We couldn't find any jobs that match your search for "experienced non manager administrative clerical purchasing manager, wilmington, delaware"
But don't give up – try one of these search tips:
- Use a more general job title or description. For example, "Sales" instead of "Sales Lead"
- Widen your search. For example, "Boston" instead of "02116"
- Check your spelling!

Nike Celebrates Air Max Day
Nike christened a new holiday this year by naming 3/26 as "Air Max Day". The day in March marked the first launch of the Nike Air Max 1 back in 1987. This first celebration of the date resulted in a huge social media push and a huge number of Air Maxes on the street for the special day – but was the coinciding Air Max 1 release just a little bit of a let down?

fall and summer even spring lot better then winter between the 11s 3s 14 and the lj 11 low lineup around the corner
why cant news of a restock get out fast
Kingsley Castillo fall 2014 drops... im eyeing the 3 in top row
I am glad Nike (and hopefully others) did the capatcha thing. There was no reason why I couldn't get the kicks I wanted online (was able to get it all the other times).
Those AJ14's Ferrari's need to come out way before Fall but I wait (lets hope they implement that capatcha thing for that release), also hope for another "carbon" release for the AJ 14's (BRED's carbon please)
And Nike and other sites need to stop announcing restocks... well ok, announce it but sometimes it was just fun t go back to the site and it had a restock

I Am a Runner - And I Am Possessed!!!!
Thursday, December 20, 2012
Before you read any further, remember that I am the person who didn't have the energy to get from the car to the couch after work, and I could barely muster the strength to pick a place, check the menu, and call in an order for delivery for dinner, much less shop and cook - just a year ago . . . .
Yesterday, I got a call at work a little after three from my dermatologist's office - saying that I was missing my appointment - I had forgotten all about it. She said they could fit me in a little later. I had been messaging with a friend online and it was in her neighborhood, so I asked if she wanted to get coffee after my appointment. She said yes, so I headed over, got to my appointment on time, and then met Allyson for coffee. We talked for over an hour!! It was pushing 6:00 when I left to go home. Probably just as well. If I had left Reston at 5:00 I would have gotten home at about the same time as leaving at 6:00.
I got home a little after 6:30 and got ready to run. I was supposed to take my friend Linda to pick up her car from the shop and I called to see if she wanted to go now or after my run. She said after, so I headed out. And I ran. From my front door, back to my front door!!! It was a little over a 5K loop and I ran the whole thing without stopping!!!! FORTY-SIX minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that was Week 9, Day 1 of Couch to 5K (only two more workouts to go before I'm officially done - but who's counting?). I was supposed to run for thirty minutes - which I did - and then some more. :-D
I walked for awhile more to cool down, went back to the house and headed over to pick up Linda. I dropped her off at her car and then went to pick up some groceries. THEN I went home and cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen!
I went to sleep around 10 and I think I slept pretty hard, but I was up at 3:30. A.M. :-/ I wasn't just up (awake but exhausted), I was AWAKE. So I got up around 4:00 a.m. and spent a little over two hours sorting through the pile of stuff that had accumulated in my work room. And I got it pretty much all done! MIRACLE! That was a job that I thought would take me at least one whole day of my vacation. So checking it off the list and getting on to other stuff!!!
And now I'm at work and figure I'll be ready to pack it in by around 10:00 a.m. But I already "accomplished more before breakfast than most people will do all day . . . ."
If I can stay awake for it, I'll try to do another 5K tonight. Maybe just walking, maybe some running. Will just have to see how I feel. :-D

I remember that very first time I felt like I was a runner and an athlete. It's a great feeling.
When I leave for work in the morning and look at the clock in my car I always think, wow I've been up almost 2 hours and I ran 3 miles already today and it's not even 7 AM!
You're doing fabulous!

Summary:11-year-old Amanda and 16-year-old Laurel are motherless sisters who have reunited after running away from separate foster homes. The outwardly tough "Lo" believes she's always right when she's almost always wrong. "Manny," the more logical sister, ignores her own firm grasp of reality in order to stand by Lo. Driving from town to town in a station wagon, shoplifting from convenience stores, and spending the night in unoccupied model homes, they eke out a precarious life on the road. However, even the most resourceful children hit stumbling blocks. So when Lo finds herself pregnant, she convinces her sister to aid her in taking a hostage. The hostage in question, Elaine, is a maternity shop ... Full Summary >>


text: Citizens Efficiency Commission of Sangamon County How Efficient Can Government Be? By Sean Crawford • Feb 3, 2014 Last month, a local panel put together a list of recommendations designed to make Sangamon County governmental units work better and, in some cases, save money. Voters helped create the Citizens' Efficiency Commission of Sangamon County through an earlier referendum. They have another chance to keep the effort going in the March election.

Awww...Tink thank you! You're too kind (seriously, TOO kind)
LOL, funny you should say that though (about Jon)...as at the moment I am without my engagement ring
I had to drop it off at the jewelry story this afternoon to have it resized and, although when Jon first gave it to me they sized it while I waited, this time it's going to be nearly a week before it's ready to be picked up! He's been teasing me all day, asking me who I'm trying to pick up :wink:
I finally convinced him it was Emmett :wink:


text: I bought this used Burley Limbo that I like a lot, except for the suspension shock and seat height. I tried dialing up the stiffness on the shock but it still bouces and the seat is several inches too high. I think a shorter shock would lower the seat and give me more adjustment options. Or could I replace the shock with a single metal rod with adjustment holes?

