Stop me if you've heard this one: How can you tell when a politician is lying? If you know the well-worn punchline, you probably won't learn anything from George Clooney's "The Ides of March," but you may enjoy it all the same.
Based on the 2008 play "Farragut North" by Beau Willimon (who served as communications director for Howard Dean in the 2004 election), "The Ides of March" goes behind the scenes of a Democratic presidential primary race, as seen through the eyes of idealistic, highly placed campaign staffer Stephen Myers (Ryan Gosling). Pennsylvania Gov. Mike Morris (George Clooney) is looking good heading into the Ohio Democratic Primary -- a little too good, perhaps. As the Republican machinery manuevers to get out the vote for Morris' less electable rival, Morris' team parries and thrusts.
Rival campaign managers Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman, ever the standout) and Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti) clearly have read their Machiavelli; the film's central conflict begins to unfold when Duffy, hoping to poach a keen political mind, makes an overture to Myers.
A true believer in his own candidate, Myers declines, but complications ensue when top-tier reporter Ida Horowicz (Marisa Tomei) gets wind of his secret meeting with the other side. At this inopportune moment, opportunity knocks in the form of flirty intern Molly Stearns (Evan Rachel Wood), who happens to be the daughter of the Democratic National Committee chairman.
And so "The Ides of March" plays out like a game of high-stakes poker, mostly in shades of quiet, intense deliberation. The screenplay by actor-director Clooney, his writing-producing partner Grant Heslov, and Willimon evokes "The West Wing" in its tart, politically savvy dialogue, though "March" decidedly skews to cynicism about the American political process. (In a small but impactful role, Jeffrey Wright embodies conniving careerism.)
Though familiar, "March" tells a timely fable of campaign ethics and the temptation to move the line -- the higher one moves up the political food chain, the deeper the assurance that the ends justify the means.
The education (read disillusionment) of an idealist and misplaced trust within the political sphere mark well-trodden territory, but the details of brinksmanship keep the film percolating, in concert with terrific acting and Clooney's assured direction.
The picture is not without its memorable moments: The seriocomic opener is a gem, with Gosling behind a podium, wearily but expertly doing the advance work for a debate, and a top-notch scene of mutual seduction between Gosling and Wood proves equally pleasurable. Clooney the actor mostly stays on the margins, since the story lies with Morris' advance men.
Lest we forget, "The Ides of March" reminds us of the bloody realities of the political game. Not only backstabbers went after ol' Julius Caesar; he had his frontstabbers too.

Family: Rutaceae
Extraction: Distilled from blossoms. Concrete, absolute. The fragrance is sweet, spicy and distinctive.
Medicinal Action: Neroli treats diarrhea and circulation problems such as hemorrhoids and high blood pressure.
Cosmetic/Skin Use: Used on mature and couperose skin to regenerate the cells.
Emotional Attribute: One of the best aromatic antidepressives, neroli counters emotional shock, mental confusion, nervous strain, anxiety, fear and lack of confidence. It redirects one's energy into a more positive direction, countering both fatigue and insomnia. It is used for those who get upset for no apparent reason. Also an aphrodisiac.
Associated Oils:
Petitgrain (C. aurantium) --Now distilled from the fragrant leaves and stems of the bitter orange, this oil originally came from the small, unripe fruit (thus its name, "little fruit"). The fragrance resembles neroli, but is harsher and sharper. It is less expensive and potent, but often effective enough as an antidepressant. Petitgrain increases perception and awareness and reestablishes trust and self-confidence. Most of the oil comes from Paraguay, where the 19th-century French botanist Benjamin Balansa first distilled the leaves.
Neroli Portugal (C. aurantium var. dulcis) --The flowers of this sweeter orange produce a less fragrant oil, also called neroli petalea, considered inferior to var. amara.

The look on Son the horse's face said, "I'm not sure I like what you're doing," as veterinarian Rebecca Erwin, manually adjusted his spine using a technique called veterinary chiropractic.
