I had never heard of her until the controversy today. I have my own recipes and they are a lot better than hers! ;-)
Oh yeah.....this is doing the trick....gurney STAT!!!! ;-}
Wow! What a cool thread!
Thank you, connie, and thanks and God Bless to all of our troops!
A world map published by the National Geographic Society has this notation: Earths mass is 6.6 sextillion tons. And what supports all that weight? Nothing. The planet we inhabit spins on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour as it hurtles through space in its orbit around the sun. But its easy for that to remain unnoticed in the midst of our daily concerns about health, relationships, and how to pay the bills.
The Old Testament character Job repeatedly considered Gods creation in his struggle to make sense of the numbing loss of his health, his wealth, and his children. [God] stretches out the north over empty space, Job said. He hangs the earth on nothing (Job 26:7). Job marveled at the clouds that did not break under the heavy water inside them (v.8) and the horizon at the boundary of light and darkness (v.10), but called them the mere edges of His ways (v.14).
Creation itself did not answer Jobs questions, but the heavens and the earth pointed him to God the Creator, who alone could respond with help and hope.
The Lord who upholds the universe by the word of His power (Heb. 1:3; Col. 1:17) is in control of our everyday lives. Experiences that seem empty places are all undergirded by our heavenly Fathers power and love.
Read: Job 26:5-14
All's well so far but not really happy about them being so far away. Kiara fell and got a cut that required stiches....but she's running wildly again now and bragging about her scar.....Kids!
Rofl! Those are hysterical Cindy Sue!

Hi Everybody!
Hiya MY....how's you & the Pookster? *Hugs*
If you have occasion to attend one of these concerts live, theyre held at the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall, which is upstairs at Benaroya Hall at the corner of Third Avenue and Union Street in downtown Seattle. Theres a bus and light rail station (University Street) just under the hall. The secret of the acoustics is to sit either in the very front or the very back. In the middle, the piano sounds clangy, and the balance between instruments is sometimes lost. People would see where I sat and say, Well, if old Pubbies sitting there, thats the place to be. For that reason, veteran ticket holders now reserve their seats all the way in the back.
Now that Jimmy Ehnes is Artistic Director, were getting a lot of music weve never heard, which is a joy for me. I love the old chamber warhorses, but there are a lot of pieces that dont get heard very often that are gems. As we approach each concert, Ill introduce one piece per evening at the Canteen with commentary about the piece. On concert nights, Ill introduce the musicians.
Tonight Ill take you through the opening piece for next Saturday, the third of Beethovens Opus 1 trios for piano, violin and cello. Beethoven had written a lot of pieces in his teens and early Twenties that he didnt publish. He was a good judge of quality, and he waited until he was 25 to publish his first pieces.
The older Haydn was Beethovens teacher, and he loved the first two trios of the set. Haydn had pretty much invented the form, and in his trios the cello tends to double the piano part. Beethoven wrote an independent cello part in the style of Mozart, which is why cellists love playing his1 trios.
But Haydn had reservations about the third trio. It was too brash, too brusque, too abrasive too Beethovenish. It was the sound of the future, Romantic rather than Classical, and it threw quite a scare into old Papa Haydn.
It starts with a sonata movement marked allegro con brio. Mozart had used this direction only once, and Haydn only a few times. Beethoven was to use it a lot. For those of you who survived my Brahms series last year, youll remember sonata format as being 1-2-1-2-development-1-2-coda.
Beethoven starts out with the instruments playing in unison in C minor, his death key. Note that Beethoven doesnt use the kind of long, singing lines that Mozart and Schubert were fond of. He prefers instead to use shorter units of melody; he thinks instrumentally, rather than vocally.
At 1:10 he slides into the second subject, which is in the relative major key, E-flat. (C minor are E-flat Major both have three flats.)
At 2:35 he repeats the exposition.
At 5:07, its development time! He quotes the opening fragment, but takes off into the kind of struggle that defines a Beethoven development. Keys come and go, creating a wonderful kind of instability.
But he settles into C minor again at 6:30 for his recapitulation, but only briefly enough for the cello to take up the theme in C Major, a technique beloved of Mozart. The violin moves the theme to A-flat Major. Its clear that Beethoven is re-composing his recapitulation.
As he cadences in C minor at 7:19, you would expect the second subject in the recap to be in C Major, the corresponding major. (Corresponding minors and majors share the same letter.) But Beethoven pulls off a surprise by placing the second subject in C minor! In effect, in the recap he reverses the role of the major and minor keys.
At 8:15 he begins his coda by reworking his first subject, ending it quickly with no long held notes. Haydn was shocked at the brusqueness.
Pooks a big ol sack of baloney LOL
Howdy! Good to see ya! (((hugs)))
Looks like you're gonna get to do some wallerin' of your own when
those concerts start up! Enjoy! :)

Building Jewish Leaders at Hungary's Camp Szarvas
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
Selfies with the rabbi. A bounce castle. An open-air Jewish market. These were just a few of the dozens of activities on the docket at the Balint JCC in Budapest, Hungary's annual Open Doors Festival – a chance for the main community institution of the city's approximately 100,000 Jews to introduce itself to its neighbors.
This summer marked 14-year-old Galya's first time at Szarvas — JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp bringing together 1,300 children and teens from 25 countries — but the Turkish teen is no stranger to the idea of being a global citizen.
Wiktoria Jachym, 16, is a proud participant of many Jewish programs in her hometown of Krakow, Poland — Sunday school, community celebrations, the city's innovative 7@Nite Festival, and more. But the high school student's favorite Jewish program by far is Camp Szarvas, JDC's pioneering summer camp experience for young Jewish leaders from around the world.
Some marriages are a match made in heaven. For Barbi Paszternak-Szendy and her husband Andras Paszternak, their June nuptials were a match made in Szarvas.
"Judafest Juniors is a unique event where positive Jewish identity is created for families and young children through inventive activities," explains Agi Kardos, a mother of two who grew up during the socialist regime in Hungary in a traditional Jewish family—something very unusual for her generation. "Many people who are not ready to attend other kinds of Jewish programs are warmly welcomed here; and it's accessible to non-Jews, giving our community a chance to open up to Budapest's larger society, too."
All year long Henrik Z., 32, who has Down's syndrome and lives with his pensioner mother in Budapest, Hungary, looks forward to the most special week of his summer. That's when he goes to camp Szarvas, where he sees his friends, plays soccer, and celebrates Shabbat with the community he feels closest to.
This June, Kazinczy Street in Budapest's Jewish quarter will come alive with the spirited energy and joy of over 4000 Jews coming together to celebrate the richness of Jewish life in Hungary today.
After her husband's tragic death, 56-year-old Hanna was left to care for her six children and elderly mother alone. Find out how JDC's social relief services in Hungary secured this family's day-to-day survival.
Klara's aggressive breast cancer was diagnosed at a JDC Health Day just in time to receive life-saving treatment. Learn how JDC is helping hundreds of women like Klara access vital health services today.

