Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
Brother with $20,000 in debts dies leaving a $10,000 life policy naming his other brother as beneficiary. Can decedent's creditors come after other brother?
2 Answers from Attorneys
No -- unless the living brother co-signed or otherwise guaranteed the deceased brother's debts. The life insurance money passes outside of the deceased's estate, so creditors have no claim to it. Hope this helps.
Cary B. Hall, Esquire

No. Again, the exception would be that if the surviving brother guaranteed the debts (co-signing a car note for example) or otherwise agreed to be financially responsible, then the creditors could sue. However, the creditors have no claim against the insurance proceeds and the surviving brother can do whatever he wants with the cash.

Lactic-acid bacterium, plural lactic-acid bacteria, any member of several genera of gram-positive, rod- or sphere-shaped bacteria that produce lactic acid as the principal or sole end product of carbohydrate fermentation. Lactic-acid bacteria are aerotolerant anaerobes that are chiefly responsible for the pickling conditions necessary for the manufacture of pickles, sauerkraut, green olives, some varieties of sausage, and certain milk products, such as buttermilk, yogurt, and some cheeses. Under certain conditions, lactic-acid bacteria may contribute to dental caries and infective endocarditis. Important members include Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus.

Tenor drum, cylindrical drum larger and deeper toned than the closely related snare drum and lacking snares. It is usually about 18 inches (45 cm) in diameter and 14 inches (35 cm) in height and is normally beaten with two soft-headed sticks. The heads are tensioned by rope lacings or metal rods. Like the snare drum, the tenor drum descended from the medieval tabor. Though usually associated with military bands, especially since the early 19th century, it occasionally appears in orchestral scores, such as Benjamin Britten's opera The Rape of Lucretia (1946).

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — While Bo Van Pelt was flirting with a rare 59 in a third round that was close to impeccable until the last hole, Tiger Woods was getting increasingly frustrated with his mistakes at the CIMB Classic.
Van Pelt had four birdies in the first six holes, then five in a row from the eighth. He had two more birdies on the par-71 Mines Resort and Golf Club course on Saturday, and only needed another one to join an elite club to go under 60. Only five players have ever done it a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.
But he hit his approach into the greenside bunker and needed three putts, finishing with a double bogey for a 9-under 62 and a share of the third-round lead with Robert Garrigus at 16 under.
"Obviously disappointed to finish with a double bogey," Van Pelt said, "but I'm really proud of the 17 1/2 holes I played and hopefully that'll carry over into tomorrow, and not the last half."
Savannah's Brian Harman is in sixth place at 13 under after rounds of 64-70-66.
Van Pelt was seven strokes behind overnight leader Garrigus coming into the third round but got his CIMB title defense back on track with a superb round.
"I don't think I missed a fairway on the front nine," he said. "My irons were pretty sharp, and the putter, I had been close all week, and today they were going in. They weren't burning the edge."
Garrigus, who had a two-stroke lead after the second round, opened with a pair of bogeys but finished with three birdies for 69 and a 54-hole total of 197. Fellow American Chris Kirk had a 63 to move to 15 under, one clear of Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge (66) and South Africa's Jbe Kruger (69).
"I must have been tired or something," Garrigus said of his first two holes. "Didn't really have my golf swing that much today. I hit some bad shots, hit some bad putts, but sucked it up coming down there in the last."
Woods' round was the opposite.
He started with five birdies in the first eight holes but had three bogeys and a double-bogey on the back nine and finished at 69 to be in a group of five players tied at 11 under.
Thousands of people followed Woods and 2010 champion Ben Crane around the course, with the whir of camera shutters forcing Woods to stop his backswing on the fourth hole and noise or movement in the crowd causing him to pause at other times.
He'd promised to attack the course on the weekend, and he started with a birdie at the par-4 first hole. He got down to 14-under with four more birdies on the front nine to turn in 30, but then had a bogey at the 12th, a double bogey at the 14th where he had to drop a shot after hitting his tee shot in a water hazard beside the green and another bogey at 17 after missing a birdie putt. He got progressively more frustrated on the back nine and was clearly unimpressed with his round.
Champions Tour
SAN ANTONIO — Mark Calcavecchia shot a 3-under 69 to increase his lead to four strokes after the second round of the AT&T Championship.
Calcavecchia, three strokes ahead after the completion of the rain-delayed first round, had an 8-under 136 total on TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course. The Montreal Championship winner in June, he had 26 putts — one-putting the final five greens and six of the last seven.
Kenny Perry was second after his second straight 70.
LPGA Tour
YANG MEI, Taiwan — Inbee Park of South Korea shot an 8-under 64 to take a two-stroke lead after the third round of the Taiwan Championship.
Park had two eagles and five birdies and was at 18-under 198 at Sunrise Golf and Country Club.
Suzann Pettersen of Norway had six birdies in a round of 66 to sit in second place, two shots ahead of defending champion and local favorite Yani Tseng (66).

