I dont have to in my state, I've been stopped 4 times carrying (2-headlite out, 1 - creative lane change, 1-expired registration). I kept my hands at 2 and 10 o'clock on the wheel anytime the officer was at the window.
My CPL would have shown when they ran my plates. One officer 'thanked me' for my hands on the wheel.
Only 1 ticket was written out of those, for the lapsed registration...on Easter Sunday, the regular Explorer wouldnt start....we pulled the old Buick out of the garage to go to relative's dinner. Didnt think about reg. Jerk of a cop wrote us a $240 ticket. I dont normally say that, but to write on that? Under those circumstances? I was completely polite and spoke little except to explain. Like the others, he didnt have to write that ticket.
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)

We do not have to inform in FL, but my first response is/was..."Good morning/evening officier, I'd like you to know that I am a legally armed Floridian."
Then, whatever follows...
The two three times that I've had contact with LEO's, two ignored the fact, one other just said, "Thanks for telling me.", and we went on with business.

No, no, no...It's just what I say when stopped anywhere. FL does not require that you inform...I do it as a courtesy. I have never encountered a problem cop...all have been VERY low key with firearms.
I've only been stopped twice in the last 5 years for traffic corrections, and a couple of other times for incidents requiring information from me. Once in TN, during a trip, there was an incident at a motel where the officer had asked me some questions about an incident at the motel, and I said the same thing. The only reaction was him asking me about my gun (which was a Kimber at the time), he just said, "Nice gun!"

I used to advocate telling the officer and it my state, you might as well because they already know you have a permit. I no longer hold that view. I won't get in to that debate however, but I will make one observation. Most officers are trained to go to high alert when their partner or another officer yells "GUN!". Even if you do decide to tell the officer you are armed, don't use that word. It still triggers a higher response from the officer. Don't increase the officers adrenalin flow ... use the word firearm. Trust me, it won't hurt and it could help.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his

While notification is not required in VA, as soon as the LEO runs your drivers license he knows you have a permit. I've always informed, and never have had a problem.

Hey ret: Methinks NC and the "Floridian" comment has a tinge of sarcasm, just like what I was going to say. "Since I live and are a resident of SC, do I have to inform the LEO that I am not a Floridian" if I am stopped in SC. What if I am stopped in FL? Be safe ret and NC, and G-d Bless.
"Like the others, he didnt have to write that ticket."
He didn't have to but he should have--for operating an unregistered vehicle! Headlights out? Safety! Creative(?) lane change? Hummm.
Everytime I've been pulled over, it was for a good reason. One reaps what one sows.

Well, I'll give him a score of 66 percent.
• Keep hands where officer can see them. (Yes)
• Say "I'm a concealed carry permit holder" (Yes)
• "or I have a gun" (NO NO NO!).
That last phrase is something that (I hope) will never pass my lips in the presence of an officer. I forget where I saw this, but the best notification statement I've come across is:
With hands on steering wheel: "I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and I have it with me. I will follow your instructions. What do you want me to do?"
All this stuff about "it's loaded, here is its location"--I doubt a cop has the patience to hear all of that. I prefer a fast statement, sitting still, and then answering the cop's questions/following instructions as they come. That said, I would only do this in a duty-to-inform state, which fortunately my state is not.
And by the way, because of just this sort of situation, I stopped carrying my wallet on the same side as where I carry, so, when the cop asks for ID, I can honestly say "my holster is on my right side and my wallet is on my left. I am going to reach for my wallet with my left hand." Unless he had pulled me out of the car, he'd have to take my word for this, I guess, but I still think it could help avoid misunderstandings.
With the overhead light on if during the hours of darkness, my window already rolled down before he gets up to the vehicle, and with both hands in plain sight, the first words out of my mouth upon his arrival are "Good evening, Officer. I am a Concealed Handgun License (that is what it is called in Ohio) holder, and I am carrying a handgun. Do you have any instructions for me?". No more, no less, just as required by Ohio law. If anywhere except behind the wheel, same drill, but with my hands on the dashboard or displayed clearly.
There's no requirement to inform here, so I don't. Our licenses aren't tied in to a state database available to local PDs, so they won't show up when our DLs get run through the system. So, no, I don't inform. Why invite trouble?

