Now it's time for Dressage!!!
Aug. 12, 2008, 07:14 PM
So it's tomorrow already in China and it's 6:15am Wednesday when does the dressage begin? thanks
Aug. 12, 2008, 07:31 PM
Around 7 pm Beijing time, or 7 am Eastern tomorrow morning. I believe all of the horse events from now on will be at the same time, which is unfortunate for those of us who don't really like mornings :cry:
Aug. 12, 2008, 07:38 PM
<==== NOT a morning person... but... BRING ON DRESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D I am so excited!
Aug. 12, 2008, 07:45 PM
Whoo-hoo! I'm ready. Not that I'll be able to watch live, but hopefully catch it later at a convenient point. Keep up the play-by-play threads on the broadcasts! :yes:
Aug. 12, 2008, 08:19 PM
It should be great! :yes: But sad for Rogerio Clementino, as his mount Nilo VO didn't pass inspection... :no:
Aug. 12, 2008, 10:29 PM
I thought NBC was livestreaming the dressage but the NBC schedule says no livestream is scheduled for equestrian tomorrow am.
any ideas?
perhaps I'm interpreting the schedule incorrectly?

Aug. 12, 2008, 11:01 PM
Not a morning person here either but I'm setting my alarm!
Aug. 12, 2008, 11:06 PM
The link for tomorrow's equestrian is in the "Coming Up" box on the NBC site, so they are planning on streaming starting at 7:15am Eastern time.
Aug. 12, 2008, 11:08 PM
darnit :(
Might be a good excuse to call in sick from work, seeing as I can't view video there. It is REALLY important, right?
Aug. 12, 2008, 11:20 PM
Maybe try out a theory I had back when I was in school. If we were sick, we missed for not feeling well, and if the weather was lousy, the whole district had snow days. I always thought as a kid that in the interests of fairness, we ought to also have individual "well" days we could use, and the whole district ought to cancel now and then for weather that was just too good to waste sitting in school.
So try that. "Hey, boss, I'm sorry, but I just feel too good to come to work today. See you tomorrow."
On the other hand, my theory never carried much weight with Mom. :D
Aug. 12, 2008, 11:35 PM
I am so, so bummed. :cry:
I am stuck at home, in a chair in front of the 'puter all day with my stupid busted up knee, and yet I can't get the video to work. <sob>
I'm really, truly upset. I've fiddled with everything I can, and you just can't seem to do it on dialup. :cry:
Aug. 13, 2008, 12:09 AM
I'm all over 'well days'...I can't come in today..I feel too well!
Or...better still 'mental health' days ;)
Aug. 13, 2008, 12:24 AM

The Magazine
A Revolution Gone Sour?
Ukraine's Orange team, two years later.
Jan 1, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 16 • By JEFFREY GEDMIN
Certain stereotypes about Americans and Europeans seem to stick. Americans are addicted to huge containers of food and beverage when we go to the movies. We like watching fires, murder, and mayhem on the nightly local news. We also tend to be fairly passionate about human freedom. Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give me death" is a natural part of American culture. Europeans, on the other hand, tend to find inspiration in Bertolt Brecht's line, "erst kommt das Fressen, dann die Moral"--first comes getting fed, then come the moral issues. I have the feeling that many West Europeans, like the young woman at Starbucks, like their freedoms, too, but may cherish stability at least as much. That may be one reason the E.U. keeps yearning for a return of the realists in Washington. I watched a British journalist on BBC recently arguing with considerable fervor that democracy was not right for Belarus.
Having said this, Europeans did quite a bit to assist Ukraine's Orange revolution two years ago, when an illiberal, corrupt government stole an election only to see the result overturned by a massive display of people power. Millions participated in nationwide demonstrations. Supporting Ukraine's independent media, NGOs, student groups, and the like turned out to be a remarkable instance of transatlantic cooperation in democracy promotion. Some two-thirds of all registered voters came out to vote in the new elections which brought Viktor Yushchenko and his Orange team to power. Adrian Karatnycky, president of Freedom House at the time, wrote in Foreign Affairs that the Orange Revolution marked "a seismic shift Westward in the geopolitics of the region." Good news for America and for Europe.
I've come to Kiev to poke around on the eve of Vladimir Putin's December 22 visit to the Ukrainian capital. What a difference two years make. The Russian president has gone from "being the loser to being a player again," says Yuriy Ruban, director of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, a government-funded think tank. That profound pro-West shift looks suddenly tenuous.
Two years ago Moscow backed Yushchenko's opponent Viktor F. Yanu kovich. Rather vigorously. The Kremlin is believed to have had a hand in the dramatic dioxin poisoning that left Yushchenko disfigured. Then, after Yanukovich's defeat, Putin briefly halted gas deliveries to Ukraine when Yushchenko's new government balked at accepting a 400 percent price increase. The West Europeans were not amused either. They receive Russian gas through a Ukrainian pipeline. In the end, Kiev survived. The new government got off with a mere 90 percent increase. The Kremlin had made its point.
Since then the Orange Revolution has taken its hits. Expectations ran exceptionally high and Yushchenko failed to deliver fast enough on promises to battle corruption and reform the economy. Cuba, Syria, and Burkina Faso all fare better than Ukraine in fighting corruption according to Transparency International's latest survey. Last March, Yanukovich's Party of Regions came back to win a plurality in parliamentary elections, while Yushchenko's Our Ukraine party polled a disappointing 13 percent. And in August, the 56-year-old Yanu kovich, former head of a Soviet transport company, completed his improbable comeback by becoming the country's new prime minister. Surprisingly, Yushchenko joined his nemesis in the government, becoming the country's president, and since then he has trimmed his sails on a number of fronts, giving supporters at home and abroad concern about his next moves.
Realists care about Ukraine. With nearly 50 million people and a territory the size of France, Ukraine is a pivotal player in the Black Sea region. Roughly 80 percent of Western Europe's gas imports pass through Ukraine. By 2010 Ukraine wants to start transiting Caspian and Azerbaijan oil to Europe. In September, Kiev got the Pentagon's attention when it signaled interest in selling its Kolchuga passive detection system to Iran. The radar system detects takeoff and formation of aircraft groups. Ukraine could easily revert to being a useful piece on the Russian chessboard as Putin tries to thwart American interests in different parts of the world.
What does Yushchenko want? People here tell me he wants to reposition himself politically to siphon off at least some of the support upon which Yanukovich relies in the pro-Russian eastern part of the country. Among other things, Yushchenko has been reaching out to influential businessmen with strong ties to Russia in an apparent attempt to build a counterweight to Yanukovich. This week he appointed Valery Khorosh kovsky, a businessman with close ties to the Russian steel industry, to become a senior member of his foreign policy team. Although Yanukovich has been slicing away at his power, the president of Ukraine still technically retains power over foreign and defense policy. The president understands, says one adviser, that NATO is "not the bestselling product at the moment." Public support for membership in the alliance has dropped by at least half to less than 20 percent in the last two years.
But allies insist that Yushchenko has not given up his robust pro-Western attitudes. He continues to advocate E.U. membership for Ukraine, even if that is a distant dream. He wants his country to take more active steps toward NATO membership and plans to embark on a campaign to reestablish and increase public support. "Yushchenko still sees joining NATO as Ukraine's best guarantee for independence," says a banker with close ties to the president.
What does Yanukovich want? He came to Washington recently, quoted Martin Luther King in a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and tried to convince Americans that he agrees E.U. and NATO membership would serve his country well, albeit at a much slower pace than Yushchenko once pushed for. "Yanukovich may not be so devilish a figure," says long-time democracy activist Inna Pidluska. She was not the only one who was surprised by the prime minister's recent announcement that Ukraine would not join a customs union with Russia.
Still, Putin acts as if he wants to buy Yanukovich, and some say Yanukovich looks like he's for sale. After Yanukovich's appointment as prime minister in August, Putin invited Yanukovich--and not the president as protocol would have dictated--to join the heads of state from the Eurasian Economic Community for meetings at the Russian resort town of Sochi. At the Sochi meetings, Russia's state-controlled gas monopoly Gazprom promised Yanukovich he need not worry about gas prices, at least until the end of the year. Incidentally, Belarussian dictator Alexander Lukashenko gets huge energy discounts for good behavior and loyalty to Moscow.
One could easily lose heart over such developments. At the moment, Ukraine looks positioned to muddle through at best. But then the Orange Revolution, like other outbursts of people power, was accompanied by a good deal of irrational exuberance. What totalitarian dictatorship took decades to destroy, democracy may take equally long to repair.
Ihor Kohut, who heads an NGO dealing with the Ukrainian legislature, urges Ukraine supporters to remember, "We've won the basic tools of democracy, such as fair and free parliamentary elections." A solid majority of Ukrainians support the right of independent NGOs to monitor elections. The head of Caritas Ukraine, a German journalist turned social worker and civic organizer named Andriy Waskowycz, tells me that the Orange Revolution awakened a strong civic spirit and social participation. In his view, this spirit is still alive, and it will be extremely difficult for anyone to put all this back in the bottle. To me, the democracy ideologue, that sounds about right. Meanwhile, as Vladimir Putin campaigns to restore Russia's position on the world stage, we still have a few other issues to ponder when we think about Ukraine.

