SafetyI took down my Rebel flag (which you can't buy on ebay any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off the front door.I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the Neighborhood Watch.I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard. Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN buy on ebay) and ran it up the flag poleNow, the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7. I've NEVER felt safer and I'm saving $69.95 a month that ADT used to charge me.Plus, I bought burkas for my family when we shop or travel. Everyone moves out of the way and security can't pat us down.Hot Damn — Safe at last — Ain’t America great or what?

Only a man would attempt this... Thanks Clay Vice!
I thought you might get a kick out of this one, if you haven't already seen it.
ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS
Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!
Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.
The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home... I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.
I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.
Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another..
The directions said that: a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;
a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and
a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and..
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!
I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer, one note of caution:
There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.
My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I had shit in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my balls and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

Paul Ryan Important airline inventor from P'Town
Thanks brother Jim! I have heard a lot of this fellow, but I do not know him.
Sam
High Notes 02-03-2011
In 1947, William G. Ryan, his wife Fay, and their twin sons, Paul and Roger, lived above the L and G Grocery, operated by John M. Lawson, at 212 ½ Market Street, and William was a supervisor at The Portsmouth Gas Company.
Paul and Roger graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1949.
By 1959, son Paul had graduated from Ohio State University with a B. S. in electrical engineering, and had founded, Dytronics Company, Inc. in the basement of his house in Columbus, Ohio, with the purpose of developing precision instrumentation for aerospace applications. “Significant contributions were made to the Apollo space program, with special recognition for developing a primary method of measuring the phase angle between two electrical signals. The resulting product, called the ‘Primary Phase Angle Standard’ was supplied to every aerospace metrology laboratory, both government and private as well as the metrology laboratories of all NATO nations,” according to information in the September 20, 2010 brochure distributed when Paul Ryan was honored at the annual OSU alumni awards luncheon.
The OSU College of Engineering, Dean Gregory Washington awarded Paul with the 2010 Lamme Medal – the highest recognition the College bestows upon a graduate.
Paul holds 11-patents, and one of his major inventions was the Ryan Stormscope.
He had a longtime interest in flying, and by 1968, had become a licensed pilot with ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certification. He was able to use his flying abilities in his business, and while on a business trip in his own plane, he almost met major disaster by inadvertently flying into a violent thunderstorm. There was no way to avoid thunderstorms, capable of tornado-like winds which can tear the wings off any airplane.
That’s when Paul decided to devote his time to research a solution, and in 1976, eight-years after the storm incident, the Ryan Stormscope was introduced. Today, the Ryan Stormscope is widely used in all types of aircraft to guide them through threatening storms.
In 1981, Paul sold his invention to the 3M Company, and he established, Ryan International Corporation in order to continue improvement in flight safety. The resulting product, called the TAS (Traffic Advisory System), generated a map of aircraft traffic up to 50-miles away for pilot viewing. Today, many thousands of Ryan’s TAS units are used in aircraft.
In 2005, Ryan International Corporation was sold and merged with the Avidyne Corporation, a leading producer of avionics.
Mr. Ryan now lives at Muirfield Village, in Dublin, Ohio, with his wife, JoAnn (Moore). She is the daughter of Charles and Dorothy Moore, longtime restaurant operators in Portsmouth; Frisch’s and Moore’s Restaurant.
Paul and JoAnn have five children, Lee Ann, Larry, David, Dean and Gary.
Paul’s father, William Gordon Ryan, was a longtime Portsmouth Public Library board member, and the Lucasville branch is named the W. Gordon Ryan Library.

Dial before you Dig! Thanks Dan Baird!
Don't know if this is true or not but it is good advice.
Dial before you dig! Reportedly, This gentleman didn't and hit a gas line.

Which advice...? Sam
Confusion by the variety of email warnings... Sam
I recently posted here and forwarded to my friends the warning to immediately open the car windows and allow the air to vent to avoid benzene poisoning from the heated plastic components inside on a hot day. All advice is interesting, but with the criminal situations which preesent themselves at any time, I believe it may be better to get in, lock the car, and get moving. Then roll down the windows to let the car vent. "Just sayin"!

Police tips to respond to criminals... Thanks Tom & Carolyn Lynch!
These are supposedly tips from a police officer. I don't know if that is true, but they do remind us to be careful! You all might have already read most of these as I have, but I had never heard of the running water ruse.
Stay safe!
In An Emergency Situation.....
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife, your children, everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..
If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.
Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Please pass this on
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it's better to be safe than sorry..
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life
Stay safe!

important tip for safety
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND EVENTUALLY KILLED
AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG PIN TO HER ATM CARD.
IF YOU SHOULD EVER BE FORCED BY A ROBBER TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM AN ATM MACHINE,
YOU CAN NOTIFY THE POLICE BY ENTERING YOUR PIN # IN REVERSE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR
PIN NUMBER IS 1234 THEN YOU WOULD PUT IN 4321.
THE ATM RECOGNIZES THAT YOUR PIN NUMBER IS BACKWARDS FROM THE ATM CARD YOU
PLACED IN THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WILL STILL GIVE YOU THE MONEY YOU REQUESTED,
BUT UNKNOWN TO THE ROBBER, THE POLICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISPATCHED TO HELP YOU.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RECENTLY BROADCASTED ON FOX TV AND IT STATES THAT IT
IS SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG to your friends and family!!

important tip for safety
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND EVENTUALLY KILLED
AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG PIN TO HER ATM CARD.
IF YOU SHOULD EVER BE FORCED BY A ROBBER TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM AN ATM MACHINE,
YOU CAN NOTIFY THE POLICE BY ENTERING YOUR PIN # IN REVERSE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR
PIN NUMBER IS 1234 THEN YOU WOULD PUT IN 4321.
THE ATM RECOGNIZES THAT YOUR PIN NUMBER IS BACKWARDS FROM THE ATM CARD YOU
PLACED IN THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WILL STILL GIVE YOU THE MONEY YOU REQUESTED,
BUT UNKNOWN TO THE ROBBER, THE POLICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISPATCHED TO HELP YOU.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RECENTLY BROADCASTED ON FOX TV AND IT STATES THAT IT
IS SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG to your friends and family!!

