Go get drunk then fire rounds into crowds of people
Vermont does not issue Permit/Licenses to Carry a Concealed firearm. Vermont allows anyone
who can legally own a firearm to carry it concealed without a permit of any kind.
There is no question alcohol impairs reaction time and judgement. You may say it takes 6 beers in 30 minutes or whatever before you feel that, but it isn't an on off thing. Every beer, whether you believe you feel it or not, impairs somewhat. MAYBE not enough to stop you from driving (thus all the blood alcohol limits in law)...I won't chase that red herring. But consider this, do you a) want to have the responsibility to carry or use a deadly weapon if you are not at your best and b) even if you just had one beer and the shtf and you shoot someone their attorney, even if it was a BG is going to rake you over the coals as a gun toting drunk who can't stop from having a beer and shooting people.
Forget what the CA law says, look at it from a personal responsibility and legal risk issue. Even if you are legal in CA, even if you believe a couple doesn't impact you, remember standards for civil judgments are likely a lot lower than criminal.
The AG says "Open Carry is Legal." That's problematic given transportation requirements. WI Supreme Court ruling says 'gun in passenger compartment, unloaded and cased (i.e. not visible because it's in the case) is possession of a concealed weapon.' And if it's not unloaded and cased you're in violation as well, because it can't be transported in a vehicle unless it's unloaded and cased.
The only way it's legal to transport is not in the passenger compartment. So it's the trunk, or the truck bed, or the roof of the minivan.
So "Open Carry is Legal" is half-true.

Old people are impaired and have slower reflexes than MANY people with a 6 pack in them.
The state considers a 90 year old man with 2 hearing aids ,moderate alzheimers and barely able to crawl into his car a safe driver of a 4000 lb vehicle going down the street.
How do I know?...my neighbor just got his permit renewed and I was shocked!
If you use the theory of having to be you're VERY best ALL of the time while carrying..you won't be carrying 75% of the time and woman with PMS and all should not be carrying MOST of the time.
My question is why would you wqant to impair your ability to respond to an attack in public?
It's the last day of the year so I'm going to say what I really think.
California sucks. OK, got that off my chest.
Now for the important stuff. What a wonderful nation this would be if there were a federal law that required every person age 21 and over, both male and female who were not a convicted felon to have on their person at all times a loaded handgun with a minimum capacity of six rounds. Wonder what the crime rate would drop to.
My utopia would have no rules regarding the consumption of alcohol while armed. In it's infinite wisdom my make believe government would deem that to be a personal decision. There is one downside. Primers would be impossible to buy and would sell a dollar apiece.
"You have to answer for Santino, Carlo. You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people."
Hey,when im 80 years old I will still carry.
I know I will be physically impaired at that age compared to what I am now as far as motor skills,sight and hearing go..but im still going to carry!
I don't drink so can't put my two cents in..
34 hand guns and still going.....

Ok, either I poorly typed the question, or most of you poorly read the question.
Or there was not enough info in the question.
Let me try again – if I am going out to party the gun stay's home – forget that get it out of your mind.
Now lets say I am driving around all day doing my job carrying my weapon, a friend calls and say's hey if you are close come by for one. Or let's say the wife calls and say's hey we are all meeting at the bowling alley at 5pm – I say ok
Now I am 10 miles from home at the bowling alley or my friend's house. I unload my gun and put it in the truck safe and the loaded magazine in the back of the truck (with lid)
Now can I go have a few beers or when I get in the truck am I still carrying
Nahh you didn't type the question poorly, just that people around here can get preachy, and some simply just have poor reading comprehension.
The best answer I can give you, is to check with the CA Attorney Generals Office, or your local PD and see what they say is the best way to store the weapon in the case of the example(s) you gave.
Realize though, that no matter what you're told by them, a over zealous anti-2a prosecutor may/will still likely try and use the alcohol consumption against you should you run into trouble.
When Guns Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws will have guns
Just remember, When seconds count help is mere minutes away
Also remember, When you go to trial by jury you are putting yourself into the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Many don't seem to understand that the law they live under doesn't apply to you. Hence my sig line.
I don't know a thing about CA carry law, so here's a link to get you started.
· Consume any alcoholic beverage.
· Be in a place having a primary purpose of dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
The above is from the California website.
One would think that if the gun was NOT in your manual reach; concealed or not, on your person; or such, then you are not considered to be "carrying".
At least in the state of Florida, carrying is considered to be on your person (or in a purse), within you manual reach, etc ., you do not have a concealed weapon.
If its in you car trunk, unloaded and encased, its certainly not being "carried".....
Florida law even allows for being legally intoxicated and USING the gun for LAWFULL self-defense; however, but not carrying concealed
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. - Robert A. Heinlein
I think it's very commendable that you would care enough to ask your question... that's being responsible!
Personally, if I were to have even one drink I would not carry. That's just me. I agree that locked up in your trunk separated from the ammo complies with Kalifornia law and is NOT carrying.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his

Harden and Howard Selected to West All-Star Team
HOUSTON – Houston Rockets guard James Harden and center Dwight Howard were two of 14 players selected by NBA head coaches as reserves for the 2014 NBA All-Star Game, which was announced tonight by the league. This marks Harden's second consecutive All-Star selection, making his first All-Star appearance last year in Houston. This stands as the eighth time in Howard's career to be named an All-Star. Overall, Howard becomes the 16th player in team history to represent the Rockets at an All-Star Game.
The 63rd NBA All-Star Game will be exclusively televised on TNT from New Orleans Arena on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014. The All-Star Game, also broadcast live on ESPN Radio, will collectively reach fans in 215 countries and territories in more than 40 languages.
Harden (6-5, 220, Arizona State) is averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.9 boards and 1.33 steals in 40 starts for Houston this season. He stands seventh in the NBA in scoring (23.7), second in minutes played (38.6) and second in free throws made (295). He set a season best with 38 points vs. Sacramento (12/31/13) and went for 37 points vs. New York (1/3/14). He then matched his season-high 38 points vs. the L.A. Lakers (1/8/14) to become the first Rockets player to score at least 37 points in three consecutive games since Hakeem Olajuwon back in 1994-95 (three games: 42 on 12/29/94, 37 on 12/30/94 and 41 on 1/3/95). He also made NBA history vs. Memphis (12/26/13), becoming the first player ever to register 27 points on two or fewer field goals made (2-9 FG). Harden finished a career-best 22-of-25 from the stripe, tying the Rockets single-game record for free throws made set by Sleepy Floyd (22-27 FT on 2/3/91 vs. Golden State). In addition, Harden recorded 35 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocked shots vs. the L.A. Lakers (11/7/13). He is the first Rockets player to reach those totals in a game since Olajuwon in 1992-93.
Howard (6-11, 265, Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy) has averaged 18.1 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.73 blocks in 48 starts for the Rockets this season. He currently ranks fourth in the NBA in rebounding average (12.5), fifth in field goal percentage (.571, 313-548 FG) and ninth in blocks per game (1.73). Howard, who owns 15 20-point, 10-rebound games in 2013-14, has posted 31 double-doubles on the season to stand third in the league in that category. A three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Howard has helped the Rockets climb to third in the NBA in blocks per game (5.83) and fifth in field goal defense (.437). He became the first Rockets player since Ralph Sampson in 1985-86 to pull down 18 or more rebounds in three consecutive games. Howard, who is the first Rockets player to record a 20-20 game since 2009-10, has also collected four 30-point, 10-rebound performances with Houston this season. Closing in on 10,000 career rebounds (9,610), Howard has posted four 20-rebound games on the season. In addition, Howard became the first Rockets player to ever attempt at least 24 free throws in two or more games within a single season.

