Why aren't heads rolling at the IRS?
Getting rid of incompetent -- or dishonest -- government officials shouldn't be this hard.
Lerner was placed on administrative leave Friday, one day after refusing to answer questions before a congressional committee investigating the IRS' action. Acting Commissioner Daniel Werfel asked her to resign, but Lerner refused, according to an account Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, gave the Washington Post.
For now, Lerner, who has worked for the government for 34 years, will continue to collect her salary and benefits despite some members of Congress believing that she lied to them. They also were steamed that Lerner originally disclosed the Tea Party targeting by having a friend ask her a question about it during a news conference.
Moreover, Lerner's version of the story of how the IRS came to target Tea Party groups has earned a "bushel of Pinochios" from the Washington Post's Fact Checker. She had argued that the agency was inundated with applications from groups seeking so-called 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status in 2010, but the "real jump" in applications didn't occur until after the IRS began targeting conservative groups.
Though members of Congress are pressing for "heads to roll" at the IRS, including Lerner's, that might not happen. Most workers who did the targeting are covered by civil service protection for federal employees that could make it difficult to terminate them. As Politico pointed out, no federal workers have been reprimanded yet in connection with the targeting.
To be clear, a legitimate concern applies to 501(c)(4) groups, which are supposed to promote social welfare, though it's not clear what that actually means. A column in The New York Times called the IRS scandal "at best stupid, and at worst alarming." But even gross incompetence doesn't excuse Lerner's actions or those of the IRS employees who used political considerations to improperly target groups.
As respected tax journalist David Cay Johnston recently noted: "Only a person lacking a sense of honor and integrity would cling to their job in the face of the horrendous damage caused to the agency they work for, to her superiors and to the welfare of the Republic if her mistakes prompt even more IRS budget cuts."
Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment rights when lawmakers tried to question her Thursday. Some, such as Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who heads the powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, have argued that she waived her right against self-incrimination by denying all wrongdoing.
One thing's for sure: This scandal isn't going to blow over as soon as President Barack Obama would like.
Follow Jonathan Berr on Twitter @jdberr.
Heads aren't rolling because 90% of the media is complicit and not demanding accountability.
A vast majority of Americans probably haven't even heard about the scandal because news headlines are about gay boy scouts, Angelina Jolie's lady parts, and North Korea shooting off bottle rockets.
This is totally expected. For the last twenty years all hiring and promotions within the IRS was based totally on race (not white) and gender (not male). Hiring without any consideration of ability ends with this type of action. I bet 95% of IRS employees voted for Oboma, so they would use their jobs to protect him
To almost quote Richard Nixon, the American people need to know their President isn't a crook. Well, we know how that ended. Do we really want to believe that the IRS did these things and white house aids knew of it, but not BO? Our US embassy in Benghazi comes under attack and there's not even a standard US Marine detachment at that embassy to defend it, AND no help is sent? Somali pirates snatch up ship after ship and the world is powerless is stop it or send troops in there to clean the place out? A few strategic air strikes might make them think a tad harder about the next ship. BO pulls Holder's strings and the DOJ jumps? To say it plain----things just aren't right. It's far more than just the IRS. The IRS is a symptom not the problem. The problem is our lack of control of the place. Years ago when there was talk about IRS control, congress didn't want to touch it. They were afraid of an audit, AND the IRS is going to monitor the ACA. This will be cute.
Democrats ordered these Audits of campaign donors and Obama enemies. More will come out. He not only knew, like Nixon, he ordered it, and is lying about it.
Otherwise, just pull the audits and FIRE everyone that did them, then their bosses, strip them of their pensions and send them to jail. Then we can investigate who leaked tax returns. More Felonies.
The I.R.S., Benghazi, D.O.J.and A, P. and Fox scandals are all the more reasons for smaller government and term limits. Obama, H. Clinton, Holder, and Lerner are creating plausibility and deniably to all questions referring to these scandals. As a supervisor, (since retired), I was held responsible for all workings (good or bad) of my subordinates. It was my JOB to know the answers of every detail of their performances in my department for this was called leadership and supervision. If "I didn't know"...the policy was an investigation with possible termination. Not knowing these answers would be considered Derelict of Duty and/or Negligence and inexcusable. This being said, to have these officials claiming "I don't know" to the Congressional Committee is an outrage to the American People with or without knowledge of the incidents brought forward and they should be held accountable. Denying security, ordering a Stand-down to military personnel for protection of Americans when protection was needed , "Targeting " organizations for political gain, abusing subpoena powers of records to probe the press for information, and the abuse the Constitution is unacceptable of ANY official holding the trust of the American people.
As President Truman said "The buck stops here." Obama, Clinton, Holder , Lerner and any other supervisors involved should all be held accountable to include termination and jail time for all these incidents. The people want the truth and the questions answered. This is unacceptable workings of our government and the overreaching needs to stop.

