Skip to comments.Will You Do It?
Posted on 06/12/2012 4:50:56 PM PDT by aimhigh
Ive known anti-gun cops, who seriously said things like, They have no right to own a gun, its my job to protect them. If they have guns, its just a danger to me! . .
So, Ill be blunt and ask you: Would you personally, go out and confiscate firearms from law abiding citizens even if it goes against your personal opinion regarding the constitutional rights of citizens and do it on the order of an administrative leader of your agency?
(Excerpt) Read more at americancopmagazine.com ...
Some certainly would, I have no doubt.
8 PM EDT only 1 comment.
You'll love this thread. Apparently concealed weapons are OK for some FReepers but exposed weapons not so much.
I used to read an awful lot of military history and my impression was that the police generally go along with whoever is in charge, I either didn't see, or didn't notice the new conquerors having to replace the police forces, and we know that in America the police are not known for rebelling against unjust laws or policies during their history, although they do strongly enforce union demands of their own.
My impression is that for the most part, the police will never be a wall of defense for the citizenry, they just aren't wired that way.
The question to ask them would be if they would understand Americans shooting at them to prevent their weapons from being seized.
I know they are instructed about the 4th and 5th Amends (Search and Seizure and the right against self-incrimination) but sometimes I wonder about the others.
I know they don't learn about the Constitution in school, but one would think that if one is intelligent enough to pass the tests and make it thru LEA schools, they would at least be able to inform themselves about what they will encounter on the streets.
Or could it be they are simply following orders of their superiors?
Or it might be that some are (or become) so self-centered that they actually believe they are the "only" ones who can actually protect we the people thus we don't need to worry; ergo, we don't need weapons of our own?
Never mind the numerous court cases which have ruled that Police have no duty to protect and defend its citizens even if they are called in the middle of a crime being committed and fail to respond.
Whatever it is, those who abuse their authority should beware that some are getting very frustrated over their over-reaching and violations of our rights and if the sheeple ever decide to push back, it could get ugly.
Whether they will obey orders or not is one thing but personal feelings on the issue is another.
Quite a few, I think.
Doesn't really matter one way or the other. Any police officer who refuses, will quickly find himself unemployed, and as many new "recruits" as needed, will be deputized from the ranks of our urban youth. They will be more than happy to make sure that only the thugs have guns.
"The question to ask them would be if they would understand Americans shooting at them to prevent their weapons from being seized."
How about "If your pension is threatened by taxpayers, such as what happened in San Diego and San Jose, would you consider taking illegal money to make up for the shortfall?"
Or, "is there anything you wouldn't do to a citizen if it benefited you or your family if your compensation were impacted by a financial collapse"
Or, just for humors sake, "Have you ever Testi-Lied in a court of law"?
It is not a matter of personal feelings, it is a matter of what constitutes a lawful order.
"My impression is that for the most part, the police will never be a wall of defense for the citizenry, they just arent wired that way."
The "to serve and protect" line is basically not true; they exist to uphold the law, and people may indirectly benefit or simply be collateral damage during that process.
that... is a LIE!!!
cops have absolutely NO duty to protect me or anybody else and that has been proven and upheld by the court time and time again
the ONLY one that can protect You... is YOU!!!
They already violate written law on open carry, harassing those individuals.
Additionally, they regularly arrest other individuals when they fall afoul of a deliberately trickily written gun law.
My point was that generally speaking, it is universal to all nations that cops feelings don't amount to much, they not only obey orders, they mostly obey whoever is in charge, I just don't think that the Soviets or the Germans would have had to do much to change the police in America, the police would mostly just read the new orders and carry on.
There has to be some small/tiny percentage of police who would refuse, resign, or something, but I don't recall hearing that it is ever a problem for occupation forces and conquerors, or corrupt governments to keep the police dealing with the citizens in whatever manner is required by the bosses.
What is lawful about those "Click It Or Ticket" checkpoints?
You might like this one so, PING!
The public sector will take care of itself, with a vengeance upon the public it serves, if that is what it takes.
If we cut their pay, thin their ranks, lighten their pensions, there WILL be hell to pay.
We've been militarizing the police for decades which doesn't help. I personally opposed shutting down our local police department because I wanted to keep them close as part of the local community.
Now we pay the county to roll through town once a week which is OK until there's trouble and they shoot a local because they don't know the local dynamics.
Keep in mind, I have a Hutaree militia member living less than a mile from me and we never had any problems when our cops were local.
I completely agree with you. The police have always had a tendency to support the guy in charge, whoever he may be.
The exception proves that rule: This guy is somewhat famous. I'm sure he wasn't totally unique, but he's the only German police official I know of who stood up to that Nazis.
"If cops start coming around looking for guns, how many people would start going around looking for cops?
Quite a few, I think."
Bingo, we have a winner.
They did during Katrina.
A certain percentage always will abuse power.
Hence, the need for the new Indiana law.
If fat ass city union cops are given the order to stop a riot, confiscate citizen armaments or go door-to-door and ask for a cup of sugar, they will hop in their squads, drive home and protect their families, just like they did in LA back in 1992. Hell, when a bunch of smelly hippies marched on the Sanford, Florida, police station a few months back, the cops wimpered like whipped dogs and shut the station down.
I prefer not to engage in fantasies about super-hero Rambo cops crushing 100 million armed Americans. They do not exist.
If it involved increasing revenue then YES they would.
Yea, but they sound so confidence inspiring when they say that, don't they?
"If it involved increasing revenue then YES they would."
I have no idea what you're talking about. Who is increasing revenue for what purpose, and yes they would for what? And who is "they?"
Try again, FRiend, and be more clear.
In my area, we don't have very many "fat assed" cops out and about in public.
If the current "rank and file" ever decided to strike or go rogue, they would instantly face ten times their numbers of highly qualified military veterans, who our Sheriff could instantly tap to be volunteer deputies, leading an extensive militia of competent citizens as instant force multipliers.
There are many reasons I have always refused to live in a big city or a blue state...
Survival will become an extremely personal, chaotic and dramatic experience for everyone involved.

