 | So who's been following the Turkish Troubles? - shinerfan on 6/12/13 at 9:28 pm
I've been crazy busy the last two weeks and haven't had the time. Are these really anti-Islamist protestors? The rise of Erdogan was the most troubling aspect of modern Islamic fundamentalism, at least to me. But it seems Ataturk's influence lives on?
There's a war for the heart and future of Isl...

| Advice on leaving a family farm partnership - shinerfan on 12/5/12 at 9:11 am
Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want any money from the other partners, I just want to separate my finances and taxes from my cousins. Its really more an issue of legal exposure than money.
And can anyone recommend a N La tax attorney with a background in this sort of thing....

| Anyone ever make pear wine/brandy? - shinerfan on 6/12/12 at 5:34 pm
I've never made wine but I was at my mom's old house this past weekend and noticed that her pear trees are just loaded down with pears that are maybe a week away from optimum ripeness. Three trees with probably near a thousand pears. No one lives there and I hate to just leave them for the squirrels...

No one knows who the voters would send to Atlanta, but would either of the two left out, regardless of which two, really have a legitimate beef? I lean more towards "should of won your damn game"....

| Morehouse Deputies frame man for hate crime - shinerfan on 10/4/11 at 7:33 am
This story gets uglier and uglier. Not only have the two Deputies not been charged criminally, but apparently since Jamie Wallis' two sons were found to be the culprits its no longer even a hate crime.

For years now I've thought he was dead and the reason for the poor quality recordings was to prevent the tech wizards at the NSA from conducting voice analysis and saying conclusively that it wasn't him. That seemed to be the only reason that fit. In the immediate aftermath of Tora Bora they obvious...
