Hello, Love the plugin. I have a lightbox setup automatically for the images that are uploaded with this plugin. What about adding a setting to be more bandwidth friendly?
I've modified the plugin on line 265 in gd-bbpress-attachments/code/attachments/front.php :
$img_details = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'large');
$file_url = $img_details[0];
So that the users aren't downloading the full image. You could setup an admin option to ask for the size on the wp_get_attachment_image_src call too.
Thanks, Joe

Beware of the "next visit is no charge" because they charge you anyway
by disappointed in prescott , 03/09/2012
I visited Prescott Foot and Ankle Clinic and received orthotic foot inserts. The first two visits involved a co-pay, but I was assured, twice, by the office staff that the third visit would not involve a co-pay since I would simply be receiving the orthotics with instructions on wearing them. Much to my surprise I received a bill for that office visit. Upon calling the office to clarify, I spoke with Deb, who wanted to know who had told me I wouldn't be charged for that visit, because this was a frequent problem with their office. I asked her to please refund us the co-pay that was charged me since I was told there would be none. She became rude and condescending, refusing to acknowledge that if her office promised I wouldn't be charged, then I shouldn't be charged. In addition, she would not allow me to speak to Dr. Peterson regarding this matter.Beware that you will be charged for an office visit even if they say you won't be.

I have this thing about wrapping handlebars…perhaps an obsession. When I was still a novice, I once took an hour wrapping and re-wrapping the same handlebar which led to another hour of lovers' spat with my exasperated girlfriend. I have on occasion wrapped a bar with brand new tape, only to rip it off moments later after I decided it was "wrong for the bike." I have also carefully transferred tape and re-applied it to three bikes over a period of two years. I have crashed on some tape repeatedly, bolstering it with electrical tape until the original wrap was barely visible. When I go to Japan, I stock up on coloured electrical tape because I think that Japanese electrical tape works best for finishing the terminal end of the handlebar wrap. One time, an ex-teammate drove an hour and half to have me work my handlebar wrap magic on his new bike.
At this point, I have a plethora of preferences for wrap.

GMC Savana 3500 Problems"No start" Caused By Failed Fuel Pump
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart.
Vehicles equipped whit a 4 speed automatic transmission may develop a harsh 1-2 shift and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P1870 stored. This can be caused by wear of the bore for the TCC isolator and regulator valves in the valve body. This condition does not commonly occur until the transmission reaches normal operating temperature. If the valve body is worn, replacement will be necessary to correct this concern.
It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.

How do I fix it
GMC Savana 3500 RecallsEngine Stalls From Electrical Module Short
The chassis electrical module can short due to internal contamination. This can result in the vehicle stalling. Dealers will replace the chassis electronic module free of charge to resolve the concern.
Certain vehicles equipped to run on compressed natural gas are being recalled because the high pressure natural gas regulator could develop a leak, increasing the risk of a fire or explosion. Dealers will replace the natural gas regulator to correct this concern.
Certain vehicles are being recalled because if a crash were to occur not requiring deployment of the front airbags, the head of an unbelted front seat passenger could hit the instrument panel, resulting in personal injury because the panel may not sufficiently absorb the impact. As of this writing, General Motors is still working on a remedy for this concern.

In Bordeaux, off the place Gambetta, a stone's throw from the town's historic centre.
A well-appointed modern hotel that's a good base for business or exploring the town, without being a destination in itself. Under a deceptively still surface, anything you need is provided instantly without any fuss.
Four types of rooms, from a very comfortable standard room to spacious suites with roof terraces looking out over the city. Duplex family rooms have living rooms downstairs with pull-down beds in cupboards and master bedrooms upstairs.
Bordeaux is full of restaurants, so eating at the hotel might not be a priority. Its restaurant, Le Jardin de Burdigala, offers local food with international influences (pigeon curry, samosa).
We like
Being in the centre of town but still able to drive to Margaux within half an hour for a look around and a great lunch.
Not so keen
The TV-dinner room service menu is a terrific idea if you've been out all day sampling Bordeaux's architectural, shopping and gastronomic pleasures. It's a shame about the television service itself, which is limited

Skip to comments.Obama Administrations Border-Crisis Plan B: Use the Catholic Church
Posted on 07/11/2014 4:42:44 AM PDT by NYer
"In order to avoid future clashes with the citizens of Murrieta, Calif., over attempts to transfer illegal immigrants there, the Obama administration has turned to an unusual bedfellow: the Catholic Church. Deacon Luis Sanchez of the Diocese of San Bernardino tells National Review Online that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent approached the diocese on July 2, 2014, and expressed his desire for the Church to help in helping these families reach their destination. Since that time, he says, diocesan officials have spoken on the phone with ICE, and they held a planning meeting on Monday.
