grammie, I don't know if they would be considered patron saints or not, but around here off the top of my head I can think of three protestant churches that are named for saints (St. Anne, St. Timothy, and St. Francis) and I'm sure there are more I don't know about.

I just had a touch of irony. I am paying my taxes and preparing the envelopes to mail in the checks. My "Forever" stamps I am using read "Equality" and "Freedom."
Might can make an argument for "Freedom," but my swinging tax bill is *not* freeing - especially as most of it goes to stuff that is arrayed against me. "Equality," though, in a progressive tax regime, is absolutely not applicable.
Ugh. Glad it's over with.

Here's your theological info from the agnostic. Protestants* don't have saints because Protestantism isn't an intercessional faith, it's based on the direct communication between the faithful and God. Catholics have saints and priests as intermediaries to God. Of Luther's 95 theses this is arguably the most important.
*(Anglicans, Episcopalians, and other branches of the Henry VII School of Fuck You Rome may or may not count as Protestant)

So they got sued by an abortion "chain", called Whole Womens Heath (whose mission is "to provide fabulous abortion care", no shit). And in discovery the abortion mill wanted to see all the email conversations from/to the bishops concerning this offer, with (what the courts thought was) the goal of retaliating socially against anyone funding this offer.
How nasty is that? Mean and ugly, these baby killers. It's almost like their souls are rotting on the vine.

This is from Yahoo answers. I sent to wedding at a church that had these but I can find it using Bing maps.
Protestant
bodies such as the Anglicans, Lutherans, and a few others recognize
some saints common to Catholicism and Orthodoxy as being prominent Christians but have none of their own. As a sort of
lowest-common-denominator concept of what a saint is, they contend that
all believers are saints.

Yeah, usually property taxes (local taxes) are higher in states with no income tax.
So depending on your income, and where in the state you live, you might not see any savings.
When I moved to NH, by property taxes remained about the same (but I got way more house for the money) from a high tax state, but I no longer had income tax or sales tax, plus everything else from car registration to insurance to food to... you name it is cheaper.
So I'm definitely saving money.
But if you have a fairly low income in Maine (a state with a modest income tax), for example, you're probably better off staying there with the low property taxes then moving to NH.

Oklahoma to Texas, not so much. The housing prices are way out of whack (no joke, at least double), with significantly higher property taxes. So I get less house, but pay more for it! And my property taxes have gone up 70% in the 5 years I've owned my house, so that's nice.
Although, between you and me, Texas is kind of a joke. It's California Soyboy but thinks it's all John Wayne.

Speaking of which, I saw something terrifying. The Duke vs. South Carolina game - this a regular season college basketball game - has blown up in price. To get in the door, you're looking at $2,600 a seat minimum. For a college basketball game. That's more than Super Bowl.
Unreal. I have no idea what's going on, but this is clearly a "go to the game for the purpose of being seen at the game" and not a "go to the game for the purpose of watching the contest" scenario.

That was pretty standard for slave owners at the time. They were heavily cash poor and were always in debt despite being insanely wealthy.
Still...I really doubt he had much intention to free his slaves. If he did, I think he would have made more of an effort.
When he died, he was a tired old man and probably didn't want the trouble, but it does call into question his fervor for manumission of his own property.

True times change but humans don't and I think that dynamic rings true for us. My daughter is the anxious type and the nuns at her school have such a lot of rules and are SO strict with the girls she basically always feels like she's somehow "breaking a rule" she doesn't even know about! her stress levels are thru the roof. And with no boys around to break up the drama things can get REALLY weird there.
Am hoping boys schools aren't as bad, but even there you probably see an escalation of "boyness" without the mitigating factor of girls around? but maybe that's a good dynamic!

Still...I really doubt he had much intention to free his slaves. If he did, I think he would have made more of an effort.
When he died, he was a tired old man and probably didn't want the

his own property.

