Do the Wisconsin marriage and annulment statutes allow a court, in an estate case, to declare a marriage void after the death of one of the parties? "Yes," said the Wisconsin Supreme Court in In re the estate of Nancy Ellen Laubenheimer: Joseph McLeod v. Patricia Mudlaff, 833 N.W.2d 735, 2013 Wisc. LEXIS 287 (2013). In Laubenheimer, the court stated that there's a fundamental difference between annulment and a judicial declaration that a marriage is void. And, said the court, a court may use its declaratory judgment powers to declare that a marriage prohibited by law is void and incapable of validation by the parties to the marriage.
Nancy's Two Marriages
Nancy and Luke Laubenheimer were married for 30 years; in 2001, Luke passed away. They had no children from their marriage, although Luke had three children from a previous marriage. Nancy never adopted any of Luke's children.
In 1999, Nancy executed a will, with the majority of her estate going to Luke as her heir. If Luke predeceased her, the majority of her estate was to be distributed to Luke's three children.
In January 2007, Nancy suffered a stroke and passed away in February 2009. Prior to her death, she suffered from multiple health issues, including hypertension, diabetes and renal failure. At some point around 2003, Joseph McLeod came to live with her.
In 2008, Nancy suffered stroke-like symptoms that resulted in diminished mental capacity. Her doctors concluded that Nancy was incapacitated to make health care decisions, and her cousin assumed the role as health care power of attorney. In October of that year, Nancy was transferred to a nursing home. On Oct. 27, 2008, Joseph removed her from the nursing home to obtain a marriage license; a week later, he removed her again for a marriage ceremony before a Washington County Court Commissioner. None of Nancy's friends or family knew about the wedding.
In 2009, Nancy's stepdaughter, Patricia, filed a petition in Washington County Circuit Court seeking temporary and permanent guardianship of Nancy and her estate, in addition to protective placement. In her petition, Patricia claimed that: 1) Nancy suffered from severe cognitive disability due to her stroke; 2) Joseph continued to interfere with Nancy's health care, in contravention of Nancy's health care power of attorney; and 3) Nancy was incompetent and in need of a guardian. In 2009, the court appointed Nancy's cousin (her health care power of attorney) as temporary guardian of Nancy and Nancy's sister a temporary guardian of the estate. The court concluded that there was a reasonable likelihood that Nancy was incompetent.
On Feb. 5, 2009, Nancy passed away while the permanent guardianship proceedings were pending. Two days later, her physician submitted a letter that, at no time subsequent to Nancy's admission to the nursing home, did she have sufficient capacity to consent to marriage.
Conflicting Petitions
In June 2009, Joseph filed a petition for formal administration of Nancy's estate and asked the court to appoint him as personal representative. He asserted his right to a share of Nancy's estate, claiming that Nancy's 1999 will wasn't properly executed or valid. He was unable to locate the original will, although he did produce a copy to the court. Joseph claimed that because the will was executed prior to his marriage to Nancy, he had a right to a share of her estate under Wisconsin Statute Section 853.12, which provides that if a testator marries a surviving spouse, after the testator executes her will, the surviving spouse is entitled to a share of the probate estate. Joseph argued that because Nancy didn't have any biological children and never adopted Luke's three children, he was the sole heir of her estate.
Patricia also filed a petition for formal administration of Nancy's estate. She sought to be named co-personal representative of the estate along with her brother, Millard. Patricia sought to admit a copy of Nancy's will into probate. Additionally, she argued that Nancy's marriage to Joseph was invalid because Nancy lacked the mental capacity to enter into a valid marriage. Accordingly, argued Patricia, Joseph had no right to a surviving spousal share of Nancy's estate.
In December 2008, the circuit court stated that whether it had authority to invalidate the marriage between Joseph and Nancy would control the course of the estate. Applying Wisc. Stat. Section 767.313, the court determined that the only way a marriage can be invalidated in Wisconsin is through annulment. However, Wisc. Stat. Section 767.313(2) states that no marriage may be annulled after the death of a party to the marriage. Accordingly, the court rejected Patricia's claim that it had the power to invalidate the marriage. The court granted Joseph's petition for formal administration and denied Patricia's petition. The court also appointed a neutral party to serve as personal representative of Nancy's estate. Patricia appealed, which is the basis of the instant action.
Declaration of Void v. Annulment
The Wisconsin Supreme Court was asked to determine whether the statute allows a court, in an estate case, to declare a marriage void after the death of one of the parties. The court specifically stated it wasn't making a determination of the validity of the marriage between Nancy and Joseph. Rather, the issue was the authority of the court to pass on the validity of a marriage after the death of one of the parties to the marriage.
Each party claimed that a different statute applied to the facts of the case. Joseph relied on Wisc. Stat. Section 767.313 and argued that annulment is the exclusive means to invalidate a void or voidable marriage. He argued that Section 767.313(2) prohibits a marriage from being annulled after the death of one of the parties to the marriage.
While Patricia conceded that under Section 767.313, a court can't annul the marriage, Wisc. Stat. Section 765.053(1) prohibits a marriage in which a party has a lack of understanding to render her incapable of assenting to marriage. Patricia claimed that the court had the authority under Wisc. Stat. Section 806.04(4) to declare such a marriage void in an estate case, even after the death of one of the parties.
After a lengthy analysis of all the relevant statutes relating to marriage, the court determined that the annulment provision in Wisc. Stat. Section 767.313(1) was central to the instant case. That provision lists the grounds for an annulment suit brought by a party and also states that "judicial proceeding is required to annul a marriage. A marriage may not be annulled after the death of a party to the marriage" (Wisc. Stat. Section 767.313(2)).
Common Law Analysis
In addition to examining the relevant statutes, the Wisconsin Supreme Court also analyzed cases decided under common law, in which one of the parties to a marriage died and a subsequent challenge to the marriage ensued. InEstate of Toutant, 247 Wisc.2d 400 (2001), the court held that when one of the parties passed away, such that any impediment to a a valid marriage was no longer capable of being corrected, a declaration that a marriage was void was the proper remedy. TheToutant court of appeals affirmed the circuit court's use of its declaratory judgment powers to void the marriage, drawing a distinction between annulment and declaring a marriage void after death. "That distinction had been preserved," said the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the instant case, and a marriage may be declared void after the death of one of the parties. Furthermore, in Williams v. Williams, 63 Wis. 58 (1885), the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that:
. . . a void marriage, whatever the mechanism or process for challenging the validity of the marriage, may be challenged in the lifetime or after the death of the marriage parties, directly or collaterally.
The court in the instant case noted more modern cases that continued to recognize a common law right to post-death challenges to the validity of a marriage.
Void Marriages
Wisconsin case law defines a void marriage as one that's "impossible for [the parties] under the law to contract it, and if it is impossible for them subsequently by any conduct to ratify it, and if the statute expressly declares that the marriage is void"(Davidson v. Davidson, 35 Wis.2d 401 (1967)). And, Wisc. Stat. Section 765.01 requires that an individual be "capable in law of contracting"to marry in Wisconsin. If a party to an alleged marriage is incompetent at the time of a marriage ceremony and subsequently dies before she's able to ratify the marriage, the fatal defect to the marriage can never be cured. In Wisconsin, the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act is the mechanism under which a court may void a marriage, if one of the parties to a marriage is dead. Thus, declaratory judgment authority to review a marriage after the death of one of the parties is necessary.
Abrogation of Common Law?
Joseph argued that even if case law permits a court to invalidate a marriage after death, the 2005 changes to the Wisconsin Statute Section 767 meant that the legislature intended to abrogate this rule and make annulment the only way to invalidate a marriage. The Supreme Court disagreed. Among other things, the Supreme Court noted that the 2005 Wisconsin Act Section 443 contained an explanatory notice after the amendment to the annulment statute, which stated that "Reference to voiding a marriage is not included in the restated language because [Wis. Stat.] ch. 767 does not include actions to void a marriage." In other words, said the court, Chapter 767, "Actions Affecting the Family," doesn't contain an action to void a marriage. The action to void a marriage must proceed under Chapter 765, "Marriage." Additionally, the court noted that drafting records for the amendment don't indicate that the legislature intended for annulment to be the only remedy to invalidate a marriage. "If the legislature had wanted to eliminate this common law remedy, then it would have done so in clear, unambiguous language," stated the court. Moreover, "allowing a court to invalidate a marriage after the death of one of the parties to a void marriage accords with public policy and legislative intent on marriage," stated the court. Finally,
Interpreting the changes to the annulment statute as a limitation on courts would drastically curtail a court's power to address fraud, mistake, and other exigencies in a disputed marriage in order to 'declare rights, status, and other legal relations.' Limiting a court's power would effectively shut off declaratory remedies for parties in an estate action.
Thus, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reaffirmed its holding in Toutant, acknowledging that "annulment is certainly an appropriate remedy to void a marriage when the parties to the marriage are still alive, but it is not the exclusive remedy to challenge the validity of a marriage."

