Postal Uniforms Knowledge Base
Should Kilts be apart of the US Postal Uniform, Should the fight for this Right Continue? Headlines ran rampant back in July of 2008, after a US Letter Carrier from Lacey Washington fought to keep Kilts on 15 letter carriers at their Bi-Annual Convention of Postal Workers. The Carrier, Dean Peterson, vowed to try it again at the next meeting, next month in California. Do you think letter carriers, following the same rules at women would, should be allowed to wear the kilt as apart of their uniform, with underwear (just as the women letter carries)? The kilts were made with Postal Blue fabric to be similar to what the women would wear, but designed for men, in roughly the same construction as a Scottish Kilt, but with pockets. I also wanted to clarify that these Kilts/MUGs were for utility and comfort, not for Celtic ancestry.
How do I get extra creases out of pants? I've got postal uniform pants that have extra creases on the sides of the legs. Makes them look square. Already had them pressed by cleaners to remove, didn't work. Don't know the material composition, no tag. But they are washable and dryable.
why do uniforms change? i look at historical pictures of soldiers or police or any government employee like postal workers that had to wear uniforms. I look at the same employees now. Through a time span of 100 years or even 10-30 years. Uniforms change a lot? is it due to the fashion of the decade or different changes in terrain or whatever.??? Just curious here.
How does the Postal Inspector investigate a mail fraud case? Do they go to the "scammer"s house and watch their very movement or they place a hidden camera around that house? Also, do they dresses like normal people or in their blue uniform with badges? Also, do they show up with your normal delivery mailman or they drive in their own truck/car? Thanks, just curious!
Should the U.S. Postal Service add kilts as a uniform option for men? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080807/ap_on_fe_st/odd_postal_kilt One postal worker is campaigning for the right to take off his pants. He wants the U.S. Postal Service to add kilts as a uniform option for men. "Unbifurcated Garments are far more comfortable and suitable to male anatomy than trousers or shorts because they don't confine the legs or cramp the male genitals the way that trousers or shorts do," he wrote. "Please open your hearts — and inseams — for an option in mail carrier comfort!"
Poll: Should US Postal Service include Kilts to their Official Uniform? It has been approved to go to the National Level, Kilts on US Postal Workers, the decision is in August. Do you believe they should include the American version of Kilt that would be postal blue? Dog Bites? That's discrimination, because the women are currently allowed to wear their skirts, along with shorts.
How do I pitch an idea to the government? I just made a piece of clothing, which the functionality is a major factor. It is a piece that is meant for United States Postal Services. How would i go about pitching this piece of clothing so that it can be a government issuance and be sold in uniform stores?
How can I accept medicare as payment when I sell orthopedic shoes? Hi, We own a uniform store in New York, NY. We sell things like restaurant uniforms/aprons, medical gear/scrubs, work shoes/boots, postal uniforms, etc. We also sell orthopedic shoes. We want to be able to accept medicare as payment. We aren't a doctor's office and don't have patient files so applying to be a DMEPOS supplier seems to be way more intricate than it needs to be. There are currently competitors in our area that only sell orthopedic shoes also and are able to accept medicare. Can an expert in the field point us in the right direction?
Can I send this item first class postage? I am sending about four ounces of glass beads to a friend. It would be five ounces with the packaging. I am shipping them in an padded envelope with bubble wrap around the bag of beads. Can I send it by first class mail through the USPS or should I choose a different postal method? I have checked the USPS website and it states that in order to go as a first class package the weight cannot be over 13 ounces and the thickness cannot not exceed 3/4 of an inch.The package is not over 3/4 inch thick but it is not uniform and is lumpy. Thank you!
My son received a USPS (US Postal Service) sweater from his girlfriend.? Several people have told him its against the law for him to wear the sweater. He is not wearing the whole uniform, just the sweater. Does anyone know for sure? My son is wearing just the sweater and is not impersonating a postal employee...more of a fashion thing...he likes to wear odd things.
Who have the sexiest uniforms? suggestions: delivery persons(Fed-ex, UPS, DHL, postal) service personnel (firemen, policemen, waiter, waitress, etc) servicemen (plummbers, electricians, etc)
2 What would be the proper pun/headline for this? Wash. Letter Carrier Going Full Kilt Ahead SEATTLE - A 6-foot-tall, 250-pound letter carrier is campaigning for the right to take off his pants. Dean Peterson wants the U.S. Postal Service to add kilts as a uniform option for men. The idea was soundly defeated in July at a convention of his union, the 220,000-member National Letter Carriers' Association, so Peterson knows convincing management will be an uphill struggle, but at least he'll be comfortable in his kilt, or Male Unbifurcated Garment. "In one word, it's comfort," he said. With his build, Peterson said, his thighs fill slacks to capacity, causing chafing and scarring. Peterson, 48, has Finnish and Norwegian ancestry but not Scottish. He began wearing kilts a couple years ago when his wife brought one back from a trip to Scotland. (A spokeswoman for Britain's Royal Mail said kilts are not allowed as part of its letter carrier uniforms.) Now Peterson wears them everywhere — to one son's football games, the other son's concerts, shopping and gardening. "It's the difference between wearing jammies to bed and wearing your work clothes to bed," he said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080807/ap_on_fe_st/odd_postal_kilt;_ylt=Aue4yhjbq357S8ORPPxNaZIDW7oF
Do you work at a post office? How do you schedule an appointment to take the postal exam? I've looked on usps.com and couldn't find anything about it? Anything you can tell me about working at a post office or going about getting a job at a post office would be most helpful. How long did it take for you to find a job once you took the exam? Do you dress in plain clothes or is there a postal uniform and if so what's it look like? How long have you worked at a post office? Which position do you work in? What's the best thing about your job? What's the worst thing about your job? Anything you would like to add about your postal job would be great also. Thanks in advance for all of your answers, help, and ideas.