Clinical Care Options and the American College of Cardiology Launch New Online Conference Coverage Program
Apr 01, 2010, 15:54 ET from Clinical Care Options
RESTON, Va., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Clinical Care Options (CCO), a leader in the development of innovative interactive online, print, and live medical education for healthcare professionals, and the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) launched today an online conference coverage program from the ACC's 59th Annual Scientific Session (ACC.10) and i2 Summit, Innovation in Intervention in partnership with Cardiovascular Research Foundation, held March 14-16, 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We are excited about this new endeavor to deliver educational content in a unique and innovative format from ACC.10/i2 Summit to our members," said Joseph S. Green, PhD, ACC Chief Learning Officer. "Meeting attendees will benefit from a thorough review of select educational sessions, and cardiologists unable to attend this year will have unprecedented access to the important clinical data they would have otherwise missed."
ACCF's new CME-certified conference coverage from the Annual Scientific Session is designed to provide both cardiovascular care clinicians and primary care physicians with summaries of the most relevant abstracts and late-breaking science from ACC.10's General Cardiology Learning Pathway and i2 Summit. Capsule Summary modules review key oral presentations from the meeting. Panels of faculty experts then analyze and discuss the new data for clinical application in Expert Analyses modules. And finally, Expert Recaps, a multimedia activity that consists of downloadable slides and streaming audio narration by an expert in the field, summarize the key studies. "Clinicians around the world will be able to review and -- most importantly -- apply to their practice the latest clinical data presented and discussed by respected leaders in the field," said James B. McClurken, MD, FACC, ACC.10 Program Chair.
"We are honored to have been selected by the ACC to work with them to create a program that will fill a true educational gap and will have a direct impact on patient outcomes and care," said Jeffrey L. Drezner, MD, PhD, CEO of CCO.
The ACCF and CCO are partnering to combine the strengths of both organizations to bring key summaries of the meeting not only to the 20,000 attendees of ACC.10/i2 Summit but also to the thousands of clinicians unable to attend the meeting. CCO and ACC members will receive alerts and gain immediate access to the online conference coverage program beginning with the April 1 launch of Capsule Summaries.

