Now I was taught that you can't carry in certain places in my CCW course namely the list in the law. I got that.
I was taught no carry in churches (unless ok'd by the pastor and board) and schools. And this concerned me as I'm a school bus driver and a ministry leader at my church.
Now I got my CHP back in October and my course in early August and there was nothing about carrying on a bus but about 3 weeks later, there it was, subsection 10 on section 1 of MO 571.030.
(1) Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use; or
(8) Carries a firearm or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any church or place where people have assembled for worship, or into any election precinct on any election day, or into any building owned or occupied by any agency of the federal government, state government, or political subdivision thereof; or
(10) Carries a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any school, onto any school bus, or onto the premises of any function or activity sponsored or sanctioned by school officials or the district school board.
Now I failed to read further until tonight. Section 4 of MO 571.030
4. Subdivisions (1), (8), and (10) of subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to any person who has a valid concealed carry endorsement issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121 or a valid permit or endorsement to carry concealed firearms issued by another state or political subdivision of another state.
Now go read the entire thing here: Section 571-030 Unlawful use of weapons--exceptions--pe
And tell me what you think, y'all.
Does it make you legal to carry in the church, polling place, or school with a legal CCW permit? If so, Missouri just became the coolest place to have a CHP

Nicaragua - Women and Children First
4621 Sterling Cross
Nashville, TN 37211
Serving women and children in Nicaragua through love with mercy and grace and with the hope that all will come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Nicaraguan women and children are utimately the victims of the poor economic conditions. Only 36 % of the women are economically active and often earn less pay than men in the same job. Un-wed pregancies are common with 52% of the women giving birth by age 20. Domestic violence and actions of violence against women are widespread. Children often suffer malnutrition and infectious diseases. The average Nicaraguan has completed less than 5 years schooling. Almost 30% of children aged 3-12 remain outside the formal education system. Only 67 % of those over the age of 15 can read and write.
Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires occur frequently, often with devastating impact. For the nearly 6 million population, poverty, hunger, and the need for healthcare can cause daily struggles. Income levels are now lower than those of the 1960's. An estimated 75% of the population live on less than $2 per day. Nearly 65% of the workforce is unemployed or underemployed.
The goal to improve the quality of life for the people in Nicaragua to a level similar to other Central American countries is one that will not come easily or quickly. The problems are so immense. But we can certainly help those in need today by sharing the love of Christ with encouragement and assistance to the women and children of Nicaragua.

Patriotic Ads -- and Minuses
By Diane Brady
With the red, white, and blue a dominant theme in stores and on product packaging these days, it's clear companies think there's money to be made off the understandably patriotic response to September 11. Everything from bed sheets to underwear is suddenly boasting images of Old Glory. Meanwhile, a number of companies are starting to push patriotic themes in their advertising, from subtle tugs on the heartstrings with family-oriented messages to the Keep America Rolling mantra of General Motors.
Corporate America should be aware of the risk of pushing the patriotic angle too far, however. While consumers may be primed to do the right thing, they're also acutely sensitive to ad taste. As Keith L. Reinhard, chairman of ad agency DDB Worldwide, puts it: "At a time like this, there's a very fine line between being appropriately patriotic and disgustingly opportunistic."
So what's the difference? Perhaps it's the distance between companies that quietly donate money or services to help victims of September 11 -- and those that broadcast their good deeds. Everyone from Britney Spears to the folks at Anheuser-Busch seems eager to outline their contribution to the relief efforts. The beermaker even mentions in a press release that police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical workers will get free entrance to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Sesame Park until the end of this year.
And that's just part of the company's generosity. As Vice-President John Jacob notes: "We can do no less than answer the call to help those who have been devastated by these horrible events." Meanwhile, some might argue it was not critical for Choice Hotels to put out a press release titled: "Choice Hotels Joins Travel Community In Denouncing Terrorist Attacks." Had it been the opposite message, that would have been news.
