Ok, call me a right wing asshole if you want....
But seriously, what the holy blue f**k is the point of this? Safer flashlights? For who, the criminals? Kiss MY ass.
The idea for the 7060 LED flashlight was conceived just days after news cameras broadcast images of LAPD officers beating car-theft suspect Stanley Miller with a two-pound, two-foot long standard issue police flashlight.
Police Chief William Bratton banned the large flashlights after Miller's 2004 beating and called for manufacturers to create a smaller, brighter flashlight.
The new 10-inch, $100 flashlight was developed and manufactured by the Torrance-based company Pelican to meet LAPD specifications. It will feature both a standard "patrol mode" and an ultra-light "tactical mode" that is bright enough to temporarily blind suspects. (emphasis mine --Ed.)
As far as I'm concerned, in most cases if a cop feels the need to beat down a suspect, he better have a weapon to do it with. THAT'S WHY THE G*D DAMNED THINGS WERE TWO FEET LONG AND WEIGHED TWO POUNDS IN THE FIRST F**KING PLACE.
HELLO????
Dear ACLU b*tches, let me ask you this: If some crazy f**k comes to your house and tries to break in and harm you, would you rather the cop had a piddly ass weenie light or a big honkin' MO FO light that he could whack the f**ker with rather than shooting him (or possibly you in the process)?
Can't we let the cops be the cops? Here's a hint: if the cops are chasing someone, it's likely they did something VERY VERY BAD.
PC run amok. Soon we will all be defenseless, when even the cops lose the ability to subdue the bad guys.

Yea, what part of a criminal being a bad guy did the ACLU miss? Why are they always seeking to protect the guilty and slaughter the innocent? Fucking commies.

The article seems like a parody ("Cops May No Longer Use Anything To Subdue Fleeing Criminals"). Could be part of that new program, Operation Fully-Disarm-Law-Enforcement.

I think Dogette has nailed it. In they're zealousness to protect all criminals - the ACLU is working to fully disarm law enforcement. Pretty soon they won't even be able to carry guns. ARG!!!!

The ACLU also needs to recognize the vital need cops have for force short of lethal force. If someone rushes at you who may or may not be armed, with a split second in which to act, and the only choice is between your fists and your gun, someone is going to die, and it's not going to be the cop.

Oh come on, CTG, where's your compassion for the bad guys? Don't you know they probably had troubled childhoods,... and they probably weren't breast-fed, and their fathers probably beat them. Ohhhhhh poooooor them!

Years ago when I was on the force we used to carry the two double a mag lights on our belts, but we had collapsible batons (asps). Which were used for helping to subdue hostiles and break things... like car windows when someone was trapped inside a burning car.
I believe our local force still carries those.

From one right-wing a$$hole to another...WTF???? As the sister of a cop, if you're going to make the cops get a smaller flashlight, get this one. It may be small, but it has a beam powerful enough to blind the m'f'n' idiot, and then nice little teeth at the end to jaggedly cut someone open, if necessary.

This has been rattling around in my little pea brain since I first saw this post. One of my favorite paragraphs of all time: Imagine if a friend, or even a son or brother, told you, "Hey, guess what I did last night? I stole a car and then I stole a cop car, I shot at some cops (presumably family men), and resisted arrest every step of the way." My response would be: A) "I hope they beat your ass"; B) "Gee, did they beat your ass?"; C) "How come they didn't beat your ass?"; or D) "Come with me right now so I can take you down to the station so they can beat your ass." There is no E) none of the above. That's not to say I favor police beatings, but sometimes I'm not overly bothered either.
14
All I know is, if a cop is unable to use a flashlight or baton to help subdue a resisting suspect, the odds increase that he'll have to use deadly force.
Somehow I don't think the ACLU has thought it through.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Think happy thoughts -- UPDATED
I'm off to the dentist to get my top 2 wisdom teeth out. You know, the ones they told me I'd never get in the first place? The ones that kick in my gag reflex whenever I try to brush them? The authors of my maxillary sinus issues? Yep. Them. Between my general white coat syndrome, LOATHING of dentists ( I once prostrated myself on the floor and made my mother carry me to the car to go to the dentist. Ok, I was 4.), hatred of anesthesia (professional prejudice), and fear of severe pain, I am Nervous Nelly #1.
Feel free to beseech the benevolent deity of your choice to smile on me and keep the pain down, regardless of whether I get a codeine prescription or not.
UPDATE: I'm back. Gauze packed firmly in place. Mouth is waking up, and so far the worst pain is from my face where he stretched my face on the right side. My teeth were so far back that he couldn't reach them with the tools he had planned to use..... ay yi yi. I was crying.....
But the teeth each came out in one piece, so that's good. The right one took 20 minutes, the left one took like 3 minutes. Funny that.