My dad used to own a pickup truck and he would let us ride in the back of it. No harm, we're kids, we can take the bumps of the road. My dad also didn't let us ride in a dog cage like these idiots did their daughter.
This is a photo from a driver who happened to be on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Sunday evening and witnessed a girl in the back of a pickup truck in a dog cage. The girl was in the cage with a dog.
Police responded to the 911 calls and pulled the truck over. Apparently the girls mom let her ride in the back because her daughter, who's 10, ASKED if she could ride in the cage because the dog was crying and she wanted to comfort it.
The mom and her boyfriend, who's truck they were riding in, were both arrested on felony child endangerment charges.
Seriously HOW do you think this is ok? "Sure honey, we're just floating down the Interstate, just get on up in that cage and calm down Baxter". Just when you think the

#the thing about Tony Stark is that he cares too much so he pretends he doesn't care at all
He doesn't let his mind go there because he can't. Because he still has a job to do and Stiles is probably fine and it's not like it's the first time he's ever run off anyway.
So he doesn't let himself think about it because if he does, he won't be able to get himself off the floor and out of the liquor cabinet.
But in this moment, this second, he lets himself dwell on the fact that his only son, his beloved son, might be dead.
So I don't think Derek told the beta pups about Scott's betrayal. It would have been easy enough, with the hunters searching every square mile of Beacon Hills, to tell them not to go near Scott or Stiles under the pretense of keeping Scott and Stiles out of the line of fire, and I don't think Isaac would have gone to Scott the way he did if he'd known that Scott was working with Gerard.

Hi, I'm just wondering what you'd recommend as a substitute for sorghum flour? It's more or less impossible to find out here in Australia. (We grow it, but it pretty much all goes into making the ethanol for E10 petrol.) I've got your cookbook with the flour substitution chart, but I didn't know if there'd be one in particular you'd use above the others, if you had to. (I don't have teff, montina or mesquite flours either.)
Thanks so much for answering that question about grain-fed beef and chickens.
It really is logical to realize we don't eat the stomach of these animals! I
keep getting this question all the time!
I love the way this column is shaping up but do have one suggestion, can
you please use a large type size? It is extremely difficult to read in the
present form and a real pain to keep changing it on my computer. Am wondering
if others feel the same way???
I'm one of those who really loved fruitcake so these will be on my list to make. My husband and I watch the History and Discovery channels and found out on one of their programs there is only one place in all of the US that makes the colored candies that go into all fruit cakes made in the US. The comany is called Paradise and it's in Florida. Just FYI.
I was wondering if the recipe (or any recipe for that matter) would change if I usewd brown rice flour instead of white rice flour.
Hello! I do not know if I am celiac or not because I started the diet and have never been tested. I have so very many sensitivities, and rice seems to be worse than wheat. Do you know of any websites that would help me? I just discovered there is a potato milk substitute which I am very excited about. Have you heard anything about it? It is dry milk.
Thank you for all you do.

The Captains are crazy young. They had positions to fill from the 2008 team that was one agonizing minute from reaching the NCAA Division III Final Four.
Plus, Shaw has coached long enough to know that assuming results, particularly from college kids, is a guaranteed recipe for indigestion.
"If you can teach young people to be selfless and appreciate being a part of something greater than yourself, you've got a chance," Shaw said. "I think we've got a chance."
Three weeks into the season, CNU appears to have picked up where it left off a year ago. The Captains are 5-1 and ranked sixth in the nation, according to the latest soccer coaches association poll.
They are deep and athletic, a freewheeling band of brothers who live and train together and seem to be unaware that they shouldn't be this good this soon.
"Expectations are high, based on what they did last year," Shaw said. "I think that's added to the effort and what they're willing to give."
The Captains host Marietta College of Ohio tonight at 7 as part of the abbreviated Joe Pombriant/CNU Classic (one team backed out late in the summer and Shaw was unable to find a replacement, so CNU will play only one game this weekend).
CNU's present success starts with consecutive top-shelf recruiting classes. The roster is typically Peninsula-heavy, only deeper and more athletic. Nearly all of the Captains' contributors attracted at least some Division I interest, but landed on Shoe Lane because of prior relationships, success, facilities or interest in the school.
Shaw mined his connections with the Williamsburg-based Virginia Legacy Soccer Club and landed 11 players from the club in the past two years. Their talent and familiarity with each other helped compensate for their inexperience at the college level.
Shaw supplemented local recruiting with a few players from out of the area and out of state.
Nine of 11 starters in last weekend's tournament at Virginia Wesleyan were freshmen and sophomores, as were nine of 10 reserves who played. Only five of 30 players on the roster are upperclassmen.
"There were a few nerves at the beginning," said captain Clif Kipper, a sophomore-eligible midfielder from Gloucester. "But there's a lot of talent and everybody came together pretty well."
Sophomore forward Winston Mattheisen is emblematic of the Captains' youth movement. The former Jamestown High star led CNU last year with 16 goals and 35 points as a freshman and again is the leading scorer thus far this season, with four goals and nine points.
"I thought I would just play a role with the team last year," Mattheisen said. "I didn't expect to get as much playing time as I did. But we had some injuries and things just kind of fell my way."
The Captains' confidence also comes, in part, from their only loss. CNU fell to defending NCAA champ and D-III power Messiah (Pa.) 2-1 in the Virginia Wesleyan tournament, in a game that was eerily similar to their NCAA final-eight matchup from a year ago.
Messiah scored late in regulation to tie, then won in overtime. Messiah returned the bulk of its NCAA title team, while CNU had seven new starters and only two upperclassmen on the field for much of the game.
"If we lose 2-1 to the national champs now," Kipper said, "imagine what we can do another month down the line."
CNU's depth has permitted Shaw to play more than 20 guys per game, unprecedented for him. Competition in practice keeps players sharp and motivated, while the prospect of playing time keeps them happy. They have withstood injuries and illness with zero drop-off.
That's why the Captains believe they belong in the top 10 and that a deep NCAA run is realistic.
"There's no doubt in my mind," Kipper said. "At the beginning of last year, no one would have thought that we could go as far as we did, but the realization came about because of what we did and how hard we worked. If we continue to get better, we can win a championship."

