Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
Smokey and the Bandit Synopsis
Bandit and Cledus are two truck-driving southerners who accept a dare from big-shots Big and Little Enos to pick up a truckload of beer from Texas and return it to them within a specified amount of time. Picking it up is simple enough, but as they are leaving Texas, Bandit unwittingly picks up Carrie, a hitchhiking bride-to-be who just left her groom, Junior, at the altar. Junior, however, is the son of Sheriff Buford T. Justice. And when Buford and Junior discover what has happened, they go on a "high-speed pursuit" across the Southeast to catch the bandit.

More than 1,000 bridges in South Carolina are structurally deficient, according to an analysis of federal data by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. Nonetheless, Gov. Nikki Haley has vowed to veto any attempt to raise the state's gas tax to fund transportation projects.

When life give you "cheeze" make "parmason"
When my Grandmother made spaghetti, there was a big chunk of real Parmesan cheese on the table, and a grater for you to use. None of this bottled stuff.
She also made those fried meatballs that nobody was supposed to eat until dinner, but were always gone by dinnertime.
What a grate idea!
I haven't had much time n the last couple of days….
But I've been wanting to post that cheese carving is a real hobby!
There are contests, and county fair exhibits….
and plenty of sculptures of cartoon characters…
… mostly too large to call "figurines."
And 200 years or so ago, sailors carved and polished snuffboxes and knife handles that looked rather like ivory
from hardened cheese from the ships stores….
but I can't find any pictures.
And ironically Agnes, you may have stumbled into the right way to sell these — 240 lb of grated Parmesan (generic) sells for about $800 (about $950 for brand-name), so sell these for a total of $720 revenue!
Ann Reed sings about butter heads and cheese heads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HFdQ9O8drA
Lots of pill bottles. And people will no doubt be surprised by the mixture of cheese and sanding grit.
The USDA guidelines allow for a certain percentage of sanding grit in parmesan.
Plan C. Or D. Like it. works for me!

Tax time comes-just like birthdays and Christmas-at the same time every single year. Don't find yourself in the position my mother-in-law does, filing for an extension and praying the accountant won't tell her to take a hike. The time to start preparing for your April 15 deadline is April 16-of the previous year.
I'm not picking on my mother-in-law. She's a smart woman. Her return each year shows us how smart. She, however, is typical of many disorganized folks. Procrastination and poor organizational skills have cost her. This year they cost her way more than necessary.
My mother-in-law's filing system involves a collection of plastic grocery bags. One bag houses receipts, one is filled with statements from investments and securities, and one has cancelled checks from what will potentially become itemized deductions. Of course you can imagine what becomes of the grocery bag filing theory. Pretty soon the receipts are inadvertently filed with the investment statements. Then the cancelled checks wind up floating amidst the receipts. Shortly thereafter the whole mess slips underneath the desk and intermingles with one another. Add to this growing heap a few weeks where Ma-in-law forgets to bother filing anything at all, and the result is a mountainous pile of paper-haphazardly filed in plastic. Would you like paper or plastic? Unfortunately the IRS man won't appreciate her sense of humor come the 15th of April 2004.
If your filing system in any way resembles my mother-in-law's, take heed. It is time to organize your files and live under the old principle, "A place for everything and everything in its place."
Taming the volume of incoming paper into one's home is vital to succeeding in creating a useful filing system. Every day we're inundated with junk mail, notices from school or organizations, receipts, lists, and reading material. Start taming the paper chase at the front door. Keep a wastebasket close by when you open your daily mail. As you determine whether or not each piece is viable or useless, file it accordingly. You'll find out that you're probably throwing away more than half of what comes into the house in the first place.
Metal file cabinets are inexpensive-usually no more than $30 at your local discount department store, and they're still the most sensible way to help tame paper and organize everything needed for tax preparation. File cabinets are often available at second hand stores at a fraction of the department store price. If that still breaks the budget, collect a couple of plastic milk crates. These will become the basis for your new filing system. Invest in a few hanging file folders and separate manila file organizers. Label each hanging file accordingly-for example receipts, medical bills, statements from investments, interest earnings, etc. Create a file folder within each file for the specific institution from which you receive your receipt or statement. Each and every time something pertaining to that filing system arrives in your mail, place it immediately into its appropriate file. Sound simple? It is. But procrastination costs so many taxpayers to accumulate piles of stray paper throughout their home and office, thus making it virtually impossible to begin organizing prior to the income tax filing deadline. An hour's set up and a few minutes each day equal time well spent when it comes to income tax preparation.
Extensions typically cost a fee. If extensions are filed only because of disorganization, what a ridiculous waste of money-yours! Why give any more to the government than necessary? And on top of the exorbitant percentage of your income they require, you'll be paying even more if you enlist the services of an accountant to tally up your figures.
I'm the first to admit, I do use an accountant. My figuring simply doesn't figure most of the time. But I make sure to keep everything in good order, so that my accountant can make heads or tails out of it by simply asking me a few questions and reviewing my files. My poor mother-in-law wasn't so lucky. Her files (remember those plastic grocery bags) were so disheveled it required the accountant and his assistant several extra hours of work to put things in order before they could even begin to figure her taxes. Between her extension and accountant fees, she paid more than $2000 to calculate her yearly income tax. Her accountant admitted that organization would have cost her several hundred dollars less, and cost him a whole lot less aggravation. Come April 15-and even later with extensions-accountants are ready to wrap up the tax game, take their earnings and head off somewhere lush and tropical to sip cocktails and play golf.
Tax time isn't my idea (nor my mother-in-law's) of the best time of year, but it comes around every April 15, like it or not. Like the dreaded physical exam or drivers license testing, it's a part of life that we, as responsible people, can't escape. Make it easier on yourself. Even if you didn't begin last April on the 16th, it's not too late to organize your filing system now. Remember, even though you haven't faithfully filed throughout the year, even by beginning now you'll be in much better shape than my mother-in-law was-hauling her overstuffed plastic grocery bags to the bewildered accountant-weeks after the April 15th deadline. And you'll stand a much better chance of getting an appointment with him or her for the next income tax filing year!