Where do you typically eat lunch?
Let's talk about food, probably one of the more popular topics to discuss. Specifically, let's talk about lunch. Eating lunch isn't just a way to fill your tank, it can also be a welcome break from work, it represents the daily transition from morning to afternoon, it's a good time to socialize or it's simply an opportunity to eat the kind of food you enjoy.
But where do you eat your lunch? Xoom was interested in that question, so the money transfer business conducted a survey of its FilAm customers to find out. What Xoom discovered was a revealing cross-section of lunch-time locales.
The majority of respondents, 54 percent of those surveyed, said they eat lunch at home. Those in office settings weighed in, too. A full 17 percent answered the question by saying they at their desk at work and following closely behind, 16 percent said they eat their lunch in the office cafeteria or the lunch room. And 9 percent of those who took part in the survey said they eat their lunch in restaurants. Bon appétit.
Do you enjoy watching commercials on TV?
Holding the TV remote control is a position of power. Everybody knows that. Having the TV remote control device in your hands means the place where you're parked on the sofa represents the current seat of authority.
Yes, you can change the television channel, although politeness dictates that it's usually nice to ask anyone else in the room if they mind. But there's also something else you can do with the remote control. You can mute the sound. It might be wise to ask for permission to do that as well.
On the other hand, if you do mute the sound, you can't watch the TV commercials. Now that's a subject that interested Xoom. The money transfer business powerhouse conducted an exclusive survey of its FilAm customers and simply asked if they enjoy watching commercials on television.
The most popular response was 'sometimes,' given by 53 percent of those who answered the survey while 25 percent said they did not watch the TV commercials and 22 percent said that they did indeed watch the commercials.
Do you watch Filipino teleseryes?
Everyone has their own tastes in television shows, which can take you anywhere from sports to news to entertainment to specials and so many more. That's one of the great things about having options, so you can choose your favorite. And there's one particular genre of TV shows that have endured for a very long time. That would be the soap opera, or to the Filipino community, the Philippine drama, or teleseryes.
We already know that the teleseryes, which are aired in prime time, can bring some of the highest advertising rates in Philippine television. So they are lucrative.
But are they really popular with the FilAm audience? Xoom wanted to find out. So Xoom, a leader in the global money transfer business, decided to conduct an exclusive survey of its FilAm customers and get the answer. Xoom asked the question 'Do you watch Filipino teleseryes?'
Let's just say the teleseryes are popular. A majority of the respondents, a full 60 per cent, said they did indeed watch teleseryes. Meanwhile, 40 percent of those who answered the survey said they do not watch Filipino teleseryes.
How many children are in your household?
Most people realize that their families are probably the most vital ingredient in their lives and also that having children adds up to a satisfying aspect of family life. Everyone realizes that having children is an important decision and that such a decision does not come easy sometimes. But if you do choose to have a child, there's another big decision to make then. So just how many children do you have in your household?
This is an interesting question to think about, so much so that Xoom decided to take a closer look at the intriguing situation of having children. Xoom recently conducted an exclusive survey of some of its best Fil-Am clients to find out the answer to this question: How many children are in your household?
A majority of the respondents – 56 percent – said they had no children in their households. Meanwhile, 44 percent of those who answered the survey came up with different numbers.
Exactly 19 percent who answered the survey said they had two children; and the same percentage, 19 percent, said there were two children in their household. Also, six percent said there were three or more children in their household. Hopefully there are enough TV remote controls to go around.
Xoom's Newest Advertising Campaign for the Filipino Market Features Testimonials from Actual Xoom Customers
"Usapang Padala with Xoom.com" latest in Xoom's Award-winning Filipino Advertising Lineup
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 13, 2014 – Xoom Corporation (NASDAQ: XOOM), a leading digital money transfer provider, has launched a new Filipino advertising campaign for the U.S. Filipino market based on testimonials from their Fil-Am customers. Titled "Usapang Padala with Xoom.com," the multimedia campaign features customers who share their personal stories, to illustrate how much they trust Xoom for their money transfers back home.
"It's gratifying to see and hear how Xoom has changed our customers' lives and to showcase endorsements from real customers –not actors –in our latest commercials," said Pia Palpal-latoc Guter, Director of Marketing for the Philippines at Xoom. "As a Filipino who sends money back home to my family, I see myself in their shoes. Our customers depend on us and we need to be reliable, transparent and ready to address any concerns they may have. Plus, staying in touch with our community helps us to continually improve our services."
One customer featured in the television commercials is Rose Alvarez, an ICU nurse who lives in Chicago, Illinois. Due to the odd hours of her shift, she had been withdrawing cash the day before sending the money, and having to physically carry the cash to the Filipino store to send to her parents. One evening, after withdrawing cash from her bank, she went out with friends and a pickpocket stole the cash from her purse. That was the end of the offline cash-and-carry method for Alvarez.
In 2006, Alvarez was introduced to Xoom through television ads and recommendations from other Fil-Am friends who had been using the service. After trying Xoom, she quickly discovered how safe, fast and reliable it was to send money back home to her parents. She has been a loyal Xoom customer ever since. "If I used Xoom, I would not have lost cash. I could've sent the money to my parents instead," said Alvarez.
Alvarez has particularly enjoyed the ease and convenience that Xoom offers. "My hospital shifts change so now I don't have to worry about a remittance center's hours of operation," said Alvarez. "With Xoom, I can send from anywhere, anytime. During winter when it's cold, I also don't need to go outside anymore." She concludes by saying that Xoom is the easiest and most convenient online money transfer service for her, and has provided the ideal solution to her previous challenges in sending funds back home to her parents.
The new commercials can be viewed here:
Xoom's Filipino advertising has won Telly Awards Bronze prizes three years in a row — 2012, 2013 and 2014 — under the Regional TV and Multi-Market Category for TV commercials. The Telly Awards honors the finest film and video productions, groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films, and outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs. For more than 25 years, the Telly has been a symbol of creative excellence.
About Xoom
Xoom is a leading digital money transfer provider that enables consumers to send money to 30 countries in a secure, fast and cost-effective way, using their mobile phone, tablet or computer. During the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Xoom's more than 1.1 million active customers sent approximately $6.3 billion to family and friends. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and can be found online at Xoom.com.
How likely are you to send your next money transfer online?
Sending money back home to friends and family in the Philippines is a unique bonding moment for both parties. The people back home receive something tangible and valuable while the sending party owns a feeling of accomplishment and personal reward for doing something empowering that makes all parties feel warm. That's a powerful combination for everyone.
Xoom is an acknowledged leader in the global money transfer business and has made it very easy for its customers to send money back home, especially online and through its popular new mobile app. Click, and Xoom, the money is there.
Xoom decided to conduct a survey of its Fil-Am customers to find out more about the tendencies of sending money online. Xoom asked the question: How likely are you to send your next money transfer online?
The highest percentage of the respondents, 32 percent, said they were very likely to send their next money transfer online while 29 percent of those who answered the survey question said they were likely to go online to send their next money transfer.
Which describes your TV access at home?
Ah, yes, using the television at home. Fun times. On some sofas and coffee tables, it's a battle over the clicker, a control issue. No one can be surprised that family members sometimes have more than a few competing ideas about what programs they'd like to watch.
But in reality, there's a bigger, more basic issue. In what manner do you receive your favorite TV shows? Or, how do you access your television programs? Xoom decided it was just the time to find out, so one of the global leaders in the money transfer business conducted an exclusive survey of some of its prime Fil-Am clients, asking a question about what method they chose for TV access at home.
As it turns out, cable was the overwhelming answer. Some 36 percent of those who answered the survey said that premium cable is how they accessed their television programs at home. And just slightly fewer, 35 percent of the respondents, said they watched TV by virtue of basic cable.
But there were more answers. Some 18 percent of the respondents said they accessed their TV via satellite while six percent said they used an antenna. No one said they still used rabbit ears.
Which financial services do you use?
There's no question that everyone works hard for their money. How to build up your finances, how to handle them and how you make your money work for you is always a top priority for families.
Of course, there are a number of different options for how you handle your money and through what services. The options are many and they are certainly familiar to each and every one of us.
To find out more, Xoom, a global leader in the money transfer business, took time out recently to conduct an exclusive survey of its Fil-Am clients. Xoom wanted to know more about how you handle your finances, so it asked a simple question: Which financial services do you use?
You could probably answer this one yourself. Perhaps not surprisingly, 79 percent of the respondents in the survey said used a checking account and the next highest percentage, 74 percent, said they used an ATM or debit card.
Credit cards are always popular, which is why 62 percent said that's a financial service they use. What's more, 54 percent of those who responded in the survey said they used a savings account and 51 percent answered that they used online banking.