UNDATED (WHTC) - In this festive holiday season, students and staffers of two Southwest Michigan schools are in mourning.
Visitation is Monday from 2-4 PM and 6-9 PM in Holland's Christ Memorial Church for Joshua Hoppe, a 30-year-old Hamilton High teacher and coach killed this past Wednesday when his car skidded under a semi's trailer as the rig pulled out from the Tulip City Truck Stop onto M-40. A funeral service at that church is on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 PM.
Meanwhile, visitation is today and tonight at Langeland's Kalamazoo Westside Chapel for Anneka and Landon Vels, with a 11 AM service tomorrow at Calvary Bible Church in Kalamazoo. The 17- and 13-year-old siblings from Otsego died when the Vels' van, heading for classes at Heritage Christian Academy, slid off of G Avenue in Oshtemo this past Tuesday, struck and tree and burst into flames.

You know what I love? When someone posts art they didn't do without mentioning it isn't theirs, without bothering to source it (or hit it on some reverse image search to find the source) and on top of that not even bothering to look at the signature that's sitting right there on his shoulder and run it through bloody Google.
Nice job being a bag of reproductive organs.
and then what bothers me most is that reposts get more notes than the original posts
seriously, this is stealing
Thanks for supporting the person that basically told me I shouldn't reproduce
This is a fucking image on the internet that I can't read the signature of and don't know the source of
lmao its a fucking picture i didnt know it was ILLEGAL ppl do that all the time
he didnt fucking mean to take it without permission or w/e sigh
Oh you! Just so you know, it actually IS illegal! There exists a multitude of treaties on intellectual property and even an organization concentrating on that, called World Intellectual Property Organization XD And I'm pretty sure, wherever you're from, that you country did sign at least one of those treaties:))

These Rain Funny poems are examples of Funny poems about Rain. These are the best examples of Rain Funny poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I know my supervisor thought I lied, the day I said.
The reason that I had been out was I was stuck in bed.
I tried explaining desperately the rain had been to blame.
He looked at me like I was nuts, it really was a shame.
I told him that the night before it had rained cats and dogs.
So much that by the morning time the flooding hit the bogs.
And seeing how my little house is near a swampy creek.
It wasn't long before my house had sprung a great big leak.
His face got twisted when I said my house got washed away.
And pretty soon my house was floating on Big Hollow Bay.
I told him in great detail how the planks began to break.
And how I wound up floating in my bed in Big Bear Lake.
I finally was rescued by the firemen in town.
It took them many hours just to pull my bed in ground.
So like I said, I told him that the rain had been to blame.
Unfortunately, I don't think that he believes my claim.
Every fall the birds begin to fly south for the winter.
This one particular bird hated the journey and would do almost anything to get out of it.
He decided to wait until the very last possible minute and told the rest of the flock
that he would stay behind for 4 more weeks and that he would catch up to them later.
Four weeks later the snow began to fall and the little bird thought it best to finally leave.
After about 6 hours into flying, it started to rain and the rain turned into ice on his little wings. The birds wings froze up and he fell out of the sky straight in to a barn yard.
Freezing and almost dead, the little bird was lying there barely breathing when out from behind the barn a horse walked up to the little bird, squatted and crapped all over the poor thing. The little birds only thought was that he never emagined ever dying like this.
After a few minutes the manure started to warm the little fella and he started to move around and began sing-ing his little heart out.
A big cat came running from the house to investigate where all the noise was comming from. He dug in to the pile of crap until he found the little bird. He cleaned him off and then ate him.
There are three morals to this story
(1) Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who takes your crap is your friend
And (3) Whenever you are rolling with excitement;
even if its in a big pile of crap, Keep your big mouth shut.
Standing in line at Wally-world I suffered through this exchange of views.
The cashier asked the man in front of me, "Which of these will you choose?
Paper or plastic for you, sir?" and with a snarl he said, "Plastic will do for me!"
Then he proceeded to proclaim for all to hear, the plight of the forest tree!
"Don't you know that cuttin' down all them trees will leave the forests bare,
Deprivin' them poor hooty owls of a place to roost - now don't you really care?
Just think of them dwindlin' rain forests that supports monkeys, birds and such!
But them greedy companies keep cuttin' and sawin' - they're so outta touch!"
The gum-chewing cashier looked him dead in the eye and had this to say:
"My old man has been a lumberjack fer twenty years and works hard fer his pay!
I don't give a hoot about yer owls, yer rain forests or yer ring-tailed monkeys!
I ain't politically correct and you can relay that to all yer tree-huggin' junkies!"
I clutched my loaf of Wonder bread trying to look nonchalant, staring into space.
(We were in an express lane - he had two full carts, showing his lack of grace!)
Should this get out of hand I expected to hear, "Cleanup on Express Lane Five!"
I was beginning to wonder if both parties were apt to come out of this alive!