Scandalous Images from Kabul: Guards at US Embassy Organized Humiliating Sex Games
Photos of embassy guards holding sex parties in Kabul have caused a stir in Washington. Some of the men involved claim they were forced to participate by their supervisors at the ArmorGroup security firm. The scandal could yet again call into question the role of private contractors in US military missions.
There are 12 photographs in all and what they depict amounts to the worst kind of déja-vu. Images that once again document how a civilized society can go off the rails in times of war, just like it did at Abu Ghraib. Photographs that make one think that this cannot still be possible. Not in Afghanistan, not in Iraq.
'A Security Threat to the Embassy'
The US State Department has handed over security at the US embassy in Kabul to a private company, ArmorGroup North America. The company has been protecting the almost 1,000 US diplomats, embassy personnel and Afghan employees for years. The contract is worth $180 million (126 million) a year; and despite complaints about ArmorGroup's unreliability, the US government renewed the contract in July of this year. The company, which is owned by Wackenhut Services, has so far declined to comment on the complaints.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received a 10-page letter from POGO, which it also published on its Web site on Tuesday, that outlines the events at Camp Sullivan and the embassy. The organization also released the 12 photographs.
"After extensive interviews with eyewitnesses, and examination of documents, photographs, videos and emails," the organization wrote to Clinton, "POGO believes that the management of the contract to protect the US Embassy Kabul is grossly deficient, posing a significant threat to the security of the embassy and its personnel -- and thereby to the diplomatic mission in Afghanistan."
Around 450 security personnel are assigned to the embassy and all of them live at Camp Sullivan, where the sex parties took place. More than a dozen guards have made complaints about their supervisors to POGO and one of them gave an anonymous telephone interview with American broadcaster ABC.
This was not an isolated incident, the letter to Clinton emphasized. "These are events (that) took place over the past year and a half and were ignored by the leadership at the cost of the well-being of countless guard force members." The "deviant hazing" occurred on a near-weekly basis. One e-mail from a current guard described situations in which guards and supervisors were "peeing on people, eating potato chips out of (buttock) cracks," scenes that were also recorded on video.
An Afghan national who works in the dining hall at Camp Sullivan submitted a signed statement to POGO in which he described how a guard had grabbed him and said: "You are very good for fucking." The man was accompanied by four other men and all were only wearing short underwear and carrying bottles of alcohol. The man said he was too afraid of them to say anything.
'Climate of Fear'
The eyewitnesses said that the ArmorGroup management had long known about what was going on and that nothing was done to stop it. In all around 30 supervisors and guards are alleged to have been the instigators of the sex parties. According to POGO, this had resulted in "complete distrust of leadership and a breakdown of the chain of command, compromising security." Multiple guards said that it had created a "climate of fear and coercion."
Prostitutes were also brought into the camp, which may have compromised security. Some of the guards expressed concern about a kind of cowboy mission that took place in May 2009 when 18 guards dressed as Afghans took weapons and night vision goggles and hid in abandoned buildings in Kabul. "They were living out some sort of delusion," one of the whistleblower guards told The Washington Post, in comments published on Wednesday.
The US State Department has now said it is taking the claims very seriously. "The secretary and the department have made it clear that we will have zero tolerance for the type of conduct that is alleged in these documents," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
In its letter, POGO advised the US government to consider requiring military supervision of private security contractors. A recent Congressional Research Service report found that, as of March, there were 52,300 US military personnel and 68,200 private contractors in Afghanistan. This "apparently represented the highest recorded percentage of contractors used by the DOD (Department of Defense) in any conflict in the history of the United States," the report said.
It looks, however, as if there may soon be fewer contractors working for the US in Afghanistan -- at least at Camp Sullivan.

Role player Gian Abrigo, benched for the first three quarters, was sent in the ballgame as a wildcard as an alternative for the erratic small forwards of Adamson University.
To the surprise of De La Salle University, the braided defensive specialist relentlessly attacked the Adamson basket against the defense of their elite players Jeron Teng, Norbert Torres, and Jason Perkins, scoring ten points in the final period and sparking a 21-4 insurrection coming to the final seconds.
Erstwhile down by 17 and later trimmed to two, 65-67, in the final 40 seconds, the unfortunate happened for the late game hero.
Jockeying for position against Torres in a La Salle sideline inbound at the 16 second mark, a whistle blew and referee Francisco Olivar signaled for a foul against Abrigo.
Replays showed an apparent elbow from Abrigo against his burly foe, who did not flinch an inch in the purported contact. Olivar called it an unsportsmanlike foul against Abrigo. Torres swished his freebies, and split his subsequent free throws, as his Green Archers escaped with a 70-67 victory.
The green side sighed–another last quarter breakdown and this time, it was averted by that call and their made free throws. The blue side broke down in anger, sarcastically clapping Olivar as their crowd chanted in unison that the game, in their view, was rigged.
Indeed, it must have been a secured win for La Salle from the very beginning. They were up by as much as 17 in the second, third, and fourth. Six of their best players scored in spurts to negate Adamson's run.
The Falcons tried their best to trim down the lead in the first three quarters. Celedonio Trollano, Jr. hustled for his points in the first quarter, big men Rodney Brondial and Ingrid Sewa shared inside scoring in the second, and Roider Cabrera fired seven points in the third but the lead was still at double digits coming in the fourth.
But the insertion of Abrigo pumped life for the comatosed Falcons.
Accompanied by a ragtag five that included third string point guard Axel Inigo and Trollano, Abrigo showed moves he's never shown before in an actual game, unnerving the Green Archer defense. His energy infected Inigo, Trollano, and star player Jericho Cruz, as the quarter attacked the basket from all angles.
After Abrigo trickled in his two free throws at the 1:20 mark, the game was suddenly tied at 65. But the breaks of the game turned its back against the upsurging Falcons. As a result, both teams are now tied at 3-3 in a logjam with the University of the East and National University.
As expected, Adamson head coach Leo Austria dubbed Olivar's call as a "bad judgment" on his part. On the other hand, La Salle head coach Juno Sauler in his normal monotone accepted that win as it is.

The game reaffirmed the popular perception that this season's UAAP hoops action is an open race. A wild storm is on the horizon for collegiate basketball this coming weekend.
UST grabs fourth win, keeps UP at the bottom
In the first game, the undermanned University of Santo Tomas five did their experimentation and paced their fatigued stars as last season's runners-up thumped the winless and short-handed University of the Philippines, 79-69.
The Growling Tigers were lifted by their star frontline Kevin Ferrer, Karim Abdul, and Aljon Mariano in the first three quarters and in the final canto, spitfire Clark Bautista did his thing, firing ten of his 12 points in the quarter.
"Tine-testing natin kung sinong pwedeng makatulong sa mga starters namin," said UST head coach Pido Jarencio after the game. "Sakto yung pagputok ni Tata (Bautista) para may kompyansa sya against sa Ateneo."
The Tigers, who currently stand at 4-2, are now at solo second place. They were led by Mariano with 18 points, Ferrer with 16 points and ten rebounds, and Abdul with 14 points and eight boards.
The Maroons (0-6), playing without starting center and leading rebounder Raul Soyud due to a one-game suspension, were led by the solo scoring effort of Sam Marata, who scored 16 points.

