The Supreme Courts Obamacare ruling on Thursday cuts right to the very fabric of the relationship between a once-limited government and a once-free citizen, but the eternal struggle between liberty and tyranny endures. It is a beginning, not an end.
As enormously important as the high courts Obamacare ruling is - and its huge - its not the final word. The legal and political dust has not yet settled, and it will take some time for the unpredictable ripples to form the powerful waves of history. Yet, history waits for no man, so we begin by asking: What now? First, we mourn. We mourn that a nation built on the principle of limited government has grown the largest government in the history of humankind. We mourn that our Supreme Court rewrote Obamacare into Obamatax to allow for the individual mandate. We mourn that once again we read the lips of a president who promised he would not raise our taxes but did so anyway. We mourn that Washington no longer rules with the consent of the governed.
But this mourning, as appropriate as it is, must be short-lived. This struggle for our liberty, this struggle to abide by the principles of our founding begins anew. We can no longer trust that Washington will save the great experiment of self-governance that is the United States of America. Just as it has always been, the fate of our republic rests in the hands of the voters.

I used to think that the government was part of my country. Now I know that that government is an alien criminal enterprise bent on destroying my country.
Thank you for clarifying that for me, CJ Roberts. Thank you very much. And may you go straight to h@ll.
Don't count on American voters fixing this. The entertainment addled, bread-and-circuses voters gave us Obama in the first place. They used to be a minority, but now a majority can be convinced that voting for socialism is a good thing.
May it be said, democrats, muslims, and communists, are not our countrymen, may their chains rest lightly upon them as they crouch at the feet of the master who feeds.
This country does NOT have a political problem; but a spiritual one.
Politics will NOT 'fix' what's wrong with America.
If my people....
Then I will heal their land.
Since the government is lawless, there is no reason to believe elections will not also be lawless.
We shall see.
It is up to us.
The time is now.
The voters are how we got into this mess. I don't trust them because there are too many idiots out there that want everything for free.
Goodbye you scum bag socialist!....November move a little faster!
We can begin to turn this around on November 6th.
Or else not.
It is up to us.
What do you propose instead?
Yes. CJ Arnold did us a favor and this should be taken for what it is: a win. We finally have the SCOTUS confirm what so many of us have feared, the game is completely rigged. It's an elaborate game of three card monte. If we want to win we'll need to either change the rules or pick up our marbles and leave. Or both.
From a Bicentennial of the Constitution volume comes the following excerpt:
"It was John Adams who said: "The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." Clearly, the Founders' passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incorporated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
"The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, "How long will the American republic endure?" Lowell replied: "As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant."
"Herein lies the answer to the question, "Will the Experiment Succeed?"
"It can and will succeed IF the motivating "principle or passion in the minds of the people" is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based." - (End of excerpt)
Romney and the Republican had better get on board quickly with providing voters a sharp and distinct set of IDEAS of LIBERTY, and how those ideas contrast with Obama and the Dem's COUNTERFEIT ideas of SLAVERY TO GOVERNMENT AND LOSS OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.
The "jobs" argument is the one the Dems want, because it keeps attention off the underlying cause of job loss, which is loss of individual freedom under a cadre of power-hungry political hacks.
Very well said, Mojito. I'm about at the point where I might surrender my law license, because I can really no longer see any point in representing what passes for "law" now.
You've got it. This is the bedrock of Hitler's dominion. He first got his legislators to make law, got the highest courts to validate the law, then he could issue orders upholding the law which he wanted made.
An example (that applies here, inescapably): Untermenschen (subhumans) -- fit to be eliminated so as not to taint the Aryan gene pool.
Defined by law, judged by law, and terminated by law.
Philosophically, the Air Force sees Christianity a sublevel that taints pure intellect. Not allowed on base.
Charles Evans Hughes: The law is what we say it is. Same for Roberts. A sellout to power, not purity.
Finally a positive spin on John Roberts I can get behind. Thanks Mojito
BRAVO!!!! I love your post so much I'm going to copy it again here - it bears repeating!!!!! http://www.face.net/
Teach your children, your grandchildren, your neighbors, what liberty means and the spiritual foundation for liberty!!
Thanks. Dr. Wolf has said it well. A quick and decisive movement must result from yesterday to "enlighten the People," as the Founders intended purpose for education was meant to do. Millions already understand that the freedom and light of liberty their ancestors left for the entire world are being destroyed, and yesterday provides both impetus and an opportunity for rectifying that wrong.

