Home invader(s), rapist, armed robber…!
Inside your home…in your yard…on the street…
You got the drop on him (them) and they acceded to your demands, dropped their weapons
Do you have a PLAN? Coordinated with your family members? Who is going to be where? Who is calling the police?
You are in your pajamas and barefoot. How will you identify yourself to the police when they arrive?
My point is simply this – HAVE A PLAN! For inside your home and yard. Coordinated with family, and perhaps even neighbors/block watch folks.
AND, if you get the drop on an armed robber out on the street, how do you expect to control them while you call the police? Is there a kidnapping and false imprisonment charge in your future?
We're told by the experts to plan what to do if an armed robber goes up to the cashier at the Denny's where we are sitting.
There should be a plan already thought out for the aftermath. EVEN IF NO ROUNDS ARE DISCHARGED.
Being an armed citizen is more of a responsibility than just carrying a gun.
Be prepared.
NC: Some say concealed carry on campus would help curb assaults"Thank goodness," UNC senior Thomas Rees said. "But it's there for protection."Rees keeps a small Smith & Wesson 9 mm pistol and a large Mossberg 88 shotgun in his off-campus apartment in Chapel Hill. On Tuesday afternoon, before bringing his firearms outside, Rees went into a back room and — with a click that accompanies guns being cocked — removed the ammunition from the guns' chambers.Sensible people with concealed carry permits should be able to take their guns on campus, he said."The bad guys would catch on and realize they can't just rape or mug or murder whoever they want," he said. "They'd know a lot of people have firearms, and they're going to fight back."
A North Carolina law passed in 2013 allowing concealed carry permit owners to bring guns on public college campuses — as long as they were stored in closed compartments in locked cars. Nationwide, there has been a push to allow guns more liberally on campuses.
And now there's a new argument; they'll help curb sexual violence.More @ Daily Tarheel
One of my fav blog reads is Not Clauswitz.
He recently shared his experience re: getting the equivalent of a 34 State CCW Permit!
In part:
The 34-State course material was presented in a friendly, instructive and inviting manner. 2-hours was spent on the Utah LE perspective that drives the acceptance of the AZ permit and produces the overall 34-state blanket of reciprocity. Utah being fairly different from California in attitude, acceptance, and emphasis was a welcome eye-opener. But mainly being able to complete the Utah and Arizona CCW fingerprint cards and application forms correctly is absolutely crucial, and after the step-by-step instructions I felt confident in the process.
"Utah being fairly different from California…" Duh. :-)
Of course, with a number of 'Constitutional Carry' States on the list ever increasing, and people who actually read and understand The Second Amendment, the radical libertarian in me wonders at the meaning of such an act.
Sadly, the realist in me understands that many states are NOT yet Constitutional Carry, and others are downright fascistic in their approach to civilians possessing and carrying firearms. (Illinois, New York and Maryland come to mind. Not gonna mention California. I loathe stating the obvious.)
They are not my favorite, but they are close by.
And being near a university, there are many pretty people to watch – some of them college girls! :-)
They are overpriced, and the stores are filled with students and hipsters, but the ones I sometimes visit are clean, well stocked, and the staff is attentive.
As far as that goes.
Now comes the producers of corporate messaging, trying to imbue us with the idea that Starbucks supports inclusion, racial equality, and fairness. Except for White people. They, by the wearing of their very pink skin, are racist.
Almost simultaneously with this message being promoted by handouts and scrawling cryptic racial messages on their overpriced cups came 'news' across the Internet that Starbucks is anti-Semitic! (I wonder if this was planned?)
It seems there are numerous and ubiquitous stores throughout the Middle East in Arab countries, but the six lone stores in Israel have been closed by corporate edict!
It certainly must be because they are anti-Semitic. Right?
A quick Internet search determined that Hebrew doesn't necessarily mean he brews coffee. The Israelis like their tea. And Starbucks, being of a profit-making mind, decided to close the stores as they weren't producing.
As they have been in the Arab (coffee-drinking) nations.
Of course, it was only a year or two ago that Starbucks encouraged legal firearms possession in locales where doing so was legal – then reversed their decision and said it didn't support such action in their stores.
Perhaps they should keep their corporate minds on their coffee and not my politics!?
Of course, I still carry discretely, wherever.
Sometimes, caffeinated.
(FTC – Starbucks gives me nothing! Get your own coffee!)