Paragon Anew by Mark Heike
It looks as if AC Comics will be starting off 2012 with a bang, based on advance reaction to the planned January/February Bizarre Thrills: The Paragon Publications Story TPB! Diamond Comics Distribution executive Steve Leaf has made that book his Staff Pick in the December issue of Diamond Previews, which is at your local comic shop right now. A long time reader, fan, and friend-on-the inside; Steve did it up right with a quarter-page display and a long paragraph delineating why he is anxiously awaiting this volume in the Staff Picks section in the back of the Previews catalog this go-around. A big thank-you goes out to Steve, not just for the extra promo on this book, but for all the things he's done for us over the years. A true friend to the whole AC Comics operation. Of course, all of us old enough to remember the Paragon line are anxiously awaiting this volume, whether we'd had the actual original magazines or missed out on them at the time, because Paragon predated AC Comics and introduced many of the characters and concepts that the AC universe is based on. But what's in it for new readers? You may well ask. All this positivity and enthusiasm for this classic material has our publisher and head honcho Bill (Bossman) Black so fired up, he has decided to add an additional special feature to the book that will make it a must-have for all regular AC and Femforce readers. Since a lot of the strips that ran in Bill's Paragon line were ongoing series that were abruptly halted when the change-over to AC Comics occured late in 1982, Bill has decided to collaborate with penciler Eric Coile to create a totally new, never-before-seen 20-page story (starring the Femforce) that will actually resolve all the cliffhanger endings left dangling in all the major Paragon strips, 30-plus years ago, and tie in Paragon continuity (somewhat) with AC Comics continuity!! It'll be co-starring Captain Paragon, The Shade, The Star Masters, The original Scarlet Scorpion, Black Commando, Astron, The Phantom Lady, Blonde Bomber and a whole slew of others, so you know it'll be great!! Be sure to preorder a copy at your local comic book retailer today. Simply tell him you'd like the "Bizarre Thrills: The Paragon Publications Story" trade paperback found on Page 224 of the December, 2011 Previews catalog. It has the product number STK458153, and DCD item #DEC110767. Then, expect the book to be in your hands around the end of February.
Holy Toledo!!!! What more could a guy ask for? The classic Paragon stuff plus a new story with the FemForce. AC has always had a pretty good track record of tying up loose ends no matter how many years it takes. 30 years, must be some kind of record.
Great Stuff. Only you guys would take the time and effort to resolve all these stories(You care about the characters and their stories as much as we do) .Even though they are mostly before my time I am very much looking forward to reading them.
thank you for bringing them to us
Sounds like a great way to AC to start up the new year!
This new story revolves around THE STARMASTERS, sci-fi characters that I created back in high school. When I started Paragon Pubs, the STARMASTERS was the first strip I drew. Over the years I regretted that I did very little with the team in the AC Universe. Eric Coile got to draw them in FIGHTING YANK No. 4 and liked the characters. He always wanted to do a STARMASTERS story. The Splash drawing above Eric did on his own to goose me into writing a new adventure. It worked and somehow I found the time to write it. I can't wait to see Eric's pencils and we hope to post them as they come it. The story also incorporates elements from a screenplay treatment I wrote for a STARDUST animation short to follow the YANKEE GIRL GTS cartoon.
Can you give some info about how many pages, dimensions, whether there are articles as well as the comics, etc? I don't have access to Previews this month, but this sounds interesting.
Scott – Check out the solicitation on the "Coming Soon" page. Those preview articles contain the info sent to Diamond and will tell you all about the size, format, price, etc…
Make sure to tell your retailer that you want a copy. It's a huge $30 book and not likely to be something that the average retailer will order (unless they KNOW that one of their customers will want one).
It will be 200+ pages, magazine size, squarebound. No plans for articles at this time, comics only.
I've ordered my copy -but whats this about a Stardust animation short? Is that one more thing we have to look forward to in the New Year?

"There were two federal judges in the South who kicked ass and took names" in the late 1960s and '70s, Texas civil rights lawyer David Richards says. "They were Frank Johnson and Wayne Justice." Johnson died earlier this year. At 80, William Wayne Justice is still taking names.
The latest is that of Texas Governor George W. Bush, whose administration Justice rebuked for failing to provide services to children who are already qualified for Medicaid. In late August, Bush was caught flat-footed when reporters asked about a 175-page ruling in a suit, filed in 1993, in which Justice–the original judge in the case–found that the state had failed to comply with a consent decree it negotiated in 1996 to provide specific services to qualified Medicaid recipients. When Republican state Attorney General John Cornyn requested a stay, Justice denied the request (later overvalued); he observed that the state has "restricted children's access to care and caused numerous instances of otherwise preventable disease. Any further delay in acting…will prolong the suffering." Bush's director of communications, Karen Hughes, dismissed Justice's order as the work of a "liberal activist judge," while Bush himself insisted, "We've got a good record signing up kids for Medicaid. We intend to continue to do so. We're a compassionate state."
Justice's ruling in the case is of a piece with those he has been handing down for three decades. Many of the decisions were informed by Justice's childhood experiences in deep East Texas, a place that thirty years ago was as rigidly segregated as the Mississippi Delta. Justice grew up in his father's law office in Athens, where during the Depression clients would pay legal fees "with black-eyed peas and roastin' ears." He was bewildered by segregation, offended by the economic injustice that accompanied it and enamored of the law. If George W. Bush represents the "new Texas," where the leisure class holds court in skyboxes at the Ballpark in Arlington or Enron Field in Houston, William Wayne Justice–a scholarly Courthouse Square lawyer who made it all the way to the federal bench–represents the best liberal tradition of the "old Texas."
"From my perspective, he believed his job was to be an advocate for justice. He would go out of his way to listen to the evidence and try to achieve justice," said Larry Daves, who moved to East Texas before he got out of law school so that he could begin working on cases in Justice's courtroom.
Since his appointment to the federal bench by Lyndon Johnson in 1968, Justice has heard most of his cases in Tyler, a conservative town of 84,000 built by railroad, oil and farm money. The civil rights movement never quite arrived in East Texas, and in the early 1970s there was not a single African-American holding elected office in the forty-three counties of the Eastern District. "East Texas is the Deep South," Justice said in his office in Austin, where he moved two years ago. "The white, or Caucasian, community there was very fearful about any threat to what it considered its traditional way of life. I didn't have a lot of sympathy for them…when they were in violation of federal law or the Constitution."