Exercise is a major stress-buster and mood-lifter, but moms are too busy to hit the gym when the kids are around. If you work outside the home, use your lunch break to fit in a workout or a brisk walk with a colleague. If you're a stay-at-home mom, take your little one out for fresh air in the stroller or baby jogger, or do an exercise video when your tot is napping (tip: check YouTube for some free yoga and workout videos).
One mom says: "You don't have to join a gym or feel like it's another chore. All you have to do is to take a walk. Look at the sky, feel the sun on your face, and smell the grass. It may be tough getting yourself started, but once you do, you won't want to give it up."

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/15/14
Green Bay Packers running back James Starks, wide receiver
Jordy Nelson and linebacker Clay Matthews were among the players missing from
practice yesterday.
Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Starks' knee injury will
keep him out for multiple weeks. It was reported Tuesday that the running back
could potentially be sidelined for the season due to the knee injury he
sustained last weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Starks apparently felt
the knee flare up on Monday and doctors didn't like what they saw after
examining it.
McCarthy said that Nelson and Matthews, who are each
recovering from hamstring injuries, were both making progress, but he wouldn't
offer his expectations on either this weekend. Beyond Starks, Nelson and
Matthews, offensive lineman T.J. Lang and defensive linemen Mike Neal and C.J.
Wilson also didn't practice Wednesday.
Green Bay did offer good news regarding their secondary, as
both safety Charles Woodson and cornerback Sam Shields returned to practice
Wednesday. Both players were limited participants.

Elsevier Launches the Legacy Collection of eBooks on ScienceDirect
ScienceDirect's eBook content will be greatly enhanced with the addition of thousands of digitized foundational book titles across seven key scientific disciplines
Amsterdam, September 19, 2012 – Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical, and medical information products and services, today announces digitizing its Legacy Collection in seven disciplines, expanding its content on ScienceDirect. With the addition of the Legacy Collection to ScienceDirect, highly relevant, scientific books from the mid-20th century to the present will be accessible online as early as December 2012.
"Modern scientific research builds upon what was discovered before," said Suzanne BeDell, Managing Director, Science and Technology Books at Elsevier. "Researchers, faculty, and librarians alike will be able to efficiently access valuable foundational book content that appears in data searches in a digital format."
Librarians at academic, corporate, and government research institutions now have the option to rapidly expand their book collections and researchers can access additional context for existing material, complementing current content across a rich range of sources. Usage patterns for existing deep backlist books on ScienceDirect provide ample evidence that researchers continue to use books published before 2000 in their work.
George A. Olah, 1994 Chemistry Nobel Laureate, Founding Director of the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and contributor to the Legacy Collection remarked, "One book, Chemistry of Energetic Materials, includes contributions from three Nobel Laureates and seven members of the National Academy of Science, It speaks for itself that this is a very active field of fundamental science with far reaching practical importance."
The Legacy Collection content on ScienceDirect provides additional scientific strength in the following subject-based collections:
- Agricultural and Biological Sciences
- Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
- Chemical Engineering
- Chemistry
- Engineering
- Materials Science
- Physics and Astronomy
Title-by-title lists can be found at the following site: http://www.info.sciverse.com/sciencedirect/books/legacy
The Legacy Collection marks a significant expansion of the eBook content available on ScienceDirect, which features more than 15,000 books and 2,500 journals along with more than 11 million articles, a content base that is growing at a rate of almost 0.5 million additions per year, with archives that reach as far back as 1823.

