Richard Jacobsen: I have paid dearly for Social Security
Richard Jacobsen, Redding
I have paid dearly for Social Security
All during my work career, my companies gave me annual reports showing me how much 401(k) and Social Security I had amassed through payroll deduction. The report would then calculate the amount of retirement I could expect to receive at age 65 plus two months, based on the rate I was contributing to both programs.
By my retirement in 2003, I had contributed over $180,000 to Social Security alone. Since then I have been a self-employed consultant and have contributed over $15,000 per year (employer plus employee portions) to Social Security. Over eight years that amounts to $120,000. Therefore, during my working life to date I have contributed over $300,000 to Social Security. Social Security pays me approximately $2,400 per month from which they deduct income tax and Medicare part B and D.
Had I been able to purchase an 9 percent variable annuity with the $300,000 I would be receiving a payment of $2,250 monthly and been able to bequeath the $300,000 to my heirs.
I am entitled to Social Security and Medicare because I personally paid for them from my own pocket through hard work and diligence. Social Security and Medicare are not freebees.
I, along with everyone else in my position, get really incensed when Social Security and Medicare are referred to, by people who have no idea what they are talking about, as "entitlements" as if they were handouts.

2012 US Presidential election votes will be counted in Spain!
2012 US Presidential election votes will be counted in Spain! Electronic voting machines, used in US elections, have repeatedly been shown by experts to be prone to fraud. "When the Spanish online voting company SCYTL bought the largest vote processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa based corporation purchased by SCYTL in January, supplies the election software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26 states 900 total jurisdictions across the nation." 1 The fact that the same company will have first count on all votes made in 14 US states and hundreds of jurisdictions in 12 others, and the stage is set for election fraud on a scale unimaginable just a decade ago. SCYTL self-proclaimed the security of its systems, but when the machines were used in the District of Columbia, the University of Michigan fight song "The Victors" was suddenly heard after the casting of each ballot. The system had been hacked by U of M computer teachers and students, in order to demonstrate their susceptibilities. 2 Over the past decade, reports from MIT, Caltech, and Carnegie-Melon have repeatedly documented that voting machines, used in the US, are susceptible to fraud. 3-5 Civil right organizations, have likewise objected to the electronic voting machines used in the US. 6-7 LINKS: 112-04-15 2012 Presidential Election Votes Will Be Counted in Spain http://www.scribd.com/doc/89464081/ 2 Internet Voting Arrives . . .

"Barely 10 minutes into Catalyst Theatre's Nevermore...you know you're in the presence of genius."
|Jonathan Christenson - Artistic Director
Bretta Gerecke - Resident Designer
Eva Cairns - Managing Producer
|p: 780-431-1750
f: 780-433-3060
Delightfully dark, heartbreakingly comic, playfully perverse, beautiful and grotesque, Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is a whimsical and chilling musical fairytale for adults. The line between fact and fiction in this tale is slim, dreams function as reality - and just like in Poe's work life and death are blurry. Bizarrely beautiful and wonderfully witty, Nevermore uses haunting song, poetic storytelling and surreal imagery to explore the events that shaped Poe's career and ignited his lifelong battle with "visions dark and sinister."
"Barely 10 minutes into Catalyst Theatre's Nevermore...you know you're in the presence of genius."
"Stories of death, cruelty, and betrayal fill Jonathan Christenson's consistently engaging Nevermore."
"Occasionally funny, sometimes downright scary, and often breathtaking, the production is relentless... Laura Krewski's choreography is wonderful... The eerie atmospheric lighting effects are perfect. Bretta Gedreck's gothic cartoonish costumes are some of the best I have ever seen in a show."
"The cast of seven is of the highest regard... The only true tragedy for this ingenious, outrageous production, however, is that it's only playing in New York until November 7. See it if you can!"
"...Catalyst Theatre takes on the material with a decidedly gothic bent and makes a dark fairy tale that resonates with young people... They actors are deft at handling the outsize characters making them both human and cartoonish."
"NEVERMORE is smart, fun, engaging theater for young audiences. It goes to show that you don't have to pander when presenting work to young people – that you can make work that is both entertaining and educational, with extraordinary stagecraft and high standards, and still reach audiences in this always-on, twitter-ified entertainment multiverse."
"It's haunting, morbid and entirely compelling... The writing is accomplished. Christenson has protected his audience with style... The acting is excellent and seamless, transitioning as it does from music to speech..."
"The play is a visual feast... You will probably never see anything like this again. It's extraordinary."
"Nevermore brilliantly incorporates myth and high (and mostly low) lights of this life, blending them with surreal nightmarish imagery... While Halloween is a perfect time to see The Catalyst Theatre's marvelous original production of Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe, it should be welcome any time of year."
"This production will stay with you long after this creepy holiday weekend has passed... The beauty is the telling of the story: the minimal set, the gorgeous costumes, the exquisite acting and singing by the extraordinarily talented cast."

