A Chrsitmas Wish You Will Never Forget … Brenda Schmitz, Wife & Mother of 4 Boys Died of Ovarian Cancer at Age 46 in September 2011 Left a Letter for Her Family
If you can make it thru the below VIDEO without shedding a tear, you may want to check to see if you have a pulse … A Christmas Wish You Will Never Forget.
Brenda Schmitz's Christmas Wish: One month before Brenda Schmitz died from ovarian cancer she wrote a letter to her family and gave to her friend to be made public at the right moment. For more than 20 years, KSTZ – 102.5 FM has been granting Christmas wishes, none as moving and touching as this.
Brenda Schmitz, a wife and mother of four boys, died of ovarian cancer at 46-years-old in September 2011 — but what she left behind is undoubtedly generating tears around the world today.
One month before passing, Brenda wrote a letter to her husband David and had it sent to Des Moines radio station KSTZ "Star" 102.5 FM. Each year the station takes submissions and grants Christmas wishes.
"About a week and half ago we got a letter in the mail," radio host Scott Allen explained. "We've been doing the Christmas wish program for 20-plus years. We've never received a wish like this — ever."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2013 From Scared Monkeys … Thank You To All
A special Happy Thanksgiving wish from Scared Monkeys …
As you spend time today with family, friends and loved ones while feasting on turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry and maybe watching some football, please take the time to remember what you are thankful for and give thanks. We all have something to be thankful for, sometimes we just all too soon forget. As President Ronald Reagan said on Thanksgiving Day 1986, "Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day. Rooted deeply in our Judeo-Christian heritage, the practice of offering thanksgiving underscores our unshakable belief in God as the foundation of our Nation and our firm reliance upon Him from Whom all blessings flow."
Let us truly be thankful …
I would be remiss if I did not say thanks to the many readers of Scared Monkeys both on the front page and in the forum who make it a joyous adventure. We do not all have to agree, that would make life pretty boring. But we do have to find a way to agree to make America work. I am so thankful to the moderators, past & present, in the Monkey cage at Scared Monkeys.net, San, CBB, Bearlyhere and Nut44x4, who volunteer their time who keep the peace and add their incite to so many stories going on in the news. And MuffyBee, who although is no longer a mod, adds much content and comments to the conversation. Thank you to Blink, at Blink on Crime who does such excellent and tireless work and crime sleuthing. I don't say it enough Blink, but thanks for all you do and giving me a smack upside the head every so often. A special shout out and thanks to Dana Pretzer of the 'Dana Pretzer Radio Show' who brings us some of they best crime guests, and pundits in the game today and provides us with fantastic interview of crime and missing persons cases that is second to none! Even the 'Elvis' cup . And a special thanks to Klaas, the oil that makes the engine work. Her hard work and caring of crime and missing persons cases is only outdone by here work behind the scenes. You are a treasure, thank you. THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
As I have always said, we don't always have to agree, life would be rather boring if we all thought the same. Debate and sharing of ideas is a good thing, but we must try to be respectful. However, what I have always found amazing is that so many people could come together, with different backgrounds, different thoughts, different ideas and work together toward a common goal on crime stories and missing persons. So many monkeys who truly care. Have there been disagreements, you bet. Do we discuss things that create passions, you bet. But in the end, we can respect each other and know that we fight for a common cause to be victim rights advocates and demand JUSTICE!!!
A Happy Thanksgiving to All and God Bless!
President Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation to the United States in 1863:
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful years and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the Source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the field of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than theretofore. Population has steadily increased notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverance's and blessings they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Abraham Lincoln

