Overnight Snowfall
Updated: Thursday, January 31 2013, 06:42 PM EST
The storm that brought heavy rains and winds also turned the high mountains white. About two inches of snow in northern Madison County forced schools to cancel classes. Crews also worked snow-covered roads Thursday morning in the Tennesse mountain counties.
People driving from the sunny south were in for a wintry shock when they began the climb up I-26 to the tennessee line. The sky was a dark gray and the air filled with snow as it continued to fall on the northern half of Madison County.
Heavy rains turned to snow overnight and forced snowplow crews to make several passes Thursday morning. All lanes were open by 10 a.m. and warming temperatures turned it all to slush. Attention turned to the backroads and soon most of them were dry by mid-afternoon.
However, crews could be returning to their trucks. Another two inches of snow are forecast to fall in the high mountain counties making roads hazardous Thursday night and Friday morning.

7 Non-Fatty Chips That Are Tastier Than Kettle CookedThese substitutes will fulfill your cravings for salt and crunch—without a ton of calories.
By Lynn Andriani

When You Need a Fix—NowOnce-maligned Brussels sprouts have been getting more and more love lately, showing up shaved in salads and roasted with pancetta. Here's one way you may not have tried these baby cabbages yet: with the leaves separated and each one roasted to a crisp. They're so thin, they cook in just a few minutes, and even slightly charred, they're addictive.
Related ResourcesKeep ReadingSweet and Salty Baked Sweet Potato Chips RecipeSweet-potato chips can be even more satisfying than the usual versions, since you get a caramel-like flavor along with salt and crunch. This recipe from the healthy food site BerryRipe.com combines cinnamon and chili powder, so each bite is sweet and a little spicy, too. Chipotle Chili with Avocado Sour Cream RecipeYou'd never guess this savory chili contains healthy wakame in it since it almost melts away while cooking, leaving only its minerals and detoxifying benefits behind. Like most good chilis, this recipe loves a nice, slow cook to allow the flavors to meld, but is definitely worth the wait.