Osim Drops by Most in 3 Months on Convertibles: Singapore Mover
Osim International Ltd., Asia's largest maker of massage chairs, dropped by the most in almost three months after a sale of S$170 million ($136 million) convertible bonds sparked concern the company is preparing for a big acquisition.
Osim dropped 2.8 percent, the biggest decline since June 5, to S$2.74, after falling as much as 6.4 percent earlier. Given that the company already has cash on hand of about S$300 million, the fundraising exercise could be in preparation for a "big acquisition," Chirag Saglani, an analyst at UBS AG in Singapore, wrote in a note to clients.
"Given the already strong cash position, we believe this issuance means that there could be a potential acquisition around the corner," Saglani said. "If not, capital efficiency would be a concern."
Proceeds from the sale of zero-coupon convertible bonds will be used to fund potential acquisitions, expansion plans and general working capital requirements, Osim said in a statement to the Singapore bourse today. The notes can be converted into equity at S$3.525 per share, it said.
"We believe the terms are very favorable and it is a relatively cheap source of funding for the company," James Koh, an analyst at DMG & Partners Securities Pte. in Singapore, wrote in a note to clients. "The issuance is expected to buff up Osim's war chest even further and put it in a comfortable position to capitalize on merger and acquisition opportunities."
The company is in talks to expand its international franchise with stores in Turkey and Russia, Osim's Chief Executive Officer Ron Sim said in an interview this month. The move will complement fast-growing economies including China, which Sim said is it's top market with almost half of its 578 stores worldwide.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
My Boss's 8310 Curve was working fine just a week ago. Now her attachments wont load up because "Service Book information cannot be found".
The request for the files also timed out. All I have read about this problem seems to be centered around BES. To my knowledge.. we dont use BES (Unless it is standard with the unlimited BB data plan). At any rate.. one fix suggested to delete all the service books so that they will reload on a phone reboot. Did that but problem persists.
One guy seems to have found a way to do it, but the post mentioned that he was pushing service books out from BES.
What if you don't use BES? Or do I? How do I access it?
Executives should not ever be locked out from viewing attachments.
If the device isn't setup for BES I believe you can log into the BIS website of the carrier and there may be an option to resend service books to the device. Or you can contact the carrier and have them do that over the phone.
On the other hand if you all do have a BES then someone from the internal blackberry support desk will have access to the server to push any missing service books onto the device.

I don't have BIS yet. Downloading it now, per a hint from previous post. I have to register this sucker. Never worked with BB before, Always had Moto's and not even smartphones. My first was the Blackjack, No problems there.
Update - Tried to submit PIN for password to the BIS account. No go. Tried registering, tells me that an account with my IMEI/PIN already exists. Then I finally get the message on the Curve from BB saying that no account exists for my PIN. Calling now...
The fix was a total wipe, and re-register, then logging into BIS and verifying the email address(s) manually.
The cause of my problem, and I don't know if everyones problem was similar, was that when a phone loses its data or gets auto-wiped due to password entry errors, we hook it back up to the PC and re-sync everything. That's what I did, because I did not have a backup file. My boss only needs to sync with her outlook for all the latest stuff, so I did that.
Somehow -and I noticed this- the icon for the email disappeared. Instead, all emails were routed to the Messages folder. It is my belief, and that of the AT&T Tech, that attachments cannot be opened in THAT folder because of the format and the service books not allowing that action within that folder. So, properly registered email and updates to activate the email icon (using pop from Yahoo) which will allow attachment retrieval/viewing. At least in my case.
Glad you got it figured out!
Could you please take a minute and resolve the post! Others can find resolved issues faster.

