Jonathan Taylor Violates His Peace Order Almost Immediately
In a quote made today, yet pulled down almost immediately, Jonathan Taylor stated the following.
"I can assure all my fans and concerned readers that the charges that have been brought against me are bogus. Thank you for the emails and calls."
BOGUS! Are you mentally retarded! Are you calling a District Court Judge a liar! Look, I can see getting spanked by a private citizen who beat the crap out of a professionally paid attorney upsetting but complete denial, you must have some pretty sick fans out there el lardo if any one of them believe his wisdom and judgment is "bogus." Is that what T.J. Maloney told you to say? I thought you stated under OATH that you would never discuss this again!
Oh well, Mrs. Ennis, you may use this QUOTE in your criminal case against el lardo to let him know how much he RESPECTS a Judge's verdict. Looks like this Judge pegged you for who and what you really are Jonathan. A liar and a mentally disabled man.
By the way, does this guy think he's Elvis Presley, "my fans." Looks like Mrs. Ennis will need to go back to the Judge and file additional criminal charges against this Dee, Dee, Deeee as the Judge clearly spelled out ANY discussion about this matter would violate the Peace Order. What an Idiot!
Dr. Wargotz Outlines Keys To Health Care Reform
Dr. Eric Wargotz, a physician and candidate for U.S. Senate, applauds leaders on Capitol Hill who decided to slow down on health care reform to get it right.
“As a practicing physician, I know we can’t afford Congress to rush and get it wrong. There must be time for an open, honest debate on the merits of the proposed reform. Placing strict deadlines on passage of this legislation was irresponsible and caused it to get seriously off track,” charged Wargotz.
“Real, meaningful health care reform should have three goals – lower costs; improve patient care; and, reduce waiting times for critical care,” said Wargotz. “The current legislation addresses none of these things and in many cases was going to make it much worse.”
Wargotz, outlining the keys to reform, continued. “To accomplish those three goals, reform must include:
Keeping government and insurance companies out of the medical decision making process;
Tackling frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits by capping non-economic damages thus
curtailing “defensive” medical practices and reducing waste, abuse & fraud.
Providing incentives in the health care system to attract more people to become health care professionals.”
Maintaining Medicare, and expand Medicaid to cover those legitimately unable to cover their own costs of care.
Reforming the health insurance system: no denials based on prior medical conditions & eliminate out-of-pocket expense after fully paid premium; improved provider reimbursement.
Reforming Pharmaceutical industry towards fair, uniform medication pricing.
Interstate Insurance portability
“Health care makes up 18% of our Gross Domestic Product. Any reform of the system deserves a health debate in the marketplace of ideas. The wrong reforms could have devastating results for our economy and more importantly, those who the reforms are supposed to help,” summed Wargotz.

Rabid Raccoon In Tamarac Villiage
This morning, in Tamarac Villiage, a possibly rabid raccoon attacked a dog. The Police were called and located the raccoon and the raccoon was taken away by Animal Control.
Given Tamarac's proximity to Parkside High School's athletic fields this could have been a very dangerous situation. This occurred this morning as school buses were rolling through the neighborhoods - so children were potentially at risk.
Parents and children should be aware of the potential of rabid animals even here in town. I think most people equate rabid animals with the country - I know I did until my dog was attacked on our deck this morning!

Obama School Children Indoctrination
"I Just called my kids' School about Obama's address to them on Tuesday
You may be familiar with the controversial televised message President Obama plans to make to our children in public school on Tuesday, where by children are instructed in the classroom to write letters to themselves about how they can "help Obama" and other forms of propaganda. Many parents don't want their children instructed on how they can "help Obama" with Socialized medicine or any of these other unconstitutional plans he has (like a Civilian Army). I am one of those parents and I fully planned to pull my children out of school on Tuesday if they were going to be subjected to that kind of crap.
So,I Just called my kids' School about Obama's address to them on Tuesday...and
(drum roll please)
They will not be showing it.
