About Our Modern Technology Worksheets
The extent to which you cover this topic in your course will depend a lot on your students. If you are teaching at a school with limited resources where none of your students have cell phones or personal computers, some basic vocabulary will probably be sufficient while if these things play a pivotal role in the lives of your students, they will be of more importance. You can talk about the amount of time students spend using different pieces of technology with any level learner and should consider asking advanced students to explain both the advantages and disadvantages of technological advances.

It is the responsibility of the Hernando County Tax Collector to collect the myriad of taxes and fees imposed by all governmental units. The nature of the office under Florida's constitution and statutory system is two-fold: independent election; and budgetary review by the state. The Tax Collector deals with many state agencies, all local governments and all taxpayers within the county.
The revenue funding the office of the Tax Collector comes from state agency licensure through the charge of basic fees; the contract-based charging of certain fees or commissions between the Tax Collector and various local governments regarding special services; and statutory based commissions for collecting property taxes and some non-property assessments.
In addition to ad valorem property taxes, the Tax Collector also bills and collects special assessments generated by almost 100 municipal service benefit units for improvements such as street lighting, road paving, fire protection, subdivision maintenance, etc.
The Tax Collector's office, as well as numerous subagent businesses, sell hunting and fishing licenses.

Read an Excerpt
Dead LiftAn Emily Locke Mystery
By Rachel Brady
Poisoned Pen PressCopyright © 2010 Rachel Brady
All right reserved.
Chapter OneClaire Gaston's amber hair rode flat against her head, giving the impression she'd just climbed out of bed. Any make-up had worn away too, yet she still looked closer to forty than her real age—which I knew from her file was fifty-three. In any case, Claire was twenty years my senior, had spent a day and a night in the clink, and still looked better than I did after a comfortable night of sleep and a shower.
We picked up telephone handsets on either side of an opaque window in the jail's visitation room, and I tried to ascertain whether she regarded me with hope or just curiosity.
"I'm Emily Locke," I said, "part of your defense team." I smiled, trying to convey that I withheld judgment, even though I wasn't sure that was true. "Sorry about the circumstances."
She leaned forward and rested her elbows on a countertop that extended away from the dividing window. Richard Cole, the private investigator I worked for, often said that it was a good practice to mirror a subject's body language during interviews, so I did. My forearms ended up in something sticky.
"Are you the investigator my lawyer hired?"
"I'm that investigator's lackey."
She tipped her chin up but didn't speak.
"Hope you don't mind." I pulled a folded paper from my purse. "I brought a list of things to clarify. My boss is painfully deficient with specifics."
"What every woman looks for in an investigator."
"Actually, he's very good. We just work differently."
Claire surveyed the tiny countertop on her side of the glass and brushed invisible debris onto the floor. "Ask away."
"Let's start with your kids."
She inhaled and seemed to hold the breath. "They're all I think about."
"Who's keeping them?"
"My parents." Her gaze fell. "Even though they're too old to be caring for kids." She traced imaginary shapes on the countertop with neatly manicured fingers that reminded me of my best friend Jeannie's hands. "You probably know I'm in the middle of a divorce."
She glanced up long enough to see me nod.
"Daniel's not their father. My second husband, Ruben, moved back to Argentina last year. Our custody fight was ... I'm ashamed of it. And now with me here—" she looked around our tiny, divided cubicle—"he'll come back and take them away, I know it. I didn't kill Wendell Platt. You have to help me prove it before Ruben swoops in and disappears with the boys."
"It would help me to understand what's going on with Daniel."
Claire leaned back and crossed her arms. Richard would have said I'd put her on the defensive.
"What does he have to do with this?"
I cupped my chin in my hands and watched her for a moment, trying to figure out if she was angry. "Police are reconstructing your day on Thursday, trying to figure out where you went and what you did before Dr. Platt's murder. I hear you and Daniel had quite a fight."
She straightened and opened her mouth to argue, but I raised a hand and continued. "We've all said things we didn't mean, don't worry. The trouble's that the police want to interview Daniel but can't find him. You were the last person to see him and witnesses say you were enraged. It doesn't help to have extra suspicion directed at you."
"No one can find Daniel?"
I shook my head. "Know where he might be?"
She shook her head in return.
"Why the divorce?"
Her shoulders relaxed, like she was resigned to surrender her privacy as well as her marriage.
"Neither of us could be faithful."
My stomach flip-flopped, but I stayed quiet. Richard said sometimes people will volunteer extra information if you give them a chance.
This didn't turn out to be true for Claire. After a few moments, I asked her to continue.
"It's complicated," she said. "For years we've talked about parting ways. Last month I finally filed."
"What was your relationship with Platt?"
Claire shook her head, more to herself than to me, and screwed her face into a queer sort of smile that could only be described as sarcastic. I was considering how to rephrase when she surged toward the glass and banged it with her fist, sending me back in my chair so violently its legs scraped the linoleum.
"I've never met Wendell fucking Platt!"
All I could do was try to control my breathing.
"Never met him," she said. "No one believes me."
She settled back into her chair and I tried to convince myself that the person in front of me was the same woman from thirty seconds ago.
"He was murdered in his home," I said. "Your fingerprints were at the scene."