Easily one of the most gifted athletes in attendance at Michigan's football camp a couple of weeks ago was 2016 Fort Wayne (Ind.) four-star defensive end Auston Robertson.
Standing 6-foot-5 and up to 234-pounds, Robertson excelled in 1 on 1's as he continues to work on his technique as a pass rusher.
"I think I did good at the Michigan camp," Robertson said. "At the end of the camp I think the head coach asked me to come back for like a visit or something. But yeah, my performance there was pretty good I would say."
"I like the coaching staff there," Robertson added. "A lot of the stuff that they were teaching there I'd learned at other camps but the coaches there wanted to see more technique.
"I liked that though because they use more technique and I got to learn more."
Recently picking up an offer from Notre Dame, Robertson said the Wolverines haven't specifically mentioned a scholarship just yet but that that could change in the near future.
"I didn't really talk to them about that but they just said we have to get you up there again sometime," Robertson said. "And I'm planning on going back there sometime next week. It's going to be a week day."
Robertson adding, "I'm hoping to get an offer from there (Michigan)."
Should Michigan extend an offer on his visit to Ann Arbor, that would vault the Wolverines up into a race at the top with a long time rival.
"From the offers that I have now they would be in the top two," Robertson said. "With them and Notre Dame."
Also planning to make the trip to Michigan is good friend and 2016 Fort Wayne (Ind.) Bishop Luers four-star wide out Austin Mack who actually picked up an offer from the Wolverines following a strong camp performance.
"We're really close," he said. "We train together and do a lot of stuff together."
Could the duo be looking to head off to college together two years from now?
"It's more of like, we have plans to go to the same college but if a college doesn't fit me we're looking for a college that fits both of us so if the college doesn't fit me or it fits him he'd obviously go there and I won't," he said. "Hopefully we'll find the college that fits both of us."

Living With Ed on HGTV
Living with Ed premieres on HGTV.
|Well, I must admit it – I never expected to be tuning in to HGTV, much less to watch a reality tv show starring Ed Begley Jr. But I did and I must say it was more enjoyable than expected.
As you may or may not know, Ed's claim to fame was as Victor Ehrlich in the old hit tv show St.Elsewhere, of which I was a big fan.
Since then Ed has made a lot of appearances on other shows most notably Arrested Development and Six Feet Under. He has also appeared in a few high profile movies including Best In Show.
Current day, Ed Begley Jr. has become known for his quirky adoption and promotion of green type living practices, with his home as a role model with solar powered everything.
First off I must say that Ed and his wife Rachelle Carson live in Studio City, California and that just a few years ago I too lived in "the Valley" in neighboring Sherman Oaks. I had seen Ed and his family in the hood on more than a few occasions. In fact I saw him at Fashion Square Mall a few times in the food court. So when I saw there was a reality tv show with Ed I took up an interest and decided to watch.
Tivo snagged the first episode of Living With Ed for me and I must admit I have since added a season pass for it. It's pretty good, although not as exciting as Survivor, but hey, it's a quick fun show to watch. So far at least. (more…)

There's no ligament or bone damage associated with the ankle injury that Detroit Lions running back Kevin Smith suffered Saturday. He has assured everyone that it's not a high ankle sprain. However, Smith was held out of practice Monday to rest the ankle. He told Tim Twentymen of the Lions' official web site that it's "just a tweak and nothing serious." Head coach Jim Schwartz said it's likely that Smith and other injured players won't play in Thursday's preseason finale.
Fantasy Analysis:
I blame myself. One day after I post a note about how Smith said he feels "excellent," he goes out and gets hurt. I should have known better; I should have known how brittle Smith is. I thought he would at least go longer than a day without sustaining an injury, but that's Kevin Smith these days. I suspect the ankle won't be much of a problem or no problem at all when the Lions open their regular season in 13 days versus the St. Louis Rams. I'll say again that he should be a very fine flex option early in the season, but understand that he will probably miss a chunk a time at some point.

The announcement was welcomed by energy minister Brian Wilson, who said: 'This is a prime example of why we are working so hard with industry to get offshore blocks in the hands of the right operators. This is the biggest North Sea discovery since the Nelson Field in 1988 and confirms that there are still huge prizes to be won.'
PanCanadian said it was continuing its appraisal of the Buzzard Field and estimates of how much could be recovered might rise further. The appraisal should be completed by the summer, when the company will begin deciding how to exploit the oil.
Alan Booth, managing director of the firm's London-based arm, PanCanadian Energy (UK) Ltd, said: 'These results confirm our long-held belief that the United Kingdom Central North Sea still holds significant rewards for companies committed to exploring in this prolific basin.'
PanCanadian Energy owns 40% of the field, in partnership with Intrepid Energy North Sea, which owns 30%, British Gas (20%) and Edinburgh Oil & Gas (5%).