Do you need a wheelbarrow to bring your junk mail in from your mailbox, or at least it seems that way? Here are some ways to reduce or stop it.
Do you need a wheelbarrow to bring your junk mail in from your mailbox, or at least it seems that way? Do you spend time sorting useless mail from important correspondence? Do you want to cut the number of catalogs, requests for money, political ads, sweepstakes announcements and so-called surveys you receive? Some of our readers do. Several have asked Hot Line how they can reduce or eliminate their junk mail. Here are some ideas:
From the U.S. Postal Service: Get the envelope the junk mail came in. Black out the bar code and address on junk mail that is delivered if it has first class postage. Put a circle around the postage and write "Not accepted: return to sender." This can be put in any mailbox, and it will be returned to the business that sent it. This information is on the Postal Service's Website so it should be correct. Remember, it works only if the mail came with first class postage.
There are two well known organizations that keep lists of people who don't want to receive this type of mail. Visit www.directmail.com, the Direct Mail Association, and follow the instructions to be removed from the mailing lists of many companies.
The other, the Direct Marketing Association, is one of the largest mail marketing organizations in the country. To be put on its "do not mail" list, visit www.DMAchoice.org and fill out the registration form. To do it by mail, send a check or money order for $1 to P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512. Hot Line telephoned the company's customer service line at its New York headquarters and listened to a recording twice that gave the above instructions. There was no information about who should be the payee on the check or money order. We are guessing that "DMA Choice" or "Direct Marketing Association" would be a safe payee. The $1 will buy you five years of reduced marketing mail, and then you'll have to do it again.
A reader told Hot Line that the DMA's address and telephone number are hard to find. She said it would be helpful if Hot Line could publish that information. We found the DMA's locations in New York and Washington, D.C. In New York the address is: 1120 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036-6700, telephone consumer information, (Manage Your Mail), 212-768-7277, ext. 1888, or email email@example.com; and in Washington the address and contact information is: 1615 L St. NW, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20036, telephone 202-955-5030.
If you want to be removed from the mailing lists of the two largest sweepstakes mailers in the country, contact Publishers Clearinghouse at 800-645-9242, or write Consumer/Privacy Affairs, Publishers Clearinghouse, 382 Channel Dr., Port Washington, NY 11050, or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. The other major sweepstakes mailer is Readers Digest Sweepstakes, P.O. Box 50005, Prescott, AZ 86301-5005, phone 800-310-6261.

10 Things to Know Before You Plan a Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in 2001 in St. Pete Beach, Florida. We were young. It was sunset. On a white sand beach. It was the dreamiest. The photos are amazing. My friends who went still talk about the tiki bar after parties. But, my friends, it was a wedding, and things invariably go whack-funky at weddings. Here's what you need to know before you plan a destination wedding.
Attendance Is Inversely Related to Distance
And I'm talking about where YOU live, not where your guests live. For some reason, people who would not think twice about shelling out for a plane ticket and hotel to see you get married in your hometown where they don't live may not come because you're getting married somewhere no one you know lives. It's like the principle of the thing -- if you're traveling, too, then it's more of a choice for them. No, I don't know why. But listen -- you have to be able to say, AND MEAN IT, with love: "I know it's not a traditional location. I will not be upset if you can't make it, but I wanted you to know you were invited. Which is a nice way of saying, "If you're going to bitch, don't come."

You've watched the gripping promo trailer (you know, the one filled with terms of endearment and montages of a wild-tressed Elena spiraling out of control). You've seen the mysterious photos. Now get ready to delve into what appears to be the longest, most detailed synopsis in the show's history! That's right. The official description for The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 16 is finally here and, holy freaking Salvatore, it's teeming with juicy spoilers.
What's going to happen? Deep breaths, folks, because things are about to get intense: Stefan's in danger! Elena is forced to face the consequences of Katherine's actions! Damon is overcome with guilt about his killing spree! Bonnie is missing! Caroline and Enzo share lots of screen-time! A new guy with a sketchy agenda pops up out of nowhere and invites Elena to get crunk with him! Best of all, "spring break forever, b*tches"! (We apologize for all those nonsensical, exclamatory sentences. We can't help ourselves. #Panicking.) For more details about TVD episode 5×16, check out the CW's description for "While You Were Sleeping" below.
When Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to explain recent events to a very sick Elena (Nina Dobrev), her first instinct is to call Damon (Ian Somerhalder). At the same time, Damon is trying to figure out how to make a disturbing confession to Elena. While going through Dr. Wes' files, Caroline (Candice Accola) discovers a frightening secret, and is surprised when Enzo (guest star Michael Malarkey) appears, claiming to have the solution everyone is searching for. At Enzo's insistence, Caroline asks Stefan to meet her at a mysterious location where they are joined by a group of Travelers, including Sloan (guest star Caitlin McHugh), who reveals new information on the importance of doppelgangers. During spring break on a mostly deserted Whitmore campus, Elena runs into Luke (guest star Chris Brochu), a student who seems to know her, though she has no memory of meeting him. Recently dumped by his boyfriend, Luke proposes that he and Elena spend the break getting drunk together, but she sends him off on an urgent mission to find Bonnie (Kat Graham) and the "newbie" witch, Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell). Damon finally tells Elena the truth about his recent activities, and they come to a new agreement about their relationship. Pascal Verschooris directed the episode written by Caroline Dries (#516).
Remember when the Travelers got their hands on a bucketful of Elena and Stefan's blood in "500 Years of Solitude"? Do you think that moment will come back to haunt them now? And, maybe it's just us, but we have a feeling Damon's secret is the fact that he attacked Aaron Whitmore the same way we do a piece of chocolate cake when coming off a diet. Do you think Elena will be able to forgive him? (According to what executive producer Caroline Dries told us, "the answer will surprise you.") Sound off in the comments!
Mark your calendars, gentle viewers: The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 16 airs Thursday March 20th at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW!