"Worse, honey. They were on the weapon."
Perhaps reading my incredulity, she added, "Don't tell me. Your boss left that out."
"How do you explain your prints on the weapon?"
She squinted at me and the vibe I got was borderline venomous. "That's what I'm paying you to do."
I pressed my fingertips to my temples. "If you never met him, I assume you were never in his house?"
She combed her fingers through her hair so severely I thought she might yank out a fistful of highlights. "I already told all this to Mick Young."
The name elicited a visceral adrenaline surge—the kind brought on when something's wildly wrong.
I made a point to keep my tone calm. "You're represented by Brighton and Young?"
She looked at me quizzically. "Of course."
That explained why Richard had been sketchy about her case. His omissions made me look like an idiot, so now I was doubly miffed. But nothing good would come of showing that to the client, so I pushed it aside and put on my best professional show.
"I apologize for the lack of communication in my office," I said. "Your case is important to me and I want to get the facts straight. Please tell me about Thursday, starting from the beginning."
She regarded me for a drawn out interval and I felt the discomfort of being on the receiving end of a silent stare.
"Do you have kids, Emily?" she finally asked.
If she did kill Platt, I certainly didn't want her to know about Annette.
But then she added, more gently. "I need to know. Please."
"Why does that matter?"
"Because I didn't kill anyone. And if Young can't prove I'm innocent, my kids will go to a man who shouldn't have them. Ruben isn't capable of putting the boys' needs in front of his own. It's terrifying to imagine and hard to explain to someone who's not a parent."
Her fears resonated with me, but I wasn't ready to share that. "Tell me about Thursday."
She tucked her hair behind an ear and edged forward, resting a forearm on the little countertop again. I promised myself I wouldn't flinch if she had another outburst.
"Thursday I got a tip about a dog and went to check it out."
Before I could ask, she added, "I'm in an animal rescue group."
Claire seemed more likely to wear an animal than rescue one. I wondered what else about her I might have misjudged.
"When I got to the address, something was off."
I tried to conjure the image of Claire skulking into bad neighborhoods, retrieving mutts. Pet rescuing sounded like a dirty, hands-on job, ill-suited for her.
"Most of our rescues are from poor, rundown areas. The address for this dog was in the Heights."
That was weird. Houston Heights, better known as simply the "Heights," was a quaint, historical community in north central Houston. Noted for meticulously maintained period architecture and its artist community, it didn't seem the place one would expect neglected pets.
"I knocked, but no one answered the door."
I wondered what she might have said if someone had. Hi. I heard you're mean to your dog so I'm here to take it away?
"I looked through the windows and didn't see anyone so I went around back. There was one of those wooden privacy fences. I went through the gate. It wasn't the backyard of someone who can't afford to feed a dog, believe me. But I thought there was a hurt animal inside so I had to check anyway."
"You broke in?"
"I didn't have to. The back door was open a smidge. I knocked and shouted inside, but no one answered. I whistled for a dog, but none came. I should have stopped there."
You should have stopped at the gate.
"But I went into the kitchen and called for the dog again. When I didn't see signs of one, I left."
"That's why your prints were at the scene."
"Front door, back door, and windows." She considered. "And countertops, I guess."
"They ID'd you pretty fast. You have a record?"
Claire shook her head. "When my boys were little, I worked at their elementary school. They fingerprinted everyone they hired."
That made sense. She'd still be in the system.
"So what do you think happened? You think Platt was already dead in the house when you showed up?"
"I think it happened after I left."
"Because I don't think he had a dog."
"Somebody went to a lot of trouble set me up."
I thought of my friend Jeannie again. She'd have loved the element of scandal.
Claire continued. "I got summoned to a rescue and when I got there, there were no signs of a dog—no poop in the backyard, no bowls on the floor. My fingerprints were on the inside and outside of the house and even on the screwdriver lodged in his trachea—a tool that came from my own garage."
Inwardly, I winced. The bit about the screwdriver was news to me, but I didn't dare show it.
"So I asked myself ... who hates me enough to go to all the trouble? Don't get me wrong. Plenty of folks would leave me off their dinner party lists, but it would take real hate to pin something like this on a person. And I keep coming back to Diana King."
"Who's she?" I'd been tailing Socialite Diana around Houston for two days, but Claire didn't know that. "What's your relationship with her?"
Claire pursed her lips and gazed upward as she considered how to answer.
"The better question is what's my relationship with her husband."
I blinked. "Oh."
"Chris did a lot for me last year. We developed a comfortable rapport that developed into friendship and eventually," she shrugged, "an affair."
I leaned forward again, into the same sticky residue I'd forgotten was on the damn counter. "What does that mean, 'did a lot for you'?"
She touched her nose and forehead, then counted silently on her fingers. "Nose, brow, boobs, thighs, ass."
"Excuse me?"
"He was my surgeon."
I nodded, buying myself a moment to let the new information gel.
"So you think Diana King has framed you for a murder as revenge for your affair with her husband."
"Why not just kill you?"
Claire moved her mouth into a peculiar combination of a pout and a snarl. I got the impression she'd never considered the question. She shook her head by way of response.
"Do you know a reason Diana King would want Platt dead?"
"Then I agree with you. This set-up was an awful lot of trouble and risky too. Maybe we should think about who else wanted Platt dead and you in trouble."
"It was Diana."
"I'm only saying—"
