I would like to see pictures of the IED. Now anything has the potential to be an IED but not everything that looks like an IED is an IED. Good to take precautions because all it takes is one IED and we will loose a few more freedoms for the sake of security.5 points

When I was a lad we had a Mustang that required a minimum of two people to operate. Whoever road shotgun operated the 'throttle wrench.' As the throttle cable had broken, we tied a wire off to a wrench and attached it to the carburetor. It was a very valuable lesson in communication. "Upshift, now!" *reduce throttle* "Done!" *increase throttle* Now of course, the lights were a completely different matter, and in order to activate the rear brake lights, you needed a second person the the back seats to touch the bare wires together. This would lead to a three man synchronization that to this day I haven't seen matched without years of training. "Downshifting!" *reduce throttle* "Braking!" *sparking wires from the backseat* "Complete stop!" *release throttle" *constant sparking* "Taking off!" *increase throttle greatly* *no sparking* The car was a death trap. You had to start it from popping off the solenoid, and the rag bushing in the steering column was gone, which meant you had 45* of dead air from side to side before reaction, the floorboards didn't exist, but the road signs kept you from stepping through, most of the time. Now, looking back as a mostly responsible adult, I am appalled at my actions, but at the time, just an old redneck kid deep in the woods, it was the time of my life. I had a car, and I was free.4 points

It's a great idea, even if it doesn't necessarily maximize the space available in a safe. That said, I don't see anything spectacular about the safe itself. Their angle seems to be marketing the rotating rack. I bet with a lazy susan base from Lowe's, a jigsaw and a sheet pieces of 1/2 plywood, you could make something similar and save yourself a couple thousand dollars.3 points

It's normal for a health care provider to ask that at the beginning of the conversation. If you have a carrier they don't accept, then getting all your personal information and finding out what you need done is a waste of everyone's time, unless you happen to be able to pay 100% out of pocket which is unusual these days. I'd be more upset if they took the time to get my information, get the referring doctor's information, find out a good time for me to come in, then tell me "oh, sorry. we don't take XYZ insurance." As for the location, you do know that some people live and work in different places, right? Depending on the time of day, an office near my work may be more convenient for me than an office near my home.3 points

Not going to be a very long series. How long can some Californians last against zombies without firearms? Or worse yet, how are they able to kill zombies when the guns are all locked up in their storage containers.3 points

So after trip to eye doctor about new glasses last week he wanted me to go to Loden Vision Center for a cataract evaluation exam. I called Yesterday and when the woman answered to the phone she said May I help you and I said my eye doctor said I needed to call you and get an appointment for Cataract exam. The next words out of your mouth was who is your insurance carriers?????? Didn't even ask for my name first. I fired back and said don't you even want to know my name or is the money more important than patient care at Loden???? He tone changed really fast and she began taking down all my information and then finally got around to my insurance carriers. I told her I wanted an afternoon appointment. Now I called the Gallatin Location Of Lodens and she says which office do you want to go to and named of 3 that would require a 30 + minute drive and I asked he if I had called the Gallatin Location and she said yes and I said does my address not say Gallatin Tennessee and she said yes and I said if I live in Gallatin and your office is located in Gallatin why would I want an appointment in downtown Nashville? A long pause on the phone and she said they had appointment for 1:45 of September 2nd and I said I will take it and I thanked her. I sincerely hope that their doctors are much more intelligent than she is............... :stunned:2 points

To be fair, seems the public wasn't permitted in there for this one, not even sure who the few people on the audience were. Would have to see the demographic about TV viewership though ... While I agree is was a relative "non-event", I think Carly "won" it, so I do look for her star to rise as some of the "a team" falter. She might wind up being veep pick or something, who knows. - OS2 points

She's in the prelim bout, starts in an hour. If she can pull off being the biggest fish in the smaller pond, might be better than having been in the feature event in the first place. I must say I've been quite impressed with her every time I've heard her responses to questions. Her take on ISIS and other Mideast issues on Morning Joe yesterday was amazing with its detailed knowledge of the various countries involved, much different from the usual "just hammer them" responses. - OS2 points

Are the late models better? I thought all the models were about the same? [URL=http://s779.photobucket.com/user/richarddacat/media/4917_zpsm9lf4ov7.jpg.html][/URL] :) Nice car, looks roomy. :up:2 points

