Talk about a rash decision.
This is a discussion on Beware: Gun Confiscation within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; At 21, if my dad took my 30+ guns in this manner, I'd give him an ultimatum: give them back or go to jail. "Dad, ...
At 21, if my dad took my 30+ guns in this manner, I'd give him an ultimatum: give them back or go to jail. "Dad, I love you, but you don't really have a choice. If we want to make an arrangement to store part of them, that is fine, but I will know the location and have access to them."
I seriously doubt that would ever be this case, especially since he and I are truly communistic about guns.
Slimz, has he mentioned your drinking in the past? Does he seem concerned about alcohol use? Did you ask him why he took the guns?
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

Talk about a rash decision.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
Why in the world is everyone giving advice that will destroy this family when a little calm reflection and cooperation can solve about all of the problem.
Paymeister got it right. The kid and the dad should go talk to a neutral third party such as a grandparent, uncle, pastor, psychologist, and work this thing out.
THe assumption that the guns will turn up being used in a crime is far fetched given the scenario and the situation.
I'm impressed by the OP's statement that he is an A student. I believe that. Therefore, I think he has the intellect to find a solution to this situation without escalating it.
Absolutely nothing good can come from doing what some here have proposed. Someone will end up in jail; maybe two someones, and the family will be destroyed. (That by the way isn't a good display of family values.)
There are better ways to deal with this. And if need be, this young man can and perhaps should seek some legal guidance if he is worried about the statute which some have cited.
I think that statute is a non-issue, and I would love to hear from Sixto as I think he would have some solid insight into what the law truly requires here, and how the cops would view this situation.
Still, unless dad is some sort of goof who is utterly irresponsible, this thing needs to be cooled.
(And I doubt the dad is in fact irresponsible. As this young man is an A student, maybe dad raised him right. It appears so from some of what the OP wrote. So, there is likely at least some poor judgment on both sides. You don't want that in the hands of the cops. Pity the poor mother if both end up in the slammer.)
The "kid" is an adult. Perhaps it is time for him to move out, and live like one.
This is a simple situation, every child goes through this in their lives; Your father is telling you that it is his house, and his rules and he controls everything and everyone in it. I had this same issue with my dad 25 years ago when he took a pistol that I carried and sold it at the local pawn shop "because I shouldn't be carrying something like that around". he conveniently forgot that I worked in the oil fields of South Texas and was on the road alone a lot in those days.
To solve the problem, I simply moved out on my own. Yes, it was hard and it took me an extra year to graduate from school, but I managed and had my freedom from his "rules". So the answer to your question is how much do you value your principles and your need to protect yourself, as well as your willingness to exercise your rights? If you are willing to move out on your own, then so be it. Move out and demand your father return your property. If he has gotten rid of it, like my father did, then you know where you stand with mom and dad. It was 4 years before I spoke to my dad after that, and I have not let him or any of my other family members forget it.
Ever since he did that, i have made him an NRA member every year since then. If any of you wonder why I have mentioned in some of my posts why I make all of my liberal family members NRA members every Christmas, now you know the story behind the story.........
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
Be responsible.
Move out.
Request the immediate return of all your property.
If not immediately returned, report the guns as stolen/missing.
You need to both act as adults.
"There is no such thing as too much ammo. Unless you're swimming!"
As a tenent paying rent, you have the rights anyone renting an apartment has. Likewise if a stranger was renting a room from your parents they would have rights.
First of all, a landlord cannot enter the tenents domicile without permission. You have every right to keep your room locked.
A landlord certainly may not tamper with or take a tenents property.
Your dad could be charged with criminal trespass and grand larceny. By the way, the person now in possession of your guns could be charged with conspiracy, accomplice before the fact to grand larceny and felony possession of stolen property. I'd call the police and tell your father to call a lawyer.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
All of you, stop this nonsense that the kid should move out.
He needs to find a solution that both he and his dad can live with.
Talking about making this into a big dang legal deal, or insisting that the OP grow up and moving out, is just silly; and dangerous to the family's welfare.
You all on that side of the issue are encouraging a family calamity.
Honestly, to the guy who said he didn't talk to his dad for 4 years over a similar issue, was that really wise?
I have not gone back to early posts to check whether or not the kid is actually paying rent. My initial recollection was no, as he is a student living at home. But in any case, don't twist a family arrangement into a commercial venture. They aren't the same thing.
This is a kid living in his dad's home. Something happened that caused the dad to be concerned about the guns and the kids behavior or safety. Who give a whatever about the legalisms. These two have to find a way to get along. Whatever concerned the dad needs to be resolved.
I urge the OP in the strongest way possible, preserve your relationship with your parents. If it is necessary to seek outside help to do so, do it. If it is necessary to give in, do it. Down the road you will be glad you did.
P.S. I'm an old guy who raised a kid who is now a decade older than the OP. If you haven't raised a kid, or you have the kind of temperament where you have in the past been in constant conflict with your parents, at least stop and think about the potential damage your poor advice is going to cause.
This isn't about gun rights. It is about a son and a dad learning to get along, and a dad trying to protect his son. It isn't for the cops. It is for a pastor or a psychologist or a close relative both trust, to sort it out.
To the OP; SON, seriously, don't do anything you are going to regret for the rest of your life. Think carefully before you act.
Then if they don't appear, report them as stolen - - which they were.
"...bad decisions that turn out well often make heroes."
Gary D. Mitchell, A Sniper's Journey: The Truth About the Man and the Rifle, P. 103, NAL Caliber books, 2006, 1st Ed.
22 and still living home, I moved out at 18. It was tough at first, but I survived. I am now 32, married, and have three kids. I also got my education (BA) on Uncle Sam's dime. Move out, it's time to become a man. My father and my relationship with him have grown tremendously since the big move.
OP needs to report the guns missing...
Dad is in violation of Ohio Landlord Tenant laws, Dad has had at least one loaded firearm transported from the home (Probably in violation of State law) - unless he is leo or CHL holder there is no way he could legally transport a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle in Ohio, if any of the long guns were loaded he definitely violated law in transporting...
OP needs to have a serious chat with Dad - Ohio law is not 'friendly' to people who violate gun laws in ignorance...
had a similar situation with my son - came home while still a student - all but one of his collection found it's way to my safe...
house rules do have a place, but once rent changes hands the rules change...
Along those same lines, try to find some middle ground. You want them back, but you're willing to wait it out. I would suggest showing him the code that requires reporting of stolen/missing firearms. Make it clear that you are not even willing to consider getting the police involved, but that they are in-fact missing according to the letter of the law. Then draw him up a statement saying the he acknowledges that the guns (loaded) have been removed from proper storage and that he is assuming any and all responsibility for what happens as a direct result of their displacement. Then ask him to sign it.
What good is that? Nothing, I would imagine when it comes to legality. I don't even know if it would/could be used in court for whatever reason. BUT it will force your father to consider the consequences of his actions. Suppose your father's storage-person lets it slip to someone that they are storing a bunch of guns and the wrong person gets a hold of that information. Unlikely but still something for him to consider.
I like the idea of taking your dad out for a beer or two and discussing the issue at hand. Explain all of what you have told us and go from there. Prove the maturity to him and proceed like an adult. If he still doesn't see your point - then you tried. At this point, you might consider what I suggested.