"That tip about the dog came on an anonymous note in my gym locker. I belong to a private club. It'd be hard for anyone but a member to leave a note that way."
Her mind was made up.
"You still have the note?"
She shook her head. "The police asked me that too. I remember putting it on my kitchen counter, but after that, who knows. Maybe the cleaning lady tossed it."
After a bit, I thanked her for her time and left.
Claire's interview raised more questions than it answered and my mind was busy sorting and filing critical pieces. One nugget had me hot for an explanation, and it had nothing to do with finding Platt's killer. I dropped into the driver's seat of my now hundred-and-twenty degree car and headed for Richard's office so we could talk about Mick Young.
Chapter TwoMore hurt than angry, I slumped into a visitor's chair across from Richard's desk, my keys still in hand. "You didn't tell me who we were working for."
Richard looked over the rim of his coffee mug and paused mid-sip. Even behind his spectacles, the dull shadows beneath his eyes were unmistakable. He set down the cup, rolled away from his computer monitor, and made no excuses. "It's not relevant."
"It's relevant to me."
He glanced at a picture on the corner of his desk. If I hadn't been so focused on his eyes, I'd have missed it.
"Linda wanted you to tell me, didn't she?"
His silence said it all.
"Smart men listen to their wives." I turned my keys, one at a time, around the circumference of my key ring, listening for the metallic clink as each landed on its neighbor.
Richard removed his cheater glasses and dropped them into his shirt pocket. "Unlike Tone Zone," he said, with obvious distaste for the health club we'd been watching, "I can't afford to turn away business. I considered telling you. Decided it would cloud your judgment."
Morning sun was bright behind him and his tired eyes and graying hair phased in and out of focus depending on which way I leaned.
"My judgment's clouded more because you lied."
Only months ago, Mick Young had defended the people responsible for destroying my family.
Richard took a breath as if to say something, then let the thought pass.
"I interviewed Claire this morning and looked like a fool because you didn't tell me."
"You were supposed to keep tabs on Diana King," he said. "Leave Claire to me."
"I wanted to form my own opinion about her."
"That's irrelevant. Diana's your assignment."
"My impression's relevant if I'm going to invest personally in this case, Richard. That's the difference between you and me." I rose and strode toward the door.
"Don't judge Claire based on Young's other clients," he said to my back.
I spun to face him. "You don't get to decide what I can handle."
"Look how upset it made you!"
"This isn't about Young. It's about you not trusting me. Underestimating me. Being a jerk."
He stood. "It's not about Young?" The words sounded more like a challenge than a question.
"I don't care what you believe. You're not my shrink and you're not my father. And effective immediately, you're not my boss anymore either. Find somebody else to insult and psychoanalyze."
I turned and walked away.
"Come back," he said behind me. "Let's finish this."
I didn't stop to answer, just shoved open the door and left, taking all my irrelevant opinions and unfounded overreactions with me.
* * *
I did something new on my drive home—turned off my radio. So much noise was in my head that I couldn't stand anymore. Mick Young had recently defended murderers, kidnappers, and world class racketeers and, as far as I was concerned, that made him unconscionable. By association, I brooded over what that implied about the character of his newest client.
For all I knew, Young himself might even be part of the same criminal ring—still at large—that he'd recently tried to help. The FBI had chased that group for years and was still after its splinter groups today. I knew firsthand that its members were steeply networked into all sorts of professions. Having an attorney in the mix certainly couldn't hurt.
No, I told myself. Everybody who came in contact with that group was not necessarily linked to it. I forced the idea aside.
Shortly before eleven, I let myself into my apartment, half expecting Jeannie to be nestled in Annette's pink princess bed where I'd left her two hours ago. Instead she was unpacking shopping bags strewn across the sofa and loveseat, her suitcase open at her feet. I smelled toast and coffee.
"I meant to shop for your birthday," she said, "But I ended up shopping for myself. Happens."
She removed a cashmere sweater from a bag, folded it neatly, and added it to a stack of other new merchandise in her now very-full bag on wheels. "Saved you some brunch though."
I looked over her new clothes. "You got an early start."
"The boutiques were calling me."
I dropped my generic purse on the coffee table next to her Louis Vuitton tote. Unbuttoning my sleeveless blouse, I headed for the hall. "I need a run to clear my head."
"Silly girl," she said. "Coffee clears your head, not exercise."
When I didn't answer, she followed me into my bedroom. "If you're going to run, you might as well do it at that fancy club, right? Get the 4-1-1 on Diana King?"
I pulled on a dirty pair of shorts and an ancient tank top. "I'm not in the mood for your jokes."
Claire's and Diana's hoity-toity, women's only gym had denied my membership request on the spot. When I'd tried to join, the front desk attendant, Starr, took a little too much pleasure in explaining that membership was by invitation only. Her sideways glances at my clothes and hair translated the euphemism for me: I wasn't rich or pretty enough.
Jeannie disappeared for a moment and returned with a luxurious envelope. She extracted the card inside and presented it with a flourish. Pressed flowers adorned the paper, through which a sheer ribbon had been woven. It looked like a wedding invitation.
I read its message, incredulous. "They let you in?"
"Of course. And now you'll be my guest. Happy?" Her self-indulgent smile said she certainly was.
"No," I said. "I'm pissed."
"We have appointments at one."
She vanished into the hallway.
I knelt on the floor and reached under my bed for a stray running shoe. Behind it I found an abandoned bowl of goldfish crackers and a cow flashlight that mooed when I grabbed it. "What kind of appointments?"

