Darren was extremely helpful. I may not need his services but he still helped me understand my rights and the insurance companies obligations. If I do end up needing representation Darren will definitely be my guy

I most Definitely would highly recommend Attorney Darren Tobin! When I was seriously injured and overwhelmed in a multi-vehicle accident Darren was there for me every step of the way! He was very compassionate, professional, knowledgeable and articulate dealing with all the complicated aspects of my case. He encouraged me to "Focus" on Physical Therapy, Dr. appts and getting better while he did all the "leg work" and dealt with the at-fault parties, Court preparation, medical bills and general legal stuff! He's very dedicated to getting Justice for his Clients. Also he explained everything in detail and was always very accessible and updated me regularly on the status of my case. It was such a Relief to know that Darren and his staff were working so HARD for me! I was very Pleased with the compensation I received to settle out of Court! I have to Credit and Appauld Darren and his efficient friendly staff of BUTLER/TOBIN .... Thank you so much!!

I consulted Darren regarding a personal injury case involving my motorcycle accident and broken pelvis. His professional guidance and friendly counsel led me to a $40,000 settlement - affording me the opportunity to take care of my physical health with the appropriate medical professionals. I appreciate Darren's work and he is someone I trust.

Darren did excellent work. he vigilantly fought for me and got great result.

Mr. Tobin is the best lawyer, in my opinion! English is not my first language, and somethings were hard for me to understand at first. Mr. Tobin took his time, and carefully explained everything until I understood. When I had questions, either by phone or email, I got a very quick response back. Not only did I receive the most understanding consultation, he also got me a win, and a wonderful settlement for my case! I know who I will recommend to my friends and family, from now on!

Darren was very knowledgeable about the claim process and explained what I could expect. He was always available and patient. I felt very comfortable accepting his recommendations with regard to when and what to accept as final settlement of my automobile collision claim.

I has an overwhelmingly positive experience working with Mr. Tobin on my motor vehicle injury case. I know I'm not the only one lucky enough to have found him, but you would swear he was at your beck and call by the amount of personal attention he gives to his clients. He kept me feeling virtually stress free during my case by walking me through it step-by-step and remaining a pillar of support- both in his pursuit of justice and his personable manner. Mr. Tobin is a no-gimmick real lawyer who gets real results for real people.
Posted by Sue
I received very important information from Mr. Tobin regarding a car accident that I had. I was unfamiliar with the claims process and he explained the correct path to begin this process. I sincerely appreciate his guidance.
Posted by anonymous
I was referred to Darren by a close friend of mine. My mom was in a car accident and we were trying to seek guidance on how to file claims, work with insurance companies, and someone we could trust to guide us through the process. Darren never even knew me, but he still took my call when I contacted his office. I asked him many questions and he answered every one of them in a clear and simple way. From just a short time working with Darren, he is someone I immediately felt comfortable with. Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me and your continued support. It's nice to know that I have found a lawyer that has my best interest in mind.
Posted by Dan
I was introduced to Darren through a family friend after being involved in an outrageous shooting incident. Being new to the US and it's culture I was hesitant to take matters further, wishing not to re-live the experience. As a result of the tremendous efforts of Darren and Butler Tobin I persevered and will be forever grateful. Darren's only request of me was to TRUST HIM, and I did just that. He was always available to ease my anxieties and provide a comforting touch when needed. At the same time he was also ready to punish those individuals who had harmed me using his legal wit and intellect. Thank you for everything Darren! I feel welcomed into your family, and I will value the friendship that was formed over the course of our professional relationship. Through your hard work and dedication justice has been served!

It's Gonna Be a Long, Hot Summer...
To quote the Brown Man's wife, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback. Not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." I found an interesting blogpost on this topic here.
I'm proud that some 400+ years after Plymouth Rock landed on us, after 400 years or so of crowded slave ships and horrific transatlantic journeys, maltreatment, broken treaties and Manifest Destiny, the Trail of Tears, Indian Schools, Wounded Knee, Jim Crow and miscegenation laws, the Ku Klux Klan, lynching, Rosa Parks, the assassination of Martin Luther King and Malcom X, Japanese internment camps, the Chinese Exclusion Act, "Uncle Ben" Rice, "Aunt Jemima" pancakes and lawn jockeys, Americans--of all colors--got together and decided enough is enough.
It's pretty freaking cool, cuz despite what's being sold to you on the news these days, all kinds of people have turned out at the polls to give Change a chance, to keep Hope alive. It wasn't just "Black People" all voting for Obama. It's a wonderful thing to see.
But it's also scary as hell, because all the worst of American humanity (if you can even call it that) is about to crawl out from under Plymouth Rock. All the Gollums, hissing and slithering up from the depths of hell with slimy comments and veiled threats and outright nasty, vile and blatantly racist spewings. It's already coming out... they've been hissing for a minute but they're starting to scream right about now.
The gloves are going to come off. And it's not going to be pretty. I've heard several people in Brown communities wonder at Obama's safety, if he won't be "picked off".
More and more references are made to "Barack Hussein Obama", implying he's Muslim, and an evil Muslim at that. (Which begs the question... do we, in this land that was supposedly built on religious freedom, REALLY believe that being Muslim is the same as being a killer, being evil? I wonder how that's even justified in this Land of the Free...)
This summer I'm betting on a BUNCH of things being circulated that'll make brown people go "wha?" The worst, most racist and hurtful things are going to be said. Four hundred years worth of scabs are going to picked at. We're about to see how racist a country we really live in. Most of us already know it... but we're going to be absolutely certain where we stand, for sure.
And it's not that I'm afraid Obama can't handle it... any "black man" crazy enough to run for President has got to know that the heaviest artillery is going to be leveled right at his head. But what I'm hoping is that we all keep our peace. And I'm hoping that people realize that the whole world is watching us. No matter the outcome of this election, history is being made and I hope we all realize that the world is watching. And I also hope that despite the Gollums and the nastiness, despite the scabs that will be picked and the blood that will run, I hope that we see a new America rise up and stand.
And I really hope they lay off his wife... (though I'm betting not.) And I really enjoyed seeing that flash of steel in his eye. They better lay off his wife...

