"You cannot use deadly force to protect your property" – The Police
The police in Milton, KS arrested a homeowner after he shot two (of four) people attempting to rob him. An officer in the video below – still researching for names – states, "You cannot use deadly force to protect your property, or if someone's running away from you not being a threat." Ugh, where to start with that statement. Does this officer realize that officers around the world are using tasers, pepper spray, rubber bullets and flash bangs who are "not being a threat" to anyone. Or that officers are justified by their peers if the kill someone holding what they think to be a weapon but turns out to be nothing lethal at all – like a water nozzle.
These officers, by enforcing such laws, have made it safer for criminals in Kansas to rob you. All a criminal has to do is break into your house and if you're home, or if you wake up, run away. It doesn't matter that you were trying to steal from, or maybe rape, that person. The person actually harmed, the victim, can do nothing to hold you accountable, or to protect themselves, but to call the police – according to the 'law.'
Good call, Milton police. You've just made the community less safe. By charging this homeowner you've sent a message to other people that if they defend their property, they'll be charged with a crime. You've also let all the criminals know that as well, again, good call.

The Jury will not convict. Let's hope not, anyway.

Fortunately in Texas it is legal to use deadly force to protect your home. Perhaps because someone breaking in represents a threat to life as well. A few years ago it was extended to your vehicle.
I believe it has also be used successfully in court as defense to shoot someone out of fear for your life if you have a gun and they do not, but you tell them to stop and they continue to come at you – the presumption being they could wrestle the gun from you and use it against you.
A plus for living in Texas.

This happened in Franklinville, NJ…one of the most repressive departments in South Jersey… but they didn't charge the homeowner at all. We were surprised but also delighted. NJ gun policy sucks. Anyway, and now I'm speaking from experience, if you get into a similar experience do not speak or give a statement. I was acquitted in my case and a big part was that I didn't give them anything to twist or lie about.

Ademo, I know you don't like hearing from me but I'll say my piece anyway. After all, its a free country, right? First of all, I totally agree that the police use unnecessary force and brutality against innocent people all the time which I think we should all work to stop. But, your explanation of the common law is not correct. If someone, breaks into your house and you have a reasonable fear that either you or someone else will be harmed, you are legally allowed to use reasonable force to protect PEOPLE from that harm. So, it is not accurate to say that you can do nothing but call the police and wait for them to come.
However, it is true that you can't use DEADLY force against someone to protect your property. I would suggest though that instead of just being inflammatory about this, that you and your readers discuss the various situations under which you think people should use deadly harm because that is how the common law developed. If a kid comes on your farm and steals an apple, do you have the right to shoot him. How about a drunk neighbor who ends of on your property by mistake late at night and is rummaging around in the dark? Do you have a right to use deadly force? How about the old woman from down the street who has Alzeheimer's and comes in your house because she's wandered off and makes herself at home. Should you use any amount of force to make her leave? Or let's even take a real burglar who has broken in and stolen $500 worth of jewelry and is running away when you discover him. Should death be the penality for stealing $500? How about the shoplifter in a store who steals a candybar or even someone who steals a steak. Should the shopkeeper pull out a gun and shoot them? How about someone who pulls into your driveway to turn around and accidentally damages your child's bicylce? Should you get out a sledge hammer and pound on his hood? The basic idea of this law is not that people shouldn't be held accountable for their wrongs. It is that the punishment should fit the crime and the punishment should be decided by reasonable people who have time to calmly assess the situation. The problem with law is that a law must be flexible enough to take into consideration extenuating circumstances and also must be clear enough and concise enough to apply to thousands or millions of situations which all differ from each other in the details. Under a law that you would propose, if someone hits your car on the road, should you take out a tire iron and damage her/her car right then and there? How bout if you see someone driving drunk, should you shoot that person. The harm they may cause could be may more times more serious than the thief who stole your jewelry.
- Mr. Bawkbagawk
how do you shoot someone in the face while they are running away?
Uggggg where do we go from here… Let's use some common sense and OH… how about looking up some case law ans figure out what's going on here. Cops can only use deadly force when they, or someone else is threatened by deadly force, or when the suspect poses a greater risk to society if he escapes. Same goes for everyone else, except regular citizens can shoot someone breaking into their house(not after while they are running away). The guy is running away, so he no longer poses a direct threat at the guy.
Tazers and everything else are less than lethal tools legally approved in the apprehension of suspects. Do people die once in a while involving these? Yep!! And people have died after fist fights and being tackled by the police as well. Should cops not use any force and just say "stop" and if the bad guy doesn't.. well that's OK cause he's not that bad of a bad guy since he's only raped 1 women, or robbed 1 guy, or shot at 2 people…………..
Also.. I think it would be nice if people were required to post actualy links.. or is this just an editorial site where we simply have to go on the posters understanding of the opinion they post.
Lets hope at the least one juror goes the route of jury nullification

@POSSGT: Cops can only use deadly force when they, or someone else is threatened by deadly force, or when the suspect poses a greater risk to society if he escapes.
Unless you happen to be a Chicago cop who shoots a handcuffed suspect who is face down on the grass in the back 3 times
Or an Arizona cop who invades the wrong home and kills a veteran. Over 65 bullet holes in his body.

This will be tossed out. If you wake up to several strangers ransacking your house at 2 am, you should really assume that they mean you physical harm. I know I wouldn't expect them to peacefully rob you and leave when they outnumber you. I would expect them to actually escalate in that case, and would defend myself appropriately. And if they were found wounded 'in the house' as is stated in the video, they obviously were not 'running away'. I though this was the whole point of US 'Castle' law?
- PaganRocker
Dude, first off, learn to type.
And what protocol allows cops to do and what they actually do are two different things. Not saying all cops break protocol, or that it's not sometimes a good thing, but just saying. What about the ones who taser handcuffed women? Were they in 'immediate danger for their lives'? Huh? Ohhh, right, I forgot that everything they do is right.
Is that like the ONLY thing you picked up outta this article? If you're gonna bash on