Anthony Scaramucci on turning failure into success
NEW YORK When hedge-fund king Anthony Scaramucci left Lehman Brothers in 2005 to start SkyBridge Capital from scratch, a few people thought he was nuts, including his own daughter.
WASHINGTON Grover Norquist, the influential anti-tax activist, on Wednesday threw his support behind the latest bid by Senate tax writers to overhaul the U.S. tax code. But he added caveats that highlight the challenges lawmakers face in their quest.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Democrat, and the panel's top Republican, Senator Orrin Hatch, proposed last month to scrap all tax breaks and start fresh in an effort to simplify the code and lower tax rates.
Their pitch to senators: if you want to put a tax break back into the code, make a convincing case for it before July 26.
After that, Senate tax writers would spend coming months drafting a bill for possible introduction after Congress returns from its August recess.
"I write today to support the 'blank slate' approach to tax reform," Norquist said in a letter to Hatch.
The Baucus-Hatch effort faces tough odds, in large part because Democrats and Republicans disagree on whether an overhaul should raise new tax revenue.
Some party leaders and other lawmakers are also skeptical about identifying politically popular tax breaks to nix for legislation that is uncertain to move in the near term.
Baucus and most Democrats say the government needs new revenue. They say not all the money gained by scrapping tax breaks should go to lowering tax rates. Most Republicans, including Norquist, take the opposite view.
"A revenue-neutral reform target is an absolutely essential precondition to any tax reform," Norquist wrote. "Tax reform should not be a stalking horse for a net tax increase."
Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, listed several other steps senators should take including eliminating taxes on capital gains and dividends, a move not backed by most Democrats.

NEW YORK When hedge-fund king Anthony Scaramucci left Lehman Brothers in 2005 to start SkyBridge Capital from scratch, a few people thought he was nuts, including his own daughter.
CHICAGO The future of Social Security is on the ballot this year - not that you could tell by the U.S. presidential debates, or by any other aspect of this rancorous, sensational election.
NEW YORK U.S.-based stock mutual funds reported the largest outflows in five years, Investment Company Institute data showed on Wednesday, adding to a poor year of sales for the funds.