America Remembers John F. Kennedy 50 Years Later after that Fateful Day … "Anybody here seen my old friend John?"
November 22, 1963 … the day that shook America in Dallas, TX.
For those that were alive on that fateful day, yesterday most Americans remembered where they were the day that President John F. Kennedy was shot and assassinated while traveling in his presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas. It was the day that shocked America, the world and forever changed the United States with innocence lost. In a time in which few can even conceive or remember when there were three news channels, no-24-7 news, no internet, no social media, no Twitter … the nation was rocked with the unthinkable, the death of a president as all watched in horror.
At 12:29 pm CST, as President Kennedy's uncovered limousine entered Dealey Plaza, Nellie Connally, then the First Lady of Texas, turned around to President Kennedy, who was sitting behind her, and commented, "Mr. President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you," which President Kennedy acknowledged. Then life changed, everything changed as we knew it. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 pm CST, Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. JFK was taken to Parkland Hospital, Trauma Room 1 where he was treated for his mortal wounds to his head.
At 1:00 p.m., CST President John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead. As one doctor was reported to say, "We never had any hope of saving his life." And sadly we were presented with another good man who died too young.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.
50 years later we remember President John F. Kennedy, a life taken far to soon and his vision for America that was cut short that Day in Dealey Plaza by an assassins bullet. We remember the man who is frozen in time because of the tragic nature in how he was killed and we can only wonder how things, so many things would have been different in America had he lived. Too many focus on the "conspiracy" theories of how JFK died or his affair with Marilyn Monroe, but there was so much more to a president who captured the imagine of the country. I was not alive the day JFK died, but being a history major I had read much of his life. I have attended the Kennedy Library and been to grave, the "Eternal Flame," at Arlington National Cemetery as well as grew up in New England so was surrounded by the lore of the Kennedy's most of my life. JFK was a unique man, an inspirational individual who knew how to communicate with people, bring them together and make people feel good about themselves. But he was much more than that, he was a leader, a man who had big goals as seen by is efforts to get the US into space and he was the one who asked us,"ask not what your country can do for you can do for your country" (VIDEO). Where are those leaders today?
'Abraham, Martin and John' - Dion
U.S. President John F. Kennedy was remembered as a transcendent leader of a rising nation at a ceremony in Dallas on Friday, the 50th anniversary of his assassination, while bitterness remained for many who disbelieve the official story of how he died.
"Our collective hearts were broken," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told a crowd of about 5,000 who came to a frigid Dealey Plaza, near where Kennedy was slain, for a commemoration marked with prayer, song and tears.
Remembered fondly for his youthful vigor and his glamorous wife, Kennedy remains one of Americans' favorite presidents for his handling of the Cuban missile crisis, his call to public service with programs such as the Peace Corps and a promise – later fulfilled – to land an American on the moon before the end of the 1960s.
"A new era dawned and another waned a half century ago when hope and hatred collided right here in Dallas," Rawlings said.
The assassination cut short "Camelot," as the 1,000 days of the Kennedy presidency became known. He was 46 when he died
This is how I remember John F. Kennedy, as a leader, a unifier and a man with a vision of big ideas and one's that made America better, not just a political party. Take a good listen to what a true leader sounds like. I hear an awful lot of "WE", not me or I. JFK wanted the United States to be a leader in the world, number one, not a follower. Where has my old friend John gone, it is true that the good so die young.
"The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join it or not. And it is one of the greatest adventures of all times. And no nation which expects to be the leaders of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space".
"We Choose to go to the moon, not because they are easy, because they are hard"

Lightening Strike Grounds BWI Flights For Hours, Injures Air Traffic Controller … Make that 11 Hours
Sorry for the lack of posts but guess who got caught in this debacle?
Lightening struck the tower BWI airport in Baltimore, MD causing complete chaos. Air traffic control systems went down and one air traffic controller was injured due to the strike. As for the passengers aboard planes and waiting in the air port, was an adventure. Yours truly was aboard a Southwest plane that arrived at 1 pm and then the fun began. First there was a torrential rain and thunder storms that stopped all flights from taking off as the wind felt like it was going to blow the 737 over. Then it got worse and the lightening rolled in as myself and about 40 other passengers waited in the metal canister with wings. Luckily there were two nuns sitting in the seats next to me.
Then after waiting 2 hours on the plane we learned the bad news of the tower being struck by lightening and a person being injured. It would take another hour at least to reboot the systems. Not even close. After waiting another hour we then learned in would take between 4 to 6 hours to fix and then the dreaded text message came that the flight had been canceled.
Talk about total chaos, thousands of passengers scurrying to find new flights, ways home, anything. Needless to say there was no guarantee that I could even get a new flight the following day and not really wanting to stay in Baltimore overnight, I opted to rent a car and drive the remaining 7 hours to my destination. Needless to say it has been quite the eventful last 24 hours. And to think that I did not travel on 9-11 because I did not want to have to deal with airport craziness. So much for that idea.
A lightning bolt strikes the air traffic control tower at BWI—injuring an employee and grounding planes for hours.
Now delays stretch across the country and into the night.
Meghan McCorkell has the latest on the delays.
That lightning strike hit the tower just before 2:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, and grounded flights for hours.
A lightning strike leaves a sea of passengers stranded.
"We're stuck in Baltimore," a passenger said.
"Hopefully we can get out of BWI safely tonight," said another traveler.
Now I just need to hunt down my luggage.

