 lot of backlash. Sometimes when you make a statement, you have to be willing to accept that.
[11:25:10] BERMAN: And he knew no doubt he'd receive some backlash here.
Victor Cruz, New York Giants' wide receiver, he was asked, he said, "I think personally the flag is a flag, regardless of why you feel things are going on in America today and around the world with gun violence and things like that. You've got to respect the flag and stand up with your teammates. It's bigger than just you in my opinion."
What do you say to Victor Cruz?
BELL: I think there's a lot of different ways you can interpret this. A lot of people look at the flag symbol of the United States military. And that's something that Colin Kaepernick addressed yesterday. I give him some credit, too, for talking for about 20 minutes in the locker room, which in NFL locker rooms is an eternity for talking to the media, but, you know, facing the heat, answering the questions, explaining himself. Ways you can take this. Colin Kaepernick basically, as he explained it yesterday, was not making a statement against the U.S. military. And, in fact, he said that, you know, he thinks on a certain level that military people who are sacrificed their lives and their livelihoods have really been disrespected in a sense that the United States as a society hasn't always lived up to the ideas that, you know, it stands for and the principles it stands for. So, you know, that's the spirit that I kind of accept this protest with. And other people are going to look at it different ways. Again, being American, that's one of the rights you have. You have the First Amendment right to express yourself and freedom of speech.
BERMAN: There's another criticism when it compares to Kaepernick, essentially he's not the right person to do this, or a person in his position shouldn't be doing this. Brian Smith from the "Houston Chronicle" sports column writes, "It must be too deep, complex and multilayered for Kaepernick to comprehend the fact the only reason he's allowed to be a lifetime mega millionaire continually say stupid things and freely express his inherent and unalienable rights is because of the flag and country he proclaims to hate."
That's a different criticism here.
BELL: Yeah, well, guess what, it doesn't really matter how much money you make in terms of whether or not you have the right to express yourself, OK. I think we all understand that this is a great country in terms of the freedoms it has afforded its citizens and free dopes that allow you to express yourself. That's what we can't miss with this opportunity for Colin Kaepernick to bring attention and awareness to something that he is obviously passionate about. And one of the things I think that's really come through in listening to him is we're talking about a guy who has become educated on some of these issues and it's not easy to put your hands around a lot of these situations and, you know, basically he talked about police brutality as the single most pressing issue that he wanted to bring awareness to. I think we can take that and go even further in some of the systemic issues in our nation, pertain to African-Americans and other minorities. So the point he should not say anything because he makes money, no. I hope this really compels other people who may not make the money Kaepernick makes, citizens who may not have the platform Kaepernick has. People who are in positions of power who can do things from a business standpoint, an economic development standpoint, you know, all sorts of ways in our society that people can be inspired to do something and not just be silent.
BELL: I think that's part of the message I take away from Colin Kaepernick.
BERMAN: He has certainly reignited this discuss to say the least.
All right, Jared Bell, thanks for coming in. Really appreciate it.
All right, we have breaking news now involving former Congressman, Anthony Weiner, and his wife, Hillary Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin. News about their marriage. This is after new reports emerged about Weiner and accusations of sexting. We'll have that right after the break. I recently acquired an N scale 0-4-0 Docksider that has issues. can these still be fixed and are parts available somewhere?
Can you be more specific? Maybe a photo or two? You will need a photo hosting site.
I just did a search. I found a number of links and photos.
Maybe it was produced about 1970's. A guess.
I did find this. Maybe you can compare. Check ebay.
Wish I had seen this article before acquiring it. It came in pieces. I figure I could get parts and fix it up. Nearest I can tell it's like the top left picture and inside is like like the picture with the motor seperate on top. Top left in exploded view.
I have always been curious. I do a lot of searching on the Internet for many thing.
Slight chance you might find something on ebay.
I use DuckDuckGo for a search engine. An add on for Firefox. It does not track you like Google does.
Thanx Rich. Actually I got it from eBay. Thought it was a steal. Oh well. Shouldda researched it before buying.SEAL HARBOR – Jane Smith Zirnkilton, age 84, died of natural causes at her home in Seal Harbor on Saturday, April 30, 2016.
Josephine Jane Smith was born on April 26, 1932, in Baltimore, Md. She was the daughter of Beauchamp E. Smith and Josephine Donovan Smith. She was raised in York, Pa., where she continued to reside following her marriage to the late Frank C. Zirnkilton in 1954. Following a divorce, Mrs. Zirnkilton moved to her summer home in Seal Harbor in 1976.
Mrs. Zirnkilton attended York Collegiate Institute, the Ethel Walker School, Mt. Vernon Junior College and was graduated from Skidmore College.
In her youth, Mrs. Zirnkilton was an accomplished equestrian. After numerous riding injuries, which continued to affect Mrs. Zirnkilton throughout her life, her father encouraged her to take up sailing. Mrs. Zirnkilton began racing her Luders 16, Chinquapin, at the age of 16.
Her newfound love of sailing, coupled with her quiet, competitive drive led Mrs. Zirnkilton to early success in competitive sailing. At the age of nineteen, representing the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, she won the Women’s North American Sailing Championship, known as the “Adams Cup.” Her sailing years included many more victories. Mrs. Zirnkilton’s love of sailing and the sea would last the rest of her life. When the physical challenges of racing sailboats became limiting, she continued to spend as much time as possible on the water, traveling up and down the East Coast and the Bahamas with her Captain and companion, the late Norman Sanborn, on the Morning Star.
When not on the water, Mrs. Zirnkilton was an active volunteer in the community. While in York, she served on the White House Committee on Mental Health, the Board of Directors of the York Hospital Auxiliary, as Director of the York Hospital Fete, Christmas Seal Chairman of the York County Tuberculosis and Health Society and Vice Chairman of York Citadel Salvation Army among many other community leadership roles. After moving to Maine, Mrs. Zirnkilton was active with the Mount Desert Island Hospital, serving many years on the Board of Trustees, the Development Committee and the Hospital Auxiliary.
Mrs. Zirnkilton was a lifelong member of the Harbor Club and the Country Club of York. She was also a member of the Northeast Harbor Fleet and the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, where, to date, she is the only woman ever to have served as commodore.
Mrs. Zirnkilton was known for always asking how she could be of help to others. She will be forever remembered by her children for her unconditional love and compassion. She is survived by her three children and their spouses: Frank C. Zirnkilton, Jr. and his wife Katie (St. Davids, PA), Stephen M. Zirnkilton and his wife Stephanie (Seal Harbor, ME) and Jane Z. Rouse and her husband Tom (Timonium, MD). She is also survived by seven grandchildren: Sarah Zirnkilton, Stephen Zirnkilton Jr., Allison Rouse, Alexander Rouse, Beauchamp Zirnkilton, Heidi Zirnkilton and Peter Zirnkilton.
Memorial services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to the Mount Desert Island Hospital, the Seal Harbor Village Improvement Society, the Seal Harbor Library Association, the United Church of Christ, Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor, c/o Abby Chapel or The First Moravian Church of York, Penn.
The presence of natural resources in most local communities has failed to bring fortunes and herald economic development. This is attributable to a series of conflicts emerging from mining companies, unregistered artisanal miners and eviction of local communities who rely on farming.
The exploration and extraction of gold in Penhalonga takes place at both formal and informal levels, with the former being done by established mining companies such as Redwing Mine and registered small-scale miners, whilst the latter is being done by artisanal miners
