Chicago:
Some poor officer is working nights as an armed security guard at the local Stop and Rob (convenience store if you did not understand the reference) and an armed man enters the store, shoots the place up and kills the Security Guard (officer). It is sad that some ‘ass’ (not to offend Mules, Donkeys and Wild Asses) entered the building and shot someone then stole their gun and a badge. But why the heck is a police officer working nights as a Security Guard? Have I missed something here? The officers then, according to the story on MSNBC, go door to door canvasing the neighborhood searching for witnesses and handing out fliers with a $10,000 reward.
I would suspect that the suspects knew he was a cop and intended to kill and rob him as there was no mention of them robbing the store. So I now ask Why was it necessary and permissible for the officer to take a second job as a rent-a-cop (literally)? Maybe I answered the question already in the first word of this article…

Texas:
Cop Kills an Eighth Grader, at the middle school.
Ok, it has crossed my mind a few times that some kid needs to be put down but those thoughts were generally present as I was having my butt handed to me by some group of punks on my way home from school. But this was Texas, and the kid went to school and punched some other kid in the face then pulled out a gun. (I wonder how difficult his commute home had been?)
Officers arrive and meet the kid with his gun in hand…OMG are there questions now! How many officers?, Were the commands he (the kid) was given clear and distinct (YES), given by only one person (NO, three voices all saying the same thing)? Was there a lot of shouting and chaos? (mostly from the school administrator) Did the kid point the gun at an officer or was he waving it around, or just holding it to his side? What was the emotional state of the kid? was he red-faced yelling (I did not hear him yelling), or lip-sucking crying or where in the middle?
The officer felt threatened and shot the kid. The gun was retrieved. It was a CO2 BB-gun .177 cal (the standard pellet/BB gun, think the Red Ryder Lever Action BB Gun “you’ll shoot your eye out” caliber) Does it change the perception of the officer? It looked like a real gun.
I don’t have all the answers so I can’t tell you right now if I would have shot the kid or not, but given the right circumstances I would not gamble my life on the possibility it is a toy gun.
The best report I have found is at the brownsvilleherald.com. The call to the 911 dispatcher is pretty scattered and the administrator is handling several calls at the same time as if calling 911 and then directly to the PD. What a stinking mess… of a message. In fact you should listen to it yourself and let me know what you think.

Oklahoma:
An 18 year old mother with infant, her husband died from cancer on Christmas was defending herself and child from an armed man trying to gain entry into her home. She said, “He was going from door to door trying to get in”, “when he came in I shot him” Yea! Good going girl!
The intruder was a 24 year old male armed with a knife and had a male accomplice. He likely knew her husband was recently past and it made her easy pickings. Well I guess not that easy. The interesting part of the story is in OK if the person doing the killing is in the right then the accomplice involved in the illegal act is actually charged with causing the death, in this case First Degree Murder, now that is an odd turn of events. So if you are in OK and decide to take your buddies to do some nasty deed, make sure they stay alive, otherwise you will get stuck with the murder rap.. lol
What have we learned here today… in summary Guns save Lives! But they have to be in your hand and you have to be prepared, they have to be real and don’t point them at the cops (or me), and Don’t ever take a knife to a gun fight as that is just plain stupid.