Tony Abbott might be trying to downplay a bombshell ''discussion paper'' aimed at creating a tax utopia at the top end of Australia but mining magnate Gina Rinehart won't be.
The proposals detailed in the 30-page document sing from the same song sheet that Rinehart and her father Lang Hancock have been playing for decades.
The fact that the Coalition has gone to such lengths to create a discussion paper speaks volumes about the growing political influence of Rinehart and her lobby group Australians for Northern Development and Economic Vision (ANDEV), which she formed in 2010, around the time the mining tax was about to be hijacked.
The notion of a special economic zone with special tax and regulatory concessions dates back to the 1950s when Hancock was trying to overturn legislation that banned exports on iron ore. It took him almost a decade to get the ban lifted and pegging rights granted.
In a recent article published in online mining magazine Australian Resources and Investment, Rinehart recalled her father's 10-year battle: ''So, with this government combination of Perth and Canberra 'looking after us', the opening of the major Pilbara iron ore industry was delayed for around 10 years.''
Hancock discovered one of the world's biggest deposits of iron ore and spent his life trying to turn it into an operating mine. To this end he - and Rinehart at his side - became strong advocates for reduced regulation, tax concessions and subsidies.
Hancock took the trouble of publishing a manifesto, Wake Up Australia, in 1979, which outlined how it could be done. Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen was a big fan of the idea but most other political leaders and businesses avoided it like the plague.
But that was before Rinehart became the richest person in Australia and bought into the media, both of which gave her views more and more airplay.
Rinehart set up ANDEV in 2010 with her friend Perth businessman Ron Manners.
The aim of ANDEV is to convince Australia that it is a fallacy that most of the top end of Australia is uninhabitable. ''With the right policies, there is the potential for huge population growth and the expansion of towns and cities. Some of the most productive agricultural and resource rich soil exists in this region and yet it is largely under-developed,'' the ANDEV website says.
''It is our duty to leave to future generations of Australians a robust and growing economy, something all the more achievable if we unleash the potential of Northern Australia... These opportunities don't just exist in the mining and resources sector, but in agriculture, medicine, education, tourism, communications and across the full spectrum of human activity,'' according to Rinehart and ANDEV.
As I outline in my unauthorised biography Gina Rinehart: The Untold Story of the Richest Woman in the World, ANDEV proposes that the top half of Australia – the Northern Territory, Queensland and the north-west of Western Australia (in other words, nearly one third of Australia) – should be treated as a special economic zone, where businesses invest in new mining regions, building towns and cities, and in return receive big tax breaks and less regulation.
ANDEV says workers should be offered incentives, such as low personal tax rates. In this low-tax utopia, the sparsely populated region of the country would thrive because of the influx of workers - including cheap guest workers = and investment. It also calls for less red and green tape to speed up environmental approvals. Rinehart is a climate sceptic and like her father believes environmentalists get in the way of growth.
All of this requires infrastructure and Rinehart and ANDEV believe that can be achieved through PPPs.
This is all very much what the Coalition's discussion paper raises. It also goes a step further and suggests the redirection of $800 million of foreign aid to this region and relocation of defence facilities.
It is all big picture stuff that would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to implement and even more to build. To some it is visionary, to others it would represent a further divide between the rich and poor.
Abbott is careful to say it is only a discussion paper and the next step is an options paper and then policy. He forgot to mention all the internal polling that will be done to see whether or not it flies. It certainly will fly with Rinehart and her coterie of friends who will be more than happy to provide them with the blueprint.

I remember as a kid having a pick-up game of basketball interrupted.
Nothing was more annoying at the time.
Eight or 10 of us would be having a perfectly good round of hoops going and the bullies would infiltrate the court – whether it was the skateboard crowd, the non-athletes that didn't like the (perceived) athletes or just the straight out bad guys, the ones that would pick up the basketball and boot it as far away as possible – sometimes we were forced to change the location of our game.
And we didn't mind. When that location was overrun by unreasonable people, we would simply find another basketball court and pick up where we left off.
That may be where we are at as a city with our land deal for a new outdoor performance space that was overwhelmingly approved by voters this past April.
The city and land owner Dusty Dahmer – a former city council candidate himself – are locked in some odd game of chess where the rooks and knights and whatever just keep moving in circles. There appears to be no end to this chess game. And what should have been a checkmate to lock up a land deal is now just a stalemate.
So, it's time to move the game.
While Dahmer's land near SW Market and SW Main street on the west side of the railroad tracks seems an ideal place to build this project, negotiations have been going downhill for quite some time.
And, in the end, legal issues, land disputes and the ever-lovin' dollar make this whole scenario less than ideal.
So, it's time to move the game.
There are discussions underway right now with folks at City Hall and members of our City Council about where else we might build this outdoor performance space, what that land may cost us and what that affords us to build.
Those talks run parallel with maintaining the integrity of the election where almost 80 percent of voters said "yes" to a specific project in a specific area. Of course, those voters could never have envisioned that the land deal wasn't already a done deal.
So, it's time to move the game.
Our vision for downtown Lee's Summit, the historical museum, open art space, music and all that would come with a performance area are bigger revelations than any financial battle between the city and a local businessman.
We can wag our finger at both parties for not sealing this deal, at certain members of our council for not having this in place before the vote and even for our city leadership for not shoring this up before it went public.
And then, we need to move past that. And move the game somewhere else.

Empathic-like responding by domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) to distress in humans: an exploratory study

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-012-0510-1

Empathy covers a range of phenomena from cognitive empathy involving metarepresentation to emotional contagion stemming from automatically triggered reflexes. An experimental protocol first used with human infants was adapted to investigate empathy in domestic dogs. Dogs oriented toward their owner or a stranger more often when the person was pretending to cry than when they were talking or humming. Observers, unaware of experimental hypotheses and the condition under which dogs were responding, more often categorized dogs' approaches as submissive as opposed to alert, playful or calm during the crying condition. When the stranger pretended to cry, rather than approaching their usual source of comfort, their owner, dogs sniffed, nuzzled and licked the stranger instead. The dogs' pattern of response was behaviorally consistent with an expression of empathic concern, but is most parsimoniously interpreted as emotional contagion coupled with a previous learning history in which they have been rewarded for approaching distressed human companions.

Any thoughts on Russell as an NFL prospect? It's a pretty limited sample combining last year and the two games so far, but curious if he is worthy of being on the radar as an NFL prospect at this point in time. Does he have a decent amount of upside?

09/10/12 - WEEK 2 SEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tyler Russell, Quarterback, Mississippi State...Russell led Mississippi State to a 28-10 victory over Auburn in the SEC opener for both teams, State's first win in an SEC opener since 1999. He completed 20-of-29 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. Russell led the Bulldogs on three touchdown drives in its first four second half possessions as State scored 21 unanswered points to seal the game. He completed passes to nine different receivers. - SEC football
09/08/12 - Tyler Russell threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns, Marcus Green caught two touchdown passes and Mississippi State easily beat Auburn 28-10 on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium. Auburn briefly took a 10-7 lead when Onterio McCalebb returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to open the second half, but Mississippi State (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) responded with 21 unanswered points. Auburn (0-2, 0-1) struggled through an awful offensive performance. Kiehl Frazier completed 13 of 22 passes for 125 yards, three interceptions and two lost fumbles. The victory broke a string of unsavory trends for the Bulldogs. They had lost 10 out of the last 11 against Auburn - including four straight - and hadn't won an SEC opener since 1999. It was also coach Dan Mullen's first victory against the SEC Western Division's best four teams. He was 0-12 combined against Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and Auburn until Saturday's breakthrough. The big reason for the victory was Russell, who was deadly accurate when given time in the pocket. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound junior completed 20 of 29 passes and didn't throw an interception. LaDarius Perkins added 83 yards rushing and a touchdown. Auburn's offense wasn't very good in a season-opening 26-19 loss to Clemson last weekend, and it took another step backward against the Bulldogs. - AP Sports
09/05/12 - SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: MSU did not open up the playbook against Jackson State, and it didn't have to. Quarterback Tyler Russell completed 15 of 23 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns, and some of his misfires were on forced throws. The good news for the Bulldogs, offensive coordinator Les Koenning said, is that Wilson took a cue from each mistake. One such mistake, when he forced a throw on a post pattern, later resulted in a touchdown when he made the right read on the same play. "He read the coverage, changed, different things happened and he read it," Koenning said. "That's a sign of maturity." State will continue with its by-committee approach as well after playing four tailbacks against JSU. LaDarius Perkins (eight carries, 50 yards, two touchdowns) will get the bulk of the carries. - The Sports Xchange
09/01/12 - Tyler Russell completed 15 of 23 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns to lead Mississippi State to a season-opening 56-9 win over Jackson State on Saturday night. Mississippi State (1-0) opened the game with a 35-point first half, their largest since the 2010 season. The Bulldogs finished the game with 377 yards total offense and did not punt the football until the final minute of the third quarter. Dan Mullen's offense was at its balanced best, with 183 yards passing and 194 yards rushing. LaDarius Perkins rushed for 50 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jackson State (0-1) managed 265 yards of offense and 16 first downs, but turned the ball over three times and struggled to sustain drives against a deeper Bulldog defense. Mississippi State returned two Dedric McDonald interceptions for touchdowns. E.J. Drewery caught a 9-yard pass in the second quarter for the Tigers' lone touchdown of the game. - AP Sports
08/23/12 - For two years, Tyler Russell was the guy pushing Chris Relf to do more and be better. Relf is gone now, though, and Russell is clearly the guy. He started four games last season for Mississippi State and threw for eight touchdowns against four interceptions (while completing 53.4 percent of his passes). At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Russell is more of a passer than Relf ever was, and the offense has adjusted accordingly. There's even been talk of Russell breaking all of MSU's passing records as soon as this season. - The Sports Xchange