With the NHL still coping with the deaths of players Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak, the hockey world is reeling with today's tragic news out of Russia about the crash of Jaroslavl Lokomotiv's team flight shortly after take-off. Here's the story, starting with the original report by the Associated Press, as it has unfolded since the news broke this morning.
MOSCOW— The Associated Press
A Russian jet carrying a local ice hockey team crashed Wednesday while taking off in western Russia, killing 36 people and leaving one critically injured, officials said.
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said the Yak-42 plane crashed immediately after taking off from an airport near the city of Yaroslavl, on the Volga River about 240 kilometers northeast of Moscow. It said one person survived the crash with grave injuries.
The ministry said the plane was carrying the Lokomotiv ice hockey team from Yaroslavl.
The team was heading to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where it was to play Thursday against Dinamo Minsk in the opening game of the season of the Continental Hockey League. The CHL is a league of several ex-Soviet nations.
The team is coached by former NHLer Brad McCrimmon and the most up-to-date Jaroslavl roster lists Pavol Demitra, Karel Rachunek, Josef Vasicek, Ruslan Salei and Karlis Skrastins among the players on the team. Former Edmonton Oiler Alexei Mikhnov played with Lokomotiv for the past five seasons, but was not among the players listed on the most current roster.
There are are no details, as of 7:55 MT, as to who was travelling with the team and who the lone survivor was. More to come.
Yahoo! Sports' Dmitri Chesnokov added some clarity through translation Tweeting (@dchesnokov), SovSport is reporting that the lone survivor (at this point) is a crew member. No news about any survivors from #Lokomotiv.
TUNOSHNA, Russia (AP) -- Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry says at least 43 people have died in the crash of a Russian jet carrying a top ice hockey team.
The ministry said the plane was carrying 45 people, including 37 passengers and eight crew. The ministry said all but two people were killed in the crash.
The ministry said the Yak-42 plane crashed immediately after takeoff from an airport near the city of Yaroslavl, on the Volga River about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Moscow.
Daniel Tjarnqvist, who played with the Oilers during the 2006-07 season, is listed as a player with Jaroslavl in a report by World News, but reports are he left the team earlier this summer. No confirmation on that.
Spoke with J.J. Hebert of the Oilers, but still no word if Mikhnov, drafted 17th overall by the Oilers in 2000, was a member of Jaroslavl this season and/or was travelling with the team.
According to Dmitry Chesnokov of the International Sports Press Association, a team official tells Sovetsky Sport "everyone from the main roster was on the plane and four players from the youth team."
Lokomotiv forward Alexander Galimov survived the crash, his agent confirmed to Sovetsky Sport, Chesnokov reports.
Former NHL star Pavol Demitra's agent, Matt Keator, confirmed his client was one of the players killed in the crash.
"This is just awful," Keator said. "He was such a popular guy with everyone he has ever played with."
This from Eetu Huisman (comment 16) :Tjärnqvist signed with Djurgården in June and Mikhnov with Metallurg Magnitogorsk in May, so neither of them was in the plane.
As per Huisman information above, Mikhnov is listed on the Metallurg Magnitogorsk roster: en.khl.ru/clubs/metallurg_mg
Statement from KHL Website:
"Russian hockey has been stunned by news of a plane crash which has killed almost all of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's team as they travelled to Belarus for their opening fixture of the KHL season.
A club spokesman confirmed that the aircraft was carrying the club's players to their game with Dinamo Minsk, which was due to be played on Thursday.
Among those on board was newly-appointed head coach Brad McKrimmon, recently arrived from Chicago Black Hawks to take charge of the team for the 2011-12 season. Two members of the World Championship-winning Czech team of 2010, Jan Marek and Josef Vasicek, were also among those in the crash.
The team's Yak-42 crashed on take-off from Yaroslavl's Tunoshna airport shortly after 4 pm Moscow time. There were just two survivors among the 45 passengers and crew on board, including player Alexander Galimov and Alexander Sizov, a member of the flight crew. Earlier reports had said that 36 of the 37 passengers had died.
Preliminary information from Rosaviatsiya suggests that the plane failed to gain height after leaving the runway and collided with a navigation beacon before coming to earth about 2 km from the airport.
Shocked silence
As news filtered through to Ufa, where the league was celebrating the start of the new season with the traditional rematch of last season's grand final, the game was abandoned.
KHL president Alexander Medvedev interrupted play 15 minutes into the first period to announce the tragedy to a packed arena, which responded in shocked silence.
After a brief meeting between the players and officials of hosts Salavat Yulaev, guests Atlant Moscow Region and representatives of the KHL, the game was postponed.
That decision was greeted with respectful applause from the crowd, while Medvedev went on to pledge his support for the Yarolslavl club.
"We will do all that we can to ensure that top level hockey continues in Yaroslavl and that Lokomotiv remains one of the strongest clubs in the Kontinental Hockey League," he said.
The tragedy brought sympathy and support from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is heading to Yaroslavl for an annual political forum.
His press secretary, Natalya Timakova, announced that the forum's program would change and Medvedev would begin by visiting the scene of the disaster and holding an emergency meeting with senior transport officials.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's transport minister, Igor Levitin, to go straight to the crash site.
International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel said it was "the darkest day in the history of our sport".
"Despite the substantial air travel of professional hockey teams, our sport has been spared from tragic traffic accidents," Fasel added. "But only until now. This is the darkest day in the history of our sport. This is not only a Russian tragedy, the Lokomotiv roster included players and coaches from ten nations."
Fasel will arrive in Russia on Thursday in a pre-arranged visit, and told IIHF.com he would take the opportunity to mourn with the Russian hockey authorities.
The Russian Hockey Federation also published a message of sympathy on its website: "The FHR expresses its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and relatives, fans and the entire hockey community".
Lokomotiv had been traveling to Minsk for its opening fixture against Dinamo, due to be played on Thursday evening.
A decision on whether to play Thursday's other hockey games has not yet been taken. "