text: 'Jack the Giant Slayer' leads a dismal weekendBy Lindsey Bahr, EW.comUpdated 8:59 AM ET, Wed March 6, 2013"Jack the Giant Slayer" took the lead at the box office, earning $28 million.Story highlights"Jack the Giant Slayer" earned a $28 million opening on 3,525 screensIt's nowhere near what the movie needed to take in on its opening weekend"Identity Thief," meanwhile, is the first $100 million movie of 2013"Jack the Giant Slayer" (CinemaScore: B+) picked up significantly over the weekend, earning a $28 million opening on 3,525 screens. This is better than it was tracking on Friday, likely due to the fact that families waited until the weekend to see the film. Still, it's nowhere near what the movie needed to take in on its opening weekend, and will likely not even come close to making up for its almost $200 million budget. Review: 'Jack the Giant Slayer'To put a little perspective on this March weekend, the same timeframe last year had an animated opening and an R-rated party movie that fared much better than "Jack" and "21 and Over" (in third place): "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" opened at $70.2 million and "Project X" at $21.1 million.As the first $100 million movie of 2013, "Identity Thief" made $9.7 million in its fourth weekend in theaters. Down 31 percent from last weekend, Universal's Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy comedy picked up eight new theaters. If it wasn't obvious that "Identity Thief" was a runaway success, the R-rated movie has already made three times its opening weekend. Paul Feig and company should be anxious to find out if the McCarthy/Sandra Bullock vehicle "The Heat" will boast similar profits when it opens in June.Just WatchedJustin Chon picked prosthetic phallusreplayMore Videos ...Justin Chon picked prosthetic phallus 00:10PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedConan: Justin Chon is catnip to cougarsreplayMore Videos ...Conan: Justin Chon is catnip to cougars 00:10PLAY VIDEOReview: '21 and Over'"21 and Over" (CinemaScore: B) had a $9 million opening weekend in 2,771 locations, with a $3,248 per screen average. Directed by first time directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, Relativity's $13 million party movie should be able to make back its budget, but it is surely disappointing that the film came in at less than half of "Project X's" opening weekend. "Project X" dropped off 47 percent in its second weekend, and, if "21 and Over" follows that trend, it will at least slide past the $13 million mark.Although "The Last Exorcism Part II" (CinemaScore: C-) was tracking pretty similarly to "21 and Over" on Friday, the poorly rated horror film lost a little steam over the weekend, bringing in only $8 million in 2,700 locations, with a $2,974 location average. The first "Last Exorcism" opened in late August 2010 at $20.4 million. Though it only ended up making twice that in its lifetime, with a $1.8 million budget, it's no wonder CBS Films thought that they might be able to repeat Lionsgate's success. So far, "Part II" has made up its $5 million production budget, and surpassed the $3 million that CBS Films spent acquiring it, but considering the poor reviews and similarly bleak CinemaScore, it's very unlikely that it will hit the margins of the first film.Rounding out the top five is Summit Entertainment's "Snitch." Down 41 percent in its second weekend, the $7.7 million weekend brings the Dwayne Johnson action flick to $24.4 million total.1. "Jack the Giant Slayer" -- $28 million2. "Identity Thief"-- $9.7 million3. "21 and Over" -- $9 million4. "The Last Exorcism Part II" -- $8 million5. "Snitch" -- $7.7 millionPark Chan-wook's R-rated thriller "Stoker" also opened in seven theaters for a $158,822 weekend, with a $22,698 location average. This is the first English language film for the South Korean director ("Old Boy"), and was co-produced by Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, and Michael Costigan. The movie stars Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska.See the original story at EW.com.More from showbizAnthony Bourdain previews new CNN showBourdain: I never thought I'd leave NYCDemi Lovato's plan to change the worldPowered by Livefyre

KH Ep I: TRM - Chapter 9: The Girl at a JunkshopIt was not yet mid-afternoon by the time the members of the little company under Java-Rah's command reached Komo Yat and made their way toward the spaceport's center.KH Ep I: TRM - Chapter 9: The Girl at a Junkshop by Mistress-Blackrose47
Komo Yat was large and sprawling and had the look of a gnarled serpent hunkered down in the sand to escape the heat.
The buildings were domed and thick walled and curved to protect against the sun, and the stalls and shops were fronted by awnings and verandas that provided a measure of shade to their vendors.
Streets were broad and packed with beings of every shape and size, most from off world.
Some rode the desert-seasoned horses or camels.
Domesticated giant lizards, massive and horned, and lumbering bulls hauled carts, sleds, and wagons that ran on wheels and mechanical tracks by turn, a mishmash of commerce trafficking between Lovelorn Wastes' smaller ports and the worlds of star systems beyond.
Java-Rah kept a close watch for trouble.
There were creatures whose purpose was always suspect.

5 Cars You Might As Well Buy New Instead of Used
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The U.S. used-car market is facing big supply shortages and unusually high prices these days, so consumers might as well buy certain models new instead of used, since there's little difference in price.
"We're in a bit of a strange situation right now in that there simply isn't a lot of used-car inventory out there," says Eric Lyman of market tracker
Dealers have few used cars to sell because not many people bought or leased new vehicles during the 2008-10 economic meltdown, so there's a dearth of 3- to 5-year-old automobiles entering the resale market right now.
That's resulting in higher-than-normal used-car prices, especially since plenty of Americans are still pinching pennies and opting to buy pre-owned vehicles instead of new ones.
At the same time, today's low interest rates mean automakers can offer customers who can afford new vehicles cheap loans and other enticements. "The incentives that manufacturers are putting on new cars in terms of cut-rate financing or lease deals can actually make new cars more attainable than used ones," Lyman says. Adding to the similarities between some new- and used-car prices, some models haven't undergone major redesigns in several years, so older versions sell for almost as much as 2013s do.Here's a look at five vehicles TrueCar recommends consumers buy new instead of used, as you'll save less than 19% by getting 2010 or 2011 versions. (The typical 2- to 3-year-old car costs around 30% less than its new counterpart.) All savings estimates refer to price differences between the average new car and that of comparable 2- and 3-year-old editions sold between Jan. 1 and May 17 at some 14,000 U.S. dealers that TrueCar tracks.

