A CALLOUS daughter went on a spending spree with her father's savings after she stole his cheque and bank card details.
Widower Michael Postle had supported his 41-year-old daughter, Gillian Postle, by paying her rent for a year after she was released from prison for theft, Bolton Crown Court heard.
But Darren Preston, prosecuting, said that when she visited her father's home in Radcliffe in July last year with her three children, she took the opportunity to tear a cheque out of his cheque book and make a note of his card details.
She then used the cheque to pay £5,337.60 she had accumulated in rent arrears and went on a spending binge, booking a plane flight and a motorcycle track day, as well as a three- night trip to Bodmin in Cornwall and several purchases from Argos.
Postle, of Babylon Lane, Anderton, was due to stand trial but, on July 8, the day the case was due to start, she pleaded guilty to theft and six counts of fraud.
Mr Preston said that in 2007, Postle was living in Cornwall and was jailed for 18 months after she was caught stealing customers' money at the travel agent where she worked.
When she was released, she returned to Bolton with her children and her father helped her to rent a house in Blackburn Road for a year before she moved to another property in Chorley.
Mr Postle noticed the money had gone missing when he got his statement, the court heard. His signature had been forged on the cheque, which Postle had paid to her landlord, and Mr Postle was left with just £27 in his account.
The court heard it was not the first time Postle had swindled her father.
In 2006, he gave her his bank details to pay her rent and she took and extra £1,700 for herself.
Mr Preston said father and daughter were now estranged.
He added: "The impact on him has been enormous, emotionally and financially, in every way you could imagine."
David Ryan, defending, said the trip to Bodmin had been a holiday for her children and two of the Argos purchases had been toys for them.
He added: "She is deeply ashamed of what she has done."
Mr Ryan told the court that if Postle was jailed, there would be no one to look after her children and she would lose the travel agency job she has had since February.
Sentencing her to 16 months in jail, suspended for two years, Judge Timothy Clayson said: "Your father stood by you and you rewarded him by stealing from him in such a way as to prejudice his position financially, emotionally and in terms of his health."
He also ordered that she should be supervised for 12 months by the probation service and must pay her father £6,079 in £300 monthly instalments.

Topic: Hello All-Mom with Liver Mass
My mother who is 71 has been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma of the liver. She has a 13 cm liver mass which is in the entire left lobe and partially in the right by PET CT. She is on her 2nd cycle of 5FU, 48-hour infusion every 2 weeks. They never found "the primary." Other organs ruled out by blood tests, biopsy and scans. So far, mets is only in the liver with maybe a spot on T8-9, but this is questionable and I hope that this is nothing since the lymh gland they thought had mets is now said to be inflammation from the liver pressing down on it. Thankfully, all her other organs are working fine.
Initially, when we discovered this mass, Dec 7, 2006, I was anxious to do anything instead of sitting back and waiting for doctor appointments. (Our first appointment was scheduled Dec. 17th with the general surgeon.) I started my mother on the Essiac herbal supplement Dec 9th. After 2 weeks on this, we did notice an increase in her appetite and a decrease in the stomach aches and pains. She continues to take this daily. She is very weak now and has had increased abdominal pain since the liver needle biopsy (Jan 5) and the initiation of chemo (Jan 23).
Like many of you, I have so many questions and so few answers. Does anyone know a survivor with a mass this large? Is is possible to shrink something this large for potential resection? Has anyone else had promising results on this supplement? or this chemo 5FU? My mother asked, "how long do I have to live?" The oncologist's "textbook answer" to a "textbook question" based on her labs and films is 7 months--well, that is now 6 months--time really does fly!
My mother is a strong woman and does not want to leave us, yet. We are struggling to get the 80 grams of protein and 80 ounces of water that have been recommended, but as you know, with no appetite and a strong desire to sleep, it is difficult. Mostly, she manages to get 1/2 of them in or 3/4 on a good day. Her ankle and knee have started to swell. The oncologist said this is a chemo side effect. Is the "cure" worse than the disease? I wonder, will it speed the process when it should slow it down?
At this date, I am waiting for a call back from John Hopkins concerning information about TACE/chemoembolization as a possible option. I just don't have that much faith in 5FU, unless you can convince me otherwise. I realize this is a grave situation by medical views, but we would like to "add time" with TACE if it is as favorable as it claims to be based on reports that I have read so far. Does anyone have positive or negatives to share about this procedure?
We remain faithful to continued prayer. We are grateful for the opportunity to show our love and care for this wonderful person in our life. We are taking advantage of the time we have, making sure she knows that she is loved and will be missed more than she can possibly comprehend.
Thank you for listening, and for sharing any information about this.

How to Do Thanksgivukkah (a Little) Healthier
The mere fact there's bourbon in its name will raise the ire of those pedantic weiners who constantly remind you, "It can't be 'bourbon' unless it's 51 percent corn, aged in new oak barrels, and..." we've already quit listening. Therein lies the problem with flavored liquor acceptance. We drinkers should drink bourbon not because it complies with Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits, but because it tastes good. This Tennessee whiskey — not "Tennessee whiskey" — isn't some cheap hooch with Nesquik squeezed in, nor some creamy Godiva liqueur preferred by divorcees who hit Chili's for chocolatinis. Rather, this is high-end bourbon combined in small batches with Olive and Sinclair chocolates, which add a mellow, bitter cocoa taste to the finish. If you're still concerned, I'll be the pedantic one and note...it actually complies with bourbon standards.
When you hear "infused liquor," you might think of a frat party with some sliced pineapples floating in a jug of Popov. But nowadays, most top-flight cocktail bars are also doing infusions to add complexity to their creations. One of my all-time favorites is PDT's bacon-infused bourbon, which is mixed with maple syrup to craft their epic Benton's Old-Fashioned. Knob Creek's latest offering is perfect for a guy like me who enjoys that cocktail, but is too lazy to infuse rendered bacon fat into bourbon and then acquire pricy Grade B maple syrup. Hardly saccharine sweet like you might expect, Smoked Maple Bourbon is a perfectly manly 90-proof spirit featuring classic bourbon flavors with a subtle finish of smoked meats and maple. Why, it's almost like pouring syrup over your breakfast.