Erwin will finish her certification in veterinary chiropractic Feb. 9 after beginning schooling in October.
"I'm a big believer," she said. "I go to a chiropractor myself, to stay healthy and it's worked well for me so I hope it will work well for my patients."
The techniques for veterinary chiropractic are similar to techniques on people except for the use of high velocity and low amplitude thrusts that allow more pressure and are more effective on larger animals. It is also abnormal to hear pops and cracks in animals.
"People often ask me when I adjust a horse how that works because they are so big and I'm so small," Erwin said.
She stands on a big foam block to get the right height when working on a horse's spine.
"That's really the only tool we used," she said. "The rest is mostly upper body strength. We go through many hours of training to teach us how to keep our upper bodies strong, because doing this can take its toll. It's a lot of pressure I put on certain parts of my body when making adjustments on animals."
Most animals are concerned with the process at first, Erwin said.
"It's a different way of going around and touching them so they don't really know what to think," she said. "Usually after their first few adjustments they realize it feels good and makes them feel good and calm down."
Erwin decided to get certified for veterinary chiropractic because she believes in preventive care.
"It's a supplementary and integrative treatment that can help with a number of things the animal could be experiencing," she said.
Veterinary chiropractic can be used for pain management, lameness, to boost immune system, and for better movement.
Chiropractic is mostly used for athletic animals and older animals. Horses, dogs, and cats are Erwin's most common patients at Animal Health Center. Treatments can range from once a month to once a year depending on an animal's activity and age.
She has been treating a blue heeler, Darcy, with chiropractic for several months. Darcy suffered from urinary tract infections. Since undergoing monthly chiropractic treatments, Darcy has not had another infection, Erwin said.
"She has had no issues and is doing very well," she said. "It's not something that is offered around here extensively, but I think that more people are interested in preventive treatments and that's why they like it."
In other patients, especially horses, she has noticed increased movement and flexibility.
Veterinarian Brendan Kraus, of Spur Ridge Vet Hospital, who is also going through the certification process, said he has also seen improvement in his chiropractic patients.
"I've seen improvements in several dogs I have treated with back or neck pain that were unable to jump," he said. "We were able to find the place in the spine that was out of alignment and make things better."
He has also seen improvement in horses, especially barrel racers who now can perform better because of the increased flexibility chiropractic treatments have provided.
"It's about treating the nervous system and locating places in the spine that aren't moving correctly and adjusting them to get proper movement," he said. "Since the spine is connected to all the areas of the body in some way, adjustments help many other areas."
Kraus began training in veterinary chiropractic because of its growing popularity as a credible treatment and to increase his skill set as a veterinarian.
"It's something we have a pretty big market for, especially for horses, but it also has uses for small animals and I like being able to offer that treatment line to my patents," he said.

Lashtada and Soft Whisper Boons
Have Pathfinder or Ponyfinder rules questions, ask here!
2 posts • Page 1 of 1
Lashtada and Soft Whisper Boons
How do these work? All of the other deities have a particular ability for each of their boons, but Lashtada and Soft Whisper only list three spells. How many times per day may they be cast? Is it a spell-like ability, or does it add them to the character's spell list? I assume they are one spell per tier of Deific Obedience or their appropriate class.
Re: Lashtada and Soft Whisper Boons
If not specified, they are spell-likes you can use once a day. Like all other boons, you need deific obedience or equivalent to get them.

Adventuring with Mother Nature and X Series By Daniel Malikyar
Daniel Malikyar
Daniel Malikyar is a Los Angeles based visual artist and Creative Director at 23FIFTN.
Daniel has a passion for documenting his life adventures through visual storytelling. He enjoys shooting all subjects, and favors the challenge of transcending his unique aesthetic across all of his projects rather than focusing on a single specialization.
Through his work, Daniel strives to illicit the emotion of the viewer, while capturing unseen perspectives that are not commonly accessible. Daniel has always shown a relentless desire to go the extra mile in order to capture the perfect photograph.
He has received worldwide media attention for his work; most notably he was the subject of a nationally broadcasted live interview on his photography via FOX 11 News in November of 2015.