I'm waiting with baited breath today. I was proud that NC voted for him, and I know many, many whites who support him here. And he's defintely got a following out there: Maine voted for him;P

I have worried about Obama's safety for a while now. I am old enough to remember when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assasinated. Obama has always reminded me a lot of Bobby Kennedy. I hope the outcome is better this time around.

Yeah, I know.. a lot of people are. Even Hillary, apparently. What would be sad about that is that America's racism really runs that deep. Actually, not even sad... downright embarrassing. Even South Africa has moved past us...

I was visiting my sister a week ago, who has just relocated to Charlottesville, VA. And I was honestly SHOCKED at the segregation of that city (yes, I lead a sheltered life in many ways). There really are two 'Charlottesvilles' -- the black one and the white one.
But what was more shocking was to hear the reactions my sister got when she pointed this out to the local white folks. Either complete denial or justification "well, it's our history". No acknowledgement that there was even a 'problem'. She's not looking for a solution, but she also is appalled that there isn't even the recognition that there's a problem.

Would you like to buy a discount dining table? A cheap chair? An elegant armoire? Regardless of the purchase you want to make, you need to do it on budget without sacrificing quality. That means reading this article in full, accepting the tips below as the gospel truth and getting down to shopping!
Consider your pet situation when shopping for furniture. A home without free-roaming pets that is going to stay that way is safer for a lot more furniture. If you do have uncaged pets or think you might in the future, be a lot more picky in what pieces of furniture you buy.
What color would fit your home the best? Keep in mind that really bold colors are tough to match. Select large furniture pieces in neutral colors and patterns. Bold colors and patterns are best left for accent pieces.
Choose your fabric and colors based on your lifestyle. If you have children or pets, it is best to steer clear of delicate fabrics and light colors. These will be worn through and stained in no time. A darker, sturdier fabric will hold up to the abuse, and hides many stains.
Take the time to keep furniture polished and clean regularly. This bit of maintenance helps keeps your furniture looking like new and also helps to get rid of allergens like dust and pet dander. Letting dust and other allergens collect, especially on finished furniture, can damage it over time, so you need to maintain it on a regular basis.
Thoroughly check any cushions on the furniture you are buying. Cushions should be firm, and have a cover that can be removed for cleaning. Try to find ones that have the same fabric on both sides. It will cost a bit more than one-sided cushions with a backing, but they will last longer and wear more evenly because you can flip them over every few months.
Examine the finish on the furniture you are considering. If the furniture is wood with a stain, check that it is applied evenly and that you can see the wood grain. For opaque or painted finishes, look for an even coating. There should be no bubbles or other blemishes on the finish.
Unless you are going for an eclectic look, style your furniture the same. You may not buy all your living room furniture at the same time, or you may need to replace a piece. When you do, make sure to target a new piece that will not only accent the other furniture, but also compliment it.
Buying furniture for your home is a long term investment so be sure to inspect the furniture to see how well it is made. Furniture is a long term investment so make sure that the furniture will live up to the demands of your family and give you many years of satisfaction.
When you are furniture shopping it is worth if to ask for a lower price. Many times furniture stores set a much higher price then they need and will work with you. Once you find the piece or pieces you want, ask your salesperson if they can give you a better price.
Make sure you know how much storage space you really need when you are selecting a piece of furniture. If you are buying an end table, a wall unit, a chest or some other item with storage features, you want to make sure it has adequate space. You do not want to lug home that new piece of furniture only to find you cannot fit everything into it.
If you are looking into used furniture, be sure to look under cushions and even do a smell test. The furniture may look great from a few feet away, but there can be hidden mold and even wood rot that will make the choice a poor investment. Just a little extra time and diligence is needed.
When buying furniture, consider your needs for the future as well. If your family is expanding or you have active children, it is better to get something that can take some abuse and is easy to clean. Delicate furniture is not a wise choice for a family with kids so don't waste your money by buying something that won't suit the needs of your family.
Understand different wood types when buying furniture in order to maximize your budget. Furniture made from solid wood will be the most expensive and last the longest. Veneered wood will be less expensive, but will have lower quality wood under the veneer. Particle board and composites, which are made from wood pulp and binders, will be the least expensive but also the least durable.
When shopping for furniture online, don't forget to calculate shipping and handling charges into the overall sales price. What looks like a fantastic deal might actually cost more than buying locally because of shipping and handling. Also, if you find a deal online, take it to your local furniture store to see if they will meet or beat the online price.
If you only need to replace one piece of furniture, try finding something that will go well with the furniture and the decor you already own. Take some pictures of the inside of your home and take them with you when you go shopping for furniture so you can select the right pieces.
If you want a change, consider shopping for accent pieces. You can brighten up a room and change the whole look by simply adding a few throw pillows, a new side table or an accent piece. You can even add new wall pieces just to spruce up the space.
Now we've given you all you need to know, all that's left is for you to go out shopping to buy. You just need to try to use these tips as you go from store to store. Whether you shop at the thift shop or at a high end store, keep this information in mind.