From Caleb @ Gun Nuts:
Carrying a gun does not make me special. It doesn't make me different, it doesn't make me a sheepdog, and it shouldn't be treated like an occasion. The act of every day concealed carry should be no more interesting or dramatic than the act of buckling your seatbelt, washing your hands during flu season, or changing the batteries in your smoke detectors.
Stop treating CCW like it's special. It's not. You're just carrying the most effective tool available to defend yourself from violence. It's a fire extinguisher. There's nothing special about keeping a fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink. I want owning and carrying a Glock 19 to have the same level of remarkableness as owning a Toyota Camry.
You should really go to the link above and read Caleb's entire editorial.
He is correct, of course. Unless you are military, spec ops, civilian police or private security, you are NOT a sheepdog, superhero or James Bond. You are just a piece of flotsam out there taking some responsibility for your own protection. Good for you (as far as that goes) but your adrenaline and bp shouldn't go up just because you gear up.
Putting on an IWB holster should be no different than picking up your keys or clipping your folding knife in your pocket!
There is no big red S on your chest.
I've posted before about sharing 'the facts of life' with my daughter. Not reproduction (although we did speak of such things) but letting her know I was discretely armed in her presence, and providing a few basic signals for her to keep safe.
Should terrible things happen.
Hand signals and verbal commands. To be acted upon without question.
I.E. We're in a shopping mall, and I observe bad guys attempting to shoot other bad guys. The signals mean find cover immediately, and failing that, hit the deck! Things are getting serious very soon.
This doesn't necessarily mean I've plans on engaging multiple gang members.
Molly didn't know much about my immersion in the gun culture, except not to touch any firearms without permission, and sometimes Dad went shooting, until she was six. Then I shared the 'facts of life' (that I carried whenever possible for all our protection, and it was no one else's business) and devised the signals.
It never occurred to me to consider my tactics when she was younger. A preschooler, a toddler, a baby.
And I think of that mother who was shot to death in the Walmart by her two-year-old!
LIMATUNES opened my eyes!
IF you are an armed mother (or father) involved in the protection of your charges, you should go and read her. She has THREE children of a young age, and considers things I never have.
Armed, with children, of any age is wholly different from just being armed.
Believe it.
It's a problem as fresh as today's headlines.
A Pennsylvania woman with a concealed carry license drives over the New Jersey line with a gun in her car. In a routine traffic stop, she is arrested and charged for violating New Jersey's unconstitutional gun laws. Only a national campaign saves her from a decade in prison.
And that's just the point: In an era where states like New York and California use draconian and labyrinthine gun laws in order to try to outlaw guns by fiat, a legal gun owner shouldn't risk a life behind bars because he or she drives across a state line into a socialist-leaning state.
A Floridian shouldn't live in fear of a move that takes him through New York, or a Virginian, of a trip through Maryland.
So it is good news that, after a campaign that has lasted for over a decade, we are now within striking range of passing reciprocity legislation that is friendly to citizens living in constitutional carry states.
Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) has told Gun Owners of America that he will be introducing this reciprocity bill within the next few weeks. This bill will prohibit states like New York and California from cancelling the Second Amendment rights of Americans from other states.
If you have a concealed carry permit — or if you come from a freedom-loving state that doesn't require one — you can carry anywhere in the country without fear of losing your constitutional rights because of where you are.
With six constitutional carry states — and at least four other states which may pass those laws this year — the Stutzman bill is a particularly important contrast to competing bills which would require states like Vermont to change their pro-gun laws in order to benefit.