In some cases, companies may be stretching the patriotic call a little too far. Traveling to terrorism-torn New York may legitimately be cast as a good deed. But is heading back to the gambling halls of Las Vegas, as suggested in some ads, really the same thing? Then there are the images of American flags now filling newspapers, complete with subtle corporate logos underneath.
To be fair, business leaders are struggling with how to respond appropriately to the crisis. Companies ranging from Federal Express to PepsiCo pulled ads deemed insensitive in the days following September 11. Many others, including American Express and General Electric, tried to put out general messages of condolences and support. Heroes are popping up in ads for Coca-Cola, and family has become a recurrent theme in selling products.
Patriotism is especially evident when it comes to the financial services sector. Suddenly, buying stocks in a down market is a duty. The New York Stock Exchange's patriotic "Let Freedom Ring" was genuinely touching. Even though the NYSE's infrastructure was damaged in the attacks, its members bravely marshaled to resume trading just a few days later.
However, "Lord Abbett investment recommendation: America", as one ad for the investment firm stated, is a little too much. Charles Schwab is another firm encouraging Americans to stand tall -- and invest. Buying shares of a company that has seen its fortunes suddenly change may be patriotic, but it doesn't always make good sense. After all, even the proudest Americans are more drawn to a good deal than a good cause.
In many cases, an overt appeal to patriotism isn't necessary or palatable. Take the Big Three carmakers. The Commerce Secretary asked them to pump up demand, which they've done with 0% financing. Given the state of the economy, these guys would be offering rebates and discounts right now in any case.
So why does GM have to boast that it's aiming to "Keep America Rolling," while Ford pledges to "Help Move America Forward?" Free financing can slice up to $4,000 off the total cost of a $22,000 car. For many, that's reason enough to buy. Wrapping those sorts of deals in Old Glory, and doing so to the accompaniment of chest-beating rhetoric, just adds a saccharine tone to what is otherwise a great deal.
DaimlerChrysler is only slightly more subtle. Its "Home for the Holidays" program offers Americans "peace of mind" as they travel by car with an extended warranty. (Hint: Who in their right mind wants to fly?) George Murphy, the company's senior vice-president for global brand marketing, says the pitch simply reflects research that shows a growing consumer demand to drive this season.
And, he explains, "they said they'd love anything that gives them a little peace of mind at this period." Never mind that the original warranty covers the entire car for three years. Given that this is an "extra special" holiday in which "we all want to be extra close to friends and loved ones," it makes sense to spare customers the agony of worrying about engine failure in 2005. O.K., the carmakers have long woven patriotism into their sales pitches, but some of this seems a bit much.
For many, simply opening their wallets is a patriotic act at a time when rising unemployment and economic volatility might otherwise tempt them to rein in expenses. A recent study by ad agency Foote, Cone & Belding found a surge in "defiant capitalism," with two-thirds of respondents spending at the same or higher levels than prior to September 11.
Consider Jennifer Bagazinski, whose Halloween party took a patriotic turn this year. Revelers who would normally bring six-packs of British ale were instead showing up with Sam Adams, brewed in Boston. Bagazinski, a 26-year-old ad executive from Troy, Mich., supplied only American-made alcohol as well. Her patriotism goes one step further: She even felt compelled to drive into the country to buy a "noncommercial pumpkin" and recently rejected grapes that weren't grown in the U.S. "I want to help our economy and not somebody else's," she explains.
In some crowds, however, buying anything is a good deed. Look at Dan Oliver, who sat drinking Heineken with his pals at a Times Square bar on Oct. 29. "The mayor told me to buy, not buy American," he said, holding up the Dutch beer. The message: Get back to normal.
And normal means consuming a range of global brands, says retail consultant Kurt Barnard, who notes that "we're all accustomed to seeing the little stamp, 'Made in China.'" Moreover, those lines are blurring as Toyotas are assembled stateside and Nike footwear is made in Vietnam. What's more, patriotic instincts can split along generational lines. While older consumers can get weepy at images of the flag, the younger generation may be unaccustomed to patriotic themes in this age of globalization.