Here's everything you need to know about Tuesday's slate of college basketball games …
(NOTE: We will file a Night Court each night this season. Follow @GaryParrishCBS, @GoodmanCBS, @MattNorlander, @JeffBorzello and @EyeOnCBB on Twitter to make sure it gets sent to you as soon as it's posted.)
Game of the day: Kentucky was a fun watch, but the night's best game was certainly Florida at Ohio State, which ended with an 81-74 win for the Buckeyes. Both teams looked nice. They played well and appeared in mid-season form. But OSU's just so good right now. No shame in the Gators falling the way they did; I'd love to see that rematch in the Sweet 16 or beyond come March. Jared Sullinger and Patric Young going against each other was the highlight of the 24-hour marathon for me.
Win to brag about: A man won his record-setting 903rd game Tuesday night. There is no more appropriate candidate for this category, ever, than that.
Loss to hide from: It was a road game, but still, Iowa State falling 74-65 to Drake doesn't mean good things for a Fred Hoiberg team that's trying to win with duct tape and specialty gadgets. Whatever ISU's trying to do, it backfired Tuesday night.
Player who deserves improper benefits: Let's just have a cop-out here and pick everyone on Kentucky's frontcourt. It's like going up against a bunch of helicopter blades when you play the Wildcats. Kansas was obviously outmatched going into that game -- but there were times when the Jayhawks looked like ignorant robbers running into a tripped bank job. They'd scurry into the paint and scurry right back out.
Player who does not deserve improper benefits: Parrish may give me grief for this, but for as good as Memphis looked, his boy, Tarik Black, only played 13 minutes and scored six points in the Tigers' swift win over Belmont. Black is believed to have potential that makes him the team's best player. Didn't see any of that Tuesday.
Numbers don't lie:
- 37. That's what Butler shot from the field, yet still won over Chattanooga, 57-46. It's going to win a lot of games like that this season.
- 18. Michigan State's Draymond Green is the team's best player, and he's already showing his value, snaring an average of 18 boards through two games against two really good teams in UNC and Duke.
- 59. That's what Memphis shot from the field Tuesday against Belmont. Tigers surprised me and a lot of people with how well they played. It was so good, I feel bad for thinking they'll never have a game as complete as that again against an opponent as good as Belmont.
Three other notable results
- Darrin Horn may not hold on to his job at the end of the year if the administration looks back and sees losses similar to the 58-53 one that happened tonight against Elon. Yep, Elon.
- Pepperdine 66, Arizona State 60. Sun Devils are a bad team, no doubt, but are we going to do this miserable Pac-12 spectacle again this early in the season?
- Weber State 73, Utah State 63. Utah State's rebuilding this year, but they did defeat BYU over the weekend at home. No luck on the road against Weber State, which only need 12 points out if its best player, Damian Lillard. Scott Bamforth led the Wildcats with 17.
- We're really piling on here with the bad losses -- all of these are losses to hide from -- but Trent Johnson and LSU have to get served as well. The Bayou Bengals fell 71-63 to Coastal freaking Carolina.
- You likely missed it, but Villanova could have very easily lost to La Salle at home. The Wildcats got the game to overtime and won, 76-69.
- Texas took out URI at home, 100-90, but ... I dunno. The Longhorns looked off. About as off as a team can look when it puts up a Benjamin. I don't know what to expect from that team this year. I do know it's not elite, and the defense is nothing like what it was last year.
- Vanderbilt didn't have John Jenkins due to a bad ankle, but beat Bucknell at home, 80-68.
- I don't care how bad you are: you cannot score less than 40 points in a game if you are a Division I college basketball team. Yet Monmouth couldn't crack deuce tonight against George Mason, falling 71-39.
On tap: Long Beach State plays at Pittsburgh (9 ET, ESPNU); my man Nate Wolters and South Dakota State travel down to Georgia; Indiana has a tricky one on the road at Evansville, which beat Butler last week.

