Franklin Cider Mill

After about three years of construction, the Mill was completed in 1837, the same year in which Michigan gained its statehood. The building development was started by a man from New York named Ed W. Matthews. Matthews purchased a large tract of land near the Mill’s current location. Unfortunately however, financial difficulties made it impossible for him to finish his project.
It was then purchased by Peter VanEvery who completed the building and opened it as a gristmill. He became the miller for an area of many miles in all directions. VanEvery also had many other enterprises in the Stoughton and Bullock Settlement, which is now Franklin.
Ownership of the Mill changed hands many times during the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Around the turn of the century, the Mill was flooded and shut down until it was purchased in 1918 by Robert McKee. McKee stipulated that the cider season would run from August 15^th until January 1^st.
The Mill changed hands one more time in 1966. Jack Peltz purchased the Mill and just two years later another flood left the Mill in a jam. The flood washed away a 30-foot section of the road that the Mill stands on. The road was fixed but the power that was provided by the water wheel was lost. Regular electricity was installed in the Mill that year, 1968. Possession of the Mill has remained in the Peltz family and is now owned by Barry Peltz.
Good time at the Franklin Cider Mill the other day! It was very intresting. It was nice to learn about some of the history there and experience it all. Even though the cider and doughnuts where expensive, it was fun and exiting to get out of the classroom enviroment.

Complete Video - Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong At iHeartRadio Festival

This was part of Green Days performance at the iheart radio festival in Las Vegas. What happened was their set was cut short to make time for other performers such as Usher and Rihanna. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong took offence to it and supposedly  had a "mealtdown" onstage on live Television.  A reporter at the concert said the band came on 30 minutes late. He is currently in rehab in treatment for substance abuse. I suspect alcohol was a factor looking at the full performance. The band did apologize on there blog which stated: "Billie Joe is seeking treatment for substance abuse. We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. We regretfully must postpone some of our upcoming promotional appearances". The reactions from the people are mixed. Iv seen a lot that are offended because of the explicit language he used. Also, there where young kids there to see other performers like Justin Beiber, Usher, Rihannn, etc. A lot of other people agreed with what he did and think everyone is blowing it out of proportion. They would all be pissed off too. In my opinion, honestly what did you expect? Your inviting a punk rock band to a pop radio concert that is really suppose to be "PG". Really, this is almost a normal concert for Green Day! Smashing the guitars is what a lot of rock bands do! They do use a lot of explicit language! Their not really a "PG" band. And I do believe they deserve respect because they have been around a lot longer than all the other bands preforming there. They have been in the business since 1988! But whats in the past is the past and you cant change it. He should be out of rehab soon and starting their world tour.

Immagration Laws

 When someone applies for a passport, travels from his country of residence to another country, or seeks to enter another country for employment or school attendance, these actions are part and parcel of International Immigration law. This area of law is regulated by international law and is very closely associated with nationality law, which basically deals with a person’s legal status as a citizen. Immigration law is not uniform throughout the world, but the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has decreed that all countries must allow entry to its own citizens.U.S. Immigration law falls under the umbrella of the federal government and determines whether a person is an alien, as well as his legal rights, duties and obligations while in the U.S. An alien was defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA) as “any person who is not a citizen or a national of the United States.” U.S. Immigration law further oversees all the processes under which aliens my enter the U.S., gain residence, and/or become a naturalized citizen, wherein they obtain full citizenship rights. It includes a regulatory body which deals with who may enter the U.S., how long visitors may remain and when they must be evicted.

Im familiar with these laws because my parents came from England. They are not US citizens but are currently on a visa which allows residence here due to my dads job. I will be allowed to "sponsor" them when i turn 21 in 3 years. I myself am a US citizen because i was born here but due to natural born right i also have a UK citizenship.

Here’s the thing about Green Day: They’re at the point in their career where they can legitimately do whatever they want. They’ve sold 70 million albums worldwide and played to nearly as many in their 25-year career. Hell, it’s practically a given that they’ll be a first-ballot inductee for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013, their first official year of eligibility. The amount of times this band have faded into the darkness only to blast back into relevancy is staggering, and that’s why we really shouldn’t be surprised that for the trio’s first new music in nearly three-and-a-half years is the first part of a trilogy yet has no heady concept tied to it, unlike 2004’s American Idiot or 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown. Instead, ¡Uno! does what Green Day have always done best: play loud, fast, catchy-as-fuck punk rock that results in near-endless replay value.