FisicaLab (can be pronounced as PhysicsLab) is an educational application to
solve physics problems. Its main objective is let the user to focus in physics
concepts, leaving aside the mathematical details (FisicaLab take care of them).
This allows the user to become familiar with the physical concepts without
running the risk of getting lost in mathematical details. And so, when the user
gain confidence in applying physical concepts, will be better prepared to solve
the problems by hand (with pen and paper). The latest release of FisicaLab have
the following modules:
- Kinematics of particles 2D.
- Circular kinematics of particles 2D.
- Static of particles 2D.
- Static of rigid bodies 2D.
- Dynamics of particles 2D.
- Circular dynamics of particles 2D.
- Heat, calorimetry, ideal gas and expansion.

Rain is expected to hit San Diego County during the morningcommute today, according to the National Weather Service.
There's a 70 percent chance of rain this morning, decreasing to 40 percent tomorrow, according to NWS forecasters.
The region's latest storm is coming from the Pacific Northwest, bringing only light showers this morning but strengthening later this afternoon, NWS forecaster Greg Martin said.
About a half-inch of rain is expected along the coast and in the valleys, 1 inch in the mountains and up to a quarter-inch in the deserts, Martin said.
"We expect the rain to last until Friday night, bringing us a dry weekend," Martin said.
Highs today will be 60 to 72 along the coast and in the valleys, 53 to 62 in the mountains and 75 to 85 in the deserts.
The current rainfall season, which began in July, is the third-wettest in San Diego history, according to the NWS.
Since July 1, 22.35 inches of rain has fallen at Lindbergh Field, compared to 10.5 inches in an average 12-month period. The wettest season on record was 1883-84, when 25.97 inches of rain fell in San Diego. CNS-05-5-2005 04:31

With this release, RCD announces the expansion of its Sentry AST™ product line from five to ten commercially available models: Ultra Slim, Slim, Metal, Worldwide, Multi-Surface, Duo, Autoclave, Extreme, High Temp, and Long Range. The new Sentry AST™models were showcased at the RFID in Defense and Security conference on November 17th, 2011 in Arlington, VA. A brief description of each model is included at the end of this release.
"This game-changing technology offers system integrators and end users alike the choice of high performance 'off the shelf' RFID tags or the option to affordably tailor a tag to meet their exact requirements," stated Ken Horton, CEO, RCD Technology. Horton continues, "We offer a rapid prototyping service that can produce pilot units of a customized RFID tag in as little as two weeks. The versatility of our patent pending tag design and the printed circuit board RFID platform, provides options to our customers that are unique in the industry."
Unlike plastic-wrapped inlays, the RCD antenna is integrated with aerospace-grade materials to ensure that customers receive RFID tags which perform as required for their specified application. This extra measure of confidence and performance is critical, especially in applications where small reductions in error rates or improvements in read reliability can have a triple digit impact on the ROI of the project.
Phil Koppenhofer, Vice President of Sales, adds, "We work with customers who have a specified need and then we match one of our Sentry AST™ platform products to that need. For OEM or similar-scale applications, this platform offers a unique opportunity to integrate our tag technology into their component for seamless, cost-effective design."