Best Piano Websites
With so many free resources online, why would you ever pay for piano lessons? Easy. Because many of the online resources are garbage.

Lucky for you, we've dug through the junk, and located some buried gems. Here are the best piano websites.

Alternative Dispute Resolution is a mechanism by which different types of legal disputes are resolved through out-of-court processes like arbitration, and mediation as an alternative to civil litigation. ADR methods can be effective in reducing the time, money, and adversarial nature associated with traditional court-based proceedings.

The braking system is arguably the most important part of a car. Without it, all that collision prevention technology is useless so it's important to keep it in top condition. If you need new brakes, feel free to stop in at SouthTowne Hyundai and see what other services we have to offer! Here are a few signs it's time to have your braking system inspected:
- Vibrating – If the brake pedal is vibrating, it could be an indicator of warped rotors. Generally caused by braking for long periods of time, like when towing, warped rotors are a danger and mean that the brake pad isn't touching the surface of the rotor evenly. While it isn't cause for immediate alarm, it certainly means you should schedule a service appointment as soon as possible and avoid braking for long periods of time.
- Seeing – By looking through the wheel spokes on most vehicles, it's possible to perform a physical inspection of your brake pads. The pad should be pressed against the rotor when parked. If it looks like there's less than a quarter-inch of pad left, make an appointment for the near future.
- Grinding – A loud grinding or growling sound indicates that the pads are completely gone and you've likely damaged your rotors. Make a service appointment right away and don't be surprised if the technician suggests a new set of rotors altogether.

As if Our Nation's Capitol doesn't already place enough roadblocks in the way of the right to keep and bear arms, "a D.C. Councilwoman has introduced legislation that could make the District the nation's first jurisdiction to require gun owners to buy liability insurance." Given that the freedom to own and carry the weapon of your choice is a natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil and Constitutional right — subject neither to the democratic process nor to arguments grounded in social utility, I'm not sure an insurance requirement is really Constitutional. But just for the sake of argument, let's say that it is. How are you going to figure the cost? Allow me . . .
Basic coverage on my car runs about $45/month and I drive it an average of two hours every day, so that's $0.75 per hour of operation. I'm willing to pony up $0.75 a year to cover a gun that I might shoot (outside of practice) once every 50 years.
But I'm sure people will think that's a ludicrously low number, so how about another calculation: According to famous anti-gun researchers Drs. Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig, in 2000 "gun violence" cost the US about $100 Billion a year. So if you divide that by 100 million gun owners they should pay $1,000 a year.
Oh, but what about the benefit side of this cost-benefit analysis? According to a study published in 1997 by those same researchers, Drs. Cook and Ludwig, there are about 1.46 million defensive gun uses a year. If even 1 in 100 of those DGUs saves a life, then that's 14,600 lives saved by guns each year and I would imagine a proportionate number of injuries are prevented as well.
According to the CDC in 2000 there were 10,801 gun-related homicides which, according to Jens and Phil, cost $100 Billion (yeah, I'm ignoring injuries because, again, they'll be roughly proportional) for a total of about $9.25 million per life. But guns in the hands of the law-abiding saved 3,799 more lives than those lost to criminals.
Which means that there's a net benefit to owning a firearm. So let's see…carry the six…I guess that means that, in order to reflect the 'cost' to society of gun ownership, the Gun Control Industrial Complex owes each of us $351.73 a year. I don't know about you, but I prefer cash.
72 Responses to DC Mulls an Insurance Requirement. Here, Let Me Help.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people? Do they know what a right is? So, does that mean I need insurance to have a 4th amendment right? Insurance to practice my religion? Wow, I don't think these folks are capable of rational thought.
No, they don't. Apparently they studied the Bill of Needs where they went to school.
Bill of Preferences
They do not care. And until the Supreme Court puts some teeth on the Second Amendment, such as giving it a "strict scrutiny" standard of review, we are going to keep getting crap like this. Even after that, we wouldn't be immune, but it would severely hamper efforts such as this one.
They live and work inside this bubble called "The Beltway." This is a mythical land where EVERYTHING has to be safe and fair (unless you're in power, of course), and everyone is wrapped in bubble wrap so as not to get a boo-boo. They do not acknowledge that Anacostia (the Crime Capital of the Nation's Capital) exists until the elections roll around.
We in the surrounding lands where reality sometimes occurs have known that those in DC are incapable of rational thought since the 1968 riots. Case in point: Marion Barry. One time "Mayor for Life," crack addict, Federal prison graduate, and now "DC Councilman for Life" for District 13. There is NO intelligent life in DC.
they know exactly what they are doing. Its a backdoor gun ban. If you can't have an outright ban make huge barriers to ownership thus disarming people without enacting a ban.