Many homeowners are afraid to tackle simple electrical projects - and rightly so. Electrical projects can be intimidating. But jobs like light fixture replacements can be easy and safe. The following offers some basic information every homeowner can benefit from - nothing too scary.
When working with electricity always:
Remove the wall plate and switch mounting screws so the switch can be pulled from the wall and the wires exposed. Don't touch any of the wires until you've confirmed they aren't carrying electrical current.
In contemporary wiring, individual wires run in a sheathed cable. Two-wire with ground and three-wire with ground cables are available. Two-wire with ground cables have a black wire, a white wire and an uninsulated ground. Three-wire with ground cables have a black wire, a white wire, a red wire and an uninsulated ground. Older houses may have knob-and-tube (K&T) wiring-a two-wire system. With this system, individual wires are insulated with white or black treated fabric.
Regardless of the type of wiring in your home, the white wire is usually the neutral wire, the black wire is "hot," and the exposed copper wires are ground wires. The white wire is sometimes used as a hot wire because some wiring installations require it. In this case, the white wire should be coded black with paint or electrical tape. Note, however, that it is possible that whoever did the wiring may not have coded the wire. If a red wire is present, it should also be hot.
A switch is what opens or closes an electrical current to a light fixture, ceiling fan, garbage disposer or other electrical device. There are single-pole, three-way and multi-location switches, double switches and dimmer switches. Switches may be wired at the end or in the middle of a circuit.
If only a single cable enters the box (or one set of black and white wires), the fixture is at the end of the circuit. This is usually, but not always, the situation with ceiling light fixtures. If two cables enter the box (or two sets of black and white wires in older K&T installations), the fixture is in the middle of a circuit. A third cable (or set of black and white wires) may also enter the fixture, depending upon the installation. The placement of the fixture within the circuit affects how it is wired.
The black, or hot wires, are connected to the brass screw terminals on receptacles and switches. The neutral wires are connected to the silver terminals. Ground wires should not be ignored. They should be connected to each other, to the grounding screw terminals (painted green) on receptacles, and to grounding screws in metal electrical boxes when metal boxes are used.
Pigtail leads are short wires which are connected to terminals on receptacles or switches. The leads are then connected to the home wiring using plastic wire connectors. Codes in some areas require that pigtails be used on all standard receptacle connections. Always use pigtails when more than one wire must be connected to a single terminal.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Wedding Paper Divas did it again! The vision I had for my programs was brought to life when I received that black box. The paper quality to strong and smooth. The program was just the right size....not to big and not too small. The color matched perfectly with my wedding color and theme. I am very pleased with my orders i.e. save the date magnets, invitations, and wedding programs."
"These were awesome!! All my family love the background and my daughter love the design!! I was hoping they could've wrote something on the inside to go by but other than that; I love the Card and Program!!"
"Design process was user friendly. Color choices nice. Designer did exactly as I had explained; very accommodating. Quality of paper excellent. Designer paid attention to detail. Customer service was excellent and efficient."
"The invitations and all the accompanying pieces were beautiful! We received many compliments saying the invitation was very classy. We loved the autumn colors, the heavy textured paper and the beautiful simple design. Along with the invitations, we were pleased with the reply postcards and the enclosure card. The matching programs were on the same textured paper. We loved it all! I would highly recommend this design and product."
"Wanting a program that looked like it was bordered in gold, I called WPD and a staffer went through all the designs and sent me many samples to choose from. I ended up selecting a color that was not on the custom color card, but was used in one of their designs. It come out exactly how I wanted it to. Design wise, a staffer took the time to take this design and give me other design choices- one of which I loved. I made numerous changes along the way and he responded immediately. Couldn't have had a better experience."

But to do this i need to "Extend" the internal antenna.
i'm a little bit lost when i look at the PCB so was wondering if anyone could explain to me in a little more detail.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team was unable to take down the 10th-ranked Lindenwood University Lions on Sunday afternoon, falling to their south regional opponent by a final score of 16-7 at University Turf Stadium.

Lindenwood responded with three quick goals of its own to pull ahead 3-1 with 25:51 on the clock, but Chadwick broke the run by converting a free position attempt 37 seconds later to set the score at 3-2.
Both teams traded blows before Lindenwood closed out the half with four straight to enter into the break with an 8-3 lead.
Lindenwood continued to ride its momentum throughout the second half, outscoring Saint Leo 8-4 to conclude the game with a nine goal lead.

I very honoUred to hear that one of my photos inspired another photographer. Thankyou very much for that comment. I hope you have as great a trip as I did.
I was fortunate to also have dove with Dr. Erdmann who was just in the press for the recent finds in that general area. He was a huge source of information and a good guy to have a few drinks with at the end of the day. (He married a Canadian so he has to be alright wouldn't you say Mike? )
I prefer not to post the image up right now as it was already entered in a couple of other contests. : If you want to see it you can go to my website under the gallery for contests and recognition. I have it posted there.

