7th Annual Wings & Wheels Fall Festaval
Brought to you again this year by the Mid Atlantic Ford Dealers!
This event is sponsored by The Greater Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Delaware Aviation Museum and the Wheels that Heal Car Club and will be held on October 4, 2014 (rain date October 5) so mark your calendars now and don't miss this great event.
The event features a "Fly In" of vintage planes and a huge car show with classic cars, trucks and more, WW II Re-enactments, food vendors, craft vendors, musical entertainment, games and events for the kids.
We welcome back this year, Lt. Col. Dick Cole. Dick was co-pilot to Jimmy Doolittle, mission commander. Lt. Col. Cole attends a lot of events but enjoyed Wings & Wheels so much, he has asked to return, which says a lot about our event! The raid on Tokyo on April 19, 1942, caused minor damage but it forced the Japanese to recall its forces. The B-25 bomber (pictured) used in the raid, was the largest aircraft at the time from the deck of a carrier--the USS Hornet. Click here for more information!

It was a normal lunch period at Saranac High School when junior Riley Baughn saw his friend gasping for breath.
"Took a bite of an apple and he started choking. I didn't realize, like he was coughing and breathing in the beginning. I didn't know what was wrong with him. I went over to him and asked him," Riley said.
When Riley realized his friend was choking, he picked him up and performed the Heimlich maneuver-- something he's heard how to do, but never actually done.
"Didn't really fly out it kind of rolled out, but I heard him start coughing so I figured that was a sign to stop. So I stopped and he started coughing again, so I did a little bit more just to double-check. Then he started breathing again," Riley said.
Friends of Riley's alerted the American Red Cross about his heroic action. He won the Red Cross's statewide Hometown Hero award. Riley is the first North Country resident to receive this honor.
"Important that people are aware of proper procedures for the Heimlich maneuver, CPR, and so on, because it's just something you never know when it's going to be needed," said Peter Ensel of the American Red Cross.
Even though it was Riley's first time, he performed the Heimlich perfectly.
"Put your fist and your thumb, and take your other hand over it and push up with it forcefully. That's what I did anyway," he explained.
Riley remains modest and says his act was just instinct, wanting to help someone in need.

Rita's surprise elopement in the middle of shooting Cover Girl to marry Orson Welles.The press had a field day describing it as the marriage of Beauty and the Brain. (September 9, 1943.)
According to co-star Lee Bowman:
'Rita arrived on the set the day we were shooting the film's wedding scene. She looked very lovely sitting there in her wedding dress while the crew were setting up. Rita sat there with her hands in her lap, her eyes very big and a lovely big pussy smile on her face. When any of us asked, "What is it, Rita?" she'd just shake her head and say, "Mmm, I've got a secret." Wouldn't say anything else. The first we knew what it was came during the lunch break when somebody brought us the papers with the headlines.'

Neutralizing Antibodies Offer Clues for HIV Vaccine Research

- Published on Tuesday, 04 March 2014 00:00
- Written by Wits University
Researchers have identified broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting variable regions of the HIV-1 envelope that controlled superinfection in a South African woman, according to a report in the March 2, 2014, online edition of Nature. Learning more about such antibodies and how they work may aid the development of preventive or therapeutic HIV vaccines.
Although the body produces antibodies in response to HIV infection, in most people the immune system is not able to control the virus. Some individuals, however, do manage to keep HIV in check, offering insight into what must be done to give other people this ability.
At an HIV community cure workshop preceding the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2014) this week in Boston, Romas Gelezunias from Gilead Sciences described several avenues of HIV cure research, including potent and broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies derived from HIV patients he dubbed "elite neutralizers."
Below is an edited excerpt from a press release issued by Wits University describing the Nature study in more detail.
New Research on Potent HIV Antibodies
March 3, 2014 -- The discovery of how a KwaZulu-Natal woman's body responded to her HIV infection by making potent antibodies (called broadly neutralizing antibodies, because they are able to kill multiple strains of HIV from across the world), was reported today by the CAPRISA consortium of AIDS researchers jointly with scientists from the United States.
The study, published in the scientific journal Nature, describes how the research team found and identified these antibodies in her blood and then duplicated them by cloning the antibodies in the laboratory. The cloned antibodies were then used in a series of experiments in the laboratory to elucidate the pathway followed by her immune system to make these potent antibodies.
The South African researchers in the CAPRISA consortium, which includes scientists from Wits University, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in Johannesburg, the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the University of Cape Town, worked jointly with U.S. partners based at the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, and Columbia University in New York, to conduct this research.
"In this new publication, we have been able to isolate a broadly neutralizing antibody from this CAPRISA volunteer and trace its origins to understand exactly how it arose. This could lead to new HIV vaccine strategies that are able to stimulate the rare precursors of these protective antibodies," says Professor Lynn Morris, from the National Health Laboratory Service in the Wits School of Pathology who leads the research team at the NICD.
Professor Salim S. Abdool Karim, leader of the CAPRISA consortium and President of the Medical Research Council, commented, "The new insights gained from this KwaZulu-Natal woman into immune responses against HIV bring hope for future HIV prevention and treatment strategies. This woman, referred to as CAPRISA 256 (abbreviated to CAP256), is doing well on antiretroviral therapy and continues to attend the CAPRISA clinic regularly."
Just over a year ago, the same team of South African researchers reported in Nature Medicine (also part of the Nature group of journals) on their discovery relating to two other KwaZulu-Natal women, that a shift in the position of one sugar molecule on the surface of the virus led to the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.
All HIV infected people respond to HIV by making antibodies. In most patients, these antibodies are not able to kill a wide range of HIV -- this is described as a lack of neutralization breadth. However, in a few infected people, they naturally make antibodies that kill (neutralize) many different kinds of HIV (i.e. they are broadly neutralizing antibodies).
"Broadly neutralizing antibodies have some unusual features," says Dr. Penny Moore, from Wits University and one of the lead South African scientists on the study based at the NICD. "The outer covering (envelope) of HIV has a coating of sugars that prevents antibodies from reaching the surface to neutralize the virus. In this patient, we found that her antibodies had 'long arms', which enabled them to reach through the sugar coat that protects HIV." In this study, the researchers found that these antibodies had 'long arms' right at the outset. "We discovered that some HIV antibodies are born with 'long arms', requiring less time and fewer changes to become effective in killing HIV," says Moore.
The identification and successful cloning of these special antibodies enables the researchers to make sufficiently large quantities for further testing, similar to the way a medicine used to prevent or treat HIV would be tested. "Our goal is to test these antibodies, preferably in combination with other broadly neutralizing antibodies, directly in patients with HIV infection or in patients at risk of getting infected," said Karim. "But this will take some time as the team is currently planning animal studies as a first step.
Broadly neutralizing antibodies have previously been shown to be effective in preventing and treating HIV infection in animals, but this has never before been shown in humans." The future studies on animals and humans are being supported by the Strategic Health Innovation Partnerships, a unit of the South African Medical Research Council, with funding from the Department of Science and Technology.
The Minister of Science and Technology, Mr. Derek Hanekom, commented: "This study highlights the importance of international scientific partnerships and the contributions of South African researchers to world-class medical science. The Department of Science and Technology is delighted to have contributed funds for this research. We are proud of the South African research team who conducted this ground-breaking study and thank the US partners for their collaboration and support."
The Minister of Health, Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, pointed out: "Since South Africa has the largest burden of HIV infection globally, we are gratified to see South African scientists, under Professor Abdool Karim's leadership, undertake this research to find solutions that will bring an end to AIDS. We are hopeful that this research takes us one step closer to developing an AIDS vaccine."