OTHER SMALL THUNDER CELLS ARE TRACKING SOUTHEAST ACROSS FAR NORTHERN WY. IN ADDITION...CONVECTION IS FORMING OVER OUR FAVORED CONVERGENT ZONES OVER SOUTH PASS AND WASHAKIE NEEDLES IN THE OWL CREEK MTNS. INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO SLOWLY INCREASE ACROSS THE CWA. THE WET BULB ZERO WILL LIKELY BE LOW ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SMALL HAIL FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE SOUTHEAST BOUND CELLS TO THE NORTH APPEAR TO BE MORE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIRCULATION OVER THE NORTH DAKOTA MONTANA BORDER. IN FACT, IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCE OF T STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA BUT THEY COULD OCCUR ANYWHERE WITH LOW GRADE INSTABILITY BECOMING ESTABLISHED. HIGH AND MIDDLE DEBRIS CLOUDS STREAMING NORTH FROM THE TIGHTLY WOUND CIRCULATION OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ENOUGH TO RETARD ANY CONVECTION OVER OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES THAT DO FORM. SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT THE NORTHERN STREAM STORMS ARE PACKING AN ABUNDANCE OF WIND AS NOTED BY THE UNIMPRESSIVE T STORMS TRACKING SOUTHEAST ACROSS LOVELL WHERE A 50 MPH WIND HAS ALREADY BEEN NOTED. WILL KEEP SCT POPS THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE SNOW LEVEL SHOULD DROP AS LOW AS 7500 FEET IN THE NORTHERN MTNS THROUGH THIS EVENING AS COOLER AIR CONTINUES TO CIRCULATE AROUND THE NORTHERN PLAINS LOW. THEN ON FRIDAY WILL KEEP MAINLY SCT POPS AROUND THE CWA ALTHOUGH ANY AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN RATHER TAME CONSIDERING THE WEAK RIDGING AND RESULTANT WARMING ALOFT SO WILL NOT MENTION ANY SMALL HAIL FOR NOW.

THEN SUNDAY SHOULD STAND OUT AS THE WARMEST AND DRIEST DAY OF THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS HEIGHTS RISE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING BRITISH COLUMBIA TROUGH WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE OUR NEXT ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND COOLING AND WETTING EVENT THAT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. MORE ON THIS FROM OUR LONG TERM FORECAST. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THROUGH THURSDAY Synopsis...Sunday will be the least active and mildest day over the holiday weekend with mainly isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms across the south and west. A cold front will push across the area on Memorial Day spreading more numerous showers and thunderstorms across the area with isolated strong to severe thunderstorms possible across the north and central. A cool and unsettled northwest flow will follow this system on Tuesday with several inches of snow possible across the northern mountains and Yellowstone National Park Monday night and Tuesday morning. A ridge of high pressure will bring drier and warmer weather to the area by Thursday. Discussion...Omega-type block with upper high over Alaska and trough across western Canada and the northwest U.S. is expected to breakdown Sunday and Memorial Day, dislodging the trough across the northern Rockies on Memorial Day. GFS and ECMWF still show differences for Memorial Day. However, the GFS has trended toward the ECMWF solution of moving the upper low through Montana Memorial Day and night and into the Northern Plains by late Tuesday. After a relatively pleasant day Sunday, upper trough is dislodged from western Canada and translates the Northern Rockies Memorial Day. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to spread into the west during the morning. Depending on timing, if this strong upper trough crosses the area during maximum heating Monday afternoon, we could see some strong to severe thunderstorms develop, especially across north and central Wyoming. At this time, it would appear there will be enough surface heating across the lower elevations east of the Divide to generate more robust and widespread convection. ECMWF has trended colder behind the trough passage Monday night and Tuesday with H7 temperatures of 0 to -2C across the north, with the GFS showing the coldest air of -3C across Yellowstone National Park. This would bring snow levels down to near 7000 feet with accumulating snow possible in the northern and northwest mountains. Upper ridge is expected to slowly progress into the area Wednesday with drier and warmer air pushing into southwest Wyoming. Coolest air and best chance for convection will be across north-central Wyoming in the vicinity of the upper low over the Dakotas. Temperatures across the region will be continue to rise and conditions turn drier Thursday and Friday as ridge sets-up over the forecast area. Temperatures 5-10F above normal are anticipated both days. && .AVIATION.../00Z ISSUANCE/ West of the Continental Divide...KJAC/KRKS/KPNA/KBPI Routes Cyclonic flow around upper low in western South Dakota will keep west-northwest flow across the region Thursday afternoon and tonight. While the best moisture and instability will be east of the Divide, there is still enough residual moisture to generate scattered showers and thunderstorms through 03Z/Friday. Convection will be primarily diurnal in nature. VFR conditions will prEVAIL through at least 06Z/Friday. Other than surface wind gusts in excess of 30kts with convection, surface winds will be less than 12kts from the west-to-northwest. Weak frontal boundary will slide southwest across KRKS this evening. This will produce lowering ceilings, still VFR, and a chance of light showers. Expect areas of IFR/MVFR ceilings in the far west valleys again tonight between 10Z- 15Z/Friday. This will produce localized obscurations of the foothills at KJAC and in the Star Valley. All terminals will be VFR after 15Z/Friday. Gusty west-northwest wind 14-22kts expected after 19Z/Friday with drier air working into western Wyoming. KJAC will see southerly wind of 10-20kts. Convection should be less widespread. East of the Continental Divide...KCPR/KCOD/KRIW/KWRL/KLND Routes Cyclonic flow around upper low in western South Dakota will keep west-northwest flow across the region Thursday afternoon and tonight. Already ongoing convection north of a KLND-KCPR with the bulk over the Big Horn Basin. Weak frontal boundary has also pushed south to around this KLND-KCPR line with light north wind in its wake. Expect most robust and widespread convection within this region through 03Z/Friday. Best insTAiability will be along an axis from KCOD- KWRL- KCPR. Convection will weaken but continue through 06Z- 09Z/Friday, particularly across northern Wyoming. Terminals are expected to remain VFR, with the best chance of MVFR VISIBILITY with convection at KCOD-KWRL-KCPR. Occasional mountain top obscurations are likely later Thursday afternoon into the evening hours. Much of the same diurnal convection is expected after 19Z/Friday. Weak northeast flow will aid convective development in the vicinity of KCPR, while KCOD and KLND will be assisted because of proximity to the foothills. Convection will be least likely at KWRL and KRIW. && .FIRE WEATHER... SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAKE PLACE MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF WYOMING THROUGH THIS EVENING. THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE BRIEF GUSTS OF OVER 50 MPH. SNOW LEVELS COULD BE AS LOW AS 7500 FEET LATER THIS EVENING IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