"Food for Thought" on Friday May 18th – feed your brain…and your stomach
Posted May 17th, 2007 by MIT Libraries
Take a break from all your studying and come grab yourself a snack, compliments of the Hayden (Humanities and Science) Library. Ok, no burgers or pizza…but there will be cookies. Plenty of cookies. And beverages, too. Here are the details:


text: Mitt Romney's humor problemBy John Avlon, CNN ContributorUpdated 11:58 AM ET, Fri December 30, 2011Larry Fine and Moe Howard practice their form of dentistry on Curly Howard in a still from a Three Stooges film.Story highlightsJohn Avlon: Romney and his family say he's funny and loves jokesRomney cited Three Stooges, Keystone Kops, but no jokesters in past 50 yearsAvlon: If Romney is being candid, he missed more than a generation of classic humorOr Romney is taking pains to depict himself in a noncontroversial way, Avlon says"I live for laughter," said Mitt Romney, unconvincingly.But there's no question that highlighting Mitt's alleged inner jokester is a now part of Team Romney's charm offensive, designed to humanize their sometimes robotic candidate.This effort extends beyond the surgical removal of his tie and studied mussing of his hair before debates. On the humor front, there are family testimonials, offered by his devoted wife, Ann, about how Mitt is sometimes her most "naughty" child. Sons are deployed to recount their father's penchant for practical jokes and corny one-liners.But what raised my eyebrows was when Romney offered a list of his favorite funnymen to Wolf Blitzer that featured "Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges ... even the Keystone Kops." John P. AvlonThe Keystone Kops hit their professional peak in the 1920s. Add that to his off-the-cuff comparison of Newt Gingrich's flailing campaign to "Lucy in the chocolate factory," and you get the impression of a man whose cultural references consist solely of black and white slapstick, most of it filmed before he was born.It's not that the Stooges aren't funny. I've got a strange weakness for black and white movies myself, as my wife can patiently attest. Give me "The Thin Man," Preston Sturges, Frank Capra and even Charlie Chaplin -- but nothing after 1950 comes to mind when listing the films that make you laugh? Keep in mind that Mitt Romney was born in 1947, on the first wave of the baby boom. He was nearly 30 when "Saturday Night Live" debuted, with its iconic first cast of John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. He was in a prime position to enjoy "Animal House," "Caddyshack" or "Trading Places." Maybe it's too much to hope that Mitt loved Red Foxx or George Carlin, but how about Bob Newhart at least?Just WatchedChristie to Iowa: Don't disappoint mereplayMore Videos ...Christie to Iowa: Don't disappoint me 01:59PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedWife talked Romney into second runreplayMore Videos ...Wife talked Romney into second run 04:08PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedRomneys discuss their darkest hourreplayMore Videos ...Romneys discuss their darkest hour 04:02PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAnn Romney on coping with MSreplayMore Videos ...Ann Romney on coping with MS 03:10PLAY VIDEOThere seem to be at least two possible explanations.First, Mitt Romney was hermetically sealed from the cultural influences of his generation, emerging intact as an adult with the taste of someone born at least a half-century before. That almost seems possible. After all, Mitt was 20 when "Sgt. Pepper's" was released, and I think it's safe to say he didn't drink deeply from the Summer of Love. In fact, as a devout Mormon, he doesn't drink at all.He is dry, button-down responsibility incarnate, for better or worse.The second explanation is more cynical but at least as plausible.Given the stiff and scripted nature of his campaign to date, it's entirely possible that Mitt filtered his funnyman choices through a political prism, carefully removing all those films that might offend.That, of course, is an insult to the idea of comedy itself: something free-floating, incisive and often designed to offend.Unless ... you pick the films your grandfather might have found funny, relics of a more censorious age. It's the safest move. Any voter who might be offended is already dead.Authenticity is the enemy of the defensive campaign, and those politicians who feel compelled to project a false perfection. The irony is that voters ultimately respond better to candidates who take the risk of honesty. It is itself a revelation in our spin-saturated era.Maybe Mitt Romney is the only baby boomer to have been entirely unaffected by the cultural tumult around him, but that itself would raise legitimate questions about his ability to relate to the nation he wants so badly to lead. The second scenario is worse: that he's a constantly calibrating salesman who can't even talk about laughter without cold calculation. If that's true, this small snapshot reflects a core problem of his presidential campaign: Mitt Romney seems like a genuinely good man, but he does not seem genuine.Follow @CNNOpinion on TwitterMore from opinionAre drugs stifling women?Murky truth about the death penaltyDid Netanyahu make the case?Powered by Livefyre

Good Morning!
I have my third Fathers Day card for you today which is the card I sent to my Dad this year so I couldn't post it before the day in case he spotted it and although you wouldn't be able to use the fathers day sentiment 'til next year, all of the other items can be used any time of year :) My Dad has recently ventured into Bee Keeping so I have some bee themed elements for you today. There are 2 bee cut files and a wooden bee hive cut file too and for those of you without a digital cutting machine I created a digi bee scene for you to colour, I also have 2 matching sentiments. There is a cut file for the pop up slider card base, you can find it in my last post here.
I wanted to give the hive a bit of a realistic feel by swiping some darker brown ink over my hive peaces to give a wood effect and lifted the bottom of each slat with 3d foam pads to add dimension. I mounted my little bees onto strips of acetate then attached to the back of the hive so they appear to flutter in mid air and the iridescent vellum I used for the wings looks really effective when they catch the light.
Here are your cut files – formats include ai, dxf, gsd, pdf, studio & svg:

A corn dog is a hot dog sausage coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter.
Newly arrived German Texan sausage-makers, finding resistance to the sausages they used to make, have been credited with introducing the corn dog to the United States, though the serving stick came later.[1] A US patent filed in 1927, granted in 1929, for a Combined Dipping, Cooking, and Article Holding Apparatus, describes corn dogs, among other fried food impaled on a stick; it reads in part:[2][3]
I have discovered that articles of food such, for instance, as wieners, boiled ham, hard boiled eggs, cheese, sliced peaches, pineapples, bananas and like fruit, and cherries, dates, figs, strawberries, etc., when impaled on sticks and dipped in batter, which includes in its ingredients a self rising flour, and then deep fried in a vegetable oil at a temperature of about 390°F., the resultant food product on a stick for a handle is a clean, wholesome and tasty refreshment.
In 300 Years of Kitchen Collectibles, author Linda Campbell Franklin states that a "Krusty Korn Dog baker" machine appeared in the 1929 Albert Pick-L. Barth wholesale catalog of hotel and restaurant supplies. The 'korn dogs' were baked in a corn batter and resembled ears of corn when cooked.[4]
A number of current corn dog vendors claim responsibility for the invention and/or popularization of the corn dog. Carl and Neil Fletcher lay such a claim, having introduced their "Corny Dogs" at the Texas State Fair sometime between 1938 and 1942.[4] The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941.[4][5] Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks, on June 16, 1946.[6] Also in 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, California.[7]
Corn dogs are often served as street food or as fast food. Some vendors or restaurateurs dip and fry their dogs just before serving.[8] Corn dogs can also be found at almost any supermarket in North America as frozen food that can be heated and served. Some corn dog purveyors sell these premade frozen corn dogs which have been thawed and then fried again or browned in an oven. Premade frozen corn dogs can also be heated in a microwave oven, but the cornbread coating will lack texture.[9][10] Corn dogs may be eaten plain or with a variety of condiments, with mustard being the most popular.
A variation is prepared with either melted cheese between the hot dog and the breading or the hot dog is replaced with a cheese-filled hot dog.[citation needed]
Another version is the "cornbrat" (or "corn brat"), which is a corn dog made with bratwurst instead of a wiener or hot dog.[11][12] They are also sold in varieties of different hot dogs such as pork and turkey.[citation needed]
Small corn dogs, known as "corn puppies," "mini corn dogs," or "corn dog nuggets," are a variation served in some restaurants, generally on the children's menu or at fast food establishments. A serving includes multiple pieces, usually 10.[13] In contrast to their larger counterparts, corn puppies are normally served stickless as finger food.
A breakfast version features a breakfast sausage in place of the hot dog, and pancake batter in place of the cornmeal. This variation is commonly called a "pancake on a stick". It was formerly served by drive-in restaurant Sonic®,[14] but now is made by companies like Jimmy Dean®.[15]
Both vegetarian corn dogs and corn dog nuggets are made as meatless alternatives by many of the same companies that produce vegetarian hot dogs.[16]
In Argentina a panchuker, (also panchuque, pancho chino), is a hot snack that can be bought near some train stations and in some places of heavy pedestrian transit. They are more popular in the inner country cities. Panchukers consist of a sausage covered with a waffle-like pastry, and have a stick in it (like a corn dog) so that it can be easily consumed. Some versions contain cheese, and sauces may be served to accompany them. Some variations may be found in Uruguay and other South American countries. Generally, panchuckers are offered as a low-price fast food and can only be seen at certain provinces of the inner country, like La Plata, Belgrano, Villa Albertina, Cipoletti, and in Buenos Aires they can be found in Barrio Chino. They are particularly popular in the province of Tucumán.[17]
In Australia, a hot dog sausage on a stick, deep fried in batter, is known as a Dagwood Dog, Pluto Pup, or Dippy Dog, depending on region.[18] Variants exist that use wheat-based or corn-based batters.[19] These are not to be confused with the British and Australian battered sav, a saveloy deep fried in a wheat-flour-based batter, as used for fish and chips, which generally does not contain cornmeal.[20] In New Zealand and South Korea, a similar battered sausage on a stick is called a "hot dog", whereas a "frankfurter" sausage in a long bun is referred to as an "American hot dog".[citation needed]
In Japan, a very similar food can be found at many supermarkets and convenience stores as "American Dogs" (katakana:アメリカンドッグ) for their American origin. These American Dogs, however, use a wheat-flour-based batter with no cornmeal at all.[citation needed]
National Corndog Day is a celebration of the corn dog, tater tots, and American beer that occurs on the first Saturday of March of every year.[21]
Corn dogs are a food that we know from fall festivals, carnivals and tailgating. It actually got its start when German immigrants moved into Texas. Some of these new German immigrants were sausage-makers by trade, but had a hard time selling their wares in Texas. So, as a ploy, they took sausages, rolled them in a cornbread batter and fried them. The sticks came later.

