Area artists paint the town during book signing

BOONSBORO, Md.—

Area artists set up easels and painted in the cold morning air Saturday as throngs of best-selling author Nora Roberts’ fans lined up for a noon book signing.

Promotions bill Roberts’ “Inn BoonsBoro” trilogy as being “inspired by the inn (she) owns and the town she loves.” The inn referenced is the boutique-style bed-and-breakfast hotel of the same name as the trilogy on the square in Boonsboro. Roberts updated the property in 2008 with a $3 million renovation. ... http://www.herald-mail.com/news/hm-area-artists-paint-the-town-during-book-signing-20121103%2C0%2C2685631.story

Sandy – The Historic Unwelcome Guest

October 31, 2012 Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5433

The last thing we expected, in a year full of the unexpected, was a late tropical storm, with a friendly moniker like Hurricane Sandy, making an unwanted appearance on our calendar.

For too many, it was an uninvited guest in our living room. For others, it came and went, leaving us in the dark, with fewer trees, and in return, left behind plenty of water – as in water, water everywhere.

You know, in Maryland, once the trees have begun to show-off their fall season colorful display, the days have started to get shorter, and the temperature leaves a nip in the air, one begins to think snow, ice, and winter – but not hurricanes.

We often associate hurricane season with unpleasant weather events that ruin the best of plans during the summer and fall months of June through November. Those of us who enjoy visiting the south during the summer have learned, in some instances the hard way, to keep an eye on the weather. Nothing can ruin a rare vacation – or even a writing assignment – worse than coordinating your schedule with the random vagaries of a hurricane.

We usually endure the wrath of hurricanes and tropical storms during the months of July and September. Once Labor Day comes and goes, we usually think that we’re in the clear; well, except for “nor’easters,” storms that resemble ‘winter-hurricanes,’ that form in the southeast and travel north.

The storm quickly caught the eye of many seasoned hurricane scientists who dubbed it Frankenstorm… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5433

Taylorsville United Methodist Church: The Story Chap 9 Intro Accepting Foreigners

The Story Chapter 9 Introduction

OCT 30, 2012

Ruth gleaning the fields of grain.

Chapter 9 continues in The Story with a family saga that is so real that it could almost be any of our families. This story could be placed in almost any place or context. It is about a family of Israelites that could not find food during the famine and so they went to a foreign country, Moab to find work and food. Moab is across the Jordan river from their home village of Bethlehem.

After Naomi’s husband and sons die she decides to go back home to Bethlehem, one daughter-in-law, Ruth comes with her.

Let’s tell the story of Ruth a little differently: There is famine in the land, the family of 3 was starving, so they left Mexico, El Salvador, (you fill in the place) and they went to the United States where there were jobs. The boys marry local women, but then the dad and the boys all die, leaving all three women on their own. The Mom decides to go back to Mexico; do the daughters-in-law go back with her?

[…]

This foreign woman ultimately became part of the genealogy of Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer!

Carroll County officials following Hurricane Sandy's path, BGE urges preparation

Storm expected to impact area from Sunday to Tuesday

October 25, 2012 | 7:03 p.m. http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-bge-storm-prep-20121025,0,856648.story

Officials for Carroll County Emergency Operations said Thursday they are monitoring the projected path of Hurricane Sandy, and that weather models from the National Weather Service indicate the hurricane will strike land somewhere between New York and Maryland — impacting the area Sunday evening, and perhaps lasting through as Tuesday.

Officials said high winds and rain are expected and may cause some flooding and power outages.

During the storm, the county will post weather related information on various county websites and social media outlets, and will also communicate with the media.

Below is a list of links to obtain hurricane related information:

Neetzan Zimmerman at Gawker.com: Lindsay Lohan Has a Plan For Defeating Hurricane ‘Sally’: Think Happy Thoughts

http://gawker.com/5955725/lindsay-lohan-has-a-plan-for-defeating-hurricane-sally-think-happy-thoughts

Despite the National Weather Service issuing death threats and Mayor Bloomberg issuing threat-boners, Lindsay Lohan is chilling in bliss wondering what everyone is getting all excited about.

"WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i'm calling it Sally)...?" the Liz & Dick star tweeted yesterday evening to her 4.5 million followers. "Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace."

Threat neutralized.

But if you're still into the whole "protecting your loved ones by preparing adequately for a massive and unpredictable storm style that has already claimed dozens of lives," Lindsay has you covered: "I love Doritos."

LOL – please go to: http://gawker.com/5955725/lindsay-lohan-has-a-plan-for-defeating-hurricane-sally-think-happy-thoughts to read more especially the various comments and reactions to Neetzan Zimmerman’s article on Gawker.com… I’m just saying…

English as the official language proposed in Carroll County MD

“English Only” Up in Carroll County by Kevin E. Dayhoff October 24, 2012

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

In Carroll County, a hearing is scheduled in New Windsor on October 30 to gather public input on a proposed ordinance, similar to the one passed by Frederick County officials in February to designate English as the official language of the county.

In Frederick County, the proposal passed by a vote of 4-1 and, according to the Associated Press, “requires official actions of Frederick County to be taken only in English.”

Of course, nevermind that federal and state laws mandate that various government agencies offer assistance to non-English speakers.

If a predominant number of the members of the Frederick and Carroll County Boards of Commissioners were from the Democrat Party, Republicans would be screaming bloody-murder about such legislation being a waste of taxpayers’ time and money… Oh, well, nevermind, moving right along here…

Although the idea for such an ordinance in Carroll County has been discussed since last winter, or earlier, the proposal was introduced by the Board of Commissioners September 27.

The entire kerfuffle over “English only” piqued my curiosity since our area of the state has only spoken English for approximately 25 percent of our history… In our modern history, anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county.

My thoughts were immediately channeled into a column I wrote October 20 in The Baltimore Sun, “Strictly speaking, Carroll's predominant language was once German.”

“In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.”

Much of the opposition to forming a new county came from the predominant German population in Taneytown, Manchester and Hampstead. “Some of those folks were not really sure they wanted to form a new county – especially with a minority that spoke English and owned slaves, and well, perhaps were not as well educated or cultured as the German population.

“There was a great deal of concern that the English speakers would never learn German – and thus would exploit the generosity of the German majority. Paying extra taxes to support the English speakers was also of great concern…

Ultimately, the October 1833 referendum was defeated.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414
