » Card Firms, Retailers, Battle over Interchange Fees

Card Firms, Retailers, Battle over Interchange Fees

October 01, 2009
Add to Favorites:

The card industry and the merchants' disagreement over credit card interchange fees has escalated into a full-grown public relations war as card companies and large retailers vie for public support. Analysts familiar with the disagreement say that both sides have now resorted to TV ads, newspaper ads, and even internet campaigns to convince the public to side with them.

The source of the bitter arguments, experts say is the presence of interchange fees that card issuers impose on retailers and merchants whenever customers use plastic to pay. A certain percentage of the total purchase is charged to the retailers in return for using the electronic payment systems of the card firms. Merchants argue that with more and more Americans using credit cards to pay, they can stand to lose a substantial portion of their profit margins. When this happens, they point out, they have no choice but to pass on these charges to their customers.

Representatives from card companies say that this particular policy would further add to the problems that cash-strapped American consumers are already encountering. Both sides accuse each other of being insensitive and oblivious to the plight of consumers struggling to pay off debts and keep their jobs. Experts say that retailers have even resorted to petition drives and signature campaigns to gain the support of the public.

Major card companies argue that merchants are refusing to shoulder the costs of using electronic payment systems. Credit card experts point out that the prevailing sentiment among industry players is that retailers are unwilling to absorb the fees associated with using their electronic payment systems. Merchants, for their part, say that interchange fees come only second to labor when it comes to expenses. Unlike labor, they argue, the fees are often non-negotiable.

Analysts say that Congress has stepped in with three separate bills that can help resolve the conflict. The first bill, sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr., would give retailers the freedom to negotiate interchange fees through collective bargaining agreements. The second bill, introduced by Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois is similar to the one authored by Conyers. However, the last bill, prepared by Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont, would give merchants the freedom to set minimum and maximum credit card payments.

Representatives from the card issuers explain that retailers do in fact, have the right to negotiate the interchange fees. They point out, however, that most merchants choose non-negotiable fees instead.

    With the Virgin / Barclaycard signature offer, there seems to be some consumer deception or maybe even outright fraud goin on.   I decided to jump on this offer..  read all the info on it..  was approved for their platinum card, paid the fee, then was only awarded 10,000 points instead of the advertised 20,000.   When i inquired about the less than advertised bonus points, Barclaycard claims only Signiture Visa cardmembers get the 20,000..  as a platinum cardholder, you don't qualify for that level of bonus, so you get 10k instead.   Well, in their current ongoing promotions, it states plain as day that....    Applicants approved for the Visa Signature or Platinum Card with $49 annual fee will receive 20,000 Bonus Points awarded to your Virgin America Rewards Account at the close of the first billing statement in which you make your first purchase or balance transfer (that is not returned or rescinded) and have paid the Annual Fee on the account (and such fee is not rescinded). They don't mention anything about a separate program for platinum cardholders..  However, trying to get someone to resolve this issue with either Virgin or Barclaycard seems to be rather impossible.. Seems to me they're simply drawing people in with the fraudulent offer, then simply saying, oh, we're sorry you don't qualify..  but thanks for signing up for our garbage credit card with insane fees..
  • CreditLandCom
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We have reviewed this offer and you are correct, nowhere it is mentioned that 20,000 Bonus can become a 10,000 Bonus all of a sudden... We will mention this in our review of this card so others can make an informed decision. Another way to get Virgin miles is to get an American Express charge card: The Business Gold Rewards Card® now offers 50,000 Miles, though you do have to spend $5,000 in the first three months of card membership to get it. It also has $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $175. Premier Rewards Gold Card now offers 25,000 Miles, though you do have to spend $2,000 during your first three months of Card membership. It also has annual fee of $0 for the first year, then $175. While we do not know If any of these offers make sense to you, we are at least sure that you will get advertised bonus in full if you decide to get them... Conversion rates for Virgin America are: 100 Elevate Points = 200 Membership Rewards® Points All the best.

     would very much like to start a new credit history  by making payments on time I would tohave a credit card that is NOT PREPAYID! I don't need a card with a high limit just something to start a new credit history. Thank You Deborah Ellsworth
  • Deborah Ellsworth
    I would very much like to start a new credit line to get back on track. I DO NOT WANT A PREPAID CARD!! This new credit card if I am approved does not have to hace a high limit just something for me to start over again and prove myself ThankYou. D Ellsworth

    there is a huge problem with the RFIP chip: it is easily compromised. There are already 'readers' in the form of what looks like a cellphone in a case, that scans all the info in the chip by merely walking near a person -- this 'reader' penetrates leather, cloth, spandex, etc. The only thing it will NOT penetrate is METAL. Perhaps one has seen commercials touting metal credit card cases. Here is my hint for a free fix: cut a piece of aluminum foil or use the foil that is used to keep foods fresh, like coffee.