Daniel began working with Fujifilm in 2015, and instantly became attached to his X Series gear. The sleek design, consistency, sharpness, and high quality images made the transition to Fujifilm from a traditional DSLR system an easy decision for him.
Daniel hopes to take his photographic journey all across the world, and continue to meet new people, places, and cultures while inspiring others along the way.
From the moment I truly began to pursue photography, I strived to distinguish my work from the millions of images flooding digital media across the world. In doing so, I've always been an advocate of doing whatever it takes to get the shot. Whether that means hiking a treacherous mountainside all night to capture the beauty of first light from an unseen perspective, or hanging from an abandoned bridge 2,000 feet above the ground, capturing timeless moments are what I live for. Through my experiences, I have learned that photography is a key factor in the difference between being alive, and actually living. Abiding by this principle, I set out on road trip from Los Angeles to Seattle accompanied by two talented friends and an arsenal of Fujifilm X Series gear.
We left LA for Oregon on a Tuesday afternoon, and after a brutal sleepless 16-hour road trip, we made it to our first destination – Abiqua Falls. Fortunately our car for the trip was a 4WD Jeep, and allowed us to take the mile long off-road path to the trailhead for the falls. With tattered sneakers accompanied by a light rainfall, I ventured through Oregon's lush landscape for my first time. The abundance of massive trees and greenery were like nothing I had ever seen before. The hike down to the river was pretty intimidating, and required you to scale down a lengthy and steep hillside that was only accessible by a rope tied to an old tree at the top. I went first, and discovered that the last hundred meters of the slippery, muddy terrain had no support rope. After my first step I went down with no control, and slid for about a hundred feet, ruining my clothes and scratching up my hands in the process. Nevertheless, we all made it down eventually and hiked alongside the river to our destination. I had never seen Abiqua Falls, so when we turned the corner that revealed it's jaw-dropping beauty I was in awe.
The picturesque landscape was surreal, and I immediately began planning out the perspectives I wanted to capture in order to do it justice. What I didn't realize was how difficult the blistering backwash from the water crashing to the surface made it to snap a photograph without drenching the camera lens. The remarkable durability and weather-resistance of the X-T1 matched by the speed, precision, and quality of the XF10-24mmF4 R OIS conquered the conditions, and allowed me to capture my experience before the backwash fogged up the lens. From Abiqua, we drove through the countryside to two of Oregon's most iconic waterfalls, Multnomah and Latourell. These two were conveniently located very close to one another, and neither required a difficult hike to get to. Their overwhelming size was a humbling reminder of the power of Mother Nature, and gave me a challenge to capture them true to scale. Running on no sleep in almost 48 hours, we left the falls and enjoyed the hospitality of a friend and Oregon local, who took us to a famous Portland brewery before getting a couple hours of rest to continue on our photographic journey.
Several hours of sleep, a warm shower, and a cup of coffee later we were on the road again… this time headed towards Washington. We got up before sunrise to capture first light from the Rowena Crest. The dynamic range on the X-T1 did Rowena justice by capturing all the tones and colors of the current season. After a brief session at Rowena, we drove straight to Olympic National Park. We encountered wildlife along the way, including a bear and bison. It was my first time seeing such large animals up close, and thanks to compact size of the X-T1 I was able to take it out of my pocket in time to capture the moment. Olympic National Park had otherworldly nature-filled roads whose cinematic foregrounds looked like something out of Planet of the Apes. With the help of the XF16mmF1.4 R WR lens, I was able to capture the detail of the nature before me.
After exploring through Olympic, we returned to the hospitality of a friend's home in Seattle, anxious for the adventures that were to come the next day. After a few more hours of sleep we set off to catch the infamous abandoned railroad known as Vance Creek Bridge for sunrise. Vance Creek is very dangerous if you're not careful, and trespassers of the area are given a hefty fine if caught by authorities. This didn't stop us; we were determined to get to the bridge and get our shots as quickly as possible. Running on minimal sleep, the excitement of visiting Vance eliminated any sense of fatigue and gave us motivation to get through the hike to find one of the most amazing abandoned locations I had ever seen. I cautiously maneuvered all the way across the bridge, and after documenting every angle I could, I hung my body off the edge of the bridge to capture the vertigo-induced lookdown perspective that is seen throughout most of my travels.