I also have heard North Salisbury, Fruitland Intermediate and Glen Ave. will not be showing it, as well. Concerned parents should call their children's schools and inquire if this is part of their lesson plan on Tuesday and let their school principle know that you do not want your child(ren) to participate."

Where Was The Daily Times Today
While the MSM was all over taking pictures of me back in the Zoo days and the Tilghman era, one has to wonder why the most vile Blogger ever to enter the World Wide Blogosphere received absolutely no attention today. Could it be Maloney's attorney, (photo above) losing was such an embarrassing blow they didn't want it publicized?
Some have claimed one of the writer's on Jonathan Taylor's Site known as "jcinsby" is Joe Carmean from the Daily Times but Joe denies this is him. While Joe told me he does not contribute to the Site, why no coverage, nothing, notta?
It seems pretty obvious that Tilghman and Webster had some serious pull with the DT's as they had no problem whatsoever throwing out my name every chance they got, yet they're leaving a serious matter such as today completely quiet.
Oh well, it goes with the territory I guess but let this serve as a warning to ALL of you that I believe this is more evidence that the Daily Times has a clear agenda and that's to support ONE side, FOB's. Yellow Journalism at its best.
In the mean time we're told Taylor shut down his Blog and has felt the first blow of perhaps many to come as citizens are gathering together to file additional charges against this man. I know of at least one other woman who has evidence of a Post in which Taylor put up her picture and demanded his readers to tell him who she is. Once he learned who she was, he has been attacking her ever since, stating that she's a friend of Joe Albero's, therefore he's going after her.
It looks like today's win will teach Taylor he is not untouchable and even more so he has exposed his contributors as well as he WILL have to bring their names to the table. I say this because it is very clear many of the Posts under his name were NOT authored by Jonathan Taylor, yet they used his name. He could be looking at Jail time if he refuses not to expose the original Authors who have defamed many.
On a final note, we also know of one other woman who is filing a civil lawsuit against Taylor for defamation. My guess is that we've seen the last of this man, if he has any brains at all. You can TRY to be Joe Albero all day long Jonathan but you better be prepared to face your victims both criminally and civilly.
Jonathan Taylor, "You've Been Blogged!"
Unemployment Rate Jumps To 9.7 Percent
Employers eliminated a total of 216,000 jobs, the lowest in a year
WASHINGTON - The unemployment rate jumped almost half a point to 9.7 percent in August, the highest since 1983, reflecting a poor job market that will make it hard for the economy to begin a sustained recovery.
While the jobless rate rose more than expected, the economy shed a net total of 216,000 jobs, less than July’s revised 276,000 and the fewest monthly losses in a year, according to Labor Department data released Friday. Economists expected the unemployment rate to rise to 9.5 percent from July’s 9.4 percent and job reductions to total 225,000.
By contrast, in a healthy economy, employers need to add a net total of around 125,000 jobs a month just to keep the unemployment rate stable.

CODE ORANGE AT WI HI
The BOE has issued a Code Orange at Wi Hi. There's been an armed robbery at the Donut Connection on Mt. Hermon Road. This means no one in and out.
Parents, this is Mr. Hughes, Wi Hi's Principal. Currently, Wi Hi is on Code Orange, which means "Safe In Place." A few minutes ago there was an armed robbery at Donut Connection on Mt. Hermon Road. In a Code Orange the building is locked down so no one can come or go. Your child is safe. As soon as I'm informed it's safe, we will go back to code green. Again, no one can come or go. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Blogger Jonathan Taylor Sentenced To 6 Months
While Jonathan Taylor was NOT supposed to be in Court today, he showed up in a wheel chair and required special attention when the Donna Ennis case was brought up. He was escorted into the court room in an extra wide, (seriously) wheel chair and the Judge said, why don't we try this case today, since both parties are here. Clearly the Judge could realize that Jonathan had been served a temporary Peace Order and considering today's hearing was supposed to only be about Donna, Jonathan proved to the Judge just by showing up for a hearing that he will follow her no matter what.