How can I improve my writing? What should I change to make this better? Thanks! Midsummer hit the street like a deathblow. Once verdant lawns, starved by the sun, became cemeteries to yellow ghosts. Dusty minivans sat decommissioned in driveways because mothers refused to leave the controlled comfort of their homes. All outdoor activities on Orchid drive came to a halt, forcing residents to find something to do indoors. A truck, covered in dried mud, pulled up in front of one of the houses. A man sat inside, he was on the unfortunate side of fifty and balding.. Both his clothing and the interior of the truck was covered in dust and caulk. He stared at the house and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Next to the front door lay a mailbag on its side. Letters were scattered around it, indicating it had been dropped there in haste. It was just after noon and the curtains were closed. The man got out of the truck and slammed the door, watching for any movement inside. He saw a figure move behind one of the upstairs windows. A pair of anxious eyes peered out from between the curtains then upon seeing him quickly withdrew. Moments later he heard heavy footsteps running down the stairs, it sounded like a drum roll one would hear at a circus or before a hanging. A woman opened the door, her lips twitched unsure if they wanted to smile or to scream. “What are you doing home?” she asked. “It was too hot so Bill let us leave early.” “Oh, that’s nice,” the woman muttered. She wore a red, silken robe, it looked pasted on her body, revealing every nervous breathe and trembling movement. The man eyed her suspiciously and she looked away. “Did we get any deliveries today?” he said, nodding towards the fallen mailbag. “Oh, no. Cherri, I mean the mail woman, had to use the bathroom. She must of left it here.” Momentary contentment passed her face, she opened the door wider and let her hand slide down the edge of the door, pleased with herself and relieved. Just then a finger tapped her shoulder, she moved to the side and a woman in a postal uniform came out from behind her. She was large but not fat, and her face, build, and short hair gave her the appearance of a man. She seemed unconcerned about her looks, she wore no makeup or jewelry and unlike the neat, pressed look of most postal employees, her clothing was wrinkled and her shirt unevenly tucked in her shorts.
What is wrong with the post office these days? Was what I saw symbolic of their financial state? I've noticed certain things that I think reflects what I've heard in the news. For example, the mail carrier usually comes in our neighborhood between 2-4pm. Had been this way since I moved here a couple years ago. But in the last few days, they've been coming around 8pm. Is this a result of cutting staff and giving more work for fewer people? The other day, I saw a guy walking down the street that I thought was homeless. Clothes shirt unbuttoned, looked a bit scraggly and dirty from head to toe. He was walking in a manner that suggested to me that he was either in poor spirits, or tired. Then I focused on him more, and saw he was carrying some empty postal crates in his left hand. Then I realized he was wearing a US Postal uniform. He was just wearing it in an untidy manner. And I saw him walk to his USPS van. What happened? xpatinas: Yes, and that's why I asked a question. DSTR: You seem obsessed with me. You're an idiot. You mad?
What is the name of this song? Some guy in a postal uniform sitting at a desk scanning a load of packages through the counter. Starts punching random people in the face, rolls around on the floor for a bit, and looks like a zombie or some other creature of the undead. asdfjkl; Thanks for your help!

What do you think of my short xmas story? how is the grammar? MOLLY'S GIFT Molly waited in line counting the heads before her, “1, 2, 3, 4.” It would soon be her turn. The man sat in a gold chair; behind him were his reindeer and his sleigh bulging with presents. She could hear his joyful laugh booming all the way down the queue. “HO, HO, HO, and what would you like, Sam?” he asked the red haired boy now seated upon his lap. “I want a bike, a big blue one,” Sam answered. Molly looked up at her mother and smiled. “Remember and ask for what you want, Molly,” she said. “I have a letter for Santa, mum,” “Oh ok, on you go,” her mother replied, “it’s your turn now, sweetheart.” Molly ran and jumped onto Santa’s knee. “Hi Molly, what would you like for Christmas?” He asked. Molly looked down at her letter and handed it to Santa. “This is all I want, Santa.” Santa took the letter and his eyes moved over the writing, “Wouldn’t you like a toy like all the other boys and girls?” “No, this is all I want,” “I will see what I can do,” Santa said with a wink. “Bye,” Molly said as she jumped down and returned to her mother's side. “What did you ask for?” her mother questioned. “Nothing. I know that's not the real Santa, mum,” she said, her eyes on the floor. “So it doesn’t matter.” Molly ran to answer the door; it had been two weeks since her visit to see Santa. She was surprised to see the man standing there, only this time his red suit was replaced with a postal uniform. Winking the same wink, he told Molly “Give this letter to your mother,” before walking away. Molly ran to the family room and handed her mother the letter. “Oh my god,” said her mother, her hand clasped her mouth and a lone tear leaked from her eyes. “What is it mummy?” Molly asked. “Daddy’s coming home for Christmas, Molly.” “Merry Christmas, mummy,” said Molly with a wink.