John Andrews, the dioceses director of communications who attended the planning meeting, tells NRO that the idea is to set up transitional centers where volunteers and representatives from Catholic Charities would provide food, medical, and spiritual care for families who have been processed at a Border Patrol station. He says he hopes to help the people pushed out of Murrieta, and would need to accommodate 140 people arriving every three days. Andrews says he expects the centers will house mostly mothers and their children for one or two days. But if theres a situation where a family needs to stay longer than a day or two, he says that placing illegal immigrants with a local family would represent a very viable option.#ad#
Andrews says several of the parishes within the diocese might be used as part of the plan, but he would not provide details about the locations he disclosed at Mondays planning meeting. He has withheld such details, he says, because he does not want to invite the type of folks who gathered in Murrieta to protest to disrupt their plans. They [the Murrieta protesters] dont see the immigrant in the same way we do, which is as a human being thats created in Gods image with dignity, just like everyone else, he says.
Some Church officials appear to take the view that the type of folks who gathered in Murrieta must be seen differently from the immigrants. In her blog, Sister Mary Ann Walsh, director of media relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that images of the Murrieta protesters recalled the fire hoses and snarling police dogs in Birmingham, Alabama, used against African-American students protesting racial segregation. The images also reminded her of a picture of a little girl in North Vietnam running terrified and naked with burning skin after South Vietnamese planes accidently dropped napalm on Trang Bang in 1972. Walsh referred derisively to the mob in Murrieta, and wrote that she awaits a moral conscience moment similar to what occurred with the passage of civil-rights legislation 50 years ago and the moment when the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam.
Parishioners in San Bernardino do not uniformly share Walshs view of illegal immigrants flooding into their community, however. One couple who attended the planning meeting called into Rush Limbaughs radio show to offer an alternative position. Eddie, a caller identifying himself as a retired doctor, said hes concerned about the spread of illnesses that might result from the plan put together by the Obama administration and the Catholic Church. Weve got FEMA facilities that can provide medical care, housing, nutrition and clothing, safety and transportation, and stabilize the situation so that these people can be reintegrated or be dealt with, Eddie said. But to put us and subject us to health-care problems, risk, whatever you want to call it, seems to be an incompetence on behalf of the government when they themselves, these different agencies are not talking to each other.
It may come as a surprise that government officials are collaborating with the Catholic Church, given recent conflict between the two. The Little Sisters of the Poor faced hefty fines when they challenged the Obamacare contraception mandate. While the Obama administration objects to the kind of health care the Little Sisters would like to provide their employees, it is working on a plan with the Diocese of San Bernardino to allow Catholic Church officials to provide medical attention to illegal immigrants, according to Andrews. And though Massachusetts state government officials have shuttered Catholic Charities adoption service, churchgoers in California may soon be permitted by federal government officials to house entire families in their homes.
The Los Angeles ICE office did not return requests for comment about the plan, and Sanchez and Andrews would not disclose the name of the ICE official who has worked with the diocese. But if the plan described by Andrews comes through, the Obama administration may begin using the Catholic Church to shepherd immigrants all over the country.
Although Baptist leaders have worked with the Obama administration for weeks, they've not received any clear guidance as to what role churches will be able to play in ministering to the unaccompanied children.
Odumbo created the crisis and now shifts the burden of supporting all those kids to the church, one of the churches he despises? The Muzzie PIG!.
Can't we just give these invaders Canada and be done with this mess?
The Catholic Church is a lot of things.
One of those things is that it's a big bureaucracy. The first thing bureaucracy must do before anything else is ensure it is perpetuated.
The Catholic Church thinks that these kids will be good Catholics and help perpetuate it and thus the bureaucracy.
So Obama and the Catholic Church are natural allies in this.
They are both acting against America in this as well.
Both Democrats and Catholics will suffer the political consequences.
Yes. But, Christians must do their Christian duty, despite that, despite the cynical behavior of the fedgov and the mush headedness of the Bishops.
They [the Murrieta protesters] dont see the immigrant in the same way we do, which is as a human being thats created in Gods image with dignity, just like everyone else, he says."
That is a slur you son of a bitch and one hurled in assistance of an attack on the Law of the greatest nation ever to rise in History, The United States of America.
1. Well it is California.
2. Oh for crying out loud!.
3. Well at least tax payers won't be paying for them.
4. It is the right thing to do.
5. For a guy who has no stones, he has a lot of stones.
6. Thanks San Bernadino, now the Church will be drug through the mud for days on Free Republic.
7. Well the Church does have the resources and know how to get this done.
This is the flow of thoughts currently running through my head.
Look at what is happening with his black base - they support him even though he has done NOTHING to raise the black families out of violence and poverty and smirks as they blindly support his 3% blackness.
He throws them a 'shout out' and they swoon. The Catholic Church will do the very same.
