Today, I wanted to follow up with the images of the list of priests of the parish of Biechow (parafii Biechów). Please read yesterday's post for the web link (URL) to image of the digital book I used.
Stanczyk cobbled together the "digital" pages 27-29 into a single GIF image, so you my faithful reader could examine for yourself.
Yesterday we were looking at a Latin paragraph image of a birth/baptism from 1674. The priest was indeed Jozef Walcerz as I read from the priest's own handwriting (to verify that I could read the handwriting accurately).
Father (Ks.) Michal Krolikowski's service from 1852-1900 put him on many of the images of Stanczyk's family. Those were mostly from the years of Russian-Poland occupation (and language mandate/ukase), so I have his signature upon Russian/Cyrillic church records. Because the records for Biechow are extensive, I am able to confirm many of the priests on this list, so this book confirms my church records and the church records confirm this book's scholarly research.
So we have Latin records, then Polish records, then Russian records (1868-1918) and finally Polish again.
I added this cross-research because I was trying to add a context for my ancestor's lives to my family history to pass on to my ancestors. It was also a good exercise in verifying my ability to read the old style handwriting (whatever langauage) you see in church records.
Below I would like to share Father Michal Krolikowski's signature upon the happy day and event of my great-grandfather Tomasz Leszczynski 's marriage to his second wife and my great-grandmother, Aniela Major (pronounce My-Yore). It seems I have a family history of short Polish names that do not look Polish because they are short and vowel filled. This signature was upon an allegata describing the marriage and happily providing my great-grandmother's birth information. No need to rub your eyes, the signature and seal are in Russian (a Cyrillic "alphabet").
For those who do not read Russian …
Biechow October 5/17 th day 1885 th year
Father Michal Krolikowski
?-title (NastoJatel — not in my Russian-English dictionary, probably ADMINISTRATOR) of Biechow
[NOTE: there are two day numbers (double-dating) because Russia was still using the Julian calendar while Poland had long since switched to the modern Gregorian calendar that we use today. Notice that in 1885 the difference was 12 days. Knowledge of this may help you decipher the date when you can only read one date. Starting sometime in 1900 the difference would grow to 13 days. Russia did not switch from the Old Style dates to the Gregorian calendar until january 31st, 1918 (thus eliminating the need for double-dating).]

Using CBD Pills To Treat Anxiety
A wide variety of components derived from cannabis have become legalized in many of the states here in America over the past few years. For many long years there has been a very strong stance against any level of the use of marijuana in the US which it is still a shock to many people how increasingly receptive the country is becoming too the different forms of marijuana use. recreational and medicinal acceptancehas become a trend that is taking hold like a run away train traveling across the country and creating revenues at an astounding rate as more and more patients register.
These social and political changes have opened the door to the highly sought after CBD Pills that contain huge medicinal benefits. Among the many wonderful CBD qualities for treating various ailments, anxiety is one of the conditions that can be treated through the use of these pills. It is a very interesting fact that there are a large number of patients that have sought their cards for medical marijuana use specifically for the purpose of treating their anxiety issues.
Many patients lives have been made so much better on a daily basis by having medical marijuana available on a daily basis. It is also an interesting thing to know that many people taking CBD pills are unaware that their anxiety is being treated in the process. There are people who use the wonderful product because it delivers feelings of relaxation and calmness, all without asking any questions or receiving a diagnosis from professional medical specialists.
Being free of the headaches and harassment from authorities has provided great relief by making it possible for people who suffer with anxiety and other medical conditions to take advantage of the help that they really need. Often, drinking alcohol was used as a remedy for feeling better but many times lead to a drunken state instead of relieving the actual ailments that someone would be experiencing. CBD pills do not have such a devastating consequences as drinking too much alcohol while trying to relieve disorders, especially the treatment of anxiety.
There are important differences that must be understood when comparing these pills with using a bong or joint to smoke the substance. The component in question is isolated for specific medical purposes and separately sold to meet those purposes. CBD is in no way the same as THC which is the active substance in cannabis that people are able to get high on. When the primary goal is treating anxiety, the risks of being high are eliminated through this wonderful alternative and to make it possible for a person to take care of the things that are important in their daily lives.
There is a large amount of documentation stating the many benefits CBD pills have for anxiety sufferers. A number of these patients suffer from other disorders such as PTSD at the same time that they are struggling with being anxious. The physical and mental feeling of being disoriented or "tweaking"is no issue with the use of pills or oils containing CBD because life goes on as normal in both professional and social settings.
Positive reports have poured in from patients that prefer using CBD as an alternative non pharmaceutical treatment for their anxiety condition. States that now allow medical use of legalized weed have done their studies regarding the use of this substance. The most advanced area of the country concerning this research is California because that state has had a great deal of more experience than the rest of the country.
Legalization has had a tremendous effect on the development of specific products geared toward many targeting different symptoms more directly and in a shorter amount of time. The mental and emotional benefits for people speaks volumes toward the ongoing acceptance across the countryfor curing post traumatic stress disorder, nauseous and anorexic conditions, and even agoraphobia.
CBD products are definitely the best choice for anyone seeking relief from any of the conditions mentioned without having to deal with the side effects of alcohol and other risks associated with dangerous pharmaceuticals and the drugs. Living a normal life without the misery of suffering from these ailments is very possible through the use of CBD oil or pills, including relief from anxiety. The benefits extend beyond just of the patient because others around them also recognize the difference.
If it is legal in your area, it would be a good idea to check into the use of CBD pills and what they can do for you and or the ones you love.