Of all the people watching Molly Huddle set a world record in the 12-kilometer run Sunday in Alexandria, Va., no one could be more thrilled than her mother, Kathleen.

Good history of Tupelo, but the veterans museum in back stole the show. Memorabilia from different wars also lots of nazi items as well as American items.
If you have a little time and want to see some different things from old Tupelo, it is worth a visit. They have an interesting model train running, some old fire trucks, an old diner, and a small room with old medical and dental equipment that is scary/fascinating. Though not connected to Tupelo, there is a wonderful collection of Hollywood...
all the employees were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond in helping us to enjoy not only their museum but also their town!
We arrived on a Monday, when it was officially closed but were fortunate to be let in anyway. The collection is really diverse so there's something to interest everyone, regardless of age .
The veterans museum, accessed through the same entrance is excellent and contains extensive personal memorabilia from many wars. Fascinating stuff for anyone with an interest in either...
We stopped by here and met Tony Lute, owner if the Veterans Museum, Kenny, owner of the old movie, circus, and magic show posters; it was a great history lesson and recommend if you're in Tupelo to visit because it has lots of great physical scenery of a world no longer known, especially to our children!
West of town on Highway 278 and just past the Natchez Trace Parkway entrance road, take a left on Rutherford road. Right turn into Tupelo city park and the Oren Dunn City Museum. A very nice opportunity to see the way things were in early Tupelo and the area. Several nice outdoor exhibits and buildings. Of Special Note: DO NOT...
Easy to find, free parking, nominal admission fee ($3), very interesting outbuildings. There is a Veteran's museum in the back which you can visit for free but they do accept and appreciate donations. The veteran's museum is owned by an individual collector. You would not believe the sheer quantity of items in there! The owner, Tony Lute, has another museum...
We loved the admission price, which also included the very interesting Veterans Museum attached to the Oren Dunn Museum.
Staff was very friendly.
I saw a brosure of this place when i was in tupelo and decided to stop and take a look. you cant beat the price ( $3.oo for adults.) There is also a vetereans museum behind the building thats free. out front there are a bunch of old buildings and trains. we spent quite a lot of time there and...
This museum has a lot of items on a lot of subjects. It would benefit greatly from more organization. The outside displays are a collection of misc artifacts which would benefit from more identification. Having said this, my wife and I spent 75 minutes here, but we tend to look at and read everything.
This is a nice stop if...

Respond to Review of Fair Grounds Coffeehouse
by Rambling Woman
Review: This place was unbelievable--and I've eaten all over the country. I had the McVegan Waffle (DELICIOUS) though not super large/filling. My boyfriend got the "grilled cheese" with some kalamata olives and it was delicious--don't look for a melted slice, though, it's the house "cheese" on display--and it's delicious. We finished it off with green tea muffins, biscotti, and some coffee cake to-go, and I had the Waldorf Astoria (red velvet cake with decadent vanilla frosting) and my boyfriend had the german chocolate cake for dessert. Run, don't walk to this mid-western treat!

Beautiful adventure
What we have here is a full-classic adventure whose plot is set in a fantasy world (I can't imagine nothing more classic). What makes it stand out in the crowd is its fine-crafting in every aspect. Graphics are a really joy to look at. Story is dense, mysterious and not at all pleasing (not like King's Quest). Writing is good, as is acting, with actors modulating expressively each word. The interface is also very good, comfortable and never-hindering. You play two different characters alternatively, leaping 450 years back and forth, as the plot develops. Puzzles, that are the core of any adventure, are here deep and imaginative: you'll have to use not only plain logic, but your imagination as well. In short, a very advisable piece of gaming (if you like this style of entertainment, that is).