How old do builders have to be before they give up trying to crack on to women in the street ? Isn't it ridiculous when some fat, balding, 70yr old beer bellied smelly git thinks there in with a shot ? Do you just smile or do you tell 'em straight ? It might be harmless, but even though the postal uniform is probably the least sexy clothing going, I get it all the time on my route. Nasty men who rather than move to let you past, position themselves so you have to squeeze past and look you up and down like a piece of meat. If it was a bloke I worked with I'd be reporting them, so should I take the number off the work van and report it when I get home, or would they all just have a right good laugh about it ?

How do i pitch an idea to the U.S. Government? I just made a piece of clothing, which the functionality is a major factor. It is a piece that is meant for United States Postal Services. How would i go about pitching this piece of clothing so that it can be a government issuance and be sold in uniform stores?
Who is Bart supposed to be in the "Cheers" segment of the "Moe Goes From Rags to Riches" couch gag? I have seen "Cheers" before and repeated viewings of the couch gag have not turned up anything. I know Homer is Norm, Marge is Diane, Lisa is Carla, Maggie is Cliff (note the facsimilie of the Postal Service uniform) and Sideshow Bob is Frasier.

What city is MTV Skins set in? Wiki says its shot in Toronto, is this the city is actually set in? In the episodes they refer to US Postal Service, or they go to Canada, and they even use a US Air Force uniform for the security forces airmen so it makes me thank it is set in the United States.
Husband stresses me out when we shop! What can I do? Ok heres the latest incident. We just went shopping for school uniforms. We went to three places and couldn't find much and we all went together as a family b/c this is my husband's day off from work. It was his idea to go shopping but when we go it's like he can't handle it. The first store my daughter cried for something and the way I handled it was tell her that thats not what we were here for and dropped it. She cried of course. I ignored it. My husband goes postal and wants to leave and I go along with it. I backed him up when he said no she can't have what she wanted and thought I did the right thing and then he tells me I was wrong because I didn't go look at what she wanted? She wanted it to buy it and she wanted me to look at it? after she cried she said she just wanted me to look at it. I was just trying to support my husband by saying no originally. So I walk over there and look at it with her (make-up) and say maybe for Christmas. So we leave this store and the next store she wasn't listening so that trip was cut short. We left the store and she cried. The 3rd store the kids acted a little better. My husband was super stressed out acting and we only found a few things we were looking for. So when we were done clothes shopping I said lets go look at the halloween costumes b/c the kids didn't have any yet...and it was yet another fight. My husband was complaining how expensive costumes are...even though we have money right now and it is nothing to stress about. He went on and on about it and so I decided to talk my son down to the cheaper costumes. Well the other two kids ended up picking more expensive ones and I felt bad b/c my oldest son had to give his up. It was all to please my husband and get him to shut up about the price. This whole time this was going on I felt like my heart was going to explode from the stress. When I told him it wasn't fair that my son didn't get the one he wanted which cost the same as the other two my husband said it was all my fault. WTH? All I do is try to please him and he blames everything on me....? What can I do just never shop with him again? He does the same thing at the grocery store sometimes we leave with no groceries because of the way he acts like he has no patients.
How do you feel about federal employees making on average $30,000 more than private sector jobs since...? the recession began? http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20091211/1afedpay11_st.art.htm?loc=interstitialskip The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data. Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession's first 18 months — and that's before overtime pay and bonuses are counted. Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time — in pay and hiring — during a recession that has cost 7.3 million jobs in the private sector. The highest-paid federal employees are doing best of all on salary increases. Defense Department civilian employees earning $150,000 or more increased from 1,868 in December 2007 to 10,100 in June 2009, the most recent figure available. When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000. The trend to six-figure salaries is occurring throughout the federal government, in agencies big and small, high-tech and low-tech. The primary cause: substantial pay raises and new salary rules. "There's no way to justify this to the American people. It's ridiculous," says Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, a first-term lawmaker who is on the House's federal workforce subcommittee. Jessica Klement, government affairs director for the Federal Managers Association, says the federal workforce is highly paid because the government employs skilled people such as scientists, physicians and lawyers. She says federal employees make 26% less than private workers for comparable jobs. USA TODAY analyzed the Office of Personnel Management's database that tracks salaries of more than 2 million federal workers. Excluded from OPM's data: the White House, Congress, the Postal Service, intelligence agencies and uniformed military personnel. Is this an example of government intervention into the economy championing the poor?