Thank You for Being a Friend and Sharing the Memories … Can You Make It Through Without Happy Crying?
With all the strife, pain, suffering and unrest in the world caused by people, some times we just need to take a step back and take a lesson from our animal friends. Seriously, when covering so many missing person and true crime stories with unpleasant outcomes as well as political ones that make you want to pull your hair out, some times one needs to take a look at some truly amazing heart rendering pics. Check out the video below, it is truly touching. It's true … Life isn't complete, unless you have a friend to share the memories.

On this special day we would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. As you are unwrapping presents, spending time with family, friends and loved ones, and experiencing the joy of this day, always keep in mind the true reason for the season and this joyous, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." We would like to send a special MERRY CHRISTMAS wish to all those who could not spend Christmas with their families, especially those who have lost loved ones. A special prayer goes out to the families of Newtown, CT who are going through such a difficult time this Christmas season. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing – Charlotte Church
Luke 2:10-16:
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

I'm so sorry to let you know mom passed this afternoon. She was up and alert this morning ready to start cancer treatment next week. Something with her heart gave out this morning and she went into cardiac arrest and was put on life support. We waited until all family was there to later take her off.
While I'm truly saddened to pass this news, I want to express our gratitude for your little community that she was so into and enjoyed being part of. Thank you also for all the well wishes along the way. She's at peace now after a rough few weeks.

Minnesota Vikings Punter Chris Kluwe Tweeted the Playing surface at TCF Bank Stadium is "As Hard as Concrete" and "Unplayable"
Remember when the Houston Astrodome was the only one? What a difference time makes. There was a time and place in my youth when the Minnesota Vikings could not wait to play outside and use the cold, snow and other elements to their advantage. Now, these pampered prima-donna players are afraid of a little cold and a playing surface that does not resemble their plush living room carpet.
If you were to listen to all the whining and belly-aching coming from those who are going to have to play in tonight's MNF game between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings, one would think that there was no such epic NFL game known as "The Ice Bowl". The game is supposed to be played outdoors at the University of Minnesota's stadium as the Metro-dome is still unable to host a game as it could not withstand last weeks brutal snow storm.
Enter Vikings punter Chris Kluwe who tweeted that the playing surface at TCF Bank Stadium is "as hard as concrete" and "unplayable". What! A punter is making a comment that the playing surface is unplayable? Are you serious, a punter has maybe 7 plays a game and will never touch the playing surface and he is mouthing off? Hey Chris Kluwe, STFU and grow a set. The surface is like concrete? Today's so-called football players would be aghast if they ever had to play at the old VET and the astro-turf that was there and a aprt of many stadiums in the 70′s and 80′s that was nothing more than fuzzy, green cement.
The playing surface at TCF Bank Stadium is "as hard as concrete" and "unplayable," Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe tweeted Sunday afternoon after a brief practice there.
Despite skepticism from both Vikings and Chicago Bears players last week, team and University of Minnesota officials have expressed confidence that the field would be in acceptable condition for Monday night's game — even after a mad scramble to clear 20-inch snow drifts from the field this week.
But after Sunday's practice, Kluwe issued a series of tweets that predicted the game would be a "trainwreck."
Kluwe: "The field is as hard as concrete an hour and a half after they took the tarp off, and anyone that hits their head is getting a concussion. … I find it interesting that the NFL can claim an emphasis on player safety, and then tell us the field is fine. It's beyond hypocritical. … I can only hope, however unlikely, that no one gets catastrophically injured at the trainwreck that's about to take place tomorrow night."
From 1975, remember when football was football … how I miss Brent, Phyllis George and Irv Cross
Just how soft has the NFL become and especially the Minnesota Vikings? Back when the Vikings acted like Vikings and were known as the "Purple People Eaters" they played outside at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN. Personally, the Vikings lost much of their personality when they became a dome team. Can anyone imagine the Bears, the Monsters of the Midway, ever playing inside?
Remember the Miracle at Metropolitan Stadium?
What is most ironic about all the whining regarding having to play outside at night in Minnesota is that at half time the Vikings will be honoring the 50 greatest Vikings. Folks like Fran Tarkenton, Carl Eller, Allan Page, Jim Marshall, Amad Rashad, Ron Yary, Ed White, Stu Voigt, Dave Osborn, Paul Krause, Fred Cox, Mick Tingelhoff, and coach Bud Grant among many others will be honored. These individuals gave the Vikes their reputation as tough nosed, turf eating, hard nosed folks. How incredible is it that on the very night they are honoring Viking greats, many who played in years of yore when men were men and the NFL was not a flag football league.
The Ice Bowl, what legends are made of …
A note to today's players … suck it up. If it were up to you people the "Ice Bowl"would never have been played between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers in 1967. If it were up to today's player, the 1981 AFC Championship game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals known as the "Freezer Bowl" would never have been played. The air temperature was ?9 °F, but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour ?37 °F .
Today's NFL players need to understand the history of football and the tough nosed players that once played the game. There was a time when a player would never wear a long sleeve shirt under their jersey. It would have been considered a lack of manhood to do so. My how times have changed and not for the better. Remember when players didn't complain, they just played the game?
How I miss the old NFL!
UPDATE I:According to ESPN reports, Vikes QB Brett Favre has been upgraded to questionable for tonight's game against the Chicago Bears. Honestly, I hope Brett has one last hoorah in him and can make this one last start in what should look like a throw back game from days of yesterday.