Cricket Video - Record-Breaking Weekend In Cricket - Cricket World TV

A cricket video for Cricket World  TV about the latest cricket news looking at four batsmen - Manoj Tiwary, Kieron Pollard, David Warner and Asad Shafiq all scoring their maiden international centuries over the weekend.

It also rounds up the action from three series, which saw India beat the West Indies 4-1 in a series of ODIs, Pakistan comfortably beat Bangladesh in the opening Test in Chittagong and Australia and New Zealand tie their Test series as New Zealand won in Hobart by just seven runs.

Warner and Pollard in particular provoked most reaction for scoring their centuries after they made their names in Twenty20 cricket and many doubted whether either would have the temperament to score centuries in longer forms of the game. Warner's 123 saw him carry his bat as Australia were narrowly defeated while there were plenty of Pollard sixes - ten of them in fact - to cheer before the West Indies fell 34 runs short.

Tiwary and Shafiq are young players in whom plenty of hope and expectation has already been placed by fans in India and Pakistan and they returned some of that investment with attractive innings which unlike those fine efforts of Warner and Pollard, proved to be match-winning knocks. Tiwary's innings came in the shadow of Virender Sehwag hitting 219 in the fourth match but with Sehwag rested, none little attention was diverted.

Shafiq has been dubbed 'Mr Solid' by some and has effectively replaced no mean cricketer Mohammad Yousuf in Pakistan's middle order.

MIT Students Look To Jumpstart Bitcoin Economy
MIT Students Look To Jumpstart Bitcoin Economy
By Seth Fitzgerald / CRM Daily Like this on Facebook Tweet this Link thison Linkedin Link this on Google Plus

Two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have announced a plan that will hopefully create a small bitcoin economy around the school. Recently, Jeremy Rubin and Daniel Elitzer, who are involved with the university's bitcoin club, began to raise money for their cause. To date they've amassed more than $500,000.

With the money they've collected, Rubin and Elitzer have decided to give each of MIT's 4,500 undergraduates $100 worth of bitcoin in the fall. The pair hope that by doing this, the students will not only become interested in the cryptocurrency but that some of them will create businesses centered around it.

The Donor List

According to Rubin, just 25 donors were involved in the process and half of the $500,000 came from Alexander Morcos, an MIT alum who co-founded the New York-based high-frequency trading firm Hudson River Trading.

It took just a matter of weeks for Rubin and Elitzer to court the 25 donors and raise the money necessary to jumpstart what could end up being a bitcoin economy. If it takes off, the economy could encompass MIT and the many surrounding businesses that frequently interact with the university's students.

Getting People Involved

Bitcoin has only been around for five years, but for much of its life the cryptocurrency was only used among small groups of individuals. However, a lot has changed over the past two years, and now even large businesses like accept bitcoin as a valid form of payment.

Though some companies are getting on board with digital currencies like bitcoin, it is still rare for a business to accept it and even more so for someone to actually use bitcoin to pay for something. Bringing bitcoin into the mainstream seems to be the primary goal of Rubin and Elitzer.

By announcing their plan months ahead of time, the pair hope that businesses located near MIT will begin to implement bitcoin payment systems. Additionally, students will have a few months to design innovative applications for bitcoin.

Handing out units of a cryptocurrency for free is not as crazy as it sounds and it has happened in the past. Last year, someone known as the Bitcoin Billionare decided to give away $13,000 worth of the currency on Reddit. More recently, alternatives to bitcoin that are not worth as much have been used to "tip" people.

Whether it is the $500,000 that will be handed out at MIT or the small tips given to people on Reddit, the goal is the same. Enthusiasts in the cryptocurrency community have continued to find that if people are enticed into using bitcoin with the help of donations, more people will become interested in alternatives to fiat currency.