A case in Texas where man shot two burglars running away with property, in the back. They robbed his neighbor, not him. I understand the neighbor asked him to "keep an eye on his house", extending Texas right to protect property to the neighbor.
He was not arrested at the scene, even though a detective saw the shooting, and later at trial the jury declined to prosecute him.
Castle Doctrine, which allows deadly force to protect the home in some states:
http://www.johntfloyd.com/comments/february08/27a.htmTexas obviously feels strongly about the right to defend property.
BUT WAIT!! IT GETS BETTER! Texas penal code actually defines conditions under which it is legal to use force to resist search or arrest!!!!
Sec. 9.31. SELF-DEFENSE. (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force. The actor's belief that the force was immediately necessary as described by this subsection is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:
(1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the force was used:
(A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;
(B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; or
(C) was committing or attempting to commit aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery;
(2) did not provoke the person against whom the force was used; and
(3) was not otherwise engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic at the time the force was used.
(b) The use of force against another is not justified:
(1) in response to verbal provocation alone;
(2) to resist an arrest or search that the actor knows is being made by a peace officer, or by a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction, even though the arrest or search is unlawful, unless the resistance is justified under Subsection (c);
(3) if the actor consented to the exact force used or attempted by the other;
(4) if the actor provoked the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force, unless:
(A) the actor abandons the encounter, or clearly communicates to the other his intent to do so reasonably believing he cannot safely abandon the encounter; and
(B) the other nevertheless continues or attempts to use unlawful force against the actor; or
(5) if the actor sought an explanation from or discussion with the other person concerning the actor's differences with the other person while the actor was:
(A) carrying a weapon in violation of Section 46.02; or
(B) possessing or transporting a weapon in violation of Section 46.05.(c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified:
(1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted use of greater force than necessary.(d) The use of deadly force is not justified under this subchapter except as provided in Sections 9.32, 9.33, and 9.34.
(e) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the force is used is not required to retreat before using force as described by this section.
(f) For purposes of Subsection (a), in determining whether an actor described by Subsection (e) reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary, a finder of fact may not consider whether the actor failed to retreat. - dougo

"You don't have to wait for someone to kill you to defend yourself"-Henry Rothblatt…F. Lee Bailey's former partner. Also remember, "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away." Stop perpetuating this myth that the police are responsible for protecting you. YOU are responsible for protecting you. The police and officious bureaucrat attorneys are responsible for the HERO COMPLEX where they have to be the only ones to rush in and save you.
@ Frank. Don't know the Chicago story so I can't comment there. IN AZ they were confronted with a man holding a rifle who pointed it at them. Not sure what world you live in, but when someone is pointing a rifle at you, that's a deadly force situation. The cloudy and crappy part of the story is that it seems that the devil dog wasn't a big dope dealer.
And Thank's for all those articles.. Most seem to show that when cops use too much or deadly force when it's not warranted, they are charged. So thank's for doing the research to prove my point.
Here are some vids of cops that "aren't your friends.
Here's a story about a cop killed trying to lay out stop sticks to catch 2 bank robber's who were shooting at everyone…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWPG6AtzytAHere's a cop killed by a gunman. On his off-days he spent much of his time with his family, and underprivalage kids..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwuwYUmpSxsHere's a cop who ran into a housefire to save a 23 month old.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApfSWFm04gMI could go on all day. Maybe you should change the words you use in google cause there are millions of good cop stories out there as well.
And as far as this guy goes… if this was in Michigan, we wouldn't have done a damn thing to him if the shooting was inside the home.
- certain
Hey PSO, 10 million good deeds are wiped out by one single beating, arrest, and prosecution done to an innocent person, and covered up by the cops co-workers.
Certain. You couldn't be anymore correct than that!!! Although I don't see much of a cover-up. Cops/prosecutors seem pretty straight forward in this case.
That same sentence is true IMO for all law enforcement. Bottom line is that there isn't a single website out there that is 100% "pro-cop". You've got plenty like copblock who are anti-cop. And all the cop sites STILL post and talk about bad cops. Cop news. People say that they are pro-cop n such.. which they are to a point, but why do they post bad cop stories, maybe it's because they want the WHOLE picture out there. Verses this site who wont even come close to posting a somewhat good-cop story, even if it SHOWS police accountability.

JL Turner. Is that Kansas law?? From what the police are saying, it's not.
- Kevin
Hey people, police officers do not make the laws. Police officers also do not indict people. It is their duty to uphold laws, even laws they don't agree with. The prosecutor can choose not to proceed with the case or a grand jury can fail to indict – but it is the police officers job to arrest and let the legal system sort it out. In Ohio, you may not use deadly force to protect property. However, you are not required to retreat in your home or automobile(castle doctrine) although you still cannot shoot someone who is not presenting deadly force.
This situation sounds like the police officers did what they had to do. Hopefully the prosecutor or grand jury let the homeowner off, because in my opinion 4 guys that don't run away when you say you are armed are presenting deadly force.
Imagine this scenario. You are arguing with your neighbor over something silly like a dog barking. The neighbor invites you over for coffee so you can work it out. What if the neighbor shoots you and says you broke in? Do you want the cops to show up and say, 'Oh, you were protecting your property from your neighbor, it is OK', or do you want them to arrest your neighbor and let the judicial system sort it out?

This gentleman should move to Oklahoma; our "Make My Day" law is the best I'm aware of in the nation. Of course you can't shoot someone who is running away, but you sure can shoot someone to protect your personal property and that is as it should be. Personally, I believe that if the person running away has my property with them while they're running, then they aren't just trying to escape, which might or might not be okay, but they are continuing the commission of a crime that causes undue harm to myself and I should be allowed to at least take out a leg to stop them and retrieve my property. I'm sick and tired of the thiefs and anyone who commits robbery (which by definition means that they are taking your property DIRECTLY away from you, in your presence, deserves a bit of lead. I hate to end someone's life over a mistake and personally prefer to cause painful and lasting damage that will remind the person of their transgressions, however I can hardly fault someone who is in fear for defending themselves.

I would assumed based on the comments made no one actually understands how to read the statutes. Deadly force under the KSA is only to be used when there is a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious injury. That little (b) means it is a seperate sub section of 21-5223. Sub section (a) refers to less than lethal force to prevent an unlawful entry into a dwelling. While there is no duty to retreat, the standard for deadly force still applies. If someone turns to run they can not be killed unless there is reason to believe they still pose an imminent threat I.e. retreating to obtain a weapon or attack a third party. If you want to make a real differnce stop grasping at straws and get a real understanding of how the world works. Until then children, let the adults handle the grown up situations such as this.