Obama gives the order: seize the weapons of law-abiding Americans in your medium-sized town. Monday morning: 100 cops show up in the squad room for shift change.
The order is executed. Americans resist, 10 Americans die, three police officers die. Next week, 97 officers show up for shift change. The order is executed: 14 Americans die, five police officers die.
Two weeks in and 8 cops are dead, and others are looking around, thinking about getting out. Both sides are organizing, shooting starts earlier each day. After three weeks, the 80 remaining cops quit enforcing the order, unless Barack leads the raid.
The problem with seizing weapons is that you have to seize WEAPONS. Good luck with that, Kenyan.
Congratulations you have totally figured it out. Seizing weapons sounds great around the Whitehouse bar on Wednesday martini night but dying trying to enforce it is a whole nother endeavor.
My fiancee' says if they start at the top of the block seizing weapons by the time they get to the end of the block there will be a full fledged firefight going on and its going to be real lopsided. We figure that within 48 hours the cops will be refusing to go out on patrol.
Sadly, some would.
Fewer are being taught Peelian principles, and as more LEOs are trained in ignorance of those principles, more of them would be willing to do it.
We need more Peace Officers.

Kim Kardashian's Throwbacks Tell a Different Story
4/25/2014 6:00 AM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
Kim Kardashian has long played the "Plastic surgery for my face? Me? God, no never!" card, but lots of people think that she might not exactly be on the up and up with the truth (read: us. We're the ones who think she's not being exactly forthright, but hell -- what do we know? It's not our face). This latest throwback photo, however, posted by Kim herself sure tells a different story than the one she's been peddling all these years.
See, that's Kim on the left, and it was a good few years ago. That's also Kim on the right, at one of her more recent public functions, and you tell me -- does it look like something's drastically different, or is she maybe actually being honest about all of these plastic surgery rumors?
Check out the gallery below and decide for yourself. God knows girl's got our heads spinning when it comes to that slippery slope known as truth.