Are federal gun laws unconstitutional in the United States? In the constitution, the federal congress is given a list of things they can do, but they may not do anything that is not on the list: *Levy Taxes *Borrow money on the credit of the United States. *Spend when authorized by an approriations bill *Pay the Federal debt *Constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court *Declare War *Raise armies, a navy, and provide for the common defense *Introduce constitutional amendments and choose the mode of ratification *Call a Constitutional Convention on the application of two-thirds of the States *Regulate interstate and foreign commerce. *Coin Money *Standardize the value of currency *Regulate copyrights and patents *Establish federal courts lower than the Supreme Court. *Limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Federal Courts including the Supreme Court. *Standardize weights and measures. *Establish uniform times for elections. *Control the Postal System *Establish laws governing citizenship *Make its own rules and discipline its own members . *Provide for the punishment of counterfeiting, piracy, treason and other Federal Crimes. *Exercise exclusive jurisdiction over the District of Columbia *Establish Bankruptcy laws *Override presidential vetoes. *Oversee all Federal property and possesions *Fill a vacancy in the presidency in cases of death or inability * Receive and count electoral votes for the Presidency *Keep and publish a journal of its proceedings *Conduct a census every ten years. *Approve treaties, cabinet level appointments, and appointments to the Supreme Court (Senate only). *Impeach (House only) and try (Senate only) federal officers. *Initiate all bills for raising revenue (House only). Doesn't this mean that all federal gun laws (for example, the expired assault weapon ban) are unconstitutional?

Reallyyy need help with Combinations and Permutations? I've done most of the problems, but I have a few left where I really can't figure out what to do for them. I still don't fully understand the difference between comb. and perm....Just helping me with one of them would be enough! -------------------- In the early 1970s, Canada Post started using six-character postal codes. Each postal code uses three letters and three digits (0-9) in an alternating pattern. How many different Canadian postal codes are possible? Is that a permutation or combination and how would I solve it? ------------------ At Cold Marble Ice Cream, you create your own ice cream flavor by choosing from a list of 10 add ins that can be mixed into vanilla ice cream.

Am I a terrible military wife? Let me get this clear, i love my husband to the bone but this lifestyle is making me want to go postal. I will make it clear as day, i hate the military spouse life, it sucks, its terrible. People tell me that i married him so live with it. Little do people know is that before my husband left for bootcamp, he said once he got back i could join the airforce... when he graduated, he changed his mind. Now im stuck at crappy camp pendleton, i hate seeing him in uniform i feel extremely jealous, even worse seeing all the women in uniform thinking how it could be me. We fight about it constantly and he still says no. My family says i am being selfish and i need to support my husband... this life sucks, im tired of saying goodbye when he leaves for his field op. crap thinking about how i would be doing something similar if i was in. I feel like im going to resent everyone who held me back, and i know its not healthy. I hate that someday when we have kids, he will be able to tell them stories about bootcamp/deployment and i wont because there is nothing interesting about telling stories about a stupid 9-5 job! Am i selfish? Or just longing to do what id been dreaming of since i was young, an air force translator. i do not regret marrying my husband, id never leave him. Should i try and get over it? How do i stop the constant jealousy i feel? I am truly a tortured soul. i almost constantly feel depressed and full of rage.
... Lying ... continued? (we live 100 miles from each other - but I hoped he could get someone to bring him to me - he said it'd be too difficult). At one point I got a bit upset, and textd him jokily saying (rather childishly!) 'Perhaps this woman has a better nurse's uniform than me...!' He got v. annoyed and textd back 'she's 67 and 18 stone! - I felt duly chastened, n told him I'd write, so he gave me ... his ex's address, and her first name - no surname. Well, I knew it was his postal address, so didnt know what to think. A few months later I finally confronted him about the postal address, he denied it til I said I knew, then admitted it, saying 'I didnt want to hurt you'. I askd if he'd stayed with her after the hospital, he said irritably, 'no, no', it was friends of my parents'. Finally (there were some other issues too), after trying to talk (he just got angry) I dumped him. Ive just emailed him n finally found out he did stay with her. Was I wrong or not? What wd you do? thx x Thanks everyone for your input - however, I'm new to these boards, and it seems the first part of my question has posted on 'Marriage & Divorce', so it must have been a bit confusing! Your thoughts are helping immensely, because I had got to a point of thinking I had a real paranoia problem, I needed some other input besides his. Incidentally, the reason I am so upset is that this was a serious relationship, I thought, and he led me to believe, that we were in for the 'long haul'. I only left because I literally did not know what else to do, and even now I can't accept it's over. I hope the pain goes away eventually. Thank you all.

