    They make that up there, only with lobster.

    It differs depending on the region. A trinity in cooking is simply a combination of three aromatic ingredients, whether they are vegetables, herbs or spices, that are gently sauteed together to provide a flavor base for other ingredients to build upon. The original Trinity is called a...

    The USDOT already knows the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, because they wrote the definition. And the Highway Patrol already knows the definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle because it's a law and they read it. A judge or an attorney will show the definition to a jury so then they'll...

    Craving Sugar?

    Having a craving for a specific food is the surest sign I know of to not eat that food.

    Just another reason for ccw!

    You said to shoot first and ask question later. To shoot first before asking any questions implies that you are suggesting that one should shoot someone before determining why you are shooting them, and instead are shooting them on a pure assumption of something that may or may not even occur...

    Louisiana Cajuns

    Correct. That part of Canada used to be called Arcadia. So Cajuns didn't technically come from Canada, they came from Acadia. French explorer Giovanni da Verrazrano (same guy the Verrazarano-Narrows Bridge was named after) created a map where he named the entire east coast north of Virginia as...

    Just another reason for ccw!

    Shoot who first, exactly? The person who might blindside you? You advocating shooting anyone and everyone on the street because they might blindside you? Anyone who might be walking in your general direction?

    My children come home crying

    HOW the Lord's Prayer is used in someone's life or their lifestyle is irrelevant to my statement. In order to make the case that the Lord's Prayer espouses Christianity, you MUST go outside of the prayer itself and use other sources to do so. There is not one word or one phrase in that prayer...

    Religion's stance? On the whole? No. One small subset of a particular religion? Yes. There are religions that believe the world to be millions or billions of years old, and they believed that long before science confirmed it. There are also religions that believe The Flintstones is a...

    My children come home crying

    The definition of meaningless is, without meaning, significance, purpose, or value; purposeless; insignificant. To an agnostic or an atheist, that's precisely what the Lord's Prayer is. I don't disagree with any of that. But by that doesn't by inference mean the Lord's Prayer is damaging. There...

    My children come home crying

    I never asserted any such thing. In fact, if asked, I will tell you that children and adults both are absolutely affected by what they see and hear. By everything they see and hear. Radio, television and print advertising illustrates that point very well. What I said was, I've never seen nor...

    My children come home crying

    Sorry Moose, but you had to go to the New Testament in the Bible and to Wikipedia to find a Christian connection to the Lord's Prayer and how Christianity instructs people to use the prayer, and the religious context of the prayer itself. But there is nothing in the The Lord's Prayer that...

    Students disciplined for self defense

    I think not knowing the rule in this case is a legitimate excuse, since the residence isn't actually owned by the university, but rather is off-campus housing leased by the university for the students.

    Yep. It's human nature. She's not using any common sense at all, she's simply trying to get her way using, as Leo says, a phony excuse. Just look at her comments in the letter she wrote: “As a society and a school community we strive to teach acceptance of others and the importance of...

    Looking For Advice

    The actual reason is, when they tow a loaded commercial vehicle, they're hauling freight. Very few AAA towing contractors have that authority and the insurance for it. Many near the border do, but other than that not so much. From the AAA Contract: Unloaded commercial and rental vehicles with...

    If you don't know that, then quite frankly you have no business being in this business. The answer to that can be found in any CDL Driver Handbook from any state, at the California DMV Web site, the FMCSA's Web site, and in the US Code of Federal Regulations part 49.

    No it doesn't. It says you must have a Motor Carrier Permit. The permit is issued to the motor carrier as evidence of the registration with the DMV of their Carrier Identification number (CA#), as required by CVC Section 34620. Additionally, the permit verifies the motor carrier has met all of...

    The California Motor Carrier Permit does not define CMV, as was suggested above. Needing a permit to haul property does not make you a CMV. A permit defines what you are allowed to do, not what vehicle you do it in. In New York, if your vehicle engages in commerce you have to have commercial...

    My favorite burger is the... Fatburger

    I like Five Guys and Backyard Burgers and Whataburger. Fuddruckers has an excellent burger, freshly butchered and ground beef. In the Cleveland area, Michael Symon's (he's an Iron Chef) B Spot Burgers has been voted best burgers in America the last three years running, for good reason...