The constitution is dead so there is no Republic anymore. The constitution is the agreement that brought the States together to make the USA. Both parties and all three branches of the government killed it. They have no more authority under the constitution.
So, we have no country anymore. We don't have any legitimate National athorities which were established by the costitution. Anything we do in obedience to the illegimate government in DC is out of fear not out of moral authority or patriotism.
Everyone who swears an oath to the constitution is lying. There is no constitutional government to swear to. There is no Bill of Rights to protect. Swear an oath to the Congressional Black Caucus, porn stars, an oak tree or a Black dog or whatever you consider yourself in service to. It doesn't matter, just don't lie that you are serving our constitutional Republic.
This has become a time for civil disobedence. As you have rightly have said, those in power will not obey, so then no obedence in turn.
Essentially correct, those who had formally sworn an oath to the Constitution are not absolved by virtue of the existence failure of the same as a Constitution.
That being said your State Constitution being independently derived is still very much in force.
Obama thinks he is playing Simon Says.
Look at some of the people sitting around in an emergency room these days.
Let's not forget the 2010 Midterms.
Boehner crying off and on for two years.
Romney as our Presidential choice.
ObamaCare is still alive.
Obama is still going full bore.
I guess we sure showed them!
I don't know if you realized it or not, but it was voters that put the bastards in office to begin with. Then said bastards tell said voters,"Keep me in office and I will take care of you". It was done.Now the parasites outnumber the producers. I know, I know,according to some, there are more "conservatives" than any other group. If they are more Conservatives than any other group,why are in the damn mess that we are in?
It goes back MUCH farther than that...
Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
Even Conservatives would rather be praised into Hell;
than rebuked into Heaven.
During the Critical Period between the Revolutionary War and the Constitution, our young republics ran wild with popular, democratic legislatures. While the people had not yet figured out how to legally steal from their neighbors outright, they got their legislators to pass laws that screwed creditors, inflated money, enacted ex-post facto laws, and generally impaired contracts to favor debtors. These faults were corrected in the Constitution so often derided at this forum.
Similarly, we suffer today from too much democracy. For 99 years the Senate has not served as the lid on the House of Representatives it was designed to be. No, our Senators are vote grubbers like the Reps, only worse, because they have six year terms and imagine themselves minor gods.
Our Framers got it right in 1787 and the 16th, 17th amendments have been our undoing. The American Revolution is dead.
This has never been a democracy, This is a Republic and we are allowing it to slip away because good men do nothing.
Take these commies and muslims to the wood shed and explain what they are messing with!
The only answer to clear the air.....
Here we got Ginsburg and Roberts to validate a bill which will lead to some disturbingly similar consequences, once the bureaucracy is gassed up and running.
The States were independent republics under the Confederation. Their popular Assemblies and weak governors during the Critical Period made the notion of republican government almost farcical. They were far closer to unlimited democracies than to republics subject to constitutional limitations.
As we've discussed before on this Forum, John Quincy Adams, who was a child when the Declaration was adopted, 19 when the Constitution was framed, and served in various posts in the new government, including as President, was asked to deliver the "Jubilee" Address in 1839 in New York City. For readers who may not know about it, that complete work can be read here. In it, JQA traces the ideas and history of the nation to that date and discusses the ideas of "democracy" and "republic," as they apply to the government chosen by the Framers. These are his concluding remarks:
". . . the Constitution as construed by Washington, still proved an effective government for the country.
"And such it has still proved, through every successive change of administration it has undergone. Of these, it becomes not me to speak in detail. Nor were it possible, without too great a trespass upon your time. The example of Washington, of retiring from the Presidency after a double term of four years, was followed by Mr. Jefferson, against the urgent solicitations of several state Legislatures. This second example of voluntary self- chastened ambition, by the decided approbation of public opinion, has been held obligatory upon their successors, and has become a tacit subsidiary Constitutional law. If not entirely satisfactory to the nation, it is rather by its admitting one re-election, than by its interdicting a second. Every change of a President of the United States, has exhibited some variety of policy from that of his predecessor. In more than one case, the change has extended to political and even to moral principle; but the policy of the country has been fashioned far more by the influences of public opinion, and the prevailing humors in the two Houses of Congress, than by the judgment, the will, or the principles of the President of the United States. The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor; or either House of Congress will effectually control his power. It is thus, and in no other sense that the Constitution of the United States is democratic - for the government of our country, instead of a Democracy the most simple, is the most complicated government on the face of the globe. From the immense extent of our territory, the difference of manners, habits, opinions, and above all, the clashing interests of the North, South, East, and West, public opinion formed by the combination of numerous aggregates, becomes itself a problem of compound arithmetic, which nothing but the result of the popular elections can solve.
"It has been my purpose, Fellow-Citizens, in this discourse to show:-
1. That this Union was formed by a spontaneous movement of the people of thirteen English Colonies; all subjects of the King of Great Britain - bound to him in allegiance, and to the British empire as their country. That the first object of this Union,was united resistance against oppression, and to obtain from the government of their country redress of their wrongs.
2. That failing in this object, their petitions having been spurned, and the oppressions of which they complained, aggravated beyond endurance, their Delegates in Congress, in their name and by their authority, issued the Declaration of Independence - proclaiming them to the world as one people, absolving them from their ties and oaths of allegiance to their king and country - renouncing that country; declared the UNITED Colonies, Independent States, and announcing that this ONE PEOPLE of thirteen united independent states, by that act, assumed among the powers of the earth, that separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitled them.
3. That in justification of themselves for this act of transcendent power, they proclaimed the principles upon which they held all lawful government upon earth to be founded - which principles were, the natural, unalienable, imprescriptible rights of man, specifying among them, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - that the institution of government is to secure to men in society the possession of those rights: that the institution, dissolution, and reinstitution of government, belong exclusively to THE PEOPLE under a moral responsibility to the Supreme Ruler of the universe; and that all the just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed.
