    Be quiet you women

    Sounds just like Christianity. From the beginning of time, woman has tried to take leadership from the man. Genesis 3:16 refers to Eve’s new sin drive to override her husband’s headship, which has continued down the line of women. Women use many tactics to try taking control of leadership...

    How not to help the poor

    Nope. From 1962 to 1991 Cuba was officially an Atheist State, but in 1991 they declared themselves to be a Secular State. Throughout that time up until today, 60-70 percent of Cubans are Afro-Cuban Catholic, which is a mixture of African religions and Catholicism. 15-20 percent are Protestant...

    November winds of change, banter, and a surprise whoopee cushion

    What is distracted driving? Distraction occurs when a driver voluntarily diverts attention to something not related to driving that uses the driver's eyes, ears, or hands. There are four types of driver distraction: • Visual -- looking at something other than the road Trooper Gordon...

    Ammunition control part 2

    Not only could it apply, it does apply to nearly all of the network and cable news shows. The only networks where the news shows stick to the Five Ws and refrain from interjecting opinion into the stories are the BBC and, ironically, Al Jazera. The results of the ratings speak for themselves...

    Canada Getting searched by Border Patrol

    They don't have to have probable cause to search your truck, on either side of the border. They can also just take your computer and smartphone if they want, without even reasonable suspicion. It's called the "border search exemption" (or border search doctrine) and allows US Customs and...

    Ammunition control part 2

    Lead mining in and of itself isn't all that deadly. It's found in ores containing copper, as well as silver and zinc. It's just big rocks. But it's the smelting using roasting and then coke-fired blast furnaces that is the problem. Doe Run is developing a wet electrochemical process that...

    If you could splurge on anything...

    This thread is about answering the question posed, for the purposes of obtaining some quotes suitable for inclusion in the Expedite NOW Magazine, not about confronting someone over how they choose to spend their money. The very context of the question posed is about splurging on something, and...

    Did I handle this right?

    The key is to learn the rules and use them to your advantage. That includes knowing when your clock starts. Dispatch is concerned with getting leads covered, Safety is concerned with your clock. You need to know your clock in order to use dispatch to your advantage. If you know your clock, and...

    An empty suit

    It's quite impossible to know whether or not you like a post without even reading it, so such a comment is rather asinine. "If you don't like it, don't comment on it," would at least make sense. However, whether it's liked or not has no bearing on its appropriateness. Wishfully invoking the name...

    Ammunition control part 2

    Yeah, but you have to pay really close attention, because even on the NEWS shows the news is given interspersed with opinion, or factually crafted (sometimes fictionally crafted) to lead your opinion. They tend to be very selective on which facts they choose to report. Rarely do they give a news...

    An empty suit

    Especially since Lee Harvey Oswald didn't even do anything. :D

    Wandering Wifi

    Part of the problem is also their use of outdated 802.11b routers, which already have severely limited broadcast range. Even the few locations with 802.11n (none that I know of have 802.11ac) are configured to be backwards compatible with b and g devices. Very few locations have separate routers...

    Ammunition control part 2

    There's more to that story, and it's got nothing to do with ammunition control. It has to do with the fact that Doe Run has been pumping out lead dust with abandon for decades. Half the town is sick from lead poisoning. Trucks leaving the plant have an average 3 pounds of lead dust on them. The...

    Can anyone give me the 411 on Heavy Weight Enterprises-Fleet Owner with Panther?

    If you're sitting in Chattanooga, why is the IP address of the computer you are using (a) the same IP as rawans33, and (b) not anywhere near TN?

    It Takes Years of Training

    Intonation is basically pitch, but it's more than that especially with the voice. It's how the pitch is presented, and in voice, how the tonal part of the word is sung. In linguistics, intonation is the variation of the spoken word not used to distinguish the words themselves, but instead...

    It Takes Years of Training

    Ten, twenty years of training to sing like this. But she didn't have that. Not any of it. No formal training whatsoever. And certainly not ten or twenty years of it, because she's only nine years old. She learned to sing this way by watching YouTube videos. And her intonation and phrasing are...

    The affordable care act failure

    What makes you think it's a failure? Obamacare is awash with mandates, regulations, taxes, and fees which drives up the cost of the insurance plans that are offered under the public exchanges. A thorough analysis shows that, on average, the cheapest plan offered in a given state, under...

    Age limit for passenger?

    No, there is no age limit, at least not one from the FMCSA. Your carrier may impose one, however. In any case, a guest rider release form will have to be signed by you and the legal guardian of the minor child.