The Barley Jacks perform at Schauer center in Hartford
Don't plan to spend your time sitting down during the Barley Jacks concert Saturday at the Schauer Arts & Activities Center, 147 N. Rural St., Hartford.
There's just too much energy onstage: vocals, fiddles, bass and drums. Too much laughter. Too much original music. »Read Full Article(1)
Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)

game, set, mats, presenter - a joke !
does anyone else find the presenter to game set and mats just completely hopeless ! the guy can barely do anything right, he looks in a complete daze. i really do feel like cringing everytime he messes another line up.
come on eurosport, mats is just a brilliant commentator, he deserves better than the complete novice thats working with him.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A Yahoo! User May 29, 2009 18:43 Flag
Mats does a great job. He is almost as good at analysis as he was as a player. I think his co-commentator helps him focus. It's definitely better to have two people doing the programme. She's OK.
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
Mats is well worth listening to. But the lovely Annabel Croft is surely the star...runs the show with skill, good natured charm and enthusiasm. And - as if not lucky enough - she could even play a decent game of tennis at times. For a Brit!
It looks like Eurosport has decided to dump that "creepy guy" from last year afterall !!
Perhaps the longest 15 minutes on TV. It makes me uncomfortable just watching it !!
- 1 Reply to Fat Tony
Extremely nice guy but, yes, shouldn't bother sucking up to the players for TV. Try being a bit harder Mats, ask players and organisers - AND sponsors - some awkward questions instead of the usual heard-it-a-million-times-before rubbish. That WOULD be interesting.
As for Babsi Schett, well, she can do no wrong!
Keep up the good work everyone!
A Yahoo! User May 30, 2008 19:40 Flag
I also completely agree. The poor buy is out of his depth. How on earth does Eurosport do it? I thought the other, spiky hair, one was the pits but this one outdoes every body. He just has this rather silly smile on his face and he doesn't seem to know how to respond to an answer. He just goes to the next question, not having listened. There must be better tennis presenters around! I know a few!!!
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
This is so true, just because they use to play tennis does not automaticaly make them great on commenting on tennis!!!! Greg Ruedeski is the best by far on eurosport and does not glorify all they tennis players, he tells it how it is and is right too!!!
He also seems to be reading from a script !! Mats Wilander is certainly knowledgable about tennis but he is not exactly Mr.Personality !!
A Yahoo! User May 28, 2008 05:01 Flag
I completely agree. Mats seems more comfortable speaking in English (as a second language) than the apparent native english presenter. Absolutely hopeless.

Typical Day
Blake Smith wakes up a bit after 9:00AM. Owning his own business allows him to set his own hours, and he doesn't really care about "catching the worm."
He makes a quick cup of coffee for the road—he's got a morning meeting with a new a client at his studio, and Starbucks is too far out of the way. He takes a second to admire his kitchen table as he passes it; it's one of the first pieces he created after leaving art school.
At the time, he was specializing in historical blacksmith wrought iron work from the colonial period. Since then he's started focusing his efforts on modern ironwork pieces for interior design furniture stores. He just doesn't make 'em like he used to.
He drives to his studio and, after opening up, jumps on his laptop (not literally…those things are delicate) to access some new light fixture designs for a client. His client wants a chandelier with design elements from the medieval period, but with modern light bulb mounts.
Blake uses a 3D modeling software program to map out a few designs. He finishes three separate ones before he hears a knock at his door.
"Gosh, they're early," he mutters.
Luckily, the knocker isn't the client. It's a UPS deliveryman with the blacksmith coal that Blake ordered from Pennsylvania. Blacksmith coal is different than the kind people use for grilling out in their backyard. This type of coal burns hotter and is made of clean burning bituminous and anthracite.
"Got anyone to help out?" the driver asks. "These are fifty-pound boxes."
"I've got a wheelbarrow in the back," Blake says.
"You working for Santa Claus or something? If so, the guy's got a major naughty list this year."
"No, it's all for the forge," Blake replies, laughing.
Blake built his first forge with bricks, a two-basin stainless-steel sink, a shop vacuum, black furnace cement, riveted sheet metal, and a whole host of other materials he purchased online and through local hardware stores. You know—the same way most of us built our first forge.
It wasn't long before that forge was no longer adequate enough to support his business. As soon as he could, he invested in an antique forge to supplement it. Blake loves modern designs, but like many in his profession, he's still romantic about the colonial style forges he saw as a kid.
An hour passes before Davis, his apprentice, shows up. Davis is a striker, basically the guy who pounds objects with sledgehammers.
"Hey, Davis. Ready to fire it up? We've got several things on the books today. That hotel in Miami wants to order another art deco railing."
Davis fires up the forge by wadding up sheets of newspaper into tight balls and adding them to the firepot. (Who knows what they'll do when the last newspaper closes its doors—web pages just aren't as flammable.)
He slowly adds coke (as in the fuel made from coal, not the stuff your dentist tells you to avoid) to the pot. When the coke starts burning, Davis starts adding coal on top of the fire. He first adds dry coal and then starts spreading wet coal. Maintaining a specific temperature is essential.
Matthias Thompson walks in for his appointment with Blake at 12:45PM. Matthias is opening a nightclub and wants to purchase some light fixtures, railings, and balusters from Blake to incorporate an arabesque look. He's brought a tribal rug for Blake to use for inspiration. It's not long before Matthias finds himself enthralled watching Davis pounding hot metal over the anvil's face.
The bright red metal is an impressive sight. In fact, Blake had to build an addition to the studio to meet with clients because it was starting to get hard to get their attention when Davis was forging projects.
"Where can I learn how to do this?" Matthias asks.
"Well, I have classes here twice a month. Would you like me to enroll you?" Blake asks.
"Sounds entertaining," Matthias says, following Blake to his office.
Blake started teaching people and taking on apprentices a couple of years ago. He was surprised to find out that so many people were interested in blacksmithing, and though he feels at least a little conflicted about training up potential competition, watching the joy on their faces when they hold something they created more than makes up for it.
After his appointment, Blake picks up some Wolf-Jaw tongs and heats a bar until it's pliable. Using a vise, he twists the metal. An hour later, he has the first piece of railing for his Floridian client. He'll make another and another—even for a blacksmith, this is monotonous work.
At 4:00PM, Davis heads home and Blake decides to shelve the railing project for the day. After all, he's ahead of schedule and won't gain much from pushing himself without his apprentice.
He spends the next three hours shaping a small iron horse out of scrap metal, meticulously crafting tiny joints into the knees and ankles. Next, he makes a small man, a knight in shining steel armor holding a small lance that's not quite as straight as he'd intended, but...so what. His daughter is going to love it anyway.
He rotates it in the light as the forge cools. Sure, he wasted a little time at the office today, but tonight, his kid will be just a little bit happier than normal to see him when he comes home for dinner. Totally worth it.