I remember it like it was yesterday and I think in fact it was
A beautiful spring morning that could not go wrong because
The sun it was shining brightly way up in the sky
So I thought I would cut the lawn or at least give it a try
The lawn mower was pristine clean as I took it from the shed
The extension lead I uncoiled and to the mower it led
I started on the back lawn to mow my way around
I listened to my IPod as I pushed the mower across the ground
The cloud began to gather the light began to fade
It was just as if I managed to walk into the shade
Now the wind began to rise blowing grass cuttings in the air
I looked up to heaven thinking this just isn't fair
A rainy may day was about to ruin my big mowing plan
And as the heavens opened suddenly I ran
Gathering up the mower the extension cable to
Emptying the mower box in to the recycling bin it flew
Then back into the shed all the bits and pieces went
As I ran back in the rain in the garage door I leant
So my mowing day was over the rain was pounding down
Even with my IPod on I had a dreadful frown
A rainy May day washed away my plans to cut the lawn
Yet I know I'll get another chance a dry May day will dawn
Till then the lawn will stay half cut at least until it's dry
Then I will get the lawn mower out and have another try
So what's your status,
Are you here to stay, like old Aunt Gladys?
- To rain and rain until we're glad it's
Not for you to own the day,
But eventually must fade away
Before the steady strugglings of the sun
Which must break through once they've begun
To tear apart your greyish gloom
And give the sunlight proper room
To push along those friendly, fluffy clouds
Through blue skies where you're not allowed.
So go thy way, ignoble cloud!
Carry off that misty shroud
Below which you have so confined us,
And let us put thy wet behind us
And revel in the newborn sun,
It's warmth welcome to everyone.
You overstay your station here
Far beyond what would appear
A decent spate of soft rainfall;
Your prescence doth begin to pall
When you hover close from day to day.
All caught beneath wish you away,
And confer on you non-gratis status,
O aggravating nimbostratus!
Once my leather shoes made me proud with their softness and luster,
but after eleven months of heavy usage they have lost all glamor;
even small thorns and nails can penetrate their worn-out soles;
ah, squeaky, squeaky shoes...you annoy me when steady rain falls!
Rain ©
I walk on slick shine streets
in the night with my lover.
Freshly out of bed and ravenous
for other food, he pauses and
licks the tears and rain drops
from my face.
Rain in its many moods
quickens to sweep the earth and
skies clean.
Settles on the skin like a damp
kiss. Cold, warm, sweet, clean,
sharp, rain.
Is designer bottled water
merely rain drops from afar?
The dog romps through the rain,
in his perfect raincoat, oblivious
to the wet.
Blinking owlishly when a drop
should fall into his eye.
Mysterious primates of the forest
sit forlornly, beneath the
umbrella leaf.
Forever patient as the skies
rupture with a torrential deluge.
Human-tender eyes reflect their
disgust and sadness at the wet,
messy coats they must wear.
The equine turn their haunches
to the storm to show their scorn
for nature's tantrum.
Cats run for cover, sit
majestically removing the
wet rain from their person with a
wet tongue.
Wild fowl dance across the circle
patterns of the pond's face,
beating their wings and singing.
They frolic and dive celebrating
the sublime circumstance of
being wet.
Man spends energy and money
to keep himself dry and safe
from the rain, darting from
doorway to doorway.
What does he fear? He won't
melt if he gets soaked, he won't
become ill or grow fins, and he
just might get clean.
Snow is rain in its wedding attire;
no two brides alike.
The rain drop falls into a rivulet
of other rain drops atop the
The rivulet runs into the creek,
the creek into a stream.
The stream rushes to the river
and the river falls into the sea.
The rain drops turn to salty tears
as the journey ends.
It is said that chickens, if left out
in the rain, will lift their heads up
to the sky and watch the rain
until they drown.

~~Spring Rain~~
A drought has been declared, no hose pipes can we use
There has been such light rain for two years, but I think it is a ruse.
The day the drought was declared the heavens opened up
They have not stopped precipitating; one certainly dare not look up.
The water flows as free as lager at a barbecue
Constantly pouring, persisting it down, and the same problems ensue.
We are drenched in all sorts as drains do rise, and rivers flood their banks
But the drought warnings still apply there are supposed empty water tanks.
The spring rain is falling not like tears on babies' cheeks
But pouring and pouring constantly, and has been now for weeks.
Still the drought does linger but I think I know the ruse
They will put the bloody price up, and watch us blow a fuse.
There's black storm clouds outside
and if they should let go
it won't be rain reigning down,
it will be the ice cold snow.
Ominous and black the clouds
that blanket the sky overhead
and if their flurries they let fly
I think I'll hide in bed.
Black clouds hover overhead,
threatening and dark.
Time to go find the shovel in case
Old Man Winter leaves his mark.
I do not mind the rain too much.
It has it's uses , true.
The snow has no appeal for me.
I'll be glad when winter's through.
Saturday, rain or sun, garage sale,
moving from my old heritage apartment.
Years of collecting, some must go,
things that have given me such contentment.
Two china cabinets, one from Mom,
one from Grandma, remembering with a smile.
Perhaps, I can somehow fit them in,
my lofty new pad, wall to wall china cabinet style.
As I go through my many things and stuff,
I have to laugh and say, "why did I ever get that!"
Clothing gothic, retro and vintage lace,
shoes, handbags, jewelery and even some hats.
A broken and battered old filing cabinet,
it holds years of poetry written from my heart.
Need to find a new filing system for sure,
should I sell some." Oh no we can never be apart!"
Vases and vases, colourful and quite lovely,
dusty on my window sill for years, quite useless.
Porcelain dishes from Grandma, quite pretty,
in my cupboards for years, lost in forgetfulness.
Old movies, much watched, VHS outdated,
music and well lets say it, just loads, tons of stuff.
How does one say goodbye? Time to shed the old,
garage sale, Saturday, rain or sun." This will be rough!"