COVERT (WKZO) -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says inspectors at the Palasades Nuclear Plant have found multiple flaws around the reactor.
As they explain it, there are 45 control rods that lift and drop the nuclear fuel in and out of the reactor vessel. That is how the reactor is controlled.
Inspectors have found cracks and flaws in 17 of the 45 housing units that contain the lifting mechanisms.
The NRC's Viktoria Mitlyng says the plant is shut down for refueling and does not pose any immediate threat to the public.
She says the inspections were ordered because of a similar but more serious crack in 2012 that resulted in a leak that shut the plant down.
She says the housings on the lift mechanisms will have to be repaired or replaced before the reactor will be allowed to restart.
It's just the latest issue for the aging nuclear plant on the Lake Michigan Shore.

It has been three years since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed. Feel stimulated yet?
Three years later, the net change in jobs (since March 2009, through January 2012) is -428,000.
Last year, months after the recovery was to have taken hold, the economy created 1.8 million jobs. That might sound impressive if you don't follow the labor market closely, but at that rate — monthly job creation of 152,000 — we won't return to the previous employment peak of 146.6 million jobs until October 2014. That would be almost halfway through a second Obama term, and almost exactly seven years since that peak.
The unemployment rate, still well above the levels the Obama administration predicted when the stimulus was passed, has fallen in recent months in large part because between
3 million and 5 million Americans have grown discouraged and stopped looking for work. (The range owes to how retiring baby boomers are accounted for.) After rising for nearly six decades, the labor force participation rate in January was at a level not seen in that month since 1982. It has fallen 2 percentage points in Barack Obama's first three years in office, the largest such drop of any president since the federal government began keeping the statistic in 1948.
If the participation rate had only held steady, the unemployment rate would be about 11 percent, not the official rate of 8.3.
My guess is that the millions of Americans counted in the unemployment numbers, along with the millions who aren't, don't buy the "saved" part of the "saved or created" artifice. They're not fooled into thinking things are better than their circumstances demonstrate they are.
We've spent a lot of time in recent months talking about the flaws of the Republican candidates, and rightly so. But whenever that race wraps up, we'll hear plenty about the shortcomings of the Obama presidency. And the lackluster results of the stimulus will be one tough albatross for him to shed.

Considering the economy was shedding 750,000 jobs PER MONTH (multiply THAT by 36) when Obama took office, I would say that a net loss of 428,000 over three years is pretty damn good. What was the net loss/gain over the past two years, I wonder?
I know that I and many, many other people predicted a 8-10 year recovery time from the mess left by Republicans in Washington. That it could happen in only 6 years is nothing short of a miracle.