He looked ok when I watched him, but nothing really wowed me when I was watching him throw. While I was watching, I didn't get to see him throw any long balls, so I just saw him throwing some short routes.

He does not have the skillset of an NFL passer, at least from what I saw against Auburn. Good size, completed some short passes, just not an NFL prospect to me.

Been watching MS State for awhile now. Their defense has been solid if not great the last couple of years. Vick Ballard was their main offense because their QBs sucked badly. I haven't watched them this season but will this weekend.

NY State Homeland Security Chief Supposedly Used Gun As Laser Pointer
(Jen Chung) Sometimes, when you don't have a laser pointer handy, you use the next best thing: A gun. The Times Union reportsthat NY State Homeland Security and Emergency Services Commissioner Jerome Hauer "took out his handgun and used the laser sighting device attached to the barrel as a pointer in a presentation to a foreign delegation." Naturally, that upset the foreign delegation, too!
The alleged incident occurred at the state capitol building in Albany, on October 24. From the Times-Union:
[Public] officials, one of whom claimed to be an eyewitness, said that three Swedish emergency managers in the delegation were rattled when the gun's laser tracked across one of their heads before Hauer found the map of New York, at which he wanted to point.
Hauer, commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, was disabled by a stroke a few years ago and can be unsteady. He isn't a law enforcement official. He carries the loaded 9-millimeter Glock in a holster into state buildings, an apparent violation of state law barring state employees from bringing weapons to the workplace, several witnesses say…
According to one person who witnessed the scene in the conference room, which has mid-wall-to-ceiling windows so that people can see into the meeting space, two people opposite Hauer at the table moved quickly out of the line of the laser when he brought out the gun.
Also: "No one, including Hauer, has denied the episode happened. Approached by the Times Union at the Capitol after a meeting with Cuomo, Hauer was asked if he had used his gun as a pointer in a presentation. 'You have bad sources,' he said, but would not take follow-up questions."

If there's one organization I dislike more that the Westboro Baptist Church, it's the people who run OneMillionMoms.com.
First off, I doubt that their organization actually includes a million moms. Your name is false advertising! Second, it seems that they hate everything, and try to pawn their opinions off as popular opinion.
Their latest target, J C Penney. Why J C Penney? Because they have decided to have Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson for their store.

Blue Collar Blog | Notes Packet
Friday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Marquette (U-M Soccer Stadium), 7 p.m.
BUY TICKETS | Live Stats | Promotions: Maize Out, Pom-pon Giveaway
The University of Michigan men's soccer team (1-0-2) wraps its homestand on Friday night (Sept. 13) at 7 p.m., hosting the Marquette Golden Eagles (2-1-1) at U-M Soccer Stadium. The Wolverines received 10 votes in this week's NSCAA national poll, while Marquette got 19.
Single-game and season tickets are available for purchase through the Michigan Athletics Ticket Office. To purchase, please call (866) 296-MTIX or visit www.MGoBlue.com/tickets.
The Wolverines enter Friday's match against Marquette with a three-match unbeaten streak to begin the season after battling to a 1-1 draw against USF on Friday night. Last season at Marquette, U-M fell to the then-No. 17 Golden Eagles by a 2-1 count.
TJ VanSlooten and James Murphy have led the Wolverine offense thus far, as VanSlooten leads the Big Ten in goals with three (six points), and Murphy is No. 2 in points with five (two goals, one assist). Tyler Arnone and Ezekiel Harris are tied for the team, as well as conference lead, in assists with two. As a team, the Wolverines are No. 1 in the conference in points (23), goals (7) and assists (9). Last year, it took four matches for the Wolverines to score seven goals.
In the first two home matches this season, U-M has seen a total of 3,186 fans in attendance, the most in a two-match span since 2011, when there were 4,434 fans total in matches against Butler (Sept. 2) and Northern Illinois (Sept. 4).
Fabio Pereira is creeping up the Michigan career record books in assists, shots attempted and games played. Most notably is the program assist record, as he holds 18, which are 10 behind program leader Adam Bruh (2002-05), who paces the program records with 28. Pereira had five shots in his season debut, and he is now No. 7 in career shots attempted with 151, 37 shots behind program leader Mauro Fuzetti (2006-09), who leads the records with 186. Additionally, the Wolverine senior has played in 64 matches, 21 behind former teammate Latif Alashe (2009-12), who played in 85 matches in his Maize and Blue career.
The last time U-M had at least two ties in the month of September was during the 2010 College Cup season, as the Wolverines played five overtime matches that resulted in three draws. Coincidentally, two of the draws came against Notre Dame and Marquette, each of which are the 2013 Wolverine slate.
Sophomore forward James Murphy had a big opening weekend with a pair of goals against Loyola-Chicago and an assist against Bowling Green. For his efforts, Murphy garnered Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career. The last U-M player to win B1G Offensive Player of the Week honors was Soony Saad in 2010.
In the opening weekend of action, three newcomers -- freshman Rylee Woods, freshman Andre Morris and junior transfer Marcos Ugarte -- found themselves in the starting XI. Additionally, freshmen Brett Nason, Lars Eckenrode, and Ali Jawad all made their initial appearances. Against Loyola-Chicago, senior Tyler Leppek earned the first starting nod of his career after coming off the bench in all 12 previous appearances. He logged 63 minutes of action at left back.
Several Wolverines spent the summer months training with multiple Major League Soccer clubs. Arnone (Philadelphia Union, Sporting KC), Pereira (Sporting KC), Ugarte (Houston Dynamo), Grinwis (Columbus Crew) and freshman Rylee Woods (Columbus Crew) had training stints. Additionally, Lars Eckenrode appeared in several reserve league matches for D.C. United.
U-M welcomes the No. 8 recruiting class in the country according to College Soccer News, as well as the No. 10 recruiting class according to TopDrawerSoccer.com. The class is comprised of nine freshmen and Ugarte and is led by left back Woods (No. 26 player in 2013 class by College Soccer News), Brett Nason (No. 47) and Eckenrode (No. 64).
Tyler Arnone and Adam Grinwis, a pair of redshirt juniors, were named team captains prior to the 2013 season by their teammates. The captaincy is the first of their careers for each player.
Michigan has racked up several preseason accolades, highlighted Pereira making the TopDrawerSoccer.com Best XI and being named the No. 10 player in the nation by the website. College Sports Madness named T.J. Roehn and Pereira to the 2013 Big Ten Preseason All-Conference Team, while Arnone and Grinwis found their names on the second team. Pereira also found himself on the College Sports Madness Preseason All-American third team.
In the annual Big Ten Preseason list, Pereira, Grinwis and Arnone were also named to the Big Ten Players to Watch List.
As a team, U-M was named the No. 15 squad in preseason polls by both College Sports Madness and TopDrawerSoccer.com. College Soccer News has U-M listed as the No. 28 squad in its preseason poll.
U-M returns a little more than 75 percent of its scoring output from a year ago, including its top four goal scorers, and currently holds a four-match home winning streak after going a combined 8-3-1 in 2013 home matches. The four-match streak includes a 3-1 win over Niagara on Nov. 15 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Last fall, Chaka Daley led the Wolverines to a six-win turnaround and 11-10-1 overall record, a berth in the Big Ten championship game and an NCAA Tournament victory. The squad returns 2012 All-Big Ten first team midfielder Tyler Arnone, All-Big Ten second team goalkeeper Adam Grinwis, All-Big Ten Freshman honoree James Murphy and 2011-12 leading goal scorer Fabio Villas Boas Pereira.
U-M will appear live twice on the Big Ten Network this season, beginning with a non-conference matchup versus the Creighton Blue Jays on Tuesday (Oct. 15) at 7:30 p.m. at U-M Soccer Stadium. Less than two weeks later, the Wolverines will once again appear on the network, hosting the defending NCAA national champion Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday (Oct. 26) at 7 p.m. Additionally, U-M will appear on the Big Ten Student U Network for matches against Northwestern (Sept. 28), Western Michigan (Oct. 2), Wisconsin (Oct. 20), and Akron (Oct. 30).
Michigan now has three active Major League Soccer players in Justin Meram (2009-10), Soony Saad (2010) and Kofi Opare (2009-12). Meram in his third season with the Columbus Crew and has played in 15 matches with nine starting nods this season, scoring one goal and dishing out one assist. He has started the last two matches for Columbus. Saad, of Sporting KC, has been a regular in the starting XI this season, starting 11 of 18 matches this season and 10 of the last 12 and has four goals as well as four assists on 51 shots.
The recent graduate Opare earned his first start on Sept. 9 in a 1-0 defeat against the Colorado Rapids. He went the full 90, had a shot, drew a pair of fouls and caused a foul.
|No. 17 Marquette
Milwaukee, Wis.
Wolverines Strike First, Fall at No. 17 Marquette
Tyler Arnone scored his first goal of the season just before halftime for U-M, but No. 17 Marquette rallied for two in the second half to triumph, 2-1.