Hi all,
here's the issue, but first a foreword.
I know that using  and <sometag onclick=""> is evil, but in this particular situation it is quite hard to avoid it due to external powers
Anyway here is the issue itself : putting javascript strings inside HTML attributes :
<button onclick="DoSomething('string')">
Everything is fine until there are single or double quotes INSIDE the 'string' value. Having a double quote inside the string, even JS escaped leads to the onclick argument value being cut :
<button onclick="DoSomething('str\\"ing')">
If you replace the double quote by '"' then you don't get a double quote inside DoSomething (you could always replace " by " in JS).
Similar problem if you choose to enclose the onclick argument in single quotes and happen to have a single quote JS escaped inside the string.
So, is there any other way of dealing with potential presence of single AND double quotes in the 'string' value, other than replacing them before by ' and " and then replacing them back inside DoSomething ?
Thanks !
If you're happy with onclick attributes, then how about your own custom attributes?
<input type="button" value="Click Me" myAttr='Hi"There' onclick="doThis(this.getAttribute('myAttr'));" />
The simplest solution is to take the JavaScript out of the HTML and put it in a separate file where it belongs.
Also you should never use  since 9 times out of 10 the JavaScript will not work correctly and 10 times out of 10 you are attacking those without JavaScript by really stuffing them up.
If you really can't spare the couple of minutes to do that then what you need to use is:
<button onclick='DoSomething("str\"ing")'>
You can't use the same quote in both HTML and JavaScript when you jumble them together because then the escape doesn't work because it needs the way you need to escape it for HTML is invalid JavaScript and the JavaScript escape is invalid HTML.
Oh. Yep. That\'s easier. Don\'t use custom attributes!
Ok thanks to everyone, but the only thing I can do in the context of where it is, is what r51 suggested (I actually implemented this right after my post)...
Yes, in a website it's no good to use onclick= or href="javascript and custom html attributes, and its better to have the JS in another file. But there are places and reasons that make you do those things, and I have one of those here (its not even a website).
Thanks to felgall too but I think you missed the fact that when using your example, then the inside string cannot have single quotes... Which it can have sometimes too ...
Anyway, thanks to you all for your replies ! The most versatile way with the restrictions that apply is to use a custom html attribute indeed ...
As I said - you can't use the same quotes in both HTML and JavaScript when jumbling them together. That means no JavaScript single quotes inside HTML single quotes and no JavaScript double quotes inside HTML double quotes.
Well, if you just escape the double quotes to " and replace " back by " inside the called JS function, you can actually allow the contents of the custom HTML attribute to have single AND double quotes.
That assumes that the JavaScript is going to be output as HTML. If the JavaScript text were being used for something else then converting " to " is not an appropriate conversion since those two are only equivalent in HTML.
The simple solution is to not mix JavaScript and HTML in the same file as it is completely unnecessary and just makes things more complicated when they clash.
As I stated in the very first message, i'm aware of this, and the best practice rules for JS and whatnot cannot be applied in every environment because there are some other reasons to sometimes do otherwise. anyway I do agree about " but since it is output inside a custom html attribute ...
Other visiitors to the forum may find this thread when they are trying to do something similar. Since their situation may not be identical to yours indicating the problems with the solution that works for you and what the best practice is means that they can do it right if they don't have the restriction that prevents you doing it properly (presumably the code is on an external site where you can't upload separate JavaScript).

Once the go-to guy for fluffy romcoms, Matthew McConaughey is now one of the most exciting actors in Hollywood - with an Oscar nomination to boot. He tells Susan Griffin all about his toughest role to date.
It might only be February but it's already shaping up to be Matthew McConaughey's year. There's been his scene-stealing cameo in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street, as well as a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Oscar nomination for his role as a homophobic Aids patient in Dallas Buyers Club.
It's been a whirl of red carpet events which, as glamorous as they are, can be long, drawn out affairs. Thankfully, he has his Dallas co-star and fellow Oscar nominee, Jared Leto, on hand with a few snacks. "Oh, he has bags of popcorn. He comes in with grocery bags of things so I've been partaking in a few of those," says McConaughey, grinning, and looking toned and tanned in jeans, a tight grey T-shirt and leather jacket.
He also lives by one rule - keep a clear head.
"I like wine but if I'm presenting, then I do it after that. I actually like to hit the stage without anything, but after that, I always have a glass," says the 44-year-old in his Texan drawl.
He'll want a clear head for the Academy Awards on March 2, as he's in with a strong chance of walking off with the golden statuette.
"I wasn't looking for a result but I did know when I read the script that this could be something special, and it's the kind of story that if we pulled it off, was something that could get recognition."
It's based on the true tale of Ron Woodroof, a man McConaughey describes as "a cantankerous b*****d with a wicked sense of humour".
"He's a guy who's easy to hate, yet you can't help but love him," he adds. "But when people are true to themselves like that, you realise, 'Man, that's just who he is', and you end up caring about him."
In 1985, Woodroof was diagnosed with HIV and given 30 days to live. The condition had already been ravaging the nation's gay community and Woodroof, a womanising, rodeo-riding electrician, was one of millions who saw Aids as "that gay disease".
Ostracised by friends and co-workers following his diagnosis, Woodroof was determined to survive and became a walking encyclopaedia of anti-viral meds, pharmaceutical trials, Food And Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and court decisions.
He not only survived for seven years but helped save lives by establishing a way in which HIV-positive people could access his alternative treatments - through the Dallas Buyers Club.
"Rage, that was what he was dealing with on every level," explains McConaughey. "I'm sure he was p***ed at God and he was p***ed at the FDA and that same emotion, which bore traits in him that some people found despicable, kept him alive for seven years. Rage is the emotion that gets more things done than any other. Like it or not, for good or bad, it causes action."
It's a tour-de-force performance, and one which required McConaughey, a sports fan often papped buffing up on the beach, to lose 47lbs.
"It was hard but, as an actor, to have something that you can give your full singular focus and commitment to for six months was wonderful," says the star, whose emaciated figure in the film makes him unrecognisable. "I never got complacent and that physical transformation and weight loss really structured my life, which helped me commit to what I needed to do."
He basically became a hermit. "I surrounded myself with everything Ron Woodroof, cancelled my social engagements, couldn't go out in the sunshine - and enjoyed every minute of it."
McConaughey credits his wife, the Brazilian model and designer Camila Alves, with whom he has three children under six, Levi, Vida and Livingston, for helping him through the process.
"I'm very fortunate, I have a highly supportive wife and family," he says. "Part of the support comes in insulating me so I can do the work I need to do and the other part, that's not expected, is when your wife's getting up with you at 4.30am. She doesn't need to do that and she's going, 'Go conquer', not just 'Have a nice day'. It's nice to have that support."
The film's producer, Robbie Brenner, always had McConaughey in mind for the role, saying: "Like Ron, he's from Dallas, he's handsome and he has a twinkle in the eye. Matthew also has intensity and intelligence like Ron did, mixed with that cowboy charisma and fighter's spirit. He was beyond perfect for the role."
McConaughey recalls his agent sending the script over to him. "I read it, I loved it and I remember saying, 'Make sure I stay attached to it, do not let me lose this'," recalls the actor, who rose to prominence in 1996's A Time To Kill, then spent the Noughties in romcoms before embarking on a new career phase with dark dramas like The Paperboy and Killer Joe.
"There are some scripts I get where I go, 'I like this' and then because I check in every six months, I might let one go if it's not sticking with me. This one stuck with me. It was incredibly human, with no sentimentality."
It would take another three years before the cameras started rolling and it "only became real eight or nine days before we started shooting".
Physical transformation aside, McConaughey prepared by listening to tapes of Woodroof, meeting with his family and reading his diaries. From this, he gained a new admiration for the man he'd be portraying on screen. "At the beginning of this journey he's a two-bit cowboy, and by the end of it, he's a damn scientist," states the actor, who wasn't interested in making "a message film" or a documentary about Aids. "This is a dramatic film about one man's life."
Having walked in Woodroof's shoes, he's contemplated what he would do in that situation - lay down and die, or fight for survival?
"I tell you, Ron Woodroof didn't regress and reassess," notes McConaughey. "I've not been in that position but instinctually and in my soul, I work from a life-affirming place, and I'm not going to go easy if I have a chance to fight for life."