Have a great Month.. Wow isn’t this year starting out on a high note..?
Comments open.
I went out and bought an all-in-one printer to fill the gap left by my high end, high volume printer as I wait for it to get fixed. I got the All-in-one because i wanted to replace my offic fax also and adding a compact scanner was a nice bonus (saves the space of getting out my portable scanner), I still have the flat bed scanner but that is another story.
This story is unfolding as I sit listening to all the advertising/entertainment/subliminal ‘be happy’ comments on the HP support line. Background: So there I was printing happily and helping a client when BAM le-error. NOOooooo, I can’t be out of ink really this soon, @$#@$. Checking and testing results in a “cartridge error” ahh a bad print cartridge head.
SIDE NOTE: The recording just said,” to get more informaiton contact HP.COM slash AHEMM (a cough) ” I like that URL but I think it may be a litle difficult to ensure proper spelling.
Back to the story: I tried the URL in the new cartridge box but that page does not exist anylonger, humm. So I try searching for the part number on their support site and searchign or “C9351A” I get a part not found error that says I should try searching on a part number… ? whats that about?
more to come later… got other things to do now. 🙂
So what are we doing now? I had first considered a title “How to ease a country into Socalisim” but I guess that lesson may be learned experiencially. The next lesson will be how to have a Democratic Revolution and move away from Socialism.
If anything else the Nov 4 elections provedthat you can motivate the uneducated, lower class, and the youth to vote if you tell them that they will get a share of the wealth. The whole “redistribute the wealth” campaign backed by the mantra of “change”. Many of us are still sitting wondering what exactly is goign to change?
I take solace in the knowledge that Mr. Obama is now learning the reasons we can not cut-n-run out of the various war zones we have gotten stuck in and why we must continue to support Isreal and why Iran is filled with “bad guys”. I can picture him sitting at a big table saying, “we are doing WHAT!?” and “Did they REALLY do THAT!?” and then trying to figure out how to do a spin on all the empty promises he made so the masses don’t turn on him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, stand by, because this ride is just starting.
I have never been one to openly support a political party or support one or another canidate. However, there are some issues in this election that are too Anti-Constitution for me to just sit.
Although I am not a big supporter of either party and typically not much or a supporter of any canidate I have to voice my opinion in opposition to Barak Obama and his record on some Constitutional issues.
I have spoken to several of his supporters; they keep calling my house, and apparently they have, like many other, fallen prey to the hype and flash of his campaign and not looked at his voting record. He is not been doing what he says he will do.
Now just what does that really mean the he “has not been doing what he says he will do”? Well lets look at it this way, an abusive husband/boyfriend says, “Baby I love you I will never do that again” and next week or next month she is battered and beaten again. Do we really, honestly, expect him to change. He is not demonstrating what he says he will do.
If Barack Obama says that he supports hunters but includes their ammunition in an ammunition ban is he supporting or not. I say not; Such as I support your right to have a gun, but you are not allowed to use it. I support your right to defend yourself as long as you dont hurt the other person.
Obama openly states that he wants to get the illegal guns out of the inner-city areas. GREAT, ME TOO! Let’s collect the little criminals and lock their butts away, let’s track down the illegal gun dealers and put the hammer down on using guns to commit crimes. BUT Obama thinks that to remove the guns you need to make a law that states you can not have a gun in the city limits. Now just who is going to abide by that law?
The honest citizen that follows the rules will always follow the rules because that is who they are. A Criminal will consistently not follow the rules (that is what makes them a criminal). Correct me if I am wrong but it is already illegal rob a store, mug a person, invade another persons house to steal, and rape is illegal too. The law allows for a higher penalty if a gun is used in the commission of that crime. Has that law stopped any criminal from using a gun to commit that crime? NO! Because they don’t follow the rules anyway.
So if it is illegal to possess a gun in the inner-city, just who is going to follow that law? The law abiding citizen will. And who will be left with the guns? That’s right, the criminal. Because that is what they are.
So a person that votes against your right to have a firearm, votes to put you in prison if you use a gun to protect yourself, votes against your right to have a gun in your home, but says “I’m not going to take your guns” can not be trusted to do as they say.
Your being abused, and you will continue to be abused because that is the history of their action, irrelevant of their words. Obama is on record saying , “Even if I want to take them [guns] away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2076057/posts)%20does) does this mean that if he could muster the votes he would?
Here’s a few links for you to take a look at:
Obama and the Second Amendment (the first ten are supposed to be sacred, remember?) Obama’s Second Amendment Stance
The Obama campaign doesn’t like the First Amendment when it is used to expose skeletons.
Obama Campaign issues a Cease and Desist Letter to stop the truth of his words from being revealed
Crime is rampant in England because of their inability to control criminal behavior and the violent attacks with knives and clubs increased when they took away the citizens guns. Criminals use guns as a tool of intimidation. If the victim is intimidated then they comply, people think they can not fight against a gun so they give up. They do think they can fight against a knife and very often they become mortally wounded for thinking that way. If the victim is not intimidated then the criminal attacks with a high level of violence but that is for another posting.

I am compelled to pass this on. Here is the original release from the NRA news letter.
——

If you are close by call them, get information about taking the class. Even if you don’t want the CCW consider taking the class and receiving the training in safety and weapons handling. Who knows you may be lucky enough to disarm the assailant, wouldn’t it be a good thing to know how to use HIS gun against him?
The NV CCW can be issued to residents and non-residents, many states are now accepting the NV CCW as a valid license to carry concealed in their state.

What is a teacher/instructor? Did your teachers in school have all the answers? They may have acted as if they did. I definitely remember the ones that had an agenda. I remember them like you remember breaking a leg or finger, the constant pain that encourages you to not Ever do that again. The instructors I respect were the ones that were great facilitators. I remember them in a different way; a memory that sets a goal to emulate them as best as I can. Usually falling very short, by my own expectations, but that is what drives me to continually improve.
How we learn is an interesting topic of study. I am not even going to scratch the surface of that here because there are volumes on learning (a lot of crap too) most of the academics regarding learning are simply guidelines. In the end no one can say it is best to teach this skill like “A” or like “B”. It all boils down to being “Learner Dependant”. The instructors role is to present the information in a fashion that the greatest number of students can receive , process, and then internalize the content. The skilled instructors are the ones that have some mastery of communication.
ok, this may sound a little like I was behind the curve but… well ok I was. I got Dish TV, that is not a bad thing actually as I have been pretty happy with it and the service. The model I have is the DVR with two receivers; one uses ir (infrared) signals and the other uses a radio signal. Herein lies the rub, the radio signal must make it through several layers of housing material and furniture in order to control the unit. The measly little weak antenna is insufficient and its placement in the back of the uint, subsequently in the back of my entertainment center makes it even less effective. The antenna design is really very simple, it is an extension of the core of a standard TV coxial. To the antenna port I attached a co-ax cable that reached to an area that has better reception, I attached a female connector to the cable end and then attached the antenna. Like magic it works, and it works well.
Miss that old college attitude now that you are grown up and have a real life. Found a new group that just announced what they have been doing for the past year…. going to school and drinking Beer.. lol go figure. They meet at the end of each of their 5 week classes as they continue their education as adults. It is at the least an attempt to hang out after finals. Remember the party after finals, well at the UOP you have a final every five weeks so why not use it as a reasonable excuse fo a little play time. Check it out at http://The5thWeek.com Their site is not totally complete yet but I think it will be pretty cool when finished.
I joined a new Native American Flute Circle, DesertCloud.net. For those interested in this ancient wind instrument you know hwat I am talking about. The rest of you are likely a bit confused. They are at their simplest form a wooden flute, see shadesofrez.com and you will see what I am describing. A tube made of wood consisting of an airchamber and five to six hole drilled such that each hold can be covered individually by the player.
There are a couple of semi-pro musicians in the group and they are really into teaching others how much fun playing this simple instrument is, of course to hear them play it sounds anything but simple. I have discoverd that the whole flute playing community is pretty much the same way. Everyone hangs out to have a nice time and jam for a while, healping and teaching eachother. Even the “recognized pros” I have met are the same way. Maybe you should look into it and let me know what you think.
