  1. Clownburner says this is almost "badger worthy" www.angrymonkey.net/putfileshere/thellamasong.swf
  2. well... it's over. I think I did well. I know I spotted nine more issues than one of my classmates on the essay. I nailed at least 8/10 on multiple choice, probably 10/10.
  3. No... I posted it so people in affected areas can call and check their voter status and know if they have to re-register. I don't know who's doing it, nor do I care. I just don't want to see ANYONE, conservative or liberal, not be able to vote when they took the time to register.
  4. much as the man irritates me, I'd pull him out of the drink. However, the question was what kind of film...
  5. color. you can always make it BW in post.
  6. hehe... that's the first thing in my notes...
  7. I have my first law school midterm tomorrow... contracts class. any vibes/good wishes would be much appreciated.
  8. More: Bradbury Plans To Investigate Election Complaint (Oregon) Author: Rukmini Callimachi, The Associated Press Source: Oregon Live (OR) Title: BRADBURY PLANS TO INVESTIGATE ELECTION COMPLAINT [Oregon] Secretary of State Bill Bradbury and Attorney General Hardy Myers plan to investigate allegations that a paid canvasser might have destroyed voter registration forms. "There have been allegations made that someone threw out some voter registration forms that had been submitted to them," Bradbury told The Associated Press late Tuesday. "This is a violation of the law and I will meet with the attorney general in the morning to talk about what we can do to pursue this, and to make sure it doesn't happen again." Bradbury learned of the conduct from KGW-TV, which interviewed Mike Johnson, 20, a canvasser who said he was instructed to only accept Republican registration forms. He told the TV reporter that he "might" destroy forms turned in by Democrats. www.oregonlive.com/newsflash/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-8/1097647496301300.xml&storylist=orlocal More: I-Team Investigation Uncovers Voter Registration Fraud (Colorado) Author: Deborah Sherman Source: 9news.com (CO) Title: I-TEAM INVESTIGATION UNCOVERS VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD With just 21 days left until an election in which every vote will count, the 9News I-Team has uncovered voter registration fraud that could cause chaos on Election Day for hundreds, possibly thousands of Colorado voters. 9News has discovered a record number of fraudulent voter-registrations across the state. Secretary of State Donetta Davidson tells 9News she is concerned about what the I-Team has uncovered and wants those responsible prosecuted. "It has just gone rampant," she told reporter Deborah Sherman in an interview Monday afternoon. Most of the fraud has come from registration drives, where people at grocery stores or on the streets ask you to sign up. 9News has learned many workers have re-registered voters multiple times by changing or making up information about them. http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=8ac173fd-0abe-421a-011e-5ce7dfcf561e&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf
  9. Las Vegas Voter Registrations Possibly Trashed Author: KLAS-TV8 Source: klas-tv.com (NV) Title: VOTER REGISTRATIONS POSSIBLY TRASHED Employees of a private voter registration company allege that hundreds, perhaps thousands of voters who may think they are registered will be rudely surprised on election day. The company claims hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash. Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building may be affected. The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats. Thee focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes. Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats. Call the Clark County Election Department at 455-VOTE or go to www.accessclarkcounty.com/election/lookup.asp to verify if you are registered. (Oct. 13) -- Federal, state, and local officials are gathering information about allegations of voter registration fraud that were first raised Channel 8 Eyewitness News. An employee of a private voter registration firm alleges that his bosses trashed registration forms filled out by Democratic voters because they only wanted to sign up Republican voters. The allegations have set off a political firestorm stretching from Las Vegas to Washington D.C., and beyond. As with everything else in this election year, it's now become a political football being tossed between the two parties, with charges and countercharges, but at its core, there still remains the matter of registration forms that were ripped up and tossed in the trash. Who did it, and why? That's what official agencies will try to determine. On Tuesday afternoon, Las Vegan Eric Russell and his girlfriend took a packet of documents to the Las Vegas FBI office but left before filing a formal complaint about what Russell says was a deliberate effort to disenfranchise local voters. Russell worked for a company called Voters Outreach of America, along with 300 other people. He says he got into a beef with the company over a pay dispute, and witnessed his bosses ripping up registration forms that had been filed by democrats. "They were thrown away in the trash. I grabbed them out," said Eric Russell. One of those forms belonged to Daren Gray, who was shocked to learn that the re-registration form he filled out was never turned in. "I'm pretty mad, upset. I'm still gonna vote," said Daren Gray. Russell doesn't know how many democratic registrations were tossed in the trash but guesses the number could be very high since Voters Outreach of America operated in Las Vegas for more than two months. The FBI confirms that it is gathering information about the case but stopped short of calling it an investigation, saying it wants to talk to Russell again. Secretary of State Dean Heller issued a statement that his office is also taking a look, trying to figure out what if any laws might have been violated. Nevada Democrats came out swinging Wednesday. "Most disturbing is that Voter Outreach of America is being paid by the National Republican Party and we ask how can people have faith in government if a national party is involved in trickery in depriving people the right to vote," said Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates. The Republican National Committee acknowledges that it hired Voters Outreach of America to register voters, but in a statement said it had zero tolerance for any kind of fraud. Local party officials said there is no way the GOP would instruct the company to trash democratic registrations. However, similar problems have been alleged elsewhere. In Washoe County, the registrar says he too has turned over information to the FBI about Republican backed registration efforts. In Oregon, the same company that was operating here has been criticized for its tactics in signing up voters. There, it used the name America Votes, which is actually the name of a Democratic organization. Employees in Las Vegas say they too were told that the name of the company was America Votes. "They confused us with the name. They told us one thing and told the temp force something else. They told us America Votes," Russell said. So, why has this company used the name of a Democratic organization as it signs up voters here and in Oregon? It's a question Eyewitness News is investigating. In the meantime, Eric Russell is about to learn what it's like to stir the pot. He has already been attacked in other media accounts as a disgruntled employee who was fired and displayed a violent temper. Russell was a disgruntled employee. He admits that if he had been paid, he probably wouldn't have talked. Even so, discrediting him doesn't explain the existence of the trashed registration forms.