Benefits Of CBD Capsules
Cannabis is very good for alleviating the pain and for improving the quality of life of terminally ill patients. The only problem is that smoking the leaves or the flowers may have negative consequences for the lungs. Some people have a sensitive respiratory system, thus not being able to enjoy the benefits of smoking cannabis. These people have to take CBD Capsules instead of smoking.
The main benefit of pills is their safety. These Capsules dissolve only in the stomach, thus leaving the respiratory system unaffected. Since there so smoke, there's no risk of lung or throat cancer. This is very important, as some patients are already at risk of developing such conditions, so they can't smoke a joint to make their pain fade away.
The fixed dosage is another benefit of CBD Capsules. When you swallow pills, you always know exactly what amount of the active substance you ingest. Of course, this statement is valid only in case of standardized products. This is why it is very important to choose your brands and your suppliers very carefully. Pills made with standardized extracts are always the same. You're going to know at any given time how much CBD or THC you get. This is the best method to avoid overdoses. Besides, by controlling the amount of CBD, you can always enjoy a predictable and steady result. Each time you take your Capsules, your body is going to react the same way, so you'll know exactly when the relief sensation is going to appear.
The other advantage of pills is that they are odorless. There are situations in which you can't smoke cannabis in your home, as the smell would be inacceptable. In addition, if you need your CBD dose while visiting friends or traveling, you can imagine smoking would be impossible. Pills are extremely convenient from this point of view, as they can be easily swallowed without anyone else realizing what you do. You can have the peace of mind that you'll always be able to get your needed CBD fix, wherever you may be. Besides, some people hate the smell of smoked cannabis, so they would rather find an odorless alternative to get their medical CBD.
Last but not least, CBD Capsules don't contain THC, which is present in marijuana leaves and flowers. When smoking cannabis, you inhale both CBD and THC, and this may cause various side effects that aren't always desirable. Pills contain only CBD, the non-psychoactive cannabinoid which is going to bring you the expected relief without hallucinations or other nasty side effects. Beware though, some of these pills may contain quite enough THC to cause a high. This is why you should always proceed with great caution when taking them. As a matter of fact, it's a very good idea to discuss with your doctor about your intention of taking CBD Capsules. This is how you can rest assured you'll have some quick medical help, should you experience adverse reactions or side effects that might endanger your life. Although you may be able to find these pills on the market, you shouldn't medicate yourself unless your physician gives you approval. Cannabis products are usually safe, but they may cause unpredictable reactions in some people. You may experience paranoia, confusion, sleepiness, drowsiness, lack of energy, sadness and even depression. As these symptoms can be quite severe, you shouldn't underestimate their effects. This is why you should inform your doctor about your intention of trying cannabis to alleviate your pain issues.
CBD is already a well-established remedy that can be used for medical purposes. Available in many forms, it seems to be fairly easy to find. However, if you intend to try it, you should consider the benefits of CBD sodftgels and use this form rather than smoking or vaporizing. Improving your quality of life is a desirable thing to do, but it shouldn't be achieved on the expense of your overall health and well-being. You need to protect your lungs and your whole respiratory system. This is why you should choose pills over smoking. Besides, thanks to the exact dosage and to their other benefits, pills are definitely the best CBD form available today.