Sentry AST™ line of Application-Specific Rigid RFID Tags
About the thickness of a quarter, the Sentry AST™ Ultra Slim is the thinnest offering in the Sentry AST product line. It is frequency optimized and features an impressive 2 - 4 foot read range when mounted on metal surfaces. The Ultra Slim has also been proven to perform well in a high tag density environment and is recommended for sample tracking applications.
Sentry AST™ Slim is a small footprint mount-on-metal tag that provides the read range and low profile desired on many IT assets, including laptops, networking equipment, and servers in data centers. At 0.1" thick, it is the thinnest tag available that meets FSTC (Financial Services Technology Consortium) requirements in the U.S. frequency band. The Slim can be ordered tuned for use in other frequency bands.
Sentry AST™ Metal has excellent read range performance-to-size ratio for tracking high value metal assets, such as IT components, steel mill assets, containers or hospital equipment. An inherently durable tag, Sentry AST™ Metal is manufactured using aerospace-grade material and features 12-15' read distances.
Sentry AST™ Worldwide is the first and only global mount-on-metal tag to work in all UHF frequencies (including Japan) and meet the FSTC requirements in a small form factor. It is designed for tracking assets around the world.
Sentry AST™ Multi-Surface has the same footprint and durable construction as the Sentry AST™Metal and Sentry AST™Worldwide. This tag is tuned to exceed FSTC requirements, whether mounted on metal or non-metal surfaces making this an ideal tag to deploy in material diverse environments.
Sentry AST™Duo maximizes performance and versatility in one rugged, compact design. With an average read range of two meters in U.S. or European frequencies, whether mounted on metal, non-metal, or as a hang-tag on equipment, the Duo delivers the most options from a single tag. It is provided with a high performance adhesive and an integrated slot for hanging.
Sentry AST™Autoclave is designed specifically for tracking high value medical, healthcare, laboratory, and veterinary assets or trays of assets through hundreds of autoclave or high temperature cycles. This robust tag provides a 4-6' read distance on metal. It incorporates specific designs that protect the chip-to-antennae bond to withstand autoclave temperature and pressure cycles. When you add an application-specific adhesive and durable label to the design, this tag performs consistently cycle after cycle.
Sentry AST™High Temp leverages both the rugged aerospace grade infrastructure and added IC and bonding protection to achieve performance on metal after many oven cycles up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. With a 6-10' read distance, it is also the tag of choice in heavy industrial environments, such as steel mills and process industries with demanding operating conditions. The tag can be mounted in a metal cavity and affixed with epoxy for construction assets.
Sentry AST™Extreme is engineered for use in external environments due to its resistance to temperature, moisture, and many chemical sprays. Offering a 6-10' read range on metal, plastic or mounted in free space, this tag for "extreme conditions" is often used to reliably track outdoor assets and in applications in which additional protection of the chip-to-antennae bond is warranted.
Sentry AST™Long Range provides exceptional read distances of 45' in a sleek, compact and durable package. Engineered for use on a wide range of surfaces including metal, wood and most plastics, the Sentry AST™Long Range is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of outdoor and industrial environments. This high durability tag is manufactured from aerospace-grade materials and encapsulated, mounts with a high performance adhesive, epoxy, or rivets, and is smaller than any tag of comparable performance.

KY--Merry Christmas
See--Vor, Squatch and Loch Nestle ain't as mean as the rest of them on this thread.