Database SQL Question? I am trying to get my homework done and have a question on a portion. First I am doing this in MS Access, the part I don't get is: selecting the right datatypes as outlined in the post titled 'Data Types in Access, Oracle and SQL Server" esepcially regarding the use of the NUMBER datatype. Field data types available in Access (MDB) Note The information in this topic applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb). The following list summarizes all the field data types (field data type: A characteristic of a field that determines what kind of data it can store. For example, a field whose data type is Text can store data consisting of either text or number characters, but a Number field can store only numerical data.) available in Microsoft Access, their uses, and their storage sizes. Text Use for text or combinations of text and numbers, such as addresses, or for numbers that do not require calculations, such as phone numbers, part numbers, or postal codes. Stores up to 255 characters. The FieldSize property controls the maximum number of characters that can be entered. Memo Use for lengthy text and numbers, such as notes or descriptions. Stores up to 63,999 characters. Number Use for data to be included in mathematical calculations, except calculations involving money (use Currency type). Stores 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes; stores 16 bytes for Replication ID (GUID). The FieldSize property defines the specific Number type. Date/Time Use for dates and times. Stores 8 bytes. Currency Use for currency values and to prevent rounding off during calculations. Stores 8 bytes. AutoNumber Use for unique sequential (incrementing by 1) or random numbers that are automatically inserted when a record is added. Stores 4 bytes; stores 16 bytes for Replication ID (GUID). Yes/No Use for data that can be only one of two possible values, such as Yes/No, True/False, On/Off. Null (Null: A value you can enter in a field or use in expressions or queries to indicate missing or unknown data. In Visual Basic, the Null keyword indicates a Null value. Some fields, such as primary key fields, can't contain Null.) values are not allowed. Stores 1 bit. OLE Object Use for OLE objects (such as Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, pictures, sounds, or other binary data) that were created in other programs using the OLE (OLE: A program-integration technology that you can use to share information between programs. All Office programs support OLE, so you can share information through linked and embedded objects.) protocol. Stores up to 1 gigabyte (limited by disk space). Hyperlink Use for hyperlinks (hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and FTP sites.). A hyperlink can be a UNC path (universal naming convention (UNC): A naming convention for files that provides a machine-independent means of locating the file. Rather than specifying a drive letter and path, a UNC name uses the syntax \\server\share\path\filename.) or a URL (Uniform Resource Locator (URL): An address that specifies a protocol (such as HTTP or FTP) and a location of an object, document, World Wide Web page, or other destination on the Internet or an intranet, for example: http://www.microsoft.com/.). Stores up to 2048 characters. Lookup Wizard Use to create a field that allows you to choose a value from another table or from a list of values using a combo box—-choosing this option in the data type list starts a wizard to define this for you. Requires the same storage size as the primary key (primary key: One or more fields (columns) whose values uniquely identify each record in a table. A primary key cannot allow Null values and must always have a unique index. A primary key is used to relate a table to foreign keys in other tables.) that corresponds to the Lookup field (Lookup field: A field, used on a form or report in an Access database, that either displays a list of values retrieved from a table or query, or stores a static set of values.)—-typically 4 bytes.
Advice on shifting my army career from personel support to high speed ranger? Im currently a 42A working in postal office here at fort Bragg. There is days that I would see fellow soldiers walking around with special force patches or ranger(airborne) patches. During PT in the morning the exsercises I see them do looks rigorous (wearing PT uniform with combat boots, walking up incline with ruck bag, fireman carry 100 meters. While my LT welcome brief i told him I want to do it. I want to go to ranger school. He told me while I'm on deployment which i deploy September, he will enroll me in a BSEP class to raise my GT score and after I come back in June I would be able to reclass. Do you guys have any tips for me to make it through ranger's assessment week?
Why were the Founders so specific about which powers Congress would and would not have? Why were the Founders so specific about which powers Congress would and would not have? Choose any two of the expressed powers from Article I, Section 8 and explain why the Founders saw a need for Congress to have those specific powers. Powers listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution include: Taxing Taxes make up the largest part of the government’s income. Taxes are a charge that the government requires people to pay, and the money is used to pay for government/public expenses. The Constitution states that taxes are to be used “to pay the debts, and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States.” Taxes are used to pay for the operating expenses of the government, including social programs and the upkeep of national property. The federal government requires individuals to pay an income tax, and the percentage they pay is based on how much money they make. States often use sales taxes, and local communities use property taxes, in order to fund their projects and pay their expenses. Borrowing money The Constitution grants Congress the right to “borrow money on the credit of the United States.” Because the government spends more money than it makes, it must borrow money to make up the difference. One way that the government borrows money is through selling savings bonds, treasury bills and treasury notes. Anytime you purchase one of these, you are actually loaning to the government. They promise to pay you back with interest after a specified period of time. The money that the government owes at any given time is referred to as the national debt. The national debt has soared in recent decades, and is well into the trillions of dollars. Although Congress attempted to stop the debt from growing by creating a “debt ceiling,” or an amount that is the maximum debt the nation can have, bills have been passed to increase the debt ceiling over time. Regulating commerce with other nations and between states The Constitution gives Congress its commerce powers by stating that they can “regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.” The Supreme Court has interpreted this power not just as buying and selling, but also as transporting goods from one location to another. Congress uses the commerce clause of the Constitution to justify many different actions. The Supreme Court has interpreted this clause in the same way as Congress, and has allowed them these rights. Money powers Congress has the right to control the manufacturing of coins and paper money in the United States. They are involved in decisions regarding how much money to print, as well. Congress also has the power to “establish uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies.” When a person is unable to pay his/her bills and debts, that individual is considered bankrupt. For a person to declare bankruptcy is a legal process and it requires individuals to evaluate their debts and find ways to pay off as many as possible. Creating post offices and post roads Congress has the authority to establish post offices and postal roads in the United States. This was more necessary during the time when the nation was first being created, but it still falls under the realm of Congressional powers. Issuing patents and copyrights The Constitution also gives Congress the power to “promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.” A copyright is an author’s right to exclusively publish or sell his/her own work. A patent allows an inventor the sole right to make and sell their creations. Creating standards of weights and measures Congress also has the power to “fix the standard of weights and measures.” This is important because it assures us as citizens that all states will use the same standards. This assures, for example, that a 5 pound bag of sugar in Iowa weighs the same as a 5 pound bag of sugar in Florida. Establishing lower courts This is part of the system of checks and balances. Congress has the right to establish federal courts that are lower than the Supreme Court. Though the necessary and proper clause, Congress has exercised the power to decide what constitutes a federal crime and what punishments can be given for committing such crimes. Defense and Military Powers Several of the powers listed in Article I, Section 8 involve defense and military issues. Some of these powers are shared with the president. For example, only Congress has the official right to declare war, however the president has the authority as Commander-in-Chief of the military, to send troops to various places for military action.