This image gives me a sense of conquering that location, and I strategically waited until I was done shooting to make my mark with the widest lens of my kit, the XF10-24mm. After leaving Vance Creek without any issues, we headed back to Seattle to take on the skies of the city in an R44 helicopter with Classic Helicopters. While I've had helicopter shoots across several cities in many different conditions, it was my first time shooting in harsh light, and in an unfamiliar city. Nevertheless the X-T1 and XF10-24mm combo proved their worth, showcasing the very impressive speed and accuracy of the auto-focus feature. About an hour after the flight concluded, the sun had set, signifying the end to an amazing few days spent with friends shooting in new environments with an awesome camera system. We returned to our friend's house to catch some sleep before we set off on a 20 hour road trip back to Los Angeles.
In addition to my Pacific Northwest road trip, I also had the pleasure of shooting with Fujifilm X Series gear this past December in the winter wonderland that is Alberta, Canada. The camera withstood unbearably low temperatures, snow, and everything in between. I even hung my body out of the car at 100kmh in -20 degree weather to capture a symmetrical road shot during sunset on the way home from our final day, which consisted of a trip to Yoho National Park to capture a direct vantage point of an endless blue river. Although my winter hat flew of my head and my face turned bright red from the extreme temperature and heavy wind, the camera gear had no issues withstanding the harsh conditions and delivering excellent quality images.
In conclusion, the most valuable aspect of traveling for me has always been capturing my experiences. In doing so, I'm able to make my memories timeless and share them with the world. With the help of Fujifilm's cutting edge X-T1 system and expansive Fujinon XF lens lineup, I was able to document my recent travels throughout Alberta, Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The durability of this mirrorless camera is incredible. The compact size and endless internal capabilities of the X-T1 also set it apart from any camera I've used before. One of my favorite design aspects is the moveable LCD; this made it much easier to shoot reflections and difficult perspectives that cannot be seen through a viewfinder. The XF lenses are also very impressive. Their power and design compliment the body by providing lightning-fast images of excellent quality, color and sharpness. The auto-focus feature is also remarkably consistent and accurate across all subjects, and allowed me to make the most of every rare photo opportunity Mother Nature presented along these two trips. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with Fujifilm's X Series gear, and I highly recommend it to all photographers looking to take their work to the next level with a conveniently sized, sleekly designed system.

UD group visits New Zealand to learn about differences in agriculture
A study abroad program in New Zealand during Winter Session brought together undergraduate learning and Cooperative Extension experience, two major aspects emphasized by the University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. This unique study abroad program blended classroom, experiential and extension education to deliver a unique discovery learning experience focused on New Zealand agriculture. The five-week trip was led by Lesa Griffiths, professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences, and Susan Garey, animal science extension agent, who explained that the students divided their time between classroom learning and field experience as they traveled to farms and dairies to learn about the differences in farming and agriculture practices between the United States and New Zealand. Garey said that she liked how the trip tied together the extension and undergraduate aspects of education. "We have the formal lecture in the classroom but getting out to the farm and looking at the blades of grass and seeing how pastures yields are measured and how you determine where to move the cows next in the grazing system, I just think really drives the point home to students." The students learned so much about New Zealand dairy and agriculture that two who went on the trip were able to present at Middletown High School at the annual meeting of the Delaware Holstein Association. The students talked about New Zealand agriculture and more specifically, about the dairy industry, such as typical farm size, how milk is marketed and the main products of the industry. Pasture growth Griffiths explained that the UD students learned a lot about pasture growth on their trip, both inside and outside of the classroom. Because the animals consume the grass available to them from pasture on farms in New Zealand, rather than being fed grain or harvested feeds, as is the case in America, understanding pasture growth is vital for that nation's