The AP Computer Science A course is an introductory course in computer science. Because the design and implementation of computer programs to solve problems involve skills that are fundamental to the study of computer science, a large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs that correctly solve a given problem. These programs should be understandable, adaptable, and, when appropriate, reusable. At the same time, the design and implementation of computer programs is used as a context for introducing other important aspects of computer science, including the development and analysis of algorithms, the development and use of fundamental data structures, the study of standard algorithms and typical applications, and the use of logic and formal methods. Students prepare for the Computer Science AP "A" Exam administered in May by the College Board ©.
One Semester
Grades 9~12
Students focus on the Microsoft Office 2013 Suite with the goal of qualification for taking the Microsoft Office Specialist Exam. Certification distinguishes users of Microsoft Office products as truly knowledgeable—a designation that attracts attention in the competitive job market. A Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification helps validate proficiency in using Microsoft Office 2013 and meets the demand for the most up-to-date skills on the latest Microsoft technologies. Candidates who pass a certification exam show that they can meet globally recognized performance standards.
The American Council on Education (ACE) has recommended college credit for select Microsoft Certifications. Approved certifications are applicable to one to six semester hours of college credit in bachelor's-degree or associate-degree classes on computer applications, information technology, or computer information systems. ACE maintains a network of more than 1,500 cooperating, accredited colleges and universities that agree to consider ACE college-credit recommendations. However, each institution has the discretion to accept credit for ACE recommendations as they see fit.
Contact the institution you attend (or plan to attend) to inquire about its policy.

Practice finances struggle in December
How's your veterinary practice holding up financially? If you're struggling to recover from the recession, you're not alone, according to Tom McFerson, CPA, ABV, partner with veterinary accounting firm Gatto McFerson in Santa Monica, Calif. Here are a few real-life examples that suggest holiday shopping may have taken precedence over veterinary care for many pet owners.
Who: A four-doctor practice in Florida
The damage: Practice owners expect revenue to be down about 15 percent compared to last year.
In their own words: "The Friday after Thanksgiving, our numbers went over a cliff. Appointment books are wide open. The phone barely rings. Very few clients are coming in for the routine stuff."
Who: A three-doctor practice in California
The damage: Practice owners expect a revenue drop of about 12 percent compared to last year.
In their own words: "Our luxury dog and cat boarding will only be about 60 percent full this Christmas and New Year's. Last year, we were close to capacity."
Who: A large emergency center in the Pacific Northwest
The damage: The practice was down about 10 percent midway through December, compared to last year.
In their own words: "We're seeing less volume. I don't know if the pet owners are choosing not to come in, or if the referring veterinarians are seeing the animals first. The ones who do walk in the door are, more often than not, choosing the bandage-on-a-bullet approach."
Who: A large, multi-specialty practice
The damage: After encouraging revenues in October and November, the practice was down about 11 percent in December compared to last year.
In their own words: "They're the same problems most large practices have had all year, only magnified."
Based on these findings, McFerson recommends that practice owners take a defensive approach over the next few months. Here are some suggestions, courtesy of Gatto McFerson.
> Conserve your cash. Try to build your reserves.
> Don't spend unnecessary money, regardless of the "deal" being offered
> If you take accounts receivable, stop. If you can't stop, collect aggressively.
> Keep an eye on staff salaries and benefits.
> Stretch your accounts payables, if possible.
> Have a safety net. Having access to outside funds, such as a credit line, is ideal.
> Pay close attention to your internal controls. Tough times can sometimes lead to desperate acts by normally trustworthy people.

Mabye there should be a message before submitting entries that says "Slow down Camaro Leonard, did you check if this has been previously entered?".
Good idea.
Camaro Leonard? Is that some kind of bizarro Speed Racer from Canada?
i dunno lol
There should also be a link to the rules of what makes a meme.
No, he's just a cool name I made up.
But if I were to put a face to him, he would be this guy.
(Not pictured: his camaro)
I agree with Blubber. Camaro Leonard needs a border check. It would help with a lot of the dupes.

TSC Container Freight Enhances Service And Compliance With Descartes' Rail Visibility And Ocean AMS Solutions
WATERLOO, Ontario, Oct. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that TSC Container Freight, a business unit of The Scoular Company, is enhancing its service using the new rail visibility option of Descartes' IES Web Tracking solution. In addition, TSC Container Freight has expanded its relationship with Descartes by adopting Descartes' cloud-based Ocean AMS (Automated Manifest System) solution.
"Reliable and cost-effective rail transportation is of particular importance in the agricultural sector. The connectivity and new capabilities for reporting on rail shipments provided by Descartes' web tracking tool extend our visibility into shipment status well beyond the port," said Dennis Quimby, Logistics Manager of TSC Container Freight. "Improved visibility into rail shipments is one of the many factors we need to help enhance service and maintain a competitive edge."
Rail Visibility is available as part of Descartes' IES Web Tracking powered by Descartes' Global Logistics Network™ (GLN), the world's largest logistics network enabling leading transportation providers to connect and collaborate with their trading partners. By providing the status of rail shipments at key milestones, the solution helps users improve operational control and customer service. Descartes' Ocean AMS application is part of its Customs & Regulatory Compliance suite. The advanced manifest ruling is a requirement to supply U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with detailed information on all inbound ocean shipments into the United States prior to boarding a vessel.
"Rail visibility is another dimension of multimodal logistics management that is often missing in the marketplace," explains Ken Wood, Senior Vice President of Product Management. "We are pleased to provide this service to customers such as TSC Container Freight, as well as serve as their conduit for Ocean AMS regulatory compliance. The selection of Descartes' Ocean AMS product builds upon our commitment to customers, like TSC Container Freight, who have already seen success with other Descartes solutions."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Every once in a while, I re-evaluate my carry system. By system, I mean equipment, training & mindset.
Every time a shooting gets publicized, I question my means and methods; whether or not they would be up to the task, should I be faced with a similar situation. To base an evaluation on such things is definitely reactionary, and I think that more training would help me be more proactive in developing evaluations rather than wait for some awful scenario to play out.
In my mind, the concealed carry lifestyle is an introspective journey. I am always learning, and therefore adapting. I believe that I've reached the point where my equipment is sufficient, and have decided that it's actually the least important behind training & mindset.
You could argue that training & mindset are intertwined, and I would agree, but there are some who are trying to develop their mindset in the absence of training. So, I tried to separate the ideas in this post for the benefit of people who believe this way.
These thoughts and evaluations are very personal ones. Some people have developed a keen sense of awareness, and some skills, without training. Personally, I am a proponent of professional training, but I don't want to exclude those who believe otherwise. My personal evaluations predominately conclude that more training is necessary.
I have evolved quite a bit in my short concealed carry career. And I suspect that I will keep evolving with social developments, and my own experience.
What type of things provoke a re-evaluation in your carry system?
Are your evaluations put into effect only after a publicized shooting, or similar scenario? Or would you re-evaluate anyway?
Or perhaps, you've already made your introspective journey and have already made up your mind come what may?