4. That under this proclamation of principles, the dissolution of allegiance to the British king, and the compatriot connection with the people of the British empire, were accomplished; and the one people of the United States of America, became one separate sovereign independent power, assuming an equal station among the nations of the earth.
5. That this one people did not immediately institute a government for themselves. But instead of it, their delegates in Congress, by authority from their separate state legislatures, without voice or consultation of the people, instituted a mere confederacy.
6. That this confederacy totally departed from the principles of the Declaration of independence, and substituted instead of the constituent power of the people, an assumed sovereignty of each separate state, as the source of all its authority.
7. That as a primitive source of power, this separate state sovereignty,was not only a departure from the principles of the Declaration of Independence, but directly contrary to, and utterly incompatible with them.
8. That the tree was made known by its fruits. That after five years wasted in its preparation, the confederation dragged out a miserable existence of eight years more, and expired like a candle in the socket, having brought the union itself to the verge of dissolution.
9. That the Constitution of the United States was a return to the principles of the Declaration of independence, and the exclusive constituent power of the people. That it was the work of the ONE PEOPLE of the United States; and that those United States, though doubled in numbers, still constitute as a nation, but ONE PEOPLE.
10. That this Constitution, making due allowance for the imperfections and errors incident to all human affairs, has under all the vicissitudes and changes of war and peace, been administered upon those same principles, during a career of fifty years.
11. That its fruits have been, still making allowance for human imperfection, a more perfect union, established justice, domestic tranquility, provision for the common defence, promotion of the general welfare, and the enjoyment of the blessings of liberty by the constituent people, and their posterity to the present day.
"And now the future is all before us, and Providence our guide.
"When the children of Israel, after forty years of wanderings in the wilderness, were about to enter upon the promised land, their leader, Moses, who was not permitted to cross the Jordan with them, just before his removal from among them, commanded that when the Lord their God should have brought them into the land, they should put the curse upon Mount Ebal, and the blessing upon Mount Gerizim. This injunction was faithfully fulfilled by his successor Joshua. Immediately after they had taken possession of the land, Joshua built an altar to the Lord, of whole stones, upon Mount Ebal. And there he wrote upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written in the presence of the children of Israel: and all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on the two sides of the ark of the covenant, home by the priests and Levites, six tribes over against Mount Gerizim, and six over against Mount Ebal. And he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that was written in the book of the law.
"Fellow-citizens, the ark of your covenant is the Declaration of independence. Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United States. In that scene of tremendous and awful solemnity, narrated in the Holy Scriptures, there is not a curse pronounced against the people, upon Mount Ebal, not a blessing promised them upon Mount Gerizim, which your posterity may not suffer or enjoy, from your and their adherence to, or departure from, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, practically interwoven in the Constitution of the United States. Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls - bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes - teach them to your children, speaking of them when sitting in your houses, when walking by the way, when lying down and when rising up - write them upon the doorplates of your houses, and upon your gates - cling to them as to the issues of life - adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation. So may your children's children at the next return of this day of jubilee, after a full century of experience under your national Constitution, celebrate it again in the full enjoyment of all the blessings recognized by you in the commemoration of this day, and of all the blessings promised to the children of Israel upon Mount Gerizim, as the reward of obedience to the law of God."
So said John Quincy Adams.
The ideas underlying our Constitution are not dead, unless we allow them to die! They are the enduring ideas which originate with the Creator, and if Divine Providence was present at this nation's founding and has an ongoing purpose for America's continued existence, then we owe it to Providence and the brave authors of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution to promote and preserve those ideas for future generations.
Thanks. See my later post to Jacquerie.
Well said! Agree. I finally found a positive note to end the night with.
1961 - Ronald Reagan speaks out on Socialized Medicine - Audio
"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. Its very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly cant afford it.And
Replace some of the names cited and add a few zeros behind the stated stats, and this 1964 speech could be delivered today with even more relevancy:
THANKS! for this reply!!
We must remember that the Source for the ideas underlying our Declaration of Independence and Constitution's limits on the power of those we entrust with power in government remains unchanged; therefore, the ideas essential to liberty are unchanged.
Only the understanding of the people has changed.
Back in March, one of my posts was the following:
"Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it." - John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams, 1777What an awesome responsibility the Justices of 2012 have to Adams and the other Framers of America's Constitution "make good use" of the opportunity they have now to "preserve" freedom for future generations!
If they "do not," then history will record their action as a betrayal of the trust of all the brave men and women who have been willing to sacrifice everything for freedom's cause--from 1776 to now.
May they feel the heavy cloak of responsibility they bear for the freedom of those future generations, and may their opinions recall those ideas of individual liberty so beautifully articulated by the Framers of the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.
"On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823, The Complete Jefferson, p. 322.
In reading the dissenting opinions of this week's rulings, one realizes that such understanding is alive in the minds of some justices. We must not tolerate the appointment of any more members of the Court who will "squeeze" new meanings which sacrifice the liberty of future generations for momentary illusions about the role of government.
My people perish from lack of knowledge...
I sent the JQA speech to my email list.
I sent the JQA speech to my email list.
(Now if anyone has the attention span to actually READ it; without finding it squeezed on Twitter or LIKED on FaceBook is another thing altogether!)

Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
A well-known, commercial English ale yeast, selected for its fast fermentation character and its ability to form a very compact sediment at the end of the fermentation, helping to improve beer clarity. This yeast is recommended for the production of a large range of ale beers and is specially well adapted to cask-conditioned ales and fermentation in cylindro-conical tanks. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Mash at 152ºF for 60 minutes. Mash out at 170ºF. Will add 5lbs of watermelon in secondary.

Click Here For The Official GLIAC Preseason Poll
Click Here For Sandy Gholston's GLIAC Football Preview
Click Here For Tony Annese Video Interview
Bay City, Mich. - The Ferris State University football team was selected to finish sixth in the 2012 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Football Coaches Preseason North Division Poll, which was released Wednesday (Aug. 15) in conjunction with the launch of the GLIAC Football Media Day website.
The Bulldogs received 45 points in the balloting, which was conducted by the conference's 16 head coaches. This year marks the second time the league's preseason gridiron poll has been seperated by divisions.
In the North Division, Grand Valley State was picked first with 108 points and six first-place votes, defending national runner-up Wayne State was second with 99 points and four first-place votes, Hillsdale was third with 96 points and four votes, Saginaw Valley State came in fourth with 87 points and two votes, Michigan Tech was picked fifth with 66 points followed by Ferris State in sixth with 45 points. Northern Michigan took sixth place with 36 points and Northwood rounded out the division with 30 points.
In the South Division, Ashland was first with 113 points and 13 first-place votes, Ohio Dominican took second with 108 points and five first-place votes, Findlay was third with 97 points and one vote, Lake Erie placed fourth with 73 points, Walsh came in fifth with 49 points while both Tiffin and Notre Dame College tied for sixth with 43 points. Newcomer Malone rounded out the list in the division in eighth place with 42 points.
The 2012 GLIAC football season will be highlighted by the additions of three new Ohio-based institutions in Malone University, Notre Dame College and Walsh University. The GLIAC's three newest members join one of the top NCAA Division II football conferences in the nation. Malone, Notre Dame and Walsh will be among the teams looking to knock off the defending champion of the conference, Hillsdale College. The Chargers won the title in a competitive race last fall with a league record of 8-2 – just ahead of 7-3 competitors Grand Valley State University, Saginaw Valley State University and Wayne State University.
While the Chargers emerged as regular-season champions of the GLIAC, Hillsdale was excluded from the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Qualifying for the national tournament from the conference were Saginaw Valley and Wayne State. The Cardinals were eliminated in the first round of the tournament after a 30-27 overtime loss to the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The Warriors, however, went on a run that landed Coach Paul Winters' team in the NCAA Division II Championship game. In that contest, Wayne State came up on the short end of a 35-21 loss to national champion Pittsburg State (Kan.) University in Florence, Ala. on Dec. 17.
Ferris State returns 40 letterwinners and nearly 18 starters from a year ago when they finished with a 6-5 overall record in the GLIAC.
Among the returnees for the Bulldogs this campaign are senior linebacker Tayo Moss, who has been tabbed as a Preseason All-American after earning All-GLIAC First Team honors a year ago. Other returning all-conference picks from last year include senior defensive end Jordan Morgan, a second-team choice in 2011, along with honorable mention returnees in senior tailback Skyler Stoker, senior offensive tackle Trevor Smolinski and senior defensive end Brad Iskow.
A proven winner at all of his previous coaching stops and highly-regarded across the country, first-year head coach Tony Annese will direct the Bulldogs this fall following three impressive years as the head coach at Grand Rapids Community College, which came on the heels of a highly successful 25-season stint at the prep level.
Ferris State will officially begin its 104th season of varsity competition and the first campaign under Annese on the road with its lone non-league game on Thursday, Aug. 30, at the University of St. Francis (Ill.) in Joliet, Ill.
The Bulldogs' 11-game schedule in 2012 features five home contests at FSU's Top Taggart Field along with six consecutive night games to open the campaign. Ferris State's home opener is scheduled for Sept. 15 when the Ashland Eagles make the trip to Big Rapids to square off against the Bulldogs. Kickoff for the initial home game is slated for 7 p.m. (ET) under the lights.
Season and single-game tickets for the 2012 campaign are currently on sale now. For more information on ticket sales, please contact the FSU Athletics Ticket Office at (231) 591-2888 or visit www.FerrisStateBulldogs.com.
The following is the complete 2012 GLIAC Football Coaches Preseason Poll with first-place votes in parenthesis along with total points.

Used car for 3 horses? Maybe somebody know where to find the used car for 3 horses seller ? |
What are you looking for? I can't make sense of your sentence plus I don't think this post is in the right section of the forum. :? |
http://starymlyn.nazwa.pl/zdjecia_sk...c3a164cd2fd2a8 something similar to this but for 3 horses. |
I think this post should be moved to the classifieds area. It is a European vehicle so I dont think you will find something like that here. Your best bet would be to look up on French web sites etc? Not sure where else. |
they are european i've seen those flaots (there cool) in youtube, i beleave there only 2 horse though, maybe consult your local saddlery to help point you in the direction of finding one |
My solution to a lot of things is eBay...haha...I don't think it would work in this situation. I can try to help you find one if you are really in need of help and serious about getting one. |
that is the neatest thing i have ever seen!!! lol |
That's pretty much all they use in Europe, those along with the Brenderup style trailers. Their roads there are smaller as well as their vehicles, so the trailers needs to be lighter to. |

The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Monday on four bills that propose to loosen gun restrictions in Arizona. The most controversial of the bills would allow guns on public university and community college campuses.
The committee meets at 2 p.m. in Senate Hearing Room 1, 1700 W. Washington St., Phoenix. The hearing is open to the public and anyone may register to speak for or against the bills.
The four bills do a variety of things.
Senate Bill 1474, sponsored by Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City, bans all state universities and community colleges from banning individuals with a concealed weapons permit from carrying a gun on campus. They may ban guns in the school buildings and stadiums if they post signs and provide gun lockers.
If the bill passes and Gov. Jan Brewer signs it into law, Arizona would become the fifth state in the nation to tie the hands of campus officials, who can now bar weapons.
This bill is expected to draw crowds of supporters and opponents to the Capitol Monday, both to rally before the hearing and to testify during it.
Flagstaff Mayor Sara Presler, an attorney who has taught at Northern Arizona University, asked legislators to vote down the bill.
She said she supports the Second Amendment, but said college is not the place for weapons.
"It's (hard) to imagine encouraging a free marketplace of ideas and intellectual growth developed in an environment with a Colt 45 strapped to the hip of a student or professor," Presler wrote in a letter. "Bring a book to class, not a Colt 45."
University presidents also oppose the measure, saying it would cost thousands of dollars to install gun lockers.
Arizona State University President Michael Crow called the bill a "misguided attempt to increase school safety without a shred of evidence to support the assumption that schools are safer if students are armed."
"Own all the guns you want," Crow said in a statement. "But please leave them in your car if you bring them to school, which is our present policy."
Student groups have formed both in support and opposition to the idea.
University of Arizona student Coty McKenzie is the Arizona director of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus.
"It's wrong that as soon as you step on that line that goes around campus, you lose that right to protect yourself," McKenzie said. "I fully respect police officers, but they're not always there and there are times you have to be able to not be a victim. It's hard to do that without a way to protect yourself."
Although Gould's bill would allow universities and community colleges to still keep guns out of classrooms, McKenzie called the bill a step in the right direction.
SB 1479, also sponsored by Gould, lowers the penalty from a misdemeanor to a petty offense for someone who unintentionally enters a public building or attends a public event with a firearm, even if signs are posted banning firearms. It remains a higher misdemeanor if an individual enters a public building or event with a gun when the building or event has armed guards and metal detectors.
This is a revised version of last year's failed attempt to allow guns in all public buildings or events unless they were secured with guards and metal detectors.
Gould said the goal of this bill is two-fold: to protect gun carriers and to incentivize governments to either allow guns or better secure their buildings.
"We don't think you should be a criminal because you don't see a dinky little sign," Gould said. "And we're trying to get the government to secure buildings where there's really a threat risk and not worry about the other ones."
Gould said its ridiculous that he can walk into Wal-Mart with his gun to pay a bill, but he can't walk into a city hall to do the same thing.
Sen. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, is tackling the same issue in a slightly different way.
His SB 1448 modifies the definitions of public buildings and public events to only apply to buildings or events with armed security. Under the bill, it would only be a crime to knowingly enter a public building or event with a gun if the entrances were secured by an armed guard. If there's no guard, there's no crime.
SB 1304, sponsored by Sen. Frank Antenori, R-Tucson, forbids a city from restricting someone from firing a gun within a quarter mile of an occupied structure.
Antenori said the bill fixes a problem created with a law passed last year forbidding cities or counties from limiting the lawful taking of wildlife during open season beyond what the state already limits. That law, he said, inadvertently allowed cities to create restrictions beyond what state law allows. This bill would eliminate that problem, and reinstate exceptions allowed under the state law, such as cases of self-defense.
"Folks have been worried that last year's law inadvertently gave cities too much authority," Antenori said.