Unfortunately, there are only eight episodes left of Breaking Bad and the saga of Walter White. With just about two months until season 5 begins, AMC has finally rolled out a brief teaser and new poster for the end of Breaking Bad. The clip uses the simple smoky motif from the opening credits and the promise that "All Bad things come to an end." The final Breaking Bad episodes begin airing August 11 on AMC.

Frankly, the system is badly broken, so seeing it grind to a halt is no surprise.
A wide chasm between the Democratic and Republican parties is the reason for the shutdown. The two sides are so busy screaming at each other that they decline to close their mouths and listen. Without a constructive dialogue, compromise, the lifeblood of politics, cannot occur.
The House, controlled by Republicans who are being pushed and prodded by new, Tea Party-influenced members, caused this stalemate. They have to accept their primary responsibility.
Members of the GOP, especially those on the far right, are opposed to any and everything that President Barack Obama does.
That plays well in their bright-red districts, and protects them from primary challenges. But it doesn't serve the nation, and that is to their lasting discredit.
However, Democrats, including Obama, helped cause this as well. Obama pushed for his signature health care reform package, dubbed Obamacare, and it passed in 2009 without a single GOP vote.
There seems to have been areas that could have been adjusted to at least gain a Republican vote or two in the Senate, but that didn't happen. Is anyone surprised that the Republicans are drawing a line in the sand against a law they bitterly opposed then and now?
In addition, Obama seems intent on "winning" this battle, according to David Gergen, a veteran political operative who worked in the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton administrations and now serves as a political analyst.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a feisty Democrat from Nevada who boxed as a young man, has added to the harsh partisan tone on Washington, D.C., as well. Reid and Senate Democrats think they have no reason to sit down and try to hammer out a deal with the GOP, showing how little they understand the art of politics.
While these politicians fiddle, the country burns in resentment.
The stalemate has resulted in the shutting down of non-essential government services such as national parks and monuments, as well as museums. That's painful here in Wyoming, where more than 200,000 people are expected this month at Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, as well as in the national forests that make this such an inviting place for tourists.
Many of our businesses, and their owners and employees, will pay the price for the political deadlock.
It's not just gated parks, either. The National Institutes of Health is not accepting new patients for clinical research and has shut down a hotline that fields medical questions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not offering its flu prevention program and the CDC says its response to outbreak reports has been slowed.
People who rely on Department of Housing and Urban Development vouchers to cover their rent may find a hassle, thanks to this shutdown. There are other problems and pitfalls, and things will only get worse — possibly much, much worse — if this continues for a few weeks.
Ideally, politicians are sent to Washington to solve problems. The men and women who are there now seem to have forgotten that, and the country is suffering for their confusion.

HILLVIEW, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Almost a week after a hit and run accident critically injured two motorcyclists Hillview police now say they have a person of interest. Hillview police say the driver of the car ran away after hitting the motorcyclists. The family of one of the most critically injured spoke to WHAS11 's Claudia Coffey.
One of the cyclists, Johhny Tolliver, has a passion for riding his Harley. Johnny was just doing what he loved with two friends last Friday. They were all on their bikes leaving the Brooks exit and getting onto I-65 when police say a maroon car with Indiana tags slammed into two of the bikes.
"Johnny took full impact on the car, hit it and then flew onto the other side of the car," said Linda Tolliver.
The other motorcyclist suffered numerous broken bones but was released this week. Johnny remains sedated in intensive care. He is on a breathing tube and has broken legs, a broken pelvis and some head injuries.
"The pelvis is fractured everywhere so I don't know what they are going to do with that. Ribs are cracked, his head, the back of it, is banged up. He has many staples we have no idea how many," said Linda.
Hillview police say two passengers were in the car that hit the motorcyclists. Wendy Dishman, 44, was arrested for hindering the investigation. Police say the driver ran away on foot. Johnny's parents have a message for the person responsible and anyone who may have seen what happened.
"He's a coward if he got out of the car and ran and I want him caught. There is somebody out there that knows information on this and I want them to come forward. I would like them to come forward," said Tolliver.
Hillview police say they are getting closer they are executing a search warrant for a cell phone that may provide them with the info they need to make an arrest. If you have any information call the Hillview Police at 955-6808

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Dallas officer likely to be fired in pepper spray case
By Tanya Eiserer
DALLAS — A Dallas police officer is likely to be fired as soon as next week after an internal investigation concluded that he repeatedly lied about an incident in which a man was taken to West Dallas, doused with pepper spray and then left there.
A rookie police officer also is facing discipline over not immediately reporting the August 2008 incident to supervisors. The rookie, Officer John Hoover, later told detectives that a third officer had intentionally used pepper spray on the man and they concocted a story that the canister had malfunctioned.