Now, we know that some of our members would argue: "Why shouldn't principles of federalism allow states to spit on the Second Amendment if they want to?" We respect this view, but respectfully disagree. Gun grabbers have no problem creating national rules to take away our Second Amendment rights, irrespective of what we do. So it's time they were hoisted on their own petard.
In addition, the Supreme Court (correctly) ruled in McDonald v. Chicago (2010) that the reach of the Second Amendment extends beyond just the federal government and applies to all 50 states.
In this landmark decision, the Court noted (approvingly) that anti-gun Justice Stephen Breyer was "correct that incorporation of the Second Amendment right will to some extent limit the legislative freedom of the States, but this is always true when a Bill of Rights provision is incorporated." (p. 44)
Why are we so optimistic about Stutzman? The answer is that we now have a filibuster-proof majority to pass it in the Senate — if we can get the new GOP leadership to give us the opportunity to offer it as an amendment to a must-pass bill.
ACTION: Contact your Representative. Ask him or her to call Congressman Stutzman and sign up as an original cosponsor to the Stutzman "constitutional carry" friendly reciprocity bill.
Of course, in a perfect World, all freemen would be able to carry whatever they want anywhere, with impunity. Riding their unicorns into the sunset. – Guffaw
"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session." – Mark Twain
Now pending in the Arizona Legislature…
HB 2320 would exempt CCW permit holders from being disarmed when entering "public" (state and local government buildings and property, unless security measures (guards, metal detectors, etc.) are in place to screen every person entering for weapons.
HB 2431 would establish an interstate "compact" that restricts member states from enacting firearms transfer requirements different than existing federal law. Compacts between states supersede individual state law. An example of an interstate compact is the uniform recognition of drivers' licenses. Assuming HB 2431 is enacted in Arizona and at least one other state becomes a party to the compact, a subsequent state law, or even a ballot measure, cannot override it.
With the pending Bloomberg-sponsored effort to establish Gun Owner Registration using Arizona's Initiative/Referendum process, there are non-firearms bills that help insure that the process is proper and lawful.
HB 2407 would require strict compliance to the requirements (signatures, dates, etc.) for getting a measure on the ballot.
SB 1056 focuses on the validity of petition signatures. If the address of the signer on the petition is not the same as on their voter registration, the signature is not valid.
At this early point in the session, none of the bills we are monitoring have been schedule for committee hearings.
I'm not certain I agree that any registration is 'proper and lawful', but different strokes and all that.
h/t Arizona Citizen's Defense League
New Jovian Thunderbolt passes along an allegory on one Constitutional Issue versus another.
That is Voter's Rights versus Gun Rights!
Both Constitutional and of equal status, right? Wrong!
Stop saying that Washington DC now allows conceal carry. People posted that all over. It's May Issue. And like most May Issue states it means "nobody without the juice." It's not allowing CCW.
Saying DC allows conceal carry is like saying a black man in Alabama in 1885 had the right to vote. Look at the 15th Amendment! It says so! Highest law of the land says a black man can vote. But that's not the reality on the ground back then, is it?
No, Gun Crow laws are still in effect in DC, Maryland, New Jersey, New York… others.
How would you feel if Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada, assuming you don't live there, were just ignoring the 19th Amendment and didn't let women vote? Maybe let them pretend they are voting at the polls, but then just not counting those female votes? Would you feel a little less free in North Carolina or Maine, or Wisconsin? Doesn't really impact women near you, so… What's the big diff? Just tell women in California to move someplace better. Right? How does that make you feel? It's not like it's in another country. It's still YOUR country out west, there. If you join the military you are fight for those hypothetical and blatant disenfranchising states, too.
People tell me to move out of THIS state because of the gun banning regime. No, I'll stay here. The state will change. Same with Jersey. Same with DC, and New York…
In fact, YOU should move here.
Mea culpa. I, too, probably jumped on the same bandwagon, extolling the freedom now being exercised in D.C. OOPS. – Guffaw

