Celebration commemorates anniversary of Peace Pilgrim's first pilgrimage
The sixth annual Peace Pilgrim Celebration, Sept. 20-22, will commemorate the 60th anniversary of Mildred Lisette Norman's transformation from a small-town farm girl to international peace activist.
The three-day event celebrates the life and work of Peace Pilgrim, an American sage who walked highways and byways for more than 27 years spreading her simple but profound message of peace: "Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
Norman, born 1908 in Egg Harbor City, grew up on a small farm on the outskirts of town and was valedictorian of Egg Harbor High School. After many years of reflection, she relinquished her personal identity to become Peace Pilgrim. On Jan. 1, 1953, with just the clothes on her back, a toothbrush and comb, she started her cross-country pilgrimage for peace at the head of the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif. Those who attend the three-day celebration will be asked to re-enact Peace Pilgrim's original pilgrimage by signing copies of her original petitions for peace, which will be delivered to the United Nations and Washington, D.C. in November. Egg Harbor City friends of Peace Pilgrim will also be asking for the public's support in an effort to get Peace Pilgrim inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
Events include the two-mile Intergenerational Walk for Peace steps off from Peace Pilgrim Park, 500-block London Ave., at 9 a.m. Sept. 21. Registration starts at 8 a.m. Donation is $5. T-shirts will be available for the first 100 walkers. The second half of the walk will be in silent meditation.

Police maintain custody of the deposited drugs, and dispose of them using normal procedures; they also make a quarterly report to the Division of Consumer Affairs about the quantity of drugs turned in.
State Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said he encourages all Atlantic County residents check their medicine cabinets for expired or unneeded drugs, and bring them to the ACPD drop box, which is available around the clock every day. Atlantic City Police Chief Ernest Jubilee said his agency was pleased to participate in the project.

Report summaryAbove ground risk is relatively low, particularly since the government has sought to incentivise new E&P investment in the face of a looming gas supply shortfall. Regular licensing rounds are held, and fiscal terms have been improved. The state has quite a strong presence through oil company Petrotrin and the National Gas Company, which is a monopoly buyer of all gas destined for the domestic market. Unions are strong and strikes are common, but the main impact is on Petrotrin.

Hi! My name is Peewee! Funny name right? I'm not one of those tiny dogs or one of the ironically giant ones, either. I think I'm just the right size and love that my name is a conversation starter.
So, now that we've broken the ice, here's a little more info about me. I am very affectionate and eager to please everyone around me. Even though I'm a little shy at first, I'm a lover at heart. I'm a gentle soul and a wonderful companion. I'm very well behaved and know all my basic commands. I'm very proud of that.
Other than that, I'm a simple dog looking for a loving home. I'm hoping that's going to be yours!
For more information or to meet this pet, please complete an application or send email to email@example.com
If you're reading this via a pet-search site, please view this pet's page
at www.UnderdogAZ.com/animals for more photos and details.
We are a foster-based rescue, and do not maintain a physical base of operations. All of our animals are placed with loving, caring safe foster families until they are adopted. We are also an "All Breed" rescue, and do not discriminate based on breed, age, size, etc.
Underdog's mission also includes educating the public on the issue of animal welfare. We strive to promote shelter reform, spay and neuter education and emergency rescue information & assistance.
Underdog Rescue of Az
P.O. Box 13392
Chandler, Az 85248
We also have a mandatory two-week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period for all animals in order to be certain the pet is a good fit for your family.
Our standard adoption fee for dogs is $200; puppies are $250.
Non-standard fees do sometimes apply. Puppies younger than six months may have a higher fee. Designer dogs, purebreds, and other toy type breeds may also have higher adoption fees than the standard $200.
We do, however, have discounted fees for dogs that are seniors, a pair of dogs adopted together, or cats. If you are a veteran or an active duty service member, please ask about our partnership with Pets For Patriots.
All Underdog pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption.
We are a 501c3 non profit, your donations save lives and are 100% tax deductible.
Thank You!

NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

I was heartened to hear Eric Holder, Attorney General nominee, answer succinctly when asked by Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, if water-boarding is torture. Citing its use by the Khmer Rouge and in the Inquisition, referring to the Geneva Conventions, and recounting that the US prosecuted people who did it during the Vietnam War, he said very clearly, "yes, it is." Asked if the leader of another country could be seen as having the right to waterboard US citizens, he said very clearly, "no."
He is, of course, a damned liberal. So it may be more persuasive to some (assuming "some" are in fact persuadable) that a member of George Bush's own administration has stated unequivocally that we have tortured people.
My most prolific commenter says he's "for" torture. Okay, I admire the clarity. The problem is that Bush has always said the US "doesn't torture." How can that be? Simple: he just undefined the word. The stuff we've been doing (and I say "we" because it's been done in our name, in our democracy) isn't torture because George Bush says it isn't. Why didn't I think of that? There are so many things...
I never had a "complication" from my operations. Just enhanced outcomes.
The thing is, if George Bush -- or anyone else -- thinks torture is justified in some situations, the right thing is to say so, like a man, like, well, my commenter. Make the case. Cite examples. Debate it, in Congress. Counter the arguments of experts, one after the other, who say it not only doesn't work but produces false and unreliable information. (The typical use, historically, has been to get people to confess to crimes they DIDN'T COMMIT. The inquisition. The Hanoi Hilton. For that, it works. Just ask John McCain.)
Were my family in jeopardy from the so-called "ticking time-bomb," and were there evidence that I could force a guy to spill the beans under torture, I'd be inclined to do whatever it took. Thing is, there's never been a real "ticking time-bomb" scenario except on TV. And there are plenty of examples of lies being told to interrogators under those circumstances.
Maybe it's reasonable to have the debate. What's not reasonable, and is totally unacceptable in a democracy, is the cynical behavior of the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush axis of dweebil and their shameless Humpty Dumpty leadership.
How that man can get up there tonight and argue he's been a success is an outrage. That some buy it is why I remain unsure that even someone who really aims to be straight and mindful and inclusive can succeed. There are just too many enablers of the opposite in this country.

Thanks for the Compliment Sid, but you want to talk about torture? How about listening to Barney Frank lisp and spit about his Boyfriend on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"?? and I was only listening to NPR cause it was saturday and it was my Wifes car, and I couldn't reach the power switch in time...
BTW, if you mention GWB after noon, January 20th, you are Officialy Gay, and admitting that he is the 2d best POTUS Ever, just behind the Greatest POTUS of all times, Ronaldus Maximus Reagan...

Wow, an absolutely unbroken chain of thought, from torture (the point of the post) to Marc Rich. Brilliant, as usual. And -- not that it's relevant -- in the hearing, Mr Holder was very candid (look it up: you might have forgotten what it means after eight years) about Marc Rich; or don't you care?

I'll stop mentioning Bush when Repubs stop mentioning Reagan.

Well, here's Obama's iron-clad never changing position on "torture":
"However, Obama's changes may not be absolute. His advisers are considering adding a classified loophole to the rules that could allow the CIA to use some interrogation methods not specifically authorized by the Pentagon, the officials said."
It really bothers you that Obama is discovering that Bush's decisions were actually pretty good--good enough that he seems to be adopting many of them.
- January 16, 2009 at 5:10 PM
- Sid Schwab said...
"It really bothers you..."
Where do you see that, here or elsewhere in this blog?
Oh, sorry. For a minute there I was acting as if there was ever any logic to what you say.
The rest of your comment is of a piece. "...seems to be adopting many of them." Many? Which ones? Seems to be? By what evidence? Speculation?
I don't know why I bother. For that matter, I don't know why you bother reading this blog, which you seem so regularly to misunderstand and mischaracterize. You might be surprised to know you don't have to. There are plenty of fact-free, right-wing echo chambers which parrot your point of view without tethering to reality. Need some names?
- January 16, 2009 at 5:55 PM
1. Not closing Gitmo right away
2. Staying in Iraq for "up to a decade" rather than withdrawing immediately
3. "Classified loophole" for waterboarding for when it is a good idea
Obama's campaign rhetoric is already being superseded now that he sees what the presidency is like. The things he excoriated Bush for he now thinks are good ideas. I'm glad he's learning--really gald, since he comes in with absolutely no executive experience. But I can tell it bothers you.
Hey--why not just take a break an maybe spike the ball in the endzone once or twice--celebrate the coming of the Obama, rather than continue to get your panties in a bunch over George Bush.
- January 16, 2009 at 8:50 PM
PS--I don't actually read it. I just look at the pictures.
- January 16, 2009 at 8:54 PM
- Sid Schwab said...
Wrong, wrong, and wrong.
He plans to issue orders right away to close Gitmo. The fact that it may take a long time is because of the legal complications due to Bush's bad idea. NOTHING about that implies that he's decided it was a good idea.
He said from the beginning that he planned to withdraw responsibly, and that he'd keep a small number of forces for training and to protect the embassy. He's made it clear -- because it's undeniably true -- that the war was a terrible mistake. A "dumb war." That it will take some time to undo the damage is, once again, in no way a conclusion that it was a good idea.
He has unequivocally stated that waterboarding is torture and that it will not be done. The rumored loophole has not been said to be about waterboarding. Nor is it in fact specified or confirmed.
I do appreciate your attempt to actually have a dialog as opposed to flinging random insults. The fact that you're 100% wrong should not discourage you from making the effort. If you ever get anything right, I'll be the first to admit it.
And I appreciate your love of the pictures. I usually give them quite a bit of thought.