Two days ago, City Hall released its 'Progress Report' for the country's largest public school system. In it, 217 of New York City's public schools were blacklisted for receiving either an F, D or the third C in a row on the Department of Education's report cards.
It was the highest amount of academic centers for youth so far to be considered 'failing' institutions — last year, only 116 schools were scrutinized for underwhelming achievement. However, after immediate scrutiny from teachers and parents alike, the DOE has scratched a bunch of schools off of its 'hit list.'
The move by Bloomberg's administration is a combination of two notions: the onslaught of budget cuts on the horizon and the remnants of a No Child Left Behind mindset.
Using standardized testing scores and other indicators of 'performance,' we would check off the schools that simply weren't makin' it to fix that whole thing called the achievement gap. In this case, 36 of them were underachievers.
Over the next few months, the lives of hundreds of students and where they go to school will be decided by the DOE. According to Schools Deputy Chancellor, Marc Sternberg, "[The DOE has] begun conversations with 36 schools that we have identified as 'struggling.' These are difficult conversations, but it's important to have this dialogue and hold our schools up to the highest standards."
It's like getting fired in the nicest way possible.

Established in 1996, the Howe Sound Research and Conservation Group (HSRCG) support the efforts of the Vancouver Aquarium's Fish Research Team with an annual pledge of $1,000 per donor. Under the direction of Dr. Jeff Marliave, researchers conduct natural history studies, do baseline documentary work and monitor depleted groundfish stocks, enabling us to help enhance and protect marine life. Our Fish Research Team is the only continuous field presence monitoring Howe Sound, as well as the only continuous program in the entire Strait of Georgia region.
Adjacent to downtown Vancouver, Howe Sound is one of North America's southernmost fjords. With waters up to 800ft deep, Howe Sound is home to more than 650 different species of fish and invertebrates. Howe Sound is one of the first regions in B.C. to experience depletion of groundfish stocks (such as rockfishes and lingcod). Howe Sound is also facing pollution from pulp mills and mining, but little biological monitoring of the area has made it difficult to determine the harm done to marine life.
The Fish Research program has integrated laboratory rearing of fish and shrimp from local marine waters with natural history study of these species in the field. The Vancouver Aquarium has conducted research in Howe Sound that has included long term monitoring of boot and cloud sponges, the re-introduction of black rockfish, annual surveys of lingcod spawning and juvenile spot prawns, rockfish monitoring and conservation, and efforts to photo-document the nature of Howe Sound's underwater habitats.
The support of the HSRCG is shared between the integrated laboratory and field efforts of our Fish Research Team. Since the inception of the HSRCG, the success of laboratory propagation has become unprecedented (see our Fish Research Propagation Project). This success not only results in further scientific documentation of early life histories, but provides specimens which make the Vancouver Aquarium a producer, rather than a consumer, of aquatic wildlife.
For more information about HSRCG and fish research at the Aquarium please email@example.com
Vancouver Aquarium, with the support of Sitka Foundation, is conducting a two-year Howe Sound biological monitoring program called Counting on Howe Sound as part of its commitment to researching and enhancing the health of the Howe Sound ecosystem. This initiative identifies and assesses marine species at several locations in Howe Sound while teaching our next generation of taxonomists how to identify the species who call the area home. The information gathered is being used to teach students in schools and communities through the Aquarium's AquaVan and school programs about the amazing natural community under the water right outside of their front doors, and to inspire them to keep learning more about marine biodiversity. Learn more.
Learn about some of the many fish research projects we've carried out over the years, including rockfish winter hiding and Howe Sound sponge monitoring.
Sixgill sharks (Hexanchus griseus) have been recently sighted in Howe Sound by several scuba divers. If you've seen one - we want to know!
Glass sponge reefs are unlike anything else in the world. They can reach 14 metres in height and cover a square kilometre, providing an important habitat for the fish that live in them. There are glass sponge reefs at locations in Howe Sound where the depths are shallow enough to be safe for divers using compressed air. We want your help to document these fragile bioherms.
We are asking divers to share their pictures and videos with us to help with the Annapolis Biodiversity Index Study A.B.I.S. (pronounce "abyss"). The study is expected to run for five years, allowing for a fantastic and continuing opportunity for diver involvement in the program.

Ventev shows off a host of Chargers at CES 2014Ventev gives you plenty of charging options for when both home and on the road.
Hello, everybody. I'm Lynn La from CNET and right now I'm in CES 2014 in Las Vegas with a series of Power Chargers from Ben 10. The first one we're gonna start with is the Dashboard R2240. This is a power charger that has 2 2.4 milliampere outputs so you can charge 2 devices at the same time. The second one is the Power Dash R900. This has a 9,000 milliampere battery inside and it retains its charge. So it's a car charger and a back-up battery charger, as well. So you could use up your mobile device when you're at a pinch. It also has an on-off switch so it doesn't perpetually keep charging your phone. Next up we have the Power Cell 6000 Plus. It's a wall charger as well as back-up battery. You can see it has prongs [unk] and it has 2 outputs here. One has a 1 amp and the other has a 2.1 amp output. Lastly, we have the Utility Charger. This is a two-in-one car charger and wall charger, as you can see here that holds out and tucks in neatly when you're on the go. It doesn't retain a charge but it doesn't need 2 1 amp outputs. Now, if you're interested, these chargers are available online now. And they range from about a price from about $35 to about $80. Again, I'm Lynn from CNET and you've been checking out Power Charges from Ben 10

MINERAL WELLS (CBSDFW.COM) – The thousands who lost their lives in Vietnam are forever memorialized on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.
There is also a growing memorial for Vietnam vets in North Texas that is every bit as moving. Those behind it know first hand what that war was like.
The National Vietnam War Museum is right off Highway 180, heading into Mineral Wells, with a Bell UH-1 helicopter, or Huey, at its entrance. The museum includes a quiet, wide-open space, with a meditation garden, a number of moving memorials, a visitor's center and a memorial wall.
The wall itself is a favorite place for volunteer groundskeeper, and retired Vietnam Army helicopter pilot, Gary Salsisbury to share with visitors.
"We'll get up close and the person will say, 'Do you feel that? Do you feel it?" says Salsisbury.
The same is true for the museum's president, former Army Chief Warrant Officer Jim Messinger.
"The meaning for me is over there on that black and white wall. Our replica. We built this place for them."
Both men were among the 40 thousand who learned to fly helicopters just a mile away, at Fort Wolters. Mineral Wells was home to the army's primary helicopter school from 1957-1973. Most new pilots were shipped off to Vietnam. Some returned to Mineral Wells, and a small band of Vietnam brothers brought their dream of this memorial to life in 2007.
The Vietnam Wall that they built is roughly half the size of the one in Washington D.C. But outside of the size difference, everything else, is exactly the same, including the spot CBS 11's Doug Dunbar found his father's name on panel 32w, line 37.
Former Army Command Sgt. Major Hayward Bellah says this place isn't about choosing a side.
"We're not here to promote the Vietnam War," he says. "We're here to tell and educate people about the Vietnam War. From the Vietnamese standpoint, the U.S. standpoint, the college standpoint. All of em'."
The hope is to eventually build a much bigger and more formal home for displays, the current visitors center is government surplus.
Museum president Jim Messinger may be around to see it. He tried to quit six years ago, but he says somebody has to do it.
If you want to visit, the National Vietnam War Museum is right off Highway 80, about 4 miles east of downtown Mineral Wells.

RN Refresher or Exam Prep Course
Hello, I have a question about whether I should take an RN refresher course or just an exam prep course. I qualified in the UK in 2001 as a Pediatric RN. I worked in the OR at a children's Hospital. I came to the US in 2009 but was not successful with the NCLEX and after 5 attempts and the Kaplan course for international nurses, I gave up trying. I have not practiced as an RN for about 7 years, however, I have somewhat remained in the line of health care work. I spent 3 years working as a caregiver and the past 4 years as a Health Service Manager for an Early Learning Program (very similar to a school nurse but more paperwork). I really want to return to nursing. The state I am living in does not require for me to take a RN refresher course, they just want me to pass the exam and I can continue taking it as many times as needed. However, since my training and experience was all specialized in Pediatrics I feel that I definitely need some sort of review. I have been considering the Hurst and NCSBN review courses but I am wondering if doing an RN refresher would be more beneficial. Would a refresher really prepare me for the exam? Should I do the refresher and then a exam course after that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
About julieanne1980, BSN
Joined: Oct '16; Posts: 6; Likes: 1Nov 11, '16I took a Nurse Refresher course in Stafford, Texas I do not think the course would prepare you for the NCLEX. It was great but, really focused on preparing you for a return to safe clinical practice. No test or quiz emphasis except for enough Math and Pharmacology to ensure you could pass a work quiz. One of the instructors called it brushing off the cobwebs.
I would suggest you do a NCLEX review where they will look at your previous exams and what areas you are deficient. There are several local ones that are in person. I think if you google nurse refresher program Houston you should find it. I think I cannot write a link according to the rules. I do not know Dr. Umeh Johnson but, several LVNs at my job have used her and passed.Nov 12, '16Thanks for sharing your experience. I am in Washington and have looked at options. I am a single parent that homeschools my kids and work full time so I think a self paced online course would be best for me. For the last few months I have been studying my Kaplan course books, library books and Khan acadamy. I know I am weak in content because my training was only in pediatrics so am thinking Hurst will be a good course to take.Nov 23, '16Where in Washington do you live? I live in Oregon and just completed an RN Reentry course. It includes 160 hours of clinicals-- which honestly is the best thing you can do in a reentry course, IMO. I know a lot of nurses are licensed in both Oregon and Washington, so I'm wondering if you could get licensed easier in Oregon and then get your Washington license via endorsement? I did not have to re-take the NCLEX as a part of my reentry. There were tests and assignments during the course. It was through Health and Educational Consultants.Nov 28, '16Thanks for the info. Im in Whatcom County, but I found out I can't take the refresher course. The state won't give me a temporary license for the clinical portion. They said once I pass the NCLEX then I can take the course. My reason for wanting to take the course was to help me pass the exam! To get licensed in Oregon, I still need to pass the NCLEX. I trained and worked in UK, I taken the NCLEX several times but not passed.Nov 28, '16Oh, Julieanne, I understand now. Well I know studying for the NCLEX (especially when your educational prep was different) must be challenging. If I recall, I think someone else might have suggested a study program to you? I think this would be a great investment for you. My advice is to pass the NCLEX and then do a refresher WITH a clinical component. That can get you in the door somewhere as well as help her you up to speed skills-wise. I know this is a lot. I know it well. It's kind of like getting a jet engine off the ground -- restarting your nursing career -- it takes a whole lot of dedication and energy and patience up front.
Also, almost all of my refresher really "felt" like review-- but I studied it hard. I spent a few weeks studying full time -- literally 8 hours a day 5/6 days a week. That didn't include the stuff I studied for critical care (that's my specialty -- did my clinical in ICU).
My point is don't be discouraged -- it IS a lot of hard work and networking. But if you want to get back into nursing this is what it looks like. You do need good resources but you can do it!Jan 11, '17Hello there! I'm in Salem, OR. I'm looking into Health and Educational Consultants' re-entry program, since my LPN license expired in 2012. I was wondering if you could tell me a little about your experience with their program?Jan 12, '17@WestCoastSunRN can you tell me a bit about more about how the clinical portion of Oregon's Re-entry program works? I am going to be starting it this year at some point, but would like more specifics about how the BON chooses the clinical site/shifts. Thank you!

The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Classic Edition #1)
|Beatrix Potter
|Peter Rabbit
|Beatrix Potter
|Peter Rabbit
This original, authorised version has been lovingly recreated electronically for the first time, with reproductions of Potter's unmistakeable artwork optimised for use on colour devices such as the iPad. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902 and endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tale. Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of publication bringing it closer to the original edition, six illustrations were restored, four that were removed in 1903 to make room for endpapers and two that have never been used before, Beatrix having initially prepared more illustrations than could be accommodated in the original format.
Youngsters love the naughty rabbit who is always getting into scrapes and the beautiful but simple illustrations are timeless masterpieces -- Natasha Harding Sun online 20091203
Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous little books. A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.

Grain Growers' Associations
Grain growers' associations are a group of farm organizations formed on the Prairies in the early 20th century. They developed in the wake of the Manitoba Grain Act (July 1900), which regulated railways and grain elevators in the interests of grain growers. This Act, the result of considerable agitation in rural areas since the late 1880s, was regarded by farmers as a major victory. But dissatisfaction with the handling of the 1901 bumper crop led farmers at Indian Head (in present-day Saskatchewan) to convene a meeting in December 1901, at which the Territorial Grain Growers' Association was formed. The Manitoba Grain Growers' Association, established 1903 at Virden, followed. In 1906 the Territorial Grain Growers' Association was divided into the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association and the Alberta Farmers' Association. The latter joined with the Canadian Society of Equity to create the UNITED FARMERS OF ALBERTA in 1909. In 1920 the Manitoba Grain Growers' Association was reorganized as the UNITED FARMERS OF MANITOBA in an attempt to gain the support of all farmers and to proclaim an intention to enter politics. The Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association amalgamated with the Farmers' Union of Canada in 1926 to create the militant UNITED FARMERS OF CANADA (Saskatchewan Section).
Grain growers' associations were powerful spokesmen for the Prairies and Canadian agriculture generally. They lobbied provincial and federal governments for reform of the grain-marketing system and improvement of rural life. They sponsored the development of 3 large farmer-owned grain-marketing organizations, the Grain Growers' Grain Co (1906), the Saskatchewan Co-operative Elevator Co (1911) and the Alberta Farmers' Co-operative Elevator Co (1913). They published the GRAIN GROWERS' GUIDE 1908-28, which was the main voice of western agriculture until the mid-1920s. The associations agitated for better roads, schools and medical care for the countryside.
Particularly responsive to the plight of rural women, they embraced WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE and helped to win the vote for women on the Prairies during WWI. Technically, the associations were politically neutral, but some early leaders, such as Liberals C.A. DUNNING, W.R. MOTHERWELL and T.A. CRERAR, achieved national political prominence. Politics, however, was a vexing issue for the associations and was one of the reasons they disappeared after farmers began to assert themselves and demand a more direct voice in the political process.

brought this over from another site. thought it was pretty good.
I talked with a guy that just returned from a trip into Iraq for banking matters .All new was very good they took his large notes for deposit and he was able to get some small notes in hand but the bulk of it was noted as a 25 k deposit. they knew what he wanted and would not exchange all large for all small at this time .But did get 20%in small notes that day of deposit.He is Kurdish and it was a northern Trade Bank of Iraq. He was told its 1 to 1 or a little above the USD and it is to happen at the end of Ramadan.And if we do not see it then it would 100% be coming right before the holiday shopping season right before Thanksgiving ,saying it was for the USA economy. People are buying land right know not stocks in Iraq. I have said to much and hope he does not read DV. **** Cheney has a new book coming out . It has everything to do with your investment .It was to release in late spring then they pushed it to august 02 and the debt deadline took that date over . Now the release and book tour is beginning August 30 . being one of the key master minds to your dinar,oil and region stability do you think he's going to tour with good or bad RV timing
Ramadan is the big window 75% . As far as dinar to U.S. shopping that is what was said to him by more than one banking manager.I do not understand the shopping myself it must be Obama wanting it to come on the heels of his campaign and I will see it and not be voting for him. He did not return with several different RV stories all banking had the same info.No one said LOP no one said 2012 it was all very good news. He said that Iraq is in charge of the RV not the US or United Nations.

Lindsay Lohan's friends have denied reports she has converted to Islam, but revealed the actress is "educating herself" about the religion.
The actress sparked claims she may have had a religious awakening when she deleted all her posts on Instagram and used Arabic greeting "Alaikum salam" (sic), which translates as "and unto you peace", for her profile on the photo-sharing site.
However, friends of the Mean Girls star have now revealed she has yet to officially convert, but is exploring the Muslim faith as part of a wider education.
"Lindsay is educating herself on different cultures and their practices to be able to better understand the people and communicate," a friend of the actress and humanitarian told New York Post's gossip column Page Six.
Following Lindsay's Instagram cull, many took it as confirmation she had embraced Islam, with one woman writing on Twitter: "Im so happy that lindsay lohan found Islam. may Allah guide her and bless her." Another added: "I heard that Lindsay Lohan converted to Islam? If its true, alhamdulillah. God has shown her the right path to now follow."
It's not the first time that Lindsay has sparked speculation of converting to Islam - she was previously photographed holding a copy of the Quran, the central religious text of Islam, while doing community service in Brooklyn, New York, back in 2015.
But the actress' mother Dina Lohan added to Page Six that she has "raised my children to be compassionate and to educate themselves on a global level - to learn about different cultures and their practices and to respect them!"
After the pictures emerged of Lindsay holding the Quran in 2015, she appeared on Turkish talk show Haber Turk later that year and said the book was a present from friends.
"My very close friends, who have been there for me a lot, in London are Saudi and they gave me the Quran and I brought it to New York because I was learning," she said. "It opened doors for me to experience spiritually, to find another true meaning. This is who I am."
When she was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in 2014, following her sixth stint in rehab, Lindsay told the host she is interested in a number of religions.
"I'm a very spiritual person and I've become more spiritual as time has gone on," she said. "I'm really in touch, whether it's prayer or meditation... there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I've been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people."

The best indexes to articles on specific topics are generally found in our subscription databases. These allow you to search hundreds (sometimes thousands) or journals at once, specifying keywords, subjects, geographic limits, date limits, etc. The complete list of our databases (alphabetically with descriptions) is at http://library.sacredheart.edu/databases; some databases suggested for various subject areas are listed at http://library.sacredheart.edu/databases-subject. A reference librarian can recommend particular databases depending on your area of research.
Another valuable tool with which to find research articles and papers is Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/schhp?hl=en). Google does not provide direct access to subscription journals, but does provide links to those that have been found on public websites. If you are on the SHU network, Google will also show links to those articles identified as being in our databases. A reference librarian can help you locate full text of other articles retrieved via Google Scholar.
Some important indexes and abstracts are available in print on the lower level of the library, for example, the New York Times Index and the Art Index. These are more cumbersome to use than the online tools, but can help you access resources not included in the online databases.
Reference librarians are available for research consultations to assist you in developing a comprehensive search strategy.

On the Calibration and Commissioning of Lighting Controls
F. Rubinstein, D. Avery, J. Jennings and S. Blanc. Proceedings of the Right Light 4 Conference, Copenhagen, Denmark, November 19-21, 1997Review by Scott Schuetter, Energy Center of Wisconsin:
Rubinstein et al. discuss commissioning and calibration of lighting control systems. Specifically, they address the importance of both as well as advice for effective performance. In this context, commissioning is a process for ensuring the lighting system performs as the design intended. The authors note that the majority of systems are not commissioned at all. Calibration is defined as the adjustment of a sensor in order to get the desired output from a given input. Specific activities for both calibration and commissioning include:
- Verifying photosensor placement and orientation. Adjusting sensor and controller to obtain desired light level on the working plane.
- Verifying occupancy sensor placement and orientation. Adjusting the sensitivity and time delay.
- Inputting correct start and stop times into the lighting control software.
- Setting upper and lower dimming limits.
Three tips for calibrating a photosensor are outlined. The first is to place the sensor in the ceiling near the primary working area. The second is to calibrate the sensor at a distance if possible. The final tip is to use a photometer in conjunction with the calibration to provide feedback as to the working plane's illuminance level. The authors conclude by suggesting that an open-loop control systems may be properly calibrated in approximately 30 minutes, while close-looped systems are consistently more difficult to calibrate.

He spits in his rag, washes my car window
A sign of the times
What sign is that, I ask myself?
That America is in trouble?
That our veterans have no place to live?
That a roof over one's head is not a necessity
For a Marine?
Who fought for our security and more? Who now
Sleeps on the ground next to his wheel chair.
Since he has no other place to sleep
Except the grass beneath his sleeping bag.
Roll up a $20 bill and gently place it in his palm
His fingers close around it.
His eyes remain closed, his breathing slows.
I turn my eyes to the cerulean sky recalling
I have no job, nor means of support…
I have $20, a roof over my head, food in my fridge
And there but for the grace of God…
Go I…

Gatta is a typical Rajasthani dish made without garlic and onion and its made in tomato gravy. I just thought of experiment it and making a sweet cashew based gravy and instead of regular besan ke gatte i thought of adding palak puree. This recipe has two parts.. one is to make the gatta and another is making the gravy.
boiling the onions before making into a paste is to remove the sharp taste.

Are Harassment-Tolerant Environments More Fun?
KJ, I want to agree with all your points in your rebuttal to Katie Roiphe's piece in the New York Times, and I want to add one more: I dispute the notion that we need to have men saying cruel things to women and using sex as a weapon to initimidate women in order for our lives not to be drab or quiet. On the contrary, I believe that our lives are more fun, more colorful, and yes, far sexier if sex is seen more as a way to have fun between consenting adults and not as a way for the easily provoked man to put a woman in her place. This is doubly true if you believe women share a right with men to lives where sex is fun, interactions with colleagues are pleasant, and work is a productive, creative place to be. After all, if you work in a place where men freely intimidate you with faux-jokes about your body, and pester you for dates after you've been clear you don't want to date them, work can't be fun anymore, but a place where you keep your head low and hope to get through the day without drawing any attention to yourself.
I've worked in many different environments since I was legally able to draw a paycheck, and I can safely say that the only people who benefit when harassment is free-wheeling are those men with a sadistic streak who enjoy watching women squirm. I've seen a lot of men harass women in my time, and it's never once added to the joyfulness in a room. On the contrary, it tends to discourage interactions for fear of being harassed. It's especially lethal to humor. When you have a harasser in your midst, you tend to avoid telling jokes or being visibly merry, because you may attract him and his desire to assert power over you by saying something bullying, disguised as a joke or not. When I've worked in places where clear boundaries were set and sexual harassers had a short lease, the opposite happened: Setting expected minimums of respect for your colleagues freed the majority of people from fear, and made them happier, jokier, and more likely to socialize---even date! The one time in my working career where I had to discipline someone for sexual harassment (he insisted on making gross comments about every woman's body who walked by in front of two female co-workers who ranked below him), you could see an immediate improvement in everyone's relationships and mood after the harassment stopped. Even the harasser didn't seem too put out about having to keep his running commentary about strangers' breast sizes to himself.
If this doesn't make sense, consider the world outside of work and the work done to make sure sadists and bores don't ruin it for everyone else. Most bars throw out men who grope because they recognize that they detract from the fun for everyone else, after all. If women can't wear miniskirts to social occasions without getting harassed, they probably will stop wearing miniskirts ... or showing up at all. Nothing sounds more drab to me than the sausage fest environment created when women avoid a social situation for fear of harassment. Even Occupy Wall Street can provide a quick lesson in this: The self-centered drummers, using the "we just gotta be free!" arguments, are ruining it for everyone else and putting the protest itself in danger. My God, we even kick people who talk during movies out for ruining it for everyone else! Surely restraining the behavior of men who get a rise out of harassing women can't cross a line in the very same world that's littered with "no cell phone" signs. After all, unlike if someone takes a cell phone call during a movie, being sexually harassed can cause you ongoing stress and threaten your livelihood.
As for the notion that there's some sort of conflict between being sexually assertive and/or having a ribald sense of humor and social, legal, and ethical requirements not to harass, I'm sorry, but I'm skeptical. I have a filthy mouth and an assertive, unapologetic sexuality. (Interestingly, the people who complain about this in my writing overlap almost completely with the same kind of people defending Herman Cain.) Somehow I manage not to sexually harass anyone, usually by remembering the concept of "consent" and not imposing unwelcome attention or jokes on people who haven't indicated any consent. Since I, a mere female, am capable of not sexually harassing, I feel certain that we can hold men to the very same standard.

Jaron Freeman-Fox
Genre: Classical, Contemporary Folk, Instrumental, Jazz
Contorting the violin into new traditions, violinist/composer JARON FREEMAN-FOX dances down the fine line between the beautiful and the ridiculous, while redefining what the violin can do. Having produced or played on over 40 albums and toured the world many times over as a solo artist, bandleader or collaborator with bands such as Delhi 2 Dublin, Ben Caplan, and Sam Lee, Freeman-Fox fuses his roots of fiddling with his study of Indian classical music and jazz, while playing the 5-string violins of his late mentor; fiddle pioneer Oliver Schroer.
In 2013, after 3 years of touring, writing, recording and spelunking with his fiery band Jaron Freeman-Fox & the Opposite of Everything, the group's new album was released into the wild and greeted by enthusiastic reviews, radio play around the world, and 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards!
Folks may be intrigued by the fact that Jaron has performed for 100,000 people and the young royal couple on Parliament hill; or that his debut album "Manic Almanac : Slow Möbius" won an Independent Music Award; or that he's shared the stage with Delhi 2 Dublin, Tanya Tagaq, and James Kudelka. Jaron however, is most proud of the fact that he's broken three different fiddles on stage and zero bones, had his violin stolen by monkeys in Bali and got it back without contracting rabies, and has the honour of featuring his absolute favourite musicians in the world, in his band The Opposite of Everything.

Winds of Change
The continent of Bredania was once the most powerful civilization in the world. A place of enlightenment, massive cities, kings, knights, and prosperity. Those times are long gone. Civilizations struggle to survive in the once great Empire, small spots of light in a world of darkness. Ruins dot the lands hiding treasures of lost civilizations. Monsters roam freely, pillaging the settlements that are left. To the north, beyond The Wall – now a shadow of its former self and crumbling from disrepair – lies Kursk, a frozen land where barbarians and mountains reign. To the south lies Atlia, where the sun grows warmer and warlords of all kinds torment the people. Farther south still lie The Wilds, where only the bravest dare venture. Dense jungles hide strange beasts the likes of which no Bredanian has ever seen. It is said that somewhere beyond the wilds lie the Fey worlds, where Elves, Eladrin, and other Fey creatures came, but such things are only legend. It is rumored that more worlds still lie beyond the oceans, but no means but no living creature has ever been able to verify such allegations, any ships going to sea never return, although some coastal people swear to have seen deserts so immense that they are all but uninhabitable, but that giant bug-men roam the wastes and giants have bred with men. Others whisper of a world where ships fly and steam is harnessed in ways heretofore unimagined. Such tales are only for children.
You are adventurers in Bredania. The world around you is changing. It will be up to you if that change is for the better or worse.

Detectives looking for AK-47 gunman in Dayton
WALL OF JUSTICE: Law enforcement is asking for your help finding suspects in a double shooting that occurred on Third and Gettysburg streets, in which one of the victims was fatally shot.
Tashawna Gaines and her boyfriend, James Jones, were shot Aug. 17, 2016.
"When they were stopped at Third and Gettysburg, a dark-colored sedan was pulled up next to them and a passenger in that sedan opened fire with an AK-47," Montgomery County Sheriff's Detective Brad Daugherty.
Gaines was shot and killed. Her boyfriend was paralyzed from his injuries in the shooting.
Detectives don't know much about the suspects but do believe they know the car they were driving.
"We do know there was two vehicles kind of following each other that was also following the victim's vehicle," Daugherty said.
The shooting happened on a busy corner in Dayton.
"We believe that there's people out there that knows who did this and we just ask that the public come forward with any information so we can give this family some closure," Daugherty said.
Detectives say the suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.
"Anybody that's going to just roll up next to a car and no matter who else is inside and just open fire with AK-47 knowing that potential for injuries is very likely," Daugherty said. "We want him off the street. He's a danger to society and we want him in custody as soon as possible."
If you have any information on this crime, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 222-STOP (937-222-7867).

Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.
We usually recondition the packaging of the products to limit their volume and to offer maximum discretion to our customers. However, in order to prove the authenticity, all products can be shipped in their original package which you can precise when filling out the checkout form.

When: Sat. Nov. 19, 2016; 8 pm ET
Where: Piscataway, NJ; High Point Solutions Stadium (52,454)
All-Time Series: Penn State leads 24-2
Last Meeting: Penn State 28-3 win, in 2015
Line: Penn State (-28)
It's not that hard to recall this being a competitive prime time showdown game to introduce Rutgers to the Big Ten in week 3 of the 2014 season. That game finished 13-10 in favor of James Franklin's team, but these two programs could not be in more distinctive places just two years later in the first game back in New Jersey.
Rutgers is winless in conference play and is the first Power 5 conference team since Baylor in 2008 to be shut out at least three times in a season, while Penn State is in position to go to its first Big Ten Championship with two wins and 1 more Michigan loss. If nothing else, Penn State is playing to stay in position for a New Year's Six major bowl game, the first since a Rose Bowl appearance in the 2008 season. Thus, while the game will be treated as important by both teams, the Nittany Lions have a lot more pressure to perform well in this game where they are favored by a ton on paper.
Chris Ash has not had a lot to smile about in his first season at the helm of Rutgers, but the wheels had not really fallen off until the 49-0 ambush by previously-winless (in conference play) Michigan State last week. It will be interesting to see if the Scarlet Knights can dust themselves off and come up with a huge effort to make this game close on Senior Day. It's all about building blocks for the future, as Rutgers is in quite a tough division with a long road to travel to get back to competitive.
1 Burning Question: Will the Home Field Advantage in a Night Game make a Difference?
This is actually a similar question I asked about Michigan-Iowa last week, but that had more to do with Michigan being totally untested so far (and just look what happened). Penn State plays incredibly well at home and has for many years, with 2016 being no different. However, on the road PSU has gone 2-2, with the wins coming in struggles for over a half against Purdue and in a narrow come-from-behind win at Indiana. These are not performances which inspire confidence, especially considering the competition level has not been great in those wins.
Meanwhile, Rutgers has actually played many more close games than not when at High Point Solutions Stadium. Both of Rutgers's wins have come at home, and conference games against Iowa, Illinois and Indiana there have been close. Thus, maybe this is just the platform Rutgers needs to knock off a team that may be playing tight now that so much is on the line beyond what Penn State has experienced for a decade.
Sure, the statistics and other factors below will nearly all favor the Nittany Lions. That's to be expected when one team is a national title contender and the other is the worst in the conference. But maybe this is one of those inexplicable shockers waiting to happen in November…it's certainly more likely in this setting than if this game were in Happy Valley.
Also, let's all hope Rutgers does something fun again like… #StripeTheBirthplace.
2 Key Stats:
— 31.9% and 28.5%. That's the third down conversion percentage for Rutgers and Penn State, respectively (12th and 13th in B1G). Most of the statistics favor Penn State in this game, but one where both teams are equally struggling is picking up third downs and maintaining long drives. If both teams struggle to pick up first downs in this game, then it could become a battle of field position and special teams. That still favors Penn State, but it's one way Rutgers can exploit a potential weakness of the Lions. Of course, Rutgers has to stop PSU on first and second down, which brings us to our second key stat of the week.
— 251.3. That's the rushing defense yards per game surrendered by Rutgers (14th in B1G). Running back Saquon Barkley is a top contender for Big Ten player of the year, and he has to be excited with the opportunity to continue his recent string of success against the worst rushing defense in the conference. Rutgers, quite simply, has not been able to fill the gaps in the running game when an opposing offensive line plays well. The Nittany Lions are better up front than they have been in a long time, which bodes poorly for Rutgers as the Scarlet Knights try to figure out how to slow down Barkley and get the PSU offense off the field quickly.
3 Key Players:
Saquon Barkley, Penn State RB: Who else would you start the key players with than perhaps the one weapon Rutgers is not built to stop? Unlike some Big Ten programs, Barkley is a one-man show in the running game, and as such, he leads the Big Ten with a 111.3 yard per game average. His 13 touchdowns are second only to Rodney Smith out at Minnesota, so look for him to break off a couple big runs and score a couple of touchdowns in this prime time spotlight game (maybe much like he did when it counted against Minnesota earlier this season).
Trevor Morris, Rutgers LB: Despite there not being much to brag about on a defense that has been rolled by many opponents this season, Morris has stepped up and led this defense with 84 tackles through 10 games. If the Knights are to have any chance of stopping the Nittany Lions, and Barkley in particular, Morris needs to have a great game reading the plays before and as they happen (he and FS Kiy Hester will both be relied on in the middle of this defense). In a season without many bright points, Morris is a potential bright spot for the future as he is only a sophomore. He's also from Malvern, Pennsylvania, so this is a big game for him playing against some old friends, and that may raise his level of play even more on Saturday.
Giovanni Rescigno, Rutgers QB: As the season spiraled a bit out of control, Chris Ash decided to give the redshirt sophomore Rescigno a chance at quarterback. Since taking over for Chris Laviano, the sophomore has struggled at times, throwing 5 touchdowns and 5 interceptions to go with a 52% completion rate. That's actually better than experienced QB Chris Laviano was doing, so maybe this is a step in the right direction as well as for building the future under coach Chris Ash. As long as PSU can keep top target WR Jawuan Harris contained, Rescigno could have a long day and be the difference in a negative way in this one.