What I mean by that is, he was NOT ordered to be in Court today but he read on the documents served him that there was a hearing and as bold as he thinks he is, he went anyway. Now, to top it off, Jonathan was actually represented by Heather Conyer, an attorney from T.J. Maloney's Office. That leads to the following question, WHO PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES? Jonathan can't afford an attorney and we all know T.J. Maloney, (with all due respect) would charge his own Mother to represent her. I say that in humor T.J..
Nevertheless, the hearing went on where Donna Ennis provided quite a large folder of evidence, including a CD with audio PROVING she never stated Shanie Shields was an "Uncle Tom." Taylor responded, "well, that's my opinion." Mrs. Ennis also provided photos clearly proving Taylor sought her out by taking pictures of her vehicle, including tag numbers while she was visiting a local business airing a LIVE video on Salisbury News. Taylor claimed that he was at his friend JOHN ROBINSON'S business when they just happened to turn on the computer and saw the LIVE Broadcast on Salisbury News, (I thought Robinson swore he doesn't visit Salisbury News) and Taylor was driving in the direction of this business location on his way home. This was clearly a lie and the Judge realized it right away.
This is by no means "on his way home" and Taylor had to go well out of his way to get there. Besides that, the Broadcast was only 5 minutes long, (or so) and Taylor had to race from almost Fruitland all the way to Main Street to get to that business and take pictures.
Mrs. Ennis went on to bring into evidence a statement Taylor made on a Posts stating, "I have been tracking you for a while now." The Judge said, did you actually say that. Taylor responded, well, someone wrote in to me and said that it was her. Mrs. Ennis immediately interrupted and said, did you write this or not, it has your name on the Post. Taylor admitted he wrote it, once again proving Taylor is following Ennis.
The Judge convinced Taylor to consent to the Peace Order as a Criminal Hearing, (additional criminal charges were also filed against Taylor) will be heard on October 5th for Stalking and two counts of Harassment. The Judge explained to Mrs. Ennis that the criminal charges were far more serious than a Peace Order but a Peace Order would be in affect for 6 months. Taylor also verbally agreed under oath to NEVER write about Ennis again on his Blog. One can only hope that Taylor recognizes that means his Contributors as well, since it's "his Blog."
It should be noted above in the photos, Taylor had no problem WALKING out of the Court Room and the building, yet needed special attention being strolled in. I hate when the handicap people use things like this to win favor. We ALL have seen Taylor walking around at different events. Mind you, I am by no means stating the man isn't handicapped, he is. It was simply his display of attention that gets to me.
Taylor was also ordered to pay all Court Fees.
China's National Flag To Go Up In White House On Sept 20
The national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20, media reported Sunday.
Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President’s residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.
Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.
"Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics," said Chen.
More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.

MAYOR TO THROW FIRST PITCH AT SHOREBIRDS GAME SATURDAY
Mayor James Ireton, Jr., invites the public to join him on Saturday, September 5, 2009, at 7:05 p.m., as he throws the first pitch at the Delmarva Shorebirds game as part of Census Awareness Day at the ball park.
The Mayor and the Delmarva Shorebirds have partnered with the Census to urge Marylanders to stand up and be counted on April 1, 2010. Census representatives will be on hand with information and giveaways.
Mayor Ireton will also be helping the Salisbury Fire Department raise money for the “Fill the Boot” campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at Saturday’s Shorebirds game. The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and Muscular Dystrophy have had an unbreakable bond for over 55 years. Every year, fire fighters across the country hit the streets to "Fill the Boot" and raise money to benefit the MDA. This year the Salisbury Career Fire Fighters Association has brought the tradition to our city. Career and volunteer fire fighters were at various locations throughout the city on September 3rd and 4th filling their boots, and they will be ending their fundraising efforts on Saturday, September 5th at the Shorebirds Stadium.
The MDA is the IAFF's charity of choice due to the fact that all donations stay locally in our region to assist families with equipment, research, medical consultations, and summer camps.
"Come out and join us Saturday night at Shorebirds Stadium as we increase awareness about the 2010 Census and help Salisbury Firemen raise money for Muscular Dystrophy," said Mayor Ireton.
For more information about the 2010 Census, visit www.2010census.gov, or call Sylvia Ballinger Media Specialist for 2010 Census, at 202-525-1890.

DON RICKLES ROASTS THE DEMOCRATS
Only Don Rickles could get away with saying this stuff.
Hello, dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the accident?
Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a Saint - A Saint Bernard. Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Reid is so physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee Herman look like Mr. T. And Reid's so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual. Nevada is soooo screwed! If I were less polite, I'd say Reid makes Kevin Federline look successful.
Speaking of the Speaker... Nancy Pelosi, hubba, hubba! Hey baby, you must've been something before electricity. Seriously, the Speaker may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. She really is an idiot. Madame Speaker... want to make twelve bucks the hard way? Pelosi says she's not partisan, but her constituents call her Madame Pelossilini
Charlie Rangel... still alive and still robbing the taxpayers blind. What does that make, six decades of theft? Rangel's the only man with a rent-controlled mansion. He's the guy who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay taxes on $75 grand in rental income! So why isn't he the Treasury Secretary? Rangel runs more scams than a Nigerian Banker.
Barney Frank - he's a better actor than Fred Flintstone. Consider.. he and Dodd caused the whole financial meltdown and they're not only not serving time with Bubba and Rodney, they're still heading up the financial system! Let's all admit it... Barney Frank slobbers more than a sheepdog on novocain. How did this guy get elected? Oh, that's right... he's from Massachusetts. That's the state that elects Mr. Charisma, John Kerry -- man of the people!
You know, if Senator Dodd were any more crooked, you could open wine bottles with him. Here's a news flash, Dodd: when your local newspaper calls you a "lying weasel", it may be time to retire. Dodd's involved in more shady deals than the Clintons. Even Rangel looks up to him!
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, I really respect you... especially given your upbringing. All you've overcome... I heard your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. I don't know what makes you so dumb, but it really works for you. Personally, I don't think you're a fool, but what's my opinion compared to that of thousands of others? Gibbs does his best expositional work in the bathroom every morning.
As for President Obama, what can I say? They say President Obama's arrogant and aloof, but I don't agree. Now it's true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket. His mind is open to new ideas -- so open that ideas simply pass through it. Obama lies so much, I was actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack. Just don't ask about his middle name! But Obama was able to set a record... he actually lied more in 60 days than Bill Clinton. As far as his administration -- what with the tax cheat and lobbyists -- well, in the words of Patches O'Houlihan, "It's like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob out there."
With all due respect.
An Open Response To The BOE Teacher Responding To The BOE Belt Tightening Post From Thursday
Anonymous said...
Thanks wicomico county I apreciate the pay check you give me every month. A teacher PS I bust my back side to teach your spoiled rotton kids and get absolutely no gratitude for the difficult job I do.
5:50 PM
Please, 5:50 PM Anonymous Teacher, do us all a favor and find something else to do! With an attitude like yours, you've got to be a horrible teacher anyway. If you don't get any inherent appreciation for the job you do, then take a minute and review your benefits.
Look at your generous paycheck for only 10 months of (yes) long hours that starts at $42,000+ for a "teacher" with 0 - 4 months of experience.
Look at the extra pay you get for longevity and for advanced degrees. Look at the 90% of your health costs paid by the BOE and the 70% that is paid for your dependents.
Look at your holidays and summers and 10 days of annual sick leave that you can use or accrue toward pay at retirement.
Look at your 4 days of bereavement pay and 4 extra paid personal/emergency days that you get annually.
Look at your extra duty pay and your ability to request up to 2 years' leave of absence while retaining your seniority. Look at your continuing education benefits of $1950 annually.
Look at your generously subsidized retiree medical coverage which increased this year to 70% of the costs ad your increased pension from the State.
Look at your paid life insurance at 1.5 times your salary up to $100,000.
Look at the step increases that maybe you and that many of your colleagues got this year. Then, think about your union contract that says you only "have" to attend 5 PTA functions a year.
Review that you don't have to clean up any messes or accidents in a classroom, but instead get to call for a janitor.
Oh, and remember that your contract says you aren't any kind of a "nurse" either.
Consider, too, that your contract says you won't collect any money for school events other than those sanctioned by you, and that you will be limited to cafeteria duty and playground duty and the number of hours you teach each week. Don't forget, too, that your planning time during the school week is mandated and paid for you also.
Consider, too, that if there are lay-offs, your contract says seniority - not effectiveness - governs who stays and who goes. Can't find all this or dispute any of it?

Wicomico County Is In Trouble Again
This time around it's not the County Landfill, it's the Board of Education.
At least 4 Tech Employees with the WCBOE are being investigated. Two have been suspended and two have been terminated. The two terminated will have charges filed against them. The Wicomico County Sheriff's Department has found at least one dozen computers that may have been stolen from the County. Some were actually found in fields and ditches near the suspects homes.
It turns out, (they're not sure just how many computers may be involved yet) some of the computers were allegedly considered out dated, rebuilt by employees and then sold as rebuilt computers. However, some were new laptops and an ongoing investigation continues into the matter.
Dr. Fredericksen is quite upset over this matter, (we're told) and you may want to consider contacting the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department if you happen to be in possession of a computer sold to you by any one of the four people involved in this case.
We expect to see a Press Release in the very near future on this matter. When I was tipped off on it I was told that this was along the scale of the Landfill case. Once I learned this I made immediate contact with the County Executive Rick Pollitt and he replied, "My understanding is that, from a monetary standpoint, there is no comparison." I have confirmed he is absolutely correct.
This new charge comes on the heels of a School Bookkeeper at Wi Hi who was terminated for financial impropriety. Hopefully we'll see a Press release on this matter as well.
More to come.
United Nations Biosphere Reserve Land Grabs
What do the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, and Monticello have in common? The average American with a smattering of historical knowledge might say that those historic sites are all symbolic of America’s unique heritage of freedom.
Monticello, of course, was the home of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. That document (as well as the U.S. Constitution, later) was signed in Independence Hall. The Statue of Liberty memorializes the free nation under God that those founding documents created.
What about the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone Park, and the Grand Canyon? Well, these priceless natural resources are all managed by the U.S. National Parks Service. They are among the most frequently visited natural recreation areas in America, where millions of American families vacation every year.
Would it surprise you to learn that every one of these unique American landmarks is also controlled by the United Nations? It’s amazing but true. Every one of the natural and historic treasures listed above – plus more than a dozen more in America – has been designated an official World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which is headquartered in Paris, France.

Whining Will Get You Nowhere
The Tingle is Gone?
Many of Obama's problems are in the future.
by Victor Davis Hanson
NRO’s The Corner
Aside from the rendezvous he has with mega-deficits, rallying support for Afghanistan, healthcare, selling cap-and-trade in the Senate, etc., there is a more fundamental problem with Obama's modus operandi itself. I don't think he will any longer be able to "hope and change" his way out of tomorrow's controversies with mere rhetorical flourishes, since he has already exhausted his capital of credibility, and squandered his "this is our moment" trust.
Watch the faces of the press corps and the townhall throngs when he evades, and instead starts in with the cadences: The collective expression is to roll their eyes and sigh "not this again." And yet the alternative to hope and change is off-the-teleprompter pauses, and "inflate your tires/they're taking out our tonsils" folk mythology.
When Obama said he would be fiscally prudent, we got near $2 trillion deficits. When he said the debt would grow to $7 trillion over his tenure, you should nearly double that estimate. When he said Bush shredded the Constitution, he adopted most of the Bush plan from rendition to tribunals. When he said that he wished to move on, we got investigations of the CIA and the previous administration. When he said we'd have all combat brigades out by March 2008, we knew we could not. When he said anything about healthcare — it would save money, would not alter private plans, would not go to illegal aliens, etc — we already assumed all that was mendacious. When he says anything, we know now that it is either not true or will not be true or at best will only be partially true.
And in the first seven months, there was a crass edge as well, whether measured by the jokes like ridiculing the Special Olympics or demagoguing those who go to Las Vegas or the Superbowl, or stereotyping the police who act "stupidly" and "profile."
Apparently, Obama grasped (and he hints at this in his memoirs) that his rhetorical powers, and singular heritage, allowed him to achieve things not commensurate with the facts of the matter, or prerequisite knowledge and prior experience. But on a global stage, it is not so easy to wing it with just "forget the details and what I said in the past — now just trust me, since I'm young, charismatic, and different."
Proof of all this is not just the waning polls and the grassroots anger of hoi polloi, but a strange and sudden end to last fall's elite-left puff pieces that used to run the gamut from women dreaming of seducing Barack, desire to change the law to allow him to begin governing almost immediately in November, worry over a Bush coup to abort the dreamy Obama presidency, and all sorts of personal testaments about how suddenly the world will be a utopia. That entire genre of liberal therapeutic Obama musings in print and on the screen has quite incredibly simply vanished.

Green Jobs And 9/11 Truthers: A Match Made In The Obama White House
This April President Barack Obama said he wanted to rebuild the entire United States economy based on a foundation of “five pillars that will grow our economy and make this new century another American century.” One of those pillars was government “investments” in renewable energy and technology that will create “green jobs” for millions of Americans. To oversee the planning for all these green jobs, President Obama tapped Van Jones, author of the 2008 New York Times best-seller The Green Collar Economy, to be his Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
Of course green jobs are complete fiction. For starters, nobody, including the Obama administration, even has a definition for what a green job is. Furthermore, research both here in the U.S., and abroad, has repeatedly demonstrated that subsidizing high cost renewable energies destroys more jobs than it creates.
But that is what makes Jones such a perfect fit to be Obama’s green jobs czar. It turns out that Jones is no stranger to crazy. The Washington Times Amanda Carpenter reports that along with comedienne Janeane Garofalo, ex-Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, and Howard Zinn, Jones has signed 911Truth.org’s 9/11 Truth Statement which calls for an investigation by then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer into whether the Bush administration may have had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.

Four Car Crash Claims The Life Of An Ocean View Man
Location: US 113 north of SR 16, 1 mile north of Ellendale
Date of Occurrence: Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 at 12:30 p.m.
Delaware State Police are investigating a four car crash that killed a 75 year-old man from Ocean View.
The crash occurred when Sergey Danilenko, 36, of Georgetown, was driving a 2002 Toyota Highlander, north of US 113. Danilenko was traveling behind a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier operated by Heather Garritson, 22, of Lincoln. Both vehicles were in the left lane. Danilenko was attempting to pass the Cavalier on the right. As Danilenko moved into the right lane and accelerated, he approached a box truck which was also in the right lane. Danilenko cut back into the left lane in front of Garritson’s car and struck the front of it with the rear of his Toyota Highlander. Both vehicle began to go out of control and crossed into the southbound lane where they both collided with a 2007 Lincoln MKZ which was traveling in the left southbound lane. The Lincoln was operated by a 75 year-old man from Ocean View. After the impact by both vehicle, the Lincoln was pushed into the right lane where it was struck a third time by a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier traveling in the southbound right hand lane of US 113. The 2003 Cavalier was operated by Rhonda Brown, 47, of Ellendale.
As a result of the crash the 75 year-old operator of the Lincoln was pronounced dead at the scene. Danilenko was flown to Christiana Hospital with internal injuries. He is listed in stable condition. Garritson was transported to Milford Memorial Hospital where she was treated with minor injuries. In addition to Rhonda Brown, Patricia Brown, 70, and Gregory Pianka, 28, were also taken to Milford Memorial Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries. A 3 year-old girl, who was also in the Cavalier operated by Brown, was flown to A.I. DuPont Hospital Children in Rockland, DE, where she was treated for a skull fracture. Her condition is unknown at this time.