Bedlam was not epic of years past, but it was good entertainment
NORMAN – Eddie Sutton and Billy Tubbs sat in floor seats Wednesday night at Lloyd Noble Center. Even shared a pre-game chat.
Then the beleaguered Bedlam basketball teams staged a tribute game to those landmark coaches who changed basketball in this great state.
Sutton defense ruled the first half. BillyBall offense reigned in the second half. And the Sooners produced the better brand of both.
OU bounced OSU 77-64 in a bragging-rights game that won't change the course of either dismal season but ended up reasonably high on the entertainment scale.
The Sooners blew out the Cowboys early and late. But in the middle, these teams almost lived up to the series name. Kooky, I suppose, but not atypical for teams that really haven't figured out who they are.
OU's defense embarrassed the Cowboys in the first half. There really is no other way to say it.
The Sooners led 30-12 at halftime; OSU made just four of 24 shots in the first half.
The toughness that Lon Kruger says his team has been lacking most definitely was not lacking Wednesday night.
"We had the defensive intensity every possession," said OU's C.J. Washington. "Kept them out of transition. And we were ready. That's a big key for us. So many possessions, we're not ready."
The Sooners smothered OSU sharpshooter Keiton Page with Cameron Clark's initial hounding and perimeter switches. Fresh off a 40-point game against Texas, Page made just one of eight shots in the first half.
You wondered if the Cowboys would get to 30. Wondered if that bus trip back to Stillwater would be the longest 89 miles in the history of motor transport.
"I don't think we could have gotten any more passive than we were" in the first half, said OSU coach Travis Ford. "They were physically tough on us. They took away our first and second options, and stood around after that."
Then the Cowboys scored 27 points the first seven minutes of the second half. That's a pace not seen on this court since the Tubbs days.
State turned aggressive. Attacked the rim and swished the deep ball. Page got hot – he finished with 29 points on 9-of-21 shooting. Markel Brown played much more determined; the Cowboys are learning that for any kind of success, they have to have Brown heavily involved.
This was a little like those blowout OSU losses at Kansas and Missouri, where the Cowboys were jackhammered in the first half, only to come out and play a representative second half. Except these Sooners aren't KU or Mizzou.
The Cowboys made this second half much more than representative. A game that seemed over suddenly wasn't. After Page's 3-pointer brought the Cowboys within 42-39, OSU got two straight defensive stops and chances to tie.
Page's 3-point shot looked good but rimmed out. Brian Williams' 3-point liner bounced off.
And burst went the bubble. OU's Romero Osby bulled in for a basket to stop the run.
"You fight that hard … then they scored, our shoulders slumped," Ford said. "That took a lot out of us."
Soon enough, the Sooners were back in control.
OSU's cold shooting returned. Missed six of seven shots; only Page stayed hot.
Only Page and the Sooners. Given the reprieve from blowing an 18-point halftime lead, OU played efficient offense the rest of the way.
Osby's basket started a run. OU scored on nine straight possessions and 18 of its remaining 21 possessions. OU made 14 of its last 19 shots.
Kruger said OSU's defense down the stretch had to gamble. The Cowboys trapped and extended out, looking for steals. "I thought our guys handled those situations really well," Kruger said. "Got easy baskets late."
Not much has come easy for these Sooners. They had lost six straight, settling into ninth place in the Big 12. Worse yet, they had lost focus.
The Sooners found some of that focus in the first half. Maybe it was desperation time.
In the Lloyd Noble tunnel after the game, OU's Sam Grooms approached Ford, who had tried to recruit the point guard to OSU.
They greeted each other, and Grooms said, "Oh, coach, we needed this one really bad."
The Sooners played like it, on a night with a result that had to please Tubbs and a style that had to make even Sutton proud.

Government health officials say only a fraction of the people who need flu shots the most are getting them. Their figures show just one in five babies and toddlers are getting flu vaccines.
The warning comes from officials who say they are worried a string of mild flu seasons and confusion over vaccines in recent years are deterring people from a simple lifesaver.
Manufacturers expect to ship more than 130 million doses of flu vaccine in coming months. And, officials say it's not too late to get vaccinated later, in the winter.
The flu kills about 36,000 Americans a year, and lands about 200,000 in the hospital.
Vaccines are recommended especially for anyone over 50 or under 5, and people with asthma, heart disease and other chronic illnesses; pregnant women; and anyone who comes in close contact with high-risk patients.
Guidelines for young children:
-- need two doses a month apart the first year they're inoculated
-- only 21 percent of those from ages 6 months to 2 years fully vaccinated
-- only about one in 10 who needed two doses got both
(if young child missed second dose last year, recommended that it's made up this year with two shots)
Who gets it:
-- 69 percent of people older than 64
-- one-third of 50- to 64-year-olds
-- 30 percent of younger adults at higher risk from underlying illnesses
CDC vaccination goal by 2010:
-- 90 percent of senior citizens
-- 60 percent of younger adults at high risk from flu