This, the man who hates the CC with the fury of a thousand drag queens who have been denied admittance to the ladies' restrooms.
You have bought into some nonsensical screed. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Throughout its history, the Catholic Church has ministered to the downtrodden. During WWII, catholics housed Jews, providing them with false documents like baptismal certificates. This was corroborated by a Jewish co worker whose family hid her in a convent. She described the loving care she received from the nuns who also ensured she received education in her Jewish faith. At no time did anyone ever suggest she convert.
Not far from me is a home run by the Little Sisters of the Poor. They provide living arrangements for the poorest of the poor, regardless of their faith.
The immigrants are Catholic, and therefore their families, Latino and Catholic, will vote democrat?
"Polls released before the 2008 election demonstrated Americas Christian voters are no longer synonymous with the political right: a George Barna survey showed born-again Christians evenly split between John McCain and Barack Obama, and a Public Religion Research study found that even among white Evangelicals, touchstone issues like abortion and same-sex marriage werent in their top five voting considerations."

It's a conundrum. A similar scenario is playing out in the Middle East where christian refugees are flooding Lebanon. Like us, they lack the resources to handle the tremendous influx. And, like here, there are criminals in the mix. However, in the Middle East, it is the Catholic Church that has stepped forward to provide assistance through Aid to the Church in Need.
And when the "Christian's" balk at having to support those thousands, odoumbo can claim them as hypocrites. Plan C!
Despite what many of you think you know. The Catholic Church educates a ton of kids in inner cities that are not Catholic. A lot of these parish schools have more kids who not Catholic in them then are Catholic. Catholic hospitals serve all, rich and poor. Catholic or not no strings attached.
Also btw in many of the past humanitarian crisis that have occurred the Catholic Church has worked with many other religious organizations to help people of all faiths. The St. Vincent DePaul society and every parish has a committee, will help anyone who can demonstrate need. Anyone! Pretty tired of the bashing and snide remarks.
Of course I would prefer that people do as Bert did and come legally. But that horse is already out of the barn. Now we must deal with this and if the Church can take some of the burden off the taxpayers they should be thanking us instead of bashing us.
People get on here and bash the Church and the Vatican for the money we have. What the Hell do they think we do with all that money? When Katrina hit my parish literally had a truck load of water, blankets, diapers, clothes etc. headed for NOLA the day before the levies failed. Who do they think paid for that? Who do they think pays for low income kids to go to parish schools thereby alleviating the public schools of the burden to educate those kids, plus in states with school levies, we still pay for the public schools that we do not use.
As you can see I am fed up and Father and I will have a lot to talk about come Saturday!
He does that so if there are any problems he can then blame the Catholic Church for ITS failure.
He's a master at blame-shift. That keeps him of having the "buck" stopping at his desk. He's a COWARD, bully and a "great do-nothing mystifier." That was my husband's name for politicians like him.
All that you said is true. The Catholic Church has been around almost 2000 years and KNOW how to take care of ALL of God's creations. They've been doing it a LOT longer than the pimp we have as a president.
The Catholic Church's CATHOLIC CHARITIES is so good, thorough, efficient and honest that the USA gives out its foreign aid VIA the Catholic Charities. Of course, Israel gets 50% of our foreign aid to fight its fight against the terrorists over there.
As O'Reilly said, Obama is in the running to be one of the five WORST presidents this country has ever had.
**The Catholic Church will do the very same.**
OR encounter the injured children by the side of the road as the Good Samaritan did?
Cowgirl, you have a way with words.
Just as an anecdote, my mother is in a Polish Catholic nursing home and it's great. The nuns are cheerful and patient - and it takes a lot of patience to work in these places. Two thumbs up for Catholic workers!
Of course, I believe all of the people coming over the border must be returned home.
Precisely the response obama is hoping to get from the church and and country he is committed to destroying. He knows he can't do that without the complicity of the ones who he wants to bring down.
1. Being a nun is a calling, not just a job. God bless them for their charity. Taking care of the elderly is one of the most trying jobs there is, I imagine.
2. Yes, they MUST. Pressure HAS to be brought to bear on their respective governments. It HAS to be but our President doesn't have the cajones to do that. Mrs. O has his in her purse.
Archbishop Levada was OUR Archbishop for some years! Wonderful man and priest.
FROM THE INTERNET: http://www.catholiccharitiesoregon.org/about_us_history.asp
Catholic charity in Oregon dates back to the first orphanage founded in 1838 by Father Francis Blanchet and the Sisters of Notre Dame du Namours. This partnership began a legacy of serving Oregon's poor and vulnerable, beginning with Oregon's youngest residents. In 1913, Oregon child labor laws were enacted as a result of the investigative work of Father Edwin O'Hara, teamed with other community leaders. This led to the establishment of the Catholic Children's Bureau in 1917. In 1932, Father Lucien Lauerman evaluated Catholic social welfare work in the Archdiocese of Portland and presented his report to a group assembled by Archbishop Edward Howard on September 12, 1933. The result was the establishment of the first Catholic Charities office, where Father Lauerman employed four staff members who represented Catholic social service institutions in all court cases and acted as case managers for children.
