Silver Is Being Manipulated, Platinum Is Not
NEW YORK ( Bullion Bulls Canada) -- Observant precious metals investors would have recently noticed a rare -- almost unheard of -- occurrence: A bullion market where prices actually respond to supply/demand fundamentals. No, obviously I'm not referring to either the gold or silver market, but rather the platinum market.
Analysis was provided by a
Specifically, the article noted that recycling in the platinum market had quadrupled over the last decade. Compounding that bearish supply factor, industrial demand has softened considerably, and even jewelry demand has been shown to be more price-sensitive than previously thought.
The combination of these factors has meant that platinum inventories are abundant, and with weak supply/demand fundamentals and abundant inventories, prices have floundered. The price of platinum is now trading below the price of gold (a very unusual situation).
With a concrete example illustrating both supply/demand fundamentals and how markets are supposed to respond to those fundamental, the extreme/serial manipulation of theCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Syrian prime minister defects from Assad regime (+video)
Syrian Prime Minister Riyad Hijab, a Sunni in Bashar al-Assad's Alawite-dominated government, is among the highest profile defectors to the opposition.
Amman, Jordan
Syrian Prime Minister Riyad Hijab has defected to the opposition seeking to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, a spokesman for Hijab said on Monday, marking one of the highest profile desertions from the Damascus government.
Syrian state television said Hijab had been fired, but an official source in the Jordanian capital Amman said he had been dismissed only after he fled across the border with his family.
"I announce today my defection from the killing and terrorist regime and I announce that I have joined the ranks of the freedom and dignity revolution," Hijab said in a statement read in his name by the spokesman, which was broadcast on Al Jazeera television. "I announce that I am from today a soldier in this blessed revolution."
Syrian state television reported Hijab's dismissal as government forces appeared to prepare a ground assault to clear battered rebels from Aleppo, the country's biggest city.
The opposition Syrian National Council said a further two ministers and three army generals had defected with Hijab. That assertion could not immediately be verified.
Hijab was a top official of the ruling Baath party but, like all other senior defectors so far from the government and armed forces, he was also a Sunni Muslim rather than a member of Assad's Alawite sect, which has long dominated the Syrian state.

Woman fights hammer-wielding man with cane
By BETH RANKIN
November 18, 2009
Posted: November 18, 2009, 2:50 PM CST Last updated: November 18, 2009, 4:12 PM CST
A Kirbyville woman fought back against a hammer-wielding attacker early Wednesday morning, getting in two good hits with her cane before the man fled into nearby woods.
Kirbyville Police Chief Jeff Clopp said officers responded to a call of a woman screaming at Pecan Grove Apartments on the 500 block of West Levert just after 1:20 a.m. Wednesday.
When officers arrived on the scene, Clopp said, they found a disabled woman on the ground with a head injury.
The woman reported that a tall, thin black male dressed all in black with a ski mask and gloves was breaking windows in the apartment complex.
After he'd broken four apartments' windows, the woman attempted to stop him by hitting him on the head with her walking cane, Clopp said.
"It left a welt on his head, I'm sure," he said.
As the woman turned back to her apartment, the man struck the back of her head with the hammer, knocking her to the ground, Clopp said.
The man reared back to strike her again with the hammer, but the woman struck him once more with her cane, this time hitting his arm and causing him to yell "ouch" and drop the hammer, Clopp said.
The man fled into nearby woods where the Jasper County Police Department K-9 unit was able to track his scent for a mile before losing it in the parking lot of Weaver Brothers Motors.
Clopp said police collected DNA, the hammer and the cane used to strike the attacker and are sending the evidence to the Department of Public Safety crime lab in Houston for analysis.
Police are looking for any information that might lead to the man's arrest.
"I gotta catch this guy," Clopp said, noting that he and local police have been working non-stop to find the man since the initial incident at 1 a.m.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call EasTex Crime Stoppers at 409-724-TIPS.

NFL draft season doesn't officially kick off until the scouting combine in Indianapolis starting on February 17, but for outside observers, the release of a new mock draft from ESPN's Mel Kiper is all they need to get in the spirit. On February 11, Kiper finally unveiled his second mock draft. Show More Summary
USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams is projected as the No. 3 pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2015 NFL draft, according to ESPN analyst Mel Kiper's mock draft.
Kiper has Mariota going at No. 2 to the Titans, followed by DE Leonard Williams to the Jaguars with the third pick. It's everyone's favorite time of the year -- Mock Draft season -- and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. released his first Mock Draft of the 2015 draft on Thursday. Show More Summary
With 28 NFL teams working to build their rosters for 2015, most eyes are already focused on the offseason. One of the great traditions each year around this time is the release of ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper's first mock draft. Unquestionably...Show More Summary
Mel Kiper is one of the most respected names in the NFL draft game. The guru has earned his status as an expert by putting out popular mock drafts on a regular basis that accurately identify the needs and desires of each NFL team heading...Show More Summary
The final mock drafts are in and both Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN and Mike Mayock of the NFL Network have USC wide receiver Marqise Lee being the first-round pick for the Kansas City Chiefs. I have my doubts whether Lee will be available to the Chiefs when they finally get a chance to make the 23rd pick in the draft. Show More Summary
While Big Mel does OK for himself in mock drafts, though not overly OK, we thought it would be prudent to remind you that the last time we looked, Kiper's pre-draft rankings (which are his estimations of how good the players are, not where they will be drafted) stunk pretty hard. Read more...
The NFL draft is finally here! But we can't let the day go by without one last look at projections from around the league before the real event takes place at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Longtime ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. provided his final 2014 mock draft on Thursday. Show More Summary
The most famous draft expert alive makes his predictions known on the eve of the draft. The 2014 NFL Draft will get rolling on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall, but before any of the real stuff begins, Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN released...Show More Summary
The 2014 NFL draft is just a few hours from starting off, making this an ideal time to take one last good look at the final mock draft (subscription required) from notable ESPN guru, Mel Kiper Jr. Kiper has crafted a number of mocksShow More Summary
Finally, the wait is over. The extended time has felt like an eternity, but we have made it to the eve of the NFL draft. Last week, we featured our Chicago Bears' Mock Draft Roundup and gave you picks from ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay. Show More Summary
While anybody can put together a mock of the 2014 NFL draft, few have the gravitas of ESPN's guru Mel Kiper Jr. Kiper is one of the biggest names in draft prognostication, and when each one of his mocks comes out, it's a big day for football fans. On Tuesday, he unveiled his fifth edition, which you can view on ESPN.com (subscription required). Show More Summary
For most of the fall, Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was talked about as being almost a lock to be the first quarterback selected in the NFL Draft and perhaps the first overall selection by the Houston Texans. As the draft has drawn closer, that sentiment no longer seems to be the case. However, Bridgewater still…
You may disagree with his selections, wonder how many pounds of hair product he's used over the years or simply go elsewhere for your NFL draft analysis, but no one can deny ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. is the O.G. of the mock-draft game. Kiper has been mocking so long I assume his first were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Show More Summary
As I went through the most recent rendition of ESPN NFL Draft Insider Mel Kiper Jr.'s mock draft, I began to think about Arizona's relationship with quarterbacks in the first round of the draft. And after I began researching it, I noticed...Show More Summary
ESPN's Mel Kiper is back with another 2014 NFL mock draft, but this time with a twist—he's the general manager of each team for three rounds. Most mock drafts, including Kiper 's offerings, simply project how the overall board falls based on a variety of factors. Show More Summary
The Atlanta Falcons currently hold the sixth overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, although general manager Thomas Dimitroff has reiterated his willingness to trade up or down. Mel Kiper's fourth mock draft -- one in which he picks asShow More Summary

ESPN's Mel Kiper has released the latest version of his 2014 NFL mock draft, and it's a whirlwind of surprises thanks to the drastic changes the first days of free agency have caused on team needs around the league. Like Kiper hints near the top of the mock, teams are not even close to having an actual selection pegged down at their respective slots. Show More Summary