Stage Details
Title: Estate Tax Law Amendments and Reinstatement of PAYGO
Vote Smart's Synopsis:
Vote to pass a bill that permanently sets the estate tax exclusion amount (the amount of an estate that is exempt from the estate tax) at the 2009 level of $3.5 million, permanently sets the maximum estate and gift tax rates at the 2009 level of 45 percent, and reinstates the statutory Pay-As-You-Go budget rule.
- Reinstates the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) budget rule, a rule that applies to bills or joint resolutions that affect direct spending or revenue relative to the baseline and that requires such bills to be budget-neutral (Secs. 102 & 103).
- Requires PAYGO legislation to make reference to the bill's estimated budgetary effects, as shall be provided by the Congressional Budget Office, "if timely submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the chairs of the Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate" before it is voted on (Sec. 104).
- Requires the Office of Management and Budget to maintain and make public on every piece of PAYGO legislation two sets of scorecards, which shall measure the budgetary effects of such legislation over 5 years and over 10 years (Sec. 104).
- Requires the Office of Management and Budget at the end of every Congressional session to publish and make public a PAYGO report, which shall include the following (Sec. 105):
- Current PAYGO scorecards on all PAYGO legislation;
- Any current policy adjustments;
- Information about any emergency legislation;
- Sequestration orders that show how direct spending will be adjusted to offset any costs shown on PAYGO scorecards; and
- Other data that would "enhance public understanding" of the above items.
- Requires the Office of Management and Budget to calculate the uniform percentage of funds that are to be seized in order to balance spending, and specifies that any uniform percentage exceeding 4 percent shall result in Medicare spending reductions of 4 percent, as well as spending reductions in other nonexempt direct spending programs (Sec. 106).
- Resolves that unique PAYGO scoring rules will apply to one of the four budget areas (Sec. 107):
- Legislation that amends or supersedes Medicare physician fee schedules;
- Legislation that amends portions of the United States Tax Code governing estate and gift taxes;
- Legislation that affects the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT); and
- Legislation affecting certain provisions of the Economic Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, as well as certain provisions of later statutes amending the aforementioned Acts.
- Lists several other federal programs and activities that would be exempt from payment reductions, including Social Security Benefits and Tier I Railroad Retirement Benefits, Veterans Programs, and Refundable Income Tax Credits (Sec. 111).

HAving Ray Emery in net is pretty much all that needs to be said to justify that comment.
At that point they were being touted as "unbeatable" and a lock to win the cup. Being on the west coast and having to watch a lot more western conf games than most posters on here, it was more or less a statement that they were far from that.
Interestingly after my post they went on to lose 3 of the next 5, with the two wins coming against an already mailed in Calgary and Edmonton teams.
They didn't face Anaheim in the playoffs (btw they swept the Hawks during the season).
They didn't face Vancouver (their fiercest rival - 2 losses against them and one shootout OT win).
They faced Minnesota instead of Columbus (who would have given them a better series - as 4 of 5 games this season vs the jackets were one goal games, SO or OT)... and Bobrovsky was playing out of his mind.
They were lucky to squeak by Detroit in a game 7 OT thanks to typical NHL officiating... yes you can blame that series on the officials.
and they faced a highly over-rated "reigning" champion LA Queens - who followed up the short summer off in typical "Flyer" fashion.
They were they 17 seconds away from going to (and probably losing) a game 7 against a bunch of Boston pilons...
They're record will be inflated next year too. Not because they are unbeatable, but because they'll have the luxury of being in the weakest division in hockey, but you never know as they will have to face eastern conference teams. So i'm curious to see how that goes.
Congrats Chicago. Crow tastes really good.
But you enjoyed plenty of fortuitous bounce, more than most championship teams get.

Go ahead and criticize...cause yeah they're such the new dynasty.. LOL
Better than the Isles, Oilers, Pens of dynasties past... LOL... yep WAAAAAAYYYY better.