Video of the crash scene here: www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/09/07/russia.plane.crash/index.html
NEW YORK (September 7, 2011) -- Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the
National Hockey League, today released the following statement on the
tragedy involving the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey club:
"Though it occurred thousands of miles away from our home arenas,
this tragedy represents a catastrophic loss to the hockey world --
including the NHL family, which lost so many fathers, sons, teammates and
friends who at one time excelled in our League. Our deepest condolences go
to the families and loved ones of all who perished."

Deepest condolences to everyone involved. This is tragic on a nearly unprecedented scale to the hockey world.
September 07 2011, 08:24AM
This is just awful news.
This news is truly sickening to here about anyone. Thoughts to the families
September 07 2011, 08:35AM
Just tragic. I'm at a loss of what to say.
I started crying when I started looking through the names. Hearing kids name's like Daniil Sobchenko, who we just watched at the World Juniors.
September 07 2011, 08:36AM
Terrible, tragic news.
September 07 2011, 08:51AM
Heartbreaking. This offseason has been an unrelenting nightmare.

Tjärnqvist signed with Djurgården in June and Mikhnov with Metallurg Magnitogorsk in May, so neither of them was in the plane.
September 07 2011, 09:30AM
Just a terrible summer for hockey, or sports in general.
I imagine Crosby will be keeping his presser brief this morning. Stuff like possibly sitting out a season dont seem to matter as much anymore.
September 07 2011, 09:32AM
Reports that Salei was awaiting the team in Minsk, and was not on the flight. Can anyone confirm?
Tragic sad terrible news.
My thoughts go out to the families of those who lost a loved one.
Very heartbreaking.
Thanks for providing that information. I hadn't been able to find anything on Mikhnov.
Here is Mikhnov's roster listing with Metallurg.
September 07 2011, 09:49AM
Unbelievable. RIP
My goodness. What a horrible tragedy.
September 07 2011, 09:52AM
Brad McCrimmon evidently perished as well.
September 07 2011, 10:04AM
Condolences to the family, friends and teammates of the players and coaches, and to the members of the flight crew. Another sad day in the world's hockey family...
September 07 2011, 10:05AM
Reports that Salei was awaiting the team in Minsk, and was not on the flight. Can anyone confirm?
Unfortunately, that report was erroneous.
September 07 2011, 10:09AM
Such a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers to all the families. What a shame to lose Brad McCrimmon.
RIP Sarge
September 07 2011, 10:19AM
Initially the Continental Hockey League (KHL) elected to go ahead with the scheduled first match between reigning champions Ufa and last season's runners-up Mytishchi.
But after details of the full extent of the accident were confirmed the match was stopped with five minutes, 16 seconds remaining before the first intermission.
"In such a situation the players of both teams considered the playing after their friends and collegues died to be absolutely impossible," KHL president Alexander Medvedev announced.
September 07 2011, 10:21AM
Unbelievably tragic news. My condolences to the friends and families of all who perished.
September 07 2011, 10:26AM
Add me to the list of shocked. This is so sad.
Unsubstantitated reports are that the plane exceeded the on-board weight allowed resulting in the crash into a radar system on takeoff.
This is just unbelievable! How horrible for their families. I just cant fathom what they are going through and my eyes are tearing from just the thought of it. RIP to all those on board that perished.
Numbing tradgedy !

@Hat Pughes
I have a friend who is a pilot for Westjet. Just last week, he was explaining to me how the first 5 minutes of takeoff are the most dangerous and have the most potential for accident on a flight.. Just eerie.

The saddest off-season in hockey history. I was always a fan of Pavol Demitra. This is just sad.
September 07 2011, 11:39AM
Very, very sad story. Condolences go out to all of the players and their families.
It's terrible that it takes a tragedy like this to conjure up old memories but I got to thinking back about Brad McCrimmon and how much I hated him during his days in Calgary (and Philly, for that matter).
McCrimmon was an excellent defensive defenceman - and tough ... boy was he tough. Kind of dirty-tough (he was a bit of a stick-guy), like Craig Muni, but definitely a warrior.
This has been an awful summer.
September 07 2011, 12:03PM
Seems hard to believe that an aircraft flying at half of the capacity could be too heavy. What a difficult yr its been for the NHL and it's exended family. When it rains, it pours. Prayers for the lives that have been changed forever.
September 07 2011, 12:05PM
according to @SlavaMalamud - NA correspondent for Sports-Express
"The crashed plane was forbidden to use the European Union airspace, deemed too unsafe by the European Air Safety Commission"
what a complete and utter tragedy. RIP
September 07 2011, 12:16PM
A few more former NHLers...
Alexander Karpotsev... Igor Korolev...
Apparently Salei was on the plane...
And Garmilov, the only player to survive, is burned over 90% of his body, including his respiratory system. He's in a coma, and not expected to survive.
What an incredible, sad tragedy. McCrimmon was also one of my faves...
Keeping all players, crew and families in my prayers....
September 07 2011, 12:20PM
my condolences to all affected in tragedies this summer in the world of hockey :(
September 07 2011, 12:26PM
Wow, just... wow.

@everton fc
"And Garmilov, the only player to survive, is burned over 90% of his body, including his respiratory system. He's in a coma, and not expected to survive."
Apparently he died in surgery.. RIP.
September 07 2011, 12:30PM
Unbelievable. We barely finishing mourning these tragedies by the time that another one pops up. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of anybody who was on that plane.
September 07 2011, 12:42PM
Horrible news. Hopefully measures are taken so another incident like this never happens again. Tragic.
September 07 2011, 12:47PM
Yep - just read about Garmilov's passing...
Words fail, hey?
September 07 2011, 12:51PM
My cousin was friends with Brad McCrimmon and my brothers bought a swather from him long ago. He came from a very good family. What a tragic summer. Condolences to all.
Robin will the Nation post a condolence page? The NHL? Hard not to feel nothing for the lives lost. Whether a player or a fan this kind of tragedy is tough to swallow. Tough summer.