Due to the damage of the Highlander, it is unknown if Danilenko was wearing his seatbelt and it is unknown if alcohol is involved in the crash. All other occupants and passengers were wearing their seatbelts and the 3 year-old was in a child seat.
US 113 was closed for approximately 2 and ½ hours while the crash scene was cleared.
The identity of the deceased is being withheld at this time pending notification of next of kin.
The investigation is still ongoing at this time by the troopers assigned to Fatal Crash Reconstruction Unit for Sussex County.
Maryland Gov Says Taking Toxic Vaccination Is “Patriotic Duty”
Government demands on the people never end. Once you give in to government, you may as well lay down and let them walk all over you. In fact, you may as well let them kill you.Democrat Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley wants to kill or make seriously ill the subjects of his state, although he may not realize it. On Wednesday, according to the Washington Post, O’Malley said it was residents’ “patriotic duty” to take the toxic and deadly fly shot. Maryland residents are to serve as guinea pigs. O’Malley says taking a worthless seasonal flu shot makes it easier for health officials to determine if outbreaks are related to H1N1.
If residents do not get vaccinated against seasonal strains and later get sickened by them as a result, there will be little way to determine if those falling ill this fall and winter have been infected by less worrisome strains, or by the more contagious H1N1 virus, O’Malley said.
In other words, for the efficacy of the state and the sake of bureaucrats, you will line up and get injected with triton X-100 (a detergent), polysorbate 80 (a carcinogen), formaldehyde, dangerous microorganisms, gelatin (causes allergic reactions and anaphylaxis) and the ever-present neurotoxin thimerosal, that is to say mercury. There is plenty of evidence that flu shots are linked to brain injury, autoimmune disease, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

What To Carry To Bed With You!
What to take to bed with you - not a joke . Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone

Zac Brown Band-On Sale Today At The Wicomico Youth & Civic Center
Zac Brown Band Brings ‘A Little Bit of Chicken Fried’ to the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center
(Salisbury, MD) The Breaking Southern Ground Tour featuring the Zac Brown Band has just confirmed a performance at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center on Thursday, October 15. Special guests Nic Cowan, Levi Lowery and Sonia Leigh will join the Zac Brown Band. Tickets to the 7:00pm show go on sale this Friday, September 4 at 10:00am.
Playing upwards of 200 dates a year, more than 3,000 shows in their career and selling more than 30,000 CDs independently, the Zac Brown Band has only begun its ascent. The band's aggressive touring has helped it develop a fanatical grassroots following by winning over believers one person at a time. Driven by awe-inspiring musicianship, skillful songwriting and a dynamic live show that inspires word-of-mouth buzz, the Zac Brown Band is already embraced by audiences who sing along with every word.
The Foundation was released on November 18th, 2008 on Atlantic Records and debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and #3 on the Top Country Albums Chart. The first single “Chicken Fried” peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart and maintained that position for two weeks and also debuted as the second most downloaded country single on iTunes.
Zac Brown gigged as a solo artist for several years with jaw-dropping flat-picking skills and an extensive catalog of originals, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of popular songs. He formed the current incarnation of the Zac Brown Band four years ago. Members of the band include bassist John Hopkins, fiddler Jimmy De Martini and more recent additions of guitarist/organist Coy Bowles and drummer Chris Fryar. In January of 2009 multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Clay Cook joined the band; perhaps best known for his co-writes with Grammy-winner John Mayer, Cook rounds out the ZBB sound on guitar, vocals, organ, mandolin and pedal steel.
Brown’s love for musical diversity is apparent from the first single, “Chicken Fried,” an utterly authentic take on his Georgia-bred existence during which audiences routinely are pressed into service to sing the choruses; “Toes,” which calls Jimmy Buffett to mind in its ode to beach life; and “Free,” which has turned into an audience anthem during recent tour stops.
Tickets are $28.50 plus fees for reserved seats. Tickets can be purchased online at www.WicomicoCivicCenter.org, by phone at 410-548-4911 or in person at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Box Office. The Box Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and is located at 500 Glen Avenue in Salisbury, MD.