My application permanently receives memory warnings and I really cannot find what is causing it. I was getting a major leak even if I was stripping the app to the bare minimum. So what I thought was to compile the default HelloWorld_IPhone app from the monotouch examples and see whether I get the same leak. It turns out I do. Really confusing me.
The leak appears just after the app launches (red bar is filling the whole column).
leaked object: Malloc 16 Bytes, Responsible Library: HelloWorld_IPhone, responsible frame: mono_dl_open
My question is whether this is normal or whether I am missing something?
EDIT: Screenshot of Instruments output when running TweetStation app on my device in debug mode! Same results as my app. Surely something not right here? Screenshot of Instruments output when running TweetStation app on my device

A teenage boy shot his buddy in the wrist last night in Mantua but police and family members say it was accidental.
The boys, 14 and 12, were playing in a lot on Brown Street near Union when the older boy shot his friend at 7:50 p.m.
The wounded boy, identified by a neighbor as Douglas Carrol, was reported in stable condition at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The two boys live across the street from each other and neighbors said they often play football in the lot.

Organic Blueberries
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
Organic Blueberries are in peak season from local harvests in New Jersey, plus from Oregon and Washington!
Expect plump, flavorful and sweet Blueberries that are large in size. The fruit coming off the bushes in early July for mid-July sales in stores is tasting outstanding based on the samples I've had. Also expect affordable pricing on 6oz packs and pint packs (11oz) – some of the best values of the year on Organic Blueberries.
Whether you're a fan of Blueberries for health, snacking, baking or flavor reasons – it's your time to enjoy! I love to much on them by the handful eat them on cereal or blend them into smoothies.
Blueberry Tips
- Select fresh Blueberries by inspecting the top and bottom of the package to avoid shriveled, smashed-together or wet berries.
- Look for packs free from light purple or green berries. Those are immature and will taste sour.
- Seek out Blueberries with the silver, powdery "bloom" on them. Bloom is a naturally occurring wax that forms a protective layer on the fruit while it is growing and is a tell-tale sign of freshness!
- Store the fruit cold in the fridge, try to use in within a few days of purchase. Wait to wash them until just before using.
How To FreezeWant to capture the best pricing and best tasting fruit for later? Freeze peak season Blueberries right in the package you bought them in. Be sure they're completely dry (you can rinse them before use later), place the pack(s) right into a reseal-able plastic bag and freeze. They keep well in the freezer for up to six months and are a convenient way to have healthy, peak season flavor Blueberries handy for baking or to use in smoothies and shakes later in the year.

Organic Yellow Peaches
Peak Season Best Flavor
Here in early July, some of the Peaches on organic produce department shelves will still be "cling-stone" varieties, meaning the flesh does not easily pull away from the pit, so you'll have to cut slices off the sides or wedges off the pit. But by mid to late July most of the Yellow and White Peaches you'll find will be the summer varieties that are "free-stone", allowing you to slice the peach around the pit, give it a twist and the fruit comes right off the stone.
Organic Yellow Peaches from California are in season and tasting good. For juicer, sweeter eating experience allow Yellow Peaches to soften at room temperature until they give slightly to a gentle squeeze in your palm.
Organic White-flesh Peach varieties are low in acid so the natural sugar comes through in the flavor from the moment they are picked. Firm and crunchy White Peaches are sweet and tasty! Ripened White Peaches will stay just as sweet but become soft and juicy.
Peach TipsCHOOSING:
- Select Peaches that feel heavy. Avoid Peaches with wrinkled skin, large bruises or soft spots.
- Color? The amount of redness on the skin can vary from variety to variety and is not a true indicator of ripeness, but greenish areas on the skin are a sign of immaturity.
- Yellow-flesh Peaches must ripen at room temperature to allow the acidity to mellow and the sweetness to shine through creating a balanced sweet and tangy taste. A ripe Yellow Peach will give just slightly to a gentle squeeze in the palm of your hand.
- White-flesh Peaches are low-acid and can be eaten when hard or soft.
- Store Peaches at room temperature to allow them to get to the softness you desire for your eating preference.
- Impatient? Have some Peaches that are too hard? Place them in a paper bag to speed up ripening.
- Not ready to use your ripened Peaches? They will hold at that stage for a 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator.
Find Peach Recipe ideas here.
Recipe: Grilled Peaches
- Pre-heat grill to high
- Halve Peaches and remove the pit
- Spray or brush on a light amount of Olive Oil on each side of the Peaches
- Reduce grill heat to medium-high
- Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, flesh side first
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, garnish with mint

Organic Cherries
Peak Season Best Flavor
Organic Dark Sweet Cherries from the Pacific Northwest have had rich and deep, sweet Cherry flavor. Growers are now shipping some big Cherries. The Organic Rainier Cherries will wrap up by mid-July, but the last of the season fruit on this white-fleshed variety is tasting super-sweet! – so good you'll want more!
Cherry Tips
- Selecting: Carefully inspect all sides of the Cherry packages to avoid wetness or splits. If the Cherries are in a bag, give a couple a gentle squeeze – you'll want them to feel firm, not spongy or soft.
- Storage: Keep Cherries cold in the fridge and use them within a few days of purchase for the best texture. Rinse Cherries just before use and put whatever you don't eat back in the refrigerator.
- Sticker-shock? Even during peak season, even on sale Organic Cherries can surprise you at the register, so buy smart. Remember, small cherry bags weigh about 1.25lb and the average random-weight bag or pouch on display weighs about 2.2lb. Bagged Cherries are sold by the pound, so do the math or check a scale to know about what you're going to pay in total.
Beyond Snacking
- Freezing: Peak season Cherries can be washed, then frozen with the stems still on in plastic bags with the air removed, then thawed in the refrigerator up to three months later for a convenient snack.
- Canning: Into preserving the season's best? Check out this great site dedicated to stone fruit canning.
- Recipes Ideas: From desserts to salads to drinks, find in-season Cherry Recipe inspiration here.
- Health & Nutrition: Learn how Cherries may impact Inflammation, Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes and Cancer here.
Carefully inspect all sides of the Cherry packages to avoid wetness or splits. If the Cherries are in a bag, give a couple a gentle squeeze – you'll want them to feel firm, not spongy or soft.
Organic Plums
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
Organic Pluots, delicious hybrid crossings between Plums and Apricots, will soon be at their best during mid-to-late July and August.
Plum Tips
- How do you find a good Plum? Select Organic Plums that feel firm. Plums that are very hard may need a little time to ripen or soften at room temperature. Avoid Plums with soft spots or that feel squishy – a sign of age or over-ripeness. It doesn't hurt to ask the produce manager for a sample either.
- Store Plums you plan to eat soon at room temperature for a day. You can eat them firm but just a little give is ideal for a juicy-sweet eating experience. Once at that stage you can get another couple days out of them in the fridge.
- What is that powder-like film on the skin? It's called "bloom." Bloom is a natural, protective wax that forms on the fruit as it grows on the tree. When you rub a Plum or Pluot it gets it's shine from the bloom.