Mark Gobe, head of brand consultancy D/G* Worldwide, argues that younger buyers are "much more sensitive to the types of actions a corporation takes." Good corporate citizens do better with this crowd -- and they don't need to take out ads boasting about their good behavior to make an impact.
That's not to say patriotism isn't going to be an important factor in determining consumer trends for some time to come. Brand America is certainly hot, with everything from flag-inspired items to firefighter gear flying off store shelves. Strategist Marian Salzman of ad agency Euro RSCG Worldwide predicts particular opportunities for "brands, images, and icons that recall the rebel or independent nature of the American spirit."
Still, Corporate America would do well to bear in mind that rebels are often the first to notice when they're being taken for a ride.

EconSouth (Second Quarter 2000)
Fed's Regional Structure Provides
ne of the by-products of the unique structure of the Federal Reserve System is the role the 12 regional banks play in gathering grassroots economic information from their respective regions. The most familiar evidence of this effort is found in the Fed's Beige Book, a set of summaries of current economic conditions from each region that, collectively, span the nation's economy.
The view from the Southeast
Theoretically, it is useful to think of the Atlanta Fed's region as an open economy that trades with the rest of the world, mostly the rest of the United States. Economists have a rich set of models and results that apply to small, open economies, but in the real world few countries can match up to the theoretically pure case. The Southeast comes close, however, because it really is an integrated part of the larger economy, and goods, capital and labor flow freely in and out of the region.
Regional trends have national implications
The surge in new housing construction that occurred at the beginning of this economic expansion boosted employment and income disproportionately in the Southeast because of this concentration. Similarly, capital investment in Southeastern plants eased materials shortages that hampered national construction in the mid-1990s. Whatever is going on in the relevant portions of district manufacturing serves as a check on the larger view of the national housing market. Another example is tourism, where national income growth and confidence in future income growth play a disproportionate role in the Southeast's hospitality sector.
Since the Southeast region is quite large, the Atlanta Fed has branches across the region, in Miami, Jacksonville, Nashville, Birmingham and New Orleans. Each branch has its own board of directors, whose members provide economic reports that are used by the Atlanta Fed's research department. Often, the anecdotal data gathered from directors and their business contacts precede national developments, where data are available only with a lag. For example, reports from our Jacksonville branch of tightening credit standards preceded the national "credit crunch" associated with the downturn in the early 1990s by more than a year.

" Brand: Air Blasters / Type: Foam dart gun / Nerf style gun "
My husband recently went to Smyths to buy extra shotgun bullets for my sons' air blaster shotguns. Unable to find spares for the shotgun shells, he came home with two more guns, although each one comes with shells and darts. My husband certainly has a thing for buying the boys guns and other violent toys - I think he is trying to counteract my overly soft influence, LOL. I honestly don't mind the boys having guns though, it certainly keeps them happy and I do prefer this set to their other set of guns.
These guns are currently on sale at £9.49 each at Smyths or £10.00 with Tesco Direct. They are well made, of heavy plastic. This seems as if it would be very difficult to break, and we have had no problem with rough and tumble play, and even my youngest whacking Daddy over the head when bullets failed to kill him. He likes dramatic deaths. It comes with six plastic shotgun shells and six foam darts which fit into a spring loaded clip and can be fired as fast as you can cock the lever and pull the trigger.
The recommended age for this is 6 years +. I am not really certain the reason for this age recommendation. My best guess would be the possibility of a child hitting themself in the eye with the plastic shell, but as this ejects out the side, this seems unlikely. The spent cartridges do eject with a bit of force, but nearly so much as with our other air blaster shotguns, where the plastic cartridges eject with considerable force from the back of the gun, and the other guns do not have an age recommendation. My sons are ages 2 and 6, and I am happy enough for both of them to play with this, but of course it is for each parent to decide if this is suitable for their child. I would not allow my youngest to use this if he was still at the ages of chewing on toys as I imagine a child could bite a chunk out of the foam easily enough. Both children are able to work the cocking mechanism on this, and fire this gun with no problems, but the youngest does need some help with reloading the clips.