The concern is that the good guy CCW, or off duty LEO for that matter, taking out the bad guy might be misidentified by responding police and shot. Police shoot one of their own every 18 months around the nation so it is a very plausible event. Contributing factors seem to be as follows –
You are more likely to be mistakenly shot by police in areas where the carry of weapons by citizens is not common. Places like New York or Los Angeles immediately come to mind. The notion seems to be that only cops or criminals have guns. This is not the attitude I see nationwide but it is prevalent enough in those areas to be aware of it.
You are more likely to be shot if the first thing the police see is the gun….specially if it is pointed in their direction. Understand that not all officers are well trained by their agencies and some may over react to the obvious sight of a weapon, not stopping to think of who is holding it or why.More @ Suarez International

Pigmy Friend
This guy goes into a bar and sits down and sits his pigmy friend on the bar who is about foot tall. He orders a drink for him and his friend, when his little friend finnishes he runs down the bar and knocks over all the drinks.
The bartender says: Your buddy knocked over everyones drink, you need to buy everyone another round, so the man agrees, as well as orders himself and his little friend another round. Again after his little friend finnishes he runs down the bar and knocks everyones drinks over again.
The bartender says again: Your buddy knocked over everyones drink, you need to buy everyone another round, and I am going to have to ask you to leave, so the man agrees.
As they are leaving , the bartender pulls the man aside and asks...
Hey buddy, I would let you stay but your friend is causing chaos here, where did you find this guy?
The man replies, well... I was walking on the beach and found a lamp, when I was cleaning it a Genie appeared and granted me 3 wishes. I wished for lots of money, A nice house and a 12 inch prick.... and thats what I got.

Glad to read you had a good session, it is quite a ride for sure. I honestly pity everyone who's too homophobic to give it a try.
I hope they can overcome that and dive on in some day.
Let us know how your next sessions go!

Just thank yourself lucky that you hit it every time or like the newbie has virtually your first time. Their is many of us out here who are still trying to achieve our first super O.
Oh don't get me wrong I do get the tickling and involuntaries. Did used to lay on back with legs apart but that doesn't seem to work anymore so now back on my side. Always get distracted though as my penis is sliding on the bed when on my side.
I need advice big time as I'm really getting jealous of you super O boys

DIY Vinyl Toys, anyone?
Hey folks!
I have a passion for creating characters using the DIY toys from Kidrobot, specifically the Munny doll, and I figured I can't be alone on this forum for having a love for these things. I'm starting this thread NOT to simply show case my own work with these cool little objects, but I want anyone who has played with a Vinyl DIY toy to post here too!
I'll kick it off with my latest toy. This little guy playing in the snow is called Reeny and was painted with acrylics on a red tinted 4' Munny.

"Klank" is one of my personal favs. I have a little story building up around this guy.

Here is how you cover everyone in the country and pay the same or less as what people are paying now. Take all the people 65 years old and under and unless they have some illnesses that are beyond their control, let them pay from their own pocket a big chunk of the proceudres that are very costly even if they are covered by this plan.
In other words, say you had a perfectly healthy heart all your life but at 45 you got a heart attack or you need stents and such. Its your fault you didn't keep your heart healthy so you must pay for the procedures.
Say you got diabetes because you are overweight and out of shape and you got it at age 50. Its your own fault and you must pay for medication and any treatments.
This would get people to think twice and they would take care of their bodies better and prevent themselves from costly diseases.
Say you didn't go to the doctor for 3 years and you need a root canal. You have to pay for some portion of the procedure because it is your fault you let your teeth rot.
Too many people think they can just go to the doctor or the hospital if something happens because they have medical insurance rather than lead a healthy and active lifestyles!