ITFT / Quick Kill Review"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
Hopyard your wisdom is showing through.
I think everyone will admit we don't know 100% of the story.....we haven't heard Dad's side though many are already condeming and convicting him without hearing his side of the story.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
The father's actions here - acting unilaterally rather than sitting down man to man and discussing his concerns - have placed his son in the position where he must choose to either knowingly break the law himself or report the taking of the guns to the police.
That's not a position one should place a loved one in.
It seems likely to me that Dad doesn't know what position he has placed his son in - and that his son should tell his father what the implications of his choice are.

Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
This business that the guns have been stolen is a non-starter.
Think about the whole picture. This young man has been living in the home all his life, he has no doubt been a dependent on his dad's income taxes which implies that dad has provided more than 50% of the kid's support.
This means the money the kid had available to make the gun purchases with was the dad's money-- or at least largely the dad's money and encouraging the dissolution of the family.
And clearly, dad was generous enough that the kid somehow had substantial money to invest in those guns. You can't make a case for the word "stolen" under these circumstances. It won't fly.
You can't make a case that dad didn't have an ownership interest here. No one in their right mind is going to call that stealing, and if it went before a jury, which it never would, you will never find 12 people who will see this as the type of "missing or stolen" referred to in the statute.
All of this advice to report it stolen is beyond belief. You guys aren't thinking of the consequences. One wrong word from the dad and this kid will be picked up and hauled off to a mental hospital (whether he needs it or not). As someone noted earlier, all dad has to say is that he was fearful that the kid would harm himself or someone in the house, deliberately or accidentally.
Again, instead of urging rash action that will destroy the family, urge an approach which brings about a reconciliation.
And to the folks who want this kid to move out, yes, many do move out at an earlier age. Often they are forced out because parent's can't abide the behavior. Other times they leave for military careers at a young age. But, vast numbers of people do live a different way. They send their kids to college, support them into young adulthood, let them live at home out of love until they finish school and find a decent job. Apparently, this latter approach is what has been taken in this household, and the kid isn't yet ready financially to move out.
So, nothing good, absolutely nothing good whatsoever, can possibly come from advising this young man in the way some here have.
All of the evidence here is that the dad loves his son, is acting for his best interest, and you all should be ashamed for wanting to throw stones at the dad.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A published report says the Pentagon has approved a broader range of secret military operations against militant groups.
The New York Times reports Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S.
Central Command, has authorized Special Operations troops to conduct surveillance missions in such countries as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia.
The document says the goals are to "penetrate, disrupt, defeat or destroy" militant groups, including al-Qaida, and "prepare the environment" for future attacks. The Times reports the document does not authorize offensive action.
Anonymous U.S. officials cited by the Times said the order does
allow for intelligence-gathering missions in Iran. That could lay the groundwork for possible military action if tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to rise.

In windows 7, when you press alt tab you get a list of windows and can cycle through them effectively. Is there a way to close the window you are currently on instead of actually going to that window and pressing the "x" or alt f4.
Alt+tab to the window you need to close. Holding alt press "Enter", it will focus selected window, then press F4 on the same alt. The most programs support "Alt+F4" as a way for quiting them. Don't release alt and you'll can keep on alt+tabbing.
So, MacOS can command+(tab→q→tab→q→tab→q...)
In Win7 alt+(tab→enter→f4→tab→enter→f4→tab→enter→f4→...) works fine for me.
And don't forget, you can use arrows to navigate through alttab context menu.
By default, this is not possible as it is not programmed default functionality within Windows - however, there are a few 3rd party apps out there which extend the functionality of alt-tab.
That said, I am not sure I would trust most of them, so tread carefully.