Your city building department will have the brochures regarding ADA requirements. They are not just applicable to public sites, but are suitable for private residences also.
: I am looking for help in adding a bathroom to our house, by turning an existing bedroom into a bathroom for a handicap person. I'm interesting in what is nesessary and safety and comfort features. There are suppose to be some OSHA guidelines and requirements, probably mainly ment for institutions, such as hospitals, but had thought even that might help. I am looking for proper placement of fixtures and size, as well as safety bars, etc. I woud appreciate any assistance/ suggestions you would have. We will be adding a new master bedroom to the house, that will be adjacent to the bath.

Skip to comments.Wyoming lawmakers propose bill to nullify new federal gun laws
Posted on 01/10/2013 11:25:41 AM PST by theruleshavechanged
Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
Hot damn! I hope Georgia legislators get such huge cojones as Wyoming! Go go go!!!!!!!!! We need to make the word "Federal - anything" the most vile of words.
Wow. Nullification. Welcome to the south, Wyoming.
Oh, Yes, Wyoming!
It appears the last school shooting in Wyoming was with a bow and arrow.
And this one many years ago...
Nice video!
What a fantastic people & state that is Wyoming!
I find myself in awe over their true patriot spirit, even thou I don't expect this bill to pass. Its mere considerations is a extremely encouraging symbol of a people growing in their will to resist tyranny. Proof that our land is not yet entirely devoid of true patriots.
Let us work to see that theses brave men & women of Wyoming may grow in number and spread in sentiment & cause to other states. While the flame of liberty can never be fully extinguished by tyranny, its brightness is a symbole of hope to men & women yearning to breath free both near and far.
Let that flame glow more brightly in Wyoming, not just as demonstrated by the acts of her leglsator but most of all in the hearts & sentiments of her people. Let us never again yield before the foot of tyranny.
Warn Washington to treed lightly and never again upon me!
This is the cry of a true patriot, a man who's loyalty & devotion is and always has been to the cause of liberty not any particular government.
This is exactly what I have been waiting for. Come on Texas and other states! Make it clear to the Fed that you will not submit to any violation of the 2A/Constitution.
I like this part as well:
"It also includes a provision allowing the Wyoming Attorney Generals office to defend any state resident against any federal firearm ban."
This is great to hear! And exactly what states need to be doing in the face of federal overreach- each & every time. I was very impressed when David Vitter wasted no time after firearms were seized in the aftermath of Katrina.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Let's hope people do all they can to make this one of them!
The day will come when the Federal government will become insolvent or truly tyrannical.
Hopefully, at that time there will be Warrior leaders at the State level that will lead the effort of the several States to remove from the Federal government all unconstitutional powers. i.e. reduce the Fed power by 90% :)
If that doesn't happen then we will descend into a Socialist H*ll or a civil war.
I've always wanted to live in Wyoming.
I hope so too. Born and grew up in GA.
And that bow shooter was full-on crazy train. Aspberger's Syndrome. Hated his father for fathering him. Said in his suicide note that his father should not be allowed to reproduce - ever.
This is an introduction of a bill. It means nothing.
When it is signed into law and passes 10 court challenges 10 years from now, then I'll celebrate.
Sounds good.
We moved here about a year ago and I cannot say enough good things about this state.
Ok -- the winds blow (a lot), but you can just feel freedom in those winds!!
Amen. . .
Why? Did any LEO serve jail time for civil rights infractions?
Not that I know of (I'm not in La.), but it definitely clarified that they would be breaking federal law if they pulled it again. Was this necessary? Shouldn't have been? WILL it stop it from happening again? Maybe not- probably not, but he *did* represent his constituents in good faith instead of pretending not to notice, making some excuse, or changing the subject- which is a helluva lot more than we can say for most of the stuffed shirts in DC. And considering all the worthless legislation they regurgitate every day (when they're working, that is), it was *doing* something.
typo. There shouldn't have been a -?- after "shouldn't have been". It should have been a period- literally & figuratively.
Agreed. It's in the best interest of the federal agents....
I know a state legislator who's going to introduce this bill in his state. It'll be a lot stronger.
"threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition."
They can do it too:
Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the Unites States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a crime.
The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
Bravo1 Everyone in red states should demand their state enact such bills! In NJ it is a waste of time, But those in blue, gun-grabbing states can move to the second Amendment states, form a new union and leave the gun-grabbing states to rot.
This is the way to fight the feds.
Nullification of unConstitutional laws. Yes. Secession to protect an institution like slavery. No.
We still need to work at the federal level to overturn laws infringing on the rights of blue state Americans to defend themselves. Their needs to be more of these cases brought before the Supreme Court.
Those Old Cowboys have the right idea. Take care of a problem before it becomes a big problem. "POWDER RIVER LETER BUCK."
C'mon, stop being a wet blanket! You've got to start somewhere. Encouragement like yours won't get us anywhere...
I disagree, it does mean something. It is better than remaining silent. All conservative States need to take a stand now with similar introductions!
Go for it Wyoming
Yes, and replace it with Feral, a most apropos title.
Read his screed. Don't blame the Aspberger's...it was the disease of liberalism.
It's definately a message that needs to be sent.
Just that it is being introduced is something. It is a start. What would be your solution? Griping on the internet?
"Just that it is being introduced is something. It is a start. What would be your solution? Griping on the internet?"
We should celebrate when it passes. No one knows the legal path beyond that point.
I read his screed.
Whether and what I blame is of no consequence.
The perp blamed the Aspberger's. HE killed because he thought his father should not have reproduced while knowing he (his father) knew that it was possible that his children might have it.
You can claim that it was 'liberalism', but that's not what the perp thought it was.
The perp's "thoughts" didn't get there by themselves....he obviously learned a lot of America hating from somewhere.
Some have called for armed insurrection or revolt - maybe even a McVeigh kind of thing.
This from WY is much better.
A possible, though not plausible scenario:
1. The Governor arrests several Federal agents which would put the fear of God into Federal agents across the state effectively shutting down any new regs.
2. The Feds sue and it goes to the Courts which could take a long time. Eventually the Courts will rule that the state can't do the arresting.
3. THAT's when a strong Governor comes into play. This imaginary Gov. then says, "Then bring your Army and stop me."
4. When the Feds raid the home of a duly-elected Governor and drag him into the streets — then we have the real crisis that we need. The public does not want to see that, I don't think.
After that, the Feds won't have much support and that's when we push them out of the way and get the restrictions removed. No blood spilt.
Would never happen though.

