Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Good evening. I'll be assisting you with your question.
To answer your first question, no you did not necessarily cause a warrant to be issued. The police decide when to issue a warrant, and they do so when they think they have enough evidence. You simply started the ball rolling, then they conduct their investigation.
If you don't want to press charges, you can go to the DA's office (if charges are eventually brought) and complete an affidavit of non-prosecution. It is a form you fill out basically stating that you don't want to bring charges. Keep in mind, however, that just because you fill out the affidavit of non-prosecution, that does not mean the DA can't bring charges, it is just something they can take into consideration when deciding.
Whether you bring charges or not will not affect your liability for the fence. Either way you are not liable.
Thanks. What are the odds then that he will face charges since he was not found at the scene and the only evidence is my statement that he took the car without permission?
It really depends on the other evidence available.
It may be a stupid question, but what other evidence might there be? It would seem to be only my report. To my knowledge, the car was towed and the police did not examine it.
There could have been witnesses (neighbors, etc.). Other than that, not much.
Also, at some point, they may attempt to interview him. He could make admissions.
It was out in the country, no neighbors, and it took the police half a day to locate it. Thanks again. As long as I'm not liable for anything I would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie and hope that he will have a chance to get himself straight--and he will not be coming back to live with me.
I understand. Can I help you with anything else?
That's it. I will send in my rating.


text: I'm service connected for both of my knees, dating back to 2006. I had an appeal decision for my left knee April 2012. The VA gave me a 10% rating and I received retroactive pay back to 2006. Here is my question.. The VA is about to rate my right knee and I'm confused about my rating. I was told by my VSO that my rating will only go back to November 2009 and that's the date of my PKR surgery. He said my knee status changed due to me getting a PKR. I told him that my PKR and TKR were both related to my knee issues that existed when I was medically separated in 2006. He then said that my knee status is different now because of the PKR and TKR. I told him that when my Dr did my surgery in 2009, he wanted to scope my knee but I didn't want a scope. I was tired of surgeries but he said that was the only way. I asked my Dr to look at some pictures(over three years old) from a surgery that occurred before I got out of the military. He took one look and he said lets schedule you a surgery and I was shocked. He told me that my knee looked as if I was 80 years old. He asked how had I walked around like this for over three years and I said in a lot of pain. I had him put this in writing and submitted it as medical evidence. The PKR failed and I had a TKR two years later in Nov 2011. My VSO said that it still doesn't matter but other people have said that was good evidence. Therefore ; I think my knee rating next week should be retroactive back to 2006. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone

The Bevis Frond
Saloman cloaked his formative years in mystery; according to legend, he formed his first band, the Bevis Frond Museum, during his school years, and after the group disbanded he performed solo acoustic sets throughout the London area known as Walthamstow. After founding the Von Trapp Family, later known as Room 13, Saloman was sidelined in 1982 following a motorcycle accident. With the money he received as compensation for his injuries, he revived the Bevis Frond name and during his recuperation period assembled 1986's Miasma, a slice of twisted, latter-day psychedelia issued on Woronzow in a pressing of 250.
Much to Saloman's shock, the record sold out. Realizing an audience existed for his brand of time-warped pop, he quickly issued Inner Marshland in early 1987; the LP was another underground success that encouraged him to raid his extensive archives for more material. Double LP Bevis Through the Looking Glass also appeared that year. With the floodgates opened, new Bevis Frond material -- much of it written and recorded at Saloman's home long before it ever saw release -- appeared constantly; in 1988 alone, Woronzow issued three separate collections: Triptych, The Auntie Winnie Album, and Acid Jam, all spotlighting his surreal wit and acute social commentary. Beginning with 1990's Any Gas Faster, Saloman was secure enough financially to begin recording in an outside studio; as the new decade dawned, he also made his live debut, appearing sporadically with an ever-changing group of backing musicians.
After 1990's Magic Eye, a joint collaboration with former Pink Fairy Twink, the Bevis Frond issued its acknowledged masterpiece, 1991's double-LP set New River Head. Erratic and eclectic, Saloman's output continued on without concession to trends or consumer tastes, with new albums appearing with clocklike precision: 1992's London Stone, 1993's It Just Is, 1994's Sprawl, 1995's Superseeder, 1996's Son of Walter, 1997's two-disc North Circular, and 1999's Vavona Burr, plus the excellent concert recording Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco and Eat Flowers & Kiss Babies, a collaboration with Country Joe McDonald. Valedictory Songs followed in 2000 on a new label, Rubric, which also reissued the early Bevis Frond albums with different bonus tracks. Additionally, What Did for the Dinosaurs appeared in 2002 with The Hit Squad following in 2004.
After releasing albums at an astonishing rate for more than 15 years, apparently a hiatus was in order and it was seven years before the Bevis Frond reappeared in 2011 with Leaving of London, back on Saloman's Woronzow imprint. A double-disc follow-up, White Numbers, featuring longtime collaborators guitarist Paul Simmons, bassist Ade Shaw, and drummer Dave Pearce, was released in 2013. Later in the year, Live from the 4th Psychedelic Network Festival 2011, another double album, was released. Cherry Red released a Bevis Frond retrospective compilation, High in a Flat, in 2014. A new full-length studio album, Example 22, appeared in 2015. Early the next year, Fire Records signed up to reissue the extensive Bevis Frond back catalog beginning on Record Store Day with vinyl re-pressings of Miasma and Inner Marshland. ~ Jason Ankeny

How People Can Choose The Best Exercise Clothes
There are a number of people that do not think that workout clothes are the main consideration when working out, but it is still important to make sure that people wear good workout clothes. If people choose the right workout clothes then they can bring the real benefits in trying to enable them to train comfortably and help them make sure that they stay comfortable and also maintain their body heat.
The right Pure Strength workout gear is really beneficial because it can really help them wick away any buildups of perspiration which can form that can easily cool their skin and can cool them down when they stop for a break.
It is also critical to make sure that their exercise clothes allow unrestricted movement so that they would now get impeded when they are working out. When exercising outdoors it is important to use a layering system to keep them warm and dry when the weather is bad and enable their body to naturally repel moisture away from their skin.
The base layer of these exercise clothes must be thin and is made of wicking moisture away to the upper layers so that it can be disbursed into the air. This would be often made of truly light man-made fiber like polypropylene and also natural fiber like wool which can easily attract and also push perspiration to the outer layers. Learn more at http://www.ehow.com/how_4423246_work-out-crossfit-program.html.
The second layer is for insulation to keep them warm because this is important when people are training outside of their home and also gym. This can be done especially in cold conditions or in areas where there are no ready access to warm environment after their workout. The third layer must be made of waterproof and also windproof materials which is also light and highly breathable so that it will keep them warm and also try but also allow moisture to easily pass through.
Another important part of their exercise clothes are also their shoes, it is also an important part of their exercise gear so that they can exercise comfortably and also would not have any kinds of injuries on their own feet, shin and also thighs. People need to do research on the different Pure Strength Fitness Equipment that they are going to have. They need to make sure that they are comfortable when they are working out and can easily achieve what they want in their workout session.