Excellent points! Er, cash, please.
There are very good reasons to be insured — just not what they're thinking. It is for insurance against them:
Interesting article, but mistaken as to certain critical issues.
First, it is not correct to say that insurance does not cover for criminal acts; rather, insurance will not cover for intentionally wrongful conduct, only for "accidents". For example, it is illegal to speed, but your insurance still provides coverage for any resulting accident; they even cover for accidents when you are drunk. The drinking and the speeding may be intentional, but the accident is not. Unless of course you are intending to run someone over.
Second, unless there are new policy forms, the standard homeowners policy does not have an exclusion for gun related accidents. So if there is a negligent discharge, there is coverage for the injuries. Check your policy, ask your agent to be sure. Moreover, the liability insurance has limited world-wide coverage. You are covered under you HO policy for non-vehicular accidents no matter where they occur.
Third, your liability coverage only provides a defense for civil actions filed against you. No HO or renters policy provides funding of the defense of criminal charges.
Fourth, and the big thing that these legislators fail to comprehend (such insurance programs have been proposed in a number of states) is that liability insurance does not insure the person injured; rather, it protects the insured from liability for damages to the third person. This may seem like a minor point, but these guys think that if everyone has insurance, the cost of public benefits paid to guns hot victims will suddenly drop. Not true. Again, only accidental shootings are covered, and quite frankly, there aren't that many of those each year. The typical gangbanger drive-by will still be an excluded event, as will all other violent crime and domestic violence.
This is not to say that personal gun "insurance" is not worthwhile. There are a number of products on the market, including USCCA and the NRA to name two, but these policies typically only cover the cost of the gun owners legal defense in both criminal and civil proceedings. The USCCA product, for example, isn't technically insurance; rather it is a reimbursement policy for expenditures made. As I recall, it does not provide indemnity for damages paid to a third person, but I could be wrong on that.
And the story about the woman slamming another car and proclaiming "I have better insurance" isn't apocryphal, it is from the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes."
Hmm, isn't the NRA in the business of helping insure gun owners? That'd get the gun-grabbers' goats, passing a law that immediately pushes the rest of American gun owners towards the NRA….
I didn't realize the NRA had liability insurance — I thought it was just theft/damage insurance. Good to know I guess.
How about divide the 100 billion per year up among criminals? Or if that's too hard recoup the costs by increasing the property tax in the neighborhoods where the violence is happening?
How can having to carry a quarter million dollars in liability insurance NOT be seen as an unconstitutional bar on firearm ownership?
Case in point, the Affordable Care Act. Also, home owners that are receiving mortgage assistance will be required to carry mortgage insurance.
The latest progressive push, make everyone insure everything. If you can't negate the risk, we'll force you to insure it.
If the government continues to bail out people when things happen to them, why shouldn't they mandate people buy insurance? I don't see much difference from a bank requiring full coverage of a person who has taken a car loan out. Their money, their rules.
Using our money to bail out irresponsible persons is the problem. People need the freedom to fail, or else they'll continue to take more risks knowing they will be covered instead of being responsible and thinking things through.
I totally agree. As the government keeps paying for more and more in people's lives, they will control more and more aspects of it. And, of course, this is the idea.
Is there any insurance companies that would even write this policy?
The NRA offers some insurance (not to these levels of course), given the actuarialy low risk posed by lawful gun owners I suspect at least some insurance companies would enter the market, after all, as my Insurance Law professor said "The money isn't in denying people what they want, it's in giving them what they want but charging too much for it."
Also, I would be curious to see what a fair actuarial rate for a legal gun owner is, and the discounts for things like safes and extra training.
Don't most umbrella liability policies cover firearms?
Depends on the specific policy and its particular language. Some do, some don't. But umbrella policies typically are written as excess over an underlying (insured or self-insured) retained limit, say for example, $100,000. If for some reason your underlying insurance won't pay, the umbrella may not "drop down" to provide first dollar coverage–leaving you on the hook for the retained limit.
Hell I like the idea of the option, it would be nice to have an optional insurance policy that maybe covers lawyer fees, accidental property/bodily harm, etc; however to make it a requirement is BS. Insurance seems to cause prices, etc to inflate dramatically (esp Healthcare) and that is not something that industry needs help with.
These policies exist. Some are even offered directly through the NRA.
I've seen the NRA's policies, i think they only go up to about 10k. This one calls for a 250k coverage.
Your firearms are covered by your homeowners policy, also for an "accidental discharge" or a DGU any property damage or injury (subject to review by your carrier) is covered by said policy's personal liability coverage.
Everyone needs to read their policy language before they make assumptions about coverage. Firearms are probably covered under personal property, although there are often "per item" limit ranging from $500 to $2,500. I used to work for an insurance company's legal department while in law school. My job was to find the language in the policy that would enable us to deny the claim. Don't assume anything.
That's just the personal property coverage. What we are most concerned about is the liability coverage. But you are of course correct; never assume anything. Read your policy, ask your agent.
As usual, gun control zealots are wrong on the math and the law: Insurance does not cover intentional or illegal acts like murder or suicide. That pretty much leaves accidental damage, legal fees, and so on. According to the CDC there were roughly 16,000 accidental unintentional firearm deaths and injuries in 2011. The insurance calls for a max payout of 250k, so assuming the maximum payout for all of those, that's about $40 a year when spread across 100 million gun owners.
If I were the NRA, I'd offer three tiers of these policies – 100k, 250k, and 1million, you'd get a free NRA membership, and a 50% discount if you'd taken a safety class.
P.S. as of 2014, everyone is supposed to have healthcare, so we are all already paying for that thanks.
Now that the Govt pays for your healthcare they think they have the right to tell you what you can amd cant do.
I think your 16,000 accidental unitentional firearms deaths is high. For 2010 there were 606 and for 2011 there were 851. This is found on page 16 under "Accidental fischarge of firearms" in this docment from the CDC:
he said deaths and injuries, not just deaths.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Imagine the insurance fraud! Man shoots self in foot. Gets free healthcare from ObamaCare and then a payout from the insurance company! Win Win!
Not going to happen. You cannot recover under your own policy for injuring yourself, any more than you can successfully sue yourself in court for your own negligence. On top of that, most policies have subrogation clauses that are designed to avoid duplicative payments.
Love the math- I'd take cash too!
Yeah I guess that DC wants another lawsuit.
Commenting on the way she's holding her fingers, is she measuring her I.Q. ?
I'll take my payment in boxes of government stockpiled ammo.
Requires insurance for gun-owners;
Freaks out at requirement of ID to vote.
Lets get the criminal safe zone coverage first, unless thats a right,lol. No, the zombies will keep comming untill its too costy for them, Randy
WHat does constitutionality have to do with it, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that mandating Health Insurance is "legal". We're screwed. Pandora's box, has been opened and there is no shutting that particular box, until ifwhen that ruling is ever reversed.
Whenever the antis start talking about insurance, they want an insurance policy to recover costs associated with intentional malicious acts.
In other words, they want an insurance company to write a policy that you would carry to cover the costs of you engaging in potentially illegal behavior.
No insurance company is going to write a policy that covers intentional bad acts because the potential liability for each one is infinite.
Which is what the antis intend – you can't buy insurance? Sorry, no gun for you!
MikeyB or rtempleton will be along shortly I'm sure to tell us what a great idea this is
I actually know the reason she is doing this. Look at the picture as she describes her husband at full arousal. She was saying "Even 2 that are only this big don't do the job".
Are we going to have to defend against this crazyness forever?
That is on a per firearm basis, right?… so.. carrying the 6 again, that would be.. hell I could retire at 40 with that cash!!!
I know it's not in line with what she meant, but…
My guns _are_ my insurance.
And with insurance , you got to ask will we be required list what firearms, cost, and ser. no's , this is a another backdoor way to get a detail list of firearms and the owner, next insurance on every box ammo, etc…???more control , more crime , and who will keep list private, who to rob, will this be listed on internet for the public to see, it gets worse and go's on, and on… Insurance is a government tax and control all in one..and will you be required to own a gun safe, this takes guns and self-defense out of the poor mans hands again….
The NRA already has a variety of insurance programs available for not a lot of money, since the risks are so low.
I'm totally opposed to requiring insurance. I'm totally in favor of checking out available policies to protect ourselves.
They need to be careful. We could drop liability insurance on a host of behaviors and objects owned in this country. What these people always forget is the scope can be widened at will.
Smokers are vilified and ostracized and now the same tactics are being used on other behavior. It's all good and well when some other group is singled out, not so much fun when it hits home
Bruce, welcome back and great post. It's always a pleasure to read and reflect upon your insights of an issue.
Why is the woman in that picture describing how small her husband's penis is? That's a personal matter not to be made public.
I wrote up the following document a couple of months ago when some states were considering mandatory firearms insurance. It basically covers the frequency of accidents and whether firearms liability insurance is justified. Feel free to share it if you want.
So would be requiring an insurance policy to vote be ok? (Hey! You'll poke your eye out if you vote liberal!)
I'll take a cashier's check or voucher redeemable at my LGS.
$375 which i would promptly invest in more guns.
Is that per gun or per person? I feel I should get more for owning several firearms 🙂
The real danger to our society comes from uninformed Democrat voters who believe that the government should be Santa Claus. I therefore propose a mandatory $100,000,000 insurance policy required for every Democrat, prior to their voting, to be used in the next 20-30 years when the nation goes bankrupt. They can pay for it with their Obamacare health care savings.
Bring it. The sooner the antis do their stupid ideas, the sooner it can get to the SC and get knocked down, and can never be done again.
I guess that means that, in order to reflect the 'cost' to society of gun ownership, the Gun Control Industrial Complex owes each of us $351.73 a year.
I'm pretty sure that should be calculated on a per-firearm basis. More guns, less crime, right?
No insurance company is ever going to write a policy covering illegal activities and/or acts of negligence so having gun insurance is useless. Like State Farm is going to pay out to family of someone you just happen to murder. This is basically harassment and punishment of law-abiding gun owners.
Not to mention they are seeking to force you to purchase insurance to exercise a constitutionally protected right.
Every CGL policy that I can think of covers acts of negligence.
not one inch
Even the DC Mayor doesn't like it. And look at how it's begrudgingly reported:

Job Losses Part Of Village Of Malone Budget

Job losses part of Village of Malone budget
By DENISE A. RAYMO
---- MALONE Some village employees are losing their jobs June 1.
But the Village Board wont say how many, who they are, how much the layoffs could save or if the losses are temporary or permanent.
There will be a workforce reduction in the Village of Malone, said Mayor Todd LePine following a 30-minute executive session during a special Village Board meeting on Monday called to unveil the tentative 2013-14 budget.
This was an extremely hard decision, he said.
Board members said they wanted to speak to impacted employees before releasing the information to the media and declined to give details because they said they just dont have them yet.
Trustee Joe Riccio did say the cuts are across the board.
LePine said that, by the end of the week, more details can be released about the job losses, which are being blamed on the escalating costs of providing retirement and health-insurance coverage to active and past employees.
Five-year projections using the best figures available to Village Treasurer Dorothy Maguire indicate the combined cost of state and police retirement for the village could go from $333,500 in 2013-14 to more than $490,000 by 2017-18.
And health-insurance costs could reach more than $1.1 million within the next five years.
You have the numbers. Thats whats driving all of this health and retirement benefits, Trustee Michael Maneely said.
The tentative budget is $7,162,003, an increase of 2.06 percent from this year.
The tax levy, or amount to be raised by taxes, is $3,049,994, an increase of 2 percent.
The tax rate per $1,000 of assessed-property value is $19.87 compared to $19.44 this year.
A property in the village valued at $100,000 would see a tax increase of $42.68.
The budget includes the contracted 2 percent raise for the Village Police Department.
Sewer and water rates remain the same in the tentative budget,but that can be revisited, Maguire said.
The taxable limit, which is the constitutional maximum a community can levy against its real property, is 74 percent, compared to 68.44 percent from 2012-13, an increase of 5.59 percent.
The State Comptrollers Office deems a community with a rating of 80 percent in the financial caution zone and those above 90 percent in the danger zone.
Other items included in the tentative budget are two new computers, a new $93,000 plow truck, a $12,000 stainless-steel sander, a more-efficient fuel-oil tank, one streetlight, trees, a lawn mower, small power tools and new fencing among others.
Maguire applied about $193,000 in unused general-fund balance to the budget and plans to move a combined $600,000 into water- and sewer-improvement reserves.
The Village Board has until March 31 to make any changes to the spending package before it is made available to the public on April 1.
A public hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 8, at the Village Offices on Elm Street, and the board is expected to adopt the budget at its April 22 meeting.

