  1. I would not want an car like that Windseeker. There is not enough side protection.
  2. Electric cars are every day vehicles for daily duties. Most people do not travel over 80 miles per day. Gasoline cars are for the long trips. The Tesla electric cars are amazing. They have a range of about 150 miles on a full charge. But they are priced at about $57,000.
  3. Following electric cars has become a side hobby of mine. I just discovered an American made low speed electric car priced at about $19,995. The top speed of the car is 65 miles per hour and the range on a full charge is about 90 to 100 miles. It is the Wheego Whip electric car. It seats two and weighs a mere 2,828 pounds. It looks much better than the Smart Cars in my opinion. When the batteries go the estimated replacement cost is about $2,700.

  4. The newest twist on the legendary saying seems to go something like this: He robs asphalt from the city and fills in the poor holes that plague the streets. And while a “Pothole Robin Hood” he may very well be to his supporters, Ron Chane won’t be getting spiritual advice from Friar Tuck anytime soon…and Jackson, Mississippi, most definitely isn’t Sherwood Forest. Because Chane—who’s made a name for himself lately by taking what he says is asphalt from the city of Jackson so he and his girlfriend can fill its potholes—is under police investigation for his actions.

  5. Remember the Third Amendment? You know, the part of the U.S. Constitution that goes like this: “No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” Well, a Henderson, Nevada, family in a recent lawsuit claims that their Third Amendment rights were violated on July 10, 2011, when police officers commandeered their homes and arrested two family members for “obstruction.” We will be discussing this story and all the day’s news on our live BlazeCast beginning at 2:00pm ET: “Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors,” Reason explains. The Las Vegas Review Journal provides details on the domestic violence situation police officers were dealing with on that blistering summer day: Read more here: Third Amendment Violated? Nev.

  6. In my mind if you do not want to get pregnant do not have sexual relations. If a woman is raped or is a victim of incest she can still terminate the pregnancy for 140 days. It is sad how many do not view life as a wonderful miracle. Some people believe if they make bad choices they are then going to be "punished with a baby." Adoption is also an option.
  7. Congratulations to women. You may now get to experience the horrors of front line combat which is an experience that is probably the most traumatic, gruesome event that will ever happen in your life. It is something I have no desire to ever experience.
  8. If you want online support with this issue I would recommend the Latter-Day Saint Addiction recovery program. Visit LDSAR.org - LDS Addiction Recovery through writing, blogging, and sharing There are many people who struggle with controlling their bodies. One truth to never forget is do not ever give up. If you slip just get up and keep trying.
  9. Hello Tobie, welcome to the forums. I read what you did in the other thread. It was an honest mistake. It was okay.
  10. Call your Representative in the House and both of your Senators. Tell them this: I am very concerned about the activities of National Security Agency during the past several years. They are gathering large amounts of data on the common American citizens’ phone calls, e-mails and Internet activities. This really raises a red flag of alarm for me. We have a right to be secure in our persons, houses, and papers, against unreasonable searches and seizures. The National Security Agency is searching and seizing data about our personal lives without our consent. There is no probable cause for this type of behavior on the general American public. I urge you to support action against the National Security Agency. Defund these outrageous activities and use legislation to overturn this abuse of power. Support the Constitution, liberty and our rights as Americans.
  11. Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin (1917–2008) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained that spiritual insensitivity isn’t just a problem for those with serious sin: “I fear that some members of the Lord’s Church ‘live far beneath our privileges’ with regard to the gift of the Holy Ghost. Some are distracted by the things of the world that block out the influence of the Holy Ghost, preventing them from recognizing spiritual promptings. This is a noisy and busy world that we live in. Remember that being busy is not necessarily being spiritual. If we are not careful, the things of this world can crowd out the things of the Spirit. “Some are spiritually deadened and past feeling because of their choices to commit sin. Others simply hover in spiritual complacency with no desire to rise above themselves and commune with the Infinite. If they would open their hearts to the refining influence of this unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, a glorious new spiritual dimension would come to light. Their eyes would gaze upon a vista scarcely imaginable.” They could know for themselves things of the Spirit that are choice, precious, and capable of enlarging the soul, expanding the mind, and filling the heart with inexpressible joy” (in Conference Report, April 2003, or Ensign, May 2003, 27).
  12. I have heard some of this stuff on the Christian radio broadcast in Utah. A lot of these people talk about how they never knew the LORD until they left the L.D.S. faith. I think a lot of these people did not have a testimony or if they did they allowed it to die because they did not nourish it. II Nephi 1:13–23. Awake from “the Sleep of Hell” Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments allows Satan to deceive us, and we forget the light and truth we have previously learned. President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency described this dangerous condition: “One of the effects of disobeying God seems to be the creation of just enough spiritual anesthetic to block any sensation as the ties to God are being cut. Not only [does] the testimony of the truth slowly erode, but even the memories of what it was like to be in the light [begin] to seem . . . like a delusion” (“A Life Founded in Light and Truth,” Brigham Young University 2000–2001 Speeches, page 81).
  13. An 18 year old is an adult. They should know better than to try to have sexual relations with someone who is under the age of 18. A part of our society will degenerate more and more because they continue to reject God and His commandments that keep a society together.
  14. That would be a bad day. Hope the insurance covers the automobile replacement.
  15. If it is the right job I hope you get it. I hope you are not unemployed presently.
  16. I heard Federal Security Agency personnel were listening to phone sex going on between soldiers' calls to loved ones who were at home. It makes you wonder if they have also turned on cellular phones to cameras that were in the privacy of a married couples' bedroom to watch what was going on. This is not America anymore in my opinion. I am very bothered by this.
  17. I said this in another thread BlackMarch but I will say it again. We have the right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. If an authority does want information on us a warrant should be issued upon probable cause and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. This data mining on the common citizen is horrendous and only leads down a bad road. Knowledge is power. No one can be trusted with this much power. This system needs to be dismantled. It is a set up for an eventual totalitarian government.
  18. The Internal Revenue Service has been abusing the American people for decades. It is time to abolish the organization, simplify the tax code and just have the State governments collect the tax money. The Federal tax dollars can then be passed to the Federal government through the States. The I.R.S. is unneeded and has proven it is untrustworthy with the power it has been given.
  19. Be Aware: Car Thieves Are Using Some Kind of Universal Car Remote…And Cops Are ‘Stumped’ The thief walks right up to the locked sports utility vehicle parked in the driveway. It’s hard to see, but police say he aims something at the passenger-side door. Just like that, the lock clicks, the lights come on and the thief is in the car. Then, an accomplice shows up and does the same thing to the other car in the driveway, all captured by security camera. Police in Long Beach, Calif. admit they’re baffled by the break-ins. “This is bad in the sense we’re stumped,” Long Beach Deputy Police Chief David Hendricks told NBC's "Today." “We are stumped and we don’t know what this technology is.” It seems to be some kind of universal car remote, overriding the car’s built-in encryption security. Thieves have used the technology from California to Illinois, according to “Today.” “I felt pretty unsafe,” said Michael Shin, whose Honda Accord was breached. “It was shocking. It just opens magically without him having to do anything.” Even more mystifying: the device seems to works on some cars, but not on others. More footage shows a Ford SUV and a Cadillac remaining locked, but an Acura opens right away. The device also seems only to work on the passenger-side door. “We’ve reached out to the car manufacturers, the manufacturers of the vehicle alarm systems. Nobody seems to know what this technology is,” Hendricks said. “When you look at the video and you see how easy it is, it’s pretty unnerving.” Be Aware: Car Thieves Are Using Some Kind of Universal Car Remote…And Cops Are ‘Stumped’ | Video | TheBlaze.com --------------------------------------------- It seems having all the electronic locks disconnected in a car is the only solution. Use manual keys instead.
  20. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. --------------------------------------- This data mining on the common citizen is horrendous and only leads to bad.