Recently purchased and shifted good until I took it off road.
Tranny will not shift when it warms up.
No problem moving the shifter column through the gears but will not do anything.
When I shut it down and let it cool down it works.
I tried to check fluid level but it was hard to tell on the dip stick.
I added fluid but does the same thing.:confused:
Also, what fluid does it take?
Hey dude change ur filter and fluid and replace two of those bottles of tranny fluid with lucus tranny repair fluid 2quarts.
Works almost every time if that doesn't fix your problem change your shift solinoid
does it have tranny cooling lines?
Yes it does
To much fluid can blow out your seals be careful. Also you could put on an aftermarket cooler for the tranny. But a fluid and filter change should fix it.
Gonna try the cheapest way first. Fluid and filter.
Could probably use it regardless.
Hope it works.
Thanks to all
hey milman, did the filter and fluid change work?
im having exact same problem thats why i ask.
let me know if it worked, thanks.
So far it has been working just right.
Changed the filter & tranny fluid with lucus tranny repair fluid 2quarts.
The filter was really dirty. I only take it off road.
Same problem here as the OP, yet mine was serviced this past January. This is not a daily driver and I've only put 950 miles on it since then. Besides fluid the shop also added 1qt "Lucas Trans Additive". Is that the same as "Repair"?
I plan to flush and replace the filter myself. Will 2 qt's, of Lucas Repair, make a difference over just the one?
BTW, I have a new Hayden Trans Cooler still in the box collecting dust. Would it be a good idea to install it at the age of my Jeep (178k miles) or bad?
Thanks for any help.
I would use 2 quarts cause of the miles & new filter.
Trans cooler would be a good move, again cause of the miles.
Thanks. I'll give it a go.
Are the 2 qts of Lucas in place of 2 qts of trans fluid?

Fearne Cotton announces surprise pregnancy
Fearne Cotton
Fearne Cotton has revealed that she and boyfriend Jesse Wood are expecting their first child together.
The radio and TV presenter announced her baby joy on Twitter, writing: "Jesse and I have some news!!!!!"
The 30-year-old then posted a link to her website with a statement which read: "Jesse and I are very happy to announce we are having a baby.
"We are over the moon, morning sickness aside (me, not Jess) and looking forward to the little Cotton Woods arrival."
The Radio 1 DJ has been dating Jesse, who is the son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, since last July.
Although this will be her first child, it will be her musician boyfriend's third.
Guitarist Ronnie, 65, is thrilled at the forthcoming addition to the family.
He told the Daily Mail: "Fearne's a beautiful girl. They're lovely together. I met her when she came to a Faces gig with Jesse at Cornbury Festival. I very much approve.
"She's rock 'n' roll. I do wonder if she'll become my daughter-in-law any time soon."
Fearne revealed that fellow TV presenter - and mother-of-two - Holly Willoughby is delighted for her best friend: "She's actually really happy for me. In fact, I don't think she's ever been so pleased for me."
The presenter's Celebrity Juice co-host Keith Lemon tweeted his congratulations as soon as the news was announced.
He said: "I am so happy for you Fearne. Honestly. Greatest news ever. Can't wait to see your milk trucks. Love Keith x."
The Radio 1 DJ has publicly spoken of her happiness with Wood after a tempestuous on-off romance with former fiancé Jesse Jenkins.
Speaking in May, Fearne admitted to The Sun: "This time last year, I was probably quite miserable, but Jesse turned that around. I'm content for the first time ever - it's a really good feeling."
Speculation intensified this week that the former children's TV presenter was pregnant after she was spotted leaving the Radio 1 building covering up her tummy with baggy jumpers and an oversized bag.
Congratulations Fearne and Jesse!

re: pattern matching in M
somebody wrote:
x = {{3,4},{2,3},{1,2},{5,6}}
he or she wants to pick out the pairs whose second elements are either 2 or

here you go:
Cases[x, {_,2}|{_,6}]
{{1, 2}, {5, 6}}
Cases[x, {_,2}|{_,6}]/.List->Plus
this doesn't work because it replaces every occurance of List
Apply[Plus,Cases[x, {_,2}|{_,6}]]
{6, 8}
this works fine since it only replaces the head of the entire expression
Cases[x, {_,2}|{_,6}]/.{x_, y_} :> x + y
{6, 8}
this also works fine

The Migration of Ghosts (original 1998; edition 1999)

The Migration of Ghosts by Pauline Melville (1998)