At Olympus, the More Things Change…
TOKYO—When Olympus Corp. OCPNY -0.99 % admitted last year that it had concealed about $1.5 billion in investment losses, how the camera maker would respond became a litmus test for Japanese corporate governance. Now the results are in, and the status quo is winning.
At a shareholder meeting Friday, a majority of Olympus stockholders are likely to back a slate of management-proposed directors—despite opposition from proxy advisers and some prominent foreign investors.
Japanese institutional investors constituting roughly 15% of Olympus's voting shares said they are planning to vote with management. Lenders and corporations that do business with Olympus also are expected to stick closely with management recommendations. Together, those votes are likely to total at least the 50% needed to approve the slate, based on discussions with several investors.
Nine foreign investors—including Harris Associates LP, Southeastern Asset Management Inc., and Indus Capital Partners LLC—in March issued a letter expressing concerns about the proposed slate. Yet even if all of those foreign investors—which held as much as 30% of Olympus when the letter was issued—voted against management, they wouldn't have enough votes to block the board's nominees.
Critics say the outcome reflects a familiar Japanese formula of accommodating banks, compliant shareholders and toothless regulators.
"It just suggests business as usual in Japan despite everything," says former Chief Executive Michael Woodford, whose dismissal in October triggered the investigation into the scandal. Mr. Woodford, who had exposed Olympus's accounting scandal, in January abandoned his plan for a proxy fight, citing a lack of support from Japanese investors.
Six months after the scandal started to dominate headlines in Japan, the company has emerged relatively unscathed. The company's share price has dropped in half since Mr. Woodford's departure. But Olympus hasn't been forced to sell any businesses, lay off staff or alter its strategy drastically. The company still has about three-quarters of the global market for endoscopes, cameras that are used for internal medical examinations.
Japan Real Time
The company's resilience has been remarkable, considering the size of the scandal—the $1.5 billion in losses were hidden by top executives for more than a decade—and the outcry it caused. At one point Olympus's stock was down more than 80% from when the scandal broke, the Tokyo Stock Exchange considered delisting the company, the accounting hole cut shareholder equity by three-fourths and top executives resigned amid investigations by Japanese police and international authorities. Critics, among them Mr. Woodford and several foreign investors, called for the immediate replacement of management and directors so the company could rebuild its reputation.
Yet domestic institutional investors proved reluctant to stir the pot. Shortly after the scandal emerged in October, Olympus's top shareholder at the time, Nippon Life Insurance Co., pressed the company for more transparency. But the insurer stopped short of criticizing Olympus management or pushing for additional changes. Other domestic investors, who constitute about three-fourths of Olympus's shareholders, also refrained from causing a fuss.
Support for Olympus's current management also has been strong from banks. The lenders agreed to assist Olympus and keep credit lines open, alleviating pressure on its finances.
And while Olympus had said it was considering a white-knight capital injection, there is growing sentiment internally that the company can restore its capital base without outside help, a person familiar with the company's thinking said. An Olympus spokesman says the company it is waiting to examine several proposals for a capital tie-up until new management is in place.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange in January decided to keep Olympus shares listed, while imposing a largely symbolic ¥10 million ($124,000) fine. The exchange said Olympus's accounting irregularities weren't large enough to "distort" investor judgment and warrant expulsion. The timing of the decision raised some eyebrows among corporate-governance experts, since it came before law-enforcement officials wrapped up their investigation into the company. Prosecutors in March accused Olympus and seven individuals, including three former executives, of fabricating financial reports.
Olympus has taken some steps to change its governance. The company sued a majority of its directors, including President Shuichi Takayama, for failing to prevent the scandal. And all its directors will step down on Friday, yielding to a new 11-person slate. Unlike past Olympus boards, which were stacked with insiders, a majority of management's new slate is outsiders, a rarity for Japanese boards. Olympus has said it is leaving all strategic decisions, including capital alliances or asset sales, to the new board.
Proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass, Lewis & Co. this month raised objections to nominees, Hiroyuki Sasa and Yasuyuki Kimoto, who are candidates for president and chairman, respectively.
Mr. Sasa, who joined Olympus in 1982, is the company's medical marketing chief. ISS recommends voting against Mr. Sasa because he is "not a business manager with a proven track record of turning around companies." Olympus responds that ISS "abstractly calls into question his management capabilities, with no concrete basis for those doubts."
Mr. Kimoto, is a former senior managing director at Olympus's main lender, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. Both advisory firms express concern that Mr. Kimoto will put lenders' interests ahead of shareholders' needs, especially when it comes to whether Olympus will raise capital, which could dilute current shareholder's stakes. Olympus says it is "extremely unlikely" that Mr. Kimoto, as an insider candidate, would give priority to the bank's interests because such behavior would call into question his fiduciary responsibility as a company director.
"There's some distance between the Japanese and foreign investors,'' says Toshiaki Oguchi, a representative director at the Japanese unit of Governance for Owners LLP. The U.K.-based investment group, which is partially owned by pension funds, represents some Olympus shareholders.
"From the Japanese-investor perspective, some may wonder why they need to oppose a board with a majority of outside directors, while others may feel that it's necessary to have the banks' support with the company's capital eroded," he says. "But from the foreign-investor view, Olympus is a global company and a chairman-nominee with previous affiliation to the company's lender is at odds with the global standard for governance."
Olympus's strong cash flow and dominance in endoscopes helped it avoid the cash crunch that pushed Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc., and other examples of corporate accounting fraud into bankruptcy. Scandal survivor HealthSouth Corp. HLS -1.05 % immediately sold land and corporate jets to raise cash in 2003, when its accounting improprieties were discovered. Several years later, HealthSouth, which owns and operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, divested from its surgery-center, outpatient and diagnostic operations.

Glad to see Ryan praise Romney on their election effort, but the dig on the we care about "all Americans" (47% comment by Mitt) was not un-noticed. Romney was right about the 47% and Obama gifts. Really don't care for the old Bush 'compassionate conservative' talk and the idea of if we just talk softer we're going to win more votes. Not sure Ryan said anything new in this speech either. So far I do not like the direction the Republican Party has taken post election. Disappointing.

White Ink
Interviews on Sex, Text, and Politics
Columbia University Press
These interviews with Hélène Cixous offer invaluable insight into her philosophy and criticism. Culled from newspapers, journals, and books, White Ink collects the best of these conversations, which address the major concerns of Cixous's critical work and features two dialogues with twentieth-century intellectuals Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida.
The interviews in White Ink span more than three decades and include a new conversation with Susan Sellers, the book's editor and a leading Cixous scholar and translator. Cixous discusses her work and writing process. She shares her views on literature, feminism, theater, autobiography, philosophy, politics, aesthetics, religion, ethics, and human relations, and she reflects on her roles as poet, playwright, professor, woman, Jew, and, her most famous, "French feminist theorist." Sellers organizes White Ink in such a way that readers can grasp the development of Cixous's commentary on a series of vital questions. Taken together, the revealing performances in White Ink provide an excellent introduction this thinker's brave and vital workeach one an event in language and thought that epitomizes Cixous's intellectual and poetic force.
Everything that concerns Hélène Cixous is of interest. To my knowledge, there exists no other volume quite like this one. These interviews reveal the different aspects of Cixous's work with its underlying insistence on writing itself.Verena Conley, Harvard University

