judgedredd update

Hey guys just wanted to pop in and give another update. As of now my wife is 7.5months pregnant, everything is going well, wife and baby are healthy as can be, also I am still schdeduled to move this April so im still excited about that. As for my wow plans they will be set back again. I made a transfer from the Peel regional police emergency repsonse unit to the Waterloo regional police emergency repsonse unit as I live in Waterloo region. Because of the time frame that I have made the transfer in I am being shipped out with my paltoon to California to train with the LAPD swat team at their facilities for the next three months, once training is over everything looks clear for me to return to wow as a casual player.
Take care,
judgedredd

So i'm poppin in to say hey and give an update onmyself for those of you who care=). As of now my wife 4.5 months pregnant so as you can imagine things are getting a little hectic around here, shes going on maternity leave in 3 more months so i'v been pumping out 70+ hour weeks for some final savings before that happens. This week me and my wife also bought our new house! so im pretty exctied about that, our closing date is April 17th 2010. My daughter Mackenzie is doing great and can't wait for her brother/sister to be born, not sure what were having yet because we want to be suprised this time. For my wow plans, I probably won't be back in the time i had posted before because of all the work and kids stuff and what not, but you can expect me to pop on every now and then in the near future. If things work out well i'll probably be back into the full swing of things in about 4-5 months time.
Heres my new place!
House 1
House 2
House 3
House 4
Seen everyone soon, take care.

Curious

Today i was asked to assist a recruiting officer in administering the written tests to hopful police applicants. There was a high failure rate on the test among this particular group. I'm curious to see how people in guild would do with this question (this area really screwed people up), there were 15 questions on this alone.
Question 12
Based solely on the information below, which of the following witness statements is the most likely description of the suspect?
A) 6’2, 150 lbs, dreadlocks, pierced nose, baggy blue jeans, male Hispanic, red sweater with a hood
B) Crew cut hair, male black, 6’1, 210 lbs, baggy blue jeans, red sweater with a hood, pierced nose.
C) Male black, 6’2, dreadlocks, pierced nose, 210 lbs, baggy blue jeans, red sweater with a hood.
D) Dreadlocks, male black, 6’2, , tattoo left forearm, 210 lbs, baggy blue tracksuit, green sweater.
pls note if you took a guess, or write what steps you took to get your answer.
~i will post an answer for this question later~