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0747542791, Paperback)Pauline Melville is the most exuberant of fatalists. In her second collection, The Migration of Ghosts, she moves between the civilized and the visceral, her tales phantasmagoric and hyperreal. In the first story, "The President's Exile," a brutal, petty, and very dead South American politician is assailed by his own sense of fraudulence as he relives scenes from his rise to power. President Hercules had always prided himself on his grasp of reality, "and it was this that made his present position so disturbing. He was not sure exactly what the reality was." Another more rambunctious tale is set in London, on the day of the Notting Hill Carnival. Six months earlier, Mrs. da Silva's husband-to-be went off for some rice but decamped to Marion, Ohio, instead. Now our sizable heroine, who has never missed a carnival--and whose "shimmying is like an earthquake in motion"--is on the road to renewal and, with luck, romance. Moving among several participants, Melville paints the day's explosive, jolly mayhem, creating nothing less than life's rich--and hilarious--pageant. Mrs. da Silva's son, for instance, suddenly has to head for the hospital, still dressed as "a muscular devil with stubby horns, fork, a black-and-red torso and painted legs stuck with tufts of goat hair." Needless to say, his getup is to have a lasting effect: "Two hours later, a tiny infant, fifteen minutes old, opens his eyes briefly in the delivery room, looks up from his father's arms and knows that life is going to be a nightmare."
Elsewhere, Melville's vision is less comic, though she rarely offers anything approximating a moral. In "Provenance of a Face," a reporter isn't too thrilled by her latest assignment, an interview with a celebrated mime who turns out to be far from the silent type. But what seems a satire about a monstrous ego turns into another thing entirely, thanks to one of the author's many reversals. Finally, no discussion of this book would be complete without some reference to "The Parrot and Descartes," an intellectual history with an avian difference. In 1611 an easily ruffled South American bird is captured and brought to England as a wedding gift for James I's daughter. Our feathered friend seems to possess eternal life--which in his case is far from a gift--and now he's condemned to witness mankind's every doltish move, including "one of the worst productions of The Tempest the world has ever seen." Books are just one of Monsignor Parrot's pet peeves, since he represents the oral tradition. Happily for us, Pauline Melville disagrees, and has written it all down. --Kerry Fried

Magical Moments, New Adventures/
In the beginning, I tried to keep Noah away from the TV. Partly because that's what I was "supposed" to do, and partly because I didn't want to taint his pure, uninfluenced imagination.
But then he heard The Hot Dog Song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on YouTube (because apparently YouTube clips didn't count?), and it became the first "kid" song that he loved. More than that, he was inexplicably drawn to Mickey — except he called him "hot dog" because, strangely, "hot dog" was one of the first phrases he could say, and who was Mickey Mouse? (Funny side note: We took 20-month-old Noah to a Halloween party where a 6-ft. Mickey Mouse scared the living crap out of him, and he woke up in the middle of the night sobbing "HOT DOG, HOOOOT DOG!")
So much of who he is right now is songs and role play and imagination. Performing. And as much as he loves books, the lyrics and scripts that he repeats and expands on can always be linked back to a movie or TV show.
His fell in love with Winnie The Pooh characters early on, which inspired countless of my own original bedtime stories, and continues to inspire his artwork choices and adorable phrases (like when he walks outside on a cloudy day and says "Tut tut, looks like rain!").
It was Sleeping Beauty's three good fairies who sparked his ongoing fascination with wands, magic, and everything that comes with wands and magic. Cinderella (every version ever made) solidified his love.
Toy Story single-handedly launched a million reenactments to infinity and beyond. (He has about four or five Buzz Lightyears, which can be found on him almost as often as a wand. And how awesome are his cardboard Buzz Lightyear wings that Justin whipped up?)
So when I was asked to join Disney Baby, of course my answer was yes. As much as I planned to avoid all kinds of mainstream characters and TV shows, Disney truly has been at the center of so much of Noah's magic. It's undeniable. He doesn't sit in front of the television all day mindlessly watching cartoons, but he does use those characters and story-lines as jumping off points for his own imaginative adventures. (True story: His favorite show is Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior, and it was the only thing that got him over his fear of the doctor. He regularly walks around the house with a play stethoscope dangling around his neck, asking me to diagnose his toys' ailments.)
Disney brought magic into his life, and for that I'm grateful.
You'll find more of my product picks over on Disney Baby, as well as more pregnancy advice and mom-to-mom tips (in addition to Babble.com and right here, of course). And I'll be joining a fantastic team with some of my favorite bloggers:
This post is sponsored by Disney Baby. I'll be joining the Disney Baby blogging team next month, and look forward to sharing these kinds of stories (projects/ideas/etc) with you over there! Stay tuned for more details!

|the search api?

Paul Davis' work on integrating couch and xapian<http://code.google.com/p/couchprojects/source/browse/trunk/query_servers/xapian/README?r=23>seems like a good jumping-off point. But it seems to me it would be great if I could do something like this with an abstraction layer between couch and the search software (as an added bonus the code wouldn't have to be GPL'd and could be distributed with couch). From what I can tell pyndexter<http://swapoff.org/wiki/pyndexter/docs>looks like a nice option -- it's got a great API and even has its own built-in engine (pure-python, so slow, but no additional deps). Plus pluggable multilingual stemming and a nice query syntax, etc... I'm going to see if I can't turn this into a generic middleware layer that can catch couch's updates on stdin to update the index, but I don't even know where to begin in connecting the query server. From what I gather, there's no longer a /db/_search api -- how are these calls supposed to be invoked? Any information would be fantastic. Couch has proved everything I've wanted and more -- but I'd kill for a servicable search option... Dean

Giving Thanks
November 26th, 2009 | Published in Youtube
Last week, ABC News' Good Morning America asked you to share videos about what you're thankful for. In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, many of you have answered their call and invited others on YouTube to create their own "thankful for" lists.
You're thankful for lots of stuff, including your families, your good health, and the everyday things in your life that often go unnoticed. Some of you even shared deeply personal stories about why you're grateful.
We're running a special spotlight on the homepage today to showcase some of these videos, and this morning, Good Morning America featured a selection on television in honor of today's holiday. Take a look here.
Happy Holidays -- with thanks.

Excellent prompt service by a very professional team. Recommend Ice Asbestos to carried your work in a very professional way. Thanks Tony for your excellent service.
After a standard, non specific and vague comment on a house valuation about care needing to be taken around possible asbestos in an old property, I was thrown into panic. Tony and his colleague came around at short notice and assured me that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. It was so reassuring and refreshing to be dealt with in such a fair and reasonable manner. ICE were the right people to call and I recommend them unreservedly. Thank you.
Tony and his team have been on site and have carried out an assessment of the work needed to remove some asbestos containing material from a domestic setting. Ahead of the actual treatment work being carried out I can say that I am extremely pleased with how the assessment was carried out. They were punctual, friendly and gave a very honest assessment - being open about areas where they didn't think there as any risk as well as where there was risk. I've received test results which confirms t...
Many thanks for your very efficient and professional service. We contacted the company Monday, a representative came Tuesday morning and we had the lab. result that afternoon. Excellent service.
Tony came out in the evening as I was concerned that I had artex containing asbestos. He was so helpful and said it's definitely not asbestos and not to worry. He didn't even charge me for the advice as he could clearly see it was not the case. He was so helpful and trustworthy, it would have been easy for him to take money from me and he didn't. It's great to meet someone with such integrity, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks Tony!