Oh! Sending lots of happy thoughts your way, CTG. I hope you'll be under for the procedure.. It will be OK. Make sure hubby goes to get you a nice cooling slushy from 7-11, or something equally yummy and cold!!

I had 2 of those out also. They were both on the same side... one top, one bottom. Actually, the worst part was that my daughter was 3 years old. So, my husband takes me home and then has to head to work.
Whereupon darling daughter decided to plug up the toilet and over flow the stupid thing all over the floor by using an entire roll of TP. *sigh* It wasn't like she'd never been to the bathroom by herself before. One can only assume she thought she wasn't getting enough attention.
So, there I was, mouth stuffed with cotton gauzy junk, cleaning the bathroom... hauling rugs to the basement (from the top floor of the townhouse we were in) to wash them. And darling daughter saying, "I'm sorry mommy... the water is on the floor". heh.

Never mind Norma, I misread. I thought you'd had all four OUT.

Tears in (Blue) Heaven for Carolina's Mascot
Rameses the Ram has died.
Jason Ray as Rameses Courtesy TarHeelBlue.com
Jason Ray, the Carolina senior who portrayed mascot Rameses the Ram during sports and other events over the last three years has died today of injuries he sustained last week in a bizarre car crash just before the Tar Heels' Sweet Sixteen appearance in the NCAA tournament.
Jason Ray [...] had been in critical condition since the accident on Route 4 on Friday afternoon. He had been in New Jersey for the men's NCAA Tournament game between North Carolina and Southern California at Continental Airlines Arena.
Steve Kirscher, UNC's associate athletics director for communications, said Ray died at 8:38 a.m. Monday.
According to police, Ray left his hotel to go to a nearby convenience store Friday afternoon, and was walking back along Route 4 when he was struck from behind by an SUV. The driver stopped immediately to call 911. No charges have been filed.
Police said Gagik Hovsepyan, 51, the driver who hit Ray, had a valid driver's license and did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. His son was asleep in the SUV at the time, police said.
To be clear, Jason was dressed in street clothes and was well off the main roadway at the time of the accident.
Jason had played the part of Rameses Ram for three years and was about to graduate with a degree in Business Administration, and a minor in Religion. I myself have chased him around, hoping to get a picture with my favorite mascot.
Jason Ray as Rameses crowd surfs at UNC basketball, Coutesy TarHeelBlue.com
Carolina's official sports web page, TarHeelBlue.com has a nice tribute to Jason written by Adam Lucas:
Communication, of course, is one of the hardest parts of being a
mascot. That fall day at the Children's Hospital, Ray--as
Rameses--walked up to me. His big paw was grasping a folded piece of
paper, and he was making a motion I didn't understand.
I eventually figured out he wanted me to hold the paper for
him until the event was over. Once all the kids had been hugged and the
last picture had been taken, Rameses finally disappeared...and Jason
Ray reappeared.
"Thanks for holding that picture," he said. As he unfolded it, he proudly displayed a child's drawing of Rameses.
"I'd like to take this with me, if that's OK," he told the program coordinator. "One of the patients gave it to me."
Then he walked out, big bulky trash bag in one hand, picture in
the other. It was the perfect portrait of someone who had spent most of
the day giving...and unexpectedly received something, too.
Jason was clearly that kind of person. It showed in the way he portrayed Rameses. Always kind to the children, funny with adults, willing to play the joke on himself if it entertained the crowd. I never met Jason, or his predecessors in the suit during my time at UNC, but I always wished I could let them know that I respected them as much as the players on the field or court. Being the mascot is a really tough job.
This is the second terrible roadside tragedy to hit the Tar Heel sports family in four years. Sideline reporter and UNC alum Stephen Gates was killed in a hit and run on the side of the interstate in Chapel Hill in October 2003.
This just highlights the importance of roadside safety. Be aware, use the sidewalk where possible, and remember Jason and Stephen.
Brother, can you spare a moment?
The internets are a funny thing, they bring us so close to people and places we would never have otherwise known. That can be a wonderful thing. The real shit of it, though, is when the people you care for are so far away, there is little you can do except offer a virtual hug and some words of comfort. But what makes it better is the ability to reach out to others and let them help you give those hugs and words.

Geeks love Metal
Well, DUH. Especially if by "metal" you mean bands like Queen:
Researchers questioned more than 1,000 members of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth, whose members rank among the brightest five percent of youngsters in Britain.
"There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading.
"I think that is an inaccurate stereotype," Stuart Cadwallader, a University of Warwick psychologist who is presenting the findings to the British Psychological Society Wednesday, told the Daily Telegraph.
"We are looking at a group with lower than average self-esteem that does not feel quite as well adjusted.
"They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way of relieving that stress."
Cadwallader added that heavy metal fans often appreciate the "complex and sometimes political themes" of the music.
"It has a tendency to worry adults a bit but I think it's just a cathartic thing," he said.
"It does not indicate problems."
Many of heavy metal's biggest stars are closet geeks -- Brian May, guitarist with Queen, is currently finishing a doctorate in astrophysics, while Iron Maiden star Bruce Dickinson is a history graduate, international fencer and qualified commercial pilot.

The fact is, aside from a handful scary guys like Pete Steele from Type O Negative, most metal musicians are former AV and/or band geeks in high school, and tend to be short and skinny. I ran with a metal crowd, and none of us were athletes, nor were we burners or delinquents. We were the kids who skipped dances and listened to the brand new Iron Maiden album while drinking a couple of Dad's beers.
BTW, I'm 41 and still a rabid metalhead. SLAYER!

First big one... no matter what the realtor says... NEVER look at a house out of your price range. Just don't do it. It will always look wonderful and you'll know you can't afford it. I don't care if you are best buddies, they will always try to show you something - at least one place - you can't afford. (I think it's tatooed in their genetic code... I've never figured out why they do this)
Forget what people have in a place. The show House Hunters is interesting when you watch the morons who look at a room and say - "I hate the color" - GEEZE! Paint is your friend - rooms can always change colors - curtains can be changed. Now bad windows, or flooring, THAT is expensive to change. Wallpaper can be a real bitch, especially if you damage the walls taking it off.
Look at the layout and compare it with how you live. Will the television being on in one room blare through the whole place? Is there at least one "away room" where you can do quiet things?
Size doesn't matter as much as how the place feels. Room proportions, windows, kitchen set up, bathroom set up, laundry... You very likely won't get everything you want (if you do, let me know cause I haven't found a house like that yet!), but look for the one that comes as close as possible.
Trust your nose! Walk into a place and sniff - you're trying to detect musty-moldy smells, bad animal smells that might not be easily defeated. The house of a smoker will likely need complete repainting and even possibly new carpets or the smell will drive a non-smoker insane. (if you get a basement - it's especially important to note the smell down there - it WILL waft upstairs)
Look at the ceilings and down into the corners. You shouldn't see any cracking or peeling paint or discolored areas that look like they've been wet. If you have a basement with a sewer pipe running outside... does it show any signs of leakage? Look in the attics for signs of a leaking roof - not to mention - bats or other small animals.
Look at the street - how noisy is it? Is it a "pass-through"? What do the cars look like? What do the yards look like? Is it near any large noise making area? School? Church? both bring people and lots of traffic at various times. Everyone has different things they don't mind living with that would make someone else crazy.
Don't skip a good house inspection - it will help to save you from huge bills after the purchase.
I think that's enough to start with. There's so much it's almost scary to think about buying. Let me know if you have any questions. *grin*

Seems that Teresa got it pin'd down. Particularly getting a house inspection. Well worth the money. Things I looked for in my home... outlets... where are they located? Vent over the oven, does it go outside or back int he kitchen)? fuse box location? vents for air conditioning (if there is a walk in closet, is a vent located there?)? I hated my last kitchen because the sink, oven, fridge did NOT work for me. Closets close to bathrooms... and the list could go on. Look at what you like now and what you would change. And absolutely do NOT look at houses outside of what YOU want to pay.

Be prepared for unbelievable stress. No one warned me just how stressed out I'd be. Hubby and I rarely fight. We were at each other's throats during the buying process. And I cried from stress every damn night. Find time to de-stress together, and don't blame each other for the stress.
Truly, I wish someone had told me how difficult buying a house would be on our marriage.
Then again, maybe we had so much stress because we were also selling a house. And because my MIL was also in the equation.
Good luck, sweetie.

Agreed on the alcohol thing but don't drink on closing day. Just drink in the evenings.
Don't let your conservative side be too much on the top. Yes, you are going to have to pay for ridiculous things and that will not change on your one small house sale. Yes, you'll have to pay for the privilege of conducting a sale, then you'll have to pay for a clerk to do his or her job related to the sale which you have already been paying for in taxes THEN you'll have to pay for insurance that covers the costs if that clerk (for whom you've already paid, twice now) does not do his/her job correctly.
For closing day, you'll want to prelube. They won't expect you to have done it, and it will make the screwing over a lot easier to take. Flexibility exercises ahead of time are a good idea also, since you're going to be in a bent-over position for a while.
However, one year later it will all be a distant memory.
7
The only thing I have to add (besides Congratulations!) is that it always helped me to have a list (written! not just in my head) of my "must haves" -- and then, no matter what (I'll repeat myself - no matter what!) don't compromise on those "must haves". Cause you'll sit there with that very expensive millstone around your neck and curse yourself for not having insisted on such-and-such that house #3 had and blah blah blah.
On the flip side of that - try to keep your "must haves" list fairly short, cause chances are you're not going to find the *perfect* house.