It has been three years since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed. Feel stimulated yet? Three years later, the net change in jobs (since March 2009, through January 2012) is -428,000.
The day that President Obama was inaugurated, our economy lost nearly 800,000 jobs in that month alone. Millions of jobs had already been lost, and given the depth of the recession, there was nothing any new president could do to prevent hundreds of thousands more being lost in the coming weeks.
Also, I don't recall the exact numbers, but it turned out that the economy had actually contracted three or four times more than economists knew at the time. The Obama administration had to work with the smaller, incorrect numbers that were available at the time.
Obama's policies slowed the boulder that was rolling down the hill, then stopped it, and have since been pushing the boulder back up the hill. Kyle blames the guy who hasn't pushed the boulder all the way back to the top of the hill instead of the guy who pushed the boulder down the hill in the first place (the guy who he voted for).
In fact, it was anti-regulation ideology that got us into this mess in the first place. So it's ironic that those who continue to maintain this failed ideology now complain that those who are tasked with cleaning up their mess aren't cleaning it up fast enough.

February 17th, 2012
10:58 am
Just think, we only need the participation rate to drop to about 55% (for those of you who recently went to public school that's a little more than HALF of the "eligible" work force working) by the fall to get the unemployment rate to about 7%-ish.

The highest monthly unemployment rate under Bush was 1/09 when he left office.
The lowest monthly unemployment rate under Obama was also 1/09 when he took office.
The unemployment rate under Obama has been higher every single month for 3 years than it was under Bush for 8 years.

A simple question: What evidence you have that the job situation would be better under a Republican Administration?
February 17th, 2012

My guess is that the millions of Americans counted in the unemployment numbers, along with the millions who aren't, don't buy the "saved" part of the "saved or created" artifice. They're not fooled into thinking things are better than their circumstances demonstrate they are.
The Republicans have balked at extending unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed throughout the recession and recovery. In fact, the compromise UI extension that came out yesterday was a compromise to reduce the length of UI benefits, as demanded by Republicans.
They've also been trying to bully the Fed into ignoring its legal mandate to limit unemployment. In addition, they're now trying to pass legislation to make the unemployed take drug tests, provide free labor in exchange for benefits,…
Republicans have essentially been demonizing the unemployed since the beginning of the recession while doing everything possible to block unemployment benefits . So, it's hard to buy this faux empathy for the unemployed when using them to criticize the Obama administration.
If so concerned about the unemployed, why not put people back to work fixing our crumbling infrastructure? Why do Republicans block up-and-down votes in the Senate to pass legislation that would do exactly that? We know why. Because, as far as Republicans politicians are concerned, the lower the unemployment rate, the worse it is for their election prospects.

Depending on who the Republican nominee is the election will still be about the "flaws of the Republican candidate".
By their run toward ideology Republican voters seem determined to give Obama another four years.
February 17th, 2012
11:37 am
There's another factor at work that doesn't show up in statistics. That's the number of people who now work part time instead of full time, because they've been cut back, those who have a job but don't make as much money as they use to. There's the people who work for temp agencies, which have exploded in the last couple of decades. Working class wages have been stagnant for about 30 years, in real dollars, and that downward pressure continues and will continue for the foreseeable future. Things aren't going to get any better for a long time, if they ever do.
We were sold out by the globalists and both parties were willing players in that transaction. They both point fingers and play the game but the joke is on us.

It does NOT matter what unemployment was when Bush left office.
Barack Obama declared that he could do BETTER than Bush and he has NOT done so. Not after THREE years.
The stimulus was the "magic wand" to bring higher employment. It has not worked even after several tries.
The only thing growing is the national debt. Every "stimulus" cost the USA more and more and that result is not good.
Stimulus=almost zero jobs! Stimulus = larger national debt. .
Conclusion: Obama leadership has proven itself ineffective. We need new leadership.

Kyle, not saying you're wrong (you may be 100% correct), but there's one thing your argument doesn't account for. We have no idea what would have happened without the stimulus. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing either.
For example, if I were to tell you that without the stimulus bill, unemployment (a totally misleading number I know) would be at 21%, maybe you'd have a different take. Unfortunately, we don't know what would have been.

IF, IF, IF the economic stimulus bill created or saved 3.3 million jobs, isn't that almost $250,000 per job? Could we have just written those job seekers/holders exactly than many checks for $50,000 each & saved the taxpayers $635 B or checks for $100,000 each & saved the taxpayers $315 B? Should we have left the almost trillion dollars in the economy & allowed the private market to work without government red tape & interference?
February 17th, 2012

The economy began to collapse when it became evident that leftists would control both Executive and Congress. And certainly the economic results have proven that businesses knew what they were doing when they began to cut back. With the prospective new business taxes from ObamaCare, and potential new regulation from a "consumer protection" agency not subject to Congressional oversight, why would anyone expand a business in the United States?
The disastrous "stimulus" wealth transfer from taxpayer to "friends of leftists" has left a precious few people in good fiscal shape, but at cost of a tremendous debt service requirement for the public for the foreseeable future. Government expansion is always the reciprocal of expansion in the private economy.

Georgia has collected more FDIC bank bailout money than any state in our nation. We lead the nation in bank failures. We have grown into a state noted for its embrace of low moral character. Georgia is near the top in unemployment, children in poverty, home foreclosures, obesity , % of children that never finish high school, lawmakers under indictment that will not resign , pill mills, illegal drug activity, etc..etc etc. …. and the only thing republiCons like Kyle are concerned with IS……………undermining the president ????? ……. The problems Georgians face can be linked to 9 years of using Johnny Reb Logic to run our GOP controlled state.

I have not forgotten the near hysteria in the fall of 2008 (Bush presidency) as the economy nearly collapsed. I have also seen with my own eyes the stimulus actually stimulating things. Sewer work was accelerated, transportation projects are breaking ground, teachers and cops were retained, etc. Republicans will hate the stimulus regardless of the facts. This has created employment in the short term, and at least some of these investments will create a healthy infrastructure for our long term economic future.

Dear Richard @ 11:47, until the Great Depression, government never attempted to "manage" a recession back to health. Until the Great Depression, no recession/depression ever lasted more than 18 months. While the current depression supposedly ended years ago – more below – the jobless recovery is a unique element, and a direct function of the legislation leftists enacted to "manage" the recovery.
Macro economic performance is conventionally measured by Gross Domestic Product, a formula that replaced the older, more traditional Gross National Product a couple of decades ago. The only meaningful difference between the two is that government expenditures are included in GDP and not in GNP, as if government spending has a consumer choice. Thus, if you wanted to give an illusion of GDP growth where there is truly none, you could theoretically pump up government spending to a level large enough to corrupt the traditional measure. And they did.

Texas had a worse recession in the 80s. It was estimated 1 in 4 people in Houston lost their job in 1986 alone. Unemployment rate was over 13%. Within 3 years, everything was back to normal. And there was no mutil-billion $ stimulus.
Obama doesn't even understand the cause of the recession. He blames it on Republican policies and tries to put the disastrous Carter administration poliicies back in place. Its a classic real estate recession. Yet he keeps trying to drag out the absorbption of the underwater mortgages which serves to drag out the recession. Millions are unemployed today simply because of his mouth. He constantly belly-ached for months about how bad things were and how they were going to get a whole lot worse. By destroying consumer confidence he personally caused unemployment. Bill Clinton had to finally tell him to just shut up about it (I sent him an e-mail the 1st week of his presidency telling him the same thing-in a nice manner-not that I thought anyone would pay attention). But he still doesn't get it. He started talking about fat cats going to Las Vegas and lots of people cancelled conventions. So Las Vegas, one of the worst hit cities, gets hit even worse because Obama still doesn't understand his job. He did the same thing to small aircraft manufacturers.
We've never had such a clueless president. He's hung up in his narcissism and pre-conceived class warfare notions.

Given that 8 years of Bush tax cuts created ZERO net jobs, I suppose you are opposed to keeping those as well Kyle, since we are trying to reduce the defict and all?

As Richard wrote, nobody knows what would have happened without the stimulus. Also, nobody can prove that the unemployment and economy would be any better if we had a different Administration. To calculate cost of the job created from the stimulus amount and the number of jobs saved or created is a completely ridiculous argument.

The only thing created by the economic stimulus bill was the Tea Party. Thousands of taxpayers could see the immediate future of America, i.e. that the cost of the bill would need to be repaid. Taxes would need to be raised for what was not paid for by printing money out of thin air.
Three years later, we have Occupy Anything & Everythingers who flit from tent to tent, park to bank to port to city hall, mad at everyone without a clue who to blame for what. The rest of the liberals can not relate that every resident is paying for the funny money (inflation) in the price of ground beef & milk & gas & blue jeans.
The Tea Party was astute & saved the country to a great degree in the 2010 elections.

Uh oh, from the Libs favorite source:
CBO: Real Unemployment is %15
"The Congressional Budget Office released a report Thursday that showed real unemployment in America at 15 percent for the month of January, a figure considerably higher than the White House's oft-cited 8.3 percent figure that does not include part-time workers seeking full-time work or those who have given up hope of finding a job altogether.
From the CBO:
'Many people would like to work but have not searched for a job in the past four weeks, or are working part-time but would prefer full-time work. If those people were counted among the unemployed, the unemployment rate in January 2012 would have been about 15 percent.'
Furthermore, the CBO reported that the "United States is experiencing the longest stretch of high unemployment since the Great Depression" with no end in sight through 2014.
Worse, the CBO reports that the ravages of the Obama Economy have created an unprecedentedly high rate of long-term unemployment, which the CBO defines as a person who has been seeking work for over 26 months.
'Over 40 percent of people who are currently unemployed have been out of work for more than half a year, as compared with about one-quarter during the 1981–1982 recession. The extent of long-term unemployment is much greater than would be expected on the basis of its historical relationship with the overall unemployment rate.'
That means that during the 1981-1982 recession President Ronald Reagan led America out of–which was the only other time in the post-World War II era that unemployment rose above 10 percent as it did in October 2009 under Barack Obama–long-term unemployment was 15 percent less than it presently is today under Barack Obama."

I have heard that when Obama is retired from politics, he is aspiring to become a general contractor, specializing in roof leaks, plumbing leaks & leaky basements.

Well the Republican House and the Democratic Senate have approved the "payroll tax bill" and sent it to the White House for signing into law. "The cost of the full package approved by the House… is roughly $143 billion." Most of it not paid for by offsetting spending cuts.
I guess we can call it a "stimulus" and that will make it OK.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The Lee County Sheriff's Office Crime Prevention Unit recently received an e-mail forwarded by a concerned resident who suspected the e-mail allegedly sent to him by the United States Postal Service was fictitious. The Sheriff's Office is warning you to beware of e-mails that appear to come from the USPS or other well-known shipping companies.
These bogus e-mails contain a link or attachment that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information from your PC. The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an attempted or intercepted package, online postage charges, erroneous addresses, or instructions on how to print your very own shipping label by clicking on a link or attachment. But don't do it! One click of the mouse and you could activate a virus that will steal your user name, password, financial account information and much more. Instead, delete the message and report these spam e-mails to email@example.com.
The U.S. Postal Service does offer consumers a way to create and print a mailing label online through Click-N-Ship, but you must go to their website at www.usps.com where you will be asked to sign-in or create an account using a user name and password. The fraudulent label looks very similar to the label offered on the USPS website, however, the incorrect grammar and spelling mistakes made it obvious the label was a fake.
You may also contact the Sheriff's Office Fraud Line at (239) 477-1242 and www.ic3.gov to report this or any other online scam or fraud. Media inquiries to (239)-477-1037.