I just installed Firefox 1.0.6 and I can no longer access any websites like http://gmail.google.com or hotmail.com. I get the error message '405 Method Not Allowed'.
I am using Onspeed which operates by proxy and my settings on Firefox are
Manual ProxyConfiguration

I have the box ticked which says 'Use the same proxy for all protocols'.
I had this problem before when I first got Firefox, and it was solved by just selecting the box 'automatically detect proxy settings', but now when I do that I can't access any websites at all.
Another weird thing is that on Internet Explorer I am having the same trouble with the 405 error, that has never happened before.
Can anyone help me out? This is really frustrating.

Candaith | |
The Weather Hills | |
Rune-covered Rock |
'As I was returning from the lands to the east, the night sky over Weathertop was lit by bright flashes of white akin to lightning yet no clouds darkened the sky and of thunder there was no sound.
'I think that no ordinary storm visited Amon Sul that night. I ask you to search the ruins atop Weathertop and see if there is anything to find, my friend.
'If you find anything out of the ordinary, return to me immediately.'
As Candaith returned from his journey in the lands to the east, he saw flashes atop Weathertop of white light, akin to lightning there was no storm.
Objective 1
Candaith asked you to search Weathertop for anything out of the ordinary and to bring any news or evidence that you may find back to him.
Objective 2
You found a rune-covered rock and took a rubbing of the markings. You should return to Candaith and learn if he knows what the runes might mean.
Candaith's camp is at the foot of Weathertop.
There are two Sharp-eye Lookouts (Level 19 Birds) sitting on top of the rune-covered rock at the top of Weathertop, 31.0S, 36.8W. Basically the first left when you hike up there.

Uses For Avandamet
Rosiglitazone and metformin combination is used to treat a type of diabetes mellitus called type 2 diabetes. It is used together with a proper diet and exercise to help control blood sugar levels.
Rosiglitazone helps your body use insulin better. Metformin reduces the absorption of sugar from the stomach, reduces the release of stored sugar from the liver, and helps your body use sugar better.

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of rosiglitazone and metformin combination in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of rosiglitazone and metformin combination in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving rosiglitazone and metformin combination.

Precautions While Using Avandamet
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Call your doctor right away if you have chest pain or discomfort, nausea, pain or discomfort in the arms, jaw, back, or neck, shortness of breath, sweating, or vomiting. These may be symptoms of a heart attack.
If you are rapidly gaining weight or having shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort, extreme tiredness or weakness, irregular breathing, irregular heartbeat, or excessive swelling of the hands, wrist, ankles, or feet, check with your doctor right away. These may be symptoms of a heart problem or edema (fluid retention).
Let your doctor or dentist know you are taking this medicine. Your doctor may advise you to stop taking this medicine before you have major surgery or diagnostic tests, especially tests that use a contrast dye.
Under certain conditions, too much metformin can cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis. The symptoms of lactic acidosis are severe and appear quickly. Lactic acidosis usually occurs when other serious health problems are present, such as a heart attack or kidney failure. The symptoms of lactic acidosis include: abdominal or stomach discomfort, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fast or shallow breathing, a general feeling of discomfort, muscle pain or cramping, and unusual sleepiness, tiredness, or weakness. If you have more than one of these symptoms together, you should get immediate emergency medical help.
If you have abdominal or stomach pain, dark urine, a loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, unusual tiredness or weakness, or yellow eyes or skin, check with your doctor right away. These may be symptoms of a serious liver problem.
Check with your doctor right away if blurred vision, difficulty in reading, or any other change in vision occurs while you are taking this medicine. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Certain women may be at an increased risk for pregnancy while taking this medicine. If you had problems ovulating and had irregular periods in the past, this medicine may cause you to ovulate. This could increase your chance of becoming pregnant. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you should discuss birth control options with your doctor.
This medicine may increase the risk for bone fractures in women. Ask your doctor about ways to keep your bones strong to help prevent fractures.
Make sure any doctor or dentist who treats you knows that you are using this medicine. This medicine may affect the results of certain medical tests.
It is very important to follow carefully any instructions from your doctor about:
- Alcohol—Drinking alcohol may cause severe low blood sugar. Discuss this with your doctor.
- Other medicines—Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This especially includes nonprescription medicines such as aspirin, and medicines for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems.
- Counseling—Other family members need to learn how to prevent side effects or help with side effects if they occur. Also, patients with diabetes may need special counseling about diabetes medicine dosing changes that might occur because of lifestyle changes, such as changes in exercise and diet. Furthermore, counseling on contraception and pregnancy may be needed because of the problems that can occur in patients with diabetes during pregnancy.
- Travel—Keep a recent prescription and your medical history with you. Be prepared for an emergency as you would normally. Make allowances for changing time zones and keep your meal times as close as possible to your usual meal times.
- In case of emergency—There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says that you have diabetes and a list of all of your medicines.
- Symptoms of fluid retention—Know what to do if you start to retain fluid. Fluid retention may worsen or lead to heart problems.
This medicine can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Low blood sugar can also occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting. The symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they lead to unconsciousness (passing out). Different people feel different symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms of low blood sugar you usually have so that you can treat it quickly.
- Symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety, behavior change similar to being drunk, blurred vision, cold sweats, confusion, cool, pale skin, difficulty in thinking, drowsiness, excessive hunger, fast heartbeat, headache (continuing), nausea, nervousness, nightmares, restless sleep, shakiness, slurred speech, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
- If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes, or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drinks, or sugar dissolved in water. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Glucagon is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe or needle, and know how to use it. Members of your family also should know how to use it.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur if you do not take enough or skip a dose of your medicine, overeat or do not follow your meal plan, have a fever or infection, or do not exercise as much as usual.
- Symptoms of high blood sugar include blurred vision, drowsiness, dry mouth, flushed, dry skin, fruit-like breath odor, increased urination (frequency and amount), ketones in the urine, loss of appetite, sleepiness, stomachache, nausea, or vomiting, tiredness, troubled breathing (rapid and deep), unconsciousness, or unusual thirst.
- If the symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and call your doctor for instructions.

