You're driving down the road and you can tell someone is holding a Beretta 92??? Can I have your eyes :))
To answer your question...call 911 to report it.
This is a discussion on How weird is this? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So a few years ago, summer of 2007, after I bought my Sig but before my carry permit arrived, I was driving down the road ...
So a few years ago, summer of 2007, after I bought my Sig but before my carry permit arrived, I was driving down the road heading home in the middle of a beautiful summer day. I was just driving along, watching the road, and on to my left I see a young kid jumping off a rock wall. Right after that, I hear a loud POP! Since I saw that kid, I assumed he had lit an M80 or something. No big deal, keep driving. A second later there is another POP! Its not the kid because its coming from right side of the road.
There is a building on the right of the road, where theater classes are taught. There on the lawn in front of the building is a bunch of the homemade, black painted theater furniture, and a guy with long hair, I'm guessing he works in that building.
So it looks like they've been clearing out old junk, like these blocky, uncomfortable black chairs and tables on the lawn.
I realize that the guy is holding a Beretta 92, he's facing the road, pointing at the lawn right in front of him. While I'm watching him, he shoots one more time. As I'm passing, he racks the slide, apparently it jammed. One more shot after I pass him, then its empty.
2:30 in the afternoon, middle of the summer, on the side of the road, people walking around within 50 feet. What the HELL?! >:(
I was unarmed, and quite honestly I just kept driving. I didn't stop, didn't start to wonder if I should do anything until about a block down the road. But I didn't hear any more shots and there was no commotion in the street in my rearview mirror. There was nothing on the news that night.
As a concealed carrier, what would you have done? What should I have done? If anything?
Isn't that bizarre?
You're driving down the road and you can tell someone is holding a Beretta 92??? Can I have your eyes :))
To answer your question...call 911 to report it.
he was only about 50 to 80 feet away when i first saw him, and at the closest range, maybe 30 feet
Yep. Keep driving, get the heck out of there, and call the police. Guaranteed to win every gun fight you don't get in.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Could it not have been the blank-firing 8mm Beretta?
I agree with everyone else call the cops, let them handle it. No matter who you are!
I think there is a strong possibility that it was a prop gun or blanks given it was outside the theater building and there seemed to be alot of props around. No way that you could know really. Call the cops, that is their job.
Theater classes and gun shots? Good acting and good props?
regardless of whether it could have been fake or not, those actions are stupidity at its best

Long Beach Police Defend Caught-on-Camera Violence
LONG BEACH (CNS) - Long Beach police found themselves under scrutiny today after a YouTube video surfaced showing officers beating a suspect while he was on the ground and using a Taser to subdue him.
The video was shot around 6 p.m. Monday in the 300 block of South Street when police tried to arrest the man, Sgt. Aaron Eaton, a Long Beach police spokesman, told City News Service.
The suspect remains hospitalized from the injuries he suffered during his arrest. Eaton declined to release his name because he hasn't been booked yet.
The Los Angeles Times today identified the man as 46 year-old Porfirio Santos-Lopez.
The incident began, Eaton said, with an ``incomplete 911 call.'' Police, he said, were notified that a fight was going on outside a liquor store. When officers arrived, they saw two men fighting in the street, Eaton said.
``When officers approached the man, he became uncooperative, irrational and combative,'' Eaton said. ``The officers tried to take the suspect into custody but he began to fight with them.''
One of the officers used his Taser on the suspect, which caused him to fall to the ground, Eaton said.
``An officer then used his baton and the suspect kicked at the officer and knocked the baton out of his hand,'' Eaton said. ``Then, when they tried to put him in handcuff, he kicked one of the officers in the face.''
In the video, Santos-Lopez is seen on his back in the middle of the street. An officer then used his Taser on him and another officer is seen repeatedly beating the man on his legs and other parts of his body.
Santo-Lopez appeared to yell something at the officers during the beating.
Eaton said that officers saw evidence that the suspect was suffering from alcohol intoxication, and he said the man later admitted to police that he had also been using ``methamphetamine.''
When Santos-Lopez is eventually discharged from the hospital, Eaton said, he likely will be booked on at least four charges, including battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, battery on the individual he was fighting with in front of the liquor store, and public intoxication.
Eaton said the department opened up a use-of-force investigation the day of the arrest. It will determine if all the baton strikes and use of the Taser was in policy or not.
Command staff also will review training procedures and the equipment used in the incident and consider whether there is room for improvement.
The officers involved in the arrest remain on duty.
``We don't really have a mechanism or procedure to take them off street duty while a use of force investigation is underway,'' Eaton said.

Just like American Chopper - they may build 2 or 3 bikes every month, but that isn't going to make a huge difference in the motorcycle industry when Harley's shipping 1,000's each day.<quoted text>
Ever watched American guns, or Suns of guns. They have a small operation and can turn out some fine weapons. There are plenty of people with the expertise to manufacture firearms and lots of territory in the United States to do it in.
No doubt there may be a few scant machine shops scattered in around the US, but to believe that any discernable amount of illegal firearms come from private machine shops is a stretch. Now I'll believe that there are "bunches" more that originate from illegal transactions under the counter at gun shows or from dealers on the side. That, I would guess, the NRA doesn't buy into or hasn't.
What would be your guess at the total amount of illegal firearms right now on the street?