Belfast, North Ireland - February 2008 - APT has raised £8,000 (nearly $11,670) for charity over the past 12 months. The money raised will be used for Oxfam's livelihood programs in Uganda and Sudan and will go toward helping people support themselves and build their own way out of poverty.
APT presented the money to Oxfam (a confederation of 13 organizations working together with more than 3,000 partners in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice) Fundraising Executive Dearbhla McGrath last week at its Belfast offices. Dearbhla was delighted with the donation and said, "Oxfam will use £4,000 (about $5,835) of APT's £8,000 donation to continue to support those caught up in the crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Now entering its fifth year, the Darfur crisis continues to be one of the world's largest concentrations of human suffering. A massive 2.5 million people - more than one in three Darfurians - have been forced from their homes by the violence."
"Over 2 million of them are now sheltering in camps for Internally Displaced People inside Darfur and the money APT has raised will help Oxfam continue to support those living there. Our programmes in the camps are designed not only to keep people healthy and reduce disease, but also to help people maintain their basic human dignity."
"The other £4000 will be used for Oxfam's Support a Woman in Business in Uganda. This project involves giving women's groups a loan to set up their own business, giving them a means to support themselves and build their way out of poverty. Projects like these have been a solution and a relief from many challenges suffered by women, girls and the whole community."

Editorial: Small business slammed
Tax policy – or the lack thereof – has consequences. Americans are seeing that uncertainty about the federal "fiscal cliff" is sparking investors to make moves to profit now, instead of getting hit with potentially much higher taxes in 2013.
"Tax-related selling may be behind the weaker trend in the shares of market leader Apple," whose stock is down 20 percent in this quarter, Reuters reported. "Of this year's top 20 performers in the S&P 1500 index, which includes large, small and mid-cap stocks, all but four have lost ground in the last five trading sessions."
"It's very simple," Dan Mitchell told us; he's a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. "The capital gains tax could go from 15 percent to 23.8 percent. The dividends tax could go from 15 percent to 43.8 percent. And that's not to mention ordinary income tax rates," which could go from 35 percent to 39.6 percent for the top rate. "Plus state tax rates," which for California's top income tax rate will jump from 10.3 percent to 13.3 percent. "If you have any discretion with your money, you will try to protect it."
Mr. Mitchell also pointed to how Costco Wholesale Corp. and the Washington Post Company are issuing dividends this year to avoid higher taxes next year. Ironically, both companies were big supporters of the re-election of President Barack Obama, who is pushing for the higher federal tax rates.
Mr. Mitchell added that what we're really seeing is a "timing issue." By itself, that doesn't mean much. Companies and investors shift money around all the time. But the deeper meaning is that "taxes matter. The real problem is what these tax increases mean for long-term growth and competitiveness."
Mr. Obama and other tax-increase advocates – such as California Gov. Jerry Brown – insist tax hikes are needed so the rich "pay their fair share." But Mr. Mitchell said that's not what really happens. The truly wealthy, he said, have money in stocks and bonds, which gives them "flexibility," making it easier to shift funds to avoid taxes.
Instead, he said, the tax increases "are a big problem for the small business and the entrepreneur. They don't have the liquidity of the really rich. If you own a muffler shop, or a couple of Applebee's or an accounting firm, your income is your cash flow. Your liquidity is used to hire workers. Obama is pushing class warfare, but that really hits small business. The really rich shrug this off like a horse swatting a fly."
Many small businesses file taxes as S corporations, which means they're taxed at individual rates. So the higher tax rates aimed at the "rich" also will hit companies that are hoping to use profits for expansion and jobs creation.
According to a 2010 report by the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, from 60 to 80 percent of new jobs are created by small businesses. The national unemployment rate has dropped gradually throughout 2012, to 7.7 percent in November from 8.3 percent in January. But that trend could change if small businesses are slammed by higher taxes in 2013.
As the country is about to barrel over the "fiscal cliff" in a hot-rod Lincoln, those seeking tax increases should realize that small business is locked in the trunk.