Stockport Council backs down over Excel's bad signs
[5 Feb 2012] Stockport Council has backed down from its bullish position that the controversial signs at the Peel Centre car park are 'illegal advertisements' that lack the planning permission they need. It now says that because the landowner claims the signs have been in place for more than 10 years, the council will do nothing because the signs benefit from 'deemed consent' – even if the landowner's claim proves to be untrue. (Download the sign here: 2MB.)
'The Council has fully assessed this case and, having regard for all material considerations, is satisfied that it would not be in the public interest to progress with further enforcement action, should the land owners fail to submit a planning application or provide sufficient evidence that the signs have been in place for over 10 years.'
This is code for 'It would cost us too much to take on Peel Holdings, the landowners, so we won't bother – even if they're telling us porkies.'
The transport minister responsible for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has refused to act on the Peel Centre signs, which are potentially raking in more than £300,000 a year for the car-park operator, Excel Parking Services Ltd of Sheffield. This follows the DVLA's failure to take action against the trade body it accredits to oversee private parking, the British Parking Association (BPA). The DVLA merely asked the BPA to investigate Excel and its signs, but did not require the BPA to investigate impartially or have the work done by specialists in legibility or driver behaviour.
In a court case on 15 September 2011, Excel admitted they'd imposed £100 charge notices on 11,498 drivers who'd failed to 'pay and display' at the car park during a three-year period up to March 2010. The judge found the signs to be inadequate and dismissed Excel's claim for breach of contract against a driver it took to court.

Katz on Dogs
Katz on Dogs
A Commonsense Guide to Training and Living with Dogs
By Jon Katz
Villard, Hardcover, 9781400064038, 272pp.
Publication Date: October 4, 2005
In a nation where our love of dogs keeps growing and dog ownership has reached an all-time high, confusion about dogs and their behavioral problems is skyrocketing. Many dogs are out of control, untrained, chewing up furniture, taking medication for anxiety, and biting millions of people a year.
Now, in this groundbreaking new guide, Jon Katz, a leading authority on the human-canine bond, offers a powerful and practical philosophy for living with a dog, from the moment we decide to get one to the sad day when one dies. Conventional training methods often fail dog owners, but Katz argues that we know our dogs better than anyone else possibly could, and therefore we are well suited to train them. It is imperative, he says, that we think rationally and responsibly about how we choose, train, and live with the dogs we love, and the more we learn about ourselves, the better we can recognize their wonderful animal natures. Misinterpreting dogs is a profound obstacle to understanding them.
Katz believes that both people and dogs are unique–a chow differs from a Lab just as a city dweller differs from a farmer–and he describes how such individuality isn't addressed by even the best and most popular training methods. Not every training theory is for everyone, notes Katz, but almost anyone can train a dog and live with him comfortably. Katz on Dogs is filled with no-nonsense advice and answers to such key questions as:
• What kind of dog should I have? Is there is a specific breed or kind of dog for my personality, family, or living situation?
• What is the best way to train a dog?
• Can I trust my vet?
• How often (and for how long) can a dog be left alone?
• Is it preferable to have only one dog, or are more better?
• What are the secrets to successful housebreaking?
• What are my dogs thinking, if anything?
• How can I walk my dog instead of having her walk me?
• Is it ever okay to give away a dog you love?
• When is it time to put my dog down?
Katz draws from his own experience, his interactions with thousands of dog owners, vets, breeders, dog rescue workers, trainers, and behaviorists, and he has tested his approach with volunteer dog owners around the country. Their helpful and often inspiring stories illustrate how all of us can live well with our dogs. You can do it, Katz contends. You can live a loving and harmonious life with your dog.
Praise for The Dogs of Bedlam Farm
"An inspiring portrait of the human-animal bond, The Dogs of Bedlam Farm traverses an emotional terrain that ranges from embattled spirit to celebratory energy. And it made me a Katz fan for life."
–The Seattle Times
"You are a lucky reader if you pick up this rewarding memoir full of insight, humor, and hard-won wisdom."
–The Providence Journal
"A potent stew of triumphs and failures, all tied together by the constancy of complicated, joyful, lovable dogs."
–Publishers Weekly
"Funny, touching, and insightful . . . a perfect gift for the introspective dog owner."
–AKC Gazette

Re: StoppingTest options (need help)
You can use EventLocator for localization of some event (in your case
coordinates {1,2,3}). Since EventLocator is trying to find this situation by
several methods and it have a lot of settings, I recommend you to have a
look at Advanced documentation for NDSolve.
First You can try this illustrative example i made for you (equation of the
second order) and you can follow basic ideas of this approach without
reading documentation
from = 0;
to = 20;
eqn = {u''[x] + Sin[u[x]] == 0, u[0] == 1, u'[0] == 0};
sol = u /. NDSolve[eqn, u, {x, from, to}][[1]];
stoppingTime = to;
solStopped = u /. NDSolve[eqn, u, {x, 0, 20},
Method -> {"EventLocator", "Event" :> u'[x], "EventAction" :>
Throw[stoppingTime = x,
Plot[sol[t], {t, from, to}, PlotStyle -> Hue[0.7], DisplayFunction ->
Plot[solStopped[t], {t, from, stoppingTime}, PlotStyle -> Hue[0.],
DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[%, %%, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];
As you can see, the integration of equation is finished when the derivative
is equal to zero - event u'[x] (analogically you cas put event "u[x]-const"
and integration is going until solution reach value "const", or you can use
however complicated expression..).
I hope, that it will help you.