From Wikipedia, it is the position that there is design, purpose, directive principle, or finality in the works and processes of nature, and the philosophical study of that purpose. Another definition in Principia cybernetica. Dysteleology would be the antonym.

Is all our lexical research disteleological or teleological?
The pie background for tele-:"study of final causes," 1740, from Mod.L. teleologia, coined 1728 by Ger. philosopher Baron Christian von Wolff (1679-1754) from Gk. teleos "entire, perfect, complete," prop. gen. of telos "end, goal, result;" see tele- + -logia.

HBO's political talk show Real Time With Bill Maher averaged 1.4 million viewers on Friday, marking the biggest audience for the show in almost eight years. The episode fell between the hot-button GOP and Democratic national conventions and featured a tense interview between Maher — an ardent supporter of President Obama who earlier this year donated $1M to his re-election campaign — and filmmaker-author Dinesh D'Souza. D'Souza made the anti-Obama documentary 2016 Obama's America, which finished in the top 10 at the weekend box office this past frame and is now the fifth-highest-grossing political documentary of all time, most recently surpassing Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. A combined 1.9 million watched the episode across two plays Friday night.
'Real Time With Bill Maher' Nets Biggest Audience In 8 Years
25 Comments
I love Bill and this was a great episode, but he needs to get off Obama's tit and start pushing for a 3rd party.
Maher made that guy look like an idiot. You could tell after he left the conversation that he was thoroughly disgusted. He also did a number on that other republican guy – Ron Christie. Maher got so pissed off he said something that really hit home – "This is the problem I have with Republicans. We can't even agree on the facts!" Good episode.
Yeah, Maher made an award winning film maker look like an idiot by pandering to his pot head audiance and insulting people with snide remarks. Problem is when he is presented with actual facts he studders and claims he is simply a comedian. The only people who think Maher is anything but a 2nd rate comic are his immature followers who get their news from the Jon Stewert show.
Um, Aleric, you would be way easier to believe if you knew how to spell "stutter." Pinhead.
"Here's the difference between Bill Maher and Rush Limbaugh — Bill Maher's fans KNOW he's an asshole." -Jimmy Kimmel
Pretty sure Rush's fans know he's an asshole, it's just he's their kind of asshole. Same applies to Maher, so really, their is no difference.
Correct – all politicians and their die-hard supporters ARE A..H…. Or at lest the majority (not 51% but 95%). They constantly lie and exaggerate so WHY do Americans worship them, as IF they could or would do something GOOD for our country???
wHAT SHOW WERE YOU WATCHING???? He made mahar look stupid!
Proving once again that the only way for Dems to get an audience is to invite conservatives into their tent
Bill Maher is so out of touch with the real people of USA that he is pathetic. And when he is on tv, I make sure I turn my channel.
How convenient that this movie came out right before the election… it was probably funded by the Koch Brothers…. The movie is so out of touch with reality… Dinesh's next film should by a Sci-FI flick.. He seems to have a handle on that genre….
Very convenient, too bad it didn't come out before the '08 election. It wasn't funded by the Koch brothers but it's executive producer also produced Schindler's List among other films and knows a winning product when he sees it. Didn't see anything in the film that was out of touch with reality, Dinesh was spot on, please point out any specifics because you sound like you haven't even seen the film. Dinesh doesn't need Sci-Fi because with the left, truth is so much stranger than fiction.
It is the only episode of "Unreal Time" I've watched in ages. Anyone who thought that Maher got the better of Mr. D'Souza is clueless.
Ahem, …this is the problem I have with Democrats. We can't even agree on the facts! Over the last few weeks we've had a parade of documented cases of blatant, over-the-top lies by prominent Democrats and yet Mr. Maher has had attention deficit disorder with regard to the obvious.
Biggest ratings because "Dynamite Dinesh" was on. Thx Dinesh for all your research…of the hidden lies from Obama and his ultimate goal of depleting the wealth in the US.
It's silly to say that "Maher destroyed him".
That makes you look like a leftist fanboi.
Dsouza is a real intellectual despite what the media reports.
Maher is a second rate comedian who hasn't made a living by that trade in over a decade.
He's a leftist PR man. A media hype boy for the left.
You'd think people would get tired of that but our kids are so drugged out they only care who Lady Gaga or whichever latest pop idiot votes for.
I enjoy robust political debate, but with Maher it always gets personal. The way he treats his guests is if you disagree with him, you are biggest idiot who ever walked the earth.
he claims to be a libertarian and he claims that our taxes are too low…so instead of donating $1 million to the Obama campaign, why didn't he just send the IRS the check?
Believe it, the truth shall prevail. Thanks to everyone who helped get this truth out. We must never tire of the truth seeking. "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart"- Galatians 6:9 nkjv
Kudos for Dinesh D'Souza! He did what the press should have done years ago – investigate and publish the facts about the life of Barack Hussein Obama. Patricia Wulf
The best thing to do about Maher is to send HBO a message that because Maher is so despicable you are cancelling HBO, it's what I did.
I did the same thing with NBC, CBS and ABC, I refuse to watch any show they have and tell everyone not to watch so there rating get low and lose advertising dollars
I thought the interviews Dinesh had with Pres Obama's family and grandfathers friends were compelling. Hard to dispute when it comes from their own lips. Helped me to understand why Pres Obama says some of the things he does (on and off) mic. If you support him, this film may encourage you. If you don't, at least you'll know why.
Whether or not the film incites controversy over its facts or its rhetoric is inconsequential to my voting habits. In every election, we're only given two clear choices: Right or Left.
You can present a compelling case for how electing Obama to a second term is tantamount to our collective destruction… but at the end of the day, I am a social Liberal. And the Left sides with equal rights for all Americans, and freedom of choice.
God and country are not one in the same. If that were the case, if the religious Right wants to inject the teachings of God in our policies, then I say the church should start paying taxes. Why not? If they can influence elections, laws, legislation, then they can offer up their fair share.
A much wiser man than all of us wrote an article about the separation of church and state. That's the way it should be. I won't vote for the Right because I fundamentally disagree with every social issue they stand for. And when I cast my ballot on November 6th, the social issues, the issues that matter most for me in my life, I'll vote for the Left… because there's not a better option on the Right or in the middle.
Now, if you asked me what my views were on gun rights, capital punishment, and foreign policy… my inner conservative might show. But those pillars aren't enough for me to turn away from my social obligations.
Well, these comments seem to support Maher's claim that it is hard to even have a discussion because the parties disagree about the nature of the universe. It all may just boil down to that.
I admit, I find it hard to shed my own bias and, hard as I try, I just don't understand the worldview of the other side. I sensed genuine candor from Maher that just didn't seem (to me) to be evident in D'Souza or Christie. They just seemed to have an apologetic style of ideological defense. Christie especially. I realize that this seems bias, but I have noticed candor on the right before. For example, Santorum seemed quite candid during some of the debates where he talked about politics being a team support, and in his remarks of the constitutionality of the NDAA.
My hope is dwindling that any improvement in the lines of communication will happen any time soon.
I cannot believe that the liberal dems are actually not looking at this movie and asking themselves, "What have we done?". If we continue to allow the dems to control our country, next will be what we are allowed to say, then what we are allowed to think and finally, what we are allowed to obtain. Look, I am not a highly educated man, I dropped out of high school in the 11th grade. But because of the truths and rights this country was founded on, I was able to work hard, educate myself with experience, take chances and fail only to learn how to succeed and never once, took a government hand to do it that wasn't repaid by my service to this country. I am now in the top 3% of income earners in the USA and I have worked for every ounce of it. If we as a country allow his dreams to become a reality, some of us (the ones who don't like to work or have learned to live off of Govt subsidies) will be very happy. While the people who have been to the bottom and clawed and scrathed and fought their way back to the top will more than likely fight to keep this great country great. Bill Maher is terribly misinformed and should really examine the source of his material. I will not say he is an idiot like others on here, I will simply say, that someone needs to wake him up. If he really loved and was worried about his country, he has the option to write a $1M check to the IRS to pay his fair share. I know I do.
When did this forum become a right wing propaganda blog? No one has mentioned the fact that Maher was only restating his agreement with Dinesh when he was fired from Politically correct in 2001. Maher confronted him with the fact that Dinesh ran for cover when Maher got the Bush propaganda treatment and lost his job. Like Maher said "You ran off like a rat…" It was a payback to an obsequious propagandist who makes sounds like a reasonable person, only to slink away when the bill comes due.