Discussion in 'General Gun Discussions' started by nathan, Jan 28, 2013.
This is not letting up . He is determined to get his gun ban.
I'm still waiting for the police to support a move away from standard capacity mags. If they truly have no purpose beyond mass shooting then the govt agents have no use for them.....
How about linking to something that describes the meetings rather than just making vague pronouncements?
I watched a cut-in on the news. Couldn't find an updated link but he basically continued his idea that the 2a is about hunting and sports and not SD. I agree he's hell bent on polarizing the country until he gets another AWB at any cost.
Several articles online....
Best I can tell, instead of meeting with law enforcement from around the country about the various issues involved in gun control, its more of an attempt for POTUS to say, "Hey, it happened in your town, so support my new laws that I (POTUS) want." Nothing really new.
Would have been nice for POTUS to meet with many of the Police Chiefs and Sheriffs who are against mag restrictions and a new AWB to get a balanced view though.
He's possibly the most inept and impotent president we've ever had. He's also maybe the laziest.
His antigun agenda is about all he does. He's got to fool his constituents (who are very, very easily fooled) into thinking he's actually doing something with his time. (Besides spending millions on vacations, golfing, skeet shooting, etc.)
I wouldn't say he hasn't done anything. His health care plan has really irked people.
You mean the 127+ who have said they wouldn't prosecute federal gun laws? Or the ones that say they will prosecute those who try to enforce federal gun laws?
It would definitely come at a cost to the democrat party.
Honestly Skribs, I would love for POTUS to meet with many from either or both sides...Any of the LE agency heads who are against the new restrictions, I feel, would give POTUS a dose of reality, of how these possible new laws, will do nothing, except erode the rights of those law abiding persons, and the criminals will still get their firearms to use in crimes no matter what law is passed. Afterall, look at how successful prohibition was? Does Obama think things have change much since then?
Here's a clip:
Listen to the comment of the CNN reporter at the end... on what was discussed Re: handguns...
And just as we have lists of which Sheriffs oppose unconstitutional gun bans, we need a list of who those Sheriffs and Police chiefs are who attended that meeting so we know who is assisting the dissolution of our Rights. Vote them out, demand their resignation when possible.
I was slightly surprised to see Pima County AZ was not on the list. It was only a mass shooting involving a US Representative. Maybe because it's not about solving the issue, but just getting those yes men in the same room. Pima County Sheriff is pretty against the infringement of citizens rights.
I have to wonder just what kind of "bribes" or financial "threats" he is making to these police chiefs and Sheriffs in order to get them to go along with this illegal gun ban. That's right, I said it.
About 2/3 through the video Obama calls for more cops (ie. more government).
It used to be that a law enforcement were considered civilians like the rest of us, but now they're not classified as that as per the new definition of civilian.
Remember, big brother is growing. It's up to us to stand for our freedoms now while we still have them (what's left of them).
Quit being STUPID people!
Anyone that Obama meets with is going to be another elitist anti-2a jerk just like himself. It's all a crock of horse crap. The way it works is simple.
He meets with a group of anti-gun police chiefs from places like D.C., L.A., Chicago, NYC, etc that all support his agenda.
Then the liberal media can hype how "Reps from the LE community from across the nation" are in favor of another AWB.
The populus of uninformed sheeple do as they are instructed to do by the media and authorities.
Every few years things get more restrictive and eventually outlawed except for those in power or those that serve THEM.
I have met many a law enforcement agent that feels no ordinary citizen should have the rights they enjoy, and I'm not just talking about free meals, wanton speeding with and without purpose or indiscreet lewd acts with 16 yr. old girls in a squad car resulting in pregnancy.
As with every profession there are good and bad as LEOs are surprisingly human just like the rest of us. The difference is they frequently witness inhuman acts perpetrated by their fellow citizens. I can comprehend how some can reach the conclusion that we'd (non-LE) be better off without firearms but that's flawed thinking. We'd be better off without criminals as they represent the totality of the problem and what are criminals but ordinary folks with a disdain for their fellows who seek to separate them from life, liberty...criminals are like politicians.
Realize our Politician in Chief doesn't care for reason or compromise. His agenda is his reason, his idea of compromise is he wrote it, you swallow it whole.
A couple of interesting parts:
And the underlying reason:
I have a BIL that works in a major CA Sheriffs dept. He has brought this very issue of PD Chiefs not being elected up few times and how they become puppets for the politicians.
My BIL is very pro 2A even for the average citizen
Note that Obama is mostly meeting with the chiefs of police who FAILED to protect their citizens.
I'm OK with learning from our mistakes, but it seems Obama wants to take the failed policies of the cities with problems and spread the misery.
Aurora is one of (if not the worst) the worst cities in Colorado - it was not always that way. I'm struggling to think of a worse city - maybe Denver, but at least Denver has a decent downtown.
AAACCKK!! Right under my nose!
Here I thought being in Utah would be a safe haven for my family and my hobbies. Police Chief Chris Burbank has pushed Salt Lake City citizens under the bus.
"I agree with the president from his position that if there is some way that we can save even one life or that we can prevent a tragedy like this from occurring then we certainly owe it to the nation to look at that and find out if that is an avenue that we need to take," Chief Chris Burbank
He holds up the Trolley Square tragedy as justification for his "expert opinion" in this matter. He seems to forget that the emotionally disturbed person in that case was confronted by an off-duty officer with a concealed weapon. BTW, Trolley Square is a "GUN FREE ZONE" so it should never have even happened, right? When this hero engaged the madman, it completely changed the tide of the encounter. With only 1 glock and 8 rounds, the officer held him at bay until SWAT could arrive.....6 minutes later!!! And when SWAT finally set boots in the door, what did they engage the psycho with??? That's right...their patrol carbines! WITH 30 round magazines! What was this psycho using to go on his rampage? Yes, a PUMP SHOTGUN and a revolver.
Chris Burbank, You have failed your oath to this community and to the Constitution. It is my mission now to make sure you are removed from your job!
I was complacent because I saw it all playing out on a national level. THIS is right at my doorstep!
When Obama talks about new gun controls and lack of compromise among the GOP.... it might be the only effective method he has to keep
people -mostly those who get their only 'news' from the tv- from being more aware of the frightening federal deficit and borrowing ceiling.
Aren't most of these police chiefs seen with 'Him' on tv simply politicians at this point in their careers, part of their city machines?
Makes me think of what the biker gangs in Canada did to intimidate the police. They sent each officer photos of their homes, spouse, kids, schools that the kids attend.
It's the police brass and not the line officers who are anti-2A. Brass are politicians (or pogues) and they reach where they do because of politics.
He picks and chooses his civil rights battles.
He is more interested in protecting the rights of illegal immigrants that protecting the 2nd amendment.