At this point I am hoping for a Trump v Sanders matchup. #teamwatchtheworldburn2 points

been watching FOX and their recap. Been hearing the whining about how Trump spoke to Kelly. So what? Who cares? She certainly is not offended. I give her more credit than that. Who does not want to hear our president say that kind of stuff to some asshole world leader? Why is his honesty and frank speaking a problem? Why do we prefer whitewashed politicians? WTF? I want a guy who will call a spade a spade.1 point

I'm not sold on Trump. I really appreciate his verbal incontinence and I believe he would probably run the business aspects the country very well. But there's more too it than that. Plus, I think he's a closet liberal when he falls out of peoples good graces.1 point

Has iTunes ever been easy to use? If it wasn't iPod, iPhone, or iPad very few people would be using iTunes if it wasn't for those devices. Thanks Robert1 point

Glock 43 significantly larger than Kahr PM/CM, which is the largest gun I myself would pocket carry: Which means IWB/OWB. Which means I'd choose something more than 6+1. - OS1 point

I don't know man, if Trump plays that 1-5-10-15 tax plan that most of us never heard of, people will be jumping onboard faster than the ship can stay afloat. He could have Biden as the VP and I would still vote for him with that plan.1 point

Trump is of course almost certain to fade, just because of who he really has been politically, which is far more liberal than even the least conservative part of the GOP. I'm thinking that if 4 or 5 are still tightly bunched before Super Tuesday, you might see one go ahead and match up early with a veep to try and gain the edge ongoing. If election were tomorrow, given the choices we have, I wouldn't exactly gag at pulling the lever for say Rubio/Fiorina. - OS1 point

We're in Powell (Claxton, technically) and do both Duracoat or Cerakote in-house. We're happy to discuss options on either with you and go over what you'll be doing with the firearm to make sure we choose the coating, color, and whether a clear coat is necessary. Our gunsmith is also happy to go over any questions/concerns you have while you're here in the store as well.1 point

Once again I am thankful for all the well wishes. The cardiac Dr has found a minor issue but he doesn't think it is the cause of my problem. I am supposed to see a pulmonary Dr today for a lung function test. Wait and see.1 point

Sweet. I bought 2012 with a 5.7 that looks just like yours this year for my wife. It is a sweet ride, you'll enjoy it. I enjoy seeing all the on comming traffic slow down when they get close & the ones that will not pass in the interstate.1 point

Samson Evo. Uses standard barrel nut also. Can be had as keymod or proprietary rail sections. Made with 1.56" ID to fit most supressors but only 1.8" OD. I have a 15" and 10", it's an excellent handguard. Click on the lengths at midway and it'll change the picture. Shop around, might find a better price. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2852128132/samson-evolution-series-customizable-free-float-handguard-ar-15-aluminum-matte1 point

I doubt he will. It'll probably end up a lot like when someone is hungry and really really wants tacos. But they can't have tacos because they don't know how to make tacos, and they can't find anyone that will make them tacos. So instead, he settle for hotdogs to rid the pangs. The hotdogs satiate the pangs, but not the desire. He still desires tacos.1 point

I took my class twice about 5 years apart b/c I moved out of state briefly and came back, by the second time the class members had changed dramatically and MANY were completely inexperienced with firearms and several didn't own one yet. That second time I took the class I had to ask the RO/instructor to shoot later since the woman in the lane next to me kept sweeping me with her muzzle. The instructor finally asked her to stop and finish after the rest of the groups were done so he could take some time to work with her individually. I have noticed that since then they have added not one but TWO classes for beginning shooters that can be taken before you get to the permit class to give the new shooter a chance to learn before the larger group class that is the permit class. That said, it sounds like the lady representing NA could have likely mentioned the primer classes in a much more inviting manner.1 point

That guy parks directly behind my office...he works at the shop next door and he was sporting an american flag for a while. He changed to the Dont Tread On Me recently. That car is a work of art...has a bucket covering the carb, uses a gatorade bottle as a gas cap "he stuffs it in the inlet", has xm radio, a shop rag as a passenger side windshield wiper, and some other random bits of awesomeness. I'll take some up close pics and post them later.1 point

My wife and kids ended up having to go to the roadside without me. The day before the funeral my SWAT team was asked to provide security at the church before and during the service. We were asked to be present but not be seen. We were very well hidden to maintain a tactical advantage and also to not upset the children. While I spent the day peaking out of a window, it was an honor getting to serve the family in some fashion.1 point