>Racing>Happy Dopple Bock Day!
My Fellow Americans
Peoples of All Foreign Lands
As you may recall, one year ago today, our very own Mikey "The Pig" Henze (a.k.a. Dopple Bock) as part of a team led by Scott Jurek, won a bronze medal for the United States at the 24 Hour World Championships in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France. Of that glorious occasion, Jurek wrote, "Team USA men placed third for the bronze medal with a heroic late surge and PR by Michael Henze and a solid PR performance by Serge Arbona."
On that day, some here suggested that this event be memorialized as Dopple Bock Day, making it the very first runnningAHEAD.com holiday. And so, it is with abundant joy, that I wish you all a very happy and healthy Dopple Bock Day.

How long does it take to get something built?
What is the process of buying from you?
How can I check the status of my item?
Can you build a project from a picture?
What is custom furniture? Back to FAQ Back to Top
Custom furniture is any item that we have not built or designed before. It could also include modification in color or design on one of our existing pieces. These can be items ranging from a simple end table to an elaborate bedroom suite. With custom furniture you pick the size, color, style, wood choice, and hardware. Some of the items may catch our attention and we will turn them into production items, but that doesn't mean that all pieces will be the same. usually each time I build one I will change something to improve its price, style, or the way it functions.
How long does it take to get something built? Back to FAQ Back to Top
It depends on our current schedule. Most of the time it takes 4-6 weeks. The actually building of most projects takes a week or less to build. The rest of the time is for scheduling the project. Rush orders are available at an additional charge. If you need a current lead time or a rush quote, let us know by using our quote form.
What type of wood do you use? Back to FAQ Back to Top
We mainly use oak, maple, pine, and MDF. Even though these are our most popular, we can use any species that you want. We can even get exotic woods. We have built desks out of Tamo Ash from Japan and Burl Walnut. We are not limited to anything. As always we don't use any particle board. See a few samples on our wood link.
How are items priced? Back to FAQ Back to Top
Each item is priced on an individual basis. When you email a quote form we will figure the cost of material, labor and, if needed, shipping. This is a no obligation quote, and we will stand behind the quote for 15 days. After that time the quote will have to be resubmitted to compensate for changes in costs. Some items, unless noted in the quote or offer, are standard. Such as, allowing $2.50 per drawer for hardware. If you choose a higher priced pull, the difference is charged. We will give you as much information as possible during the offer. Items listed on our web site are priced as shown. Minwax stains can be substituted at no additional charge. We can match a custom paint or stain for an additional charge of $50 per color.
What are your stock colors? Back to FAQ Back to Top
We use Minwax stains. We do this because samples are available in most "Home Stores" or from their web site, (see Minwax samples) The colored lacquers stocked include our baseball Blue and Green, Racecar Red, Black, and Barbie Pink.
If a sample is needed, contact us and we will send one out to you.
What about shipping? Back to FAQ Back to Top
On smaller items and even our baseball bed we use transport companies such as UPS or DHL. The larger items require larger freight companies. To keep the shipping cost down, we quote on an individual basis to your zip code. This way we can compare prices from many companies. UPS and DHL regularly ship to your front door. Most of the time freight companies will not deliver to your door without an additional fee (usually $60-$100). If needed we could arrange home delivery with an installation service (we are currently working on this). When you send your quote form be sure to inform us of your delivery and shipping preference. IMPORTANT: Upon delivery, be sure to inspect each box and note any damage before the shipping company leaves.