No, that was the humidity where my tea is. I have not yet turned on the AC, which only reaches 1/2 my puerh anyway.
That's good, what was the temperature? If the temperature is above 70 degrees Fahrenheit then I would say, while on the very bottom end of the spectrum, that you don't need to artificially boost temp or add humidification. If the temperature is below 70 Fahrenheit than I would consider adding either a cigar humidifier (the cadillac of cigar humidifiers can be purchased here http://www.aristocrathumidors.com/electronic.htm) or some kind of passive humidification such as the medusa method that I posted a link to in the agin thread.

Icons Reissued: Umbro Classics Recreated by Aaron› 31 Jan 2012
Umbro founder Harold Humphreys was born on this day in 1902, the man who brought football and fashion together and introduced tailoring to the world of sport. Over the years, Umbro have crafted some of the most iconic moments in football's history, kits and products that continue to influence the sport today. It's these items that we're celebrating in our Icons Reissued collection .
A premium collection of some of our most iconic products, reproduced stitch by stitch from the original designs, Icons Reissued are steeped in history and the story of football, but they also look great as modern designs. There's four items in the Icons Reissued collection , here's a little bit on them all:
Crafted from a Victoria blue stonewash twill, this Anthem jacket will forever be associated with English football's greatest every victory. With the England crest proudly embroidered on the chest, the jacket also has red, white and blue ribbed trim on the collar, cuffs and hem.
Another item forever associated with classic England footballing moments, the Mexico 70 jersey looks just as good today as it did over 40 years ago! With a classic crew neck collar, the shirt is crafted from the same ribbed fabric as the original, and features a reproduction of the 'Choice Of Champions' screen print that featured on the hem of the original shirts.
The original inspiration for our celebrated New Blue collection, the classic Umbro drill top was a part of every player's wardrobe and even found its way onto the stage at one of the biggest gigs to ever take place in Manchester. Recreated stitch for stitch, the drill top features an oversized Umbro logo on the chest, and is crafted from the same washed cotton twill as the original.
We've recreated the look of the taped track jacket many times, but this is the original that they're all inspired by! With the same ribbed taping down the sleeves as the original, the Icons Reissued track jacket features a subtle Umbro logo on the chest.
We're really excited by the Icons Reissued collection, and we're sure you're going to be impressed when you see it up close. Happy birthday, Harold Humpreys!

Sarah Pullman | June 5, 2006
By Sarah Pullman • Monday, June 5, 2006 - 11:37
We managed to grab Gregory Benford, one of the speakers at the Skeptic's Conference, over dinner on Saturday. You can listen to the 7-minute podcast here.
You'll hear his explanation of UVB-Chaff – a proposed solution to warming on our planet (also a way to prevent lots of skin cancer). This is likely to generate some ideological controversy, as those who believe we should leave Mother Nature alone take issue with those who believe we have a responsibility to use technology to solve our problems. Check it out and we'd love to hear your thoughts!
Ruben Anderson replied on Permalink
ideology alright
We don't have problems, we are the problem.
Sure, lets fill the air with whatever wonder-powder will control global warming, so we can keep driving and burning coal to our heart's content. I am sure that there will be no nasty side effects, syndromes or birth defects: look at the great successes we had with DDT, thalidomide and flame retardents! As a matter of fact, I am so sure that there will be no side effects that I think we should conduct our first experiment on a global scale, and design an experiment with no 'off' switch!
It is absolutely mind-boggling that this sort of idiocy would be showcased at a skeptic's conference.
Daniel replied on Permalink
This was very interesting, Thankyou.
I wonder if it's possible to utilize planes in this sort of activity - to cancel out some of the damage they do anyway!
It is essential to be sure of its affect on human health - if nanoparticles can be dangerous, this kind of activity needs to be carefully understood.
LScott replied on Permalink
Global Warming Requires More Responsibility
No no no..
I have listened to the podcast, and Gregory Benford's strong point in the conversation is re-iterating facts we already know and accepted. He's pushing generic benefits and using them as a selling point as to why this idiotic idea should be put into place.
There is no 'small test' solution. We are talking about a sketchy experiment on a global scale, with mystery powder able to impregnate biological cells. Is he under the impression that the arctic is completely devoid of life? What about geological and meteorological factors? It's ignorant to think that he can create this experiment under strict confines (if you can think of the arctic – not just Canadian, but northern Europe as well – as small). Mr. Benford openly admits that he doesn't know how the environment and atmosphere will react to this type of experiment.
But, again, his defacto answer is to mention the obviously decrease of skin cancer (sans tanning bed), and just generally "saving the Earth".
I think it's incredibly dangerous that we (as a society and skeptics) should advertise an instant solution to a problem as complex and global warming. The focus needs to be on management – management of resources, funds and technology, and an illustrating actionable steps that individuals can participate in. Not only will allow individuals to feel like they are making a difference, but it places responsibility on everyone for the problem of global warming.
All in all, I admire Mr. Benford's idea, but I don't think it's headed in the right direction.