Originally set to go on the block this spring, the state has postponed selling Kirkwood's historic and beautifully dilapidated relic from Atlanta's railroad past until at least next year. The hodgepodge of turn-of-the-century buildings has sat mostly empty since the 1990s. If scooped up by a developer with vision, the 26-acre parcel has the potential to create another destination on Atlanta's eastside.
- Jason Greene
- UP HIGH: In this aerial photo dated from the 1960s, the plant was still active. Combined, the various buildings, the earliest of which were built in 1904, total more than 100,000 square feet.
In the early 1970s, 14-year-old railroad buff Doug Alexander was given the opportunity to tour Kirkwood's Pullman Yard to see how the massive machines he found so fascinating got made.
Inside the sprawling complex's more than 18,000-square-foot barn-shaped main building, he marveled at cranes, stamping machines that could bend metal, and massive platforms where railroad cars moved from the tracks to maintenance bays. Outside sat the historic Savannah and Atlanta No. 750, a black beast of a steam engine that once served the Southeast.
"Going in there, all these cool trains, all these cool parts ... Boy, I wanted to take home a set of wheels and a truck — the frame and the wheels," says Alexander, who would later become an Atlanta City Councilman in the 1990s. "I wanted one of those in my backyard."
» INTERACTIVE: Take a virtual tour of Pullman Yard
For more than 100 years, the compound of brick railroad warehouses that make up Pullman Yard has sat on Kirkwood's northern edge, sometimes a bustling industrial hub, and sometimes in limbo. Commuters likely know the compound best as the hodgepodge of rusted, graffiti-covered buildings along DeKalb Avenue. The state purchased the property in the early '90s and made it the home of the now-defunct New Georgia Railroad train. But for the last six years, the imposing main building and surrounding saw-toothed structures have sat relatively unused. Aside from a few Hollywood film productions, urban explorers drawn to modern ruins, graffiti artists, and the occasional clean-up crew, the property has seen little action.
"It was there, never particularly achieving its potential," says Earl Williamson, a Kirkwood resident since 2001 and the chairman of the Neighborhood Planning Unit O, which encompasses the community.
For years, the Georgia Building Authority, the agency that oversees the state's real estate portfolio, has sat on the land. As recently as this month, it was planning to start accepting bids from developers with plans for the 26-acre site, considered one of the last large untapped pieces of property inside the city limits. That plan has been pushed back until next year at the earliest.When the time comes, if you've got at least $4 million to spend, you just might be able to walk away with a piece of Atlanta history.
Kirkwood residents have different opinions on what they think should happen to Pullman Yard. But above all, they want to see the complex's 20th-century buildings preserved and the rest of the property developed in a way that boosts their working-class community. The question is whether the state will accept a developer's highest bid or consider what will most benefit the surrounding community — one of intown Atlanta's most diverse.
"How do you use that?" asks Wayne Carey, a Kirkwood resident since 1986. "We already have the Edgewood Retail District. We have property that can be redeveloped. How do you develop that resource? Do you take the one iconic piece of architecture or place and do you use it for whatever happens to be the going trend of the moment?"
- Joeff Davis
- BENIGN NEGLECT: Preservationists, community groups, and neighborhood residents hope the 26-acre property's historic buildings, including structures with saw-toothed roofs, can be repurposed.
Since Brendan Butler moved to Kirkwood from Old Fourth Ward 14 years ago, he has watched Pullman Yard sit idle across the street from his Rogers Street home. The area surrounding his eclectic 1903 bungalow has improved — abandoned loading docks on Arizona Avenue are now soccer fields for the Atlanta Youth Soccer Association and it seems like a house is getting rehabbed every week, he says — but the property has remained in limbo.
The 41-year-old "garden architect" operates Kirkwood re-Cycle, a community organization based in a garage on his property that restores and donates bicycles to needy children. He and neighbors have enjoyed the quiet, he says, and the state's been a good neighbor. But aside from the movie shoots, regular visits by groundskeeping crews, and a long-gone pack of feral dogs that once roamed the many acres, it's been still.
The industrial complex's first buildings date back to 1904, when Pratt Engineering opened the Kirkwood manufacturing plant. During World War I, workers produced munitions for soldiers in Europe here.
In 1922, the Chicago-based Pullman Company purchased the plant to serve as one of its six hubs across the country to maintain and restore its storied passenger rail coaches. The train cars were staffed by Pullman porters, an all-black workforce whose members were considered paragons of customer service in train travel. At the time, Pullman was the largest employer of black workers in America. Plant foremen lived in small bungalows across the street from the plant.

A zip line (flying fox) system and 120m bungy has been
proposed over the Ox Burn gorge in Glenorchy.
Canyon Adventure Ltd has applied for consent to construct and
operate the activity equipment, which would require a
twin-cable system to span 275m across the gorge, the cables
being securely anchored 5m-10m into surrounding rock.
The application said the site was located off Rees Valley Rd
in a "discreet, remote location" and customers would be
transported via a company minibus.
The Ox Burn was described as "a steep rugged alpine gorge
system that descends in an east to west direction from the
peaks above to the valley floor below" with substantial
patches of beech forest.
Thrill-seekers would ride the zip line from one platform to
another, from where they would attach to a twin-wire cable
system and be pulled across to the bungy platform for a bungy
Alternatively, people could be brought straight on to the
bungy platform, carried in a steel cage with a four-person
capacity, and able to run along the cable system.
After the bungy leap, customers would walk back up to the
second platform and take the zip line down the Ox Burn to a
final zip line.
"It will provide opportunities for the enjoyment and
appreciation of an otherwise inaccessible, remote alpine
gorge," the application said.
The year-round activity is proposed to operate 8am-8pm from
October to April with shorter hours during the colder months.