Afghanistan's got talent
June 24, 2009, 3:44 PM EST
By Caryn James, The Daily Beast
Three new films depicting a hidden side of Islam debut this week. From transsexuals in Iran to the stoning of an adultress, to Afghanistan's version of American Idol, Caryn James says they are as thrilling as they are relevant.
In Tehran, gay men in eye shadow and headscarves hope to avoid arrest; in Afghanistan, a woman's life is threatened after she performs a modest little dance on television. These are among the extraordinary people we meet people in two eye-opening documentaries, Be Like Others and Afghan Star, arriving in the next few days along with The Stoning of Soraya M., a nerve-shattering fact-based drama in which an Iranian woman is stoned to death before our eyes. Add these films to the must-see list of recent videos on CNN and YouTube that have lately made witnesses of us all.
The films' release dates were chosen long ago, timed to follow news of the Iranian election, but no one could have guessed how much more visceral these three movies feel now than they might have two weeks ago. Combining Twitter's sense of immediacy with long-form depth, they offer firsthand views of the horror of living in a society in the grip of Islamic fundamentalists—official rulers in Iran, unofficially still potent in Afghanistan. And these films act as cautionary tales, reminders that cultures change even more slowly than laws.
A scene from "Be Like Others" (©Wolfe Video)
Iranian-American director Tanaz Eshaghian's Be Like Others (which premieres on HBO2 tonight and deserves to be far more widely seen) is the most startling, if only because it deals with a subject rarely discussed in the West. Although homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, sex-change operations are perfectly legal. The result? Many gay men and women have operations they don't want, as the only path they can see to peaceful lives.
The cameras follow two men in their early 20s, candidates for surgery. The heartbreakingly sad Ali-Askar says he can't hold a job as a man because his coworkers tease him for being feminine; he can't walk down the street dressed as a woman without being harassed or arrested. After the surgery, though, we see that he—now she—has been disowned by her family and works as a prostitute.
Anoosh, a young man living with his mother and siblings, hopes to become a woman so he can marry his boyfriend, who is embarrassed to be seen in public with another man. After the gender change, Anoosh feels more comfortable with her female identity, but her fiancé balks at marriage. (On a slightly brighter note, the couple has since married.)
Vida, who changed from male to female several years before, claims to hate gays. She has internalized the religious leaders' reasoning, which takes refuge in ancient laws that never anticipated modern medicine: Homosexuality is to be avoided at all costs, even if it means changing sex. As a Shiite cleric and legal expert explains on camera, transsexuals are created that way by nature and free to change, while "homosexuals are doing something unnatural and against religion." This is where the loopy logic of fundamentalism leads people like Vida: gay self-loathing or utter denial.
And these newly identified women are facing a whole new set of problems. As a female in a clinic's waiting room says to men considering surgery, "It isn't so great being a woman in this society. Why do you guys want to be women so badly?"
Good question, and one that's at the center of Afghan Star, British director Havana Marking's documentary about Afghan's version of American Idol. At first, the film (opening June 26 in New York and throughout the summer in other cities) seems like a real-life companion piece to Slumdog Millionaire, as it follows the Eastern version of a show cloned throughout the world. As in Idol, the show Afghan Star features performances before a panel of judges, and eliminations by the public phoning in votes for their favorites. But the differences are greater than the echoes, and not only because the music is Eastern, with lyrics like, "My love is a Hindu, but I am a Muslim."
A scene from "Afghan Star" (©Zeitgeist Films)
The ban on music and dancing under the Taliban was only lifted in 2001, and Afghan Star is hugely popular partly because it feels like freedom. Far from Kabul, viewers rig up generators and attach televisions to car batteries to watch. When I saw Afghan Star several weeks ago, its claim (written in its spare narrative text on screen) that for many young people this voting for a singer was "the first time they have encountered democracy" sounded a bit grandiose. After the Iranian election results and the Twitter-fueled reaction, the idea that pop culture is nurturing fragile democracies looks much more convincing.
The film's pop focus soon shifts to women's rights. Two of the three women who auditioned (out of 2,000) land in the top 10, singing in long loose pants and head scarves. When a woman named Setara is voted off and performs her final song, she defiantly dances—it's not sexy; she simply hops across the stage—then compounds her offense by letting the scarf fall from her head.
She has done nothing illegal, but she becomes a national scandal. In her hometown of Herat, people on the street label her a whore, one man says "She deserves to be killed," and a conservative cabinet minister denounces her on television, blaming the mujahedeen for not asserting their influence to prevent this "insult and degradation." The Taliban may be officially out of power (hiding and regrouping wherever), but their grip on the culture is vicious.
Shohreh Aghdashloo in "The Stoning of Soraya M." (©Roadside Attractions)
An older regime's haunting shadow is also the message of the vivid, unsettling The Stoning of Soraya M. (opening June 26) by the American-born director Cyrus Nowrasteh, whose parents fled Iran. The story, based on actual events investigated and novelized by a French-Iranian journalist, is set in 1986 in a dusty village still looks biblical. Zahra (played by the incredible Shohreh Aghdashloo from House of Sand and Fog) tells a reporter the story of her niece, Soraya, whose moustache-twirling villain of a husband, in league with a corrupt mullah, falsely accused his wife of adultery so he could marry a 14-year-old. Soraya received the legal punishment: death by stoning.
Flashing back to these events, Nowrasteh creates a grueling scene that you can't take your eyes off—Soraya (Mozhan Marno) is buried in sand to her shoulders, and the villagers gather to throw rocks small enough so death will be long and painful. Weeks ago the scene evoked Shirley Jackson's chilling story "The Lottery"; now it also echoes with the death of Neda, the young woman shot as she protested on the streets of Tehran. But Soraya was an innocent who refused to believe she was in danger. Zahra is the heroine—the ancestor of Neda and other protesting and blogging Iranians—who risks her life to get the terrible truth out to the world.
It's tempting to relegate Soraya's story to the past. But stoning remains the official punishment for adultery in Iran, and even though a moratorium was called on such executions in 2002, according to Amnesty International at least six men and women have been stoned since then. Earlier this month an Amnesty statement on the election said "At least one person has been stoned to death this year in Iran" and the group is "aware of" 10 men and women now under that sentence.
The issue goes beyond that primitive punishment, anyway. These three urgent films, with their behind-the-headlines perspectives, speak to the broader human-rights terrors in Iran and Afghanistan. They may be sobering forecasts for Iran, where narrow-minded attitudes are bound to linger even if the reformists succeed. But more than that, these films are exhilarating in their portraits of women like Setara and Zahra, who dare to claim freedom as their own.
Caryn James is a cultural critic for The Daily Beast. She also contributes to Marie Claire and The New York Times Book Review. She was a film critic, chief television critic and critic-at-large for The New York Times, and an editor at the Times Book Review. She is the author of the novels Glorie and What Caroline Knew.
The Almighty Allah says,
"When a servant thinks of Me, I am near.
When he invokes Me, I am with him.
If he reflects on Me in secret, I reply in secret,
And if he acknowledges Me in an assembly,
I acknowledge him in a far superior assembly."