Love these liners, works great in my motorcycle gloves.
Keep em toasty
Annalee Morris
Member since
Lightweight, form fit, they are very well designed. Ibex knows what's up. Hands down the best glove liner I've ever used. And the wool is SO much better than synthetic materials for extra warmth.
The Best.
Member since
Lots of other gloves, like Smartwool, seem like an afterthought. These are the first really lightweight liner gloves I've seen with quality seams, good stretch, and a tight weave. They never come off under 30� for me!
Thin liner gloves I've been looking for!
Member since
I own several liner gloves. This one is the thinnest I've found and fits my hands very nicely. I can't wait to wear these under my new Hestra leather gloves!
Warm and thin
Member since
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have extra large hands with very long fingers and got 6 different types of gloves. I kept two. I look for seams that don't dig under my nails, and become a second skin to my hands. These fit the bill with the added bonus of being a nice color in blue and having longer wrists so they tuck in nicely to keep from getting cold spots. Easy on, easy off. I got 4 pairs because I always loose one.
These are great!
Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I am going to grab a second pair so I can keep them dry all day. They are thin and seem strong. They are perfect for futsing around with bindings or snowshoes or zippers, whatever you get it. They are nice. They have a big fat tag inside which I am leaving on to clip to and let dry. Supple!
Member since
- Gender: Female
Fit like a warm skin . . . great just by themselves indoors, or for outdoors under gloves or inside mittens (or even as a third layer under mittens & glove liners for when the frost-bite warning is out).
Great all around gloves
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have 2 pairs of these. I bought 1 pair, but the wrist developed a small hole immediately after the first use. So I called Ibex - not only did they offered a replacement pair immediately, but they also let me keep the original pair. Pretty awesome customer service! I'm still using the original pair as the hole didn't get bigger as I thought it would.
I use them for running - I ran 4x a week in winter and they have lasted a couple winters. They are good for down to 30 degrees. I also use them as liners for my ski gloves. They are quite thin so they fit into my ski gloves really well, but it's amazing how much warmer my hands feel. Especially when the ski gloves get a bit clammy inside, the merino still keeps my hands warm. It's one of those things I always take in my running bag and in my ski jacket pocket - they are so low profile that it's a no-brainer to bring the extra insurance - yet the amount of warmth they generate is so amazing!
The fit is generally good, but I think they can use a bit more lycra to keep them a bit more fitting - not that they are totally loose, but they could be a bit more form fitting.
Good Liner for Ski Gloves
Aaron Finley
Member since
Bought these to get a little more warmth from a pair of new Outdoor Research ski gloves. The fit/finish is excellent. Merino wool blend is incredibly soft and so far hasn't stretched out after about 10 uses (but watch out - it will snag on velcro). These liners are not really warm standalone, but they will keep the chill off your hands when you need to grab your iPhone/trail map/etc.
Member since
can you use iphone with this liner?
Aaron Finley
Member since
Not iPhone compatible, unfortunately.
Quality in line with other Ibex pieces
Member since
super happy with these, nice fit and merino-comfortable
How do these gloves fit? My girlfriend...
Member since
How do these gloves fit? My girlfriend has pretty skinny hands and a different pair of liners I bought her a pretty baggy. The look well trimmed, but anybody with first-hand (ha!) experience care to offer their thoughts? Thanks!
Mountain Diva
Member since
They're not bulky, and not too snug either, I love these liners! In fact I wear them as a stand alone while running or driving, and they fit perfectly under my snowboard gloves. The widest part of my hand is 3 3/4". Better late than never!
Great fall/winter glove
Member since
This is the perfect cold weather functional glove. Good for biking, running or driving for that matter.

Ronny Cedeno, I scorn you
There will be a game recap later, but for now all I want to say is how much Ronny Cedeno smells. He booted a game-ending double play ball. Guh.
Good teams find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose. The Cubs are a good team playing badly at the moment, but the Brewers will not gain ground on them as they are currently being ripped to pieces by - of all teams - the Padres.
Ronny Cedeno, no cake for you, buddy. Not yours.

This will pass.
Howry and Cedeno need to be sent down now.

He's Husband Material but Doesn't Share My Faith
- Thursday, October 13, 2011
It's true. Think about the friends you know who are married to or are dating non-Christians. And what do their spiritual lives look like now? Are they growing spiritually or have they regressed? Have they withdrawn from church fellowship? Has their speech changed? Do they not want to talk about spiritual matters any longer? Are they doing things now that they didn't do before they were yoked with those who aren't believers?
"For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?" Nothing. "Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" It can't.
"We are the temple of the living God." Remember that as you make decisions as they relate to dating and marriage. Our lives are not our own. We were bought and paid for, redeemed and given hope of eternal life. We are holy. We are set apart. God is living inside of us by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
This will be hard, as you begin to detach emotionally and let go of any hopes and dreams you may have held in your heart regarding this man. So allow some healthy space between you. (Yes, God can still draw your friend to himself, but that is between your friend and the Lord.) Hopefully as you share with your friend why you cannot consider him for marriage, this will be a good opportunity for you to share more about your faith and why what you believe the Bible says is so crucial in decision making for your life.