TV writers look to economy for cues to future shows
By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Working class men and women may soon steal Hollywood's spotlight from the not-so-desperate housewives of upscale Wisteria Lane as U.S. television writers consider how to appeal to viewers in tough economic times.
The buzz around Hollywood is that shows portraying over-the-top wealth like ABC's flashy "Dirty Sexy Money" are on their way out. Writers believe the time is again ripe for working class comedies like 1980s sitcom "Roseanne" and 1970s blockbuster "All in the Family."
"Many TV shows portray wealthy people and opulence, and I think these kinds of shows may have a problem with viewership. I think audiences want to see characters they can relate to," said Suzan Olson Davis, who has written for cop drama "Saving Grace." Davis said she is now working on a pilot program for a series about the "lower middle class."
Paul Kagan of media research firm PK said viewers will increasingly turn to gritty crime dramas like "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," citing the wildly popular 1930s Depression-era radio classic "The Shadow," about a mysterious vigilante.
"During a time of great problems, people like to see problems solved," said Kagan. "That's why I think these crime mystery programs are so popular and will continue to be popular. Everything is always solved by the end of the hour."
Hollywood is fast approaching its "pilot season" early next year in which networks pick shows for the 2009/2010 season, and many writers see an ever-widening gap between the rarefied worlds in programs like "90210" and "Desperate Housewives," and the real world of failing banks and swelling unemployment.
"What is interesting about TV is that many of the characters are rich and white. We don't have any Roseanne Barrs or Archie Bunkers," said John Greene, executive producer of crime drama, "Law & Order: SVU."
"The next year is going to be interesting in terms of the development cycle and what we put on TV," he said. Continued...

600,000 Workers Drop Dead Every Year From Overwork In China's Factories
Johann Hari
At first, this isn't going to sound like a good news story, never mind one of the most inspiring stories in the world today. But trust me: it is. Yan Li spent his life tweaking tiny bolts, on a production line, for the gadgets that make our lives zing and bling.
He might have pushed a crucial component of the laptop I am writing this article on, or the mobile phone that will interrupt your reading of it. He was a typical 27-year-old worker at the gigantic Foxconn factory in Shenzen, Southern China, which manufactures i-Pads and Playstations and mobile-phone batteries.
Li was known to the company by his ID number: F3839667. He stood at a whirring line all day, every day, making the same tiny mechanical motion with his wrist, for 20p an hour. According to his family, sometimes his shifts lasted for 24 hours; sometimes they stretched to 35. If he had tried to form a free trade union to change these practices, he would have been imprisoned for 12 years. On the night of 27 May, after yet another marathon-shift, Li dropped dead.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct
Deaths from overwork are so common in Chinese factories that they have a word for it: guolaosi. China Daily estimates that 600,000 people are killed this way every year, mostly making goods for us. Li had never experienced any health problems, his family says, until he started this work schedule; Foxconn say he died of asthma and his death had nothing to do with them. The night Li died, yet another Foxconn worker committed suicide the tenth this year.

Kegger On The Savanna
There's really no telling what the animals at the zoo get up to after hours. Their daily routines--swatting flies, tearing into raw meat and walking the same slow circle of their pens--are no great mystery, but most of us can only imagine what goes on at the Dallas Zoo when the sun goes down. But now, with Mayor Tom Leppert as your safari guide, you'll get just that chance at "Giraffes, Monkeys and Lepperts," a night out at the zoo complete with music, caricatures, rides on the carousel, face painting and other games. Of course, there's the night's main entertainment too, a rare evening view of the zoo's new Giants of the Savanna exhibit, where the animals, mingling together in a 10-acre habitat, really let loose once the work day's done. The event's a fundraiser for Education is Freedom, an organization that helps Dallas students stay on track through high school and reach college. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Dallas Zoo, 650 South R. L. Thornton Freeway. Adults are $10, students ages four to 18 are $5 and kids three and under get in free. A "herd pass" admits a group of four for $20. For tickets and info, call 214-432-8556 or visit giraffesmonkeysandlepperts.com.

Less than two years ago, Garrett Gilbert almost led Texas to a national championship. Now he is a former Longhorns quarterback.
The school announced Wednesday that Gilbert was given an unconditional release from his scholarship and would seek a transfer.
Gilbert, a junior, started the team's first two games of the season, but struggled as he did as a sophomore when he threw for 10 touchdowns and 17 interceptions while Texas finished 5-7 and missed a bowl for the first time under Mack Brown.
He eventually was ruled out for the season due to shoulder surgery.
Gilbert was the All-USA Offensive Player of the Year in 2008 and relieved an injured Colt McCoy in the first quarter of the 2009 BCS title game against Alabama. After some early jitters, he pulled Texas within three points in the fourth quarter before a 37-21 loss.
Case McCoy, Colt's brother, replaced Gilbert after his struggles against BYU this season. McCoy and David Ash have helped spark an offense that has Texas 4-0 and ranked No. 10 in the country before this week's game against No. 1 Oklahoma. That put Gilbert's future in doubt.
Gilbert said in statement "it is in my best interest to transfer. I can't thank all of my teammates and everyone at Texas enough for all of their support, but I just think I'm at a point in my life where I need a fresh start."
Longhorns coach Mack Brown was supportive of the decision and his commitment to the program.
"I can't thank him enough for hanging in there, helping the younger guys and being a great team guy even after he hurt his shoulder," Brown said. "Whatever school he decides to go to will get a guy who will work as hard as anyone and compete both on the field and in the classroom."