Growing Up Amish by Ira Wagler
Ira Wagler grew up in an Amish home, the ninth of eleven children. His father, David, was known worldwide in the Amish community, one of the few with a degree, and a passion for writing that he shared in a magazine he launched, Family Life. But, while he poured his energy into his writing, some of his sons couldn't live the Amish lifestyle, with no cars, no electricity, no telephones. And, some Amish communities were stricter than others. Wagler commented, "Even among the Amish, other Amish seem odd."
Wagler tells his story, and, briefly, that of his brothers and sisters. An older sister left home, and became a Mennonite. When Ira was ten, he says of his mother's second son, "Jesse was the first of her sons to pack a bag and simply walk away into the night. He would not be the last." Ira's youngest brother, Nathan, walked away in broad daylight, with his mother crying behind him. That's why so many of the Amish young people leave during the night, so as not to listen to their mothers' cries. Ira walked away from the Amish life five times, the last time for good. And, four times he came back, afraid to leave the life he knew, while he feared eternal damnation if he left. He always felt a tug-of-war between the Amish world and the English world, the outside world.
Novels of Amish life are popular because the outside world wonders about the people and their lifestyle. Now, Ira Wagler reveals what it was like for a restless young man to grow up in that culture, a strict environment filled with complex rules and restrictions. It wasn't the place for a softhearted, sensitive soul, a young man who craved freedom. He provides the details readers crave about life, the family life, the church, the school, the community. But, he also tells the sad story of a young man who tried to succeed in that world, but had to walk away for the sake of his sanity.
Once you've read Ira Wagler's account, that book cover becomes a more powerful image. I'm sure Wagler meant his memoir to show that he succeeded. He found answers, faith, and comfort in life. At the same time, that's still a lonesome image, the Amish young man walking away. And, Growing Up Amish is still a sad, and lonely, story.

I read somewhere that the Amish offer their youth a sabbatical year in the English world before their adult commitment.
Wagler's account sounds touching, not just of Amish but of all youth's efforts to expand their world and find their place. - 9:44 AM
- Lesa said...
Well, according to Wagler, they really don't offer them that sabbatical year. Yes, some of the youth do run around, as he did, but he said the Amish try to keep them at home. They know they'll lose a number of them if they do spend too much time in the English world.
It is a moving story, as you said, for all young people trying to find their place. - 9:48 AM

Oh, Lesa, I loved your review! I have had this on my wish list since I heard of it. Now I want to read it even more. I've really become addicted to Amish themed books of late. Many of them provide such a welcome respite from the chaos of life as late. I've bookmarked the author's website. Thanks again!
- Lesa said...
Ah, Kay. It's a fascinating book, but I warn you. The author had a great deal of chaos in his inner life. You're welcome!
- Karen said...
Very nice review, Lesa.
I remember growing up Catholic. Not as difficult as Amish, but still no picnic.
Will add to the TBR pile but, as good as it sounds, it may not make it to the top of the list for awhile. - 1:55 PM
- Lesa said...
I understand, Karen. I continually shuffle books, looking for the one that fits my mood.
- Beth Hoffman said...
What a wonderfully written review! You've totally sold me on this book, Lesa, and now I can't wait to read it.
Weekend hugs to you and the furbabies! - 3:53 PM
- Lesa said...
Thank you, Beth. You're such a wonderful writer that it always makes me feel good when you say something like that. Thank you.
Hugs back to you and your "children." - 5:09 PM
- Kris said...
I usually run away from books dealing with religion, but since this deals with the Amish I'm actually interested in it.
- Lesa said...
I think a lot of us are interested in this lifestyle, Kris, since we really know so little about it.
My family also comes from the Amish and I've always been grateful to my parents that they left. I was a child so at the time so I remember it vividly. It's tough. You have to have somewhere to go to in order to do it and not get lost. This book depicts Amish life much more accurately than most I've seen. Of course it does- it's his own story. And- it reminded me so much of some of my cousins. We met the author at a book signing recently. He was chatty and friendly. I recommend it... and if you can make it to a book signing- you won't regret it!
Your review, Lesa, was good, too. - 9:31 PM
- Lesa said...
Thank you very much for sharing that the book was realistic, and meant something to you because of your family. Thank you!
I saw this book at my local library the other night on the new releases shelf. I picked it up, read the back cover, and checked it out. I began reading it that night and have been turning the pages since each night. The chapters are short, but the narrative has me intrigued. Wagler's story appeals to me because of is struggle to find his identity. I still have about 10 chapters to read and will probably finish the book this evening. I've already recommended the book to a neighbor and will recommend it to others whom I know to enjoy a good story. (Your review is excellent, by the way.)
- Lesa said...
Thank you! Isn't it an intriguing story? Thanks for your note.