My sons really love playing with these. They quite enjoy playing hide and seek games where you jump out shooting, or chasing each other around the house firing away. The best fun of course is probably ambushing Mom and Dad. I have gotten used to the odd foam dart landing in my tea, or getting shot in the back as I walk down the hall. My husband provides more fun though, especially when he is playing PS3 and can be counted on to jump out and roar meaningless threats to the laughter of both children.
The foam darts do not hit with enough force to hurt, although my husband claims they do. In the interest of this review I have fired a couple of them point blank against my skin, and it is completely painless. Both children also say it does not hurt. They do not do any damage to things like the TV or fish tank, nor have they knocked over anything on the mantle, but obviously some common sense should be applied as to using these in rooms with light weight delicate items like fine china. I highly doubt Alyson would want anyone playing with these near her Betty Boop collection!
As far as outdoor toys, I really do not think these are ideal. It's far to easy to lose the foam darts, but even the orange plastic shells could go missing outdoors and they are much more difficult to replace. The gun will not work without the shells either. I have also found from past experiences, the foam darts quickly get stained up and grubby looking being trampled on out in the garden. I'd prefer water guns outdoors anyway, but these are wonderful fun for the long winter days when we just can't get outdoors enough.
My sons are delighted with these and say they are the best guns ever - but then they say that about every new set of guns. Still they obviously enjoy them, and it keeps them active indoors. I'm happy enough with them for the price paid, and seeing my beloved husband get whacked over the head was just the icing on the cake - Yes I do actually love him, but we've been together long enough for me to enjoy seeing him tortured a bit as well ;)
If you like a nice quiet house and all wild play consigned to the garden, then these are not the toys for you. If like us though, you don't mind noise and commotion, or even full scale war in the house, then give these a try.

We were founded in May 1919, just after the First World War. Our original name was the Ex-Servicemen's Welfare Society and we opened our first "recuperative home" in 1920 on Putney Hill in South West London.
"The Hon. Organiser reported that she had registered the name as the Ex-Servicemen's Welfare Society". Executive Committee minutes, 12 May 1919.
When the charity formed, it was ahead of its time. The prevailing attitude to mental welfare was, by today's standards, primitive, even barbaric.
Those who suffered from mental breakdown during their Service life received little or no sympathy. Indeed, during the First World War, if it led to failure to obey orders, death by firing squad was always a possibility.
At the end of the War there were thousands of men returning from the front and from sea suffering from shell-shock. Many were confined in Mental War Hospitals under Martial Law - with the risk of being sent on, without appeal, to asylums.
But the founding mothers of Combat Stress believed that these men could be helped to cope with their condition through a rehabilitation programme.
Work was seen as essential to masculine identity; it provided men with financial security and many doctors believed it to be an excellent form of therapy. So, for many years, Combat Stress ran employment schemes that created real work opportunities for Veterans.
A lot has changed since then, right now, we are working with more than 5,900 Veterans who suffer mental ill-health. Our residential and community treatment programmes support Veterans with severe PTSD, anxiety and depression. We also work in partnership with other organisations to support veterans within their community. To find out more about our services and treatments please follow this link.

We don't know what Treasurer Scott Morrison will deliver in his first budget and, given the contradictory statement from the government, Morrison probably doesn't know himself.
But what we do know is he will break just about every economic undertaking made by the Coalition before the last election.
First and foremost he will break the promises of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
In the Coalition's campaign launch, Abbott said on August 25, 2013, that by the end of the Coalition's first term the budget would be on track to a believable surplus. Within a decade, the budget surplus would be one per cent of GDP.
Well we're less than 12 months from the end of the first term and a believable surplus is nowhere in sight.
Abbott also said his government would be a "no surprises", "no excuses government".
