Seniors against Obamacare

  
I received my "Obamacare enrollment packet”
2162B3EF60694B039DF1C832F20C0749

I wanted to let you know that earlier today I received my  "Obamacare enrollment packet” from the White House.

It contained:
· An aspirin and a band-aid.
· An 'Obama Hope & Change' bumper sticker
· A 'Bush's Fault' yard sign
· A 'Blame Republicans first, then anybody and everybody'  poster
· A 'Tax the Rich' banner
· An application for unemployment and a free cellphone
· An application for food stamps
· A prayer rug
· A letter assigning my debt to my grandchildren
· And lastly, a coupon for a machine that blows smoke up my ass.

Everything was made in "China" and all directions were in Spanish.
Keep an eye out. Yours should be arriving soon.

Hayley Tsukayama Washington Post: Windows 8.1 launches, with some familiar touches

Windows 8.1 launches, with some familiar touches

By Hayley Tsukayama, Thursday, October 17, 2013


Microsoft’s latest operating system update, Windows 8.1 is now available. The new update brings back at least one of the familiar touches that users missed after the company launched its major system overhaul, Windows 8, last year: the start button.

The button has become a sort of rallying point for Windows 8 critics who were not big fans of the decision to change the look of the operating system to a grid-like pattern meant to work on touchscreens in addition to a keyboard and mouse. Consequently, it was one of the main rollbacks of the Windows 8.1 update, along with the ability to boot the computer straight to the desktop rather than to the Microsoft 8 start screen.

The return of the start button, however, doesn’t mean the return of the start button menu — instead … Read more: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/windows-81-launches-with-some-familiar-touches/2013/10/17/5801ae38-373a-11e3-80c6-7e6dd8d22d8f_story.html?wpisrc=nl_tech

Carroll loses links to its past in Ruth Leppo and Elmer Lippy [Eagle Archives]

Carroll loses links to its past in Ruth Leppo and Elmer Lippy [Eagle Archives]

By Kevin Dayhoff, October 16, 2013

In the past week the Carroll County community has lost two storied and celebrated links to our past. Elmer C. Lippy, Jr., 93, of Manchester, died Oct. 13 at the Long View Nursing Home in Manchester. Ruth Ellen Leppo, 75, of Westminster, died Oct. 12 at the Carroll Lutheran Village Health Care Center.

Leppo was a substitute teacher for many years at Westminster and Elmer Wolfe Elementary Schools. Moreover she was well-known and beloved by much of the law enforcement community as the wife of the late, long-serving Westminster Police Chief, Sam Leppo, who died at the age of 53 in an off-duty automobile accident on Aug. 4, 1999.


Lippy’s long-standing tenure as an elected official was chronicled in a March 30, 1999 article in the Baltimore Sun: “Lippy has served split stints as mayor and one term as county commissioner since retiring in 1985 as a senior chemist with Lever Bros. in Baltimore. A Democrat, he served on the Town Council for two years before his election as mayor in 1987. He won his second four-year term in 1995, defeating his second cousin for the job. Lippy was a county commissioner from 1990 to 1994. He lost his bid for a second term in 1994 and ran unsuccessfully for Orphan's Court judge last fall….”


Stop and think of any great Carroll Countian that has gone on before us, and remember that history is often the sanitized and romanticized version of difficult events, in which ordinary folks stepped up to do extraordinary things.  Their accomplishments are the stuff of legend, but their day-to-day struggle to make a difference was the stuff of great sacrifice.

Carroll County has been fortunate to have many native sons and daughters who made a difference in our community. Ruth Leppo and Elmer Lippy are remembered fondly as great community leaders who forged links from the past and influenced our future. I had the distinct honor and privilege of having worked with both individuals.

Chai It Out — Here's the Scoop: Biride's versus The Cup

Chai It Out — Here's the Scoop: Biride's versus The Cup:

Hello lovely tea drinkers!
Today I went to Birdie’s Cafe and The Cup Tea Bar and interviewed the employees about the chai beverages served at each location. (Don’t worry, I made sure it was okay with them to post their answers online). Surprisingly enough, I got vastly different responses from the two of them, showing that a variety of chai beverages are available in a mere two minute car ride... http://chaitout.tumblr.com/post/62263771496/heres-the-scoop-birides-versus-the-cup