I have to chime in on one thing. When someone says, "Cops can only use deadly force when…" What do they mean, "can"? If they mean that the official "government" scribbles pretend to authorize it, fine. But what the "rules" say, and what cops constantly get away with, don't match at all. To say someone "can" do something means only that he is ABLE to do it. Every reader of CopBlock knows that most cops CAN do anything they damn well please, including assault and murder. And most of the time, nothing happens to them, unless someone catches it on tape–in which case, they usually get a paid vacation, while the other fascists do a cover-up, and call it an "investigation." So let's not pretend that the "official" scribbles being cited have anything to do with what happens in reality. In reality, most of the time, cops can do anything they damn well please, and get away with it.
- ScreamingSeagull
@FRANK. And others who agree. If you say cops are not your friend you'd be correct. There not employed to make friends there employed to "serve and protect" its shameful to label ALL cops bad. Yes there are some bad cops out there with no legal excuse to defend their actions and should be punished appropriately.
You can label cops "not your friend" but you would have to do the same for the following careers as they too have bad people:
– Doctor
– Soldier
– Firefighter/EMT

Yeah, because police write the laws, control case law, and choose who gets prosecuted for what.

How Peanuts got its first black character Feb 12 2015
Franklin, the first black member of Charles Schulz's Peanuts gang, made his debut in July 1968. His presence came about through the efforts of Los Angeles schoolteacher Harriet Glickman, who wrote Schulz several letters in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr's assassination arguing that the inclusion of black characters in the most popular comic strip in America would be a positive thing. Here is her initial letter to Schulz:
After some back and forth between Schulz and Glickman, Franklin made his first appearance in the strip.
Franklin's introduction was part of a five-day sequence featuring Sally tossing away Charlie Brown's beach ball and Franklin rescuing it. In some ways, this seems an aggressive bit of integration -- many American public beaches, while no longer legally segregated, were still de facto segregated at the time. In other ways, the strips suggest what might be seen today as an excess of caution; of the twenty panels of the series, Franklin is in ten panels and Sally is in eight, but never is Franklin in the same panel as the white girl. Franklin would not reappear for another two and a half months, when he came for a visit to Charlie Brown's neighborhood. He was somewhat lighter skinned here, which seems to be less a matter of trying to make him acceptable to the readers and more a matter of cutting back on shading lines which were overpowering his facial features. Franklin's job in this series was to react to the oddness of the neighborhood kids, and that was a precursor to what would be his primary role in the strip as a whole. Perhaps due to excessive caution, Franklin was never granted any of the sort of usual quirks that define a Peanuts character, the very sort of mistake that Glickman was warning about when she called for one of the black kids to be "a Lucy."
His inclusion made news nationally and upset many people, particularly in the South. Schulz had a conversation with the president of the comic's distribution company:
I remember telling Larry at the time about Franklin -- he wanted me to change it, and we talked about it for a long while on the phone, and I finally sighed and said, "Well, Larry, let's put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How's that?"

Hill recovers while Nash ails
By Mike Finger : April 25, 2013
Photo By Edward A. Ornelas / San Antonio Express-NewsLakers guard Steve Nash and Spurs counterpart Cory Joseph chase after a loose ball during the second half of the Spurs' 102-91 Game 2 victory at the AT&T Center.
In the visitors' locker room at the AT&T Center on Wednesday evening, a medical marvel smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't believe his luck.
He wasn't supposed to heal so quickly, but he claimed he did. He wasn't supposed to be pain-free, but he insisted he was. And as he slipped on his purple-and-gold jersey, he did so expecting to change a playoff series.
This would have been a much better story for the Los Angeles Lakers if the marvel's name was Steve Nash and not Jordan Hill.
Instead, the Lakers were stuck living out the same weary, beaten-to-shreds tale of a weary, beaten-to-shreds team. Nash, a self-admitted shell of his former self, dragged his aching hamstring with his aching hip and winced with every twist of his aching back, and the Lakers limped to a 102-91 loss in Game 2 of their playoff series against the Spurs.
For days, Nash warned everyone his physical condition wasn't likely to improve. And although he gave proving otherwise an admirable try Wednesday, he clearly had little to give.
He moved the ball well enough to pick up six assists and still had enough feel for his jumper to hit back-to-back shots early in the second quarter, but that was about it. Nash finished with nine points on 4-of-8 shooting and by the fourth quarter looked to be moving only slightly more nimbly than former Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
So even on a night when Steve Blake poured in 16 points, and even on a night when Dwight Howard showed some early inspiration, and even on a night when the Lakers shot and rebounded better than they did in Game 1, it wasn't nearly enough.
With Kobe Bryant recovering from surgery and Nash looking like he needs it, the Lakers simply can't keep up.
"He's not even close to 100 (percent)," coach Mike D'Antoni said of Nash. "He wants to play. He wants to battle through it. He's giving it all he's got. Right now he's the best option we've got. I don't want to injure him, obviously. ... He's trying to gut it out."
As if Nash's predicament wasn't bad enough for the Lakers, things got even worse. Blake, whose shooting kept the game relatively close through three quarters, went to the bench in the final period with what the team labeled a strained right hamstring.
Hill's situation had given them a glimmer of hope. The 6-foot-10 center, who'd undergone hip surgery and been sidelined since Jan. 6, was cleared to play even though he'd originally been expected to miss the entire postseason.
His recovery time, first thought to be six months, had been cut in half.
"They couldn't believe it," said Hill, who scored two points in six minutes. "Everybody thought my season was over."
Unless the miracles are contagious, the Lakers' season might as well be.

Heartwarming: The Runaway Guys
- A meta-example: ProtonJon inspired Chuggaaconroy, who inspired NintendoCapriSun. Now all three are collaborating.
- This can be extended further, given that more than one of the tournament guests have cited NCS as their main inspiration and all of them watched his videos before they made theirs.
- If something that looks serious happens to one of the guys, the others will sound genuinely worried about them, even Jon.
- The guys recorded Super Smash Bros. Brawl at Jon's house and LittleBigPlanet at Chugga's house. Jon is Canadian, which leaves a good distance between the Wisconsin-based NCS and a massive distance from the Georgia-based Chugga. The guys are officially close enough friends in real life to traverse the country just to hang out.
- On one of Tim's BreakingNCS videos, a comment war suddenly started up about whether Chuggaaconroy or NintendoCapriSun was the better Let's Player. After the fight started to go too far, Jon left this comment on the video:
- ProtonJon: Guys, both Tim and Emile have gone through a lot of shit in their lives, and both have found success and enjoyment in LPing. I understand not liking someone's LP's or thinking one person's a better LPer, that's having an opinion, but saying you hate the actual person when you've never met themselves seems kind of ridiculous, don't you think? All you see through LP's is a filtered version of a person, you don't know everything about them.
- Jon made a Formspring post in response to people questioning his apparent rivalry with Chugga. For those who don't want to read the whole thing, it basically says that Jon actually does consider Chugga a good friend, and at one point at Magfest, the former got very sick and Chugga stuck around to help him get better, checking up on him and keeping him company. The final line sums it up amazingly well:
ProtonJon: No matter how stupid our bickering back and forth might be in videos, know that I legitimately like the guy and consider him a very good friend, and watch over him like an older brother would.
- The fact that Chugga and ProtonJon treat Tim kindly, even though they're supposed to be competitive.
- Not on the TRG channel, but during part of his own play through of Mario Party 2, NCS selects Mario and DK as two of the NPCs and — fairly consistently — refers to them as Chuggaaconroy and ProtonJon.
NCS: They're not really here or anything, it's just... I don't know. I guess I miss them and so I decided to invite them in somehow.
- After the Thrown Controllers event, the guys personally invite Diabetus to play Battletoads with them to make up for leaving him out of the Battletoads event in the panel.
Mario Party
- When Jon tells the story of how they met one of Chugga's fans before even arriving at Magfest, then saying how awesome it was that they met her.
- During Bowser's Magma Mountain, when Jon lands on a Chance Time that causes the CPU to give all of its stars to Chuggaaconroy, resulting in him winning the game, Chugga's response is to literally hug him.
- At one point on Peach's Birthday Cake, NCS describes his time at the convention with the other Guys as "These have been, like, the best three days of my life. I'm not even kidding."
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Throughout the series — mainly after the first world or two — Jon is constantly trying to kill Chugga. That's not the heartwarming part. The reason behind this is because Chugga ended up nearly giving him a black eye with a pillow (it was one of those cylindrical pillows stuffed with hard foam, so it hurts a lot) and he's just venting anger. He brought this up in an interview, and stated Chugga's actually a really great guy, and now that he's gotten over the incident he's ready to move on. In the interview he also says Tim is one of the nicest people he's ever met and that he'd really like for Josh to come back and guest star in another LP later on. It does make up a bit for the massive trolling he's been doing lately.
- Maybe even gets more heartwarming when Jon says Josh is like a younger brother to him.
- During the end cutscene, the Guys' commentary as if they're actually the characters onscreen (Chugga is Mario, NCS is Luigi, etc.) is a bit heartwarming. Knowing them, they'd normally have some satirical and sarcastic jabs at the scene. (Except maybe for Tim.)
- In Episode 7 of NSMB Wii, the guys go to collect the third Star Coin in World 4-3. After they enter the room where it's located and see that the Coin is encircled by many other coins in the shape of a heart, the guys give a collective "Aaaaawwww..."
- In Episode 9, Jon and Chugga agree they should probably let Josh and Tim get more lives. Probably. They do end up giving them the first shots in the 1UP minigames from then on.
- In Episode 14, they finally beat level 7-6 by carrying each other around. It's kinda cute, especially when, after screwing everyone over on the previous level play-through, Jon casually carries NCS across an obstacle or two and tells him not to worry.
- He does the same thing for Josh in Episode 15 in 8-7, when Josh is freaking out about the bone dragon coasters.
- Josh: Thank you Jon, you're such a good friend!Jon: I'm always there for you!
- In the same vein, Jon chastises Chugga for being careless/causing his teammates' deaths (NCS and Josh's, anyway) some time into episode 14 (part 2).
- There's this fine example of retribution (not five seconds after the above) to take into consideration:
Chugga: [After Jon has killed him] You suck!Jon: You almost killed Tim.
- This one does count as Hypocritical Heartwarming though, considering Jon has been killing everyone like crazy.
- After Mario ditches Luigi, the Toads pick him up in their balloon, and Jon says "Come on Tim. I'll drive.'
- During the ending scene, they never brought up the Mario Party version of Peach, despite the horrible memories. Even though you know at least Jon or Chugga wanted to yell "DITCH THE PRINCESS!".
- NCS's line of "ladies first" for Peach when he gets out of the balloon is probably one of the best.
- The end of the final episode where they all talk about how much fun they had doing this LP. (Even though Jon is depressed because he didn't force Chugga to use a continue.)
Subspace Emissary
- In Episode 4, when Link and Yoshi first appear, Chugga and Jon are the ones playing, meaning Tim isn't able to be the first one to play as Yoshi. When Chugga mentions this, Jon kindly sacrifices his turn and gives the controller to Tim so he can play.
Tim: Yoshi's so happy!
- Somewhat heartwarming was a few seconds later, Chugga remarks how "nobody can hurt Tim when he's so happy". Tim then receives damage almost instantly. Chugga's response to this, though likely supposed to be funny, is actually pretty heartwarming too:
Chugga: How dare you hurt him when he's so happy! I will decimate you for that! *kills enemy*
- Episode 6 opens with a painful-sounding thumping as Chugga takes a tumble. The other two immediately check on him and are obviously worried, even as he decides to Throw It In.
- In episode 13, Chugga is confused about the "Canadian flowers" and making fun of them. Turns out the flowers he's referring to are poppies, and when he learns about the whole "Remembrance Day" reason behind them, he outright states that he feels bad for mocking them.
- In the final (story) episode, during the end cutscene, Chugga and Tim force Jon into a hug. (Jon is less than pleased.)
- From the final (story) episode, Chugga and Tim fight the final boss. After getting a Game Over, Tim decides to let Jon have a go at the fight, saying they should continuing rotating. This allowed all three to get a chance at the final fight, with the added bonus of Chugga and Jon working together to finish off the last enemy in the game. It also allowed all three of them to end up with the same turn count, both total and for the episode.
- And when you think about it, this also means in a way that all three of them helped defeat Tabuu; Chugga and Jon were fighting, but the final kill was gotten by Yoshi - a character Tim picked and mains. Even when not playing, he lent them his power.
Mario Party 2
- Chugga states during Space Land that he actually wants Tim to win.
- On the same board, Jon cuts NCS a break during a minigame and NCS notices. It's a small moment, but sweet... until Chugga asks Jon why he's never that nice to him. Then it goes straight back to being funny.
- Bowser Land. First turn, NCS gets a hidden block with a star in it. Chugga delivers this line:
Chugga: I think the game just realized that Tim's not playing bad, he deserves to win something.
- Near the end of Bowser Land, Jon is debating on whether to steal a star from NCS or Chugganote After teasing the two, and the viewers, on his decision, he's about to go for Tim... but changes at the last minute and steals Chugga's star.
- However, this may have been part of his plan, as in the end he ended up winning the board because he stole that star; if he stole from Tim, Chugga would have won due to getting enough Bonus Stars and having more coins than Jon.
- Jon was glad he won the project, no shocker, but since he stated that he grew up with it, you just had to smile a bit during that statement.
- Mixed with CMoF, Chugga being happy to fail so many times in mini-game roller coaster with Wario just to send "D'oh, I missed!" off with a bang, since it doesn't appear in Mario Party 3.
- During the Minigame Coaster, the guys frequently help each other out, such as Chugga and Tim helping Jon remember the button patterns in Move to the Music.
- Chugga gives Jon a bit of encouragement during the Shell Shocked minigame.
- He wins the minigame without taking damage, after all 3 guys had lost on their respective attempts.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
- At the start of episode 7, Chugga starts out lamenting that this is the last night they have together; he then gives Tim a White Yoshi to help him further his collection and gives Jon a poison mushroom that actually looks like a poison mushroom this time (the last one was apparently a mini shroom, and Chugga just lied to the internet about being a poison one). He ends it off by letting Tim do the intro.
- In episode 9, Jon brought up the fact that, because he tends to dislike people bringing up the old memes that people think he's actually a jerk who overreacts to such instances, bringing up that in these cases he's actually laughing about it and isn't as annoyed by it as the LPs tend to let on.
- The Guys help each other out on the challenge rooms. They even cheer on the person currently playing as Kirby and Emile gives Tim a good luck hug before his Sword run. He also attempts to pat Jon on the back after apologizing for making fun of his Wing run, but it looks like he's hugging Tim again from Jon's point of view.
Wii Sports
- Jon and Chugga talk about how they get mad at each other when they do well, but can't help but cheer NCS on when he does well.
Fortune Street
- On the Yoshi's Island board, Chugga putting everything he had into supporting Tim at the end, even when Jon looked like he was going to win. This includes giving all of his money to Tim and actively avoiding Jon's properties. Tim wins.
- On the Slimenia board, Chugga asks Tim if the fact that Yoshi is a green dinosaur means he's a Slimefoot, one of the creatures from the stories Tim wrote with his sister when they were younger, and which he references from time to time in his videos (especially in Pokemon Sapphire). Tim has a little mini-Squee, tellimg Chugga that "You have no idea how happy it makes me whenever other people use the word 'Slimefoot' or 'Waterhands...'"
- Chuggaa helping Masaeanela out in Mt. Magmageddon. She lost by a hair thanks to a warp space, but still.
Wii Party
- It's oddly sweet to see that Emile made a Mii version of his mom, whom he points out every time he sees her.
- The comments on this Let's Play so far have been pretty vicious, with people insulting Tim's playing ability and being disgusting towards Lucahjin due to her gender. The Guys' comments to some of these have been heartwarming as they stick up for each other and put the trolls in their place.
- Chugga gave even more presents to the friends on the Runaway Guys. Tim got a Pink Yoshi, Jon got a "Batman for President" t-shirt, and Lucahjin was given a Barbie and Mah Baaaalls.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- After jokingly acting like a Jerk Ass during his race, Slowbeef is heard congratulating ShadowMarioXLI and MadameWario for winning as the two mention how great it was to finally meet him.
Castle Crashers
- Emile pays Jon twenty Canadian dollars for buying the DLC, even though it only cost three dollars.
Mario Party 3
- At the end of Deep Bloober(sp) Sea, Jon and Chuggaa get into a brief, but genuinely heated disagreement due to Chuggaa speeding through the instructions of a minigame Jon's never played before, but they both cool down and apologize.
- After the last episode of Deep Bloober Sea, many of the viewers complained that Chugga skipped the text during the last minigame and that Tim didn't deserve to win. Chugga later made a tweet where he admitted that he wasn't the best in the terms of commentary or how he played in that board, but that it's not a reason to act like Tim didn't deserve his victory.
Chugga: I think Tim was playing well and if people think he won due to luck, that's just how Mario Party goes sometimes. Personally, Tim is my good friend and I'm happy to see him win a board. In my opinion, Jon and myself weren't at our best in terms of commentary. I think if anyone had good moments in this board, it was Tim and it was especially fitting for him to win.
- Tim sounds quite upset in Spiny Desert when he accidentally made Jon give his stars to Peach via Chance Time. Especially since Jon has been as unlucky in this LP as Tim was in the first two.
- On the second to last turn in Creepy Cavern, Tim tries to help Jon get the last star by using one of his Reverse Mushrooms on him, not that it works since Jon wasn't close enough to the star and Chugga used a Poison Mushroom on the last turn to prevent Jon from getting that far. Still, it was nice of Tim.
- Though of course he had the ulterior motive that if Jon won, Tim would win the LP by default because Chugga couldn't match his number of board wins...
- In part 1 of Waluigi's Island, Chugga mentions that despite his constant rivalry with Jon, he does consider Jon to be the best overall gamer of the three of them.
- Once all the boards have been played, the statistics show that Chugga is the winner, but Chugga decides to declare Tim the overall winner due to having the most board victories.
New Super Luigi U
- Tim is Player 1 this time around. It's likely Chugga let him be Player 1.
- Even more heartwarming is the fact that Chugga has fought to be Player 1 in other projects, so for him to kindly let Tim be Player 1, is really sweet.
- In Part 11, the guys, by total accident, stumble on a Miiverse post that says "Hi Protonjon, NintendoCapriSun and Chuggaconroy."
- Chugga and NCS discussing Jon's anger with him in the last video, and the gift exchange afterwards.
Mario Party 4
- When Jon lands on a battle game space in the last episode of Toad's Midway Madness, his choices are Trace Race or Bowser's Bigger Blast, a reskin of Bowser's Big Blast from Mario Party 2. Chugga and NCS beg Jon not to choose the latter and he doesn't and the others thank him. It is diluted by the fact that Jon himself didn't want to play Bowser's Bigger Blast either.
- Do you need just one onscreen moment of Jon and Emile proving their rivalry is just for videos and they're actually great friends? See their dialogue in part 3 of Koopa's Seaside Soirée upon realizing they're paired up for Revers-a-Bomb:
Emile: Jon and I are together!Jon: (laughing) Oh, dude, we are going to wreck house!(sound of a high-five)
- There are actually several moments throughout this LP where Jon shows enjoyment in being on Emile's team in the 2v2 minigames due to Emile being good at the game, particularly Dungeon Duos, where they refer to themselves as "the dream team".
Rayman Origins
- In the comments, a user asked why Tim kept dying over and over again, and how it felt like he wasn't even trying. Tim would respond to the post by explaining obtrusive sleep apnea, explaining that at times he would blank out and have "mini-dreams" for as long as 10 seconds at a time before snapping back to reality. Not only did he confirm that the other Guys sat down and actually talked with him about how he should go to a doctor while voicing their concerns, but several other comments have suddenly changed their views on Tim, instead pleading he get help and hoping he's alright. It just shows that not only do the Guys care about each other as friends, the community also cares about them.
Tim: Needless to say, the Guys did notice at a point, and we sat down and had a long talk about it, and they have urged me to go to a doctor about it.
LittleBigPlanet 2
- In Episode 15, Chugga reveals that he was originally planning to LP the game alone on his channel, but decided it would better to play through the game with his friends. Even better, what provoked Chugga to say this was the awestruck reaction from the other three to the beautiful level they were currently experiencing for the first time.
- Chuggaa helping ProtonJon, NCS, and Lucahjin out as he played the game before. This came in handy in the penultimate episode, where Lucah was the only player standing and was about to beat the Negativitron's second phase but died right at the end.
- Tim's speech in the finale about the atmosphere in the room when they were playing, and how he hopes it comes through in the LP, using the analogy of hearing about how and where a band recorded an album.