Over the years, Catholic Charities has sought to respond to the ever emerging needs of the poor and vulnerable throughout western Oregon consistent with the call of Jesus and the teachings of the Church. Subsequently, several initiatives have followed in steady succession to meet these needs.
Catholic Community Services of Salem was established to advocate for children in foster care.
Catholic Charities become involved in the reception and resettlement of refugees after the end of World War II. Subsequently, Catholic Charities has aided refugees all different parts of the world.
Catholic Charities founded the Catholic Youth Organization sports program.
Catholic Charities of Lane County was established, and later renamed Catholic Community Services of Lane County in 1984.
Camp Howard, a 160 acre wooded campsite, is founded near Sandy to conduct summer sports and camp programs for grade school and junior high children.
Catholic Family Services and Catholic Services for Children were formed, and later combined into Catholic Community Services of Portland in 1989.
Archbishop William Levada commissioned a study to evaluate Catholic social services within the Archdiocese.
Archbishop Levada and a newly appointed Board of Directors established a restructured Archdiocesan Catholic Charities organization with Dennis B. Keenan, MSW, as its Executive Director. This office, while supporting parish outreach activities, also conducted needs assessment and program planning efforts, and provided leadership to member agencies in the areas of fiscal and personnel management, fundraising, public relations and accreditation.
Catholic Community Services of Southern Oregon was established to respond to the needs of families hard hit by the downturn in the timber industry and influx of immigrant workers. It was renamed Catholic Charities of Southern Oregon in 2006.
Catholic Charities initiated Ministry to the Elderly to support parish-based services for the elderly.
Catholic Community Services of Portland merged with Catholic Charities.
Project Rachel was initiated in an effort to provide emotional and spiritual healing to persons previously involved in abortions.
Immigration Legal Services program was established, with a branch office in Medford opened in 1999.
Catholic Charities Caritas Housing Initiatives completes its first low-income housing project.
Following in the tradition of serving homeless women and children, Catholic Charities opens its Housing Transitions Program.
The first record of Catholic Charities service statistics shows Catholic Charities served 1,323 individuals in 1952. By 2000, that number had risen to over 100,000 annually. Today, Catholic Charities operates 25 programs, has four Member Agencies and 20 grantee agencies serving people of all ages, races and beliefs.
"Some people just don't get it."
You are right. I don't get it. The Catholic Church has an overwhelming presence in Central America.
Why aren't they addressing the suffering there instead of at the end of a harsh 1,000 mile journey in which so many die.
Could it be because the Church is being used as a tool by the Dark Lords of DC to destroy the last bastion of Christian liberty in the world.
The term Lenin used was "useful idiots".
Nah. That couldn't be it.
You must be right. I just don't get it.
Your statement doesn't negate RFEngineer's "nonsensical screed". In fact it seems that your statement even supports the idea of just bring in and housing illegals under the doors of the Catholic Church. The Vatican has been very supportive of illegal immigration. Sorry but RFEngineer is right.
Catholics can remember that when they dance with the devil they're going to get burned.
noun: complicity
the state of being involved with others in an illegal activity or wrongdoing.
Some precision of thought is required. Performing the Corporal Works of Mercy is not contingent; nor is it wrongdoing.
Let's stay clear on who the real bad actors are in this situation.
Of course not.
The Catholic Church is, for the most part, a Liberal organization. Evangelical Protestant churches tend to be Conservative.
Obama can't afford the risk of bringing all of these future voters here, then putting them into contact with people who could, through word and deed, convince them to vote the wrong way.
My use of the word "workers" was to send a shout out to everyone who works in these nursing homes - nurses, nurses aides, cooks, bottle washers, etc. I've never met a more kind group of people. If only they would stop playing those polka cd's...
Unlike many people they did not miss the lesson about doing charity in the dark so as not to call attention to yourself. The Sisters in South America and in fact all over the world do a whole lot without much resources.
The only ones we hear about in the US is the malcontents who never had a true vocation, they just needed something to do. The malcontents I have known of fall into categories. There are the fat and ugly ones who went into the convent because they had no marriage prospects back when women stayed home until they married. Or they were women who back in the 60's and 70's went into the convent convinced that Vat II would allow them to be priests. Then there are the ones who like to say how independent they are, but they lack the courage to go into the world as a single woman.
You do not have any idea what the other 98% of religious sisters do. You just think you do. I know!
Bring in? Please source that statement.
"Throughout its history, the Catholic Church has ministered to the downtrodden"
I find it very hard to believe that the Catholic Church would support children leaving their parents and making a trek to a foreign land.