Kids' menu in America
We are sitting on this terrace, and our 2yo toddler, Mr. P., is acting his usual self, i.e. he is being as charming as a gastric lavage. This is partly due to the food he has in front of him: a nice (probably sous vide cooked) sliced chicken breast, with some sort of alcoholic jus on top, and apple sauce on the side. His food is very good, frankly, even if it lacks salt: but he won't eat it, although he was presented as a "kid option".
And our mind goes back to the US kids' menu. If you have aver eaten with a kid in any American restaurant, you will have been handed a "kids' menu". The selection of food offered is very limited, and it is always the same, irrespective of the place you are visiting: chicken nuggets, sometimes fishsticks, apple sauce, mac and cheese, cheese sandwich. Perhaps "pizzadilla" (a quesadilla with tomato sauce) if you go to a Mexican restaurant.
Googling around, I discovered that the origin of the kids' menu's tradition in the US started with the prohibitionist era. As they were losing customers, who didn't go to dine out because they couldn't drink any longer while eating their meal, restaurants thought that they could lure a different type of clientele into their establishments, one that had not been dining out until then: families with kids. To do that, they started offering menus specifically tailored to children.
We are in 1920, and the health nazis of that period firmly believed that kids should not eat fruit and vegetables (they could cause diarrhea), desserts of any type, bacon, tomato soups, lemonades. These beliefs were firmly established in the children parenting bible of the time, The care and feeding of children, by one Emmett Holt (you can read the whole book here, if you want). No chicken nuggets were available at the time, replaced - according to this Slate's article which tells the history of children's menu - by the ubiquitous lamb chop. (Picture a 21th century kid eating a lamb chop, please).
Even when the ban on alcohol was lifted, the kids' menu tradition remained, and it evolved over time, until it stabilized with the current choice of yellow food (notice, 90% of the food on the kids menu is yellow...) in the '70s.
As a father of a very picky eater, kids menus are both a blessing and a curse: a blessing, because in 99% of cases, the menus are printed on coloring papers, which will keep your toddler entertained for at least five minutes (they normally give you crayons too). A curse, because even if you think - like I do - that a lot of what the health-nazis want you to believe about food is not true, you don't need to be a food scientist to realize that all this fried food and all this cheese is not particularly good for your kid.
In the meantime, all I can do is try to continue to educate Mr. P. about eating whatever we eat. Long gone are the days where I would spend time preparing special dishes for him: if he wants to eat, he'll eat what we are having. If not, he'll eat some some other day.

Glad to have you back and blogging.
The kids menu in the USA should probably have a hazmat warning since it has so many calories, processed food and salt.
I don't have kids but still see the articles on kids menus and how bad they are.

Hi Trobairitz, thank you! Yes, you are right. A lot of calories, but especially a lack of variety. The solution though is very simple: have them eat what we eat.

A friend jokingly told me the only veggies he eats are the ones listed as sides on a diner menu. I think it's about equivalent to your yellows: mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, corn, fries, etc. Goodluck refining's Mr. P's palate one meal at a time. I recall outcome of the homemade vs. organic baby food!

Hi Recapitulation, I think you are friend is onto something though. Isn't this the country where pizza was categorized as vegetable because of the high content of tomato in the sauce?

Hi guys,
Quite a few of you guys have been achieving a website that doesn't look like a WordPress templates. I thought i would inspire you!
Mix of a CMS, web gallery and many more features.
Website took me five weeks to develop i thought it would take only two weeks. I had alot of mountains to climb especially with my limited PHP skills so its been learning while i develop and i have learnt more in these 5 weeks then over 6 months.
I'm thinking of creating a blog that specialises in front-end design. Let me know if you guys would be interested :)
It's been tough but worth it! Hope you guys like it.

Unfortunately, this year the flu seems to be pretty intense.
The CDC recommends the following tips from their article on the flu:
- Wash your hands. Wash your hands often and especially after you touch anything that other people have also touched in public (gas pumps, grocery carts, ATMs, handrails, etc). The importance of washing your hands cannot be stressed enough.
- Get a flu vaccine. This may be harder to do now than earlier in the season and it does not take effect for two weeks.
- Limit your exposure to people who have the flu or flu-like symptoms.
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue to prevent infecting others.
- If you do get sick, take the antiviral drugs prescribed by your doctor or follow your doctor's orders.
According to the Google Flu Trends, flu activity in Missouri is intense. In Kansas City, flu activity is high and in St. Louis and Springfield, it is intense.

