			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The 37 rules to being a Man'!!! <br />
 <br />
1.) It is OK for a Man to cry under the following circumstances: <br />
 <br />
- When a heroic dog dies to save its master. <br />
- The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse. <br />
- After wrecking your boss' car. <br />
- When she is using her teeth. <br />
<br />
2.) Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his friends. <br />
 <br />
3.) Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours. <br />
<br />
4.) If you've known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her. <br />
<br />
5.) Moaning about the brand of free beer in a friend's fridge is forbidden. Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. <br />
<br />
6.) No Man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another Man. In fact, even remembering your friend's birthday is strictly optional. <br />
<br />
7.) On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. <br />
<br />
8.) When stumbling upon other men watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. <br />
<br />
9.) It is permissible to drink a fruity alcopop drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's free. <br />
<br />
10.) Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another Man in the pills. <br />
<br />
11.) Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. <br />
<br />
12.) Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed. <br />
<br />
13.) If a Man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything. <br />
<br />
14.) Women who claim they &quot;love to watch sports&quot; must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers. <br />
 <br />
15.) A Man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight. <br />
<br />
16.) Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both - that's just mean. <br />
<br />
17.) If you compliment a Man on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer. <br />
<br />
18.) Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response. <br />
<br />
19.) Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another Man while lifting weights: <br />
<br />
- Yeah, Baby, Push it! <br />
- C'mon, give me one more! Harder! <br />
- Another set and we can hit the showers! <br />
<br />
20.) Never talk to a Man in a bathroom - <b>Period</b><br />
<br />
21.) Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary. <br />
<br />
22.) The morning after you and a girl who was formerly &quot;just a friend&quot; have carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to hook up again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was. <br />
<br />
23.) There is no reason for guys to watch Men's Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever. <br />
<br />
24.) When you are queried by a buddy's wife, girlfriend, mother, father, priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are permitted to deny his very existence. <br />
<br />
25.) You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call 'BS!'. <br />
Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent. <br />
<br />
26.) The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale. <br />
<br />
27.) Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party. <br />
<br />
28.) Before dating a buddy's &quot;ex&quot;, you are required to ask his permission and he in return is required to grant it. <br />
<br />
29.) The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. <br />
<br />
30.) A Man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat. <br />
<br />
31.) When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiny friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood. <br />
<br />
32.) If a buddy is outnumbered, out-Manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. <br />
Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, &quot;What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin.&quot;, then you may sit back and enjoy. <br />
<br />
33.) If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him...too gay. <br />
<br />
34.) Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella. <br />
<br />
35.) When a buddy is trying to hook up, you may sabotage him only in a manner that gives you no chance of hooking up either. <br />
<br />
36.) Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a &quot;F--- OFF!&quot; You are absolved of your of responsibility. <br />
<br />
37.) Never, EVER slap or smack another Man. <br />
<br />
Argument with these rules instantly revokes your identity as a man. You're no longer a man and you're out of the man club.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Man Rules!!!!<br />
<br />
These are our rules!<br />
Please note.. these are all numbered &quot;1&quot; ON PURPOSE!!!<br />
<br />
1. Men are NOT mind readers.<br />
<br />
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.<br />
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.<br />
We need it up, you need it down.<br />
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.<br />
<br />
1.. Crying is blackmail.<br />
<br />
1. Ask for what you want.<br />
Let us be clear on this one:<br />
Subtle hints do not work!<br />
Strong hints do not work!<br />
Obvious hints do not work!<br />
Just say it!<br />
<br />
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.<br />
<br />
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.<br />
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.<br />
<br />
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.<br />
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.<br />
<br />
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.<br />
Don't ask us.<br />
<br />
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.<br />
<br />
1. You can either ask us to do something<br />
Or tell us how you want it done.<br />
Not both.<br />
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself..<br />
<br />
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..<br />
<br />
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.<br />
<br />
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.<br />
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.<br />
<br />
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.<br />
We do that.<br />
<br />
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say &quot;nothing&quot;, We will act like nothing's wrong.<br />
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.<br />
<br />
1.. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.<br />
<br />
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .<br />
<br />
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as cars or hockey or football or golf, or UFC etc.<br />
<br />
1.. You have enough clothes.<br />
<br />
1. You have too many shoes.<br />
<br />
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape!<br />
<br />
1. Thank you for reading this.<br />
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;<br />
<br />
<br />
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>All of you who are considered Whackers by those who are Narrow-minded, now may soon come the time to redeem yourselves!  Grab you scanners, camcorders, digi-cams, cellphones, and the like.  Take them with you on Black Friday this year to the local Box Stores and other places and listen in!  You may place yourselves ( at a reasonable distance ) to the action and hopefully ( but not really ) catch the action, like what happened at a Wal-Mart store in NY., last year.  Be ready to capture the attention of local authorities of how valuable Whacker efforts may be in averting such problems as riots and crowds, as seen on popular video shows on TV.  Document everything you see, and come up with ways to help those organizations with these types of events.  Good Luck!</div>