I grew up in a place where most could argue successfully that a personal safety firearm was and still is unnecesary, however when the town I grew up in was mentioned in a major periodical as "the safest place to live in the state. Where people rarely lock their doors." Dad said, "Time to start locking our doors!" Before I moved to the beautiful state of FL I had never heard of a "home invasion" met anyone or knew of anyone that had been carjacked. Where I came from the crime is well organized and the high majority of criminals have no interest in "random" violence. (they're smart enough to know there's no $$$$ in it)
As a bouncer in FL I began to notice that people in the club were rather polite, the reality being that there were people around with guns and you didn't want to piss anyone off and get shot.
While coming home from my real estate job one day I may have (if I did I never even saw him) cut off this guy in an suv. At the next light he (50+ yrs old) jumped out, marched up to my car and began violently pulling my doorhandle & pounding on my window, acting like a complete maniac. I could see that he had a holstered firearm and that was when I went deaf. The top was flipped back on my Jeep and I realized that he could break the window, climb over the top of my car and start swatting me if he wished and draw and shoot me in an instant. My reaction was to loudly in a definite calm and dead serious voice tell this maniac that I was a LEO and that If he did not return to his vehicle he would force me to place him under arrest. He spit on my window shouted " *$%#@ Pig!" and returned to his vehicle. My bluff worked (i'm athletically built late 20's and most people assume I'm a policeman without knowing me) but after realizing the weight of the situation all I had to defend myself was my presentation and if need be my hands. This incident completely shook me.
I told my Dad the story & he told me that when he transferred down to warm sunny FL the company he worked for REQUIRED him to get his cwp and to carry on the job. Their rationale was that "anything can happen in the remote stretches of this great state and it's better to be well prepared than dead."
Thinking about the possibilities of meeting another embodiment of my "psychotic friend" if broken down on a remote FL road or late at night at a gas station made me decide that I'd rather have the best means of preservation at my full disposal in the moment of certain decision than not.
"Better to have and not need than to need and have not."

Talked about it because buying guns was getting to be a hassle. (Got 4 since my permit) The issue that put me over the edge was 1/2 mile away two guys killed the store owner and were hiding in my neighborhood. Now, I carry it always.

I was delivering Pizza and two guys attempted to strong arm rob me. I fought them off but decided to start carrying my Taurus CIA .38.
Two weeks or so later, two guys tried to rob me. One stuck a gun in my face. I shot him twice in the chest.
I don't know for sure, but I think it was the same two guys. I found out later their was another delivery driver who spent a couple weeks in intensive care because they beat him so badly.

WAY too many "close calls" with criminals and WAY too many reports of criminals shooting people in the LA area. Good think i decided to carry... first, the LA Riots hit... and then a week later i got shot at by a 16-17 year old kid (gang punk). Buuut... "lucky" for me i just happened to have a G20 on me. Guess who won?

I haven't read all 33 pages of this thread, so I'm sure someone has already said it. OBAMA & the liberals. That's why I bought my first gun and started to carry.

Death threat from a parolee who had a voluntary manslaughter charge because a former roommate of his stole a $2 hanes undershirt from him... Beat him to death with his bare hands. Spotted him at the park with my family before he spotted me and left... Thought later 'what would have happened to my family and I if he spotted me first?'

I got a CCW on the assumption that if I ever needed to carry, it would be a better idea to already have one rather than spending weeks getting one when I needed one now. I didn't use it. Then my elderly next door neighbor's son came to live with her. Convicted rapist about my age in his 50s who had managed to spend most of his life in jail with gang connections. There were always people over there. I'd hear conversations as they went by my place like "you got the bolt cutters?" So I started carrying. He went back to jail and she got foreclosed and life returned to normal but I kept carrying.

I grew up with a father that took me hunting and shooting, so guns have always been a part of my life.
Back in '04, after leaving an afternoon shift at the local auto plant, I was traveling the speed limit and had a vehicle riding close enough to my rear bumper that I could see the 4 teenagers inside with some resonable detail. I tried the "brake check" technique to get them to back off, but instead they followed me to my residential street. Instead of stopping at my home, I drive to the corner gas station. I tried to enter the station to call the police, but the 4 "boys" got out of their vehicle and the gas station clerk decided to lock me outside with them.
Now, I'm a relatively large guy, and I have plenty of martial arts training, but it did little good against 4 drunken teenagers. I was able to get plate # and descriptions of the 4, and they all paid for that night with some jail time, but it took me 12 weeks to fully recover from the incident. This was the point where I finally decided that I was going to get my CPL.
The event that SEALED the deal was when my wife announced a few months later that she was pregnant. I now had a MUCH more important reason to be sure that I was able to protect both myself, AND my family!!!
I now work in a profession that requires that I carry a sidearm, and train fairly regularly so that I am now much more comfortable with my weapons. I look forward to living to a ripe old age, and never having to fire my weapon for any reason other than target practice. However, I am confident that if anyone chooses to interfere with my plan, I will be able to react accordingly.
I was once asked the question, "Why do you need to carry a gun?"
My response was, "Love!! I love my family, I love my life, and I love my God!! It's my responsibility to protect the first, my desire to protect the second, and I'm in NO HURRY to meet the last!!" ~~ 'Nuff said!!!!!