Visual interfaces may facilitate human to computer interaction as well as computer to human communication. In this paper, we introduce Garnet, a novel visual interface for interaction between humans and Digital Libraries. Garnet provides a visual workspace in which the user can structure and organize documents of interest. This structure is then used to organize and filter further documents which may be of interest, such as search results. Spatial hypertexts are introduced as a framework for creating DL interfaces, and Garnet is compared to existing DL and Spatial Hypertext systems.

|PARALLEL SAMPLING DEVICE,PARALLEL SAMPLING METHOD,RECEIVING DEVICE, AND RECEIVING METHOD - A parallel sampling device comprises a memory that stores the values of the sampling function (Sin πt/πt), a low pass filter, sampling means that samples a signal, which has passed through low pass filter, at a sampling period of Ts, and parallel sampling means provided in a stage following the sampling means. The parallel sampling means generates parallel sampled values at an interval of the sampling period Ts/N(N is a natural number equal to or larger than 2) based on sampled values obtained by the sampling means and the values of the sampling function stored in the memory. This configuration allows parallel sampling to be performed easily even if the frequency is high or the sampling period of parallel sampling is narrow.

Not Ready to MoveOn
Once in blue moon an op-ed can open readers' eyes. Wade Zirkle's in today's Washington Post is one such. Congressmen John Murtha and Jim Moran don't come off too well, as in this description of a MoveOn.org backed anti-war town hall meeting that Virginia congressman Moran sponsored and Iraq war critic Murtha spoke at earlier this year:
The tenor of the town meeting was mostly what one might expect, but during the question-and-answer period, a veteran injured in Afghanistan stood up to offer his view. "If I didn't have a herniated disc, I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops," said Mark Seavey, a former Army sergeant who had recently returned from Afghanistan. "I know you keep saying how you have talked to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. The morale of the troops I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back despite the hardships...."
"And, Congressman Moran, 200 of your constituents just arrived back from Afghanistan -- we never got a letter, we never got a visit from you, you didn't come to our homecoming. The only thing we got was a letter from the governor of this state thanking us for our service in Iraq, when we were in Afghanistan. That's reprehensible. I don't know who you two are talking to, but the morale of the troops is very high."
What was the response? Murtha said nothing, while Moran attempted to move on, no pun intended, stating: "That wasn't in the form of a question, it was a statement."
Now who was the dolt Virginia governor who sent that letter? Mark Warner better hope it was his successor...

Listen to The Rock live from anywhere
The Graveyard12am - 5:30am weekdays
Can you guess which Rocker fathered these girls?
Ahead of the Highlanders first Super Rugby final appearance since 1999, the Rumble got captain Ben Smith on the line - and he even sang us a little song.
Every year Bryce says it's the Hurricanes' year, and this year he was right - and he got team skipper Conrad Smith on the phone for his thoughts ahead of Saturday night's big Super Rugby final.
What songs makes the All Black captain emotional? Is he a breast or thigh man? Bryce asks Richie McCaw all the important questions (and very few actually about rugby).
If you weren't an arse man before, this may just do the trick.
That satisfying feeling when your odometer ticks over.
A woman gets hysterical when a huge shark decides to munch on her dive cage.
What a lovely bathroom you've got...
Jono is disappointed that only 2 Bone Thugs are coming to New Zealand and the boys have a laugh about their names.
The Morning Rumble have a yarn with John Campbell about the upcoming All Blacks vs Samoa game and Jen tries to get a job from him.

Good product over all. Great for lovers of the halo series. Beware though it does NOT come with a wall plague even though it is stated in the title that it comes with one. I received mine in the mail and they said it didn't come with one and the title was wrong. Also, mine didn't come with the blades stuck in the cardboard cover, but they looked fine after some inspection
Good product! Very sturdy handle, little bit smaller than it looks in the picture, blades are a bit wobbly, other than that you get exactly what you see!
Very Nice!When I first received the sword, I was dissapointed to find that I had to put together the mount. I ended up putting it off center. But I don't mind because people are too busy admiring the amazing sword! The metal reflects the video game effects well! Because of the two blades, I would recomend using this as a decoration piece. Easily worth the $45!