Mr. President,
You have reminded this country that in the face of great obstacles, if we come together in a spirit of ingenuity and passion, "Yes We Can" overcome all obstacles. Does this apply to Darfur?
And if so, what is your plan of action for the people of Darfur? We've heard enough rhetoric to last a life time. What is your plan of action so that we can say "Yes We Can End Genocide, Yes We Can Save Darfur?"

This was approximately February of this year, I was not told by them of there plans to close or even that they had closed, instead I got a call from The Edge Fitness Complex who informed me that AC Fitness had closed and sold my information to The Edge, AC Fitness left no contact information and still owes me the remainder of a two year gym membership.
A few months ago I am contacted by a Ms. Short 1-800-734-7405 ext. 138 who tells me I owe AC Fitness for all these months of not paying my bill. I tell her the situation and she says it's only a courtesy to tell me they were going to close, and they didn't have to, and I still owe them money because the gym was sold to Fitness Today and if I don't pay they will send my account to a collection agency.
She calls me maybe 5 more times, then I get a call from 1-800-640-5161 saying that it is AC Fitness and I need to return their call, turns out both #'s are for this company American Club Services. so now they are harassing and threatening me, and on top of it all they owe me the rest of a gym membership for the next year and a half. I have searched the internet and apparently this is not the first problem with this company.

First, they sold me a piece of junk computer -- the Inspiron 5150. It died a month after the warranty expired. Fortunately, due to the Lundell Settlment Class action, I was able to eventually get promised a new computer from them (search Lundell Settlement on the internet to see what kind of garbage this company sells).
They continued to insist that they had no idea what was wrong with my computer until I invoked the Lundell Settlement, then they quickly changed their tune and told me they'd provide me with a new computer.
I sent in my old one and they didn't return it for months. Every time I called them they had a different excuse -- in transit, shipped to wrong person, still being worked on, etc. When I tried to speak with a supervisor, I was told "just a minute, sir" and hung up on.
To make a very long and nearly unbelievable story very short, I called Dell over 20 times without any results until I finally got wise and contacted the attorney general and the better business bureau (BBB). I eventually got to speak with an executive in the customer service department -- Anna Simpson -- who initially laughed at my request to get my computer back but eventually caved when I continued to apply pressure to her via the BBB.
She said she would arrange to send me a new computer. Instead, she sent a used computer with a nearly dead battery that was worth less than the computer that they lost. I again contacted Anna Simpson and applied third-party pressure to her and got her to replace the battery and give me a credit with the company.
When I tried to use the credit, I got signed up for a credit account against my will and shipped the wrong item that I did not order.
To summarize, I spent dozens of hours getting jerked around and treated like garbage by low-IQ customer service peons, including "executive" Anna Simpson. I got my computer stolen and got a cheap, broken replacement.
Be warned.