Skip to comments.The great gun control fizzle
Posted on 04/04/2013 2:56:40 PM PDT by upchuck
Rarely has the political class whipped itself into a lather that has abated so quickly.
The president has certainly done his part. He has held rallies. He has used children as props. He has held events with parents of the little victims of Newtown. He has shamed the nation for its alleged forgetfulness over the terrible events of that day and urged members of Congress to join me in finishing the job for our communities and, most importantly, for our kids.
The needle of public opinion is moving the wrong way. CBS News found that support for stricter guns laws dropped from 57 percent to 47 percent, and CNN from 52 percent to 43 percent.
The headline on a CNN story on the latest trend in polling was titled, Polls Suggest Congress Might Have Waited Too Long on Gun Control. It has waited all of four months.
But the assault weapons ban has been deep-sixed by Democrats in the Senate. Same with any limit on the size of magazines. The argument now is all about increasing the reach of background checks...
The gun control debate has shown the president again to be hopelessly detached as a legislative mechanic and ineffectual as a shaper of public opinion.
The presidents push for new gun laws looks, at this juncture, like a complete fizzle. He has failed to sway red-state Democrats and failed to maintain the heightened public support for new gun control laws. The most concrete effect of his advocacy has been, if the anecdotal evidence is to be believed, to stoke increased gun purchases on fears that the government wants to ban guns. He set out to lead a great crusade for gun control and ended up the best friend the gun industry ever had.
(Excerpt) Read more at dyn.politico.com ...
Which explains why they *need* to move as fast as possible when an incident occurs.
If they wait to long logic and common sense overcome the passion of the moment.
Of course there is also the short attention span that the MSM has instilled into the American public to also consider.
Piers Morgan is very upset.
I'm not convinced. The Brown Shirts had good success in New York, Connecticut, and Colorado. Any more such "victories" and we are undone.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
They can't wait for the next mass shooting. It will drive their point home and they'll be able to grab more.
Collectivists love dead bodies. They're useful.
Colorado...yeah, that bothers me. NY State and Connecticut, not so surprising. NYC dominates the Empire State such that Upstate may as well not exist, and Connecticut has become nothing more than a suburb of NYC.
Ditto with the 2nd Congressional District special race in IL. Even with Emperor Bloomie throwing his millions into the race, it was still not a surprise to anyone who knows that area (i.e. electing a white person wasn't gonna happen). And in the end, the candidate's mouthiness aside, the vote count didn't change.
Mission accomplished-—divide the country more. To me that's what this has been all about.
"In the worst economy since the Great Depression the firearms industry can't keep up with orders or expand fast enough."
I was in a recently opened gun store in Northern California about three weeks ago. You could stir the customers with a stick. My wife ups and buys her first ever handgun, so I decide that it's time to add to my "collection" and buy one too. They were so busy that we had to wait an hour to get to one of the two computers to electronically fill out the CADOJ paperwork. The store manager said that they were already selling 600 guns a month and had been open for less than two months! Here in CA more than 600,000 guns were purchased in the past year. The store owner also said that every time Obama opens his yap, they have another good day. To those who are decrying what's happened in CT, NY and CO, I would say wait until next year. Those state legislatures are going to get their collective pee pees whacked by the voters or the courts, or both!
I think if the onerous laws in these states can't be overturned either in the courts or by the legislators the manufacturers of the gun industry have to make a stand by leaving the state and refusing service/sales to the entire state until all citizens are allowed to own the same as LEO.
For myself, I may just not buy those weapons or supplies from those manufacturers on that basis alone.
They are literally having loads of cash thrown at them to move their operations and there is no reason not to take it...
1. The Constitution prohibits the Government from doing what some of these States have recently done.
2. States whose politicians have openly conspired to violate the civil rights of their citizens under color of authority are now States being run by outlaws.
3. Citizens need not obey the anti-gun laws that have been enacted.
4. Law enforcement officers need not enforce the laws.
5. District Attorneys need not prosecute people arrested for violations of these laws.
6. Citizens who serve on juries have a DUTY to NULLIFY these laws with consistent NOT GUILTY verdicts.
7. Citizens have a DUTY to remove from political office ALL persons who have voted for these laws, and all other persons from public office or public employment who enforce these laws.
Even if nothing comes up for a vote in the U.S. Congress gun owners are not going to forget. In addition to that I believe that 0bamaCare is going to be an even bigger negative for Dems by then and that's going to animate an even larger number of Americans than gun control has.
That's why the Democrats need amnesty now. And the Republicans will help them. Then in 2014 the Republican Party will be extinguished.
Although gun ownership is protected by the 2nd A, the right to own ammo was not addressed by the recent USSC decisions and without ammo guns are useless for anything other than firewood or scrap metal. This makes me afraid that Obumma will get his way on the gun issue one way or another.
And the writer calls that anecdotal evidence (if it can be believed ). These people live in fantasy world. Even the percentages for gun control can't be believed. It doesn't jive with the amount of weapons bought. Look for a false flag soon. They smell blood in the water.
I coined the term "totalitarian anarchy" to refer to government in which those in power claim unlimited authority, but are not themselves bound the rule of law. Someone else suggested using "feudalism" instead; I'm not familiar enough with how things actually worked in feudal societies to know whether that's accurate or not.
Enough weapons have been bought to outfit the Chinese and Indian Armies. That's hardly an overwhelming mandate for gun control.
Totalitarian anarchy would be a good description of what is going on now. Feudalism would be the goal down the road to the totalitarian anarchists. It would mean that there were no elections, and that the common people could only possess what the totalitarian anarchists allow them to possess.
"The president has certainly done his part."
Yes; he's done his part to single-handedly abrogate the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution.
He's done his part to concentrate more power in his own hands than that held by any other president in history.
He's done his part to redraw the United States as some sort of latter-day, Marxist retread.
As for anything productive, he hasn't done jack sh*t in the last four-plus years.
"The Constitution prohibits the Government from doing what some of these States have recently done."
Doesn't the Constitution prevent CONGRESS for doing what these States have done?
And doesn't the 10th Amendment give States the power not specifically delegated to Congress?
I agree with you generally, but am a little confused.
Maybe a knowledgable 10th Amendment supporter can explain why the 10th Amendment doesn't apply to the States on the issue of gun "control".
Obama aimed at the wrong target intentionally or not. He targeted gun possession instead of gun use.
There is blood in the water. They haven't yet realized that it's their own blood and by Nov. 2014 they may have bled out if they don't do something to staunch it soon.
It does because of incorporation.
2014 midterms should be an interesting "shootout"
You will have motivated 2nd Amendment supporting voters (similar to 2010 with anti-Obamacare voters) opposed by the huge OFA financial push to capture the House for the final 2 yrs of Caliph Baraq's rule.
There will be a false flag. I'm afraid Matt Brackens book will be prophetic.
By this time next year I expect there to be anger over 0bamaCare that will eclipse the gun control backlash. Maybe not, we will see.
If so then that is what will be.
The 10th Amendment argument sounds good to the left, but here is the sticky part. If Congress and the States cannot ignore the rights of the people under the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments, then under what authority can they ignore their rights under the Second Amendment? Why is the 10th Amendment something that the States can use as an excuse to deprive people of their right to keep an bear arms? If the States, under the 10th Amendment can deprive people of their rights under one Amendment, then the States can deprive people of their rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, speedy trials, the right to an attorney, the right to privacy, and any other rights that they are presently BOUND and SWORN to UPHOLD AND DEFEND!
Both issues should be strong motivators.
I doubt we'll get any traction on the economy, since the MSM has already decided:
"It's the strongest recovery in US history"
"It would have been the strongest recovery in US history if the Republicans hadn't cut the budget."
"It does because of incorporation."
Looked it up. Very interesting. Thank you, that helps my ongoing education.
OK, so now I have this question:
I just read an article stating that North Carolina was considering a bill that reserved their right to establish a religion and make religious laws. How come this doesn't fall under incorporation?
Sounds like such a law would be flat-out unconstitutional on its face.
It will shot down and has no life. This is where politicians should be held accountability for wasting the tax payers money on frivolous crap.
I typed that to fast.
Shamnesty is likely to be a third negative for Dems, IMO, behind 0bamaCare and gun control. If the GOP can't pick up seats right and left then they are done.
Section 13 of the North Carolina constitution prohibits this. Therefore the state supreme court should nullify it.
Background checks are totally worthless, just liberal feelgood nonsense. If a criminal is not legally allowed to own a firearm he'll just go down to the 'hood, or the trailer park, or the bodega, and buy one anyway. The black market is still thriving, and always will be.
In early feudalism, it was pretty close. Feudal society was just gangs of armed men holding strong points. Most realized they needed serfs to grow food for them and their horses, so they had to protect their property (serfs) that were bound to the land. They had almost no restraints on their actions.
During the late medeival period, the church had some influence, but not very much.
So he just moved the game into the UN. It never ends.
Voting machines, same day registration, mail in ballots, no id checks, crooked AGs, corrupt precinct captains. What could go wrong?
That argument raged on FR a while back. Some argue for full restoration of 10th, the other group argued that the 14th gave the right back to the people.
In the end it doesnt matter, it only matters what laws they choose to enforce and what they choose to ignore.
It won't matter unless the laws they passed are repealed, otherwise those Democratic losses will just be viewed as "collateral damage" by the Left and in a few years they'll be back in power to further chip away at what's left.