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Some Biden-Palin reviews
The vice presidential debate may be over, but the reviews are still coming in. Here is a paif of statements issued late last night by the two state parties.
(Any guesses on who each side thinks won?)
State GOP chairman Reince Priebus: "Tonight, Governor Sarah Palin silenced critics and proved she is ready to lead as Vice President of the United States. A Washington outsider and proven maverick, Palin went toe-to-toe with Senator Joe Biden, pointing out flaws in his ticket's positions on raising taxes for hardworking Americans, opposing the surge in Iraq and proposing to meet with radical foreign leaders. Speaking directly to the American people about what she and Senator McCain will do to move our country forward, Governor Palin was a breath of fresh air while Senator Biden was stuck in the past and lied about his record, John McCain's record and Barack Obama's proposals."
State Democratic chairman Joe Wineke: "Tonight, the American people saw why Barack Obama chose Joe Biden, a statesman from Scranton who clearly has the experience and knowledge to be a great Vice President. Meanwhile, Governor Palin was a strong voice for the McCain campaign, but she didn't have any answers for America's middle class. While Joe Biden offered a clear plan to get our economy back on track, improve our standing in the world and rebuild the middle class, Sarah Palin did nothing more than champion the same failed polices of George Bush, that are supported by John McCain."

- Three-hour Beirut historical walking tour with an expert guide
- Explore archeological sights, some of which were discovered as recently as 2007
- Visit the National Museum of Beirut
- Entertaining and informative commentary from your local expert guide
What You Can Expect
Your guide will give you a brief introduction to this fascinating city's turbulent history and provide a glimpse of Beirut's true character. The liberalism associated with Beirut has been maintained even during periods of near complete destruction. With the break-up of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the WWI, the city became the capital of modern Lebanon. Today Beirut's long and complex history is being revealed at new archeological sites in the city.
During your three-hour walking tour, you'll see the impressive Martyrs' Statue, a memorial to the Lebanese nationalists executed by the Ottomans during WWI. After your Beirut walking tour, you'll return to central Beirut and visit the National Museum of Beirut.
Please note: Though the US Department of State has issued a warning against travel to Lebanon due to safety and security concerns, Viator's Lebanon tours continue to operate with no disruptions. We are in frequent contact with our local suppliers and guides in Lebanon, and they report that all tours are operating as scheduled. Should the situation change, we will update this information and customers will be notified of alterations or cancellations to tours.

September 2014
This tour was amazing!
March 2014
Excellent! The walking tour was just what I needed to learn the history of downtown Beirut and visit the National Museum. Our guide was a mind of information and knowledge about the monuments she proudly showed the group. The weather was unfortunately not brilliant - pouring with rain - but our guide made it all so interesting that you forgot about the weather! I found Viator very professional and accommodating managing to put us (two adults and one child) on the afternoon trip to Chouf when we found out that morning that the tour had two parts. My 7 year-old daughter loved the trip and was far from bored with the historical information. Definitely recommend this trip and other Viator tours to others.
April 2013
Thanks to the well-informed, charming Eliane I learnt a lot about the recently 'contested' parts of Beirut during the civil war, the rebirth of downtown Beirut. The visit to the Museum was special. Would be great to have a slightly longer tour for those of us interested in a deeper and slightly wider experience, ie Ottoman Beirut, getting inside key buildings, a neighbourhood, personalised stories. Needless to say south Beirut is ignored by most tour groups but hard to ignore politically!
April 2013
A great way to see Beirut, the tour was well paced and informative. I recommend this to everyone who goes there. I was so impressed I did a tour the next day to the Becca Valley.
March 2013
Enjoyable and informative.
November 2013
Tour guide was good but it is a tour that can be done alone

It is to the Castle of carrion that we are going, as Bellido is now absent.
Already the carrion birds had gathered in incredible numbers.
A big coughing mass, reeking of carrion, bounded past him up the hill, and he followed discreetly.
There was the scent of carrion in the air now; I saw it in his eyes.
Its presence was manifested by the stench from far off from the carrion of the dead.
But you are learning, cur; you are learning by the pain of your fat carcase; is it not so, carrion?
The Vultures, and other carrion birds, share with the crustac the essential office of health preservers.
Offal and carrion were strewn all about the place; it swarmed with flies.
The - 235 - large birds commonly seen are the rook, carrion crow, daw, and wood-pigeon.