KY--Merry Christmas
KyW--you may or my not know this:
Left click somewhere on the thread and then press "end"--It will take you to the bottom without having to scroll down with the mouse wheel.
LOL Jim.
That is the first time in my life I ever darkened the door of a store on Black Friday. (had to buy a new pair of pants to go to a funeral on Sat.)
What a nightmare!!!!!!---had to use pepper spray to get to the check out counter.
Thanks, Vort!
That trick doesn't work on 26.4kbps dialup, unfortunately. I have to wait forever for the page to load enough so that "Skip to New" or the "end" button works. I'm asking Santa for cable-internet if it's even available here. Maybe the chipmunk running in my hard drive is just getting old. *sigh*
LOL--poor chipmunk.
I recommend upgrading to a deer mouse. Those little buggers are fast!
I believe you, Vort. and just for the record I only watched the killer turkey movie because I was confined to a hospital bed and the channel pickings were slim. A mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do. (Jim)
Hope your doing better Jim
LOL I've been catching deer mice at work and releasing them into our woods. They have lots of country cousins here to help them transition from city mice to country mice!
Squatch and I were scheduled to dust the inside of the house today but the pressure washer and the leaf blower would not start. Oh well.
ROFL Wow, you don't have dust rabbits, you must have dust DINOSAURS, huh?
I watched the killer turkey movie on a long ago Thanksgiving, but thanks., VORT.
Wow, you must be fast, KY! I had a deer mouse get into the house when I was replacing the dishwasher and there was an opening to the outside. I thought I would never catch that guy. Sansai thought he was cute with his over-sized anime eyes and was impressed by his climbing skills. She even named him. She pitched a fit when I pulled out the snap traps. The dogs finally cornered him. Deer mice have a strong instinct to create catches of food. More than one morning while he was in residence I found Benefull stashed in my sock drawer. (Jim)
LOL I use a Havahart trap.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and volunteered to keep the Science class's pet Rat over the summer. He got out and built his bed in one of my brothers' baseball caps in a dresser. We spent several days looking for him, till my brother opened his drawer to get out the hat. He was one of those Gray and White ones, and would sit on your shoulder and ride around, hanging out and other than that never caused a problem.
Trudy says there are no killer turkey's only humans with phobia's.
Spent this evening making cookies...peanut butter, and peanut butter chocolate chip, COULDN'T DO PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BASIL CHIP CAUSE SOMEBODY WON'T SHARE.... and YOU know WHO you are............
I was going to send CB seeds to everyone on here for Christmas but Squatch checked his "naughty and nice list" and none of you were on his nice list!
Maybe next year you all will be nicer to us. Harruump.
Would Squatch give us his definitions of 'naughty and nice?' Just so we know what we should strive for--either way. (snicker)
Breaking news.
Squatch just announced his candidacy for president as a 4th party contender.
A Chocolate Basil fondue in every kitchen and an mjs, and her pet rat, in every pot.
Free psychiatric care for life for all DG members.
No more droughts or floods in the future.
Free lifetime supply of certified organic fertilizer to all from his personal bull farm.
A Havahart trap under every Christmas tree.
A lifetime supply of deer meeces to that person from Ky with a free $50 upgrade to a jet-black guinea pig if rebate is submitted yesterday.
A Venezuelan jet-black guinea pig to all to take over the hard disc operations for all of the "dial-ups"
"Venezuelan jet-black guinea pigs can run speeds of about 37-41 mph"-(Never knew that before Google educated me).
A smoked killer turkey for Jim.
A free definition of naughty or nice to Debra.
A full pardon and lifetime subsidy to Chipmunks and Deer mice that have been previously enslaved by these cruel folks on DG and replaced by that little rascal guinea pig.
To speak with the candidate in person call BR-549 toll free.
For a FREE bumper sticker --please send 2586 postal stamps in a self addressed envelope to:
C/O "North-East-Central Texas or thereabouts"
"Just North of Area 51" on whatever that new highway number is.
Wow, free psychiatric care for all of us is gonna cost somebody a bundle, LOL.
They'll have to start taxing CB to pay for that.
I vote we stay crazy, then. :-)
Crazy is more fun, anyway!
I enjoy my little bit of crazy pretty significantly. ;)
Sane people are scary. They take themselves way to seriously.
There is a rumor floating around the blogosphere that Ms. Claus is planning to run. If it is true, I will have to vote for her. But, just out of curiosity, who is Squatch�s vice-presidential running mate, Vort? ~N~
Loch Nestle for VP of course!!!
Ole Dodge is thinking of running against them...
Oh...and I'd be delighted to get dunked in a pot of Chocolate Fondue 0^0 !
This message was edited Dec 7, 2011 2:59 PM
And you really think that Ol Dodge or Ms Claus might have a chance against such ruthless politicians as Squatch and Loch Nestle?
Me thinks you are entering the race just to get dunked in the fondue pot of CB--but you must leave the pet rat behind.
ps. I hired a psychiatrist on retainer but she mysteriously resigned after perusing this thread.
Go figure!
Absolutely no one can match the promise of a free lifetime supply of organic fertilizer from Squatch's bull farm. :)
Sansai87--I knew it!!!!!!! You are truly a "fair weather friend"
Wellllllllllllllllllll now, where would YOU rather be this time of year...........in a political race, or a soooothing tub of chocolate..........
Really Vort...you and Squatch are slipping...........
This message was edited Dec 8, 2011 1:46 AM
I don't have time to be involved in politics right now, I'm busy working on our new line of fragrance productss, CB Bliss.
Ms. Bear is bankrolling the enterprise. Do you think you could take charge of the bath product line, mjs? LadyBear likes the way you think. k*
I�ll vote the Squatch/Nestle ticket. Sure, Mrs. Claus has name recognition, the good will of the voters and a spotless reputation, but what do we REALLY know about her. I�ve known about Mrs. Claus for over 40 years, but I don�t even know the lady�s first name. I suspect she heads up Santa�s Secret Service. We�ve all seen Santa READING the N&N list, but have you ever stopped to think who COMPILES the list. I think I know!
We know Squatch ain�t perfect, but few public figures have been as thoroughly investigated. Think of how many TV programs you�ve seen that delve into every aspect of Sasquatch life. Now, consider how many investigations there have been into Mrs. Claus. I haven�t seen a single show about her on the Discovery channel. Before you vote, you might want to stop and ask yourself why that might be.
We are talking about a woman who hangs out all year with Abominable Snow Monsters, the black sheep of Squatch�s family. And, they don�t seem to give her any trouble. Why is that? What�s she got on them? I say someone with such a wholesome, squeaky clean reputation has to be compensating. (Jim)
This message was edited Dec 7, 2011 11:30 PM
I see bumper stickers in our future. lol
Y'all give me some ideas of what you would like to see on bumper stickers. I can design and post here. Whatever ones are chosen by Squatch and Mrs. Claus, I can get printed at cost and mailed. My Christmas present to the two campaigns. :-)
Great idea----put me down for 4 when they are designed.
Sorry mjs--Ol Dodge just needs to withdraw from the race.
Mrs. Clause stands no chance so it looks like Squatch is a shoe in.
What would Squatch like to see on his?
Squatch sez--a photo of the handsome devil and the words "Sasquatch for Prez"
"Yes We Can..dy"
I thought anyone reading this thread was already getting a free supply of fertilizer from Squatch's bull Farm?
Seacane just discovered that with a can of "Stop Leak" in the radiator, a little duct tape and some CB sprinkled in the gas tank, his old Dodge Dakota has, at least, another 2 years in her. Squatch shouldn't count on the votes of anyone who owns an old Dodge, VORT. ~N~
Okee, been away for a couple of days, but will try to get some drafts to you tomorrow.
LOL ~N~ (DOES THAT STAND FOR "Nazi"? ) ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND!!!
I'll have you know that I bought a 1975 Dodge truck new and drove it for 25 years.
Until Squatch ate it.