By Cheryl Rodewig, The BayonetNovember 20, 2009
Fort Benning, Ga. - "Not backing down" - that's what CPT Tommy Ryan said won him first place in the heavyweight division of the Maneuver Captains Career Course combatives tournament.
"It's everything you've been taught in the combatives program: not letting your opponent know you're in an uncomfortable situation. If you remain calm the entire time, you usually come out," Ryan said.
Ryan was one of about 180 Soldiers who participated in the single elimination tournament Monday at Briant Wells Fieldhouse.
The culminating combatives event for the course, the tournament builds morale while instilling the warrior ethos in the students, said SSG Timothy Farris, U.S. Army Combatives School, who assisted with the tournament.
"It's right up there on the wall: 'the defining characteristic of a warrior is the willingness to close with and destroy the enemy.' That's what combatives is," Farris said. "If you're timid when you're fighting you usually get beat. A more aggressive person, even with limited skills, is generally going to win the fight because he's going to be the guy on top, he's going to be the guy pushing the action."
In the submission grappling tournament, fighters won by either submission with a chokehold or joint manipulation or by gaining the most points in six minutes. Points were awarded for gaining and maintaining dominant body positions. Strikes were prohibited.
Although most of the captains started combatives training only two months ago, MAJ Dan Rausch, primary combatives instructor for the MCCC, said he was impressed with several of their moves.
"Just to watch them progress and get scrappy like they're doing now is great," said Rausch, who competed in the tournament and made it to the finals in the lightweight division. "I've seen quite a bit of joint manipulation and quite a few chokes as well, so that's pretty impressive."
Now that the captains know what right looks like, they are prepared to bring combatives training to the companies they will soon head as commanders, Rausch said.
"It's good to give them a structured tournament environment, basically teach them how to do it," he said. "However, we're going to continue to reinforce the teaching throughout the rest of the time they're here at the career course."
The students, who will graduate Feb. 26, are already Level 1 certified in combatives. A few are working toward their Level 2 certification.
"Everyone needs to learn a little bit to survive," said CPT Rob McQueen, who will finish his Level 2 certification in the next two weeks. "It gives you basic skills if it gets down to that point, which is good, but it really builds confidence in Soldiers and their ability to fight against another human being."
When he's out on the mat, McQueen said time seems to move slowly as he tries to anticipate his opponent's moves.
"But things change quickly," he said. "You never really know what's going to happen. It just takes one mistake and someone could capitalize (on it). It comes down to who's patient, who gets the move in and who just sticks with it. You'll be in a lot of positions when you're close to getting choked out or you're close to getting in an armbar. You can either take it and give up or you can push through."
McQueen pushed through to the cruiserweight division finals, losing by submission to CPT Chris Mercado on a cross collar choke.
"You never stop learning," McQueen said. "It's good to challenge your peers and learn something from everyone and just have a good time and get beat up a little bit. You're going to feel it whether you win or lose."

I understand our Legislature believes that Alaska classroom sizes should be smaller to provide quality education for our children.
Sound off on the important issues at
This is very true. While volunteering in my daughters' classrooms in Juneau, I see the effect of overcrowding. Some children don't have enough space to work, and the teachers are unable to provide enough quality one-on-one time with kids. Instead, teachers end up spending too much time "managing" the classroom.
While the Legislature contemplates the future of Alaska in terms of gas pipelines and other important issues, I urge them to remember our greatest assets are our children. A quality education is essential for children to grow up and be extraordinary Alaska residents.
Full funding is vital to ensure a quality education system.

Versus Seattle
1) Kaepernick played his worst game and still looked fairly good.
2) Rookies contributed and will make us forget the guys they replaced (Reid & McDonald).
3) Rain, hostile noise, a good D, questionable calls/non-calls and mental mistakes are a bad formula for winning.
4) We need to find a WR...I have this as a permanent paste in Word until it is no longer true...hopefully--Patton, until Crabtree returns.
Things that I noticed from both games so far:
1) The OLine has improved pass blocking but has lost some run blocking strength.
2) Kaepernick is trying to use his legs less but is still effective when he does.
3) Defense is back to being the strength of the team. Pushing Seattle back on short downs was impressive.
4) The middle of the defensive line is better than I thought it would be but is still not able to shorten the pocket. Too much time for QBs.
5) Special Teams do not put me into cardiac arrest! Much improved.

Media More on Crane Collapse
posted by November 29 at 13:35 PMon
Yesterday the PI reluctantly admitted that Warren Taylor Yeakey, the man operating a crane that collapsed in Bellevue, wasn't on drugs at the time of the accident. Still, the PI felt certain that Yeakey, what with his history of substance abuse (unlike a certain PI columnist I could name), must be to be blame somehow. So the same PI story that cleared Yeakey of substance abuse speculated at length about other stuff Yeakey could have done or failed to do that would cause the crane to collapse, killing one man and causing millions of dollars worth of damage.
Investigators are also looking into whether the crane was allowed to "weathervane," or swing freely, during windstorms before the collapse. A failure to do so by the crane operator would have put more stress on the massive structure, experts say…
"If the crane is not in weathervane mode, the torque from the wind load on the boom can contribute, at least in part, to failure," said Frank Shih, a mechanical engineering professor at Seattle University. [The Italics are mine.]
Who was the crane operator? Why, Yeakey, of course. He was the crane operator, singular, the only person up there operating that crane, the only crane operator named in reports about the accident. If the crane operator, singular, neglected to put that crane in weathervane mode at the end of the day, then surely the crane operator, singular, caused the collapse.
Well guess what? Yeakey wasn't the only person that operated that cranea crane that, according to photographic evidence, was leaning dangerously to one side back in October. From today's Seattle Times:
The construction crane that collapsed in downtown Bellevue Nov. 16 appeared to be leaning in a photograph taken more than a month before the deadly accident….
The photograph is one reason investigators are questioning several crane operators who worked at the site to determine whether they unlocked the crane's horizontal arm during high winds the week before the collapse. The practice, known as "weathervaning," is required during strong winds to allow the arm to swing freely, relieving pressure on the crane, said the source familiar with the investigation.
Among the operators who has been questioned is Warren Taylor Yeakey, 34, of Tacoma, who was in the crane's cab when it collapsed. He suffered minor injuries.
So Yeakey was not only sober the day of the collapse, he's also just one of several people that operated the crane. And the crane appears to have already been leaning dangerously to one sidetwo to three feet at the top, when the max allowed for a crane its height is 5 1/4 inchesmore than a month before Yeakey was unlucky enough to show up for his shift on November 16. (You can see a picture of the crane here.)
But if you read only the PIsomething I'm going to have to give upyou wouldn't know that Yeakey was only one of several men that operated the crane. We also don't know when the PI will drop its drug-hysteria inspired innuendo campaign against Yeakey or when the PI will apologize to him.
I hope Yeakey has a good lawyer and I hope he sues the fuck out of the PI.