Charles Krauthammer article on the Toyota troubles
I, too, Judi!
Charles is the main voice of reason within these troubled political times.
I believe this is an obama motors contrived attack. My last Buick's, admittedly before o owned GM, had a poorly engineered synthetic valve cover that cost the personal owner $500 to $700 a fix and lasted for several years without a recall.
My 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS is the nicest car I have ever owned. Ride is much smoother than the smoothest Buick I owned.
I was a Quality control director for a hyydraulic widget manufacturer for several years. We had no fatal recalls that I am aware of. when an internal problem in manufacturing was discovered, we all got on it and tried to correct it within the organization.
We had qualtiy problems that got out to our customers, but the attempts were to fix them internally as quickly as possible.

A very good article! I've had my concerns about the future of Toyota and wish them nothing but the best because they have had a superior product for years. The Camry I once owned was such a reliable car.
Toyota and the price of modernity
By Charles Krauthammer
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
Amazingly, the congressional hearings on Toyota were relatively civilized. Apart from some inevitable theatrical hectoring, the questioning was generally respectful, the emotions controlled. This was all the more remarkable given the drama of some of the testimony, such as that offered by a tearful Rhonda Smith, who recounted how, in her runaway Lexus, she had called her husband because "I wanted to hear his voice one more time."
Such wrenching and compelling stories might impel you to want to string up the first Toyota executive you find. But the issue here is larger and highly complex.
Industrial society produces an astonishing array of mass-produced products — cars, drugs, medical devices — that are at once wondrous and potentially lethal.
The wondrousness sometimes eludes us. Even the lowliest wage earner has an automobile that conveys him with more luxury, more freedom, more comfort than any traveling king ever experienced in all the centuries before the 20th. And modern medicines — why, vaccines alone — have prevented more suffering, more debility and more death than anything ever conceived by man.
But these wonders can be lethal. And sorting out the endless complaints about these products is maddeningly difficult — though sort you must, otherwise every complaint would require shutting down the factories, and we'd have no industrial society at all.
The question is: How do you distinguish the idiosyncratic failure from the systemic — for example, the single lemon that came off the auto assembly line vs. an intrinsic problem inherent in that model's engineering? How do you separate one patient's physiology producing a drug side effect vs. an intrinsic problem with a drug that makes it unacceptably dangerous?
Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television. Fifteen seconds of the purported therapeutic effort, followed by about 45 seconds of a rapidly muttered list of horrific possible side effects. When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about its being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating?
And how many sudden deaths does it take until we say: "Enough," and pull the drug off the market?
It's not an easy calculation. Six years ago, Vioxx, a powerful anti-inflammatory, was withdrawn by the manufacturer because it was found to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke from 0.75 percent per year to 1.5 percent. The company was pilloried for not having owned up to this earlier, but some rheumatologists were furious that the drug was forced off the market at all. They had patients with crippling arthritis who had achieved a functioning life with Vioxx, for which they were quite willing to risk a long-shot cardiac complication. The public furor denied them the choice.
And don't imagine that we do not coldly calculate the price of a human life. In 1974, the speed limit was lowered to 55 mph to conserve oil. That also led to a dramatic drop in traffic fatalities — approximately 3,000 lives every year. This didn't stop us, after the oil crisis, from raising the speed limit back to 65 and beyond — knowing that thousands of Americans would die as a result.
The calculation was never explicit but it was nevertheless real. We were quite prepared to trade away a finite number of human lives for speed, and for the efficiency and convenience that come with it.
This is not to let Toyota off the hook simply because all products carry risk. Toyota executives have already admitted that they had underplayed the reports of sticking accelerators. They seem finally to have made a very serious, almost frantic, effort to correct what can be corrected — the floor-mat and sticky-accelerator problems — while continuing to investigate the more elusive possibility (never proved, perhaps never provable) of some additional electronic glitch.
But it is no disrespect to the memory of those killed, and the sorrow of those left behind, to simply admit that even the highest technology produced by the world's finest companies can be fallible and fatal, and that the intelligent response is not rage and retribution but sober remediation and recognition of the very high price we pay — willingly pay — for modernity with all its wondrous, dangerous bounty.

Email from a good friend- #77
Thanks Dean,
I didn't know either.
Sam
----- Original Message -----
From: "Dean Williams" Subject: FW: *77
Hi Sam & Jean! Please share with your Family & Friends. I never knew
there was such a number.
Take care,
Dean
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!
I knew about the red light on
cars,
but not the *77
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon,
and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled
up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told
her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but
rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
Lauren had actually listened to her
parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the
police
dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to
tell
the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing
red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if
there
were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to
keep
driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded
her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and
the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car
and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wa
nted for other crimes.
I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone
Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not
pull
over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right
to keep going to a safe place.
*Speaking to a service representative at
**
Bell ** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link to State
trooper
info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *77..
Send this to every woman (and person) you
know; it may save a l ife This applies to ALL 50 states.
