The first big snow fall finally comes through and the plowing done on our side roads is absolutely terrible. They where bad on the day it snowed but I figured they where just getting the heavy stuff well the rest of the snow fell and they would go back to clean up it when it stopped. But they didn’t the city is paying these private guys to plow the back roads because there is not enough city trucks and man power to do it all and it looks like they did it with a shovel. It’s called dropping your blade, from the looks of the job it seemed like they kept the blade an inch or two off the ground. Some of them are so bad you can’t even see the cement on any points of them. On the corner of the roads instead of turning the blade in then lifting it up to come from a different angle to push it fully in the pile they just leave it which makes it now so its blocking another one of the roads. The only excuse for a job this bad is being lazy these guys are getting paid with tax payers money to plow these streets and they cut every corner they can to get the job done quickly. I guess they are good enough to drive on without getting stuck but stopping and making turns is just as hard as if they left it the way it was. The city needs to do something about this problem sooner then later because it’s going to cause accidents and put pedestrians and drivers in danger every time they get on the road.

He who throws a rock in a glass house gets arrested
Talking to a police officer is like standing in a glass house with a rock in your hand. You can take it two ways you can show no respect and throw the rock or you can accept what is happening and try to get out of it with the utmost respect and put the rock down. This will keep the whole situation from crashing down on top of you. A few tips when talking to a police officer are when talking to him you refer to him as officer not a cop, a pig, or any other name that shows the lack of respect you have for them. If you’re talking to a state trooper then refer to him as trooper. You have to remember no matter how much you disagree they are the law and arguing the fact will not help the situation but give them more reason and want to put you in the back of the car. Well talking to them the best thing you can do is agree whatever you did was wrong apologize and try to ease the situation down. If he isn’t upset he will listen with more reason and give you the chance to talk and possible let you go depending on the crime. When asked a question you keep eye contact like you would if you were talking to your parents. You don’t avoid the question and try to go off on something else if it’s asked they are expecting the answer. Also lying is another big thing not to do chances are they know why they are doing what they are doing and are asking you to see how you respond and if they don’t know they can probably find out. If they find out you’re a liar then you might as well through the cuffs on your self because at that point anything you say after that will go in one of his ears and out the other. Now I am not saying incriminate yourself but if it’s an obvious question like have you been drinking then don’t lie because they know if you are and if they don’t they can find out anyways. Treating the situation in this manner will not always get you off but it can help you in court that the cop doesn’t think your some punk and really try to screw you. The last thing is remain calm because it will help with your body language and if you’re not already in cuffs chances are what you did was not that bad. So the trouble you get in wont be as bad as you think at the time I have seen people only get probation for thing they thought they where going to jail for. But if what you did was bad enough that its definitely putting you away then none of this will help and you should have either ran or ran a whole lot quicker.

New Phone
The Razzle is one of Verizon wireless more recent cell phones. Despite the name the Razzle is given four and a half stars by consumers and has proved to be a good phone. For my two year upgrade I chose to get this phone and so far have no complaints about it. The phone has a large speaker on its back and a QWERT keyboard on the other side. To use the keyboard you simple spin the bottom of the phone and the keyboard with a slight incline for easy texting will now be the front of the phone. The fact that the phone spins like that can make people think it will be a phone that will brake easily but the way it is designed there is no way you will applying enough force to brake it. When you flip the phone back to the Mp3 side it displays the big speaker and the buttons needed to use the Mp3. Also when the phone is flipped to the Mp3 side the incline goes away so you can put it flat in your pocket and prevent it from braking. I have not had time to activate the Mp3 but it is an easy task to complete. All you have to do is hook it up to your pc with the cords that are given to you with the phone and just use the Verizon website to set up a vcast or rhapsody account then you can transfer the music to your phone. There are also many other feature to go with the phone not as many as the smart phones but you can still get to your email and IM chats there is also a navigation system that you can have activated if you don’t own a GPS. So if your going out to buy a phone and you have no clue what you want to get definitely look into the Razzle because it has got nothing but good reviews.

Navy SEALs
I was reading the Fox News home page the other week and saw something that made me absolutely sick to read. It was a story about how a team of Navy SEALs went on a covert-op mission to capture one of the most wanted terrorist by the U.S who was the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. Where they killed them using grenades and gun fire then continued to burn their bodies, hang them on the bridges and drag them through the town. Now you would think that for completing a mission like that and bringing justice to the families of those murder U.S citizens, they would be thanked and treated the way a hero should be treated but not in today’s America. Instead the three Navy Seals are being sued by the courts they fight so hard to protect. You would wonder what a Navy SEAL could do that is so bad that he is going to get charges pressed on him, nothing more then simple giving that terrorist piece of scum a fat lip. After Ahmed Hashim Abed who was the ring leader in that brutal attack was detained he complained that the men punched him and he had the fat lip to prove it. So instead of telling this guy to F*** off they are going to follow up with the complaint and take three of are most elite soldiers of the lines for how ever long it takes. The fact that anyone could follow through with this just confuses me, how do you punish the people protecting you.