Jonathan Stephens, permanent secretary at the Culture, Media and Sport department, has today announced he is moving on, after a cross-Whitehall effort to shift him, I have learned.
Stephens, who James reported at the weekend was looking ripe for a move, announced his departure in an internal email to staff this afternoon. I understand he is moving to a behind-the-scenes role in another part of Whitehall. He was one of the last hangers-on from the Blair government, along with Sir Nicholas Macpherson at the Treasury, having worked at DCMS since 2006.
His departure means DCMS can appoint a permanent secretary who those involved in Whitehall reform hope will help shoulder the department's heavy burden more effectively.

Please supply the correct answer.
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the cause and outcome for Severe Chronic Neutropenia (SCN). The objective of the Registry is to collect information on the natural course of SCN and its response to treatment with the blood stimulating factor called granulocyte colony stimulating factor or G-CSF, transplantation of blood forming cells, and other therapies. The Registry also is studying the risk of development of osteoporosis (thin and brittle bones), enlargement of the spleen and other changes that may affect your health including the possibility of developing leukemia.
You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have been diagnosed with a form of Severe Chronic Neutropenia.
As a participant in the Registry, you will have regular medical checkups and tests (blood counts) as prescribed and directed by your physicians. For the Registry, you may be asked to maintain a calendar to record treatments you receive for neutropenia if you are ill or hospitalized. Maintenance of the calendar is voluntary.
To be in the Registry, you and your physician are required to release information regarding your medical history and medical tests to the Registry office at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. The Registry requests bone marrow slides that have been done as part of your regular care be sent with the registration information if your health changes significantly. As a participant in the Registry, your doctor will be asked to complete standard forms when you are enrolled and about once a year thereafter for as long as you remain in the Registry. This information will include:
Every year that you remain in the Registry, we will ask your physician about your current health status, blood counts, bone marrow tests (if done), and infections or serious illnesses.
If you agree to take part in this research study, there will not be a direct medical benefit for you. The information learned from this research study may benefit other patients with an immune disorder in the future.
If you are interested in participating in this study, you will meet with a study coordinator who will explain all of the details of the study. The study coordinator will review the consent form and will be sure that all questions are answered. The consent form describes all the procedures, risks, benefits and who to contact with questions or concerns. Study procedures will not begin until the consent has been signed by the patient (if over 18 years) or the parent/guardian of the patient.
A detailed list of possible risks will be provided to those patients interested in knowing more about the study.

