| Washington D.C.'s Sore Losers: New Gun Laws | | 2008-07-15 12:05:00 | | Being extremely displeased with the ass-whooping the Supreme Court handed them, the Washington D.C. Elitists are moving forward with a "new" gun law to try and stem the tide of Legal gun ownership. Of course, they say it's only a temporary 90-day effect law.Can we get any more "schoolyard" than this? "It's our sandbox, and we'll do whatever we want in it?" Oh for heaven's sake, get over it and get moving on the next bit of itinerary. No sirree Bob. Were gonna disobey the Supreme Court 'till we're blue in the face.Okay, so let's go over what D.C. wants now.They want everyone who will posses a firearm for home defense, to keep it unloaded, in a gun safe, and either under trigger-lock or disassembled. (Most of which fails to comply with the Supreme Courts decision.) Semi-automatics and Automatic weapons will remain illegal. Fortunately, the semi-auto restriction is being challenged by the NRA.

| | Money Laundering Laws: The Practical versus the Technical | | 2008-06-16 20:02:44 | | On June 2, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court (Court) narrowed the focus of federal money laundering laws by ruling against the government in two money laundering cases. In pursuing these and most cases, law enforcement and prosecutors regularly employ a broad and practical interpretation of the money laundering laws. In its rulings, the Court adopted a narrow and technical interpretation of the money laundering laws. The question at hand is what was the intent when Congress passed money laundering legislation,...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

This hacks off critics who claim the do-gooders are aiding lawbreakers. Quoting one article, "It shows blatant contempt for the rule of law in this country and blatant contempt for local police working with federal authorities to clean up this mess," said Chris Simcox, president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.

More often than not, you probably read through quickly or barely skim the authorization form before signing it. However, HIPAA laws are important, and they are in place to protect you from identity theft, being denied care, and/or health insurance coverage.HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, enacted in 1996. HIPAA laws created a new national standard in protecting your health information. As you see different physicians or become admitted to different hospitals, your health information should follow you. HIPAA delineates the need to properly protect your health information as it flows through to these different channels.

| | Universal Laws | | 2008-05-13 21:43:45 | | Drs. Milanovich and McCune in, The Light Shall Set You Free (1998), state there are 12 Universal Laws, and 21 sub-laws, that describe ways in which cause and effect are related. The Universal Laws can also be viewed as guidelines for behaviors that will enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.The Universal Laws are all inter-related and are founded on the understanding that everything in the universe is energy, including us, and that energy moves in a circular fashion. At the microscopic level, we are a whirling mass of electrons and energy atoms spinning rapidly. In fact, everything in the world is comprised of energy and we are intimately connected with this sea of energy, this sea of whirling electrons. Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. What we think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to us to create our realities.

Here are just some of the highlights.Arizona passed a law requiring that engine fluid must include a bittering agent to keep pets and children from drinking it by accident.Indiana signed a bill that makes killing an animal in order to threaten, intimidate, coerce or terrorize a household family member a class D felony, punishable by up to 3 years in prison and a fine.Iowa passed a law prohibiting 'internet hunting.' Apparently, hunters were setting up web cameras to spot their targets from a distant location. One click on the computer and they could shoot their target.Many states also enacted legislation that would require disaster plans for evacuating, transporting and sheltering service animals and household pets.On the federal level, the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act was signed into law.

Fellow SB Nation blogger and Seahawks Fan John Morgan has a fantastic interview over at Field Gulls with Notre Dame Defensive Tackle Trevor Laws.
As you all know, I've got a serious "draft crush" for Laws, I would not bat an eye if the Jaguars selected him at 26. I think he's has a better motor than Kentwan Balmer, and I think he'd be a great fit on our defense.
Anyhow, the interview is very well done. An excerpt

reports? Any pregame rituals or habits?

a pretty similar routine. Eat big the night before the game. Watch

| | Age of Consent Laws and Disney/ABC | | 2008-03-25 19:14:39 | | On March 14, 2008, ABC's 20/20, a Disney owned company, aired a show challenging age of consent laws. To the dismay and shock of child advocates and Anti-pedophile bloggers and writers (a term coined for those who expose online sex offenders, predators and pedophiles), it was disproportionately favorable to the plight of sex offenders. The show featured a segment called "Vigilante Justice" in which they interviewed a child advocate who goes by the name "Petra Luna". The child advocate was clearly shown to be the antagonist as opposed to the sex offender(s), who were presented as the protagonists and victims.Credible child advocates (as opposed to registered sex offenders claiming to be child advocates, whose offenses range from molesting preschoolers to teenagers) are gravely disappointed in the position ABC's 20/20 decided to take. Even more disappointing is the fact that ABC is owned by Disney.

