The BMB is still on the loose! Akron residents, keep your eyes peeled!

If you see something (or smell something), say something!

Be a good citizen, let's apprehend this dastardly criminal!

Best rock album of all time (in your opinion, of course)

For me, Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin was pretty memorable.

1908 SCOTUS: Muller v. Oregon 208 U.S. 412, Women are too fragile to work as much as men

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller_v._Oregon

Muller v. Oregon, 208 U.S. 412 (1908), was a landmark decision in United States Supreme Court history, as it justifies both sex discrimination and usage of labor laws during the time period. The case upheld Oregon state restrictions on the working hours of women as justified by the special state interest in protecting women's health. The ruling had important implications for protective labor legislation.[1] The case was decided a mere three years after Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45 (1905), in which a New York law restricting the weekly working hours of bakers was invalidated.

Though with the state winning in shorter hours for women, and the popular progressives being happy with the outcome, equal-rights feminists were against this because it worked so heavily on the separation of the sexes into two stereotyped gender-roles and restricted women's financial independence.This labor law gave white women more protection, but it excluded women of color, food processors, agricultural workers, and white collar educated women. The governmental interest in public welfare outweighed the freedom of contract that is displayed in the 14th Amendment and the effects of Muller v. Oregon did not change until the New Deal days in the 1930s. It was also a watershed in the development of maternalist reforms.[2][3][4][5]
The ruling was criticized because it set a precedent to use sex differences, and in particular women's child-bearing capacity, as a basis for separate legislation, supporting the idea that the family has priority over women's rights as workers.

rant about Logitech

If you're not in the mood to read a rant....thee hast been warned.

Ok, a while back I seriously considered replacing my Logitech headset with one with better battery life. I decided against it.

What really chafes my ass even worse (first world problem admittedly) is the crappy buggy software that comes with it. Turning volume up and down is a trial-and-error process, which it should NOT be. It should be really easy. Dead simple.

So, I finally got pissed off enough (cue grumpy old man) to write a old fashioned paper letter to the CEO of Logitech, who is in Switzerland. He (or one of his aides) will get it in probably one to two weeks.

Granted, I might have wasted my time. I damn sure feel better, though. IF THE CEO OF LOGITECH DOES NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT PRODUCTS, then all hope is lost.

I've written corporate CEO's before, and I've actually gotten results. SOME CEO's actually care, admittedly for the profit reason. F**** human goodness, it's all about the $$$$$.

/rant off

Have a lovely day, ya'll