Via Palermo, 3600184 Rome - ITALY. Phone / Fax - +39-064817680
Mobile Phone - 0347-6347139 "
Gulliver's House is a hostel my friend and I found by chance in Rome. It is located on Via Palermo, quite close to the Termini Station, but not so close as to still be in the 'dodgy' immediate vicinity of the station. It is just off the Via Nazionale, which buses run up and down very frequently, and it isn't too far from the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia. As for the hostel itself, there are a couple of 12 bedded dorms and one double room. There's no real communal area, apart from the area by reception where there are some comfy chairs, and a tea/coffee/water machine. The shower is really good, which is a definite bonus in a hostel. When we were there, there was a good mixture of nationalities, Americans, Germans, Italians from elsewhere in Italy, Japanese, and everyone was friendly. It wasn't just 'young' people either. There isn't a kitchen, but you can put things in their fridge if you ask. The owners were very helpful and speak English, Spanish and Italian (obviously, being italian!). They know the areas and were good about advising places to go or not go. They also have a really cute, extremely fluffy dog. I'm not sure what breed it is, but it's like a big white fluffy ball! They also got us all some pastries on Sunday for breakfast (but usually breakfast isn't included.. I'm not sure if this was an 'every sunday' thing or just because they felt like it!). They also have some arrangement with a local restaurant to do a cheaper set meal if you are staying at the hostel. We went there one night and it was very authentic!! There is a curfew of, I can't remember exactly, but I think 2am, but if you tell them in advance that you want to be back later, then they will make sure you get in! (by staying up to let you in!). There is also a lock-out during the day, I can't remember the exact times, but I think it&
#39;s from midday until 4pm, when they clean the place up and have a bit of a break! It was really very quiet and civilised for a hostel, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to stay cheaply in Rome. It cost 25,000 lire a night (which is about £8), although the double room costs more. There is an internet connection which you can pay for to check your email, but I don't know how much it cost because I never did this. They have a website www.gullivershouse.com where you can check prices and book accommodation on-line before you arrive in Rome. I believe it fills up quite quickly so it might be worth booking in advance.

It was a nightmare, after arriving I had to wait 20 minutes until someone asked me if I am a customer. The massage was the worst ever, no skills, no chance to relax. The batteries of the fire alarm (in the treatment room) were beeping all the time, because the batteries need to be changed. And after I told the masseur that it is really annoying, she didn't respond. Just laughed about it. I'm glad that I had a voucher, but it was a waste of time. I just can recommend tp everybode to never to go there.

There are many miraculous things on the Web today; advertising is not one of them. So said Walt Mossberg, in conversation with Google's Susan Wojcicki and Sundar Pichai at the D: All Things Digital conference on Thursday. But with one caveat: Google seems to serve the right ads when people want them. "One of the things that really matters is the moment," said Wojcicki, who is SVP of ads for the search giant. That's ingrained into Google's flagship product, search. Search brings intent, a focus on finding a specific thing at a specific time. "Ad information, and targeting to serve the right ad at right time, makes a difference." From that moment, Google's machine-learning smart ad systems — known internally as "Smartass," says Wojcicki — kick in, playing a key part in the system's success at showing the most relevant ads, featured in the most prominent positionsRead More
One question Sundar Pichai gets a whole lot is why Google has both Chrome OS and the ecosystem around it, including its own devices — which are under his purview — and the Android mobile operating system. It's gotten to the point that even his mother asked him that question, Pichai said. When Walt Mossberg asked it at D10 today, Pichai replied that he thinks the criticism is a bit unfair. Google's competitors like Microsoft and Apple maintain different operating systems for mobile and desktop. "Android is extremely successful," he said. "We couldn't be more proud of it, and we have exciting plans with tablets, as well." But Chrome, Pichai said, is a "fundamentally different way of computing." Applications and data both live in the cloud, and there's "virtually zero administration" of the devices. Chromebooks may not have been super successful yet, but Google has now revised the interface and will soon have more of a physical retail presence, Pichai said. "This is a journey," he said.

Jon Leibowitz is no newcomer to Washington. He has been at the Federal Trade Commission since 2004, dealing with antitrust issues at a national level. But his job looks much different today than it did eight years ago. Facebook and Google have grown into juggernauts of the Internet — Facebook holds your years of status updates, location data and photos; Google has your trove of Google account data, including years of search queries. They're two of a few Silicon Valley giants who have singularly formed the concept of identity in the digital age. And it's Leibowitz's job to make sure these big boys are playing by the rules. Leibowitz discussed a few of his organization's stances on privacy, market competition and other topics in conversation with Walt Mossberg at our D: All Things Digital conference on Thursday. There's the good news: Leibowitz says that inside the Beltway, issues surrounding privacy aren't divided between the red and the blue.

London Welsh have lost around £4million over the last two seasons.
It is understood that Welsh lost £1.8m while gaining promotion to the Premiership and their debut season in the top flight has incurred losses of around £2.2m.
The club's major financial supporter Kelvin Bryon will end his backing this summer, leaving Welsh with no option but to cut costs as they prepare for life in the Championship.
Relegation from the Premiership, which was confirmed on Sunday, is estimated to cost a club £2m in lost revenue, although the Welsh will bank a £1.4m parachute payment.
Chairman Bleddyn Phillips admits the club may not be able to afford the rental costs of the Kassam Stadium at Oxford when they drop a division. A return to Richmond-based Old Deer Park, which has a very limited capacity, seems the only alternative.

JASPER, Ala. — It was throwback week for Gerald Swindle at the Bass Pro Shops Southern Open #3, held on the very lake where he began tournament fishing as a teenager.
Going retro was all in the plans for Swindle, 42, who finished the tournament with a 7th-place finish on Lewis Smith Lake.
Above all else, the trip down memory lane was lined with confidence in the baits and techniques he used all week.
"When you have so many years of fishing with the same lure and have confidence in a lake then it makes sense to go back to what's always worked," he said. "That's why I went old school."
He scored on a vintage lure and ran a reliable pattern dating back to his nighttime jackpot tournament days. The connection to the past came with an Arkie Jig. It was invented in the 1970s and became the forerunner of weedless jigs used ever since for trophy largemouth fishing.
Swindle's choice for the week was the classic 3/8-ounce all-brown Arkie Jig. He tipped it with a Zoom Super Chunk for added strike appeal.
"That's the jig I grew up fishing here," said Swindle. "It's just perfect for skipping beneath docks and it's a good brushpile jig with the weedguard."
With the jig he did both. That involved targeting submerged brushpiles and skipping docks positioned near deep water.
A reliable old school buzz bait complemented Swindle's arsenal of lures for the week. He retrofitted a 3/8-ounce bait with an oversized 1/4-ounce blade for enhanced noise.
"It's the same theory as the jig," he added. "I learned to rig it that way years ago."
The buzz bait presentation involved running the lure through visible brushpiles in shallow water.
Swindle stood firm all week with his decision to forgo fishing for the lake's plentiful population of spotted bass. Instead, he was one of few anglers making the long run from the launch site at the dam to the headwaters.
In the riverine setting of the lake he targeted largemouth bass in a deliberate move to catch bigger fish. Even so he encountered spotted bass in some places, providing a bonus opportunity to fill a limit.
The plan worked well all week until the weather changed on Saturday. Cloudy skies and intermittent rain scattered the fish. Even so, Swindle went home with new memories rooted in the past.
"It was fun to go back in time after fishing so many years on this lake," he said. "I travel so much across the country and rarely get the chance to fish this way."