Wangjing Pavilion
Last updated by chinatravel at 2014/11/2
The pavilion was built by the Emperor Lujianwang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573—1620). It is 25 meters high, 35 meters long from the east to the west, and 19 meters wide from the south to the north. It is a brick building with no girders or rafters, and the inside wall is constructed by white stones. There is a stone door on each hill of the pavilion for people to climb upwards or downwards. There are cross arches on the first floor with doors on the four sides, you can directly reach the top of the pavilion from the east and west sides and have a overlook of the whole city.
Originally there was a large hall on top of the building, which was named "Chongben Book Pavilion", and it had functioned as the Emperor Lujianwang and his son's study and drawing studio. Now the pavilion has been destroyed, only leaving behind a "Ruyi Fang". This Ruyi Fang is divided into three rooms by four pillars, with a kind of four sloped roof. The stelae were engraved with designs of "Two dragons playing with the pearl", pavilions and terraces, "the elders congratulating on somebody's birthday", and lotus flowers, etc., which enjoys highly excellent techniques. The horizontal stele of the stone archway was engraved with three characters "Chengyi Fang", and there are couplets engraved on the pillars. At the foot of the pillars, there stand drum-shaped bearing stones, on which there are squatting lions and flower designs, it is really a sample artistic work of the Ming Dynasty with its beautiful and elegant design and fine engraving work.