"BARACK Obama said last night he did not expect to honour his campaign pledge to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in his first 100 days in office, but the US president-elect reiterated his vow to shut the facility eventually."
Because he realizes there's nothing to do with people who want to harm our country when their own countries won't take them back. Maybe you'd like them to come live in Seattle.
- January 16, 2009 at 10:08 PM
- Sid Schwab said...
He's made it clear for a long time that that was the case; because of the legal entanglements caused by the whole process, including but not limited to the fact that the ones that were tortured can't be tried in a court of actual law. Believe it or not, there were ways Bush could have handled those people that would have conformed with US and/or international law and which would have assured keeping them incarcerated. Bush blew it on countless levels. It's now up to Obama to figure out how to undo it and proceed. That it's as difficult as it is speaks to how wrong Bush's approach was. Before GITMO there were and are plenty of "evil-doers" that have gone through the existing system and are in prison. In acting like Saddam, Bush has precluded that for the current prisoners. It didn't need to be so.

2013 Club Elections
Club Elections
It's that time of year when we start working on the Club elections for the 2013 Board of Directors. The Club is soliciting members to serve on the Board of Directors for the 2013 calendar year. The elected positions include: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Coordinator, Roster Manager, Concours Coordinator, Tech Event Coordinator and Tour Coordinator. To be eligible for President you must have been on the Board for the immediately preceding two years. To be Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer, you must have been on the Board for the immediately preceding year. The other positions are open to those who have been Club members in good standing for at least one year.
The four officer positions, President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, have a two-year term limit. The non-officer positions (everything else) have no term limit.
If you would like to be involved in the administration of the Club, we always welcome volunteers. But this isn't simply a matter of coming to a Board meeting once a month and voicing your opinion. The Club has no paid staff. That means everything that happens in this Club happens through the efforts of volunteers. In other words, Board positions mean a commitment to work! That's not to say that involvement in Club administration isn't fun, it is. Most Board members find their work on the Board and with the other Board members to be enjoyable and rewarding.
Here are the duties of the various elected Board positions:
- President—Responsible for the overall operation of the Club. Leads Board meetings and makes sure all the other Board members are doing their jobs.
- Vice President—Fills in when the President is unavailable. Also responsible for social events not assigned to other Board members.
- Secretary—Records the minutes of Board meetings.
- Treasurer—Responsible for the financial affairs of the Club including preparing financial statements, reports to National and the annual tax return.
- Membership Coordinator—Handles mailings to new members and the recruitment of new members.
- Roster Manager—Manages the Club's membership database in coordination with the National office. Provides mailing data for Zündfolge and other mailings.
- Concours Coordinator—Responsible for all aspects of the Club's annual Concours d'Elegance in July.
- Tech Event Coordinator—Organizes or facilitates Club technical events. These are usually hosted by a business.
- Tour Coordinator—Organizes or facilitates Club driving tours.
- SIG Coordinator—The Board liaison with the various Special Interest Groups.
There are also appointed (rather than elected) Board positions. These include:
- Zündfolge—Responsible for creation and distribution of the Zündfolge plus advertising in the magazine. The Zündfolge has two staff members who are on the Board.
- Track—Manages all aspects of the Club's high-speed track driving program. Track also has two committee members on the Board.
- Web Site Coordinator—Handles everything on the Club's web site.
- Risk Management—Responsible for insurance, risk management and legal issues.
Besides Board positions, there are other ways to get involved. One is to just attend Board meetings as a general member. Another way is to get involved with one of the committees that the Club has. These include the track driving events committee, the Zündfolge staff and the Concours d'Elegance committee. There is also the opportunity to chair an event such as a general meeting, tour, rally or tech session. Getting involved in one of these committees or chairing an event is probably the best way to find out whether you might enjoy a Board position in the future.
For those that would like to run for one of the elected Board positions for 2013, please contact Michelle at the link below, or send your expression of interest to the Club post office box. We can tell you more about the duties of each position are and what to expect in the way of a time commitment. The deadline is October 15th. If there are any contested positions, there will be a ballot and candidacy statements in the November/December Zündfolge.
Board terms are for the calendar year. Election results will be announced in the February Zündfolge.
If interested in helping out, please contact President Michelle Miller
The nominations committee is Michelle Miller, Steve Questad and Dane Martin.

Like if you start to hate someone... it's almost impossible to let go of that hate.
Most Helpful Guy
Well for some. Some people just can't even stay mad. Other people, like me, have to be extremely hurt and wronged to hate you. I may let go, but it will take some time.
Others, like my friend, hold a grudge past death. She'll stay mad at you in heaven or hell or whatever you believe in. If she's reincarnated, I'm pretty sure that person will find a way to hate the bloodline of the person.00|00|0