Don't Miss Out! An Evening of Beauty Chock-Full Of (Free) Goodies
The week usually begins and ends the same way: Monday brings you down like that Carpenter's song, and the feeling of Friday freedom feels as good now as it did when you were a kid in school. But what about during the week? Someone came up with the concept of hump day as a way for us to see the light at the end of the tunnel — usually in the form of a cocktail or two. We don't know about you, but we'd prefer something to make us feel a little bit more excited about the weekend other than a hangover.
You're in luck (this week, at least), as The Girls of Lincoln Park (that adorable foursome who "documents the things they love") has partnered with Benefit Cosmetics to host a summertime soirée this Wednesday, August 22 at its Southport boutique.
Tickets are $45, but $35 serves as a store credit toward any purchase during the evening — time to refill that Benetint! In addition, the Benefit gals will be on hand to offer complimentary brow shaping and makeup applications, as you enjoy sweets and other treats. Not only will you walk away feeling gorge, but you'll get a summertime swag bag, to boot.
Tickets are sold at one of three time slots (5:30, 6:30, or 7:30 p.m.) so that you're guaranteed personalized attention. Only 25 tickets are available for each slot, so drop what you're doing and sign up stat!

Purification of the glutamate synthase (GOGAT) enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed that it is an oligomeric enzyme composed of three identical 199-kDa subunits. The GOGAT structural gene was isolated by screening a yeast genomic library with a yeast PCR probe. This probe was obtained by amplification with degenerate oligonucleotides designed from conserved regions of known GOGAT genes. The derived amino-terminal sequence of the GOGAT gene was confirmed by direct amino-terminal sequence analysis of the purified protein of 199 kDa. Northern (RNA) analysis allowed the identification of an mRNA of about 7 or 8 kb. An internal fragment of the GOGAT gene was used to obtain null GOGAT mutants completely devoid of GOGAT activity. The results show that S. cerevisiae has a single NADH-GOGAT enzyme, consisting of three 199-kDa monomers, that differs from the one found in prokaryotic microorganisms but is similar to those found in other eukaryotic organisms such as alfalfa.