I second Ira's claim that the "rumspringa" period in a young Amish person's life is about dating and finding a marriage partner, and not about getting a conscious choice about whether to stay or leave the culture. When you have been taught since the time you can understand the concept that if you are born Amish, God wants us to stay Amish, and if we leave all hope of our salvation will be lost, it is not about conscious choice about whether to stay or leave. It is about learning to submit (especially if you are a woman) and figure out how to fit in. Some of us never quite did.

Don't you think the Swedish royal wedding this past weekend was so romantic? Princess Madeleine of Sweden looked absolutely stunning and her now husband, Chris O'Neil, was so affectionate and obviously head over heels for his gorgeous Swedish princess. What a fairytale love story!
I am still looking at the wedding photos admiring Madeleine's impeccable style. She is always the picture of feminine glamour with her pastel colors and delicate lace trimmings.
Why not get inspired by her fashion style and take her look to the office? This pale rosé-colored lace skirt by French Connection is the perfect item for a hint of royal glamour at the office.
For a classic look perfect for a corporate office, pair the lace skirt with a sharply tailored blazer. This DKNY tuxedo blazer with its satin shawl lapel, single button closure and satin trimmed front slit pockets is a great option for a polished office look.
For a casual business outfit I like to add a bit of color. This mint-green sleeveless blouse with a front knot and gathering detail matches the skirt perfectly. The soft color of the top keeps the whole ensemble feminine and elegant.
In a creative business environment the styling can be slightly more off-beat. This statement print T-shirt with its baggy fit has a street-style coolness to it that contrasts perfectly with the romanticism of the lace skirt.

Lots of people are really upset that the House and Senate voted to censure MoveOn. Me, too. There is a LOT of talk about "quitting the party" to "send a message."
There is a problem with that thinking. Ralph Nader ran in 2000 to "send a message" to "the Democrats." It didn't send a message and got maybe half a million Iraqis killed. Maybe more.
The reason it did not "send a message" was that the Democratic Party is not a top-down organization. It is a bottom-up organization. IT IS US. You don't "send a message" to yourself, you ACT. The way to act on this is to show up at party meetings, vote, run for office and take over the party. It is also to fund outside organizations like Commonweal Institute so they can reach the public, create popular understanding and appreciation of, and demand for, progressive values and ideas, and turn them around from this nightmare we're living under.

I Sent The Wrong Man To Jail
by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino
March of 1995 began like any other month for me. The days were filled with chasing soon to be five year-old triplets, washing hundreds of pounds of laundry, kissing skinned knees and picking up toys, until the phone rang. Captain Mike Gauldin, the detective who worked my case after a man broke into my apartment when I was a twenty-two year-old college student and raped me at knifepoint in Burlington, N.C. wanted to come see me with Rob Johnson, then the assistant D.A. of Alamance County.
They arrived before lunch and we sat on the deck enjoying the spring sunshine. We talked about the weather, the kids, current events, and then quickly the topic changed. Ronald Cotton, the man sent away for life for attacking me, wanted a DNA test. They needed new blood drawn because my sample from the eleven year-old rape kit had deteriorated.
I had already sat through two trials and I was furious, but I didn't hesitate. "Let's go to the lab right now," I responded. Within hours Mike Gauldin and Rob Johnson were headed to the SBI labs with my vial of blood. I knew the tests would show what I had known all along: that Ronald Cotton was a monster. It was Ronald Cotton who threatened to kill me, who had chased me through the rain that night while I fled for my life. And it was Ronald Cotton who I saw every night in my nightmares, who I prayed God would have killed, and who I hated each and every day of the last eleven years.

Rush Says Iraq Troops Are "Phony Soldiers"
In recent days the Senate and then the House voted to condemn MoveOn for an ad that questioned General Petraeus' statistics on improvements in Iraq. Many Democrats joined in the condemnation.
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh said that troops serving in Iraq are "phony soldiers." From Media Matters – Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are "phony soldiers"
Where are the Democrats who voted to condemn MoveOn? Why are they not demanding a vote to condemn Limbaugh for this? The Carpetbagger Report also wants to know.
Update – Considering that the Congress JUST voted to condemn MoveOn, there are a LOT of upset people. New additions, Crooks and Liars, Down With Tyranny, Cliff Schecter, TalkLeft, AmericaBlog, Digby (with a list of similar comments from Rush – all as yet not condemned by the Congress)
Today's Housing Bubble Post – New-Home Sales And Prices Plunge (Again)
New-home sales plunge 8.3% to seven-year low,
Median sales price down 7.5% in past year, biggest drop in 37 years
Sales of new homes dropped 8.3% in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 795,000, the slowest sales pace since June 2000, the Commerce Department estimated Thursday.
Sales are now down 21.2% in the past year, with no sign of a bottom in the crippled housing market.
… The median sales price fell 7.5% to $225,700 compared with a year earlier, the largest year-over-year decline in 37 years.
The worst is yet to come. Maybe a year from now is the time to start thinking about loking for a bottom.
Angelina Jolie at CGI
I just attended a press conference where Angelina Jolie announced a significant initiative to help educate children in conflict areas. This will be discussed at the afternoon plenary session that begins soon. The project was founded by Jolie and Gene Sperling.
The announcement is the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. It brings together eighteen commitments to reach a total of one million "children in conflict, post-conflict refugee and emergency situations." This includes placing 350,000 out-of-school chindren in schools, and "improving the learning environment, safety, materials and teacher quality for another 650,000 students-including 200,000 Iraqi refugees and 300,000 children affected by the crisis in Darfur."
The dollar amount of this project is $148 million. I'll post more information and links to details as it becomes available.
A couple of photos from the press conference:

