Golf Properties

Obama is giving this questionaire to those members of his transition team, specifically, #59

"(59) Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."

First, is he asking this same quesiton about cars? Alcohol usage?
Second, giving registration information such as the serial number of your gun is a very dumb idea. You might as well give a hacker your credit card number. There is a reason you just can’t walk into the police office and ask to ‘browse’ through the gun registration files.

Further, what is ‘complete ownership information’? You bought it, you own it. What else is there? Are you expected to be able to produce a receipt? No reason to keep a recipt any more than you keep one for your golf clubs. What about if you were gifted the gun or inhereted it?

I have a pump action .22LR rifle that my Grandfather bought as a young boy during the Great Depression at an auction of a farmer who was loosing his farm. This rifle played a very important part in keeping himself and his siblings fed during the Great Depression. How do you provide ‘complete ownership information’ on that gun?

Bob has some good points, but think about that for a minute.

If someone does have a ‘fishy’ past, are they going to admit it? NO! they are going to lie about it! Do you think anyone is going to report that gun they stole? Do you think anyone is going to report they have been cheating on their taxes?

Further, how is the Obama team going to process the info anyways. Lets say you are dumb enough to give them the serial number on your firearm, what then? Gun sales are presonal info, tightly controlled, Obama staff can’t just walk in and start researching. What are they going to do, have the ATF run the checks for them?

Is that smart of the Obama team? Waste the ATF’s time chasing down info on legally owned firearms on the tiny tiny tiny off chance there is something ‘fishy’ about it?
Holyoke makes a good point too. A lot of the questions are designed to show where trouble can lay. However, all the rest simply ask for you to give info (like your speeches, your other streams of income, your real estate holdings, etc) that is all public info that can be turned up with a little bit of digging.

In no other catagory is there a demand of specific private info. For instance, there is no demand that ‘a photocopy of the jucy tidbits of the diary be included’ or demand proof that you legally own the property you have. They ask about a phyiscal, but never demand proof you had it and a copy of the findings.

It would be fine if they asked general quesitons about firearms, (do you own firearms? do you hunt? targetshoot? other? Have you ever been convicted of a firearm crime? been a victim of a firearm crime? been in a firearms related accident?

That would be fine, however, demanding proof of ownership, private legally sensitive info, id numbers, no, too far!
Some claim Obama fears wackjobs and gunnuts attempting to kill him.

If you are planning on doing that, you going to admit firearm ownership on the form? Hey, let the secret service know, maybe they can run a TV add "Planning on killing Obama? Please call 1-877-SECSERV

"If they wanted they could get the registration number for any registered firearm in the country whether or not the owner was applying for a job with them or not"

False. You cannot, protected info. No more than you can run a background check and find if a woman had an abortion, or see medical records. Besides, very few guns are legally required to be registered.

He wants the gun info because during his debates against Clinton he clearly stated he was for banning handgun sales and limiting all gun sales. Consequently he can’t have any gun owners working for him directly.

I live in CA. and am going through the division of property phase of a divorce. I am the Petitioner. This case has been dragging on for so long that the divorce itself has already gone past it’s legal waiting period & been finalized. I am now planning to serve Respondant with a Request for production of Documentation. My Question? Can I just type this up and mail it to the defendant, or does it have to be done through the court?

Btw, I no longer retain an attorney, as the respondant has brought this down to a "pots & pans" case ( not worth paying an attorney to keep up with their laughable documentation being ’served’ on me involving imaginary golf clubs, etc.)
My reason for considering the request for prod. of documents is basically to show that everything the respondant has stated in their Income and Expense and Assest and Debt forms is absolutely false. I just want this annoyance to end.
Thank You.
I should have been more specific with my question. Does the document itself have to be a legal document that I file with the court (the Request for Production of Documents), or can it just be a letter that I type up myself listing the documents I’m requesting? Thanks.

If you are representing yourself, pro se, then you are able to draft these documents yourself. However the "Petitioners Request for Production of Discovery Documents" is not a letter, it’s a legal pleading, if you will. The legal form would look exactly like the complaint that you served on the respondent (which I hope you have a copy of). Just copy the caption (the information with the court, names of parties and index number, the way it looks on the complaint) and also, find the Civil Practice Rule that governs your request for these documents, and state that rule in the first sentence of your pleading. Then list the documents you are requesting by paragraph (1., 2., 3., 4.)