<br />
So this isn't having much do to where i am in my course at this point,<br />
<br />
But i was watching the fugitive, lol, and i am wondering what kind of crimes would make the cops come to a different state and get you?<br />
<br />
Is it only serious felony crimes or would they come for misdemeanor crimes too?<br />
<br />
I am having trouble finding a distinct answer,<br />
<br />
Because i know that the USMS gets the higher end felons, so who gets the fleeing misdemeanor criminals if they are way out of state?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Some of you may remember my last post similar to this.<br />
<br />
I went to wendys earlier(same one as last time), and got my food, I was with my mom and sister.<br />
<br />
I asked for fresh fries, I paid, got  my food and pulled around to the front to eat, my mom said the fries were COLD. OMG! So, I tune into their headset/intercom system, and send my sister in to get fresh fries. <br />
<br />
While she's walking out, the manager is talking to an employee over the headsets saying: &quot;those people that asked for fresh fries came in complaining they were cold, werent they in here before about tthe same thing a couple days ago?&quot; <br />
<br />
Person 2 says &quot;yea, and those fries were warm, they came out like 3 minutes ago.&quot;<br />
<br />
MGR. says &quot;well, those jackasses complain everytime they are here(this is the 3rd time in 4 months and like the 58th time we've been there), just can't make some people happy.&quot;<br />
<br />
So, I drive up to the window, ask for the manager and tell him that their headsets run on 457.xxx Mhz, and tell him they should be more careful about what they say over the headsets. <br />
<br />
He just stands there like a deer in the headlights, playing dumb he asks &quot;what do you mean?&quot;, I point at the scanner, he says &quot;oh, those things...&quot; <br />
<br />
I said &quot;yep, these things&quot; and drove away....<br />
<br />
Lawl....</div>

Protecting Pets from Illness<br />
<br />
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) remind Iowans that in addition to protecting their families, friends and neighbors from the spread of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, it’s important to remember to protect family pets from the illness, as well. People who are sick with H1N1 can spread the virus not only to humans, but to some animals.<br />
<br />
The Departments are sharing this message following the confirmation of a case of H1N1 in an Iowa cat.<br />
<br />
The 13-year-old indoor cat in Iowa was brought to the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where it tested positive for the H1N1 virus. The diagnosis is the culmination of collaborative efforts between IDPH, Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Center for Advanced Host Defenses, Immunobiotics and Translational Comparative Medicine, USDA, and IDALS Animal Industry Bureau.<br />
<br />
“Two of the three members of the family that owns the pet had suffered from influenza-like illness before the cat became ill,” said IDPH Public Health Veterinarian, Dr. Ann Garvey. “This is not completely unexpected, as other strains of influenza have been found in cats in the past.” Both the cat and its owners have recovered from their illnesses.<br />
<br />
People can keep their pets healthy by washing hands, covering coughs and sneezes, and minimizing contact with their pets while ill with influenza-like symptoms. If your pet exhibits signs of a respiratory illness, contact your veterinarian.<br />
<br />
“Indoor pets that live in close proximity to someone who has been sick are at risk and it is wise to monitor their health to ensure they aren’t showing signs of illness,” said Dr. David Schmitt, State Veterinarian for Iowa.<br />
<br />
For more information about H1N1, visit <a href="http://www.idph.state.ia.us/h1n1/" target="_blank">IDPH - Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus</a> or call the Iowa Influenza Hotline at 1-800-447-1985.<br />
<br />
Contact Information: Polly Carver-Kimm at (515) 281-6693</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>An NFL coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.<br />
<br />
One night, while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan soldier with a truly incredible arm:<br />
<br />
Ø He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away. KABOOM!!!<br />
<br />
Ø He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney. KABLOOEY!!!<br />
<br />
Ø Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph. BULLS-EYE!!!<br />
<br />
&quot;I've got to get this guy!&quot; said the Coach to himself. &quot;He has the perfect arm!&quot; The Coach goes to Afghanistan, finds the soldier, and then brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football.<br />
<br />
The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl.<br />
<br />
After the final game, when the coach asks what he wants to do, all the young man wants is to call his mother.<br />
<br />
&quot;Mother,&quot; he says into the phone, &quot;I just won the Super Bowl!&quot; &quot;I don't want to talk to you, the old Muslim woman says. &quot;You are not my son!&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;I don't think you understand, Mother,&quot; the young man pleads. “I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;No! Let me tell you!&quot; his mother retorts. &quot;At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!&quot;<br />
<br />
The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,<br />
<br />
&quot;I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit.&quot;</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>OK, I've been wanting to do this but now seems like the perfect time. Let's just say the Marxists are firmly in charge and they've banned guns, censored the internet, and disbanded FOX News. Someone in the White House realizes that there are people out there still able to talk freely to each other via independent radios. Now, all 2-way radios privately held are banned. You decide to head for that little hunting cabin out in the wilderness.<br />
<br />
What radio would you take if you could only pack one, or maybe two?<br />
<br />
A scanner? digital or wideband? mil-air capable?<br />
<br />
CB? FRS? There are a LOT of good ol' boys with CBs in the woods, including some friends of mine.<br />
<br />
A Ham transceiver? QRP? CW only or voice like some of the portable QRP rigs? Ultra tiny? What band; 20, 40, 80 meters?<br />
<br />
I'm thinking maybe a QRP CW rig with a dipole for 40 meters and a scanner like an AOR8200/8600 or a wideband HT so I can get SW-AM/FM and MilAir. Local and Federal PD will likely using encrypted digital.<br />
<br />
Let's hear from everybody. Time is short!</div>

Wal-Mart has started selling caskets on its Web site:<br />

...at prices that undercut many funeral homes, long the major seller of caskets.<br />
<br />
The move follows a similar one by discount rival Costco, which also sells caskets on its site. <br />
<br />
Caskets ship within 48 hours.<br />
On each casket's page it says: <u>Be the first to review this product</u>.<br />