MU then cruised to a 4-1 home win Sunday over Drake (Sept. 8) to claim the tournament title.

I admit I have been really late on my blog posts because of my hectic schedule. I have so many backlogs, my computer is already stored with photos for my posts. I have some products to be reviewed and to talk about. Hay! Now that it's December, it's starting to slow down. Though as I told my friends, my schedule is packed till the third week of the month. Yes, that's how busy I've been. With gigs, projects, bazaars, shoots, of course my personal appointments too.
Here's one of the things I have been meaning to talk about. It's one of the toners I tried and am still using at the moment.
Here's the story behind it. I normally use Skin Hour Firming & Clarifying Toner as my toner just because I don't like putting alcohol on my face. It stings. The only non-organic toner I use is Clean & Clear's. I am not very experimental when it comes to skin care because I have sensitive skin and I'm prone to redness and bumps.
Anyways, for my last trip to visit my husband last October (I know this is such a late late post!), I found my Skin Hour Firming & Clarifying Toner standard size to be too big for travel. I had a small limit for my baggage so I had to bring a small size toner. I went to the grocery to check on Clean & Clear, for the bottle was plastic and it was relatively smaller than my Skin Hour toner. However, they ran out of stock. I had no choice because I was already leaving that day, so I grabbed the Belo Essentials toner seeing that it cares for pores. Plus the fact that Belo is a credible brand.
The first time I used it I felt that it was too harsh for my skin. Just because I can feel my face squeak. Haha! I didn't get redness though which was a good thing. I liked that it did remove excess dirt. With this, I felt that my skin's really cleaned to perfection. I don't know about the whitening characteristic though. But I wasn't really looking forward to that anyways.
Regarding the pore refining characteristic, I don't really know if it worked or not. For when we got back to the Philippines, H and I, we went for a facial. So I am not sure if the reason why my pores are a bit tighter is because of the facial or because of this toner.
H and my toner
H bought his Flawless Toner for men as recommended by his facial therapist. I think that the Belo Essentials toner would go well with the Belo Essentials Whitening Face Wash. Maybe with that, you get better results. For now, I'm just finishing this toner but I'd probably go back to my old Skin Hour Firming & Clarifying Toner and Clean & Clear toners. How about you? Do you use toners too?

Sounds like someone has used a 1911 shock buffer on one of yours.
that's what you do when you can't get any more of the original type.
I wonder how hard it would be to copy the original?
I have a lathe and some Delrin, other plastics.
What material were they made of?
Anyone got a good original that can take pics and measure one?