Simple and elegant, our Kinetic Stack Chair is durable and lightweight. Designed to stack quickly and easily, the sturdy chrome frame provides a solid base for the 18" x 18" black polypropylene seat and 19"h x 12"w back.
Ergonomic in design, the Kinetic Stack Chair offers superior lumbar support designed to combat fatigue.

Space-efficient, the Kinetic Stack Chair is perfect for small waiting rooms, banquet halls, conference rooms, and convention centers.
Note: VersaTables does not make this product
The Kinetic Stack chairs do exactly what our web site says they'll do. They're easy to stack, lightweight, won't tip, and don't scratch up the floor. The best thing about them in my opinion though, is how they look. They look way more expensive than they are and they make any room look great.
VersaTables was founded over ten years ago on the basic principle of producing high-quality products at a great price.Lifetime Warranty Green Practices
I got a whole bunch of these for the rec center I work at instead of those crappy folding chairs. Definitely a costly option but they are more comfortbale and don't make all that noise and they are easier to move around and store.
Nice simple chair that stacks easier and is more comfortable than those old palstic chairs the office used before. Theere was a bit of a shipping snafu that I needed to folow up on as the office manager, but nothing major andin the end everything was figured out.I think its a good product.
These chairs look like they cost a lot more than they actually do! Great quality, easy to stack, they're nice enough to make a room look dressy enough for a banquet or special occasion. They also stack easily and don't take up a lot of space. We purchased the holder as well, but honestly, it's not necessary.
Say goodbye to the days of ugly old molded plastic or rusty folding chairs that pinch your fingers every time you open them! These are terrific! They stack easily and come apart easily making set up for a meeting or conference a snap, they're actually really comfortable so you don't find yourself constantly moving to keep your back from aching, and they don't scratch the floor. I love how you can just pick one up with the built in handle on the chair's back. Plus, they just look classy! They're nice enough to use for a wedding and we have! I recommend them and this company. We ordered 200 and not a single one was defective.

Party City Guide for Throwing the Ultimate Halloween Parties
Oct 12, 2010, 10:00 ET
ROCKAWAY, N.J., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Halloween sets the scene for menacing jack-o-lanterns, costumed trick-or-treaters and over-the-top, spooktacular Halloween parties. The Halloween experts at Party City are introducing three new party themes for the 2010 Halloween season. This year, incorporate the latest design trends and party ideas from Party City to transform suburban bliss into a fantastically frightening scene.
Fangtasia – Vampire Party. The vampire craze, supported by the intense popularity for the Twilight saga and True Blood series, makes vampire-themed parties the favorable choice this year.
- Play with textures and drape couches, countertops and mantels with lace cobwebs and black cheese clothes.
- Use low-wattage black bulbs and lighted pillar candles set in gothic-style candelabras to cast an eerie mood.
- Serve vampire-themed drinks that pack a big bite, including Blood-tinis, Vampire Kisses, Death on the Beaches, and classic Bloody Marys. Party City's black rose glasses, syringe shots and skull goblets will keep guests' thirst at bay.
- Accentuate the dark glamour of vampires with Party City's gothic-inspired Midnight Dreary tableware collection paired with a black rose centerpiece "dripping" with blood-splattered roses.
Shocktail Party – Adult-inspired Spooky Soiree. Leave the standard pumpkin-look behind and instead host a spooky yet sophisticated Halloween cocktail party.
- Add eye-catching details to tableware by layering black onyx chargers with Party City's fleur-de-lis "Shocktail" dessert plates to add a touch of spooky elegance. Accent the place setting with orange embellishments, like orange napkins and cutlery.
- Disguise beverage bottles with clever Halloween bottle labels that feature ghoulish slogans, such as "Raven's Blood Brew" and "Spider Sting Cider."
- Decorate the room with stylish paper lanterns like Party City's Halloween-themed lanterns that feature orange and black damask prints.
Haunt Your Home – Family-friendly Halloween Party. Create a whimsical children's Halloween party that compliments the mood of the season without scaring the littlest of goblins.
- Treat guests young and old with a delicious Halloween-themed candy bar. Create an enticing display with candy eyeballs, black and white jelly beans, candy corn, and gummi worms in Party City's clear apothecary jars.
- Place a steamy cauldron in the center of the tablescape and add dry ice to create a bubbling "truth serum" or "fountain of youth" that is sure to enchant your guests.
- Surprise guests and watch them giggle at a collection of silly creepy-crawlers, like jumbo spiders and furry rats, "peeking" through couch cushions, window blinds, and under tables.
As the premier Halloween specialty retailer, Party City provides party planners with a vast array of Halloween party supplies and decor perfect for any Halloween theme. For additional information on Halloween party supplies or Halloween costumes and accessories, visit a local Party City store or visit www.partycity.com.

"We're not getting anything. I have written to commanders in the field, 3-, 4-star admirals and generals, and the response I got out of the Department of Defense is that "we will not be able to answer your simple yes and no questions," that I'm sure they already know the answers to. "We will not be able to answer them on your timeline (which was now a couple of weeks ago when I wrote the letter), and we do not know when we'll be able to respond."
"And the other requests that we've asked for briefings, "we will not be able to comply with." This is the first time I've seen where the military has been basically silenced, when they could not answer a direct yes and no question from the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee".
"The one who knows it all, that could clear it all up, is out campaigning and is totally silent on the issue after telling us he wants us to have all the information as soon as he receives it".

