They've got a "Pull Over to Stop Obama" sign sitting on the yellow painted curb in front of the Post Office.
Someone painted it yellow there a long time ago to make drivers more aware that it is illegal to pull over there.

"How odd is his voice, how odd his manner of speaking and his way of moving. It is no surprise, therefore, that this boy also lacks understanding of other people's expressions and cannot react to them appropriately." -Hans Asperger (1944)

Know Your Rights
RULE 4:19. PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EXAMINATION OF PERSONS
In an action in which a claim is asserted by a party for personal injuries or in which the mental or physical condition of a party is in controversy, the adverse party may require the party whose physical or mental condition is in controversy to submit to a physical or mental examination by a medical or other expert by serving upon that party a notice stating with specificity when, where, and by whom the examination will be conducted and advising, to the extent practicable, as to the nature of the examination and any proposed tests. The time for the examination stated in the notice shall not be scheduled to take place prior to 45 days following the service of the notice, and a party who receives such notice and who seeks a protective order shall file a motion therefor, returnable within said 45-day period. The court may, on motion pursuant to R. 4:23-5, either compel the discovery or dismiss the pleading of a party who fails to submit to the examination, to timely move for a protective order, or to reschedule the date of and submit to the examination within a reasonable time following the originally scheduled date. A court order shall, however, be required for a reexamination by the adverse party's expert if the examined party does not consent thereto. This rule shall be applicable to all actions, whenever commenced, in which a physical or mental examination has not yet been conducted.

Rule 4:52
What a bullshit rule!
So much for innocent until proven guilty.

(a) Order to Show Cause With Temporary Restraints. On the filing of a complaint seeking injunctive relief, the plaintiff may apply for an order requiring the defendant to show cause why an interlocutory injunction should not be granted pending the disposition of the action.

Teen admits to Lakewalk beating role
Teen admits to Lakewalk beating role
Duluth News Tribune - July 02, 2010
A 16-year-old Duluth boy told a judge on Thursday that he took part in the May 20 beating that left a University of Minnesota Duluth student unconscious on the Lakewalk.
Markus Lee St. Clair admitted to a charge of first-degree assault that was brought against him in a juvenile delinquency petition. In exchange for that admission, a charge of first-degree aggravated robbery was dismissed by the St. Louis County Attorney’s Office.
St. Clair is one of four juveniles to be charged with beating Dash Johnson, and the first to admit to his role. The juveniles are accused of stealing Johnson’s wallet and cell phone. Johnson, an Arden Hills, Minn., native, had just finished his junior year at UMD, where he was majoring in communications. He had been working as a host at Little Angie’s in Canal Park and as a student intern with Visit Duluth.

Why wouldn't they say "Teen boy admits to Lakewalk beating role"?
Teen girl accused in beating my cousin
Teen girl accused in beating, sexual assault appears in court
Duluth News Tribune - June 12, 2010
A 17-year-old girl accused of taking part in beating University of Minnesota student Dash Johnson unconscious on the Lakewalk last month, and using a shampoo bottle to sexually assault an 18-year-old woman two days later, appeared in St. Louis County District Court Friday to determine if there is sufficient evidence to support the charges against her.
Julie Ann Isham, who turns 18 on June 20, is charged with first-degree assault and first-degree aggravated robbery in the May 20 beating of Johnson, who suffered traumatic brain injuries. Isham is charged with first-degree criminal sexual and third-degree assault in a separate incident on the 1300 block of East Fourth Street on May 22.
Isham and a 16-year-old girl are accused of striking the victim of the sexual assault 20 times in the head and face. The young woman suffered a broken nose and broken facial bone.

Sepultura - "We've Lost You"
No offense, but...what happened to the old Sepultura? Who is this guy bouncing around....the reason he can't stop bouncing, in my opinion, is because he does not belong in the band. Sepultura is not Sepultura without Max and Igor.
They have indeed lost me.
Top 5 Albums
1. To the Faithful Departed - The Cranberries
2. Cargo - Men at Work
3. Wildflowers - Tom Petty
4. Exodus - Bob Marley
5. Message in a Box - The Police
To The Faithful Departed is my number one album of all time, it got panned by the critics when it came out as being too serious and even morbid, but I first heard it in February 1997, a day or two after I dropped out of college because of a "nervous breakdown". I cried so much. It is exactly what I needed to hear. Special thanks to my old friend Denise Wilson for posting this video as her D's song of the Day last week:
Cargo is my second favorite album. It was another album by a major rock act criticized for lacking the blockbuster hit it's predecessor had. I add it to this list because I bought this album in New York City on May 17, 1996 when I went out for the evening, just me and my Dad, after he was diagnosed with terminal Parkinson's disease. My dad died in 2003, but now all I have to do to get some paternal advice is listen to "Settle Down My Boy" or "No Sign of Yesterday".
I bought my third favorite album, Wildflowers in New York City, too - when I was with my good friend, the late great Mister Paul Morden. That was the only time I ever went to a real Goth Club. I believe it was called the Bat Cave, but I'm not certain. Not my cup of tea, but Paul was a great friend of mine. So many great songs on Wildflowers. "Don't Fade on Me" is positively sublime. And of course, Tom Petty was the one who taught me it was "Good To Be King". I miss Paul.
***
I bought Exodus, I guess, after I came back from Ghana in 1995. There is a reason Time magazine named it the best album of the 20th century. I do not believe it is an exaggeration to say that I would not have survived my struggles without hearing the messages of hope and freedom against unfathomable odds brought to us on this record.
***
Finally, the last album on my list is a four disc set, a compilation of everything the Police ever recorded. Technically, there are five albums plus a number of extras on this set. I have to include Message In A Box on this list. It was my best friend's favorite album. My bhai sahib, the late, great Venkatesh Veeraragavan, the Gryphon to my Mock Turtle, the Yorick to my Hamlet, wanted the world to know about the importance of this album. His spirit would torment me if I did not include it here. That's okay. I agree with him. It is a phenomenal piece of work.
That's all for now. Thanks.
More anon.