I have to imagine that with people like Cameron, they're chasing minutiae. I'll bet Avatar or Alita or whatever would be at least 95% as good as they were. Chasing the tiny stuff has little marginal value and adds a lot of time and expense.

Counter factuals are 30% of the Internet!
But yeah, I really wouldn't be surprised if Cameron had delayed Avatar a full year because he didn't think the digital hair felt right enough.
I heard a talk from one of his visual effects producers on Titanic. She worked 100 hour weeks during the movie's post-production process and saw pieces of everything coming together. She told one story:
They needed a sound effect for a helicopter flying, so the sound guys got a helicopter, hovered it over land, captured the sound, and brought it to the booth. When they played it, Cameron stopped them.
"Did you get that sound with the helicopter over land?"
"Yes."
"You have to do it over water."
Sound guy leans over to someone and asks, "Can he tell the difference between salt water and fresh water?"

the usual leftist media suspects "pounced on" the number 3000 ... somehow.
Gang member age up to 19 included ... that is probably 3000/year. Loaded guns left "laying around" by parents is probably under 100. Which is basically zero, especially considering the very real "lives saved" by having a gun in the home.
Lives are saved not just when a gun is in hand to deter an attack, but all the attacks deterred by the laws allowing a lot of guns, so criminals are less likely to try their luck.

Approximately.
American Academy of Pediatrics 10-year-old position paper on Firearm safety reports 2,966 firearms related deaths in individuals 0 to 19 years old. This number includes homicides, suicides, law-enforcement encounters and accidental discharge. They just happen to gloss over the inconvenient fact that the vast majority of this total number is in the 17-19 year.old age group. For the babies, of course. (Babies evoke more sympathy than gang-bangers for some reason.)

The earliest version of that storyline that I can think of is that of Ruth and Boaz in the Book of Ruth (with Naomi as the yentl, the Jewish mother in law who sets it all up) Ruth and Boaz are later included in the genealogy of Jesus himself, which is interesting, since Ruth was by birth a Moabite, not a Jew.

Biology aside, it was Joseph who would be answering the young boy's constant questions, Joseph who showed Jesus around the temple when Jesus was twelve, Joseph who introduced Jesus into the father-son relationship that became the very basis of Jesus' teaching. We don't have much of Joseph in the Gospels, but we see him reflected in the son he raised.

And what pray tell did they say was an "excessive fine"?"
The defendant was convicted of a crime for which the maximum fine was $10,000.00 But since they said he used his vehicle in the commission of the crime (selling drugs), they confiscated a vehicle worth $42,000.
Defendants claim was that this confiscation went well beyond what the law actually allowed. SCOTUS agreed.

So? The fine was $10k.
Asset forfeiture was the taking of the car for use in the commission of the crime.

or "the evidence broadens, the list of co-conspirators continues to expand".
To me there is not much thickness to the plot, it is DeepState operatives protecting their criminal cabal. The infiltration web had metastasized through the whole bureaucracy.
Hopefully the fact that more is coming out in public, means they are "grooming the public" for real action ... but I've hoped that was "coming soon to a grand jury near you" for a long time. There are some grand juries I hear, so ... tick tock ... 2 weeks.

I disagree with Ginsburg's decision. I don't believe the confiscation to be a fine but rather the confiscation of property obtained by illegal actions.
I have no problem confiscating property obtained from the trafficking of drugs as long as there is a conviction of that specific charge. I would also require an accounting of the revenue claimed to have been earned.

Not really. It's the same dozen or so people who keep showing up over and over, whether it's the Hillary email investigation or the Trump Russia investigation, it was the same small group of conspirators who did almost all of the damage.

Parts of Trisha Anderson's, the number 2 lawyer at the FBI, testimony to Congress came out last night. In it she confirmed that it was about a dozen people who did both investigations.
That was kind of the whole point. Nothing about these investigations was normal, starting with the fact that they were run from FBI HQ instead of a field office, and they needed to keep the group small and contained if they had any hope of keeping what they were doing secret.