How To: Measure Without a Tape Measure or Ruler
Our tape measure is strangely one of the most precious items in our daily kit: along with cellphone, wallet and keys, it gets deposited and retrieved on our landing strip, and we feel somehow unprepared for the day without it. But on the rare occasions when we do forget it, or in situations where it would be somehow gauche to bust it out, we rely on a few handy tricks.
The key to measuring without a standard instrument is knowing in advance the length of, ahem, certain body parts (okay, no naughtiness intended) and very common everyday items.
- Your hand — measure from the line at the base of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. This is helpful for measuring larger surfaces you touch with your hands, like tables and cushions.
- Your pinkie finger — though not the longest, this finger is handiest because it's on the outside of your hand and has a clear start and end, unlike thumbs.
- Your stride — for measuring room lengths. When measuring your stride in advance, lay a measuring tape on the floor and have someone else watch you walk at a normal, natural pace. You might have to do it a few times to make sure you're not changing your gait wildly each time.
- Your foot — with this one it helps to know your European shoe size: 35 = 9', 40 = 10" and 45 = 11". This is more accurate but more time consuming than using your stride to measure a space, as you must walk toe to the heel of your next foot.
- Your height — we have compelled a perfectly 6' tall person to lay on the floor to get a room dimension before, but it's not necessary to go to that trouble. The distance between your fingertips with your arms stretched to the sides is roughly the same as your height.
- A dollar bill — is exactly six inches long and 2.5 inches tall, and can be folded to get the smaller measurements within those.
- A piece of standard paper — paper, such as that you'd use in a printer, is 8.5" x 11". But make sure the piece you're using is American standard, or that you know its specific measurements if not.
While handy, these tricks aren't enough to make us ditch our trusty sidekick (the Komelon SELFLock is our favorite — it automatically sticks where you extend it, and you use the button to unlock it, instead of vice-versa) on a daily basis. But they do keep us from panic when we forget it.

When I worked retail, I always appreciated the folks who brought their own tape measures into the stores (but not the fabric ones) because it meant they were serious about making a purchase...
...but even if you don't remember one - the good stores/salespeople will always have one at their desk or behind the counter.
its when people have a scale and don't know how to use one is what scares me.
Pretty handy! :)
This is a great idea! My mother used to measure everything with her hands, she said most people's hands are about 8" across. This is probably not true though..

I love my Komelon too. It's printed with measurements on both sides - one horizontally, the other vertically (great for measuring the height of things with out having to bend to the side to read the tape). And for people like me who are not quick on the simple math, it's also printed with both feet and inches at every inch mark. Love it!
My mom always estimates yards of fabric by putting one end at the tip of her nose and the stretching the fabric across the length from there to her finger tip. It totally works, you just need to do with a tape measure a couple of times to figure out how far to stretch your arms/turn your head to one side.
This is so cool.
the dollar bill is a new one for me! that is great, I've learned my thing for today....now i can go back to sleep! LOL
I'm an architect so i carry a tiny tape measure in my purse as well as a scale, i have no shame i bust 'em out whenever measurements are in doubt as i'm a lazy bum and i hate returning things that don't fit and/or returning to the store to by more...
I just measured my hand! 8 inches across!
Checks (from your checkbook) are also exactly 6 inches wide.
does anyone find it strange that the european shoe sizes end up being nice even inches...? Just curious.
I use wingspan and letter-size paper methods all the time. Nice tips!
[selflink removed: put it in your profile]
i am likin the dollar bill idea
While I realise this might seem a little odd, I have used a standard DVD case as a measuring instrument before when our measuring tapes have all gone AWOL. I was having custom bookshelves made (my dad is a woodworker) and to get the height correct we ended up using a DVD case. It was great because everyone has a standard DVD case somewhere. The result - a perfect fit.

''Personally I think your doing the right thing.'' Vienna said as lavinia went back to her station.
''Really?'' Kat asked, surprised.
''Of course, I mean your changing the entire country, you know?'' Vienna said, beginning to curl Kat's long brown hair. Kat smiled.
''Well as long as you think so.'' Kat smiled. Just then Johanna walked over to her daughter. Kat rolled her eyes.
''If your here to tell me how stupid I'm being for not backing out of the games, I'm not in the mood.'' Kat spat. Johanna's eyes widened as she shook her head, taking a seat on the chair next to her.
''That's not why I came over here at all dear.'' Johanna said in a soft tone.
''Then why did you come here?'' Kat asked, turning her head to Johanna. Johanna looked down at the floor as tears began to fall down her face.
''To tell you I'm proud of you.'' Johanna said, wiping tear away from her eye, but letting the other fall to the floor. Kat smiled, taking a hold of her mother's hand. She found herself crying as well.
''I'm proud of you too mom.'' Kat smiled. ''I'm just sorry I've been so awful the past 20 years.''
''You were never awful, you were always perfect.'' Johanna smiled. Kat wiped away a tear.
''Your going to make her ruin her make-up.'' Vienna said, even though she was beginning to cry as well. Johanna smiled.
''Sorry, I'm just emotional.'' Johanna said.
''We all ae.'' Kat said. ''I just we all were feeling the same emotion.''
''We are, just in diffrent ways.'' Annie Rose walked over, hugging Kat around the neck.
''I love you all so much, and I promise you that no matter what, I'm not going to go anywhere.'' Kat said.
''What do you mean?'' Johanna asked.
''I'm going to win these games, all of them.'' Kat said. 'I'm going to have a fantastic wedding, then I'm going to win the games, and then I'm going to be president, and then I'll have a wonderful child.''
''How do you know that?'' Annie Rose asked, beginning to cry.
''I just know.'' Kat said. Just thenKatniss walked into the room to see all of the girls crying.
''What's wrong?'' Katniss asked, walking over to join the girls.
''Wedding stuff.'' Kat smiled, wiping away another tear.
''Well your going to ruin all of your make-up.'' Katniss said. Vienna smiled at Katniss.
''Thank-you! Now I'm going to have to start all over.'' Vienna sighed.
''I'll help, I'm already ready. Plus I've been in plenty of dressing rooms to know how to apply a smoky eye.'' Katniss smiled.
''You'd do that?'' Kat asked.
''I'd do anything for my goddaughter.'' Katniss smiled, hugging Kat. Katniss grabbed a make-up kit and redid Annie Rose and Johanna's makeup. Once she was finsihed with that she walked over to Kat and applied make-up to her as Vienna continued to do her hair.
''Alright It's time for the dress.'' Vienna said as she finished Kat's hair. Kat nodded her head, getting up from the table and walking over to the small closet which had all of the dresses. Everyone grabbed their dresses. There was one remaining.
''Who's dress is this?'' Kat asked.
''It's mine.'' Ever said, walking into the room. ''Sorry I'm late.'' Ever walked over to the closet. Kat smiled, giving Ever a hug.
''You made it.'' Kat smiled.
''Of course I did.'' Ever hugged back. ''This is what friends do.'' Kat smiled.
''Well as your friend you should know that Haymitch came and told me he could put you back in the games, and I said no.'' Kat said, breaking away from the hug.
''I know, that's why I was late, I tried telling them they could put me back in the games. I started all of that.'' Ever replied.
''Why would you do that?'' Kat asked.
''Because your getting married, and your pregnant. You don't deserve to be in the games. I could of handled it, I've been preparing for it my entire life.'' Ever replied.
''You don't deserve that either. And you can try talking me out of the games all you want, but I'm not backing out.'' Kat replied, placing her hands on Ever's shoulders. Ever nodded her head.
''Okay.'' Ever whispered, and they hugged again.