Beware The Deadly Deer
Every season presents the potential for paradise or peril.
Shortly after dawn Monday, the village of Noank at first glance had the appearance of the staging ground for a Navy Seal-like invasion, as wetsuit-clad swimmers began assembling near Town Dock, along with a small flotilla of kayaks and power boats.
"What are you guys, some kind of club?" a woman out walking her dog asked me as I jammed a leg into the neoprene garment and tightened a strap on my goggles.
"Sorry, ma'am, I'm not at liberty to divulge that information," I replied.
Just kidding. What I really said was, "Not a club, per se; just a bunch of people getting ready to swim across Fishers Island Sound." She raised her eyebrows and said, "No kidding. Well, good luck!"
"Thanks. I'll need it."
Loyal readers may recall I mentioned a couple weeks ago I had been training for this event, and promised to follow up with an account. Monday was D-Day; here's my story.
I and the other swimmers — Vince Antonelli, Spyros "Spy" Barres, Laura Ely, Rick Ely, B.J. Ferguson, Anne Galliher, Mary Georgetti, Jack Morehouse, Nickie Pettinati and Barry Sheckley — climbed into four power boats that towed four kayaks and began motoring toward our starting site at Clay Point on Fishers Island.
We had hoped to begin swimming by 7:30 just before slack tide in order to reach Groton Long Point, slightly more than 2 miles north, before the tide began to ebb about 8:30, but getting everybody on board and in position proved about as challenging as herding cats. As one of the slowest swimmers in this mixed group of amateurs and competitive triathletes I was particularly concerned about the timing — more about that shortly.
Anyway, we looked less like the Allied Forces landing on Normandy's Omaha Beach and more like McHale's Navy, but after all, this was to be a fun event — or so I kept telling myself.
The kayak support team climbed into their vessels, we posed for pictures on a partially submerged rock, the power boats that would accompany us started their engines, and with a whoop and a splash we were off.
As much as I enjoy recreational swimming, I vastly prefer hiking, running or kayaking because of the isolation.
For the next two hours I never saw another swimmer and only exchanged a handful of words with my "wing man," Phil Plouffe, who paddled alongside and tried to keep me on course.
"Are we halfway there?" I asked at one point.
"Almost," he replied.
An hour later we had this exchange:
"Head a little farther to the right."
With about a quarter-mile to go I noticed I had begun drifting slightly east of our destination.
Uh-oh. The ebb had begun.
Gamely, Phil tried to direct me west, but it was no go. The harder I swam, the farther I slid east.
Spy, behind me, was having the same problem.
A motorboat skipper pulled alongside.
"Don't fight it," he said. "You're like treading water." He suggested I change course and swim east with the current toward Noank.
"Don't worry. I'll pick you up wherever you land," he added.
"I'm not worried. Thanks," I spluttered.
Truth be told I felt good the whole way and never doubted I'd make it, but I hadn't planned to swim an extra half-mile or so, even with an ebbing tide.
Once I began stroking with the current, though, I made good progress and within 15 minutes approached Morgan Point in Noank near the mouth of the Mystic River.
"This is good enough," I called over to Phil. He nodded.
I swam over to the rocks, touched one with an arm, and then reversed direction and steered for the waiting power boat. Once aboard I saw Spy make a similar maneuver, and I gave him a thumbs up. Moments later we rejoined our companions at Noank Town Dock.
Spy and I had swum to Fishers Island from Groton Long Point a few years ago, more or less on a lark, with Phil accompanying us in a rowboat. It was great to do it again in the opposite direction, and with a bigger crew.
"What's next?" I asked B.J. Ferguson, the organizer of Monday's adventure. "Block Island?"
He laughed.
"I can scratch this off my bucket list," he said. "But there's always something new to do."
B.J. and most of the others swim regularly at Giants Neck Beach at Rocky Neck in East Lyme, in an informal but hardcore group organized by Barry Sheckley. They typically hit the water at dawn and swim for a mile or two.
I hope to make it out at least once this year before the snow flies so next time I'll be able to reach Groton Long Point before the tide turns.
Great job, guys and gals, and thanks for having me along.

radar and laser detector and jammers
I would like to know what everyone who has experiance with this please.?
I have a whistler. It's been with me for about 10 years and is still running strong. Works with laser, radar, and lidar for a full 360'. I only use it on long road trips so it sits in the garage for the rest of the time.
AND ON THE FLIPSIDE...If you have a radar detector and are stopped by police for speeding, I will bet you money you get a ticket. The philosophy is simple. If you have a radar detector, you probably speed often....and you probably RARELY get caught. SO.....when you do get caught, you WILL be written a citation to make up for all those times you've gotten away. Now ask me how I know this...

How many tickets have you written for radar jammers?
And aren't detectors legal, but jammers illegal?
I've never had the occassion to come across a "jammer."
Radar detectors are legal in most states and it is my understanding that jammers are illegal. But...I'm not sure on how the jammer law applies to my state.
I don't write many speeding tickets at all. 99% of the time I write speeding tickets is when I work school zones. Believe me...I don't play around with school zones and the lives of our children. I don't care what time you thought it was. I don't care what kind of hurry you are in. I don't care that no kids were present when you sped through. I don't care that you are from out of town and didn't know that there was a school zone. I don't care that you were...bla, bla, bla. I DON'T CARE. First off, you should be paying attention to your driving. There are signs for schools everywhere, signs posted for the speed limit, signs posted for kids crossing, stripes painted on the ground, big buildings with "school" written on the side, yellow busses parked along the street or in the parking lot, FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS that warn you of the speed limit, etc. If you can't see flashing yellow lights, you are plain...$#@%*. Sorry for the ranting, folks. You now know something that gets on my nerves.
Back to the subject...if you have a radar detector (and depending on how fast you were going), and if I stop you (which means you were proabably going pretty fast), you will proabably get a ticket. For me, it all depends on how heavy/light the traffic is, the type and location of roadway (highway or side streets), and the attitude of the driver. To answer your question, I've proabably written 75-80% of those I've stopped w/ radar detectors. Then, I write "RDU" on the back of the ticket telling the Judge that a "radar detector is in use."
I used to be Dragoneye...
Good for you TAG, on the school zone thing. High Schools I don't much worry about - I'll be honest. but Elementaryand Middle Schools I definitly slow down, for all the reasons you have!
Radar detectors: I'm not familiar with them, how do they work? They sense a radar gun within a certain radius, and then they beep or something?
A radar gun is a small Doppler radar used to detect the speed of objects. A radar gun does not return information regarding the object's position. It relies on the Doppler Effect applied to a radar beam to measure the speed of objects it is pointed at.
Radar guns may be hand-held or vehicle-mounted. They can be used as a tool in the regulation of traffic speed by law enforcement and also to measure speeds in sports.
Most of today's radar guns operate at X, K, Ka, and (in Europe) Ku bands. An alternative technology, LIDAR, uses pulsed laser light.
The radar gun was invented by Bryce K. Brown of Decatur Electronics in March 1954[1], and was first used in Chicago, Illinois by Patrollman Leonard Baldy in April 1954.
There are radar detectors on the market which can detect most police radar and laser systems. Conversely, in the spirit of electronic warfare, some police radars are equipped with detectors of operating radar detectors.
[edit] How radar guns work
Radar guns are, in their most simple form, radio transmitters and receivers. They send out a radio signal, then receive the same signal back as it bounces off the objects. However, the radar beam is different when it comes back and from that difference the radar gun can calculate vehicle speed.
A radar beam is similar to the beam of a flashlight as it spreads out as the distance from the signal origin increases. The signal then bounces off objects in the path of the beam and are reflected back to the gun. The gun uses the doppler effect to calculate the speed of the object in the beam's path.
All bands of radar work the same way; they simply operate on different frequencies. X band guns are becoming less common due to the fact the beam is strong and easily detectable. Also, most automatic doors utilize radio waves on X band and can possibly affect the readings of police radar. As a result K band and Ka band are most commonly used by police agencies.
[edit] Problems with radar guns
Although radar is an effective tool to acquire an object's speed, there are problems with it. Today's technology is relatively effective and error free so most inaccurate speed measurements are caused by the user.
For speed to be accurately calculated, the object whose speed is desired should be the only moving object in the beam of the radar. If this is not the case, as in a police officer monitoring speed on a stretch of busy road, more articulation is needed in testifying to a particular vehicle's speed. As such, most police officers are trained in the practice of visual estimation of speed, and the radar is thus used as a verification of the visual estimation. In addition, it is easy enough to testify that the vehicle in the offside lane was passing vehicles in the nearside lane, and is therefore the vehicle whose speed is showing on the readout as traveling above the posted limit. The angle in which the object is in relation to the radar source can also affect the reading. This includes angles on a horizontal and vertical plane. This is referred to as Cosine Error, but this effect generally causes the displayed speed to be lower than actual speed, in actuality benefitting the violator.
I ran an escort for many years.
One thing most people don't think about, you can have the best Valentine1 in your vehicle, if you don't also imporove HOW you drive, it won't do you much good.
Smart driving along with a good detector is a good thing
Regarding jammers, That is attracting too much negative attention IMO. If you drive smart and have a good detector, that is all you really need