Common Name(s):
Synonym(s): |
Nyctinomus bemmeleni Jentink, 1879
Tadarida bemmeleni (Jentink, 1879)
Taxonomic Notes: | This may be a complex of two distinct species, one in the east of the range and one in the west. Further taxonomic studies are needed to resolve this. |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 | |||
Year Published: | 2008 | |||
Date Assessed: | 2008-06-30 | |||
Assessor(s): | Mickleburgh, S., Hutson, A.M., Bergmans, W., Cotterill, F.P.D. & Fahr, J. | |||
Reviewer(s): | Hutson, A.M., Racey, P.A. (Chiroptera Red List Authority) & Cox, N. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) | |||
Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, it occurs in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. |
History: |
Range Description: | This African species is widely distributed from Sierra Leone in the west, then patchily through West and Central Africa to southern Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in the east. It has been recorded up to 1,700 m asl on Mount Nimba along the border of Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea (J. Fahr pers. comm. 2004). |
Countries: | Native: Cameroon; Congo, The Democratic Republic of the; Côte d'Ivoire; Guinea; Kenya; Liberia; Rwanda; Sierra Leone; South Sudan; Tanzania, United Republic of; Uganda |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: |
The abundance of this species is unclear, in parts of the range it seems to be a rare species that is found in small colonies consisting of a few individuals. In East African this species exhibits a clumped distribution, yet is relatively abundant locally (Weballa et al. 2004). |
Population Trend: | Unknown |
Habitat and Ecology: | In the west of its range it is associated with montane tropical moist forest. The eastern populations are generally found in savanna and grassland savanna, Acacia, Combretum and Acacia–Commiphora communities. Roost in rocks, rock caves and fissures (Freeman 1981). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | The species is threatened by habitat loss, largely through logging activities and the conversion of land to agricultural use. |
Conservation Actions: | It is present in Meru National Park, Kenya, and is presumably present in several more protected areas. Further studies are needed into the taxonomy, natural history, threats and distribution of this species. |

A group linked to al-Qaida botched an attempt to fire a rocket into Israel from Lebanon.
A Katyusha launched from southern Lebanon fell short Monday, wounding a woman in the village of Hula, just over the border from Israel, according to Israel's Army Radio, which cited Lebanese security officials.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a terrorist group named after a Palestinian who helped found al-Qaida, took responsibility.
A rocket salvo from Lebanon struck northern Israel late last month, causing no casualties but shaking confidence in the frontier's quiet holding. Last week, a bomb wounded French troops in a U.N. peacekeeper force in southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops and Hezbollah guerrillas fought a war in 2006.
Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon said in a Jerusalem briefing that the spate of violence "serves Syrian interests"—a suggestion that Damascus, which has been beset by months of civil war and citizen revolts, sought to distract world attention.