• Larry Johnson, Chiefs: We've been telling you all season that if Priest Holmes were to ever miss a game, this is the guy you'd want in your lineup. Doesn't matter the opponent. Or the weather. Or if Trent Green is playing well. Johnson was the top player in fantasy football in December of last season, the month when fantasy playoff games are played. And he just might do it again. He's that talented, a potential top-five fantasy RB. Priest missed the Week 9 game and Johnson got all the carries, and he ended up the No. 3 player of the week, behind weekly fantasy stalwarts LaDainian Tomlinson and Shaun Alexander. Johnson was having an OK day until the final minute, when it got a lot better. He broke off a 36-yard screen pass to get the Chiefs to the 1-yard line with five seconds left. Then, amazingly, coach Dick Vermeil opted not for the field goal and a tie, but to go for the win, and Johnson dove in for the winning touchdown on the final play. Add it up and it's 107 yards rushing and two touchdowns, plus 48 receiving yards. And he's going to do it again and again and again if Holmes misses more games. Keep an eye on this situation.

U.S. Military Sees the Danger of Global Warming
Pacific Command not waiting on politics to plan for climate change challenges.
9 Aug 2014. Stars and Stripes As Congress remains gridlocked on more than 200 bills related to climate change, U.S. Pacific Command is forging strategies with partner nations in the region to mitigate the security effects of global warming. "You can't deny the fact that there are military consequences going on as a result of storms." Indeed, despite claims by some that global warming is a myth, there's growing accord among analysts and military thinkers around the world that the repercussions of climate change will require the same application of strategy the military would employ when grappling with any foe. To that end, PACOM initiated a series of forums held throughout the region designed to brainstorm military-civil solutions to climate-related security issues…. To keep such efforts on track, PACOM last fall began incorporating an environmental strategy into all its planning, programs and exercises.
Climate Change Threatens National Security
Rear Adm. David W. Titley. 5 July 2014.
This issue is about science, not politics, and the military is taking it very seriously. "We have seen the scientific consensus continue to develop and solidify, while signatures of a warming world — from global temperature trends to severe weather events — strongly suggest that our climate is already changing. And we are increasingly worried about the lack of comprehensive action by the United States and the global community."

LEDs flickering during flight! Help?
Hey guys, I have a an Ares Gamma 370 with the brushless motor/esc upgrade and I decided to fill in the extra aux and gear channel on the rx with a pair of Easylights from Dimension Engineering and I noticed during my first night flight that the pair of LEDs would flicker off for just a split second, then back on. This happened once more and I decided to try to land and see what was going on. Then, the lights went out for a solid 2-3 seconds. I think my heart stopped during that time, but they miraculously came back on about 50 feet above the ground and I pulled out of the horrifying dive I had gone into. I emergency landed as quick as I could into the grass.
So anyway, does anyone know what might be the problem for them doing that? I am not sure but I believe power to the entire plane was cut off, since it dove down when the lights went off. The battery is 2s 7.4v 20c, and these lights are just supposed to be PnP - simple so I am afraid to go back out at dark until I figure this out. TL;DR - My Easylights keep going out during flight. I have 2 of them plugged into 2 spare channels on my 6 ch rx. I am using a 2s 7.4v 20c battery. Any ideas on the problem? Pics included if anyone has advice or can see something I am doing wrong. I am just a beginner! |

In most receivers the + POS. (red) and - NEG (black) are common to all channels and to provide power to any device plugged into them. Only the "S" Signal pin is unique to each and is used to send position data also to anything plugged into it. These wires are normally white, yellow or orange with newer systems.
Some lighting systems will also have a signal wire as they can alter functions depending on signal to turn on landing lights, change pulse rates, etc. I imagine your basic lighting does not have anything plugged into that pin and will be limited to just the red and black. Most should do nothing if plugged into the receiver the wrong way. This will still have the red correct, but the NEG will now be plugged into the S pin. Cannot guarantee no problems, so it would always be good to double check before powering it up by confirming it's the same as the other channels. As for power, I would recommend a separate BEC as the easiest and best method to fix your problem. They are very inexpensive now and have some good ratings. In fact, I run all my helis this way as their flight control systems are so much more demanding. If your current ESC lists the BEC output grab one of greater current rating. If you really want to be sure a 6A should more than cover you. They do take a bit of work to install. First would be to eliminate the current onboard BEC by popping the red lead in the plug from the ESC to the receiver and taping it back or covering it with heat shrink. The new BEC needs to be soldered to the existing battery connection so it gets power when the battery is plugged in. If you have a spare channel in the receiver simply plug the BEC output into that and go flying. If not things get a bit more complex and I would try to cover that in another post. As for cooling there are a few little tricks we commonly use. One unobtrusive inlet is what is called a NACA duct. Have a boo here and you will see what I mean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_duct I also included a pic of one in the nose of my Polaris. The floor of the duct has not been installed yet. Another very easy way to make either an inlet or outlet, (or both) are plastic spoons. Simply cut the end in half, sand the edge and use the forward part as a scoop covering either an inlet or outlet hole. The second pic shows an example of that. |