Gas prices don't seem to be moving at all...and certainly not going down much.
If the cost in La Crosse is around $3.70 a gallon now, and it's still two months until Memorial Day, what prices will we get this summer? The head of La Crosse's visitor bureau, Dave Clements, worries that people might already be deciding not to travel much this summer.

Two Local Spellers Near The Top At WI State Bee
Two students from La Crosse schools finished 'in the money' at the state spelling bee in Madison this weekend.
Akshith Mandepally from Longfellow Middle School placed third out of 48 spellers in the state finals, and Nathan Jarrett of Providence Academy came in sixth. Both boys qualified for the Badger Spelling Bee by finishing high at a regional bee last month in West Salem. Akshith is an eighth-grader, so this was his last year to compete in the bee. However, Nathan is in fifth grade, and has three more chances to go to Madison. The state winner this year, Aisha Khan of Madison, will represent Wisconsin at the national bee in May.

Giovanni Trapattoni is confident his Republic of Ireland side can make it through to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
The Republic ended their Group 8 campaign with a disappointing home draw against Montenegro tonight, having already ensured their participation in next month's play-offs, to end the first stage of the mission unbeaten.
They will face one of the four seeded teams - now confirmed as France, Portugal, Russia and Greece - on 14 and 18 November with a huge prize at stake.
Trapattoni will not attend Monday's draw in Zurich, but he will not be afraid of whatever the outcome is. "This team can play against anyone if they have belief in our performance, our mentality and our plan," he said.
"We can go into the play-offs feeling confident and with belief if we play as we did against Italy on Saturday. We must believe. We have built this team and we can do it."
However, Trapattoni's much-changed side - he left out six of the men who started against Italy - were unable to find a way past Montenegro for the second time in the group.
And there was a major blow when Queens Park Rangers midfielder Martin Rowlands was carried off with a cruciate ligament injury which initial scans suggest is serious.
Trapattoni said: "It's a cruciate ligament injury and the scan looks serious. It's a pity because he has just rejoined the squad."
A key moment in the game came with 66 minutes gone when midfielder Simon Vukcevic skipped past challenges by Sean St Ledger and Richard Dunne and fired left-footed towards goal.
Shay Given, making his 100th appearance for his country, went down instinctively, but before he could make the save the ball had ricocheted off Paul McShane's arm, apparently not in the eye-line of Slovakian referee Vladimir Hrinak.
It was by no means the only chance the visitors had - Given saved Nikola Drincic's deflected long-range effort before the break and captain Branko Boskovic headed wastefully wide - in a game which more often than not lived up to its billing as a dead rubber.
Dunne might have won it for the home side with a 42nd-minute header which came back off the crossbar, but Montenegro goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic was mostly under-employed.
Trapattoni said: "It's not always that you play very well, but we finished unbeaten and that must give us belief."
Opposite number Zoran Filipovic, who guided his side to their first competitive victory as an independent nation against Georgia on Saturday, was left to bemoan referee Hrinak's failure to spot McShane's handball.
He said: "We are a young nation and our luck with referees will change in qualifiers in the future. I do not wish to say anything about the penalty. It was a very hard game for both sides.
"We played in a beautiful stadium with a great atmosphere in front of the best fans in Europe, and the only shame is that there were no goals for them."
Trapattoni and his players will now await their fate in Monday's draw, although the 70-year-old coach is refusing to tempt fate by revealing his preferred choice of opponent. He said: "I believe in bad luck, so I don't want to jinx myself. I just want to win, and I don't care who we meet."