A Frisco, Texas, man now faces trial following an arrest last October for holding up a sign warning drivers they were about to enter a speed trap, KHOU.com reports.
Police say they spotted Ron Martin standing on the center median of a six-lane roadway, holding a sign that read "Police ahead," according to MyFoxDFW.com.
In the arrest report, police officer Thomas Mrozinski wrote that he became wise to Martin's ruse when he saw drivers "waving at us." This wasn't the first time Martin had held up a sign to warn drivers about the fuzz's presence.
Martin, who made his first court appearance on Wednesday, told WFAA he was trying to do the same thing as the police by "reminding people that there is a limit here" and that people should slow down.
So what exactly was he arrested for? The Dallas Observer reports that police cited him for holding a sign on public property.
Martin is a Frisco homeowner with a family. He paints signs for a living. He says he just wants to help make the roads safer, and he argues that his homemade signs are more effective at doing that than speed traps.
Martin has reported the police for what he sees as unsafe practices, including hiding behind signs and not using their lights. "I just feel like it was a little bit unsafe, not only for citizens, but for police officers having to do their job," he told MyFoxDFW.com.
The Dallas Observer reports that "most states, Texas included, don't have laws that specifically prohibit people from giving other motorists the heads-up that a cop with a radar gun is hiding behind the bushes."
Putting coins in other people's parking meters? That's another story.

My Great-Grandfather left Oklahoma and settled in Lindale, Texas. His name was Issac Worthington, I believe. He was a peace officer of some kind in Oklahoma. Peace was in short supply those days in Oklahoma. He ended up killing a member of some gang. He knew if he stayed, the rest would kill him. That is when he moved to Texas. His Dad had moved to Oklahoma, from Tennessee. I am not sure, but I have heard that he was in the "Oklahoma land run". His brother moved to California. When my Grandfather, William Shelby Worthington was getting on in years, a man & his wife drove up to their house, and told him that he was his cousin from California. He did not even know that his Dad had any siblings. Because of this, I have met a few of that branch of the family.

RIDGECREST, Calif. -- Witnesses: Man was upset earlier, returned with a weapon
A 75-year-old man was shot to death by a California Highway Patrol officer after an incident at Ridgecrest Medical Plaza on Monday morning. The man, who has not been immediately identified, had allegedly entered the facility earlier in the day in a foul mood and was asked to leave by Ridgecrest Regional Hospital staff at the satellite laboratory. He returned a short time later with a weapon, according to eyewitness Nannette Huerta, office manager for Dr. Pedro Farinha. Farinha shares the office where the shooting took place. According to Ridgecrest Police Chief Mike Avery, the police department received several 9-1-1 calls reporting shots being fired at the medical facility. "Upon the arrival of the (Ridgecrest) Police Department units, as well as the California Highway Patrol, China Lake Police Department and the Kern County Sheriffs Department, we immediately started to evacuate the area outside the building and set a perimeter," he said. Avery said the departments established an active-shooter team and searched the building. Kern County Fire Engines 74 and 77 were also on hand, as well as Liberty Ambulance. Hospital security, Police and Community Together volunteers and Explorer units aided in securing the area. Moments after the active-shooter team entered the medical complex, they confronted the suspect with a loaded 12-gauge shotgun. They ordered him to drop the weapon several times, at which time he lowered the shotgun toward the team, Avery said. One shot was fired by a CHP officer, killing the suspect. It was later confirmed that CHP Officer Brad deGeus fired the fatal shot. Avery said he is not sure how many shots the suspect fired, but witnesses said they heard three or four shots fired in the suite of offices housing the lab and Farinhas offices. The building also houses Dr. Bobby Millers office and Southern Sierra Medical Clinic. "I heard the shots, but did not see the gunman," said Farinha, whose staff was shaken by the event. The doctor said he was seeing patients in the back of the office at the time. Dr. Miller was in the new outpatient clinic at the time, but his staff was also visibly shaken over the shooting. According to a gentleman who was waiting in the office to get blood drawn, the suspect entered the lab and ordered everyone to get out. One Ridgecrest Regional Hospital employee, Sherry McInnerney, was injured when the suspect hit her in the head and on the forearm with the butt of his weapon. A second employee, who wished to be identified only as Amanda, risked bodily harm to wrestle the suspect to the floor at one point. It is not known at this time how he regained control of his weapon to face off with police officers. Avery said the medical complex could be reopened Tuesday morning, depending on the progress of the investigation and the staff of the doctors' offices. "We have requested that the entire clinic shut down for the rest of the day so we can do a complete investigation and crime-scene analysis," he said. A crime-scene unit from the Kern County District Attorneys Office and the Kern Coroners Office were responding. Avery said he was in contact with Naval Air Weapons Station Commanding Officer Capt. Mick Gleason. "Because of the magnitude of the calls that we were responding to, they immediately set up their emergency operating center, shut the front gate and opened the Richmond Road gate to divert traffic from this area to the back gate," Avery said. Officers from the China Lake Police Department also responded to help with perimeter control. The incident came at an ironic time. Avery said officers completed an updated active-shooter training at Cerro Coso Community College over the weekend. The training was certainly fresh in everyones mind, Avery said. Hospital Chief Executive Officer David Mechtenberg said three hospital employees were at the medical plaza, and all are safe. The other employees are safe. Everybody is accounted for, he said. Mechtenberg planned to meet with his employees Monday afternoon. The Daily Independent (Ridgecrest, Calif.) Staff Reporters John V. Ciani and Ruth Justis and Managing Editor Nathan Ahle contributed to this report.