We try to keep this as up-to-date as possible, but sometimes we get busy building. Please feel free to email me if the date is not current and I will be glad to bring you up to date. We also have a Current Projects link to show you exactly what we are working on each day.
Can you build a project from a picture? Back to FAQ Back to Top
We can, but due to copyright laws will not build it exactly as pictured. If you like that furniture the way it is then we suggest that you purchase it directly from that source. However if it is a picture of something in a design book, a friend's photo, or something similar to what you want, then we can use that picture. We can also use pictures of furniture that you already have to get the style or theme. Send any pictures that will be helpful in the design process.
Do you do drawings? Back to FAQ Back to Top
Yes, we do, but on quotes I usually will not send them, because of the time involved. If you require one I could send a quick hand sketch to help with your decision. On most cabinets, I can do a computer drawing and place it in a room setting. For this service, we require a $60 down payment, which will be applied to the cost of your furniture.
What is the process of buying from you? Back to FAQ Back to Top
1. Find what you are looking for. You have many sources
-An idea you came up with yourself. Send us a sketch. Scan it to us in the quote request.
-Similar to a piece you've seen elsewhere. Take a picture, copy the link and send it to us by our quote form.
2. Let us give you a quote by filling out our quote form.
3. Maybe correspond back and forth a few times if needed to fully under stand what you want.
4. After we agree, put your 20% down payment on the piece.

8. Enjoy your custom crafted piece. :)

Hello, I have not found many Glade 'hits' at this forum. Is it not a common tool to use for GUI for Python? I have just recently started using Python and want to use a GUI interface.
Most of my experimentation is done on a Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) PC, however I have also installed Python on a XP-PRO based laptop and it seems to execute with no problems.
In searching for a Glades for Windows I see that it does exist and I found a *.exe download.
My current situation is the Windows laptop can not access the Internet.
Question: If I download (using Linux) the exe file and copy to the Windows PC using a thumb drive, will it install with no problems? I am wondering if there are issues installing it after Python is already installed and running on the Windows PC?
I have used other *.exe files and a *.msi file to accomplish sucessful Windows install(s) of other applications and hoping the *.exe download is all that is required and no separate PATH or setup issues?
Thanks for any assist.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Former University of Florida quarterback Doug Johnson stands accused of felony battery by Gainesville police following an attack that left a Gators fan hospitalized, a police spokesman told Local 6.
Joe Cappelletti, 28, told police he was a victim of an unprovoked attack right after the UF-LSU game last October. At the time, Cappelletti told Local 6 his nose was broken in eight places and that he required surgery.
When Local 6 first broke the story last October, police didn't have suspects identified, but after continuing to work the case, police identified Johnson as their suspect and in November filed a sworn complaint alleging felony battery with the state attorney's office serving Alachua County.
Johnson, who played for the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL after his time with the Gators, pleaded not guilty, according to Alachua County court records. In addition to police filing the complaint against the former Gators quarterback, Andrew Greer was also named as a co-defendant, a GPD spokesman told Local 6.
The state attorney's office has not decided whether it will move forward with formal charges from its office, as the prosecutor is still reviewing the situation and taking testimony, according to spokesman Spencer Mann. There's no timeline on that decision.
As the legal process plays out, Cappelletti told Local 6 he's hoping for justice.
Local 6 is in the process of obtaining additional documents detailing the incident.

(Reuters) - Even an eye-catching NFL debut by running back Bryce Brown failed to halt Philadelphia's downward slide as the Carolina Panthers beat the nose-diving Eagles 30-22 on Monday.
Brown, a rookie who had never even started in college, lit up the Panthers for 178 yards rushing and two touchdowns but it was not enough to avoid a seventh successive Eagles defeat.
Both NFC teams have disappointing 3-8 records.
The Panthers have seen most of their losses come via late-game mishaps, but Cam Newton made sure there was no such outcome in Philadelphia.
"We wanted to get the momentum back on our side and finish," the second-year quarterback told reporters.
"It means a lot (doing it) on prime-time in front of America. We just have to get our confidence back and finish the season strong."
Carolina trailed 22-21 in the third before one of Philadelphia's three lost fumbles set up a go-ahead field goal by kicker Graham Gano.
Newton took over from there, capping a 60-yard drive in the fourth quarter with a two-yard running score for the winning margin.
Newton had a rare banner day in a tough season as he finished with 306 yards passing, two scores in the air and another two on the ground.
The Eagles played without concussed starters Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy, which opened the door for Brown, who provided some spectacular plays in another Philadelphia loss.
Newton put the Eagles in a hole early with two long TD passes in the first quarter that gave the Panthers a 14-3 lead, triggering boos from the Philadelphia crowd.
In the second quarter, Brown exploded onto the scene with a 65-yard scoring run and Philadelphia added two Alex Henery field goals to take a 15-14 edge at halftime.
For all of his head-turning plays, Brown fumbled twice and was also stopped on a fourth-and-one run attempt in the fourth.
"The most important thing for me was for us to get the win and that didn't happen tonight," said Brown. "I felt like a lot of that had to do with my two turnovers. It really cost us."
Philadelphia's final possession ended with Brandon Boykin fumbling a kickoff return, giving Carolina the ball back and letting them run out the clock, underlining their season so far.