PSP2 spotted in the wild?
Someone has sent in pictures of what appears to be a PSP combined with a handheld phone. Many speculate this to be the rumored PSP2 and could be the surprise Sony Ericsson has been working on.
Sony Ericsson's CEO teased that there would be a big surprise announcement in the coming months. The rumor is that the company is developing a PSP phone with Android 3.0.
Recently, someone sent Engadget some photos of what appears to be a PSP Phone prototype. The pictures look extremely convincing and quite possibly could be the real deal. According to the site the PSP phone hybrid will boast a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor with 512MB ram and 1GB of ROM.
This is significantly more robust than the PSP as the current model boasts 333Mhz processer with 32MB of Ram. It appears that this PSP Phone has a area in the middle for dual touch analog controls.
The LCD screen appears to be fully touchscreen like the iPhone and is sized at 3.7" to 4.1".
The device does not appear to be the long rumored PSP2, but quite possibly another version of the device. The PSP phone does not appear to have a UMD tray. Sony revealed that the company won't be pursuing a digital only route for the next PSP.

White House/Obama email information collection — it's getting weird
I received something peculiar in my email yesterday:
A few things to note:
1. The email informs me that someone left a comment on "bookwormroom.wordpress.com," a blog that has lain dormant for four years.
2. The Author's name is an obvious nom de cyber — Trimegistus.
3. The Author leaves as his email address "[email protected]".
That email address is the interesting part. I am not for a single minute claiming that Trimegistus is a White House employee. However, "[email protected]" is an email address with a history. The Obama administration created that address shortly after moving in, way back in 2009. The "flag" in the email address was not a patriotic reference. Instead, the White House was asking supporters to "flag" information that was "fishy":
The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, [email protected]
The best spin one could put on this bizarre White House request was that, as it pushed for health care reform, the White House was trying to stay ahead of the rumor mill. The worst spin was that the White House was trying to create an enemy's list, a concept with an East German feel to it.
Given the suspicion surrounding the email address, you can understand that I'm a bit perplexed that someone left this specific email address in a message intended directly for me (intended for me because the email address does not show up in the comments; it only reveals itself to the blog proprietor). Is someone hoping that, finding the comment confusing or the email address intriguing, I'll fire off an email of my own asking about it? Who knows? It could just be a prank — a real one, not a Weiner one.
I wouldn't have blogged about this at all, but for the coincidence of reading today that the Obama White House seems to have gotten confused about the purpose of the official White House website, and is using it to collect visitor's email information. You can read more about this blatant information collection tactic — which might also violate campaign laws — at Doug Ross' site and at Publius' Forum.
Keep in mind that the White House website is a publicly funded site, so you're paying to assist the Obamas as they build a database. Just be grateful, that (presumably) you're not being put on the enemy's list.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Memo to Mike Moustakas: Call your uncle, dude. Like the rest of us, he's getting worried about you. "The new coaches that came in, they're allowing him to buckle over. His feet are wrong. And it's driving me nuts that they're allowing him to do that," former Major League hitting instructor Tom Robson tells FOX Sports Kansas City when asked about his nephew, who was hitting .187 before Thursday night's tilt in St. Louis. "I love to get a hold of him again, but he hasn't gotten over here. He's a gifted kid, but he's doing a lot of things that just don't work. Eric (Hosmer), too. They're both doing things that aren't right. It's a shame." Fans have some other, less family-friendly words for it, but you get the gist. Whether it's Robson watching the feed from his home in Arizona, or a Royals lifer watching from the couch, slugging percentages are down, and blood pressures are up. Way, way up. Since the 2012 All-Star Break, the 24-year-old Moustakas is hitting ....