Now here's a piece of news that is surely going to sweep the ground beneath your feet. Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Roshan, one of the most ideal and hottest couple in Bollywood has decided to separate.
Saddening, but it's true!
Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan Roshan, who have been married for 13 long years and had been in a relationship for over 17 years, are ending their marriage and parting ways.
After months and months of speculation about the couple being separate, the final confirmation came from Krissh himself. Hrithik issued a terse statement which read as:
Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17-year relationship. This is a very tiring time for the entire family and I request the media and the people to grant us our privacy at this time.
I do not wish this news to disempower my fans and the people about the institution of marriage in any way. I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honour it at the highest level.
I thank my fans for all the concern and prayers for my health. My treatment is going fine. I should be able to resume my life in every way very soon.
While this has come as a complete blow for his loyal fans who always vouched for their favorite star's marriage, insiders reveal that a separation was bound to happen. Hrithik and Sussanne have been missed being spotted together since long. They had not made any public appearances in the past few months and it was rumored strongly that the once-inseparable-lovers have been living separately.
Some reports also suggest that the couple had separated even before the release of 'Krrish 3' but the makers maintained it as a secret as they didn't want any negative publicity of their most ambitious project. Sussane's absence from the promotional events was understated, saying she is at her sickly father's place. But no, she wasn't at her father's place but in her own flat.
Her brief appearance at Papa Roshan's birthday had raised many eyebrows too.
Reasons ranging from numerous affairs by both husband and wife to a boredom slipping into the marriage was doing the rounds since long. While some Sussane to be a workaholic, some blame the superstar husband to be too committed to his career . "Their marriage had serious issues. It was just not working anymore," comments a close friend of the couple.
What about their kids, Hrehaan and Hridhaan?
While Papa Hrithik was spending considerable time with his kids post his brain surgery, Mumma Sussanne didn't company them. The kids were juggling between their fighting parents.
Hrithik issues a statement saying this is his tribute to love
The actor, who had been suffering bouts of headaches, recently spoke his heart. He wrote on his official Facebook page, "This is my greatest tribute to love. Sussane is, and will always be the love of my life for the rest of my life. If her smiles are brighter without me, my love for her must accomplish that. Unconditional."
What has Sussanne have to say about all this?
"We are two individuals who respect and care for each other and have made our own individual choices," assured Sussanne, the daughter of veteran actor Sanjay Khan.
"We are parents to two wonderful kids and our responsibility remains to protect and take care of them. Nothing can change that," said the lady on a positive note. Like her husband, she requested for some privacy at this hour of distress, "I would appreciate if we are given our privacy in such a time". Thank you for your warmth and concern for both of us and the family."
What was the family members have to say about it?
Sussanne's father, veteran actor Sanjay Khan, has refused to call this a 'closure'. He said, "Like any other normal couple they also have some issues. Just because Hrithik is a superstar, doesn't mean he will not have personal issues. They both are intelligent and wonderful people. It's just that they need space. Of course this is not a closure."
He added, "They respect each other. To resolve issues, may be this is what they thought was good."
Hrithik is currently undergoing treatment for his recurring headaches in LA and we really hope that he overcomes this debacle and resumes life soon.

Vet love: how the vet profession is more like Grey's Anatomy than you'd think
In vet schools across America today romance is in full bloom. And I'm not just talking about the students. My four years in vet school were very entertaining in this respect, especially with my fly-on-the-wall viewpoint as a then-married person.
Students went with students and occasionally with faculty (horrors!) or residents. Faculty and residents liaised with whomever they pleased. Straight, gay, extramarital, whatever…academia is a notorious breeding ground for all sorts of romantic relationships, couth and uncouth. Vet schools, I learned, were no exception. In fact, compared to other schools and academic programs I`ve experienced, vet school beat them all for extremes of insular interaction.
While I have no concrete stats to dazzle you with, it was clear to me then that (at least within the ivory tower) vets liked to be with vets. Many faculty members were married or otherwise engaged with other vets. We students rarely dated outside our own circle—perhaps because we had no free time outside it, but also (I believe) by choice. Somehow I managed to escape vet school with both dignity and marriage intact.
After school, I began to take note of similar hospital romances across the wide spectrum of vetdom. Vets engaged with techs, office managers, receptionists and other vets. I guess it happens in all fields but I believe there's something about the intensity, isolation and insularity of the profession that lends itself especially well to romance.
Was it just by way of convenience or was it something deeper? I wondered.
But for all that speculation I have to confess that I didn't quite understand the phenomenon. After I was divorced eight years I recall stating outright that I would never hook up with a vet. And I meant it. Why partner with someone who's likely to have all your odious personality quirks and daytime stresses? What's the point?
Here's a perfect example of why you should never say never: I now date a vet.
My boyfriend and I had our first date after I asked him out via telephone, sight unseen. Can I ask you a personal question? I ventured. Ummm…(long pause)…sure. Do you date? Ummm…(long pause)…sure. Would you have dinner with me? Ummm…(longer pause)…sure.
That was almost three years ago. He was my favorite surgeon to send my toughest cases to. Great phone voice. Great skills. And I had excellent reports on his bedside manner (don't read into that)—one referred client rolled her eyes languidly and exclaimed: You'd be stupid not to go out with him! Challenged thus, how could I refuse the suggestion?
Since reneging on my promise to keep all vets at a professional arm's length, I`ve had occasion to rekindle my guesswork on the nature of vet-to-vet romances. (And this applies to all of you vet-wannabees and animal industry people, too.)
My working theory? You have to be a tad subversive and more than a little idealistic to want to be a vet. You're not just drawn to what you love, you're willing to go to any length necessary to get it—and keep it. And you work so hard at it that it seems senseless not to ally with a like-minded personality.
The problem—in vet medicine as in love—is that idealism often fades and what was once a brilliant undertaking yields to drudgery. I see so many vets fail in both for these reasons—and when romance reflects the workplace (and especially when it takes place within its walls), failures often evolve spectacularly. (Grey's Anatomy is not just a clever TV show…it happens.)
So what is a besotted vet to do? Luckily, love gives us few choices. And it's a fun ride, if nothing else. I could say a lot more but I think I`ve already said too much in my wandering sort of a way. If I said any more, I think my S.O. would question my motives. (Really, I swear I'm not angling for jewelry this Christmas.)

On Day 3 of my SF book tour, I visited the vibrant Spencer Christian and beautiful Janelle Wang for a return appearance on their afternoon talk show The View from the Bay. Spencer already loves raw vegan foods, and this visit, we may have won Janelle over to our side with my Jap Chae Korean No-Cook Stir Fry Noodles and Berry Kream Tartlets. (The recipes follow below).
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
It's always fun to be made up by a professional make up artist. Skye said she's been working weeks without one day off. A perfect candidate for the raw vegan diet.
Abbeba kicked off this show with her dehydrated crackers and salsa. I like to remind folks raw dishes like guacamole, salsa, gazpacho, and salads are already popular, so raw foods really aren't that much of a stretch from what we're already eating.
I met this pretty teen last year on my Ani's Raw Food Desserts tour. She seems to have grown a foot or more, and has the coolest parents. Her pops brought her to the Ferry Building for my talk on Saturday, and her mom brought her to the TV station. She's thriving on raw, and is continuing to convert and inspire her friends. What an inspiration.
The 2 recipes I made on air were for my Jap Chae, page 224, and Custard Tartletts, page 267. Jap chae is one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes, and it's traditionally made with rice noodles. This recipe was inspired by my mother, who pointed out how similar kelp noodles are to rice noodles. Mom helped me figure out how to season my noodles with pretty much the same ingredients as the cooked version.
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
JAP CHAE – Korean No-Cook Kelp Noodles with Vegetables
(page 224, Ani's Raw Food Essentials)
Place the onion and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and toss with salt or soy sauce until mixed well. Nama Shoyu is a raw unpasturized soy sauce, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos is a live food. Another wheat free soy is tamari, if you prefer that. Set aside for at least 15-20 minutes to marinade and soften. Add the carrot and sesame oil. Mix well. Add the noodles and toss to mix well.
Custard Tartlets
(page 267, Ani's Raw Food Essentials)
CRUST (food processor):
CASHEW KREAM (blended)
To make crust, add nuts and salt into your food processor, and process into small pieces. Add dates to bind together your batter.
Line tartlet pan with plastic wrap. Press 2 tablespoons of the batter into pan. Remove tartlet crust, and place on plate.
Make kream by blending cashews with vanilla and water until smooth.
Scoop into tartlet crust. Top with fresh berry, and serve.
We're offering a special on raw cashews and kelp noodles this month in celebration of my newest book. For organic ingredients and my favorite kitchen tools, visit my estore at: www.GoSuperLife.com
On day 2 of my SF book tour I joined Dixie Mahy and Sharon at their combined SF Life and SF Vegetarian Society potluck in the Mission District for a book signing. I demonstrated my recipe for Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles, from page 227 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials (recipe is below). Dixie, the host, is well into her 70s, and full of fire and good energy. She's a testament to the vegan lifestyle.
The Mission was my old stomping ground in the early 90s, I lived at Treat Street and 24th Street. I was happy to see that much of the neighborhood seems to have kept its charm over the years.
Three beautiful ladies were excited to recently discover raw foods. Common questions were about weight loss and ingredients like agave. What I answer is to be happy, live in moderation, and have an attitude of gratitude. Stressing out about whether a goji berry has been dried 10 degrees too hot adds stress. We are blessed to have the knowledge we do to make informed decisions when it comes to what we choose to eat. We're privileged be able to decline food when people are starving in other countries. Keep perspective, and be happy. Happiness is a reflection of our inner health.
This lovely lady told me how her mom had been sent home to die over 40 years prior. Her mom instantly changed her diet to raw vegan, and has been thriving ever since! I believe illnesses comes from the accumulation of garbage in our body. Enjoying more raw vegan food, which are naturally cleansing and detoxifying, helps to decrease our toxic load along with our overall stress, boosts are immune system, and fuels longevity.
Here she is, thriving after 40+ years on raw vegan foods! She made by day by telling me I was going to save the world. That's a tall order.
A great group of people in SF, where I lived 8 years through the 90s. I miss all my friends and the culture of SF including electronic music, design, fashion, art, and the vibrant community culture. I didn't get to go dancing this trip, so I'll need to visit again soon, socially next time, just to hang out and absorb the beauty of SF.