DHHS → MECDC → Health Equity → WIC → For Families → FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does it matter where I spend my WIC checks?
- Many stores in Maine and some in New Hampshire accept Maine WIC checks. These stores must carry WIC approved foods. Find WIC Stores in your county.
- Why does WIC need to weigh and measure my child?
- Your child's height and weight tell us a lot about her health. WIC weighs and measures a child regularly. How your child grows over time can identify a concern before it becomes a problem.
- Why does WIC need to do a blood test?
- Since WIC is a health and nutrition program, we check iron level in the blood. A low iron level can be an indication of anemia.
- What does WIC consider as income?
- WIC benefits are made available based on federal income guidelines. Income includes all cash before taxes earned by anyone who lives in the household. It also includes money from other sources such as Social Security benefits, public assistance, alimony or child support payments and unemployment compensation. Call your local WIC clinic for questions about income.
- What should I do if I move to another town or state?
- Contact your local WIC clinic before you move. They can give you the phone number of a WIC office near your new home. Ask your local WIC staff to provide you with the information you need before you move. They can give you information to take with you that will verify you have participated in the WIC program in Maine. Bring that information with you when you go to a new WIC office.
- How often do I have to go to the WIC office or clinic?
- You will be asked to visit your WIC office every one to three months. Your local WIC staff will tell you what you need to bring for each visit.
- What should I do with formula that my baby does not need?
- Return any unused infant formula to your local WIC office. Do not take it back to the store, or give it to someone else.
- What do I need to do if my baby's formula gets changed?
- Contact your local WIC office. They will tell you if you need to have a prescription from the doctor for the new formula. Any unused formula and WIC checks will need to be brought back to the WIC office before the staff can give you checks for the new formula.
- What should I do if the amount of any of the foods on my checks is too much for me or my child to eat each month?
- Talk to your WIC counselor. The amount of food on your checks may be changed to fit your needs.
- What is BPA and why should I be concerned?
- BPA is the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is used to harden plastics, keep bacteria from growing in foods, and prevent cans from rusting. While scientists are still studying its effects on humans, many parents are choosing to use baby bottles that are free of BPA. Visit our BPA FAQ page for more information.