Selma City School Board nearly finalizedPublished 1:38am Wednesday, August 29, 2012
While one race remains in limbo, the make-up of the next Selma City School Board was all but finalized Tuesday as races for school board president, district 2 and district 3 all came to a close. Only district 1 remains unresolved as it now heads to a runoff.
Dr. Kirit Chapatwala and Cynthia Harris received the most votes in the race for district 1 and now must wait six weeks for that race to be ultimately decided.
Henry Hicks Sr., the incumbent board president, said after he won Tuesday that he felt great about the entire campaign. Hicks beat opponent Holland Powell by over 2,000 votes and Kimesha Alvarado by almost 3,000 votes.
"I told the truth and I try to be as genuine as I can. I don't try to sugar coat anything," Hicks said of why he thought the community responded successfully to his campaign. "I have a genuine love for the children and I think people can look at me and know its not for me — its for the kids."
Hicks said he was tired and exhausted from campaigning but said he is ready to get to work on unifying the school board.
"I would like to work on getting more parents to the school board meetings and having more meetings that involve our parents," Hicks said. "And give parents an opportunity to come to the board and have a dialogue, and everyone respect one another."
Alvarado offered both her congratulations and support to Hicks following the election.
"Congratulations to Mr. Hicks and I'm going to support whoever wins, and I hope in these next four years of his administration that there will be a more unifying manner throughout our city," Alvarado said, adding she might be back at the next election to run again, though this is her third campaign.
"I'm a social activist in the community and I just like to make sure people know the issues in each race and I think that I did my job," she said. "I will be here — in what capacity I don't know — but I'm one of those people that believes that everyone should run for office at least once in their life."
District 1 will see a run off in six weeks after Chapatwala collected 848 votes and Cynthia Harris received 697 votes.
Chapatwala teared up when results were announced, saying only that, "people in Selma have faith in me and I have faith in God." Chapatwala said he went door-to-door in his campaign.
His opponent Harris said she did the same.
"My supporters will be back out there in the streets we will be back knocking on your doors again and trying to get your support once again," Harris said about preparing for the run off. She said campaigning was an easy task for her because of her motive behind it.
"Its just for the kids — knowing that this system needs people who really care about the kids made it that much easier to get out there and campaign," Harris said. "I have a second chance to go ahead and win it outright and I'm still going to be out there pushing for the kids."
In District 2 Brenda Randolph-Obomanu won over Velma Brewer by an 8 percent margin with 906 votes and District 3 Frank Chestnut earned victory over his opponent, Phyllis Moore Houser, by 200 votes.
"I tried to stay positive in all of this and I tried to make sure that I didn't get down in the weeds and down in the dirt, and I just thought about how god put me in a position of leadership," Chestnut said about seeing a victory despite being handed a guilty charge in a harassment case earlier in August. He said his goal on the board is to unify and not divide and he thinks the community elected him again because of his hard work.
"Voters saw how I worked hard to save Byrd School and save all of the community schools because they don't need to be closed," Chestnut said. "And they saw how I worked as a conservative to make sure that the money was there to build Selma High School."

Starting over and loving my life!
I am hoping to fall in love again someday....not sure when that will be so I am staying busy with my work, and certainly in no hurry! Because the next time around, I want someone honest, and when he says I am his world, that he really means it this time. I have to confess, Cinderella is my favorite story! ;-) I have a daughter that is 30, married, with a beautiful 3 year old son and about to have a daughter in one week, and I have a son that is a senior at A&M and is married. Born and raised in the south, and not ashamed of that! But have lived in Houston for 33 years now. I have a great job, I am an executive administrative assistant and it challenges me everyday, I love what I do. I stay pretty busy, I love music and concerts, I love to cook, especially for my kids. Thursday nights are fun to grab a glass of wine at Vintage Park or the Tasting Room, or love catching a movie at Silverado 19. I try not to work too much as it gets close to the weekend! I work very hard, but love my free time on the weekends. I would like to travel more, just not alone... I want to feel that feeling again of being loved and cherished, I miss being held, someone to wipe away the tears if I need it. I miss getting to spoil my man and treat him like a king and look forward to the opportunity to fall in love again! I have been divorced since 06, and have learned some great lessons on life and dating over the past few years! I wish you all the best! ~ S