Isn't sequester/ austerity WONDERFUL?
Are we having fun YET?
If there is still justice left in the world, the axe will fall heaviest and hardest on that pitiful excuse for a police department, that, more than any other pertinent factor, prevented a reasonable, systemic shut- down and consolidation of redundant layers of local government here.
So... just like COMLINKS, the Village of Malone will suffer a death from a thousand cuts.
That's one way to put some of the party hacks out of business, I guess.
#4 Mar 19, 2013
Told ya so. But the voters chose this route. Have fun!
#5 Mar 19, 2013
The voters were manipulated into voting as they did through a well timed campaign of fear mongering.
Malone Village voters are mostly dimwits.
That said, we need to look past that to those who did the manipulating.
And let the chips fall where they may.
We could have gotten a tax cut and maintained the current level of services. But yeah, we'd be down an entire government of elected parasites. And we can't have THAT, now.
So, yeah. Since they're involving themselves inordinately in our politics and all, axe a couple more cops. All they do is run public security for businesses, anyway. Let the businesses hire their own security if they want it. Private security might actually not let things go on like dead bodies rotting in parking lots for days and days. So we'd certainly be no worse off in the long run, would we?
#8 Mar 20, 2013
Or just tweaking.
Unfortunately that goes with the LIFE.
Pitiful, isn't it?

One big answer to the problem is start taxing tax exempt properties or having them pony up some kind of PILOT for the services they get for free. One of the biggest tax exempt areas is the Franklin County Fair grounds. Check it out at the court house. We did. It's tax exempt. This is a big chunk of property that if developed properly could bring is significant tax money. It sits there all year long and pays nothing to the tax rolls. The time has come to put it somewhere else and open that area up to something that pays taxes. I'm sure the county has plenty of land available for the grounds.
#12 Mar 20, 2013
Yeah, like you post anything worth reading. Go get your rocks off elsewhere. No one cares what you think anymore.
Go find that dog you were blowing the other night.
#13 Mar 20, 2013
While not a bad idea, I got to tell you that a good deal of research has been done by a number of people I know and there is no way to collect from the tax exempt properties unless those who own/ manage them choose to make a change.
For instance, a change that would work for the fairgrounds is to move them out of the village while maintaining their proximity to the village. But only the county and fair board can make this change. The question is what sort of pressure would it take to make them willing to move on this change??
#14 Mar 21, 2013
How about if the Village Board required the Fair Board to actually pick up the costs of the events they stage there?
There is NO security in the neighborhoods around the fairgrounds during events, where people come in from miles around and park. They're excited or all hopped up or something, whatever it is, most of them have no concept whatsoever that people LIVE where they're parking and littering and traipsing through as if they were walking a barnyard or something. No. Much worse; I'm sure they don't treat their own homes that way.
If the Agricultural Society were made to pick up the actual costs of these events surely they would find it far more profitable to stage it in a more rural area. The village has serious money issues... how about charging a permit fee for the fair? For individual vendors? SOMETHING to recoup the costs. Local businesses might make money on this thing but for the vast majority of the rest of us it's a gigantic pain in the ass.
#18 Mar 25, 2013
Tax Exempt properties DO pay water and sewer fees...they are exempt only from property tax.
#20 Mar 25, 2013
It's COMLINKS all over again, and this village, this ridiculous money grabbing source of overblown ego fodder, WILL die a death of a thousand cuts.
And when it finally does go bankrupt and into receivership? The voters are going to have no say whatsoever as to how any of that gets resolved. At least we have that to look forward to.
There are some who are going to milk it out for everything they can possibly get, all the way down. What a surprise there. They take the term 'public servant' to a new level of irony, don't they?
Oh well. It's going to cost us plenty, but at least it's always good for a laugh.
#21 Mar 25, 2013
May I suggest that those so irate about the dissolution vote run for office next time. That way you can be sure your voices will be heard and you will be able to implement the changes you feel are necessary. Would that be more intelligent and effective than anonymously typing on a blog?
#22 Mar 25, 2013
Perhaps they already tried that....and lost......and can't get over themselves! Sore losers.