Get Involved in your Neighborhood Organizationupdated: Tuesday, July 19, 2016
Did you know St. Louis Park is divided into 35 neighborhoods and many of these neighborhoods have organized neighborhood associations? Involved and active neighborhoods are elements of the overall quality of life in St. Louis Park and we want you to be a part of them.
Strong Neighborhoods are important and here are a few reasons why:
- Build investment and pride
- Increase feeling of safety and security
- Connect neighborhoods with each other and with the city
- Create and maintain a sense of community
Neighborhood organizations take on many shapes and forms in St. Louis Park. Most hold neighborhood get-togethers, organize park cleanups, or share services (trading home maintenance for child care, for example). Many neighborhoods publish newsletters and websites listing upcoming events and neighborhood news.
To find out more about your neighborhood, visit the city's website and click on the neighborhoods section. If you don't know what neighborhood you live in, use the MyNeighborhood application available on the site to determine your neighborhood.
If you are interested in getting involved, contact your neighborhood association leaders.
If your neighborhood isn't organized, contact Breanna Freedman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 952.924.2184.
National Night Out
Each year, Neighborhood Watch block captains throughout St. Louis Park organize block parties to organize block parties to celebrate National Night Out, and neighborhood associations organize larger events throughout the city.
This year, National Night Out will occur on Tuesday, August 2. You do not need to be a block captain to organize a National Night Out event for your neighbors. Registration information was mailed to block captains in June.

Neighborhood Associationsupdated: Thursday, May 19, 2016
Many of St. Louis Park's 35 neighborhoods are represented by an organized neighborhood association. These groups can rally residents together to solve a problem or voice an opinion on a special issue. They can also hold neighborhood get-togethers, organize park clean-ups, or share services (trading home maintenance for child care, for example). Many neighborhoods publish newsletters listing upcoming events and neighborhood news.
Call Breanna Freedman, community liaison, at 952.924.2184 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out whether your neighborhood is represented by an association, or if it isn't, how you can organize one. You can also visit your neighborhoods webpage to see if it is organized. If you don't know your neighborhood, find it by visiting myNeighborhood.

The statement may appear to be merely bowing to the obvious, but for the Vatican to even suggest that Pope John Paul II's health may be failing is a major step. Which is why they took it in a roundabout way, reports CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey.
As he capped his 96th foreign trip with a beatification mass, a Vatican spokesman said a Papal visit to Toronto in July would go ahead as planned, but stops in Mexico and Guatemala were uncertain.
"Everything that has been confirmed is confirmed," Joaquin Navarro-Valls said, adding: "Something that has been confirmed can be unconfirmed."
Ravaged by Parkinson's disease and hobbled by arthritis, John Paul II has already cut back on activities. On this latest trip to Azerbaijan and Bulgaria, he read only the first and last paragraph of his speeches. An aide filled in the rest.
Vatican officials insist the Pope's physical limitations are not an obstacle to his message or his mission. John Paul II, they say,is very much in charge, very much the driving force. But he must now be pushed on a wheeled platform, his stamina very much a concern.
Those close to the Pope are adamant that the physical frailty is misleading.
"His memory, his capacity for planning the future, his sense of humour, everything of this is absolutely intact," said Navarro-Valls, the papal spokesman.
The main aim of this effort in Bulgaria was to narrow the 1,000-year-old split between the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
The warm reception from a population that is 80 percent Orthodox, and the rare presence of Orthodox priests at a Catholic mass, were seen as indications of success.
But how much more John Paul II can do to bring the churches together is more open to question than ever.

Our definitive guide to a healthy lunch on the go—complete with nutrition-boosting tips, make-ahead strategies, and tasty pack-and-go recipes.
Little Italy Chicken Pitas
A smart trick to this zesty sandwich is using oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to prepare the vinaigrette. Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and pack separately. Fill pitas just before eating.
Nutrition Tip: Fresh, whole fruit is your best option for sides and snacks during the day. Change things up by selected fruit that's in season--you'll enjoy diverse flavors plus nutritional variety as your choices change naturally throughout the year. An apple, chilled grapes, or mango slices offer a great source of fiber, keeping you feeling fuller longer.