I say different, as seen by the Appalachian incident, we could use BETTER laws, NOT more laws.Perhaps though, there are situations were BOTH can be had together. And some students not happy with waiting for something to be done, are stepping up to the plate to get something done, as can be seen HERE.But during a "BS" session on my lunch break last night, something interesting was brought up. And that is the factor of varying cultures in America. As we've been seeing lately on news story after news story, we are no longer a "melting pot of cultures."

| | | | Laws of Branding and Logo Design | | 2008-01-17 12:54:00 | | I saw this information and immediately fell in love...Why are these among the best, most recognizable logos in the world? Put simply: They can be burned on to the butt of a cow.While "branding" has come to mean a large-scale marketing philosophy, let's not forget where the word "brand" comes from. One of the things that makes these logos so powerful is that they are simple without being simplistic; even tiny and without color, they are easy to identify.In the larger sense, branding is an attempt to garner an emotional response to one's products and/or services. This may include specific color schemes, design styles, advertising focus, research and development, even hiring practices. The success of a company is determined by how well they empathize and interact with their market, which is an extremely complex and long-term process. I just want to get that out of the way because this is not an article about branding in the larger sense. This is an article about the logo.It would be hard to argue that a company's success is determined by how well their logo is designed, that simply isn't the case. It is the case, however, that quite nearly every successful company has a well designed and often iconic logo.*Humble BeginningsLogo-centric branding is actually an extremely new phenomenon. Some of our most beloved logos were introduced years after the companies were founded. The Rolex Watch Co. was in business for more than a decade before they registered the now-famous crown. Almost 30 years after he started making shoes, Adi Dassler added 3 stripes to the design, but it took another 22years for adidas to give us the Trefoil.

| | IN LAWS | | 2008-01-14 09:11:26 | | Q:I am married and have two daughters. My husband and I have this running argument about my family, especially when money is involved. Right now, my parents live with us because my mother takes care of my two kids since my husband and I both work. My dad just lost his job. I wanted to give my parents money during the Christmas season but my husband did not want me to do it. I told him a little amount would not do us harm and, at the same time, it was my pakunswelo to them. I do not know why my husband treats my parents that way. I know it has something to do with money and it is sad that it is still etched in his mind all this time. How will I tell him to respect my parents for my sake and my kids? SAD MOMA:What is it about forgiveness that turns some people’s hearts into stone? Does he ever go to church on Sunday or whatever day of the week it is when he attends a house of prayer? If he does, how can he go on bended knees and ask for forgiveness when the very thought is alien to him? Let us say, for argument’s sake, that your parents squandered thousands of his hard-earned money and still have not paid. Is that reason enough to treat them badly, even irreverently all this time? Money can be earned, borrowed or stolen, and it will still be only money. But good manners is something else. He should be angry at them if he sees them living off his money and spending obscenely like there is no tomorrow. But if they are still at your mercy, in your house, then, something somewhere must have gotten basically wrong. Your facts are so sketchy, but I am going out on a limb here. Your parents may have borrowed your husband’s money to start a business of their own, or acted as conduit for some other people—all of which must have turned out badly. Such things happen. But to remain angry all this time is a waste of energy and emotion. You are right in your wish that he treats them a bit nicer for you and your kids’ sake. He should realize that it is only vegetables he s | | By: What I Think... | | |
| | My Cougar Huntin' In-Laws | | 2008-01-08 22:31:00 | | What follows is an unbelievable story. Simply unbelievable. And yet, I tell you anyway because I'm into futility.Sunday night my father in law came home to his mountain Utah ranch and heard loud banging and crashing noises in his garage. He peeked inside and saw a full grown cougar thrashing around. He slammed the garage door, and ran inside to call all his sons to come out and see the cat. In no time, my brothers in law and assorted uncles and cousins were there with their guns and video cameras.After they had all gotten looks at him through the cracked door, they raised the main garage door to let him out. The cougar didn't budge. So they shined headlights in at him, started shouting and throwing things at him. Nothin' doing. At this point, grandpa had the idea to run inside the garage where the cougar was, get in the cab of an old truck and turn on the engine, filling the garage with exhaust fumes. Eventually the cougar had the good sense to get out before they both died.No, they didn't bother to call animal control. Don't interrupt again. Trust me, it gets better.After the cougar was out of the garage, the discovered one of the family's best loved cats dead in the garage, its side ripped open. Unfortunately, the young grandkids were there to see it and were shattered.* We are guessing that two more cats were in the garage and were eaten as well.The next morning, my brother in law went down to feed the horses at the barn. He found cougar tracks leading straight into the barn. Then he saw the dead horse. From the looks of it, its halter had got stuck on a bolt on a fence post and the horse had either strangled or broken its neck trying to escape. There were marks on its body indicating a cougar attack. It was a terrible, freakish way to die. The family took this death very personally as the horse, Fancy had become like a family member after 23 years of good riding. Revenge came into play.Today, there were fresh cougar tracks around the sandbox outsid | | By: Hollywood Flakes: Get 'em While They're Hot | | |