I've noticed something with myself. Sometimes it seems I am just spinning my wheels, like a truck in the mud just flinging dirt up in the air. Sometimes I've worked very hard, but not felt like I've seen any positive results. Have you ever really poured your heart and soul into something only to see that it appears not much came of it?
You might have dreams of changing the world, writing a book, quitting your day job and launching your own business, making millions of dollars, or just wanting to find a nice quiet place to settle down in. It sure seems life would be more secure and comfortable if we were all able to achieve everything we desire. Let's examine what really makes a success and end this article with and example of a successful person to see if they follow the steps laid our here.
Hard Work
I've been studying people, success, and personal growth for the last three years now. So I have some knowledge and expertise here. When I think about what makes someone successful, it seems to always boil down to that person first is a tireless worker. Without fail, that person is spending many hours each day working hard to achieve the success they desire.
I contrast this to myself and I realize that sometimes I just don't work that hard. I take long breaks. I dabble here and there for an hour or two in a week. The difference in this is the difference between guzzling an entire glass of water, or just taking a small sip or drip of water. I think many times I just take sips and hope that those sips create treasure for me.
But if small sips were all that was required, then everyone would achieve the success they desire. So the evidence is overwhelming for me that simply dabbling or taking sips in the area of hard work are not going to create success. It appears that it takes much more than that. One must be willing to completely immerse themselves in what they are doing. In fact, I wouldn't even bother trying unless you are going to immerse yourself in your desired success.
Goals and Plans
Beyond hard work, there are a few other things that successful people appear to incorporate into their lifestyle. One of these is having clear goals and plans. I have not seen a successful person who is unclear or confused about what they are trying to accomplish. It is very apparent to me that successful people are clear in their goals – often creating to-do lists daily to keep on track.
The reason I feel I "spin my wheels in the mud" sometimes is because of a failure to evaluate the results of what I'm doing. That failure to evaluate can lead to repetitive behavior that creates the same result over and over. It is important to work hard, have clear goals and plans, and then to evaluate based on the goals you have. Without the goals, who knows if you are reaching your target.
It seems to me that successful people are constantly striving to improve and refine their efforts so that they are always increasing the results they get.
I have yet to meet a successful person that is continually depressed, bitter, or has a dreary outlook of the world. In contrast, I've met many people who have not increased for most of their life who continually complain, or simply talk about what they want without doing anything about it – usually with an excuse not to do it.
The evidence is overwhelming to me that in order to achieve success in a desired area, there has to be a sense of optimism.
Back in 2004, I created a website to sell computer games. It used a "dropshipper" as the means to take orders and ship the games with my site simply just being the "face" to find games and order. I started using Google Adwords and driving traffic to the site. After about five months, the site broke even. Even so, I was still worried that it was losing money and might not ever make it, so I simply abandoned the project.
Seven years later, I wonder what might have come from that website. Had I stuck with it and been persistent, would it be making a profit today and providing extra income for my family? I will never know, but one thing I have realized is that anytime something new is started, it's probably not going to do well and just plain suck.
But most successful people I've seen started something and stuck with it. Even when there were no positive results in the first few years, they stuck with it and saw it through. Not only that, successful people usually try many things often finding success in only a few areas…
An example of a success
I'm going to present a simple case study of a successful person and show why this person is successful as it correlates to the five principles I've outlined here: hard work, goals and plans, evaluation, optimism, and persistence.
Chalene Johnson
Chalene Johnson is a fitness expert, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. She is the creator of "Turbo Jam" and has found success being a motivational speaker. Let's see how she measures up in the principles outlined…
Hard work
This girl is up early every day and using Twitter and Facebook to constantly stay in touch with her followers. Just look at her accounts: Chalene on Facebook and Chalene on Twitter. These accounts are active with relative information for her audience…
Not only that, she's actively involved in fitness herself. She keeps in great shape. She does videos. She's produced top notch workout DVDs. She has an audio program you can listen to while in your car. She has her own company, Powder Blue Productions. The evidence is staggering that she is working very hard both on her passion, and in promoting her business to other people.
Goals and Plans
Chalene is very clear about who she is – a fitness expert, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. Her primary mantra is "To-Do Lists". Almost daily she talks about them on her Twitter and Facebook account. This simple fact makes it apparent to me that every day she knows exactly what she is going after.
Does Chalene constantly refine and adapt her approach? I don't have concrete evidence to say yes here. I haven't actually asked her what she does in regards to "course correcting" and improving. But she has over 70,000 Facebook followers and over 31,000 Twitter followers. I understand these numbers can be achieved through bloated and automated means, but because these numbers are increasing, it suggests to me she is constantly finding ways to reach out and attract a bigger audience.
She is also heavily invested in personal development. In fact, she recently did a seminar with Brian Tracy, one of the leaders in personal improvement. She has a "Car Smarts" product dedicated to learning while in your car driving. This suggests to me that she is engaged in improving herself and finding ways to gain an edge.
To see if Chalene Johnson is optimistic, simply look at her Facebook and Twitter accounts, and then go to her YouTube channel and watch her videos. She has a contagious enthusiasm and her energy is amazing. I doubt she is walking around depressed wondering what to do with her life…
Chalene mentioned the other day that as a fitness instructor, she was terrible for the first few years. But she stuck with it and achieved great success. That she is constantly engaged in new endeavors (fitness and personal development), and engaged daily on her Twitter and Facebook accounts suggests to me that she is persistent and going to stick with what she is doing for as long as she possibly can.
The next time you feel frustrated with your level of success, first ask yourself these five questions. If you cannot answer a resounding yes to them all, then adjust your behavior and gain the habits until you can answer yes.
- Are you working hard – constantly engaged daily in your endeavors to achieve success?
- Do you have clear goals and plans laid out to achieve the success you desire (including a daily to-do list)?
- Do you evaluate the results of your hard work and goals frequently to see if you are achieving desired results, and making changes (both in your own development and work) to do better?
- Are you optimistic and excited about the future?
- Are you staying persistent DAILY with your efforts to achieve success?