Can't say I'd ever want to see any of these films. Can't anyone make a film that talks about the mainstream positive culture and people of these countries instead of the freakish elements?? sigh...

I think Afghan Star was recently shown in the UK. I wanted to watch it but ended up missing it.
I've seen Be Like Others as that too was shown in the UK, either earlier this year or last yr, can't remember when. It was actually sad, especially when they have the sex change and how they (one in particular) are then treated. Interesting to watch but bizarre. There was a blatant line of blasphemy though and it's shocking to think how far people will go to justify sex changes. One of the doctors in the programme actually said, 'God made a mistake'
. That line has stayed with me the most from the programme, May Allaah Protect us from such ugly sayings.
'If he woke up and had enough food for the day and shelter (a roof over his head) and he does not fear for his safety, then it is as if he has been given the dunya.'

He added, "Our company has come a long way by being focused on improving asset quality and growing our core bank earnings."
Ryback continued, "We are also pleased to announce several very important recent developments: First, on April 19, the company received notification that the written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, originally entered into on July 28, 2011, was lifted. Our board and management team have worked tirelessly to improve our financial condition and it is rewarding to have our regulators acknowledge this improvement by terminating the agreement.
"Another significant development that occurred in April was the repurchase at auction of preferred shares that were issued to the United States Department of Treasury during the low point of the economic recession. If you'll recall, on Jan. 30, 2009, the company issued 11,949 non-voting preferred shares to the Treasury for the purpose of shoring up our capital position in support of our efforts to improve the asset quality of our loan portfolio.
"Now, four years later, after having made significant progress towards achievement of our asset quality improvement goals, we have been successful in repurchasing 7,000 shares of the outstanding securities from the Treasury for $7.6 million.
"This repurchase at auction results in a discount of approximately 7 percent on the face value of the preferred shares plus related outstanding dividends. In order to repurchase these preferred securities, the company used proceeds from the April 15 issuance of $7.5 million in unsecured borrowings from an unrelated third party. The company plans to repurchase the remaining 4,949 preferred shares through the continued retention of earnings.
"The repayment to the Treasury and the exit from this government program are indicators of the bank's progress in successfully navigating through the global financial crisis while at the same time protecting our common shareholders' best interests. Not many of our community bank competitors can say the same. Some of these institutions were unable to access sufficient capital in any form and, as a result, their institutions failed.
"Many of the institutions that survived did so by issuing dilutive common stock at prices below book value. Our company, on the other hand, was able to access non-dilutive capital and with our strengthening financial condition we are now in a position to repurchase these preferred shares.
"With the Treasury auction now behind us we are thrilled to be able to return our full attention to the business of banking as well as our other long-term strategic initiatives. As always, we are appreciative of the patience and support from our shareholders, clients and employees," concluded Ryback.
Founded in 1980, Plumas Bank is a locally owned and managed full-service community bank based in Northeastern California. Headquartered in Quincy, the bank operates 11 branches located in the counties of Plumas, Lassen, Placer, Nevada, Modoc and Shasta.