Did You Know? Countdown to Rosh Hashanah (09/21)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Rosh Hashanah &
the Jewish High Holy Days
Sept 21 : 07 days to Rosh Hashanah*
Did you know that Rosh Hashanah has several names by which it is referred to in the Bible, including Yom Teruah (the Day of the Shofar) and Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the Day of Remembrance)?
The name Yom Teruah refers to the shofar, the hollowed out ram's horn that is blown 100 times on Rosh Hashanah.
The name Yom Ha-Zikkaron reminds Jews of their responsibilities as G-d's chosen people.
Rosh Hashanah begins a 10 day period, known as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im, a time of penitence and prayer that ends with Yom Kippur. Jews worldwide are given these 10 days to repent for their sins and ask G-d for forgiveness.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish High Holy Days. Please join us!
*Rosh Hashanah 5772 begins at sundown on Wednesday September 28, 2011.

Albert King...Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Posted by Dan O'Brien on 4/26/2013 2:46:00 PM.
I was asked recently who Albert King was and why was he inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.My first reaction was "what planet have you been living on these past years" but then realized that unless you were a guitar player or blues freak, you may not know.Albert was one of the most important blues guitarists ever and a major influence for most of the 60s and 70s super star players including,Clapton,Green and especially Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix.Albert was a big,big dude, 6'5" and 250 lbs who played a Gibson Flying V guitar flipped upside down because he was a lefty...To say the least, there wasnt anything subtle about Alberts sound!! He played with a minimum of notes but featured mean,powerful, crushing licks and violent overbends that would demand you sit still and listen ....OR ELSE!...Albert was one the first of the blues masters to cross over into the rock world,headlining at the Fillmore's and other rock clubs in the mid to late 60s,paving the way for all the other Chicago slingers.Albert was the first to bring the blues to the soul music scene,recording a number of records for the legendary Stax Records in Memphis,often using Booker T and the MGs as his backup band.Alberts bonecrunching minimalism is evident in allmost all Classic Rock guitar playing...Stevie Ray Vaughn idolized the big man and the song "Texas Flood," has Alberts technique smeared all over it.....I hear AK's signature licks all over the songs we play on WNLC,he influenced everyone...I often tell my guitar students every great player MUST take Albert King 101, to be a real player....Albert often bragged about his great friend Jimi Hendrix and must have been flattered that Mr Jimi had co-opted so much of his style....Somewhere,somehow,Im sure they are jamming on the otherside of the Rainbow Bridge...if you listen hard!.............