I love Best Friends because they offer hope for animals in need. They have worked to change legislation and the mindset regarding shelter animals. I appreciate the Sanctuary and remembrance for pets that we have lost and will continue to donate to Best Friends.
Best Friends is by far the hardest working group, and most effective group I know! My sister and her husband take their four dogs and drive with every year with them during the summer to stay at Best Friends. My sister cries every time her week at the sanctuary with the animals is up and it's time for them to return home.
I donate to this non-profit at holidays, in honor of family and friends who are also animal lovers, and on loved ones' birthdays in place of things they neither need nor want. The recipients are always so happy to have the donation made in their name. Best Friends Animal Society takes excellent care of every species at their sanctuary and turns no animal in need away. There are so many unwanted animals, and so many who are killed in shelters each year -- Best Friends is always working hard to change that. They deserve this award and a ton of recognition.
REMEMBER EVERYONE TO SPAY AND NEUTER -- its the RIGHT thing to do and prevents over-population!!!
Marie G.
I first became aware of Best Friends while searching for a rescue organization to support, after I discovered my local SPCA was NOT a No-Kill shelter as I believed. I was intrigued by their mission to "Save Them All", and once I started receiving their magazine and reading about all the amazing programs this group has initiated, the legal avenues they have pursued to change laws regarding breed discrimination etc., and the assistance they provide to help communities realize these same goals, I was sold! I made my first visit to the Sanctuary last Fall, where I volunteered for five days, and was blown away by the magnitude of their operation, the amazing people who work with and for these hurting animals, and the education they provide to those of us lucky enough to pass through their doors.
I used to get horrible mailers from other animal welfare organizations showing pictures of abused, neglected, sad animals in an effort to get me to send them money. I threw them away without even opening them. Best Friends Animal Society is the exact opposite: I know when I see an email or mailer from them I am going to smile and feel good, so I open it right away! They tell the success stories, and show pictures of the happy, healthy animals that they have helped to get that way. It is exciting to be part of an organization that has great goals and a plan to get there. I love to send them my donations, knowing that I am a part of something really special that is making a real difference all over the country!!
Positive....one word to describe BFAS. There stories don't dwell on the bad...only the good and the changes they have made towards a better world for animals. They are inspirational!
Best Friends fills such an important role in the animal rights/care community. They advocate for and care for animals and educate the public about so many aspects of animal care and concerns. This is one of the great charities in the U.S. and viewed highly by so many.
Best Friends are amazing. They take the animals that need extra support and care and make sure they have a happy life whether they ultimately get adopted or not.
I had heard about Best Friends a few years ago through some fellow animal lovers and a couple years ago I bought the book "Best Friends" which tells the story of how they started out to what they have accomplished and grown to be now. It was amazing to read that there are actually people out there who are as crazy about animals as I am and it was incredible how much devotion and dedication those men and women had towards this cause that they all deeply believed in. I was blown away by the love that the founders of Best Friends, and all of those who helped them, had for animals and to see what they continue to do for animals to this day has completely restored my faith in humanity. Best Friends truly and genuinely care about the animal welfare and I admire the hard work and big hearts of all of those who are a part of it. They show that there really is a lot of good still left in the world and I respect and thank them for all that they do.
I have visited Best Friends 3 times and there is a special sense just going onto the property. Love for the animals is everywhere. They save animals with profound problems. Additionally they provide support to shelters all over the US. Their goal is to save all animals. If I have a problem or questions about my animals they are quick to answer my email. I LOVE Best Friends.
I love this group, I love everything they stand for and everything they are doing to make the world a better place for animals who are so often overlooked. They ARE making a difference. I look forward to the newsletter and the magazine and read both from beginning to end. I am going on a road trip in July and am making it a point to stop and visit the home base in Kanab Utah.

WiFi coming to Tampa city parks
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA) – WiFi will be coming to Tampa city parks.
Mayor Bob Buckhorn announced that Bright House Networks will make WiFi available to the public in the City of Tampa's downtown, riverfront public parks.
The WiFI, or wireless Internet, will be advertisement-free, and allow any WiFi enabled device, such as a personal computer, tablet or Smartphone, to connect to the Internet. The WiFi will be available free for anyone to use for up to 2 hours per day or 1 GB per month. Once a user surpasses the free allocation, there is an option to purchase additional service.
"This will make it easier for people to spend more time in our urban, riverfront parks and allow them to work while they play," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "Thank you to Bright House Networks for sharing our vision of an active, vibrant riverfront and for making this substantial investment."
The entire length of the Tampa Riverwalk, including the soon-to-be completed Kennedy Plaza Segment, as well as Cotanchobee, Curtis Hixon Waterfront, and Water Works parks will all have WiFi available under the agreement. In addition, Bright House Networks has agreed to provide WiFi in JulianB.LaneRiverfrontPark in the WestRiver area once renovations are completed.
Installation is expected to be complete and the WiFi available for use by the end of 2014.

Feminism | Posted by Beth T on 12/22/2009
It's the word that everyones heard before.
If you're a female you've probably been called it at least once in your lifetime.
A bitch is sometimes that girl who speaks out.
She's labeled a bitch so she'll just SHUT UP already.
[And because I'm a girl and I refuse to shut up I'll proudly claim this name. Yes, I'm a bitch.]
Girls have repeatedly reclaimed offensive terms such as cunt, bitch, slut in order to bring power to the word, and consequently, bring power to ourselves.
It hurts me most when I hear other girls using the word Bitch to describe another female they dislike. In fact, girls hating girls just makes me sad in general. Hating each other to prove something to ourselves and to boys is the opposite of feminism and revolution. There's no unity and there's no progress. There's just hate.
When I hear guys snickering about some "DUMB SLUT" that they "HOPE DIES" my heart starts pounding. I am angry but I am also mortified; embarrassed for their hatred and even more embarrassed that I'm not doing anything about it. [It would be so easy to land my fist in their face, right? But I am not violent I am not violent…]
Some of us are so scared of being talked about like this; being called that nasty B word, that we do ANYTHING to seem otherwise. So we act like the nice girls that we're encouraged to be, with our hair combed straight, trapped in stony silence. Sometimes we are forced into nice girl costumes, contained within silence instead of speaking our minds. But that doesnt mean that we're not letting the Bitch live on inside our heads. Girls who may seem shy and quiet at first can be resisting too. Quiet/loud, white/black, gay/straight…girls everywhere are participating in a sort of revolution where we take off our polite smiles occasionally and say, "Hey were not scared of being called bitches anymore."
Bitch. Both detestable and potent. It makes my skin crawl when boys say it but I also use it to describe my own self-assuredness. It has duality and versatility.
Bitch. What does it mean to me; to you; to girls? It can sound like rebellion, like not giving in, like taking something messed up and negative and making it ALL YOURS.
[I guess we are just a bunch of beautiful and cool bitches ready to change stuff for real.]