The area I grew up in and lived in until about 12 years ago was great when I was a kid. Almost all single family neighborhoods, there were only 2 apartment complexes within 3 or 4 miles. There was hardly ever any crime except for a rare burglary, usually kids skipping school breaking in while people were at work. That slowly changed as more apartments were built. When we finally left, murders, rapes, burglaries and other crime had become commonplace. People walked up and down the streets all night carrying on. It got so I didn't even hear or pay attention to the noise any longer. That is until I found out that a woman I'd heard screaming in the middle of the night, and ignored because it was just "business as usual", was screaming because she was being raped in the woods behind our house. About that same time, my cousin was on his way to our house one evening and stopped at the Jiffy-Rip about a 1/4 mile up the road from us. As he pulled into a parking spot in front of the doors, a young kid came running out, he'd just robbed the store clerk of $60, and took a shot at my cousin. The bullet went through the windshield and lodged in the dashboard. Two inches higher and it would have hit my cousin right in the face. I'd carried for a while by this point but never bothered with a permit. A cop friend of mine finally convinced me to get one, just to cover my ass in case I had to use it.

After 20 years of active duty and 24 additional years as a civilian employee of the Navy (doing pretty much the same things I did on active duty), I almost felt naked without my Glock when I retired.
I attended the Florida conceled weapons course (with my wife) and was appropriately licensed (as was my wife).
I feel fully dressed again.

When I turned 18 my dad had me get my CHL, all it took was a trip the court house. A little reading later and it was just a logical decision to expand my permits and carry full time.

I have had many events in my life that made me always want to have a concealed carry license for protection. I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in the inner city. I remember our house was broken into when I was young, like maybe the 3rd or 4th grade. It was while my mom was dropping us off at school, so it had to have taken place within a 15 minute window. They kicked in the front door and went through what they could looking for goods. They found my mom's purse, some video games, and tried to take the tv but couldn't get the cables out. It's scary to know that it was most likely one of our neighbors that knew our schedule. If it wasn't, I don't know what would have happened had we been home...
I was also robbed several times when I was younger, and almost jumped plenty of times as well. Me and my friend had our phones stolen at gunpoint one night, one of the scariest times of my life. Another time my friends were hanging out (I was supposed to be with them but oddly work took a couple extra hours that night) and robbed at gunpoint by several masked hoodlums that pulled up in a car with a gun. They had their phones, keys, wallets, etc. taken, and it shook me up because I was supposed to be there (it was outside of my house).
Now I finally have the money to be able to afford a gun and practice. I took my CCW class and will be applying for my permit as soon as school slows down enough for me to do so.

I had my first CCW in the early eighties. After time I let it expire, due to having chidren in the home, good economy, very low crime in my area and so on.
Fast foward to the present ......... Now, my children have grown, the economy sucks, and criminals and punks seem to do as they please........
So ..... I now carry one of many handguns I've began to enjoy again, as a hobby, and more so as personal protection ....
I will not be victim .....

I applied for my permit within a week of shall issue going into effect where I lived. So my answer is passage of "shall issue." Since that time I have continually had a permit from my state of residency, often out of State permits as well.

Walmart parking lot Black Friday....
My wife and I were meeting up at Wal-mart, and as I arrived in the parking lot (from work) I noticed a car that had collided into a parked car. It had snowed so I thought man that sucks and started over to my wife's car which was heading in my direction. I had grabbed my coat, when i noticed the same car reverse it's course and then hit the gas and broadside a Cadillac. My wife hadn't noticed the car and started to walk out into the lot traffic after parking her car.
At this point I yelled at her to stop, and as she looked up the car was gunning it's engine and again was reversing straight for her.....I had closed most of the distance between myself and the deranged driver, and my wife, then drew down on the lunatic. My wife had managed to get out of the way, and as the driver turned towards me and noticed the Springfield XDM .40 pointed at him with firm orders to stop the car, he bailed out of the car. The car started rolling forward and came to a rest against a Ford pick-up F250. The driver however managed to flee, and after the Police arrived had determined that the car had been stolen. I relayed to the police that when the driver first noticed me it seemed that his intention was to run me down, then he noticed the gun....The police took more information from witnesses, and thanked me for saving lives. First however I had to wait to receive my gun back after they watched the surviellance tapes. I couldn't even imagine what could of happened if my wife had the kids with her. God protects us by putting guns in good peoples hands.

Multi-state ccw permits
I now have an Idaho CCL and an Oregon CCL. Thinking about a Utah CWP, which covers about 33 states plus the other two CCL's. With an Oregon CCL I don't actually need an Idaho CCL other than to forego the background check in Idaho.

My defining moment, was when a couple of guys tried to kick the door in into my home from the back master bedroom with me and my young wife (we were newlyweds) the only thing that made them run like hell was the sound of the rifle being racked.