Today's Housing Bubble Post – Biggest Price Drop in 16 Years
Imissed this yesterday because I was traveling… S&P: US Home Price Decline Accelerates,
U.S. Homes Post Steepest Price Drop in 16 Years
The decline in U.S. home prices accelerated nationwide in July, posting the steepest drop in 16 years, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday.
So the situation: a huge wave of "ARM resets" – steep rises in monthly payments for holders of adjustable mortgages – is only beginning. Then it takes several months before they get into enough trouble to be forced into foreclosure. At the same time, it is hard to get a mortgage now, the largest number of homes for sale in history, and everyone aware that prices are falling and it is just stupid to buy a house now. So prices are going to be dropping, maybe a lot, for some time. There is no way around it.

Governor Schwarzenegger's Chance to Lead
By John Van de Kamp
Health care reform hasn't made it to the Governor's desk this year, but 3 crucial public safety bills have. Governor Schwarzenegger has the opportunity to sign landmark legislation that would help prevent wrongful convictions in California, and make this state a leader in addressing a serious nationwide problem.
How serious is the problem? When the innocent go to prison, the guilty go free. That is a very serious public safety problem. And it happens more often then most people think.
Just recently, Stephen Colbert interviewed the 200th DNA exoneree, Jerry Miller. Colbert gave him a card on behalf of "society" saying "Sorry." Here in California, Herman Atkins spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Here is Herman Atkins' story:

Chris Thomas Is Not Silenced
Chris Thomas getting arrested in DC last weekend:
As you can see, Chris wasn't going to be silenced. I think toward the end there the cops arresting him were chanting too.
Quiz: What does Chris want, and when?
He writes,
There were a lot of arrests in DC last week. By my count there were at least 230 in 4 different actions. I thought my blogging friends might like to hear about them.
As far as my arrest, I actually only decided to cross the police line after I saw Colonel Ann Wright go over the wall and get arrested first (that was after many Vets from Iraq Veterans Against the War first crossed the line).
As you probably know, Colonel Wright was a career military woman (30 years) and was one of three State Department officials who resigned after the Iraq invasion. It actually was really inspiring and humbling to be in a DC "jail" with people who have been arrested many, many times. Probably 70% of the group were women, 15% Veterans (mostly men), and 15% other men. Many of the women were grandmothers. One of them, Maddie, was 84. 90% of the Capitol police were nice. They are on our side, but their superiors seem to be cracking down on activists. (One Codepinker was arrested on Friday for having "No War" pinned to her shirt while walking into the Jefferson Memorial. She was released 24 hours later with paper work that indicated that they "declined to proceed with prosecution" (huh?). They kept us in cuffs on a bus for five hours, then uncuffed us and put us on metal chairs for four more hours. They finally began processing us out at 3 AM (11 hours after our arrest) and finally fed us – get this – bologna, mayo and white bread sandwiches at 5 AM. I got out at 6:30 AM
I went to a teach-in on Thursday where Daniel Ellsberg spoke. He said an action in Iran in the next 15 months is "likely" and stopping that action should be our highest priority. If we take action on this Muslim country, we will do that much more to recruit a generation of people who hate the US.

i am new to jquery.i want to modify the below function, so it will accept 2 element names dynamically (in place of #div1, .btn).
$("#div1").click(function(){ $(".btn").show(); });
I'm not sure I quite understand what you are getting at.
The code you posted attaches an event handler to the element with an id of "div1"', so that when you click on it any elements with a class of "btn" are shown (have their display property set accordingly).
Could you describe in a little more detail what you are trying to do.If you could post a snippet of HTML that would be great.
Or are you trying to write a function, which does what I describe above, which you can call thus:attachHandler(el1, el2)
Where el1 is the element to click on and el2 is the element to hide.
absolutly i need the syntax for this !
This'll work:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Unbenanntes Dokument</title>
Click me

Hello!

Click me, too

Hello again!

Excellent example!!! Thanks pullo!!

Providing patients with needed treatment, wherever they are, is the challenge of the future for eHealth. This implies sharing good practices in diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and giving people the opportunity to travel freely throughout Europe – knowing that they or their carers can access their health information from anywhere.
12,3 million EU citizens live in a country different from their origin state and every year millions more make trips to other EU countries. The availability of vital information, especially for patients suffering from chronic diseases, enables them to move across borders without anxiety and to receive the most appropriate treatment whenever needed.
Pioneer in this field, the epSOS pilot project validates and improves patient summaries and ePrescriptions. Patient summaries include general and medical information about a patient and her current medications. ePrescriptions enable the patient to obtain medication in any EU pharmacy participating in the epSOS pilot phase.
The project is currently testing how to make patient summaries securely accessible to the European emergency services (112 emergency number) and the potential of the European Health Insurance card, a document shared by all persons insured in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, as one of the tools for the electronic identification of patients.

"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you Kim Kardashian imdb so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys, Smith said. At Kim Kardashian dead just 22-years-old, Smith is the second youngest artist who was nominated for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Beyonce added three Grammys to her trophy case, making her the second most honored woman in Grammy history behind Alison Krauss. However, Kayne West believed it should have been four Grammys in Beyonces hands. When Beck won Album of the Year, Kanye followed the singer on stage. Jay Z and Beyonce were shocked by the move. Beyonce was seen mouthing No, Kanye and Jay Z could be seen shaking his head.