I had the honor of appearing on Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang's show The View from the Bay, ABC Channel 7 along my San Francisco book tour for Ani's Raw Food Essentials. This was my 3rd appearance on the show, and I adore the hosts. Spencer loves raw food, and I think we've finally won Janelle over with these two recipes for Korean Stir-Fried Kelp Noodles with Vegetables (Jap Chae), page 224, and Custard Tartlets, page 267.

I kicked off my SF book tour at the Ferry Building Farmers' Market yesterday. It's sunny and warm here in San Francisco, and the market was packed with people shopping locally and seasonally. This has got to be the best farmer's market in the country. I found amazingly sweet peaches and beautiful heirloom squash that are only available 1-2 weeks a year. What a treat!
I spoke to a full house about the benefits of raw food, weight loss, natural living, happiness, and my new book Ani's Raw Food Essentials. I demoed a recipe for TOMATO AND TARRAGON BISQUE, page 137, and STRAWBERRY KREAM PIE, page 266.
Sarah, who organizes the chef demoes, helped me portion and pass out samples. Most people in the audience were already familiar with raw foods, but it's always fun to watch their reactions when they taste one of my raw recipes. Of course, folks loved the soup and dessert. You can see Barry Jan behind the camera on the left, and you'll find a couple of his photos in Ani's Raw Food Essentials from last year's farmer's market talk and demo.
This may have been my longest line for book signing yet. Patient people stood in line for 50 minutes to meet me and to have me sign their books. What a huge honor for me that folks would wait around so long. I love meeting people, hearing their stories in person, and feeling the love they share with me. This bright energy is what keeps me doing what I do…it fuels my soul.
It was lovely to see many long time friends, like Dr D, and old friend from LA who now lives in Thailand. He happened to be in town, and brought me a moss monkey that's the cutest plant I've ever seen! He'll have to care for monkey while I'm in Florida since I don't think it would make it on the plane.
Another long time friend and two lovebirds Jeff, who took all these photos for me, and Frog.
Hanging out at this awesome farmers' market on a warm, sunny day was the best way to spend my Saturday. From here, I headed to Napa next….

Listen to my interview with Carla on her radio show, Carla's Cooking Radio. I talk about benefits of raw foods, my background, how I got into raw foods, and many tips for enjoying more healthy fresh whole foods. Raw desserts are my favorite, like my Chocolate Raspberry Ganache cake, and eating it is good for you and guilt-free! I explain how eating desserts and raw foods can help you loose weight while making you healthier from the inside out to give you the glow of radiant beauty.
Carla shared with me her Raw Almond Pistachio Ice Cream Recipe. I can't wait to try making this!
Last Saturday, I was invited to speak at AuLac, my favorite raw restaurant in Fountain Valley, CA. Chef Ito is a good friend who makes the best food ever!
The goal for my new book is to take the mystery out of raw food prep, and to help everyone become their very own home raw food chef. Raw foods prep can be easy, fast, and doesn't need to cost a ton of money.
I introduce simple, paired down recipes I call basics, then teach the reader how to add on additional ingredients to mix up the flavors to create endless varieties of recipes. I include tips on setting up the Essential Raw Kitchen, shopping lists, eco green living resources, lists of recipes that travel well, sample menus, importance of probiotics, and how to ferment drinks and vegetables.
Following my talks, I always love to sign books because I get to meet people in person. I enjoy hearing their stories, inspirations, and passions. Sometimes, it's a sad story of a spouse lost to cancer that puts someone onto the path of raw and live foods. But it's always a good thing when people start to understand the correlation between health, vitality, happiness, and our diet.
Fountain Valley is an area known as Little Siagon. It's full of Asian markets, and AuLac serves the best Vietnamese cooked foods. Unfortunately, I've never tried any because whenever I'm at AuLac, I'm wishing my tummy was bigger so I could eat up more and more of Chef Ito's raw foods.
The photos above were taken by the lovely Maria Loewenstein, pictured in green. Pete is on the left, and designs the coolest contemporary eco green kitchens (Artistic Freedom Designs), John Johnson was just awarded a lifetime achievement award for his body piercing work, and Lien Chau Zhang is my beautiful film maker friend passionate to end the suffering of animals. She told me an amazing story about this new chain of vegan Asian style restaurants that has opened up 130 Loving Hut vegan locations globally in the past year!
In this episode I talk about my new raw food uncookbook, Ani's Raw Food Essentials, on Day 2 of my new book tour here in Hollywood at Erewhon. Brother Echo from Raw Sangha created this great episode documenting my presentation, talk, and book signing. I had a great time speaking with Brother Echo. He's a glow of bright light sharing his great gifts with our world. Thanks Brother Echo!
For weeks, friends had been calling to say they saw a poster of me on Beverly Blvd. Now I can see why. Erewhon is the greatest store in the world for everything raw. Juan Hernandez has been the Erewhon force behind this great raw department. I'm holding a print gift from Tyler Golden, my food photographer, of my Mandu Dumpling recipe from Ani's Raw Food Essentials. I love it!
Another photo in front of my poster, this time with one of my favorite actors and directors Vincent Gallo. He directed and acted in Buffalo '66 (1998) with Christina Ricci, who I love too. I attended high school in Buffalo, and enjoyed watching this film years ago. Buffalo '66 was the first time I saw the camera effect when the set stays still and the camera pans 360 around the characters. This was a year prior to the same effects in the Matrix film.
It was another packed house on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Erewhon in Hollywood. I demonstrated how to make my Strawberry Kream Pie using dates, cashews, vanilla, and strawberries. The lovely Christy Morgan (in purple) volunteered to help me portion out the tastes and get them into the crowd. Everyone loved the dessert, it was fast and easy to make, and tasted delicious.
I talked about the importance of probiotics in our diets. In America, we take antibiotics, which kill off all our healthy intestinal flora. Probiotics will help us to regain balance in our digestive tract. My new book includes a chapter on probiotic drinks including kefir and kombuch, and another on probiotic pickled vegetables inspired from my Korean heritage.
I always love signing books after a talk and food presentation. It's when I really get to connect with people and hear their stories. These two lovelies are getting married soon, and told me they're planning to have 3 raw cakes at their wedding.
I had previously met Dana at one of the Community Services Unlimited gardens, where she was elbow deep planting greens in the dirt. Her garden is beautiful, very well maintained, and full of the most delicious plants. Read my post on the CSU, Inc gardens.
Thank you to Juan for hosting, Christy for helping, Tyler Golden for taking photos, and Raw Sangha's Brother Echo for filming yesterday's event. Brother Echo said he'd have a video up that I'll link to in a day or so. Thanks everyone for joining me and celebrating my new book!