  13. http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/10/12/contraceptive.complaint.ap/index.html MADISON, Wisconsin. (AP) -- A former pharmacist said Monday he refused to fill a college student's prescription for birth control pills or transfer it to another pharmacy because he did not want to commit a sin. Neil Noesen, 30, testifying before a judge at a disciplinary hearing, could face a reprimand or loss of his pharmacist's license for refusing to help Amanda Phiede obtain her pills. "I could have trouble sleeping at night. I could be suffering the worst kind of pain. Spiritual pain," Noesen told an administrative law judge. The state Department of Regulation and Licensing accuses Noesen of unprofessional conduct for not transferring Phiede's prescription. "The additional risk of pregnancy should not have been imposed on her by someone else," said John Zwieg, a lawyer for the department. Noesen's attorney, Krystal Williams-Oby, said Noesen broke no laws. She described him as a devout Roman Catholic and said any punishment would violate his constitutional right to religious expression. According to the complaint, Noesen was an independent pharmacist filling in at a Kmart pharmacy in Menomonie in July 2002 when Phiede, then a student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, asked to renew her birth control prescription. Noesen, the only pharmacist on duty at the store at the time, asked if the prescription would be used for contraception, then refused to refill it when she said it would. "I just wanted to get my pills and go home," Phiede said. Noesen also refused a Wal-Mart pharmacist's request to transfer the prescription, she said. Phiede returned to Kmart the next day with police, she said, and the store manager called Ken Jordanby, the pharmacy director who was out of town. Jordanby filled her prescription when he returned the following day. In his testimony, Noesen talked about God's law and accused Zwieg of harassing him. "It's good for a person to be persecuted," he said when asked by his lawyer how the proceedings have affected him. "Really, it helps you grow in your faith." The hearing was expected to conclude Tuesday. The judge will make a recommendation to the examining board on what punishment, if any, Noesen should receive.
  14. ask him to pay you back $20 every two weeks. When it's broken down into small sums, it's not so intimidating, and you'll probably get some of the cash back.
  15. hard to tell when you can't see the roof. Romanesque, maybe?
  16. My parents got call waiting when I was in college. I was 17, and I'd been trying to call them from the emergency room where I was sitting there with a broken bone to get parental consent for them to treat me. The phone was busy for quite a long time. I finally had to call the next door neighbor late at night to get them to walk over and tell my dad to hang up the damn phone.
  17. LOL! Two of my gay friends have never even BEEN in a bar!
  18. 15 south to the 91 east to the 215 south, then exit "D" St. in Perris. Go 1 mile then left on 11th St. Go 2 blocks & turn right on Goetz Rd.
  19. google the "riverside county transit". Which line depends on what time you're going. Best bet might be to try supershuttle.
  20. yep. Doreen ROCKS too! She saved me from packing myself a mal at least twice while I was learning. She wasn't teaching packing classes when I took mine, but I guess she is now. She's awesome!!!!!
  21. cable content is not as regulated as broadcast tv is, simply because cable does not involve the use of "airwaves." Cities, on the other hand, can do a lot to regulate cable tv, because you have to use city property to put in the cable lines under the streets. It's part of the reason why cable tv is so pricey. the cable companies have to pay fees to the city for permission and regulation, so they pass those fees along to the viewers.
  22. you can take the bus. kinda a pita, tho.
  23. the packing class at perris is great. I took it on a weather hold day, so I didn't get my jump your own packjob thing signed off, but he signed off the rest. Request Jimmy. He rocks as a packing teacher, and lets you come back anytime to ask questions.