The influence of repeated low-dose ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, to which we are exposed in daily life, has not been fully clarified, although the damage caused by exposure to high-dose UVB radiation has been well-studied in recent years. To investigate skin damage caused by repeated low-dose exposure, we evaluated the extent of injury to the Langerhans cells which are known to be involved in the cutaneous immune system. The backs of hairless mice were exposed to the following doses of UVB radiation: 100 mJ/cm2 once, 50 mJ/cm2 twice, 25 mJ/cm2 four times or 10 mJ/cm2 ten times. Skin specimens were taken for histochemical and electron microscopic examination 24 h after the final irradiation. Epidermis exposed to UVB radiation demonstrated a decrease in the number of Langerhans cells which showed less dendricity. The population of these cells in specimens exposed to repeated suberythemal doses was reduced to 40%, whereas exposure to a single high dose of UVB with the same energy resulted in a reduction of only 33%. These results indicate that repeated suberythemal doses injure Langerhans cells more than a single high-dose exposure. Furthermore, Birbeck granules in Langerhans cells of UVB-irradiated epidermis were reduced and tended to show shortening of their rod portion. The present study suggested that repeated challenge with suberythemal UVB radiation, to which we are all exposed in daily life, can cause substantial damage to Langerhans cells.

Promoting democracy can pay regional diplomatic dividends.
Two female Egyptian lawmakers greet each other at a brief session of Parliament, the first since the country's high court ruled the chamber unconstitutional, in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, July 10, 2012.
From the Eastern bloc to East Asia and beyond, the United States has an admirable and long legacy of supporting societies making democratic transitions. Now that it's the Mideast undergoing rapid transformation, our foreign-policy should be equally vigorous.
The Obama administration can provide a major boost to the democratic process in the region by relieving Egypt of $1 billion of its debt, backing a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan and taking other measures to help stabilize the country's struggling economy. U.S. and Egyptian diplomats are negotiating terms of the loan-forgiveness package.
There are private-sector efforts underway as well. Egypt's economic potential has lured a high-profile delegation representing nearly 50 U.S. businesses. That group will leave for Cairo on Saturday.
The administration risked being on the wrong side of history during the heady days of Tahrir Square protests. But it soon smartly signaled that it was time to end Hosni Mubarak's military dictatorship.
Now it's time to strengthen the commitment to Egypt's democratic transition -- even if the legitimately elected new president is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, an entity that Mubarak banned and U.S. diplomats shunned.
It was not the ideal group to emerge in Egypt, but since gaining control the Muslim Brotherhood has shown signs that its history of fiery rhetoric is giving way to the cold, hard realities of governing. There have been significant setbacks to press freedom, and other politically heavy-handed measures are sources of significant concern. But to date, it has acted in a relatively responsible manner.
New President Mohammed Morsi and his legislative supporters realize that unless they begin to revive Egypt's sclerotic economy, protesters may take to the streets once again to demand more change. Next time, those who gain power may not be the relatively rational actors that the Muslim Brotherhood appears to be.
Stabilizing the economy, as well as Morsi's government, is in the best interest of Israel as well. Early, legitimate fears that Egypt may abrogate its peace treaty with Israel have subsided, which is most likely one of the reasons why Israel's ambassador to the United States has encouraged the economic assistance.
While Israel is appropriately concerned about lawlessness in Egypt's Sinai region, its immediate crisis is Iran's potential nuclear-weapons program, which Israel rightly considers an existential threat. Morsi's trip to Tehran last week for a summit caused concern, but he eased fears by bucking his hosts with an unequivocal call for Syrian President Bashar Assad, a key Iranian ally, to cede power. Morsi labeled Assad's government "an oppressive regime that has lost is legitimacy," which could have been words spoken by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or any other of the many world leaders rebuking Assad's murderous reign.
Economically aiding Egypt can pay diplomatic dividends in dealing with Syria and Iran, according to Eric Schwartz, a former diplomat and now the dean of the Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota.
"This demonstration of support for the democratic processes in the Middle East enhances our capacity to pursue other measures in the region in ways that regional actors deem as credible and not reflective of general hostility on the part of the United States in the region," Schwartz said. "Our ability to make these sorts of distinction of support that are consistent with our interest enhance our credibility and our capacity when we have to take tougher measures elsewhere."
Tough times plague the Mideast and North Africa, both in countries with repressive regimes and in those that recently shed them. It is in America's best interest to support democracy in the region -- and moving forward with aid for Egypt's government and citizens is a key next step.