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis smiles as he carries a ball off the field after the Jaguars beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-17 in overtime on his interception and return for a touchdown in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2005. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)
JACKSONVILLE -- The Jacksonville Jaguars don't want to make too much out of their 4-2 start, even though it came against the toughest part of their schedule.
They played five teams that made the playoffs last year and handed the Cincinnati Bengals their only loss of the season. They shut down Shaun Alexander, nearly did the same to Peyton Manning & Co., and then won at Pittsburgh on Sunday without running back Fred Taylor.
The Jags are confident heading into their bye week, but also cautiously optimistic considering they had the same record after six games last season then failed to make the postseason.
"We're all excited," Taylor said Monday. "We're in position, which is better than being out of position. But it's still early. It's a long season. You don't get to open Christmas gifts in August."
No, but the Jags do realize what awaits: a considerably weak schedule that includes Houston twice, Arizona, Cleveland and San Francisco.
Jacksonville's first six opponents have a combined 24-10 record -- the league's toughest schedule so far. The final 10 opponents are 17-35, and that includes a 5-0 mark for AFC South rival Indianapolis.
"For us to win four of those first six is a good start," coach Jack Del Rio said.
Critics say the Jaguars are fortunate to be 4-2 and could have easily lost three of their victories.
The New York Jets had a chance to win near the end of regulation last month when Wayne Chrebet caught a 7-yard scoring pass from Chad Pennington. But the call was reversed when replays showed he bobbled it.
The Bengals were down 23-20 with about a minute to play and nearing field goal range when Carson Palmer was stripped of the ball.
Then there was Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.
Jeff Reed missed a 46-yard field goal with 3:32 to play that would have snapped a 17-all tie. It looked like Reed would get another chance in overtime after Quincy Morgan returned the opening kickoff 74 yards, putting the Steelers easily inside Reed's range. But two running plays lost a yard, and then Tommy Maddox fumbled the ball away.
The Jaguars eventually won when cornerback Rashean Mathis intercepted a pass from Maddox and returned it 41 yards for a 23-17 victory.
"Winning in Pittsburgh and beating a team that only lost one game last season, it's a confidence boost," Mathis said.
The Steelers also played without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) and receiver Hines Ward (hamstring). Would the Jags have had the same success if they played?
"You can play what-if scenarios all day," Del Rio said. "Who is to say Fred (Taylor) wouldn't have ran for 234 yards again?"
Taylor ran for a franchise-record 234 yards at Pittsburgh in November 2000.
Although the Jaguars got some breaks in those three games, they also felt like they should have beaten the Colts last month. Manning threw for 122 yards and had his lowest passer rating in four years.
Byron Leftwich, after being sacked six times and injuring his groin, led the Jags to the Indianapolis 22 with 3 seconds left and had a chance to force overtime with a pass to Jimmy Smith in the end zone.
"We still feel like we could have won that one," Taylor said. "We're 4-2. That's what we've earned. Of course, we'd like to be 6-0. But we feel that we're even better than 4-2."

India contributes to UN memorial for slavery victims
United Nations: India has contributed $250,000 to the Trust Fund for the Permanent Memorial to honour the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. India is the largest contributor to this Fund.
A cheque for the amount was handed over by Hardeep Singh Puri, Permanent Representative of India to the UN, Thursday to Amir Dossal, Executive Director, UN Nations Office for Partnerships.
"The contribution reflects India`s firm belief that the international community must pay homage to the victims of slavery and the slave trade, one of mankind`s greatest scars, and acknowledges the tragedy so that such abhorrent practices are not repeated," the Indian mission said.
Raymond O Wolfe, Permanent Representative of Jamaica and Chairman of the Permanent Memorial Committee as well as Kiyotaka Akasaka, UN Under Secretary General for Communications and Public Information were also present at the occasion.
The Trust Fund was launched on May 20, 2009 following the adoption by the General Assembly in May 2007 of the resolution sponsored by Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and African Union to commemorate the 200th anniversary of abolition of transatlantic slave trade.
The Trust Fund is raising funds to construct a Permanent Memorial in the lawns of the UN in New York to honour the victims of slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The memorial is expected to be erected by 2012.

Headlight Mounting Kit 1969 is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 2 out of 5 by ricks40s from Poor quality I bought this kit to in stall in a completed Mustang to replace the old mounting screws and springs. I had to run a die down all the threads on all the scews. And I had to run threads into the plastic clips so that they would thread in. Since the nose of the car was togeather I had to use the original mounting tabs that were on the car. The new plastic clips were to big to go in so I had to trim each of them down so they would push in. After all that htey did work.