"The Shambles" is a name we gave the garden about 22 years ago.
A little over 100 years ago the land around us in Montville changed from rainforest of special significance to the indigenous Gubbi Gubbi people during their "Bonyi Bonyi" festivals, to a source of timber and then cleared for dairying and agriculture, namely strawberries, pineapples, citrus fruit and other orchard crops.
About 30 years ago things started to change again and land cleared for agriculture and orchards started to grow trees and shrubs again for private residential gardens
For twenty three years we have built up an extensive plant collection around our century old farmhouse. We have a registered collection of "Heritage Roses" and perennial Salvias in a garden with thousands of plants in hundreds of genus from around the world.
For the last 15 years many visitors have trod our garden paths and enjoyed "Open Garden" visits, Book Launches and Bus trips.
We hope you enjoy reading this site and following our gardens story.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have welcomed over 20 members from their 2001 team at Safeco Field to honor the 10th anniversary of their record-setting run to the AL West crown.
The Mariners won 116 games in 2001, matching the 1906 Chicago Cubs for most wins in major league history.
General manager Pat Gillick, manager Lou Piniella, bench coach John McLaren and 18 players from the Mariners record-setting team returned to Safeco Field Saturday night for the celebration of the best team to ever play in Seattle.
The tight-knit team formed a special bond together in racing out to a 20-5 record in April and didn't look back.

Nightmare Banishing by lahannonpareilWatch

Who'd be better at scaring away nightmares than Nightmare Moon?
THEM THINGS ARE ADORABLE!!!11!!1!!11!@! no joke.
This is great!
Those black thinks look like changeling's.
For some odd reason I am thinking of Luna comforting some kind of shadow creature or "nightmares".
This is amazing and a bit dark.
However, I like your idea!
However, I like your idea!
I can see this picture two ways. The first Luna is sheltering them from their fears. The second Luna is pulling them into the nightmare.
Is she protecting the nightmares and telling them that she will find a home for them, or are those frightened foals that she is trying to comfort? I can't tell because of mixed signals from all the faces, but all in all, this is an intriguing piece. I like art that makes me think.
I like how she is shielding the others.

New London — The mayor and City Council president, who have been at odds for months, announced Wednesday a joint plan to trim just under $1.3 million from the budget that voters resoundingly rejected Tuesday
"The administration and the council have the same conception on how to move forward,'' said Council President Michael Passero, who met with Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Wednesday.
"We are going to cooperate and respect the will of the voters and proceed with a budget that is acceptable,'' Finizio said.
They agreed to adjust the budget to get to a 5 percent tax increase, which means reducing the $42.3 general government budget by nearly $1,265,000. The tax rate, which would have increased by 1.91 mills to support the $42.3 million budget, instead would go up by about 1 mill.
At Tuesday's referendum, voters rejected the budget, which required a 7.5 percent tax increase. The vote was 1,436 to 1,007. They also rejected a new tax rate of 27.22 mills, 1,470 to 963.
Passero, who also is chairman of the Finance Committee, has called for a Finance Committee meeting for 5 tonight to hear from the public.
"Our marching orders are to cut more,'' he said Wednesday. "We might not find it all on Thursday but we'll start."
The first item on the agenda, he said, is public comment. Finance Committee meetings also are scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.
During the joint announcement in City Hall Wednesday afternoon, Finizio said he intends to present a new budget to the council with a $280,000 reduction, an amount equal to what the city had set aside for the consolidation of the school and city finance departments. That merger will not take place this year.
Passero said another $500,000 may be saved when the city refinances its debt. The finance board will look throughout the budget for another $400,000 in savings. Finizio said department heads are combing their budgets and will have suggestions for savings.
Both men said they do not intend to cut services or lay off workers. But Finizio added that if the city runs into a deficit as the year progresses, further cuts may be needed.
"This is a cooperative process to reach a resolution,'' Finizio said. "The public wants to see the two branches of government working together and unified behind this budget."
Finizio and Passero have disagreed often as the city has settled into the new strong mayor form of government. On Tuesday, before ballots were tallied, Finizio said he had not with Passero since April. Passero refused to discuss when they last met.
The latest disagreement was over who would start the process of developing a new budget, if it were defeated. Finizio had said a new budget process would have to start with him and could take months to complete. Passero had said the council would start immediately on cutting the budget and did not need a new document from the mayor. The city attorney agreed with Finizio's interpretation of the City Charter.
But Wednesday, the heads of the city's two branches of government agreed to work together to get a new budget passed.
"We want to reach a resolution and do it quickly,'' Passero said.
Just under 19 percent of the city's 13,122 registered voters cast ballots on Tuesday. All three precincts, as well as the absentee ballots, defeated the budget.
Evelyn Louziotis, one of those who successfully rallied voters to reject the 2012-13 budget woke up satisfied Wednesday.
"What? It's a beautiful day. The sun's out. What do you want me to say? The people have spoken and we go from there,'' she said.
Louziotis is a member of Looking out for Taxpayers, the group that helped obtain the more than 600 signatures needed to force Tuesday's vote.
William Vogel, chairman of the Republican Town Committee, which also was instrumental in getting out the "no" vote, said Republicans, Democrats and independents were opposed to the budget.
"The mayor kept saying he had the votes,'' Vogel said. "But I think he learned something about New London. New London is the kind of place that is not going to accept a large tax increase."
Councilor Adam Sprecace, a member of the Finance Committee, initially voted for the budget but urged residents to vote no at the referendum because, he said, the administration had not provided all the information he needed to make an informed decision.
Late Monday night, Finizio released pages and pages of budget documents that Sprecace had requested. Sprecace acknowledged that he had seen most of the information at the beginning of the budget process but wanted updated documents.
Tuesday night, he said he found some places were the council had reduced line items but the updated figures were not reflected in the documents. For example, he said, the council reduced funding for the Water Street Parking Garage and Ocean Beach Park by about $100,000, but that was not reflected in the documents. He said it appears that several salaries for police officers who have left the department are also listed on the budget, which could be a savings.
"I'm happy they released all the information,'' Sprecace said. "I would have been happier if it was released sooner."