Unfortunately for him, the biggest surprise was that it wouldn't be his government for long. He would be one of those rare beings, a winner of a federal election not given the opportunity to fight the next election.
Now "the nasty surprises and lame excuses from people you have trusted" are upon him.
But in truth Abbott only had himself to blame. He claimed he could get the debt and deficit down, remove the carbon and mining taxes and maintain all major government expenditure programs. It was always a lie. (Or it was an example of someone who hasn't mastered basic arithmetic.)
Before the last election Joe Hockey was at Abbott's side making the same promises.
On May 16, 2012, he told the National Press Club, "Based on the numbers presented last Tuesday night we will achieve a surplus in our first year in office and we will achieve a surplus for every year of our first term."
He followed this up in January 2013 saying, "Based on the numbers published today, we will deliver a surplus in our first year and every year after that."
As late as March 2, 2015, now running the Treasury, he said, "We have got to have a credible plan to get the budget back to surplus so that we as a nation can start to live within our means."
On top of that, addressing Parliament a few days later, he poured scorn on former Labor Treasurer Wayne Swan for his budget estimates that predicted a surplus.
Referring to Swan's book on his time in office Hockey said, "I am just going through the index here. I can see 'Dominique Strauss-Kahn', 'superannuation', 'Erinn Swan', 'Kim Swan', 'Libbi Swan', 'Matthew Swan', 'Wayne Swan', but no 'surplus'."
Now Hockey's gone and his record shows no surplus either.
The mid-year economic outlook statement delivered in December estimates that the underlying cash deficit will be $37.4 billion (2.3 per cent of GDP) this financial year and $14.2 billion (0.7 per cent of GDP) in 2018-19.
Trade Minister Andrew Robb is gone too, along with his fanciful predictions. On the morning following the election in September 2013 he said: 1. "As of today the mining boom will be rebooted." 2. "There's $150 billion worth of projects there to be grabbed." and 3." People's jobs will grow massively."
In fact the boom has bust and the mining industry, which was never a large employer, has shed jobs.
In time we will find the huge claimed benefits from Robb's much-vaunted free trade deals will prove as illusory. But that's another story.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is in the enviable position of not having a trail of major pre-election broad economic promises we can quote.
He was in the relative back-water of communications policy. But there he did promise that he would give all Australians access to 25 megabits per second download speeds by the end of 2016. He will not deliver on that.
And he is struggling to work out what he will deliver by way of tax reform and where his government's priorities lie on the debt and deficit versus social security, health and education expenditure front.
He is hoping, of course, the electorate will treat him as a clean skin and accept Morrison's first budget as an election manifesto.
If he can get away with that, he will have created a new formula for political success in Australia. ★ After my column of February 14 on mining royalties and mine rehabilitation I had feedback from readers that the financial assurances companies provided for rehabilitation were not in the form of cash or actual funds held by the government. They were just some sort of promise.
I put this to the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection which holds $5.88 billion in such assurances.
The following is the response:
"The Queensland Government currently holds some $5.88 billion in financial assurance covering mining and associated operations across the state.
"The general, whole-of-government position is that financial assurance is lodged as bank guarantees. (Cash may be accepted in limited circumstances, subject to approval by the department.)
"EHP requires that these bank guarantees are irrevocable, unconditional and payable on demand and further that the financial institution providing this guarantee meets the requirements of Queensland's Financial and Performance Management Standard 2009.
"As 'irrevocable, unconditional and payable on demand', such financial assurances are not 'just some sort of promise'."
"Bank guarantees are an unconditional undertaking given by the bank and the bank must make good on these arrangements if called upon, whether or not the mining operation ceases operation, moves towards administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, or disclaims its mining lease or abandons the site."

Re-Plumbing Drain
I'm replacing my vanity top and want to swap out the old galvanized steel drain pipe; judging by the water damage underneath the taped up part, this has leaked a lot in the past. What's the best way to replace this? (I want to use PVC.) I checked in the basement and the drain pipe never goes through the floor, I'm guessing it must go through the wall and connect to the cast iron drain pipe where the toilet is about 3 feet to the left. Should I just plug the old pipe going into the wall, drill a hole through the floor and bottom of the vanity, and add a T to another existing drain pipe? Whoever installed the vanity didn't center it very well and it'll require lots of angles to fit properly.
