Pronunciation: \ˈkrü-sə-bəl\ Function:noun Etymology:Middle English corusible, from Medieval Latin crucibulum earthen pot for melting metalsDate:15th century 2 : a severe test

For me, there has been no more powerful force-of-growth-within than to stand before "authority" and admit culpability to transgressions..
Recently, I had to go to court over an issue that I was arrested for and after 6 weeks of anxiety and fear that the outcome would have IMMENSE implications on my current situation. The day arrived, and as is always per the case, I had to wait until all the other cases were finished.
My reputation must always precede me..
I have to say that there is nothing that comes close to this humbling experience..I've had to physically defend myself against people who would kill me, in the Name of God, just because I was gay or defending someone else over same. Although quite frightening at the time, it still does not come as close as going to court..
I've always had a Policy of Truth in these situations. To stand there and call the fire down upon myself before the DA even has a chance to do so.
Admit to culpability..own it without Pride or Guile.
This is the test of one's worth to themselves, and there is always a moment when everything stops--time expands--allowing you that brief instant to recognize the Truth in what you have done..this is TRUE JUDGEMENT.
Nothing anyone else says to you about you even comes close..but some try.
As I sit in the courtroom and listen to others in their arraignment, I see many--but not all-try to wrangle their way out of the predicament that they themselves created.
Yes, I have Pride when it comes to acknowledging my own transgressions, for that one inch of integrity is all I have or will ever have. It is the both the best and most of us..
To look justice in the eyes, without hesitation, and say "guilty" honors yourself in so many ways.
These past few days here on Mindsay have been a test for me to see who really is my "friend" and not someone who thinks; "I like him, but he's a sinner--let's all pray for him".
This test proved and honed my integrity and that of others.
By doing so, my friends have earned my respect and trust and protection..YES PROTECTION, for I've learned through all this that if they are willing to believe in me, I'm willing to put everything on the line to insure their safety.
If you look into my profile you will see that I've classified everyone as "family"
and they are..more than the measure my own biological family has "given' to me.
for that, I say;
"Thank You"

An off-duty Los Angeles police officer who was paralyzed after his young son accidentally shot him in 2006 filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the manufacturer of the gun involved in the accident.
Enrique Chavez of Anaheim was shot in the back by his 3-year-old son after the boy grabbed his father's Glock 21 — a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol — from the back seat of his pickup truck.
The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court, alleges that Glock Inc.'s gun was dangerous because its safety device was "non-existent or ineffective" at preventing an accidental shot.
Chavez, 35, is also suing the manufacturer of the gun's holster and the retail stores that sold him the gun and the holster. He bought the gun at the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club and purchased a holster made by Uncle Mike's and Bushnell Outdoor Products from Turner's Outdoorsman.
The lawsuit alleges the defendants knew the safety device was defective and that 5.5 pounds of pressure on the trigger frequently results in accidental discharges.
The lawsuit alleges product liability, breach of warranty and loss of consortium, and seeks general, special and punitive damages, and attorneys fees.
Do we really need someone like this 'again' as president? I don't think so! How anyone can believe this is beyond me, How any one can believe that we should not have these kind of rights continue as part of our national identity is hard for me to understand.

Here's McCain, in his own words, proving exactly how out of touch he really is:
"The United States Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of this country." *
What???
Yesterday's powerful decision by the Court (a decision Americans should be proud of) affirmed a fundamental constitutional right -- in this case, the right of a detainee to challenge the government's grounds for confining him. What does McCain think is so bad about that?
Does he think protecting the right to be heard in court is...
- ...worse than locking thousands of Americans in internment camps because they had Japanese ancestry? (Korematsu v. United States -- 1944)
- ...worse than forcing African Americans to sit at the back of the bus? (Plessy v. Ferguson -- 1896)
- ...worse than slavery? (Dred Scott v. Sanford -- 1857)
Really, Senator McCain?

Emergency management1 is critical to court performance. For many years, court leaders have been concerned with ensuring the safety of all who use the nation’s courthouses. During the 1978 Second National Conference on the Judiciary, participants recognized that “security in the courtroom and in the courthouse has been an increasing problem in recent years” (Friesen, 1978, p. 195). The 1990 Trial Court Performance Standards required courts to ensure the safety of their facilities (Commission on Trial Court Performance Standards, 1990).
In 1995, the National Association for Court Management produced the Court Security Guide, and several states followed with their own security manuals. This focus on emergency management increased exponentially following the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001. Since then, the court community has heightened its efforts to address safety issues across the board. For example, the September 2002 9-11 Summit (http://www. 9-11summit.org/) brought together court leaders from across the country to discuss emergency management and pool the knowledge of court professionals who experienced emergencies firsthand. Judicial organizations also responded by offering programs on, creating committees to specifically address, and writing journal and newsletter articles on emergency management. The Best Practices Institute Board also acknowledged the importance of emergency management by designating it a focus area for the Institute in 2002-2003.