This week Drakes' Chairman, David Aisher, flew down to Polypipe's now famous regatta and joined over 50 yachts for races around Port Solent.
Along with the Chairman, Drakes brought many a salty sea dog with a crew consisting of customers and staff alike - all enjoying a free day of sailing and fundraising thanks to their favourite independent plumbers' merchant.
Although at the helm of a different boat than he was used to, David fought the changeable conditions and led Drakes to an overall 11th place finish with a 4th place class finish.
After racing, the team joined a prize-giving event back on shore and a prize of another free day's sailing was raffled by Drakes; raising over £2,000 for Help the Heroes.
If you're interested in taking part in these regular events held or attended by Drakes then speak to your local branch team.
We're here to support tradespeople both on and off the job and if you're interested in something we can help with then let us know!
We are running a simple promotion for anyone interested in purchasing a new bathroom suite!
Choose from a wide range of Heritage WCs, cisterns, seats, levers, basins & pedestals, washstands or vanity units and receive your choice of basin taps absolutely FREE!
Plus! If you add any bath and bath panel to your order then you can also choose any matching bath taps for FREE!
All you have to do is purchase a 4-piece Heritage set and then decide which taps you want as your free gift from Drakes.

It was another glorious day at Hever Golf Club in Edenbridge, Kent, as we took over for our 16th Annual Drakes Golf Day.
The Championship 18 hole Course has been showcased on Sky Sports and has played host to prestigious events including The Kent Amateur Championships, Euro Pro Tour and the Kent PGA Championships. This week it was treated to the South Easts finest in plumbing and heating as we welcomed our customers for a day of golf, fine dining and charity raffles.
The backdrop of beautiful surroundings makes playing this course a real pleasure and our 4-ball stableford format allowed for some competitive and impressive golf.
Not only here for our customers, Drakes also arranged the whole day to support company charity Hospice in the Weald. This is a local charity providing care and support for terminally ill patients and their families. Thanks to the contributions of customers and suppliers our Golf Day raised over £2,500 for this worthy cause.
Charity wasn't the only winner though as we congratulate the best golfers of the day:
Overall winner
John Faulkner (Drakes Whitstable customer)
Robert Earl (Drakes Sevenoaks customer)
John Faulkner (Drakes Whitstable customer)
Kevin Carrie (Supplier Polypipe)
Longest drive:
John Faulkner (Drakes Whitstable customer)
Nearest the pin

Have a look through some photos from the day and if you are interested in attending future customer days or Drakes events then speak to your local branch team and register your interest today.
Drakes Sevenoaks recently had the pleasure of serving one Mrs Gahan, a customer recommended to use Drakes by one of our long serving account customers John Glover.
Mrs Gahan was so pleased with her new bathroom and the exceptional service that she received from our Showroom Consultant Claire that she arranged for roses to be delivered to show her appreciation.
Another example of top-level customer service and products from Drakes, your local independent plumbers' merchant for all!