Chicago's Aqua Tower Will Be Home To Radisson Blu Hotel
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Real Estate Developments
Chicago's Aqua skyscraper will be home to the first Radisson Blu hotel in the U.S. Chicago Breaking Business says that Carlson Hotels is planning a $125 million hotel for the first 18 floors of the 82-story building. A prior deal to have the tower host a Fairmont-brand hotel fell through several years ago. The building is also home to condo units. Current prices for units on the market range from $299,000 for a studio to $1,988,832 for a four-bedroom unit.
The building has won awards for its unique style that includes wave-like balconies. In 2009, Jeanne Gang, principle and founder of Studio Gang Architects earned a PETA Proggy award for using bird-deflecting elements in the residential building and hotel. The undulating exterior and etched glass help prevent birds from flying directly into windows. The building also contains 55,000 square feet of retail and office space. The hotel will open this fall and rooms will probably average more than $200 per night.

muchomoto's daily doodle
after sitting down one afternoon to draw for a few minutes I ended up staying at the table for two hours because I hadn't drawn in a few months. this experiment started as a way to keep up my drawing skills between major projects and share some funny drawings with friends. I try to keep few rules with the project because no pressure means they can be as elaborate or simple as I want. check it out, tell your friends and enjoy

Hello everyone, just started a new clan called the Red Death. We need streakers to help level the clan and definitely some GFXers. We do not have much so far due to the fact that we started the clan just a few days ago. Everyone that wants to join is welcome and will be accepted, but if you want to be member ranked, you will have to consistently put up at least a 70% win percentage while streaking. If you are interested in joining, please message me and/or come to http://xat.com/TheRedDeath. Thank you! |

Who has the most to lose from Obama's new debt plan? Multi-millionaires, of course, says Jon Stewart. Republican Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana appeared on MSNBC to explain how hard things are as a small business owner, even before Obama's proposed "millionaire's tax;" though he makes over $6 million a year, he says that he "only has about $400,000" to reinvest in his businesses. With the tax increase, "the super rich are going [to go] extinct," warns Stewart. "We'd add them to the endangered species list, but you know how much they despise government regulation." Watch the Daily Show's take on the plight of a "shrinking, exploited minority."

Counselor to present "Relationships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"
Dr. Brenda Crawford, personal counselor at Morningside College, will present "Relationships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" on Monday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. in the UPS Auditorium of the Lincoln Center, 3627 Peters Ave.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
Crawford will discuss techniques for promoting effective communication in interpersonal relationships and offer suggestions for navigating through difficult communication situations and conflicts. She will also present information on how to identify and avoid abusive relationships.
"The information, particularly good communication, can be used in any relationship that you have, not just a romantic relationship," she said. "People say they communicate well, but communication can always be improved. I'll talk a little bit about strategies for doing that."
Crawford received her bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology and a doctorate in counseling psychology from Iowa State University in Ames. She has clinical experience in individual and group behavioral health services, including substance abuse, depression, domestic violence, eating disorders, and grief counseling, among others. She is a member of the American Psychological Association.

A Blessed Child, To The Worsened Realm Millenia ago, created, was the Universe, Which He, with His infinite Love, would nurse, And, an Orb, of His best imagination, Of His best creation, Filled with majestic depths of the sea, And mountains, as high as could they be: Souls, His children, departed from His Infinity, Dispersing from His Singularity, And in this Orb, after separation, still walked alongside Their Father, Whom would they perfectly abide. Now, in this Orb, of materialistic joy, Lured by this decoy, Have gradually started to decline You, and in their ego, started to pine, Committed crimes of utter fright To other Souls on the higher realms, And which was not in sight, Is now at the helm. My Lord, please send us Your Blessed Child, Who, in his conduct, will be simple and mild, And in this Worsened Realm, would enlighten The Souls and brighten, Every dark corner with Your imperishable Light, To bring You, again, in sight.

