  1. Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow. But he won't know what to make of your blinker signal that says you are about to turn right. This is to let him know you're pulling off for a proper place to talk. It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

    :lol: I just now read this.

    "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

    Great book.

    NINJA14 and redrocket04 do not threaten people on here.

    It's not nice. If you do it again and it will be a 3 day ban.

  2. No Jeans, Denim In Newark Under Proposed School Dress Code

    NEWARK, Ohio --

    Jeans, denim and sweatpants are all prohibited under a proposed dress code in the Newark City School District. The district's school board is expected to consider the dress code proposal that would take effect in the 2010-2011 school year for students in grades 6 through 12.

    The policy, modeled after Johnstown-Monroe Local Schools' rules, would limit students to just two colors of pants, shorts and skirts: khaki and black.

    Only golf or button-down shirts would be permitted in one of four solid colors: black, white, grey and crimson.

    School administrators say they are wasting too much time dealing with inappropriate dress. A typical school day involves 25 to 30 dress code violations, said spokesperson Fran Russ. But many students say they don't want to lose their ability to express themselves.

    "I know there are a lot of students that are pro-uniform just because they don't have to worry about getting dressed in the morning, taking all that time," said Chris Powless, junior at Newark High School. "But I know there are lot of students who are against it because they don't get to wear what they want. They have to wear the same thing as everything else… I'm not a very big fan of it."

    Other school districts such as Whitehall and Reynoldsburg have moved to dress codes in recent years. Johnstown-Monroe administrators say they issued 975 written dress code violations last year. After implementing the new dress code this year, they expect to issue only 40 violations.

    Proponents point out a dress code can save parents money, promote better behavior and help security tell who belongs at school and who doesn't.

    "It would make the teachers' job a little easier. They wouldn't have to be the dress code police. Thewould have more time to do the teaching and what they're really there to do," said Mindy Nelson, whose daughter graduated from Newark High School in 2005. "Kids will find a way to be original, even with a dress code. Whether it's their socks or their earrings, or whatever. And then if they want to do their own thing they can do it on the weekends."