I find that more often than not, I'm called a bitch when I do something that is confident, self-assured, and in my own interests.
It's laughable when men use that term, because generally it's an impotent gesture on their part responding to a powerful thing I've done. "Bitch" always comes out when I don't want to date them, fuck them, or give them the attention they're looking for.
Most of the time, the word "bitch" surfaces when I'm most proud of myself. How's that for reclaiming negativity?
Taylor S @ at 12:04 pm, December 22nd, 2009
Wonderful article; very emotionally powerful.
I was actually just thinking about this the other day. Talking about using the word "bitch" or "cunt" and a whole slew of other insults.
In trying to reclaim these insults for ourselves, what kind of actions should be taken?
In using it personally we risk condemnation or even punishment from our superiors. So what is the path to be taken?
Zoe @ at 12:21 pm, December 22nd, 2009
I'm making a New Year's Resolution where I stop using gay-bashing or slut-shaming words in my repertoire of insults. For so many years of my life, I never gave a thought to why I used these words, especially when they didn't reflect my true feelings.
Maybe it would be good to reclaim a few of those words, like bitch or cunt. It would be hard, though. When I say them now, they only ring as insults.
ACW @ at 2:35 pm, December 22nd, 2009
Interesting view. I respectfully disagree. Women using 'bitch' is similar to how some groups will use racial epithets when referring to themselves as a means by which to 'own' the word. Using slurs when referring to each other within a group ends up giving others outside the group permission to do the same. Why is it okay for my best friend to laughingly refer to me as 'bitch' but it's not okay for my boyfriend/ husband/ coworkers to do the same? Rather than participate in that double standard, I encourage those I know to just remove it from their vocabularies. I am not a dog. I am a human. I am difficult at times, outspoken, unyielding, and assertive. Show me a canine that is capable of the higher thought processes that humans are and that can stand up for itself, and then -maybe- I'll allow someone to call me a bitch.
May @ at 3:13 pm, December 22nd, 2009
I HATE the word "bitch" more than any other word that can be use derogatorily to a female. HATE HATE HATE IT!
I find "cunt" empowering, on the other hand and I own it.
Alex Catgirl @ at 5:46 pm, December 22nd, 2009
Joreen beat you to it…by about 41 years :p
Margaret @ at 5:53 pm, December 22nd, 2009
This makes me think of the person who is trying to take back "i'm not being racist but…"
There's a video on it and people's reactions to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrgygfwnCJ0
I definitely usually only hear words like 'bitch' as insults, and the other times are thinly masked insults that the speaker then tries to convince me of.
But the word 'cunt'? I hate that word more than any other. It's horrible and nasty sounding, and it feels wrong when I say it.
Milan @ at 7:41 pm, December 22nd, 2009
Great post! There are other words to reclaim, as well. Once, when a guy yelled at me —
"You bitch!"
I replied:
"What, you stupid whore?"
He was absolutely stunned to silence.
Calling a man a whore, why, it just isn't done!
Steph @ at 8:39 pm, December 22nd, 2009
'Bitch', I like. To me, it means a strong, independent woman who doesn't take anyone's shit.
Reclamation is definitely a good thing, but I think it'll still be a little while before mainstream society gets over it – 'bitch' is still a put-down, 'fag' is a way to cut men down to size, and so on – but it's still a valuable effort.
Also, as a side-note, while I'm totally behind people who own the word 'cunt', I've never quite been able to do so myself – maybe a new year's resolution?
Maia M @ at 11:27 pm, December 22nd, 2009
Hmm… Really, I tend to hear the word "bitch" used to refer to someone who is mean or cruel or nasty, not someone who is outspoken. At my school and all of my other social spheres, there's no association of the word with being loud and outspoken–or rather, if someone does call someone a "bitch" for being vocal about their opinion, then they're saying, "god, this girl is so nasty for holding this opinion about such-and-such," and I think that's a profound and terrible problem with the insulter, but not with the word.
That said, I've never been able to shake the feeling that there's something vaguely derogatory about the word "bitch," but I don't really feel that it's what you articulated… Hmm. This is something I need to think about…
K8 AH @ at 2:08 am, December 23rd, 2009
Words only have the meaning that speaker and listener allow them to. I used to have a very hard time with all of these derogatory words… And then I kind of just grew out of it so to speak. I guess what I am saying is that if someone calls me a bitch, I am not going to get mad about the use of the word…it is just a fucking word… It is the context, the situation, the reason behind the use of the word and the intentions of the person saying the word that are important. I would prefer someone call me a bitch in a friendly way than someone call me a doormat in a malicious way. So what do you all think about the word cock?
Steph @ at 3:50 am, December 23rd, 2009
@K8 AH: I have no issues at all with the word 'cock', and think that if that's what someone wants to call what they've got(be it either flesh or silicone), that's totally their right. I personally tend to use the word in a general sense as opposed to a specific one, i.e. I'm a dyke, so I'm not wild for cock rather than to refer to what I or someone else happen to have under hir pants.
Toongrrl @ at 11:03 am, December 23rd, 2009
Oy, this a huge condundrum. It really does depend on who said it. A good song to listen to is the song "I'm a Bitch"
Taylor S @ at 3:36 pm, December 23rd, 2009
Well, K8 that also depends on the use.
It can be a verb, farm animal, motion of the head, or a part of the anatomy!
As for BITCH, I think I can handle being called that. I kinda feel a spunky connotation surrounding it; the only ones that call me a bitch besides my girlfriends are people that don't wanna hear what I/we have to say. So rock on bitches of the world!
drewsiedrewsie @ at 8:45 pm, December 23rd, 2009
if someone calls me a bitch, i like to believe they are secretly envious that i am free, out speaking my mind, being compleatly bitch-tastic. why would i comform to societys standards of sweet, kind, pure, quiet, when i can be loud, speak my mind, do what i want, and be a huge bitch.
Taylor S @ at 9:34 pm, December 23rd, 2009
Bravo to that drewsie!
Ruth @ at 5:18 am, December 24th, 2009
I'm currently trying to reclaim the word bitch, but the problem is that I end up using the word in my head for both awesome women and nasty ones, but I'll work on that.
Holly @ at 1:48 am, December 25th, 2009
As far as bitch being reowned and being used in a positive light, my friends and I have always said of some women, "That's a bitch I wanna be!" Meaning that we admire that particular woman's direct nature and aggressive attitude. Those qualities that someone might use to degrade that woman as a bitch we instead see as admirable. What do you guys think of that?
K8 AH @ at 6:11 pm, December 26th, 2009
I guess what I was asking about is the word cock in reference to a guy that is a Jerk… as in "that guy is such a cock!" A cock is an animal like a bitch is an animal and both are used as derogatory words to describe a person whose behavior is in some way unacceptable in the eyes of the person using the term. How do you feel about the word Cock being used in that way?
Jordi @ at 2:16 am, January 4th, 2010
Within my group of friends, bitch is still considered to be an insult, even though I think it's lost its harshness: None of my friends really take it offensively. It's more of a joke.
However, the thing that I find interesting is that 'bitch' has become an unisex insult and people at my school are just as likely to call a boy a bitch as a female. Even guys say it to each other. Is that just at my school or do other people do that as well?
Personally, I don't get particularly more upset if someone calls me a bitch rather than a dickhead or a barstard, it's just another insult. I don't call my girlfriends a 'bitch' on a regular basis and wouldn't allow anyone to make it a habit of calling me that either. I agree with AWC; using words that may have a negative connotation within a social group gives persmission for others to do the same and there shouldn't be a double standard.
However, I compltely understand how women may have a positive connotation attached to the word and I respect that.
AcaciaSkye @ at 9:20 am, January 27th, 2010
I've been called a bitch so many times in my life that it's almost a title. Usually it's been by my boyfriend's friends, my male friend's girlfriends, or some other girl I managed to piss off.
I'm not going to say I've never been mad and called a woman a bitch as an insult. But most of the time, if I call someone a bitch it's practically a compliment. My friends joke it's a term of endearment with me, if I say "Hey bitch, come here" you know I like you.
My best friend (who is a boy) will always laugh and tell me that I'm "sure to like her: she's a bitch" when talking about his friends or potential roommates.
I do understand that when I call a woman a bitch in a derogatory way I'm sort of buying into the cycle, but like I said: to me it's my way of saying "Hey, you are on my level, and I think I could be friends with you. Because I am a bitch, and so are you."
rockergrrrl @ at 10:04 am, January 29th, 2010
Once during a class I had this little carton of juice on my desk that I planned on drinking later and this (really douchey) guy comes up to me and says "hey give me your juice." Of course I tell him "no", and he says "you're such a bitch!" and walks away.
I laughed.
A @ at 5:35 pm, August 9th, 2010
@ Maia : same situation. At my school it's for mean people, not outspoken people (though sometimes someone can be both).