A Garden Full of Axes
It's been a long, slow slog toward success for Atlanta-based O'Brother. The quintet released its first EP in 2006 and a second three years later. Its new "Garden Window" (Triple Crown) is its first full-length album. The title is misleading: O'Brother doesn't make gentle music suitable for contemplating nature. It detonates a brutalizing blend of industrial rock, alt-metal and metal featuring a three-guitar attack and the savvy, limber work of drummer Michael Martens. O'Brother's strength is the cohesion of its rhythm section; Mr. Martens and brothers Anton and Johnny Dang, who play bass and guitar, respectively, have been together for 14 years. Tanner Merritt, who sings and plays guitar, and guitarist Aaron Wamack came on board when O'Brother retooled in 2008.
"When Tanner joined, it was the first time any of us were in a band with three guitars," Mr. Martens said by phone. "We didn't want the music to be too muddy."
Flooding the midrange with guitars under the vocals can generate a plodding thickness, but O'Brother addresses the issue by allowing Mr. Wamack to toy with textures and play sparingly while Johnny Dang solos, thus creating in some numbers an appealing sense of space. Sharp-edged feedback splinters into the upper range—you would think it might saw off Mr. Merritt's head while he's singing up there—but the group will deploy a baritone guitar to fill the spectrum between guitar and bass. Mr. Martens and bassist Anton Dang hold it all together.
In the six-minute song "Bear," O'Brother relies on texture rather than volume and dynamics for its threatening ambiance. Mr. Merritt sings the quiet rock ballad "Last Breath" accompanied by a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, including one that sounds like a pipa, that begin to dart around each other in increasingly complex patterns while the song unfolds. "Sputnik," on the other hand, is about power, but Mr. Martens lets the guitars handle the pounding while he plays little figures that add color and intrigue. "Malum" is a blast of industrial noise; Mr. Martens uses the cymbals and drum rims to mitigate the rawness.
"I tried with 'Garden' to be more purposeful, but not out of obligation," Mr. Martens said. "Working with Johnny and Anton for 14 years, we can sit down and make sure we have the full rhythm section in mind when we're playing."
Given the time it takes between recordings, O'Brother can strategize while working out arrangements. With "Malum," for example, Mr. Martens said, "We wanted it to be in your face, but tribal. We wanted a more percussive feel, but we wanted it big."
"Cleanse Me," which runs just short of 14 minutes, was once much longer. "Aaron had a series of guitar parts," Mr. Merritt recalled. "There was some really cool stuff in there. We said: 'Let's try to structure it.' Once I put a melody and lyrics to it, it had a better flow."
O'Brother plays about 200 shows a year, mostly in the Southeast. (The band will test the effectiveness of its raging music on a national tour beginning Feb. 16 in Washington, D.C.) On occasion, it will try out material on stage that has been recorded in preliminary form and let the songs morph into something different—especially the ones that were cobbled together in the studio—once the audience energizes a band and encourages it to stretch.
"With 'Malum' and 'Last Breath,'" Mr. Martens said, "we had no idea what we were going to do with them live." Mr. Merritt added that all the songs of "Garden Window" that were tested on stage were ultimately altered, the result not of discussion but of the kind of intuition a longstanding group can develop. "We never verbally acknowledge a change in direction," he said.
Every band has its faults, and O'Brother's might be that it plays a variety of musical styles within the genre's frame. The guitars' sound and Mr. Martens's never-dull work bridge the various tracks, but Mr. Merritt will sing one song in falsetto, another with a Cookie Monster belch, and yet another with throaty rawness. As Mr. Merritt conceded, "Our new album is all over the place." Some listeners might enjoy the adventure of jumping about; others may find it distracting. Nonetheless, "Garden Window" is an album that works, not only as a recording, but as an enticement to see the band in concert.

Peach Melba is fitting summer send-off
I love this time of year as fall approaches: We say goodbye to peaches and hello to apples as we shift into autumn. Shorter days promise cooler weather and deliver seasonal pleasures like nuts, fruits and vegetables.
I'll miss those beautiful peaches we've enjoyed this summer, so I decided a special dessert was needed for a proper goodbye. Peach Melba is perfect, and there's a story to savor along with it.
Peach Melba can be super fancy or quite simple with only three main ingredients: vanilla ice cream, fresh peaches and fresh or frozen raspberries. Various recipes have been floating around since the great chef Auguste Escoffier created the original more than a hundred years ago to honor the celebrated Australian opera star Nellie Melba. She stayed at the Savoy Hotel during her London appearance at the time Escoffier worked in the hotel's restaurant.
Loving the peach and raspberry pairing, I began experimenting with my own versions of the recipe years ago. Using frozen raspberries for the sauce, I added the raspberry liqueur Chambord to my version. Pushing the blended thawed raspberries through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds took a little time. The intensely flavored liqueur made a beautiful finish to the simple remaining puree.
I experimented with a number of fruit and liqueur combinations and even splashed a bit of peach brandy over the poached peaches, hoping to also intensify their flavor. The result left the peaches and raspberries in competition rather than complementing one another. I stuck with just infusing the sauce with the raspberry liqueur. I thought it was the ultimate addition to Peach Melba — until I recently made a discovery.
The folks who make Grand Marnier cognac have produced a lovely new signature collection blend (No. 2) Grand Marnier Raspberry Peach, combining raspberries and rare red peaches from the South of France with their famous Grand Marnier orange essence. I put a teaspoon in the hollow left in each peach half after removing the seed. It was spectacular and just right for an adults-only dessert.
This golden pink-tinged liquid is great for sipping like most brandy, but the marriage of peaches and raspberries is a unique pour reminiscent of Peach Melba.
The $40 price tag on this cognac is a little scary, but it has multiple uses as a flavoring, a tonic for a cold, a mixer for cocktails and recipes, or just a great night cap.
If you prefer to enjoy the dish without the alcohol, I recommend premium peach syrup from the Amoretti Co. You will find recipes for this syrup at amoretti.com.
Exquisite rivulets of Chambord-infused raspberry sauce over creamy vanilla ice cream and poached peaches — be still my heart. Thank you Escoffier and Nellie Melba for your inspiration.
Peach Melba
4 peaches, ripe but firm if possible
Water in saucepan to cover peaches
Ice water
Grand Marnier Signature Collection Blend (No. 2) Raspberry Peach (optional)
¼ cup sugar or peach syrup
1 pint vanilla ice cream (homemade is best)
1 (12-ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
½ cup seedless raspberry jam, or substitute an extra ½ cup of sugar
2 tablespoons Chambord Raspberry Liqueur
Slivered almonds for garnish (optional)
Fruit-Fresh or lemon juice
• Fill a large saucepan with enough water to completely submerge peaches, and bring to a boil.
• Prepare a large pan or bowl of ice water while waiting for water to boil.
• Using a slotted spoon, carefully place washed peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute.
• Using the slotted spoon again, carefully remove the peaches from the boiling water, quickly submerging them into the ice water to cool. Allow peaches to stay in water to completely cool them.
• Take each peach out of the ice water, gently pushing on skin to slide it away from the flesh. Discard the skin. Repeat the process.
• Cut peaches in half at natural dividing line. Remove seeds and place peaches in a bowl. Sprinkle with Fruit-Fresh or lemon juice. Move them around gently with your fingers to thoroughly coat the flesh.
• Optional: Place cut and peeled peach halves cut-side up in a shallow dish. Spoon 1 teaspoon of Grand Marnier Cognac No. 2 Raspberry Peach in each well where pit was removed. Sprinkle with sugar or peach syrup. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to thoroughly cool, allowing cognac and other ingredients to permeate the peaches while preparing raspberry sauce. Keep peaches covered until ready to serve.
• Thaw raspberries.
• Place raspberries with juices in blender container.
• Add jam or sugar, and process until smooth.
• Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer using a soft spatula to push pureed raspberry mixture through separating seeds.
• Add raspberry liqueur to the remaining raspberry puree if desired.
• Chill thoroughly.
• Place a large scoop of ice cream in each dish, and add 2 peach halves.
• Drizzle each with about ¼ cup of sauce.
• Garnish with a few slivered almonds.
• Serve at once.