This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Wear your most presentable clothes. Possibly designer but nothing too boastful. look carefully at other people's outfits, not in search of flaws but things you can compliment and ask about. «Those shoes are lovely, where did you get them?», «Oh, I bought these in Milan, I was having a vacation there and.. » and just like that you've got company and a conversation going.
2Inform yourself about the world, be it sports or politics. You are bound to find someone who'd love to discuss one of those topics. When discussing politics bear in mind that you shouldn't ask directly their opinion about a party but rather about a measure, do that your personal ideals don't clash. Never discuss politics at the table.
3Always be polite and gracious. Read up on your manners and learn dinning etiquette if you haven't already. Try to act as if you've been spending time around people like these your whole life and know what to do with your napkin if you must get up mid-meal (leave it on your chair)
4Never discuss money directly. Rather discuss expensive things (but don't lie) like a lovely yacht you saw on TV or a dress you saw while window shopping and found very good looking. Never discuss the price of anything except when asked.

As the Okinawa campaign was drawing to a close in June 1945, President Truman asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide him with information and their judgment on several key issues regarding the achievement of final victory in the war with Japan. To plan for future military actions and to prepare for the upcoming summit conference with Soviet Premier Stalin and British Prime Minister Churchill, he requested their estimates of the time required to force a Japanese surrender and the costs in American casualties for both an invasion of Japan and the continuation of the bombings and blockade without an invasion. The president also wanted the Joint Chiefs to tell him "exactly what we want the Russians to do" to speed the end of the war. Truman made his primary concerns clear to the White House chief of staff, Admiral William D. Leahy. "It is his intention to make his decisions on the campaign with the purpose of economizing to the maximum extent possible in the loss of American lives," Leahy told the Joint Chiefs. "Economy in the use of time and in money cost is comparatively unimportant."1 On June 17, Truman confided to his diary that deciding between authorizing an invasion and relying solely on the bombing and blockade as the better means to bring the war to a conclusion was his "hardest decision to date."2
The Joint Chiefs presented their views to the president at a meeting at the White House on June 18. Those in attendance were Sec

text: Posted March 2, 2013 Our government is not run by ONE person. We do/did have a system of government. It is why we have elections. Just because one guy wants something(which is also a change from how he began), it does not mean he gets it if the voters, legislature, courts and all are not with him. Sorry to say, but lip service is all he can give, unless...... Yes, Obama is the only person who supports gay marriage. Guess what? I dont think civil rights should be subject to a vote by voters, legislators, or courts. Its embarrassing that we are still having this discussion, but I suppose we will just have to wait until some more stubborn old people die before we can get on the right side of history. Again- I'm not defending Obama on this one. He should be going through all possible channels to change these laws, but so far he is just suggesting things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An onboard video! That's all I want
This whole package is far too extreme for street use.It's intended for engine speeds higher than 8000 rpm.However, it could be "toned down" a bit, as a more streetable package, if desired. We can scale the head work to whatever rpm range is desired, and we have already done that for Kevin in Shetland with his Big Head Super Fireball, and our raised port GP head conversions for the India-made Bullet cylinder heads.It's all a matter of scaling the modifications to the application, and since this race bike is the most demanding of racing applications, it has a very exotic set of modifications, many of which would not be needed nor wanted on a street machine. Just too radical for street.
Sorry, that wont stop us from "wanting" it.What's the expression? If ten will kill me, gimme nine?