farmers. The students stayed at Lincoln University in New Zealand, where they visited a 600-cow demonstration farm built to serve as a model for dairy farmers in the region. Griffiths said the demonstration farm "serves more of an extension role — a place to try new pasture species, closely monitor pasture growth and animal performance, determine environmental impacts and share information with dairy farmers." Students learned from the farm manager about the concept of a pasture feed wedge, a graph of the current pasture status by ranking each paddock's average pasture cover, she said. "While the graph made it easy to see how much grass is out there for cows to consume, it was not so easy for students to visualize how the farmer gets his/her data on pasture grass production," said Griffiths. To help farmers and students understand this, the farm staff would walk the pastures every Tuesday. "We showed up at the dairy and walked and measured weekly growth in each of the 21 paddocks. We stopped along the way and learned to evaluate the grass itself," said Griffiths. Jenna Wilson, a sophomore majoring in pre-veterinary medicine and animal biosciences, said it was clear that the farmers cared dearly about their grass. "They really want the grass to produce well so that the animals produce well. They talked about when they cut it and when they grow it, where they grow it, and how they divide up the pasture." Garey added that the need for animals to feed themselves through pasture originated out of necessity because the farmers "don't have the soil types to grow as much grain as we do here." Dairy differences One of the biggest differences the group learned about was in the management of dairy farms. "New Zealand exports a lot of milk but one of the big cultural differences is New Zealanders are not large consumers of fluid milk," said Garey, who explained that a majority of that nation's dairy production is exported in milk powders that are headed to Asia, as well as in baby formula and in products such as cheese and butter. Garey added that while dairies in America tend to milk their cows 305 out of 365 days of the year, the New Zealand dairies milk their cows around 223 days a year. Wilson explained that a big difference between the two countries is that New Zealand farms tend to be more hands off and have fewer buildings for the animals. "They don't really interact as much with the animals as we do — except for dairying, obviously, because they have to bring them in twice a day. But a lot of the time, they just put the animals out in the pasture and leave them there until they need to shear them or breed them," said Wilson. Deer farms Another difference between the two nations is that in New Zealand there are deer farms. "At the deer farm that we went to, the farmer was raising them for the velvet. Antlers in the velveting stage get shipped to Asia for medicinal purposes. When they get older they use the deer for meat," said Wilson, who added that these farms are easy to spot because they have very high fences to prevent the animals from jumping out. Garey added that the deer on those farms are red deer, which differ from the white tailed deer found in Delaware. Garey said the deer farms are what she calls a sign of "Kiwi ingenuity," explaining that because deer — along with other animals — were brought to New Zealand from England, they had no known natural predators and their population exploded. Some New Zealanders decided to trap the animals and farm them in order to harvest either their velvet or their meat, usually focusing on one or the other. "They do well in the harsher country so it's a way to use the variability of land," said Garey. "The south island of New Zealand is very diverse from the flat plains to high country and hill country. The high country environment is much harsher and that would not be good land, necessarily, for milking dairy cattle, but deer can do well in those environments." Because of the variability of the land, the farms also have multiple uses, sometimes housing sheep, deer and cattle, instead of focusing on one species.

It's neat to come across streets that were named in honor of my families' ancestors. It's adds to their stories and certainly indicates that they were well thought of in their communities! He are some pictures of the street signs I've found.
The first one is located in Plymouth, MA. Bradford Street is named after one of my most famous ancestors, Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony. He is my ninth great grandfather.
My wife's maiden name is Harvey. Harvey Road, in Jackson Co., MI, is named after her great grandfather Herbert Harvey, who farmed there.
Another ancestral line of my wife's is Notten. Her third great grandfather, Ehlert Notten, came to America from England and farmed in Waterloo Twp., Jackson Co., MI.
My 4th great grandfather, Isaac Ormsbee, settled in north of Greenfield, near Porter Corners, Saratoga Co., NY in 1796. The old family cemetery is along Ormsbee Rd.