Insomnia is not a disease. Insomnia is a certain way of life.
Man is made by nature to work hard for at least eight hours. Unless he works hard for eight hours he does not earn the right to have a deep sleep. And as a society grows richer, people are not working hard. There is no need; others can work for them. The whole day they are doing small things which they enjoy doing, but it is not hard work like that of a stonecutter or a woodcutter. The body is made so that after eight hours of hard work it naturally needs to fall into sleep to rejuvenate its energy. But it seems difficult...you have earned enough money and still you are chopping wood for eight hours? Then for what have you earned all that money? It seems stupid. You could have chopped wood even without becoming a millionaire.
So if fifty million people in America are suffering from insomnia, that simply means these are the people who are not earning the right to sleep. They are not working to create the situation in which sleep happens. You cannot find fifty million people in a poor country...you cannot find five people.
It has been known for centuries that beggars sleep better than emperors. Laborers, manual laborers sleep better than intellectuals. The poor sleep better than the rich, because they have to work hard to earn their bread and butter, but side by side they are also earning the right to have a beautiful sleep.
Insomnia is not a disease, it is the richest way of life. In fact what is happening is: the whole day you are resting; then in the night you are tossing and turning in the bed. That is the only exercise left for you, and you don't want to do even that exercise. Toss and turn as much as you can. If the whole day is of resting then the night cannot be of sleep. You have already rested.
If the people who are suffering from insomnia really want to get rid of it they should not think of it as a disease. Visiting a doctor is meaningless. They should start working in their garden, doing some hard work, and forget all about sleep; it will come. It always comes, you don't have to bring it.
These are the difficulties. Nature never intended that a few people should have all the riches in the world and most of the people should be poor. Looking at the intentions of nature, it seems it wanted everybody to work. It never wanted these classes of the poor and the rich; it wanted a classless society where everybody is working.
It is possible the work may be different. If you have been painting the whole day, that will also bring sleep. Or you have to create artificial exercises – go to the gym, run for miles, jog. Many idiots are doing it. A futile exercise – why jog when you can chop wood? Why jog when your garden is being looked after by somebody else who sleeps perfectly? You pay him for the work, and he sleeps perfectly well.
You jog, and nobody pays you and you find it difficult to sleep. How much can you jog? How much can you run? And a man who has not slept the whole night does not feel like running in the morning, because the whole night he has been struggling to find a little bit of sleep. Tired of tossing and turning, in the morning he finds a little bit of sleep – and that is the time suggested that he should run and he should jog!
Insomnia should not be counted among diseases. People should be made aware that you are not following the natural course that the body needs. Then you can do small things...swimming, tennis – but it will not be a real substitute for hard labor for eight hours. Man basically was a hunter – and not with machine guns, just with arrows – running after deer. It was not every day that he would get his food. The whole day he would run and follow the animals and would not be able to catch one, and he would come home empty-handed but utterly tired.
Your body is still asking you to do that. You can choose in what way you want to do it; then insomnia will disappear of its own accord.
Those fifty million insomnia sufferers do not need any compassion from anybody. They have to be told directly and straightforwardly, "Your way of life is wrong. Change it; otherwise suffer." And it will bring a great revolution if fifty million people start working eight hours a day. They don't need it for their food, for their clothing, for their shelter, but they can work for those who need food, who need medicine, who need other necessities of life.
If fifty million people turn out to work hard eight hours per day in the service of the poor, it will change the whole climate of the society. The very idea of fighting, of struggle between classes, will disappear – because there will be no classes.
And this is going to become a bigger problem every day because machines are replacing man in every field. Machines are more efficient, more obedient, can work twenty-four hours without any rest, seven days a week...no holiday, no religious holiday, because they are neither Jews nor Christians nor Hindus.
Machines don't ask for anything, not even for a coffee break. And one machine can work in place of a hundred people or a thousand people, so soon the whole world is going to be in a trouble: insomnia is going to be one of the biggest troubles in the coming days because when the machine takes over, the man is free. He will be paid for his unemployment, and paid enough so that he does not ask for employment. He will have enough money.
So what can he do? He can play cards, chess, drink alcohol, have a fight – and suffer insomnia. Insomnia is going to be a worldwide phenomena. What is happening to fifty million people in America will be happening to almost every person whose work is taken from him. When people retire they start suffering from insomnia, and they had never suffered before.
So I don't believe that it is a disease. Don't categorize it as the third most prevalent disease. It is not of the category of diseases; it is our wrong way of life.
There may be a few people, a very few people, for whom it may be a disease – for example, the intellectuals whose minds are continuously working and get into the habit of working. Then in the night when they want to sleep the mind goes on working, and that's enough for insomnia. And they have no control over the mind to stop it. They may shout; the mind doesn't care about it.
The mind, while you are resting in bed, goes on unwinding itself, because in the day there were many sidelines of thoughts which have been left incomplete; they have to be completed. Mind is a perfectionist. It wants to do everything perfectly, so whatever has remained incomplete it is trying to complete. And it has no need of sleep. It is the body that needs sleep. If the body has not worked and has not earned any sleep, and the mind has been functioning too much and going so fast that it has become habituated to it, this type of man may even work with the body and still suffer insomnia. Then it will be a disease. Then he needs the medicine I call meditation, so that his mind can relax and allow the body to go into sleep.
But these people who cannot sleep are really suffering badly because in their life there is nothing – no meaning, all hypocrisy. "Socializing" they call it. And then in the night they cannot even sleep. The day is useless, the night is useless. They have lost all touch with life. They should be helped.
There should be more meditation centers specially for people who are suffering from insomnia. Meditation will help them to relax. And when they come to meditate then they should be told, "Alone meditation will not do; it is half of the work. Half you have to do – that is hard physical exercise." And I think people are in such a suffering without sleep that they will be able to do anything that is suggested.
And hard work has a beauty of its own. Chopping wood and perspiring and a cool breeze comes...and there is such a beautiful feeling in the body, which a person who is not working hard cannot even understand. The poor man also has his luxuries. Only he knows about them.