However, be prepared to receive an objection from the respondant’s counsel stating that your request is overbroad or doesn’t lead to any admissable. In which case, then you would have to file a motion to retrieve these documents and have a judge rule in your favor.

Ten Dollahs

Stumpy Grinder and his wife Martha were from Portland, Maine. Every year they went to the Portland Fair, and every year Stumpy said " Ya know Mahtha, I’d like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane."

and every year Martha would say "I know Stumpy, but that ihplane ride costs ten dollahs…. and ten dollahs is ten dollahs."

So Stumpy says " By Jeebers Mahtha, I’m 71 yeahs old, if I don’t go this time I may nevah go."

Martha replies " Stumpy, that there aihplane ride is ten dollahs…and ten dollahs is ten dollahs."

So the pilot overhears them and says " Folks, I’ll make you a deal, I’ll take you both up for a ride, if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say ONE word, I won’t charge you, but just one word and it’s ten dollars."

They agree and up they go…. the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard, he does it one more time, still nothing… so he lands.

He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says " By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to holler out, but you didn’t."

And Stumpy replies " Well, I was gonna say something when Mahtha fell out…but ten dollahs is ten dollahs!

Maine Winters

Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.

After a long pause, he grunted and said, "That’s good. I couldn’t take another one of these Maine winters."

The Teethbrush

Research had been going on for many years in regard to the invention of the toothbrush. Researchers knew the purpose of the device but wanted to know and acknowledge the originating location. After a very long and exasperating study, the researchers came to their conclusion about the origin of the toothbrush. It was decided that the brush was invented in Maine.

Intrigued by the discovery, the media asked the researchers how they came to this conclusion.

The researchers all agreed that it was simple deduction: "If it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush."

I have some word problems that I need help with. I worked them and not sure if they are correct.

a real estate agent lakes a commission of 4% on the value of properties sold. If she sells 3 houses worth $109,000, $129,000 & 165,000 in one month how much is her commission?

Commission = Commission Rate * Merchandise
$16,120 4% 403,000

I multiplied 403,000 by 4% did I set the problem up right?

Larry sold $4,100 worth of stereo equipment during the holiday season and his commission check was for $287.00. What was the commission rate?

I divided the commission check amount of 287.00 by the total amount of equipment sold which was 4,100.

CR = 287.00/4100.00
CR = 8%

Did I calculate this correctly?

Suppose you make purchases with a total retail price of 180.00 and the amount you have to pay is 185.40. Figure the sales tax rate.

I subtracted the total cost of 185.40 by the original price of 180.00 which gave me a difference of 5.40. I then divided 5.40 by the original cost of 180.00 which gave me a tax rate of 3%

TR = 185.40 – 180.00 = 5.40
5.40/180.00 = 0.03 or 3%

Did I calculate this correctly?

The tax rate in Hamilton County is 6% if 7.20 is the tax on a purchase, what is the price of the purchase?

I added the tax of 7.20 by the tax rate of 6% which gave me a total of 7.63 I wasn’t sure how to set up this problem.

The total cost including a 5.5% sale tax on a set of golf clubs was 443.10. figure the retail price of the clubs?

I used this formula: Original Price + Sales Tax = Total Cost

OP + ST = TC
x + 5.5% = 443.10
1x + 5.5% = 443.10
6.5% = 443.10/6.5% = $6816

Not sure if I calculated that right as that 6816 is a HUGE number. I did figure though that 443.10 – 5.5% = 418.73
Did I calculate that correctly?

On real estate commission:
= 0.04($109,000 + $129,000 + $165,000)
= 0.04($403,000)
= $16,120

Answer: You’re right!
—————
Larry’s commission rate:
= 100%($287/$4,100)
= 100%([$287/$41]/[$4,100/$41])
= 100%(7/100)
= 700/100% or 7%

Answer: 7% instead of 8%.
—————
Sales tax rate:
= 100%([$185.40 - $180.00]/$180.00)
= 100%($5.40/$180.00)
= 100%(0.03)
= 3%

Answer: You’re right!
—————
Purchase price:
= $7.20/0.06
= $120.00

Answer: $120.00 is the purchase price.
————–
Retail price of golf clubs:
= $443.10/(1 + 5.5%)
= $443.10/1.055
= $420.00

Answer: $420.00