If any of the above situations applies to you and your West Covina company, it is time to contact TAP Solutions to update and/or redesign your website.
What are some of the possible cures for an ailing or outdated website?
TAP Solutions will look at the use of the keywords that describe your business and products that appear in your website. Sometimes those words are not used often enough. If your keywords aren't used in your website, or used frequently enough, you won't do well with search engines.
TAP Solutions can help you update your on-line catalogue and product line. We can also update your home page, FAQs, staff pages, and contacts. Perhaps you've expanded the geographic areas that your company serves. We can add those pages so customers in outlying areas find you just as quickly and easily as those close to your location do.
Smart phones are used today for much more than making phone calls and sending text messages. Many of your potential customers will see you on their cell phones before they look at you on their office or home computers. Your website needs to be responsive to the viewer's device so that you look just as good on their cell phone as you do on their desktop. What's more you'll score higher on search engine if your website is smart phone and tablet friendly. TAP Solutions can convert your old standard website to a responsive website that adjusts automatically.
If your customers are complaining they can't find information easily on your website, TAP Solutions can help you reorganize it with new tabs, pull down menus, graphics or other improvements. We know that if a website viewer can't find what they want in one or two clicks, they will move on. TAP Solutions will work to help clean up your website and make it more intuitive and user friendly.
TAP Solutions is constantly on the lookout for new trends in website design as well as new technology. Does your website feel like it is stuck at the turn of the century? Time for a website face lift. You don't wear the same clothes you did in the 1990s, neither should your company look the same on the internet.
It shouldn't be difficult to update your website once it has been updated for today's technology. TAP Solutions can advise you about content management options.
Great reviews on Yelp, Google and elsewhere on the net are must haves to bring you to the forefront today. TAP Solutions can help you add your positive reviews and endorsements to your website. We can also provide guidance in how to ask your customers to post reviews on Yelp. On-line reviews act like the old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Your West Covina company's reputation needs to shine on-line.
A fresh, healthy website is just as necessary as a breath of fresh air. TAP Solutions is here to help you and your West Covina company breath deep and rise to the top of the search pages. If you even so much as think you might need to update your website, you probably do. Just ask TAP Solutions to review your site and we'll provide you with a professional opinion and options for a reasonable price.
The benefits of a redesign can transform your good business into a great business. Ask TAP Solutions how we can help!