A classic megayacht kit, and a man who could put her back together.
By Ben Ellison — February 2003
In the photograph above, it's May 20, 1901, and the spanking-new 126-foot steam yacht Cangarda is about to head out into the Delaware River on her first trial run. Most of us can appreciate how her clipper bow, low-slung sheer, and dashingly raked masts and stack all beautifully reflect the great age of sail then just winding down. But few of us can picture every detail of how this vessel was built and operated a century ago, let alone how someone might gloriously restore her from the forlorn hulk and warehouse of dusty parts now residing in a Fairhaven, Massachusetts, shipyard.
Lo and behold, it turns out that just such a man lives up the road from me here in Camden, Maine. For years I've been aware of Capt. Steve Cobb's multifarious career in boats. Since graduation from Maine Maritime Academy in 1972, he's skippered pleasure yachts of all stripes, plus tall ships, passenger schooners, diesel and steam tugs, museum vessels, and more--the list of notable names like Wavertree, Nantucket, and Sarina is very long indeed. He's also managed some serious refits and advised several significant maritime organizations. While long impressed with all this, I was not prepared for where such experience and passion could take a fellow like Cobb when entranced with a vessel like Cangarda.
As Cobb gazes at the launch photo, he can almost hear the slight hiss of steam behind him as he imagines preparing to take her off the dock from the open bridge on her forward house. In his mind's eye, the fitting-out is now complete. Steadying sails are neatly furled to the pennant-topped masts, and the enormous ensign snaps to the breeze aft. Fine small craft sit between the pairs of tapered davits, and the full set of white canvas awnings are stretched out on their frames to protect smartly dressed passengers from coal dust and smoke. That bituminous smell mixes with the odors of manila rigging and red leather-encased furniture arranged on oiled-pine decks. Cobb is wearing the appropriate white-brimmed hat and dark-blue, narrow-labeled, high-buttoned outfit; his deck and engine hands are in white, almost in defiance of the coal.
Mind you that Cangarda is a "bell boat," meaning she lacks that classic brass "full ahead" to "full astern" engine telegraph we might expect; instead captain and engineer communicate via a large bell, a little bell, and a code. Cobb knows the codes as well as the ever-so-deliberate pace of steam power. The chief--along with his fireman and oiler--would have been getting "a head of steam up" for hours, building a coal fire just so, then slowly easing steam to the yacht's seven engines, opening petcocks here and there to drain off condensation until all machinery is warm and ready.

HelloI have been working in Photoshop for a long time. I have made many web elements like banners, buttons, ads , flyers etc. But I always suffered from the problem of typography. I know what typography is. I have saw many tutorials on typography but they are not helping. Each time I made a web element it has been refused because of the typography. I also suffer from the ratio of fonts comparing to the web element size. Please give suggestion. If possible try to give some practical lesson links that are based on the web elements typography.Thanks
Hi tanjilovi. Don't know if this will help at all, but I just found out about this site the other day, and it seems pretty cool to me: http://typecast.com/
There are, of course, some good books on typography, too.
What do you mean by this?
I also suffer from the ratio of fonts comparing to the web element size.
Hi ralph.m By that sentence I wanted to know about the size of fonts in different banners. For example I have made a banner ad of size 120x600 and put some text on that. Now I will make another banner ad of 160 x 600 . What will be the size of the fonts then ? I know that I have to increase the font size. I have tried to do that but I failed. I have submitted my works in different sites . They like the design but problems is in the typography. And thanks for the link. I am having a look at that at this moment.If any one has any suggestions they are most welcomed.
Are you talking about in Photoshop or in CSS? I'm still not clear. Anyhow, I don't think there is any rule for theat afont size must be, as such. Not being trained in graphic design, I use my eye to tell if something is in proportion or not. Ultimately, that's what clients and site visitors will use, too.
I looked at the url. This is not the typography I am talking about. I want to know about typography in web elements made by Adobe Photoshop . But thanks for the reply.
That seems like an oxymoron to me. Photoshop really has nothing to do with web elements. :-/
For ratios you really have to use a combination of MATH and and artistic sensibilities, you cant just rely on the program ( PS or any other program). The math is simple but the nuances are complicated. I tend to do it by eye then check my math. If you were thinking ahead when when you started the project you probably use PS's text box tool as opposed to inline text, if this is the case you can reshape the bounding box until it ROUGHLY fits your new banner, and produces pleasing line breaks at the new proportions. You can then fine tune the size using TRANSFORM>SCALE. After that , it's a good idea but not necessary , to check your actual font size on the Type window, to make sure you dont have fractional px sizes or haven accidentally altered the height/width ratio of your font.
I am working now with the text box tool. The box can be created by selecting the type tool and by dragging a box is created. I wonder How I missed that thing But this is not that helpful because after writing a line the other lines seems to be merged with the first line. And I have already tried the maths technique. It is easy! But these maths doesn't always work. Actually I am using unitary methods. Does the PS have any math option of it's own ? Please tell me about it.And the transform tools are used if you have a good knowledge of ratio. ( I mean the artistic sensibility you already mentioned. ) Thanks for the reply. I came to learn a new thing (text box) from your reply thanks. Please give more suggestions.
after writing a line the other lines seems to be merged with the first line. You can still select individual, lines, words or characters and use type control to alter text individually using the Character palette.
Also you can write text in separate lines and LOCK LAYERS , when you scale one of those layers ALL will scale proportionately. The thing is that what you are looking for is not a proportional scaling but "adapting" and to be honest I don't think there will ever be a program that will be able to do that. Aesthetics are subjective and unique to human sensibilities.
That sounds line you have the line height set to 0 or something low.
Look at the screen snip that I have put on this post, Select the Text Tool (T) and click on the Palette to get the options panel open. Where the second circle is, make sure it is set to Auto or spend some time playing with different settings to get the gap between lines to what you need.

Did you know?
Phinda Game Reserve is renowned for its exceptional ecological diversity.
Imagine a scene of overgrazed farmland, overgrown bush and rusting fences. That was over two decades ago. Today, Vlei Lodge, one of six safari lodges in the &Beyond group's Phinda Private Game Reserve, sits in the shade of a sand forest amidst luxuriant bush teeming with game and wildlife.
Vlei Lodge is part of this conservation miracle, where over 23 000ha of overgrazed land has been restored to its former pristine state. It's no coincidence that phinda is the Zulu word for 'return'.
Vlei Lodge sits on the edge of the sand forest – one of five wildly different ecosystems in the reserve, including sand forest, lush wetlands, bushveld, savannah and open woodland.
The spacious individual suites are built of thatch and wood, their décor blending sage green and cream colours with wooden floors and floor-to-ceiling windows: the result is an organic feel reflecting the natural world outside.
Now and again there's a painting of a pineapple to remind you that over 20 years ago this area was once a pineapple farm.
Sit out on your wraparound wooden viewing deck and soak up the views and the passing animal and bird show.
Suite six is a mecca for thirsty elephants who regard the plunge pool as their private watering hole, while if you sit at suite five's pool on a hot day at noon, you could well see up to 20 species of birds come to sip water, including the purple-crested turaco, the grey waxbill and the green twinspot.
Antelope graze around the lodge and the Big Five are all here. And aside from lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant sightings, you stand the chance of some of the most exceptional cheetah sightings in the country.