Résumé :
Based on the immensely popular six-part BBC program that will air in the U.S. and Canada during the fall of 1995, this book offers what writer/filmmaker David Attenborough is best known for delivering: an intimate view of the natural world wherein a multitude of miniature dramas unfold. In the program and book, both titled The Private Life of Plants, Attenborough treks through rainforests, mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and home gardens to show us things we might never have suspected about the vegetation that surrounds us. With their extraordinary sensibility, plants compete endlessly for survival and interact with animals and insects: they can see, count, communicate, adjust position, strike, and capture. Attenborough makes the plant world a vivid place for readers, who in this book can enjoy the tour at their own pace, taking in the lively descriptions and nearly 300 full-color photos showing plants in fascinating detail. The author reveals to us the aspects of plants' lives that seem hidden from view, such as fighting, avoiding or exploiting predators or neighbors, and struggling to find food, increase their territories, reproduce themselves, and establish their place in the sun. Among the most outstanding examples, the acacia can communicate with other acacias and repel enemies that might eat their leaves, the orchid can impersonate female wasps to attract males and ensure the spreading of its pollen, the Venus's flytrap can take other organisms captive and consume them. Covering this remarkable range of information with enthusiasm and clarity, Attenborough helps us to look anew at the vegetation on which all life depends and which has an intriguing life of its own. He has created a book sure to please the plant lover and any other reader interested in exploring the natural world.

Yes, I play accoustic guitar and fiddle, and love to jam with wine! : )
Hi! I enjoy jamming, mostly folk, but I also play old-time music (but there are other jams for that genre). Looking forward to meeting new jammers in the area.
Awesome! So much fun hearing others play (they're so good!) and jamming along.

While Constable is well known for his studies of clouds made during the 1820s, many pages in Turner's notebooks record this kind of subject as an ever-present concern of his work. Ruskin wrote that the scientific delineation of 'the aspects of sunset and sunrise, with all their attendant phenomena of cloud and mist' was a central obsession in contemporary art. It is easy to see in these studies how Turner was able to recreate the effects of clouded skies in the finished watercolours for projects such as the 'Rivers of England' and the 'Picturesque Views in England and Wales'.

Join Dr Penny Pullan, ESI Senior Instructor and Author of recent book ' Business Analysis and Leadership: Influencing change' (Kogan Page 2013), in this practical and thought provoking presentation.
Penny has twenty years of experience both as a project manager and a business analyst. Through her travels and working with various clients, she's seen just how crucial this relationship is for project success. If not managed properly often the different perspectives of these two roles can cause conflict which in return can hinder the success of a project.
With the escalation of Business Analysis, we've seen the emergence of tension in the leadership of projects. Years ago, the Business Analyst reported into the Project Manager and was just another team member. Now Business Analysis is even more critical to success meaning that the BA and PM must work closely together as peers. How does this work in practice? Well, sometimes not so well. That's not surprising given the different perspectives of these two roles. BAs often refer to PMs as blinkered - only caring about the finish time and the budget. On the other hand, PMs complain that BAs want the best for their stakeholders and that reality doesn't come into it! Of course we're exaggerating, or are we?
The BA/PM relationship is now the critical piece of many projects. When it works well, the project gains the clarity of the real problem and what's needed upfront from the BA. Stakeholders gain the understanding they need and they are engaged by the joint communications strategy. Both the project scope (PM) and the product scope (BA) are well managed and understood by both parties. Risk isn't left to the PM alone, but the BA works alongside the PM and the stakeholders so that risks are identified and dealt with effectively. With true alignment and some understanding of the other's area, this is a truly productive partnership.
Would productive partnership describe your company's BA/PM relationships? Could these relationships be better, join us to explore how these important roles can become a coalition for success for your projects