This will be a classic example of "blow-back" and I think the content of the enclosed article goes well beyond mere conjecture and idle speculation. Some predictions as they relate to momentous events such as Benghazi-Gate oftentimes bear a sense of the ominous - of foreboding. The predicative speculation contained within this article certainly fits the description of an omen; a prediction, or a presentiment of great import, especially of a coming political and military upheaval - possibly even the portent of martial law.
Dave Hodges - The Common Sense Show
Opening paragraph(s)
November 4, 2012 - The United States military is in a state of war in the Middle East and President Obama has committed the unprecedented action of firing two senior level command officers for what would comprise the leadership of an attack force against Iran and potentially China and Russia. This action is so unprecedented, so reckless, that it is difficult to comprehend. Please allow me to offer a sports analogy in order to explain the magnitude of this action. Imagine that your favorite football was on the eve of the Super Bowl and the owner of your team fired both the head coach and the quarterback the night before the big game. Wouldn't this throw your team into a state of disarray? Of course it would, and subsequently your team would face annihilation. This is exactly the case with our forces in the Middle East after the firing of these two military leaders at this critical point in time. The deposing and subsequent arrest of AFRICOM commanding officer, General Carter Ham, and the firing of Carrier task force commander, Admiral Charles M. Gayouette is an irresponsible move by the Obama administration and has left a leadership void in the Middle East that has needlessly put the lives of our military at risk.
The positions held by Hamm and Gayouette are so powerful and so sensitive, their replacements will require approval from the Senate. Why would Obama engage in such a reckless act when the country is so close to war? Very simply, both men were jointly attempting to rescue Ambassador Stevens and his bodyguards, despite being told to stand down by Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta. There is now proof that Obama was warned in advance of the coming attack in which Stevens begged for more protection and his impassioned plea was denied by Clinton.
General Ham and Admiral Gayouette

The most powerful commander of American forces in the MENA was suddenly announced to be stepping down early from the position and putting in early retirement, weeks after the Libya fiasco. An admiral was relieved from duty in mid-deployment at one of the most dangerous places on earth. Something that hasn't happened in twenty years.
The president, and his staff have been caught flat out lying over what they knew and when they knew it.
and had watched the attack unfold live on drone video for SEVEN HOURS.
not to mention tried to springboard it into an excuse to shutdown free speech on the internet.
After the fact, BHO tried to say he had ordered all available forces to respond, yet BHO's own Panetta said no action was taken because it was too dangerous.
If this is a conspiracy-truth site, why are you waving the big "move along, nothing to see" sign?

As soon as terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Libya, dozens of headquarters -- including AFRICOM and EUROCOM -- are notified so they can begin their planning for rescue operations, but, as Braken writes, [color=amber] "there is one thing they can't do without explicit orders from the president: cross an international border on a hostile mission."

We can be 100% certain that cross-border authority was never given. How do I know this? Because if CBA was granted and the rescue mission execute orders were handed down, irrefutable records exist today in at least a dozen involved component commands, and probably many more.
Americans on the ground were ready and able to help Stevens and the other Americans who were under siege in Libya, but Obama never gave them the "cross-border authority" required for them to do so, which meant U.S. resources stationed on the ground in the region -- and U.S. drones and gunships in the area -- were never used.

In religious art, graphic design, and the natural world, the trefoil is a commonly seen shape. The word comes from a Latin term that translates roughly as three-leaved. Certain plants are known to often sprout in a trifoliate pattern, including certain species of clover, birdsfoot, and poison oak. Over time, the unique three-leaf pattern has become greatly symbolic, and is often found in religious and heraldic motifs.
Many people know the three-leaf symbol as a warning sign of danger. The poison oak and poison ivy plants, found in temperate regions, feature a three-leafed design made famous by the common saying, "Leaves of three, let them be." These plants are known to cause an itchy rash that can last for days after contact, making the trifoliate menace important to avoid while traveling in woody areas.
Clover or shamrocks are often depicted as trefoliate when used in the national symbolism of Ireland. Throughout the country, they are used as an identifying emblem, prominently found on the sports team paraphernalia and even painted on the airplanes of the Irish airplane giant, Aer Lingus. Some believe that the association of the trefoil shamrock with Ireland dates back to the days of St. Patrick, who, according to legend, brought Christianity to Ireland. In some parts of the world, Irish ancestry is celebrated by wearing a shamrock on 17 March, also known as St. Patrick's Day.
The shape is an apt emblem of Christianity throughout the world, as it is often used to visually represent the holy trinity of God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The patterns are often found in cathedral and church architecture, both as carved symbols and sometimes as windows. It is prominently found in Christian structures built during the age of Gothic architecture, mostly between the 12th to the 16th centuries.
The trefoil also appears as heraldic imagery, cropping up quite frequently in coats of arms and family symbols. In addition to displaying Irish ancestry or a connection to Ireland, the symbol can also stand for perpetuity. In many Girl Scout and Girl Guide troops, it is representative of a three-part promise made by members.
The Girl Scout use of the design is only one example of the many modern symbols that make use of this ancient motif. Looking closely at the symbols for recycling, bio-hazards, or radioactivity, the influence of the three-leaved image is evident. In many different forms of symbolism, three is considered a powerful number; it is significant not only to Christianity, but also to Buddhism, Hinduism, Platonic philosophy, and even the practice of Wicca. As a visual representation of the powerful three, the trefoil pattern continues to remain a significant image in modern motifs.

@eidetic - I learned about baroque art in an art history survey course I took in college. I remember discussing the trefoil too! Symbolism was an important part of Christian architecture around that time period, so as you said, a lot of churches featured the trefoil.
Post 3
I took history of baroque art when I was in college, so I'm familiar with the trefoil as a Christian symbol. As the article said, the trefoil shows up a lot in church architecture.
I had to learn to identify certain churches and cathedrals when I was taking my art class, so I learned to tell the difference between differences places by their layout and decoration. I have to admit the trefoils confused me, because so many cathedrals had the same kind of decoration with the same symbols.
Post 2
@Monika - I've eaten plenty of those trefoil cookies, but I had no clue the trefoil had any symbolism related to the Girl Scouts either. So you're not alone in that!
In fact, I think the only trefoil I associated with any kind of symbolism (until I read this article) was the Irish shamrock. Most Irish themed bars are decorated with a shamrock, and it's a very popular symbol for St. Patrick's Day. So I've always associated the shamrock with Irish heritage.
Post 1
I was a Girl Scout for years when I was younger, and somehow the symbolism of the trefoil totally escaped my notice. I had no idea the symbol actually stood for anything. I did enjoy the trefoil cookies a lot when cookie-selling season came around though!