Many property developments Ibiza wide have been halted including the much protested Benirras development. Our exclusive new luxury development Sa Olivera del Molino in Puig den Valls Ibiza is not affected.One of our colleagues was at the critical meetings at the town halls and we will be posting a full report of the latest events and implications for property & property development in Ibiza as we see it on our return from the Christmas break. There was also a "scandal" reported in various sources last week whereby planning permissions were allegedly hurried up to beat the implementation of the new laws. Quoted from the Ibiza Sun below:"The scandal broke on Monday of last week, when it was revealed that the Town Hall of San Juan had rushed through permission for the building of two family houses in the, now protected, Benirras area. It was discovered the Town Hall had called two special meetings in the lead up to the legislation coming into affect. The paperwork granting permission to both of the projects was afforded in just 24 hours, something which was described as "out of the ordinary" by Consell officials. It normally takes several months for permission to be granted, as technicians from the Town Hall usually have to visit the proposed site, especially in sensitive areas such as Benirras. During November the Town Hall issued a total of six licenses, all of which will now be suspended due to the new legislation.While discussions continued between the PSOE-run Consell and the PP-run Town Hall, a digger appeared in the Benirras area and started to work clearing a substantial part of forested land. However after just 24 hours Consell officials were sent to the site and work was stopped. They then warned the Town Hall, run by the mayor Antonio Mari Mari, that it was his obligation to stop any work being carried out within the protect | | By: Ouwehand & Wall Property Ibiza | | |

| | Schwarzenegger Appeals Game Laws, ESA Requesting Compensation from State | | 2007-09-07 21:51:55 | | Governor Schwarzengger of California has put his administration forth as yet another crusader in the battle to ’save our children’ from the evils of ‘violent videogames’.He made a statement that mentioned the “many studies” that have shown a link between violent video games and violent behavior. In his favor however he isn’t proposing any sort of censorship at all, simply a stricter control on sales in order to prevent these games from being sold to minors. This follows on the coattails of a bill penned by California State Senator Leland Lee (yes, the very same) which was struck down as unconstitutional after Schwarzenegger had already signed it. The bill would have made selling mature-rated games to minors a criminal offense. The Entertainment Software Association is claiming that the state owes them $320,000 in legal fees resulting from the legal battle on the grounds that industry leaders informed the politicians behind this bill that it was unconstitutional.Source: Di | | By: Online Games | | |