The Catholic Church is very strong in the "source" countries for these illegal immigrants. They could, if they wanted, minister to and support these children in their host countries.
This has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with politics and bureaucracy expansion. It has to do with power and control.
In this case Obama and the Catholic bureaucracy are allies. Both want to bring America down a peg or two or ten.
It's wrong, and I suspect most faithful American Catholics agree with me.
From your article:
There is no discussion of sending these people back. Rather the Catholic Church is facilitating bring these people into the United States.
The Catholic Church is part and parcel to bring these illegals in.
But the allegedly pro-life conservatives who are not Catholic, would rather these kids die then take up any space in their precious universe, because they are poor and illegal. Most of these illegals probably don't have a clue what they are doing here. They are being used. So by all means we should just get in line and mistreat them. Then the headline will be "Catholics Turn Backs on Hispanics". Don't care! We can't win that one!
You know I am tired of this. Lets go spiritual, shall we. Today's first reading. "for in you the orphan finds compassion. I will heal their defection, says the LORD, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them. "
For the literalistic that will pounce.
Orphan: one deprived of some protection or advantage.
Today's Gospel:Jesus said to his Apostles: Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Don-o, it very well may be that God is giving us a means to redemption. This country has and continues to go off the rails. Even though we don't support abortion, infanticide, eugenics etc. a large part of our country does.
I am reminded of the story from the Old Testament, where God promised not to destroy the city if there were even one righteous man in it.
I don't claim to be righteous but we owe it to God to try.
I would have preferred that these kids stayed home with their families, but they didn't. They are here. They are human beings, they are sick and hurt and frightened. Instead of gratitude that the Catholic Church is willing to step up and try to get at least some of this burden off the citizens and tax payers all they get is grief. Accusations of ulterior motives, suspicions, complicity. I would love to have a conversation with some of their pastors.
Link goes to some notes and quotes from it.
While I would not agree today with everything he says, his major premise is Our argument, then, is that idolatry and its associated concepts provide a better framework for us to understand our own society than do any of the alternatives."
Perhaps keeping that in mind will help in understanding where some folks' bewildering comments originate. My Missus has taught me that is a worthwhile thing to try to do.
"This, the man who hates the CC with the fury of a thousand drag queens who have been denied admittance to the ladies restrooms."
Awesome. I'm stealin' that.
"Dear Bishop Gerald Barnes,
I understand that the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy are not optional. The love of Christ impels us to help the needy.
However, Mercy does not impel us to become accessories in crimes, not to be exploited by the coercive power of a lawless State.
The resettlement of tens or hundreds of thousands of Central American people here is a crime, since both they (perhaps unwillingly, in the case of children) and the present Administration are breaking the reasonable laws of the United States regarding just, lawful and humane immigration.
This is being done in a manner totally opposed to the Common Good. And the present Administration is using this for partisan political purposes which are at odds with the Rule of Law in our country, and our citizens' well-being. It amounts enabling to one of the biggest, most immoral human trafficking schemes in the history of the United States.
I believe we must fed the hungry when we see them, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless.
I urge you to tell the authorities of the state that you will house and help these unfortunate Central American young people, only pending the reunification of their families VIA THEIR REPATRIATION TO THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN.

I read yesterday of two Honduran teens coming to Atlanta to reunite with their parents, who were said to be here legally. If that is accurate (and that is a BIG if), I wonder how much of that there is.
I have no idea whether a foreign national can obtain legal status while abandoning their children.
Now that is how to complain effectively. Good letter. I hope you know I am only in favor of helping them here until we can get them back to their own countries. I am not in favor of allowing them to stay. I just get sick of the Church getting beat up over everything.
"elimination of global underdevelopment is the antidote to illegal immigration" Pope John Paul II 1995
Yes, I got that. I appreciate your stance.
I urge you to tell the authorities of the state that you will house and help these unfortunate Central American young people, only pending the reunification of their families VIA THEIR REPATRIATION TO THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN.
As I understand it, many of these children are being united with "families" here in the US. Presumably, some of these families are also illegal aliens. Are you also proposing that all members be identified and repatriated to their country of origin?
Lol. I KNOW what you mean.
So, Yes. In a swift, efficient and kindly manner.
Yes that is a sticky wicket! I am deep disturbed that they are keeping these people under wraps. Apparently this has been going on for a while.
Make no mistake my friend -- My thinking is quite precise and I am very clear on who the real bad actors are in this crisis.
You missed my point -- That being that I see this as an attempt by the "bad actors" -- I prefer "evil-doers" -- to use you and the Catholic Church's "Corporal Works of Mercy" to advance their mission to destroy our Judeo-Christian values and heritage on which this country was founded by opening our borders.