The Unseen Holocaust
Since the Roe v. Wade decision 40 years ago, there have been approximately 55,772,015 abortions in the United States. This is to say nothing of the untold number of babies killed by abortifacient contraceptives and "morning after" chemical abortions like RU-486 and "Plan B." That translates to roughly 1.5 million abortions per year; over 3,300 per day; 137 per hour, every hour.
Total number of people killed in World War II: estimates range from 50 million to 70 million.
Total number of people killed in World War I: 37 million.
Total number of people killed by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia: 1.5 million.
Total number of people killed by Stalin: estimates range as high as 60 million.
Total number of people killed in Mao's Cultural Revolution in China: estimates range as high as 20 million.
Total number of soldiers killed in the American Civil War, both Union and Confederate: 625,000.
Number of people who have died of AIDS (as of 2009): 30 million.
Think of it. Since Roe v. Wade, we have had, in our abortion mills, the equivalent of one Second World War. One and a half First World Wars. 37 Cambodian genocides. Almost one Stalin regime. 2.7 Cultural Revolutions. 89 Civil Wars. 1.85 AIDS epidemics. The only distinguishing feature is that the victims are nameless, utterly defenseless, and have never seen the light of day.
As long as we continue unrepentant in this course, we have no right to expect blessings on this country, and every reason to expect nothing but disaster.

Out of sight equals out of mind. The startling conclusion I have come to is that, in the end, people know they're babies. Not masses of tissue, babies. But as one young man said to me "Okay, it's a baby- so what? If my girlfriend needs an abortion, she needs an abortion." Their personhood isn't under attack so much as the overall value of all human life is under attack. Once you can convince people that human life is valueless unless you want it to have value, that's when holocausts and war crimes flourish. I am quite certain that in their hearts the Nazi officers knew that the Jews were "people" - they merely chose not to assign any value to that word.

Here's everything you want/need to know about stuffing tongues.
Tools required:
Step 1: Prepare kicks. Unlace them completely. Clean them up so you have a fresh kick to work with.
Step 2: This step will be done in reverse later, so remember how the lace stay was attached.
Unstitch the lace stay, starting from the tongue underside. Remove all loose threads that remain on the underside or overside. Set the lace stay aside.
Step 3: Unstitch the rows that hold the NIKE tag in place (if they exist). If the tongue is mesh, be very careful to only cut stitch threads and not tongue threads. Set the NIKE tag aside.
Step 4: With the exacto knife or thread ripper, cut a 1 inch hole along the line left by the upper stitch row. By cutting a hole in this location, after sewing the tag back on, this hole (sewn up) will be out of sight.
You'll notice that with the tag lying over the tongue that the hole is not seen.
Step 5: Starting with the hole, begin to peel the inner layers of the tongue apart. There should be two layers with minimal glue holding them together. Just push down with your fingers making sure to fully separate the layers, including all the corners.
Step 6: Take the stuffing material, and stuff that tongue. For now, this is just for proper fitting.
Step 7: Remove the stuffing, and begin to reattach the lace stays and tag. The lace stay can be a hassle to sew back on. If you don't care, feel free to skip the next step.
Step 8: Reattaching the lace stay. Recalling how the lace stay was originally attached, sew the lace stay back to the overside of the tongue ONLY. (If you can't recall how it was removed, sew the upper lace stay section first, then the bottom section). Do not sew through the underside of the tongue.
Step 9: Reattaching the NIKE tag. To begin, you must sew the tag on the overside of the tongue. Again, do not sew through the underside of the tongue.
Step 10: Stuff that tongue with the stuffing material set aside from earlier.
Step 11: Sew that hole up. Do not sew into the overside of the tongue. Be careful to make a smooth seam or a ridge will rub against your ankle/foot when you walk. That could be annoying.
Step 12: Now flip the tag over to the underside and sew that guy down. This seam will be visible to yourself and others if you are showing your handiwork off, so make sure to do this one real well.
Step 13: Stand back and realize you have finished one shoe. Then go back to Step 1 on the other shoe.
Comparisons and the Finished Product:

Does a Duii affect me?
I am starting my schooling and it should be about 2 years before I am going to start applying. Woman I am dating, her uncle is a chief and said it's not the biggest deal. So by that time it will be behind me about 4 years. I was wondering if that is something that will prevent me from landing a good job.

Contact: Kathy Johnson
(l-r) President Lee T. Todd Jr, Aumaine Mott and Jan Isenhour
Isenhour is credited with helping keep the Kentucky Women Writers Conference alive when its funding was eliminated by the University of Kentucky in 1998. Funding for the conference was restored in the 2001-2002 school year, and the conference returned to UK. In the interim period, the conference was based at the Carnegie Center.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 30, 2004) -- The Kentucky Women Writers Conference announced its sponsorship of a new student award at the University of Kentucky. The Isenhour Award for excellence by a woman in undergraduate research in the humanities has been named for Jan Isenhour, director of Lexington's Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning.
The first Isenhour Award was presented to Aumaine Mott, a senior Russian and East European Studies major from Orville, Ohio, at the conference kickoff March 25. Mott was honored for her project that gives voice to a Muslim woman, formerly a refugee of Bosnia Herzegovina, through her own memories and those of the American woman who became her best friend. By combining interviews, journal entries and secondary materials, the project explores the similarities and differences between the perspectives of the two women, resulting in an intimate account of the Muslim woman's experiences through childhood, war, immigration and starting over as a refugee.
Mott and future Isenhour Award winners receive a monetary award, present their research at the annual Kentucky Women Writers Conference, and have it published in UK's undergraduate scholarly journal Kaleidoscope.

On This Date, May 28, in 1887: Wa-Tho-Huk Is Born
One hundred and twenty-six years ago today, Jim Thorpe, whose Indian name was Wa-Tho-Huk ("Bright Path"), was born in Indian Territory. The Sac & Fox Indian would go on to become the "World's Greatest Athlete," and he is still today the best known American Indian athlete.
And he's still in the news headlines, as two of his sons pursue a lawsuit to have his remains moved from Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, to Indian lands in Oklahoma.
Of course his name is still attached to athletic events, his prowess as an athlete unquestioned. There's the Sixth Annual Jim Thorpe Native American 5K Championships on June 29 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as the upcoming Jim Thorpe Native American Games June 9-15 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
But today, we remember and celebrate Jim Thorpe the man, who was born 126 years ago. For a collection of videos and other tributes to Wa-Tho-Huk, click here.