Sexually transmitted infection: An infection that can be transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. In this context, sexual contact is more than just sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal) and also includes kissing, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators.
Examples of some of the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are:
- Chlamydia,
- genital herpes,
- genital warts,
- gonorrhea,
- hepatitis B, and
- syphilis.
The term "sexually transmitted infection (STI)" corresponds to and is meant to replace the older term "sexually transmitted disease (STD).

The Queens Museum of Art is looking to the past with a pair of new exhibits: one delving into the origins of the 1939 World's Fair at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and the other reaching back into people's memory for the objects that spark remembrances of significant moments.
"Future Perfect: Re-Constructing the 1939 New York World's Fair" is an exploration of the legacy of Flushing Meadows Corona Park — the museum's home — as the site of the 1939 World's Fair.
The fair was a collection of numerous feats of engineering and architecture from around the world, and this exhibit shows just how its organizers made it all come together in the park, which in the early 1930s was little more than a neglected ash dump.
Curated by Louise Weinberg, the museum's registrar and archives manager, the exhibit's aim is to give visitors an inside look at the preparation and effort that went into making the fair a reality.
"When you think about it, they built a small city," Weinberg said during a tour of the exhibit. "All of the infrastructure they had to create — the electrical, the roads, the sewers — to bring this small city into production, it's just miraculous."
The exhibit, which runs through Aug. 14, includes photographs, memorabilia and other items related to the fair — all organized in a way that gives the collection a historical narrative.
Nick Milanes, an English major at Fordham University at Lincoln Center in Manhattan, said the exhibit was thought-provoking in that it gave context to the history of the landmark event.
"I'm really interested in this time period of the '30s and '40s and the optimism in science and technology, which I think is ironic in a way because science and technology are a bit of a double-edged sword," he said. "Technology is at once making and breaking the world. This is reflected in what I'm reading about in these displays."
The exhibit opened April 10 in conjunction with the creation of a collaborative art project that day at QMA by the FreeStyle Art Collective based on the Unisphere, the most recognizable relic of the 1964 World's Fair.
Also on view through Aug. 14 is "Not the Way You Remembered," a showcase of works that incorporate items, ranging from an earring to a collection of sports trophies, chosen by artists because of their relevance to events in their pasts.
Like the Madeleine in Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time," these selections serve as jumping-off points for an exploration of personal history.
"It's about memory formation and how ordinary objects can wield value for people," said the show's curator, Jamillah James, a Van Lier Fund Fellow at QMA. "It can be as simple as a piece of paper from your past. An item can spark an emotional charge or some sort of emotional meaning for someone."
Artist Jason Lazarus attended the opening April 4, where his piece "Too Hard to Keep" was prominently displayed near the front of the gallery space.
The work is a "lifelong project," he said, in which he collects photographs that people derive pain or negative emotions from viewing, and posts for them public viewing as an aggregate of their collected experiences. Some of the photographs depict people kissing, some show young children and some show people participating in everyday life — but no explanations accompany them.
"These are all charged images from an archive I started of photographs that people didn't want to live with anymore but that they hadn't yet burned. They're all kind of trauma-related; I don't ask for the story," Lazarus said. "It's almost like taking a Kodak archive, turning it inside out and running it through a dark filter. It's also a beautiful thing. All the images have a second life and show us how we live with photography."

Warm Potato and Fontina Salad
For this luxurious first-course salad, imported Fontina cheese is tossed in the skillet with sautéed potatoes and served over watercress.
Slideshow: More Terrific Salads
- Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 whole black peppercorns
- 2 whole allspice berries
- 2 juniper berries
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 whole clove
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 ounces imported Fontina cheese, sliced
- 2 bunches watercress, tough stems discarded
How to make this recipe
In a small skillet, bring the vinegar, peppercorns, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaf and clove to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the shallot and let cool. Strain the vinegar; reserve the shallot and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the vinegar. In a small bowl, whisk the reserved vinegar with the mustard and 3 tablespoons of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Steam the potatoes over boiling water until still slightly firm, about 10 minutes. Let cool; cut each one into 6 wedges.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the potatoes and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Top the potatoes with the Fontina and let melt. Add 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to the skillet and swirl to coat.
In a large bowl, toss the reserved shallot slices with the watercress and the remaining vinaigrette. Transfer the salad to a platter, top with the potatoes and cheese and serve at once.

