fish 321pm – Yes it is. And from personal experience with a painful trip to the ER, please make sure you wear eye protection if you decide to shape any of those vitrified tiles with either saw or chisel. Doing that, I accidentally shot a chip into the end of my ring finger, that could easily have gone into my unprotected eyes. The chip flew into my the end pad of my finger at such speed and orientation that the entry wound was all but invisible. The EMT at the ER had a hard time believing my story, until they took an x-ray and there it was, deep inside. Digging it out was a lot of fun, NOT!

As for Adriana and her husband what information do you have that she married him for convenience of takiong his fortune?

“Scott, I once ran into Mike Huffington at a Republican semi annual party meeting when I was Chairman of the NCRCC back in the 90’s. He was married to Arianna at the time. She married him for the money and was richly paid for here marriage license.”
“Regarding Arianna and Mike. I met the guy and he personally told me.”
So let me get this straight, Mike Huffington told you Todd Juvinall that Adriana married him for his money to give him cover and was paid to do it.
Woo Woo Woo Todd. Are you coming out on this blog that you are a Log Cabin Republican? That’s pretty personal stuff Michael Huffington shared with you (that his wife Adriana Huffington married him for his money to give him cover to make it seem he was straight. What year in the 90’s did you talk to him? Here’s a brief history of their relationship.
“On April 12, 1986 Huffington married Arianna Huffington, a Greek-born writer and lecturer. They had two daughters and divorced in 1997. In 1998 Huffington disclosed that he is bisexual.”
What years were you Chairman of the NCRCC? You are saying that while they were still married he told you that? He didn’t come out publicly until after they divorced so apparently you got the inside scoop..
Perhaps I’ll feature this on the news. Can I quote you?
The headline can read “Todd Juvinall. former Nevada County Supervisor claims he was personally told by Michael Huffington that his wife Adriana married him for his money to provide cover to hide his homosexuality. Juvinall said he was told this by Michael Huffington when he and his wife Arianna were still married and before he publically announced he was bi-sexual in 1998. Huffington and his wife Arianna were divorced in 1997. “

A little surprised that no one has mentioned that French gun control laws are an American prohibitionists wet dream!
France[edit]
Main article: Gun politics in France
In France, to buy a firearm, a hunting license or a shooting sport license is necessary. All semi-automatic rifles with a capacity greater than 3 rounds, all handguns and all rifles chambered in ‘military’ calibers, including bolt action, require permits. These are known as B1, B2 and B4 type permits. Firearms are divided into eight categories that determine the regulations that apply to their possession and use. France also sets limits on the number of cartridges that can be kept at home (1000 rounds per gun).
The total number of firearms owned by an individual is also subject to limits (not possible to have more than 12 authorizations/permits on B1, B2 and B4 type firearms).[27] As of September, 2013, France has a capacity limit of 20 rounds for handguns;[28] one needs a permit for category one[clarification needed] semi-automatics that have a capacity greater than 3 rounds. Fully automatic firearms are illegal for civilian ownership.
Good thing the Kouachi brothers couldn’t get weapons (and don’t you even mention the RPG that they had…..that’s just crazy talk!) and cause this horrible tragedy!

The right wingers have it all wrong regarding the 2nd amendment when they claim what the founding fathers intended or know what the historical context under which the amendment was written. At the time the loose confederation of colonies then states didn’t have a military. Local communities raised militias from their own population of citizens. There weren’t any anti-gun laws but the 2nd Amendment required those serving in the militias to own guns. A local leader was selected (or volunteered) to raise that militia. During the Revolutionary War, Washington was selected to coordinate those militias and the German mercenaries who came to fight alongside. After the war everyone went back home to conduct their lives.
If the constitution is static then we’d still have a loose confederation of small and large local militias that would need to be coordinated from time to time. Instead, we have a huge national military that right wingers and liberals are willing to pay big bucks to maintain. Local militias are no longer practical for national security. So, in my opinion, the constitution is a living document that must change with the times. Theodore Roosevelt saw how the world was changing and led the country into a new understanding of a living constitution.
Gun owners have never been faced with the threat of our government demanding they give up gun ownership. Their hysterical arguments to that idea, in my opinion, is a sign that they are willing to accept the rights of those willing to own and use guns in commission of murder for any cause imagined or desired, real or not. The 2nd Amendment doesn’t support their idea.
We do have local militia. Police and Sheriff. They are recruited by citizens through a selected community leader.
Constitution?? What’s that?

I just finished reading Cracking Big Green: To Save the World from the Save-the-Earth Money Machine on my Kindle. I usually have two or more books I am reading one on the Kindle, one on the iPad and a real paper book for scribbling in the margins with my fountain pen. But I digress.
Cracking Big Green has 13 positive reviews on Amazon and 2 negative ones. Here is one of the positive reviews by Alan Caruba, and well know author on climate change issues:
This book will astound readers who will discover how many millions of dollars environmental organizations receive from foundations, corporations and others, including membership. It documents and demonstrates the financial muscle that Greens have to advance their agenda, one that attacks access to and use of fossil fuels and any other technology that advances the economy and our lives. Using fear tactics and propaganda, Greens distort or ignore the real science that affects the welfare of the Earth. Until a wider understanding of their financial power is more widely known and understood they will be free to wreak havoc in countless ways. “Cracking Big Green” should be read by everyone who keeps wondering why the Earth has been in a cooling cycle for nearly two decades at the same time Greens keep talking about “global warming.” The facts the authors provide are invaluable.
One of the negative complaints was the authors did support their argument with facts, yet there was an extensive list of source notes for avery chapter with active URLs to those sources in the back of the book. That is one thing I like about Kindle books you can click on the links while reading the text. I also like the dictionary feature as well. Do not know the word, highlight it and up comes a definition.
After reading Cracking Big Green, it is really about money and power. The climate and the environment are just an excuse for the elites to exert control over the lower classes.

You’re so right Russ. Many years ago when the environmentalist racketeers were getting rid of most of the logging and lumber companies, my friend Judy and I were checking on them. One of the survivors was Sierra Pacific Industries. They allegedly donated $50,000 to an environmental group in Quincy hoping to stay in business. It evidently worked, but with this kind of government promoted corruption and racketeering no one is ever safe.