The Italian Job (2003)
Plot Summary
Led by John Bridger (Donald Sutherland) and Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) a team is assembled for one last heist to steal $35 million in gold bars from a heavily guarded safe in Venice, Italy. After successfully pulling off the heist, a team member, Steve (Edward Norton), driven by greed and jealousy, arranges to take the gold for himself and eliminate the remaining members of the group. Thinking the team dead, he returns to L.A. with the gold. Charlie and the survivors of this betrayal follow Steve L.A. to exact revenge against the traitor. Charlie enlists the help of John Bridger's daughter, Stella (Charlize Theron) - a professional safe cracker, to get revenge. With Stella and the hacking skills of Lyle (Seth Green), the explosives skills of "Left Ear" (Yasiin Bey), and the driving skills of "Handsome" Rob (Jason Statham) this new team plans and executes a daring heist that weaves through the freeways and subways of L.A.- Written by CKnapp
A gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker, create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears.- Written by Mark Cameron
After Charlie and his crew pull off a picture perfect heist of tens of millions of dollars worth of gold in Venice, Italy they must overcome the betrayal of one of their own who in turn kills another teammate to reclaim their ill-gotten gains in yet another high tech heist.- Written by FMJ_Joker

Elise Bird
12, almost 13 (Birthday: October 4th)
Pokemon Half-
Elise is near four feet eight inches (about 1.5 meters) tall, and tends to think of herself as shorter than average. Her build is average, though a little on the lean side. Her hair is short and straight, colored a light blond. On her forehead is a red jewel like Uxie's, and it glows a little when Elise is thinking hard. Unlike Uxie, Elise doesn't automatically make people forget by looking into their eyes, so she doesn't have to worry about nobody seeing her hazel eyes. Elise's arms are somewhat short. She has two gray tails like Uxie, and like the jewel on her forehead, the jewels on her tails glow when she thinks hard. Elise sees herself as boring in appearance and often wears plain grey clothes...
Elise's egg was warped to Sandgem town, with the moderate climate and peaceful beach. It, oddly, rested on a windowsill of the PokéMart, and the shopkeeper got concerned. He called outside to trainers, "Did anyone leave their Pokémon egg?" For a while, there was no reply, but a woman of about thirty was curious, walking up to the shopkeeper. She claimed it, saying that she could take care of it since no one else owned it, and Elise hatched about two days after. She found herself in a place oddly like the one she had expected, since Uxie lives in a lake, somewhat like Sandgem. The woman that had claimed the egg was surprised that it wasn't exactly a Pokémon that had hatched, but she couldn't just leave this kid out to die. Elise was raised by the woman, Mariel, and did well in elementary school, especially on the subject of Pokémon; with the Uxie DNA, Elise was literally a natural at studying Pokémon. Elise has started her first year of middle school, and doesn't seem to want to leave, even though she'll have to...

iMac Shipping Times Fall Again, Now At Just 24 Hours
Shipping times for the new 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs has fallen again for the second time in under a week. You can now expect the popular all-in-one to be dispatched "within 24 hours" if you live in the United States or Canada, which is a huge improvement over the six-week delay that customers were facing just one month ago.
Thief Breaks $100k Apple Store Doors With Rocks To Steal $64k Worth Of Stuff
An Apple retail store in Boulder, Colorado, became the latest target of a "smash and grab" robbery early Saturday morning. A hooded crook threw three rocks through the store's $100,000 custom glass doors before stealing $64,000 worth of merchandise, including MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones.
The Apple Store's Iconic Look Is Now Trademarked
The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has today published Apple's latest trademark certificate, which covers the "distinctive design & layout" of its iconic retail stores.

One school Kani Benoit officially visited is officially out of the race for his services. Benoit tripped to UNLV earlier this month but he says the Rebels are no longer on his radar.
There is, however, one school standing out on his radar along with a host of others in the ball park. The Rams of Colorado State hosted Benoit back in December and they're still standing out.
"The program is just changing around," Benoit said. "They got the coach McElwain from Alabama so you know that's a big step up, especially at my position. The stadium they're building, plus the facilities, they're making really big moves right now."
The Rams may be standing out but other programs are still in the hunt for Benoit as well. Although he doesn't hold official offers quite yet, Benoit says three programs are very interested in getting him on campus and possibly making the offer there.
"Nevada, Illinois and Vanderbilt are all interested," he said. "They all got my film kind of late but said they are impressed and I'm in the process of trying to schedule visits out there. If I use my remaining three I'll go to those places."
Benoit added the possibility of trips to Nevada and Illinois are probably more likely than Vanderbilt but he thinks his growth in size, from 185-pounds to 205-pounds, has helped to garner him more attention.
"They know I can be an every down back now," he said. "But they also like my speed, cutback vision and acceleration."
What about his decision time table?
"I wanted to announce on MLK day originally but I think I'm going to wait until signing day now once I see what happens."