Virginia gets none of the above, and it's a healthy fine to have one in the cabin where it can be accessible to a power source.
I'm finally over my desire to go faster than everyone else on the road. And realistically I've noticed that I don't get from point A to point B that much faster.
That being said, one of the most fun road trips ever was me in the Supra and my ex-roommate in his convertible 350Z hauling from Virginia Beach to Tampa, Florida to R&R at my old man's.
We were rarely in the double-digits, made the trip in about 10 hours. Was in boost most of the trip, targa off, radio up. I probably got 10 mpg that trip but it was fun!
I used to be Dragoneye...
I was thinking about getting a CB radio for kicks and a detector for well...I would never use it to intentionally piss off the cops, just to allow myself the extra few miles an hour every once in a while

I desire the adrenaline of racing but would only do it on a track. Might go a couple runs at stoplights or deserted roads, but that's it. I just want to know that IF I WANTED TO, I could show the ricer punk what the general ordered.
The detector would be for driving home at 3 am. I had a bad incident with a speed trap with what I thought was illegal but it's a long story and I don't wanna get into typing it out. I just want one in case I can't pick out the headlights (which I think I'm good at telling any car by headlight or taillights at night).
Or like the long trips down I-5.You want to set the cruise at 85 or higher because there's no one on the road and no wind, no changing scenery. Then you get hit by a radar ping and a ticket being the only car on the road. It hasn't happened to me, and I hope it never does, but I hate driving long starightaways alone and bored, being stuck at what seems like a snails pace.
P.S. I-5 runs down the central valley in CA and it's 70 speed limit the whole way. 2 lanes in either directions with a few business routes but open road for most of it.

Back in Black
I have a CB for my long trips from VA to NY(the in-laws) and NH(my home state). Unfortunately, there is no place to stick my Wilson Little Wil mag-mount on my Trans Am other than the hood. I love getting the local "bear report" from the truckers and getting info on traffic and construction. I've never owned a radar detector, but I typically do not speed unless the road is open. When I do push it, I don't go fast enough where I can not react to different situations on the road. Like MerF though, my favorite long trip was for block leave last summer before my current deployment. I made it from VA to NH in about 10 hours flat, which is normally a 12-14 hour trip depending on traffic. I averaged about 95MPH the whole trip, anddidn't hit traffic once, even in NYC. It was like my own private Cannonball Run. I kept the tops on for the first half of the trip to save fuel, but I had to pull them off from NYC onward to enjoy that beautiful northern summer air. Once I get back I'll be making the trip again, but this time in the wife's Mustang which will be fresh out of the shop with an engine rebuild and full exhaust. It will be a good shakedown for the old horse. I guess for me it is not about getting there the fastest, but enjoying the drive. If the roads allow me to safely open it up, then I will, and I will gladly pay the price if I get caught.

It would be nice not to be surprised though...

so when cops are just driving down the road they're not using their radar? But they can still get you for speeding right? I rarely see cops just sitting there with the gun, they're allways driving cause i live by a jail and courthouse and stuff so...

My boyfriend has a Peterbilt that he drives... The CB comes in very handy!
Radar is extrememly reliable if you know how to use it. If there is a new officer using the unit, they need to sit down, try it out, and test it for a while. I've sat on the access and picked up speeders on the hwy thinking it was the guy on the access. If I wasn't sure, I didn't mess with it. I'm not going to stop someone for something I THOUGHT they could have been doing. I'm going to stop someone for something THEY ARE doing. That's what concerns me w/ new officers just learning on the radar.
It really only takes a couple hours to get a good feel about who is speeding. If you have ever sat on the side of the road for hours on end, you can actually start guessing peoples speeds. I'll sit there w/ the radar gun in a school zone. I won't put it out the window. I'll wait for someone who looks like they are speeding and then radar them. I can usually guess their speed. I'll radar them and usually it's almost on the nose. It just comes natural after sitting there w/ the gun hitting 100's of cars w/ the radar gun. But, I don't stop that many people anyway. I might write 3 tickets a month. Haven't had a one yet this month.