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Coleridge: Early Visions, 1772-1804
by Richard Holmes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The cover of Coleridge: Early Visions by Richard Holmes is promising – Winner of the 1989 Whitbread prize and a hypnotic portrait of Coleridge that captures the archetypal romantic poet – large grey eyes, sensual thick lips and long dark hair. Holmes begins with an allusion to Coleridge's preface of 'Kubla Khan': 'Anyone who presumes to write about Coleridge runs the grave risk of sounding like the person on business from Porlock, a prosaic interrupter of marvels'. He outlines how critics have tended to concentrate on his faults – 'his opium addiction, his plagiarisms, his fecklessness in marriage, his political apostasy, his sexual fantasies or his radiation of mystic humbug' – and wants to empathetically portray 'his fascination as a man and a writer', 'his physical presence' and 'to make his voice sound'.
The book covers the first thirty-one years of Coleridge's life (1772-1804), when he wrote his most memorable poetry. There is a further volume entitled Coleridge: Darker Reflections covering the second half of his life and Holmes draws on material from his Biographia Literaria written in 1814-15 and the writings of his circle of friends and acquaintances such as Hazlitt, Lamb, Southey, Dorothy and William Wordsworth. Holmes follows a traditional sequence – what Holroyd terms 'the prison of chronology' – through Coleridge's childhood, schooling at Christ's Hospital and Cambridge University, his time as a radical Pantisocrat and journalist, marriage to Sara Fricker, collaboration with Wordsworth, travel and study in Germany, relationship with Sara Hutchinson and ends with his departure for Malta.
Holmes brings to light a number of recurring themes that give coherence to Coleridge's life story. He was a character of complexity and contradiction – a precocious child prodigy, a voracious reader and articulate conversationalist but insecure, plagued by self-doubt and anxiety. His chaotic approach to life follows patterns of exuberant, impetuous behaviour then remorseful, self-deprecating apologies until the next enthusiasm. Holmes likens him to a comet leaving a trail of unfinished projects among the brilliance with 'dreamlike ascents, and whirling descents into the abyss'. He conveys his movement and energy, relating anecdotes recorded by the Wordsworths of Coleridge walking forty miles, leaping over a gate and bounding down through a field of corn to meet them.
Coleridge's letters and notebooks show his self-mocking humour – Holmes quotes from a note sent with the manuscript of 'The Nightingale' to Wordsworth, (a ditty that perhaps parallels Coleridge's career):
In stale blank verse a subject stale
I send per post my Nightingale
And like an honest bard, dear Wordsworth,
You'll tell me what you think, my Bird's worth.
My own opinion's briefly this –
His bill he opens not amiss;
And when he has sung a stave or so,
His breast, & some small space below,
So throbs & swells, that you might swear
No vulgar music's working there.
So far, so good; but then, 'od rot him!
There's something falls off at his bottom…
To his wife he outlines his travel plans 'Cornwall perhaps, - Ireland perhaps – perhaps Cumberland – possibly, Naples, or Madeira, or Teneriffe. I don't see any likelihood of our going to the Moon, or to either of the Planets, or fixed Stars - & that is all I can say'. Holmes also shares this disparaging style – Coleridge's father was appointed vicar of Ottery St Mary's 'on the death of the incumbent, the Rev. Richard Holmes MA (a man who left no significant trace)'. Coleridge often used images of birds and flight in his letters and notebooks – he describes himself as a 'library-cormorant' and 'I lay too many eggs in the hot sands…with ostrich carelessness'. Holmes also uses these metaphors to describe his fluctuating schemes as a 'flock of starlings' expanding and contracting at will and his 'cuckoo-like invasion of other people's households'.
Although the biography is structured around the chronological bones, the heart of the story is the evolution of Coleridge's poetry and Holmes shows how 'the life of the writer is part of the text of his work', without diverting into critical analysis. He includes a series of stimulating footnotes that give another perspective or speculation which he likens to the marginal gloss of 'The Ancient Mariner'. Despite Coleridge's lack of maritime experience, images of solitary, perilous sea-voyages or dreams and hallucinations recur frequently in his letters and notebooks. In 1801 during an imaginative crisis he describes his 'Mind shipwrecked by storms of doubt, now mastless, rudderless, shattered – pulling in the dead swell of a dark and windless Sea'. The origin of the much debated 'Kubla Khan' and its fascinating preface is the central chapter. Although it wasn't published until 1816, Holmes suggests it was 'one of his wonderful enchantments, known by heart, and chanted in private company', and shows how the geographical imagery of the poem lies in the topography of the Quantock Hills of Somerset – a hidden stream, and a thick wooded chasm that runs down to the sea. He alludes to this imagery in describing Coleridge as 'a huge river; while Wordsworth was a mighty rock'.
Hazlitt described 'Kubla Khan' as 'not a poem, but a musical composition', and Holroyd says letters and notebooks are 'faint score sheets scripted by the dead from which the biographer tries to conjure sounds, rekindle life'. Holmes allows Coleridge's voice to soar and sing from the pages – 'brilliant, animated, endlessly provoking'. His enthusiasm for his subject is neither adulation nor denigration but an understanding of his life that gives meaning and sense to his writing. Holmes immerses himself in following 'his journey through the world' to the extent of climbing on to the roof at Greta Hall, Keswick as Coleridge had done. Kipling described biography as 'a higher form of cannibalism' but Holmes sensitively balances the private and public persona and does not fabricate possible hidden aspects of character. He gives the impression of a posthumous dialogue with his subject, 'a handshake across time', that has not 'added a new terror to death' but rather lets him live again.
I have never before read a biogrpahy of Coleridge, so I thought I should. But since I have no interest in Coleridge as philosopher, I do not intend to read volume 2 which covers his life from 1804 to his death on 25 Jul 1834. In fact, much of this book did not engage my interest. I suppose my main interest in Coleridge is that he wrote Kubla Khan, which I have memorized, and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which is full of great lines including:
"Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread."

The book examines his neuralgia, which turned him into an opium addict, and the influence this had on his writing. It follows his career in the civil service, his failed marriages and a trip to Germany where he came under the influence of German idealism, becoming its principal conduit in England.… (more)

+1 more vote for LaRue. They return to zero. Some others probably also do. Many do not.
Another LaRue guy here. I shot a 10 shot string from my AR at 50 yards,removing the sight and re-mounting it between each shot, about 3/4 inch ctc, which is right about what I can do leaving the sight alone.

For an AR or anything with a rail, Larue without a doubt.
For bolt guns, I've had really good luck with Warne and Leopold. I've also got two Steyrs with their QD system and it works very very well.

Here's some pics of my Larue. Get the Po'Boy special, the mount alone is worth the price! The optic is a low power european military surplus (came off RPG's or whatever). For your $200, you get the mount, optic, and the traditional LaRue ballcap, 'Dillo bottle opener, and 'Dillo Dust for grilling!

