(once you are a Marine you are always a Marine.) This is from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel: -------------------------- Subway customer lauded as hero for gunning down robbers in Plantation By Akilah Johnson, Andrew Tran and Juan C. Ortega South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted June 29 2007 Some are calling a former U.S. Marine a hero for shooting two men — killing one — during the botched robbery of a sandwich shop in Plantation. But the men's friends and family want to know how he could gun them down and not be charged. John Lovell had just finished dinner at about 11: 15 p.m. Wednesday when, Plantation police say, two men armed with guns rushed inside a Subway shop and demanded cash. After robbing the store, the men turned to Lovell. They wanted his money, police said. But like his attackers, Lovell was armed. The retired military man opened fire, shooting dead Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale, and critically injuring Fredrick Gadson, 21, of Fort Lauderdale. Lovell, 71, of Plantation, has a valid concealed weapons permit and is not expected to be charged in the shooting, said police spokesman Detective Robert Rettig. Gadson, however, faces multiple felony charges that could include murder, he said. Under Florida law, anyone who commits a felony such as armed robbery resulting in a death can be held accountable for the capital offense. "He feared for his life," Rettig said of Lovell. "And if he's in fear for his life, then he has a right to defend himself, even if it means severe bodily injury or death." Florida law gives people the right of "self-defense without the duty to retreat." That means individuals can use deadly force virtually anywhere to prevent death or serious injury. Lovell could not be reached for comment despite calls and visits to his home. His attorney, Wesley White, of Yulee, near Jacksonville, said he has known Lovell for 19 years and described him as a "quiet Clint Eastwood-type you don't want to mess with." He is a former Marine who was a member of the helicopter detail that transported Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, White said. Lovell, a retired Pan-Am and Delta Airline pilot, has held a concealed weapons permit since September 1990. Three months earlier, Plantation police had arrested him for having a loaded .9 mm and three extra clips behind the driver's seat of a Corvette without proper permits for the gun. The Broward State's Attorney's Office declined to file charges in that case. According to a police statement, :Arrindell ordered Lovell to hand over his wallet. He intentionally dropped it on the floor and refused to pick it up, saying he was afraid. That's when Arrindell ordered him into the women's restroom. "The victim believed he would be executed and when he noticed [Arrindell] distracted ... reached behind his back, removed his loaded .45 caliber handgun from his holster and fired seven rounds," the statement said. Arrindell was struck twice — once in the head and once in the stomach — and collapsed. Officers found him face down, wearing sunglasses and a bandanna, with a gun near his left hand. Gadson was hit in the chest and ran from the store. Police dogs found him in the hedges of a nearby office building and bank. Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center, where Arrindell died and Gadson was in critical condition Thursday. Sebastian Shakespeare, 23, of Lauderhill, was going to buy a sandwich at the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Island Road when he saw Lovell, gun in hand, standing over Arrindell. A former employee, Shakespeare worked the night shift and often worried about getting robbed. He said Lovell did a good deed. "A civilian was a hero." Lovell's neighbor agreed. "If I was in the same situation ... I hope I could've done the same thing," said Bryan Sklar, 45. But Gadson's grandmother, Rosa Jones, said: "He ain't no hero. He is a murderer and God will serve justice." She and her husband, Ivory Jones, pastor of a Fort Lauderdale church, sat on their front porch in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday wondering how a man could shoot two people and not go to jail. They said their grandson sometimes hung with the wrong crowd but never got into legal trouble. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, he has no arrest record. They said Gadson, who never finished high school, got tired of low-wage jobs and was pursuing his GED. Arrindell, friends said, found himself in a similar situation: no high school diploma and working odd jobs. So he went back to school. He was a man with past troubles, including a 2004 arrest for carrying a concealed weapon, but he was improving his life, they said. He recently bought a car and had a girlfriend. Kathy East, 54, whose son went to school with Arrindell, said she took him in two years ago when he and his mother had a falling out. "I'm absolutely stunned," she said Thursday. Staff Researchers Barbara Hijek and William Lucey contributed to this report.

The sound velocity in air is about 1000 fps, in sea-water it is 5000 fps (appx). Thus, as sound is concerned, it is 5 times more dense.

If your VPN is up it binds itself to all networks ports in order to maintain a secure connection. You should be able to enter the exception into black ice but I don't know how, come on black ice as an enterprise solution? You can open ports from the user interface. Right click on the product icon in the task tray and choose Advanced Firewall Settings, there are separate tabs for IP addresses & ports. Both an IP address & a Port tab whose fields are blank when no changes have been made. Select the Port tab To Add an entry for a Port, click on Add Enter the name, such as HTTP or DHCP Enter port number Enter the Type: UDP or TCP Choose: Accept or Reject Click on OK Note that when doing a range of addresses or ports, one lists them with a - and no spaces between the IPs. For example: 111.222.111.222-222.111.222.111

I like the fact that you have to show up with a laptop, but you will never ever use it again.

I am a big mac fan, and I cannot stand it when someone tells me "you have to use it this way". What about international, there is no Cingular/at&t in London, so why can't I just use my London SIM. Trust me, if they made it available for all carriers it would sell like crazy. but since I am locked into Verizon and Orange (UK) I can only look at it and hope it sucks (prolly won't).

I have done this several times. You need to go into printers and add a local printer (sounds stupid right?). Create a new port, standart TCP/IP port, then put in the IP address of the print server. Next you associate the printer with it. The Print server doesn't care what the printer is, the PC is driving all of this all the print server does is take the TCP packets and turn them into USB.

if the phone was unlocked and I could use my UK sim card I would be firmly on the fence about getting one. Since I cannot use my UK sim with my $.10/minute prepaid rate I am not very interested.

I am pretty sure Monterey got rid of the great white due to it eating everything. ( http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/whiteshark/ ) Alcatraz is fun but loads of walking. The waterfront in SF is pretty cool, loads of SF related shopping. Lots of SF is homeless people and beggars, Castro is fun if you are solid in your manhood and like wine/cheese. If that is the case then Napa is probably going to be more fun for both of you. I would suggest Napa and the Redwoods. You can only get the weed prescription in Oakland and you don't want to go there.

If you cannot modify it, you do not own it. Modding an xbox isn't really illegal unless you reverse engineer something that is protected. If you copy a game, that is illegal.

I remember when he did a concert in Columbus my uncle worked for Record Plant and he came into town. he called me and said I have a gig I columbus at Vets. So I drove down to vets to see him and asked who the show was for "Vanilla something or another". He gave me backstage passes and front row tickets, I went home before the sound check even started.

I may be wrong here but in Ohio doesn't a moving violation go against the driver? As in, "a friend borrowed my bike, I would never drive it that fast".