How I Became the Victim (part 1)Six months ago I met my first fangirl. It was a strange thing, really, to find that someone could be so completely in love with me when everyone else was afraid and repulsed by my mutilated face. When I climbed through that girl's window that night, knife in hand, ready to strike when I found her stirring awake and whispered my favourite phrase into her ear, willing her to either go to sleep or wake up and scream, expecting the ear-splitting shriek of terror I was completely unprepared for what was about to happen. As usual, I found my victim stirring slightly in her bed, ready to wake at any moment. I gripped the handle of my knife tightly and chuckled at the thought of her precious blood spattering all over me, relishing the idea of its warm sweetness seeping into my clothes and hair, staining my skin. Oh, I would cherish this kill. I grinned wider than normal as I leaned in toward her, noticing with in
How I Became the Victim (part 2)It was Monday when I had that first horrible encounter with Sabrina and Thursday when I struck up an unusual treaty with a mysterious girl named Karen...On Friday, I decided I needed to pretty much lay low and try to stay as far out of trouble's reach as I could be. I was extremely hungry, but since I didn't have any money and because my face frightened people too much, I couldn't just walk into a restaurant and order food, so I had taken to stealing it whenever it was needed. However, without my knife I was defenseless, and thievery became dangerous for me. Besides the danger factor, if I were to show my face and stir up any trouble now, then the police in this town would be aware of my presence and give me no rest, thus destroying my chance to meet up with Karen again and get back that precious object of mine. I fretted over this dilemma for hours before finally deciding that I would just have to go without eating until I could be reunited
How I Became the Victim (part 3a)*************************************Later that night, I sat on the edge of the sidewalk as far away from the street light as I could and waited, rather impatiently, for Karen... who seemed to be taking a lot longer than expected to show up. I noted, with some annoyance, that the weather might have possibly had a hand in keeping her. It was raining."Estúpida lluvia!" I muttered angrily under my breath. Why did it have to rain tonight?Just when I was about to give up and head back to the junkyard, I noticed someone coming.I stood and faced the direction from which the figure was approaching. It was, indeed, Karen, and I was glad to see her. It seemed a bit strange, after a year of hiding and hating people, avoiding human contact at all costs (even the cost of peoples' lives), to actually be glad to see another person. At the same time, I felt uneasy. I looked at her face as she approached. There was no emotion there."Hello Jeff," she said flatly."Hi Karen," I said

McFadden to stay put
16 Aug 2006 - 07:31:36
Everton forward James McFadden has agreed a new contract to extend his stay at Goodison Park beyond the end of the coming campaign.
The 23-year-old Scotland international has been with the Toffees since September 2003, having moved to Merseyside for £1.25million from Motherwell.
McFadden told the club's official website: "It's good that it's sorted.
"I've always wanted to stay and it's finalised now and hopefully I can get on with my football at Everton.
"Every time there's speculation that I'm going somewhere, but I'm quite happy now and just about to sign a new contract at Everton.
"I hope I can break into the team. Andy Johnson has come in and done really well, he looks sharp and can score goals.
"Hopefully I can get in, I want to be in the team and I don't mind who I'm alongside as long as I'm playing."
McFadden has scored ten goals in 97 appearances for Everton.