Denver, Colo.: The Regis Ranger women's lacrosse team stays undefeated after beating the visiting McKendree University Bearcats today by a score of 23-3. The Rangers dominated the game with twelve goals in the first half and eleven in the second half. Regis had 42 shots as opposed to McKendree who finished with a mere eight shots during today's game. Emily Behr led the Rangers in today's match with four goals and Shannon Bryant finished with a hat trick.
In the first half, the Rangers were able to score four goals in less than three minutes with Behr and Erin Todd leading the way while the Bearcats could only score twice in the first half. The Rangers solid defense and persistent offense kept the Bearcats from ever making a presence in Regis territory.
The second half began with the score at 12-2 in favor of Regis. Bree Suter started things off for the Bearcats by scoring within the first minute. Despite the opening goal from McKendree, Regis responded with eleven unanswered goals to put the game well beyond reach. Shannon Bryant found the back of the net three times in the second half.
Today's game was undoubtedly led by the offense as goalie Gianna Lombardi only faced six shots on goal. Aside from Behr and Bryant, three other Rangers had multiple goals in today's match. The Rangers were also able to capitalize on the 18 turnovers the Bearcats had.
Regis improves to 4-3 overall and 3-0 in conference. The Rangers will travel to Fort Lewis for their next game on March 23 at 12:00 PM.

SEATTLE — Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney on Wednesday defended management's plan to transfer thousands of engineering jobs out of the Puget Sound region, saying it's aimed at "creating the strongest possible Boeing."
But aerospace industry experts were skeptical of his rationale for the strategy and warned of risks to the company's future.
McNerney's comments came during a conference call after Boeing reported a strong quarterly net profit of nearly $1 billion on sales of $20 billion.
The Boeing CEO acknowledged that the engineering work transfers now in progress — which will result in a loss of more than 4,300 highly paid, white-collar jobs locally — are "controversial."
But he insisted the moves will "strengthen our company, strengthen our engineering capability."
He justified the moves as a way to leverage engineering talent available elsewhere in the company.
"As the world's largest aerospace company, that has been put together out of the cloth of a number of different acquisitions over the years, we have engineering talent around the company that is extraordinary," McNerney said. "When we place work, there is a tension between engineering work being done next to the product on one hand, and on the other, doing it in the place that has the best engineers for the task at hand, or so-called centers of excellence."
Most of Boeing's commercial-airplane engineers are in the Puget Sound region, but last year management announced the establishment of new engineering "centers of excellence" in North Charleston, S.C.; Huntsville, Ala.; and St. Louis, as well as Southern California.
"We're trying to achieve the right balance between centers of excellence and proximity" to where the airplanes are built, he said.
In the future, McNerney added, engineering will not be in a single location but instead will be located across the different centers.
Experts skeptical
Richard Aboulafia, longtime aviation industry analyst with the Teal Group, dismissed the idea that Boeing is leveraging available talent at other locations inherited in the late 1990s through the acquisition of companies including McDonnell Douglas, Rockwell and Hughes.
Instead, he said, it's all about cutting costs.
"It's been a long time since they had a surplus of legacy engineering talent at any of the places they acquired," said Aboulafia. "They are letting costs drive decisions. You wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for cost."
Hans Weber, president of engineering-consulting firm Tecop International, concurred that cost-cutting is behind the work transfers and that the result will be damaging to Boeing.
"I suspect the real motivation is to get rid of senior engineers, to weed out expensive people and replace them with junior people," he said. "The bean counters think they can save money that way."
Weber said moving engineering work away from the main assembly plants in Everett and Renton "goes against the so-called Toyota principle that you want to keep engineering and manufacturing close together."
This proximity is especially important in industries such as aviation, he said, because the extended learning curve in building new jets and the continuing need to modify current models over the decades of production mean there is "a constant need for interaction between engineering and manufacturing."
Toyota's manufacturing model is one that Boeing management has long aspired to emulate.
Scott Hamilton, Issaquah-based aviation analyst with Leeham.net, said there is some logic in Boeing's strategy of spreading engineering work around the company.
As the U.S. defense budget declines, Boeing will want to put its military-side engineers to work in order not to lose their expertise. He said that at least partially explains why Huntsville, where Boeing does missile-defense work near the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, is being promoted as a center of engineering.
And because Boeing has already committed to building up North Charleston as a commercial jet-manufacturing complex, it also makes sense to beef up the engineering workforce there, Hamilton said.
But he said that even accepting such logic, the way management is carrying out the transfers — laying off people here, then inviting some to reapply for their old jobs at new locations — is counterproductive because it engenders such bad feelings.
"They are doing it in a very callous way," said Hamilton.
On the earnings call, McNerney barely acknowledged the upswell of bad feeling here in Washington state and said that will be dissipated by future work such as the 777X.
"I realize that moving work around a very large corporation can be controversial at the local level," McNerney said. "As we see further success in the future, we'll fight through the dislocations that happen not only in Seattle but in other places around Boeing."

Japan pledged fresh aid worth about 63 billion yen in loans to Myanmar on Sunday, mainly to help the Southeast Asian country's infrastructure-building projects.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe unveiled the aid during talks at his office in Tokyo with Myanmar's President Thein Sein, who came to Japan to attend the regional summit between Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The yen loans are designed to help build infrastructure for the Thilawa Special Economic Zone in the suburbs of Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, and upgrade a railway network in Myanmar, among other projects.
"We will continue to provide support, both at the public and private level, for infrastructure building initiatives and work toward Myanmar's development," Abe said at a joint press conference with Thein Sein.
With Abe having promised aid of 91 billion yen in loans during his visit to Myanmar in May, the total aid of Japan under his government launched in December last year is now more than 150 billion yen.
Japan and Myanmar also signed a bilateral investment treaty to make it easier to invest in the Southeast Asian economy.
With the agreement, Japan has concluded investment pacts with all 10 members of ASEAN which groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Welcoming his country's accord with Japan, Thein Sein said he hopes that "there will be more opportunities for Japanese investment into Myanmar."
Among other forms of assistance, Abe pledged Japan's support for Myanmar's health and medical sectors, and postal system.
On the political front, Abe reiterated Japan's full support for Myanmar's efforts for democratic reform.
Myanmar has begun opening up to the world after years of military rule after making a transition to democratic governance in March 2011. As part of its nation-building efforts, Myanmar will hold parliamentary elections in 2015.
Abe told Thein Sein during their meeting that he wants to "cooperate closely" with the president next year to "achieve major progress in developing the ASEAN region."
Myanmar will hold the ASEAN chairmanship for the first time in 2014. Japan and Myanmar will mark the 60th anniversary next year of the establishment of diplomatic ties.