Adam Fisk, 22, posted a five-minute clip of his adventure
titled "Lone Man Gets Towed for Miles in Kayak by 11 Foot
Hammerhead Shark."
At one point, Fisk dunked the camera into the water and
recorded the shark swimming ahead of the kayak.
A student at Florida Atlantic University, Fisk set out in a
kayak with several rods to go fishing before the shark took
his bait near Boynton Beach, Florida.
"I threw my bait out and went to reel my other one in so I
wouldnt get tangled, and I just had time to pick up the rod
before the other one already got picked up by that hammer,"
Fisk wrote on the YouTube site.
"It must have been sitting right under me and I had no idea."
Fisk is a member of Team Rebel Fishing, a group of extreme
anglers, according to its website. The group estimated Fisk
was dragged by the shark for 12 miles.
Fisk told Reuters that the ride started out smoothly but
turned frightening when the shark twice reversed course.
"It would do a 180-degree turn and come straight back at me
and that rally scared me because I couldn't see it and I
didn't know if it was coming to bite me," he said.
Fisk said he turned his kayak around until the line got taut
and the shark began pulling again. He said the shark took him
out to sea and around in circles, ending at Lake Worth,
"Hooked a hammerhead in 50ft of water and got drug out to
250ft," Fisk posted in his Facebook account of the ride under
the headline, "I took a South Florida sleigh ride today and I
aint talkin Santa Claus."

Michael Elphick

Elphick as Ken in Boon
|Michael John Elphick
19 September 1946
Chichester, Sussex, England, UK
|7 September 2002
(aged 55)
Willesden Green, London, England
|Years active
|Three Up, Two Down
|Julia Alexander (1963–1996)
Michael John Elphick (19 September 1946 – 7 September 2002) was an English actor known in the UK for his trademark croaky voice and his work on British television, particularly his roles as the eponymous private investigator in the ITV series Boon and later Harry Slater in BBC's EastEnders.[1] He was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Gorky Park.
In his prime, Elphick always looked older than he was, and with his gruff Cockney accent and lip-curling sneer he often played menacing hard men.[2]
Elphick struggled with a highly publicised addiction to alcohol; at the height of his problem he admitted to consuming two litres of spirits a day,[3] which contributed towards his death from a heart attack in 2002.
Early life[edit]
Elphick grew up in Chichester, Sussex, where his family had a butcher's shop. He was educated at Lancastrian Secondary Modern Boys School in Chichester, where he took part in several school productions including Noah and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He initially considered joining the Merchant Navy and helped out in his local boatyard during school holidays.[1]
It has been reported that he stumbled upon acting by chance when, at the age of 15, he took a job as an apprentice electrician at the Chichester Festival Theatre while it was being built.[1] He gained an interest in acting whilst watching stars such as Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave and Sybil Thorndyke. Olivier advised Elphick to go to drama school and gave him two speeches to use at auditions. Elphick was offered a number of places but decided to train at the Central School of Speech and Drama in Swiss Cottage (aged 18), because Olivier had attended there.[4]
After graduating from drama school Elphick was offered roles primarily as menacing heavies. He made his debut in Fraulein Doktor (an Italian-made First World War film circa 1968). He went on to play the Captain in Tony Richardson's version of Hamlet (1969); landed parts in cult films such as The First Great Train Robbery and The Elephant Man and appeared in Lindsay Anderson's allegorical O Lucky Man! (1973). He was also seen as Phil Daniels's father in the cult film Quadrophenia (1979), as Pasha in Gorky Park (1983) and as the poacher, Jake, in Withnail & I (1987). In 1984 he played the lead, Fisher, a British detective recalling under hypnosis a dystopian, crumbling Europe and his hunt for a serial killer in Lars von Trier's Palme D'Or nominated debut film, The Element of Crime.
On stage, Elphick played Marcellus and the Player King in Tony Richardson's stage version of Hamlet at the Roundhouse Theatre and on Broadway and he later played Claudius to Jonathan Pryce's Hamlet at the Royal Court Theatre, directed by Richard Eyre. In 1981 he appeared in the Ray Davies/Barrie Keeffe musical Chorus Girls at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East and he was also seen in The Changing Room, directed by Lindsay Anderson, at the Royal Court Theatre. His last West End stage appearance was in 1997 as Doolittle in Pygmalion directed by Ray Cooney at the Albery Theatre.
However, it was for his television roles that Elphick became best known. He briefly appeared in Coronation Street (1974) as Douglas Wormold, son of the landlord Edward, who for many years owned most of the properties in the road. Douglas unsuccessfully tried to buy the Kabin newsagent's from Len Fairclough.
In 1979 he appeared in Crown Court as Neville Griffiths QC, prosecuting the daughter of the Selsey family for harming her abusive father.[5] He was the only actor in that three-part story correctly to pronounce "Selsey" as "Zell-Zey", in the manner of the West Sussex village near where his mother lived in Chichester.[6]
He played one of the main roles in the film Black Island in 1978 for the Children's Film Foundation, played a villain in The Sweeney episode "One of Your Own" (1978) and played a policeman in The Professionals episode "Backtrack" (1979) and had a minor role in Hazell (1979), and appeared in the Dennis Potter play Blue Remembered Hills (1979). Elphick took the title role in Jack Pulman's drama Private Schulz (1981). Here he played Gerhard Schulz, a German soldier conscripted into SS Counter Espionage during the Second World War to destroy the British economy by flooding it with forged money.
He appeared as the Irish labourer Magowan during the first series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983) and starred as Sidney Mundy in the ITV sitcom Pull the Other One (1984), before playing Sam Tyler in four series of Three Up, Two Down (1985–89). In 1986 Elphick landed his biggest television success, Boon (1986–92, 1995). He played Ken Boon, a retired fireman who opened a motorbike despatch business and later became a private investigator. Boon was very successful and ran for seven series, attracting audiences of 11 million at its peak. There was also a one-off episode screened in 1995, two years after it had been made. During breaks from Boon, Elphick continued to act in film with cameo roles in The Krays (1990) and Let Him Have It (1991), and in 1991 he played Des King in Buddy's Song, starring Chesney Hawkes and Roger Daltrey.
In 1993 Elphick took the role of a former Fleet Street journalist running a Darlington news agency in Harry (1993, 1995). He played the alcoholic and ruthless Harry Salter, who frequently used exploitation and underhand tactics to get a story. This series however was less successful and it was soon cancelled.[7] Elphick went on to play Billy Bones in Ken Russell's televised version of Treasure Island (1995) and Barkis in David Copperfield (1999).
In 2001 he joined the cast of EastEnders, where he played Harry Slater, a romantic interest for Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor). The plotline indicated that Slater had sexually abused his niece, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), at the age of 13 and her "sister" Zoe (Michelle Ryan) was the daughter born to her when she became pregnant by him. Elphick's heavy drinking began to affect his performances, so the character promptly left the series, and news of his death in Spain reached Walford four months later.
Personal life[edit]
Elphick met his long-term partner, school teacher Julia Alexander, in 1963 and remained with her until her death from cancer in 1996.[8] The couple had a daughter, Kate.[8]
For many years Elphick struggled with alcoholism. He made the first of many attempts to stop drinking in 1988,[2] after doctors warned him he could die within a year if he continued. At about this time he owned an interest in a public house, the White Swan in Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire.[7] He sought help from Alcoholics Anonymous in the early 1990s, although he admitted he was still drinking in 1993.[9] In 1996 he admitted that he had begun drinking heavily again and also contemplated suicide after the death of his partner of 33 years. However he rallied and returned to the stage in Loot.[2] The actor also confessed to having taken cocaine and once, while high on drugs, grabbing a shotgun and chasing a gang of thugs after he had been carjacked near his villa in Portugal.[10] Elphick was admitted to the Priory Clinic in Roehampton, in an attempt to beat his addictions.[10] Reports of his alcohol abuse persisted, however, and during his brief spell on EastEnders during 2001 it was reported that the BBC was considering dropping his character if his drinking was not curtailed.[3]
On 7 September 2002, Elphick died of a heart attack complicated by his drinking problem. He had collapsed at his home in Willesden Green, London, after complaining of pains. He was rushed to hospital where he died. He was 55 years old, twelve days before his 56th birthday.[11]
His interment was located in Chichester Crematorium.[citation needed]