Musbach Rd. in Washtenaw County, MI, is name after my wife's Musbach family, who farmed nearby.
Hienrich Heinke, my 2nd great grandfather settled and farmed in Royalton Twp., Waupaca Co., WI.
My wife's 2nd great grandfather, Damien Heim, came from Germany and settled in Sylvan Twp., Washtenaw Co., MI
This last one wasn't exactly named after one of my family members (at least we haven't proven it yet). Thibeau Voiland came to America from Cravanche, Belfort, France and settle in Erin Twp. (Roseville), Macomb Co., MI.
I also descend from Voilands who came from an area very close to Cravanche, but we haven't been able to connect the two families! Maybe the addition of the sign here with help to prove or disprove the connection.

Sustainability: The Print Buyer's Perspective
Sophizio: Five steps a print shop can take toward earning a sustainability-driven partnership.
"Many times, big brands don't recognize the opportunities for their sustainability goals to be achieved through their printing partners," says Martine Padilla, president of Sophizio (sophizio.com), the Lawrence, Kansas-based consultancy that educates Fortune 500 companies on smart print procurement.
"They simply don't realize what they don't know about printing. When companies and organizations don't understand print, they're not able to identify or implement relevant or successful sustainability initiatives."
At the same time, says Padilla, print providers often don't recognize the tremendous opportunity toward becoming a preferred print partner of big brands through their own sustainability efforts.
"Big brands and print shops need each other to advance best practices when it comes to global sustainability," she maintains.
Padilla provides the following five steps that a print shop can take toward earning a sustainability-driven partnership:
1. Know who you are and embrace it
• Clearly define and communicate who you are by sharing your core business expertise and mission statement.
• State how you are a specific "niche market print provider," not just a "solution provider." Although the latter title is used by some print shops to ensure they're viewed as more than companies simply putting ink on paper, the "solutions" moniker also has a downside: It does not enable clients to quickly identify exactly what you can do for them.
2. Define your sustainability positioning
• Set and share objectives and goals; emotional, environmental, and fiscal goals are all important. Keep the four Ps in mind: people, planet, profits – and my favorite, prosperity.
• Own certifications endorsed by non-profit organizations (or non-governmental entities) and industry communities, which bring third-party verification and credibility to your efforts.
3. Identify the right clients for you
• Know your clients' vision, mission, corporate-sustainability initiatives, and priorities. Clients are seeking supply-chain partners whose ideals align with their own; you should do the same.
• Grow sustainability best practices together with your client.
• Have more fun by earning clients with products for which you are already a brand advocate or category enthusiast.
4. Build a transparent relationship
• Increase discussions and reduce demands: Allow clients to understand your costs and margins in order to build a strategic partnership.
• Share more. In return, your client will likewise share more about what risks concern them and exactly what they are seeking in a sustainable relationship.
• Tell your sustainability story – from its inception, inspiration, and intangible results to the documented metrics, tangible ROI, and plans for continuous improvement.
• Live what you say you do 24/7; offer and be prepared for onsite audits.
5. Add unexpected value
• Educate, educate, and educate again – on how print projects are unique and how they are not widgets.
• Do not simply take orders; instead, perform what Sophizio refers to as Specification Rationalization on each and every project, including sustainability-driven improvements. By this we mean right-sizing a piece: maximum press sheet of right weight to fit on the right press and the right finishing equipment, enabling the most efficient production, finishing, mailing, and logistics plan – all toward reducing waste and costs.
• Position yourself as your client's personal subject-matter expert of the printing industry and print-related sustainability.
• Understand your buyers' corporate individual objectives and help them become a hero within their own organization.
• Lead.
Part of the Callahan Creek marketing agency, Sophizio helps its clients "reduce costs through strategic supply-chain partnerships while championing sustainability initiatives." Its clients have included Fortune 500 companies such as Wal-Mart, Toyota Motor Sales USA, and others.