Skip to comments.Dolan: White House invoked support of enlightened Catholics in refusing to budge on mandate
Posted on 03/08/2012 2:13:03 PM PST by NYer
March 8, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) White House staff members have told U.S. bishops that the administration will not consider further revision of the mandate forcing religious employers to pay for birth control, sterilizations, and abortion-inducing drugs, and that the religious leaders should listen to "enlightened" Catholics who accept the president's terms, reports Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
In a letter sent to fellow Bishops last week, the New York archbishop revealed some of what had transpired in a recent meeting involving staff members from the White House and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Our staff members asked directly whether the broader concerns of religious freedom that is, revisiting the strait-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption are all off the table. They were informed that they are, wrote the cardinal, who is the current president of the USCCB.
According to the letter, White House staff also exhorted the USCCB to listen to the enlightened voices of accommodation, and cited a recent editorial in the liberal Catholic publication America which lauded Obamas revised mandate.
The March 5th editorial had claimed that the compromise, which has been rejected by Church officials as insufficient, fundamentally did what Catholic social teaching expects government to do.
Dolan lambasted the White Houses mention of the editorial, accusing the Administration of nominat[ing] its own handpicked official Catholic teachers.
With the President refusing to budge, the cardinal indicated that Church officials would be looking in the direction of legislative and judicial remedies. And while an attempt to nullify the mandate by adding a conscience protection amendment to the federal health care law was recently defeated in the Senate, Dolan said that the bishops' commitment to a legislative remedy remains strong.
However, he added, the courts may offer the most light. The letter cited the recent Hosanna-Tabor Supreme Court ruling which held that churches were exempt from employee discrimination laws when choosing their religious leaders, a ruling Dolan called a dramatic rebuff to the administration.
Our bishops conference, many individual religious entities, and other people of good will are working with some top-notch law firms who feel so strongly about this that they will represent us pro-bono. In the upcoming days, you will hear much more about this encouraging and welcome development, the cardinal wrote.
Some, like America magazine, want us to cave-in and stop fighting, saying this is simply a policy issue, he said, adding that the Bishops were committed to tirelessly defend the timeless and enduring truth of religious freedom.
America is a national weekly magazine published by the American Jesuits .... enough said. St. Ignatius Loyola, pray for them!
Enlightened Catholic = non-Catholic. Period.
that the religious leaders should listen to enlightened Catholics who accept the presidents terms, reports Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
Well its is likely Satan accepts the president's terms. I doubt the religious leader will listen based on that either.
"Enlightened" = "Fallen Away and Don't Really Give A Rip"
When this White House talks about "enlightened" anyone, they are talking about those who have come around to Lucifer's thinking, evolution, humanism, and throwaway values. They aren't talking about the intellectualism of high conscience.
Catholic Bishops PROMOTED Obamacare...getting what they deserve.
About time they stood up and acted like men as well as Bishops.
The Church should flex it's muscle by ex-communicating a few CINO politicians. I would start with the biggest mouth first.
Doesn't the commie Chinese government maintain its own "Catholic" church, complete with government approved priests and bishops?
Enlightened = agrees with Barry
"Enlightened" = set the broiler on "deep fat fry" in the hereafter.
The Catholic Bishops did indeed promote Obamacare and indeed they did get stung.
They had no idea what they were promoting, and who would have thought that Catholics in Government would back Obama instead of Jesus Christ.It shows how sick these politicians are that they sell their soul to this hybrid Satan's accomplice.
I too believe it is time the Bishops started playing hard ball. Star telling these Apostate catholics that they can no longer receive the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, since the do not bvelieve the teachings of the Catholic Church and would rather stand behind this Muslim Devil.
You can ALWAYS find a useful idiot somewhere to parrot lib propaganda.
Especially when the media DOESN'T DARE to ask the obvious questions.
Unless the statement is about GAYS, of course.
Hear James Madison, the "father" of the Constitution:
"Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorantthey have been cheated; asleepthey have been surprised; dividedthe yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson? ... the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government, they should watch over it ... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free."
This isn't an anti-Catholic stance, however, I find it hypocritical that Catholics are up in arms over this. Let me explain: First of all they vote in droves for the Democratic party, which is the party of pro-abortion, then they overwhelmingly support Romney, who also was pro-abortion. So, what's their problem? Of course, we know this is an attack on the 1st Amendment, but, I'm just making some logical observations here.
Agreed. The Bishops appear to have out smarted themselves.
No compromising with Obama. Just as well, since he's proven himself to be a double-crosser and a president who exhibits utter contempt for the First Amendment.
Time for USCCB to sue. And no more initiatives to make compromises with snakes in future.
The worst part was that the American Catholic hierarchy was quite content to let their flock be forced into this nonsense, and only made noise when THEY were forced into it. As a Roman Catholic, I think I can safely say there are no future saints or doctors of the Church in this group; they have led the Church into a forty-year decline from which it will unlikely recover. The Church will always survive, because Christ said so Himself, but it will never recover to it's prior strength - it has already shed millions of souls through the bureaucratic bumbling.
>Enlightened Catholic = non-Catholic. Period.
If the stories that 98% of catholic women use contraceptives that some point in their lives is true... then there aren't enough "true" Catholics to make a difference when it comes time to vote.
Personally, I want to beat Obama and this issue is going to drive a lot of women into his camp. Face it, it's better to cut our loses now and revisit this issue after the election.
Cardinal Dolan:
It is time to call these enlightened Catholics what they are.
Episcopalians. A religion founded by a man who beheaded a number of his wives for failing to bear a son.
Thank you.
Poor catechesis ... call it what you will ... many catholics shun the teachings of their church as outdated and/or antiquated. The church, in her great mercy, attempts to educate them through whatever means are available. You know the expression: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink" So it is in all churches, including the Catholic Church. The approach is one of charity towards members in general until they recognize contraception as a sin and bring it to confession.
In a sense, the HHS mandate has provoked a moment of awakening for many catholics who have contracepted for many years. The eyes of some will be opened while the others, like Sebelius & Pelosi, will remain shut. At best, we can only pray for all of them.
I'm sure that most Catholics aren't against contraceptives. In fact, the day of the large Catholic family has gone the way of the dinosaur. I have many Catholic friends, and their arguments against the Church teachings on the use of contraceptives is valid. Many have said it isn't the church who has to feed, clothe and educate these kids. Neither is it the church who has to put up with stair-step kids, which doesn't allow for parents bonding with each child because they have too many to care for. This is logical, and should be each person's decisions - not the church - nor the government.
Having said that - the Bible is very plain on many subjects, and abortion is one of them. Jesus said "suffer the little children unto me, and suffer them not." Of course, I know that aborted babies are in heaven, but, these little tykes have never had the chance to know the Lord through their faith - I'm not even sure where I stand when it comes to rape and incest. I've never had to face that decision, nor know anyone who has -so, I guess I would say that adoption would be the best scenario - murder is murder, and the pro-choice people will one day answer to someone other than the government for this.
The fact that they tend to vote D is true and it drives me crazy!
Is that your determination and, if so, please cite the scripture on which it is based?
Actually, large families with "stair-step" kids have an advantage. There is more "bonding" and love to go around.
Catholic teaching on this issue is logical. God is the author of life.
"There is another reason why contraception actually leads to more abortions. There is an underlying link, or mentality, between the two. This mentality views human life as something that is not always welcome and, when unwelcome, can be disposed of".
Cardinal Dolan, you have more power over many of these politicians than anyone. Excommunication! Otherwise, I'm not impressed.
I am not sure I totally agree with you, but I do admit the Church is too much interested in social engineering by the Government and not enough interested in saving the souls of the members it has.
Pelosi and Sebelius should be first, since they tout themselves as "enlightened Catholics". And then the bishops should point out that while they personally have mostly been wimps, they are now called to lead, which means, "get out in front, or resign".
At the same time as they oppose this unconstitutional usurpation of the First Amendment, they need to instruct people who still consider themselves Catholics that this contraception business, despite what the "98%" think, is just a handy baseball bat that Obama is using to bludgeon the Church into accepting that his version of The State is supreme over everything on earth and in heaven. Also, that he picked the Catholic Church as a fat, dumb, and slow-moving high-value target. A reasonable choice, based on past performance.
Every American should realize that this is really an assault on every American's conscience, regardless of religion, along with all religions, even those that have blessed birth control and abortion. Obama put the frontal assault back under the radar after the first day, when he saw news conferences with Protestants, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and other religions pointing out that their religions, and personal conscience in general, are in the crosshairs, too.
So Plan B became reframing this as merely an "insurance issue", and the state will consult with its house CINOs for something that doesn't sound so blatantly threatening to everyone's freedom. But the message is still plain, the Obama regime will not submit to any claim of religious or conscientious freedom, or any piece of parchment. When published in the Federal Register, this "simple" piece of rulemaking becomes another one of his supreme forces of the universe.
He's offering a tiny fig leaf of cover to these pesky theocrats, but only because his word is still supreme, and he's got bigger fish to fry than just the First Amendment.
Or a bad Catholic. To Maobama and his fellow libs the only good Catholic(or Protestant for that matter) is a bad Catholic or bad Protestant..
The 98% number comes from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the "research arm" of Planned Parenthood. It's hardly an unbiased source.
The 98% includes women who have used contraception at any point in their lives, and it also includes as "contraception" NFP and calendar rhythm, both of which the Catholic Church views as morally acceptable in some circumstances. A woman could obey Catholic teaching perfectly through her entire life, and still be counted as part of the "98%".
In other words, it's pretty much a meaningless number.
Face it, its better to cut our loses now and revisit this issue after the election.
For some of us, Obama's penchant for ignoring the Constitution and ruling like a strutting tinhorn dictator isn't an "optional" issue we can just sort of ignore until after the election.
Actually, the USCCB opposed Obamacare before its passage for the same reasons as now.
My exhusband came from a large Catholic family, and, while there were pockets of bonding - depending upon the ages - the older ones did not bond well with the younger ones, and his poor mother was overwhelmed. So, I talk from my own experiences. There is also a lot of jealousy to go around. I saw it all.
"Enlightened" means "doesn't actually believe". The libs don't mind "identity" Christians and Jews, who make no attempt to walk the walk. But, for those Christians and Jews who really believe scripture and believe they must live by it the libs have only contempt and murderous thoughts.
That's very unfortunate, but these types of problems can exist in families of any size, human nature being what it is.
If you're suggesting that some of the people in the family you refer to shouldn't have been born so that family life might possibly have been more pleasant for everyone else in the house, I doubt a single one would volunteer to be the person who was nonexistent for the convenience of the others.
And more to the point, God obviously intended their existence, since HE created them, body and soul.
"Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee..."
I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. I still have a great rapport with my ex's family. I was merely pointing out some of the things I saw - nothing more, nothing less. Yes, some of the same things do take place in smaller families, but, I was commenting on my experience. Don't try to put words in my mouth that weren't intended.
Then what was the point of your post?
After your comment: "I have many Catholic friends, and their arguments against the Church teachings on the use of contraceptives is valid.", you relate an anecdote that portrays a large Catholic family in a negative light.
Put the two statements together and the implication is that contraceptives are an antidote to the problem.
I am from a big Catholic family of "stair-step kids," and we're all close as hell. For your reference, my youngest sibling is still in first grade (homeschooled, all of us were), and there are homeschooled families of 10 kids at our parish, so I would say "going the way of the dinosaur" is a severe over-statement. There aren't "too many to care for," as you put it. It can be a sacrifice, as you don't get as much "stuff" as an only child, but all in all its a better experience because you learn to put up with less and to get along with people.
"Im not even sure where I stand when it comes to rape and incest."
Let me tell you where you should stand, buddy. Murder is murder, like you said a couple of sentences down in your post.
I'm not a BUDDY. I'm female, and was just making observations from my past. There are exceptions to every case, of course. And, don't tell me what to say or think - buddy! What are you - the moral police? Are you sure you aren't a democrat? They like to tell others what to think feel and do.

