I suspect that goes back to the whole "I was feeling pressure from outside sources."

Did he mention wanting to charge him with manslaughter in court, or was that mentioned before the trial began? He clearly had a different tune today. What part I saw, anyway.

The shippers, carriers and consignees are going to be forced to adapt to these changes.

I must have missed that part, because I didn't hear Serino mention anything about wanting to charge Zimmerman with any crime, even Manslaughter.

I watched/listened to most of today's events, especially the last few hours.   The original investigator/detective was a huge help for Zimmerman, especially the last few questions. He admitted on more than one occasion that he was feeling pressure from "outside sources", and that he was rushed by said sources. He didn't name names.    If the very last question and answer didn't put the nail in the prosecution's coffin, I don't know what will.    The prosecutor was making every effort to stop the defense from hammering it home, but he was getting rejected almost every step of the way. You could tell by the tone of his voice that he was taking a beating.

The last question and answer of the day was a home run for the defense. Damn!

Based on the video that was taken just a day or two after the shooting, Zimmerman didn't appear to be a very big guy. It looks like he's gain 100 pounds since the shooting.

Based on the documentary, they prescribe the patient 100 pills (10 grams) that gets mixed with a glass of water. The patient drinks it, and within a 2 or 3 minutes, they are out like a light. Basically, it's an overdose that puts the patient into medical induced coma very quickly. The actual death usually follows in less than 30 minutes. Of the patients they showed taking the medication, it couldn't have been a better way to go, considering the circumstances. Everything appeared very calm and relaxing.

Yeah, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with the ever-growing and ever-changing list of HOS regulations. Because of this, I would gladly accept the installation of an EOBR in my truck. All of our drivers are on a time clock, so even if the .gov makes EOBR's mandatory, I'm not sure we'd be included. I do know that I'm tired of paper logs.

I just finished watching a heart-wrenching documentary on Netflix, How to Die in Oregon. They follow a few people who are suffering their final days with a terminal illness, and all have decided to take advantage of Oregon's 'Death With Dignity Act'. Unlike Dr. Kevorkian's method of lethal injection, their doctors write them a prescription for a medication in pill form. They pick up the medication at their local pharmacy, then take the medication if and when they see fit. I was on the fence about this issue, but after watching these people suffer, and the peacefullness after taking the medication, I am all for it. As a huge documentary fan, this was one of the more difficult to watch. Left me with something to think about.

I'm ready. Unfortunately, even as a local driver, this will be another pain in the butt for me. For those who don't have to fill out a log book, it's going to be extremely easy to get away without the 30 minute break. Because there is one day a week that I generally need to log, I have to log the rest of the days, too. While it can't hurt, I highly doubt this will have much of a positive impact, if any. I don't have any statistics, but I'm pretty certain that the vast majority of drivers aren't driving for more than 8 hours without a break. Eight hours is a long time to go without, at the very least, stopping to take a leak. Like many of these federal regulations, it's going to cost the driver. That's 30 minutes a day he/she won't be getting paid for their time. Just another reason why I'll never take a job that pays by the mile or by the stop.

I think that's the other Golden Rule, "If the shoe fits, wear it." 

They? A few of my gay friends shoot guns and hate Obama. The biggest difference (except the things they do behind closed doors) is that they have lots better decorating skills than me. My point... all homos ain't the same. There is no they. Come on, man! All homosexuals are the same, and all Christians are just like the 'God Hates Fags' clan from the Westboro Baptist Church.

I've done some things with girls that would be considered immoral in 35 states. :) Where does that fit into all of this? :) Pictures or it didn't happen.

I think they should also immediately repeal most government benefits that come with being married.

As a local radio host said the other day, the majority of those who are anti-homosexual marriage are dying off. The younger folks, even those of religious faith, aren't quite so hard-nosed in their stance on the subject.

I've seen them online, but didn't take the time to read the details. Congrats!

Here's my "symbol".

Yeah, it's beyond obvious that the prosecution is grasping big time.

That was reported a long time ago. The "trainer" at the MMA location was/is scheduled to testify that Zimmerman was so "soft and unfit" that he would not allow Zimmerman in the ring. 

:rofl:

I guess you've gotten pretty good at it in all your 87 years.

Well, I just opened a second account.  :yuck:

No problem. I prefer this coverage for the same reasons you do.
