No reasonable observer or jury would see the directive "as endorsing Islam or disapproving of Christianity," the judge wrote. Jordan and Deputy Chief Daryl Webster handled the invitation in a "conscientious" manner, and ensured "the visit's religious aspects were minimal and not required,"...

Nope - the officer was NOT required to participate in a church service. He was required to represent the police dept [or find a substitute to attend in his place] at an event to show appreciation for the department. Exactly the sort of community relations/PR events the police attend all the...

If presence equals participation, there'd be no uneducated students. ;) One doesn't need to attend church to worship, and vice versa. We tend to think otherwise, because we have freedom of religion, but not everyone who attends church is a believer, or follower of the doctrine.

PROBABLE CAUSE The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the Miriam, Nevada, accident was the truck driver’s delayed braking and the failure of John Davis Trucking to adequately maintain the brakes on the accident truck. Contributing to the number of...

IMO, Garmin is the gold standard. [I don't drive t/t now, but have, and only wish I'd had a GPS then, lol]. Provided it offers truck routing, it is quite accurate and affordable - though I will never go without an actual atlas, and use them together. If you do a search [particularly in the Tech...

But it's my deeply held conviction that the world needs more color, and I refuse to compromise that belief, so just deal with it. :p Seriously, the officer wasn't required [or expected] to participate in a religious service, just to observe - is that something his principles wouldn't allow? I've...

"Ensure this never happens again"? Highly unlikely: build a better mousetrap, right? "Parental involvement"? Seriously: as if the act of having offspring confers wisdom and responsibility. [Huge snort] And even if it did, there are some offspring who are simply beyond control, or even reach...

"Fields [the officer] believed the order was unlawful, as it conflicted with his religious convictions." Really? Which convictions forbid any observation and/or learning anything of other religions? And why? Was Officer Fields concerned that he might be persuaded to convert, or just that he...

I'm not surprised the media makes it such an obsession, news being far more cost effective than entertainment, I'm just surprised that people go along, wanting ALL the gruesome details. Like rubberneckers - they deserve to have nightmares, IMO. But the killer's family doesn't deserve the...

Whatever other warped, sick desires cause someone to kill innocent people, I believe the idea of notoriety [even posthumous!] plays some part in their planning. The media should refuse to cooperate - simply identify the guilty party [or suspect] as an anonymous individual afflicted by mental...

Ever since one of my daughters pointed out the sign with the last 3 letters missing, we call it 'The Waffle Ho' - and we like the food! ;)

I'm assuming WV will post detours, as NC did for the closure of 40 a couple years ago - this could take awhile to fix.

Just N of Charleston, near Sissonville - a bit NE of Institute, maybe 15 mi?

Myxer - Ringtones - Make and Download Ringtones I hadn't done this in years, and forgot how cool it is! On the right side of the page is a "Make your own" spot, where you can choose music you have already, or record a vocal, or whatever - it's free and easy and coolio, lol. :o

North @ mm111, south @ mm 114, due to a gas explosion. No further details just yet.

Are there many unrelated teams in expedite? I would guess there aren't, which makes the concept of 'lead driver' moot. [Moot, of course, is always the lead driver.] :p

Rather than curse the darkness, ever think of lighting a candle, by volunteering for a literacy aid project?

I agree: in expedite, tolls should be paid by the shipper, as part of the door to door service. Especially when they're unavoidable, like the bridges.

Dude - how am I supposed to know what you remember, when I can't remember half of what I remember?! :o