When you search for Hoodia and come across their website, after submitting a little bit of teaser information, you are brought to their order site:
You will notice on this order site, there is no mention of being enrolled in their Premium Customer Program or being billed $99.95 or having to cancel in 14 days. It simply states: "Your Lipoplex with Hoodia 15-day trial is FREE*. Please pay only $6.95 Shipping & Handling"
When you are surprised to get billed for $99.95 and call them to cancel, they tell you that you were responsible to cancel within 14 days and it is stated clearly on the order website. They then direct you to this page:
This website states: "Your Lipoplex with Hoodia 15-Day Supply is FREE*.Please pay only $6.95 Shipping & Handling
Upon ordering your 15-Day supply of Lipoplex you will be automatically enrolled in our Premium Customer Program. If you have not canceled your membership within 14 days of placing your order, you will automatically be shipped a 60-Day supply of Lipoplex and billed $99.95 ($93.00 + $6.95 Non-Refundable Shipping & Handling) to your card. Every other month on or around the same date we will ship you your 60-Day supply of Lipoplex and charge your account accordingly.
If you decide you do not wish to participate with the Premium Customer Program, simply call us within 14 days of ordering your 15-Day Supply. You may cancel by calling 1-800-597-8533 Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:00pm PST."
Since you don't have a photographic memory of what you saw 14 days earlier, they convince you that it is your fault and you knew that you needed to cancel, when in fact you were not told this on the original order page. Is this FRAUD? Why else would they have two different versions of the same order page?
In my opinion this should not only be enough proof to demand a full refund, but also constitute grounds for a class action lawsuit!

WP-ImageFlow Plus worked perfectly! As advertised!
I tried to do this on my own, on a standalone web page. Ultimately, after two days of coding and editing, my page paled in comparison to WP-ImageFlow Plus.
I installed the plugin and activated it, created a new page, pasted the shortcode into the page, added images to my gallery, and hit 'Preview'.
That whole process took about five minutes. It worked flawlessly! The carousel, the lightbox pop-ups, the navigation... Like I said, Perfect!
Thank you!
Only one question... I didn't see a "Donate" button anywhere.
How can I support future development?

NEW YORK -- In an era when a half-dozen food retailers control the majority of sales in the United States, the real "national brands" driving growth in the very near future will be the private labels of large chains, according to a panel of experts assembled by the Private Label Manufacturers Association here. For that reason, retailers should closely examine the return they are getting from investment in their own brands, including the marketing aspects, the PLMA said in a study just ...