Going International for the Small Business Owner with Valerie Berset-Price
Mercy Corps Northwest
Thursday, November 8, 2012 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PST)
Event Details
About the Program
When it comes to international expansion, most business owners have been advised to leave that concept to the companies that are rich and famous, as it is often described as a costly, dangerous, complex and disruptive process. Not so.
Thanks to technology and the reach available at our finger tips, marketing one's products and services is as easy as marketing them across state lines—as long
as you're aware of how to do it and what crucial pitfalls to avoid!
In this session, Huffington Post's International Business Expert and Independent Consultant Valérie Berset-Price will demonstrate why it's essential for a small business owner to think in international terms since inception nowadays, as well as how a small business owner can access and then put to work the myriad information available to assess where to sell/buy/outsource his or her products/services in the international arena.
Participants will leave the session aware of the megatrends at play with regard to the type of customers who await their business in the emerging markets and the resources available to market a product and or service internationally on a shoestring.
Read more about Valerie's take on small business going international.

On-Air Weekday Mornings 5 am - 10 am
I grew up Radford, Virginia but I was actually born in Bangkok, Thailand. (Army Brat) While attending Virginia Tech I worked at WKEX Radio. My first job was to wear the station's mascot costume. I was the "Wacky Bird!" After graduation I moved to Myrtle Beach and was a radio reporter for WNMB. I later worked as a reporter for a Florence based TV station. I moved on from there to a radio station in Richmond, VA then on to Cleveland, Ohio where I worked for Power 108. After one winter in Cleveland I knew I needed a little warmer climate.I was hired as the Morning Co-host and News Director of K-92 in Roanoke, VA. It is at that station where I met Mo. He was hired as K-92�s nighttime jock. After about 8 months, Mo was moved up to do mornings with me. We were dating at the time but nobody knew about it. We got married in 1994 and have been together ever since. Mo and I left K-92 and went to do mornings at B-103 in Richmond, Virginia. Then in 1999 we came to South Florida. We've been on several stations in the West Palm Beach area but KOOL 105.5 has been our professional home since 2003. We have a home in Palm Beach Gardens that we share with our cats Stifler, Stewie and Cleveland. (All strays!)(By the way if my last name seems familiar to those of you who watched the CBS Evening News back in the day, my Uncle was reporter/commentator Eric Sevareid.)