When the clock hits 5pm are you packing up to head home or are you still immersed in work? If you're having trouble leaving work on time we're here to help.
Prioritize an Exit Strategy: For starters, make heading home at 5pm, or an appropriate quitting time, a priority. It's hard to meet a goal that you haven't set, so pick a time and stick to it.
Focus, Focus Focus: If you're tired of late hours, be sure to manage your time well during the day. Even the most motivated amongst us will admit to time spent slacking. Read our tips for time-blocking to use your time more efficiently.
Say No to Guilt: Don't feel guilty about leaving work on time. If your co-workers are still at their desks, it's easy to feel embarrassed about heading out. Don't. You may be a more efficient or focused worker than your peers. As long as your work isn't being shortchanged, leaving on time is okay.
Say Farewell to Face Time: Some office cultures unwittingly encourage or reward "face time" making it harder to head home at a reasonable hour. If this is a problem, take time to talk with your boss or co-workers to explain (and demonstrate) that your time in the office is highly-focused and productive. Justifying how efficiently you use your time makes it easier to head for the door.
Spread the Load: If you are burning the midnight oil because you genuinely have an overwhelming amount of work to do, it's time to talk to your boss about redistributing the load. Before you do so, take a few weeks to keep track of how you are spending your hours so your boss can understand the scope of the work and the time its taking. This will help both of you assess how to redistribute load.
Start Small: If heading out the door at a set time every day is a big mountain to climb, start small. Shoot to leave work by 5 or 6pm one night a week and then add a day at a time.
Have a Plan B: When all else fails, plan to finish work from home. While bringing work home isn't ideal, sometimes you just want to put the kids to bed or meet a friend for dinner. So head out the door to attend to your personal needs and commit to wrapping up the remaining work at home.
Do you have trouble leaving work on time? What are your tips for heading out the door at a reasonable hour? Share your thoughts here and on the Beyond Folders Community's Facebook page.

You really saved my skin with this inofrmtaion. Thanks!
So much info in so few words. Toolsty could learn a lot.
1sKSjJ I`m so grateful that you enlightened me and the most important thing that it happened in time. Just think, I have been using the internet for six years already but it`s the first time I`ve ever heard about it!...
Iv3bEI Thanks-a-mundo for the blog article.Much thanks again. Fantastic.
on4Hn8 Hey, thanks for the blog post. Want more.
It's perfect time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I've read this post and if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read even more things about it!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Cost-free Proxy Servers are employed for anonymous searching. Most prevalent use of cost-free proxy server is to bypass the university/office or any other place's safety constraints and access unrestricted internet sites. But <a href=scrapeboxfaq.com/where-can-i-get-scrapebox-shared-proxies>Scrapebox proxies New IP Now </a> servers should be employed with caution. If used without protection steps, it can result in huge loss as compared to benefit of searching the world wide web anonymously. There are two techniques by way of which you can disguise your identification (your IP handle) when surfing the net. First and the most cheap way is to use free proxy server. There are several windows and linux proxy websites available on the net which lets you use their companies totally free of cost. The other choice for hiding your id is to use paid out software. The IP hiding software, adjustments your IP tackle continually to allow you browse internet anonymously.
There are few important issues you need to have to hold in thoughts when utilizing free proxy servers.
one.) Observe out for your protection
Do not give out any delicate data this sort of as your login details or credit card info when making use of distinct proxy servers since when you use free proxy server, all the information you offer on any site is first sent to cost-free proxy server and then to the internet site server. So all the details go through the totally free proxy server and most of the time it is unencrypted, exposing your delicate details for prospective misuse.
Paid software are significantly far better in terms and conditions of safety. There systems are created to conceal your IP and then discard all your info with no any human involvement.
2.) Security and Availability
There are several free proxy server sites but most of them are not secure and are not obtainable every time you pay a visit to them. This dilemma is not really considerable with compensated application.
three.) Velocity of Searching
When you use any proxy server for hiding your IP, you can feel the slow pace of browsing instantaneously. However there are very good internet sites available for anonymous browsing but they are really tough to discover. Also, speed is not constant it is dependent largely on load on their servers. At occasions you do get excellent searching speed but it's not consistent. Yet again, paid out computer software for hiding IP are much far better at browsing velocity. As they charge for their services, they make sure that the person experience is greater and you do not get slow speed although searching the world wide web through their software program.
They are also excellent when you discover a high quality 1 that masks your place of origin. When seeking for a On the web Proxy make positive it has Java put in so you can watch films. As you can at times have your place of origin cloaked but if java does not perform it is not considerably use.

Showcase: Sophia Lee - How the Budget 2012 will impact your business?
We may all have heard about it. After some initial reactions, what happened next? For some, probably nothing much; they just carry on with their daily routine without giving any further thoughts to it. For others, they may be have signed up to attend one of the many paid seminars to learn how they can benefit from it. I'm referring to "Budget 2012". How will it impact your business? What can you take advantage of?
Come for the free overview of the key corporate tax changes announced in Budget 2012. The knowledge will place them in an advantageous position to achieve effective tax savings. Every dollar saved is a dollar more that can be ploughed back into the business.
The following groups can certainly benefit from this presentation:
- Companies interested in reducing their tax expense legally
- Businesses (sole-proprietors, partnerships) who wants to gain a better understanding as to whether 'corporatizing their businesses' in the light of the tax regime makes sense
- Suppliers and service providers who wish to be better armed with some tax knowledge to help their clients turn their expenses into tax savings

DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Injured Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose is "not quite" ready to return from his knee injury, coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday.
The 2011 NBA MVP continues to practice without restrictions, but his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee remains up in the air.
"He's been cleared to do everything there is," Thibodeau said before the Bulls hosted the Utah Jazz at the United Center. "Before he makes the final step, everyone has to get together and sign off. That hasn't happened yet. The most important part of this is that we have to trust Derrick, and I trust him."
ESPNChicago.com reported Friday that Rose's doctor has cleared him to play, but he has told the team he won't until he can dunk with confidence off his left foot. Thibodeau said a decision "hasn't been finalized yet."
Thibdodeau was noncommittal when asked if he expects Rose to play this season, saying the Bulls are prepared either way.
"I just want him to do what he has been doing, which is put everything you have into each day," he said. "He's practiced well. He's got to keep doing it, and when he goes, he goes. We can't wait on him. We have to find ways to win now. Hopefully, at some point, he'll be ready to go. He's put a lot of work in. No one wants to play more than he does. We have to trust him."
Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in last year's playoff-opener against Philadelphia, sending the top-seeded Bulls toward a first-round exit, and his recovery has been an ongoing soap opera, particularly in recent weeks.
He first said in an interview with USA Today in February that he was "far away, far away" from being ready, then told a group of reporters that he won't rush back just to play this season if he isn't ready.
Rose then began participating in five-on-five drills in practice and sitting on the bench during games. But his reputation took a hit when his older brother Reggie ripped the Bulls in an interview with ESPNChicago.com, saying the team's decision to stand pat at the trade deadline could be a "big factor" in whether Derrick returns this season.
Rose obviously has to feel comfortable that he's ready to return, but the decision is not his alone.
"There's a lot of people that have to decide," Thibodeau said. "Obviously, he's the most important piece. From (chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf) on down, everyone has to sign off on it."
Without Rose, the Bulls were sixth in the Eastern Conference at 34-27 heading into Friday's game against Utah. They were also missing several other key players, with Thibodeau saying Taj Gibson (knee), Kirk Hinrich (foot) and Richard Hamilton (back) would not play against the Jazz.
As for Rose's return, the wait continues.
"There are a lot of kids out there that would love to see Derrick Rose come back and play," teammate Nate Robinson said. "He's a role model. Everybody looks up to him, including my kids. My son asks every day, 'Dad, when's Derrick coming back?' I'm like, 'I don't know.' It's funny. Derrick's sitting right next to me on the flight, so when I Skype my son, I take a little peek. He's like, 'There he is, let me talk to him.' I'm like, 'You can't talk to him, just let him be.' But (Rose) is working extremely hard, and that's one thing I definitely respect about him. He's very humble and he works extremely hard in the game that he loves."
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

SPOKANE--For many people in the Spokane area, Bloomsday is a tradition that involves their family and friends. One Spokane family's Bloomsday shirt collection is catching the eye of many of their neighbors on the South Hill.
Mike Dix has been running in Bloomsday since he was in 1st grade back in the mid-80's and every year he looks forward to picking up his t-shirt after finishing the race.
The race is a family affair with everyone participating in some way. Mike's mom ran in the first race in the late 70s.
Dix says every year he and his family try to guess what color the t-shirt is going to be. Every year Mike would bet on yellow and every year he'd be wrong.
He's reminded of all those years he was wrong because his family puts the shirts on display along their fence. The collection starts on one end of the fence and keeps going around the side towards their neighbor's house.
The shirts were finally the color yellow in 2011; the one year Mike couldn't run in the race because of knee surgery.
Based on what's missing from the shirt collection, Mike thinks this year's color will be pink.

God Works in Mysterious Ways
>> Sunday, June 7, 2009
Some food for thought I picked up from the movie Evan Almighty.
If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives him patience? Or does he give him the opportunity to be patient?
If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?
If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
How do we change the world?
One single act of random kindness at a time.

Large or small, or very big indeed… Disney have lots of gift ideas for children and babies this Christmas
For the pure pleasure of cuddles or the creativity of imaginative play, there are some great ideas at Disney this Christmas. Up until December 20, you can buy online, or check out one of their 56 stores around the country…
Big cuddles
The Super Giant Cuddly Eeyore is enormous – he'd fill your baby's cot! – but he's a wonderful landmark first birthday present, or a Christmas gift for a toddler or pre-teen who still enjoys a good snuggle. He is £100.
Imagining your own world
You can't go wrong with a play teaset or a cash register – tea time and shopping are big parts of a child's life!
The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Teapot is colourful, in durable plastic, and consists of four place settings with beaker and saucer, plate, knife, fork and spoon, a teapot and playcake. Suitable from three years of age, £10.
The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cash Register comes with play money, groceries, shopping basket, conveyer belt and a scanner, for a complete retail therapy experience! Suitable from three years, £12.
Toys for boys
Not surprisingly, you'll find a good supply of fairy costumes and princess toys at Disney this Christmas, but if you're looking for something more rugged, try the Mack Transporter from the film, 'Cars'. This carrier/truck comes with 15 Die-Cast cars, each a character from the movie. Suitable from three years, £40.
Finishing touches
Disney have lots of cute little stocking fillers… and even the stocking itself, £10! This soft, Winnie the Pooh stocking can be personalised for an extra £3.