Now in its 18th year, the program celebrates the achievements of students who have excelled in the classroom served their communities, overcome adversity and inspired everyone around them.
LPB and the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge sponsor the program which was underwritten this year by Acadian Companies, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, CenturyLink, and the Credit Bureau of Baton Rouge Foundation.
The winners and their families will be honored on April 16 with a luncheon at the Governor's Mansion and a banquet at the Renaissance Hotel in Baton Rouge.
This year's Young Heroes are:
o Caroline Beard, 13, a seventh grade at Alexandria Country Day School
o Joshua Castille, 18, a senior at Sacred Heart of Ville Platte
o Kamryn "Kami" Chauncey, 14, a freshman at Benton High School
o Cody Crews, 16, a sophomore at CENLA Christian Academy in Pineville

o Elizabeth Kasongo, 18, a junior at St. Joseph's Academy in Baton Rouge
o Andrew Matthews, 17, a junior at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge
o Isaac McFarland, 16, a junior at Caddo Parish Magnet High School in Shreveport
A few weeks after she was born, Caroline Beard was diagnosed with cancer and a detached retina. When the cancer spread to her other eye, an experimental procedure saved her right eye but she lost her left eye. A skilled artist, the Christmas ornament she designed in 2005 was selected by Oprah Winfrey as one of 100 gifts for that year and her artwork is the top seller at St. Jude. She has also participated in numerous other fundraisers for St. Jude.
Joshua Castille has battled a long list of ailments since he was born including two different immune deficiencies, infections, jaundice, and anemia to name just some of his past and present health problems. He has hosted an Archery Shoot to help raise money for Dreams Come True. The second shoot will be held in May, 2014.
A cancer survivor, Kami Chauncey of Benton has dedicated her efforts to raising awareness of childhood cancer and St. Jude where she was treated. She and her classmates raised the money necessary to get the State of Louisiana to allow the St. Jude license plate to be sold as an official license plate in Louisiana to raise money for the charity. She and her family have also sponsored a Relay for Life team since 2007 and have collected thousands of aluminum can tabs as a fundraiser.
Cody Crews of Deville is an outstanding student at CENLA Christian Academy in Pineville who initiated the Send a Book On Safari program to help children in Africa learn English, read to children in daycares after school and joined his sister Cassidy in the Soles4Soles program to collect shoes for the less fortunate. . It was during relief efforts after Hurricane Rita in 2005 that he was attacked by a large dog that caused serious damage to his face, mouth and tongue that required a long recovery.
At the age of nine, Morgan Gautreau was diagnosed with the debilitating disease Spina Bifida. Suffering from constant back pain, she underwent major spinal surgeries in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and is facing another surgery in 2014. She also has had along bladder reconstruction surgery. Since the cause of Spina Bifida has not been determined, Morgan set up a program called Making a Difference With Morgan to raise money for research. The project ended up raising more than $18,000 for research.
St. Joseph Academy of Baton Rouge junior Elizabeth Kasongo and her family narrowly escaped from the Congo after they were marked by death during the genocide in the African country. Her grandfather was not so lucky as he and his wife were executed. Since she arrived in America Elizabeth has been very active in the pro-life movement and collects food and other items for the less forward in the Baton Rouge area. She is currently writing a book about her family's story.
Andrew Matthews is a junior at Catholic High in Baton Rouge was born three and a half months early and faced but 52 days later he was breathing on his own. He was in physical, occupational and speech therapy for his first 10 years and has faced a number of learning disabilities but overcame them. His difficulties haven't stopped him from volunteering a Vacation Bible School, serving as an athletic trainer and becoming a certified Louisiana State First Responder. As part of the EMS Explorer Program, he volunteered more than 400 hours in his first year and received Explorer Post 912 Service Award.
When Isaac McFarland of Keithville learned that one out of three children in the state don't receive the meals on a consistent basis, he decided to do something about it. His program Game Changers Let's Tackle Hunger set out to eliminate hunger in his community and other locations around the country. He received a national grant to get officials, celebrities, classmates, junior ranchers and other interested parties to donate more than a thousand decorated Tackle Boxes. These boxes were filled with non-perishable breakfast items and delivered to families around the area. Isaac also launched a city-wide food drive in the fall of 2013 that collected several tons of food.