Judged: 1 1 1 I think I love you! If I don't, I should!:* |
Explanation prevents a lot of false impressions and a lot of misunderstandings that can grow and fester with time, in some People's minds....causing more problems. Explanation is free, easy, a very simple way to avoid that happening. More People should do it, IMO! |
Judged: 1 1 1 Thank you, Dee Lay...I found you to a nice Person, also.:) |
Uh, Dee...I really don't see the humor in that. I think I resemble that! LOL! |
"IMNTBHO" Since: Dec 10 7,033 On The Road Again |
I actually followed it on satellite radio while I drive LOL |
Sure you do!!!!!!!!!!Linda
Judged: 2 1 1 I don't really know what you mean by that nor who you really are, so I'll just leave it alone...unless you want to explain further. Remember what I said about "explanations preventing a lot of misunderstandings"...and hard feelings. |
Judged: 2 2 1 And now for the tricky part: our homework. Have you ever been tempted to click a link your Tea Partier friend or crazy uncle shared on Facebook after reading their vitriol spew out setting up the link? Have you ever wanted to pick up Atlas Shrugged after watching an unhinged NeoCon claim its the most important book other than The Bible and youre a Socialist piece of shit for not loving it? No. Of course you havent. So while Im all for calling every member of the Tea Party out for their hypocrisy, and while I do so here and on social media willingly, perhaps its time to become more selective and diplomatic with the conservatives who just genuinely dont realize theyre being lied to and given half-truths all the time. Maybe with a little bit of that trademark liberal compassion we can at least get them to just turn Fox News off. Lets learn from the mistakes of the zealots. When engaging in verbal combat with a conservative, one thats not foaming at the mouth of course, perhaps we can just gently float a link to a non-Murdoch media outlet. Maybe we can drop our own ad hominem attacks and focus more on their argument, their position, than who the person is thats fighting back against us. Im not immune to the temptation of pejoratives. Ive called my fair share of people Tea Baggers or Conserva-Dopes. And I cant promise Ill stop that altogether. I suppose Im just arguing for better target assessment. Should Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan and Bachmann all get the most amount of shit heaped upon them as humanly possible? Of course. But that conservative friend you have that maybe just doesnt realize there are other options out there? He might be swayed with some good ol fashioned conversation. Hey, I noticed you shared that image on Facebook of Obama dressed as Hitler. Did you know that Hitler never actually ordered the disarmament of his people? I Googled it, and heres a couple of links I found that you might find interesting. Their response will tell you whether its worth pursuing the conversation further. Remember, its not our job to get them to think like we do. Im a former conservative. Let me tell you from experience that it takes a personally introspective effort to flip from one side of the aisle to the other. In my case it took me finally realizing I never believed the things I was being force-fed as my belief system at least not everything - and that Id always been a liberal person. For others, maybe its just a matter of getting that right fact, that right little tidbit of knowledge that will turn someone around. Or perhaps just talking more civilly with those will reciprocate will also open up avenues of compromise we never thought possible. But it certainly cant hurt, to exercise the Golden Rule in place of nuclear weaponry. I know there will be some, maybe some of my regular readers, who think Im going soft. I assure you, thats not the case. I will always stand up and vociferously claim our right to believe what we want, and to push back on our legislators to do their jobs and represent us. But Im a pragmatists too. I realize that compromise is the only way things get done in this country in a way that doesnt turn our country in on itself. Yes, there will be extremes on both sides of the aisle, and I may even hold some of those extreme opinions, but rebuilding our country after the devastation that eight years of war and another four of political demagoguery have wrought will also require rebuilding the fences between Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives. CON'T.) |
Judged: 2 2 2 Maybe well never knock that fence down completely, but that doesnt mean we cant be respectful of each others properties either. Im not suggesting giving in. Im not suggesting changing our position. Clearly if the Republicans want to remain relevant nationally they that have soul-searching to do on their platform and its values. But there is still plenty of work to be done by the Democrats to be kind shepherds of the liberal agenda, leading by example. They will always resist our ideas, but with some coaxing and a little bit of political give and take, youd be surprised what can get done. Theres already a sweeping immigration reform bill that was presented by a bipartisan cadre of senators. There is hope. There is change. But it has to be done together, or its pointless to try. The winds of change are already blowing in our direction. Polls are showing more and more people in favor of marriage equality, immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship, and even legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana. Progress is inevitable, as long as we dont scare off the level-headed among our opposition. Theyre out there we just cant be afraid to go looking for them. And once we find them, we have to convince them stay. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Linda, in my part of Tennessee I'm standing at that fence you speak of and I can't talk to any Republicans/Independents(well maybe 1 or 2) because they are nowhere near the fence, and I'm not going to yell. The level-headed ones you speak of are the only ones I can speak to. |
Im fine Dee, good to hear from you ! How do you like being retired ? |
Judged: 1 1 1 Two of these Senators have aspirations for the Presidency in 2016'. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Republicans will always remain relevant as long as there are people like you in the other party. Keep it coming, you are the best recruiter the republicans ever had. You are the reason this area is over 80% Republican. Thank you! |
"Last week, the conservative Independent Womens Forum said the Violence Against Women Act, passed first in 1994, was a waste of money that could actually be intensifying domestic violence. Although there is little credible evidence that V.A.W.A. programs are reducing the effects and occurrence of domestic and sexual violence, there is evidence that several of the policies instituted under V.A.W.A. may actually be harming the very victims they were designed to protect, wrote Christina Villegas, a visiting fellow at the group." The last time I checked, there were already zillions of laws that severely punish men who abuse women. We can start with battery, assault, domestic assault, etc. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Lesseee. Headlines on Violence against women act: Huffington Post: Senate Set To Vote On Violence Against Women Act Monday http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/04/sena... NY Times: Violence Act Returns in Test of Republicans Appeal to Women http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/us/politics... Even ThinkProgress: Eight Senators Vote To Block Violence Against Women Act http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/02/04/1... But here's the sharia law supporting AlGorezeera headline: Eight Republicans Vote Support for Violence Against Women No bias there. Completely objective. I do note that as of right now, there are no comments. Apparently the web site attracts the same number of people who watch Current TV. None. I love it. The news agency owned by the Emir of Qatar, who enforces sharia law that is not exactly favorable to women, shouting out about supporting violence against women. They do think we're stupid. |