The ONLY thing produced by corruption IS corruption.
WTF is it that trolls, etc, think they own other people's talent? Just because it's there, that doesn't mean ANYONE else has the right to direct that EXCEPT the person with the talent.
SLAVERY is OVER.
What about that is so freaking difficult for you people to understand???
You are NOT worth the effort.
ESPECIALLY when it involves playing little corruption games with imbeciles.
But that's going to sort itself out soon enough.
#25 Mar 26, 2013
I'm not sure that anything you wrote (Consequences) is understandable given the topic.
I do find your last statement interesting.
"But that's going to sort itself out soon enough."
Care to explain what is going to sort itself out and when soon enough is??
#26 Mar 26, 2013
Hugh Hill tried to tell people back in September. But certain village officials other than Hill went on a scare campaign to make sure the village govt stayed in tact.
Now, this is what they get. The legacy costs of pensions and benefits for retirees are going to force the village workforce to make drastic cuts.
Obviously, the better route was dissolution but too many old folks were worried about who would pick up their leaf piles in the fall.
#27 Mar 26, 2013
Hugh did point this our but no one paid attention and the Prince and his buddy tried covering it up and now they want to hold everyone hostage.
Does anyone know how much the village treasurer makes?
#29 Mar 26, 2013
Nor do I understand what you're saying Consequences.
I'm not directing you to do anything, nor do I feel I own anything of yours (I don't understand where any of that outburst came from). I'm simply asking why those of you who are so clearly concerned about the direction the Village is taking don't take an active roll in trying to correct the wrongs.
I guess I think of the patriots in the 1700's. If they had waited for others to take action, we would still be saluting the Union Jack. Instead, they took the initiative, put themselves on the line, and acted. I'm not demanding or even suggesting that you (and others) should, but I'm confused about why you (and others) don't. You all are obviously very passionate about the Village and what you think need to be done.
I also am intrigued by "that's going to sort itself out soon enough." Could you please elucidate?
Before you start demeaning me, calling me a troll, or accusing of all the things you accuse anyone who questions you (as you constantly do), this thread is the first I've ever posted in. I'm here because I care deeply about this Village, and it's direction concerns me greatly. I have actively contributed when I felt there were actions I thought I could lend some help to.
I firmly believe that if all of us who care about Malone contributed as much to its improvement as many of you do to running it down in this blog, it would be a much improved village. But it seems the most vocal are the least inclined to help. Why is that? Seriously, why is that. Doesn't the co=chronic criticism get wearisome? Wouldn't it be much more satisfying to actually do something about the problems instead of simply moving your fingers?
Again, I'm not demanding, directing, telling, or asking you to do anything. I'm simply asking why you don't. Remember JFK, "ask not.?"

The sophist craziness just goes on, and on, and on, constantly repeating, in some twisted Rovian approximation of hell. How's that go? You lie and make ridiculous assumptions, and repeat them endlessly until stupid people accept your garbage as fact? That stuff might have worked marginally in 2004, when people were still naive enough to expect some level of honesty from those in public life, but now we know better.
YOU DO NOT GET TO ORDER ANYONE ELSE'S FREAKING LIFE! How can that possibly be clarified any more for you??? Are you REALLY that dense??? YOU want somebody to run for office? Do it your damned self.
Although that's not really the point, is it? You are only out to diminish and deconstruct and dissuade. In true sophist destruction mode you are only out to muddy the discussion and to distract from the actual topic. You can't actually make a positive, sensible contribution to discussion on the topic, so you try to blow it up.
Well too bad. We're on to you and you will never be able to pull that garbage off again.
YOU don't need to worry about ME. To begin with, you don't even know me and you really don't have the goddamned right. Just for your information, because for some reason out there in busybody land you think you need to know? I'm just FINE where I am. And, apparently I'm having some positive effect or you wouldn't be so persistent in your constant, nasty, repetitive attacks.
DO NOT expect me to get into this with you. I don't give a damn what you think, or especially what you think I need to do.
Is that clear enough for you? If not, I DON'T CARE! Go to freaking the library, and ask for some remedial reading assistance. I'm sure there's someone there who can help you far more than I have any inclination to.
#33 Mar 28, 2013
Hopefully they don't think they've taken care of that with the barricades.
Something horrible is going to happen, and people will flip out over what their tax dollars haven't been buying for them.
And then the local fools will blame the state, and keep on riding the Village down until the Good Ship Malone finally sinks, with them on it.
That'll look good on their resumes.
And no doubt... consolidation would involve compromise and accommodation. I don't see that happening. Anything happening in that direction will come from financial necessity or state mandate.
In time they will be replaced by a state appointed receiver, once the village finally goes bankrupt. Debts and assets will be totaled, decisions will be made without local input, and that will be that.