Should I have acted like an ass back? Hi everyone, I was in my local United States Postal Services office right before they closed. My wife and I were going to go out, but realized someone was trying to come in. I told her to stay back because I didn't want to have the guilt of telling her she couldn't come in. There was another guy already standing by the door that looked like just a waiting to leave guy. He then started accusing me of being "racist" and that I was all SCARED and shit. He escorted me out talking his shit not hearing what I had to say at all. I did NOT want to give the hard working fellows in the office more work, so I chose to stay until the lady at the door realized it was closed. I got pissed and said "what the f*ck is your problem?" then he got in my face like he was going to attack me and called me names. I got pissed off then told my wife I wouldn't stoop down to his level and so I went back. I knocked as he ignored me then he finally allowed me to speak to him. I apologized telling him my story. I have to admit he was a big time asshole for disrespecting me. He was NOT in uniform at all. It turns out, he was sweeping the floor. WORST experience I've ever had in my life. Accused of being a racist. He was a black guy, and I'm an Asian guy. Wow I ended up apologizing that he misunderstood me and he accepted... was I wrong to have apologized? How come I still feel like I did wrong? What would you guys have done? I'm 5'3, but am very confident I would have taken him down and arm barred the guy =). I'd like to know how everyone feels about this and what they would have done. I grew up in a diverse society and I think it is an uneducated stereotype to believe Asian people think blacks will rob them.
Do you like my short xmas story? MOLLY'S GIFT Molly waited in line counting the heads before her, “1, 2, 3, 4,” It would soon be her turn. The man sat in a gold chair; behind him were his reindeer and his sleigh bulging with presents. She could hear his joyful laugh booming all the way down the queue. “HO, HO, HO, and what would you like, Sam?” he asked the red haired boy, now seated upon his lap. “I want a bike, a big blue one,” Sam answered. Molly looked up at her mother and smiled. “Remember and ask for what you want, Molly,” she said. “I have a letter for Santa, mum,” “Oh ok, on you go,” her mother replied, “it’s your turn now, sweetheart.” Molly ran and jumped onto Santa’s knee. “Hi Molly, what would you like for Christmas?” He asked. Molly looked down at her letter and handed it to Santa. “This is all I want, Santa.” Santa took the letter and his eyes moved over the writing, “Wouldn’t you like a toy like all the other boys and girls?” “No, this is all I want,” “I will see what I can do,” Santa said with a wink. “Bye,” Molly said as she jumped down and returned to her mother's side. “What did you ask for?” her mother questioned. “Nothing. I know that's not the real Santa, mum,” she said, her eyes on the floor. “So it doesn’t matter.” Molly ran to answer the door; it had been two weeks since her visit to see Santa. She was surprised to see the man standing there, only this time his red suit was replaced with a postal uniform. Winking the same wink, he told Molly “Give this letter to your mother,” before walking away. Molly ran to the family room, and handed her mother the letter. “Oh my god,” said her mother, her hand clasped her mouth and a lone tear leaked from her eyes. “What is it mummy?” Molly asked. “Daddy’s coming home for Christmas, Molly.” “Merry Christmas, mummy,” said Molly with a wink.

USPS question--which is better, being a rural carrier associate, or a city carrier? I'm currently an RCA, even though I live in the city. I have to drive about 40 minutes to get to the post office I work at. I went for RCA because I didn't want to wear the uniform, and liked the idea of getting the extra money for mileage/maintenance. So I bought a 2003 Prius to deliver the mail in. It's working out pretty well...except I'm starting to get worried about the cost of repairs. Multiple people have told me that if you work several times a week, you end up spending so much on car repairs that you end up with the same amount you would have gotten for working two or three days a week. This is my only job, so I can't really afford to buy a backup car. I'm just now getting close to the end of my first 90 working days...but I'm still getting back from my route just in time for dispatch, especially if I work on a Monday. Part of what's slowing me down is my car--it's not converted, so I spend a lot of time getting in and out to rotate the trays of mail, I can only fit one tray up front at a time. I know I'd have to take the city carrier exam, when they're hiring city carriers. I'm pretty sure I can get a good score, especially since I have bonus points for being ex-military. I do *not* intend to work for the postal service as a career...I'm only doing this to pay off my credit card debt, then I'm going to go to school with the G.I. Bill. So losing my seniority (not that there's much of it) towards full time is not an issue. Someone who's done both, preferably.....Should I get my car converted and keep being an RCA? Or should I go ahead and try to get a city carrier position?