From the Lower Manhattan
Cultural Council
Edited by The Dance Insider
NEW YORK -- The Downtown
Alliance and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) announced the
launch of a Cultural Capital Grant Program, funded by $5 million
from the September 11th Fund, which will provide challenge grants
of up to $225,000 and technical assistance to cultural institutions
engaged in the performing arts and public programming interested
in putting down roots in Lower Manhattan. These grants are part
of a dedicated and continuing effort to transform Lower Manhattan
into a destination for arts and culture.
"The arts are a crucial
economic development driver in any neighborhood and they are important
for workers, businesses, and residents," said Carl Weisbrod, president
of the Downtown Alliance. "This grant program addresses the need
for a vital and growing arts sector throughout Lower Manhattan and
provides immediate momentum at a time when other cultural initiatives
are necessarily focusing on the long-term."
Capital grants of up
to $225,000 are being offered to assist small- to medium-sized performing
arts institutions in the upgrade, renovation, and creation of performance
spaces below Murray Street. These grants will be awarded on a contingent
basis, requiring a 2:1 cash match before funds are released. Pre-development
grants of up to $50,000 will also be available for institutions
in the early evaluation stage of relocation below Murray Street.
Pre-development funds may be used for site identification, feasibility
studies, and preliminary design work.
"Lower Manhattan is
poised at a moment of opportunity, with major redevelopments and
residential expansions taking place," said Tom Healy, president
of the LMCC. "Through this major new grant program, arts and cultural
groups will be provided with critical funding to become a permanent
part of the fabric of downtown."
Grant participants will
also be offered the opportunity and encouraged to participate in
a complimentary technical assistance program to further assist them
in facilities project management and capital fundraising.
To be eligible for a
grant, an organization must be engaged in performing arts or other
public cultural programming efforts. Organizations must have been
in existence for at least three years and must be in the process
of evaluating relocation or in the planning phases of relocation
to or within Lower Manhattan.
Letters of Interest
(LOI) for initial review must be received by 5 p.m. Monday, January
24, 2005. For grant guidelines and LOI procedure, please contact
Sigrid Peterson of the Alliance for Downtown New York at 212-835-2753.
Information on the program can also be found on the web sites of
the Downtown Alliance and the LMCC .

4. I received my original Concealed Pistol License after July 1, 2001 and have since moved to another county. Do I need to reapply in the new county?
No. The Concealed Pistol License is a state license and a change of county residency does not change the status. However, when your license expires, the renewal of that license should occur in your new county of residence.
5. How old do I have to be in order to apply for a concealed pistol permit?
MCL 28.421 Twenty-one (21) years of age.
Top of Page

Please See: Encounters with Police.
2. Are there any places where I may not carry a concealed pistol?
MCL 28.425o Anyone licensed to carry a concealed pistol from Michigan or another state shall not carry a concealed pistol in any of the pistol free zones. For a complete list, please see: Pistol Free Areas . Under Federal law, firearms are also restricted in federal facilities.

This includes facilities such as post offices and federal courts.
3. When may a concealed pistol be seized?
MCL 28.425g . A pistol carried in violation of this act is subject to seizure and forfeiture in the same manner that property is subject to seizure and forfeiture under sections 4701 to 4709 of the revised judicature act of 961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.4701 to 600.4709 .

Top of Page
Concealed Weapons (Non-CPL Holders)
1. If I do not have a CPL permit, may I transport my pistol in a motor vehicle?
MCL 750.231a A person is permitted to transport a pistol for a lawful purpose if the owner or occupant of the vehicle is the registered owner of the firearm and the pistol is unloaded, in a closed case designed for the storage of firearms, and in the trunk of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, the pistol may be in the passenger compartment of the vehicle provided the pistol is unloaded, in a closed case designed for the storage of firearms, and inaccessible to the occupants of the vehicle.
2. I work as a security guard. Does my profession entitle me to carry a concealed pistol without a license in Michigan as required by my employer?
MCL 750.227 No. You can only carry a pistol while on duty on the premises of your employer and only if it is exposed.
If you wish to carry a pistol concealed, you must obtain a concealed pistol license through the county gun board.
28.425n(2)b This does not prohibit an employer from prohibiting the carrying of the concealed pistol by an employee while in the course of his or her employment with that employer.
3. Do I need a concealed pistol permit to carry my pistols while walking through the woods near my cabin in Michigan? If not, are there any restrictions on how or where the gun is carried?
MCL 750.227 allows you to carry a concealed pistol if you are in your home, place of business, or on other land possessed by you. If you do not possess the land, you may lawfully carry the pistol as long as you carry it non-concealed. Michigan appellate courts have held complete invisibility is not required for the weapon to be considered concealed. The weapon is concealed if it is not observed by those casually observing the person as people do in the ordinary and usual associations of life. Attorney General's opinion #3158 dated February 14, 1945, states a pistol carried in a holster or belt outside of the clothing in plain view is not considered concealed, but carrying under a coat would constitute concealed.
Additionally, the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act prohibits against carrying or transporting a firearm in areas frequented by wild animals and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has rules and regulations regarding where firearms are prohibited on certain land. Contact the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with any questions you may have regarding these laws, rules, and regulations.

MCL 28.422 A local police or sheriff may charge up to $1.00 for the cost of providing, to the owner, a copy of information that was entered in the pistol entry database.
Pistol Sales Record: MCL 28.422a A local police or sheriff may charge up to $1.00 for the cost of providing, to the owner, a copy of information that was entered in the pistol entry database.