ALMOST 6,300 fans were treated to a pulsating East Lancs derby at the JD Stadium on Friday night as Bury battled to a well-earned point against local rivals promotion hopefuls Rochdale.
While there were no goals to marvel at, the thousands of people watching the game live inside the ground and on Sky TV were treated to a thrilling end to end spectacle.
Manager David Flitcroft is hopeful his side's determined display will have won them a few more supporters to add to this season's average home league gate of 3,166.
"If the word spreads and we are successful and win games then people will come through the turnstile because everyone wants to be part of a successful team," said Flitcroft, whose side are unbeaten at home under his guidance but have won just two of their seven matches at the JD Stadium since his appointment.
"I think once they come and enjoy the experience then we will get them back.
"The board are trying everything, on every front, to get people to come down just to sample it, find out what it's about.
"If you don't enjoy it then you will make your own mind up, but at least come down and see what we are about.
"We are trying to make a difference."
Bury chairman Stewart Day cranked up the pressure on Flitcroft last week, setting a target of promotion from League Two next campaign in what will be the club's 130th anniversary season.
He made the statement in an open letter to supporters on the announcement of the latest season ticket prices, which will be a reasonable £250 for adults, with reductions for concessions and families.
The plan is to create a team that will boost the Shakers gates to help fund the ultimate ambition of Championship football at the JD Stadium.
And Flitcroft believes that, despite ending the weekend in 20th place in League Two after results elsewhere went against them, great strides have already been made in that direction.
"Daniel Nardiello and Jim McNulty for me were two stand-out signings (in the January transfer window)," he said.
"If you have got aspirations of getting out of this league you have got to sign that type of player.
"The chairman has seen that, he's ultra professional off the pitch and he wants to get out of the league.
"That's why I have come here because this football club deserves to get out of this league, but we will only do that by hard work and a unified effort.
"Certainly, the chairman will back my team and our judgement because we plan together, we strategise together and we are going to build together.
"He's got a relentless approach to making Bury as good as it can be because he is hell-bent on that, which is brilliant for me because I am quite demanding myself and he's demanding the highest standards from everyone who works at Bury Football Club."

Gloria racks up raft of sales
EXCLUSIVE: Sebastian Lelio's Gloria, the buzz film in this year's Berlinale Competition, has provoked a mini-stampede among buyers.
Following the US acquisition of the Chilean film by Roadside Attractions, other distributors are negotiating to acquire the title — one of the few contenders for the Golden Bear that has sparked real enthusiasm among both audiences and critics.
Gloria has now gone to the UK (Network Releasing), Benelux (Wild Bunch Benelux), France (Ad Vitam), German-speaking territories (Alamode), Switzerland (Filmcoopi), Spain (Vertigo), former Yugoslavia (Discovery), Greece and Cyprus (Strada), Chile (BF Distribution), Brazil (Imovision) and Colombia/Ecuador (Babilla Cine).
Funny Balloons' sales and acquisitions exec Peter Danner confirmed that every other major territory was already in negotiations and that many other deals would close shortly.
Gloria is about a 58-year-old divorcee whose children have left home and who is looking for love. The film stars Paulina Garcia.

My Friend, my memory A childhood friend, who gave all while some of us came home. Fathers Day 2007 made me reflect, 40 years ago I was the son at war and 40 years later I was the father at home with the son at war.
My condolences in the death of your friend. I, too, lost a cousin in Vietnam. I will pray that your son comes home safely from the war.
21 September 1967 — Con Thien, Vietnam
Rank and Organization: Lance Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, Company F, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines, 3d Marine Division (Rein), FMF
Place and date: Near Con Thien, Republic of Vietnam, 21 September 1967
Entered service at: Park Ridge, NJ
Born: 20 June 1945, Franklin, NH
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a machine gunner with Company F.
During a reconnaissance operation L/Cpl. BARKER's squad was suddenly hit by enemy sniper fire. The squad immediately deployed to a combat formation and advanced to a strongly fortified enemy position, when it was again struck by small arms and automatic weapons fire, sustaining numerous casualties. Although wounded by the initial burst of fire, L/Cpl. BARKER boldly remained in the open, delivering a devastating volume of accurate fire on the numerically superior force. The enemy was intent upon annihilating the small marine force and, realizing that L/Cpl. BARKER was a threat to their position, directed the preponderance of their fire on his position. He was again wounded, this time in the right hand, which prevented him from operating his vitally needed machinegun.
Suddenly and without warning, an enemy grenade landed in the midst of the few surviving marines. Unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his personal safety, L/Cpl. BARKER threw himself upon the deadly grenade, absorbing with his body the full and tremendous force of the explosion. In a final act of bravery, he crawled to the side of a wounded comrade and administered first aid before succumbing to his grievous wounds.
His bold initiative, intrepid fighting spirit and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of almost certain death undoubtedly saved his comrades from further injury or possible death and reflected great credit upon himself, the Marine Corps, and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
Signed: Richard M. Nixon
Note: L/Cpl. Barker is also entitled to the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with one campaign star, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with bronze palm, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Service Medal.
Some things I'd like to say,
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above
where there's no more tears
or sadness there
is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly
as part of My big plan
there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there
to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those loving years
because you're only human
they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain
remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God has planned
but if I were to tell you
you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before
And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World
so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody
who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain
And now I am contented
that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand to pick him up
as on your way you go
When you are walking
down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free
remember you're not going
you are coming here to me
And I will always love you
from that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon
P.S. God sends His Love

In the State of Illinois, the Motor Fuel Sales Act requires gas stations to provide refueling assistance to people with disabilities. Specifically, the law requires any gas station operating with more than one attendant to provide assistance at a self-serve pump when requested by a person driving a car with a valid "Persons with Disabilities" license plate, decal, or placard. Such assistance may be requested by honking or otherwise signaling an employee, and the assistance must be provided without any additional charge beyond the self-serve price.
The law does not require gas station attendants to perform any "full-service" services other than refuelling and makes it illegal for people to request assistance if they do not actually need it.
For more information, see:
The following table lists all the gas stations in Illinois as registered with the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Weights and Measures. This list does not include stations in Chicago, Cicero, Evanston, Granite City, Oak Park, and Schaumburg.