I've considered (and still am) becoming an officer for just that reason. I like helping people and just can't stand BAD drivers, which doesn't mean speeders...just people who can't obey the rules of the road that are common sense.
I mainly just like the idea of being in a position to do some good. It's just that it would be a considerable pay cut for me. :(
And for that reason I have a nice radar detector. I always drive with it on just to make sure I'm not doing 6 mph over when it goes off around here
Oh and jammers cost way too much and don't really work. They can go bad over time and I don't beleive they block lasers and any of the newer radar signals (like Ka). They're not worth it. Just invest in a good radar detector and don't drive like a douche.
And some old jammers actually set off radar detectors. I was driving on a highway once and the only other car in sight was a 70's van going 55. The closer I got to it, the more my radar detector went off! So I slowly pulled up next to the car in case it somehow actually was a cop and there was some old guy with long hair and a tie-dye bandanna on. Our eyes met, I started laughing my ass off, and sped away. Now, imagine how surprised I would have been after that if that scooby-doo van actually was an undercover cop and pulled me over! Haha.
I used to be Dragoneye...
Yeah! Oh, that's good. I wish i was there....."Hey, man...check out my jammer, man...cops won't catch me, man"
Btw, what's generally a good brand of detector? and what's the average range?
I had a lady crying over the phone two weeks ago that had her purse snatched from her (he pushed her down which was borderline robbery, but we still ran it theft from a person which is a state jail felony) and I caught the guy. He got a rental car, ran around town stealing ladies purses, probably broke into other cars, stole my ladies purse, was trying to use stolen credit cards to get quick cash, and was pretty much on a crime spree. My complainant got the LP of the rental car. I found out the rental car company was in my district. I ran by, they gave me the renters info. I found out, DUH...this guy is wanted on a parole violation (for three felonies), and the car is overdue (yeah...we have a winner, winner, winner).
The renters description matched that of our suspects perfectly. It was towards the end of the shift. I hung around and hid my patrol car. He showed up w/ a 2nd getaway vehicle and another driver. I waited until he drove the rental over the metal spikes on the ground and into the parking lot. I took him down and hooked him up. Sure as sh!t, it was him...matched the desc to a "T"...parole violation and all (we booked him on theft). The other driver was booked for warrants and drivers license violations. We found our original complainants purse, wallet, all her stuff. She was crying on the phone she was so happy and thankful. Oh, and we found wallets and purses belonging to other people as well. All in all, it was a pretty good bust.
Things like this are so gratifying. I wouldn't give up this job for the world. I love everyday and ...well...just about every minute of it... And, as far as pay goes, my salary is going up and will be around $75K with overtime included in two years. It's not bad $ for me right now.
Ranges vary depending on the detector and environment. In an open area like a highway or something, you can get a couple miles out of it. Where I live (Chicago suburbs), they had one of those things set up on the side of the road that tells you your speed. I counted 9/10ths of a mile away when i started detecting it with mine.
I used to be Dragoneye...
I only meant that you're a GOOD cop, not a sleezy, I'm-in-control cop...there are too many out there. It doesn't matter how many tickets you write to me.
To be a police officer would be fun, I think. I know a few of the "good" ones down at our town's station, and one of my friends is becoming an officer. Good crowd.
Ahh...money. no that's not bad at all. I'm becoming a technology teacher. starting around 34,000...not bad for starting. and I get my summers off . I think that too much money is a bad thing. It corrupts easily, like a disease...the more you have the worse off you are. I want a decent salary that allows me not to worry about bills or 'surprises'. I don't want to be rich.
Whoa!! Off topic, sorry...
So, about those jammers and detectors
I drank what?

I don't know if I'm going with the Valentine One or get an Escort. Hmm...
But you know what really irritates me? Seeing police officers who are supposed to be, "law enforcers", breaking the law theyre supposed to enforce. I always see cops speeding for no good reason. Now, I know they're not going to any emergency, and here's the reason I know that
-You're doing the posted speed limit which we'll say is 45. Just then, you notice in your rear view mirror that an officer is approaching in the next lane at about 50-55mph. Now, this person is clearly breaking a law they gave an oath to protect, but that's not the first thing you think. The first thing you might think is, "man, I sure hope they catch whoever they're after", or I hope they get to that crime scene in enough time.
But just then, you see them stop at a traffic signal. Okay, now you're confused. Why dont they have their lights on and blow through? Theyre just sitting there, waiting for the light to turn green Is this what they do in an emergency? Not hardly. So the light changes and everyones off again. You reach the posted speed limit but the cop continues to pull away.
I followed one, one day and they ended up in a drive-thru.
So why do good cops go bad? Hmm, maybe its because theyre not worried about anyone writing them a citation. A sort of, perceived immunity to the law is my guess. But what happens if the average citizen does that? Well, down here in Florida you pay a hefty $180+ ticket.
To answer your question lawfully, the law specifically states that traffic law does NOT apply to emergency vehicles. It does not say anything about, "when in an emergency, the emergency vehicle can speed in excess amount over the limit." It states emergency vehicles are exempt.
NOW...I would say that most, if not all, jurisdictions have their own rules and regulations. This means that even though the law allows it, the dept says you can only run code under these circumstances....code 1 = normal driving. code 2= lights, siren, and only 10mph over the limit. code 3 = lights, siren, and 20mph over the limit. In the real world it is different. I'd love to tell you how it is, but wouldn't want to get in any situation by posting it up here.
Officer in trouble means you go balls to the wall. You still be careful because what good are you to the officer in trouble if you don't get there at all. Shooting, cuttings, robberies, etc. you go code3 to try to get the bad guy, preserve crime scene, protect individuals, get witnesses, etc, etc, etc.
There's so much that comes into play when running code. Someone could be running quite fast on the hwy today going to a shooting. They might not run lights or siren because traffic is light and it is easy to get around the few cars on the road. BUT, you have no idea just how many people out there don't know what the hell to do when red and blues are in their mirror. They want to hit the brakes first.....uh.....no. They want to pull over to the left shoulder.......uh.......no. They go crazy. There's a lot of times we should run code, but it isn't safe due to the high volume of traffic on the roads. It's very much a judgement call. You want to get home safe. We want you to get home safe. We don't want you to hit us and we sure as hell don't want to hit you. One thing I remember all the time is that when I'm in my police car, pretty much all eyes are on me.....which is the way it goes.
Now, speeding to get to a drive through? Hmmmmm....

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I've received my doctorate and now I'm a pharmacist working overnights at CVS. I dream of reviving my music career and dive back into rock stardom. I just bought a house and spend a good majority of my time working on it and taking care of my dog Lana. She is the most adorable thing on 4 legs. Fact.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Music.... Drums, guitar, piano... Many other instruments. I'm really good at finding optimism, and making people smile. I'm also really good at megaman (he's my hero) games, the old 8-bit nes ones of course. I like to do pub trivia, and have even won a few times.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My smart ass take crap from no one attitude!... oh! and my pretty blue eyes.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
This would be a long list if I actually listed everything. I enjoy sci-fi and British TV. Doctor Who, Star Trek, Stargate, Farscape, Firefly and Top Gear are on top of my list right now. I don't have cable and rely on netflix and the internet to get my fix. I enjoy most styles of music.. but preferably rock. My favorite bands are Van Halen, Anberlin, Journey, Huey Lewis, ELO, Billy Joel, Boston, Paramore...and a bunch more I'm sure.
I'll eat anything!
As far as books go... well I don't read much literature. I do read and oddly enjoy a lot of medical journals and articles. I frequent the newspaper and read a lot of online articles.