There should be a nipple(1 1/4) in the wall elbow. It is likely rusted at the threads and should be replaced. They are often very hard to get out, sometime requiring removal of the vanity top for better access. Once out, a new version made with PVC can be installed. Clean out the elbow, they are often partially clogged. Don't forget to wrap the threads with teflon tape or I use plumbers putty. The rest should be easy, using the old as a guide. You need a new P trap with a slip loint connection, probably a 45(other angles available) out of the nipple, and you are ready to go. All of the old chrome looks bad so replace everything.
If this is the only problematic drain in the house consider yourself lucky.
Plan to OPEN THE WALL behind the vanity some in order to inspect and (likely) have room to replace the (tee) fitting your drain attaches to.
If your luck holds... you'll be able to replace the threaded nipple with a PVC threaded adapter and then attach your vanity trap fittings to that.
So it'd be easier to cut through the bottom of the vanity and floor and run new pipe?

Matt, in the first post you said:
"I'm replacing my vanity top and want to swap out the old galvanized..."
When you have the top off... also pull the vanity cabinet away from the wall.
AT THAT TIME you can inspect and evaluate... then do what is needed.
Until you get in there it is all supposition.
When you're all done you can reinstall the cabinet and your new top.
Well, I'm just thinking it'll be easier to drill a hole as opposed to tearing up a wall. The drain line for the shower runs right under the sink in the basement so it'd be easy to tap into that (and be connected to the vent).
I'm just figuring once I pull the vanity away from the wall it'll just be a pipe sticking out of drywall and won't tell me anything.
it is all supposition.
Plan to OPEN THE WALL behind the vanity some in order to inspect and (likely) have room to replace the (tee) fitting your drain attaches to.
you may have to open the floor as well. Drywall repair is the easy part.
Again, until you open up the wall to get in in there and see...
it is all supposition.
it is all supposition.
If the line doesnt go through the floor id be willing to bet theres just a 90 in the wall tied to a pipe running laterally over to the stack.
Id pull the vanity out and just open the area directly around the fitting coming out of wall to check things out first,easy to hide behind the new vanity :)
Question though... I've read stuff that says not to use a female PVC connection on a male metal connection. Is this only for pressure applications? Because that was the only way to hook this up.
Your info is wrong. It's fine to go PVC to metal drains.
It would have been far better to remove all of that old steel pipe before it plugs up or starts leaking (and it will at some point).

All-Suncoast Volleyball Team
Player of the Year
Maddie Martin, Sr., OH, Plant
Martin finished her high school career with plenty of gold medals and a bevy of individual accolades. She won state titles in each of her four seasons at Plant, and was named an Under Armour All-American and the Gatorade Florida Player of the Year.
The 6-foot-2 Penn State recruit was the most dominant player in the state, and while opposing teams went into every match knowing they had to stop her at the net to beat the Panthers, they simply couldn't.
Martin has overcome preseason injuries the past two seasons (an ankle last year and a shoulder this season), but still remained the most complete player. Her back-row defense was exemplary, averaging 2.9 digs. She also served 53 aces, and averaged 6.3 kills a game in five region and state matches, bettering her 5.1 season average.
First team
Berkley Whaley, So., OH, Lakewood: Sophomore sensation has every major college volleyball program tracking her every move.
Ali McCurdy, Sr., Lib, Plant: Bay area's best defensive player was named Under Armour second-team All-American.

Mackenzie Dagostino, So., S/RS, Berkeley Prep: Played her best when it mattered most, in the Class 3A state tournament.
Cassie Roy, Sr., OH, Palm Harbor University: Sweet-swinging dynamo led the Hurricanes to a district title and the Pinellas County public school championship.