The Left's tactic of advancing their political agenda by wrapping it in a humanitarian cloak (which makes those who want to preserve our sovereignty by controlling our borders look "mean" or "uncaring" at best), then appealing to religious people and institutions to join them -- as religious tenets compel -- is sheer brilliance (though truly evil in its contemptible use of people of faith who the Left holds in disdain).
There is no question we must treat these people humanely -- illegal though their actions may be -- and we must show compassion for their plight. But that compassion must be on a personal level, not on a societal or "group" level or we'll lose our country.
You must remember this crisis is -- at its core -- a political tactic. The Left cares little about religious people and even less about the church, and it makes me angry that good people like yourself cannot see beyond the humanitarian imperative. Provide food, temporary shelter and any necessary medical care to these people then, after explaining why they cannot stay here, put them on a comfortable bus and send them back to where they came from.
As to others on this forum who would rather attack those who disagree with them than to acknowledge the counterpoint (e.g., defconw: It's like talking to the deaf. But it's ok. because just like the idiots that claim to be Catholics and continue to take the Eucharist, they are just bringing wrath upon themselves.) I say this: You should show a little compassion toward those who see beyond the humanitarian crisis and you should at the very least acknowledge that history shows that good works, no matter how well intended they may be, can produce an even greater tragedy. Instead, you profess to somehow know that those who take issue with you will bring "wrath upon themselves".
Nonsense, Evangelicals are the best voters in the land, and even the all encompassing "Protestant" vote always goes anti-democrat, yet the Catholic denomination does and always has with very few exceptions, voted democrat.
And we all know that the left counts on importing more Catholic voters, it is why they passed JFK's 1965 Immigration bill.
The Catholic immigrants will vote democrat.

Now that I have your attention, let's narrow the focus a bit and talk about sex education in South Carolina. It may not be as titillating, but it's still really important.
WASHINGTON -- Rush Limbaugh can relax. The popular "demon of the right" has been replaced at least through the midterms by the Koch brothers, Charles and David.
Most husbands, if they carry a photo of their wives, like for it to be one of glamour and beauty. That would not be my husband.
After the death of Dr. Yates Snowden, long time history professor at the University of South Carolina, his papers were placed in the South Caroliniana Library. After being accessioned, they were given a general description for the card catalog. Pamphlets and other publications were removed and given an individual card catalog description.
It seems like every year, I have to write a story about how the U.S. Supreme Court is continuing to make campaign finances worse and worse. In 2010, it was the court's Citizens United decision. In 2012, the court's refusal to even reconsider the Citizens United case. In 2013, I wrote about the arguments made in McCutcheon vs. Federal Election Commission (FEC).
It's been a long, cold winter. Too many nights with sub-20 temperatures. Too many days of steady, cold drizzle.
WASHINGTON -- H.L. Mencken gets a workout in election years when voters are reminded by pundits of the curmudgeon's observation that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of … fishing! With apologies to poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, at this point in my life I think I'd rather feel a tug on my fishing line than on my heart strings. Cynical? No doubt, but at least I'm honest.
Council and staff have as their primary goal economic development. We want greater prosperity for the business community. We are intent on creating jobs. We are developing a plan to market Camden to travelers from around the nation, who will find it one of the most appealing towns in the Southeast.
WASHINGTON -- The past couple of weeks have marked a turning point in American ugliness as the mob has turned its full fury on First Lady Michelle Obama.
When it comes to tanning, fake is OK with me. Wait, let me clarify, fake in the sense of spray tan or self-tanners, not tanning bed fake. I think one realization I've come to over the years is that skin care is absolutely essential as I grow older. This includes moisturizing daily and always wearing sunscreen.
You may not know the name, but we in South Carolina need to listen to Larry Page. He is a very bright and very rich young man.
In 362 days, I will be 50 years old. That means I am already three days into my 50th year of life. In other words, Friday was my 49th birthday.
For years, I blamed it on those richly royal blue suede high heel pumps. The ones with the ridiculously tall, spiked heel and absurdly pointed toe. I was 22 when I bought them, 36 when I donated them to the Salvation Army.
What I am told is the biggest annual event in Kershaw County is tomorrow, and I get to experience it for the first time. The 82nd Carolina Cup is here, and as the newest member of the Chronicle-Independent staff, I get the honor of attending and documenting the event.

If you are looking for a day trip that offers food and food for thought, then pack up and head out to a local farm.
The Lower Mainland is a cornucopia of country experiences waiting to be enjoyed. Many farms are adding value to their businesses via on-site shops and restaurants that sell and serve their own products and offer tours, tastings and experiences.
A great resource to guide you through the wealth of wonderful nearby farms is the self-guided Circle Farm Tour. The website offers up routes and information for Abbotsford, Agassiz/Harrison Mills, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows and Langley.
We headed out to the Langley area and hit three unique private farms that are doing it right and gaining far-reaching reputations that have attracted many visitors from the U.S. and around the globe.