You sure like to keep things going, don't you? I merely said I didn't know how I felt about pregnancy from rape or incest. Of course, the unborn is innocent in all of this, and NO, I don't advocate killing the unborn.

Lead Essay
Bourgeois Dignity: A Revolution in Rhetoric
by Deirdre McCloskey
October 4, 2010
In this month's lead essay, Deirdre McCloskey summarizes the argument of her forthcoming book, Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World. She argues that while the modern world rode an economic tide, the tide did not have economic causes. Changes in thinking and, yes, in rhetoric did the real work. Neither thrift, nor greed, nor the Protestant ethos are at the heart of this transformation, which brought material prosperity to whole classes that had never before known it. A variety of possible causes must be dismissed, she argues, from foreign trade, to legal institutions, to coal. The dignity and liberty of the bourgeoisie are the keys to economic transformation.
Why Economics MUST Explain the Modern World
by Gregory Clark
October 6, 2010
Gregory Clark argues that cultural or intellectual developments, like the rise of the bourgeois virtues, ultimately can't explain the modern world. Not only were such virtues around long before the Industrial Revolution, but they have come and gone throughout many different societies over thousands of years. Why, then, did the Industrial Revolution only happen so recently, and only once? Worse, if we accept that cultural changes brought modern prosperity, we face the prospect that future changes in intellectual fashion may rob us of prosperity as easily as it was bestowed. This he finds both unfortunate and, thankfully, unlikely.
Don't Dismiss the Materialist Explanation
by Matt Ridley
October 8, 2010
Matt Ridley makes two connected points: First, surges in creativity and innovation are far from unique. They can be observed throughout history, and they are usually connected to increases in trade and specialization. In this sense, Britain during the eighteenth century was not exceptional.
Second, however, Britain was exceptional in another respect – it had large reserves of coal, and it began putting them to use. Cheap energy helped ensure that the boom in innovation didn't die out. Entrepreneurs won out against plunderers in part because they had this resource at their disposal, and because they could make the case for the benefits of innovation so easily. It was only after the switch to a coal-driven economy that wages finally began to rise for the typical British worker. They continue to do so today thanks to coal and to other sources of cheap energy that have since been discovered and exploited.
Unleashing Creative Development
by Jonathan Feinstein
October 11, 2010
Jonathan Feinstein suggests that the revolution in human creativity is still underway, and that we have not yet fully recognized what it means to be creative. The science of creativity, he argues, is key here, as the creative process is very different from what most people imagine it to be.

"I purchased this bag for use on a summer vacation. I was really disappointed from the get go because the bag itself is so shapeless and limp even though it like it might have some structure in the pictures. I have found myself constantly digging for things that are lost in the bottom and have found the pockets inside to be pretty useless other than the zipper pocket. The bag just keeps stretching out! I usually love my DSW purchases but this one sadly didn't cut it. I will look for a straw bag that is constructed of something with more structure to it than this mere flimsy paper."

Woman labeled "idiot" & "vandal" for Obama sticker on vehicle
A harassing Post-it note left on a local woman's car has her saying "enough is enough."
NEW BERN - Cathy O'Brien lives on a quiet street in the historic district of New Bern, Craven County. She's a public but reserved supporter of the Democratic party and said the harassment from the opposition has gone too far. "Can't people look at each other and disagree and we can talk with each other rather than going around and doing rude things like this?" said O'Brien.
In early January, O'Brien was heading out for the day when she noticed a note stuck to her passenger side rear view mirror in her driveway. The note reads as follows:
"I just wanted to let you know that someone vandalized your car by slapping an Obama sticker on it. The last thing you want to be doing is driving around all day looking like an idiot. Take care, A Good Samaritan."
O'Brien told NewsChannel 12's Anna Bulszewicz, "There are people like me, we are polite, we are courteous and civil. We don't go around hanging notes on people's cars saying they look like an idiot."
The local community volunteer said she placed the the Obama/Biden sticker on her vehicle months before the presidential election in November 2012. She wonders why someone would target her vehicle months after the election.
In addition to receiving what O'Brien calls a "premeditated, arrogant" note, she said it was a bold move to place the Post-it on her vehicle, on her property.
O'Brien filed an informal complaint at the local police department and to this day has no clue who placed the note. She says, "I don't want to know who did it."