Data Centers
How long has OMB known its estimate of the number of data centers was way off?
If testimony from a Government Accountability Office official posted online July 23 is any indication, the Office of Management and Budget will have some explaining to do before a House Oversight and Government and Reform subcommittee July 25. Lawmakers are likely to ask whether OMB officials recently learned they had severely underestimated the number of federal data centers, or knew their numbers were way off but didn't tell anybody.
The testimony, from GAO Director of IT Management Issues Dave Powner, touches on many critical IT issues, but one particularly eye-catching figure is GAO's finding that 22 of the 24 agencies which are part of the OMB-led Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) now house nearly 6,800 data centers.
Dave Powner's prepared testimony.
April GAO report
That number grew even further during a recent joint House-Senate briefing, when OMB told the Hill there were actually more than 7,000 data centers, a Hill official told FCW.
That's more than double the OMB estimate of 3,133 total federal data centers it has touted publicly since December 2011. An OMB spokeswoman said that after OMB's early estimates, the definition of data centers changed to include smaller server setups. In addition, agencies have gotten better at identifying data centers, she said.
The smaller number appeared most recently in a GAO report on data center consolidation, prepared in April and released at a field hearing of the Subcommittee on Government Operations on May 14.
Officials from OMB and the General Services Administration were invited to testify but did not appear at that hearing. But federal CIO Steven VanRoekel and David McClure, GSA's associate administrator for the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technology, are expected to testify at the follow-up hearing July 25.
One question sure to arise on July 25 is how long OMB knew the total number of federal data centers was closer to 7,000 than 3,000. One Capitol Hill official who asked not to be named told FCW it "appears OMB knew there were far more data centers a while back, but were they ever going to tell anyone?"
According to the OMB spokeswoman, FDCCI integration with PortfolioStat, another OMB-led initiative, has provided a more "comprehensive analysis of resources used, efficiencies realized, and also helps us better protect our assets." In addition, she said OMB has expanded the definition of a data center to include centers of "all shapes and sizes."
The broader definition and better tracking explain the bigger total, she said. "The higher number of data centers cited by GAO during the HSGAC hearing on June 11 reflects this change in methodology and improved reporting by agencies, not an increase in the actual number of data centers. Under PortfolioStat, agencies are categorizing their data center populations into core and non-core data centers and examining how optimizing these assets will improve agency mission service delivery."
However the centers are counted, a total of 7,000 federal data centers makes OMB's original goals for FDCCI difficult to attain.
The consolidation initiative was launched by OMB in 2010 with the aim of closing 40 percent, or 1,253, of 3,133 federal data centers across 24 agencies, attaining a cost savings of approximately $3 billion by the end of 2015. Agencies closed 420 data centers by December 2012 and, as of July, planned to reach 968 closings by December 2015 – about 300 short of OMB's goal. If the total is now 7,000 data centers, OMB's goal of 40 percent closures would require consolidating 2,800 of them.
In recent months, OMB has shifted its data center strategy, combining FDCCI with PortfolioStat, another federal initiative, and striving toward data center optimization rather than closures. However, Scott Renda, OMB's cloud computing and FDCCI portfolio manager, speaking at a Northern Virginia Technology Council briefing June 5, said OMB's stated target of closing 40 percent of federal data centers was still part of OMB's plan.
Regardless, GAO and other oversight bodies have been critical of OMB – as well as GSA and the Data Center Consolidation Task Force, which play an oversight role in FDCCI – for its poor leadership and lack of metrics to document cost savings through data center consolidations and closures.
By the end of fiscal 2013, FDCCI will document only $63 million in savings, GAO found, and only one agency – the Department of Defense – has detailed planned savings through fiscal year 2014, expecting to save $575 million.

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
It really is all about size and definition. A data center could be considered anything that houses a data processing device. It could be a server sitting on a shelf in a back office. It could also be 100,000 square feet or more. It really stems from the definition that each group is using. Key point here: Let's not look site of the goal. It's not just a number of data center game, it's about creating a methodology to advance data processing in the government, while reducing the burdened cost to do work. Cost savings is the goal, and these cost savings are presented in the context of KEEPING the same or better level of service. 3000 or 7000 doesn't really matter. It's about saving some non-trivial number of taxpayer's dollars
It has been my experience in the field that not only each federal agency, but offices within each agency, and even down to the Division level have different definitions for the "Data Centers" proper. Many will define small data processing and IT equipment rooms ranging from 500 square feet to 3,000 square feet as data centers when the dynamics of the facility's primary systems and spaces allocated to data processing do not have the characteristics of a "Data Center" as the industry defines it. Therefore, OMB in conjunction with all Federal Agencies and IT components need to first gather consensus around definitions and categories of data processing spaces, rooms, and facilities prior to the development of a fed-wide inventory of "Data Centers". The biggest challenge is getting past senior management who think they are IT savvy and the IT authority within their sphere of control, when in fact their technical experience and understanding of data processing systems, facilities and strategies are limited. It is my guess that once you define the Data Center you will find that the actual numbers of Data Centers (proper) will be down and the number of other IT and data processing spaces/rooms will be up. But until then there will continue to be a disconnect between the truly IT savvy technical engineer and the upper level manager.

This has been annoying me for quite some time now. No matter what "members only" plugin I use it never blocks access to the main index page of my blog. It only prompts for a password when you try to visit one of the category, archive, or single post pages of my blog when you're logged out. Non-members can still view the main index page of my blog and no matter what I do I can't get it to block it to members only.
I tried several different themes and I tried several different plugins and they all claim to completely block access but for me they don't.
Can someone help?