Latest news about our ongoing "Urgent Campaign for Damascus and its Suburbs" – composed on Friday, 23/8/2013
Thankfully, on Wednesday 21/8/2013, the first batch of urgently needed medical supplies was sent to Eastern Al Ghouta containing the following:
1] 10,000 Atropine injections
2] 2,800 Dixamid injections
3] 2,000 Hydro-cortisone injections
Two other similar medical batches will be sent in the next couple of days to Western Al Ghouta and Southern Damascus. We will also document the arrival of the first batch by photos and a form signed by the medical office inside proving that they have received it.
Another batch was also sent, containing blood bags, bandages, ostoscopes, an amount of Revanin, and other vital needs. The price of this batch is 20,000 dollars. It set off to Syria yesterday and is on its way to Southern Damascus and Western Al Ghouta. Please do note that this is an in-kind batch.
Much appreciation goes to all those who helped spread the message and donated.
We do note that none of the donators asked for their names or donations to be publicized, but for the aim of documentation and clarity, we uploaded 2 photos to this album:
1] photo showing the amount of donations and the overall sum
2] photo showing the overall bill of the amount paid for the medicines
We do note that we will upload the rest of the individual bills as soon as we have them in hand. Anyone who has donated to Hemmah Volunteer Group's "Urgent Medical Campaign for Damascus and its Suburbs" but did not find his/her donation listed, please do contact the administrator's page through inbox messages.
Syria grows through your support.
"Stronger Together"
Wednesday, 21/8/2013 – News regarding the urgent campaign launched to send medical batches from Jordan to attacked areas in Damascus's suburbs:
Thankfully and thanks to your dear efforts in urgent campaign for Damascus's suburbs, the following has been achieved thus far:
1- 10,000 dollars have been collected for first medical batch to Eastern Al Ghouta.
2- Another 10,000 dollars have been collected for second medical batch to Western Al Ghouta.
We still are collecting donations in order to send a similar batch to southern Damascus in case the regime is intending to launch any further, abrupt, atrocious attacks against innocent civilians.
All received donations will be reported on our page [both Arabic and English] along with copies of the bills of the medicines bought.
Share this post and get in contact with the numbers [or with me if you wish through my email *email@example.com*] seen in the voucher to donate any sum you can; massive help is needed after the horrifying chemical massacre in Damascus's suburbs as an estimated 5,000 civilians got exposed to the gases amidst dearth in medical supplies. They need your help; they need our help.
"Stronger Together" for the sake of our children, mothers, and fathers in Syria.

The spinning class (now we are eleven) is now in its fourth week. It's so lively that until now I haven't had a chance to take pictures, but yesterday I got the phone out for a few candid moments.
Debbie got a late start, but is now up to full speed. She's caught on to drafting, and has filled several spindlesful.
Here's Patti making a skein, with Mary winding on and Barry doing some park-and-draft in the background.
Barry is making admirable progress with Andean plying.
Here are Tina's first skeins. Aren't they gorgeous?

Juggling sunglasses, gloves, and camera. Finally managed these:

This morning I came across a Dwell article about The Weavers of Lapua. If you can get beyond the highly styled photos and focus on the textiles, take a look at the weaving. Nice.
On a neighborhood walk I spied this bird on a wire. I wish I could tell you what it is -- all I can say is it was huge, about the size of my Thanksgiving turkey--but it did get me further into my black & white thinking. Keep in mind that this is an enlargement of a very small area of a phone snapshot, not a quality production. All identifications welcome.
Some leftover bits of gray Romney fleece found their way into my spinning basket, so I combined them & spun them up on a spindle, then plied & washed them. This is one of the yarns I just like to have around to fondle. It may not go any further.
Thinking ahead to more double twill on the dobby loom. First a structure drawdown, then a color version. Three wefts. These look better if you click to enlarge.
Have a good holiday, y'all. Be safe. Be generous with hugs. Happy weaving.

As I hadn't yet seen the Blue Ridge Fiber Show, and it's closing in January, we headed up the mountain today. The skies looked like this. We were undeterred.
This is always an enjoyable and varied show, with work by professionals and beginners alike. There's a good helping of weaving and felting, and I noticed a generous amount of very accomplished spinning this year. The garments were outstanding. You can check out a listing of award winners, but you'll need a magnifying glass to see the pictures. The conditions weren't optimal for me to photograph the work with my phone; however, I did manage to get a decent picture of this wonderful garment by Teena Tuenge:
Afterwards we drove to Teena's for a studio visit and I asked her about the very versatile structure she uses for many of her garments. She reminded me that she wrote an article about it in Issue #100 of the Complex Weavers Journal. If you're lucky enough to have this issue, look it up. It's a fascinating study.
Here's Teena at one of her looms.

Spinning is useful for the spaces in between—in between cooking, spending time with guests, folding things, putting away, all the business of life. Add the odd moments together and you get some serious yardage. Singles first...
Then plying.

Alarm signals coming in from my back. I'm putting a hold on weaving for a few days, and have picked up the knitting needles; this will be an opportunity to make a dent in the mountain of yarn that arose from World Series spinning.
I thought it would be fun to see some of the knitting up close in the scanner. The first one is suri alpaca I purchased in batt form. Turns out it had tons of second cuts and vegetable matter not evident on first inspection. It was terrible to spin—constant stops & starts to remove the offending bits—but I did get something knittable from it. Here's a scarf in progress at roughly 12x magnification (click to enlarge):
And here is a wool/silk blend plied with all wool. Click.

Everything's in a state of suspended animation today. It's very strange. I do plan to stay up to watch the election results, no doubt with my spinning supplies close at hand.
On my walk today I passed the church that serves as our neighborhood polling place (I already voted downtown a couple of weeks ago). The parking lot was full of cars. It seems to be a larger turnout than in past years.
On my way home I saw this little fellow on Yorkshire Dr. I moved him over to the grassy verge. It didn't make any difference to him, as he was long past caring, but I wanted to preserve his gorgeous plumage a little longer.
Back home and back to work...
I started a new panel today. More of the lighter greens in this one, and fewer of the reds. It's such fun to see the images emerge bit by bit. I'm really enjoying weaving this piece.

As traditional "top-down" approaches to device fabrication are reaching their limits, "bottom-up" approaches based on the assembly of individual molecules are receiving increasing attention. Biomolecules such as DNA are particularly promising because of their specific recognition capabilities. In his Perspective, Niemeyer highlights the molecular lithography approach developed by Keren et al. Combined with protein bioengineering, molecular lithography provides a new, powerful tool for using DNA in future nanometer-scale devices.