Vista D'oro Farms & Winery
Where: 346 208th St., South Langley
Hours of operation: Thursday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Info: vistadoro.com, 604-514-3539
What came first, the horse or the farm?
In the case of Vista D'oro it was Rico, a little bay Arabian horse, that led Lee and Patrick Murphy to their stunning South Langley acreage with its panoramic views of Campbell Valley Park and Golden Ears.
"Yeah, we bought the property for him and he's still here," says Lee, scratching the old gelding's nose as he hangs it over the fence.
The couple, both former Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers employees, purchased five acres of land in 1997 and then another five next door in 2001. The farm officially became a business for them in 2002.
Originally homesteaded in the 1890s, the property's last working incarnation was that of a dairy farm. It still boasts its original dairy barn. The cows are gone but the barn still gets a regular workout thanks to special events and performances. It is also home to a pair of beautiful barn owls.
From the preservatory (where the preserves are made), which has floorboards reclaimed from a sunken fishing barge, to the wide variety of fruit trees, including pear trees with their fruit growing inside dangling glass bottles, it's clear the Murphys want to do things a bit differently.
"Patrick is not about conformity," says Lee as we talk inside Patrick's domain, the fermentation room. "The reality is we are competing against the world. You have to stand out."
One of the ways in which they stand out is through their unique wines, most notably the D'oro fortified walnut wine. The only walnut wine produced in North America, the D'oro is made from walnuts collected from three trees that sit on the property, all of them more than a hundred years old.
"Patrick made the wine for four or five years and we drank a lot of it ourselves," says Lee with a laugh, explaining the evolution of the product. The farm also produces four wines from grapes.
Patrick has 16 varieties of apple trees on the go, as well.
"I'm trying all different varieties to figure out what grows best here with the least amount of work needed," says Patrick. "A lot of these apples go to pastry chefs in Vancouver."
They, like the walnuts, also go into Lee's preserves and jams.
A cooking school graduate, Lee develops products for the preservatory. (Seventy per cent of the ingredients used come from Vista D'oro and most of the rest come from other local farms.)
The preserves and jams, which Lee has been delivering since 2002, are seasonal and made in small batches. Only the best in-season fruit is used for her handmade preserves.
You can buy them online or look for a retail location on the farm's website. In Vancouver, outlets range from small neighbourhood cheese shops to Whole Foods.
But the best way to get your hands on some product is to visit where it comes from. The Farmgate Store and Tasting Room is jammed with Vista D'oro offerings. Order one of their picnic lunches and enjoy it on the deck or under the shade of an old apple tree.
Just be warned that you might have some company — as Paris and Chablis, the two lovely farm dogs, have developed a taste for cheese.
Kensington Prairie Farm
Where: 1736 248th St., Langley
Hours of operation: Country store open year round, Fridays noon-5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m.-4 p.m., or by appointment
Info: kpfarm.com, 604-626-4395
Seamus the Huacaya alpaca was a little wound up when we arrived at Kensington Prairie Farm.
The regal-looking white male was pacing back and forth along the fence line of his pasture.
"He's our big stud and he doesn't like it when he can't see the girls," said KPF co-owner Catherine Simpson as we watched Seamus.
"The girls" had been taken out of the adjacent field and brought into the barn to undergo a routine course of worming.
Simpson's Langley farm is home to 60 alpacas and 50 Polled (hornless) Hereford cattle.
Originally, the farm and the stunning mid-century house were owned by Earl Finning of Finning Caterpillar fame.
Simpson and her partner, Jim Dales, landed on this 40-acre parcel 11 years ago after they outgrew their five acres in South Surrey.
Simpson's domesticated South American camelids are used primarily for their wool, which she turns into clothing items, throws, pillows and woven rugs.
"I have a woman in Chilliwack in her 80s who knits for me," says Simpson as she shows off some of the wool products in her well-stocked farm store, which will be expanding soon.
The shop also stocks products Simpson brings back from regular trips to Peru, including what she calls standard West Coast wear, such as knitted vests and pullovers made from an alpaca and cotton blend.
The biggest sellers, though, are the socks.
"I get hikers to oilpatch workers wanting these," said Simpson about the $18-$29 socks.
The farm, which is home to a successful breeding program, also produces artisanal honey and cow and alpaca meat products.
Simpson is an extremely knowledgeable ambassador for the alpaca. Fun facts we learned when we were there were:
The older the alpaca, the coarser the hair;
Light-coloured alpacas have finer hair than the dark-coloured ones;
Alpaca wool is graded on a system of one to six, with one being the finest and most expensive (about $25 a kilo) and six the coarsest ($3 per kilo);
Alpacas are shorn the third week of every April and it takes about eight minutes for the shearer to strip each one.
Simpson brings out one-year-old Antonia to give us a closer look at one of her cherished animals.