This will be my first year at the University of Delaware as I am a transfer student coming in as a sophomore but thus far I am pleased with what I have encountered. The Linguistics program is strong with varied classes and excellent guidance. I know that career options for linguistics majors are varied so I am not worried about finding a career and I am under the impression that the University has an excellent career services center. My only grief with the program/the University so far into my experience there is that I was given only one option for an orientation date, and it was the second-to-last day of their month-long orientation program which includes transfer and freshmen students, and since my date was last I was given no seniority despite my second-semester sophomore status in choosing courses so my initial schedule didn't work out as well as I had hoped.
I applied directly to the major I desired, although it is possible to apply as undeclared and choose later. There was no special process to be admitted to my particular major, Linguistics, just the common application.
Greek Life:
Greek life is present here at the University of Delaware but doesn't dominate it. Greeks and Non-Greeks do interact with each other. Also, Greeks have their separate housing locations and they look pretty nice.
Delaware weather is pretty unpredictable. It can be 70 degrees one week then 50 degrees the next. I would suggest you pack both summer and winter clothes with you during both semesters so you'll always be prepared.
Campus Quality:
Student life on campus is active, especially in the Fall and the Spring. There is always somewhere outside of your dorm room to study or hang out. The campus is beautiful, not too large and not too small. The main library is quite large and does get crowded around finals, but you will always find a nice quiet spot. Not to mention there are literally a BILLION other places to study on campus if you need a change in scenery.
Campus Food:
Generally speaking, the dining halls and other places on campus offer a nice and variety of foods. I personally love Russell Dining Hall and Perkins. Having Dunkin Donuts stay open throughout the day is very convenient. However, on weekends, the dining hall food isn't good, when compared to the weekdays. I would suggest getting a meal plan with lots of points since points cannot be used in Dining halls but only in Student centers like Perkins since those places offer the best food.
I plan on getting a Marketing internship because I want to gain experience and knowledge by applying Marketing beyond the textbooks. I am a little apprehensive if I will find the right kind of internship for me due to the competition that exists everywhere today.
It gets very, very windy in Delaware making it hard to walk at a good pace to class especially if your long hair is flying everywhere making you barely see anything. It also rains a lot but classes never get cancelled, leaving you to splash your way to class. Be careful not to walk on the side of the sidewalk where cars drive by because they can easily splash you while driving through the puddles. When it rains and is windy at the same time, it's more awful. You try very hard to keep your umbrella open but the wind fights against it leaving you to ultimately close your umbrella and walk in the pouring rain. But when it's sunny, everyone is tanning outside and enjoying their ice tea from Dunkin Donuts.
The process of getting into Marketing was easy. I didn't have to add anything to the general application requirements. However, getting into the Honors Program was a bit challenging because an additional essay was required and only a small percentage of the students who applied were admitted. The most important criteria for admission was high school GPA, rank, quality of courses taken during high school, and the additional essay. No, my program does not have an abnormal application process.
Drug Safety:
Underage students do drink on the weekends and sometimes cause noises in the hallways, making it hard for others to sleep. However, the RAs are very good at handling drunk students and do write them down if they cause trouble.
Campus Quality:
The facilities at UD range from extremely nice and new to fair, but I definitely wouldn't say any facilities are in poor condition. The university staff and officers keep campus and facilities in good shape.
The weather at UD is pretty fair. We are lucky enough to get a long fall that tends to feel as if its still summer and a long spring with high temperatures. The downfall is we return to campus for the second semester, "Spring" semester, in the dead of winter so it is hard getting back in to the swing of things after 7 weeks off when it is so cold out. Also, when it starts to get nicer out, I constantly find myself saying, it would be so much warmer without this wind. Campus is very windy.
Campus Housing:
The campus housing can really vary at UD. There are some very nice dorm locations and there are some that are not so nice. Out of the freshman dorms, the majority are older and falling apart, apart from the George Read Hall which is much newer and situated with upperclassmen housing. However, the university is working to improve and renovate all freshman housing with the opening of an enormous new facility in Fall 2013, with plans to continue renovations on others.
I am a marketing major and I couldn't have picked a better program. I was torn between choosing a marketing major or a communications major and am glad that I chose marketing. Being in the business school is a great experience because the professors are very intelligent and approachable. The classes that I have to take are, for the most part, all interesting to me. Being in the business school allows me to take classes that relate to all the different majors helping me to realize that marketing was the right choice.
Varsity sports are a big deal at Delaware. We tend to be the under dogs in most of our sports but it is always so much fun to go out to the games, get dressed up, sit in the cockpit (our student section), and cheer as loud as you can! The varsity facilities are really nice, which also is the same for our non-varsity athletics. Intramural is a huge deal because everyone likes to play them and there are really great options. Additionally, our non-varsity gym is getting expanded and will be SO nice this fall (2013).
I have not had an internship yet but am currently looking for one for the winter. University of Delaware has an excellent career services center that is extremely helpful with matching you with internships and helping you along the path of achieving that internship. Being at Delaware, we are close to Philadelphia, Wilmington, New York, and Washington D.C., therefore there are many nearby opportunities that can be found with the help of our career services.
When I applied to the University of Delaware I did not have to fill out any extra application sections in order to apply to the business school. I merely chose that as the school I wanted to get into and when admissions reviewed my application they judged whether or not my grades matched those of the acceptable standard for the school of business.
I'm in the business school and I can truthfully say that I find all of my classes interesting and intellectually challenging. The workload depends on the class you are taking, there will be some easier classes that have a smaller work load and some classes that are more difficult with a heavier work load. All in all, the business school at UD is great and they always e-mail me about internship/job opportunities. It is clear that the business school really wants me to succeed.
Apply early, and don't be afraid to reach out and let admissions know about your accomplishments even throughout senior year. Also be sure to do FAFSA.
Challenging and interesting coursework within classes applicable to my major. However, many gen eds require an excessive amount of work/effort and can be GPA killers.
You can always count on it to be either extremely warm, or extremely cold. It stays warm until about December and then stays cold until the middle of March. Classes rarely get cancelled due to weather. The one thing you can count on is for it to rain almost every Tuesday. Since it is such a huge campus, it is sometimes a hassle walking around in the really bad weather.
Health & Safety:
The security on campus is pretty good. Students are sent updates via email or text if there is a safety concern that could affect them. Campus crime happens everywhere, the only true problem is that the school is integrated into the community so it is hard to differentiate between students and non-students. That makes crime a bit easier. There are blue lights everywhere and there are several numbers you can call if you feel unsafe or want to be escorted back to where you stay. I have never felt unsafe on the campus.
There is a lot of parking available on the campus, but the problem is that they assign you a place to park. You have to pay for a parking space on campus and then they assign you a place to put your car, which may not necessarily be near your dorm.
Party Scene:
Nightlife is not that great if you are not 21 in Delaware but overall it is pretty good.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are lots of options around UD from pizza to chipotle, it's pretty much up to the student to choose what they want that day. They also have pretty reasonable prices and run special some days for college kids.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
By the end of their years here, most students look back and are happy with their choice. They've received a good education and generally met some people with whom they will keep in touch for many years in "real" life. This love of the school comes about gradually for many students. While some students love it automatically and fit in easily with the relatively homogenous campus, others take longer to find their place and truly start to enjoy themselves.
While many students have a slow start here at Delaware, they all report that once they decided to give it a chance, they found their experience rewarding both academically and socially. This University tends to provide a nice balance between a social life and an academic one. There is always plenty of time to hang out and get your work done, so no matter what you are interested in, you have a chance to get it all done. This is the major benefit of attending the University of Delaware.