| | A lot of Call Center Managers - Poor In Labor Laws | | 2007-08-24 05:24:48 | | How many times have I heard these stories in the call center business: " I was not given due process..." or " My boss harassed me till I quit..." or " They wanted me out for no reason..." or " That's against Philippine labor laws..."? Probably more than I should... I mean call centers are supposed to be big on their processes. It's a leverage they use to get more business. It's their selling point to attract more people to join their company. It's supposed to be one of the things they include in their values... That they protect & respect the rights of their employees on all levels. Labor lawsuits should not be a common things to hear about if they only have managers who are at least trained in Philippine Labor Laws. They should have managers that are strict in following guidelines of due process which all men are entitled in this democratic society with decent protection laws for workers. One reason that account managers are at fault here is because is they try to protect the accounts interest first. Their first priority is to keep the account & keep the clients happy. The company is at fault because they don;t train their account managers on how to deal with issues like these. Most of the time, they leave it to the judgement call of the account managers. Sometimes, it's not limited to just account managers. Even the senior account mangers & site directors are not experts in labor laws.Sad fact is, in less than 2 years I have personally heard & knew about 3 cases where call center employees are terminated without due process. By whom? By their managers ofcourse... Their cases include: termination without just cause, diminution ( lessening ) of salary, termination without due process, unlawful extension of probationary contract. These are flat-out obvious reasons for a labor lawsuit... you can ask your HR manager about that. This is all because call center account managers have expert knowledge of call center management but don't a clue about when & how to terminate. I'm not talking about small time call centers here. Some of the biggest Labor law offenders are the biggest call center companies. I'd rather not name names. To top it all of one of these companies are super strict about their own business processes & yet they have been sued at least twice already for the past 2 years. I know that for a fact because I came from that call center & personally knew & spoke with their ex-employees who sued them.Here's an advice, or common sense rather... when you feel you have been "separated" without due process, consult or at least ask a lawyer what are your options. Don't go down without a fight. Remember, if you have been staying in a company for 1 or 2 years & this happens to you, that's 2 wasted years of your professional life. That's because it's not going to be nice to put that you've been fired recently or ever. If you think you got a case to fight for, go to the National Labor Relations Commission & file a case. They will set you & the company up for initial investigations, arbitration, settlement & if settlement doesn't solve your case, the next step is court hearing. It's a long arduous process usually months to get done. But if you decide to stick it out, the "rewards" are great... i have asked 3 different HR managers already from different companies, they say that the maximum amount a person can get compensated for illegal termination is 2 MILLION PESOS. One note I need to make, probationary & regular employees have the same basic rights...to due process. Bottom line, a company cannot just terminate an employee without proof & just cause. That is Justice.If you feel you are part of this growing number of people who have been victims of illegal termination, before you go troop to the NLRC, hear my advice first:1. Make sure you got documented evidence that will support your case. These usually have a strong bearing if you decide to go to court or negotiate for settlement. it has greater value if it is a legal document like a contract or an email. The best documented evidences are the ones that are signed by the company's persons in authority. Before you leave the company's premises grab a hold of all documents that may pertain to your performance, email instructions, commendations, or anything that may prove your case. Sadly. that's easier said than done. But IF you get the chance, print out everything.2. Be prepared mentally, physically and financially. Especially if you decide to take it to court. It could take at least 3 months to before a judge/arbiter can hand down a ruling.3. Don't stop working. Filing a case doesn't mean you're world should revolve around it. Or else, you'll find yourself in deep financial bind.4. Get representation. Try the OLA of UP Diliman. They assist people with labor cases. You know UP... they are hard-core when it comes to people's rights.5. Final advice, if you think you got a very strong case with signed document evidence, go all the way... Sue their asses to court. It may take a lot of personal investment like time & effort, but at least it will teach the company a lesson about handling labor issues & illegal termination.Here's the DOLE website so you can find out more about your rights:The Labor Code of the Philippines - DOLELabor Code of the Philippines -Book One by Chan RoblesCheck out my newest website: Click on the picture:

On this view, both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of science are the result of the attempt to apply these metaphysical principles to reality. There is a flexibility in the application of the principles, however, so that, in their scientific guise, they may come to be reformed over time through scientific revolutions. This approach to modern science provides a unified conception of the enterprise, explaining such of its various aspects as the principle of induction, the nature of scientific knowledge and scientific reduction, the fundamental difference between the natural and social sciences, and the role of essentialism with respect to natural kinds.