The Sequim American Legion Post will be helping man the booth in front of Walmart from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays starting the day after Thanksgiving. Please come by and contribute new, unwrapped toys or give a cash donation.
For more information on the campaign, go to www.toysfortots.org. Let's make Christmas special for all the youngsters in Clallam County.
November is a big month for Operation Holiday Stockings. Their deadline for stockings and the "stuffing" is Nov. 28. So far they have requests for 3,500 stockings! They need lip balm, moisture wipes, drink mixes, small size baby powder, sample size shampoo, toothpaste, soap and lotion and toothbrushes. Money for postage always is needed.
Donations can be left at A Dropped Stitch, 170 W. Bell St. in Sequim. Money donations can be mailed to Operation Holiday Stockings, PO Box 3186, Sequim, WA 98382.
Many of the requests for stockings are coming directly from the troops. Moms and officers' wives also are asking for support for their children or for their officer's unit. You can get more info at www.operationholidaystockings.com. Please help us give the troops a bit of Christmas spirit and let them know we are thinking of them at this special time of year.
Did you know there is a Veterans Memorial in Sequim? It is at 544 N. Sequim Ave. at the flag pole across from the school. There are engraved tiles honoring and memorializing service veterans and organizations — I have a tile there!
If you would like to be a part of this memorial by purchasing a tile for around $30, call Larry Klinefelter at 360-912-1976 or e-mail email@example.com. Order forms are at www.macsequim.org.
As in years past, the American Legion Auxiliary will be hosting a Christmas Store for the residents of the Veterans Home in Retsil (Port Orchard) the last week of November. Residents can choose gifts for family members and write them cards. The ladies wrap and pack the presents and mail them — all at no cost to the resident.
We need money for postage and nice items for presents — family games, boxes of candy, small appliances, gift sets of any kind. If you have gifts or money to donate, call me and I will pick them up — 683-6419.

Breaking News! The Jets have named Mark Sanchez the starting quarterback this coming Sunday against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
In all honesty, this move isn't a surprise at all. Rex Ryan was going to stick with Mark Sanchez rest of the way, even though he was awful last week vs the Cardinals.
This move can't make Jets fans too happy right now. They wanted to see team start Greg McElroy or Tim Tebow for that matter, but that won't happen.
Mark Sanchez has been awful this season and I can't understand why the Jets are sticking with him. He is not the answer at QB for the future.
Why not start Greg McElory who provided the Jets a spark to the offense, though they only scored 7 points to beat the Cardinals.
Anyway, the Jets don't have the QB of the future on this team right now and they need to look at other QB's in the offseason or they are stuck with Mark Sanchez next season.