Rack & Pinion Steering on a Chevy C-20 Suspension?

No worries about the length of the reply. In fact my question was a lot longer than your answer.
Thanks for the replies. As I said, the truck is still being disassembled, so nothing has been done to the suspension of either vehicle at this point.
Ok, we have a lot to consider as far as narrowing the front crossmember is concerned. To be honest, I didn't feel right about going that far anyway, but it was an option, so I threw it out there for consideration.
So, I guess the only question remaining is whether or not there's a R&P unit out there that'll come close to the measurements of the steering system of the stock (un-narrowed) Chevy C-20 front end that won't require huge amounts of modification and is beefy enough to get the job done. We understand the ends of the rack that attach to the tie rods might have to be machined, or different tie rods all together might have to be used, but it's still possible to use R&P. His main question was in reference to the weight and length of the vehicle and the donor front end. I just haven't found anything online so far about those topics to help us determine whether or not his truck is even a candidate for R&P or not. And yes, we're still looking - and not just online.
He's eliminated the idea of using a front clip from a Camaro or some other passenger car for a couple of reasons. In talking to a couple of other people here locally who drive AD pickups that have been clipped, he just doesn't think it'll work for his needs. You also have to remember that this truck is on a 1-Ton frame, and that frame is different than the half-ton frame most people into the AD trucks are used to.
This is a long term project (he is figuring on about 5 years) so it's not like we're heading to the wrecking yard to search for an R&P unit today and bolt it in tonight. He's taking his time and trying to do things right the first time to avoid problems in the future. What I'm saying is we are researching things now and doing what work on the truck we can do while he's making up his mind about other things and checking into them. Lord knows there's lots of body work and an engine to build to keep him occupied for the next couple of years. This board is part of that research, and the input from both of you is greatly appreciated.
Please don't hesitate to add to your comments or point us in other directions. He wants a truck that is first of all safe to drive. He doesn't want to spend all day under it polishing things afterward. He wants to build it to drive. He'd rather have a more modern independent front suspension that incorporates disk brakes and power steering. The C-20 front end fits those requirements. If he ends up having to use the stock steering box and adapting it to work with the stock '55 frame and '81 crossmember, so be it. But it's worth asking about. Better to do that than go ahead and try it, then have to undo all that work.
Thanks again!

Nice train hard!!
This is a discussion on Just bought my first ccw. within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Nice pistola and welcome to DCF. Even better news you don't have to load your SD weapon with FMJ's like you did in your military ...
Nice pistola and welcome to DCF. Even better news you don't have to load your SD weapon with FMJ's like you did in your military career; get some good HP's like Gold Dots, Ranger, Win. Bonded, etc. and that 9millie will be much more effective. Just to give a couple of options on holsters: in Kydex I like Dale Fricke and Garrett Industries; leather Milt Sparks, Kramer and High Noon. Don't forget a purpose designed gun belt, you will be better concealed and more comfortable. Again, welcome.

Thank you for your Service. And congrats on the M&P!
Welcome from Wisconsin! Excellent choice in a firearm.

Welcome to DC and congrats on your first CC pistol. Great choice.

I picked up my M&P9c 2 wks ago and like you had a hard time finding it. After calling 21 gun shops in my immediate area I found my new carry piece. It's been flawless for the first 350 rounds and what's more I'm significantly more accurate with it than any other of my pistols (Kahr CW9, Walther PPS, Glock36, G23 G4). Yesterday I dumped all 12 rnds as fast as I could into a group the size of my fist at 5 yds. I also went with an MKII holster from Double Tap Holsters with some slight modifications requested. I'd highly suggest a thin custom Kydex holster from pjholsters.com or doubletapholsters.com. Enjoy your M&P!! You've certainly made a fine choice!
You just made a lot of people envious. Nice choice and welcome aboard.

Congrats and welcome. I have the full size m&P9 and really dig it. Smooth shooter.
I'm a little late to reply to this, I see it is about a week old thread. In any event, to the OP -thanks for your service. That is a fantastic gun. I shot one for the first round of my CCW range qualifications. I had handled a lot of different platforms and I gravitated to the S&W M&P's because of the ergonomics - they feel good in my hands. When I got to try one out in class I jumped at the chance. What a great shooting gun. I liked the 9c so much I bought a 40c for the heavier round while retaining the same exact platform. Since then I EDC the 40c. My 3 carry positions are: Crossbreed Supertuck IWB at about 4:00-4:30 EDC concealed with tucked in polos or button-down shirts, DeSantis Speed Scabbard if I'm out shopping or whatever and have a coat/jacket on = not buried under layers of clothes, or an Uncle Mikes #4 pocket holster (yes, I do pocket carry this gun - and I'm not a big guy either, 5'10" 130lbs).
I will say that the 9mm version, for me, does shoot better than the .40. I am not where I want to be with it yet. I also have the extended mag/grip extension, but I added it. The grip extension I have is the generic X-grip, not the S&W X-grip version. It works fine though. I like the full grip a lot, but due to the longer length I don't carry with that mag - its my backup sometimes.
I have held a couple of them and they seem to be a great gun. Those that own one love them!
For my first CCW I acquired a Kimber Ultra Carry II 9mm. Thinking about getting a Desantis Speed Scabbard for it.
Any thoughts?
Again....thank you for serving!
I'm glad this thread made back up to the top! Congrats on your new firearm and thank you for your service.