  21. Report: Nine Internet Firms Giving Data to Government Thursday, 06 Jun 2013 06:53 PM By Greg Richter It's not just your cell phone calls. Nine Internet companies have been giving your emails, videos, photos and more to the NSA and FBI, The Washington Post reports. The classified program PRISM began in 2007 and has signed on Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. Cloud storage website Dropbox is set to join soon. PRISM has become the biggest contributor to President Barack Obama's Daily Brief, the Post reports, with a total of 1,447 articles in 2012. One in seven intelligence reports are based on PRISM data. The program descends from a program in the 1970s in which 100 American companies worked with the government, though PRISM is more like the controversial warrantless surveillance efforts undertaken after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. PRISM attempts to use formulas to avoid gathering data from Americans, but the system isn't perfect. And while compliance by the companies is voluntary, the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court can force compliance. Apple resisted participation for five years, and Twitter has never joined. The Post said it obtained information on the program from a career intelligence officer who believes the program is a serious invasion of privacy. "They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type," the officer told the Post. Reuters reports that both Apple and Facebook deny knowing anything about the PRISM program and say they do not allow any government agency "direct access" to their servers.

  22. Are you in the Information Technology Field Skippy? I was thinking of the exact same solution you posted.
  23. My wife was laid off recently as a worker who did Data Entry at home. The company had poor management and lost a lot of its contracts. It laid a lot of its work force as a result. Can anyone give me some job leads for her? She is wanting about 20 hours a week at home. No phone calls, just data entry. Does anyone know of any leads? I have been looking around on the Internet and seem to just be finding scams.
  24. I really do not like the policy that is being implemented by the Boy Scouts. The door is slowly being opened to a bad path. The Boy Scouts organization is going to be left by the L.D.S. church in the future. I can see the writing on the wall.
  25. Good video you posted. I really like this one:
