If this is not a definition of a wave, I don't know what one is. [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/electionmap_zpsc5564a85.jpg.html][/URL] http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/11/05/this-was-how-america-looked-after-obama-was-elected-in-2008/

I yield.............. :bow:  I'm not the best speller, but I bet you got the gist of my comment! ;)

Principal! 

I say the republicans need to flex its new muscle, and undo what O has done.  The big Veto will surely happen, but pressure the dems into a override super majority!    I remember at one time, O saying "....you would have thought they won the election......."  I say we did now!    The republicans need to shut him down, undo what the dems have done, and just lead I say!  We do not want a reach across the aisle. 

I don't care if they fire me for not flushing the toilet, I just want to ability to have my gun in my personal vehicle without fear.  Very practical too me!

Yea Glocks can grow on you. This is my little collection of 7, it all started about 20 years ago with a G17. I only have one more to go to complete this collection, the most common, the G19. Just waiting for it land in my lap! Maybe later in life I will ad a 17L and a 24 to the collection, but right now not interested in the long slides. All are Gen 2. L to R beginning at the top, 17, 21, 31, missing 19, 22, 32, and 20, and 23. [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/20140407_113328_zpsb427e55b.jpg.html][/URL]

That was simply beautiful.   Thank you for sharing.  What and honor and testament to your loved one.  

I already did!  Early voting two weeks ago. 

Not an expert, but I think rebates are handled and paid by 3rd parties.  These 3rd parties pay a certain price to the manufacturer, and basically gamble on the sales vs. actual qualifying rebates.  I am not 100%, but I think thats how that works.  I had some similar experience with something from Sears about 20 years ago, and that is what I learned. 

euwe....................

Thanks, I wasn't expecting this interview, just finished watching the Peyton get beat again by Brady. 

Clarification, it was a story about Mark Owen.  Not his real name, but the name he used when he wrote the book No Easy Day.  Apparently the government is going after him for violating not clearing his book some 2 years later.  His excuse, bad legal advice.  They may settle if he share a big portion of his profits with the government.   Hmmmm?   Here is a link from 2 years ago: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/52840-book-no-easy-day-by-mark-owens/?hl=%2Beasy+%2Bday+%2Bmark+%2Bowen

FYI, if you can catch it, you might want tune in. 

Agree for sleepers, but I am a earlier riser, and don't like when we lose DST, I like coming home after work in the daylight, not night time.

Reminder, its back to standard time now beginning at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2014. Wee bit of trivia a.m. = ante merideim which is Latin for before noon. p.m. = post meridiem which is Latin for after noon. Why Daylight Savings Time to begin with? http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/history.html History of Daylight Saving Time - DST The concept of setting the clocks ahead in the spring in order to make better use of natural daylight was first introduced by US inventor Benjamin Franklin in 1784. Benjamin Franklin first introduced DST. ©iStockphoto.com/Oleg ShipovDaylight Saving Time (DST) is a change in the standard time with the purpose of making better use of daylight and conserving energy. Clocks are generally set ahead one hour during DST, meaning that the Sun rises one hour later in the morning and sets one hour later than it otherwise would have done. Sunrise & Sunset in my city Benjamin Franklin Although DST has only been used for about 100 years, the idea was conceived many years before. Ancient civilizations are known to have engaged in a practice similar to modern DST where they would adjust their daily schedules to the Sun's schedule. For example, the Roman water clocks used different scales for different months of the Year. American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin is often credited with being the inventor of DST, even though it was never put into practice in his lifetime. In his 1784 essay “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” he proposed the idea, although a little jokingly, to economize the use of candles by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning, making use of the natural morning light instead. George Vernon Hudson Another major contributor to the invention of DST was New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson. In 1895, Hudson presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society, proposing a two-hour shift forward in October and a two-hour shift back in March. Seasons are opposite in the Earth's two hemispheres Hudson followed up his proposal with an article in 1898, and although there was interest in the idea, it was never followed through. William Willett Indepentently from Hudson, British builder William Willett proposed the introduction of DST in 1905. He suggested setting the clocks ahead 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, and switching them back by the same amount on each of four Sundays in September, a total of eight DST switches per year. Willett’s Daylight Saving plan caught the attention of Robert Pearce who introduced a bill to the House of Commons in February 1908. The first Daylight Saving Bill was drafted in 1909, presented to Parliament several times and examined by a select committee. However, the idea was opposed by many, especially farmers, and thus the bill was never made into a law. Willett died in 1915 without getting the chance to see his idea come to life. DST first used in Europe Germany was the first country to implement DST. Clocks there were first turned forward at 11:00 p.m. (23:00) on April 30, 1916. DST history in Europe The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting in order to save fuel for the war effort during World War I. The idea was quickly followed by Britain and many other countries, including the United States. Many countries reverted back to standard time post-World War I. It wasn’t until the next World War that DST made its return in many countries in order to save vital energy resources for the war. Franklin D. Roosevelt US President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted year-round DST in the United States, called “War Time” during World War II from February 9, 1942 to September 30, 1945. The change was implemented 40 days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and during this time, the U.S. time zones were called “Eastern War Time”, “Central War Time”, and “Pacific War Time”. After the surrender of Japan in mid-August 1945, the time zones were relabeled “Peace Time”. Britain applied “Double Summer Time” during World War II by setting the clocks two hours ahead of GMT during the summer and one hour ahead of GMT during the winter. Modern DST in the US In the United States, DST caused widespread confusion from 1945 to 1966 for trains, buses and the broadcasting industry because states and localities were free to choose when and if they would observe DST. Congress decided to end the confusion and establish the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that stated DST would begin on the last Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October. However, states still had the ability to be exempt from DST by passing a local ordinance. The U.S. Congress extended DST to a period of ten months in 1974 and eight months in 1975, in hopes to save energy following the 1973 oil embargo. The trial period showed that DST saved the energy equivalent of 10,000 barrels of oil each day, but DST still proved to be controversial. Many complained that the dark winter mornings endangered the lives of children going to school. After the energy crisis was over in 1976, the U.S. changed their DST schedule again to begin on the last Sunday in April. DST was amended again to begin on the first Sunday in April in 1987. Further changes were made after the introduction of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Daylight Saving or Savings? Daylight Saving today DST aka Daylight savings time is now in use in over 70 countries worldwide and affects over a billion people every year. The beginning and end dates vary from one country to another. The European Union adopted the “Summer Time” period that was used in the United Kingdom for many years, where DST begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. DST changes in the US (Washington DC) DST changes in the UK (London) DST changes in Europe (Paris) The DST schedule in the U.S. was revised several times throughout the years. From 1987 to 2006, the country observed DST for about seven months each year. The current schedule was introduced in 2007 and follows the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the period by about one month. Today, DST starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Currently, most of the United States observes DST except for Hawaii and most of Arizona, as well as the U.S. insular areas of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam.

Few years back I bought a G23 from a officer who said it was his former duty weapon.  This one glock is different from the other six that own, its release which cosmetically appears the same, simply looks bent outwards giving a shoulder for your thumb.  I just assume its a extension, or a homegrown version.  Can't you bend it yourself?