Posted on 02/02/2013 9:13:10 AM PST by DogByte6RER
click here to read article
God, I am so glad I am a member of Free Republic!!!!!! I needed a good laugh today. I don't do photo shop but if I did I would turn the gun around so the barrel is on his shoulder not the stock. Also who do they think they are releasing a picture and telling people what they can do with it! Does the background flora look right for the vineyard? Again everyone thanks for the laugh. Today is now Groundhog talk like a pirate day!!!AAArg!
That is all this White House thugs do is...
That struck me too, but I assumed maybe it was a skeet vs. trap thing. (Or maybe there's a nice tasty dog out of frame to the left)
I'm right handed but shoot left handed.
However I'm nearly blind in my right eye.
Bkmk for the hilarity that is sure to ensue.
Assault scissors
He thinks he's Hokeye from Last of the Mohammadicans.
Rambobama is an assault prezzy.
Someone needs to photoshop a fly on his face.
Literally laughed out loud!!
I have shot at ranges where the shooting position was higher than the range.
The fact that he's holding it like a rifle with his head way too low seems odder. Stock seems not to fit him either.
When photoshop is outlawed., only outlaws will have photoshop.
Looks like a higher grade Citori of some sort which is a pretty decent shotgun. I'm guessing it's what they could pull off the shelf at the nearest Cabelas for their emergency photo shoot.
Like this?
OMG, you owe me a new keyboard. That is hilarious...:)
So far, this one's my favorite.
Oh, now that one's been retouched for sure!
It appears to be a Browning Citori 625. It's made in Japan, and it's ported to the right for a right handed shooter. This gun obviously doesn't belong to left-handed Obama.
Who would want to photoshop it? This is GOLD.
Oh, my. *snork*
Expect a visit from the Secret Service.
(Yes, that was a joke.)
The picture is public property distributed by government employees that was taken of a public servant on US Government property.
There is no proprietary bullshit here. The picture does not contain any prohibitive markings within its content.
They can go f@ck themselves.
Well, it's not as if we really need to; he's so good at doing it himself.
Well dammit, when she left my house for that photo shoot I asked her if she had panties on.
Obama and his Lonny Tune comrades are Thought Nazis.
I'll be posting several of these on FB today, because this is still America.
That one is going to be a CLASSIC! Great job!
Constructive criticism: the "package" is way not proportional!
ASSault weapon with an illegal magazine....CALL DA COPS!
Time for Sheriff Joe's boys to debunk the photo. Should be fun.
My thoughts exactly...or did the White House just eliminate the First Amedment?
You get my vote for the best photoshop of this picture by far. The others are good but the message composition of yours is spot on.
The picture is window washing. So what will happen if we photoshop the pictures ? I guess freedom of speech has been repealed in the USS of A !
Facebook is on their game.
I attempted to put it on my page and it was immediately deleted.
This is to inform you that you are in violation of a directive of the White House and that you are to immediately cease your manipulation of an official White House photograph for political purposes.
P.S. We will be investigating how you knew the underwear worn by the Commander in Chief.
If that is true, then my Facebook account (that I rarely use) is getting shut down.
"...Hughes was the coordinator of online organizing for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign on My.BarackObama.com, the campaign's online social networking website.[6] He was the subject of an April 2009 cover story in Fast Company magazine under the headline, "The Kid Who Made Obama President; How Facebook Cofounder Chris Hughes Unleashed Barack's Base - and Changed Politics and Marketing Forever.""
He is now editor in chief of The New Republic and has egg on his face because they published/tweeted the original photoshopped photo of Obama skeetin'.
"Mag Pushes Fake Picture of Obama Skeet Shooting (then deletes it)"
The barrel must be ported on top. It keeps the muzzle flip down and recoil low especially on multiple shots in a row.
I just posted it to my FB page and also shared it with 5 groups.
At the moment, they're all still up.
So lets see. Accoring to the news media, Obama teed off at the AFB course at 9:00 AM that day, played for 6 hours, hopped on the plane, flew to Camp David, arriving well after 3 PM, (not sure how long the flight is), went skeet shooting and then joined a small group of friends & aides to celebrate his birthday.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama celebrated his 51st birthday Saturday with a round of golf and a quiet weekend at Camp David, taking a break from campaigning three months before Election Day.
Obama, wearing a white golf shirt, khaki pants and sunglasses, boarded Marine One at Andrews Air Force Base after about six hours on the golf course before heading to Camp David. He was joined by a small group of friends and aides that included White House chef Sam Kass, a frequent golf partner.
Is he that small or is that rifle that big, it looks out of scale, almost photo-shopped to me....
All we need to add is John Kerry in his bunny suit!
