A DHS spokesperson would not comment on the specifics of the case but says they have no choice but to comply with state law, which is designed...
...wait for it...
...to protect Michigan children.

10 + 8 = -2, bad math or an evil plot?
Okay, so summer is over and I've put my grill away and have started raking the leaves from my yard. So I'll put this behind me for now. But come next spring, if things don't change there's gonna be trouble.
If only I had a gun...
I frequently get emails alerting me of outrageous bills being presented in Congress. Many of them are indeed, outrageous. However, the more outrageous they are the more likely they are to be DOA.
Here's a good article explaining why these bills exist and a good place to keep track of them.

The Evolution of 1 and 0 and A/V
About 7 years ago I purchased a computer with a TV tuner and DVR built into the video card. As far as TV went, I was interested in only a few sitcoms, the History and Discovery channels, the NFL and NASCAR and the news, but I felt like sitting in my living room or lying in bed and watching was a colossal waste of time. I figured if I could watch TV on my computer I could work at the same time.
I was right , I could do my finances, pay bills, do work I brought home from my job (even extra credit stuff), check and respond to personal as well as business emails, keep up my personal journal and continue to educate myself with things related to my life by doing research on the web.
That’s when I started using two monitors. If you don’t use two monitors you don’t know what you’re missing. Even when NOT watching TV on one of them. It’s like you’re in college studying for a test and you’re in the library and you have multiple books open and spread across the table. You can have several programs and/or windows opened up at the same time on each monitor. So the ease at which you can bounce from one reference to another or one application to another increases your productivity.
The TV? Well I could open it up in a separate window and size it in the corner of one of the monitors.
But then came HD and the idea of watching movies while I worked.
So now I’m at three monitors. One dedicated, when I wish, to entertainment as I work.
As things have evolved in my digital experience now comes along online or internet, world wide web video and ‘on demand’ television viewing.
Remember when MTV first debuted? We were all mesmerized. Nonstop eye candy coupled with music with NO commercials or any other interruptions, 24/7.
I stumbled upon this video web site last night, as I did in 1977 with my discovery of MTV and couldn’t stop watching for over 2 hours: www.isofa.tv.
Make some popcorn and check it out. Simply amazing… give it at least 15 minutes. You’ll see some fascinating stuff.
I’m betting it won’t be long before it’s riddled with commercials.