Bus passenger describes terror before Calif. crash
The bus full of tired tourists returning to Tijuana, Mexico, was slowly winding down a mountain road from the ski resort town of Big Bear when it suddenly picked up speed. The driver shouted to call 911 - the brakes had failed.
As passengers frantically tried to get a cellphone signal, a group of teenage girls shrieked and prayed aloud as others cried and shielded their heads as they careened downhill.
The bus rear-ended a Saturn sedan, swerved, flipped and slid on its side. A Ford pickup in the oncoming lane plowed into it, righting the bus and tossing passengers out shattered windows before it came to a halt.
"Everything happened so fast. When the bus spun everything flew, even the people," said Gerardo Barrientos, who was next to his girlfriend one minute and then scrambling out of the wreckage the next trying to find her and a friend in the highway. Both were injured but alive.
Seven people were killed and about three dozen injured Sunday night in the accident 80 miles east of Los Angeles. The dead included 13-year-old Victor Cabrera-Garcia; Elvira Garcia Jimenez, 40; and Guadalupe Olivas, 61, all of San Diego; along with Aleida Adriana Arce Hernandez, 38, and Rubicelia Escobedo Flores, 34, and Mario Garcia Santoyo 32, all of Tijuana, said San Bernardino County coroner's supervisor Tony Campisi.
One woman remained unidentified.
On Monday, while families of the tourists descended on area hospitals looking for loved ones, investigators searched for evidence and scrutinized the bus company's safety history.
Government records showed the bus, operated by Scapadas Magicas LLC of National City, Calif., recorded 22 safety violations in inspections in the year ending last October - including brake, windshield and tire problems. Though the company retained an overall "satisfactory" rating from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration it had been targeted for a higher rate of inspections linked to bus maintenance, the agency said.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to the scene to help in the investigation, which will determine if mechanical failure or driver error was to blame. The driver, Norberto B. Perez, approximately 52, of San Ysidro, was injured but before going to the hospital told authorities the vehicle had brake problems.
The bus was returning to Tijuana on State Route 38, a two-lane highway that meanders through San Bernardino National Forest, when the accident occurred around 6:30 p.m.
A person involved in the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was ongoing said the bus was going slowly down the hill and was being passed by other vehicles, including the Saturn, when it suddenly sped up.
The bus traveled about a mile from the point it struck the Saturn until it came to a stop, California Highway Patrol Officer Leon Lopez said.
Maria Salazar's daughter, 28-year-old Diana Maldonado of San Diego, was among those injured. Salazar said her daughter described the terror of the bus flipping and her head smashing through a window as she was propelled out of the vehicle. She lost consciousness and awoke as paramedics tended to her.
Maldonado hurt her back and shoulder but remarkably did not break any bones, according to her mother, who said her two other daughters had planned to make the trip but did not.
"I just thank God they did not go," Salazar said in Spanish as she choked back tears.
The crash littered Route 38 with body parts, winter clothing and debris. The bus stood across both lanes with its windows blown out, front end crushed and part of the roof peeled back like a tin can.
"I saw many people dead. There are very, very horrendous images in my head, things I don't want to think about," Barrientos said as he and girlfriend Lluvia Ramirez, who both work at a government hospital in Tijuana, waited outside the Loma Linda University Medical Center emergency room for word on a friend who broke her neck.
Barrientos, who was uninjured, quickly sprang into action following the crash, moving his friends to safety and then tried to help the bus driver, whose hand was pinned between rocks. Ramirez, who had a bloody ear, dark bruises and a scratch on her neck, suffered a hairline vertebra fracture.
"I was overwhelmed," she said. "I'm a surgical resident and I usually know how to react, but I was so in shock I didn't know what to do. I just stayed with my friend."
The gruesomeness of the injuries made it difficult for authorities to determine just how many had died. They initially said eight but then reduced the number to seven after determining no additional bodies were in the wrecked bus.
At least 17 people were still hospitalized Monday, including at least five in critical condition.
The bus driver had major injuries, Lopez said, and the pickup driver was in extremely serious condition, said Peter Brierty, assistant county fire chief.
No one answered the door at the Scapadas Magicas office in a sprawling complex that houses more than 1,300 storage lockers and about 30 small offices.
Jordi Garcia, marketing director of Interbus Tours, said his company rented the bus from Scapadas Magicas, which supplied the driver.
Interbus offers near-daily bus tours to the western U.S. from Tijuana. Its office in a Tijuana strip mall displays photographs of some of its destinations, including Hollywood, the Las Vegas Strip and the San Diego Zoo.
There were 38 people aboard the bus that crashed, including the driver and a tour guide, Garcia said. The bus left Tijuana at 5 a.m. Sunday, with the itinerary calling for a return late that night.
He said he spoke briefly with his tour guide, who suffered bruises. She told him she heard a loud pop before the crash.
Associated Press reporters contributing to this report included Raquel Maria Dillon in San Bernardino County and Michael R. Blood, Andrew Dalton and Bob Jablon in Los Angeles. Flaccus reported from Loma Linda, Calif.

I've never heard of this (and neither had she) but the family had hired a professional photographer! I am not making this up. As each group of guests came in they were asked to have their picture taken standing by the casket (mercifully closed) and widowed spouse ("say 'cheese' everyone!").
After everyone was there, the photographer filmed the whole ceremony, including burial. You could sign up to have a free CD of the funeral soundtrack sent to you, or (for only $9.95) also get a DVD with video so you can always revisit the excitement.
This was all part of the package that was offered by the mortuary.
I have nothing against photographers. They work at weddings, parties, Bar Mitzvahs, etc. But I've never heard of similar stuff being done at funerals.
Am I out of touch? Is this normal these days? Does anyone else think this is strange?