Hilarious story of a nigerian scammer trying to swindle money from me? My name is Andrew. I work in a bank in North London. And you simply wouldn't believe the number of times people ask me to give them money. Not just small amounts of money either. I'm talking about entire mortgage repayments, or refinancing of companies. I've been asked on occasions if I could allow strangers access to our accounts department's records when the building has been closed for the weekend! I understand that at least some of those enquirers have since been questioned by our local police force. But you just wouldn't believe the things that people ask you when they find out that you run a bank. So, anyway, I wasn't at all surprised when I received a letter from Nigeria asking for access to one of my accounts. It appeared, or so the author claimed, that he was the son of the deposed Nigerian leader General Aducha Swame. And, so he went on to explain, the Swame family had tens of million pounds in several Lagos bank accounts which they seemed eager to share with me. How delightful, I thought. And, considering the fact that I'd never heard of Obi Swame before, I also thought how kind! I was a little tired on that day, and most fed up. My wife had recently left me, for the second time, and, on this occasion, I saw no prospect of her returning. I was sitting in my study fiddling and feeling morose. Ordinarily Obi's letter would have been ripped into pieces by that stage. But this wasn't an ordinary occasion. I looked again at the Nigerian man's clumsy phraseology. YOU MUST REPLY IMMEDIATELY. I WAIT FOR YOU... and on and on in went. All in capital letters and promising greater riches with each and every sentence. Obi, I thought, you've caught me at a bad time in my life. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to make you suffer for it! My aunt Grace was old. She had just returned home after a kidney operation. I'd remembered visiting her in hospital and smelling un-emptied bed-pans. It wasn't a pleasant recollection, but it gave me an immediate idea. I can't send you any money, I wrote, I'm in hospital having a kidney operation. But, when I get released I'll wire several hundreds of pounds to any Nigerian bank that you'd care to mention. I must confess that I had a little chuckle as I licked my airmail envelope. I knew that I had some old, Dutch Guilders somewhere. They'd be perfectly useless now, after the introduction of the Euro. But it pleased me greatly to imagine the expression on Obi Swame's face when he received my useless money! It took me ages to find the Guilders. I even had to make several trips up into the attic. Eventually I discovered them in a suitcase at the back of my garage. It worried me to be sending money in the regular mail. Even the inclusion of deprecated bank notes made me feel uneasy. I know it sounds silly. After-all, here I was posting my cash to a swindler in Lagos, and fretting about the British postal system. But, I'm not saying that it made any sense. I'm just saying that that's how I felt. So that's how a dishonest man in Lagos City came to receive four hundred useless Dutch Guilders from me. I'M SORY TO HEET YOU SICK, Obi wrote. PLESE SEND ENGLIISH MOONEY. I can't send you any English money, I replied. I'm in hospital. I can't send you the money. MOOMEY MOONI. GIVE OBI MONEY, the West African insisted. OBI MUST HAVE MONI. Well, Obi, I thought. You're very rude and insistent. OK, I agreed. I'll give you money. But, before I do, there's something that you must do for me. Are you a handsome chap? VERI GOOD LOOKI, Obi assured me. I'm sorry, Obi, I explained. I just can't take your word for it. You see, my wife's left me, and I've met a new woman online. She wants to see my photograph. And I can't send her pictures of me, lying in a hospital bed with my wee running through a plastic tube, now, can I? WAT YU DOO? Obi asked. What am I going to do? I replied. Well, Obi, old friend, I typed. If you really are a nice looking fellow, would you be good enough to send me a photograph which I could use instead? So Obi obligingly posted me a photograph of himself, dressed in a suit, and holding a bunch of flowers. YOU VERY SEXI WOMAN, he'd written. ILOVE YU VERI MUCH. I must say, Obi did look quite fetching. And I felt almost sorry for the act of deception that I'd carried out. But, Obi himself had started our correspondence, and my pangs of guilt soon passed. Obi, I wrote. You are a handsome devil, but I'm afraid the woman that I've met is rather a frisky filly, and she wants a picture of me utterly in the all-together. If it wouldn't be too much trouble for you, could you send me one of those? Now, by this point, I wasn't expecting a reply. Naked photographs of Nigerians aren't my regular stock-in-trade, and I had no great hopes that that fact would change. But I was wrong. In the middle of the following week I received a note from my new pen-pal. ME VERI NAKED, he wrote. ME FRONT ME BACK. And, accordingly, Obi Swame had posted me several images of him posing, without a stitch of clothing on, but still clutching his bunch of flowers. Now, I know that the political situation in Nigeria is unstable. The Nigerians seem forever to be changing one dictatorial figurehead with another. And, it seems to me, that such leaders are mindful that nothing should damage their reputation. It didn't take me long to work out that the present incumbent called himself General Fuga. The new general, it appeared, was without a sense of humour when it came to matters of his personal appearance. As I've found to be commonplace in dictatorships the world over, the man at the top of society plastered his likeness on billboards all over town. Now this, I thought, was far too good an opportunity to miss. Obi, I wrote, the woman I've met was most pleased with your photograph. But, unfortunately, like many women, she's greatly turned on by the notion of power and influence. I think she would be stimulated by the sight of you, pretending to be me, of course, with no clothes on, standing in front of an enlarged photograph of General Fuga. NO PROBLE, Obi replied. And rapidly he dispatched the requested scene. That's fantastic, I enthused. But there does appear to be something of a distance between you and the great man in the background. Would it be at all possible for you to find an image of him with an extended hand? And then stretch out your manhood, and pose so that your pride-and-joy appears to be being supported by the general himself? And that's how I came to have an image of a naked Nigerian's errection being held out by a man in a military uniform. Now, I bet there aren't many people who can boast of ownership of one of those! It doesn't take long to look up the postal address of the Nigerian Presidential Palace. By the time I'd received Obi's letter I'd already addressed my own missive to General Fuga. Being a newspaper reporter, I lied, I'm about to publish a photograph of you holding Obi Swame's willy. The phonecall which I promptly received from the Nigerian High Commissioner was extraordinarily polite. "We're very sorry to trouble you," Doctor Ugama assured me. "But, do you think it would be at all possible for us to enquire as to how you came by this most curious of depictions of our president?" "Why certainly you may!" I replied. "Obi Swame sent it to me in a letter, whilst he was attempting to swindle me out of enormous sums of money!" And that's the least thing that I heard from Obi Swame. I understand that in Lagos City there is a newspaper called The Telegraph. Someone did send me a clipping from it which reported the fact that one Obi Swame had been arrested on account of the fact that he'd been making disrespectful images of important people. But the article failed to mention the names of the dignitaries that Obi had upset.