"I'm busy doing what I love doing," Simpson says as she tousles Antonia's floppy forelock. And it shows.
Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery
Where: 6179 248th St., Langley
Hours of operation: Daily 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Thursdays until 9 p.m.
Info: krauseberryfarms.com, 604-856-5757
If you want berries and just about anything to do with berries, head to Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery in Langley.
"We are trying hard not to be everything but just be what is unique to us," says Sandee Krause, who owns and operates the business along with her husband Alf.
And what is unique to this operation are berries.
From fudge to wine, the Krause operation produces 150 berry-related products.
A virtual Disneyland of berry farms, this lively 50 acres is a great spot for a family outing.
You can work up an appetite picking your own fruit then head back to the bright blue compound to enjoy some homemade waffles, fudge, doughnuts (the blueberry ones are killer) and other desserts.
The berry pies are pastry feats piled sky high with the freshest ingredients. The pies are so popular that the Krauses had to make a "pie safe," complete with an oversized padlock, to keep keen pie lovers from claiming pies others have pre-ordered.
Alf started the berry farm 40 years ago with a small field and a pickup truck.
"Yeah, it's lot different," he says with a laugh.
Today, it's a well oiled operation complete with a full bakery, kitchens, live entertainment area, a wine-tasting bar with authentic western saddles as seats, a gift shop with items from the farm and other nearby producers, a playground and a U-pick flower garden.
They also offer tours, special events and a cooking school.
Adding to the appeal of the place is that Krause truly is an open book. Visitors cannot only peer into the kitchen, they can press the intercom and ask the staff questions.
"We want people to feel like they belong. They can pick their berries then come and see how we prepare them," says Sandee.
The Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery is also strategically located on the Historic Otter 248th Trail, a stretch of road that includes the Thunderbird Show Park horse show facility, JD Farms Specialty Turkey, Bonetti Meats, Kensington Prairie Farm and Blackwood Lane Winery. All of these locations are open to the public as well.
"We have a lot of regulars and they tell us all the time they bring their out-of-town guests here," says Sandee. "People keep coming back. We want everyone from our guests to our staff to enjoy themselves."

Organic, Sustainable, and Local Cooking for any Budget
We can become happier, healthier, and more secure by cooking and eating real food again. Join the movement to make delicious, seasonal meals from scratch. You'll reduce your grocery bills and probably your medical bills. You'll have the joy of vibrant health and the relief of being able to eat well on even a small budget. You'll make a positive difference for yourself, your family, and for your community and planet.
A plant-based menu is heart-healthy and is wildly affordable, even with organic ingredients. I get the best value for my money by choosing sturdy, in-season vegetables. I shop first at the farmers' market for the freshest produce. Sometimes I splurge on local flowers, bread, or pickles too.
Summer at the farmers' market!
Tomatoes, peppers, corn, green beans, and basil are at the market again, along with summer squash and cucumbers. Ripe peaches, blueberries, and melons make dessert a snap. In the background, the base of many meals: Yukon Gold potatoes.
Summer recipes
Much of what I eat this time of year doesn't require recipes. Eat the cherry tomatoes after just a quick rinse. Rinse the arugula and salad mix, spin or blot dry, and sprinkle with a little balsamic vinegar. Scrub the carrots and make like Bugs Bunny.
Still, a little cooking adds variety and makes different nutrients more available. Here are some favorite summer vegetable recipes. You'll find more, including my basil pesto recipes, in my books Wildly Affordable Organic (vegetarian) and Fifty Weeks of Green (vegan).
- Summer Stew with Lentils, Green Beans, and Potatoes
- Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes
- Creamy Lemon Pasta with Chard
- Mighty Miso Stir Fry
- Beach Smoothies
- Tomato-Tahini Salad Dressing
- Chickpea and Quinoa Salad with Beets, Cukes, and Peppers
- Daylily Summer-Squash Skillet
Don't worry about getting enough protein. Most Americans eat too much every day. Vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds have all the protein you need.
Buying in bulk, eating with the seasons, and cooking ahead are all key skills in the Wildly Affordable Organic kitchen.
Year-round organic, real-food recipes
- Cuban Black Beans
- Dairy-Free Pizza with Hummus (match your toppings with the season)
- Lentilicious Sunshine Spread
- Steamed Collards or Kale with Peanut-Lime Sauce
- Power Jars for Grab-and-Go Lunches
- Hot Italian Cocoa Cookies
Why cook the Wildly Affordable Organic way?
Go green for $5 a day or less with mostly organic or sustainably raised ingredients. Or focus on cost to save even more! Either way, you'll probably be spending less than the food-stamp allowance for someone with no other means. We can afford to eat wonderful food that is good for our bodies and for our planet. Vote with your fork for a better world. (Don't forget to vote with your vote, too!)