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
my hands, my sight/hearing, my friends, the internet, my sense of adventure, my guitar
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
It varies, I'm either at work, out with friends, a quiet night at home, or traveling
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm very self conscious about my receding hairline.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
If you think I'm cute, are cute yourself, have a great personality, like anything I like (which happens to be a lot of things), can teach me a thing or two, were a band geek, or just want to have an interesting conversation.

Medvezhiy Island (Russian: Медвежий остров Ostrov Medvezhiy) is a long, narrow island in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, the westernmost of the Shantar Islands. It is separated from the mainland by Shevchenko Straight.
Between 1855 and 1865, American whaleships anchored under Medvezhiy to obtain shelter from storms and retrieve wood. They also used it as a staging point to send out smaller whaleboats to capture whales in the Shantar Sea. These whales, in turn, would be towed back to the ship to be flensed and tried out into valuable oil. They called it Elbow Island.[1] The bark Phoenix (323 tons), of Nantucket, was wrecked on the island during a gale in the fall of 1858.[2] Six of the wrecked crew, including the captain, was retrieved by whaleboats from the ship Florida, of Fairhaven, on 13 June 1859. They had been living at a nearby settlement — seventeen other crew members had spent the winter on Medvezhiy.[3] The bark Ocean Wave (380 tons), of New Bedford, was also wrecked on the island on 12 October of the same year.[4]

In the second presidential debate, moderator Candy Crowley corrected Mitt Romney after he falsely claimed that President Obama had waited 14 days to describe the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of terror. In the two days after the debate, Fox News aired 55 segments, totaling more than four hours, that attempted to portray Obama's reference to "acts of terror" as a general statement or as referring to another incident.
Fox News cherry picked President Obama's comments to try to rehabilitate Mitt Romney's false suggestion during the debate that Obama had not referred to the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya as an act of terror.
On September 12, Obama said: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America." Obama also referred to the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror" while campaigning in Colorado on September 13 when he said: "To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished."
But in a report on Fox & Friends First, national correspondent Steve Centanni ignored Obama's September 13 statement. After airing Obama's September 12 comments, Centanni aired other statements in which the president referenced an anti-Islam video. Based on this skewed record, Centanni concluded that weeks later "the President was still talking about a response to the videos" rather than terrorism.
In addition to cherry picking of Obama comments to hide Obama's repeated reference to terrorism, Centanni's comments about the anti-Islam video is also dishonest.
There is no contradiction between Obama labeling the attack an "act of terror" and him discussing the anti-Islam video. A recent article by The New York Times reported that the consulate assailants said that they were "moved to act because of the video." Libyans "who witnessed the assault and know the attacks" also said the video was the catalyst for the attack.
Furthermore, State Department security officer Eric Nordstrom testified before Congress that the same extremist group that is suspected of targeting the U.S. consulate in Benghazi had previously attacked a Tunisian consulate in that city over "what they claimed was an anti-Islamic film."
Fox News has ignored the role of lax regulation in a multi-state meningitis outbreak that has killed at least 8 people and prompted a Center for Disease Control alert and voluntary recall from the manufacturer of a steroid treatment. The legal status of the medicine in question is murky, and is not subject to strict federal or state regulation. Last year, Fox ran a week-long campaign attacking government regulations, claiming that they would "expose how excessive laws are drowning American business." Fox News has a long track record of attacking government regulation.

Fox distorted President Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention to make it seem as though Obama attacked tax cuts. In fact, in that speech, Obama pointed out that he had put into place tax cuts for middle class families and small businesses, which experts say help the economy grow more than tax cuts for the wealthy.
Fox News and The Daily Caller are promoting the baseless charge that the Obama administration illegally ended a pension plan for workers at Delphi, an auto parts maker, because the workers weren't union members.
The Daily Caller alleges that emails it has obtained show that the Obama Treasury Department was the "driving force" behind the decision to end the Delphi pension plan, instead of the independent federal agency that insures pensions, called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC). And Fox News has made the same charge. But the emails show nothing of the sort.
The email exchanges come from PBGC employees in 2009, when the government-led rescue of the auto industry was being carried out.
In reality, the emails are so far removed from their context that it's impossible to draw definitive conclusions about them, but the Daily Caller does its best to fill in the blanks by doctoring quotes and ignoring inconvenient information.
Only one of the 16 emails comes from a Treasury Department employee, and it doesn't show pressure to terminate the Delphi pension. In fact, unions aren't mentioned at all in the emails.
Fox has devoted several segments to hyping the cooked-up story. For instance, today, Fox's Lauren Simonetti appeared on Fox & Friends First and claimed that "all along, Treasury and White House officials have claimed that the pension decisions were made by the independent Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Key officials even testified to that under oath. The emails recently obtained by The Daily Caller show that's not the case."
Previously, the Daily Caller reporter who wrote the story, Matthew Boyle, appeared on the August 7 edition of America Live to claim the emails "prove beyond a shadow of a doubt" that the "Obama administration political officials were the ones who ultimately made the decision, coercing the PBGC officials into terminating the pensions of these non-union workers."
Fox's Patti-Ann Brown adopted the discredited right-wing claim that voter ID laws like one recently passed in Pennsylvania are an "attempt to fight voter fraud." But experts have said that voter fraud is not an issue in the state, and a state lawmaker behind the push has acknowledged that it's part of an effort to elect Mitt Romney.
After hyping exaggerated claims about potential Keystone XL pipeline related jobs, Fox News is now simply inventing them. Fox is claiming that 114,000 U.S. veterans are heading north of the border to build the Canadian portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. In fact, the jobs are "not at all related to the Keystone pipeline," according to the company recruiting workers in Alberta, Canada.
Fox News got the story - and clearly did not check it - from Veterans of Foreign Wars, which sponsors the jobs-listing website, VetJobs, that partnered with the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation to advertise skilled-labor jobs available in Alberta. VFW's press release suggested the jobs would involve the Keystone XL pipeline, stating: "Though America's Keystone Pipeline is delayed, the Canadians are moving forward on their side of the border and have an immediate need for tens of thousands of workers." But in a phone conversation, VetJobs founder Ted Daywalt said he was not trying to imply that the jobs were related to the Keystone pipeline, and that media reports "jumped the gun."
The Federal Reserve released a study this week showing that Americans' net worth fell dramatically between 2007-10. However, while reporting on the study, Fox News hosts falsely claimed the decline occurred during the "last three years," even though it's clear the decline began two years before President Obama took office.
Right-wing media have attacked a contract between the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a public relations firm to raise awareness of health and preventive care opportunities as a "propaganda piece" for the health care law that "violates many of the procurement laws." But PR campaigns like this are nothing new; in fact, the Bush administration spent $1.6 billion dollars over a 30-month span promoting its policies.