Should we remember those victims of Zionist terror? Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine. These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang. Before the British Mandate, the Jewish settlers had formed a group of mounted armed watchmen called "Hashomar" and with the advent of the British Mandate, it became the Haganah (Defense). With a membership of 60,000 Zionist Jews, the Haganah had a field army of 16,000 trained men and a unit called the Palmach, which was a full-time force, numbering about 6000. The Irgun Zvai Leumi included between 3000 and 5000 armed terrorists, and grew out of the Haganah and its Palmach branch in 1933. The Irgun was not ready to obey the Jewish Agency which sought to dilute the terror of the Haganah in order not to lose its respectability. In 1939, one of Irgun's commanding officers, Abraham Stern, left the parent organization and formed the Stern Gang, numbering some 200 to 300 dangerous fanatics. SOME EARLY EXAMPLES OF JEWISH-ZIONIST TERROR. August 20, 1937 - June 29, 1939. During this period, the Zionists carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others. November 25, 1940.

The frequency of these advertisements (which will pop up on your screen in a separate browser) will vary depending on your use of the Internet. Please note that you will receive Adult-oriented ads if you utilize keywords related to such content or if you view Adult-oriented websites. On occasion, you may search for a website and receive an error from your browser software indicating that the site cannot be found.

Licensor reserves the right to change the provisions of its Privacy Policy from time to time. Your Use of the Licensed Software following the posting of such changes to Licensor’s Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. Licensor does not make any and hereby disclaims to the maximum extent allowed by law any and all covenants, representations and warranties with respect to its compliance with the statements of intent contained in Licensor's privacy policy. 11. COMPATIBILITY. Licensor does not warrant that the Licensed Software will be compatible with your hardware or other software installed on your computer system. Compatibility issues may cause your computer's performance to suffer. In the event that the Licensed Software is not compatible with your hardware or other software installed on your computer system, the Licensed Software can be uninstalled as provided in Section 7, above. Like all software, the Licensed Software utilizes some of your computer's resources to run, including system memory and Internet connection. Use of the Licensed Software on a computer with inadequate system resources will cause such computer's performance to suffer. 12. USER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. You acknowledge, represent and warrant that: (a) you own the computer on which you are installing the Licensed Software, or have the authority to install the Licensed Software on such computer; (b) your installation and/or Use of the Licensed Software will not violate any local, state or federal laws that apply to you, or the Use or installation of the Licensed Software; (c) Licensor is not causing the Licensed Software to be installed on your computer, but has provided the Licensed Software to you, which you are installing of your own volition; and (d) you have read and fully understand the terms of this Agreement. 13.

By using the Licensed Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list. 14. MISCELLANEOUS. 14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any Third Party Software Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties relating to this Agreement which are not fully expressed in this Agreement. No waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party affected by the waiver, amendment or modification; provided, however, that that Licensor may unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement or a company that owns or controls Third Party Software may modify their Third Party Software Agreement at any time and you shall have notice of these changes by reference to the Version number of this document and the effective date for such version (or the Third Party Software Agreement may be amended according to that company’s particular policies). Further, no waiver of any term, condition or default of any term of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition or default. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Third Party Agreement with respect to the use of the Licensed Software and the obligations, duties or liability of Licensor, this Agreement shall control notwithstanding such conflicting language. 14.2 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular provisions held to be unenforceable and the unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by mutually acceptable provisions which, being valid, legal and enforceable, come closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision. 14.3 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and each and every portion of this Agreement shall be interpreted pursuant to the internal laws of the Country of Costa Rica, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court located in Cost Rica for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and the parties each agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts and not to plead or claim that any such court is an inconvenient or otherwise improper or inappropriate forum). 14.4 Injunctive Relief. Licensee acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by Licensor as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by Licensee would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to Licensor for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, Licensor will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and Licensor will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief.