› Weiner vs. Bayh: Which One's A Bigger Scandal? | OurFuture.org
I know which one I'd pick, but apparently it doesn't make for good copy.
The Bayh story won't get the kind of headlines that Weiner's did. It won't get the kind of headlines that Bayh's retirement did, either - headlines like "Bayh Falls Out of 'Love' With Congress, Will Not Seek Re-Election." When Bayh announced his retirement at the last minute - timing that seemed designed to ensure Democrats would lose his seat - only a few partisan cranks considered the possibility that Bayh was leaving to sell himself to the highest bidder. In reporting on Bayh's latest move, Jason Linkins gave us a useful roundup of the damage he did before leaving the Senate. Now we know that there's more wreckage to come.
When he retired Bayh said, "I simply believe I can best contribute to society in another way: creating jobs by helping grow a business, helping guide an institution of higher learning, or helping run a worthy charitable endeavor."
He was lying. We know that because he refused to rule out a lobbying job even as he pontificated about education, charity, or private enterprise. Now the nation knows that his "other way" involved being paid a huge salary to undermine and destroy the agencies targeted in a Chamber of Commerce memo: "the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."

Take heed of this small child of earth;
He is great; he hath in him God most high.
Children before their fleshly birth
Are lights alive in the blue sky.
In our light bitter world of wrong
They come; God gives us them awhile.
His speech is in their stammering tongue,
And his forgiveness in their smile.
Their sweet light rests upon our eyes.
Alas! their right to joy is plain.
If they are hungry Paradise
Weeps, and, if cold, Heaven thrills with pain.
The want that saps their sinless flower
Speaks judgment on sin's ministers.
Man holds an angel in his power.
Ah! deep in Heaven what thunder stirs,
When God seeks out these tender things
Whom in the shadow where we sleep
He sends us clothed about with wings,
And finds them ragged babes that weep!

American Erin Hamlin bags bronze in singles luge
Sochi, Russian Federation (4E Sports) – Erin Hamlin captured the bronze medal in singles luge in the Sochi Winter Games, becoming the first American to win a medal in the event.
"It's surreal," the 27-year-old Hamlin said. "I had four great runs. I came here with no expectations and this is beyond what I imagined."
As expected, Germany's Natalie Geisenberger won gold in 3:19.768, followed by compatriot Tatjana Hufner (3:20.907), giving Germany 31 of the 42 medals awarded in the Olympics for the women's luge.
Hamlin, who finished with a time of 3:21.145, reached the podium ahead of Canada's Alex Gough, Germany's Anke Wischnewski and three Russians.
The finish came as a surprise for Hamlin, who hasn't finish in the top three in a World Cup race since 2011-12, and her 2009 world championship is ages ago.
However, she put herself in medal contention with the second-fastest time in the first run on Monday and was third after two heats, becoming just the second American woman to finish in the top three after two heats in an Olympic race, joining Courtney Zablocki, who was third after two runs at the 2006 Torino Games.
She built a .355-second lead over Gough in her third heat and needed a run with minimal mistakes to claim bronze. That's exactly what she did.
"When I went into that third-to-last curve I thought to myself, 'I think I just did it,' " Hamlin said. "Luge isn't the biggest sport at home, and we've never won an individual medal. Hopefully this gives it a boost, I'm happy to pave the way to the future."

I have to admit that I really do like the new scheme at Asprey. This is possibly one of the best schemes I have seen from this brand in absolutely ages. I was of course very complimentary of their Christmas scheme although prior to that possibly a little dismissive of their previous ones and no surprise really, taa daa.., !!! those dreadful trees that they had here a few months ago now have a look-a-like in Mango's scheme (Roger's theory of diffusion of what? bring it on laggards, next stop Primark I guess). But anyway, hands up, these guys have pulled it off once again and I was drawn in to take a closer and longer look at what they have produced. Entertaining and witty, who knew Asprey could be such fun? And beautifully produced too. Cheers guys..!