Wolf-whistling or finger whistling is a type of whistling in which fingers are inserted in the mouth to produce a louder and more penetrating tone.
A wolf-whistle is a two-toned sound (like 'whip-woo') commonly made using the above technique to show high interest or approval of something or someone (originally a young girl or woman thought to be physically or sexually attractive).
The wolf-whistle originates from the navy General Call made with a boatswain's pipe. The general call is made on a ship to get the attention of all hands for an announcement. Sailors in harbour would whistle the general call when seeing a pretty woman to draw fellow sailors' attention to her. It was eventually picked up by passers-by, not knowing the real meaning of the whistle, and passed on. Today, in English-speaking countries, wolf-whistling is considered a form of sexual harassment.[1][2][3]
Although the "wolf-whistle" or "wolf-call" sound can be produced using a conventional whistling technique, a louder and more effective form is usually used.[citation needed] To produce a wolf-whistle, one or more fingers are inserted into the mouth to shape the opening, allowing a forceful stream of air to be blown through.
Generally, the more air forced through the mouth, the louder the whistle.

I'm an amazon vendor (not camera related) and they have messed up our prices more than once. Like we sold things at ten cents on the dollar. They/we fixed it and they assumed the financial burden for their invasive mistake (without fanfare). I'd wager this is such an example.

Boston Marathon invites stopped runners back
Updated: May 16, 2013, 12:38 PM ETAssociated Press
BOSTON -- Boston Marathon runners who were stopped on the course when bombs went off at the finish line will have a chance to come back and run again next year, race organizers said on Thursday.
One month and one day after the April 15 explosions that killed three people and wounded hundreds more, the Boston Athletic Association said that 5,633 people who were stopped on the second half of the course when the race was shut down at 2:50 p.m. will be allowed to register early for next year's ...

Picture: Justin Bieber Justin Bieber performs at the AT&T Center as part of his Believe tour Featuring: Justin Bieber Where: San Antonio, Texas, United States...
Justin Bieber's aides have denied reports the pop star spat Gatorade into a hotel gym user's water bottle.
Radio host Colette Harrington claims she was working out at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel gym in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday (22Jan13) when Bieber entered with a trainer and a dancer.
Harrington plucked up courage to ask the pop star for an autograph but he refused. She then claims the Baby singer and his pals mocked her throughout her workout and one of the trio spat Gatorade into her water when she wasn't looking.
The radio presenter tells Tmz.com, "I always count out loud my reps. Then Justin starts imitating me and whenever I'd get to 20 he and his buddy would say, 'Shut the f**k up'."
Harrington filed a complaint with the hotel after the alleged incident, but bosses there refused to confirm or deny her story.
And Bieber's representative tells the website that the accuser has her facts all wrong, stating that the singer and his trainer were in the gym, and they were making snide comments - but not addressed at her or her work-out routine.

this is a funny thread! I took Japanese in middleschool and high school and since it was such a small program there were only like 7 kids per class and we all knew each other well. My group was always sent to work in the library and we were all sitting around shooting the shit.(no pun intended) I remember I was sitting w/ my legs up on the desk and out the fart jumped. I had no sign it was coming. It was so embarassing. Then I went under the desk and died.

I dodn't get MAAH, because og the confetti-thing. But it does look great on swatches I've seen, it's just not me … AA, on the other hand; that's a beauty.
OPI – Mad as a Hatter & Absolutely Alice
I know, you've already seen them both at least thousand times, but anyway … Here they are … like it or not.
I have no idea, how could Mad as a Hatter win so many hearts. I mean, I love it too, but it's such a confetti and carnival polish. It is full of multicolored glitter in a clear base.
And that's how it looks layered over different bases …
And here is a real beauty and my absolute favourite … Absolutely Alice. I love her! Blue and yellow-gold glitter in a clear base. The glitter in AA is smaller than in MAAH.
Alone and layered over Rival de Loop – 10.
Absolutely Alice – 3 coats
1 coat of Absolutely Alice over 3 coats of Rival de Loop – 10
Yes, I know: glitter + removal = a nightmare. A little hint: Use acetone based remover for removing glitter polishes. It works better and faster than a non-acetone remover. I like Zoya – Remove+ and Ebelin – the blue one.
Thanks for reading!

Consent is permission or agreement for something to happen. A person may withdraw consent at any time. Consent should always be knowing, voluntary, and given without coercion. The absence of "no" does not equal consent.
Consent "is a dialogue about desires, needs, and level of comfort with different sexual interactions. Healthy sexual interactions are rooted in consent and respect" (NSVRC, 2012).
Consent cannot be give if…
- A person is incapacitated or unconscious because of drugs or alcohol
- A person is under the state specific legal age of consent
- An individual has a cognitive or mental disability severe enough to make them incapable of consenting
Your partner does NOT consent if:
- Your partner says, "No." "No" means that you do not have consent
- You have to hold your partner down to have a sexual interaction
These actions by your partner might indicate they do not consent:
- Pushing you away
- Struggling against attempted sexual interactions
- Pulling their clothes back on
- Covering up their body
- Wincing from sexual interactions
You do not have consent just because:
- Your partner is silent
- You have had sexual interactions with your partner before
- You always have the right to say no.
- Sex or sexual interactions are never owed to anyone for any reason.
- Even if consent has been given, you always have the right to change your mind.
- Pursuing sexual interactions with an individual who is incapacitated due to drugs or alcohol is rape.
- If you have sexual interactions with someone without their consent, consequences can include: criminal prosecution and imprisonment, being banned from university property for life, expulsion as a student, termination of employment, and loss of every opportunity and service offered by the University.