RE: Local Groups Hold Vigil for Gun Violence Victims

Local Groups Hold Vigil for Gun Violence Victims
PALATINE, IL.- More than 100 residents of the west and northwest suburbs held a vigil to commemorate the six-month anniversary of the Sandy Hook shootings last Friday, June 14th at the Palatine Metra station. Gun violence prevention groups from the greater Chicagoland area joined with Northwest Suburbs Organizing for Action (NWSOFA) to honor those victims and 4,800 other Americans murdered since the Newtown massacre, while Congress has failed to enact commonsense measures to reduce gun violence that are supported by 90% of the American people. Representative Peter Roskam, who will be a key player in deciding whether Congress will act on gun violence prevention, was invited but did not attend. America needs common sense gun reform now, and OFA with partnering organizations will stand to show Rep. Roskam how his constituents feel about his vote on upcoming gun legislation HR 1565. "We hope that Representative Roskam will boldly lead the charge for background checks" said Kathleen Meier, one of the organizers of the vigil.
Speakers addressed the crowd to discuss the importance of expanded background checks and limiting magazine clips for automatic weapons. Rev. Marylou Belcher of the DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church spoke about the effects of gun violence on victims' families. Although increased background checks will not solve the problem of gun violence, she said, "it is important to take this step." The group heard from the father of a gun violence victim. Stephen Young of People for a Safer Society said," I buried my son 17 years ago today. I will not rest until this problem is brought under control." Bill Davis of Arlington Heights read the names of the Sandy Hook victims, and the group responded "We will not forget" after each name was read. Christine Fenno of Moms Demand Action read the "Sandy Hook Promise," a pledge to remember and honor the victims of gun violence.
Joan Brody of Schaumburg said, "90% of Americans support background checks, but 90% of Republican senators voted against them." Another participant, Judy Pitts of Wheaton, said that that US should learn from the experience of other countries which have seen dramatically lower rates of gun violence after enacting reasonable regulation of gun ownership and use.
Participating groups included Northwest Suburbs Organizing for Action (NWSOFA), Lake/McHenry County OFA, Newtown Action Alliance, People for a Safer Society, Citizens for Safer Communities, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Women's Resource Center Palatine Township Democrats, Northwest Suburban Women Democrats, and Common Sense Reform, and others.
About Organizing For Action - Organizing for Action (OFA) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to advancing the policies that the American people voted for in 2012. In just three months more than 1.4 million volunteers have taken action through Organizing for Action. As a grassroots funded social advocacy group OFA is committed to tipping the scales of power back to the American people instead of special interests in Washington. OFA is working to advance policies like job creation, strengthening the middle class, gun violence prevention, comprehensive immigration reform and measures combating climate change a majority of the American people support.

Renegade lawman in the American West, a fictional character of American radio and television programs, books, films, and comics.
In all media the Lone Ranger fictions are similar. John Reid was born in 1850 and was the sole survivor of a group of Texas Rangers who were ambushed by outlaws who killed five rangers, including his older brother, Daniel. The Indian Tonto found him and nursed him to health. Reid then donned a black mask made from his dead brother's vest, mounted his stallion, Silver, and roamed the West as the Lone Ranger to aid those in need, to fight evil, and to establish justice.
The character was created in the Lone Ranger radio program by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker. First aired on radio station WXYZ in Detroit, Mich., on Jan. 30, 1933, the radio program was carried by more than 400 American stations by the end of the decade. It was radio that made the Lone Ranger's theme song, Gioacchino Rossini's "William Tell Overture," a familiar tune in every child's repertoire, and it was radio that made "Hi-yo Silver, Away!" a familiar playground exclamation.
The Lone Ranger's first movie serial appeared in 1938. In 1949 the radio show moved to television, and the sounds were linked to images and actors who became equally familiar. Clayton Moore played the Lone Ranger for all but a few episodes, and Jay Silverheels became the embodied Tonto. The television show was syndicated for four years, then picked up by the Columbia Broadcasting System, on which it ran until 1958. The show continued to run in syndication, and in 1980 an entirely new movie, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, appeared.