Fingerprinting at the county sheriff's office is included in this cost. If you choose to be fingerprinted by a local police agency, that agency may charge an additional fee up to $15 for fingerprinting costs.
2. I have a replica of an antique pistol. Is a License to Purchase or Pistol Sales Record required in Michigan? Is it necessary that I obtain a Michigan Concealed Pistols License?
MCL 28.422 No, antique pistols made before 1898 and replicas of antiques that use black powder, matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap or similar type of ignition system do not require a License to Purchase. The pistol is still subject to all concealed pistol licensing laws.
3. How old do I have to be in order to legally own a pistol in Michigan?
MCL 28.422 Eighteen (18) years of age. However, Federal law prohibits a federally licensed firearms dealer from selling a pistol to anyone under the age of twenty-one (21).
4. I lost my Michigan pistol registration (Safety Inspection Certificate). How do I go about getting another one?
The Safety Inspection requirement in the law, previously MCL 28.429 has been repealed. As long as the gun was previously registered in your name and is on file with the Michigan State Police, you are not required to complete any additional paperwork. It is not a requirement that you carry your Safety Inspection Certificate or License to Purchase on you when carrying, using or transporting the gun, once 30 days from the date of purchase has expired. There are no Safety Inspection Certificate forms available to issue you a new one. You may contact your local law enforcement agency and request a copy of the information entered in the pistol entry database relative to your registration/license. They may charge up to $1.00. Or, you may make a request through the Michigan State Police, Freedom of Information Unit, P.O. Box 30634, Lansing, Michigan 48909-0634, for a copy of your registration.
5. My uncle had a .357 magnum revolver registered in his name when he died. My brother has had custody of the gun but now wants to give it to me. What procedure do I follow to gain legal possession of this gun in Michigan, since my uncle obviously cannot sign it over to me?
MCL 28.422 Michigan statutes provide for the personal representative of the estate or next of kin having authority to dispose of the pistol to sign the License to Purchase as the seller.
6. I am giving my registered pistols to my son who lives in another state. How do I get the pistols out of my name?
There are no provisions in the statute; however, send a letter to the Michigan State Police, Firearms Records Unit, P.O. Box 30634, Lansing, Michigan 48909-0634, advising of the transaction. The letter must include a description of the pistols, your son's name and address, and the date of transaction in order for the Firearms Records Unit to update their records. Your son must comply with the weapons laws of his own state. There are federal restrictions regarding transfer of ownership across state lines.
7. I have just moved to Michigan from another state. How much time do I have to register my pistols?
MCL 28.422 Upon establishing legal residency, you should immediately contact your local law enforcement agency, pass the basic safety questionnaire, and complete a License to Purchase.
8. I found a pistol in an old house that I was fixing up. Can I get it registered in my name?
You should take it to your local police agency and they can check on the history of the pistol. They will, of course, check to make sure it is not stolen, and also for any previous registered owner. If there was a previous owner, the agency is required to send a letter to that person to determine whether they have any interest or legal claim to the pistol. If the previous owner does not respond within 6 months, has no interest in the pistol, or is not eligible to possess a pistol, the department may release it to you, providing you comply with MCL 28.422 or MCL 28.422a in obtaining a License to Purchase or Pistol Sales Record. If the owner responds, the property shall be returned to the legal owner when the law enforcement agency is reasonably satisfied of that ownership.
9. I inherited a pistol from my uncle. Do I just take it in to my local police agency to get a License to Purchase?
MCL 28.422 Unless you have a valid Concealed Pistol License issued after July 1, 2001, you must obtain a License to Purchase first. When the owner of a pistol is deceased, the statutes provide that the next of kin or personal representative of the estate has the authority to sign as seller. If you are the next of kin or personal representative, you may sign as seller indicating "Estate of …" and also as purchaser.
Firearms Rights - Persons convicted of crimes or subject to a PPO
1. I was arrested for making threats with a gun against my wife. As part of my probation the judge ordered the gun turned over to the state police. Can it be returned to me, and, if so, when can I claim it?
MCL 28.434 and MCL 750.239 The statute requires weapons carried, possessed or used contrary to the Concealed Weapons Act and the Firearms Section of the penal code to be forfeited to the Director of the Department of State Police. Prior to disposition, the forfeited weapons are retained for a reasonable length of time pending any possible appeal or litigation. There are no provisions in the act for any other disposition.
2. Is it possible to have my felony record from 20 years ago cleared so I can purchase a firearm?
MCL 780.621 Allows a person to apply to have their felony conviction set-aside if it is their only conviction. If/when the set-aside is granted, you would be eligible to purchase or possess a firearm.
MCL 750.224f If the felony conviction was "non-specified", you would be eligible to possess a firearm eight years after the date of conviction or confinement and 3 years after release from probation or parole, whichever is the later date, if that date is before July 1, 2001. If the date is after July 1, 2001, only a set-aside, expungement, or pardon would allow you to possess a firearm.
If the felony conviction was "specified", you must either have been granted a restoration of your firearms rights by your local county gun board prior to July 1, 2001, or have a set-aside, expungement or pardon. A "specified" felony is one in which 1 or more of following circumstances exist: An element of that felony is the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another, or that by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense. An element of that felony is the unlawful manufacture, possession, importation, exportation, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance. An element of that felony is the unlawful possession or distribution of a firearm. An element of that felony is the unlawful use of an explosive. The felony is burglary of an occupied dwelling, or breaking and entering an occupied dwelling, or arson.
3. There has been a personal protection order issued against me. Does that prohibit me from buying any firearm? Does it affect the guns that I already own?
MCL 28.422 prohibits you from obtaining a License to Purchase a pistol if you have received notice of the Order and had an opportunity for a hearing. If the judge included in the order that you are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms, then it would affect the firearms you already own.

3. My father-in-law, who lives in Georgia, has two firearms which he wants to give me. Can I legally go to Georgia and bring the guns back to Michigan?
No. The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 generally prohibits the transportation into or receipt in the state where a person resides of a firearm obtained outside of that state. The transfer of the firearms would be lawful if your father-in-law sends the firearms via common carrier (such as UPS) to a licensed firearms dealer in Michigan. The Michigan firearms dealer can then transfer the firearms to you providing you meet all statutory requirements. If the firearm is a pistol, a License to Purchase or valid Concealed Pistol License is required.

Under the Federal Gun Control Act, individuals may only possess those fully-automatic firearms that were lawfully possessed before May 19, 1986.

5. Is it okay if I have a pistol with a 15 round magazine?
Yes, as federal law 18 USC Sec. 922 effective September 30, 1994 which prohibited an individual from having a firearm with a magazine holding over 10 rounds, was repealed effective September 1, 2004.

If you are a non-resident of Michigan with a valid concealed pistol permit from your home state, Michigan will recognize your permit (MCL 28.432 & MCL 28.432a). However, you must carry in conformance with any and all restrictions appearing on the permit. You are subject to Michigan's concealed pistol law including but not limited to restrictions on where a concealed pistol may be carried. Without a CPL, a non-resident may not have a pistol in Michigan.
3. Is an individual required to carry a copy of their Safety Inspection Certificate with them at all times?

Too Much
7:30 AM, Oct 30, 2012 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
So, if you are a law-abiding, mind-your-own-business citizen who happens to live near the Imperial City, you can now add to your list of torments a possible visit from a professional lobbyist sometime during a weekend when you would might rather be doing just about anything else. Already, you cannot watch a football game without being bombarded by those 30-second political spots and now this. These are people who make a living by persuading others, by wearing down their resistance. Seeing them at your doorstep does not gladden the heart.
And, one wonders, don't these people ever get enough? They do this, live this, five days a week. Can't they just give it a rest over the weekend. Rake leaves or something. Do garbage collectors spend their weekends visiting the dump?
And, finally, there is this question. If a professional lobbyist goes out rusting votes for a member of Congress, is this not a sort of contribution in kind? And can the lobbyist not at least imply, when buttonholing that member of Congress after the election, that it might be time for a little payback.

Last year, I paid a dofollow blog commenting service $230 for 1,000 comments on 500 blogs.
Also last year, I paid a nice Malaysian fellow $5/hr to comment on blogs for a number of my sites. He put in about 300 hours writing unique and relevant blog comments.
Very recently, I paid another fellow $125 for comments on 3PR6, 7PR5, 10PR4, 12PR3, 15PR2, and 15PR1 dofollow blogs.
I did not see any effect from the two tests I ran last year. I have yet to see any effect from the test I ran recently. The site I promoted actually received zero visitors for the last two days.
I hate to cause people trouble, and I know the blog comment sellers are doing a great job at blog commenting, but I have to tell all NetBuilders:
It appears that Google is ignoring all links from blog comments -- even DOFOLLOW blogs!

Lip syncing has always been, in the minds of common folk, one of those faux pas we only see when a member of the Real Housewives collective tries their hand at so-called "singing." (Believe it or not, those microphones in hand are as dead as a clueless possum trying to cross the 405 freeway against the flow of traffic.)
But in the world of gays and their fruitflies (think "girls who like boys who like boys"), lip syncing is a treasured pastime. Every week all across metropolitan America, thousands of people flock to gay centralias and check-in to clubs and bars for Drag Night. From New York City to San Francisco, from Chicago to Austin, Drag Nights have become inclusive events where lip syncing talent showcase their best renditions and gays of all circles and cliques come to D.M.L.