What prevents someone from operating a SW radio without a license?
Posted by: Cuthbert the Witless
--------
It isn't the wavelength that is critical, it is the allotment of sundry bands of frequencies available to amateurs (they are regulated), the power that may legally used, and the mode of communication.
Second question, amateur radio is almost entirely self-policed. People operate illegally from time-to-time, but amateurs generally have a nose for detecting illegal operators, and will undertake to shut them down.
I am aware of one case where my buddies located the illegal user and conducted the sheriff's department to the guys house. It's a Federal bust, so, somewhat serious.

This is actually a very far reaching ruling since what is cited is part of the Bill of Rights.

>>I was just reading up on that on the web. Seems like a real
"Lone Gunmen" squad those Ham radio people. I guarantee you out there
someone was keeping a log of transmission by call sign. Would be a good
hook for a spy novel.
A decade ago or so the FBI caught a group of Cuban spies who were communicating with Havana by Ham radio.

sign on every transmission. It's also not encrypted, so anyone on that
frequency that is set up for that digital program can monitor the trans
mission.

Except for when, where, how long, and the image code be the code.Say you transit for exactly 20 seconds.
But yeah no secrets.

Emmie #354:
Mindful, so Joseph kept her a "young woman" until Jesus was born? How did he do that? Much more likely that he kept her a virgin.
The fact that Jesus had a bunch of brothers and sisters that were not also The Son of God should tell you that normal marital relations commenced after the birth of Jesus.
Not gonna argue it, Emmie. I was raised and steeped in Christianity and know the drills. One little pipsqueak webworker's heretical questioning of a fundamental of centuries of settled Christian doctrine can be safely ignored. I still expect Joe was a good dad. And likely had some influence on Mary's firstborn.

Second question, amateur radio is almost entirely
self-policed. People operate illegally from time-to-time, but amateurs
generally have a nose for detecting illegal operators, and will
undertake to shut them down.
I am aware of one case where my buddies located the illegal user and
conducted the sheriff's department to the guys house. It's a Federal
bust, so, somewhat serious.

This is a very important note, especially to those of you interested in grabbing certain types of radio equipment - a lot of the less expensive chinese made radios on the market have a wide (read: not FCC approved) range of capabilities in terms of the bands they can operate in, and it is very easy to end up using parts of the spectrum you're not allowed to be in - either on that equipment, or at all...
The HAM community is probably the single worst example of hall monitor syndrome that I have *ever* encountered in the US. It's like, not even close. Take the socially awkward basement shut-in aspects of hacker culture, but then filter it through the sorts of weird old guy kind of people who do things like obsess over trains and old school tech, then toss in a big dose of "look at me, I'm a volunteer firefighter who drives an ex-police Crown Vic with a red lightbar on top"...
The worst examples spend half their free time splitting between trying to narc on illegal broadcasters and squatting on forums spazzing out about how this that and everything is unlawful. It's virtually impossible for a newbie to show up and ask questions about modern radio equipment without one of these weirdos showing up and doing the "but, ackshually..." routine. Every fucking time...
It's a perfect case study in how the .gov reinforced the behavior of a freaky subset of a community and forged it into an enforcement tool.

Related - for those of you who don't know, it's possible to use HAM to
transmit images, data, etc. That's most likely what they were doing, not
"this is *callsign*, blah blah blah" voice commo.

Digital also requires the operator to use their call sign on every
transmission. It's also not encrypted, so anyone on that frequency that
is set up for that digital program can monitor the trans mission.

Which means exactly nothing, because you can just transmit a burst from a different location each time with $50 of equipment powered off a 12v socket in a car. The HAM hall monitors aren't going to catch a damn thing in that case, if they notice at all.
The .gov might, if they have reason to think you're going to be transmitting in a certain area in the future, and are willing to throw money and manpower at it.
If you want to lob a bit of data anonymously and very much on the cheap and aren't an IT nut, HAM is the easy way to do it.