Exactly what the title says. I barricaded myself in the small room, let them all stack up on the door, opened it and started shooting. I didn't capture the whole thing, only 30 seconds. But it was epic. there was a lot more that you don't see in this clip

It's official: Coloradans will have the chance to head to the polls on September 10 to either re-elect or oust two Democratic lawmakers who played an influential role in helping pass tough new gun-control laws back in March—exactly eight months after the mass shooting in Aurora. Via CNN:
With the help of the powerful National Rifle Association, organizers submitted petitions last month with enough signatures to start the recall process. Earlier Thursday, a Denver district court judge ruled that the petitions met all legal requirements, clearing the way for Hickenlooper to set the elections.
"This is a positive development," NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said in a statement to CNN. "We look forward to working with voters in these legislative districts in Colorado who initiated this effort."
Those leading the effort had to collect enough signatures to equal 25% of the votes cast in the previous election in each district.
Enough signatures were gathered for Senate President John Morse of District 11 and state Sen. Angela Giron of District 3—organizers failed to gather enough signatures for the other two Democratic lawmakers that were targeted.
Giron and Morse tried to block or slow the recall by arguing that the petitions were invalid. A judge ruled on Thursday that the paperwork was lawful, however, and shouldn't be thrown out on "hyper-technical grounds," according to Fox News.
The recall effort marks the first in the state's history.

2011 Honda Accord Crosstour Hatchback EX 4dr Hatchback (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Just traded in my 2009 Accord EX-L for a 2011 Crosstour EX.
The way the used car market for used Hondas, we were able to get out of our 3 year lease a year early with no problem.
We traded for a simple reason.
With 2 sedans (our other car is a Civic SI) we had limited ability to carry things like a new TV or grill.
We needed something with greater utility, but did not want an SUV.
This car is perfect!
It is smoother and quieter than the Accord sedan, but drives just as well.
Similar gas mileage.
It sits just a bit higher, which my wife particularly likes.
This is a great car.
I would recommend it highly!

2011 Honda Accord Crosstour Hatchback EX 4dr Hatchback (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I was considering Accord, Lexus RX, or BMW 3 series. I painstakingly checked reviews on all these cars, still not thinking of the Crosstour because I planned to buy a used car as I've always done. Then I realized I could afford a new CT, and from the test drive I loved it! Not to mention it was the best reviewed of all the cars I checked. It is so quiet I almost forget I'm driving it, but if I want to accelerate and feel the power it's there. Perfect cabin size IMO- we have three small dogs, go on regular roadtrips, and carry around photo gear.
This car couldn't be better for our lifestyle. Stylish, comfortable, practical to own, and just plain cool. Great value and feels luxurious!

Born: April 6, 1953
Birthplace: Brandon, MB, CAN
Player bios courtesy of the Hockey Hall of Fame
Gord Lane's career in pro hockey can be evenly divided between the bad and the good. The bad part was so negative in fact that even he couldn't foresee just how great things would be farther down the rink of life.
He started off just fine as an amateur with the Brandon Wheat Kings and the New Westminster Bruins. It was easy for the scouts to see that in Lane they would be getting a stay-at-home, stay-in-your face defender who could play a very bellicose brand of hockey.
The Pittsburgh Penguins picked him in the 1973 Entry Draft, but he never caught on with the club. Instead, he became a minor-league brawler in the IHL with the Fort Wayne Comets and the Dayton Gems. The former club released him because, by his own admission, he could fight but do little else on the ice. The local fans even maintained a "We Hate Gordie Lane" fan club.
But Lane was also a fighter from within. He refused to give up on his wish to play in the NHL. In 1976, he signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals. In between a few minor-league outings, he managed to gain a toehold in the league over the three seasons that followed.
Then, in 1979, he left the Caps during a contract dispute and returned home to Brandon to consider new career options. While there, the phone rang with the Islanders' GM Bill Torrey on the line. The up-and-coming Isles were in need of a tough, ornery defender whose profile fit Lane's to a tee. Needless to say, he jumped at the offer, heading to Long Island near the end of the year.
The transition from the Caps to the Islanders meant a complete rebirth of Lane's career in hockey. He was paired with Dave Langevin and as a duo the two played solid, kitty-bar-the-door defense that laid the necessary foundation to help lead the club to four-straight Stanley Cup victories. Lane has been credited as being the team's most effective defender during that era.
He lasted with the Islanders for two additional seasons after the glory dust had settled. He retired in 1985 to take up a post as head coach of the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. The gig didn't work out well, however, so he made a single-season comeback with the Springfield Indians of the AHL and then hung up his blades for good to coach the club in 1987-88.

Indian Head Park Village Police & Street Increases, 2 (March 2012)
Two Indian Head Park Village Police & Street Increase measure was on the March 20, 2012 ballot in the village of Indian Head Park which is in Cook County.
Both measures were defeated
The first measure sought to increase the current police property tax in the village by a rate of .137 percent in order to pay for police protection services in the village.
The second measure sought to increase the current street property tax by a rate of .055 percent in order to further pay for street and bridge projects in the village.[1]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
Police measure: Shall the Village of Indian Head Park, Cook County, Illinois, be authorized to levy a new tax for police protection purposes and have an additional tax of 0.137% of the equalized assessed value of taxable property therein extended for such purposes? 1) The approximate amount of taxes extendable at the most recently extended limiting rate is $847,360 and the approximate amount of taxes extendable if the proposition is approved is $1,097,360. 2) For the 2012 levy year the approximate amount of the additional tax extendable against property containing a single family residence and having a fair market value at the time of the referendum of $100,000 is estimated to be $45.10.[3] |

George Will on Tax Day: Americans 'should feel ashamed,' not sorry for themselves (VIDEO)
I can't argue with Will on this. We should be ashamed of ourselves. We have allowed profligate spending. We borrow to pay our current bills. We elect people who year after year expand government and who pass laws which reduce our liberty and fundamentally our very humanity. It is we who have allowed this to happen.
How much is Obamacare REALLY going to raise your premiums? (in most states, quite a lot) Part 2: The raw study by the Society of Actuaries
It is interesting to me how wedded some people are to the idea that Obamacare is not a crony capitalist disaster. I understand why. It is the president's signature piece of legislation. It has long been the dream of many in this country to implement nationalized healthcare. To acknowledge that what at first appeared to be an important political victory is likely anything but, is a hard pill to swallow.
If Obamacare fails it also means that Obama fails historically, and that is also very difficult.