I would have posted this in the Mercs sticky, but I don't know how many of you read that. One of our members (Mirta_Gev, known here is Zammap) built an awesome flash program that can be used for creating a mandalorian character. In the program, you are able to create a light, medium, or heavy style mando in the modern traditional armor. You have the ability to choose from tons of different colors for each section of armor (Ex. Shoe armor, knee, armor, shins, thigh, etc.). The helmet is broken down into I believe 5 sections to color including the RF. You can add a cape, jet pack, lightsaber, hand armor, weathering, blood, and other miscellaneous bits.
This is an awesome tool for everyone! Weather you are just starting the planning of your Mando, your getting ready for a repaint, or you just have an idea and want to see how it looks. Mirta has said that she will probably do some upgrades to it, so if there is something that you don't see but think would be a good addition then let us know. She is also working on a drawing tool for it that will allow you to make your own custom markings on it.
Also..there is a FEMALE VERSION that she is working on also =D

Characteristics of Granite
Granite is used for kitchen and bathroom countertops because of its beauty and durability.
Where does granite come from? Many, many years ago, deep underground, volcanic action melted rock into liquid magma. The magma cooled and solidified, and the result is called igneous rock. Granite is one type of igneous rock. Granite's crystal structure comes from quartz and feldspars. There are many ranges of colors of granite depending primarily on the feldspars. It may also contain mica or other dark minerals. Granite comes in a variety of patterns from similar grain to multicolored stone with veins or various shades depending on how the minerals are distributed. All of this is what makes granite strong, durable and unique.
Granite is almost always polished to a high-gloss finish when used for kitchen or bathroom counter tops. This brings out the unique features of each piece of stone. Depending on where it was mined, granite can include dull spots, fissures or pitting. These add to the stone's beauty and one of a kind quality.
As mentioned previously, granite is made up of a different mixture of quartz, feldspars, and other minerals and that is what gives granite its fine appearance. Sometimes, with a high-gloss finish, some of the crystals in the granite do not polish as shiny as other areas. These areas are known as dull spots or watermarks and can sometimes be seen in the darker areas.
Another characteristic of granite is referred to as pitting. Pitting is what happens when there are small spaces between the different mineral crystals in the stone. Sometimes, while the granite is being polished, some of the small crystals are removed, making the pits easier to see. Different steps are taken while finishing the stone to make the pits less obvious, but they cannot be completely eliminated. Just like freckles or beauty marks on a person, pitting makes each granite slab unique and different from any other. Pitting does not worsen over time with normal use.
Yet another characteristic of granite are fissures, which were created during the cooling process when different flows of hot liquid magma came together and became a single stone. These fissures have always been a part of a specific piece of granite and will not increase or grow as time goes on.
Depending on the piece of granite that you get, it may have more or less pitting, dull spots or fissures as each natural stone is unique. How easily each of these characteristics can be seen also depends on the lighting in the room. Lighting conditions definitely affect how the granite appears.
*** Important ***
None of these characteristics, pits, dull spots, or fissures, affect the quality or integrity of the piece of granite in any way. They are naturally caused from millions of years of volcanic heating, cooling and formation. They make the stone unique, add character to each piece of granite, and make it stand out from manmade materials.

Fashion buy Topshop ombre shirt
Yes, it's slightly reminiscent of those hippy tie dye tee's you used to make in your bath when you were seven, but we're convinced that's a good thing!
We love the zesty coral colour and think it's just the thing to brighten up our gloomy summer blues.
The three quarter sleeves give it a playful edge whilst it's 100% silk credentials make it grownup enough for work-wear.
We're all about the quirky and this shirt's high collar and too-cute pocket are simply detailing at its best.
Be daring and team with turquoise accessories for a spot of on trend colour clashing.

Possible buyers included his partner, William Chang, as well as John Hendricks, chairman of Discovery Communications and owner of the WPS Washington Freedom. In the two years since MacFarlane and Chang had bought the team, a proposed stadium development deal at Poplar Point in Washington had collapsed, and efforts to pursue a deal in Maryland's Prince George's County were rebuffed, while MacFarlane, a real-estate entrepreneur, had begun to look at other investments.
News of such a deal came Thursday and indeed Chang has bought up the shares of his former partner. They, along with minority investors, former Duke basketball stars Christian Laettner and Brian Davis, bought the team from Anschutz Entertainment Group in January, 2007, for a reported $33 million.
No price for the transaction between MacFarlane and Chang has been released; as a result of the deal, Chang will own 98 percent of the shares allotted to teams under the MLS single-entity system, by which the league retains a 50.1 ownership of each teams. Laettner and Davis remain as minority partners.
"We have many challenges ahead for both the team and a stadium site, but I am confident we will emerge successful on both fronts -- including bringing the club to a stronger international level," said Chang. "We will only improve our strategy on and off the field."

Zund - that needs fought tooth and nail - I guess these folks forget that BG's do not obey laws and signs' and hell - those are the people to worry about and not legal good guys! Same old crap eh - no logic, just gut emotion nonsense.
I certainly fully endorse voting with the wallet - move bank accounts, do not patronize - and tell em why!!
No way should this hoops'n'hurdles stuff even have to be fought but it sure needs a wakeup call. When oh when will idiots realize how tempting gun free zones have to be to bad guys - best places to attack.


text: Hey guys i tried to install some Hid's i bought offline and for some reason they wont turn on. It seems on the lights they have a positive and negative wire connector that can plug into the main light source on the car. I tried both front and back but only twice with the negative side it only turned on for a second. And im pretty sure with other wrx same year the key has to be in the igntion to turn on the lights, they still dont turn on, do I have to actually turn the car on? Sorry if this is confusing but i just dont get why they are not turning on, they're brand new

Mashpee Wedding In October
"The cake was excellent. Dottie was great to work with and accommodating. She not only delivered the cake the day of, but her cakes are fresh and not frozen. We were five months pregnant at the time and unaware of what sex the baby was. The Brides mom shared the info with Dottie and she dyed the cake the blue to indicate it was a boy. This was a great way to find out what we were having and be able to share it with family and friends."
Jill and Ken's Wedding
"YUMMY! And it looked beautiful too!"
Mashpee Wedding In August
"Our cake was delicious!! Dottie took the time to sit down with us and design exactly what we wanted. She had many flavors to choose from and was very affordable! I highly recommend her to anyone getting married on the Cape!"
Adelaide and Joseph's Wedding
"Dottie is very easy to work with. My husband and I met with Dottie with an idea of what we wanted. She worked with us to design the perfect cake. Not only was it beautiful, but it was the BEST tasting wedding cake. Very moist and delicious."