Go to the town right near where you get the badge you need to use cut, then go into the "family owned" hotel, and talk to one of the 2 guys (there is a women there too, but as i said, talk to one of the GUYS), and they will sell picks to you at a ridiculous price. Just be prepared to lose all your money, once you get it, as it is SOOOOO addicting.

Would NOT unless they specifically asked - Minnesota law states that you must divulge when asked.
I just got pulled over by Minneapolis police for a suspected moving violation. He did not ask...I did not tell.
Would NOT unless they specifically asked - Minnesota law states that you must divulge when asked.
I just got pulled over by Minneapolis police for a suspected moving violation. He did not ask...I did not tell.
This has not happened to me, however, if ever pulled over by an LEO, here's what was recommended in a recent training class I took:
Pull over, point tires at the curb, turn off ignition, remove keys and place on dashboard, take out driver's license and CCW permit, hand both to the LEO, keep both hands on the steering wheel, in plain view of the LEO. If he/she asks if you are carrying, respond yes, and indicate the location (right hip, left hip, etc...). These actions let the LEO know you are not going anywhere and can be trusted.
From that point, the response of the LEO depends on any number of factors. My instructor explained that it's entirely possible the LEO may ask you step out of the car, remove your firearm and then cuff you while writing the citation. This may seem extreme but it's for their own protection. There have been well-publicized instances in CO where cops were shot and/or killed during routine traffics stops. Being warned that this may happen was very helpful for me and I also slowed down (just a little :smile:) while driving.
Whether in a state that requires I inform or not, I am going to give them my DL and CHL, period. They are right beside each other in the wallet. It doesn't take any more time to get both, and I stopped thinking of LEO's as bad guys a couple of decades ago when I stopped doing stupid things like speeding, running lights/signs, and other various things that get one pulled over.
Folks can talk about their rights, or wanting to take apart the officers gun or whatever all they want, but I think it is just ignorant. Every state in the Union has laws on the books that give LEO's the authority to do their job. There are no laws on the books that give you the authority of being a pain in the rear to those officers.
That is my take on it. If you disagree, don't read it or don't take a CHL class from me so you won't have to hear it. :image035:
Is it crap for the officer to ask if you have any weapons on you? After all, isn't their job to enforce the laws. If you don't let them know you are licensed to carry a handgun, and they have to ask, it is making their job more difficult. They have to take extra steps to finish their task. Whereas if you simply give them your DL and CHL up front, which causes you zero hardship, they already know you have a weapon and are licensed to have that weapon, saving everyone time.
Second: I just moved to Texas this summer and DO know the laws here.
Thrid: Does it matter why I got pulled over? Nope. In fact, 2 out 3 times the LEO was wrong and I got no ticket or warning.
Fourth:What does this have to be with being a pain in the rear?
Fitth: If I do not inform and do not have to how will the officer ever know?
Sixth:I thought the LEO's worked for us ya know, to protect and to serve or whatever. Why on earth is it my job to tell him about something I do not have to. I am sorry if they feel uneasy with the unkown but since most of their stops are with folks that don't carry then they are used to that anyway. And quite frankly if they are not they need a nother job.
And again, I am always polite and courteous even to a jack arse that had pulled me over before. So I guess we just disagree.
A citizen who has already acquiesced to them by pulling over, assumed the correct position, and notified them of a weapon in a safe condition is extremely unlikely to be the one who is going to shoot at them. It is one thing to maintain due vigilance, it is another to be a jerk just because you think you can.
That, as presented, is acting like a tool. Did the OP do something else to precipitate this type reaction? I don't know. In the absence of such an action, this behavior on the part of the officer is inexcusable.Quote:
He barked out DON'T MOVE! as he reached a hand to his Baretta. He continued with" NOW, SLOWLY. WITH THESE TWO FINGERS OF YOUR LEFT HAND"! Indicating with his thumb and middle fingers. "PULL THE GUN OUT AND HAND IT TO ME! SLOWLY"! He then proceeded to take the magazine out and tossed it onto the roof of my car, then he worked the action to remove the Cor-Bon 165 grain .45 out of the chamber. He stood that up on my roof then with the action open he tossed my gun onto the roof.
Asking if there are weapons present, etc is very different than what was described in the original post that I repeated above. With respect to all of the walk a mile in their shoes comments, it works both ways.Quote:
Is it crap for the officer to ask if you have any weapons on you? After all, isn't their job to enforce the laws. If you don't let them know you are licensed to carry a handgun, and they have to ask, it is making their job more difficult. They have to take extra steps to finish their task. Whereas if you simply give them your DL and CHL up front, which causes you zero hardship, they already know you have a weapon and are licensed to have that weapon, saving everyone time.
Do you remember the 3 ego states and the answer to a question on the test about the most effect communication taking place when folks remain in a certain ego state.
Taking the attitude that "I don't have to, or you can't make me" certainly falls into the "child" ego state which isn't the answer to the question, (trying not to give any specific info about the Texas test), and isn't the most effective ego state to be in during a traffic stop.
Why one gets pulled over, certainly can make a difference. And if you don't tell the officer, he might never find out, but then again, he might. Based on your reactions and responses to his questions, he may or may not decide to make the stop last long enough to find a reason to ask you out of the car, and do a search or whatever.
It is not an attitude problem with me. I am and always will be respectful to officers. I don;t give a hoot if someone informs even if they do not have to. I quite frankly don't understand why someone gives a hoot if I do or not.
Oh, as far as all the psycho babble.....well, I treat situations as they come and I have been just fine getting out of tickets with just warnings. So The CHL class in my mind was about as uselsss as others I have been to. I know how interrogations work from both sides of the table which makes it all the more amusing when I detect a LEO asking questions that are not relevent to the stop.. That is my opinion.
I believe I've been pulled over for speeding twice since I started always carrying, and both times I completely forgot my gun was even on me. Personally, since I live in a state where you do not need to inform, I see no upside in informing. If the situation during the traffic stop changed and I needed to inform him, then I would.