There will be no "WoW killer" in the future, too many people have spent hours on end just to give up for another game.Ironforge and Orgrimmar will be laggy to most people during peek hours.Chuck Norris lives in Barrens Chat.90% of Girls who play WoW play either a female druid or female priest.The last 10% of independents need to conform, cause we all know the healer is a dying breed, both figuratively and in pvp.Leeroy Jenkins had some chicken.Even if your volume is off, murlocs will still go "mrghrlrlrlrlglrlglrlmglrl"The Murloc + Random Movie combination will live on in WoW.Gnomes shouldn't be able to be warriors.There will be at least a couple of posts a day in the forums about OP classes, because for scissors, paper is ok, but rock is OP.Hunters are OP.

| | THE 105 UNIVERSAL LAWS | | 2007-08-01 15:19:00 | | Universal Laws105 Universal Laws(source unknown)All creation is governed by law. The principles that operate in the outer universe, discoverable by scientists, are called natural laws. But there are subtler laws that rule the hidden spiritual planes and the inner realm of consciousness. Contained within these laws (or conditions) is the true nature of matter. Knowledge of these laws has an effect upon the mental urges. Mind is the builder. Stay in full mindfulness of the application of Universal Law as related to self and to others, and know that in love all life is given, in love all things move. In giving one attains. In giving one acquires. In giving, love becomes the fulfillment of desire, guided and directed in the ways that bring the more perfect knowledge of self as related to the universal, all powerful, all guiding, all divine influence in life. Love IS life. When we go back, merge with the God Source, in some infinitesimal but profound way, we expand the Mind of God. Our God and higher self always points the best and most perfect way and it is ours to listen and choose or reject what we hear. God does not blame, but patiently tries again to show the perfect way, the loving way. All of creation pushes forth. We are ever becoming. Identity ever remains! 1. The Law of Abundance. (sometimes referred to as the Law of Opulence or Success.) By creating visualizations of abundance in our lives we draw this energy of success into our reality. Success or abundance does not only apply to money. There is success in communication, spirituality, relationships and so on. When creating the abundance of financial gain remember to be IN this world, but not OF this world. We are not the sum total of your possessions. 2. The Law of Action. No matter what we feel or know, no matter what our potential gifts or talents, only action brings them to life.

| | New York Must Reform its Laws on Power of Attorney | | 2007-06-30 14:08:00 | | As many as 5 million older adults in the United States have been victims of elder abuse and neglect. In New York alone, out of the 3.1 million older adults over 60, as many as 130,000 may be victims of mistreatment. Elder abuse takes many forms: physical battering, neglect by caregivers to provide for basic needs such as food or medicine, emotional or psychological mistreatment. One of the most insidious forms of abuse perpetrated against older adults is financial exploitation. As in other forms of abuse, financial exploitation cuts across all economic and ethnic boundaries; it affects not only the affluent but also those of limited means. It is also the fastest growing form of elder abuse. The National Elder Abuse Incidence Study in 1998 found that almost one third of elder abuse cases involve exploitation. Frail elders who are isolated and dependent on others for care or who may be experiencing confusion are especially vulnerable.

Enforce Existing Laws
Paul Morin - June 15, 2007
The United States Senate spoke loud and clear for the American people - this issue is too important to create new laws while ignoring existing laws.
The American Legion, most Americans, and the majority of legal immigrants oppose any measures that sanction or condone coming to this country in any manner other than as stipulated by existing law, whether disguised as “undocumented workers” or “guest-worker programs” or any other wordsmithing that is synonymous with amnesty.
Americans understand the meaning of “immigration,” but the adjectives “legal” and “illegal” seem to be deliberately ignored by some.
The American Legion’s official position is simple: enforcement, enforcement, and enforcement.
Assimilation into American society by legal immigrants is important to the nation’s welfare; however, the failure to properly enforce existing immigration laws divides the nati | | By: TexasFred's | | |