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: During my annual checkup, my doctor remarked about my mitral valve prolapse, which I have known about for a number of years. He also mentioned the possibility of pulmonary hypertension. I do have high blood pressure, but I am not familiar with pulmonary high blood pressure. What is it, and what causes it? -- J.R.
ANSWER: The body has two blood pressures. The one recorded when doctors take arm blood pressure is the systemic blood pressure, the blood pressure created by the heart pumping blood into the general circulation.
The lungs have their own blood pressure. They are delicate structures and cannot tolerate the body's normal blood pressure. Lung blood pressure is only one-fifth that of the body's blood pressure. Hypertension is a rise of body blood pressure, and pulmonary hypertension is a rise of lung blood pressure. The two are not related, nor does a rise in systemic blood pressure cause a rise in pulmonary blood pressure.
In piecing your story together, I believe your doctor referred to pulmonary hypertension that could result from your mitral valve prolapse. The mitral valve is one of four heart valves. A prolapsing mitral valve is one that balloons upward when the heart pumps blood. Sometimes associated with the upward ballooning is a leakage of blood through the valve. If that occurs and if the leakage is great, it can raise lung blood pressure -- pulmonary hypertension.
Symptoms of pulmonary hypertension are difficulty catching one's breath, weakness, fatigue and sometimes chest pain. The ankles and feet might swell.
Your doctor must not think that your valve leakage is great, if indeed you have any, or that your lung pressure is dangerously high. He would have asked for more tests if he believed that. Pulmonary hypertension is something not to be taken lightly, and I can't believe your doctor would leave you up in the air if yours were significant.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My son, age 48, has worked for 25 years as a machinist. Lately his hands have broken out with a bad case of eczema. He has never had this affliction before. What caused it? The doctor said he should get a new job, which is impossible at his age. -- A.F.
ANSWER: Eczema turns skin red and creates tiny blisters on the red skin. Often, the skin itches. There are varieties of eczema, and the kind your son has is probably the kind called irritant contact dermatitis. (Dermatitis is skin inflammation.) He must be using something in his job or at home that gets on his hands and causes the inflammatory reaction.
Detergents, chemicals or other sorts of industrial materials are possibilities. Can he wear gloves and do his work? Plain latex gloves or rubber gloves with an inner lining might do the trick. "Barrier" creams, ointments, liquids or sprays can be applied to the hands to protect them from whatever the mischief-maker is. Kerodex cream, Hydropel ointment and Skin Shield (a liquid) are all nonprescription items that should be easy to find.