The All New Afternoon Show
What can you expect listening to Johnathon and Lindsey every afternoon? We have no idea. They just started.
What we do know is this- Whether you're sitting in the school pick-up line, in bumper-to-bumper traffic, or in the drive-thru lane, you'll want to have Johnathon and Lindsey along with you. While they are both tall, blonde, and have scented candles in their offices, it's their differences are what make these two truly unique. One is a piano player and lover of children. The other is a foodie and a lover of Range Rovers. You'll have to listen to figure out which one is which. With Johnathon and Lindsey, it really is possible to have a smile on your face at the end of the day.
Lindsey Capperrune
If Lindsey wasn't behind a microphone every afternoon, you could most definitely find her behind the counter at a bakery. Eventually, she dreams of owning one—providing the long hours don't get in the way of her Sunday afternoon nap. As the oldest of three sisters, Lindsey is a girlie-girl with a love of pretty shoes, pretty fonts, and pretty pictures (as evidenced by her Pinterest page), and she's the only person we know who has an old-fashioned pink radio in her office. Lindsey is married to her best friend, Adam, and together they love turning old junk into beautiful, new creations…kinda like God does with us.
Johnathon Eltrevoog
Few things surpass Johnathon and his wife Natalie's passion for children (he and his wife have fostered 18 of them); however, Portillo's Italian Beef and Gino's East pizza come close. Born and raised in Ottawa IL, the newest member of the WBGL team is an Olivet Nazarene University alum and a die-hard Cubs fan. He also loves to read, which is a good thing because Johnathon is currently working on his master's degree in ministry. He and his wife, Natalie, have had their little boy, Carter, since he was three months old.
Little Janet
Johnathon and Lindsey will soon be making a visit to see 4 year old Janet who is facing childhood cancer. We would love to be able to surprise her with lots of letters, pictures, cards and drawings! You can send what you have to the address below-
The Afternoon Show
4101 Fieldstone Rd.
Champaign, IL
Recent Interview with Daniel Brown on Grace- Check out the interview here!
You can connect

Biological research is increasingly debunking the view of humanity as competitive, aggressive and brutish.
"Humans have a lot of pro-social tendencies," Frans de Waal, a biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Monday.
New research on higher animals from primates and elephants to mice shows there is a biological basis for behavior such as co-operation, said de Waal, author of The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society.
Until just 12 years ago, the common view among scientists was that humans were "nasty" at the core but had developed a veneer of morality - albeit a thin one, de Waal told scientists and journalists from some 50 countries at the conference in Vancouver, Canada.
But human children - and most higher animals - are "moral" in a scientific sense, because they need to co-operate with each other to reproduce and pass on their genes, he said.
Research has disproved the view, dominant since the 19th century, typical of biologist Thomas Henry Huxley's argument that morality is absent in nature and something created by humans, said de Waal.
And common assumptions that the harsh view was promoted by Charles Darwin, the so-called father of evolution, are also wrong, he said.
'Pro-social' tendencies
"Darwin was much smarter than most of his followers," said de Waal, quoting from Darwin's The Descent of Man that animals that developed "well-marked social instincts would inevitably acquire a moral sense or conscience".
De Waal showed the audience videos from laboratories revealing the dramatic emotional distress of a monkey denied a treat that another monkey received; and of a rat giving up chocolate in order to help another rat escape from a trap.
Such research shows that animals naturally have pro-social tendencies for "reciprocity, fairness, empathy and consolation," said de Waal.
"Human morality is unthinkable without empathy."
Asked if wide public acceptance of empathy as natural would change the intense competition on which capitalist economic and political systems are based, de Waal quipped, "I'm just a monkey watcher."
But he told reporters that research also shows animals bestow their empathy on animals they are familiar with in their "in-group" - and that natural tendency is a challenge in a globalised human world.
"Morality" developed in humans in small communities, he said, adding: "It's a challenge... it's experimental for the human species to apply a system intended for [in-groups] to the whole world."