There aren't any politicians that I would really like to meet.
This is a discussion on Would you disarm to meet a candidate? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; There aren't any politicians that I would really like to meet....
There aren't any politicians that I would really like to meet.
Bend the knees, smooth is fast, watch the front sight.
Most candidates/political people/celebrities I wouldn't care to meet anyway. A few I would, and my decision to attend and disarm would be on a case-by-case basis. If I were able to meet a president or ex-president, the secret service will be involved. It's not a political issue with them, it's their duty to protect that person.
How about this as a modified question to the OP?
If you were to receive an award presented to you by POTUS for some deed or heroism that you did, would you attend unarmed?
Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME. Our success in this will be proportional to how hard we work to make it happen.
It's not so much the "carrying there" its the trip to and from.
Not much different from the "why do you need a gun in a library" argument. People get mugged in parking lots of libraries.
The purpose would be like the purpose to carry anywhere else: self defense.
It would be a bummer to disarm, get to meet your favorite candidate and then get mugged heading back to your car or home.
Having said that, I firmly believe that with the waccos running around today, if the President or either of the two major candidates were not surrounded by SS, the would be killed by someone.
The SS around them is not a guarantee that they won't be killed, it just makes it a little more difficult.
If I had had a chance to meet Regan, hell yes I would disarm.
Haven't seen anyone recently that I would definitely do that for, so I'll just stay away.
fortiter in re, suaviter in modo (resolutely in action, gently in manner).
There are a lot of places I have to disarm to go to. I don't like it but that's the way it is. Bush came to Erie back in '04 and my kids wanted to go. My children wanting to go see the president made it a no-brainer. The gun stayed in the car.
Seeing a no brainer is a no-brainer.
I would disarm for the right person and would heavily arm for the rest.
I would also take a shovel to dig myself a foxhole in the B.S
Short answer, No! To what end would I desire to meet a candidate?
Surely it would not be for the purpose of establishing a friendship--it doesn't seem likely I would be in regular contact with this person. Perhaps it could be valuable for name-dropping purposes?
Would I imagine speaking with the candidate for a few seconds to a few minutes (or even hours) would result in an intuitive judgment that would let me make the right decision about casting my vote for him or her?
Actually, It is impossible to determine what someone is going (or even likely) to do in the future by interviewing them and using your intuitive power to make a determination. You could guess correctly (in part) but this would only be chance. You might as well draw straws. Even if we believe that everyone has "tells," could we pick up on them in so short a period of time and thus detect lies or deceit?
A better method (though far from perfect) is to rely on assessment of past performance. Study and read about the psychology of decision making and rational judgment.
A couple of books to consider:
Sutherland, Stuart, Irrationality: Why We Don't Think Straight. New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1994.
Dawes, R.M., Rational Choice in an Uncertain World. Orlando: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1988.
"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." G.K. Chesterton
I would disarm to meet Sarah Palin. To heck with the rest.
John Steinbeck: Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
We Could meet at the range! I would gladly take pointer s from the future VP.
I wonder if she carries? It would nt surprise me.
Why Would A Preacher ever need a Gun? Its Not for the Sheep , its for the Wolves!
Springfield Armory Service XD 40
Taurus PT 1911 45 acp Taurus PT 101, PT 92
Ruger 22/45 Ruger P95 9mm, Ruger SR9
Kahr CW 40, Heritage 22, Rossi 38 special
Yes I would. I carry 24-7 but will disarm if there is something I want to do and can't carry.
By the number of us who see no problem in disarming just so they can go schmooze people who DO NOT CARE about us other than as potential votes. I disarm regularly; when I HAVE to, as required by law. That's it. This is why DC and Maryland get none of my disposible income, and neither does the Great American Restaurants chain.
I have a permit, which means I've had a background investigation. In my particular case, I've also had a background investigation every five years since age 22 (job requirements). If you believe I cannot be trusted to be near you simply because I'm armed, you are A) a feeble-minded idiot, or B) too lazy to do your job without infringing on my rights.
I have no problem with the Service knowing who is armed before they approach a protectee. I just don't believe it's necessary to disarm everyone. Sure, it makes their job easier; so what? Stop & reflect for a minute on just what the acceptance of these policies says about the candidates.....................................
I honestly don't think that I'd cross the street to meet a candidate.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
Thousands of members at the NRA convention this year had to disarm (including pocket knives and bottled water) to hear McCain, Romney, etc. speak. Metal detectors, bag searched, the full airport bit.
When I was in Corps I was in KC-130 aircrew. We occasionally used to carry the President's limo around the country. I have been present when the Secret Service are at work. They don't hesitate! If you did draw a gun or even show one, you would probably be dead before you hit the floor! No warning shouts or anything elese, they would just drill your carcass! I wouldn't even wear anything shiny that could be mistaken for a weapon, think I would go with empty pockets! You don't need a gun, there will be more than enough guns there! I don't really think my widow explaining my 2dA rights to a Secret Service Agent would bring me back to life. Yes, I would disarm if I went to see or hear a candidate.