In the land of "prairie fires" and "cow-pies," summer is starting with a dead heat.
Iowa seems to always play an over-sized role in picking presidents. Its caucuses start the nominating process every four years, and this year it's also getting plenty of attention as a general election battleground state.
An NBC News-Marist poll released today shows President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney tied in the state, each finding the support of 44 percent of registered voters, including those who are undecided but leaning toward a candidate. Ten percent of voters in the Hawkeye State are completely undecided, the poll shows.
The fact that Iowans have seen more of these two men than voters in just about any state — and yet remain divided — suggests this could be a close election nationwide.
It's not only the candidates whom Iowans have seen. In a 30-day span, from April 30 through May 29, the campaigns and allied committees aired 5,891 presidential campaign ads in Iowa, according to New York-based Kantar Media's CMAG, a company that tracks advertising.
The campaigns aired more than half of them — Obama's 3,092, Romney's 1,396 — with four other groups, such as Crossroads GPS, weighing in with hundreds of their own ads.
Romney last visited Iowa about two weeks ago. It was his first visit since he and his rivals in the Republican race repeatedly campaigned there prior to the state caucuses that kicked off the party's contest on Jan. 3.
Romney was initially declared the winner of the Iowa caucuses, before a subsequent review gave a 34-vote victory to former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. Santorum, who emerged as Romney's main challenger, ended his bid for the Republican nomination on April 10.
Obama landed in Iowa aboard Air Force One just nine days after Romney's visit.
Addressing a cheering rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines on May 24, Obama delivered his sharpest attacks to date against Romney.
The president mocked his Republican rival, who said during a May 15 visit to Des Moines that Obama's failure to rein in federal spending is causing "a prairie fire of debt."
That is a "cow pie of distortion," Obama replied, drawing upon his own homespun metaphor.
The campaign for Iowa's six electoral votes will play out in a state with a better economic environment than the national picture. The state's jobless rate in April was 5.1 percent, below the national average of 8.1 percent and down from 6.3 percent in November 2010.
Bloomberg's Greg Giroux contributed to this report.

Jury convicts three of four in first Rampart trial
|PoliceOne Staff Report
(LOS ANGELES) -- A jury yesterday found three of four officers on trial to be guilty of framing gang members and other crimes, in the first of the Ramparts police scandal trials.
Sgt. Brian Liddy and Edward Ortiz and Officer Michael Buchanan were convicted of conspiracy to plant evidence and perjury for fabricating charges against two gang members, who the officers claimed ran down Liddy and Buchanan with a pickup truck during a July 1996 gang sweep, the Associated Press reported.
Officer Paul Harper was acquitted of all charges.
"There's good cops and there's bad cops," jury foreman Victor Flores told the court, "A lot of us on the jury felt that they just didn't happen to cover themselves enough and they never thought it would come back to haunt them."
The attorney for Buchanan, Harland Braun, believed that the public attention that has been focused on the four officers swayed the jury's decision to convict.
"There's been so much publicity about the Rampart scandal the jury might be afraid if they came in with all not guiltys, people would think it was the O. J. jury," Braun told the AP.
The scandal, which centered around accusations that the anti-gang unit of the Rampart station, lead to the dismissal of approximately 100 criminal cases and may cost the city $125 million in lawsuits, according to some estimates.
Ortiz, 44, told the wire service that he didn't understand the jury's decision. "I still believe to this day that we are innocent and that we did our job to keep the citizens of L.A. ... safe from all the gangs and all the crime that's going on out there," he said.

Bleak future seen for U.K. brain research
London (UPI) Feb 11, 2011
The closure of drug company research facilities and deep funding cuts will have a disastrous impact on brain science in Britain, health experts warned.
Cuts proposed by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council are expected to lead to the closure of at least 30 neuroscience research groups, adding to jobs already lost after big pharmaceutical companies shut down research programs or moved them abroad, The Guardian reported Thursday.
GlaxoSmithKline pulled out of antidepressant research in Britain last year and moved much of its research efforts to China in an effort to save $800 million a year by 2012, while AstraZeneca and Merck closed facilities across the country, the newspaper reported.
"There is now virtually no neuroscience being done by pharmaceutical companies in Britain," David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College, London, said. "The prospects for the future are extremely bleak."
The BBSRC said it had to cut support for the field because it consumes "too great a proportion of funding."
Instead, the council has asked its funding committees to give priority to research projects in other areas, including food security, bioenergy, industrial biotechnology and basic biosciences.
One neuroscientist said the field was being unfairly penalized.
"This is disastrous," Colin Blakemore of Oxford University and former head of the Medical Research Council said. "One of the most successful areas of science in Britain is going to be demonized because it is so successful. It's the last straw that might break the camel's back."

Mary Lou Worrick was born in Monroe on July 12, 1942. She was the daughter, one of six children born from the union of the late Rockwell Curtis and the late Lillian (Helle) Curtis. Mary attended school in Petersburg and Deerfield before graduating from Deerfield High School with the Class of 1960. She married the love of her life James Lloyd Worrick on June 4, 1960 in Petersburg. From this union came the birth of five children.
Mary loved her family and she considered the time spent with them of utmost importance. Second only to her family, flowers and plants seemed to provide Mary's life with fulfillment and joy. Mary took her passion for gardening and made it a career by taking employment with Frank Smith and Son Nursery. She loved her work and spent more than twelve years growing beautiful things before retiring in 2003. Her favorite pastimes included watching "I love Lucy", and she will forever be remembered for her sweet tea and her baking; especially delicious brownies.
Mary Lou Worrick age 69 of Monroe passed away at 11:29 a.m., Friday, Aug. 5 at Mercy Memorial Hospital. In addition to her parents her passing was preceded by her husband in March of 1977, and two brothers Marion and Ray Curtis.