Dr. Ress was very gentle and made me feel at ease. The area was numbed completely before I was injected.

F# Async to the max ...
F# is definitely worth learning for many reasons but especially so for cloud computing.
I am using F# Agents (mailbox processors) and Async processing in Azure worker roles. The code ends up being much shorter, cleaner and more understandable.
F# may appear difficult at first but stick with it and I can assure you that your effort will pay off handsomely.

As I'm in the midst of helping a very wonderful friend make her way down the aisle toward wedded bliss, I've been privvy to a few exclamations of, "That costs how much?*" It's an expensive endeavor, to be sure: the average cost of a wedding in the United States was a whopping $28,400.

Think You Can Tell A $99 Wedding Dress From An $1,800 One?
Times used to be, you wanted to buy a wedding dress, you had to go to bridal shops boasting designer creations, with the prices to match. But now retailers are getting into the wedding game, providing cheaper options for customers. Target just threw its veil into the ring with its new line of bridal gowns starting at the low price of $99, which made us wonder — can anyone even pick out the less expensive gowns from their pricier counterparts?

Couple Claims That Bakery Refused To Make Cake For Same-Sex Wedding
What's a wedding without a cake? A decidedly less delicious one, which is why couples heading for the altar are in the habit of testing out cakes before the big day so they can choose their favorite. In other words, they get to eat a lot of cake to find a winner. But one same-sex couple in Oregon is claiming in a complaint filed with the state's attorney general's office that their experience at a local bakery was far from fun when the owner refused to sell them a cake.

My Wedding Band Missed My Wedding, And Macy's Won't Refund Rush Shipping
Okay, Ree probably should have ordered her wedding band a little earlier. Ordering it on November 21 for a November 30 wedding isn't too bad, though: there are six whole business days for it to show up! That's why she accepted the financial penalty of paying for faster shipping. Everything should have been fine. Until, apparently, everything that could go wrong with shipping a piece of jewelry within the same country did. The truck broke down. The ring was delivered to the wrong house. The ring was delivered to the wrong door of the wrong house. In the meantime, Ree had managed to find the same ring in stock at another store in the area. They got married, came back from the honeymoon, and… the original ring hadn't showed up yet.

500 Couples Actually Competed To Get Married In An IKEA
In the past when we've written about oddball retail or fast food weddings, it seemed like the entire planning portion of the nuptials involved asking a manager "Hey, is it cool if we get married here?"

Fancy Hotel Wedding Planner Doesn't Understand How Email's "CC" Function Works
We've all had the horrible "Oh no no I sent that hilarious yet inappropriate email to everyone in the entire office" moment, but there's a difference between slipping up and hitting the "reply all" function, and adding someone as a "cc" or carbon copy (remember paper?) recipient. Which must mean the wedding planner at a fancy British hotel who accidentally revealed her truly snooty feelings about a couple just doesn't know how to use email. [More]
Comfort Inn Boots Wedding Guests From Overbooked Hotel, Doesn't Seem To Care
When you book a block of eight rooms at a hotel, 18 months in advance no less, you'd expect to have a little leverage when the place suddenly realizes it's been overbooked. At the very least, you'd expect a little bit of respect. But a woman in New Jersey says the folks at Comfort Inn were not terribly comforting when they told guests who had reserved rooms for a nearby wedding that they would have to stay elsewhere.
Honeymoon Registry Money Is Less Helpful If It's Sent To Your House In Indiana
Sara's sister got married in the Bahamas a few weeks ago. They had their honeymoon vacation before their wedding ceremony because of the waiting period there, and had set up a registry of stuff to do on their vacation rather than household goods. Honeymoon registries are a growing industry, and Sara's sister chose a small company we won't name. Sarah bought an activity for the couple and also paid a $10 handling fee. In return for that $10, the registry company sent a check to the sister's home in Indiana rather than getting the money to her during her trip when she could actually use it. What was the $10 handling fee for, then, exactly?
Wedding Venue Got A Liquor License, Changed BYOB Policy On Us
Redd and his fiancé started their wedding planning about a year ago. They wanted to have both the ceremony and the reception at the same venue, and found one that seemed ideal. Catering was available, but since the facility didn't have a liquor license, they could bring in their own alcohol. They could save a lot of money that way, since Redd brews his own beer and other types of booze are cheaper to purchase yourself than to buy from a caterer. Months after they signed the contract and paid in full, they learned that the venue had obtained a liquor license. Facility staff insisted that they had the right to change the contract after it was signed, and the Redds would have to purchase their booze from the venue.

Advancing health through science, education and medicine
As Darijan Suton, a doctoral student at Michigan State University says "Being an ACSM member has helped me quite a lot. I have learned a lot by presenting at the meetings, especially on how to communicate, present, and express ideas. I also think that meeting people from different backgrounds helps with professional development, and overall interaction is beneficial. It has also helped me to learn quicker I think, just by reading papers or updates on current events in ACSM, and competing for awards, etc." The best way to take advantage of these and other benefits of ACSM membership is to join now and get involved. Ask your Regional Student Representative for ways to connect with ACSM – he or she might ask you to help plan a regional student activity, or they might suggest you run for Student Rep yourself!