5 Toxic Stocks to Sell in March
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Buckle your seatbelt. The S&P 500 looks ready for another correction.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
After rocketing straight up in February, the big index is sitting at the top of its trading range, an indication that we're due for some sideways price action in March. As far as the index is concerned, that's just fine; we're in a "buy the dips market" right now, so buyers should be eager for another dip.
The real trouble comes, though, when you hold onto "toxic stocks" during a correction. Those are the names that crush your portfolio's performance when the market takes a breather. That's why, today, we're taking a technical look at five "toxic stocks" you should start selling.
Just to be clear, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly junk. By that, I mean they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, sellers are shoving around these toxic stocks right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms in the weeks and months ahead. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in. >>5 Stock Charts to Buy for Gains in March For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution. So, without further ado, let's take a look at five toxic stocks you should be unloading.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Scottsdale could spend big in shooting suit
PHOENIX -- The City Council in Scottsdale is poised to approve a $350,000 contract with a law firm it has hired to defend a former officer in a wrongful death lawsuit over the last of his six fatal shootings.
The Arizona Republic reports the city hired Struck, Wieneke & Love to defend former officer James Peters from a suit filed by the relatives of John Loxas and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Peters fatally shot Loxas after police were called to his house. He was unarmed and holding his 7-month-old grandson in his doorway when Peters shot him in the head.
The shooting was the officer's seventh since 2002.
Another firm is defending the city and other officials. The Council considers the contract on Nov. 13.

[ BACK ] [ Return to Album ] [ NEXT ] A Chrysler Air Raid Siren atop a building in Rochester, New York. January 1958. Photograph from the Rochester Municipal Archives modern collection.
Caption: "A man examines a Chrysler air raid siren atop a city building in Rochester, N.Y. The multi-horned siren stands about 10 feet tall and is mounted to the corner of the building. This 185 horse-power siren is part of the city and Monroe County's civil defense warning system. The sirens are activated by the Fire Department."
Note that the clutch lever is in the forward disengaged position. This siren has the 13-2 engine cowling. There is a glass bottle and a 5-gallon jerry can next to the roof parapet at the far right side with a flexible metal fill nozzle through the handles. Two conduits can be seen in front of the turntable exiting the turntable junction box. One conduit would have been 115VAC for the heaters and battery charger, the other would be the control circuit used to activate the siren.

Enter name,
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
So many - from the obvious ones like the Taj Mahal, to the quirky like the Bollywood film; from sailing down the Ganges, to visiting the Hope school.

Peter Hooper,
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
The most memorable and unexpected was the trip down the Ganges. A serene interlude in intense trip. The ruins of Hampi in the south where we stayed in a laid back hotel by the rice paddys and the river bank.The terrace view from our hotel in Udaipur and many more.

Our Response
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed much of the trip, but your comments on the time in Goa have most definitely been noted. We've tried accommodating our groups in both North and South Goa, and we have to say that neither is proving entirely satisfactory, as the true India experience is not really to be found in Goa at all. The thinking behind the time there was simply to provide some relaxation time. But we are actively investigating alternative hotel arrangements.
Tour Code
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
So many on a 32 day tour. Taj Mahal, Varanasi Ghats, Temples of Hampi and the sail boat down the Ganges and camping.
Tour Leader Name
Abhishek Chordia
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
We had 3 our first Abhisher Chordia was the best but had to leave whilst camping on the Ganges as his grand father was taken ill. Raj who looked ofter us on the South India part of the tour was good as well.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
If you are booking then 32 days is a long time but the tour is very varied. Travel on the Indian night trains means 6 berths to a compartment and you may have to share with fellow Indian travellers. But this should be part of the experance, take a sleeping bag liner and get in fully dressed. You can't take 32 days worth of cloths, take one weeks worth and wash and go. Keep any small change you get and it's not all curries.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
"By not having a Tour Coach, you use local transport,Tuk Tuk's, cycle rickshaws, etc. This means more families have money coming in. You have to people watch, local Indian Trains aways have room for one more!!"