War on coal intensifyingSeptember 14, 2013Editor: The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is strongly critical of the U.S. EPA's proposed rules on new coal-using power plants that are due to be released next week.... TruthSeekerHey Joe.......you talking about the Wall Street that Obama and democrats helped BAIL OUT with our tax dollars? LOLOLOLOL> How do you even mention Wall Street with a straight face? heh. Yeah, Obama hates Wall Street so much; Wall Street donated thousands to his campaign for bailing them out. You should LOVE Wall Street now. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerBwhahahaha......Joe you're too funny! Even with your miserable radical clueless filthy rich millionaire democrats like the last one, Humphreys from Charleston could not spend enough millions to defeat Capito. WV voters have seen enough of you democrats over past several years and are thoroughly fed up with the whole bunch of you. Manchin will NOT get re-elected as he's a typical turncoat and Natalie Tennant is just a female version of Joe Manchin as he's 'trained' her with his own progressive idiotic views and ideas. You dems are worried and you know it. Obama's poll numbers are at 37% approval. HAHA~ Yeah that sounds like the country is loving your progressive socialism. FYI: 2+2=4 and not 5 like the socialist indoctrinated Common Core education sponsored by Manchin and Gov. Tomblyn and all democrats. Parents are fighting out against that piece of crap educational tool from the weasels with no morals and values too. No more school levy passes until Common Crap is gone. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryYou might be right. The lunatics do bother me more than they are worth. Good thing that I'm going on vacation and I'm leaving this nonsense behind for a few weeks. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoefromelkinsWhatmeWorry worries too much about these right wing lunatics who love politician who love Grover Norquist's pledge rather than their oath to protect and serve the Constitution. Capito's Wall Street skeletons will be falling out of the closet very soon. I wouldn't be surprised if she drops out of the race. We will smash the GOP to smithereens. 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryThat means that you can go swimming without getting fined for polluting the water. (not really, the regulations haven't been suspended). 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerBest thing about govt shutdown?

If you don't care to know what he actually said and get an idea of the context there isn't much I can do for you although putting you on ignore seems about right. 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryWhat I do when I get my bills is pay them. After all I requested the service. It isn't rocket science. I do have to wonder who pays your bills. You aren't bright enough to hold much of a job. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryHe did say that they would go up but as I keep trying to let you know Cap and Trade isn't going to happen so the point that you are feebly trying to make is moot. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerWhat...........You KNOW he said it. They aired it enough times on tv that there isn't anyone who hasn't seen the interview and Obama admitting that EVERYONE'S UTILITY RATES WOULD 'necessarily' QUADRUPLE. You can't deal with that??? THen what will you do when you get your BILLS?????? Bwahaha....you are too funny. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryShow me one place where he said quadruple and I'll admit to being mistaken otherwise shut up an read something. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryThere is no point in lying to a moron. You deceive yourselves. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerAnd WHAT continues his lies although the majority of folks with 'intelligence' KNOW what Obama said. You have to be pretty stupid with all the PROOF of Obama's comments on quadruple utility rates on interviews/videos/audio 'proving' what I said was correct. But when liberals are proven wrong; they resort to their childish antics of 'just lie.' Bwahaha....that's the point you realize they KNOW they've been called out and proven to be lying yet once again. It's getting rather boring. You'd think they could at least come up with something 'new.' LOLOL. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorry...and personally I think that is good. C&T was a bad idea. At least for now. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryWhy should I deceive you? You do fine on your own. Obama never said that he would quadruple electric rates. He said that if he could pass Cap and Trade that electric rates would go up substantially. Cap and Trade doesn't have a prayer of passing so the point is moot. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerWHAT>.........your obvious 'attempts' to deceive people is laughable. You know full well exactly what Obama is doing and what he said 5 years ago. Once the LAST coal mine is shut down thanks to idiots like you.....YOU WILL SEE YOUR ELECTRIC BILL QUADRUPLE. News flash to ignorant left brains..........Those are OBAMA'S promises NOT MINE! MORONS! 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorry.....although you did sound like you had found a source of electricity that is really charging too much. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryYou misunderstand me. If you think that the price of electricity has quadrupled sine 2009 then someone else should do your shopping. You can't do math well enough to do it yourself. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerRoflamo. OMG! Can What can any more stupid? Where do you "shop" for electricity? Democrats are too darn crazy funny. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryAre you paying quadruple rates? I'm not. Maybe you just aren't bright enough to shop. 2 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerYeah....quadruple electric rates. Thanks Rockefeller. Thanks Manchin. And now Manchins little pal, Natalie Tennent wants a job in the senate. No freaking way. No more radical progressives. These people are NUTS! 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerYeah Manchin lied about not being with Obama on coal and Obamacare but he turned around and sucked right up to him. Now, his handpicked secretary of state Natalie Tennant is running to be in senate with him. Voters better keep BOTH of these radicals OUT of WV or gun control will be next whether YOU likeit or not. Democrats have PROVEN that they don't care what the people think. 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 25 of 25 comments