Zombies of Hollywood vs. Video Game Zombies
Zombies can't be defeated.
Ever since the original Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been amongst the most popular fictional antagonists around. Sure, their popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years, with another huge wave of zombie popularity arising during the George W. Bush years. During those years, we saw the release of movies like 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, the Dawn of the Dead remake and many more, as well as popular books like The Zombie Survival Guide and its pseudo-sequel World War Z.
I mention the previous president because the walking dead fad was expected to dwindle as the new administration came into office, as described by this fascinating article about how the popularity of zombies and vampires alternate based on which party is in power in Washington.
The author was right on about the rise in popularity of the vampire. But, as we all know, zombies haven't gone anywhere.
High-brow cable network AMC is launching the big-budget zombie show The Walking Dead this Halloween. A new Resident Evil movie is right around the corner. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was a literary smash. And, of course, Dead Rising 2 will soon bring zombies back to home consoles.
You may already be mowing down the undead in Dead Rising: Case Zero, the new downloadable game that introduces Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene and the sequel's newly refined zombie-killing gameplay. Check it out if you want to bust some undead heads.
Zombies are the perfect video game enemy. They're scary, there are an infinite number of them, and they're not quite human, so you don't have to feel bad about slaughtering them.
That's why Hollywood's zombies would beat video game zombies in a fight.
Despite their obvious similarities, there's a wide spread between what zombies mean in film and in games. No matter what social subject matter you hang on them in a film, movie zombies are inevitable. They're legion; never-ending. Even if characters make it out of a movie alive, you're often left with the feeling that doom is following close behind them. Bullets are scarce and so is food. There are no save points or extra lives. One bite and you're done.
In zombie movies, death is always around the corner. And it will catch up eventually.
Even in games like Resident Evil that treat zombies as credible threats, the player will still always come out on top. A standard Resident Evil zombie isn't really a hazard all by itself. In the early games, the tension comes from whether or not it's worth it to use your precious ammo on a standard zombie. In later games, their threat comes from their numbers. The size of the crowd is what determines the danger of the undead in games like Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: World at War's Nazi Zombies mode, the aforementioned Dead Rising games, and more.
But we the gamers still come out on top.
Zombies in games are and always will be obstacles to be overcome, challenges to conquer. No matter their numbers, there will always be a weapon that will help you overcome it, provided you have the skill.
You'll make it out alive.
But would you survive a zombie movie?
Probably not.
Sorry, it's nothing personal. But your zombie-killing skills wouldn't be much help against movie zombies. As much as it pains me to admit it, they'd tear our beloved video game zombies to pieces.
And don't get me started about REAL zombies. Those guys are the worst of them all.

Legion has strong presence at VOWS event
The American Legion had a strong presence at the inaugural Veterans on Wall Street (VOWS) Conference & Hiring Fair at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City on June 23. The Legion operated two booths at the site of the restored World War II aircraft carrier - one with a representative from the organization's human relations department and another that featured Joe Sharpe, the Legion's Economic Division director, and service officers from the Department of New York.
Veterans who attended the VOWS event got the opportunity to network with representatives from many of the companies and organizations present - some of which were hiring on the spot. Also on hand were officials from each financial institution that comprises VOWS, a conglomeration of five firms - Bank of America, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman and Sachs - that aims to help veterans reenter the workforce after their separation from the military. Employees from these firms gave attendees counsel on the job-search process and even took résumés for positions they have open within their corporations.
"The big component is teaching veterans and the (human relations) representatives, what is the value of a veteran and then to teach the veterans how to talk to HR representatives," said Christopher Page, vice president of Citi's risk management department and an event coordinator. "(Veterans) get out and they don't know how to build a résumé, so we help them build a résumé. We help transfer their military skills in order to help them as civilians."
Around 100 companies and organizations were on hand meeting candidates and accepting résumés. The American Legion was among them. A representative from its HR department interviewed candidates and took résumés from veterans who wanted to apply for one of the six open positions for which the Legion was hiring.
Page said organizations like the Legion are essential to VOWS because they have a unique understanding for the military demographic.
"The VSOs, we rely on them to help educate us on the needs of the veterans," Page said. "They know veterans, and they understand the speak."
Undoubtedly, more veterans will be looking for work in the future, as the troop drawdown begins in Afghanistan and more men and women return from overseas. Sharpe says that will make VOWS's mission even more important.
"The firms that make up VOWS are some of the biggest and most esteemed in the financial world," Sharpe said. "That puts them in the perfect position to help veterans find work in a field where veterans need a greater presence. The Legion is here to lend its support."