Dear Parents,
We want to welcome you to an exciting 3rd grade year! We are looking forward to teaching your children. In order for your children to be successful this year with the new Common Core State Standards, it is important for them to do the following things:
They need to practice their reading and math skills by completing their homework each day. Since each skill is often built on the next, students will fall behind if their homework is not completed each day.
Mastering the multiplication and division facts are critical to the children's achievement in math. Students who do not know their facts are at a disadvantage when taking the classroom, district, and Smarter Balanced (SBAC) test. Please make sure your children are practicing their math facts daily. Our school is participating in the IXL math program in order to support our goal towards math proficiency. We expect your children to practice the skills and standards in the program each day for 15 minutes. Students can also log in to their McGraw Hill ConnectEd Math account and practice Fact Dash as well. They can log on to ixl.com by using the same user name and password as the Accelerated Reading Program.
Third grade uses the Accelerated Reading (AR) Comprehension Program every day. We are really proud of our AR program and our students' progress towards achieving greater fluency and comprehension as they move through the book levels. Part of the program includes setting trimester goals which students are expected to achieve. In order to do this, they should be reading at home and at school to increase their reading skills one or more grade level by the end of the year. To assist students in studying for their English Language Arts (ELA) tests each week, they can practice the weekly skills by logging onto http://connected.mcgraw-hill.com and clicking on the Games icon using their special password provided by their teacher.
Good behavior is essential to student learning and achievement. Students are expected to follow classroom and school rules. One of the most important skills children need to develop is being able to listen to directions and instructions for longer periods of time. You can increase their attention span by reading to them, asking them questions, and having them repeat directions given.
On the first day of school, we would appreciate it if students bring in the donated school supplies found in the registration packet from their teacher.
Thank you for your support and cooperation in making this year a successful one.
The Third Grade Teachers

Competent, conservative and colorless, but could break through if others falter.
So this is what it looks like: Dylan was limp and unconscious, and his lips were colorless.
It doesn't matter if you're from the left or right, a crooning populist or a colorless technocrat.
I also knew that story was timeless and colorless, which is something a lot of people need to understand about life.
Brown sees no need for any of this: His characters are flat and colorless.
A flush rose in Sara's face: no one would have called her colorless now.
Rose ran to her, and coming behind her saw in the glass that her lips were colorless.
She was as ignored by the crowd around her as the colorless shadow at her side.
As she reached it she held her breath and her teeth dug into her colorless lips.
He was such a colorless nonentity that he simply seemed to fade into the background of the walls once he had made his entrance.

We are Survivors Speak OUT (SSO): a national network of torture survivors who have fled persecution and sought protection in the UK. We are all former clients of Freedom from Torture.
By drawing on our lived experience of torture and seeking protection through asylum, we hope to influence decision-makers and raise public awareness of the challenges facing survivors trying to rebuild their lives in the UK.
What are our aims?
In speaking out, we aim to:
- Promote survivors' active engagement in the issues directly affecting them;
- Campaign against the use of torture and its impact;
- Establish the right to rehabilitation for survivors of torture worldwide;
- Raise awareness of the issues facing survivors of torture in the UK;
- Be the voice of survivors who have been silenced by fear or trauma.
What makes Survivors Speak OUT unique?
Our survivor-led structure and approach is unique. We are not just case studies or 'testimonies' whose voices are appropriated by others in the fight against torture; we are experts seeking our own opportunities to engage and influence others.
The natural authority and breadth of first-hand experience we bring to debates around torture makes our survivor activism a powerful mechanism for change.

Around October, I start mixing my recipe for the holidays.
I begin with Christmas music, and if I don't have a good portion of Bing Crosby, mixed with Rosemary Clooney and dashes of Frank Sinatra, Burl Ives and Johnny Mathis, I become Grinch-afied. A smidge of the Davis sisters, Skeeter and Betty Jack, singing "Christmas Boogie," is just icing on the cake. Most of these artists were popular in the 40's, before I was born, but I listened to Skeeter, as a love-sick teen in my West Virginia home, in the 60's.
It's nearly impossible not to notice the large red brick structure that is being built on the front of Crittenden Baptist Church on U.S. 25.
The new building, which measures 105 feet by 114 feet, will be used as a multi-purpose area.
"We want this to be for whatever the community needs for it to be," said Minister Bill Page. "Whether it be for tutoring or community meeting space."
Crittenden Baptist's congregation, according to Page, had been exploring and praying about an addition for nearly 10 years.

Well, it's been 6 months since I had the Thermage treatment on my face and neck. This is when the doctor said I would see an improvement in my wrinkles.
Save your money. I don't even see the slightest improvement. I am a 56 year old woman. It was the most painful thing I think I've ever been through...the equivalent of someone holding a burning cigarette to your face and neck... The doctor did 3 passes all over my neck and face... Horrible pain!
Definitely not worth the money!!!

Just not worth the headache to me. Phone calls to cops, waiting for them to get there so you can hand them your permit, then go somewhere else and repeat. What a nightmare.
Gun folks are into guns. Non gun folks are not. But they can be swayed against them by Hollywood, the good ole liberal media, the inestimable political regime driving this sinking ship, and non-cops openly carrying guns. You all know what I am talking about. People scare easily, especially in the wake of a mass murder in Nowhere, USA. Kind of like where I live. It has now been proven to the masses that it is open season, and there are no taboos on what atrocities can be committed. Maybe the guy carrying a gun here at Subway wants a sandwich before he starts mowing us down. Maybe he is an off duty cop. Or maybe he is one of those "gun guy NRA types", and that makes me very nervous. You don't know how a given individual will react when he or she sees your Glock.
Make no mistake, like most others I have no problem at all with open carry. But it's not worth it to me, certainly not in the current witch hunt the antis are staging. This is not cowardice, nor do I feel I have an obligation to the gun community to tell the world I carry a gun, but I won't hurt anybody because I am a good guy. Most around here will choose to err on the side of what they think is caution, which means the cops are called. A sorry thing.
If you want to do it, live it up. I'd back you up. If you live in a place where it is legal and the locals don't mind, then have at it and be grateful you can.
Legally, so can I. Publicly, I won't deal with it.

A traditional fixed-head, three piece razor, the Merkur 20C Classic Double-Edge Safety Razor with Extra-Long Matte Black Handle has an elegant diagonally ridged handle, easy to grip and hold securely while shaving. The gleaming chrome base and head handsomely contrast with the black handle making this a highly attractive razor to add to your collection. While shaving the weight of the head helps move the blade across the face, but the straight comb ensures the bite is not too aggressive. Purchase one our blade sampler packs when you select this razor to see what type of blade works best for your style of shaving.