Telvin Smith (22) and Christian Jones (7) are key parts of a linebacker group that should have a lot of fun under Jeremy Pruitt. / Riley Shaaber/FSView
- Filed Under
Outside of the bone-rattling hit by Nigel Bradham in the Miami game two years ago, the Florida State linebacker corp. has played mostly second fiddle to the defensive line the last couple of years, and some might even argue third fiddle to the defensive backs on the defensive side of the ball.
This is no fault of their own, as they have had some studs at the position including the aforementioned Bradham along with recently drafted Vince Williams and Nick Moody. Whether these Seminoles were hampered in the past by their defensive coordinators scheme, their linebacker coach or just been overshadowed by the talent of the four men in front of them is up for debate.
What isnt debatable is that this season Florida State has a new man leading the defense, former Alabama defensive back coach Jeremy Pruitt whos expected to bring some of Nick Sabans defenses over to FSU and make more use of linebacker blitzes; in addition to former Georgia Tech interim defensive coordinator Charles Kelly replacing Greg Hudson as the new position coach for the group, and a very talented but somewhat inexperienced defensive line in front of them as the Seminoles defensive line is featuring all new regular starters this year.
The linebackers are led by 64 235 lb. senior Christian Jones, who actually turned down the possibility of being the 12th Seminole and third linebacker taken in last Aprils NFL draft to return for his senior season. Jones led the team in tackles last year with 95, in addition to seven tackles for losses. Hes expected to move from the weak side linebacker position to middle linebacker this year under Pruitts defense, making him the center of the defense on and off the field.
Jones has all the talent and athleticism to succeed at any position hes put at. The third-year starter has actually seen a lot of playing time as a weak side and strong side linebacker throughout his career, even playing two full drives at defensive end in the spring game.
Jones will be playing alongside fellow senior Telvin Smith, who after splitting time at middle linebacker last season with Williams, will step into the full time starter at the weak side linebacker position. Smith saw most of his playing time on passing downs in 2012, but still recorded 64 tackles with 9.5 for losses. He has all the ability to cover slot receivers and tight-ends from the weak side position, as well as rush the passer and could have a huge year under the new defensive regime.
Smith and Jones are the veterans and are both expected to anchor the Seminole defense, as both are candidates for post-season awards. Jones is on the watch list for the Bednarik Award, given to the top defensive player in the nation, along with the Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in the country, which Smith is also nominated for.
As for the final linebacker position that is still too be announced. Sophomore Reggie Northrup could find himself at the top of the depth chart, but redshirt sophomore Terrance Smith and redshirt junior Nigel Terrell wont be making it easy. All mostly saw playing time on special teams and clean-up duty, so no matter who takes the job it will be someone without much experience.
One person who would love to see playing time this upcoming year as well is none other than true freshman Matthew Thomas. The four/five star recruit Thomas was the surprise steal on signing day, as many media outlets had him as the highest rank recruit for the Seminoles. Whether fans would ever see Thomas in garnet and gold came into flux after it became reported that he wanted to be granted release and play elsewhere to start as soon as possible. After some doubt though, Thomas released a statement saying he would honor his commitment and released an Instagram photo of his FSUCard.
If the coaching changes and new defensive schemes turn out to be for the better, then all signs point to the linebackers being the first fiddle on the 2013 edition of the Noles.

Born: November 23, 1957
Died: July 10, 2007
Cathi was born to William and Patricia Mashburn in Pasadena, California, on Nov. 23, 1957.
She was married to Robert Earl Pence in 1976 and they divorced in 1989.
She did various office work for most of her life and was always known for her diligence and commitment to her work.
She was active in the Narcotics Anonymous community after her own recovery with drugs, and was always there for anyone who needed help. She also served in the local jail, using her past to empathize with many of the women there, helping them find direction in their lives.
What she will be remembered for most is her great sense of humor that helped her to smile and laugh her way though any situation.
Her wonderful attitude carried her through even when she was diagnosed with brain cancer about a month prior to her death. She went home to be with the Lord at the age of 49 after she suffered from a perforated intestine that the doctors were unable to operate on because of the cancer.
She passed on very peacefully with her loved ones by her side at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles.
She was a proud mother and even prouder grandmother, and was fortunately able to spend a wonderful 15 months getting to know her granddaughter, Breanna.
She is survived by her daughter, Mary Ruth Mollinet, son-in-law, John Carl Mollinet, and granddaughter, Breanna Belle Mollinet, of Sequim.
Also survived by sisters, Connie and Chrisi and seven nieces and nephews of Bakersfield, California; her Uncle Warren and Aunt Mickey Graham of Tahlequah, Oklahoma; and stepmother Connie Mashburn of Sevierville, Tennessee.
A memorial service will be held at Olympic Vineyard Church in Port Angeles on Monday July 23, at 6 p.m.
Memorial contributions can be made to Strait View Credit Union in the name of Cathi Pence at 220 S. Lincoln St., or P.O. Box 339, Port Angeles, WA 98362; or to Olympic Vineyard Church, 3415 S. Peabody St., Port Angeles, WA 98362