Much of the injury accidents that occur each year on USA roads occur in the colder months, particularly from October to March. The reasons are that during the winter daylight hours decrease and temperatures; moreover, the road surface is worsened by moisture, mud, ice, etc. All these conditions hinder the flow. Following tips for winter driving will help with such difficulties, and Champion wheels for winter are the best partner for the winter season.
In this regard, it is noteworthy that below 7 degrees, the tire-the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road-hardened, so that they lose their effectiveness as far as grip and handling is concerned. This causes loss of adhesion braking distance from 50 km/h is multiplied up to eight: dry is 8 meters; wet, twice; with snow, 32 meters; and ice, to 64 meters! The difference between an accident or not.
According to a study, 80% of users have never ridden chains on their vehicles and/or cannot use. In addition, the chains only serve to drive through snow, but wet or icy asphalt is useless. To this it is added the fact that the assembly of the chains is cumbersome, sometimes cannot be used on some vehicles, causing instability to be placed only on the drive shaft, and may even damage the tire or car if installed incorrectly.
Champion wheels for winter avoid all the aforementioned drawbacks and provide most safety in all winter conditions (rain, ice, snow) and better performance. In USA, its use is not mandatory, contrary to what happens in the rest of the country. However, its use is regulated by the General Vehicle Regulations, which provides: "Where obligatory or recommended the use of chains or other approved anti-skid devices should be placed at least on the axis of the drive wheels such chains or use winter tires. " In this case, the law allows to mount winter tires with a code of lower vehicle speed (you have to look in a visible place a sticker that says so).
Key winter tire – Champion wheels for winter have a specific, softer, flexible compound aimed at providing better performance in winter conditions, since it does not harden below 7° C. They also have high density slots, which provides better traction and wet performance.
Advantages of Champion winter wheels
Champion wheels by championmotorsport.com offer many advantages over conventional:
- Increased security: the braking distance is reduced by 6 meters with respect to one summer.
- Greater peace of mind: your car will always be ready whatever the road conditions and weather conditions.
- Improving the performance of the vehicle: the two axes equipped with winter tires provide more stability to the car.
- Comfort: possible dangerous situations like that occur when mounting the chains are avoided.
- Good investment income: mount in winter, summer is stored in your car and so is always well equipped for every season.

These people racially profile and stop any car that does not have local plate frames. Had a cop pull me over that had no name tag, no badge (just a jacket patch) and who basically was really nasty and asked me several questions that were actually against the law. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the Chief to get this guy reprimanded.
The complicity though of allow these new cards to Mexicans who are TOTALLY ILLEGAL should NOT be condoned by ANY police department!! California blows cause they're the center of all this liberal bull crap taking this country down the toilet...and cops who allow such crap to go on cause they're too gutless to confront it should be kicked off the force regardless of their title!!

First off they never mailed my item for almost a month. Before they mailed my order I noticed that PayPal had given them my old address which was still set as my default address when I paid with PayPal. No big deal I figured, I emailed them before they shipped my package and told them I know PayPal only allows you to ship to the address PayPal provided them with and if they can't ship to my actual address to go ahead and refund the order. Well a few days later they decide to ship the order and of course they shipped it to my old address.
I brought this to their attention they of course tell oh well we can't ship to a different address than what PayPal provided. That's fine I would just like my money back. 1SaleADay will make you wait 10 business days for them to receive the item back, after that doesn't happen you have to wait another 10 days for them to file a case with their shipping service (as if it's their shipper's fault), after those 20 days it then takes another 10 business days for them to go through the refund process. So in total from the time you tell them you would like a refund it takes over 1 month. This is clearly a plow to try and weed out customers who aren't persistent enough to stick with it. Also keep in mind that their customer support does not answer questions the same day nor will they even respond after each 10 day period, you have to contact them each time to ask for an update to your status.
So it's now March 1st, I placed my original order in December... but regardless I'm finally done waiting 30 business days after this entire ordeal and I am told that my refund has been denied because they shipped the product to the address they had on file even though I had explicitly told them not to ship to that address and to just give me a refund. Instead they completely ignore that and decide to ship a product they know will not be received and then prevent me from getting a refund. This is theft, they knowingly and purposefully took advantage of them already having my cash with no way to get it back from them.
Do not purchase from 1SaleADay unless you are ready to be bend over should everything not go exactly perfect.