How exciting!
House hunting & buying is a very emotional and draining process. I agree with the idea of having a short list of "must haves." And if there's anything you truly do not want in a home, note that on your list of specs too. Then when you get all ga-ga over a place, refer back to your wishlist for a reality check.
I wanted an older home with a fireplace on a tree-lined street with sidewalks. That's just what I have. The layout sucks, but I still love it. I'm just a romantic sucker though!
Good luck and have fun!

Everyone pretty much said it all...but I do have one piece of advice. If you fall in love with a house, go for it! And it may or may not be the first house you see. When Eric and I were first house shopping when we got married, there was a place we completely fell in love with. It was the first one we saw, and every one told us "don't fall for the first one you see". Well, it turned out to be the "one", but by the time we made an offer (about two weeks later, after seeing a bunch of other places), it was under contract already.
That didn't happen with this house however: once we knew, we didn't want to lose "our" house again and made an offer the next day!
So just go with your gut, and if both you and DH love it, then go for it!

Most of it has been said, but when you think you've found "THE" house, get the best building inspector you can. The money you spend on him will be worth any potential problems he can find and you can avoid.

Walk through the house in the morning, evening and day to see the exact lighting. If you can see it during a heavy rain, that is a bonus.
If you all plan to have children, look at the school system. Actually, homes in good school districts sell easier than those not... so for resale, schools is a good thing to look at.

Because I'm bored with work and trying to be patient...
...waiting for the realtor to call me back....
Anyway, so I finally got the time to catch up on TV this weekend.
WTF with 24? I mean really. They bring back my FAVORITE Character of all time, and he's a f***ing wet nurse to a crazy person? I thought she was dealing better than THAT at the end of last season.
Yeah, I know that was last week. I'm just stuck there.
And did anyone else notice that Ricky Schroeder has that Luke Skywalker thing going on... he used to be cute but all of a sudden he looks WAY old? Hmmmm.
AND DWS (Dancing With the Stars) is back. Finally. I love that show. Yes, people are taking bets about Heather Mills' leg falling off on live TV. Sad. Really sad. As far as she's concerned, if she got all of Paul's $$, why the hell doesn't she have a better prosthetic? I mean you should see the cool robocop/ six million dollar man legs that some Iraq War amputees are getting. And the cheap ass VA pays for those.
In fact the TiVo is about to get quite busy. Deadliest Catch comes back in 10 days, and then LPBW starts the next week. And House returns next Tuesday courtesy of less AI.
So, what are you looking forward to watching this spring?
1
I've about given up on 24 - this week's was pathetic. I may not watch next year. I'll finish this one because I started - but who the hell is writing this crap?
Anyhow, other than 24 I really don't watch much of anything. Maybe some basketball since we're into the March Madness season. I like college sports way more than pro. Most of those guys are still excited to just play.

I was flipping between DWS and 24. Love both shows even though 24 blows as of lately. And I think Doyle is the mole. And if he is, Bou is doing the Chicken Dance!

I need to think of a dance Sissy needs to do if Doyle isn't the mole... I'm thinking the electric slide.
Seen everywhere....
Everyone else has done this one, guess it's my turn...

Friday quiz. Again.
You scored as Passion. You are very passionate whether that passion is good or evil has yet to be determined. You have great power over others and they seem to flock to your service. You are very competative almost to a fault. Perhaps you should let someone else win for a change?

You scored as Eyes full of Pain. People tend to overlook you, which makes you feel less worthy of their attentions. You sometimes wish you could just disapear from the world around you. You have been hurt very badly in the past and you just wish that someone would understand you, and what their cruelty is doing to you.

Not only does communism suck, but so do the stinkin' commie bastids who support communism (which is, and has always been, doomed to failure, thank heavens).
Big ugly donkey balls, indeedilly doodilly.

More Quizzy
In honor of International Eat an Animal for Peta day, have some quizzes which have nothing to do with it, except that in the bible they killed an awful lot of animals.... mostly for food. Funny that.
Similar to the EU and 50 states quizzes posted below.
Hint: In the OT game, add a space to the end of 3 letter words, and in BOTH games, 1st and 2nd books are denoted I and II (that's the letter i) at the FRONT of the name. Good luck!
I love you honey.
Don't worry, she is doing fine and is resting as best she can with a laptop on her lap.
Thank you for the comments