Detroit (AP) -- General Motors Corp. says it will temporarily close 13 assembly plants in the U.S. And Mexico as it tries to control growing inventory due to slumping sales.
The company said in a statement Thursday that the closures will start in May and end in July.
Shutdown weeks vary by factory, but some will be closed for nine weeks.
The company plans to cut production by 190,000 vehicles.
GM says the shutdowns will help control high dealer inventories and bring production in line with sales.
Analysts say the company could be seeing sales decline because of talk about a potential bankruptcy.
The automaker operates a number of plants in Ohio, including a major assembly complex in Lordstown, near Youngstown.

Sandy hook hoax
Ya'll are PATHETIC.
My only fear is that all this hoax talk is going to get back to the parents who lost their child and how do you think that is going to make them feel? Like their childs death is a big joke? I'm sure that will be comforting for them.
The government paid all these people? Hundreds of them to keep quiet? Like that wouldn't slip? Give me a break.
I have to walk away from this because I'm starting to get all kinds of fired up about it.
This shit/thread needs to be locked - stop it with this nonsense - there are people on this thread who know victims personally or know children/families of Sandy Hook survivors personally (including myself). Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows it actually happened and this is just reprehensible and disrespectful. Sickening, really.
And embarassing and sad for the folks who believe this shit. Do you really hate Obama so much or love your guns so much? People that believe this need therapy, it is just beyond pathetic at this point.
I have a solution for the OP and other conspiracy theorists:
1) Get in your car and drive to Newtown, CT.
2) Go to the school, the neighborhoods where 20 children once lived, the hospital, the funeral homes, the churches and synagogues, and the cemeteries.
3) Report back to us whether you still believe lies from YouTube.
Let me guess....was it the Illuminati???
Bullshit! I seriously doubt that that shooting was a hoax.
They need to honor those lost and stop wasting time making b.s. videos on YouTube about something they know zero about!
And yes, my previous screen name was *bigsisterkay.* I'm not an imposter posing as her...same person, same face, same kids! ;-)
Didnt they start rumors after the Aurora theater shooting that there was a second gun man? Hmmmm.......
^^^^ Help us get to Legoland!!
Navy GF since 7-1-13
Anyone who cites Youtube as a credible source is a MORON.
OP, you should be ashamed and embarrassed that you posted this.
Get a life.
These kind of posts really make me feel very ill. All this does is insult the feelings of those that lost a loved one in this horrific tragedy. It demeans the memory of all the victims and what they endured.
All of this is insane!!! I watched part of it but not all because my phone kept stopping. I just feel so bad for the families/friends of the victims who have to hear all of this.
Brendan 12/05/07
Cayden 08/28/12
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
It enrages me that people sit around deciding that a parent's grief is FAKE because he had the audacity to smile or laugh. "How fucking dare a father smile! His child is dead. He better be crying all the time or he's a liar!"
You know what? Grief is horrific. And losing a child is hell on Earth. You don't think grief is real because a father laughs or smiles? Too damn bad. Let's hope you never lose a child and spend one second worrying about what others think about your emotions and whether they pass the test for what some fucking stranger thinks is appropriate.

Teaching Kids About Birds
Kids are naturally curious and love to learn. Birds hold a special fascination -- they can FLY!
Parents and teachers can help children learn about birds simply by answering their questions. How do birds fly? What is the smallest bird? Why are Robin's eggs blue?
The other thing parents and teachers can do is to encourage kids to stop, look and listen. Birds sing, they protect their territory, they attract mates, they hunt for food. This behavior is fascinating to watch. Make sure the children in your life notice these things.
Try these projects together:
Older children can be introduced to the concepts of conservation, ecology and habitat preservation.
The Roger Tory Peterson Institute has an excellent web site for teachers and kids interested in nature.
If you are a Scoutmaster, introduce the troop to birding on your hikes and campouts. Help them with the Bird Study merit badge. Thayer's Birds of North America CD-ROM is very helpful with this. The Birds of My State CD-ROM lets you seleect the birds from any state, province or region.
The American Birding Association sponsors a competition for Teen birders each year. There are also summer birding camps for teens only.
